PROPOSED CHANGE TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SALEM UNITS 1 AND 2 DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE LCR 84-11

1)

Chang~ limiting condition for operation 3.4.l.2b to read as follows:

b.

At least one of the above coolant loops shall be in operation* when the rod control system is de-energized**.

2)

Add limiting condition for operation 3.4.l.2C as follows:

c.

At least two of the above coolant loops shall be in operation.when the rod control system is energized**

3)

Change the note with the single asterisk (*) to read as follows:

  • All reactor coolant pumps may be de-energized.for up to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> provided:

(1) no operations are permitted that would cause dilution of the reactor coolant system boron concentration (2) core outlet temperature is maintained at least 10°F below saturation temperature, and (3) the rod control system is de-energized**.

4)

Add the following note with a double asterisk (**):

    • The rod control system shall be considered de-energized when.one or more of the following conditions exist:
1)

Both Rod Drive MG set motor breakers are open.

2)

Both Rod Drive MG set generator breakers are open.

3)

A combination of at least three of the Reactor Trip and/or Reactor Trip Bypass Breakers are open.

If none of the above condition for de-energizing the rod control system are met; the system shall be considered energized.

REASON FOR CHANGE:

It has been discovered that there is a potential unreviewed safety question concerning the consistency between the safety analysis and the Technical Specifications.

LCR 84-11 (continued)

According to 10CFR50.36, the assumptions in the safety analysis and the plant Tech Specs must be consistent.

This ensures that the plant is operated in a manner such that it is bounded by the FSAR accident analysis.

SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION ANALYSIS This change constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, and control not presently included in the technical specifications, corresponding to Example (ii) of "Examples of Amendment That Are Considered Not Likely To Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" which were provided by the Commission in the Federal Register (48FR14870).

It has therefore been determined that this proposed change does not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration.
