Description and Assessment

LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                               Attachment 1 Docket No. 50-220                                                                      Page 1 of 5 DESCRIPTION AND ASSESSMENT

==1.0    DESCRIPTION==

The proposed amendment would modify the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit 1 (NMP-1)
Technical Specifications (TS) by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program with the adoption of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control - Risk Informed Technical Specification Task Force (RITSTF) Initiative 5b" (Ref. 1). Additionally, the change would add a new program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program, to TS Section 6, Administrative Controls.
The changes are consistent with NRC-approved Industry/lTSTF Standard Technical Specifications (STS) change TSTF-425, Revision 3, (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642). The Federal Register notice published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996) (Ref. 2), announced the availability of this TS improvement.
2.0    ASSESSMENT 2.1    Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) has reviewed the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation for TSTF-425, Revision 3, dated July 6, 2009. This review included a review of the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation, TSTF-425, Revision 3, and the requirements specified in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," (ADAMS Accession No. ML071360456)
(Ref. 3).
The traveler and Model Safety Evaluation discuss the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance, including the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria (GDC). NMP-1 was not licensed to the 10 CFR 50, Appendix A GDC. The NMP-1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) provides an assessment against the GDC in Table I-1. This UFSAR table is a summary and refers to the NMP-1 Technical Supplement to Petition for Conversion from Provisional Operating License to Full-Term Operating License, July 1972. The Technical Supplement provides an analysis of plant design criteria for NMP-1 to the GDC criteria. Based on the analysis performed in the Technical Supplement, Exelon believes that the plant-specific requirements for NMP-1 are sufficiently similar to the Appendix A GDC and represent an adequate technical basis for adopting the proposed change. includes Exelon's documentation with regard to Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) technical adequacy consistent with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.200, Revision 1, "An Approach for Determining the Technical Adequacy of Probabilistic Risk Assessment Results for Risk-Informed Activities," (ADAMS Accession No. ML070240001) (Ref. 4), Section 4.2, and describes any PRA models without NRC-endorsed standards, including documentation of the quality characteristics of those models in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.200.
Exelon has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to NMP-1 and justify this amendment to incorporate the changes to the NMP-1 TS.

LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                                     Attachment 1 Docket No. 50-220                                                                            Page 2 of 5 2.2  Optional Changes and Variations The proposed amendment is consistent with the STS changes described in TSTF-425, Revision 3; however, Exelon proposes variations or deviations from TSTF-425, as identified below, which includes differing Surveillance numbers.
Revised (clean) TS pages are not included in this amendment request given the number of TS pages affected, the straightforward nature of the proposed changes, and outstanding NMP-1 amendment requests that will impact some of the same TS pages.
Providing only mark-ups of the proposed TS changes satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," (Ref. 5) in that the mark-ups fully describe the changes desired. This is an administrative deviation from the NRC staff's model application dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996) with no impact on the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation published in the same Federal Register Notice. As a result of this deviation, the contents and numbering of the attachments for this amendment request differ from the attachments specified in the NRC staff's model application. Also, since the Bases for the NMP-1 Surveillance Requirements are intermingled throughout the TS Surveillance Requirement sections, mark-ups of both the proposed TS changes and the proposed TS Bases changes are provided together in Attachment 3.
Attachment 4 provides a cross-reference between the NUREG-1433 Surveillances included in TSTF-425 versus the NMP-1 TS Surveillances included in this amendment request. Attachment 4 includes a summary description of the referenced TSTF-425 (NUREG-1433)/NMP-1 TS Surveillances, which is provided for information purposes only and is not intended to be a verbatim description of the TS Surveillances. This cross-reference highlights the following:
: a. NUREG-1433 TS Surveillances included in TSTF-425 and corresponding NMP-1 Surveillances have differing Surveillances numbers,
: b. NUREG-1433 TS Surveillances included in TSTF-425 that are not contained in the NMP-1 TS, and
: c. NMP-1 plant-specific TS Surveillances that are not contained in NUREG-1433 and, therefore, are not included in the TSTF-425 mark-ups.
Concerning the above, NMP-1 TS are custom TS for a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) plant. As a result, the applicable NMP-1 TS and associated Bases wording, format and numbering differ from the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) presented in NUREG-1433 and TSTF-425, Revision 3. However, the applicable NMP-1 TS Surveillances and associated Bases are equivalent to the NUREG-1433 and TSTF-425, Revision 3, in that they assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met. Therefore, this deviation is an administrative deviation from TSTF-425 with no impact on the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation, dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).
In addition, there are Surveillances contained in NUREG-1433 that are not contained in the NMP-1 TS. Therefore, the NUREG-1433 mark-ups included in TSTF-425 for these TS Surveillances are not applicable to NMP-1. This is an administrative deviation from TSTF-

Furthermore, the NMP-1TS include plant-specific TS Surveillances that are not contained in NUREG-1433 and, therefore, are not included in the NUREG-1433 mark-ups provided in TSTF-425. Exelon has determined that the relocation of the frequencies for these NMP-1 plant-specific TS Surveillances is consistent with TSTF-425, Revision 3, and with the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation, dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996), including the scope exclusions identified in Section 1.0, "Introduction," of the Model Safety Evaluation.
Changes to the frequencies for these plant-specific TS Surveillances would be controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP). The SFCP provides the necessary administrative controls to require that TS Surveillances related to testing, calibration, and inspection are conducted at a frequency to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the Limiting Conditions for Operation will be met. Changes to frequencies in the SFCP would be evaluated using the methodology and probabilistic risk guidelines contained in NEI 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," (ADAMS Accession No. ML071360456), as approved by NRC letter dated September 19, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML072570267). The NEI 04-10, Revision 1 methodology includes qualitative considerations, risk analyses, sensitivity studies and bounding analyses, as necessary, and recommended monitoring of the performance of systems, components, and structures (SSCs) for which frequencies are changed to assure that reduced testing does not adversely impact the SSCs. In addition, the NEI 04-10, Revision 1 methodology satisfies the five key safety principles specified in Regulatory Guide 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications,"
dated August 1998 (ADAMS Accession No. ML003740176) (Ref. 6), relative to changes in Surveillance Frequencies. Therefore, the proposed relocation of the NMP-1 plant-specific TS Surveillance Frequencies is consistent with TSTF-425 and with the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation, dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).

==3.0   REGULATORY ANALYSIS==

3.1   No Significant Hazards Consideration Exelon has reviewed the proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration (NSHC) determination published in the Federal Register dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996). Exelon has concluded that the proposed NSHC presented in the Federal Register Notice is applicable to NMP-1, and is provided as Attachment 4 to this amendment request, which satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91 (a), "Notice for public comment; State consultation" (Ref. 7).
3.2   Applicable Regulatory Requirements A description of the proposed changes and their relationship to applicable regulatory requirements is provided in TSTF-425, Revision 3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642) and the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation published in the Notice of Availability, dated July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996). Exelon has concluded that the relationship of the proposed changes to the applicable regulatory requirements presented in the Federal Register Notice is applicable to NMP-1.

Exelon is not proposing significant variations or deviations from the TS changes described in TSTF 425 or in the content of the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation published on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996). The NRC has previously approved amendments to the TS as part of the pilot process for TSTF-425, including Amendment No. 276 for Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Station, dated September 27, 2010. Similar to the NMP - 1 TS, the Oyster Creek license amendment involved custom TS.
3.4    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 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.

==4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION==

Exelon has reviewed the environmental consideration included in the NRC staff's Model Safety Evaluation published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996). Exelon has concluded that the staff's findings presented therein are applicable to NMP-1, and the determination is hereby incorporated by reference for this application.

The following steps of the risk-informed STI revision process are common to proposed changes to all STIs within the proposed licensee-controlled program.
* Each STI revision is reviewed to determine whether there are any commitments made to the NRC that may prohibit changing the interval. If there are no related commitments, or the commitments may be changed using a commitment change process based on NRC endorsed guidance, then evaluation of the STI revision would proceed. If a commitment exists and the commitment change process does not permit the change, then the STI revision would not be implemented.
"    A qualitative analysis is performed for each STI revision that involves several considerations as explained in NEI 04-10, Revision 1.
* Each STI revision is reviewed by an Expert Panel, referred to as the Integrated Decisionmaking Panel (IDP), which is normally the same panel as is used for Maintenance Rule implementation, but with the addition of specialists with experience in surveillance testing and system or component reliability. If the IDP approves the STI revision, the change is documented and implemented, and available for audit by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). If the IDP does not approve the STI revision, the surveillance frequency is left unchanged.
* Performance monitoring is conducted as recommended by the IDP. In some cases, no additional monitoring may be necessary beyond that already conducted under the Maintenance Rule. The performance monitoring helps to confirm that no failure mechanisms related to the revised STI become important enough to alter the information provided for the justification of the interval changes.
* The IDP is responsible for periodic review of performance monitoring results. If it is determined that the time interval between successive performances of a surveillance test is a factor in the unsatisfactory performances of the surveillance, the IDP returns the STI back to the previously acceptable STI.
"    In addition to the above steps, the Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) is used when possible to quantify the effect of a proposed individual STI revision compared to acceptance criteria in NEI 04-10. Also, the cumulative impact of all risk-informed STI revisions on all PRAs (i.e., internal events, external events and shutdown) is also compared to the risk acceptance criteria as delineated in NEI 04-10.
For those cases where the STI cannot be modeled in the plant PRA (or where a particular PRA model does not exist for a given hazard group), a qualitative or bounding analysis is performed to provide justification for the acceptability of the proposed STI change.

