Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 3 (Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range), Column 3 requires one Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range channel to be OPERABLE and Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 4 (Nuclear Flux Source Range), Column 3 requires one Nuclear Flux Source Range channel to be OPERABLE. Column 6 for the requirements associated with Functional Units 3 and 4 is modified by a note, Note 3. Note 3 states that when a block condition exists, maintain normal operation. The block (bypass) condition for Functional Unit 3 is P-1O while the block (bypass) condition for Functional Unit 4 is P-6. Therefore, when the plant is operating in a condition where the block condition is satisfied and the minimum operable channels for these Functional Units do not meet the Column 3 requirements, normal operation can still be maintained. When plant operating conditions change such that the block condition is no longer satisfied, the requirements of Column 6 apply and the plant must be brought to the Hot Shutdown condition as soon as practicable. Although CTS Table 3.5-2 Functional Unit 2, Nuclear Flux Power Range - Low Setting, Column 6 does not contain this same note (Note 3), it does have a permissible bypass condition (Column 5) of P-10. ISTS does not provide this allowance. | |||

This includes stored fuel oil total particulate level and new fuel oil properties. ITS 3.8.3 ACTION B provides an ACTION if the limit of ITS SR 3.8.3.2 is not met. ITS 3.8.3 ACTION C specifies the compensatory actions for one or more DGs with stored fuel oil total particulates not within limits. ITS 3.8.3 ACTION D specifies the compensatory actions for one or more DGs with new fuel oil properties not within limits. This changes the CTS by adding property limits for new and stored diesel fuel oil and a lube oil inventory limit, Surveillance Requirements to verify the limits are being maintained, and explicit ACTIONS for when the limits are | ||

Table A - Administrative Changes Enclosure 3 ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 1.0 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),
certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).
1.0 1.0 1.0 A02 CTS 1.0 states that "The following terms are defined for uniform interpretation of the specifications." The Note for ITS Section 1.1 states "The defined terms of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these Technical Specifications and Bases." This changes the CTS by replacing the CTS 1.0 statement with a Note and adds a clarification phrase that the defined terms also apply to the Bases.
1.1 1.0 1.0 A03 CTS Section 1.0 includes the following definitions:
- SAFETY LIMITS;
- LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS;
- LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION;
- OPERATING;
- CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY;
- PROTECTION SYSTEM CHANNEL;
- LOGIC CHANNEL;
- DEGREE OF REDUNDANCY;
- PROTECTION SYSTEM;
- SOURCE CHECK;
- REACTOR CRITICAL;
- REFUELING OPERATION;
- REPORTABLE EVENT;
- MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC;
- SITE BOUNDARY; and
- UNRESTRICTED AREA.
The ITS does not use this terminology and the ITS Section 1.1 does not contain these terms in the ITS.
1.1 1.0 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 1.0 A04 The CTS 1.0.e definition of OPERABLE-OPERABILITY requires a system or component to be capable of performing its "intended" function and all necessary support systems to also be capable of performing their "intended" function. The ITS Section 1.1 definition of OPERABLE-OPERABILITY requires the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to be capable of performing the "specified safety" function(s), and requires all necessary support systems that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component, or device to perform its "specified safety" function(s) to also be capable of performing their related support functions. This changes the CTS by altering the requirements to be able to perform "intended" functions to a requirement to be able to perform "specified safety" functions.
1.1 1.0 1.0 A05 The CTS 1.0.e definition of OPERABLE-OPERABILITY requires that all necessary normal and emergency electrical power sources be capable of performing their related support function for the system or component to be OPERABLE. The ITS Section 1.1 definition of OPERABLE-OPERABILITY will replace the phrase "normal and emergency electrical power sources" with "normal or emergency electrical power." This changes the CTS definition of OPERABLE-OPERABILITY by allowing a device to be considered OPERABLE with either normal or emergency power capable of performing their related support function.
1.1 1.0.e Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 1.0 A06 CTS 1.0.i.2 defines a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST as "injecting a simulated signal into the channel as close to the primary sensor as practicable to verify that it is OPERABLE, including alarm and/or trip initiating action." ITS Section 1.1 renames the definition to CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT), and defines it as "the injection of a simulated or actual signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify OPERABILITY of all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY. The COT shall include adjustm ents, as necessary, of the required alarm, interlock, and trip setpoints required for channel OPERABILITY such that the setpoints are within the necessary range and accuracy. The COT may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps." The addition of use of an actual signal is discussed in DOC L01. This changes the CTS by stating that the COT shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the devices in the channel so that the setpoints are within the required range and accuracy, changes the example list of devices contained in the definition, and states that the test may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps.
- The CTS definition states that the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST shall verify that the channel is OPERABLE "including alarm and/or trip initiating action." The ITS states that the COT shall verify OPERABILITY of "all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY."
- The ITS states "The COT shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the required alarm, interlock, and trip setpoints required for channel OPERABILITY such that the setpoints are within the necessary range and accuracy."
The ITS states "The COT may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps." 1.1 1.0.i.2 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 1.0 A07 CTS 1.0.i.3 defines a CHANNEL CALIBRATION as "the adjustment of channel output as necessary, such that it responds with acceptable range and accuracy to known values of the parameter that the channel monitors. Calibration shall encompass the entire channel, including alarm and/or trip, and shall be deemed to include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST." ITS defines a CHANNEL CALIBRATION as "the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameter that the channel monitors. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY. Calibration of instrument channels with resistance temperature detector (RTD) thermocouple sensors may consist of an inplace qualitative assessment of sensor behavior and normal calibration of the remaining adjustable devices in the channel.
The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps." This results in a number of changes
to the CTS.
- The CTS definition states, "calibration shall encompass the entire channel, including alarm and/or trip." The ITS states, "The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY."
- The CTS states that the CHANNEL CALIBRATION "shall be deemed to include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST." The ITS does not include this statement.
- The ITS adds the statement, "Calibration of instrument channels with resistance temperature detector (RTD) or thermocouple sensors may consist of an inplace qualitative assessment of sensor behavior and normal calibration of the remaining adjustable devices in the channel." The purpose of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION is to adjust the channel output so that the channel responds within the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameters that the channel monitors. 1.1 1.0.i.3 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 1.0 A08 CTS 1.0.j describes operating conditions as REFUELING, COLD SHUTDOWN, INTERMEDIATE SHUTDOWN, HOT SHUTDOWN, HOT STANDBY, and OPERATING. ITS defines the reactor operating conditions in Table 1.1-1 as MODE
1 (Power Operation), MODE 2 (Startup), MODE 3 (Hot Standby), MODE 4 (Hot Shutdown), MODE 5 (Cold Shutdown), and MODE 6 (Refueling). This changes the CTS by reformatting the definitions and names for reactor operating conditions.
Other changes associated with adopting the ITS MODES are discussed in DOCs A09, M01, and LA01.
1.1 Table 1.1-1 1.0.j 1.0 A09 CTS 1.0.j, MODES, is revised. The corresponding table in ITS Section 1.1 is Table 1.1-1, MODES. The changes to the CTS are as follows:
- The CTS 1.0.j condition "REACTIVITY" is expressed in units of k/k. ITS Table 1.1-1 Reactivity Condition is expressed in units of k eff.
- The CTS 1.0.j Coolant Temp for HOT STANDBY and OPERATING is changed from ~T oper to "NA" (not applicable) in ITS Table 1.1-1.
- The CTS 1.0.j, REFUELING limit on Coolant Temp (< 140°F) is removed. In ITS Table 1.1-1, the MODE 6 average reactor coolant temperature limit is specified as "NA" (not applicable).
- CTS 1.0.j Reactivity condition for INTERMEDIATE SHUTDOWN and HOT SHUTDOWN (as shown in Note 1) is having the required SHUTDOWN MARGIN as specified in the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR). ITS Table 1.1-1 requires the Reactivity Condition of MODES 3 and 4 to be keff <0.99.
- The Fission Power % in CTS 1.0.j for REFUELING, COLD SHUTDOWN, INTERMEDIATE SHUTDOWN, and HOT SHUTDOWN is specified as ~0. ITS Table 1.1-1 reflects "NA" as the % RATED THERMAL POWER for Refueling, Cold Shutdown, Hot Shutdown, and Hot Standby MODES (MODES 6, 5, 4, and 3, respectively).
- The CTS 1.0.l phrase in the definition of REFUELING OPERATION "when the vessel head is unbolted or removed" is incorporated into ITS Table 1.1-1 as Note c. Note c states "One or more reactor vessel head closure bolts less than fully tensioned."
- CTS 1.0.j Fission Power break point for OPERATING and HOT STANDBY is changed from 2% to 5% in ITS Table 1.1-1 for MODES 1 and 2.
1.1 Table 1.1-1 1.0.i 1.0.j Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 1.0 A09 (continued) This change can be administrative (if either the Applicability of an ITS and CTS Specification includes both MODES 1 and 2 or if the ITS Applicability is MODE 1
and the CTS Applicability is 5% RTP or higher), more restrictive (if the ITS Applicability includes MODE 2 but not MODE 1 and the CTS Applicability is specified as < 5% RTPor lower), or less restrictive (if the ITS Applicability includes MODE 1 but not MODE 2 and the CTS Applicability is specified as > 2%
RTP). Therefore, the change will be evaluated at each occurrence where only one of the two MODES is included in a CTS Applicability and DOC with the appropriate classification (A, M, or L) will be written if required. Therefore, this change to the MODE Table is acceptable.
- The CTS 1.0.l phrase in the definition of REFUELING OPERATION "when the vessel head is unbolted or removed" is incorporated into ITS Table 1.1-1 as Note c. Note c states "One or more reactor vessel head closure bolts less than fully tensioned."
- ITS Table 1.1-1 contains a new Note b, which applies to MODES 4 and 5. Note b states "All reactor vessel head closure bolts fully tensioned." This Note is the opposite of CTS 1.0.l statement concerning REFUELING OPERATION described above. And ITS Table 1.1-1 Note c.
- CTS 1.0.j uses the condition FISSION POWER %. ITS Table 1.1-1 uses the condition % RATED THERMAL POWER and includes Note a, which states that decay heat is excluded.
- The CTS 1.0.j condition of Reactivity for OPERATING and HOT STANDBY specifies < 0.25% k/k. ITS Table 1.1-1 specifies a Reactivity (in k ef f) of > 0.99. 1.1 Table 1.1-1 1.0.i 1.0.j 1.0 A010 CTS 1.0.m defines RATED POWER as "RAT ED POWER is the steady-state reactor core output of 1772 MWt." ITS 1.1 defines RATED THERMAL POWER (RTP) as "RTP shall be a total reactor core heat transfer rate to the reactor coolant of 1772 MWt." 1.1 1.0.m 1.0 A011 CTS 1.0.i.5 provides a definition of FREQUENCY NOTATION and includes CTS Table TS 1.0-1, which lists these notations. The ITS will not contain this information in Section 1.1, but will state the requirements in each Surveillance. 1.1 1.0.i.5 Table TS 1.0-1 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 1.0 A012 ITS Section 1.1 provides the following definitions:
- ACTIONS;
- ACTUATION LOGIC TEST;
- AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD);
- DOSE EQUIVALENT XE-133;
- MODE;
- PHYSICS TESTS;
- STAGGERED TEST BASIS;
- THERMAL POWER; and
- TRIP ACTUATING DEVICE OPERATIONAL TEST (TADOT).
1.1 NA 1.0 A013 ITS Sections 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 contain information that is not in the CTS. This change to the CTS adds explanatory information on the ITS usage that is not applicable to the CTS. The added sections are:
- Section 1.2 - Logical Connectors Section 1.2 provides specific examples of the logical connectors "AND" and "OR" and the numbering sequence associated with their use.

1.2, 1.3, 1.4 NA 1.0 A014 CTS 1.0.s includes the definition of IMMEDIATELY. It states "When Immediately is used as a completion time in an LCO, the required action should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner." The ITS includes Section 1.3, "Completion Times," which describes the meaning of the term "immediately" when used as a Completion Time. It states "When "immediately" is used, the Required Action should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner." This changes the CTS by moving the definition of "Immediately" to ITS 1.3 as a description of when "immediately" is used as a Completion Time.

In addition, CTS 1.0.p contains a table that gives a dose conversion factor for various isotopes (I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134, I-135). ITS 1.1 defines DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131, in part, as "The determination of DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 shall be performed using ICRP-30, 1979, Supplement to Part 1, Page 192 - 212, Table titled, "Committed Dose Equivalent in Target Organs or Tissues per Intake of Unit Activity." The ITS 1.1 definition for DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 does not include this table. This changes the CTS by providing more detail of the specific ICRP reference.

CTS Table 4.1-2 Sampling Test 2 footnote (3) states that the boron concentration test is required in all plant modes. ITS 3.1.1 is applicable in MODE 2 with k eff < 1.0 and in MODES 3, 4, and 5. This changes the CTS by specifically stating that the applicability is in MODE 2 with k eff < 1.0 and in MODES 3, 4, and 5. The change in Applicability for MODE 1 and MODE 2 with k eff 1.0 is discussed in DOC L01. In MODE 6, the reactor head is detensioned or removed, so a reactor startup cannot occur. In addition, ITS 3.9.1 provides the MODE 6 boron concentration limits. 3.1.1 Applicability 3.10.a 3.1.2 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).

The lowest plant condition required by the CTS Actions (CTS 3.10.f.2.D) is HOT SHUTDOWN (ITS equivalent MODE 3). ITS 3.1.7 requires similar ACTIONS, but specifically states in the LCO that the Individual Rod Position Indication (IRPI)

This changes the CTS by stating the specific Limiting Conditions for Operability (LCO) and the specific MODE of Applicability. 3.1.7 Applicability 3.10.f 3.1.7 A03 CTS 3.10.f.4 provides the Actions if one demand position indicator per bank for one or more banks is inoperable.

Under similar conditions, ITS 3.1.7 Required Action C.1.2 requires a verification that the most withdrawn rod and the least withdrawn rod of the affected bank are within the required rod alignment limits of LCO 3.1.4, "Rod Group Alignment Limits." This changes the CTS by not specifying the actual rod alignment limits in this Action, but referencing the applicable LCO where the limits are controlled. 3.1.7 ACTION C 3.10.f.4, 3.10.f.4.A.2) 3.1.7 A04 CTS 3.10.f.5 states that if a rod cluster control assembly having a rod position indicator channel out of service is found to be misaligned when performing 3.10.f.1.A, then 3.10.e will be applied. ITS 3.1.7 does not contain the statement. This changes the CTS by not including the statement that if a rod cluster control assembly having a rod position indicator channel out of service is found to be misaligned, then 3.10.e will be applied.

CTS Table TS 3.5-2, Functional Units 2, Nuclear Flux Power Range, states the minimum OPERABLE channel requirement is 3, except as modified by Note (1). ITS LCO 3.1.8 includes an allowance to reduce the required number of channels for ITS LCO 3.3.1, "RPS Instrumentation," Functions 2 (Power Range Neutron Flux), 3 (Power Range Neutron Flux Rate), 6 (Overtemperature T), and 16.d (Power Range Neutron Flux, P-10) from "4" to "3" during PHYSICS TESTS.

LCO 3.1.8 3.1.f.3, 3.10.d.3, 3.10.e 3.1.8 A03 CTS 3.1.f.3 states that the Moderator Temperature Coefficient requirement specified in the COLR may be suspended during the performance of LOW POWER PHYSICS TESTING. CTS 3.10.d.3 states that the Rod Insertion Limits do not apply during the performance of PHYSICS TESTS. CTS 3.10.e states that the Rod Misalignment Limitations do not apply during the performance of PHYSICS TESTS. ITS 3.1.8 is applicable "During PHYSICS TESTS initiated in MODE 2." This changes the CTS such that the Specification is applicable in MODE 2 only when a PHYSICS TEST is initiated. 3.1.8 Applicability 3.1.f.3 3.2.1 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).

()Z F N Q limits are not met, only requires the unit to reduce reactor power to 5% RTP. ITS 3.2.2 requires the FQ(Z) limits to be met in MODE 1, with no exception for low power physics tests. This changes the CTS by clearly stating the Applicability of the
()Z F N Q limits to be consistent with the actions. 3.2.1 Applicability 3.10.b.1.A 3.2.1 A03 CTS 3.10.b.4 provides the Surveillance Requirement for periodically verifying

()Z F N Q equilibrium relationship is within limits (i.e., the
()Z F C Q limit), does not include this specific allowance. CTS 3.10.b.6 provides the Surveillance Requirement for periodically verifying
()Z F N Q transient relationship is within limit and includes a similar allowance for a 25% grace period. ITS SR 3.2.1.2, which confirms the
()Z F N Q transient relationship is within limit (i.e., the

ITS SR 3.2.1.1 and SR 3.2.1.2 require similar Surveillances, except both SRs are modified by a Note to the Surveillance Requirements Table which states that during power escalation at the beginning of each cycle, THERMAL POWER may be increased until an equilibrium power level has been achieved, at which a power distribution map is obtained.

However, CTS 3.10.b.2.B, which provides the actions when the N H F limits are not met, only requires the unit to reduce reactor power to 5% RTP. ITS 3.2.2 requires the N H F limits to be met in MODE 1, with no exception for low power physics tests. This changes the CTS by clearly stating the Applicability of the N H F limits to be consistent with the actions. 3.2.2 Applicability3.10.b.1, 3.10.b.1.B, 3.10.b.2.B Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.2.2 A03 When N H F is exceeding its limit, CTS 3.10.b.2.A.i requires that within 4 hours0.167 days <br />0.0238 weeks <br />0.00548 months <br />, either restoring N H F to within its limit or reducing thermal power to < 50% RTP. ITS 3.2.2 does not state the requirement to restore N H F to within its limit, but includes the other compensatory Required Action to take within 4 hours0.167 days <br />0.0238 weeks <br />0.00548 months <br /> (i.e., reduce THERMAL POWER to < 50% RTP). This changes the CTS by not explicitly stating the requirement to restore N H F to within its limit.

ITS 3.2.2 Required Action A.4 contains the same requirements. However, ITS 3.2.2 Required Action A.4 is modified by a Note which states "THERMAL POWER does not have to be reduced to comply with this Required Action." This modifies the CTS by adding a Note stating that THERMAL POWER does not have to be reduced to comply with the Required Action.
3.2.2 Required Action A.2 Note 3.10.b.2.C 3.2.2 A05 CTS 3.10.b.2.C states that with N H F exceeding its limit "Identify and correct the cause of the out-of-limit condition prior to increasing thermal power above the reduced thermal power limit required by action A and/or B, above." ITS 3.2.2 does not include this requirement. This changes the CTS by eliminating the statement that the cause of the out-of-limit condition must be identified and corrected prior to increasing power.

3.2.4 3.10.c 3.2.4 A02 CTS 3.10.c provides actions to be taken if the QPTR is not within limits (i.e., > 1.02), but does not provide an actual LCO type of statement or an Applicability statement. Furthermore, CTS 3.10.c.1 and CTS 3.10.c.3 states that the actions are not required during Physics Tests. If the QPTR is not restored to 1.02 as required by CTS 3.10.c.1, then CTS 3.10.c.2 requires the unit to reduce power to 50% RTP. Thus, the effective Applicability for the QPTR limit is when the reactor is > 50% RTP except during a Physics Test. ITS 3.2.4 requires the QPTR to be 1.02 in MODE 1 with THERMAL POWER > 50% RTP. 3.2.4 Applicability 3.10.c, 3.10.c.1, 3.10.c.2 3.2.4 A03 When the QPTR is exceeding its limit, CTS 3.10.c.1 requires that within 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br /> either "Eliminate the tilt" (i.e., restore the QPTR to within limit) or restrict maximum core power level 2% for every 1% of indicated power tilt ratio > 1.0. ITS 3.2.4 does not contain a specific requirement to restore the QPTR to within its limit, but includes the other compensatory Required Action to take within 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br /> (i.e., reduce
THERMAL POWER 3% from RTP for each 1% of QPTR > 1.00 - Note: See Discussion of Change M01 for change from 2% to 3%). This changes the CTS by not explicitly stating the requirement to restore the QPTR to within its limit.

ITS 3.3.1 ACTIONS includes a Note that allows separate condition entry for each Function. In addition, due to the manner in which the titles of ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Functions 10, 11.a, 11.b, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 17 are presented, a separate condition entry is allowed within a Function as follows: a.

This modifies the CTS by providing a specific allowance to enter the Action for each inoperable RPS Instrumentation Function and for certain Functions on a loop, steam generator, or train basis.

