number of items required by NUREG-0737 to be implemented in the licensee's Technical Specifications (TS) by December 31, 1981. Each licensee was requested to review their facility's TS, to address areas of compliance., and to identify deviations or absence of a specification for the items identified in .the generic letter within 90 days of receipt of the letter.
Section6.2.2oftheSt.LucieUnit2TScontainstheovertimelimi'.sasspecified inGenericLetter82-12andistherefore incompletecompliance withNUREQ-0737 ItemI.A.1.3.1.OnJune30,1983,anotegramfromD.C.Fischer,LeadProjecManager10forthemaintopicI.A~1.3wassenttotheoperating reactorprojectmanagerforSt.LuciePlantUnit1requesting thattheTACnumberbeclosedou.forItemI.A.1.3.1onSt.LuciePlantUnit1.Nofurtherlicensing actionisrequiredforthisitem.3.3ShortTermAuxiliarFeedwater SstemAFWSEvaluation II.E.1.1ThelicenseehasstatedinhisresponsethattheexistingSt.LuciePlantUnit1AFWSTSlimitingconditions ofoperation andsurveillance, requirements aresimilarto.thatofothersafetyrelatedsystems.Section3.7,1.2and4.7.1.2oftheSt.LuciePlantUnits1and2TSprovidethecondition foroperation andthesurveillance requirements.
The  Florida Power and Light Company..(FPL), the licensee for St. Lucie Plant Unit Nos. 1 and 2, provided a response to the generic letter on December 22, 1982, 3 for St. Lucie Plant. Unit No. 1. The NUREG-0737 items for St. 'Lucie Plant Unit No. 2 were covered in Amendment 5 to the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for St. Lucie Plant Unit No. 2.

: 2. 9  U  rade Babcock and    Wi 1 cox  B8W  AFWS  I I . K. 2. 8 Additional long-term AFWS modifications were to be performed in conjuction with Generic Letter 82-l6 Items 3 and 4 ( Items 2.3 and 2.4 above). The TS implemented    for  Items  3  and 4 wi 1.1 also address the upgrade of 'the  BEW AFWS;   therefore no separate      TS  would be required for this item for the    BKW  Plants.
 
2.10  BEW  Safet -Grade    An  icioa.or Reactor Tri        II.K.2.10 Safety-grade turbine trip equipment initiating a reactor trip was to be implemented by the BEW designed plants as part of the TMI lessons learned. The licensee is to implement in the TS the trip setpoint, number of channels, trip conditions, minimal channels required for operation, applicable operating modes, actions to be taken, surveillance required and any other requirements for safety-grade equipment.
: 2. 11  BEW  Thermal-Mechanical       Report  II. ~. 13 Licensees of MW operating reactors were required to submit, by January 1, 1981, an analysis of the thermal-,mechanical conditions in the reactor vessel during recovery from small breaks with an extended loss of all feedwater. TS,       if  required, will be determined following NRC staff 1
review.
2.12   Reoortin Safest and Relief. Valve Failures and.
Chal l enoes  I I. K. 3. 3 NUREG-0660   stated that safety and relief .valve failures be reported promptly and challenges be reported annually. The sections of the TS that discuss reporting requirements should be accordingly changed. The NRC has noted that an acceptable alternative would be to report challenges monthly. 1 2.13    Anticioator Trio        on Turbine Tri    II.K.3.12 Licensees with Westinghouse-designed           operating plants have confirmed that their plants have an anticipatory reactor trip upon turbine trip.
Many of these plants already have this trip in the TS.               For those that do 1
not, the anticipatory trip should be added to the TS.
For the St. Lucie Plant Unit          1  and 2,  the above Items 2.9, 2. 10, and 2. 11 are  not being evaluated.         Being a  Combustion Engineering design,
 
