ATTACHMENT B Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 Proposed Technical Specification Change Nos. 234 and 107 INCORPORATE ISTS DESIGN FEATURES A.

DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT REQUEST The proposed amendment would modify the technical specification (TS) design feature section to reflect those provided in the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS) of NUREG-1431 Revision 1.

B.

BACKGROUND The current design feature section contains information based on Revision 0 of NUEEG-0452.

The proposed amendment updates this section to contain information based on the latest version of the ISTS.

A previous submittal for Unit 2 dated April 29,

1996, proposes specific changes to Section 5.3.1, which if approved, will be integrated into these proposed changes.

C.

JUSTIFICATION 10 CFR 50.36 sets forth those categories of information required to be included in the TS.

The design features is one of those categories and the types of information to be included are those such as materials of construction and geometric arrangements, which, if altered or modified, would have a significant effect on safety and are not covered in other sections of the TS.

The ISTS were developed to specifically comply with these requirements and to provide a model for plants to use when developing or modifying the TS design feature section.

Much of the information contained in the current design feature section is redundant to information provided in various sections of the UFSAR and is not needed to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36.

The NRC issued a Final Policy Statement in 1993 which identified four criteria to be used in determining those requirements to be included in TS.

The information being removed from the TS design feature section does not fall within these four criteria.

Therefore, the design features can be modified to reflect the ISTS requirements without any loss of the current information or affecting the safety of the plant.

D.

SAFETY ANALYSIS The TS design feature section has been modified by incorporating the ISTS wording in our format and removing the information not specified in the ISTS.

Section 5.1 has been re-titled to Site Location and includes a text description of the site in place of reference to BV-1 Figures 5.1-1 through 5.1-6 and BV-2 Figures 5.1-1 through 5.1-4.

The site boundary, provided in Figure 5.1-1 for both units, is maintained in the offsite dose calculation manual (ODCM) Figure 5-1.

Changes to the ODCM are implemented in accordance with the provisions indicated in the administrative

ATTACHMENT B, continu d Prepoxd TOchnical Spzcification Cheng3 Nos. 234 and 107 Page 2 control section of the technical specifications.

Reference to Unit'l Figure 5.1-2 in Section 5.1.2 has been deleted because this figure was previously deleted by Amendment No.

121 since Figure 5.1-1 provides the site boundary for both gaseous and liquid effluents.

The exclusion area boundary, provided in Figure 5.1-3 for both units, is described in Unit 1 UFSAR Section 2.1.1 including UFSAR Figure 2.1-7 for Unit 1,

and in Unit 2 UFSAR Section 2.1.2.1 including Figure 2.1-2 for Unit 2.

The low population zone, provided in Figure 5.1-4 for both units, is described in Unit 1 UFSAR Section 2.1.2 for Unit 1 and in Unit 2 UFSAR Section 2.1.3.5 for Unit 2.

The gaseous and liquid release points provided in Unit 1 Figures 5.1-5 and 5.1-6 and Unit 2 Figure 5.1-2 are maintained in ODCM Figure 2.4-2 for the gaseous release points and Figure 1.4-1 for Unit 1 and Figure 1.4-2 for Unit 2

for the liquid release points.

The flood control information provided in Section 5.1.5 is addressed in Unit 1 UFSAR Section 2.3.3 and Unit 2 UFSAR Section 3.4.1.

Section 5.2, containment, has been removed since this information is provided in Unit 1 UFSAR Sections 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 5.2.4 and Table 14.3.3a and Unit 2 UFSAR Sections 3.8.1, 6.2.1, 6.2.4 and Table 6.2-3.

Section 5.3, Reactor Core,-has been renumbered to 5.2.

The text for Section 5.2.1, Fuel Assemblies, and 5.2.2, Control Rod Assemblies, remains unchanged for both units.

Section 5.4, Reactor Coolant System, has been removed since this information is provided in Unit 1 UFSAR Sections 4.1 and 4.2 and Unit 2 UFSAR Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4.

Section 5.5, Emergency Core Cooling Systems, has been removed; this information is provided in UFSAR Section 6.3 for both units.

Section 5.6, Fuel. Storage, has been renumbered to 5.3.

The text for renumbered Section 5.3.1, Criticality, has been replaced with Section 5.3.1.1 for the spent fuel storage racks and Section 5.3.1.2 for the new fuel storage racks like the ISTS.

Section 5.3.1.1 provides the spent fuel storage rack design criteria where item "a" limits fuel-assembly maximum enrichment to that specified in Specification 3.9.14.

This is different from the ISTS which lists a specific enrichment i

number in weight percent; however, this is intended to reduce the possibility of error since the enrichment limit is specified in only one location.

Item "b"

limits the K.gg to 1 0.95 when the storage racks are flooded with unborated water and includes reference to the applicable UFSAR section where the uncertainties are described.

