St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Docket No. 50-335 and 50-389 Proposed License Amendments Relocation of Selected Technical S ecification Re uirements Related to Instrumentation and NRC Generic Letter 93-07 Line-Item Technical S ecification Im rovement ATTACHMENT2 SAFETY ANALYSIS Relocation of Selected Technical Specification Requirements Related to Insbumentation Introduction The staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a Final Policy Statement on Technical Specification Improvement for Nuclear Power Reactors, 58 FR 39132, July 22, 1993.

The purpose of this policy statement was to focus the Technical Specifications on those requirements that are of controlling importance to operational safety by screening each Technical Specification using the criteria provided in the Policy Statement.

The criteria are intended to identify requirements derived from the analyses and evaluations included in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) that are of immediate concern to the health and safety of the public. Technical Specifications that meet one or more of the criteria must be retained.

Those Technical Specifications that do not meet any of the criteria may be proposed for removal from the Technical Specifications.

The selected Technical Specification Monitoring Instrumentation contained in this amendment do not meet any of the four Policy Statement criteria and will be relocated to the UFSAR.

Relocating these Technical Specification requirements to the UFSAR will ensure the control of future changes are under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

Discussion A review of the four criteria as they relate to the proposed changes to St. Lucie Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specification Sections 3/4.3.3.4, 3/4.3.3.10 and their associated

bases, and Unit 2 Technical Specification Sections 3/4.3.3.8, 3/4.3.4 and their associated bases are discussed below:

1.

TS 3/4.3.3.4:

Delete the Meteorological Instrumentation TS and Bases Criterion 1: Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Justification:

The Meteorological Instruments are designed to provide a meteorological data base for use in planning of radioactive effluent releases and as a means of estimating the potential radiological consequences of hypothetical accidents. These instruments are not installed for, nor are they capable of, detecting reactor coolant leakage.

Therefore, the Meteorological Instruments are not used to detect a significant abnormal degradation ofthe reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Criterion 2: A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either 'assumes the failure of, or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Justification: Parameters measured by these instruments do not represent process variables which are controlled during power operation to ensure that process values remain within the analysis bounds.

The Meteorological Instrumentation system contains no active design features, nor does it require any operating restrictions, for the purpose of precluding unanalyzed accidents and transients.

Therefore, initial conditions assumed in the Design Basis Accident and Transient Analyses evaluated in the PSL1 and PSL2 UFSARs do not involve the Meteorological Instrumentation.

Criterion 3: A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Justification:

The Meteorological Instrumentation does not contain any structures, sub-systems, or components that would be needed to function or actuate for the purpose of mitigating the consequences of a Design Basis Accident.

Therefore, this instrument system is not part of a primary success path for the St. Lucie plant response to an accident.

Criterion 4: A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic safety assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.

Justification:

These instruments cannot be used to predict, prevent, or mitigate the consequences of Design Basis Accident.

Consequently, the Meteorological Instrumentation would not be included among the structures,

systems, and components typically evaluated in a probabilistic safety assessment to determine constraints of prime importance in limiting the likelihood or the severity of accident sequences that are commonly found to dominate risk. For these reasons, the Meteorological Instrumentation TS requirements proposed for relocation to the UFSARs are considered not significant to the protection of public health and safety.

2.

TS 3/4.3.3.10:

Delete the Explosive Gas Monitoring Instrumentation TS and Bases Criterion 1: Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Justification:

The Explosive Gas MonitoringInstrumentation is designed to detect the formation of potentially explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen in the Gaseous Waste Management System (GWMS),

Once detected, the remainder of the GWMS functions to preclude the formation ofpotentially explosive mixtures by an extensive combination of design features.

The Explosive Gas Monitoring Instrumentation is not installed for, nor is it capable of, detecting

reactor coolant leakage.

Therefore, the Explosive Gas Monitoring Instruments are not used to detect a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Criterion 2: A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either assumes the failure of, or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Justification Parameters measured by these instruments do not represent process variables which are controlled during power operation to ensure that process values remain within the analysis

'bounds.

The Explosive Gas Monitoring Instrumentation contains no active design features, nor does it require any operating restrictions, for the purpose ofprecluding unanalyzed accidents and transients.

Therefore, initial conditions assumed in the Design Basis Accident and Transient Analyses evaluated in the PSLl and PSL2 UFSARs do not involve the Explosive Gas Monitoring Instrumentation.