Items 2.9 and 2.10 are not applicable for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 and 2.
For Item 2.11, FPL's Thermal-Mechanical Report is beino handled as an active Three Nile Island (TMI) action i. em under TAG number 46905 for St.
Lucie Plant Unit 1.
: 3. EVALUATION The  evaluations of Generic Letter 82-16 Items are        as follows:
3.1  STA  Trainin    I.A.1.1.3 The  licensee has stated in his response      for St Lucie Unit
                                                            ~             1  that this item was addressed by TS Amendment No. 37. In Table 6.2-1 of both St.
Lucie Plant Unit 1 and 2 TS, 6,7  'he      STA is designated as being required in the minimal shift crew composition for operational modes 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Section 6.3. 1 specifies " he Shift Technical Advisor who shall have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a scientific or engineering discipline with specific training in plant design and in the response and analysis of the plant for transients and accidents.")i6 The retraining and replacement training program for the facility staff is stated in Section 6.4.1 of the TS. The exact training program for the STA is not in the TS.            In 4
Amendment 5 to the St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 FSAR Appendix 1.9A, the NUREG-0737 'items are addressed.       Tne licensee states that Chapter 13 of the FSAR has been revised to address the requiremen          of NUREG-0737 Item I.A. l. l. Subsection 13. 1.2.2 specifies the responsibility, authority, phase oW plans, and reporting relationships; subsection 13. 1.3. 1 and 13.2. 1. 1.2 specify the training requirements.
In  a  letter 8 from the NRC to the licensee, dated January 26, 1982, the  NRC  stated that Item I.A. 1. 1.3 of NUREG-0737 is resolved.
Until fur her guidance is issued by the Commission,           no further licensing action is required for this item.
3.2  Shift Hannin  Over.ime    Limits I.A. 1.3. 1 The  licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that the overtime limitations are adequately enforced by administrative procedures and that no amendment to the TS is necessary at this time. This
 
policy  was  accepted by the NRC in the letter from R. A. Clark to R. E. Uhrig, dated February 4, 1982.       The TS for St. Lucie Unit  1 do  not contain any shift manning overtime limitation requirements.
Section 6.2.2 of the St. Lucie Unit 2 TS contains the overtime limi'.s as specified in Generic Letter 82-12 and is therefore in complete compliance with NUREQ-0737 Item I.A. 1.3. 1.
On  June 30, 1983, a notegram from D. C. Fischer, Lead Projec Manager for the main topic I.A 1.3 10 was sent to the operating reactor project
                            ~
manager    for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 requesting that the TAC number be closed ou. for Item I.A. 1.3. 1 on St. Lucie Plant Unit 1. No further licensing action is required for this item.
3.3    Short Term Auxi liar  Feedwater S  stem  AFWS  Evaluation  II.E. 1. 1 The  licensee has stated in his response that the exi sti ng St. Luci e Plant Unit 1 AFWS TS limiting conditions of operation and surveillance, requirements are similar to.that of other safety related systems.
Section 3.7,1.2 and 4.7. 1.2 of the St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 TS provide the condition for operation and the surveillance requirements.
In enclosure 2 of the FPL letter 11 to the NRC, dated January 2, 1981, the licensee addresses NUREG-0737 Item II.E.1.1 for St. Lucie Plant Unit, 1.- The enclosure is a report which provides the description of AFWS modifications to be implemented by January 1, 1982 and the safety evalua ion of the system.
Amendment 5    to the St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 FSAR Appendix 1.9A addresses NUREG-0737 Item II.E.1.1. A reliability analysis was performed to determine dominant failure modes and assess AFWS reliability levels. The results of the reliability evaluation are provided in Appendix 10.4.9B of the FSAR. A safety review was also provided using the guidance in Standard Review. Plan 10.4.9.     The results are provided in Appendix 10.4.9.A of the FSAR.
 
