This tabulation supplements the requirements of 10 CPR 20.2206. The dose assignments to various duty functions may be estimated based on pocket ionization chamber, thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD),
electronic dosimeter, or film badge measurements. Small exposures totaling < 20 percent of the individual total dose need not be accounted for. In the aggregate, at least 80 percent of the total deep dose equivalent received from external sources should be assigned to specific major work fiinctions.

JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES SECTION 5.1 - RESPONSIBILITY ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES Al Reformatting and renumbering are in accordance with the BWR Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG. 1433. As a result the. Technical Specifications should be more readily readable, and therefore, understandable by plant operators as well as other users. The reformatting, renumbering, and rewording process involves no technical changes to existing Technical Specifications.
Editorial rewording (either adding or deleting) is done to make consistent with NUREG-1433. During ISTS development certain wording preferences or. Engl-ish language conventions were adopted which resulted in no technical changes (either actual or interpretational) to the Technical Specifications. Additional information has also been added to more fully describe each subsection. This wording is consistent with the BWR Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1433. Since the design is already approved, adding more detail does not result in a technical change.
A2 Site Vice President (SVP) added to BFN ISTS 5.1.1 to clarify that the SVP is responsible for the overall activities of the site and to require him to delegate that responsibility when absent. Changed the position title "Site Director" to "Site Vice President." This is not new information in terms of present site organization but does provide detail not described in existing Technical Specifications.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - NORE RESTRICTIVE Hl This change proposes to add a requirement in Technical Specifications for the Plant Hanager, or his designee, to approve prior to implementation, each proposed test, or experiment to systems or equipment that affect nuclear safety. This change ensures the Plant Manager is aware of all changes with the potential to affect nuclear safety. This change adds requirements to the Technical Specifications which constitute a more restrictive change. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. l.
H2 This change proposed to specify the qualifications of the individual, who is designated to be responsible for the control room command function in the absence of the Shift Manager. In the CTS, no qualifications are specified for the designated individual. The change will require one of the two licensed operators to have an SRO during Modes 1, 2, and 3. Since this requirement will require one of the licensed operators to have an SRO (whereas currently both could have an RO) this is considered a more restrictive change. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. l.

Additional information has also been added to more fully describe each subsection. This wording is consistent with the BQR Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1433. Since the design is already approved, adding more detail does not result in a technical change.
A2 The term "Health Physics" in BFN TS 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 has been changed to "Radiological Controls" in proposed BFN ISTS 5.2.1.d 5.2.2.d to match plant-specific organization and function name.
A3 Proposed BFN ISTS 5.2.2.e addresses administrative controls to limit working hours of unit staff who perform safety related functions. These requirements are currently addressed by CTS 6.8.1.1.b, which specifies that the overtime will be controlled in accordance with Generic Letter 82-12. Since the overtime controls proposed by ISTS 5.2.2.e are equivalent to those provided by Generic Letter 82-12, the proposed change is considered administrative.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - NORE RESTRICTIVE Proposed Specification 5.2.2.f requires the Operations Superintendent to hold a current SRO license a BFN unit. Although BFN currently requires this qualification requirement to be met, it is currently not specified in Technical Specifications. Therefore, the proposed addition is considered more restrictive.
M2 'ew requirements are being'dded Advisor. The proposed to specify the function of the Shift TS will require the STA to meet the Technical requirements of the NRC Policy Statement and will require the STA to provide advisory technical support to the Shift Supervisor in the areas of thermal hydraulics, reactor engineering, and plant analysis with regard to safe operation of the unit. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. 1.
BFN-UNITS 1, 2, K 3 Revision 1
IL JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES SECTION 5.2 - ORGANIZATION TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIV "Generic" LAl 1'VA proposed the Hinimum Shift Crew Composition Table not be retained in Technical Specifications. 10 CFR 50.54(k), (1), and (m) provide the requirements for the shift complement regarding licensed operators. The regulations describe the minimum shift composition for operating modes, as well as cold shutdown and refueling. Additionally, Specifications 5.1.2 and 5.2.2.b of the Improved Standard Technical Specifications specify the conditions when the licensed operator is required to be in the control room. Non-licensed operator requirements will be maintained in Specification 5.2.2.a. Removing the Table from Technical Specifications will not jeopardize plant safety nor is it necessary to be duplicated in order to assure safe operation of the facility. These requirements will also be included in plant procedures.
LA2 CTS 6.2,2.b requires a licensed senior reactor operator to be present at the site at all times when there is fuel in the reactor. This is also required by 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(ii). Therefore, the removal of this specific requirement is a change in the presentation of requirements only and, therefore, is considered an administrative. Therefore, this unnecessary duplication of requirement has been eliminated. This change is made for consistency with NUREG-1433, Rev. l.
"Specific'l CTS Table 6.2.A requires four non-licensed operators when all three units are shutdown or when one unit is in operation, and five non-licensed operators when two or three units are in operation. NUREG-1433, Rev. 1 requires three non-licensed operators for a two unit plant when both units are shutdown or defueled. Three non-licensed operators will be required if all three units are shutdown or defueled because Units 1 and 2 share a coaeon control room and because with one unit operating only three non-licensed operators are required by Improved Technical Specifications. In addition, with two units operating (different control rooms), four non-licensed operators will be required.
Based on experience, TVA believes that the NUREG-1433, Rev. 1 provides adequate staffing levels for non-licensed operators to support safely controlling the plants, whether shutdown or operating. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. l.
BFN-UNITS 1, 2, < 3 Revision 1
JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES SECTION 5.2 - ORGANIZATION L2 CTS 6.2.2.d requires two licensed reactor operators and a licensed senior reactor operator during cold startups, plant shutdowns, and recovery from trips. Because of experience gained since Unit 2 restart in Hay 1991, TVA believes that this requirement is no longer'ecessary and that compliance with the manning requirements of ITS and 10 CFR 50.54 (k), (1), and (m) will assure adequate staffing of licensed positions. Therefore, this CTS requirement is deleted. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. l.
L3 CTS Table 6.2.A Note b, which allows the operating shift complement to be one less than the minimum requirement for up to two hours, is revised in ITS 5.2.2.c to delete the word 'one.'TS 5.2.2.c requires iaeediate action to fill the vacant position, and maintains the CTS requirement that such a condition shall not exceed two hours. Additionally, Footnote 1 to the Hinimum Staffing Table in 10 CFR 50.54(m) permits temporal'y deviations from the required staffing numbers as established in the unit's Technical Specifications. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. l.
L4 CTS Table 6.2.A Note b, which does not permit any shift crew position to be unmanned upon shift change, is not included in ITS. ITS 5.2.2.c requires immediate action to requirement that fill any vacant position, and does not condition shall not exceed two hours.