Additionally, the Notes for Table TS 3.5-2 contain a table that pertains to the RPS Permissives and Interlocks. This Note table contains a column titles "Coincident," which describes the coincidence logic needed for each permissive/interlock. ITS LCO 3.3.1 requires the RPS Instrumentation to be OPERABLE, and includes only one column in Table 3.3.1-1 titled "REQUIRED CHANNELS." This changes the CTS by changing the title of the MINIMUM OPERABLE CHANNELS" and "Coincidence" columns to "REQUIRED CHANNELS." In addition, the P-7 channel description has been changed to 1 per train.
3.3.1 REQUIRED CHANNELS Table TS 3.5-2 3.3.1 A04 CTS Table TS 3.5-2 Column 6 specifies the "OPERATOR ACTION IF CONDITIONS OF COLUMN 3 OR 4 CANNOT BE MET." CTS Table TS 3.5-2 Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN for Functional Units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17. Based on the CTS Table TS 3.5-2 requirement to maintain HOT SHUTDOWN, the Mode of Applicability would be considered OPERATING and HOT STANDBY for Functional Units 1(Manual), 2, (Nuclear Flux Power Range (High Setting, Positive Setting, and Negative Setting)), 5 (Overtemperature T), 6 (Overpower T), 8 (High Pressurizer Pressure), 12 (Lo-Lo Steam Generator Water Level), 16 (Steam Flow/Feedwater Flow Mismatch), and 17 (Reactor Trip Breaker (RTB) and (Independently Test Shunt and Undervoltage Trip Attachments). For Functional Unit 2 (Nuclear Flux Power Range (Low Setting)), the Mode of Applicability is OPERATING below the P-10 interlock and HOT STANDBY for the Nuclear Flux Power Range (Low Setting) because Column 5 of Table TS 3.5-2 lists the permissible bypass condition as P-10. This means that the Nuclear Flux Power Range (Low Setting) channels are blocked above the P-10 setting. With the P-10 Setting Limit of < 7.8% RATED POWER, Nuclear Flux Power Range (Low Setting) would be required to be OPERABLE in the OPERATING MODE below the P-10 limit and in HOT STANDBY. For Functional Unit 3 (Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range), the MODE of Applicability is OPERATING below the P-10 interlock and HOT STANDBY because Column 5 of Table TS 3.5-2 lists the permissible bypass condition as P-10. This means that the Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range channels are blocked above the P-10 setting. With the P-10 Setting Limit of < 7.8% RATED POWER, Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range would be required to be OPERABLE in the OPERATING MODE below the P-10 limit. Furthermore, since the Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range are not required until above the P-6 setting, then the HOT ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 1, 2.a, 2.b, 3.a, 3.b, 4, 6, 7, 8.b, 14, 15, 17, and 18 Applicability Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 1, Functional Unit 2, Functional Unit 3, Functional Unit 4, Functional Unit 5, Functional Unit 6, Functional Unit 8, Functional Unit 9, Functional Unit 10, Functional Unit 12, Functional Unit 13, Functional Unit 14, Functional Unit 16, Functional Unit 17 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.1 A04 (Continued) STANDBY requirement would only be above the P-6 setting. Therefore, the MODE of Applicability, for the Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range, would be OPERATING below the P-10 interlock and HOT STANDBY above the P-6 interlock. For Functional Unit 4 (Nuclear Source Range), the Mode of Applicability is HOT STANDBY because Column 5 of Table TS 3.5-2 lists the permissible bypass condition as P-6. This means that the Nuclear Source Range channels are blocked when above the P-6 setting. With the P-6 Setting Limit of > 10
-5% RATED POWER, the Nuclear Source Range would not be required to be OPERABLE above HOT STANDBY. For Functional Unit 7 (Low Pressurizer Pressure), 9 (Pressurizer High Water Level), 13 (Undervoltage 4-kV), and 14 (Underfrequency 4-kV), the Mode of Applicability is OPERATING because Column 5 of Table TS 3.5-2 lists the permissible bypass condition as P-7. This means that the Low Pressurizer Pressure channel, the Pressurizer High Water Level, the Undervoltage 4-kV, and the Underfrequency 4-kV channels are blocked when below the P-7 setting. With the P-7 Setting Limit of > 12.2% RATED POWER, the Low Pressurizer Pressure, the Pressurizer High Water Level, the Undervoltage 4-kV, and the Underfrequency 4-kV would not be required to be OPERABLE below the OPERATING MODE. For Functional Unit 10 (Low Flow in One Loop and Low Flow Both Loops), the Mode of Applicability is OPERATING because Column 5 lists the permissible bypass condition for Low Flow in One Loop as P-8 and for Low Flow in Two Loops as P-7. For the Low Flow in One Loop, this means that the channels are blocked when below the P-8 setting. With the P-8 Setting Limit of < 10% RATED POWER, Low Flow in One Loop channel would not be required to be OPERABLE below the OPERATING MODE. For the Low Flow in Two Loops, this means that the channels are blocked when below the P-7 setting. With the P-7 Setting Limit of > 12.2% RATED POWER, the channel would not be required to be OPERABLE below the OPERATING MODE. ITS LCO 3.3.1 requires the RPS instrumentation in Table 3.3.1-1 to be OPERABLE. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 1, 2.a, 2.b, 3.a, 3.b, 4, 6, 7, 8.b, 14, 15, 17, and 18 state that the APPLICABLE MODE OR OTHER SPECIFIED
CONDITIONS is MODE 1 and 2. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 2.b (Power Range Neutron Flux - Low) states that the APPLICABLE MODE OR OTHER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS is MODE 1 below the P-10 (Power Range Neutron Flux) interlock and MODE 2. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 4 states that the APPLICABLE MODE OR ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 1, 2.a, 2.b, 3.a, 3.b, 4, 6, 7, 8.b, 14, 15, 17, and 18 Applicability Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 1, Functional Unit 2, Functional Unit 3, Functional Unit 4, Functional Unit 5, Functional Unit 6, Functional Unit 8, Functional Unit 9, Functional Unit 10, Functional Unit 12, Functional Unit 13, Functional Unit 14, Functional Unit 16, Functional Unit 17 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.1 A04 (Continued) OTHER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS is MODE 1 below the P-10 (Power Range Neutron Flux) and MODE 2 above the P-6 (Intermediate Range Neutron Flux) Interlocks.

ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 8.a, 9, 12, and 13 state that the APPLICABLE MODE OR OTHER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS is MODE 1 above the P-7 (Low Power Reactor Trip Block) interlock.
ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 10 states that the APPLICABLE MODE OR OTHER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS is MODE 1 above the P-8 (Power Range Neutron Flux) interlock. This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the MODES of Applicability for each Functional Unit.
ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 1, 2.a, 2.b, 3.a, 3.b, 4, 6, 7, 8.b, 14, 15, 17, and 18 Applicability Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 1, Functional Unit 2, Functional Unit 3, Functional Unit 4, Functional Unit 5, Functional Unit 6, Functional Unit 8, Functional Unit 9, Functional Unit 10, Functional Unit 12, Functional Unit 13, Functional Unit 14, Functional Unit 16, Functional Unit 17 3.3.1 A05 CTS Table 3.5-2 includes Channels, Coincidence, and setting limits for P-6, P-7, P-8, P-10, and P-13. However, no specific Applicability requirements are provided.
ITS Table 3.3.1-1 specifies the Applicable MODES or other specified conditions associated with the P-6, P-7, P-8, P-10, and P-13 interlocks (Functions 16.a, 16.b, 16.c, 16.d, and 16.e). This changes the CTS by adding specific applicable MODES or other specified conditions associated with P-6, P-7, P-8, P-10, and P-13 interlocks. Table 3.3.1-1 Function 16.a, 16.b, 16.c, and 16.d Applicability Table TS 3.5-2 3.3.1 A06 CTS 4.1.a requires calibration, testing, and checking of protective instrumentation channels and testing of logic channels shall be performed as specified in Table TS 4.1-1.

Table TS 4.1-3 requires performance of a TEST at the frequencies shown on Table TS 4.1-3. Table TS 4.1-1 requires performance of a TEST at the frequencies shown on Table TS 4.1-1. ITS 3.3.1 requires the performance of either a CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT), a TRIP ACTUATING DEVICE OPERATIONAL TEST (TADOT), or, in the case of the Automatic Trip Logic, an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST. This changes the CTS by changing the TEST requirements to a COT, a TADOT, or an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST.

None Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 2, Channel Description 3 3.3.1 A08 Note (c) to CTS Table TS 4.1-1, Channel Description 2 and 3 in the Remarks Section states that the Channel Check is required in all plant modes. For ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 4, ITS SR 3.3.1.1, the equivalent CHANNEL CHECK requirement, is only applicable in MODE 1 below the P-10 (Power Range Neutron Flux) interlocks
and in MODE 2 above the P-6 (Intermediate Range Neutron Flux) interlocks consistent with the Applicability of the LCO. For ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 5, ITS SR 3.3.1.1, the equivalent CHANNEL CHECK requirement is only applicable in MODE 2 below the P-6 (Intermediate Range Neutron Flux) interlocks which is also consistent with the Applicable of the LCO. This changes the CTS by deleting this specific Note.

For ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Functions 6 and 7, ITS SR 3.3.1.1, the equivalent CHANNEL CHECK
requirement, is only applicable in MODES 1 and 2 consistent with the Applicability of the LCO. This changes the CTS by deleting this specific Note.
SR 3.3.1.1 Table 3.3.1-1 Function 6, Function 7 Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 4 3.3.1 A10 CTS Table TS 3.5-2 Notes contains a table listing the permissive/interlock. In the Table, the inputs to P-7 are listed but no title is given. The inputs for P-7 are from the Power Range Neutron Flux (P-10) and the Turbine Impulse Pressure (P-13) interlock. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 16.b describes the P-7 interlock as the Low Power Reactor Trips Block. Additionally, it describes the P-13 input as the Turbine Impulse Pressure. This changes the CTS by stating the titles for the P-7 and P-13 interlocks. Table 3.3.1-1 Function 16.b Table TS 3.5-2 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.1 A11 CTS Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 14 provides the requirements for the Underfrequency 4-kV Bus reactor trip function. When the minimum number of Underfrequency 4-kV Bus channels are not maintained OPERABLE (Column 3),
Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN. Furthermore, CTS Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 14 contains a Note that states an underfrequency on the 4-kV buses trips the Reactor Coolant Pump breakers, which in turn trips the reactor when power is above P-7. Based on the above CTS Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 14 and Note 4 requirements, the Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker Position reactor trip (i.e., one channel per RCP breaker) is required to be OPERABLE above the P-7 interlock to support CTS Table 3.5-2 Functional Unit 14. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 11.a (Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) Breaker Position - Single Loop) and Function 11.b (Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) Breaker Position - Two Loops) each require one RCP Breaker Position channel per RCP to be OPERABLE. The Applicability for these channel requirements is MODE 1 above the P-8 interlock for Function 11.a and MODE 1 above the P-7 interlock for Function 11.b. This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the RCP Breaker Position requirements, including the number of required channels and the Applicability. Table 3.3.1-1 Function 11.a, Function 11.b Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 14 3.3.1 A12 CTS Table TS 4.1-1 specifies the applicable testing requirements for the Protective System Logic Channels. Although the CTS does not provide a specific Applicability nor a specific number of Required Channels, all RPS Protective System Logic Channels are required to be OPERABLE when the associated Reactor Protection System (RPS) channels are required. Therefore, the Applicability of the Protective System Logic Channels is OPERATING and HOT STANDBY, which covers the Applicability of all of the RPS channels. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 19 (Automatic Trip Logic) requires two trains of the Automatic Trip Logic to be OPERABLE in MODES 1 and 2. This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the requirements for the Protective System Logic Channels, including the number of required trains and the Applicability. The change that adds the Applicability of MODES 3, 4, and 5 when the Rod Control System is capable of rod withdrawal or when one or more rods are not fully inserted Applicability is covered by DOC M12.

Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.1 A13 Note (b) to CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 2 (Nuclear Intermediate Range) states in the Remarks Sections to "log level" during the performance of the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 4 (Intermediate Range Neutron Flux) requires performance of a COT (SR 3.3.1.8), but does not contain a specific requirement to "log level." This changes the CTS by deleting the specific requirement to "log level" during the performance of the COT.
The purpose of Note (b) to CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 2 is to ensure that the Nuclear Intermediate Range instrumentation is OPERABLE. This change is acceptable because this requirement duplicates the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Section XVII (Quality Assurance Records) to maintain records of activities affecting quality, including the results of tests (i.e., Technical Specification Surveillances). Compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B is required in the KPS Operating License, which is adequate to ensure appropriate data is taken and maintained. The details of the regulations within the Technical Specifications are repetitious and unnecessary. Therefore, retaining the requirement to perform the associated Surveillance and eliminating the details from Technical Specification that are found in 10 CFR 50 Appendix B is considered a presentation preference. As such, this change is considered an administrative change. None Table TS 4.1-1 Note (b)
Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.1 A14 CTS Table TS 4.1-1, "Minimum Frequencies for Checks, Calibrations and Test of Instrument Channels, "Channel Description 26, "Protective System Logic Channel Testing," requires monthly testing of the Protective System Logic Channels. CTS 1.0.h.4, "Protection System," states that the Protection System consists of both the Reactor Protection System (RPS) and the Engineered Safety Features System (ESFS). Two logic matrices of the RPS Logic Matrix and one function listed in CTS Table 3.5-2 are not included in this monthly RPS Protective System Logic Channel Test. The two logic matrices not included are 1) the Safety Injection - Reactor Trip matrix and 2) the Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker- Reactor Trip matrix. The function listed in CTS Table 3.5-2 that is not required to be tested in the RPS Logic Test is Function 14, Underfrequency 4-kV Bus. CTS Table TS 4.1-3, "Minimum Frequencies for Equipment Tests," Equipment Test lb, Reactor Coolant Pump Breakers-Open-Reactor Trip, and CTS 4.6.a.2 test these features each refueling outage or on a refueling interval. ITS SR 3.3.1.5, Note 3; SR 3.3.1.16; and SR 3.8.1.16 ensure these features are tested on the same frequency, 18-months. Because the CTS testing of these features on an 18-month frequency (refueling), this change clarifies the current testing requirements and is considered administrative.
Other CTS testing requirements cover Kewaunee Protection System Logic channel matrices for the Safety Injection-Reactor Trip and the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) Breaker-Reactor Trip features. The RCP breaker position testing is controlled by CTS Table 4.1-3, "Minimum Frequencies for Equipment Tests," Equipment Test 1b, Reactor Coolant Pump Breakers-Open- Reactor Trip. Equipment Test 1b requires testing of this function for operability each refueling outage. The Safety Injection-Reactor Trip testing is controlled by CTS surveillance 4.6.a.2, where a test of the automatic start of each diesel generator, load shedding, and restoration to operation of particular vital equipment, initiated by a simulated loss of normal a-c station service power supplies together with a simulated safety injection signal is performed. CTS Table TS 3.5-2, Function 14, does not have a matrix in the Protection System channel but provides a trip of the RCPs, as stated, by Note 4, included with CTS Table TS 3.5-2, Function 14.
3.3.1 Table TS 4.1-1, CTS 1.0.h.4, Table 3.5-2, Table TS 4.1-3, CTS 4.6.a.2, surveillance 4.6.a.2 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.1 A14 (continued) The design of Kewaunee Power Station is such that if the Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker for the Reactor Protection system logic channel were tested at-power, a plant trip would occur. The Safety Injection - Reactor Trip feature cannot be tested at power because Kewaunee's design will not allow cycling of the slave relays at power. Additionally, the Underfrequency 4-kV Bus circuit trips the RCP, which then generates a reactor trip signal. Therefore, Kewaunee's design and CTS support testing these functions on an 18-month frequency.
3.3.1 Table TS 4.1-1, CTS 1.0.h.4, Table 3.5-2, Table TS 4.1-3, CTS 4.6.a.2, surveillance 4.6.a.2 3.3.1 A15 CTS 3.5.c states, in part, that when the number of channels of a subsystem fall below the limits given in Table TS 3.5-2 Column 3, operation shall be limited according to the requirement shown in Column 6 as soon as practicable. Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 3 (Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range), Column 3 requires one Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range channel to be OPERABLE and Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 4 (Nuclear Flux Source Range), Column 3 requires one Nuclear Flux Source Range channel to be OPERABLE. Column 6 for the requirements associated with Functional Units 3 and 4 is modified by a note, Note 3. Note 3 states that when a block condition exists, maintain normal operation. The block (bypass) condition for Functional Unit 3 is P-1O while the block (bypass) condition for Functional Unit 4 is P-6. Therefore, when the plant is operating in a condition where the block condition is satisfied and the minimum operable channels for these Functional Units do not meet the Column 3 requirements, normal operation can still be maintained. When plant operating conditions change such that the block condition is no longer satisfied, the requirements of Column 6 apply and the plant must be brought to the Hot Shutdown condition as soon as practicable. Although CTS Table 3.5-2 Functional Unit 2, Nuclear Flux Power Range - Low Setting, Column 6 does not contain this same note (Note 3), it does have a permissible bypass condition (Column 5) of P-10. ISTS does not provide this allowance.
Therefore, the Note in SR 3.3.1.5 is being modified to not only include P-7 (Function 16.b) but to also include Function 2.b, 4, and 5 for Function 19. This changes ITS to include similar requirements that are in CTS. These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS. 3.3.1 CTS 3.5.c, Table TS 3.5-2,

ITS 3.3.2 ACTIONS provide the compensatory actions for inoperable ESFAS instrumentation. ITS 3.3.2 ACTIONS include a Note that allows separate condition entry for each Function. In addition, due to the manner in which the titles for Function 1.e, 2.c, 4.d, 4.e, 5.b, 6.b, 6.c, 6.d, and 6.e are presented, a separate condition entry is allowed within a Function as follows: a. For Function 1.e (Safety Injection - Steam Line Pressure - Low) on a per steam line basis; b. For Function 2.c (Containment Spray - Containment Pressure - High High) on a per set basis; c. For Function 4.d (Steam Line Isolation - High Steam Flow) on a per steam line basis; d.

This modifies the CTS by providing a specific allowance to enter the Action for each inoperable ESFAS Instrumentation Function and for certain Functions on a per steam line, per set, per loop, per steam generator, per bus and per pump basis.

Column 6 of CTS Tables TS 3.5-2, TS 3.5-3, and TS 3.5-4 specifies the actions to take when the number of channels for a particular Functional Unit is less than the Column 3 requirements. ITS LCO 3.3.2 requires the ESFAS Instrumentation to be OPERABLE, and includes only one column in Table 3.3.2-1 titled "REQUIRED CHANNELS." This changes the CTS by changing the title of the MINIMUM OPERABLE CHANNELS" column to "REQUIRED CHANNELS."

CTS Table TS 3.5-2 Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN for Functional Unit 13. Based on the CTS Table TS 3.5-2 requirement to maintain HOT SHUTDOWN, the Mode of Applicability would be considered OPERATING and HOT STANDBY. CTS Table TS 3.5-3 Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN for Functional Unit 4.b. Based on the CTS Table TS 3.5-3 requirement to maintain HOT SHUTDOWN, the Mode of Applicability would be considered OPERATING and HOT STANDBY. ITS LCO 3.3.2 requires the ESFAS instrumentation in Table 3.3.2-1 to be OPERABLE. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.d and 6.e states that the APPLICABLE MODE OR OTHER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS is MODE 1 and 2.
This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the MODES of Applicability for each Functional Unit.

Table TS 4.1-1 requires performance of a TEST at the frequencies shown on Table TS 4.1-1. ITS 3.3.2 requires the performance of either a CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) (SR 3.3.2.4) or a TRIP ACTUATING DEVICE OPERATIONAL TEST (TADOT) (SR 3.3.2.3 or SR 3.3.2.7). This changes the CTS by changing the TEST requirements to a COT or a TADOT.

CTS Table TS 3.5-3 Column 6 requires that the unit be placed in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) for Functional Units 1.a and 3.a of Table TS 3.5-3 and Functional Unit 1.a of Table TS 3.5-4. The HOT SHUTDOWN requirement in Column 6 contains a footnote, footnote (1) for Functional Unit 1.a of Table TS 3.5-3 and Functional Unit 1.a of Table TS 3.5-4, which states if minimum conditions are not met within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> (i.e., restoration of at least the minimum number of OPERABLE channels required in Column 3), steps shall be taken to place the plant in a COLD SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 5) condition. In addition, the HOT SHUTDOWN requirement in Column 6 contains a footnote, footnote (3) for Functional Unit 3.a of Table TS 3.5-3, which states if minimum conditions are not met within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> (i.e., restoration of at least the minimum number of OPERABLE channels required in Column 3), steps shall be taken to place the plant in a COLD SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 5) condition. Based on the CTS requirement to be in COLD SHUTDOWN if minimum conditions are not met within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br />, the Mode of Applicability would be considered OPERATING (equivalent to ITS MODE 1), HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2), HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3), and INTERMEDIATE SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 4). ITS LCO 3.3.2 requires the ESFAS instrumentation in Table 3.3.2-1 to be OPERABLE. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 1.a, 2.a, and 3.c state that the APPLICABLE MODE OR OTHER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS is MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.

ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.e (Safety Injection - Steam Line Pressure-Low) requires three channels per steam line to be OPERABLE. This changes the CTS by identifying the number of required channels on a per steam line basis. Discussion of Change M03 discusses the change in the number of required channels.

