Cumulative operation of the SLCRS with heaters operating for at least 10 continuous hours in a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters. The 31-day frequency was developed in consideration of the known reliability of fan motors and con-trols. This test is performed on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS once per 31-days.

Surveillance Reauirements and Bases Section 3/4.6.6.1 The proposed changes to the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.b and 4.6.6.1.d will extend the frequency from once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). The proposed changes are being made in accordance with the guidance contained in GL 91-04. The Bases Section 3/4.6.6.1 has been revised to reflect the above changes.
2. Section 4.7.7. Control Room Emeroency Ventilation System.

Surveillance Reauirements Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c and 4.7.7.e verify the operability of each control room emergency air filtration system at least once per 18 months. NNECO proposes to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c and 4.7.7.e from at least once per 18 months to at least once'each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months).

The proposed change is consistent with the recommendations of GL 91-04. No changes to Bases Section 3/4.7.7 are proposed because the Bases Section is not impacted by the proposed change.

3. Section 4.7.8. Control Room Envelope Pressurization System. Surveillance Reauirements *

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 1 July 17, 1995 Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 3 Proposed Revision to Technical Specifications 24-Month Refuel Cycle Safety Assessment and Significant Hazards Consideration Safety Assessment and Significant Hazards Consideration for Changes to control Room Emergency Ventilation System, Control Room Envelope Prr.msurisation System, Auxiliary Building Filter System, Su r plementary Leak Collection and Release System, and Fuel Building Exhaust Filter System .

RArAground On June 7,1995, Millstone Unit No. 3 began operating on a 24-month fuel cycle instead of the previous 18-month cycles. To be consistent with this longer fuel cycle, NNECO is proposing to modify the frequency of a number of the surveillance requirements existing in the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications. The safety assessment and significant hazards consideration discussion for the proposed changes to Sections 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, 4.7.8.c, 4.7.9.b, 4.7.9.d, 4.9.12.b, 4.9.12.d, 4.6.6.1.b, 4.6.6.1.d, and Bases Section 3/4.6.6.1 are described below. In the future, NNECG will be proposing additional changes to the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications to prepare for the conversion to the 24-month fuel cycle. Each of thase submittals will contain evaluations that are independent and which stand alone.

A. Control Roon Emercency Ventilation System and Control Room EnveloDe Pressurisation System Safety Assessment The function of the control room envelope pressurization system is to provide breathable air to the control room pressure envelope and to pressurize the envelope area for the first hour following the isolation of the control room envelope due to an accident that causes release of radiation or toxic gases. The control room emergency air filtration nystem is put into operation approximately one hour after the isolation of the pressure envelope as the bottled air supply is exhausted. The function of the control room congency air filtration system is to continue to maintain pressMizatic,n of the pressure envelope after the bottled air system is no longer able to do so. It is also designed to limit the amount of radioactivity  ;

introduced into the envelope and filter radioactivity already l in the control room. The control room emergency air filtration and envelope pressurization systems are located in the control building.

z U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 2 July 17, 1995 Surveillance Requirement 4.7.7.c demonstrates the operability of the control room emergency air filtration system by:

(1) verifying that it satisfies in-place penetration and bypass leakage testing acceptance criteria, (2) verifying, within 31 days of removal, that a laboratory analysis of a representative carbon sample meets its acceptance criteria, and (3) verifying a system flow rate of 1120 cfm i 20% during system operation. Surveillance Requirement 4.7.7.c contains additional requirements to perform the applicable verifications after any structural maintenance on the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housings, or following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system.

These requirements are not being modified.

Surveillance Requirement 4.7.7.e demonstrates the operability of the control room's emergency air filtration system by:

(1) verifying the pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber bank at operating system flow rate, (2) verifying that the system is capable of maintaining the control room at a positive pressure of greater than or equal to 1/8 inch water gauge at less than or equal to the pressurization flow, and (3) verifying that the heaters dissipate specified kW when tested.

