The Trip
'Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the core and Reactor Coolant System are prevented from exceeding their safety limits during normal operation and design basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist the Engi-neered Safety Features Actuation System in mitigating the consequences of accidents.
The Setpoint for a Reactor Trip System or interlock function is considered to be adjusted consistent with the nominal value when the "as measured" Setpoint is within the band allowed for calibration accuracy and instrument drift.
To accommodate the instrument drift assumed to occur between operational tests and the accuracy to which Setpoints can be measured and calibrated.
Allowable Values for the Reactor Trip Setpoints have been specified in Table 2.2-1.
Operation with Setpoints less conservative than the Trip Set-point but within the Allowable Value is acceptable since an allowance has been made in the safety analysis to accommodate this error.
An optional provision has been included for determining the OPERABILITY of a channel when its Trip Setpoint is found to exceed the Allowable Value.
The methodology of this option utilizes the "as measured" deviation from the specified calibration point for rack and sensor components in conjunction with a statistical combin-ation of the other uncertainties of the instrumentation to measure the process variable and the uncertainties in calibrating the instrumentation.
In Equa-tion 2.2-1, Z + R + 5 < TA, the interactive effects of the errors in the rack and the sensor, and t G "as measured" values of the errors are considered.
Z, as specified in Table 2.2-1, in percent span, is the statistical summation of errors assumed in the analysis excluding those associated with the sensor and rack drift and the accuracy of their measurement. TA or Total Allowance is the difference, in percent span, between the Trip Setpoint and the value used in the analysis for Reacter trip.
R or Rack Error is the "as measured" devia-tion, in percent span, for the affected channel from the specified Trip Set-point.
S or Sensor Error is either the "as measured" deviation of the sensor from its calibration point or the value specified in Table 2.2-1, in percent span, from the analysis assumptions.
Use of Equation 2.2-1 allows for a sensor drift factor, an increased rack drift factor, and provides a threshold value for REPORTABLE EVENTS.
The methodology to derive the Trip Setpoints is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels.
Inherent to the detemination of the Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and other instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of operating withir the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes.
Rack drift in excess of the Allowable Value exhibits the behavior that the rack has not met its allowance.
Being that there is a small statistical chance that this will happen, an infrequent excessive drift is expected.
Rack or sensor drift, in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and should warrant further investigation.

The various Reactor trip circuits automatically open the Reactor trip breakers whenever a condition monitored by the Reactor Trip system reaches a preset or calculated level. In addition to redundant channels and trains, the design approach provides a Reactor Trip System which monitors numerous system variables, therefore providing Trip System functional diversity. The functional capability at the specified trip setting is required for those anticipatory or diverse Reactor trips for which no direct credit was assumed in the safety analysis to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Trip system. The Reactor Trip System initiates a Turbine trip signal whenever Reactor trip is initiated. This prevents the reactivity insertion that would otherwise result from excessive Reactor Coolant System cooldown and thus avoids unnecessary I
actuation of the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System.

In each of the Power Range Neutron Flux channels there are two independent b1 stables, each with its own trip setting used for a High and Low Range trip setting. The Low Setpoint trip provides protection during suberitical and low power operations to mitigate the consequences of a power excursion beginning from low power,.and the High Setpoint trip providas protection during power operations to mitigate the consequences of a reactivity excursion from all power levels. The High Satpoint trip is reduced during three loop operation to a value consistent with the safety analysis.
The Low Setpoint trip may be manually blocked above P-10 (a power hvel of approximately 10lf, of RATED THERMAL POWER) and is automatically reinstated below the P-10 Setpoint.

Specifically, this trip complements the Power Range Neutron Flux High and Low trips to ensure that the criteria are met for all rod ejection accidents.

The Nominal Trip Setpoints are considered the Limiting Safety System Settings as identified in 10CFR50.36 and have been selected to ensure that the core and Reactor Coolant System are prevented from exceeding their safety limits during nomal operation and design basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System in mitigating the consequences of accidents.
The Setpoint for a Reactor Trip System or interlock function is considered to be consistent with the nominal ~value when the measured "as left" Setpoint is within the administrative 1y controlled (1) band identified as the calibration tolerance.
1 Maintenance and Test Equipment accuracy is administrative 1y controlled by plant procedures and is included in the plant uncertainty calculations as defined in WCAP-10991. Operability determinations are based on the use of Maintenance and Test Equipment that confoms with the accuracy used in the plant uncertainty calculation. Maintenance and Test Equipment should be consistent with the requirements of ANSI / ISA S1.1-1979 or the most accurate practicable.
The administratively controlled limit for operability of a device is detemined by device drift being less than the value required for the i
surveillance interval.
In the event the device exceeds the administratively controlled limit, operability of the device may be evaluated by other device performance characteristics, e.g., comparison to historical device drift data, j
calibration characteristics, response characteristics and short term drift characteristics.
A device (RTD, relay, transmitter, process rack module, etc.), whose "as found" value is in excess of the calibration tolerance, but within the operability criteria (administratively controlled limit), is considered operable but must be recalibrated such that the "as left" value is within the two sided (*) calibration tolerance.
Plant procedures set administrative limits ("as left" and "as found" criteria) to control the detemination of operability by setting minimum standards based on the methodology in WCAP-10991 and the uncertainty values included in the detemination of the Nominal Trip Setpoint, and allow the use of other device characteristics to evaluate operability. REPORTABLE EVENTS are identified when the minimum number of channels required to be operable are not met.
The methodology, as defined in WCAP-10991 to derive the Nominal Trip i
Setpoints, is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels.
Inherent in the detemination of the Nominal Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and other instrumentation utilized in these channels should be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Occasional drift in excess of the allowance may be detemined to be acceptable based on the other device perfomance characteristics.

REPORTABLE EVENTS are identified when the minimum number of channels required to be operable are not met. The methodology, as defined in WCAP-10991 to derive the Nominal Trip Setpoints, is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels. Inherent in the detemination of the Nominal Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and other instrumentation utilized in i i these channels should be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes.

The DPERABILITY of these systems is required to pruvide the overall / reliability, redundancy, and diversity assumed available in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions. The integrated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. The Surveillance Requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is maintained comparable to the original design standards. The periodic surveillance tests perfomed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability. The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Nominal Trip Setpoints specified in Table 3.3-4 are the nominal values at which the bistables are set , for each functional unit. The Nominal Trip Setpoints are considered the Limiting Safety System Settings as identified in 10CFR50.36 and have been selected to mitigate the consequences of accidents. A Setpoint is considered to be consistent with the nominal value when the measured "as left" Setpoint is within the administrative 1y controlled (t) band identified as the calibration tolerance. Maintenance and Test Equipment a: curacy is administrative 1y controlled by plant procedures and is included in the plant uncertainty calculations as defined in WCAP-10991. Operability deteminations are based on the use of Maintenance and Test Equipment that confoms with the accuracy used in the plant uncertainty calculation. Maintenance and Test Equipment should be consistent with the requirements of ANSI / ISA 51.1-1979 or the most accurate practicable. The administrative 1y controlled limit for operability of a device is detemined by device drift being less than the value required for the surveillance interval. In the event the device exceeds the administrative 1y controlled limit, operability of the device may be evaluated by other device performance characteristics, e.g., comparison to historical device drift data, calibration characteristics, response characteristics and short tem drift characteristics. A device (RTD, relay, transmitter, process rack module, etc.), whose "as found' value is in excess of the calibration tolerance, but within the operability criteria (administrative 1y controlled limit), is considered operable but must be recalibrated such that the 'as left" value is

2.2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEN SETTINGS ! BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS FIVE COLUMN FORMAT l The Reactor Trip Setpoint Limits specified in Table 2.2-1 are the nominal values at which the' Reactor trips are set for each functional unit. The Trip Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the core and Reactor Coolant System are prevented from exceeding their safety limits during normal operation and design basis anticipated operaticnal occurrences and to _ assist the Engi-neered Safety Features Actuation System in mitigating the consequences of accidents. The Setpoint for a Reactor Trip System or interlock function is considered to be adjusted consistent with the nominal value when the "as measured" Setpoint is within the band allowed for calibration accuracy and instrument drift. To accommodate the instrument drift assumed to occur between operational tests and the accuracy to which Setpoints can be measured and calibrated, Allowable Values for the Reactor Trip Setpoints have been specified in Table 2.2-1. Operation with Setpoints less conservative than the Trip Set-point but within the Allowable Value is acceptable sinco an allowance has been made in the safety analysis to accommodate this error. An optional provision has been included for determining the OPERABILITY of a channel when its Trip Setpoint is found to exceed the Allowable Value. The methodology of this option utilizes the "as measured" deviation from the specified calibration point for rack and sensor components in conjunction with a statistical combin-ation of the other uncertainties of the instrumentation to measure the process variable and the uncertainties in calibrating the instrumentation. In Equa-tion 2.2-1, Z + R + S 1 TA, the interactive effects of the errors in the rack and the sensor, and the "as measured" values of the errors are considered. I, as specified in Table 2.2-1, in percent span, is the statistical summation of errors assumed in the analysis excluding those associated with the sensor and rack drift and the accuracy of their measurement. TA or Total Allowance is the difference, in percent span, between the Trip Setpoint and the value used in the analysis for Reactor trip. R or Rack Error is the "as measured" devia-tion, in percent span, for the affected channel from the specified Trip Set-point. S or Sensor Error is either the "as measured" deviation of the sensor from its calibration point or the value specified in Table 2.2-1, in percent span, from the analysis assumptions. Use of Equation 2.2-1 allows for a sensor drift factor, an increased rack drift factor, and provides a threshold value for REPORTABLE EVENTS. The methodology to derive the Trip Setpoints is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels. Inherent to the determination of the Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and other instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Rack drift in excess of. the Allowable Value exhibits the behavior that the rack has not met its allowance. Being that there is a small statistical chance that this will happen, an infrequent excessive drift is expected. Rack or sensor drift, in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and should warrant further investigation.

