~~L-99-216 Attachment Page1of5 Attachment During telephone conversations with the NRC, the staff requested additional information regarding the One Time Only Proposed License Amendment for Unit 3 Cycle 17 Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG)Allowed Outage Time (AOT)Extension submitted on July 27, 1999.The following provides additional information to clarify the above referenced submittal:

Discuss tlie standards or processes by which the FPL Reliability Risk Assessment Group (RRAG)controlled modifications to the Turkey Point Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA)models in 1993, 1994, aird 1995.Do the standards or processes include 10 CFR Appendix B reqriirements or other requirements?

Also, discuss the processes employed to assure quality of the baseline PSA including internal or external peer reviews and any follow up to the review findings.Since the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)approved the Individual Plant Examination (IPE)on October 15, 1992, the Turkey Point PSA model was updated in 1993, 1995, and 1997.The first update to the Turkey Point PSA models was performed by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)contractors in 1993.For the subsequent updates, FPL adapted SAIC's processes into FPL standards (desktop procedures).

Since the approval of the IPE, the FPL RRAG has maintained the (PSA)models consistent with the current plant configuration such that they are considered"living" PSA models.The PSA models are updated for different reasons, including plant changes and modifications, procedure changes, accrual of new plant data, discovery of modeling errors, advances in PSA technology, and issuance of new industry/PSA standards.

The update process ensures that the applicable changes are implemented and documented in a timely manner to ensure that risk analyses performed in support of plant operation reflect the plant configuration, operating philosophy, and transient and component failure history.The PSA maintenance and update process is described in detail in the FPL RRAG Standard STD-R-002, PSA Update and Maintenance Procedure.

Standard STD-R-002 defines two different types of periodic updates: 1)a data analysis update, and 2)a model update.The data analysis update is performed every five years.Model updates consist of either single or multiple PSA changes and are performed at a frequency dependent on the estimated impact of the accumulated changes.Guidelines to determine the need for a model update are provided in the standard.The RRAG is part of the FPL Engineering department with procedures in accordance with the Engineering Department's Quality Instructions.

Procedures, risk assessment documentation and associated records are controlled and retained as QA records.

~>99-2'1 6 Attachment Page 2 of 5 The original development of PSA was classified and performed as Quality-Related under the FPL 10 CFR Appendix B quality assurance program.Subsequent data updates and risk assessments were performed using PSA methods and models.The revisions and applications of the PSA models and associated databases continued to be handled as Quality-Related.

This includes PSA specific procedures and follows the independent review process for all model changes and applications.

Risk assessments are performed by one individual, independently reviewed by another, and approved by the Department Head or designee.The computer soAware is also controlled and maintained (classified as Quality-Related) under the quality assurance program with procedures in accordance with the Engineering's Quality Instructions, RRAG's standard STD-R-001, PSA Sofbvare Control Procedure, provides guidance for computer sofbvare control and establishes specific requirements for the use of PSA software, the completion of the associated documentation, and directions on processing changes to software and hardware.Furthermore, it documents the RRAG policy on PSA sofbvare safety classification, 10 CFR 50.59 applicability, soAware deficiency resolution, training requirements, verification and validation requirements, control of batch files and macros, and Quality Assurance (QA)controls for PSA processes and outputs.Standard STD-R-001 provides the policy on QA control of the PSA processes and outputs.QA requirements for Quality-Related PSA analytical processes and output documents consist of controlling PSA software as required by Standard STD-R-001 and requiring independent review of all aspects of the model development and its Quality Related applications.

Model developments and updates are documented in reports and sent to Document Control.Compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B consists of: 1)controlling software used for PSA model development and for applications which are Quality-Related as defined in STD-R-001, and 2)requiring independent reviews of each subtask while developing/revising the PSA model, and of each Quality-Related application thereafter.

The Turkey Point PSA baseline model is an updated version of the original Turkey Point IPE submittal.

Prior to the IPE being submitted to the NRC, a peer review was conducted by an outside contractor.

All review findings were addressed prior to the IPE submittal to NRC.The Turkey Point IPE was submitted to the NRC on June 25, 1991.It was reviewed extensively by the NRC and NRC contractors.

It received"Step 1" and"Step 2" reviews.Following the reviews, the Turkey Point IPE was revised in 1992.FPL received the NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER)for the Turkey Point IPE on October 15, 1992.The NRC concluded that the process used to develop the Turkey Point PSA was acceptable in meeting the intent of Generic Letter 88-20.

~~4 L-99-216 Attachment Page 3 of 5 There have been no additional external peer reviews because the changes that were implemented are considered not extensive.

However, all updates completed since the initial IPE submittal have been reviewed, independently verified, and documented via Engineering calculations and Engineering Evaluations in accordance with the FPL Engineering Department's Quality Instructions and RRAG standards.

Turkey Point intends to participate in the Westinghouse Owners Group Industry Certification program to be scheduled in 2001.2.Discuss the RRAG's software validation and verification for quality assurance.

Do the procedures conform to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B requirenients or other requirements?

All programs that process PSA model inputs are verified and validated as needed.The RRAG policy on verification and validation of QA controlled/procured software, as well as the verification and validation for sofbvare and computers when used for Quality-Related applications is described in RRAG Standard STD-R-001.

Sofbvare verification is the process used to ensure the sofbvare meets the software requirement specifications.

The PSA software that is procured with a QA option and is developed under a 10 CFR 50 Appendix B QA program does not require further software verification by the RRAG.However, PSA software which is not procured with a QA option can be verified by comparison of results to previously approved software.Validation of software is performed for different conditions such as: 1)a new installation of sofbvare, 2)any new database or configuration file changes issued by the RRAG, 3)unreasonable results, 4)computer configuration (software, hardware), and 5)use of software for Quality-Related applications for the first time.Validation requirements for each Quality Related PSA program are documented in a Software Verification/Validation Plan (SVVP)procedure.

