NIA Figure Change D Yes 25 CK] No Title of Change: EDP 80057C02 - Replacement of the Main Generator Static Excitation System This Engineering Design Package (EDP) replaces the Automatic Voltage Regulator (A VR). The existing system, an ABB UNITROL P unit, is considered obsolete and is being replaced with an ABB UNITROL 6000 X-Power static excitation system. Installation and implementation of this modification includes Instrumentation & Control (I&C) changes where existing functions performed using analog components will subsequently be handled with new digital components.
This includes the overcurrentrelay (newPIS#N30Kl021) in panel Hl I P841 which is currently an electro-mechanical relay, the excitation transformer temperature monitors (N30N363 &
N30N364) which will have a new digital output capability, and the rotor ground detection relay being replaced with a digital ground monitor. While all of these components are non-safety related and not required for establishing or maintaining the plant in a safe shutdown condition, failure of the A YR system can result in a turbine generator trip transient. The replacement A YR components incorporate digital control capabilities in place of the existing analog controllers which is a fundamental change to how the A YR system functions.
The proposed replacement of the existing analog components with digital equivalents as part of the A VR modification will not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the Technical Specifications, SER or UFSAR. The replacement digital components perform the same function as the existing analog components in supporting regulation of the main generator voltage and reactive power. Fai lure of a new digital component would have the same results as a failure of an existing analog component. There are no more than minimal effects to previously evaluated accidents or malfunctions, no potential for the creation of a new type of event no adverse impacts to fission product barriers and no impact to evaluation methodologies as described in the UFSAR.
Therefore, prior NRC approval of this change is not required. contains Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.

EDP 80116 - Transformer 65 Replacement with Load Tap Changer This Engineering Design Package (EDP) replaces System Service Transformer #65 (SS65)
(Rl 200S00 1) with a new unit that includes automatic load tap changers. The existing unit will not support Fermi 2's compliance with Nuclear Plant Operating Agreement (NPOA) requirements for meeting steady state voltage range and changes in switchyard voltage for agreed upon single contingencies when the suspension of operation of other regional power plants occurs by the end of 202 1. Installation and implementation of this modification includes Instrumentation & Control (I&C) changes where new monitoring and control instrumentation is added, and existing functions performed using analog components will subsequently be handled with new digital components. While SS65 is non-safety related and non-seismic it is the preferred power supply for the Division II engineered safety feature (ESF) buses. The incorporation of digital control capabilities in place of the existing analog controls constitutes a fundamental change to how SS65 functions.
The proposed replacement of System Service Transformer #65 (SS65) does not require prior approval by the NRC. The addition of digital components, the addition of an automatic tap changer, and the replacement of analog components with digital components that perform the same function does not result in a more than minimal increase in frequency/likelihood or consequences of accidents or malfunctions previously evaluated, does not create the potential for a new type of event or malfunction with a different result, and does not impact fission product barriers or evaluation methodologies. Postulated fai lures for the new transformer would have the same results as a failure of the existing transformer. Also, incorporation ofLTCs with the replacement transformer does not alter how it would fail when compared to the existing unit.
Based upon the results of this evaluation, the replacement of SS65 can be implemented per plant procedures without obtaining a License Amendment.
Therefore, prior NRC approval of this change is not required. contains Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.

