i i O 2.1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES l 2.1.1 REACTOR CORE , The restrictions of this Safety Limit prevent overheating of the fuel 'I and possible cladding perforation that would result in the release of fission products to the reactor coolant. Overheating of the fuel claddim; is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the heat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface temperature is . slightly above the coolant saturation temperature. . J l Operation above the upper boundary of'the nucleate boiling regime could result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer coefficient. DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during operation and, therefore, THERMAL POWER and reactor coolant temperature and pressure have been ' related to DNB through the W-3 (R-Grid) correlation. The W-3 DNB correlation has been developed to predict the DNB flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and nonuniform heat flux distributions. The local DNB heat flux ratio (DNBR) is defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux and is indicative of the l margin to DNB.
; The minimum value of the DNBR during steady-state operation, normal
( operational transients, and anticipated transients is limited to 1.30. This value corresponds to a 95% probability at a 95% confidence level that DNB will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DNB for all operating conditions. The curves of Figure 2.1-1 show the loci of points of THERMAL POWER, Reactor Coolant System pressure, and average temperature for which the minimum DNBR is no less than 1.30, or the average enthalpy at the vessel exit is equal to the enthalpy of saturated liquid. These curves are based on an enthalpy hot channel factor, F g, of 1.55 and a reference cosine with a peak of 1.55 for axial power shape. An allowance is included for an increase in F g at reduced power based on the expression: F H = 1.55 [1+ 0.2 (1-P)] Where P is the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER. l These limiting heat flux conditions are higher than those calculated for I the range of all control rods fully withdrawn to the maximum allowable control rod insertion, assuming the axial power imbalance is within the limits of the f (al) function of the Overtemperature trip. When the axial power imbalance 3 r~% is not within the tolerance, the axial power imbalance effect on the Over-( temperature AT-trips will reduce the Setpoints to provide protection consistent N with core Safety Limits. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 2-1
i SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.2 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE The restriction of this Safety Limit protects the integrity of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) from overpressurization and thereby prevents the release of radionuclides contained in the reactor coolant from reaching the containment atmosphere. The reactor vessel, pressurizer, and the RCS piping, valves, and fittings are designed to Section III of the ASME Code for Nuclear Power Plants, which l permits a maximum transient pressure of 110% (2735 psig) of design pressure. The Safety Limit of 2735 psig is, therefore, consistent with the design criteria and associated Code requirements. The entire RCS is hydrotested at 125% (3110 psig) of design pressure to demonstrate integrity prior to initial operation. O 1 l l l SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 2-2

BASES 1 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS The Reactor Trip Setpoint Lfmits specified in Table 2.2-1 are the nominal values at which the Reactor trips are set for each functional unit. The Trip Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the core and Reactor Coolant System are prevented f rom exceeding their safety limits during normal operation and design-basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist the Engi- , neered Safety Features Actuation System in mitigating the consequences of j accidents. The Setpoint for a Reactor Trip System or interlock function is considered to be adjusted consistent with the nominal value when the "as-measured" Setpoint is within the band allowed for calibration accuracy. To accommodate the instrument drift assumed to occur between operational tests and the accuracy to which Setpoints can be measured and calibrated, Allowable Values for the Reactor Trip Setpoints have been specified in T able 2. 2-1. Operation with Setpoints less conservative than the Trip Set-point but within the Allowable Value is acceptable, since an allowance has been made in the safety analysis to accommodate this error. An optional provision has been included for determining the OPERABILITY of a channel when its Trip Setpoint is found to exceed the Allowable Value. The methodology of this option utilizes the "as measured" deviation from the specified calibration point for rcck and sensor components in conjunction with a statistical combin-i = ation of the other uncertainties of the instrumentation to measure the process variable and the uncertainties in calibrating the instrumentation. In Equa-tion 2.2-1, Z + R + 5 < TA, the interactive effects of the errors in the rack and the sensor, and the "as measured" values of the errors are considered. Z, as specified in Table 2.2-1, in percent span, is the statistical summation of errors assumed in the analysis excluding those associated with the sensor and rack drift and the accuracy of their measurement. TA or Total Allowance is t'se dif ference, in percent span, between the Trip Setpoint and the value used in the analysis for Reactor trip. R or Rack Error is the "as-measured" devia-tion, in percent span, for the affected channel from the specified Trip Set- , point. S or Sensor Error is either the "as-measured" deviation of the sensor f rom its calibration point or the value specified in Table 2.2-1, in percent ; span, from the analysis assumptions. Use of Equation 2.2-1 allows for a j sensor drift factor, an increased r w drift factor, and provides a threshold i value for REPORTABLE EVENTS. The methodology to derive the Trip Setpoints is based on combining all of the uncertainties in the channels. Inherent to the determination of the j Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensors and ) other instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of l operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Rack drift j l j in exc>5s of the Allowable Value exhibits the behavior that the rack has not met its allowance. Being that there is a small statistical chance that this I will happen, an infrequent excessive drift is expected. Rack or sensor drift, ) in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of j more serious problems and should warrant further investigation. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 2-3
i LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM 5:' TINGS BASES f 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued) The various Reactor trip circuits automatically open the Reactor trip breakers whenever a condition monitored by the Reactor Trip System reaches a preset or calculated level. In addition to redundant channels and trains, the design approach provides a Reactor Trip System which monitors numerous system - variables, therefore providing Trip System functional diversity. The functional ' capability at the specified trip setting is required for those anticipatory or i diverse Reactor trips for which no direct credit was assumed in the safety l analysis to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Trip System. The Reactor Trip System initiates a Turbine trip signal whenever Reactor trip is l initiated. This prevents the reactivity insertion that would otherwise result { from excessive Reactor Coolant System cooldown and thus avoids unnecessary actuation of the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System. Manual Reactor Trip The Reactor Trip System includes manual Reactor trip capability. Power Range, Neutron Flux In each of the Power Range Neutron Flux channels there are two independent i bistables, each with its own trip setting used for a High and Low Range trip ! setting. The Low Setpoint trip provides protection during subcritical and low power operations to mitigate the consequences of a power excursion beginning from low power, and the High Setpoint trip provides protection during power operations tn mitigate the consequences of a reactivity excursion from all power levels. The Low Setpoit.t trip may be manually blocked above P-10 (a power level of approximately 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER) and is automatically reinstated i below the P-10 Setpoint. ! Power Range, Neutron Flux, High Rates i The Power Range Positive Rate trip provides protection a:;uinst rapid flux increases which are characteristic of a rupture of a control rod drive housing. I Specifically, this trip complements the Power Range Neutron Flux High and Low l trips to ensure that the criteria are met for rod ejection from mid power. The Power Range Negative Rate trip provides protection for control rod drop accidents. At high power, a single or multiple rod drop accident could cause local flux peaking which could cause an unconservative local DNBR to exist. The Power Range Negative Rate trip will prevent this from occurring by tripping the reactor. No credit is taken for operation of the Power Range Negative Rate trip for those control rod drop accidents for which DNBRs will be greater than 1.30. O SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 2-4 1
l 1 J LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS , BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued) Intermediate and Source Range, Ncutron Flux The Intermediate and Source Range, Neutron Flux trips provide core protection during reactor startup to mitigate the consequences of an uncon-trolled rod cluster control assembly bank withdrawal from a subcritical condition. These trips provide redundant protection to the Low Setpoint trip of the Power Range, Neutron Flux channels. The Source Range channels will initiate a Reactor trip at about 10 counts per second unless manually blocked 5 I when P-6 becomes active. The Intermediate Range channels will initiate a Reactor trip at a current level equivalent to approximately 25% of RATED , THERMAL POWER unless manually blocked when P-10 becomes active. Overtemperature AT The Overtemperature AT trip provides core protection to prevent DNB for all combinations of pressure, power, coolant temperature, and axial power distribu-tion, provided that the transient is slow with respect to piping transit delays from the core to the temperature' detectors (about 4 seconds), and pressure is within the range between the Pressurizer High and Low Pressure' trips. The Set-point is automatically varied with: (1) coolant temperature to correct for temperature induced changes in density and heat capacfty of water and includes dynamic compensation for piping delays from the core to the loop temperature detectors, (2) pressurizer pressure, and (?) axial power distribution. With normal axial power distribution, this Reactor trip limit is'always below the ' core Safety Limit as shown in Figure 2.1-1. If axial peaks are' greater than. l t design, as indicated by the difference between top and bottom power range nuclear detectors, the Reactor trip is automatically reduced according to the notations in Table 2.2-1. Overpower AT i i The Overpower AT trip provides assurance of fuel integrity (e.g., no fuel pellet melting and less than 1% cladding strain) under all possible overpower conditions, limits the required range for Overtemperature AT , trip, and provides a backup to the High Neutron Flux trip. The Setpoint i is automatically varied with: (1) coolant temperature to correct'for tempera- I ture induced ~ changes in density and heat capacity of water, and (2) rate of , L change of temperature fer dynamic compensation for piping delays from the core ) I to the loop temperature detectors, to ensure that the allowable heat genera- l tion rate (kW/ft) is not exceeded. The Overpower AT trip provides protection ; to mitigate the consequences of various size steam breaks as reported in WCAP-9226, " Reactor Core Response to Excessive Secondary Steam Releases." SEABROOK - UNIT 1 - B 2-5
I l LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS ) BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued) Pressurizer Pressure l In each of the pressurizer pressure channels, there are two independent bistables, each with its own trip setting to provide for a High and Low Pressure trip, thus limiting the pressure range in which reactor operation is permitted. The Low Setpoint trip protects against low pressure that could lead to DNB by tripping the reactor in the event of a loss of reactor coolant pressure. On decreasing power the Low Setpoint trip is automatically blocked by P-7 (a power level of approximately 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER with turbine impulse chamber pressure at approximately 10% of full power equivalent); and on increasing power, automatically reinstated by P-7. The High Setpoint trip functions in conjunction with the pressurizer relief and safety valves to protect the Reactor Coolant System against system overpressure. Pressurizer Water Level The Pressurizer High Water Level trip is provided to prevent water relief through the pressurizer safety valves. On decreasing power, the Pressurizer High Water Level trip is automatically blocked by P-7 (a power level of approxi-mately 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER with a turbine impulse chamber pressure at approximately 10% of full power equivalent); and on increasing power, the Pressurizer High Water Level trip is automatically reinstated by P-7. l Reactor Coolant Flow The Low Reactor Coolant Flow trips provide core protection to prevent DNB j by mitigating the consequences of a loss of flow resulting from the loss of { one or more reactor coolant pumps. 1 On increasing power above P-7 (a power level of approximately 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER or a turbine impulse chamber pressure at approximately 10% of full power equivalent), an automatic Reactor trip will occur if the flow in more than one loop drops below 90% of nominal full loop flow. Above P-8 (a power level of approximately 50% of RATED THERMAL POWER), an automatic Reactor trip will occur if the flow in any single loop drops below 90% of nominal full loop flow. Conversely, on decreasing power between P-8 and the P-7, an automatic Reactor trip will occur on low reactor coolant flow in more than one loop and below P-7 the trip function is automatically blocked. Steam Generator Water Level The Steam Generator Water Level Low-Low trip protects the reactor from , loss of heat sink in the event of a sustained steam /feedwater flow mismatch = ' resulting f rom loss of normal feedwater. The specified Setpoint provides allowances for starting delays of the Emergency Feedwater System. 1 SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 2-6 1
em LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS (v) BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTh0 MENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued) j l Undervoltage and Underfrequency - Reactor Coolant Pump Busses j i The Undervolta.ge and Underf requency Reactor Coolant Pump Bus trips pro-vide core protection against DNB as a result of complete loss of forced coolant i flow. The specified Setpoints assure a Reactor trip signal is generated before the Low Flow Trip Setpoint is reached. Time delays are incorporated in . the Underfrequency and Undervoltage trips to prevent spurious Reactor trips from momentary electrical power transients. For undervoltage, the delay is set so that the time required for a signal to reach the Reactor trip breakers following the simultaneous trip of two or more reactor coolant pump bus circuit breakers shall not exceed 1.2 seconds. For underfrequency, the delay is set so that the time required for a signal to reach the Reactor trip breakers after the Underfrequency Trip Setpoint is reached shall not exceed 0.3 second. On decreasing power the Undervoltage and Underf requency Reactor Coolant Pump l Bus trips are automatically blocked by P-7 (a power level of approximately 10% 1 of RATED THERMAL POWER with a turbine impulse chamber pressure at approximately 10% of full power ec;uivalent); and on increasing power, the Undervoltage and Underfrequency Reactor Coolant Pump Bus trips are reinstated automatically l by P-7. 5 Turbine Trip A Turbine trip initiates a Reactor trip. On decreasing power, the Reactor trip from the Turbine trip is automatically blocked by P-9 (a power level of approximately 20% of RATED THERMAL POWER); and on increasing power, the Reactor trip from the Turbine trip is reinstated automatically by P-9. Safety Injection Input from ESF j If a Reactor trip has not already been generated by the Reactor Trip 4 System instrumentation, the ESF automatic actuation logic channels will initiate I a Reactor trip upon any signal which initiates a Safety Injection. The ESF l instrumentation channels that initiate a Safety Injection signal are shown in j Table 3.3-3. l l Reactor Trip System Interlocks The Reactor Trip System interlocks perform the following functions: P-6 On increasing power, P-6 allows the manual block of the Source Range trip (i.e., prevents premature block of Source Range trip). On dec-reasing power, Source Range Level trips are automatically reactivated and high voltage is restored.

