1. INTRODUCTION This report extends the generic study of modifying the technical' specification requirements of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) on a plant specific basis for Peach ~ Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (PBAPS), The generic study (Reference -1) provides a technical - ,

basis to modify tbc surveillance test frequencies and allowable  !

out-ef-service ricer of the - RPS f rom the generic technical [

specifications. The generic study also provides additional analyses of.various known different RPS configurations to support the applica-  !

tion of the generic basis on a plant specific basis. The generic  :

basis and the supporting analyses were utilized in this plant specific evaluation. The results of the plant specific evaluation for PBAPS are presented herein.

2. EVALL'ATION METHOD' The plant specific evaluation of the modification of the surveillance test f requencies and allowable out-of-service time of the RPS was performed in the following steps:
a. Cather plant specific infomation on the RPS from .

Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO). The info rmation includes the following: ,

(1) Elementary Diagram of the RPS and related systems.

(2) RPS description such as plant Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).  !

(3) Technical specifications on the RPS.

(4) RPS surveillance test procedures. -

The latest revision of Items 1,2 and 3 above were supplied >

by PECO. Item 4 above was provided by PECO in the form of a questionnaire identifying the differences between the procedure used in the generic evaluation and the procedure ,

used at PBAPS.Section I of the checklist in Appendix A was ,

used to identify the data source of the plant specific information.

b. Construct the plant specific RPS configuration from the plant specific information. Questions "A" through "H" in Section II of the checklist were used for this process. ,

i

c. Compare the plant specific RPS configuration with the generic RPS configuration using the generic RPS elementary l l

diagram, RPS description, technical specification require- I ments, and other generic inputs. Section III of the checklist was used for this process.

l

d. Classify the differences-into three categories: I 1

(1) Ob'vious items which have no effect on the reliability of the RPS. Examples of these "no effect" items are component ~ name differences, symbol differences, and other minor non-functional differences. Disposition.of the obvious "no effect" items does not require addi- '

]

tional analysis.

(2) Potential differences which' require considerable engineering judgment for disposition becaute of the functions,1 differences. Examples of thes" potential differences are separate channels for manaal scram as opposed to non-separate channel in tM generic plant and dual redundant contacts per sensor relay in the applicable trip channels as opposed to a single set of i

contacts in the generic plant. The disposition of such items would require engineering assessment as shown in -

i Appendix K of Reference 1.

(3) Potential differences which require additional analyses to evaluate the effect on the RPS reliability.  :

Examples of such potential differences are using HTA ..

relays as opposed to using both Potter and Brumfield relays and Agastat relays in the generic evaluation.

Disposition of these items would require additional analyses to compare with the generic results. These analyses are documented in Reference 1.  ;

e. Compile a list of plant specific differences of Category (2) and (3).
f. Assess the reliability effect of the differences identified in Step (e) on the generic results. The results of the assessment are documented in Section III of the checklist.
g. Document the results of the plant specific evaluation.

The above seven step process is documented in Appendix A of this report.

1 4 SLW.ARY AND CONCLUSIONS A plant specific evaluation of modifying the ' surveillance test fre-quencies and allowable out-of-service time of the RPS from the techni- i cal specifications of PBAPS has been performed. The evaluatiet. i utilized the generic basis and the additional analyses documented in '

Reference 1. The results indicated that the RPS - configuration ' for  :

PBAPS has several differences compared to the RPS configuration in the  !

generic evaluation. These differences and the assessment of their-effects on the RPS failure frequency are shown in Appendix A. The

~

analysis reported in Reference 1 shows tnat these differences would not significatly affect the improvement in plant safety due to the i changes in the technical specifications based on the generic analysis. .

Therefore, the generic analysis in Reference 1 is applicable to PBAPS. l
