1.8.1 All containment vessel penetrations required to be closed during accident conditions are either:

a. Capable of being closed by an OPERABLE containment automatic isolation valve system, or
b. Closed by manual valves, blind flanges, or deactivated automatic valves secured in their closed position except as provided in Table 3.6-2 of Specification 3.6.3.1, t

1.8.2 All containment vessel equipment hatches are closed and

,. sealed, 1.8.3 Each containment vessel airlock is OPERABLE pursuant to Specification 3.6.1.3, and 1.8.4 The containment leakage rates are within the limits of Specification 3.6.1.2.

CHANNEL CALIBRATION 1.9 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 sensor and alarm and/or trip functions, and shall include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by any series of sequen-tial, overlapping or total channel steps such that the entire channel is calibrated.

CHANNEL CHECK 1.10 A CHANNEL CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment 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.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 1-2

DEFINITIONS 1.11 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.

CORE ALTERATION 1.12 CORE ALTERATION shall be the movement or manipulation of any component within the reactor pressure vessel with the vessel head removed and fuel in the vessel. Suspension of CORE ALTERATION shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe conservative position.

SHUTDOWN MARGIN 1.13 SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be the instantaneous amount of reactivity by which the reactor is or would be subcritical from its present condition assuming:

a ~ All full length control element assemblies (shutdown and regulating) are fully inserted except for the single assembly of highest reactivity worth which is assumed to be fully withdrawn, and

b. No change in part length control element assembly position.

IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE 1.14 IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE shall be:

a. Leakage (except CONTROLLED LEAKAGE) into closed systems, such as pump seal or valve packing leaks that are captured, and conducted to a sump or collecting tank, or 2
b. Leakage into the containment atmosphere from sources that are both specifically located and known either not to interfere with the operation of leakage detection systems or not to be PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE, or

BASES FOR SECTION 2.0 SAFETY LIMITS AND LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS

2.1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.1 REACTOR CORE The restrictions of this safety limit prevent overheating of the fuel cladding and possible cia'dding perforation which would result in the re-lease of, fission products to the reactor coolant. Overheating of the fuel is prevented by maintaining the steady state peak linear hear rate at or less than 21 kw/ft. Centerline fuel melting will not occur for this peak linear heat rate. Overheating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the heat transfer coefficient is large and the claddin'g surface temperature's slightly above the coolant saturation temperature.

Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime could result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer coefficient. DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during operation and therefore THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temper-ature and Pressure have been related to DNB through the W-3 correlation.

The W-3 DNB correlation has been developed to predict the DNB flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux dis-tributions. The local DNB heat flux ratio, DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is indicative of the margin to DNB.

The minimum value of the DNBR during steady state operation, normal operational transients, and anticipated transients is limited to 1.30.

This value corresponds to a 95 percent probability at a 95 percent con-fidence level that DNB will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DNB for all operating conditions.

The curve's of Figure 2.1-1 show the loci of points of THERMAL POWER, Reactor Coolant System pressure and maximum cold leg temperature with four Reactor Coolant Pumps operating for which the minimum DNBR is no less than 1.30 for the family of axial shapes and corresponding radial peaks shown in Figure B 2.1-1. The limits in Figure 2.1-1 were cal-culated for reactor coolant inlet temperatures less than or equal to 580'F. The dashed line at 580'F coolant inlet temperature is not a safety limit; however, operation above 580'F is not possible because of the actuation of the main steam line safety valves which limit the maximum value of reactor inlet temperature. Reactor operation at THERMAL POWER levels higher than,ll2Ã of RATED THERMAL POWER is 'pro-hibited by the high power level trip setpoint specified in Table 2.1-1.

The area of safe operation is below and to-the left of these lines.

SAFETY LIMITS BASES The conditions for the Thermal Margin Safety Limit curves in Figure 2.1-1 to be valid are shown on the figure.

The reactor protective'system in combination with, the Limiting Condi-tions for Operation, is designed to prevent any anticipated combination of transient conditions for reactor coolant system temperature, pressure, and thermal power level that would result in a DNBR of less than 1.30 and preclude the existence of flow instabilities.

2.1.2 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE The restriction of this Safety Limit protects the integrity of the Reactor Coolant System from overpressurization and thereby prevents the release of radionuclides contained in the reactor coolant from reaching the containment atmosphere.

The reactor pressure vessel and pressurizer are designed to Section III of the ASME Code for Nuclear Power Plant components which permits a maximum transient pressure of 1105 (2750 psia) of design pressure. The Reactor Coolant System piping, valves and fittings, are designed to ANSI B 31.7, Class I which permits a maximum transient pressure of 110Ã (2750 psia) of component design pressure. The Safety Limit of 2750 psia is therefore consistent with the design criteria and associated code'equirements.

The entire Reactor Coolant System is hydrotested at 3125 psia to demonstrate integrity prior to initial operation.

ST. LUCI E - UNIT 1 8 2-3

2.2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SETPOINTS The Reactor Trip Setpoints specified in Table 2.2-1 are the values at which the Reactor Trips are set for each parameter. The Trip Values have been selected to ensure that the reactor core and reactor coolant system are prevented from exceeding their safety limits. Operation with a trip set less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that each Allowable Value is equal to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

Manual Reactor Tri The Manual Reactor Trip is a redundant channel to the automatic protective instrumentation channels and provides manual reactor trip capability.

Power Level-Hi h The Power Level-High trip provides reactor core protection against reactivity excursions which are too rapid to be protected by a Pressurizer Pressure-High or Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip.

The Power Level-High trip setpoint is operator adjustable and can be set no higher than 9.61% above the indicated THERMAL POWER level.

Operator action is required to increase the trip setpoint as THERMAL POWER is increased. The trip setpoint is automatically decreased as THERMAL POWER decreases. The trip setpoint has a maximum value of 106.5'A of RATED THERMAL POWER and a minimum setpoint of 15% of RATED THERMAL POWER. Adding to this maximum value the possible variation in trip point due to calibration and instrument errors, the maximum actual steady-state THERMAL POWER level at which a trip would be actuated is 1125 of RATED THERMAL POWER, which is the value used in the safety analyses.

Reactor Coolant Flow-Low The Reactor Coolant Flow-Low trip provides core protection to prevent DNB in the event of a sudden significant decrease in reactor coolant flow. Provisions have been made in the reactor protective system to permit operation of the reactor at reduced power if one or two ST. LUCI E - UNIT 1 B 2-4

2.2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Reactor Coolant Flow-Low (Continued) reactor coolant pumps are taken out of service. The low-flow trip setpoints and Allowable Values for the various reactor coolant pump combinations have been derived in consideration of instrument errors and response times of equipment involved to maintain the DNBR above 1.30 under normal operation and expected transients. For reactor operation with only two or three reactor coolant pumps operating, the Reactor Coolant Flow-Low trip setpoints, the Power Level-High trip setpoints, and the Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip setpoints are automatically changed when the pump condition selector switch is manually set to the desired two- or three-pump position. Changing these trip setpoints during two and three pump operation prevents the minimum value of DNBR from going below 1.30 during normal operational transients and anticipated transients when only two or three reactor coolant pumps are operating.

Pressurizer Pressure-Hi h The Pressurizer Pressure-High trip, backed up by the pressurizer code safety valves and main steam line safety valves, provides reactor coolant system protection against overpressurization in the event of loss of load without reactor trip. This trip s setpoint is 100 psi below the hominal setting (2500 psia) of the pressurizer code safety valves and its 'ift concurrent operation with the power-operated relief valves avoids the undesirable operation of the pressurizer code safety valves.

Containment Pressure-Hi h The Containment Pressure-High trip provides assurance that a reactor trip in initiated concurrently with a .safety injection.

Steam Generator Pressure-Low The Steam Generator Pressure-Low trip provides protection against an excessive rate of heat extraction from the steam generators and sub-sequent cooldown of the reactor coolant. The setting of 485 psig is sufficiently below the full-load operating point of 800 psig so as not ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 2-5

LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Steam Generator Pressure-Low (Continued) to interfere with normal operation, but still high enough to provide the required 'protection in the event of excessively high steam flow. This setting was'sed with an uncer'tainty factor of + 22 psi in the accident analyses.

Steam Generator Water Level The Steam Generator Water Level-Low trip pr'ovides core protection by, preventing operation with the steam generator water level below the minimum volume required for adequate heat removal capacity and assures that the design pressure of the reactor coolant system will not be exceeded. The specified setpoint provides allowance that there will be sufficient water.

inventory in the steam generators at the time of trip to provide a margin of more than 10 minutes before auxiliary feedwater is required.

Local Power Densit -Hi h The local Power Density-High trip is provided to prevent the peak local power density in the fuel from exceeding 21 kw/ft during steady state operation thereby assuring that the melting point of the UOz fuel will not be reached. A value of 21 kw/ft is well below the value corresponding to fuel centerline melting.

A reactor trip is initiated whenever the AXIAL SHAPE INDEX exceeds the allowable limits of Figure 2.2-2. The AXIAL SHAPE INDEX is cal-culated from the upper and lower ex-core neutron detector channels. The calculated setpoints are generated as a function of THERMAL POWER level with'he CEA group position being inferred from the THERMAL POWER level.

