This modification does not have any adverse effect on the plant safety or operation. | ~mamma The Feedwater Heater Bypass Valve opens to provide condensate flow to the Steam Generator Feedwater Pump (SGFP) when the suction pressure at the SGFP drops below the pressure switch setpoint of 220 psig. This is to maintain sufficient Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) on the SGFP. However a rapid closure of this bypass valve can cause a decrease in the suction pressure due to slow acceleration of the stagnant condensate through the low pressure heaters. This could potentially trip the SGFPs which. could result in tripping of the reactor. As documented in LER 84-21, a similar incident occurred in June, 1984, which caused a reactor trip. | ||
This modification | To eliminate this problem, this engineering package provides modifications to the pneumatic controls of Feedwater Heater Bypass Valve CV-2011. The installation of an air-flow metering valve in the actuator pneumatic control line reduced the instrument air flow rate on valve closing, thereby lengthening the CV.-2011 bypass valve closure time. | ||

ICW pump A is supplied from 4160V bus A while ICW pumps B and C are supplied from 4160V bus B. Under normal conditions with offsite power available, the buses can accommodate any combination of pumps.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPE-LR-87-020 Revision 4 OPERATION WITH LOSS OF'VAC TO THE DC EQUIPMENT AND INVERTER ROOMS In 1986, Florida Power and Light (FPL) identified a concern related to,the loss of HVAC in the DC Equipment/Inverter Rooms at Turkey Point Units 3 & 4. | |||
This evaluation indicates a maximum operability temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit is acceptable (except for the battery rooms where 115 degrees Fahrenheit is the acceptable maximum). Operation at or below this temperature for short .periods, of time (from a few days to months depending on the particular piece of equipment) does not introduce a failure mechanism. This evaluation also reviewed the use of, supplemental cooling and provided requirements that should be implemented to ensure detection and timely compensatory actions for any credible HVAC failure scenario and resulting temperature excursion in the DC Equipment/Inverter rooms. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summa The DC Equipment/Inverter Rooms'VAC systems are not addressed in the Turkey Point Technical Specifications;,therefore, .this evaluation has no effect on the plant's Technical Specifications. Since no existing safety analyses are affected and no new failure modes are introduced, the use of supplemental cooling .does not constitute an unreviewed safety question pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not required. | |||
Revision 4 of this safety evaluation: provides an evaluation of selected .single-failure type loss of HVAC scenarios, for the post 1990-1991 dual unit outage . configuration, to justify the acceptability of the modified design. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SENJ-89-048 Revision 3 EMERGENCY POSER SYSTEM (EPS) ENHANCEMENT REPORTS SUPPLEMENT NO ~ 2 Florida Power and Light (FPL) is installing two new emergency diesel generators and associated electrical and mechanical equipment at Turkey Point Nuclear. Supplement 1 submitted via FPL letter L-89-124 dated April 3, 1989, provided information regarding testing to be performed on various components and systems during turnover, startup, pre-operational testing, and prior to returning the enhanced EPS to service. | |||
Supplement 2 provides an evaluation for the enhanced emergency power system. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar The information presented in this safety evaluation demonstrates that the enhanced EPS provides additional installed capacity at Turkey Point such that the design basis accident of Loss of Offsite Power, plus a Loss of Coolant Accident on one unit, plus the single failure of an EDG, is mitigated with 3 EDGs available. The three EDGs can be automatically loaded and manually loaded with the required loads for accident mitigation on one unit and the achievement of safe shutdown on the non-accident unit. | |||
'The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, performed for the enhanced design, demonstrated that the minimum equipment to mitigate the design basis accidents described in the FSAR is readily available with the enhanced EPS configuration, even assuming a single failure of the EDG to start. Thus the accident analysis in the FSAR remains valid as the bounding analysis and the accident analysis results are not affected as a result of re-configuring the EPS by this enhancement project. | |||

