SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION Florida Power& Light Company (FPL) hereby requests an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Nuclear Plant (Turkey Point) Units 3 and 4, respectively. The proposed change modifies Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.3.2, Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation, by modifying the requirements for Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Functional Unit (FU) 6(d), Bus Stripping, and AFW FU 6(e), Trip of all Main Feedwater (MFW) Pump Breakers, in Table 3.3-2, Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) Instrumentation. The proposed change serves to alleviate the commencement of a Unit shutdown for an inoperable FU 6(d) or FU 6(e) instrument channel by establishing a 48-hour completion time, consistent with industry precedents for these anticipatory ESFAS functions.

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 System Design and Operation 2.1.1 AFW System The dual train AFW system is shared between Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 and supplies feedwater to the steam generators (SGs) during transients when normal feedwater is not available. Three quick starting steam turbine-driven AFW pumps are provided with each pump capable of delivering approximately 624 gallons per minute to the SGs.

The three AFW pumps are installed such that each supplies auxiliary feedwater to either Unit 3 or 4 or both, with any single pump supplying the total feedwater requirement of either Unit. Two pumps (B and C) are normally aligned to AFW train 2, and the third pump (A) is aligned to AFW train 1.

The turbine-driven pumps are supplied with steam from the Unit which has lost its normal feedwater supply. Steam can also be supplied from the Unit having normal feedwater supply or from the Unit's auxiliary steam supply. The supply valves will automatically open by any one of the following five signals.

1) Safety Injection (SI)

2) Low-Low Level in any of the three SGs

3) Loss of both feedwater pumps under normal operating conditions.

4) Bus Stripping

a. Loss of voltage on either the A or B 4.16 KV bus.

b. Degraded voltage on one 480V load center (instantaneous) coincident with safety injection and the diesel generator breaker open.

c. Degraded voltage on one 480V load center (delayed) coincident with the diesel generator breaker open

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Page 3of19

5) Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) Mitigating System Actuating Circuitry (AMSAC) signal.

The analyses for loss of normal feedwater and loss of non-emergency AC power conclude that the AFW system provides sufficient heat removal capability to prevent reactor coolant inventory relief through the Pressurizer power-operated relief valves or the code-safety valves. For each event, the worst single active failure is assumed to occur in the AFW system, resulting in the availability of only one AFW pump supplying three steam generators.

2.1.2 ESFAS System The ESFAS system measures temperatures, pressures, flows, and levels in the reactor coolant, steam, reactor containment and auxiliary systems, actuates the engineered safety features, and monitors their operation. Process variables required on a continuous basis for the startup, operation, and shutdown of the Units are indicated, recorded and controlled from the Control Room. The quantity and types of process instrumentation provided ensures safe and orderly operation of all systems and processes over the full operating range of the Units.

The ESFAS systems are actuated by the ESFAS actuation channels. Each coincidence network energizes an ESFAS actuation device that operates the associated engineered safety features equipment, motor starters and valve operators. The channels are* designed to combine redundant sensors, and independent channel circuitry, coincident trip logic and different parameter measurements so that a safe and reliable system is provided in which a single failure will not defeat the channel function. The ESFAS instrumentation actuates (depending on the severity of the condition) the safety injection, containment isolation, emergency containment cooling and the containment spray systems.

Regarding the ESFAS functions 'AFW actuation on Bus Stripping' and 'AFW actuation on Trip of all MFW Pump Breakers', there are two AFW auto-start channels per nuclear Unit. For AFW actuation on Bus Stripping, each 4.16 kV bus has one associated sequencer and each sequencer actuates one AFW auto-start channel. Hence there is one AFW actuation on Bus Stripping channel per applicable 4.16 kV bus (1/bus). Upon loss of voltage to either 4.16 kV bus, the associated sequencer will initiate bus stripping and AFW auto-start. For AFW actuation on Trip of All MFW Pump Breakers, there are two MFW pumps per nuclear Unit, each powered by a 4.16kV breaker and each with one Control Room control switch. Since each MFW Pump breaker and control switch circuit has but one input into each AFW auto-start channel, there is one 'AFW actuation on Trip of all MFW Pump Breakers' channel per operating pump breaker (1/breaker/operating pump). A MFW pump breaker in the tripped position inputs into the AFW auto-start circuitry such that AFW is initiated upon trip of the second operating pump. If only one MFW Pump is running, trip of its associated breaker will initiate AFW. If both MFW Pump breakers are intentionally opened, (pumps stopped) the circuitry defeats the 'AFW actuation on Trip of All MFW Pump Breakers' function.

