SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI) CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR THE NORTH ANNA INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL ,

STORAGE INSTALLATION (TAC NO. L22113)

Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:

- By letter dated May 9,1995, you submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory '

Commission in accordance with 10 CFR Part 72 for the review and approval of a siteispecific  ;

license for an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at the North Anna Nuclear Power Station site. Your application included proposed technical specifications (TS) for the North Anna ISFSI.

- - The staff continues to review your proposed TS and is considering an initiative to modify ISFSI . '

' TS to be consistent with the form and content of the improved Standard Technical

, Specifications (ITS) for operating reactors. As part of this initiative, the staff has reformatted f Virginia Power's proposed North Anna ISFSI TS according to the ITS format. A copy of the ~ '

, staff's draft reformatted North Anna ISFSI TS is enclosed.

, The staff is continuing an aggressive internal review of the reformatted TS, drawing on staff ,

experience gained with the operating reactor ITS program. The staff requests that you review

> the enclosed reformatted TS and provide comments and proposed changes regarding both form .

and content by January 30,1998, in addition, please prepare appropriate TS bases using the depth of detail and format of the ITS bases as a guide.

If you have any comment or question concerning this request, please contact me at 301-415-1309.

. . Logical Connectors

• - . 1,2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors 4

PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.

, Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Re Surveillances,and quired Actions. Completion Times,The only logical c Frequencies.

that appear in TS are BlQ and 2. The physical arrangement of these connectors constitutes -logical conventions with specific meanings.

BACKGROUND Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions. These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action. The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the . logical connector in the first level of nesting (i.e., left justified with the number of the Required Action). The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors.

When logical connectors are used to state a Condition.

Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors.

A.2 is chosen then both A.2.1 and A.2.2 must be performed as indicated by the logical connector MiQ.

Required Action A.2.2 is met by performing A.2.2.1 or A.2.2.2, The indented position of the logica: connector

@ indicates that A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed.

I

' PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.  :

BACKGROUND LimitingConditionsforOperation(LCOs)specifyminimum.  :

requirements for er.suringaafe operation of the unit. The ACTIONS associated with an LC0 state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the .

LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action (s) and Completion Times (s).

DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time <

of discovery of a situatun (e.g., inoperable equipment or  !

variable not within limits) that requires entering an '

ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the unit is in a specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the unit is not

-within the 100 Applicability. ,

Once a Condition has been entered subsequent divisions.

Subsystems. components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be inoperable or not within limits.

will ng1 result in separate entry into the Condition unless .

specifically stated. The Recuired Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each adcitional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.

1.3 Completion Times DESCRIPTION However, when a subseauent division, subsystem, component.

(continued) or variable expre.ssed in the Condition is discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, the Completion. Time (s) may be extended. To apply this Completion Time extension. two criteria must first be met. The subsequent inoperability:

a. Must exist concurrent with the ,tjrit inoperability:

, and

b. Must remain inoperable or not within limits after the first inoperability is resolved.

The total Completion Time allowed for completing a Required Action to address the subsequent inoperability shall be y

limited to the more restrictive of either:

. a. The stated Completion Time. as measured from the initial entry into the Condition, plus an additional i

or

b. The stated Completion Time as measured from discovery of the subsequent inoperability.

The above Completion Time extension does not ap)1y to a Completion Time with a modified " time zero." T11s modified

" time zero" may be ex)ressed as a repetitive time (1-.e..

Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency I PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements.

DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the 1

associated Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO). An understanding of the correct application of the specified frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR. . ,

The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0.

Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency  ;

column of each SR, as well as certain Notes in the  :

Surveillance column that modify performance requirements.

Sometimes special situations dictate when the requirements of a Surveillance are to be met. They are "otherwise stated" conditions allowed by SR 3.0.1. They may be stated as clarifying Notes in the Surveillance, as part of the Surveillance, or both. Example 1.4-4 discusses these

special situations.

Situations where a Surveillance could be required (i.e., its Frequency coula expire), but where it is not possible or not desired that it be performed until sometime after the associated LCO is within its Applicability, represent potential SR 3.0.4 conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, the SR (i.e., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only " required" when it can be and should be performed. With an SR sotisfied. SR 3.0.4 imposes no restriction.

The use of " met" or " performed" in these instances conveys specific meanings. A Surveillance is " met" only when the acceptance criteria are satisfied. Known failure of the

. requirements of a Surveillance, even without a Surveillance specifically"being " performed." constitutes a Surveillance not " met." Performance" refers only to the requirement to specifica'ly determine the ability to meet the acceptance

v o Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency DESCRI." TION criteria. SR 3.0.4 restrictions would not apply if both the (continued) following conditior.s are satisfied:

a. The Surveillance is not required to be performed; and

b. The Surveillance is not required to be met or, even if required to be met is not known to be failed.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY ,

Perform CHANNEL CHECK. 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Example 1.4 1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time.

Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the interval specified in the frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met aer SR 3.0.1 (such as when the equipment is inoperaale, a variable is outside specified limits, or the unit is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the unit is in a condition specified in the Applicability of vne LCO.

and the performance of the Surveillance is not otherwise modified (refer to Examples 1.4 3 and 1.4 4), then SR 3.0.3 becomes applicable.

(continued)

North Anna 1.4-2 Amendment No.

Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES' EXAMPLE 1 4 1 (continued)

If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the unit is not in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO for which performance of the SR is required, the Surveillance must be performed within the Frequency requirements of SR 3.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 3.0.4.

24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter Example 1.4-2 has two Frecuencies. The first is a one time performance Frequency, anc the second is of the type showT) in Example 1.4 1. The logical connector "E" indicates that both Frequency requirements must be met. Each time the example activity is to be performed, the Surveillance must be performed within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> prior to starting the activity.

The use of "once" indicates a single performance will satisfy the specified Frequency (assuming no other Frequencies ~are connected by " E "). This t pe of Frequency does not qualify for the extension allowed b SR 3.0.2.

I Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.4 2 (continued)

"Thereafter" indicates future performances must be established per SR 3.0.2. but only after a specified condition is first met (i.e., the "once" performance in this example).
