3.2 BASES and trips the recirculation pumos.
The low reactor water level instrumentation that is set to trip when reactor water level is 17.7" (378" above vessel zero) above the top active fuel (Table 3.2.B ) initiates the LPCI, Core Spray Pumps, of'he contributes to ADS initiation, and starts the diesel generators.
These trip setting levels were chosen to be high enough to prevent spurious actuation but low enough to initiate CSCS operation so that postaccident cooling can be accomplished and the guidelines of'0 CFR 100 will not be violated. For large breaks up to the complete circumferential break of a 28-inch recirculation line and with the trip setting given above, CSCS initiation is initiated in time to meet the above criteria.
The high drywell pressure instrumentation is a diverse signal to the water level instrumentation and, in addit'on to initiating CSCS, it causes isolation of Groups 2 and 8 isolation valves. For the breaks discussed above, tPis instrumentation will initiate CSCS operation at about the same time as the low water level instrumentation; thus, the results given above are applicable here also.
Venturis are provided in the main steam lines as a means of measuring steam flow and also limiting the loss of mass inventory from the vessel during a steam line break accident. The primary function of the instrumentation is to detect a brea'k in the main steam line. For the worst case accident, main steam line break outside the drywell, a trip setting of 140$ of rated steam flow in conjunction with the flow limiters and main steam line valve closure limits the mass inventory loss such that fuel is not uncovered, fuel cladding temperatures remain below 1000oF, and release of radioactivity to the environs is well below 10 CFR 100 guidelines . Reference Section 14.6.5 FSAR.
Temperature monitoring instrumentation is provided in the main steam line tunnel to detect leaks in these areas. Trips are provided on this instrumentation and, when exceeded, cause closure of isolation valves. The setting of 200 F f'r the main steam line tunnel detector is low enough to detect leaks of the order of 15 gpm; thus,'t is capable of covering the entire spectrum of breaks. For large breaks, the high steam flow instrumentation is a backup to the temperature instrumentation.
High radiation monitors in the main steam line tunnel have been provided to detect gross fuel failure as in'the control rod drop accident. Mith the established nominal setting of 3 times normal background and main steam line isolation valve closure, fission product, release is limited so that 10 CFR 100 guidelines are not exceeded f'r this accident. Reference Section 14.6.2 FSAR. An alarm with a nominal setpoint of 1.5 x normal full-power background is provided also.
Pressure instrumentation is provided to close the main steam isolation valves in Run Hade when the main steam line pressure drops below 825 psig o 112

desirable to cause spurious isolation due"to high drywell pressure resulting from non-safety related causes. To protect the reactor from a possible pipe break in the system, isolation is provided by high temperature in the clean-up system area or high flow through the inlet to the cleanup system. Also, since the vessel could potentially be drained through the cleanup system, a low level isolation is provided.

Gro~ui 6 - I.ines are connected to the primary containment but not directly to the reactor vessel. These valves are isolated on reactor low water level (538"), high drywell pressure, or reactor building ventilation high radiation which would indicate a possible accident and necessitate primary containment isolation.
~Grou 7 - Process lines are closed only on the respective turbine steam supply valve not fully closed. This assures that the valves are not open, when 11PCI or RCIC action is required.

The group 2 isolation signal also "iso-lates<< the reactor building and starts the standby gas treatment system. It is not desirable to actuate the group 2 isolation signal by a transient or spurious signal. ~Grnu 3 Process lines are normally in use, and it is therefore not desirable to cause spurious isolation due "to high drywell pressure resulting from non-safety related causes. To protect the reactor from a possible pipe break in the system, isolation is provided by high temperature in the clean-up system area or high flow through the inlet to the cleanup system. Also, since the vessel could potentially be drained through the cleanup system, a low level isolation is provided. Grou s 4 and 5 - Process lines are designed to remain operable and mitigate the consequences of an accident which results in the isolation of other process lines. The signals which initiate isolation of Groups 4 and 5 process lines are therefore indicative of a condition which would render them inoperable. (lr~nu 6 Lines are connected to tha primary containment but not directly to the reactor vessel. These valves are isolated on reactor low water level (538"), high drywell pressure, or reactor building ventilation high radiation which would indicate a possible accident and necessitate primary containment isolation. ~Grow 7 Process lines are closed only on the respective turbine steam supply valve not fully closed.