Therefore, unnecessary to specifically identify each program. Since the it is requirements remain, this is considered a change in the presentation only and, therefor e, is considered an administrative change.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE Hl This change proposes to add requirements for emergency operating instructions (EOIs) in the TS. The current TS do not specifically require the current form of EOPs (although BFN is committed to have them per NUREG-0737 and GL 82-33). The proposed TS will require EOIs which implement the requirements of the NUREG and GL. This change adds new requirements to the TS which constitutes a more restrictive change.
This change is consistent with NUREG-1433.
Revision 1
JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES.-
SECTION 5.4 - PROCEDURES This change proposes to add the requirement that procedures be established, implemented, and -maintained for effluent and environmental monitoring. These procedures are not addressed by Regulatory Guide 1.33 and have been added to ensure that effluent and environmental monitoring functions are properly controlled. The addition of requirements in the TS constitutes a more restrictive change. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433.
N3 This change proposes to add the requirement that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for all programs identified in Specification 5-.5, ".Programs and Manuals." The addition of- the requirement that prdcedures be established, implemented, and maintained for the programs of Section'.5 is consistent with the requirement for these programs. The addition of requirements in the TS constitutes a more restrictive change. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433.
TECHNIC L CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE "Generic" LAl Requirements for procedures related to the review and audit 'function are proposed to be covered by the gA program, which will ensure these 0 requirements will be appropriately maintained. The change control process of 50.54(a) for the gA program will provide equivalent change control.
eliminated.
Therefore, this duplication of requirement has been LA2 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, section F establishes the requirements for conducting emergency drills. The onsite emergency plan is required to be exercised every two years. In addition, it is required that adequate emergency response capabilities be maintained between the biennial exercises by conducting drills. These requirements are implemented in TVA's Radiological Emergency Plan. Browns Ferry's experience is that adequate implementation of these requirements can only be achieved by running drills at least annually. In these drills, as an integral part of the scenario, failures of safety-related systems and components are required to achieve the scenario objectives. Therefore, TVA has determined that relocating the requirements contained in CTS 6.8.2 is acceptable and appropriate. This relocation is consistent with STS. It will not reduce the effectiveness of the emergency response organization because the Radiological Emergency Plan implements the applicable regulatory requirements. Changes to the Radiological Emergency Plan are controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q).

