12/4/2009 11:30 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) has incorporated WCAP-14333 and WCAP-Statement 15376 into the ITS submittal. However, the Reviewer's Note is in error. | |||
While the Note states that the words in the Reviewer's Note should replace the bracketed words above the Reviewer's Note if the two WCAPs are incorporated, it should have stated that the words are to be replaced if the two WCAPs are not incorporated. WCAP-15376 changed the test time for the RTBs from 2 hours to 4 hours. WCAP-10271 supports the 2 hour RTB test time. The 4 hour RTB test time allowed by WCAP-15376 was added to the NUREG-1431 (the ISTS) as part of TSTF-411. Furthermore, the ISTS 3.3.1 Bases Actions P.1 and P.2 Reviewer's Note, which provide the description of the action for inoperable RTBs, clearly states that the RTB test time is 4 hours when WCAP-15376 is adopted. Therefore, based on the above, the proposed words referencing a 4 hour RTB test time in ITS 3.3.1 Bases Actions N.1 and N.2 (ISTS 3.3.1 Bases Action O.1 and O.2) are correct. However, it was noted that the JFD referenced for the change should have been 9, not 8. Thus, JFD 9 has been modified to identify the typographical error related to the Reviewer's Note. Furthermore, the first sentence of the ITS 3.3.1 Bases Actions N.1 and N.2 also references that the Action is applicable to the SI Input from ESFAS reactor trip. This is not correct since the SI Input from ESFAS reactor trip Function is not included in the KPS ITS. A draft markup regarding these changes is attached. | |||
These changes will be reflected in the supplement to this section of the ITS conversion amendment. | |||

A successful test of the required contact(s) of a channel relay may be performed by the verification of the change of state of a single contact of the relay. This clarifies what is an acceptable COT of a relay. This is acceptable because all of the other required contacts of the relay are verified by other Technical Specifications and non-Technical Specifications tests at least once per refueling interval with applicable extensions. | |||

The setpoint shall be left set consistent with the assumptions of the current unit specific setpoint methodology. | |||
The "as found" and "as left" values must also be recorded and reviewed 2 | |||
for consistency with the assumptions of Reference 9. | |||
SR 3.3.1.7 is modified by a Note that provides a 4 hours delay in the 6 requirement to perform this Surveillance for source range instrumentation when entering MODE 3 from MODE 2. This Note allows a normal shutdown to proceed without a delay for testing in MODE 2 and for a short time in MODE 3 until the RTBs are open and SR 3.3.1.7 is no longer required to be performed.

This clarifies what is an acceptable TADOT of a relay. This is acceptable because all of the other required contacts of the relay are verified by other Technical Specifications and non-Technical Specifications tests at least once per refueling interval with applicable extensions. | |||
The SR is modified by a Note that excludes verification of setpoints from the TADOT. Since this SR applies to RCP undervoltage and underfrequency relays, setpoint verification requires elaborate bench calibration and is accomplished during the CHANNEL CALIBRATION. | |||
SR 3.3.1.10 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed every [18] months, or 4 approximately at every refueling. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy.

SR 3.3.1.11 INSERT 8 SR 3.3.1.11 is the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION, as described in SR 3.3.1.10, every [18] months. This SR is modified by a 4 Note stating that neutron detectors are excluded from the CHANNEL CALIBRATION. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION for the power range 2 INSERT 8 neutron detectors consists of a normalization of the detectors based on a power calorimetric and flux map performed above 15% RTP. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION for the source range and intermediate range neutron detectors consists of obtaining the detector plateau or preamp discriminator curves, evaluating those curves, and comparing the curves to the manufacturer's data. This Surveillance is not required for the NIS power range detectors for entry into MODE 2 or 1, and is not required for the NIS intermediate range detectors for entry into MODE 2, because the unit must be in at least MODE 2 to perform the test for the intermediate range detectors and MODE 1 for the power range detectors. The | |||
[18] month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance 4 under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed on the [18] month 4 Frequency. | |||
SR 3.3.1.12 SR 3.3.1.12 is the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION, as ¶ INSERT 9 described in SR 3.3.1.10, every [18] months. This SR is modified by a 4 2 Note stating that this test shall include verification of the RCS resistance temperature detector (RTD) bypass loop flow rate. Whenever a sensing element is replaced, the next required CHANNEL CALIBRATION of the resistance temperature detectors (RTD) sensors is accomplished by an inplace cross calibration that compares the other sensing elements with the recently installed sensing element. | |||
This test will verify the rate lag compensation for flow from the core to the RTDs. | |||
The Frequency is justified by the assumption of an 18 month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the setpoint analysis. | |||

12/7/2009 3:40 PM Date/Time Closure Statement Response Westinghouse Technical Bulletin ESBU-TB-92-14 was evaluated by KPS under Statement Operating Experience Assessment (OEA) 96-029. A summary of that evaluation is attached. | |||
In regard to low power gain adjustments, if a calorimetric is performed at < 70% | |||
RTP, the power range neutron high flux setpoint is lowered to less than or equal to 85%. A calorimetric must be performed at a higher power level (typically 75% | |||
RTP) before the power range neutron high flux setpoint can be raised to the normal value of 105%. | |||
Guidance is contained in SP-48-002, Nuclear Power Range Channel Gain Adjustment as follows: | |||
Precaution Step 2.6, When Reactor Power is less than 75% power, NI gain adjustments are NOT required, unless more than 18 hours of operation will occur at this power level. | |||
Procedure Step 6.1, IF Reactor Power is less than 70%, THEN REDUCE NI High Flux Trips to less than or equal to 85% power. | |||
Procedure Step 6.10, IF NI High Flux Trips were reduced to less than or equal to 85% AND NI gain adjustment is verified acceptable, THEN RESET NI High Flux Trips to normal power. | |||