The guidance in RG-1.200 indicates that the following steps should be followed when performing PRA assessments (NOTE: Because of the broad scope of potential Initiative 5b applications and the fact that the risk assessment details will differ from application to application, each of the issues encompassed in Items 1 through 3 below will be covered with the preparation of each individual PRA assessment made in support of the individual STI requests. Item 3 satisfies one of the requirements of Section 4.2 of RG 1.200. The remaining requirements of Section 4.2 are addressed by Item 4 below.):
: 1.       Identify the parts of the PRA used to support the application
         -   SSCs, operational characteristics affected by the application and how these are implemented in the PRA model
         -   A definition of the acceptance criteria used for the application
: 2.       Identify the scope of risk contributors addressed by the PRA model
         -     If not full scope (i.e., internal and external), identify appropriate compensatory measures or provide bounding arguments to address the risk contributors not addressed by the model.
: 3.       Summarize the risk assessment methodology used to assess the risk of the application
         -     Include how the PRA model was modified to appropriately model the risk impact of the change request.
: 4.       Demonstrate the Technical Adequacy of the PRA
         -     Identify plant changes (design or operational practices) that have been incorporated at the site, but are not yet in the PRA model and justify why the change does not impact the PRA results used to support the application.
         -     Document peer review findings and observations that are applicable to the parts of the PRA required for the application, and for those that have not yet been addressed justify why the significant contributors would not be impacted.
         -      Document that the parts of the PRA used in the decision are consistent with applicable standards endorsed by the RG (currently, in RG-1.200 Revision 1 this is just the internal events PRA standard). Provide justification to show that where specific requirements in the standard are not adequately met, it will not unduly impact the results.
         -     Identify key assumptions and approximations relevant to the results used in the decision-making process.
The purpose of the remaining portion of this attachment is to address the requirements identified in Item 4 above.

The NMP-1 PRA modeling is highly detailed, including a wide variety of initiating events, modeled systems, operator actions, and common cause events. The PRA model quantification process used for the NMP-1 PRA is based on the event tree / fault tree methodology, which is a well-known methodology in the industry.
Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) employs a multi-faceted approach to establishing and maintaining the technical adequacy and plant fidelity of the PRA models for all operating Exelon nuclear generation sites. This approach includes both a proceduralized PRA maintenance and update process, and the use of self-assessments and independent peer reviews. Prior to joining the Exelon nuclear fleet in 2014, comparable practices were in place when NMP was owned and operated by Constellation Energy Nuclear Group (CENG). Because of the similarities between the CENG and Exelon practices, no additional discussion specifically regarding the legacy CENG approach will be provided. The following information describes the Exelon approach (and by extension the CENG approach) to PRA model maintenance, as it applies to the NMP-1 PRA.
PRA Maintenance and Update The Exelon risk management process ensures that the applicable PRA model is an accurate reflection of the as-built and as-operated plants. This process is defined in the Exelon Risk Management program, which consists of a governing procedure (ER-AA-600, "Risk Management")
and subordinate implementation Training and Reference Materials (T&RM's).
     "   Exelon procedure ER-AA-600-1015, "Full Power Internal Event (FPIE) PRA Model Update," delineates the responsibilities and guidelines for updating the full power internal events PRA models at all operating Exelon nuclear generation sites.
* ER-AA-600-1061 "Fire PRA Model Update and Control" delineates the responsibilities and guidelines for updating the station fire PRA.
The overall Exelon Risk Management program, including ER-AA-600-1015 and ER-AA-600-1061, define the process for: implementing regularly scheduled and interim PRA model updates; for tracking issues identified as potentially affecting the PRA models (e.g., due to changes in the plant, industry operating experience, etc.); and for controlling the model and associated computer files. To ensure that the current PRA model remains an accurate reflection of the as-built, as-operated plants, the following activities are routinely performed:
* Design changes and procedure changes are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model.
* New engineering calculations and revisions to existing calculations are reviewed for their impact on the PRA model.
* Maintenance unavailabilities are captured, and their impact on CDF is trended.
     "   Plant specific initiating event frequencies, failure rates, and maintenance unavailabilities are updated during each model update.

LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                                Attachment 2 Docket No. 50-220                                                                      Page 4 of 12 In addition to these activities, Exelon risk management procedures provide the guidance for particular risk management maintenance activities. This guidance includes:
* Documentation of the PRA model, PRA products, and bases documents.
* The approach for controlling electronic storage of Risk Management (RM) products including PRA update information, PRA models, and PRA applications.
* Guidelines for updating the full power, internal events PRA models for Exelon nuclear generation sites.
* Guidance for use of quantitative and qualitative risk models in support of the On-Line Work Control Process Program for risk evaluations for maintenance tasks (corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, minor maintenance, surveillance tests and modifications) on Systems, Structures, and Components (SSCs) within the scope of the Maintenance Rule (10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)).
An application specific update of the PRA model was completed in the 4th quarter of 2014 to support application of the NFPA-805 process. Exelon will be performing a regularly scheduled FPIE model update to the NMP-1 PRA in 2015, which is expected to be approved in the first half of 2016.
As indicated previously, RG 1.200 also requires that additional information be provided as part of the License Amendment Request (LAR) submittal to demonstrate the technical adequacy of the PRA model used for the risk assessment. Each of these items (plant changes not yet incorporated in to the PRA model, relevant peer review findings, consistency with applicable PRA Standards, and the identification of key assumptions) will be discussed in turn.
2.2.1 Plant Changes Not Yet Incorporated into the PRA Model Each Exelon station maintains an Updating Requirements Evaluation (URE) database to track all enhancements, corrections, and unincorporated plant changes. During the normal screening conducted as part of the plant change process, if a potential model update is identified a new URE database item is created. Depending on the potential impact of the identified change, the requirements for incorporation will vary.
As part of the PRA evaluation for each STI change request, a review of open items in the URE database for NMP-1 will be performed and an assessment of the impact on the results of the application will be made prior to presenting the results of the risk analysis to the IDP. If the STI represents a potential impact to the PRA, then performance of additional sensitivity studies or PRA model changes to confirm the impact on the risk analysis may be considered.

LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                                    Attachment 2 Docket No. 50-220                                                                         Page 5 of 12 2.2.2 Applicability of Peer Review Findings and Observations A PRA model update was completed in 2008, resulting in the NM1 14A updated model. The NMP1 PRA model was revised to meet RG 1.200, revision 1, guidance and comply with the ASME/ANS PRA Standard RA-Sc-2007 [Ref. 41. This revision included a significant change in methodology, converting from RISKMAN (Large Event Trees, Small Fault Trees) to CAFTA (Small Event Trees, Large Fault Trees).
This model/methodology change was peer reviewed under the auspices of the BWR Owners Group (BWROG) in the 1st quarter of 2008 [Ref. 91. This peer review was performed following the Industry PRA Peer Review process [Ref. 3, NEI 05-04 [Ref. 71, and NEI 00-002 [Ref. 8]. This peer review included an assessment of the PRA model maintenance and update process.
Since the 2008 peer review, an application specific PRA model update was completed in 2014 to support implementation of NFPA-805. As part of the development of this model a peer review of the fire PRA was conducted in January of 2012 [Ref. 101. This peer review used NEI 07-12 [Ref. 11] to evaluate the model against the ASME PRA Standard (ASME/ANS RA-Sa-2009) [Ref. 121 along with the NRC clarifications provided in Regulatory Guide 1.200, Rev. 2.The new model is the NM1 14B updated model.
2.2.3 Consistency with Applicable PRA Standards As indicated above there have been two relevant peer reviews conducted on the current PRA model.
* The 2008 peer review for the PRA ASME model update identified 309 Supporting Requirements (SR) applicable to the NMP-1 PRA. Of these: 29 were not met; 2 met capability category (cc) 1; 13 partially met cc 2; 31 met cc 2; 22 partially met cc 3; 14 met cc3; and, 198 fully met all capability requirements. There were 26 findings and observations (F&O's) issued to address the identified gaps to compliance with the PRA standard. Subsequent to the peer review, 21 of the findings have been addressed, 5 findings are still open pending the next model update. Those F&O's still open are listed in Table 2-1.
* The 2012 fire PRA peer review for the PRA ASME model update identified 279 SRs applicable to the NMP-1 PRA. Of these: 37 were not met; 5 met capability category (cc) 1; 10 partially met cc 2; 29 met cc 2; 16 partially met cc 3; 5 met cc 3; and, 177 fully met all capability requirements. There were 65 findings and 59 suggestions issued to address potential gaps to compliance with the PRA standard. Subsequent to the peer review, in order to satisfy the NFPA-805 transition LAR, all of the findings and suggestions have been addressed. As the results of this peer review have already been communicated to the NRC as part of the NFPA-805 submittal [Ref. 13 [Ref. 141 [Ref. 151 and subsequent requests for additional information (RAI) [Ref. 161 [Ref. 171 [Ref. 181 [Ref. 191 [Ref. 201

The remaining gaps are documented in the URE database so that they can be tracked and their potential impacts accounted for in applications where appropriate.
Each item will be reviewed as part of each STI change assessment that is performed and an assessment of the impact on the results of the application will be made prior to presenting the results of the risk analysis to the IDP. If the STI represents a potential impact to the PRA, then performance of additional sensitivity studies or PRA model changes to confirm the impact on the risk analysis may be considered.