The trip is automatically bypassed below 15 percent power .

The maximum AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT and maximum CEA misalignment per-mitted for continuous operation are assumed in generation of the set-points. In addition, CEA group sequencing in accordance with the Specifications 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 is assumed. Finally, the maximum insertion of CEA banks which can occur during any anticipated operational occurrence prior to a Power Level-High trip is assumed.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 2-6

LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Thermal Mar in Low Pressure The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip is provided to prevent operation when the DNBR is less than 1.30,'or when a void fraction limit is exceeded which could result in local flow instability.

The trip is initiated whenever the reactor coolant system pressure signal drops below either 1750 psia or a computed value as described below, whichever is higher. The computed value is a function of the higher of aT power or neutron power, reactor inlet temperature, the number of reactor coolant pumps operating and the AXIAL SHAPE INDEX. The minimum value of reactor coolant flow rate, the maximum AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT and the maximum CEA deviation permitted for continuous operation are assumed in the generation of this trip function. In addition, CEA group sequencing in accordance with Specifications 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 is assumed. Finally, the maximum insertion of CEA banks which can occur during any anticipated operational occurrence prior to a Power Level-High trip is assumed.

The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip setpoints are derived from the core safety limits through application of appropriate allowances for equipment response time measurement uncertainties and processing error.

A safety margin is provided which includes: an allowance of 55 of RATED THERMAL POWER to compensate for potential power measurement error; an allowance of 2'F to compensate for potential temperature measure-ment uncertainty; and a further allowance of 47 psia to compensate for pressure measurement error, trip system processing error, and time delay associated with providing effective termination of the occurrence that exhibits the most rapid decrease in margin to the safety limit. The 47 psia allowance is made up of a 22 psia pressure measurement allow-ance, a 5 psia trip system processing allowance and a 20 psia time delay allowance.

Loss of Turbine A Loss of Turbine trip causes a direct reactor trip when operating above 15K of RATED THERMAL POWER. This trip provides turbine protection, reduces the severity of the ensuing transient and helps avoid the lifting of the main steam line safety valves during the ensuring transient, thus extending the service life of these valves. No credit was taken in the accident analyses for operation of this trip. Its functional capability at the specified trip setting is required to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Protection System.

BASES FOR SECTIONS 3.0 AND 4.0 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS

1 3/4. 0 APPLICABILITY BASES The specifications of this section provide the general requirements applicable to each of the Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveil-lance Requirements within Section 3/4.

3.0.1 This specification states the applicability of each specifi-cation in terms of defined OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions and is provided to delineate specifically when each specification is applicable.

3.0.2 This specification defines those conditions necessary to constitute compliance with the terms of an individual Limiting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION requirement, 3.0.3 This specification delineates the ACTION to be taken for circumstances not directly provided for in the ACTION statements and whose occurrence would violate the intent of the specification. For example, Specification 3.5.1 calls for each Reactor Coolant System safety injection tank to be OPERABLE and provides explicit ACTION requirements when one safety injection tank is inoperable. Under the terms of Specification 3.0.3', if more than one safety injection tank is inoperable, the facility is required to be in at least HOT STANDBY within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

3.0.4 This specification provides that entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicability condition must be made with (a) the full complement of required systems, equipment or components OPERABLE and (b) all other parameters as specified in the Limiting Conditions for Operation being met without regard for allowable deviations and out of service provisions contained in the ACTION statements.

The intent of this provisio'n is to insure that, facility operation is not initiated with either required equipment or systems inoperable or other specified limits being exceeded.

Exceptions to this provision have been provided for a limited number of specifications when startup with inoperable equipment would not affect plant safety. These exceptions are stated in the ACTION statements of the appropriate specifications.

ST. LUG IE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-1

APPLICABILITY BASES 4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necessary to insure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during the OPERATIONAL NODES or other conditions for which the Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable. Provisions for additional surveillance activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERATIONAL NODES or other conditions are provided in the individual Surveillance Requirements.

4.0.2 The provisions of this specification provide allowable tolerances for performing surveillance activities beyond those specified in the nominal surveillance interval. These tolerances are necessary to provide operational flexibility because of scheduling and performance considerations.

The tolerance values, taken either individually or consecutively over 3 test intervals, are sufficiently restrictive to ensure that the reliability associated with the surveillance activity is not signifi-cantly degraded beyond that obtained from the nominal specified interval.

4.0.3 The provisions of this specification set forth the criteria for determination of compliance with the OPERABILITY requirements of the Conditions for Operation. Under this criteria, equipment, if

'imiting systems or components are assumed to be OPERABLE the associated surveillance activities have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval. Nothing in this provision is to be construed as defining equipment, systems or components OPERABLE, when such items are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveil-lance Requirements.

4.0.4 This specification ensures that the surveillance activities associated with a .Limiting Condition for Operation have been'performed within the specified time interval prior to entry into an OPERATIONAL NODE or other applicable condition. The intent of this provision is to ensure that surveillance activities have been satisfactorily demonstrated on a current basis as required to meet the OPERABILITY requirement of the Limiting Condition for Operation.

Under the terms of this specification, for example, during initial plant startup or following extended plant outages, the applicable surveillance activities must be performed within the stated surveillance interval prior to placing or returning the system or equipment into status.

3/4.1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.1 BORATION CONTROL 3/4.1.1.1 and 3/4.1.1.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that 1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, 2) the reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and 3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.

SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout cor'e life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T . The most restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with T at no )Iced operating temperature, and is associated with a postu'flied steam line break accident and resulting uncontrolled RCS cooldown. In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 2.45K a,k/k is initially required to control the reactivity transient. Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN required by Specification 3.1.1.1 is based upon this limiting condition and is con-sistent with FSAR accident analysis assumptions. For earlier periods during the fuel cycle, this value is conservative. With T < 200'F, the reactivity transients resulting from any postulated ac83ent are minimal and a 1/ a,k/k shutdown margin provides adequate protection.

3/4.1.1.3 BORON DILUTION AND ADDITION A minimum flow rate of at least 3000 GPM provides adequate mixing, prevents strati fication and ensures that reactivity changes will be gradual during boron concentration changes in the Reactor Coolant System.

A flow rate of at least 3000 GPM will circulate an equivalent Reactor Coolant System volume of 11,400 cubic feet in approximately 26 minutes.

The reactivity change rate associated with boron concentration changes will be within the capability for operator recognition and control.

3/4.1.1.4 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT MTC The limiting values assumed for the MTC used in the accident and transient analyses were + 0.5 x 10 " ak/k/'F for THERMAL POWER levels

< 70% of RATED THERMAL POWER, + 0.2 x 10 4 ak k/'F for THERMAL POWER Tevels > 705 of RATED THERMAL and 2.5 x 10 ak/k/'F at RATED THERMAL POWER. Therefore, these limiting values are included in this specification.

Determination of MTC at the specified conditions ensures that the maximum positive and/or negative values of the MTC will not exceed the limiting values.

ST. LUG IE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-1

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.1. 5 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY The MTC is expected to be slightly negative at operating conditions.

However, at the beginning of the fuel cycle, the MTC may be slightly positive at operating conditions and since it will become more positive at lower temperatures, this specification is provided to restrict reactor operation when T avg is significantly below the normal operating temperature.

3 4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS The boron injection system ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility oper ation, The components required to perform this function include 1) borated water sources, 2) charging pumps, 3) separate flow paths, 4) boric acid pumps, 5) associated heat tracing systems, and 6) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators.

With the RCS average temperature above 200'F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the systems inoperable. Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that minor component repair or corrective action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period.

The bor ation capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from all operating conditions of. l.OX ak/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F. The maximum boration capability requirement occurs at EOL from full power equilibrium xenon conditions and requires 3,478 gallons of 8.0Ã boric acid solution from the boric acid tanks or 59,000 gallons of 1720 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank.

The requirements for a minimum=contained volume of 371,800 gallons of borated water in the refueling water tank ensures the capability for borating the RCS to the desired level. The specified quantity of borated water is consistent with the ECCS requirements of Specification 3.5.4. Therefore, the larger volume of borated water is specified here too.

With the RCS temperature below 200'F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restric-tions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.

ST. LUCI E - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-2

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS Continued The boron capability required below 200'F is based upon providing a 1Ã hk/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN at 140'F during refueling with all full and part length control rods withdrawn. This condition requires either 5,650 gallons of 8.0/ boric acid solution from the boric acid tanks or 100,000 gallons of 1720 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank.

3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES The specifications of this section ensure that (1) acceptable power distribution limits are maintained, (2) the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN is maintained, and (3) the potential effects of a CEA ejection accident are limited to acceptable levels.

The ACTION statements which permit limited variations from the basic requirements are accompanied by additional restrictions which ensure that the original criteria are met.

The ACTION statements applicable to an immovable or untrippable CEA and to a large misalignment (> 15 inches) of two or more CEAs, require a prompt shutdown of the reactor since either of these conditions may be indicative of a possible loss of mechanical functional capability of the CEAs and in the event of a stuck or untrippable CEA, the loss of SHUTDOWN MARGIN.

