YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY YANKEE NUCLEAR POVER STATION DOCKET NO. 50-29 AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No. 87 License No. DPR-3

1. The Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) has found that:

A. The application for amendment by Yankee Atomic Flectric Company (thelicensee)datedJune 26, 1985 complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Comission's rules and regulations s set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; B. The facility will operate in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission; C. There is reasonable assurance (i) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public; and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; D. The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E. The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFP Part 51 of the Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

5. Verifying that each ECCS safety injection subsystem is aligned to receive electrical power from an OPERABLE energency bus.

6. Verifying that each pair of ECCS recirculation eGbaystem redundant valves is aligned to receive elecYrical power from separate OPERABLE busses.

7. Verifying that each pair of ECCS long-tern hot leg injection subsystem redundant valves is aligned to receive electrical power from separate OPERABLE busses.

8. Verifying that the charging header flow metering instrument is OPERABLE by observing charging flow rate at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.

c. By a visual inspection which verifies that no loose debris (rags, trash, clothing, etc.) is present in the containment which could be transported to the containment sump and cause restriction of the pump suctions during LOCA conditions. This visual inspection shall be performed:

1. For all accessible areas of the containment prior to establishing containment integrity, and

2. Of the areas affected within containment at the co=pletion of each containment entry when containment integrity is established,

d. At least once per 18 months by visual inspection of the containment sump and verifying that the subsystem suction inlets are not restricted by debris and that the sump components (trash racks, screens, etc.) show no evidence of structural distress or corrosion.

e. At least once per 18 months, during shutdown, by:

1. Cycling each power-operated valve in the flow path through at least one complete cycle of full travel.

2. Verifying that valve CS-MOV-532 actuates to its correct position on a safety injection signal.

3. Verifying that each of the following pumps start automatically upon receipt of a safety injection signal:

(a) High Pressure Safety injection (HPSI) pump (b) Low Pressure Safety injection (LPSI) pump TANKEE R0WE 3/4 5-7 AmendmentNo.[,[,&t

4. Verifying the proper positioning of hot les injection throttle valve SI-V-645.

5. Verifying that each charging pump stops automatically upon receipt of a safety injection signal.

6. Verifying that the charging header flow metering instrument is OPERABLE by performing a CHANNEL CALIBRATION.

7. Verifying the proper positioning of the HPSI throttle valves SI-V-671, 672, 673 and 674 by performing an inspection to ensure that:

(a) Each valve locking device is in place and securely welded to the valve handle and to the valve yoke.

(bi The scribe mark on each valve body aligns with the scribe mark on the valve yoke. .

f. During shutdown following completion of the modifications to the ECCS subsystems that alter the subsystem flow characteristics and/or any time either test under 4.5.2.e.7 is failed, by developing a backpressure of 875 psig in the high pressure safety injection header with two HPSI pumps operating as follows:

1. Pressure to the suction of the HPSI pumps to be 170 1 10 psi.

2. LPSI flow is isolated.

3. Injection flow is to one loop with the other loops isolated by closing the appropriate injection gate valves CS-MOV-536, CS-MOV-537, CS-MOV-538 and CS-MOV-539.

4. The flow to the injection loops shall not be less than 200 gpm.

5. The above test shall be repeated to include the op-cation of all HPSI pumps.

g. During shutdown following completion of modifications to the ECCS subsystems that alter the subsystem flow characteristics as follows:

1. For the Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI) punips, verify that all combinations of two pumps develop a combined flow g 2180 spm.

2. For the hot leg injection line, verify the proper positioning of throttle valve SI-V-645 by flow testing.
