Unit 2-Amendment 230 San Onofre 1 .1-1 Unit 3-Amendment 223

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.

Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions, Completion Times, Surveillances, and Frequencies. The only logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and OR. The physical arrangement of these connectors constitutes logical conventions with specific meanings.

BACKGROUND Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions. These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action. The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the logical connector in the first level of nesting (i.e., left justified with the number of the Required Action).

The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors.

When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.

EXAMPLE The following example illustrates the use of logical connectors.

EXAMPLE 1.2-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 Verify ...

A.2 Restore ...

In this example the logical connector AND is used to indicate that when in Condition A, both Required Actions A.1 and A.2 must be completed.

Unit 2 - Amendment 230 San Onofre 1.2-1 Unit 3 - Amendment 223

Completion Times 1.3 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.3 Completion Times PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.

BACKGROUND Limiting Condition for Operation (LCOs) specify minimum requirements for ensuring safe storage of fuel assemblies. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Time(s).

DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time of discovery of a situation (e.g., inoperable equipment or variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the facility is in a specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO.

Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the facility is not within the LCO Applicability.

EXAMPLE The following example illustrates the use of Completion Times.

EXAMPLE 1.3-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME B. Required B.1 Verify ... 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> Action and associated Completion Time not met. B.2 Restore ... 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> Condition B has two Required Actions. Each Required Action has its own separate Completion Time. Each Completion Time is referenced to the time that Condition Bis entered.

The Required Actions of Condition B are to perform the verification within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> AND perform the restoration within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. A total of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> is allowed for performing the verification and a total of 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> (not 42 hours4.861111e-4 days <br />0.0117 hours <br />6.944444e-5 weeks <br />1.5981e-5 months <br />) is allowed for performing the restoration from the time that Condition B was entered. If verification is performed within 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />, the Unit 2 - Amendment 230 San Onofre 1.3-1 Unit 3 -Amendment 223

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times EXAMPLE (continued) time allowed for performing the restoration is the next 33 hours3.819444e-4 days <br />0.00917 hours <br />5.456349e-5 weeks <br />1.25565e-5 months <br /> because the total time allowed for performing the restoration is 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

  • IMMEDIATE When "Immediately" is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action COMPLETION should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.

TIME Unit 2 - Amendment 230 San Onofre 1.3-2 Unit 3 -Amendment 223

Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements.

DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated LCO. An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR.

The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0, Surveillance Requirement (SR)

Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR, as well as certain Notes in the Surveillance column that modify performance requirements.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified. In these examples, the Applicability of the LCO (LCO not shown) occurs whenever any fuel assembly is stored in the fuel storage pool.

EXAMPLE 1.4-1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify ... 7 days Example 1.4-1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (7 days) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time. Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 7 days, an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the stated Frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 3.0.1 (such as when the equipment is inoperable, a variable is outside specified limits, or the facility is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is in a specified condition in the Applicability of the LCO, then SR 3.0.3 becomes applicable.

Unit 2 - Amendment 230 San Onofre 1.4-1 Unit 3-Amendment 223

Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES (continued)

If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is not in a specified condition in the Applicability of the LCO for which performance of the SR is required, the Surveillance must be performed within the Frequency requirements of SR 3.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 3.0.4.

EXAMPLE 1.4-2 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify ... Prior to moving a fuel assembly ...

Example 1.4-2 illustrates a one time performance Frequency.

This type of Frequency does not qualify for the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2.

Unit 2 - Amendment 230 San Onofre 1.4-2 Unit 3 - Amendment 223

LCO Applicability 3.0 3.0 LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) APPLICABILITY LCO 3.0.1 LCOs shall be met during the specified conditions in the Applicability, except as provided in LCO 3.0.2.

LCO 3.0.2 Upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the Required Actions of the associated Conditions shall be met.

If the LCO is met or is no longer applicable prior to expiration of the specified Completion Time(s), completion of the Required Action(s} is not required, unless otherwise stated.

