The mini-purge isolation valves will remain closed to the maximum extent practicable but may be open for pressure control, for ALARA, for respirable air quality considerations for personnel entry, for surveillance tests that may require the valve to be open or other safety related reasons.Amendment No.9,18 3.6-2 Proposed 1 t t a II\If 4 II'0 1 tf t, t Basis: The reactor coolant system conditions of cold shutdown assure that no steam will be formed and hence there would be no pressure buildup in the containment if the reactor coolant system ruptures.The shutdown margins are selected based on the type of activities that are being carried out.The (2000 ppm)boron concentration provides shutdown margin which precludes criticality under any circumstances.
When the reactor head is not to be removed, a cold shutdown margin of 1%~k/k precludes criticality in any occurrence.
Regarding internal pressure limitations, the containment design pressure of 60 psig would not be exceeded if the internal pressure before a major steam break accident were as much as 1 psig.<'>The containment is designed to withstand an internal vacuum of 2.5 psig.~The 2.0 psig vacuum is specified as an operating limit to avoid any difficulties with motor cooling.In order to minimize containment leakage during a design basis accident involving a significant fission product release, penetrations not required for accident mitigation are provided with isolation boundaries.
These isolation boundaries consist of either passive devices or active automatic valves and are listed in a procedure under the control of Technical Specification 6.8.Closed manual valves, deactivated automatic valves secured in their closed position (including check valves with flow through the valve secured), blind flanges and closed systems are considered passive devices.Automatic isolation valves designed to close following an accident without operator action, are considered active devices.Two isolation devices are provided for each mechanical penetration, such that no single credible failure or malfunction of an active component can cause a loss of isolation, or result in a leakage rate that exceeds limits assumed in the safety analyses~'>.
In the event that one isolation boundary is inoperable, the affected penetration must be isolated with at least one boundary that is notaffected by a single active failure.Isolation boundaries that meet this criterion are a closed and deactivated automatic containment isolation valve, a closed manual valve, or a blind flange.The opening of closed containment isolation valves on an intermittent basis under administrative control includes the following considerations:
(1)stationing an individual qualified in accordance with station procedures, who is in constant communication with the control room, at the valve controls, (2)instructing this individual to close these valves in an accident, situation, and (3)assuring that environmental conditions will not preclude access to isolate the boundary and that this action will prevent the release of radioactivity outside the containment.

for a fuel handling accident inside containment establishes acceptable offsite limiting doses following rupture of all rods of an assembly operated at peak power.No credit is taken for containment isolation or effluent filtration prior to release.Requiring closure of penetrations which provide direct access from containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere establishes additional margin for the, fuel handling accident and establishes a seismic envelope to protect against the potential consequences of seismic events during refueling.
Isolation of these penetrations may be achieved by an OPERABLE shutdown purge or mini-purge valve, blind flange, or isolation valve.An OPERABLE shutdown purge or mini-purge valve is capable of being automatically isolated by Rll or R12.Penetrations which do not provide direct access from containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere support containment integrity by either a closed system, necessary isolation valves, or a material which can provide a temporary ventilation barrier, at atmospheric pressure, for the containment penetrations during fuel movement.Amendment No.3.8-5 Proposed I~)J i r',~(~.P, Re f erences (1)UFSAR Sections 9.1.4.4 and 9.1.4.5 (2)Reload Transient Safety Report, Cycle 14 (3)UFSAR Section 15.7.3.3 3.8-6 Proposed I~~x'i Acce tance Criteria a 0 b.The leakage rate Ltm shall be<0.75 Lt at Pt.Pt is defined as the containment vessel reduced test pressure which is greater than or equal to 35 psig.Ltm is defined as the total measured containment leakage rate at pressure Pt.Lt is defined as the maximum allowable leakage rate at pressure Pt.I PC i~I~Lt shall be determined as Lt=LalzaJ which equals.1528 percent weight per day at 35 psig.Pa is defined as the calculated peak containment internal pressure related to design basis accidents which is greater than or equal to 60 psig.La is defined as the maximum allowable leakage rate at Pa which equals.2 percent weight per day.c~The leakage rate at Pa (Lam)shall be<0.75 La.Lam is defined as the total measured containment leakage rate at pressure Pa.Test Fre uenc a~A set of three integrated leak rate tests shall be performed at approximately equal intervals during each 10-year service period.The third test of.each set shall be conducted in the final year of the 10-year service period or one year before or after the final year of the 10-year service period provided: 1~iii the interval between any two Type A tests does not exceed four years, following each in-service inspection, the containment airlocks, the steam generator inspection/maintenance penetration, and the equipment hatch are leak tested prior to returning the plant to operation, and any repair, replacement, or modification of a containment barrier resulting from the inservice inspections shall be followed by the appropriate leakage test.4~4 4 Proposed

~~<<<<
The Specification also allows for possible deterioration of the leakage rate between-tests, by-requiring'-that the total=-measured leakage rate be only 75%of the maximum allowable leakage rate.The duration and methods for the integrated, leakage rate test established by ANSI N45.4-1972 provide a minimum level of accuracy and allow for daily cyclic variation in temp'erature and thermal radiation.
