Enclosure 1 to NRC-17-0067 Fermi 2 NRC Docket No. 50-341 Operating License No. NPF-43 License Amendment Request to Adopt TSTF-542, "Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control" Description and Assessment to NRC-17-0067 Page 1 Description and Assessment of the Proposed License Amendment 1.0 Description The proposed change replaces existing Technical Specifications (TS) requirements related to "operations which have the potential for draining the reactor vessel" (OPDRVs) with new requirements on Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control (RPV WIC) to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3. Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 requires reactor vessel water level to be greater than the top of active irradiated fuel.
2.0 Assessment 2.1 Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation DTE Electric Company (DTE) has reviewed the safety evaluation provided to the Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) on December 20, 2016, as well as the information provided in TSTF-542. DTE has concluded that the justifications presented in TSTF-542 and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to Fermi 2 and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to the Fermi 2 TS.
The following Fermi 2 TS reference OPDRVs or are related to OPDRVs and are affected by the proposed change:
3.3.5.1, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Instrumentation 3.3.6.1, Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation 3.3.6.2, Secondary Containment Isolation Instrumentation 3.3.7.1, Control Room Emergency Filtration (CREF) System Instrumentation 3.5.2, ECCS - Shutdown 3.6.1.3, Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs) 3.6.4.1, Secondary Containment 3.6.4.2, Secondary Containment Isolation Valves (SCIVs) 3.6.4.3, Standby Gas Treatment (SGT) System 3.7.3, Control Room Emergency Filtration (CREF) System 3.7.4, Control Center Air Conditioning (AC) System 3.8.2, AC Sources - Shutdown 3.8.5, DC Sources - Shutdown 3.8.8, Distribution Systems - Shutdown 2.2 Variations DTE is proposing the following variations from the TS changes described in the TSTF-542 or the applicable parts of the NRC staffs safety evaluation. These variations do not affect the applicability of TSTF-542 or the NRC staff's safety evaluation to the proposed license amendment.
to NRC-17-0067 Page 2 DTE proposes to implement the RPV WIC Instrumentation specification as TS 3.3.5.3 and not renumber the existing TS 3.3.5.2, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) System Instrumentation.
In a few instances, the Fermi 2 TS utilize different numbering and titles than the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) on which TSTF-542 was based. Specifically, the titles for the following Fermi 2 TS vary from the STS discussed in TSTF-542. These differences are administrative and do not affect the applicability of TSTF-542 to the Fermi 2 TS.
- 1. Fermi 2 TS 3.3.7.1, Control Room Emergency Filtration (CREF) System Instrumentation, corresponds to STS 3.3.7.1, Main Control Room Environmental Control System Instrumentation.
- 2. Fermi 2 TS 3.7.3, Control Room Emergency Filtration (CREF) System, corresponds to STS 3.7.4, Main Control Room Environmental Control System.
- 3. Fermi 2 TS 3.7.4, Control Center Air Conditioning (AC) System, corresponds to STS 3.7.5, Control Room Air Conditioning (AC) System.
- 4. Fermi 2 TS 3.8.8, Distribution Systems - Shutdown, corresponds to STS 3.8.10, Distribution Systems - Shutdown.
The Fermi 2 TS contain a Note in Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.5.2.5 regarding realignment to the Low Pressure Coolant Injection mode which is similar to the Note in the STS LCO 3.5.2.
Fermi 2 proposes to move Note 1 from SR 3.5.2.5 to the LCO for 3.5.2. This has no effect on the adoption of the TSTF-542 and is an acceptable variation.
The Fermi 2 TS contain a Surveillance Frequency Control Program. Therefore, the Surveillance Requirement Frequencies for Specification 3.5.2 and 3.3.5.3 are "In accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program." This has no effect on the adoption of the TSTF-542 and is an acceptable variation.
Fermi 2 TS Table 3.3.5.1-1 Footnote (a) and Table 3.3.6.1-1 Footnote (c) are deleted as part of TSTF-542. DTE proposes to delete the footnotes and replace with Not Used. This eliminates the administrative need to update all subsequent footnotes in the table, has no effect on the adoption of TSTF-542, and is an acceptable variation.
DTE proposes to add a closed parenthesis to the title of Fermi 2 TS 3.6.4.2, Secondary Containment Isolation Valves (SCIVs). This is an administrative change and has no effect on the adoption of TSTF-542.
The Fermi 2 TS contain the following requirements that differ from the STS on which TSTF-542 was based, but are encompassed in the TSTF-542 justification:
- 1. The proposed Fermi 2 TS 3.3.5.3, Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Water Inventory Control Instrumentation, Table 3.3.5.3-1 does not include functions corresponding to STS Table 3.3.5.1-1, Function 1.d, Core Spray Pump Discharge Flow - Low, and to NRC-17-0067 Page 3 Function 2.g, Low Pressure Coolant Injection Pump Discharge Flow - Low, since the Fermi TS do not currently contain these functions in TS Table 3.3.5.1-1.
- 2. Fermi 2 Table 3.3.5.1-1, Function 2.d, Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Low, Level 2 (Loop Select Logic), and Function 2.e, Reactor Steam Dome Pressure - Low (Break Detection Logic), are not included in the STS Table 3.3.5.1-1. Function 2.d and 2.e enable and initiate LPCI loop select logic. The logic then has time to detect a broken recirculation loop and select the unbroken recirculation loop for LPCI injection. TSTF-542 states that if there are plant-specific design and TS that provide different automatic functions that can be credited for isolating penetrations flow paths below the top of active fuel on low RPV water level, that those functions should be included in the RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation TS (Fermi 2 proposed TS 3.3.5.3). Function 2.d and 2.e are automatic functions for enabling LPCI loop select logic and do not meet the criteria stated in TSTF-542 for inclusion in the proposed TS Table 3.3.5.3-1.
Correspondingly, the existing Mode 4 and Mode 5 requirements for TS Table 3.3.5.1-1 Function 2.d and 2.e are removed, consistent with TSTF-542 justification.
- 3. The required channels per function in Fermi 2 TS Table 3.3.5.1-1, Function 1.d, Manual Initiation of the Core Spray system and 2.h, Manual Initiation of the LPCI system, are modified by a footnote stating, Individual Component Controls. The footnote is retained for the manual initiation functions of Core Spray System and LPCI system in the proposed TS Table 3.3.5.3-1, RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation as footnote (c) consistent with the current Fermi 2 TS requirements.
- 4. The Fermi 2 TS Bases LCO 3.5.2 definition of an ECCS subsystem for Core Spray and LCPI is updated to be consistent with the STS Bases LCO 3.5.2 definition as one motor driven pump, piping, and valves to transfer water to the RPV, as discussed and justified by TSTF-542.
- 5. Fermi 2 TS 3.3.5.1 does not include a condition corresponding to STS 3.3.5.1 Condition E; therefore, the proposed changes by TSTF-542 to STS 3.3.5.1 Condition E are not applicable to Fermi 2.
- 6. TSTF-542 inadvertently omitted the corresponding TS Bases markup for the deletion of TS 3.3.6.1 Required Action J.2 regarding actions to isolate RHR shutdown cooling.
Fermi 2 TS Bases changes are made consistent with this TS change.
- 7. Fermi 2 TS Table 3.3.6.2-1 Function 3, Fuel Pool Ventilation Exhaust Radiation -
High is equivalent to STS Table 3.3.6.2-1 Function 4, Refueling Floor Exhaust Radiation - High. In addition, Fermi 2 TS Table 3.3.6.2-1 does not have a function corresponding to STS Table 3.3.6.2-1 Function 3.
- 8. Fermi 2 TS Table 3.3.7.1-1 Function 3, Fuel Pool Ventilation Exhaust Radiation -
High is equivalent to STS Table 3.3.7.1-1 Function 4, Refueling Floor Area Radiation
- High and Fermi 2 TS Table 3.3.7.1-1 Function 4, Control Center Normal Makeup Air Radiation - High is equivalent to STS Table 3.3.7.1-1 Function 5, Control Room Air Inlet Radiation - High.
- 9. Fermi 2 TS currently have TS SR 3.5.2.3, which is not included in STS. The TS SR is renumbered to SR 3.5.2.4 and all subsequent TS SRs 3.5.2.5 through 3.5.2.9 are incremented by one compared to TSTF-542.
- 10. Fermi 2 TS 3.6.1.3 Action F.1 is to initiate action to isolate RHR-Shutdown Cooling System. This action differs slightly from STS 3.6.1.3 Action H.1 to initiate action to to NRC-17-0067 Page 4 suspend OPDRVs; however, both actions direct immediate action to isolate PCIVs to prevent inadvertent draindown. Therefore, Fermi 2 TS 3.6.1.3 Action F.1 is removed consistent with the TSTF-542 justification.
- 11. Fermi 2 TS 3.6.4.1 Condition D and Required Action D.2 correspond to STS TS 3.6.4.1 Condition C and Required Action C.2; and therefore, the changes proposed to Fermi 2 TS 3.6.4.1 Condition D and Required Action D.2 are consistent with TSTF-542 justification.
- 12. The Fermi 2 CREF and the Control Center AC systems (i.e., TS 3.7.3 and 3.7.4 respectively) provide Control Room habitability functions. Changes to the TS controls on these systems are justified by the discussion in Section 3.4.3 of the TSTF-542 justification. Specifically, these Fermi 2 specific systems provide similar Control Room habitability functions as those described in the STS, and changes to these TS are similarly justified.
- 13. The Fermi 2 TS Section 3.7.3 for the CREF System retains the existing Note, renumbered to Note 2, in the Actions section modifying Required Action F.2. This change has no effect on the adoption of the TSTF-542 and is an acceptable variation.
- 14. Fermi 2 TS 3.8.5 Required Action A.2.3 corresponds to STS TS 3.8.5 Required Action B.2.3; and therefore, the change proposed to Fermi 2 TS 3.8.5 Required Action A.2.3 is consistent with TSTF-542 justification.
- 15. Fermi 2 TS do not include TS corresponding to STS 3.8.8, Inverters - Shutdown and therefore the changes proposed by TSTF-542 to STS 3.8.8 are not applicable to Fermi 2.
DTEs proposed variations from the TS changes described in the TSTF-542 or the applicable parts of the NRC staffs safety evaluation do not affect the applicability of TSTF-542 or the NRC staff's safety evaluation to the proposed license amendment.
3.0 Regulatory Analysis 3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Analysis DTE requests adoption of TSTF-542 "Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control," which is an approved change to the STS, into the Fermi 2 TS. The proposed amendment replaces the existing requirements in the TS related to OPDRVs with new requirements on RPV WIC to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3. Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 requires reactor vessel water level to be greater than the top of active irradiated fuel.
DTE has evaluated whether or not 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 to NRC-17-0067 Page 5 The proposed change replaces existing TS requirements related to OPDRVs with new requirements on RPV WIC that will protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3. Draining of RPV water inventory in Mode 4 (i.e., cold shutdown) and Mode 5 (i.e., refueling) is not an accident previously evaluated and, therefore, replacing the existing TS controls to prevent or mitigate such an event with a new set of controls has no effect on any accident previously evaluated. RPV water inventory control in Mode 4 or Mode 5 is not an initiator of any accident previously evaluated. The existing OPDRV controls or the proposed RPV WIC controls are not mitigating actions assumed in any accident previously evaluated.
The proposed change reduces the probability of an unexpected draining event (which is not a previously evaluated accident) by imposing new requirements on the limiting time in which an unexpected draining event could result in the reactor vessel water level dropping to the top of the active fuel (TAF). These controls require cognizance of the plant configuration and control of configurations with unacceptably short drain times.
These requirements reduce the probability of an unexpected draining event. The current TS requirements are only mitigating actions and impose no requirements that reduce the probability of an unexpected draining event.
The proposed change reduces the consequences of an unexpected draining event (which is not a previously evaluated accident) by requiring an Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) subsystem to be operable at all times in Modes 4 and 5. The current TS requirements do not require any water injection systems, ECCS or otherwise, to be Operable in certain conditions in Mode 5. The change in requirement from two ECCS subsystems to one ECCS subsystem in Modes 4 and 5 does not significantly affect the consequences of an unexpected draining event because the proposed Actions ensure equipment is available within the limiting drain time that is as capable of mitigating the event as the current requirements. The proposed controls provide escalating compensatory measures to be established as calculated drain times decrease, such as verification of a second method of water injection and additional confirmations that containment and/or filtration would be available if needed.
The proposed change reduces or eliminates some requirements that were determined to be unnecessary to manage the consequences of an unexpected draining event, such as automatic initiation of an ECCS subsystem and control room ventilation. These changes do not affect the consequences of any accident previously evaluated since a draining event in Modes 4 and 5 is not a previously evaluated accident and the requirements are not needed to adequately respond to a draining event.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
to NRC-17-0067 Page 6
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change replaces existing TS requirements related to OPDRVs with new requirements on RPV WIC that will protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3. The proposed change will not alter the design function of the equipment involved. Under the proposed change, some systems that are currently required to be operable during OPDRVs would be required to be available within the limiting drain time or to be in service depending on the limiting drain time. Should those systems be unable to be placed into service, the consequences are no different than if those systems were unable to perform their function under the current TS requirements.
The event of concern under the current requirements and the proposed change is an unexpected draining event. The proposed change does not create new failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident initiators that would cause a draining event or a new or different kind of accident not previously evaluated or included in the design and licensing bases.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The proposed change replaces existing TS requirements related to OPDRVs with new requirements on RPV WIC. The current requirements do not have a stated safety basis and no margin of safety is established in the licensing basis. The safety basis for the new requirements is to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3. New requirements are added to determine the limiting time in which the RPV water inventory could drain to the top of the active fuel in the reactor vessel should an unexpected draining event occur. Plant configurations that could result in lowering the RPV water level to the TAF within one hour are now prohibited. New escalating compensatory measures based on the limiting drain time replace the current controls. The proposed TS establish a safety margin by providing defense-in-depth to ensure that the Safety Limit is protected and to protect the public health and safety. While some less restrictive requirements are proposed for plant configurations with long calculated drain times, the overall effect of the change is to improve plant safety and to add safety margin.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
to NRC-17-0067 Page 7 Based on the above, DTE concludes that the proposed change presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
4.0 Environmental Evaluation The proposed change would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed change does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed change meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed change.