Unit 2-Amendment 230 San Onofre 3.0-1 Unit 3-Amendment 223

SR Applicability 3.0 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY SR 3.0.1 SRs shall be met during the specified conditions in the Applicability for individual LCOs, unless otherwise stated in the SR. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the LCO. Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the LCO except as provided in SR 3.0.3. Surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment or variables outside specified limits.

SR 3.0.2 The specified Frequency for each SR is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the Frequency is met.

SR 3.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified Frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the LCO not met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified Frequency, whichever is greater. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the Surveillance. A risk evaluation shall be performed for any Surveillance delayed greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and the risk impact shall be managed.

1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of environ-mental values during construction and operation of the nuclear facility. The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:

(1) Verify that the plant is operated in an environmentally acceptable manner, as established by the FES and other NRC environmental impact assessments.

(2) Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other Federal, State and local requirements for environmental protection.

(3) Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construction and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.

Environmental concerns identified in the FES which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.

1-1

2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL dated April 1981, the staff has considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.

2.1 Aquatic Issues (1) The need for aquatic monitoring programs to ensure protection of the San Onofre kelp bed (FES-OL, Sections 5.4.2.1 and 6.3.1).

(2) The need for continuation of the ichthyoplankton study until such time as it is possible to state credibly that no significant impacts result from the facility (FES-OL, Section 6.3.1).

(3) The need for a program for optimizing the effectiveness of the fish return system (FES-OL, Section 6.3.1).

Aquatic issues are to be addressed by the effluent limitations, monitoring requirements and demonstration studies contained in the effective NPDES permit issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board-San Diego Region.

The NRC will rely on that agency for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.

2.2 Terrestrial Issues None.

2.3 Cultural Resources Issues (1) The need to protect the archeological sites within the 230 kV transmission line right-of-way which were identified to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

3.0 Consistency Requirements

  • 3.1 Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests or experiments'affecting the environment provided such changes, tests or experiments do not involve an unreviewed environmental question. Changes in plant design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do not affect the environment are not subject to this requirement. Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subject to the requirements of this section.

Before engaging in unauthorized construction or operational activities which may affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity.* When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activities and obtain prior approval from the NRC.

A proposed change, test or experiment shall be deemed to involve an unreviewed environmental question if it concerns (1) a matter which may result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the final environmental statement (FES) as modified by the staff's testimony to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, supplements to the FES, environmental impact appraisals, or in any decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) a significant change in effluents or power level (in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51.5(b)(2)) or (3) a matter not previously reviewed and evaluated in the documents specified in (1) of this subsection, which may have a significant adverse environmental impact.

The licensee shall maintain records of changes in facility design or operation and of tests and experiments carried out pursuant to this subsection. These records shall include a written evaluation which provide bases for the determination that the change, test, or experiment does not involve an unreviewed environmental question.

"Wtivities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site prep-aration and plant construction.

4.2 Environmental Protection Program 4.2.1 Cultural Resources Data Recovery Program Fourteen archeological sites have been identified within the San Onofre 230 kV transmission line rights-of-way'which'.have been determined to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. It has been agreed by the NRC, the 4-1 . 168 :'

State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the licensee that the 14 sites would be adversely affected by the expected operation and maintenance activities of the licensee. It was further agreed that the appropriate action to be taken-for negating the adverse effects would be a data recovery program; such action would permit documentation of "no adverse effect" determinations.

The licensee is required to provide the NRC with a data recovery program which has been developed in consultation with the SHPO and concurred in by the SHPO. The 14 sites involved in the data recovery program are designated as ORA-495, ORA-4.96, ORA-499, ORA-825, ORA-830, ORA-831, SDi-6140, ORA-824, ORA-498, SDi-6130, SDi-6149, ORA-447, ORA-725, and ORA-438. The applicant will follow the guidelines presented in "Treatment of Archeological. Properties, A Handbook" published by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP),

November 1980 and in the Code of Federal Regulations referred to therein.

After ACHP comment is received by the NRC, the data recovery program will be revised, if necessary, to incorporate any comments provided by the ACHP. The applicant will then proceed, in consultation with the SHPO, to implement the data recovery program. Upon completion of the data recovery program, a report shall be submitted to the NRC which will include a description of the results of the program and the disposition of the data recovered. Upon submittal of this report, this section of the EPP is fully satisfied with no further action required.

