l 1.0 DEFINITIO.NR The succeeding frequently used terms are explicitly defined so that a uniform interpretation of the specifications may be achieved.

A. Safety Limit - The safety limits are limits below which the reasonable maintenance o' the cladding and primary systems are assured. Exceeding such a limit is cause for unit shutdown and review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission before resumption of unit i

operation. Operation beyond such a limit may not in itself result in serious consequences but it indicates an operational deficiency subject to regulatory review.

B. Limitina Safety System Settino (LSSS) - The limiting safety system settings are settings on instrumentation which initiate the automatic protective action at a level such that the safety limits will not be exceeded. The region between the safety limit and these settings represent margin with normal operation lying below these settings. The margin has been established so that with proper operation of the instrumentation the safety limits will never be exceeded.

C. Limitina Conditions for Ooeration (LCO) - The limiting conditions for operation specify the minimum acceptable levels of system performance necessary to assure safe startup and operation of the facility. When these conditions are met, the plant can be operated safely and abnormal situations can be safely controlled.

D. Core Ooeratina Limits Reoort The CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT is a reload-cycle specific document, its supplements and revisions, that provides core operating limits for the current operating reload cycle.

These cycle specific core operating limits shall be determined for each reload cycle in l accordance with Specification 6.9.A.4. Plant operation within these operating limits is addressed in individual specifications.

E. Ooerable - Ooerability A system, subsystem, train, component or device shall be Operable or have Operability when it is capable of performing its specified function (s), implicit in this definition shall be the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal or emergency l electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing their related support function (s).

F. Operatina - Operating means that a system or component is performing its intended functions in its required manner.

The test frequencies are adequate to detect equipment deterioration prior to significant defects, but the tests are not frequent enough to load the filters or adsorbers, thus reducing their reserve capacity too quickly.

The filter testing is performed pursuant to appropriate procedures reviewed and approved by the Operations Review Committee pursuant to Section 6 of these Technical Specifications. The in-place testing of charcoal filters is perfonned by injecting a halogenated hydrocarbon intc, the system upstream of the charcoal adsorbers. Measurements of the concentration upstream and downstream are made. The ratio of the inlet and outlet concentrations gives an overall indication of the leak tightness of the system. A similar procedure substituting dioctyi phthalate for halogenated hydrocarbon is used to test the HEPA filters.

Air flow through the filters and charcoal adsorbers for 15 minutes each month assures operability of the system. Since the system heaters are automatically controlled, the air flowing through the filters and adsorbers will be 570% relative humidity and will have the desired drying effect.

If one train of the system is found to be inoperable, there is no immediate threat to the control room, and l

reactor operation or fue handling may continue for a limited period of time while repairs are being made.

In the event one CRHEAF train is inoperable, the redundant system's active components will be tested within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . During refueling outages, if the inoperable train is not restored to operable status within the required completion time, refueling operations may continue provided the operable CRHEAF train is placed in the pressurization mode daily. This action ensures that the remaining train is operable, that no failures that would prevent actuation will occur, and that any active failure will be readily detected. An alternative is to suspend activities that present a potential for releasing radioactivity that might require isolation of the control room. If both trains of the CRHEAF system are inoperable, the reactor will be brought to a condition where the Control Room High Efficiency Air Filtration System is not required.

3/4.7 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS (Cont)

Tests ofimpregnated charcoal identical to that used in the filters indicate that a shelflife of five years leads to only minor decreases in methyl iodide removal efficiency. Hence, the frequency oflaboratory carbon sample analysis is adequate to demonstrate acceptability. Since adsorbers must be remcved to perform this analysis this frequency also muumizes the system out of service time as a result of surveillance testing. In addition, although the halogenated hydrocarbon testing is basically a leak test, the adsorbers have charcoal of known efficiency'and holding capacity for elemental iodine and/or methyl iodide, the testing also gives an indication of the relative efficiency of the installed system. The 31 day requirement for the ascertaining of test results ensures that the ability of the charcoal to perform its deigned function is demonstrated and known in a timely manner.

The required Standby Gas Treatment System flow rate is that flow, less than or equal to 4000 CFM which is needed to maintain the Reactor Building at a 0.25 inch of water negative pressure under calm wind conditions. This capability is adequately demonstrated during Secondary Contammen'. Leak Rate Testing performed pursuant to Technical Specification 4.7.C.I.c.

l The test frequencies are adequate to detect equipment deterioration prior to significant defects, but the tests are not frequent enough to load the filters or adsorbers, thus reducing their reserve capacity too quickly.

The filter testing is perfonned pursuant to appropriate procedures reviewed and approved by the .

i l Operations Review Committee pursuant to Section 6 of these Technical Specifications. The in-place testing of charcoal filters is performed by injecting a halogenated hydrocarbon into the system upstream of i the charcoal adsorbers. Measurements of the concentration upstream and downstream are made. The ratio ;

i- of the inlet and outlet concentrations gives an overall indication of the leak tightness of the system. A l similar procedure substituting dioctyl phthalate for halogenated hydrocarbon is used to test the HEPA filters. j Pressure drop tests across filter and adsorber banks are performed to detect plugging or leak paths though j the filter or adsorber media. Considering the relatively short times the fans will be run for test purposes, plugging is unlikely and the test interval of once per operating cycle is reasonable.