1 i l l i i i l 1 i i NOTE The BASES contained in succeeding pages summarize the reasons for the Specifications in Sections 3.0 O and 4.0, but in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36 are not part of these Technical Specifications. l l l c,
I 3/4 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS O 3/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES Specification 3.0.1 through 3.0.4 ectablish the general requirements applicable to Limiting Conditions for Operation. These requirements are based ! on the requirements for Limiting Conditions for Operation stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2):
" Limiting conditions for operation are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When a limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor is not-met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specification until the condition can be met."
Specification 3.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement within each individual specification as the requirement for when (i.e., in which OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions) conformance to the Limiting Conditions for Operation is required for safe operation of the facility. The ACTION requirements establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified time limits wnen the requirements of a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met. There are two basic types of ACTION requirements. The first specifies the e remedial measures that permit continued operation of the facility which is not further restricted by the time limits of the ACTION requirements. In this case, conformance to the ACTION requirements provides an acceptable level of safety for unlimited continued operation as long as the ACTION requirements continue to be met. The second type of ACTION requirement specifies a time limit in which conformance to the conditions of the Limiting Condition for Operation must be met. This time limit is the allowable outage time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or for restoring parameters within specified limits. If these actions are not completed within the allowable cutage time limits, a shutdown is requiced to place the facility in a MODE or condition in which the specification no longer applies. It is not intended that the shutdown ACTION requirements be used as an operational convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of a system (s) or component (s) from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. The specified time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from the point in time it is identified that a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. The time limits of the ACTION requirements are also applicable when a system or component is removed from service for surveillance testing or investigation of operational problems. Individual specifications may include a specified time limit for the completion of a Surveillance Requirement when equipment is removed from service. In this case, the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable when this limit expires if the surveillance has not been completed. When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the plant may have entered a MODE in which a new specification becomes applicable. In this case, the time limits of the O ACTION requirements would apply from the point in time that the new specifica-tion becomes applicable if the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-1
3/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES O Specification 3.0.2 establishes that noncompliance with a specification exists w1en the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and the associated ACTION requirements have not been implemented within the specified time interval. The purpose of this specification is to clarify that (1) implementation of the ACTION requirements within the specified time interval constitutes compliance with a specification and (2) completion of the remedial measures of the ACTION requirements is not required when compliance with a Limiting Condition of Operation is restored within the time interval specified in the associated ACTION requirements. Specification 3.0.3 establishes the shutdown ACTION requirements that must be implemented when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met and the condition is not specifically addressed by the associated ACTION l requirements. The purpose of this specification is to delineate the time limits for placing the unit in a safe shutdown MODE when plant operation cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation defined by the Limiting Conditions for Operation and its ACTION requirements. It is not intended to be used as an operational convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of redundant systems or components from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. One hour is allowed to prepare for an orderly shutdown before initiating a change in plant operation. This time permits the operator to coordinate the reduction in electrical generation with the load dispatcher to ensure the stability and availability of the electrical grid. The time limits specified to reach lower MODES of operation permit the shutdown to proceed in a controlled an orderly manner that is well within the specified maximum cooldown rate and within the cooldown capabilities of the facility assuming only the minimum required equipment is OPERABLE. This reduces thermal stresses on components of the primary coolant system and the potential for a plant upset that could challenge safety systems under conditions for which this specification applies. If remedial measures permitting limited continued operation of the facility under the provisions of the ACTION requirements are completed, the shutdown may be terminated. The time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from the point in time there was a failure to meet a Limiting Condition for Operation. Therefore, the shutdown may be terminated if the ACTION requirements have been met or the time limits of the ACTION requirements have not expired, tnus providing an allowance for the completion of the required actions. The time limits of Specification 3.0.3 allow 37 hours for the plant to be in the COLD SfiUTDOWN MODE when a shutdown is required during the POWER MODE of operation. If the plant is in a lower MODE of operation when a shutdown is required, the time limit for reaching the next lower MODE of operation applies. However, if a lower MODE of operation is reached in less time than allowed, the total allowable time to reach COLD SHUTDOWN, or other applicable MODE, is not reduced. For example, if HOT STANDBY is reached in 2 hours, the time allowed to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is the next 11 hours because the total time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 hours. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-2
i W 3/4.0 APPLICABILITY l U BASES l Therefore, if remedial measures are completed that would permit a return to POWER operation, a penalty is not incurred by having to reach a lower MODE of operation in less than the total time allowed. l .The same principle applies with regard to the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements, if compliance with the ACTION requirements for one specification results in entry into a MODE or condition of operation for another specification in which the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met. _If the new specification becomes applicable in less time than specified, the difference may be added to the allowable outage time limits of the second specification. However, the allowable outage time limits of ACTION requirements for a higher MODE of operation may not be used to extend the allowable outage time-that is applicable when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met in a lower MODE of operation. The shutdown requirements of Specification 3.0.3 do not apply in MODES 5 and 6, because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be taken. Specification 3.0.4 establishes-limitations on MODE changes when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility in a 6 higher MODE of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to.these conditions would result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements if a change in MODES were permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that higher MODES of operation are not entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parameters to specified limits. Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation without regard to the status of the plant before or after a' MODE change. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition may be made in accordance with the provisions of the ACTION requirements. The provisions of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before plant startup. When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions of Specification 3.0.4 do not apply because they would delay placing the facility in a lower MODE of operation. Specifications 4.0.1 through 4.0.5 establish tha general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3):
" Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions of operation will be met."
SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-3
3/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES 9 ! Specification 4.0.1 establishes the requirement that surveillance must be performed during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that surveillance are performed to verify the operational status of systems and components and that parameters are within specified limits to ensure safe operation of the facility when the plant is in a MODE or other specified condition for which the associated Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable. Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed when the facility is in an OPERATIONAL MODE for which the requirements of the associated Limiting Condition for Operation do not apply unless otherwise specified. The Surveillance Requirements associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Exception is used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a specification. Specification 4.0.2 establishes the conditions under which the specified time interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended. Item a. permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the surveillance; e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activitie:,. Item b. limits the use of the provisions of item a. to ensure that it is not used repeatedly to extend the surveillance interval beyond that specified. The limits of Specification 4.0.2 are based on engineering judgment and the recog-nition that the most probable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance witn the Surveillance Require-ments. These provisions are sufficient to ensure that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance interval. Specification 4.0.3 establishes the failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Conditions for Operation. Under the provisions of this specification, systems and components are assumed to be OPERABLE when Surveillance Requirements have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval. However, nothing in this provision is to be construed as implying that systems or components are OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements. This specification also clarifies that the ACTION requirements are applicable when Surveillance Requirements have not been completed within the allowed surveillance interval and that the time limits of the ACTION requirements apply from the point in time it is identified that a surveillance has not been performed and not et the time that the allowed surveillance interval was exceeded. Completion of the Surveillance Requirement within the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements restores compliance with the requirements of Specification 4.0.3. However, this does not negate the fact that the failure to have performed the surveil-lance within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, was a violation of the OPERABILITY requirements of a Limiting Condition for Operation that is subject to enforcement action.

1 3/4.0 APPLICABILITY V BASES Further, the failure to perform a surveillance within the provisions of Speci- 1 fication 4.0.2 is a violation of a Technical Specification requirement and is', I therefore, a reportable event'under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) because:it is a condition prohibited by thc' plant's Technical Specifications. If the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are less than 24 hours or a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, e.g., Specification 3.0.3, a.24-hour allowance is provided to permit a-delay in-implementing the ACTION. requirements. This provides an adequate' time limit to
' complete-Surveillance Requirements that have not been performed. The purpose of this allowance is to permit the completion of a surveillance before a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements or before other remedial measures would be required that may preclude completion of a surveillance. The_ basis for this allowance includes consideration for plant
. conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time required to perform the surveillance, and the safety significance of the delay in completing the required surveillance. This provision also provides a time limit.for the completion of Surveillance Requirements that become applicable as a consequence of MuDE changes imposed by ACTION requirements and for completing Surveillance Requirements that are applicable when an exception to the requirements of Specification 4.0.4 is allowed. If a surveillance is not completed within the 24-hour allowance, the time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable at that time. When a surveillance is performed within the 24-hour allowance and the Surveillance Requirements are not met, the time-limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable at the time that the surveillance is terminated.
Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment because the ACTION requirements define the remedial measures that apply. However, the Surveillance Requirements have to be met to demonstrate that l inoperable equipment has been restored to OPERABLE status. l Specification 4.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable surveillance must be met before entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other condition of operation specified in the Applicability statement. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that system and component OPERABILITY requirements or parameter limits are met before entry into a MODE or condition for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the facility. This provision applies to changes in OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions associated with plant shutdown as well as startup. Under the provisions of this specification, the applicable Surveillance Requirements must be performed within the specified surveillance interval to ensure that the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met during initial plant startup or following a plant outage. When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions of Specification 4.0.4 do not apply because this would delay placing the facility in a lower MODE of operation.

