INSTRUMENTATION SURVElltANCE RE0VIREMENTS Basis FOR CHANGE RE0VESI PROPOSED CHANGE ONE:

This proposed change revises the Emergency core and isolation actuation instrumentation channel functional CoolingSystem(ECCS)from test interval monthly to quarterly. The affected Technical Specifications (TS) instrumentation for Units 1 and 2 is listed in Tables 1 and 2 of this enclosure. For instrumentation whose calibration is already quarterly, the channel functional test was changed to 'N/A', since the channel calibration encompasses the channel functional test. -

This_ proposed change also provides a 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months allowable outage time (A0T) for surveillance testing with one or more channels of one subsystem removed from service. Tlia proposed 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months A0T for surveillance has been included (either added in a new footnote or revised in an existing footnote) in the ,

following tables and specifications:

Unit 1 - Tables 3'.2 1 through 3.2 6 and Table 3.2 9.

Unit 2 - Tables 3.3.2 1, 3.3.3 1, and 3.3.4 1.

In both units, the added or revised notes read as follows:

A channel may be removed from service for up to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months for required surveillance testing and not be considered ino)erable provided sufficient channels are available to ensure tie trip .

function. I The above note allows the- TS Actions to be suspended or waived for a specified period of time. Since entering the Actions is not necessary, cascading the TS required actions also will not be required. For example, if the Core Spray (CS) system is in a 7 day limited condition for operation (t.00) (Unit 2 TS3.5.3.1) and a channel functional test is due on an instrument in the residual heat removal (RHR)- system (Unit 2 Table 3.3.3 1), application of this note will permit GPC to continue in the 7 day LCO- for CS and not declare the instrument or the associated RHR loop inoperable. -Therefore, GPC would not be required to enter Unit 2 TS 3.0.3,

.which requires reactor shutdown during the period of time in which the-instrument surveillance is being performed.

REQUEST TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

INSTRUMENTATION SURVEILLANCE RE0VIREMENTS BASIS FOR CHANGE.RE0 VEST Certain channel trip functions are designed such that the removal of one trip function from service renders the required system trip function inoperable, based on design considerations, specific notes have been tailored for these conditions as follows:

1. For Reactor Vessel Water level 8 Trip: Unit 1 Tables 3.2 2 and 3,2 3, and Unit -2 Table 3.3.3 1, and for High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) and Reactor Core Isolution Cooling (RCIC) Pump Discharge Flow -

Low and High: Unit 1 Tables 3.2+2 and 3.2 3:

While performing surveillance during times when this equipment is required to be OPERAB'.E. the : Action Statement should be entered since sufficient channels will not be available to ensure the trip function.

2. -For Scram Discharge Volume Control Rod Block: L Unit 1 Table 3.2 7-and Unit 2 Table.3.3.5 1:

A [The) channel may-be removed from service for up to 5

Next. Unit 1 TS. Tables 3.2 1, 3.2-2, 3.2-3, 3.2 4, 3.2-5, and 3.2 6 and' Unit 2 Specifications 3.3 2, 3.3 3, and 3.3 4 have been revised to provide-a 12-hour.A0T for instrument repair, provided the instrument trip function in 'the remaining channel / trip system is still available. In Unit 1 Table 3.2 1 -and Unit 2 TS 3.3.2, the Action Statement regarding inoperable channels on one trip system has been revised to read as follows:

INSTRUMENTATION SURVEILLANCE RE0VIREMENTS BASIS FOR CHANGE RE0 VEST In addition, in Unit 1 Table 3.2 1, an A0T for restoring an inoperable ,

single channel in lieu of tripping that channel has been established at 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months when tripping the channel would cause the trip function to occur. ,

Unit 1 TS Bases Section 3.2 and Unit.2 T5 Bases Section 3/4.3 have been revised appropriately to reflect the above changes.

Finally, in accordance with General Electric (GE) Topical Report NEDC 31677P A (Reference 1), this proposed change revises the daily channel checks for the isolation actuation instrumentation for both units to "once per shift" in order to establish consistency with the GE BWR 4 Standard Technical Specifications (STS), as well as with all channel checks.