Surveillance Requirement 4.7.8.c demonstrates the operability of the control room envelope pressurization system by:

(1) verifying that the control room envelope is isolated in response to a control building isolation (CBI) test signal, (2) verifying that after a 60-second time delay following a CBI test signal, the control room envelope pressurizes to greater than or equal to 1/8 inch water gauge relative to outside atmosphere, and (3) verifying that the positive pressure is maintained for greater than or equal to 60 minutes.

The above surveillances are required to be performed at least once per 18 months. NNECO is proposing to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months).

The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, do not involve any physical changes to the plant, do not alter the way any structure, systems, or component functions, and do not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. As such, the proposed changes to the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e,

} and 4.7.8.c will not degrade the ability of the control room emergency filtration and control room envelope pressurization systems to perform their function.

l U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 3 July 17, 1995 Also, the automatic actuation logic and actuation relays responsible for isolating the control room envelope are required to be tested by Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 of the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications.

Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 requires monthly actuation logic tests and master relay tests and quarterly slave relay tests for the CBI actuation logics and actuation relays to be t conducted.

Equipment performance over the last four operating cycles was ,

evaluated to determine the impact of extending the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c.

This evaluation included a review of surveillance results, preventive maintenance records, and the frequency and type of corrective maintenance. The components covered under Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4. 7. 8. c are shown in Table 2 and covered by Surveillance Procedures SP3614.F.2 and SP3614.F.3, and Maintenance Procedure SP3712H.

The summary of the surveillance test scope and results are provided below:

1. Control Room Filter Charcoal Analysis:

There were nine surveillances performed on Train 'A' and thirteen on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

2. Control Room Filter System Flow Rates:

There were ten surveillances performed on Train 'A' and eleven on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

3. Control Room Filter Bank Pressure Drop:

There were seven surveillances performed on Train 'A' and eight on Train 'B." In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

4. Control Room Emergency Ventilation HEPA Filter Test:

There were six surveillances performed on Train 'A' and six on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

5. Control Room Charcoal Adsorber Test:

There were ten surveillances performed on Train 'A' and nine on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance criterion was met.

6. Control Room Emergency Ventilation Pressurization: ,

There were seven surveillances performed on Train 'A' and i eight on Train 'B.' In three cases, the surveillance criterion did not meet the acceptance criterion.

Specifically, the control room pressure did not go above the 0.125 inch of water gauge acceptance criterion. After the investigation and making some adjustments to the control room manual recirculation damper, the tests were conducted on the same or following day and all the retests were acceptable. To prevent recurrence, written changes were made to Ops Form 3314F-9 and 3314F-10 to specify that the recirculation dampers are throttled appropriately to meet the control room pressurization technical specification requirements. At present, NNECO is continuing to investigate alternatives to the current testing methodology, including installation of a flow orifice. It is noted that all other tests met the acceptance criterion.

7. Control Room Envelope Pressurization Test:

There were thirteen surveillances performed on Train 'A' and ten on Train 'B.' Train 'A' had six failed surveillances (last test failure occurred on May 5, 1993),

and Train 'B' had three failed surveillances (last test failure occurred on February 23, 1993). These failures were attributed to problems with the oscillating chilled water valves 3HVK*TY41A(B) . Corrective actions were taken to prevent recurrence and the retests were performed in April /May 1993 which met the appropriate acceptance l criterion. Since then, additional tests have been l performed and, in those cases, the surveillance acceptance i criterion was met. All the failed surveillances l represented physical plant system conditions or lack of understanding of the allowable differential pressura fluctuation margin. Each issue was identified and i corrected by either component and loop adjustment, )

component replacement, procedural changes or i clarifications. In April 1994, a technical clarification was added to the Technical Requirements Manual (3TRM-3.7.8) explaining acceptable pressure fluctuation conditions which result in the differential pressure momentarily dropping below the 0.125 inch water gauge.

