Description This change is requested as a result of a modification to the chlorine detection system. As discussed with the NRC, the system originally installed that provided detection during the first cycle has proven to be unreliable. As a result, a station modification was implemented to install a new, more reliable chlorine detection system to replace the Cycle 1 system. The new system is a different design and therefore reflects a different channel calibration requirement based on the manufacturer's recommendation and test experience.           The new system requires calibration as frequently as the functional testing for the old system.
Description This change is requested as a result of a modification to the chlorine detection system.
The proposed change requires a CHANNEL CALIBRATION at least once per 31 days in contrast to the existing requirement for calibration every 18 months.           The redundant requirement for a separate CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST every 31 days has been deleted because, by Technical Specification definition 1.4, the CHANNEL CALIBRATION must include a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response:    No.
 
The proposed change in the channel calibration requirement is based on the manufacturer's recommendation and testing experience. This frequency will achieve at least the accuracy and reliability of the previously installed detection system; therefore, this change will not create any new failure or accident paths, and the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated can not be created.
===Response===
: 3.     Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
No.
Response:    No.
The proposed change in the channel calibration requirement is based on the manufacturer's recommendation and testing experience.
The manufacturer's recommendations assure that a channel calibration frequency of 31 days establishes at least the same level of safety as that existing in the present Technical Specification. This calibration also establishes functionality of the system at least as often as the present Technical Specification does. Therefore, the operation of Waterford 3 in accordance with this proposed change will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY-ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CHANGE NPF-38-55 This is a request to revise Technical Specifications 3.1.2.8, " Borated Water Sources - Operating" and 3.5.4, " Refueling Water Storage Pool".
Existing Specification See Attachment A Proposed Specification See Attachment B i         Description The proposed change would revise Technical Specifications 3.1.2.8b.1, " Borated Water Sources - Operating" and 3.5.4a, " Refueling Water Storage Pool". The reason for the change is to modify the percent indicated level of the Refueling Water Storage Pool (RWSP) that corresponds to the minimum required water volume of 475,000 gallons. The current Technical Specifications refer to 82% as being equal to the required volume; however, calculations have shown that, in order
Existing Specification See Attachment A Proposed Specification See Attachment B Description i
,          to maintain the required 475,500 gallons in the RWSP, the indicated level must be equal to 82.4%. The proposed change, therefore, would conservatively "round-up" the required level to 83% instead of " rounding-off" to 82%. It should be noted that when this potential non-conservatism was discovered, plant records were checked and it was verified that the actual level in the RWSP never fell below 83%.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident?
Response:    No The proposed change to these Technical Specifications is strictly administrative in nature and does not affect the manner in which the plant is operated. The change is being proposed to correct a potential non-conservatism in the percent indicated level that corresponds to the minimum required volume that must be maintained in the RWSP. The reason for maintaining a minimum volume of borated water in the RWSP is to ensure that the available supply of water to the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) is consistent with the assumptions used in the large break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) presented in the FSAR.                         Since the proposed change NS20598 vp   r--     w-               ,,+,,-w                             e -mew-+ - - . --

increases the required level that must be maintained in the RWSP (and hence increases the required volume), there will be no affect on the LOCA analysis as described in Chapters 6 and 15 of the FSAR.
Therefore, the proposed change will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident.
2.
Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
 
===Response===
No The proposed change will ensure the indicated level of the RWSP is consistent with the volume requirement that was determined by the Safety Analysis.
There has been no physical change to plant systems, structures or components.
The only change to plant procedures will be to require an increased RWSP level when performing routine surveillance tests.
Therefore, the proposed change will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Will operation of the facility in accordance witn this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

===Response===
: 2. Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
No The intent of these specifications is to ensure that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA.
Response:  No The proposed change will ensure the indicated level of the RWSP is consistent with the volume requirement that was determined by the Safety Analysis. There has been no physical change to plant systems, structures or components. The only change to plant procedures will be to require an increased RWSP level when performing routine surveillance tests. Therefore, the proposed change will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
The minimum RWSP volume requirement ensures that sufficient water will be available inside the containment to permit recirculation through the safety injection pumps and back into the core.
: 3. Will operation of the facility in accordance witn this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
This minimum volume requirement also includes an allowance for water not usable because of RWSP discharge line location and other physical characteristics.
Response:  No The intent of these specifications is to ensure that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA. The minimum RWSP volume requirement ensures that sufficient water will be available inside the containment to permit recirculation through the safety injection pumps and back into the core. This minimum volume requirement also includes an allowance for water not usable because of RWSP discharge line location and other physical characteristics. Since the proposed change simply updates the RWSP level that corresponds to this minimum volume requirement, it will not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