The frequency of the integrated leakage rate test is keyed to the refueling schedule for the reactor, because these tests can best be performed during refueling shutdowns.
Refueling s shutdowns are scheduled at approximately one year intervals.
The specified frequency of integrated leakage rate tests is based on three major considerations.
First is-the low probability of leaks in the liner, because of (a)the use of weld channels to test the leaktightness of the welds during erection, (b)conformance of the complete containment to a 0.1%per day leak rate at 60 psig during preoperational testing, and (c)absence of any significant stresses in the liner during reactor operation.
Second is the more frequent testing, at the full accident pressure, of those portions of the containment envelope that are most likely to develop leaks during reactor operation (penetrations and isolation valves)and the low value (0.60 La)of the total leakage that is specified as acceptable.
Third is the tendon stress surveillance program, which provides assurance than an important part of the structural integrity of the containment is maintained.
4.4-13 Proposed I I 1~k a.~1.,~'i~0'I I" I g 4 n'f 4 t' The basis for specification of a total leakage of 0.60 La from'pen'etrations and isolation boundaries is that only a'portion,of, the'allowable integrated leakage rate should be from.those.sources,in order to provide assurance that the integrated leakage rate would remain within the specified limits during the intervals between integrated leakage rate tests.Because most leakage during an integrated leak rate test occurs though penetrations and isolation valves, and because for most penetrations and isolation valves a smaller leakage rate would result from an integrated leak test than from a local test, adequate assurance of maintaining the integrated leakage rate within the specified limits is provided.The limiting leakage rates from the Recirculation Heat Removal Systems are judgement values based primarily on assuring that the components could operate without mechanical failure for a period on the order of 200 days after a design basis accident.The test 4.4-14 Proposed I I'I J~i ci<w~Q i I T he pre-stress confirmation test provides a direct measure of the load-carrying capability of the tendon.If the surveillance program indicates by extensive wire breakage or tendon stress relation that the pre-stressing tendons are not behaving as expected, the situation will be evaluated immediately.
The specified acceptance criteria are such as to alert attention to the situation well before the tendon load-carrying capability would deteriorate to a point that failure during a design basis accident might be possible.Thus the cause of the incipient deterioration could be evaluated and corrective action studied without need to shut down the reactor.The containment is provided with two readily removable tendons that might be useful to such a study.In addition, there are 40 tendons, each containing a removable wire which will be used to monitor for possible corrosion effects.Operability of the containment isolation boundaries ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmosphere or pressurization of the containment.
Performance of cycling tests and verification of isolation times associated with automatic containment isolation valves is covered by the Pump and Valve Test Program.Compliance with Appendix J to 10 CFR 50 is addressed under local leak testing requirements.

ATTACHMENT B Safety Evaluation I vj C,'4'I Attachment B Pago 1 of 4The primary purpose of this amendment is to remove Table 3.6-1,"Containment Isolation Valves", from the R.E.Ginna Technical Specifications.