As a result the Technical Specifications should be more readily readable, and therefore, understandable by plant operators as well as other users. The reformatting, renumbering, and rewording process involves no technical changes to existing Technical Specifications.
Editorial rewording (either adding or deleting) is done to make consistent with NUREG-1433. During ISTS development certain wording preferences or English language conventions were adopted which resulted in no technical changes (either actual or interpretational) to the Technical Specifications. Additional information has also been added to more fully describe each subsection. This wording is consistent with the BWR Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1433. Since the design is already approved, adding more detail does not result in a technical change.
A2 This requirement merely restates that all applicable requirements must be met. Repeating this overall requirement as a specific detail is redundant and unnecessary; therefore, this detail can be omitted without
~- any technical change in the requirements.
A statement of applicability of SR 3.0.3 is needed to maintain allowances for surveillance frequency extensions contained in the proposed Technical Specifications since these SRs are not normally applied to frequencies identified in the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications. The addition of SR 3.0.3 is discussed in the proposed changes for BFN ISTS 3.0. Since this change is a clarification needed to maintain provisions that would be allowed in the LCO sections of the Technical Specifications, it is considered administrative in nature.
A4 CTS 3.7.B.2.a states the results of the in-place cold DOP and halogenated hydrocarbon test at a 10% design flow on HEPA filters and char coal adsorber banks.... However, the Specification should state i
"a 10K." The proposed Specification has corrected this error.
A5 Instead of specifying the curie limit in the TS, proposed ISTS 5.5.8 contains a reference to 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2, in order to determine allowable quantities of radioactivity in liquid holdup tanks. This change is considered a presentation preference only and, therefore, is an administrative change.
Revision 1
JUSTIPZCATXOM FOR CHAHQES SECTION 5 ~ 5 PROGRAMS AND MANUALS A6 A statement of applicability of SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 is needed to clarify that the allowances for surveillance frequency extensions do apply, since these SRs are not normally applied to frequencies identified in the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications. Since this change is a clarification needed to maintain provisions that would be allowed in the LCO sections of the Technical Specifications, it is considered administrative in nature.

A9 This statement has been added since the 1.25 extension allowed by SR 3.0.2 cannot be applied to Appendix J required test frequencies. A positive statement was added to specifically allow the SR 3.0.3 provision. These changes are consistent with the Appendix J, Option B Model for BNR/4 plants dated 10/31/95.
A10 The 10 CFR 20 reference in CTS was based on a previous version of 10 CFR. The revised reference is correct for the current version of 10 CFR.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - NORE RESTRICTI E NI This change proposes to add a requirement in the TS for the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment. This program provides controls to minimize leakage from those portions of systems outside containment that could contain highly radioactive fluids during a serious transient or accident to levels as low as practicable. At BFN, this program is currently required by an NRC coaeitment and implemented by procedure and the normal preventive maintenance program for ECCS systems.

e JUSTZPZCATZON POR CHANGES SECTZOM 5 ~ 5 - PROGRAMS AND MANUALS This. change proposes to add a requirement in TS for a Component Cyclic or Transient Limit Program. This program provides controls to track the cycl,ic and transient occurrences to ensure, that components are .
maintained within the design limits. The addition of programs to the TS,.constitutes a more restrictive change. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433.
H3 This change proposes to add a requirement in the TS for a Technical Specifications Bases Control Program. This program is provided to specifically delineate the appropriate methods and reviews necessary for a change to the Bases of...Technical. Specifications.
H4 This change proposes to add a requirement in the TS for the Safety Function Determination Program. This program is included to support implementation of the support system Operability characteristics of the improved Standard Technical Specifications.'he addition of new requirements to the TS constitutes a more restrictive change.
H5 A new requirement, proposed ISTS 5.5.9.b is added to the TS to perform a test for total particulate concentration of the fuel oil (w 10 mg/1) every 92 days utilizing ASTH D-2276, Hethod A-2 or A-3.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE "Generic" LAl The following CTS requirements have been relocated to the Technical Requirements Hanual (TRH) for standardization and consistency with NUREG-1433, Rev. 1: CTS 3.8.A.6, actions to be taken with radioactive liquid waste exceeding the limits of CTS 3.8.A.5; CTS 4.8.A.6,determining the quantity of radioactive material in outside liquid radwaste storage tanks; CTS 3.8.B.9, limit for hydrogen concentration in the offgas system downstream of the recombiners; CTS 3.8.8.10, action to be taken when hydrogen concentration in the offgas system downstream of the recombiners exceeds the limits of CTS 3.8.B.9; CTS 4.8.8.5, reference to CTS 3.2.K and CTS 4.2.K; and CTS 3.2.K/4.2.K, explosive gas monitoring instrumentation. These, types of requirements are not required to be in technical specifications under 10 CFR 50.36.
Changes to the TRH are controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.
LA2 Details of the Inservice Testing (IST) program in the CTS are proposed to be relocated to the plant controlled IST program. The relocated requirements are duplicated in 10 CFR 50.55a, which requires the implementation of ASHE,Section XI and applicable addenda, for IST of ASHE Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pump and valves. Since the relocated provisions are required by regulations outside of TS, it is not Revision 1

