lturry Monthly Operating Report No. 97-03 Page 10 of 22 FACILITY CHANGES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE NRC APPROVAL MONTH/VEAR: March, 1997 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Change (Safety Evaluation 97-012) 2-3-97 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Change FS 97-03 revised Section 9.1.2.6.23, "Chemical and Volume Control System," to correct a statement that "the normal blender flowpath and the boric acid transfer pumps in which the boric acid solutions are rotated on at least a weekly basis... " There is no routine rotation of flowpaths. The flowpaths, and pumps are aligned as required for Technical Specification compliance, Preventative Maintenance, Corrective Maintenance, and ASME Section XI inservice testing...This testing satisfies the Technical Specification required testing.

This change was made to accurately reflect the current plant condition. None of the changes to the UFSAR increases the probability of occurrence or increases the consequence of an accident. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Safety Evaluation 3-3-97 Safety Evaluation 97-031 was performed to evaluate the 1997 Unit 1 Refueling Outage Schedule.

The evaluation concluded that the refueling outage schedule is acceptable based on a

. review of (a) the capability to satisfy Cold Shutdown (CSD) and Refueling Shutdown (RSD) critical safety functions for Unit 1 and (b) the effects of Unit 1 outage activities on critical safety functions for Unit 2. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Temporary Modification (Safety Evaluation No.97-035) 3-6-97 This Temporary Modification (TM) is required during the time the Main Board Racks six and eight are being upgraded to the Foxboro I/A instrument system. The TM will maintain indication in the Main Control Room for the Containment Sump Level and the Containment Instrument Air Pressure System.

The TM will be installed in the secondary non-safety instrument racks, with the unit at Cold Shutdown. There is no change to the existing design or installation of the station isolation between primary and secondary instrument systems and, therefore, no feedback into any primary plant instrument system. It has been verified that the TM will not alter the operation of the Residual Heat Removal System.

Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

SE 97-037 DCP 92-092 FS 97-17

~urry Monthly Operating Report No. 97-03 Page 11 of 22 FACILITY CHANGES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE NRC APPROVAL MONTH/YEAR: March, 1997 Safety Evaluation 3-7-97 Safety Evaluation 97-037 was performed to evaluate the closure of valve 1-VS-606 so the Unit 2 Containment Air Compressor Cubicle dampers 2-VS-AOD-205 A&B can be refurbished.

During maintenance of the 2-VS-AOD-205 A&B dampers, the Unit 1 Safeguard Building Ventilation will require manual alignment in the event of a Unit 1 Safety Injection actuation.

Temporary Modification (TM) S1-96-09 installed electrical jumpers and switches to provide operators with the ability to reposition motor-operated dampers 1-VS-MOD-100A[B] and 2-VS-MOD-200A[B] in the event of a reduction of air pressure below the 65 psig lock-out point.

Emergency Operating Procedures 1-E-O, "Reactor Trip or Safety Injection," and 1-ES-1.1, "SI Termination," were revised to identify the subject switches and their appropriate positions.

In the unlikely event of a loss of air pressure prior to a safety injection, the TM allows the dampers to be correctly positioned. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Design Change Package (Safety Evaluation 93-183) 3-10-97 Design Change Package 92-092, "Excore Shroud Dosimetry," installed dosimetry in two excore detector shrouds located within the neutron shield tank. This installed neutron dosimetry will permit data to be obtained to improve the accuracy of the reactor vessel fast neutron fluence calculations and allow full credit to be taken for the actual flux reduction achieved by flux suppression inserts.

The Excore Instrumentation System monitors the power level in the reactor to initiate protective action, alarms and interlocks via the Reactor Protection System when unsafe nuclear conditions are approached. The installation of the dosimetry into the excore shrouds will not prevent the excore instrumentation from performing its intended functions. The excore shroud dosimetry hardware is designated non-safety related with special quality requirements. The dosimetry is not required for safe shutdown of the unit and failure of the hardware will not damage safety related equipment. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Change (Safety Evaluation 97-042) 3-13-97 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Change 97-17 revises Section 9.A, "High-Density Spent Fuel Storage Rack Design," and Section 14.4.1, "Fuel Handling Accidents" to change the height fuel is handled above the fuel storage racks. Currently the UFSAR indicates this height as 24 inches verses the actual height of 42 inches. The difference in height resulted from changes made to the handling tool and differences in load cell length that have been implemented over the past several years.

