1.0 DESCRIPTION

ATTACHMENT 1 DESCRIPTION AND ASSESSMENT L-2019-003 Page i' of7 Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), acting on behalf of itself and as agent for NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC and NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, requests adoption of TSTF-563, "Revise Instrument Testing Definitions to Incorporate the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."

TSTF-563 revises the Technical Specification (TS) definitions of Channel Calibration, Channel Operational Test (COT), and Trip Actuating Device Operational Test (TADOT) in the Point Beach,,

Units 1 and 2, TS; and Channel Calibration, Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT in the Seabrook, Unit 1, and Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, TS. All of the Channel Calibration definitions and the Point Beach COT and TADOT definitions currently permit performance by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. The Seabrook and Turkey Point definitions of Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT are revised to explicitly permit performance by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. The Channel Calibration, COT, Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT definitions are revised to allow the required frequency for testing the components or devices in each step to be determined in accordance with the TS Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

2.0 ASSESSMENT

2.1 Applicability

of Safety Evaluation FPL has reviewed the safety evaluation for TSTF-563 provided to the Technical Specifications Task Force in a letter dated December 4, 2018. This review included a review of the NRC staffs evaluation, as well as the information provided in TSTF-563. As described herein, FPL has concluded that the justifications presented in TSTF-563 and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to Turkey Point, Unit 3 and 4; Seabrook, Unit 1; and Point Beach, Units 1 and 2, and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to the Turkey Point, Seabrook, and Point Beach TS.

A Surveillance Frequency Control Program was incorporated into the Seabrook TS in a license amendment dated July 24, 2014 (NRC Agency Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13212A069).

A SilrVeillance Frequency Control Program was incorporated into the Turkey Point TS in a license amendment dated July 16, 2015 (NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML15166A320).

A Surveillance Frequency Control Program was incorporated into the Point Beach TS in a license amendment dated July 28, 2015 (NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML15195A201).

2.2 Optional Changes and Variations J

FPL is proposing the following variations from the TS changes described in the TSTF 563 or the applicable parts of the NRC staff's safety evaluation. The Turkey Point, Seabrook, and Point Beach TS contain requirements that differ from the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) on which TSTF-563 was based, but are encompassed in the TSTF-563 justification.

a) The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 and Seabrook Unit 1 TS are different from Revision 4 of the Westinghouse STS (NUREG-1431) on which TSTF-563 is based. The definition of Channel Calibration ha~ wording differences from the STS definition tli:a,t do not change the L~2019-003 Page 2 of7 intent. The Turkey Point and Seabrook TS Channel Calibration definition state, "The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel including the sensors and alarm, interlock and/ or trip functions and may be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps such that the entire channel is calibrated." The STS separates these concepts into two sentences. The latter portion states, "The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps." In the proposed change, a period is placed after the phrase "trip functions" to be consistent with the standard. Addition of the phrases "The CHANNEL CALIBRATION" and "means of is editorial and elimination of the phrase "so that the entire channel is calibrated" in the proposed change has no effect because the definition previously states that the Channel Calibration must encompass the entire channel.

b) The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4,and the Seabrook Unit 1 TS are different from Revision 4 of the Westinghouse STS (NUREG-1431) on which TSTF-563 is based. Unlike the definitions in the Westinghouse STS, the Turkey Point and Seabrook definitions of Trip Actuating Device Operational Test (TADOT) do not include a statement that the tests may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total chann~l steps. This provision was added to the STS definitions of COT and TADOT by TSTF-205-A, Revision 3, "Revision of Channel Calibration, Channel Functional Test, and Related Definitions," which was approved by the NRC on January 13, 1999 and incorporated into Revision 2 ofNUREG-1431. TSTF-205 described the change:

Other changes are made for consistency of the definitions between the ISTS NUREGs. The NUREG-1430 Channel Functional Test and NUREG 1431 Channel Operational Test definitions are modified to include the sentence, "The CHANNEL Fl)NCTIONAL (OPERATIONAL for NUREG 1431) TEST may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps." This allowance currently exists in the CEOG, BWR/ 4 and BWR/ 6 definitions of Channel Functional Test and is understood to apply"to the BWOG and WOG de!}.nitions, although not stated.... The changes proposed increase the consistency of the five NUREGs and are not intended to change the meaning or intent of the affected definitions. (emphasis added)

The addition of this sentence to the TADOT definitions i;; necessary to adopt TSTF-563 and, as stated in TSTF-205, is understood to apply to the existing definitions, although not explicitly stated. Therefore, adding the sentence does not change the intent of the existing definitions and permits adoption of TSTF-563.

c) The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 and the Seabrook Unit 1 TS are different from Revision 4 of the Westinghouse STS (NUREG-1431) on which TSTF-563 is based. Unlike the definitions in the Westinghouse STS, the Turkey Point and Seabrook definitions separate the Channel Operation Test definition into an "Analog COT" and "Digital COT." The Analog COT is defined as "An ANALOG CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST shall be the injection of a simulated signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify OPERABILITY of alarm, interlock and/ or trip functions. The ANALOG CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the alarm, interlock and/ or Trip Setpoints such that the Setpoints are within the required range and accuracy."

