3/4.9.. REFliELING OPERATIONS l

BASES j 3/4.9.1 BORON CONCENTRATION The limitations on reactivity conditions during REFUELING ensure that:

(1) the reactor will remain subcritical during CORE ALTERATIONS, and (2) a uniform boron concentration is maintained for reactivity control in the water ,

1 volume having direct access to the reactor vessel. The locking closed of the '

required valves, except valves 1208-U4-176 and 1208-U4-177 for short periods ,

of time to maintain chemistry control, during refueling operations precludes the possibility of uncontrolled boron dilution of the filled portions of the l Reactor Coolant System. These actions prevent flow to the RCS of unborated t water in excess of that analyzed. These limitations are consistent with the [

initial conditions assumed for the Boron Dilution Accident in the safety  ;

analysis. The Boron concentration value of 2000 ppm or greater ensures a K,ff of 0.95 or less and includes a conservative allowance for calculational .

uncertainties of 100 ppm of boron.

3/4.9.2 INSTRUMENTATION t

The OPERABILITY of the Source Range Neutron Flux Monitors ensures that i redundant monitoring capability is available to detect changes in the reactivity condition of the core.

3/4.9.3 DECAY TIME The minimum requirement for reactor suberiticality prior to movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the reactor vessel ensures that sufficient time has elapsed to allow the radioactive decay of the short-lived fission products. This decay time is consistent with the assumptions used in the  ;

safety analyses.

3/4.9.4 CONTAINMENT BUILDING PENETRATIONS [p The requirements on containment building enetration closure and OPERABILITY o  ;

ensure that a release of radioactive material wHMn containment will be mWNQ4T.

rect + ted h m la= bge to th; : M re ment. The OPERABILITY and closure ,

restrictions are sufficient to restrict radioactive material release from a fuel element rupture based upon the lack of containment pressurization  ;

potential while in the REFUELING MODE. Ic,,7 g [

3/4.9.5 COMMUNICATIONS The requirement for communications capability ensures that refueling c station personnel can be promptly informed of significant changes in the facility status or core reactivity conditions during CORE ALTERATIONS.

V0GTLE UNITS - 1 & 2 B 3/4 9-1 Amendment No. 28 (Unit 1)

Amendment No. 9 (Unit 2)

INSERT B Item b of this LCO includes requirements for both the emergency airlock and the personnel airlock. The emergency airlock is required to be isolated by at least one airlock door at all times when Specification 3.9.4 is applicable.

The personnel airlock is required by Item b of this LCO to be isolable by at least one airlock door. Both containment personnel airlock doors may be open during movement ofirradiated fuel in the containment and during core alterations provided one airlock door is isolable. The personnel airlock is isolable when the following criteria are satisfied:

1. one personnel airlock door is OPERABLE,
2. at least 23 feet of water shall be maintained over the top of the reactor vessel flange in accordance with Specification 3.9.10.1,
3. a designated individual is available to close the door.

OPERABILITY of a containment personnel airlock door requires that the door seal protectors are easily removed, that no cables or hoses are being run through the airlock, and that the airlock door is capable of being quickly closed. The requirement that the plant maintain 23 feet of water above the reactor vessel flange ensures there is sufficient time to close the personnel airlock following a loss of shutdown cooling before boiling occurs. This requirement for the personnel airlock may be satisfied by maintaining at least one airlock door closed.