FERMI - UNIT 2 1.1-3 Amendment No. 134
INSERT DRAIN TIME Definition DRAIN TIME The DRAIN TIME is the time it would take for the water inventory in and above the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) to drain to the top of the active fuel (TAF) seated in the RPV assuming:
a) The water inventory above the TAF is divided by the limiting drain rate; b) The limiting drain rate is the larger of the drain rate through a single penetration flow path with the highest flow rate, or the sum of the drain rates through multiple penetration flow paths susceptible to a common mode failure (e.g., seismic event, loss of normal power, single human error), for all penetration flow paths below the TAF except:
- 1. Penetration flow paths connected to an intact closed system, or isolated by manual or automatic valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the closed position, blank flanges, or other devices that prevent flow of reactor coolant through the penetration flow paths; or

Core Spray and Low Pressure Coolant Injection Systems l.a. 2.a. Reactor Vessel Water Level-Low Low Low. Level 1 Low reactor pressure vessel (RPV) water level indicates that the capability to cool the fuel may be threatened. Should RPV water level decrease too far, fuel damage could result.
The low pressure ECCS and associated EDGs are initiated at Level 1 to ensure that core spray and flooding functions are available to prevent or minimize fuel damage. The Reactor Vessel Water Level -Low Low Low, Level 1 is one of the Functions assumed to be OPERABLE and capable of initiating the ECCS during the transients analyzed in Reference 2. In addition, the Reactor Vessel Water Level -Low Low Low, Level 1 Function is directly assumed in the analysis of the recirculation line break (Ref. 1). The core cooling function of the ECCS, along with the scram action of the Reactor Protection System (RPS), ensures that the fuel peak cladding temperature remains below the limits of 10 CFR 50.46.
Reactor Vessel Water Level -Low Low Low, Level 1 signals are initiated from four level transmitters that sense the difference between the pressure due to a constant column of water (reference leg) and the pressure due to the actual water level (variable leg) in the vessel.
The Reactor Vessel Water Level- Low Low Low, Level 1 Allowable Value is chosen to allow time for the low pressure core flooding systems to activate and provide adequate cooling.
Four channels of Reactor Vessel Water Level -Low Low Low, InModes1,2,and 3, Level 1 Function are only required to be OPERABLE when the refer C r EDG(s) are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that no single rument failure can preclude ECCS and EDG ,

The core cooling function of the ECCS, along with the scram action of the RPS, ensures that the fuel peak cladding temperature remains below the limits of 10 CFR 50.46.
The Reactor Steam Dome Pressure-Low signals are initiated from four pressure transmitters that sense the reactor dome pressure.
The Allowable Value is low enough to prevent overpressuring the equipment in the low pressure ECCS, but high enough to ensure that the ECCS injection prevents the fuel peak cladding temperature from exceeding the limits of 10 CFR 50.46.