For small misalignments (( 15 inches) of the CEAs, there is 1) a small degradation in the peaking factors relative to those assumed in generating LCOs and LSSS setpoints for DNBR and, linear heat rate, 2) a small effect on the time dependent long term power distributions relative to those used in generating LCOs and LSSS setpoints for DNBR and linear heat rate, 3) a small effect on the available SHUTDOWN MARGIN, and 4) a small effect on the ejected CEA worth used in the safety analysis. Therefore, the ACTION statement associated, with the small misalignment of a CEA permits a one hour time interval during which attempts may be made to restore the CEA to within its alignment requirements prior to initiating a reduction in THERMAL POWER. The one hour time limit is sufficient to (1) identify causes of a misaligned CEA, (2) take appropriate corrective action to realign the CEAs and (3) minimize the effects of xenon redistribution.

Overpower margin is provided to protect the core in the event of a large misalignment (> 15 inches) of a CEA. However, this misalignment would cause distortion of the core power distribution. The reactor ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-3

REACTIVITIY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES Continued I

protective system would not detect the degradation in radial peaking factors and since variations in other system parameters (e.g., pressure and coolant temperature) may not be sufficient to cause trips, it is possible that the reactor could be operating with process variables less conservative than those assumed in generating LCO and LSSS setpoints.

Therefore, the ACTION statement associated with the large misalignment of a CEA requires a prompt and significant reductiog in THERMAL POWER prior to attempting realignment of the misaligned CEA.

The ACTION statements applicable to misaligned or inoperable CEAs include requirements to align the OPERABLE CEAs in a given group with the inoperable CEA. Conformance with these alignment requirements bring the core, within a short period of time, to a configuration consistent with that assumed in generating LCO and LSSS setpoints. However, extended operation with CEAs significantly inserted in the core may lead to perturbations in 1) local burnup, 2) peaking factors and 3) available shutdown margin which are more adverse than the conditions assumed to exist in the safety analyses and LCO and LSSS setpoints determination.

Therefore, time limits have been imposed on operation with inoperable CEAs to preclude such adverse conditions from developing.

Operability of the CEA position indicators (Specification 3.1.3.3) is required to determine CEA positions and thereby ensure compliance with the CEA alignment and insertion limits and ensures proper operation of the rod block circuit. The CEA "Full In" and "Full Out" limits provide an additional independent means for determining the CEA positions. when the CEAs are at either their fully inserted or fully withdrawn positions.

Therefore, the ACTION statements applicable to inoperable CEA position indicators permit continued operations when the positions of CEAs with inoperable position indicators can be, verified by the "Full In" or "Full Out" limits.

CEA positions and OPERABILITY of the CEA position indicators are required to be verified on a nominal basis of once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> with more frequent verifications required if an automatic monitoring channel is inoperable. These verification frequencies are adequate for assuring that the applicable LCO's are satisfied.

The maximum CEA drop time permitted by Specification 3.1.3.4 is the assumed CEA drop time of 3.3 seconds used in the accident analyses.

Measurement with Tav > 515'F and with all reactor coolant pumps operating ensures that the measured drop times will be representative of insertion times experienced during a reactor trip at operating conditions.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/41-4

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES Continued The LSSS setpoints and the power distribution LCOs were generated based upon a core burnup which would be achieved with the core operating in an essentially unrodded configuration. Therefore, the CEA insertion limit specifications require that during MODES 1 and 2, the full length CEAs and par t length CEAs be nearly fully withdrawn. The amount of CEA .

insertion permitted by the Long Term Steady State Insertion Limits of Specification 3.1.3.6 will not have a significant effect upon the un-rodded burnup assumption but will still provide sufficient reactivity control. The Power Dependent Insertion Limits of Specification 3.1.3.6 are provided to ensure that (1) acceptable power distribution limits are maintained, (2) the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN is maintained, and (3) the potential effects of a CEA ejection accident are limited to acceptable levels; however, long term operation at, these insertion limits could have adverse effects on core power distribution during subsequent operation in an unrodded configuration.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES TOTAL RADIAL PEAKING FACTOR - FAND AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT - T (continued)

ACTION statements since these additional restrictions provide adequate provisions to assure that the assumptions used in establishing the DNB Margin, Linear Heat Rate, Thermal Margin/Low Pressure and Local Power Density - High LCOs and LSSS setpoints remain valid. An AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT ) 0.10 is not expected and if it should occur, subsequent operation would be restricted to only those operations required to identify the cause of this unexpected tilt.

The value of T that must be used in the equat'ion F r

The surveillance requirements for verifying that Fr and T , are within their limits provide assurance that the ac)ual values ot FTr and Tq do not exceed the assumed values. Verifying Fr after each fuel I

loading prior to exceeding 75K of RATED THERMAL POWER provides additional assurance that the core was properly loaded.

3/4.2.4 FUEL RESIDENCE TIME The limitation on fuel burnup during the initial fuel cycle-ensures that fuel cladding, collapse will not occur. Performance data from sirplar fuel rods and analyses of the installed fuel rods show that cladding g~

collapse will not occur until well beyond the proposed first cycle of operation which is about 11,200-12,000 Effective Full Power Hours. How-ever, operation beyond the first cycle will require further analyses.

3/4.2.5 DNB PARAMETERS The limits on the DNB related parameters assure that each of the parameters are maintained within the normal steady state envelope of operation assumed in the transient and accident analyses. The limits are consistent with the initial FSAR assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain a minimum DNBR of 1.30 throughout each analyzed transient.

3/4.3.3.2 INCORE DETECTORS The OPERABILITY of the incore detectors with the specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this system accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core.

3/4.3.3. 3 SEISMIC INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the seismic instrumentation ensures that suffi-cient capbility is available to promptly determine the magnitude of a seismic event and evaluate the response of those features important to safety. This capability is required to permit comparison of the measured response to that used in the design basis for the facility.

3/4.3.3.4. METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures that sufficient meteorological data is available for estimating potential radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere.

February 1972.

3/4.3.3.5 REMOTE SHUTDOWN INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the remote shutdown instrumentation ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit shutdown and maintenance of HOT SHUTDOWN of the facility from locations outside of the control room.

3 4.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3/4.4.1 REACTOR COOLANT LOOPS The plant is designed to operate with both reactor coolant loops and associated reactor coolant pumps in operation, and maintain DNBR above 1.30 during all normal operations and anticipated transients. STARTUP and POWER OPERATION may be initiated and may proceed with one or two reactor coolant pumps not in operation after the setpoints for the Power Level-High, Reactor Coolant Flow-Low, and Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trips have been reduced to their specified values. Reducing these trip setpoints ensures that the DNBR will be maintained above 1.30 during three pump operation and that during two pump operation the core void fraction will be limited to ensure parallel channel flow stability within the core and thereby prevent premature DNB.

A single reactor coolant loop with its steam generator filled above the low level trip setpoint provides sufficient heat removal capability for core cooling while in MODES 2 and 3; however, single failure consi-derations require plant cooldown if component repairs and/or corrective actions cannot be made within the allowable out-of-service time.

3 4.4.2 and 3 4.4.3 SAFETY VALVES The pressurizer code safety valves operate to prevent the RCS from being pressurized above its Safety Limit of 2750 psia. Each safety valve is designed to relieve 2 x 10 lbs per hour of saturated steam at. the valve setpoint. The relief capacity of a single safety valve is adequate to relieve any overpressure condition which could occur during shutdown. In the event that no safety valves are OPERABLE, an operating shutdown cooling loop, connected to the RCS, provides overpressure relief capa-bility and will prevent RCS overpressurization.

During operation, all pressurizer code safety valves must be OPERABLE to prevent the RCS from being pressurized above its safety limit of 2750 psia. The combined relief capacity of these valves is sufficient to limit the Reactor Coolant System pressure to within its Safety Limit of 2750 psia following a complete loss of turbine generator load while operating at RATED THERMA POWER and assuming no reactor trip until the first Reactor Protective System trip setpoint (Pressurizer Pressure-High) is reached (i.e., no credit is taken for a direct reactor trip on the loss of turbine) and also assuming no operation of the pressurizer power operated relief valve or steam dump valves.

ST. LUCIE UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-1

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES SAFETY VALVES Continued Demonstration of the safety"valves'ift settings will occur only during shutdown and will be performed in accordance with the provisions of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure 'Vessel Code, 1974 Edition.

3/4.4.4 PRESSURIZER A steam bubble in the pressurizer ensures that the RCS is not a hydraulically solid system and is capable of accommodating pressure surges during operation. The steam bubble also protects the pressuri zer code safety valves and power operated relief valve against water relief.

The power'perated relief valve and steam bubble function to relieve RCS pressure during all 'design transients. Operation of the power operated relief valve in conjunction with a reactor"trip on a Pressurizer--

Pressure-High signal, minimizes the undesirable opening of the spring-loaded pressurizer code safety valves.