LA3 Details of the Inse}vice Inspection Program (ISI) in the CTS are
.proposed to be relocated to the plant controlled ISI program. The ISI Program is required by 10 CFR 50.55a to be performed in accordance with ASME Section .XI. The BFN ISI program implements the applicable provisions of ASHE Section XI. Generic Letter 88-01 provides an ISI program for piping in accordance with the NRC staff positions on schedule, methods, personnel, and:sample expansion or in accordance with alternate measures approved by the NRC .staff. " BFN-commitments to GL 88-01 do not need to be repeated in the proposed ISTS. Regulations and BFN commitments to the NRC .contain the necessary programmatic requirements for ISI without repeating them in the ISTS. Changes to the ISI program are controlled by the licensee controlled programs requirements.
"Specific" Ll CTS 6.8.4.1.a 8 f uses the term "OPERABILITY" when referring to radioactive and gaseous monitoring instrumentation and treatment systems. Proposed ISTS 5.5.4 uses the term "functional capability." .
The proposed change is necessary because the Radioactive Effluent Controls Program is located outside the Technical Specifications in the ODCH. Use of the term "OPERABILITY" can be confusing when used in programs which are not in the Technical Specifications. The term functional capability means that the component or system is capable of performing its design function. Since it is not a Technical Specification defined term, the use of "functional capability" is considered less restrictive than the use of the term "OPERABILITY."
L2 The air distribution testing specified in CTS 4.7.B.1.c is not required by ANSI N510-1975 to be performed routinely. It is intended to be done only on initial installation. Therefore, this requirement is being deleted.
L3 The frequency of the pressure drop test specified in CTS 4.7.B.1 for standby gas treatment system is being changed from once per year to once every 18 months. This change makes the testing frequency consistent with the same test that is done on the control room emergency ventilation system. Plant operating experience supports the extension of the surveillance interval. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. l.
The frequency of testing the inlet heaters for the standby gas treatment system specified in CTS 4.7.B.l.b is changed from once per year to once every 18 months. ANSI N510-1975 requires testing every two years, BFN-UNITS 1, 2, 5 3 Revision 1
JUSTIPXCATZOM ROR CHANGES SECTZOH 5 ~ 5 PROGRAMS AND MANUALS however, proposed ITS 5.5.7.e specifies once every 18 months .because this test is typically performed with the pressure drop test which ITS 5.5.7.d requires. at that frequency. Plant operating experience supports the extension of the surveillance interval. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. 1.
L4 The required value for pressure drop specified in CTS 4.7.B.l.ais changed from 6 inches of water to 7 inches of water. This change is being made because the .testing specified in ITS includes the prefilter and the testing that has been-performed as specified in CTS did not include the .prefilter, :The"additional one inch of water margin is necessary to account for the inclusion of this additional component.
This-change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. 1.
L5 ,The frequency of testing specified in CTS 4.7.B.2.a is being changed as follows. The requirement to perform in-place testing specified by CTS 3.7.B.2.a after 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of system operation has been deleted. This requirement is intended to verify continued system effectiveness, after prolonged operation resulting from a reactor accident. The CTS 4.7.B.2.a requirement for a test every 18 months is carried forward in ITS 5.5.7. Also, the laboratory testing specified in CTS 3.7.B.2.b will continue to be required after 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of system operation and will adequately verify continued system effectiveness.

JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES SECTION 5.6 - REPORTING':REgUIRENENTS ADNINISTRATIVE CHANGES Al Reformatting and renumbering are in accordance with the BWR Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG 1433. As a result the Technical Specifications should be more readily readable, and therefore, understandable by plant operators as well as other users. The reformatting, renumbering, and rewording process involves no technical changes to existing Technical Specifications.
Editorial rewording (either adding or deleting) is done to make consistent with NUREG-1433. During ISTS development certain wording preferences or English language conventions were adopted which resulted in no technical changes (either actual or interpretational) to the Technical Specifications. Additional information has also been added to more fully describe each subsection. This wording is consistent with the BWR Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1433. Since the design is already approved, adding more detail does not result in a technical change.
A2 CTS 6.9.1.8 specifies a submittal date of "by April 1 of each calendar year" for the Radiological Effluent Release Report. Proposed BFN ISTS 5.6.3 states the submittal shall be in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36a.
Since requirements for submitting this information are contained in 10 CFR 50.36a, specifying a specific submittal date is not necessary.
Therefore, the proposed changes that eliminates the specific submittal date is considered administrative.
A3 Proposed Specification 5.6.1 requires the Occupation Radiation Exposure Report to be submitted by April 30 of every year. Since 10 CFR 20.2206 specifies this date and CTS 6.9.1.2.a is in place to ensure these requirements are met, the proposed addition of the date is considered administrative. Current BFN procedures require the Annual Report, which contains this information, to be submitted within 45 days after the end of the calendar year.
A4 Current Technical Specification 6.9.1.5 requires the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report to be submitted before Hay 1 of each year . Proposed Specification 5.6.2 requires the report to be submitted by Hay 15 of each year consistent with NUREG 1433, Revision 1. The proposed change still imposes the same requirement. As such, the minor adjustment in the submittal date is considered administrative.