The margin of safety of any part of the Technical Specifications as described in the bases section is not reduced as a result of these changes to the UFSAR. The drop of a fuel assembly onto the fuel storage racks from a height of 42 inches versus 24 inches are bounded by the analysis of a drop of the transfer canal gate and will not change the center-to-center spacing of the stored fuel assemblies.

The consequences of a fuel handling accident in the fuel building remain unchanged. The makeup capability to the pool exceeds the expected leak rate from the test channels in the event the spent fuel pool liner is punctured. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

DCP 96-002 TM 81-97-003 DCP 95-030 4'urry Monthly Operating Report No. 97-03 Page 12 of 22 FACILITY CHANGES THAT DID NOT REQUIRE NRC APPROVAL MONTH/YEAR: March, 1997 Design Change Package (Safety Evaluation 96-119 Rev. 1) 3-17-97 Design Change Package 96-002, "In-Mast Sipping Modification," (IMS) installs the in-mast sipping hardware to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the detection of failed fuel assemblies.

The displacement of fluid inside the crane mast does not increase the level of exposure to the manipulator crane operator. The additional weight added to the manipulator crane by the Design Change Package has been seismically analyzed by the vendor and has demonstrated that the manipulator crane and IMS hardware components are structurally adequate to withstand the seismic dead weight loads. The IMS System does not affect any safety related equipment, or change the function/operation of the manipulator crane.

Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Temporary Modification (Safety Evaluation No.97-050) 3-24-97 During the ongoing Unit 1 outage the single point failure relays for train 'A' and 'B' HI-CLS are to be replaced. To accomplish this both trains of HI-CLS fuses will be pulled and the Safety Injection (SI) actuation from HI-CLS will be blocked by tag out. Operations has requested that a Temporary Modification (TM) be installed to block the closing of 1-TV-RM-100A, B, and C. This TM will block the HI-CLS signal to these valves and allow the gas/particulate radiation monitors to function during the time the relays are being replaced.

Work will be performed with the unit at cold shutdown when the automatic closure of trip valves is not required.

During the time the relays are being replaced, the temporary modification will allow the trip valves to remain open with the HI-CLS system tagged out.

Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Design Change Package (Safety Evaluation 95-120) 3-26-97 Design Change Package 96-002, "Replacing of Motor Operators," replaces the SMB-000 motor operators on 1-S1-MOV-1860A/B and 2-SI-MOV-2860A/B with SMB-00 motor operators to provide a greater safety margin in the operators' capability to perform their design function.

This modification is essentially a like-for-like replacement with the exception of the increase in operator capacity and valve stroke time. The increase in valve stroke time has been previously analyzed and does not adversely affect the sequencing for a plant shift to Recirculation Mode Transfer.

Previously analyzed accidents and equipment malfunctions concerning these MOVs are not affected nor is there an increase in the probability of occurrence or the consequences of the accidents/equipment malfunctions.

Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

SE 97-052 DCP 96-020 e

~urry Monthly Operating Report No. 97-03 Page 13 of 22 FACILITY CHANGES THAT DID Nor REQUIRE NRC APPROVAL MONTH/YEAR: March, 1997 Safety Evaluation 3-28-97 A Safety Evaluation has been performed to determine whether an unreviewed safety question will result from the refueling and operation of Surry Unit 1 Cycle 15.

The Cycle 15 core design parameters were calculated and compared to the existing safety analysis assumptions. These parameters were shown to be either 1) explicitly bounded or 2) accommodated by existing safety analysis margin and/or conservatism.

Operation of the reload core in accordance with the Technical Specifications will not violate the design basis of plant safety equipment.

Thus, the probabilities and consequences of analyzed accidents and equipment malfunctions are not changed by the reload. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Design Change Package (Safety Evaluation 96-076 Rev. 1) 3-29-97 Design Change Package 96-020, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor Firmware Modifications," revises the configuration data to allow the Inadequate Core Cooling Monitor {ICCM) to operate with two or more operable thermocouples in a quadrant in order to maintain a good quality average.

The modification replaces two system electronic EPROMs and CPUs with a new CPU containing revised firmware for each train.

This modification was needed since a failure of a thermocouple in some quadrants of the core would result in a ICCM failure and entry into a seven day Limiting Condition of Operation to Hot Shutdown.

This change will not affect the measurements, calculations, or setpoints for the ICCM.

The Safety Analysis Report and Technical Specifications only require two operable thermocouples per quadrant per train. Since the Technical Specification requirements and design criteria continue to be satisfied, the margin of safety is not reduced.

Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

This hose will allow the transfer of liquid waste from the evaporator bottoms tank to a strong tight container at the Surry Radwaste Facility (SRF).

This will be a procedurally controlled temporary modification.

None of the components are safety related. Pressure and temperature rating of the hose exceeds the operating parameters of the evaporator bottoms tank pump.

The hose construction material is compatible with the pumped fluid such that the fluid will not degrade the hose. The SRF has provisions to assure that any liquid spill is contained within the building, limiting the environmental exposure. Any gaseous effluent will be captured by the SRF ventilation system. The margin of safety as stated in the Technical Specifications is not affected by this temporary modification. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Temporary Maintenance Operating Procedure Maintenance Operating Procedure (Safety Evaluation No.97-032) 3/3/97 Temporary Maintenance Operating Procedure O-TMOP-3040, "Unblocking Ventilation Vent Rm Nozzle," and/or Maintenance Operating Procedure O-MOP-RM-001, "Unblocking Ventilation Vent Rm Nozzle," will install a purge air supply to the downstream side of the Ventilation Vent lsokinetic Nozzle at the input of the Ventilation Vent Monitor for the purpose of flushing the Vent Vent multi ported isokinetic nozzle. The reverse flushing of the nozzle is needed to remove the clogging that is preventing the drawing of a normal representative sample from the Ventilation Vent 2 effluent discharges.

Work will be completed within 45 minutes to satisfy the one hour clock specified in the ODCM.

In the unlikely event that the allowed outage time is exceeded, the required compensatory actions stated in the OCDM will be implemented. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Operations Surveillance Procedure (Safety Evaluation No 96-048 Rev. 1) 3-3-97 1 (2)-0SP-SW-007 and 1 (2)-0SP-SW-008, "Service Water Flow Test of Recirculating Spray Heat Exchangers," initiate service water flow to the Recirculating Spray Heat Exchangers (RSHXs) to collect performance data and verify operability of the system. To collect this data, wires will be connected to the Service Water (SW) flow instruments at the RSHXs discharge. Additionally, these procedures require administrative control of the SW isolation valves to ensure canal inventory is maintained.

These procedures will be performed with the Reactor Coolant System conditions less than 350°F and 450 psig when the operability of the Recirculating Spray System is not required.

Plant operators will maintain control of the test by administrative control of the SW isolation valves to ensure canal inventory is maintained for the opposite unit should an accident occur. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

This change places the SG blowdown permissive key switches under administrative control when in the permissive mode during monthly logic testing. The procedural steps direct an operator to place the key switches in the normal position in the event of an auxiliary feedwater system automatic start signal.

This action ensures operability of the SG blowdown trip valves. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

1 C," perform a procedurally controlled temporary modification to apply air pressure to the heat exchangers to enhance the draining of the heat exchangers.

Each procedure uses air pressure to assist in draining the heat exchangers. The amount of air pressure will be kept below the lowest pressure class component in the portion being drained. Additionally, these procedures will be performed with the Reactor Coolant System conditions less than 350°F and 450 psig when the operability of the Recirculating Spray System is not required. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Maintenance Operating Procedure (Safety Evaluation No.97-036) 3-6-97 Maintenance Operating Procedures 1 (2)-MOP-EP-204 / 1 (2)-MOP-EP-205, "Removing /

Returning 4160 Bus 1 H, 480V Bus 1 H and 1 H-1, and 480V MCC 1 H-1 and 1 H-2," install and remove temporary modifications which provide power from a like source to the Radiation Monitoring Equipment and the Fire Detection Equipment from the opposite unit's power supplies during bus outages.

The power sources that will be supplying power to the Radiation Monitoring Equipment and the Fire Detection Equipment are adequately sized to supply both units. The procedures that direct the bus outages have steps to verify that the Radiation Monitoring Equipment and the Fire Detection Equipment are operable after installation and removal of the temporary modification. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

A mechanical jumper is installed between containment purge and auxiliary building general exhaust filter 1-VS-FL-14. The jumper is installed to minimize the refueling impact on safety related filters by allowing containment purge to flow through a non-safety charcoal filter except when fuel is being handled inside containment.

This lineup does not impact the ability of the safety-related filters to respond to a unit's safety injection signal. Additionally, any gasses released by a failed jumper would remain within the Auxiliary Building and be monitored prior to release. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Corrective Electrical Maintenance Procedure (Safety Evaluation No.97-046) 3-13-97 Corrective Electrical Maintenance Procedures 1-EMP-P-RT-23 /

1-EMP-P-RT-47, "Protective Relay Maintenance for Circuit Breaker 15J8/15D1 Normal Feed/Reserve Supply to Bus 1 J/1 D," were revised to provide instructions for the installation and removal of procedurally controlled Temporary Modifications (TM).