  • .LICENSE AUTHORITY FILE CO NOT REMOVE APPENDIX C .

ANTITRUST CONDITIONS M -/6 LICENSE NO. NPF-10 The Southern California Edison Company shall comply with the following antitrust conditions:

1. As .used herein:

1.1 "Bulk Power" means the electric power, and any attendant energy, supplied or made available Mt transmission or sub-transmission voltage by one entity to another.

1.2 "Entity" means a person, a private or public corpora-tion, a municipality, a cooperative, an association, a joint stock association or business trust owning, operating or proposing in good faith to own or operate equipment or facilities for the generation, trans-mission or distribution of electricity to or for the public as a ut lity.

2. Southern California Edison (hereafter SCE) recognizes it is generally in the public interest for electric utilities to interconnect, coordinate reserves, and/or engage in bulk power supply transactions in order to provide mutual, though not necessarily equal benefits, to each of the parties in such arrangements. However, SCE should not be obligated to enter into such an arrangement if (1) to do so would violate, or incapacitate it from performing any lawfully existing contracts it has with another party or (2) there is contemporaneously available to it a mutually exclusive competing or alternative arrangement with another party which affords it greater benefits. In implementing the commitments in the succeeding paragraphs, SCE will act in accordance with these principles.
3. SCE shall, pursuant to such principles, permit participation on mutually agreeable terms in new nucleargenerating units initiated by SCE, upon timely applicationa by any entity(ies) within or contiguous to SCE's service area which at that time does not have access to an alternative comparably-priced source of bulk power supply. With respect to those units not initiated by SCE in which SCE is a joint participant with other utilities, SCE shall cooperate in facilitating the participation of any such entity(ies) which seeks such parti-cipation upon timely application.
4. SCE shall permit interconnection and coordination of reserves by means of agreements for the sale and purchase of emergency bulk power with any entity(ies) within or contiguous to SCE's service area and thereby allow such other entity(ies),

as well as SCg, full access on a proportionate basis to the benefits of reserve coordination. ("Proportionate basis" refers to the equalized percentage of reserves concept rather than the largest single-unit concept, unless the participants have otherwise agreed.) Interconnections will not be limited to low voltages when higher voltages are available from SCE's installed facilities in the area where interconnection is desired, when the proposed arrangement is found to be functionally, technically and economically feasible. Emer-gency service to be provided under such agreements will be furnished to the fullest extent available and desired where such supply does not jeopardize or impair service to the supplier's customers.

5. SCE shall sell bulk power to or purchase bulk power from any other entity(ies) within or contiguous to SCE's service area.

This refers to the mutually beneficial opportunity to coordinate in the planning of new generation, related trans-mission and associated facilities. This provision shall not be construed to require SCE to purchase or sell bulk power if such purchase or sale cannot be found to be functionally, technically and economically feasible.

-/With respect to SCE's present or future resale customers "timely application" shall be in no event later than 90 days after ptiblica-tion by the Atomic Energy Commission of the notice of the receipt of application for a construction permit. With respect to all other entity(ies) referred to above "timely application" shall be within a reasonable period from a planning standpoint after the first public announcement of SCE's intention to construct the specific unit, but in no event later than the said time specified for SCE's resale customers.

6. SCE shall, pursuant to such principles, transmit bulk power over its transmission facilities within its service area, both between or among two or more entities with which it is interconnected to the extent that such transmission can be found to be functionally, technically and economically feasible and can be effected without an adverse effect on service to its own customers. SCE is obligated under this condition to transmit bulk power on the terms stated above, and in connection with SCE's plan to construct new trans-mission facilities for its own use within its service area, to include in its planning and construction program sufficient transmission capacity as required for such transmission, provided that such entity(ies) are obligated to compensate SCE fully for the use of its system. SCE shall use its best efforts to facilitate the transmission of bulk power over then existing transmission facilities outside its service area for such entities.
7. The foregoing conditions shall be implemented in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Federal Power Act and all rates, charges, or practices in connection thereprith are to be subject to the approval of regulatory articies having jurisdiction over them.
