Description and Assessment I.O DESCRIPTION The proposed amendment modifies the North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS) requirements related to control room envelope habitability. | |||
The changes are consistent with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved lndustrylTechnical Specification Task Force (TSTF) STS change TSTF-448, Revision 3. | |||
The availability of this TS improvement was published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2007 as part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP). | |||
2.0 ASSESSMENT 2.1 Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) has reviewed the safety evaluation dated January 17, 2007 as part of the CLIIP. This review included a review of the NRC staffs evaluation, as well as the supporting information provided to support TSTF-448. | |||
Dominion has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to North Anna Units 1 and 2 and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to the North Anna Units 1 and 2 TS. | |||
2.2 Optional Changes and Variations The following sections of the Model SE are applicable to North Anna design and current TS requirements. | |||
Section 3.0 - TS 3.7.[10] [CREEVS] Evaluations 1, 4, and 6 are applicable to North Anna In addition, the North Anna plant design currently includes a pressurized Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) design, which uses the Bottled Air System and the Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) to pressurize the MCRIESGR envelope. The North Anna TSs address the operability requirements for the EVS and MCRIESGR envelope boundary in three different specifications. Therefore, to incorporate TSTF-448, Revision 3, the specifications listed below will be modified. | |||
3.7.10, Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) | |||
Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) 0 3.7.13, Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) Bottled Air System 3.7.14 Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) | |||
Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) - During Movement of Recently Irradiated Fuel Assemblies | |||
The following exception to the Section C.l and C.2 of Regulatory guide 1.I97 is being taken: | |||
C.2.1 Licensing Bases -Vulnerability assessments for radiological, hazardous chemical and smoke, and emergency ventilation system testing were completed as documented in the UFSAR. The exceptions to the Regulatory Guides (RG) referenced in RG 1.196 (i.e., RG 1.52, RG 1.78, and RG 1.183), which were considered in completing the vulnerability assessments, are documented in the UFSARIcurrent licensing basis. Compliance with these RGs is consistent with the current licensing basis as described in the UFSAR. | |||
This general exception does not affect the periodic testing and evaluation of the MCRIESGR envelope boundary. Periodic testing and evaluation of the MCRIESGR envelope boundary will be performed consistent with the regulatory positions described in Sections C.l and C.2 of RG 1.197. This exception identifies how the North Anna control room habitability licensing basis was developed, which is consistent with the intent of RG 1.196 and the regulatory guides referenced therein, but is not in verbatim compliance with the regulatory positions established in each RG. North Anna's commitment to the following regulatory guides is described in the following UFSAR Sections: | |||
RG 1.52, Rev. 2, I978 - UFSAR 6.2.3 RG 1.78, Rev.0, 1974-UFSAR6.4.1.3.3 0 RG 1.95, Rev. 1, 1977 - UFSAR 6.4. I .3.3 RG 1.183, July 2000 - UFSAR 15.4 2.3 License Condition Regarding Initial Performance of New Surveillance and Assessment Requirements Dominion proposes the following as a license condition to support implementation of the proposed TS changes: | |||

MCRJESGR EVS-Modes 1,2,3, and 4 B 3.7.10 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.1 0 Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) Emergency Ventilation System (EVS)-Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 BASES BACKGROUND The MCRIESGR Emergency Habitability System (EHS) provides a protected environment from which qwaW+occuDants can control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity, hazardous chemical, or smoke. The MCRIESGR EHS consists of the MCRIESGR bottled air system (LC0 3.7.1 3) and the MCRIESGR EVS (LC0 3.7.1 0 and LCO 3.7.1 4). | |||
The MCRIESGR EVS consists of -four 100% capacity redundant trains /2 per unit) that can filter and recirculate air inside the MCWESGR envelope or supply filtered air to the MCRIESGR envelope, and a MCRIESGR boundarv that limits the inleakaae of unfiltered a. Each train consists of a heater, demister filter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity . | |||
(principally iodines), and a fan. Ductwork, valves, dampers, doors, barriers I and instrumentation also form part of the system. One EVS train is capable of performing the safety function of supplying filtered outside-air kx peswk&w. The two , n r l n l ? n n r l r \ n ) M C R I E S G R EVS trains on the accident unit can actuate automatically in recirculation. Either of these trains be aligned to provide filtered outside air kx | |||
. . can alsoappropriate. | |||
-when *Either train from the other unit can be manually actuated to provide filtered outside air approximately 60 minutes after the event. &:: EVS S H o w e v e r , dDue to the location of the air intake for 1-HV-F-41, it can not be used to satisfy the I | |||
requirements of LC0 3.7.1 0. Two of the three remaining trains (1-HV-F-42, 2-HV-F-41, and 2-HV-F-42) are required for independence and redundancy. | |||
The MCRIESGR envelo~eis the area within the confines of the MCRIESGR envelo~eboundarv that contains the swaces that control room occu~ants inhabit to control the unit durina normal and accident conditions. This area encomDasses the control room, and mav encomDass other non-critical areas to which freauent ~ersonnelaccess or continuous occupancv is not necessarv in the event of an accident. The MCRIESGR envelope is protected durina normal operation, natural events, and accident conditions. | |||
The MCRIESGR envelo~eboundarv is the combination of walls, floor, roof, ductina. doors, ~enetrationsand eaubment that ~hvsicallvform the MCRIESGR envelo~e.The OPERABILITY of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained to ensure that the inleakaae of unfiltered air into the MCRIESGR envelo~ewill not exceed the inleakaae assumed in the licensina basis analvsis of desian basis accident (DBA) conseauences to MCRIESGR envelo~eoccuwants. The MCRIESGR envelo~eand its boundarv are defined in the MCRIESGR envelope Habitabilitv Proaram. | |||

