Millstone - Unit 1 1.1-1 Amendment No. 106

Nov 9, 1999 Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.

Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions, Completion Times, Surveillances, and Frequencies. The only logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and OR. The physical arrangement of these connectors constitutes logical conventions with specific meanings.

BACKGROUND Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions.

These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action. The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the logical connector in the first level of nesting (i.e., left justified with the number of the Required Action). The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors.

When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors.

Millstone - Unit 1 1.2-1 Amendment No. 106

Nov 9, 1999 Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors EXAMPLES (continued)

EXAMPLE 1.2-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A.1 Verify....

A. LCO not met AND A.2 Restore.....

In this example the logical connector AND is used to indicate that when in Condition A, both Required Actions A.1 and A.2 must be completed.

Millstone - Unit 1 1.2-2 Amendment No. 106

Nov 9, 1999 Logical Connector 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors EXAMPLES (continued)

EXAMPLE 1.2-2 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met A.1 Trip.....

OR A.2.1 Verify.....

AND A.2.2 Reduce This example represents a more complicated use of logical connectors. Required Actions A.1 and A.2 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed as indicated by the use of the logical connector OR and the left justified placement. Either of the Actions may be chosen. If A.2 is chosen, then both A.2.1 and A.2.2 must be performed as indicated by the logical connector AND.

Millstone - Unit 1 1.2-3 Amendment No. 106

Nov 9, 1999 Completion Times 1.3 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.3 Completion Times PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.

BACKGROUND Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) specify minimum requirements for ensuring the safe storage of irradiated fuel. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Times(s).

DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time of discovery of a situation (e.g., variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the unit is in a MODE or specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the unit is not within the LCO Applicability.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of Completion Times with different types of Conditions.

Millstone - Unit 1 1.3-2 Amendment No. 106

Nov 9, 1999 Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements.

DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated LCO. An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR.

The Specified Frequency is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0, Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability. The Specified Frequency consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR, as well as certain Notes in the Surveillance column that modify performance requirements.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified. In these examples, the Applicability of the LCO (LCO not shown) is when irradiated fuel is stored in the fuel pool.

(continued)

Millstone - Unit 1 1.4-1 Amendment No. 106

Nov 9, 1999 Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES (continued)

EXAMPLE 1.4-1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify parameter is within limits 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Example 1.4-1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time. Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 3.0.1 (such as when a variable is outside specified limits, or the unit is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the unit is in the specified condition in the Applicability of the LCO, and the performance of the Surveillance is not otherwise modified, then SR 3.0.3 becomes applicable.

(continued)

Millstone - Unit 1 1.4-2 Amendment No. 106

Nov 9, 1999 Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES (continued)

EXAMPLE 1.4-2 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> prior to moving irradiated fuel Verify parameter is within limits AND 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter Example 1.4-2 has two Frequencies. The first is a one time performance Frequency, and the second is of the type shown in Example 1.4-1. The logical connector AND indicates that both Frequency requirements must be met. The use of prior to indicates that the surveillance must be performed once before the initiation of fuel handling activities. This type of Frequency does not qualify for the extension allowed by SR 3.0.2. Thereafter indicates future performances must be established per SR 3.0.2, but only after a specified condition is first met (i.e.,

the prior to performance in this example).

Nov 9, 1999 SR Applicability 3.0 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY SR 3.0.1 SRs shall be met during specific conditions in the Applicability for individual LCOs unless otherwise stated in the SR. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the LCO. Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the LCO except as provided in SR 3.0.3. Surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment or variables outside specified limits SR 3.0.2 The specified Frequency for each SR is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the frequency is met.

SR 3.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the LCO not met may be delayed from the time of discovery up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified frequency, whichever is less. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the surveillance.

If the Surveillance is not performed within the delay period, the LCO must immediately be declared not met and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered. The Completion Times of the Required Actions begin immediately upon expiration of the delay period.

When the Surveillance is performed within the delay period and the Surveillance is not met, the LCO must immediately be declared not met and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered. The Completion Times of the Required Actions begin immediately upon failure to meet the Surveillance.