'l LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEN SETTINGS 'l RASES I e REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued) i The various Reactor trip circuits automatically open the Reactor trip breakers whenever a condition monitored by the Reactor Trip System reaches a { preset or calculated level. In addition to redundant channels and trains, the j design approach provides a Reactor Trip System which monitors numerous system i variables, therefore providing Trip System functional diversity. The functional -capability at the specified trip setting is required for those anticipatory or i diverse Reactor trips for which no direct credit was assumed in the safety j analysis to enhance the overal1 ~ reliability of the Reactor Trip System. The Reactor Trip System initiates a Turbine trip signal whenever Reactor trip is j initiated. This prevents the reactivity insertion that would otherwise result l from excessive Reactor' Coolant System cooldown and thus avoids unnecessary 1 actuation of the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System. I ONE COLUMN FORMAT j The Reactor Trip Setpoints Limits specified in Table 2.2-1 are the nominal I values at which the reactor tri)s are set for each functional unit. The Nominal- -l Trip Setpoints are considered tie Limiting Safety System Settings as identified l in 10CFR50.36 and have been selected to ensure that the core and Reactor Coolant l System are prevented from exceeding their safety limits during normal operation i and design basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist the i Engineered Safety Features Actuation System in mitigating the consequences of ) accidents. The Setpoint for a Reactor Trip System or interlock function is j considered to be consistent with the nominal value when the measured "as left" Setpoint is within the administrative 1y controlled (t) band identified as the i calibration tolerance. l Maintenance and Test Equipment accuracy is administrative 1y. controlled by i plant procedures and is included in the plant uncertainty calculations as defined in WCAP-10991. Operability determinations are based on the use of i Maintenance and Test Equipment that conforms with the accuracy used in the plant _ uncertainty calculation. Maintenance and Test Equipment should be consistent with the requirements of ANSI /ISA 51.1-1979 or the most accurate practicable. The administrative 1y controlled limit for operability of a device is j determined by device drift being less than the value required for the surveillance interval. In the event the device exceeds the administrative 1y i controlled limit, operability of the device may be evaluated by other device performance characteristics, e.g., comparison to historical device drift data, calibration characteristics, response characteristics and short-term drift characteristics. A device (RTD, relay, transmitter, process rack module, etc.), whose "as-found" value is in excess of the calibration tolerance, but within the operability criteria (administrative 1y controlled limit), is considered operable but must be recalibrated such that the "as-left" value is within the two-sided (1) calibration tolerance. Plant procedures set administrative limits '("as-left" and "as-found" criteria) to control the determination of operability by setting minimum standards based on the methodology in WCAP 10991 and the uncertainty values included in the determination of the Nominal Trip Setpoint, MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 8 2-4 Amendment No. I WQ1 .. ~ ~ - -,

Inherent in the determination of the Nominal Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and other instrumentation utilized in these channels should be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Occasional drift in excess of the allowance may be determined to be acceptable based on the other device performance characteristics. r Device drift in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and would warrant further investigation.

The functional capability at the specified trip setting is required for those anticipatory or diverse reactor trips for which no direct credit was assumed in the safety analysis to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Trip System. The Reactor Trip System initiates a turbine trip signal whenever reactor trip is initiated.

Manual Reactor Trio The Reactor Trip System includes manual Reactor trip capability, i Power Ranoe. Neutron Flux In each of the Power Range Neutron Flux channels there are two independent i bistables, each with its own trip setting used for a High and Low Range trip i setting. The Low Setpoint trip provides protection during subcritical and low j power operations to mitigate the consequences of a power excursion beginning from low power, and the High Setpoint trip provides protection during power operations to mitigate the consequences of a reactivity excursion from all power levels. The High Setpoint trip is reduced during three loop operation to a value consistent with the safety analysis. The Low Setpoint trip may be manually blocked above P-10 (a power level of approximately 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER) and is automatically reinstated below the P-10 Setpoint.

3/4.3 INSTRINGENTATION BASES -3/4.3.1 and 3/4.3.2 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION and ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION FIVE COLUMN FORMAT l The OPERABILITY of the Reactor Trip System and the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System instrumentation and interlocks ensures that: (1) the associated ACTION and/or Reactor trip will be initiated when the parameter monitored by each channel or combination thereof reaches its Setpoint, (2) the .specified coincidence logic.is maintained, (3) sufficient redundancy is main-tained to permit a channel to be out-of-service for testing or maintenance, and (4) sufficient systas functional capatTity is available from diverse parameters. The OPERABILITY of these systems is retuired to provide the overall reliability, redundancy, and diversity assumed 1.vaila)1e in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accilent and transient conditions. The integrated operation of each of these systents is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. The Surveillance Requirements spect-fied for these systems ensure that the overall systca functional capability is maintained comparable to the original design standards. The periodic surveil- -I lance tests performed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability. The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation Trip Setpoints specified in Table 3.3-4 are the nominal values at which the bistables are set for each functional unit. A Setpoint is considered to be adjusted consistent with the nominal value when the "as measured" Setpoint is within the band allowed for calibration accuracy. To accommodate the instrument drift assumed to occur between operational tests and the accuracy to which Setpoints can be measured and calibrated, Allowable Values for the Setpoints have been specifW in Table 3.3-4. Opera-tion with Setpoints less conservative than the Trip setpoint but within the Allowable Value is acceptable since an allowance has been made in the safety j analysis to accommodate this error. An optional provision has been. included for determining the OPERABILITY of a channel when its Trip Setpoint is found to exceed the Allowable Value. The methodology of this option utilizes the "as measured" deviation from the specified calibration point for rack and sensor components in conjunction with a statistical combination of the other uncertainties of the instrumentation to measure the process variable and the uncertainties in calibrating the instrumentation. In Equation 3.3-1, Z + R S 1 TA, the interactive effects of the errors in the rack and the sensor, and the "as measured" values of the errors are considered. Z, as specified in Table 3.3-4, in percent span, is the statistical summation of errors assumed in the analysis excluding those associated with the sensor and rack drift and the accuracy of their measurement. TA or Total Allowance is the difference, in percent span, R or Rack Error is the "as measured" j deviation, in the percent span, for the affected channel from the specified Trip Setpoint. S or Sensor Error is either the "as measured" deviation of NILLSTONE - UNIT 3 8 3/4 3-1 Amendment No. 0421

The methodology to derive the Trip setpoints is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels. Inherent to the determination of the Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensor and rack instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of t operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Rack drift in excess of the Allowable Value exhibits-the behavior that the rack has not met its allowance. Being that there is a small statistical chance that this will happen, an infrequent excessive drift is expected. Rack or sensor drift; in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and should warrant further investigation. l ONE COLUMN FORMAT The OPERABILITY of the Reactor Trip System and the Engineered Safety 1 Features Actuation System instrumentation and interlocks ensures that: i (1) the associated action and/or Reactor trip will be. initiated when the i parameter monitors by each channel or combination thereof reaches its setpoint, (2) the specified coincidence logic is maintained, (3) sufficient I redundancy is maintained to permit a channel to be out of service for testing or maintenance, and (4) sufficient system functional capability is available i from diverse parameters. j The OPERABILITY of these systems is required to rovide the overall reliability, redundancy, and diversity assumed availab e in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions. The-integrated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. The Surveillance Requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional ] capability is maintained comparable to the original design standards. The 1 periodic surveillance tests performed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability. The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Nominal Trip Setpoints j specified in Table 3.3-4 are the nominal values at which the bistables are set i for each functional unit. The Nominal Trip Setpoints are considered the i Limiting Safety System Settings as identified in 10CFR50.36 and have been selected to mitigate the consequences of accidents. A Setpoint.is considered to be consistent with the nominal value when the measured "as left" Setpoint is within the administrative 1y controlled (i) band identified as the - calibration tolerance. Maintenance and Test Equipment accuracy is administrative 1y contro11edo by plant procedures and is included in the plant uncertainty calculations as defined in WCAP-10991.

