A'=tachment 1toAEP:NRC:0856 0Adotionofthe1980VersionofANSIN510Theproposedchangeconsistsofreplacing reference tothe1975version/oftheANSIN510Standardwithreference tothe1980version,inT/S4.7.5.1Thechangewilladdressproblemswehaveexperienced withliteralapplication ofthe1975version,asdescribed below.AttheD.C.CookPlant,ourEngineered SafetyFeatures(ESF),storagepool,andcontrolroomventilati.on systemsarenotofANSIN509-1976 design.Additionally, theywereoperational beforetheissuanceofANSIN510-1975. | |||
Thus,literalcompliance withallrequirements oftheANSIN510testingstandardcannotphysically beachieved. | |||
The1980versionofANSIN510recognizes thatallventilation systemsarenotofANSIN509-1976 design.Section1.2ofANSIN510-1980 states:Itistheintentofthisstandardthatitberigorously appliedonlytosp'stemsdesignedandbuilttoANSIN509;however,sectionsofthisstandardmaybeusedfortechnical guidancefortestingofnon-N509systems.ANSIN510(1975and1980)requiresthatanair-aerosol mixinguniformity testbeperformed uponcompletion ofinitialsysteminstallation. | |||
ANSIN510specifies theuniformity testasaprerequisite toT/S-required in-placeleaktestingofcharcoalandHEPAfilters.Thepurposeoftheuniformity testistoverifythattracerinjection andsampleportsarelocatedsoastoprovidepropermixing,ofthetracerintheairapproaching thecomponent stagetobetested.InJulyandAugustof1985,weperformed theuniformity testontheunitswhichwereexpectedatthattimetoexhibittheworst-case airdistribution. | |||
TheseweretheESFventilation unitsdesignated 1-HV-AES-1 and2-HV-AES-l. | |||
Fortheuniformity test,ANSIN510-1975 requiresthatvaluesofupstreamaerosolconcentration inthesampleplanedifferbynomorethan10%.ANSIN510-1980 isslightlylessstringent, requiring individual samplesintheupstreamsampleplanetobewithin+20%ofthemeanconcentration. | |||
Ourtestsshowedaworse-case varianceof+42%,-30%ofthemeanconcentration. | |||
However,readingsinthecenterofthesampleplane,wherethenormalupstreamsampleistakenforcharcoalandHEPAleaktesting,werewithin20%ofthemeanconcentration. | |||
Thetestingdescribed abovewasconducted withthehelpofaconsultant. | |||
Theconsultant wasamemberoftheANSIN510Committee, althoughhewasnotrepresenting thecommittee whileworkingforus.Hestated:Inmyopinion,youhaveoptimized thelocationoftheinjection portandtechnique ofinjection forthissystem.Additionofbafflingorotherattemptstoenhancetheair-aerosol mixingwouldbefruitless....Your testresultsshowconclusively thateachareainthesamplingplaneupstreamoftheHEPAfilterbankisbeingadequately challenged. | |||
Whilecertainindividual recordings differfromthemeanconcentration bysomewhatmorethan+20%,theintent,thoughnottheletterofANSIN510-80iscertainly beingmet. | |||
4 Attachment 1toAEP:NRC:0856 0Thisinformation wasbroughttotheattention ofyourstaffonSeptember 9,1985.Weweretoldatthattimethatourtestingresultswereacceptable andthatbasedonthistheunitscouldbeconsidered operable. | |||
Wewereinstructed, however,tosubmitaT/Schangetodocumentthisdiscussion. | |||
Subsequent testinghasbeenperformed ontheControlRoomVentilation Systems.Resultswerenotwithintheboundsofthepreviously described tests.Concentrations intheupstreamsampleplaneshowedaworse-case varianceof+73%,-72%ofthemeanconcentration. | |||
Readingsinthecenterofthesampleplanewerewithin38%ofthemeanconcentration. | |||
Tocorrectforthishighvariance, weproposetouseacorrection factor.Thisfactorwillbeusedinlieuofthemuiltpoint samplingtechnique suggested bySectionllofANSI-N510. | |||
Asdiscussed previously, ourcontrolroomventilation systempre-dates ANSIN510-1975 andisnotofANSIN509design.Thus,noprovisions wereincludedinthesystemdesigntoallowformultipoint sampling. | |||
Thecorrection factorisderivedfromdataobtainedfromperformance ofanair-aerosol mixinguniformity testwhichissimilartothatrecommended bySection9ofANSIN510-1980. | |||
Thedataisevaluated usingstatistical methodsbasedonSection11ofANSIN510-1980. | |||
Thelowerlimit95%confidence levelconcentration attheupstreamsamplematrixisdividedintotheupperlimit95%confidence levelconcentration atthenormalupstreamsinglesamplepoint.Thisresultsinthecorrection factor,whichismultiplied bythepenetration determined usingin-placeleaktesting.Ifthiscorrection factorislessthan1.0,1.0willbeused.Asimilarcorrection factoriscurrently beingapplied.Toaddressthesituation described above,weproposetoadoptthe1980versionofANSIN510(whichincludesprovisions fornon-ANSIN509systems)andtomodifytheBasessectionofT/S3/4.7.5.1 totakespecificexemption fromtheliteralrequirements oftheair-aerosol mixinguniformity test.Ourcomparison ofthe1975tothe1980versionofANSIN510hasdetermined thatthedifferences discussed aboveweretheonlyonesofmajorsignificance, withtheexception ofrequirements whichwillbedescribed laterrelatedtomethyliodidelabtesting.Severalminorchangesrelatedtopenetrometer sensitivity, adsorberresidence timecalculations, andbackground dusttestingwerealsomadeinthe1980edition,butourreviewdetermined thesetobeeithermorerestrictive ortohaveminimalimpactonsafety.Per10CFR50.92,aproposedamendment willinvolveanosignificant hazardsconsideration'if theproposedamendment doesnot:(1)involveasignificant increaseintheprobability orconsequences ofanaccidentpreviously evaluated, (2)createthepossibility ofanewordifferent kindofaccidentfromanyaccidentpreviously analyzedorevaluated, or(3)involveasignificant reduction inamarginofsafety. | |||

