The time duration when the specific activity of the primary

?

coolant exceeded 1.0 microcurie /gran DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131.

BASES The. limitations on the specific activity of the primary coolant ensure that the resulting 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> doses at the site boundary will be well

within the Part 100 limit following a steam generator tube rupture accident in conjunction with an assumed steady state primary-to-secondary steam generator leakage rate of 1.0 GPM. The values for the limits on specific activity represent limits based upon a parametric evaluation by the NRC of typical site locations. These values are conservative, in that the specific site parameters of TMI-1, such as site boundary, location and meteorological conditions, were not considered in this evaluation.

The ACTION statement permitting POWER OPERATION to continue for limited time periods with the primary coolant's specific activity greater than 1.0 microcurie / gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131, but within the allowable limit shown on Figure 3.1-2a, accommodates possible iodine spiking phenomenon which may occur following changes in THERMAL POWER.

Operation with specific activity levels exceeding 1.0 microcurie / gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 but within the' limits shown on Figure 3.1.2a must I

be restricted t'o no more than 800 hours0.00926 days <br />0.222 hours <br />0.00132 weeks <br />3.044e-4 months <br /> per year (approximately 10 percent of'the units yearly operating time) since the activity. levels allowed by Figure 3.1-2a increase the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> thyroid dose at the site boundary by a factor of up to 20 following a postulated steam generator tube rupture. Reporting any cumulative operating time over 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> in any 6 consecutive month period with greater than.1.0 microcurie / gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 'I-131 will alert the NRC to the situation and allow.

sufficient time for evaluation and appropriate action before reaching the-800 hour limit.

Proceeding to HOT SHUTDOWN prevents the release of activity should a steam generator tube rupture since the saturation pressure of the primary coolant is below the lift pressure of the atmospheric steam relief valves.

The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific activity levels in the primary coolant will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action. Information obtained on iodine spiking will be used to assess the parameters associated with spiking phenomena. A reduction in frequency of isotopic analyses following power changes may be permissible if justified by the data obtained.

3.1. 5.

. CHEMISTRY

- Applicability Applies to acceptable concentrations of impurities for continuous operation Lef the reactor.

Objective-To protect the reactor coolant system from the effects of impurities.

Soeci fi cation 3.1.5.1 If the concentration of oxygen in the primary coolant exceeds 0.1 ppm during power operation, corrective action shall be initiated within eight hours to return oxygen levels to 10.1 ppm.

3.1. 5.2

. If _ the concentration of chloride in the primary coolant exceeds 0.15 ppm during power operat' ion, corrective action shall be initiated within eight hours to return chloride levels to 10.15 ppm.

,- 3.1. 5. 3~

-If the concentration of fluorides in the primary coolant exceeds 0.10 ppm following modifications or repair to the primary system involving velding, corrective action shall be initiated within eight hours to return fluoride levels to 10.10 ppm.

3.1.5.h If the concentration limits for oxygen, chloride or fluoride given in 3.1.5.1, 3.1 5.2, and 3.F.5.3 above are not restored within 2h hours of detection, the reactor shall be placed in a hot shutdown condition within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter. If the normal operational limits.are not restored within an additional 2k-hour period, the reactor shall be placed in a cold shutdown condition within 2h hours thereafter.

3.1.5.5-If the oxygen, chloride, or fluoride concentration of the primary coolant system exceeds 1.0 ppm the reactor shall be brought to the hot shutdown condition using normal shutdown procedure and action is to be taken to return the system to within normal operation specifications.

If normal operating specifications have not been reached in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, the reactor vill then be brought to a cold shutdown condition.

B ses

.By maintaining the chloride, fluoride, and oxygen concentration in the reactor coolant within the specifications, the integrity of the reactor coolant system is protected against potential stress corrosion attack.(1,2)

Th2 oxygen concentration in the reactor coolant system is normally expected to be below detectable limits since dissolved hydrogen is used when the reactor is critical. The requirement that the oxygen concentration not exceed 0.1 ppm during pov { operation is added assurance that stress corrosion cracks will not occur.