Review  of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 indicated that the limiting conditions of operation and surveillance requirements are similar to those other safety-related systems identified in the TS. No further licensing action is required for this item.
3.4    Safet  Grade AFW  Initiation and Flow  Indication    II.E. 1.2 The  licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that TS Amendment No. 37, whi.ch was approved by the NRC January 19, 1981, contains all the information pertaining to the safety grade AFW System initiation and flow indication.
In enclosure 2 of the FPL letter to the NRC, dated January 2, 1981, the licensee addresses NUREG-0737 Item ICE. 1.2 for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1. This item is covered for S . Lucie Plant Unit 2 in Amendment 5 to the FSAR in Appendix 1.9A. Review of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 indicates that the AFW initiation and flow indication are safety grade. No further licensing action is required for this item.
3.5  Dedicated  H drooen Penetrations  II.E.4. 1 The  licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that their hydrogen recombiners are internal but that a hydrogen purge system was installed and the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS subjects the hydrogen purge valves to the criteria specified in Appendix J of 10CFR 50.
In Amendment 5 to St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 FSAR, the licensee has stated that redundant internal hydrogen recombiners are provided. Therefore, NUREG-0737 Item I.E.4. 1 is not applicable to St. Lucie Plant Unit 2.       A discussion of the internal hydrogen recombiners is provided in Subsec ion 6.2.5 of the FSAR.
Review  of the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS indicates that the valves are subject to the requirements of Appendix J of 10CFR 50 and since St. Lucie Plan Unit 2 utilizes internal hydrogen recombiners and apparently has not
 
added  additional piping      and valves,  it is concluded that    he NUREG-0737 item requirements      are met. No further licensing action is required for thi s i tern.
3.6    Containment Pressure    Setooint    II.E.4.2.5 The  licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that analysis was provided to the NRC justifying the present setpoint for containment pressure.         The NRC accepted the present setpoint in ihe let er R. A: Clark co R. E. Uhrig, dated January 20, 1982. 12 Review    of Table 2.2-1 of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 indicates the setpoint limits are in accordance -'o the recommended guidelines of Generic Letter 82-16. No fur.her licensing ac.ion is required for this item.
3.7  Containment Puroe Valve      II.E.4.2.6 The  licensee has. stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 t'hat a response was provided to the NRC in FPL letter L-82-317, dated July 30, 1982. However, it is not indicated that an NRC acceptance was given. Review of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 indica es that
~
compliance to Generic Letter 82-16 has not been met.. The St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 TS Section 3/4.6 provides the information on the containment purge valve limiting condition for operation, surveillance requi rements, and the testing to be performed on the valves. The TS Section 3.6. 1.7 specifies hat the purge valves be sealed closed and verified at least once per 31 days except for safety related activities.           The TS leak testing is type C which is performed with gas at intervals no greater than 24 mon.hs.
St. Lucie'lant Unit 2 TS meets the recommended guidance of Generic Let er 82"16. No further licensing action is needed for Unit 2.
10
 