Basis for Proposed Chance One:

This proposed change results from GE Topical Reports NEDC 30936P A (Reference 2) and NEDC 31677P A (Reference 1). The subject reports provide a probabilistic basis for extending ECCS and isolation actuatior instrumentation surveillance intervals. The generic analyses provided in these repor,, indicate the pro)osed interval extension (frommonthlyto quarterly) can be enacted wit 1out- negatively affecting the-functional capability or reliability of the systems. An NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) generically endorsing the methodology and changes provided-in the referenced reports is provided at the beginning of each report. Note that the NRC has already approved similar changes for RPS and rod block instrumentation in Unit 1 TS Amendment 163.and Unit 2 TS Amendment 100.

GPC and GE have reviewed the generic analyses and determined they are applicable to Plant Hatch Units 1 and 2. GPC has also reviewed the setpoint calculations associated with the affected instruments and determined- the existing calculations will not be affected by changing the channel functional test interval from monthly to quarterly, in the case of the Reactor Building and refueling floor radiation isolation actuation instrumentation (Unit 1 Table 4.2 1 and Unit 2 Table 4.3.2 1), I the setpoints are-field determined. GPC has reviewed the operating history of these instruments and Jetermined the instrument drift is small enough to justify a quarterly. channel functional test frequency.

REQUEST TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

INSTRUMENTATION SURVEILLANCE RE0VIREMENTS Basis FOR CHANGE RE0 VEST Also, the safety relief valve (SRV) tailpipe pressure switches have setpoints that were developed as part of the environmental qualification program; these setpoints are not field adjustable. Since the switches are located in containment, the only tests conducted during operation involve circuit integrity. Therefore, the setpoints are not a consideration in changing the channel functional test frequency from monthly to quarterly.

As noted in Tables 1 and 2 of this enclosure, many of the subject instruments whose channel functional checks are proposed to be changed from '

monthly to quarterly are in the Analog Transmitter Trip System (ATTS . As documented in GPC's letters to the NRC dated July 24, 1985 andJanuar)y23, 1984, ATTS setpoints are calculated using the methodology of Regulatory Guide 1.105 and are designed for a quarterly channel functional test interval. Also, the setpoint calculations for ATTS generally assume a channel functional test interval of 6 months. Since the initial installation of ATTS in 1984, the trip units, which have an assumed 6 month channel functional test frequency in the setpoint calculations, have shown very little drift and few failures. Before approving similar changes for the Reactor Protection System (RPS) instrumentation tables, the NRC staff reviewed actual ATTS surveillance test data from Plant Hatch. -

The referenced GE Topical Reports also provide the basis for including in

'the Plant Hatch TS a 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months A0T for surveillance testing and a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months A0T for repair. For clarity, GPC has made some editorial revisions to the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months A0T note )rovided in the GE Topical Reports; the intent of the note has not been c1anged. GPC has revised the isolation actuation Action Statement for operation with a channel inoperable to achieve consistency with the Action Statement revisions provided in NEDC 31677P A. GPC has also elected -to use more conservative A0Ts for repair (forECCS and isolation actuation instrumentation) than were justified in the GE Topical Reports the A0T proposed for (References 1and 2).

the Units 1 and 2 TS is 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months .With one trip system With inoperable, both trip systems-inoperable, the A0T will remain I hour. This allows for consistency with the RPS instrumentation Action Statements approved for Plant Hatch. '

-The 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months " waiver":of TS Actions has been applied to most instruments that perform a trip function.: However, some tri) functions are designed such that the removal-- of one trip function /ciannel could render the trip function inoperable.

INSTRUMENTATION SURVElllANCE RLQUIREMENTS BASIS FOR CHANGE RE00EST reactor vessel water level 8, the control rod block scram discharge volume, and the Unit 1 HPCI and RCIC pump discharge flow high and low trip functions. For HPCI and RCIC, the reactor vessel water level 8 trip .

function shown in the ECCS tables is a two out of two trip logic. When one instrument is removed from service for required surveillances, the required trip function may not be available. Therefore, a proposed note has been '

added requiring the Action statement (LCO) be entered during surveillance testing of this instrumentation.