Criterion 3: A structure, system, or component that is part ofthe primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

I~us ification: The Explosive Gas Monitoring Instrumentation does not contain any structures, sub-systems, or components that would be needed to function or actuate for the purpose of mitigating the consequences of a Design Basis Accident.

Therefore, this instrument system is not part of a primary success path for the St. Lucie plant response to an accident.

~Cri erion 4: A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic safety assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.

Justification:

These instruments cannot be used to predict, prevent, or mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident. Consequently, the Explosive Gas Monitoring Instrumentation would not be included among the structures,

systems, and components typically evaluated in a probabilistic safety assessment to determine constraints of prime importance in limiting the likelihood or the severity of accident sequences that are commonly found to dominate risk. For these

reasons, the Explosive Gas Monitoring Instrumentation TS requirements proposed for relocation to the UFSAR are considered not significant to the protection of public health and safety.

3.

TS 3/4.3.3.8 Delete the Loose-Part Detection Instrumentation TS and Bases Criterion I: Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Justification The Loose-Part Detection Instrumentation is designed to detect loose parts in the Reactor Coolant System.

These instruments are not installed for, nor are they capable of,

detecting reactor coolant leakage.

Therefore, the Loose-Part Detection Instruments are not used to detect a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Criterion 2: A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either assumes the failure of, or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Justification: Parameters measured by these instruments do not represent process variables which are controlled during power operation to ensure that process values remain within the analysis bounds.

The Loose-Part Detection Instrumentation contains no active design features, nor does it require any operating restrictions, for the purpose of precluding unanalyzed accidents and transients.

Therefore, initial conditions assumed in the Design Basis Accident and Transient Analyses evaluated in the PSLl and PSL2 UFSARs do not involve the Loose-Part Detection Instrumentation.

Criterion 3: A structure, system, or component that is part ofthe primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Justification:

The Loose-Part Detection Instrumentation does not contain any structures, sub-systems, or components that would be needed to function or actuate for the purpose ofmitigating the consequences of a Design Basis Accident.

Therefore, this instrument system is not part of a primary success path for the St. Lucie plant response to an accident.

Criterion 4: A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic safety assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.

Justification:

These instruments cannot be used to predict, prevent, or mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident.

Consequently, the Loose-Part Detection Instrumentation would not be included among the structures, systems, and components typically evaluated in a probabilistic safety assessment to determine constraints of prime importance in limiting the likelihood or the severity of accident sequences that are commonly found to dominate risk. For these reasons, the Loose-Part Detection Instrumentation TS requirements proposed for relocation to the UFSARs are considered not significant to the protection of public health and safety.

4.

TS 3/4.3.4:

Delete the Turbine Overspeed Protection TS and Bases Criterion 1: Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Justification:

The Turbine Overspeed Protection system is designed to protect the unit generation set from damage.

This system is not installed for, nor is it capable of, detecting reactor coolant

leakage.

Therefore, the Turbine Overspeed Protection system is not used to detect a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.

Criterion 2: A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either assumes the failure of, or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

Justification Parameters measured by this system are not associated with process variables which are controlled during power operation to ensure that process values remain within the analysis bounds.

The Turbine Overspeed Protection system contains no active design features, nor does it require any operating restrictions, for the purpose of precluding unanalyzed accidents and transients.

Therefore, initial conditions assumed in the Design Basis Accident and Transient Analyses evaluated in the PSL2 UFSAR do not involve the Turbine Overspeed Protection system.

Criterion 3: A structure, system, or component that is part ofthe primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a Design Basis Accident or Transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.

~Justifies ion:

The Turbine Overspeed Protection system does not contain any structures, sub-systems, or components that would be needed to function or actuate for the purpose ofmitigating the consequences of a Design Basis Accident.

Therefore, this instrument system is not part of a primary success path for the St. Lucie plant response to an accident.

Criterion 4: A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic safety assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.

Justification:

Operability and surveillance requirements for the Turbine Overspeed Protection system ensures that the system will function to protect the generation set at St. Lucie from damage.

The NRC concluded in the Unit 2 Safety Evaluation Report, NUREG-0843 Supplement 1, dated December 1981 that the total turbine missile risk from high and low trajectory missiles for the St. Lucie Unit 2 design is acceptably low so that the plant structure,

system, and components important to safety are adequately protected against potential turbine missiles.