The reference to Table 3.6-1 in Technical Specification sections 3.6.3.1, 4.4.5.1, and 4.4.6.2 will be deleted.The bases for Technical Specification 3.6 will include a statement that the listing of containment isolation valves and boundaries will be maintained in a procedure under the controls of Technical Specification 6.8.In addition, the inoperability definition and action required statement for Technical Specifications 3.6.1 and 3.6.3.1 will be clarified.
The Specifications and Bases for containment integrity during refueling operations (3.8.1 section a and 3.8.3)will be revised to make them more consistent, with industry standards.
Technical Specifications 4.4.1.5, section a (ii)and 4.4.2.4, section b, will be revised to include the modified steam generator inspection/maintenance penetration.
Technical Specification 4.4.1.5, section a (ii)and the Bases for section 4.4 will also be clarified.
The temporary notes associated with the shutdown purge system and mini-purge valves (Technical Specifications 3.6.5 and 4.4.2.4 section a and d)will be removed since the necessary flanges and valves have been installed.
Also, the acceptance criteria for containment leakage criteria as listed in Technical Specification 4.4.1.4 and 4.4.2.2 will be clarified.
The 1988 Inservice Test (IST)Program provided a complete review of the containment isolation valves for Ginna and their testing requirements.
The information obtained during this review was submitted to the NRC to define the IST requirements for the third ten-year interval at Ginna.This submittal was subsequently approved by the NRC.As a result of this submittal and approval, numerous clarifications were required of Technical Specification Table 3.6-1 and various plant documents.
However, this amendment will remove Technical Specification Table 3.6-1.Generic Letter 91-08 provides guidance on removing component lists from technical specifications, including the table of containment isolation valves, since their removal would not alter the requirements that are applied to these components.
Removing Table 3.6-1 from the Technical Specifications and incorporating the required information into station procedures will maintain the listing of the containment isolation boundaries within a licensee controlled document.This listing is currently maintained in Procedure A-3.3 which is subject to the change control provisions of Technical Specification 6.8 as required by Generic Letter 91-08.A copy of Procedure A-3.3 is provided in Attachment D.
1 V+t 44 V 0 w>g.h 4~I I g l),ag Attachment B Page 2 of 4 Generic Letter 91-08 also provided instructions to add a note to the containment isolation valve LCO with respect to opening locked or sealed closed.containment.isolation.valves under-administrative control.A note related to"closed valves" only was added to Technical Specification
3.6.1 since
many test connections that are'required to be open dur'ing power operation for testing purposes are not locked closed at Ginna Station.These valves are maintained closed by system lineup procedures and"containment isolation boundary" control tags and verified closed by operator walkdowns.
This provides equivalent protection to locking devices since all plant personnel are trained with respect to the use of equipment control tags.A discussion of the necessary administrative controls required for opening these valves was also added to the bases for Technical Specification
3.6 consistent
with GL 91-08.The remaining changes with respect to the required actions of Technical Specification 3.6.3.1 allow consistency with Standard Technical Specifications.
However,"isolation boundary" was used in place of"isolation valve" since not all penetrations have two containment isolation valves.For example, penetrations under the specifications for General Design Criteria 57 only require a single isolation valve;the piping provides an additional boundary.The use of"isolation boundary" is also consistent with the column headings of the current Containment Isolation Valve Table 3.6-1.Information on what qualifies as an"isolation boundary" is provided in the bases for Technical Specification 3.6.These criteria are consistent with the necessary General Design Criteria, or exemption, as appropriate."Isolation boundary" was also used in place of"isolation valve" in Technical Specifications 4.4.2.2, 4.4.2.3, and the Bases for section 4.4.The inoperability definition based on leakage for containment isolation boundaries was also removed from Technical Specification 3.6.3.1.This definition is found in Technical Specification 4.4.2.3 which was subsequently updated to make it more consistent with 10 CFR 50 Appendix J.This change eliminates duplication within the Technical Specifications and is consistent, with Standard Technical Specifications.
The action statement associated with Technical Specification
3.8.1 section
a was modified to make it more nearly consistent with Standard Technical Specifications.
The most significant change was with respect to removing the requirement of having all automatic containment isolation valves operable during refueling operations.
The proposed specification now only requires that all penetrations providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere be either isolated or capable of being isolated by an automatic purge valve.This change is considered acceptable since a fuel handling accident will not, significantly pressurize the containment.
