In Reference 1 and supplemented by Reference 3, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. The proposed amendment would modify the TS by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program with implementation of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical Specification Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies." The changes are consistent with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved TS Task Force Standard TS change TSTF-425, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control- RITSTF [Risk-Informed TS Task Force] Initiative 5b," Revision 3.
Subsequent to submittal of the referenced license amendment request (LAR), FPL identified that some of the proposed changes to the TS require modifications. This supplement to the A1/("

L-2015-022 Attachment 1 ATTACHMENT I Description and Evaluation of Modifications to Proposed Changes
L-2015-022 Attachment 1 Introduction This supplement modifies the proposed changes in Turkey Point License Amendment Request (LAR) No. 229, "Application for Technical Specification Change Regarding Risk-Informed Justifications for the Relocation of Specific Surveillance Frequency Requirements to a Licensee Controlled Program." Following is a description and evaluation of the proposed changes.
Additional Changes
- a. As discussed in LAR No. 229, the Turkey Point Technical Specifications (TS) include plant-specific surveillances that are not contained in NUREG-1431 and, therefore are not included in the NUREG-1431 surveillances provided in TSTF-425. Florida Power &
Light Company (FPL) has determined that the relocation of the frequencies for these Turkey Point specific surveillances is consistent with TSTF-425, Revision 3, and with the NRC staffs model safety evaluation dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996), including the scope exclusions identified in Section 1.0, "Introduction," of the model safety evaluation, because the plant-specific surveillance frequencies involve fixed period frequencies.
Changes to the frequencies for these plant-specific surveillances would be controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP). Accordingly, FPL proposes to relocate the frequencies for the Turkey Point plant-specific surveillance requirements (SRs) below, which are not included in TSTF-425.
SR Description 4.1.2.1 .a Verify temperature of rooms containing boration flow path components 4.1.2.2.a Verify temperature of rooms containing boration flow path components 4.2.2.2.b.2 Verify Fj(Z) within limits Table 4.3-2 notation # (each Actuation Logic Test shall include energization of each relay and verification of OPERABILITY of each relay) 4.4.9.2 Verify pressurizer temperatures and spray water temperature differential within limits 4.5.2.a (footnote *) Verify air supply is shut off and sealed closed 4.9.5 Verify communications between control room and refueling personnel 4.10.1.1 Verify control rod positions 4.10.2.1 Verify thermal power < 85%
4.10.2.2 Verify requirements of listed specifications 4.10.5 Verify position indication systems are operable Page 1 of 6
L-2015-022 Attachment 1
- b. FPL proposes to relocate the SR frequencies below consistent with the frequencies relocated in TSTF-425. The table below provides a cross-reference between the SRs contained in TSTF-425 and the corresponding SRs in the Turkey Point TS.
In some instances, a table notation or footnote in the Turkey Point TS specifies the frequency for a SR, and FPL proposes to relocate these frequencies. This is an administrative deviation from TSTF-425 due to differences in the format and content of NUREG-1431 and the Turkey Point TS, which has no impact on the applicability of the corresponding model safety evaluation.
TSTF-425 SR Turkey Point SR Description 3.1.5.1 4.1.3.5. b Verify shutdown banks within the insertion limit Verify QPTR within limit using the movable incore 3.2.4.2 4.2.4.2 detectors 4.3.1.1 (Table Perform reactor trip system actuation logic test 4.3-1, notation 7 3.4.3.1 4.4.9.1.1 Verify reactor coolant system pressure and temperature within limits 3.4.12.8 4.4.9.3.1.a Perform channel operational test on required PORV 4.4.9.3.2 Verify reactor coolant vent path is open (footnote **)
3.5.2.5 4.5.2.f. 1 Verify each ECCS automatic valve actuates to correct position 3.5.2.6 4.5.2.f.2 Verify each ECCS pump starts automatically 3.9.4.1 4.9.4 Verify each containment penetration in required status Verify containment ventilation isolation on high 3.9.4.2 4.9.9 radiation signal 3.9.7.1 4.9.10 Verify refueling cavity water level Modifications to Proposed Changes
- a. TSTF-425 excludes relocating frequencies that reference other approved programs for the specific interval (such as the Inservice Testing Program or the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program). The approved programs for Turkey Point are described in Section 6.0, "Administrative Controls," of the Turkey Point TS. (TS 4.0.5 addresses SRs related to the Inservice Testing Program.) The titles of TS Table 4.4-4, Reactor Coolant Specific Activity Sample and Analysis Program; and Table 4.7-1, Secondary Coolant System Specific Activity Sample and Analysis Program, may be misconstrued as programs. However, Section 6.0 of the TS does not contain programs for sampling and analysis of reactor coolant or secondary coolant specific activity. To avoid a misunderstanding of these SRs, FPL proposes to delete the word "Program" from the titles of TS Table 4.4-4 and Table 4.7-1. SR 4.4.8 and SR 4.7.1.4, which refer Page 2 of 6
