SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T.The most restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with Tat no load operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled'RCS cooldown.Figure 3.1-1 shows the SHUTDOWN MARGIN equivalent to.1.77K bk/k at the end-of-core-life with respect to an uncontrolled cooldown.Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions.

The boration flow path specification allows the RWST and the boric acid storage tank to be the boron sources.Due to the lower boron concentration in the RWST, borating the RCS from this source is less effective than borating from the boric acid tank and additional time may be required to achie e the desired SHUTDOWN MARGIN required by ACTION statement restrictions.

3/4. 1    REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4. 1. 1   BORATION CONTROL 3/4.1.1.1      and  3/4.1.1.2    SHUTDOWN MARGIN A  sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that: (1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, (2) the reactivity transients asso-ciated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and (3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent        criticality in  the shutdown condition.
SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T  . The most restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with T  at no load operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled 'RCS cooldown. Figure 3. 1-1 shows the SHUTDOWN MARGIN equivalent to
. 1.77K bk/k at the end-of-core-life with respect to an uncontrolled cooldown.
Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions. With T less than 200'.F, the reactivity transients resulting from an inadvertent cooldown of the RCS or an inadvertent dilution of RCS boron                'mal and a 3X hk/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN provides ade          te protection.     +,~ ~>, g~+p~)
The boron rate requirement of         gpm of             boron or equivalent ensures the capability to restore the shutdown margin with one OPERABLE charging pump.
3/4. 1.1. 3  MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT The limitations on moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) are provided to ensure that the value of this coefficient remains within the limiting condition assumed in the FSAR accident and transient analyses.
The MTC values of this specification are applicable to a specific set of plant conditions; accordingly, verification of MTC values at conditions other than those explicitly stated will require extrapolation to those conditions in order to permit      an  accurate comparison.
The most    negative  MTC,  value equivalent to the most positive moderator density coefficient (MDC), was obtained by incrementally correcting the MDC used in the FSAR analyses to nominal operating conditions.           These corrections TURKEY'POINT      " UNITS 3 8T 4       B 3/4 1-1       AMENDMENT NOS 137 AND 132

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT          (Continued) involved subtracting the incremental change in the MDC associated with a core condition of all rods inserted (most positive MDC) to an all rods withdrawn condition and, a conversion for the rate of change of moderator density with temperature at RATED THERMAL POWER conditions. This value of the MDC was then transformed into the limiting MTC value -3. 5 x 10-4 b,k/k/'F. The MTC value of -3.0 x 10-4 hk/k/'F represents a conservative value (with corrections for burnup and soluble boron) at a core condition of 300 ppm equilibrium boron concentration and is obtained by making these corrections to the limiting MTC value of 3 5 x 10 4 >k/k/oF The Surveillance Requirements for measurement of the MTC at the beginning and near the end of the fuel cycle are adequate to confirm that the MTC remains within its limits since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in      RCS  boron concentration associated      with fuel burnup.
3/4. 1. 1. 4  MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 541'F. This limitation is required to ensure: (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within    it  analyzed temperature range, (2) the trip instrumentation is within its normal operating range, (3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and (4) the reactor vessel is above its minimum RTNDT. temperature.

v REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES BORATION SYSTEMS  (Continued)
The boration flow path specification allows the RWST and the boric acid storage tank to be the boron sources.          Due to the lower boron concentration in the RWST, borating the RCS from      this    source    is less effective than borating from the boric acid tank and      additional      time    may be required to achie e the desired SHUTDOWN MARGIN required by        ACTION      statement    restrictions.
The ACTION statement  restrictions for the boration flow paths allow continued  operation  in  mode  1 for a limited time period with either boration source flow path or the normal flow path to the RCS (via the regenerative heat exchanger) inoperable. In this case, the plant capability to borate and charge into the RCS is limited and the potential operational impact of this limitation on mode 1 operation must be addressed. With both the flow path
  .fr'om the boric acid tanks and the regenerative heat exchanger flow path inoperable, immediate initiation of action to go to COLD SHUTDOWN is required but no time is specified for the mode reduction due to the reduced plant capability with these flow paths inoperable.

The  charging pumps are demonstrated to be OPERABLE by testing as required by Section XI of the ASME code or by specific surveillance requirements in the specification. These requirements are adequate to determine OPERABILITY, because no safety analysis assumption relating to the charging pump. performance is more restrictive than these acceptance criteria for the pumps.
The boron concentration of the RWST in conjunction with manual addition of borax ensures that the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA will be basic. The basic solution minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.      The temperature requirements for the RWST are based on the containment integrity and large break LOCA analysis assumptions.