This Westinghouse Technical Bulletin discusses the potential to decalibrate the NIs at low power levels due to errors in the calorimetric. Decalibration of the NIs due to flux shift and low leakage cores was addressed by OBA 93-036 and IR 93-115 (LER 93-014). | |||
Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 of this Tech. Bulletin are already being implemented at Kewaunee. Procedures SP 87-125 and SP 48-002 ensure the NIs are normalized to a calorimetric. Procedures RXT-6 and SPs 48-Q04A,B,C&D ensure the High Power trip is reduced to 80 % following a refueling outage and that the trip setpoint reduction is conservative. Procedure RXT-6 ensures the NIs are renormalized at successively higher power levels (2S, 40, 7S, 90, and 100%).. | |||
KNPP bas chosen to address the concerns covered by Recommendations 4, 5, and 6 differently than descn'bed in the Tech Bulletin. | |||
In Recommendation 4 Westinghouse suggests correcting the NIB by use of a gain adjust anytime they indicate less than the calorimetric. We will typically do this when the difference exceeds 1 % and power is greater than 75%. Jf power is less than 75% due to a backdown or return to power from a plant trip and the plant will remain at that power level less than 18 hours, no adjustment will be made. This is justified because the NlS hAs been previously adjusted for 100% | |||
operation and the plant will be returning to that power level in a relatively short period of time. If an adjustment were to be made, it would likely have to be undone when power is increased. | |||
In Recommendation 5 Westinghouse suggests that when power level is greater than 70% and the NIS indicate higher than the calorimetric, a gain adjust is not necessary. For cases where the plant is in a transient, the plant guidance described in Recommendation 4 is implemented. If the plant is operating at steady state power and the NIS indicates 1 % or greater than the calorimetric~ they will be adjusted. 'This is necessary to account for the changes in leakage due to core bumup. | |||
In Recommendation 6 Westinghouse suggests that when power level is less than 70% power and the NIS indicate higher than the calorimetric, no adjustment should be made. As stated in the previous two recommendations~ if the plant is in a transient state, this guidance is followed. However ~ if the plant will remain at a power level greater than 18 hours, an adjustment must be made to meet Tech Spec requirements.. However, if the plant is maintaining a power level less than 50 % when the adjustment is made, the high power reactor trip setpoint will be reduced to 85%. The setpoint will be changed to its normal value when a more accurate adjustment can be made. Typically at approx. 75% power.. While this change was not made to account for calorimetric error, it does meet the intent of the Westinghouse recommendation.. The difference in power levels (50% for WPS, 70% for Westinghouse) should be addressed. | |||
Kewaunee determines feedwater flow for the calorimetric differently than described in this Tech Bulletin. However, the worst case feedwater flow error possible at 50% power including the 2% NI-calorimetric mismatch driving the adjustment could result in a 13.5% error at 100% power6 An. error of this magnitude would result in KNPP exceeding the Tech Spec value of 109% and the analysis limit of 118%. To ensure analysis limits are met, SP48.. 002 should be revised to require the High Power NI setpoint be reduced if an adjustment is made at a power less than 70%. The maximum feedwater flow error at 70 % coupled with the 2 % NJ.-ca1orimetric error driving the adjustment will only result in a 6% error at 100%. While this may result in the plant exceeding the Tech Spec value of 109%, the analysis setpoint of 118 % will be maintained. | |||
The second document covered by this OEA is a 50,,92 evaluation to change the Tech Spec requirements for NIS adjustment.. Due to the relatively short time KNPP operates at reduced power and the proposed changes to the procedural guidance already in place, a revision to p~t Tech Specs is not justified. | |||
This OBA should be routed to Operations, Reactor Engineering, and I&C Engineering for information. | |||

B 3.3.5 unless otherwise noted BASES BACKGROUND (continued) | |||
The Trip Setpoints used in the relays are based on the analytical limits presented in FSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 2). The selection of these trip setpoints is such that adequate protection is provided when all sensor and processing time delays are taken into account. | |||
Setpoints adjusted consistent with the requirements of the Allowable Value ensure that the consequences of accidents will be acceptable, providing the unit is operated from within the LCOs at the onset of the accident and that the equipment functions as designed. | |||
2 Allowable Values and/or Nominal Trip Setpoints are specified for each Setpoint Function in SR 3.3.5.3. Nominal Trip Setpoints are also specified in the 4 Control unit specific setpoint calculations. The trip setpoints are selected to Program ensure that the setpoint measured by the surveillance procedure does not exceed the Allowable Value if the relay is performing as required. If the measured setpoint does not exceed the Allowable Value, the relay is considered OPERABLE. Operation with a trip setpoint less conservative than the nominal Trip Setpoint, but within the Allowable Value, is acceptable provided that operation and testing is consistent with the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint calculation (Ref. 3). methodology APPLICABLE O The LOP DG start instrumentation is required for the Engineered Safety SAFETY Features (ESF) Systems to function in any accident with a loss of offsite ANALYSES power. Its design basis is that of the ESF Actuation System (ESFAS). | |||
Accident analyses credit the loading of the DG based on the loss of offsite power during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The actual DG start has historically been associated with the ESFAS actuation. The DG loading has been included in the delay time associated with each safety system component requiring DG supplied power following a loss of offsite power. | |||
The analyses assume a non-mechanistic DG loading, which does not explicitly account for each individual component of loss of power detection and subsequent actions. | |||
O The required channels of LOP DG start instrumentation, in conjunction with the ESF systems powered from the DGs, provide unit protection in the event of any of the analyzed accidents discussed in Reference 2, in which a loss of offsite power is assumed. | |||
The delay times assumed in the safety analysis for the ESF equipment include the 10 second DG start delay, and the appropriate sequencing delay, if applicable. The response times for ESFAS actuated equipment in LCO 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) | |||
Instrumentation," include the appropriate DG loading and sequencing delay. | |||

INSTRUMENTATION requirement to perform the surveillance test in accordance with the SCP. Hence, the addition of the phrase "in accordance with the Setpoint Control Program" to ITS SR 3.3.2.4, CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) and ITS SR 3.3.2.6, CHANNEL CALIBRATION in the surveillance requirement table. | |||
: 13. The ISTS contains bracketed information and/or values that are generic to all Westinghouse vintage plants. ISTS Required Actions D, E, and I (ITS Required Actions D, E, and H, respectively) are modified by a Note that provides two options for bypassing a channel for up to 12 hours for the purpose of performing surveillance testing without entry into the applicable Required Actions. One option is for plants that have installed bypass testing capabilities. The other option is for plants that do not have installed bypass testing capabilities. KPS does not have installed bypass testing capabilities. Therefore, the Note for plants that do not have bypass testing capabilities is retained for Required Actions D, E, and H. | |||
: 14. ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.g (Trip of all Main Feedwater Pumps) specifies that ISTS SR 3.3.2.9, a CHANNEL CALIBRATION, is required for the Function. This CHANNEL CALIBRATION requirement is not being included in the KPS ITS for the same Function (ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.e). The ISTS shows that the Function has an ALLOWABLE VALUE and NOMINAL TRIP SETPOINT based on a pressure. The ISTS Bases describes that the trip is derived from low pressure on the control air/oil line of the turbine driven main feedwater pumps. Thus, it is appropriate to perform a CHANNEL CALIBRATION on the sensors. However, KPS uses motor driven main feedwater pumps, and the signal to start the AFW pumps comes from the breaker position contacts. Thus, there is no CHANNEL CALIBRATION to perform. This is also consistent with the KPS CTS, which does not require a CHANNEL CALIBRATION. | |||
: 15. The RTS RESPONSE TIME requirement, ISTS SR 3.3.2.10, has not been adopted into the KPS ITS, consistent with Kewaunee current licensing basis and current Technical Specifications. The Kewaunee USAR describes the implementation of the principles as related to the proposed IEEE-279 "Standard, Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems," August 1968. This industry standard provides guidance and requirements for conducting periodic testing of protection systems. IEEE-279-1968 does not address response time testing. Furthermore, generic studies have shown that instrumentation response time changes (increasing times), that could impact safety, do not normally vary such that they would not be detected during other required surveillances (e.g., CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS). Since the addition of these tests would be a major burden (plant design does not readily lend itself to such testing) with little gain in safety, ISTS SR 3.3.2.10 has not been added. | |||
16 Throughout the ISTS, in both the Specifications and the Bases, reference is made to placing a channel in bypass or bypassing an inoperable channel. KPS does not have the ability to place a channel in bypass or perform a bypass of an inoperable channel without performing a temporary alteration of the circuit. Since the installation of temporary alterations is intrusive, KPS has determined that this practice is unacceptable. Therefore, KPS does not have the ability to place a channel in bypass or perform a bypass of an inoperable channel. As a result, when a channel is required to be placed in bypass or a bypass of a channel is required, the channel is placed in the trip condition. | |||