L-2015-022 Attachment 1 to the tables, are also revised to remove the word "program." These changes are an administrative deviation from TSTF-425 with no impact on the applicability of the NRC staffs model safety evaluation dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).
- b. The Turkey Point TS include a number of surveillance requirements that specify a surveillance frequency on a staggered test basis similar to "At least once per 31 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS." In these cases, LAR No. 229 relocated only a portion of the surveillance frequency (at least once per 31 days) but retained the phrase "on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS."
TSTF-425 relocates the phrase "on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS" to licensee control under the SFCP. The purpose of specifying certain surveillances to be performed on a staggered test basis is to increase the reliability of the tested system by identifying common mode failures more quickly. Relocating the frequency requirement to perform surveillances on a staggered test basis along with the periodicity allows flexibility to adjust the frequency based on operational experience and risk assessment results. For example, a frequency may be extended with a new requirement to perform the surveillance on a staggered test basis to reflect a higher risk associated with common mode failures; or conversely, a frequency may be changed to eliminate a requirement to perform the surveillance on a staggered test basis due to a lower risk or operational experience associated with common mode failure. NEI 04-10 contains information to support the correct risk modeling of surveillance frequencies with and without a requirement to perform the surveillance on a staggered test basis.
Consistent with TSTF-425, FPL proposes to relocate the phrase "on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS" from the Turkey Point surveillance requirements listed below.
Auxiliary Feedwater System SR 4.7.1.2.1.a Standby Feedwater System SR 4.7.1.6.2 Control Room Emergency Ventilation System SR 4.7.5.d.2 A.9. Sources SR 4.8.1.1.2.a
- c. SR 4.1.3.2.2 for the control rod position indication systems states: "Each of the above required analog rod position indicator(s) shall be determined to be OPERABLE by performance of a CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION and ANALOG CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST performed in accordance with Table 4.1-1." LAR No.
229 revised Table 4.1-1 to specify a frequency of "SFCP" (in accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program) for each of the required surveillance tests.
FPL proposes to revise SR 4.1.3.2.2 by replacing the phrase in accordance with Table 4.1-1 with in accordancewith the Surveillance Frequency Control Program. Additionally, the SR is modified by adding a note that states the channel calibration is not applicable to the demand position indication system as indicated in Table 4.1-1. SR 4.1.3.3.2, Page 3 of 6
L-2015-022 Attachment 1 which refers to Table 4.1-1, is also revised to refer to SR 4.1.3.2.2 rather than Table 4.1-1. With these proposed changes, Table 4.1-1 becomes redundant to SR 4.1.3.2.2 and serves no purpose. SR 4.1.3.2.2 now addresses all the necessary information previously contained in Table 4.1-1. The proposed change to eliminate Table 4.1-1 does not remove or relax any requirements but only eliminates duplicate information and simplifies the TS. This change is an administrative deviation from the NRC staffs model application dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996) with no impact on the applicability of the corresponding model safety evaluation.
- d. SR 4.5.2.b currently states:
Each ECCS component and flow path shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:
- b. At least once per 31 days by:
- 3) Verifying that each RHR pump develops the indicated differential pressure applicable to the operating conditions in accordance with Figure 3.5-1 when tested pursuant to Specification 4.0.5.
LAR No. 229 proposed the following changes to SR 4.5.2:
Each ECCS component and flow path shall be demonstrated OPERBLE:
- b. In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program by:
- 3) Verifying that each RHR pump develops the indicated differential pressure applicable to the operating conditions in accordance with Figure 3.5-1 when tested pursuant to Specification 4.0.5.
- c. In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program by:
- 1) Verifying that each SI pump develops the indicated differential pressure applicable to the operating conditions when tested pursuant to Specification 4.0.5.
