3.8 REFUELING Ap licabilit Applies,to..qperating limitations during refueling.-

operations.

To ensure that no.incident could occur during refueling 3.8.1 operations that would affect public health and safety.

During refueling operations the following conditions shall be satisfied.

a.

The equipment door> or a closure plate that restricts air flow from the containment, and at least one personnel door in the equipment door or closure plate and in the personnel air lock shall be properly closed.

In additionr all automatic containment isolation valves shall be operable or at least one valve in each line shall be locked closed.

b.

C ~

Radiation levels in the containment shall be monitored continuously.

Core subcritical neutron flux shall be con-tinuously monitored by at least two source range neutron monitors, each with continuous visual in-dication in the control room and one with audible indication in the containment and control room available whenever core geometry is being changed.

When core geometry is not being changed at 3.8-1 Amendment t)0.

provided on the lifting hoist to prevent movement of more than one fuel assembly at a time.

The spent fuel transfer mechanism can accommodate only one fuel assembly at a time.

In addition interlocks on the auxiliary building crane will prevent the trolley from being moved over stored racks containing spent fuel.

The operability requirements for residual heat removal loops will ensure adequate heat removal while in the refueling mode.

The requirement for 23 feet of water above the reactor vessel flange while handling fuel and fuel components in containment is consistent with the assumptions of the fuel handling accident 1

analysis.

(4)

The analysis for a fuel handling accident inside.containment 5

'stablishes acceptable offsite limiting doses following rupture of all rods of an assembly operated at peak power.

No credit is taken for containment isolation or effluent filtration prior to release.

Requiring closure of the containment openings and penetrations establishes additional margin for the fuel handling accident and establishes a seismic envelope to protect against seismic events during refueling.
