-I limitations of 110'F and 237 psig are based on the highest estimated RTNDT-f of +40'F and the preoperational system hydrostatic test pressure of -1312 psig.

The average metal temperature is assumed to be equal to or greater than the coolant temperature. The limitations include margins of 25 psi and 10'F for possible instrument error.

The requirements to perform leakage tests of systems outside of containment which could potentially contain radioactivity,were established by the NRC following TMI. Oconee performs the leak. test of LPI by establishing RCS pressure at about 300 psig and with LPI at this same pressure, checking for 1

leakage. Such a test is within the scope of testing upon which the curves

  • referenced in Specification 3.1.2.2 are based--that is, they are not routine evolutions, such as heatup and cooldown,.but rather infrequent leak tests conducted on a refueling outage basis. As such, the hydrostatic / leak test i \\

pressure-temperature limitations are applicable for the RCS when performing l,

leak tests of the LPI system.

The spray temperature difference is imposed to maintain the thermal stresses

)

at the pressurized spray line nozzle below the design limit.

The low temperature overprotection systems for Oconee consist of either j

deactivating both trains of high pressure injection or by having the' PORV l

operable with the condition of the RCS as specified.

If either of these j

is inoperable, the RCS nust be depressurized and a vent path equivalent to the PORV flow capability established.

~ STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF ASME CODE' CLASS 1, 2 AND 3 COMPONENTS Applicability Applies to the surveillance of the ASW Code Class 1, 2 and 3 components.

Objective

'To assure the= continued structural integrity of the ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 l

components.

t i

Specification 4.2.1 Inservice examination of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and.3 components shall be

},.

performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable addenda as required by 10 CFR 50, Section~

50.55a(g)(4), to the extent practicable within the limitations of design, 3

i geometry and materials of construction of the components, except where specific written relief has.been granted by the Connission.

i 4.2.2 To assure the structural integrity of the reactor internals throughout the life of the unit, the two sets of main internals bolts (connecting the core barrel to the core support shield and to the lower grid cylinder) shall remain in place and under tension.

This will be verified by visual inspec-tion to determine that the welded bolt locking caps remain in place. All locking caps will be inspected after hot functional testing and whenever j

the internals are removed from the vessel during a refueling or maintenance j

shutdown. The core barrel to core support shield caps will be inspected i

each refueling shutdown.

i i

l 4.2.3 At approximately three-year intervals, the bore and keyway of each-reactor coolant pump flywheel shall be subjected to an inplace, i

volumetric examination. Whenever maintenance or repair activities l

necessitate flywheel removal, a surface examination of exposed sur-

}

faces and a complete volumetric examination shall be performed if the interval measured from the previous such inspection is greater than t

6 2/3 years.

4.2.4 The reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens removed from Units 1, 2 and 3 reactor vessels in 1976 shall be installed, ir-radiated in and withdrawn from the Crystal River Unit 3 reactor vessel in accordance with the schedule shown in Table 4.2-1.

Following with-drawal of each capsule listed in Table 4.2-1. Duke Power Company shall be responsible for testing the specimens in those capsules and submit-ting a report of test results in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix H.

4.2.5 The licensee shall submit a report or application for license amendment to the NRC within 90 days after the occurrence of the following: After March 13,1978, any time that Crystal River Unit No. 3 fails to maintain a cumulative reactor utilization factor of greater than 45%.

The report shall provide justification for continued operation of Oconee Nuclear Station Units l', 2 and 3 with the reactor vessel surveil-lance program conducted at Crystal River Unit No. 3 or the application for license amendment shall propose an alternate program for conduct of the reactor vessel surveillance program.

6 4.2.6 The power operated relief valve (PORV) is used for low temperature overpressure protection of the RCS and shall be demonstrated operable by:

Performing an operability test prior to each startup from cold a.

shutdown.

b.

Performing a calibration of the actuation circuit each refueling outage.

c.

Performing an inspection of the PORV at least once every two refueling cycles.

4.2.7 Each shift, the RCS vent (s) (as defined in Specification 3.1.2.9) shall be verified to be open, if the vent (s) is(are) being used for overpressure protection.

If the vent pathway is provided with a valve which is locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the open position, then these valves will open at least once per 31 days.

Bases The surveillance program has been developed to comply with the applicable edition of Section XI and addenda of the ASPE Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Reactor Coolant Systems, as required by 10 CFR 50.55(a) to i

the extent practicable within limitations of design, geonetry and materials of construction. The program places major emphasis on the area of highest stress concentrations and on areas where fast neutron irradiation might be sufficient to change material properties.

Tne number of reactor vessel specimens and the frequencies for removing and testing these specimens are provided to assure compliance with the requirements of Appendix H to 10 CFR Part 50.

For the purpose of Technical Specification 4.2.5.

Cumulative reactor utilizatien factor is defined as: {(Cumulative thennal megawatt hours since attainment of commercial operation at 100% power) F 100) * {(licensed thennal power) x (cumula-tive hours since attainment of coninercial operation at 100% power)).

The defini-tion of Regulatory Guide 1.16, Revision 4 (August 1975) applies for the term "consnercial operation".