Attachment 2 LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                                  Page 8 of 12 2.2.4 Identification of Key Assumptions The overall Initiative 5b process is a risk-informed process with the PRA model results providing one of the inputs to the IDP to determine if an STI change is warranted. The methodology recognizes that a key area of uncertainty for this application is the standby failure rate utilized in the determination of the STI extension impact. Therefore, the methodology requires the performance of selected sensitivity studies on the standby failure rate of the component(s) of interest for the STI assessment.
The results of the standby failure rate sensitivity study plus the results of any additional sensitivity studies identified during the performance of the reviews as outlined in 2.2.1 and 2.2.3 above (including a review of identified sources of uncertainty that were developed for NMPU1 based on the EPRI 1016737 guidance [Ref. 271) for each STI change assessment will be documented and included in the results of the risk analysis that goes to the IDP.
2.3    External Events Considerations The NEI 04-10 [Ref. 1] methodology allows for STI change evaluations to be performed in the absence of quantifiable PRA models for all external hazards. For those cases where the STI cannot be modeled in the plant PRA (or where a particular PRA model does not exist for a given hazard group), a qualitative or bounding analysis is performed to provide justification for the acceptability of the proposed test interval change.
External hazards were evaluated in the NMPU1 Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE) submittal in response to the NRC IPEEE Program (Generic Letter 88-20, Supplement 4) [Ref. 6. The IPEEE Program was a one-time review of external hazard risk and was limited in its purpose to the identification of potential plant vulnerabilities and the understanding of associated severe accident risks.
The results of the NMPU1 IPEEE study are documented in the NMPU1 IPEEE Main Report
[Ref. 28]. The primary areas of external event evaluation at NMPU1 were internal fire and seismic initiating events. The internal fire events were addressed by using a modified version of the EPRI Fire Induced Vulnerability Evaluation (FIVE) methodology [Ref. 291 and the seismic evaluations were performed in accordance with the EPRI Seismic Margins Analysis (SMA) methodology [Ref. 301. As such, there are no comprehensive CDF and LERF values available from the IPEEE to support the STI risk assessments.
In addition to internal fires and seismic events, the NMPU1 IPEEE analysis of high winds, floods, and other (HFO) external hazards was accomplished by reviewing the plant environs against regulatory requirements regarding these hazards. Since NMPU1 was designed (with construction started) prior to the issuance of the 1975 Standard Review Plan (SRP) criteria, Niagara Mohawk [now Exelon] performed a plant hazard and design information review for conformance with the SRP criteria. For seismic and fire events that were not screened out, additional analyses were performed to determine whether or not the hazard frequency was acceptably low. HFO events were screened out by compliance with the 1975 SRP criteria. As such, these hazards were determined in the NMPU1 IPEEE to be negligible contributors to overall plant risk.
Since the performance of the IPEEE, the NRC approved conversion from appendix R compliance to NFPA-805 for fire protection [Ref. 141. Pursuant to this change, a fire PRA has been created and implemented at NMPU1. This Fire PRA model was created under the auspices of NUREG/CR-6850 [Ref. 311 and has undergone BWROG peer review (completed February 2012) [Ref. 13]. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Attachment 2 LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                                 Page 9 of 12 Consolidated Model of Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) Methodology [Ref. 33, EPRI/NRC-RES Fire PRA Methodology for Nuclear Power Facilities [Ref. 31], Fire Events Database
[Ref. 341 and plant specific data were used to develop the NMP1 Fire PRA. This fire PRA has numerous capabilities not considered in the IPEEE fire PRA model, including explicit analysis of the main control room (MCR) and cable spreading room (CSR), as well as multiple spurious operations (MSO) considerations. The ignition frequencies for the MCR and CSR were developed using the guidance in NUREG/CR-6850 [Ref. 311. This Fire PRA model has been integrated with the internal events model to create NM1 14B. Ignition frequencies will be based on the NUREG/CR-6850 [Ref. 311 methodologies and incorporate revised guidance and ignition frequencies [Ref. 321.
As stated earlier, the NEI 04-10 [Ref. 1 methodology allows for STI change evaluations to be performed in the absence of quantifiable PRA models for all external hazards. Therefore, in performing the assessments for the other hazard groups, a qualitative or a bounding approach will be utilized in most cases. Where applicable, the results of any STI change will be evaluated against this model to ensure there is no undue risk associated with a given STI change. This approach is consistent with the accepted NEI 04-10 methodology.
2.4 Summary The NMPU1 PRA technical capability evaluations and the maintenance and update processes described above provide a robust basis for concluding that the NMPU1 PRA is suitable for use in risk-informed processes such as that proposed for the implementation of a Surveillance Frequency Control Program. Also, in addition to the standard set of sensitivity studies required per the NEI 04-10 [Ref. methodology, open items for changes at the site and remaining gaps to specific requirements in the PRA standard will be reviewed to determine which, if any, would merit application-specific sensitivity studies in the presentation of the application results.

BASES FOR 3.1.1 AND 4.1.1 CONTROL ROD SYSTEM The allowable inoperable rod patterns will be determined using information obtained in the startup test program supplemented by calculations. During initial startup, the reactivity condition of the as-built core will be determined.
Also, sub-critical patterns of widely separated withdrawn control rods will be observed in the control rod sequences being used. The observations, together with calculated strengths of the strongest control rods in these patterns will comprise a set of allowable separations of malfunctioning rods. During the fuel cycle, similar observations made during any cold shutdown can be used to update and/or increase the allowable patterns.
The number of rods permitted to be valved out of service could be many more than the six allowed by the specification, particularly late in the operating cycle; however, the occurrence of more than six could be indicative of a generic problem and the reactor will be shut down. Placing the reactor in the shutdown condition inserts the control rods and accomplishes the objective of the specifications on control rod operability. This operation is normally expected to be accomplished within ten hours.
Control rod insertion capability is demonstrated by inserting each partially or fully withdrawn control rod at least one notch and observing that the control rod moves. The control rod may then be returned to its original position. This ensures that the control rod is not stuck and is free to insert on a scram signal. This surveillance is not required when thermal power is less than or equal to the low power set point (LPSP) of the RWM, since notch insertion may not be compatible with the requirements of the RWM.

INSERT13 The requirement to exercise control rods at least once per 24 hours in the event power operation is continuing with two or more control rods which are valved out of service or one fully or partially withdrawn control rod which can not be moved, provides a reasonable time to test the control rods and provide assurance of the reliability of the remaining control rods.
: b. Control Rod Withdrawal (1)    Control rod dropout accidents as discussed in Appendix E* can lead to significant core damage. If coupling integrity is maintained, the possibility of a rod dropout accident is eliminated. The overtravel position feature provides a positive check as only uncoupled drives may reach this position. Neutron instrumentation response to rod movement provides an indirect verification that the rod is coupled to its drive. Details of the control rod drive coupling are given in Section IV.B.6.1*.

BASES FOR 3.1.2 AND 4.1.2 LIQUID POISON SYSTEM The liquid poison system also has a post-LOCA safety function to buffer the suppression pool pH in order to maintain the bulk pH above 7.0.
This function is necessary to prevent iodine re-evolution consistent with the Alternative Source Term analysis methodology. Manual system initiation is used, and the minimum amount of sodium pentaborate solution required to be injected for suppression pool pH buffering is 1114 gallons at a minimum concentration of 9.423 weight percent. This volume consists of the minimum required volume of 1325 gallons minus the 197 gallons that are contained below the point where the pump takes suction from the storage tank and minus 14 gallons that are assumed to remain in the pump suction and discharge piping after injection stops. Operation of a single liquid poison pump can satisfy this post-LOCA function. This function applies to the power operating condition, and also whenever the reactor coolant system temperature is greater than 212OF except for reactor vessel hydrostatic or leakage testing with the reactor not critical.
Specification 3.1.2.e requires initiation of a normal orderly plant shutdown within one hour if Specifications 3.1.2.a through 3.1.2.d are not met. Specifically, the plant must be brought to a reactor operating condition in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the reactor coolant system temperature must be reduced to - 212&deg;F by initiating a normal orderly shutdown using the normal plant shutdown procedure. Based on operating experience, the use of the normal plant shutdown procedure to achieve the plant shutdown results in a reasonable time to reach the required plant conditions from full power operating conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
Nearly all maintenance can be completed within a few days. Infrequently, however, major maintenance might be required. Replacement of principal system components could necessitate outages of more than 7 days. In spite of the best efforts of the operator to return equipment to service, some maintenance could require up to 6 months.
The system test specified demonstrates component response such as pump starting upon manual system initiation and is similar to the operating requirement under accident conditions. The only difference is that demineralized water rather than the boron solution will be pumped to the reactor vessel. ThC test ,p.,atig int,,al be"+...

Pump operability will be demonstrated on a more frequent basis. A continuity check of the firing circuit on the explosive valves is provided by pilot lights in the control room. Tank level and temperature alarms are provided to alert the operator of off-normal conditions.
The functional test and other surveillance on components, along with the monitoring instrumentation, gives a high reliability for liquid poison system operability.

Valve redundancy in the vent path serves to minimize the probability of inadvertent or irreversible actuation while ensuring that a single failure of a vent valve, power supply or control system does not prevent isolation of the vent path. The function, capabilities and testing requirements of the emergency cooling vent paths are consistent with the requirements of item ll.B.1 of NUREG 0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirement," November 1980.

BASES FOR 3.1.4 AND 4.1.4 CORE SPRAY SYSTEM The testing specified for each major refueling outage will demonstrate component response upon automatic system initiation. For example, pump set starting (low-low level or high drywell pressure) and valve opening (low-low level or high drywell pressure and low reactor pressure) must function, under simulated conditions, in the same manner as the systems are required to operate under actual conditions.
The only differences will be that demineralized water rather than suppression chamber water will be pumped to the reactor vessel and the reactor will be at atmospheric pressure. The core spray systems are designed such that demineralized water is available to the suction of one set of pumps in each system (Section VII-Figure VII-1 )*.

A flow restricting device has been p ovided in the test loop which will create a low pressure loss for testing of the system. In addition, the normally closed power operated b ocking valves will be manually opened and re-closed to demonstrate operability.
The intent of Specification 3.1.4i is to allow core spray operability at the time that the suppression chamber is dewatered which will allow n Drmal refueling activities to be performed. With a core spray pump taking suction from the CST, sufficient time is available to manually ir itiate one of the two raw water pumps that provide an alternate core spray supply using lake water. Both raw water pumps shall be o Derable in the event the suppression chamber was dewatered.