~ ~
3.8    Radiation Si nal  on Pur e  Valves    II.E.4.2.7 The  licensee has    s ated in his response    for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that the existing TS requires that within 24 hours, the plant begins proceeding to cold shutdown should all containment radiation monitors fail. Also the containment isolation is initiated by high radiation (and other signals) closing the purge valves.
Review    of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Units      1  and 2  indicate that the requirements of NUREG-0737 Item II.E.4.2.7 have          been  met. No further licensing action is required for this item.
3.9    Upgrade Babcock and Wilcox    .B8W  AFWS  II.K.2.8 St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 are a Combustion Engineering design and, therefore, the requi remeRts of this item are not applicable. No licensing action is required.
: 3. 10  B&W  Safet -Grade Antici ator    Reactor Tri      II.K,2. 10
                                            ~
Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 are a Combustion Engineering design and,
                                              't.
therefore, the requiremen'ts of this item are not applicable. The anticipatory trip is evaluated under NUREG-0737 Item II.K.3.3 for the '
Westinghouse design.       No licensing action is required.
3.11  BKW  Thermal-Mechanical  Re  ort II.K.2.13 St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 are a Combustion Engineering design and, therefore', the requirements of this item are not applicable. It has been noted that there is an active TMI action item Thermal-Mechanical Report for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 under TAC Number 46905. No licensing action is required by Generic Letter 82-16 for this item.
11
: 3. 12  Reoortino Safet and Relief Valve Failures and Challenaes    II.K.3.3 The  licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that a commitment I.o report safety and relief valve challenges on an annual basis was given in their letter L-80-184, dated July 13, '1980. The licensee also committed to make both TS compatible to the requirements of Gene.ic Letter 82-16 following finalization of the St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 TS.
Review  of the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS indicates that Sec.ion 6.9. 1.6 has not been amended yet to include the reporting on a monthly basis for all'challenges to the valves. St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 TS Section 6.9. 1.6 is
'n  compliance with the requirements o Generic Letter 82-16. No further licensing action is required for S . Lucie Plant Unit 2.
: 3. 13  Anticioator Trio    on Turbine Trip II.K.3. 12 The  licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit  1 that although not a Westinghouse design, the TS adequately cover the anticipatory trip on turbine trip.
Review  of the  TS Tables 2.2-1, 3.3-1 and 3.3-2 indicate that the requirements    set forth in Generic Letter 82-16 have been met. No further licensing action is required.
12
: 4. CONCLUSIONS Based on our  review, we find the licensee conforms to those issues addressed    in Generic Letter 82-16 on TS, except for those identified as follows:
1.,   Section 3. 1 STA Training  Until further guidance is provided by the Commission, no further licensing action can be taken to determine whether the exact training program for the STA is required to be in the TS.
: 2. Section 3.2 Shif- Manning-Overtime Limits    St. Lucie Plant Unit  1 TS do not contain shift-manning overtime limits, however, FPL's overtime limits policy was accepted by the NRC.
: 3. Section 3.7 Containment Purge Valve    St. Lucie Plant Unit  1 TS da not comply with the, requirements of Generic Letter 82-16.
: 4. Section 3. 11 Thermal-Mechanical Report  The Thermal-Mechanical
          , Report for St. Lucie Plant Unit No. 1 is being handled as an active TMI action item under TAC number 46905: There is no identified 'TMI action item for the St. Lucie Plant Unit No. 2 Thermal-Mechanical Report. Generic Letter 82-16 does not require any licensing action for this item.
: 5. Section3,.12 Reporting Safety and Relief Valve Failures and Challenges  The present St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS do not comply with the requirements of Generic Letter 82-16. However, FPL is presently updating the St. Lucie Unit 1 TS to conform with the St. Lucie Unit 2 TS. When this i5 completed and approved by the NRC, the St. Lucie Unit 1 TS should be in compliance with ihe requirements of Generic Letter 82-16.

CONFORMANCE TO NRR GENERIC LETTER 82" 16 ST. LUCIE PLANT UNIT NOS 1 AND 2

1. INTRODUCTION On September 20, 1982, Generic Letter 82-16 1 was issued by D. G. Eisenhut, Director of Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regula'tion (NRR), to all pressurized power reactor licensees. This letter identified' 2

number of items required by NUREG-0737 to be implemented in the licensee's Technical Specifications (TS) by December 31, 1981. Each licensee was requested to review their facility's TS, to address areas of compliance., and to identify deviations or absence of a specification for the items identified in .the generic letter within 90 days of receipt of the letter.

The Florida Power and Light Company..(FPL), the licensee for St. Lucie Plant Unit Nos. 1 and 2, provided a response to the generic letter on December 22, 1982, 3 for St. Lucie Plant. Unit No. 1. The NUREG-0737 items for St. 'Lucie Plant Unit No. 2 were covered in Amendment 5 to the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) for St. Lucie Plant Unit No. 2.

This interim report provides an evaluation of the licensee's TS and Nuclear Regulatory Commi ssion (NRC) correspondence with the licensee pertaining to those items identified in the generic letter.

2. REVIEW REQUIREMENTS The review consists of evaluating <he licensee's response, currently approved TS, and other NRR approvals agains. the criteria set forth in Generic Letter 82-16. The NUREG-0737 items and the criteria established are as follows:

2.1 STA Trainin I.A.1.1.3 The licensee is to address within their TS that a shift, technical advisor (STA) to the shift supervisor is p0ovided. In addition, the qualifications, training, .and on-duty requirements for the STA should be stated.

