Reference:

May 18, 1987 letter (ST-AE-HL-91263) from Mr. Robert L. Perch to Mr. J. H. Goldberg This letter is provided to certify to the best of my knowledge that the Final Draft Technical Specifications for South Texas Unit 1 are consistent with the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), Safety Evaluation Report (SER) and the as-built facility with the exceptions, editorial changes and corrections noted on the attached marked pages. The basis for this certification is as follows.

In the fall of 1985, a three party review group was formed from individuals representing Houston Lighting & Power (H14P), Bechtel and Westinghouse to develop Technical Specifications (Tech Specs) for South Texas Unit 1. Each section of the Standard Technical Specifications (STS),

NUREC-0452, Draft Revision 5 was marked accordingly to reflect the South Texas three safety train design to reflect plant specific design features such as rapid refueling, four Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Pumps, incontainment storage pool, Qualified Display Processing System (QDPS), etc., and to provide flexibility in areas where there exists 100 percent redundancy between the three trains. Each section of the STS was marked and documented by the three party review group and submitted to HIAP Engineering, HL&P Operations, Bechtel and Westinghouse for review and approval. A draft Technical Specifications submittal oased on the results of the three party review was transmitted to the Staff in January 1986. A revision was submitted in July 1986 which included plant specific data not available at the time of the original submitted design changes, results of further analysis, and extended surveillance frequencies and out of service times for the reactor protection system instrumencation based on Westinghouse WCAP-10271.

Ilouston Lighting & Power Company ST-HL-AE-2232 File No.: G9.06 Page 2 In November 1986, Enercon Energy Services was contracted by HL&P to perform an independent review of the South Texas Technical Specifications as of July 1986. Enercon's objective was to assure that the specifications were consistent with the plant licensing basis and represent the current documented plant design. The specifications were reviewed against the FSAR, SER, applicable system descriptions, design calculations and analysis, appropriate correspondence, the Final Environmental Statement (FES), Environmental Report (ER) and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) as well. Each problem or inconsistency identified during the review was recorded on a computerized Technical Specification Review Punchlist.

Resolution of the items identified by Enercon was completed subsequent to the issuance of Proof & Review Technical Specifications by NRC in February 1987. Enercon characterized the items identified as isolated errors and further stated that no evidence of programmatic deficiencies in the formalization of the STPEGS Technical Specifications was found during the review process.

Additionally, HL&P undertook a review of short term Technical Specification improvements, which had been granted for nuclear plants, such as Seabrook, Perry, Vogtle and McGuire, to identify whether similar relief could be granted for South Texas. Based upon the results of this review, each improvement was addressed on a plant specific basis for South Texas and submitted to the Staff for approval.

Changes to the Technical Specifications resulting from the preoperational testing of the as-built facility have been identified for resolution. Some issues have previously been resolved while the remaining issues are addressed in the attached pages. Bechtel and HL&P reviewed the Technical Specifications against the FSAR and provided additional changes to the FSAR to reflect current analysis and design calculations. These FSAR changes will be provided in an upcoming amendment to the FSAR as well as submitted via separate letter for the Staff's immediate use. These changes do not affect certification of the South Texas Technical Specifications and are provided as a result of FSAR, SER, and Technical Specification consistency review. Westinghouse has certified to HL&P that the Technical Specification values within the Westinghouse scope are derived from the analyses and evaluations included in the South Texas Project FSAR submitted pursuant to 10CFR50.34 and in accordance with the Westinghouse Quality Assurance Plan (WCAP-8370/7800).

Regarding the items identified in the Staff's May 18, 1986 letter which required FSAR revisions, information or revised values to support certification of Technical Specifications, the following submittals were provided:

Attechmsnt 1 ST-HL-AE-2232 Page 1 of 39 Technical Changes with Justification

1. Revisions reflect incorporation of Containment Phase "B" Isolation signal. These changes were previously submitted to the NRC via letter ST-HL-AE-2182 dated May 19, 1987.
2. The F-15 interlock is logically equivalent to NOT P-10. Table 3.3-1, l ACTION 8 for P-10 requires that with less than the Minimum Number of i Channels OPERABLE, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> determine by observation of the I associated permissive annunciator windows that the interlock is in its l required state. Since P-15 and NOT P-10 are logically the same, the required ACTION for Table 3.3-3, 9d should be 21,
3. The "**" note for 5f, Table 3.3-4 is inappropriate since it applies to time constants for steam pressure.
4. A change in feedwater isolation valve closure time from 5 to 10 seconds is reflected. The need for this change has been identified in recent preoperational tests, and the justification for this change will be I

provided as soon as possible in a separate letter to the Staff.

5. At STP, the interlock from power range neutron flux to excessive cooldown protection is designated P-15. It is logically equivalent to NOT P-10, as shown on FSAR Figure 7.2-4. The July 24, 1985 letter from H. R.