This is to assure that this ll>>e does not provide a leakage path when containment pressure or reactor water level indicates a possible accident condition. The maximum closure time for the automatic- isolation vlaves of the primary containment and reactor vessel isolation control system have been selected in consideration of the design intent to prevent core uncovering following pipe breaks outside the pz'imary containment and the need to contain released fission products following pipe breaks inside tne primary containment. In satisfying this design intent, an additiona" margin has been included in specifying maximum closure times. This margin permits 'dentification of degraded valve performance prior to exceeding the design closure times. 277 ~ J yA'f T v c ) TR'9LS S=a. in The min:mum p'ant sta 'ing o" mcnitorinc and c~duct of ope"at'ons is as folloMs.

The low reactor water level instrumentation that is set to trip when reactor water level is 17.7" (378" above vessel zero) above the top of the active fuel (Table 3.2.B) initiates the LPCZ, Core Spray Pumps, contributes to ADS initiation, and starts the diesel generators. These tr ip setting levels were chosen to be high enough to prevent spurious actuation but low enough to initiate CSCS operation so that postaccident cooling can be accomplished and the guidelines of 10 CFR 100 will not be violated. For large breaks up to the complete circumferential break of a 28-inch recirculation line and with the trip setting given above, CSCS initiation is initiated in time to meet the above criteria. The high drywell pressure instrumentation is a diverse signal to the water level instrumentation and, in addition to initiating CSCS, it causes isolation of Groups 2 and 8 isolation valves. For the breaks discussed above, this instrumentation will initiate CSCS operation at about the same time as the low water level instrumentation; thus, the results given above are applicable here also. Venturis are provided in the main steam lines as a means of measuring steam flow and also limiting the loss of mass inventory from the vessel during a steam line break accident. The primary function of the instrumentation is to detect a break in the main steam line. For the worst case accident, main steam line break outside the drywell, a trip setting of 140$ of rated steam flow in con)unction with the flow limiters and main steam line valve closure limits the mass inventory. loss such that fuel is not uncovered, fuel cladding temper atures remain below 1000 F, and release of radioactivity to the environs is well below 10 CFR 100 guidelines. Reference Section 14.6.5 FSAR. Temperature monitoring instrumentation is provided in the main steam line tunnel to detect leaks in these areas. Trips are provided on this instrumentation and, when exceeded, cause closure of isolation valves. The setting of 200oF for the main steam line tunnel detector is low enough to detect leaks of the order of 15 gpm; thus, it is capable of covering the entire spectrum of breaks. For large breaks, the high steam flow instrumentation is a backup to the temperature instrumentation. High radiation monitors in the main steam line tunnel have been provided to detect gross fuel failure as in the control rod drop accident. Mith the established nominal setting of 3 times normal background and main steam line isolation valve closure, fission product release is limited so that 10 CFR 100 guidelines are not exceeded for this accident. Reference Section 14.6.2 FSAR. An alarm with a nominal setpoint of 1.5 x normal full-power background is provided also. 109 only the following condition:

Closure of one of the valves in each line would be sufficient to maintain the integrity of the pressure suppression system. Automatic initiation is required to minimize the potential,.leakage paths from the containment in the event of a loss of coolant accident. ~crau 1 - process lines are isolated hy reactor vessel low water level (0-JO<) in order to aU.ow for removal of decay heat subsequent to a scram, yet isolate in time for proper operation of the core standby cooling systems. The valves in group 1 are also closed when process instrumentation detects excessive main steam line flow, high radiaticn, low pressure, or main steam space high temperature. P ~Grou 2 Isolation valves are closed by reactor vessel low water level (538") or high drywell pressure. The group 2 isolation signal also "isolates" the reactor building and starts the standby gas treatment system. It is not desirable to actuate the group 2 isolation signal by a transient or spurious signal. ~Grow 3 - Process lines are normally in use, and it is therefore not desirable to cause spurious isolation due to high drywell pressure resulting- from nonsafety-related causes. To protect the reactor from a possible pipe break in the system, isolation is provided by high temperature in the cleanup system area or high flow thr ough the inlet to the cleanup system. Also, since the vessel could potentially be drained through the cleanup system, a low level isolation is provided. the consequences of an accident which results in the isolation of other process lines.