BASES FOR 3.1.5 AND 4.1.5 SOLENOID-ACTUATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES Pilot Valve - Maintenance is performed on the pilot valve assemblies during each refueling outage which includes a range of mechanical inspection and leak rate testing criteria. The inspection and maintenance activities include leak rate testing and demonstration of pilot stem/disc freedom of movement and reseat functionality. Following installation of the pilot valve assembly inside the housing, the pilot valve operating lever and pilot valve assembly freedom of movement and clearance adjustments are confirmed, followed by stroking the solenoid actuator plunger by hand to the full extent of travel. This ensures that the solenoid actuator plunger, pilot valve operating lever, and pilot valve assembly function as a unit.
Main Valve - Main valve testing will be performed at an offsite steam test facility. A spare pilot valve assembly and solenoid actuator, both representative of the components used at the plant, will be installed at the test facility to allow testing the main valve.
The valve will be installed on a test steam header in the same orientation as the plant installation. The test conditions in the test facility will be similar to those in the plant, including ambient temperature and steam conditions. The main valve will receive an initial seat leak test, a functional test to ensure it is capable of opening and closing, and a final seat leak test. Valve stroke time will be obtained during the exercise test. Valve seat tightness will be verified by a cold bar test, and if not free of fog, leakage will be measured and verified to be below specified acceptance criteria. After initial testing the main valves will be completely disassembled, inspected and refurbished, and then retested. The refurbished main valves will be stored at the offsite test facility and returned to the plant prior to the next scheduled use.
: 2. The second method is a manual actuation of the relief valve with the reactor at nominal operating pressure. Verification that the relief valve has opened and steam is flowing from the valve is provided by the response of the turbine bypass valves, a change in the measured steam flow, and indications on the acoustic monitor or thermocouple downstream of the valve. Manual actuation of the solenoid actuator during this test or during the maintenance procedures performed prior to this test will satisfy the surveillance requirement. Adequate reactor steam dome pressure must be available to perform the steam test to avoid damaging the valve. Also, adequate steam flow must be passing through the main turbine or main turbine bypass valves to continue to control reactor pressure when the solenoid-actuated relief valve diverts steam flow upon opening. Steam from the reactor vessel is discharged to the suppression pool during valve testing. The malfunction analysis (Section II.XV of the "Technical Supplement to Petition to Increase Power Level," dated April 1970) demonstrates that no serious consequences result if one valve fails to close, as no vessel or fuel stress limits are approached. Testing the relief valves with the reactor at nominal operating pressure assures that the relief valves can operate under nominal operating conditions. During reactor startup, while reactor pressure is increasing before the valves are tested, relief valve operability has not been positively verified. This is acceptable because: (1) redundant safety systems are provided to ensure adequate core cooling in the event of a small break LOCA with loss of feedwater and multiple relief valve failures; and (2) dynamic loads and suppression pool heatups associated with high pressure testing are within allowable limits.

BASES FOR 3.1.6 AND 4.1.6 CONTROL ROD DRIVE PUMP COOLANT INJECTION The high pressure coolant injection capability of the control rod drive pumps is used to provide high pressure makeup for the specified leakage of 25 gpm (see LCO 3.2.5) and to provide core cooling in the case of a small line break. Each pump can supply 50 gpm water makeup to the reactor vessel.
One pump will normally be operating. Electric power for this system is normally available from the reserve transformer. Automatic initiation is provided to start each pump on its respective diesel generator in case offsite power is lost.
The system minimum delivery rate of 50 gpm within 60 seconds of receipt of signal will assure that automatic pressure blowdown is not actuated for the specified leakage rate of 25 gpm.
The 60-second delay in pump starting is acceptable since at least 15 minutes are available before the triple low reactor water level signals the automatic pressure blowdown to start. This analysis was based on the following assumptions; no makeup to the reactor vessel, a 50 gpm (two times allowable) leak rate exists, and the emergency condensers over-perform by 10 percent.
Nearly all maintenance can be completed within a few days. Infrequently, however, major maintenance might be required. Replacement of principal system components could necessitate outages of more than 7 days. In spite of the best efforts of the operator to return equipment to service, some maintenance could require up to 6 months.

BASES FOR 3.1.7 AND 4.1.7 FUEL RODS Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR)
This specification assures that the peak cladding temperature and the peak local cladding oxidation following the postulated design basis loss-of-coolant accident will not exceed the limits specified in 10CFR50, Appendix K.
The peak cladding temperature following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident is primarily a function of the average heat generation rate of all the rods of a fuel assembly at any axial location and is only dependent secondarily on the rod-to-rod power distribution within an assembly. Since expected local variations in power distribution within a fuel assembly affect the calculated peak clad temperature by less than +/-200 F relative to the peak temperature for a typical fuel design, the limit on the average linear heat generation rate is sufficient to assure that calculated temperatures are within the 10CFR50, Appendix K limit. The limiting value for APLHGR is provided in the Core Operating Limits Report. The APLHGR curves in the Core Operating Limits Report are based on calculations using the models described in Reference 15.
The LOCA analyses are sensitive to minimum critical power ratio (MCPR). In the Reference 15 analysis, an MCPR value of 1.30 was assumed. If future transient analyses should yield a MCPR limit below this value, the Reference 15 LOCA analysis MCPR value would become limiting. The current MCPR limit is provided in the Core Operating Limits Report.
Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)
This specification assures that the linear heat generation rate in any rod is less than the design linear heat generation even if fuel pellet densification is postulated (Reference 12). The LHGR shall be checked d4ey during reactor operation at &#x17d;25% power to determine if fuel burnup or control rod movement has caused changes in power distribution.\

BASES FOR 3.1.8 AND 4.1.8 HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION The High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI) is provided to ensure adequate core cooling in the unlikely event of small reactor coolant line break. The HPCI System is available for line breaks which exceed the capability of the Control Rod Drive pumps and which are not large enough to allow fast enough depressurization for core spray to be effective.
One set of high pressure coolant injection pumps consists of a condensate pump, a feedwater booster pump and a motor driven feedwater pump. One set of pumps is capable of delivering 3,420 gpm to the reactor vessel at reactor pressure. The performance capability of HPCI alone and in conjunction with other systems to provide adequate core cooling for a spectrum of line breaks is discussed in the Fifth Supplement of the FSAR.
In determining the operability of the HPCI system, the required performance capability of various components shall be considered.
: a.      The HPCI System shall be capable of meeting at least 3,420 gpm flow at normal reactor operating pressure.
: b.      The motor driven feedwater pump shall be capable of automatic initiation upon receipt of either an automatic turbine trip signal or reactor low-water-level signal.
: c.      The Condenser hotwell level shall not be less than 57 inches (75,000 gallons).
: d.      The Condensate storage tanks inventory shall not be less than 105,000 gallons.
: e.      The motor-driven feedwater pump will automatically trip if reactor high water level is sustained for ten seconds and the associated pump downstream flow control valve is not closed.
During reactor startup and shutdown, only the condensate and feedwater booster pumps are in operation at reactor pressures below approximately 400 psig. The feedwater pump is in standby. However, if the HPCI initiation signal occurs, the feedwater pump would automatically start. Calculations show that the condensate and feedwater booster pump alone are capable of providing 3,420 gpm at a reactor pressure of approximately 270 psig.
The capability of the condensate, feedwater booster and motor driven feedwater pumps will be demonstrated by their operation as part of the feedwater supply during normal station operation. Stand by pumps will be plaed in se. i^ at least qu.,tely t. supply f..dwater during statien epeatie.n. An aut^matie systcm initiatien test will be perfcmcd at least enee per epcating cyele.

BASES FOR 3.2.3 AND 4.2.3 COOLANT CHEMISTRY In its May 8, 1997 letter, the NRC required that the licensee submit an application for amendment to address the differences between the current TS conductivity limits for reactor coolant chemistry and the analysis assumptions for the core shroud crack growth evaluations. The purpose of this specification is to limit intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) crack growth rates through the control of reactor coolant chemistry. The LCO values ensure that transient conditions are acted on to restore reactor coolant chemistry values to normal in a reasonable time frame. Under transient conditions, potential crack growth rates could exceed analytical assumptions, however, the duration will be limited so that any effect on potential crack growth is minimized and the design basis assumptions are maintained. The plant is normally operated such that the average coolant chemistry for the operating cycle is maintained at the conservative values of < 0.19 pmho/cm for conductivity and < 5 ppb for chloride ions and < 5 ppb for sulfate ions. This will ensure that the crack growth rate is bounded by the core shroud analysis assumptions. Since these are average values, there are no specific LCO actions to be taken if these values are exceeded at a specific point in time. The EPRI "BWR Water Chemistry Guidelines-1996 Revision" (EPRI TR-103515-RI, BWRVIP-
: 29) action level 1 guidelines suggest that if conductivity is above 0.3 pS/cm, or chloride or sulfate ions exceed 5 ppb, that corrective action be initiated as soon as possible and to restore levels below level 1 within 96 hours. If the parameters are not reduced to below these levels within 96 hours, complete a review and implement a program and schedule for implementing corrective measures.
Specifications 3.2.3a, b, and c are consistent with the licensee's commitment to Table 4.4 of the BWR water chemistry guidelines. The 24 hour action time period for exceeding the coolant chemistry limits described in 3.2.3a and b ensures that prompt action is taken to restore coolant chemistry to normal operating levels. The requirement to commence a shutdown within 1 hour, and to be shutdown and reactor coolant temperature be reduced to < 200 degrees F within 10 hours minimizes the potential for IGSCC crack growth. Reactor water samples are analyzed daily to ensure that reactor water quality remains within the BWR water chemist guidelines. These samples are analyzed and compared to action level 1 values.              periodically]                              an The conductivity of the reactor coolant is -       .ti..eu..ymonitored.