2.2 Sh-ift Mannin -Ov'ertime Limi'ts I.A. 1.3. 1 The licensee is to provide chanaes to. heir TS providing overtime administrative procedure and staffing requirements. The following guidelines were established for the licensee by the NRC.

"a ~ An individual should not be permitted to work more than 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> straight (excluding shift turnover time).

b. An individual should not be permitted to work more than 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> in any 24-hour period, nor more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> in any 48-hour period, nor more than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> in any seven day period (all excluding shift turnover time).
c. A break of at least eight hours should be allowed between work periods (including shift turnover time).
d. Except during extended shutdown periods, the use of overtime should be considered on an individual basis and no. for the entire s aff on a shift.

Recognizing that very unusual circumstances may arise requi~ing deviation from the above guidelines, such deviation shall be authorized by the plant manager or his deputy, or higher levels of manaoement. The paramount consideration in such authorization shall be that significant reductions in the effectiveness of operating personnel would be highly un i ke 1y.

1

In addition, procedures are encouraoed that would allow licensed

'operators at the controls to be periodically relieved and assigned to othe'r duties away from the control board during their tour of duty."5 2.3 Short Term Auxiliar Feedwater S stem AFWS Evaluation II.E.1.1 The objective of this item is to improve the reliability and performance of the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system. TS depend on the results of the licensee's evaluation and the staff review, and are being developed separately for each plant. The limiting conditions of operation (LCO's) and surveillance requirements for the AFW system should be similar to other safety-related systems. 1 2.4 Safet Grade AFW Initiation and Flow Indication II.E. 1.2 The AFW system automatic initiation system was to have been control grade 'by June 1, 1980, and safety grade by July 1, 1981; the AFW system flow indication was to have been control grade by January 1, 1980, and safety grade by July 1, 1981.

2.5 Dedicated H droaen Penetrations II.E.4. 1 Plants that use externa1 'recombikers or purge sys.ems for f

post-accident combustible gas control of the containment atmosphere should provide containment 'penetrations dedicated to that service. In satisfying his item, some plants may have to add some additional piping and valves.

If so, these val.ves should be subjected to the requirements of Appendix J of 10CFR 50, and the TS should be modifi'ed accordingly.

2.6 Containment Pressure Setooint II.E.4.2.5 The containment pressure setpoint that. initiates containment isolation must be reduced to'the minimum compatible with normal operating conditions. Host plants provided j.ustification for not changing their setpoint and the NRC has approved thei r justification by separate correspondence. The. remaining plants must submit a change to the TS with

the. lower containment pressure setpoint and provide justification if this setpoint is more than 1 psi above maximum expected containment pressure 1

during normal operation.

2.7 Containment Purae Valves II.E.4.2.6 Model TS were sent separately to each plant as part of the overall containment purge review. These TS include the requirement that the containment purge valves be locked closed except for safety related ac.ivities, verified closed at least every 31 days, and. be subjected to le'akage rate limits.

2.8 Radiation Sianal on Puroe Valves II.E.4.2.7 The containment purge valves must close promptly to reduce the amount of radiation released outside containment following a release of radioactive materials to containment. TS should include the requirement that a least one radiation monitor that automatically closes the purge valves upon sensing high radiation in the containment atmosphere be operable at all times except cold shutdowns and refueling outaoes.

0 If not operable, ei.her the plant should begin proceeding'o cold shutdown within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or the purge valves should be closed within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Model TS were provided in Standard Technical Specifications format for those plants that are using safety-grade components to satisfy the requirement. 1

2. 9 U rade Babcock and Wi 1 cox B8W AFWS I I . K. 2. 8 Additional long-term AFWS modifications were to be performed in conjuction with Generic Letter 82-l6 Items 3 and 4 ( Items 2.3 and 2.4 above). The TS implemented for Items 3 and 4 wi 1.1 also address the upgrade of 'the BEW AFWS; therefore no separate TS would be required for this item for the BKW Plants.

