Description of Change This proposed change revises changes previously submitted as License Change Request (LCR} 8.4-01, Revision 1, dated October 6, 1986. LCR 88-07, dated July 15, 1988, extensively revised Chapter 6 of the Technical Specifications. Per our agreement with the Salem NRC Licensing Project Manager (Mr. J. C. Stone),
Chapter 6 pages from LCR 88-07 were used to prepare this LCR.
The changes are as follows:
- 1. Change definition 1.27 from "REPORTABLE OCCURRENCE" to "REPORTABLE EVENT", referencing 10CFR50.73. Also, editorial corrections are made to definition 1.32, "STAGGERED TEST BASIS".
- 2. (Unit 2 only). Editorial revision of Specification 4.2.2.2(c) to incorporate the change to the relationship between the limit for fractional thermal power operation and rated thermal power, as approved in Amendment 6 to the SGS Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

- 23. Revision of Section 6.10.2 to reflect the succession of the Nuclear Review Board by the Offsite Safety Review staff and to provide editorial corrections.
- 24. Addition of a footnote to Sections 6.12.1 and 6.12.2 to define radiation intensity as it is used to determine whether an area is a High Radiation Area. 6.12.1 is also revised to delete reference to "Health Physicist" and to provide editorial corrections. 6.12.2 is being revised to reflect the "Senior Nuclear Shift Supervisor" title.
Also revise Section 6.12.1 to reference 10CFR20.203(c) (4), which allows a high radiation area established for thirty days or less to be controlled via direct surveillance.
- 26. (Unit 1 only). Revision of Section 6.16 to delete references to past deadlines for Environmental Qualification compliance.
II. Reason for the Proposed Change License Change Request (LCR) 84-01 was initially submitted to the NRC on March 27, 1984, in response to the revised reporting requirements of Generic Letter~a-3-4-3-.-Rev-is-ion-l_to_LCR 84-01 was subsequently submitted on October 6, 1986 and added~c~h~a~n-g~e=s~~~~~
to reflect organizational changes, reflect revised primary coolant specific activity reporting requirements of Generic Letter 85-19 and to provide editorial corrections to the
- Technical Specifications. This LCR (i.e., Revision 2) is being NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 submitted to reflect a recent management reorganization, to propose additional changes to administrative controls and to facilitate NRC review by providing greater description and justification for the changes proposed in the previous revisions.
Reasons for the specific changes listed above, excluding editorial changes, are as follows:
- 1. "REPORTABLE EVENT" is phraseology consistent with Generic Letter 83-43 and 10CFR50.73.
- 2. The correct multiplier for the peaking factor relationship is 0.3, which was approved per Amendment 6 to the Salem Unit 2 Technical Specifications. 11 0.3 11 was handwritten into the Technical Specifications; this LCR is typing 11 0.3 11 into the appropriate place. Proposed Specification 6.9.1.9 is the appropriate reference regarding the Radial Peaking Factor Limit Report.
- 3. Due to the implementation of the LER rule (Generic Letter 83-43), Specification 6.9.1.9.b no longer pertains to thirty-day written reports. Therefore, the references to this Specification are being deleted.
- 4. Due to improved fuel design, fuel management and the reporting requirements of 10CFR50.72(b) (1) (ii), the NRC has modified the primary coolant specific activity Technical Specification requirements. Generic Letter 85-19 provides guidance in this regard and has been used as a model for the applicable proposed revisions in this LCR.
- 5. The phrase "in lieu of a Licensee Event Report" is superfluous and its removal is consistent with Generic Letter 83-43. since Specification 3.11.2.4 applies at all times, Specification 3.0.3 is not applicable to it.
- 6. The changes are consistent with NUREG 0472, "Standard Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications for Pressurized Water Reactors," Revision 3, draft. The current values of allowable activity levels for tritium and I-131 are based on 40CFR141 limits for drinking water pathways. Where such pathways are not potentially affected, it is proposed that the limits be increased.
Cesium-136 was inadvertently included in table 4.12-1, instead of Cs-134, which is the correct isotope per NUREG 0472. An editorial change is being made accordingly.
NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2
- 7. In the current organization, the General Manager -
Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety Review has replaced the General Manager - Nuclear Safety Review with regard to responsibility for the Onsite and Offsite Safety Review Groups. This License Change Request proposes changing the title to "General Manager - Quality Assurance and Nuclear Safety" to more accurately reflect the responsibilities of the position (i.e., safety related review and audit functions).