The administrative 1y controlled limit for operability of a device is ) determined by device drift being less than the value required for the surveillance interval. In the event the device exceeds the administrative 1y s controlled limit, operability of the device may be evaluated by other device performance characteristics, e.g., comparison to historical device drift data, calibration characteristics, response characteristics, and short-term drift characteristics. A device (RTD, relay, transmitter, process rack module, j etc. ), whose "as found" value is in excess of the calibration tolerance, but within the operability criteria (administrative 1y controlled limit), is considered operable but must be recalibrated such that the "as left" value is within the two sided (1) calibration tolerance. Plant procedures set i administrative limits ("as left" and "as found" criteria) to control the determination of operability by setting minimum standards based on the methodology in WCAP-10991 and the uncertainty values included in the determination of the Nominal Trip Setpoint, and allow the use of other device characteristics to evaluate operability. REPORTABLE EVENTS are identified l when the minimum number of channels required to be operable are not met. l The methodology, as defined in WCAP-10991 to derive the Nominal Trip Setpoints, is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the ch&nnels. s Inherent in the determination of the Nominal Trip Setpoints are the magnii.ndes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and other instrumentation utilized in these channels should be capable of operating within the allowances of these i uncertainty magnitudes. Occasional drift in excess of the allowances may be i determined to be acceptable based on the other device performance i characteristics. Device drift in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and would warrant further investigation. The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the Reactor trip and the Engineered Safety Features actuation associated with each channel is completed within the time limit assumed in the safety analyses. The RTS and ESF response times are included in the Operating Procedure OP-3273 " Technical Requirements--Supplementary Technical Specifications." Any changes to the RTS and ESF response times shall be in accordance with Section 50.59 of 10CFR50 and approved by the Plant Operations Review Committee. No credit was taken in the analyses for those channels with response times indicated as not applicable. Response time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel test measurements provided that such tests demonstrate the total channel response time as defined. Sensor response time verification may be demonstrated b/ either: (1) in place, onsite, or offsite test measurements, or (2) util', zing replacement sensors with certified response time. Detector response times may be measured by the in situ on line noise analysis-response time degradation method described in the Westinghouse Topical Report, "The Use of /rocess Noise Measurements To Determine Response Characteristics of Protection Sensors in U.S. Plants," August 1983.

l i INSTRUNENTATION BASES i REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION and ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURFS ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System senses selected plant parameters and determines whether or not predetermined limits are being exceeded. If they are, the signals are combined into logic matrices sensitive to combina-tions indicative of various accidents, events, and transients. Once the required logic combination is completed, the system sends actuation signals to those Engineered Safety Features components whose aggregate function best serves the requirements of the condition. As an example, the following actions may be initiated by the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System to mitigate the consequences of a steam line break or loss-of-coolant accident: (1) Safety Injection pumps start and automatic valves position, (2) Reactor trip, (3) feed-water isolation, (4) startup of the emergency diesel generators, (S) quench spray pumps start and automatic valves position, (6) containment isolation, (7) steam line isolation, (8) Turbine trip, (9) auxiliary feedwater pumps start, (10) service water pumps start and automatic valves position, and (11) Control Room isolates. REACTOR TRIP BREAKERS This trip function applies to the reactor trip breakers (RTBs) exclusive of l individual trip mechanisms. The LC0 requires two operable trains of trip breakers. A trip breaker train consists of all trip breakers associated with a single RTS logic train that are racked in, closed, and capable of supplying power to the control rod drive (CRD) system. Thus, the train may consist of the main breaker, bypass breaker, or main breaker and bypass breaker, depending upon the system configuration. Two OPERABLE trains ensure no single random failure can disable the RTS trip capability. These trip functions must be OPERABLE in MODE 1 or.2 when the reactor is critical. In MODE 3, 4, or 5, these RTS trip functions must be OPERABLE when the RTBs or associated bypass breakers are closed, and the CRD system is capable of rod withdrawal.

.j l i U.S. Nuclear. Regulatory Commission. B15306/ Attachment 4/Page l' i July 26, 1995 u Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 3 Description of the Proposed Technical Specification Changes Introduction [ On June 7, 1995, - Millstone Unit No. 3 began operating on a nominal 24-month fuel cycle. To be consistent with the longer j fuel cycle, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) is proposing to modify the frequency of number of Surveillance Requirements existing in ' the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications. The proposed changes are described below: i 1. Section 2.2, Reactor Trio System Instrumentation Satooints l The current ' Table 2.2-1 lists the reactor trip system instrumentation and interlock. setpoint in a five column i format. NNECO proposes to replace the existing five column i format with one column format containing nominal trip setpoints for all functions except pressurizer pressure j (functional units 9 and 10) and steam generator water level l low-low-(functional unit 13). During the November 2,'1994, meeting with the NRC, NNECO indicated that the transmitters for the pressurizer pressure and steam generator water level will be replaced due to undesirable drift. However, due to the production and delivery problems of the-new transmitters, the transmitters for these functions could not be replaced during the.fifth refueling outage. To accommodate the 24-month fuel' cycle, the following actions are being taken. No drift. analysis or' evaluation will be performed to extend the frequency of the calibration for-- these existing transmitters. Therefore, the current format (five column approach) for these functional units will be preserved for one cycle. It is expected that NNECO. will-replace these transmitters during the sixth refueling outage. Appropriate changes to Technical Specifications will be submitted to the NRC in the future. The ACTION statements have been revised to reflect one column approach' for all the functional
- units, except for pressurizer pressure and steam generator water level.
The existing Notes 2 and 4 are no longer applicable since we are using a l one column approach; Notes 2 and 4 are deleted and the l remaining Note is renumbered. In addition, the proposed change decreases the reactor trip setpoint for the reactor l coolant pump (RCP) low shaft speed (underspeed trip setpoint) from 95.8 percent to 92.5 percent of rated speed. Bases Section 2.2.1 has been revised to include the information regarding'the operability determination for the r reactor trip system instrumentation.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 4/Page 3 July 26, 1995 It is noted that Amendment No. 116 revised the technical specifications to delete the power range Neutron Flux, High Negative Rate from Tables 2.2-1, 3.3-1, and 4.3-1 and to delete description associated Bases Section 2.0. The above surveillance requirements are noted by a notation 'R' which indicates that the surveillance is required to be performed once per 18 months. NNECO is proposing to extend this interval to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months) for all the functions noted above except for pressurizer pressure - low, pressurizer pressure - high, and steam generator water level - low-low. The definition of 'R' is included in Table 1.1 and is being revised under a separate technical specification (Refer to NNECO submittal dated May 1, 1995). Therefore, no changes are proposed to the above functions. For the functions pressurizer pressure - low, pressurizer pressure - high, and steam generator water level - low-low, the surveillance interval will remain at the current interval (i.e., 18 months). Therefore, the notation for the surveillance frequency for these functions is being revised from 'R' to "18 months" and NNECO will continue to perform these surveillances at the 18-month frequency. NNECO expects to install new transmitters for these three functions during the sixth refueling outage to accommodate the undesirable drift-related errors for the 24-month fuel cycle operation. NNECO will submit a license amendment request to the NRC to extend the frequency for these surveillances from once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months) in the future. 3. Section 4.3.1.2 and Section 4.3.2.2. Response Time Testina of the RTS and ESFAS Instrumentatio_D Surveillance Requirements 4.3.1.2 and
- 4. 3. 2. 2 require that the reactor trip system (RTS) response time of each RTS function and Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS) response time of each ESFAS function shall be demonstrated to be within the limit at least once per 18 months.
NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.3.1.2 and 4.3.2.2 from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The RTS and ESFAS instrumentation are required to be response time tested once every 18 months on a N-1 frequency where N is the total number of channels or trains in a system. This results in train-related equipment, such as pumps,
- valves, and the solid-state protection
- system, being tested once every 36 months.
Channel-related instrument loops are tested on a 1
'I l l- 'U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission l B15306/ Attachment 4/Page 4 l July 26, 1995 i once every 54-month or 72-month frequency, depending on the total number of instrument channels for..a given parameter. 1 The. proposed change will extend ~the N-1 testing frequency currently in technical specifications from once-per 18 months to once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The result will be that for train-related components and systems, the maximum test interval for an individual or system will be extended from once per l 36 months to once every 48 months. The result for 3land 4 { channel instrument systems will-be that instrument loops I currently tested every 72 months will have their test interval extended to once every 96 months. In addition, ) NNECO proposes to add specific statements - regarding the response time testing of the resistance temperature detectors that provide input to the overtemperature AT and overpower AT reactor trips. i 4. Section 3.3.2. ESFAS Instrumentation Table 3.3-4 lists the ESFAS instrumentation trip. setpoints in a five column format. NNECO proposes to replace' the existing five column format with one column format containing nominal trip setpoints for all functions except' pressurize pressure -Low (Functional Unit 1.d), steam generator water level - high-high (Functional Unit 5.b) and steam generator water level - low-low (Functional Unit 6.c). During the November 2, 1994, meeting with the NRC, NNECO indicated that the transmitters for the pressurizer pressure and steam generator water level will be replaced due to undesirable drift. However, due to production and' delivery problems of the new transmitters, the transmitters for these functions could not be replaced during the fifth refueling outage. To accommodate the 24 month fuel
- cycle, the following actions are being taken..
No drift -or evaluation will be performed to extend the frequency of the calibration of these transmitters. Therefore, the ' current. fornat (i.e.,, five column) for these functional units will be .i preserved for Cycle 6. It is expected that NNECO will replace these transmitters during the sixth refueling outage. Appropriate changes to technical specifications will be submitted to the NRC in the-future. Action i statements have been revised to reflect one column approach for all functions except for pressurizer pressure and steam generator water level. Bases Section 3/4.3.2 has been revised to include the i -information regarding the operability determination for the i ESFAS instrumentation.