However, this PC/M was not fully implemented. Although all other construction was completed, this analyzer was not physically installed in the computer room at the request of the Chemistry Department. During the interim, the analyzer was located in the chemistry Hot Lab. Due to the Hot Lab environment, maintenance. | |||
it experienced breakdowns and required frequent The proposed change for eliminating the environmental problems was to r'elocate the analyzer to the computer room as originally designed under PC/M 81-034. | |||
The analyzer continues to perform its intended function in its new location. Therefore, the relocation of the analyzer had no effect on plant operation or safety, and, does not create any changes in the existing operating practices. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar The relocation of the analyzer did not change the function or operational requirements of the analyzer. There are no effects on plant operation or plant safety and relocation of the analyzer does not constitute an unreviewed .safety question nor does it changes to the plant Technical Specifications pursuant to 10 CFR require 50.59.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JNO-90<<001 Revision 0 CHANGE IN COMPONENT COOLING WATER CHLORIDE 'SPECIFZCATION SAFETY EVALUATION Chemistry requested an evaluation o'f the change in the CCW chloride specification from 0.150 ppm to 1.0 ppm. The purpose of this change is to permit the corrosion inhibitor chemicals to be maintained in the range of. 200 to 500 ppm to provide maximum protection of the. CCW system materials while maintaining a safe margin to prevent chloride induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC). A site procedure has been written that allows control of the chloride concentration below 1.0 ppm by feed and bleed operations. The CCW system chemical control program uses a molybdate inhibitor which effectively ,protects austenitic stainless steel from SCC in chloride concentrations being recommended. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar Neither the plant Technical Specifications nor the plant updated FSAR specifies chemistry parameters to be maintained in the CCW system. Therefore this change does not require any changes to the Plant Technical Specifications. | |||
Based on the performed evaluation, it is concluded that the change in the CCW system chloride specification is safe to perform and the change can be implemented without prior NRC approval because the change does not affect plant safety or operation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SEMS-90-044 Revision 0 LOW PRESSURE STEAM TURBINE L'OOSE BLADES This safety evaluation supported the continued use of loose low pressure steam turbine blades, found during a recent in-service inspection. Although the design of the blades and their mountings is such that the blade can not be loose at operating speeds, a sealing compound is used to hold the blades secure when not in motion. This sealing compound was found,to be missing from some of the blades. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation concluded that the absence of sealing compound on blade life and the use of loose blades during normal operation does not involve an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59 criteria or a change to the Technical Specifications. There are no safety concerns. There are no unreviewed safety question, and no changes are required to the Technical Specifications. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATION: J'PN-PTN-SEMS-90-053 Revision 0 TEMPORARY INSTALLATION OF A PRESSURE INDICATOR (GAUGE) ON THE WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM OUTSIDE CONTAINMENT A pressure gauge was installed below Waste Disposal System drain valve CV-4-4668D. The gauge was installed to monitor the emptying of the Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT). This installation provided a manual means of indicating when the, RCDT pumps needed to be stopped due to low level in the,RCDT in lieu of the normally automatic operation with LT-4-1003. This is a temporary installation until the next Uni:t 4 .outage of adequate length when LT-4-1003, the RCDT level transmitter, can be repaired. | |||
This change allows Operations to determine when the RCDT is empty and therefore minimize the amount of time that the RCDT pumps are run while cavitating. This change has no adverse effect on the plant's margin of safety or operability. | |||
The RCDT only acts as a drain collection point and this change allows operations to better monitor its level and ensure no effluent backs up into the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) stand pipe. As such, this change places no restrictions on the operations of the plant. This system is classified as Quality Related. This change resulted in a temporary revision to operating procedure 4-OP-061.3 which details the use of the temporary gauge. | |||
This temporary modification is downstream of containment isolation valves, CV-4-4668 A & B. The drain valve, CV-4-4668D, is normally closed and is procedurally opened for approximately 3 minutes every 100 hours to monitor pump pressure. | |||
Safet Evaluati'on Summar The addition of a small mass to this .piping system has a negligible effect on the system seismic qualification. This portion of the system has no safety or shutdown function except the closure of containment isolation valves CV-4-4668 A & B. This modification is on a branch line downstream of the containment isolation valves therefore, valves. | |||
it will have no effect on the ability to close those This change does not constitute an unreviewed safety question or a change to any Technical Specification pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATION JPN-PTN-SENJ-90-072 Revision 2 Page 1 of 2 INSTALLATION OF ALTERNATE SFP COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS The alternate Spent Fuel Pit Cooling System (SFPCS) was installed as a temporary backup for the normal SFPCS. The temporary system will remain installed until the end of the dual-unit outage. The major components of this alternate SFPCS are one (1) flat plate heat exchanger, one (1) evaporative cooling tower, and two (2) circulating pumps. The piping associated with the temporary SFPCS was installed on each unit to facilitate ready hook-up. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar The purpose of this safety evaluation is to address the acceptability of the temporary SFPCS piping and component installation and operation for potential adverse interaction with existing safety related structures, systems or components. | |||
The alternate SFPCS serves no safety function. The normal SFPCS is not required to have active redundancy. However, the alternate system will be installed temporarily as a readily avai.'lable backup method to provide SFP cooling capacity in case the normal SFPCS is rendered inoperable. The system i;s sized to provide 1004 for the pre-dual-unit outage SFP heat load, and partial heat cooling'apacity removal capacity for the SFP heat load during the dual unit outage. | |||
JPN-PTN-SENJ- | Based on field inspection, the location of the alternate SFPCS piping and components are such that their failure will not result in adverse interactions with existing safety related systems, structures, or components. Therefore, the piping and equipment are considered as Class III components. As stated earlier, the temporary alternate SFPCS serves no safety functions, and there are no adverse seismic interactions with safety related equipment. Therefore, this safety evaluation was classified as Not Safety Related. | ||
Revision 0 of the safety evaluation addressed the location of the alternate SFPCS for seismic interactions and placed plant restrictions based on the need for a walkdown. | |||
Revision 1 removes the restrictions of revision 0 based on the evaluation of the walkdown results and verification of wind loading design adequacy, and addresses the operation of the alternate SFPCS. | |||
Revision 2 provides the- basis for addressing the alternate return line connection to the temporary SFPCS. The results and conclusions of the safety evaluation remain unaffected by this revision. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATION J'PN-PTN-SENZ-90-073 Revision 2 OPERATION OF THE POST ACCIDENT CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM In February of 1990, the Post Accident Containment Ventilation (PACV) | |||
System was found isolated for greater than seven days, which is a reportable event. During review of the event, the NRC questioned the capability to operate this system due to potentially high dose rates in the vicinity of the PACV system during post accident conditions. | |||
FPL committed to evaluate this situation and reported the results in a supplemental LER. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar Evaluation of this situation shows that while doses are high, the PACV system could be safely placed in service pr'ior to containment hydrogen concentration levels exceeding three percent by volume. The evaluation, however recommends that corrective action in the form of procedural changes be taken to reduce the potential exposure to operators from this system post-accident. These procedure changes have been determined not to create an unreviewed safety question or require a change to the Technical Specifications, and do not impact plant operation or safety.

SAFETY EVALUATION: ZPN-PTN-SENS-90-088 Revision 2 INSTALLATION'F FIRE HOSE BONNET ADAPTERS TO CCW VALVES 772 AND 776 The plant installed bonnet adapters to the Component Cooling Water (CCW) isolation valves to the SFP heat exchangers. These bonnet adapters (stab in's),allow for emergency (back-up) connection of fire hoses to.provide for heat removal from Unit 3 and 4 spent fuel pools. | |||
This capability is desired during the dual unit outage as a back-up in the event .of a loss of CCW, since full core off loads and corresponding high heatup rates of the SFP's are applicable. The high heatup rates limit the amount of SFP cooling system down time before SFP boiling would occur. | |||
The SFP cooling system does not include emergency power as a design requi:rement and the SFP boiling analysis demonstrates that off-site doses will remain well within 10 CFR 100- limits, therefore, the SFP cooling function and ICW/CCW support function are considered as quality related functions. The back-up provisions installed per a Temporary System Alteration (TSA) are not required to meet the SFP system design but are desired as conservative measures to prevent SFP boiling. | |||
Revision 1 made editorial corrections and incorporated the latest Unit 3 fuel inventory safety evaluation. The results and conclusions of this safety evaluation remain unaffected by this revision. | |||
Revision 2 made editorial corrections and deleted the requirement to have the reactor cavity flooded during installation or removal of stab-ins. The results and conclusions of this safety evaluation remain unaffected by this revision. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation showed that the installation of the fire hose adapters during Mode 6 and the corresponding removal of valve internals from CCW valves 772 and 776 did not constitute an unreviewed safety question, did not require a change to any Technical Specification, and did not impact plant operation or safety. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SEES-90-3.02 Revision 1 TEMPORARY SYSTEM 'ALTERATION TO BYPASS THE OVERTRAVEL .LIMIT SWITCH ON THE SPENT FUEL CASK BRIDGE,CRANE The overtravel limit switch has failed and restricts use of the Spent Fuel Cask Bridge Crane. Until a replacement switch is obtained, Turkey Point installed a jumper to bypass the limit switch and allow continued operation of the crane. The limit switch in question provides an automatic interlock to prevent the crane from challenging the mechanical stops at the north end of the crane rail. Although during normal operation, crane travel is limited'uch that the limit switch is not often actuated. Zf the administrative controls initiated fail to stop the crane, the mechanical stops will limit crane overtravel and subsequent damage. In addition, a deadman switch will de-energize the control circuit, thus stopping the crane if a failure occurred in the control circuit. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar The overtravel limit switch was not intended to restrict the movement, of loads over the spent fuel storage areas as discussed in the Technical Specifications. The switch should only affect crane. travel when the crane is at the end of the rail. This evaluation demonstrates that this change did not involve an unreviewed safety question or a change to the Technical Specifications.