- 8. "Radiation protection technician*i is the title consistent with the current organizational configuration, not "Health physics technician".
"Radiation protection technician" is being added to table 6.2-1 to be consistent with the current requirement (Specification 6.2.2.c) to have a technician present whenever fuel is in the reactor. Specification 6.2.2.c is being deleted to eliminate redundancy to revised table 6.2-1.
- 9. The Shift Technical Advisors' reporting responsibility is to the Senior Nuclear Shift Supervisor. The Radiation Protection/Chemistry Manager, as well as the Radiation Protection Engineer, is required to meet or exceed the personnel qualifications criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.8. Responsibility for Fire Brigade training has been transferred from Manager - Nuclear Training to Manager - Site Protection to consolidate administration of the Fire Protection Program.
Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 55 has been deleted. The requirements for the operator requalification program formerly contained in 10CFR55 Appendix A are now contained in 10CFR55.59. The proposed change references the applicable requirements (i.e., 10 CFR Part 55) and reduces the likelihood of requiring an additional Technical Specification change by not being too specific. Operator requalification is still performed in accordance with the NRC-approved requalification program.
- 10. The title "Assistant General Manager - Salem Operations" position has been deleted in the recent reorganization.
Other changes to the SORC composition are being made to assure that SORC meetings provide for equitable representation of the Salem station departments. By placing restrictions on the use of alternate members and quorum composition, the proposed change will require that at least three departments are represented in the voting quorum for any given SORC meeting .
NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2
- 11. The SORC responsibilities of Specification 6.5.1.6 are being revised to delete references to internal distribution of reports, which is addressed more appropriately in other sections. For example, Specification 6.5.1.9 addresses distribution of SORC meeting minutes to the General Manager - QA and Nuclear Safety Review and to the Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer; 6.5.2 addresses the Nuclear Safety Department's review responsibilities; 6.5.3 addresses review and control of activities in general. Therefore, references to SORC interfaces with other Nuclear Department entities are being removed from Specification 6.5.1.6.
Specifications 6.5.1.6(a) and 6.5.3.2(d) are being revised to reflect PSE&G's intention to discontinue use of the significant safety issue determination in favor of consolidating the procedure revision screening and review process under the requirements of 10CFR50.59.
Current Specifications 6.5.1.6(k) and 6.5.1.6(1) require SORC review of all changes to the Emergency Plan and Fire Protection Program Plan, respectively, and their implementing procedures. The proposed change is intended to waive SORC review if the revisions are not safety significant. This will eliminate unnecessary SORC reviews of revisions that are editorial or are otherwise insignificant with respect to safety.
- 12. Section 6.5.2 currently describes the Onsite Safety Review Group (SRG) as consisting of the Manager - Onsite Safety Review and four dedicated, full time engineers.
Since the SRG actually consists of the Onsite Safety Review Engineer and three dedicated, full time engineers, PSE&G recently received an NRC violation for changing the SRG without prior Commission approval (Inspection Report 50-272/89-03, 50-311/89-03).
The Onsite Safety Review Engineer currently has review as well as management responsibilities within the Onsite Safety Review Group (SRG), thereby justifying, in part, a reduction in SRG staffing level. However, PSE&G is proposing to replace the position of Manager - Offsite Safety Review with that of Manager - Nuclear Safety, who will have management responsibility for both the Onsite Safety Review Group (SRG) and the Offsite Safety Review staff (OSR). In this proposed configuration the SRG and OSR staff will each consist of at least four full time dedicated engineers.
- 13. The revision to Specification 6.5.2.3 provides more NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 flexibility to the Nuclear Safety Department with regard to the use of outside consultants/experts. Per Specification 6.5.2.2, reviewers from organizations external to the Nuclear Safety Department are required to meet the same qualification requirements as the OSR staff.
The miscellaneous activities at the end of Specification 6.5.2.4.1 are actually the responsibility of the Onsite Safety Review Group. Since 6.5.2.4.1 pertains to the OSR staff, those activities are being deleted.
Specification 6.5.2.4.2(g) is being revised to indicate that OSR review of anticipated deficiencies includes aspects of design or operation that may not necessarily be classified as safety related but may still affect nuclear safety.
- 14. The revision to Specification 6.5.2.4.3(i) provides more specific information regarding the personnel who perform the fire protection audits.