Tavg-Low Low) and Function 4.e (Steam Line Isolation - High High Steam Flow Coincident with Safety Injection) indicates the number of steam flow REQUIRED CHANNELS to be 2 per steam line for each Function. This changes the CTS by modifying the descriptions in the "NO. OF CHANNELS" column. Table 3.3.2-1 Function 4.d, Function 4.e Table TS 3.5-4 Functional Unit 2.a, Functional Unit 2.b 3.3.2 A11 CTS Table 3.5-4 Functional Unit 4.a (Main Feedwater Isolation - Hi-Hi Steam Generator Level) Column 1 ("NO. OF CHANNELS") indicates there are 3 channels for this Function. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 5.b (Feedwater Isolation - SG Water Level- High High) indicates the number of REQUIRED CHANNELS to be 3 per SG.
This changes the CTS by adding a per SG identifier to the "MINIMUM OPERABLE CHANNELS" column. Table 3.3.2-1 Function 5.b Table TS 3.5-4 Functional Unit 4.a Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.2 A12 CTS 3.3.e.1.A.3 requires the turbine building service water header isolation logic to be OPERABLE as part of the OPERABILITY requirements for the Service Water System. The CTS does not provide any explicit Actions to take when the logic is inoperable. Thus, the actions for the associated Service Water train, CTS 3.3.e.2, would be taken. ITS 3.3.2 ACTION J provides the actions for the Turbine Building Service Water Header Isolation logic. When one or more trains (For Function 7.a) or channels (for Function 7.b) are inoperable, the associated Service Water train must be immediately declared inoperable. This would then require entering the appropriate Conditions and Required Actions of ITS 3.7.8, "Service Water System." This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the Required Action and Completion Time for inoperable trains or channels of the Turbine Building Service Water Header
Isolation logic. Table 3.3.2-1 Function 7.a, Function 7.b 3.3.e.1.A.3 3.3.e.2 3.3.2 A13 CTS Table TS 4.1-1 specifies the applicable testing requirements for the Protective System Logic Channels. Although the CTS does not provide a specific Applicability nor a specific number of Required Channels, all ESFAS Protective System Logic Channels are required to be OPERABLE when any of the associated ESFAS channels are required. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 1.b, 2.b, 3.b, 4.b, 5.a, and 6.a require two trains of the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays to be OPERABLE. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 1.b, 2.b, and 3.b are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 4.b is required to
be OPERABLE in MODE 1 and MODES 2 and 3 except when all MSIVs are closed and deactivated. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 5.a is required to be OPERABLE in MODE 1 and MODES 2 and 3 except when all MFIVs, MFRVs, and associated bypass valves are closed and de-activated or isolated by a closed manual valve. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.a is required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3. This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the requirements for the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays. Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.b, Function 2.b, Function 3.b, Function 4.b, Function 5.a, Function 6.a Table TS 4.1-1 3.3.2 A14 CTS 3.3.e.1.A.3 requires the turbine building service water header isolation logic to be OPERABLE. However, no specific channel description of the logic is provided.
ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 7 covers this logic. Function 7.a requires two trains of the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays to be OPERABLE. Function 7.b requires two channels of the Service Water Pressure - Low to be OPERABLE.
This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the logic requirements. Table 3.3.2-1 Function 7.a, Function 7.b 3.3.e.1.A.3 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.2 A15 CTS Table TS 4.1-1, Channel Description 26, Protective System Logic Channel Testing requires testing of the Engineered Safety Features Logic Channel. Current testing either verifies the Hi Steam Flow logic is in the required state when steam flow is > the Hi Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint or performs the logic testing when steam flow is < the Hi Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint. ISTS Table 3.3.2-1, Function 4b, Steam Line Isolation - Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays, requires SR 3.3.2.2 to be performed. SR 3.3.2.2 is an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST that is required to be performed every 92 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. At KPS, the Hi Steam Flow matrix of Function 4.d cannot be tested when steam flow is > the Hi Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint, because the Hi Steam Flow relays cannot be cycled due to plant design. Therefore, a Note has been added for this Function that states "For Function 4.b, when steam flow is > the Hi Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint, the Hi Steam Flow logic portion of this SR consists only of verifying the Hi Steam Flow logic is in its required state. However, all applicable requirements of an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST are required to be performed within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> of reducing steam flow < the Hi Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint." This will allow Hi Steam Flow matrix of Steam Line Isolation circuit to not be performed during this SR when steam flow is > the High Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint, except for verifying that the interlock is in the required state, but still require the SR to be met. Furthermore, anytime power is reduced below the Hi Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint, then all requirements of an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST would either have to be current (i.e., performed within the last 92 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS) or be performed within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> after the power reduction to below the Hi Steam Flow nominal trip setpoint. In addition, prior to entering the Applicability of Function 4.b (which is MODE 1, 2,and 3 with the MSIVs open or activated), the SR would also have to be current. This ensures the Steam Line Isolation automatic actuation logic and actuation relays are properly tested prior to entering MODE 1, Modes 2, or 3 with a MSIV open or activated, and when in MODE 1, 2, or 3 with steam flow < the Hi Stream Flow nominal trip setpoint for an extended time. These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS and are consistent with current plant design. Table 3.3.2-1, Function 4b CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.3 A01 In the conversion of CTS to the plant specific ITS, certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).
3.3.3 3.5, Table 3.5-6, 3.11, 4.1, Table TS 4.1-1 3.3.3 A02 CTS Table TS 3.5-6 includes both "REQUIRED TOTAL NO. OF CHANNELS" and "MINIMUM CHANNELS OPERABLE" columns. The number of channels specified in the two columns is different, with the "MINIMUM CHANNELS OPERABLE" column specifying fewer channels. The purpose of the two columns is to specify when Table TS 3.5-6 Notes (1), (2), and (4) are to be entered. ITS Table 3.3.3-1 only has a single column, the "REQUIRED CHANNELS" column. This column includes the same number of channels as in the CTS "REQUIRED TOTAL NO. OF CHANNELS" column. ITS 3.3.3 ACTIONS A, B, C, D, and E provide similar actions for when required channels are inoperable (either one or two or more channels), similar to the Actions provided in CTS Table TS 3.5-6 Notes (1), (2), and (4). This changes the CTS by including only one column specifying the number of channels required to be OPERABLE, with the Condi tions in the ITS ACTIONS covering the appropriate conditions under which actions are required with inoperable channels. Table 3.3.3-1 Table TS 3.5-6 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.3 A03 CTS Table TS 3.5-6, Functional Unit 10, Core Exit Thermocouples, Note (5) states "Refer also to TS 3.11.c and TS 3.11.d." CTS 3.11 is the Core Surveillance Instrumentation that will not be included in the ITS. ISTS 3.3.3, Functions 14 thru 17 are the core exit thermocouples; however, there is no reference in ITS 3.3.3 to a separate Specification for the core exit thermocouples. However the requirements of CTS 3.11.c, as applicable, are included in ITS 3.3.3. This changes the CTS by deleting this reference to a CTS Section that is not included in the ITS. Table 3.3.3-1 Function 14, Function 15, Function 16, Function 17 Table TS 3.5-6 Functional Unit 10 3.3.3 A04 CTS 3.5.e and Table TS 3.5-6 Notes (1), (2), and (4) provide the compensatory actions to take when a PAM Instrumentation channel is inoperable. ITS 3.3.3 ACTIONS includes a Note that allows separate condition entry for each Function. In addition, since the required channels for Function 12 are on a per steam generator basis, a separate condition entry is allowed within this Function for each steam generator. This modifies the CTS by providing a specific allowance to enter the Action for each inoperable PAM Instrumentation Function and for a certain Function on a steam generator basis.
3.3.3 Table 3.3.3-1 Function 12 3.5.e Table 3.5-6 3.3.3 A05 CTS Table TS 3.5-6 No. 9 (Reactor Vessel Level Indication), requires, in part, two channels to be OPERABLE. ITS 3.3.3 Table 3.3.3-1 Function 6 requires, in part, two channels to be OPERABLE when the Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP) are on and two channels to be OPERABLE when the RCPs are off. This changes the CTS by requiring 4 channels to be OPERABLE in the ITS for the Reactor Vessel Level Indication. Table 3.3.3-1 Function 6 Table 3.5-6 No. 9 3.3.3 A06 CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 39 requires the performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST of the Containment Water Level (Wide Range) channel each refueling cycle. ITS SR 3.3.3.3 requires the performance of CHANNEL CALIBRATION every 18 months for Functions other than Function 20 of ITS Table 3.3.3-1. The Containment Sump Water Level (Wide Range) is Function 7 of ITS Table 3.3.3-3. This changes the CTS by requiring the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION in ITS instead of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST in CTS.

ITS 3.3.5 ACTIONS provide the compensatory actions for inoperable LOOP DG start instrumentation. ITS 3.3.5 ACTIONS include a Note that allows a separate Condition entry for each Function. This modifies the CTS by providing a specific allowance to enter the Action for each inoperable LOOP DG Start Instrumentation Function.
3.3.5 3.5.b, 3.5.c, 3.5.d, Table TS 3.5-5 3.3.5 A03 CTS Table TS 4.1-1, Channel Descriptions 8.b and 8.c require that the 4-KV Voltage (Loss of Voltage) and 4-KV Voltage (Degraded Voltage) safeguards bus channels, respectively, be demonstrated OPERABLE by performance of a monthly TEST (i.e.,
a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST). ISTS SR 3.3.5.2 (ITS SR 3.3.5.1) requires the performance of a TRIP ACTUATING DEVICE OPERATIONAL TEST (TADOT) once per 31 days. This changes the CTS by changing the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST requirements to a TADOT. SR 3.3.5.1 Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 8.b, Channel Description 8.c 3.3.6 A01 In the conversion of CTS to the plant specific ITS, certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).

ITS 3.3.6 ACTIONS provide the compensatory actions for Containment Purge and Vent Isolation Instrumentation. The ITS 3.3.6 ACTIONS include a Note that allows separate Condition entry for each Function. This modifies the CTS by providing a specific allowance to enter the Action for each inoperable Containment Purge and Vent Isolation Instrumentation Function.

ITS SR 3.3.6.1, the equivalent CHANNEL CHECK requirement, is only applicable in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, and during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment. This changes the CTS by deleting this specific Note.

ITS SR 3.3.6.3 requires the performance of a CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) for the Radiation Monitoring System channels. This changes the CTS by replacing the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST requirements with the COT requirements. SR 3.3.6.3 Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 19 3.3.6 A05 Column 3 of CTS Table TS 3.5-4 specifies the "MINIMUM OPERABLE CHANNELS" associated with each Functional Unit and CTS 3.5.2.c specifies the actions to take when the number of channels for a particular Functional Unit is less than the Column 3 requirements. ITS LCO 3.3.6 requires the Containment Purge and Vent Isolation Instrumentation to be OPERABLE, and includes only one column in Table 3.3.6-1 titled "REQUIRED CHANNELS." This changes the CTS by changing the title of the MINIMUM OPERABLE CHANNELS" column to "REQUIRED CHANNELS." Table 3.3.6-1 3.5.c Table TS 3.5-4 3.3.6 A06 Column 6 of CTS Table TS 3.5-4 contains a footnote (2) that states the detectors that provide a high radiation signal for the initiation of a Containment Purge and Vent Isolation are required for Reactor Coolant System leak detection as referenced in CTS 3.1.d.5. ITS 3.3.6 does not contain this footnote, or a reference to CTS 3.1.d.5. This changes the CTS by deleting the reference footnote.

3.3.7 3.12, 4.1, Table TS 4.1-1 3.3.7 A02 The CTS does not contain a specific LCO statement for the CRPAR System Actuation Instrumentation or any ACTIONS to take when the CRPAR System Actuation Instrumentation is inoperable. Thus, when any required channels are inoperable, the Actions of the CRPAR System, which the instruments support, must be taken. ITS LCO 3.3.7 and Table 3.3.7-1 provide specific requirements to ensure the CRPAR System Actuation Instrumentation is OPERABLE to support the actuation of the CRPAR System. ITS 3.3.7 ACTIONS (as described in DOCs M01, M02, and L01) provide compensatory actions for inoperable CRPAR System Actuation Instrumentation. This modifies the CTS by providing a specific LCO for the CRPAR System Actuation Instrumentati on, providing specific ACTIONS to take as compensatory actions when the required CRPAR System Actuation Instrumentation is inoperable (as described in DOCs M01, M02, and L01).

ITS SR 3.3.7.2 requires the performance of a CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) of the Radiation Monitoring channels. This changes the CTS by changing the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST requirement to a COT. SR 3.3.7.2 Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 19 3.3.7 A05 CTS 3.12.a does not identify that a Safety Injection (SI) Signal starts the CRPAR System. The SI signal requirements are currently covered by CTS 3.5 and Table TS 3.5-3. ITS Table 3.3.7-1 Function 3 identifies that an SI signal starts the CRPAR System. However, the Table states to refer to LCO 3.3.2, "ESFAS Instrumentation,"
Function 1 for all initiation functions and requirements. This includes appropriate ACTIONS and Surveillance Requirements. This changes the CTS by identifying that an SI signal is sent to the CRPAR System and affects operation of the CRPAR System.

ITS SR 3.4.1.4 requires measurement of the RCS total flow rate and is modified by a Note which states, "Not required to be performed until 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> after 90% RTP." This changes the CTS by explicitly specifying the time required to perform the Surveillance after entering MODE 1 conditions. That is, it defines how long the plant has to get the parameters constant.SR 3.4.1.4 3.10.m.2 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.4.3 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),

This restriction is included in ITS 3.4.7 as LCO Note 3; however, the statement "with one or more of the RCS cold leg temperatures < 200°F" is not included in the Note. However, the ITS 3.4.7 Applicability is MO DE 5 (which is essentially equivalent to the CTS wording) with RCS loops filled.

ITS 3.4.8, which also includes similar RHR train OPERABILITY requirements, is applicable in MODE 5 with the RCS loops not filled. RHR requirements in MODE 5 with the RCS loops filled are provided in LCO 3.4.7 and the MODE 6 RHR requirements are provided in LCO 3.9.5 and LCO 3.9.6.

option to restore the valves to OPERABLE status. None 3.1.a.5.A.1, 3.1.a.5.A.2, 3.1.a.5.A.3 3.4.11 A05 CTS 3.1.a.5.A.4 specifies the compensator y actions for one inoperable block valve. CTS 3.1.a.5.A.5 specifies the compensatory actions for two inoperable block valves. ITS 3.4.11 ACTION C specifies the Requi red Actions for one inoperable block valve and ITS 3.4.11 ACTION F specifies the Required Actions for two inoperable block valves. ITS 3.4.11 ACTION C Required Actions are preceded by a Note that states that the specified Required Actions (C.1 and C.2) do not apply when the block valve is inoperable solely as a result of complying with Required Action B.2 or E.2 and ITS 3.4.11 ACTION F Required Action is preceded by a Note that states that the specified Required Action (F.1) does not apply when the block valve is inoperable solely as a result of complying with Required Action B.2 or E.2. ITS 3.4.11 Required Actions B.2 and E.2 require the removal of power from the applicable block valve when a PORV is inoperable. This changes the CTS by adding the clarification Note that the Required Action to place the PORV in manual control (ITS 3.4.11 Required Action C.1) and to restore a block valve to OPERABLE status (ITS 3.4.11 Required Actions C.2 and F.1) are not applicable when the block valve is inoperable solely due to complying with the ACTIONS for an inoperable PORV. 3.4.11 ACTION C, 3.4.11 ACTION B, 3.4.11 ACTION F 3.1.a.5.A.4, 3.1.a.5.A.5 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.4.11 A06 CTS Table 4.1-3 Equipment Test 13 requires an operability test of the Pressurizer PORVs every REFUELING outage. CTS Table 4.1-3 Equipment Test 14 requires an operability test of the Pressurizer PORV Block Valves quarterly, with the exception that the Pressurizer PORV Block Valves do not require testing when the valve is administratively closed. As stated in CTS 3.1.a.5.A, the PORVs and associated block valves are only required to be OPERABLE in the OPERATING (equivalent to ITS MODE 1) and HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2)
MODES. Thus, these Surveillances are only required to be performed in the same MODES. ITS 3.4.11 is Applicable in MODES 1, 2, and 3 (as described in Discussion of Change M01), thus the ITS Surveillances are also normally required in MODES 1, 2, and 3. ITS SR 3.4.11.1 requires performance of a complete cycle of each block valve, but Note 2 allows entry into and operation in MODE 3 prior to performing the Surveillance Requirement. ITS SR 3.4.11.2 requires performance of a complete cycle of each PORV, but the Note allows entry into and operation in MODE 3 prior to performing the Surveillance Requirement. This changes the CTS by more clearly stating in the individual Surveillances that testing is not required to be performed in MODE 3. 3.4.11 Applicability, SR 3.4.11.1 3.1.a.5.A, Table 4.1-3 Equipment Test 14 3.4.12 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).

the RCS cold leg temperatures are 200ºF and the reactor vessel head is installed. ITS 3.4.12 requires the low temperature over pressure protection (LTOP) System to be OPERABLE in MODE 5 and MODE 6 whenever the reactor vessel head is on.
This changes the CTS by clearly stating the MODES of Applicability, consistent with the ITS terminology. LCO 3.4.12 3.1.b.4 3.4.13 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),

ITS 3.4.14 ACTIONS A and B also state the appropriate compensatory actions under the same condition; however, ITS 3.4.14 ACTIONS Notes 1 and 2 have been added. ITS 3.4.14 ACTIONS Note 1 allows separate Condition entry for each RCS PIV flow path.
ITS 3.4.14 ACTIONS Note 2 states "Enter applicable Conditions and Required Actions for systems made inoperable by an inoperable RCS PIV." This changes the CTS by explicitly stating that the Actions are to be taken separately for each inoperable RCS PIV flow path and by explicitly stating that the Conditions and Required Actions for systems made inoperable by an inoperable RCS PIV must be
entered. 3.4.14 ACTION A, 3.4.14 ACTION B 3.1.a.4.B, 3.1.a.4.C 3.4.14 A03 CTS 4.5.b.2.F requires testing the RHR System valve interlocks once per operating cycle. In the ITS, this Surveillance has been included as ITS SR 3.4.14.2. In addition, a new LCO has been added which requires the Residual Heat Removal System interlock function to be OPERABLE. This changes the CTS by including the Residual Heat Removal System interlock Surveillance Requirement with the RCS PIV leakage limits and adding a new LCO for the interlock function.

This changes the CTS by specifically stating to enter LCO 3.0.3, which is the equivalent requirement in the ITS, in this System Specification. Changes to CTS 3.0.c are discussed in Section 3.0. 3.4.15 ACTION D 3.1.d.4 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.4.15 A03 Note (b) to CTS Table TS 4.1-1, Item 19 in the Remarks Section states that the Channel Check is required in all plant modes. ITS SR 3.4.15.1, the equivalent CHANNEL CHECK requirement, is only applicable in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, consistent with the Applicability of the LCO. This changes the CTS by deleting this specific Note. SR 3.4.15.1 Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 19 3.4.15 A04 CTS 4.1.b requires the equipment tests to be performed as specified in Table TS 4.1-3. CTS Table TS 4.1-3 Equipment Test 8 requires a weekly OPERABILITY test on the RCS Leakage Detection. The test is modified by Note 1, which states that following maintenance on equipment that could affect the operation of the equipment, tests should be performed to verify OPERABILITY. The Weekly Frequency is modified by a Note (Note 4) that states the Frequency is applicable when the reactor is at power or in the HOT SHUTDOWN condition. The ITS does not include this requirement. This changes the CTS by deleting this weekly OPERABILITY check of the RCS Leak Detection Instrumentation.

ITS 3.4.16 Required Action A.1 essentially requires this same analysis, however the explicit statement to perform the isotopic analysis for iodine "until restored to within its limits" has been deleted.
This changes the CTS by deleting the explicit statement to perform the isotopic analysis for iodine until the limits are met. 3.4.16 ACTION A 3.1.c.2.C, Table TS 4.1-2 Sampling Test 1.f 3.4.16 A03 CTS 3.1.c.3 provides a cross-reference to CTS 6.9.a.2.D, the Annual Reporting Requirements.

CTS 1.0.g provides the definition of CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY, and includes as part of CTS 1.0.g.3 that at least one door in both the personnel and the emergency air locks is properly closed. Furthermore, CTS 4.4.b requires air lock leakage rate testing to be performed, with the leakage rate limits provided in CTS 6.20. Thus, it can be concluded that the containment air locks are part of CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY. ITS 3.6.2 states "Two containment air locks shall be OPERABLE." This changes the CTS by placing the Containment air locks OPERABILITY requirements in a separate Technical Specification.
LCO 3.6.2, including Applicability 3.6.a 3.6.2 A03 CTS 4.4.b requires air lock leakage rate testing in accordance with the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. ITS SR 3.6.2.1 requires a similar test, but is modified by Note 1, which states "An inoperable air lock door does not invalidate the previous successful performance of the overall air lock leakage test."

ITS 3.6.3 requires the containment isolation valves to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. This changes the CTS by clearly specifying when the containment isolation valves are required to be OPERABLE, in lieu of referencing the applicability of another specification. 3.6.3 Applicability 3.6.b.1 3.6.3 A03 CTS 3.6.b.3 does not specifically require Conditions to be entered for systems supported by inoperable containment isolation valves. OPERABILITY of supported systems is addressed through the definition of OPERABILITY for each system, and appropriate LCO Actions are taken. ITS 3.6.3 ACTIONS Note 3 states "Enter applicable Conditions and Required Actions for system(s) made inoperable by containment isolation valves." ITS LCO 3.0.6 provides an exception to ITS LCO 3.0.2, stating "When a supported system LCO is not met solely due to a support system LCO not being met, the Conditions and Required Actions associated with this supported system are not required to be entered." This changes the CTS by adding a specific statement to require supported system Conditions and Required Actions be entered, whereas in the CTS this would be done without the Note.

ITS 3.6.3 ACTIONS Note 4 states "Enter applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.6.1, "Containment," when isolation valve leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate acceptance criteria." This changes the CTS by explicit ly stating an existing requirement that the Containment Specification Actions be taken when the Containment LCO is not met as a result of containment isolation valve leakage exceeding limits.

SR 3.6.6.5, SR 3.6.6.6 4.5.a.2.c 3.6.7 A01 3.6.7 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS). 3.6.7 3.3.c.2, 4.5.b.2.D 3.6.7 A02 CTS 4.5.b.2.D requires the spray additive tank valves shall be tested during each major REFUELING outage. ITS SR 3.6.7.4 requires verification that each spray additive automatic valve in the flow path that is not locked sealed or otherwise secured in position, actuates to the correct position on an actual or simulated actuation signal. This changes the CTS by changing the statement "major REFUELING outage" to 18 months. SR 3.6.7.4 4.5.b.2.D 3.6.8 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),
certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS). 3.6.8 3.6.a, 1.0.g.2, 4.4.c.4 3.6.8 A02 CTS 3.6.a states, in part, that "CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY shall not be violated." CTS 1.0.g provides the definition of CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY, and includes as part of CTS 1.0.g.2 that the shield building equipment hatches must be closed. CTS 5.2.a.2 also states that the Containment System includes a concrete shield building (CTS 5.2.a.2.B). Thus, it can be concluded that the shield building is part of CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY. ITS 3.6.8 states "The shield building shall be OPERABLE." This changes the CTS by placing the Shield Building OPERABILITY requirements in a separate Technical Specification. See also ITS 3.6.1 and ITS 3.6.2 for further discussions of the CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY.

CTS 5.2.a.2 states that the Containment System includes the steel reactor containment vessel (CTS 5.2.a.2.A). CTS 5.2.b.1 further states that the reactor containment vessel is designed to withstand an external pressure 0.8 psi greater than the internal pressure. Furthermore, CTS Section 4.4, which provides the Surveillances for the Containment Systems, includes a Surveillance on the Containment Vacuum Breaker System (CTS 4.4.e). Since the vacuum relief lines and associated valves are the design feature that ensures this pressure limitation is met, it can be concluded that the vacuum relief lines are part of CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY. ITS 3.6.9 states "Two vacuum relief lines shall be OPERABLE." This changes the CTS by placing the vacuum relief lines OPERABILITY requirements in a separate Technical Specification. See also ITS
3.6.1 and ITS 3.6.2 for further discussion of CONTAINMENT SYSTEM INTEGRITY.
LCO 3.6.9, including Applicability 3.6.a 3.6.9 A03 CTS 4.4.e requires, in part, that the power-operated valve (i.e., the butterfly valve) in each vent line to be tested during each refueling outage. ITS SR 3.6.9.1 requires a similar test once each refueling outage. This changes the CTS by changing the Frequency from each refueling outage to 18 months. SR 3.6.9.1 4.4.e 3.6.10 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),

The ITS 3.6.10 Applicability for the SBVS is MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. This changes the CTS by stating the specific MODE of
Applicability. 3.6.10 Applicability 3.6.c Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.6.10 A03 CTS 4.4.c.1.b requires demonstration of automatic initiation of each train of the system at least once per operating cycle or once every 18 months, whichever occurs first. ITS SR 3.6.10.3 requires verification that each SBVS train actuates on an actual or simulated actuation signal every 18 months. This changes the CTS by deleting the "once per operating cycle" terminology. The change discussion regarding the use of an actual or simulated test signal is located in DOC L01.
SR 3.6.10.3 4.4.c.1.b 3.6.10 A04 CTS 4.4.c.1.a, CTS 4.4.c.2, and CTS 4.4.c.3 provide filter testing requirements for the SBVS. ITS SR 3.6.10.2 requires performance of SBVS filter testing in accordance with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP) at a frequency in accordance with the VFTP. CTS 4.4.c does not include a VFTP, but the requirements that make up the VFTP are being moved to ITS 5.5. This changes the CTS by requiring testing in accordance with the VFTP, whose requirements are being moved to ITS 5.5. SR 3.6.10.2 4.4.c.1.a, 4.4.c.2, 4.4.c.3 3.7.1 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),

3.7.1 3.4.a 3.7.1 A02 CTS 3.4.a.1 states that the Reactor Coolant System shall not be heated to > 350ºF (ITS MODE 3) unless a minimum of two MSSVs per steam generator are OPERABLE. CTS 3.4.a.2 states that the reactor shall not be made critical (ITS MODES 1 and 2) unless five MSSVs per steam generator are OPERABLE. ITS LCO 3.7.1 requires five MSSVs per steam generator to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3. In addition, when less then five MSSVs per steam generator are OPERABLE but at least two MSSVs per steam generator are OPERABLE, ITS 3.7.1 ACTION B only requires a power reduction to as low as 19% RTP. Thus, as long as two MSSVs per steam generator are OPERABLE, the unit is allowed to remain at a THERMAL POWER of at least 19% RTP. This changes the CTS by combining both current LCO requirements into a single requirement, and placing the unit in an ACTION (in lieu of meeting the LCO statement) when less than five but at least two MSSVs per steam generator are OPERABLE. The change from MODE 3 to 19%
RTP is discussed in DOC L01.