Thistestspecified testconditions of130Cand95%relativehumidity, whichhavebeenincludedinourpresentT/Ss.The1980versionofANSIN510,whichwearepro'posing toadopt,specifies ASTMD3803-1979 asthetestingstandard, andstatesthattestconditions shallbeinaccordance withplantT/Ss.AtameetinginBethesda, MDonJanuary13,1986,membersofyourstaffcommented thattheefficiencies determined undertestconditions of130Cmightnotbeindicative ofefficiencies whichcouldbeanticipated underaccidentconditions. | |||
Thiswasbecausethehightemperature mightcausevaporization ofvolatilefiltercontaminants, including | |||

Yourstaffrecommended weconsideratesttemperature of30C.0Wearecurrently evaluating yourstaff'sconcern.Wehaverecentlyperformed alabtestontestcanisters obtainedfromoneofourEngineered Safeguards Features(ESF)ventilation units.Onesamplewas0testedat130C,usingthe1975versionofANSIN510,andtheotherat030Cusingthe1980version,whichweareproposing toadopt.The0samgletestedat30Chadanindicated efficiency whichwaslessthanthe130Csamplebyonly0.28%.Weplantocontinueevaluating theneedfordifferent testconditions throughJuly1988,usingparalleltestingmethodswhereverpracticable. | |||
TheEngineering Safeguards FeaturesandStoragePoolVentilation unitswillalsobeevaluated duringthistime.Shouldourreviewdetermine theneedforadoptingdifferent testconditions, wewillsubmitproposedT/Schangesrequesting them.Untilthattime,wewillcontinuetoabidebyourcurrentT/Srequirements. | |||
Attachment 1toAEP:NRC:0856 0FilterTrainInoerabilitAspresently written,T/S3.7.5.1allowsthecharcoaladsorberandHEPAfiltration unittobeinoperable foronly24hoursbeforeshutdownoftheplantmustbegin.Thisamountoftimeisnotsufficient toallowfororderlyfilterunitrepairandadequatepost-maintenance testing.Forexample,labtestingofthecharcoaladsorbermightberequiredduringpoweroperation becauseoftheT/Srequirement totestafterevery720hoursofadsorberoperation. | |||
Ifthecharcoalshouldconclusively failthelabtest,therepairwouldmostlikelyinvolveemptyingandrefilling all18charcoaltraysintheunit.Thisisatime-consuming process,becauseofthegreatcarenecessary toensurethatthe'charcoal ispackedsufficiently tighttopreventexcessive settlingandresultant bypass.Whenthisprocessiscomplete, leaktestingoftheadsorberbankmustbeperformed toensurethatnoexcessive bypassleakageoccurs.Becauserepairandtestingasdescribed aboveareessentially impossible to.completeina24-hourperiod,weareproposing toincreasetheallowable out-of-service timeforthefiltertrainfromthepresent24hoursto72hours.TheDonaldC.CookPlantwasthefirsttowhichStandardT/Sswereapplied.Becauseofsuchthingsasinconsistencies betweenspecifications thatcouldnotbeenvisioned beforethespecifications wereactuallyusedinoperation, itbecamenecessary tomodifytheT/Ssfromtimetotime.Becausesomanychangeswerenecessary, theT/SswerereissuedintotalinAmendment 