The BVPS ITS conversion LAR was originally submitted by FENOC letter L-05-027 dated February 25, 2005.The purpose of this letter is to update the BVPS ITS conversion documentation contained in LAR Nos. 296 and 169 (ITS conversion) with revised pages to reflect the partial withdrawal of BSI-26. BSI-26 modified the Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System Technical Specification Actions for inoperable AFW train(s).
The revised ITS conversion pages contained in Attachment 1 address the Staff concerns regarding the Actions for three inoperable AFW trains and are the result of previous discussions with the Staff in August 2006. As the requested changes result in the deletion of text, Attachment 1 also contains notes describing the changes to the affected pages in more detail.The information provided with this submittal does not change the evaluations or conclusions of the No Significant Hazards Consideration provided with the ITS conversion LAR. No new regulatory commitments are contained in this submittal.
If there are any questions or if additional information is required, please contact Mr. Gregory A. Dunn, Manager, FENOC Fleet Licensing, at (330) 315-7243.

ATTACHMENT 1 BVPS UNITS 1 & 2 ITS CONVERSION LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST (LAR)Nos. 296 (UNIT 1) & 169 (UNIT 2)PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF 881-26 CHANGE NOTES (Page numbers referenced are from bottom right hand corner of page)1. Page 17 is a page from NUREG-1431 (the standard Technical Specifications (TS) for Westinghouse plants) marked-up to show changes proposed by Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS). On Page 17 Action Condition D was modified to delete an insert of a proposed new condition (for 3 inoperable AFW trains) and a note which made the proposed condition for 3 inoperable Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Trains only applicable when the turbine-driven AFW train was inoperable solely due to one inoperable steam supply line. The deletion of the proposed condition for 3 inoperable AFW Trains and modifying note from Action Condition D eliminates the action to place the affected unit in Mode 4 relying on the turbine-driven AFW pump with a single operable steam supply. In addition, the deletion of the proposed new condition for 3 inoperable AFW trains results in the Actions of the AFW Improved Technical Specification (ITS) being more consistent with the current BVPS TS.2. Page 20 contains inserts for the proposed BVPS AFW ITS. On page 20, Insert 2 (intended for AFW Action Condition E on page 17) is revised to delete a proposed note that modified Action Condition E. The proposed note modified the standard Action Condition for 3 inoperable AFW Trains such that the condition was only applicable when the turbine-driven AFW train was inoperable for reasons other than one inoperable steam supply line. The deletion of the proposed note from Action Condition E results in the condition for 3 inoperable AFW Trains being applicable when the turbine-driven AFW Train is inoperable for any reason. Action Condition E requires the affected unit to restore one train of AFW to operable status prior to taking any action to place the unit in Mode 4. In addition, the deletion of the proposed note modifying Action Condition E results in the Actions of the proposed BVPS AFW ITS being more consistent with the current BVPS TS.3. The AFW ITS Bases pages 106 and 107 are modified to delete the inserted text describing the proposed Action Condition for 3 inoperable AFW Trains and associated notes described in Items 1 and 2 above.4. The current BVPS TS page 223 and associated insert page 225 were revised to show the deletion of the proposed AFW Action Condition and associated notes described in Items 1 and 2 above. This includes the deletion of Inserts 3 and 4 on page 225.5. Pages 274 and 275 contain discussions of changes (DOCs) for the changes made to the current BVPS AFW TS. These pages were revised to delete DOC M.1 which discussed the proposed changes (Items I and 2 above) that were deleted from the BVPS ITS conversion documentation.

===3.7 Plant===
Systems Enclosure 3 Changes to CTS time for restoration of the turbine-driven pump in Mode 3 prior to requiring the plant to be placed in Mode 4. Therefore, the CTS Action c cumulative time is considered to be a total of 162 hours (72+90) from entry into CTS Action c until entry into Mode 4 is required.
The corresponding ITS 3.7.5 Condition A allows 7 days (168 hours)restoration time and ITS Condition D allows an additional 18 hours to transition from Mode 3 to Mode 4 whenever the turbine driven AFW pump is inoperable in Mode 3 prior to entering Mode 2 following a refueling outage. As such, the ITS cumulative time from entry into Condition A until entry into Mode 4 is required (by Condition D)is a total of 186 hours (168+18).
Therefore, the ITS provides an additional 24 hours (186-162) beyond the time allowed in the CTS. The CTS has been revised to incorporate and extend the 90 hours provided in footnote (2) for restoring an inoperable turbine-driven AFW pump by an additional 24 hours for a total of 114 hours (90+24).The actual format and presentation of the allowed Completion times is also revised to be consistent with the ISTS. This results in the Completion Times being included in ITS 3.7.5 Condition A (for the 7 day restoration time) and ITS Condition D (for the 18 hours to place the plant in Mode 4). This DOC is only intended to address the fact that the CTS time is being extended.
The format changes associated with adopting the presentation of ISTS Action Conditions for these times are addressed by DOC A.1. This change is being made so the BVPS ITS is consistent with the corresponding requirements of the ISTS.The purpose of CTS 3.7.1.2 Action c and Footnote (2) is to provide additional time to complete any necessary repairs and testing of the turbine driven AFW pump prior to initiating a plant cool down to Mode 4. Corresponding ITS 3.7.5, Condition A, provides additional time for repairs and testing prior to requiring entry into Mode 4 and presents the allowed time in a substantially different format than the CTS.The additional time provided by the ISTS reduces the number of unnecessary MODE changes and requests for enforcement discretion by providing added flexibility in Mode 3 to repair and test the turbine driven AFW pump following a refueling outage. This change is acceptable based upon the redundant capabilities afforded by the AFW system, the time needed to perform repairs and testing of the turbine driven pump, the reduced decay heat load following a refueling outage, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period that would require the operation of the turbine driven pump. This change is designated as less restrictive because additional time is allowed in the ITS to restore equipment to within the LCO limits prior to exiting the Mode of Applicability than was allowed in the CTS.More Restrictive Changes (M)M.1 Not used.BVPS Units 1 & 2 Page 6 Revision 0 2/05 274 I Rev. 4, Change 2 BVPS ISTS Conversion
 
===3.7 Plant===
Systems Enclosure 3 Changes to CTS M.2 CTS surveillance 4.7.1.2.7 is revised by CTS Note 7 that states: "This surveillance is required to be performed prior to entry into MODE 2 whenever the plant has been in MODES 5 or 6 for greater than 30 continuous days." The corresponding ISTS surveillance contains a similar frequency for performance with the exception that the ISTS specifies that the surveillance is applicable after the plant has been in a"defueled" condition as well as in Modes 5 and 6. The CTS is revised to conform to the ISTS. This changes the CTS by expanding the operating conditions for which the cumulative time is tracked by CTS surveillance 4.7.1.2.7.
As such, the proposed change requires the time spent in a defueled condition be accounted for as well as the time spent in Modes 5 and 6 for determining when surveillance 4.7.1.2.7 must be performed.
The purpose of CTS surveillance 4.7.1.2.7 (and the corresponding ISTS surveillance) is to verify the normal AFW flow Path to the steam generators.
Both the ISTS and CTS surveillances require this surveillance to be performed based on how long the plant has been outside the applicable Modes for the AFW (i.e., in a condition where AFW was not required operable and may have been misaligned from its normal standby condition).
However, the ISTS surveillance includes the time spent in a defueled condition as well as in Modes 5 and 6. The proposed change is acceptable because it continues to assure the required surveillance is BVPS Units 1 & 2 Page 7 Revision 0 2/05 275}}