MCRIESGR EVS-Modes 1 ,2,3, and 4 B 3.7.10 BASES BACKGROUND Upon receipt of the actuating signal(s), normal air supply to and exhaust (continued) from the MCRJESGR envelope is isolated, two trains of MCRJESGR EVS actuate to recirculate air, and airflow from the bottled air banks maintains a positive pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope. | |||
-Approximately 60 minutes after actuation of the MCRIESGR bottled air system, a single MCRIESGR EVS train is manually actuated to provide filtered outside air to the MCRJESGR envelope through HEPA filters and charcoal a d s o r b e r s v . The demisters I remove any entrained water droplets present, to prevent excessive moisture loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 10 hours per month, with the heaters on, reduces moisture buildup on the HEPA filters and adsorbers. Both the demister and heater are important to the effectiveness of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. | |||
Pressurization of the MCRIESGR envelope minimizes infiltration of unfiltered air throuah the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv from u t h e surroundina areas adjacent to the K R I E S G R envelope boundarv. | |||
A single train of the MCRJESGR EVS, o~eratinaat a flow rate of < 1100 cfm,-will pressurize the MCRJESGR envelope to 2 0.04 inches water gauge relative to external areas adjacent to the MCRJESGR envelo~e boundary. The MCRJESGR EHS operation in maintaining the MCRJESGR envelope habitable is discussed in the UFSAR, Section 6.4 (Ref. 1). | |||
Redundant MCRJESGR EVS supply and recirculation trains provide the required -filtration should an excessive drop 1 develop across the other filter train. Normally closed isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that the failure of one damper to open will not result in an inability of the system to perform the function based on the presence of the redundant train. The MCRJESGR EHS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements. The actuation signal will only start the MCRIESGR EVS trains for the affected unit. Requiring two of the three MCRJESGR EVS trains provides redundancy, assuring that at least one train is available to be realigned to provide filtered outside air. | |||
The MCRJESGR EHS is designed to maintain a habitable environment in the S | |||

MCR/ESGR EVS-Modes 1,2,3, and 4 B 3.7.1 0 BASES BACKGROUND operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC-19 (Ref. 3) for (continued) alternative source terms. | |||
APPLICABLE The MCRIESGR EVS components are arranged in redundant, safety SAFETY ANALYSIS related ventilation trains. The location of most components and ducting within the MCRIESGR envelope ensures an adequate supply of filtered air to all areas requiring access. The MCRIESGR EHS provides airborne radiological protection for the -MCRIESGR enveloee occueants, as demonstrated by the ee&whemMCR/ESGR enveloee accident dose analyses for the most limiting design basis accident fission product release presented in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 2). This accident analysis assumes that at least one train is aligned *to erovide . .filtered outside air e c m h t w to ~ the MCRIESGR enveloee pwwwakm approximately 60 minutes after actuation of bottled air, but does not take any credit for automatic start of the trains in the recirculation mode or any filtration of recirculated air. Since, the MCRIESGR EVS train associated with 1-HV-F-41 can not be used to provide filtered outside air #e+Nta& | |||
-(due | |||
. . to the location of its air intake with respect to Vent Stack 6)it can not be used to satisfy the requirements of LC0 3.7.1 0. | |||
The North Anna UFSAR describes eotentiallv hazardous chemicals stored onsite in auantities areater than 100 Ib. These include hvdroaen, sulfuric acid. sodium hvdroxide, hvdrazine, ethanolamine, and sodium hveochlorite. | |||
Evaluations for accidental release of these chemicals indicate that the worst-case concentrations at the control room intake would be expected to be less than their reseective toxicitv limit. (Refs 1 and 4) The assessment assumed no action beina taken bv the control room oDerator (i.e.. normal or emeraencv sueelv svstem remains o~eratina). | |||
In the event of firelsmoke external to the MCRIESGR enveloee, eaui~ment and erocedures are available to maintain habitabilitv of the control room. | |||
Smoke detectors are installed in the return ducts to the MCR Air-Handlinq Units (AHU), in the near vicinitv of the ESGR AHUs, and in the MCRIESGR EVS sueelv ducts, as well as other numerous locations in the ESGRs and MCR. Smoke detectors are also installed in the MCRIESGR chiller rooms, which are ventilated with air from the Turbine Buildina, and the Mechanical Eaui~mentrooms. If smoke is detected, the MCRIESGR normal and EVS sueelv can be manuallv isolated. The fire reseonse erocedures provide direction for removina smoke from the MCR or ESGRs. (Ref. 5) | |||
The worst case single active failure of a component of the MCRIESGR EVS, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not impair the ability of the system to perform its design function. | |||

Total system failure, such as from a loss of both EVS trains or from an inoperable MCRIESGR envelope boundarv, could result in exceeding the control room operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC-19 (Ref. 3) for alternative source terms, in the event of a large radioactive release. | |||
The MCRJESGR EVS-MODES 1,2,3, and 4 is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to limit q w a W MCRIESGR envelope occupant exposure are OPERABLE in the two required trains of the MCRIESGR EVS-MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. 1-HV-F-41 can not be used to satisfy the requirements of LC0 3.7.1 0. | |||

a.Fan is OPERABLE; b.Demister filters, HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers are not excessively restricting flow, and are capable of performing their filtration functions; and | |||
: c. Heater, ductwork, valves, and dampers are OPERABLE, and air flow can be maintained. | |||
The MCRJESGR EVS is shared by Unit 1 and Unit 2. | |||
In order for the MCRIESGR EVS trains to be considered OPERABLE, the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained such that the MCRIESGR envelope occupant dose from a larae radioactive release does not exceed the calculated dose in the licensina basis conseauence analvses for DBAs, and that MCRIESGR envelooe occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke. | |||

ACTIONS - | |||
A. 1 When one required MCRIESGR EVS train is inoperable for reasons other than an inoperable MCRIE3GR envelope boundarv, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining required OPERABLE MCRIESGR EVS train is adequate to perform the MCRIESGR envelope occ:ueant protection function. However, the overall reliability is reduced becal~sea stqkfailure in the required OPERABLE EVS trains could result in loss of MCRIESGR EVS function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and ability of the remaining trains to provide the required capability. | |||
B. 1 If the unfiltered inleakaae of potentiallv contaminated air past the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv and into the MCRIESGR envelope can result in MCRIESGR envelo~eoccupant radioloaical dose areater than the calculated dose of the licensina basis analvses of DBA conseauences jallowed to be up to 5 rem Total Effective Dose Eaulivalent), or inadeauate protection of MCRIESGR envelope occupants from hazardous chemicals or smoke, the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv is inoperable. Actions must be taken to restore an OPERABLE MCRIESGR enveloee boundarv within 90 davs. Durina the period that the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv is considered inoperable, action must be initiated to implement mitiaatinq actions to lessen the effect on MCRIESGR envelope occueants from the potential hazards of a radioloaical or chemical event or a challenae from smoke. Actions must be taken within 24 hours to verifv that in the event of a DBA, the mitiaatina actions will ensure that MCRIESGR envelope occupant radioloaical exposures will not exceed the calculated dose of the licensina basis analvses of DBA conseauences, and that MCRIESGR envelope occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke. | |||