3/4.4.5 STEAM GENERATORS One OPERABLE steam generator provides sufficient heat removal capa-bility to remove decay heat 'after a reactor shutdown. The requirement ;

for two steam generator s capable of removing decay heat, combined with the requirements of Specifications 3.7.1.1, .3.7.1.2 and 3.7.1.3 ensures adequate decay heat removal capabilities for RCS temperatures greater than 300'F if one steam generator becomes inoperable due to single failure considerations. Below 300'F, decay heat is removed, by

~

the shutdown cooling system.'The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure that the structural integrity 'of this portion of the RCS will be maintained. The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of .,Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision l. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain survei llance of the conditions of the tubes in the event that there is evidence of mechanical damage'r progressive degradation due to design, manufacturing errors, or inservice conditions that lead to corrosion. 'Inservice in'spection of steam general'or tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation so that corrective measures can be taken.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-2

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3/4.4.5 STEAN GENERATORS Continued The plant is expected to be operated in a manner such that the secondary coolant will be maintained within those parameter limits found to result in negligible corrosion of the steam generator tubes. If the secondary coolant chemistry is not maintained within these parameter limits, localized corrosion may likely result in stress corrosion cracking. The extent of cracking during plant operation would be limited by the limitation of steam generator tube leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-secondary leakage =

1 gallon per minute, total). Cracks having a primary-to-secondary leakage less than this limit, during operation wi 11 have an adequate margin of safety to withstand the loads imposed during normal operation and by postulated accidents. Operating plants have demonstrated that primary-to-secondary leakage of 1 gallon per minute can readily be detected by radiation monitors of steam generator blowdown. Leakage in excess of this limit will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be located and plugged.

Wastage-type defects are unlikely with the all volatile treatment (AVT) of secondary coolant. However, even if a defect of similar type should develop in service, it will be found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations. Plugging will be required of all tubes with imperfections exceeding the plugging limit which, by the definition of Specification 4.4.5.4.a is 40Ã of the tube nominal wall thickness. Steam generator tube inspections of operating plants have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that has penetrated 20K of the original tube wall thickness.

Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inservice inspection fall into Category C-3, these results will be promptly reported to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9. 1 prior to resumption of plant operation. Such cases will-be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tests, additional eddy-current inspection, and revision of the Technical Specifications, if necessary.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3/4.4.6 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE 3/4.4.6.1 LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEMS The RCS leakage detection systems required by this specification are provided to monitor and detect leakage from the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary. These detection systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.45, "Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection Systems", May 1973.

3/4.4.6.2 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE Industry experience has shown that while a limited amount of leakage is expected from the RCS, the unidentified portion of this leakage can be reduced to a threshold value of less than 1 GPM. This threshold value is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of additional leakage.

The 10 GPM IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limitation provides allowance for a limited amount of leakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere with the detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the leakage detection systems.

The total steam generator tube leakage limit of 1 GPM for all steam generators ensures that the dosage contribution from the tube leakage will be limited to a small fraction of Part 100 limits in the event of either a steam generator tube rupture or steam line break. The 1 GPM limit is consistent with the assumptions used in the analysis of these accidents.

PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE of any magnitude is unacceptable since it may be indicative of. an impending gross .failure of the pressure boundary.

Therefore, the presence of any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE requires the unit to be promptly placed in COLD SHUTDOWN.

3/4.4.7 CHEMISTRY The limitations on Reactor Coolant System chemistry ensure that corrosion of the Reactor Coolant System is minimized and reduce the potential for Reactor coolant System leakage or failure due to stress corrosion. Maintaining the chemistry within the Steady State Limits provides adequate corrosion protection to ensure the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System over the life of the plant. The associat-ed effects of exceeding the oxygen, chloride and fluoride limits are ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-4

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES time and temperature dependent. Corrosion studies show that operation may be continued with contaminant concentration levels in excess of the Steady State Limits, up to the Transient Limits, for the specified limited time intervals without having a significant effect on the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System. The time interval permitting continued operation within the restrictions of the Transient Limits provides time for taking corrective actions to restore the contaminant concentrations to within the Steady State Limits.

The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that con-centrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action.

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 and a concurrent loss of offsite electrical power. The values for the limits on specific activity represent interim limits based upon a parametric evaluation by the NRC of typical site locations. These values are conservative in that specific site parameters of the St. Lucie 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 ACTION statement permitting POWER OPERATION to continue for limited time periods with the primary coolant's specific activity > 1.0 pCi/gram DOSE E(UIVALENT I-131, but within the allowable limit shown on Figure 3.4-1, accommodates possible iodine spiking phenomenon which may occur following changes in THERMAL'OWER. Operation with specific activity levels exceeding 1.0 pCi/gram DOSE EQUIVALENT no I131 but within the limits shown on Figure 3.4-1 must be restricted to more than 10 percent of the unit's yearly operating time since the activity levels allowed by Figure 3.4-1 increase the 2 hour thyroid dose at the site boundary by a factor*of up to 20 following a postulated steam generator tube rupture.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-5

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES Reducing Tavg to < 500'F prevents the release of activity should a steam generator tube rupture since the saturation pressure of the primary coolant is below the lift pressure of the atmospheric steam relief valves.'he 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 justified by the data obtained.

if 3/4.4. 9 PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE LIMITS All components in the Reactor Coolant System are, designed to with-stand the effects of cyclic loads due to system temperature and pressure These cyclic loads are introduced by normal load transients, .'hanges.

reactor trips, and startup and shutdown operations. The various categories of load cycles used for design purposes are provided in Section 5.2.1 of the FSAR. During startup and shutdown, the rates of temperature and pressure changes are limited so that the maximum specified heatup and cooldown'ates are consistent with the design assumptions and satisfy the stress limits for cyclic operation.

During heatup, the thermal gradients in the reactor vessel wall ~

produce thermal stresses which vary from compressive at the inner wall to tensile at the outer wall. These thermal induced compressive, stresses to alleviate the tensile stresses induced by the internal pressure. 'end Therefore, a pressure-temperature curve based on steady state conditions (i.e., no thermal stresses) represents a lower bound of all similar curves for finite heatup rates when the inner wall of the vessel is treated as the governing location.

The heatup analysis also covers the determination of pressure-temperature limitations for the case in which the outer wall of the becomes the controlling location. The thermal gradients, estab-

'essel lished during heatup produce tensile stresses at the outer. wall of the vessel. These stresses are additive to the pressure induced tensile stresses. which are already present. The thermal induced stresses at the

'outer wall of the vessel are tensile and are dependent on 'both the rate of heatup,and the time along the heatup ramp; therefore, a lower bound curve similar to that described for the heatup of the inner wall cannot be defined. Consequently, for the cases in which the outer wall of the vessel becomes the stress controlling location, each heatup rate of interest must be analyzed on an individual basis.

ST. LUG I E - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-6

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES The heatup and cooldown limit curves (Figure 3.4-2) are composite curves which were prepared by determining the most conservative case, with either the inside or outside wall controlling, for any heatup or cooldown rates of up to 100'F per hour. The heatup and cooldown curves were prepared based upon the most limiting value of the predicted adjusted reference temperature at the end of the service period indicated on Figure 2.4-2.

The reactor vessel materials have been tested to determine their initial RTNpT; the results of these test are shown in Table B 3/4.4-1.

Reactor operation and resultant fast neutron (E)1 Mev) irradiation will cause an increase in the RTNgy. Therefore, an adjusted reference temperature, based upon the fluence, can be predicted using Figure B 3/4.4-1. The heatup and cooldown limit curves shown on Figure 3.4-2 include predicted adjustments for this shift in RTNDT at the end of the applicable service period, as well as adjustments for possible errors in the pressure and temperature sensing instruments.

The actual shift in RTNDT of the vessel material will be established periodically during operation by removing and evaluating, in accordance .

with ASTM E185-73, reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance 0 specimens installed near the inside wall of the reactor vessel 'in the core area. Since the neutron spectra at the irradiation samples and vessel inside radius are essentially identical, the measured transition

=

shift for a sample can be applied with confidence to the adjacent section of the reactor vessel. The heatup and cooldown curves must be recalcu-lated when the aRTNDT determined from the surveillarice capsule is dif-ferent from the calculated LRTNOT for the equivalent capsule radiation exposure.

The pressure-temperature limit lines shown on Figure 3.4-2 for reactor criticality and-for inservice leak and hydrostatic testing have been provided to assure compliance with the minimum temperature require-ments of Appendix 6 to 10 CFR 50.

The maximum RTNDT for all reactor coolant, system pressure-retaining materials, with. the exception of the reactor pressure vessel, has been determined to be 50'F. The Lowest Service Temperature limit line shown on Figure 3.4-2 is based upon this RTNDT since Article NB-2332 (Summer Addenda of 1972) of Section III:of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requires the Lowest Service .Temperature to.be RTNDT + 100'F ST.

REACTOR COOLANT'SYSTEM BASES for piping, pumps and valves. Below this temperature, the system pressure must be limited to a maximum of 201. of the system's hydrostatic test pressure of 3125 psia.

The number of reactor vessel irradiation surveillance specimens and the frequencies for removi,ng and testing these specimens are provided in Table 4. 4-5 to assure compliance with the requirements of Appendix H to 10 CFR Part 50.

The limitations imposed on the pressurizer heatup and cooldown rates and spray water temperature differential are provided to assure that the pressurizer is operated within the design criteria assumed for the fati-gue analysis performed in accordance with the ASME C'ode requirements.