In addition, the fuel handling accident analyzed for Ginna does not take credit for isolation of containment while remaining well within 10 CFR 100 guidelines (UFSAR Section 15.7.3.3.1.1).
Therefore, the removal of this requirement does not affect the consequences of a fuel handling accident.
l t l~4 ij s au<r', gg Q4~Ci 4 All 4*<<~<ac"~~Qt.w'J.1 T t j V<"'l U Attachment B Page 3 of 4 The changes to Technical Specification 3.8.3 now specifically identify which penetrations must be closed if there is no residual heat removal loop-'in service (i.e.,'shutdown"purge.-and mini-purge).
The remaining penetrations that provide direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere are already required to be isolated during refueling operations per new Technical Specification
3.8.1 section
a (iii).The changes to the bases are consistent with Standard Technical Specifications.
Consequently, these are not technical changes.The changes with respect to containment leakage criteria in Technical Specification 4.4.1.4 are clarifications only.All terms contained in the definition for Lt is specified in the Technical Specifications consistent with 10 CFR 50 Appendix J.The addition of the steam generator inspection/maintenance penetration to both the UFSAR Table and the necessary Technical Specification surveillance requirements is the result of a modification to enhance containment closure during mid-loop operation-(Generic.
Letter 88-17).No new containment isolation valves were added as a result of this modification.
The addition of this penetration to the UFSAR Table and Technical Specifications 4.4.1.5, section a (ii)and 4.4.2.4, section b, results in the new penetration to be treated consistent with respect to the Personnel and Equipment Hatches, and the fuel transfer tube (see letter from R.C.Mecredy, RGRE, to A.R.Johnson, NRC, dated March 13, 1990).The first line of Technical Specification 4.4.1.5, section a (ii)is also modified to state"following each in-service inspection..." The hyphenation of"in-service" is'to correct a typographical error only.The replacement of"one" with"each" provides greater understanding of the test frequency requirements.
These changes are a minor clarification only and do not involve a technical change.The temporary notes associated with the purge and mini-purge valves in Technical Specifications 3.6.5, 4.4.2.4 section a and d are removed since the shutdown purge flanges and mini-purge valves have been installed.
This is not a technical change since the notes were only intended to be applicable until the completion of the necessary modifications.
Technical Specifications 4.4.5.1 and 4.4.6.2 were revised to remove the reference to Table 3.6-1 since this is being deleted.-These specifications were also changed to make them consistent with Standard Technical Specifications.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, these changes to the Technical Specifications have been evaluated to determine if the operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would: 1.involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or 2.create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident previously evaluated; or 3.involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
~~~'~,l~~I' IJ I Attachment B Pago 4 of 4These proposed changes do not increase the probability or consequences of a previously evaluated accident or create a new or different type of accident.Furthermore, there is no reduction in'the margin of safety for any particular Technical Specification.
The detailed changes are described in, Attachment E.Therefore, Rochester Gas and Electric submits that the issues associated with this Amendment request are outside the criteria of 10 CFR 50.91;and a no significant hazards finding is warranted.

Licensees are only required to update the FSAR annually, and they are only required to reflect changes made 6 months before the date of filing.Thus, the FSAR may be out of date by as much as 18 months...".Your Safety Evaluation does not address what TS controlled procedure covers this list of containment isolation valves.~Res ense The listing of containment isolation valves is now maintained in Ginna Station Procedure A-3.3.This procedure is subject to Technical Specification
6.8 which

However, this does not reflect the Standard Technical Specifications (STS)requirement.
STS 3.6.3.C states: '"Isolate the affected penetration flow path by use of at least one closed and de-acti vated automatic valve, closed manual valve, or blind flange.(4-hour completion time)Verify the affected penetration flow path is isolated (once per 31 days)" Therefore, the proposed change to TS 3.6.3.C is not acceptable.
RGGE has"removed-the previously submitted TS 3.6.3.C with respect to the interim use of a closed system as an acceptable boundary for a failed containment isolation valve.TS 3.6.3 is now consistent with Standard Technical Specifications.