NIA Figure Change D Yes 25 Title of Change: Revision 22 to Procedure 20.307.01 based CARDs 22-28800 and 22-28738 CARD 22-28800, and 22-28738 document a concern with the design of the Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) high crankcase trip in the event of a tornado occurring after a loss of off site power. A tornado differential pressure could cause the EDG crankcase high pressure trip. This trip is the result of environmental conditions present during the time a tornado is passing over the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) complex. Engineering has determined that this event is plausible and has a duration of approximately 30 seconds. The postulated EOG trip on high crankcase pressure during a design basis tornado is a non-conforming condition because UFSAR section 8.3.1.1.8.2.i states that The EDG system is designed to be operable during and after a design-basis tornado.
This evaluation determines that the additional actions required to re-start the EDGs (if a tornado causes them to trip) after a loss of offsite power does not increase the time to initiate Torus cooling to more than the time specified in the verification of time critical operator actions (20 min), therefore there will not be a negative effect on plant systems. The proposed activity does not result in more than a minimal increase in the frequency occurrence, nor the consequences of an accident previously evaluated in the UFSAR and does not result in more than a minimal increase in the likelihood of a malfunction of any Structures, Systems, and Components (SSC) important to safety nor the consequences of such a malfunction previously evaluated in the UFSAR. The proposed activity does not create a possibi lity for an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated in the UFSAR nor create the possibility for a malfunction of an SSC important to safety with different result than any previously evaluated in the UFSAR. There are no impacts to fission product barriers and there are no departures from a method of evaluation described in the UFSAR used in establishing the design bases or in the safety analyses.
Therefore, prior NRC approval of this change is not required. contains Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.

Methodology Evaluation Regarding Use of AutoPIPE Version 23.00 (CR 2023-35073)
AutoPTPE is a computer aided engineering program for calculating piping stresses, flange analysis, pipe support design, and equipment nozzle loading analysis. It is referenced in UFSAR
§3.13.3.18 as a computer program for such purposes for both static and dynamic loading conditions. As established in NEI 96-07, Rev I, §4.2.1.3, the use of a revised method of evaluation is controlled under 1 0CFR50.59. Per the 50.59 process at Fermi 2, a software version change is evaluated under 10CFR50.59(c)(2)(viii) for a potential departure of methodology for an UFSAR described method.
This evaluation determines that use of computer code AutoPIPE, Version 23.00, in place of AutoPIPE, Version I 1.0 I, does not require prior NRC approval. This conclusion is based on the establishment that while there is a methodology revision, the changes made under Version 23.00 corrects identified errors in the mathematical algorithms and inputs into the mathematical algorithms to correct/restore the calculation final results to the intended mathematical calculation results and the results are essential ly the same between the two versions, with the exception of the specific corrected error/defect impacts. Therefore, use of AutoPIPE, Version 23.00, is not a departure from a method of evaluation described in the UFSAR used in establishing the design bases or in the safety analyses.
Therefore, prior NRC approval of this change is not required. contains Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.

Updates to DC-5779 Vol. I due to E5150F007 Valve Stroke Time Increase - TSR 100552 Rev.0 Tt was identified that the gearing in the E5 l 50F007 Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC)
Steam Line Primary Containment Inboard Isolation Valve was 23 seconds (21.4 seconds + 1.6 seconds margin), when in DC-5779 Vol I it was documented as 15 seconds. This was due to a change in gearing which was made in the past. Reference CR-2024-38279. The change in stroke time is evaluated on overall Mass and Energy Release using a hand calculation in DC-5779 Vol I, Pg. 33a, which is the same methodology as the original calculation. The change is justified by removing conservatism embedded within the break isolation time which included loss of offsite power when it was not required by the US NRC Standard Review Plan 3.6.1, BTP ASB 3-1 Section 3.b(l ), and using the actual valve flow curve provided by the E5 I 50F007 valve manufacturer (Powell) which can be found in TSR l 00552 Rev.0.
The calculation uses this available margin in the original calculation to compensate for the increased stroke time. A detailed review ofNUREG.0798, Safety Evaluation Report related to the operation of Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, Unit No. 2, including Supplements 1 through 6 revealed that this margin was not credited by the NRC in the approval of the RCIC System.
The change in the E5 l 50F007 valve stroke timing from 15 seconds to 23 seconds (21.4 seconds
+ l.6 seconds margin) in Cale DC-5779 Volume 1 Page 20 has been evaluated in a hand calculation (which matches the original methodology.) The calculation offsets this increase in stroke time by not including a Loss of Offsite Power (LOP) event in the E5150F007 valve stroke timing. This will now match the stroke time for the E5 l 50F007 valve in Cale DC-2712, Volume
- 1. As the methodology for the calculations (hand calculation) impacted by this change match the original (hand calculation) and calculational assumptions and methodologies, the proposed activity does not result in a departure from a method of evaluation described in the UFSAR.
Therefore, prior NRC approval of this change is not required. contains Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.