Proposed BFN ISTS 5.6.6 requires a Special Report be submitted within 14 days, as required by Condition B or G of proposed BFN ISTS 3.3.3.1, when other PAH Instrumentation is inoperable. Since a Special Report is currently not required for other PAH instrumentation, the addition of this required is more restrictive.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE "Generic" LA1 Deleted (Replaced by DOC L2. See response to NRC Cotangent 5 6-1 )
This change relocates the requirements for Reportable Events. These requirements are duplicated in 10 CFR 50.73. These requirements are relocated to plant procedures. The NRC and Industry have agreed to remove requirements from the Administrative Controls Section which are duplicated by other regulatory requirements.
LA3 The requirements for reporting source test results that exceed allowable limits have been relocated to the Technical Requirements Hanual (TRH) for standardization and consistency with NUREG-1433, Rev. 1. This type of requirement is not required to be in technical specifications under 10 CFR 50.36. Changes to the TRH are controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.
LA4 Deleted (Replaced by DOC L3,).
The diesel generator (DG) special reporting requirements are relocated in their current licensing bases form to the Technical Requirements Hanual (TRH). A plant procedure implements the requirements and responsibilities for tracking emergency DG failures for the determination and reporting of reaching trigger values specified in NUHARC 87-00. These requirements are more restrictive than those specified in NUREG-1433, Rev. 1. In addition, Generic Letter 94-01, Removal of Accelerated Testing and Special Reporting Requirements for Diesel Generators, allows licensees to request removal from technical specifications of provisions for accelerated testing and special repol ting requirements for DGs. Browns Ferry proposes relocation only with no relaxation in the ITS conversion. The allowances of GL 94-01 BFN-UNITS 1, 2, K 3 Revision 1
JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES SECTION 5.6 - REPORTING REgVIRENENTS will be addressed separately, post-ITS implementation. Changes to the TRN are controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Rev. 1.
"Specific" CTS Table 3.2.F, Note 7, and CTS 6.9.2.9 requires a Special Report be submitted within 7 days after 7 days of inoperability of the High Range Primary Containment Radiation Monitors and Recorders. Proposed BFN ISTS 5.6.6 will require a Special Report be submitted within 14 days of the allowed period of inoperability. The proposed change is less restrictive since 7 additional days are provided to prepare and submit the Special Report. Since the additional time has no affect on the safe operation of the plant and is consistent with NUREG-1433, the proposed change is considered acceptable.
L2 CTS 6.9.1.2.b requires that any main steam relief valve that opens in response to reaching its setpoint or due to operator action to control reactor pressure to be reported to the NRC on an annual basis. The report provides a mechanism for the NRC to obtain information regarding challenges to safety relief valves after-the-fact, but provides no regulatory authority once the report is submitted {i.e., no requirement for NRC approval). Given that the report is only required annually and is not required to be approved by the NRC, it is clearly not necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. Therefore, this requirement is being deleted. This change is consistent with CTS.
L3 CTS 6,9.2.1 requires that a Special Report of fatigue usage be included in the annual operating report. However, there is no other specific regulatory requirement to report this information which appears to be of limited value for reporting purposes. Therefore, the requirements specified by CTS 6.9.2.1 are being deleted to reduce administrative burden.

Since the design is already approved, adding more detail does not result in a technical change.
A2 These changes modify the requirements contained in CTS 6.8.3 for high radiation area control.
Where dose rates are discussed, they are expressed in terms of the amount of radiation that an individual could receive in one hour, rather than instantaneous dose rates. These changes were made to make the specifications more consistent with the language used in 10 CFR 20 and to ensure that the specifications are not unnecessarily applied to situations where the radiation level is present for very short periods of time. In addition, distances for measurement were inserted where necessary since radiation levels vary with distance from the source.
In CTS 6.8.2, the phrase "or continuously guarded" was placed preceding the word "doors" to permit the use of direct surveillance to control access to areas with dose rates greater that 1 rem in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

Q Safet Function Determination Pro ram SFDP This program ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists. Additionally, other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions may be identified to be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system Condition and Required Actions. This program implements the requirements of LCO 3.0.6. The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a. Provisions for cross division checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected;
- b. Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists;
- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's Completion Time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities; and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant. to/system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable; or (continued)