MCRIESGR Bottled Air System B 3.7.13 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.13 Main Control Room1Emergenc:y Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) Bottled Ai r System BASES BACKGROUND The MCRIESGR Emergency Habitability System (EHS) provides a protected environment from which occupants q w a t w s c a n control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity, hazardous chemical, or smoke. The MCRIESGR EHS consists of the MCRIESGR bottled air system (LC0 3.7.13) and the MCRIESGR Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) (LC0 3.7.1 0 and LC0 3.7.1 4). | |||
The MCRIESGR bottled air system consists of four trains of bottled air lined up to provide air to the MCR/ESGR envelope and a MCRIESGR envelope boundarv that limits the inleakaae of unfiltered air. wbm4h.e | |||
.- The air is provided via four trains which feed a common header, supply in^ air to the Unit 1 and Unit 2 ESGRs. The header is also capable of being aligned to supply air directly to the MCR. Each train is provided air by one of the bottled air banks. Unit 1 and Unit 2 each provide two trains of bottled air. Two bottled air trains are capable of providing dry air of breathing quality to maintain a positive interior pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope for Unit 1 and Unit 2 for a period of one hour following a Design Basis Accident (DBA). | |||
The MCRIESGR envelope is the area within the confines of the MCR/ESGR envelope boundarv that contains the spaces that control room occupants inhabit to control the unit durina normal and accident conditions. This area encompasses the control room, and mav encompass other non-critical areas to which freauent personnel access or continuous occupancv is not necessarv in the event of an accident. | |||
The MCRIESGR envelope is wotected durina normal operation, natural events. and accident conditions. The MCRIESGR envelo~e boundarv is the combination of walls, floor, roof, ductina. doors, penetrations and eaui~mentthat ~hvsicallvform the MCRIESGR envelope. The OPERABILITY of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained to ensure that the inleakaae of unfiltered air into the MCRIESGR envelope will not exceed the inleakaae assumed in the licensina basis analvsis of DBA conseauences to MCRIESGR envelope occupants. The MCRIESGR envelope and its boundarv are defined in the MCRIESGR Envelope Habitabilitv Proaram. | |||
In MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4, upon receipt of the actuating signal(s), normal air supply to and exhaust from the MCRIESGR envelope is isolated, two trains of MCRIESGR EVS actuate to recirculate air, and airflow from the bottled air banks maintains a positive pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope. In case of a fuel handling accident (FHA) in the fuel building, automatic actuation of bottled air is possible. A FHA in containment can not cause an automatic actuation of bottled air., but | |||

MCRIESGR EVS train is manually actuated to provide filtered outside air to the MCRIESGR envelope through high efficiency . . particulate air (HEPA) filters and charcoal adsorbers-. | |||
Pressurization of the MCRJESGR envelope ptwer+%minimizes I | |||
infiltration of unfiltered air from the areas adjacent to the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv. | |||
Two trains of the MCRIESGR bottled air system will pressurize the MCRIESGR envelope to > 0.05 inches water gauge. The MCRIESGR EHS operation in maintaining the MCRIESGR envelope habitable is discussed in the UFSAR, Section 6.4 (Ref. 1). | |||
The MCRIESGR EHS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements. | |||
I The MCR/ESGR EHS is designed to maintain a habitable environment in the MCRIESGR envelope for 30 days of continuous occupancy after a DBA without exceeding the control room operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC-19, (Ref. 2) alternative source terms. | |||
I I | |||
APPLICABLE The MCRIESGR bottled air system is arranged in redundant, SAFETY ANALYSES safety related trains providing pressurized air from the required bottled air banks to maintain a habitable environment in the MCRIESGR envelope. | |||
The MCRIESGR EHS provides airborne radiological protection for the MCRIESGR envelo~eoccu~ants-, as I demonstrated by the control room accident dose analyses for the most limiting design basis accident fission product release presented in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 4). I The North Anna UFSAR describes potentiah hazardous chemicals stored onsite in auantities areater than 100 Ib. These include hvdroaen, sulfuric acid, sodium hvdroxide. hvdrazine, ethanolamine, and sodium hv~ochlorite. Evaluations for accidental release of these chemicals indicate that the worst-case concentrations at the control room intake would be ex~ectedto be less than their res~ectivetoxicity limit.

Smoke detectors are also installed SAFETY ANALYSES in the MCRJESGR chiller rooms. which are ventilated with air from the (continued) Turbine Buildina, and the Mechanical Eaui~mentrooms. If smoke is detected, the MCRJESGR normal and EVS s u ~ p l vcan be manually isolated. The fire response erocedures provide direction for removinq smoke from the MCR or ESGRs.(Ref. 6) | |||
The worst case single active failure of a component of the MCRIESGR bottled air system, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not impair the ability of the system to perform its design function. | |||
The MCRIESGR bottled air system satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(~)(2)(ii). | |||
Three independent and redundant MCRJESGR bottled air system trains are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least two are available assuming a single failure disables one train. Total system failure, such as from a loss of two reauired bottled air svstem trains or from an inoperable MCRIESGR enveloee boundarv, could result in exceeding the control room operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC-19 (Ref. 2) for alternative source terms, in the event of a large radioactive release. | |||

: c. The common exhaust header is OPERABLE. | |||
The MCRIESGR bottled air system trains are shared by Unit 1 and Unit 2. | |||
In order for the MCRJESGR EVS trains to be considered OPERABLE, the MCRJESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained such that the MCRJESGR envelope occupant dose from a larae radioactive release does not exceed the calculated dose in the licensina basis conseauence analvses for DBAs, and that MCRJESGR enveloee occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke. | |||