3/4.4.10 STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY The required inspection programs for the Reactor Coolant System components ensure that the structural integrity of these components will be maintained at an acceptable level throughout the life of the plant.

To the extent applicable, the inspection program for the Reactor Coolant System components is in compliance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code "Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Reactor Coolant Systems", 1971 Edition, and Addenda through Winter 1972.

All areas scheduled for volumetric examination have been pre-service mapped using equipment, techniques and procedures anticipated for use during post-operation examinations. To assure that consideration is given to the use of new or improved inspection equipment, techniques and procedures, the Inservice Inspection Program will be periodically reviewed on a 5 year basis.

The use of conventional nondestructive, direct visual and remote visual test techniques can be applied to the inspection of most reactor coolant loop components except the reactor vessel. The reactor vessel requires special consideration because of the radiation levels and the requirement for remote underwater accessibility.

The techniques anticipated for inservice inspection include visual inspections, ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle and dye pene-trant testing of selected parts.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-12

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES The nondestructive testing for repairs on components greater than 2 inches diameter gives a high degree of confidence in the integrity of the system, and will detect any significant defects in and near the new welds. Repairs on components 2 inches in diameter or smaller receive a surface examination which assures a similar standard of integrity. In each case, the leak test will'ensure leak tightness during normal operation.

For normal opening and reclosing, the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System is unchanged. Therefore, satisfactory performance of a system leak test at 2235 psia following each opening and subsequent reclosing is acceptable demonstration of the system's structural inte-rity. These leak tests will be conducted within the, pressure-temperature limitations for Inservice Leak and Hydrostatic Testing and Figure 3.4-2.

The Safety Class 2 and 3 components will be pressure tested at least once toward the end of each inspection interval (10 years). The Safety Class 2 components having a design temperature above 400'.F will be pressure tested at not less than 125 percent of the system design pressure while those components having a design temperature of 400'F and below will be pressure tested at 110 percent of design pressure. The Safety Class 3 components will be pressure tested at the levels indicated in Specification 4.4.10.3b.

3/4.4.11 CORE BARREL MOVEMENT This specification 'is provided to ensure early detection of excessive core barrel movement if it should occur. Core barrel movement will be detected by using four excore neutron detectors to obtain Amplitude Probability Distribution (APD) and Special Analysis (SA). Baseline core barrel movement Alert Levels and Action Levels at nominal THERMAL POWER levels of 20%, 50%, 80% and 100% of RATED THERMAL PO>lER will be determined during the reactor startup test program.

A modification to the required monitoring program may be justified by an analysis of the .data obtained and by an examination of the affected parts during the plant shutdown at the end of the first fuel cycle.

EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.5.4 REFUELING WATER TANK RWT The OPERABILITY of the RWT as part of the ECCS ensures that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA. The limits on RWT minimum volume and boron concentration ensure that 1) sufficient water is available within containment to permit recirculation cooling flow to the core, and 2) the reactor will remain subcritical in the cold condition following mixing of the RWT and the RCS water volumes with all control rods inserted except for the most reactive control assembly. These assump-tions are consistent with the LOCA analyses.

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.1.4 INTERNAL PRESSURE The limitations on containment internal pressure ensure that 1) the containment structural is prevented from exceeding its design negative pressure differential with respect to the annulus atmosphere of 0.70 psi and 2) the containment peak pressure does not exceed the design 'pressure of 44 psig during steam line break accident conditions.

'he maximum peak pressure obtained from a steam line break accident is 41.6 psig. The limit of 2.4 psig for initial positive containment will limit the total pressure to 44.0 psig which is the design 'ressure pressure and is consistent with the accident analyses.

3/4.6.1.5 AIR TEMPERATURE

'he limitation on containment air temperature ensures that the containment vessel temperature does not exceed the design temperature of 264'F during LOCA conditions. The containment temperature limit is consistent with the accident analyses.

3/4.6.1.6 CONTAINMENT VESSEL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the con-tainment steel vessel will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility. Structural integrity is required to ensure that the vessel will withstand the maximum pr essure of 41.6 psig in the event of a steam -line break accident. A visual inspection in conjunction with Type A leakage test is sufficient to demonstrate this capability.

3/4.6.2 DEPRESSURIZATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS 3/4.6.2.1 CONTAINMENT SPRAY SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the containment spray system ensures that con-tainment depressurization and cooling capbility will be available in the event of a LOCA. The pressure reduction and resultant lower containment leakage rate are consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.

~ CONTAINMENT COOLING SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the containment c'ooling system ensures that 1) the containment air temperature will be maintained within limits during normal operation, and 2) adequate heat removal capacity is available when operated in conjunction with the containment spray systems during post-LOCA condi,tions.

3/4.6.3 CONTAINMENT ISOL'ATION 'VALVES The OPERABILITY of the containment isolation valves ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmos-phere or pressurization of the containment. Containment isolation within the time limits specified ensures that the release of radioactive material to the environment will be consistent with the assumptions used in the analyses for a LOCA.

3/4.6.4 COMBUSTIBLE GAS CONTROL The OPERABILITY of the equipment and systems required for the detection and control of hydrogen gas ensures that this equipment will be available to maintain the hydrogen concentration within containment below its flammable limit, during post-LOCA conditions. Either recombiner unit is capable of controlling the expected hydrogen generation associated with 1) zirconium-water reactions, 2) radiolytic decomposition of water and 3) corrosion of metals within containment.

The containment fan coolers are used in a secondary function to ensure adequate mixing of the containment atmosphere following a LOCA.

This mixing action will prevent localized accumulations of hydrogen from exceeding the flammable limit.

3/4.6.5 VACUUM REL'IEF VALVES The OPERABILITY of the containment vessel to annulus vacuum relief valves ensures that they will open at a pressure differential of 2.25 + 0.25 inches Hater Gauge. This condition is ne'cessary to prevent exceeding the containment design limit for internal pressure differential of 0.70 psi.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 8 3/4 6-3

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.6 SECONDARY CONTAINMENT 3/4.6.6.1 SHIELD BUILDING VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the shield building ventilation systems ensures that containment vessel leakage occurring during LOCA conditions into the annulus will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber trains prior to discharge to the atmosphere. This requirement is necessary to meet the assumptions used in the accident analyses and limit the site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR 100 during LOCA conditions.

3/4.6.6.2 SHIELD BUILDING INTEGRITY SHIELD BUILDING INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the primary containment atmosphere will be restricted to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the accident analyses. This restriction, in conjunction with operation of the shield building ventilation system, will limit the site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR 100 during accident conditions.

3/4.6.6.3 SHIELD BUILDING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the con-tainment shield building will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility. Structural integrity is required to provide 1) protection for the steel vessel from external missiles, 2) radiation shielding in the event of a LOCA, and 3) an annulus surrounding the steel vessel that can be maintained at a negative pressure within two minutes after a LOCA.

3/4.7.1.2 AUXILIARY FEEDWATER PUMPS The OPERABILITY of the auxiliary feedwater pumps ensures that the Reactor Coolant System can be cooled down to less than 300'F from normal operating conditions in the event of a total loss of off-site power.

Any two of the three auxiliary feedwater pumps have the required capacity to provide sufficient feedwater flow to remove reactor decay heat and r educe the RCS temperature to 300'F where the shutdown cooling system may be placed into operation for continued cooldown.

3/4.7.1.3 CONDENSATE STORAGE TANK The OPERABILITY of the condensate storage tank with the minimum water volume ensures that sufficient water is available for cooldown of the Reactor Coolant System to less than 300'F in the event of a total loss of off-site power.

of 10 CFR Part 100 limits in the event of a steam line rupture. The dose calculations for an assumed steam line rupture include the effects of a coincident 1.0 GPM primary to secondary tube leak in the steam generator of the affected steam line and a concurrent loss of offsite electrical power. These values are consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.

ST. LUCI E - UNIT 1 8 3/4 7-2

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.1.5 HAIN STEAM LINE ISOLATION VALVES The OPERABILITY of the main steam line isolation valves ensures that no more than one steam generator will blowdown in the event of a steam line rupture. This restriction is required to 1) minimize the positive reactivity effects of the Reactor Coolant System cooldown associated with the blowdown, and') limit the pressure rise within containment in the event the steam line rupture occurs within contain-ment. The OPERABILITY of the main steam isolation valves within the closure times of the surveillance requirements are consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.

3/4.7.1.6 SECONDARY WATER CHEMISTRY A test program will be conducted during approximately the fir st 6 months of operation after initial criticality to establish the appropriate limits on the secondary water chemistry parameters and to determine the appropriate frequencies for monitoring these parameters. The results of this test program will be submitted to the Commission for review. The Commission will then issue a revision to this specification specifying the limits on the chemistry parameters and the frequencies for monitoring these parameters.

The test program will include an analysis of the chemical con-stitutent of the makeup water for the St. Lucie Plant. The analysis shall identify the various traces of ions which upon concentration may have the potential for inducement, for stress corrosion in the steam generator tubing. The test program shall also evaluate the efficiency of the water treatment systems in the St. Lucie facility for removal of such ions. and the potential for addition of other ions resulting from the treatment method. The test program shall analyze concentration phenomena and'he concentration rates in the steam generator -and the secondary water system and shall consider concentration in the recirculat-ing cooling water system.

