3/4.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES
.3/4.6.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT 3/4.6.1.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY '
PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the containment atmosphere will be restricted to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the accident analyses. This restriction, in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, will limit the
. site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR Part 100 during accident conditions.
The structural integrity of the primary containment is ensured by the successful completion of the Inservice Inspection Program for Post Tensioning Tendons and by associated visual inspections of the steel liner and penetrations for evidence of deterioration or breach of integrity. This ensures that the structural integrity of the primary containment will be maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Primary Containment Tendon surveillance Program. Testing and Frequency are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.35, Revision 3, except that the Unit I and 2 primary containments shall be treated as twin containments even though the Initial Structural Integrity Tests were not within 2 years of each other.
9 3/4.6.1.2 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT LEAKAGE.
The limitations on primary containment leakage rates ensure that the total containment leakage volume will not exceed the value assumed in the ,
accident analyses at the peak accident pressure of 39.6 psig, P . As an added conservatism, the measured overall integrated leakage rate is further limited to less than or equal to 0.75 L, during performance of the periodic tests to '
account for possible degradation of the containment leakage barriers between leakage tests.
Operating experience with the main steam line isolation valves has -
indicated that degradation has occasionally occurred in the leak tightness of the valves; therefore the special requirement for testing these valves.
The surveillance testing for measuring leakage rates is consistent with the requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR 50 with the exception of exemption (s) granted for main steam isolation valve leak testing and testing the airlocks after each opening.
3/4.6.1.3 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS h The limitation on closure and leak rate for the primary containment air (
locks are required to meet the restrictions on PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY o '
and the primary containment leakage rate given in Specificatiord 3.6.1.1 and> '
f3.6.1.h The specification makes allowances for the fact that tTere may be Elong periods of time when the air locks will be in a closed and secured position during reactor operation. Only one closed door in each air lock is re ire to aintain the_ integrity of the containment.
3h 6,L2 DE~LET$Dh 3l O U LAIALLE B 3/4 6-1 Amendment No. 100
- ATTACHMENT B PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE e LICENSE / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS page Bdl >
INSERT H PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY is maintained by limiting overall integrated leakage to s 1.0 L, and the Type B and C combined leakage rate acceptance criterion is s 0.60 L,. Prior to the first startup after performing a required 10 CFR 50, '

the overall Type A leakage must be < 0.75 L, when a Type A test is scheduled.' !
Compliance with this LCO will ensure a primary containment configuration, including equipment hatches, that is structurally sound and that will limit leakage to those leakage rates assumed in the safety analyses, q
The maximum allowable leakage rate for the primary containment (L,) is 0.635%

containment pressure (P,) of 39.6 psig. .
i Individual leakage rates specified for the primary containment air lock, main steam lines through the isolation valves, and valves in hydrostatically tested lines are j addressed in LCO 3.6.1.3, and Surveillance Requirement 4.6.3.6. t Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b maintains PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY by requiring compliance with the visual examinations and leakage rate test requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions.
Failure to meet air lock leakage testing (4.6.1.3) or main steam isolation valve leakage (4.6.3.6.a) does not necessarily result in a failure of this Surveillance Requirement, 4.6.1.1.b. The impact of the failure to meet these Surveillance Requirements 4.6.1.3 ;
and 4.6.1.1.b must be evaluated against the Type A, B, and C acceptance criteria of 1 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions. The leakage limits for main steam lines through the isolation valves and leakage test results of Seveillance Requirement 4.6.3.6.a are not included in the total sum of Type B and C tests (approved exemption). As-left leakage prior to the first startup after performing a ,
required 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, leakage test is required to be < 0.60 L, for combined Type B and C leakage, and < 0.75 L, for overall Type A leakage. At all other times between required Type A tests, the acceptance criteria is based on an overall Type A leakage limit of s 1.0 L,. At s 1.0 L, the offsite dose consequences are bounded by the assumptions of the safety analysis. The combined Type B and C leakage remains as s 0.60 L, between scheduled tests, in accordance with Appendix J.
The Frequency is required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions. Thus,4.0.2 (which allows Frequency extensions) does not apply to Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b.

Because of the'1erge value and theresi capacity of the suppression pool.
the volume and temperature normally changes very slowly and monitoring these permeters daily is sufficient to establish any temperature trends. By requid ng the suppression pool temperature to be frequently recorded during peMods of significant heat addition, the tamperature trends will be closely followed so that apprepM ata action con be taken. The requirement for an external visual examina-tion following any event where potentially high loadings could occur prwides assurance that ne significant damage was encountered.
In addition to the limits on taperature of the sgpression chamber pool wter, operating precedures define the action ta be taken in the event a safety-relief valve inadvertantly opens or sticks open. As a sinimum this action shall includar.(1) use of all available asent to close the valve, (2) initista suppree-sion pool water coeling, (3) initista reactor shutdown, and (4) if other safety-relief valves are used to depressuMze the reactor, their discharge shalf be ~
separated from that of the stuck-open safety relief valve to assure sizing and wifonrity of energy insertion'ta the peal.

ATTAC.HMENT B PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LICENSEfI'ECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS page B-Q INSERT J Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs) form a part of the primary containment boundary. The PCIV safety function is related to control of primary containment leakage rates during accidents or other conditions to limit the untreated release of radioactive materials from the containment in excess of the design limits.
The automatic isolation valves are required to have isolation times within limits and actuate on an automatic isolation signal. The valves covered by this specification are listed with their associated stroke times, and other design information for lines penetrating the Primary Containment, in UFSAR Section 6.2.
The normally closed isolation valves are considered OPERABLE when manual valves are closed, automatic valves are de-activated and secured in their closed position, blind flanges are in place, and closed systems are intact.
Main steam lines through the isolation valves and hydrostatically tested valves must meet alternative leakage rate requirements. Other PCIV leakage rates are addressed by specification 3/4.6.1.1, " PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY". UFSAR Section 6.2 also describes special leakage test requirements and exemptions.
This specification provides assurance that the PCIVs will perform their designed safety functions to control leakage from the primary containment during accidents.
The opening oflocked or sealed closed containment isolation valves on an intermittent basis under administrative control includes the following considerations: (1) stationing an operator, who is in constant communication with the control room, at the valve controls, (2) instructing this operator to close these valves in an accident situation, and (3) assuring that environmental conditions will not preclude access to close the valves and that this action will prevent the release of radioactivity outside the primary containment.

3/4.6.1 PRIMARY LONTAINMENT 3/4.6,1.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the containment atmosphere will be restricted to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the accident analyses. This restriction, in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, will limit the site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR Part 100 during accident conditions.
The structural integrity of the primary containment is ensured by the successful completion of the Inservice Inspection Program for Post Tensioning Tendons and by associated visual inspections of the steel liner and penetrations for evidence of deterioration or breach of integrity. This ensures that the structural integrity of the primary containment will be maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Primary Containment Tendon Surveillance Program. Testing and frequency are consistent with the recomendations of Regulatory Guide 1.35, Revision 3, except that the Unit I and 2 primary containments shall be treated as twin containments even though the Initial Structural Integrity Tests were not within 2 years of each other.
" 3/4.6.1.2 PRIMERYCONTAINMENTLEAKAGE The limitations on primary containment leakage rates ensure that the total containment leakage volume will not exceed the value assumed in the accident analyses at the peak accident pressure of 39.6 psig, P . As an added conservatism, the measured overall integrated leakage rate is further limited to less than or equal to 0.75 L, during performance of the periodic tests to account for possible degradation of the containment leakage barriers between leakage tests.
Operating experience with the main steam line isolation valves has indicated that degradation has occasionally occurred in the leak tightness of the valves; therefore the special requirement for testing these valves.
The surveillance testing for measuring leakage rates is consi: tent with the requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR 50 with the exception of exemption (s) granted for main steam isolation valve leak testing and testing the airlocks after each opaning.

