h 7590-01 UNITED STATES NilCLEAR REGtlLATORY CCMMISSION DUKE POWER COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-369 AND 50-370 NO,TfCE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSl LANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPFRATING LICENSES AND OPPORTllN!TV FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating Licenses Nos.
NPF-9 and NPF-17 issued to Duke Power Company (the licensee), for operation of the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
The amendments would change Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.7.7 ' Auxiliary Building Filtereri Ventilation Exhaust System" (VA system).and its associated Bases to reflect that the VA system consists of two shared safety-grade systems servino the comon Auxiliary Building, rather than one safety-grade system for each of the two McGuire units. The VA system functions after a loss-of-coolant accident to ensure that the radioactive materials which may leak from the ECCS equipment within the ECCS pump rooms of the Auxiliary Building would be filtered i
by a filter package including a charcoal filter bed prior to reaching the environment.
The changes would relax the present action time (74 hours8.564815e-4 days <br />0.0206 hours <br />1.223545e-4 weeks <br />2.8157e-5 months <br />) to restore an innperable VA system. Specifically, the change would provide a 7-day action time if one system of VA were inoperable because of an inoperable filter package or because it is unable to maintain a pressure of 0.25 inches (water gauge) at the ECCS pump room relative to outside atmosphere. A 72-hour action tire would be provided if one VA system were inoperable because of an inoperable 9804060127 000331 DR ADOCK 050 9
s 7590-01 2
flowpath or because it was unable to maintain a negative pressure at the ECCS pump room relative to cutside atmosphere.
The present 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> action time would be applied only i' both VA systems were inoperable, and would apply to both McGuire units until at least one system was restored.
The amendrents would double the tire period of charcoal absorber operation (from 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> to 1440 Fours) after which laboratory analysis is reauired to verify that a carbon sarple meets specified methyl iodide penetration criteria.
The carbon sample test temperature (presently specified by referenced Degulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2) would be changed from CO*C to a riore conservative 30'C while the associated penetration acceptance criteria would be relaxed from 99".
to 90% removal.
The amendments wnuld also substitute the 1980 version for the ic75 version of ANSI N510 Ireferenced in TSs 4.7.7.e and 4.7.7f) for use as a procedural guide for surveillance testing, and would substitute the term "carbon" whenever the tem "charcoel" is used in TS 3/4.7.7.
