AGENDA ITEMS FOR BROWS FERRY RETS MEETING 1.
We have reviewed the Tech Specs as submitted by the licensee.
We have marked it up, retaining the licensees format, but in some cases changing wording and tables to make them conform to contents of NUREG-0473, Rev. 2.
The reason we have done this is because this wording has been agreed upon by NRC headquarters personnel and ISE inspectors in the field.
Specific changes made may require discussion in following conversations.
2.
In 3.2..K state that the applicability for the gas monitors is as shown in the Tables 3.2.K/4.2.K.
'E 3.
Add'the following monitors to Tables 3.2.K/4.2.K:
a.
flow rate and sampler flow rate b.
hydrogen monitors in offgas,treatment system (OGTS) c.
SJAE radiation monitor d.
OGTS exhaust monitor e.
drvwell purge monitor 4.
Provide simple flow diagram showing major gaseous effluent paths from the plant (i.e.,
OGTS, reactor, turbine; radwaste and drywell vents, mech vac
- pump,
=uel pool area, and gland seal exhaust).
5.
, It appears that the stack monitor has little monitoring capabi'.-ty.
If so, delete from Tables 3.2.K/4.2.K.
However, if it is deleted ind"c'o that this will not result in unmonitored releases.
6.
In Table 4.2.K for the channel functional test, indicate why -.here is no alarm on circuit failure or not set in operate mode.
2 7.
In 3.8.A.l and 3.8.8.1 the action upon exceeding 10CFR20 should be to imme-diately restore concentrations to within the limits.
8.
In 6.7.3.C.2,.indicate whether downstream water use can be for drinking.
If not, delete parentheses.
9.
In 3.8.A.3 and 3.8.8.5, use the OPERABILITY specification from NUREG-0473.
10.
Add service water system monitor to 3.8.A.4.
Il.
In 3.8.A.4, indicate if there is a flow monitor on the discharge canal.
12.
In 3.8.A.4, indicate monitors on tanks located outside plant buildings.
13.
In 3.8.AA, indicate what the channel functional test will demonstrate for the liquid waste and service water system monitors.
Surveillance test should
~
be performed per Table 4.8.A.2 added to the specification.
14.
In 3.8.B.4, ind'cate that the offgas treatment system will be in operation whenever the m-in condenser air ejector system is in operation per NUREG-0473.
15.
Add the following to the specification as per NUREG-0473:
a.
maximum curie level in outdoor tanks b.
explosion prevention is OGTS c.
maximum uCi/sec noble gas release rate to OGTS d.
drywell purge e.
solid waste system 16.
What is 'the purpose of 3.8.D - doesn't the mech vac pump exhaust get monitored7