These guidelines discuss the need for a report to be submitted either annually or along with the UFSAR updates required by 10 CFR 50.7l(e).
This report involves changes that have been made in the Fermi 2 commitment management database (referred to as the Regulatory Action Commitment and Tracking System or RACTS).
Commitment changes are included in the following two tables:
Table I : Commitments that have been deleted from the Fermi 2 RACTS database because they are no longer applicable.
Table 2: Commitments that have been revised in the RACTS database. The table includes the original commitment and reference document in addition to a brief description of the change.
In some cases, the RACTS database contains items that are not regulatory commitments per the definition in NEI 99-04. Examples include internal tracking of actions that were never submitted to the NRC or tracking ofrecurring regulatory actions such as routine submittals. Changes to these types of RACTS items are not identified in Table l or Table 2 because the items were never regulatory commitments per the NEI 99-04 definition. contains Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.

If the water level should drop below the TAF, the ability to remove decay heat is reduced, which could lead to elevated cladding temperatures and clad perforation. Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 requires the RPV water level to be above the top of the active irradiated fuel at all times to prevent such elevated cladding temperatures.
Technical Specifications are required by 10 CFR 50.36 to include limiting safety system settings (LSSS) for variables that have significant safety functions.
LSSS are defined by the regulation as "Where a LSSS is specified for a variable on which a safety limit has been placed, the setting must be chosen so that automatic protective actions will correct the abnormal situation before a Safety Limit (SL) is exceeded."
The Analytical Limit is the limit of the process variable at which a safety action is initiated to ensure that a SL is not exceeded.
Any automatic protection action that occurs on reaching the Analytical Limit therefore ensures that the SL is not exceeded.
However, in practice, the actual settings for automatic protection channels must be chosen to be more conservative than the Analytical Limit to account for instrument loop uncertainties related to the setting at which the automatic protective action would actually occur.
The actual settings for the automatic isolation channels are the same as those established for the same functions in MODES 1, 2, and 3 in LCO 3.3.6.1, "Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation."
With the unit in MODE 4 or 5, RPV water inventory control is not required to mitigate any events or accidents evaluated in the safety analyses.
RPV water inventory control is required in MODES 4 and 5 to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and the fuel cladding barrier to prevent the release of radioactive material should a draining event occur.
Under the definition of DRAIN TIME, some penetration flow paths may be excluded from t he DRAIN TIME calculation if they will be isolated by valves that will close automatically without offsite power prior to the RPV water level being equal to B 3.3.5.3-1 Revision 94 contains Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390.

5.3 BACKGROUND
(continued)
APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES,
LCD, and APPLICABILITY FERMI - UNIT 2 the TAF when actuated by RPV water level isolation instrumentation.
The purpose of the RPV Water Inventory Control Instrumentation is to support the requirements of LCD 3.5.2, "Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Water Inventory Control," and the definition of DRAIN TIME.
There are functions that support automatic isolation of Residual Heat Removal subsystem and Reactor Water Cleanup system penetration flow path(s) on low RPV water level.
With the unit in MODE 4 or 5, RPV water inventory control is not required to mitigate any events or accidents evaluated in the safety analyses. RPV water inventory control is required in MODES 4 and 5 to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and the fuel cladding barrier to prevent the release of radioactive material should a draining event occur.
A double-ended guillotine break of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is not considered in MODES 4 and 5 due to the reduced RCS pressure, reduced piping stresses, and ductile piping systems. Instead, an event is considered in which an initiating event allows draining of the RPV water inventory through a single penetration flow path with the highest flow rate, or the sum of the drain rates through multiple penetration flow paths susceptible to a common mode failure.
It is assumed, based on engineering judgment, that while in MODES 4 and 5, one low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem can be manually initiated to maintain adequate reactor vessel water level.
As discussed in References 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, operating experience has shown RPV water inventory to be significant to public health and safety. Therefore, RPV Water Inventory Control satisfies Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
Permissive and interlock setpoints are generally considered as nominal values without regard to measurement accuracy.