These actions will minimize the potential for IGSCC crack growth. <
NMP1 will use Noble Metal Chemical Addition (NMCA) as a method to enhance the effectiveness of Hydrogen Water Chemistry (HWC) in mitigating IGSCC. NMCA will result in temporary increases in reactor coolant conductivity values during and following application. During application, the conductivity limit specified in 3.2.3a and 3.2.3c.1 is increased to 20 pmho/cm. The application period includes post-NMCA injection cleanup activities conducted prior to returning the plant to power operation. An increase in conductivity is expected principally due to residual ionic species from the NMCA. However, these species have minor effects on IGSCC and are, therefore, acceptable. During NMCA, samples will be obtained from the temporary skid which is placed in service during the NMCA injection process.

BASES FOR 3.2.4 AND 4.2.4 REACTOR COOLANT SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The specific activity in the reactor coolant is an initial condition for evaluation of the radiological consequences of a main steam line break (MSLB) outside of primary containment. No fuel damage is postulated in the MSLB accident, and the release of radioactive material to the environment is assumed to end when the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) close completely. The specific iodine activity is limited to
_<0.2 gCi/gm Dose Equivalent 1-131. This limit ensures that the source term assumed in the radiological consequences analysis for the MSLB accident is not exceeded, so that any release of radioactivity to the environment during a MSLB results in offsite and control room radiation doses that satisfy the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183. It is also conservative with respect to the value used in the radiological consequences analyses for other postulated small break loss of coolant accidents outside of primary containment and for postulated instrument line breaks.
The limits on reactor coolant specific activity are applicable in the power operating and hot shutdown conditions, since there is an escape path for release of radioactive material from the reactor coolant system to the environment in the event of a MSLB outside of primary containment. In the cold shutdown, refueling, and major maintenance conditions, no limits are required since the reactor is not pressurized and the potential for leakage is reduced.
When the reactor coolant specific activity exceeds the limit of 0.2 tiCi/gm Dose Equivalent 1-131, but is _*4.0 j.Ci/gm, samples must be analyzed for Dose Equivalent 1-131 at least once every 4 hours. In addition, the specific activity must be restored to the limit within 48 hours.
The completion time of once every 4 hours is based on the time needed to take and analyze a sample. The 48 hour completion time to restore the activity level provides a reasonable time for temporary coolant activity increases (iodine spikes or crud bursts) to be cleaned up with the normal processing systems.
The isotopic analyses of reactor water samples will be used to assure that the limit of Specification 3.2.4 is not exceeded during normal operation.             frequeney is adequate to trend changes in the iodine activity level. The surveillance requirement need only be performed du&#xfd;r      the power operating condition because the level of fission products generated in other operating conditions is much less.
In addition, the tren     the stack offgas release rate, which is continuously monitored, is a good indicator of the trend of the iodine activity in the reactor coolant.                 INSERT 3, and Since the concentration of radioactivity in the reactor coolant is not continuously measured, coolant sampling would be ineffective as a means to rapidly detect gross fuel element failures. However, as discussed in the bases for Specification 3.6.2, some capability to detect gross fuel element failures is inherent in the radiation monitors in the offgas system and on the main steam lines.

BASES FOR 3.2.5 AND 4.2.5 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE RATE Another method of determining reactor coolant leakage rate is by monitoring for excess leakage in the drywell floor and equipment drain tanks. This system monitors the change in tank volume over accurate time periods for the full range of tank instrumentation. If the leakage is high enough, an alarm is actuated indicating a leak rate above the predetermined limit (Section V.B)*.
Additional information is available to the operator which can be used for the shift leakage check if the drywell sumps level alarms are out of service. The integrated flow pumped from the sumps to the waste disposal system can be checked.
Qualitative information is also available to the operator in the form of indication of drywell atmospheric conditions. Continuous leakage from the primary coolant system would cause an increase in drywell temperature. Any leakage in excess of 15 gpm of steam would cause a continuing increase in drywell pressure with resulting scram (First Supplement)*.
Either the rate of rise leak detection system, the excess leakage detection system or the integrated flow can be utilized to satisfy Specification 3.2.5.b.

BASES FOR 3.2.7 AND 4.2.7 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM ISOLATION VALVES and outboard isolation valves. To prevent a spurious or inadvertent valve opening from defeating the water seal, the motor-operated shutdown cooling system isolation valves are required to be de-activated (power is removed) during normal plant operation. Thus, the motor-operated shutdown cooling system isolation valves are considered operable when the valves are closed and de-activated and the water seal is capable of performing its function.
When the shutdown cooling system is placed in service for plant cooldown (with reactor pressure < 120 psig and temperature < 3500F), power for the motor-operated isolation valves must be restored and the valves opened. Should a loss of coolant accident occur at this time, failure of an isolation valve to close upon receipt of an isolation signal could cause a loss of the water seal. The risk associated with this potential single failure has been determined to be acceptable based on the low probability of a core damage event occurring during shutdown cooling system operation(2 ).
Specification 3.2.7.d requires operability of the shutdown cooling system isolation valves whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel and the reactor coolant temperature is less than or equal to 212&deg;F. If any isolation valve becomes inoperable, Specification 3.2.7.e requires that, within 4 hours, at least one valve in each line having an inoperable valve is in the mode corresponding to the isolated condition. However, if the shutdown cooling function is needed to provide core cooling, isolating the shutdown cooling line is not desirable. Specification 3.2.7.f allows the shutdown cooling line to remain unisolated provided action is immediately initiated to suspend operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs).
If suspending the OPDRVs would result in closing the shutdown cooling system isolation valves, an alternative action is provided to immediately initiate action to restore the valve(s) to operable status. This allows the shutdown cooling system to remain in service while actions are being taken to restore the valve(s). The term "immediately" means that the action should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner. Either of the actions identified in Specification 3.2.7.f must continue until OPDRVs are suspended or the valves are restored to operable status. Operation with the shutdown cooling system in service is not considered an OPDRV so long as system integrity is maintained. System integrity is maintained provided the piping is intact and no maintenance is being performed that has the potential for draining the reactor vessel through the system. In addition, with the reactor coolant temperature less than or equal to 212 0F, the water seal function is not required to consider the shutdown cooling system isolation valves operable since primary containment integrity is not required with reactor coolant temperature less than or equal to 215 0F.

BASES FOR 3.2.9 AND 4.2.9 PRESSURE RELIEF SYSTEM - SOLENOID ACTUATED PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES As discussed in 2.2.2 and 3.2.8 above, the solenoid-actuated pressure relief valves are used to avoid actuation of the safety valves. The set points of the six relief valves are staggered. Two valves are set at 1090 psig, two are set at 1095 psig, and two are set at 1100 psig.
The operator will endeavor to place the set-point at these figures. However, the Allowable Value for each valve can be as much as +/-24 psig. The as found value for at least 2 relief valves must be greater than the as found high reactor pressure scram value.
Six valves are provided for the automatic depressurization function, as described in 3.1.5. However, only five valves are required to prevent actuation of the safety valves, as discussed in the Technical Supplement to Petition to Increase Power Level, Section II.XV, letter, T. J. Brosnan to Peter A. Morris dated February 28, 1972, and letter, Philip D. Raymond to A. Giambusso, dated October 15, 1973.

BASES FOR 3.3.1 AND 4.3.1 OXYGEN CONCENTRATION The four percent by volume oxygen concentration eliminates the possibility of hydrogen combustion following a loss-of-coolant accident (Section VII-G.2.0 and Appendix E-II.5.2)*. The only way that significant quantities of hydrogen could be generated by metal-water reaction would be ifthe core spray system failed to sufficiently cool the core. As discussed in Section VII-A.2.0*, each core spray system will deliver, as a minimum, core spray sparger flow as shown on Figure VII-2*. In addition to hydrogen generated by metal-water reaction, significant quantities can be generated by radiolysis. (Technical Supplement to Petition for Conversion from Provisional Operating License to Full Term Operating License).
Inerting the primary containment is an operational problem because it prevents containment access without an appropriate breathing apparatus. Therefore, the primary containment is inerted as late as possible in the plant startup and deinerted as soon as possible in the plant shutdown. The probability of an event that generates hydrogen occurring within the first 24 hours of a startup, or within the last 24 hours before a shutdown, is low enough that these "windows," when the primary containment is not inerted, are also justified. The 24 hour time period is a reasonable amount of time to allow plant personnel to perform inerting or deinerting.
If oxygen concentration is greater than or equal to four percent by volume at any time while in the power operating condition, with the exception of the relaxations allowed during startup and shutdown, oxygen concentration must be restored to less than four percent by volume within 24 hours. The 24 hour completion time is allowed when oxygen concentration is greater than or equal to four percent by volume because of the low probability and long duration of an event that would generate significant amounts of hydrogen occurring during this period.
If oxygen concentration cannot be restored to within limits within the required completion time, reactor coolant pressure must be reduced to less than or equal to 110 psig within 10 hours.
At reactor pressures of 110 psig or less, the reactor will have been shutdown for more than an hour and the decay heat will be at sufficiently low values so that fuel rods will be completely wetted by core spray. The fuel clad temperatures would not exceed the core spray water saturation temperature of about 344 0 F.
The primary containment is normally slightly pressurized during periods of reactor operation. Nitrogen used for inerting could leak out of the containment but air could not leak in to increase the oxygen concentration. Once the containment is filled with nitrogen to the required concentration, no monitoring of oxygen concentration is necessary.                tleat oco a week, the aotor,                            conentration

BASES FOR 3.3.2 AND 4.3.2 PRESSURE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM PRESSURE AND SUPPRESSION CHAMBER WATER TEMPERATURE AND LEVEL Because of the large volume and thermal capacity of the suppression pool, the volume and temperature normally changes very slowly and monitoring these parameters daily is sufficient to establish any temperature trends. By requiring the suppression pool temperature to be continually monitored and frequently logged during periods of significant heat addition, the temperature trends will be closely followed so that appropriate action can be taken. The requirement for an external visual examination following any event where potentially high loadings could occur provides assurance that no significant damage was encountered. Particular attention should be focused on structural discontinuities in the vicinity of the relief valve discharge since these are expected to be the points of highest stress.
Continuous monitoring of suppression chamber water level and temperature and pressure suppression system pressure is provided in the control room. Alarms for these parameters are also provided in the control room.

