SUMMARY

OF MEETING WITH PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO (PSC) ON TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION UPGRADE PROGRAM (TSUP) - DECEMBER 2-3, 1987.

On December 2 and 3, 1987 the NRC staff met with the staff of the Public Service Company of Colorado (PSC) at the Fort St. Vrain (FSV) site. Also in attendance were NRC contractors from Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) and Oak Ridge Nation Laboratory (ORNL). The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the status of the FSV-TSUP. Specifically, this meeting focused on areas related to cooling functions, electrical systems and the overall progress and schedule.

The meeting attendees are listed in Enclosure 1. References are listed in Enclosure 2.

A proposed schedule for the completion of the TUSP effort, sent by NRC to to PSC (Ref. 1) was discussed and modified at this meeting. A review of the proposed PSC revised draft technical specifications and discussions of NRC comments (Ref.

2&3) was accomplished during this meeting. The PSC material (Ref. 4) was sent to NRC prior to the meeting. Additional NRC staff comments on the auxiliary electric power system (Enclosure 3) were also discussed. The new classification status for the material covered at this meeting are listed in the tables in Enclosure 4. They are subject to verification when PSC submits their final responses. for ease of reference the six classification categories are listed in Enclosure 5.

A teleconference is scheduled for January 8, 1988. During this teleconference PSC will cover those items noted in the tables in Enclosure 4. The next meeting on TUSP is projected for mid-Fedruary,1988.

The new dates for the schedule milestones are listed in Enclosure 6. Incorpo-rated in this schedule is an allowance for the 8th of January teleconference i resulte to be integrated into the PSC responses to the NRC (The PSC responses l are rescheduled from 1/15/88 to 2/1/88.) These changes will cause about a six week slip in the overall schedule. The TS release to PSC is now projected for November 30, 1988, eso1200346 080112 7 DR ADOCK 0500

.g.

Other major items of note are:

1.~ The PSC-draf t of final TS modifications is projected for April 11, 1988. This PSC submittal will include highlighting and justification of all changes made in this final draft. Also, this draft will include all "C items" not-included in previous PSC submittals to NRC.

The draft will have been reviewed and approved by the FSV Plant Operations Review Committee.

2. PSC will supply revised versions of the license amendments that have been approved since the TSUP began (about a dozen amendments). The review cf these revisions will also be incorporated into the final TER, now scheduled for May 30, 1988.
3. PSC will submit a quality assurance plan that is being used to complete the final draft TS modification. This material will be used by the NRC Technical Specifications Branch in their review.

The staff noted that there were uncertainties in the review schedule to allow for TS Branch QA/QC review and the internal NRC legal review. The NRC staff offered comments on the format and contents of LC0 3.5.1.1 through LC0 3.5.5.

PSC will consider these comments in their redraft of these LCOs.

Enclosure 3 s

FORT ST. VMIN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION UPGRADE PROGRAM SECTION 3/4.8 - AUXILIARY ELECTRIC POWER SYS7.MS Meeting Date: December 2/3,1987 Items to be Discussed:

DRE

1. LCOs 3.8.1.lb.4 and 3.8.1.2b.4 both require 100 gallons of diesel lubricating oil to be present for operating conditions (2 diesel generator sets required to be operable) and shutdown (1 diesel generator set required to be operable) respectively. It is not clear whether the 100 gallons required is for each operable set or for comon storage. This should be clarified. /
2. Surveillance procedure 4.t.1.1.2e.5.b allows 60 seconds for the diesel generator sets to auto start and energize the essential buses. Surveillance procedure 4.8.1.1.2f allows 20 seconds to accelerate to 1200 rpm. We could find no basis for this time being greater than 15 seconds (Section 8.2.5.2 of the updated FSAR, Revision 5). These allowances should therefore be changed to 15 /

seconds.

3. Surveillance procedure 4.8.1.1.2e.8 calls for tests of the diesel generator sets at 21200 kW for 22 hours2.546296e-4 days <br />0.00611 hours <br />3.637566e-5 weeks <br />8.371e-6 months <br />. Surveillance procedure 4.8.1.1.2a.7 is similar for at least 60 minutes. Damage to the generators could occur when operating at greater than full continuous load, especially when considering possible instrument inaccuracies that could actually call for a greater than full load. Therefore, even though the STS has the same potential for generator damage, this requirement should be changed to a range (such as 1150 50 kW) with the load verified by instrumentation recently calibrated and of known accuracy, 1
4. Section 3/4.8.2 Action a, acknowledges that a battery equalizing

, charge can exceed 24 hourc; however, it docc not rectrict the length of the equalizing charge (said to be between 3 and 5 days) nor the frequency with which equalizing charges can be applied. Batteries must be maintained in a state of readiness, available for immediate use for events such as station blackout and for diesel generator controls and field flashing and bus load shedding and control (see basis on page 3/4 8-15). Therefore, the 5 day limit should be imposed, and an equalizing charge while operating should be made the exception rather than an everyday occurrence.

5. Section 3/4.8.2 Action b does not direct efforts towards restoring an inoperative battery charger untti the battery is declared inoperative. This is not acceptable. A dedicated battery charger should be required to be placed (returned) to service with the same expediency that a battery is (restore to OPERABl.E status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or be in at least SHUTDOWN within the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />).
6. In the December 18, 1986 meeting, it was stated that plant specific values for Table 4.8.2.1 would be provided, specifically for specific gravity and cell voltage. Other than specific gravity for Category A, there were no changes. We also nete that battery It is of different design fror batteries lA and 18. Therefore, separate values may be necessary. We could not find this itern addressed in the August 24, 1987 (P 87272) response.
7. (a) Section 4.8.2.lf, 'perforrance discharge tests' should be

'perfortnance discharge test'.

(b) On page 3/4.8 26, references to ' Table 4.8 2' should be

' Table 4.8.2-l'.

(c) On page 3/4.815, reference to 'any of the five off site sources' should be changed to be in agreement with 3.8.1.la.

2 DRM

L (d) is it necessary to include operability of the main transformer in conjunction with capability of the VAT 7 (e) What is the resistance of the inter-rack connections for the batteries (4.8.2.lb.2 and 4.8.2.lc.3), and is there a reason this value should not be trended?

(f) is the 121.5 volts in surveillance requirement 4.8.2.la.2. with reference to cells that are jumped out, the individual cell voltage or both?
