ENCLOSURE 2 Description of Change Correct and update information in Tables 3.3-7 and 4.3-4 of technical specification 3.3.3.3.

Reason for Change As a result of typographical errors, an incorrectly specified maintenance schedule of seismic monitors, and an incorrectly specified measurement range of four seismic monitors, the information given in tables 3.3-7 and 4.3-4 of technical specification 3.3.3.3 is incorrect. The proposed change will correct these errors.

Justification for Change The elevations given in technical specification 3.3.3.3, tables 3.3-7 and 4.3-4, for seismic monitors 0-XE-52-82, 0-XR-52-83, and 0-XR-52-84 are in error. They are inconsistent with the as-built configurations and with other design drawings, which give the correct values. The proposed amendeent would carrect the erroneous values and put them in agreement with the actual elevation values and the values found in those design drawings.

Also, table 4.3-4 of technical specification 3.3.3.3 states that a channel functional test lu not necessary for monitor 0-XR-52-86. However, American Nuclear Society Standard 2.2 requires that a channel functional test be performed on all active instruments (instruments that require an outside power source) in six-month intervals (page B-10. Table 1). According to contract 76K6-820172, instrument 0-XR-52-86 was requisitioned with an uninterruptible power supply. Also, cognizant plant personnel have given confirmation that instrument 0-XR-52-86 does contain a switch and is in fact an active instrument, in agreement with the contract. Therefore, table 4.3-4 of technical specification 3.3.3.3 is amended to read SA (semiannual) for the channel functional test.

Another amendment that needs to be made to table 4.3-4 is the inclusion of a seismic trigger in the channel es11brations of instruments 0-XT-52-75A, 0-XT-52-75B. and 0-XR-52-77. As the table identifies, these instruments are time-history acceles.crophs. In the definition of a time-history accelerograph in Am <ican Nuclear Society Standard 2.2, paso B-5, a trigger is included as a component of the instrument. This necessitates the inclusion of the trigger under the channel calibration heading of table 4.3-4 for these instruments.

Finally, the measurement range of instruments 0-XR-52-86 88, and -89 is incorrectly specified. In paragraph four of the recommendation for -

award, memorandum number 1. of contecct 76K6-820172, the contractor identified that the uppor measure 3.ont range of recordor 0-XR-52-86 is 32g, in disagreement with the value of 904 given in table 3.3-7. This was apparently an oversight in the original technical specifications. In addition, all replacement reeds for all four monitors render the upper measurement value at 328 because of present vendor specifications. To

facilitate the inevitable incorporation of replacement reeds and/or replacement instruments (the upper value of which is also 328 ), Table 3.3-7 should be corrected to read 328 . This value is still many timos greater than the maximum expected seismic activity for Sequoyah. The proposed change would entor the correct value in Tablo 3.3-7 of technical specification 3.3.3.3.

i SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS EVALUATION i

f 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the i probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

I i No. The proposed corrections do not result in a change in current

} plant configuration. Rather, they correct table entries in a

! technical specification for hardware currently installed in the Plant. Therefore, the proposed corrections entail no increase in the

'l probability or consequences of an accidont that has been previously i evaluated.

i I J

l 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or j different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

No. The proposed changes do not affect normal operating procedures j or emergency operating instructions for the plant. The one change in operating limits that results from the corrections is the lowering of the upper limit on the measurement range of response-spectrum i a recorders to 32g. As stated in paragraph four of the recommendation  ;

i for award, memorandum number 1 of contract 76K6-820172, this limit

is still many times greater than the maximum expected g level for Sequoyah. Therefore, the proposed technical specification change '

j does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of  ;

accident from any accident previously evaluated. '

,l i

! 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in margin i of safety?

No. The proposed corrections actually increase the overall safety of  !

i the plant by correcting typographical errors, establishing a stricter  :

maintenance schedule for the monitors, and giving the true  !

]

j measurement range of seismic instrumentation. Therefore, the [

proposed corrections do not involve a significant reduction in a L margin of safety.  ;