4.The term"Isolation Valve" is used in the proposed Bases Section of 4.4 (page 4.4-14), according to the SE, should have been replaced with the term"Isolation Boundary." Res onse: The term"Isolation Valve" is correct for this section of the Bases since most containment leakage observed during testing at Ginna Station and throughout the nuclear industry is through isolation valves and not through passive containment barriers such as blind flanges.Consequently, the bases section was not changed.Proposed TS 3.6.1.a states,"Closed valves may be opened on an intermittent basis under administrative control." Generic Letter 91-08 and your safety evaluation refer to"Locked or Seal Closed containment isolation valves" not j ust"closed valves." Should proposed TS 3.6.1.a be referring to locked or seal closed CIVs?
I%>>'tiV,'L'4 lsk1 I Attachment C Page 3 of 17 Res onse: .The'""locked or"=sealed" closed" terminology"was not" used-in TS 3.6;l.a since several test connections that.may.be-required,to be opened during power operation-for testing.purposes are,.not locked'"'closed at Ginna Station.These valves are-administratively

I P A-3.3:2 3.0 The containment integrity program is designed to provide assurance that the necessary containment isolation boundaries are available for all required plant conditions.
This program is organized to address three plant conditions:
a.Containment Integrity during Refueling.
3.2 b.Containment Integrity during Reduced RCS Inventory.
c.Containment Integrity above Cold Shutdown.The requirements for each of these conditions is discussed below.Containment Integrity during Refueling.
3.2.1 During
plant conditions requiring containment integrity for refueling, each penetration must have a single barrier to the release of radioactive material.This single barrier may consist of any one of the following alternatives:
a.A closed system inside or outside containment such that a"direct access" release path to the outside of containment atmosphere is not provided.b.A closed isolation valve (including check valve with flow secured), blind flange or manual valve.c.An automatic isolation valve that closes on a Containment Ventilation Isolation (CVI)signal from high containment radioactivity.
3.2.2 In addition to the requirements above, Technical Specification
3.8 requires
that"...all automatic containment isolation valves shall be operable or at least one valve in each line shall be locked closed." Since the normal containment isolation signal is not available during the refueling mode of operation, for those penetrations with automatic isolation valves, those valves must be capable of being closed remotely.If those valves are not capable of being closed remotely (i.e.inoperable) thence affected penetration must be isolated by a locked closed manual valve or blind flange.If a manual valve or blind flange is not available, then a held closed auto valve (per A-1401)with motive power removed provides equivalent isolation.
3.2.3 It h not intended that the barriers provided for containment isolation during refueling be restricted to barriers tested to the requirements of Appendix I to 10CFR50.The basis for refueling integrity is to prevent the release of radioactivity resulting from a fuel handling event during refueling operations.
Since there is no potential for containment pressurization, any device which provides an atmospheric pressure boundary is sufficient.
3.2.4 Containment
integrity for refueling is verified through performance of 0-15,2 and 0-15.7.
A-3.3:3 Containment Integrity During Reduced RCS Inventory.
Containment integrity during reduced inventory conditions is provided by maintaining available one barrier for each penetration.
Since there is a potential for containment pressurization during loss of core cooling, this barrier should be one of the two barriers used for normal containment isolation with RCS greater than 200'F.All penetrations are required to be capable of being closed within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> following a loss of RHR.This 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> time frame can be extended if the time to reach saturation and core uncovery is increased due to low decay heat levels.3.3.2 Containment integrity during reduced RCS inventory is verified through performance of 0-2.3.1A.3.4 Containment Integrity above Cold Shutdown including normal power operation.
3.4.1 Reference
2.4 provides the design basis for the containment isolation configuration and testing.Any change to this procedure, including Attachment A, must be reviewed by Nuclear Safety and Licensing.
3.4.2 Attachment
A provides a listing for each penetration of the valves and other boundaries required for containment integrity above cold shutdown.These boundaries are leak tested per Appendix J to 10CFR50 except where specific exemptions have been approved.This table is organized as follows: 3.4.2.1~~~5ggm-description of the system which penetrates containment.
3.4.2.2 3.4.2.3 3.4.2.4-unique identification number for the penetration.
-containment isolation valves or boundaries for the penetration.
d i'fh b are available for each penetration.