I SAFETY EVALUATION'PN-PTN-SEES-90-112 Revision 1 STATIONARY SCREEN FOR THE INTAKE STRUCTURE | |||
'PC/M 89-207 was issued to provide a stationary screen for use in the intake structure bays. The screen is utilized to provide a debris barrier during periods when the traveling screens are out of service. | |||
The PC/M engineering evaluation uses, as a premise, that the affected circulating water (CW) pump will be taken out of service during the period when the stationary screen is installed. In order to facilitate repairs to the traveling water screen mechanisms, it has been requested, that engineering evaluate the possibility of operating the affected CW pump with the stationary screen installed. | |||
Revision 1 to this safety evaluation allows for the Intake Cooling Water (ICW) pump in the affected bay to remain in service during operation of the CW pump. During periods of time when the stationary screen must be manually cleaned, both the ICW pump and CW pump will be declared out of service. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar This safety evaluation determined that the operation of the CW pump, in the affected bay, with the stationary screen installed, and under the limitations specified, did not require any changes to the plant Technical Specifications ,and did not affect plant safety or operation. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not. required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATZON ZPN-PTN<<SENJ-90-113 Revision 0 SAFETY EVALUATION FOR ZNTAKE COOLING WATER (ZCW) PUMP FOUNDATZONS This evaluation was performed to determine anchorages for the 3A .Intake Cooling Water (ICW) if nonconforming pump involved a substantial safety hazard. This evaluation was necessary to determine 10 CFR 21 reportability. | |||
Non-conformance Report NCR-86-336 identified the 3A Intake Cooling Water (ICW) pump anchorages as not conforming to the applicable design documentation. Subsequent investigation revealed that additional ICW pumps had nonconforming anchorages. The condition was analyzed in Safety Evaluation JPES-C-86-8 and'as determined not to involve ,an operability concern. The pump anchorages were subsequently repaired. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation concluded that the deviation related to the ICW base plate attachments did not represent a Substantial Safety Hazard. | |||
The pumps would have remained functional for both normal operating and accident conditions even with the degraded supports. Although several of the pump anchorages may have failed under seismic or hurricane conditions, required cooling could have been maintained by cross-connecting CCW between units. Previous evaluations have shown that the units are capable of reaching and maintaining Mode 3 even if all ICW is lost. Therefore this condition 10 CFR 21 definition of a Substantial Safety does not meet the Hazard. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATZON JPN-PTN-SENJ-90-114 Revision 1 OPERABZLZTY ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENT COOLZNG RATER SYSTEM FOR SPLZT HEADER CONFZGURATZONS As a consequence of a recent review of th'e Component Cooling Water (CCW) pump inservice testing procedures 3-0SP-030.1 and 4-0SP-030.1, the acceptability of splitting the two CCW headers during pump inservice flow testing and other operations requiring split CCW, headers was addressed. This evaluation focused on single electrical failures, because the power supplies for the three CCW pumps and certain Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems, such as the three Emergency Containment Coolers (ECCs), cannot be configured to serve the needs of a fully redundant and automatic two-train fluid system. | |||
Licensee Event Report (LER) 3-90-021-00 was submitted to the NRC on November 13, 1990, to report the splitting, of the two CCW headers without entering the appropriate Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) on October 18, 1990. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar The operation of the ICW and CCW systems in the split header configurations for inservice testing should have been accompanied by entry into the appropriate LCO Action statement for equipment out-of-service. However, procedural controls. would have ensured restoration of systems .to their normal "open" configuration in the event of an accident. With such operator actions, the .system configurations would have provided heat removal within their respective design bases. | |||
The CCW system operating in a split header configuration for movement of the cask in the cask washdown area resulted in the plant operating outside its design basis. Although the plant was operating outside its design basis, this did not result in.a significant safety concern for the following reasons: | |||
based on sensitivity studies performed, that the minimum containment design it is not expected pressure would be exceeded; | |||
: 2) there is a high probability of restoring AC power to the nuclear units after one (1) hour; | |||
: 3) Systematic Design Investigation Program risk based methodologies were applied and the resultant probability for the dominant failure scenario is very low and not a significant contributor to the overall risk of a core melt. | |||

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SEMJ-90-115 Revision 0 PRESSURIZER SURGE LINE THERMAL STRATIFICATION (BULLETIN 88-11) | |||
On December 20, 1988, the NRC issued Bulletin 88-11 regarding pressurizer surge line thermal stratification. FPL is participating in a program which has been implemented to address the issue of thermal stratification. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation concludes that the Justification for Continued Operation (JCO) forwarded to the NRC in FPL letter number L-89-194 is still valid. Visual inspections of the pressurizer surge lines revealed superficial damage to the insulation consistent with the expected thermal movements considering stratification effects. Also a variable spring support in Unit 3 was shown to be bottomed out, however, the support showed no signs of damage. Several cracks in the saddle-to-pipe welds were found in Unit 4. These welds serve only to hold the saddle in -place and do not provide load carrying capacity to the support. The variable spring assembly did not display any signs of damage. | |||
This safety evaluation concluded that the as-found condition of the pressurizer surge lines is acceptable, with no adverse impact on plant safety, security, or operation. This as-found condition did not create an unreviewed safety question or require a change to the Technical Specifications. | |||

RELOAD SAFETY EVALUATIONS SAFETY EVALUATION 4 NF-90-330 TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 CYCLE 12 RELOAD REVISION OF SHUTDOWN MARGIN Post trip RCS cooldowns of as much as 27 degrees Fahrenheit below the estimated no-load Tzyg have been experienced at Turkey Point. If these cooldowns had occurred near the end of cycle, shutdown margin requirements could have been violated. | |||
As a result, the fuel vendor was requested to review the | |||
'hutdown margin formulation to determine conservatism exists, which could be reduced. | |||
if excessive As a result of the vendor review, the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 cycle 12 reload shutdown margins have been revised. This revision reduced the conservatisms from the axial reactivity redistribution allowance and control rod uncertainty allowance for Turkey Point Unit 3, cycle 12 (BOL and EOL) and Unit 4, cycle 12 (EOL only) Reload Safety Evaluation. | |||
Safet Evaluation Summar This safety evaluation concluded that the implementation of the revision to the Reload Safety Evaluation for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 , cycle 12 reloads did not involve any changes which introduce an unreviewed safety, question. Therefore, implementation of this revision to the shutdown margin calculations for the reload was permissive without prior NRC approval. | |||
Note: No core reloads were performed during the reporting period, July 1, 1990 to June 30, 1991. | |||

~mamma The Feedwater Heater Bypass Valve opens to provide condensate flow to the Steam Generator Feedwater Pump (SGFP) when the suction pressure at the SGFP drops below the pressure switch setpoint of 220 psig. This is to maintain sufficient Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) on the SGFP. However a rapid closure of this bypass valve can cause a decrease in the suction pressure due to slow acceleration of the stagnant condensate through the low pressure heaters. This could potentially trip the SGFPs which. could result in tripping of the reactor. As documented in LER 84-21, a similar incident occurred in June, 1984, which caused a reactor trip.
To eliminate this problem, this engineering package provides modifications to the pneumatic controls of Feedwater Heater Bypass Valve CV-2011. The installation of an air-flow metering valve in the actuator pneumatic control line reduced the instrument air flow rate on valve closing, thereby lengthening the CV.-2011 bypass valve closure time.
Safet Evaluation:
Bypass Valve CV-2011 does not perform any Safety Related function.
However, the failure of the valve in the open, position may cause the "Reduction in Feedwater Enthalpy" incident analyzed in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR):.

