== Description:==
 
Event  Classification:        A  condition that resulted in the plant being in an unanalyzed condition.
A  condition that resulted in the plant being in    a condition not covered by the plant's operating procedures.
APS  has recently completed a Technology Transfer Program with the fuel vendor to allow increased involvement in the reload analysis process. As a result, on March 18, 1994, while performing the reload analysis for Unit 3, Cycle 5 and reviewing associated Operating Procedures, APS Engineering personnel (utility, nonlicensed) identified that Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) 3.1.1.1, 3.3.1, and 3.9.1 may not ensure that plant operation is maintained within the assumptions used in the'current safety analysis as required by 10CFR50.36.
On  April 22,  1994, APS Engineering personnel        completed an      initial investigation of TSs 3,.1.1.1, 3.3.1, and 3.9.1 Basis, associated safety analysis, and in-place administrative controls. This investigation determined that these TSs did not correctly reflect the current reload analysis and that administrative controls may not have been effective in maintaining Plant operations within safety analysis assumptions. At approximately 1354 MST, PVNGS informed the USNRC Operations Center of the potential condition.
TSs  3.1.1.1, 3.3.1,  and  Subcritical      CEA  Withdrawal Analysis TS  3.1.1.1 requires a 1 percent shutdown margin in Modes 3, 4,                  and 5  with all Control Element Assemblies (CEA)(RCT) inserted.
However, the operating procedures and current safety analysis

TS  3.3.1 requires the Core Protection Calculators (CPC) to be operable in Modes  1 and 2. However, the operating procedures and current safety analysis require that the CPC Bypass be functional during any subcritical operation (Modes 3, 4, and 5) with the trip breakers closed.
                "When the discrepancy between TS and the Safety Analysis was identified, the Subcritical CEA Bank Withdrawal Safety Analysis assumed protection was provided by the High Log Power Trip (HLPT) at 1.0 E-2 percent power (except in cases where less than four Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP)(RCT)(P) are running). When less than four RCPs are running, the analysis assumed protection was provided by the automatic removal of the CPC Bypass at 1.0 E-4 percent power prior to reaching the  HLPT  setpoint.
In June 1991, ABB-Combustion Engineering (ABB-CE) informed APS of an  error in the source term used in the Subcritical CEA Bank Withdrawal Safety Analysis. Based on plant procedures, ABB-CE determined that there was no immediate safety concern since the RCS boron concentration would be maintained at or above HFP ARO EXBC.
This boron concentration would prevent criticality on any CEA bank withdrawal with all other CEAs completely inserted. ABB-CE'lso stated that either the boron restriction or operation of the CPCs was sufficient to correct for the source term error.            Based on this statement, APS changed the Operating Procedures to require the boron restriction or operable CPCs. However, the need for the CPCs to be operable during Modes 3, 4, and 5 with < 4 RCPs running was not addressed in the TS.
In 1992, the reload groundrule concerning subcritical CEA withdrawal was changed such that the required RCS boron concentration was assumed to prevent criticality on a CEA Shutdown Bank withdrawal. The HLPT was assumed to protect against a CEA Regulating Bank withdrawal condition. The CPCs continued to generate a trip in any condition above 1.0 E-4 percent power where
                  < 4 RCPs are running (see Section V, Additional Information for a definition/explanation of groundrule). At this point, the

In February 1994, Nuclear Fuel Management (NFM) identified that the subject groundrule required both the boron restriction and operable CPCs  to cover the analysis assumptions.        Corrected Operating Procedures became  effective    on March 4, 1994.
TS  3.9.1 and Mode 6 Boron    Dilution Analysis TS  3.9.1 requires either a K-effective of </ 0.95 or a boron concentration of >/- 2150 ppm, whichever is more restrictive, when in Mode 6. The Mode 6 boron dilution analysis (prior to Unit 3 Cycle 5) assumed an initial boron concentration of 4000 ppm.
ABB-CE performed previous boron dilution analysis using the Refueling Water Tank (RWT) limits of > 4000 ppm and ( 4400 ppm as specified in TS 3.1.2.5. This analysis assumed that when the refueling cavity was flooded, the RWT would be the source of make-up. APS Engineering personnel performing the reload analysis for Unit 3 determined that procedures do not limit the source of make-up to the RWT.
The  Unit 3 Boron Dilution Analysis for Mode 6 was analyzed prior to entry into Mode 6 using an initial boron concentration set at the calculated refueling boron concentration. This boron concentration is more restrictive than a 0.95 K-effective and complies with TS 3.9.1. The analysis verified that the Source Range Monitoring (SRM) Setpoint Ratio of 2.2 remained val'id. The COLR Table 5 "Required Monitoring Frequencies for Backup Boron Dilution Detection as a Function of Operating Charging Pumps" for Mode                  6 required revision.
Reanalysis for the current Unit 1 Core 5 and Unit 2 Core 5 were performed. This verified that the Mode 6 SRM Setpoint ratio of 2.2 remained valid, but COLR Table 5 required changes.            The required monitoring frequencies for backup boron dilution detection in Table 5 of the COLR, for Units 1, 2, and 3 were revised.

TS Table 4.3-1 requires adjustments to linear power level, CPC Delta T Power and CPC nuclear power signals          if  they differ from the calorimetric by an absolute difference of > 2 percent. The ABB-CE letter that transmitted the final CPC/CEAC addressable constants for Unit 3 Cycle 5 requires the calibration tolerance to -be administratively restricted below 30 percent power.
This restriction is based on implementation of the interim approach to the CPC power calibration that was first identified by ABB-CE in 1988. Currently the difference between CPC neutron power, CPC Delta T Power, and COLSS primary calorimetric power is between the range of -0.5 percent to +2.0 percent.          These requirements are currently administratively controlled.