    " Safety Injection Tanks". The note is applicable in Modes 3 and 4 and currently allows the safety injection tank (SIT) level to be decreased to between 60% and 83.8% level when pressurizer pressure has been decreased to less than 1750 psia and only three SITS are operable. This lower level of 60% corresponds to the minimum required water volume of 1332 cubic feet that must be maintained in each of the three operable SITS; however, calculations have shown that, in order to maintain the required water volume of 1332 cubic feet, the SIT level must be 60.23%. The proposed change, therefore, would conservatively "round-up" the required level to 61% instead of " rounding-off" to 60%. It should be noted that when this potential non-conservatism was discovered, plant records were checked and it was verified that the actual SIT levels never fell below 61%.

: 3. Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Therefore, the proposed change will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
Response:    No The intent of these specifications is to ensure that a sufficient volume of borated water will be immediately forced into the reactor core through each of the four cold legs in the event that the RCS pressure falls below tne pressure of the safety injection tanks. This initial surge of water into the core provides the initial cooling mechanism during the large break LOCA analysis. The minimum SIT volume requirement ensures there is sufficient water on each of the SITS to perform the function assumed on the safety analysis. Since the proposed change simply updates the SIT level that corresponds to the minimum volume requirement, it will not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
3.
The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing certain examples (48 FR 14870) of amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards consideration. Example (ii) relates to a change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications, (e.g., a more stringent surveillance requirement).

Change the two Function A (early warning fire detection and notification only) smoke detectors in the CCW Pump "A" room (Zone RAB19) to Function B (actuation of fire suppression systems and early warning and notification) instruments, and 2.
Implement certain name changes and correct typographical errors for the charcoal air filter units.
Presently, Technical Specification Table 3.3-11 indicates the presence of two smoke detectors in Fire Zone RAB19 which provide early warning fire detection and notification but do not actuate fire suppression systems. As part of the Associated Circuits Analysis modifications implemented during the first refueling outage for Waterford 3, an existing pre-action sprinkler system was extended into RAB19. Local control panel modifications allowed the use of existing early warning notification smoke detectors to also provide suppression system actuation. The proposed change will revise the RAB19 smoke detector designation from Function A to Function B to reflect the additional detector capability.

Example (ii) relates to a change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications, (e.g., a more stringent surveillance requirement).
In this case, the proposed changes to the charcoal air filter units are similar to Example (1) in that numbering errors are being corrected and nomenclature changed to be consistent with Waterford 3 usage. The RAB19 proposed change is similar to Example (ii) in placing an additional restriction (suppression system actuation) on the smoke detectors.

DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CHANGE NPF-38-54 This is a request to revise Technical Specification 4.3.3.7.1, Chlorine Detection System, for Waterford Steam Electric Station Unit 3.

Existing Specification See Attachment A.

Proposed Specification See Attachment B.

Description This change is requested as a result of a modification to the chlorine detection system.

As discussed with the NRC, the system originally installed that provided detection during the first cycle has proven to be unreliable.

As a result, a station modification was implemented to install a new, more reliable chlorine detection system to replace the Cycle 1 system.

The new system is a different design and therefore reflects a different channel calibration requirement based on the manufacturer's recommendation and test experience.

The new system requires calibration as frequently as the functional testing for the old system.

The proposed change requires a CHANNEL CALIBRATION at least once per 31 days in contrast to the existing requirement for calibration every 18 months.

The redundant requirement for a separate CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST every 31 days has been deleted because, by Technical Specification definition 1.4, the CHANNEL CALIBRATION must include a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST.

Safety Analysis The proposed change above shall be deemed to involve a significant hazards consideration if there is a positive finding in any one of the following areas:

1.

Will the operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated?

Response

No.

The calibration frequency requirement is based on the manufacturer's recommendation.

This recommendation is made to achieve at least the same level of reliability and accuracy as that established for the old j'

chlorine detection system.

Therefore, there will be no increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated.

I i

i 2.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response

No.

The proposed change in the channel calibration requirement is based on the manufacturer's recommendation and testing experience.

This frequency will achieve at least the accuracy and reliability of the previously installed detection system; therefore, this change will not create any new failure or accident paths, and the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated can not be created.

3.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response

No.

The manufacturer's recommendations assure that a channel calibration frequency of 31 days establishes at least the same level of safety as that existing in the present Technical Specification.

This calibration also establishes functionality of the system at least as often as the present Technical Specification does.

Therefore, the operation of Waterford 3 in accordance with this proposed change will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Safety and Significant Hazards Determination Based upon the above Safety Analysis, it is concluded that (1) the proposed change does not constitute a significant hazards consideration as defined by 10 CFR 50.92; (2) there is a reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed change, and (3) this action will not result in a condition which significantly alters the impact of the station on the environment as described in the NRC Final Environmental Statement.

DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY-ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CHANGE NPF-38-55 This is a request to revise Technical Specifications 3.1.2.8, " Borated Water Sources - Operating" and 3.5.4, " Refueling Water Storage Pool".

Existing Specification See Attachment A Proposed Specification See Attachment B Description i

The proposed change would revise Technical Specifications 3.1.2.8b.1, " Borated Water Sources - Operating" and 3.5.4a, " Refueling Water Storage Pool".

The reason for the change is to modify the percent indicated level of the Refueling Water Storage Pool (RWSP) that corresponds to the minimum required water volume of 475,000 gallons. The current Technical Specifications refer to 82% as being equal to the required volume; however, calculations have shown that, in order to maintain the required 475,500 gallons in the RWSP, the indicated level must be equal to 82.4%.

The proposed change, therefore, would conservatively "round-up" the required level to 83% instead of " rounding-off" to 82%.

It should be noted that when this potential non-conservatism was discovered, plant records were checked and it was verified that the actual level in the RWSP never fell below 83%.

Safety Analysis The proposed change described above shall be deemed to involve a significant hazards consideration if there is a positive finding in any of the following areas:

1.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident?

Response

No The proposed change to these Technical Specifications is strictly administrative in nature and does not affect the manner in which the plant is operated.

The change is being proposed to correct a potential non-conservatism in the percent indicated level that corresponds to the minimum required volume that must be maintained in the RWSP.

The reason for maintaining a minimum volume of borated water in the RWSP is to ensure that the available supply of water to the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) is consistent with the assumptions used in the large break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) presented in the FSAR.

increases the required level that must be maintained in the RWSP (and hence increases the required volume), there will be no affect on the LOCA analysis as described in Chapters 6 and 15 of the FSAR.

Therefore, the proposed change will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident.

2.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response

No The proposed change will ensure the indicated level of the RWSP is consistent with the volume requirement that was determined by the Safety Analysis.

There has been no physical change to plant systems, structures or components.

The only change to plant procedures will be to require an increased RWSP level when performing routine surveillance tests.

Therefore, the proposed change will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3.

Will operation of the facility in accordance witn this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response

No The intent of these specifications is to ensure that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA.

The minimum RWSP volume requirement ensures that sufficient water will be available inside the containment to permit recirculation through the safety injection pumps and back into the core.

This minimum volume requirement also includes an allowance for water not usable because of RWSP discharge line location and other physical characteristics.

Since the proposed change simply updates the RWSP level that corresponds to this minimum volume requirement, it will not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing l

certain examples (48 FR 14870) of amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards consideration.

Example (ii) relates to a change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications, (e.g., a more stringent surveillance requirement).

In this case the proposed change is similar to Example (ii) in that it requires the RWSP to be maintained at an increased level.

Safety and Significant Hazards Consideration Based on the above Safety Analysis, it is concluded'that:

(1) the proposed change does not constitute a significant hazards consideration as defined in

'10CFR50.92; (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed change; and (3) this action will not result in a condition which significantly alters the impact of the station on the environment as described in the NRC Final Environmental Statement.

DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CHANGE NPF-38-56 This is a request to revise Technical Specification 3.5.1, " Safety Injection Tanks".

Existing Specification See Attachment A Proposed Specification See Attachment B Description The proposed change would revise the note to Technical Specifications 3.5.1,

" Safety Injection Tanks". The note is applicable in Modes 3 and 4 and currently allows the safety injection tank (SIT) level to be decreased to between 60% and 83.8% level when pressurizer pressure has been decreased to less than 1750 psia and only three SITS are operable.

This lower level of 60% corresponds to the minimum required water volume of 1332 cubic feet that must be maintained in each of the three operable SITS; however, calculations have shown that, in order to maintain the required water volume of 1332 cubic feet, the SIT level must be 60.23%. The proposed change, therefore, would conservatively "round-up" the required level to 61% instead of " rounding-off" to 60%.

It should be noted that when this potential non-conservatism was discovered, plant records were checked and it was verified that the actual SIT levels never fell below 61%.

I Safety Analysis The proposed change described above shall be deemed to involve a significant hazards consideration if there is a positive finding in any of the following areas:

1.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident?

Response: No The proposed change to this Technical Specification is strictly administrative in nature and does not affect the manner in which die plant is operated. The change is being proposed to correct a potential non-conservatism in the percent level that corresponds to the minimum required volume that must be maintained in the SITS. The reason for maintaining a minimum volume is to ensure that, in the event of a large break loss of

.NS20599

.n, m

coolant accident (LOCA), the amount of water injected into the RCS from the SITS is consistent with the amount of water assumed in the large break LOCA analysis presented in the FSAR.