Denton (NRC) to L. D. Butterfield (Westinghouse Owners Group) provided tha NRC markup of the W Standard Technical Specifications for WCAP-10271 impacts and the rationale for these revisions. In that letter, NRC indicated that the ACOT for P-10 should be revised from M(8) to R, where Note 8 had said "with power greater than or equal to the Interlock Setpoint the required ANALOG CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (ACOT) shall consist of verifying that the interlock is in the required state by observing the permissive annunciator window". The revision to at least once per 18 months (R) is justified by :'ote 4 in the " Notes on the format of marked-up W STS" of that letter. We believe that the same rationale noted for P-10 in RTS is applicable to P-15 in the ESFAS, and have therefore revined the ACOT for P-15 in Table 4.3-2 from M(3) to R, and deleted Note 3.

6. The "***" note was added for clarity and consistency with Technical Specification 3.6.2.3 where it is indicated that there must be OPERABLE a minimum of two units in two groups and one unit in the third group giving a total of 5 RCFCs. If the "***" is not added, then it is necessary to make the Total Number of Channels "5" and the Minimum Channels Operable "3". Please note that this portion of the Remote Shutdown Table 3.3-9, as agreed upon by the Staff on May 4 and 5, 1987, does not have to meet single failure criteria. Additionally, note that only "3" RCFCs ce needed to cool containment during transients.
7. These flowrate monitors have no trip alarm or interlock setpoints.

Therefore, the ACOT is not applicable.

8. Valve CV0215 for Units 1 & 2 has been locked in place. The handwheel has been removed and stored. A riser clamp, pipe and plate was fabricated and welded into place with weld points on the riser clamp and another on the pipe. Also, the clamp was secured together with a padlock.
9. It will be necessary to add a footnote to LCO 3.5.6c since the RHR Suction Isolation Valves are being power locked out in order to meet 10CFR50, Appendix R requirements. This issue has been discussed with the Staff on May 14, 1987.
10. A new fluence curve is provided for immediate use. See HL&P letter ST-HL-AE-2230 dated June 3,1987 for justification and associated FSAR changes,
11. The total relieving capacity is the product of the individual valve capacity and the total number of valves (1,032,645 lbs/hr/ valve x 20 valves - 20.65E6 lbs/hr). The total secondary steam flow is 16.94E6 lbs/hr as shown on FSAR figure 10.1-1.
12. The value of P-8 changed in WCAP-11273 Rev. O, South Texas Setpoint Methodology, from 48% to 40% Rated Thermal Power as well as 90% to 92%

Nominal full loop flow.

13. Editorial; reflects recent organization changes.
14. The total number of channels has been clarified to show 1/ loop-4 loops.

The minimum channels OPERABLE has been revised to permit one channel to be inoperable. These revisions are necessary so that operation may continue with less than 1 Tavg-low channel per loop, provided certain conditions are met.

15. As indicated in FSAR Figure 10.2-8. there are six turbine reheat stop and intercept valves.
16. There appears to be a typographical error in the standard since the notes apply to the mark ups provided.
17. The changes provided are necessary in order to make Specification 3.8.3.2 consistent with the Mode 5 and 6 Specification 3.8.1.2. Note that Specification 3.8.1.2 requires two diesel generators to be OPERABLE.

Accordingly, two trains of emergency power are required.

18. The Shutdown Margin for South Texas, as shown in Figure 3.1-1, is variable and the Bases should reflect this factor.
19. South Texas specific design.
20. According to Standard Review Plan 6.2.4, sealed closed isolation valves include mechanical devices to seal or lock the valve closed or to prevent power from being supplied to the valve operator. HL&P cannot determine a reason to require the valves to be sealed closed.

. LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Pressurizer Pressure 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 which 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-0, mately 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER with a turbine impulse chamber pressure at approximately 10% of full power equivalent); and on increasing power, auto-matically reinstated by P-7.

Reactor Coolant Flow The Low Reactor Coolant Flow trips provide core protection to prevent DNB by mitigating the consequences of a loss of flow resulting from the loss of one or more reactor coolant pumps. grMdf 98.%

On increasing power above P-7 (a power level of approximately 10% of b

RATED THERMAL POWER or a turbine impulse amber pressure at approximately 10%

of full power equivalent), an au matic Reactor trip will occur if the flow in more than one loop drops below 0 o nominal full loop flow. Above P-8 (a power level of approximately 4 of RATED THERMAL POWER) an automatic Reactor trip will occur if the flow in any single loop drops below 0 of. nominal full loop flow. Conversely, on decreasing power between P-8 nd the P-7, an automatic Reactor trip will ccur on low reactor coolant flo in more than one loop, and below P-7 the trip function is automatically locked.

Steam Generator Water Level foYo

  • 1PYOW Y f l0 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 3 resulting from loss of normal feedwater. The specified Setpoint provides

,) allowances, for starting delays of the Auxiliary Feedwater System.

In the analysis of this accident, a e mirimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.75% ak/k is required to control the reactivity transient.