These requirements include the method of validation, the frequency of validation, the documentation required and the acceptance criteria.A SVVP procedure is submitted for each program.Actual validation benchmark problems can exercise more than one program, but a separate Software Verification/

Validation Report (SVVR)must be submitted for each program.Each SVVP procedure and SVVR is independently reviewed and then approved by the RRAG supervisor.

Software validation tests both the soAware and the hardware.Validation tests are also performed following any significant change in the hardware, operating system, or program or if the validation period established in the SVVP procedure expires.Sample formats for the SVVP and SVVR are provided in the Engineering Quality Instruction (conforming to the pertinent 10 CFR 50 Appendix B requirements) for computer software control.

L-99-216 Attachment Page4of5 3.In the Tier 2 discussion, it is stated that on line replacement of the radiators will not be scheduled during the South Florida liurri cane season and that the 1999 South Florida hurricane season begins on June 1 and ends on November 30.Explain the possible intent to replace the radiators on-line during Novetnber.

There is no intent to replace the EDG radiators during the month of November 1999.4.Additional information on compensatory actions FPL will be taking various compensatory actions to minimize the potential for a Loss of Offsite Power event (LOOP)during the 7-day EDG outage.The potential for an external, weather-related LOOP event to occur during the proposed 7-day EDG outage will be minimized by scheduling the radiator replacement activity outside the South Florida Hurricane season, or when no adverse weather is expected.Therefore, voluntary entry into an LCO action statement will not be scheduled when adverse weather is expected.The stability of the offsite electrical distribution system will be considered by notifying in advance the appropriate system personnel for the 7-day EDG outage.Specifically, the Turkey Point Work Controls department notifies the load dispatcher (approximately 6 weeks)in advance for any scheduled outages that increase the risk of system instability.

Additionally, the Turkey Point management communicates to the load dispatcher any scheduled load threatening surveillance that could impact the electrical system (part of the morning phone call with the sites and system load dispatcher).

The load dispatcher may at times request Turkey Point to avoid performing any load threatening tasks that would increase the risk of creating system instability during peak load demand periods.During the EDG radiator replacement outage the potential for LOOP events to occur will be minimized by a)postponing the performance of any load threatening surveillance tests until after the affected EDG is returned to service and b)administratively controlling personnel access to the Turkey Point switchyard.

Ropes and appropriate signs restrict the access to the sensitive relay area.Posted signs require that the personnel that need to gain access need to contact the System Protection Department or the Nuclear Plant Supervisor.

0-ADM 701, Control of Plant Work Activities, addresses the request for access to different sensitive areas by requiring the individual directly in charge of the job in the relay area to complete the Red Sheet.The Red Sheet is a work evaluation form, 0-ADM-701 Attachment 7, which requires the approval of not only the job supervisor/

Assistant Nuclear Plant Supervisor and the Nuclear Plant Supervisor, but the approval of the Plant General Manager.The Red Sheet evaluation is performed immediately prior to commencing work on sensitive systems (including the relay area)and is valid for a designated period without permitting any substantial break in work.

L-99-216 Attachment Page 5 of 5 FPL will ensure, in accordance with O-ADM-210, On-Line Maintenance/Work Coordination, that the systems, components, and devices that depend on the redundant EDG as a source of onsite power are operable prior to removing the EDG from service.The EDG outage task activities to be performed on-line will follow guidance outlined in 0-ADM-210.

This procedure provides guidance for on-line maintenance activities to ensure adequate coordination between the Operations and Maintenance departments.

Furthermore, it provides instructions to ensure that the on-line maintenance is conducted in an effective, consistent manner in accordance with the operating licenses, plant procedures, and applicable regulatory requirements.

fl 4 (I'P I 1 L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page 1 of 9 ATTACHMENT 1 DESCRIPTION OF AMFNDMKNTS RE UFST 1.0 Background and Purpose Florida Power and Light Company (FPL)requests that Appendix A of Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 be amended to modify Technical Specification (TS)3/4.6.3, Emergency Containment Filtering System, TS 3/4.6.6, Post Accident Containment Vent System, and TS 3/4.7.5, Control Room Emergency Ventilation System in response to Generic Letter (GL)99-02.GL 99-02,"Laboratory Testing of Nuclear-Grade Activated Charcoal," dated June 3, 1999, requests that licensees of operating power reactors amend their TS to reference either the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)Standard D3803-1989,"Standard Test Method for Nuclear-Grade Activated Carbon," or propose an alternate test protocol.Periodic laboratory analysis of activated charcoal used in the engineered safety features (ESF)ventilation systems of nuclear power plants is required to verify its ability to remove radioiodine from air during normal operation and during postulated accident conditions.

Difficulty in achieving accurate and consistent test results has been a long-standing issue with the NRC and the nuclear industry due to the sensitivity of the adsorption mechanism to variations in the process conditions.

Interlaboratory comparisons conducted since the early 1980's have demonstrated that the results for these analyses can vary significantly between the various testing laboratories.

This disparity has raised concerns regarding the adequacy of these analyses and the specifications used to interpret their results.The NRC staff considers the ASTM D3803-1989 to be the most accurate and most realistic protocol for testing charcoal in ESF ventilation systems because it offers the greatest assurance of accurately and consistently determining the capability of the charcoal.The staff considers that the ASTM D3803-1989 standard provides a consistent and reproducible test method for evaluating the adequacy of charcoal.The purpose of the proposed license amendments is to adopt ASTM D3803-1989 as the protocol for conducting laboratory tests on both new and used charcoal in the emergency containment, post accident containment vent, and control room emergency ventilation system filtering units which are the affected filter units at Turkey Point.

L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page 2 of 9 2.0 System Description The filter units affected by the proposed TS changes include the emergency containment filters, control room emergency ventilation filters, and the post accident containment ventilation filter.Emer enc Containment Filters ECFs Each reactor at Turkey Point is provided with three ECF units located inside containment.