FERMI - UNIT 2 The specific Applicable Safety Analyses, LCO, and Applicability discussions are listed below on a Function by Function basis.
RHR System Isolation l.a - Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low, Level 3 The definition of Drain Time allows crediting the closing of penetration flow paths that are capable of being isolated by valves that will close automatically without offsite power prior to the RPV water level being equal to the TAF when actuated by RPV water level isolation instrumentation. The Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low, Level 3 Function associated with RHR System isolation may be credited for automatic isolation of penetration flow paths associated with the RHR System.

Section 1.3, Completion Times, specifies that once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition discovered to be inoperable or not within limits will not result in separate entry into the Condition.
Section 1.3 also specifies that Required Actions continue to apply for each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.
However, the Required Actions for inoperable RPV Water Inventory Control instrumentation channels provide appropriate compensatory measures for separate inoperable Condition entry for each inoperable RPV Water Inventory Control instrumentation channel.

If the instrumentation is inoperable, Required Action A.1 directs immediate action to place the channel in trip. With the inoperable channel in the tripped condition, the remaining channel will isolate the penetration flow path on low water level. If both channels are inoperable and placed in trip, the penetration flow path will be isolated. Alternatively, Required Action A.2.1 requires the associated penetration flow path(s) to be immediately declared incapable of automatic isolation. Required Action A.2.2 directs initiating action to calculate DRAIN TIME.

SR 3.3.5.3.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK ensures that a gross failure of instrumentation has not occurred. A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels.
It is based on the assumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should read approximately the same value.
Significant deviations between the instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or something even more serious. A CHANNEL CHECK guarantees that undetected outright channel failure is limited; thus. it is key to verifying the instrumentation continues to operate properly between each CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST.
Agreement criteria are determined by the plant staff, based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties.
including indication and readability.
If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the instrument has drifted outside its limit.

The primary containment oxygen concentration must be within the specified limit when primary containment is inerted.
The primary containment must be inert in MODE 1 and 2. since this is the condition with the highest probability of an event that could produce hydrogen.

FERMI - UNIT 2 leakage limits exceeded provide appropriate compensatory measures for separate affected RCS PIV flow paths.
As such, a Note has been provided that allows separate Condition entry for each affected RCS PIV flow path.
Note 2 requires an evaluation of affected systems if a PIV is inoperable.
The leakage may have affected system OPERABILITY, or isolation of a leaking flow path with an alternate valve may have degraded the ability of the interconnected system to perform its safety function.
As a result, the applicable Conditions and Required Actions for systems made inoperable by PIVs must be entered. This ensures appropriate remedial actions are taken, if necessary, for the affected systems.
A.1 If leakage from one or more RCS PIVs is not within limit,
the flow path must be isolated by at least one closed manual, deactivated automatic, or check valve within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
Required Action A.l is modified by a Note stating that valves used for isolation must meet the same leakage requirements as the PIVs (i.e., meet SR 3.4.5.1).
Furthermore, the leakage must have been verified at the last refueling outage or after the last time the valve was disturbed (i.e., maintenance activities that could affect the leak tightness of the valve), whichever is more recent.
Four hours provides time to reduce leakage in excess of the allowable limit and to isolate the flow path if leakage cannot be reduced while corrective actions to reseat the leaking PIVs are taken.
The 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> allows time for these actions and restricts the time of operation with leaking valves.
B.1 and B.2 If leakage cannot be reduced or the system isolated, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and MODE 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. This action may reduce the leakage and also reduces the potential for a LOCA outside the containment.
The Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to achieve the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