The boron dilution analysis assumed a common RCS volume, and maximum dilution flow rate for MODES 3 and 4, and a different volume and flow rate for MODE 5.

Jhe MODE 5 conditions assumed limited mixing in the RCS and cooling with the RHR system only. In MODES 3 and 4 it was assumed that at least one reactor cociant pump was operating. If at least one reactor coolant pump is not operat-ing in MODE 3 or 4, then the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements for MODE 5 shall apply.

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.

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 orcer 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 50tJTH TEXAS - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-1

(~) BASES ST HL AE-M3A rmac. w vi y B0 RATION SYSTEMS (Continued) 1 The boron capability required below 200*F is sufficient to provide a variable SHUTOOWN MARGIN based on the results of a boron dilution accident analysis where the SHUTOOWN MARGIN is varied as a function of RCS boron concentration after xenon decay and cooldown from 200*F to 140*F. This condition requires either 2900 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage system or 122,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the RWST for MODE 5 and 33,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the RWST for MODE 6.

The contained water volume limits incluce 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 7.5 and 10.0 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. -

The OPERABILITY of one Boron Injection System during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.

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 259 steps withdrawn for the Control Banks and 18, g f and 259 steps with- /_1L\

drawn for the Shutdown Banks provides assurances that N Digital Rod Position Indicator is operating correctly over the full range of indication. Since the Digital Rod Position Indicatio stem does not indicate the actual shutdown rod position between 18 steps and steps, only points in the indicated ranges I are picked for verification of agreement with demanded position.

, The ACTION statements which permit limited variations from the basic l

requirements'are accompanied by additional restrictions which ensure that the original design criteria are met. Misalignment of a rod requires measurement of peaking factors and a restriction in THERMAL POWER. These restrictions pro-t vide assurance of fuel rod integrity during continued operation. In addition, those safety analyses affected by a misaligned rod are reevaluated to confirm that the results remain valid during future operation.

i The maximum rod drop time restriction is consistent with the assumed rod drop time used in the safety analyses. Measurement with T avg greater than or l

equal to 561*F and with all reactor coolant pumps operating ensures that the measured drop times will be representative of insertion times experienced during a Reactor trip at operating conditions.

3/4.7.1 TURBINE CYCLE 3/4.7.1.1 SAFETY VALVES The OPERABILITY of the main steam line Code safety valves ensures that the Secondary System pressure will be limited to within 110% 1413.5 psig of its design pressure of 1285 psig during the most severe anticipated system operational transient. The maximum relieving capacity is associated with a Turbine trip from 100% RATED THERMAL POWER coincident with an assumed loss of condenser heat sink (i.e. , no steam bypass to the condenser).

co. c r g The specified valve lift settings and relieving capacities are in accordance with the requirements of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code, 1971 Edition. The total relieving capacity for all valves on all of the steam lines is x 108 lbs/h which is 122% of the total secondary steam flow of . x 106 lbs at 100% RATED THERMAL POWER. A minimum of two OPERABLE safety valves per steam generator ensures that sufficient relieving capacity is S . y available for the allowable THERMAL POWER restriction in Table 3.7-1.

STARTUP and/or POWER OPERATION is allowable with safety valves inoperable within the limitations of the ACTION requirements on the basis of the reduction in Secondary Coolant System steam flow and THERMAL POWER required by the reduced Reactor trip settings of the Power Range Neutron Flux channels. The Reactor Trip Setpoint reductions are derived on the following bases:

SP = (X) - (Y)(V) x (109)

Where:

SP = Reduced Reactor Trip Setpoint in percent, of RATED THERMAL V = Maximum number of inoperable safety valves per steam line, 109 = Power Range Neutron Flux-High Trip Setpoint for four icop operation, X '= Total relieving capacity of all safety valves per steam line in lbs/ hour, and Y = Maximum relieving capacity of any one safety valve in lbs/ hour SOUTH TEXAS - UNIT 1 B 3/4 7-1 l

a) Containment Atmosphere Radiation Monitor - Noble Gas Channel, b) Containment Normal Sump Level and Flow Monitoring System, and c) Containment Atmosphere Radiation Monitor - Particulate Channel.

The Containment Atmosphere Radiation Monitor has three channels: noble gas, iodine and particulate, all on the same skid, with one sample pump, one microprocessor and the associated tubing, valves and instrumentation It is anticipated that performance of the DJ' 41 Channel Operational Test (required by Specification 4.3.3.1) will e .pproximately 2 to 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />.

Therefore, performance of the Digital Channel ational Test places the plant in Technical Specification 3.0.3 and dc .ot provide sufficient time for correction of any problems found during the test. The net result will be a rapid shutdown of the plant in lieu of an opportunity to correct the problem.

If any of the common equipment (such as the sample pump) becomes inoperable, items (a) and (c) would be inoperable. Again, in this instance, the plant would be required to be Technical Specification 3.0.3.