- 15. The record requirements currently described for Nuclear Safety Review are relevant to Offsite Safety Review activities in particular. Relaxing the time constraints for internal distribution of the results of reviews performed per Specification 6.5.2.4 and audit reports performed by consultants will provide schedular flexibility in report preparation without compromising management oversight of the audit and review process.
- 16. "NSR" is being replaced by "the OSR staff" in Section 6.5.3 because the 10CFR50.59 review activities described therein are performed specifically by the Offsite Safety Review (OSR) staff, which is part of the Nuclear Safety Department.
- 17. The changes are administrative in nature and are consistent with Generic Letter 83-43 where applicable.
References to the initial submittal of the Annual report are being deleted since the reports have already been submitted for each Salem unit.
- 18. See change number 4 above. High primary coolant specific activity is no longer classified as a REPORTABLE OCCURRENCE; it will be reported on an annual basis consistent with Generic Letter 85-19.
- 19. 10CFR50.73(g) states that "The requirements contained in this section replace all existing requirements for Licensees to report REPORTABLE OCCURRENCES as defined in NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 individual plant Technical Specifications." Therefore, since Specifications 6.9.1.7, 6.9.1.8 and 6.9.1.9 are superceded, they are being deleted.
- 20. This revision provides more specific information on radiological sampling location maps. Dedicating one map to locations near the site boundary and another to include all locations assures that the maps will be scaled such that they are legible. This change also provides an editorial correction by deleting a footnote that was inadvertently included in Specification 6.9.1.7.
- 21. The Radial Peaking Factor (F ) Limit Report is currently required to be subffiKtted to the NRC sixty days prior to the date the limit would become effective. In order to provide schedular flexibility in the fuel cycle licensing process, this change proposes allowing report submittal thirty days after the limit has become effective.
Surveil.lances performed on Fx confirm the acceptability of.the corresponding heat flu~ hot channel factor (F 0 )
values. The F limits are determined prior to restart (i.e., in conjfi~ction with the Reload Safety Evaluation). Furthermore, since the report is submitted on an information only basis and not for NRC approval, changing the reporting schedule constitutes a purely administrative change.
- 22. "Reportable Event" is phraseology consistent with Generic Letter 83-43 and 10CFR50.73.
Currently, records of reactor tests and experiments are addressed in both Section 6.10.l and 6.10.2. Removing it from Section 6.10.1 eliminates redundancy and does not lessen the record storage commitment.
- 23. "OSR" is the applicable group in the current organizational configuration; the Nuclear Review Board no longer exists.
- 24. Basing an area's radiation level on measurement 18 inches from the radiation source provides a uniform means of measurement consistent with that of the Hope Creek station. "Radiation Protection" personnel and "Senior Nuclear Shift Supervisor" are the applicable titles in the current organizational configuration.
When a high radiation area is established for a short period of time (i.e., 30 days or less), it is often more NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 practical to control the area using direct surveillance than to erect a barricade surrounding the area. This approach is consistent with 10CFR20.203(c) (4).
- 25. "Updated Final Safety Analysis Report" (UFSAR) is the document relevant to Section 6.15.1.
- 26. Salem Unit l's compliance with Environmental Qualification commitments is documented via docketed correspondence, and references to past deadlines for compliance are not necessary.
III. Justification for the Proposed Change The changes proposed in this LCR may be categorized and justified as follows:
- a. Changes to comply with Generic Letter 83-43 (item nos.
1,3,5,17,19,22). These changes are consistent with the guidance provided in the Generic Letter. They are intended to reflect compliance with the universally adopted reporting requirements of 10CFR50.72 and 10CFR50.73, and are administrative in nature *
- b. Changes related to PSE&G's organizational configuration, which reflect titular changes, changes in management responsibility, changes to the SORC and those which supplement LCR 88-07 (item nos. 7,8,9,10,ll,12,16,23).
This category is administrative in nature and does not adversely impact management attentiveness to safe operation of the Salem Generating Station. The recent reorganization of PSE&G's Nuclear Department is intended to increase overall management effectiveness, in some cases by consolidating oversight of related activities.
For example, fire brigade training and implementation of the fire protection pr~gram in general will now be administered by the same manager. Also, quality assurance and nuclear safety review and audit activities will both be under the direction of one general manager.
The Manager - Nuclear Safety will assume management responsibility of the Onsite Safety Review staff, thereby allowing the Onsite Safety Review Engineer to dedicate his efforts to review activities.
The changes to SORC composition and voting quorum requirements will increase the level of assurance that the various Station departments are adequately represented in the SORC quorum. By placing a two vote
- per department limit on the quorum and restricting the NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 use of alternates, at least three departments will comprise the quorum of each SORC meeting.
