The specific changes are provided below.

For the Condition of one or more penetration flow paths with one PCIV inoperable in a penetration flow path with two [or more] PCIVs, the Completion Times for isolating the affected penetration (in Standard Technical Specification (STS) 3.6.1.3 Required Action A.

3.0 Background

The Boiling Water Reactor Owners' Group (BWROG) Topical Report NEDC-33046-A provides a risk-informed technical basis for specific changes to Technical Specification Completion Times of STS 3.6.1.3, "Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs)," in NUREG 1433 and NUREG 1434. The primary intent of the proposed change is to provide for the potential of on-line maintenance, repair, and testing of a PCIV that is declared inoperable during operation in the applicable MODES. These changes are warranted based on the low risk associated with the extended Completion Times and the relatively greater risk associated with transitioning from the existing MODE to cold shutdown (MODE 4).

This application is being pursued by the BWROG as a risk-informed plant modification in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guides 1.174 and 1.177. Risk-informed cumulative unavailability targets for PCIVs are already established within the scope of the Maintenance Rule.

To expedite the review process, NEDC-33046-A provides, where appropriate, generic bounding risk assessments of the impact of adopting these Technical Specification changes. The risk calculations included in this evaluation consider all significant impacts of PCIV Technical Specification modifications, including:

  • Assessment of the Incremental Conditional Core Damage Probability (ICCDP) and Incremental Conditional Large Early Release Probability (ICLERP) resulting from allowing PCIVs to remain in the open position for the duration of the Completion Time.
  • For systems with PCIVs that are connected to the Reactor Coolant System, ICCDP/ICLERP assessments include consideration of Interfacing System Loss of Coolant Accident (ISLOCA).
  • Assessment of ICCDP associated with retaining valves, which have a safety function (in addition to primary containment isolation), in the closed position for an extended period of time.

Risk evaluations also include explicit consideration of incremental risks associated with PCIVs connected to systems containing non-seismically qualified piping. All risk assessments consider the effect of maintaining the PCIV in the open position.

In accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.177, risks associated with a single Completion Time are evaluated against the "very small risk" metrics of 5.0E-7 for ICCDP and 5.OE-8 for ICLERP. The cumulative impact of multiple, simultaneous and sequential, entries into the Conditions are also considered.

The supporting and analytical material contained within NEDC-33046-A is considered applicable to all General Electric Boiling Water Reactor units of the BWROG member utilities regardless of the details of the valve actuators.

4.0 Technical Analvsis NEDC-33046-A documented the process used for evaluating plant risk associated with the proposed changes to the PCIV Technical Specification Completion Times. The process involves grouping the various primary containment penetrations into defined classes. For each class, the primary containment penetrations are further subdivided into generic type configurations. An evaluation is then performed for each of the generic configurations of the primary containment penetrations to assess the impact on plant risk due to the proposed Completion Time extensions for the associated PCIVs. The evaluation of the impact on plant risk determines the change in core damage frequency (ACDF), the ICCDP, the change in large early release frequency (ALERF),

and the ICLERP.

Page 2 of 5

TSTF454, Rev. I The results of the evaluations in NEDC-33046-A demonstrate that thb proposed Completion Time extensions provide plant operational flexibility while simultaneously allowing plant operation with an acceptable level of risk. The results demonstrate that the risk level associated with the proposed Completion Time is below the guidelines set forth in Regulatory Guides 1.174 and 1.177.

Adoption of this Traveler is contingent on the adoption of NEDC-33046-A, including the conditions described in the incorporated NRC Safety Evaluation.

5.0 Rculatorv Analysis 5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration The TSTF has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed generic changes by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:

1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes revise the Completion Times for restoring an inoperable primary containment isolation valve (PCIV) (or isolating the affected penetration) within the scope of Topical Report NEDC-33046-A, "Technical Justification to Support Risk-Informed Primary Containment Isolation Valve AOT Extensions for BWR Plants," transmitted to the NRC by letter dated January 20, 2005, from 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 7 days.

