Response time may be demonstrated by any s +eries of sequential, overlapping ;
or total channel test measurements provided that such tests demonstrate the l l total channel response time as defined. Sensor response time verification may j
be demonstrated by either 1) in place, onsite or offsite test measurements or l 2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times.

l l l 3/4.3.3 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.3.1 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the radiation monitoring channels ensures that 1) the I radiation levels are continually measured in the areas served by the individual I channels and 2) the level trip setpoint alarm or automatic action is initiated when the radiation is exceeded.
3/4.3.3.2 MOVABLE INCORE DETECTORS The OPERABILITY of the movable incore detectors with the specified minimum I complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this system accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core. The OPERABILITY of this system is demonstrated by irradiating l
each detector used and determining the acceptability of its voltage curve. l ForthepurposeofmeasuringF(Z)orFNHafullincorefluxmapisused.
q Quarter-core flux maps, as defined in WCAP-8648, June 1976, may be used in recalibration of the excore neutron flux detection system, and full incore flux maps or symmetric incore thimbles may be used for monitoring the QUADRANT ;

ENCLOSURE 2 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE
! SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-327 AND 50-328 (TVA-SQN-TS-94-03)
DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION FOR RELOCATION OF RESPONSE TIME LIMIT TABLES
Deacriplion of Citange TVA proposes to modify the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) Units 1 and 2 technical specifications (TSs) to relocate the response time limits for reactor trip and engineered safety feature functions. This change will revise TS Items 3.3.1.1, 3.3.2.1, and 4.3.1.1.3 for Unit 1 and Items 3.3.1, 3.3.2, and 4.3.1.1.3 for Unit 2. These revisions remove references to TS Tables 3.3-2 and 3.3-5 and incorporate a footnote that exempts neutron detectors from response time testing for Surveillance 4.3.1.1.3. TS Tables 3.3-2 and 3.3-5 have been deleted. A clarification has been added to the bases section indicating that the response time limits are maintained in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).
Egason for Change Relocation of the response time limits from TSs to the UFSAR will allow
- TVA to administrative 1y control changes to these limits in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 without the need to process license amendment requests. Placing these limits in the UFSAR will provide the ability to add additional discussions related to the existing response time footnotes that will clarify how the limits are applied. The proposed change will significantly reduce the time and cost associated with processing changes to the response time limits. The requirements to ensure such changes are adequately evaluated for the impact to nuclear safety will be controlled by the 10 CFR 50.59 process.
duS11fication for Change The proposed change is consistent with the guidance provided by NRC in Generic Letter 93-08 dated December 29, 1993, for the relocation of response time limit tables to the UFSAR. The TS surveillance requirements that verify the response times are within limits are unchanged and only the location of the limits is being changed. Changes ,
to the response time limits, after relocation to the UFSAR, will be controlled by the 10 CFR 50.59 process to ensure the SQN design basis is I maintained and no unreviewed safety question is created. Required plant procedure revisions will be subject to the requirements that control changes to plant procedures in accordance with the administrative controls section of the TSs. Changes to the response time limits will be submitted to NRC with the periodic updates to the UFSAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e). TVA will incorporate the reactor trip system and engineered safety feature actuation system response time limits in the next update of'the Final Safety Analysis Report following issuance of the TS amendment by NRC.
- Environmental _ Impact Evaluation The proposed change request does not involve an unreviewed environmental question because operation of SQN Units 1 and 2 in accordance with this j change would not:
- 1. Result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) as l
,e .
modified by the staff's testimony to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, supplements to the FES, environmental impact appraisals, or decisions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board.
- 2. Result in a significant change in effluents or power levels.
'. Result in matters not previously reviewed in the licensing basis for SQN th. sit may have a significant environmental impact.

l Significant Hazards Evaluation l
l TVA has evaluated the proposed technical specification (TS) change and i has determined that it does not represent a significant hazards consideration based on criteria established in 10 CFR 50.92(c). i Operation of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) in accordance with the proposed l amendment will not:
- 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of I an accident previously evaluated.
The proposed change does not alter the response time limit requirements for the reactor trip or engineered safety feature actuation systems or surveillance testing and frequency. Placing ,
these limits in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) will I ensure the plant design basis is maintained in accordance with '
l 10 CFR 50.59. Since no actual changes to response time limits or surveillance requirements are involved, the probability or consequences of an accident are not increased.
- 2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously analyzed. !
The proposed change does not affect any plant equipment, functions, or setpoint by relocating response time limits to the UFSAR.
Therefore, the possibility of a new or different kind of accident is not created.
- 3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The proposed change will continue to require SQN to maintain the !
plant functions at the required setpoints necessary for the design !
basis and to support the accident analysis. The margin of safety is l not reduced because there is no change to plant functions and the l 10 CFR 50.59 process will continue to ensure the plant design basis is appropriately maintained. I