Prior understanding of this differential pressure fluctuation allowable criteria would have resulted in acceptable surveillances in the majority (5 of 9) of the failed tests. In addition, due to the extremely high frequency of use, the east control room door was starting to degrade and was replaced during RFOS. The following l pressurization tests were successful and showed marked )

replacement of this door could have resulted in. acceptable i surveillances in an additional two'or three of the failed i tests.- The door replacement was an improvement to the  !

ongoing system preventive maintenance program to inspect

all control' room boundary doors on a quarterly basis.

8. Control Room Emergency Ventilation Filter Assembly Heaters: l There were six surveillances performed on Train 'A' and ]

six on Train 'B.' In all cases, the surveillance  !

acceptance criterion was met.

Based on the above surveillance results, the corrective changes -

made to the system and boundary, and better understanding of 1 allowable differential pressure fluctuation allowable criteria,  !

the reliability of the control room emergency air filtration  !

a nt control room envelope pressurization systems is considered l acc.aptable. .l The majority of corrective maintenance involved with charcoal .

filter inspections, charcoal removal of analysis, and leaking i air - valves and tanks. The majority of charcoal filter. '

E insr,ections and charcoal removal tasks were done following a -

filter having greater than 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of operation time. Tests  ;

and experience have shown that activated carbon has a useful  :

life of between 3-5 years. in a . standby system. The leaking i valve corrective maintenance- tasks were either valve  ;

adjustments, disassembly and refurbishing Deating~ or i repacking). Due to recurring leaks with relief valves q 3HVC*RV125 A1, A2, B1, and B2, all valves have been replaced. 1 Leaking air tanks were inspected and plugs removed, cleaned and '

replaced with no known recurrence. The above maintenance tasks could be performed with the plant on-line. Based on the above, it is concluded that there is no indication that the proposed- ,

increase in the surveillance interval could cause deterioration i in the control room emergency air filtration and envelope l pressurization systems.  !

The only preventive maintenance that is scheduled on . an ~[

18-month frequency is to verify the capacity of heaters  !

3HVC*FLT1A and B. There is no indication that the~ proposed.  !

extension could cause deterioration in the control room  !

emergency air filtration system condition or performance.  !

In addition, Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.b and 4'7.8.b .

provide additional assurance that the control room emergency l air filtration and control room envelope pressurization systems -l are operable, q f

k-U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission-B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 6 i July 17, 1995 On the basis of the above evaluation, there is reasonable assurance that the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c can be extended from at least once per 18 months to once each refueling interval (i.e.,

nominal 24 months) .

A Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) review of the proposed i extension in the surveillance frequency concluded that the l l

increase in public risk is negligible. j 1

Sicnificant Hazards Consideration  !

NNECO has reviewed the proposed changes in accordance with

} 10CFR50.92 and has concluded that the changes do not involve

(. a significant hazards consideration (SHC). The basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR50.92(c) are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC l because the changes would not: l

1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or 3 consequences of an accidence previously evaluated.

The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c extend the frequency for demonstrating the operability of the control room emergency air filtration and control room envelope pressurization systems. The proposal would extend the i frequency from at least once per 18 months to at least )

once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months).

The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, do not alter the way any structure, system, or component functions, and do not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. In addition, the acceptance criterion for each surveillance is unchanged. As such, the proposed changes in the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c will not degrade the ability of the control room emergency air filtration and control room envelope pressurization systems to perform their safety function.

In addition, Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.b and 4.7.8.b provide additional assurance that these systems will be operable.

An evaluation of past surveillances, preventive l maintenance records, and the frequency and the type of j corrective maintenance concluded that decreasing the l

frequency will have little impact on safety. Since the l

, proposed changes only affect the surveillance frequency, I

the proposed changes cannot affect the probability of any

' increase in the interval has been ' evaluated, - and .it is concluded that there is no significant impact on the reliability or availability of.the control room emergency air filtration and control' room envelope pressurization systems, and consequently, there is no impact on the consequences of any analyzed' accident.