- 1. Units1 2 and3-Pa e7 Addition of definition: 'Surveillance Interval.'his definition would allow extension of a surveillance interval by 25 percent but not more than 3 .25 times the surveillance interval over three consecutive intervals. This definition is identical to specification 4.0.2 from the BWR Standard Technical Specifications.
Submittal of those teohnical spocifications was recommended in the NRC's Generic Letter No. 83-27 dated July 6, 1983. Safet Anal sis This change is being made to reflect the industry standard on the extension of surveillance intervals as specified in the Standard Technical Specifications and Generic Letter 83-27. The tolerances stated are necessary to provide operational flexibility because of scheduling and performance considerations. The tolerance values, taken either individually or consecutively over three test intervals, are sufficiently restrictive to ensure that the reliability associated with the surveillance aotivity is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the nominal specified interval. It, therefore, does not reduce the safety margin of the plant.
- 2. Unit 1 onl Pa e 31 Delete the letter 'C'n 4.1, 'Surveillance Requirements.'ection 4 .1 .B was added by Amendment No. 92 to license DPR-33 dated December 12, 1983 . Removal of the letter 'C'hould have been made at that time. However, as a result of an oversight it was not included in our submittal. Tho letter 'C'eeds to be removed for consistency of the specif'cations.

Add note (13) to the high radiation main steamline tunnel trip level setting. A similar ohango was made to and approved for table 3 .1 .A in TS 162. It was inadvertently omitted from table 3 .2.A. The bases were also ohanged to reflect this.
- 4. Units 1 and 2 Pa e 58 Unit9-Pa e60 Change group 2 (TIP-Actuation)logic to group 8 (TIP-Actuation) logic. The TIP system isolates with the gxoup 8 isolation logic. A similax'hange was made to and approved for table 4.2.A in TS 162.
It was inadvertently omitted from table 3 .2.A.

