LCO 3.0.2 LCO 3.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, theassociated ACTIONS shall be met. The Completion Time of each RequiredAction for an ACTIONS Condition is applicable from the point in time that anACTIONS Condition is entered.
The Required Actions establish those remedialmeasures that must be taken within specified Completion Times when therequirements of an LCO are not met. This Specification establishes that:a. Completion of the Required Actions within the specified Completion Times constitutes compliance with a Specification; andb. Completion of the Required Actions is not required when an LCO is metwithin the specified Completion Time, unless otherwise specified.
There are two basic types of Required Actions.
The first type of Required Actionspecifies a time limit in which the LCO must be met. This time limit is theCompletion Time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPEMBLEstatus or to restore variables to within specified limits. lf this type of RequiredAction is not completed within the specified Completion Time, a shutdown maybe required to place the unit in a MODE or condition in which the Specification isnot applicable.
(Whether stated as a Required Action or not, correction of theentered Condition is an action that may always be considered upon enteringACTIONS.)
The second type of Required Action specifies the remedialmeasures that permit continued operation of the unit that is not further restricted by the Completion Time. ln this case, compliance with the Required Actionsprovides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation.

LCO 3.0.8LCO 3.0.8 establishes conditions under which systems are considered to remaincapable of performing their intended safety function when associated snubbersare not capable of providing their associated support function(s).
This LCO statesthat the supported system is not considered to be inoperable solely due to one ormore snubbers not capable of performing their associated support function(s).
This is appropriate because a limited length of time is allowed for maintenance,
- testing, or repair of one or more snubbers not capable of performing theirassociated support function(s) and appropriate compensatory measures arespecified in the snubber requirements, which are located outside of the Technical Specifications (TS) under licensee control.
LCO 3.0.8 applies to snubbers thatonly have seismic function.
lt does not apply to snubbers that also have designfunctions to mitigate steam/water hammer or other transient loads. The snubberrequirements do not meet the criteria in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii),
and, as such, areappropriate for control by the licensee.
When applying LCO 3.0.8.a, at least one train of Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW)system must be OPEMBLE during MODES when AFW is required to beOPERABLE.
When applying LCO 3.0.8.a during MODES when AFW is notrequired to be OPERABLE, a core cooling method (such as Decay HeatRemoval(DHR) system) must be available.
When applying LCO 3.0.8.b, ameans of core cooling must remain available (AFW, DHR, equipment necessary for feed and bleed operations, etc.). Reliance on availabitity of a core coolingsource during modes where AFW is not required by TSs provides an equivalent safety margin for plant operations were LCO 3.0.8 not applied and meets theintent of Technical Specification Task Force Change Traveler TSTF-372, Revision 4, 'Addition of LCO 3.0.8, lnoperability of Snubbers."

When a snubber is to be rendered incapable of performing its related supportfunction (i.e., nonfunctional) for testing or maintenance or is discovered to not befunctional, it must be determined whether any system(s) require the affectedsnubbe(s) for system OPEMBLILITY, and whether the plant is in a MODE orspecified condition in the Applicability that requires the supported system(s) to beOPERABLE.
lf an analysis determines that the supported system(s) do not require thesnubber(s) to be functional in order to support the OPERABILITY of thesystem(s),
LCO 3.0.8 is not needed. lf the LCO(S) associated with any supported system(s) are not currently applicable (i.e., the plant is not in a MODE or otherspecified condition in the Applicability of the LCO), LCO 3.0.8 is not needed. lfthe supported system(s) are inoperable for reasons other than snubbers, LCO3.0.8 cannot be used. LCO 3.0.8 is an allowance, not a requirement.
When asnubber is nonfunctional, any supported system(s) may be declared inoperable instead of using LCO 3.0.8.Every time the provisions of LCO 3.0.8 are used, WBN Unit 1 willconfirm that atleast one train (or subsystem) of systems supported by the inoperable snubberswill remain capable of performing their required safety or support functions forpostulated design loads other than seismic loads. A record of the design functionCNL-16-061 Page E-23 of 30 of the inoperable snubber (i.e., seismic vs. non-seismic) and the associated plant configuration willbe available on a recoverable basis for NRC staff inspection.
LCO 3.0.8 does not apply to non-seismic snubbers.
The provisions of LCO 3.0.8are not to be applied to supported TS systems unless the supported systemswould remain capable of performing their required safety or support functions forpostulated design loads other than seismic loads. The risk impact of dynamicloadings other than seismic loads was not assessed as part of the development of LCO 3.0.8. These shocktype loads include thrust loads, blowdown loads,water-hammer loads, steam-hammer loads, LOCA loads and pipe rupture loads.However, there are some important distinctions between non-seismic (shocktype) loads and seismic loads which indicate that, in general, the riskimpact of the out-of-service snubbers is smaller for non-seismic loads than forseismic loads. First, while a seismic load affects the entire plant, the impact of anonseismic load is localized to a certain system or area of the plant. Second,although non-seismic shock loads may be higher in totalforce and the impactcould be as much or more than seismic loads, generally they are of much shorterduration than seismic loads. Third, the impact of non-seismic loads is more plantspecific, and thus harder to analyze generically, than for seismic loads. For thesereasons, every time LCO 3.0.8 is applied, at least one train of each system that issupported by the inoperable snubber(s) should remain capable of performing their required safety or support functions for postulated design loads other thanseismic loads.lf the allowed time expires and the snubber(s) are unable to perform theirassociated support function(s),