The HPCI and RCIC pump discharge flow high and low trip functions control the opening and closing of the associated system's minimum flow valve. For each system, only one instrument controls this function. During periods of required surveillance, this function may be degraded. Therefore, GPC has elected to also enter the LCO Action Statement for these instruments.

The control rod block scram discharge volume trip function has only a single channel and one trip system. T1e function is to prevent control rod withdrawal with high scram discharge volume level. Therefore, a note has been added, allowing required surveillances to be performed without entering an LCO, provided no control rods are withdrawn during-this activity.

The proposed addition of the note to Unit 1 Table 3.2-1 establishes a 2 hour2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months A0T for restoring an inoperable single channel in lieu of. tripping -

that channel (when tri> ping the channel would cause the trio function to ~

occur). Also, daily c1annel checks were changed to "once per shift" to establish consistency with the GE -Topical Reports. These changes are consistent with the current Unit 2 TS and the existing GE BWR-4 STS.

As a point of note, the Unit I surveillance tables use the term " instrument functional test." Although GPC is not proposing a title change in every Unit I table at this time, the current philosophy used in the Unit 2 15 and the existing GE BWR 4 STS relative to the channel functinnal test will be applied to surveillance-frequencies in the Unit 1 TS tables.

Approval of the proposed changes will result in consistent and accurate ECCS and isolation actuation instrumentation surveillance requirements for both Hatch units.

INSTRUMENTATION SURVEILLANCE RE0VIREMENTS BASIS FOR CHANGE RE0 VEST PROPOSED CHANGE TWO:

This proposed change moves the instrumentation, which initiates isolation of HPCI, RCIC, and the Low Pressure Coolant injection (LPCI) mode of RHR, from Plant Hatch Unit 1 LCO TS Tables 3.2 2, 3.2 3, and 3.2 5 (and their corresponding survelliance tables) to Unit 1 LC0 Table 3.2 1 and surveillance table 4.2 1. This permits the application of consistent Action Statements to the isolation actuation instrumentation. This change is consistent with the GE BWR 4 STS and the Plant Hatch Unit 2 15. The specific instruments being moved are listed in Table 3 of this enclosure.

Also, for clarity, Unit 1 T M es 3.2 1 and 4.2 1 have been renamed to indicate the isolation actuation function, and the Table of Contents has been revised and reorganized to reflect these changes.

Basis for Pronosed Chance Two:

The equipment identified above is more appropriately termed isolation actuation instrumentation and is stated as such in both the GE BWR 4 STS and the Plant Hatch Unit 2 TS. Based on the results of the reliability studies presented in GE Topical Reports NEDC 30936P A (Reference 2) and NEDC 31677P A (Reference 1), and the differences in instroment functions, the Action Statements for the ECCS and the isolation actuation instrumentation are different. By separating these instruments into the appropriate sections, the Action Statements can be more appropriately applied in the Unit 1 TS.

The only Action Statement in the Unit 1 TS undergoing significant revision as a result of this change is the Action relating to the reactor steam dome pressure instrument providing both a low pressure signal to allow operation of the shutdown cooling mode and a low pressure permissive, in conjunction with a containment isolation signal, to close the RHR injection valves, in current Unit 1 Tables 3.2-1 and 3.2 5, Actions are provided in the event the reactor steam dome pressure instrument is inoperable. Table 3.2 1 requires the shutdown cooling mode be isolated, and Table 3.2-5 requires the LPCI system be declared inoperable if the instrument is inoperable. In relocating the reactor steam dome pressure instrument to only an isolation actuation table (as in the Plant Hatch Unit 2 TS and the GE BWR-4 STS), GPC proposes the following Unit 2 Action Statement be adopted:

Close the shutdown cooling supply isolation valves unless reactor steam dome pressure s 145 psig.

The Plant Hatch TS provide channel functional test and channel calibration frequencies. When performing the surveillances, the TS require the j instruments to be 'out of service

for a period of time. In order to L

assure the instrumentation is not removed from service for an excessive amount of time for surveillance, an A0T of 2, 4 or 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months has been established after discussions with Plant Hatch site personnel concerning the amount of time necessary to perform the surveillance.