2.1.3 AMSAC System Title 10 CFR 50.62 requires that all pressurized water reactors have backup equipment, diverse from the Reactor Protection System (RPS), to automatically initiate the AFW system and turbine trip under conditions indicative of an Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) event.

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Page 4of19 The requirement has been satisfied by the addition of AMSAC, which in addition to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.62 to automatically initiate the AFW system and trip the turbine, will trip the reactor. AMSAC serves as non-safety related a backup protective system to the RPS by preventing over-pressurization of the Reactor Coolant System, conserve SG inventory, and insert the reactor control rods following an ATWS event. AMSAC is initiated when low steam generator level is sensed and the RPS fails to respond with an automatic reactor trip. The output signals from AMSAC generate turbine trip, reactor trip and AFW initiation.

For operation at full-power conditions, the two most limiting RCS overpressure ATWS transients from the Westinghouse generic ATWS analyses, loss of normal feedwater and loss of load, were analyzed. The analyses concluded that the peak primary system pressure following an ATWS event remains below the acceptance limit and that the AMSAC meets the requirements of 10 CFR 50.62.

2.2 Description of the Proposed Change TS 3/4.3.2, ESFAS Instrumentation, provides the Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO), ACTION(s) and Surveillance Requirements (SRs) for the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 ESFAS instrumentation. ESFAS function FU 6, AFW, of Table 3.3-2, specifies the Total Number of Channels, Channels to Trip, Minimum Channels Operable, Applicable Modes and ACTION(s) for AFW auto-start instrumentation FU 6(d), Bus Stripping, and FU 6(e), Trip of all MFW Pump Breakers.

With the number of OPERABLE FU 6(d) or FU 6(e) channels one less than the Minimum Channels Operable requirement, Table 3.3-2 of TS 3/4.3.2 invokes ACTION 23. ACTION 23 requires compliance with TS 3.0.3 whereby the commencement of a Unit shutdown must begin within one-hour.

The proposed change modifies ACTION 23 of Table 3.3-2 by establishing a 48-hour completion time for restoring an inoperable FU 6(d) or FU 6(e) AFW auto-start instrument channel to OPERABLE status.

The proposed change is as indicated below:

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Modify TS ACTION for Inoperable FU 6(d), Bus Stripping. Channel The proposed change modifies ACTION 23 of Table 3.3-2, ESFAS Instrumentation, to establish a 48-hour completion time for restoring AFW auto-start instrument channel, FU 6(d}, Bus Stripping, to OPERBLE status.

The emergency power distribution system response to an undervoltage signal is controlled by load sequencers which initiate bus stripping action on the affected 4.16 kV and associated 480V load centers. The following ESFAS functions provide protection against a loss of non-emergency power:

Reactor trip on low-low water level in any steam generator

Three turbine-driven AFW pumps started on any of the following:

1) Low-Low Level in Steam Generator

2) Any Safety Injection signal

3) Loss of offsite power (automatic transfer to diesel generators).

4) Loss of "A" or "B" 4.16 kV bus on either Unit

5) Trip of all MFW pumps on either Unit

6) Manual actuation Per Turkey Point accident analyses, the sequence of events that follow a loss of non-emergency power credit AFW flow ninety-five seconds after a reactor trip triggered by low-low SG water level. In the case of ATWS, AFW flow is credited after AMSAC initiation triggered by low SG water level. As such, the loss of normal power transient does not rely upon AFW auto-start on Bus Stripping as the primary success path for postulated accident mitigation as defined in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii). AFW auto-start on Bus Stripping will not preclude SG water levels from reaching the SIG low-low level set point value for tripping the reactor or otherwise activating AMSAC. The FU 6(d) function, Bus Stripping, is an anticipatory ESFAS function neither credited in accident analyses nor relied upon for safe shutdown or accident mitigation.

ACTION 23 of TS 3.3.2, Table 3.3-2 requires that with the number of OPERABLE FU 6(d) channels one less than the minimum channels OPERABLE requirement, the station must comply with TS 3.0.3. The station has just one FU 6(d) channel for each applicable safety-related bus and as such, loss of a FU 6(d) channel on either bus requires the commencement of a shutdown on the applicable Unit within one-hour. Since the primary success path for safe shutdown and accident mitigation is provided by the SG low-low level signal, loss of the anticipatory ESFAS/AFW actuation function, FU 6(d), does not place the plant in an unanalyzed condition and therefore, a Unit shutdown should not be required. Unit shutdown for an inoperable ESFAS function that is neither relied upon for accident mitigation nor credited in accident analyses places an unreasonable burden on plant personnel and equipment.