The Seabrook Unit 1 Digital COT is defined as, "A DIGITAL CHANNEL L-2019-003 Page 3 of7 OPERATIONAL 1EST shall consist of exercising the digital computer hardware using data base manipulation and/ or injecting simulated process data to verify OPERABILITY of alarm and/or trip functions. The Digital Channel Operational Test definition is only applicable to the Radiation Monitoring Equipment." The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 definition of Digital COT is "A DIGITAL CHANNEL OPERATIONAL 1EST shall be the injection of a simulated signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify OPERABILITY of alarm, interlock, and/or trip functions." The STS definition of COT is "A COT shall be the injection of a simulated or actual signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify OPERABILITY of all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY. The COT shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the required alarm, interlock, and trip setpoints required for channel OPERABILITY such that the setpoints are within the necessary range and accuracy. The COT may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps."

The Seabrook and Turkey Point division of the COT definition into definitions for Analog COT and Digital COT were added to the TS by Seabrook Amendment No. 7 (October 10, 1991, ADAMS Accession No. MLOl 1800188) and Turkey Point Amendment Nos. 140 and 135 (April 23, 1991, ADAMS Accession No. ML013380091). This difference does not affect the applicability of the changes proposed in TSTF-563. As discussed above, the STS permits the COT to be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. This provision was added to the STS definitions of COT by TSTF-205-A, Revision 3, "Revision of Channel Calibration, Channel Functional Test, and Related Definitions," which was approved by the NRC on January 13, 1999 and incorporated into Revision 2 ofNUREG-1431. TSTF-205 described the change:

Other changes are made for consistency of the definitions between the ISTS NUREGs. The NUREG-1430 Channel Functional Test and NUREG 1431 Channel Operational Test definitions are modified to include the sentence, "The CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL (OPERATIONAL for NUREG 1431) 1EST may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps." This allowance currently exists in the CEOG, BWR/ 4 and BWR/ 6 definitions of Channel Functional Test and is understood to apply to the BWOG and WOG definitions, although not stated.... The changes proposed increase the consistency of the five NUREGs and are not intended to change the meaning or intent of the affected definitions. (emphasis added)

The statement that the allowance to divide the performance of the COT into steps is understood to apply, although not stated, is equally applicable to the definitions of Analog COT and Digital COT. Therefore, adding the sentence does not change the intent of the existing definitions and permits adoption ofTSTF-563.

d) The traveler and Safety Evaluation discuss the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance, including the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC). Seabrook was licensed to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC.

. Point Beach, Units 1 and 2, and Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, were not licensed to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC, but were licensed to the applicable Atomic Energy Commiss1.on preliminary general design criteria identified in Federal Register 32 FR 10213, published July 11, 1967 (ADAMS Accession No. ML043310029). The applicable 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, L-2019-003 Page 4 of7 General Design Criteria were compared to the AEC proposed criteria, which are documented in the Point Beach and Turkey Point Updated Final Safety Analysis Reports (UFSARs), as discussed below.

TSTF-563 references 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 13, "Instrumentation and Control,"

which states:

Instrumentation shall be provided to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges for normal operation, for anticipated operational occurrences, and for accident conditions as appropriate to assure adequate safety, including those variables and systems that can affect the fission process, the integrity of the reactor core, the reactor coolant pressure boundary, and the containment and its associated systems. Appropriate controls shall be provided to maintain these variables and systems within prescribed operating ranges.

A design evaluation of GDC Criterion 13 is included in the Point Beach Units 1 and 2 UFSAR, Section 1.3.3.

A design evaluation of GDC Criterion 13 is included in the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 UFSAR, Section 1.3.3.