PCIVs are not accident initiators in any accident previously evaluated. Consequently, the probability of an accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased. PCIVs, individually and in combination, control the extent of leakage from the primary containment following an accident. As such, PCIVs are instrumental in controlling the consequences of an accident. However, the consequences of any accident previously evaluation arc no different during the proposed extended Completion Times than during the existing Completion Times. As a result, the consequences of any accident previously evaluated are not significantly increased. Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No.

The proposed changes revise the Completion Times for restoring an inoperable PCIV (or isolating the affected penetration) within the scope of Topical Report NEDC-33046-A, transmitted to the NRC by letter dated January 20, 2005, from 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 7 days. PCIVs, individually and in combination, control the extent of leakage from the primary containment following an accident. The proposed Completion Time extensions apply to the reduction in redundancy in the primary containment isolation function provided by the PCIVs for a limited period of time, but do not alter the ability of the plant to meet the overall primary containment leakage requirements. The proposed changes do not change the design, configuration, or method of operation of the plant. The proposed changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (no new or different kind of equipment will be installed). Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

TSTF454, Rev. I

3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No.

The proposed changes revise the Completion Times for restoring an inoperable PCIV (or isolating the affected penetration) within the scope of Topical Report NEDC-33046-A, transmitted to the NRC by letter dated January 20, 2005, from 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 7 days. PCIVs, individually and in combination, control the extent of leakage from the primary containment following an accident. The proposed Completion Time extensions apply to the reduction in redundancy in the primary containment isolation function provided by the PCIVs for a limited period of time, but do not alter the ability of the plant to meet the overall primary containment leakage requirements. In order to evaluate the proposed Completion Time extensions, a probabilistic risk evaluation was performed as documented in Topical Report NEDC-33046-A. The risk evaluation concluded that, based on the use of bounding risk parameters for General Electric designed plants, the proposed increase in the PCIV Completion Times from 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> and 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 7 days for the analyzed PCIVs does not result in an unacceptable incremental conditional core damage probability or incremental conditional large early release probability according to the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.177. Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, the TSTF concludes that the proposed changes present 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.

5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50 - General Design Criterion (GDC) 55, "Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Penetrating Containment," requires that each line that is part of the reactor coolant pressure boundary and that penetrates primary containment shall be provided with containment isolation valves.

Appendix A of 10 CFR 50 - GDC 56, "Primary Containment Isolation," requires that each line that connects directly to the containment atmosphere and penetrates primary reactor containment shall be provided with containment isolation valves.

The Maintenance Rule, 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), as it relates to the proposed changes, requires the assessment and management of the increase in risk that may result from a proposed maintenance activity.

The design of the applicable plants is not changed and single failure protection is still a design requirement.

However, the proposed changes extend the limited time during which single failure protection for isolation of a primary containment penetration is relaxed.

The proposed change does not affect plant compliance with these regulations.

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 Commission's regulations, and (3) the approval of the proposed change will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

6.0 Environmental Consideration A review has determined that the proposed changes would change requirements 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 Page 4 of 5

TSTF-454, Rev. I or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed changes do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or 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 changes meet 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 changes.

[except for secondary containment bypass leakage rate, MSIV leakage rate, purge valve leakage rate, or hydrostatically tested line leakage rate or EFCV leakage rate not within limit], the affected penetration flow paths must be isolated. The method of isolation must include the use of at least one isolation barrier that cannot be adversely affected by a single active failure. Isolation barriers that meet this criterion are a closed and de-activated automatic valve, a closed manual valve, a blind flange, and a check valve with flow through the valve secured. For a penetration isolated in accordance with Required Action A.1, the device used to isolate the penetration should be the closest available valve to the primary containment.

For affected penetrations that have been isolated in accordance with Required Action A.1, the affected penetration flow path(s) must be verified to be isolated on a periodic basis. This is necessary to ensure that primary containment penetrations required to be Isolated following an accident, and no longer capable of being automatically isolated, will be in the isolation position should an event occur. This Required Action does not require any testing or device manipulation. Rather, it involves verification that those devices outside containment and capable of potentially being mispositioned are in the correct position. 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.