3/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES O Specification 4.0.5 establishes the requirement that inservice inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components and inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with a periodically updated version of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a. These requirements apply except when relief has been provided in writing by the Commission. This specification includes a clarification of the frequencies for performing the inservice inspection and testing activities required by Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. This clarification is provided to ensure consistency in surveillance intervals throughout the Technical Specifications and to remove any ambiguities relative to the frequencies for performing the required inservice inspection and testing activities. Under the terms of this specification, the more restrictive requirements of the Technical Specifications take precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. The requirements of Specification 4.0.4 to perform surveillance activities before entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows pumps and valves to be tested up to one week after return to normal operation. The Technical Specification definition of OPERABLE does not allow a grace period before a component, that is not l capable of performing its specified function, is declared inoperable and takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows a valve to be incapable of performing its specified function for up to 24 hours before being declared inoperable. l l 9 SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-6 i ___ - - - _ _ .____-- ------_---a
r^x 3/4.1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES _ 3/4.1.1 B0 RATION CONTROL I' 3/4.1.1.1 and 3/4.1.1.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that: (1) the reactor can be made subtritical from all operating conditions, (2) the reactivity transients asso-ciated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and (3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subtritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition. SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T avg. The most restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with T,yg at no-load operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled RCS cooldown. In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.3% Ak/k is required to control the reactivity transient. Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions. With T avg less than 200 F, the reactivity transients resulting from a postulated steam p line break cooldown are minimal. A 1.2% Ak/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN and a baron concentration of greater than 2000 ppm are required to permit suf ficient time sQ for the operator to terminate an inadvertent boron dilution event with T avg less than 200 F. 3/4.1.1.3 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT The limitations on moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) are provided ! to ensure that the value of this coefficient remains within the limiting condition assumed in the FSAR accident and transient analyses. l The MTC values of this specification are applicable to a specific set of plant conditions; accordingly, verification of MTC values at conditions other than those explicitly stated will require extrapolation to those conditions in order to permit an accurate comparison. The most negative MTC, value equivalent to the most positive moderator density coefficient (MDC), was obtained by incrementally correcting the MDC used in the FSAR analyses to nominal operating conditions. These corrections involved subtracting the incremental change in the MDC associated with a core condition of all rods inserted (most positive MDC) to an all rods withdrawn condition and, a conversion for the rate of change of moderator density with temperature at RATED THERMAL POWER conditions. This value of the MDC was then transformed into the limiting MTC value -4.2 x 10 4 Ak/k/ F. The MTC value o f -3. 3 x 10 4 Ak/k/ F represents a conservative value (with corrections for burnup and soluble boron) at a core condition of 300 ppm equilibrium boron
!p) concentration and is obtained by making these corrections to the limiting MTC
(/ value of -4.2 x 10 4 Ak/k/ F. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-1
REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES O 1 B0 RATION CONTROL 3/4.1.1.3 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (Continued) The Surveillance Requirements for measurement of the MTC at the beginning and near the end of the fuel cycle are adequate to confirm that the MTC remains within its limits since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup. 3/4.1.1.4 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 551 F. This limitation is required to ensure: (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range, (2) the trip instrumentation is within its normal operating range, (3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and (4) the reactor vessel is above its minimum RT temperature. NDT 3/4.1.2 B0 RATION SYSTEMS The Boron Injection System ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to perform this function include: (1) borated water sources, (2) charging pumps, (3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid transfer pumps, and (5) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators. With the RCS in MODES 1, 2, or 3, a minimum of two boron injection flow paths are required to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders t,ne of the flow paths inoperable. The boration capability of either flow path is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions of 1.3% ak/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200 F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at LOL from full power equilibrium xenon conditions and requires 22,000 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or a minimum contained volume of 477,000 gallons of 2000 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank (RWST). The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pump to be OPERABLE and the Surveillance Requirement to verify all charging pumps except the required OPERABLE pump to be inoperable in MODES 4, 5, and 6 provides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by operation of a single PORV or an RHR suction relief valve. As a result of this, only one boron injection system is available. This is acceptable on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor, the emergency power supply requirement for the OPERABLE charging pump and the I additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity changes in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-2
l (~ REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS l L}) BASES 3/4.1.2 B0 RATION SYSTEMS (Continued) The boron capability required below 200 F is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.2% Ak/k after xenon decay and cooldown from 200 F to 140 F. This condition requires a minimum contained volume of 6500 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or a minimum contained volume of 24,500 gallons of 2000 ppm borated water from the RWST. The contained water volume limits include allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 8.5 and 11.0 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride end caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems W components. The OPERABILITY oi one Boron Injection System during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.
,m The limitations on OPERABILITY of isolation provisions for the Boron
\ Thermal Regeneration System and the Reactor Water Makeup System in Modes 3, 4,

\ 5, and 6 ensure that the boron dilution flow rates cannot exceed the value assumed in the transient analysis.
3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES The specifications of this section ensure that: (1) acceptable power distri-bution limits are maintained, (2) the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN is maintained, and (3) the potential effects of rod misalignment on associated accident analyses are limited. OPERABILITY of the control rod position indicators is required to determine control rod positions and thereby ensure compliance with the control rod alignment and insertion limits. Verification that the Digital Rod Position Indicator agrees with the demanded position within i 12 steps at 24, 48, 120, and 228 steps withdrawn for the Control Banks and 18, 210, and 228 steps with-drawn for the Shutdown Banks provides assurances that the Digital Rod Position Indicator is operating correctly over the full range of indication. Since the Digital Rod Position Indication System does not indicate the actual shutdown rod position between 18 steps and 210 steps, only points in the indicated ranges are picked for verification of agreement with demanded position. The ACTION statements which permit limited variations from the basic i requirements are accompanied by additional restrictions which ensure that the original design criteria are met. Misalignment of a rod requires measurement of peaking f actors and a restriction in THERMAL POWER. These restrictions pro-vide assurance of fuel rod integrity during continued operation. In eddition, f those safety analyses affected by a misaligned rod are reevaluated to confirm , ( that the results remain valid during future operation. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-3 t . . .

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES (Continued) The maximum rod drop time restriction is consistent with the assumed rod drop time used in the safety analyses. Measurement with T greater than or avg equal to 551 F and with all reactor coolant pumps operating ensures t1at the measured drop times will be representative of insertion times experienced during a Reactor trip at operating conditions. Control rod positions and OPERABILITY of the rod position indicators are required to be verified on a nominal basis of once per 12 hours with more fre-quent verifications required if an automatic monitoring channel is inoperable. These verification frequencies are adequate for assuring that the applicable LCOs are satisfied. For Specification 3.1.3.1 ACTIONS b. and c., it is incumbent upon the plant to verify the trippability of the inoperable control rod (s). Trippability is defined in Attachment C to a letter dated December 21, 1984, from E. P. Rahe (Westinghouse) to C. O. Thomas (NRC). This may be by verification of a control system failure, usually electrical in nature, or that the failure is associated with the control rod stepping mechanism. In the event the plant is unable to verify the rod (s) trippability, it must be assumed to be untrippable and thus falls under the requirements of ACTION a. Assuming a controlled shutdown from 100% RATED THERMAL POWER, this allows approximately 4 hours for this verification. O SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-4
3/4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS ( BASES-l The specifications of this section provide assurance of fuel integrity during Condition I (Normal Operation) and.II (Incidents of Moderate Frequency) events by: (1) maintaining the minimum DNBR in the core greater than or equal to 1.30 during normal operation and in short-term transients, and (2) limiting the fission gas release, fuel pellet temperature, and cladding mechanical properties to within assumed design criteria. In addition, limiting the peak linear power density during Condition I events provides assurance that the initial conditions assumed for the LOCA analyses are met and the ECCS acceptance criteria limit of 2200 F is not exceeded. The definitions of certain hot channel and peaking factors as used in these specifications are as follows: F9 (Z) Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the maximum local heat flux on the surface of a fuel rod at core elevation Z divided by the average fuel rod heat flux, allowing for manufacturing tolerances on fuel pellets and rods; F H Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the ratio of the integral of linear power along the rod with the highest integrated power to the average rod power; and Radial Peaking Factor, is defined as the ratio of peak power density FxY(Z) to average power density in the horizontal plane at core elevation Z. 3/4.2.1~ AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE The limits on AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) assure that the Fn (Z) upper bound envelope of 2.32 times the normalized axial peaking factor is not exceeded dur-ing either normal operation or in the event of xenon redistribution following power changes. Target flux difference is determined at equilibrium xenon conditions. The full-length rods may be positioned within the core in accordance with their respective insertion limits and should be inserted near their normal position for steady-state operation at high power levels. The value of the target flux difference obtained under these conditions divided by the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER is the target flux difference at RATED THERMAL POWER for the associated core burnup conditions. Target flux differences for other THERMAL POWER levels are obtained by multiplying the RATED THERMAL POWER value by the appropriate fractional THERMAL POWER level. The periodic updating of the target flux difference value is necessary to reflect core burnup considerations. Although it is intended that the plant will be operated with the AFD within the target band required by Specification 3.2.1 about the target flux difference, during rapid plant THERMAL POWER reductions, control rod motion will cause the AFD to deviate outside of the target band at reduced THERMAL POWER levels. This deviation will not affect the xenon redistribution sufficiently to change the envelope of peaking factors which may oe reached on a subsequent return to SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 2-1
POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES O 3/4.2.1 AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (Continued) RATED THERMAL POWER (with the AFD within the target band) provided the time duration of the deviation is limited. Accordingly, a 1-hour penalty deviation limit cumulative during the previous 24 hours is provided for operation outside of the target band but within established limits while at THERMAL POWER levels between 50% and 90% of RATED THERMAL POWER. For THERMAL POWER levels between 15% and 50% of RATED THERMAL POWER, deviations of the AFD outside of the target band are less significant. The penalty of 2 hours' actual time reflects this reduced significance. Provisions for monitoring the AFD on an automatic basis are derived from the plant process computer through the AFD Monitor Alarm. The computer deter-mines the 1-minute average of each of the OPERABLE excore detector outputs and provides an alarm message immediately if the AFD for two or more OPERABLE excore channels are outside the target band and the THERMSL POWER is greater than 90% of RATED THERMAL POWER. During operation at THExMAL POWER levels between 50% and 90% and between 15% and 50% RATED THERMAL POWER, the computer outputs an alarm message when the penalty deviation accumulates beyond the limits of 1 hour and 2 hours, respectively. 3/4.2.2 and 3/4.2.3 HEAT FLUX H0T CHANNEL FACTOR and NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE ! HOT CHANNEL FACTOR The limits on heat flux hot channel factor and nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor ensure that: (1) the design limits on peak local power density and minimum DNBR are not exceeded and (2) in the event of a LOCA, the peak fuel clad temperature will not exceed the 2200 F ECCS acceptance criteria limit. Each of these is measurable but will normally only be determined periodically as specified in Specifications 4.2.2 and 4.2.3. This periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the limits are maintained provided:
- a. Control rods in a single group move together with no individual rod insertion differing by more than i 12 steps, indicated, from the group demand position;
- b. Control rod groups are sequenced with overlapping groups as described in Specification 3.1.3.6;
- c. The control rod insertion limits of Specifications 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 are maintained; and
- d. The axial power distribution, expressed in terms of AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE, is maintained within the limits.