1.d. 2.h. Manual Initiation The Manual Initiation channel provides manual initiation capability by means of individual component controls. There is one manual initiation channel for each of the CS and LPCI subsystems (i.e., two for CS and two for LPCI).
The Manual Initiation Function is not assumed in any accident or transient analyses in the UFSAR. However, the Function is retained for overall redundancy and diversity of the low pressure ECCS function as required by the NRC in the plant licensing basis.
There is no Allowable Value for this Function since the channels are mechanically actuated based solely on the position of the individual components. Each channel of the Manual Initiation Function is only required to be OPERABLE when the associated ECCS is required to be OPERABL -Refer-to LCO 3.5.1-and-L6-.-& for Applicability Base or the '

ECCS Instrumentation B 3.3.5.1 BASES APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES, LCO, and APPLICABILITY (continued) 2.d Reactor Vessel Water Level--Low Low Level 2 (Loop Selection Logic)
LPCI Loop selection logic is initiated on decreasing RPV water level at level 2. This gives the logic time to detect the broken recirculation loop and select the unbroken recirculation loop for LPCI injection. The LPCI pumps are initiated at level 1.
Reactor Vessel Water Level -Low Low, Level 2 signals are initiated from four level transmitters that sense the difference between the pressure due to a constant column of water (reference leg) and the pressure due to the actual water level (variable leg) in the vessel. The transmitter signals feed trip units whose outputs drive relays. Output contacts of the relays are configured in a one-out-of-two taken twice initiation logic.
The same instrumentation and relay logic is used for HPCI initiation (Function 3a). That system's design basis establishes the Allowable Value while accounting for measurement uncertainties. LPC1 loop selection initiation is not directly assumed by any safety or transient analysis, but is required to function to support the LPCI system, which is assumed to function in the accident analysis per LCO 3.5.1,- f. 1) .
Four channels ired to be OPERABLE whenever LPCI is required to be OPERAB to ensure that no single instrument failure can preclude LPCI initiation.
2.e. Reactor Steam Dome Pressure-Low (Break Detection Logic)
This function is provided in the LPCI break detection logic.
If only one recirculation pump is running, the logic trips that pump in order to obtain a meaningful measurement of recirculation riser differential pressure (Function 2.f).
Reactor Steam Dome Pressure-Low inhibits the break detection logic from acting on the value of riser differential pressure until reactor pressure has fallen below the set point due to the pump trip. This allows the logic to identify the broken recirculation loop. Although this function is not directly assumed by the safety analysis, it is required for the LPCI loop selection logic, FERMI - UNIT 2 B 3.3.5.1-11 Revision 0

Reactor Steam Dome Pressure-Low signals are initiated from four pressure transmitters that sense reactor steam dome pressure. The Allowable Value was selected, allowing for measurement uncertainties, to give adequate time, based on reactor pressure decrease following RPT, for an accurate riser differential pressure measurement to be made. The logic for this Function is one-out-of-two taken twice.
per LCO 3.5.1, Four channels of Reactor Steam Dome Pressure -Low are required to be OPERABLE when LPCI is required to be OPERABLE to ensure that no single instrument failure can preclude LPCI injection.
2.f. Riser Differential Pressure-High (Break Detection)
The LPCI break detection logic determines which recirculation loop is broken by comparing the pressure of the two recirculation loops. The broken loop will indicate a lower pressure than the unbroken loop. The loop with the higher pressure is then used for LPCI injection. If both pressures are the same, loop B is selected by default.
Riser Differential Pressure-High signals are initiated from four differential pressure transmitters that sense the difference between corresponding recirculation loop riser pipes. Logic is one-out-of-two taken twice.
The Riser Differential Pressure-High Allowable Value is selected, allowing for measurement uncertainties, based on the analytical limit of 1.0 psid between corresponding risers.
Four channels of Riser Differential Pressure-High are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that no single instrument failure prevents LPCI injection into the unbroken riser loop and support the LPCI function.

ECCS Instrumentation B 3.3.5.1 BASES APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES, LCO, and APPLICABILITY (continued) 3.c. Reactor Vessel Water Level -High, Level 8 High RPV water level indicates that sufficient cooling water inventory exists in the reactor vessel such that there is no danger to the fuel. Therefore, the Level 8 signal is used to trip the HPCI turbine to prevent overflow into the main steam lines (MSLs). The Reactor Vessel Water Level-High, Level 8 Function is not assumed in the accident and transient analyses. It was retained since it is a potentially significant contributor to risk.
Reactor Vessel Water Level -High, Level 8 signals for HPCI are initiated from two level transmitters from the wide' range water level measurement instrumentation. Both Level 8 signals are required in order to trip the HPCI turbine.
This ensures that no single instrument failure can preclude HPCI initiation. The Reactor Vessel Water Level -High, Level 8 Allowable Value is chosen to prevent flow from the HPCI System from overflowing into the MSLs.
Two channels of Reactor Vessel Water Level -High, Level 8 Function are required to be OPERABLE only when HPCI is required to be OPERABLE. Refer to LCO 3.5. D for HPCI Applicability Bases.
3.d. Condensate Storage Tank Level -Low Low level in the CST indicates the unavailability of an adequate supply of makeup water from this normal source.
Normally the suction valves between HPCI and the CST are open and, upon receiving a HPCI initiation signal, water for HPCI injection would be taken from the CST. However, if the water level in the CST falls below a preselected level, first the suppression pool suction valves automatically open, and then the CST suction valve automatically closes.
This ensures that an adequate supply of makeup water is available to the HPCI pump. To prevent losing suction to the pump, the suction valves are interlocked so that the suppression pool suction valves must be open before the CST suction valve automatically closes. The Function is implicitly assumed in the accident and transient analyses (which take credit for HPCI) since the analyses assume that the HPCI suction source is the suppression pool.

Alternately, if it is not desired to place the channel in trip (e.g., as in the case where placing the inoperable channel in trip would result in an initiation), Condition G must be entered and its Required Action taken.
C.1 and C.2 Required Action C.1 is intended to ensure that appropriate actions are taken if multiple, inoperable channels within the same Function result in redundant automatic initiation capability being lost for the feature(s). Required Action C.1 features would be those that are initiated by Functions 1.c, 2.c, 2.e, and 2.f (i.e., low pressure ECCS).
Redundant automatic initiation capability is lost if either, (a) two Function l.c channels are inoperable in the same trip system, (b) two Function 2.c channels are inoperable in the same trip system, (c) two Function 2.e channels are inoperable in the same trip system, or (d) two or more Function 2.f channels are inoperable.

Since each inoperable channel would have Required Action C.1 applied separately (refer to ACTIONS Note), each inoperable channel would only require the affected portion of the associated system to be declared inoperable. However, since channels for both low pressure ECCS subsystems are inoperable (e.g.,
both CS subsystems), and the Completion Times started concurrently for the channels in both subsystems, this results in the affected portions in both subsystems being concurrently declared inoperable.

Required Action C.1 is not applicable to Functions 1.d, 2.h, and 3.f (which also require entry into this Condition if a channel in these Functions is inoperable), since they are the Manual Initiation Functions and are not assumed in any accident or transient analysis.

