Attcchmsnt 1 Revised Technical Specifications for
* Primary Containment Oxygen Analyzer Revised pages:  64 65 66 79 80 Cooper Nuclear Station Technical Specifications currently lists one Analyzer to measure oxygen concentration in the primary containment. The District has installed new oxygen analyzing instrument:rion incorporating redundant channels which meet the range, seismic, environmental qualification, electrical separation, and post-accident performance capabilities specified in Regulatory Guide 1.97. This new instrument ation was installed as part of an integrated H2/02analyzer system during the 1988 refueling outage. Each H9/02 system consists  of an analyzer panel and microprocessor controls, along wIth the necessary recording equipment and plant process computer outputs.      Each channel is powered by a separate division of power. The new instrument I.D.
number for the 0 analyzers is PC AN/CS H,/0 9 A and B.      Therefore, the 2
District proposes to replace the existing single I.D. number presently listed for the 0 analyzer (PC 0 A-512) with the two new I.D. numbers.
2                2 The oxygen analyzer is currently listed in Tables 3/4.2.E under instrumentation that monitors drywell leak detection. However, the oxygen analyzer serves no function in coolant leak detection and should be listed under Tables 3/ +.2.F for primary containment surveillance instrumentation.
Accordingly, the District proposes to remove the oxygen analyzer from Tables 3/4.2.E and incorporate the new analyzer instrumentation into Tables 3/4.2.F. The proposed limiting conditions for operation and action statements in Table 3.2.F for the oxygen analyzer are consistent with the present  Technical Specification requirements of Table 3.2.E and Specif* cation 3.6.C. Under present Technical Specifications, the single channel oxygen analyzer can be inoperable during reactor operation for periods    1 up to 30 days before an orderly plant shutdown is required.      With the new redundant analyzers and their requirements in Table 3.2.F,      operation is      1 permissible only for a period of soven days with no indication in the Control      l Room (i.e., both channels inot.erable). During periods when both channels are inoperable, Primary Containment oxygen concentration can be measured by taking containment air grab samples. These greb samples will be used to satisfy Specification 4.7.A.S.a for oxygen measurement. The proposed surveillance          4 requirements on Table 4.2.F for the Primary Containment Oxygen Analyzer are identical to those currently required by Table 4.2.E.
In sumary, the District proposes the following changes:
: 1. On pages 64 and 79, delete the oxygen analyzer PC-02 A-512 under the I.D. l No. column for the Air Sampling System.                                      i
: 2. On pages 65 and 80, add the new oxygen analyzers PC AN/CS H  2 /C 2A ""d 0  l and their related information to Tables 3/4.2.F.                              l 1

: 3. On page 66. add Note No. 3 to allow grab samples to be used to verify primary containment oxygen concentration when both analyzer channels are inoperable.                                                                  ,
Evaluation of this Amendment with Respect to 10CFR50.92 The proposed amendment consists of two changes listed as follows:
: a. Replacement of tho single I.D. number for the 0      analyzer with I.D.
2 numbers for both channels of the new system.
: b. Relocate the oxygen analyzer requirements from Tables 3/4.2.E to Tables 3/4.2.F.
The enclosed Technical Specification change is judged to involve no significant hazards based on the followin5:
: 1. Does the proposed license amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Evaluation:
: a. This proposed change replaces the single I.D. number for the 0 analyzer with ',D. Numbers for both channels of the new system, he      !
new I.D. numbara indicate that there are redundant channels rupplied by a separate division of power. The new analyzer system will be installed in accordance with commitments made by the District to comply with the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.97. The monitors do not control the logic or provide inputs to any reactor protection or    ;
engineered safety features. These instruments are for the assessment of containment integrity during operation and following design basis accidents. The oxygen analyzer is not required to shut down the plant and since it is redundant and qualified for post accident environmen;;s , it is more reliable than the existing      i system. Therefore, the change to add new I.D. numbers does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated,
: b. This proposed change relocates the equirements for the primary containment oxygen analyzer from the able for instrumentation that monitors drywell leak detection to the table for primary contaimnent    ;
surveillance instrumentation. The new requirements reflect the          '
addition of a separate redundant channel to the instrument and provide additional restrictions to instrument operability.        The function or operation of the instrument is not affected nor is its j
interface with other plant systems    The change does not involve a    :
I significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

: 2. Does the proposed license amendment create the possibility for a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Evaluation:
: a. The replacsment of a single analyzer with redundant analyzers and changing the I.D. numbers will no*. create the possibility for a new or different kind of accident. The change is in compliance with NRC guidance to provide redundant monitoring capability and meets the specifications recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.97. The monitor is not required for safe shutdown of the plant.
: b. The relocation of the o      analyzer requirements to a different section of Technical Spec fications will not create the possibility of any new or different kind of accident.      The limiting conditicns for operation and surveillance requirements remain consistent with previous requirements and have been modified to reflect the addition of the redundant channel. The change will not allow any new mode of plant operation.
: 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
l                                                                                    .
t Evaluation:
: a. The change to the 0 analyzer I.D. number does not affect any margin of safety. The  I. . Numbers are for tracking of individual components for maintenance and surve111cnce purposes.      The new I.D.
numbers reflect the installation of a new, redundant analyzer system and fulfills a previous District Regulatory Guide 1.97 commitment.        '
: b. The relocation of the 0      analyzer requirements to a different section of Technical Spec fications will not affect the availability of oxygen concentration monitoring in the Control Room to assess containment performance during normal and accident conditions.        The  l 02analyzer provides no signal to the Reactor Protective System or          '
any Engineered Safety Feature and has no impact on any margin of i                    safety. The proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