2.10 BEW Safet -Grade An icioa.or Reactor Tri II.K.2.10 Safety-grade turbine trip equipment initiating a reactor trip was to be implemented by the BEW designed plants as part of the TMI lessons learned. The licensee is to implement in the TS the trip setpoint, number of channels, trip conditions, minimal channels required for operation, applicable operating modes, actions to be taken, surveillance required and any other requirements for safety-grade equipment.

2. 11 BEW Thermal-Mechanical Report II. ~. 13 Licensees of MW operating reactors were required to submit, by January 1, 1981, an analysis of the thermal-,mechanical conditions in the reactor vessel during recovery from small breaks with an extended loss of all feedwater. TS, if required, will be determined following NRC staff 1

review.

2.12 Reoortin Safest and Relief. Valve Failures and.

Chal l enoes I I. K. 3. 3 NUREG-0660 stated that safety and relief .valve failures be reported promptly and challenges be reported annually. The sections of the TS that discuss reporting requirements should be accordingly changed. The NRC has noted that an acceptable alternative would be to report challenges monthly. 1 2.13 Anticioator Trio on Turbine Tri II.K.3.12 Licensees with Westinghouse-designed operating plants have confirmed that their plants have an anticipatory reactor trip upon turbine trip.

Many of these plants already have this trip in the TS. For those that do 1

not, the anticipatory trip should be added to the TS.

For the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 and 2, the above Items 2.9, 2. 10, and 2. 11 are not being evaluated. Being a Combustion Engineering design,

Items 2.9 and 2.10 are not applicable for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 and 2.

For Item 2.11, FPL's Thermal-Mechanical Report is beino handled as an active Three Nile Island (TMI) action i. em under TAG number 46905 for St.

Lucie Plant Unit 1.

3. EVALUATION The evaluations of Generic Letter 82-16 Items are as follows:

3.1 STA Trainin I.A.1.1.3 The licensee has stated in his response for St Lucie Unit

~ 1 that this item was addressed by TS Amendment No. 37. In Table 6.2-1 of both St.

Lucie Plant Unit 1 and 2 TS, 6,7 'he STA is designated as being required in the minimal shift crew composition for operational modes 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Section 6.3. 1 specifies " he Shift Technical Advisor who shall have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a scientific or engineering discipline with specific training in plant design and in the response and analysis of the plant for transients and accidents.")i6 The retraining and replacement training program for the facility staff is stated in Section 6.4.1 of the TS. The exact training program for the STA is not in the TS. In 4

Amendment 5 to the St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 FSAR Appendix 1.9A, the NUREG-0737 'items are addressed. Tne licensee states that Chapter 13 of the FSAR has been revised to address the requiremen of NUREG-0737 Item I.A. l. l. Subsection 13. 1.2.2 specifies the responsibility, authority, phase oW plans, and reporting relationships; subsection 13. 1.3. 1 and 13.2. 1. 1.2 specify the training requirements.

In a letter 8 from the NRC to the licensee, dated January 26, 1982, the NRC stated that Item I.A. 1. 1.3 of NUREG-0737 is resolved.

Until fur her guidance is issued by the Commission, no further licensing action is required for this item.

3.2 Shift Hannin Over.ime Limits I.A. 1.3. 1 The licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that the overtime limitations are adequately enforced by administrative procedures and that no amendment to the TS is necessary at this time. This

policy was accepted by the NRC in the letter from R. A. Clark to R. E. Uhrig, dated February 4, 1982. The TS for St. Lucie Unit 1 do not contain any shift manning overtime limitation requirements.

Section 6.2.2 of the St. Lucie Unit 2 TS contains the overtime limi'.s as specified in Generic Letter 82-12 and is therefore in complete compliance with NUREQ-0737 Item I.A. 1.3. 1.

