I and 2, Technical Specifications (T S).
The requested changes would modify Technical Specification 3/4.3.1, Rtactor Trip System Instrumentation, limiting Conditions for Operation, Action Requirements, and Surveillance Requirements, including Associated Tables.
These changes provide consistency between the t.aits, to address various administrative discrepancies, and to ensure technical accuracy.
2.0 fulRLLQn A.
Renumberina of line items Renumbering Limiting Condition for Operation 3.3.1 and Surveillance Requirements 4,3.1.1, 4.3.1.2, 4.3.1.3 as 3.3.1.1, 4.3.1.1.1, 4.3.1.1.2, and 4.3.1.1.3 respectively, for Unit 2 enly, is to be consistent with Salem Unit I and to be more consistent with other specifications in the Salem Unit 2 Instrumentation Chapter, i
Renurrhering of 10 e items within a specification is an administrative i
change, f

lahlLLJ-j Modificjltigni 1.
FUNCTIONAL VNITS 7 and 8. Overtemperature AT and Overpower AT.
Remove all references to three loop operation.
Remove item title for four loop operation and align line items as required. (UNITS 1 AND 2)
The current Salem Accident Analysis does not support or permit three loop operation.
Tt's change removes all references to three and four loop operation.
This change removes technical specification items that are not approved for Salem.
This is an administrative change and the staff finds it acceptable.
2.
FUNCTIONAL UNITS 7 and 8, Ove-temperature AT and Overpower AT.
Chango applicable ACTION from 2 to 6. (UNIT 1 ONLY)
Action statements 2 and 6 arc identical except that Action 2 contains an additional suttart "c" that only applies to Power Range Nuclear Instrumenta;1cn. The change ensures the correct actions are addressed and are consistent with Salem Unit 2 and Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications.
The staff finds this change acceptable.
3.
FUNCTIONAL UNITS 16 and 17 Undervoltage -Reactor Coolant Pumps end Underfrequency - Reactor Coolant Pumps.
Change the MINIMUM CHANNELS OPERABLE requirement from 4 to 3.
(UNITS 1 AND 2)
Action 6 that 1:; applicable to this functional unit, allows for continued operation provided a failed channel is placed ir, the tripped condition within a given time period, and the Minimum Channels Operable requirement is one less than the Total Number of Channels.
Continued operation is not passible because the Minimum Channels Operable requirement is tne same as the Total Number of Channels.
By reducing the Minimum Channels Operable to one less than the Total Number of Channels and tripping the
'noperable channel, the safety function of the system has not been degraded, This change will allow continued operation with one channel inoperable and will bring the-technical specifications for this functional unit into conformance with the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications. The staff finds this change acceptable.
4.
FUNCTIONAL UNIT 18, Turbine Trip.
Add designators for line items:
(a.) Low Autostop 011 Pressure and (b.) Turbine Stop Valve Closure.
(UNIT 1 ONLY)
,e t
n The designators being added to the two line items are consistent with other references in Salerr Units 1 and 2 technical specifications and they ensure the functional Units are identiflod properly.
This is an adt.inistrative change and the staff tinds it acceptable.
5.
FUNCTIONAL UNIT 18b, Turbine Trip, Turbine Stop Valve Cicsure.
Change the MINIMUM CHANNE' S OPERABLE requirement from 4 to 3.
(UNil 2 ONLY)
Action 7 that is applicable to this functional unit, allows for continued operation provided a failed channel is placed in the tripped condition within a given time period, and the Minimum c
Channels Operable requirement is satisfied.
Continued operation is not mssible unless the Minimum Channels Operable requirement is at least one less than the Total Number of Channels.
This change will allow continued operation with one channel i* operable and bring the technical specifications for this fur,etional t ait into conformance
^
with the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications and the Salem J
Unit I technical specifications.
The staff finds this change acceptable.
6.
TABLE NOTA 110N **.
Delete Notation (UNITS 1 AND 2)
By deleting tne table notation **, this would remove the notation required for three loop operation.
The current Salem Accident Analysis does not support or permit three loop operation.
This change removes technical specification items that are not approved for Salem. The staff finds this change acceptable.
7.
ACTION 20. Add the word POWER after RATLD TliERMAL.
(UNITS 1 AND 2)
This change was appt.ved by amendments 133 and 112 dated June 8,1992, for Salem Units 1 and 2, respectively.
8.
ACTION 3.
Move entire Action to page 3/4 3-6.
(UNIT 1 ONLY)
Action 3 is listed at the end of the page with the associated subparts following on the next page, By moving the entire Action to page 3/4 3-6, this will minimize the potential of not reading the entire action.
This is an administrative cl.ange and the staff finds it acceptable.
9.
ACTION 3.
Add title ACTION 3 to the associated Action.

- exposure, The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (57 FR 24678). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