- 8. This signal isolates the TIP system. It was previously omitted from the technical specifications.
- 6. Units 1 and 2 Pa e 27 Unit 9 Pa e 294 The bases are being revised to more accurately describe the actuation logic associated with the group 7 isolation valves and to include the reactor low water level trip setting for the group 8 valves. This setpoint was previously omitted.
7 . Units 1 and 2 Pa e 70 Unit 3 Pa e 72 Revise RHR service water pumps which are started by the Core Spray motor starts. The pumps listed in the technical specifications are wrong. This change will not have any adverse impact on the safety of the plant.
- 8. Units 1 and 2 Pa e 78 Unit 3 - Pa e 81 The pxoposed amendment makes a correotion in table 9 .2 .F to the indicator xange of the reactor pressure instruments. The reactor pressure indicators in the control room have a span of 0-1500 lb/in2g. Tho range for this instrument was listed in the technical specifications as 0-1200 lb/in2g. This amendment proposes'o correct the range in the 'technical specifications to reflect the actual xange of 0-1500 lb/in2g.
This change is for accuraoy of the technical specifications only. The calibrated range of he indicators in service is 0-1500 psig. This change is to update the teohnical specifications to the existing equipment. This change will not affect the operation, safety mar'gina, accident analysis, or overall safety of the plant. 0 ~ I V 9, Unit 2 Pa es 231 and 232 Revise the testing requirements for personnel air lock doors. During unit 2 reload 4, strongbacks were attached to the personnel air lock doors. These strongbacks allow testing the personnel air lock doors at an internal pressure of greater than 49.6 psig in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix J. The technical specifications associated with this modification were inadvertently omitted from the reload technical specifications. The 10 CFR 50, Appendix J testing procedure is more xestrictive and has been administratively imposed. The revision, therefore, does not have an adverse impact on plant safety. This change makes the unit 2 specification consistent with those for units 1 and 3.
- 10. Unit 2 - Pa e 251A Revise the location of the Hydrogen-Oxygen system isolation valves.
Tile Hays-Republic H2-02 monitoring system was installed during the unit 2 reload 4 outage. The system has two outboard primary containment isolation valves per line. The proposed revision is being made to reflect the correct configuration in table 3 .7 .A and is clerical in nature only.
- 11. Units 1 and 2 Pa e 266 Unit 3 - Pa e 284 Table 3 .7 .H is being revised to remove penetration X-230 and add penetration X-219. Penetration X-230 is not a testable penetration and, therefore, cannot be tested. Penetration X-219 is a testable penetration that was inadvertently omitted from the technical specifications. However, X-219 is included in the surveillance instruction and is being tested.
The revision to the technical specifications is the corrective action for a deficiency identified by an internal audit.
- 12. Units 1 and 2 Pa e 358 Unit 3 Pa e 388 Revise the requirements on environmental qualification by deleting paragraph 6.9.A which currently requires that all safety-related electrical equipment be qualified by no later than June 30, 1982.
(The new deadline specified in 10 CFR 50.49(g) replaced the previous deadline of June 30, 1982.) Also, renumber paragraph 6.9.B as 6.9.A and revise by removing the date of December'1, 1980, as the deadline for having complete and auditable records available. ENCLOSURE 3 SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION TVA BFNP TS 197 BROGANS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 Units 1 2 and 3 Pa e 7 Descri tion of Amendment Re uest The proposed amendment would revise the technical specifications to incorporate the definition of a surveillance interval. The application was submitted in response to NRC's Generic Letter 83-27 dated July 6, 1983, which clarifies NRC's position on surveillance intervals. NRC's letter reiterated the current practice concerning surveillance intervals, The proposed amendment would add the definition of a surveillance interval as it was described in the generic letter. Specifically, the definition would include a provision which permits any surveillance interval to be extended by 25 percent of the nominal interval provided that the total time interval does not exceed 3 .25 times the speoified surveillance interval over any three consecutive surveillance intervals. Basis for Pro osed No Si nificant Hazards Consideration Determination NRC has provided guidance concerning the application of the standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing certain examples (48 FR 14870) . The examples of actions involving no significant hazards consideration include a purely administrative change to the teohnical specifications. The proposed amendment fits the stated example due to the fact that it conforms to the staff's current practices and the standard teohnical specifications. On this basis, we propose to determine that the proposed amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.

Basis for Proosed No Si nificant Hazards Consideration Determination NRC has provided examples of amendments not likely to involve significant hazards consideration (48 FR 14870) . An example of an action involving no significant hazards consideration is '(i) a purely administrative change to technical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature.'he change proposed to page 91 of the Browns Perry unit 1 specifications is encompassed by that example in that the paragraph now denoted as 'C's 'ompatible with paragraph A. As presently configured paragraph after the paragraph lettered 'C'proposed for deletion). The 'B'ppears proposed revision does not in any way change the requirements of the approved technical specifications. 3, Units 1 and 2 Pa es 55 58 61 112 255 2 Unit 3 Pa es 57 60 63 109 267 294 Descri tion of Amendment Re nest The following would make changes to the technical specifications in the following areas.
- 1. Table 9 .2 .A The reactor low water level trip setpoint of 598 inohes above vessel zero initiates primary containment isolation.
Fox clarification of exactly what is isolated, 'Groups 2, 3, and added to the note. 6'ere
- 2. Table 9 .2 .A, notes for table 3 .2 .A, and associated bases A note was added to the trip level setting of the high radiation main steam line tunnel which provides a range for the setpoint. The sign was also deleted. The notes for table 3 .2.A and the bases were revised to reflect the revision. Table 4.2.A currently reads as that proposed for 9 .2.A.
9 . Table .2 .A The TIP actuation logic group number was revised from '2'o 3 '8.'IP-actuation is from the group 8 isolation logic. This ohange will make table 3 .2 .A consistent with tables 4.2 .A and 3.7.A.
- 4. The 3.7/4.7 bases were revised to more accurately describe the actuation logic associated with the group 7 isolation valves and to include the reactor low water level trip setting for the group 8 valves.
5 . Notes fox table 3 .7 .A - The reactor low water level (538 inches) trip setting was added to group 8. This signal isolates the TIP system. It was previously omitted from the technical specificatinns.