The sample pump manufacturer recommends pump replacement at 1-1/2 year intervals. Replacement of a sample pump takes approximately 2 to 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> to accomplish. With the monitor located outside the containment, drawing its sample from inside through containment isolation valves, closure of the containment isolation valves can cause stresses to be placed on the sample pump and other monitor components.

Based on the above considerations, and also considering the importance of monitoring for RCS leakage, STP believes that an appropriate action when both channels are inoperable is as follows:

With (a) and (c) of the above required Leakage Detection Systems inoperable:

i

1) Restore either monitoring System ((a) or (c)) to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, and i

The markup below provides the actions that STP believes are appropriate.

Actions (a) and (b) are identical to the Action presented in the Final Draft Technical Specifications. Action (c) provides an appropriate repair time for common equipment on the containment atmosphere radiation monitor skid and still provides appropriate measures to detect RCPB leakage during the repair time.

HL&P has reviewed Technical Specifications and FSARs of other plants to identify those with a similar design for RCS leakage instrumentation.

Recently licensed plants with similar designs include Byron and Shearon Harris. The attached markup reflects the Byron Technical Specification wording; the Shearon Harris Technical Specification wording is equivalent.

REVISED ACTION SPECIFICATION 3.4.6.1

Attachment 3 ST-HL-AE-2232 Page 1 of 4 FINAL DRAFT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFICATION 3/4.3.3.1 Submittals made by HL&P for Technical Specification 3/4.3.3.1, Radiation Monitoring for Plant Operations, have consistently shown Item 1.a (Containment Atmosphere Radioactivity - High) as deleted, not applicable for the STP design.

The Standard Technical Specification combines entries of 2 channels minimum operable (with 1 required to trip / alarm), the alarm setpoint being shown in mR/hr and the action statement saying that with less than the minimum operable requirement, operation may continue provided the containment purge valves are closed. The Standard Technical Specification written in this manner implies that two area monitors are required operable and that either one of these monitors reading above the setpoint results in automatic containment purgo valve closure.

The STP design for containment purge valve automatic closure has been the subject of extensive review, with the design modifications and final design being presented in HL&P letter to NRC ST-HL.AE-2141, dated May 8, 1987. It is our understanding that this design is acceptable to the staff. This final design does not include atmosphere radiation monitor input to the containment ventilation isolation signal. Thus Item 1.a has been shown as deleted and not applicable to the STP design in our submittals.

The Final Draft Technical Specifications Table 3.3-6 requirements show that a radiation monitor for containment atmosphere radioactivity shall be operable in all modes, and if the monitor is inoperable, operation may continue for up to 30 days provided containment atmosphere samples are taken and analyzed every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. The concerns that STP has about these requirements are discussed below.

The containment atmosphere monitor has three channels - noble gas, particulate and iodine. Item 1.a of Table 3.3-6 does not indicate which channel (s) are required by this specification. The noble gas and particulate channels are required by Items 1.b.1) and 2). It is believed, based upon discussions with the NRC staff (see below), that the intent of this requirement would be satisfied by use of the noble gas channel.

The Technical Specification is applicable in all Modes. The containment atmosphere monitor particulate and noble gas channels are required operable in modes 1 through 4 for RCS leakage detection. The action required when the monitor is inoperable in these modes is identical to that required by Specification 3.4.6.1, and thus presents no particular concern. However, the requirement for operability in all modes adds the requirement in Modes 5 and 6, which are considered to be non operational modes. Thus, when the monitor is inoperable in Mode 5 or 6, the statement that operation may continue for up to 30 days provided ... would seem to be a non requirement. We are at present unable to determine what the action statement actually requires in Modes 5 and 6.

L3/NRC/eq

Attachment 3 ST-llL AE 2232 Page 2 of 4 The concerns presented by the NRC staff during a telephone conference on April 29, 1987, regarding operability of the containment atmosphere monitor, included monitoring to establish that concentrations are acceptable for initiation of purging and monitoring for personnel protection.

Based upon the concerns identified in the interpretation cf the Final Draft Technical Specification requirements noted above, the existing Technical Specification requirement to either use the Table 3.3 4 ESEAS aetpoint for the RCB purge radiation monitors or to establish an appropriate setpoint based on the ODCM methodology, which would require knowledge of the current containment atmosphere concentrations, and the requirement for plant procedures to address 4 monitoring for personnel radiation protection, llL&P again requests that Item

, 1.a be deleted. Should this request not be granted, llL&P then requests a clarification to the table to address the above concerns.

