Dear Mr. Williams:

Reference:

SUBJECT:

CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY AMENDMENT -

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI )

By letter dated January 28, 1985 and supplemented on March 2, 1985, you proposed revisions to the Turkey Point Plant Units 3 and 4 Technical Specifications related to the containments.

The proposed amendments will allow breaching of containment integrity of an operating unit, under administrative controls, to allow performance of required surveillance testing.

Additional changes were proposed to provide consistency and clarity using the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) for Westinghouse plants as general guidance.

We are in the process of reviewing your submittal and require the information requested in the enclosure to complete our effort.

We request that this information be provided within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

If you require more time to respond, contact the Turkey Point Project Manager Mr. Daniel McDonald, (301) 492-7363, to arrange an acceptable schedule.

The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements of this letter affect fewer than ten respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under P.L.96-511.

Sincerely,

's/SAVarga Steven A. Varga, Chief Operating Reactors Branch ¹1 Division of Licensing

50-250/251 Provide the following information to support the proposed changes to the Technical Specification (T.S.) concerning containment systems:

1.

T.S.

page 1-2, Section 1.5, definition of Containment Integrity:

The proposed definition is based on the definition appearing in the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications (WSTS),

Section 1.7.

Discuss why reference to sealing the equipment hatch and reference to the operability of the sealing mechanisms associated with the penetrations were omitted in the proposed changes to the T.S.

2.

T.S.

page 3.3-1 Section 3.3. 1 Containment Integrity:

Discuss and justify the conditions under which the exception statement may be invoked.

3.

T.S.

page 3.3-1, Section 3.3.3 Containment Isolation Valves:

This section is misleading; rather than address containment isolation valves in a broad context, it narrowly focuses on the isolation times of valves that receive Phase A containment isolation, Phase B containment isolation or contai'nment ventilation isolation signals, and uses isolation time as the only criterion for valve operability.

Remote manual, local manual and check valves are not addressed, and the need to

exercise administrative control over non-automatic valves to provide assurance of containment integrity is absent.

This section should identify, with the aid of a Table, all valves provided to satisfy GDC 54-57 (including the valves associated with the secondary system penetrations),

all valves included in the Type C test program, appropriate closure times for power operated valves and justification for any necessary exceptions to accommodate related technical. specifications.

4.

T.S.

page 3.3-2, Section 3.3.4 Containment Air Locks:

Provide a basis for the proposed statement, "Each containment air lock shall be operable with both doors closed except during the performance of surveillance and/or testing requirements then at least one air lock door shall be closed."

Also it is not clear how a door will be kept closed if the inner door is the defective door.

5.

The proposed change to the T. S.

uses a format similar to Revision 5 of the WSTS, but the proposed changes do not include prov)'sirens for surbeillance requirements, or leak testing.

Propose comparable technical specifications which address surveillance requirements and leak testing requirements.