These procedurally controlled TMs allow circuit breaker control interlocks to be functionally tested while maintaining reliable and desired electric plant lineup. The emergency power supplies are not affected by the installation and removal of these TMs. These procedures are performed at cold shutdown and the TMs are installed and removed by qualified individuals using double verification. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Administrative Procedure (Safety Evaluation 97-043) 3-13-97 Administrative Procedure VPAP-2201, "Nuclear Plant Chemistry Program," was revised to be consistent with the latest EPRI guidance.

EPRI PWR Primary Water Chemistry Guidelines include the hydrogen values of 15 and 5 cc/kg in action levels 2 and 3.

This revision does not change the existing normal operating range for dissolved hydrogen, but will allow operation of the RCS with hydrogen concentrations >5 cc/kg during off-normal conditions without reactor shutdown. No significant chemistry changes are expected >5 cc/kg. When operation is ~ 15 cc/kg, station chemistry will increase RCS monitoring to ensure chemistry remains unaffected. Because RCS chemistry will not change significantly, the probability and/or consequences of accidents will not be increased nor will the likelihood of new unreviewed accidents be increased. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Operating Procedure 1-0P-CH-013, "Removal From and Return To Service of eves Deborating Demineralizers," contains instructions to load demineralizer 1-CH-1-38 with mixed bed resin to remove sulfates from the Unit 1 primary side. This demineralizer's normal function is to de-borate the RCS at end of life.

This demineralizer is compatible for this function in that it satisfies the temperature, pressure, and flow requirements of the system. The same precautions will be used as those for placing a fresh mixed bed ion exchanger in service.

All other ion exchange vessels that contain resin will be isolated during the cleanup. Periodic sampling of the RCS will be performed to verify effectiveness of the cleanup and verify RCS boron concentration is not affected by this evolution. This evolution will be performed with the unit at Cold Shutdown or Refueling Shutdown conditions. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Maintenance Operating Procedure (Safety Evaluation No.96-147 Rev. 1) 3/20/97 Maintenance Operating Procedure 1-MOP-Rl-001, "Removal and Return to Service of Annunciator Panels 1 A through 1 E or 1 F through 1 K," provides instructions for increased monitoring and compensatory measures required while the affected annunciator panels are removed from service for maintenance.

Work will be performed in the non-safety related logic panel or locally in the annunciator panels and will not affect any protection circuit or its isolation. Compensatory actions will be implemented in accordance with 1-MOP-Rl-001 to monitor the affected systems and components. There is no unreviewed safety question raised by this evolution, and the radiological consequences of previously analyzed accidents are not increased. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Maintenance Operating Procedure (Safety Evaluation No.97-049) 3/20/97 Maintenance Operating Procedure O-MOP-Rl-001, "Removal and Return to Service of The VS Annunciator Panels," provides instructions for increased monitoring and compensatory measures required while the affected annunciator panels are removed from service for maintenance.

Work will be performed in the non-safety related logic panel or locally in the annunciator panels and will not affect any protection circuit or its isolation. Compensatory actions will be implemented in accordance with O-MOP-Rl-001 to monitor the affected systems and components. There is no unreviewed safety question raised by this evolution, and the radiological consequences of previously analyzed accidents are not increased. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

The administrative controls were established to maintain the capability to isolate the non-essential SW flowpaths affected by the de-energized SW MOVs.

The subject manual isolation valves were controlled by a licensed operator who, if required, was capable of closing the valves within the time limit assumed as part of the design bases to ensure that intake canal inventory was maintained. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.

Maintenance Operating Procedure (Safety Evaluation No.97-051) 3/28/97 Maintenance Operating Procedure 1-MOP-DG-001, "Removal and Return to Service of the PDTI for Maintenance," provides instructions and limiting conditions for a Temporary Modification (TM) which would fail open 1-DG-PCV-100. This valve must be opened to provide a flowpath for the RCS loop drains and other drains to the Primary Drains Transfer Tank(PDTI).

The Primary Drains System is not addressed in any Technical Specification (TS) or Basis.

The TM does not increase the probability or consequence of a previously analyzed accident, nor does it increase the probability of an accident or malfunction of a different type. The margins of safety as defined in TS or the basis are not reduced. Therefore, an unreviewed safety question does not exist.