Each unit contains a demister bank, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA)filter bank, a charcoal filter bank and a fan.The charcoal filter bank in each ECF is comprised of 112 standard Type II tray-type adsorber cells having a nominal face velocity of 40 feet per minute (fpm)and a gas residence time of 0.25 seconds when operated at the design volumetric air flow rate of 333 cubic feet per minute (cfm).The filter units are designed to draw air from the lower levels of containment during an accident and discharge it to the upper regions of the containment building.They were installed to reduce the iodine concentration in the containment atmosphere following a maximum hypothetical accident (MEIA)such that the offsite dose at the site boundary would not exceed 10 CFR 100 guidelines.

The air filtering capacity used to satisfy the design basis is determined from the following conditions:

a)Postulated iodine release to the containment is calculated with the ORIGEN2 code using TID 14844 release fractions at a power level of 2346 MWbased on the equilibrium fission product inventory from a 24 GWD/MTU, two region, equilibrium cycle.b)Twenty-five percent of the total core iodine inventory is available for leakage from the containment.

This assumes 50%of the total core iodine is released to containment and 50%of this activity immediately plates out on the containment walls.c)The containment leak-rate for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is 0.25%per day and 0.125%per day thereafter.

d)The iodine in the containment atmosphere is assumed to be comprised of 4%methyl iodide, 91%elemental iodine and 5%particulate iodine.Operation of two ECFs for 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> is credited in the offsite and control room dose analyses associated with the large break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA).A removal efficiency of 90%is assumed for elemental iodine.The removal efficiency for methyl iodide is assumed to be 30%.Operation of the ECFs is also credited in the offsite dose calculation associated with a control rod ejection accident.

'L L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page 3 of 9 Control Room Emer enc Ventilation Filters The control room HVAC charcoal filters are located in the common emergency air intake duct.They are placed into service upon detection of high radioactivity in the normal control room HVAC air intake path.The high radioactivity signal causes isolation dampers in the normal intake duct to close and isolation dampers in the emergency air intake duct to open.An air supply fan draws a limited quantity of outside air through the charcoal filters along with air recirculated from the control room to maintain positive pressure in the control room envelope.The charcoal filter bank is comprised of 3 Type II tray-type adsorber cells to accommodate the 1000 cfm control room HVAC design flow.Operation of the control room emergency ventilation system is credited in the dose analysis associated with the large break LOCA.A removal efficiency of 95%is assumed for both elemental iodine and methyl iodide in the dose analysis.Post Accident Containment Ventilation AC Filter Turkey Point uses a common post accident containment vent system to facilitate controlled venting of either reactor containment building through HEPA and charcoal filters to the waste gas tanks and to the atmosphere during post-accident conditions.

The system provides the primary means of controlling containment hydrogen concentration during accidents and is placed in service when the containment hydrogen concentration reaches 3.0 volume percent.Service air is used to establish a low containment pressure under these conditions and enables a controlled flow rate to be maintained through the vent and vent filters.The design flow rate for the PACV system is 55 cfm.The PACV system uses a standard 12" x 12" x 5 7/s" charcoal filter in a bag-in/bag-out type housing.The filter is a Type IV charcoal adsorber bank containing 8 1-inch thick charcoal beds arranged in a V-Bank configuration.

The filter has a nominal face velocity of 14 fpm and a gas residence time of 0.35 seconds at the 55 cfm PACV design flow rate.3.0 Current Technical Specification Requirements TS 3.6.3 requires that three emergency containment filtering units (ECFs)be operable in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4.If one of the required ECFs become inoperable, it must be returned to operable status within 7 days or the plant must be brought to hot standby conditions within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to cold shutdown conditions within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.Various surveillance requirements are listed in Section 4.6.3 of the TS to demonstrate filter unit operability.

Surveillance requirement 4.6.3b.2 specifies the charcoal testing that must be performed to demonstrate operability.

Testing is required at least once per 18 months or (1)after any structural maintenance on the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housings, or (2)following operational exposure of filters to effluents from painting, fire, or chemical release or (3)aAer every 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of system operation.

The test requires verifying within 31 days aAer removal, that a laboratory analysis of a representative carbon sample obtained in accordance with applicable portions of Regulatory Position C.6.b of Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2, March 1978, and performed in accordance with ANSI N-510-1975, meets the acceptance criteria of greater than 99.9%removal of elemental iodine;and that any charcoal failing to meet this criteria be replaced with charcoal that meets or exceeds the criteria of position C.6.a of Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2.

L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page4of9 TS 3/4.7.5 requires that the control room emergency ventilation system be operable in all plant operating modes.If the system becomes inoperable in Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4, all movement of fuel in the spent fuel pool must be suspended and the system must be restored to operable status within 84 hours9.722222e-4 days <br />0.0233 hours <br />1.388889e-4 weeks <br />3.1962e-5 months <br />.If the system can not be restored to operable status within the 84-hour limit, the plant must be brought to hot standby conditions within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to cold shutdown conditions within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.If the action applies to both units simultaneously, the units must be brought to hot standby conditions within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and to cold shutdown conditions within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.If the control room emergency ventilation system becomes inoperable in Modes 5 or 6, all operations involving core alteration, movement of fuel in the spent fuel pool, or positive reactivity changes, must be suspended.

This action applies to both units simultaneously.

L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page 5 of 9 4.0 Design Basis Requirements and Safety Analysis Iinpact The ECFs, control room emergency ventilation filter, and PACV filter were included as engineered safety features at Turkey Point to mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents by removing radioactive material from the containment and control room atmospheres.

The charcoal filters were specifically installed to remove radioactive iodine and methyl iodide from these locations and maintain post-accident doses within regulatory limits.The design basis of the ECFs is to provide sufficient iodine removal capability from the containment atmosphere during radiological accidents to maintain offsite doses within 10 CFR 100 limits and control room doses within limits specified in Criterion 19,"Control Room," of Appendix A,"General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," to 10 CFR 50.The large break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA)is the most limiting design basis event for the ECFs.The amount of iodine released to the containment during a design basis LOCA is based on the assumptions provided in Atomic Energy Commission Technical Information Document TID-14844.