Enclsoure (5 of 8), Q&A to Attachment 1, Volume 8 (Section 3.3) 35 of 76 JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS ITS 3.3.2, ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURE ACTUATION SYSTEM (ESFAS) | |||
INSTRUMENTATION Therefore, all master and slave relays in ESF that can be safely checked online and do not pose a significant risk to plant reliability are checked during the performance of the Actuation Logic Test (ALT). The remainder of the Master and Slave Relays are checked by actual equipment operation when the plant conditions are such that it does not significantly affect safety and reliability in the plant. KPS currently tests and meets the requirements of Generic Letter 96-01 and the inclusion of specific Master or Slave Relay Testing would be intrusive and/or affect safety and reliability due to the design of KPS. This was acknowledged in the original plant NRC SER (Ref. 1), a letter from WPSC to the NRC dated April 19, 1996 in regard to Generic Letter 96-01 (Ref. 2), and the acceptance letter from the NRC to WPSC dated January 14, 1999 in regard to Generic Letter 96-01 (Ref. | |||
3). KPS testing of the Master and Slave Relays is limited and plant design does not allow for safely and reliably performing separate Master and Slave Relay Testing surveillances. Due to these deletions, the subsequent Surveillance Requirements have been renumbered and reordered, as necessary. | |||
: 6. ISTS 3.3.2 ACTIONS H, K, and L are applicable to ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 5.a, 7.b, 7.c, 8.b, and 8.c. These Functions are not applicable to the design of KPS; therefore, the applicable ACTIONS have been deleted. The discussion for the reason each function is not applicable to KPS is found in other Justification For Deviations. | |||
: 7. ISTS SR 3.3.2.3 requires the performance of an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST every 31 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. ISTS SR 3.3.2.3 also contains a NOTE that the continuity check may be excluded. ISTS SR 3.3.2.3 is applicable only to ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.b, Auxiliary Feedwater Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays. This test is currently not required at KPS. Since the design of the KPS ESFAS actuation logic is such that master and slave relays are employed and not a solid state protection system, ISTS SR 3.3.2.2 (ITS SR 3.3.2.2) is used to check the Auxiliary Feedwater Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays. ISTS SR 3.3.2.2 is the performance of an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST every 92 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. ISTS SR 3.3.2.2 does not contain the NOTE that the continuity check may be excluded. This testing Frequency is considered acceptable and is the same Frequency as relay testing for other ESFAS Functions. In addition, the Note is not needed for ITS SR 3.3.2.2. Subsequent Surveillance Requirements have been renumbered, as necessary. | |||

INSTRUMENTATION Sump), 8.b, (Pressurizer Pressure, P-11), and 8.c, (T avg - Low Low, P-12) have been deleted since they do not apply to the KPS design. In addition, all applicable footnotes related to those Functions are also being deleted. Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable. | |||
: 9. A Note to ISTS SR 3.3.2.9 (ITS SR 3.3.2.6) requires the CHANNEL CALIBRATION to include verification that time constants are adjusted to the prescribed values. In the KPS ITS, this Surveillance (ITS SR 3.3.2.6) applies to ITS Table 3.3.2-1, Functions 1.c, 1.d, 1.e, 2.c, 4.c, 4.d, 4.e, 5.b, 6.b, 6.d, 6.e, and 7.b. Of these Functions, the only one that has a time constant is ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 1.e, and the time constants are included in a Note to the Allowable Value. Thus, the time constant is part of the Allowable Value for this function. The definition of CHANNEL CALIBRATION states that it is the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameter that the channel monitors. Thus the CHANNEL CALIBRATION of this Function requires the time constant be set properly. It is not necessary to include a Note that also says that the CHANNEL CALIBRATION Surveillance includes the time constants; it already does. Including this note in this Surveillance would incorrectly imply that a CHANNEL CALIBRATION does not require certain Allowable Values (i.e., time constant type Allowable Values) to be verified during the CHANNEL CALIBRATION. In addition, the Allowable Values for the KPS ITS will be removed from the ITS and retained in a licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program. Therefore, the Note is not included in the KPS ITS. | |||
: 10. The Nominal Trip Setpoint column has been deleted as allowed by the Reviewer's Note at the end of the ISTS Table 3.3.2-1. This Reviewer's Note allows specific unit implementation to contain only the Allowable Value. The nominal trip setpoints for each of the applicable ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions will be controlled in accordance with the Note in the ISTS 3.3.2 Bases Background section. | |||
: 11. ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 (ITS Table 3.3.2-1) Function 8 (Reactor Trip, P-4 Interlock) has been revised by deleting the term "2 trains." This information is Bases type information and has been included in the ITS Bases. | |||
: 12. Changes are made to the ISTS that reflect the adoption of proposed Revision 4 of TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions". | |||
Three options are provided for licensees to pursue when adopting TSTF-493. KPS has elected to implement TSTF-493 via the use of a Setpoint Control Program. | |||
Under this adoption strategy, KPS relocates the Technical Specification Section 3.3, "Instrumentation," Limiting Trip Setpoints, Nominal Trip Setpoints, and/or Allowable Values from the Technical Specifications to a licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program. The requirements for the Setpoint Control Program will be described in Chapter 5, "Administrative Controls," of the Technical Specifications. Hence the deletion of the "ALLOWABLE VALUE" and "NOMINAL TRIP SETPOINT" columns from Table 3.3.2-1 of the ITS. Included in the relocation to the licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program is all information contained within any associated footnotes that tie to numerical values in the Limiting Trip Setpoints, Nominal Trip Setpoints, and/or Allowable Value columns. | |||
In addition, the adoption strategy requires that each instrument surveillance requirement which verifies a LSSS (both SL and non-SL-LSSSs) contain a Kewaunee Power Station Page 4 of 5 Enclsoure (5 of 8), Q&A to Attachment 1, Volume 8 (Section 3.3) 50 of 76 | |||

Requested NRC Question On page 205 of Attachment 1, volume 8, surveillance requirement 3.3.2.8 (renumbered to SR 3.3.2.5) does not show a change that would be consistent with the adoption of TSTF-493. TSTF-493 would add the statement in accordance with the setpoint control program to SR 3.3.2.5. | |||
Please provide a new JFD reference that explains the change. | |||

The | ===Response=== | ||
12/17/2009 11:00 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response TSTF-493, Rev. 4, Option B includes the statement concerning the setpoint Statement control program for ISTS SR 3.3.2.8. This SR is a TADOT, and applies to all the manual initiation functions as well as the AFW trip of all main feedwater pumps function. In the ISTS, this function includes setpoints. However, for the KPS design, this trip is actuated by breaker position switches, not a pressure sensor. The Note for ISTS SR 3.3.2.8 (ITS SR 3.3.2.5) specifically states that verification of setpoints are not required for the manual initiation functions. Since there are no setpoints for the KPS design, and the definition of TADOT in Section 1.1 (Volume 3, page 38) states that it includes an adjustment only as necessary, setpoint verification would also not be required. Therefore, the addition of the requirement from TSTF-493, Rev. 4 concerning the setpoint control program is not needed. KPS does not believe that a JFD is necessary to state that a small piece of TSTF-493, which is not approved yet by the NRC, is not being adopted. KPS believes that this response, in addition to the actual KPS design for the function as described in the ITS Bases (page 263), provides proper documentation as to why this part of TSTF-493 is not being adopted. | |||

===Response=== | |||
12/17/2009 11:05 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response After further review, Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) has determined that Statement JFD 5 needs an additional sentence. Since JFD 5 deletes two Surveillances, the remaining Surveillances must be renumbered. | |||
Therefore, an additional sentence has been added that states "Due to these deletions, the subsequent Surveillance Requirements have been renumbered and reordered, as necessary." The draft markup regarding this change is attached as part of the response to KAB-045 (since KAB-045 resulted in the same correction). This change will be reflected in the supplement to this section of the ITS conversion amendment. | |||