12toUnit1,whichwasdatedMarch30,1976.Inyourstaff'sSafetyEvaluation Reportwhichaccompanied theamendment itwasstated:Manyofthetimesandfrequencies originally specified werearbitrary; operating experience indicates thatthesetimescanbeadjustedtoprovidetimeformoreorderlyandthoroughplanningandaccomplishment oftherequiredtasksandreducetheradiation exposureofplantpersonnel withoutasignificant impactonsafety.ItisourbeliefthatT/S3/4.7.5.1, whichhasnotbeenamendedsinceitsoriginalissue,fallsintothiscategory. | |||
Theextension to72hourswillallowmoreorderlymaintenance andtestingactivities, andshouldcontribute significantly toreducingthechanceofpersonnel error.Theincreaseintheprobability ofanaccidentduringtheadditional 48hoursisextremely small.Moreover, itisanticipated thatsomelevelofprotection wouldstillbeavailable intheeventofanaccident. | |||
Forexample,thedoorswhichconnectthecontrolroomscouldbeopened,thusallowingtheaffectedunittobenefitfromthefiltertrainintheotherunit,assumingitisavailable. | |||
Theaffectedunitcouldalsobeisolatedfromtheoutsideatmosphere, drastically reducingtheamountofcontaminated outdoorairwhichwouldentertheroom.(Theisolation procedure willbedescribed later,inthediscussion ofthechlorinedetection systemproposedT/Ss.)Lastly,respirators andself-contained breathing packsareavailable incloseproximity tothecontrolroom.Itistherefore ourbeliefthattheextension oftimewouldnotsignificantly compromise safety.Per10CFR50.92,aproposedamendment willinvolveanosignificant hazardsconsideration iftheproposedamendment doesnot: | |||
Attachment 1toAEP:NRC:0856 0(1)involveasignificant increaseintheprobability orconsequences ofanaccidentpreviously evaluated, (2)createthepossibility ofanewordifferent kindofaccidentfromanyaccidentpreviously analyzedorevaluated, or(3)involveasignificant reduction inamarginofsafety.Criterion 1Sincenophysicalchangeswillbenecessary totheplant,thisgroupofchangeswouldnotbeexpectedtoincreasetheprobability ofanaccident'evaluated previously. | |||
Sincethefiltertrainwillbepermitted tobeoutofserviceforalongerperiodoftime,thesignificance oftheconsequences ofanaccidentrequiring controlroomventilation filtration couldbeincreased. | |||
However,webelievethatthedecreased likelihood ofpersonnel errorinvolvedinfiltertrainrepair,theavailability ofotheralternatives foraccidentmitigation, andtheverysmalllikelihood ofanaccidentduringtheadditional out-of-service time,resultinthefactthatanyincreaseinaccidentconsequences wouldbeinsignificant. | |||
Criterion 2Sincenochangeswillresultinplantdesignoroperations, thisgroupofchangeswouldnotbeexpectedtocreatethepossibility ofanewordifferent kindofaccidentfromanyaccidentpreviously analyzedorevaluated. | |||
Criterion 3Thisrougpofchangesmayreduceamarginofsafety,butforthereasonsdetailedunderCriterion 1,above,anyreduction inasafetymarginisbelievedtobeinsignificant. | |||