Required Action C.1 is also not applicable to Function 3.c (which also requires entry into this Condition if a channel in this Function is inoperable), since the loss of one channel results in a loss of the Function (two-out-of-two logic).

NEW TS 3.3.5.3 Bases RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation B 3.3.5.3 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.5.3 Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Water Inventory Control Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND The RPV contains penetrations below the top of the active fuel (TAF) that have the potential to drain the reactor coolant inventory to below the TAF. If the water level should drop below the TAF, the ability to remove decay heat is reduced, which could lead to elevated cladding temperatures and clad perforation. Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 requires the RPV water level to be above the top of the active irradiated fuel at all times to prevent such elevated cladding temperatures.
Technical Specifications are required by 10 CFR 50.36 to include limiting safety system settings (LSSS) for variables that have significant safety functions. LSSS are defined by the regulation as "Where a LSSS is specified for a variable on which a safety limit has been placed, the setting must be chosen so that automatic protective actions will correct the abnormal situation before a Safety Limit (SL) is exceeded." The Analytical Limit is the limit of the process variable at which a safety action is initiated to ensure that a SL is not exceeded. Any automatic protection action that occurs on reaching the Analytical Limit therefore ensures that the SL is not exceeded. However, in practice, the actual settings for automatic protection channels must be chosen to be more conservative than the Analytical Limit to account for instrument loop uncertainties related to the setting at which the automatic protective action would actually occur. The actual settings for the automatic isolation channels are the same as those established for the same functions in MODES 1, 2, and 3 in LCO 3.3.5.1, "Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Instrumentation," or LCO 3.3.6.1, "Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation."
With the unit in MODE 4 or 5, RPV water inventory control is not required to mitigate any events or accidents evaluated in the safety analyses. RPV water inventory control is required in MODES 4 and 5 to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and the fuel cladding barrier to prevent the release of radioactive material should a draining event occur. Under the definition of DRAIN TIME, some penetration flow paths may be excluded from the DRAIN TIME calculation if they will be isolated by valves that will close automatically without offsite power prior to the RPV water level being equal to the TAF when actuated by RPV water level isolation instrumentation.
The purpose of the RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation is to support the requirements of LCO 3.5.2, Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV)
Water Inventory Control, and the definition of DRAIN TIME. There are functions that are required for manual initiation or operation of the ECCS injection/spray subsystem required to be OPERABLE by LCO 3.5.2 and other functions that support automatic isolation of Residual Heat Removal subsystem and Reactor Water Cleanup system penetration flow path(s) on low RPV water level.
The RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation supports operation of core spray (CS) and low pressure coolant injection (LPCI). The equipment involved with each of these systems is described in the Bases for LCO 3.5.2.

NEW TS 3.3.5.3 Bases RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation B 3.3.5.3 BASES APPLICABLE With the unit in MODE 4 or 5, RPV water inventory control is not required SAFETY to mitigate any events or accidents evaluated in the safety analyses.
ANALYSES, LCO, RPV water inventory control is required in MODES 4 and 5 to protect and APPLICABILITY Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and the fuel cladding barrier to prevent the release of radioactive material should a draining event occur.
A double-ended guillotine break of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is not postulated in MODES 4 and 5 due to the reduced RCS pressure, reduced piping stresses, and ductile piping systems. Instead, an event is postulated in which a single operator error or initiating event allows draining of the RPV water inventory through a single penetration flow path with the highest flow rate, or the sum of the drain rates through multiple penetration flow paths susceptible to a common mode failure (e.g., seismic event, loss of normal power, single human error). It is assumed, based on engineering judgment, that while in MODES 4 and 5, one low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem can be manually initiated to maintain adequate reactor vessel water level.
As discussed in References 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, operating experience has shown RPV water inventory to be significant to public health and safety.
Therefore, RPV Water Inventory Control satisfies Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
Permissive and interlock setpoints are generally considered as nominal values without regard to measurement accuracy.
The specific Applicable Safety Analyses, LCO, and Applicability discussions are listed below on a Function by Function basis.
Core Spray and Low Pressure Coolant Injection Systems 1.a, 2.a. Reactor Steam Dome Pressure - Low (Injection Permissive)
Low reactor steam dome pressure signals are used as permissives for the low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem manual injection functions. This function ensures that, prior to opening the injection valves of the low pressure ECCS subsystems, the reactor pressure has fallen to a value below these subsystems' maximum design pressure.
While it is assured during MODES 4 and 5 that the reactor steam dome pressure will be below the ECCS maximum design pressure, the Reactor Steam Dome Pressure - Low signals are assumed to be OPERABLE and capable of permitting initiation of the ECCS.
The Reactor Steam Dome Pressure - Low signals are initiated from four pressure transmitters that sense the reactor dome pressure. The transmitters are connected to four trip units. The outputs of the trip units are connected to relays whose contacts are arranged in a one-out-of-two taken twice logic.

The Allowable Value is low enough to prevent overpressuring the equipment in the low pressure ECCS.
The four channels of Reactor Steam Dome Pressure - Low Function are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5 when ECCS manual initiation is required to be OPERABLE by LCO 3.5.2.
1.b, 2.b. Manual Initiation The Manual Initiation channel provides manual initiation capability by means of individual component controls. There is one manual initiation channel for each of the CS and LPCI subsystems (i.e., four for CS and four for LPCI).
The Manual Initiation Function is not assumed in any accident or transient analyses in the UFSAR. However, the Function is retained for overall redundancy and diversity of the low pressure ECCS function as required by the NRC in the plant licensing basis.
There is no Allowable Value for this Function since the channels are mechanically actuated based solely on the position of the individual components. Each channel of the Manual Initiation Function is only required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5 when the associated ECCS subsystems are required to be OPERABLE per LCO 3.5.2.

NEW TS 3.3.5.3 Bases RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation B 3.3.5.3 BASES ACTIONS A Note has been provided to modify the ACTIONS related to RPV Water Inventory Control instrumentation channels. Section 1.3, Completion Times, specifies that once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition discovered to be inoperable or not within limits will not result in separate entry into the Condition. Section 1.3 also specifies that Required Actions continue to apply for each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition. However, the Required Actions for inoperable RPV Water Inventory Control instrumentation channels provide appropriate compensatory measures for separate inoperable Condition entry for each inoperable RPV Water Inventory Control instrumentation channel.
A.1 Required Action A.1 directs entry into the appropriate Condition referenced in Table 3.3.5.3-1. The applicable Condition referenced in the Table is Function dependent. Each time a channel is discovered inoperable, Condition A is entered for that channel and provides for transfer to the appropriate subsequent Condition.
B.1 and B.2 RHR System Isolation, Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Level 3, and Reactor Water Cleanup System, Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Low, Level 2 functions are applicable when automatic isolation of the associated penetration flow path is credited in calculating DRAIN TIME.
If the instrumentation is inoperable, Required Action B.1 directs an immediate declaration that the associated penetration flow path(s) are incapable of automatic isolation. Required Action B.2 directs calculation of DRAIN TIME. The calculation cannot credit automatic isolation of the affected penetration flow paths.
C.1 Low reactor steam dome pressure signals are used as permissives for the low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem manual injection functions. If the permissive is inoperable, manual initiation of ECCS is prohibited. Therefore, the permissive must be placed in the trip condition within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. With the permissive in the trip condition, manual initiation may be performed. Prior to placing the permissive in the tripped condition, the operator can take manual control of the pump and the injection valve to inject water into the RPV.

D.1 There is a risk that the associated low pressure ECCS pump could overheat when the pump is operating and the associated injection valve is not fully open. In this condition, the operator can take manual control of the pump and the injection valve to ensure the pump does not overheat. If a manual initiation function is inoperable, the ECCS subsystem pumps can be started manually and the valves can be opened manually, but this is not the preferred condition.

