SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETING WITH AIF SUBCOMMITTEE ON TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IMPROVEMENT - WOLF CREEK TS SPLIT The NRC staff and the AIF TS subcommittee members met on January 28, 1986 in Bethesda, MD. te discuss Westinghouse - Wolf Creek Technical Specifications split using AIF/TSIP proposed criteria.
The purpose of this working session was to:
1.
determine validity and usefulness of the criteria; 2.
identify areas of agreement and disagreement of Wolf Creek TS split; 3.
discuss the differences and resolve these issues; and 4
identify any defects within the criteria for improvement or clarity.
Our meeting was constructive and helpful to all parties. The overall ccnclusion was that the proposed criteria work very well, however, criterion
- 2 and #3 need further clarity to be completely effective.
The Wolf Creek Technical Specifications have 133 Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO). Our Wolf Creek TS split corrparison identified 34 LC0 as disegreements between the staff and the AIF. These 34 LC0 were discussed in detail for resolution. Out of these 34 LCO, we resolved the disagreement for 22 during this working session. The remaining 12 LC0 represent the differences due to criteria definition and interpretation, surveillance assurance requirements and surveillance of instrumentation related issues as listed below:
1.
Criteria Jefinional Differences LC0 3.1.1.3 Moderator Temperature coefficient (MTC)
' C0 3.2.2 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - FQ(Z)
LCO 3.2.3 RCS Flow Rate and Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor LCO 3.6.1.2 Containment Leakage 2.

LC0 3.4.10 Structural Integrity (Inservice Inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 components including each reactor coolant pump flywheel and inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 pumps and valves)
LC0 3.7.8 Snubbers (Inservice Visual Inspections of Snubbers) 3.
Surveillance Instrumentation (These requirements can be combined with other LCO as surveillance requirements)
LCO 3.1.3.2 Control Rod Position Indication Systems - Operating (Digital and Demand)
LC0 3.1.3.3 Control Rod Position Indication Systems - Shutdown (Digital only - for Centrol Rods not fully inserted)
LCO 3.1.3.4 Pod Drop Time LCO 3.7.12 Area Temperature Monitoring 4
LCO 3.4.9.1 RCS - Pressure / Temperature Limits (Reactor Vessel material Surveillance Program required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix H and ASME Section 111 Appendix G)
This meeting was our first attempt for the criteria application to the Wolf Creek TS.
It is believed that the 12 remaining areas of disagreement can be resolved at future meetings between the NRC and the AIF.
The staff and the AIF TS subconmittee members are in the process of preparing a similar TS split for Linerick - a BWR plant. We plan to meet on February 26, 1986 todiscusstheresultofthiswork.

ATTACHMENT 1 Criterion 1: An installed system that is used to detect, by monitors in the control room a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, or:
DISCUSSI_0_N: A basic concept in the protection of the public health and safety is the prevention of accidents. Systems are installed to detect significant abncrmal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure buundary so as to allow operator actions to either correct the condition or to shutdown the plant safely, thus reducing the likelihood of a loss of coolant accioent.
This criterion is intended to ensure that Technical Specifications control those systems that detect excessive reactor coolant system leakage. Two specific examples of systems which are selected using Criterion 1 are:
Secondary System Radiation Monitors Reactor Building Sump Level Instrumentation Criterion 2: A process variable that is an initial condition of the Design Basis Accident Analysis, cr; DISCUSSION: Another basic concept in the protection of the public health and safety is that the plant shall be operated within the bounds of the initial conditions assumed in the existing Design Basis Accident (DBA) analysis. These analyses consist of postulated events, analyzed in the FinalSafetyAnalysisReport(F5AR)ionalgoals.
for which a structure, system, or com>onent must meet specified funct These analyses are contained in Chapters 6 and 15 of the F5AR (or equivalent chapters) and are identified as Condition II III or IV events (ANSI N 18.2) (or equivalent) that either assume the failure o,f or present a challenge to the ir.tr.grity of a fission product barrier.
Process variables are parameters for which specif(c values or ranges of values have been chosen as reference bounds in DBA analyses ard which are monitored and controlled in actual operation such that process values remain within the analysis bounds.
The purpose of this criterion is to capture those process variables that have initial values assumed in the DBA analyses, which are monitored and controlled. So long as these variables are maintained within the established values, risk to the public safety is presumed to be acceptably low.
2-Implicit in this criterion is the associated installed control room instrumentation that monitors and/or controls the selected process vairiable. Two specific examples of process variables selected using Criterion 2 are:
Koveable Group Assembly Rod Insertion Limits Deactor Coolant System Pressure Limits Criterion 3: A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path of a safety sequence analysis and functions or actuates to mitigate a Design Basis Accident.