The capacity of the system is such that the released iodine can be adsorbed by two of the three ECF Units.The operation of two ECFs is credited in the offsite and control room dose analyses associated with: a)Large break Loss of Coolant Accident, and b)Control Rod Ejection Accident.A removal efficiency of 90%is assumed for elemental iodine in these analyses.The removal efficiency for methyl iodide is assumed to be 30%.These removal efficiencies are based on the guidance that is provided in Table 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.52 for 2-inch thick charcoal beds designed to operate inside containment.

The design basis of the control room emergency ventilation system is to mitigate the consequences of an accident by ensuring that the control room will remain habitable during and following all credible accident conditions.

General Design Criterion 19,"Control Room," contains the dose limits that must be met by the system during radiological accidents.

Operation of the control room emergency ventilation system is credited in the dose analysis associated with a large break LOCA.A removal efficiency of 95%is assumed for both elemental iodine and methyl iodide in the analysis.The PACV system is not specifically modeled in any of the plant safety analyses.A methyl iodide removal efficiency of 90%, however, is referenced in the TS for surveillance testing purposes.The requirement was added to the TS in the early 1980's and was derived from the Westinghouse standard TS that were in place in the mid-1970's.

The adoption of ASTM D3803-1989 for laboratory analysis of the above charcoal filters does not impact the design bases of the ESF systems, alter post-accident source terms, or modify the removal efficiencies credited in the dose calculations.

Although the Turkey Point accident analyses credit both elemental iodine and methyl iodide retention in the ESF filtration systems, the ASTM standard only provides a measurement of the charcoal's ability to retain methyl iodide.Testing charcoal solely for methyl iodide retention, however, is considered to provide a valid measure of the charcoal's ability to remove radioiodine in any chemical form from the attendant plant gas stream.Supplemental testing for elemental iodine retention is L-99-239 Attachment l Page 6 of 9 not considered necessary to verify the charcoal's ability to fulfill its design basis function.This position is bolstered by the NRC contention that elemental iodine released to the containment atmosphere will be aggressively removed through the use of the containment spray system such that the only form of iodine anticipated to require treatment by the ESP charcoal filters is methyl iodide.Additionally, an elemental iodine test protocol that provides reliable and reproducible results, and provides the ability to adequately discriminate between good and bad charcoal, has not been endorsed by the NRC.Based on the above, the proposed changes in test method and acceptance criteria do not impact the plant safety analyses.

L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page 7 of 9 5.0 Technical Specification Change Request The following changes to TS Surveillance Requirements 4.6.3b.2, 4.7.5c.2, and 4.6.6b.2 are requested for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.Text deletions are shown in strikeout.

Proposed text additions are shown in bohl: a)TS3/4.6.3 Emer enc ContainmentFilterin S stem: Revise the SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.6.3b.2 to read as follows: "Verifying within 31 days afler removal, that a laboratory analysis of a representative carbon sample obtained in accordance with applicable portions of Regulatory Position C.6.b of Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2, March 1978, and performed in accordance with ANNA-$40-*D3803-1989 at 30'C and 95%relative humidity, meets the methyl iodide penetratioll criteria of less than 35%;and that any charcoal failing to meet this criteria be replaced with 6 stated performance requirement; and" Justification:

The requested change updates the surveillance requirement to reflect the charcoal test standard imposed by GL 99-02.Since the new test standard is based on methyl iodide penetration rather than elemental iodine removal efficiency, a conforming change is made to reflect the appropriate test agent.This includes a change in the test acceptance criteria due to the change in the parameter used to measure filter effectiveness.

The existing TS measured the charcoal filter decontamination efficiency, which is a measure, in percent, of the ability of an adsorbent to remove a specific contaminant gas from an air, or gas stream under specified conditions.

The proposed TS provides acceptance criteria in terms of penetration.

Filter penetration represents the amount of leakage through or around, an adsorber when tested with a challenge agent of known characteristics under known conditions.

Filter penetration is expressed as a percentage of the initial challenge agent concentration.

The following mathematical formula for determining the appropriate penetration acceptance criteria is provided in Enclosure 2 of the GL.[100%-Methyl Iodide Efficiency in Plant Safety Analysis]Allowable Penetration

=Safety Factor The GL enclosure notes that the staff will accept a safety factor of greater than or equal to 2 when ASTM D3803-1989 is used with 30'C (86'F)and 95%relative humidity (or 70%relative humidity with humidity control).Given that a methyl iodide removal efficiency of 30%was assumed for the ECFs in the LOCA and control room dose analyses, an allowable methyl iodide penetration of less than 35%has been established for the surveillance test.

L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page 8 of 9 The ASTM standard does not include provisions for measuring the charcoal removal efficiency for elemental iodine.Consequently, any previous commitments relative to elemental iodine testing are superseded by the adoption of ASTM D3803-1989.

b)TS3/4.7.5 Control RoomEmer enc Ventilation S stem: Revise SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.7.5c.2 to read as follows: "Verifying, within 31 days afler removal, that a laboratory analysis of a representative carbon sample obtained in accordance with Regulatory Position C.6.b of Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2, March 1978, and analyzed per'teria-fer-methyl-iedine reraevaWSAeieney-ef-greater-er-equal-te-9@4 ASTM D3803-1989 at 30'C and 95%relative humidity, meets the methyl iodide penetration criteria of 1ess than 2,5%or the charcoal be replaced with charcoal that meets or exceeds the stated performance requirement eateRa-ef gd Justification:

The requested change updates the surveillance requirement to reflect the charcoal test standard imposed by GL 99-02.Since the new test standard is based on methyl iodide penetration rather than methyl iodide removal, a conforming change is made to reflect the appropriate test acceptance criteria.A maximum allowable penetration of 2.5%is established for the control room emergency filters using the equation referenced in part a)above, and a methyl iodide removal efficiency of 95%as assumed in the safety analysis.Performing the charcoal test at a relative humidity of 95%will bound all moisture conditions expected in the filter inlet air stream.c)TS 3/4.6.6 Post Accident Containment Vent S stem: Revise SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.6.6b.2 to read as follows: "Verifying, within 31 days after removal, that a laboratory analysis of a representative carbon sample performed in accordance with e-methyl-leone-reined IPN*humidity, meets the methyl iodide penetration criteria of less than 10%and that any charcoal failing to meet the criteria be replaced with charcoal that meets or exceeds the stated Justification:

The requested change updates the surveillance requirement to reflect the charcoal test standard imposed by GL 99-02.Since the new test standard is based on methyl iodide penetration rather than methyl iodide removal, a conforming change is made to reflect the appropriate test acceptance criteria.It should be noted that the PACV system is not modeled in any of the plant accident analyses so a specific methyl iodide removal efficiency is not rigorously documented for the charcoal filter bank.In the absence of a specific analysis value, the existing TS removal efficiency is converted to"percent penetration" and used to establish the maximum allowable penetration acceptance criteria.

