• SAFETY EVALUATION FOR SUPPLEMENTAL PROPOSED CHANGE This supplemental proposed change to the Technical Specification provides clarification for the required testing of the reactor trip breakers, reactor trip bypass breakers and the manual scram switches; and provides further definition of operability for the reactor trip breakers. To meet the guidance of the Generic Letter 85-09, "Technical Specifications for Generic Letter 83-28, item 4 .3," a supplemental proposed change is submitted to provide a Limiting Condition for Operation for the reactor trip breakers; and adminis-trative notes to clarify the surveillance testing requirements for the reactor trip breakers, reactor trip bypass breakers, and the manual scram switches.

50.59 Safety Review Pursuant to 10CFRS0.59, we have reviewed the supplemental proposed change and have concluded that no unreviewed safety question exists: In that, (i) The

• probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment importantant to safety is not increased by these supplemental changes. One change redefines the operability of the reactor trip breaker with one of the diverse trip features (undervoltage or shunt trip attachments) inoperable. Since either trip feature being operable would initiate a reactor trip the probability of occurrence or consequence of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety is not increased from that previously evaluated in the UFSAR, (ii) The possibility of a different type of accident other than discussed in the UFSAR has not been created by this supplemental proposed change. The proposed changes are bounded by the previous submittal and no new or different type of accidents are created by this additional change. (iii) The margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification is not reduced by this change. The proposed changes provide further definition of reactor trip breaker operability and clarification of surveillance test requirements for the reactor trip and reactor trip bypass breakers, and the manual scram switches. These supplemental changes are bounded by the previous submittal and do not*reduce

• the margin of safety *

• 50.92 Significant Hazards Review The supplemental proposed changes do not pose a significant hazards considera-tion as definec:I in 10CFR50. 92. The Commission has provided examples of changes that constitute no significant safety hazards consideration in Federal Regiiter, Volume 48, page 14870. Example (ii) consist of additional limita-tion, restrictions or controls beyond those presently specified in the Technical Specifications. Example (vii) consists of a change to make the licensee conform to changes in Commission guidances. The supplemental proposed change is similar to example (ii) in that it clarifies the intent of the su.rveill~nce testing requirements for reactor trip and reactor trip bypass breakers, and the manual scram switches. Specifically, the Technical Specification requires independent testing of the undervoltage and shunt trip attachments in the reactor trip and reactor trip bypass breakers. In addition

• the p*roposed change is similar to example (vii) in that it clarifies operability of the reactor trip breakers in the action statement.

Specifically the Commission's guidance, in Generic Letter 85-09, permits power operation of the reactor with one (1) of the diverse trip features of a reactor-trip breaker (undervoltage or shunt trip attachment) inoperable for up to 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> prior to shuting down.

Based on the above we concluded that this proposed Technical Specification supplemental change does not involve an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10CFR50.59 nor a significant hazards consideration as defined in 10CFR50.92.