2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of-accident from any accident previously evaluated.

The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.7.7.c, 4.7.7.e, and 4.7.8.c do not modify the design or operation of any plant system. The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillance is conducted .other than increasing .the interval from 18 months to 24 months (nominal) . The proposed changes do not introduce a new failure mode. Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously analyzed.

3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

do not alter the intent or method by 'which. the surveillances are conducted, do not involve any physical changes to the plant, do not alter the way any structure, system, or component functions, and do not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. Further, the previous history of reliability of the. control room

, emergency air filtration and control room envelope pressurization systems provides assurance that the changes will not affect the reliability of these systems. Thus, the proposed changes have no impact on the margin of safety.

B. Auxiliary Buildina Filter System Safety Assessment

! The auxiliary building filter system (ABFS) is a two train safety-related system. The function of the ABFS is to ensure 4

that radioactive material that leaks from the primary

containment into the secondary containment following a design basis accident (DBA) is filtered out and adsorbed prior to any release to the environment. To accomplish this, the ABFS works

~

in conjunction with the supplementary leak collection and

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 8 July 17, 1995 release system (SLCRS). The ABFS is also designed to process exhaust from nonsafety-related fans for filtration of other reactor plant areas where high radioactivity in those areas is detected. The SLCRS and the ABFS fans and filtration units are located in the auxiliary building. The ABFS is designed to operate together with the SLCRS to achieve and maintain a specified negative pressure in all areas within the secondary containment boundary under most meteorological conditions.

During normal plant operations, the ABFS does not normally operate. In the event of a DBA, it and the SLCRS start on receipt of a safety injection signal (SIS). The safety assessment of surveillance extension for the SLCRS is described later in this submittal.

The operability of the ABFS is verified by Surveillance Requirements 4. 7. 9. a through 4.7. 9. f. Surveillance Requirement 4.7.9.a requires that the ABFS be demonstrated operable at least once per 31 days on a staggered test basis by initiating, from the control room, flow through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers, verifying the flow rate, and operating the system for a minimum period of time. Surveillance Requirements 4.7.9.b, c, e, and f require testing to verify HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal.

Surveillance Requirement 4.7.9.d verifies: (1) the pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks, (2) that the ABFS starts on an SIS test signal, and (3) the heater dissipate 180 i 18 kW.

Currently, Surveillance Requirements 4.7.9.b and 4.7.9.d are required to be performed at least once per 18 months. NNECO is proposing to change this frequency to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months) . Changing the frequency of Surveillance Requirement 4.7.9.b and 4.7.9.d from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval does not change the basis for the frequency.

Surveillance Requirement 4.7.9.b contains additional requirements to perform the applicable verifications after any structural maintenance on the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housings, or following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system. These requirements are not being modified.

Also, the automatic actuation logic and relays responsible for starting the ABFS are required to be tested by Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 of the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications. Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 requires j monthly actuation logic tests and master relay tests, and quarterly slave relay tests for the safety injection automatic actuation logics and actuation relays to be conducted.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 9 July 17, 1995 Equipment performance over the last four operating cycles was evaluated to determine the impact of extending the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.7.9.b and 4.7.9.d. This evaluation included a review of surveillance results, preventive maintenance records, and the frequency and type of corrective maintenance. Table 2 provides a list of the equipment tested by Surveillance Requirements 4.7.9.b and  ;

4.7.9.d and are covered by Surveillance Procedures SP3614A.2, SP3646A.17, and SP3646A.18, and Maintenance Procedure SP3712I.

The summary of the surveillance test scope and results are provided below:

i

1. Laboratory Analysis of Auxiliary Building Charcoal Sample:

There were seven surveillances performed on Train 'A' and six on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance I acceptance criterion was met.