: | Statement Table 3.3.2-1, Functions 5a, 6a, and 7 have master and slave relays but do not require master and slave relay testing in NUREG-1431 for ITS, therefore they are not included below. | ||
The following Functions have Master and/or Slave relays that will be checked by the Actuation Logic Test (ALT) every 92 days on a staggered test basis in ITS (SP-55-155): | |||
Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.b Table 3.3.2-1 Function 2.b Table 3.3.2-1 Function 3.b Table 3.3.2-1 Function 4.b Table 3.3.6-1 Function 1 Table 3.3.6-1 Function 2.a (ALT is SI logic portion) | |||
Table 3.3.6-1 Function 2.b (ALT is SI logic portion) | |||
There are some Master and/or Slave relays that are blocked during the ALT to prevent them from operating at inopportune times. Most of these blocked relays are tested for continuity during the ALT by passing enough current to light a bulb, but not enough current to actually pick up the relay. The following Functions contain some relays that do not operate during the ALT but are checked by other surveillances: | |||
Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.b Slaves checked by Diesel Test every 18 months (OP-KW-OSP-SI-001) | |||
Table 3.3.2-1 Function 2.b Slave checked by Diesel Test every 18 months (OP-KW-OSP-SI-001) | |||

5/26/2010 6:00 PM Date/Time Closure Statement Response In ITS TS 3.3.2, Table 3.3.2-1, Function 5a, Feedwater Isolation Automatic Statement Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays, Function 6a, Auxiliary Feedwater Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays, and Function 7.a, Turbine Building Service Water Header Isolation Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays, require SR 3.3.2.2 (Attachment 1 Volume 8, pages 212 and 213 of 517). | |||
Please clarify the quoted statement, in the response to RAI KAB-052, as to why the master and slave relays of ITS TS 3.3.2 Table 3.3.2-1, Functions 5a, 6a, and 7a do not require testing. If these master and slave relays are not tested by SR 3.3.2.2 or other TS 3.3.2 surveillances, how is operability of the relays determined? | |||

5/28/2010 10:15 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response KAB-052, Second Response Statement The paragraph being quoted in the KAB-052 NRC response of 5/26/2010 is referencing the first paragraph of the original KPS response to KAB-052. | |||
This paragraph, which was inadvertently included in the KPS response, should not have been included as this paragraph was informational and related to the ISTS Table Functions (it was information provided to internal KPS reviewers). | |||
KPS ITS Functions 5.a and 6.a do have Master and Slave Relays. Function 5.a was described in the previous response, but for completeness, the information is also provided in this response. | |||
KPS ITS Function 5a Master and Slave Relays are checked by the Feed Regulating Valve Timing Test every 18 months (procedure SP-05A-202). | |||
KPS ITS Function 6a Master and Slave Relays are checked at power (i.e. | |||
online) by Reactor Protection Logic test (procedures SP-47-062A/B) and during shutdown conditions by Reactor Protection Logic test (procedures SP-47-062G/H/I). | |||
KPS ITS Function 7a does not have a typical Master/Slave Relay design, therefore a specific Master or Slave Relay test is not required for this Function. However, the design that does exist is a single contact matrix that is tested by SR 3.3.2.2 (as required by the ITS). | |||

12/17/2009 11:05 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.e is applicable to KPS. However, the ISTS Statement includes two parts for this Function 1.e.(1) and 1.e.(2). The KPS ITS does not include Function 1.e.(2), High Differential Pressure Between Steam Lines Function. This ISTS Function has been deleted using JFD 8, as annotated on the same page. Since there are only 2 parts to Function 1.e, there was no reason to number the remaining part as 1.e.(1), and the remaining function, Steam Line Pressure - Low, has been numbered as just 1.e. The last sentence of JFD 8 states "Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable." While it is recognized that 1.e.(1) is not necessarily "subsequent" to the deleted 1.e.(2), JFD 8 was used to justify the renumbering of the (1) portion since they were both part of Function 1.e. | |||

12/17/2009 11:10 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response JFD 8 describes the deletion of certain Functions from the ISTS Table 3.3.2-Statement | |||
: 1. These Functions include ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 4.d.(1), Steam Line Isolation, Steam Line Pressure - Low, and 4.f, Steam Line Isolation, High Steam Flow in Two Steam Lines Coincident with Steam Line Pressure | |||
- Low. The Allowable Values and Nominal Trip Setpoints are part of the Functions, just like the Applicability, Required Channels, Conditions, and SRs. The Allowable Values and Nominal Trip Setpoint are modified by ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (b), which provides the lead/lag time constants for the Functions. JFD 8, in part, justifies deleting these two Functions, which would include the Allowable Values and Nominal Trip Setpoint, and the ISTS footnote (b) modification. Note that these two Functions are on pages 209 and 210, no ISTS footnote (b) was found on Page 211. However, ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (h), which is on page 211, has been renumbered to ITS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (b) and the change is justified using JFD 8. The last sentence of JFD 8 states "Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable." Thus, JFD 8 was used to justify the renumbering of the footnote from (h) to (b). | |||

Response
12/4/2009 11:30 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) has incorporated WCAP-14333 and WCAP-Statement 15376 into the ITS submittal. However, the Reviewer's Note is in error.
While the Note states that the words in the Reviewer's Note should replace the bracketed words above the Reviewer's Note if the two WCAPs are incorporated, it should have stated that the words are to be replaced if the two WCAPs are not incorporated. WCAP-15376 changed the test time for the RTBs from 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. WCAP-10271 supports the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> RTB test time. The 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> RTB test time allowed by WCAP-15376 was added to the NUREG-1431 (the ISTS) as part of TSTF-411. Furthermore, the ISTS 3.3.1 Bases Actions P.1 and P.2 Reviewer's Note, which provide the description of the action for inoperable RTBs, clearly states that the RTB test time is 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> when WCAP-15376 is adopted. Therefore, based on the above, the proposed words referencing a 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> RTB test time in ITS 3.3.1 Bases Actions N.1 and N.2 (ISTS 3.3.1 Bases Action O.1 and O.2) are correct. However, it was noted that the JFD referenced for the change should have been 9, not 8. Thus, JFD 9 has been modified to identify the typographical error related to the Reviewer's Note. Furthermore, the first sentence of the ITS 3.3.1 Bases Actions N.1 and N.2 also references that the Action is applicable to the SI Input from ESFAS reactor trip. This is not correct since the SI Input from ESFAS reactor trip Function is not included in the KPS ITS. A draft markup regarding these changes is attached.
These changes will be reflected in the supplement to this section of the ITS conversion amendment.

REVIEWERS NOTE----------------------------------- 5 The below text should be used for plants with installed bypass test capability:
The Required Actions are modified by a Note that allows placing one channel in bypass for up to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> while performing routine surveillance testing.