-wing and following a DBA. I During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies, the MCRIESGR bottled air system must be OPERABLE to respond to the release from a fuel handling accident involving handling recently irradiated fuel. The MCRIESGR bottled air system is only required to be OPERABLE during fuel handling involving handling recently irradiated fuel (i.e., fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within the previous 300 hours), due to radioactive decay. | |||
ACTIONS -A. I I | |||
When one required MCRIESGR bottled air system train is inoperable, for reasons other than an ino~erableMCRIESGR envelope boundarv, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining required OPERABLE MCRIESGR bottled air system trains are adequate to perform the MCRIESGR envelope occupant protection function. However, the I overall reliabilitv is reduced because a sinale failure in one of the remaining required OPERABLE trains codd result in loss of MCRIESGR bottled air system function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and ability of the remaining trains to provide the required capability. | |||
If the unfiltered inleakaae of ~otentiallvcontaminated air past the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv and into the MCRIESGR envelope can result in MCRIESGR envelope occupant radioloaical dose areater than the calculated dose of the licensina basis analvses of DBA conseauences (allowed to be up to 5 rem Total Effective Dose Eaulivalent), or inadeauate protection of MCRIESGR envelope occupants from hazardous North Anna Units 1 and 2 B 3.7.1 3-4 Revision 20 | |||

Durina the period that the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv is considered inoperable, action must be initiated to implement mitiaatina actions to lessen the effect on MCRlESGR envelope occupants from the potential hazards of a radioloaical Or chemical event or a challenae from smoke. Actions must be taken within 24 hours to verifv that in the event of a DBA, the mitiaatina actions will ensure that MCRIESGR envelo~eoccuDant radioloaical exposures will not exceed the calculated dose of the licensina basis analvses of DBA conseauences, and that MCRIESGR envelope occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke.

The 24 hour Completion Time is reasonable based on the low probabilitv of a DBA occurrina durinq this time period, and the use of mitiaatina actions. The 90 day Completion Time is reasonable based on the determination that the mitiaatina actions will ensure ~rotectionof MCRIESGR envelope occupants within analvzed limits while limitina the ~robabilitvthat MCRJESGR envelo~eoccupants will have to implement protective measures that mav adverselv affect their abilitv to control the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition in the event of a DBA.

I When two or more required trains of the MCRIESGR bottled air system are inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 for reasons other than an inoperable MCRIESGR boundary (i.e., Condition B), action must be taken to restore at least two of the required MCRJESGR bottled air North Anna Units 1 and 2 B 3.7.1 3-5 Revision 2 9 | |||
MCRIESGR Bottled Air System B 3.7.13 BASES ACTIONS system trains to OPERABLE status within 24 hours. During the period (continued) that two or more required trains of the MCRIESGR bottled air svstem are inoperable, appropriate compensatory measures (consistent with the intent of GDC 19) should be utilized to protect control room operators from potential hazards such as radioactive contamination. Preplanned measures should be available to-address these concerns for intentional and unintentional entry into the condition. The 24 hour Completion Time is reasonable based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and the use of compensatory measures. The 24 hour Completion Time is a typically reasonable time to diagnose, plan, restore, and possibly repair, and test most problems with the MCRIESGR bottled air system, such as repressurizing the system after an inadvertent actuation. | |||
D.1 and D.2 In MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, if the inoperable required MCRIESGR bottled air system trains or the inoperable MCRIESGR boundary cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the unit must be placed in a MODE that minimizes accident risk. To achieve this status, the unit must be placed in at least MODE 3 within 6 hours, and in MODE 5 within 36 hours. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems. | |||
During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies, if the required inoperable MCRIESGR bottled air system train cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, *two or more required MCRIESGR bottled air system trains are inoperable, or one or more bottled air svstem trains ino~erabledue to an inooerable MCRIESGR envelo~eboundarv, action must be taken to immediately suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might require isolation of the MCRIESGR envelope. This places the unit in a condition that minimizes risk. This does not preclude the movement of fuel to a safe position. | |||
SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.1 3.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies that each required MCRIESGR bottled air bank is at the proper pressure. This ensures that when combined with the required number of OPERABLE air bottles, the minimum required air flow will be maintained to ensure the required MCRIESGR envelope pressurization for approximately 60 minutes when the MCRIESGR bottled air system is actuated. The 31 day Frequency is based on engineering judgement. | |||
This SR verifies that the proper number of MCRIESGR air bottles are in service, with one bank of 69 air bottles in each required train. This North Anna Units 1 and 2 B 3.7.1 3-6 Revision 20 | |||
MCRIESGR Bottled Air System B 3.7.13 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.13.2 (continued) | |||
REQUIREMENTS SR requires verification that each bottled air bank manual valve not (continued) locked, sealed, or otherwise secured and required to be open during accident conditions is open. This SR helps to ensure that the bottled air banks required to be OPERABLE to pressurize the MCRIESGR boundary are in service. The 31 day Frequency is based on engineering judgment and was chosen to provide added assurance of the correct positions. This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the open position, since these were verified to be in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing. | |||
This SR verifies that each required MCRIESGR bottled air system train actuates by verifying the flow path is opened and that the normal air supply to and exhaust from the MCRIESGR envelope is isolated on an actual or simulated actuation signal. The Frequency of 18 months is consistent with performing this test on a refueling interval basis. | |||
This SR verifies, by pressurizing the MCRIESGR envelope, the integrity of the MCRIESGR envelope, and the assumed inleakage rates of the potentially contaminated air. The MCRIESGR envelope positive pressure, with respect to potentially contaminated adjacent areas, is periodically tested to verify proper functioning of the MCRIESGR bottled air system. During the emergency mode of operation, the MCRIESGR bottled air system is designed to pressurize the MCRIESGR envelope to | |||
> 0.05 inches water gauge positive pressure with respect to adjacent areas in order to prevent unfiltered inleakage. The MCRIESGR bottled air system is designed to maintain this positive pressure with two trains for at least 60 minutes. Testing two trains at a time at the Frequency of 18 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS is consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-0800 (Ref. 3). | |||

(HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodines), and a fan. Ductwork, valves and dampers, doors, barriers and instrumentation also form part of the I system. One EVS train is capable of performing the safety function of supplying filtered outside.-rai There is no restriction on the use of 1-HV-F-41 in the recirculation mode. However, dBue to the location of the air intake for 1-HV-F-41, it can not be used to satisfy the requirements of LC0 3.7.14 to supplv filtered outside air. Two of the I three remaining trains (1-HV-F-42, 2-HV-F-41, and 2-HV-F-42) are required for independence and redundancy. I The MCRIESGR envelope is the area within the confines of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv that contains the spaces that control room occupants inhabit to control the unit during normal and accident conditions . This area encompasses the control room, and mav encomDass other non-critical areas to which frequent personnel access or continuous occupancv is not necessarv in the event of an accident. The MCRIESGR envelope is protected durinq normal operation, natural events, and accident conditions. The MCRIESGR envelope boundarv is the combination of walls, floor, roof, ducting, doors, penetrations and equipment that phvsically form the MCWESGR envelope. The OPERABILITY of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained to ensure that the inleakage of unfiltered air into the MCWESGR envelope will not exceed the inleakage assumed in the licensing basis analvsis of design basis accident (DBA) consequences to MCRIESGR envelope occupants. The MCRIESGR envelope and its boundarv are defined in the MCRIESGR Envelope Habitabilitv Program. | |||