2. Auxiliary Building Filter System Flow Rate:

There were eight surveillances performed on Train 'A' and eight on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

3. Auxiliary Building Filter Bank Pressure Drop:

There were seven surveillances performed on Train 'A' and six on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

4. Auxiliary Building Charcoal Adsorber Penetrant and Bypass Leakage Test:

There were six surveillances performed on Train 'A' and seven on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

5. Auxiliary Building HEPA Filter Bank Leakage Test:

There were six surveillances performed on Train 'A' and ten on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

6. ABFS System Fan Start on SIS Signal With the Loss of Power:

There were seven surveillances performed on Train 'A' and six on Train 'B.' All Train A and B surveillance acceptance criteria, with the exception of one on each train, were met. The Train A failure was due to a power circuit that supplies power to an auxiliary circuit that

7. Auxiliary Building Filter Assembly Heaters: ,

i There were seven surveillances performed on Train.'A'.and  ;

six on Train ' B. In all the cases, the surveillance  :

also been ' reviewed. The corrective maintenance on the ,

equipment involved a variety of tasks, the majority of which l were involved with charcoal filter inspections and charcoal .j removal for analysis, air and motor operating damper j adjustments, hydrometer oil leak repairs, flow switch  !

modifications and adjustments, and pressure controller and instrument relay modifications and adjustments. The majority l of the charcoal filter inspection and charcoal removal for- l analysis tasks were done after a filter c'ompleted greater than 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> of run time. Taking into account the number of l surveillances performed, inservice testings, and enhancements-made~ to the auxiliary building ventilation -system in-  ;

conjunction with the SLCRS, the reliability, of the ABFS is l considered acceptable. Modifications made to the auxiliary ,

building ventilation system are evaluated below.-

The corrective maintenance performed does not indicate any generic ABFS problems. The highest number of actions involved the HEPA and charcoal filters. The corrective maintenance ,

tasks reviewed could be performed with the plant on line. '

I The preventive maintenance for the ABFS that is performed on an 18-month interval is limited to verifying the capacity of l the heaters in the filter housing units (3HVR*FLT1A&B). These heaters have passed their maintenance checks. Therefore, there is no indication that . extending the surveillance frequency would cause deterioration of these heaters, other preventive maintenance tasks are performed at intervals greater' than 18 months. For these tasks, the frequency can either be shortened, or the task can be performed at power.

Proper automatic operation of the ABFS exhaust fan'and its variable inlet vane was not properly established in the initial startup testing. On September 29, 1992, the 'B' train of the SLCRS was declared inoperable, after an in-depth review of timing sequence of the 'B' train ABFS fan coupled with a '

determination that the ABFS fans were required to assist the SLCRS. On September 29, 1992, a test was performed on the

l U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

! B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 11 July 17, 1995 SLCRS Train 'A' using actual accident timing sequences. The results showed that Train 'A' SLCRS did not achieve a 0.25 negative pressure within 50 seconds inside the secondary containment SLCRS. On October 31, 1992, a successful SLCRS i negative pressure drawdown test was performed followed by plant startup on November 4, 1992.  !

During the 1993 (Cycle 4) refueling outage, more extensive testing showed that the ABFS/SLCRS would not drawdown the secondary containment within 60 seconds. During the outage, the 18-month surveillance testing of the ABFS Train 'A' fan identified a delay in the start caused by an inherent design characteristic of the flow switch in the circuit. Design changes were made to the ABFS to allow specific equipment to start as soon as possible after a loss-of-power event coincident with an accident signal. Also, safety-related unit heaters were installed in the auxiliary building and winter /

summer system damper position and switchover dates were established. On October 24, 1993, a SLCRS/ABFS negative pressure drawdown was performed. These test results showed a negative pressure of 0.5 inches in water gauge at 120 seconds for both the A and B trains. In a letter dated November 4, 1993, NNECO proposed a license amendment to revise the technical specifications to state that the SLCRS must produce a negative pressure of greater than or equal to 0.4 inches

, water gauge as measured at the 24'6" elevation of the auxiliary l building within 120 seconds after a start signal. This i amendment was approved by the NRC followed by plant startup on November 7, 1993.

