1 ProDosed Fire Protection Amendment to Technical SDecifications Narrative:
Pursuant to Boston Edison's commitment to provide Technical Specification Amendments on Sections 3/4.12, we have submitted the following:
Title Submittal Date Section December 28, 1983 3/4.12A Fire Detection Instrumentation November 16, 1983 3/4.128 Fire Water Supply System November 16, 1983 3/4.12C Spray and/or Sprinkler System November 16, 1983 3/4.120 Fire Hose Stations October 13, 1983 3/4.12E Gaseous Suppression System Fire Barrier System September 12, 1983 3/4.12F July 11, 1983 3/4.12G Alternate Shutdown Panels The purpose of the above submittals was to provide updated Technical Specifications which would reflect changes to the plant made to PNPS in accordance with fire protection requirements. The preparation and review of the proposal segments suggested refinements, which we have incorporated into this submiltal. The refinements are identified by a parallel line with an adjacent & ; the changes which were transmitted in prior submittals are identified by a parallel line. For reviewing convenience, Attachment A contains the Fire Protartion section, while Attachment B contains other sections which are aft..: d by the relocation of Alternate Shutdown Panels into a separate section.
Proposed Chance (Refinements)
The following describe changes from the past submittals and are contained in Attachment A:
- The Table of Contents, page ii is changed to reflect 'ew titles and l
l pagination under the rubrick of Fire Protection.
i
- Action c of Section 3.12A is added, which states:
For inoperable fire detectors controlling fire suppression systems, see the respective fire suppression system section, i.e. Section 3.12C for water suppression systems or 3.12E for gaseous suppression systems.
This is added to ensure that the appropriate LCO is followed for fire detectors which are part of a suppression system rather than of the detection system.
o
- -Section 4.12A has been_ changed to read "...in accordance with the applicable NFPA 72A or 720 codes...". This change is made to clarify.that Table 3.12-1 contains instruments reflecting either NFPA'72A or 720; this
'is a reminder that the particular instrument being surveilled should be tested according to the code appropriate to 'it.

- Action b.3 of Section 3.128 is deleted. This change is made because 3.12.B.b addresses reporting which would result f rom a situation that is less than the minimum discussed in Action 3.12.B.a. Therefore 3.12.B.b.3 is redundant and unnecessary.
- The "or" associated with Actions a and b of Section 3.12.c are removed.
Instead, 3.12.C.a states ". . .except as specified in 3.12.C.b and
, 3.12.c.c." This change is made for clarity, and for consistency with
' other PNPS technical specification wording.
- Action d of' Section 3.12C is added, which ' states:
Restore the system to OPERABLE status within 14 days or prepare and
< submit a report to the Commission within the next 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause of inoperability and the plans for restoring the system to OPERABLE status.
This section currently exists in Technical Specifications as Action b. It was inadvertently left out when the November 16~, 1983 submittal was made.
Action c of 3.12C has "...an equivalent water supply" simplified to
" water".
- The EXCEPTION notes associated with Sections 3.12C and 3.12F currently -
- allow an hourly fire watch patrol in place of a continuous fire watch patrol when the subject fire protection equipment is located in a designated "HIGH RADIATION AREA". This EXCEPTION will be expanded to include areas designated as " AIRBORNE RADI0 ACTIVITY AREA".
This' change is proposed to aid in Boston Edison's effort to minimize personnel radiation exposure consistent with the safe operation of Pilgrim.
f
- Table 3.12-2, associated with Section 3.120, Fire Hose Stations, was reviewed and the following 19 stations were deleted:

Fire' Hose Stations are listed Technical Specifications because they provide either the primary or backup fire' suppression capability for a safety related. fire area. Our review of proposed Table 3.12-2 identified that the above nineteen: hose stations can be deleted without compromising the criteria for inclusion.
Existing Section 3/4.120 deals with the CO2 System.
1 In our submittal of October 13, 1983 we proposed Section 3/4.12E, which rerlected our planned substitution of a Halon 1301 system in the Cable Spreading Room (CSR).
The CO2 hose stations associated with the switchgear rooms of Elevation 23' and 37' currently referenced in 3/4.120 were replaced with waterhose 4 stations. This change was reflected in our proposal of November 11, 1983 4 werein Table 3.12-2 incorporated the two new stations.
We intended, after testing the Halon system, to provide the appropriate surveillance parameters. However, the dump test, conducted by the system
< vendor on December 15, 1983, failed to meet the specified criteria.
The vendor and we are in the process of resolving this, but resolution will not be in time to allow us to put this system in Technical Specifications.
. We propose, therefore,'to continue with our current CO2 specification modified as follows: (1)' Section 3/4.12D will become 3/4.12E, as proposed in October,1983. This is to ease changing 'it once the Halon 1301 system is made operational. (2) Reference to CO2 hose stations for the 37' elevation switchgear room and the 23' elevation switchgear room will be removed. As stated before, these have been replaced with water stations incorporated into proposed Table 3.12-2.
The Halon system will be the subject of a separate submittal when the system meets our test criteria.
- lThe following statement.is added to Section-4.12F to clarify which barriers are of concern:
Surveillance requirements for penetrations in fire barriers described in~ specification 3.12.F are as follows:

,_y,. - 4 4.-m.,...-.c. . . . _ . .
a - -~ ._ , . . . - - . --
l a
Reason for Change These changes are being made to reflect current plant designs and configurations which have been made over the years at PNPS in accordance with fire protection requirements.
Safety Considerations These changes do not present an unreviewed safety question as defined in
-10CFR50.59. They have been reviewed and approved by the Operations Review Committee and reviewed by the Nuclear Safety Review and Audit Committee.
Sionificant Hazards Consideration ~
The NRC has provided guidance concerning the' application of standards for ,
determining whether license amendments involve significant hazards considerations by providing certain examples (48 FR 14870). One example of an amendment.that is considered not likely to involve a significant hazards consideration is "...(11)_A change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the technical-specifications: for example a more stringent surveillance requirement..."
Proposed technical specifications of this type are those described above that i
add restrictions'to address plant design changes or conformance to NFPA standards.
j= Those proposed changes that are deemed desirable, but do not add new restrictions, are examples of "...(vi) A change which either may result in
< some increase to the probability or consequences of a previously-analyzed accident or may reduce in some way a safety margin, but where the results of the change are clearly within all acceptable criteria..."
Based on this guidance it has been determined that the amendment request f involves no_significant hazards consideration. Under.the NRC's regulations in 10CFR50.92,- this means that operation of the' Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a-significant increase:in the probability or consequences of an accident previously-evaluated; _or'(2) create the possibility of a new or. dif ferent kind of U accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
i Schedule of Chance This~ amendment will be effective upon receipt of approval from NRC.

1 3/4.12A FIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION i
OPERABILITY of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires. This 1
capability is required in order to detect and locate fires in their early stages. Prompt detection of the fires will reduce the potential for damage to safety related equipment and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.
In the event that a' portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, increasing the frequency of fire watch patrols in the affected areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable
,i instrumentation is returned to operability.
3/4.128. C. D. E FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire
'r suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in any portion of the facility where safety related equipment is located. The fire suppression system consists of the water system, spray and/or sprinklers, CO 2 and fire . hose stations.
The collective capability of the fire suppression systems is adequate to minimize potential damage to safety related equipment and is a major element in the facility fire protection program.
- In the event that portions of the fire suppression system are inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.
In the event that portions of the fire suppression water system become inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.
In the event that the fire suppression water system becomes inoperable, immediate corrective measures must be taken since this system provides the major . fire suppression capability of the plant. The requirement for a twenty-four hour report to the Commission provides for prompt evaluation of the acceptability of the corrective measures to provide adequate fire suppression capability for the continued protection of the nuclear plant.