The surveillances were developed to ensure the availability of instrumentation to perform its design function. Therefore, providing L reasonable A0Ts in which to perform the surveillances supports instrumentation in the performance of its design function. This proposed TS change also provides conditions of operation necessary to preserve the ability of the system to perform its intended trip function, even during periods when instrument channels may be out of service, it should be noted that monitoring instrumentation does not provide input to any trip function necessary in the initial stages of an accident or transient. Therefore, it is not necessary to assure the monitoring function is preserved during the brief time intervals of required surveillances. Since many of these monitoring instruments only have a single channel, the portion of the note requiring that sufficient channels be available to support the trip function has been deleted, in addition, GPC's nuclear steam sup)1y system (NSSS) vendor, GE, has reviewed the addition of the note for tie instruments not included in the ECCS and isolation actuation instrumentation systems and determined these systems are not part of the primary success path of the design basis analysis / transient analysis. Therefore, the bases for the A0T for these systems can be established based on the lower safety significance of these systems.

INS 1RUMENTA110N SURVElllANCE RE0VIREMENTS k BASIS FOR CHANGE RE0 VEST PROPOSED CHANGE FOUR:

This proposed change makes minor changes to the reactor protection system (RPS) and the control rod block instrumentation surveillances to further incorporate improvements presented in GE Topical Report NEDC 30851P A (Reference 3) and Supplement 1 (Reference 4). NEDC 30851P was previously approved by the NRC for Plant Hatch specific applications in Amendment 170 for Unit I and Amendment 100 for Unit 2. Specifically, for the Unit 1 15, notes are proposed to be revised or added to Tables 3.1 1 and 3.2 7 to allow a channel to be made inoperable for surveillance purposes without placing the channel in the tripped condition for 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months , in the Unit 2 TS, tie 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months note has been included in Table 3.3.5 1 and Specification 4.1.4.3. In addition, in Ur.it-1 Table 4.2 7 and Unit 2 Table 4.3.51, the channel functional test requirement for the average power range monitor (APRM) - downscale instrument was changed from monthly to quarterly. Also, the Unit 1 Bases for Specification 4.1 was revised to reflect the current information used to establish the surveillances.

Basis for Pr.ggesed Chance Four:

The proposed change to incorporate the surveillance interval and A0T extensions into the TS is provided in the previously discussed GE Topical Reports (References 3 and 4), which have been generically endorsed by-specific NRC SERs. The GE reports provide a probabilistic basis for extending RPS surveillance and, in the case of Plant Hatch Unit 1, equipment A01. The methodology shows the requested interval extensions can be enacted 'without negatively affecting the. functional capability or reliability of.the RPS. GPC i;as previously submitted documentation to the NRC to demonstrate Plant Hatch is enveloped by these generic reports, as stated in GPC's submittal to the NRC dated March 27, 1986. These changes were inadvertently omitted from the March 27 submittal.

Setpoint calculations for the APRM instruments do not use the functional test frequency in its analyses. Only drift associated with a calibration interval is employed, i Approval of Proposed Change Four will result in consistent and correct RPS and control rod block instrumentation surveillance requirements- for both l Hatch units.

INSTRUMENTATION SURVEILLANCE REOUIREMENTS S. ASIS FOR CHANGE RE00EST B.uls for Proposed Chance Five:

The base > for the proposed changes described above are as follows:

1. The remaining two reactor vessel steam dome pressure - low instruments are being uniquely identified for clarity (as proposed instrument numbers 3 and 4 in the tables).

2.. Since notes d and e are archaic with respect to the TS, they have been deleted from the proposed amendment. The test frequency will

= remain once per month, unless otherwise identified in this proposed i amendment.

3. - Since the functional testing requirements for the subject relays of the logic systems are already fully required by Unit 1 Tables 4.212 and '4.2 13, the specification should not have to be ' restated.

Therefore, it has been deleted from the proposed amendment.

4. The term " CHANNEL FUNCTION TEST" is not defined in the Unit 2 TS; therefore, this is purely an editorial error.

5. Inputting the word "were" was a typographical error and, therefore.

changing it to 'where" is purely an editorial revision.

6. Inputting the word "corditions" was a typographical error in that one inoperable channel in one trip system is logically placed in a singic i

. tripped condition. Deleting the "$" from " conditions" is purely an sditorial change.