Background
On June 7,
- 1995, Millstone Unit No. 3 began operating on a nominal 24-month fuel cycle.
To take advantage of this longer fuel cycle, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) is proposing to modify the frequency of a number of the Surveillance Requirements existing in the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications. This request modifies the frequency of Surveillance Requirements for the reactor trip system (RTS), the engineered safety features. actuation system (ESFAS), the remote shutdown monitoring and the accident monitoring instrumentation, process and area radiation monitoring and the reactor coolant system flow monitoring instrumentation which are performed on an 18-month basis. I. section 4.3.1.1, surveillance Recuirements for Trio Actuatina Devices, Analoa ODerational Devices, Emercency Bus Voltmeter Safety Assessment The solid-state protection system (SSPS) provides the mechanism by which periodic testing of the trip actuating device during power and shutdown are permitted without initiating a protective action. Surveillance Requirement 4.3.1.1, among other
- tests, requires that each RTS instrumentation channel and interlock and logic shall be demonstrated operable by a performance of a trip actuating device operational test (TADOT) for the RTS instrumentation listed in Table 4.3-1.
Table 1 provides the functional units that require a TADOT on an 18-month basis. NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of the TADOT of the instrumentation listed in Table 1 from at least once per 18-months to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). In addition, the frequencies of analog channel operational test of the reactor trip system interlocks Functional Unit 17 and channel calibration of emergency bus voltmeter (Table 4.3-6, item 16) are being extended from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). L
i l U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 2 July 26, 1995 The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, do not involve any physical changes to the plant, do not alter the way any structure, system, or component functions, and do not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. As such, the proposed change to the frequency of the TADOT, channel calibration and analog channel operational test of the instruments listed in Table 1 will not degrade the ability of each instrument to perform its intended function. The components listed in Table 1 are covered under Procedures SP 3447S, OP 3622.1, .2, .3, SP 3446F31, SP 3444B11. A review of the past test data did not indicate any evidence of differences in the data which could be attributed to time dependent drift-related surveillance test failures. In addition, the SSPS TADOT and analog channel operational tests were successful. There have been no corrective maintenance activities, other than those associated with these surveillances, involving these components. A probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant. On the basis of the above evaluation, there is a reasonable assurance that the frequency of the instruments listed in Table 1 can be extended from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). Siunificant Hazards Consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed changes in accordance with 10CFR50.92 and has concluded that the changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration (SHC). The basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR50.92(c) are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the changes would not: 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes e:: tend the frequency of the TADOT, channel calibration and analog channel operational tests for instruments listed in Table 1. The proposal would extend the frequency from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillance is conducted. In addition, the acceptance criterion for the surveillance is i . -- - N
.U. S. Nuclear Regulatory commission B15306/ Attachment-5/Page 3-July 26, 1995 unchanged. As such,. the. proposed - changes will. not - degrade the ability of the instruments listed in-Table 1 to perform their function. An evaluation of past 'surveillances, preventive maintenance records, and the frequency of the type of corrective maintenances concludes that decreasing ' the surveillance frequency will have.little impact on safety. Since the proposed. changes only affects the surveillance frequency, the proposed changes ' cannot affect the probability of any previously analyzed. accident. While the proposed changes can lengthen the intervals -between surveillances, the increase in intervals has been evaluated, and it is concluded that there is no significant impact on the reliability or availability of the instruments listed in Table 1,.and consequently, there is no impact on the consequences of any analyzed accident. 2. Create the possibility of a new 'or different -kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes 'to surveillance Requirement 4.3.1.1 do not modify the' design or operation of - any plant system. The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillance is conducted other than increasing the interval from 18 months to 24 months (nominal). The proposed changes 'do not introduce a new failure. mode. Therefore, the proposed changes do not - create the. possibility of. ~ a ; new or, -difforent kind of accident from' any.previously-analyzed. j 3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. 1 I Changing the frequency of TADOT, channel calibration,. analog channel operational tests for ' the instruments listed in Table 1 from'at least once per 18 months to once each refueling interval does not change the-basis i for frequency. The proposed changes do not alter the j intent or method by which the surveillance is conducted, do not involve any physical changes to the plant, do not alter the way any structure, system,-or component functions, and does not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. Further, the previous history of the instruments listed in Table 1 provides assurances that the changes will not affect the-reliability of these systems. Thus the proposed changes have no impact on the margin of safety.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 4 July 26, 1995. II. Section 4.3.3.5.2. Remote Instrumentation surveillance Safety Assessment Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.5.2 verifies the operability of each remote shutdown instrumentation transfer switch, power and control circuits including the actuated components at. least once per 18 months. NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.5.2 from at least once per 18 months to at least-once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The transfer switch panels allow the operators to change the control from the control room main control board to the auxiliary shutdown panel (ASP) when the plant operators must evacuate the control room for any reason. The devices listed in Table 3.3-4 of the Millstone Unit No. 3-Technical Specifications are controls required to safely shut down the plant from outside the control room. The operation of the components switched from the control room to the ASP are not time dependent. The transfer of control verifies that operability can be achieved from the ASP and confirms that the wiring and switches function as designed. i During shutdown, at least once per 18 months, all ASP controlled devices are transferred and tested using l Surveillance procedure SP 3673.4. Procedure SP 3673.4 is 'f followed to transfer control of only one device at a time after noting the open and closed position. The device is operated from the ASP and control is switched back to the control room. The device is operated again and restored to its initial position. The position is verified by an independent operator before the next device is tested. The proposed change to Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.5.2 does not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, does not involve any physical changes to the plant, does not alter the way.any structure,
- system, or component functions, and does not modify the a
manner in which the plant is operated. As such, the proposed change to the frequency of Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.5.2 will not degrade the ability of each remote shutdown transfer switch to transfer the control from the control room main board to the ASP. 1. A review of past surveillance results from Surveillance 4.3.3.5.2 indicates that there have been only two cases j where a transfer was not successful. The first case involved a valve (RCS*MV898) which failed to operate after transfer of control to the ASP. The second case involved a l x--
t U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission l B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 5 July 26, 1995 I ) valve (3RCS*MV8000A) which'would open from the ASP but would not close. Control was transferred back to the control room and the valve cycled normally. In both cases, the trouble was related to the wiring on the transfer switches which are General' Electric Type SB-9. Appropriate corrective actions were completed, and the devices were ratested successfully. An information memo was sent to all department heads to advise'of this problem with GE Type SB-9 & SB-1. NNECO considers these two cases as a random failure. A PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant. On the basis of the above evaluation, there is a reasonable assurance that the frequency of Surveillance-Requirement 4.3.3.5.2 can be extended from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). Significant Essards Consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed change in accordance with 10CFR50.92 and has concluded that the change does not involve an SHC. This basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR50. 92 (c) are not compromised. The proposed change does not involve an SHC because the change l would not: ) 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or j consequence of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed change to Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.5.2 extends the frequency for demonstrating the" operability of each remote shutdown instrumentation transfer switch by transferring control from the control room to the ASP. The proposal would extend the frequency from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The proposed change does not alter.the intent or method by which the surveillance is conducted. In addition, the acceptance criterion for each surveillance is unchanged. As such, the proposed change will not degrade the ability of each remote shutdown transfer switch to transfer the control from the control room main board to the ASP. An evaluation-of past surveillances, preventive maintenance records, and the frequency of the type of corrective maintenances concluded that decreasing the surveillance frequency will-have little impact on safety. Since the proposed change only affects the

While the proposed-change can lengthen tho' y ' intervals between surveillances, the increase' in intervals has been evaluated, and it is concluded-that there is no significant' impact on the reliability. or i availability of transfer switches.- consequently, there 1 is no impact on the consequences ofL any analyzed. accident. i 2.

The proposed change-1 does not introduce a new failure mode. Therefore,.the' i proposed change-does not create the possibility of a j new or different kind.of accident from any previously: l analyzed. j 3.

Section 4.3.1.2 and Section 4.3.2.2, ResDonse Time Testina of the Reactor TriD System and Encineered Safety Features Actuation system Instrumentation Safety Assessment Surveillance Requirements 4.3.1.2 and 4.3.2.2 require that the RTS and the ESFAS response time shall be demonstrated to i be within the limit at least once per 18 months. NNECO i proposes to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.3.1.2 and 4.3.2.2 from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). Response time testing of RTS and ESFAS equipment is done in several distinct parts using an overlap method.
Response
times can be broken down into several different elements. Those elements are typically: sensor response time, signal processing response time, actuation logic response time, and finally, component response time. Technical specifications allow response time testing to be done on an N-1 testing i frequency according to the number of channels or trains in a given function. As a result, a component that is part of a 4 channel. system would be required to be tested every 72 months, while a component that is part of a two-train system would be required to be tested every 36 months. Technical specifications also allow testing to be done with i the use of overlap testing. A typical instrument loop is shown in Figure 1. Individual components are tested, and the sum of individual response 4 times is determined to determine the total instrument loop / ) train response time. The total response time for a reactor trip function may include as many as 8 different time measurements. The response time for a ESFAS function could include as many as 25-30 components. Table 2 shows the breakdown of how often various functions and components required to be tested. In order to evaluate the effect of a six-month increase in testing frequency on plant safety, the response time of each individual component will need to be reviewed. In excess of 300 instruments, relays, and components are tested in the response time testing program. The review of the tested components has been broken down into five different subsets as follows:

Four Channel Instrumentation Systems The proposed change will extend the testing frequency of j four channel instrumentation systems such. as ' high neutron flux,. low pressurizer pressure, and steam generator water level from one channel every 18 months to one protection set once every 24 months. Millstone Unit No. 3 has four i protection sets of. reactor trip - and ESFAS instrumentation. j For four channel. systems, each protection set contains-one 1 channel. The and result,is that each protection set channel will be tested once every'96 months, up to a maximum of 120 months with a 25 percent extension.versusL the present ( maximum of once every 90 months. j A review of four channel ~ instrument response time' data for instrument ' loops which do.not contain RTDs for Millstone-j Unit No. ' 3 shows that the-longest reactor: trip and safety injection instrument, signal processing. equipment, and I actuation logic response times when determined on a worst case overlap basis consistently remain below 0.5 seconds for over 95% of all tests and in no case. have every exceeded - i 1.0 ceconds. This is to be compared against an analysis assumption of less than 2 seconds. The time between tests j has no effect on instrument response time. LThe interval between test has varied for particular instrument loops from l between 18 months and 86 months. The change in response time betwean instrument loops-test on a more. frequent basis j to those tests on a less frequent basis shows :no i distinguishable trend. As such it can be concluded that measured instrument response time does not show any significant change between testing. intervals. In-addition, all instrument loops which have response time testing requirements will continue to be. calibrated once every i 24 months and have analog operational channel checks j performed on a quarterly basis. The performance of
i U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 9 July 26, 1995 instrument calibrations and operational checks provides additional assurance that response time has not degraded. Instrument failure data shows that the response of electronic components does not typically slow down, but shows up as a failure. As such, continued performance of channel calibration and operational tests will provide assurance that the channel will remain operable. In addition, the data for response time tests on 7300 process instrumentation and SSPS is consistent with the information contained in WCAP-13595, " Feasibility Study for Elimination of
Response
Time
- Testing, December,
- 1992, Proprietary Class 2" which supports the elimination of response time testing those components completely.
On the basis of the above evaluation, the frequency of response time can be extended from 18 months to 24 months with a maximum of 30 months with a 25% extension without adversely affecting safety. i A PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant. Three Channel Instrumentation Systems The proposed che.nge will change the testing frequency of j three channel instrumentation systems such as pressurizer level and Reactor Coolant System (RCS) flow from one channel every 18 months to one protection set once every 24 months. I Millstone Unit No. 3 has four protection sets. Three channel instrument systems are distributed through the four protection sets such that each protection set will support some three channel loops, but no protection set will have all three channel instrument loops. The proposed change to the wording in the technical specifications will result in each three channel instrument loop being tested on the same frequency as four channel instrument loops. The instrumentation in three channel protection systems is identical to the instrumentation in four channel protection systems. Placing three channel instrument loops on the same testing frequency as four channel loops will not result in a degradation of performance as the equipment is the same. The evaluation provided for four channel systems supports the extension of three channel instrument loops to the same testing frequency. A PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant.
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 10 July 26,.1995 TRAIN-RELATED EQUIPNENT Actuation Logic Train-related equipment would include the SSPS logic
- cabinets, SSPS slave relays, emergency diesel generator diesel sequencer and relays, and actuated components such as reactor trip breakers, diesel generators,. circuit breakers, pumps, valves, and dampers.
Electronic components such as the load sequencer and SSPS would have their response time testing frequency extended from one train every 18 months to one train every 24 months. The not effect would be that each train of equipment would be tested once every 48 months versus the present once per 36 months. Past data for Millstone Unit No. 3 shows that the response time for electronic actuation logic plus instrument loop -response is consistently less than 0.5 seconds and have never exceeded 1 second. Safety analysis assumes 2 seconds for response time of instruments and actuation logic for functions that do not include RTDs. For those reactor trip functions which rely on pulse inputs such as Nuclear Instrument Overpower and RCP low speed total response has always been under 0.20 seconds in comparison to the 0.5 second limit. The history of response time measurements at Millstone Unit No. 3 supports an extension of the frequency of train-related. actuation logic to one train once per 24 months. Additionally, train-related components such as the emergency generator load sequencer and SSPS will continue to have other tests performed on a more frequent basis which will ensure operability. Technical specifications will continue to require performance of monthly actuation logic tests, quarterly. slave relay
- tests, and monthly reactor trip breaker tests.
Engineered safety features loading testing will also be performed on both trains every.24 months. The extension in the testing frequency only moves out the actual measurement frequency for the equipment. A 'PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant. CONPONENTS The extension of the response time testing frequency on actuated components will not effect the interval over which equipment is tested and timed. The extension of the surveillance interval will only effect the periodicity at which the total response tine summation is performed. Major-
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 11 July 26, 1995 components, such as pumps, valves, and diesel generators, are started and timed on a more frequent basis. Diesel generators are time tested once every six months. Pump and valves are tested in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 4.0.5. The time limits for the individual component operation time are less that the total response time limit. As timed components will continue to be tested on a more frequent basis, with time limits that are set conservatively with respect to overall response time, the extension in the response time will have no effect on the operation of the test components. A PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant. RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTORS RTD are currently response time tested every 18 months. The trend history of RTDs has shown that RTD response time changes over time. Millstone Unit No. 3 has also modified RTD bypass piping and thermowells in the past making it difficult to trend RTD performance. RTD response time is subject to the mechanical fit between the sensing element and the RTD casing and the RTD casing in the RCS thermowell. The mechanical fit between these components is subject to change with the heatup and cooldown of the RCS. RTD response time trend history does not appear to be consistent enough to justify an increase in response time test interval as the present time. An increase in the response time test interval can still be supported provided that the total number of RTD response time tests performed per test interval is increased. Currently, each RTD is response time tested every fourth test interval. This results in each RTD being tested every 72 months up to a maximum of 90 months when a 25% extension is considered. As past data does not support an extension of a potential maximum of 120 months, a combination of increased test interval with increased testing will be proposed. The result will be that rather than one RTD set being tested once every 18 months, two RTD sets will be tested every 24 months. This will result in the actual RTD test interval being reduced to a maximum of once every 60 months versus the present maximum of once every 90 months. As a result, the actual test frequency on RTDs increases, therefore, the change can be implemented safely. A PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant.
I U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 12 July 26, 1995 Sianificant Easards Consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed changes in accordance with 10CFR59.92 and has concluded that the changes do not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR59.92(c) are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the changes would not: 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.3.1.2 and 4.3.2.2 extend the frequency for demonstrating the response times for the RTS and ESFAS instrumentation to be within the limit from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted. In addition, the acceptance criterion for each response time testing. is unchanged. The increase ~in intervals has been evaluated, and it is concluded that there is no significant impact on the reliability or availability of these RTS or ESFAS instrumentation systems on any analyzed accident. . The RTS and ESFAS are monitoring and actuation systems which operate to shut down the reactor and/or to mitigate the consequences of an accident. The scope of evaluation performed gives reasonable assurance that there will not be an adverse-impact on the consequences of any previously analyzed accident. 2. Create the possibility of.a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.3.1.2 and 4.3.2.2 do not modify the design or operation of any plant system. The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, other than increasing the interval from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The proposed changes do not introduce a new failure mode. Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. e

Functional Units s.a and s.b and 6.e. l i Safety Assessment J Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 verifies the operability of ESFAS-instrumentation by performance of. various surveillances (e.g., -channel check, channel calibration, .l analog operational. tests, etc.) ~ t.various frequencies l a (e.g.,
- shift, monthly, 18 months, etc.)._
The channel i calibration of Functional Units 8.a, 8.b and 6.e of Table l 4.3-2, Loss.of. Power,;is currently performediat least once per 18 months. NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of the channel calibration for the Loss of Power 4 kV 3 undervoltage instrumentation (i.e.,. relays) from at least once per 18 months to'at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). 1 The 4160 volt,- Class 1E busses for Millstone Unit'No. 3.are designated 34C and 34D for the A and B trains, respectively. ' Each bus has'its own emergency diesel generator to_ provide power in the event of a loss of power or a voltage reduction. that is inadequate to run the loads that protect' tho' reactor. The voltage of. each bus is-. monitored by undervoltage relays that are set to ; detect a degraded ' voltLge condition (< 90%) and 'a loss of power (< 70% nominal). These relays ' are connected into a 2 out of 4 logic and time delayed at. 300 seconds with no accident signal or 8 seconds with an accident signal for the degraded voltage condition and < 2 seconds for the loss of power. a .i .a .. J
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 14 July 26, 1995 The proposed change to the frequency of the calibration for Functional Units 8.a and 8.b of Table 4.3-2 does not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, does not involve any physical changes to the plant, does not alter the way any structure, system, or component functions, and does not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. As such, the change to the frequency of the calibration of Functional Units 8.a and 8.b of Table 4.3-2 will not degrade the ability of the Loss of Power 4 kV undervoltage relays to perform their safety function. During the first surveillance to confirm the setpoints in March 1987, the values were found to be below the required 80 volts which equates to 2800 volts on the 4160 volt busses. Two Plant Incident Reports (PIRs) and one License Event Report (LER) were written describing this occurrence. LER 87-011-00 describes the event and method to set the relays higher to ensure the trip point is reached before going below the technical specification value of 2800 volts. The relays performed well and all acceptances were met until October 1992 when relay 27B on bus 34D had to be adjusted to achieve t:ae correct value > 80 volts. The latest event of failure to meet the acceptance criteria occurrad on September 29, 1993, when relays 27C and 27D on bus "J4C tripped low and were replaced because satisfactory adjustment could not be achieved. The major problem with meeting the tight tolerances for this surveillance is the nature of the undervoltage relay which is a General Electric Type NGV13B and is adjusted by bending the contacts to achieve the setpoint. Another contributing factor is the volt meters used are 0.5% accuracy which can i differ from one surveillance to the next by 1.2 volts and still within the limits at the secondary voltage of the potential transformers. Even at the 80 volt settings this represents 0.4 volts allowed above or below the design setpoint. This setting is not that critical and could achieve the same goal at 82 or even 85 volts provided it operates before technical specification limit is reached. Time is not a factor in the setting of these relays as much as the technique of adjustment. An increase to a maximum 30 months (i.e., 24 months + 25%) before testing is reasonable since five years passed before a relay was out of tolerance. As already mentioned, the tight tolerance combined with the meter accuracy can cause a 0.4 volt out of a desired 0.5 volt range for this setting. Deviations from test to test are clustered around the desired setpoint. At

