ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS (Continurd) 1 The objective shall be to have operating personnel work a normal 8-hour day, 40-hour week while the plant is opera-ting. However, in the event that unforseen problems require substantial amounts of overtime to be used, or during extended periods of shutdown for refueling, major maintenance or major plant modifications, on a temporary basis, the follow-ing guidelines shall be followed:

a.

An individual should not be permitted to work more than 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> straight, excluding shift turnover time.

b.

An individual should not be permitted to work more than t

16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> in any 24-hour period, nor more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> I

in any 48-hour period, nor more than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> in any seven day period, all excluding shif t turnover time.

c.

A break of at least eight hours should be allowed between work periods, including shift turnover time.

d.

Except during extended shutdown periods, the use of over-time should be considered on an individual basis and not

'l for the entire staff on a shif t.

Any deviation from the above guidelines shall be authorized by the Plant Superintendent or predesignated alternate, or higher levels of management. kathorized deviations to the working hour guidelines shall be documented and available 4

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS according to work and job functions, 2 e.g., reactor operations and m2rveillance, inservice inspection, routine maintenance, special maintenance (describe maintenance), weste processing, and refueling. The dose assignments to various duty functions may be estimated based on pocket dosimeter, TLD, or film badge measu rements. Small exposures totalling less than 20 percent of the individual total dose need not be accounted for.

In the aggregate, at least 80 percent of the total whole body dose received from external sources should be assigned to specific major work functions.

'i ATTACHMENT B i

e Proposed Change Request No. 84 revises the Beaver Valley Power

}

Station, Unit No.1 Technical Specifications, Appendix A to incor-porate the applicable NUREG-0737 changes recommended by Generic Letter 82-16.

The change to Section 6.2.2 " Facility Staff" is an administrative

.)

j requirement to limit the working hours of plant personnel who perform j

safety related functions. This change is recommended by NUREG-0737, Item I.A.l.3.

i The change to Section 6.9.1.5 " Annual Reports" incorporates an administrative requirement to include all challenges to the pressurizer j)

Power Operated Relief Valves (PORV's) or Pressurizer Safety valves in

'l the annual report. The change to Section 6.9.1.8 " Prompt Notification l

With Written Followup" incorporates an administrative requirement to i

report any failure of the pressurizer PORV's or pressurizer Safety valves i

within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and provide a written followup within 14 days. These changes are recommended by NUREG-0737, Item II.K.3.3.

i i

1 The Technical Specification BASES were reviewed, and it was deter-mined that these changes will not reduce the margin of safety for any l

specification.

1 The Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Sections 4.2.2.7, 7.2,14.1.7 and 14.1.15, was reviewed and it was determined that these changes will not increase the likelihood of a malfunction of safety related equipment, increase the consequences of a malfunction previously analyzed, nor create the possibility of a malfunction different than previously evaluated and do not constitute an unreviewed safety question.

These proposed changes to Sections 5.2.2, 6.9.1.5 and 6.9.1.8 are administrative and do not involve physical changes to any plant safety related systems or components.

The OSC and ORC have reviewed this proposed change, and based on the above safety evaluation, it is concluded there is reasonable assurance that the public health and safety will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner.