LCO 3.0.1 LCO 3.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement within each individual specification as the requirement for when the LCO is required to be met (i.e., when the facility is in the specified conditions of the Applicability statement of each specification).

LCO 3.0.2 LCO 3.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the associated ACTIONS shall be met. The Completion Time of each Required Action for an ACTIONS Condition is applicable from the point in time that an ACTIONS Condition is entered. The Required Actions establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified Completion Times when the requirements of an LCO are not met. This specification establishes that:

a. Completion of the Required Actions within the specified Completion Times constitutes compliance with a specification; and
b. Completion of the Required Actions is not required when an LCO is met within the specified Completion Time, unless otherwise specified.

Completing the Required Actions is not required when an LCO is met or is no longer applicable, unless otherwise stated in the individual Specifications. The Completion Times of the Required Actions are also applicable when a specified condition in the Applicability is entered intentionally. The reasons for intentionally relying on the ACTIONS include, but are not limited to, performance of Surveillances, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, or investigation of problems.

Entering ACTIONS for these reasons must be done in a manner that does not compromise the safe storage of irradiated fuel. Intentional entry into ACTIONS should not be made for convenience.

Nov 9, 1999 SR Applicability B 3.0 B 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY BASES SRs SR 3.0.1 through 3.0.3 establish the general requirements applicable to all Specifications and apply at all times, unless otherwise specified.

SR 3.0.1 SR 3.0.1 establishes the requirement that SRs must be met during the specified conditions in the Applicability for which the requirements of the LCO apply, unless otherwise specified in the individual SRs. This Specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify that variables are within specified limits. Failure to meet a Surveillance within the specified Frequency, in accordance with SR 3.0.2, constitutes a failure to meet an LCO.

Surveillances do not have to be performed when the facility is in a specified condition for which the requirements of the associated LCO are not applicable, unless otherwise specified.

SR 3.0.2 SR 3.0.2 permits a 25% extension of the interval specified in the Frequency. This extension facilitates Surveillance scheduling and considers facility conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the Surveillance (e.g., other ongoing Surveillance or maintenance activities).

The 25% extension does not significantly degrade the reliability that results from performing the Surveillance at its specified Frequency. This is based on the recognition that the most probable result of any particular Surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the SRs. Any exceptions to SR 3.0.2 are stated in the individual Specifications.

The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are not intended to be used repeatedly merely as a convenience to extend Surveillance intervals or periodic Completion Time intervals beyond those specified.

Nov 9, 1999 SR Applicability B 3.0 B 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY BASES SR 3.0.3 SR 3.0.3 establishes the flexibility to defer declaring an affected variable outside the specified limits when a Surveillance has not been completed within the specified Frequency. A delay period of up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> applies from the point of time that it is discovered that the Surveillance has not been performed in accordance to SR 3.0.2, and not at the time that the specified Frequency was not met.

This delay period provides adequate time to complete Surveillances that have been missed. This delay period permits the completion of a Surveillance before complying with Required Actions or other remedial measures that might preclude completion of the Surveillance.

The basis for this delay period includes consideration of facility conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time required to perform the Surveillance, the safety significance of the delay in completing the required Surveillance, and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular Surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the requirements. When a Surveillance with a Frequency based not on time intervals, but upon specified facility conditions or operational situations, is discovered not to have been performed when specified, SR 3.0.3 allows the full delay period of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to perform the Surveillance.

Failure to comply with specified Frequencies for SRs is expected to be an infrequent occurrence. Use of the delay period established by SR 3.0.3. is a flexibility which is not intended to be used as a convenience to extend Surveillance intervals.

Nov 9, 1999 SR Applicability B 3.0 B 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY BASES SR 3.0.3 (continued)

If a Surveillance is not completed within the allowable delay period, then the variable is considered outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable LCO Conditions begin immediately upon expiration of the delay period. If a Surveillance is failed within the delay period, then the variable is outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable LCO Conditions begin immediately upon failure of the Surveillance.

Completion of the Surveillance within the delay period allowed by this Specification, or within the Completion Time of the ACTIONS, restores compliance with SR 3.0.1.

