NPF-63 REQUEST FOR LICENSE AMENDMENT MOTOR OPERATED VALVES THERMAL OVERLOAD BYPASS FUNCTION BA I FOR HAN ERE T B~ack round Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.8.4.2, which provides operability and surveillance requirements for Motor Operated Valves (MOV) Thermal Overload Protection, utilizes the term "motor startex" when describing the thermal overload bypass function. At the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP), this function is performed by relays that are separate and independent from the individual MOV motor starters and their associated circuitry. Due to this electrical supply configuration, the term motor starter is inappropriately applied and creates the possibility for confusion when determining post-maintenance requirements for MOV motor starters and the relays that actually perform the bypass function. | |||
Pr han e The proposed amendment revises TS Requirement 3/4.8.4.2, by replacing the term "motor starter" with a more accurate description of the electrical configuration used at SHNPP i.e., | |||
"thermal overload bypass relays and circuitry." | |||
B~asi As stated above, the terminology used in TS 3/4.8.4.2 is not consistent with the MOV electrical supply configuration utilized at SHNPP and creates the potential for confusion related to post-maintenance testing. The need for clarification of this terminology was revealed during resolution of a recently generated CP&L event report. Efforts to resolve this report included a review of applicable control wire diagrams which verified that, at SHNPP, a separate motor control center cubicle (one for each of the MOV supply safety related busses) is used to house control relays that bypass the thermal overload protection devices and that these relays are completely separate from the MOV motor starters. Since this change is administrative in nature, there willbe no increase in the probability or consequences of any Final Safety Analysis Repoxt (FSAR) accident scenario previously evaluated. As there are no FSAR or Technical Specification parameters affected, there will be no reduction in any margin of safety. | |||
Additionally, because the proposed change does not involve any modifications or additions to plant equipment ox changes in plant operation, there will be no increase in the possibility of a new or different land of accident from any accident previously evaluated. | |||

The bases for this determination are as follows: | |||
The proposed amendment revises Technical Specification 3/4.8.4.2, by replacing the term "motor starter" with a more accurate description of the electrical configuration used at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP) i.e., "thermal overload bypass relays and circuitry". | |||

Therefore, the change in terminology would not increase the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. | |||
: 2. The proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. | |||
The proposed change does not involve any modifications or additions to plant equipment and the design and operation of the plant will not be affected.