Fuel rod bowing reduces the value of DNBR. Credit is available to offset this reduction in the generic margin. The generic margins, totaling 9.1% DNBR completely offset any rod bow penalties. This margin includes the following:
- a. Design limit DNBR of 1.30 vs. 1.28,
- b. Grid spacing (K3 ) of 0.046 vs. 0.059,
- c. Thermal diffusion coefficient of 0.038 vs. 0.059,
- d. DNBR multiplier of 0.86 vs. 0.88, and 7 e. Pitch reduction.
\ The applicable values of rod bow penalties are referenced in the FSAR.
When an qF -measurement is taken, an allowance for both experimental error and manufacturing tolerance must be made. An allowance of 5% is appropriate for a full-core map taken with the Incore Detector Flux Mapping System, and a 3% allowance is appropriate for manufacturing tolerance. The Radial Peaking Factor, Fxy(Z), is measured periodically to provide assurance that the Hot Channel Factor, F (Z), remains within its limit. The F xy limit for RATED THERMAL POWER (F P)9as provided in the Radial Peaking Factor. Limit Report per Specification 6.8.1.6 was determined from expected power control maneuvers over the full range of burnup conditions in the core. When RCS F g is measured, no additional allowances are necessary prior to comparison with the established limit of a measurement error of 4% for F H has been allowed for in determination of the design DNBR value. 3/4.2.4 QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO l The purpose of this specification is to detect gross changes in core power distribution between monthly incore flux maps. During normal operation the QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO is set equal to zero once acceptability of core f.[m peaking factors has been established by review of incore maps. The limit of
' 1.02 is established as an indication that the power distribution has changed ;
enough to warrant further investigation. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 2-3
POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES O 3/4.2.5 DNB PARAMETERS The limits on the DNB-related parameters assure that each of the parameters is maintained within the normal steady-state envelope of operation assumed in the transient and accident analyses. The limits are consistent with the initial FSAR assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain a minimum DNBR of 1.30 throughout each analyzed transient. Operating procedures include allowances for measurement and indication uncertainty so that the limits of 594.3 F for T,yg and 2205 psig for pressurizer are not exceeded. The measurement error of 2.1% for RCS total flow rate is based upon per-forming a precision heat balance and ming the result to normalize the RCS flow rate indicators. Potential fouling of the feedwater venturi which might not be detected could bias the result from the precision heat balance in a noncon-servative manner. Therefore, a penalty of 0.1% for undetected fouling of the feedwater venturi is applied. Any fouling hich might bias the RCS flow rate measurement greater than 0.1% can be detect .1 by monitoring and trending vari-ous plant performance parameters. If detected, action shall be taken before performing subsequent precision heat balance measurements, i.e., either the effect of the fouling shall be quantified and compensated for in the RCS flow rate measurement or the venturi shall be cleaned to eliminate the fouling. The 12-hour periodic surveillance of these parameters through instrument readout is sufficient to ensure that the parameters are restored within their limits following load changes and other expected transient operation. The periodic surveillance of indicated RCS flow is sufficient to detect only flow degradation which could lead to operation outside the specified limit. O SEABROOK - UNIT I B 3/4 2-4
e 3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION ] s BASES 3/4.3.1 and 3/4.3.2 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM and ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the Reactor Trip System and the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System instrumentation and interlocks ensures that: (1) the associated ACTION and/or Reactor trip will be initiated when the parameter monitored by each channel or combination _thereof reaches its Setpoint (2) the specified coincidence logic is maintained, (3) sufficient redundancy is main-tained to permit a channel to be out-of-service for testing or maintenance, ' and (4) sufficient system functional capability is available from diverse parameters. The OPERABILITY of these systems is required to provide the overall reliability, redundancy, and diversity assumed available in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions. The integrated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. The Surveillance Requirements speci-fied for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is maintained comparable to the original design standards. The periodic surveil-
' lance tests performed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.
Specified surveillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage times have been determined in accordance with WCAP-10271, " Evaluation of Sur-veillance Frequencies and Out of Service Times for the Reactor Protection In-strumentation System," and supplements to that report. Surveillance intervals and out of service times were determined based on maintaining an appropriate level of reliability of the Reactor Protection System and Engineered Safety Features instrumentation. (Implementation of quarterly testing of RTS is being postponed until after approval of a similar testing interval for ESFAS.) The NRC Safety Evaluation Report for WCAP-10271 was provided in a letter dated February 21, 1985, from C. O. Thomas (NRC) to J. J. Sheppard (WOG-CP&L). The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation Trip Set-points specified in Table 3.3-4 are the nominal values at which the bistables are set for each functional unit. A Setpoint is considered to be adjusted consistent with the nominal value when the "as measured" Setpoint is within the band allowed for calibration accuracy. To accommodate the instrument drift assumed to occur between operational tests and the accuracy to which Setpoints can be measured and calibrated, Allowable Values for the Setpoints have been specified in Table 3.3-4. Opera-tion with Setpoints less conservative than the Trip Setpoint but within the Allowable Value is acceptable since an allowance has been made in the safety analysis to accommodate this error. An optional provision has been included for determining the OPERABILITY of a channel when its Trip Setpoint is found The methodology of this option utilizes the O "to asexceed the Allowable measured" deviationValue. from the specified calibration point for rack and sensor components in conjunction with a statistical combination of the other j SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 3-1 i D.

In Equation 3.3-1, Z + R S < TA, the interactive effects of the errors in the rack and the sensor, and the "as measured" values of the errors are considered. Z, as specified in Table 3.3-4, in percent span, is the statistical summation of errors assumed in the analysis excluding those associated with the sensor and rack drift and the accuracy of their measurement. TA or Total Allowance is the difference, in percent span; R or Rack Error is the "as measured" deviation, in the percent span, for the affected channel from the specified Trip Setpoint. S or Sensor Error is either the "as measured" deviation of the sensor from its calibration point or the value specified in Table 3.3-4, in percent span, from the analysis assumptions. Use of Equation 3.3-1 allows for a sensor drift factor, an increased rack drift factor, and provides a threshold value for REPORTABLE EVENTS. The methodology to derive the Trip Setooints is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels. Inherent to the determination of the Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties. Sensor and rack instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Rack drfft in excess of the Allowable Value exhibits the behavior that the rack has not met its allowance. Being that there is a small statistical chance that this will happen, an infrequent excessive drift is expected. Rack or sensor drift, in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and should warrant further investigation. The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides i assurance that the Reactor trip and the Engineered Safety Features actuation ; associated with each channel is completed within the time limit assumed in the ' safety analyses.

3/4.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM .{ BASES 3/4.4.1 REACTOR COOLANT LOOPS AND COOLANT CIRCULATION The plant is designed to operate with all reactor coolant loops in opera-tion and maintain DNBR above 1.30 during all normal operations and anticipated transients. In MODES 1 and 2 with one reactor coolant loop not in operation, , this specification requires that the plant be in at least HOT STANDBY within 6 hours. In MODE 3, two reactor coolant loops provide sufficient heat removal capability for removing core decay heat even in the event of a bank withdrawal accident; however, a single reactor coolant loop provides sufficient heat removal capacity 'if a bank withdrawal accident can be prevented, i.e., by opening the Reactor Trip System breakers. Single failure considerations < require that two loops be OPERABLE at all times. In MODE 4, and in MODE E with reactor coolant loops filled, a single reactor coolant loop or RHR loop provides sufficient heat removal capability for removing decay heat; but single failure considerations require that at least two loops (either RHR or RCS) be OPERABLE. In MODE 5 with reactor coolant loops not filled, a single RHR loop provides sufficient heat removal capability for removing decay heat; but single failure considerations, and the unavailability of the steam generators as a heat removing component, require that at least two RHR loops be OPERABLE. The operation of one reactor coolant pump (RCP) or one RHR pump provides adequate flow to ensure mixing, prevent stratification and produce gradual reactivity changes during boron concentration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System. The reactivity change rate associated with boron reduction will, therefore, be within the capability of operator recognition and control. The restrictions on starting an RCP in MODES 4 and 5 are provided to pre-vent RCS pressure transients, caused by energy additions from the Secondary Coolant System, which could exceed the limits of Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50. The RCS will be protected against overpressure transients and will not exceed the limits of Appendix G by restricting starting of the RCPs to when the secondary water temperature of each steam generator is less than 50 F above each of the RCS cold-leg temperatures. 3/4.4.2, SAFETY VALVES The pressurizer Code safety valves operate to prevent the RCS from being pressurized above its Safety Limit of 2735 psig. Each safety valve is designed to relieve 420,000 lbs per hour of saturated steam at the valve Setpoint. The relief capacity of a single safety valve is adequate to relieve any overpres-sure condition which could occur during shutdown. In the event that no safety valves are OPERABLE, an operating RHR loop, connected to the RCS, provides over-pressure relief capability and will prevent RCS overpressurization. In addi-O% tion, the Overpressure Protection System provides a diverse means of protection again:;t RCS overpressurization at low temperatures. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-1
REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES O 3/4.4.2 SAFETY VALVES (Continued) During operation, all pressurizer Code safety valves must be OPERABLE to prevent the RCS from being pressurized above its Safety Limit of 2735 psig. The combined relief capacity of all of these valves is greater than the maximum surge rate resulting from a complete loss of load assuming no Reactor trip until the first Reactor Trip System Trip Setpoint is reache'd (i.e. , no credit is taken for a direct Reactor trip on the loss of load) and also assuming no operation of the power-operated relief valves or steam dump valves. Demonstration of the safety valves' lift settings will occur only during shutdown and will be performed in accordance with the provisions of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code. 3/4.4.3 PRESSURIZER The limit on the maximum water volume in the pressurizer assures that the parameter is maintained within the normal steady-state envelope of operation assumed in the SAR. The limit is consistent with the initial SAR assumptions. The 12-hour periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the parameter is restored to within its limit following expected transient operation. The maximum water volume also ensures that a steam bubble is formed and thus the RCS is not a hydraulically. solid system. The requirement that a minimum number of pressurizer heaters be OPERABLE enhances the capability of the plant to control Reactor Coolant System pressure and establish natural circulation. 3/4.4.4 RELIEF VALVES The power-operated relief valves (PORVs) and steam bubble function to re-lieve RCS pressure during all design transients up to and including the design step load decrease with steam dump. Operation of the PORVs minimizes the undesirable opening of the spring-loaded pressurizer Code safety valves. Each PORV has a remotely operated block valve to provide a positive shutoff capabil-ity should a relief valve become inoperable. The PORVs and their associated block valves are powered from Class 1E power supply busses. 3/ 4. 4. 5 STEAM GENERATORS The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure that the structural integrity of this portion of the RCS will be main-tained. The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision 1. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain surveillance of the conditions of the tubes in the event that there is evidence of mechanical damage or progressive degradation due to design, manufacturing errors, or in-service conditions that lead to corrosion. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation, so that corrective measures can be taken.