BASES FOR 3.3.4 AND 4.3.4 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES The list of primary containment isolation valves is contained in the procedure governing controlled lists and has been removed from the Technical Specifications per Generic Letter 91-08. Revisions will be processed in accordance with Quality Assurance Program requirements.
Double isolation valves are provided on lines penetrating the primary containment and open to the free space of the containment. Closure of one of the valves in each line would be sufficient to maintain the integrity of the pressure suppression system. Except where check valves are used as one or both of a set of double isolation valves, the isolation valves shall be capable of automatic initiation. Automatic initiation is required to minimize the potential leakage paths from the containment in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident. Details of the isolation valves are discussed in Section VI-D(1). For allowable leakage rate specification, see Section 3.3.3/4.3.3.
For the design basis loss-of-coolant accident fuel rod perforation would not occur until the fuel temperature reached 1700&deg;F which occurs in approximately 100 seconds 2( . The required closing times for all primary containment isolation valves are established to prevent fission product release through lines connecting to the primary containment.
For reactor coolant system temperatures less than 215'F, the containment could not become pressurized due to a loss-of-coolant accident.
The 215'F limit is based on preventing pressurization of the reactor building and rupture of the blowout panels.

In addition to routine surveillance as outlined in Section VI-D.1.0(1) each instrument-line flow check valve will be tested for operability. All instruments on a given line will be isolated at each instrument. The line will be purged by isolating the flow check valve, opening the bypass valves, and opening the drain valve to the equipment drain tank. When purging is sufficient to clear the line of non-condensibles and crud the flow-check valve will be cut into service and the bypass valve closed. The main valve will again be opened and the flow-check valve allowed to close. The flow-check valve will be reset by closing the drain valve and opening the bypass valve depressurizing part of the system. Instruments will be cut into service after closing the bypass valve. Repressurizing of the individual instruments assures that flow-check valves have reset to the open position. Alternatively, operability testing of excess flow check valves may be performed prior to installation using a test set-up that simulates an instrument line break condition.

BASES FOR 3.3.6 AND 4.3.6 VACUUM RELIEF Each drywell-suppression chamber vacuum breaker is equipped with two independent switches to indicate the opening of the valve disk.
Redundant control room alarms are provided to permit detection of any drywell-suppression chamber vacuum breaker opening in excess of the described allowable limits. The containment design has been examined to establish the allowable bypass area between the drywell and suppression chamber as 0.053 square feet.
The limit on each individual valve will be set such that with all valves at their limit, the maximum value of cumulative leakage will not exceed the maximum allowable. The value will be at approximately 0.06 inch of disk travel off its seat and will be alarmed in the control room.
The purpose of the vacuum relief valves is to equalize the pressure between the drywell and suppression chamber and between the suppression chamber and reactor building so that the structural integrity of the containment is maintained.
The vacuum relief system from the pressure suppression chamber to the reactor building consists of three vacuum relief breakers (3 parallel sets of 2 valves in series). Operation of either system will maintain the pressure differential less than 1 psig; the external pressure is 2 psig.
The leak rate testing program is based on AEC guidelines for development of leak rate testing and surveillance schedules for reactor containment vessels.
Surveillance of the suppression chamber-reactor building vacuum breakers consists of operability checks and leakage tests (conducted as part of the containment leak-tightness tests). These vacuum breakers are normally in the closed position and open only during tests or an accident condition. Th-r.cfo., a testing frcgu .n.y      e . .hr..-- t'R.---*.p.....*.;,    i. nside.^d

The subsequent suppression chamber transient will be monitored with a sufficiently sensitive pressure instrument. If the drywell pressure cannot be increased by 1 psi over the suppression chamber pressure, it would indicate existence of a significant leakage path which will be identified and eliminated before further drywell vacuum breaker testing.

BASES FOR 3.3.7 AND 4.3.7 CONTAINMENT SPRAY SYSTEM In conjunction with containment spray pump operation during each operating cycle, the raw water pumps and associated cooling system performance will be observed. The containment spray system shall be capable of automatic initiation from simultaneous low-low reactor water level and high containment pressure. The associated raw water cooling system shall be capable of manual actuation. Operation of the containment spray system involves spraying water into the atmosphere of the containment. Therefore, periodic system tests are not practical. Instead separate testing of automatic containment spray pump startup will be performed during each operating cycle. During pump operation, water will be recycled to the suppression chamber. Also, tests to verify that the drywell and torus spray nozzles are free from obstructions will be performed following maintenance that could result in nozzle blockage. As an alternative, a visual inspection (e.g.,
boroscope) of the nozzles or piping could be utilized in lieu of an air test if a visual inspection is determined to provide an equivalent or more effective post-maintenance test. A visual inspection may be more effective if the potential for material intrusion is localized and the affected area is accessible. Maintenance that could result in nozzle blockage would be those maintenance activities on any loop of the containment spray system where the Foreign Material Exclusion program controls were deemed ineffective. For activities such as valve repair/replacement, a visual inspection would be the preferred post-maintenance test since small debris in a localized area is the most likely concern. An air test may be appropriate following an event where a large amount of debris potentially entered the system or water was actually discharged through the spray nozzles. Design features are discussed in Volume I, Section VII-B.2.0 (page VI1-19)*. The valves in the containment spray system are normally open and are not required to operate when the system is called upon to operate.

BASES FOR 3.4.1 AND 4.4.1 LEAKAGE RATE If the wind direction was not from the direction which gave the least reactor building leakage, building internal pressure would not be as negative as Figure 3.4.1 indicates. Therefore, to reduce pressure, the fan flow rate would have to be increased. This erroneously indicates that reactor building leakage is greater than if wind direction were accounted for. If wind direction were accounted for, another pressure curve could be used which was less negative. This would mean that less fan flow (or measured leakage) would be required to establish building pressure.
However, for simplicity it is assumed that the test is conducted during conditions leading to the least leakage while the accident is assumed to occur during conditions leading to the greatest reactor building leakage.
As discussed in the Second Supplement and Fifth Supplement, the pressure for Figure 3.4.1 is independent of the reactor building leakage rate referenced to zero mph wind speed at a negative differential pressure of 0.25 inch of water. Regardless of the leakage rate at these design conditions, the pressure versus wind speed relationship remains unchanged for any given wind direction.
By requiring the reactor building pressure to remain within the limits presented in Figure 3.4.1 and a reactor building leakage rate of less than 1600 cfm, exfiltration would be prevented. This would assure that the leakage from the primary containment is directed through the filter system and discharged from the 350-foot stack.

BASES FOR 3.4.2 AND 4.4.2 REACTOR BUILDING INTEGRITY ISOLATION VALVES Isolation of the reactor building occurs automatically upon high radiation of the normal building exhaust ducts or from high radiation at the refueling platform (See 3.6.2). Isolation will assure that any fission products entering the reactor building will be routed to the emergency ventilation system prior to discharge to the environment (Section VII-H.3.0 of the FSAR).
The two principal accidents for which the reactor building isolation valves must be operable are a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and a refueling accident involving "recently irradiated" fuel. In addition to these limiting events, events occurring during handling of an irradiated fuel cask and operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs) can be postulated to cause a fission product release. During these events, the reactor building would be the only barrier to a release to the environment. Thus, the reactor building isolation valves are required to be operable during handling of an irradiated fuel cask and during OPDRVs.
The Refueling Accident analysis is based on an alternative source term (AST) methodology (10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183). This analysis concluded that the calculated total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) values to the control room occupants, the exclusion area boundary, and the low population zone are well below the TEDE criteria established in 10 CFR 50.67 without crediting reactor building integrity or operation of the reactor building emergency ventilation system (RBEVS), as long as the fuel is allowed to decay for at least 24 hours following reactor shutdown. As a result, "recently irradiated" fuel is defined as fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within 24 hours; i.e., reactor fuel that has decayed less than 24 hours following reactor shutdown. Therefore, reactor building integrity is not required and the reactor building isolation valves are not required to be operable during movement of decayed irradiated fuel that is no longer considered "recently irradiated."
Conversely, reactor building integrity is required and the reactor building isolation valves are required to be operable during movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies.

BASES FOR 3.4.3 AND 4.4.3 ACCESS CONTROL The secondary containment is designed to minimize any ground level release of radioactive materials that might result from a serious accident.
The reactor building provides secondary containment during reactor operation, when the drywell is sealed and in service. The reactor building provides primary containment during periods when the reactor is shutdown, the drywell is open, and activities are ongoing that require secondary containment to be in effect.
There are two principal accidents for which credit is taken for reactor building (secondary containment) integrity. These are a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and a refueling accident involving "recently irradiated" fuel. The reactor building performs no active function in response to each of these limiting events; however, its leak tightness is required to ensure that the release of radioactive materials is restricted to those leakage paths and associated leakage rates assumed in the accident analysis and that fission products entrapped within the reactor building structure will be treated by the Reactor Building Emergency Ventilation System (RBEVS) prior to discharge to the environment.
In addition to these limiting events, events occurring during handling of an irradiated fuel cask and operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs) can be postulated to cause a fission product release. During these events, the reactor building would be the only barrier to a release to the environment. Thus, reactor building integrity is required during handling of an irradiated fuel cask and during OPDRVs.
The Refueling Accident analysis is based on an alternative source term (AST) methodology (10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183).
This analysis concluded that the calculated total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) values to the control room occupants, the exclusion area boundary, and the low population zone are well below the TEDE criteria established in 10 CFR 50.67 without crediting reactor building integrity, operation of the RBEVS, or operation of the Control Room Air Treatment System (CRATS), as long as the fuel is allowed to decay for at least 24 hours following reactor shutdown. As a result, "recently irradiated" fuel is defined as fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within 24 hours; i.e., reactor fuel that has decayed less than 24 hours following reactor shutdown. Therefore, reactor building integrity is not required during movement of decayed irradiated fuel that is no longer considered "recently irradiated." Conversely, reactor building integrity is required during movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies.
As discussed in Section VI-F* all access openings of the reactor building have as a minimum two doors in series. Appropriate local alarms and control room indicators are provided to always insure that reactor building integrity is maintained. Surveillance of the reactor building access doors provides additional assurance that reactor building integrity is maintained.
Maintaining closed doors on the pump compartments ensures that suction to the core and containment spray pumps is not lost in case of a gross leak from the suppression chamber.