-_--_--_------REVIEWER'S NOTE-------------

The bracketed options provided inACTION D reflect options in plant design and options in adopting the associated leakage rate Surveillances.

The options (both in ACTION D and ACTION E) for purge valve leakage, are based primarily on the design. If leakage rates can be measured separately for each purge valve, ACTION E is intended to apply. This would be required to be able to implement Required Action E.3. Should the design allow only for leak testing both purge valves simultaneously, then the Completion Time for ACTION D should include the "24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for purge valve leakage" and ACTION E should be eliminated.

The option for EFCV is based on the acceptance criteria of SR 3.6.1.3.10.

If the acceptance criteria is a specific leakage rate (e.g., 1 gph) then the n Time for ACTION D should Include the "72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> for EFCV leakagi," f the acceptance criteria for SR 3.6.1.3.10 is non-specific (e.g.,

"actuates to the closed position") then there is no specific leakage criteria and the EFCV Completion Time is not adopted.

Similarly, adopting Completion Times for secondary containment bypass and/or hydrostatically tested lines is based on whether the associated SRs are adopted.

The additional bracketed options for whether the hydrostatically tested line is with or without a closed system is predicated on plant-specific design. If the design is such that there are not both types of hydrostatically tested lines (some with and some without closed systems),

the specific 'closed system' wording can be removed and the appropriate 4 or 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time retained. In the event there are both types, clarifying wording remains and the brackets are removed. ]

TSTF-454, Rev. 1 PCIVs B 3.6.1.3 BASES SURVEILLANCE (SR 3.6.1.3.1 REQUIREMENTS Each [18] inch primary containment purge valve Is required to be verified sealed closed at 31 day Intervals. This SR is designed to ensure that a gross breach of primary containment is not caused by an inadvertent or spurious opening of a primary containment purge valve. Detailed analysis of the purge valves failed to conclusively demonstrate their ability to close during a LOCA in time to limit offsite doses. Primary containment purge valves that are sealed closed must have motive power to the valve operator removed. This can be accomplished by de-energizing the source of electric power or removing the air supply to the valve operator.

In this application, the term "sealed" has no connotation of leak tightness.

The 31 day Frequency is a result of an NRC initiative, Generic Issue B-24 (Ret: related to primary containment purge valve use during unit operations.

This SR allows a valve that is open under administrative controls to not meet the SR during the time the valve is open. Opening a purge valve under administrative controls is restricted to one valve in a penetration flow path at a given time (refer to discussion for Note 1 of the ACTIONS) in order to effect repairs to that valve. This allows one purge valve to be opened without resulting in a failure of the Surveillance and resultant entry into the ACTIONS for this purge valve, provided the stated restrictions are met. Condition E must be entered during this allowance, and the valve opened only as necessary for effecting repairs. Each purge valve in the penetration flow path may be alternately opened, provided one remains sealed closed, if necessary, to complete repairs on the penetration.

[The SR is modified by a Note stating that primary containment purge valves are only required to be sealed closed in 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 or the release of radioactive material will exceed limits prior to the closing of the purge valves. At other times when the purge valves are required to be capable of closing (e.g., during handling of [recently] irradiated fuel), pressurization concerns are not present and the purge valves are allowed to be open. ] ]

SR 3.6.1.3.5 The traversing incore probe (TIP) shear isolation valves are actuated by explosive charges. Surveillance of explosive charge continuity provides assurance that TIP valves will actuate when required. Other administrative controls, such as those that limit the shelf life of the explosive charges, must be followed. The 31 day Frequency is based on operating experience that has demonstrated the reliability of the explosive charge continuity.

SR 3.6.1.3.6 Verifying the isolation time of each power operated, automatic PCIV is within limits is required to demonstrate OPERABILITY. MSIVs may be excluded from this SR since MSIV full closure isolation time is demonstrated by SR 3.6.1.3.7. The isolation time test ensures that the valve will isolate in a time period less than or equal to that assumed in the safety analyses. The isolation time and Frequency of this SR are [in accordance with the requirements of the Inservice Testing Program or 92 days].

