SUMMARY

OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 24, 1986 The staff met with the applicant on November 24, 1986, to discuss several Technical Specification issues. Participants are listed in the enclosure.

The first issue concerned inclusion of feedwater isolation on reactor trip and low T in the Technical Specifications (TS). The applicant stated that no cN81t was taken for this function in its safety analysis and in fact this was included in the analysis only to make the transient more severe. The staff explained that it views feedvater isolation on reactor trip and low T as a diverse engineered safety features actuation signal whichispart8Y9the solid state protection system. Because of this, it must remain in the TS. The staff also indicated that this issue was being reviewed on a generic basis.

The second item discussed was analog channel operational test on accumulator level and pressure alams. The applicant proposes to delete the TS require-ment for the test once every 31 days. This test is included as part of the TS-required channel calibration test every 18 months. The applicant also indicated that it verifies level and pressure every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> by actually reading level and pressure measurements rather than verifying the absence of this alarm as suggested by the Standard TS. Because of the enhanced 12-hour check, the staff indicated that such a change would be acceptable from a technical standpoint. However, the generic nature of this change requires additional staff coordination. The staff agreed to obtain feedback from other cognizant staff nerbers on the acceptability of such a change from the Standard TS.

The programatic requirements of RG 1.97 Category 2 and 3 instrumentation was also discussed. The applicant proposed to delete a requirement for including this instrumentation in the TS. The basis for this position includes unclear guidance in RG 1.97 regarding TS inclusion of Category 2 snd 3 instrumentation along with the fact that a comitment is in FSAR Section 7.5 to maintain this equipment. The staff responded that it believes the applicant is benefitting by being able to refer to a program for maintenance and limiting conditions of operation for this instrumentation in Section 6 of the TS which allows the applicant to incorporate its own surveillances, maintenance requirements and limiting conditions of operation. The apolicant expressed concern that it does not have a specific program for RG 1.97 Category 2 and ' instrumentation but rather that this instrumentation is incoroorated into the plant Planned 8612050066 861201 4 PDR ADOCK 0500 A

The applicant also asked the staff to call Region II regarding an item that had arisen at a Regional procedures audit concerning the safety status tronitoring panel and independent verification. The applicant also asked'for clarification on whether water in the spent fuel canal during initial core loading needed to be borated at 2000 ppm. The staff irdicated that this is not necessary for initial core loading and that a note at the bottom of the TS page would clarify this point.

The staff and applicant also discussed fuel oil storage tank accumulated water surveillance which the applicant proposes to do every 92 days rather than every 31 days.

The applicant stated that becau the tank is lo ated above the water table the only source of water in the nk is condens/ tion. The staff stated that because the applicant plans to foi ow the McG (re diesel fuel oil TS, it must rmove accumulated water on a 31 da' frequenc , consistent with the licGuire package.

The staff further indicated that the a plic nt has the option of following the Standard TS in this area and using a 9 da frequency or following the McGuire program and using a 31 day frequency. applicant said it would explore this option further but anticipated using the .cGuire program in its entirety.

The last iten discussed involved the r mov 1 of specific turbine overspeed protection surveillances from the TS. Howe er, the applicant's review of the Vogtle Final Draft TS indicated no pjcblem w'th the turbine overspeed protectinn surveillances as included. Therefop,thisisuewasnotfurtherdiscussed.