In a request for additional information (RAI) (Reference 2 in the cover letter), the NRC staff noted that applying the SFCP to SR 4.5.2.b is not allowed by TSTF-425. TS 4.0.5 requires that Inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with the ASME OM Code and applicable Addenda, and TSTF-425 does not allow relocating surveillance frequencies that reference other approved programs, such as the Inservice Testing Program, for the specific interval. As a result, FPL's response to the RAI (Reference 3 in the cover letter) revised the proposed change to SR 4.5.2 b.3 to the following:
Page 4 of 6
L-2015-022 Attachment 1 Each ECCS component and flow path shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:
.3) At least once per 31 days by verifying that each RHR pump develops the indicated differential pressure applicable to the operating conditions in accordance with Figure 3.5-1 when tested pursuant to Specification 4.0.5.
SR 4.5.2 b.3 now requires surveillance testing of the residual heat removal (RHR) pumps every 31 days when tested pursuant to TS 4.0.5. However, TS 4.0.5 requires performing Inservice testing in accordance with the ASME OM Code, and the specified frequency for testing the RHR pumps under TS 4.0.5 is quarterly (once per 92 days). As a result, SR 4.5.2.b.3 contains conflicting frequencies (31 days and 92 days), so compliance with the SR would require performing the 92-day SR required by TS 4.0.5 every 31 days. At the same time, the change to SR 4.5.2.c proposed in LAR No. 229, which was not revised by the RAI response, inappropriately applies the SFCP to surveillance testing of the safety injection (SI) pumps when tested pursuant to TS 4.0.5.
To resolve the issues associated with the proposed changes to SR 4.5.2.b.2 and 4.5.2.b.3, FPL proposes to remove the surveillance frequencies from the SRs. Because the SRs are performed pursuant to TS 4.0.5, and because the ASME OM Code establishes the required surveillance frequency, no need exists to specify the TS 4.0.5 required frequency in the SR. Current SR 4.5.2.c is revised as shown below to address testing of the RHR and SI pumps in accordance with TS 4.0.5:
Each ECCS component and flow path shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:
- c. By verifying that each SI and RHR pump develops the indicated differential pressureapplicable to the operatingconditions when tested pursuant to Specification 4.0.5:
- 1) SI Pump
>1 083 psid at a metered flowrate > 300 gpm (normal alignment or Unit 4 SI pumps aligned to Unit 3 RWST), or
>1113 psid at a metered flowrate > 280 gpm (Unit 3 SI pumps aligned to Unit 4 RWST).
- 2) RHR Pump Develops the indicateddifferentialpressure applicable to operating conditions in accordancewith Figure 3.5-1.
The proposed change to SR 4.5.2.c resolves the discrepancies in the SR frequencies for testing the RHR and SI pumps and meets the exclusion criterion in TSTF-425 for frequencies that reference other approved programs for the specific interval. Removing the frequencies establishes consistency with other SRs in the Turkey Point TS that specify testing in accordance with TS 4.0.5. For example, SR 4.6.2.1 requires Page 5 of 6
L-2015-022 Attachment 1 demonstrating operability of the containment spray pumps by verifying the each pump develops the indicated differential pressure when tested pursuant to Specification 4.0.5.
SR 4.6.2.1 does not contain a specific frequency. Similarly, SR 4.6.4.3 verifies the isolation times of certain containment isolation valves are within limits when tested pursuant to Specification 4.0.5 without specifying a frequency in the SR. The proposed change also aligns the Turkey Point TS more closely with SR 3.5.2.4 in NUREG-1431, where the frequency for verifying ECCS pumps' performance is "In accordance with the Inservice Testing Program."
Removing the frequencies from the SRs that require testing pursuant to TS 4.0.5 is a deviation from the NRC staffs model application dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996) with no impact on the applicability of the corresponding model safety evaluation. The proposed change is appropriate because it eliminates duplicate and conflicting requirements in the SRs. With this change, the SRs will continue to require testing of the SI and RHR pumps in accordance with the ASME OM Code at the frequency specified in the Code.
- e. This supplement updates the TS index to reflect the proposed changes and corrects two misspellings in SR 4.8.1.1.2.f. These changes are administrative in nature and have no impact on the applicability of the NRC staffs model safety evaluation dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).
Revised Proposed Bases Changes LAR No. 229 discusses that the Turkey Point TS were based on the standard TS at the time they were issued, which did not contain Bases as comprehensive as those in NUREG-1431.
Therefore, many of the Bases markups in TSTF-425 are not applicable to the Turkey Point TS.
The proposed Bases changes revise only those Bases that currently discuss surveillance frequencies. The LAR also states that the existing Bases information describing the basis for the surveillance frequencies will be relocated to the Turkey Point SFCP. The revised Bases provided in this supplement delete information describing the basis for current surveillance frequencies, which will be relocated to the Turkey Point SFCP.