Item "c" specifies the spent fuel storage rack cell center to center distance separation; this is consistent with the current criteria and ensures a change to the rack design i

cannot be made without prior NRC approval.

Item "d"

refers the reader to Specification 3.9.14 since this specification provides the spent fuel pool fuel assembly storage requirements.

Section 5.3.1.2 provides the new fuel storage rack design criteria, where item "a" limits fuel assembly maximum enrichment to 4.5 weight pwrcent for Unit 1 and 4.85 weight percent for Unit 2.

Item "b" limits the K.gg to 10.95 including applicable uncertainties when the new fuel storage racks are flooded with unborated water, this is consistent with Unit 1 UFSAR Section 9.12 and Unit 2 UFSAR Section 9.1.

Item "d" specifies the 21 inch new fuel storage cell nominal center to center distance between fuel assemblies.

This is consistent with that specified

~in Unit 1~ UFSAR Section 9.12 and Unit 2 UFSAR Section 9.1.

Section 5.6.2, Drainage, and Section 5. 6. 3, Capacity, have been renumbered to 5.3.2 and 5.3.3, respectively; the text remains unchanged.

Section 5.7, seismic classification, has been removed since this information is provided in Unit 1 UFSAR Appendix B and Unit 2 UFSAR Section 3.7.

Section 5.8, Meteorological Tower Location, has been removed since this information is provided in ODCM Figure 5-1.

i The proposed change removes information that'is redundant to that provided in the UFSAR, is not in the ISTS, and is not required to j

be listed in the TS design features section in accordance with i

10 CFR 50.36.

As a result of reducing the information presented, i

the TS index has been updated to reflect the change in section and page. numbers.

Format and editorial changes along with j

additional information describing the new fuel storage racks has been added for consistency with the ISTS.

These changes do not i

affect any of the UFSAR accident analyses and are consistent with the design of the plant; therefore, these changes have been i

. determined to be safe and will not reduce the safety of the plant.

NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS EVALUATION The no significant hazard considerations involved with the

)

j) proposed amendment have been evaluated, focusing on the three j

standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) as quoted below:

1 The Commission may make a final determination, pursuant to j

the procedures in paragraph 50.91, that a proposed amendment to an operating license for a

facility licensed under i

paragraph 50.21(b) or paragraph 50.22 or for a testing j

facility involves no significant hazards consideration, if operation of the facility 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 different kind of f

accident from any accident previously evaluated; or j

(3)

Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The following evaluation is provided for the no significant i

bazards consideration standards.

ATTACHMENT B, continusd i

Proponcd T&chnical Spscification Change Noz. 234 and 107 P, age 4 1.

Does the change involve a

significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

The proposed change reduces the content of the technical specification (TS) design feature section consistent with the Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS) of NUREG-1431.

The information that has been removed is also contained in the UFSAR or offsite dose calculation manual (ODCM);

therefore, duplication of the information is eliminated to improve the use of the TS.

Because the information removed from the TS is maintained in the UFSAR or ODCM where changes are controlled in accordance with regulatory requirements, there is no reduction in commitment and adequate control is provided.

Elimination of information from the design feature section of the TS which duplicates information in the UFSAR enhances the usability of the TS without reducing commitments.

These changes clarify and i

improve the understanding and readability of the TS.

Since the requirements remain the same, these changes only affect the ' method of presentation and would not affect possible initiating events for accidents previously evaluated or any i

system functional requirement.

Therefore, the proposed changes would not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2.

Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

The relocation of existing requirements, the elimination of requirements which duplicate existing information, and making administrative improvements are all changes that are administrative in nature.

The proposed changes will not affect any plant system or structure, nor will they affect any system functional or operability requirements.

Consequently, no new failure modes are introduced as a result of the propost.d changes.

The proposed changes are consistent with the

ISTS, for the most
part, as plant-specific information is included in this section.

Therefore, the proposed change will not create the possibility of a new or different type of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3.

Does the change involve a significant reduction in a margin of, safety?

The proposed changes are administrative in nature in that no l

change to the design features of the facility are being made.

The de: sign features section is being reformatted to be i

consistent, for the most part, with the ISTS.

The proposed l

changes do not affect the UFSAR design

bases, accident assumptions, or technical specification bases.

In addition, B-4

l s'.

l l

ATTACHMENT B, continusd Proposed Technical Specification Change Nos. 234 and 107 Page 5 i

the proposed changes do not affect release limits, monitoring equipment or practices.

Therefore, the proposed change will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

F.

NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION Based on the considerations expressed above, it is concluded that the activities associated with this license amendment request satisfy the no significant nazards consideration standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c)

and, accordingly, a

no significant hazards

(

consideration finding is justified.