If the water level should drop below the TAF, the ability to remove decay heat is reduced, which could lead to elevated cladding temperatures and clad perforation. Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 requires the RPV water level to be above the top of the active irradiated fuel at all times to prevent such elevated cladding temperatures.
APPLICABLE With the unit in MODE 4 or 5, RPV water inventory control is SAFETY ANALYSES not required to mitigate any events or accidents evaluated FERMI - UNIT 2 in the safety analyses.
RPV water inventory control is required in MODES 4 and 5 to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and the fuel cladding barrier to prevent the release of radioactive material to the environment should an unexpected draining event occur.
A double-ended guillotine break of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is not considered in MODES 4 and 5 due to the reduced RCS pressure, reduced piping stresses, and ductile piping systems.
Instead, an event is considered in which an initiating event allows draining of the RPV water inventory through a single penetration flow path with the highest flow rate. or the sum of the drain rates through multiple penetration flow paths susceptible to a common mode failure (an event that creates a drain path through multiple vessel penetrations located below top of active fuel, such as loss of normal power. or a single human error). It is assumed, based on engineering judgment, that while in MODES 4 and 5, one low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem can maintain adequate reactor vessel water level.
As discussed in References 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, operating experience has shown RPV water inventory to be significant to public health and safety. Therefore, RPV Water Inventory Control satisfies Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).

The Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) requires the DRAIN TIME of RPV water inventory to the TAF to be~ 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. A DRAIN TIME of 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> is considered reasonable to identify and initiate action to mitigate unexpected draining of reactor coolant.
An event that could cause loss of RPV water inventory and result in the RPV water level reaching the TAF in greater than 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> does not represent a significant challenge to Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 and can be managed as part of normal plant operation.
One low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem is required to be OPERABLE and capable of being manually aligned and started from the control room to provide defense-in-depth should an unexpected draining event occur.
OPERABILITY of the ECCS injection/spray subsystem includes any necessary valves, instrumentation, or controls needed to manually align and start the subsystem from the control room.
A low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem consists of either one Core Spray (CS) subsystem or one Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) subsystem.
Each CS subsystem consists of one motor driven pump, piping, and valves to transfer water from the suppression pool or condensate storage tank (CST) to the RPV.
Each LPCI subsystem consists of one motor driven pump, piping, and valves to transfer water from the suppression pool to the RPV.
In MODES 4 and 5, the RHR System cross tie valve is not required to be closed.

Requirements on water inventory control in other MODES are contained in LCOs in Section 3.3, "Instrumentation," and other LCOs in Section 3.5, "ECCS, RPV Water Inventory Control, and RCIC System."
RPV water inventory control is required to protect Safety Limit 2.1.1.3 which is applicable whenever irradiated fuel is in the reactor vessel.
A.1 and B.1 If the required low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem is inoperable, it must be restored to OPERABLE status within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.
In this Condition, the LCO controls on DRAIN TIME minimize the possibility that an unexpected draining event could necessitate the use of the ECCS injection/spray subsystem, however the defense-in-depth provided by the ECCS injection/spray subsystem is lost. The 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Completion Time for restoring the required low pressure ECCS injection/spray subsystem to OPERABLE status is based on engineering judgment that considers the LCO controls on DRAIN TIME and the low probability of an unexpected draining event that would result in loss of RPV water inventory.
If the inoperable ECCS injection/spray subsystem is not restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, action must be initiated immediately to establish a method of water injection capable of operating without offsite electrical power.
The method of water injection includes the necessary instrumentation and controls, water sources, and pumps and valves needed to add water to the RPV or refueling cavity should an unexpected draining event occur.
The method of water injection may be manually initiated and may consist of one or more systems or subsystems, and must be able to access water inventory capable of maintaining the RPV water level above the TAF for
~ 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
If recirculation of injected water would occur, it may be credited in determining the necessary water volume.
C.1, C.2, and C3 With the DRAIN TIME less than 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> but greater than or equal to 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, compensatory measures should be taken to ensure the ability to implement mitigating actions should an unexpected draining event occur.