MCRIESGR EVS-During Movement of Recently Irradiated Fuel Assemblies B.3.7.14 BASES BACKGROUND In case of a Design Basis Accident (DBA), during movement of (continued) recently irradiated fuel assemblies, an automatic (signal from the fuel building radiation monitors) or manual actuation of airflow from the bottled air banks is required. Actuation of airflow from the bottled air banks also automatically isolates the MCRIESGR envelope to maintain positive pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope and I automatically starts all available EVS trains in recirculation mode. | |||
I v i e d air system, a single MCRIESGR EVS train is manually actuated or aligned to provide filtered outside air to the MCRIESGR envelope through HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers for pressurization. ke r I lI\I C A 1 | |||
-The demisters remove any entrained water droplets present in the air, to prevent excessive moisture loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 10 hours per month, with the heaters on, reduces moisture buildup on the HEPA filters and adsorbers. Both the demister and heater are important to the effectiveness of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. | |||

Discussion of Change North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2 Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion)
Description and Assessment I.O DESCRIPTION The proposed amendment modifies the North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS) requirements related to control room envelope habitability.
The changes are consistent with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved lndustrylTechnical Specification Task Force (TSTF) STS change TSTF-448, Revision 3.
The availability of this TS improvement was published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2007 as part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).
2.0 ASSESSMENT 2.1 Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) has reviewed the safety evaluation dated January 17, 2007 as part of the CLIIP. This review included a review of the NRC staffs evaluation, as well as the supporting information provided to support TSTF-448.
Dominion has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to North Anna Units 1 and 2 and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to the North Anna Units 1 and 2 TS.
2.2 Optional Changes and Variations The following sections of the Model SE are applicable to North Anna design and current TS requirements.
Section 3.0 - TS 3.7.[10] [CREEVS] Evaluations 1, 4, and 6 are applicable to North Anna In addition, the North Anna plant design currently includes a pressurized Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) design, which uses the Bottled Air System and the Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) to pressurize the MCRIESGR envelope. The North Anna TSs address the operability requirements for the EVS and MCRIESGR envelope boundary in three different specifications. Therefore, to incorporate TSTF-448, Revision 3, the specifications listed below will be modified.
3.7.10, Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR)
Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) 0 3.7.13, Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) Bottled Air System 3.7.14 Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR)
Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) - During Movement of Recently Irradiated Fuel Assemblies
The following exception to the Section C.l and C.2 of Regulatory guide 1.I97 is being taken:
C.2.1 Licensing Bases -Vulnerability assessments for radiological, hazardous chemical and smoke, and emergency ventilation system testing were completed as documented in the UFSAR. The exceptions to the Regulatory Guides (RG) referenced in RG 1.196 (i.e., RG 1.52, RG 1.78, and RG 1.183), which were considered in completing the vulnerability assessments, are documented in the UFSARIcurrent licensing basis. Compliance with these RGs is consistent with the current licensing basis as described in the UFSAR.
This general exception does not affect the periodic testing and evaluation of the MCRIESGR envelope boundary. Periodic testing and evaluation of the MCRIESGR envelope boundary will be performed consistent with the regulatory positions described in Sections C.l and C.2 of RG 1.197. This exception identifies how the North Anna control room habitability licensing basis was developed, which is consistent with the intent of RG 1.196 and the regulatory guides referenced therein, but is not in verbatim compliance with the regulatory positions established in each RG. North Anna's commitment to the following regulatory guides is described in the following UFSAR Sections:
RG 1.52, Rev. 2, I978 - UFSAR 6.2.3 RG 1.78, Rev.0, 1974-UFSAR6.4.1.3.3 0 RG 1.95, Rev. 1, 1977 - UFSAR 6.4. I .3.3 RG 1.183, July 2000 - UFSAR 15.4 2.3 License Condition Regarding Initial Performance of New Surveillance and Assessment Requirements Dominion proposes the following as a license condition to support implementation of the proposed TS changes:

MCRJESGR EVS-Modes 1,2,3, and 4 B 3.7.10 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.1 0 Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) Emergency Ventilation System (EVS)-Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4 BASES BACKGROUND The MCRIESGR Emergency Habitability System (EHS) provides a protected environment from which qwaW+occuDants can control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity, hazardous chemical, or smoke. The MCRIESGR EHS consists of the MCRIESGR bottled air system (LC0 3.7.1 3) and the MCRIESGR EVS (LC0 3.7.1 0 and LCO 3.7.1 4).
The MCRIESGR EVS consists of -four 100% capacity redundant trains /2 per unit) that can filter and recirculate air inside the MCWESGR envelope or supply filtered air to the MCRIESGR envelope, and a MCRIESGR boundarv that limits the inleakaae of unfiltered a. Each train consists of a heater, demister filter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity .
(principally iodines), and a fan. Ductwork, valves, dampers, doors, barriers I and instrumentation also form part of the system. One EVS train is capable of performing the safety function of supplying filtered outside-air kx peswk&w. The two , n r l n l ? n n r l r \ n ) M C R I E S G R EVS trains on the accident unit can actuate automatically in recirculation. Either of these trains be aligned to provide filtered outside air kx
. . can alsoappropriate.
-when *Either train from the other unit can be manually actuated to provide filtered outside air approximately 60 minutes after the event. &:: EVS S H o w e v e r , dDue to the location of the air intake for 1-HV-F-41, it can not be used to satisfy the I
requirements of LC0 3.7.1 0. Two of the three remaining trains (1-HV-F-42, 2-HV-F-41, and 2-HV-F-42) are required for independence and redundancy.
The MCRIESGR envelo~eis the area within the confines of the MCRIESGR envelo~eboundarv that contains the swaces that control room occu~ants inhabit to control the unit durina normal and accident conditions. This area encomDasses the control room, and mav encomDass other non-critical areas to which freauent ~ersonnelaccess or continuous occupancv is not necessarv in the event of an accident. The MCRIESGR envelope is protected durina normal operation, natural events, and accident conditions.
The MCRIESGR envelo~eboundarv is the combination of walls, floor, roof, ductina. doors, ~enetrationsand eaubment that ~hvsicallvform the MCRIESGR envelo~e.The OPERABILITY of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained to ensure that the inleakaae of unfiltered air into the MCRIESGR envelo~ewill not exceed the inleakaae assumed in the licensina basis analvsis of desian basis accident (DBA) conseauences to MCRIESGR envelo~eoccuwants. The MCRIESGR envelo~eand its boundarv are defined in the MCRIESGR envelope Habitabilitv Proaram.