ATTACHMENT B PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LICENSE / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS p_ age B-8 INSERT H PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY is maintained by limiting overall integrated leakage to s 1.0 L, and the Type B and C combined leakage rate acceptance criterion is s 0.60 L,. Prior to the first startup after performing a required 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, leakage test, the combined Type B and C leakage must be < 0.60 L , and the overall Type A leakage must be < 0.75 L, when a ' a pe A test is scheduled.
Compliance with this LCO will ensure a primary containment configuration, including equipment hatches, that is structurally sound and that will limit leakage to those leal age rates assumed in the safety analyses.
The maximum allowable leakage rate for the primary containment (L ) is 0.635%
by weight of the containment atmosphere per day at the calculated maximum peak containment pressure (P,) of 39.6 psig.
Individual leakage rates specified for the primary containment air lock, main steam lines through the isolation valves, and valves in hydrostatically tested lines are addressed in LCO 3.6.1.3, and Surveillance Requirement 4.6.3.6.
Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b maintains PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY by requiring compliance with the visual examinations and leakage rate test requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions.
Failure to meet air lock leakage testing (4.6.1.3) or main steam isolation valve leakage (4.6.3.6.a) does not necessarily result in a failure of this Surveillance Requirement, 4m.1.1.b. The impact of the failure to meet these Surveillance Requirements 4.6.1.3 and 4.6.1.1.b must be evaluated against the Type A, B, and C acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions. The leakage limits for main steam lines through the isolation valves and leakage test results of Surveillance Requirement 4.6.3.6.a are not included in the total sum of Type B and C tests (approved exemption). As-left leakage prior to the first startup after performing a required 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, leakage test is required to be < 0.60 L, for combined Type B and C leakage, and ,< 0.75 L, for overall Type A leakage. At all other times between required Type A tests, the acceptance criteria is based on an overall Type A leakage limit of s 1.0 L,. At s 1.0 L, the offsite dose consequences are bounded by the assumptions of the safety analysis. The combined Type B and C leakage remains as s 0.60 L, between scheduled tests, in accordance with Appendix J.
The Frequency is required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions. Thus,4.0.2 (which allows Frequency extensions) does not apply to Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b.

The PCIV safety function is related to control of primary containment leakage rates during accidents or other conditions to limit the untreated release of radioactive materials from the containment in excess of the design limits.
The automatic isolation valves are required to have isolation times within limits and actuate on an automatic isolation signal. The valves covered by this specification are listed with their associated stroke times, and other design information for lines penetrating the Primary Containment, in UFSAR Section 6.2.
The normally closed isolation valves are considered OPERABLE when manual valves are closed, automatic valves are de-activated and secured in their closed position, blind flanges are in place, and closed systems are intact.
Main steam lines through the isolation valves and hydrostatically tested valves must .neet alternative leakage rate requirements. Other PCIV leakage rates are addressed by specification 3/4.6.1.1, " PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY". UFSAR Section 6.2 also describes special leakage test requirements and exemptions.
This specification provides assurance that the PCIVs will perform their designed safety functions to control leakage from the primary containment during accidents.
The opening oflocked or sealed closed containment isolation valves on an intermittent basis under administrative control includes the following considerations: (1) stationing an operator, who is in constant communication with the control room, at the valve controls, (2) instructing this operator to close these valves in an accident situation, and (3) assuring that environmental conditions will not preclude access to close the valves and that this action will prevent the release of radioactivity outside the primary containment.

ATTACHMENT C SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION 1
Commonwealth Edison has evaluated the proposed Technical Specification '
Amendment and determined that it does not represent a significant hazards consderation. Based on the criteria for defining a significant hazards consideration established in 10 CFR 50.92, operation of LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the proposed amendment will not:
1
- 1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because of the following:
- a. The relocation of Technical Specification 3/4.6.1.2, Primary Containment Leakage, and Surveillance Requirements 4.6.1.1.a, 4.6.4.3, and 4.6.6.1.d to specification 3/4.6.1.1, Primary Containment Integrity, as Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b continues to assure that Primary Containment leakage is maintained within the analyzed limit assumed for accident analysis by testing in accordance with 10 CFR part 50, Appendix J as modified by approved exemptions.
The requirement to be less than 0.75 L, for as-left Type A test and less than 0.60 L, for Type B and C tests prior to first unit startup following testing performed in accordance with 10 CFR part 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions, provides margin for degradation between tests and thus primary containment integrity is maintained during the time period between required leakage testing. The current Limiting Condition for Operation 3.6.1.2 in conjunction with Surveillance Requirements 4.6.1.2 basically require the same leakage limits as proposed Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b. The Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) is required to be less than 1.0 L, and is applicable during a fuel cycle for the Type A test. The LCO for Type B and C combined leakage total is currently required to be less than 0.60 L,. The proposed Surveillance Requirement maintains the following:
- 1. The current LCO for Overall Containment leakage (as determined by a Type A test) and for the Type B and C combined leakage during the cycle by requiring overall containment leakage to be less than 1.0 L, and Type B and C leakage ti tal less than 0.60 L,.

- 2. The associated 6 nits specified in the current Action Statements are maintained by verifying Overall Containment leakage to be less than 0.75 L, and Type B and C leakage total less than 0.60 L, prior to startup from an outage in which the applicable leakage testing is conducted, t
Therefore, there is no change to the consequences of an accident previously evaluated, because maintaining leakage within the analyzed limit assumed for accident analysis does not change either the onsite or offsite dose consequences resulting from an accident. In addition to this, containment leakage is not an accident initiator, so there is no effect on the probability of accident initiators. Thus there is no increase in the probability of an accident previously analyzed,
- b. Helocation of Technical Specification table of Primary Containment Isolation Valves, Table 3.6.3-1, to the LaSalle UFSAR is an administrative change to remove the component list of Primary Containment Isolation Valves, Table 3.6.3-1, from the Technical Specifications. The Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO),3.6.3, is being revised to define which components the LCO applies to. The wording of the revised LCO encompasses all of the components listed in the current Technical Specification Table 3.6.3. Removal of this component list does not change the probability of any accident initiators or change any other relevant initial assumptions. Also, there il no change to the consequences of an accident previously evaluated, because removing this list from Technical Specifications does not change either the onsite or offsite dose consequences resulting from the event. The component list will be controlled by an Administrative Procedure and can only be changed by the 10 CFR 50.59 change process with review and approval per the Onsite Review and Investigative Function.
Therefbre, there is no increase in either the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

- c. The change in the functional test interval for the Drywell and Suppression Chamber Hydrogen Recombiner systems from "once per 6 months" to "once per 18 months" was determined by the NRC in NUREG 13G6 and Generic Letter 93-05 to be acceptable by evaluation of the industry Licensing Event Reports (LERs) to assess the reliability of
. hydrogen recombiners. The conclusion was that the interval should bc ,
changed, because of the redundancy and apparent high reliability. A '
review 'of LaSalle LERa hu shown only one LER that involved the operability of the hydrogen recombiner system and that was due to a Part 21 issue regarding circuit breaker environmental qualification. The breakers were replaced with qualified breakers. Therefore, the LaSalle Hydrogen Recombiner reliability is consistent with or better than that found by the NRC in determining this surveillance interval extension based on all LERs. Also, redundancy is the same as that assumed by the NRC; because, LaSalle has two hydrogen recombiner subsystems that are shared by Unit 1 and Unit 2. Both hydrogen recombiners subsystems are required to be Operable for either or both units in Operational Conditions 1 and 2. Based on LaSalle operating experience, the hydrogen recombiner subsystems are expected to continue to be demonstrated operable when the functional test is performed at an 18 month frequency.
Therefore, there is minimal or no change to the consequences of an accident previously evaluated, because at least one of the hydrogen recombiner subsystems is expect.ed to be available to meet its design ,
function to reduce the potential for hydrogen explosion or hydrogen burn in the primary containment. By preserving the integrity of the primary containment, there is no change to either the onsite or offsite dose consequences resulting from an accident. In addition to this, control of hydrogen concentration by use of a hydrogen recombiner subsystem is not an accident initiator, so there is no effect on the probability of l accident initiators. Thus there is no significant increase in the probability of an accident previously analyzed.

