==SUMMARY==
DESCRIPTION This evaluation supports a request to amend Operating License Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-80 and DPR-82 for Units 1 and 2 of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), respectively, to update references to the source of requirements for inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves and to address the applicability of Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.0.2 to some non-standard pump and valve testing frequencies.
The proposed changes are consistent with NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Travelers TSTF-479, Revision 0, "Changes to Reflect Revision of 10 CFR 50.55a," (Reference 1) and TSTF 497, Revision 0, "Limit Inservice Testing Program Application to Frequencies of 2 Years or Less," (Reference 2).
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION The proposed changes would revise the requirements in Technical Specification (TS) 5.5.8, "Inservice Testing Program," to update references to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI as the source of requirements for the inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves. The proposed changes delete reference to Section XI of the Code and incorporate reference to the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (ASME OM Code)
(Reference 3) and address the applicability of Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.0.2 to some non-standard frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the Inservice Testing (IST) Program.
2.1     Proposed Changes TS 5.5.8, "Inservice Testing Program," is revised to indicate that the IST shall have testing Frequencies applicable to the ASME OM Code.
TS 5.5.8.b. is revised to indicate that there may be some nonstandard frequencies utilized in the IST Program to which the provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable. Specifically, TS 5.5.8.b. is revised to state:
            "The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the above required Frequencies and to other normal and accelerated Frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the Inservice Testing Program."
1

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-06-143 Various sections of the TS Bases are also revised for consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4). The changes to the affected TS Bases pages will be incorporated in accordance with TS 5.5.14, "Technical Specifications (TS) Bases Control Program."
2.2     Background In 1990, the ASME published the initial edition of the ASME OM Code that provides rules for inservice testing of pumps and valves.
The ASME OM Code replaced Section XI of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for inservice testing of pumps and valves.
The 1995 edition of the ASME OM Code was incorporated by reference into 10 CFR 50.55a(b). Since 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4)(ii) requires that inservice testing during successive 10-year intervals comply with the requirements of the latest edition and addenda of the Code incorporated into 10 CFR 50.55a(b), TS 5.5.8 must be revised to reference the ASME OM Code.

==3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION==

The purpose of the IST Program is to assess the operational readiness of pumps and valves, to detect degradation that might affect component OPERABILITY, and to maintain safety margins with provisions for increased surveillance and corrective action. 10 CFR 50.55a defines the requirements for applying industry codes to each licensed nuclear powered facility. Section XI of the ASME Code has been revised on a continuing basis over the years to provide updated requirements for the inservice inspection and inservice testing of components. Until 1990, the ASME Code requirements addressing the inservice testing of pumps and valves were contained in Section XI, Subsections IWP (pumps) and IWV (valves). In 1990, the ASME published the initial edition of the OM Code that provides the rules for inservice testing of pumps and valves. Since the establishment of the 1990 Edition of the OM Code, the rules for inservice testing are no longer being updated in Section XI. As identified in NRC SECY-99-017 (Reference 4), the NRC has generally considered evolution of the ASME Code to result in a net improvement in the measures for inspecting piping and components and testing pumps and valves.
By final rule issued on September 22, 1999 (Reference 5), the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4)(ii) to require licensees to update their IST Program to the latest approved edition of the ASME OM Code incorporated by reference 5 into 10 CFR 50.55a(b). TS 5.5.8 currently references the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section Xl, as the 2

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-06-143 source of the IST Program requirements for ASME Code 1, 2, and 3 components. The Code of record for the ongoing Third 10-Year IST Program interval is the 2001 Edition including the OMa-2002 and OMb-2003 Addenda of the ASME OM Code. The proposed changes to TS 5.5.8 are necessary for consistency with the IST requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a.
Additionally, TS 5.5.8 is revised to indicate that the provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to other IST frequencies that are not specifically listed in the testing frequencies identified in TS 5.5.8. The IST Program may have frequencies for testing that are based on risk or other factors and do not conform to the standard testing Frequencies specified in TS 5.5.8. The Frequency of the Surveillance may be determined through a mix of risk informed and performance based means in accordance with the IST Program. Application of SR 3.0.2 to other IST Frequencies specified as 2 years or less is consistent with the guidance in NUREG-1482, paragraph 3.1.3 (Reference 6). This response would indicate that the 25 percent tolerance specified in SR 3.0.2 is applicable to any IST Frequency specified as 2 years or less.