This category includes the proposed change to require SORC review for procedure changes and changes to the Emergency Plan and Fire Protection Program Plan only if a 10CFR50.59 safety evaluation is involved. This approach will consolidate the screening and review process for procedure changes by doing away with the significant safety issue determination currently in use at the Salem Generating Station. Screening for safety significance will be performed by determining 10CFR50.59 applicability (and 10CFR50.54(q) for Emergency Plan changes), which is consistent with NRC regulations regarding procedure changes (10CFR50.59 and 10CFR50.54).
- c. Changes consistent with Generic Letter 85-19, which help streamline reporting requirements by allowing high primary coolant activity to be reported annually rather than on a short term basis (item nos. 4,18). This category is consistent with the model Technical Specifications appended to Generic Letter 85-19.
- d. Change in the schedule for submitting the Radial Peaking Factor Limit Report (F ), which would prevent the report from becoming ax~onstraint on the restart schedule without affecting the development of the F limits or their use in assuring that F 0 provides th~y margin of safety required by the reloao safety evaluation (item nos. 2,21). A precedent for this change has been set via an amendment issued on the Shearon Harris docket (50-400) on August 16, 1988.
- e. Changes related to Radiation Protection and Radiological Monitoring (item nos. 6,20,24). PSE&G's current practice of preparing and submitting the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report includes the two sampling location maps explicitly described by the proposed change. This LCR clarifies the current practice, which is acceptable -to the NRC, in order to remove any ambiguity from the Technical Specifications.
Radiation measurement will be made at 18 inches from the source in order to utilize a consistent means for defining a radiation area, high radiation area, etc.
This approach is currently used at the Hope Creek Generating Station and is based on the minimum expected distance between the radiation source and the radiation worker, excluding extremities. Consistent with the practices used to keep exposures ALARA, identification
- of hot spots, shielding and minimization of exposure NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2
- time (especially at close distances) are used to reduce undue exposures.
The change to the method of preventing unauthorized access to high radiation areas established for thirty days or less is in direct compliance with 10CFR20.203(c) (4). The change is being requested in order to address those cases where it is more feasible to use direct surveillance, instead of a physical barrier, to provide access control.
Changes to reporting levels of radioactivity concentrations and lower limits of detection for the radiological environmental monitoring program are consistent with NUREG 0472, "Standard Radiological Environmental Technical Specifications for Pressurized Water Reactors", Revision 3, draft These changes propose allowing higher levels of tritium and I-131 if a drinking water pathway is not potentially affected by the effluent being monitored. The provisions of 40CFR141 will still be complied with where applicable.
- f. Changes to the description of Nuclear Safety Review (NSR) responsibilities (item nos. 12,13,14,15,16).
These changes include consolidating the management of the Offsite and onsite Safety Review Groups and revising the description of NSR activities to increase specificity and eliminate redundancy, and relaxing schedular constraints for internal distribution of audit reports. Changes in this category will not lessen the scope of NSR activities and will increase the effectiveness of the onsite Safety Review Group by allowing the Onsite Safety Review Engineer to dedicate his time to review activities, since the Manager -
Nuclear Safety will have management responsibility. None of the changes in this category will reduce the effectiveness of NSR review and audit functions. The relaxation of schedular requirements for internal distribution of audit reports will increase the time allotted for report preparation and review. Management oversight of the audit process will not be reduced, especially since any potentially significant findings requiring immediate attention may be brought to the attention of the Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer prior to formal issuance of the audit report.
- g. Changes deleting references to past deadlines and outdated requirements or documents are justified on the basis that they are largely editorial and provide clarification without reducing any commitments (item
- nos . 9 , 1 7 , 2 5 , 2 6) .
NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 IV. Significant Hazards Analysis Consideration The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications:
- 1. Do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Those proposed changes which are administrative in nature do not impact any accident analyses used to support operation of the Salem Nuclear Generating Stations. Furthermore, the proposed changes do not involve any reduction in management effectiveness, nor do they adversely affect the design or operation of any systems or components important to safety.
Consequently, the reliability of the performance of plant safety functions is not adversely affected.
The proposed changes to Section 3.4.8 of Unit 1 and 3.4.9 of Unit 2 delete the action statement requiring discontinuation of operation if primary coolant specific activity exceeds 1.0 µCi/g for 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> (or 10% of unit total annual operating time) during any 12 mQnth period.