- d. The first exemption request is from the requirements of paragraph III.A.6(b) of Appendix J to allow LaSalle County Station Unit Two to return to or resume a Type A test schedule of three times in ten years (40 i10 months). Due to consecutive failures,10 CFR 50 Appendix J requires that Type A tests be performed every refueling outage on Unit Two until two consecutive Type A tests are satisfactory.10 CFR Part 50 ;
has an exemption process and is specified in 10 CFR Part 50.12(a),
which states:
"The Commission may, upon application by any interested person or upon its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of the regulations of this part,..."
The exemption process requires showing that the granting of the exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risle to the public health and safety, and is consistent with the common deiense and security. Also, special circumstances are required to be present for the granting of an exemption. One of the special circumstances that would apply in ibis instance is 10 CFR part 50.12(a)(2)(ii) which statt
" Application of the regulation in the particular circumstances would not serve the underlying purpose of the rule or is not necessary to achieve the underlying purpose of the rule" This requires that it be shown that unacceptable containment leakage will be identified and corrected, by alternative methods. The alternative method is specifically Type B and C tests, which willidentify any local penetration leakage. This is acceptable, because Type C test failures i have been the cause for failures of as-found Type A tests in the LaSalle Unit 2 first, third, and fburth refueling outages.
Exceeding the allowable leakage rate during the performance of the Type I
A test is indicative of either a passive or a structural component that is leaking or that there is an inadequacy in the Local Leak Rate Test (Type B and C tests) program. When the failure of a Type A test is due to a passive or structural component, the only test for adequate repair would 1 be the Type A test. For a Local Leak Rate Test program inadequacy, the k \nla;1asalicillrtfina.wif58 1
1
l ATTACHMENT C SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Type A test would serve as a means of verification of the results of the test program. The Type A tests have not found new significant Type B or C tested local penetration leakage that has not been identified by Type B or C testing alone. Therefore, the LaSalle Local Leak Rate Test program is adequate to find and correct Type B and C containment
, penetration leakage. 2 When it is determined that Type A tests failed as a direct result of as-found Type B and C minimum path leakage penalty additions and not due to a non Type B or C tested components or structures, then performance of the Type A test more frequently as required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, due only to Type B and C test failures is redundant to the performance of Type B and C tests. Therefore, Type B or C tested penetration leakage that can be determined by Type B or C tests is evaluated and corrected, as applicable, to maintain overall containment leakage within limits, without an additional Type A test.
Primary Containment leakage which includes the minimum path Primary Containment Isolation Valve leakage is an assumption in any analyzed accident which could involve an offsite radioactive release.
Because performance of Type B and C tests will find and allow correction / repair ofleaking valves / penetrations, verification of as-found and as-left local leakage assures that Primary Containment leakage will be within the analyzed limit assumed for accident analysis.
Therefore, for this one-time exemption for LaSalle Unit 2, there is little or no increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated involving the dose previously calculated either onsite or offsite at the site boundary due to any analyzed accident. In addition to this, containment leakage is not an accident initiator, so there is no effect on the probability of accident initiators. Thus there is no significant increase in the probability of an accident previously analyzed, un aumun u n n ne m

- e. The request for a partial exemption from paragraph III.D of Appendix J to 10 CFR 50 involves a deletion of the requirement to perform the third ;
Type A test for each 10-rmr service period during the shutdown for tne 10-year plant inservice i ;oections. There is no significant benefit in coupling these two sun mees (i.e., the Type A test and the'10-year. !

As a result, the Primary Containment will continue be maintained as designed and previously evaluated.

addition of a definition for the maximum allowable primary containment l leakage rate assures that the margin of safety is maintained.

- b. The Limiting Condition for Operation for Technical Specification 3.6.3, Primary Containment Isolation Valves, is revised by this Technical Specification change to specifically define the components to which the LCO applies.

The component list will be controlled administratively with any changes to the list made in accordance with the 10 CFR 50.59 change process. Therefore, this is an administrative change only and there is no reduction in the margin of j safety.

- d. The first exemption is from the requirements of paragraph III.A.6(b) of Appendix J to allow LaSalle County Station Unit Two to return to or resume a Type A test schedule of three times in ten years (40 10 months).

This request for exemption is based the fact that Type B and C testing minimum path leakage rate penalties are the direct cause of the failure of as-found Type A tests. The leakage through Type B and C tested !
penetrations is best measured and corrected via a local leak test.
Therefore, verification of an adequate margin of safety is assured by conducting Type B and C tests, and not another increased frequency Type A test.
- c. The request for a partial exemption from paragraph III.D of Appendix J to 10 CFR 50 involves a deletion of the requirement to perform the third Type A test for each 10-year service period during the shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspections.

When as-found Type A tests fail as a direct result of Type B and C test minimum path leakage penalties, then Type B and C testing in conjunction with the corrective and preventative maintenance for penetrations determined to be poor performers through a comprehensive corrective action plan will assure that the Primary Containment integrity will be maintained without additional Type A tests. Based on this, allowing exemption to the requirement of two acceptable as-found Type A tests prior to returning to the

ATTACHMENT D EXEMPTION REQUEST FROM APPENDIX J REQUIREMENTS FOR THE l' TYPE A INCREASED FREQUENCY AS A RESULT OF CONSECUTIVE FAILURES ;
BACKGROUND The primary objective of the regulations is to assure continuance of primary containment leak-tight integrity by.the conduct of Type A, B, and C tests on a i periodic basis. 10 CFR 50 Appendix J establishes two major categories of tests with separate criteria. The Type B and C tests, Local Leak Rate Tests (LLRTs),
are performed during each refueling outage while the Type A test, Containment Integrated Leak Rate Test (CILRT), is only performed every 40110 months to achieve three Type A tests in a ten year period. The Type B and C tests provide periodic surveillances of components such as isolation valves and resilient seals.
The Type A test provides a measure of the overall integrated leakage rate of the containment, including passive and structural components.
Exceeding the allowable leakage rate during the performance of the Type A test is indicative of either a passive or a structural component that is leaking, or an inadequacy in the local leak rate test program. When the failure of a Type A test is due to a passive or structural component, the only test for adequate repair would be the Type A test. If Type B and C leakage rates constitute an identified contributor to a Type A test failure, then as-left leakage iates are best determined by the associated Type B or Type C test.
However,10 CFR 50 Appendix J, Section IILA 6.(b), requires an increase in the frequency of Type A tests irregardless of the cause of two or more consecutive failures of as-found Type A tests.
LaSalle County Station (LaSalle) Unit 2 has experienced Containment Integrated Leak Rate Test (CILRT) (Type A test) failures for the "as-found" condition at the first, third and fourth refueling outages as a result of penalties from Local Leak Rate Test (LLRT)(Type B and C) failures. Therefore the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix J, Section III.A.6(b) are applicable, necessitating that a Type A test be performed at both the fifth refueling outage (L2R05) and the sixth refueling outage (L2R06) due to consecutive "as-found" Type A test failures. The Type A test performed at the end of L2R05 was acceptable in the as-found condition.

