JAFNPP IMPROVED STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (ISTS) CONVERSION ITS: 3.6.1.1 Primary Containment DISCUSSION OF CHANGES (DOCs) TO THE CTS
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.1 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES Al In the conversion of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the proposed plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) certain wording preferences or conventions are adopted that do not result in technical changes.
Editorial changes. reformatting, and revised numbering are adopted to make the ITS consistent with the conventions in NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants, BWR/4",
Revision 1 (i.e., Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS)).
A2 CTS 3.7.A.2 reference to "Primary Containment Integrity" has been deleted since the CTS definition of Primary Containment Integrity in CTS 1.O.M is incorporated into ITS 3.6.1.1, 3.6.1.2 and 3.6.1.3 and is no longer maintained as a separate definition in the ITS.
Proposed ITS 3.6.1.1 requires that the primary containment shall be OPERABLE.
The definition of OPERABLE and the subsequent ITS 3.6.1.1 LCO, ACTIONs, and Surveillances are sufficient to encompass the requirements of the CTS definition.
This change removes any confusion which may exist between the definition and the specific requirements of the LCO and is a presentation preference consistent with NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
Since all aspects of the Primary Containment Integrity definition requirements, along with the remainder of the LCOs in the Containment Systems Primary Containment section (i.e., air locks, isolation valves, suppression pool, etc.) are maintained in subsequent Specifications of ITS this change is considered to be administrative only.
A3 CTS 4.7.A.2.a requirement, to perform required visual examination and leakage rate testing of the Primary Containment, has been changed.
Proposed ITS 3.6.1.1 includes an exception for primary containment air lock testing. This change is acceptable since Proposed ITS 3.6.1.2 will provide for primary containment airlock testing.
Therefore. this change is considered to be a presentation preference consistent with NUREG 1433, Revision 1, and an administrative change only.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M1 CTS 3.7.A.8 requires the reactor to be in the cold condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> if the requirements of CTS 3.7.A.2 (primary containment integrity) cannot be met.
ITS 3.6.1.1 Required Action B.1 requires the plant to be in MODE 3 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if the Required Action and associated Completion Time of ITS 3.6.1.1 ACTION A (Li) is not met.
In addition. ITS 3.6.1.1 Required Action B.2 requires the plant to be in MODE 4 in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> (M2).
This change is more restrictive because it provides an additional Page 1 of 6 Revi sion E JAFN1PP
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.1 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M1 (continued)
-requirement to place the plant in MODE 3 in 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br /> (1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> from Required Action A.1 (L1) and 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> from Required Action B.1).
The allowed Completion Times in Required Action B.1 and B.2 are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
However, the 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time ensures timely action is taken to place the plant in a shutdown condition (MODE 3).
The consequences of any design bases event is significantly reduced when plant is shutdown.
This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
M2 CTS 4.7.A.5.d requires the drywell to suppression chamber leak rate to be verified.
ITS SR 3.6.1.1.2 adds the Frequency requirement that if two consecutive leak tests fail, the leak test must be repeated every 12 months until two consecutive leak tests pass.
Two consecutive test failures would indicate unexpected primary containment degradation, and increasing the Frequency to once every 12 months establishes the acceptability of the drywell to suppression chamber leakage sooner.
The increased Frequency of 12 months for the drywell to suppression chamber leak test following two consecutive test failures imposes additional operational requirements and time restraints.
Therefore, this change is considered to be more restrictive but necessary to ensure suppression pool bypass leakage is maintained within limits.
M3 The CTS Applicability of the Primary Containment in CTS 3.7.A.2 is whenever the reactor is critical or when the reactor water temperature is above 212°F and fuel is in the reactor vessel.
In addition, there is an exception in CTS 3.7.A.2. to not require primary containment integrity to be met during low power physics tests at atmospheric pressure and power levels not to exceed 5 *Wt.
however any change to this requirement is discussed in the Discussion of Changes for ITS 3.10.8.
The scope of the current Applicability covers MODE 1. 3 and portions of MODE 2 operations.
The Applicability in ITS 3.6.1.1 is MODES 1, 2 and 3.
This change is considered more restrictive since the containment will be required to be Operable at all times in MODE 2 even prior to any plant startup when reactor coolant temperature may be below 212°F.
This change is consistent with NUREG-1433. Revision 1.
Page 2 of 6 Revi sion E
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.1 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M4 The CTS 4.7.A.5.d requirement that the drywell to suppression chamber leak rate test be conducted at 1 psid is being changed to a differential pressure of k 1 psi.
Performing the test at precisely 1 psid is not
-possible and actual test performance is conducted at slightly higher differential pressure to ensure test differential pressure does not decrease to less than 1 psi.
The higher test differential pressure increases leakage resulting in conservative (more restrictive) test results.
Therefore, this change is considered to be more restrictive but necessary to allow test performance in strict compliance with the SR and in a conservative manner.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (GENERIC)
LA1 The details of the CTS 1.0.M definition of Primary Containment integrity that the drywell and pressure suppression chamber are intact and the requirement that manways (CTS 1.0.M.4) are closed are proposed to be relocated to the Bases.
The requirement in ITS LCO 3.6.1.1 that the Primary Containment shall be OPERABLE (see A2) and the definition of Operability is sufficient to ensure the requirements are met.
The ITS 3.6.1.1 LCO Bases states that compliance with this LCO will ensure a primary containment configuration, including hatches (manways), that is structurally sound and that will limit leakage to those leakage rates assumed in the analysis.
This requirement ensures the existing requirements are retained.
As such, these details are not required to be in the ITS to provide adequate protection of public health and safety.
Changes to the Bases will be controlled by the provisions of the Bases Control Program described in Chapter 5 of the ITS.
LA2 Not used.
LA3 The details in CTS 3.7.A.5.e that the drywell to suppression chamber leakage rate limit of & 71 scfm shall be monitored via the suppression chamber 10 minute pressure transient is proposed to be relocated to the Bases.
The requirement in ITS SR 3.6.1.1.2 to verify the suppression chamber pressure increase is s 0.25 in. water gauge/minute for a 10 minute period is sufficient to ensure the requirement is met.
The details in the Bases of SR 3.6.1.1.2 will ensure the test is performed consistent with the current requirements.
As such, these details are not required to be in the ITS to provide adequate protection of public health and safety.
Changes to the Bases will be controlled by the provisions of the Bases Control Program described in Chapter 5 of the ITS.
LA4 The requirement of CTS 4.7.A.3 (Continuous Leak Rate Monitoring) that when the primary containment is inerted, it shall be continuously Page 3 of 6 Revision E JAFNPP

LA4 (continued) monitored for gross leakage by review of the inerting system makeup requirements is proposed to be relocated to the UFSAR.
The requirements in ITS LCO 3.6.1.1, that the Primary Containment shall be Operable, the requirement in ITS LCO 3.6.1.2, that two primary containment air locks shall be Operable, the definition of Operability, and the requirements in SR 3.6.1.1.1 and SR 3.6.1.2.1 to perform required visual examinations and leakage rate testing in accordance with the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program are sufficient to ensure all Primary Containment Leakage limits are met. As such, this Surveillance is not required to be in the ITS to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. Changes to the UFSAR will be controlled by the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
Li CTS 3.7.A.2 does not provide any time to restore the primary containment to Operable status if it is found to be inoperable.
Entry into CTS 3.7.A.8 is required and the plant is required to be in cold shutdown within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
ITS 3.6.1.1 ACTION A has been added to allow 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to restore primary containment to OPERABLE status.
ITS 3.6.1.1 ACTION A provides 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to restore the primary containment to OPERABLE before proceeding to ACTION B and the subsequent MODE 3 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (Ml) and MODE 4 in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> (12). The additional one hour allowed to restore primary containment provides a period of time to correct the problem commensurate with the importance of maintaining primary containment OPERABILITY during MODES 1, 2, and 3.
Additionally, the one hour period ensures the probability of an accident (requiring containment OPERABILITY) occurring during periods where primary containment is inoperable is maintained at a minimum.
L2 CTS 3.7.A.8 requires the reactor to be in the cold condition (MODE 4) within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> if the requirements of CTS 3.7.A.2 (primary containment integrity) cannot be met.
ITS 3.6.1.1 Required Action B.2 requires the plant to be in MODE 4 in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> if the Required Action and associated Completion Time (primary containment restored to OPERABLE status in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />) of ITS 3.6.1.1 ACTION A (L1) is not met.
However, ITS 3.6.1.1 Required Action B.1 requires the plant to be in MODE 3min 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (MU).
This change is less restrictive because it extends the time for the plant to be in MODE 4 from 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br /> (1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> from Required Action A.1 (Li) and 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> from Required Action B.1).
The allowed Completion Times in Required Actions B.1 and B.2 are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from Revision E JAFNPP Page 4 of 6
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.1 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
L2 (continued) full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant
-systems.
The consequences of an accident are not significantly increased because ITS 3.6.1.1, Required Action B.1 will require the plant be placed in MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> once the determination is made that the Required Action or Completion Time associated with the primary containment being inoperable cannot be satisfied.
This change reduces the time the reactor would be allowed to continue to operate once the condition is identified.
The consequences of a LOCA are significantly mitigated when the reactor is shutdown and a controlled cooldown is already in progress.
This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
L3 The requirement in CTS 4.7.A.1 to perform a visual inspection of the accessible interior surfaces of the drywell and above the water line of the torus (suppression chamber) once per 24 months for evidence of deterioration is proposed to be deleted.
The visual examination required by CTS 4.7.A.2.a (ITS SR 3.6.1.1.1) duplicates the visual inspection (examination) required by CTS 4.7.A.1 except for the Frequency of the required examinations.
CTS 4.7.A.2.a (ITS SR 3.6.1.1.1) is required by the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, which is based on 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, to be performed prior to each Type A test and two additional times during each 10 year interval.
Thus the CTS 4.7.A.2.a (ITS SR 3.6.1.1.1) required visual examination is performed at least 3 times in each 10 year period while the CTS 4.7.A.1 required visual inspection is performed once per 24 months (or five times in a 10 year period).
Additional examinations are performed as required by the Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program and every five years as required by the Maintenance Rule.
The results of examinations conducted over more than 20 years of plant operation and through 14 refuel outages has shown that no significant deterioration has taken place.
This operating experience base demonstrates that performing the visual examinations at the Frequency required by the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program (at least three examinations in a 10 year period) is adequate to detect significant deterioration of the accessible interior surfaces of the drywell and above the water line of the suppression chamber.
As such, performing the CTS 4.7.A.1 required visual inspections once per 24 months is not required to provide adequate protection of public health and safety.
Changes to the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program are controlled by the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59.