~SUREIR There are three Intake Cooling Water (ICW) pumps available to meet the needs of the plant. Although the plant Technical Specifications call for all three pumps to be operable during plant operation, the plant is designed such that two pumps are sufficient for normal operations and one pump is sufficient for a Design Basis Accident (DBA).
ICW pump A is supplied from 4160V bus A while ICW pumps B and C are supplied from 4160V bus B. Under normal conditions with offsite power available, the buses can accommodate any combination of pumps. With a Loss of Offsite Power, the two 4160V buses are supplied from the A and B train emergency diesel generators, one specific to each bus. However, with the auto start logic of the standby ICW pump, there exists the potential to overload the B train emergency diesel generator under certain conditions.
To eliminate this potential for overloading an emergency diesel generator and to maintain consistency between the control circuits of the three ICW pumps, minor modifications were designed for the control circuits of all three pumps, to defeat the overcurrent trip interlock between the pumps. These modifications will not affect any other control functions in the starting circuits nor will they prevent a single pump from tripping due to overcurrent on any of if its three phases.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPE-LR-87-020 Revision 4 OPERATION WITH LOSS OF'VAC TO THE DC EQUIPMENT AND INVERTER ROOMS In 1986, Florida Power and Light (FPL) identified a concern related to,the loss of HVAC in the DC Equipment/Inverter Rooms at Turkey Point Units 3 & 4.
This evaluation indicates a maximum operability temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit is acceptable (except for the battery rooms where 115 degrees Fahrenheit is the acceptable maximum). Operation at or below this temperature for short .periods, of time (from a few days to months depending on the particular piece of equipment) does not introduce a failure mechanism. This evaluation also reviewed the use of, supplemental cooling and provided requirements that should be implemented to ensure detection and timely compensatory actions for any credible HVAC failure scenario and resulting temperature excursion in the DC Equipment/Inverter rooms.
Safet Evaluation Summa The DC Equipment/Inverter Rooms'VAC systems are not addressed in the Turkey Point Technical Specifications;,therefore, .this evaluation has no effect on the plant's Technical Specifications. Since no existing safety analyses are affected and no new failure modes are introduced, the use of supplemental cooling .does not constitute an unreviewed safety question pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.

SAFETY. EVALUATION: ZPN-PTN-SEKT-89-043 Revision. 0 SAFE SHUTDOWN CAPABILITYSITH SPUR1OUS CLOSURE OF VOLUME CONTROL CONTROL VALVE LCV,-115C TANK'EVEL The Appendix R Safe .Shutdown Analysis takes credit for. operator action to mitigate the adverse effects of spurious closure .of Volume Control Tank Level Control Valve LCV-115C.
. However, without
,administrative controls or a permanent design change, this operator action may not be taken in time to prevent pump damage.
Safet Evaluation Summa This evaluation has shown that the implementation of administrative
.controls in the form of fire watches will ensure the avai;lability of a charging pump for safe shutdown capabil~ity in the event of a fire and, therefore, does not. result in an unreviewed safety question or require any changes to the plant Technical Specifications.
Therefore,, prior NRC approval for implementation of these temporary administrative controls was not required.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SENJ-89-048 Revision 3 EMERGENCY POSER SYSTEM (EPS) ENHANCEMENT REPORTS SUPPLEMENT NO ~ 2 Florida Power and Light (FPL) is installing two new emergency diesel generators and associated electrical and mechanical equipment at Turkey Point Nuclear. Supplement 1 submitted via FPL letter L-89-124 dated April 3, 1989, provided information regarding testing to be performed on various components and systems during turnover, startup, pre-operational testing, and prior to returning the enhanced EPS to service.
Supplement 2 provides an evaluation for the enhanced emergency power system.
Safet Evaluation Summar The information presented in this safety evaluation demonstrates that the enhanced EPS provides additional installed capacity at Turkey Point such that the design basis accident of Loss of Offsite Power, plus a Loss of Coolant Accident on one unit, plus the single failure of an EDG, is mitigated with 3 EDGs available. The three EDGs can be automatically loaded and manually loaded with the required loads for accident mitigation on one unit and the achievement of safe shutdown on the non-accident unit.
'The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, performed for the enhanced design, demonstrated that the minimum equipment to mitigate the design basis accidents described in the FSAR is readily available with the enhanced EPS configuration, even assuming a single failure of the EDG to start. Thus the accident analysis in the FSAR remains valid as the bounding analysis and the accident analysis results are not affected as a result of re-configuring the EPS by this enhancement project.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JNO-90<<001 Revision 0 CHANGE IN COMPONENT COOLING WATER CHLORIDE 'SPECIFZCATION SAFETY EVALUATION Chemistry requested an evaluation o'f the change in the CCW chloride specification from 0.150 ppm to 1.0 ppm. The purpose of this change is to permit the corrosion inhibitor chemicals to be maintained in the range of. 200 to 500 ppm to provide maximum protection of the. CCW system materials while maintaining a safe margin to prevent chloride induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC). A site procedure has been written that allows control of the chloride concentration below 1.0 ppm by feed and bleed operations. The CCW system chemical control program uses a molybdate inhibitor which effectively ,protects austenitic stainless steel from SCC in chloride concentrations being recommended.
Safet Evaluation Summar Neither the plant Technical Specifications nor the plant updated FSAR specifies chemistry parameters to be maintained in the CCW system. Therefore this change does not require any changes to the Plant Technical Specifications.
Based on the performed evaluation, it is concluded that the change in the CCW system chloride specification is safe to perform and the change can be implemented without prior NRC approval because the change does not affect plant safety or operation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.

SAFETY EVALUATION: J'PN-PTN-SEMS-90-053 Revision 0 TEMPORARY INSTALLATION OF A PRESSURE INDICATOR (GAUGE) ON THE WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM OUTSIDE CONTAINMENT A pressure gauge was installed below Waste Disposal System drain valve CV-4-4668D. The gauge was installed to monitor the emptying of the Reactor Coolant Drain Tank (RCDT). This installation provided a manual means of indicating when the, RCDT pumps needed to be stopped due to low level in the,RCDT in lieu of the normally automatic operation with LT-4-1003. This is a temporary installation until the next Uni:t 4 .outage of adequate length when LT-4-1003, the RCDT level transmitter, can be repaired.
This change allows Operations to determine when the RCDT is empty and therefore minimize the amount of time that the RCDT pumps are run while cavitating. This change has no adverse effect on the plant's margin of safety or operability.
The RCDT only acts as a drain collection point and this change allows operations to better monitor its level and ensure no effluent backs up into the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) stand pipe. As such, this change places no restrictions on the operations of the plant. This system is classified as Quality Related. This change resulted in a temporary revision to operating procedure 4-OP-061.3 which details the use of the temporary gauge.
This temporary modification is downstream of containment isolation valves, CV-4-4668 A & B. The drain valve, CV-4-4668D, is normally closed and is procedurally opened for approximately 3 minutes every 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> to monitor pump pressure.
Safet Evaluati'on Summar The addition of a small mass to this .piping system has a negligible effect on the system seismic qualification. This portion of the system has no safety or shutdown function except the closure of containment isolation valves CV-4-4668 A & B. This modification is on a branch line downstream of the containment isolation valves therefore, valves.
it will have no effect on the ability to close those This change does not constitute an unreviewed safety question or a change to any Technical Specification pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.