One example of actions involving no significant hazards consideration include: (i) a purely administrative change to tcchnical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature;.'he changes proposed in the application for amendment are enoompassed by the example in that they are administrative in nature and are being made for clarification (change No. 1), to achieve consistency (change No. 2), and to oorrect errors (change Nos. 3, 4, and 5). Since the applioation for amendment involves a proposed change that is similar to an example for which no significant hazards consideration exists, we have made a determination that the application involves no

'Descri tion of Amendment Re nest The amendment would revise the technical specifications of the operating license to (1) reflect the aotual RHRSW pumps that initiate on the core spray pump start signals for units 1, 2, and 3, (2) comply with 10 CFR 50.49 on environmental qualification for units 1, 2, and 3, (3) comply with 10 CFR 50, Appendix J on testing of the personnel air lock doors for unit 2, and (4) reflect the actual plant configuration . for the Hay-Republic H2-02 primary con ainment isolation valves for unit 2. Basis for Pro osed No Si nificant Hazards Consideration Determination The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of the standards by providing examples of actions that are likely, and are not likely, to involve significant hazards consideration (48 FR 14870). Three examples of actions not likely to involve significant hazards considerations are: '(i) A purely administative change to technical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the teohnical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature. (ii) A change that constitutes an additional 'limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the technical specifications: for example, a more stringent surveillance requirement (vii) A change to make a license conform to changes in the regulations where the license change results in very minor changes to facility operations clearly in keeping with the regulations.'roposed change Nos. {I) and (4) are administrative revisions to correct errors. The revisions have no effect on either limiting condition of operations (LCOs) or surveillance requirements. Since this change is being made to correct errors, it is encompassed by example (I) of the guidanoe provided by the Commission. Proposed change No. (2) is encompassed by example (vii) in that the change is being made to comply with 10 CFR 50.49. Proposed change No. (3) is encompassed by example {ii) in that the strongbacks were installed on the personnel air lock doors to allow testing them at a higher pressure in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix X. Since all of the changes to the technical specifications given are encompassed by an example in the guidance provided by the Commission of actions not likely to involve a significant hazards consideration, TVA has made a proposed determination that the application for amendment involves no significant hazards considerations. 5, Units I and 2 Pa es 78 Unit 3 - Pa e 81 Descri tion of Amendment Re nest The proposed amendment makes a correction in table 3 .2 .F to the indicator range of the reactor pressure instruments. The reactor pressure indicators in the control room have a span of 0-1500 lb/in2g. The range for this instrument was listed in the technical specifications as 0-1200 lb/in2g. This amendment proposes to correct the range in the teohnical specifications to reflect the actual range of 0-1500 lb/in2g. i~ + a Basis for Pro osed No Si nificant Hazards Consideration Determination The Commission has provided guidance concerning the appli'cation of, the standards by providing examples of actions that are not likely to involve significant hazards considerations (48 FR 14870) . One example of actions not likely to involve significant hazards considerations is a purely administrative change to technical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenolature. The proposed amendment is encompassed by this example since the revision is being made to correct an error in the instrument range for reactor pressure. Since the proposed amendment is encompassed by an example of actions not likely to involve a significant hazards consideration, WA proposes to determine )hat the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards cousideration. 6, Units 1 and 2 Pa e 266 Unit 3 Pa e 284 Descri Cion of Amendment Re nest Add penetration X-219 and remove penetration X-230 from table 3 .7.H. Basis for Pro osed No Si nificant Hazards Consideration Determination NRC has provided guidance concerning the application of the standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing certain examples (48 FR 14870) . The examples of actions involving no significant hazards consideration include '(;i) a purely administartive change to technical specifications: for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature.'he proposed amendment fits this example because the proposed specification revisions reflect the actual testing requirements of the plant's configuration. Another example of the no significant hazards consideration is '(ii) A change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the technical specifications: for example, a more stringent surveillance requirement.'he proposed technical specifications fit this example since it reflects the addition of a ne<< testable pentration (X-219) to table 3 .7.H. On the basis we propose to determine that the proposed amendment involve no significant hazards consideration. A r e I