Attachment 4 ST HL AE 2232 Page 1 of 3 FINAL DRAFT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.5.1.1.c The design of the controls and power supply for the accumulator discharge isolation valves has followed the recommendations of Branch Technical Positions (BTP) ICSB 4 " Requirements on Motor Operated Valves in the ECCS Accumulator Lines" and ICSB 18 " Application of the Single Failure Criterion to Manually controlled Electrically Operated Valves".

l ICSB 18 sets forth the NRC position that use of power removal to valves is authorized in order to satisfy the single failure criterion. In this caso, the failuro of an accumulator discharge isolation valvo is not considered in the ECCS single failure analysis, on the basis that power is locked out to the valva motor operator. When it in desired to use power lockout to satisfy the single failure critorion, the design requirements given in BTP ICSB 18 includes the requirement that electrical power can be restored to the valves from the control room (BTP ICSB 18, Section B.3, item a).

The application of the two BTPs for the accumulator dischargo isolation valves is described in FSAR Sections 6.3.5.5.1 and 7.6.3. The logic diagram for those valves is shown on FSAR Figure 7.6-3, Sheets 1 and 2. The design has been evaluated in the South Texas Project SER, with some discussion in Section 6.3 and extensive discussion in Section 7.6.2.2. The staff has found the STP design to be acceptable, as indicated in SER Sections 6.3 and 7.6.2.2.

The hot log isolation valves also have been evaluated for purposes of meeting the single failure criterion, with the result that power lockout has been provided for those valvos as well. The power lockout for these valvos is discussed in FSAR Sections 6.3.5.5.2 and 7.6.7. The logic diagram for these valves is shown on FSAR Figures 7.6 10. The design has been evaluated in the i STP SER, in Section 6.3.2, as acceptable for meeting the single failure criterion based on power lockout.

As can be soon from referenced FSAR sections and figures, power lockout i

for the accumulator discharge isolation valves and the hot leg isolation i valvos is identical, and allows restoration of electrical power to the valves from the control room. As can also be seen on the referenced figures, position indicating lights are provided on 'the control board for the motor breaker position, for use in verifying removal of power from the valve operator, i

! Final Draf t Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.5.1.1.c for the accumulator discharge isointion valves requires " verifying that power to the isolation valve operator is disconnected by removal of the breaker from the circuit." This requirement has been interpreted to mean that the MCC breaker must be physically removed, would require ro. installation for the valve oporator to be supplied power. This reinstallation must be dono at the MCC, Removal of the breaker physiently from the MCC renders the power lockout switch at the main control room useless, which raises a human factors concern.

L3/NRC/eq

Attachment 4 ST llL AE 2230 Page 2 of 3 Final Draft Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.5.2.a for the ECCS hot leg isolation valves requires verifying that the "valvos are in the indicated positions with power to the valve operators removed". This requirement allows use of the system design for power removal from the valve operator, retaining the ability to repower the operator with actions strictly from the control room.

On the basis that STP has provided an accepted design for meeting single failure criterion and provisions of BTP ICSB 18 requiring power restoration capability from the control room, and the design similarity of the accumulator discharge isolation valvo and the hot log isolation valve control logic, STP believes that the surveillance requirements for the two applications in regard to power lockout should bo identical. Accordingly, we submit that Surveillance Requirement 4.5.1.1.c should read as follows:

At least once per 31 days when the RCS pressure is above 1000 psig by verifying that power to the isolation valve operator is removed.

SPECIFICATION 4.6.1.3.e Technical Specifications Surveillance requirement 4.6.1.3.e has been revised based on the pressure differential derived from the guaranteed minimum seal inflation pressure and the minimum required seal inflation pressure. The '

seal inflation, under normal operation, is provided by the plant air supply I system, and it is prescribed to be an inflation pressure within 90 to 95 psig subject to a maximum of 110 psig with a guaranteed minimum of 90 psig. The minimum inflation pressure required for the seals to retain the containment DBA pressure of 37.5 psig is 65 psig. Therefore, in the event of loss of plant air supply, the allowable pressure loss for the inflatable seals is 25 .

psi (90 65 psig). The prescribed acceptance criterion for pressure loss during the seal pressure decay test is set at 1.5 psi / day. That daily rate, when extended to a period of 15 days, amounts to a pressure loss of 22.5 psi which is within the allowable value of 25 pai.

The minimum required inflation pressure of 65 psig corresponding to a containment pressure of 37.5 psig has been confirmed by tests performed on both doors of the personnel airlock.

ATTACHMENT 6 SAFETY LIMITS OF 41

(

(, 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 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.

310r The entire RCS is hydrotested at 125% (&HU)-psig) of design pressure, to .

demonstrate integrity prior to initial operation. ,

vide core protection against DNB as a result of complete loss of forced coolant 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 Underfrequency Reactor Coolant Pump Bus trips are automatically blocked by P-7 (a power level of approximately 10%

of RATED THERMAL POWER with a turbine impulse chamber pressure at approximately 10% of full power equivalent); and on increasing power, reinstated automatically by P-7.

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 50% of RATED THERMAL POWER); and on increasing power, reinstated automatically by P-9.

Safety Injection Input from ESFAS If a Reactor trip has not already been generated by the Reactor Trip System instrumentation, the ESFAS automatic actuation logic channels will initiate a Reactor trip upon any signal which initiates a Safety Injection. The ESFAS instrumentation channels which initiate a Safety Injection signal are shown in Table 3.3-3.

