ATTACHMENT-B Proposed Technical Specification Change Unit 1 - Change No. 1A-153 Unit 2 - Change No. 2A-14 Safety Analysis Description of amendment request:

The proposed amendment would revise the source range channels surveillance mode requirements of Table 4.3-1 for both the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

As currently written an inconsistency exists between Table 3.3-1 and Table 4.3-1.

Table 3.3-1 requires the source range trip channels to be operable in Modes 2 (below P-6), 3, 4 and 5.

However, Table 4.3-1 only requires source range trip channels surveillance in Mode 2 (below P-6) and Modes 3,

4 and 5 with the reactor trip breakers closed.

This implies that no surveillance is required on the source range channels with the reactor trip breakers open.

The channel operability requirement with the reactor trip breakers open ensures that the source range channels are operable for RCS boron dilution protection.

The proposed amendment would revise the source range channel surveillance requirements to be consistent with Table 3.3-1.

This change also corrects typographical errors in action statement 5 of Table 3.3-1 and the action statement for LCO 3.1.3.3 in the Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

The proposed changes described above are all administrative changes.

These

changes, therefore, do not involve any safety concerns and are considered safe.

ATTACHMENT C

No Significant Hazard Evaluation Proposed Technical Specification Change Unit No. 1 - Change No. lA-153 Unit No. 24-Chance-No. 2A-14 Basis for Proposed ik)

Significant Hazards Consideration Determination:

'The Commission has provided standards for determining whether a

significant hazards consideration exists (10 CFR 50.92(c)).

A proposed. amendment to an operating license for a facility involves.no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in.accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated: (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.

The proposed change does not involve a

significant hazards consideration because:

The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing certain examples (51FR7751) of amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards consideration.

example (i) is a "purely administrative change to Technical Specifications:

for example a change to achieve consistency throughout the Technical Specifications, correction of an

error, or a

change in nomenclature".

Example (ii) is a

"change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications, e.g.,

a more stringent surveillance requirement".

The -proposed amendment is a purely administrative change.

The revision to Table 4.3-1 is made to achieve consistency with Table 3.3-1 and also applies a more stringent surveillance requirement than presently exist.

The revisions to Table 3.3-1, action statement 5 of Table 3.3-1 and the action statement for LCo 3.1.3.3 are simply corrections of errors in the Technical Specifications.

Therefore, the above two examples apply to this amendment request.

The proposed amendment will therefore not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated:

(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.

Based on the above considerations, it is proposed to characterize the change as involving no significant hazards considerations.