Modifying ACTION 23 to provide for a 48-hour completion time for an inoperable FU 6(d) instrument channel would not alter the manner in which the instrumentation and controls are operated. The subject AFW actuation instrumentation would continue to be

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Page 6of19 maintained in accordance with station surveillance frequency control and maintenance program procedures such that the existing defense in depth and diversity described in the Turkey Point Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) would remain unchanged.

In summary, the proposed change revises the requirement for an immediate Unit shutdown for the loss of a FU 6(d) channel by establishing a 48-hour completion time to restore the instrument channel to OPERABLE status. Unit shutdown for the loss of an anticipatory ESFAS function that is neither relied on for accident mitigation nor credited in accident analyses is unreasonable. Establishing a 48-hour completion time to restore the anticipatory ESFAS function does not place the plant in an unanalyzed condition. The FU 6(d) instrumentation and controls will continue to be operated and maintained in their present manner. As such, the proposed change to establish a 48-hour completion time to restore an inoperable FU 6(d}, Bus Stripping; channel is reasonable.

3.2 Modify TS ACTION for Inoperable FU 6(e). Trip of All MFW Pump Breakers. Channel The proposed change modifies ACTION 23 of Table 3.3-2, ESFAS Instrumentation, to establish a 48-hour completion time for restoring AFW actuation instrument channel, FU 6(e}, Trip of All MFW Pump Breakers, to OPERBLE status.

A trip of all MFW pumps is an indication of the need for some method of decay heat and sensible heat removal to bring the reactor back to no-load temperature and pressure.

The following ESFAS functions provide the necessary protection against a loss of MFW:

Reactor trip on low-low water level in any steam generator

Three turbine-driven AFW pumps started on any of the following:

1) Low-Low Level in any Steam Generator

2) Any Safety Injection signal

3) Loss of offsite power (automatic transfer to diesel generators).

4) Loss of "A" or "B" 4.16 kV bus on either Unit

5) Trip of all MFW pumps on either Unit

6) Manual actuation Per Turkey Point accident analyses, the sequence of events that follow a loss of MFW conservatively credit AFW flow initiation ninety-five seconds after a reactor trip triggered by low-low SG water level. In the case of ATWS, AFW flow is credited ninety-five seconds after AMSAC initiation triggered by low SG water level. As such, neither limiting events rely on a loss of MFW signal as the primary success path for postulated accident mitigation as defined by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii}, Criterion 3. AFW initiation on loss of MFW will not preclude SG water levels from reaching the SIG low-low level set point value for tripping the reactor or otherwise activating AMSAC. The FU 6(e) function, Loss of All MFW Pump Breakers, is an anticipatory ESFAS function neither credited in accide~t analyses nor relied on for safe shutdown and accident mitigation.

ACTION 23 of TS 3.3.2, Table 3.3-2 requires that with the number of OPERABLE FU 6(e) channels one less than the minimum channels OPERABLE requirement, the station must comply with TS 3.0.3. The station has but one AFW auto-start on Trip of MFW Pump Breakers channel for each MFW pump and as such, loss of a FU 6(e) channel on either MFW pump requires the commencement of a shutdown on the applicable Unit within one-hour. Since the primary success path for safe shutdown and accident mitigation is provided by the SG low-low level signal, loss of the anticipatory ESFAS/AFW actuation function does not place the plant in an unanalyzed condition and therefore, an immediate Unit shutdown should riot be required. Unit shutdown for an inoperable

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure

\ Docket Nos. 50-:-250 and 50-251 Page 7of19 ESFAS function that is neither relied upon for accident mitigation nor credited in accident analyses places an unreasonable burden on plant personnel and equipment.

Modifying ACTION 23 to provide for a 48-hour completion time for an inoperable FU 6(e) instrument channel would not alter the manner in which the instrumentation and controls are operated. The subject AFW actuation instrumentation would continue to be maintained in accordance with station surveillance frequency control and maintenance program procedures such that the existing defense in depth and diversity described in the Turkey Point Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) would remain unchanged.

In summary, the proposed change relieves the burden of commencing an immediate Unit shutdown for the loss of FU 6(e) channel by establishing a 48-hour completion time to restore the instrument channel to OPERBLE status. Unit shutdown for the loss of an anticipatory ESFAS function that is neither relied upon for accident mitigation nor credited in accident analyses is unreasonable. Establishing a 48-hour completion time to restore the anticipatory ESFAS function does not place the plant in an unanalyzed condition.