The activity limits of Figure 3.4-1 and 100/E µCi/g will still apply. These limits are bounded by the assumptions used in the steam generator tube rupture accident analysis described in UFSAR Section 15.4.4, which bases primary coolant activity on 1% defective fuel cladding. Therefore, the Technical Specifications will continue to assure that the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> exclusion area dose in the event of a steam generator tube rupture accident analysis would be a small fraction of the 10CFRlOO limits.
Furthermore, deletion of the 800 hour0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> limit has been endorsed by the NRC in Generic Letter 85-19. The NRC's position is predicated on promulgation of 10CFR50.73 reporting requirements and improvements made in fuel management subsequent to initial development of the primary coolant specific activity limits. Generic Letter 85-19 states that "[l]icensees are expected to continue to monitor activity in the primary coolant and ..* maintain it at a reasonably low level (i.e., accumulated time with high iodine activity should not approach 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br />)". PSE&G recognizes the significance of coolant activity and will continue to monitor and control accumulated specific activity levels.
The proposed increases to the reporting levels of radioactivity and lower limits of detection for tritium and I-131 (Section 3/4.12) do not increase the probability or consequences of an accident. Since the current values are NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 based on 40CFR141 requirements for drinking water supplies, this proposed change revises those levels in cases where no drinking water pathways are potentially affected. The radiological environmental monitoring program will continue to implement Section IV.B to 10CFR50, Appendix I.
Therefore, it may be concluded that the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
The proposed changes do not adversely affect the design or operation of any systems or components important to safety.
No physical plant modifications or new operational configurations will result from these proposed changes.
Therefore, it may be concluded that the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
With the exception of the deletion of the 800 hour0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> limit on primary coolant specific activity and revision of radiological environmental monitoring parameters discussed in Section IV.1 above, the changes propose herein potentially affecting parameters defining margins of safety affect only their administrative aspects and do not allow for any reduction in a margin of safety. For example, the proposed changes to Specification 6.9.1.9 regarding F reporting requirements will not reduce the margin of §Kfety associated with the heat flux hot channel factor (F 0 ), since the same methodology will be used to define the acc~ptable limits.
The proposed change to specific activity limits do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The limits of Figure 3.4-1, which are bounded by the assumption of 1% defective fuel clad for the steam generator tube rupture accident analysis, will still apply. Also, the change has been endorsed by the NRC via Generic Letter 85-19.
The proposed change to the radiological environmental monitoring program do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The program will still implement Section IV.B to 10CFR50, Appendix I. The proposed change deletes radioactivity concentration values associated with 40CFR141 in cases where it is not applicable (i.e., no NLR-N89050 LCR 84-01 Revision 2 drinking water pathways are involved). Therefore, it may be concluded that the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
- v. Conclusions As discussed above, PSE&G has concluded that the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications do not involve a significant hazards consideration since the changes (i) do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, (ii) do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, and (iii) do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3/4.4.8 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the primary coolant ensure that the resulting 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> doses at the site boundary will not exceed an appropriately small fraction of Part 100 limits following a steam generator tube rupture accident in conjunction with an assumed steady state primary-to-secondary steam generator leakage rate of 1.0 GPM. The values for the limits on specific activity represent interim limits based upon a parametric evaluation by the NRG of typical site locations. These values are conservative in that specific site parameters of the Salem site, such as site boundary location and meteorological conditions, were not considered in this evaluation. The NRG is finalizing site specific criteria which will be used as the basis for the reevaluation of the specific activity limits of this site.
This reevaluation may result in higher limits.
Reducing T to <500°F prevents the release of activity should a steam generator tube ~~~ture since the saturation pressure of the primary coolant is below the lift pressure of the atmospheric steam relief valves. The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific activity levels in the primary coolant will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action. Information obtained on iodine spiking will be used to assess the parameters associated with spiking phenomena. A reduction in frequency of isotopic analyses following power changes may be permissible if justified by the data obtained .

When an FQmeasurement is taken, an allowance for both experimental error and manufacturing tolerance must be made. An allowance of 5% is appropriate for a full core map taken with the i~core detector flux mapping system and a 3i allowance is appropriate for manufacturing tolerance. When RCS flow rate and F~R are measured, no additional allowances are necessary prior to comparison with the limits of Figure 3.2-3. Measu~ement errors of 3.5% for RCS total flow rate and 4% for F~R have been allowed for in detennination of the design DNBR

The values for the limits on specific activity represent interim limits based upon a parametric evaluation by the NRC of typical site lo.cations. These values are conservative in that specific site parameters of the Salem site, such as site boundary location and meteorological conditions, were not considered in this evaluation. The NRC is finalizing site specific criteria which will be used as the basis for the reevaluation of the specific activity limits of this site. This reevaluation may result in higher limits.

