Within the PVNGS Unit 1 Technical Specifications are Section 4.6.4.3, 4.7.7, 4.7.8, and 4.9.12 which address the surveillance requirements for the containment hydrogen purge system, the control room essential filtration system, the ESF pump room air exhaust cleanup system, and the fuel building essential ventilation system, respectively. Subsections 4.6.4.3.f, 4.7.7.f, 4.7.8.f and 4.9.12.f delineate what constitutes a "demonstration of operability" for charcoal adsorbers within these filtration systems. Each of these requirements currently specify a charcoal adsorber removal efficiency "greater than or equal to 99.95X of a halogenated hydrocarbon refrigerant test gas when they are tested in place".

The generic letter was issued to clarify HEPA filter and charcoal adsorber testing requirements as specified in Regulatory Guide 1.52, Rev. 2, and ANSI N510-1975 because the current revision of the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) did not clearly reflect the guidance provided in these documents. | |||
As a result of Generic Letter No. 83-13, corrective changes were incorporated in a revision to the STS. PVNGS Unit 2 Technical Specifications were modified | |||
-to reflect this correction before issuance. The PVNGS Unit 1 Technical Specifica-tions, which were drafted prior to the STS revision, require a change to incor-porate this guidance and to maintain consistency in Technical Specifications be-tween PVNGS Unit 1 and PVNGS Unit 2. The PVNGS Unit 1 Surveillance Requirements for testing of Charcoal Adsorbers currently requires a 99.95X removal efficiency. | |||
This Technical Specification amendment proposes a removal efficiency of 99.0X for charcoal adsorbers which is consistent with the allowable ESF filtration system efficency of 95%%u for radioiodine as assigned in NUREG-0857 (PVNGS Safety Evalua-tion Report). | |||
C. Basis for No Si nificant Hazards Determination The Commission has provided certain examples (48FR14864) of action likely to in-volve no significant hazards consideration. This proposed amendment matches the example of a change that "may reduce in some way a safety margin, but where the results of the change are clearly within all acceptable criteria with respect to the system". Operation of PVNGS Unit 1 in accordance with this amendment would not: | |||
(1) Increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety as evaluated in the FSAR because the ESF filtration system efficiency, as evaluated in Sec-tion 15B of the PVNGS FSAR, is not changed. | |||

(2) Create the possibility for a accident or malfunction of a different type than previously evaluated in the FSAR because the assigned effi-ciency of ESF filter units remains at 95% as evaluated in PVNGS FSAR Chapter 6/Chapter 15 .accident analyses. | |||
(3) Reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. The efficiency of charcoal adsorbers, which is components within the ESF filtration systems, are slightly reduced but the effi-ciency of the systems and operability of the systems remain the same. | |||
Therefore, the results are clearly within all acceptable criteria and the margin of safety for the systems is not reduced. | |||

tDescri tion of Pro osed Amendment t
Within the PVNGS Unit 1 Technical Specifications are Section 4.6.4.3, 4.7.7, 4.7.8, and 4.9.12 which address the surveillance requirements for the containment hydrogen purge system, the control room essential filtration system, the ESF pump room air exhaust cleanup system, and the fuel building essential ventilation system, respectively. Subsections 4.6.4.3.f, 4.7.7.f, 4.7.8.f and 4.9.12.f delineate what constitutes a "demonstration of operability" for charcoal adsorbers within these filtration systems. Each of these requirements currently specify a charcoal adsorber removal efficiency "greater than or equal to 99.95X of a halogenated hydrocarbon refrigerant test gas when they are tested in place". This proposed amendment will change the 99.95K removal efficiency to 99.0X or conversely will allow charcoal adsorber bypass leakage of 1/.
\
B. Justification of Pro osed Amendment On March 2, 1983, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Generic Letter No.
83-13, Clarification of Surveillance Requirements For HEPA Filters and Charcoal Adsorber Units In Standard Technical Specifications On ESF Cleanup Systems. The generic letter was issued to clarify HEPA filter and charcoal adsorber testing requirements as specified in Regulatory Guide 1.52, Rev. 2, and ANSI N510-1975 because the current revision of the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) did not clearly reflect the guidance provided in these documents.
As a result of Generic Letter No. 83-13, corrective changes were incorporated in a revision to the STS. PVNGS Unit 2 Technical Specifications were modified
-to reflect this correction before issuance. The PVNGS Unit 1 Technical Specifica-tions, which were drafted prior to the STS revision, require a change to incor-porate this guidance and to maintain consistency in Technical Specifications be-tween PVNGS Unit 1 and PVNGS Unit 2. The PVNGS Unit 1 Surveillance Requirements for testing of Charcoal Adsorbers currently requires a 99.95X removal efficiency.
This Technical Specification amendment proposes a removal efficiency of 99.0X for charcoal adsorbers which is consistent with the allowable ESF filtration system efficency of 95%%u for radioiodine as assigned in NUREG-0857 (PVNGS Safety Evalua-tion Report).
C. Basis for No Si nificant Hazards Determination The Commission has provided certain examples (48FR14864) of action likely to in-volve no significant hazards consideration. This proposed amendment matches the example of a change that "may reduce in some way a safety margin, but where the results of the change are clearly within all acceptable criteria with respect to the system". Operation of PVNGS Unit 1 in accordance with this amendment would not:
(1) Increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety as evaluated in the FSAR because the ESF filtration system efficiency, as evaluated in Sec-tion 15B of the PVNGS FSAR, is not changed.

(2) Create the possibility for a accident or malfunction of a different type than previously evaluated in the FSAR because the assigned effi-ciency of ESF filter units remains at 95% as evaluated in PVNGS FSAR Chapter 6/Chapter 15 .accident analyses.
(3) Reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification. The efficiency of charcoal adsorbers, which is components within the ESF filtration systems, are slightly reduced but the effi-ciency of the systems and operability of the systems remain the same.
Therefore, the results are clearly within all acceptable criteria and the margin of safety for the systems is not reduced.
(1 D. Environmental Zm act Consideration Determination The proposed change request does not involve an unreviewed environmental question because operation of PVNGS Units 1 and 2, in accordance with this change, would not: '
tw (1) Result in a significant increase in any adverse environmental impact previously evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) as mod-ified by the staff's testimony to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, Supplements to the FES, Environmental Impact appraisals, or in any deci-sions of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board; or (2) Result in a significant change in effluents or power levels; or (3) Result in matters not previously reviewed in the licensing basis for PVNGS which may have a significant environmental impact.