Nuclear Regulatory Commission l B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 15 July 26, 1995-i sach surveillance the goal is to reset the relay as nearly j as possible to the-center of the desired range to preclude exceeding the limit at the next surveillance. This has been fairly successful and can be improved by making a change to -l the acceptance criteria. Even without a change, the longer interval between surveillances will have no impact on plant i safety. j A PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant. i Significant Essards Consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed change in accordance with l 10CFR50.92 and has concluded that the change does not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion is that the l three criteria of 10CFR50.92(c) are not compromised. The i proposed change does not involve an SHC because the change would not: i 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or i consequence of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed change to Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 ~ i extends the frequency for channel calibration of Functional Units 8.a, 8.b and 6.e of Table.4.3-2. The proposal would extend'the frequency from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). j The proposed change does not alter the intent or method by which the surveillance is conducted. In addition, the acceptance criterion.'for each surveillance. is unchanged. As such, the proposed' change will not degrade the ability of the Loss of Power 4 kV undervoltage relays to perform their safety function. An evaluation of past surveillances, preventive maintenance records, and the frequency of the type of l corrective maintenances concluded that decreasing the i surveillance frequency will have little impact on safety. Since the proposed change. only affects the j surveillance frequency, the proposed change cannot i affect the probability of any previously analyzed-accident.

The report-evaluates the results and identifies the recommended i technical-specification changes. Drift analysis and the l ' loop accuracy /setpoint calculations summary is provided j below. 4. Instrument Drift Analysis j i I A plant -specific instrument drift analysis -was completed for. the RTS/ESFAS (Reference 3). . Field I I calibration data for RTS/ESFAS components-currently calibrated once every 18 (plus 25% for a maximum of 22.5) months was evaluated to-assess'the acceptability of extending the component's calibration-interval to 24 l (plus 25% for a maximum of 30)- months. The instrument i drift evaluation (IDE) for each RTS/ESFAS is comprised i of two phases. Phase 1 compares -past instrument performance to theoretical. acceptance limits (vendor l drift allowance (VDA) or calibration tolerance (CT)]. Phase 2 predicts future drift by statistically '[ extrapolating ' the component's derived drift data to arrive at a value for maximum expected drift over a 30-month intervcl (MED30). Reference '3 provides a detailed description of the methodology and assumptions used to assess field calibration data and to predict maximum expected instrument drift. j f Past performance is indicated by instrument " drift", which is derived from field calibration data by taking the absolute value of the difference between the "as-1, Found" and "as-left" calibration values. j i Generally, if phase 1 of the IDE-shows that a component's derived drift. data falls within the VDA or j the CT (with the exception of rare occurrences), past 1 performance is considered acceptable. Deviations fron the VDA or the - CT are ~ explained on a case-by-case basis.- Phase 2 predicts future instrument performance over a maximum MED30'using data-obtained from phase 1. i The MED30 values bounds hardware performance with a.95% probability at a 95% confidence level (i.e., there is a 95% probability that 95% of all past, present and future calibration results will be less than the -maximum expected drift). Loop accuracy /setpoint

Loop Accuracy /setpoint calculations Enclosure _ 2 to Generic Letter-91-04 requires the-licensee to evaluate the effects: of an. increased calibration interval on instrument errors in order to confirm that drift will not result in instrument errors that exceed the assumptions of_the safety analysis. Loop accuracy calculations establish' total channel uncertainties by accounting for instrument inaccuracies consistent with industry methods described' in j Westinghouse Report WCAP 10991 Rev. 4 (Reference 2). .) The loop accuracy calculation for an instrument channel- ,i uses conservative values for-30 month calibration-uncertainties (vendor specified uncertainties or MED30, j) whichever is larger). If MED30 is the worst projected value of instrument drift but the value is unrealistic, vendor specified uncertainty values.may be used in the j calculation. The value calculated for MED30.is considered unrealistic or overly conservative if too few data points are available, resulting. in a high statistical multiplier. The loop accuracy /setpoint calculations must show that sufficient margin _ exists between the analytical limit and the existing field trip setting in order to be consistent with the j assumptions of the safety analysis. The calculations also verify whether technical specification setpoint limits provide sufficient margin over the analytical j limit to allow for instrument inaccuracies. t 1 The results of the loop accuracy setpoint calculation j hold the greatest weight.in-determining whether a calibration interval can be safely extended or not. If the loop accuracy /setpoint calculations indicate that sufficient margin exists and the'. assumptions of the I safety analysis are not-violated, reasonable assurance exists that the calibration interval may be extended. The -results of the drift analysis and the ' loop -l accuracy /setpoint calculations for the instruments used 'l in performing the functions required by the technical specifications'in question are discussed in References 1 2 and 3.

.j involve and physical changes'to the plant,.do not. alter the way.any structure, system, or component functions, and ' do - not' modify the manner. in, which the plant-is operational.. As such the proposed change to the ' frequency of the channel calibration of the. instruments listed in Tables 4.3-1 and'4.3-2 will not degrade the ability of each - instrument to perform its. intended functions. In addition,. this safety assessment addresses the e proposed request to change the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) low shaft speed trip set point (Table 2.2-1 Functional Unit 15) from 95.8% to 92.5% of rated. speed. ~ Electrical grid instabilities could cause significant changes in RCP speed in that grid frequency decay would-cause a decrease in RCP pump shaft' speed. The purpose'. of the proposed change to Functional Unit 15 of Table 2.2-1 is to lower the trip :setpoint on low RCP pump ~ shaft speed to allow additional time to' correct a grid ~ underfrequency condition. A premature plant trip during a grid underfrequency transient would tend to further destabilize the electrical grid. j Currently Millstone Unit No. 3 low shaft Speed RCP has a set point.of 95.8%. of rated
- speed, which is equivalent to an electrical system grid frequency of 57.5 Hz and it supports the safety analysis. limits of-55.2 Hz (i.e. 92% of rated speed).
The RCP low shaft speed present set point of 95.8% does not assure adequate coordination with grid load shed relays designed to -restore load / generation unbalance during some grid underfrequency events. In order to address this issue and to support a revised (new) set point of 92.5% of rated speed, which is the equivalent of grid 1 frequency of 55.5 Hz, the following evaluation is-performed. For the Functional Unit Table-4.3-1. item 15, low shaft speed RCP, instrumentation drift analysis and loop calculation / set points were performed.under the 24 month fuel cycle-Calibration-Extension program j (References 2 and 3). Based on the results of. the - 1 Calibration Extension program and current Safety analysis limits (92% of rated speed), it is concluded that there exist sufficient margin to accommodate the new nominal trip set point of 92.5% of rated speed. i

Significant Rasards consideration NNECO'has reviewed the proposed changes'to Table 2.2-1, ~ i Table 3.3-4,. Table .4.3-l' and Table 4.3-2 and has concluded that the-proposed-changes do not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion in that the-three criteria. of 10CFR50.92 (c) are.not compromised. The proposed changes. do not involve an SHC because the-changes would not: 1. Involve a-significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident .previously evaluated. The proposed changes to Tables 2. 2-1. and 3.3-4 simply involve changes from five column format to one column format. The RTS trip setpoints and ESFAS trip setpoints remain ' unchanged. The operability criteria has been moved-to surveillance-procedures. and Reference 2 has demonstrated that an adequate. margin' for. normal trip setpoints exist and. safety analysis limits-are preserved in all RTS/ESFAS functions. Changing the RCP low shaft speed trip setpoint will;not change the probability of occurrence of the event. The existing accident analysis (Millstone Unit No. 3 FSAR section 15.3.2) of. the-complete loss of forced reactor coolant flow remains valid for the proposed change. Therefore, .) the change to the RCP low shaft' speed trip 1 setpoint does not significantly increase the probability or consequences of any previously analyzed accident. The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements. 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.2.1 ~ extend the frequency for-channel calibration of 'the instruments listed in Tables 4.3-1 and 4.3-2. The' proposal would extend the frequency from at least once per.18-months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e.,; nominal 24. months). Extension of the calibration and surveillance test intervals in
- question, was ; evaluated and the results are documented in References 2 and 3.
These~ references document.that none of the proposed extensions of calibration and-surveillance test intervals degrade performance of

In' addition, the proposed changes to Tables.2.2-1 3.3-4, 4.3-1, and 4.3-2 do not alter the intent.or j method by which the surveillances are conducted. Therefore,'the scope of evaluation performed gives i reasonable assurance that there - will not be an l adverse impact on' the consequences or the probability of any previously analyzed accident. 2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of . accident from 'any accident. previously-J evaluated. j The existing. design basis adequately covers' the plant response with the proposed change to the RCP low shaft 1 speed trip setpoint. The change 'does not introduce new failure modes. { The proposed changes to Tables 2.2-1, 3.3-4, 4.3-1, and 4.3-2 do not modify the design or operation of any plant system. The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted,. other than-increasing the interval from at least once per 18 months to at least ' once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different. kind of accident-from any_ accident previously evaluated. 3. Involve and significant. reduction in a margin. of. safety. The proposed changes to. Tables '2.2-1 and 3.3-4 simply modify the existing five column format to a one column' format to show the RTS'and ESFAS trip setpoints for-- individual functions.- The operability criteria (allowable values) has been moved to the surveillance procedures.