The Completion Time is appropriate given the ability to manually start the ECCS pumps and open the injection valves and to manually ensure the pump does not overheat.
E.1 With the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition C or D not met, the associated low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem may be incapable of performing the intended function, and must be declared inoperable immediately.
SURVEILLANCE As noted in the beginning of the SRs, the SRs for each RPV Water REQUIREMENTS Inventory Control instrument Function are found in the SRs column of Table 3.3.5.3-1.
SR 3.3.5.3.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK ensures that a gross failure of instrumentation has not occurred. A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels. It is based on the assumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should read approximately the same value. Significant deviations between the instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or something even more serious. A CHANNEL CHECK guarantees that undetected outright channel failure is limited; thus, it is key to verifying the instrumentation continues to operate properly between each CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST.
Agreement criteria are determined by the plant staff, based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties, including indication and readability. If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the instrument has drifted outside its limit.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channels during normal operational use of the displays associated with the channels required by the LCO.
SR 3.3.5.3.2 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed on each required channel to ensure that the entire channel will perform the intended function. A successful test of the required contact(s) of a channel relay may be performed by the verification of the change of state of a single contact of the relay. This clarifies what is an acceptable CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST of a relay. This is acceptable because all of the other required contacts of the relay are verified by other Technical Specifications and non-Technical Specifications tests.
Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with the assumptions of the current plant specific setpoint methodology.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.3.5.3.3 The LOGIC SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL TEST demonstrates the OPERABILITY of the required initiation logic for a specific channel. The system functional testing performed in LCO 3.5.2 overlaps this Surveillance to complete testing of the assumed safety function.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

Reactor Vessel Water Level-Low, Level 3 Low RPV water level indicates that the capability to cool the fuel may be threatened. Should RPV water level decrease too far, fuel damage could result. Therefore, isolation of some reactor vessel interfaces occurs to begin isolating the potential sources of a break. The Reactor Vessel Water Level-Low, Level 3 Function associated with RHR Shutdown Cooling System isolation is not directly assumed in safety analyses because a break of the RHR Shutdown Cooling System is bounded by breaks of the recirculation and MSL.

ECCS -Operating RPV WATER INVENTORY CONTROL, B 3.5.1 B 3.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS (ECCS /AND REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING (RCIC) SYSTEM B 3.5.1 ECCS-Operating BASES BACKGROUND The ECCS is designed, in conjunction with the primary and secondary containment, to limit the release of radioactive materials to the environment following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The ECCS uses two independent methods (flooding and spraying) to cool the core during a LOCA. The ECCS network consists of the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System, the Core Spray (CS) System, the low pressure coolant injection (LPCI) mode of the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System, and the Automatic Depressurization System (ADS). The suppression pool provides the required source of water for the ECCS. Although no credit is taken in the safety analyses for the condensate storage tank (CST), it is capable of providing a source of water for the HPCI and CS systems.
On receipt of an initiation signal, ECCS pumps automatically start; simultaneously, the system aligns and the pumps inject water, taken either from the CST or suppression pool, into the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) as RCS pressure is overcome by the discharge pressure of the ECCS pumps.
Although the system is initiated, ADS action is delayed, allowing the operator to interrupt the timed sequence if the system is not needed. The HPCI pump discharge pressure almost immediately exceeds that of the RCS, and the pump injects coolant into the vessel to cool the core. If the break is small, the HPCI System will maintain coolant inventory as well as vessel level while the RCS is still pressurized. If HPCI fails, it is backed up by ADS in combination with LPCI and CS. In this event, the ADS timed sequence would be allowed to time out and open the selected, safety/relief valves (SRVs) depressurizing the RCS, thus allowing the LPCI and CS to overcome RCS pressure and inject coolant into the vessel. If the break is large, RCS pressure initially drops rapidly and the LPCI and CS cool the core.
In the large break DBA scenario, water from the break returns to the suppression pool where it is used again and again. Water in the suppression pool is circulated through a heat exchanger cooled by the RHR Service Water System.
Depending on the location and size of the break, portions of FERMI - UNIT 2 B 3.5.1-1 Revision 0
ECCS - Operating B 3.5.1 BASES LCO (continued)
ECCS subsystems should provide the required core cooling, thereby allowing operation of RHR shutdown cooling when necessary. The LPCI System cross-tie valves must be open to support OPERABILITY of both LPCI subsystems. Similarly, the LPCI swing bus (480 V MCC 72CF) is required to be energized to support both LPCI subsystems. Therefore, with the LPCI cross-tie valve not full open, or the LPCI swing bus not energized, both LPCI subsystems are declared inoperable.
APPLICABILITY All ECCS subsystems are required to be OPERABLE during MODES 1, 2, and 3, when there is considerable energy in the reactor core and core cooling would be required to prevent fuel damage in the event of a break in the primary system piping. In MODES 2 and 3, when reactor steam dome pressure is < 150 psig, ADS and HPCI. are not required to be OPERABLE because the low pressure ECCS subsystems ca provide sufficient flow below this pressure. EGGS quirements for MODES 4 and 5 are specified in LCO 3.5.2, ' ."
". RPV Water Inventory Control ACTIONS A Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable HPCI system. There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with an inoperable HPCI system and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which,allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, should not be applied in this circumstance.
A.1 If any one low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem is inoperable, the inoperable subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE subsystems provide adequate core cooling during a LOCA. However, overall. ECCS reliability is reduced, because a single failure in one of the remaining OPERABLE subsystems, concurrent with a LOCA, may result in the ECCS not being able to perform its intended safety function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on a.
reliability study (Ref. 12) that evaluated the impact on ECCS availability, assuming various components and subsystems were taken out of service. The results were used to calculate the average availability of ECCS equipment needed to mitigate the consequences of a LOCA as a function of allowed outage times (i:e., Completion Times).

APPLICABLE The ECCS performance is evaluate for the entire spectrum of SAFETY ANALYSES break sizes for a postulated 1 s of coolant accident (LOCA). The long term coolin analysis following a design basis LOCA (Ref. 1) demonstr tes that only one low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsy em is required, post LOCA, to maintain adequate reactor essel water level in the event of an inadvertent vessel dr indown. It is reasonable to assume, based on engin ring judgement, that while in MODES 4 and 5, one low pres ure ECCS injection/spray subsystem can maintain adequate r ctor vessel water level. To provide redundancy, a mini m of two low pressure ECCS injection/spray s systems are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5.
The low press re ECCS subsystems satisfy Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.3 c)(2)(ii).
LCO Two lo pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystems are requ' ed to be OPERABLE. The low pressure ECCS injection/
spr y subsystems consist of two CS subsystems and two LPCI s systems. Each CS subsystem consists of two motor driven mps, piping, and valves to transfer water from the suppression pool or condensate storage tank (CST) to the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). Each LPCI subsystem consists of two motor driven pumps, piping, and valves to transfer water from the suppression pool to the.RPV. In MODES 4 and 5, the RHR System cross tie valves are not required to be open provided action is taken to assure that OPERABLE LPCI subsystems are capable of injection to the reactor vessel. Management of gas voids is important to ECCS injection/spray subsystem OPERABILITY.

If the water level should drop below the TAF, the ability to remove decay heat is reduced, which could lead to elevated cladding temperatures and clad perforation. Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 requires the RPV water level to be above the top of the active irradiated fuel at all times to prevent such elevated cladding temperatures.
APPLICABLE With the unit in MODE 4 or 5, RPV water inventory control is not required to SAFETY mitigate any events or accidents evaluated in the safety analyses. RPV ANALYSES water inventory control is required in MODES 4 and 5 to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and the fuel cladding barrier to prevent the release of radioactive material to the environment should an unexpected draining event occur.
A double-ended guillotine break of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is not postulated in MODES 4 and 5 due to the reduced RCS pressure, reduced piping stresses, and ductile piping systems. Instead, an event is considered in which single operator error or initiating event allows draining of the RPV water inventory through a single penetration flow path with the highest flow rate, or the sum of the drain rates through multiple penetration flow paths susceptible to a common mode failure (e.g., seismic event, loss of normal power, single human error). It is assumed, based on engineering judgment, that while in MODES 4 and 5, one low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem can maintain adequate reactor vessel water level.
As discussed in References 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, operating experience has shown RPV water inventory to be significant to public health and safety.
Therefore, RPV Water Inventory Control satisfies Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
LCO The RPV water level must be controlled in MODES 4 and 5 to ensure that if an unexpected draining event should occur, the reactor coolant water level remains above the top of the active irradiated fuel as required by Safety Limit 2.1.1.3.
The Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) requires the DRAIN TIME of RPV water inventory to the TAF to be 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