This is used since many process lines have multiple branch lines prior to entering or exiting containment.
The first character defines the branch line which the containment isolation valve or boundary isolates.The second character defines the isolation barrier which the valve provides (i.e., first or second).As an example, Penetration 107 lists the following containment boundaries:
1723 1728 al a2 AOV 1723 is one containment barrier while AOV 1728 is a second barrier.Above cold shutdown, both valves must be operable and capable of being closed.If AOV 1723 were inoperable, then AOV 1728 is the preferred valve to be closed in accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.3.Conversely, AOV 1723 is the preferred valve to be closed if AOV 172&were inoperable.
I C' A-3.3:4 As an example of penetrations with multiple branch lines, Penetration 124b lists the following containment boundaries:
1572 1573 1574 al a2 a2 Above cold shutdown, all three valves must be operable and capable of being closed.If manual valve 1572 were inoperable, then BOTH manual valves 1573 and 1574 must be closed in accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.3.However, if 1573 were inoperable, only 1572 must be closed (valve 1574 is not affected).

Therefore, the innermost gasket for each flange (i.e., gasket closest to containment wall)provides a single containment barrier.This valve is not a containment isolation valve due to the installed downstream welded flange, but is normally maintained locked closed to provide additional assurance of containment integrity.
The end of the fuel transfer tube inside containment is closed by a double-gasketed blind flange to prevent leakage of spent fuel pit water into the containment during plant operation.
Each gasket provides a single containment isolation barrier.This flange also serves as protection against leakage from the containment following a loss-of-coolant accident.(4)(5)(6)(8)The charging system is a closed system outside containment (CLOG).Verification of this closed system as a containment isolation boundary is accomplished via normal system operation (>>2235 psig).The safety infection system is a closed system outside containment (CLOG).Verification of this closed system as a containment isolation boundary is accomplished via inservice and/or shutdown leakage checks.(Safety In)ection Pump discharge pressure is~1500 psig)This valve is not locked closed~however, the valve is maintained closed by testing and system lineup procedures and has a"Boundary Control Tag" per PTT-23A.This provides equivalent assurance of proper valve position.The pressure indicator only provides local indication; therefore, a second closed isolation device is required (i.e., indicator's root valve).However, the root valve (12406 or 12407)is listed with the indicator, not as a second barrier due to the design of the line.The pressure transmitter assembly, by its design, provides a containment pressure boundary.Since the transmitter provides direct indication to the control room, operators would be aware of its failure.Therefore, the transmitter's root valve(s)is normally maintained open.(9)This penetration was only utilized during initial plant construction and is maintained inactive.Since there is no test connection between 5129 and the threaded cap, all observed leakage during testing is applied to 5129.Therefore, the outside cap is not a CIB.(10)The containment spray system is a closed system outside containment (CLOC).Verification of this closed system as a containment isolation boundary is accomplished via inservice and/or shutdown leakage checks.(Containment Spray pump discharge pressure is~285 psig)This valve receives a containment isolation signalg however, credit is not taken for this function since the valve is inside the missile barrier or outside the necessary class break boundary.Therefore, this valve is not a containment isolation valve and not subject to 10 CFR 50 ATI'ACHMENT A A-3.3:17 Appendix J testing nor Technical Specification 3.6.3.isolation signal only enhances containment isolation.
The containment (12)(13)Both containment spray test lines have a locked closed manual valve that leads to a common line with two normally closed manual valves.The valves in this common line may be opened during a pump test since necessary containment isolation is maintained (see Safety Evaluation NSL-OOOO-SE015).