SAFETY EVALUATION JPN-PTN-SENJ-90-072 Revision 2 Page 1 of 2 INSTALLATION OF ALTERNATE SFP COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS The alternate Spent Fuel Pit Cooling System (SFPCS) was installed as a temporary backup for the normal SFPCS. The temporary system will remain installed until the end of the dual-unit outage. The major components of this alternate SFPCS are one (1) flat plate heat exchanger, one (1) evaporative cooling tower, and two (2) circulating pumps. The piping associated with the temporary SFPCS was installed on each unit to facilitate ready hook-up.
Safet Evaluation Summar The purpose of this safety evaluation is to address the acceptability of the temporary SFPCS piping and component installation and operation for potential adverse interaction with existing safety related structures, systems or components.
The alternate SFPCS serves no safety function. The normal SFPCS is not required to have active redundancy. However, the alternate system will be installed temporarily as a readily avai.'lable backup method to provide SFP cooling capacity in case the normal SFPCS is rendered inoperable. The system i;s sized to provide 1004 for the pre-dual-unit outage SFP heat load, and partial heat cooling'apacity removal capacity for the SFP heat load during the dual unit outage.
Based on field inspection, the location of the alternate SFPCS piping and components are such that their failure will not result in adverse interactions with existing safety related systems, structures, or components. Therefore, the piping and equipment are considered as Class III components. As stated earlier, the temporary alternate SFPCS serves no safety functions, and there are no adverse seismic interactions with safety related equipment. Therefore, this safety evaluation was classified as Not Safety Related.
Revision 0 of the safety evaluation addressed the location of the alternate SFPCS for seismic interactions and placed plant restrictions based on the need for a walkdown.
Revision 1 removes the restrictions of revision 0 based on the evaluation of the walkdown results and verification of wind loading design adequacy, and addresses the operation of the alternate SFPCS.
Revision 2 provides the- basis for addressing the alternate return line connection to the temporary SFPCS. The results and conclusions of the safety evaluation remain unaffected by this revision.

System was found isolated for greater than seven days, which is a reportable event. During review of the event, the NRC questioned the capability to operate this system due to potentially high dose rates in the vicinity of the PACV system during post accident conditions.
FPL committed to evaluate this situation and reported the results in a supplemental LER.
Safet Evaluation Summar Evaluation of this situation shows that while doses are high, the PACV system could be safely placed in service pr'ior to containment hydrogen concentration levels exceeding three percent by volume. The evaluation, however recommends that corrective action in the form of procedural changes be taken to reduce the potential exposure to operators from this system post-accident. These procedure changes have been determined not to create an unreviewed safety question or require a change to the Technical Specifications, and do not impact plant operation or safety. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.

The SFP has installed permanent temperature indication;. but data on potential SFP temperature stratification when the SFP cooling system is secured was also des'ired. Therefore additional temperature probes were installed in the SFP, consisting of thermocouples wired together and weighted, and then suspended over the pool curb into the SFP. The test equipment was installed and operated per the requirements. of TP-642, "Suspension of SFP Cooling."
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation shows that the installation of temporary temperature probes and the acquisition of temperature data in the SFP did not constitute an unreviewed .safety question, did not require a change to any Technical Specification, and did not impact plant operation or safety.

SAFETY EVALUATION: ZPN-PTN-SENS-90-088 Revision 2 INSTALLATION'F FIRE HOSE BONNET ADAPTERS TO CCW VALVES 772 AND 776 The plant installed bonnet adapters to the Component Cooling Water (CCW) isolation valves to the SFP heat exchangers. These bonnet adapters (stab in's),allow for emergency (back-up) connection of fire hoses to.provide for heat removal from Unit 3 and 4 spent fuel pools.
This capability is desired during the dual unit outage as a back-up in the event .of a loss of CCW, since full core off loads and corresponding high heatup rates of the SFP's are applicable. The high heatup rates limit the amount of SFP cooling system down time before SFP boiling would occur.
The SFP cooling system does not include emergency power as a design requi:rement and the SFP boiling analysis demonstrates that off-site doses will remain well within 10 CFR 100- limits, therefore, the SFP cooling function and ICW/CCW support function are considered as quality related functions. The back-up provisions installed per a Temporary System Alteration (TSA) are not required to meet the SFP system design but are desired as conservative measures to prevent SFP boiling.
Revision 1 made editorial corrections and incorporated the latest Unit 3 fuel inventory safety evaluation. The results and conclusions of this safety evaluation remain unaffected by this revision.
Revision 2 made editorial corrections and deleted the requirement to have the reactor cavity flooded during installation or removal of stab-ins. The results and conclusions of this safety evaluation remain unaffected by this revision.
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation showed that the installation of the fire hose adapters during Mode 6 and the corresponding removal of valve internals from CCW valves 772 and 776 did not constitute an unreviewed safety question, did not require a change to any Technical Specification, and did not impact plant operation or safety.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SEES-90-3.02 Revision 1 TEMPORARY SYSTEM 'ALTERATION TO BYPASS THE OVERTRAVEL .LIMIT SWITCH ON THE SPENT FUEL CASK BRIDGE,CRANE The overtravel limit switch has failed and restricts use of the Spent Fuel Cask Bridge Crane. Until a replacement switch is obtained, Turkey Point installed a jumper to bypass the limit switch and allow continued operation of the crane. The limit switch in question provides an automatic interlock to prevent the crane from challenging the mechanical stops at the north end of the crane rail. Although during normal operation, crane travel is limited'uch that the limit switch is not often actuated. Zf the administrative controls initiated fail to stop the crane, the mechanical stops will limit crane overtravel and subsequent damage. In addition, a deadman switch will de-energize the control circuit, thus stopping the crane if a failure occurred in the control circuit.
Safet Evaluation Summar The overtravel limit switch was not intended to restrict the movement, of loads over the spent fuel storage areas as discussed in the Technical Specifications. The switch should only affect crane. travel when the crane is at the end of the rail. This evaluation demonstrates that this change did not involve an unreviewed safety question or a change to the Technical Specifications. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.