System drains and housing gasket doors are designed such that any leakage would be inleakage from the l Standby Gas Treatment System Room. This ensures that there will be no b3 pass of process air around the !

filters or adsorbers.

l Only one of the two Standby Gas Treatment Systems (SBGTS) is needed to maintain the secondary l containment at a 0.25 inch of water negative pressure upon contamment isolation. If one system is found to l be inoperable, there is no immediate threat to the containment system performance and reactor operation or l refueling activities may continue while repairs are being made. In the event one SBGTS is inoperable, the t redundant system's active components will be tested within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . 'Ihis substantiates the availability of the operable system and justifies continued reactor or refueling operations.

I During refueling outages, if the inoperable train is not restored to operable status within the required L ~ completion time, the operable train should immediately be placed in operation. His action ensures that the remaining train is operable, that no failures that could prevent automatic actuation have occurred, and that any other failure would be readily detected. An alternative is to suspend fuel movement, thus placing the plant in a condition that muumizes risk.

The region between the safety limit and these settings represent margin with normal operation lying below these settings. The l margin has been established so that with proper operation of the l instrumentation the safety limits will never be exceeded. l C. Limitine Conditions for Operation (LCO) - The' limiting conditions for j operation specify the minimum acceptable levels of system performance l necessary to assure safe startup and operation of the facility. When l these conditions are met, the plant can be operated safely and abnormal I situations can be safely controlled.

'3/4.7 D NTAINMENT SYSTEMS (Cont)

Tests of impregnated charcoal identical to that used in the filters indicate that a shelf life of five years leads to only minor decreases in methyl iodide removal efficiency. Hence, the frequency of laboratory carbon sample analysis

! is adequate to demonstrate acceptability. Since adsorbers must be removed to perform this analysis this frequency also minimizes the system out of service i

time as a result of surveillance testing. In addition, although the Palogenated hydrocarbon testing is basica"y a leak test, the adsorbers have charcoal of known efficiency and holding capacity for elemental iodine and/or i

j methyl iodide, the testing also gives an indication of the relative efficiency of the installed system. The 31 day requirement for the ascertaining of test l

results ensures that the ability of the charcoal to perform its designed '

i function is demonstrated and known in a timely manner.

l l

The required Standby Gas Treatment System flow rate is that flow, less than or l

i equal to 4000 CFM which is needed to maintain the Reactor Building at a 0.25 4

inch of water negative pressure under calm wind conditions. This capability is adequately demonstrated during Secondary Containment Leak Rate Testing performed pursuant to Technical Specification 4.7.C.1.c.

The test frequencies are adequate to detect equipment deterioration prior to significant defects, Ne the tests are not frequent enough to load the filters or adsorbers, thus rodering their reserve capacity too quickly. The filter ,

testing is performed pursuant to appropriate procedures reviewed and approved l by the Operations Review Committee pursuant to Section 6 of these Technical l Specifications. The in place testing of charcoal filters is performed by i injecting a halogenated hydrocarbon into the system upstream of the charcoal l adsorbers. Measurements of the concentration upstream and downstream are made. The ratio of the inlet and outlet concentrations gives an overall indication of the leak tightness of the system. A similar procedure substituting dioctyl phthalate for halogenated hydrocarbon is med tc test the l HEPA filters.

Pressure drop tests across filter and adsorber banks are performed to detect Considering the plugging or leak paths though the filter or adsorber media. l relatively short times the fans will be run for test purposes, plugging is unlikely and the test interval of onu per operating cycle is reasonable.

System drains and housing gasket doors are designed such that any leakage would be inleakage from the Standby Gas Treatment System Room. This ensures that there will be no bypass of process air around the filters or adsorbers.

Only one of the two Standby Gas Treatment Systems (SBCTS) is needed to maintain the secondary containment at a 0.25 inch of water negative pressure upon containment inlation. If one system is found to be inoperable, there is no immediate threat to the containment system performance and reactor operation or refueling activities may continue while repairs are being made.

In the event one SBGTS is inoperable, the redundant system's active components will be tested within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . This substantiates the availability of s. the operable system and justifies continued reactor or refueling operati

$ B.2 Control Room Hirh Efficiency Air Filtration System (Cont) l The test frequencies are adequate to detect equipment deterioration prior to significant defects, but the tests are not frequent enough to load the filters or adsorbers, thus reducing their reserve capacity too quickly. The filter testing is performed pursuant to appropriate procedures reviewed and approved l by the Operations Review Committee pursuant to Section 6 of these Technical l

Specifications. The in place testing of charcoal filters is performed 'oy l

injecting a halogenated hydrocarbon into the system upstream of the charcoal ,

! adsorbers. Measurements of the concentration upstream and downstream are l j

made. The ratio of the inlet and outlet concentrations gives an overall l j indication of the leak tightness of the system. A similar procedure substituting dioctyl phthalate for halogenated hydrocarbon is used to test the HEPA filters.

1 Air flow through the filters and charcoal adsorbers for 15 minutes each month l assures operability of the system. Sines the system heaters are automatically controlled, the air flowing through the filters and adsorbers will be s 70s

relative humidity and will have the desired drying effect.

If one train of the system is found to be inoperable, there is no immediate threat to the control room, and reactor operation or fuel handling may continue for a limited period of time while repairs are being made. In the '

event one CRHEAF train _is ino_perable, the redundant system's active components will be tested within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months .T If both trains of the CRHEAF system are inoperable, the reactor will be brought to a condition where the control Room High Efficiency Air Filtration System is not required.