Added new page 4, Revision l.
alUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES TO NUREG-1433 SECTION 5.0 - ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS BRACKETED PLANT SPECIFIC INFORMATION Bl Incorporates BFN plant specific information regarding position titles, organization names, FSAR chapters, and ISTS section numbers. In 5.2.l.a the bracket [FSAR] is replaced with Nuclear Power Organization Topical Report (TVA-NPOD89-A).
B2 Brackets removed and optional wording deleted since it does not apply to BFN or the program has been relocated to plant procedures.
I ~
B3 Brackets removed and values revised to reflect BFN plant specific requirements.
B4 Brackets removed and wording revised as necessary to reflect appropriate plant specific requirements. Reviewers notes deleted.
B5 The change to the information contained within the brackets reflects BFN licensing bases requirements.
B6 These changes modify the requirements for high radiation area control.
0 In the opening paragraph, the word shall" was changed to "may" to make clear that all of the alternatives given in 10 CFR 20. 1601 are acceptable.
Where dose rates are discussed, they are expressed in terms of the amount of radiation that an individual could receive in one hour, rather than instantaneous dose rates. These changes were made to make the specifications more consistent with the language used in 10 CFR 20 and to ensure that the specifications are not unnecessarily applied to s'ituations where the radiation level is present for very short periods of time. In addition, distances for measurement were inserted where necessary since radiation levels vary with distance from the source.
Specification 5.7.2 applies to areas which exhibit radiation levels greater than, but not equal to, I rem in I hour. This is consistent with CTS and Regulatory Guide 8.38, Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas in Nuclear Power Plants."
Revision I
0 JUSTIFiCATION FOR CHANGES TO NUREG-1433 SECTION 5.0 - ADNINISTRATIVE CONTROLS NON-BRACKETED PLANT SPECIFIC CHANGES Pl Incorporates plant specific information regarding Site Vice President responsibilities. Added Site Vice President to TS to specify his responsibilities relative to the Plant Hanager.
P2 ISTS renumbering, or minor rewording (TVA preference).
P3 This change incorporates plant specific terminology and changes or deletes NUREG requirements to make the proposed BFN ISTS consistent with the BFN licensing bases.
P4 Incorporates plant specific information regarding position titles, organization names, and functions.
P5 Editorial, grammatical, typographical corrections.
p6 This change modifies requirements for leak testing primary coolant sources outside containment to limit tests to the extent permitted by system design and radiological controls. Rewording to clarify that preventive maintenance is fulfilled by periodic visual inspections and system leak tests. BFN does not have a comparable Technical Specification requirement. However, BFN's current programs for minimizing leakage are consistent with the proposed Technical Specification requirement.
P7 Proposed changes incorporate current licensing bases requirements that were recently changed (BFN TS 335, Amendment No. 201, 220, and 174 for Units 1, 2, and 3 respectively issued December 2, 1993) to incorporate the corresponding revised 10 CFR 20 terminology or to retain operational flexibility consistent with Appendix I to 10 CFR 50, concurrent with the implementation of the revised 10 CFR 20.
PB The requirement of Specification 5.5.4.k for the Radioactive Effluent Controls program to include the limitations on venting and purging of the Hark II containment was deleted based on the fact that BFN has a Hark I containment.
Revision 1
JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES TO NUREG-1433 SECTION 5.0 - ADNINISTRATIVE CONTROLS P9 The statement that SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 are applicable to the VFTP Frequencies has been moved to right after the paragraph stating the Frequencies. This is to ensure the allowances are not inadvertently missed and for user friendliness; the allowances should be after the Frequencies, not three pages later.
P10 The 'change deletes program requirements 5.5.9.b that are not applicable to the BFN plant specific design. There are not any gas storage tanks (other than holdup pipes) and no method to limit curie content in the holdup pipe except reactor isolation and the fuel integrity itself. The provisions in the NUREG for Waste Gas Systems are for PWRs and not applicable to BFN. guantities of radioactivity contained in all outdoor liquid radwaste tanks meeting the conditions of NUREG 5.5.9.c are determined in accordance with the specified surveillance pr ogr am. The sentence in the introductory paragraph is not needed to specify a method to determine liquid radwaste quantities.
P11 NUREG Specification 5.5.9 was modified to reflect the plant specific requirements of CTS 4.9.A.l.e. The requirements for testing new fuel oil priot to addition to the 7-day tanks has not been included. At BFN, new fuel oil is not added to the 7 day tanks until it is determined the fuel oil meets applicable ASTH standards. This provides assurance that the addition will have no effect on the fuel quality in the 7-day tanks.
DG operability is based on surveillance requirements imposed on the 7-day tanks. Also, wording changes were made to clarify that the sampling and testing, of a and b apply to 7-day fuel oil storage tanks only.
P12 The PTLR concept will not be used at BFN since an NRC approved methodology does not exist for BFN.
P13 The High Radiation Area Specification has been changed to be consistent with and reflect revisions to 10 CFR 20. These changes are consistent with the guidance of Regulatory Guide 8.38, "Control of Access to High and Very High Radiation Areas in Nuclear Power Plants." Proposed changes incorporate current licensing bases requirements that were recently changed (BFN TS 335, Amendment No. 201, 220, and 174 for Units 1, 2, and 3 respectively issued December 2, 1993) to incorporate the corresponding revised 10 CFR 20 terminology Revision 1
JUSTIFICATION FOR CHANGES TO NUREG-1433 SECTION 5.0 - ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS P14 BFN TS 364 incorporates the new 10 CFR 50 Appendix J, Option B requirements for containment leakage testing requirements. TS 364 was approved by Amendment 228, 243, and 203 to Unit 1, 2, and 3 Technical Specifications, respectively. Therefore, a Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program (5.5.12) has been added to Programs and Hanuals (5.5) section of the proposed BFN ISTS.
P15 Current Technical Specifications for testing of fuel oil in storage tanks is conducted on a 92 day interval. This current interval has been found to be acceptable for use at BFN and is being retained in the proposed ISTS.
P16 The proposed change will revise the requirement for the Operations Hanager to hold a Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) license. The change will instead require the Operations Superintendent to hold a current SRO license on a BFN unit. At BFN, shift personnel report to the Shift Hanagers, who are required to be licensed as SROs for BFN in accordance with 10 CFR50.54(m)(2), and who in turn report directly to the Operations Superintendent.
The last paragraph of NUREG Specification 5.6.2, Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, has been omitted. The omitted paragraph requires additional information be submitted beyond what is currently required by the BFN licensing basis. BFN provides material consistent with the material outlined in the ODCH and in 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Sections IV.B.2, IV.B.3, and IV.C as required by CTS 6.9.1.5.
P18 Supports do not lie within the scope of the inser vice testing program required by 10 CFR 50.55a(f). Therefore, the proposed change, deleting