L-99-239 Attachment 1 Page 9 of 9 6.0 Conclusion The proposed revision to the TS references the new test standard, and the appropriate acceptance criteria for maximum allowable methyl iodide penetration that must be met to satisfy the surveillance requirement.

The penetration acceptance criteria proposed for the emergency containment filters (ECFs)and the control room emergency ventilation filter are based on the methyl iodide removal efficiencies assumed in the plant safety analysis with a safety factor of 2.A methyl iodide penetration acceptance criterion is not currently included in the ECF TS so the test requirement represents a new license commitment.

Methyl iodide testing, however, is included as part of the control room charcoal filter surveillance test.The proposed revision reduces the safety factor from its current value of 5 down to a value of 2 to coincide with a reduction in the inherent inaccuracies associated with laboratory test standards.

The post accident containment vent (PACV)filter acceptance criteria for maximum allowable methyl iodide penetration included in this license amendments request is derived directly from the removal efficiency for methyl iodide that is published in the current plant TS, without a change in specification safety factor.Testing representative samples of charcoal used in the Emergency Containment Filters, Post Accident Containment Vent, and Control Room Emergency Ventilation systems in accordance with ASTM D3803-1989 provides the most accurate and reproducible test method available for monitoring the degradation of charcoal over time.The extensive industry experience and the requested action cited in GL 99-02 provide the basis for incorporating ASTM D3803-1989 into Turkey Point's TS.

L-99-239 Attachment 2 Page 1 of 2 ATTACHMENT 2 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS COiNSIDKRATION DKTKKVlINATION The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has provided standards for determining whether a significant safety hazards consideration exists (10 CFR$50.92(c)).

A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility involves no significant hazards consideration, if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1)involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2)create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3)involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.Each standard is discussed below for the proposed amendments.

Operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, The probability of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated for Turkey Point is not altered by the proposed TS changes because no physical modifications are being made to the plant.The proposed change requires that new and used charcoal in the plant engineered safety feature (ESF)ventilation systems be tested in accordance with ASTM D3803-1989, at a temperature of 30'C and a relative humidity of 95%.The use of a new or different test standard to satisfy the charcoal surveillance test requirement does not change the radiological consequences of any previously evaluated accident.The adoption of the ASTM standard will, however, require that future charcoal samples from the emergency containment filters be tested for methyl iodide removal rather than elemental iodine removal as permitted by previous test protocols.

The revised test method will provide a more uniform test program for the ESF filters, and will not adversely affect the filters affinity for elemental iodine removal.The adoption of the ASTM standard for laboratory analysis of the ESF charcoal does not impact the design bases of the ESF systems, alter post-accident source terms, or modify the removal efficiencies credited in the facility dose calculations.

The ASTM standard is very stringent and has been shown to provide a more reliable measure of the ability of charcoal to fulfill its intended design function, i.e., to remove radioiodine in any chemical form from the attendant plant gas stream, than previous test protocols.

Consequently, the adoption of the ASTM standard for laboratory analysis of the ESF charcoal will ensure that Turkey Point is operated in a manner consistent with the licensing basis of the facility as it relates to the protection of the public and the control room operators during radiological accidents.

Based on the above, it is concluded that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated.

L-99-239 Attachment 2 Page 2 of 2 (2)Operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

The proposed change does not create a new or different type of accident for Turkey Point because no physical plant changes are being made, and no compensatory measures are imposed that would create a new failure scenario.The proposed change only imposes a more stringent surveillance requirement for both new and used charcoal in the plant ESF ventilation systems.Since no new failure modes are associated with the proposed changes, the activity does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

(3)Operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendments would not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.The proposed license amendment adopts a more stringent standard for performing laboratory surveillance tests on both new and used charcoal in the ESF ventilation systems.Given the increased accuracy of the proposed test standard, the amendment also supports the adoption of revised acceptance criteria having a lower safety factor to the plant safety analysis limits.The composite change does not impact the design bases of the ESF systems, alter post-accident source terms, or modify the removal efficiencies credited in the facility dose calculations The margin of safety associated with operation of the ESF ventilation systems is established by the facility dose calculations and the acceptance criteria for system performance defined in 10 CFR 100 and Criterion 19 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50.The proposed amendments will not change this acceptance criteria nor the calculated dose limits used to establish the current plant-licensing basis.Sllnllnai'y Based on the above discussion, FPL has determined that the proposed amendments do not (1)involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, (2)create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or (3)involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety and therefore the proposed changes do not involve a significant safety hazards consideration as defined in 10 CFR 50.92.

The inclusion of this wording does not change the conclusions reached in the original no significant hazards consideration provided in FPL letter L-99-176.~Re uest2 Please describe the administrative procedures used to select tlie appropriate asseinblies for storage in the burnup-dependent racks in Region 2.~Res onse2 Spent fuel assemblies assignment in Region II are specified by the Reload Engineering Design Modification Package which is reviewed and approved by the plant's safety review board prior to the offload of the irradiated fuel assemblies from the core.The basis for these assignments is documented in an engineering calculation in accordance with Nuclear Engineering Department Standard STD-F-009 Revision 3,"Irradiated Fuel Storage Assignments." The requirements in this standard are in compliance with Technical Specification 3/4.9.14 regarding the storage of irradiated fuel.