[SR 3.6.1.3.7 For primary containment purge alves with resilient seals, additional leakage rate testing beyond the est requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option [A][B] (Ref. is required to ensure OPERABILITY.

Operating experience has demonstrated that this type of seal has the potential to degrade in a shorter time period than do other seal types.

Based on this observation and the importance of maintaining this penetration leak tight (due to the direct path between primary containment and the environment), a Frequency of 184 days was established.

Additionally, this SR must be performed once within 92 days after opening the valve. The 92 day Frequency was chosen recognizing that cycling the valve could Introduce additional seal degradation (beyond that which occurs to a valve that has not been opened). Thus, decreasing the interval (from 184 days) is a prudent measure after a valve has been opened.

go------------REVIEWER'S NOTE-------

The Surveillance is only allowed for those plants for which NEDO-32977-A, "Excess Flow Check Valve Testing Relaxation," June 2000, is applicable. In addition, the licensee must develop EFCV performance criteria and basis to ensure that their corrective action program can provide meaningful feedback for appropriate corrective actions. The EFCV performance criteria and basis must be found acceptable by the technical staff. If required, an Inservice Testing Program relief request pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a needs to be approved by the Technical Staff in order to implement this Surveillance. Otherwise, each EFCV shall be verified to actuate on an [18] month Frequency. The bracketed portions of these Bases apply to the representative sample as discussed in NEDO-32977-A.

This SR requires a demonstration that each [a representative sample of]

reactor instrumentation line excess flow check valves (EFCV) is OPERABLE by verifying that the valve [reduces flow to s 1 gph on a simulated instrument line break]. [The representative sample consists of an approximately equal number of EFCVs, such that each EFCV is tested at least once every 10 years (nominal). In addition, the EFCVs in the sample are representative of the various plant configurations, models, sizes and operating environments. This ensures that any potentially common problem with a specific type or application of EFCV is detected at the earliest possible time.]

This SR provides assurance that the instrumentation line EFCVs will perform so that predicted radiological consequences will not be exceeded during theostulated Instrument line break event evaluated in Reerence The [18] month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass this Surveillance when performed at the [18] month Frequency. Therefore, the Frequency was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint. [The nominal 10 year interval is based on performance testing as discussed in NEDO-32977-A, "Excess Flow Check Valve Testing Relaxation." Furthermore, any EFCV failures will be evaluated to determine if additional testing in that test interval is warranted to ensure overall reliability is maintained. Operating experience has demonstrated that these components are highly reliable and that failures to isolate are very infrequent. Therefore, testing of a representative sample was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint.]

SR 3.6.1.3.11 The TIP shear isolation valves are actuated by explosive charges. An in place functional test is not possible with this design. The explosive squib is removed and tested to provide assurance that the valves will actuate when required. The replacement charge for the explosive squib shall be from the same manufactured batch as the one fired or from another batch that has been certified by having one of the batch successfully fired. The Frequency of 18 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS is considered adequate given the administrative controls on replacement charges and the frequent checks of circuit continuity (SR 3.6.1.3.5).

SR 3.6.1.3.12 This SR ensures that the leakage rate of secondary containment bypass leakage paths is less than the specified leakage rate. This provides assurance that the assumptions in the radiological evaluations of

( ReferenceWare met. The leakage rate of each bypass leakage path is assumed to be the maximum pathway leakage (leakage through the worse of the two isolation valves) unless the penetration is isolated by use of one closed and de-activated automatic valve, closed manual valve, or blind flange. In this case, the leakage rate of the isolated bypass leakage path is assumed to be the actual pathway leakage through the isolation device. If both isolation valves in the penetration are closed, the actual leakage rate is the lesser leakage rate of the two valves. The Frequency is required by the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. This SR simply imposes additional acceptance criteria. [This SR is modified by a Note that states that these valves are only required to meet this leakage limit in MODES 1, 2, and 3. In the other conditions, the Reactor Coolant System is not pressurized and specific primary containment leakage limits are not required.]

