SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) requests adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) traveler TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, Revise Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) Instrumentation Requirements. The Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.5.1, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Instrumentation, Required Actions are revised to reflect the plant design and the safety significance of inoperable ADS monitoring channels.
2.0 ASSESSMENT
2.1 Applicability of Safety Evaluation TVA has reviewed the safety evaluation for TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, provided to the TSTF in a letter dated January 31, 2024. This review included a review of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs evaluation, as well as the information provided in TSTF-592-A, Revision 2. TVA has concluded that the justifications presented in TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Units 1, 2, and 3, and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to the BFN TS.
2.2 Optional Changes and Variations TVA is proposing the following variations from the TS changes described in TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, or the applicable parts of the NRC staffs safety evaluation:
In BFN TS 3.3.5.1, the 8-day Completion Times for Required Actions F.2 and G.2 are being combined with the Risk Informed Completion Time, similar to the Completion Time for Required Action H.2. While not presented this way in TSTF-592, Revision 2, this non-technical variation provides clarity for operators and is consistent with the intent of the TSTF traveler. This variation is also consistent with a previously NRC-approved amendment for Columbia Generating Station (ML25072A188).
A Note of The Risk Informed Completion Time Program is not applicable when a loss of function occurs. is being added to the Completion Times for Required Actions F.2 and G.2. This change is consistent with the BFN amendments adopting TSTF-505 (ML23073A290).
The BFN TS 3.3.5.1 does not contain the Note to Required Action G.1 regarding which Table 3.3.5.1-1 functions are applicable. Therefore, removal of the Note as described in TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, is not applicable to BFN.
The BFN TS Table 3.3.5.1-1 does not contain Functions 4.h or 5.h (Manual Initiation).
Therefore, the change of the functions from Condition G to Condition H is not applicable to BFN.
All (continued) statements at the bottom of BFN TS Table 3.3.5.1-1 are being deleted.
This is a non-technical variation and is consistent with the BWR/4 STS.
The BFN TS 3.3.5.1 does not contain Required Actions D.2.1 or D.2.2. Therefore, the change to TS Bases 3.3.5.1 Actions D.2.1 and D.2.2 as described in TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, is not applicable to BFN.
Enclosure CNL-25-088 E3 of 5 Unrelated to TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, TVA is including a change to BFN Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.4.5 to add a operator before the 48 amp charging requirement.
This change was not identified during the TS change that resulted in Amendment Nos. 336, 359 and 319 (ML25241A019), and it is intended to clarify the SR for operators and procedure writers. This is a technical variation from TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, that is consistent with the BWR/4 STS.
Unrelated to TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, TVA is including a change to BFN TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.10.3 for Units 2 and 3. This change removes an LCO 3.10.3.d reference to Function 13 of Table 3.3.1.1-1 which was deleted from the BFN TS in 2002 (ML020990743). This is an non-technical variation from TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, and is not applicable to Unit 1.
The BFN ADS initiation logic design differs from the design described in the BWR/4 STS.
The ADS logic in each trip system is arranged in two strings. Each string has a contact from each of the following variables: Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low Low Low, Level 1; Drywell Pressure - High; High Drywell Pressure Bypass Timer; and Pump Discharge Pressure - High.
One of the two strings in each trip system must also have a confirmed Reactor Vessel Water Level - Low, Level 3 (confirmatory). Either the Drywell Pressure - High or the High Drywell Pressure Bypass Timer contacts and all remaining contacts in both logic strings must close and the ADS initiation timer must time out to initiate an ADS trip system. Either the A or B trip system will cause all the ADS relief valves to open. Once the Drywell Pressure - High signal, the ADS High Drywell Pressure Bypass Timer, or the ADS initiation signal is present, it is individually sealed in until manually reset.
This has no effect on the traveler technical justification. No changes to the proposed TS markups are required. The BFN design is reflected in the proposed TS Bases. Therefore, this difference does not affect the applicability of the traveler to BFN.
3.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Analysis Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) requests adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) traveler TSTF-592-A, Revision 2, Revise Automatic Depressurization System (ADS) Instrumentation Requirements. The Technical Specifications (TS) 3.3.5.1, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Instrumentation, Required Actions are revised to reflect the plant design and the safety significance of inoperable ADS monitoring channels.