LCO 3.8.3 Table TS 4.1-3 Equipment Test 9 footnote (5) 3.8.4 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS). 3.8.4 3.7.a, 3.7.a.6, 3.7.b, 3.7.b.3 3.8.6 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS). 3.8.6 3.7.a, 3.7.a.6, 3.7.b, 3.7.b.3, 4.6.b 3.8.6 A02 CTS 3.7.a.6, in part, requires the batteries to be OPERABLE. CTS 4.6.b provides Surveillance Requirements for various battery parameters. Thus, the battery parameter requirements are covered by CTS 3.7.a.6. ITS 3.8.6 requires the battery parameters to be within limits. The requirements for the batteries are included in ITS 3.8.4 and ITS 3.8.5. This changes the CTS by dividing the requirements for the batteries and the requirements for battery parameters into separate Specifications. LCO 3.8.6 3.7.a.6 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.8.6 A03 CTS 4.6.b.4 requires performance of a "load test" (i.e., a "performance discharge test" in the ITS) during the "first REFUELING." ITS SR 3.8.6.6 requires the battery capacity to be verified, however it does not explicitly include a Frequency of "during the first Refueling." This changes the CTS by deleting a specific time for performing the Surveillance. SR 3.8.6.6 4.6.b.4 3.8.9 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS). 3.8.9 3.7.a, 3.7.a.3, 3.7.a.4, 3.7.a.5, 3.7.a.6, 3.7.b, 3.7.b.6 3.8.9 A02 CTS 3.7.a.6 requires both station batteries and both DC systems to be OPERABLE, however the CTS does not explicitly require the DC distribution buses to be OPERABLE. ITS LCO 3.8.9, in part, requires the Train A and B DC electrical power distribution subsystems to be OPERABLE. This changes the CTS by specifying the requirements for DC distribution buses. LCO 3.8.9 3.7.a.6 3.8.9 A03 CTS 3.7.b.6 allows a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> restoration time when a 4160V or 480 V ESF bus is inoperable, provided the redundant bus "and its loads" remain OPERABLE. Under similar conditions (inoperable AC buses), the ITS 3.8.9 ACTIONS do not specifically include a provision that the loads on the redundant buses must be OPERABLE.
This changes the CTS by deleting a specific requirement that loads on redundant buses be OPERABLE when an AC bus is inoperable.
None 3.7.b.6 3.8.10 A01 The CTS does not contain any specific OPERABILITY requirements for the Distribution Systems during shutdown conditions. However, the CTS 1.0.e definition of OPERABLE requires that, for all equipment required to be OPERABLE, "all necessary attendant ... normal and emergency electrical power sources ... that are required for the system or component to perform its required function is also capable of performing their related support function." ITS LCO 3.8.10 requires the necessary portions of the AC, DC, and AC instrument bus electrical power distribution subsystem to be OPERABLE to support equipment required to be OPERABLE in MODES 5 and 6 and during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies. If one or more required electrical power distribution subsystems are inoperable, ITS 3.8.10 ACTION A must be entered and the associated supported required features(s) must be declared inoperable or certain activities must be suspended (movement of irradiated fuel assemblies and operations involving positive reactivity additions that could result in loss of required SDM or boron concentration), action must be initiated to restore the inoperable distribution subsystem, and the required residual heat removal LCO 3.8.10, including Applicability, 3.8.10 ACTION A 1.0.e Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.8.10 A01 (continued) subsystem(s) must be declared inoperable and not in operation.

CTS Table TS 4.1-2 Sample Test 2 footnote (6) states that a reactor coolant boron concentration sample does not have to be taken when the core is completely unloaded. ITS 3.9.1 is applicable in MODE 6. This changes the CTS by specifically stating that the Applicability is in MODE 6. In addition, ITS 3.1.1, "SHUTDOWN MARGIN (SDM)" discusses the remaining plant
modes. 3.9.1 Applicability Table TS 4.1-2 Sampling Test 2 footnotes (3) and (6) 3.9.1 A03 CTS 5.4.a.3, in part, requires the spent fuel pool boron concentration to match that used in the reactor refueling cavity and refueling canal during REFUELING OPERATIONS. CTS 3.8.a.5 provides the boron concentration limit for the RCS during fuel movement, and states that the limit is specified in the COLR. ITS 3.9.1, in part, requires the boron concentration of the spent fuel pool to be within the limit specified in the COLR during MODE 6 operations (which encompass refueling operations), but a NOTE to the Applicability limits this requirement to only when the spent fuel pool is connected to the RCS. This changes the CTS by clearly stating when the spent fuel pool limit is to be maintained consistent with the RCS limit. 3.9.1 Applicability 5.4.a.3 3.9.2 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),

ITS LCO 3.9.2 requires two source range neutron flux monitors to be OPERABLE and one source range audible count rate circuit to be OPERABLE. This changes the CTS by requiring the source range neutron flux monitors to be OPERABLE, instead of only "continuously monitored" or "in service".

Under similar conditions, ITS 3.9.2 ACTION A only requires the suspension of positive reactivity additions. This changes the CTS by deleting the requirements to initiate action to restore the neutron monitors to the required conditions. 3.9.2 ACTION A 3.8.a.3, 3.8.b 3.9.2 A04 Remark (c) to CTS Table TS 4.1-1, Channel Description 3, requires the Channel Check of the nuclear source range instrumentation to be performed in all plant modes. ITS 3.9.2 is only Applicable in MODE 6. This changes the CTS by only including the MODE 6 requirement in this Specification. ITS 3.3.1 will describe changes to this requirement in all other plant modes. 3.9.2 Applicability Table 4.1-1 Channel Description 3, Remark (c) 3.9.3 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),

ITS 3.9.3, which also includes similar RHR train OPERABILITY requirements, is applicable in MODE 6 with the water level 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange. RHR requirements in MODE 5 are provided in LCO 3.4.7 and LCO 3.4.8 and the MODE 6 RHR requirements with the water level < 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange are provided in LCO 3.9.4. This changes the CTS by splitting these RHR requirements into four separate LCOs. 3.9.3 3.1.a.2.B 3.9.3 A03 CTS 3.1.a.2.B requires two RHR trains to be OPERABLE. However, it provides an allowance that one RHR train may be inoperable for maintenance when in the REFUELING MODE (ITS MODE 6) with the water level 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange. This essentially means that when in the REFUELING MODE with the water level 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, only one RHR train is required to be OPERABLE. ITS 3.9.3, in part, specifies that one RHR loop shall be OPERABLE in MODE 6 with the water level 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange. This changes the CTS by clearly stating the LCO requirement when in MODE 6 with the water level 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange.

Furthermore, when a required RHR pump is inoperable, CTS 3.8.b, in part, essentially requires immediate suspension of loading fuel in the reactor. Under similar conditions, ITS 3.9.3 ACTION A requires an action similar to CTS 3.1.a.2.B.2 (Required Action A.3), and an action similar to CTS 3.8.b (Required Action A.2). This changes the CTS by including specific Required Actions applicable to the related conditions of CTS 3.1.a.2.B.2 and CTS 3.8.b. The addition of other Required Actions (A.1, A.4, A.5, and A.6) is discussed in DOC M02. 3.9.3 ACTION A 3.1.a.2.B.2, 3.8.b 3.9.3 A05 CTS 3.8.a.4 requires one RHR pump to be OPERABLE. As stated in CTS 3.8.a, this requirement is applicable during REFUELING OPERATIONS. ITS 3.9.3, which also requires an RHR loop to be OPERABLE, is applicable in MODE 6 with the water
level 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange. This changes the CTS by requiring an RHR loop to be OPERABLE at all times in MODE 6 with the water level 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, not just during REFUELING OPERATIONS. 3.9.3 Applicability 3.8.a.4 3.9.4 A01 In the In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),

Under similar conditions, ITS 3.9.4 ACTION A requires an action similar to CTS 3.1.a.2.B.2 (Required Action A.1), but also includes an additional action that can be taken. In lieu of performing ITS 3.9.4 Required Action A.1, ITS 3.9.4 Required Action A.2 requires immediate initiation of action to establish 23 ft of water above the top of the reactor vessel flange.

Under similar conditions, ITS 3.9.6 ACTION A only requires movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment to be suspended.

5.5.2 6.12 5.5 A04 CTS 4.2.a.2 specifies the testing requirements for the in-service testing of ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 pumps and valves. As part of the Surveillance Requirement however, there is no statement whether the provisions of CTS 4.0.b and 4.0.c are applicable to CTS 4.2.a.2. Additionally, CTS 4.2.a.2 states, in part, that testing shall be performed in accordance with the ASME Code of Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants, but no table providing a description of OM Code Frequency to Technical Specification Frequency is provided. ITS 5.5.6 adds specific reference to ITS SR 3.0.2 and ITS SR 3.0.3. Additionally, ITS 5.5.6 adds specific references for the Frequencies of the in-service testing activities.

As such, a general program statement has been added as ITS 5.5.9. Also, a statement of the applicability of ITS SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 is needed to clarify that the allowances for Surveillance Frequency extensions do apply (as allowed in the CTS). This changes the CTS by moving the ventilation filter testing Surveillances associated with the SBVS, ASV System, and CRPAR System to a program in ITS 5.5 and specifically stating the applicability of ITS SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 in the program. 5.5.9 3.6.c.3, 3.12.c, 4.4.c.1, 4.4.c.1.a, 4.4.c.2.a, 4.4.c.2.b, 4.4.c.2.c, 4.4.c.3, 4.4.d.1, 4.17 5.5 A06 CTS 4.4.c.1.a, CTS 4.4.c.2, and CTS 4.4.c.3 provide filter testing requirements for the SBVS.

CTS 4.4.c.1.a, 4.4.c.2.a, 4.4.c.2.b, 4.4.c.2.c, and 4.4.c.3 provide filter te sting requirements for the ASV System. CTS 4.17.a.1, 4.17.b.1, 4.17.b.2, and 4.17.b.3 provide filter testing requirements for the CRPAR System. ITS 5.5.9.d requires demonstration that the pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks for the SBVS, the ASV System, and the Control Room Post-Accident Recirculation System once every 18 months. This changes the CTS by deleting the "once per operating cycle" terminology. 5.5.9.d 4.4.c.1.a, 4.4.c.2.a, 4.4.c.2.b, 4.4.c.2.c, 4.4.c.3, 4.17.a.1, 4.17.b.1, 4.17.b.2, 4.17.b.3 5.5 A07 CTS 4.4.c.3 contains a footnote which states: In WPS letter of August 25, 1976 to Mr. Al Schwencer (NRC) from Mr. E. W. James, we relayed test results for flow distribution for tests performed in accordance with ANSI N510-1975. This standard refers to flow distribution tests performed upstream of filter assemblies. Since the test results upstream of filters were inconclusive due to high degree of turbulence, tests for flow distribution were performed downstream of filter assemblies with acceptable results (within 20%). The safety evaluation attached to Amendment 12 references our letter of August 25, 1976 and acknowledges acceptance of the test results. ITS 5.5.9.e requires, in part, that demonstration for each of the specified safety related systems that when tested at the system design flowrate (+/- 10%), the air distribution is uniform within +/- 20%.

CTS 6.20 states that the provisions of Specification 4.0.b do not apply to the test frequencies in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. ITS 5.5.14 does not include this provision. This changes the CTS by deleting the statement that the provisions of Specification 4.0.b are not applicable.

This changes the CTS by not specifically stating that the overall containment air locks leakage is part of the overall Types B and C limit. 5.5.14.d.1 6.20.c 5.6 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS). 5.6 6.9.a.4, 6.9.b.1, 6.9.b.2, 6.9.b.4 5.7 A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).
5.7 6.13 Table A - Administrative Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 5.7 A02 CTS 6.13.a applies for control of entry into high radiation areas in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem/hr but less than 1000 mrem/hr. CTS 6.13.b applies for control of entry into high radiation areas in which a major part of the body could receive a dose greater than 1000 mrem/hr and is clarified by Footnote (2) that measurement is made at 30 centimeters from the source of radioactivity. ITS 5.7.1 applies to controls for high radiation areas with dose rates not exceeding 1.0 rem/hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface penetrated by the radiation. ITS 5.7.2 applies to controls for high radiation areas with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem/hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface penetrated by the radiation, but less than 500 rads/hr at one meter from a radiation source or any surface through which radiation penetrates.
This changes the CTS by deleting the reference to a high radiation area having radiation intensity in excess of 100 mrem/hr and adds the criteria of, "at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface penetrated by the radiation" to the parameter 1000 mrem/hr. 5.7.1, 5.7.2 6.13.a, 6.13.b CTS 6.0 A01 CTS 6.9.b.3 states, in part, that special reports may be required and that the special reports are required to be submitted to the NRC. The ITS does not requires these special reports to be prepared and submitted. This changes the CTS by deleting the references to the CTS Specifications requiring special reports. Justification for disposition of each of the special report requirements is addressed by the Discussion of Change for the respective ITS or CTS Specification.

Table L - Less Restrictive Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement Change Category 1.0 L01 The CTS 1.0.i.2 definition of CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST requires the use of a "simulated" signal when performing the test. ITS Section 1.1 renames the CTS definition to CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) as discussed in DOC A06. The ITS Section 1.1 COT definition allows the use of an actual or simulated signal when performing the test. This changes the CTS by allowing the use of unplanned actuations to perform the Surveillance if sufficient information is collected to satisfy the surveillance test requirements. 1.1 1.0.i.2 NA 2.0 L01 CTS 2.2.a requires the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure not exceed 2735 psig with fuel assemblies installed in the reactor vessel.
CTS 2.2.b.2 requires that if RCS pressure of 2735 psig is exceeded during HOT SHUTDOWN, INTERMEDIATE SHUTDOWN, COLD SHUTDOWN, or REFUELING, compliance be restored within 5 minutes.
ITS 2.1.2 requires the RCS pressure be maintained 2735 psig in MODES 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. ITS 2.2.2.2 requires compliance be restored within 5 minutes if in MODE 3, 4, or 5. This changes the CTS by only requiring the RCS pressure limit be met in MODES 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, in lieu of all times when fuel assemblies are installed in the reactor vessel (i.e., deletes the requirement for compliance in REFUELING (equivalent
to ITS MODE 6)).
2.1.2, 2.2.2.2 2.2.a, 2.2.b.2 2 3.1.1. L01 CTS Table TS 4.1-2 Sampling Test 2, footnote (3) states that the boron concentration test is required in all plant modes. ITS 3.1.1 is applicable in MODE 2 with k eff < 1.0 and in MODES 3, 4, and 5. This changes CTS by not requiring the boron concentration test in MODE 1 and MODE 2 with
k ef f 1.0. ITS 3.9.1 provides the MODE 6 boron concentration limits. 3.1.1 Table TS 4.1-2 5 3.1.4 L01 CTS 3.10.i requires that if the rod position deviation monitor is inoperable, individual rod positions shall be logged at least once per eight hours and after a load change > 10% of rated power or after > 24 steps of control rod motion. ITS SR 3.1.4.1 requires verification that the individual rod positions are within the alignment limits every 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. This changes the CTS by eliminating the requirement to log the individual rod positions once per 8 hours0.333 days <br />0.0476 weeks <br />0.011 months <br /> and after a load change > 10% of rated power or after
> 24 steps of control rod motion when the Rod Position Deviation Monitor is inoperable.

Note (b) to CTS TS Table 4.1-1 Channel Description 10 requires a Rod Position Bank Counters check following rod motion in excess of 24 steps when the computer is out of service. ITS SR 3.1.4.1 requires a verification that individual rod positions are within alignment every 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. This changes the CTS by not requiring an Analog Rod Position check and a Rod Position Bank Counters check following rod motion in excess of 24 steps when the computer is out of service. SR 3.1.4.1 Table TS 4.1-1 7 3.1.4 L03 Note 1 to CTS Table TS 4.1-3 requires, in part, that the Control Rods be tested to verify OPERABILITY following maintenance on equipment that could affect the operation. ITS 3.1.4 does not include this requirement.
This changes the CTS by eliminating a post-maintenance Surveillance Requirement. None Table TS 4.1-3 5 3.1.5 L01 CTS 3.10.d.1 does not provide any explicit time to restore the shutdown rods to within their limits. As a result, LCO 3.0.c would be entered, which requires action to be initiated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, to be in HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) within the next 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, and in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) within the following 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />.
Under similar conditions, ITS 3.1.5 ACTION A provides one hour to either verify that the SDM is within the limits specified in the COLR or to initiate boration to restore the SDM to within limits and 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br /> to restore the shutdown banks to within limits. Additionally, ITS 3.1.5 ACTION B provides 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> to be in MODE 3 if any Required Action and associated Completion Time of ACTION A are not met. This changes the CTS by providing specific ACTIONS when the shutdown banks are not within the limits specified in the COLR. 3.1.5 ACTION A, 3.1.5 ACTION B 3.10.d.1 4 Table L - Less Restrictive Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement Change Category 3.1.6 L01 CTS 3.10.d.2 requires the control banks to be limited in physical insertion as specified in the COLR, but does not specifically state an applicability.
CTS 3.10.d.2.A, B, and C provide actions to be taken if the control banks insertion limits are not met. If the control bank insertion limits are not restored, then the unit must be placed in HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) within 7 hours0.292 days <br />0.0417 weeks <br />0.00959 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) within 13 hours0.542 days <br />0.0774 weeks <br />0.0178 months <br />. Thus, the effective Applicability for the control bank insertion limits is OPERATING and HOT STANDBY MODES (equivalent to ITS MODES 1 and 2). ITS 3.1.6 requires the control bank
insertion limits to be met in MODE 1 and in MODE 2 with k eff 1.0. This changes the CTS by only requiring the control bank limits to met in MODE 2 with k eff 1.0, in lieu of at all times in MODE 2. Consistent with this change in Applicability, the requirements in CTS 3.10.d.2.C to be in HOT STANDBY and HOT SHUTDOWN are changed to be in MODE 2 with
k ef f < 1.0 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />. 3.1.6 Applicability 3.10.d.2, 3.10.d.2.A, 3.10.d.2.B, 3.10.d.2.C 2 3.1.6 L02 CTS 3.10.d.2.A requires that if the control banks physical insertion limits (i.e., insertion, sequence, or overlap) are not met, then within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> initiate boration to restore control bank insertion to within limits. ITS 3.1.6 ACTION A and ACTION B contain the same requirements but allows a choice between verifying that the SDM is within the limits specified in the COLR (ITS 3.1.6 Required Actions A.1.1 and B.1.1) within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> or initiating boration to restore SDM to within limits within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> (ITS 3.1.6 Required Actions A.1.2 and B.1.2). This changes the CTS by allowing either the verification that SDM is within the limits specified in the COLR or the initiation of boration to restore the required SDM within one hour when the control banks are not within the physical insertion limits. 3.1.6 ACTION A, 3.1.6 ACTION B 3.10.d.2.A 4 Table L - Less Restrictive Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement Change Category 3.1.8 L01 CTS 3.10.f.1 (ITS 3.4.2, " RCS Minimum Temperature for Criticality") states that the reactor shall not be brought to a critical condition until the pressure-temperature state is to the right of the criticality limit line shown in Figure TS 3.1-1. ITS 3.1.8 provides an exception to LCO 3.4.2, "RCS Minimum Temperature for Criticality," provided the RCS lowest loop
average temperature is 530ºF. A Surveillance Requirement (SR 3.1.8.1) to verify the RCS lowest loop average temperature is 530ºF every 30 minutes has been added. In addition, ACTION C has been added to cover the situation when RCS lowest loop average temperature is not within limit. The Required Action is to restore RCS lowest loop average temperature to within limit within 15 minutes. If this is not met, then ACTION D requires the unit to be in MODE 3 within 15 minutes. This changes the CTS by allowing the suspension of LCO 3.4.2, "RCS Minimum Temperature for Criticality." However, it places a limitation on
the RCS lowest loop average temperature. LCO 3.1.8, SR 3.1.8.1 3.10.f.1 1 3.2.1 L01 CTS 3.10.b.6.C requires an additional Surveillance Frequency to verify the !" transient limit is within the limit specified in the COLR if the
!" transient relationship's margin to the limit decreases since the previous evaluation. ITS SR 3.2.1.2 maintains this additional Frequency as specified in the Note to the SR, but ties it to the
!" equilibrium (i.e., ()Z F C Q) relationship's margin to the limit. This changes the CTS by requiring the additional Surveillance Frequency if the
!" equilibrium relationship's margin to the limit decreases since the previous evaluation in lieu of the
!" transient relationship's margin to the limit. SR 3.2.1.2 3.10.b.6.C 7 Table L - Less Restrictive Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement Change Category 3.2.4 L01 CTS 3.10.c.2 states that with QPTR > 1.02, eliminate the tilt condition within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> or reduce power to 50% RTP. CTS 3.10.c.3.B states that when QPTR is > 1.09 due to misalignment of a rod, eliminate the tilt condition within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> or reduce power to a minimum load condition
( 30 Mwe). CTS 3.10.c.4 states that when QPTR is > 1.09 for reasons other than misalignment of a rod, the reactor shall immediately be brought to a no load condition ( 5% RTP). When the QPTR is > 1.02, ITS 3.2.4, Required Action A.2 requires the QPTR to be determined once per 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />, Required Action A.3 requires FQ(Z) and N H F to be verified to be within limits (i.e., by performing SR 3.2.1.1, SR 3.2.1.2, and SR 3.2.2.1) within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> after achieving equilibrium conditions after the power reduction and every 7 days thereafter, Required Action A.4 requires the safety analyses to be reevaluated to confirm the results are still valid for the duration of operation under this condition prior to increasing power, Required Action A.5 requires (after completion of Required Action A.4) the excore detectors to be normalized to restore QPTR within limit prior to increasing power, and Required Action A.6 requires FQ(Z) and N H F to be verified to be within limits (i.e., by performing SR 3.2.1.1, SR 3.2.1.2, and SR 3.2.2.1) within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> after achieving equilibrium condition at RTP not to exceed 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> after increasing power. In addition, for the condition of QPTR > 1.09 for reasons other than misalignment of a rod, ITS 3.2.4 Required Action A.1 requires THERMAL POWER to be reduced
> 3% from RTP for each 1% of QPTR > 1.00, similar to the CTS 3.10.c.1.B and CTS 3.10.c.3.A requirements (changed from 2% to 3% as described in DOC M01). Furthermore, ITS 3.2.4 ACTION B states that with a Required Action and associated Completion Time (of Condition A) not met, reduce THERMAL POWER to <
50% RTP within 4 hours0.167 days <br />0.0238 weeks <br />0.00548 months <br />. This changes the CTS by eliminating requirements to be <
50% RTP, minimum load condition, or no load condition within a specified time of exceeding the LCO and substituting compensatory measures in ITS 3.2.4 ACTION A, which if not met, result in a reduction in power per ITS 3.2.4 ACTION B. 3.2.4 ACTION A, 3.2.4 ACTION B 3.10.c.2, 3.10.c.4 4 Table L - Less Restrictive Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement Change Category 3.2.4 L02 CTS 3.10.j states that if one or both of the quadrant power tilt monitors are inoperable, individual upper and lower excore detector calibrated outputs and the quadrant tilt shall be logged once per shift and after a load change > 10% of rated power or after > 24 steps of control rod motion. It also states the monitors shall be set to alarm at 2% tilt ratio.
ITS SR 3.2.4.1 requires verification that QPTR is within limit every 7 days and the ITS does not include the monitor alarm setpoint. This changes the CTS by eliminating the requirement to verify QPTR more frequently when one or both QPTR alarms are inoperable. SR 3.2.4.1 3.10.j 7 3.3.1 L01 CTS 3.5.c states, in part, that when the number of channels of a subsystem fall below the limits given in Table TS 3.5-2 Column 3 operation shall be limited according to the requirement shown in Column 6 as soon as practicable. Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 3 (Nuclear Flux
Intermediate Range), Column 3 requires one Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range channel to be OPERABLE. If both of the Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range channels are inoperable, then Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 3 Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN. Since there is no required action to take when there are two Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range channels, CTS 3.0.c must be entered. CTS 3.0.c requires action to be initiated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and to be in HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) in the following 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and to be in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) in the following 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />. ITS LCO 3.3.1 requires the RPS instrumentation in Table 3.3.1-1 to be OPERABLE. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 4 requires two Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range channels to be OPERABLE. ITS 3.3.1 ACTION G provides compensatory actions to take with two Intermediate Range Neutron Flux channels inoperable and requires suspension of operations involving positive reactivity additions immediately, but allows limited plant cooldown or boron dilution provided that the change is accounted for in the calculated SDM and reduction of THERMAL POWER to < P-6 within 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br />. This changes the CTS by allowing suspension of operation involving positive reactivity additions and reduction of THERMAL POWER instead of placing the unit in HOT SHUTDOWN.

Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 17 (Reactor Trip Breaker (RTB)), Column 3 requires two RTB channels to be OPERABLE.
If one RTB channel is inoperable, then Table 3.5-2 Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN and opening of the RTBs.

CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 3 requires a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST of the Nuclear Source Range channels prior to each startup if not done the previous week. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Functions 2.b (Power Range Neutron Flux -
Low), 4 (Intermediate Range Neutron Flux), and 5 (Source Range
Neutron Flux) require performance of ITS SR 3.3.1.8. ITS SR 3.3.1.8 requires performance of COT in accordance with the Setpoint Control Program prior to reactor startup and four hours after reducing power below P-6 for source range instrumentation and twelve hours after reducing power below P-10 for power and intermediate range instrumentation and every 184 days thereafter. Additionally, the Frequency contains a Note, which states that the surveillance is only required to be performed when not performed within the previous 184 days. Additionally, the Surveillance Requirement itself is modified by a Note that says that this Surveillance shall include verification that the P-6 and P-10 interlocks are in their required state for existing unit conditions.
This changes the CTS by requiring the performance of a COT for the Nuclear Power Range channels every 184 days instead of the monthly and quarterly requirements of CTS.

However, CTS 3.5.2 does not provide any explicit Actions to take when the Reactor Coolant Pump Breakers are inoperable in either single loop or two loop operation. Since these channels support the Underfrequency 4-kV Bus channels, KPS would take the Column 6 actions for inoperable Underfrequency 4-kV Bus channels. This action requires the plant to be maintained in HOT SHUTDOWN. Since there is no time limit to attain HOT SHUTDOWN, KPS uses the times from CTS 3.0.c.

When the required number of channels per bus of CTS Table TS 3.5-5 Functional Unit 1 (Safeguards Bus Undervoltage) is not met, Column 3 requires one Safeguard Bus Undervoltage channel per bus be OPERABLE. Furthermore, the requirement in Column 3 is modified by Footnote (2), which states that when one component of a channel is taken out of service, that component shall be in the tripped condition. If the one required safeguard Bus Undervoltage channel for a bus is inoperable, then Table TS 3.5-5 Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN or operating the diesel generator. When the one required Safeguards Bus Undervoltage is inoperable, ITS 3.3.5 ACTIONS A and B provide the appropriate compensatory measures. ITS 3.3.5 Required Action A.1 allows 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to place the affected portion of the required channel in trip. However, as Noted, this Required Action is only allowed if the channel is inoperable due to one of the two relays being inoperable.

OPERATIONS. This requirement can be met by an OPERABLE automatic isolation valve or a closed isolation valve. When this requirement is not being met, CTS 3.8.b provides actions to be taken if any of the specified limiting conditions in CTS 3.8.a are not met during REFUELING OPERATIONS. ITS 3.3.6 is applicable, in part, during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment, as stated in footnote (a) to Table 3.3.6-1.

This is referring to the Containment Purge and Vent System valves, and thus includes th e instruments that provide the isolation signal. The Specification is applicable during REFUELING OPERATIONS. When this requirement is not being met, the isolation valve must be closed or CTS 3.8.b requires refueling of the reactor to cease, initiation of action to restore the monitoring capability, and no operations be performed that could increase the reactivity of the core. Under similar conditions, ITS 3.3.6 does not require the refueling of the reactor to cease or require all operations that could increase the reactivity of the core to cease.

3.3.6 ACTIONS A and C 3.8.b 4 3.3.7 L01 CTS 3.12.b requires, with one train of the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays Function inoperable (i.e., the associated CRPAR train is inoperable), to either restore the CRPAR train to OPERABLE status (i.e.,
by restoring the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays train to
OPERABLE status) within 7 days or the unit must be shutdown (to HOT SHUTDOWN - ITS equivalent MODE 3) in the next 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. In addition, the CTS does not provide any Actions when both trains of the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays Function are inoperable or when the Control Room Vent Radiation Monitor (i.e., both CRPAR trains are inoperable in both cases) in MODES 1 and 2. Thus a unit shutdown (to HOT SHUTDOWN - ITS equivalent MODE 3) is required. ITS 3.3.7 ACTION A allows 7 days to place the associated CRPAR train in the emergency mode when one Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays train is inoperable. When both Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays trains are inoperable or the Control Room Vent Radiation Monitor is inoperable, ITS 3.3.7 ACTION B allows either immediately placing one CRPAR train in the emergency mode and declaring the other CRPAR train inoperable (and entering the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of ITS 3.7.10) or immediately placing both CRPAR trains in the emergency mode. If either ACTION A or B is not met, ITS 3.3.7 ACTION C requires shutting down the unit to MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />. This changes the CTS by allowing the associated CRPAR trains to be placed in the emergency mode in lieu of requiring a unit shutdown. The change in the time to reach the shutdown condition and the requirement to place the unit in MODE 5 is discussed in DOC M01.

ITS 3.4.1.a requires the RCS DNB parameters for pressurizer pressure to be within limits during MODE 1, but the Applicability is modified by a Note. The Note states that the pressurizer pressure limit does not apply during THERMAL POWER ramp
> 5% RTP per minute or THERMAL POWER step > 10% RTP. This changes the CTS by allowing the pressurizer pressure limit to be outside of its limit during THERMAL POWER ramp > 5% RTP per minute or THERMAL POWER step > 10% RTP. 3.4.1 3.10.l 2 3.4.7 L01 ITS 3.4.7 LCO Note 2 allows one RHR loop to be inoperable for a period of up to 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br /> for Surveillance testing, provided that the other RHR loop is OPERABLE and in operation. The CTS does not contain this allowance; CTS 3.1.a.2.B requires both RHR trains to be OPERABLE at all times when in MODE 5 with the RCS loops filled. This changes the CTS by providing an allowance for one of the RHR loops to be inoperable for a limited period of time to perform required Surveillance testing. LCO 3.4.7 Note 2 3.1.a.2.B 1 3.4.7 L02 CTS 3.1.a.2.B requires two RHR trains to be OPERABLE whenever the average reactor coolant temperature is < 200ºF and irradiated fuel is in the reactor (i.e., ITS MODE 5). ITS LCO 3.4.7 provides an allowance that
a steam generator with secondary side water level > 5% can replace one of the two RHR trains. Furthermore, due to this allowance, the ITS provides alternate actions (ITS 3.4.7 Required Action A.2 and ACTION B) when only one RHR train is OPERABLE. In addition, ITS SR 3.4.7.2 requires verification every 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> that the secondary side water level of the required steam generator is > 5%. This changes the CTS by only requiring one RHR train to be OPERABLE, provided the secondary side water level of a steam generator is >
5%, and provides compensatory actions when this allowance is being used and is not met, as well as a Surveillance Requirement to periodically verify the limit is being met. 3.4.7 ACTION A, 3.4.7 ACTION B 3.1.a.2.B 1 Table L - Less Restrictive Changes ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement Change Category 3.4.8 L01 ITS 3.4.8 Note 2 allows one RHR loop to be inoperable for a period of 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br /> for Surveillance testing provided that the other RHR loop is OPERABLE and in operation. The CTS does not contain these allowances; CTS 3.1.a.2.B requires both RHR trains to be OPERABLE at all times when in MODE 5 with the RCS loops not filled.

The term "are in" the mode corresponding to the isolated condition implies that this is an immediate action; no time is provided to place the penetration in the isolated condition. ITS 3.4.14 ACTION A contains this same requirement, but allows 4 hours0.167 days <br />0.0238 weeks <br />0.00548 months <br /> to isolate the first valve and 72 hours3 days <br />0.429 weeks <br />0.0986 months <br /> to isolate the second valve.

For a manual valve, ITS 3.4.14 Required Action A.1 only requires closing the manual valve; locking the valve is not required. For an automatic valve, ITS 3.4.14 Required Action A.1 only requires deactivating the valve (i.e., opening the power breaker), locking out the power breaker is not required.

During the 30 days allowed for restoration, Required Actions B.1.1 and B.1.2 will continue to be performed. This changes the CTS by allowing a longer period of time to restore the required containment atmosphere radioactivity monitor to OPERABLE in
the ITS than was allowed in the CTS. 3.4.15 ACTION B, 3.1.d.4 4 3.4.16 L01 CTS 3.1.c.1.B requires the gross radioactivity due to nuclides with half-lives > 30 minutes excluding tritium to be <

Furthermore, if the limit is not met, CTS 3.1.c.2.C requires the sample and analysis requirements of Table TS 4.1-2, item 1.f (an isotopic analysis for iodine), to be performed every 4 hours0.167 days <br />0.0238 weeks <br />0.00548 months <br />. Table TS 4.1-2, Item 1.a, requires a gross radioactivity determination (excluding tritium) 5 times per week, with a maximum time between tests of 3 days and item 1.e
requires an determination every 6 months with the sample being required after a minimum of 2 EFPD and 20 days of OPERATING MODE operation have elapsed since the reactor was last subcritical for >

< 595 µCi/gm and requires verification of this limit every 7 days when in MODE 1. If DOSE EQUIVALENT XE-133 is not within the limit, ITS 3.4.16 ACTION B provides 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> to restore the DOSE EQUIVALENT XE-133 to within its limit prior to requiring a unit shutdown. It also allows LCO 3.0.4.c to be applicable when in ACTION B.

ITS 3.4.16, including the incorporation of TSTF-490-A, does not include this requirement. This changes the CTS by deleting this Surveillance Requirement. None Table TS 4.1-2 Item 1.c 5 3.5.1 L01 CTS 3.3.a.2, in part, requires that when an accumulator is inoperable and a unit shutdown is required, the unit must be in COLD SHUTDOWN (ITS equivalent MODE 5) within an additional 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br /> (after the time to reach HOT STANDBY and HOT SHUTDOWN). ITS 3.5.1 Required Action C.2 only requires that the unit reduce RCS pressure to 1000 psig. This deletes the requirement to be in COLD SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 5) within an additional 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />. 3.5.1 ACTION C 3.3.a.2 4 3.5.2 L01 CTS 3.3.b.2 states that during power operation or recovery from an inadvertent trip, one SI/RHR train may be inoperable for a period of 72

ITS 3.5.2 ACTION C states that with less than 100% of the ECCS flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE ECCS train available, enter LCO 3.0.3 immediately. This changes the CTS by allowing combinations of equipment from both trains to be credited as meeting the ECCS safety function provided 100% of the ECCS flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE ECCS train is available. For example, under the CTS, an inoperable safety injection pump in one train and an inoperable residual heat removal pump in the other train would require a CTS 3.0.c entry. Under the ITS, the same condition would allow 72 hours3 days <br />0.429 weeks <br />0.0986 months <br /> before requiring a shutdown because the remaining OPERABLE safety injection pump and residual heat removal pump are capable of producing the flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE train.

This implies that even if the test were performed just prior to a unit shutdown, that it must be re-performed within one week after the plant startup if not performed during the plant shutdown, even if the test is still current (i.e., has been performed within the previous quarter). ITS SR 3.5.2.4 only requires this test to be performed every 92 days.

A Note allows this specific Required Action to be met by administrative means if the air lock doors are in high radiation areas. Furthermore, ITS 3.6.2 ACTION A includes two Notes, one which states that the three Required Actions do not have to be met if both doors in the same air lock are inoperable and Condition C is entered and the second which allows entry and exit through
the OPERABLE door for 7 days under administrative controls if both air locks are inoperable. When one or more air locks are inoperable for reasons other than one door being inoperable or the interlock mechanism being inoperable (see DOC M01), ITS 3.6.2 ACTION C requires: a) action to be immediately initiated to evaluate overall containment leakage rate per LCO 3.6.1; b) verifying a door is closed in the affected air lock within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />; and c) restoring the air lock to OPERABLE status within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br />.

CTS 4.8.a is performed on the motor driven AFW pumps, one of the AFW header cross-tie valves is closed so that the motor driven AFW pump being tested will only pump to one of the SGs. When either of these valves is closed to perform this te sting, KPS declares the turbine driven AFW train inoperable since the turbine driven AFW train cannot automatically provide flow to both SGs. In addition, during this test the motor driven AFW pump is also inoperable. Thus, two AFW trains are inoperable when either of the motor driven AFW pumps is being tested as required by CTS 4.8.a. This requires entry into CTS 3.4.b.4.B, which allows 4 hours0.167 days <br />0.0238 weeks <br />0.00548 months <br /> to restore one of the two inoperable trains to OPERABLE status.

However, ITS SR 3.7.5.1, which requires verification that each manual, power operated, and automatic valve in each water flow path that is not locked sealed, or otherwise secured in position, is in the correct position, has been modified by Note 2.

In this situation, a reactor shutdown is required. In addition, CTS 3.12 does not address the control room boundary being opened intermittently (such as for routine entry and exit) under administrative controls. ITS LCO 3.7.10 also requires two CRPAR trains to be OPERABLE, however a Note to the LCO is included that allows the control room boundary to be opened intermittently under administrative controls. ITS 3.7.10 ACTION B provides actions for when the control room boundary is inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4. The action allows up to 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> to restore the control room boundary before requiring a unit shutdown. Furthermore, due to the addition of ITS 3.7.10 ACTION B, an action has been added (ITS 3.7.10 ACTION F) to cover the instances where both CRPAR trains are inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 for reasons other than an inoperable control room boundary. The proposed ACTION will require a unit shutdown per LCO 3.0.3.

This changes the CTS by allowing more time to restore inoperable AC sources prior to declaring the associated equipment inoperable.
3.8.1 Required Actions A.2, B.2, and C.1 3.7.c 3 3.8.1 L02 CTS 3.7.b.1, in part, allows 7 days to restore an inoperable offsite circuit to OPERABLE status provided the ot her offsite circuit is OPERABLE. Thus, the CTS does not allow two offsite circuits to be inoperable and does not include Actions to take if two offsite circuits are inoperable. Therefore the shutdown requirements of CTS 3.0.c would apply. ITS 3.8.1 ACTION C covers the condition of two offsite circuits inoperable and requires the restoration of one offsite circuit to OPERABLE status within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br />.

Thus, the CTS does not allow one offsite circuit and one DG to be simultaneously inoperable. Therefore, the shutdown requirements of CTS 3.0.c would apply. ITS 3.8.1 ACTION D covers the condition of one offsite circuit and one DG inoperable and requires the restoration of either the offsite circuit or the DG to OPERABLE status within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. In addition, a Note is included that requires entry into the Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.8.9, "Distribution Systems - Operating," when Condition D is entered with no AC power source to any division. This changes the CTS by allowing some time to restore an AC power source prior to requiring a plant shutdown when one offsite source and one DG are inoperable. 3.8.1 ACTION D 3.0.c 4 3.8.1 L04 CTS 4.6.a.2 requires verification of DG performance following a "simulated" loss of offsite power in conjunction with a "simulated" safety injection signal. ITS SR 3.8.1.16 performs a similar test, but specifies that each signal may be from either an "actual" or "simulated" signal. This changes the CTS by explicitly allowing the use of an actual signal for the test. SR 3.8.1.16 4.6.a.2 6 3.8.1 L05 CTS 4.6.a.2 requires, in part, that on a loss of all offsite power coincident with a safety injection signal, each DG be verified to start and assume required loads to the extent possible within 1 minute. ITS SR 3.8.1.16 requires a similar test, but specifies the permanently connected loads be verified energized in 10 seconds and that auto-connected loads are energized through the time delay relays. This changes the CTS by removing the requirement to verify all loads are energized "within 1
minute." SR 3.8.1.16 4.6.a.2 6 3.8.1 L06 CTS Table TS 4.1-3 Equipment Test 9 requires the diesel fuel oil inventory to be verified within limits weekly (every 7 days).

However, the CTS 1.0.e definition of OPERABLE requires that, for all equipment required to be OPERABLE, "all necessary attendant ... normal and emergency electrical power sources... that is required for the system or component to perform its intended function is also capable of performing their related support functions." Furthermore, CTS 3.7.c states, "When its normal or emergency power source is inoperable, a system, train or component may be considered OPERABLE ... provided its corresponding normal or emergency power source is OPERABLE and its redundant
system, train, or component is OPERABLE." New requirements were added as ITS LCO 3.8.2.a and LCO 3.8.2.b. ITS LCO 3.8.2.a requires one qualified circuit between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1E AC electrical power distribution subsystem(s) required by LCO 3.8.10, "Distribution Systems - Shutdown," and ITS LCO 3.8.2.b requires one DG capable of supplying one train of the onsite Class 1E AC electrical power distribution subsystem(s) required by LCO 3.8.10. ITS 3.8.2 is required in MODES 5 and 6 and during the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies. This changes the CTS by adding an explicit LCO for an offsite circuit and DG during MODES 5 and 6 and during the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.
LCO 3.8.2 including Applicability 3.7.c 1 3.8.3 L01 CTS 3.7.a.7 does not provide explicit compensatory actions if the volume of fuel oil in a storage tank and corresponding day tanks is less than the specified limit. Thus, if the minimum required volume is not met, the associated DG must be declared inoperable and CTS 3.7.b.7 must be entered. ITS 3.8.3 ACTION A allows the unit to not declare the associated DG inoperable as long as the usable volume of stored fuel oil is greater than a six day limit (i.e., > 27,961 gallons). In this situation, ITS 3.8.3 Required Action A.1 allows 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> to restore the fuel oil volume to within limits. As stated in the ACTIONS Note, a separate entry into this new ACTION is allowed for each DG. If this Required Action and associated Completion Time are not met or if the fuel oil storage tank usable volume is < 27,961 gallons, the associated DG must be declared inoperable immediately (ITS 3.8.3 ACTION E).

3.8.3 ACTIONS A and E 3.7.b.7 4 3.8.3 L02 CTS Table TS 4.1-3 Equipment Test 9 requires the diesel fuel oil inventory to be verified within limits weekly (every 7 days). ITS SR 3.8.3.1 requires the verification to be performed every 31 days. This changes the CTS by extending the Surveillance interval from 7 days to 31
days. SR 3.8.3.1 Table TS 4.1-3 Equipment Test 9 7 3.8.4 L01 CTS 3.7.b.3 allows one battery to be inoperable for 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> provided the other battery and two battery chargers are OPERABLE with one charger carrying the DC supply system. However, the CTS does not include explicit Actions when a DC electrical power subsystem is inoperable for reasons other than an inoperable battery (e.g., inoperable charger or inoperable battery and charger). Thus, when only one battery charger is inoperable, KPS considers the associated battery still OPERABLE until the battery voltage decreases below a minimum voltage limit. At that time, both the battery charger and associated battery are inoperable and the shutdown requirements of CTS 3.0.c would apply. ITS 3.8.4 ACTION A covers the condition of one required battery charger inoperable and requires the restoration of battery terminal voltage to greater than or equal to the minimum established float voltage within 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br />, the verification that battery float current is 2 amps once per 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />, and the restoration of the inoperable battery charger to OPERABLE status within 72 hours3 days <br />0.429 weeks <br />0.0986 months <br />. If one DC electrical power subsystem is inoperable for reasons other than those specified in ITS 3.8.4 ACTION A (e.g., inoperable battery and charger), ITS 3.8.4 ACTION B requires the restoration of the inoperable DC electrical power subsystem within 2 hours0.0833 days <br />0.0119 weeks <br />0.00274 months <br />. This changes the CTS by providing a restoration time for an inoperable battery charger and for an inoperable battery and charger prior to requiring a plant shutdown.

This Action is applicable when the battery is inoperable due to battery parameters not within limits. In lieu of this current Action under these conditions, the ITS 3.8.6 ACTIONS provide compensatory actions when battery parameters are not within limits, to be taken prior to declaring the associated battery inoperable. This changes the CTS by replacing the current Action with new compensatory actions for battery parameters not within limits.
3.8.6 ACTIONS A, B, C, D, E, and F 3.7.b.3 4 3.8.6 L02 CTS 4.6.b.1 requires, in part, the verification that the cell voltage is within limits every month.

ITS SR 3.8.6.6 requires a similar battery test; however, the battery voltage monitoring as a function of time and monitoring that the connections are tight during the test is not included. This changes the CTS by deleting the measurement requirements that are required to be taken during performance of the test. None 4.6.b.4 5 3.8.6 L07 CTS 4.6.b.1, in part, requires an equalizing charge to be performed if the lowest cell in the battery falls < 2.13 volts.

If this requirement is not met, CTS 3.8.b requires refueling of the reactor to cease. In addition, CTS 3.8.b, requires work to be initiated to correct the violated conditions so the specified limits are met and no operations which may increase the reactivity of the core shall be performed. ITS 3.9.5 ACTION A only requires immediate suspension of movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment.