3 4.7.2 STEAM GENERATOR PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITATION 4

The limitation on steam generator pressure and temperature ensures that the pressure induced stresses in the steam generators do not .exceed the maximum allowable fracture toughness stress limits. The limitations of 70'F and 200-psig are based on a steam generator RTNDT of 50'F and are sufficient to prevent brittle fracture.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 7-3

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.3 COMPONENT COOL'ING WATER SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the component cooling water system ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of vital components and Engineered Safety Feature equipment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.

'3/4.7.4 INTAKE'COOLING WATER SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the intake cooling water system ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of vital components and Engineered Safety Feature equipment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.

3/4;7.5 ULTIMATE HEAT SINK The limitations on the ultimate heat sink level and temperature ensure that sufficient cooling capacity is available to either 1) pro-vide normal cooldown of the facility, or 2) to mitigate the effects of accident conditions within acceptable limits.

The limitations on minimum water level and maximum temperature are based on providing an adequate cooling water supply to safety related equipment until cooling water can be supplied from Big Mud Creek.

3/4.7.6 FLOOD PROTECTION The limitation on flood protection ensures that facility will be adequately protected from flooding.

3/4.7.7 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the control room emergency ventilation system ensures that 1) the ambient air temperature does not exceed the allowable temperature for continuous duty rating for the equipment and instrumenta-tion cooled by this system and 2) the control room will remain habitable ST. LUCIE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 7-4

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.7 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM Continued for operations personnel during and following all credible accident con-ditions. The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction with control room design provisions is based on limiting,the radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room to 5 rem or less whole body, or its equivalent, and maintaining the chlorine concentration within acceptable limits during and following a chlorine accident. This limitation is-consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 10 of Appendix "A", 10 CFR 50.

3/4.'7.8 ECCS AREA VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the ECCS area ventilation system ensures that radioactive materials leaking from the 'ECCS equipment following a LOCA are filtered prior to reaching the environment. The operation of this system and the resultant effect on offsite dosage calculations was assumed in the accident analyses.

'3/4.7. 9 SEALED SOURCE 'CONTAMINATION The limitations on sealed source removable contamination ensure that the total body or individual organ irradiation does not exceed allowable limits in the event of ingestion or inhalation of the probable leakage from the source material. The limitations on removable contamina-tion for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(c) limits for plutonium. guantities of interest to this specification which are exempt from the leakage testing are consistent with the criteria of 10 CFR Parts 30.11-20 and 70.19. Leakage from sources excluded from the requirements of this specification is not likely to represent more than one maximum permissible body burden for total body irradiation if the source material is inhaled or ingested.

3/4.7.10 HYDRAULIC 'NUBBERS The hydraulic snubbers are required OPERABLE to ensure that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads. The only snubbers excluded from this inspection'rogram are those installed on nonsafety related systems and then only if their fai lure or failure of the system on which they are installed, would have no adverse effect on any safety related system.

ST. LUG I E - UNIT 1 B 3/4 7-5

PLANT SYSTENS BASES The inspection frequency applicable to snubbers containing seals fabricated from materials which have been demonstrated compatible with their operating environment (only ethylene propylene compounds to date) is based upon maintaining a constant level of snubber protection.

Therefore, the required inspection interval varies inversely with the observed snubber failures. The number of inoperable snubbers found during an inspection of these snubbers determines the time interval for the next required inspection of these snubbers. Inspections performed before that interval has elapsed may be used as a 'new reference point to determine the next inspection. However, the results of such early inspections performed before the original required time interval has elapsed (nominal time less 251) may not be used to lengthen the required inspection interval. Any inspection whose results require a shorter inspection interval will override the previous schedule.

To provide further assurance of snubber reliability, a representa-tive sample of the installed snubbers will be functionally tested during plant shutdowns at 18 month intervals. These tests wi,ll include stroking of the snubbers to verify proper piston movement, lock-up and bleed. Observed failures of these sample snubbers will require functional testing of additional units. To minimize personnel exposures, snubbers installed in high radiation zones or in especially difficult to remove locations (as identified in Table 3.7-2) may be exempted from these functional testing requirements provided the OPERABILITY of these snubbers was demonstrated during functional testing at either the completion of their fabrication or at a subsequent date.

3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during operation ensures that sufficient power will be available to supply the safety related equipment required for 1) the safe shutdown of the facility and 2) the mitigation and control of accident conditions within the facility. The minimum specified indepen-dent and redundant A.C. and D.C; power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criteria 17 of Appendix "A" to 10 CFR 50.

The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commensurate with the level of degradation. The OPERABILITY of the power sources are consistent with the initial condition assumptions of the accident analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one of each of the onsite A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions coincident with an assumed loss of offsite power and single failure of the other onsite A.C. source.

The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that 1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods and 2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the facility status.-

3 4.9 REFUEL'ING OPERATIONS.

BASES 3/4.9:1 BORON CONCENTRATION The limitations on minimum boron concentration (1720 ppm) ensure that: 1) the reactor will remain subcritical during CORE ALTERATIONS, and 2) a uniform boron concentration is maintained for reactivity control in the water volumes having direct access to the reactor vessel. The limitation on K fq of no greater than 0.95 is sufficient to prevent reactor criticality with all full length rods (shutdown and regulating) fully withdrawn.

3/4.9.2 INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the, wide range logarithmic range neutron flux monitors ensures that redundant monitoring capability is available to detect changes in the reactivity condition of the core.

3/4.9.3 DECAY TIME The minimum requirement for reactor subcriticality prior to move-ment of irradiated fuel assemblies in 'the reactor pressure vessel ensures that sufficient time has elapsed to allow the radioactive decay of the short lived fission products. This decay time is consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.

3/4.9. 4 CONTAINMENT'ENETRATIONS The requirements on containment penetration closure and OPERABILITY ensure that a release of radioactive material within containment will be restricted from leakage to the environment. The OPERABILITY and closure restrictions are sufficient to restrict radioactive material release from a fuel element rupture based upon the lack of containment pressur-ization potential while in the REFUELING MODE.

3/4.9. 5 COMMUNICATIONS The requirement for communications capability ensures that refueling station personnel can be promptly informed of significant changes in the facility status or core reactivity condition during CORE ALTERATIONS.

REFUEL'I NG OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9.12 FUEL POOL VENTILATION SYSTEM-FUEL STORAGE The limitations on the fuel handling building ventilation system ensures that all radioactive material released from an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to discharge to the atmosphere. The OPERABILITY of this system and the resulting iodine removal capacity are consistent with the assumptions of the accident analyses.

3/4.9.13 SPENT FUEL CASK CRANE The maximum load which may be handled by the spent fuel cask crane is limited to a loaded single element cask which is equivalent to approximately 25 tons. This restriction is provided to ensure .the structural integrity of the spent fuel pool in the event of a dropped cask accident. Structural damage caused by dropping a load in excess of a loaded single element cask could cause leakage from the spent fuel pool in excess of the maximum makeup capability.

D demand NP: negative pressure (i.e., negative phase during inhalation)

PD: pressure demand (i.e., always positive pressure)

R: recirculating (closed circuit) z(a) For purposes of this specification the protection factor is a measure of the degree of protection afforded by a respirator, defined as the ratio of the concentration of airborne radio-active material outside the respiratory protective equipme~t to that inside the equipment (usually inside the facepiece) under conditions of use. It is applied to the ambient airborne concentration to estimate the concentration inhaled by the wearer according to the following formula:

Ambient Airborne Concentration Concentration Inhaled Protection Factor (b) The protection factors apply:

(i) only for trained individuals wearing properly fitted

'respirators used and maintained under supervision in a well-planned respiratory protective program.

(ii) for air-purifying respirators only when high efficiency

[above 99.9Ã removal efficiency by U.S. Bureau of Mines type dioctyl phthalate (DOP) testj particulate filters and/or sor bents appropriate to the hazard are used in atmospheres not deficient in oxygen.

(iii) for atmosphere-supplying respirators only when supplied with adequate respirable air.

Excluding radioactive contaminants that present an absorption or submersion hazard. For tritium oxide approximately half of the intake occurs by absorption through the skin so that an overall protection factor of not more than approximately 2 is appropriate when atmosphere-supplying respirators are used to protect against tritium oxide. Air-purifying respirators are not recommended for use against tritium oxide. See also footnote s, below, concerning supplied-air suits and hoods.

s Appropriate protection factors must be determined taking account of the design of the suit or hood and its permeability to the contaminant under conditions of use. No protection factor greater than 1,000 shall be used except as authorized by the Commission.

6 No approval schedules current available for this equipment. Equip-ment must be evaluated by testing or on basis of available test information.

" Only for shaven faces.

NOTE 1: Protection factors for respirators, as may be approved by the U.S. Bureau of Mines or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health according to approval schedules for respirators to protect against airborne radionuclides, may be used to the extent that they do not exceed the protection factors listed in this Table. The protection factors in this Table may not be appropriate to circumstances where chemical or other respiratory hazards exist in addition to radioactive hazards. The selection and use of respirators for such circumstances should take into account approvals of the U.S.

Bureau of Mines or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in accordance with its applicable schedules.