The test line and root valves for the pressure indicators can be opened during testing of the CS pumps since manual valves 868 A/B are closed, thus providing the necessary containment boundary for the short duration of the test.(14)The second isolation barrier (CLOC)is.provided by the volume control tank and connecting piping per letter from D.D.DiIanni, NRC, to R.W.Kober, RG&E, dated January 30, 1987.This barrier is not required to be tested.(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(2o)(21)(22)Only one isolation barrier is provided since there are two Event V check valves in the SI cold legs, and two check valves and a normally closed motor-operated valve in the SI hot legs.This configuration was accepted by the NRC during the SEP (NUREG-0821, Section 4.22.2).The residual heat removal lines for this penetration are a closed loop outside containment (CLOG).Verification of this closed system as a containment isolation boundary is accomplished via inservice and/or shutdown leakage checks.(Residual Heat Removal pump discharge pressure is~175 psig)Appendix J containment leakage testing is not required per letter from D.M.Crutchfield, NRC, to J.E.Maler, RGGE, dated May 6, 1981.The Main Steam, Main Feedwater, Standby Auxiliary Feedwater and S/G Blowdown penetrations take credit for the steam generator tubes and shell as a closed system inside containment (CLIC).Verification of this closed system as a containment isolation boundary is accomplished via normal power operation (750 psig).The isolation valves outside containment for these penetrations do not require Appendix J testing.The component cooling water lines inside containment for this penetration are a closed loop inside containment (CLIC).Verification of this closed system as a containment isolation boundary is accomplished via inservice and/or shutdown leakage checks.(Component Cooling Water pump discharge pressure is~85 psig)Operations is instructed to manually close AOV 745 following a containment isolation signal to provide additional redundancy.
Sump lines are in operation and filled with fluid following an accident;therefore, 10CFR50, Appendix J leakage testing is not required for this penetration.
See letter from D.M.Crutchfield, NRC, to J.E.Maier, RGM, dated May 6, 1981.This manual valve is sub)ected to an annual hydrostatic leakage test (>60 psig)and is not sub)ect to 10CFR50, Appendix J leakage testing.See NUREG-0821, Section 4.22.3.
ATI'ACHMENT A A-3.3:18 (23)(24)(25)The Service Water System operates at a higher pressure (80 psig)than the containment accident pressure (60 psig)and is missile protected inside containment.
Therefore, this manual valve is used for flow control only and is not subject to 10CFR50, Appendix J leakage testing.See NUREG-0821, Section 4.22.3.h This valve does not receive an automatic containment isolation signal but is normally open at power since it either improves the reliability of an essential standby system or is required for power operation.
However, this valve can either be closed from the control room or locally when required.The flanges and associated double seals provide containment isolation and ensure that containment integrity is maintained for all modes of operation above cold shutdown.When'the flanges are removed during cold shutdown conditions, containment integrity is provided by the valve.This valve is not required to bo operable above cold shutdown and does not require 10CFR50, Appendix J leakage testing, nor a maximum isolation time.(26)(29)(30)Motor<<Operated Valves 7443 and 7444 are powered from non-safety-related Bus 15.However, this is acceptable since the valves are maintained closed at power and are in series with a blind flange.In addition, operators would be aware of a loss of Bus 15 by a loss of control room indication for these two valves (Safety Evaluation NSL-OOOO-SE021).
This penetration is decommissioned and welded shut.The service water system piping inside containment for this penetration is a closed system inside containment (CLIC).Verification of this closed system as a containment isolation boundary is accomplished via inservice and/or shutdown leakage checks.(Service Water Pump discharge pressure is~80 psig)This end cap is used for flow balancing.
However, it cannot be opened above cold shutdown without first performing a safety evaluation.
This valve will no longer be classified as a CIV following NRC approval of the Amendment Request to remove the listing of CIVs from Technical Specifications since another boundary has been identified.
However, in the interim, the valve will continue to be identified and tested as a CIV consistent with Technical Specifications.
This note applies to valves 750A, 750B, 851A and 851B.(31)(32)(33)(34)Acceptable isolation capability is provided for these instrument lines by two isolation boundaries outside containment.
One of the boundaries is a Seismic Category I closed system which is subject to Type C leakage testing under 10 CFR 50 Appendix J.There is no second containment barrier for this branch line.This is addressed by Safety Evaluation NSL-OOOO-SE015.
These end caps include those found on the sensing lines for PS-2092, PT-468, PT-469, PT-469A, and PT-482 (Penetration 401)and PS-2093, PT-479, and PT-483 (Penetration 402).This check valve can be open when containment isolation is required in order to provide necessary feedwater or auxiliary feedwater to the steam ATI'ACHMENT A A-3.3:19 (35)generators.
