ATTACHMENT TO LCR 84-18 Description of Change Revise Unit 2 Technical read "at least once per flow rate of 12 + 3 gpm
.sample valve 2cs61 with psig."
Specification requirement 4.6.2~2.d 5 years by verifying a NaOH solution from the spray additive tank through the spray additive tank at 2.5 + 0.5 Presently, a flow of 7.3 + 0.7 gpm is specified.
Reason for Change During testing in late 1980, a flow value of 11.9 gpm was recorded for Unit 1 and 12.5 gpm for Unit 2.
These values exceeded the values of 7.3 + 0.7 gpm specified in the Technical Specification for-each Unit.
Since the intent of the test is to verify that there is no flow obstruction between the -tank and the sample valve, the "as found" results were evaluated by PSE&G and found to be satisfactory.
The PSE&G review is documented in Safety Evaluation SGS/M-SE-074 Rev. 1.
The Unit 1 Technical Specification was changed to 12 + 3 gpm through Amendment #29.
The Unit 2 Technical Specification~
were at that time in draft form.
This item, along with many others, was discussed at meetings with the NRC to finalize the Unit 2 Technical Specifications, but apparently, it was not implemented with the original issue of the Unit 2 Technical Specifications.
A recent review by station personnel detected this inconsistancy.
Significant Hazards Consideration Analysis The purpose of the test, a gravity flow of NaOH solution from the spray additive tank throuyh a sam~le line (valve 2CS61), is to demonstrate unobstructed flow of liquid NaOH solution out of the tank to the containment spray system eductors (The NaOH would then be added to the containment by the containment spray pumps).
This specification change, thus, provides higher assurance that NaOH addition to the containment will occur if required.
Since the change does not alter any system design, function or method of operation, there is no increase in the probability or consequences of any previously analyzed accident, no new accidents or malfunctions are created, and no margins of safety are decreased.
Since this change constitutes a more stringent surveillance requirement, it co~forms to example (ii) of Examples of Amendments that are not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Consideration as provided by the Commission in 48FR14870.
