In a submittal dated March 3, 1987 Illinois Power Company (IP) requested: 1)a TS change related to the trip setpoint and allowable setpoint value for the reactor vessel low pressure instrumentation (LPCS and LPCI injection valve pressure); 2) a TS change related to the MSIV leakage control system; and

3) a TS change related to a table notation for the gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation. The staff requested clarification regarding the analytical limit used in determining the setpoint changes and the potential effects on the ECCS analyses for item 1 and corrections to proposed TS for items 2 and 3.

Enclosed are records of coordination from IP that provide the requested clarification and corrections.

Channes to CPS-TS re, U-600848 dated 3/3/87 Summarv Letter U-600848 Attachment page 5 of 23 presented changes to the CPS-TS. Mr. D.

Katze of NRC was concerned about changes to the analytical limit and the potential effects on the ECCS analysis.

I responded based on the 10CFR50.59 evaluation that this higher tolerance to radiation is required because of GE's revised setpoint methodology program. GE's past nethodology, for these transmitters and their associated trip units, based the setpoint on the LPCI system being required within 15 minutes of a I.0CA (Design Basis Event). At 15 minutes into the event, the integrated radiation dose, to the transmitter, is nowhere near the point that transmitter inaccuracy would cause LPCI misoperation. The revised methodology uses a more conservative basis for determining the setpoint by assuming a complete release'of fission products from a full-life core at time equal zero post-LOCA.

The upper analytical limit for setpoint determination is to prevent overpressurization of LPCI piping. The lower analytical limit is set to be consistent with the ECCS analysis in that LPCI will initiate in sufficient time to prevent core damage. This concern was analyzed for and found to be consistent with the CPS-Specific ECCS analysis.

Subject:

Setpoint Methodology Program: Change in Analytical Limit for Reactor Pressure Vessel - Low (LPCS and LPCI Injection Valve Permissive)

General Electric's Plant Performance Engineering Component assessed the impact of the updated analytical limits on the clinton LOCA analysis for subject valve permissive and has determined that, for the Design Basis Accident - recirculation -

suction line break with LPCI D/G failure (Reference Clinton FSAR Table 6.3-3), PCT will increase by 34 degrees F and the oxidation fraction will increase by 0.003. Since the PCT for the previous FSAR case is 2071 degrees F, there is sufficient margin available to the 2200 degrees F limit to absorb the increase resulting from the reanalysis.

Repe.rformance of the LOCA analysis was prompted by changes to three input parameters:

- Updated analytical limits for the LPCI and LPCS injection valve parminniva

- Updated analytical limits for level setpoints LL1, LL2 and LL3

- MOV closure time relaxations The Mov closure time relaxations contributed the largest share of the 34 degrees F PCT increase.

GE Licensing is processing a Licensing Action Notice (LAN) to inform Illinois Power of the need for an FSAR update to reflect the results of the reanalysis.

CPS Technical Soecifications (CPS-TS)

Summary In letter dated March 3, 1987 (U-600848), IP submitted changes to l CPS-TS. During meetings held with the NRC on March 10-11, 1987, I met with Messrs. B. Siegel, C. Schulten, J. Lee, and P. Hearn. The reviewers, Lee and Hearn, had minor comments and recommendations with respect to pages 11 (CPS-TS p. 3/4 3-104) and 15 (CPS,yTS p. 3/4 6 7) of the subject letter attachment. The NRC recommendstions attached are acceptable and will not constitute a change to the intent of the IP submittal.