Reactor Trip System Interlocks The Reactor Trip System interlocks perform the following fu ions:

P-6 On increasing power, P-6 allows the manual block of he ource Range trip (i.e., prevents premature block of Source Rar.ge ri and deenergizes the high voltage to the detectors) On dec g power, Source Range Level trips are automatically reactivated and high voltage restored.

P-7 On increasing power, P-7 automatically enables Reactor trips on low flow in more than one reactor coolant loop, reactor coolant pump bus undervoltage and underfrequency, pressurizer low pressure, and pressurizer high level. On decreasing power, the above listed trips

.( are automatically blocked.

BASES MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (Continued) 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 a transformed into the limiting MTC value -4.0 x 10 4 ok/k/*F. The MTC value o f -3.1 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 concentration and is obtained by making these corrections to the limiting MTC value of -4.0 x 10 4 Ak/k/*F.

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 Systeni average temperature less than 561*F. This

. M ~ limitation (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within$isanalyzedrequiredtemperature tonensure: range, (2) the trip instrumentation is within its normal operating range, (3) the pressurizer is capr'le of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and (4) the reactor vessel is above its minimum RT NDT temperature. .

I 3/4.1.2 B0 RATION SYSTEMS-C The Boron Injection System ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to r perform this function include: (1) borated water sources, (2) charging pumps, l

(3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid transfer pumps, and (5) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE _ diesel generators.

With the RCS average temperature above 350'F, a minimum of two boron injection flow paths are required to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the flow paths inoperable. The boration capability of either flow path is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions of 1.75% Ak/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at EOL from full power equilibrium xenon conditions and requires 27,000 gallons of 7000 ppa borated water from the boric acid storage system or 458,000 gallons of 2500 ppe borated water from the refueling water storage l tank -(RWST).- The RWST volume is an ECCS requirement and is more than adequate for the required boration capability. 4],e p.&/ so oxx With the RCS temperature below 350'F, one acceptable without single failure consideratio/oron/njection3ptr n on the basis of the stable is reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohib,iting

The limitation for a maximum of one charging pump to be OPERABLE and the

the SHUTDOWN MARGIN is varied as a function of RCS boron concentration after xenon decay and cooldown from 200*F to 140*F. This condition requires either 2900 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage system or 122,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the RWST for MODE 5 and 33,000 gallons of 2500 ppm borated water from the RWST for MODE 6.

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 7.5 and 10.0 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.

The OPERABILITY of one Boron Injection System during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.

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 259 steps withdrawn for the Control Banks and'18, 210, and 259 steps with-drawn for the Shutdown Banks provides assuranc.es that the Digital Rod Position Indicator is operating correctly over the full range of indication. Since the

~

Digital Rod Position Indication System do'es not indicate the actual shutdown rod position between M steps and 210 steps, only points in the indicated ranges are picked for vetification of agreement with demanded position.

The ACTI0tpstatements which permit limited variations from the basic requirements are accompanied by additional restrictions which ensure that the original design criteria are met. Misalignment of a red requires measurement l of peaking factors and a restriction in THERMAL POWER. These restrictions pro-I vide assurance of fuel rod integrity during continued operation. In addition, those safety analyses affected by a misaligned rod are reevaluated to confirm that the results remain valid during future operation.

The maximum rod drop time restriction is consistent with the assumed rod drop time used in the safety analyses. Measurement with T,yg greater than or equal to 561*F and with all reactor coolant pumps operating ensures that the

{ measured drop times will be representative of insertion times experienced during a Reactor trip at operating conditions.

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 RTPq F limit for RATED THERMAL POWER (F ) as provided in the Radial Peaking xy Factor Limit Report per Specification 6.9.1.6 was determined from expected power control manuevers over the full range of burnup conditions in the core.

Radial power distribution measurements are made during STARTUP testing and periodically during power operation.

The limits are consistent with the g,q initial FSAR assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain a minimum DNBR of 1.30 throughout each analyzed transient. The value of 598 F and the indicated pressurizer pressure value of indicated T,yg 2201 psig are provided assuming that the readings from four channels will be averaged before comparing with the required limit. The flow requirement (395,000 gpm) includes a measurement uncertainty of 3.5%.

REACTOR TRIP SiSTEM and ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) is the difference, in percent span, between the trip setpoint and the value used in the analysis for the actuation. 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 2.2-1 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 Setpoints 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 cperating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes. Rack drift 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, b The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides 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. No credit was taken in the analyses for those channels with response times indicated as not applicable. Response time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel test measurements provided that such tests demonstrate the total channel response time as defined.

Sensor response time verification may be demonstrated by either: (1) in place, onsite, or offsite test measurements, or (2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times. .

The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System senses selected plant parameters and determines whether or not predetermined limits are being exceeded.