At other times when purge valves are required to be capable of closing (e.g., during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies), pressurization concerns are not present, thus the purge valves can be fully open. The [18] month Frequency is appropriate because the blocking devices are typically removed only during a refueling outage.]

.( For affected penetrations that have been isolated in accordance with Required Action A.1, the affected penetration flow path must be verified to be isolated on a periodic basis. This is necessary to ensure that primary containment penetrations required to be isolated following an accident, and no longer capable of being automatically isolated, will be In the isolation position should an event occur. This Required Action does not require any testing or device manipulation. Rather, it involves verification that those devices outside the primary containment, drywell, and steam tunnel and capable of being mispositioned are in the correct position.

The Completion Time for this verification of "once per 31 days for isolation devices outside primary containment, drywell, and steam tunnel," is appropriate because the devices are operated under administrative controls and the probability of their misalignment is low. For devices inside the primary containment, drywell, or steam tunnel, the specified time period of "prior to entering MODE 2 or 3 from 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 the existence of other administrative controls ensuring that device misalignment is an unlikely possibility.

Condition A is modified by a Note indicating that this Condition is only applicable to those penetration flow paths with two [or more] PCIVs. For penetration flow paths with one PCIV, Condition C provides appropriate Required Actions.

Required Action A.2 is modified by two Notes. Note 1 applies to isolation devices located in high radiation areas and allows them to be verified by use of administrative means.

The Completion Time of once per 31 days for verifying that each affected penetration is isolated is appropriate because the valves are operated under administrative controls and the probability of their misalignment is low.

Condition C is modified by a Note indicating this Condition is applicable only to those penetration flow paths with only one PCIV. For penetration flow paths with two PCIVs, Conditions A and B provide the appropriate Required Actions. This Note is necessary since this Condition is written specifically to address those penetrations with a single PCIV.

Required Action C.2 is modified by two 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. 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 Isconsidered acceptable, since the function of locking, sealing, or securing components is to ensure that these devices are not inadvertently repositioned. Therefore, the probability of misalignment of these valves, once they have been verified to be in the proper position, is low.

TSTF-454, Rev. 1 PCIVs B 3.6.1.3 BASES SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (continued)

Two Notes are added to this SR. The first Note allows valves and blind flanges located in high radiation areas to be verified by use of administrative controls. Allowing verification by administrative controls is considered acceptable since access to these areas is typically restricted during MODES 1, 2, and 3. Therefore, the probability of misalignment of these PCIVs, once they have been verified to be in their proper position, is low. A second Note is Included to clarify that PCIVs that are open under administrative controls are not required to meet the SR during the time that the PCIVs are open.

SR 3.6.1.3.5 Verifying the isolation time of each power operated, automatic PCIV is within limits is required to demonstrate OPERABILITY. MSIVs may be excluded from this SR since MSIV full closure isolation time is demonstrated by SR 3.6.1.3.6. The isolation time test ensures that the valve will isolate in a time period less than or equal to that assumed in the safety analysis. The isolation time and Frequency of this SR are [in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program or 92 days].

[SR 3.6.1.3.6 0 For primary containment purge Ialves with resilient seals, additional leakage rate testing beyond th Jest requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option [A][B] (Ref. , is required to ensure OPERABILITY.

Operating experience has demonstrated that this type of seal has the potential to degrade in a shorter time period than do other seal types.

Based on this observation, and the importance of maintaining this penetration leak tight (due to the direct path between primary containment and the environment), a Frequency of 184 days was established.

Additionally, this SR must be performed within 92 days after opening the valve. The 92 day Frequency was chosen recognizing that cycling the valve could introduce additional seal degradation (beyond that which occurs to a valve that has not been opened). Thus, decreasing the Interval (from 184 days) is a prudent measure after a valve has been opened.