LCO 3.0.8.a applies when one or more snubbers are not capable of providing their associated support function(s) to a single train or subsystem of a multipletrain or subsystem supported system or to a single train or subsystem supported system.

lndustry and NRCguidance on the implementation of 10 CFR 50.65(aX4)

However, use of LCO 3.0.8 should be considered with respect to other plant maintenance activities, and integrated into the existingMaintenance Rule process to the extent possible so that maintenance on anyunaffected train or subsystem is properly controlled, and emergent issues areproperly addressed.
The risk assessment need not be quantified, but may be aqualitative awareness of the vulnerability of systems and components when one or more snubbers are not able to perform their associated supportfunction.
Revision 133Amendment 111Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.0-9b SR Applicability B 3.0BASES (continued)
SR 3.0.2 SR 3.0.2 establishes the requirements for meeting the specified Frequency for Surveillances and any Required Action with a Completion Time that requires theperiodic performance of the Required Action on a "once per . . ." interval.
SR 3.0.2 permits a 25o/o extension of the interval specified in the Frequency.
This extension facilitates Surveillance scheduling and considers plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the Surveillance (e.9.,transient conditions or other ongoing Surveillance or maintenance activities).
Ona one-time basis the surveillance interval for those surveillances listed in TSTable 3.0.2-1 are allowed to be extended as identified on Table SR 3.0.2-1.
Theone-time surveillance interval extensions expires on November 30,2017.The 25o/o extension does not significantly degrade the reliability that results fromperforming the Surveillance at its specified Frequency.
This is based on therecognition that the most probable result of any particular Surveillance beingperformed is the verification of conformance with the SRs. The exceptions toSR 3.0.2 are those Surveillances for which lhe 25o/o extension of the intervalspecified in the Frequency does not apply. These exceptions are stated in theindividual Specifications.
The requirements of regulations take precedence overthe TS. Therefore, when a test interval is specified in the regulations, the testinterval cannot be extended by the TS, and the surveillance requirement willinclude a note in the frequency
- stating, "SR 3.0.2 does not apply." An exampleof an exception when the test interval is not specified in the regulations, is thediscussion in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, that SR 3.0.2does not apply. This exception is provided because the program alreadyincludes extension of test intervals.
As stated in SR 3.0.2, the 25o/o extension also does not apply to the initial portionof a periodic Completion Time that requires performance on a "once per . . ."basis. The 25% extension applies to each performance after the initialperformance.
The initial performance of the Required Action, whether it is aparticular Surveillance or some other remedial action, is considered a singleaction with a single Completion Time. One reason for not allowing lhe 25o/oextension to this Completion Time is that such an action usually verifies that noloss of function has occurred by checking the status of redundant or diversecomponents or accomplishes the function of the inoperable equipment in analternative manner.The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are not intended to be used repeatedly merely as anoperational convenience to extend Surveillance intervals (other than thoseconsistent with refueling intervals) or periodic Completion Time intervals beyondthose specified, with the exception of surveillances required to be performed on a31-day frequency.
For surveillances performed on a 31-day frequency, thenormal surveillance interval may be extended in accordance with Specification 3.0.2 cyclically as required to remain synchronized to the 13-week maintenance work schedules.
This practice is acceptable based on the results of anevaluation of 31-day frequency surveillance test histories that demonstrate thatno adverse failure rate changes have occurred nor would be expected to developas a result of cyclical use of surveillance interval extensions and the fact that thetotal number of 31-day frequency surveillances performed in any one-year periodremains unchanged.