Li CHANGE New York Power Authority has evaluated the proposed Technical Specification change and has concluded that it does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
Our conclusion is in accordance with the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
The bases for the conclusion that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration are discussed below.
- 1.
Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The proposed change adds an ACTION to allow one hour to restore the primary containment to OPERABLE status.
The addition of one hour allows restoration of primary containment within a period of time commensurate with the importance of maintaining primary containment OPERABILITY during MODES 1. 2, and 3.
Also, the one hour period to restore primary containment ensures that the probability of an accident (requiring primary containment OPERABILITY) occurring during periods where primary containment is inoperable is minimal.
This change allows the plant a more lenient shutdown path than currently exists, permitting the shutdown (if primary containment OPERABILITY cannot be restored) to proceed in a more orderly and controlled manner.
This change will not allow continuous operation when components are inoperable or parameter limits are not met.
This change to the Completion Times to attempt to restore primary containment OPERABILITY is not assumed in the initiation of any analyzed event.
Therefore, the probability of an accident previously evaluated is not significantly increased.
In addition, the consequences of an event occurring during the proposed primary containment restoration Completion Time are the same as the consequences of an event occurring during the existing Completion Times.
Therefore. the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2.
Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
This change to the Completion Times to attempt to restore primary containment OPERABILITY is not assumed in the initiation of any analyzed event.
In addition, the consequences of an event occurring during the proposed primary Revision E Page 1 of 6 JAFNPP

- 3.
Does this change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components. changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The relaxation in the time allowed to initiate a plant shutdown (allowing one hour to attempt to restore primary containment OPERABILITY prior to initiating a plant shutdown) represents a relaxation over the provisions of the current definition of Limiting Condition for Operation.
However, this relaxation is acceptable based on the small probability of an event requiring primary containment OPERABILITY and the desire to minimize transients.
This change will not affect a margin of safety because it has no impact on the safety analysis assumptions.
The Completion Time to restore primary containment OPERABILITY is not assumed in any analyzed accidents.
The proposed change will enhance plant safety by providing an opportunity to avoid a shutdown transient by the restoration of primary containment OPERABILITY within a reasonable amount of time.
Therefore, this change will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

- 1.
Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components. changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The proposed change modifies the Completion Times for Shutdown Actions when a Required Action and associated Completion Time specified in the Technical Specifications cannot be met.
The proposed change does not increase the probability of an accident because the change extends the time allowed for the pl ant to get to Cold Shutdown from 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
Shutdown Completion Times are not assumed in the initiation of any analyzed event.
The change will not allow continuous operation with the primary containment inoperable.
The consequences of an accident are not significantly increased because ITS 3.6.1.1, Required Action B.1 will require that the plant be placed in MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> once the determination is made that the Required Action or Completion Time associated with the primary containment being inoperable cannot be satisfied.
This change reduces the time the reactor would be allowed to continue to operate once the condition is identified.
The consequences of a LOCA are significantly mitigated when the reactor is shutdown and a controlled cooldown is already in progress.. In addition, the consequences of an event occurring during the proposed shutdown Completion Time are the same as the consequences of an event occurring during the existing shutdown Completion Time.
Therefore, the change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an event previously evaluated.

This concurrent change reduces the time the reactor would be allowed to continue to operate once the condition is identified.
The consequences of a LOCA are significantly mitigated when the reactor is shutdown and a controlled cooldown is already in progress.
In addition, this change provides the benefit of a reduced potential for a plant event that could challenge safety systems by providing additional time to reduce pressure in a controlled and orderly manner.
Therefore, this change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The bases for the conclusion that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration are discussed below.

Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change deletes a requirement to perform a visual inspection of the accessible interior surfaces of the drywell and above the water line of the suppression chamber once per 24 months.
The same visual inspection is required by other requirements at other (less frequent) intervals.
The probability of an accident is not increased by elimination of a surveillance requirement that is not assumed to be the initiator of any analyzed event.
The consequences of an accident are not significantly increased because the same visual inspection (examination) is required by CTS 4.7.A.2.a (proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.1.1),
the Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program, and the Maintenance Rule.
Past performance of CTS 4.7.A.1 and these other requirements has shown that evidence of deterioration of the accessible interior surfaces of the drywell and above the water line of the suppression chamber would be detected under the reduced examination Frequency requirements of CTS 4.7.A.2.a (proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.1.1) prior to the deterioration being significant.
Therefore, this change will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2.
Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components. changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The proposed change will still ensure visual examinations are performed as required by CTS 4.7.A.2.a (proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.1.1). the Maintenance Rule and the ISI program at a Frequency that is adequate to detect evidence of deterioration prior to the deterioration being significant.
Therefore.
this change will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

-Does this change involve a significant redluction in a margin of safety?
The proposed change increases the interval between visual examinations of the accessible interior surface of the drywell and above the water line of the suppression chamber for evidence of deterioration by deletion of the CTS 4.7.A.1 requirement to perform the examination once per 24 months.
Industry and plant operating experience demonstrates that examinations performed as required by CTS 4.7.A.2.a (proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.1.1). the Maintenance Rule, and the Inservice Inspection (ISI)
Program are adequate for detection of the evidence of deterioration.
In addition, since the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Test Program contains provision for decreasing the interval between tests as a result of unsatisfactory test results, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

In the analysis of this accident, it is assumed that primary containment is OPERABLE such that release of fission products to the environment is controlled by the rate of primary containment leakage.
Analytical methods and assumptions involving the primary containment are presented in References I and 2.
The safety analyses assume a nonmechanistic fission-product release following a DBA. which forms the basis for determination of offsite doses.
The fission product release is, in turn, based on an assumed leakage rate from the primary containment.
OPERABILITY of the primary containment ensures that the leakage rate ass, the an alyses is not exceeded.

In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES.
Therefore, primary containment is not required to be OPERABLE in NODES 4 and 5 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from primary containment.

The I hour Completion Tim provides a period of time to correct the problem commensurate with the importance of maintaining primary containmnt OPERABILITY during NOES 1, 2, and 3.
This tim period also ensures that the probability of an accident (requiring primary containment OPERABILITY) occurring during periods where primary containment is inoperable is minimal.
If primary containment cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Tim, the plant must be brought to a VIODE in which the LCO does not apply.

Primary Containment B 3.6.1.1 B 3.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEM4S B 3.6.1.1 Primary Containment BASES BACKGROUND The function of the primary containment is to isolate and contain fission products released from the Reactor Primary System following a Design Basis Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) and to confine the postulated release of radioactive material.
The primary containment consists of the drywell (a steel pressure vessel in the shape of an inverted light bulb) and the suppression chamber (a steel pressure vessel in the shape of a torus) located below and encircling the drywell.
The primary containment surrounds the Reactor Coolant System and provides an essentially leak tight barrier against an uncontrolled release of radioactive material to the environment.
The isolation devices for the penetrations in the primary containment boundary are a part of the containment leak tight barrier.
To maintain this leak tight barrier:
- a.
All penetrations required to be closed during accident conditions are either:
- 1.
capable of being closed by an OPERABLE automatic containment isolation system, or
- 2.
closed by manual valves, blind flanges, or de-activated automatic valves secured in their closed positions, except as provided in LCO 3.6.1.3, "Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs);
- b.
The primary containment air lock is OPERABLE, except as provided in LCO 3.6.1.2. "Primary Containment Air Locks'; and
- c.
All equipment hatches are closed.
This Specification ensures that the performance of the primary containment, in the event of a Design Basis Accident (DBA),
meets the assumptions used in the safety analyses of References 1 and 2.

Primary Containment B 3.6.1.1 BASES BACKGROUND Appendix J. Option B (Ref. 3), as modified by approved (continued) exemptions.
APPLICABLE The safety design basis for the primary containment is that SAFETY ANALYSES it must withstand the pressures and temperatures of the limiting DBA without exceeding the design leakage rate.
The DBA that postulates the maximum release of radioactive material within primary containment is a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA).
In the analysis of this accident, it is assumed that primary containment is OPERABLE such that release of fission products to the environment is controlled by the rate of primary containment leakage.
Analytical methods and assumptions involving the primary containment are presented in References 1 and 2.
The safety analyses assume a nonmechanistic fission product release following a DBA, which forms the basis for determination of offsite doses.
The fission product release is, in turn, based on an assumed leakage rate from the primary containment.
OPERABILITY of the primary containment ensures that the leakage rate assumed in the safety analyses is not exceeded.
The maximum allowable leakage rate for the primary containment (L ) is 1.5% by weight of the containment air per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at the design basis LOCA maximum peak containment pressure (P,) of 45 psig (Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program).
Primary containment satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) (Ref. 4).
LCO Primary containment OPERABILITY is maintained by limiting leakage to s 1.0 L., except prior to the first startup after performing a required Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program leakage test.
At this time the applicable leakage limits must be met.
Compliance with this LCO will ensure a primary containment configuration, including equipment hatches, that is structurally sound and that will limit 4

Individual leakage rates for the primary containment air locks are addressed in LCO 3.6.1.2 and specified in the Primary Containment Leakage Testing Program.
In MODES 1, 2, and 3, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material to primary containment.
In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES.
Therefore, primary containment is not required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from primary containment.

This time period also ensures that the probability of an accident (requiring primary containment OPERABILITY) occurring during periods where primary containment is inoperable is minimal.
B.1 and B.2 If primary containment cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a NODE in which the LCO does not apply.