L-2000-054 Attachment 1 Page2of3 At Turkey Point, the movement of fuel assemblies is controlled by Administrative Procedure 0-ADM-556, Fuel Assembly and Insert Shuffle.Guidelines in this procedure along with the designation of assemblies which satisfy the requirements for storage in Region II, are used to proceduralize the movement of each individual assembly by an assembly identification number and an alpha numeric storage location via Fuel Handling Data Sheets.The Fuel Handling Data Sheets are used by operating personnel to coordinate and track the movement of each assembly to assure that it is stored in its proper location.Control of this evolution is via headphone communication between the Control Room and the fuel handling personnel.

Once in the pool, an insert shuffle is done and a camera inspection of the assemblies that are going back into the core is performed.

This inspection ensures that the assemblies going back in the core have the right insert and are located in the proper storage rack.The Fuel Handling Data Sheets become Quality Assurance records.~Re uest3 Attachment 5 describes the criticality analysis performed with a reduced B-10 loading in the degraded Boraflex.The assuInptions in the analysis include the following:

Region 1: 0.009 glcm absorber B-10 loading and 0.0351 inch thickness Region 2: 0.006 glcm absorber B-10 loading and 0.051 inch thickness The analysis based on these assumptions results in a E~gless than 1.0 with no soluble boron.Please provide your plan to verify that the Boraflex panels have not degraded beyond the assunied thicknesses.

~Res ense 3 Contingent upon approval of the proposed license amendments, FPL plans to perform a test, in 2001, to verify the analysis assumptions for Boraflex degradation.

Currently, FPL has an on-going in-service Boraflex verification program, which consists of measuring the gap formation, gap distribution, and gap size.The program accomplishes these goals through the performance of blackness testing on a&equency of one test every five years in either Spent Fuel Pool.Upon approval of the proposed license amendments, FPL would commit to perform a test that validates our assumption on the thickness of the Boraflex every five years beginning in the year 2001.FPL would upgrade the blackness testing with a test which will not only measure the number of gaps and gap size but also validate our assumptions on the thickness of the Boraflex.

L-2000-054 Attachment 1 Page 3 of3 Substituting the blackness testing with an upgraded test, as well as changing the test date&om the year 2000 to 2001, would change FPL's previous commitment as documented in L-95-041, dated September 5, 1995.Upon approval of the proposed license amendments, FPL will notify the NRC by separate correspondence, of the change in commitment.

L-2000-054 Attachment 2 Attachment 2 The value of 0.0006 g/cm that is quoted on page 2 of 4 of FPL letter L-99-176, Attachment 5 (Westinghouse letter 999FP-G-012, Rev 1)is a typo and should read 0.006 g/cm.Westinghouse has corrected the typographical error and the attached report (Westinghouse letter 999FP-G-0102, Rev 2)supercedes Attachment 5 of L-99-176.

A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility requires no environmental assessment if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: (i)(ii)involve a significant hazards consideration, result in a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that my be released offsite, and result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.The proposed license amendments change the subcritical margin in the Spent Fuel Pool in order to accommodate degradation of the Boraflex panels in the fuel storage racks by permitting credit for soluble Boron.The proposed amendments do not expand the capacity of the Turkey Point Spent Fuel Pools.As described in UFSAR Section 5.2.4, each spent fuel pool rack has a maximum capacity of 1404 cells available for use, with no blanks inserted.The amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts and no significant change in the types of any effluents that may be released offsite, and no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.FPL has concluded that the proposed amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and meet the criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

FPL has determined pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), that an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need not be prepared in connection with issuance of the amendments.

As a result of conversations with your staff FPL is plcascd to provide the following additional information regarding the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS).The face velocity of thc CREVS charcoal filters is not an overt design parameter.

Rather, the design flow rate for the CREVS filters is a volumetric flow rate of 1000 cubic feet per minute.FPL reviewed the Turkey Point UFSAR and available correspondence on control room habitability to determine if the CREVS charcoal filter face velocity was previously transmitted to the NRC as part of an earlier submittal.

No source documents were found that would indicate that the CREVS charcoal filter face velocity was previously docketed.As a result, FPL has prepared the attached tables.These tables summarize the information previously provided to the NRC in our responses to Generic Letter 99-02.The tables also include the requested information on CREVS face velocity.The following parameters substantiate the 40 fpm CREVS face velocity specified in the attached table: CREVS Filter Volumetric Flow: 1000 cfm Number of CREVS Charcoal Cells: 3 Number of Beds in Each Cell: 2 Charcoal Bed Surface Area: 643 in (26.5 in.x 24.25 in.)Dividing thc filter volumetric flow rate by the number of CREVS charcoal cells gives a volumetric flow mtc of approximately 334 cfm per cell.Dividing this cell volumetric flow rate by the total charcoal bed surface area for fiow in each cell gives the charcoal filter face velocity.Since each charcoal bcd has 643 in of surface area for flow, and each cell has a parallel arrangement of two charcoal beds, the total surface area for fiow is 1286 in'r 8.9 ft'pcr cell.Dividing thc cell volumetric flow rate of 334 cfm by this total surface area for flow gives a face velocity, i.c., linear velocity, of approximately 37.5 fpm.This value is rounded up to 40 fpm to account for a worst case combination of dimensional toleranccs, and the slight reduction in surface flow area caused by thc charcoal bcd framing members.an FPL Group company L-2000-068 page 2 of 3 Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos.50-250 and 50-251 Proposed License Amendments Laboratory Testing of Nuclear Grade Activated Charcoal Additional Information The above parameters were taken from Section 4.7.5c.l of the plant technical specifications, and Revision 1 of drawings 5610-M-38-16 and 5610-M-38-19.

In addition, F is defined as"crash probability density over area A," without any mention of units.If F is dimensionless, then the units of f work-out to be (Flight operation/year)'(crashes/mile)'(sq.

miles)*(probability density).This has the units of Flight operations-crashes-miles/year which is incompatible with the quantity f, whose units are crashes/year.

The same equation is also presented in FPL's attachment to June 24, 1994 letter response (L-94-157) on IPEEE results for aircraft.However, some of the definitions appear to be different.

