REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 2&L6 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS i All components in the reactor coolant system are designed to withstand the effects of cyclic loads from temperature and pressure changes ir, the system. These cyclic loads are introduced by normal load transients, reactor trips, and startup and shutdown operations. The various categories of load cycles used for design purposes are provided in Section 3.9 of the FSAR.

During startup and shutdown, the rates of temperature and pressure changes are limited so that the maximum specified teatup and cooldown rates are consistent with the design assumptions and satisfy the stress limits for cyclic operation.

The operating limit curvas of Figures 3.4.6.1-1 through 3.4.6.* -5 are derived frcm the fractu e toughness requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix G, and ASMc Code Section lit, Appendix G. The curves are based on the RTNDT and stress intensity factL ;rmation for the reactor vessel components. Fracture toughness limits and the basis for compliance are more fully discussed in FSAR Subsection 5.3.1.5, " Fracture Toughness."

The reactor vessel materials han been tested to dete mine their initial RTNDT. The results of these teste are shown in Bases Table B3/4.4.61. Retctor operation and resultant faat neutron (E greater than 1 McV) irradiation will cause an increase in the RTNDT. Therefore, an adjusted reference temperatJre, based upon the fluence, sepper content, and nickel content of the material can be predicted using Bases Figuro B3/4.4.6-1 and the recommendations of RG 1.99, Revision 2,

" Radiation Embrittlernent of Reactor Vessel Materials."

The actual shift in RTNDT of the vessel material will be established periodicany during operation by removing and evaluating irradiated specimens installed near the inside wall of the reactor vesselin the core area. Since the neutron spectra u the specimens arid vesselinside radius are essentially identical, the irradiated specimens can b3 used with confidence in predicting reactor vessel material transition temperature shift. The operating limit cwves of Figures 3.4.6.1-1 through 3.4.6.1-5 shell be adjusted, as required, on the basis of the specimen data and recommendations of RG 1.99, Revision 2. Data obtained after removal of the first surveillance capsule will be used to adjust the fluence of Bases Figure B3/4.4.6-1.

< The pressure-temperature limit lines shown in Figures 3.4.6.1-1 through 3.4.6.15 for hydrostatic testing end system leakage testing for critical operations have been provided to assure compliance with the minimum temperature requirements of Appendix G to 10CFR50.

The umber of reactor vessel irradiation surveillance capsules and the frequencies for removing i and ;est5g the spacimens in these capsules are provided in Table 4.4.6.1.3 1 to assure complicace with the requirements of Appendix H to 10CFR50.

& 3/4.10 SPECIAL TEST EXCEPTIONS BASES 3/4.10.1 PRIMARY CON TAINMENT INTEGRITY l

The requirement for PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY is not applicable during the period when open vessel tests are being performed during the low-power PHYSICS TESTS.

3/4.10.2 ROD SEQUENCE CONTROL SYSTEM in order to perfctm the tests requi ed in the Technical Specifications it is necessary to bypass t7e sequence restraints on control rod movement. The additional surveillance requirements ensure that the specifications on heat generation rates and shutdov.n margin requiraments are not exceedad during the period when these tests are being performed and that individual rod worths do not exceed the values assumed in the safety anclysis.

3/4.10.3 SHUTDOWN MARGIN DEMONSTR ATIONS Performance of shutdown margin demonstrations with the vessel head removed requires additional restrictions in order to ensure that criticality does not occur. These additional restrictions are specified in this Lir .iting Condition for Operation.

3/4.10.4 RECIRCULATION LOOPS This special test exception permits reactor criticality under no-flow conditions and is required to perform certain startup and PHYSICS TESTS while at low THERMAL POWER levels.

3/4.10.5 OWGEN CONCENTRATICE Relief from the oxygen concentration specifications is necessary in order to provide access to the primary containment during the initial startup and testing phase of operation. Without this access, the startup and test program could % r65tricted and delayed.

3/4.10.6 TR AINING STARTUPS l

This special tes: exception permits training startups to be performed with the reactor vessel depressurized at low THERMAL POWER and temperaturc while centrolling RCS tamperature with one RHR subsystem aligned in the shutdown ecoling modo in o:dar to minimize the discharge of contaminated water to the radiocctive waste disposal su cem.

3/4.10.7 SYSTEM LEAKAGE AND HYDROSTATIC TESTjjEi l This cpecial test exception allows reactor vessel system leakage and hydrostatic testing to be I nerformed in OPERATIONAL CONDITION 4 with the maximum reactor coolant temperature not

.xceeding 212 F. The additionally imposed OPERATIONAL LONDITION 3 requirement for secondary containment operability provides conservatism in the respr.,nse of the unit to an operational event. This allows flexibility since temperatures appr. .ch 190 F during the testing and can drift higher because of decay and mechanical lieat. Adduionally, because reactor veseel fluence increases over ti.ne, this testing will require coolant temperatures > 200oF.

, NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION LICENSE NO. WPF 69 DOCKET NO. 50-410 Suoourtino information and No Sionificant Hazards ConsiderPtigp Analysis INTRODUCTION The proposed Nine Mile Point Unit 2 (NMP2) Technical Specification (TS) changes contained herein present revisions to the following NMP2 TS pages:

Section 4.0.5, Surveillance Requirements for inservice inspection and testing; Table 4.3.7.5-1, " Accident Manitoring instrumentation Surveillance Requirements"; Section 4.4.3.2.2, Reactor Coolant System Leakage surveillance requirements: Sections 3.4.6.1 and 4.4.6.1.1, Reactor Coolant System Prossure/ Temperature Limits: Figure 3.4.6.1 1, Nine Mile Point Unit 2 non-critical hydrotest; Section 3.4.9.1, Residual Heat Removal Hot Shutdown; Section 3.4.9.2 'iesidual Heat Removal Cold Shutdown; Section 4.8.1.1.2.h.2, Electrical Power Systerns ~ 'ources - Operating; Section 3/4.10.7, System Leakage and Hydrostatic Testing; Bases b/4.4.6, Pressure / Temperature Limits; Bases 3/4.10.7, System Leakage and Hydror atic Testing: Table 5.7.1-1, " Reactor Cyclic or Transient Limits and DLsign Cycle or Transient."

10CFR50.55a requires that the inservice inspections (ISI) and inservice tests (IST) conducted during successive 10-yeu intervals comply with the requirements in the latest edition and addenda of Section XI of the ASVi Beiler and Pressure Vessel Code that was in effect twelve months prior to the start of the 10-year interval. NMP2 will begin its second 10-year ISI/IST interval on April 5,1998. The effective edition of the ASME Code for this interval is the 1989 edition. Some terminology used in the present program is being changed in the second 10 year ISI/IST Program Plan to reflect the terminology changes from the 1983 edition of the ASME Code, which was used in the current interval, ,

to the 1989 edition. These changes do not represent a change to the inspections or tests performed under the ISI/IST Program. The proposed changes will ensure that TS reflect

} the correct 10CFR references and the terminology of the second NMP210-year ISI/IST prograrn.

Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation requests approval of this Application for Amendment for implementation on April 5,1998.

EVALUATION 10CFR50.55a requires that the inservice inspections and inservice tests cenducted during successive 10-year intervals comply with the requirements in the latest edition and addenda of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code that was in effect twelve months prior to the start of the 10-year interval. NMP2 will begin its second 10-year ISI/IST interval on April 5,1998. The effective adition of the ASME Code for this interval is the 1989 edition. Some terminology used in the present p ogram is being changed in the st.cond 10-year ISI/IST Program Plan to reflect the terminology changes Page 1 of 3

from tha 1983 edition of the ASME Code, which was used in the current interval, to the 1989 edition. These changes do not represent a change to the inspections or tests

, performed under the ISl/IST Program. The proposed revisions will ensure that TS reflect the 10CFR references and the terminology of the second NMP210-year ISI/IST program.

' This program will be written to address 10CFR50.55a(f) (for the IST program) and 10CFR50.55a(g) (for the ISI program!. This change in the applicable 10CFR sections is raflected in the proposed revision to Section 4.0.5.

The proposed revisions to Table 4.3.7.51 and Section 4.4.3.2.2 replace references to ASME Section XI with references to criteria in the IST Program. The IST Program is based on Section XI of the 1989 edition of the ASME Code, which hr.; been approved by the NRC.

The proposed revisions to Sections 3.4.9.1 and 3.4.9.2 add the phrase " system leakage" to notes that identify testing conditions when the shutdown cooling mode loop may be removed from service. This addition is not changing a condition for shutdown cooling, it is incorporating additional testing flexibility allowed by the Code. A Section XI code case of the 1989 edition of the ASME Code allcws the flexibility to perform either a hydrostatic test or a system leakage test. The test conditions and frequency are not being changed by this proposed revision.

l The proposed revision to Section 4.8.1.1.2.h.2 corrects a typographical error. This section

! references ASME Code Section ll;it should read Section XI.

The remaining proposed revisions are editorial changes to make the references to hydrostatic testing and leak testing conform to the terminology that will be used in the second 10-year ISI/IST program.

CONCLUSIONE The proposed changes will revise sections of the NMP2 TS to ensure that the TS reflect the references to 10CFR50.55a(f) and (g) as well as the terminology used in the NMP210-year ISI/IST program. These changes to the TS will not affect the inspections or tests performed under the ISI/IST program.

ANALYSIS No Slanificant Hazards Consideration l

10CFR50.91 requires that at the time a licensee requests an amendment, it must provide to the Commission its analysis using the standards in 10CFR50.92 concerning the issue of no significant hazards consideration. Therefore, in accordance with 10CFR50.91, the following analyses have been performed with respect to the requested change:

Ihe operation of Nine Mile Point Unit 2. In accordance wlth the orocosed amendment, will ag_tinvolve a sianificant increase in the orobability or conseauences of an accident Draviousiv evaluated.

