PLANT SYSTEMS 3/4.7.7 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION LIMITING ColelTION FOR OPERATION i

3.7.7.1 Each sealed source containing radioactive material either in excess of 100 microcuries of beta and/or gama emitting material or 5 microcuries of alpha emitting material shall be free of 2 0.005 microcuries of removable contamination.

APPLICABILITY: AT ALL TIMES.

ACTION:

a.

Each sealed source with removable contamination in excess of the above limit shall be imediately withdrawn from use and:

1.

Either decontaminated and repaired, or 2.

Disposed of in accordance with Comission Regulations.

b.

The provisions of Specification 3.0.3 are not applicable.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.7.7.1.1 Test Reauirements - Each sealed source shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination by:

{

a.

The licensee, or b.

Other persons specifically authorized by the Comission or an Agreement State.

The test method shall have a detection sensitivity of at least 0.005 microcuries per test sample.

4.7.7.1.2 Test Frecuencies - Each category of sealed sources shall be tested at the frequencies described below.

a.

Sources in use (excludino startuo sources oreviousiv sub.iected to core flux) - At least once per six months for all sealed sources containing radioactive material:

MILLSTONE - UNIT 2 3/4 7-19 Amendment No. JM, 202 0206

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.7 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION The limitations on sealed source removable contamination ensure that the total body or individual organ irradiation does not exceed allowable limits in the event of ingestion or inhalation of the source material.

The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters,-is based on 10 CFR 70.39(a)(3) limits for plutonium.

Leakageofsourcesl excluded from the requirements of this specification represent less than one maximum permissible body burden for total body irradiation if the source material is inhaled or ingested.

3/4.7.8 SNUBBERS I

All snubbers are required OPERABLE to ensure that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads.

Snubbers excluded from this inspection program are those installed on nonsafety-related systems and then only if their failure or failure of the system on which they are installed would have no adverse effect on any safety-related system.

A list of individual snubbers with detailed information of snubber location and size and of system affected shall be available at the plant in accordance with Section 50.71(c) of 10 CFR Part 50.

The accessibility of each snubber shall be determined and approved by the Plant Operations Review Comittee.

The determination shall be based upon the existing radiation levels and the expected time to perform

  • a visual inspection in each snubber location as well as other factors associated with accessibility during plant operations (e.g., temperature, atmosphere, location, etc.), and the recomendations of Regulatory Guide 8.8 and 8.10.

The addition or deletion of any hydraulic or mechanic snubber shall be made in accordance with Section 50.59 of 10 CFR Part 50.

The visual inspection frequency is based upon maintaining a constant level of snubber protection to systems.

Therefore, the required inspection interval varies inversely with the observed snubber failures and is determined by the number of inoperable snubbers found during an inspection.

Inspections performed before that interval has elapsed may_ be used as a new reference point to determine the next inspection.

However, the results of such early inspections performed before the original required time interval has elapsed (nominal time less 25%) may not be used to lengthen the required inspection interval.

Any inspection whose results require a shorter inspection interval will override the previous schedule.