Primary Containment B 3.6.1.1 BASES (continued)
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SR 3.6.1.1.1 Maintaining the primary containment OPERABLE requires compliance with the visual examinations and leakage rate test requirements of the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
Failure to meet the air lock leakage limit (SR 3.6.1.2.1), or the main steam isolation valve leakage limit (SR 3.6.1.3.10) does not necessarily result in a failure of this SR.
The impact of the failure to meet these SRs must be evaluated against the Type A. B, and C acceptance criteria of the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. Failure to meet the Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) or Core Spray (CS)System injection line air operated testable check valve leakage limit (SR 3.6.1.3.11) does not result in failure to meet this SR since the LPCI and CS testable check valve leakage is not included in the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program limits (Ref. 5 and 6).
0 As left leakage. prior to startup after performing a required Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program leakage test, is required to be s 0. 6 L for combined Type B and C leakage, and s 0.75 La for overalT Type A leakage.
At all other times between required leakage rate tests, the acceptance criteria is based on an overall Type A leakage limit of s 1.0 La.
At s 1.0 L. the offsite dose consequences are bounded by the assumptions of the safety analysis.
The Frequency is required by the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
SR 3.6.1.1.2 Maintaining the pressure suppression function of primary containment requires limiting the leakage from the drywell to the suppression chamber.
Thus, if an event were to occur that pressurized the drywell. the steam would be directed through the downcomers into the suppression pool.
This SR is a leak test that confirms that the bypass area between the drywell and suppression chamber is less than the equivalent of a one inch diameter plate orifice (Ref. 1).
This ensures that the leakage paths that would bypass the suppression pool are within allowable limits.

II Primary Containment B 3.6.1.1 BASES (continued)
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS REFERENCES SR 3.6.1.1.2 (continued)
Satisfactory performance of this SR can be achieved by establishing a known differential pressure between the drywell and the suppression chamber (a 1 psi)and verifying that the pressure in the suppression chamber does not increase by more than 0.25 inches of water per minute over a 10 minute period.
The leakage test is performed every 24 months.
The 24 month Frequency was developed considering the fact that component failures that might have affected this test are identified by other primary containment SRs.
Two consecutive test failures, however, would indicate unexpected primary containment degradation; in this event, as the Note indicates, increasing the Frequency to once every 12 months is required until the situation is remedied as evidenced by passing two consecutive tests.

JAFNPP IMPROVED STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (ISTS) CONVERSION ITS: 3.6.1.2 Primary Containment Air Locks DISCUSSION OF CHANGES (DOCs) TO THE CTS a¸
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.2 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS R
ZIIT ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES Al In the conversion of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the proposed plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) certain wording
-preferences or conventions are adopted that do not result in technical changes.
Editorial changes, reformatting, and revised numbering are adopted to make the ITS consistent with the conventions in NUREG-1434 "Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants, BWR/6",
Revision 1 (i.e., Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS)).
A2 CTS 3.7.A.2 reference to "Primary Containment Integrity" has been deleted since the CTS 1.0.M definition of Primary Containment Integrity is incorporated into ITS 3.6.1.1. 3.6.1.2, and 3.6.1.3 and is no longer maintained as a separate definition in the ITS.
Proposed ITS 3.6.1.2 requires that the primary containment air locks shall be OPERABLE.
The definition of OPERABLE and the subsequent ITS 3.6.1.2 LCO, ACTIONs, and Surveillances are sufficient to encompass the requirements of the CTS definition for airlock requirements.
This change removes any confusion which may exist between the definition and the specific requirements of the LCO and is a presentation preference consistent with NUREG 1434, Revision 1.
Since, all aspects of the Primary Containment Integrity definition requirements, along with the remainder of the LCOs in the Containment Systems Primary Containment section (i.e., primary containment, isolation valves, suppression pool, etc.) are maintained in subsequent Specifications of ITS this change is considered to be administrative only.
A3 CTS 4.7.A.2.a is modified by Note 1.
Proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.2.1 NOTE states, "An inoperable air lock door does not invalidate the previous successful performance of the overall air lock leakage test."
Since the inoperability affects only one door, the barrel and the other OPERABLE door are providing a sufficient containment barrier.
Even though the overall test acceptance criteria may not be satisfied (SR 3.0.1 would normally require this to result in declaring the LCO not met " possibly requiring proposed Condition C to be entered), the Note clarifies the intent that the previous test not be considered "not met."
Adding this Note, is consistent with the CTS 1.0.M Primary Containment Integrity condition requirement that at least one door in each air lock is closed and sealed, and the Required Actions of ITS 3.6.1.2 Condition A allowing for one door in an air lock being INOPERABLE.
Therefore, this change is considered to be an administrative change.
Page 1 of 7 JAFNPP Revision E
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.2 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES A4 Not Used.
A5 CTS 3.7.A.2 has been modified by addition of a Note.
Proposed ITS 3.6.1.2 ACTIONS Note 3 requirement, to enter the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of ITS 3.6.1.1, Primary Containment, when air lock leakage exceeds the overall Primary Containment leakage rate acceptance criteria, establishes the need to consider the Primary Containment OPERABILITY if the air lock leakage acceptance criteria is not being met.
This change is consistent with the relationship of containment integrity and air lock OPERABILITY established in the CTS 1.O.M definition of Containment Integrity.
In addition, CTS 4.7.A.2.a (the primary containment airlock leakage surveillance test) is modified by Note 2.
Note 2 of ITS SR 3.6.1.2.1 states that the "Results shall be evaluated against criteria applicable to SR 3.6.1.1.1".
SR 3.6.1.1.1 is the primary containment leakage rate test.
This will ensure that air lock leakage is properly accounted for in determining the combined Type B and C primary containment leakage.
These Notes are considered administrative since CTS 4.7.A.2.a currently applies to both Type B and C testing and consistent with the design basis analysis.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE R
M1 CTS 3.7.A.2 requirement, for primary containment integrity (as defined in CTS 1.O.M. which requires only, that at least one door in each air lock is closed and sealed), is being revised.
NUREG-1434. Revision 1, ITS 3.6.1.2 Bases for air lock OPERABILITY, requires that both air lock doors be OPERABLE.
As a result of this requirement, ITS 3.6.1.2 Condition A, for one or more primary containment air locks with one primary containment air lock door INOPERABLE, associated Required Actions. and Completion Times, has been added.
This change is acceptable since it establishes the Required Actions and associated Completion Times which ensure that an acceptable primary containment leakage boundary is maintained.
Since, this change imposes additional operational requirements, it constitutes a more restrictive change.
This change is not considered to result in any reduction to safety.
Page 2 of 7 JAFNPP Revision E
-j DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.2 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M2 ITS SR 3.6.1.2.2, to verify that only one door in the primary containment air lock can be opened at a time, has been added.
CTS 4.7.A.2 does not have a requirement to ensure the interlock mechanism is OPERABLE.
The air lock interlock mechanism is designed to prevent simultaneous opening of both doors in the air lock.
This prevents the primary containment from being INOPERABLE due to both air lock doors being open at the same time.
In addition ITS 3.6.1.2 ACTION B. for one or more primary containment air locks with primary containment air lock interlock mechanism INOPERABLE. associated Required Actions, and Completion Times, has also been added.
This change is acceptable since it establishes the Required Actions and associated Completion Times and Surveillance Requirements which ensure that an acceptable primary containment leakage boundary is maintained.
The addition of new Surveillance Requirements and ACTIONS imposes additional operational requirements, and constitutes a more restrictive change.
This change is not considered to result in any reduction to safety.
M3 CTS 3.7.A.8 requirement, that the reactor to be in the cold condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> if the requirements of Specification 3.7.A.2 cannot be met, is being changed.
ITS 3.6.1.2 Required Action D.1 requires the plant to be in MODE 3 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if the Required Action and associated Completion Times for restoring an INOPERABLE air lock are not met.
In addition, ITS 3.6.1.2 Required Action D.2 places the plant in MODE 4 in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> (L4).
This change is more restrictive because it provides an additional requirement to place the plant in MODE 3 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> The allowed Completion Times in Required Action D.1 and D.2 are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
However, the 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time ensures timely action is taken to place the plant in a shutdown condition (MODE 3).
The consequences of any design bases event is significantly reduced when plant is shutdown.
This change is consistent with NUREG-1434, Revision 1.
-2 M4 The CTS Applicability of the Primary Containment in CTS 3.7.A.2 is whenever the reactor is critical or when the reactor water temperature is above 212°F and fuel is in the reactor vessel.
In addition, there is an exception in CTS 3.7.A.2, to not require primary containment integrity to be met during low power physics tests at atmospheric pressure and power levels not to exceed 5 MWt, however any change to this requirement is discussed in the Discussion of Changes for ITS 3.10.8.
The scope of the current Applicability covers MODE 1, 3 and portions of MODE 2 operations.
The Applicability in ITS 3.6.1.2 is MODES 1, 2 and 3.
This change is considered more restrictive since the primary containment air locks will be required to be Operable at all JAFNPP Page 3 of 7 Revision E

TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICIVE (GENERIC)
(1IIT_ *-iI.-*
LA1 The detail of the CTS definition of Primary Containment Integrity in CTS 1.0.M.2 that at least one door in each airlock is closed and sealed is proposed to be relocated to the Bases.
The requirement in ITS LCO 3.6.1.2 that two primary containment air locks shall be Operable, the definition of Operability and the associated Surveillances of ITS 3.6.1.2 are sufficient to ensure the requirements are met.
The ITS 3.6.1.2 Bases describes the design of the airlock doors (each of the personnel access hatch doors contains double gasketed seals) and requires them to be closed.
As such, these details are not required to be in the ITS to provide adequate protection of public health and safety.
Changes to the Bases will be controlled by the provisions of the Bases Control Program described in Chapter 5 of the ITS.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
Li A Note is being added to the actions of CTS 3.7.A.2 (ITS 3.6.1.2 ACTION Table Note 1) to permit entry through a closed or locked air lock door for the purpose of making-0epairs.
If the outer door is inoperable, then it may be easily accessed for repair.
If the inner door is inoperable, however, then it is proposed to allow entry through the OPERABLE outer door, which means there is a short time during which the primary containment boundary is not intact (during access through the outer door).
The proposed allowance will have strict administrative controls, which are detailed in the proposed Bases.
A dedicated (i.e., not involved with any repair or other maintenance effort) individual will be assigned to ensure:
- 1) the door is opened only for the period of time required to gain entry into or exit from the air lock, and 2) any operable door is re-locked prior to the departure of the dedicated individual.
Repairs are directed towards reestablishing two OPERABLE doors in the air lock.
Two OPERABLE doors closed is clearly the most desirable plant condition for air locks.
The existing actions, in some circumstances, allow indefinite operation with only one OPERABLE door locked closed.
Two OPERABLE doors closed is clearly an improvement on safety over one

DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.2 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
Li (continued)
OPERABLE door locked closed.
By not allowing access to make repairs, the existing actions could result in an inability of the plant to establish and maintain this highest level of safety possible (two OPERABLE doors closed), without a forced plant shutdown.
Furthermore, the overall air lock test must be performed every 6 months.
This could eventually result in a pl ant shutdown from the inability to properly perform this test due to the inability to affect repairs to the inoperable door.
Therefore, allowing entry and exit, while temporarily allowing loss of containment operability, is proposed based on the expected result of restoring two OPERABLE doors to the air lock.
Restricting this access to make repairs of an inoperable door or air lock ensures this allowance applies only towards meeting this goal.
This change is acceptable due to the low probability of an event that could pressurize the primary containment during the short time in which the containment integrity is compromised, and the increased safety attained by completing repairs such that two OPERABLE doors can be closed.
L2 CTS 3.7.A.2 primary containment integrity (air lock) requirement, for at least one door in each air lock to be closed and sealed (CTS 1.0.M.2).
is being revised.
ITS 3.6.1.2 Condition A (Ml). Required Actions Note 2 is being added.
This note allows entry through a closed and/or locked OPERABLE air lock door (for reasons other than repairs) for a limited period of time (i.e., 7 days) if one or both air locks are inoperable (due to the inoperability of one air lock door).
Although one OPERABLE air lock door locked closed is sufficient to maintain primary containment integrity and allow continued operation, entry and exit during operation may be necessary to perform.Technical Specification (TS) Surveillances and Required Actions, as well as other activities inside primary containment that are required by TS or activities that support TS required equipment.
Should access not be allowed, a plant shutdown could be required to attend to these activities.
The proposed allowance requires administrative controls, which are detailed in the Bases.
A dedicated (i.e.. not involved with any repair or other maintenance effort) individual will be assigned to ensure:
- 1) the door is opened only for the period of time required for entry or exit from the air lock, and 2).the OPERABLE door is closed and locked prior to the departure of the dedicated individual.
This allowance is considered acceptable due to the low probability of an event that could pressurize the primary containment during the short time the OPERABLE door is expected to be open.

DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.2 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
L3 A new Condition and Required Action is being added to CTS 3.7.A.2.
ITS 3.6.2.1 ACTION C, for a primary containment air lock inoperable for reasons other than Condition A (one or more primary containment air locks with one primary air lock door inoperable) or B (one or more primary containment air locks with primary containment air lock interlock mechanism inoperable).
Since, an inoperable air lock does not necessarily mean the primary containment is inoperable, Required Action C.3 allows up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to restore an inoperable air lock to OPERABLE status.
Required Action C.1 immediately initiates action to evaluate primary containment overall leakage (OPERABILITY) using current air lock test results.
If this evaluation shows the primary containment is inoperable, then proposed Note 3 to the ACTIONS would require the primary containment LCO ACTIONS to be entered (thus, the full 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of this LCO could not be used).
If however, the evaluation is satisfactory, the full 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> could be utilized since the accident analysis assumptions are still met.
In addition, Required Action C.2 verifies, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, that a door is closed, consistent with the ACTIONS of LCO 3.6.1.1 that require primary containment be restored to OPERABLE status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.
L4 CTS 3.7.A.8 requirement, that the reactor be in the cold condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> if the requirements of CTS 3.7.A.2 (3.7.A.1 through 3.7.A.5) cannot be met, is being relaxed.
ITS 3.6.1.2 Required Action D.2 allows the plant 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> to reach COLD SHUTDOWN (MODE 4). However, ITS 3.6.1.2 Required Action D.1 requires the plant to be in MODE 3 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (M3).
This change is less restrictive because it extends the time for the plant to be in MODE 4 from 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
The allowed Completion Times in Required Actions D.1 and D.2 are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
The consequences of an accident are not significantly increased because ITS 3.6.1.2, Required Action D.1 will require the plant be placed in MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> once the determination is made that the Required Action or Completion Time associated with the primary containment being inoperable cannot be satisfied.
This change reduces the time the reactor would be allowed to continue to operate once the condition is identified.
The consequences of a LOCA are significantly mitigated when the reactor is shutdown and a controlled cooldown is already in progress.
This change is consistent with NUREG-1434, Revision 1.

DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.2 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
L5 CTS 3.7.A.2 has been modified by addition of a Note.
Proposed ITS 3.6.1.2, ACTIONS Note 2, provides specific instructions to allow separate Condition entry for each air lock to ensure proper application of the ACTIONS for Technical Specification compliance.
Separate Condition entry for each air lock allows the ACTIONS to be applied to each airlock consistent with the reasons for Condition entry.
That is, the specific Condition applicable to each cause of airlock inoperability is allowed to be addressed separately and concurrently for each air lock.
Addition of the Note, in conjunction with addressing "...one or more...air lock...n in the Condition statements avoids the need to provide a second series of Conditions that address inoperability of both air locks in addition to Conditions that address inoperabilty of only one air lock.
Allowing separate Condition entry for each air lock is consistent with Specification 3.6.1.3, Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs), with regard to allowing separate Condition entry for each penetration and is consistent with NUREG-1434, Revision 1.

4
-I NO -SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATIONS ITS: 3.6.1.2 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
L1 CHANGE New York Power Authority has evaluated the proposed Technical Specification change and has concluded that it does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
Our conclusion is in accordance with the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
The bases for the conclusion that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration are discussed below.
- 1.
Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change would allow entering and exiting via the OPERABLE door for the purpose of making repairs to a primary containment air lock.
Failure of an air lock is not an initiator of any analyzed event.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve an increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated.
The change to allow entering and exiting the OPERABLE door for the purpose of making repairs results in a potential increase in consequences should an accident occur while it is open.
This increase is minimized through administrative controls and offset by avoiding the potential consequences of an unnecessary transient during shutdown.
The potential consequences resulting from the combination of:
- 1) the requency of experiencing an inoperable air lock door such that temporarily opening the OPERABLE door is required for access to repair;
- 2) the brief period the OPERABLE door would be opened for access (typically on the order of one minute per entry/exit); and 3) the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude to cause an immediate containment pressure increase such that an air lock door could not be closed: are not significant.
The allowance is proposed to have strict administrative control which will provide assurance that any associated potential consequences are minimized.
Therefore, these proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2.
Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

L2 CHANGE New York Power Authority has evaluated the proposed Technical Specification change and has concluded that it does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
Our conclusion is in accordance with the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
The bases for the conclusion that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration are discussed below.
- 1.
Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change would allow entering and exiting via the OPERABLE door for a limited period of time to perform Technical Specification (TS) Surveillances and Required Actions, as well as other activities inside primary containment that are required by TS or activities that support TS required equipment.
Failure of an air lock is not identified as the initiator of any analyzed event.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve an increase in the probability of an accident previously evaluated.
The change to allow entering and exiting via the OPERABLE door to perform Technical Specifications (TS) Surveillances and Required Actions, as well as other activities inside primary containment that are required by TS or activities that support TS required equipment results in a potential increase in consequences should an accident occur while it is open.
This potential increase is minimized through administrative controls and offset by avoiding the potential consequences of an unnecessary transient during shutdown.
The potential consequences resulting from the combination of: 1) the frequency of experiencing an inoperable air lock door such that temporarily opening the OPERABLE door is required; 2) the brief period the OPERABLE door would be opened for access (typically on the order of one minute per entry/exit); and 3) the occurrence of an event of sufficient magnitude to cause an immediate containment pressure increase such that an air lock door could not be closed: are not considered to be significant.
The allowance is proposed to have strict administrative control, which will provide assurance that any associated potential consequences are minimized.
Therefore, these proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2.
Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

(continued) normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The primary containment air lock is designed and assumed to be used for entry and exit.
Its operation does not interface with the reactor coolant system (RCS) or any controls which could impact the RCS pressure boundary or its support systems.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

Does this change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
Containment leak rate limits are unaffected.
The proposed change to allow the temporary opening of the one OPERABLE door to perform Technical Specification (TS)
Surveillances and Required Actions, as well as other activities inside primary containment that are required by TS or activities that support TS required equipment is not considered to be a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
The combination of:
- 1) the frequency of experiencing an inoperable air lock door such that containment entry is required; 2) the brief period the OPERABLE door would be opened for access (typically on the order of one minute per entry/exit); and 3) the containment pressure increase such that the air lock door could not be closed; are not representative of a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
Additionally, providing the ability to eliminate any reduction in safety resulting from the transient of plant shutdown to follow (due to inability to perform the preventive or corrective maintenance) minimizes any reduction in the margin of safety.
The allowance is proposed to have strict administrative control which will provide assurance that any associated safety reduction is further minimized.
Therefore, these proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

Our conclusion is in accordance with the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
The bases for the conclusion that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration are discussed below.

The primary containment air lock is not assumed to be an initiator of any analyzed accident.
Therefore, the change does not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident previously analyzed.
The change will not allow continuous operation such that it will preclude the air lock function from being performed.
The consequences of an event occurring while the plant is operating during the 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is the same as the consequences of an event occurring if the plant were being shutdown.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the consequences of an accident previously analyzed.
- 2.
Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The system will continue to function in the same way as before the change.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3.
Does this change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
This change allows 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to restore the air lock to OPERABLE status prior to requiring a plant shutdown as long as current air lock leakage results are used to determine that overall primary containment leakage rates are acceptable, and one door in the affected air lock(s) is verified closed.