==4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION==

The proposed changes revise the requirements in TS 5.5.8, "Inservice Testing Program," to update references to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI as the source of requirements for the inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves. The proposed changes delete reference to Section XI of the Code, incorporate reference to the ASME OM Code, and address the applicability of Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.0.2 to other normal and accelerated frequencies specified as 2 years or less in the IST Program.
4.1     Sigqnificant Hazards Consideration PG&E has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:
: 1.      Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
3

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-06-143 The proposed changes revise TS 5.5.8, "Inservice Testing Program," for consistency with of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) requirements regarding inservice testing of pumps and valves. The proposed change incorporates revisions to the ASME Code that result in a net improvement in the measures for testing pumps and valves.
The proposed changes do not impact any accident initiators or analyzed events or assumed mitigation of accident or transient events. They do not involve the addition or removal of any equipment, or any design changes to the facility. Therefore, the proposed changes do not represent 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 do not involve a modification to the physical configuration of the plant (i.e., no new equipment will be installed) or change in the methods governing normal plant operation. The proposed change will not impose any new or different requirements or introduce a new accident initiator, accident precursor, or malfunction mechanism.
Additionally, there is no change in the types or increases in the amounts of any effluent that may be released off-site and there is no increase in individual or cumulative occupational exposure. Therefore, this proposed change does not create the possibility of an accident of a different kind than previously evaluated.
: 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No The proposed changes revise TS 5.5.8, "Inservice Testing Program," for consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(f)(4) regarding the inservice testing of pumps and valves. The proposed change incorporates revisions to the ASME Code that result in a net improvement in the 4

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-06-143 measures for testing pumps and valves. The safety function of the affected pumps and valves will be maintained.
Therefore, this proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based on the above, PG&E concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a 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.
4.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria NRC regulation, 10 CFR 50.55a, defines the requirements for applying industry codes to each licensed nuclear powered facility.
The regulations require that during successive 120-month intervals, programs be developed utilizing the latest edition and addenda incorporated into paragraph (b) of 10 CFR 50.55a 12 months before the start of the 120-month interval of the operating license subject to the limitations and modifications identified in paragraph (b).
There are no changes being proposed such that compliance with any of the regulatory requirements above would come into question. The evaluations documented above confirm that PG&E will continue to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements.
4.3 Precedent The NRC accepted TSTF-479 in December 2005 (Reference 7) and TSTF-497 in October 2006 (Reference 8).
A similar change was approved for the Cooper Nuclear Station in Amendment No. 223 on September 6, 2006. However, even though TSTF-497 was not approved at this time, this amendment addressed the application of SR 3.0.2 to other IST Frequencies with the same wording that is now included in the approved TSTF-497.
4.4 Conclusions 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 5

Enclosure 1 PG&E Letter DCL-06-143 Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

==5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION==

PG&E has evaluated the proposed amendment for environmental considerations. The review has determined that the proposed amendment would change requirements with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, and would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

: a. Isolating and venting the normal air supply, and
: b. Verifying that any leakage of the Class I backup nitrogen system is within its limits, and
: c. Operating the Class I PORVs through one complete cycle of full travel.
Operating the solenoid nitrogen control valves and check valves on the nitrogen supply system and operating the Class I PORVs through one complete cycle of full travel ensures the nitrogen backup supply for the Class I PORV operates properly when called upon. The Frequency of 24 months is based on a typical refueling cycle and the Frequency of the other Surveillances used to demonstrate Class I PORV OPERABILITY.
SR 3.4.11.4 Performance of a COT is required on each required Class I PORV to verify and, as necessary, adjust its lift setpoint. PORV actuation could depressurize the RCS and is not required.
SR 3.4.11.5 Performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION on each required Class I PORV actuation channel is required every 24 months to adjust the whole channel so that it responds and the valve opens within the required range and accuracy to known input.

ECCS - Operating B 3.5.2 BASES SURVEILLANCE       SR 3.5.2.8 (continued)
REQUIREMENTS       Opening one containment recirculation sump level transmitter (LT) access hatch in MODES 1 through 3, or in MODE 4 prior to core offload, also requires entry into TS 3.0.3. The containment recirculation sump can be considered OPERABLE with one containment sump LT access hatch open only during the initial entry into MODE 4 following core reload. This is acceptable since core decay heat is low following core reload and automatic actuation of containment spray would not occur in the event of an RCS pipe break.
Without containment spray actuation, less RWST inventory is discharged into containment and the containment water level remains below the level of the access hatch. Additionally, with one LT~access hatch open in MODE 4, high risk foreign material exclusion procedures must be followed. (Ref 10)

The allowed Completion Time is reasonable base on operating experience to complete the Required Actions in an orderly manner without challenging unit systems.
B.1 and B.2 If THERMAL POWER and Power Range Neutron Flux Trip are not reduced as required by Table 3.7.1-1 within the associated Completion Time, or if one or more steam generators have less than two MSSVs OPERABLE, the unit must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be placed in at least MODE 3 within 6 hours, and in MODE 4 within 12 hours. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.
SURVEILLANCE       SR 3.7.1.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies the OPERABILITY of the MSSVs by the verification of each MSSV lift setpoint in accordance 'th the Inservice Testing            -0 Program. The ASME Code,               o     (Ref. 5), requires t    afety and relief valve tests be performed in accordance with A-        ASME Cc...
                    &               -ef. 5--According to Reference 6, the following tests are required:
: a.        Visual examination;
: b.        Seat tightness determination;
: c.        Setpoint pressure determination (lift setting);
: d.        Compliance with owner's seat tightness criteria; and
: e.        Verification of the balancing device integrity on balanced valves.
The AN15ASME StafldaTr-requires that all valves be tested every 5 years, and a minimum of 20% of the valves be tested every 24 months.
The ASME Code specifies the activities and frequencies necessary to satisfy the requirements. Table 3.7.1-2 allows a +/- 3% setpoint (as-found lift point) tolerance on the valves for OPERABILITY (with the exception of the lowest set MSSV setpoint, which is (+3%/-2%);
however, the valves are reset to +/- 1% during the Surveillance to allow for drift. The lift settings, according to Table 3.7.1-2 in the accompanying LCO, correspond to ambient conditions of the valve at nominal operating temperature and pressure.