Not applicable - no failures that rendered a          train of      a safety system inoperable were involved.
H. Method    of discovery of each component or system failure or procedural error:
As  discussed in Section I.B, the discrepancies between TS and the current safety analysis were identified as part of the Unit 3 Core 5 Reload Analysis and during a review of an Operating Procedures.
I. Cause    of event:
In previous reload analysis, the nuclear fuel reload groundrules have been treated as an adjunct to the TS.          When groundrules were more  restrictive  than the current TS, Administrative Controls were used to implement the groundrule restrictions and allow operation of the Plant. The limits defined in the TS were not always revised to reflect the reload analysis        if  the Administrative Controls were more restrictive. Because of this, analysis assumptions in the groundrules were not completely consistent with the TS.
Secondly, NFM depends upon the cross discipline review of the groundrules to target Operating Procedure changes. These cross discipline reviews did not always identify the impacts that the groundrule changes had on Operating Procedures.            This is likely related to the complexity of the analyses (SALP Cause Code A:
Personnel Error).
An  investigation of this event is continuing to be conducted in accordance with the APS Incident Investigation Program. As part of the investigation, a determination of the cause(s) will continue.
If  the evaluation results differ from the determinations already identified in this LER, a supplement to this report will be submitted.

II. ASSESSMENT OF THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES AND IMPLICATIONS OF THIS EVENT:
              ~ TS  3.1.1.1  and  3.3.1    Control Element Assembly    (CEA)  Withdrawal from Subcritical Conditions The RCS boron    concentration  was  to be  administratively controlled at such  a  level that the  shutdown margin requirement would be met and a subcritical CEA withdrawal would not result in criticality.
Even though the administrative control was incorrect, allowing use of the  CPCs  rather than maintaining the boron restriction, the CPC Bypass removal    at 1.0 E-4 percent power would provide a trip for subcritical CEA withdrawal with < 4 RCPs operating. There have been no rod withdrawal events during the time the Administrative Controls were incomplete.
            ~ TS  3.9.1    -    Mode 6 Boron  Dilution The Boron Dilution analysis for Mode 6 was recalculated using the minimum boron concentration required by TS 3.9.1 for each Unit.
When this was done,      it was determined that the Mode 6 Source Range Monitoring    (SRM)  setpoint ratio of 2.2 remained valid for            all    three Units.
            ~ TS  Table 4.3-1    - CPC Power  Calculations The more    restrictive requirements for adjustments to linear power level, CPC Delta T power, and CPC neutron power have been administratively controlled since they were first identified by ABB-CE in 1988 and at no time have the safety analysis results been compromised.

A supplement to th'is LER will be submitted providing this determination based on actual plant operations.
III. CORRECTIVE ACTION:
A. Immediate:
TS  3.1.1.1  and 3.3.1 Operating Procedures became effective on March 4, 1994, which required HFP ARO EXBC and operable CPCs during subcritical operations when the CEAs are capable of being withdrawn.
A TS change    request is being prepared which will define shutdown margin requirements based on CEA Trip Breaker position rather than CEA position.      To eliminate the need for the CPC Bypass in Modes 3, 4, and 5, the TS change will lower the HLPT setpoint to match the removal of the CPC Bypass setpoint. A reference to the minimum boron requirement will also be incorporated into the COLR. These changes are expected to be submitted to the NRC by August 31, 1994.
TS  3.9.1 The assumption    of  4000 ppm for the initial boron concentration in the Mode    6  Boron  Dilution analysis has been changed to the boron concentration required to comply with TS 3.9.1 and the Boron Dilution Analysis for Mode 6 was reanalyzed.
Table  5  of the  COLRs,  Frequencies      for Backup Boron    Dilution Detection    as a Function of Operating Charging Pumps for Mode 6, has been changed to explicitly include conditions when boron concentrations are < 4000 ppm.

Action to Prevent Recurrence:
The process for reviewing groundrule changes for impact on Operating Procedures will be reviewed to determine                  if  changes are required to enhance the process. This review is expected to be completed by August 12, 1994.
APS NFM  personnel are continuing to review the issues identified and the reload    analysis process to determine          if    additional corrective actions that may be required. This review is expected to be completed by August 31, 1994.            If information is developed which would affect the safety consequences, root cause, or the reader's understanding or perception of this event, a supplement will be submitted.
An  investigation into the    consequences      and implications of these conditions is continuing to      be  conducted.. A supplement to this LER will be submitted providing, this determination based on actual plant operations. This investigation is expected to be completed by August 31, 1994.
IV. PREVIOUS SIMILAR EVENTS:
There have been no previous    similar events.
V. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Groundrule Definition:
The  groundrule document provides        a  singular reference        and method for communicating detailed assumptions used in the reload analysis that are not captured in other analysis inputs, such as:
Performance Objectives, Technical Specifications, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Code of Federal Regulations, etc.
Groundrule    prior to March 4, 1994 "Subcritical CEA Withdrawal - The Reload Analysis Report (RAR) analysis for subcritical CEA Bank Withdrawal shall assume that Reactor Coolant System (RCS) boron concentration shall be maintained such that K-effective will be less than 1.0 upon withdrawal of shutdown Full Length (FL) CEAs when the trip breakers