ITS 5.7.2.d.3 reads the same as ITS 5.7.1.d.4, except the last phrase, "communicate with individuals in the area who are covered by such surveillance," is replaced with the phrase, "communicate with and control every individual in the area." This changes the CTS by deleting the discussion of positive controls over activities and performing radiation surveillances with a requirement for the monitoring device to have continuous dose rate displays and the responsibility to control dose rates in the area and adds an option to perform the monitoring of personnel remotely using the specified equipment and processes for a high radiation area < 1000 mrem/hr.

Additionally, CTS 3.0.c states the shutdown time limits in sequential order; i.e., each time limit is measured from the completion of the previous step. ITS LCO 3.0.3 states the time limits (Completion Times) from the time the condition is entered.

As a result, LCO 3.0.c would be entered, which requires action to be initiated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and to place the unit in HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) within the next 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) within the following 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, and in COLD SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 5) within the subsequent 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />. Under similar conditions, ITS 3.1.1 provides 15 minutes to initiate boration to restore SDM to within limits. This changes the CTS by providing a maximum time limit of 15 minutes to initiate boration to restore SDM to within limits prior to entering ITS LCO 3.0.3. 3.1.1 ACTION A 3.10.a 3.1.1 M02 CTS 3.10.a does not provide any Surveillance Requirements for verifying that the SDM is within the limits specified in the COLR. CTS Table 4.1-2 provides one parameter of the SDM in the boron concentration test which is performed two times per week. ITS SR 3.1.1.1 requires verifying that the SDM is within the limits specified in the COLR every 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br />. This changes the CTS by adding a new Surveillance Requirement to verify the SDM. SR 3.1.1.1 3.10.a, Table 4.1-2 3.1.2 M01 CTS 4.9 states, in part, that after normalization, the actual boron concentration of the coolant shall be periodically compared with the predicted value. ITS SR 3.1.2.1 requires verification of the measured core reactivity is within +/- 1% k/k of predicted values at least once prior to entering MODE 1 after each refueling and after 60 effective full power days (EFPD) it should be verified every 31 EFPD thereafter.

ITS 3.1.2 requires that if the meas ured core reactivity is not within limits, within 7 days a re-evaluation of the core design and safety analysis, a determination that the reactor core is acceptable for continued operation, and establishment of appropriate operating restrictions and SRs are required. If the re-evaluation of the core design and safety analysis to determine that the reactor core is acceptable for continued operation, and the establishment of appropriate operating restrictions and SRs cannot be accomplished within 7 days, then the reactor is required to be in MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />. This changes the CTS by requiring a re-evaluation of the core design and safety analysis, a determination that the reactor core is acceptable for continued operation, and establishment of appropriate operating restrictions and SRs instead of requiring an evaluation of the cause of the discrepancy shall be made and reported to the Commission. This also changes the Completion Time from 30
days to 7 days. 3.1.2 ACTION A 4.9 3.1.3 M01 CTS 3.1.f.3 requires, in part, that the moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) shall be as specified in the COLR when the reactor is critical. The COLR provides both an upper MTC limit and a lower MTC limit. If an MTC limit is not met, CTS 3.1.f.4 provides 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> to develop and maintain administrative control rod withdrawal limits sufficient to restore the MTC to within the limits. ITS 3.1.3 requires the upper MTC Limit to be met in MODE 1 and MODE 2 with k eff 1.0 and the lower MTC limit to be met in MODES 1, 2, and 3. Furthermore, ITS 3.1.3 does not provide any time to restore the lower MTC to within limits. If the lower MTC limit is not met, ITS 3.1.3 ACTION C requires the unit to be in MODE 4 within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />, which places the unit outside the new proposed Applicability. This changes the CTS by requiring the lower MTC limit to be met in MODE 3 and when it cannot be met, to be in MODE 4 within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. 3.1.3 ACTION C 3.1.f.3 Table M - More Restrictive Changes

ITS SR 3.1.3.1 requires verification that the MTC is within the upper limit prior to entering MODE 1 after each refueling. ITS SR 3.1.3.2 requires that the MTC is within the lower limit once each cycle. This changes the CTS by adding new Surveillance Requirements to verify the upper and lower MTC are within limits.
SR 3.1.3.1, SR 3.1.3.2 3.1.f.3 3.1.4 M01 CTS 3.10.e.2 states, in part, that when reactor power is < 85% but 50% of rating, the rod cluster control assemblies shall be maintained within +/- 24 steps from their respective banks. CTS 3.10.g.2 states that not more than one inoperable full length rod shall be allowed at any time. CTS 3.10.h states, in part, that at OPERATING temperature and full flow, the drop time of each full length rod cluster control shall be no greater than 1.8 seconds from loss of stationary gripper coil voltage to dashpot entry. ITS 3.1.4 requires all shutdown and control rods and the individual rod position indication to be OPERABLE in MODES 1 and 2 and requires the 24 step alignment limit to be met when < 85% RTP in MODES 1 and 2. This changes the CTS by requiring all shutdown and control rods and the individual rod position indication to be OPERABLE in MODES 1 and 2 and requires the 24 step alignment limit to be met when < 85% RTP in MODES 1 and 2, in lieu of when <85% RTP and

However, Note (1) allows one additional channel to be taken out of service during zero power testing. Thus, during zero power PHYSICS TESTS, the CTS only requires two Functional Unit 2 channels to be OPERABLE.
ITS LCO 3.1.8, in part, includes an allowance to reduce the required number of channels for ITS LCO 3.3.1, "RPS Instrumentation," Functions 2 (Power Range Neutron Flux) and 3 (Power Range Neutron Flux Rate) from "4" to "3" during PHYSICS TESTS. This changes the CTS by always requiring three channels of Nuclear Flux Power Range be OPERABLE during all MODE 2 PHYSICS TESTS, even zero power PHYSICS TESTS. LCO 3.1.8 Table TS 3.5-2, Functional Unit 2 3.2.1 M01 CTS 3.10.b.6 provides the Surveillance Requirement for periodically verifying
()Z F N Qtransient relationship is within limit. CTS 3.10.b.6.B requires the Surveillance to be performed once within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> of achieving equilibrium conditions after reaching a thermal power level > 10% higher than the power level at which the last power distribution measurement was performed in accordance with CTS 3.10.b.6.A. ITS SR 3.2.1.2, which requires a similar Surveillance Requirement, is required after a THERMAL POWER change of > 10% RTP. This changes the CTS by requiring the Surveillance to be performed after a power change of > 10% RTP, in lieu of > 10% RTP. SR 3.2.1.2 3.10.b.6, 3.10.b.6.B 3.2.1 M02 CTS 3.10.b.6.C.i states, in part, that the transient relationship shall be increased by the penalty factor specified in COLR. ITS SR 3.2.1.2 is modified by a Note which requires, in part, that (i.e., the transient relationship) shall be increased by the greater of a factor of 1.02 or by an appropriate factor specified in the COLR. This changes the CTS by specifically requiring transient relationship to be increased by a minimum factor of 1.02. SR 3.2.1.2 3.10.b.6.C.i Table M - More Restrictive Changes

However, under CTS 3.0.b, these measurements do not have to be completed if compliance with the LCO is reestablished. ITS 3.2.2 Condition A contains a Note which states, "Required Actions A.2 and A.4 must be completed whenever Condition A is entered." ITS Required Actions A.2 and A.4 require performance of a N H F measurement within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> and prior to exceeding 50% RTP and 75% RTP, and within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> after THERMAL POWER is 95% RTP. This changes the CTS by requiring the N H F measurements to be made even if N H F is restored to within its limit. 3.2.2 ACTION A 3.10.b.2.A.iii, 3.10.b.2.C 3.2.4 M01 When the QPTR is > 1.02, CTS 3.10.c.1.B requires the restriction of the maximum thermal power level 2% for every 1% of indicated QPTR > 1.0. This same restriction is also required by CTS 3.10.c.3.A. ITS 3.2.4 Required Action A.1 requires a 3% reduction in THERMAL POWER from RTP for each 1% of QPTR > 1.00. This changes the CTS by requiring the THERMAL POWER reduction from RTP to be 3%
in lieu of the current 2% for each 1% of QPTR > 1.00. 3.2.4 ACTION A 3.10.c.1.B 3.2.4 M02 CTS 3.10.c does not provide any Surveillance Requirements for verifying QPTR is within limits. ITS SR 3.2.4.1 requires verifying the QPTR is within limit by calculation every 7 days. If one or more Power Range Neutron Flux channels are inoperable with THERMAL POWER > 75% RTP, then ITS SR 3.2.4.2 (and associated Note) requires verifying QPTR is within limit using the movable incore detectors every 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> (after the Power Range Neutron Flux channels are inoperable). Furthermore, ITS SR 3.2.4.1 is modified by a Note that states ITS SR 3.2.4.2 may be performed in lieu of ITS SR 3.2.4.1. This changes the CTS by adding specific Surveillance Requirements to verify the LCO limit is met. SR 3.2.4.1 3.10.c Table M - More Restrictive Changes

ITS SR 3.2.4.1 Note 1 states that with input from one Power Range Neutron Flux channel (i.e., an excore detector) inoperable and THERMAL POWER 75% RTP, the remaining three Power Range Neutron Flux channels can be used for calculating QPTR. This changes the CTS by specifying that the allowance can only be used
when 75% RTP. SR 3.2.4.1 1.0.a 3.3.1 M01 CTS 3.5.c states, in part, that when the number of channels of a subsystem fall below the limits given in Table TS 3.5-2 Column 3 operation shall be limited according to the requirement shown in Column 6 as soon as practicable. Table TS 3.5-2 Functional Unit 1 (Manual Reactor Trip) Column 3 requires one Manual Reactor Trip channel to be OPERABLE. Thus, while there are two Reactor Manual Trip channels in the KPS design, the CTS allows one of the Reactor Manual Trip channels to be inoperable for an indefinite amount of time; no actions are required when one of the two Manual Reactor Trip channels is inoperable.

However, all RPS Protective System Logic Channels are required to be OPERABLE when the associated RPS channels are required. Currently, this is MODES 1 and 2 as described in DOC A12. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 19 provides the appropriate MODES 1 and 2 requirements. ITS Table 3.3.1-1 Function 19 also requires two trains of the Automatic Trip Logic to be OPERABLE in MODES 3, 4, and 5 with the Rod Control System capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods not fully inserted. If one train of the Automatic Trip Logic is inoperable in MODES 3, 4, or 5 with the Rod Control System capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods not fully inserted, then ITS 3.3.1 ACTION C requires either restoration of the train to OPERABLE status within 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> or to initiate action to fully insert all rods within 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> and to place the Rod control System in a condition incapable of rod withdrawal within 49 hours2.042 days <br />0.292 weeks <br />0.0671 months <br />.

Action shall be initiated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to place the unit, as applicable, in MODE 3 within 7 hours0.292 days <br />0.0417 weeks <br />0.00959 months <br />, in MODE 4 within 13 hours0.542 days <br />0.0774 weeks <br />0.0178 months <br />, and in MODE 5 within 37 hours1.542 days <br />0.22 weeks <br />0.0507 months <br />. The ITS Applicability for Function 6.d is MODES 1 and 2. Therefore, placing the unit in MODE 3 will place the unit in a condition in which the LCO does not apply. This changes the CTS by requiring less time for the unit to reach MODE 3 in the ITS than is allowed to reach MODE 3 in the CTS. Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.d Applicability 3.5.c 3.3.2 M06 CTS 3.5.c states, in part, that when the number of channels of a subsystem fall below the limits given in Column 3 of Table TS 3.5-4 operation shall be limited according to the requirement shown in Column 6 as soon as practicable. If the conditions of Column 3 of CTS Table TS 3.5-4 cannot be met (i.e., less than the minimum number of OPERABLE channels), Column 6 requires that the unit be placed in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) for Functional Units 2.a, 2.b, and 2.c of Table TS 3.5-4. The HOT SHUTDOWN requirement in Column 6 contains a footnote, footnote (1) for Functional Units 2.a, 2.b, and 2.c of Table TS 3.5-4, which states if minimum conditions are not met within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> (i.e., restoration of at least the minimum number of OPERABLE channels required in Column 3), steps shall be taken to place the plant in a COLD SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 5) condition. Since there are no time limits to attain HOT SHUTDOWN or COLD SHUTDOWN, KPS uses the times from CTS 3.0.c.

Under similar conditions (i.e., more than one installed channel inoperable) in the ITS for Functions 4.c, 4.d, and 4.e, ITS 3.3.2 provides no ACTIONS; therefore, entry into LCO 3.0.3 is required. LCO 3.0.3 requires that the unit be placed in a MODE or other specified condition in which the LCO is not applicable.

The ITS Applicability for Functions 4.c, 4.d and 4.e is MODE 1 and MODES 2 and 3 except when all MSIVs are closed and deactivated. Therefore, placing the unit in MODE 4 will place the unit in a condition in which the LCO does not apply. This changes the CTS by requiring less time for the unit to reach MODE 4 in the ITS than is allowed to reach MODE 5 in the CTS.
None 3.5.c Table TS 3.5-4 Functional Unit 2.a, Functional Unit 2.b, Functional Unit 2.c 3.3.2 M07 CTS Table TS 3.5-3 Column 6 specifies the "OPERATOR ACTION IF CONDITIONS OF COLUMN 3 OR 4 CANNOT BE MET." CTS Table TS 3.5-3 Column 6 requires maintaining HOT SHUTDOWN for Functional Units 4.a and 5.a. Based on the CTS Table TS 3.5-3 requirement to maintain HOT SHUTDOWN, the Mode of Applicability would be considered OPERATING (equival ent to ITS MODE 1) and HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2). ITS LCO 3.3.2 requires the ESFAS instrumentation in Table 3.3.2-1 to be OPERABLE. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 reflects the APPLICABLE MODE OR OTHER SPECIFIED CONDITIONS for Function 6.b as MODES 1, 2, and 3. Commensurate with the change in the Mode of Applicability there is also a change in the MODE that the ACTION requires the plant to be in when channels are inoperable and not restored to OPERABLE status. CTS Table TS 3.5-3 requires the unit be maintained in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) in the event that the minimum number of OPERABLE channels is less than that required. Since there is no time limit to attain HOT SHUTDOWN, KPS uses the time limit from CTS 3.0.c.

This changes the CTS by explicitly stating the MODES of Applicability for each Functional Unit and requiring the ESFAS instrumentation Functions be OPERABLE in MODE 3, and changes the time allowed to reach MODE 3. 3.3.2 ACTION D, Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.b Applicability Table TS 3.5-3 Functional Unit 4.a, Functional Unit 5.a 3.3.2 M08 CTS 3.3.e.1 and CTS 3.3.e.1.A.3 state, in part, that the reactor shall not be made critical unless there is an OPERABLE turbine building service water header isolation logic capable of closing the header isolation valves, except when a turbine building service water header isolation valve is closed and de-activated. In the ITS, this is MODES 1 and 2 except when a turbine building service water header isolation valve is closed and de-activated. ITS Table 3.3.2-1, Functions 7a and 7.b (Turbine Building Service Water Header Isolation) are required to OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 except when a turbine building service water header isolation valve is closed and de-activated. This changes the CTS by requiring the Turbine Building Service Water Header Isolation Function to be OPERABLE in MODE 3.

If the conditions of Column 3 of CTS Table TS 3.5-3 cannot be met (i.e., less than the minimum number of OPERABLE channels), Column 6 requires that the unit be placed in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) for Functional Units 1.b and 3.b of Table TS 3.5-3. The HOT SHUTDOWN requirement in Column 6 contains a footnote, footnote (1) for Functional Unit 1.b of Table TS 3.5-3, which states if minimum conditions are not met within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br /> (i.e., restoration of at least the minimum number of OPERABLE channels required in Column 3), steps shall be taken to place the plant in a COLD SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 5) condition.

Supply Valve to Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps, Steam Generator Level (Narrow Range), Refueling Water Storage Tank Level, and Heat Removal by the Containment Fan Coil Units (Service Water Supply Valve Position Indication). These indication channels are added to the CTS and shown in ITS Table 3.3.3-1, Functions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 19, 20, and 21. Two channels per Function are required for the following Functions: Intermediate Range Neutron Flux (Function 1),
RCS Hot Leg Temperature (Function 3), RCS Cold Leg Temperature (Function 4),
Containment Area Radiation (High Range) (Function 10), Pressurizer Level (Function 11), Refueling Water Storage Tank Level (Function 20). In addition, two channels per steam generator are required for the Steam Generator Pressure (Function 2), two channels per penetration are required for the Penetration Flow Path Containment Isolation Valve Position (Function 9), three channels are required for the Service Water Supply Valve to Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps (Function 13), two channels per steam generator are required for the Steam Generator Level (Function 19), and four channels are required for the Heat Removal by the Containment Fan Coil Units (Service Water Supply Valve Position Indication) (Function 21).
Furthermore, the requirements for Function 9 are modified by two footnotes, footnotes (a) and (b). Footnote (a) does not require position indication for isolation valves whose associated penetration is isolated by at least one closed and deactivated automatic valve, closed manual valve, blind flange, or check valve with flow through the valve secured. Footnote (b) requires only one position indication channel for penetration flow paths with only one installed control room indication channel. ITS 3.3.3 ACTION A has been added to cover the Condition when one or more of the above Functions has one required channel inoperable. ITS 3.3.3 Required Action A.1 allows 30 days to restore the required channel to OPERABLE status. If the Required Action and Completion Time of Condition A is not met, then ITS Required Action B.1 requires the immediate initiation of actions specified in Specification 5.6.4. ITS 3.3.3 ACTION C has been added to cover the Condition 3.3.3 ACTION A, 3.3.3 ACTION C, Table 3.3.3-1 Function 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 19, 20, and 21 Table TS 3.5-6 Table M - More Restrictive Changes

ITS 3.3.3 Required Action C.1 requires restoration of all but one channel to OPERABLE status within 7 days. If this cannot be met, or if the Required Action and Associated Completion Time of Condition C is not met, then ITS 3.3.3 Condition D must be entered, which then requires entry into Condition E. ITS 3.3.3 Required Action E.1 requires the unit to be in MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and MODE 4 within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. A Note has been added to the ACTIONS to allow separate Condition entry for each Function. In addition, separate Condition entry is allowed within a Function for Function 9 on a penetration flow path basis and Functions 2 and 19 on a steam generator basis. In addition, SRs are added for each Function. These SRs are a CHANNEL CHECK for each required instrumentation channel that is normally energized (SR 3.3.3.1) and a CHANNEL CALIBRATION (SR 3.3.3.3). This changes the CTS by adding new Functions and applicable ACTIONS and SRs. 3.3.3 ACTION A, 3.3.3 ACTION C, Table 3.3.3-1 Function 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 19, 20, and 21 Table TS 3.5-6 3.3.3 M04 CTS Table TS 3.5-6 Footnote (1) states, in part, that with the number of OPERABLE accident monitoring instrumentation channels less than the minimum channels OPERABLE requirements, and not restored within the allowed time, a unit shutdown to HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and to HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) within the following 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> is required. ITS 3.3.3 Required Action E.1 requires that the unit be in MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and ITS 3.3.3 Required Action E.2 requires that the unit be in MODE 4 within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. This change deletes the requirement to be in HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, changes the time required to be in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) from 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> to 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, and adds a new Required Action to be in ITS MODE 4 within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. 3.3.3 ACTION E Table TS 3.5-6 3.3.3 M05 CTS 3.11.c states that a minimum of four thermocouples per quadrant shall be available for readout if the reactor is operated above 85% with one excore nuclear power channel out of service. ITS Table 3.3.3-1 Functions 14, 15, 16, and 17 require four thermocouples/core quadrant to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3.
This changes the CTS by requiring the Core Exit Thermocouples be OPERABLE in more MODES than in CTS. Table 3.3.3-1 14, 15, 16, and 17 Applicability 3.11.c Table M - More Restrictive Changes
- 208 - ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.3 M06 CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 39, Containment Water Level (Wide Range), does not require the performance of a CHANNEL CHECK. ITS SR 3.3.3.1 requires the performance of a CHANNEL CHECK for each required instrumentation channel that is normally energized every 31 days. This changes the CTS by adding a new Surveillance Requirement for the Containment Sump Water Level (Wide Range) Function. SR 3.3.3.1 Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 39 3.3.4 M01 The CTS does not contain any requirements for the Dedicated Shutdown System to be OPERABLE. ITS 3.3.4 requires the Dedicated Shutdown System Functions to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3. The ITS also provides ACTIONS (ACTIONS A and B) when the LCO is not met and Surveillance Requirements (ITS SR 3.3.4.1, SR 3.3.4.2, and SR 3.3.4.3) to verify the Dedicated Shutdown System Functions are OPERABLE. This changes the CTS by incorporating the requirements of ITS 3.3.4.
SR 3.3.4.1, SR 3.3.4.2, SR 3.3.4.3 None 3.3.5 M01 CTS 3.5.c states, in part, that when the number of channels of a subsystem falls below the limits given in Table TS 3.5-5 Column 3, or if the values in Column 4 cannot be achieved, operation shall be limited according to the requirement shown in Column 6 as soon as practicable. Table TS 3.5-5 Functional Unit 2 (Safeguards Bus Second Level Undervoltage), Column 3 does not require any Safeguards Bus Second Level Undervoltage channels per bus to be OPERABLE and Column 4 has no minimum degree of redundancy specified. Thus, while there is one Safeguards Bus Second Level Undervoltage channel in the KPS design, the CTS allows the only Safeguards Bus Second Level Undervoltage channel to be inoperable for an indefinite amount of time without specifying any required actions. While Column 6 includes required actions, these actions are only required to be taken if Column 3 or 4 conditions cannot be met. ITS LCO 3.3.5 requires one Safeguards Bus Second Level Undervoltage (degraded voltage) channel per bus to be OPERABLE. ITS 3.3.5 ACTION A provides compensatory actions to take with one channel per bus inoperable and includes the CTS Column 6 requirement if the channel is inoperable due to one inoperable relay (see Required Action A.1, including Note 2). If both relays are inoperable or the channel is otherwise inoperable, Required Action A.2 states to restore the channel to OPERABLE status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. If the requirements of ACTION A are not met, ITS 3.3.5 ACTION B requires immediately entering the applicable Condition and required Action for the associated DG made inoperable by 3.3.5 ACTION A 3.5.c Table 3.5-2 Functional Unit 2 Table M - More Restrictive Changes
- 209 - ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.5 M01 (continued) LOOP DG start instrumentation. This changes the CTS by requiring one channel per bus of the Safeguards Bus Second Level Undervoltage Functional Unit to be OPERABLE, instead of zero channels per bus, and by adding specific ACTIONS to take when a channel is inoperable. 3.3.5 ACTION A 3.5.c Table 3.5-2 Functional Unit 2 3.3.5 M02 CTS 3.5 does not provide any specific Applicability for the LOOP DG Start Instrumentation. However, for CTS Table TS 3.5-5 Functional Unit 1, Safeguards Bus Undervoltage (loss of voltage), the Column 6 actions require the unit to be in HOT SHUTDOWN (ITS equivalent MODE 3) when the Column 3 or 4 conditions are not met. Thus, effectively the CTS Applicability is OPERATING and HOT STANDBY (ITS equivalent MODES 1 and 2). ITS 3.3.5 requires the LOOP DG Start Instrumentation to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 and when the associated DG is required to be OPERABLE by LCO 3.8.2, "AC Sources - Shutdown." This changes the CTS by adding additional App licability conditions for the LOOP DG Start Instrumentation. 3.3.5 Applicability Table 3.5-5 Functional Unit 1 3.3.6 M01 CTS 3.5.c states, in part, that when the number of channels of a subsystem fall below the limits given in Table TS 3.5-4 Column 3, operation shall be limited according to the requirement shown in Column 6 as soon as practicable. Table TS 3.5-4 Functional Unit 1.b (Containment Isolation - Manual), Column 3 requires one Manual channel to be OPERABLE. Thus, while there are two Manual channels in the KPS design, the CTS allows one of the Manual channels to be inoperable for an indefinite amount of time; no actions are required when one of the two Manual channels is inoperable. ITS Table 3.3.6-1 Functional Unit 3 references ITS LCO 3.3.2 for the number of required channels. ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 3.a requires two channels of the Containment Isolation - Manual Initiation Function to be OPERABLE and provides the appropriate ACTION and Surveillance Requirements. ITS 3.3.2 ACTION B provides compensatory actions to take with one Manual channel inoperable. ACTION B requires restoring the channel to OPERABLE status within 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> or to be in MODE 3 within 54 hours2.25 days <br />0.321 weeks <br />0.074 months <br /> and MODE 5 within 84 hours3.5 days <br />0.5 weeks <br />0.115 months <br />.
This changes the CTS by requiring two channels of the Manual Initiation Functional Unit to be OPERABLE instead of one channel and by adding a specific ACTION to take when one of the two required channels is inoperable. 3.3.2 ACTION B, Table 3.3.6-1 Function 3.a and 3.b Required Channels 3.5.c, Table 3.5-4 Functional Unit 1.b Table M - More Restrictive Changes
- 210 - ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.3.6 M02 CTS Table TS 3.5-4 Functional Unit 3 provides requirements for Containment Ventilation Isolation Functions, but does not explicitly provide requirements for the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays Function that result in closure of the containment purge supply and vent isolation valves. ITS 3.3.6, "Containment Purge and Vent Isolation Instrumentation," requires the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays (Function 1) to be OPERABLE, provides appropriate ACTIONS if the Function is inoperable (ITS 3.3.6 ACTIONS B and C), and provides a Surveillance Requirement (ITS SR 3.3.6.2) to ensure the proper functioning of the associated actuation logic relays. This changes the CTS by explicitly requiring the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays Function for the Containment Purge and Vent System isolation instrumentation to be OPERABLE and providing appropriate ACTIONS and Surveillance Requirements. SR 3.3.6.2 Table TS 3.5-4 Functional Unit 3 3.3.6 M03 CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 19 requires a Daily instrument check of the radiation monitoring system. ITS SR 3.3.6.1 requires the performance of a CHANNEL CHECK of the required containment purge and vent isolation radiation monitors every 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. This changes the CTS by requiring a check of the required containment purge and vent isolation radiation monitors more often in ITS than in CTS. SR 3.3.6.1 Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 19 3.3.6 M04 CTS 3.5.d states, in part, that in the event of subsystem instrumentation channel failure permitted by CTS 3.5.b, then Tables TS 3.5-2 through TS 3.5-5 need not be observed for approximately 4 hours0.167 days <br />0.0238 weeks <br />0.00548 months <br /> while the operable channels are tested, as long as the failed channel is blocked to prevent an unnecessary reactor trip. CTS 3.5.b states, in part, that in the event of failure of a subsystem instrumentation channel, plant operation shall be permitted to continue at RATED POWER in accordance with Tables TS 3.5-2 through TS 3.5-5. ITS 3.3.6 does not contain this allowance. This changes the CTS by removing the allowance to block a failed channel.