If they are, the signals are combined into logic matrices sensitive to combina-tions indicative,of various accidents, events, and transients. Once the required logic tombination is completed, the system sends actuation signals to those Engineered Safety Features components whose aggregate function best serves the requirements of the ' condition.

BASES CHEMISTRY (Continued) 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 excess 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 continued operation within the restrictions of the Transient Limits provides time for taking corrective actions to restore the contaminant concen-trations to within the Steady-State Limits.

The Surveillance Requirements provide adequate assurance that concentrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective 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 BOUNDARY will not exceed an appropriately 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 STPEGS site, such as SITE BOUNDARY location and meteorological conditions, were not considered in this evaluation.

The ACTION statement permitting POWER OPERATION te continue for limited time periods with the reactor coolant's specific activity greater than 1 microcurie / gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131, but within the allowable limit shown on Figure 3.4-1, accomodates possible iodine spiking phenomenon which may occur following changes in THERMAL POWER.

The choice of 0 inutes for the half-life cutoff was'made because of the nuclear characteris ics of the typical reactor coolant radioactivity.

3/4.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS

{ BASES ,

3/4.5.1 ACCUMULATORS The OPERABILITY of each Reactor Coolant System (RCS) accumulator ensures that a sufficient volume of borated water will be immediately forced into the ,

reactor core through three cold legs in the event 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 represent a spread about an average value used in the safety analys.is and have been demonstrated by sensitivity studies to vary the peak clad temperature by less than 20*F. The limit on  ;

accumulator pressure ensures that the assumptions used for accumulator injec- ,

tion in the safety analysis are met. '

l

~

l The accumulator power operated isolation valves are considered to be I

" operating bypasses" in the context of IEEE Std. 279-1971, which r'e quires 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 minirizes the time exposure of the plant to a'LOCA event occurring concurrent with failure of an additional accumulator which may result in unacceptable peak cladding temperatures. If a closed isolation valve cannot be opened within one hour, the full capability of one

.C.' accumulator is not avai1able 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 three 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.

Each 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. One ECCS is -

assumed to discharge completely through the postulated break in the RCS loop.

Thus, three trains are required to satisfy the single failure criterion. Note that the centrifugal charging pumps the RHR pumps are not used in the in-jectionphaseof,theECCS. EachECCSsubsystemandtheRHRpumpsgrovide long-term core. cooling capability in the recirculation mode during the accident recovery period. pytyy of ECcS] And he.at excha.rvytrS When the RCS temperature is below 350*F, the ECCS requirements are balanced between the limitations imposed by the low temperature overpressure protection and the requirements necessary to mitigate the consequences of a LOCA below 350*F. At these temperatures, single failure considerations are not required because of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements. Only a single Low Head Safety Injection pump is required to mitigate the effects of a large-break LOCA in this mode. However, two are provided to accommodate the possibility that the break occurs.in a loop con-

(. taining one of the Low' Head pumps. Low Head Safety Injection pumps are not required inoperable below 350 F because their shutoff head is too low to impact the low temperature overpressure protection limits.

ECCS SUBSYSTEMS (Continued)

Below 200 F (MODE 5) no ECCS pumps are required, so the High Head Safety Injection pumps are locked out to prevent cold overpressure.

Surveillance Requirements for flow testing provide assurance that proper ECCS flows will be gngagnedi,nfh,eeventofaLOCA.

3/4.5.5 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 or a steamline break. The limits on RWST minimum volume and boron concentration ensure that: (1) sufficien't water is available within containment to permit recirculation cooling flow to the core, (2) the reactor will remain subcritical in the cold condition (68*F to 212 F) following a small break LOCA assuming complete mixing of the RWST, RCS, Spray Additive Tank, Containment Spray System and ECCS water volumes with all con-trol rods inserted except the most reactive control rod assembly (ARI-1),

(3) the reactor will remain subcritical in cold condition following a large break LOCA (break flow area > 3.0 ft )2assuming complete mixing of the RWST, RCS, Spray Additive Tank, Containment Spray System and ECCS water volumes

{., and other sources of water that may eventually reside in the sump post-LOCA with all control rods assumed to be out (ARO), and (4) long term subcriticality -

following a steamline break assuming ARI-1 and preclude fuel failure.

The maximum allowable value for the RWST boron concentration forms the basis for determining the time (post-LOCA) at which operator action is required to switch over the ECCS to hot leg recirculation in order to avoid precipita-tion of the soluble boron.

The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics.

The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.5 and 10.0 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 syste,ms and components.

3/4.5.6 RESIDtfAL HEAT REMOVAL (RHR) SYSTEM ,

The OPERABILITY of the RHR system ensures adequate heat remov'al capabili-ties for Long-Term Core Cooling in the event of a small-break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), an isolatable LOCA, or a secondary break in MODES 1, 2, and 3.

The limits on the OPERABILITY of the RHR system ensure that at least one RHR loop is available for cooling including single active failure criteria.