MSIVs B 3.7.2 BASES SURVEILLANCE       SR 3.7.2.1 (continued)
REQUIREMENTS analyses. This Surveillance is normally performed upon returning the unit to operation following a refueling outage. The MSIVs should not be tested at power, since even a part stroke exercise increases the risk of a valve closure when the unit is generating power.
As the MSIVs ar ..not tested at power, they are exempt from the ASME Code         e     (Ref. 5), requirements during operation in MODE 1 or 2.
The Frequency is in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program.
This test may be conducted in MODE 3 with the unit at operating temperature and pressure. This SR is modified by a Note that allows entry into and operation in MODE 3 prior to performing the SR.
However, the test is normally conducted in MODE 5 as permitted by the cold shutdown frequency justification provided in the Inservice Testing Program (IST) and as permitted by Reference 6, PaT,             *,e SR 3.7.2.2 This SR verifies that each MSIV can close on an actual or simulated actuation signal. This Surveillance is normally performed upon returning the plant to operation following a refueling outage. The frequency of MSIV testing is every 24 months. The 24 month Frequency is based on the refueling cycle. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 24 month Frequency. Therefore, this Frequency is acceptable from a reliability standpoint.

MFIVs, MFRVs, MFRV Bypass Valves, MFWP Turbine Stop Valves B 3.7.3 BASES (continued)
SURVEILLANCE      SR 3.7.3.1 and SR 3.7.3.2 REQUIREMENTS      These SRs verify that the closure time of each MFIV is < 60 seconds and that each MFRV, and MFRV bypass valves is < 7 seconds, not including the instrument delays. The MFIV and MFRV and MFRV bypass valve closure times are assumed in the accident and containment analyses. These Surveillances are normally performed upon returning the unit to operation following a refueling outage.
These valves should not be tested at power since even a part stroke exercise increases the risk of a valve closure with the unit generating power. This is consistent with the ASME Code (Ref. 2) stroke requirements during operation in MODES 1 and 2.
The Frequency for these SRs is in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program.
SR 3.7.3.3 This SR verifies that each MFIV, MFRV, MFRV bypass valve, and MFWP turbine stop valve can close on an actual or simulated actuation signal. This Surveillance is normally performed upon returning the plant to operation following a refueling outage. The Frequency of MFIV, MFRV, MFRV bypass valve, and MFWP turbine stop valve testing is every 24 months. The 24 month Frequency is based on the refueling cycle. Operating experience has shown that these components are reliable and can be expected to pass the Surveillance when performed at the 24 month Frequency. Therefore, this Frequency is acceptable from a reliability standpoint.
SR 3.7.3.4 This SR verifies that the closure time of each MFWP turbine stop valve is < 1 second, not including the instrument delays. The MFWP turbine stop valve closure times are assumed in the accident and containment analyses. These surveillances are normally performed on returning the unit to operation following a refueling outage. The Frequency is the same as that for the MFRVs and the MFRV bypass valves.
Preventive/predictive maintenance related to the MFWP turbine stop valves, and actions initiated in response to control oil cleanliness problems, shall be performed to ensure reliability of MFWP trip function.

AFW System B 3.7.5 BASES SURVEILLANCE      SR 3.7.5.6 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies that the FWST is capable of being aligned to the AFW (continued) pump suctions. This assures that this additional supply of required AFW is available from the seismically qualified FWST should it be needed for a natural circulation cooldown.
Since there is insufficient volume in the CST alone for long-term cooling needs, the NRC required in SSER 8 that the FWST have a seismically-qualified flow path to the AFW Pumps suction to withstand an assumed seismic failure of any single valve (valve jammed shut).
This means that valves MU-0-1 557 and MU-1-297 and MU-2-298 should be maintained in their normal positions. If these valves are required to be out of position due to maintenance activities, then these activities should be treated as if entering the LCO action for TS 3.7.6.
The 24 month frequency, based on engineering judgement, is consistent with Referencesand9.
A similar SR is not required for the CST alignment since the AFW system is used for startup and an AFW pump is tested each month.
This operation and the pump tests assure proper valve alignment.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES SURVEILLANCE      SR 3.8.1.20 REQUIREMENTS This Surveillance demonstrates that the DG starting independence has (continued) not been compromised. Also, this Surveillance demonstrates that each engine can achieve proper speed within the specified time when the DGs are started simultaneously.
The 10 year Frequency is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Ref. 9).
This SR is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is to minimize wear on the DG during testing. For the purpose of this testing, the DGs must be started from standby conditions, that is, with the engine coolant and oil temperature maintained consistent with manufacturer recommendations of equal to or greater than 90&deg;F but less than 1750 F.