DISCUSSION: A third concept in the protection of the public health and safcty is that in the event that a postulated DBA should occur, structures, systems, and components are available to function or to actuate in order to mitigate the consequence of the DBA. Safety sequence analyses or equivalent have been performed in recent years and provide a method of presenting the plant response to an accident.
A safety sequence analysis is a systematic examinaticn of the actions required to mitigate the consequences of events considered in the plant's DBA analysis, as presented in Chapters 6 and 15 of the plant's Final Safety Analysis Report. Such a safety sequcnce analysis considers all applicable events, whether explicitly or implicitly presented. The primary success path of a safety Jequence analysis consists of those actions assumed in the design basis accident analysis which limit the consequences of the events to within the appropriate acceptance criterja.
It is the intent of this criterion to capture into Technical Specifications only those structures, systems, components that are part of the primary succpss path of a safety sequence analysis.
Implicit in this criterion are those support systems that are necessary for items in the primary success path to successfully function. The primary success path is equivalent for each DBA to the combinations and sequences of equipment assumed to operate when responding to the event which results in acceptable plant accidant response (including consideration of the single failure criterion).
Two specific examples of structures, systems, and components which are selected using Criterion 3 are:

DRAFT TEST APPLICATION OF TSIP TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SELECTION CRITERIA "o
TEST APPLICATION OF TSIP TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SELECTION CRITERIA TO VOLF CREEK TiiCHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Backcround: On September 30, 1985, the Final Report of the Technical SpecificationImprovem:ntProjectwasforwardedtoHaroldDenton. This report discussed the problems assou.ted with Technical Specifications and included conclusions and recomendations of T5IP. One of the three root problems was lack of well defined criteria for what requirements should be included in Technical Specifications. T5IP recomended that a Comission Policy Statement be prepared to articulate the scope and putpose of Technical Specifications.
This Policy Statement would include specific criteria to identify Technical Specification content. After many discussions, including meetings with the AIF and the T5IP Advisory Group, criteria for selecting Technical Specifications were derived and recomended. These criteria would be used on a voluntary basis by licensees to determine which requirements would remain in Technical Specifications and which requirements would be placed in another controlled document. Detailed discussions on the criteria can be found in the T51P Final Report, Section 2.2.1, and in the AIF Technical Specification Ic:provement Report of October 1, 1985 (letter to H. Denton from M. Edelman dated October 8,1985). It was determined that one of the next necessary steps was to apply the criteria. This report describes this first appiitation of the recomended criteria.

Description:==
The purpose of this trial application is to verify that the criteria work as described in the TSIP report and, if not, to make recommendations as to how the criteria should be altered or supplemented.
This application is also intended to provide the Technical Specification Coordination Branch (TSCB) with detailed results for their consideration and to serve as a basis for continuing dialogue with the industry and HRC staff. Verification of the success of the criteria is based on their practicality and clarity for application and a review of whether the final Technical Specifications capture those systems, components, and variables most important to safety. This determination is obviously based on judgement. In addition, special attention was paid to those LCOs that would be removed from Technical Specifications and have Action Statement that limit reactor power in some way, including shutdown. Each of these specifications.was specifically noted and recocnendations made on where they should gc.
This trial application is made on one PWR and one BWR set of Technical Specifications. The PVR used was Wolf Creek. The EVR used was Limerick.
The criteria are shown in Attachment I with supporting discussion (AIF report).
Included in this report are detailed results, conclusions and recommendations. These conclusions and recommendations, especially the reconoendations, should be considered preliminary. It is hoped that they will serve as a point of departure for the TSCB to continue dialogue with the industry and the NRC staff.
Results: Enclosures I and 2 provide the detailed results of the trial application. Enclosure 1 is the application of the criteria to the Wolf Creek Technical Specifications. Enclosure 2 covers the Limerick application.
Each Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) in Section 3 of each plant's Technical Specifications is listed individually with its purpose (s). A column is then provided to indicate whether the specification remains in the tech-specs, or not, and if it remains, which criterion apply. The next column states d ether or rat the associated ACTION STATEMENT for the LCO requires a reactor shutdown after some time, or limits reactor power in some way. The last column provides coments and is intended to address:
1.
Interpretations of or difficulties with the criteria.
2.
Appropriate coments on the LCO importance (subjective criteria) 3.
Weaknesses in the BASES.
. provides a " count" of limiting conditions of operation (LCO) for ehchsetofTechnicalSpecificationstoprovideaperspectiveofhowmanystay and leave following the application of the criteria. Also indicated are how many LCOs have a reactor power limitation and how many do not. It is estimat(d that these criteria would allow placing about 40% of the current LCOs in other controlled documents. is a listing, or potpourri, of insights and comments thht should be used to supplement the details of enclosures 1 and 2, and this criteria application in general.
- Enclosure 5 is a discussion and list of the Limiting conditions of Operation (LCOs) that would leave the Technical Specifications, but have a power limitation of some sort.
==
Conclusions:==
1.
The proposed criteria, in general, provide on effective means to determine which Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO)s) should remain
~
in the Technical Specifications. With some exceptions, which are rather minor, the rer.aining LCOs appear to address those systems and components which are of immediate importance to the public health and safety. This conclusion is based on judgement regarding what systems are necessary to shutdown the reactor, cool the reactor, and provide containment. (To the extent possittle, risk assessment insights were considered - Core neit or core damage risk ar.d public health risk).
2.
Some rather unimportant (from a risk perspective) LCO's remain in the Technical Specifications. These include safety analysis initial conditions and non-reactor related requirements such as rad-vaste tank limits.
3.
Several minor problems with the criteria ant the supplementary information, such as definitions, were encountered:
6-a.
The term, " Design Basis Accident (DBA)" is not precise enough, causes confusion, and in some respects is wrong. The AIF report describes a DBA as a hypothetical event that is not expected to occur (pg.12). Yet, the definition of DBA on pg.14 includes Condition 11 events which are anticipated events analyzed in the FSAR.
b.
The criteria do not cover the normal decay heat removal function provided by the residual heat removal system.
c.
The criteria do not clearly cover the reactor vessel pressure-temperature limits during all modes of operation (see g below).
d.
Criterion 1 refers to systems to detect abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary in the control room. The "in the control room" limitatien appests to be an extraneous holdover from earlier proposed criteria.
e.
The term " process variable" in criterion 2 does not include, conditions, or assumptions which are important initial conditions of a Chapter 15 safety analysis. An example is the pressure interlocks on the RHR suction valves. These interlocks help limit LOCA; tc thos; that occur inside the containment. An interfacing systems LOCA is beyond the design basis.
- f.
None of the criteria c::plicitly treat the refueling mode.
g.
Lov temperature overpressure protection transient analyses is not ecnsidered under Criterion 2 and Criterion 3.
This analysis is not found in Chapter 6 or 15.
Recomendations:
1.
This trial application, with the several problems and proposed solutions, should be considered by the TSCB and used as a basis for discussion with NRC and industry. The criteria worked reasonably well considering that this was the first real application.
2.
To support the subjective criteria, which pertains only to reactor operation, Criteria 2 and 3 should only apply to reactor transients and accidents analyzed in the F5AR. This clarification would remove all "non-reactor" LCO's (rad-waste tank limits) and possibly some refueling requirements. Previous studies such as VASH-1400 Jave estiented the rit L associated with all sources of radioactivity on a site. Studies conclude that a gross release of radioactivity can occur only if fuel melts and that, while releases involving waste storage tents would be " troublesome" particularly to in plant personnel, they could not result in public consequences nearly as serious as eccidents involving melting of fuel in the reactor core or spent fuel pool.
.g.
3.
The term Design Basis Accident should be replaced by safety analysis,"
" transients e.nd accidents," or a similar term, supplemented by the current AIF discussion of Condition II, III and IV events.
4.
The discussion on Criterion 3 should make it clear that decay heat removal is a necessary part of a primary success path for core cooling, such that the Residual Heat Removal System is included in the Technical Specifications.
5.
Criterion 2 discussion should be clarified such that conditions or assumptiens (like the RHR interlocks) which are feportant bounds of the safety analysis are covered.
6.
The phrase by monitt:rs in the control room" should be deleted from the first criterion.
7.
Lov temperature overpressure protection transient analyses should be considered part of the safety analysis (currently DEA) envelope, such that it is covered by Criterion 2 and Criterjon 3.)
8.
k'hile the criteria have been successful in focusing on the t.ey safety systems, the Technical Specifications, because the criteria tre based on the traditional licensing approach, will have requirements that are auch less icportant than others. It is recommended that ACTION

ENCLOSURE 5 Limitino Cenditions for Operatien with Action Statements that Limit Reatter Power Based on the enclosed split, 14 LCOs are in this category for Wolf Creek.
LCOs are in this category for Limerick. This number is viewed to be quite small and their disposition or arguments concerning disposition, will hopefully not detract from the overall Technical Specifiestion improves.ent program objectives. Retomended dispomion is assigned in the Enclosure 5.
Some judgements are i sry close calls. Yvo points should be made. First, these items as a whole appear to have more safety significance than most (.COs removed.