l ATTACHMENT D l EXEMPTION REQUEST FROM APPENDIX J REQUIREMENTS FOR THE i TYPE A INCREASED FREQUENCY AS A RESULT OF CONSECUTIVE FAILURES BACKGROUND (continued)
Appendix J establishes two types of tests with separate criteria. The Local Leak Rate Tests (LLRT)(Type B and C) are performed during each refueling outage while the frequency of the Type A test is as follows per 10 CFR 50, Appendix J section IILD.1.(a) Periodic retest schedule:
"(a) After the preoperational leakage rate tests, a set of three Type A tests shall be performed, at approximately equal intervals during each 10-year service period. The third test of each set shall be conducted when the plant is shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspections."
Likewise, the current LaSalle Unit 2 Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.2.a restates the Appendix J requirement:
Three Type A Overall Integrated Containment Leakage Rate tests shall be conducted at 40 10 month intervals during shutdown at P,,39 6 psig, during each 10-year service period. The third test of each set shall be conducted during the shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspection.
Therefore, Type A tests are performed every three or four years (40 10 months) to achieve three Type A tests in ten years, with the third Type A test coinciding with the tenth year of each ten year inservice inspection interval. The Type B and C tests provide periodic surveillances of components such as isolation valves and resilient seals. The Type A test provides a measure of the overall integrated leakage rate of the containment including testing of passive and structural components, thereby verifying the overall leakage integrity of the primary ;
containment. !
Based on IE Information Notice 85-71 dated August 22,1985 and an exemption granted to Iowa Electric Light and Power Company for the Duane Arnold Energy Center, the following discussion and attachments provide justification for the granting of a similar exemption to Commonwealth Edison Company for LaSalle County Station Unit Two.

The granting of an exemption is contingent upon the Commission's approval of proposed Technical Specification amendments for LaSalle County Station Unit 1 and Unit 2. The proposed amendments are being submitted in conjunction with this exemption request.
DISCUSSION Pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50.12(a), Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO),
requests a one-time exemption from the requirement to conduct an additional Type A test) at LaSalle County Station, Unit Two as required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Section III.A.6(b) which states, "If two consecutive periodic Type A tests fail to meet the applicable acceptance criteria in III.A.5.(b), not withstanding the periodic retest schedule of III.D., a Type A test shall be performed at each shutdown for refueling or approximately every 18 months, whichever occurs first, until two consecutive Type A tests meet the acceptance criteria in III.A.5.(b), after which time the retest schedule specified in III.D may be resumed."
Likewise, LaSalle Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specifications 4.6.1.2.b require the following:
"If any periodic Type A test fails to meet 0.75 L,, the test schedule for subsequent Type A tests shall be reviewed and approved by the Commission.
If tw, consecutive Type A tests fail to meet 0.75 L,, a Type A test shall be performed at least every 18 months until two consecutive Type A tests meet 0.75 L,, at which time the above test schedule may be resumed."
This exemption is requested to allow LaSalle to return to or resume a Type A test schedule of three times in ten years (40 10 months), as specified in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Section III.D.

Appendix J establishes two types of tests with separate criteria. The Local Leak Rate Tests (LLRT) (Type B and C) are performed during each refueling optage :
while the Type A test is only performed every three to four years to achieve three Type A tests in a ten year period. The Type B and C tests provide periodic surveillances of components such as isolation valves and resilient seals. The Type A test provides a measure of the overall integrated leakage rate of the containment, including passive and structural components.
Exceeding the allowable leakage rate during the performance of the Type A test is indicative of either a passive or a structural component that is leaking, or an inadequacy in the local leak rate test program. When the failure of a Type A test is due to a passive or structural component, the only test for adequate copair would be the Type A test.
The LaSalle Unit 2 Type A tests for the "as-found" condition at the first, third and fourth refueling outages failed as a result of as-found penalties from Type B and C test minimum path leakage penalty additions. The failures were not due to a non-local leak rate tested component or structure. As a result of the as-found Type A test failures,10 CFR 50 Appendix J, Section III.A.6(b) requires a Type A test at 18 month frequencies until two consecutive tests are less than 0.75 L,.
The first of the increased frequency Type A tests was performed during the LaSalle Unit 2 fourth refueling outage (L2R04) and was unacceptable. The second of the increased frequency Type A tests was performed during the LaSalle Unit 2 ;
fifth refueling outage (L2R05) and was acceptable. The third of the increased frequency Type A tests is due to be performed during the upcoming sixth refueling outage (L2R06).
The third LaSalle Unit 2 Type A test, performed in the fourth refueling outage, L2R04, exceeded the 0.75 L, limit, yet remained below the 1.0 L, limit. This !
failure was overwhelmingly due to a local failure of one penetration with two containment isolation valves in the reactor water cleanup system. The leakage of these valves accounted for more than 72% of the Type B and C test penalties which were applied to the "as-found" Type A test results.

The LaSalle Station L2R04 as-found Type A test did not exceed the 1.0 L, criteria.
This was a non-reportable event even though the 0.75 L, criteria was exceeded, i due to the current LaSalle Technical Specification Limiting Condition for ,
Operation 3.6.1.2. ofleakage less than L,, not less than 0.75 L,. Thus, the design leakage for the primary containment was not exceeded during the previous 18 month cycle.

LaSalle is conducting an aggressive Corrective Action Plan to directly address and eliminate the local sources ofleakage as an alternative to conducting an increased frequency of Type A testing. In lieu of this, continuing to perform a Type A test at a frequency greater than 3 times in 10 years, due solely to Type B and C test failures, is only redundant to the performance of Type B and C tests. There is little or no benefit to be gained from performing a Type A test at an increased frequency.

In support of this are the following:
- 1. IE Information Notice 85-71 dated August 22,1985 states in part,
" .. if Type B and C leakage rates constitute an identified contributor !
to this failure of the "as-found" condition for the Type A test, the l general purpose of maintaining a high degree of containment ;

In this situation, the licensee may submit a Corrective Action Plan with an alternative leakage test program proposal as an exemption request for NRC staff review. If this submittal is approved by the NRC staff, the licensee may implement the corrective action and alternative leakage test program in lieu of the required increase in Type A test frequency incurred after the failure of two successive Type A tests."
- 2. 10 CFR Part 50.12(a) indicates that the Commission may grant exemptions if the exemption will not present undue risk to public health and safety, is consistent with the common defense and security and special circumstances are present. l An exemption is authorized by law because only the regulation requires the test and the NRC is authorized to grant exemptions from its regulations.
No undue risk to public health and safety would result from this exemption j because local leakage will be corrected in accordance with the Corrective l Action Plan which is described in Attachment B. The common defense and l security is not afTected by this exemption. Therefore the exemption :

- 3. Iowa Electric Light and Power Company requested an exemption to the same retest requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix J in a letter dated April 2, 1990 fbr the Duane Arnold Energy Center. Their Corrective Action Plan involved the repair, modification, maintenance, and special testing of the Main Steam Isolation and Feedwater Check Valves, which were the significant contributors to the as-found Type A test failures due to excess leakage through these valves. The initial problems experienced with LaSalle's Main Steam Isolation and Feedwater Check Valves were corrected through applicable procedure changes and/or modifications. Attachment F,
" Corrective Action Plan for Type C Test Failures Contributing to "As-Found" Type A Test Failures", includes similar successful or planned corrective actions for specific valves that have been major contributors to as-found Type A test fhilures. The Corrective Action Plan is directed at improving the overall Type B and C test program based upon enhanced trending and engineering evaluation.
- 4. 10 CFR Part 50.12(aX2)(iv) identifies as another special circumstance:
"The exemption would result in a benefit to the public health and safety that compensates for any decrease in safety that may result from the grant of the exemption."
Exemption from the requirements to perform a Type A test at the next refueling outage will prevent a radiological exposure of approximately 3 manrem to plant personnel associated with performing a Type A test. This health and safety benefit helps compensate for any perceived decrease in safety that may result from granting the requested exemption.

