SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, ET AL DOCKET NOS. 50-361 AND 50-362 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amenoments to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-10 and'NPF-15 I
issued to Southern California Edison Company (SCE), San Diego Gas and Electric Company, the City of Riverside, California and the City of Anaheim, California (the licensees), for operation of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 located in San Diego County, California. The request for amenoments was submitted by letter dated May 25, 1988, as revised by letter dated April 4, 1989, arid identified as proposed change PCN-221.
Technical Specification 3/4.6.1.7, " Containment Ventilation System," permits each 8-inch containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valve to be open for less than or equal to 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> (3000 hours0.0347 days <br />0.833 hours <br />0.00496 weeks <br />0.00114 months <br /> for Unit 3 prior to the third refueling outage) per 305 days, and requires each 42-inch containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valve to be sealed closed, in operational modes 1,2,3 and 4.
The proposed change would revise Specification 3.6.1.7 to allow blind flanging the 8-inch or 42-inch containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves as an acceptable method to close and/or seal closed the valves.
In addition, the proposed change would revise the current allowable period that the 8-inch containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves may be open, to permit unrestM cted valve operation as required for specific safety related purposes. These purposes would be defined as containment f [ kOb!O bb Il P
2-s pressure control, ALARA and respirable air quality for personnel entry, and surveillance tests. The proposed char.ge would also revise Action Statement 'a' of Specification 3.6.1.7 to increase the allowable time to close or blind flange and open valve from i hour to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. Finally, the proposed change would exempt blind flanges on the containment purge supply and exhaust lines from the 31 day inspection requirement and would include these blind flanges in the quarterly leakage rate test of the purge supply and exhaust isolation valves.
