REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES DPR-70 AND DPR-75 UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 SALEM GENERATING STATION DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 In accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended and the regulations thereunder, we hereby transmit copies of our request for amendment and our analyses of the changes to Facility Operating Licenses DPR-70 and DPR-75 for Salem Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2.

This three part request consists of revisions to two previously submitted requests for Amendment (79-01 and 81-19) pertaining to Radiological Effluent Controls and Administrative Controls, and to one new request (83-08).

Amendment request (83-08) includes proposed changes to the Safety Technical Specifications, Appendix A, pertaining to surveillance testing and reporting requirements for reactor trip breakers, which are being submitted as part of our Corrective Action Program.

This change involves a single safety issue and is, therefore, determined to be a Class III Amendment for one unit and a Class I Amendment for the other unit as defined by 10 CFR170.22. A check in the amount of $4,400 is enclosed.

ACTION 1.2 ACTION shall be that part of a specification which prescribes remedial measures required under designated conditions.

AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE 1.3 AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE shall be the difference in normalized flux signals between the top and bottom halves of a two section excore neutron detector.

CHANNEL CALIBRATION 1.4 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel output such that it responds with the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameter which the channel monitors. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel including the senso~ and alarm

  • and/or trip functions, and shall include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. The

.CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping or total channel steps such that the entire channel is calibrated.

CHANNEL CHECK 1.5 . A CHANNEL CHECK shall be the qualitative asse$sment of channel behavior

, during operation by observation. This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the channel indication and/or status with other indications and/or status derived from independent instrument channels measuring the same parameter.

CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST 1.6 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST shall be the injection of a simulated signal into the channel as close to the primary sensor as practicable to verify OPERABILITY including alarm and/or trip functions.

b One or more ins~ruments, such as pressurized ion chamber, for measuring and .

recording dose rate continuously may be used in place of, or in addition to, integrating dosimeters. For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter may be considered to be one phospor, and two or more phosphors in a packet may be considered as two or more dosimeters. Film badges shall not be used for measuring direct radiation. The 40 stations is not an absolute number. This number may be reduced according to geographical limitations; e.g., at an ocean site, some sectors will be over water so that the number of dosimeters may be reduced accordingly. An option open to licensees is to place some of .the 40 routine TLD monitoring stations inside the SITE BOUNDARY. Such stations could provide useful information under both routine and accident conditions, and would be particularly*valuable for the larger sites.

The ODCM calculational methods specified in Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown. by calculational procedures based on models and data such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The ODCM calculational methods for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory G.ui de 1.111, "Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. These equations also provide for determining the actual dose based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for iodine-131, tritium, and radionuclides in particu1ate form with half-life greater than 8 days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy v.egetation with subsequent consumption by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonable achievable."

(Automatic control features are included in the system to prevent the hydrogen and oxygen concentrations from reaching these flammability limits. These automatic control features include isolation of the source of hydrogen and/or oxygen, automatic diversion to recombiners; or injection of dilutants to reduce the concentration below the flammability limits). Maintaining the concentrationof hydrogen and oxygen below their flammability limits proves assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES 3/4.11.4 TOTAL DOSE This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have now.been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 10 to 46 Fr 18525. The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the c~lculated doses from plant radioactive effluents exceed twice the design objective dose~ of Appendix I. For sites containing up to 4 reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within the reporting requirement level. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR Part 190 limits. For purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER-OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the soe to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190 and 10 CFR Part 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifications 3.11.1 and 3.11.2.

RAD*IOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES 3/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring program required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEM~ERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the station operation. This monitoring* program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling,of the environmental exposure pathways.

The initial specified monitoring program will be effective for at .least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The LLDs required by_ Table 4.12-1 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized the the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measureme~t. -

  • aerial survey or consulting with local agricultural auth9rities shall be used.

This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.8.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 50m2 provides .

assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were made: 1) 203 of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) yield of 2 kg/m2.

This limitation provides additional assurance that the levels of radioactive materials in bodies of water in UNRESTRICTED AREAS will result in exposures within (1) the Section II.A design objectives of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC and (2) the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.106(a) to the population. The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope.and its MPC in air (submersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described in International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2.

The Limiting Condition for Operation implements the guides set forth in Section II.A of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating flexibility and at the same time implement-the guides set forth in Section IV.A of Appendix I to assure that the releases of radioactive material in liquid effluents will .be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Also, for freshwater sites with drinking water supplies that can be potentially affected by plant operations, there is reasonable assurance that the operation of the facility wi 11 *not result in radionuclide concentrations in the finished drinking water that are in excess of SALEM - UNIT 2 B 3/4 11-1

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES the requirements of 40 CFR Part 141. The dose calculations in the ODCM implement the requirements in Section III.A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropria~e pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The equations specified in the ODCM for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of radioactive materials in liquid effluents are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual does to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.113, "Estimating Aquatic Dispersion of Effluents from Accidential and Routine Reactor Releases for the Purposes of Implementing Appendix I," April 1977.