- 5. There is also a time and cost benefit to not performing a Type A test more frequently. The test would add two to four days (scheduled for 3.5 days) to i the end of the sixth LaSalle Unit Two refueling outage (L2R06). The Engineering Staff, Operating, Maintenance, and Radiation Protection departments would need to devote approximately 1000 man-hours of work to prepare for, perform, and recover from this major test.
- 6. This request for a one-time exemption from Appendix J also merits consideration, because:
- a. Type B and C tests are better at detecting both penetration seal leakage and containment isolation valve leakage.
- b. The third Type A test failure was non-reportable since the 1.0 L, criteria was not exceeded. This failure was shown to be almost wholly attributable to the local failure of the reactor water cleanup suction isolation valves. The Reactor Water Cleanup Suction containment isolation valves were replaced with double-disc gate valves prior to startup from L2R04.
LaSalle is addressing the concern of excessive leakage found during Type C Local Leak Rate Testing through an aggressive Corrective Action Plan.

SUMMARY
LaSalle is presently required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Section HI.A.6.(b)(and the current Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.2.b.) to conduct a Type A test on Unit Two during the next refueling outage (L2R06) scheduled to begin in February,1995. This Type A test will be performed unless an exemption from this requirement (and approval of the associated proposed amendment to LaSalle Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specifications) is granted. The granting of an exemption to Iowa Electric Light and Power Company's Duane Arnold Energy Center (June 29, 1990) has established precedence in this matter.
LaSalle's extensive Corrective Action Plan proposed in lieu of the additional Type A testing includes an augmented Local Leak Rate Test program similar to that of Duane Arnold's. The attached Corrective Action Plan follows the guidance in Information Notice 85-71, assuring that Primary Containment integrity can be maintained without increasing the frequency of Type A tests. The plan not only better implements the safety purpose of the rule, but it also avoids unnecessary occupational radiation exposure to station personnel.
The third Unit 2 Type A test failure remained below the reportable limit of 1.0 L, !
even though 0.75 L, was exceeded. This was overwhelmingly due to a local failure of two containment isolation valves in the same penetration in the Reactor Water Cleanup System. The leakage of these valves accounted for the majority of the Type B and C test penalties which were applied to the "as-found" Type A test results.

SUMMARY
(continued)
IE Information Notice 85-71 dated August 22,1985 addresses alternatives to increased frequency Type A testing such as correctivo action plans as well as an C increased frequency of Type B and C testing. The replacement of the two troublesome Reactor Water Cleanup Suction containment isolation valves combined with the increased frequency of Type B and C testing is consistent with the Commission's philosophy regarding alternatives to Type A testing.
CONCLUSION LaSalle Station's Type A test one-time exemption request merits consideration, since the as-found Type A test was less than 1.0 L,, the current LCO, for L2R04 and the as-found Type A test was less than 0.75 L, for L2R05. Granting LaSalle a one-time exemption from this testing is consistent with NRC requirements and practice. LaSalle meets the requirements for an exemption from the need for an additional Type A test as previously demonstrated. If the Type A test scheduled to be performed in the LaSalle Unit 2 seventh refueling outage, L2R07, is unacceptable in the as-found condition per 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, then the frequency will be adjusted in accordance with Appendix J as if there were 2 consecutive failures. A Type A test summary and proposed Type A test schedule is included as Attachment G.
It is requested that this exemption request be reviewed and approved for implementation by March 15,1995. This would serve to avoid delays and additional work during the LaSalle Unit Two sixth refueling outage scheduled in February of 1995.

ATTACHMENT E EXEMPTION REQUEST FROM APPENDIX J REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TYPE A NORMAL TEST SCHEDULE, SEPARATING THE TYPE A TEST SCHEDULE FROM THE INSERVICE INSPECTION SCHEDULE BACKGROUND In order to ensure offsite doses remain below those previously evaluated in the event of a design basis accident, leakage from the primary containment must be limited. To ensure that containment leakage remains within these limits, periodic leakage rate tests are performed. Specifically,10 CFR 50.54(o) requires primary reactor containments for water cooled power reactors to be subject to the leakage rate testing requirements set forth in Appendix J to 10 CFR 50. LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 (LaSalle) Technical Specifications 3/4.6.1.2, " Primary Containment Leakage," provides additional requirements for performing leakage rate testing and specifies the associated limits. The leakage rate testing program for LaSalle is described in Section 6 of the LaSalle Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR).
LaSalle is requesting an exemption from paragraph III.A.6.(b) to return to a Type A test frequency of three times in ten years, and thus not perform a second increased frequency Type A test in the upcoming Unit 2 sixth refueling outage, L2R06. The exemption request, discussed in Attachment D of this submittal, necessitates that LaSalle request partial exemption from 10 CFR 50 Appendix J in accordance with 10 CFR 50.12, because L2R06 is the last refueling outage in the first ten year Inservice Inspection (ISI) interval for Unit 2.
The attached request, for a one time exemption from the increased Type A test frequency requirements of Appendix J section III.A.6(b), requires a change to the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements of specification 3/4.6.1.2, l Primary Containment Leakage. Likewise, the permanent exemption to decouple the normal frequency of 3 times in 10 years (40 10 months) from the Inservice Inspection Schedule (ISI) requires a change to the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements of specification 3/4.6.1.2, Primary Containment Leakage.