The reporting of cumulative time 0*1er SOO hours in any a month consecutive period with greater than 1.0 µCi/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 will allow sufficient time for Commission evaluation of the circumstances prior to reaching the

Reducing T v to less than S00°F prevents the release of activity should a steam generat8r9tube rupture since the saturation pressure of the primary coolant is below the lift pressure of the atmospheric steam relief valves.
The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific activity levels in the primary coolant will be detected in suffi-cient time to take corrective action. Information obtained on iodine spiking will be used to a*ssess the parameters associated with spiking phenomena. A reduction in frequency of isotopic analyses following power changes may be permissible if justified by the data obtained.

The penalties applied to F H to account for Rod Bow (Figure 3.2-4) as a function of burnup are consistent with those described in Mr. John F. Stolz's (NRG) letter to T. M. Anderson (Westinghouse) dated April 5, 1979 and W 8691 Rev. 1 (partial rod bow test data). When an FQ measurement is taken, an allowance for both experimental error and manufacturing tolerance must be made. An allowance of 5% is appropriate for a full core map taken with the incore detector flux mapping system and a 3% allowance is appropriate for manufacturing tolerance. When RCS flow rate and F H are measured, no additional allowances are necessary prior to comparison with the limits of Figure 3.2-3. Measurement errors of 3.5% for RCS total flow rate and 4% for F H have been allowed for in determination of the design DNBR value.

The values for the limits on specific activity represent interim limits based upon a parametric evaluation by the NRG of typical site locations. These values are conservative in that specific site parameters of the Salem site, such as site boundary location and meteorological conditions, were not considered in this evaluation. The NRG is finalizing site specific criteria which will be used as the basis for the reevaluation of the specific activity limits of this site. This reevaluation may result in higher limits.
Reducing T to less than 500°F prevents the release of activity should a steam generat3~gtube rupture since the saturation pressure of the primary coolant is below the lift pressure of the atmospheric steam relief valves. The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific activity levels in the primary coolant will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action. Information obtained on iodine spiking will be used to assess the parameters associated with spiking phenomena. A reduction in frequency of isotopic analyses following power changes may be permissible if justified by the data obtained .

6.11 RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAM Procedures for personnel radiation protection shall be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure. 6.12 HIGH RADIATION AREA 6.12.1 In lieu of the "control device" or "alarm signal" required by paragraph 20.203(c)(2) of 10 CFR Part 20, each high radiation area in which the int*nsity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem/hr but less than 1000 mremjhr shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a High Radiation Area and en~*ance thereto shall be controlled by issuance of a Radiation Exposure Permit . If the high radiation area is established for a period of 30 days or less, direct surveillance to prevent unauthorized entry may be used instead of the access controls described above, per 10CFR20.203(c)(2)(iii)(4). Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shall be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the following:
- a. A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area.
- This is normally defined as the level at a distance of 18 inches from the source or accessible surface.
- Radiation Protection personnel or personnel escorted by Radiation Protection personnel shall be exempt from the RWP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned radiation protection duties, provided that they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into high radiation areas.
SALEM - UNIT 2 6-25 Amendment No. ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS HIGH RADIATION AREA (continued)
- b. A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received. Entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate level in the area has been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them.
- c. A health physics qualified individual (i.e., qualified in radiation protection procedures) with a radiation dose rate monitoring device who is responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the Radiation Work Permit.
6.12.2 In addition to the requirements of 6.12.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose greater than 1000 mrem shall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the Senior Nuclear Shift Supervisor on duty and/or Senior Supervisor - Radiation Protection. Doors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved Radiation Work Permit which shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work area and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area. For individual areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose in excess of 1000 mrem that are located within large areas, such as PWR containment, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and no enclosure can be reasonable constructed around the individual areas, then that area shall be roped off, conspicuously posted and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device. In lieu of the stay time specification of the RWP, direct or remote (such as use of closed circuit TV cameras) continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities within the area. 6.13 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP) 6.13.l The PCP shall be approved by the Commission prior to implementation. 6.13.2 Licensee initiated changes to the PCP:
