APPLICABILITY:

ALL MODES ACTION:

a.

With the structural integrity of any ASME Code Class 1 com,.

ponent(s) not conforming to the above requirements, restore the structural integrity of the affected component (s) to within its limit or isolate the affected component (s) prior to increasing the Reactor Coolant System temperature more than 50*F above the minimum temperature required by NDT considerations, or comply with ACTION item d below.

b.

With the structural integrity of any ASME Code Class 2 com-ponent(s) not conforming to the above requirements, restore the structural integrity of the affected component (s) to within its limit.or isolate the affected component (s) prior to increasing the Reactor Coolant System temperature above 200'F, or comply with ACTION item d below.

c.

With the structural integrity of any ASME Code Class 3 com-ponent(s) not conforming to the above requirements, restore the structural integrity of the affected component (s) to within its limit or isolate the affected component (s) from service, or comply with ACTION item d below.

d.

If the requirements of the above ACTION items are not met, in lieu of the requirements of Specification 3.0.3, an evaluation can be performed to determine the consequences of continuing to operate with reduced structural integrity or with a temporary repair made to the affected component (s),

or be in COLD SHUTDOWN within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />, e.

The provisions of Specification 3.0.4 are not applicable.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.4.10.1 ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components shall be inspected in accordance wit!. the requirements of Specification 4.0.5.

In addition, eacn reactor coolant pump flywneel shall be inspected per the recommenca-tions of Regulatory Position C.4.b of Regulatory Guide 1.14, Revisicn 1, August 1975.

il TROJ AN-UNIT 1 3/4 4-29 Amendment No. 61

APPLICABILITY BASES 4.0.5 This specificatinn ensures that inservice inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2 aad 3 components and inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 pumps and valves will be performed in accordance with a periodically updated version of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a.

Relief from any of the above requirements has been provided in writing by the Commission and is not a part of these Tecnnical Specifications.

This specification includes a clarification of the frequencies for performing tha inservice inspection and testing activities required by Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. This clarification is provided to ensure consistency in sur-veillance intervals throughout these Technical Specifications and to remove any ambiguities relative to the frequencies for performing th'e required inservice inspection and testing activities.

Under the terms of this specification, the more restrictive require-ments of the Technical Specifications take precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Yessel Code and applicable Addenda.

For example, the requirements of Specification 4.0.4 to perform surveillance activities prior to entry into an CPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicabil.ity condition 'akes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision-which allows pumps to be tested up to one week after return to normal operation. And for example. the Technical Specification defini-tion of OPERABLE does not grant a grace period before a device that is not capable of performing its specified function is declared inoperable and takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows a valve to be incapable of performing its speci-fied function for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> before being declared inoperable.

r REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3/4.4.5 STEAM GENERATORS CONTINUED system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-seconoary leakage =

500 gallons per day per steam generator).

Cracks having a primary-to-secondary leakage less than this limit curing operation will have an adequate margin of safety to withstand the loacs imposed during ncrmal operation and by postulated accidents.

Operating plants have cemonstrated l

that primary-to-secondary leakage of 500 gallons per day per steam generator can readily be detected by radiation monitors of steam generator blowdown. Leakage in excess of this limit will require plant shutcown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be located and plugged.

Wastage-type defects are unlikely with the all volatile treatment ( AVT) of secondary coolant. However, even if a defect of similar type shculd develop in service, it will be found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations.

Plugging will be required of all tubes with imperfections exceeding the plugging limit which, by the definition i

of Specification 4.4.5.4.a is 40*. of the tube ncminal wall thickness.

Steam generator tube inspections of cperating plants have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that has penetrated 20*. of the l

original tube wall thickness.

l l

Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inservice inspection fall into Category C-3, these results will be promptly reported to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.1 prior to resumption of plant operation.

Such cases will be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tests, additional Wy-current inspection, and revision l

of the Technical Specifications, f necessary.

3/4.4.6 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE l

3/4.4.6.1 LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEMS The RCS leakage detection systems required by this specification are provided to monitor and detect leakage from the Raactor Coolant Pressure Soundary.

These detection systems are consistent with the recommencations of Regulatory Guide 1.45, " Reactor Ccolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection Systems," May 1973.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES The actual shift in NDTT of the vessel material will be established periodically during operation by removing and evaluating, in accordance with ASTM E185-73, reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens installed near the inside wall of the reactor vessel in the core area.

Since the neutron spectra at the irraciation samples and vessel inside radius are essentially identical, the measured transition shift for a sample can be applied with confidence to the adjacent section of tne reactor vessel. The heatup and cooldown cur /es must be recalculatec when the ARTNOT determined from the surveillance capsule is different from the calculated aRTNOT for the equivalent capsule radiation exposure.

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

The number of reactor vessel irradiation surveillance specimens ano the frequencies for removing and testing these. specimens are provided in Table 4.4-3 to assure compliance with the requirements of Appendix H to 1

10 CFR Part 50.

The limitaticns imposed on pressurizer.heatup and cooldown and spray water temperature differential are provided to assure that the

. pressurizer is operated within the cesign criteria assumed for the

~

fatigue analysis performed in accordance with the ASME Code requirements.

3/4.4.10 STT,UCTURAL INTEGRITY The inservice inspection and testing programs for ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 componc.1ts ensure that the structural integrity and operational readiness of these components will be maintained at. an acceptable level r

l throughout the life of the plant.

These programs are in accordance with e

l Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable l

Addenda as required by 10 CFR Part 50.55a(g) except where specific written relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50.55a(g)(6)(i).

l Components of the reactor coolant system were designed to provice access to permit inservice inspections in accordance with Section XI of l