L4 CHANGE New York Power Authority has evaluated the proposed Technical Specification change and has concluded that it does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
Our conclusion is in accordance with the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
The bases for the conclusion that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration are discussed below.
- 1.
Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The proposed change modifies the Completion Times for Shutdown Actions when a Required Action and associated Completion Time specified in the Technical Specifications cannot be met.
The proposed change does not increase the probability of an accident because the change extends the time allowed for the plant to get to Cold Shutdown from 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
Shutdown Completion Times are not assumed in the initiation of any analyzed event.
The change will not allow continuous operation with the primary containment inoperable.
The consequences of an accident are not significantly increased because ITS 3.6.1.2. Required Action D.1 will require that the plant be placed in MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (M3) once the determination is made that the Required Actions or Completion Times associated with the primary containment air locks cannot be satisfied.
This change reduces the time the reactor would be allowed to continue to operate oncethe condition is identified.
The consequences of a LOCA are significantly mitigated when the reactor is shutdown and a controlled cooldown is already in progress. - In addition, the consequences of an event occurring during the proposed shutdown Completion Time are the same as the consequences of an event occurring during the existing shutdown Completion Time.
Therefore, the change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an event previously evaluated.
- 2.
Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The shutdown Completion Times are not assumed to be the initiator of any analyzed accident.
Therefore, this change will not create the possibility of a Page 7 of 10 Revision E JAFNPP

Does this change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The change extends the time allowed for the plant to get to Cold Shutdown from 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> when the Required Action or Completion Time associated with inoperable primary containment air lock(s) cannot be satisfied.
There is no significant reduction in the margin of safety because ITS 3.6.1.2, Required Action D.1 will require that the plant be placed in MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> (1W3) once the determination is made that the Required Actions or Completion Times associated with the primary containment air locks cannot be satisfied.
This concurrent change reduces the time the reactor would be allowed to continue to operate once the condition is identified.
The consequences of a LOCA are significantly mitigated when the reactor is shutdown and a controlled cool down is already in progress.
In addition, this change provides the benefit of a reduced potential for a plant event that could challenge safety systems by providing additional time to reduce pressure in a controlled and orderly manner.
Therefore, this change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

L5 CHANGE New York Power Authority has evaluated the proposed Technical Specification change and has concluded that it does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
Our conclusion is in accordance with the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.92.
The bases for the conclusion that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration are discussed below.
- 1.
Does the change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
ITS 3.6.1.2. ACTIONS Note 2. is proposed to be added.
The Note allows separate Condition entry for each air lock.
The change does not involve a significant increase the probability of an accident previously evaluated because allowing separate Condition entry for each air lock does not increase the probability of air lock inoperability and air lock inoperability is not assumed to be the initiator of any accident previously evaluated.
Allowing separate Condition entry for each air lock does not increase the consequences of an accident previously evaluated because the time period 'that an air lock is inoperable is not increased.
Therefore. the change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2.
Does the change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components, changes in parameters governing normal plant operation, or methods of operation.
The inoperability of one or more air locks or the separate Condition entry to address inoperability of one or more air locks is not assumed to be the initiator of any accident previously evaluated.
Therefore. this change will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Does this change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
The proposed change does not involve any physical alteration of plant systems, structures or components. changes in parameters governing normal plant operation. or methods of operation.
The change allows separate Condition entry for each air lock.
As such, the change also allows the concurrent (or over-lapping) inoperability of both air locks to be addressed concurrently and thus potentially reduces the time period during which one or more air locks is inoperable by allowing concurrent Required Actions (corrective actions) to be taken.
In addition, this change provides the benefit of a reduced potential for a plant event that could challenge safety systems by allowing separate Condition entry for each air lock (which would be necessary in the event of conditions resulting in more than one air lock being inoperable at the same time) by reducing the potential for a required shutdown of the plant under ITS 3.0.3 due to none of the Conditions in ITS 3.6.1.2 being applicable.
Therefore, this change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

APPLICABILITY In HODES 1, 2, and 3, a OP could cause a release of radioactive material to primary containment.
In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events ai reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations o0 these MODES.
Therefore, the primary containment air locIN not required to be OPERABLE in HOOES 4 and 5 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from primary containment.
The ACTIONS are modified by Note 1, which allows entry and exit to perform repairs of the affected air lock component.
If the outer door is inoperable, then it may be easily accessed for most repairs.
It is preferred that the air lock be accessed from inside primary containment by entering through the other OPERABLE air lock.
However, if this is not practicable, or if repairs on either door must be performed from the barrel side of the door, then it is permissible to enter the air lock through the OPERABLE door, which means there is a short time during which the primary containment boudar not tact durng access thrah the OPERABLE door).

Primary Containment B 3.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS B 3.6.1.2 Primary Containment Air Locks BASES BACKGROUND Two double door primary containment air locks (personnel access hatch and emergency escape hatch) have been built into the primary containment to provide personnel access to the drywell and to provide primary containment isolation during the process of personnel entering and exiting the drywell.
The air locks are designed to withstand the same loads, temperatures. and peak design internal and external pressures as the primary containment (Ref. 1).
As part of the primary containment, the air locks limit the release of radioactive material to the environment during normal plant operation and through a range of transients and accidents up to and including postulated Design Basis Accidents (DBAs).
Each air lock door has been designed and tested to certify its ability to withstand a pressure in excess of the maximum expected pressure following a DBA in primary containment.
Each of the personnel access hatch doors contains double gasketed seals and local leakage rate testing capability to ensure pressure integrity.
To effect a leak tight seal, the air lock design uses pressure seated doors (i.e., an increase in primary containment internal pressure results in increased sealing force on each door).
Each air lock is nominally a right circular cylinder, with doors at each end that are interlocked to prevent simultaneous opening.
The air locks are provided with limit switches on both doors in each airlock that provide control room indication of door position.
During periods when primary containment is not required to be OPERABLE, the air lock interlock mechanism may be disabled, allowing both doors of an air lock to remain open for extended periods when frequent primary containment entry is necessary.
Under some conditions as allowed by this LCO, the primary containment may be accessed through the air lock. when the interlock mechanism has failed, by manually performing the interlock function.
The primary containment air locks form part of the primary containment pressure boundary.
As such, air lock integrity and leak tightness are essential for maintaining the primary containment leakage rate to within limits in the event of a (continued)

,JAFNPP 8 3.6-6
Primary Containment Air Locks B 3.6.1.2 BASES BACKGROUND DBA.
Not maintaining air lock integrity or leak tightness (continued) may result in a leakage rate in excess of that assumed in the plant safety analysis.
APPLICABLE The postulated DBA that results in the maximum release of SAFETY ANALYSES radioactive material within primary containment is a LOCA.
In the analysis of this accident, it is assumed that primary containment is OPERABLE. such that release of fission products to the environment is controlled by the rate of primary containment leakage.
The maximum allowable leakage rate (L,) for the primary containment is 1.5% by weight of the containment air per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at the peak containment pressure (Pa) of 45 psig (Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program).
This allowable leakage rate forms the basis for the acceptance criteria imposed on the SRs associated with the air locks.
Primary containment air lock OPERABILITY is also required to minimize the amount of fission product gases that may escape primary containment through the air lock and contaminate and pressurize the secondary containment.
The primary containment air locks satisfy Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) (Ref. 2).
LCO As part of the primary containment pressure boundary, the air lock's safety function is related to control of containment leakage following a DBA.
Thus, the air lock's structural integrity and leak tightness are essential to the successful mitigation of such an event.
The primary containment air locks are required to be OPERABLE.
For the air lock to be considered OPERABLE, the air lock interlock mechanism must be OPERABLE, the air lock must be in compliance with the Type B air lock leakage test.
and both air lock doors must be OPERABLE.
The interlock allows only one air lock door to be opened at a time.
This provision ensures that a gross breach of primary containment does not exist when primary containment is required to be OPERABLE.
Closure of a single door in each air lock is sufficient to provide a leak tight barrier following postulated events.
Nevertheless, both doors are kept closed (continued)
JAFNPP B 3.6-7 Revision 0 (Rev. E) 4
Primary Containment Air Locks B 3.6.1.2 BASES LCO when the air lock is not being used for normal entry or (continued) exit from primary containment.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1. 2, and 3, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material to primary containment.
In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES.
Therefore. the primary containment air locks are not required to be OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from primary containment.
ACTIONS The ACTIONS are modified by Note 1. which allows entry and exit to perform repairs of the affected air lock component.
If the outer door is inoperable, then it may be easily accessed for most repairs.
It is preferred that the air lock be accessed from inside primary containment by entering through the other OPERABLE air lock.
However, if this is not practicable, or if repairs on either door must be performed from the barrel side of the door, it is permissible to enter the air lock through the OPERABLE door, which means there is a short time during which the primary containment boundary is not intact (during access through the OPERABLE outer door).
The allowance to open the OPERABLE door, even if it means the primary containment boundary is temporarily not intact, is acceptable due to the low probability of an event that could pressurize the primary containment during the short time in which the OPERABLE door is expected to be open.
The OPERABLE door must be immediately closed after each entry and exit.
Note 2 has been included to provide clarification that, for this LCO, separate Condition entry is allowed for each air lock.
This is acceptable, since the Required Actions for each Condition provide appropriate compensatory actions for each inoperable air lock.
Complying with the Required Actions may allow for continued operation, and a subsequent inoperable air lock is governed by subsequent Condition entry and application of associated Required Actions.
The ACTIONS are modified by a third Note, which ensures appropriate remedial measures are taken when necessary, if (continued)

In addition, the affected air lock penetration must be isolated by locking closed the OPERABLE air lock door within the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Completion Time.
The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is considered reasonable for locking the OPERABLE air lock door, considering the OPERABLE door of the affected air lock is being maintained closed.
Required Action A.3 ensures that the affected air lock penetration has been isolated by the use of a locked closed OPERABLE air lock door.
This ensures that an acceptable primary containment leakage boundary is maintained.
The Completion Time of once per 31 days is based on engineering judgment and is considered adequate given the low likelihood of a locked door being mispositioned and other administrative controls.
Required Action A.3 is modified by a Note that applies to air lock doors located in high radiation areas or areas with limited access due to Inerting and allows these doors to be verified locked closed by use of administrative controls.
Allowing verification by administrative controls is considered acceptable, since access to these areas is typically restricted.
Therefore, the probability of misalignment of the door, once it has been verified to be in the proper position. is small.

Primary Containment Air Locks B 3.6.1.2 BASES ACTIONS A.1. A.2. and A.3 (continued)
The Required Actions have been modified by two Notes.
Note 1 ensures that only the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition C are required if both doors in the air lock are inoperable.
With both doors in the air lock inoperable, an OPERABLE door is not available to be closed.
Required Actions C.1 and C.2 are the appropriate remedial actions.
The exception of Note 1 does not affect tracking the Completion Time from the initial entry into Condition A; only the requirement to comply with the Required Actions.
Note 2 allows use of the affected air lock for entry and exit for 7 days under administrative controls.
Primary containment entry may be required to perform Technical Specifications (TS) Surveillances and Required Actions, as well as other activities inside primary containment that are required by TS or activities that support TS-required equipment.
This Note is not intended to preclude performing other activities (i.e., non-TS-related activities) if the primary containment was entered, using the inoperable air lock, to perform an allowed activity listed above.
The required administrative controls consist of stationing a dedicated individual to assure closure of the OPERABLE door except during the entry and exit, and to assure the OPERABLE door is relocked after completion of the containment entry and exit. This allowance is acceptable due to the low probability of an event that could pressurize the primary containment during the short time that the OPERABLE door is expected to be open.
B.1. B.2. and B.3 With an air lock interlock mechanism inoperable in one or both primary containment air locks, the Required Actions and associated Completion Times are consistent with those specified in Condition A.

