These changes are being made to delete the requirements for and all references to the static pressure limiting system for the secondary conta1nment. The 'system for the refueling floor is a shared system which affects the technical specifications of all units.
The system was originally installed to prevent the standby gas treatment blowers, which have an excess capacity, from creating a large negative pressure in the building and causing difficulty in the opening of doors as stated in the FSAR section 5.3.3.7.'he system was in the technical specifications because misoperation could result in loss of secondary containment because the regulators failed in the open direction.; No other safety basis for this system has been found.
Safet Anal sis Operating exper ience. has indicated 'that this system is not needed to limit building negative pressure as was originally anticipated. The original had no safety basis and was for operational practicality only. 'unction The existence of this system increases the probability of loss in secondary containment because of failur e to the system in the open direction. When this request for change is approved, the system will be disabled with the dampers in the closed position or it will be blanked off. =This will result in an increase in safety.
ENCLOSURE 3 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 (TVA BFNP TS 202)
Descri tion of Chan e The proposed amendment deletes the requirement for and all references to the static pressure limiting system for'he secondary conta1nment.
Basis for Pro osed No Si ificant Hazards Consideration Determination The original purpose of the static pressure limiting system was to prevent the standby gas treatment (SBGT) system blowers, which have an excess capacity> from creating a large negative pressure in the build1ng and causing difficulty in the opening of doors as stated in the FSAR section 5.3.3.7. The system was in the technical specifications because~
the regulators failed in the open position, it would result in the loss of if secondary conta1nment. If the regulators failed in the closed posit1on, no corrective action was required since the reactor zone walls and ceiling are designed above the suction pressure of the SBGT.
The amendment will allow the removal of the system which will result in disabling the damper s in the closed position. Thus, the removal of the system will result in decreasing the probability of losing secondary containment. Removal of the system is not connected with any foreseeable accident and will result in an overall increase in the safety margin.
Based on this analysis, TVA proposes to determine that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