The changes to the TS will ensure that TS reflect the correct 10CFR references and the terminology of the second NMP210-year ISI/IST program. The proposed revisions replace references to ASME Saction XI with references to criteria in the inservice Testing Program.

The performance of system leakage testing is added to notes that identify conditions when Page 2 of 3

th3 shutdown cooling mode loop may be removed from service. The other changas are cditorial changes only to ensure that TS refisct the sncond 10-year ISl/IST program. One

, of the changes corrects a typographical error. These proposed changes do not affect the inspections or tests performed under the ISI/IST Program and will not result in any changes to the plant. None of the precursors of previously evaluated accidents are affected and therefore, the probability of an accident previously evaluated is not incraased.

The changes will not affect the safety function of any equipment covered by the ISI/IST program. Therefore, these changes will not involve e significant increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The operation of Mine Mile Point Unit 2. In a.ccordance with the oronosed amendrnent, will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from snv accident previously evaluated.

The changes to the TS will ensure that TS reflect the correct 10CFR refercnces and the terminology of the second NMP210-year ISI/IST program. One of the changes corrects a typographical error. No physical modification of the plant is involved and no changes to the methods in "/b'ch plant systema are operated arc required. These changes do not affect the inspections or tests performed under the ISl/IST Program. The changes do not introduce any new failure modes or conditions that may create a new or different accident.

Therefore, the changes do nct by themselves create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident previously evaluated.

The operation of N!ne Miie Point Unit 2. In accordance with the proposed amendment, will not involve a sinnificant reduction in a marain of safety.

The changes to the T3 will ensure that TS reflect the correct 10CFR references and the terminology of the second NMP210-year ISI/IST program. One of the changes corrects a typographical error. No physical modification of the plant is involved and no changes to g the methods in which plant systems are operated are required. The changes do not adversel/ effect any physical barrier to the release of radiation to plant personnel or to the public. Thase changes do not affect the inspections or tests performed Lnder the ISI/lST Program. Therefore, these changes do not involve a reduction in a margin of safety.

Accordingly, the proposed changes do not present a significant hazards consideration.

- REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM

. 8? A cEE 3/a.4.6 'RE550RE/ TEMPERATURE LIMITS All components in the reactor coolant system are designed to withstand the effects of cyclic loads from temperature and pressure changes in the system.

Tnese cyclic loacs are introduced by normal load transients, reactor trips, and startup ano snutcown operations. The various categories of load cycles used for cesign purposes are provided in Section 3.9 of the FSAR. During startup ano shutcown, the rates of temperature and pressure enanges are limited so that tne maximum specified heatup and cooldown rates are consistent with the design assumptions and satisfy the stress limits for cyclic operation.

The operating limit curves of Figures 3.4.6.1-1 through 3.4.6.1-5 are aerived from the fracture toughness reauirements of 10CFR50, Appendtx G. and ASME Code Section III Appendix G. The curves are based on the RTN0t and stress Fracture intensity f actor information for the react

  • vessel components.

toughness limits and the casts for compliance are more fully discussed in FSAR Subsection 5.3.1.5 " Fracture Toughness."

The reactor vessel materials have been tested to determine their initial RT NOT. The results of these tests are shown in Bases Table 83/4.4.6-1.

Reactor operation and resultan*, ?ast neutron (E greater than i Mev) trradiation will cause an increase in the RTNOT. Thecefore, an adjusted reference temperature, based upon the fluence, copper content, and nickel

' content of the material can be predicted using Bases Figure 83/4.4.6-1 and the recomendations of RG 1.99, Revision 2. " Radiation Embrittlement of Reactor Vessel Materials."

The actual shift in RTNOT of the vessel material will be established periodically during operation by removing and evaluating trradiated spectrr.dns Since installed near the inside wall of the reactor vessel in the core area.

the neutron spectra at the specimens and vessel inside radius are essentially identical, the irradiated specimens can be used with confidence in predicting reactor vessel material transition temperature shift. The operating Ilmtt curves of Figures 3.4.6.1-1 through 3.4.6.1-5 shall be adjusted, as required, on the basis of the specimen data and recommendations of RG 1.99 Revision 2.

Data octained after removal of the first surveillance capsule will be used to adjust the fluence of Bases Figure 83/4.4.6-1.

The pressure-temperature limit lines shown in Figures 3.4.l.1-1 through 3.4.6.1-5 for $ r :T hydrostatic testing and testing for crtttcal  !

operations have been provided to assure compliance ith the minimum temperature requirements of Appendix G to 10CFR50. g g,, g g

  • The number of reactor vessel irradiation surveillance capsules and the

' frequencies for removing and testing the specimens in these capsules are provided in Table 4.4.6.1.3-1 to assure compliance with the requirements of Appendix H to 10CFR50.