ATTACHMENT E EXEMPTION REQUEST FROM APPENDIX J REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TYPE A NORMAL TEST SCHEDULE, SEPARATING THE TYPE A TEST SCHEDULE FROM THE INSERVICE INSPECTION SCHEDULE BACKGROUND (continued)
Both exemption requests require a change to Technical Specifications 3/4.6.1.2, because the 4.6.1.2 Surveillance Requirements for Type A tests basically duplicate the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix J with respect to Type A testing and frequency of testing. Therefore, any time a rule change occurs or an exemption is required, a Technical Specification amendment is also required. The Technical Specification change, requested in Attachment A of this submittal, is proposed to relocate Primary Containment leakage specification 3/4.6.1.2 to specification 3/4.6.1.1, " Primary Containment Integrity," as new Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b.
DISCUSSION In accordance with 10 CFR 50.12, LaSalle is requesting a partial exemption from the 10 CFR 50 Appendix J, Section III.D.1(a) requirement to perform the third Type A test of each 10-year service period when the plant is shut down for the 10-year plant inservice inspections.
LaSalle also requests the following change to LaSalle Technical Specification 3/4.6.1.2, " Primary Containment Leakage." The change is being proposed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.90 and is reflected in Attachment A. The change to Technical Specification 3/4.6.1.2 and its associated bases is to relocate the requirements regarding primary containment leakage to specification 3/4.6.1.1,
" Primary Containment Integrity," as new Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b. This will delete the specifics regarding Type A testing frequency. The proposed change to Technical Specifications will remove the Technical Specification requirement of performing the third Type A test of each 10-year service period during the shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspections and is therefore consistent with the proposed partial exemption.
K: snlailasalleiilrt fina.gf 79
ATTACHMENT E EXEMPTION REQUEST FROM APPENDIX J REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TYPE A NORMAL TEST SCHEDULE, SEPARATING THE TYPE A TEST SCHEDULE FROM THE INSERVICE INSPECTION SCHEDULE DISCUSSION (continued)
The frequency of the Type A test is as follows per 10 CFR 50, Appendix J section III.D.1.(a) Periodic retest schedule:
"(a) After the preoperational leakage rate tests, a set of three Type A tests shall be performed, at approximately equal intervals during each 10-year service period. The third test of each set shall be conducted when the plant is shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspections."
Likewise, LaSalle Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements 4.6.1.2.a restate the Appendix J requirement:
"Three Type A Overall Integrated Containment Leakage Rate tests shall be conducted at 40 10 month intervals during shutdown at P,,39.6 psig, during each 10-year service period. The third test of each set shall be conducted during the shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspection. "
LaSalle proposes to perform the three Type A tests at approximately equal intervals within each 10-year period, with the third test of the set conducted as close as practical to the end of the 10-year period without exceeding the 40 10 month band currently specified in specification 4.6.1.2.a. However, there would be no required connection between the Appendix J 10-year interval and the inservice inspection 10-year interval. LaSalle Unit 2's first 10-year Appendix J interval ends in 1994. LaSalle is therefore currently required to perform a Type A test during the spring 1995 refueling outage.
The 10-year plant inservice inspection (ISI) is the series of inspections performed every 10 years in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a. LaSalle performs the ISI volumetric, surface and visual examinations of components and system pressure tests in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(gX4) throughout the 10-year inspection interval. The major portion of this effbrt is presently being performed every 18 months during the refueling outages. LaSalle's FIRST 10-year ISI i program ends in October,1994. LaSalle is scheduled to complete the first 10-year k sniadasallelilrtIina.wpfPO
ATTACHMENT E EXEMPTION REQUEST FROM APPENDIX J REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TYPE A NORMAL TEST SCHEDULE, SEPARATING THE TYPE A TEST SCHEDULE FROM THE INSERVICE INSPECTION SCHEDULE DISCUSSION (continued) program during the spring of 1995 as allowed by Section XI IWA 2400(c). The inservice inspections scheduled during the 1995 refueling-outage will complete the first 10-year ISI program. The LaSalle Unit 2 first 10-year Appendix J interval will end in October 1994. The fourth Unit 2 Type A test was performed in the fifth refueling outage in December 1993. Approval of this proposed exemption, in conjunction with the approval of the exemption requested by Attachment D of this submittal, will allow scheduling of the next LaSalle Unit 2 Type A test for the seventh refueling out. age to start the three-times-in-ten-years frequency for the second ten year interval. This will maintain approximately equal intervals as required by paragraph III.D of Appendix J.
SUMMARY
AND CONCLUSION Each of these two surveillance tests (i.e., the Type A and the 10-year ISI program) is independent of the other and provides assurances of different plant characteristics. The Type A test assures the required leak-tightness to demonstrate compliance with the guidelines of 10 CFR Part 100. The 10-year ISI program provides assurance of the integrity of the structures, systems, and components in compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a. There is no benefit to be gained by coupling these requirements to the same refueling outage in that elements of the LaSalle ISI program are conducted throughout each 10-year cycle rather than during a refueling outage at the end of the 10-year cycle. Consequently, the subject coupling requirement offers no benefit either to safety or to economical '
operation of the facility. Accordingly, the subject exemption request meets the underlying purpose of the rule [10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii)].
Consistent with this exemption request, a proposed change to LaSalle Technical Specification 3/4.6.1.2 is also being requested, as described in Attachment A.

A. Problems:
i
- 1. The LaSalle Unit Two Type B and C test leakage exceeded the !
0.60 L, maximum path leakage, for Type B and C components, during
.each of the first five refueling outages .(1987,1988,.1990,1992 and 1993, respectively).
- 2. During the first, third and fourth refueling outages, the LaSalle Unit Two Type A test failed the as-found condition due to the penalty additions from Type C tests (minimum path leakage). The minimum path leakage would have been acceptable if a Type A test had been required during the second refueling outage. The as-found 0.60 L, minimum path leakage was not exceeded during either the Unit Two fourth refueling outage, L2R04 or the fifth refueling outage, L2R05.
B. Root Causes of the Problems:
- 1. Containment Isolation Valve leakage,
- 2. Inappropriate local leak rate test method for some types of valves, and
- 3. Weak trending and comparison of valve / penetration performance.
C. General Local Leak Rate Test program improvements:
This is achieved through the development of an ongoing quality Type B and .
C test program coupled with proper maintenance, root cause investigation, and engineering ana?ysis to determine short and long term corrective actions.
LaSalle County Station has a policy to maintain the primary containment leakage as low as possible. Administrative limits are set for each penetration / component. A component is repaired ifits limit is exceeded. A technical evaluation is performed on a case-by-case basis to allow an administrative limit to be exceeded only if the overall containment leakage 1

k : \ r.la \.lasalleillrt f a ria.wpf 82
ATTACHMENT F CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR TYPE C TEST FAILURES CONTRIBUTING TO "AS-FOUND" TYPE A TEST FAILURES is exceptionally low. This policy is established by LaSalle Technical Surveillance LTS-300-5, " Local Leak Rate Test,0.60 L Accountability Program".
The. total maximum-pathway leakage rate is repo.rted to the start-up on-site review committee for approval prior to the end of each refueling outage.
Problem Identification Reports (PIFs) (investigative reports) are initiated as required to document any Type B and/or C failures and describe corrective actions. Type B and C testing is considered an important and effective program where actions are taken to address problem areas independent of the Type A test.
LaSalle County Station has established motor operated valve preventative maintenance on Containment Isolation valves which includes:
- 1. The valve operator will be scheduled for refurbishment, ifits ,
associated motor operator gear box grease sample is unacceptable.
- 2. Diagnostic testing of motor operated valve thrust capabilities is underway in accordance with LaSalle responses to Generic Letter 89-10 and it's supplements. Static testing will be completed at least once on all applicable valves by the end of the sixth refueling outage on each LaSalle Unit. Dynamic testing will be completed at least once on all applicable valves by the end of the sixth refueling outage for LaSalle Unit 2 and the seventh refueling outage for LaSalle Unit 1.
D. Specific corrective actions completed or planned on specific valves identified as problems thus far which also impact the Type A test:
- 1. 2RE024/2RE025, Drywell Equipment Drain Sump and 2RF012/2RF013, Drywell Floor Drain Sump Penetrations:
The drywell equipment and floor drain sumps penetration isolation J valves have repeatedly failed Type C tests. The cause of the failures has been attributed to the introduction of dirt / foreign objects into the drywell equipment and/or floor drain sumps during extended or i refueling outages. The dirt or foreign material would subsequently be !

ATTACHMENT F CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR TYPE C TEST FAILURES CONTRIBUTING TO "AS-FOUND" TYPE A TEST FAILURES pumped through the valves causing this material to settle on valve ,
seats. The result of this caused improper / incomplete valve disc seating and/or irregularities to the valve seat /dise during subsequent valve operation. ,
An evaluation was performed to resolve the recurring failures. It was determined that the best solution to this problem was to install screens at the bottom of the sumps during extended or refueling outages. This would prevent foreign material from entering into the piping / isolation valve seats, thus mitigating valve leakage. The equipment and floor drain sumps have additionally been placed on a periodic cleaning schedule which will also minimize foreign material buildup / transfer.
Sump screens were installed and cleaned during each Unit's fourth refueling outage (Unit 1, L1R04, in the Spring of 1991, and Unit 2, L2R04, in the Spring of 1992). Since the fourth refueling outage for each unit, the sumps have been cleaned and have had screens / standpipes installed to prevent / minimize the intrusion of foreign material into the system piping. This corrective action has demonstrated an improvement in the valves' leakage performance.
Since the implementation of the corrective action, only one valve Type C test failure has occurred. This failure was during L2R05 when it was determined that 2RF012 had excessive leakage. The failure was attributed to dirty seating surface coupled with inadequate spring tension on the valve actuator. the valve seating surfaces were cleaned and the actuator was rebuilt. The minimum pathway leakage was not affected by this failure, as the redundant containment isolation valve 2RF013 wa3 determined to have satisfactory performance.
Ongoing monitoring of valve leakage performance continues to demonstrate that the resolution is in fact appropriate and does not i require any further action, at this time.