Since the proposed change increases the required level that must be maintained in the RWSP (and hence increases the required volume), there will be no effect on the LOCA analyses described in Chapters 6 and 15 of the FSAR.

Therefore, the proposed change will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident.

2.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response

No The proposed change will ensure that the level of the SITS is consistent with the volume requirement that was determined by the Safety Analysis.

There has been no physical change to plant systems, structures or components.

The only change to plant procedures will be to require an increased SIT level when performing routine surveillance tests.

Therefore, the proposed change will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response

No The intent of these specifications is to ensure that a sufficient volume of borated water will be immediately forced into the reactor core through each of the four cold legs in the event that the RCS pressure falls below tne pressure of the safety injection tanks.

This initial surge of water into the core provides the initial cooling mechanism during the large break LOCA analysis. The minimum SIT volume requirement ensures there is sufficient water on each of the SITS to perform the function assumed on the safety analysis.

Since the proposed change simply updates the SIT level that corresponds to the minimum volume requirement, it will not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing certain examples (48 FR 14870) of amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards consideration.

Example (ii) relates to a change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications, (e.g., a more stringent surveillance requirement).

In this case, the proposed change is similar to Example (ii) in that it requires the SITS to be maintained at an increased level.

NS20599 Safety and Significant Hazards Consideration Based on the above Safety Analysis, it is concluded that:

MPF-38-57

DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED CHANGE NPF-38-57 This is a request to revise Technical Specification Table 3.3-11, " Fire j

Detection Instruments".

t Existing Specification See Attachment A.

Proposed Specification See Attachment B.

Description The proposed change would revise Technical Specification Table 3.3-11, 4

" Fire Detection Instruments" to:

1.

Change the two Function A (early warning fire detection and notification only) smoke detectors in the CCW Pump "A" room (Zone RAB19) to Function B (actuation of fire suppression systems and early warning and notification) instruments, and 2.

Implement certain name changes and correct typographical errors for the charcoal air filter units.

Presently, Technical Specification Table 3.3-11 indicates the presence of two smoke detectors in Fire Zone RAB19 which provide early warning fire detection and notification but do not actuate fire suppression systems. As part of the Associated Circuits Analysis modifications implemented during the first refueling outage for Waterford 3, an existing pre-action sprinkler system was extended into RAB19. Local control panel modifications allowed the use of existing early warning notification smoke detectors to also provide suppression system actuation. The proposed change will revise the RAB19 smoke detector designation from Function A to Function B to reflect the additional detector capability.

The proposed changes to Table 3.3-11 for the charcoal air filter units will correct typographical errors in filter train identification numbers and revise room name descriptions to be consistent with Waterford 3 standard usage. These changes are purely administrative.

Safety Analysis The proposed changes described above shall be deemed to involve a significant hazards consideration if there is a positive finding in any of the following areas:

1.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident?

Response: No

V The proposed change to the RAB19 smoke detectors provides increased fire suppression capability. As such, the probability of damage to redundant safe shutdown components passing through RAB19 is decreased and the potential consequences of a fire in that area are reduced from that existing during Cycle 1.

The administrative changes to the charcoal air filter unit designations have no physical effect on plant systems.

2.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed changes will either enhance fire suppression capability or introduce no physical change to the plant. Therefore, the proposed changes will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3.

Will operation of the facility in accordance with this proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No The RAB19 smoke detectors vill provide an increased margin of safety over that available during Cycle 1 due to the additional suppression capability. The administrative changes to the charcoal filter units will introduce no plant changes and therefore will not affect safety margins.

The Commission has provided guidance concerning the application of standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing certain examples (40 FR 14870) of amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards consideration.

Example (1) relates to a purely administrative change (e.g. a change to achieve consistency throughout the Technical Specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclature). Example (ii) relates to a change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications, (e.g., a more stringent surveillance requirement).

In this case, the proposed changes to the charcoal air filter units are similar to Example (1) in that numbering errors are being corrected and nomenclature changed to be consistent with Waterford 3 usage. The RAB19 proposed change is similar to Example (ii) in placing an additional restriction (suppression system actuation) on the smoke detectors.

Safety and Significant Hazards Consideration Based on the above Safety Analysis, it is concluded that:

(1) the proposed change does not constitute a significant hazard consideration as defined in 10CFR50.92; and (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed change; and (3) this action will not result in a condition which significantly alters the impact of the station on the environment as described in the NRC Final Environmental Statement.