I SAFETY EVALUATION'PN-PTN-SEES-90-112 Revision 1 STATIONARY SCREEN FOR THE INTAKE STRUCTURE
'PC/M 89-207 was issued to provide a stationary screen for use in the intake structure bays. The screen is utilized to provide a debris barrier during periods when the traveling screens are out of service.
The PC/M engineering evaluation uses, as a premise, that the affected circulating water (CW) pump will be taken out of service during the period when the stationary screen is installed. In order to facilitate repairs to the traveling water screen mechanisms, it has been requested, that engineering evaluate the possibility of operating the affected CW pump with the stationary screen installed.
Revision 1 to this safety evaluation allows for the Intake Cooling Water (ICW) pump in the affected bay to remain in service during operation of the CW pump. During periods of time when the stationary screen must be manually cleaned, both the ICW pump and CW pump will be declared out of service.
Safet Evaluation Summar This safety evaluation determined that the operation of the CW pump, in the affected bay, with the stationary screen installed, and under the limitations specified, did not require any changes to the plant Technical Specifications ,and did not affect plant safety or operation. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not. required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.

This evaluation was necessary to determine 10 CFR 21 reportability.
Non-conformance Report NCR-86-336 identified the 3A Intake Cooling Water (ICW) pump anchorages as not conforming to the applicable design documentation. Subsequent investigation revealed that additional ICW pumps had nonconforming anchorages. The condition was analyzed in Safety Evaluation JPES-C-86-8 and'as determined not to involve ,an operability concern. The pump anchorages were subsequently repaired.
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation concluded that the deviation related to the ICW base plate attachments did not represent a Substantial Safety Hazard.
The pumps would have remained functional for both normal operating and accident conditions even with the degraded supports. Although several of the pump anchorages may have failed under seismic or hurricane conditions, required cooling could have been maintained by cross-connecting CCW between units. Previous evaluations have shown that the units are capable of reaching and maintaining Mode 3 even if all ICW is lost. Therefore this condition 10 CFR 21 definition of a Substantial Safety does not meet the Hazard.

SAFETY EVALUATZON JPN-PTN-SENJ-90-114 Revision 1 OPERABZLZTY ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENT COOLZNG RATER SYSTEM FOR SPLZT HEADER CONFZGURATZONS As a consequence of a recent review of th'e Component Cooling Water (CCW) pump inservice testing procedures 3-0SP-030.1 and 4-0SP-030.1, the acceptability of splitting the two CCW headers during pump inservice flow testing and other operations requiring split CCW, headers was addressed. This evaluation focused on single electrical failures, because the power supplies for the three CCW pumps and certain Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems, such as the three Emergency Containment Coolers (ECCs), cannot be configured to serve the needs of a fully redundant and automatic two-train fluid system.
Licensee Event Report (LER) 3-90-021-00 was submitted to the NRC on November 13, 1990, to report the splitting, of the two CCW headers without entering the appropriate Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) on October 18, 1990.
Safet Evaluation Summar The operation of the ICW and CCW systems in the split header configurations for inservice testing should have been accompanied by entry into the appropriate LCO Action statement for equipment out-of-service. However, procedural controls. would have ensured restoration of systems .to their normal "open" configuration in the event of an accident. With such operator actions, the .system configurations would have provided heat removal within their respective design bases.
The CCW system operating in a split header configuration for movement of the cask in the cask washdown area resulted in the plant operating outside its design basis. Although the plant was operating outside its design basis, this did not result in.a significant safety concern for the following reasons:
based on sensitivity studies performed, that the minimum containment design it is not expected pressure would be exceeded;
- 2) there is a high probability of restoring AC power to the nuclear units after one (1) hour;
- 3) Systematic Design Investigation Program risk based methodologies were applied and the resultant probability for the dominant failure scenario is very low and not a significant contributor to the overall risk of a core melt.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SEMJ-90-115 Revision 0 PRESSURIZER SURGE LINE THERMAL STRATIFICATION (BULLETIN 88-11)
On December 20, 1988, the NRC issued Bulletin 88-11 regarding pressurizer surge line thermal stratification. FPL is participating in a program which has been implemented to address the issue of thermal stratification.
Safet Evaluation Summar This evaluation concludes that the Justification for Continued Operation (JCO) forwarded to the NRC in FPL letter number L-89-194 is still valid. Visual inspections of the pressurizer surge lines revealed superficial damage to the insulation consistent with the expected thermal movements considering stratification effects. Also a variable spring support in Unit 3 was shown to be bottomed out, however, the support showed no signs of damage. Several cracks in the saddle-to-pipe welds were found in Unit 4. These welds serve only to hold the saddle in -place and do not provide load carrying capacity to the support. The variable spring assembly did not display any signs of damage.
This safety evaluation concluded that the as-found condition of the pressurizer surge lines is acceptable, with no adverse impact on plant safety, security, or operation. This as-found condition did not create an unreviewed safety question or require a change to the Technical Specifications.

SAFETY EVALUATION: JPN-PTN-SEEP-91-002 Revision 1 GENERAL ELECTRIC IAV UNDERVOLTAGE RELAY SETPOINTS Turkey Point Florida Power and Light Quality Assurance Audit QAO-PTN-90-039, Finding 2, identified a concern regarding the setpoints for the General Electric IAV undervoltage relays. The specific concern identified was that the relays may not be repeatable with respect to the specific setpoints and tolerances. In response to this concern, the calibration frequency has been increased from 18 months to 12 months. The increase in the frequency of the calibrations provides a greater confidence that the relay setpoints remain within acceptable tolerances. This safety evaluation was performed to determine the acceptability of this corrective action.
Safet Evaluat'ion Summar The safety evaluation concluded that this change provided a reasonable assurance that the relay setpoints will not drift outside their allowable tolerances. This, procedural change does not have an adverse effect on plant safety, security, or operation, and does not constitute an unreviewed safety question or change any Technical Specifications. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not required for implementation.

SAFETY EVALUATION: J'PN-PTN-SEMS-91-003 Revision 0 CONTINUOUS PRESSURIZER SPRAY FOR RCS COOLDOWN This safety evaluation was performed by the nuclear steam supply vendor to.evaluate the use of a pressurizer continuous spray when the RCS to pressurizer differential temperature is 200 F <a,T < 320'F to aid in plant cooldowns to reduce the potential for exceeding the heatup/cooldown limits. In addition this evaluation addressed two transients that occurred at Turkey Point.
Safet Evaluation Summar The vendor calculations determined that a continuous, pressurizer spray could be utilized in lieu of the fourth and fifth spray transients without imposing additional .stresses .during cooldown.
Note that the first three (60) sixty second sprays are required prior utilizing continuous spray.
The safety evaluation concluded that this change does not have an adverse effect on plant safety, security, or operation, and does not constitute an unreviewed'afety question or change any Technical Specifications. Therefore, prior NRC approval was not required for implementation.