Since there is no time limit to attain HOT SHUTDOWN, KPS uses the time limit from CTS 3.0.c. CTS LCO 3.0.c requires that within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> action shall be initiated to place the unit in at least HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) within the next 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) within the following 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />. ITS 3.3.6 references ITS 3.3.2 for the appropriate requirements for the Containment Isolation - Manual Initiation Function. ITS 3.3.2, which requires two Containment Isolation - Manual Initiation channels to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, does not provide any ACTIONS to take when both Containment Isolation - Manual Initiation channels are inoperable. Therefore, ITS LCO 3.0.3 would be entered, which requires actions to be taken within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to be in MODE 3 within 7 hours0.292 days <br />0.0417 weeks <br />0.00959 months <br />, to be in MODE 4 within 13 hours0.542 days <br />0.0774 weeks <br />0.0178 months <br />, and to be in MODE 5 within 37 hours1.542 days <br />0.22 weeks <br />0.0507 months <br />. This changes the CTS by allowing less time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN (ITS MODE 3) in the ITS than in the CTS (7 hours0.292 days <br />0.0417 weeks <br />0.00959 months <br /> in the ITS versus 13 hours0.542 days <br />0.0774 weeks <br />0.0178 months <br /> in the CTS) and by requiring the unit to go to MODE 5 in lieu of MODE 3. LCO 3.0.3 Table TS 3.5.4-1 Functional Unit 1.b 3.3.7 M01 The CTS 3.12.a Applicability of the Control Room Post-Accident Recirculation (CRPAR) System is that the reactor shall not be made critical unless both trains of the CRPAR System are OPERABLE. When one inoperable train is not restored in 7 days, CTS 3.12.b requires the unit to be shutdown (i.e., non-critical or ITS equivalent MODE 3) in 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. Since the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays and the Control Room Vent Radiation Monitor support OPERABILITY of the CRPAR System, the Applicability of the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays and the Control Room Vent Radiation Monitor are the same as the CRPAR System - they are only required in the OPERATING and HOT STANDBY MODES (ITS equivalent MODES 1 and 2). ITS Table 3.3.7-1, in part, requires the 3.3.7 ACTION B, 3.3.7 ACTION C, Table 3.3.7-1 Function 1 and 2 3.12.a, 3.12.b Table M - More Restrictive Changes

Consistent with this change in Applicability, the following changes and additions regarding actions taken when one or both trains of the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays or the Control Room Vent Radiation Monitor is inoperable: a) When one train of Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays is inoperable in MODE 3 or 4, ITS 3.3.7 ACTION A will require placing the associated CRPAR train in the emergency mode within 7 days; b) When both trains of Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays or the Control Room Vent Radiation Monitor is inoperable in MODE 3 or 4, ITS 3.3.7 ACTION B requires either placing one CRPAR train in the emergency mode and declaring the other CRPAR train inoperable (and entering the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of ITS 3.7.10) immediately, or placing both CRPAR trains in the emergency mode immediately; and c) If either ACTION A or B is not met in MODE 3 or 4, or a unit shutdown is required while the unit is in MODE 1 or 2, ITS 3.3.7 Required Action C.2 requires the unit to be in MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />.
Furthermore, Required Action C.1 only provides 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> to be in MODE 3. This changes the CTS by requiring the Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays and the Control Room Vent Radiation Moni tor to be OPERABLE in MODES 3 and 4, providing ACTIONS to take when the instruments are inoperable in MODES 3 and 4, decreases the time to reach subcritical conditions (i.e., MODE 3) from 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> to 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, and provides a Required Action (Required Action C.2) to place the unit outside the new Applicability.

ITS 3.4.4 requires two RCS loops to be OPERABLE and in operation in MODE 1 (equivalent to CTS OPERATING) and MODE 2 (equivalent to CTS HOT STANDBY). Furthermore, in the event there are less than two reactor coolant pumps operating, CTS 3.1.a.1.B does not contain any actions to be taken; CTS 3.0.c would be entered.

ITS 3.4.5 requires two RCS loops to be OPERABLE. OPERABILITY of an RCS loop is defined in the ITS Bases as an OPERABLE RCP and one OPERABLE steam generator, and an OPERABLE RCP is OPERABLE if it is capable of being powered and able to provide forced flow.
Thus, to ensure the RCP loops are OPERABLE, ITS SR 3.4.5.2 requires verification of steam generator secondary side water levels are 5% for required RCS loops every 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />. ITS SR 3.4.5.3 requires verification that each required RCP is OPERABLE every 7 days by verifying correct breaker alignment and indicated power are available to each required pump.

Furthermore, when a unit shutdown is required by CTS 3.1.a.5.A, the unit is required to be shut down to HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3). ITS 3.4.11 requires the PORVs and associated block valves to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3. Consistent with the change in Applicability, the requirement to be in MODE 4 within 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> is added to all cases where a unit shutdown is required as indicated in Required Actions D.2, E.4, and G.2.

However, the CTS does not provide any Surveillance Requirement to periodically verify this alignment. ITS SR 3.4.12.1 requires verification that the RHR suction valves are open for each RHR suction flow path every 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br />.

ITS SR 3.4.14.1, which performs similar leakage testing, requires the testing to be performed prior to entering MODES 1 and 2 (i.e., the Note to the SR states it is required to be performed in MODES 1 and 2, which means that it has to be current prior to entering those MODES). This changes the CTS by requiring the RCS PIV leakage testing Surveillance to be current prior to entering MODE 2, in lieu of prior to entering MODE 1. SR 3.4.14.1 4.2.a.3.a 3.4.14 M03 CTS 4.5.b.2.F requires testing the RHR System valve interlocks once per operating cycle. ITS SR 3.4.14.2 requires a similar test, but includes the specific method for performing the test (using a simulated or actual RCS pressure signal) and the actual pressure value the interlocks must function ( 450 psig). This changes the CTS by adding the specific method and setpoint for the RHR System interlock function Surveillance. SR 3.4.14.2 4.5.b.2.F 3.4.15 M01 The CTS Applicability of the RCS leak detection system is when the reactor is critical and above 2% power (equivalent to ITS MODE 1 and part of MODE 2). ITS 3.4.15 requires the RCS leakage detection instrumentation to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.

ITS 3.4.16 Applicability, with TSTF-490-A incorporated, requires the RCS DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 and RCS DOSE EQUIVALENT XE-133 specific activity to be within limits during MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4. In addition, when a unit shutdown is required by CTS 3.1.c.2.A and CTS 3.1.c.2.B, the CTS requires the unit to be in INTERMEDIATE SHUTDOWN with an av erage coolant temperature of < 500°F within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />. ITS 3.4.16 Required Action C.1 requires the unit to be in MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and Required Action C.2 requires the unit to be in MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />. This changes the CTS by applying the LCO in more MODES in ITS than in CTS and by adding commensurate Required Actions to exit the new Applicability. 3.4.16 Applicability, 3.4.16 ACTION C 3.1.c.2 3.4.16 M02 CTS Table TS 4.1-2 Item 1.b requires the performance of a DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 concentration test of the reactor coolant sample every 14 days when in the OPERATING MODE (i.e., ITS MODE 1).

ITS 3.5.1 is applicable in MODES 1 and 2 and MODE 3 with RCS pressure > 1000 psig. Thus, ITS 3.5.1 ACTIONS A and B must be entered if an accumulator is inoperable in MODES 1 and 2 and MODE 3 with RCS pressure > 1000 psig.

- 235 - ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 3.6.2 M01 CTS 3.6.a, which provides the requirements for the containment air locks, does not include any requirements for the interlock mechanisms. ITS LCO 3.6.2 states that two containment air locks shall be OPERABLE. One of the required aspects of containment air lock OPERABILITY is that the interlock mechanism, which ensures only one door in each air lock can be opened at a time, is OPERABLE. If the mechanism is inoperable, a new ACTION has been added (ITS 3.6.2 ACTION B),
which requires: a) verifying an OPERABLE door is closed in the affected air lock within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />; b) locking an OPERABLE door closed in the affected air lock within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br />; and c) verifying an OPERABLE door is locked closed in the affected air lock once per 31 days. A Note allows this specific Required Action to be met by administrative means if the air lock doors are in high radiation areas. Furthermore, ITS 3.6.2 ACTION B includes two Notes, one which states that the three Required Actions do not have to be met if both doors in the same air lock are inoperable and Condition C is entered and the second which allows entry and exit of containment under the control of a dedicated individual. Also, as Noted in ACTIONS Note 2, ITS 3.6.2 ACTION B allows separate Condition entry for each air lock (i.e., ACTION B is to be taken on a per air lock basis). If ITS 3.6.2 ACTION B is not met, then ITS 3.6.2 ACTION D must be entered, which requires a unit shutdown to MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />. In addition, SR 3.6.2.2 has been added to ensure the interlock mechanism is tested every 18 months. This changes the CTS by requiring the interlock mechanism for each containment air lock to be
OPERABLE, providing appropriate ACTIONS if not OPERABLE, and providing a Surveillance Requirement to periodically test the interlock mechanisms.

This changes the CTS by providing specific Shutdown ACTIONS when an air lock is not restored within the allowed Completion Time and by reducing the amount of time allowed to shutdown the unit to MODE 3 (from 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> to 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />) and MODE 5 is (from 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> to 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />). 3.6.2 ACTION D 3.0.c 3.6.3 M01 CTS 3.6.b.4 provides the shutdown actions if the OPERABILITY requirements of CTS 3.6.b.3 are not met within the specified times when containment system integrity is required, and requires action to be initiated to be in HOT STANDBY (equivalent to ITS MODE 2) within the next 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, in HOT SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 3) with the following 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />, and in COLD SHUTDOWN (equivalent to ITS MODE 5) within the subsequent 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />. Under similar conditions, ITS 3.6.3 ACTION E requires the unit to be in MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />.

ITS SR 3.6.3.5 requires verification
that the isolation time of each automatic power operated containment isolation valve is within limits in accordance with the Inservice Testing (IST) Program. This changes the CTS by adding a specific Surveillance Requirement to verify the isolation time of each power operated automatic containment isolation valve. SR 3.6.3.5 None 3.6.3 M03 CTS 4.4.f.2 only require the 2 inch containment vent isolation valves to be closed (except when the 2 inch valves are open for pressure control, ALARA, or air quality considerations for personnel entry) when the reactor is critical. ITS SR 3.6.3.2 will require the valves to be closed (except the 2 inch valves which are allowed to be open for similar reasons as in CTS 4.4.f.2) in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. This changes the CTS by requiring the 2 inch containment vent isolation valves to be closed (except when the 2 inch valves are open for pressure control, ALARA, or air quality considerations for personnel entry) in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.

ITS LCO 3.6.4 requires the containment pressure to be >
0.0 psig and < 2.0 psig. This changes the CTS by requiring containment pressure be maintained greater than or equal to a minimum pressure limit. LCO 3.6.4 None 3.6.4 M02 CTS 3.6.d does not provide any Applicability requirements for the containment pressure limit, but does provide actions to be taken if the internal pressure of the reactor containment vessel exceeds 2 psig. If the internal pressure is not restored within the limit, then the unit must be placed in the subcritical condition (equivalent to ITS MODE 3). Thus, the effective Applicability for the containment pressure limit is when the reactor is critical. ITS 3.6.4 requires the containment pressure limits to be met in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. Consistent with the change in Applicability, the requirement to be in MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br /> is added as indicated in ITS 3.6.4 Required Action B.2. This changes the CTS by requiring the containment pressure to be within limits in MODES 3 and 4 and providing a Required Action to place the unit outside the Applicability.
3.6.4 Applicability, 3.6.4 Required Action B.2 3.6.d 3.6.4 M03 CTS 3.6.d provides the actions to be taken if the internal pressure of the reactor containment vessel exceeds 2 psig, and states, in part, that containment pressure must be returned to within limits within 8 hours0.333 days <br />0.0476 weeks <br />0.011 months <br />. Under similar conditions, ITS 3.6.4 ACTION A requires that containment pressure be restored to within limits in one hour. This changes the CTS by decreasing the amount of time provided to restore containment pressure from 8 hours0.333 days <br />0.0476 weeks <br />0.011 months <br /> to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. 3.6.4 ACTION A 3.6.d 3.6.4 M04 CTS 3.6.d provides the actions to be taken if the internal pressure of the reactor containment vessel exceeds 2 psig, and states, in part, that when a shutdown is required to place the reactor in a subcritical condition (equivalent to ITS MODE 3). However, no finite time to complete this action is provided. Under similar conditions, ITS 3.6.4 ACTION B requires the unit to be in MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> (Required Action B.1).

The ITS adds a Surveillance Requirement (SR 3.6.7.1) to verify that each spray additive manual, power operated, and automatic valve in the flow path that is not locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in placed is in the correct position every 31 days. CTS 4.5 does not provide a Surveillance Requirement to verify the spray additive tank solution is greater than or equal to 300 gallons. The ITS adds Surveillance Requirement (SR 3.6.7.2) to verify the spray additive tank solution is greater than or equal to 300 gallons every 184 days. CTS 4.5 does not provide a Surveillance Requirement to verify that the caustic additive standpipe NaOH solution concentration is greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 38% by weight. The ITS adds a Surveillance Requirement (SR 3.6.7.3) to verify that the caustic additive standpipe NaOH solution concentration is greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 38% by weight every 184 days. This changes the CTS by adding new Surveillance Requirements to the Technical Specifications.
Furthermore, it changes the CTS by adding an upper limit for the weight % of NaOH.

Under similar conditions, ITS 3.6.10 ACTION B requires the unit be in MODE 3 within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and in MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />. This changes the CTS by allowing 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> to reach MODE 3 instead of the 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> allowed in the CTS. Additionally, it adds a new requirement to be in MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br /> that was not required in the CTS. 3.6.10 ACTION B 3.6.c.1 3.7.1 M01 CTS 3.4.a.3 states that with one or more MSSVs inoperable, they must be returned to OPERABLE status within 48 hours2 days <br />0.286 weeks <br />0.0658 months <br /> or a unit shutdown is required.

Furthermore, if there are one or more steam generators with 4 or more inoperable MSSVs, ITS 3.7.1 ACTION C will require an immediate unit shutdown.

However, as long as two MSSVs per steam generator are OPERABLE, only a unit shutdown to HOT SHUTDOWN is required, since CTS 3.4.a only requires two MSSVs when not critical and Reactor Coolant System temperature > 350ºF. The unit is only required to be cooled down to
< 350ºF when there are less than two MSSVs per steam generator. ITS 3.7.1 ACTION B provides the shutdown requi rements when two or more MSSVs per steam generator are inoperable or one or more steam generators with one MSSV inoperable, and the MTC positive at any power level.

ITS 3.7.4 requires the PORVs to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3, and MODE 4 when steam generator is relied upon for heat removal. This changes the CTS by incorporating the requirements of ITS 3.7.4. The ITS also provides Actions when one or both SG PORVs are inoperable (ACTIONS A, B, and C) and a Surveillance Requirement (SR 3.7.4.1) to verify one complete cycle of each SG PORV in accordance with the IST Program. 3.7.4 None 3.7.5 M01 The CTS requirements on the Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System are applicable when the Reactor Coolant System is > 350ºF. ITS 3.7.5 is applicable in MODES 1, 2, 3, (equivalent to the CTS Applicability) and, in addition, MODE 4 when the steam generator is relied upon for heat removal. This changes the CTS by adding the MODE of Applicability requirement. To support this change in the Applicability, the following additional requirements are added to the CTS:
- A Note is added to the LCO that requires only one AFW train, which includes a motor driven pump, to be OPERABLE in MODE 4;
- A new ACTION F is added which requires immediate action to restore a required AFW train to OPERABLE status when the steam generator (SG) is relied upon for heat removal in MODE 4;
- ITS 3.7.5 Required Action D.2 has been added to require the unit to be in MODE 4 within 18 hours0.75 days <br />0.107 weeks <br />0.0247 months <br /> whenever a unit shutdown is required; and
- CTS 4.8.a, b, and c (SR 3.7.5.2 and SR 3.7.5.3) which are applicable when the Reactor Coolant System is > 350ºF, are now also applicable in MODE 4 when the SG is relied upon for heat removal for the required AFW train.
- These changes are acceptable because the AFW system may be needed in MODE 4 if the residual heat removal (RHR) loop has not yet been placed in service. ITS 3.4.6, "RCS Loops - MODE 4," includes requirements for OPERABLE steam generators, thus a required AFW train must be OPERABLE to ensure the steam generators have a source of feedwater.

In the ITS, this is MODES 1 and 2. Also, CTS 3.3.d.2 provides actions when a CC train is inoperable during power operation or recovery from an inadvertent trip. ITS 3.7.7 requires the CC System to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. Thus, ITS 3.7.7 ACTION A must be entered if a CC train is inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4. In addition, when a CC train is inoperable and a unit shutdown is required, CTS 3.3.d.2 requires the unit to reduce RCS Tavg to < 350ºF (ITS equivalent MODE 4) within an additional 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br /> (after the time to reach HOT STANDBY and HOT SHUTDOWN). Consistent with the change in Applicability, the requirement to be in MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br /> is added as indicated in ITS 3.7.7 Required Action B.2. This changes the CTS by requiring the CC System to be OPERABLE in MODES 3 and 4, requiring actions to be taken in MODES 3 and 4, and providing a Required Action to place the unit outside the Applicability.

In the ITS, this is MODES 1 and 2. Also, CTS 3.3.e.2 provides actions when a SW train is inoperable during power operation or recovery from an inadvertent trip. ITS 3.7.8 requires the SW System to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. Thus, ITS 3.7.7 ACTION A must be entered if a SW train is inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4. In addition, when an SW train is inoperable and a unit shutdown is required, CTS 3.3.e.2 requires the
unit to reduce RCS Tavg to < 350ºF (ITS equivalent MODE 4) within an additional 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br /> (after the time to reach HOT STANDBY and HOT SHUTDOWN). Consistent with the change in Applicability, the requirement to be in MODE 5 within 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br /> is added as indicated in ITS 3.7.8 Required Action B.2. This changes the CTS by requiring the SW System to be OPERABLE in MODES 3 and 4, requiring actions to be taken in MODES 3 and 4, and providing a Required Action to place the unit outside the Applicability.

each SW manual, power operated, and automatic valve in the flow path servicing safety related equipment, that is not locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, is in the correct position once every 31 days. The SR is also modified by a Note clarifying that isolation of SW flow to individual components does not render the SW System inoperable. CTS 3.3.e does not provide a Surveillance Requirement to verify each SW automatic valve in the flow path that is not locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, actuates to the correct position on an actual or simulated actuation signal. The ITS adds a Surveillance Requirement (SR 3.7.8.2) to verify each SW automatic valve in the flow path that is not locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, actuates to the correct position on an actual or simulated actuation signal once every 18 months. It is modified by a Note that allows the turbine building isolation valve actuation to not be required if the valve is closed and deactivated. This allowance is consistent with CTS 3.3.e.1.A.3. CTS 3.3.e does not provide a Surveillance Requirement to verify each SW pump starts automatically on an actual or simulated actuation signal.