Specifically, on page 27, P is defined as"probability of an aircraft crash per operation." With this definition the units for the equation are (Flight operations/year)*(crashes/flight operations)*(sq.

miles)*(probability density).This works-out to have the units Crashes-sq.miles/year which again is inappropriate for a crash frequency.

It appears in this case that if the crash probability density had the units of (1/sq.mile)then the overall crash frequency would have the units of crashes/year.

ENCLOSURE r Please provide a clarification of the units that were used in both analyses with respect to the crash probability and the crash probability density.2.With respect to the aircraft risk analyses performed for Turkey Point Units 3&4, please indicate how the presence of the adjacent fossil unit chimneys was taken into account when calculating the effective target area used in estimating the on-site crash frequency.

Indicate the relative effect of the chimneys on the total calculated effective target area.3.The on-site crash frequency was estimated using parameters that are dependent on aircraft type and flight phase.Specifically, this applies to the parameters N, P, A, and F in the equation f=N*P*A*F.

That is, the equation is really of the form f=gQ N)P(A;F)I j where i is the ith type of aircraft and j is the jth flight phase.Please provide a sample of representative values (e.g., for a commercial air carrier and a large rhilitary aircraft)that were used in the analyses for each of these parameters.

Please indicate the source of the information used to evaluate each parameter.

4.According to the draft SEIS for the proposed disposal of some of the former Homestead Air Force Base, bird strikes can cause aircraft mishaps.Hence, some portion of the overall crash rate for a given aircraft and flight phase may be attributable to bird strikes.To what extent has the possibility of bird strikes been incorporated in the aircraft risk assessment for Turkey Point Units 3&4?If the Turkey Point aircraft risk analyses are based on nationally averaged aircraft crash rates, please indicate how representative these rates are of the projected Homestead air operations with respect to the bird strike contribution?

5.The draft SEIS (pp.2.2-9 to 2.2-11), in discussing the projected air traffic for the proposed Homestead airport conversion, indicates that more than 80%of the traffic is estimated to be in connection with flights from Latin America, the Caribbean, or other international locations.

The aircraft crash rates presented in NUREG-0800, SRP 3.5.1.6, are based on data for U.S.Carriers, General Aviation, and military aviation.Hence, the data may not be representative of the air traffic mix being projected for the Homestead airport.For example, in an item presented by the National Center for Policy Analysis, reference is made to an 80-page report of the Commercial Aviation Safety Strategy Team in which the U.S.accident rate from 1987 to 1996 is described to be on the average of 0.5 major accidents per million departures, compared to 0.7 for Western Europe, 4.8 for Eastern Europe and the old Soviet Union, 5.7 for Latin America and 13 for Africa.This suggests that the accident rate could be significantly affected by the mix of air traffic that is being projected.

Indicate if this has been taken into account in the FPL aircraft analyses to-date and if not, to what extent would this affect the previously estimated aircraft risks for Turkey Point Units 3&4.*(http://www.ncpa.org/pd/regulat/pdreg/regfeb98e.html)

TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4-REQUEST OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING SOLUBLE BORON CREDIT FOR SPENT FUEL POOL AND FRESH FUEL RACK CRITICALITY ANALYSES (TAC NOS.MA7262 AND MA7263)

Dear Mr.Plunkett:

By letter dated November 30, 1999, Florida Power and Light Company's (FPL's)proposed technical specification changes for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.The proposed changes would permit taking credit for the soluble boron in the spent fuel pool and fresh fuel rack criticality analyses in order to accommodate degradation of the boraflex panels in the fuel storage racks.The NRC staff has reviewed FPL's submittal and has determined that additional information is needed by the staff before it can complete its review.The enclosed request for additional information (RAI)has been discussed with S.Mihalakea of your staff.A target date for your response has been agreed upon to be 30 days from your receipt of this RAI.Should a situation occur that prevents you from meeting the target date, please contact me at (301)415-1496.Sincerely,'./&W R.Hernan for: Kahtan N.Jabbour, Senior Project Manager, Section 2 Project Directorate II Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos.50-250 and 50-251

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO THE AMENDMENT OF THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR SOLUBLE BORON CREDIT FOR SPENT FUEL POOL AND FRESH FUEL RACK CRITICALITY ANALYSES TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY DOCKET NOS.50-250 AND 50-251 The NRC staff safety evaluation report contained in WCAP-1441'6-NP-A presents the required technical specifications for use with the approved soluble boron credit methodology.

The Fuel Storage Criticality specifications in the Design Features Section for both k-eff less than 1.0 if fully flooded with unborated water and for k-eff less than or equal to 0.95 if fully flooded with borated water require reference to WCAP-14416-P for a description of the uncertainties included.Therefore, proposed technical specifications 5.6.1.1.a and 5.6.1.1.b should include the phrase"which includes a conservative allowance for uncertainties as described in WCAP-14416-P." Please describe the administrative procedures used to select the appropriate assemblies for storage in the burnup-dependent racks in Region 2.Attachment 5 describes the criticality analysis performed with a reduced B-10 loading in'he degraded boraflex.The assumptions in the analysis include the following:

Region 1: 0.009 g/cm'borber B-10 loading and 0.0351 inch thickness Region 2: 0.006 g/cm'bsorber B-10 loading and 0.051 inch thickness The analysis based on these assumptions results in a K,less than 1.0 with no soluble boron.Please provide your plan to verify that the boraflex panels have not degraded beyond the assumed thicknesses.

l.Pull scale load tests of the anchorage on the same concrete mix us'ed in the structure and review of prior uses of the anchorage.

2.The post-tensioning supplier's recommendations of anchorage reinforcing requirements.

3.Review of the final details of the combined reinforcing by the consulting firm of T.Y.Lin, Kulka, Yang and Associate.

For typical detailed Analysis, see Topical Report B-Top-2 dated October 1969, submitted in connection with Docket No.50-255, a NON-PROPRIETARY report.'I (b)'Earthauake or Mind Loadin The stresses in the structure for the earthquake loading conditions exceed the stresses for design tornado or wind.The earthquake analysis is'onducted in the following manner: The loads on the containment structure caused by earthquake are determined by a dynamic analysis of the structure.