One low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem is required to be OPERABLE and capable of being manually started to provide defense-in-depth should an unexpected draining event occur. A low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem consists of either one Core Spray (CS) subsystem or one Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) subsystem.
Each CS subsystem consists of one motor driven pump, piping, and valves to transfer water from the suppression pool or condensate storage tank (CST) to the RPV. Each LPCI subsystem consists of one motor driven pump, piping, and valves to transfer water from the suppression pool to the RPV. In MODES 4 and 5, the RHR System cross tie valve is not required to be closed.
The LCO is modified by a Note which allows a required LPCI subsystem to be considered OPERABLE during alignment and operation for decay heat removal if capable of being manually realigned (remote or local) to the LPCI mode and is not otherwise inoperable. Alignment and operation for decay heat removal includes when the required RHR pump is not operating or when the system is realigned from or to the RHR shutdown cooling mode. This allowance is necessary since the RHR System may be required to operate in the shutdown cooling mode to remove decay heat and sensible heat from the reactor. Because of the restrictions on DRAIN TIME, sufficient time will be available following an unexpected draining event to manually align and initiate LPCI subsystem operation to maintain RPV water inventory prior to the RPV water level reaching the TAF. Management of gas voids is important to ECCS injection/spray subsystem OPERABILITY.
APPLICABILITY RPV water inventory control is required in MODES 4 and 5.
Requirements on water inventory control in other MODES are contained in LCOs in Section 3.3, Instrumentation, and other LCOs in Section 3.5, ECCS, RPV Water Inventory Control, and RCIC. RPV water inventory control is required to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 which is applicable whenever irradiated fuel is in the reactor vessel.

In this Condition, the LCO controls on DRAIN TIME minimize the possibility that an unexpected draining event could necessitate the use of the ECCS injection/spray subsystem, however the defense-in-depth provided by the ECCS injection/spray subsystem is lost. The 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Completion Time for restoring the required low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem to OPERABLE status is based on engineering judgment that considers the LCO controls on DRAIN TIME and the low probability of an unexpected draining event that would result in loss of RPV water inventory.
If the inoperable ECCS injection/spray subsystem is not restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, action must be initiated immediately to establish a method of water injection capable of operating without offsite electrical power. The method of water injection includes the necessary instrumentation and controls, water sources, and pumps and valves needed to add water to the RPV or refueling cavity should an unexpected draining event occur.

Additional actions are taken to ensure that radioactive material will be contained, diluted, and processed prior to being released to the environment.
The secondary containment provides a controlled volume in which fission products can be contained, diluted, and processed prior to release to the environment. Required Action C.1 requires verification of the capability to establish the secondary containment boundary in less than the DRAIN TIME. The required verification confirms actions to establish the secondary containment boundary are preplanned and necessary materials are available.

NEW TS 3.5.2 Bases RPV Water Inventory Control B 3.5.2 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.5.2.1 REQUIREMENTS This Surveillance verifies that the DRAIN TIME of RPV water inventory to the TAF is 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The period of 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> is considered reasonable to identify and initiate action to mitigate draining of reactor coolant. Loss of RPV water inventory that would result in the RPV water level reaching the TAF in greater than 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> does not represent a significant challenge to Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and can be managed as part of normal plant operation.
The definition of DRAIN TIME states that realistic cross-sectional areas and drain rates are used in the calculation. A realistic drain rate may be determined using a single, step-wise, or integrated calculation considering the changing RPV water level during a draining event. For a Control Rod RPV penetration flow path with the Control Rod Drive Mechanism removed and not replaced with a blank flange, the realistic cross-sectional area is based on the control rod blade seated in the control rod guide tube. If the control rod blade will be raised from the penetration to adjust or verify seating of the blade, the exposed cross-sectional area of the RPV penetration flow path is used.
The definition of DRAIN TIME excludes from the calculation those penetration flow paths connected to an intact closed system, or isolated by manual or automatic valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the closed position, blank flanges, or other devices that prevent flow of reactor coolant through the penetration flow paths. A blank flange or other bolted device must be connected with a sufficient number of bolts to prevent draining in the event of an Operating Basis Earthquake. Normal or expected leakage from closed systems or past isolation devices is permitted. Determination that a system is intact and closed or isolated must consider the status of branch lines and ongoing plant maintenance and testing activities.
The Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Shutdown Cooling System is only considered an intact closed system when misalignment issues (Reference 6) have been precluded by functional valve interlocks or by isolation devices, such that redirection of RPV water out of an RHR subsystem is precluded. Further, RHR Shutdown Cooling System is only considered an intact closed system if its controls have not been transferred to Remote Shutdown, which disables the interlocks and isolation signals.
The exclusion of penetration flow paths from the determination of DRAIN TIME must consider the potential effects of a single operator error or initiating event on items supporting maintenance and testing (rigging, scaffolding, temporary shielding, piping plugs, snubber removal, freeze seals, etc.). If failure of such items could result and would cause a draining event from a closed system or between the RPV and the isolation device, the penetration flow path may not be excluded from the DRAIN TIME calculation.

NEW TS 3.5.2 Bases RPV Water Inventory Control B 3.5.2 BASES SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (continued)
Surveillance Requirement 3.0.1 requires SRs to be met between performances. Therefore, any changes in plant conditions that would change the DRAIN TIME requires that a new DRAIN TIME be determined.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.5.2.2 and SR 3.5.2.3 The minimum water level of -66 inches (9 ft 0 inches actual level) required for the suppression pool is periodically verified to ensure that the suppression pool will provide adequate net positive suction head (NPSH) for the CS subsystem or LPCI subsystem pump, recirculation volume, and vortex prevention. With the suppression pool water level less than the required limit, the required ECCS injection/spray subsystem is inoperable unless aligned to an OPERABLE CST.
When the suppression pool level is < -66 inches, the required CS System is OPERABLE only if it can take suction from the CST, and the CST water level is sufficient to provide the required NPSH for the CS pump.
Therefore, a verification that either the suppression pool water level is
-66 inches or that a required CS subsystem is aligned to take suction from the CST and the CST contains 300,000 gallons of water, equivalent to 19 ft, ensures that the CS subsystem can supply at least 150,000 gallons of makeup water to the RPV. The CS suction is uncovered at the 150,000 gallon level.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.5.2.4 The LPCI System injection valves and recirculation pump discharge valves are powered from the LPCI swing bus, which must remain energized to support OPERABILITY of any required LPCI subsystem.
Therefore, verification of proper voltage and correct breaker alignment to the swing bus is required. The correct breaker alignment ensures the appropriate electrical power sources are available, and the appropriate voltage is available to the swing bus, including verification that the swing bus is energized. The verification of proper voltage availability ensures that the required voltage is readily available for critical system loads connected to this bus.

This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, since these valves were verified to be in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing. A valve that receives an initiation signal is allowed to be in a nonaccident position provided the valve will automatically reposition in the proper stroke time. This SR does not require any testing or valve manipulation; rather, it involves verification that those valves capable of potentially being mispositioned are in the correct position. This SR does not apply to valves that cannot be inadvertently misaligned, such as check valves.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
The Note exempts system vent flow paths opened under administrative control. The administrative control should be proceduralized and include stationing a dedicated individual at the system vent flow path who is in continuous communication with the operators in the control room. This individual will have a method to rapidly close the system vent flow path if directed.
SR 3.5.2.7 Verifying that the required ECCS injection/spray subsystem can be manually started and operate for at least 10 minutes demonstrates that the subsystem is available to mitigate a draining event.