3.7.16 Required Action A.1 3.4.d.3 3.8.1 M01 CTS 3.7.a requires the AC sources to be OPERABLE when the reactor is critical. In addition, CTS 3.7.b provides actions when an offsite circuit and diesel generators are inoperable during power operation or recovery from an inadvertent trip. When the restoration times of CTS 3.7.b.1, 2. or 7 are not met, CTS 3.7.b requires the unit
to be in HOT STANDBY (ITS MODE 2) in 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br />. ITS LCO 3.8.1 requires the AC sources to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4. Thus ITS 3.8.1 ACTIONS A, B and E (as applicable) must be entered if an offsite circuit or diesel generators are inoperable in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. This changes the CTS by requiring the AC sources to be OPERABLE in MODES 3 and 4 and commensurate ACTIONS to cover the new Applicability.
3.8.1 Applicability, 3.8.1 ACTIONS A, B, and E 3.7.a, 3.7.b 3.8.1 M02 CTS 3.7.b.1 allows one offsite circuit to be inoperable for 7 days provided one offsite circuit is OPERABLE, but does not provide any specific requirement to determine how the other offsite circuit is OPERABLE nor how often to perform the determination. CTS 3.7.b.2 covers the condition for one inoperable DG but does not provide any Surveillance Requirement to determine whether the offsite circuits are OPERABLE. ITS 3.8.1 Required Action A.1 requires the performance of SR 3.8.1.1 (the offsite circuit verification) for the OPERABLE offsite circuit within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 8 hours0.333 days <br />0.0476 weeks <br />0.011 months <br /> thereafter when an offsite circuit is inoperable.

While CTS 4.6.a.1.A requires steady state voltage and frequency to be achieved, neither of the Surveillance Requirements specify the steady state voltage and frequency values that must be achieved by the DG. ITS SR 3.8.1.2 and ITS SR 3.8.1.16 require, in part, that each DG achieve a steady state
voltage of 4000 V and 4400 V and frequency of 60.0 Hz and 60.7 Hz. This changes the CTS by providing explicit steady state voltage and frequency limits.

ITS SR 3.8.1.3 requires a similar test; however two additional Notes have been added that place restrictions on the test. Notes 3 and 4 modify the CTS requirements by stating that the SR shall be conducted on only one DG at a time and the SR shall be preceded by and immediately follow, without a shutdown of the DG, a successful performance of ITS SR 3.8.1.2 or ITS SR 3.8.1.8. This changes the CTS by adding a restriction when performing this test.

CTS 4.6.a.4 requires performance of a DG load rejection test. ITS SR 3.8.1.16 and ITS SR 3.8.1.11, respectively, require similar tests, however ITS SR 3.8.1.16 includes a Note (Note 2) and ITS SR 3.8.1.11 includes a Note (Note 1), which state the Surveillance shall not normally be performed in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 or MODE 1 or 2, respectively. The Notes also state that the Surveillance may be performed to reestablish OPERABILITY provided an assessment determines the safety of the plant is maintained or enhanced. The Notes further state that credit may be taken for unplanned events that satisfy the SR. This changes the CTS by allowing the Surveillances to be performed in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 or MODE 1 or 2, respectively, only as long as an assessment is performed or provided that it is an unplanned event that satisfies the requirements of the SR.

ITS SR 3.8.1.10 requires verification that the frequency of each DG does not go above the specified limit during the rejection of the largest post-accident load every 18 months. ITS SR 3.8.1.12 requires the performance of a loss of offsite power initiation signal test every 18 months. ITS SR 3.8.1.14 requires a DG hot restart test every 18 months.
ITS SR 3.8.1.15 requires verification that each DG can synchronize with an offsite power source while loaded with emergency loads upon a simulated restoration of offsite power, and return to ready-to-load operation every 18 months.

If the required DG is inoperable, ITS 3.8.2 ACTION B requires the immediate suspension of certain activities (movement of irradiated fuel assemblies and operations involving positive reactivity additions that could result in loss of required SDM or boron concentration) and to initiate action to restore required DG to OPERABLE status. In addition, a Note that states LCO 3.0.3 is not applicable has been added. This change adds compensatory actions for the inoperable required AC Source.

ITS LCO 3.8.3 requires the stored diesel fuel oil to be within limits "when associated DG is required to be OPERABLE." ITS 3.8.1 requires both DGs to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 and ITS 3.8.2 requires one of the DGs to be OPERABLE in MODES 5 and 6 and during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.

ITS LCO 3.8.3, in part, requires the stored diesel fuel oil and lube oil to be within limits for each required DG. The Applicability for these requirements is when the associated DG is required to be OPERABLE. ITS SR 3.8.3.2 requires verification that the lube oil inventory is 504 gallons for each DG. ITS SR 3.8.3.3 requires verification that new and stored fuel oil properties are tested and maintained within limits, as specified in the Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program. This includes stored fuel oil total particulate level and new fuel oil properties. ITS 3.8.3 ACTION B provides an ACTION if the limit of ITS SR 3.8.3.2 is not met. ITS 3.8.3 ACTION C specifies the compensatory actions for one or more DGs with stored fuel oil total particulates not within limits. ITS 3.8.3 ACTION D specifies the compensatory actions for one or more DGs with new fuel oil properties not within limits.

In addition, CTS 3.7.a.6, which requires the batteries to be OPERABLE, states that they are not required when the tests and Surveillances of CTS 4.6.b are being performed. Thus, the CTS allows CTS 4.6.b.4 to be performed while critical. ITS SR 3.8.6.6 requires the same test, however a Note to SR3.8.6.6 specifies that this Surveillance shall not normally be performed in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Furthermore, for inoperabilities of the DC buses or of AC buses in both trains, since no actions are provided, CTS 3.0.c would also require the unit to be subcritical within a total of 13 hours0.542 days <br />0.0774 weeks <br />0.0178 months <br /> (1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to initiate action, 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> to be in HOT STANDBY (which allows the reactor to still be critical), and 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> to be in HOT SHUTDOWN (which requires the reactor to be subcritical)). ITS LCO 3.8.9 requires the Train A and B AC and DC electrical power distribution subsystems to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. When a unit shutdown is required due to inoperabilities of the AC or DC buses, ITS 3.8.9 ACTION D requires the unit to be in MODE 3 (CTS equivalent HOT SHUTDOWN) within 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and in MODE 5 (CTS equivalent COLD SHUTDOWN) in 36 hours1.5 days <br />0.214 weeks <br />0.0493 months <br />.
This changes the CTS by requiring the Train A and B AC and DC electrical power distribution subsystems to be OPERABLE in MODES 3 and 4 and in MODE 2 when the reactor is not critical and provides commensurate ACTIONS to cover the new Applicability.
3.8.9 Applicability, 3.8.9 ACTION D 3.7.a, 3.7.b 3.8.9 M02 The CTS does not specify requirements for AC instrument electrical power distribution subsystems to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. ITS 3.8.9, in part, requires the Train A and Train B AC instrument bus electrical power distribution power subsystems to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. Appropriate ACTIONS (B and E, including an ACTIONS Note) and a Surveillance Requirement (SR 3.8.9.1) are also provided. This changes the CTS by incorporating these ITS 3.8.9 requirements.

ITS 3.8.9 Required Action A.1 allows 8 hours0.333 days <br />0.0476 weeks <br />0.011 months <br /> to restore the Train A and Train B AC electrical power distribution subsystem(s) to OPERABLE status. In addition, a Note has been added (ITS 3.8.9, Note to ACTION A) that requires entry into applicable Conditions and Required Action of LCO 3.8.4, "DC Sources - Operating," for DC Sources made inoperable by inoperable power distribution subsystems.
Furthermore, if redundant AC buses are inoperable, ITS 3.8.9 ACTION E will require entry into LCO 3.0.3, which will then require a unit shutdown, consistent with the current CTS 3.7.b.6 requirement. This changes the CTS by reducing the time the unit can operate with one or more AC buses inoperable and by requiring the compensatory actions for DC Sources to be taken immediately if a DC Source is made inoperable by inoperable AC power distribution subsystems.

contained within the CTS. 3.9.1 Applicability 3.8.a.5 3.9.1 M02 CTS 3.8.a.5 states, in part, that a minimum boron concentration as specified in the COLR shall be maintained in the Reactor Coolant System. ITS LCO 3.9.1 states, in part, that the boron concentrations of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS), the fuel transfer canal, and the refueling cavity shall be maintained within the limit specified in the COLR. ITS 3.9.1 Applicability contains a NOTE that states the LCO is only applicable to the fuel transfer canal and the refueling cavity when connected to the RCS. This changes the CTS by including the boron concentration of the fuel transfer canal and the refueling cavity in the LCO and adds a NOTE to the Applicability stating that the LCO is only applicable to the fuel transfer canal and the refueling cavity when connected to the RCS. LCO 3.9.1 and Applicability Note 3.8.a.5 3.9.1 M03 CTS 5.4.a.3 does not provide any ACTIONS to take when the spent fuel pool boron concentration is not within limit during REFUELING OPERATIONS. When the spent fuel pool boron concentration is not within limit, ITS 3.9.1 ACTION A requires the immediate suspension of positive reactivity additions and immediate action to restore the boron concentration to within limit. This changes the CTS by providing specific ACTIONS when the spent fuel pool boron concentration is not within limit during refueling operations (i.e., in MODE 6 when connected to the RCS). 3.9.1 ACTION A None 3.9.2 M01 CTS 3.8.a is applicable during REFUELING OPERATIONS. CTS 3.8.a.3 also states, in part, that core subcritical neutron flux shall be monitored by two neutron monitors when core geometry is being changed. When core geometry is not being changed, only one is required. ITS 3.9.2 is applicable at all times while in MODE 6.
This changes the CTS by requiring the core subcritical neutron flux to be monitored by two neutron monitors at all times while in MODE 6 and not just during those times when core geometry is being changed. 3.9.2 Applicability 3.8.a, 3.8.a.3 Table M - More Restrictive Changes

When one source range neutron flux monitor is inoperable, ITS 3.9.2 ACTION A requires an action similar to the first action of CTS 3.8.b, (Required Action A.1), but also includes an additional action to be taken. ITS 3.9.2 Required Action A.2 also requires immediate suspension of operations that would cause introduction of coolant into the RCS with a boron concentration less than required to meet the boron concentration of LCO 3.9.1.
When both source range neutron flux monitors are inoperable, in addition to ITS 3.9.2 ACTION A, ITS 3.9.2 ACTION B requires immediately initiating action to restore one source range neutron flux monitor to OPERABLE status (Required Action B.1) and performing SR 3.9.1.1 once per 12 hours0.5 days <br />0.0714 weeks <br />0.0164 months <br /> (Required Action B.2). When the audible count rate circuit is inoperable, ITS 3.9.2 ACTION C requires immediately initiating action to isolate unborated water sources (Required Action C.1).

ITS SR 3.9.2.2 requires a CHANNEL CALIBRATION of the Nuclear Instrumentation (source range neutron flux monitors) every 18 months. SR 3.9.2.2 also contains a NOTE excluding the neutron detectors from the CHANNEL CALIBRATION.

In addition, CTS 3.8.a.4 requires one RHR pump to be OPERABLE during REFUELING OPERATIONS (which is defined as movement of reactor vessel internal components that could affect the reactivity of the core within the containment when the reactor head is unbolted or removed). If this requirement is not met, CTS 3.8.b requires refueling of the reactor to cease, initiation of action to restore the RHR pump to OPERABLE status, and no operations be performed that could increase the reactivity of the core.
Under similar conditions, ITS 3.9.3 ACTION A requires an action similar to CTS 3.1.a.2.B.2 and the second action of CTS 3.8.b, (Required Action A.3) and an action similar to the first action of CTS 3.8.b (Required Action A.2), but also includes additional actions to be taken.

As a result, CTS 3.0.c would normally be entered. However, LCO 3.0.c states that it is not applicable in COLD SHUTDOWN or REFUELING. Since the RHR pump only has to be in operation when a reduction in boron concentration is being made, and for this Specification, the unit is already in MODE 6, the CTS does not provide any compensatory

5.5.8 6.15 5.5 M06 CTS 6.15, Secondary Water Chemistry Program, does not contain specific control mechanisms for monitoring the secondary water chemistry. It only provides a general description that secondary water chemistry program shall act as a guide for the chemistry group in their routine as well as non-routine activities. ITS 5.5.8 includes specific control mechanisms that shall be included in the program. This changes the CTS by adding additional details regarding what is to be included in the Secondary Water Chemistry Program.

ITS 5.5.10 requires a program to provide controls for potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the Gaseous Radioactive Waste Disposal System, the quantity of radioactivity contained in gas storage tanks or fed into the offgas treatment system, and the quantity of radioactivity contained in unprotected outdoor liquid storage tanks. This changes the CTS by incorporating the requirements of ITS 5.5.10.

This changes the CTS by adding the ITS 5.5.15, "Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program." 5.5.15 None 5.5 M11 The CTS does not have a program for Setpoint Control. ISTS 5.5.18 (ITS 5.5.16) requires a program to satisfy the regulatory requirement of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(ii)(A) that Technical Specifications will include items in the category of limiting safety system settings (LSSS), which are settings for automatic protective devices related to those variables having significant safety functions. This changes the CTS by incorporating the requirements of ISTS 5.5.18 (ITS 5.5.16).
5.5.16 None 5.5 M12 CTS 6.20 states that the peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident is less than the containment internal test pressure. The containment internal test pressure is defined as P a in the CTS. ITS 5.5.14.b contains a specific value for the calculated peak containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident and the containment design pressure. The calculated peak containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident is defined as P a in the ITS. This changes the CTS by adding a specific value for the calculated peak containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident and a value for the containment design pressure.

However, no specific value of the various Ventilation System design flow rates is provided. ITS 5.5.9.a, b, d, and e require performance of similar Ventilation System filter tests, and include the specific value of the design flow rate for each required Ventilation System. This changes the CTS by adding the specific design flow rate values into the filter test requirements of

- 282 - ITS/CTS No. and DOC No. Description of Change ITS Requirement CTS Requirement 5.7 M02 CTS 6.13.a.2 states that one of the optional criteria that allows entry into a high radiation area is a radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received. It further states that entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate level in the area has been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them. ITS 5.7.1.e and ITS 5.7.2.e include a similar requirement, but also require that the continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre-job briefing prior to entry into such areas, and that the dose rate determination, knowledge, and pre-job briefing do not require documentation prior to initial entry. This changes the CTS by expanding the requirement to apply to all the options for conditions allowing entry into a high radiation area, and adding the criteria that the continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre-job briefing prior to entry into such areas and that the dose rate determination, knowledge, and pre-job briefing do not require documentation prior to initial entry. 5.7.1.e, 5.7.2.e 6.13.a.2 Table R - Relocated Specifications

The purpose for a boric acid flow path is for control of the chemical neutron absorber (boron) concentration in the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and to help maintain the SHUTDOWN MARGIN. To accomplish this, the CTS requires at least one flow path to the core for boric acid injection. The Chemical and Volume Control System is not assumed to be OPERABLE to mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident (DBA) or transient. In the case of a malfunction of the CVCS, which causes a boron dilution event, the automatic response, or that required by the operator, is to close the appropriate valves in the reactor makeup system. This action is required before the shutdown margin is lost. Operation of the boration subsystem is not assumed to mitigate this event (KPS USAR Section 14.1.4). The ITS does not include this Specification.

Each individual post accident monitoring parameter has a specific purpose; however, the general purpose for all accident monitoring instrumentation is to ensure sufficient information is available following an accident to allow an operator to verify the response of automatic safety systems, and to take preplanned manual actions to accomplish a safe shutdown of the plant.
The NRC position on application of the screening criteria to post-accident monitoring instrumentation is documented in a letter dated May 9, 1988 from T.E.
Murley (NRC) to W.S. Wilgus (B&W Owners Group). The screening criteria are now incorporated into 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii). The NRC position taken was that the post-accident monitoring instrumentation table list should contain, on a plant specific basis, all Regulatory Guide 1.97 Type A plant instruments specified in the plant's Safety Evaluation Report (SER) on Regulatory Guide 1.97, and all Regulatory Guide 1.97 Category 1 plant instruments. Accordingly, this position has been applied to KPS Regulatory Guide 1.97 plant instruments. Those plant instruments meeting these criteria have been retained in the ITS. The instruments not meeting these criteria will be relocated from the Technical Specifications to the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM).
A review of the KPS USAR and the NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97 Safety Evaluation for KPS shows that the following CTS Table TS 3.5-6 and TS 4.1-1 Instruments do not meet Category 1 or Type A requirements. TRM 10 CFR 50.59 NA Table R - Relocated Specifications

In the event of an earthquake, seismic instrumentation is required to permit comparison of the measured response to that used in the design basis of the facility to determine if plant shutdown is required pursuant to Appendix A of 10 CFR 100. Since this is determined after the event has occurred, it has no bearing on the mitigation of any design basis accident (DBA). The ITS does not include this Specification.

instrumentation when required to monitor the flux distribution within the core. The instrumentation is used for periodic Surveillance of the reactor core power distribution, and calibration of the excore neutron flux detectors, but is not assumed in any design basis accident (DBA) analysis and does not mitigate an accident. This Specification does not meet the criteria for retention in the Improved Technical Specifications (ITS); therefore, it will be retained in the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM). TRM 10 CFR 50.59 NA 3.4 R01 CTS 3.1.a.7 CTS 3.1.a.7 provides requirements for the reactor coolant vent system. CTS 4.16 provides the testing requirements for the reactor coolant vent system. The reactor coolant vent syst em is provided to exhaust noncondensible gases and/or steam from the RCS which could inhibit natural circulation core cooling following any event involving a loss of offsite power and requiring long term cooling, such as a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Their function, capabilities, and test requirements are consistent with the requirements of Item II.B.1 of NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," however; the operation of reactor vessel head vents is not part of the primary success path. The operation of these vents is an operator action after the event has occurred, and is only required when there is indication that natural circulation is not occurring. This Specification does not meet the criteria for retention in the ITS; therefore, it will be retained in the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM).

The
limits meet the requirements given in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Appendix G. These limitations are consistent with structural analysis results. However, these limits are not initial condition assumptions of a DBA or transient. These limits represent operating restrictions and Criterion 2 includes operating restrictions. However, it should be noted that in the Final Policy Station the Criterion 2 discussion specified only those operating restrictions required to preclude unanalyzed accidents and transients be included in Technical Specifications. This Specification does not meet the criteria for retention in the ITS, therefore, it will be retained in the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM). TRM 10 CFR 50.59 NA 3.4 R01 CTS 3.1.b.3 CTS 3.1.b.3 states that the pressurizer cooldown and heatup rates shall not exceed 200ºF/hr and 100ºF/hr, respectively. It also states that the spray shall not be used if the temperature difference between the pressurizer and the spray fluid is > 320ºF. The limits meet the requirements given in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Appendix G. These limitations are consistent with structural analysis results.
However, these limits are not initial condition assumptions of a DBA or transient. These limits represent operating restrictions and Criterion 2 includes operating restrictions.

TRM 10 CFR 50.59 NA 3.4 R01 CTS 3.1.e CTS 3.1.e provides limits on the oxygen, chloride and fluoride content in the RCS. CTS Table 4.1-2 Sampling Test 1.d provides the testing requirements for the oxygen, chloride and fluoride content in the RCS. Poor coolant chemistry contributes to the long term degradation of system materials of construction, and thus is not of immediate importance to the plant operator. One reason is to reduce the possibility of failures in the Reactor Coolant System pressure
boundary caused by corrosion. However, the chemistry monitoring activity is of a long term preventative purpose rather than of a mitigative purpose. This Specification does not meet the criteria for retention in the ITS; it will be retained in the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM). TRM 10 CFR 50.59 NA 3.7 CTS 3.8.a.9 R01 3.8.a.9, 4.12 CTS 3.8.a.9 and 4.12 provide requirements on the Spent Fuel Pool Sweep System. CTS Table TS 4.1-1 Channel Description 19 (Radiation Monitors R13 and R14 only) provides the testing requirements for the Auxiliary Building Vent Monitors used to initiate closure
of the ventilation dampers for the Spent Fuel Pool Sweep System. The purpose of the Spent Fuel Pool Sweep System is to filter radioactive particulates from the area of the fuel pool. The purpose of the Auxiliary Building vent monitors is to monitor the Auxiliary Building vent flowpath on a continuous basis. The Spent Fuel Pool Sweep System and the Auxiliary Building Vent Monitors are not taken credit for in any accident analyses in the USAR.

TRM 10 CFR 50.59 NA 3.7 CTS 4.13 R01 4.13 CTS 4.13 provides the testing requirements for possession, leak test, and record requirements for radioactive material sources required for operation of the facility. The limitations of sealed source contamination are intended to ensure that the radioactive material sources are available to the facility and are free from leakage. These Surveillance Requirements bear no relation to the conditions or limitations that are necessary to ensure safe reactor operation.

TRM 10 CFR 50.59 NA 3.9 CTS 3.8.a.2 R01 3.8.a.2 CTS 3.8.a.2 provides the requirements for continuously monitoring radiation levels in the fuel handling area, the containment, and the spent fuel pool storage pool.
Since these radiation monitors do not initiate any automatic mitigation systems, they are not of prime importance in limiting the likelihood or severity of accident sequences that are commonly found to dominate risk. These monitors only provide indication of the area radiation.

This ensures that refueling station personnel can be promptly informed of significant changes in the facility status or core reactivity conditions during changes in core geometry. The prompt notification of the control room of a fuel handling accident is not an assumption in the fuel handling accident analysis. While notification is necessary to ensure that the control room is isolated to meet the control room operator dose limits in 10 CFR 50.67, the fuel handling analysis does not take credit for direct communications between the refueling station and the

The load assumed by the cranes for the test must be equal to or greater than the maximum load to be assumed by the cranes during the REFUELING OPERATIONS. CTS 3.8.a.11 also requires a thorough visual inspection of the cranes shall be made after the dead-load test and prior to fuel handling. This Specification ensures the lifting device on the Manipulator Crane has adequate capacity to lift the weight of a fuel assembly and a Rod Control Cluster Assembly, and that an automatic load limiting device is available to prevent damage to the fuel assembly during fuel movement. This Specification also ensures the auxiliary hoist on the Manipulator Crane has adequate capacity for latching and unlatching control rod drive shafts. CTS Table TS 4.1-3, Equipment Test 5 requires the Refueling System Interlocks to be tested each Refueling Outage. This test ensures the other manipulator crane interlocks (e.g.,
ensuring only one component can be moved at one time) are OPERABLE. In addition, the testing is modified by Table TS 4.1-3 Note 1, which also requires the test to be performed following maintenance that could affect the operation of the refueling interlocks.