TVA's conclusion is based on its evaluation, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(l), of the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
- 1. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant increase in the robabilit or conse uences of an accident reviousl evaluated.
The proposed change involves reformatting, renumbering, and rewording of the existing Technical Specifications. The reformatting, renumbering, and rewording process involves no technical changes to existing Technical Specifications. As such, this 'change is administrative in nature and does not impact initiators of analyzed events. Therefore,'his change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
20 The ro osed amendment does not create the ossibilit of a new or different kind of accident from an accident reviousl evaluated.
The proposed change does not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or changes in methods governing normal plant operation. The proposed change will not impose or eliminate any new or different requirements. Thus, this change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant reduction in a mar in of safet .
The proposed change will not reduce a margin of safety because it has no impact on any safety analysis assumptions. This change is administrative in nature. As such, no question of safety is involved, and the change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

GENERIC NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATIONS TECHNICAL CHANGES - NORE RESTRICTIVE "Hx" Labe1ed Comments Discussions TVA has concluded that operation of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in accordance with the proposed change to the Technical Specifications does not involve a significant hazards consideration. TVA's conclusion is based on its evaluation, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(l), of the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
- 1. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant increase in the robabilit or conse uences of an accident reviousl eva1uated.
The proposed change provides more stringent requirements for operation of the facility. These more stringent requirements do not result in operation that will increase the probability of initiating an analyzed event and do not alter assumptions relati've to mitigation of an accident or transient event. The more restrictive requirements continue to ensure process variables, structures, systems and components are maintained consistent with the safety analyses and licensing basis.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. The ro osed amendment does not create the ossibilit of a new or different kind of accident from an accident revious1 evaluated.
The proposed change does not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or changes in methods governing normal plant operation. The proposed change does impose different requirements. However, these changes are consistent with the assumptions made in the safety analysis and licensing basis.
~
Thus, this change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant reduction in a mar in of safet .
The imposition of more restrictive requirements either has no impact on or increases the margin of safety. As provided in the justification for the change, each change in this category is by definition providing additional restrictions to enhance plant safety. The change maintains requirements within safety analyses and licensing basis. Therefore, this change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