BASES FOR 3.4.4 AND 4.4.4 EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM The emergency ventilation system is designed to filter and exhaust the reactor building atmosphere to the stack during secondary containment isolation conditions. Both emergency ventilation system fans are designed to automatically start upon high radiation in the reactor building ventilation duct or at the refueling platform and to maintain the reactor building pressure to the design negative pressure so as to minimize in-leakage. Should one system fail to start, the redundant system is designed to start automatically. Each of the two fans has 100 percent capacity.
High efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filters are installed before and after the charcoal adsorbers to minimize potential release of particulates to the environment and to prevent clogging of the iodine adsorbers. The charcoal adsorbers are installed to reduce the potential release of radioiodine to the environment. The in-place test results should indicate a system leak tightness of less than 1 percent bypass leakage for the charcoal adsorbers and a HEPA efficiency of at least 99 percent removal of DOP particulates. The laboratory carbon sample test results should indicate a radioactive methyl iodide removal efficiency of at least 95 percent, which is derived from applying a safety factor of 2 to the charcoal filter efficiency of 90 percent assumed in analysis of design basis accidents. If the efficiencies of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers are as specified, the resulting doses will be less than the 10 CFR 50.67 acceptance criteria for the accidents analyzed. Operation of the fans significantly different from the design flow will change the removal efficiency of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.
Only one of the two emergency ventilation systems is needed to cleanup the reactor building atmosphere upon containment isolation. If one system is found to be inoperable, there is no immediate threat to the containment system performance and reactor operation or refueling activities may continue while repairs are being made. If neither circuit is operable, the plant is brought to a condition where the emergency ventilation system is not required.
Pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers of less than 6 inches of water at the system design flow rate will indicate that the filters and adsorbers are not clogged by excessive amounts of foreign matter. Pressure drop should be determined at least once per operating cycle to show system performance capability.
The frequency of tests and sample analysis are necessary to show that the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers can perform as evaluated.
The charcoal adsorber efficiency test should allow for charcoal sampling to be conducted using an ASTM D3803-1989 approved method.
If test results are unacceptable, all adsorbent in the system shall be replaced with an adsorbent meeting the physical property specifications of Table 5-1 of ANSI 509-1980.

BASES FOR 3.4.5 AND 4.4.5 CONTROL ROOM AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM (Ref. 4). Options for restoring the CRE boundary to operable status include changing the licensing basis DBA consequence analysis, repairing the CRE boundary, or a combination of these actions. Depending upon the nature of the problem and the corrective action, a full scope inleakage test may not be necessary to establish that the CRE boundary has been restored to operable status.
High efficiency particulate absolute (HEPA) filters are installed before the charcoal adsorbers to prevent clogging of the iodine adsorber. The charcoal adsorbers are installed to reduce the potential intake of radioiodine to the control room. The in-place test results should indicate a system leak tightness of less than 1 percent bypass leakage for the charcoal adsorbers and a HEPA efficiency of at least 99 percent removal of DOP particulates. The laboratory carbon sample test results should indicate a radioactive methyl iodide removal efficiency of at least 95 percent, which is derived from applying a safety factor of 2 to the charcoal filter efficiency of 90 percent assumed in analyses of design basis accidents. If the efficiencies of the HEPA filter and charcoal adsorbers are as specified, adequate radiation protection will be provided such that resulting doses will be less than the allowable levels stated in 10 CFR 50.67. Operation of the fans significantly different from the design flow will change the removal efficiency of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.
Pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers of less than 1.5 inches of water at the system design flow rate will indicate that the filters and adsorbers are not clogged by excessive amounts of foreign matter. Pr*,.,*uFr

The frequency of tests and sample analysis are necessary to show the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers can perform as evaluated. The charcoal adsorber efficiency test should allow for charcoal sampling to be conducted using an ASTM D3803-1989 approved method. If test results are unacceptable, all adsorbent in the system shall be replaced with an adsorbent meeting the physical property specifications of Table 5-1 of ANSI 509-1980. The replacement charcoal for the adsorber tray removed for the test should meet the same adsorbent quality. Any HEPA filters found defective shall be replaced with filters qualified pursuant to ANSI 509-1980.

BASES FOR 3.4.5 AND 4.4.5 CONTROL ROOM AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM The two principal accidents for which the Control Room Air Treatment System (CRATS) must be operable are a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and a refueling accident involving "recently irradiated" fuel. In addition to these limiting events, events occurring during handling of an irradiated fuel cask and operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs) can be postulated to cause a fission product release. Thus, the CRATS is required to be operable during handling of an irradiated fuel cask and during OPDRVs.
The Refueling Accident analysis is based on an alternative source term (AST) methodology (10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183). This analysis concluded that the calculated total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) values to the control room occupants, the exclusion area boundary, and the low population zone are well below the TEDE criteria established in 10 CFR 50.67 without crediting operation of the CRATS, as long as the fuel is allowed to decay for at least 24 hours following reactor shutdown. As a result, "recently irradiated" fuel is defined as fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within 24 hours; i.e., reactor fuel that has decayed less than 24 hours following reactor shutdown. Therefore, the CRATS is not required to be operable during movement of decayed irradiated fuel that is no longer considered "recently irradiated." Conversely, the CRATS is required to be operable during movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies.

If significant painting, fire or chemical release occurs such that the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber could become contaminated from the fumes, chemicals or foreign materials, the same tests and sample analysis shall be performed as required for operational use. The determination of significant shall be made by the operator on duty at the time of the incident. Knowledgeable staff members should be consulted prior to making this determination.

BASES FOR 3.5.2 AND 4.5.2 REFUELING PLATFORM INTERLOCK The control rod withdrawal block and refueling platform travel blocks are provided to back up normal procedural controls to prevent inadvertent large reactivity additions to the core. These interlocks are provided even though no more than one control rod can be removed from the core at a time during refueling with the mode switch in the "refuel" position. Even in the fresh fully loaded core if a new assembly is dropped into a vacant position adjacent to the withdrawn rod, no excursion would result. This is discussed in detail in Appendix E-11.3.0 of the FSAR.
There are normally two Station personnel directly involved in refueling the reactor, one in the control room and one at the platform. If the interlocks are inoperable, an additional person will check that "a" and "b" are not violated.

(b)   May be bypassed in the refuel and shutdown positions of the reactor mode switch with a keylock switch.
(c)   May be bypassed in the refuel and startup positions of the reactor mode switch when reactor pressure is less than 600 psi, or for the purpose of performing reactor coolant system pressure testing and/or control rod scram time testing with the reactor mode switch in the refuel position.
(d)   No more than one of the four IRM inputs to each trip system shall be bypassed.
(e)   No more than two C or D level LPRM inputs to an APRM shall be bypassed and only four LPRM inputs to an APRM shall be bypassed in order for the APRM to be considered operable. No more than one of the four APRM inputs to each trip system shall be bypassed provided that the APRM in the other instrument channel in the same core quadrant is not bypassed. A Traversing In-Core Probe (TIP) chamber may be used as a substitute APRM input ifthe TIP is positioned in close proximity to the failed LPRM it is replacing.
(f)   Verify SRM/IRM channels overlap during startup after the mode switch has been placed in startup. Verify IRM/APRM channels overlap at least 1/2 decade during entry into startup from run (normal shutdown) if not performed within the previous 7 days.
(g)   Within 24 hours before startup, if not performed within the previous 7 days. Not required to be performed during shutdown until 12 hours after entering startup from run.
(h)   Each of the four isolation valves has two limit switches. Each limit switch provides input to one of two instrument channels in a single trip system.
(i)   May be bypassed when reactor power level is below 45%.
(j)   Trip upon loss of oil pressure to the acceleration relay.
(k)   May be bypassed when placing the reactor mode switch in the SHUTDOWN position and all control rods are fully inserted.

(o) A channel may be placed in an inoperable status for up to 6 hours for required surveillances without placing the Trip System in the tripped condition provided at least one Operable Instrument Channel in the same trip system is monitoring that parameter.
With one channel required by Table 3.6.2a inoperable in one or more Parameters, place the inoperable channel and/or that trip system in the tripped condition* within 12 hours.
With two or more channels required by Table 3.6.2a inoperable in one or more Parameters:
: 1. Within one hour, verify sufficient channels remain Operable or tripped* to maintain trip capability for the Parameter, and
: 2. Within 6 hours, place the inoperable channel(s) in one trip system and/or that trip system** in the tripped condition*, and
: 3. Within 12 hours, restore the inoperable channels in the other trip system to an Operable status or tripped*.
Otherwise, take the ACTION required by Specification 3.6.2a for that Parameter.
* An inoperable channel or trip system need not be placed in the tripped condition where this would cause the Trip Function to occur.
In these cases, if the inoperable channel is not restored to Operable status within the required time, the ACTION required by Specification 3.6.2a for the parameter shall be taken.
**  This ACTION applies to that trip system with the most inoperable channels; if both trip systems have the same number of inoperable channels, the ACTION can be applied to either trip system.
(p) May be bypassed during reactor coolant system pressure testing and/or control rod scram time testing.