JAFNPP B83.6-10
Primary Containment Air Locks B 3.6.1.2 BASES ACTIONS B.1, B.2. and B.3 (continued)
The Required Actions have been modified by two Notes.
Note 1 ensures that only the Required Actions and associated Completion Times of Condition C are required if both doors in the same air lock are inoperable.
With both doors in the same air lock inoperable, an OPERABLE door is not available to be closed.
Required Actions C.1 and C.2 are the appropriate remedial actions.
Note 2 allows entry into and exit from the primary containment under the control of a dedicated individual stationed at the air lock to ensure that only one door is opened at a time (i.e., the individual performs the function of the interlock).
Required Action B.3 is modified by a Note that applies to air lock doors located in high radiation areas or areas with limited access due to inerting and allows these doors to be verified locked closed by use of administrative controls.
Allowing verification by administrative controls is considered acceptable, since access to these areas is typically restricted.
Therefore, the probability of misalignment of the door, once it has been verified to be in the proper position, is small.
C.1. C.2. and C.3 With one or more air locks inoperable for reasons other than those described in Condition A or B, Required Action C.1 requires action to be inmmediately initiated to evaluate containment overall leakage rates using current air lock leakage test results.
An evaluation is acceptable since it is overly conservative to immediately declare the primary containment inoperable if both doors in an air mOCK have failed a seal test or if the overall air lock leakage is not within limits.
In many instances (e.g.. only one seal per door has failed), primary containment remains OPERABLE, yet only 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> (according to LCU 3.6.1.1) would be provided to restore the air lock door to OPERABLE status prior to requiring a plant shutdown.
In addition, even with both doors failing the seal test, the overall containment leakage rate can still be within limits.
Rieuired Action C.2 requires that one door in the affected primary containment air locks must be verified closed. This Required Action must be completed within the 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Coletion Time.
This specified time period is consistent with the ACTIONS of LCO 3.6.1.1 which require that primary containent be restored to OPERABLE status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

Primary Containment Air Locks B 3.6.1.2 BASES ACTIONS C.1. C.2. and C.3 (continued)
Additionally, the air lock must be restored to OPERABLE status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (Required Action C.3).
The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is reasonable for restoring an inoperable air lock to OPERABLE status considering that at least one door is maintained closed in each affected air lock.
D.1 and D.2 If the inoperable primary containment air lock(s) cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the associated Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.
The allowed Completion Times are reasonable based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.1.2.1 REQUIREMENTS Maintaining primary containment air locks OPERABLE requires compTiance with the leakage rate test requirements of the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
This SR reflects the leakage rate testing requirements with respect to air lock leakage (Type B leakage tests).
The acceptance criteria were approved in License Amendment 97 (Ref. 3).
The periodic testing requirements verify that the air lock leakage does not exceed the allowed fraction of the overall Drimary containment leakage rate.
The Frequency is required y the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
,it The SR has been modified by two Notes.
Note 1 states that an inoperable air lock door does not invalidate the previous.
successful performance of the overall air lock leakage test. 6 This is considered reasonable since either air lock door is W
capable of providing a fission product barrier in the event
- x of a DBA.
Note 2 has been added to this SR, requiring the 0
results to be evaluated against the acceptance criteria which is applicable to SR 3.6.1.1.1 (Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program).
This ensures that air lock leakage is progerly accounted for in determining the combified Ty0e and C primary containment leakage.

JAFNPP B 3.6-12
Primary Containment Air Locks B 3.6.1.2 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.1.2.2 REQUIREMENTS (continued)
The air lock interlock mechanism is designed to prevent simultaneous opening of both doors in the air lock.
Since both the inner and outer doors of an air lock are designed to withstand the maximum expected post accident primary containment pressure (Ref. 1). closure of either door will support primary containment OPERABILITY.
Thus, the interlock feature supports primary containment OPERABILITY while the air lock is being used for personnel transit in and out of the containment.
Periodic testing of this interlock demonstrates that the interlock will function as designed and that simultaneous inner and outer door opening will not inadvertently occur.
Due to the purely mechanical nature of this interlock, and given that the interlock mechanism is not normally challenged when primary containment air lock is used for entry and exit (procedures require strict adherence to single door opening), this test is only required to be performed every 24 months.
The 24 month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage, and the potential for loss of primary containment OPERABILITY if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power.
Operating experience has shown these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 24 month Frequency.
The 24 month Frequency is based on engineering judgment and is considered adequate given that the interlock is not challenged during use of the air lock.

DISCUSSION OF CHANGES (DOCs) TO THE CTS I
4 I
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.3 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES (PCIVs)
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES Al In the conversion of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the proposed plant
-specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) certain wording preferences or conventions are adopted that do not result in technical changes.
Editorial changes, reformatting, and revised numbering are adopted to make the ITS consistent with the conventions in NUREG-1433.
"Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants. BWR/4",
Revision 1 (i.e., Improved Standard Technical Specifications (ISTS)).
A2 Three Notes have been added to CTS 3.7.D.
Proposed ITS 3.6.1.3 ACTIONS Notes 2, 3, and 4 have been included consistent with NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
These Notes facilitate the use and understanding of the proposed ACTIONS and the relationship between INOPERABLE PCIVs and system OPERABILITY.
ITS 3.6.1.3 Note 2, which allows separate Condition entry for each penetration flow path, provides explicit instructions for proper application of the ACTIONS for Technical Specification compliance.
In conjunction with the proposed Specification 1.3, "Completion Times," this Note provides direction consistent with the intent of the existing ACTIONS for inoperable isolation valves.
ITS 3.6.1.3 Note 3. to enter applicable Conditions and Required Actions for systems made inoperable by PCIVs, establishes the need to verify individual system OPERABILITY based on the affect of an INOPERABLE PCIV.
This requirement is consistent with individual CTS Surveillance Requirements to verify valve OPERABILITY and/or correct position.
ITS 3.6.1.3 Note 4. to enter the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of ITS 3.6.1.1, Primary Containment, when PCIV leakage exceeds the overall Primary Containment leakage rate acceptance criteria, establishes the need to consider the Primary Containment OPERABILITY if the PCIV leakage acceptance criteria Is not being met.
This change is consistent with the relationship of containment integrity and PCIV OPERABILITY established in the CTS 1.0.M definition of Containment Integrity.
In addition Note 4, clarifies that "systems" include the primary containment.
Since proposed LCO 3.0.6 waives the requirement to cascade, the intent of the CTS would not necessarily apply.
The clarification is consistent with the intent and interpretation of the existing Technical Specifications, and is therefore considered admi nistrati ve.
Page 1 of 14 Revision E JAFNPP
-A DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.3 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES (PCIVS)
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES A3 CTS 3.7.D.2 requirement, to maintain at least one isolation valve operable in each affected penetration that is open, is being deleted.
-Proposed ITS 3.6.1.3 Condition A Note has been provided to restrict the applicability to penetrations with two PCIVs. where a second valve is available.
This Note is consistent with the Notes provided in the new proposed ITS 3.6.1.3 Condition B (L3) for two valves inoperable in a penetration with two PCIVs, and ITS 3.6.1.3 Condition C (L4) for penetrations with only one PCIV.
The addition of this Note identifying the applicable configuration, in conjunction with the separate and specific requirements provided in the proposed Conditions, is consistent with the format of NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
Since there is no change in any technical requirements, this change is considered administrative.
A4 The requirement in CTS 3.7.D.2.a, to "restore the inoperable valve(s) to operable status within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />," has been deleted since this is always an option.
Since the time requirements on the alternative actions (CTS 3.7.D.2.b and 3.7.D.2.c are identical this change is considered admi ni strative.
A5 The requirement to record the results in CTS 4.7.D.2 (ITS 3.6.1.3 Required Actions A.2 and C.2) is proposed to be deleted.
This requirement duplicates the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Section XVII (Quality Assurance Records) to maintain records of activities affecting quality, including the results of tests/verifications.
Compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B is required by the JAFNPP Operating License.
The details of the regulations within the Technical Specifications are repetitious and unnecessary.
Therefore, retaining the requirement to perform the associated verifications and eliminating the details from Technical Specifications that are found in 10 CFR 50 Appendix B is considered a presentation preference, which is admi ni strati ve.
A6 CTS 4.7.A.2.b details, specifying the MSIV leakage limit and test pressure, have been deleted.
ITS SR 3.6.1.3.10 requires the MSIV leakage be within the limits of the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
Since identical values are identified in CTS 6.20 and in proposed ITS 5.5.6, Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, this change is a presentation preference and is considered administrative.

AB CTS 3.7.A.2 (3.7.D.1) requirement for primary containment isolation valves (PCIVs) to be Operable, has been revised.