Enclosure CNL-25-088 E4 of 5 TVA has evaluated if a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendments by focusing on the three standards set forth in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.92, Issuance of amendment, as discussed below:
- 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change revises the applicable TS Required Actions when one or more ADS monitoring channels are inoperable to be consistent with the plant design and the safety significance of the condition. The actions taken when an ADS monitoring channel is inoperable are not an initiator of any accident previously evaluated. The proposed actions implement the appropriate actions to be taken if automatic initiation of ADS is not available (i.e., declaring the ADS valves inoperable), which ensures the equipment assumed to be available to mitigate the consequences of accidents previously evaluated is available or the plant is placed in a safe condition.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The proposed change revises the applicable TS Required Actions when one or more ADS monitoring channels are inoperable to be consistent with the plant design and the safety significance of the condition. The proposed change does not affect the design function or operation of the ADS or the ADS initiation instrumentation. The proposed change does not create a new or different type of failure for the ADS or the ADS initiation instrumentation due to credible new failure mechanisms, malfunctions, or accident initiators not currently considered in the design and licensing bases.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The proposed change revises the applicable TS Required Actions when one or more ADS monitoring channels are inoperable to be consistent with the plant design and the safety significance of the condition. The proposed change does not affect any controlling values of parameters established in the design or licensing basis and does not alter any design basis or safety limit.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Enclosure CNL-25-088 E5 of 5 Based on the above, TVA concludes that the proposed change presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified.
3.2 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
A review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Revision 0 BASES ACTIONS B.1, B.2, and B.3 (continued)
The Completion Time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." For Required Action B.1, the Completion Time only begins upon discovery that redundant features in the same system (e.g.,
both CS subsystems) cannot be automatically initiated due to inoperable, untripped channels within the same Function as described in the paragraph above. For Required Action B.2, the Completion Time only begins upon discovery that the HPCI System cannot be automatically initiated due to inoperable, untripped channels within the same Function as described in the paragraph above. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time from discovery of loss of initiation capability is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration or tripping of channels.
Because of the diversity of sensors available to provide initiation signals and the redundancy of the ECCS design, an allowable out of service time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> has been shown to be acceptable (Ref. 4) to permit restoration of any inoperable channel to OPERABLE status. Alternatively, a Completion Time can be determined in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program (if there is no loss of function). If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, the channel must be placed in the tripped condition per Required Action B.3. Placing the inoperable channel in trip would conservatively compensate for the inoperability, restore capability to accommodate a single failure, and allow operation to continue. Alternately, if it is not desired to place the channel in trip (e.g., as in the case where placing the inoperable channel in trip would result in an initiation), Condition HI must be entered and its Required Action taken.

BASES ACTIONS C.1 and C.2 (continued)
The Note states that Required Action C.1 is only applicable for Functions 1.c, 2.c, 1.e, 2.d, and 2.f. Required Action C.1 is also not applicable to Function 3.c (which also requires entry into this Condition if a channel in this Function is inoperable). The loss of one Function 3.c channel results in a loss of the Function (two-out-of-two logic). This loss was considered during the development of Reference 4 and considered acceptable for the 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowed by Required Action C.2.
The Completion Time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." For Required Action C.1, the Completion Time only begins upon discovery that redundant features in the same system (e.g.,
both CS subsystems) cannot be automatically initiated due to inoperable channels within the same Function as described in the paragraph above. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time from discovery of loss of initiation capability is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration of channels.
Because of the diversity of sensors available to provide initiation signals and the redundancy of the ECCS design, an allowable out of service time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> has been shown to be acceptable (Ref. 4) to permit restoration of any inoperable channel to OPERABLE status. Alternatively, a Completion Time can be determined in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program (if there is no loss of function). If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, Condition HI must be entered and its Required Action taken. The Required Actions do not allow placing the channel in trip since this action would either cause the initiation or it would not necessarily result in a safe state for the channel in all events.
