Attachment il to JPN-93-003 SAFETY EVALUATION FOR PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGES REMOVAL OF THE 3.5 LIMIT ON EXTENDING SURVEILLANCE INTERVALS (JPTS-89-026) 1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES The proposed changes to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications propose to remove the 3.5 limit on extending surveillance intervals and delete an associated definition of Surveillance Frequency as discussed below.

j Minor changes in format, such as type font, margins or hyphenation, are not described in this submittal. These changes are typographical in nature and do not affect the content of the Technical Specifications.

Paoes 5 and 6. Soecification 1.0.T l

Replace the current definition:

"Sprveillance Frecuency - Periodic surveillance tests, checks, calibrations, and examinations shall be performed within the specified surveillance intervals.

These intervals may be adjusted 125 percent. The interval as pertaining to instrument and electric surveillance shall never exceed one operating cycle. In cases where the elapsed interval has exceeded 100 percent of the specified interval, the next surveillance interval shall commence at the end of the original i

specified interval."

Paae 30e. Bases 4.0.B Replace the current Bases Section:

"The provisions of this specification provide allowable tolerances for performing surveillance activities beyond those specified in the normal surveillance interval.

These tolerances are necessary to provide operational flexibility because of scheduling and performance considerations."

with the following Bases Section:

" Specification 4.0.B estab!ishes the limit for which the specified tirne interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended. It permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the surveillance (e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing i

surveillance or maintenance activities). It also provides flexibility to accommodate the length of a fuel cycle for surveillances that are performed at each refueling outage and are specified with an 18 month surveillance interval.

i It is not intended that this provision be used repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervals beyond that specified for surveillances that are not j

performed during refueling outages. The limitation of this specification is based on engineering judgement and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. The limit on extension of the normal surveillance interval ensures that the reliability confirmed by surveillance activities is not significantly reduced below that obtained from the specified surveillance interval."

Delete the phrase "C. Continued" from the top of the right column.

PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES The purpose of the proposed changes to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications is to remove the Specification 4.0.8 limit of 3.5 (this is different from -

the Standard Technical Specifications lirnit of 3.25) on extending surveillance intervals as well as remove the associated definition o~ " Surveillance Frequency" in l

Specification 1.0.T. The proposed changes conform to NRC Generic Letter 89-14 (Reference 1) guidance because the changes to Specification 4.0.B and the associated Bases Section are almost identical to those proposed in the Generic Letter.

i The only differences are minor changes to the Bases Section made to correct the specification reference, a clarification of the last sentence in the Bases and the i

i l

, 1 to JPN-93-003 SAFETY EVALUATION Page 3 of 6 s

I proposed deletion from Specification 1.0.T of the associated definition made for consistency.

Specification 4.0.8 permits surveillance intervals be extended up to 25 percent of the specified interval. This extension facilitates the scheduling of surveillance activities and allows surveillances to be postponed when plant conditions are not suitable for conducting a surveillance, for example, under transient conditions or other ongoing i

surveillance or maintenance activities. Specification 4.0.8 also limits extending 1

surveillances so that the combined time interval for any three consecutive surveillance intervals shall not exceed 3.5 times the specified surveillance interval.

{

Specification 1.0.T defines " Surveillance Frequency" as periodic surveillance tests, checks, calibrations and examinations within specified intervals and repeats the Specification 4.0.B allowance for 25 percent adjustments in surveillance intervals. It also limits surveillance intervals by requiring surveillances to be scheduled from the last scheduled surveillance rather than the adjusted date that the surveillance is performed.

I Ill.

SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications will result in a net improvement to plant safety for surveillances performed on refueling and on a routine basis. The changes will not require modification of any plant structures, systems or components and will not alter the conclusion's of the plant's accident analyses as documented in the FSAR or the NRC staff's SER.

l The Authority has reviewed Generic Letter 89-14 and concurs with the NRC staff that elimination of the 3.5 limit on surveillance interval extension will have an overall i

positive effect on safety. The Generic Letter removed a 3.25 limit on extending consecutive surveillance intervals. The limit in the FitzPatrick Technical Specification 4.0.B is 3.5.

Experience has shown that an 18-month surveillance interval, with the provision to extend it by 25 percent,is usually sufficient to accommodate normal variations in the length of a fuel cycle. However, the NRC staff has routine;r granted requests for one-time exceptions to the limit on extending refueling surveillances because the risk l

to safety is low in contrast to the alternative of a forced shutdown to perform these

{'

surveillances. Therefore, the limitation on extending surveillances has not been a practicallimit on the use of the 25 percent allowance for extending surveillances that are performed on a refueling outage basis.