Fuel Storage Pool Water Level B 3.1 B 3.1 DEFUELED SYSTEMS B 3.1.1 FUEL STORAGE POOL WATER LEVEL BASES BACKGROUND The minimum water level in the spent fuel storage pool meets the assumptions of iodine decontamination factors following a fuel handling accident. A general description of the spent fuel storage pool design is found in Chapter 3 of the DSAR, (Ref. 1). The assumptions of the fuel handling accident are found in Chapter 5 of the DSAR (Ref. 2).

APPLICABLE Although the unit is permanently shutdown and defueled, SAFETY fuel handling accidents in the fuel storage pool are still ANALYSIS possible.

A bounding calculation of the radiological consequences of such an accident in the spent fuel pool was performed, based on the following:

  • Actual source term - radioactive decay since shutdown credited
  • Failure of four assemblies - 248 fuel rods in four 8 x 8 assemblies
  • Unfiltered ground release - no credit for secondary containment or standby gas treatment The analysis concluded that 1) calculated doses at the exclusion area boundary and the low population zone are within 10CFR100 limits; and 2) calculated doses to the Millstone Unit 2 and 3 Control Rooms are within the limits set in GDC -19.

The bottom of the fuel storage pool is located at elevation of 69 feet, 9 inches above mean sea level (MSL). Therefore, the 33 feet limit corresponds to an elevation of 102 feet, 9 inches above MSL.

This water level preserves the assumptions of the fuel handling accident analysis and provides shielding to minimize the general area dose when irradiated fuel is being moved.

APPLICABILITY This LCO applies whenever irradiated fuel assemblies are stored in the fuel storage pool.

ACTIONS A.1 When the initial conditions for an accident cannot be met, action should be taken to preclude the accident from occurring. When the fuel storage pool level is lower than the required level, fuel handling activities should be suspended immediately. This does not preclude movement of items to a safe position.

Fuel handling activities as described in this specification include the movement of spent fuel, or other loads suspended from the fuel building crane or refueling machine, over irradiated fuel assemblies.

This effectively precludes a fuel handling accident from occurring.

A.2 This action is intended to restore the fuel storage pool level as soon as possible to minimize the time that the water level assumed in the accident analysis is not being met.

March 7, 2000 Fuel Storage Pool Water Level B 3.1 BASES SR 3.1.1 SURVEILLANCE This SR ensures that the water level is within the established REQUIREMENTS limit. The water level in the fuel storage pool must be checked periodically. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Frequency is based on engineering judgement and is considered adequate because of available indication of level changes and the large volume of water in the pool. Water level changes are controlled by facility procedures and level changes are unlikely based on operating experience.

Reactor Building Crane Operability B 3.2 B 3.2 SPENT FUEL HANDLING B 3.2.1 REACTOR BUILDING CRANE OPERABILITY BASES BACKGROUND The purpose of this specification is to preclude the possibility of dropping a spent fuel cask over irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool.

A description of the Reactor Building crane design improvements was provided by the licensee to the NRC on June 29, 1973. The modification improvements were described as a Cask Drop Prevention System. By letter dated December 30, 1975, the NRC informed the licensee that the proposed improvements were acceptable. However, the NRC also requested the licensee to submit proposed Technical Specifications to assure safe operation and continued surveillance of the Reactor Building crane. The licensee submitted the proposed Technical Specifications on April 1, 1976, and the NRC approved new Technical Specifications, including the Crane Operability LCO, as Amendment 27 to License No. DPR-21.

APPLICABLE The Cask Drop Prevention System utilizes a redundant SAFETY hoist system rated at 110 tons for the main hoist. This ANALYSIS redundant system ensures that a load will not be dropped for all postulated credible single-component failures. The range of component failure examined extends over the total load path from the cask trunnions through the cask lifting yoke and redundant hoist system to the crane bridge structure. In addition, once the crane is set into the cask handling mode, its travel over the fuel pool will be limited to the cask storage area of the spent fuel pool. The operability requirements of the Reactor Building crane ensure that all redundant features of the crane have been adequately inspected.

Spent fuel cask drop over irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool is precluded by these features as well as the features described in LCO and Surveillance Requirement 3.2.2 of these Technical Specifications.