If the oxygen, chloride, or fluoride limits are exceeded, measures can be taken to correct the condition (e.g., switch to the spare demineralizer, replace the ion ' exchange resin, or increase the hydrogen concentration in the makeup tank).

To the extent practicable the above containment entries shall be scheduled to coincide, in order to minimize instances of purging.

'3.6.11

- When the reactor is in COLD SHUTDOWN.or REFUELING SHUTDOWN continuous purging is permitted with the Reactor Building purge isolation valves opened fully.

Bases The Reactor. Coolant System conditions'of cold shutdown assure that no steam will be formed and hence no pressure will build up in the containment if the

' Reactor Coolant. System ruptures.

The selected shutdown conditions are based on the type of activities that are C

being carried out and will preclude criticality in any occurrence.

A condition requiring integrity of containment exists whenever the reactor coolant system is open 'to the atmosphere and there is insufficient soluble poison in the reactor coolant to maintain the core one percent suberitical in the event all control rods are withdrawn.

1The. reactor building is designed for~ an internal pressure of 55 psig, and an external pressure 2.5 psi greater than the internal pressure.

Due to industry reports of elastomer degradation in containment purge valve -

seats unique action requirements are now designated to help preclude common-mode' failure of both valves in series. An increased frequency of-leak rate-testing is also incorporated to help assure timely discovery and resolution of any seat degradation.

'An analysis of theJimpact of purging on ECCS performance and an evaluation of the _ radiological consequences of a design basis accident while purging have been' completed and accepted by the NRC staff. The purge isolation valves have been analyzed capable of closing against the dynamic forces associated with a loss-of-coolant accident when limited to a nominal 30' open.

-Allowing purge operations during STARTUP, HOT STANDBY and POWER OPERATION (T.S. - 3.6.10) is more beneficial than requiring a cooldown to cold shutdown from the standpoint of (a) avoiding unnecessary thermal stress cycles on the reactor coolant system and its components and _(b) reducing the potential for causing unnecessary challenges to the reactor trip and safeguards systems.

The recombiner unit is capable of controlling the expected hydrogen generation associated with 1) zirconium-water reactions 2) radiolytic decomposition of water. and 3) corrosion of. metals within containment. The recombiner is designed.in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.7,

" Control of Combustible Gas Concentrations in Containment Following a LOCA",

LMarch 1971, the acceptance criteria of the Standard Review Plan (S.R.P.)

6.2.5., and NUREG 0578, July' 1979. In addition to the installed hydrogen recombiner, a _ second recombiner including. all piping, electrical, and 1 structural provisions is available on site.

Amendment No.'$7,'108 3-41b

' The hydrogen mixing is provided by the reactor building ventilation system to ensure adequate mixing of the containment atmosphere following a LOCA. This mixing action will prevent localized accumulations of hydrogen from exceeding the flammable limit.

Interspace pressurization leak testing of containment purge valvds is performed once very three months. The primary objective of this testing per NRC Safety Issue B-24, is to identify excessive degradation of the resilient seats in a timely manner. Upon failing the quarterly test, manual closure of the valve and retesting are performed in order to identify leakage caused by excessive seat degradation. Manual closure means closure of the valve by means other than the normal operator.

Objective To specify minimum availability and efficiency for the reactor building purge air treatment system and its associated filters.

Specification 3.15.2.1 Except as specified in Specification 3.15.2.3 below, the Reactor Building Purge Air Treatment System filter AH-F1 shall be operable as defined by the Specification below at all times when containment integrity is required unless the Reactor Building purge isolation valves are closed.

3.15.2.2 a.' The results of the in-place DCP and halogenated hydrocarbon tests at maximum available flows on HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks for AH-F1 shall show less than 0.05% DCP penetration and less than 0.05% halogenated hydrocarbon penetration, except that the DCP test will be conducted with prefilters installed.

b.* The results of laboratory carbon sample analysis for the reactor building purge system filter carbon shall show greater than or equal to 90% radioactive methyl iodide decontamination g

efficiency when tested at 2500F, 95% R.H.

l 3.15.2.3 From and after the date that the filter AH-F1 in the reactor building purge system is made or found to be inoperable as defined by Specification 3.15.2.2 above, the Reactor Building purge

~

isolation valves shall be closed until the filter is made operable.