SETPOINT CHANGES PRIOR TO FINAL NRC APPROVAL OF TS CHANGES In an effort to reduce the critical path time associated with the numerous procedural and setpoint changes produced by the Setpoints licensing amendment, a proposal has been made to update the applicable procedures and implement the setpoint changes as applicable while the units are defueled or in Modes 6 and 5 and restrict the units to those modes until the approved amendment is issued'y the NRC. The setpoints are not needed until the unit enters Mode 4.
Safet Evaluation Summa The safety evaluation concluded that with these mode restrictions, these setpoint changes do not affect plant safety, and do not create an unreviewed safety question or change any Technical Specifications.
Therefore, prior NRC approval is not required for implementation.
Note, the licensee amendment request in question was initiated while the units were still defueled. The actions described in this safety evaluation enabled the licensee to make sufficient setpoint change modifications to prevent this task from becoming critical path.

The Auxiliary Building, Spent Fuel Buildings, and Radwaste Building ventilation systems, and the Containment Purge System were installed, before the testing requirements were developed and no physical modifications were made to the systems to allow performance of these tests.
,Safet Evaluation Summar The safety evaluation concluded that the current program of accelerated- replacement of the HEPA filters is sufficient to insure operability of the filters located in the exhaust vents of the Auxiliary Building, Spent Fuel Buildings, Radwaste Building, and Containment Purge System. The only advantage the tests would provide is the operability assurances that would permit the filters to remain in use for a longer period of time.

'UBE OIL SYSTEM A temporary filtration system was installed to reduce particulates in the Unit 4 Turbine Lube Oil System and the Unit 4 Generator Seal Oil Systems. This temporary system was installed and'perated in accordance with a temporary procedure. The high velocity oi.'1 flush was installed and operated while Unit 4 is out of service for -the Dual Unit Outage. The high velocity oil flush had no adverse impact on any safety related .system for Unit 3 or Unit 4.
Safet Evaluation Summar The evaluation showed that this temporary system did not adversely affect equipment addressed in the Technical Specifications.
Therefore, the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specifications was not reduced since .the basis of any Technical Specification was not affected.
Thus, this evaluation demonstrates that the temporary system alteration did not involve an unreviewed safety question or require a change to the Technical Specification pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59, and prior NRC approval for this activity was not required.

The repair required that the gate be lifted entirely out of the spent fuel pool. Although previous lifts of this gate had been made, the current safety evaluation in effect during this dual unit outage prohibits heavy load lifts over the spent fuel pool during this outage. This evaluation assessed the proposed gate a basis for a temporary waiver of compliance.

Based on this evaluation, this change did not constitute an unreviewed safety question or a change to the plant Technical Specification pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59.
Thus, this evaluation demonstrated that this lift d'id not involve an unreviewed safety question or change to the Technical Specification pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59. However, due to the possi.bility that the lift may bring the- gate over spent fuel, prior NRC approval for this activity was required and obtained.

FUNCTION:
These valves open to provide flowpaths from the auxiliary feedwater pumps to the respective steam generators.
SECTION XI RE UIREMENT If, for power-operated 504 or more for valves valves, an increase. in stroke time of wi.th full-stroke times less than or equal to 10 seconds is observed, the test -frequency shall be increased to once each month until corrective action is taken, at which time the original test frequency shall be resumed (IWV-3417(a))
BASIS FOR RELIEF:
These valves open with nitrogen or instrument air pressure from a positioner signal to control auxiliary feedwater flow to the steam generators. In the event of a loss, of air or electric power to the valve control system, they will fail to the closed position. When a valve is closed it can be, opened by pressure from the associated AFW. pumps, thus it affords no isolation to prevent over-.feeding the steam generators and therefore these valves have no specific safety function in the closed position.
.9201080ll9
RELIEF REQUEST NO. VR-2 (cont.,)
BASIS FOR RELIEF cont.
The initial opening signal for these valves comes from a limit switch in the associated AFW pump steam supply motor-operated valve(s). After a valve opens, its position is determined by the automatic flow control system or with a manual controller located in the Control Room. Due to the automatic functioning of the valves and the absence of position indication devices, there is no practical mechanism for accurately measuring valve stroke time.
These valves are subjected to periodic testing that verifies proper operation of the valves upon initiation of AFW system initiation and proper response and positioning of each valve to a respective control system output air,signal. These tests provide a high level of confidence that the valves will perform their safety function as intended.
Stroke times of these valves are determined by adjusting the manual controller in the Control Room while a local observer at the valve measures the movement time of the valve stem.
The stroke time measurements taken during 'testing of these valves are expected to be less than 10 seconds. Due to the relative speed of the valves and consideration of the method of measurement of these stroke times, the test data is subject to considerable variation due to conditions unrelated to the material condition of the valve (eg. test conditions, operator reaction time, communication lag).
The proposed alternate testing along with;the additional testing performed outside the scope of the IST Program will provide adequate assurance that these valves will perform, as required, with a high degree of reliability.
ALTERNATE TESTING:
The stroke time for these valves will be determined but the evaluation of the stroke times will not account for
.successive increases of measured stroke time per IWV-3417(a) with the change in test frequency as required. In lieu of this, an assigned maximum limiting value of stroke time will be established consistent with the operational requirements for the valves and of the AFW system and the stroke time history of the valves when they are known to be operating satisfactorily. Upon exceeding that limit, a subject valve will be declared inoperable and corrective action taken in accordance with IWV-3417(b).

These valves are positioned from the Control Room by manually adjusting a DC electric current signal input to a current-to-air pressure converter that transmits a pre-determined air pressure to the valve positioner that adjusts valve position and the associated charging and reactor coolant pump seal injection flows. In the event of a loss of air or electric power to the valve control system, they will fail in the open position. Since there is no position indication or specific actuating signal for these valves to effect valve operation, measuring an accurate stroke time per IWV-3413 is not practical however, local observation of valve movement and operation is an effective way of ascertaining the material condition of the valves.
Stroke times of these valves are determined by adjusting the manual controller in the Control Room while a local observer at the valve measures the movement time of the valve stem.
Due to the expected relatively high speed of the valves and consideration of the method of measurement of these stroke times, the test data is subject to considerable variation due to conditions unrelated to the material condition of the valve (eg. test conditions, operator reaction time, communication lag) .
ALTERNATE TESTING:
The stroke time for these valves will be determined but the evaluation for these valves will not account for successive increases of measured stroke time per IWV-3417(a) with the change in test frequency as required. In lieu of this, an assigned maximum limiting value of stroke, time will be established consistent with the operational requirements for the valves and of the CVCS system and the stroke time history of the valves when they are known to be operating satisfactorily.

These valves open to provide flowpaths from the containment spray pumps to the containment spray headers in containment.
They are required to close for containment isolation.
SECTION XI RE UIREMENT:
Check valves shall .be exercised at least once every 3 months, except as provided by IWV-3522. (IWV-3521)
BASIS FOR RELIEF:
Full-stroke exercising these valves to the open position would require operating each containment spray pump at nominal accident flowrate. Since no recirculation flowpath exists downstream of these valves, the only flowpath available for such a test would result in injecting radioactive-contaminated borated water into the containment spray headers and thence into the containment building. via the spray nozzles. Dousing personnel and equipment in this manner is obviously undesirable.

