Page 3/4 6-51 JUN 131988 BASIS FOR SPECIFICATION LCO 3.6.5.2/SR 4.6.5.2 The reactor building exhcust filter system is designed to iilter the reactor building atmosphere prior to release to the facility vent stack during both normal and most accicent conditions of operation. Additional information is proviced in the BASIS for LCO 3.6.5.1/SR 4.6.5.1 and FSAR Section 6.2.4.

The system consists of tnree trains, two of which are normally in continuous operation (FSAR Section 6.2.3.2), with the third normally on stancey, The cesign flow rate for each train is 19,000 cfm. Allowing 10'., the minimum flow rate is 17,100 cfm. Based on cast performance data, a maximum flow rate of 23,000 cfm is also specified. One train is sufficient to maintain tne reactor building subatmospheric and thereby minimize unfiltered fission procuct release from the building.

With only one exnaust fan coerating, the ventilation system controls will snrottle fresh air supply to the air handler in order to recuce tne pressure.

The reactor building is maintained in a subatmospheric condition to ensure that all air leakage will be inward and to minimize unfiltered fission product release from the building.

The ventilation system was designed to maintain a subatmospheric condition of approximately 1/4 inch water gauge negative (FSAR 6.2.3.2). In actual practice, the reactor building pressure is normally indicated approximately 0.15 to 0.20 inches water gauge negative, cepending on building activity anc ventilation equipment cerfiguration. There is an alarm at approximately 0.03 inches water gauge negative, and the air supply will fully close if tne building pressure increases to atmosoneric (FSAR Section 14.7.3).

Bypass leakage and penetration for the enarcoal acsorcers and carticulate removal ef ficiency for HEPA filters are determined oy halogenated nycrocaroon and cioctyl entnalate (00P) resoectively. l The laboratory caroon samole test results incicate a radioactive metnyl iocice removal efficiency for exoectec accicent conditions. The filter /acsorcer eenetration and bypass acceotance limits in the surveillances are applicable cased on a HEPA filter efficiency of 9 5'. and charcoal acsorcer ef ficiency of 90'. assumed in the AEC staff's Safety Evaluation (Table 4.3, Safety Evaluation, Jan. 20, 1972; anc FSAR 5ection 14.12.3).

Tne surveillance 'recuencies soecifiec establish system cerformance caoacilities.

Page 3/4 6-52 JUN I .') 1988 The activated carbon adsorber in the affected unit will be replaced if a representative sample fatis to pass the iodine removal efficiency test. Any HEPA filters found defective 4 will be replaced.

If fire, enemical release, or painting, occurs such that the HEPA filter or enarcoal adsorcer could become significantly contaminated from tne fumes, enemicals, or foreign materials, the same tests and sample analysis should be performed, as required, for operational surveillance. Reactor building exhaust tra i n( s) OPERABILITY snould be verified per SR 4.6.5.2.b following:

1. Painting with greater than 5 gallons of paint, irclucing water-case or ecuivalent paint, over the six-montn normal surveillance interval,
2. Any soray (aerosol generating) painting (incluces water-case or equivalent oaint),
3. Fires that exceed I hour in curation, oe 4 Any uncontrolled release / spillage of 5 gallons or more of any chemical material which could reasonably be exoected to interfere with the charcoal to adsorb methyl iccice.

A pressure drop across the combinec HEPA filter and charcoal adsorcer of less than 6 inenes of water gauge at the filter cesign flow rate will indicate that :ne filters and adsorbers are not clogged oy excessive amounts :f foreign matter.

Page 3/4 7-15 DRAFT BASIS SP?CIFICATIONS JUW 13 888 FOR .LC0 ' 3. 7.1. 5/SR 4.7.1.5 AND LCO 3.7.1.6/SR 4.7.1.6 -

The economizer-evaaorator-superheater (EES) section of eacn. steam S

s generator loop is Drotected by three spring-loaded safety valves, each with one-third nominal relieving capacity of each loop. The eheater section of each steam genarator loop is protected from overpressure transients by a single safety valve. These steam V generator safety valves a-e described in the FSAR, Section 10.2.5.3.