FERMI - UNIT 2 flange, the realistic cross-sectional area is based on the control rod blade seated in the control rod guide tube.
If the control rod blade will be raised from the penetration to adjust or verify seating of the blade, the exposed cross-sectional area of the RPV penetration flow path is used.
The definition of DRAIN TIME excludes from the calculation those penetration flow paths connected to an intact closed system, or isolated by manual or automatic valves that are closed and administratively controlled, blank flanges, or other devices that prevent flow of reactor coolant through the penetration flow paths. A blank flange or other bolted device must be connected with a sufficient number of bolts to prevent draining.
Normal or expected leakage from closed systems or past isolation devices is permitted.
Determination that a system is intact and closed or isolated must consider the status of branch lines.
The Residual Heat Removal (RHR) Shutdown Cooling System is only considered an intact closed system when misalignment issues (Reference 6) have been precluded by functional valve interlocks or by isolation devices, such that redirection of RPV water out of an RHR subsystem is precluded.
- Further, RHR Shutdown Cooling System is only considered an intact closed system if its controls have not been transferred to Remote Shutdown, which disables the interlocks and isolation signals.
The exclusion of a single penetration flow path, or multiple penetration flow paths susceptible to a common mode failure, from the determination of DRAIN TIME should consider the effects of temporary alterations in support of maintenance (rigging, scaffolding, temporary shielding, piping plugs, freeze seals, etc.). If reasonable controls are implemented to prevent such temporary alterations from causing a draining event from a closed system, or between the RPV and the isolation device, the effect of the temporary alterations on DRAIN TIME need not be considered.
Reasonable controls include, but are not limited to, controls consistent with the guidance in MUMARC 93-01, "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 4, NUMARC 91-06, "Guidelines for Industry Actions to Assess Shutdown Management," or commitments to NUREG-0612, "Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants."

FERMI - UNIT 2 Surveillance Requirement 3.0.1 requires SRs to be met between performances. Therefore, any changes in plant conditions that would change the DRAIN TIME requires that a new DRAIN TIME be determined.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.5.2.2 and SR 3.5.2.3 The minimum water level of -66 inches (9 ft O inches actual level) required for the suppression pool is periodically verified to ensure that the suppression pool will provide adequate net positive suction head (NPSH) for the CS subsystem or LPCI subsystem pump, recirculation volume, and vortex prevention.
With the suppression pool water level less than the required limit, the required ECCS injection/spray subsystem is inoperable unless aligned to an OPERABLE CST.
When the suppression pool level is< -66 inches, the required CS System is OPERABLE only if it can take suction from the CST, and the CST water level is sufficient to provide the required NPSH for the CS pump.
Therefore, a verification that either the suppression pool water level is
~ -66 inches or that a required CS subsystem is aligned to take suction from the CST and the CST contains~ 300,000 gallons of water, equivalent to 19 ft, ensures that the CS subsystem can supply at least 150,000 gallons of makeup water to the RPV.
The CS suction is uncovered at the 150,000 gallon level.

FERMI - UNIT 2 SR 3.5.2.4 The LPCI System injection valves and recirculation pump discharge valves are powered from the LPCI swing bus, which must remain energized to support OPERABILITY of any required LPCI subsystem. Therefore, verification of proper voltage and correct breaker alignment to the swing bus is required.
The correct breaker alignment ensures the appropriate electrical power sources are available, and the appropriate voltage is available to the swing bus, including verification that the swing bus is energized. The verification of proper voltage availability ensures that the required voltage is readily available for critical system loads connected to this bus.