MCRIESGR EVS-Modes 1 ,2,3, and 4 B 3.7.10 BASES BACKGROUND Upon receipt of the actuating signal(s), normal air supply to and exhaust (continued) from the MCRJESGR envelope is isolated, two trains of MCRJESGR EVS actuate to recirculate air, and airflow from the bottled air banks maintains a positive pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope.
-Approximately 60 minutes after actuation of the MCRIESGR bottled air system, a single MCRIESGR EVS train is manually actuated to provide filtered outside air to the MCRJESGR envelope through HEPA filters and charcoal a d s o r b e r s v . The demisters I remove any entrained water droplets present, to prevent excessive moisture loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> per month, with the heaters on, reduces moisture buildup on the HEPA filters and adsorbers. Both the demister and heater are important to the effectiveness of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.
Pressurization of the MCRIESGR envelope minimizes infiltration of unfiltered air throuah the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv from u t h e surroundina areas adjacent to the K R I E S G R envelope boundarv.
A single train of the MCRJESGR EVS, o~eratinaat a flow rate of < 1100 cfm,-will pressurize the MCRJESGR envelope to 2 0.04 inches water gauge relative to external areas adjacent to the MCRJESGR envelo~e boundary. The MCRJESGR EHS operation in maintaining the MCRJESGR envelope habitable is discussed in the UFSAR, Section 6.4 (Ref. 1).
Redundant MCRJESGR EVS supply and recirculation trains provide the required -filtration should an excessive drop 1 develop across the other filter train. Normally closed isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that the failure of one damper to open will not result in an inability of the system to perform the function based on the presence of the redundant train. The MCRJESGR EHS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements. The actuation signal will only start the MCRIESGR EVS trains for the affected unit. Requiring two of the three MCRJESGR EVS trains provides redundancy, assuring that at least one train is available to be realigned to provide filtered outside air.
The MCRJESGR EHS is designed to maintain a habitable environment in the S

MCRIESGR Bottled Air System B 3.7.13 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.13 Main Control Room1Emergenc:y Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) Bottled Ai r System BASES BACKGROUND The MCRIESGR Emergency Habitability System (EHS) provides a protected environment from which occupants q w a t w s c a n control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity, hazardous chemical, or smoke. The MCRIESGR EHS consists of the MCRIESGR bottled air system (LC0 3.7.13) and the MCRIESGR Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) (LC0 3.7.1 0 and LC0 3.7.1 4).
The MCRIESGR bottled air system consists of four trains of bottled air lined up to provide air to the MCR/ESGR envelope and a MCRIESGR envelope boundarv that limits the inleakaae of unfiltered air. wbm4h.e
.- The air is provided via four trains which feed a common header, supply in^ air to the Unit 1 and Unit 2 ESGRs. The header is also capable of being aligned to supply air directly to the MCR. Each train is provided air by one of the bottled air banks. Unit 1 and Unit 2 each provide two trains of bottled air. Two bottled air trains are capable of providing dry air of breathing quality to maintain a positive interior pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope for Unit 1 and Unit 2 for a period of one hour following a Design Basis Accident (DBA).
The MCRIESGR envelope is the area within the confines of the MCR/ESGR envelope boundarv that contains the spaces that control room occupants inhabit to control the unit durina normal and accident conditions. This area encompasses the control room, and mav encompass other non-critical areas to which freauent personnel access or continuous occupancv is not necessarv in the event of an accident.
The MCRIESGR envelope is wotected durina normal operation, natural events. and accident conditions. The MCRIESGR envelo~e boundarv is the combination of walls, floor, roof, ductina. doors, penetrations and eaui~mentthat ~hvsicallvform the MCRIESGR envelope. The OPERABILITY of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained to ensure that the inleakaae of unfiltered air into the MCRIESGR envelope will not exceed the inleakaae assumed in the licensina basis analvsis of DBA conseauences to MCRIESGR envelope occupants. The MCRIESGR envelope and its boundarv are defined in the MCRIESGR Envelope Habitabilitv Proaram.
In MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4, upon receipt of the actuating signal(s), normal air supply to and exhaust from the MCRIESGR envelope is isolated, two trains of MCRIESGR EVS actuate to recirculate air, and airflow from the bottled air banks maintains a positive pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope. In case of a fuel handling accident (FHA) in the fuel building, automatic actuation of bottled air is possible. A FHA in containment can not cause an automatic actuation of bottled air., but

Pressurization of the MCRJESGR envelope ptwer+%minimizes I
infiltration of unfiltered air from the areas adjacent to the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv.
Two trains of the MCRIESGR bottled air system will pressurize the MCRIESGR envelope to > 0.05 inches water gauge. The MCRIESGR EHS operation in maintaining the MCRIESGR envelope habitable is discussed in the UFSAR, Section 6.4 (Ref. 1).
The MCRIESGR EHS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements.
I The MCR/ESGR EHS is designed to maintain a habitable environment in the MCRIESGR envelope for 30 days of continuous occupancy after a DBA without exceeding the control room operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC-19, (Ref. 2) alternative source terms.

APPLICABLE The MCRIESGR bottled air system is arranged in redundant, SAFETY ANALYSES safety related trains providing pressurized air from the required bottled air banks to maintain a habitable environment in the MCRIESGR envelope.
The MCRIESGR EHS provides airborne radiological protection for the MCRIESGR envelo~eoccu~ants-, as I demonstrated by the control room accident dose analyses for the most limiting design basis accident fission product release presented in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 4). I The North Anna UFSAR describes potentiah hazardous chemicals stored onsite in auantities areater than 100 Ib. These include hvdroaen, sulfuric acid, sodium hvdroxide. hvdrazine, ethanolamine, and sodium hv~ochlorite. Evaluations for accidental release of these chemicals indicate that the worst-case concentrations at the control room intake would be ex~ectedto be less than their res~ectivetoxicity limit.