ECCS Instrumentation B 3.3.5.1 (continued)
BFN-UNIT 1 B 3.3-167 Revision 0
BASES ACTIONS E.1 and E.2 (continued)
For Required Action E.1, the Completion Time only begins upon discovery that a redundant feature in the same system (e.g.,
both CS subsystems) cannot be automatically initiated due to inoperable channels within the same Function as described in the paragraph above. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time from discovery of loss of initiation capability is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration of channels.
If the instrumentation that controls the CS pump minimum flow valve is inoperable, such that the valve will not automatically open, extended CS pump operation with no injection path available could lead to pump overheating and failure. If there were a failure of the instrumentation, such that the valve would not automatically close, a portion of the pump flow could be diverted from the reactor vessel injection path, causing insufficient core cooling. These consequences can be averted by the operator's manual control of the valve, which would be adequate to maintain ECCS pump protection and required flow.
Furthermore, other ECCS pumps would be sufficient to complete the assumed safety function if no additional single failure were to occur. The 7 day Completion Time of Required Action E.2 to restore the inoperable channel to OPERABLE status is reasonable based on the remaining capability of the associated ECCS subsystems, the redundancy available in the ECCS design, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during the allowed out of service time. If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, Condition HI must be entered and its Required Action taken. The Required Actions do not allow placing the channel in trip since this action would not necessarily result in a safe state for the channel in all events.
ECCS Instrumentation B 3.3.5.1 (continued)
BFN-UNIT 1 B 3.3-169 Amendment 328
Revision 0 BASES ACTIONS F.1 and F.2 (continued)
Because of the diversity of sensors available to provide initiation signals and the redundancy of the ECCS design, an allowable out of service time of 8 days has been shown to be acceptable (Ref. 4) to permit restoration of any inoperable channel to OPERABLE status if both HPCI and RCIC are OPERABLE.
Alternatively, a Completion Time can be determined in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program (if there is no loss of function). If either HPCI or RCIC is inoperable, the time is shortened to 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br />. If the status of HPCI or RCIC changes such that the Completion Time changes from 8 days to 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> or in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program (if there is no loss of function), the 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> begins upon discovery of HPCI or RCIC inoperability.
However, the total time for an inoperable, untripped channel cannot exceed 8 days. If the status of HPCI or RCIC changes such that the Completion Time changes from 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> to 8 days, the "time zero" for beginning the 8 day "clock" begins upon discovery of the inoperable, untripped channel. If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, the channel must be placed in the tripped condition per Required Action F.2. Placing the inoperable channel in trip would conservatively compensate for the inoperability, restore capability to accommodate a single failure, and allow operation to continue. Alternately, if it is not desired to place the channel in trip (e.g., as in the case where placing the inoperable channel in trip would result in an initiation), Condition HI must be entered and its Required Action taken.

BFN-UNIT 1 B 3.3-170 Revision 0
BASES ACTIONS G.1 and G.2 (continued)
Required Action G.1 is intended to ensure that appropriate actions are taken if multiple, inoperable channels within similar ADS trip system Functions result in automatic initiation capability being lost for the ADS. Automatic initiation capability is lost if either (a) one Function 4.c channel and one Function 5.c channel are inoperable, (b) a combination of Function 4.e, 4.f, 5.e, and 5.f channels are inoperable such that channels associated with five or more low pressure ECCS pumps are inoperable, or (bc) one or more Function 4.g channels and one or more Function 5.g channels are inoperable.
In this situation (loss of automatic initiation capability), the 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> or 8 day allowance, as applicable, of Required Action G.2 is not appropriate, and all ADS valves must be declared inoperable within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after discovery of loss of ADS initiation capability in both trip systems.
The Completion Time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." For Required Action G.1, the Completion Time only begins upon discovery that the ADS cannot be automatically initiated due to inoperable channels within similar ADS trip system Functions as described in the paragraph above. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time from discovery of loss of initiation capability is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration or tripping of channels.

If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, Condition HI must be entered and its Required Action taken. The Required Actions do not allow placing the channel in trip since this action would not necessarily result in a safe state for the channel in all events.
