.W SAFETY EVALUATIOt4 AME!19?tEf1T ti0. 3 TO flPF-13 GRAtiD GULF I40 CLEAR STATIO!!, UtilT 1 DOCKET 140. 50-416 Introduction The licensee proposed a chance to the operating license and changes to the Technical Specifications for Grand Gulf Unit I which are as follows:

a)

Incorporation of additional one time Technical Specification exceptions for Phase I op3 rations OtP&L letter dated September 13,1982).

b) Changes to the following Technical Specifications (flP&L letter dated September 13,1952):

(1) Table 3.6.4-1, Valve E12-F021B Stroke Tine.

(2) 4.5.1.C.2.a. " Keep Filled" Pressure Alarm Surveillance.

(3) Table 3.3.8-2, Containment Spray Initiation Time.

(4) Table 3.8.4.1-1, flolded Case Circuit Breaker Response Tine.

Evaluation a) One Time Technical Specification Exceptions In the license, the staff granted certain sne time exceptions fron the Technical Specifications prior to execeding 1.0 percent of rated thermal power for the first time. Since then, the licensee has identified other Tecnnical Specifications for which they need an exception for Phase I operation. The bases for tha requested exceptions are consistent with the rationale and justification used in the fornulation of the original license condition. The requested exceptions are related to system', which will be isolated or non-functional during Phase 1 operation or to systens which monitor fission product inventory. At power levels less than 1.0 percent power, there will be a sufficiently low fission product inventory so that these associated systems will not be require <l.

The staff has revieaed the nature of the requested exceptions and the bases for the requests and finds that a one time exception for Phase 1 operatirn is acceptable.

Therefore, the additional exceptions from the Technical Specifications are granted.

-z-b) Technical Specification Changes (1) Table 3.b.4.1, Yalve E12-F0213 Stroke Tine A design change to the containment and drywell isolation valve was made during plant construction to allow for throttling flow in the RHR "C" test line to the suppression pool. The design bases, as detailed in the NSSS supplier's design specification, is that the RHR system is-not required to recover from secondary nodes of operation, such as testing, within the specified LPCI injection tiae, because the interval of tine the RiiR systesa re.nains in these secondary modes is so short that the effect on overall reliability is insignificant. Therefore, the licensee has requested that the valve stroke tine for valve E12-FC213 be chanjed fron 67 seconds to 101 seconds.

We have reviewed the licensee's request and the RHR systeu piping and instru..entation diagrams. Valve E12-F0218 is the isolation valve in the RHR test return line to the suppression pool, and is nor:ully closed.

Its safety function is to close upon receipt of an ECCS initiation signal, (should it be open during a system test) to allow realignnent of the RiR systed for LPCI injection. There is only a very short time period during which the safety function of this valve could be required (i.e. a LOCA occurs during the RHR systen test). Also, only one loop is tested at a tine and hence 2 other LPCI loops as well as the LPCS and HPCS systems would be available for injection. Based upon our review, we find the proposed change to the Technical Specification acceptable.

(2) Table 4.5.1.C.2.a. " Keep Filled" Pressure Alarn S1rveillance The licensee has requested a change in the low pressu e alarn setpoints for the " Keep Filled" systen in the ECCd discharge lines. The pressure alarns are indicative of voids or "not full" discharge lines. Full discharge lines are iuportant in preventing water hamer events. The change in setpoints has been requested to reflect plant specific conditions at Grand Gulf.

ble have reviewed the revised alara setpoints proposed by the licensee, and the elevation differences between the neasurement point and the system high point for the HPLS, LPCS, and LPCI systcas. He conclude that the alara setponts are above the static head difference between the systea high points and the neasurenent point. Based on our review, we find the proposed change to the Technical Specification acceptable.

,o C (3) Table 3.3.8-2, Contairnent Spray Initiation Tine The current Technical Specification for the containnent spray tiners require that the setpoint and allowable value be less than or equal to ten ainutes. Ilowever, in Section 6.2.1.1.5.5 of the Final Safety Analysis Report for Grand Gulf, the containnent sprays are assumed to be initiated no sooner than ten ainutes following a LOCA and no later than thirteen minutes. The licensee has requested that the containment spray initiation time be changed consistent with the Final Safety Analysis Report and our previous safety review, We have reviewed the licensee's justification for this change and find the proposed Technical Specification change acceptable.

(4) Table 3.8.4.1-1, Holded Case Circuit Breaker Response Tine The licensee has requested an increase in the response time to 0.1 seconds for Type !W1 circuit breakers. This change revises the fuse t/ pes used in the Grand Gulf design. For a worst-case condition, a limiting factor is the heating of a #1/0 penetration pigtail in 0.147 seconds to 250 C.

Type lei molded case circuit breakers will respond within the worst-case condition tine limit. Based on uljnEG-0586,

" Equipment Qualification of Safety-Related Electrical Equipment", the thernal capability of this unit with this response time i5 within the allowable limits. Therefore, we find the proposed change to the Technical Specification acceptable.

Environmental Consideration We have determined that this anendment does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amount nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact. Itaving made this determination, we have further concluded that this amendnent involves action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environnental impact, and, pursuant to 10 CFR Section Sl.5(d)(4), that an environmental inpact statement or negative declaration and environnental inpact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of this statenent.

Conclusion, We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:

(1) because the anendaent does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and does not involve a significant decrease in a safety aargin, the amendment does not involve s significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the prooosed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in coupliance with the Conmission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