GENERIC NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATIONS "GENERIC" LESS RESTRICTIVE CHANGES "LAx" Labeled Comments Discussions TVA has concluded that operation of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in accordance with the proposed change to the Technical Specifications does not involve a significant hazards consideration. TVA's conclusion is based on its evaluation, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(1), of the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
- 1. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant increase in t e robabilit or conse uences of an accident reviousl evaluated.
The proposed change relocates certain details from the Technical Specifications to the Bases, FSAR or procedures. The Bases, FSAR and procedures containing the relocated information will be maintained in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. In additioh to 10 CFR 50.59 provisions, the Technical Specification Bases are subject to the change control provisions in the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications. The FSAR is subject to the change control provisions of 10 CFR 50.71(e), arid plant procedures are subject to controls imposed by plant administrative procedures, which endorse applicable regulations and standards. Since any changes to the Bases, FSAR or procedures will be evaluated per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59, no increase (significant or insignificant) in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated will be allowed. Therefore, this change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

GENERIC NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATIONS "GENERIC" LESS RESTRICTIVE CHANGES "LBx" Labeled Comments Discussions TVA has concluded that operation of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in accordance with the proposed change to the Technical Specifications does not involve a significant hazards consideration. TYA's conclusion is based on its evaluation, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a)(1), of the three standards. set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
- 1. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant increase in the robabilit or conse uences of an accident reviousl ev'aluated.
The proposed changes increase the Surveillance Test Intervals (STIs) and Allowed Out-of-Service Times (AOTs) for instrumentation supporting a number of TS functions. There are no modifications to any of the affected systems. However, the changes are expected to reduce the test-related plant scrams and test-induced wear on the equipment. Therefore, there is no significant increase in the probability or occurrence of an accident previously evaluated.
General Electric Topical Reports NED0-30851-P-A, NED0-30936-P-A, NEDO-30S51-P-A, NED0-31677-P-A, GENE-770-06-1, and GENE-770-06-2 show that the effects of these extensions of STIs and AOTs are negligible and are bounded by previous analyses. Furthermore, the NRC has reviewed these reports and approved conclusions on a generic basis. Therefore, the change does not involve a significant increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. The ro osed amendment does not create the ossibil it of a new or different kind of accident from an accident reviousl evaluated.
The design and operational, function of the affected equipment are not changed by the proposed revisions. The proposed changes affect only the STIs and AOTs and will not impact the function of monitoring system variables over the anticipated ranges for normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, or accident conditions. Furthermore, the proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different type of equipment will be installed), make changes in methods governing normal plant operation, make any physical modifications, or alter any operational setpoints. Therefore, the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated is not created.

- 3. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant reduction in a mar in of safet .
The proposed changes do not alter the manner in which Safety Limits, Limiting Safety System Settings, or Limiting Conditions for Operation are determined. Reduced testing, other than as addressed above, allows a longer time interval over which instrument uncertainties (e.g., drift) may act. The current affected instrumentation setpoints account for the effects of drift and include a sufficient allowance to tolerate extensions of the STIs. Implementation of the proposed changes is expected to result in an overall improvement in safety for two reasons.
First, reduced testing will result in fewer inadvertent reactor trips, less frequent actuation of ESF components, and greater equipment availability. Second, reduced testing will result in less distractions of the operating staff from monitoring and controlling plant operations, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the operating staff. Therefore, the proposed changes do not significantly reduce the margin of safety.

- 1. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant incr ease in the robabilit or conse uences of an accident reviousl evaluated.
The proposed change relocates instrumentation requirements, which provide no post-accident function, from the Technical Specifications to the Bases, FSAR, or procedures. These requirements are part of routine operational monitoring and are not considered in the safety analysis.
The Bases, FSAR and procedures containing the relocated information will be maintained in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. In addition to 10 CFR 50.59 provisions, the Technical Specification Bases are subject to the change control provisions in the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications. The FSAR is subject to the change control provisions of 10 CFR 50.71(e), and plant procedures are subject to controls imposed by plant administrative procedures, which endorse applicable regulations and standards. Since any changes to the Bases, FSAR or procedures will be evaluated per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59, no increase (significant or insignificant) in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated will be allowed.
Therefore, this change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

- 3. The ro osed amendment does not involve a si nificant reduction in a mar in of safet .
This change relocates requirements from the Technical Specifications to a licensee controlled document. This change will not reduce a margin of safety since it has no impact on any safety analysis assumptions. In addition, the requirements to be relocated from the Technical Specifications to the licensee controlled document are the same as the existing Technical Specifications. Since any future changes to this licensee controlled document will be evaluated per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59, no reduction (significant or insignificant) in a margin of safety will be allowed. Therefore, this change will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The existing requirement in 10 CFR 50.90 for NRC review and approval of revisions to these details and requirements proposed for relocation does not have a specific margin of safety upon which to evaluate. However, since the proposed change is consistent with the BWR4 Standard Technical Specifications approved by the NRC Staff (NUREG-1433) and the change controls for proposed relocated details and requirements provide an equivalent level of regulatory authority, revising the Technical Specifications to reflect the approved level of detail and requirements ensures no reduction in the margin of safety.