A PRA review of the proposed extension in the surveillance frequency concluded that the increase in public risk is negligible.

sienificant Hazards Consideratiori NNECO has reviewed the proposed changes in accordance with 10CFR50.92 and concluded that the changes do not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR50.92 (c) are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the changes would not:r

C. Supplementary Leak collection and Release System (SLCRS) safety 1ssessment The function of the SLCRS is to ensure that radioactive material' that leaks from'the primary containment into the secondary containment following a design basis accident (DBA) is filtered out and adsorbed prior to any release to the

- environment. To accomplish this, the SLCRS works 1 in conjunction with the auxiliary building filter ' system _(ABFS) to maintain a negative pressure within the secondary containment. The SLCRS collects a portion of' the primary containment leakage from the buildings contiguous to the containment, which house the various containment penetrations and the engineered safety -features ' equipment. circulating radioactive fluids. This volume is then filtered and released to the atmosphere through the Millstone Unit No. 1 stock.

The SLCRS is comprised of two exhaust fans (each supplied from a separate. emergency bus), two filter banks (each consisting of a moisture separator, electric heater, prefilter, upstream HEPA filter, a charcoal adsorber, and a downstream HEPA filter), ductwork, and dampers. The SLCRS was designed to perform its intended safety function even with a single failure of an active component.

During normal operations, the SLCRS does not normally operate.

In the event of a DBA, it and the ABFS start on a receipt of a safety injection signal.

The operability of the SLCRS is verified by Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.a through f. Surveillance Requirement 4.6.6.1.a requires, that the SLCRS;be demonstrated operable at least once per 31 days on a staggered test basis, by initiating, from the control room, flow through the HEPA

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 14 July 17, 1995 filters and charcoal adsorbers, verifying the flow rate, and operating the system for a minimum period of time.

Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.b, c, e, and f require testing to verify HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal. Surveillance Requirement 4.6.6.1.d verifies 1) the pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks, 2) that the SLCRS starts on a safety injection test signal, 3) the production of a negative pressure of greater than or equal to 0.4 inch water gauge in the auxiliary building within 120 seconds after a start signal, and 4) the heaters dissipate 50 i 5 kW. .

l.

Currently, Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.b and d are required to be performed at least once per 18 months. NNECO is proposing to change this frequency to at least once each refueling interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). Changing the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.b and 4.6.6.1.d from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval does not change the basis for the frequency.

Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.1.b contains additional requirements to perform the applicable verifications after any structural maintenance on the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housings, or following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system. These ,

I requirements are not being modified.

Also, the automatic actuation logic and relays responsible for ,

i starting the SLCRS are required to be tested by Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 of the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications. Surveillance Requirement 4.3.2.1 requires monthly actuation logic tests and master relay tests and quarterly slave relay tests for the safety injection automatic actuation logics and actuation relays be conducted.

Equipment performance over the last four operating cycles was evaluated to determine the impact of extending the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4. 6. 6.1.b and 4.6.6.1.d. This evaluation included a review of surveillance results, preventive maintenance records, and the frequency and type of corrective maintenance. Table 1 provides a listing of the equipment tested by Surveillance Requirements 4. 6. 6.1.b and 4.6.6.1.d.

For the surveillances conducted to satisfy Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.b and d, the SLCRS have passid ~each of the surveillances except two. On July 23, 1990, he\B ' train of the SLCRS failed two surveillances. One of these 4ai-lures was due ,

to running the surveillance with 3HVR*DMPR13B locked and wired I open, while the other failure was attributed to having the main steam valve building dampers 3HVV* MOD 51A, B, C, and D open I

i U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 15 July 17, 1995 1

during test. A follow-up surveillance test on the same day was performed with acceptable results. Recent successful SLCRS negative pressure surveillances were performed on train 'B' after completing boundary work on March 6, 1995, and on train

'A' and 'B' nearing the completion of RFOS on May 30, 1995.