The APRM rod block trip is flow biased and prevents a significant reduction in MCPR especially during operation at reduced flow.
The APRM provides gross core protection; i.e., limits the gross core power increase from withdrawal of control rods in the normal withdrawal sequence. The trips are set so that MCPR is maintained greater than the SLCPR.
The APRM rod block also provides local protection of the core; i.e., the prevention of critical heat flux in a local region of the core, for a single rod withdrawal error from a limiting control rod pattern. The trip point is flow biased. The worst case single control rod withdrawal error has been analyzed and the results show that with the specified trip settings rod withdrawal is blocked before the MCPR reaches the SLCPR, thus allowing adequate margin. Below -60% power the worst case withdrawal of a single control rod results in a MCPR > SLCPR without rod block action, thus below this level it is not required.
The IRM rod block function provides local as well as gross core protection. The scaling arrangement is such that trip setting is less than a factor of 10 above the indicated level. Analysis of the worst case accident results in rod block action before MCPR approaches the SLCPR.

BASES FOR 3.6.3 AND 4.6.3 EMERGENCY POWER SOURCES If a battery system becomes inoperable, that battery system must be returned to an operable status within 24 hours. If the 24-hour allowed outage time cannot be met, then Specification 3.0.1 must be entered immediately. The second paragraph of Specification 3.0.1 provides two options:
: 1. Place the unit in a condition consistent with the individual specification; however, in this case, the individual specification (i.e., 3.6.3) does not provide any action to take when a battery system has been inoperable for more than 24 hours. To determine required actions and action completion times, the individual specifications for the systems supported by the battery system should be entered and reviewed to determine applicable actions. If no actions are applicable for the given reactor operating condition, then no actions are required.
or
: 2. Place the unit in an operational condition in which the specification is not applicable (i.e., cold shutdown).

BASES FOR 3.6.5 AND 4.6.5 RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL SOURCES The limitations on sealed source removable contamination ensure that the total body or individual organ irradiation does not exceed allowable limits in the event of ingestion or inhalation of the probable leakage from the source material. The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(c) limits for plutonium. Quantities of interest to this specification which are exempt from the leakage testing are consistent with the criteria of 10 CFR Parts 30.11-20 and 70.19. Leakage from sources excluded from the requirements of this specification is not likely to represent more than one maximum permissible body burden for total body irradiation if the source material is inhaled or ingested.

Note 1: Surveillance intervals are specified in the Surveillance Frequency Control Program unless otherwise noted in Table 14.6.13-1 AMENDMENT NO. 142                                                                                                                                            280

BASES FOR 3.6.13 AND 4.6.13 REMOTE SHUTDOWN PANELS The remote shutdown panels provide 1) manual initiation of the emergency condensers 2) manual control of the steam supply valves and 3) parameters monitoring independent of the main/auxiliary control room. Two panels are provided, each located in a separate fire area, for added redundancy. Both panels are also in separate fire areas from the main/auxiliary control room. One channel of each Function provides the necessary capabilities consistent with 10 CFR 50.48(c). Therefore, only one channel of either remote shutdown panel monitoring instrument or control is required to be operable. The electrical design of the panels is such that no single fire can cause loss of both emergency condensers.
Each remote shutdown panel is provided with controls for one emergency condenser loop. The emergency condensers are designed such that automatic initiation is independently assured in the event of a fire 1) in the Reactor Building (principle relay logic located in the auxiliary control room or 2) in the main/auxiliary control room or Turbine Building (redundant relay logic located in the Reactor Building). Each remote shutdown panel also has controls to operate the two motor-operated steam supply valves on its respective emergency condenser loop. A key operated bypass switch is provided to override the automatic isolation signal to these valves. Once the bypass switch is activated, the steam supply valves can be manually controlled from the remote shutdown panels. Since automatic initiation of the emergency condenser is assured, the remote shutdown panels serve as additional manual controlling stations for the emergency condensers. In addition, certain parameters are monitored at each remote shutdown panel.
The remote shutdown panels are normally de-energized, except for the monitoring instrumentation, which is normally energized. To energize the remaining functions on a remote shutdown panel, a power switch located on each panel must be activated. Once the panels are completely energized, the emergency condenser condensate return valve and steam supply valve controls can be utilized.

BASES FOR 3.7.1 AND 4.7.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN DEMONSTRATION The shutdown margin demonstration may be performed prior to power operation. However, the mode switch must be placed in the startup position to allow withdrawal of more than one control rod. Specifications 3.7.1 and 4.7.1 require certain restrictions in order to ensure that an inadvertent criticality does not occur while performing the shutdown margin demonstration.
This special test exception provides the appropriate additional controls    to allow the shutdown margin demonstration to be performed in the cold shutdown condition with the vessel head in place. Compliance            with this special test exception is optional and applies only if the shutdown margin demonstration will be performed prior to the reactor        coolant system pressure and control rod scram time tests following refueling outages when core alterations are performed. The shutdown         margin demonstration is performed using the in-sequence non-critical method.

6.5.8   Control Room Envelope Habitability Program A Control Room Envelope (CRE) Habitability Program shall be established and implemented to ensure that CRE habitability is maintained such that, with an OPERABLE Control Room Air Treatment (CRAT) System, CRE occupants can control the reactor safely under normal conditions and maintain it in a safe condition following a radiological event, hazardous chemical release, or a smoke challenge. The program shall ensure that adequate radiation protection is provided to permit access and occupancy of the CRE under design basis accident (DBA) conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the accident. The program shall include the following elements:
: a.      The definition of the CRE and the CRE boundary.
: b.      Requirements for maintaining the CRE boundary in its design condition including configuration control and preventive maintenance.
: c.      Requirements for (i) determining the unfiltered air inleakage past the CRE boundary into the CRE in accordance with the testing methods and at the Frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, "Demonstrating Control Room Envelope Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision 0, May 2003, and (ii) assessing CRE habitability at the Frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, Revision 0.

Measurement, at designated locations, of the CRE pressure relative to all external areas adjacent to the CRE boundary during the pressurization mode of operation of the CRAT System, operating at a flow rate of 2025-2475 cfm, at a Frequency of 24 months. The results shall be trended and used as part of the 24 month assessment of the CRE boundary.
: e.      The quantitative limits on unfiltered air inleakage into the CRE. These limits shall be stated in a manner to allow direct comparison to the unfiltered air inleakage measured by the testing described in paragraph c. The unfiltered air inleakage limit for radiological challenges is the inleakage flow rate assumed in the licensing basis analyses of DBA consequences. Unfiltered air inleakage limits for hazardous chemicals must ensure that exposure of CRE occupants to these hazards will be within the assumptions in the licensing basis.
: f.      The provisions of TS 4.0.2 are applicable to the Frequencies for assessing CRE habitability, determining CRE unfiltered inleakage, and measuring CRE pressure and assessing the CRE boundary as required by paragraphs c and d, respectively.

Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration

LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                                   Attachment 5 Docket No. 50-220                                                                          Page 1 of 2 PROPOSED NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Description of Amendment Request: This amendment request involves the adoption of approved changes to the standard technical specifications (STS) for General Electric Plants, BWR/4 (NUREG-1433), to allow relocation of specific TS surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program. The proposed changes are described in Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Traveler, TSTF-425, Revision 3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML090850642) related to the Relocation of Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control - RITSTF Initiative 5b and are described in the Notice of Availability published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2009 (74 FR 31996).
The proposed changes are consistent with NRC-approved Industry/ TSTF Traveler, TSTF-425, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control - RITSTF Initiative 5b."
The proposed changes relocate surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP). The changes are applicable to licensees using probabilistic risk guidelines contained in NRC-approved NEI 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies," (ADAMS Accession No. 071360456).
Basis for proposed no significant hazards consideration: As required by 10 CFR 50.91 (a),
the Exelon analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration is presented below:
: 1. Do the proposed changes involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed changes relocate the specified frequencies for periodic surveillance requirements to licensee control under a new Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
Surveillance frequencies are not an initiator to any accident previously evaluated. As a result, the probability of any accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased. The systems and components required by the technical specifications for which the surveillance frequencies are relocated are still required to be operable, meet the acceptance criteria for the surveillance requirements, and be capable of performing any mitigation function assumed in the accident analysis. 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. Do the proposed changes create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?
Response: No.
No new or different accidents result from utilizing the proposed changes. The changes do not involve a physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed) or a change in the methods governing normal plant operation. In addition, the

LAR - Adoption of TSTF-425, Revision 3                                                Attachment 5 Docket No. 50-220                                                                       Page 2 of 2 changes do not impose any new or different requirements. The changes do not alter assumptions made in the safety analysis. The proposed changes are consistent with the safety analysis assumptions and current plant operating practice.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
: 3. Do the proposed changes involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety?
Response: No.
The design, operation, testing methods, and acceptance criteria for systems, structures, and components (SSCs), specified in applicable codes and standards (or alternatives approved for use by the NRC) will continue to be met as described in the plant licensing basis (including the final safety analysis report and bases to TS), since these are not affected by changes to the surveillance frequencies. Similarly, there is no impact to safety analysis acceptance criteria as described in the plant licensing basis. To evaluate a change in the relocated surveillance frequency, Exelon will perform a probabilistic risk evaluation using the guidance contained in NRC approved NEI 04-10, Rev. 1, in accordance with the TS SFCP.
NEI 04-10, Rev. 1, methodology provides reasonable acceptance guidelines and methods for evaluating the risk increase of proposed changes to surveillance frequencies consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.177.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based upon the above, Exelon concludes that the requested changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration as set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), "Issuance of Amendment."