- 2. 2G33-F001/2G33-F004, Reactor Water Cleanup Suction Penetration:
Recurrent Type C test failures of the Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU)
Suction Isolation Valves have been a contributor to the "as-found" Type A test failures. The causes of the RWCU Isolation Valve i failures vary, but were mainly attributed to dirty or scratched seating surfaces. Table 2 shows the as-found Local Leak Rate Test results for both Unit I and Unit 2 Reactor Water Cleanup Suction Isolation Valves, starting with each unit's first refueling outage.
Starting with the Unit 2 third refueling outage (L2R03), LaSalle revised the testing methodology for the RWCU isolation valves.
Previous isolation valve testing simultaneously pressurized the volume between the two valves. This method created much difficulty in troubleshooting to determine leakye through each valve and ,
identifying the minimum path leakage which would be added to the as-found Type A test results. The new method tests the valves individually in the normal direction (from inside the containment).
This simpler method allows the test engineer to identify the exact leakage through each valve.
An engineering evaluation determined that the single flex wedge gate valve design was inappropriate for the RWCU suction application.
The evaluation concluded that a double disc gate valve would greatly improve leakage performance for this particular application. Each valve of the new design has two discs and associated seating surfaces, thus doubling the number of valve leakage barriers.
LaSalle surveyed other utilities to obtain information on the performance of double disc gate valves in the RWCU suction application. Double disc gate valves are in use in the same application at Clinton Power Station with no valve leakage problems.
The Hope Creek Nuclear Station has not had any recurring problems with double disc gate valves installed since 1985. The Fitzpatrick plant has recently installed double disc gate valves for the same application due to failures with the single flex wedge gate design.

T' ATTACHMENT F CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR TYPE C TEST FAILURES CONTRIBUTING TO "AS-FOUND" TYPE A TEST FAILURES Fitzpatrick experienced Type C test problems after initial installation, believed to be due to improper installation. The valvcs were retested satisfactorily after maintenance.
The L2R04. primary-containment.as-found Type.A test result of i 0.6155% per day exceeded the 0.75 L, criteria of 0.476% per day due to the Calculated Adjusted of 0.2632% per day and was therefore considered a failure. The maximum allowable containment leak rate (L,) of 0.635% per day was not exceeded. Note: The Calculated
. Adjusted leakage rate is found by adding any improvements in local leakage rates due to repair and adjustments to the Type A test results using minimum pathway leakage methodology. The Calculated Adjusted is then used to determine the total as-found containment minimum pathway leakage rate which applies to the as-found Type A test.
The Reactor Water Cleanup Suction i enetration contributed 115.7 scfh to the total Calculated Adjusted of 159.765 scfh and accounted for 72.4% of the total. The sum of the Calculated Adjusted and the as-left Type A test, less the RWCU contribution, would have been 44.1 scfh, or 0.0726% per day. This would have resulted in an as-found Type A test of 0.4249% per day, which is below the 0.75 L, criteria of 0.476% per day.
The Reactor Water Cleanup Suction penetration has historically been a major contributor to and cause of as-found Type A test failures at LaSalle Station. During L2R04 the Reactor Water Cleanup Suction Containment Isolation valves 2G33-F001 and 2G33-F004 were replaced with updated double disc design gate valves per planned modification. They were both successfully Local Leak Rate Tested with zero leakage following replacement. Approximately one month later the 2G33-F001 and 2G33-F004 valves were retested due to motor operator maintenance with Type C test results of 1.5 scfh and 1.44 scfh, respectively.

LaSalle Station is confident that the leakage performance of the Reactor Water Cleanup penetration will greatly enhance the Type B and C test / Type A test program.
- 3. 2IN031, Transverse Incore Probe (TIP) Air Purge Supply Penetration:
The TIP Purge Air Supply Isolation Valve,2IN031, is a single containment isolation valve. This component failed its Type C test during the Unit 2 first refueling outage and greatly contributed to the "as-found" Type A test failure. The cause of the failure was attributed to a dirty seating surface along with corrosion. The valve was disassembled, cleaned and the internals were replaced.
The 2IN031 valve was originally tested in the " reverse" direction. l The test procedure, LTS-100-22, "Drywell Pneumatic System l Discharge Isolation Valves Local Leak Rate Tests 1(2)IN017, l 1(2)IN031, and 1(2)IN018", was revised to test the component in the
" normal" direction which is from inside the containment.
The 2INO31 valve has performed satisfactorily with no leakage since the initial failure during the first refueling outage, demonstrating that the corrective actions taken in the Unit 2 first refueling outage (L2R01) were adequate.

SDC) R-eturn Penetration:
The "A" RHR SDC Return Isolation Valve,2E12-F053A, failed its Type C test during the. Unit 2 first refueling outage and greatly contributed to the "as-found" Type A test failure. The cause of the leakage was identified to be a defective valve disc. A new valve disc was installed and the nlve seat was refaced.
The repair action was very successful based on subsequent testing '
performed during the following four refueling outages. Testing conducted since the initial Type C test failure yielded minimal or no leakage.
- 5. 2E12-F053B, "B" RHR Shutdown Cooling (RHR SDC) Return Penetration:
The "B" RHR SDC Return Isolation Valve,2E12-F053B, failed its Type C test during the Unit 2 third refueling outage and greatly contributed to the "as-found" Type A test failure. The cause of the excessive leakage was determined to be the failure of the motor operator to properly drive the disc far enough into its seat. The motor operator was refurbished and the valve was retested with satisfactory results. A torque switch that may have contributed to the failure was the sole item replaced during the refurbishment. It was replaced only because it was made of the wrong material (melamine torque switches have been systematically replaced due to a ,
Part 21 notification) and no specific problem with the torque switch was noted in the work request documentation.
The root cause of the valve failing to fully close was undetermined.
LaSalle Administrative Procedure LAP-300-31, " Motor Operated Valve Program", has since been revised to require root cause determination for any Motor Operated Valve failure to prevent recurrence. This failure is deemed an isolated occurrence based upon a review of motor operated valve work request history.

This valve was satisfactorily tested with zero leakage during the Unit 2 fourth and fifth refueling. outages.(L2R04 and L2R05). Prior to the Type C test failure the 2E12-F053B valve was tested with satisfactory results during the first and second refueling outages.
- 6. 2HG005A/2HG006A, Unit 2 Hydrogen Recombiner 2HG01A Unit 2 Suppression Pool Discharge Penetration:
The Unit 2 Hydrogen Recombiner 2HG01A Unit 2 Suppression Pool Discharge Isolation Valves,2HG005A and 2HG006A, have had recurring Type C test failures. During the LaSalle Unit 2 first refueling outage (L2R01), the excessive leakage greatly contributed to the "as-found" Type A test failure. The cause of the Type C test failure was determined to be valve seat irregularities. Valve seating surfaces were lapped and the valves were retested satisfactorily.
Only the 2HG006A isolation valve continued to experience leakage during the second, third, and fifth refueling outages (L2R02, L2R03 and L2R05). In each of these instances the valve was determined to have a dirty and irregular seating surface. Retests were performed satisfactorily following cleaning and lapping of the seating surfaces.
Type A test "as-found" results would not have been affected by the single valve Type C test failure since the first refueling outage.
Because of the 2HG005A/2HG006A Isolation valve Type C test failures, all Hydrogen Recombiner Primary Containment Isolation Valves are under an ongoing evaluation to determine what long term corrective action is required to prevent recurring Type C test failures.
There are six other isolation valves of the same size and function as 2HG005A and 2IIG006A, associated with the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Combustible Gas Control Systems. The only other valve failing in a similar manner is the Unit 2 Hydrogen Recombiner 2HG01A Unit 1 Suppression Pool Discharge Valve,1HG005B, which failed the Type C test administrative limit.