On June 30, 1983, a notegram from D. C. Fischer, Lead Projec Manager for the main topic I.A 1.3 10 was sent to the operating reactor project

~

manager for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 requesting that the TAC number be closed ou. for Item I.A. 1.3. 1 on St. Lucie Plant Unit 1. No further licensing action is required for this item.

3.3 Short Term Auxi liar Feedwater S stem AFWS Evaluation II.E. 1. 1 The licensee has stated in his response that the exi sti ng St. Luci e Plant Unit 1 AFWS TS limiting conditions of operation and surveillance, requirements are similar to.that of other safety related systems.

Section 3.7,1.2 and 4.7. 1.2 of the St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 TS provide the condition for operation and the surveillance requirements.

In enclosure 2 of the FPL letter 11 to the NRC, dated January 2, 1981, the licensee addresses NUREG-0737 Item II.E.1.1 for St. Lucie Plant Unit, 1.- The enclosure is a report which provides the description of AFWS modifications to be implemented by January 1, 1982 and the safety evalua ion of the system.

Amendment 5 to the St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 FSAR Appendix 1.9A addresses NUREG-0737 Item II.E.1.1. A reliability analysis was performed to determine dominant failure modes and assess AFWS reliability levels. The results of the reliability evaluation are provided in Appendix 10.4.9B of the FSAR. A safety review was also provided using the guidance in Standard Review. Plan 10.4.9. The results are provided in Appendix 10.4.9.A of the FSAR.

Review of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 indicated that the limiting conditions of operation and surveillance requirements are similar to those other safety-related systems identified in the TS. No further licensing action is required for this item.

3.4 Safet Grade AFW Initiation and Flow Indication II.E. 1.2 The licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that TS Amendment No. 37, whi.ch was approved by the NRC January 19, 1981, contains all the information pertaining to the safety grade AFW System initiation and flow indication.

In enclosure 2 of the FPL letter to the NRC, dated January 2, 1981, the licensee addresses NUREG-0737 Item ICE. 1.2 for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1. This item is covered for S . Lucie Plant Unit 2 in Amendment 5 to the FSAR in Appendix 1.9A. Review of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 indicates that the AFW initiation and flow indication are safety grade. No further licensing action is required for this item.

3.5 Dedicated H drooen Penetrations II.E.4. 1 The licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that their hydrogen recombiners are internal but that a hydrogen purge system was installed and the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS subjects the hydrogen purge valves to the criteria specified in Appendix J of 10CFR 50.

In Amendment 5 to St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 FSAR, the licensee has stated that redundant internal hydrogen recombiners are provided. Therefore, NUREG-0737 Item I.E.4. 1 is not applicable to St. Lucie Plant Unit 2. A discussion of the internal hydrogen recombiners is provided in Subsec ion 6.2.5 of the FSAR.

Review of the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS indicates that the valves are subject to the requirements of Appendix J of 10CFR 50 and since St. Lucie Plan Unit 2 utilizes internal hydrogen recombiners and apparently has not

added additional piping and valves, it is concluded that he NUREG-0737 item requirements are met. No further licensing action is required for thi s i tern.

3.6 Containment Pressure Setooint II.E.4.2.5 The licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that analysis was provided to the NRC justifying the present setpoint for containment pressure. The NRC accepted the present setpoint in ihe let er R. A: Clark co R. E. Uhrig, dated January 20, 1982. 12 Review of Table 2.2-1 of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 indicates the setpoint limits are in accordance -'o the recommended guidelines of Generic Letter 82-16. No fur.her licensing ac.ion is required for this item.

3.7 Containment Puroe Valve II.E.4.2.6 The licensee has. stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 t'hat a response was provided to the NRC in FPL letter L-82-317, dated July 30, 1982. However, it is not indicated that an NRC acceptance was given. Review of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 indica es that

~

compliance to Generic Letter 82-16 has not been met.. The St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 TS Section 3/4.6 provides the information on the containment purge valve limiting condition for operation, surveillance requi rements, and the testing to be performed on the valves. The TS Section 3.6. 1.7 specifies hat the purge valves be sealed closed and verified at least once per 31 days except for safety related activities. The TS leak testing is type C which is performed with gas at intervals no greater than 24 mon.hs.