The dynamic analysis is made on an idealized structure of lumped-.,asses and weightless elastic columns acting as springs.5.1.3-15 The analysis is performed in two stages;the determination of natural frequencies of the structure and its mode shapes, and the response of these modes.to the earthquake by the spectrum response.For the supported equipment, piping, etc.a time history technique is used to develop the floor response spectrum curves, and the supported elements are then analyzed by the response spectrum method as discussed in Appendix SA,Section III.II I The natural frequencies and mode shapes are computed using the matrix equation of motion shown below for a lumped mass system.Matrix interation was performed by use of a digital computer program to yield the natural frequencies and mode shapes.The form of the equation is: (K)~(a)=ii'(M)~(a)K=Matrix of stiffness coefficients including the combined 1, effects of shear, flexure, rotation and horizontal translation.

M=Matrix of lumped masses a=Matrix of mode shapes m=Angular natural frequency of vibration The results of this computation are the several values of r~and mode shapes an for n.=1, 2, 3,---m where m is the number of degrees of freedom (i.e..lumped masses)assumed in the idealized structure.

To obtain the.loads on the containment structure the response of each mode of vibratio'n to the design earthquake is computed by the response spectrum technique as follows: 5.1.3-16 Rev.13 10/96 newer structures, wind loads are as required by the edition of the south Florida Building code applicable at the time of design.shape Factors are applied in accordance with Reference SA-4, or as required by the South Florida Building Code applicable at the time of design.No tornado loads are considered.

SA-1.4.2 Turke Point Fossil uni s 1 and 2 Chimne Desi n Re uirements The Fossil unit 1 8 2 chimneys, located directly north of unit 3, do not perform any safety related functions, or directly protect safety related equipment.

However, failure of these structures has the potential of adversely affecting safety related systems.Accordingly, these structures have been designed to not fail and cause an adverse interaction with any safety related systems, when subjected to the Class I seismic loads (0.15 g)and wind loads (145 mph hurricane and 225 mph tornado)described in sections SA-1.3.4 and SA-1.3.5 of this appendix.5A-1.5 Miscellaneous Loads for structures s stems and E ui ment The units are designed for an outdoor temperature range of+30oF to+95oF.No ice or snow loads are considered in the design of the various structures and equipment.

SA-2'METHOD OF SEISMIC ANALYSIS SA-2.1 Structures The methods for seismic analysis of the containment and control building structures are described in Section 5.1.3.2.SA-2.2 Res onse S ectra Response spectra curves for floors at grade and for the containment basemat were developed based on the El Centro, California, earthquake.

These curves are shown in Figures 5A-1 for the design basis earthquake event (E), and Figure SA-2 for the maximum earthquake event (E').The analysis methodology is similar to the technique described in Section S.1.3.2(b).(Reference SA-3)SA-2.3 Seismic Class I Pl in Anal sis seismic Class I piping systems are typically analyzed as mathematical models consisting of lumped masses connected, by elastic members.The distance from Rev.16 10/99 the pipe axis to the center of gravity of the valve and operator is considered, with the mass of the valve and operator, for all motor, air, or gear operated valves.When necessary for the integrity of the piping, valve, or operation, the valve structure is externally supported.

The stiffness matrix for the pipe is developed to include the effects of torsional, bending, shear and axial deformations as well as change in flexibility due to curved members and internal pressure.Flexibility factors are calculated in accordance with UsAs B31.1.System natur al frequencies and mode shapes for all significant modes of vibration are then determined using equations of motion, and spectral accelerations as determined from the response spectra applied.The following equations are successively used to determine the response for each mode, maximum displacement for each mode, and the total displacement for each mass point: p(max)=M.co'.(2)V.=cp.Y (max)(3)V.=gV.where: Yn(max)=response of the n<h mode Rn=participation factor for the n<" mode=g Mi Mi=mass l$'ill mode shape i for n<h mode Sa=spectral acceleration for the n<h mode D=earthquake direction matrix M>=generalized mass matrix for the n<h mode=>Mi)~1n e>=angular frequency of the n<h mode Vill maximum displ acement of mass i for mode n V<=maximum displacement of mass i due to all modes calculated 5A-12 Rev.15 4/98 9.5.3 SYSTEM EVALUATIQN Underwater transfer of spent fuel provides essential ease and corresponding safety'in handling operations.

Water is an effective, economic and transparent radiation shield and a reliable cooling medium for removal of decay heat.Basic provisions to.ensure the safety of refueling operations ar':\a)Gamma radiation levels in the containment, control room and fuel storage areas are continuously monitored (see Section 11.2.3).These monitors provide an audible alarm at the initiating detector indicating an unsafe condition.

Continuous monitoring of reactor neutron flux'provides immediate indication and alarm in the control room of an abnormal core flux level.b)Containment integrity is maintained when core alterations or movement of irradiated fuel occurs inside the containment.

~.)Whenever any fuel is being added to the reactor core or is being relocated, a reciprocal curve of source neutron multiplication is recorded to verify the subcriticality of the core.Incident"Protection Direct communication between'the control'room and the refueling cavity manipulator crane is required.whenever changes in core geometry which"affect criticality are taking place.This provision allows the control room operator to inform the manipulator crane operator of any impending unsafe conditions detected from the control board indicators during fuel movement.Malfunction Anal sis An analysis is presented in Section 14 concerning damage to one complete outer row of fuel elements in an assembly, assumed as a conservative limit for evaluating environmental consequences of a fuel handling incident.9.5-16 Rev.13 10/96 9.5.4 TEST AND INSPECTION CAPABILITY Upon completion of core loading and installation of the reactor vessel head, certain mechanical and electrical tests can be performed prior to initial criticality.

The electrical wiring for the rod drive circuits, the rod position indicators, the reactor trip circuits, the in-core thermocouples and the reactor vessel head water temperature thermocouples can be tested at the time of installation.

The-tests can be repeated on th'ese electrical items before initial operation.