7. There is a single Minimum OPERABLE Channel per trip function for this particular instrument. The number "1" was inadvertently omitted and, therefore, adding the number is purely an editorial revision.

8. There is a single Minimum Instrument OPERABLE for instrument 3.b.

This number- was inadvertently omitted from the table; therefore adding the number "l" is purely an editorial change.

9. Inputting the word "shround" was a typographical error and, therefore, changing it to " shroud" is purely an editorial change.

10. The actual logic design arrangement is a two out-of two. This is a

~ typographical error in that the actual plant logic has not changed.

4 Georgia Power Company has reviewed the proposed change and determined it does not-involve a significant hazards consideration based on the following:

1. The change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident, since the change is consistent with the GE BWR 4 STS and the Plant Hatch Unit 2 TS No physical change to the facility or its operating parameters is being made. This change will clarify the identification of the isniation actuation instrumentation.

2.- The proposed change does-not create the possibility of a different kind of accident from any analyzed previously, since moving the instrumentation which initiates-isolation of the ECCS systems does not degrade the design, operation, or maintenance of the plant and a new mode of failure is not created.

3. Margins of safety are not significantly reduced by the proposed change, since moving tho'affected instrumentation to Unit 1 Table 3.21 will result in a more ap)ropriate applicaticn of the Action Statements.

INSTRUMENTATION SVRVEILLANCE RE0VIREMENTS 10 CFR 50.92 EVALVATIOS PROPOSED CHANGE THREE: j This proposed change adds the following note to certain instrumentation tables and specifications in both units of the Plant Hatch TS:

A channel may be removed from service for up to hours for I required surveillance testing and not be considered () inoperable, i provided sufficient channels are available to ensure the required function.

As discussed in Enclosure 1, the amount of time provided in the note depends on the normal amount of time required to perform the associated maintenance. The proposed revised tables and specifications are listed in Enclosure 1.

Basis for proposed Chance Threr:

Georgia Power Company has reviewed the proposed change and determined it does not involve a significant hazards consideration based on the following:

1. The )roposed change does not involve a significant increase in the proba)ility or consequences of an accident, because the proposed surveillances are already-necessary to comply with TS, and adoption of this change merely provides for a reasonable A0T for the surveillance to be performed. Removal of this instrumentation from service for surveillance has been shown to have no effect on the probability of an accident and an insignificant effect on the consequenec; of an accident. For these reasons, the response of the plant to previously evaluated accidents will remain unchanged.

2. The proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated, since no change is being made to degrade the design, operation, or maintenance of the plant. No new modes of failure are created.

3. Margins of safety are not significantly reduced, since the proposed change maintains reasonable A0Ts for the instrumentation to perform design functions. In addition, the proposed change provides for conditions of operation which will preserve'the ability of the system to perform its intended function even during periods when instrument channels may be out of service for maintenance. Therefore, the proposed change does not reduce any margin of safety.

INSTRUMENTATION SURVElllANCE RE0VIREMENTS 10 CFR 50.92 EVALVATION PROPOSED CHANGE FOUR:

As discussed in Enclosure 1, minor changes to the RPS and the control rod block instrumentation surveillances have been proposed in order to further incorporate the improvements presented in GE Tcpical Report NEDC-30851P-A i and Supplement I to NEDC 30851P A.

Sn it for Proposed Chance Four:

Georgia Power Company has reviewed the-proposed change-and determined it aucs not involve a significant hazards consideration based on the following:

1. The proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences ~ of an accident, since the change is bounded by -the NRC SER for methodology of NEDC-30851P A and its Supplement 1.

In addition, due to less frequent testing of the RPS, there are fewer g challenges to the safeguards system. This conservatively results in a- 4 decrease in core damage frequency. Also, since the cumulative effect of instrumentation tests does result in'some radiation exposure, an increase in the required surveillance intervals would represent a savings.in potential exposure.

2. The possibility of a different kind of accident from any analyzed-previously is not created, since the RPS and the control rod block functions and reliabilities are not degraded by this change. Also, no new-modes of plant operation-are involved.

3. Margins of safety are not significantly reduced, since the change has been evaluated and found acceptable by the NRC, and is bounded by the generic SER.