v) BASES 3/4.4.5 STEAM GENERATORS (Continued) The peant is expected to be operated in a manner such that the secondary coolant will be maintained within those chemistry limits found to result in negligible corrosion of the steam generator tubes. If the secondary coolant chemistry is not maintained within these limits, localized corrosion may likely result in stress corrosion cracking. The extent of cracking during plant operation would be limited by the limitation of steam generator tube leakage between the Reactor Coolant System and the Secondary Coolant System (reactor-to-secondary leakage = 500 gallons per day per steam generator). Cracks having a reactor-to-secondary leakage less than this limit during operation will have an adequate margin of safety to withstand the loads imposed during normal operation and by postulated accidents. Operating plants have demonstrated that reactor-to-secondary leakage of 500 gallons per day per steam generator can readily be detected by radiation monitors of steam generator blowdown. Leak-age in excess of this limit will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be located and plugged. Wastage-type defects are unlikely with proper chemistry treatment of the secondary coolant. However, even if a defect should develop in service, it will be found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations.
/^ Plugging will be required for all tubes with imperfections exceeding the plug-i ging limit of 40% of the tube nominal wall thickness. Steam generator tube inspections of operating plants have demonstrated the capability to reliably detect degradation that has penetrated 20% of the original tube wall thickness.
Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inservice inspection fall into Category C-3, these results will be promptly reported to the Commis-sion in a Special Report pursuant to Specification 6.8.2 within 30 days and prior to resumption of plant operation. Such cases will be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tests, additional eddy-current inspection, and revi-sion of the Technical Specifications, if necessary. 3/4.4.6 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE 3/4.4.6.1 LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEMS The RCS Leakage Detection Systems required by this specification are pro-vided to monitor and detect leakage from the reactor coolant pressure boundary. These Detection Systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.45, " Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection Systems," May 1973. 3/4.4.6.2 OPERATIONAL LEAKAGE PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE of any magnitude is unacceptable since it may [n be indicative of an impending gross failure of the pressure boundary. the presence of any PRESSURE B0UNDARY LEAKAGE requires the unit to be promptly Therefore, placed in COLD SHUTDOWN. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-3
1 1 f REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM 1 BASES REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE 3/4.4.6.2 OPERATIONAL LEAKAGE (Continued) Industry experience has shown that while a limited amount of leakage is expected from the RCS, the unidentified portion of this leakage can be reduced to a threshold value of less than 1 gpm. This threshold value is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of additional leakage. The total steam generator tube leakage limit of 1 gpm for all steam generators not isolated from the RCS ensures that the dosage contribution from the tube leakage will be limited to a small fraction of 10 CFR Part 100 dose guideline values in the event of either a steam generator tube rupture or steam line break. The 1 gpm limit is consistent with the assumptions used in the analysis of these accidents. The 500 gpd leakage limit per steam generator ensures that steam generator tube integrity is maintained in the event of a main steam line rupture or under LOCA conditions. The 10 gpm IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limitation provides allowance for a limited amount of leakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere with the detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the Leakage Detection Systems. The CONTROLLED LEAKAGE limitation restricts operation when the total flow ' supplied to the reactor coolant pump seals exceeds 40 gpm with the modulating valve in the supply line fully open at a nominal RCS pressure of 2235 psig. This limitation ensures that in the event of a LOCA, the safety injection flow will not be less than assumed in the safety analyses. The specified allowed leakage from any RCS pressure isolation valve is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of possible in-series check valve failure. It is apparent that when pressure isolation is provided by two in-series check valves and when failure of one valve in the pair can go undetected for a substantial length of time, verification of valve integrity is required. Since these valves are important in preventing overpressurization and rupture of the ECCS low pressure piping which could result in a LOCA that bypasses containment, these valves should be tested periodically to ensure low probability of gross failure. The Surveillance Requirements for RCS pressure isolation valves provide added assurance of valve integrity thereby redocing the probability of gross valve failure and consequent intersystem LOCA. Leakage from the RCS pressure isolation valve is IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and will be considered as a portion of the allowed limit. O SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-4
L f REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM k BASES 1 3/4.4.7~ CHEMISTRY The limitations on Reactor Coolant System chemistry ensure that corrosion of the Reactor Coolant System is minimized and reduces the potential for Reac-tor Coolant System leakage or failure due to stress corrosion. Maintaining the chemistry within the Steady-State Limits provides adequate corrosion protection to ensure the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System over the life of the plant. The associated effects of exceeding the oxygen, chloride, and
. fluoride limits are time and temperature dependent. Corrosion studies show that operation may be continued with contaminant concentration levels in er-cess of the Steady-State Limits, up to the Transient Limits, for the specified limited time intervals without having a significant effect on the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System. The time interval permitting con-tinued operation within the restrictions of the Transient Limits provides time for taking corrective actions to restore the contaminant concentrations to within the Steady-State-Limits.
The Surveillance Requirements provide adequate assurance that concentra-tions in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take cor-rective action. 3/4.4.8 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the reactor coolant ensure that the resulting 2-hour doses at the SITE B0UNDARY will not exceed an appro-priately small fraction of 10 CFR Part 100 dose guideline values following a steam generator tube rupture accident in conjunction with an assumed steady-state reactor-to-secondary steam generator leakage rate of 1 gpm. The values for the limits on specific activity represent limits based upon a parametric evaluation by the NRC of typical site locations. These values are conservative in that specific site parameters of the Seabrook site, such as SITE BOUNDARY location and meteorological conditions, were not considered in this evaluation. i The ACTION statement permitting POWER OPERATION to continue for limited t.ime periods with the reactor coolant's specific activity greater than 1 m'icroCurie/ gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131, but within the allowable limil shown 4 on Figure 3.4-1, accommodates a possible iodine spiking phenomenon which may I occur following changes in THERMAL POWER. Operation with specific activity { levels exceeding 1 microcurie / gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 but within the limits shown on Figure 3.4-1 must be restricted to no more than 800 hours per year (approximately 10% of the unit's yearly operating time) since the activity levels allowed by Figure 3.4-1 increase the 2-hour thyroid dose at the SITE BOUNDARY by a factor of up to 20 following a postulated steam generator tube rupture. The reporting of cumulative operating time over 500 hours in any 6-month consecutive period with greater than 1 microcurie / gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 will allow sufficient time for Commission evaluation of the circumstances prior to reaching the 800-hour limit. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-5
REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM ! BASES l 3/4.4.8 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY (Continued) The sample analysis for determining the gross specific activity and E can exclude the radioiodines because of the low reactor coolant limit of 1 microcurie / gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131, and because, if the limit is exceeded, the radioiodine level is to be determined every 4 hours. If the gross specific activity level and radiciodine level in the reactor coolant were at their limits, the radiciodine contribution would be approximately IL In a release of reactor coolant with a typical mixture of radioactivity, the actual radio-iodine contribution would probably be about 20L The exclusion of radio-nuclides with half-lives less than 10 minutes from these determinations has been made for several reasons. The first consideration is the difficulty to identify short-lived radionuclides in a sample that requires a significant time to collect, transport, and analyze. The second consideration is the predictable delay time between the postulated release of radioactivity from the reactor coolant to its release to the environment and transport to the SITE BOUNDARY, which is relatable to at least 30 minutes' decay time. The choice of 10 minutes for the half-life cutoff was made because of the nuclear characteristics of the typical reactor coolant radioactivity. The radio-nuclides in the typical reactor coolant have half-lives of less than 4 minutes or half-lives of greater than 14 minutes, which allows a distinction between the radionuclides above and below a half-life of 10 minutes. For these reasons the radionuclides that are. excluded from consideration are expected to decay to very low levels before they could be transported from the reactor coolant to the SITE BOUNDARY under any accident condition. Based upon the above considerations for excluding certain radionuclides from the sample analysis, the allowable time of 2 hours between sanple taking and completing the initial analysis is based upon a typical time necessary to per-form the sampling, transport the sample, and perform the analysis of about 90 minutes. After 90 minutes, the gross count should be made in a reproducible geometry of sample and counter having reproducible beta or gamma self-shielding properties. The counter should be reset to a reproducible efficiency versus energy. It is not necessary to identify specific nuclides. The radiochemical determination of nuclides should be based on multiple counting of the sample within typical counting basis following sampling of less than 1 hour, about i 2 hours, about 1 day, about 1 week, and about 1 month. Reducing T to less than 500 F prevents the release of activity should gyg a steam generator tube rupture, since the saturation pressure of the reactor ] coolant is below the lift pressure of the atmospheric steam relief valves. The Surveillance Requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific activity levels in the reactor coolant will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action. A reduction in frequency of isotopic analyses following f l power changes may be permissible if justified by the data obtained. J O SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-6 _ _ _j

'The temperature and pressure changes during heatup and cooldown are limited to be consistent with the requirements given in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Appendix G:
l 1. The reactor coolant temperature and pressure and system heatup and. cooldown rates (with the exception of the pressurizer) shall be limited in accordance with Figures 3.4-2 and 3.4-3 for the service period specified thereon:
- a. Allowable combinations of pressure and temperature for specific temperature change rates are below and to the right of the limit lines shown. Limit lines for cooldown rates between those pre-sented may be obtained by interpolation; and
- b. Figures 3.4-2 and 3.4-3 define limits to assure prevention of non-ductile failure only. For normal operation, other inherent plant characteristics, e.g., pump heat addition and pressurizer heater capacity, may limit the heatup and cooldown rates that can be achieved over certain pressure-temperature ranges.
- 2. These limit lines shall be calculated periodically using methods pro-vided below,
- 3. The secondary side of the steam generator must not be pressurized above 200 psig if the temperature of the steam generator is below 70 F,
- 4. The pressurizer heatup and cooldown rates shall not exceed 100 F/h and 200 F/h, respectively. The spray shall not be used if the temperature difference between the pressurizer and the spray fluid is greater than 320 F, and

The fracture toughness properties of the ferritic materials in the reactor vessel are determined in accordance with the NRC Standard Review Plan, ASTM E185-73, and in accordance with additional reactor vessel requirements. These properties are then evaluated in accordance with Appendix G of the 1972 Winter Addenda to Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the calculation methods described in WCAP-7924-A, " Basis for Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves," April 1975.

t l REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES l I 3/4.4.9 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS (Continued) is chosen such that the limiting RT NDT at the 1/4T location in the core region is graater than the RT f the limiting unirradiated material. The selection NDT of such a limiting RT NDT assures that all components in the Reactor Coolant System will be operated conservatively in accordance with applicable Code requirements. The reactor vessel materials have been tested to determine their initial RTNDT; the results of these tests are shown in Table B 3/4.4-1. Reactor opera-tion ana resultant fast neutron (E greater than 1 MeV) irradiation can cause an increase in the RT NDT. Therefore, an adjusted reference temperature, based upon the fluence, copper content, and phosphorus content of the material in question, can be predicted using Figure B 3/4.4-1 and the largest value of ART NDT computed by either Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 1, " Effects of Residual Elements on Predicted Radiation Damage to Reactor Vessel Materials," . or the Westinghouse Copper Trend Curves shown in Figure B 3/4.4-2. The heatup l and cooldown limit curves of Figures 3.4-2 and 3.4-3 include predicted adjust-ments for this shift in RT NDT at the end of 16 EFPY as well as adjustments for possible errors in the' pressure and temperature sensing instruments. Values of ART NDT determined in this manner may be used until the results from the material surveillance program, evaluated according to ASTM E185, are available. Capsules will be removed in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E185-73 and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix H. The lead factor represents the relationship between the fast neutron flux density at the location of the cap-sule and the inner wall of the reactor vessel. Therefore, the results obtained from the surveillance specimens can be used to predict future radiation damage to the reactor vessel material by using the lead factor and the withdrawal time of the capsule. The heatup and cooldown curves must be recalculated when the ART NDT determined from the surveillance capsule exceeds the calculated ART NDT f r the equivalent capsule radiation exposure. Allowable pressure-temperature relationships for various heatup and cooldown rates are calculated using methods derived from Appendix G in Sec-tion III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code as required by Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50, and these methods are discussed in detail in WCAP-7924-A. The general method for calculating heatup and cooldown limit curves is based upon the principles of the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) technology.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES O, 3/4.4.9 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS (Continued) is assumed to exist at the inside of the vessel wall as well as at the catside of the vessel wall. The dimensions of this postulated crack, re1 erred to in Appendix G of ASME Section III as the reference flaw, amply exceed the current capabilities of inservice inspection techniques. Therefore, the reactor operation limit curves developed for this reference crack are conservative and provide sufficient safety margins for protection against nonductile failure. To assure that the radiation embrittlement effects are accounted for in the calculation of the limit curves, the most limiting value of the nil-ductility reference temperature, RTNDT, is used and this includes the radiation-induced shift, ARTNDT, corresponding to the end of the period for which heatup and cooldown curves are generated. The ASME approach for calculating the allowable limit curves for various heatup and cooldown rates specifies that the total stress intensity factor, Ky , for the combined thermal and pressure stresses at any time during heatup or cooldown cannot be greater than the reference stress intensity factor, K IR' for the metal temperature at that time. K is obtained from the reference IR fracture toughness curve, defined in Appendix G to the ASME Code. The K curve is given by the equation: IR KIR = 26.78 + 1.223 exp [0.0145(T-RTNDT + 160)] (1) Where: K IR is the reference stress intensity factor as a function of the metal temperature T and the metal nil-ductility reference temperature RT Thus, NDT. the governing equation for the heatup-cooldown analysis is defined in Appendix G of the ASME Code as follows: CKIM + kit 5KIR (2) Where: K = the stress intensity factor caused by membrane (pressure) stress, IM K It = the stress intensity factor caused by the thermal gradients, KIR = constant provided by the Code as a function of temperature relative to the RT NDT f the material, C = 2.0 for level A and B service limits, and C = 1.5 for inservice hydrostatic and leak test operations. At any time during the heatup or cooldown transient, K is determined by IR the metal temperature at the tip of the postulated flaw, the appropriate value SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-12
REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM im i BASES , 3/4.4.9 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS.(Continued) resulting from temperature gradients through the vessel wall are calculated and then the corresponding thermal stress intensity factor, kit, for the reference flaw is computed. From Equation (2) the pressure stress intensity factors are obtained and, from these, the allowable pressures are calculated. C00LDOWN For the calculation of the allowable pressure versus coolant temperature during cooldown, the Code reference flaw is assumed to exist at the inside of the vessel wall. During cooldown, the controlling location of the flaw is always at the inside of the wall because the thermal gradients produce tensile stresses at the inside, which increase with increasing cooldown rates. Allowable pressure-temperature relations are generated for both steady-state and finite cooldown rate situations. From these relations, composite limit curves are constructed for each cooldown rate of interest. The use of the composite curve in the cooldown analysis is necessary because control of the cooldown procedure is based on measurement of reactor coolant temperature, whereas the limiting pressure is actually dependent on the material temperature at the tip of the assumed flaw. During cooldown, the 1/4T vessel location is at a higher temperature than the fluid adjacent to the (]/
/
vessel 10. This condition, of course, is not true for the steady-state situa-tion. .It follows that at any given reactor coolant temperature, the AT devel-oped during cooldown results in a higher value of K IR at the 1/4T location for finite cooldown rates than for steady-state operation. Furthermore, if condi-tions exist such that the increase in K IR exceeds K7g, the calculated allowable pressure during cooldown will be greater than the steady-state value. The above procedures are needed because there is no direct control on. temperature at the 1/4T location; therefore, allowable pressures may unknowingly be violated if the rate of cooling is decreased at various intervals along a cooldown ramp. The use of the composite curve eliminates this problem and assures conservative operation of the system for the entire cooldown period. HEATUP Three separate calculations are required to determine the limit curves for finite heatup rates. As is done in the cooldown analysis, allowable pressure-temperature relationships are developed for steady-state corditions as well as finite heatup rate conditions a uming the presence of a 1/4T defect at the inside of the vessel wall. The thermal gradients during heatup produce compressive stresses at the inside of the wall that alleviate the tensit$ stresses produced by internal pressure. The metal temperature at the crack tip lags the coolant temperature; therefore, the KIR f r the 1/4T crack p during. heatup is lower than the K f r the 1/4T crack during steady-state IR t SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-13
REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM i i BASES 3/4.4.9 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS (Continued) HEATUP (Continued) conditions at the same coolant temperature. During heatup, especially at the end of the transient, conditions may exist such that the effects of compressive thermal stresses and differant KIRs for steady-state and finite heatup rates do not offset each other and the pressure-temperature curve based on steady-state conditions no longer represents a lower bound of all similar curves for finite l heatup rates when the 1/4T flaw is considered. Therefore, both cases have to be analyzed in order to assure that at any coolant temperature the lower value of the allowable pressure calculated for steady-state and finite heatup rates is obtained. The second portion of the heatup analysis concerns the calculation of pressure-temperature limitations for the case in which a 1/4T deep outside surface flaw is assumed. Unlike the situation at the vessel ins ~ide surface, the thermal gradients established at the outside surface during heatup produce stresses which are tensile in nature and thus tend to reinforce any pressure stresses present. These thermal stresses, of course, are dependent on both the rate of heatup and the time (or coolant temperature) along the heatup ramp. Furthermore, since the thermal stresses at the outside are tensile and increase with increasing heatup rate, a lower bound curve cannot be defined. Rather, each heatup rate of interest must be analyzed on an individual basis. Following the generation of pressure-temperature curves for both the steady-state and finite heatup rate situations, the final limit curves are produced as follows. A composite curve is constructed based on a point-by-point comparison of the steady-state and finite heatup rate data. At any given temperature, the allowable pressure is taken to be the lesser of the three values taken from the curves under consideration. The use of the composite curve is necessary to set conservative heatup limitations because it is possible for conditions to exist such that over the course of the heatup ramp the controlling condition switches from the inside to the outside and the pressure limit must at all times be based on analysis of the most critical criterion. Finally, the composite curves for the heatup rate data and the cooldown rate data are adjusted for possible errors in the pressure and temperature sensing instruments by the values indicated on the respective curves. Although the pressur'izer operates in temperature ranges above those for which there is reason for concern of nonductile failure, operating limits are provided to assure compatibility of operation with the fatigue analysis performed in accordance with the ASME Code requirements.