Theactionstatements ofT/S3.7.5.1addresstheheatingandcoolingsystems,thepressurization fans,andthefiltertrain.Theydonot,however,specifically addressthepressureboundary. | |||
ThepurposeofthisproposedchangeistoclarifytheT/Spressurization requirements, sincethe1/16inchW.G.requirement islimitedtothecontrolroom,anddoesnotincludethemachineroomandP250computerroom,asdescribed intheintroduction tothisattachment andbelow.Ourinterpretation ofourpresentT/S3/4.7.5.1 isthatthepressureboundaryisapartofthefiltertrain,andthusfallsundertheactionstatements associated withit.Wedonotinterpret thepressurization fanactionstatement asapplicable, becauseitaddresses inoperability ofoneofthetworedundant fans,whereasthepressureboundary, likethefiltertrain,isnotredundant. | |||
Ourinterpretation hasbeendiscussed withMr.J.HayesofyourstaffduringhisApril2,1986visittotheD.C.CookPlant,andhasbeendocumented inourletterAEP:NRC:0975B, datedApril8,1986.BecausethepressureboundaryisanintegralpartoftheControlRoomEmergency Ventilation System,necessary tolimitamountsofunfiltered in-leakage towithinanalyzedlimits,weproposetodefineitasasubsystem oftheControlRoomVentilation System.Wehaveaddedanactionstatement (d)whichallowsthesameinoperability timeasproposedforthefiltertraininModes1through4,consistent withtheinterpre-tationdescribed previously. | |||
Wehavealsoincludedpressureboundaryrequirements inactionstatement (f),whichweareproposing toaddtoaddresscontrolroomhabitability requirements inModes5and6.Requirements forthisactionstatement weremadeconsistent withthoseproposedforthefiltertraininModes5and6.Furtherdetailsontheadditions ofMode5and6requirements willbeprovidedlater.Wealsoproposetoaddasurveillance requirement (4.7.5.1.e.4) forthepressureintheHVACmachineroomandP250computerroom.WehaveincludedasketchasFigure1whichillustrates thelayoutoftheareasandtheircommunication paths.Underradiological accidentconditions, thecontrolroomitselfwouldbemaintained atapositivepressureofatleast1/16inchW.G.relativetotheoutsideatmosphere byoperation ofoneoftheredundant pressurization fans.TheHVACmachineroomandtheP250roomwouldnotbeexpectedtobeenteredorexitedveryfrequently intheeventofanaccident, aswouldbeexpectedforthecontrolroomitself.Therefore, theirdesignprovidespressures aboveambient,butpotentially lowerthanthecontrolrooms.Thus,ourproposedT/S4.7.5.1.e.4 requiresasurveillance onan18-monthbasisto~erifythatpressures arepositivewithrespecttotheoutsideatmosphere. | |||

Therefore, positivemeasurement inthemachineroomwillensureapositivepressureinthecomputerroom.Asdiscussed previously, ourinterpretation ofT/S3/4.7.5.1 establishes thepressureboundaryasapartofthefiltertrain.Therefore, weareproposing anActiontimeof72hours,asproposedforthefiltertrain.Per10CFR50.92,aproposedamendment willinvolveanosignificant hazardsconsideration iftheproposedamendment doesnot:(1)involveasignificant increaseintheprobability orconsequences ofanaccidentpreviously evaluated, (2)createthepossibility ofanewordifferent kindofaccidentfromanyaccidentpreviously analyzedorevaluated, or(3)involveasignificant reduction inamarginofsafety.Criterion 1Thepurposeofthisgroupofchangesistoformalize intheT/Ssourinterpretation oftherelationofthecontrolroompressureboundarytotheControlRoomEmergency Ventilation System.Thisinterpretation haspreviously beendiscussed withtheNRCandhasbeendocumented inourletterAEP:NRC:0975B. | |||

Attachment 1toAEP:NRC:0856 05.AdditionofModes5and6Alicabilit andActionsGenericLetter83-37,whichconcerned NUREG-0737 Technical Specifications, statedthatT/Ssshouldrequirethat"twoindependent controlroomemergency aircleanupsystemsshouldbeoperablecontinuously duringallmodesofplantoperation andcapableofmeetingdesignrequirements." | |||
Becauseofthis,weareproposing thatT/S3.7.5.1fortheControlRoomEmergency Ventilation Systemberevisedtoincludetherequi,rement thatthissystembeoperableinallmodesratherthanjustModes1through4.Forinoperability ofthefiltertrainorthepressureboundary, orforthecaseofinoperability ofbothtrainsofredundant components, weproposesuspension ofalloperations involving corealterations orpositivereactivity changes.Thesechangesrepresent additional restrictions requiredbyNUREG-0737 andGenericLetter83-37,andinnowayreduceprevioussafetyrequirements. | |||

Thus,literalcompliance withallrequirements oftheANSIN510testingstandardcannotphysically beachieved.
The1980versionofANSIN510recognizes thatallventilation systemsarenotofANSIN509-1976 design.Section1.2ofANSIN510-1980 states:Itistheintentofthisstandardthatitberigorously appliedonlytosp'stemsdesignedandbuilttoANSIN509;however,sectionsofthisstandardmaybeusedfortechnical guidancefortestingofnon-N509systems.ANSIN510(1975and1980)requiresthatanair-aerosol mixinguniformity testbeperformed uponcompletion ofinitialsysteminstallation.

Ourtestsshowedaworse-case varianceof+42%,-30%ofthemeanconcentration.
However,readingsinthecenterofthesampleplane,wherethenormalupstreamsampleistakenforcharcoalandHEPAleaktesting,werewithin20%ofthemeanconcentration.