These steam generator safety valves are designed to relieve steam and can be damaged by rapid cyclic actuations tnat occur when they relieve water. T protect these valves, only one EES safety valve and the reheater safety valve are maintained in service ia each loop, through startuo evolutions with only one boiler feedwater pumo supplying feedwater' to tne EES sections. As additional boiler feedwater puaps' are placed in service, additional safety valves are also placed in service. The use of one safety valve per steam generator section during SHUT 00WN and REFUELING is acceptable, as it is capable of relieving the available flow. j Also, other power actuated valves .th.tt are capable of relieving pressure fron, the main steam and reheat piping are included in the FSV design.

The above valves are required to be tested in accordance with ASME Section XI, IGV requirements every 5 years (or less, depending on failures) or af ter maintenance. To satisfy tne testing criteria, the valves must ce tested with steam. Since tnese valves are permanently installed in steam piping, the approoriate .eans for testing requires the plant to be operating at steady state conditions, and close to the steam conditions expected at the set:oint. Power levels above 50*; RATED THERMAL POWER are suf ficient to acnieve this. Also, 7 days ensures setootnt verification witnin a reasonable time, noting that the test schedules are such that all "alves are not tested at the same time and tnus, s:ne valves will normally be OPERABLE.

During all MODES, witn one EES safety valve inoperable, plant operation is restricted to a condition for whicn the remaining safety valves nave sufficient relieving cacability to prevent overoressurization of any steam generator section. Conversely, with any reheater safety valve inocerable, olant coeration is restricted to a more restrictive MODE.

l ,

A 72-hour action time for recair or SHUTOOWN cue to inocerable safety valves ensures tnat tnese valves are returnec to service in a relatively snort seriod of time, curing anich an overpressure transien* is unli(ely. 0:eration at :aer for 72 n0urs coes not result .n a significant loss of safety function for any extenced peried.

The setooints for tre safety valves 'centified in Table 4.7.1-1 are tnose values icentified in tne :5 4 .<itn tolerances applied such.that l tne Technical Scecifications l incorocrate anucercoundset-fint.

This is consistent with n:t incorcorating normal ocerating limits in tnese Scecifications.

INCORPORATION OF RECENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION AMENDMENTS INTO TSUP

'This Attachment is -a re-submittal of several discussions provided previously in-Attachment 2 to_P-88082. The impact of Amendment 51 on the Upgraded -FSV Technical Specifications has been re-evaluated in several areas, as shown herein.

Amendment No: 51 Current Technical Specification: SR 5.2 21

Description:

Testing of valves and transfer switches that must be manually positioned for- actuation of the ACM mode of operation.

'TSUP Impact: None. Consistent with the philosophy ano 'evels of detail provided in TSUP,_ these valves and instruments are not explicitly addressed in the Specifications, but they hre covered. The

. operability of the ACM transfer switches is demonstrated during ACM load testing per TSUP SR 4.8.4.e.2. , Also, the operability of the valves is assured by other TSUP surveillances for their associated systems.

Amendment No: 51 Curren' Technical Specification: SR 5.2.24 9

Description:

Functicnally test each purification cooling water pump and controls, monthly. Annually verify performance and calibrate instrumentation.

TSUP Impa t: The surveillance of these pumps was added to the revised final draft of SR 4.7.5.b and c. These pumps supply cooling water t6 the helium purification coolers, which are included in the depressurization flow path (addressed in TSUP Specification 3/4.7.5). There are other means of supplying these coolers, such as the PCRV liner cooling system or nitrogen recondensing chilled water. These pumps are used in the event of a leak in a helium purification cooler, to provide cooling without spreading activity to other systems.

Instrumentation and control; are addressed via PSC's administrative controls.

l l

Attachment 3 to P-88205 Amendment No: 51 Current Technical Specification: SR 5.2.24.h

Description:

Test valves used for automatic isolation of purification cooling water system and reactor plant cooling water system.

TSUP Impact: Requirements for these valves have been added to the revised final draft of Specification 3/4.6.4.3.