These provisions are intended to establish and confirm the position of the rod with the inoperable RPI to ensure that power distribution requirements are NOT violated.
The ACTION Statements which permit limited variations from the basic requirements are accompanied by additional restrictions which ensure that the original design criteria are met. Misalignment of a rod requires measurement of peaking factors and a restriction in THERMAL POWER. These restrictions provide assurance of fuel rod integrity during continued operation. In addition, those safety analyses affected by a misaligned rod are reevaluated to confirm that the results remain valid during future operation.
The maximum rod drop time restriction is consistent with the assumed rod drop time used in the safety analyses. Measurement with Tavg greater than or equal to 500OF and with all Reactor Coolant Pumps operating ensures that the measured drop times will be representative of insertion times experienced during a Reactor Trip at operating conditions.

Steady state operations is required to perform a proper inventory balance since calculations during maneuvering are NOT useful. For RCS operational leakage determination by water inventory balance, steady state is defined as stable RCS pressure, temperature, power level, Pressurizer and makeup tank levels, makeup and letdown, and Reactor Coolant Pump seal injection and return flows.
An early warning of PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE or UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE is provided by the automatic systems that monitor containment atmosphere radioactivity, containment normal sump inventory and discharge, and reactor head flange leak-off. It should be noted that leakage past seals and gaskets is NOT PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE. These leakage detection systems are specified in LCO 3.4.6.1, Reactor Coolant System Leakage Detection Systems.

This SR verifies that primary-to-secondary leakage is less than or equal to 150 gpd through any one SG. Satisfying the primary-to-secondary leakage limit ensure that the operational leakage performance criterion in the Steam Generator Program is met. If this SR is NOT met, compliance with LCO 3.4.5, Steam Generator (SG)

Since these valves are important in preventing overpressurization and rupture of the ECCS low pressure piping, which could result in a LOCA that bypasses containment, these valves should be tested periodically to ensure low probability of gross failure.

When PC-600/-601 are calibrated, a test signal is supplied to each circuit to check operation of the relays and annunciators operated by subject controllers. This test signal will prevent MOVs 862A, 862B, 863A, 863B from opening. Therefore, it is appropriate to tag out the MOV breakers, and enter Technical Specification Action Statement 3.5.2.a. and 3.6.2.1 when calibrating PC-600/-601.
With the RCS temperature below 3500 F, operation with less than full redundant equipment is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements.
TS 3.5.2, Action g. provides an allowed outage/action completion time (AOT) of up to 7 days to restore an inoperable RHR Pump to OPERABLE status, provided the affected ECCS Subsystem is inoperable only because its associated RHR Pump is inoperable. This 7 day AOT is based on the results of a deterministic and probabilistic safety assessment, and is referred to as a Risk-Informed AOT Extension. Planned entry into this AOT requires that a Risk Assessment be performed in accordance with the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP), which is described in the administrative procedure that implements the Maintenance Rule pursuant to 10CFR50.65.

Verifying Control Room indication applies to the valve position and NOT to the valve operator power removal. The breaker position may be verified by either the off condition of the breaker position indication light in the Control Room, or the verification of the locked open breaker position in the field. Verifying that power is removed to the applicable valve operators can be accomplished by direct field indication of the breaker (locked in the open position), or by observation of the breaker position status lamp in the Control Room (lamp is off when breaker is open).

ECCS "accessible discharge piping" is defined as discharge piping outside of containment in accordance with NRC Generic Letter 2008-01, Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems interpretation. High point vents (current or added) outside of containment on the HHSI and RHR Systems discharge piping are considered accessible.