l l REACTOR' COOLANT SYSTEM-p gh 1:l BASES 3/4.4.9 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS- (Continued) COLD OVERPRESSURE PROTECTICN The Maximum Allowed PORV Setpoint for the Cold Overpressure Mitigation System (COMS) is derived by analysis which models the performance of the COMS assuming various mass input and heat input transients. Operation with a PORV Setpoint less than or equal to the maximum Setpoint' ensures that Appendix G criteria will not be violated with consideration for: (1) a maximum pres-sure overshoot beyond the PORV Setpoint which can occur as a result of time de-lays in signal processing and valve opening; (2) a 50 F heat transport effect made possible by the geometrical relationship of the RHR suction line and the RCS wide range temperature indicator used for COMS; (3) instrument uncertain-ties; and (4) single failure. To ensure mass and heat input transients more severe than those assumed cannot occur, Technical Specifications require lock- ~ out of both Safety Injection pumps and all but one centrifugal charging pump wh.ile in MODES 4, 5, and 6 with the reactor vessel head installed and disallow start of an RCP if secondary coolant temperature is more than 50 F above reac-tor coolant temperature. Exceptions to these requirements Ire acceptable as described below. Operation above 350 F but less than 375 F with only centrifugal charging ( pump OPERABLE and no Safety Injectinn pumps OPERABLE is allowed for up to 4 hours. As shown by analysis, LOCAs occurring at low temperature, low pres-sure conditions can be successfully mitigated by the operation of a single
. centrifugal charging pump and a single RHR pump with no' credit for accumulator injection. Given the short time duration and the condition of having only one centrifugal charging pump OPERABLE and the probability of a LOCA occurring dur-ing this time, the failure of the single centrifugal charging pump is not assumed. ,
1 Operation below 350 F'but greater than 325 F with all centrifugal charging and Safety Injection pumps OPERABLE is allowed for up to 4 hours. During low pressure, low temperature operation all automatic Safety Injection actuation signals except Containment Pressure - High are blocked. In normal conditions, a single failure of the ESF actuation circuitry will result in the starting of atmostonetrainofSafetyInjection(onecentrifugaichargingpump,andone Safety Injection pump). For temperatures a50ve 325 F, an overpressure event occurring as a result of starting two pumps t.an be successfully mitigated by operation of both PORVs without exceeding Appeadix G limit. Given the short time duration that this condition is allowed and the low probability of a single failure of a PORV is not assumed. Initiation of both trains of Safety Injection during this 4-hour time frame due to operator error or a single fail-ure occurring during testing of a redundant channel are not considered to be credible accidents.

Above 350 F two RCPs and all pressure safety valves are required to be OPERABLE. Operation of an RCP eliminates the possibility of a 50 F difference existing between indicated and actual RCS temperature as a result of heat trans-port effects. Considering instrument uncertainties only, an indicated RCS tem-perature of 350 F is sufficiently high to allow full RCS pressurization in ac-cordance with Appendix G limitations. Should an overpressure event occur in these conditions, the pressurizer safety valves provide acceptable and redun-dant overpressure protection. The Maximum Allowed PORV Setpoint for the Cold Overpressure Mitigation System will be revised on the basis of the results of examinations of reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens performed as required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix H. 3/4.4.10 STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY The inservice inspection and testing programs for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components ensure that the structural integrity and operational readiness , of these components will be maintained at an acceptable level throughout the life of the plant. These programs are in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g) except where specific written relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i). Components of the Reactor Coolant System were designed to provide access to permit inservice inspections in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1983 Edition and Addenda through Summer 1983. 3/4.4.11 REACT 05 COOLANT SYSTEM VENTS Reactor Coolant System vents are provided to exhaust noncondensible gases and/or steam from the Reactor Coolant System that could inhibit natural circu-lation core cooling. The OPERABILITY of least one Reactor Coolant System vent path from the reactor vessel head and the pressurizer steam space ensures that the capability exists to perform this function. The valve redundancy of the Reactor Coolant System vent paths serves to minimize the probability of inadvertent or irreversible actuation while ensuring that a single failure of a vent valve, power supply, or control system does not prevent isolation of the vent path. The function, capabilities, and testing requirements of the Reactor Coolant System vents are consistent with the requirements of Item II.B.1 of NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plant Requirements," November 1980.

l l 3/4.5.1 ACCUMULATORS The OPERABILITY of each Reactor Coolant System (RCS) accumulator ensures l that a sufficient volume of borated water will be immediately forced into the I reactor core through each of the cold legs in the eyent the RCS pressure falls below the pressure of the accumulators. This initial surge of water into the core provides the initial cooling mechanism during large RCS pipe ruptures. The limits on accumulator volume, boron concentration, and pressure ensure that the assumptions used for accumulator injection in the safety analysis are met. The accumulator power-operated isolation valves are considered to be
" operating bypasses" in the context of IEEE Std. 279-1971, which requires that bypasses of a protective function be removed automatically whenever permissive conditions are not met. In addition, as these accumulator isolation valves fail to meet single-failure criteria, removal of power to the valves is required.
The limits for operation with an accumulator inoperable for any reason except an isolation valve closed minimizes the time exposure of the plant to a f'3 LOCA event occurring concurrent with failure of an additional accumulator which ('j may result in unacceptable peak cladding temperatures. If a closed isolation valve cannot be immediately opened, the full capability of one accumulator is not available and prompt action is required to place the reactor in a mode where this capability is not required. 3/4.5.2 and 3/4.5.3 ECCS SUBSYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of two independent ECCS subsystems ensures that sufficient emergency core cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA assuming the loss of one subsystem through any single-failure consideration. Either subsystem operating in conjunction with the accumulators is capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all postulated break sizes ranging from the double-ended break of the largest RCS cold-leg pipe downward. In addition, each ECCS subsystem provides long-term core cooling capability in the recirculation mode during the accident recovery period. With the RCS temperature below 350 F, one OPERABLE ECCS subsystem is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements. The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pump to be OPERABLE and the Surveillance Requirement to verify all charging pumps and safety injection pumps except the required OPERABLE charging pump to be in-g operable in MODES 4 and 5 and in MODE 6 with the reactor vessel head on pro-( vides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by the V operation of a single PORV or RHR suction relief valve.

EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS BASES 9 3/4.5.2 and 3/4.5.3 ECCS SUBSYSTEMS (Continued) The Surveillance Requirements provided to ensure OPERABILITY of each com-ponent ensures that at a minimum, the assumptions used in the safety analyses are met and that subsystem OPERABILITY is maintained. Surveillance Requirements for throttle valve position stops and flow balance testing provide assurance that proper ECCS flows will be maintained in the event of a LOCA. Maintenance of proper flow resistance and pressure drop in the piping system to each injec-tion point is necessary to: (1) prevent total pump flow from exceeding runout conditions when the system is in its minimum resistance configuration, (2) pro-vide the proper flow split between injection points in accordance with the assumptions used in the ECCS-LOCA analyses, and (3) provide an acceptable level of total ECCS flow to all injection points equal to or above that assumed in the ECCS-LOCA analyses. 3/4.5.4 REFUELING WATER STORAGE TANK The OPERABILITY of the refueling water storage tank (RWST) as part of the ECCS ensures that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA. The limits on RWST minimum volume and boron concentration ensure that: (1) sufficient water is available within containment to permit recirculation cooling flow'to the core and (2) the l reactor will remain subcritical in the cold condition following mixing of the ! RWST and the RCS water volumes with all control rods inserted except for the most reactive control assembly. These assumptions are consistent with the LOCA analyses. l The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable bc:ause of tank discharge line location or other physical l characteristics. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 8.5 and 11.0 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on ; mechanical systems and components. l 1 l 1 l l I l l l O! l SEABROOk - UNIT 1 B 3/4 5-2
3/4.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS V_ BASES 3/4.6.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT 3/4.6.1.1 CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY Primary CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the containment atmosphere will be restricted to those leakage , paths and associated leak rates assumed in the safety analyses. This restriction, in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, will limit the SITE BOUNDARY radiation doses to within the dose guidelines of 10 CFR Part 100 during accident conditions. 3/4.6.1.2 CONTAINMENT LEAKAGE The limitations on containment leakage rates ensure that the total containment leakage volume will not exceed the value assumed in the safety analyses at the peak accident pressure, Pa. As an added conservatism, the i measured overall integrated leakage rate is further limited to less than or , equal to 0.75 L a during performance of the periodic tests to account for pos- , sible degradation of the conta'iment leakage barriers between leakage tests. l The surveillance testing for measuring leakage rates is consistent with the requirements of Appendix J of 10 CFR Part 50. 3/4.6.1.3 CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS The limitations on closure and leak rate for the containment air locks are required to meet the restrictions on CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY and containment leak rate. Surveillance testing of the air lock seals provides assurance that the overall air lock leakage will not become excessive due to seal damage during the intervals between air loch leakage tests. 3/4.6.1.4 INTERNAL PRESSURE The limitations on containment internal pressure ensure that: (1) the containment structure is prevented from exceeding its design neDative pressure differential with respect to the annulus atmosphere of 3.5 psi and (2) the containment peak pressure does not exceed the design pressure of 52 psig during LOCA conditions. The maximum peak pressure expected to be obtained from a LOCA event is 49.6 psig. The limit of 16.2 psia for initial positive containment pressure will limit the total pressure to 49.6 psia which is less than the design pres-sure and is consistent with the safety analyses.