In addition, each system train of SLCRS and ABVS and its equipment is proven operable based on a required staggered monthly surveillance. The surveillance verifies fan start, flow through HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers, system flow rate and heater operation. Based on these results, the i reliability of the SLCRS is considered to be high.

Taking into account the number of surveillances performed, inservice testings and enhancements made to the auxiliary building ventilation system in conjunction with the SLCRS, there is a high level of confidence that the SLCRS will be operational to provide its safety-related function and t ie reliability of the SLCRS is considered acceptable.

Modifications made to the auxiliary building ventilation system are evaluated in the safety assessment of surveillance extension for the auxiliary building filter system (i.e.,

Specification 3.7.9).

In Amendment No. 87,m the acceptance criteria for Surveillance Requirement 4.6.6.1.d.3 was revised. In October 1993, a series of tests were conducted which confirmed that the SCLRS in conjunction with the ABFS would be able to drawdown the secondary containment to a negative pressure greater than or equal to 0.4 inches water gauge within 120 seconds following a safety injection signal.

The corrective maintenance performed on the SLCRS equipment included the inspection and repair of dampers and seals, the investigation of low system flow, the removal and analyzing of charcoal, the removal and replacement of HEPA filters, and the investigation of removal of damper fusible links. To improve the operation of the SLCRS, the fan wheel from 3HVR*FN12A/B was replaced with an increased diameter with the same design. The new wheel provides a broader operability range for the fan. r No flow irregularities have been identified since the modification. The corrective maintenance performed does not indicate any generic SLCRS problems. The highest number of actions involved the HEPA and charcoal filters. The corrective maintenance tasks reviewed could be performed with the plant on line.

The preventive maintenance for the SLCRS that is performed on I an 18-month interval is limited to verifying the capacity of the heaters in the filter housing units (3HVR*FLT3A&B). These heaters have passed their maintenance checks. Therefore, there is no indication that extending the surveillance frequency would cause deterioration of these heaters. Other preventive maintenance tasks are performed at intervals greater than 18 months. For these tasks, the frequency can either be shortened, or the task can be performed at power.

A PRA review of the proposed extension in the surveillance frequency concluded that the increase in public risk is negligible.

Sionificant Hazards Consideration NNECO has reviewed the proposed changes in accordance with 10CFR50.92 and concluded that the changes do not involve an SHC. The basis for this conclusion is that the three criteria of 10CFR50.92 (c) are not compromised. The proposed changes do not involve an SHC because the changes would not:

1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.b and 4.6.6.1.d of the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications extend the frequency for conducting several verifications of the operability of the SLCRS. Changing the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.6.6.1.b and 4.6.6.1.d from at least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling interval does not change the basis for the frequency. Surveillance Requirement 4.6.6.1.b contains additional requirements to perform the applicable verifications after any structural maintenance on the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housings, or following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system.

These requirements will not be modified.

The proposed changes do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, do not involve any physical changes to the plant, do not alter the way any structure, system, or component functions, and do not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. As  ;

such, the proposed changes in the frequency of '

Surveillance Requirements 4. 6. 6.1.b and 4. 6. 6.1.d will not degrade the ability of the SLCRS from performing its safety function.

D. Fuel Buildincr Exhaust Filter System Safety Assessment The fuel building ventilation system is designed to maintain a suitable environment for equipment operation and to limit potential radioactive release to the atmosphere during normal operation and postulated fuel handling accident conditions.

The system consists of a nonsafety-related air supply system i . . i r . .. .,

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 19 l' July 17, 1995 and one safety-related and one nonsafety-related exhaust system.

The supply air system includes three nonsafety-related 50 percent capacity heating and ventilation units, nonsafety-related modulating damper, safety-related fuel building isolation damper, and nonsafety-related spent fuel pool area air heater.