  • Not required until criticality for Cycle 5 operation.

Bases l

The Reactor Building Purge Exhaust System filter AH-F1 is normally used to i

filter all reactor building exhaust air. It is necessary to demonstrate operability of the filters to assure readiness for service if required to i

mitigate a fuel handling accident in the Reactor Builcing and to assure that 10CFR50 Appendix I limits are met. Reactor Building purging is required to be terminated if the filter is not operable.

l

High efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filters are installed before the charcoal absorbers to prevent clogging of the iodine adsorbers for all emergency air treatment systems. The charcoal adsorbers are installed to reduce the potential release of radiciodine to the environment. If the efficiericles of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers are as specified, the resulting doses will be less than the 10 CFR 100 guidelines for the accident analyzed in FSAR update Section 14.2.2.1 which assumes 90% efficiency for inorganic lodines and 70K efficiency for organic iodines.

The flow through AH-F1 can vary from 0 7M to 50,000 CFM, the maximum purge flow rate. During all modes except COLD SHUTDOWN, the purge valves are limited to no more than 308.open (900 being full open). This provides greater assurance of contairrnent isolation dependability per NUREG 0737 Item II.E.4.2

- Item (2)(a). Makeup air is provided between filter AH-F1 and fans AH-E7A and B.

(See also T.S. 3.6).

The in-place DOP and halogenated hydrocarbon tests of the filter banks and the laboratory tests of the carbon samples will be done using the test methods and acceptance criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Rev. 2), except that DCP and Freon tests.will be performed such that radiation release limitations are not exceeded.

order to provide a realistic appraisal of the integrity of the containment unoer accident conditions "as found" Itcal 15akage rgsults must be documentec for corr:ction of th2 integratId leakage rate test results. Containmsnt isolation valves are to be closed in the normal manner prior to local or integrated leakage rate tests.

The minimum test pressure of 27.5 psig for the periccic integrated leakage rate 4

test is sufficiently high to provide an accurate measurement of,the leakage rate and it duplicates the pre-operational leakage rate test at the Teduced pressure.

The specification provides a relationship for relating the measureo leakage of air at the reduced pressure to the potential leakage of 55 psig. The minimun of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> was specified for the integrated leakage rate test to help stabilize conditions and thus improve accuracy and to better evaluate data scatter. Tne frequency of the periodic integrated leakage rate test is keyec to the refueling schedule for the reactor, because these tests can best be performed during refueling shutdowns.

The specified frequency of periodic integra:ed leakage rate tests is based on three major considerations. Firs: is the low probabill:7 of leaks in the 11 set, because of conformance of the complace conta h en: to a 0.10 percen:

1eakage rate a: 55 psig-during pre-operational :esting and the absence of any significan: s:resses in the liner during reac:or operation.

Second is the

-more' frequent res:ing, at design pressure, of those portions of the containment envelo.pe tha: are mos: likely to develop leaks during reactor operation, and the lov value (0.06 percen:) of leakage : hat is specified as acceptable fren penetra: ions and isclation valves. *hird is the tendon stress surveillance progran which p cvides assurance tha: an i=por an: par: of the s::ue: ural in:egri:7 of the con:ainmen: is nain: tined.

More frecuen: :es:ing cf various pene: a:icts is specified as these *.oca:1:ns are nere susceptible to leakage than the reae::: building liner due :c :he techanical closure involved. The basis for specifying a :etal leakage rate of 0.06 percen:

Engineered Safety ~ Features systems. Valves will be strokea to the position required to fulfill their safety function unless it is established that such testing is not practical during operation. Yalves that cannot be full-stroke tested will be part-stroke tested during operation and full-stroke tested curing each normal refueling shutdown.

Periodic surveillance of the airlfck interlock system is specified to assure j

continued operability and preclude instances where one or both ocors are l

inaavertently left open. When an airlock is inoperable anc containnent integrity is required, local supervision of airlock operation is specified.