Enclsoure (5 of 8), Q&A to Attachment 1, Volume 8 (Section 3.3) 5 of 76 JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS ITS 3.3.1 BASES, REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM (RPS) INSTRUMENTATION
- 1. Changes are made (additions, deletions, and/or changes) to the ISTS Bases which reflect the plant specific nomenclature, number, reference, system description, analysis, or licensing basis description.
- 2. Changes are made to the ISTS Bases that reflect the adoption of proposed Revision 4 of TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions".
Three options are provided for licensees to pursue when adopting TSTF-493.
Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) has elected to implement TSTF-493 via the use of a Setpoint Control Program. Under this adoption strategy, KPS relocates the Technical Specification Section 3.3, "Instrumentation," Limiting Trip Setpoints, Nominal Trip Setpoints, and/or Allowable Values from the Technical Specifications to a licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program. The requirements for the Setpoint Control Program will be described in Chapter 5, "Administrative Controls," of the Technical Specifications.
- 3. The punctuation corrections have been made consistent with the Writer's Guide for the Improved Standard Technical Specifications, TSTF-GG-05-01, Section 5.1.3.
- 4. The ISTS contains bracketed information and/or values that are generic to all Westinghouse vintage plants. The brackets are removed and the proper plant specific information/value is provided. This is acceptable since the generic specific information/value is revised to reflect the current plant design.
- 5. Changes are made to reflect changes made to the Specifications.
- 6. Typographical error corrected.
- 7. The Reviewer's Note has been deleted. The information is for the NRC reviewer to be keyed into what is needed to meet this requirement. This is not meant to be retained in the final version of the plant specific submittal.
- 8. The ISTS contains bracketed information and/or values that are generic to all Westinghouse vintage plants. Required Actions for Conditions D, E, and K are modified by a Note that provides two options for bypassing a channel for up to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> for the purpose of performing surveillance testing without requiring entry into the applicable Required Actions. One option is for plants that have installed bypass testing capabilities. The other option is for plants that do not have installed bypass testing capabilities. KPS does not have installed bypass testing capabilities.
Therefore, the Note for plants that do not have bypass testing capabilities is retained for Condition D, E, and K.
- 9. The ISTS contains bracketed information and/or values that are generic to all Westinghouse vintage plants. The brackets are removed and the proper plant specific information/value is provided. This is acceptable since the generic specific information/value is revised to reflect the current plant design. Also, the Reviewer's Note has been deleted. The information is for the NRC reviewer to be keyed into what is needed to meet this requirement. This is not meant to be retained in the final version of the plant specific submittal. Furthermore, the bracketed value and the Reviewer's Note allows options dependent upon if the plant is incorporating WCAP-14333 and WCAP-15376. Since KPS is incorporating both of the WCAPs, the correct section has been selected. In addition, it should be noted that the Reviewer's Note for ISTS 3.3.1 Actions O.1 and O.2 should have stated that the alternate wording is required if WCAP-14333 and WCAP-15376 are not adopted, not if they are adopted.
WCAP-15376 justified a 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> RTB test time.

Response
11/30/2009 3:30 PM Date/Time Closure Statement Response Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) has reviewed proposed TSTF-493 Rev. 4 Statement and concurs with the assessment that INSERTS 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 need to be changed to reflect the current version of TSTF-493 Rev.4. A draft markup regarding this change is attached. This change will be reflected in the supplement to this section of the ITS conversion amendment.
Please note that TSTF-493 Rev. 4 was not an approved traveler at the time of the KPS submittal and that the KPS submittal was marked up to the draft version of TSTF-493 sent to the NRC in July of 2009.

SR 3.3.1.7 SR 3.3.1.7 is the performance of a COT every 184 days.
INSERT 5 2 A COT is performed on each required channel to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended Function. A successful test of the required contact(s) of a channel relay may be performed by the verification of the change of state of a single contact of the relay. This clarifies what is an acceptable COT of a relay. This is acceptable because all of the other required contacts of the relay are verified by other Technical Specifications and non-Technical Specifications tests at least once per refueling interval with applicable extensions.
INSERT 5 2 Setpoints must be within the Allowable Values specified in Table 3.3.1-1. 2 The difference between the current "as found" values and the previous test "as left" values must be consistent with the drift allowance used in the 2 setpoint methodology. The setpoint shall be left set consistent with the assumptions of the current unit specific setpoint methodology.
The "as found" and "as left" values must also be recorded and reviewed 2
for consistency with the assumptions of Reference 9.
SR 3.3.1.7 is modified by a Note that provides a 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> delay in the 6 requirement to perform this Surveillance for source range instrumentation when entering MODE 3 from MODE 2. This Note allows a normal shutdown to proceed without a delay for testing in MODE 2 and for a short time in MODE 3 until the RTBs are open and SR 3.3.1.7 is no longer required to be performed.

INSERT 5 COT must be performed in accordance with the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint methodology specified in the SCP to ensure instrument channel OPERABILITY between periodic testing required by the COT.
The test is performed in accordance with the SCP. If the actual setting of the channel is found to be conservative with respect to the Allowable Value but is beyond the as-found tolerance band, the channel is OPERABLE but degraded.
The degraded condition of the channel will be further evaluated during performance of the SR. This evaluation will consist of resetting the channel setpoint to the NTSP (within the allowed tolerance), and evaluating the channel response. If the channel is functioning as required and is expected to pass the next surveillance, then the channel is OPERABLE and can be restored to service at the completion of the surveillance. After the surveillance is completed, the channel as-found condition will be entered into the Corrective Action Program for further evaluation.

SR 3.3.1.9 SR 3.3.1.9 is the performance of a TADOT and is performed every 4
[92] days, as justified in Reference 9. A successful test of the required contact(s) of a channel relay may be performed by the verification of the change of state of a single contact of the relay. This clarifies what is an acceptable TADOT of a relay. This is acceptable because all of the other required contacts of the relay are verified by other Technical Specifications and non-Technical Specifications tests at least once per refueling interval with applicable extensions.
The SR is modified by a Note that excludes verification of setpoints from the TADOT. Since this SR applies to RCP undervoltage and underfrequency relays, setpoint verification requires elaborate bench calibration and is accomplished during the CHANNEL CALIBRATION.
SR 3.3.1.10 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed every [18] months, or 4 approximately at every refueling. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. INSERT 7 CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the 2 assumptions of the unit specific setpoint methodology. The difference between the current "as found" values and the previous test "as left" 2 values must be consistent with the drift allowance used in the setpoint methodology.
The Frequency of 18 months is based on the assumption of an 18 month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the setpoint methodology.
SR 3.3.1.10 is modified by a Note stating that this test shall include verification that the time constants are adjusted to the prescribed values 5 where applicable.

SR 3.3.1.11 INSERT 8 SR 3.3.1.11 is the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION, as described in SR 3.3.1.10, every [18] months. This SR is modified by a 4 Note stating that neutron detectors are excluded from the CHANNEL CALIBRATION. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION for the power range 2 INSERT 8 neutron detectors consists of a normalization of the detectors based on a power calorimetric and flux map performed above 15% RTP. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION for the source range and intermediate range neutron detectors consists of obtaining the detector plateau or preamp discriminator curves, evaluating those curves, and comparing the curves to the manufacturer's data. This Surveillance is not required for the NIS power range detectors for entry into MODE 2 or 1, and is not required for the NIS intermediate range detectors for entry into MODE 2, because the unit must be in at least MODE 2 to perform the test for the intermediate range detectors and MODE 1 for the power range detectors. The
[18] month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance 4 under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed on the [18] month 4 Frequency.
SR 3.3.1.12 SR 3.3.1.12 is the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION, as ¶ INSERT 9 described in SR 3.3.1.10, every [18] months. This SR is modified by a 4 2 Note stating that this test shall include verification of the RCS resistance temperature detector (RTD) bypass loop flow rate. Whenever a sensing element is replaced, the next required CHANNEL CALIBRATION of the resistance temperature detectors (RTD) sensors is accomplished by an inplace cross calibration that compares the other sensing elements with the recently installed sensing element.
This test will verify the rate lag compensation for flow from the core to the RTDs.
The Frequency is justified by the assumption of an 18 month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the setpoint analysis.

