UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DUKE POWER COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-369 AND 50-370 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND PROPOSED N0 SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATIONS AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING

~

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issu-ance of amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-9 and NPF-17, issued to Duke Power Company (the licensee), for operation of the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units' I and '2, located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

These amendments were requested by the licensee.in a letter dated August 2, 1983.

One amendment would change Technical Specification 4.6.5.3.1 to increase the surveillance interval for verifying that the ice condenser inlet doors can be' opened and closed properly and to increase the size of the sample required to be tested.during each surveillance.

The change would increase the surveillance interval from 6 months to 9 months and at the same time increase the sample size-from 25% to 50%.

A second amendment would change Technical Specification Table 3.3-5, response time for steam line isolation from 5 9 seconds to d 7 seconds.

The change would reflect the response time value used in the safety analysis report.

A third amendment would change Technical Specification Table 3.7-4b to reflect deletion of 1 mechanical snubber on the Unit 2 Diesel Generator Lube Oil System and 1 mechanical snubber on the Unit 2 Safety Injection System.

Deletion of these snubbers is allowed by the terms of the technical specification.

o

. 7590-01 A fourth amendment would change Technical Specification 4.6.1.1.a to exempt locked valves, blind flanges and deactivated automatic valves located inside the annulus from monthly surveillance requirements.

A similar exemption applies to com-ponents inside containment.

Surveillance on the aanulus components would be per-

. formed during cold shutdown.

A fif th amendment would change Technical Specificaticn 4.6.1.3.b to require an overall containment airlock leakage test whenever maintenance has been performed on' the air locks that could affect the air locking sealing capability.

This change l

would ' constitute an exemption to Appendix J to' 10 CFR 50.

l l

The sixth amendment would change Technical Specification Table 3.6-1, by adding several secondary containment penetrations 'that were inadvertently omitted from the 1

table.due to admir.istrative errors.

The seventh amendment' would correct several Technical Specification administra-tive and typographical errors..

The eighth amendment would change Technical Specification Table 3.3-1 concerning the action required in the event one of the four instrumentation channels per steam generator is inoperable which actuate reactor trip upon low-low-steam generator water-level.

The change would allow bypassing the inoperable channel for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for surveillance testing of the remaining operable channels.

The ninth amendment wculd change Technical Specification 4.7.10.2.a to.

exclude sprinkler system valves from surveillance requirements which are inacces-sible during plant operation and would add Specification 4.6.10.2.C.4 to require verifying the positions of those valves at least once per 18 months.

.. 7590-O'.

Tne final amendment would change Technical Specification 3.6.4.3/4.6.4.3 by clarifying that.the Primary Contaicment Distributed Ignition System consists of two recundant trains to assure compatibility with operability as definea on a per

-train oasis.

Before issuance of the proposed license amendments, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (tne Act) and the Commission's regulations.

The Commission has made a proposed cetermination that the amendment requests involve no significant hazards consideration.

Under the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequ'ences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because the function of the ice condenser doors is to mitigate the consequences of accidents, the proposed amendment to Technical Specification 4.6.5.3.1 does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because no changes in operating conditions will result from tne change in surveillance test interval, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Because no changes in any accident analyses will result from the change in the surveillance test interval, the proposed amendment does not involve any increase in the consequences of an accident previously evalauted.

r

~

. s 7590-01 Because the proposed amendment to Technical Specification Table 3.3-5 is more restrictive than the current response time for steamline isolation and because it

~

reflects botn the FSAT Chapter 6 steamline break containment analysis and the Chapter 15 steamline break core analysis, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because the proposed amendment is l

more restrictive in operating conditions, the amendment does not create the possi-bility of a new or dif ferent kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Because no changes in any accident analyses will result from the change in response time, the proposed anendment does not involve any increase in the ccnsequences of an accider.: previously evaluated.

Because the proposed amendment to Technical Specification Table 3.7-4b deleting 2 safety-related mecnanical snubbers is based on meeting ASME code by reanalysis in one case and by installation of a rigid support in the secondary case, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because no change in operating condition will result, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Because no changes in any accident analysis will result, the proposed amendment does not involve any increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Eecause tne proposec amer.dment to Technical Specification 4.6.1.1.a reduces the frequency of surveillance of the status of penetrations in the annulus but meets the acceptable criteria in the Standard Review Plan, Section 6.2.4, and because these penetrations are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the closed position, which

, 7593-0; the staff previously approved for Unit 1, the proposed amenoment does not irivolve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Becsuse no change in operating con-dition will result, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident.previously evaluated. Because no changes in.any accident analysis will result, the proposed amendment does not involve any increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluateo.

The proposed amendment regarding the testing of the containment airlock leakage would reduce such testing from testing after each opening of the airlock in the current technical specification to testing when maintenance has been performed on t.,e airlock tnat could affe:t the air locking capability.