4.12.2 REACTOR BUILDING PURGE AIR TREATMENT SYSTEv

,'Applic5bility Applies to the reactor building purge air treatment system and associated components.

Objective-To verify that this system and associated components will be able to perform its design functions.

Specification 4.12.2.1 _At least once per refueling interval or once per 2 years, whichever comes first it shall be demonstrated that the pressure drop across the combined EPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks is less than 6 inches of water at system design flow rate (1105).

i 4.12.2.2 a.* The tests and sample analysis required by Specification 3.15.2.2, shall be performed initially, once per refueling interval or 2 years, whichever comes first, or within 30 days prior to the movement of irradiated fuel in containment and

. following significant painting, steam, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone comunicating with the system that could contaminate the EPA filters or charcoal adsorbers, b.* DOP testing shall be performed after each complete or partial replacement of a EPA filter bank or after any structural maintenance on the system housing which could affect EPA frame bypass leakage, c.* Halogenated hydrocarbon testing shall be performed after each complete or partial replacement of a charcoal adsorber bank or after any structural maintenance on the system housing which could affect the charcoal adsorber bank bypass leakage.

d.' The DOP and,halogenated hydrocarbon testing shall be performed T

at the maximum available flow considering physical restrictions, i.e., purge valve position, and gaseous radioactive release criteria.

e.

Each refueling, AH-E7A&B shall be shown to operate within + 5000 cfm of design flow (50,000 cfm) with purge valves fully open.

4.12.2.3 An air distribution test shall be performe:: on ths TEPA filter bank initially and after any maintenance or testing that could affect the air distribution within the system. Tne air distribution across the EPA filter bank shall be uniform within +20%.

The test shall be performed at 50,000 cfm (310%) flow rate with purge valves fully l

open.

  • Surveillance to be performed prior to Cycle 5 criticality in 1 eu of once per refueling interval or once per 2 years.

i Bases Pressure drop across the combined EPA filters and charcoal adsorbers of less than 6 inches of water at the system design flow rate will indicate that the filters and adsorbers are not clogged by excessive amounts of foreign matter.

Pressure drop should be determined at least once every refueling interval to show system performance capability.

' Amendment Nos. 5), $$ 108 4-55b

The frequency of tests and sample analysis are necessary to show that the HEPA

.S

' filters and charcoal adsorbers can perform as evaluated. Tests of the charcoal adsorbers with halogenated hydrocarbon refrigerant shall be performed in accordance with approved test procedures. The charcoal adsorber efficiency test procedures should allow for the removal of one adsorber tray, emptying of one bed from the tray, mixing the adsorbent thoroughly and obtaining at least two samples.

Each sample should be at least two inches in diameter and a length equal to the thickness of the bed.

If test results are unacceptable all adsorbent in the system should be replaced with an adsorbent qualified according to Regulatory Guide 1.52, March 1978.

Tests of the HEPA filters with DOP aerosol shall also be performed in accordance with approved test procedures.

Any HEPA filters found defective should be replaced with filters qualified according to Regulatory Guide 1.52, March 1978.

Fans AH-E7A&B performance verification is necessary to ensure adequate flow to perform the filter surveillance of T.S. 4.12.2.1 and 4.12.2.3 and can only be demonstrated by running both fans simultaneously. This can only be accomplished when purge valves are not limited to 308 open (i.e., cold s hutdown).

Since H recombiners at TMI p purge has been superseded by the installation of H7

~

I..the reactor building purge exhaust system no longer is relied upon to serve an operating accident mitigating (i.e. LOCA) function. The retest requirement of T.S. 4.12.2.2a has therefore been changed to reflect the same retest requirements as the auxiliary and fuel handling building ventilation system which similarly serves no operating accident mitigating function.

4 If significant painting, steam, fire, or chemical release occurs such that the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber could become contaminated 'from the fumes, chemicals or foreign material, the same tests and sample analysis shall be performed as required for operational use. The determination of significant shall be made by the Operations and Maintenance Director - TMI-1.