This SR is modified by two Notes. Note 1 states that testing the ECCS injection/spray subsystem may be done through the test return line to avoid overfilling the refueling cavity.
Note 2 states that credit for meeting the SR may be taken for normal system operation that satisfies the SR, such as using the shutdown cooling mode of RHR for~ 10 minutes.
The minimum operating time of 10 minutes was based on engineering judgement.

APPLICABILITY ACTIONS FERMI - UNIT 2 Security-Related Information - Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390 PCIVs B 3.6.1.3 or open under administrative controls.
Normally closed automatic PCIVs, are required to have isolation times within limits and actuate on an automatic isolation signal. These passive isolation valves and devices are those listed in Reference 2.
Purge valves with resilient seals. secondary containment bypass valves, MSIVs, and hydrostatically tested valves must meet leakage rate requirements in addition to the other PCIV leakage rates which are addressed by LCD 3.6.1.1. "Primary Containment," as Type B or C testing.
This LCD provides assurance that the PCIVs will perform their designed safety functions to minimize the loss of reactor coolant inventory and establish the primary containment boundary during accidents.
In MODES 1, 2, and 3, a OBA could cause a release of radioactive material to primary containment.
In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES.
Therefore, PCIVs are not required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5.
The ACTIONS are modified by a Note allowing penetration flow path(s) to be unisolated intermittently under administrative controls. These controls consist of stationing a dedicated operator at the controls of the valve, who is in continuous communication with the control room.
In this way, the penetration can be rapidly isolated when a need for primary containment isolation is indicated.

FERMI - UNIT 2 leaking PCIV(s) remain inoperable due to leakage and Condition D remains applicable. Required Action D.2 must also be performed to verify the penetration is isolated on a periodic basis. This is necessary to ensure that primary containment penetrations required to be isolated following an accident are isolated. The Completion Time of "once per 31 days for isolation devices outside primary containment" is appropriate because the devices are operated under administrative controls and the probability of their misalignment is low.
For the devices inside primary containment, the time period specified "prior to entering MODE 2 or 3 from MODE 4, if primary containment was de-inerted while in MODE 4, if not performed within the previous 92 days" is based on engineering judgment and is considered reasonable in view of the inaccessibility of the devices and other administrative controls ensuring that device misalignment is an unlikely possibility.
Required Action D.2 is modified by three Notes.
Note 1 applies to valves and blind flanges located in high radiation areas and allows them to be verified by use of administrative means.
Allowing verification by administrative means is considered acceptable, since access to these areas is typically restricted. Therefore, the probability of misalignment of these valves, once they have been verified to be in the proper position, is low.
Note 2 applies to isolation devices that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position and allows these devices to be verified closed by use of administrative means.
Allowing verification by administrative means is considered acceptable since the function of locking, sealing, or securing components is to ensure that these devices are not inadvertently repositioned.
Note 3 states that verification that the penetration is isolated applies only to penetration flow paths isolated to restore leakage within limits.
E.l and E.2 If any Required Action and associated Completion Time cannot be met, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.
To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

SR 3. 6. 1. 3. 1 This SR ensures that the drywell and suppression chamber purge system isolation valves (6 inch, 10 inch, 20 inch, and 24 inch) and the containment pressure control valves (1 inch) are closed as required or, if open, open for an allowable reason.
If a purge or containment pressure control valve is open in violation of this SR, the valve is considered inoperable. If the inoperable valve is not otherwise known to have excessive leakage when closed, it is not considered to have leakage outside of limits. Primary containment purge and containment pressure control valves are only required to be closed in MODES 1, 2, and 3 (i.e.,
no isolation instrumentation functions of LCO 3.3.6.1 are required to be OPERABLE for isolation of these valves outside of MODES 1, 2, and 3). If a LOCA inside primary containment occurs in these MODES, the purge valves may not be capable of closing before the pressure pulse affects systems downstream of the purge valves.
At other times (e.g., during handling of irradiated fuel), pressurization concerns are not present and the purge and containment pressure control valves are allowed to be open.
The SR is modified by a Note stating that the SR is not required to be met when the purge or containment pressure control valves are open for the stated reasons.