Smoke detectors are also installed SAFETY ANALYSES in the MCRJESGR chiller rooms. which are ventilated with air from the (continued) Turbine Buildina, and the Mechanical Eaui~mentrooms. If smoke is detected, the MCRJESGR normal and EVS s u ~ p l vcan be manually isolated. The fire response erocedures provide direction for removinq smoke from the MCR or ESGRs.(Ref. 6)
The worst case single active failure of a component of the MCRIESGR bottled air system, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not impair the ability of the system to perform its design function.
The MCRIESGR bottled air system satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(~)(2)(ii).
Three independent and redundant MCRJESGR bottled air system trains are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least two are available assuming a single failure disables one train. Total system failure, such as from a loss of two reauired bottled air svstem trains or from an inoperable MCRIESGR enveloee boundarv, could result in exceeding the control room operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC-19 (Ref. 2) for alternative source terms, in the event of a large radioactive release.

A MCRIESGR bottled air system train is OPERABLE when:
- a. One OPERABLE bottled air bank of 69 bottles is in service;
- b. A flow path, including associated valves and piping, is OPERABLE; and
The MCRIESGR bottled air system trains are shared by Unit 1 and Unit 2.
In order for the MCRJESGR EVS trains to be considered OPERABLE, the MCRJESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained such that the MCRJESGR envelope occupant dose from a larae radioactive release does not exceed the calculated dose in the licensina basis conseauence analvses for DBAs, and that MCRJESGR enveloee occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke.

REQUIREMENTS SR requires verification that each bottled air bank manual valve not (continued) locked, sealed, or otherwise secured and required to be open during accident conditions is open. This SR helps to ensure that the bottled air banks required to be OPERABLE to pressurize the MCRIESGR boundary are in service. The 31 day Frequency is based on engineering judgment and was chosen to provide added assurance of the correct positions. This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the open position, since these were verified to be in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing.
This SR verifies that each required MCRIESGR bottled air system train actuates by verifying the flow path is opened and that the normal air supply to and exhaust from the MCRIESGR envelope is isolated on an actual or simulated actuation signal. The Frequency of 18 months is consistent with performing this test on a refueling interval basis.
This SR verifies, by pressurizing the MCRIESGR envelope, the integrity of the MCRIESGR envelope, and the assumed inleakage rates of the potentially contaminated air. The MCRIESGR envelope positive pressure, with respect to potentially contaminated adjacent areas, is periodically tested to verify proper functioning of the MCRIESGR bottled air system. During the emergency mode of operation, the MCRIESGR bottled air system is designed to pressurize the MCRIESGR envelope to
> 0.05 inches water gauge positive pressure with respect to adjacent areas in order to prevent unfiltered inleakage. The MCRIESGR bottled air system is designed to maintain this positive pressure with two trains for at least 60 minutes. Testing two trains at a time at the Frequency of 18 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS is consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-0800 (Ref. 3).

MCRIESGR EVS-During Movement of Recently Irradiated Fuel Assemblies B.3.7.14 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.14 Main Control RoomIEmergency Switchgear Room (MCRIESGR) Emergency Ventilation System (EVS)-During Movement of Recently lrradiated Fuel Assemblies BACKGROUND The MCRIESGR Emergency Habitability System (EHS) provides a protected environment from which occupants can control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity, hazardous chemicals, or smoke. The MCRIESGR EHS consists of the MCRIESGR bottled air system (LC0 3.7.13) and the MCRIESGR EVS (LC0 3.7.10 and LC0 3.7.14).
I The MCRIESGR EVS -consists of four independent, redundant trains that can filter and recirculate air inside the MCRIESGR I
envelope, or supply filtered air to the MCWESGR envelopeand MCRIESGR boundarv that limits the inleakaqe of unfiltered air. Each train consists of a heater, demister filter, a high efficiency particulate air I
(HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodines), and a fan. Ductwork, valves and dampers, doors, barriers and instrumentation also form part of the I system. One EVS train is capable of performing the safety function of supplying filtered outside.-rai There is no restriction on the use of 1-HV-F-41 in the recirculation mode. However, dBue to the location of the air intake for 1-HV-F-41, it can not be used to satisfy the requirements of LC0 3.7.14 to supplv filtered outside air. Two of the I three remaining trains (1-HV-F-42, 2-HV-F-41, and 2-HV-F-42) are required for independence and redundancy. I The MCRIESGR envelope is the area within the confines of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv that contains the spaces that control room occupants inhabit to control the unit during normal and accident conditions . This area encompasses the control room, and mav encomDass other non-critical areas to which frequent personnel access or continuous occupancv is not necessarv in the event of an accident. The MCRIESGR envelope is protected durinq normal operation, natural events, and accident conditions. The MCRIESGR envelope boundarv is the combination of walls, floor, roof, ducting, doors, penetrations and equipment that phvsically form the MCWESGR envelope. The OPERABILITY of the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv must be maintained to ensure that the inleakage of unfiltered air into the MCWESGR envelope will not exceed the inleakage assumed in the licensing basis analvsis of design basis accident (DBA) consequences to MCRIESGR envelope occupants. The MCRIESGR envelope and its boundarv are defined in the MCRIESGR Envelope Habitabilitv Program.

MCRIESGR EVS-During Movement of Recently Irradiated Fuel Assemblies B.3.7.14 BASES BACKGROUND In case of a Design Basis Accident (DBA), during movement of (continued) recently irradiated fuel assemblies, an automatic (signal from the fuel building radiation monitors) or manual actuation of airflow from the bottled air banks is required. Actuation of airflow from the bottled air banks also automatically isolates the MCRIESGR envelope to maintain positive pressure in the MCRIESGR envelope and I automatically starts all available EVS trains in recirculation mode.
I v i e d air system, a single MCRIESGR EVS train is manually actuated or aligned to provide filtered outside air to the MCRIESGR envelope through HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers for pressurization. ke r I lI\I C A 1
-The demisters remove any entrained water droplets present in the air, to prevent excessive moisture loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> per month, with the heaters on, reduces moisture buildup on the HEPA filters and adsorbers. Both the demister and heater are important to the effectiveness of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.
Pressurization of the MCRIESGR envelope ptee&eminimize infiltration of unfiltered air from the areas adjacent to the envelope.
A single train of the MCRIESGR EVS will pressurize the MCRIESGR envelope to > 0.04 inches water gauge. The MCRIESGR EHS operation in maintaining the MCRIESGR envelope habitable is discussed in the UFSAR, Section 6.4 (Ref. 1).
Redundant MCRIESGR EVS supply trains provide the required filtration should an excessive pressure drop develop across the other filter train. Normally closed isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that the failure of one damper to open will not result in an inability of the system to perform the function based on the presence of the redundant train. The MCRIESGR EHS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements.
The MCRIESGR EHS is designed to maintain& a habitable environment in the MCRIESGR e n v e l o ~ e e c w & w mfor 30 days of continuous occupancy after a DBA without exceeding the control room operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC-19 (Ref.
- 2) for alternative source terms.
APPLICABLE The MCRIESGR EVS components are arranged in redundant, SAFETY ANALYSIS safety related ventilation trains. The location of most components and ducting within the MCRIESGR envelope ensures an adequate supply of filtered air to all areas requiring access.