Second, a reasonable argument to keep these requirements ir Technical Specifications, so that all such requirements are in one place, can be made.
This argument should not yet be discounted. Fe11owing is a list of the LCOs for each set of Technical Specifications.
Information is provided for each LCO that should be useful in making a final determination.

. 3.1. 2. 2/3.1. 2. 4 /3.1. 2. 6 - Boration Control - With RCS temperature equal to or greater than 350'F, a minimum of 2 boron injection flow paths are required to meet the single failure criterion. The technical basis for the requirement is to provide a shutdown cargin of 1.3% a t/k after xenon decay and cool down from operating conditions. Criterion 3, although it is not stated, only progresses to hot shutdown - since Chapter 15 si. ops at het shutdown also. Foration is necessary to proceed to cold shutdown. It is judged to be of low risk significance, but is clearly more important than many other LCOs be'ng removed.
3.3.3.5 Remote Shutdown Instrumentation - This requirement is to satisfy
~
GDC 19 on shutdown from outside the control room and Appendix R safe shutdown. Remote shutdown is not a primary success path. However, manual actions, based on plant conditions indicated to the operator, have Men found to be important in at least one PRA fire analysis.
3.3 3.6 Accident Monitorina Instrumentation - This requirement is consistent with revision 2 of Reg. Guide 1.97. Reactor trip system and Engineered Safety features Actuation System instrumer.tation appears to provide many of the same key parameters (although the range may be more limited). In ad"dition, RTS anc' ESTAS requirements apparently do not cover the control room indication which is the focus of this requirement.
3.4.3 Pressurizer Heaters - Pressurizer heaters allow pressure control to be maintained by the pressurizer and enhances the capability to esthblish natural circulation. They are not credited in any safety analysis. Iney are nomally not modeled in a PRA since core cooling can be maintained vithout them.
3.4.7 Chemistry - These requirements are intended to ensure that corrosion of the RCS is ne.3imized and to reduce the potential for leakage or failure due to stress co resion. Based on discussions with Chemical Engineering Branch personnel, the " leak before break" studies consider poor chemistry control.
- Further, industry programs have been initiated that control reactor water chemistry that are more conservative than the Technical Specifications.
Some utilities however, are apparently ng involved in these Owners Group programs.
3.4.9.2 Pressurizer Pressure - Temperature _ Limits - The Technical Specification BASES do not discuss these limits.
It is judged that these limits are not of imediate importance since the reactor vessel is the most limiting component and the vessel pressure temperature limits remain in Technical Specifications. The differential temoerature limit on the spray nozzle is noted to be very large, and practically speaking, very difficult to violate (maximum spray water temperature differential of 583*F).
3.4.H Reactor Coolant System Vents - The vents are provided to exhaust non-condensibles that could inhibit natural circulation core cooling. The vent requirement stems directly from Three Mile Island accident and ensures the capability to perform the venting funt' ion.
3.6.4 Combustible Gas Control (Hydrooen Analyzer and Hydrocen Mixing) - These s'vstems and the basis for the requirements are discussed in Chapter 6 of the FiAR. From the standpoint of the transient and accident analysis, and Criterion 3, tnese requirements would leave the Technical Specifications.
Reading of Chapter 6 sakes this a close call in that a small fraction (5%)
of the core is assumed to react to produce hydrogen and serves as the design bases for these requirements. This culd be interpreted lo mean including the requirements under Criterion L 3.7.2 Steam Generator Pressure - T tperature Limits - While steam generator i
press;;te and temperature cre process variables, the basis for these lititt is the brittle fracture concern of the steam generator (RT-h"J3T = 60*F). The limit is 70'F h2 200 psi which does not tppear to come into Disy at operating temperature and pressure or when using the steam generator to
-4 remove decay heat. The survellisnce only applies when water temperature is less than 70*F. This specification was not judged to meet any of the criteria.
3.7.8 Snubbers - While the snubbers are important to the dynamir response of the piping, components and systems they support, snubbers are judged as not seeting Criterion 3.
They are viewed as part of the piping design, which is not (and need not be) included in Techaical Specifications in its entirety.
In cperable snubbers would still nquire an engineering analysis and determination as to the " operability" of the system they support. This issue relates directly to any future work done on the operability definitiot:.
~
3.8.4 Electrical Equipment Protective Devices - These devices are required to protect containmer.t electrical penetrations and penetration conductors.
They do not meet any of the criteria. (The list of devices is the largest single LCO (by page volute) in this set of Technical Specifications). The primary success path of concern here appears to be contairrent integrity, hovercr. these requirements are not judged to be a direct support system for this success path.