Each of these valves has been disassembled and inspected in the past and they have not displayed any indication of degradation that would impede their capability to perform their safety function to open. Past inspections were conducted as follows with no indication of a valve's in-operability with respect to its capability to full open:
3-0890A 4-7-90 3-0890B 3-24-90 4-0890A 3-18-89 and 3-8-91 4-0890B 3-18-89 and 3-8-91 Partial stroking of the valves can be achieved by pressurizing the upstream piping with air or nitrogen via the air test connection. This, however, results in the possibility of creating an airborne contamination condition in the auxil'iary. building or containment and, furthermore, would result in minimal valve disc movement. Hence, such testing would be of little value in determining valve.
operability.
These valves remain closed at all times except when the core spray system operates during an .incident for containment cooling and de-pressurization.
Since these are simple-acting check valves with no provision for determining disc position, the only practical means of verifying closure involves performing a leaktest.
Performance of such a test at each cold shutdown requires isolation of the containment spray headers and a valve alignment to allow for pressurizing the downstream piping with air or nitrogen and venting the upstream piping. If this activity were required to be performed'uring cold shutdown periods it would constitute an unreasonable burden on the plant staff that is not justi'fied by any benefit gained from verifying the valves have remained closed when there is no reason to believe otherwise.

During each reactor refueling outage at least one of these valves in the associated unit will be disassembled, inspected, and manually exercised on a .sequential and rotating schedule. If, in the course of this inspection a valve is found to be inoperable with respect to its function to fully open, then the other valve in the same unit will be inspected during the same outage.
Following valve disassembly, the subject valve(s) will be partial-stroked in the open direction with air or nitrogen pressure followed by a seat leakage test to verify proper functioning.
Each of these valves will be verified to be closed at least once every two (2) years in conjunction with Appendix Z leaktesting activities.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:
Because no recirculation path exists downstream of these valves, exercising these valves requires operating a safety injection pump and injecting into the reactor coolant system. At power operation this is not possible because the SIS pumps cannot develop sufficient discharge pressure to overcome reactor coolant system pressure.

In 1988, all three valves in Unit 4 and. in 1990 one valve in Unit 3 were disassembled and inspected, and after approximately 15 years of plant operation for each valve, they were found to be fully operable and in excellent condition. Based on this history, an inspection interval of 10 years is sufficient to ensure continued operability of these valves.
These six valves have been reviewed against the EPRI installation guidelines and it was predicted that under service conditions, the disc will oscillate at low, levels with low fatigue and wear indices.
A review of industry experience was performed using the INPO NPRDS failure history database with the following results:
- A total of 90 failures of safety injection check valves was reported including both combined injection path valves and typically identical accumulator discharge valves.
- A total of 46 failures (514) were a result of seat leakage.
- A total of 35 failures (39%) were a result of leakage of the body-to-bonnet joint (ie. gasket failure) with no effect on the safety function of the valves.
- All other failures (9) were of a design or wear nature where conditions were identified as a result of mandated inspections or inspections initiated by the plant staff for other .concerns. Six of these are related to cracking of the retainer block studs on Anchor Darling valves.
- Of the total, failures of Anchor Darling valves similar to those installed at Turkey Point, represented 33 failures.

It has been demonstrated, by testing, that these valves can be fully opened by blowdown from a partially pressurized (100 psig.) accumulator to the associated RCS loop. During such a test, unobtrusive testing techniques could be applied to verify full stroking of these valves. This method, however, presents safety problems when performed during periods when fuel is in the reactor. These concerns include the potential for dislodging fuel assemblies and gas binding of the residual heat. removal pumps. Either of these concerns precludes routine performance of accumulator blowdown tests without off-loading the core. Imposition of a requirement for core off-load and accumulator dump testing during each reactor refueling outage would, constitute an unjustified burden on the plant staff and would result in a significant and unwarranted impact on plant availability.
The maximum flowrate achievable by means other than accumulator discharge is approximately 4000 gpm developed by two RHR pumps injecting into a de-pressurized .reactor coolant system. This flowrate results in a flow velocity of approximately 20 feet per second (fps) equal to approximately 40% of the peak flowrate expected during accumulator injection. The valve manufacturer's data indicates that 20 fps. is "approximately" that flowrate required to open these valves. Due to the lack of sufficient margin. whereby full stroke of these valves can be assured at this flowrate, it is questionable as to the capability of'onsistently full-stroking .these valves with this limited flowrate such that non-intrusive testing could be employed effectively and reliably.
Due to the system configuration, the total flow from the two RHR pumps 4000 gpm can be directed through ~-875A alone; however, in the case of valves *-875B and *-875C, the flow is split between the two valves, theoretically 2000 gpm through each valve. This is clearly inadequate to fully open the "B" and "C" valves.
Because no downstream recirculation path exists partial-flow testing of these valves requires injecting into the RCS. At power operation this is not possible because neither the RHR or the SIS pumps can develop sufficient discharge pressure to overcome reactor coolant system pressure. During normal cold shutdown conditions, however, injection via the RHR pumps can be accomplished.

BASIS FOR RELIEF:
These valves are totally enclosed solenoid valves having no local or remote position indication nor any other means of determining valve position, thus, measuring an accurate stroke time, is impractical., They are opened in response to a signal from a day tank level switch that also starts the associated pump. The only option available for taking such measurements would be to replace these valv'es and control circuits with those of a design that would provide an appropriate means of allowing accurate stroke time determination. The installed valves and control system are well suited to the intended service and backfitting merely for providing accurate stroke time information is considered to be unwarranted at this time.
Note that the stroke times of these valves is not critical from the aspect of accident mitigation. A qualitative assessment of valve operation by local observation will be adequate for ensuring the proper operation of the valves.
RELIEF REQUEST NO. VR-32 (cont.)
BASIS FOR RELIEF cont.
An estimate of valve stroke time can be obtained by inserting a "dummy" start signal from the. associated day tank level control system and noting the satisfactory operation of the diesel fuel oil transfer pump and subjective flow assessment through the solenoid valves. The stroke time measurements taken during testing of these valves are expected to be on the order of '2-4 seconds. Due to the relative speed of the valves and consideration of the method of measurement of these times, the test data is subject to considerable variation due to conditions unrelated to the material condition of the valve (eg. test conditions, operator reaction time, communication lag).
ALTERNATE TESTING:
During quarterly diesel generator testing each of these valves will be exercised and verified to operate satisfactorily. The stroke time for these valves will be determined but the evaluation of the stroke times will not account for successive increases of measured stroke time per IWV-3417(a) with the change in test frequency as required.
In lieu of this, an assigned maximum limiting value of stroke time will be established consistent with the operational requirements for the valve and of the diesel fuel oil system and with the stroke time history of the valves when they are known to be operating, acceptably. Upon exceeding that limit, a subject valve will be declared inoperable and corrective action taken in accordance with IWV-3417 (b) .