The check valve will close once feedwater is isolated to the affected steam generator (NUREG-0821, Section 4.22.1).AOV 959 cannot be tested to 10 CFR 50 Appendix J requirements since there are no available test connections.
Therefore, the fuses for AOV 959 are removed with boundary control tags in place to maintain this valve closed.Manual valve 957 is also maintained closed to provide additional assurance of containment lntegrltyy however, valve 957 is not a containment isolation valve sub)ect to Technical Specification 3.6.3.(36)AOV 371 is a containment isolation valve for both penetrations ill and 112.(37)The Technical Specifications currently identify a 60 second maximum isolation signal for this valve (745, 749A and 749B).However, there is no automatic containment isolation signal to this valve and none required.

Basis: The reactor coolant system conditions of cold shutdown assure that'o steam will be formed and hence-there-would be no pressure buildup in the containment if the reactor coolant system ruptures.'he-shutdown"margins are selected based on the type of activities that are being carried out.The (2000 ppm)boron concentration provides shutdown margin which precludes criticality under any circumstances.
When the reactor head is not to be removed, a cold shutdown margin of 14~k/k precludes criticality in any occurrence.
Regarding internal pressure limitations, the containment design pressure of 60 psig would not be exceeded if the internal pressure before a major steam break accident were as much as 1 psig."

/Amendment No.4.4-11 Proposed
'i CI~k The Specification also allows for possible deterioration of the.leakage rate between tests, by requiring that the total measured leakage rate-be-only 75<of the.maximum allowable leakage.rate.--The duration and methods for the integrated leakage rate test established by ANSI N45.4-1972 provide a minimum level of accuracy and allow for daily cyclic variation in temperature and thermal radiation.
The frequency of the integrated leakage rate test is keyed to the refueling schedule for th'e reactor, because these tests can best be performed during refueling shutdowns.
Refueling shutdowns are scheduled at approximately one year intervals.
The specified frequency of integrated leakage=rate tests.is, based on three major considerations.
First is the low probability of leaks in the liner, because of (a)the use of weld channels to test the leaktightness of the welds during erection, (b)conformance of the complete containment to a O.l>per day leak rate at 60 psig during preoperational testing, and (c)absence of any significant stresses in the liner during reactor operation.
Second is the more frequent testing, at the full accident pressure, of those portions of the containment envelope that are most likely to develop leaks during reactor operation (penetrations and isolation valves)and the low value (0.60 La)of the total leakage that is specified as acceptable Third is the tendon stress surveillance program, which provides assurance than an important part of the structural integrity of the containment is maintained.

.p a II'L 0$rt The basis for specification of a total leakage of 0.60 La from penetrations and isolation~ee~SFugŽdaige8 is that only a portion'of'the allowable integrated leakage.rate-should be-from.those sources in order to provide assurance that the integrated leakage rate would remain within the specified limits during the intervals between integrated leakage rate tests.Because most leakage during an integrated leak rate test occurs though penetrations and isolation valves, and because for most penetrations and isolation valves a smaller leakage rate would result from an integrated leak test than from a local test, adequate assurance of maintaining the"integrated leakage rate within the specified limits is provided.The limiting leakage rates from the Recirculation Heat Removal Systems are judgement values based, primarily on assuring.that.the components could operate without mechanical failure for a period on the order of 200 days after a design basis accident.The test 4.4-14 Proposed V'J t CV~p The pre-stress confirmation test provides a direct measure of the load-carrying capability of the tendon.If the surveillance program indicates by extensive wire breakage or tendon stress relation that the pre-stressing tendons are not behaving as expected, the situation will be evaluated immediately.
The specified acceptance criteria are such as to alert attention to the situation well before the tendon load-carrying capability would deteriorate to a point that failure during a design basis accident might be possible.Thus the cause of the incipient deterioration could be evaluated and corrective action studied without need to shut.down the reactor.The containment is provided with two'readily removable tendons that might be useful to such a study.In addition, there are 40 tendons, each containing a removable wire which will be used to monitor for possible corrosion effects.Operability of the containment isolation vakvee~hnund'ix'fi'8 ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmosphere or pressurization of the containment.