Because this change has little significance on Technical Specification 4.6.1.3.a requiring.a seal integrity test prior to establishing containment integrity and once every 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, the proposed amendment to Technical Specification 4.6.1.3.b does not involve a significant increase in the probabilit'y of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because no change in operating con-dition will result, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a.

(3 new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. Because

-no changes in any accident analysis will result, the proposed amendment 'does not involve any increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Because the proposed amendment to Technical Specification Table 3.6-1 adds several additional penetrations to Table 3.6-1 of the Technical Specifications which were inadvertently omitted, the addition being more restrictive than existing requirements, the proposed amendment to Technical Specification Table 3.6-1 does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because no change in I

O 7590-01 operating condition will result, the proposed amendment does not create the possi.

. bility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Because no enanges in any accident analysis will result, the proposed amendment does not involve any increase in the ccnsequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Because the proposed amendments to 5 Technical Specifications involve only administrative or typographical changes, the proposed amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because no change in operating condi-tion will result, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Because no changes in any accident analysis will result, the pro, posed amendment does not involve any increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Because the proposed amendment to Technical Specification Table 3.3-1, achieves consistency within the technical specifications for continued operation with one steam generator low-low water level channel inoperable on reactor trip system instru-mentation and because operation with one inoperable channel would be for a limited time period (up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />) to perform monthly surveillance testing, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because the change in operating condition is for a limited period of time, the proposed amend-ment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously cvaluatec.

Eecause no changes in any accicent analysis will result, the prop'osed amendment does not include any increase in the consequences of any accident previously evaluated.

o.

-I-7590-01 Because the proposed amendment relates to surveillance of sprinkler system valves which are inaccessible during plant operation and 'are either locked or elec-trically supervised and meet the guidelines in the Standard Review Plan, extending the surveillance frequency from 31 days to 18 months as proposed in Technical Speci-fication 4.7.10.2.a does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because no change in operating condition will result, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Because no changes in any accident analysis will result, the proposed amendment does not involve any increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Because the proposed amendment to Technical Specification 3.6.4.3/4.6.4.3 achieves consistency throughout the technical specification by clarifying that these are two redundant trains of igniters in the Primary Containment Distributed Ignition System and because operability is more restrictive when two igniters on the same train 3re inoperable, the proposed technit.a! specification does not involve a signi-ficant increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated or a signiff-cant reduction in a margin of safety.

Because no change in operating condition will result, the proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident fr'om any accident previously evaluated.

Because no changes in any accident analy' sis will result, the proposed amendment does not involve any increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

. Based on the foregoing, the Commission proposes to determine that each of these proposed lic 1s'e amendments does not involve :ignificant hazards considerations.

petitioner's interest.

Tne petition should also identify the specific aspect (s) of the subject matter of the procec'ing as to which petitioner ~ wishes to intervene.

Any person who has filed a petition for leave to intervene or who has been admitted as a party may amend the petition without requesting leave of the Board up to fifteen (15) days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceed-ing, but such an amended petition must satisfy the specificity requirements described above.

Ivot later than fifteen (15) days prior tc the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, a petitioner shall file a supplement to the petition to intervene which must include a list of the contentions which are sought to be liti-gated in the matter, and the bases for each contention set forth with reasonable speci ficity.

Contentions shall be limited to matters within the scope of the amend-ment under consideration.

A petitioner wno fails to file such a supplement which satisfies these requirements with respect to at least one contention will not be permitted to participate as a party.

Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any l

limitations in the order granting leave to intervene, and have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the hearing, including the opportunity to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.

If a hearing is requested, the Commission will make a final determination on the issue of no significant hazards consideration.

The final determination will serve to-cecide when the hearing is held.

If the final determination is that the amendment request involves no signifi-cant hazards consideration, the Commission may issue the amendment and make it j

ef fective,. notwithstanding the request for a hearing.

Any hearing held would take i

place after issuance of the amendment.

i_

. 7590-01 If the final determination is that the amendment involves a significant hazards consideration, any hearing held would take place before the issuance of any amendment.

Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendment until the expiration of the 30-day notice period.

However, should circumstances change during the notice period such that failure to act in a timely way would result, for example, 'in derat-ing or shutdown of the facility, the Commission may issue the license amendment before the expiration of the 30-day notice period, provided that its final determin-ation is that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.

The final determination will consider all public and State comments received.

Should the Com-mission take this action, it will publish a notice of issuance and provide for oppor-tunity for a hearing after issuance.

The Commission expects that the need to take this action will occur very infrequently.

A request for a hearing or a petition for leave to intervene must be filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.

20555, Attention: Docketing and Service Branch, or may be delivered to the Commis-sion's Public Document Room,1717 H Street, N.W. Washington, D.C., by the above date.