12/7/2009 3:40 PM Date/Time Closure Statement Response Westinghouse Technical Bulletin ESBU-TB-92-14 was evaluated by KPS under Statement Operating Experience Assessment (OEA)96-029. A summary of that evaluation is attached.
In regard to low power gain adjustments, if a calorimetric is performed at < 70%
RTP, the power range neutron high flux setpoint is lowered to less than or equal to 85%. A calorimetric must be performed at a higher power level (typically 75%
RTP) before the power range neutron high flux setpoint can be raised to the normal value of 105%.
Guidance is contained in SP-48-002, Nuclear Power Range Channel Gain Adjustment as follows:
Precaution Step 2.6, When Reactor Power is less than 75% power, NI gain adjustments are NOT required, unless more than 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> of operation will occur at this power level.
Procedure Step 6.1, IF Reactor Power is less than 70%, THEN REDUCE NI High Flux Trips to less than or equal to 85% power.
Procedure Step 6.10, IF NI High Flux Trips were reduced to less than or equal to 85% AND NI gain adjustment is verified acceptable, THEN RESET NI High Flux Trips to normal power.

Enclsoure (5 of 8), Q&A to Attachment 1, Volume 8 (Section 3.3) 22 of 76 OEA96-o29 A. SAFETY OR RELIABILITY SIGNIFICANCE:
This Westinghouse Technical Bulletin discusses the potential to decalibrate the NIs at low power levels due to errors in the calorimetric. Decalibration of the NIs due to flux shift and low leakage cores was addressed by OBA 93-036 and IR 93-115 (LER 93-014).
Recommendations 1, 2, and 3 of this Tech. Bulletin are already being implemented at Kewaunee. Procedures SP 87-125 and SP 48-002 ensure the NIs are normalized to a calorimetric. Procedures RXT-6 and SPs 48-Q04A,B,C&D ensure the High Power trip is reduced to 80 % following a refueling outage and that the trip setpoint reduction is conservative. Procedure RXT-6 ensures the NIs are renormalized at successively higher power levels (2S, 40, 7S, 90, and 100%)..
KNPP bas chosen to address the concerns covered by Recommendations 4, 5, and 6 differently than descn'bed in the Tech Bulletin.
In Recommendation 4 Westinghouse suggests correcting the NIB by use of a gain adjust anytime they indicate less than the calorimetric. We will typically do this when the difference exceeds 1 % and power is greater than 75%. Jf power is less than 75% due to a backdown or return to power from a plant trip and the plant will remain at that power level less than 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br />, no adjustment will be made. This is justified because the NlS hAs been previously adjusted for 100%
operation and the plant will be returning to that power level in a relatively short period of time. If an adjustment were to be made, it would likely have to be undone when power is increased.
In Recommendation 5 Westinghouse suggests that when power level is greater than 70% and the NIS indicate higher than the calorimetric, a gain adjust is not necessary. For cases where the plant is in a transient, the plant guidance described in Recommendation 4 is implemented. If the plant is operating at steady state power and the NIS indicates 1 % or greater than the calorimetric~ they will be adjusted. 'This is necessary to account for the changes in leakage due to core bumup.
In Recommendation 6 Westinghouse suggests that when power level is less than 70% power and the NIS indicate higher than the calorimetric, no adjustment should be made. As stated in the previous two recommendations~ if the plant is in a transient state, this guidance is followed. However ~ if the plant will remain at a power level greater than 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br />, an adjustment must be made to meet Tech Spec requirements.. However, if the plant is maintaining a power level less than 50 % when the adjustment is made, the high power reactor trip setpoint will be reduced to 85%. The setpoint will be changed to its normal value when a more accurate adjustment can be made. Typically at approx. 75% power.. While this change was not made to account for calorimetric error, it does meet the intent of the Westinghouse recommendation.. The difference in power levels (50% for WPS, 70% for Westinghouse) should be addressed.
Kewaunee determines feedwater flow for the calorimetric differently than described in this Tech Bulletin. However, the worst case feedwater flow error possible at 50% power including the 2% NI-calorimetric mismatch driving the adjustment could result in a 13.5% error at 100% power6 An. error of this magnitude would result in KNPP exceeding the Tech Spec value of 109% and the analysis limit of 118%. To ensure analysis limits are met, SP48.. 002 should be revised to require the High Power NI setpoint be reduced if an adjustment is made at a power less than 70%. The maximum feedwater flow error at 70 % coupled with the 2 % NJ.-ca1orimetric error driving the adjustment will only result in a 6% error at 100%. While this may result in the plant exceeding the Tech Spec value of 109%, the analysis setpoint of 118 % will be maintained.
The second document covered by this OEA is a 50,,92 evaluation to change the Tech Spec requirements for NIS adjustment.. Due to the relatively short time KNPP operates at reduced power and the proposed changes to the procedural guidance already in place, a revision to p~t Tech Specs is not justified.
This OBA should be routed to Operations, Reactor Engineering, and I&C Engineering for information.

B 3.3.5 unless otherwise noted BASES BACKGROUND (continued)
The Trip Setpoints used in the relays are based on the analytical limits presented in FSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 2). The selection of these trip setpoints is such that adequate protection is provided when all sensor and processing time delays are taken into account.
Setpoints adjusted consistent with the requirements of the Allowable Value ensure that the consequences of accidents will be acceptable, providing the unit is operated from within the LCOs at the onset of the accident and that the equipment functions as designed.
2 Allowable Values and/or Nominal Trip Setpoints are specified for each Setpoint Function in SR 3.3.5.3. Nominal Trip Setpoints are also specified in the 4 Control unit specific setpoint calculations. The trip setpoints are selected to Program ensure that the setpoint measured by the surveillance procedure does not exceed the Allowable Value if the relay is performing as required. If the measured setpoint does not exceed the Allowable Value, the relay is considered OPERABLE. Operation with a trip setpoint less conservative than the nominal Trip Setpoint, but within the Allowable Value, is acceptable provided that operation and testing is consistent with the assumptions of the unit specific setpoint calculation (Ref. 3). methodology APPLICABLE O The LOP DG start instrumentation is required for the Engineered Safety SAFETY Features (ESF) Systems to function in any accident with a loss of offsite ANALYSES power. Its design basis is that of the ESF Actuation System (ESFAS).
Accident analyses credit the loading of the DG based on the loss of offsite power during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The actual DG start has historically been associated with the ESFAS actuation. The DG loading has been included in the delay time associated with each safety system component requiring DG supplied power following a loss of offsite power.
The analyses assume a non-mechanistic DG loading, which does not explicitly account for each individual component of loss of power detection and subsequent actions.
O The required channels of LOP DG start instrumentation, in conjunction with the ESF systems powered from the DGs, provide unit protection in the event of any of the analyzed accidents discussed in Reference 2, in which a loss of offsite power is assumed.
The delay times assumed in the safety analysis for the ESF equipment include the 10 second DG start delay, and the appropriate sequencing delay, if applicable. The response times for ESFAS actuated equipment in LCO 3.3.2, "Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS)
Instrumentation," include the appropriate DG loading and sequencing delay.