Consequently, the Turbine Overspeed Protection system has been shown to not be significant to public health and safety by probabilistic safety assessment.

For this reason, the Turbine Overspeed Protection TS requirements proposed for relocation to the UFSAR are considered not significant to the protection of public health and safety.

Summarur The selected Technical Specification Monitoring Instrumentation contained in this amendment do not meet any of the four Policy Statement criteria and will be relocated to the UFSAR.

Relocating these Technical Specification requirements to the UFSAR will ensure the control of future changes are under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

FPL will submit the revised UFSARs in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e) requirements.

NRC Generic Letter 93-07 Line-Item Technical Specification Impiuvement Introduction The NRC issued Generic Letter 93-07, "Modification of the Technical Specification Administrative Requirements for Emergency and Security Plans" on December 28, 1993.

This Generic Letter was issued to provide guidance to licensees to remove the audit of the Emergency Plan, Security Plan and implementing procedures from the list of responsibilities of the company nuclear audit and review group.

10 CFR 50.92 states that no significant hazards considerations are involved ifthe operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Each standard is discussed as follows:

(1)

Operation of the facilityin accordance with the proposed amendments would not involve a significant incrr.ase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed changes to the Selected Technical Specification Requirements Related to Instrumentation are administrative in nature in that the specifications for operation and surveillance ofthe selected Technical Specification instrumentation willbe relocated from Appendix A of the facility operating license to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) for each unit.

Once relocated, future changes will be controlled by 10 CFR 50.59 and the UFSARs updated pursuant to 10 CFR 50.71(e).

Relocation of these requirements to the UFSAR is consistent with the NRC "Final Policy Statement on Technical Specifications Improvements for Nuclear Power Reactors" published in the Federal Register (58 FR 39132) dated July 22, 1993.

The selected Technical Specification instruments are not accident initiators nor a part of the success path(s) which function to mitigate accidents evaluated in the plant safety analyses.

The proposed Technical Specification change does not involve any change to the configuration or method of operation of any plant equipment that is used to mitigate the consequences of an accident, nor do the changes alter any assumptions or conditions in any of the plant accident analyses.

Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The Technical Specifications changes associated with Emergency Plan and Security Plan requirements are proposed in accordance with Generic Letter 93-07.

The changes being proposed are administrative in nature and do not affect assumptions contained in plant safety analyses, the physical design and/or operation of the plant, nor do they affect Technical Specifications that preserve safety analysis assumptions.

Therefore, operation

of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not affect the probability or consequences of an accident previously analyzed.

(2)

Use of the modified specification would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

The proposed amendment to relocate the existing Technical Specification requirements for selected Technical Specification instrumentation to the UFSAR will not change the physical plant or the modes of plant operation defined in the Facility License.

The change does not involve the addition or modification of equipment nor does it alter the design or operation of plant systems.

Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

The proposed amendments, in accordance with Generic Letter 93-07, change the Technical Specifications to remove the audit of the emergency and security plans and implementing procedures from the list of responsibilities of the Facility Review Group.

The changes being proposed are administrative in nature and willnot change the physical plant or the modes of operation defined in the Facility License.

The change does not involve the addition or modification of equipment nor does it alter the design or operation of plant systems.

Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

(3)

Use of the modified specification would not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The proposed changes are administrative in nature in that operating and surveillance requirements for the selected Technical Specification instrumentation will be relocated from Appendix A of the facility license to the appropriate Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for each unit.

These selected instruments are not used to actuate safety-related equipment, provide interlocks, or otherwise perform plant control functions.

Conditions evaluated in plant accident and transient analyses do not involve these selected instruments.

The proposed changes do not alter the basis for any technical specification that is related to the establishment of, or the maintenance of, a nuclear safety margin.

Therefore, operation ofthe facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The proposed amendments, in accordance with Generic Letter 93-07, change the Technical Specifications to remove the audit of the emergency and security plans and implementing procedures from the list of responsibilities of the Facility Review Group.

The changes being proposed are administrative in nature and do not alter the bases for assurance that safety-related activities are performed correctly or the basis for any Technical Specification that is related to the establishment of or maintenance of a safety

margin. Therefore, operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, we have determined that the proposed amendments do not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, (2) create the probability of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated, or (3) 'involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety; and therefore do not involve a significant hazards consideration.
