3/4.10 SPECIAL TEST EXCEPTIONS BASES 3/4.10.1 SHUTOOWN MARGIN This special. test exception provides that a minimum amount of control rod worth is immediately available for reactivity control when tests are performed for control rod worth measurement. This special test exception is required to permit the periodic verification of the actual versus predicted core reactivity condition occurring as a result of_ fuel burnup or fuel cycling operations, 3/4.10.2 GROUP HEIGHT, INSERTION, AND POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS This special test exception permits individual control rods to be posi-tioned outside of their normal group heights and insertion limits during the performance of such PHYSICS TESTS as those required to: (1) measure control rod worth and-(2) determine the reactor stability index and damping factor under xenon oscillation conditions.

3/4.10.3 PHYSICS TESTS This special test exception permits PHYSICS TESTS to be performed at leis

'than or equal to 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER with the RCS T,yg slightly lower than nermally allowed 50 that the fundamental nuclear characteristics of the core and related instrumentation can be verified. In order for various charac-

, teristics to be accurately measured, it is at times necessary to operate outside the normal restrictions of these Technical Specifications. For instance, to measure the moderator temperature coefficient at BOL, it is necessary to position the various control rods at heights which may not normally be allowed by Specification 3.1.3.6 and the RCS T,yg may be below the minimum temperature of Specification 3.1.1.4 during the measurement.

3/4.10.4 REACTOR COOLANT LOOPS This special test exception permits reactor criticality under no flow conditions and is required to perform certain STARTUP and PHYSICS TESTS while at low THERMAL POWER levels.

3/4.10.5 POSITION INDICATION SYSTEM - SHUT 00WN This special test exception permits the Position Indication Systems to be inoperable during rod drop time measurements. The exception is required since the data necessary to determine the rod drop time are derived from the induced voltage in the position indicator coils as the rod is dropped. This induced voltage is small compared to the normal voltage and, therefore, cannot be observed if the Position Indication Systems remain OPERABLE.

3/4.10.6 REACTOR COOLANT LOOPS This special test exception permits all reactor coolant pumps to be de-energized for the performance of startup tests involving natural circulation conditions while the reactor is suberitical.

The limitations of 70'F and 200 psig are based on a steam generator RT prevent brittle fracture NDT f 60'F and are sufficient to 3/4.7.3 PRIMARY COMPONENT COOLING WATER SYSTEM

' The OPERABILITY of the Primary Component Cooling Water System ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of safety-related equipment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.

3/4.7.4 SERVICE WATER SYSTEM

~ The Service Water System consists of two independent loops, each of which can operate with either a service water pump train or a cooling tower pump train. The OPERABILITY of the Service Water System ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of safety-related equip-ment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses, which also assumes loss of either the cooling tower or ocyf cooling.

J 3f b. Q ,'LTIMATE HEAT SINK The limitations on service water pumphouse level, and the OPERABILITY requirements for the mechanical draft cooling tower and the portable tower makeup pump system, ensure that sufficient cooling capacity is available to either: (1) provide normal cooldown of the facility or (2) mitigate the effects of accident conditions within acceptable limits. This cooling capabil-ity is provided by the Atlantic Ocean except during loss of ocean tunnel water flow, when the cooling capability is provided by the mechanical draft cooling tower with tower makeup using portable pumps. j The limitations on minimum water level and the requirements for mechanical i draft cooling tower OPERABILITY are based on providing a 30-day cooling water supply to safety-related equipment without exceeding its design basis tempera-ture and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.27,

" Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Plants," March 1974.

3/4.7.6 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY MAKEUP AIR AND FILTRATION SUBSYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Control Room Emergency Makeup Air and Filtration Subsystem ensures thet: (1) the allowable temperature for continuous-duty rating for the equipment and instrumentation cooled by this system is not exceeded; and (2) the control room will remain habitable for operations SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 7-3 L A

The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction with control room design i provisions is based on limiting the, radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room to 5 rems or less whole body, or its equivalent. This limitation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criterion 19 r

of Appendix A, 10 CFR Part 50. ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing.

Snubbers are classified and grouped by design and manufacturer but not by For example, mechanical snubbers utilizing the same design features of the 2-kip,10-kip and 100-kip capacity manufactured by Company "A" are of the same type. The same design mechanical snubbers manufactured by Company "B" for the purposes of this Technical Specification would be of a different type, as would hydraulic snubbers from either manufacturer.

A list of individual snubbers with detailed information of snubber location and size and of system affected shall be available at the plant in accordance with Section 50.71(c) of 10 CFR Part 50. The accessibility of Jach snubber shall be determined and approved by the Station Operation Review Committee (50RC). The determination shall be based upon the existing radiation levels and the expected time to perform a visual inspection in each snubber location as well as other factors associated with accessibility during plant operations (e.g., temperature, atmosphere, location, etc.), and the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 8.8 and 8.10. The addition or deletion of any hydraulic or mechanical Part 50. snubber shall be made in accordance witn Section 50.59 of 10 CFR Surveillance to demonstrate OPERABILITY is by performance of the require-ments of an approved inservice inspection program.

Permanent or other exemptions from the surveillance program for individual snubbers may be granted by the Commission if a justifiable basis for exemption is presented and, if applicable, snubber life destructive testing was performed to qualify the snubbers for the applicable design conditions at either the com-pletion of their f abrication or at a subsequent date. Snubbers so exempted shall be listed in the list of individual snubbers indicating the extent of the exemptions.

The requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergo a cerformance evaluation.in view of their age and operating conditions. These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service life. ,

and Special Nuclear Material sources will not exceed allowable intake values.

Sealed sources are classified into three groups according to their use, with Surveillance Requirements commensurate with the probability of damage to a source in that group. Those sources which are frequently handled are required to be tested more often than those which are not. Sealed sources which are ,

continuously enclosed within a shielded mechanism (i.e., sealed sources within radiation monitoring or boron measuring devices) are considered to be stored and need not be tested unless they are removed from the shielded mechanism.

3/4.7.9 (This specification number is not used.)

3/4.7.10 AREA TEMPERATURE MONITORING The area temperature limitations ensure that safety-related equipment will not be subjected to temperatures in excess of their environmental qualification temperatures. Exposure to excessive temperatures may degrade equipment and can cause a loss of its OPERABILITY. The temperature limits include an allowance for instrument error of 1 4.5 F.