COMMO."I 1.
In todes 1 and 2, 31utdc a Margin (SDM) is not a "pmcess variable".
In modes 3 and 4 shutdown margin satisfies criteria #2 because SDM can be controlled via boron ooncentration.
2.
Criteria satisfied, based on info ution on Baron Dilution DBA htich requires boron injection for accident citigation - A plant specific DBA requirenent.
3 Redundant to ECCS Tech Spec.
4.
Criteria #3 satisfied because operable implies Trippable.
5 Ihe ROS now should be included with the Dl3 Tech Spec (3/4.2 5).
6.
The tech spec should only f nelude insts. asstned in the safety Analysis, for exa=ple, Int. Range I.evel Reactor Trip abould be deleted.
7 New Fuel Pool Radiation Honitcr not asstzned in any DBA analysis,
- therefore ocit fn:n Tech Spec.
8.
Instrtraentation needed to go from an accident condition to a Safe Shutdown condit. ion would satisfy criteria #3 and should be retained in the specs.
Any redundant insts. or insts required for-ER3 reasons should be renoved f rom the spe based on EGR's not being in the PSAR.
9 Criteria #3 satisfied, per FSAR Chapter 15 state =ent that S.G.
bMwdown automatically isolates on Hi Radiation Alaru. Other insts.
e assumed in Safety Analysis should be removed frcn the Spec.
10.
Insts. assu::ed in Safety balysis in TS 3 3 310 and 3 3 311 should be relocated to T.S. 3 3 31, then these two specs could be de.leted.
11.
Since the LCO surveillance is on flow and the D!G Tech Spee includes a flow LCO and Surveillance this Tech Spec could be deleted.
12.
Criteria #2 is satisfied due to the M-3 reactivity addition accident.
13 Per FSAR, loop operation is astned to assure complete riring in R.V.
14.
PORV in Safety Analysis is manually actuated, therefore Channel Calibration Surveillance should be deleted. Also, the PORV used to citigate a tube rupture accident is a plant specific analysis asseption.
15 The spee is used to include S.G. IS1 in the tech specs. If S.G.
operability is covered by another spec (3 4.1.1), for exa=ple, the su veillance should be removed to the ISI program and the LCO deleted.
16.
Criteria #2 is satisfied in ths.t leakage is Controllable by closing isolation valves, reducing pressure, etc.
17 Criteria #2 is satisfied by oparator via feed / bleed, Ph'R reduction, etc.
18.
Per FSAR, the DBA criteria is not met (i.e., COMS not described in Chapters 6 or 15).
~
19 RCS vent not assumed in FSAR.
20.
Ibt required, based on C0KS not included in DBA. Also, restrictions on charging pu:ps based on COMS in other Tech Specs can be deleted.
-21.
LCO meets criteria 3, but the Surveillance references other LCO's and appears to be redaadant.
22.
LCO fails criteria #2 because leakage is not controllable by the operator.
23 Only Part a. of LCO satisfies criteria #3 Part b. - covering leakage fails criteria and should be deleted.
24.
Criteria #3 satisfied but the LCO only refers to surveillances. The Surveillances should be removed frcen the spec and a surveillance program referenced.
25 This LCO should be cambined with TS 3.6.1.1 and the valve list recnoved to another controlled doctraent.
26.
Wolf Creek PSAR asstnes ESW as source of Aux Feedwater.
27 A plant specific TS. Plant specific analysis may be able to show the UHS te=perature or level requirements are not necessary.
28.
The LCO satisfies criteria #3 for a DBA but the Chapter 15 Asseptions required by the SEP are excessively conservative. An analysis using consistent asseptions from other DBA calculations may show that the LCO is not needed for DBA citigation.
29 The surveillance requirements for these tech specs should be removed to another controlled docuenent.
30.
120 satisfies criteria f3 but surveillance should be re:noved to ISI prograu.
31.
LCO is Eq. Qual. Basis Only, not DBA, therefore no Tech Spec criteria tre satisfied.
32.
Surveillance should be reoved frota Tech Specs.
33 Cmponent operation not assaned by any DBA Asseptions, therefore LCO and Surveillance can be re:noved frm Tech Specs.
34.
No DBA Ass mption involved in LCO.
35 No Baron Dilution DBA in M:x$e 6, therefore no Tech Spee criteria apply.
36.
DBA Assmption in LCO.
37 Special Test Dcceptions LCO should be retained unless the LCO in the exception has been deleted.
38.
Criteria #3 only applies to L'ST portion of LCO and then only ten in mode 5 39 4 LCo's contained in Subsections of 3 7.10, all LCO's fail the criteria test.