OPERABLE condition for the analog rod position indicators is defined as being capable of indicating rod position to within 212 steps of the demand counter position. For the Shutdown Banks and Control Banks A and B, the Position Indication requirement is defined as the group demand counter indicated position between 0 and 30 steps withdrawn inclusive, and between 200 and 228 steps withdrawn inclusive. This permits the operator to verify that the control rods in these banks are either fully withdrawn or fully inserted, the normal operating modes for these banks.
Knowledge of these bank positions in these two areas satisfies all accident analysis assumptions concerning their position. For Control Banks C and 0, the, Position Indication requirement is defined as the group demand counter indicated position between 0 and 228 steps withdrawn inclusive.

3/4. 9    REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9. 1  BORON CONCENTRATION The limitations on reactivity condi tions during REFUELING ensure that:
(1) the reactor will remain subcritical during CORE ALTERATIONS, and (2) a uniform boron concentration is maintained for reactivity control in the water volume having direct access to the reactor vessel.         These limitations are consistent with the initial conditions assumed for the boron dilution incident in the safety analyses. Mith the required valves c]osed during refueling operations the possibility of uncontrolled boron dilution of the filled portion of the RCS is precluded. This action prevents flow to the RCS of unborated water by closing flo paths f          sources of unborated water. The boration rate requirement of          pm of            boron or equivalent'nsures the capability to restore th        SHU      ARGIN  with one OPERABLE charging pump.
3/4.9.2    INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the Source Range Neutron Flux Monitors ensures that redundant monitoring capability is available to detect changes in the reactivity condition of the core. There are four source range'eutron flux channels, two primary and two backup. All four .channels have visual and alarm indication in the control room and interface with the containment evacuation alarm system.
'-The"primary source range neutron flux channels can also generate reactor trip signals and provide audible'ndication of the count rate in the control room and containment.      At least one primary source range neutron flux channel to provide the required audible indication, in addition to its other functions, and one of the three remaining source range channels shall be OPERABLE to satisfy the LCO.
3/4,9.3     DECAY TIME The minimum requirement for reactor subcriticality prior to movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the reactor vessel ensures that sufficient time has elapsed to allow the radioactive decay of the short-lived fission products.
This decay time is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.
3/4. 9. 4   CONTAINMENT BUILDING PENETRATIONS The requirements    on containment  building penetration closure and OPERABILITY ensure    that a release  of radioactive material within containment will be restricted from leakage to the environment. The OPERABILITY and closure restrictions are sufficient to restrict radioactive'material release from a fuel element rupture based upon the lack of containment pressurization potential whi'le in the REFUELING MODE.
3/4. 9. 5  COMMUN I CATIONS The-requirement for communications capability ensures that refueling station personnel      can be promptly informed of significant changes in the facility status or core react'ivity conditions during CORE ALTERATIONS.

3/4. 1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4. 1. 1 BORATION CONTROL 3/4.1.1.1 and 3/4.1.1.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that: (1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, (2) the reactivity transients asso-ciated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and (3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition. SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T . The most restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with T at no load operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled 'RCS cooldown. Figure 3. 1-1 shows the SHUTDOWN MARGIN equivalent to . 1.77K bk/k at the end-of-core-life with respect to an uncontrolled cooldown. Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions. With T less than 200'.F, the reactivity transients resulting from an inadvertent cooldown of the RCS or an inadvertent dilution of RCS boron 'mal and a 3X hk/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN provides ade te protection. +,~ ~>, g~+p~) The boron rate requirement of gpm of boron or equivalent ensures the capability to restore the shutdown margin with one OPERABLE charging pump. 3/4. 1.1. 3 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT The limitations on moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) are provided to ensure that the value of this coefficient remains within the limiting condition assumed in the FSAR accident and transient analyses. The MTC values of this specification are applicable to a specific set of plant conditions; accordingly, verification of MTC values at conditions other than those explicitly stated will require extrapolation to those conditions in order to permit an accurate comparison. The most negative MTC, value equivalent to the most positive moderator density coefficient (MDC), was obtained by incrementally correcting the MDC used in the FSAR analyses to nominal operating conditions. These corrections TURKEY'POINT " UNITS 3 8T 4 B 3/4 1-1 AMENDMENT NOS 137 AND 132

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (Continued) involved subtracting the incremental change in the MDC associated with a core condition of all rods inserted (most positive MDC) to an all rods withdrawn condition and, a conversion for the rate of change of moderator density with temperature at RATED THERMAL POWER conditions. This value of the MDC was then transformed into the limiting MTC value -3. 5 x 10-4 b,k/k/'F. The MTC value of -3.0 x 10-4 hk/k/'F represents a conservative value (with corrections for burnup and soluble boron) at a core condition of 300 ppm equilibrium boron concentration and is obtained by making these corrections to the limiting MTC value of 3 5 x 10 4 >k/k/oF The Surveillance Requirements for measurement of the MTC at the beginning and near the end of the fuel cycle are adequate to confirm that the MTC remains within its limits since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup. 3/4. 1. 1. 4 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 541'F. This limitation is required to ensure: (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within it analyzed temperature range, (2) the trip instrumentation is within its normal operating range, (3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and (4) the reactor vessel is above its minimum RTNDT. temperature. 3/4.-1. 2 BORATION SYSTEMS The Boron Injection System ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to erform this function include: (1) borated water sources 2 char ing u s, 3 separa e f ow pat s 4 boric acid transfer pumps With the RCS average temperature above 200'F, a minimum of two boron injection flow paths are required to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the flow paths inoperable. One flow path from the charging pump discharge is acceptable since the flow path components subject to an active failure are upstream of the charging pumps.

v REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES BORATION SYSTEMS (Continued) The boration flow path specification allows the RWST and the boric acid storage tank to be the boron sources. Due to the lower boron concentration in the RWST, borating the RCS from this source is less effective than borating from the boric acid tank and additional time may be required to achie e the desired SHUTDOWN MARGIN required by ACTION statement restrictions. The ACTION statement restrictions for the boration flow paths allow continued operation in mode 1 for a limited time period with either boration source flow path or the normal flow path to the RCS (via the regenerative heat exchanger) inoperable. In this case, the plant capability to borate and charge into the RCS is limited and the potential operational impact of this limitation on mode 1 operation must be addressed. With both the flow path 

 .fr'om the boric acid tanks and the regenerative heat exchanger flow path inoperable, immediate initiation of action to go to COLD SHUTDOWN is required but no time is specified for the mode reduction due to the reduced plant capability with these flow paths inoperable.

n REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES BORATION SYSTEMS (Continued) The charging pumps are demonstrated to be OPERABLE by testing as required by Section XI of the ASME code or by specific surveillance requirements in the specification. These requirements are adequate to determine OPERABILITY, because no safety analysis assumption relating to the charging pump. performance is more restrictive than these acceptance criteria for the pumps. The boron concentration of the RWST in conjunction with manual addition of borax ensures that the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA will be basic. The basic solution minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components. The temperature requirements for the RWST are based on the containment integrity and large break LOCA analysis assumptions. The OPERABILITY of one Boron Injection System during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in mdiv 8 The OPERABILITY associa e with the boric acid tank s e ensures t at the so ubility of the oron solution will be maintained. mQs~y Q (+)One channel of heat tracing is sufficient to maintain the specified temperature limit.

OPERABLE condition for the analog rod position indicators is defined as being capable of indicating rod position to within 212 steps of the demand counter position. For the Shutdown Banks and Control Banks A and B, the Position Indication requirement is defined as the group demand counter indicated position between 0 and 30 steps withdrawn inclusive, and between 200 and 228 steps withdrawn inclusive. This permits the operator to verify that the control rods in these banks are either fully withdrawn or fully inserted, the normal operating modes for these banks. Knowledge of these bank positions in these two areas satisfies all accident analysis assumptions concerning their position. For Control Banks C and 0, the, Position Indication requirement is defined as the group demand counter indicated position between 0 and 228 steps withdrawn inclusive. (4 c it no lewis

3/4. 9 REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9. 1 BORON CONCENTRATION The limitations on reactivity condi tions during REFUELING ensure that: (1) the reactor will remain subcritical during CORE ALTERATIONS, and (2) a uniform boron concentration is maintained for reactivity control in the water volume having direct access to the reactor vessel. These limitations are consistent with the initial conditions assumed for the boron dilution incident in the safety analyses. Mith the required valves c]osed during refueling operations the possibility of uncontrolled boron dilution of the filled portion of the RCS is precluded. This action prevents flow to the RCS of unborated water by closing flo paths f sources of unborated water. The boration rate requirement of pm of boron or equivalent'nsures the capability to restore th SHU ARGIN with one OPERABLE charging pump. 3/4.9.2 INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the Source Range Neutron Flux Monitors ensures that redundant monitoring capability is available to detect changes in the reactivity condition of the core. There are four source range'eutron flux channels, two primary and two backup. All four .channels have visual and alarm indication in the control room and interface with the containment evacuation alarm system. '-The"primary source range neutron flux channels can also generate reactor trip signals and provide audible'ndication of the count rate in the control room and containment. At least one primary source range neutron flux channel to provide the required audible indication, in addition to its other functions, and one of the three remaining source range channels shall be OPERABLE to satisfy the LCO. 3/4,9.3 DECAY TIME The minimum requirement for reactor subcriticality prior to movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the reactor vessel ensures that sufficient time has elapsed to allow the radioactive decay of the short-lived fission products. This decay time is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. 3/4. 9. 4 CONTAINMENT BUILDING PENETRATIONS The requirements on containment building penetration closure and OPERABILITY ensure that a release of radioactive material within containment will be restricted from leakage to the environment. The OPERABILITY and closure restrictions are sufficient to restrict radioactive'material release from a fuel element rupture based upon the lack of containment pressurization potential whi'le in the REFUELING MODE. 3/4. 9. 5 COMMUN I CATIONS The-requirement for communications capability ensures that refueling station personnel can be promptly informed of significant changes in the facility status or core react'ivity conditions during CORE ALTERATIONS.