March 7, 2000 Reactor Building Crane Operability B 3.2 B 3.2 SPENT FUEL HANDLING B 3.2.1 Reactor Building Crane Operability BASES LCO The Reactor Building crane is required to be OPERABLE. The operability is established by:

  • a visual inspection of the crane cables, sheaves, hook, yoke, and cask lifting trunnions,
  • conducting no-load mechanical and electrical tests to verify proper operation of crane controls, brakes and lifting speeds,
  • conducting a load test by lifting an empty cask out of the pivot cradle.

Maintaining the Reactor Building crane OPERABLE preserves the assumption of preventing a cask drop accident.

APPLICABILITY This LCO applies whenever the Reactor Building crane is used for handling of a spent fuel cask.

ACTIONS A.1 When the operability requirements for the Reactor Building crane cannot be met, steps should be taken to preclude a Spent Fuel Cask drop accident from occurring. Fuel cask handling activities should be suspended immediately and the load placed in a safe condition.

This will effectively preclude a spent fuel cask drop accident from occurring.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.2.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies operability of the Reactor Building crane and ensures that the redundant features of the crane have been adequately inspected. The redundant hoist system ensures that a load will not be dropped for all postulated credible single-component failures. The Frequency is appropriate because operability is required to be established before Spent Fuel Cask handling operations commence.

March 7, 2000 Reactor Building Crane Travel with a Spent Fuel Cask B 3.2 B 3.2 SPENT FUEL HANDLING B 3.2.2 REACTOR BUILDING CRANE TRAVEL WITH A SPENT FUEL CASK BASES BACKGROUND The purpose of this specification is to preclude the possibility of dropping a spent fuel cask over irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool. The Reactor Building crane has a 2-position mode switch which is designed to restrict crane motion, when in Mode 2, as follows:

  • It prevents a spent fuel cask height above the refueling floor not greater than 6 inches, and
  • It establishes a predetermined path which specifically excludes the area above irradiated fuel by interlocks and limit switches.

This specification, in conjunction with LCO 3.2.1, ensures that a fuel cask drop over irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool is prevented from occurring.

APPLICABLE The Cask Drop Prevention System features a single-failure SAFETY proof design that prevents a spent fuel cask drop over the ANALYSIS fuel storage pool with resultant damage to irradiated fuel and/or plant equipment and structures. Once the Reactor Building crane mode switch is set into the cask handling mode, its travel over the fuel storage pool will be limited to the cask storage area of the fuel pool. This design feature as well as associated crane interlocks and limit switches ensure that a spent fuel cask drop will not occur over the irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool.

An event initiated by a spent fuel cask drop over the irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool is precluded by these features as well as the features described in LCO and Surveillance Requirement 3.2.1 of these Technical Specifications.

March 7, 2000 Reactor Building Crane Travel with a Spent Fuel Cask B 3.2 B 3.2 SPENT FUEL HANDLING B 3.2.2 Reactor Building Crane Travel with a Spent Fuel Cask BASES LCO The Reactor Building crane mode switch is required to be in the Mode 2 position with its key removed. This mode switch position is an engineered control which restricts crane travel to a path which excludes the area above the irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool.

Also, the height of a spent fuel cask loaded on the crane is restricted to a height of no greater than 6 inches above the refueling floor.

Maintaining the Reactor Building crane mode switch, associated crane limit switches, and interlocks preserves the assumption of preventing a cask drop accident.

APPLICABILITY This LCO applies whenever the Reactor Building crane is used for handling of a spent fuel cask.

ACTIONS A.1 When the mode switch requirements for the Reactor Building crane cannot be met, steps should be taken to preclude a spent fuel cask drop accident from occurring. Fuel cask handling activities should be suspended immediately and the load placed in a safe condition.

This will effectively preclude a spent fuel cask drop accident from occurring.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.2.2 REQUIREMENTS This SR demonstrates operability of the Reactor Building crane interlocks and limit switches which restricts the height of the crane load (i.e., the spent fuel cask bottom) to no more than 6 inches above the refueling floor and restricts crane path from traveling over the irradiated fuel assemblies.

The Frequency is appropriate because operability is established before spent fuel cask handling operations start and operability is periodically assured during spent fuel cask handling.