There have been a total of seven Type C test failures in 24 Type C tests for these four penetrations and four of these are associated with ;
the 2HG005A/2HG006A penetration. The three remaining failures were associated with the 1HG005B/1HG006B penetration, which were .
corrected by cleaning and. lapping the valve. seat of the.1HG005B. l This Unit 1 penetration was satisfactorily Type C tested three times after the initial failure during the Unit I reactor recirculation pumps forced maintenance and surveillance outage, 5/28/87- 9/14/87 (hereafter designated as "RR/PP"). However, the penetration has failed the last two cefueling outages, L1R05 and L1R06, in the as-found condition.
There are four other penetrations associated with the supply lines to the Hydrogen Recombiners. The Unit 1 Hydrogen Recombiner ,
1HG01A Unit 1 Drywell Suction Valve,1HG001A, and the Unit 2 Hydrogen Recombiner 2HG01A Unit 1 Drywell Suction Valve, 1HG001B, each failed their respective Type C tests during the Unit 1 third refueling outage and were repaired by lapping the valve seats. !
Both of these penetrations were satisfactorily Local Leak Rate Tested during the Unit 1 fourth, fifth and sixth refueling outages. The Unit 1 Type C test failures were shown by test to be due to only one of the two valves in each penetration, so the as-found Type A test was not affected. i l
The Unit 2 2HG005A and 2HG006A containment isolation valves are l to be tested during any non-refueling outage with Unit 2 in cold i shutdown for 14 days or longer, unless tested within the previous 6 months. The Unit 11HG005B and 1HG006B containment isolation valves are to be tested during any non-refueling outage with Unit 1 in cold shutdown for 14 days or longer, unless tested within the previous 6 months.
The overall performance of the Hydrogen Recombiner containment isolation valves has been satisfactory, based upon test results since the first refueling outage of each LaSalle unit.

five Type C tests.
Upon further investigation into the 2HG006A valve Type C test failures, it was discovered that after the L2R01 and L2R02 failures the leakage was reduced to an acceptable level as a result of machine lapping the seating surface of the valve. However, after machine lapping during L2R01, the 2HG006A valve failed its Type C test the following L2R02 outage. After machine lapping during L2R02, the 2HG006A valve failed its Type C test the following outage L2R03.
A different approach was taken to reduce the 2HG006A leakage following the failure during L2R03. T' a seating surface of the 2HG006A valve was lapped by hand, , en blue checked to verify ,
proper seating. Per discussions with members of the Mechanical Maintenance Department, this resulted in a smoother and flatter seating surface. As a result of these actions the 2HG006A valve passed its Type C test during the following L2R04 outage.
During the next Unit 2 refueling outage,12R05, the 2HG006A valve !
once again failed its Type C test. An evaluation is being conducted to determine long term corrective action required to resolve the recurring Type C test failures of the 2HG006A and 1HG005B containment isolation valves. ,

Water return and supply lines, respectively.
The overall performance of the Unit 1 and 2 Containment Chilled Water Outboard Isolation Valves has been satisfactory, with the exception of the 2VP053A valve.
Unit 1 has experienced two failures over a six outage period which included 24 individual tests. Only one Type C test failure occurred ihr the IVP053A/1VP114A valves (RIUPP). The second Type C test failure occurred for the IVP063A/1VP113A valves (RR/PP). The Unit 1 components have not experienced recurring failures.
The Unit 2 Containment Chilled Water Return Isolation Valve, 2VP053A, has failed its Type C test during all five refueling outages.
The valve was repaired after each failure, then successfully Local Leak Rate Tested prior to Unit startup. The repair actions consisted l of valve disassembly, cleaning, lapping of the disc and seating surface, frost and/or blue checking and reassembly. Although the ,

A Problem Identification Form (PIF) has k:\nlaslasalle\1lttfina.wpf92 I
ATTACHMENT F CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR TYPE C TEST FAILURES CONTRIBUTING TO "AS-FOUND" TYPE A TEST FAILURES been generated for root cause evaluation and a work request has been generated to perform more extensive repairs to 2VP053A during L2R06.
. A tabulation of.the. historical Local Leak Rate Test. performance of the above chilled water valves is included in Table 4.
E. Corrective Actions for the Local Leak Rate Test Program:
- 1. Development and implementation of an improved trending program to track penetration and valve leakage rate performance. The assembly of an automated plant-specific database will permit identifying valve type, service application, and manufacturer for leakage rate performance comparison of all Primary Containment Isolation Valves that are required to be Local Leak Rate Tested. This will help to determine any patterns or groups of valves that are exceptionally good performers with minimal or no leakage, or poor performers with ceveral cases of high leakage.
- 2. Alternative Leakage Test Program:
LaSalle will perform Type B and C tests on penetrations identified to be susceptible to excessive leakage in accordance with the above >
stated item 1. These Type B and C tests will be performed during any non-refueling outage with the unit in cold shutdown for 14 days or longer. These tests are in addition to the scope of Type B and C tests performed during refueling outages for as-found maximum path leakage.

- 3. Recommendation and implementation of test method improvement, or repair, modification, or replacement of problem Primary Containment Isolation valves identified in 1. above, based upon engineering evaluation.
The test method improvement will include a technical review of Type B and C test procedures associated with poorly performing components to verify the following:
9 Proper type of test for the penetration involved (for example, test direction from the Primary Containment outward versus between a pair ofisolation valves in the same penetration, or, from the outside in),
G Test boundary adequacy, and, 9 Other aspects of test methodology such as clarity and user friendliness.

JANUARY 1997 NOTE 1: Minimum path leakage for determining leakage penalties for an as-found Type A test would have been acceptable.
NOTE 2: Proposed Type A test Schedule NOTE 3: The L2R04 primary containment as-found Type A test result of 0.6155% per day exceeded the 0.75 L, criteria of 0.476% per day due to the Calculated Adjusted of 0.2632% per day and was therefore considered a failure. The maximum allowable containment leak rate (L ) of 0.635% per day was not exceeded. The Reactor Water Cleanup Suction penetration contributed 115.7 scfh to the total Calculated Adjusted of 159.765 scfh and accounted for 72.4% of the total. The sum of the Calculated Adjusted and the as-left Type A test, less the RWCU contribution, would have been 44.1 scfh, or 0.0726% per day.
This would have resulted in a satisfactory as-found Type A test of ;
0.4249% per day, which is below the 0.75 L, criteria of 0.476% per day.

l ATTACIIMENT H ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STATEMENT APPLICABILITY REVIEW .
Commonwealth Edison has evaluated the proposed amendment against the criteria for identification oflicmsing and regulatory actions requiring environmental assessment in accordance with 10 CFR 51.21. It has been determined that the '
. proposed changes meet the criteria for a categorical exclusion as provided under 10 CFR 51.22 (c)(9). This conclusion has been determined because the changes :
requested do not pose significant hazards consideration or do n'ot involve a significant increase in the amounts, and no significant changes in the types, of any '
effluents that may be released offsite. Additionally, this request does not involve a -
significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