The safety-related exhaust system consists of two redundant 100 percent capacity filter assemblies and associated exhaust fans and isolation damper. Prior to Amendment 105, Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) for the fuel building exhaust filter system required that the two independent systems shall be operable whenever the irradiated fuel is in the storage pool. In addition, the LCO required that at least one fuel building exhaust filter system shall be in operation whenever any evolution involving movement of fuel within the storage pool or crane operations with loads over the storage pool is in progress. This applicability requirement has been revised via License Amendment 105. Specifically, the fuel building exhaust filter system is now required to be operable whenever irradiated fuel with less than 60 days decay is in the storage pool. Therefore, the operation of this system during fuel handling is not required unless the irradiated fuel with less than 60 days decay is in the storage pool.

Surveillance Requirement 4.9.12.b demonstrates the operability of the fuel building exhaust filter system by: (1) verifying that it satisfies in-place penetration and bypass leakage testing acceptance criteria, (2) verifying, within 31 days of removal, that a laboratory analysis of a representative carbon sample meets its acceptance criterion, and (3) verifying a system flow rate of 20,700 cfm 10 percent during system operation.

Surveillance Requirement 4.9.12.d demonstrates the operability of the fuel building exhaust filter system by: (1) verifying '

the pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers at operating system flow rate, (2) verifying that the j system is capable of maintaining the spent fuel area at a l negative pressure of greater than or equal to 1/4 inch of water gauge (WG) relative to the outside atmosphere during system operation, and (3) verifying that the heaters dissipate specified kW when tested.

The above surveillances are required to be performed at least once per 18 months. NNECO is proposing to extend the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.9.12.b and 4.9.12.d from at j least once per 18 months to at least once each refueling '

interval (i.e., nominal 24 months). Surveillance Requirement

I U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission B15263/ Attachment 4/Page 20 July 17, 1995 l 4.9.12.b contains additional requirements to perform the applicable' verifications after any structural maintenance on the HEPA filter or charcoal adsorber housings, or the following 1 painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system. These requirements are not being modified.

The proposed change to Surveillance Requirement 4.9.12.2 merely makes the surveillance consistent with the Applicability Section of Specification 3.9.12. No other changes are proposed. Therefore, the change to Surveillance Requirement 4.9.12.2 has no impact on the plant safety.

The proposed changes to Surveillance Requirements 4.9.12.b and 4.9.12.d do not alter the intent or method by which the surveillances are conducted, do not involve any physical changes to the plant, do not alter the way any structure, system, or component functions, and do not modify the manner in which the plant is operated. As such, the proposed changes to the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.9.12.b and

4. 9.12.d will not degrade the ability of the fuel building exhaust filter system to perform its function.

Equipment performance over the last four operating cycles was evaluated to determine the impact of extending the frequency of Surveillance Requirements 4.9.12.b and 4.9.12.d. This evaluation includes a review of surveillance results, preventive maintenance records, and the frequency and type of corrective maintenance. The components covered under Surveillance Requirements 4.9.12.b and 4.9.12.d are shown on Table 2. The summary of the surveillance test scope and results are provided below:

1. In-place Penetration and Bypass Leakage Testing:

There were five surveillances performed on Train 'A' and five on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

2. Fuel Building Exhaust Filter System Charcoal Analysis:

There were five surveillances performed on Train 'A' and five on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance acceptance criterion was met.

3. Fuel Building Exhaust Filter System Flow Rate:

successfully.  ;

6. Fuel Building Exhaust Filter Assembly Heaters: .

There were seven surveillances performed on Train 'A' and  !

seven on Train 'B.' In all the cases, the surveillance'  !

criterion was met. -

The results of the review of the past. corrective: maintenance.

on the equipment do not suggest .that an extension of the interval between testing would have. . an adverse affect on-safety.

The only preventive maintenance required for the system on an 18 month frequency'is the check of the power dissipation'by the - i electrical heaters. This is covered by Surveillance 1 Requirement 4.9.12.d(3) on an 18 month basis. In addition, the results of the review of the preventive maintenance 'on the i equipment do not - suggest that an extension of the interval i between testing would have an adverse affect on safety.