Measurements shall be made at all listed locations, whether by fixed or portable instruments, prior to determining the average air temperature. 3/4.6.1.6 CONTAINMENT VESSEL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY l This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment steel vessel will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility. Structural integrity is required to ensure that the vessel will withstand the maximum pressure of 52 psig in the event of a LOCA. A visual inspection in conjunction with Type A leakage tests is sufficient to demonstrate this capability. 3/4.6.1.7 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM The 36-inch containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves are required to be sealed closed during plant operation since these valves have not been demonstrated capable of closing during a LOCA or steam line break accident. Maintaining these valves closed during plant operations ensures that excessive quantities of radioactive materials will not be released via the Containment ' Purge System. To provide assurance that these containment valves cannot be inadvertently opened, the valves are sealed closed in accordance with Standard Review Plan Section 6.2.4 which includes mechanical devices to seal or lock the valve closed, or prevents power from being supplied to the valve operator. The use of the containment purge lines is restricted to the 8-inch purge supply and exhaust isolation valves since, unlike the 36-inch valves, the 8-inch valves are capable of closing during a LOCA or steam line break accident. There-fore, the SITE BOUNDARY dose guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100 would not be exceeded in the event of an accident during containment PURGING operation. The total time the containment purge (vent) system isolation valves may be open dur-ing MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 in a calendar year is determined by the actual need for opening the valves for safety-related reasons; e.g., containment pressure control or the reduction of airborne radioactivity to facilitate personnel access for surveillance and maintenance activities. Leakage integrity tests with a maximum allowable leakage rate for contain-ment purge supply and exhaust supply valves will provide early indication of resilient material seal degradation and will allow opportunity for repair before gross leakage failures could develop. The 0.60 La leakage limit of Specification 3.6.1.2b. shall not be exceeded when the leakage rates determined by the leakage integrity tests of these valves are added to the previously determined total for all valves and penetrations subject to Type B and C tests.

This pH band minimizes ( the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.

This capacity is sufficient to ensure that adequate feed-water flow is available to rc. move decay heat and reduce the Reactor Coolant System temperature to less than 350 F when the Residual Heat Removal System may be placed into operation. 3/4.7.1.3 CONDENSATE STORAGE TANK The OPERABILITY of the condensate storage tank with the minimum water vol-ume ensures that sufficient water is available to cool the RCS to a temperature of 350 F. The OPERABILITY of the concrete enclosure ensures this availability of water following rupture of the condensate storage tank by a tornado generated missile. The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics. 3/4.7.1.4 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY j The limitations on Secondary Coolant System specific activity ensure that the resultant offsite radiation dose will be limited to a small fraction of 30 CFR Part 100 dose guideline values in the event of a steam line rupture. This dose also includes the effects of a coincident 1 gpm reactor-to-secondary tube leak in the steam generator of the affected steam line. These values are consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. 3/4.7.1.5 MAIN STEAM LINE ISOLATION VALVES The OPERABILITY of the main steam line isolation valves ensures that no more than one steam generator will blow down in the event of a steam line rupture. This restriction is required to: (1) minimize the positive reac-tivity effects of the Reactor Coolant System cooldown associated with the blowdown, and (2) limit the pressure rise within containment in the event the steam line rupture occurs within containment. The OPERABILITY of the main steam isolation valves within the closure times of the Surveillance Require-ments are consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.

The limitations of 70 F and 200 psig are based on a steam generator RT NDT f 60 F and are sufficient to prevent brittle fracture 3/4.7.3 PRIMARY COMPONENT C0OLING WATER SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Primary Component Cooling Water System ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of safety-related equipment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.
3/4.7.4 SERVICE WATER SYSTEM The Service Water System consists of two independent loops, each of which can operate with either a service water pump train or a cooling tower pump train. The OPERABILITY of the Service Water System ensures that sufficient O, cooling capacity is available for continued operation of safety-related equip-ment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses, which also assumes loss of either the cooling tower or ocean cooling. ! 3/4.7.5 ULTIMATE HEAT SINK The lin.itations on service water pumphouse level, and the OPERABILITY I requirements for the mechanical draft cooling tower and the portable tower , makeup pump system, ensure that sufficient cooling capacity is available to i either: (1) provide normal cooldown of the facility or (2) mitigate the effects of accident conditions within acceptable limits. This cooling capabil-ity is provided by the Atlantic Ocean except during loss of ocean tunnel water flow, when the cooling capability is provided by the mechanical draft cooling tower with tower makeup using portable pumps. The limitations on minimum water level and the requirements for mechanical draft cooling tower OPERABILITY are based on providing a 30-day cooling water supply to safety related equipment without exceeding its design basis tempera-ture and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.27,

Cumuletive e operation of the system with the heaters on for 10 hours over a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HIPA filters. Heaters rur. continuously to maintain the relative humidity below 70%. The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction with control room design provisions is based on limiting the radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room to 5 rems or less whole body, or its equivalent.

ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing. 3/4.7.7 SNUBBERS All snubbers are required OPERABLE to ensure that the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System and all other safety-related systems is main-tained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads. Snubbers are classified and grouped by design and manufacturer but not by size. For example, mechanical snubbers utilizing the same design features of the 2-kip,10-kip and 100-kip cepacity manufactured by Company "A" are of the same type. The same design mechanical snubbers manufactured by Company "B" for the purposes of this Technical Specification would be of a different type, as would hydraulic snubbers from either manufacturer. A list of individual snubbers with detailed information of snubber location and size and of system affected shall be available at the plant in accordance with Section 50.71(c) of 10 CFR Part 50. The accessibility of n ch snubber shall be determined and approved by the Station Operation Revica Committee (50RC). The determination shall be based upon the existing radiation levels and the expected time to perform a visual inspection in each snubber location as well as other factors associated with accessibility during plant operations (e.g., temperature, atmosphere. location, etc.), and the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 8.8 and 8.10.

Permanent or other exemptions from the surveillance program for individual snubbers may be granted by the Commission if a justifiable basis for exemption is presented and, if applicable, snubber life destructive testing was performed to qualify the snubbers for the. applicable design conditions at either the com- , pletion of their fabrication or at a subsequent date. Snubbers so' exempted ! shall be listed in the list of individual snubbers indicating the extent ; of the exemptions. { The service life of a snubber is established via manufacturer input and information through consideration of the snubber service conditions and j associated installation and maintenance records (newly installed snubbers, seal j

These records will provide statistical ! bases for future consideration of snubber service life. 1 3/4.7.8 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION _N The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak i i testing, including alpha emitters, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(a)(3) limits for plutonium.' This limitation will ensure that leakage from Byproduct, Source, ! and Special Nuclear Material sources will not exceed allowable intake values. Sealed sources are classified into three groups according to their use, a with Surveillance Requirements commensurate with the probability of damage to a source in that group. Those sources which are frequently handled are required ; to be tested more often than those which are not. Sealed sources which are continuously enclosed within a shielded mechanism (i.e., sealed sources within radiation monitoring cr boron measuring devices) are considered to be stored and need not te tested unless they are removed from the shielded mechanism. 3/4.7.9 (This specification number is not used.) 3/4.7.10 AREA TEMPERATURE MONITORING The area temperature limitations ensure tu t safety-related equipment will not be subjected to temperatures in excers of their environmental qualification n temperatures.

SOURCES, and ONSITE POWER j DISTRIBUTION The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C power sources and associated distribu-tion systems during operation ensures that sufficient power will be available to supply the safety-related equipment required for: (1) the safe shutdown of the facility, and (2) the mitigation and control of accident conditions within , the facility. The minimum specified independent and redundant A.C. and D.C. power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criterion 17 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
-The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commensurate with the level of degradation. The OPERABILITY of the power sources is consis-tent with the initial condition assumptions of the safety analyses and is based upon maintaining at least one redundant set of onsite A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions coincident with an assumed loss-of-offsite power and single failure of the other onsite A.C. source. The A.C. and D.C. source allowable out-of-service times are based on Regulatory Guide 1.93, " Availability of Electrical Power Sources," December 1974. When one diesel generator is inoperable, there is an O additional ACTION requirement to verify that all required systems, subsystems, 's j trains, components arid devices that depend on the remaining OPERABLE diesel generator as a source of emergency power are also OPERABLE, and that the steam-driven emergency feedwater pump is OPERABLE. This equirement is intended to provide assurance that a loss-of-offsite power event will not result in a com-plete loss of safety function of critical systems during the period one of the diesel generators is inoperable. The term, " verify," as used in this context means to administratively check by examining logs or other information to deter-mine if certain components are out of service for maintenance or other reasons.
It does not mean to perform the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the component. The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensares that: (1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods and (2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status. The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 1.9, " Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," March 10, 1971; 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, August 1977; and 1.137, " Fuel-0il Systems for Standby Diesel Generators," Revision 1, October 1979. l

" Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Std. 450-1980, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."
Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance values, and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates, and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity. Table 4.8-2 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage, and specific gravity. The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, meater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low 1 value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity. The normal 1 limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery. Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8-2 is permitted for up to 7 days. During this 7-day period: (1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full l charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than l the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific l gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability i to perform its design function.

ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.8.4 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES l Containment electrical penetrations and penetration conductors are pro-tected by either deenergizing circuits not required during reactor operation or by demonstrating the OPERABILITY of primary and backup overcurrent protec-tion circuit breakers during periodic surveillance. The Surveillance Requirements applicable to lower voltage circuit breakers provide assurance of breaker reliability by testing at least one representative sample of each manufacturer's brand of circuit breaker. Each manufacturer's air circuit breakers, molded case circuit breakers, and overload devices are grouped into representative samples which are then tested on a rotating basis to ensure that all breakers are tested. If a wide variety exists within any manufactur-er's brand of circuit breakers, it is necessary to divide that manufacturer's breakers into groups and treat each group as a separate type of breaker for surveillance purposes. The OPERABILITY of the motor-operated valves thermal overload protection ensures that the thermal overload protection will not prevent safety-related valves from performing their function. The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the thermal overload protection are in accor-dance with Regulatory Guide 1.106, " Thermal Overload Protection for Electric Motors on Motor Operated Valves," Revision 1, March 1977 SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 8-3
lI 3/4.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS v BASES 3/4.9.1 BORON CONCENTRATION The limitations on reactivity conditions during REFUELING ensure that: (1) the reactor will remain subcritical during CORE ALTERATIONS and (2) a uniform boron concentration is maintained for reactivity control in the water volume having direct access to the reactor vessel. These limitations are consistent with the initial conditions assumed for the boron dilution incident in the safety analyses. The value of 0.95 or less for k eff includes a 1% Ak/k conservative allowance for uncertainties. Similarly, the boron concentration value of 2000 ppm or greater includes a conservative uncertainty allowance of 50 ppm boron. 3/4.9.2 INSTRUMENTATION f The OPERABILITY of the Source Range Neutron Flux Monitors ensures that l redundant monitoring capability is available to detect changes in the reactivity condition of the core. 3/4.9.3 DECAY TIME The minimum requirement for reactor subcriticality prior to movement of Q
. t,'j irradiated fuel assemblies in the reactor vessel ensures that sufficient time has elapsed to allow the radioactive decay of the short-lived fission products. This decay time is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.
3/4.9.4 CONTAINMENT BUILDING PENETRATIONS The requirements on containment building penetration closure and OPERABILITY ensure that a release of radioactive material within containment will be restricted from leakage to the environment. The OPERABILITY and closure restrictions are sufficient to restrict radioactive material release from a fuel element rupture based upon the lack of containment pressurization potential while in the REFUELING MODE. 3/4.9.5 COMMUNICATIONS l The requirement for communications capability ensures that refueling station personnel can be promptly informed of significant changes in the facility status or core reactivity conditions during CORE ALTERATIONS. 3/4.9.6 REFUELING MACHINE The OPERABILITY requirements for the refueling machine ensure that: (1) refueling machine will be used for movement of drive rods and fuel assem-s blies, (2) each hoist has sufficient load capacity to lift a drive rod or fuel assembly, and (3) the core internals and reactor vessel are protected from s . excessive lifting force in the event they are inadvertently engaged during lifting operations. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 9-1 1
REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9.7 CRANE TRAVEL - SPENT FUEL STORAGE AREAS, The restriction on movement of loads in excess of the nominal weight of a fuel and control rod assembly and associated handling tool over other fuel assemblies in the storage pool ensures that in the event this load is dropped: (1) the activity release will be limited to that contained in a single fuel assembly and (2) any possible distortion of fuel in the storage racks will not result in a critical array. This assumption is consistent with the activity release assumed in the safety analyses. 3/4.9.8 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL AND C0OLANT CIRCULATION The requirement that at least one residual heat removal (RHR) loop be in operation ensures that: (1) sufficient cooling capacity is available to remove decay heat and maintain the water in the reactor vessel below 140 F as required during the REFUELING MODE, and (2) sufficient coolant circulation is maintained through the core to minimize the effect of a boron dilution incident and prevent boron stratification. The requirement to have two RHR loops OPERABLE when there is less than 23 feet of water above the reactor vessel flange ensures that a single failure of the operating RHR loop will not result in a complete loss of residual heat removal capability. With the reactor vessel head removed and at least 23 feet of water above the reactor pressure vessel flange, a large heat sink is avail-able for core cooling. Thus, in the event of a failure of the operating RHR loop, adequate time is provided to initiate emergency procedures to cool the core. 3/4.9.9 CONTAINMENT PURGE AND EXHAUST ISOLATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of this system ensures that the containment vent and purge penetrations will be automatically isolated upon detection of high radiation levels within the containment. The OPERABILITY of this system is required to restrict the release of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environment. 3/4.9.10 and 3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL - REACTOR VESSEL and STORAGE P0OL Tne restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water depth is available to remove 99% of the assumed 10% iodine gap activity released from the rupture of an irradiated fuel assembly. The minimum water depth is consis-tent with the assumptions of the safety analysis. 3/4.9.12 FUEL STORAGE BUILDING EM RGENCY AIR CLEANING SYSTEM The limitations on the fuel Storage Building Emergency Air Cleaning System ensure that all radioactive material released from an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to dis-charge to the atmosphere.