Instrument Drift Analysis A-plant specific instrument drift. analysis was completed. for the AMI/RSM Instrumentation (Reference 2). Field calibration data for-AMI/ .RSM Instrumentation components currently' calibrated once every 18 (plus 25% for a maximum of 22.5) months was evaluated to assess the-acceptability of extending the component's calibration interval to 24- (plus 25%- for a maximum of 30) months. The instrument drift evaluation (IDE) for each AMI/RSM is comprised of - two phases. Phase 1 compares past' instrument performance to theoretical acceptance limits VDA or CT. Phase 2 predicts future drift by: statistically extrapolating the component's derived drift data to arrive-at-a value for maximum expected drift over a MED20. Reference'3 provides a detailed description of the methodology and assumptions used to assess field calibration data and to predict maximum expected instrument drift. Past performance is indicated by instrument " drift", which is derived from field calibration. data by taking the absolute value of the difference between-the "as-Found" and "as-left" calibration values. Generally, if phase 1 of the IDE shows that a component's derived drift data falls within the vendor drift allowance or the calibration tolerance (with the exception of rare occurrences), past. performance is considered acceptable.

The MED30 ? values. bounds hardware performance - with a. 95% probability at a 95%' confidence level (i.e., there is a-95% probability that - 95% of. all past, present and l ' future calibration. results will be less lthan the i maximum expected. drift).. . Loop accuracy /setpoint calculation are then updated-to include 30 month .j calibration uncertainties.' 5. Loon Accuraev/Setnoint calculations { . Enclosure 2 to Generic Letter 91-04 requires the licensee to evaluate the effects of an increased j calibration' interval' on instrument errors in order to confirm that drift will not result.in instrument errors j that exceed the assumptions of the safety. analysis. I Loop accuracy calculations establish' total channel uncertainties by accounting for instrument. inaccuracies j consistent with industry. methods described' in Westinghouse Report WCAP 14353 Rev. 4' (Reference 4). The loop accuracy. calculation for an instrument channel- ) uses conservative values for 30 month. calibration j uncertainties (vendor specified uncertainties or MED30, j whichever.is larger). If MED30 is the worst projected' value of instrument drift but the value.is unrealistic,. vendor specified uncertainty values may be used in the calculation. The value calcul'ated for MED30 is considered unrealistic' or overly conservative if too few data points are' available, resulting in a high statistical multiplier. The loop accuracy calculations i must show that sufficient margin exists between the required accuracy and the existing indicated errors in-inaccuracies. J The ressalts of the loop accuracy calculation hold the grantest weight in determining whether, a calibration intervalL can be safely. extended or not. If the-loop'. accuracy calculations indicate that sufficient margin l exists and the required accuracies are met, reasonable j assurance exists that tha calibration interval may be - l extended. i 3 The results of the drift analysis and the loop accuracy calculations for the instruments used in performing the functions required by the technical' specifications in question.are discussed' in References 2, 3, and 4. References 2, 3, and 4 provide a summary description of
T f i U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 36 July 26, 1995 i the methodology used to perform the drift analysis, and include loop accuracy calculations for the AMI/RSM instrumentation. i The results of the Millstone Unit No. 3 calibration extension program show that AMI/RSM instrumentation indication has adequate margin between the required accuracy and instrument uncertainties. A PRA review concluded that the proposed changes are not risk significant. 6. Drift Monitorina Proaram In accordance with Generic Letter 91-04, a program to l monitor future calibration data is established to access the effect a longer calibration interval has on instrument drift. The intent of the program is to confirm that actual future drift values are within projected limits. The program _ identifies instrumentation whose drift is not within the assumed values in the loop accuracy /setpoint calculations. The calibration procedure for each AMI/RSMI component or instrument channel receiving approval for extension i of its calibration interval is revise.d to specify an as-found acceptance criterion which reflects the l projected limit. A component showing as-found '1 conditions beyond the specified acceptance tolerance may indicate a faulty or degraded device. Data for i this instrument will be evaluated over a series of calibration intervals to more closely monitor instrument performance. Exceeding the as-found~ acceptance criteria, will result in immediate action for appropriate corrective action and channel operability. However, this does not necessarily result in a technical specification violation or a safety concern since the loop accuracy calculations show additional margin exist between the required accuracies and the instrument indication even after accounting for instrument loop inaccuracies resulting from the extended calibration intervals. B. Sionificant Hazards Consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed changes to Table 4.3-6, and Table 4.3-7 and has concluded that the proposed changes do not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion in that the three criteria of 10CFR50.92 (c)
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 37 July 26, 1995 are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the changes would not: j 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes to Tables 4.3-6, and 4.3-7 extend the frequency for channel calibration of the instruments listed in Tables 4.3-6 and 4.3-7. The proposal would extend the frequency from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). Extension of the calibration and surveillance test interval in question were evaluated and results are documented in References 2, 3, 4 and 5. These references document that none of the proposed extensions of calibration and surveillance test intervals degrade performance of the AMI and RSMI. Additionally, a comprehensive on-line surveillance program demonstrates the operability of the AMI and RSM instrumentation and readily detects potential instrument failures. In addition, the proposed changes to Tables 4.3-6, and 4.3-7 do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted. Therefore, the scope of evaluation performed gives reasonable assurance that there will not be an adverse impact on the consequences or the probability of any previously analyzed accident. 2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes to Tables 4.3-6, and 4.3-7 do not modify the design or operation of any plant system. The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the. surveillances are conducted, other than increasing the interval from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission -B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 39 July 26, 1995 VII. Surveillance Remuirements Related to the Process and Area Radiation Monitorina System Safety Assessment The Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specification surveillance Requirements for process and area radiation monitors pertaining to the Channel Calibration are currently performed at least once per 18 months (i.e., by a notation 'R' in Tables 4.3-2, 4.3-3, 4.3-7, 4.3-8.and 4.3-9). NNECO is proposing to extend this interval to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months) for only two instruments (i.e., Table 4.3-3, Functional Unit 1.a, containment Area Purge and Exhaust Isolation, and Table 4.3-7, Instrument 16, Containment Area High Range Radiation Monitor). The term 'R' is currently defined as once per 18 months in Table 1.1 of the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical specifications. The change to Table 1.1 (i.e., a change from 18 months to 24 months) has been proposed under a separate submittal (i.e., NNECO submittal dated May 1, 1995). Therefore, no changes are required for the above instruments. However, all other process and area radiation monitoring instrument listed in Tables 4.3-2, 4.3-3, 4.3-8 and 4.3-9 will remain at the 18-month frequency. Therefore, the term 'R,' noted in Tables 4.3-8, 4.3-9, 4.3-3 and 4.3-2, for the process and area radiation monitoring instrumentation will be revised to "18 months." This change is purely an administrative change and has no impact on the consequences or probability of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed change to Surveillance Requirements for the instruments listed in Tables 4.3-3 and 4.3-7 (i.e., Functional Unit 1.a and Instrument 16, respectively) does not alter the intent or method by which the surveillance is' conducted, does not involve any physical changes to the
- plant, does not alter the way any structure, system or component functions and does not modify in which the plant is operated.
As such, the proposed change.to the frequency of Surveillance Requirements for instruments-listed in j Table 1 will not degrade the ability of the plant's process ] and area radiation monitors to perform their functions. Surveillance Requirements for the subject process and area radiation monitors verify the calibration of the radiation monitors to ensure operability and accuracy once per 18 months. NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of the channel calibration of these monitors to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). A review of the past surveillance results indicate that these monitors were
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission .B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 40 July 26,.1995 calibrated to be within the. acceptance criteria and there was no linear. time dependent drift. regard to the radiation monitors. A review'of corrective maintenance records for these monitors indicates that there have been no operationally significant equipment failures for the previous four operating cycles. A Channel Check on a shift basis and an Analog Channel operation Test on a quarterly basis provide additional assurance of the operability of the containment. area purge and exhaust isolation valve radiation monitor (Table 4.3-3, Functional Unit 1.a). A Channel Check on monthly basis provides additional assurance of the operability of the Containment Area - High Range Radiation. Monitor (Table 4.3-7, Instrument 16). On the basis of the above evaluation, there is a reasonable assurance that the frequency of Surveillance Requirements for the process and area' radiation monitors can be extended from at least once per 18 months to at least 'once each refueling. A PRA review concluded that the change in risk due to this technical specification change is negligible. Significant Hazards Consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed change in accordance with 10CFR50.92 and has concluded that the changes do not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR50.92(c) are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the changes would not: 1. Involve a significant increase in the. probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements (the channel calibration) of the process and' radiation monitors extend the frequency for demonstrating the operability of the process and area radiation monitors. The proposal would extend the frequency.- from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). 1 The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted. In addition, the acceptance criterion for each surveillance is unchanged. As such, the proposed changes. will not degrade the ability of the process and area radiation monitors to perform their function.
i ,-U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 'B15306/ Attachment 5/Page'4l' July 26, 1995 1 An1 evaluation of the past surveillances, preventive maintenance records and the. frequency and type of-corrective maintenance concluded that decreasing the: s frequency will have:little. impact.on safety. A review of the past surveillance results indicates that these monitors were calibrated within the acceptance criteria ( and there was no linear time dependent drift regard _to the radiation monitors. Since the proposed' changes only affect the surveillance frequency, the proposed. changes can not affect the probability of any-previously analyzed accident. While, the proposed. changes can . lengthen-the interval between l surveillances, the increase in interval has been evaluated and it is concluded that there is-no significant impact on the availability of the radiation-monitors and consequently, there is no impact on the consequences of any analyzed accident.- 2. Create the possibility of 'a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The. proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements of the process and-. area radiation monitors do not modify the design or operation. of any plant system. In addition,.the proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillance are conducted other i than increasing the interval from 18 months to 24 months (nominal). The proposed ~' changes do not introduce a new failure mode. Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of ' accident from .any previously. analyzed. 1 l 3. Involve a significant reduction-in a margin of safety. 1 Changing the frequency of surveillance requirements for the process and area radiation monitor calibrations do. not change the basis for frequency. The proposed - changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, do not involve.any physical changes to the plant, do not alter the way any structure, system or component functions and ' do not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. Further, the previous history of the radiation monitors provides assurance that the changes will not affect the reliability of the radiation monitors. Thus the proposed changes have no impact on the margin of safety.