TSTF-563 references 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 21, "Protection System Reliability and Testability," which states:

The protection system shall be designed for high functional reliability and inservice testability commensurate with the safety functions to be performed. Redundancy and independence designed into the protection system shall be sufficient to assure that (1) no single failure results in loss of the protection function and (2) removal from service of any com'ponent or channel does not result in loss of the required minimum redundancy unless the acceptable reliability of operation of the protection system can be otherwise demonstrated. The protection system shall be designed to permit periodic testing of its functioning when the reactor is in operation, including a capability to test channels independently to determine failures and losses of redundancy that may have occurred.

A design evaluation of GDC Criterion 21 is included in the Point Beach Units 1 and 2 UFSAR, Section 1.3.4.

A design evaluation of GDC Criterion 21 is included in the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 UFSAR, Section 1.3.4.

Following implementation of the proposed change, Point Beach, Units 1 and 2; and Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, will remain in compliance with applicable AEC design criteria as described in their respective UFSARs. Therefore, this difference does not alter the conclusion that the proposed change is applicable to Point Beach and Turkey Point.

3.1 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

No Significant Hazards Consideration Analysis L-2019;-003 Page 5 of7 Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), acting on behalf of itself and as agent for N extEra Energy Seabrook, LLC and NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, requests adoption ofTSTF-563, "Revise Instrument 'testing Definitions to Incorporate the Surveillance Frequency Control Program."

TSTF-563 revises the Technical Specification (TS) definitions of Channel Calibration, Channel Operational Test (COT), and Trip Actuating Device Operational Test (TADOT) in the Point Beach, Units 1 and 2, TS; and Channel Calibration, Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT in the Seabrook, Unit 1; and Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4, TS. All of the Channel Calibration definitions and the Point Beach COT and TADOT definitions currently permit performance by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. The Seabrook and Turkey Point definitions of Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT are revised to explicitly permit performance by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. The Channel Calibration, Channel Functional Test, COT, Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT definitions are re~sed to allow the required frequency for testing the components or devices in each step to be determined in accordance with the TS *surveillance Frequency Control Program.

FPL has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed

  • arnendment(s) by focusing on the three standa,tds set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:
1.

Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed change revises the TS definitions of Channel Calibration, COT, Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT in the Point Beach, Seabrook, and Turkey Point TS to allow the frequency for testing the components or devices in each step to be determined in accordance

  • with the TS Surveillance Frequency Control Program. The proposed change also explicitly permits the Seabrook and Turkey Point Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT to be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. All components in the channel continue to be tested. The frequency at which a channel test is.performedls.*0 *.,

not an initiator of any accident previously evaluated, so the probability 'of an accident is not affected by the proposed change. The channels surveilled in accordance with the affected definitions continue to be required to be operable and the acceptance criteria of the surveillances are unchanged. As a result, any mitigating functions assumed in the accident analysis will continue to be performed.

Therefore, the proposed' change does not involve a significant jncrease in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2.

Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kin,d of accident from any previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed change revises the TS definitions of Channel Calibration, COT, Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT in the Point Beach, Seabrook, and Turkey Point TS to allow the frequency for testing the components or devices in each step to be determined in L-2019-003 Page 6 of7 accordance with the TS Surveillance Frequency Control Program. The proposed change also explicitly permits the Seabrook and Turkey Point Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT to qe performed by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps.

The design function or operation of the components involved are not affected and there is no physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new ;r different type of equipment will be installed). No credible new failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident initiators not considered in the design and licensing bases are introduced. The changes do not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis. The proposed changes are consistent with the safety

  • analysis assumptions.

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3.

Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No The proposed change revises the TS definitions of Channel Calibration, COT, Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT in the Point Beach, Seabrook; and Turkey Point TS to allow the frequency for testing the components or devices in each step to be determined in accordance with the TS Surveillance Frequency Control Program. The proposed change also explicitly permits the Seabrook and Turkey Point Analog COT, Digital COT, and TADOT to be performed by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps. The Surveillance Frequency Control Program assures sufficient safety margins are maintained and that design, operation, surveillance methods, and acceptance criteria specified in applicable codes and standards (or alternatives approved for use by-the NRC) will continue to be met as described in the plants' licensing basis. The proposed change does not adversely affect existing plant safety margins, or the reliability of the equipment assumed to operate in the safety analysis.

As such, there are no changes being made to safety analysis assumptions, safety limits, or limiting safety system settings that would adversely affect plant safety as a result of the proposed change. Margins of safety are unaffected by method of determining surveillance test intervals under ati NRC-approved licensee-controlled program.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

r Based on the above, FPL concludes that the proposed change presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

3.2.

Conclusion In c'onclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION L-2019-003 Page 7 of 7.

The proposed change would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed change does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amount~ of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radi~tion exposure. Accordingly, the proposed change meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed change.