The surveillances ensure that RHR system isolation valves close upon an overpressure protection system signal.

ing the average air temperature. l 3/4.6.1.6 CONTAINMENT STRUCTUR'AL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility. Structural integrity is required to ensure that the containment will with-stand the maximum pressure of 37.5 psig in the event of a LOCA or steam line break accident. The measurement of containment tendon lift-off force, the tensile tests of.the tendon wires er strandy, the visual examination of ten-dons, anchorages and exposed interior and) exterior surfaces of the containment, and the Type A, leakage test are sufficien to demonstrate this capability.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the containment's structural integrity are in compliance with the recommendations of proposed Regulatory

s. Guide 1.35, " Inservice Surveillance of Ungrouted Tendons in Prestressed Concrete
< Containment Structures," April 1979, and proposed Regulatory Guide 1.35.1, " Deter-mining Prestressing Forces for Inspection of Prestressed Concrete Containments,"

3/4.6.1.7 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM The 48-inch containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves are required to be sealed closed during plant operations since these valves have not been demonstrated capable of closing during a LOCA or steam line break accident.

Maintaining.these valves sealed closed during plant operation ensures that exces-sive quantities of radioactive materials will not be released via the Containment Purge System. To provide assurance that these containment valves cannot be inad-vertently opened, the valves are sealed closed in accordance with Standard Review Plan 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 18-inch purge supply and exhaust isolation valves since, unlike the 48-inch valves, the 18-inch

Each auxiliary feedwater pump is capable of delivering a total feedwater flow of 540 gpm at a pressure of 1324 psig to the entrance of the steam generators.

The requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergo a performance evaluation in view of their age and operating conditions. These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service life.

3/4.7.10 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak '

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, 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 or boron measuring devices) are considered to be stored and need not be tested unless they are removed from the shielded mechanism.

BASES -

3/4.9.6 REFUELING MACHINE The OPERABILITY requirements for the refueling machine and auxiliary ,

hoist ensure that: (1) the refueling machine and auxiliary hoist will be used for movement of drive rods and fuel assemblies, (2) the refueling machine has sufficient load capacity to lift a drive rod or fuel assembly, and (3) the core internals and reactor vessel are protected from excessive lifting force in the event they are inadvertently engaged during lifting operations.

3/4.9.7 CRANE TRAVEL - FUEL HANDLING BUILDING 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, unless handled by the single-failure proof main hoist of the FHB 15-ton crane, 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 COOLANT 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 REFUELIhG MODE, and (2) sufficient coolant circulation is maintained through the core to minimize the effect of a boron dilution incident and prevent boron stratification.

Therequirementtoh$vetwoRHRloopsOPERABLEwhenthereislessthan 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 cf 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.

3/4.9.10 and 3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL -4EAGTOR-VE33Ei .nd S?CNT T'J CL r^^L The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water a 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 consistent with the assumptions of the safety analysis.

3/4.9.12 FUEL HANDLING BUILDING EXHAUST AIR SYSTEM The listtations on'the Fuel Handling Building Exhaust Air System ensure that all radioactive material released from an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to discharge -

to the atmosphere. Operation of the system with the heaters operating for at i

least 10 continuous hours in a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the build-up of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters. The OPERABILITY of this system and the resulting iodine removal capacity are consistent with the assump-tions of the safety analyses. ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing.

3/4.11.2.3 DOSE - IODINE-131 M 133 TRITIUM, AND RADI0 ACTIVE MATERIAL IN PARTICULATE FORM This specification is provided to implement the requirosants of Sections II.C III.A and IV.A of Ap endik I, 10 CFR Part 50. The Limiting Conditions for Operation are the guides ' set forth in Section II.C of Appendix I. The ACTION statements provide the required operating. flexibility and at the same time implement the guides set forth in Section IV. A of AppcMix I to assure that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents to UNRESTRICTED AREAS will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." The OOCH calculational methods specified in the Surveillance Requirements implement the requirements in Section III. A of Appendix I that conformance with the guides of Appendix I be shown by calculational procedures based on models and data, such that the actual exposure of a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC through appropriate pathways is unlikely to be substantially underestimated. The 00CM calculational methodology and parameters for calculating the doses due to the actual release rates of the subject materials are consistent with the methodology provided in Regulatory 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 radionuclide pathways to man, in the areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY. The pathways that were examined in the development of these calculations were: (1) indlyidual inhalation of air-borne radionuclides, (2) deposition of radionuclides onto green leafy vegetation with subsequent consumption by man, (3) deposition onto grassy areas where milk animals and meat producing animals graze with consumption of the milk and meat by man, and (4) deposition on the ground with subsequent exposure to man.

This specification applies to the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents from each unit at the site.

3/4.11.2.4 GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the GASEOUS WASTE PROCESSING 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 por-tions of these systems be used df'when specified provides reasonable assurance N that the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable". This specification implements the re-( quirements 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 i