INSTRUMENTATION requirement to perform the surveillance test in accordance with the SCP. Hence, the addition of the phrase "in accordance with the Setpoint Control Program" to ITS SR 3.3.2.4, CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) and ITS SR 3.3.2.6, CHANNEL CALIBRATION in the surveillance requirement table.
- 13. The ISTS contains bracketed information and/or values that are generic to all Westinghouse vintage plants. ISTS Required Actions D, E, and I (ITS Required Actions D, E, and H, respectively) are modified by a Note that provides two options for bypassing a channel for up to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> for the purpose of performing surveillance testing without entry into the applicable Required Actions. One option is for plants that have installed bypass testing capabilities. The other option is for plants that do not have installed bypass testing capabilities. KPS does not have installed bypass testing capabilities. Therefore, the Note for plants that do not have bypass testing capabilities is retained for Required Actions D, E, and H.
- 14. ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.g (Trip of all Main Feedwater Pumps) specifies that ISTS SR 3.3.2.9, a CHANNEL CALIBRATION, is required for the Function. This CHANNEL CALIBRATION requirement is not being included in the KPS ITS for the same Function (ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.e). The ISTS shows that the Function has an ALLOWABLE VALUE and NOMINAL TRIP SETPOINT based on a pressure. The ISTS Bases describes that the trip is derived from low pressure on the control air/oil line of the turbine driven main feedwater pumps. Thus, it is appropriate to perform a CHANNEL CALIBRATION on the sensors. However, KPS uses motor driven main feedwater pumps, and the signal to start the AFW pumps comes from the breaker position contacts. Thus, there is no CHANNEL CALIBRATION to perform. This is also consistent with the KPS CTS, which does not require a CHANNEL CALIBRATION.
- 15. The RTS RESPONSE TIME requirement, ISTS SR 3.3.2.10, has not been adopted into the KPS ITS, consistent with Kewaunee current licensing basis and current Technical Specifications. The Kewaunee USAR describes the implementation of the principles as related to the proposed IEEE-279 "Standard, Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems," August 1968. This industry standard provides guidance and requirements for conducting periodic testing of protection systems. IEEE-279-1968 does not address response time testing. Furthermore, generic studies have shown that instrumentation response time changes (increasing times), that could impact safety, do not normally vary such that they would not be detected during other required surveillances (e.g., CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS). Since the addition of these tests would be a major burden (plant design does not readily lend itself to such testing) with little gain in safety, ISTS SR 3.3.2.10 has not been added.
16 Throughout the ISTS, in both the Specifications and the Bases, reference is made to placing a channel in bypass or bypassing an inoperable channel. KPS does not have the ability to place a channel in bypass or perform a bypass of an inoperable channel without performing a temporary alteration of the circuit. Since the installation of temporary alterations is intrusive, KPS has determined that this practice is unacceptable. Therefore, KPS does not have the ability to place a channel in bypass or perform a bypass of an inoperable channel. As a result, when a channel is required to be placed in bypass or a bypass of a channel is required, the channel is placed in the trip condition.

INSTRUMENTATION Therefore, all master and slave relays in ESF that can be safely checked online and do not pose a significant risk to plant reliability are checked during the performance of the Actuation Logic Test (ALT). The remainder of the Master and Slave Relays are checked by actual equipment operation when the plant conditions are such that it does not significantly affect safety and reliability in the plant. KPS currently tests and meets the requirements of Generic Letter 96-01 and the inclusion of specific Master or Slave Relay Testing would be intrusive and/or affect safety and reliability due to the design of KPS. This was acknowledged in the original plant NRC SER (Ref. 1), a letter from WPSC to the NRC dated April 19, 1996 in regard to Generic Letter 96-01 (Ref. 2), and the acceptance letter from the NRC to WPSC dated January 14, 1999 in regard to Generic Letter 96-01 (Ref.
3). KPS testing of the Master and Slave Relays is limited and plant design does not allow for safely and reliably performing separate Master and Slave Relay Testing surveillances. Due to these deletions, the subsequent Surveillance Requirements have been renumbered and reordered, as necessary.
- 6. ISTS 3.3.2 ACTIONS H, K, and L are applicable to ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 5.a, 7.b, 7.c, 8.b, and 8.c. These Functions are not applicable to the design of KPS; therefore, the applicable ACTIONS have been deleted. The discussion for the reason each function is not applicable to KPS is found in other Justification For Deviations.
- 7. ISTS SR 3.3.2.3 requires the performance of an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST every 31 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. ISTS SR 3.3.2.3 also contains a NOTE that the continuity check may be excluded. ISTS SR 3.3.2.3 is applicable only to ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 6.b, Auxiliary Feedwater Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays. This test is currently not required at KPS. Since the design of the KPS ESFAS actuation logic is such that master and slave relays are employed and not a solid state protection system, ISTS SR 3.3.2.2 (ITS SR 3.3.2.2) is used to check the Auxiliary Feedwater Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays. ISTS SR 3.3.2.2 is the performance of an ACTUATION LOGIC TEST every 92 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. ISTS SR 3.3.2.2 does not contain the NOTE that the continuity check may be excluded. This testing Frequency is considered acceptable and is the same Frequency as relay testing for other ESFAS Functions. In addition, the Note is not needed for ITS SR 3.3.2.2. Subsequent Surveillance Requirements have been renumbered, as necessary.

INSTRUMENTATION Sump), 8.b, (Pressurizer Pressure, P-11), and 8.c, (T avg - Low Low, P-12) have been deleted since they do not apply to the KPS design. In addition, all applicable footnotes related to those Functions are also being deleted. Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable.
- 9. A Note to ISTS SR 3.3.2.9 (ITS SR 3.3.2.6) requires the CHANNEL CALIBRATION to include verification that time constants are adjusted to the prescribed values. In the KPS ITS, this Surveillance (ITS SR 3.3.2.6) applies to ITS Table 3.3.2-1, Functions 1.c, 1.d, 1.e, 2.c, 4.c, 4.d, 4.e, 5.b, 6.b, 6.d, 6.e, and 7.b. Of these Functions, the only one that has a time constant is ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 1.e, and the time constants are included in a Note to the Allowable Value. Thus, the time constant is part of the Allowable Value for this function. The definition of CHANNEL CALIBRATION states that it is the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameter that the channel monitors. Thus the CHANNEL CALIBRATION of this Function requires the time constant be set properly. It is not necessary to include a Note that also says that the CHANNEL CALIBRATION Surveillance includes the time constants; it already does. Including this note in this Surveillance would incorrectly imply that a CHANNEL CALIBRATION does not require certain Allowable Values (i.e., time constant type Allowable Values) to be verified during the CHANNEL CALIBRATION. In addition, the Allowable Values for the KPS ITS will be removed from the ITS and retained in a licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program. Therefore, the Note is not included in the KPS ITS.
- 10. The Nominal Trip Setpoint column has been deleted as allowed by the Reviewer's Note at the end of the ISTS Table 3.3.2-1. This Reviewer's Note allows specific unit implementation to contain only the Allowable Value. The nominal trip setpoints for each of the applicable ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions will be controlled in accordance with the Note in the ISTS 3.3.2 Bases Background section.
- 11. ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 (ITS Table 3.3.2-1) Function 8 (Reactor Trip, P-4 Interlock) has been revised by deleting the term "2 trains." This information is Bases type information and has been included in the ITS Bases.
- 12. Changes are made to the ISTS that reflect the adoption of proposed Revision 4 of TSTF-493, "Clarify Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions".
Three options are provided for licensees to pursue when adopting TSTF-493. KPS has elected to implement TSTF-493 via the use of a Setpoint Control Program.
Under this adoption strategy, KPS relocates the Technical Specification Section 3.3, "Instrumentation," Limiting Trip Setpoints, Nominal Trip Setpoints, and/or Allowable Values from the Technical Specifications to a licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program. The requirements for the Setpoint Control Program will be described in Chapter 5, "Administrative Controls," of the Technical Specifications. Hence the deletion of the "ALLOWABLE VALUE" and "NOMINAL TRIP SETPOINT" columns from Table 3.3.2-1 of the ITS. Included in the relocation to the licensee-controlled Setpoint Control Program is all information contained within any associated footnotes that tie to numerical values in the Limiting Trip Setpoints, Nominal Trip Setpoints, and/or Allowable Value columns.
In addition, the adoption strategy requires that each instrument surveillance requirement which verifies a LSSS (both SL and non-SL-LSSSs) contain a Kewaunee Power Station Page 4 of 5 Enclsoure (5 of 8), Q&A to Attachment 1, Volume 8 (Section 3.3) 50 of 76