St. Lucie'lant Unit 2 TS meets the recommended guidance of Generic Let er 82"16. No further licensing action is needed for Unit 2.

10

~ ~

3.8 Radiation Si nal on Pur e Valves II.E.4.2.7 The licensee has s ated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that the existing TS requires that within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, the plant begins proceeding to cold shutdown should all containment radiation monitors fail. Also the containment isolation is initiated by high radiation (and other signals) closing the purge valves.

Review of the TS for St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 indicate that the requirements of NUREG-0737 Item II.E.4.2.7 have been met. No further licensing action is required for this item.

3.9 Upgrade Babcock and Wilcox .B8W AFWS II.K.2.8 St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 are a Combustion Engineering design and, therefore, the requi remeRts of this item are not applicable. No licensing action is required.

3. 10 B&W Safet -Grade Antici ator Reactor Tri II.K,2. 10

~

Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 are a Combustion Engineering design and,

't.

therefore, the requiremen'ts of this item are not applicable. The anticipatory trip is evaluated under NUREG-0737 Item II.K.3.3 for the '

Westinghouse design. No licensing action is required.

3.11 BKW Thermal-Mechanical Re ort II.K.2.13 St. Lucie Plant Units 1 and 2 are a Combustion Engineering design and, therefore', the requirements of this item are not applicable. It has been noted that there is an active TMI action item Thermal-Mechanical Report for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 under TAC Number 46905. No licensing action is required by Generic Letter 82-16 for this item.

11

3. 12 Reoortino Safet and Relief Valve Failures and Challenaes II.K.3.3 The licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that a commitment I.o report safety and relief valve challenges on an annual basis was given in their letter L-80-184, dated July 13, '1980. The licensee also committed to make both TS compatible to the requirements of Gene.ic Letter 82-16 following finalization of the St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 TS.

Review of the St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS indicates that Sec.ion 6.9. 1.6 has not been amended yet to include the reporting on a monthly basis for all'challenges to the valves. St. Lucie Plant Unit 2 TS Section 6.9. 1.6 is

'n compliance with the requirements o Generic Letter 82-16. No further licensing action is required for S . Lucie Plant Unit 2.

3. 13 Anticioator Trio on Turbine Trip II.K.3. 12 The licensee has stated in his response for St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 that although not a Westinghouse design, the TS adequately cover the anticipatory trip on turbine trip.

Review of the TS Tables 2.2-1, 3.3-1 and 3.3-2 indicate that the requirements set forth in Generic Letter 82-16 have been met. No further licensing action is required.

12

4. CONCLUSIONS Based on our review, we find the licensee conforms to those issues addressed in Generic Letter 82-16 on TS, except for those identified as follows:

1., Section 3. 1 STA Training Until further guidance is provided by the Commission, no further licensing action can be taken to determine whether the exact training program for the STA is required to be in the TS.

2. Section 3.2 Shif- Manning-Overtime Limits St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS do not contain shift-manning overtime limits, however, FPL's overtime limits policy was accepted by the NRC.
3. Section 3.7 Containment Purge Valve St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS da not comply with the, requirements of Generic Letter 82-16.
4. Section 3. 11 Thermal-Mechanical Report The Thermal-Mechanical

, Report for St. Lucie Plant Unit No. 1 is being handled as an active TMI action item under TAC number 46905: There is no identified 'TMI action item for the St. Lucie Plant Unit No. 2 Thermal-Mechanical Report. Generic Letter 82-16 does not require any licensing action for this item.

5. Section3,.12 Reporting Safety and Relief Valve Failures and Challenges The present St. Lucie Plant Unit 1 TS do not comply with the requirements of Generic Letter 82-16. However, FPL is presently updating the St. Lucie Unit 1 TS to conform with the St. Lucie Unit 2 TS. When this i5 completed and approved by the NRC, the St. Lucie Unit 1 TS should be in compliance with ihe requirements of Generic Letter 82-16.