The specification applies to the release of liquid effluents from each reactor at the site. For units with shared radwaste treatment systems, the liquid effluents from the shared system are proportioned amoung the units sharing that system.

3/4.11.1.3 . LIQUID RADWASTE TREATMENT The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objective given in Section II.O of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the liquid radwaste treatment system were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth the Section II.A of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for liquid effluents.

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES Restricting the quantity of radi.oactive meterial contained in the specified tanks provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tanks' contents, the resulting concentrations wouJd be less than the limits of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2, at the nearest potable water supply and the nearest surface water supply in an UNRESTRICTED AREA.

3/4.11.2 GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 3/4.11.2.1 DOSE RATE This specification is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20~ Appendix B, Table II, Column 1. These limits provide reasonable assurance that radioactive material discharged in gaseou~ effluents will not result in the exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC either within or outside the SITE BOUNDARY, to annual average concentrations exceeding the limits specified in Appendix B, Table II. of 10 CFR Part 20 [13 CFR Part 20.106(b)]. For MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC who may at times be within the SITE BOUNDARY, the occupancy of the individual will usually be sufficiently low to compensate for any increase in the atmospheric diffusion factor above that for th~ SITE BOUNDARY. Examples of calculations for such MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC with the appropriate occupancy factors shall be given .in the ODCM. The specified release rate limits restrict, at all times, the corresponding gamma and beta dose rates above background to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY to less than or equal to 500 mrems/year to the skin. These release rate limits also restrict, at all times, the corresponding thyroid dose rate above background to a child via the inhalation pathway to less than or equal to 1500 mrems/year.

provide for determining the actual dose based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for iodine-131, tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-life greater than 8 days are dependent on the existing radionuclide pathways to man in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of these calculations were: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumpt1on by man, 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with Gonsumption of the milk and meat by ma~, and 4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure of man.

The requirement that the appropriate portions of this system be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluent~ will be kept "as low as is reasonable achievable." This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR Part*

50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50 and the design objectives given in Section II.O of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Section II.B and II.C of Appendix I, 10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES 3/4.11.2.5 EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste ga*s holdup system is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen. (Automatic control features are included in the system to prevent the hydrogen and oxygen concentrations from reaching these flammability limits. These automatic control features include isolation of the source of hydrogen and/or oxygen, automatic dive~sion to recombiners; or injection of dilutants to reduce the concentration below the flammability limits). Maintaining the concentrationof hydrogen and oxygen below their flammability limits proves assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES 3/4.11.4 TOTAL DOSE This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have now been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 10 to 46 Fr 18525. The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report whenever the calculated doses from plant radioactive effluents exceed twice the design objective doses of Appendix I. For sites containing up to 4 reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within the reporting requirement level. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR Part 190 limits. For purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the soe to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the. Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected), in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 190 and 10 CFR Part 20.405c, is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifications 3.11.1 and 3.11.2.

  • RADIOACTIVE EFFLUENTS BASES 3/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3/4.12.1 MONITORING PROGRAM The radiological environmental monitoring program required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting from the station operation. This monitoring program implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.

The initial specified monitoring program will be effective for at least the first three years of commercial operation. Following this period, program changes may be initiated based on operational experience.

The LLDs required by Table 4.12-1 are considered optimum for routine environmental measurements in industrial laboratories. It should be recognized the the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement. -

3/4.12.2 LAND USE CENSUS This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modificatins to the radiological environmental monitoring program are made if required by the results of his census. *The best information from the door-to-door survey, aerial survey or consulting with local agricultural auth9rities shall be used.

This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.8.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to gardens of greater than 50m2 provides assurance* that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and ~onitored since a garden of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/year) of leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were made: 1) 20% of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage), and 2) yield of 2 kg/m2.

LCR 83-08 DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE This change incorporates NRC notification requirements for Reactor Trip Breakers' and Reactor Trip Bypass Breakers' maintenance testing results that exceed acceptance criteria and for measured trip forces that exceed the acceptable upper limit. The proposed change also incorporates additional surveillance requirements committed to the NRC as part of PSE&G's corrective action program associated with the Reactor Trip and Bypass Breakers.

REASON FOR CHANGE This proposed change is the result of a PSE&G's commitment to submit, within 30 days of Startup of Unit No. 1, Technical Specifications covering the maintenance and surveillance testing for the Reactor Trip and Bypass Breakers and reporting requirments associated with that testing .

  • SAFETY EVALUATION This proposed change adds testing and reporting requirements which were reviewed and accepted by the NRC in their SER (NUREG-0995). No margin of safety is reduced by the change which ensures that existing equipment is more thoroughly tested and that any testing results that exceed acceptable limits are immediately reported to the NRC. This additional testing will identify any degradation of the trip breakers and, in conjunction with the long term operability verification program, will further enhance safety. This proposed change, therefore, would not:

(1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