Response
12/17/2009 11:00 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response TSTF-493, Rev. 4, Option B includes the statement concerning the setpoint Statement control program for ISTS SR 3.3.2.8. This SR is a TADOT, and applies to all the manual initiation functions as well as the AFW trip of all main feedwater pumps function. In the ISTS, this function includes setpoints. However, for the KPS design, this trip is actuated by breaker position switches, not a pressure sensor. The Note for ISTS SR 3.3.2.8 (ITS SR 3.3.2.5) specifically states that verification of setpoints are not required for the manual initiation functions. Since there are no setpoints for the KPS design, and the definition of TADOT in Section 1.1 (Volume 3, page 38) states that it includes an adjustment only as necessary, setpoint verification would also not be required. Therefore, the addition of the requirement from TSTF-493, Rev. 4 concerning the setpoint control program is not needed. KPS does not believe that a JFD is necessary to state that a small piece of TSTF-493, which is not approved yet by the NRC, is not being adopted. KPS believes that this response, in addition to the actual KPS design for the function as described in the ITS Bases (page 263), provides proper documentation as to why this part of TSTF-493 is not being adopted.

Response
12/17/2009 11:05 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response After further review, Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) has determined that Statement JFD 5 needs an additional sentence. Since JFD 5 deletes two Surveillances, the remaining Surveillances must be renumbered.
Therefore, an additional sentence has been added that states "Due to these deletions, the subsequent Surveillance Requirements have been renumbered and reordered, as necessary." The draft markup regarding this change is attached as part of the response to KAB-045 (since KAB-045 resulted in the same correction). This change will be reflected in the supplement to this section of the ITS conversion amendment.

Statement Table 3.3.2-1, Functions 5a, 6a, and 7 have master and slave relays but do not require master and slave relay testing in NUREG-1431 for ITS, therefore they are not included below.
The following Functions have Master and/or Slave relays that will be checked by the Actuation Logic Test (ALT) every 92 days on a staggered test basis in ITS (SP-55-155):
Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.b Table 3.3.2-1 Function 2.b Table 3.3.2-1 Function 3.b Table 3.3.2-1 Function 4.b Table 3.3.6-1 Function 1 Table 3.3.6-1 Function 2.a (ALT is SI logic portion)
Table 3.3.6-1 Function 2.b (ALT is SI logic portion)
There are some Master and/or Slave relays that are blocked during the ALT to prevent them from operating at inopportune times. Most of these blocked relays are tested for continuity during the ALT by passing enough current to light a bulb, but not enough current to actually pick up the relay. The following Functions contain some relays that do not operate during the ALT but are checked by other surveillances:
Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.b Slaves checked by Diesel Test every 18 months (OP-KW-OSP-SI-001)
Table 3.3.2-1 Function 2.b Slave checked by Diesel Test every 18 months (OP-KW-OSP-SI-001)

5/28/2010 10:15 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response KAB-052, Second Response Statement The paragraph being quoted in the KAB-052 NRC response of 5/26/2010 is referencing the first paragraph of the original KPS response to KAB-052.
This paragraph, which was inadvertently included in the KPS response, should not have been included as this paragraph was informational and related to the ISTS Table Functions (it was information provided to internal KPS reviewers).
KPS ITS Functions 5.a and 6.a do have Master and Slave Relays. Function 5.a was described in the previous response, but for completeness, the information is also provided in this response.
KPS ITS Function 5a Master and Slave Relays are checked by the Feed Regulating Valve Timing Test every 18 months (procedure SP-05A-202).
KPS ITS Function 6a Master and Slave Relays are checked at power (i.e.
online) by Reactor Protection Logic test (procedures SP-47-062A/B) and during shutdown conditions by Reactor Protection Logic test (procedures SP-47-062G/H/I).
KPS ITS Function 7a does not have a typical Master/Slave Relay design, therefore a specific Master or Slave Relay test is not required for this Function. However, the design that does exist is a single contact matrix that is tested by SR 3.3.2.2 (as required by the ITS).

12/17/2009 11:05 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response ITS Table 3.3.2-1 Function 1.e is applicable to KPS. However, the ISTS Statement includes two parts for this Function 1.e.(1) and 1.e.(2). The KPS ITS does not include Function 1.e.(2), High Differential Pressure Between Steam Lines Function. This ISTS Function has been deleted using JFD 8, as annotated on the same page. Since there are only 2 parts to Function 1.e, there was no reason to number the remaining part as 1.e.(1), and the remaining function, Steam Line Pressure - Low, has been numbered as just 1.e. The last sentence of JFD 8 states "Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable." While it is recognized that 1.e.(1) is not necessarily "subsequent" to the deleted 1.e.(2), JFD 8 was used to justify the renumbering of the (1) portion since they were both part of Function 1.e.

Response
12/17/2009 11:10 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response JFD 8 describes the deletion of certain Functions from the ISTS Table Statement 3.3.2-1. These deletions resulted in the renumbering of the remaining Functions, including the ones listed in the question. The last sentence of JFD 8 states "Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable." Thus, JFD 8 was used to justify the renumbering of the Functions that are being maintained in the KPS ITS.

Response
12/17/2009 11:10 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response JFD 8 describes the deletion of certain Functions from the ISTS Table 3.3.2-Statement
- 1. These Functions include ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 Functions 4.d.(1), Steam Line Isolation, Steam Line Pressure - Low, and 4.f, Steam Line Isolation, High Steam Flow in Two Steam Lines Coincident with Steam Line Pressure
- Low. The Allowable Values and Nominal Trip Setpoints are part of the Functions, just like the Applicability, Required Channels, Conditions, and SRs. The Allowable Values and Nominal Trip Setpoint are modified by ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (b), which provides the lead/lag time constants for the Functions. JFD 8, in part, justifies deleting these two Functions, which would include the Allowable Values and Nominal Trip Setpoint, and the ISTS footnote (b) modification. Note that these two Functions are on pages 209 and 210, no ISTS footnote (b) was found on Page 211. However, ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (h), which is on page 211, has been renumbered to ITS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (b) and the change is justified using JFD 8. The last sentence of JFD 8 states "Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable." Thus, JFD 8 was used to justify the renumbering of the footnote from (h) to (b).

Response
12/17/2009 11:10 AM Date/Time Closure Statement Response JFD 8 describes the deletion of certain Functions from the ISTS Table Statement 3.3.2-1. These deletions resulted in the renumbering of the remaining Functions, as well as any footnotes deleted because they were a part of the Function. Thus, ITS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (d) is actually ISTS Table 3.3.2-1 footnote (i). The last sentence of JFD 8 states "Subsequent Functions and footnotes have been renumbered as applicable." Thus, JFD 8 was used to justify the renumbering of the footnote from (i) to (d).