FERMI - UNIT 2 Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
This SR simply imposes additional acceptance criteria. Additionally, some secondary containment bypass paths (refer to UFSAR 6.2.1.2.2.3) use non-PCIVs and therefore are not addressed by the testing Frequency of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, testing.
To address the testing for these valves, the Frequency also includes a requirement to be in accordance with the INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM.
Secondary containment bypass leakage is also considered part of La.
SR 3. 6. 1. 3. 12 The analyses in References 1 and 4 are based on leakage that is less than the specified leakage rate.
Leakage through all four main steam lines must be~ 250 scfh, and
~ 100 scfh for any one steam line, when tested at~ Pt (25 psig). This leakage test is performed in lieu of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Type C test requirements, based on an exemption to 10 CFR 50, Appendix J.
MSIVs have separate leakage limits, and the dose consequence of this leakage path is evaluated separately and added to those calculated from primary containment La leakage, including secondary containment bypass leakage.
As such, this leakage is not combined with the Type Band C leakage rate totals. The Frequency is required by the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
SR 3. 6. 1. 3. 13 Surveillance of hydrostatically tested lines provides assurance that the calculation assumptions of Reference 4 are met.
The acceptance criteria for the combined leakage of all hydrostatically tested lines is 1 gpm times the number of valves per penetration, not to exceed 3 gpm, when tested at 1.1 Pa (~ 62.2 psig). Additionally, a combined leakage rate limit of~ 5 gpm when tested at 1.1 Pa
(~ 62.2 psig) is applied for all hydrostatically tested PCIVs that penetrate containment.
The combined leakage rates must be demonstrated in accordance with the leakage rate test Frequency required by Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.

The specified maximum steady state output voltages of 4314 V for Division I EDGs and 4400 V for Division II EDGs are equal to the maximum operating voltage in plant-specific analyses. This ensures that for a lightly loaded distribution system, the voltage at the terminal of the 460 V motors is no more than 110% of rated voltage.
The specified minimum and maximum frequencies of the EOG are 59.5 Hz and 60.5 Hz, respectively. These values are equal to the frequency limits in the plant-specific analyses to meet recommendations found in Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

An OPERABLE Division of onsite power. consisting of two EDGs associated with Distribution System Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) buses required OPERABLE by LCO 3.8.8, ensures that a diverse power source is available for providing electrical power support assuming a loss of the offsite circuit. Together, OPERABILITY of the required offsite circuit and the ability to manually start EDGs ensures the availability of sufficient AC sources to operate the plant in a safe manner and to mitigate the consequences of postulated events during shutdown (e.g., fuel handling accidents involving recently irradiated fuel).
The qualified offsite circuit(s) must be capable of providing three phases of AC power, maintaining rated frequency and voltage while connected to their respective ESF bus(es). and of accepting required loads during an accident. Qualified offsite circuits are those that are described in the UFSAR and are part of the licensing basis for the unit.
The offsite circuit consists of incoming breakers and disconnect to the station service 64 or 65 transformer. and the respective circuit path including feeder breakers to all 4.16 kV ESF buses required by LCO 3.8.8.

This SR is modified by a Note which precludes requiring the OPERABLE EDGs from being paralleled with the offsite power network or otherwise rendered inoperable during the performance of SRs, and to preclude deenergizing a required 4160 V ESF bus or disconnecting a required offsite circuit during performance of SRs.
With limited AC sources available, a single event could compromise both the required circuit and a required EOG.
It is the intent that these SRs must still be capable of being met. but actual performance is not required during periods when the EDGs and offsite circuit are required to be OPERABLE.