The Recirculation pH Control System is a passive safeguard consisting of 10 stainless steel wire mesh baskets (2 large and 8 small) containing sodium tetra borate decahydrate (NaTB) located in the containment basement (14' elevation). The initial containment spray will be boric acid solution from the Refueling Water Storage Tank. The recirculation pH control system adds NaTB to the Containment Sump when the level of boric acid solution from the Containment Spray and the coolant lost from the Reactor Coolant System rises above the bottom of the buffering agent baskets. As the sump level rises, the NaTB will begin to dissolve. The addition of NaTB from the buffering agent baskets ensures the containment sump pH will be greater than 7.0. The resultant alkaline pH of the spray enhances the ability of the recirculated spray to scavenge fission products from the containment atmosphere. The alkaline pH in the recirculation sump water minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the occurrence of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on stainless steel piping systems exposed to the solution.
The OPERABILITY of the recirculation pH control system ensures that there is sufficient NaTB available in the containment to ensure a sump pH greater than 7.0 during the recirculation phase of a postulated LOCA. The baskets will NOT interact with surrounding equipment during a seismic event.

To satisfy the surveillance requirement, the two large baskets and eight small baskets must contain a combined mass greater than 7500 Ibm of NaTB. As shown in the above table, this will ensure the sump pH exceeds 7.0 at the onset of spray recirculation and for the duration of the analyzed 30-day period. The large baskets have a length and width of 54 inches, and a height of 33.25 inches and are elevated 3.5 inches above the containment floor. The smaller baskets have a length and width of 36 inches and a height of 30 inches and are elevated 4.5 inches above the containment floor.
Varying basket dimensions or elevation (e.g. basket leg height) impacts the surface to volume ratio and changes the time the NaTB is in contact with containment sump water. For instance, shorter legs would allow the NaTB to contact containment sump water sooner, therefore increasing the pH at the onset of recirculation. Longer legs, however, would reduce the pH at the onset of recirculation. The level of NaTB in the baskets required to provide an equilibrium sump solution pH greater than 7.0 is 14.75 inches from the top of the basket; 18.50 inches for the large baskets and 15.25 inches for the small baskets from the bottom of the basket.

Steam can be supplied to the pump turbines from either or both units through redundant steam headers. Two D.C. motor operated valves and one A.C. motor operated valve on each unit isolate the three main steam lines from these headers. Both the D.C.
and A.C. motor operated valves are powered from safety-related sources. Auxiliary feedwater can be supplied through redundant lines to the safety-related portions of the main feedwater lines to each of the steam generators. Air operated fail closed flow control valves are provided to modulate the flow to each steam generator. Each Steam Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump has sufficient capacity for single and two unit operation to ensure that adequate feedwater flow is available to remove decay heat and reduce the Reactor Coolant System temperature to less than 350'F when the Residual Heat Removal System may be placed into operation.
ACTION statement 2 describes the actions to be taken when both Auxiliary Feedwater Trains are inoperable. The requirement to verify the availability of both Standby Feedwater Pumps is to be accomplished by verifying that both pumps have successfully passed their ,Me,*,hly surveillance tests within the last surveillance interval. The requirement to complete this action before beginning a unit shutdown is to ensure that an alternate feedwater train is available before putting the affected unit through a transient. If NO alternate feedwater trains are available, the affected unit is to stay at the same condition until an auxiliary feedwater train is returned to service, and then invoke ACTION statement 1 for the other train.

ACTION statement 3 describes the actions to be taken when a single Auxiliary Feedwater Pump is inoperable. The requirement to verify that two independent Auxiliary Feedwater Trains are OPERABLE is to be accomplished by verifying that the requirements for Table 3.7-3 have been successfully met for each train within the last surveillance interval.
The provisions of Specification 3.0.4 are NOT applicable to the third auxiliary feedwater pump provided it has NOT been inoperable for longer than 30 days. This means that a units can change OPERATIONAL MODES during a unit's heatup with a single Auxiliary Feedwater Pump inoperable as long as the requirements of ACTION Statement 3 are satisfied.
The specified flow rate acceptance criteria conservatively bounds the limiting AFW flow rate modeled in the single unit Loss of Normal Feedwater analysis. Dual unit events such as a two unit Loss of Offsite Power require a higher pump flow rate, but it is NOT practical to test both units simultaneously. The methly flow surveillance test specified in 4.7.1.2.1.1 is considered to be a general performance test for the AFW system and does NOT represent the limiting flow requirement for AFW. Check valves in the AFW system that require full stroke testing under limiting flow conditions are tested under Technical Specification 4.0.5.
The mfe..thly testing of the Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps will verify their OPERABILITY. Proper functioning of the turbine admission valve and the operation of the pumps will demonstrate the integrity of the system.
Verification of correct operation will be made both from instrumentation within the Control Room and direct visual observation of the pumps.