-chamber vacuum breakers.
Although, reactor building-to-suppression chamber vacuum breakers isolate primary containment penetrations, they are excluded from this specification.
This change is acceptable since reactor building-to-suppression chamber vacuum breakers OPERABILITY requirements are currently specified in CTS 3.7.A.4 and retained in proposed ITS 3.6.1.6.
Along with this change the explicit requirement in CTS 3.7.D.1 that all instrument line excess flow check valves must be Operable has been deleted from the current LCO requirements.
Since the valves are considered PCIVs, there is no need to explicitly identify them.
Proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.3.8 will ensure the current requirements in CTS 4.7.D.1.b concerning instrument excess flow check valves are met.
This change constitutes a presentation preference, consistent with NUREG-1433. Revision 1, and therefore, is considered to be administrative.
A9 CTS 4.7.D.l.a requirement, to test PCIVs that are power operated and automatically initiated for simulated automatic initiation per the IST Program, is being revised to present the requirements as intended.
Since the IST Program does not specify the method used to initiate a test for closure timing (ITS SR 3.6.1.3.5), proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.3.7 verification that each automatic PCIV actuates to the isolation position on an actual or simulated isolation signal is provided.
The Frequency of 24 months has been included consistent with the ITS Program, and the requirements of CTS Table 4.2-1 (Note 7), Primary Containment Isolation System Instrumentation Test Cali bration Requirements. which specifies that actual (Li) or simulated automatic actuation shall be performed once per 24 months.
This change represents a presentation preference consistent with format and content provided in NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
and therefore, is considered to be administrative.
A1O CTS 4.7.D.1.c. specifying that all normally ?pen power operated isolation valves (except for the main steam isolation valves) shall be fully closed and reopened, at a Frequency in accordance with the IST Program, is considered to be encompassed by CTS 4.7.D.l.a. proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.3.5 (Verify the isolation time of each automatic PCIV, except for MSIVs, is within limits).
Since SR 3.6.1.3.5 will require closing each automatic PCIV in order to determine the isolation time, even normally open valves will be verified, on a Frequency consistent with the IST Program.
Since the valves are normally open, they will be closed and then reopened while performing the SR and therefore the stroking requirement is being met.
Since no technical changes are being made this change is considered to be administrative.

-I DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.3 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES (PCIVS)
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES All CTS 3.7.A.2 reference to 'Primary Containment Integrity" has been deleted since the CTS definition of Primary Containment Integrity in CTS 1.0.M is incorporated into ITS 3.6.1.1, 3.6.1.2 and 3.6.1.3 and is no longer maintained as a separate definition in the ITS.
Proposed ITS 3.6.1.3 requires each primary containment isolation valve to be OPERABLE.
The definition of OPERABLE and the subsequent ITS 3.6.1.3 LCO, ACTIONs, and Surveillances are sufficient to encompass the requirements of the CTS definition.
This change removes any confusion which may exist between the definition and the specific requirements of the LCO and is a presentation preference consistent with NUREG-1433.
Revision 1.
Since all aspects of the Primary Containment Integrity definition requirements, along with the remainder of the LCOs in the Containment Systems Primary Containment section (i.e.. primary.
containment air locks, suppression pool, etc.) are maintained in subsequent Specifications of ITS this change is considered to be administrative only.
TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M1 CTS 3.7.D.1 requires the primary containment isolation valves to be Operable whenever the primary containment integrity is required by CTS 3.7.A.2.
The Applicability in CTS 3.7.A.2 is at all times when the reactor is critical or when the reactor water temperature is above 212OF and whenever fuel is in the reactor vessel.
In addition, there is an exception in CTS 3.7.A.2. to not require primary containment integrity to be met during low power physics tests at atmospheric pressure and power levels not to exceed 5 IMt, however any change to this requirement is discussed in the Discussion of Changes for ITS 3.10.8.
The scope of the current Applicability covers MODE 1. 3 and portions of MODE 2 operations.
The Applicability in ITS 3.6.1.3 is MODES 1, 2 and 3.
This change is considered more restrictive since the containment will be required to be Operable at all times in MODE 2 even prior to any plant startup when reactor coolant temperature may be below 2120F.
In addition, a new Applicability is added to the current requirements.
ITS 3.6.1.3 Applicability, includes the condition for when associated instrumentation is required to be OPERABLE per LCO 3.3.6.1.
Since, in MODES 4 and 5. the probability and consequences of events which require primary containment isolation are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES, most PCIVs are not required to be OPERABLE.
Only those PCIVs which isolate to prevent reactor vessel draindown are required in MODES 4 and 5.
Therefore, this change adds a MODES 4 and 5 requirement for RHR Shutdown Cooling System isolation valves.
In addition, ITS 3.6.1.3 ACTION G has been added for when Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A or B Revision E Page 4 of 14 JAFNPP
-d
-I DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS: 3.6.1.3 - PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES (PCIVS)
TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M1 (continued)
-cannot be met for PCIVs required to be OPERABLE during MODES 4 and 5.
This change places the plant in a condition in which the LCO does not apply.
In this case, suspension of operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel (OPDRVs) is required to minimize the probability of a vessel draindown and subsequent potential fission product release.
Suspending an OPDRV may result in closing the RHR SDC isolation valves.
Therefore, an alternative Required Action is provided to immediately initiate action to restore the valve(s) to OPERABLE status.
This allows RHR to remain in service while ACTIONS are being taken to restore the valve.
These added requirements are necessary to ensure that PCIVs are OPERABLE during events when the primary containment penetrations may need to be isolated in MODES 4 and 5.
These changes are consistent with NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
M2 CTS 4.7.D.l.b Surveillance Requirement, to test for proper operation of the instrument line EFCVs, is being supplemented.
ITS SR 3.6.1.3.8 04 specifies acceptance criteria that the EFCV actuate to the isolate position on a simulated instrument line break.
The addition of acceptance criteria to a Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement, imposes additional operational requirements, and constitutes a more restrictive change.
This change is not considered to result in any reduction to safety.
M3 CTS 4.7.D.l.d Surveillance Requirement. to fast close each MSIV. one at a time, and verify closure time, is being supplemented.
Proposed ITS SR 3.6.1.3.6 specifies MSIV isolation time is m 3 seconds and s 5 seconds.
This change is acceptable since the isolation time test ensures that the MSIV will isolate in a time period that does not exceed the times assumed in the DBA and transient analysis.
The addition of acceptance criteria to a Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement, imposes additional operational requirements, and constitutes a more restrictive change.
This change is not considered to result in any reduction to safety.
M4 The CTS 4.7.D Surveillance Requirements and requirements in CTS 1.O.M.1 and 1.O.M.4 are being supplemented.
ITS 3.6.1.3 is adding the following four Surveillance Requirements:
l3 0
SR 3.6.1.3.2. verify (each 31 days) each PCIV manual isolation valve, or blind flange that is located outside of primary containment and not locked, sealed or otherwise secured and is required to be closed during accident conditions is closed.

TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M4 (continued)
-0 SR 3.6.1.3.3, verify (prior to entering MODE 2 or 3 from MODE 4 if primary containment was de-inerted while in MODE 4, if not performed within the previous 92 days) each PCIV manual isolation valve, or blind flange that is located inside of primary containment and not locked, sealed or otherwise secured and is required to be closed during accident conditions is closed.
SR 3.6.1.3.4, verify (each 31 days) continuity of the traversing incore probe (TIP) shear isolation valve explosive charge.
SR 3.6.1.3.9. remove and test (each 24 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS) the explosive squib from each shear isolation valve of the Tip System.
These SRs provide the means of ensuring the PCIVs are OPERABLE and able to perform their safety function which is to provide primary containment isolation.
The addition of new Surveillance Requirements, imposes additional operational requirements, and constitutes a more restrictive change.
This change is not considered to result in any reduction to safety.
M5 CTS 3.7.D.3 (CTS 3.7.A.8) requirement, that the reactor to be in the cold condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> if the requirements of CTS 3.7.D.1 or 3.7.D.2 (CTS 3.7.A.1 through 3.7.A.5) associated with inoperable PCIVs cannot be met, is being changed.
Allowances have been added to the current requirements to allow additional time to restore inoperable PCIVs, however these changes are addressed in Li. L3, L4, L9, and L10.
ITS 3.6.1.3 Required Action F.1 requires the plant to be in MODE 3 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if the Required Action and associated Completion Times for Condition A, B, C, D, or E are not met in MODE 1. 2, or 3.
In addition, ITS 3.6.1.3 Required Action F.2 places the plant in MODE 4 in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> (L7).
The allowed Completion Time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant condition from full power conditions in an orderly manner without challenging plant systems and is consistent with the requirements of NUREG-1433. Revision 1.
Since, this change imposes additional operational and time requirements it is considered to be more restrictive.
This change is not considered to result in any reduction to safety.

TECHNICAL CHANGES - MORE RESTRICTIVE M7 CTS 4.7.B.4 requirement, that 27MOV-120 (12 inch, full-flow valve) be verified closed when containment integrity is established, and then once
-per month, is being revised.
ITS SR 3.6.1.3.1. requires verification that each 20 and 24 inch primary containment purge and vent valve is closed every 31 days.
Since the purge and vent valves are the actual primary containment isolation valves (PCIVs) associated with these penetrations, this change is appropriate.
Since CTS 3.7.B.4 allows inerting and de-inerting operations only with valve 27MOV-121 (6 inch, low flow valve) it is understood that the primary containment purge and vent valves must be opened for these operations.
Therefore, a Note has been added to proposed SR 3.6.1.3.1 which allows these operations to occur as long as the full-flow line (27MOV-120) is closed for protection of the SGT filter trains from over pressure concerns.
This change is considered more restrictive since the primary containment vent and purge valves are required to be closed when these operations are not underway.
This is consistent with current practice and in accordance with the UFSAR safety analyses.
This assures that the requirements of the LOCA are met and ensures these valves are opened for a valid reason.
This change is not considered to result in any reduction to safety.

concerning automatic containment isolation valves (a de activated valve in the isolated position ensures containment integrity) is being relocated to the Bases.
The details for valve OPERABILITY are not necessary to ensure the Primary Containment Isolation Valves are OPERABLE.
The requirements of ITS 3.6.1.3 which require the PCIVs to be OPERABLE and the definition of OPERABILITY suffice.
ITS LCO 3.6.1.3 Bases clearly states that an automatic isolation valve is OPERABLE if de-activated and secured in the closed position.
As such, these details are not required to be in the ITS to provide adequate protection of public health and safety.
Changes to the Bases will be controlled by the provisions of the Bases Control Program described in Chapter 5 of the ITS.

The requirements of ITS 3.6.1.3 are adequate to ensure the PCIVs are maintained OPERABLE.

TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
Li CTS 4.7.D.1.a and CTS Table 4.2-1 Note 7, for actuation testing of PCIVs, stipulates a simulated automatic actuation test shall be performed.
ITS SR 3.6.1.3.7 allows for use of an actual isolation signal, in addition to the simulated automatic initiation signal, for verifying that each PCIV actuates on an automatic initiation signal.
This allows satisfactory actual automatic system initiations to be used to fulfill the Surveillance Requirements.
Operability is adequately demonstrated in either case since the PCIVs cannot discriminate between Page 8 of 14 Revision E JAFNPP

This change, to allow the use of actual automatic initiation signals, provides increased latitude for operations to complete the Surveillance Requirement and is therefore considered to be less restrictive.
L2 Not Used.
L3 CTS 3.7.D does not provide specific ACTIONS for those penetrations with two inoperable PCIVs unless the penetration is closed and no operable valves are required (CTS 3.7.D.2).
ITS 3.6.1.3 ACTION B, to isolate the affected penetration flow path within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> when one or more penetration flow paths exist with two PCIVs inoperable, for reasons other than Conditions D and E, is being added.
Currently entry into CTJ 3.7.D.3 is required and the plant must be in cold condition in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
The additional 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> allowed to isolate the affected penetration flow path provides a period of time to correct the problem commensurate with the importance of maintaining primary containment OPERABILITY during MODES 1, 2, and 3.
Additionally, the one hour period ensures that the probability of an accident (requiring primary containment OPERABILITY) occurring during periods where primary containment is inoperable is minimized.
This change, to allow 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to isolate the affected penetration, provides relief for the current operational requirements to commence a plant shutdown, and therefore, is considered to be less restrictive.
L4 CTS 3.7.D does not provide specific ACTIONS for those penetration flow paths with one PCIV.
Currently entry into CTS 3.7.D.3 is required and the plant must be in cold condition in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
ITS 3.6.1.3 ACTION C requires the affected penetration flow path to be isolated, within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time is acceptable since the associated penetrations are part of a closed system which will act as a barrier.
During the allowed time, a limiting event would still be assumed to be within the bounds of the safety analysis.
Allowing this extended time potentially avoiding a plant transient caused by the immediate forced shutdown, is reasonable based on the low probability of an event, and does not represent a significant decrease in safety.
In addition, to ensure the affected penetration are isolated on a periodic basis, Required Action C.2 has been added.
Required Action C.2 will require the verification that each affected penetration flow path is isolated once per 31 days.
The 31 day Frequency is acceptable since the devices are operated under administrative controls and the probability of misalignment is low.

For penetrations with two PCIVs, proposed Required Action A.1 allows 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> for main steam line penetrations and 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for other penetrations.
During the allowed time, the limiting event would still be assumed to be within the bounds of the safety analysis since a second valve is available for isolation or in the case of EFCV penetrations. no credit is taken for isolation since the installed orifice will limit the leakage to within limits.
This change is acceptable since the 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Completion Time for MSIVs allows time to repair or reduce power to isolate the affected penetration.
Allowing this additional time potentially avoids a plant transient caused by a reduction in power to close the MSIVs.
L6 A new method of isolating penetrations is proposed to be added to CTS 3.7.D.2.c when one or more penetration flow paths with one PCIV is inoperable (except for when MSIV or hydrostatically tested valve leakage is not within limits).
ITS 3.6.1.3 Required Action A.1 allows the penetration to be isolated by a check valve with flow through the valve secured.
This is acceptable for penetrations with only one PCIV inoperable because the other PCIV remains Operable, the likelihood of an event occurring in which a containment isolation is required is remote.
the penetration is isolated by a check valve, and the remaining Operable PCIV not being able to also isolate the penetration is remote.
This description has also been added to the Bases to describe a passive PCIV.

Allowances have been added to the current requirements to allow additional time to restore inoperable PCIVs, however these changes are addressed in L, 1.3, L4, L9, and L10. Proposed ITS 3.6.1.3 Required Action F.2 allows the plant 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> to reach COLD SHUTDOWN (MODE 4) if the Required Action and Completion Time of Condition A, B.

This change is less restrictive because it extends the time for the plant to be in MODE 4 from 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to 36.
The allowed Completion Times in Required Actions F.1 and F.2 are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
The consequences of an accident are not significantly increased because ITS 3.6.1.3, Required Action F.1 will require the plant be placed in MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> once the determination is made that the Required Action or Completion Time associated with the PCIVs cannot be satisfied.
This change reduces the time the reactor would be allowed to continue to operate once the condition is identified.
The consequences of a LOCA are significantly mitigated when the reactor is shutdown and a controlled cooldown is already in progress.
This change is consistent with NUREG-1433, Revision 1.
L8 The periodic verification that a penetration is isolated to comply with CTS 4.7.D.2 (proposed LCO 3.6.1.3 Required Actions A.2 and C.2) is proposed to be changed from a daily recording requirement to a monthly verification or a verification Prior to entering MODE 2 or 3 from MODE 4, if primary containment was de-inerted while in MODE 4, if not performed within the previous 92 days, for isolation devices inside primary containment.
These valves are under administrative controls and are operated in strict accordance with plant procedures.
To verify that these valves are still isolated on a daily basis places an undue burden on plant operations with little if any gain in safety, since these valves are rarely found in the unisolated condition, once closed.
L9 CTS 3.7.0.2 does not provide specific ACTIONS for those penetration flow paths with leakage limits of one or more MSIVs exceeded.
As a result, entry into CTS 3.7.A.8 is required and the plant must be in cold condition in 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
ITS 3.6.1.3 ACTION D, establishes the Condition for one or more penetration flow paths with one or more MSIVs not within leakage rate limits.
Associated ITS 3.6.1.3 Required Action D.1.

The Completion Time is consistent with the time provided in Required Action A.1 for other inoperabilities associated with the MSIVs (BS).
The additional 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> allowed to restore leakage within the limit provides a period of time to correct the problem commensurate with the importance of maintaining primary containment Operability during MODES 1. 2, and 3.
The 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is reasonable considering the time required to restore the leakage by Page 11 of 14 Revision E JAFNPP

-isolating the penetration, the fact that MSIV closure will result in isolation of the main steam line(s) and a potential for plant shutdown, and the relative importance of leakage to the overall containment function.
This change is acceptable since the closure of one MSIV in each penetration flow path will ensure the consequences of a design basis accident will be bounded by the USFAR analysis.
LIO A new ACTION has been added to CTS 3.7.A.2 (ITS 3.6.1.3 ACTION E) which will allow 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to restore leakage rate to within limit for one or more air operated testable check valves associated with the Low Pressure Coolant Injection and Core Spray Systems injection penetrations.
The additional 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to restore leakage within the limit provides a period of time to correct the problem commensurate with the importance of maintaining primary containment Operability in MODES 1, 2 and 3.
The associated penetrations are normally isolated during plant operations by a motor operated PCIV.
In addition, there is an additional motor operated valve (which is hydrostatically leak tested under the IST program) available to isolate the penetration.
Therefore, excessive leakage will be minimized by this closed motor operated PCIV and therefore ALARA concerns in the reactor building will be minimized.
In the event of a pipe rupture outside of containment gross leakage is limited by the air operated testable check valve inside containment,.
however if it is inoperable the motor operated PCIV will also minimize V
the leakage.
The reactor building includes radiation monitors which will provide audible and visual alarms to the control room.
The Keep Full low level alarms and the reactor building floor drain sump high level alarms are available to indicate excessive primary coolant leakage.
Therefore, since isolation methods exists to limit the leakage and since the plant is instrumented with diverse methods to detect leaks within the reactor building this 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> allowance is acceptable.

ITS 3.6.1.3 Required Actions A.2 and C.2 include two Notes. Note 1 allows isolation devices in high radiation areas to be verified by use of administrative means.
This allowance is considered acceptable since access to these areas is typically restricted, and therefore the probability of misalignment once they have been verified to be in the proper position is low and the allowance is also consistent k

Note 2 allows isolation devices that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured to be verifiecd by administrative means.
This allowance is considered acceptable since the function of locking, sealing, or securing components is to ensure that these devices are not inadvertantly mispositioned.
These changes provide plant operations additional latitude in verifying isolation device position, and therefore, are considered to be less restrictive.
L12 The specific valve numbers of the Low Pressure Coolant Injection and Core Spray System in CST 4.7.A.2.c are proposed to be deleted.
It is unnecessary for the Technical Specifications to prescribe component identification numbers since these details are not necessary to ensure the associated leakage limits are met.
ITS SR 3.6.1.3.11 which requires the verification that the leakage rate of each air operated testable check valve associated with the Low Pressure Coolant Injection and Core Spray System vessel injection penetrations is < 10 gpm at 1035 psig when hydrostatically tested.or 11 scfm when pneumatically tested is sufficient ensure the appropriate testing is performed.
L13 The CTS 4.7.D.2.c requirement to demonstrate the leakage rate of the Low M
Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) System and Core Spray System injection penetration air operated testable check valves is within limits once per 24 months is proposed to be relaxed.
ITS SR 3.6.1.3.11 Frequency of leakage rate testing of the valves is proposed to be changed to "In Accordance with the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.*
These air operated testable check valves have been subjected to 10 CFR 50, Appendix 3, Type C testing (using the alternate test methods and acceptance criteria stated in CTS 4.7.D.2.c) since approval of CTS Amendment 40 on November 9, 1978.
Under the Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program valves subjected to Type C testing are tested once every 30 months (and the 30 month test interval may be extended to 60 months with satisfactory test performance). The operating experience gained by more than 20 years of testing, as required by CTS 4.7.D.2.c and under the Inservice Test (IST) Program requirements, has demonstrated reliable operation, leak tightness. and structural integrity of the valves. The associated penetrations are normally isolated during plant operations by motor operated PCIVs.
In addition.
there is an additional motor operated valve (which is hydrostatically leak tested under the IST program) available to isolate each Page 13 of 14 Revision E JAFNPP

DISCUSSION OF CHANGES
--ITS: 3.6.1.3 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES (PCIVs)
TECHNICAL CHANGES - LESS RESTRICTIVE (SPECIFIC)
L13 (continued) penetration.
Excessive leakage in an air operated testable check valve would be detected during testing of the normally closed PCIV as required by the IST Program and significant leakage to the Secondary Containment (reactor building) would result in actuation of radiation monitors which will provide audible and visual alarms to the control room.
- Further, reactor building floor drain sump high level alarms are available to indicate excessive reactor coolant leakage.
The small increase in the test interval (6 months, until test results indicate additional relaxation is acceptable), testing over a long time period that has demonstrated reliability, other isolation methods that exist to limit potential leakage, and diverse instrumentation methods to detect potential leaks within the reactor building, make the proposed relaxation of the test Frequency acceptable.