3/4.10 SPECIAL TEST EXCEPTIONS
-BASES 3/4.10.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN l This special test exception provides that a minimum amount of con +.rol-rod worth is immediately available for reactivity control when tests are performed for control rod worth measurement. This special test exception is required to permit the periodic verification of the actual versus predicted core reactivity L condition occurring as a result of fuel burnup or fuel cycling operations.
3/4.10.2 GROUP HEIGHT,' INSERTION, AND POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS This special test exception permits individual control rods to be posi-tioned outside of their normal group heights and insertion limits during the performance of such_ PHYSICS TESTS as those required to: (1) measure control rod worth and (2) determine the reactor stability index and damping factor under xenon oscillation conditions. 3/4.10.3 PHYSICS TESTS This special test exception permits PHYSICS TESTS to be performed at less than or equal to 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER with the RCS T,yg slightly lower than normally allowed so that the fundamental nuclear characteristics of the core and related instrumentation can be verified. In order for various ch= ac-teristics to be accurately measured, it is at times necessary to operate outside the normal restrictions of these Technical Specifications. For instance, to measure the moderator temperature coefficient at BOL, it is necessary to position the various control rods at heights which may not normally be' allowed by Specification'3.1.3.6 and the RCS T,yg may be below the minimum temperature of Specification 3.1.1.4 during the measurement. 3/4.10.4 REACTOR COOLANT 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 POSITION INDICATIGN SYSTEM - SHUTDOWN This special test exception permits the Position Indication Systems to be inoperable during rod drop time measurements. The exception is required since the data necessary to determine the rod drop time are derived from the induced voltage in the position indicator coils as the rod is dropped. This induced voltage is small compared to the normal voltage and, therefore, cannot be observed if the Position Indication Systems remain OPERABLE. SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 10-1

The concentration limit for dissolved or entrained noble gases is based upon the assumption that Xe-135 is the controlling radioisotope and its MPC in air (sub-l mersion) was converted to an equivalent concentration in water using the methods described :n International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 2. 3/4.11.1.2 DOSE This specification is provided to implement the requirements of Sec-tions II.A, III.A, and IV.A of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

I This specification applies to the release of radioactive materials in liquid effluents from each unit at the site. When shared Radwaste Treatment Systems are used by more than one unit on a site, the wastes from all units are mixed for shared treatment; by such mixing, the effluent releases cannot accurately be ascribed to a specific unit.

The requirement that the appropriate por-tions of this system be used when specified provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents will be kept as low as is reason-ably achievable.

Restricting the quantity of radioactive material contained in the speci-fied tanks provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tank's contents, the resulting concentrations would be less than the limits of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column 2, at the nearest potable water supply and the nearest surface water supply in an UNRESTRICTED AREA. 3/t.11.2 GASE0US EFFLUENTS 3/4.11.2.1 DOSE RATE This specification is provided to ensure that the dose at any time at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY from gaseous effluents from all units on the site will be within the annual dose limits of 10 CFR Part 20 to UNRESTRICTED AREAS. The annual dose limits are the doses associated with the concentrations of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, Table II, Column I.

The 00CM calculational methodol-ogy and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regula-tory Guide 1.109, " Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I," Revision 1, October 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.111, " Methods for Estimating Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion of Gaseous Effluents in Routine Releases from Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," Revision 1, July 1977. These equa-tions also provide for determining the actual doses based upon the historical average atmospheric conditions. The release rate specifications for Iodine-131 ; Iodine-133, tritium, and radionuclides in particulate form with half-lives ! greater than 8 days are dependent upon the existing radionuclides pathways to man in the areas at and beyond the SITE B0UNDARY. The pathways that were exam-ined in the development of the calculations were: (1) individual inhalation of airborne radionuclides, (2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vege-tation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition of radionuclides onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze followed by human consumption of that milk and meat, and (4) deposition of radionuclides on the ground followed by subsequent human exposure. 3/4.11.2.4 GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM and the VENTILA-TION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM ensures that the systems will be available for use whenever gaseous effluents require treatment prior to release to the environment. The requirement that the appropriate portions of these systems be used, when specified, provides reasonable assurance that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept as low as is reasonably achievable. This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a, General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, and the design objectives given in Section II.D of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. The specified limits governing the use of appropriate portions of the systems were specified as a suitable fraction of the dose design objectives set forth in Sections II.B and II.C of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50, for gaseous effluents.

'k BASES GASEOUS EFFLUENTS 3/4.11.2.5 EXPLOSIVE GAS MIXTURE FOR THE GASEOUS RADWASTE SYSTEM This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of poten-tially explosive gas mixtures contained in the GASEOUS RADWASTE SYSTEM is main-tained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and_ oxygen. Maintaining the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen below their flammability limits provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to'10 CFR Part 50.
3/4.11.3 SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTES This specification implements the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a and. General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. The process parameters included in establishing the PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM may' include, but are not limited to, waste type, waste pH, waste / liquid / SOLIDIFICATION , agent / catalyst ratios, waste oil content, waste principal chemical constituents, and mixing and curing times. 3/4.11.4- TOTAL DOSE
-This specification is provided to meet the dose limitations of 40 CFR Part 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR Part 20 by 46 FR 18525. The specification requires the preparation and submittal of a Special Report when-ever the calculated doses due to releases of radioactivity and to radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources exceed 25 mrems to the whole body or any organ, except the thyroid, which shall be limited to less than or equal to 75 mrems.
.For sites containing up to four reactors, it is highly unlikely that the resul-tant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR Part 190 if the individual reactors remain within twice the dose design objec-tives of Appendix I, and if direct radiation doses from the units (including outside storage tanks, etc.) are kept small. The Special Report will describe a course of action that should result in the limitation of the annual dose to a l MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC to within the 40 CFR Part 190 limits. For the purposes of l the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the excep-tion that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of 8 km must be considered. If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is estimated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190, the Special Report with a request for a variance (provided the release condi-tions resulting in violation of 40 CFR Part 190 have not already been corrected),
in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 190.11 and 10 CFR 20.405c, is con-sidered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR Part 190 until NRC staff action is completed. The variance only relates to the limits of 40 CFR Part 190, and does not apply in any way to the other requirements for dose limitation of 10 CFR Part 20, as addressed in Specifications 3.11.1.1 and
\ 3.11.2.1. An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC during any period in which he/she is engaged in carrying out any operation that is part of the nuclear fuel cycle.

l 1 3/4.12 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING BASES-2 I 3/4.12.1' MONITORING PROGRAM The~ Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program required by this specifi-cation provides representative mea'surements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC resulting. from the plant operation. This monitoring. program implements Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50 and thereby supplements the Radiological Effluent Monitoring Program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on-
' the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental l exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the l: Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring, l Revision 1, November 1979. The initially specified monitoring program will be effective for at least.the.first 3 years of commercial operation.
Following this period, program changes may-be initiated based on operational experience. ; 1 The required detection capabilities for environmental sample analyses are tabulated.in terms of the lower limits of detection (LLDs). The LLDs required by the ODCM are censidered optimum for routine environmental measurements in
. industrial laboratories. -It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as an a priori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measure-4 meni system and not as an a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular j measurement.
Detailed discussion of the LLD and other detection limits can be found l in Currie, L. A. , " Lower Limit of Detection: Definition and Elaboration of a Proposed Position for Radiological Effluent and Environmental Measurements," NUREG/CR-4007 (September 1984), and in the HASL Procedures Manual, HASL-300 (revised annually). 3/4.12.2 LAND USE CENSUS This specification is provided to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE B0UNDARY are identified and that modifications to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program given in the ODCM are made if required by the results of this census. Information from methods such as the door-to-door survey, from aerial survey, or from consulting with local agricul-tural authorities shall be used. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. Restricting the census to L gardens of greater than 50 m2 provides assurance that significant exposure l pathways via leafy vegetables will be identified and monitored, since a garden ; l- of this size is the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/ year) of I l leafy vegetables assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 for consumption by a child. .l To determine this minimum garden size, the following assumptions were made: (1) 20% of the garden was used for growing broad-leaf vegetation (i.e., similar to lettuce and cabbage) and (2) there was a vegetation yield of 2 kg/m2, SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 12-1
RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING BASES O 3/4.12.3 INTERLABORATORY COMPARIS0N PROGRAM The requirement for participation in an approved Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environ-mental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are valid for the purposes of Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50. l 9 O SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 12-2

MAPS DEFINING UNRESTRICTED AREAS AND SITE BOUNDARY FOR RADI0 ACTIVE GASE0US AND LIQUID EFFLUENTS 5.1. 3 Information regarding radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents, which will allow identification of structures and release points as well as definition of UNRESTRICTED AREAS within the SITE BOUNDARY that are accessible to MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, shall be shown in Figures 5.1-1 and 5.1-3, respectively. I The definition of UNRESTRICTED AREA used in implementing these Technical Speci-fications has been expanded over that in 10 CFR 20.3(a)(17). The UNRESTRICTED AREA boundary may coincide with the Exclusion (fenced) Area boundary, as defined in 10 CFR 100.3(a), but the UNRESTRICTED AREA does not include areas over water bodies. The concept of UNRESTRICTED AREAS, established at or beyond the SITE BOUNDARY, is utilized in the Limiting Conditions for Operation to keep levels of radioactive materials in liquid and gaseous effluents as low as is reasonably { q achievable, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36a. i 5.2 CONTAINMENT CONFIGURATION 5.2.1 The containment building is a steel-lined, reinforced concrete building of cylindrical shape, with a dome roof and having the following design features:
- a. Nominal inside diameter = 140 feet.
- b. Nominal inside height = 219 feet.
- c. Minimum thickness of concrete walls = 4 feet 6 inches.
- d. Minimum thickness of concrete dome = 3 feet 6 ir,ches.
- e. Minimum thickness of concrete floor pad - E t'.9t.
- f. Nominal thickness of steel liner = 1/', L R v i 1/2 inch for the floor, wall, and dome, respectively,
- g. Net free volume = 2.704 X 106 cubic feet.