The FU 6(e) instrumentation and controls will continue to be operated and maintained in their present manner. As such, the proposed change to establish a 48-hour completion time to restore an inoperable FU 6(e}, Loss of All MFW Pump Breakers, channel is reasonable.

4.0 REGULATORY SAFETY ANALYSIS 4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria

1) 10 CFR 50.36, Technical Specifications, requires the establishment of an LCO for any structure, system or component (SSC) satisfying the criteria of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).

2) 1967 NRC Proposed General Design Criteria 15 states that protection systems shall be provided for sensing accident situations and initiating the operation of necessary engineered safety features.

3) 1967 NRC Proposed GDC 20 states that the redundancy and independence designed into protection systems shall be sufficient to assure that rio single failure on removal from service of any component or channel of such a system will result in loss of the protection function. The redundancy provided shall include, as a minimum, two channels of protection for each protection function to be served.

4) 1967 NRC Proposed GDC 23 states that the effects of adverse conditions to which redundant channels or protection systems might be exposed in common, either under normal conditions or those of an accident, shall not result in loss of the protection function or shall be tolerable on some other basis.

5) 1967 NRC Proposed GDC 38 states that all engineered safety features shall be designed to provide such functional reliability and ready testability as is necessary to avoid undue risk to the health and safety of the public.

6) 1967 NRC Proposed GDC 41 states that engineered safety features, such as the emergency core cooling system and the containment heat removal system, shall provide sufficient performance capability to accommodate the failure of any single active component without resulting in undue risk to the health and safety of the public.

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Page 8of19

7) 1967 NRC Proposed GDC 42 states that engineered safety features shall be designed so that the capability of these features to perform their required function is not impaired by the effects* of a loss-of-coolant accident to the extent of causing undue risk to the health and safety of the public.

8) 1967 NRC Proposed GDC 43, states that protection against any action of the engineered safety features which would accentuate significantly the adverse after-effects of a loss of normal cooling shall be provided.

The proposed change complies with the requirements of 10 50.36(c)(2)(ii) and does not alter the manner in which the ESFAS functions are operated and maintained, consistent with 1967 Proposed GDCs 15, 20, 23, 38, 41, 42 and 43. Therefore, all applicable regulatory requirements will continue to be satisfied as a result of this proposed change.

4.2 Precedents The following precedents establish a basis for the proposed changes.

1) Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 - Issuance of Exigent Amendment Regarding Revision to Technical Specifications for Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation, dated July 10, 2015. (Reference 6.1)

In Reference 6.1, the licensee proposed modifying Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP)

Unit 1 TS 3.3.2, Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation, to add a new TS condition for one or more inoperable AFW auto-start on Trip of All MFW Pumps channels. The licensee explained that the CNP Unit 1 TS addressed a single inoperable MFW pump trip channel but because Unit 1 had two channels per MFW pump, failure of both channels subjected the station to TS 3.0.3, i.e. Unit shutdown. The licensee proposed a 48-hour completion time for one or more inoperable MFW pump trip channels on Unit 1 noting that in addition to being an anticipatory function, a 48-hour completion time was allowed on Unit 2 which had but one MFW pump trip channel per MFW pump. The licensee argued that the loss of both anticipatory trip channels on Unit 1 would not place the UniLin an unanalyzed condition, and therefore, entry into TS 3.0.3 should not be required.

In Reference 6.2, the staff granted the licensee's request to amend the CNP Unit 1 TS, noting amongst other conclusions, that the AFW auto-start on Trip of All MFW Pumps function was an anticipatory function and that the proposed completion time of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months to restore one or more inoperable anticipatory trip channels was acceptable.

The staff's action is relevant to this license amendment request (LAR) because in Reference 6.2, the staff acknowledged the adequacy of a 48-hour completion time for restoring an anticipatory AFW actuation channel for a system with only one AFW actuation channel per applicable SSC. The Turkey Point TS requires entry into TS 3.0.3 for a single inoperable FU 6(d), Bus Stripping, or FU 6(e), Trip of All MFW Pump Breakers, channel, both of which support anticipatory AFW actuation functions. The proposed change modifies TS ACTION 23 by establishing a 48-hour completion time for an inoperable FU 6(d) or FU 6(e) channel, consistent with the CNP Unit 1 license amendment.

2) Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 1 - Technical Specification (TS) Change No.