Inoperable FCVs and FIVs that are closed or isolated must be verified on a periodic basis that they are closed or isolated. This is necessary to ensure that the assumptions in the safety analysis remain valid.
The 7 day Completion Time is reasonable in view of valve status indications available in the Control Room, and other administrative controls, to ensure that these valves are closed or isolated.
With two valves in the same flow path inoperable, there may be NO redundant system to operate automatically and perform the required safety function. Although the Containment can be isolated with the failure of two valves in parallel in the same flow path, the double failure can be an indication of a common mode failure in the valves of this flow path, and as such, is treated the same as a loss of the isolation capability of this flow path.

FPL has the option of monitoring UHS temperature by monitoring the temperature in the ICW System piping going to the inlet of the CCW Heat Exchangers. Monitoring UHS temperature after the ICW Pumps, but prior to CCW Heat Exchangers is considered to be equivalent to temperature monitoring before the ICW Pumps. The supply water leaving the ICW Pumps will be mixed, and therefore, it will be representative of the bulk UHS temperature to the CCW Heat Exchanger inlet. The effects of pump heating on the supply water are negligible due to low ICW head and high water volume. Accordingly, monitoring UHS temperature after the ICW Pumps, but prior to the CCW Heat Exchangers provides an equivalent location for monitoring UHS temperature.
With the implementation of the CCW Heat Exchanger Performance Monitoring Program, the limiting UHS temperature can be treated as a variable with an absolute upper limit of 104 0 F without compromising any margin of safety.

The test for lubricity is based on ASTM D975-06, testing per ASTM D6079, using the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) test at 60 degrees C and the acceptance criterion requires a wear scar NO larger than 520 microns.
At least once every 31 days, a sample of fuel oil is obtained from the storage tanks in accordance with ASTM-D2276-78. The particulate contamination is verified to be less than 10 mg/liter when checked in accordance with ASTM-D2276-78, Method A. It is acceptable to obtain a field sample for subsequent laboratory testing in lieu of field testing.
Fuel oil degradation during long term storage shows up as an increase in particulate, due mostly to oxidation. The presence of particulate does NOT mean the fuel oil will NOT burn properly in a diesel engine.
The particulate can cause fouling of filters and fuel oil injection equipment, however, which can cause engine failure.

0-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 173 of 183) 3/4.9 Refueling Operations 3/4.9.1 Boron Concentration The limitations on reactivity conditions during REFUELING ensure that:
(1) The reactor will remain subcritical during CORE ALTERATIONS, and (2) A uniform boron concentration is maintained for reactivity control in the water volume having direct access to the reactor vessel.
These limitations are consistent with the initial conditions assumed for the boron dilution incident in the safety analyses. With the required valves CLOSED during refueling operations, the possibility of uncontrolled boron dilution of the filled portion of the RCS is precluded.
This action prevents flow to the RCS of unborated water by closing flow paths from sources of unborated water. The boration rate requirement of 16 gpm of 3.0 wt% (5245 ppm) boron or equivalent ensures the capability to restore the SHUTDOWN MARGIN with one OPERABLE charging pump.
3/4.9.2 Instrumentation The OPERABILITY of the Source Range Neutron Flux Monitors ensures that redundant monitoring capability is available to detect changes in the reactivity condition of the core. There are four source range neutron flux channels, two primary, and two backup. All four channels have visual and alarm indication in the Control Room and interface with the Containment Evacuation Alarm System. The primary source range neutron flux channels can also generate reactor trip signals and provide audible indication of the count rate in the Control Room and containment. At least one primary source range neutron flux channel to provide the required audible indication, in addition to its other functions, and one of the three remaining source range channels shall be OPERABLE to satisfy the LCO.

The OPERABILITY of this system is required to restrict the release of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environment.

A normal refueling consists of 2 CORE ALTERATION sequences:
unloading the core, and reloading the core, typically with a suspension of CORE ALTERATIONS in between. The core unload sequence begins with control rod unlatching, followed by removal of upper internals, followed by unloading fuel assemblies to the SFP. The core reload sequence consists of reloading fuel assemblies from the SFP, followed by upper internals installation, followed by latching control rods. Therefore, if the Containment Ventilation Isolation System is demonstrated OPERABLE "-tloat ' n-- por 7 days following the specified testing within 10 ours prior to the start of control rod unlatching, then Containmint Ventilation Isolation System operability need NOT be demonstrate within 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> prior to the start of core reload.
