PCIVs B 3.6.1.3 Columbia Generating Station B 3.6.1.3-12 Revision 73 BASES SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (continued)

SR 3.6.1.3.6 Verifying that the full closure isolation time of each MSIV is within the specified limits is required to demonstrate OPERABILITY. The full closure isolation time test ensures that the MSIV will isolate in a time period that does not exceed the times assumed in the DBA and transient analyses. The Frequency of this SR is in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program.

SR 3.6.1.3.7 Automatic PCIVs close on a primary containment isolation signal to prevent leakage of radioactive material from primary containment following a DBA. This SR ensures that each automatic PCIV will actuate to its isolation position on a primary containment isolation signal. The LOGIC SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL TEST in LCO 3.3.6.1, "Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation," overlaps this SR to provide complete testing of the safety function. The 24 month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass this Surveillance when performed at the 24 month Frequency. Therefore, the Frequency was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint.The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.6.1.3.8 This SR requires a demonstration that a representative sample of reactor instrument lines excess flow check valves (EFCVs) are OPERABLE by verifying that each tested valve actuates to the isolation position on an actual or simulated instrument line break condition. The representative sample consists of an approximately equal number of EFCVs, such that each EFCV is tested at least once every 10 years (nominal). In addition, the EFCVs in the sample are representative of the various plant configurations, models, sizes and operating environments. This ensures that any potentially common problem with a specific type or application of EFCV is detected at the earliest possible time. This SR provides assurance that the reactor instrumentation lines EFCVs will perform as designed. The excess flow check valves in reactor instrument lines are tested by providing an instrument line break signal with pressure at 85 psig to 1050 psig, and at no more than 212°F, RPV coolant temperature, while the EFCV is being exercised. Testing within this during the interval

PCIVs B 3.6.1.3 Columbia Generating Station B 3.6.1.3-13 Revision 73 pressure range provides a high degree of assurance that these valves will close during an instrument line break while at normal operating pressure.

PCIVs B 3.6.1.3 Columbia Generating Station B 3.6.1.3-14 Revision 73 BASES SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (continued)

The 24 month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program. The nominal 10 year interval is based on performance testing. Furthermore, any EFCV failures will be evaluated to determine if additional testing in that test interval is warranted to ensure overall reliability is maintained. Operating experience has demonstrated that these components are highly reliable and that failures to isolate are very infrequent. Therefore, testing of a representative sample was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint (Reference 5). In addition, due to operational concerns, the Surveillance should not be performed during MODES 1, 2, or 3. This restriction has been established to limit the thermal cycles at the containment penetration.

SR 3.6.1.3.9 The TIP shear isolation valves are actuated by explosive charges. An in place functional test is not possible with this design. The explosive squib is removed and tested to provide assurance that the valves will actuate when required. The replacement charge for the explosive squib shall be from the same manufactured batch as the one fired or from another batch that has been certified by having one of the batch successfully fired.

Other administrative controls, such as those that limit the shelf life and operating life, as applicable, of the explosive charges, must be followed.

The Frequency of 24 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS is considered adequate given the administrative controls on replacement charges and the frequent checks of circuit continuity (SR 3.6.1.3.4).The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Progra.

SR 3.6.1.3.10 This SR ensures that the leakage rate of secondary containment bypass leakage paths is less than the specified leakage rate. This provides assurance that the assumptions in the radiological evaluations that form the basis of the FSAR (Ref. 1) are met. The leakage rate of each bypass leakage path is assumed to be the maximum pathway leakage (leakage through the worse of the two isolation valves) unless the penetration is isolated by use of one closed and de-activated automatic valve, closed manual valve, or blind flange. In this case, the leakage rate of the isolated bypass leakage path is assumed to be the actual pathway leakage through the isolation device. If both isolation valves in the