NOTE 2: Radioactive contaminants for which the concentration values in Appendix B, Table I of 10 CFR Part 20 are based on internal dose due to inhalation may, in addition, present external exposure hazards at higher concentrations. Under such circumstances, limitations on occupancy may have to be governed by external dose limits.

2-7 TABLE 2.4-1 (Cont'd) 1 The detectability limits, for activity analysis are based on the technical feasibility and on the potential significance in the environment of the quantities released. For some nuclides, lower detection limits may be readily achievable, and when nuclides are measured below the stated limits, they should also be reported.

2 For certain mixtures of gamma emitters, it may not be possible to measure radionuclides in concentrations near their sensitivity limits when other nuclides are present in the sample in much greater concentrations; Under these circumstances, it will be more appropriate to calculate the concentrations of such radionuclides using measured ratios with those radionuclides which are routinely identified and measured.

3 A composite sample is one in which the quantity of liquid sampled is proportional to the quantity of liquid waste discharged.

4 To be representative of the average quantities and concentrations of radioactive materials in liquid effluents, samples should be collected in proportion to the rate of flow of the effluent stream. Prior to analyses, all samples taken for the composite should be thoroughly mixed in order for the composite sample to be representative of the average effluent release.

5 For dissolved noble gases in water, assume a MPC of 4 x 10 -5 pCi/ml of water.

6 When operational or other type of limitations preclude< specific gamma spectrum analysis of each tank, gross activity measurements shall be made to estimate the quantity and concentration of radioactive material released in the batch and a weekly sample composited from proportional aliquots from each batch released during the week shall be analyzed for the principal gamma emitting radionuclides.

7 No sampling required when cold and drained.

8 Should the reactor coolant system activity technical specification limits be exceeded, the power level and cleanup or purification flow rate at the sample time shall also be reported.

9 Required if the component cooling water (CCW) monitor is out of service or if the CCW monitor indicates activity in excess of 10 5 pCi/cc.

d. The radioactivity in liquid wastes shall be continuously monitored and recorded during release. Whenever>>these monitors are inoperable for a period not to exceed *72 hours, two independent samples of each tank to be discharged shall be analyzed and two plant personnel shall independ-ently check valving prior to the discharge. If these monitors are inoperable for a period exceeding 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, no release from a liquid waste tank shall be made and any release in progress shall be terminated.
e. The flow rate of liquid radioactive waste shall be continuously measured and recorded during release. If the flow monitors are inoperable, flow shall be determined and recorded each hour based upon an the'elease estimate of the flow rate of the system.
f. All liquid effluent radiation monitors shall be calibrated at least quarterly by means of a radioactive source which has been calibrated to a National Bureau of Standards source. Each monitor shall also have a functional test monthly and an instrument check prior to making a release.
g. The radioactivity in steam generator"blowdown shall be continuously monitored and recorded. With one steam generator blowdown monitor inoperable, the sampling system shall be realigned so that the operable monitor is receiving flow from both steam generators. Whenever both monitors are inoperable, the blowdown flow shall be diverted to the waste management system and the direct release to the environment terminated.
h. The points of release to the environment to be monitored in this section 2.4.2 include all the monitored release points as provided for in Table 2.4-2.

Bases The release of radioactive materials in liquid waste effluents to unrestricted areas shall not exceed the concentration limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 and should be as low as practicable in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a. These specifications provide reasonable assurance that the resulting annual dose to the total body or any organ of an individual in an unrestricted area will not exceed 5 mrem. At the same time, these specifications permit the flexibility of operation, compatible with considerations of health and safety, to assure that the public is provided a dependable source of power under unusual operating conditions which may temporarily result in releases higher than the design objective levels but still within the concentration limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.

It is expected that by using this operational flexibility under unusual operating conditions, and exerting every effort to keep levels of radioactive material in liquid wastes as low as practicable, the annual releases will not exceed a small fraction of the concentration limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.

2-10 The design ob)ectives have been developed based on operating experience taking into account a combination of variables including defective fuel, primary system leakage, primary to secondary system leakage, steam generator blowdown and the performance of the various waste treatment systems, and are consistent with 10 CFR Part 50.36a.

Specification 2.4.l.a requires the licensee to limit the concentration of radioactive materials in liquid waste effluents released from the site to levels specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2, for unrestricted areas. This specification provides assurance that no member of the general public will be exposed to liquid containing radioactive materials in excess of limits considered permissible under the Commission's Regulations.

Specifications 2.4.1.b and 2.4.1.c establish the upper limits for the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents. The intent of these specifica-tions is to permit the licensee'the flexibility of operation to assure that the public is provided a dependable source of power under unusual operating conditions which may temporarily result in releases higher than the levels normally achievable when the plant and the liquid waste treatment systems are functioning as designed. Releases of up to these levels will result in concentrations of radioactive material in liquid waste effluents"at small percentages of the limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.-

Consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix A Design C riterion 64, Specifications 2.4.l.d and 2.4.l.e require operation of suitable equipment to control and monitor the releases of radioactive materials in liquid wastes during any period that these releases are taking place.

Specification 2.4.l.f .xequ'ires, that the licensee maintain .and operate the equipment installed in the liquid waste systems to reduce the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents to as low as practicable with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a. Normal'se and main- con-'istent tenance of installed equipment in the liquid waste system provides reasonable assurance thag the quantity released will not exceed the design objective.

In order to keep releases of xadioactive materials as low as practicable, the specification requires operation of equipment whenever it appears that the projected cumulative discharge rate will exceed one-fourth of this design objective annual quantity during any calendar quarter.

Specification 2,4.l.g restricts the amount of radioactive material that could be inadvertently released to the environment to an amount that will not exceed the Technical Specification limit.

In addition to limiting conditions for operation listed under Specifications 2.4.1.b and 2.4.lc, the reporting requirements of Specification 2.4.l.h delineate that the licensee shall identify the cause whenever the cumulative release of radioactive materials in liquid waste effluents

2-11 exceeds one-half the design ob5ective annual quantity during any calendar quarter and describe the proposed program of action to reduce such releases to design ob)ective levels on a timely basis. This report must be filed within 30 days following the calendar quarter in which the release -occurred as required by'pecification..'5.6.2 of these Technical Specifications.

Specification 2.4.l.i provides for reporting spillage or release events which,'while below. the limits of 10 CFR Part 20, could result in releases higher than the design obgectives.

The sampling and monitoring requirements. given'nder Specification 2.4.2 provide assurance that'adioactive materials in liquid wastes are properly controlled and monitored in conformance wit:h"the-requirements of Design Criteria 60 and 64. These'requirements provide the data for the licensee and the Commission .te.'evaluate 'the plant's, performance relative to radio-active liquid wastes released: to the environment. Reports on the radioactive materials released in liquid'aste effluents are furnished to the Commission according to Section 5.6.1 'of these Technical Specifications. On the basis of such reports and'ny additional.information the Commission may obtain fram the 'licensee or others, 'the Commission.may'rom time to time require the licensee to 'take such. action as the Commission deems appropriate.-

During the release of gaseous wastes from the gas decay tanks, the gaseous discharge monitor shall be operating and set to alarm and'o initiate the automatic closure of the waste gas discharge valve prior to exceeding the limits specified in 2.4.3.a above. Whenever this monitor is inoperable for a period not to exceed seven days'two independent samples of each g'as"decay tank to be, discharged shall be analyzed and two plant personnel shall independently check valving prior to the discharge.

2-18 Beses The release off radioactive materials in gaseous, waste effluents to unrestricted areas shall not exceed the concentration iimits specified in 10 CFR Part 20 and should be as low as practical in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.36a. These Specifications provide reasonable assurance that the resulting annual air dose from the site due to gamma radiation will not exceed 10 mrad, and an annual air dose from the site due to beta radiation will not exceed 20 mead from noble gases, that no individual in an unrestricted area will receive an annual dose to the total body greater than 5 mrem or an annual skin dose greater than 15 mrem f'rom fission product noble gases, and that the annual dose to any organ of an individual from radioiodines and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days will not exceed 15 mrem per si'te.

At the same time these Specifications permit the flexibility of operation, compatible with considerations of health and safety, to assure that the public is provided with a dependable source of power under unusual operating conditions which may temporarily result in releases higher than the design objective levels but still within the concentration limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20. Even with this operational flexibility under unusual operating conditions, if the licensee exerts every effort to keep levels of radioactive material in gaseous waste effluents as low as practicable, the annual'eleases will not exceed a'mall fraction of the concentration limits specified in 10 CFR Part 20.

The design objectives have been developed based on operating experience taking into account a combination of system variables including defective fuel, primary system leakage, primary to secondary system leakage, steam generator blowdown, and the performance of the various waste treatment systems.

1 Specification 2.4.3.a(1) limits the release rate of noble gases from the site so that the corresponding annual gamma and beta dose rate above back-ground to an individual in an unrestricted area will not exceed,500 mrem to the total body or 3000 mrem to the skin in compliance with the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.

For Specification 2.4.3.a(1), gamma and beta dose factors for the individual noble gas radionuclides have been calculated for the plant gaseous release points and are provided in Table 2.4-3. The expressions used to calculate these dose factors are based on dose models derived in Section 7 of Meteorolo and Atomic Ener -1968 and model techniques provided, in Draft Regulatory Guide 1.AA.