, RPV WATER INVENTORY RCIC System lCONTROL, B 3.5.3 B 3.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS (ECC AND REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING (RCIC) SYSTEM B 3.5.3 RCIC System BASES BACKGROUND The RCIC System is not part of the ECCS; however, the RCIC System is included with the ECCS section because of their similar functions.
The RCIC System is designed to operate either automatically or manually following reactor pressure vessel (RPV) isolation accompanied by a loss of coolant flow from the feedwater system to provide adequate core cooling and control of the RPV water level. Under these conditions, the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) and RCIC systems perform similar functions. The RCIC System design requirements ensure that the criteria of Reference 1 are satisfied.
The RCIC System (Ref. 2) consists of a steam driven turbine pump unit, piping, and valves to provide steam to the turbine, as well as piping and valves to transfer water from the suction source to the core via the feedwater system line, where the coolant is distributed within the RPV through the feedwater sparger. Suction piping is provided from the condensate storage tank (CST) and the suppression pool. Pump suction is normally aligned to the CST to minimize injection of suppression pool water into the RPV.
However, if the CST water supply is low, an automatic transfer to the suppression pool water source ensures a water supply for continuous operation of the RCIC System.
The steam supply to the turbine is piped from a main steam line upstream of the associated inboard main steam line isolation valve.
The RCIC System is designed to provide core cooling for a '
wide range of reactor pressures 150 psig to 1120 psig. Upon receipt of an initiation signal, the RCIC turbine accelerates to a specified speed. As the RCIC flow increases, the turbine control valve is automatically adjusted to maintain design flow. Exhaust steam from the RCIC turbine is discharged to the suppression pool. A full flow test line is provided to route water from and to the CST to allow testing of the RCIC System during normal operation without injecting water into the RPV.
FERMI - UNIT 2 B 3.5.3 -1 Revision 0
RCIC System B 3.5.3 BASES BACKGROUND (continued)
The RCIC pump is provided with a minimum flow bypass line, which discharges to the suppression pool. The valve in this line automatically opens to prevent pump damage due to overheating when other discharge line valves are closed. To ensure rapid delivery of water to the RPV and to minimize water hammer effects, the RCIC System discharge piping is kept full of water. The RCIC System is normally aligned to the CST. The height of water in the CST is sufficient to maintain the piping full of water up to the first isolation valve, The relative height of the feedwater line connection for RCIC is such that the water in the feedwater lines keeps the remaining portion of the RCIC discharge line full of water. Therefore, RCIC does not require a "keep fill" system.
APPLICABLE The function of the RCIC System is to respond to transient SAFETY ANALYSES events by providing makeup coolant to the reactor. The RCIC System is not an Engineered Safety Feature System and no credit is taken in the safety analyses for RCIC System operation. Based on its contribution to the reduction of overall plant risk, however, the system is included in the Technical Specifications, as required by 10 CFR 50.36(c) (2) (ii).
-LCO The OPERABILITY of the RCIC System provides adequate core cooling such that actuation of any of the low pressure ECCS subsystems is not required in the event of RPV isolation accompanied by a loss of feedwater flow. The RCIC System has sufficient capacity for maintaining RPV inventory during an isolation event. Management of gas voids is important to RCIC System OPERABILITY.
APPLICABILITY The RCIC System is required to be OPERABLE during MODE 1, and MODES 2 and 3 with reactor steam dome pressure
> 150 psig, since RCIC is the primary non-ECCS water source for core cooling when the reactor is isolated and pressurized, In MODES 2 and 3 with reactor steam dome pressure s 150 psi antd-fn MODES 4 and 5, RCIC is not required to be BLE since e wpeur-C-the low pressure ECCS injection/spray RPV water inventory control is required subsystems can provide sufficient flow to by LCO 3.5.2, "RPV Water Level the RPV.

If a purge or containment pressure control valve is open in violation of this SR, the valve is considered inoperable. If the inoperable valve is not otherwise known to have excessive leakage when closed, it is not considered to have leakage outside of limits. Primary containment purge and containment pressure control valves are only required to be closed in MODES 1, 2, and 3 (i.e.,
no isolation instrumentation functions of LCO 3.3.6.1 are required to be OPERABLE for isolation of these valves outside of MODES 1, 2, and 3). If a LOCA inside primary containment occurs in these MODES, the purge valves may not be capable of closing before the pressure pulse affects systems downstream of the purge valves. At other times (e.g., during handling of irradiated fuel), pressurization concerns are not present and the purge and containment pressure control valves are allowed to be open. The SR is modified by a Note stating that the SR is not required to be met when the purge or containment pressure control valves are open for the stated reasons.

Suppression Pool Water Level B 3.6.2.2 BASES APPLICABLE Initial suppression pool water level affects suppression SAFETY ANALYSES pool temperature response calculations, calculated drywell pressure during vent clearing for a DBA, calculated pool swell loads for a DBA LOCA, and calculated loads due to SRV discharges. Suppression pool water level must be maintained within the limits specified so that the safety analysis of Reference 1 remains valid.
Suppression pool water level satisfies Criteria 2 and 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
LCO A limit that suppression pool water level be z -2 inches and s +2 inches (as referenced from "zero" on the control room indicator) is required to ensure that the primary containment conditions assumed for the safety analyses are met. Either the high or low water level limits were used in the safety analyses, depending upon which is more conservative for a particular calculation.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, a DBA would cause significant loads on the primary containment. In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. The requirements for maintaining suppression pool water level within limits in MODE 4 or 5 is addressed in LCO 3.5.2, RPV Water Inventory Control ACTIONS A.1 With suppression pool water level outside the limits, the conditions assumed for the safety analyses are not met. If, water level is below the minimum level, the pressure suppression function still exists as long as main vents are covered, HPCI and RCIC turbine exhausts are covered, and SRV T-quenchers are covered. If suppression pool water level is above the maximum level, protection against '

Handling new (non-irradiated) fuel bundles over the open reactor core or the spent fuel pool is subject to the same requirements of handling recently irradiated fuel, as long as any fuel in the core or fuel pool is recently irradiated.
The secondary containment performs no active function in response to each of these limiting events; however, -its leak tightness is.required to ensure that the release of radioactive materials from the primary containment is restricted to those leakage paths and associated leakage rates assumed in the accident analysis and that fission products entrapped within the secondary containment structure will be treated by the SGT System prior to discharge to the environment.-
Secondary containment satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
LCO An OPERABLE secondary containment provides a control volume into which fission products that bypass or leak from primary containment, or are released from the reactor coolant pressure boundary components located in secondary containment, can be diluted and processed prior to release to the environment. -For the secondary containment to be considered OPERABLE, it must have adequate leak tightness to ensure that the required vacuum can be established and maintained.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, a LOCA could lead to a fission product release to primary containment that leaks to secondary containment. Therefore, secondary containment OPERABILITY is required during the same operating conditions that require primary containment OPERABILITY.
In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of the LOCA are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. Therefore, maintaining secondary containment OPERABLE is not required in MODE 4 or 5 to ensure a control volume, except for other situations for which significant releases of radioactive material can be postulated, such as duigoeain 'iha.octa Sduring movement FERMI - UNIT 2 B 3.6.4.1-2 Revision 52
Secondary Containment B 3.6.4.1 BASES ACTIONS (continued)
Remaining in the Applicability of the LCO is acceptable because the plant risk in MODE 3 is similar to or lower than the risk in MODE 4 (Ref. 3), because the time spent in MODE 3 to perform the necessary repairs to restore the system to OPERABLE status will be short. However, voluntary entry into MODE 4 may be made as it is also an acceptable low-risk state.
Required Action C.1 is modified by a Note that states that LCO 3.0,4.a is not applicable when entering MODE 3. This Note prohibits the use of LCO 3.0.4.a to enter MODE 3 during startup with the LCO not met. However, there is no restriction on the use of LCO 3.0.4.b, if applicable, because LCO 3.0.4.b requires performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering MODE 3, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate. LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable to, and the Note does not preclude, changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS or that are part of a shutdown of the unit, The allowed Completion Time is reasonable, based on