ECCS Instrumentation B 3.3.5.1 (continued)
BFN-UNIT 1 B 3.3-172 Amendment 328
Revision 0 BASES ACTIONS H.1, H.2, and H.3 Required Action H.1 requires that the ADS valves be declared inoperable when a combination of Functions 4.e, 4.f, 5.e, and 5.f channels are inoperable such that neither ADS Trip System A or B has two OPERABLE Pump Discharge Pressure - High channels associated with one low pressure ECCS pump.
In this situation (loss of automatic initiation capability), the 96 hour0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> or 8 day allowance, as applicable, of Required Action H.2 is not appropriate, and all ADS valves must be declared inoperable within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after discovery of loss of ADS initiation capability in both trip systems. The Notes to Required Action H.1 state that Required Action H.1 is only applicable for Functions 4.e, 4.f, 5.e, and 5.f, and that it is only applicable when both ADS trip systems are inoperable due to Core Spray/LPCI Pump Discharge Pressure - High functions being inoperable.
The Completion Time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows for an exception to the normal time zero for beginning the allowed outage time clock. For Required Action H.1, the Completion Time only begins upon discovery that the ADS cannot be automatically initiated due to inoperable channels within similar ADS trip system Functions as described in the paragraph above. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completions Time from discovery of loss of initiation capability is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration of channels. If the inoperable channels cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the Completion Time, Condition I must be entered and its Required Action taken.
ECCS Instrumentation B 3.3.5.1 (continued)
BFN-UNIT 1 B 3.3-173 Amendment 328
Revision 0 BASES ACTIONS H.1, H.2, and H.3 (continued)
Required Action H.2 is intended to ensure that appropriate actions are taken if there are not two OPERABLE Pump Discharge Pressure - High channels associated with one low pressure ECCS pump within one ADS trip system, which results in automatic initiation capability being lost for that ADS trip system. Because of the diversity of sensors available to provide initiation signals and the redundancy of the ECCS design, a Completion Time of 8 days has been shown to be acceptable (Ref. 4) to permit restoration of two inoperable Pump Discharge Pressure - High channels associated with one low pressure ECCS Pump to OPERABLE status if both HPCI and RCIC are OPERABLE (Required Action H.2).
Alternatively, a Completion Time can be determined in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program.
If either HPCI or RCIC is inoperable, the Completion Time shortens to 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> or in accordance with the Risk Informed Completion Time Program. If the status of HPCI or RCIC changes such that the Completion Time changes from 8 days to 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br />, the 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> begins upon discovery of HPCI or RCIC inoperability. However, the total time to restore the required inoperable channels to OPERABLE status cannot exceed 8 days. If the status of HPCI or RCIC changes such that the Completion Time changes from 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> to 8 days, the time zero for beginning the 8 day clock begins upon discovery of the inoperable channel. If the minimum required inoperable channels cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the Completion Time, Condition I must be entered and its Required Action taken. The Required Actions do not allow placing the channel in trip since this action would not necessarily result in a safe state for the channel in all events. The Notes to Required Action H.2 state that Required Action H.2 is only applicable for Functions 4.e, 4.f, 5.e, and 5.f, and that it is only applicable when one ADS trip system is inoperable due to Core Spray/LPCI Pump Discharge Pressure - High functions being inoperable.
ECCS Instrumentation B 3.3.5.1 (continued)
BFN-UNIT 1 B 3.3-174 Amendment 328
Revision 0 BASES ACTIONS H.1, H.2, and H.3 (continued)
Required Action H.3 is intended to ensure that appropriate actions are taken if inoperable channels within one ADS trip system do not result in loss of automatic initiation capability to respond to a design basis event, but require restoration per Table 3.3.5.1-1. This applies to Functions 4.e, 4.f, 5.e, and 5.f.
The 30 day Completion Time of Required Action H.3 is acceptable, based on operating experience, considering the multiple channels available for meeting the low pressure ECCS pump discharge pressure permissive, and the availability of automatic ADS initiation. If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the Completion Time, Condition I must be entered and its Required Action taken.
HI.1 With any Required Action and associated Completion Time not met, the associated feature(s) may be incapable of performing the intended function, and the supported feature(s) (Core Spray, LPCI, HPCI, or ADS) associated with inoperable untripped channels must be declared inoperable immediately.