Dose calculations have been made to determine the site boundary location with the highest anticipated dose rate from noble gases using onsite meteorological data and the dose expressions provided in Draft Regulatory Guide 1.AA. The dose expression considers the release point location, building wake effects, and the physical characteristics of the radionuclides.

2-19 The offsite .location with the highest anticipated annual'dose from released noble gases is 1600 meters in the North direction.

The release rate Specifications for a radioiodine and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days are dependent on existing radionuclide pathways to man. The pathways which were examined for these Specifications are: 1) individual inhalation of airborne radio-nuclides, 2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption -by man, and 3) deposition onto grassy areas where milch animals graze with consumption of the milk by man. Methods for doses to the thyroid via these pathways are described in Draft

'stimating Regulatory Guide 1.AA. The offsite location with the h'ighest 'anticipated thyroid dose rate from radioiodines and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days was dete'rmined using onsite meteorological data and the expressions described in Draft Regulatory Guide 1.AA. Specification 2.4.3.a(2) limits the release rate of radioiodines and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days, so that the-corresponding annual thyroid dose via the most restrictive pathway is less than 1500 mrem.

For radioiodines and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight 'days, the most restrictive location is a residence located 3,000 meters in the WSW.direction (vent X//~5,.5x10 sec/m3).

Specification 2.4.3.b establishes upper offsite levels for the releases of noble gases and radioiodines and radioactive material in particulate form with half-lives greater than eight days at twice the design objective .annual quantity during any calendar quarter, or four times the design objective annaul quantity 'during any period of 12 consecutive months. In addition to 'the limiting conditions for operation of Specifications 2.4.3.a and 2.4.3.b, the reporting requirements of 2.4.3.c provide that the cause shall be identified whenever the release of gaseous effluents exceeds one-half the design objective annual quantity during any calendar quarter and that the proposed program of action to reduce such release rates to the 'design objectives shall be described.

Specification 2.4.3.d requires that suitable equipment to monitor and control the radioactive gaseous releases are operating during any period these releases are taking place.

P Specification 2.4.3.e limits the maximum quantity of radioactive gas that can be contained in a waste gas storage tank. The calculation of this quantity should assume instantaneous ground release, a X/g based 5 percent meteorology, the average gross energy is 0.19 Mev per disintegration (considering Xe-133 to be the principal emitter) and exposure occurring at the minimum site boundary radius using a semiinfinite cloud model. The calculated quantity will limit the offsite dose above background to 0.5 rem or less, consistent with Commission guidelines.

~ 2-20 Specification 2.4.3.f provides for reporting release events which, while below the limits of 10 CFR Part 20, could result in releases higher than the design objectives.

The sampling and monitoring requirements given'nder Specification 2.4.4 provide assurance that ra'dioactive materials released in gaseous waste effluents are properly controlled and monitored in conformance with the requirements of Design Criteria 60 and 64. These requirements provide'he data for the licensee and'he Commission to evaluate the plant's performance relative to radioactive waste effluents released to the environment. Reports on the quantities of radioactive materials released in gaseous effluents are furnished to the Commission on the basis of Section 5.6.1 of these Technical Specifications. On the basis of such reports and any additional information the Commission may obtain from the licensee or others, the Commission may from time to time require the licensee to take such action as the Commission deems appropriate.

Specification 2.4.4.b excludes monitoring the turbine building ventilation exhaust since this release is expected to be a negligible release point.

Many PWR reactors do not have turbine building enclosures. To be'onsistent in this re'quirement for all PWR reactors, the monitoring of gaseous releases from turbine buildings is not required.

Direct radiation shall be, measured by thermoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) at locations shown in Table 3.2-1 and Figures 3.2-1 and 3.2-2. The system shall be capable of measuring 26 mrem/year with a precision of +10% at the 95%

confidence level based on a quarterly collection frequency.

3~2~c The radiation detection capabilities of the radioanalytical methods used shall be as shown in Table 3;2-,3.

3.2.d A census of gardens producing fresh leafy vegetation for human consumption shall be conducted near the end of the growing season t'o determine their location with respect to the plant site. This census is limited to gardens having an area of 500 ft2 or more, and shall be conducted under the following conditions:

l. Nothin a 1 mile radius of the plant site, enumerated by door-to-door or equivalent counting technique.
2. If no milk-producing animals are located in the vicinity of the site, as determined by Specification 3.2.e below, the census described in item 1, above, shall be extended to a distance of 5 miles from the site.
3. If this ct census reveals the existence of a garden at a location yielding a calculated thyroid dose. greater than that from a previously sampled garden, the new location shall replace the garden previously having the maximum iodine concentration. Also, any location from which fresh leafy vegetables can no longer be obtained may be dropped from the

3~2~e A census of animals producing milk for human consumption shall be conducted semiannually to determine their location and number with respect to the plant site. The census shall be conducted qnder the following conditions:

1. Within a 1 mile radius from the plant site or within a 15 mrem/year-isodose line=(as calculated using dose models presented in Regulatory Guide 1.42), whichever is larger, enumeration by a door-to-door or equivalent counting technique'.
2. Within a 5 mile radius for cows and a 15 mile radius for goats, enumera-tion by using referenced information from county agricultural agents or other reliable sources.

If it is determined from the census that animals are present at a location which yields a calculated thyroid'ose greater than that from previously sampled animals, the new location shall be added to the surveillance program as soon as practicable. The sampling location having the lowest calculated dose may be dropped from the surveillance program 3 months after sampling begins at the new location. Also, any location from which milk can no longer be obtained may be dropped from the surveillance program after notifying NRC in writing that milk-producing animals are no longer present at that location.

3.2.f Deviations from the required sampling schedule are permitted if specimens are not obtainable due 'to', hazardous conditions, seasonal'navailability, or malfunction of autom'atic sampling equipment. In the latter case, every reasonable effort shall be made to complete corrective action prior to the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be described in the annual report.

A deviation of not greater than one'week from the required frequency of analysis for gross beta activity, as shown in Table 3.2-2, is permitted if equipment failure delays the analyses. Every reasonable effort shall, be made to effect expeditious equipment repair.

~Re ortkn All required reports from this Operational Radiological Environmental Surveillance Program shall be. prepared and presented in the manner described in Section 5.6.1.B of these Environmental Technical Specifications.

Bases The program is designed to determine existing radioactivity levels and to detect changes in radiation levels in the air, water and land environment which may be attributed to the oper'ation of the plant. The methods,

3-16 procedures and techniques used were developed during the preoperational phase and have provided background measurements that will be used as a base for distinguishing significant changes in radioactivity in the site environs.

3.3 ONSITE METEOROLOGICAL MONITORING

~Ob ective

'The objective of onsite meteorological monitoring is to adequately measure and document meteorological conditions at the site, specifically at heights above ground that are representative of atmospheric conditions that exist at all effluent release points.

S ecification The onsite meteorological monitoring program shall conform to the recommenda-tions and intent of Regulatory Guide 1.23, Gnsite Meteorolo ical Pro rams, and include instruments to sense wind speed and direction at 33 ft and 190 ft, vertical temperature gradient between 33 ft and '200 ft, and ambient dry bulb and dewpoint temperatures at 33 ft. The location of the meteorological tower shall be located approximately 2400 ft north of the reactor complex.

Re ortin Re uirements Meteorological data shall be summarized and reported in a format consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 1.21 and 1.23. Summaries of data- and observations shill be available to the U. S. Nuclear'Regulatory Commission'pon request. If the outage of any meteorological instrument(s) exceeds seven consecutive days, the'total outage time and dates of outage, the cause of the outage, and the instrument(s),involved shall be reported .

within 30 days of the initial time of the outage to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, with a copy to the Office "of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Division of Technical Review.

Any modifications to the meteorological monitoring program, as described above, or alterations of'he area near the meteorological tower that would, interfere with the measurement of meteorological conditions representative of the site, shall have the written approval of the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, prior to the initiation of the modification or alteration.

Bases The collection of meteorological data at the plant site will provide information which will be used to develop atmospheric diffusion parameters to estimate potential radiation doses to the public resulting from actual routine or accidental releases of, radioactive materials to the atmosphere.

4' SPECIAL SURVEILLANCE AND SPECIAL STUDY. ACTIVITIES Entrainment of A uatic Or anisms

~ob ective The purpose of this study is to assess the effects on planktonic organisms of passage through the plant condensers. Specialists in the biological sub-disciplines of zooplankton and ichthyology will perform appropriate portions of this study. Pigures obtained for the intake and discharge canals will be compared to data collected at a control station.

S ecification Samples shall be collected from the intake and discharge canals and a control station at monthly intervals when the unit is in operation to identify the organisms involved, and to attempt to quantify how many of each organism are potentially affected. Biomass measurements, numbers of eggs collected, and numbers and identification 'of larvae to the level of major taxonomic groups, if possible shall be performed. Present "state-of-the-art" informa-tion shall be used to attempt to quantify the mortality of the organisms due to entrainment. This program shall determine the seasonal abundance of fish eggs and larvae.