0.1 aid Movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment amd-GP9RVs can be postulated to cause significant fission product release to the secondary containment. In such cases, the secondary containment is the only barrier to release of fission products to the environment. Therefore, movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies must be immediately suspended if the secondary containment is inoperable.
Suspension of these activities shall not preclude completing an action that involves moving a component to a safe position. Ah.m FERMI - UNIT 2 8 3.6.4.1-4 Revision 59
Secondary Containment B 3.6.4.1 BASES ACTIONS (continued) has The Required Action luaai been modified by a Note stating that LCD 3.0.3 is ot applicable. If moving recently irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODE 4 or 5, LCO 3,0.3 would not specify any action. If moving recently irradiated fuel assemblies while in MODE 1, 2, or 3, the fuel movement is independent of reactor operations. Therefore, in either case, inability to suspend movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies would not be a sufficient reason to require a reactor shutdown.
SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.4.1.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR ensures that the secondary containment boundary is sufficiently leak tight to preclude exfiltration under expected wind conditions. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.6.4.1.2 and SR 3.6.4.1.3 Verifying that secondary containment equipment hatches, pressure relief doors, railroad bay access doors, and one access door in each access opening are closed ensures that the infiltration of outside air of such a magnitude as to prevent maintaining the desired negative pressure does not occur. Verifying that all such openings are closed provides adequate assurance that exfiltration from the secondary containment will not occur. In this application, the term "sealed" has no connotation of leak tightness. Maintaining secondary containment OPERABILITY requires verifying one door in each access opening is closed, An access opening contains one inner and one outer door. In some cases, secondary containment access openings are shared such that a secondary containment barrier may have multiple inner or multiple outer doors. The intent is not to breach the secondary containment at any time when secondary containment is required. This is achieved by maintaining the inner or outer portion of the barrier closed at all times. However, FERMI - UNIT 2 B 3.6.4.1-5 Revision 64

-APPLICABILITY (continued) secondary containment. Therefore, the OPERABILITY of SCIVs is.required.
In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences.of these events are reduced due to pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. Therefore, maintaining SCIVs OPERABLE is not.required in MODE 4 or 5, except for other situations under which significant radioactive releases can be postulated, such as during movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment. Moving recently irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment may also occur in MODES 1, 2, and 3. Due to radioactive decay, SCIVs are only required to be OPERABLE during fuel handling involving recently irradiated fuel. "Recently irradiated fuel" is fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within the previous 6.3 days. Handling new (non-irradiated) fuel bundles over the open reactor core or the spent fuel pool is subject to the same requirements of handling recently irradiated fuel, as long as any fuel in the core'or fuel pool is recently irradiated.
ACTIONS The ACTIONS are modified by three Notes. The first Note allows penetration flow paths to be unisolated intermittently under administrative.controls. These controls consist of stationing a dedicated operator, who is in continuous communication with the control room, at the controls of the isolation device. In this way, the penetration can be rapidly isolated when a need for secondary containment isolation is indicated.
The second Note provides clarification that for the purpose of this LCO separate Condition entry is allowed for each penetration flow path. This is acceptable, since the Required Actions for each Condition'provide appropriate compensatory actions for each inoperable SCIV. Complying with the Required Actions may allow for continued operation, and subsequent inoperable SCIVs are governed by subsequent Condition entry and-application of.associated Required

The Condition has been modified by a Note stating that Condition B is only applicable to penetration flow paths with two isolation valves. This clarifies that only Condition A is entered if one SCIV is inoperable in each of two penetrations.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.4.2.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies that each secondary containment manual isolation valve and blind flange that is not locked, sealed, or otherwise secured and is required to be closed during accident conditions is closed. The SR helps to ensure that post accident leakage of radioactive fluids or gases outside of the secondary containment boundary is within design limits. This SR does not require any testing or valve manipulation. Rather, it involves verification that those SCIVs in secondary containment that are capable of being mispositioned are in the correct position.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program. This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the closed position since these were verified to be in the correct position upon locking, sealing, or securing.
Two Notes have been added to this SR. The first Note applies to valves and blind flanges located in high radiation areas and allows them to be verified by use of administrative controls. Allowing verification by administrative controls is considered acceptable, since access to these areas is typically restricted during FERMI - UNIT 2 B 3.6.4.2-6 Revision 64

In order for the CREF subsystems to be considered OPERABLE, the CRE boundary must be maintained such that the CRE occupant dose from a large radioactive release does not exceed the calculated dose in the licensing basis consequence analyses for DBAs, and that CRE occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke.
The LCO is modified by a note allowing the CRE boundary to be opened intermittently under administrative controls.
This note only applies to openings in the CRE boundary that can be rapidly restored to the design condition such as doors, hatches, floor plugs and access panels. For entry and exit through doors, the administrative control of the opening is performed by the person(s) entering or exiting the area. For other openings, these controls should be proceduralized and consist of stationing a dedicated individual at the opening who is in continuous communication with the Operators in the CRE. This individual will have a method to rapidly close the opening and to restore the CRE boundary to a condition equivalent to the design condition when a need for CRE isolation is indicated.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the CREF System must be OPERABLE to ensure that the CRE will remain habitable during and following a DBA, since the DBA could lead to a fission product release.

Total system failure'could result in the equipment operating temperature exceeding limits.
High air temperatures and humidity caused by loss of or degradation of the Control Center AC system can also impact control room operator performance.
The Control Center AC System is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to maintain the control center temperature are OPERABLE in both subsystems.

In general, when the unit is shut down the Technical Specifications requirements ensure that'the unit has the capability to mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents. -However, assuming a single failure and concurrent loss .of all offsite or loss of all onsite power is not required. The rationale for this is based on the fact that many Design Basis Accidents (DBAs) that are '
analyzed in MODES 1.,:2, and 3 have no specific analyses i.n MODES 4 and 5. Worst case bounding events are deemed not FERMI - UNIT- 2 - B 3.8.2-1 Revision 52
AC Sources-Shutdown B 3.8.2 BASES LCO One offsite circuit capable of supplying the onsite Class 1E power distribution subsystem(s) of LCO 3.8.8, "Distribution Systems-Shutdown," ensures .that all required loads are capable of being powered from offsite power. An OPERABLE Division of onsite power, consisting of two EDGs associated with Distribution System Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) buses required OPERABLE by LCO 3.8.8, ensures that a diverse power source is available for providing electrical power support assuming a loss .of the offsite circuit. Together, OPERABILITY of the required offsite circuit and EDGs ensures the availability'of sufficient AC sources to operate the plant in a safe manner and to mitigate the consequences of postulated events during shutdown (e.g., fuel handling accidents involving recently irradiated fuel -aid-reaetee The qualified offsite circuit(s) must be capable of maintaining rated frequency and voltage while connected to their respective ESF bus(es), and of accepting required loads during an accident. Qualified offsite circuits are those that are described in the UFSAR and are part of the licensing basis for the unit. The offsite circuit consists of incoming breakers and disconnect to the station service 64 or 65 transformer, and the respective circuit path including feeder breakers to all 4.16 kV ESF buses required by LCO 3.8.8.
The required EDGs must be capable of starting, accelerating to rated speed and voltage, connecting to their respective ESF buses on detection of bus undervoltage, and accepting required loads. This sequence must be accomplished within 10 seconds. Each EDG must also be capable of accepting required loads within the assumed loading sequence intervals, and must continue to operate until offsite power can be restored to the ESF buses. These capabilities are required to be met from a variety of initial conditions such as EDG in standby with engine hot and EDG in standby with engine at ambient conditions.
Proper sequencing of loads, including tripping of
-nonessential loads, is a required function for EDG OPERABILITY.
It is acceptable for divisions to be cross tied during shutdown conditions, permitting a single offsite power circuit to supply all required divisions.

Emergency Core Cooling Systems. Since the hydrostatic or leak tests are performed nearly water solid, at low decay heat values, and near MODE 4 conditions, the stored energy in the reactor core will be very low. Under these conditions, the potential for failed fuel and a subsequent increase in coolant activity above the LCO 3.4.7, "RCS Specific Activity," limits are minimized. In addition, the secondary containment will be OPERABLE, in accordance with this Special Operations LCO, and will be capable of handling any airborne radioactivity or steam leaks that could occur during the performance of hydrostatic or leak testing. The required pressure testing conditions provide adequate assurance that the consequences of a steam leak will be conservatively bounded by the consequences of the postulated main steam line break outside of primary containment described in Reference 2. Therefore, these requirements will conservatively limit radiation releases to the unlikely i ronment. lthat could result in draininci of the RPVl In th event of;-}mere primary system lea , the r makeup vessel would rapidly depressurize'