The North Anna UFSAR describes potentiallv hazardous chemicals stored onsite in quantities greater than 100 Ib. These include hydrogen, sulfuric acid, sodium hvdroxide, hvdrazine, ethanolamine, and sodium hvpochlorite. Evaluations for accidental release of these chemicals indicate that the worst-case concentrations at the control room intake would be expected to be less than their respective toxicitv limit. .(Refs. 1 and 5) The assessment assumed no action being taken bv the control room operator (i.e., normal or emergencv SUDP~Vsvstem remains operatinq.
In the event of firelsmoke external to the MCRIESGR envelo~e, equipment and procedures are available to maintain habitabilitv of the control room. Smoke detectors are installed in the return ducts to the MCR Air-Handling Units (AHU), in the near vicinitv of the ESGR AHUs, and in the MCWESGR EVS supplv ducts, as well as other numerous locations in the ESGRs and MCR. Smoke detectors are also installed in the MCRIESGR chiller rooms, which are ventilated with air from the Turbine Building, and the Mechanical Eauipment rooms. If smoke is detected, the MCWESGR normal and EVS supplv can be manuallv isolated. The fire response procedures provide direction for removinq smoke from the MCR or ESGRs.(Ref. 9)
The worst case single active failure of a component of MCRIESGR EVS, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not (continued) impair the ability of the system to perform its design function.
The MCRIESGR EVS-During Movement of Recently lrradiated Fuel Assemblies satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
LC0 Two independent and redundant MCRIESGR EVS trains are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one is available if aswmga single active failure disables the other train. Total system failure such as from a loss of both required ventilation trains or from an inoperable MCRIESGR envelope boundan/, could result in exceeding the control room operator dose limits of 10 CFR 50, AppendixA, GDC-19 (Ref. 2), for alternative source terms in the event of a large radioactive release.
&he MCRIESGR EVS-During Movement of Recently lrradiated Fuel Assemblies train is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to limit ~WW~~FMCRIESGR occupant exposure are OPERABLE.&

The MCRIESGR EVS is shared by Unit 1 and Unit 2.
In order for the MCRIESGR EVS trains to be considered OPERABLE, the MCRIESGR envelope boundary must be maintained such that the MCRIESGR envelope occupant dose from a larae radioactive release does not exceed the calculated dose in the licensing basis conseauence analyses for DBAs, and that MCRIESGR envelope occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke.
The LC0 is modified by a Note allowing the MCRIESGR envelope boundarv to be o~enedintermittentlv under administrative controls.
This ~ o f onlye applies to openings h the MCRIESGR envelope boundary that can be rapidly restored to the desiqn condition, such as doors, hatches, floor plugs, and access panels. For entry and exit through doors the administrative control of the opening is performed by the person(s) entering or exiting the area. For other openings, these controls should be proceduralized and consist of stationing a dedicated individual at the opening who is in-continuous communication with the amtwMemoperators in the MCRIESGR envelope. This individual will have a method to rapidly close the opening and restore the MCRIESGR envelope boundary to a condition equivalent to the design condition when a need for MCRIESGR isolation is indicated.
APPLICABILITY During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies, MCRIESGR EVS-During Movement of Recently lrradiated Fuel Assemblies must be OPERABLE to r r n n ) m l n s u r e that the MCRIESGR envelope will remain habitable during and following a DBA.
During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies, the MCRIESGR EVS must be OPERABLE to respond to the release from a fuel handling accident involving handling recently irradiated fuel.
The MCRIESGR EVS is only required to be OPERABLE during fuel handling involving handling recently irradiated fuel (i.e., fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within the previous 300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br />),
due to radioactive decay.
Regarding the MCRIESGR EVS, it should be noted that they are required to be OPERABLE by other LCOs in other MODES.

MCRIESGR EVS-During Movement of Recently Irradiated Fuel Assemblies B.3.7.14 BASES ACTIONS -
A. 1 When one required MCRIESGR EVS train is inoperable, for reasons other than an ino~erableMCRIESGR envelo~eboundarv, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, I
the remaining required OPERABLE MCRIESGR EVS train is adequate to perform the MCRIESGR occupant protection function. However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the required OPERABLE MCRIESGR EVS train could result in loss of MCRIESGR EVS function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and ability of the remaining trains to provide the required capability.
B.1 During movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies, if the required inoperable MCRIESGR EVS train cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion TimeL+ two required MCRIESGR EVS trains are inoperable, or one or more MCRIESGR EVS trains are ino~erabledue to an ino~erableMCRIESGR envelo~eboundarv action must be taken to immediately suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might require isolation of the MCRIESGR envelope. This places the unit in a condition that minimizes risk. This does not preclude the movement of fuel to a safe position. I SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.14.1 REQUIREMENTS Standby systems should be checked periodically to ensure that they function properly. As the environment and normal operating conditions on the MCRIESGR EVS are not too severe, testing each required train once every month provides an adequate check of this system. Monthly heater operations dry out any moisture accumulated in the charcoal and HEPA filters from humidity in the ambient air. Each required train must be operated for > 10 continuous hours with the heaters energized.
The 31 day Frequency is based on the reliability of the equipment and the one train redundancy availability.
SR 3.7.1 4.2 This SR verifies that the required MCRIESGR EVS testing is performed in accordance with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP). The VFTP includes testing the performance of the demister filter, HEPA filter, charcoal adsorber efficiency, minimum and maximum flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal. Specific test Frequencies and additional information are discussed in detail in the VFTP.