- 4. 2. 3.1. 4. and. 4. 2. 3. 2. 4 require:
that the'RCS flow instrumentation be calibrated once per 18 i months. NNECO proposes to extend. the. frequency-of Surveillance Requirements 4.2.3.1.4 and
- 4. 2. 3. 2. 4 - from at least once.per 18 months lto at least once each refueling interval
.(i.e., 24 months). Surveillance Procedure 'SP 3442G01 is used to perform the calibration and Table 3 lists the flow instruments covered under Surveillance Requirements 4.2.3.1.4 and 4.2.3.2.4. Eight tests were performed during the last four operating cycles with one failure in 1987.- l The five RCS flow transmitters. (3RCS*FT416, 425, 434, -444,. 445) -failed and required replacement during the: latter part. of operating cycle one. These transmitters were Rosemount, 9 Model 1153HD5C. A loss of oil'in the sensor module caused the transmitter-to fail to function.- properly. The transmitters failed non conservatively and the-failures were discovered during normal plant operations. The flow transmitters provide a trip function via the reactor trip i system. If two out of any three transmitters sense low j flow, a trip signal is initiated. The failures occurred { sporadically such that.two transmitters never ' failed simultaneously. Therefore, there was no adverse effect-on ~ plant operation. Northeast - Utilities notified the NRC of l this condition under part 21. This Rosemount transmitter failure resulted in issuance of a bulletin by the NRC (IE l Bulletin 90-01). In response to the bulletin,- NU developed j an enhanced monitoring program for Rosemount transmitters 1 installed at Millstone Unit No. 3. The purpose of this -i l program is to_ identify symptoms of potential loss of fill-oil for all. safety.related Rosemount 1153 and 1154 transmitters at Millstone Unit No. 3. 'This program ensures t that the RCS flow transmitters are checked-periodically to detect any failure. A transmitter failure similar to the Rosemount issue could impact the surveillance interval. increase (i.e., up to 24 months' nominal) because an J instrument. failure would only. be detected -when the transmitter is calibrated. This.is not the case because an ) transmitter failure would. be detected either during the monthly RCS flow surveillances or by the Rosemount enhanced monitoring program. Therefore,. the risk of a flow transmitter failure being undetected is small and will not ] impact the increase in the surveillance interval. Also, the q
l U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment S/Page 43 July 26, 1995 drift analysis for the RCS flow channels was incorporated into the overall RCS flow uncertainty and found to be within the bounds of trip setpoint analysis and the current safety analysis. Surveillance Requirements 4.2.3.1.5 and 4.2.3.1.6 require that the RCS flow be verified to be above the technical specification limit once per 18 months. NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.2.3.1.5 and 4.2.3.1.6 from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). Surveillance Procedure SP 31004 determines the RCS flow using a secondary side heat balance, the reactor coolant pump heat, chemical and volume control system losses, and the RCS hot and cold leg enthalpy to determine the flow. The calculated RCS flow is compared to the technical specification limit. Table 3 listo the component (i.e., instruments) covered by SP 31004. The RCS flow calibration includes the determination of reactor power. The instruments include steam pressure, feedwater
- pressure, feedwater temperature and feedwater flow.
The feedwater flow calorimetric uncertainty has been determined to be 1.8% for four loop operation and 2% for three loop operation. These values are below the design basis conditions of 1.9% for four loop operation and 2.1% for three loop operation. The total channel uncertainty for a 24 month nominal surveillance interval has been calculated to be 2.2% RCS flow for four loop operation and 2.5% for three loop operation. These values are lower than the design basis values of 2.4% for four loop operation and 2.8% for three loop operation as given in the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specification Sections 3.2.3.1 and 3.2.3.2. Based upon the
- above, the surveillance frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.2.3.1.5 and 4.2.3.2.5 can be extended to at least ence each refueling interval (i.e.,
nominal 24 months). Surveillance Requirements 4.2.3.1.6 and 4.2.3.2.6 require that 0.1% error be added to the uncertainty on the RCS flow measurement if the feedwater venturis have not been inspected or cleaned. There is a provision in Surveillance Procedure SP 31004 to increase the technical specification RCS flow by 0.1% if the venturis are not inspected. NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirement 4.2.3.1.6 and 4.2.3.2.6 from once per 18 months to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). The feedwater venturies were cleaned in each of the last four refueling outages. However, tests that' were performed in all refueling outages, an additional 0.1% error was added to the RCS flow for conservatism and even with this additional error, all the tests passed the acceptance criteria. It is
U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15306/ Attachment 5/Page 44 July 26, 1995 NNECO's experience that the venturi fouling reaches a maximum after approximately two to three months of plant operation. In addition, during down powers, the venturies can defoul (i.e., clean themselves) from the temperature transient in the feedwater system. Therefore, the venturi fouling will not be a concern or issue if the surveillance interval is increased to 24 months (nominal). A PRA review evaluated the number of failures, the root causes of the
- failures, and the subsequent corrective actions, and concluded that the increase in risk due to this technical specification change is negligible.
Bionificant Hazards consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed changes in accordance with 10CFR50.92 and has concluded that the changes do not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR50.92 (c) are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the changes would not: 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.2.3.1.4, 4.2.3.2.4 (RCS flow rate indicators), 4.2.3.1.5, 4.2.3.2.5 (RCS total flow rate) and 4.2.3.1.6, 4.2,.3.2.6 (a penalty of 0.1% to the RCS flow) extend the frequency of the channel calibration of the RCS flow rate indicators, RCS flow rate determination by precision heat balance method and cleaning of the feedwater venturies at least once per 18 months. The proposal would extend the frequency from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling (i.e., nominal 24 months). The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted. In addition, the acceptance criterion for each surveillance is unchanged. As such the proposed changes will not degrade ability of the RCS flow indicators to perform their function. The evaluation of the past surveillance results, and the enhanced surveillance program from Rosemount transmitters concluded that the decreasing frequency will have little impact on safety. A review of the past surveillance results indicate that these transmitters were calibrated within the acceptance criteria. There were some failures (i.e., Rosemount

However, an enhanced surveillancs. program is in. place to. ensure that the RCS flow transmitters are checked ~ periodically to. detect any failures. The risk of an RCS a flow - transmitter failure being undetected is small and will' not impact the increase in the surveillance interval.. Also, the drift analysis for the RCS flow channels was incorporated into the overall'RCS flow uncertainty-and found to be within the bounds of the current safety analysis. The feedwater - calorimetric uncertainty and the total channel uncertainty were lower than the design basis values. The feedwater venturis.were and. will be cleaned during every refueling. outage. LBy cleaning the venturis, the additional 0.1% for fouling was not required to be invoked. However, during the past RCS flow measurement tests, an additional 0.1% error was added to the RCS flow measurement for conservatism and even with this-. additional error, all-the test measurements passed the acceptance criteria. Since the proposed changes only affect.the surveillance frequency, the proposed changes can not affect the probability of any previously analyzed accident. While the proposed changes can lengthen the intervals-between surveillances, the increase in intervals has been-evaluated and it is concluded that there-is.no significant impact on the availability or reliability. of the RCS flow indicators-and the RCS flow transmitters and consequently, there is no impact on' the consequences of any analyzed accident. 2.