08-07, Auxiliary Feedwater Auto-Start on Trip of the Turbine Driven Main Feedwater Pumps, dated September 18, 2008. (Reference 6.3)

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Page 9 of 19 In Reference 6.3, the licensee proposed modifying Mode 1 and 2 applicability for Function 6(e) of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 1 TS, Table 3.3.2-1, Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Instrumentation, and revising LCO 3.3.2, Condition J, to establish a 48-hour completion time for one or more inoperable MFW pump trip channels. In proposing to modify Condition J, the licensee noted that the AFW auto-start on loss of MFW function was anticipatory and that the plant had only one such MFW pump trip channel per MFW pump.

In Reference 6.4, the staff granted the licensee's request acknowledging that the AFW auto-start on loss of all MFW pump function was an anticipatory function and concluding that both MFW pumps' trip channels must be declared OPERABLE within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months of entering *Condition J or be in Mode 3 in accordance with Required Action J.2.

The staff's action is relevant to this LAR because in Reference 6.4, the staff acknowledged the adequacy of a 48-hour completion time for restoring an anticipatory ESFAS actuation signal for a system with only one anticipatory ESFAS actuation channel per applicable SSC. The Turkey Point TS requires entry into TS 3.0.3 for a single inoperable FU 6(d}, Bus Stripping, or FU 6(e), Trip of All MFW Pump Breakers, channel, both of which support anticipatory ESFAS/AFWactuation functions. The proposed change modifies TS ACTION 23 by establishing a 48-hour completion time for an inoperable FU 6(d) or FU 6(e) channel, consistent with the WBN Unit 1 license amendment.

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration FPL has evaluated whether a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, Issuance of amendment, as discussed below.

1) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed change modifies ACTION 23.of TS 3.3.2, Table 3.3-2, to establish a 48-hour completion time for restoring two anticipatory ESFAS functions. The instrumentation associated with the proposed changes are not initiators of any accident previously evaluated, so the probability of accidents previously evaluated is unaffected.* The proposed changes will not impact assumptions or conditions previously used in the radiological consequence evaluations. The subject ESFAS functions are not relied upon for accident mitigation and thus the proposed changes cannot affect the radiological consequences. The proposed changes will not impact any plant systems such that previously analyzed SSCs would be more likely to fail. The subject ESFAS functions will continue to be maintained and operated in a manner consistent with their intended function.

The proposed changes do not adversely affect the protective and mitigative capabilities of the plant. The offsite and Control Room doses will continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 100, 10 CFR 50.67, and 10 CFR 50 Appendix A. Therefore, the proposed changes do not result in a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Page 10of19

2) Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed change modifies the TS ACTION for two restoring anticipatory ESFAS functions. No new or different interactions with safety-related SSCs are created by the proposed change. The proposed changes will not introduce failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident initiators not already considered in the design and licensing bases. The subject ESFAS functions will continue to be operated and maintained such that the possibility of a new or different type of equipment malfunction is not created. No new accident scenarios, transient precursors, or limiting single failures are introduced as a result of the proposed changes. Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed change modifies the TS ACTION for restoring two anticipatory ESFAS functions. The subject ESFAS functions are not relied upon for accident mitigation and are not credited in design bases accident analyses. Hence fhe proposed changes cannot alter any safety analyses assumptions, safety limits, limiting safety system settings, or methods of operating the plant. The proposed changes do not adversely impact plant operating margins or the reliability of equipment credited in the safety analyses. No changes in the methods, values or limits of a safety related function or accident analysis result from the proposed changes. Therefore, the proposed changes would not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

Based on the above, FPL concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(b), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

FPL has evaluated the proposed ,amendment for environmental considerations. The review has determined that the proposed amendment would neither change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, nor an inspection or surveillance requirement. Additionally, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set for in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2016-233, Enclosure Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Page 11 of 19 Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Item 5 of Table 3.3-2 requires that two trains of feedwater isolation actuation logic and relays be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2 and 3 .

Operability requ ires:

Isolation of both the normal feedwater branch and the bypass branch lines through automatic closure of the main feedwater and main feedwater bypass flow control valves (FCV) or automatic closure of the feedwater isolation valves (FIV) during a safety injection actuation signal or high-high steam generator water level signal , and

Two independent trains of Automatic Actuation Logic and actuation relays.

In the event that maintenance and/or in-service testing is required on a feedwater regulating valve in Mode 1 , 2 and 3, the above requirements can be met by closing the isolation valve upstream of the affected feedwater regulating valve, administratively controlling the position of the isolation valve , and controlling feedwater flow with an OPERABLE feedwater regulating valve (main or bypass).