l l

The use of the allowance to extend surveillance intervals by 25 percent can also l

result in a significant safety benefit for surveillances that are performed on a routine basis during plant operation. This safety benefit is incurred when a surveillance interval is extended at a time that conditions are not suitable for performing the i

i h

. 1 to JPN-93-003 SAFETY EVALUATION Page 4 of 6 surveillance. Examples of this include transient plant operating conditions or conditions in which safety systems are out of service because of ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities. In such cases, the safety benefit of allowing the use of the 25 percent allowance to extend a surveillance interval would outweigh any benefit derived by limiting three consecutive surveillance intervals to the 3.5 limit.

i Specification 1.0.T is a definition of " Surveillance Frequency" that is generally repetitive of other specifications and that must be changed for consistency with the changes made to Specification 4.0.B. Standard Technical Specifications (Reference

2) have no definition like Specification 1.0.T and it is therefore being deleted as unnecessary. The safety significance of the deletion is evaluated by looking at the four sentences of the Specification:

1.

The first sentence states that surveillances will be performed within specified intervals. It is unnecessary since it is redundant to individual surveillance specifications.

2.

The second sentence identifies the 25 percent adjustment allowed by Specification 4.0.B. It is unnecessary since it is redundant.

3.

The third sentence limits instrument and electric surveillance intervals to one operating cycle. It is unnecessary since it is redundant to individual surveillance specifications. Additionally, it could be confusing if interpreted as a limit of 18 months (i.e., an operating cycle) on the 25 percent adjustment of Specification 4.0.B. It should not be interpreted in this manner.

4.

The last sentence limits surveillance intervals by requiring surveillances to be scheduled from the last scheduled surveillance rather than the adjusted date that the surveillance is performed. For example, if an 18 month surveillance was performed after 22 months, the next surveillance would be scheduled for 14 months later. The effect is to replace the 3.5 limit of Specification 4.0.B with the 3.25 limit (i.e., the duration of the last adjustment) of the Standard Technical Specifications. This limit is being removed for consistency with the Technical Specification change to Specification 4.0.B. Plant procedures (Reference 3) will retain this limitation under the control of plant maimgement.

On the basis of the above considerations, the removal of the 3.5 limit in i

Specification 4.0.B and the associated deletion of Specification 1.0.T will have an overall positive impact on safety.

i IV. EVAL.UATION OF SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Operation of the FitzPatrick plant in accordance with the proposed Amendment would not involve a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92, since it

.. 1 to JPN-93-003 SAFETY EVALUATION Page 5 of 6 would not:

1.

involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed changes will not require modification to any plant structures, systems or components. Surveillance test effectiveness and operability as determined by testing will remain the same. The proposed changes will not alter testing. The small change in reliability will not be of a nature to initiate an accident and will not effect the consequences of an accident sinc 7 mitigating systems are still available.

2.

create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

The proposed changes will not require modification to any plant structures, systems or components. The changes remove the limitation for extending surveillance intervals, remove the associated definition and revise Bases accordingly. The nature of the changes preclude the possibility of a new or different kind of accident.

3.

involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety, i

The proposed changes to remove the limit on surveillance interval extensions and associated definition will not cause a significant reduction in the margin of safety. Removal of the limit results in a smallincrease to allowable surveillance intervals. This would not result in a significant degradation in the reliability of systems and components under surveillance. Adherence to the limit could require forced shutdown to perform surveillance or the performance of surveillance when conditions are not suitable. It could also require routine surveillances when conditions are not suitable. The safety benefits of removing the limit are more significant than the small increase in the surveillance interval for consecutive extensions.

V.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES Implementation of the proposed changes will not adversely affect the ALARA or Fire Protection Programs at the FitzPatrick plant, nor will the changes affect the environment. Removal of the limit on surveillance interval extensions will have no affect on these programs or the environment.

I 1 to JPN-93 003 SAFETY EVALUATION Page 6 of 6 VI.

CONCLUSION The changes, as proposed, do not constitute an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59. That is, they.

1.

will not change the probability nor the consequences of an accin or malfunction of equipment important to safety as previously evaluated in the Safety Analysis Report; 2.

will not increase the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a type different from any previously evaluated in the Safety Analysis Report; and i

I 3.

will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification.

I The changes involve no significant hazards consideration, as defined in 10 CFR 50.92.

Specification 4.0.B establishes the limit for which the specified time interval for Surveillance

(

3 Reouirements may be extended. It permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval tc tacilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operating conditions that may not be l

1 suitable for conducting the surveillance (e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities). It also provides flexibility to accommodate the length of a fuel cycle for i

l surveillances that are performed at each refueling outage and are specified with an 18 month surveillance interal. It is not intended that this provision be used repeatedly as a convenience to j

extend surveillance intervals beyond that specified for surveillances that are not performed during refueling outages. The limitation of this specification is based on engineering judgement and the i

j recognition that the most probable result of aay particular surveillance being p formed is the verification of conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. The limit on Aension of the i

normal surveillance interval ensures that the reliability confirmed by surveillance activities is not significantly reduced below that obtained from the specified surveillance interval.