For the RWST, the deliverable volume is different from the totalvolume contained since, due to the design of the tank, more water can becontained than can be delivered.
The minimum boron concentration is an explicitassumption in the main steam line break (MSLB) analysis to ensure the requiredshutdown capability.
The maximum boron concentration is an explicit assumption in the inadvertent ECCS actuation
- analysis, although it is typically a nonlimiting event and the results are very insensitive to boron concentrations.
The maximumtemperature ensures that the amount of cooling provided from the RWST duringthe heatup phase of a feedline break is consistent with safety analysisassumptions;the minimum is an assumption in both the MSLB and inadvertent ECCS actuation
- analyses, although the inadvertent ECCS actuation event istypically nonlimiting.
The MSLB analysis has considered a delay associated with the interlock betweenthe VCT and RWST isolation valves, and the results show that the departure fromnucleate boiling design basis is met. The delay has been established as27 seconds, with offsite power available, or 37 seconds without offsite power.For a large break LOCA Analysis, the minimum water volume limit of 370,000gallons and the minimum boron concentration limit is used to compute the postLOCA sump boron concentration necessary to assure subcriticality.

The large break LOCA is the limiting case since the safety analysisassumes least negative reactivity insertion.
The upper limit on boron concentration of 3300 ppm is used to determine themaximum allowable time to switch to hot leg recirculation following a LOCA. Thepurpose of switching from cold leg to hot leg injection is to avoid boronprecipitation in the core following the accident.
ln the ECCS analysis, the containment spray temperature is assumed to be equalto the RWST lower temperature limit of 60"F. lf the lower temperature limit isviolated, the containment spray further reduces containment
- pressure, whichdecreases the rate at which steam can be vented out the break and increases peak clad temperature.
The acceptable temperature range of 60'F to 105'F isassumed in the large break LOCA analysis, and the small break analysis valuebounds the upper temperature limit of 105'F. The upper temperature limit of105'F is also used in the containment OPEMBILITY analysis.
Exceeding theupper temperature limit will result in a higher peak clad temperature, becausethere is less heat transfer from the core to the injected water following a LOCAand higher containment pressures due to reduced containment spray coolingcapacity.
For the containment response following an MSLB, the lower limit onboron concentration and the upper limit on RWST water temperature are used tomaximize the total energy release to containment.
The RWST satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.
LCOThe RWST ensures that an adequate supply of borated water is available to cooland depressurize the containment in the event of a Design Basis Accident (DBA),to cool and cover the core in the event of a LOCA, to maintain the reactorsubcritical following a DBA, and to ensure adequate level in the containment sump to support ECCS and Containment Spray System pump operation in therecirculation mode.To be considered

lt is preferred that the air lock beaccessed from inside containment by entering through the other OPEMBLE airlock. However, if this is not practicable, or if repairs on either door must beperformed from the barrel side of the door then it is permissible to enter the airlock through the OPERABLE door which means there is a short time during whichthe containment boundary is not intact (during access through the OPERABLEdoor). The ability to open the OPERABLE door, even if it means the containment boundary is temporarily not intact, is acceptable due to the low probability of anevent that could pressurize the containment during the short time in which theOPERABLE door is expected to be open. After each entry and exit, theOPERABLE door must be immediately closed.A second Note has been added to provide clarification that, for this LCO,separate Condition entry is allowed for each air lock. This is acceptable, sincethe Required Actions for each Condition provide appropriate compensatory actions for each inoperable air lock.

These administrative controls consist of stationing a dedicated operator (licensed or unlicensed) at thevalve controls, who is in continuous communication with the control room. ln thisway, the penetration can be rapidly isolated when a need for containment isolation is indicated.
For valve controls located in the control room, an operator(other than the Shift Operations Supervisor (SOS), ASOS, or the Operator at theControls) may monitor containment isolation signal status rather than bestationed at the valve controls.
Other secondary responsibilities which do notprevent adequate monitoring of containment isolation signal status may beperformed by the operator provided his/her primary responsibility is rapidisolation of the penetration when needed for containment isolation.
Use of theUnit Control Room Operator (CRO) to perform this function should be limited tothose situations where no other operator is available.

Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.6-17Revision 130 Containment PressureB 3.6.4B 3 6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMSB 3.6.4 Containment PressureBASESBACKGROUND The containment pressure is limited during normal operation to preserve theinitial conditions assumed in the accident analyses for a loss of coolant accident(LOCA) or steam line break (SLB). These limits also prevent the containment pressure from exceeding the containment design negative pressure differential
(-2.0 psid) with respect to the Shield Building annulus atmosphere in the event ofinadvertent actuation of the Containment Spray System or Air Return Fans.Containment pressure is a process variable that is monitored and controlled.
The containment pressure limits are derived from the input conditions used in thecontainment functional analyses and the containment structure external pressureanalysis.
Should operation occur outside these limits coincident with a DesignBasis Accident (DBA), post accident containment pressures could exceedcalculated values.APPLICABLE SAFEry ANALYSESContainment internal pressure is an initialcondition used in the DBAanalyses to establish the maximum peak containment internal pressure.
Thelimiting DBAs considered, relative to containment
- pressure, are the LOCA andSLB, which are analyzed using computer pressure transients.
The worst caseLOCA generates larger mass and energy release than the worst case SLB.Thus, the LOCA event bounds the SLB event from the containment peakpressure standpoint (Ref. 1).The initial pressure condition used in the containment analysis was 15.0 psia.This resulted in a maximum peak pressure from a LOCA of 9.36 psig. Thecontainment analysis (Ref. 1) shows that the maximum allowable internalcontainment
- pressure, P" (15.0 psig), bounds the calculated results from thelimiting LOCA. The maximum containment pressure resulting from the worstcase LOCA, does not exceed the containment design pressure, 13.5 psig.(continued)

The operation of the ice condenser, is adequate to assure pressure suppression during the initial blowdown of steam and water from a DBA. During the postblowdown period, the Air Return System (ARS) is automatically started.
TheARS returns upper compartment air through the divider barrier to the lowercompartment.
This seryes to equalize pressures in containment and to continuecirculating heated air and steam through the ice condenser, where heat isremoved by the remaining ice and by the Containment Spray System after theice has melted.The Containment Spray System limits the temperature and pressure that couldbe expected following a DBA. Protection of containment integrity limits leakageof fission product radioactivity from containment to the environment.
APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSESThe limiting DBAs considered relative to containment OPERABILITY are theloss of coolant accident (LOCA) and the steam line break (SLB). The DBALOCA and SLB are analyzed using computer codes designed to predict theresultant containment pressure and temperature transients.
No two DBAs areassumed to occur simultaneously or consecutively.
The postulated DBAs areanalyzed, in regard to containment ESF systems, assuming the loss of one ESFbus, which is the worst case single active failure, resulting in one train of theContainment Spray System, the RHR System, and the ARS being renderedinoperable (Ref. 2).The DBA analyses show that the maximum peak containment pressure of9.36 psig results from the LOCA analysis, and is calculated to be less than thecontainment design pressure.

When the HMS is initiated, the ignitor elements are energized and heat up to asurface temperature
> 't700"F.
At this temperature, they ignite the hydrogen gasthat is present in the airspace in the vicinity of the ignitor.
The HMS depends onthe dispersed location of the ignitors so that local pockets of hydrogen atincreased concentrations would burn before reaching a hydrogen concentration significantly higher than the lower flammability limit. Hydrogen ignition in thevicinity of the ignitors is assumed to occur when the local hydrogen concentration reaches a minimum 5.0 volume percent (v/o).APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSESThe HMS causes hydrogen in containment to burn in a controlled manneras it accumulates following a degraded core accident (Ref. 3). Burning occurs atthe lower flammability concentration, where the resulting temperatures andpressures are relatively benign. Without the system, hydrogen could build up tohigher concentrations that could result in a violent reaction if ignited by a randomignition source after such a buildup.The hydrogen ignitors have been shown by probabilistic risk analysis to be asignificant contributor to limiting the severity of accident sequences that arecommonly found to dominate risk for plants with ice condenser containments.
Assuch, the hydrogen ignitors are considered to be risk significant in accordance with the NRC Policy Statement.

Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.6-50Revision 128 Shield BuildingB 3.6.1 5B 3.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMSB 3.6.15 Shield BuildingBASESBACKGROUND The shield building is a concrete structure that surrounds the steel containment vessel. Between the containment vessel and the shield building inner wall is anannular space that collects containment leakage that may occur following a lossof coolant accident (LOCA) as well as other design basis accidents (DBAs) thatrelease radioactive material.
This space also allows for periodic inspection of theouter surface of the steel containment vessel.During normal operations when containment integrity is required, annulus vacuumis established and maintained by the annulus vacuum control subsystem.
lnemergencies, in which containment isolation is required, this subsystem isisolated and shut down because it performs no safety-related function (Ref.4).The nominal negative pressure for the annulus vacuum control equipment is 5-inches of water gauge. This negative pressure level, chosen for normaloperation, ensures that the annulus pressure will not reach positive values duringthe annulus pressure surge produced by a LOCA in the primary containment.
The annulus vacuum control subsystem also aids in containment pressure reliefby exhausting to the auxiliary building exhaust stack the containment vent air thatgoes through the containment vent air clean up units and is discharged into theannulus.During an emergency, the Emergency Gas Treatment System (EGTS)establishes a negative pressure in the annulus between the shield building andthe steel containment vessel. Filters in the system then controlthe release ofradioactive contaminants to the environment.
The shield building is required tobe OPEMBLE to ensure retention of containment leakage and proper operation of the EGTS.Several normal plant evolutions can cause the annulus pressure to exceed itslimits briefly; containment
- venting, both the normal or alternate method, testing ofthe EGTS, annulus entries, and auxiliary building isolations.
These activities cause an inrush of air into the annulus, lowering in the annulus vacuum until theannulus vacuum control fans can return annulus vacuum to within limits.The containment vent system is a non-safety related system, which providescontinuous pressure relief during normal operation, by allowing containment airoutflow through the 8-inch containment penetration through two 100% redundant air cleanup units (ACUs), containing HEPA/charcoalfilters, into the annulus withthe motive force being the pressure differential between the containment and theannulus.
Depending on the inflow into the annulus when containment vent isinitiated, annulus pressure may not be within limits untilthe annulus vacuum(continued)
Revision 129Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.6-95 Shield BuildingB 3.6.15BASESBACKGROUND (continued) control system can recover the annulus vacuum.An alternate containment pressure relief function (containment vent) is providedby way of a configuration alignment in the reactor building purge ventilating system. This function is accomplished by opening lower compartment purgelines (one supply and one exhaust) or one of the two pairs of lines (one supplyand one exhaust) in the upper compartment.
To prevent inadvertent pressurization of containment due to supply and exhaust side ductwork flowimbalances, the supply ductwork airflow may be temporarily throttled as needed(Ref.5).During resting of the EGTS, alignment of the system to the annulus for the testcauses an inrush of air from the EGTS ducting increasing annulus pressure.
Thisinrush of air can cause annulus pressure to exceed the annulus pressure limituntilthe EGTS fan is started, stopping the inrush allowing the annulus vacuumcontrol fan to restore annulus pressure to within limits.APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSESThe design basis for shield building OPERABILITY is a LOCA.Maintaining shield building OPERABILITY ensures that the release of radioactive materialfrom the containment atmosphere is restricted to those leakage pathsand associated leakage rates assumed in the accident analyses.
The shield building satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.
LCOShield building OPERABILITY must be maintained to ensure proper operation ofthe EGTS and to limit radioactive leakage from the containment to those pathsand leakage rates assumed in the accident analyses.
APPLICABILITY Maintaining shield building OPEMBILITY prevents leakage of radioactive material from the shield building.
Radioactive material may enter the shieldbuilding from the containment following a DBA. Therefore, shield buildingOPERABILIW is required in MODES 1,2,3, and 4 when DBAs could releaseradioactive material to the containment atmosphere.
ln MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are lowdue to the Reactor Coolant System temperature and pressure limitations in theseMODES. Therefore, shield building OPERABILITY is not required in MODE 5or 6.(continued)

With both EGTScontrol loops in A-Auto, both trains will function upon initiation of a Containment lsolation Phase A (ClA) signal. ln the event of a LOCA, the annulus vacuumcontrol system isolates and both trains of the EGTS p.essure control loops will beplaced in service to maintain the required negative pressure.
lf annulus vacuumis lost during normal operations, the A-Auto position is unaffected by the loss ofvacuum. This operational configuration is acceptable because the accident doseanalysis conservatively assumes the annulus is at atmospheric pressure at eventinitiation.

The verification is done during shutdown.
sR 3.6.15.4The EGTS is required to maintain a pressure equal to or more negative than-0.50 inches of water gauge ("wg) in the annulus at an elevation equivalent to thetop of the Auxiliary Building.
At elevations higher than the Auxiliary
- Building, theEGTS is required to maintain a pressure equalto or more negative than -0.25"wg. The low pressure sense line for the pressure controller is located in theannulus at elevation 783. By verifying that the annulus pressure is equal to ormore negative than -0.61 "wg at elevation 783, the annulus pressurization requirements stated above are met. The ability of a EGTS train with final flow >3600 and s 4400 cfm to produce the required negative pressure during the testoperation provides assurance that the building is adequately sealed. Thenegative pressure prevents leakage from the building, since outside air will bedrawn in by the low pressure at a maximum rate < 250 cfm.

Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.6-99Revision 15, 29, 101 , 129 CCSB 3.7.7B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMSB 3.7.7 Component Cooling System (CCS)BASESBACKGROUND The CCS provides a heat sink for the removal of process and operating heat fromsafety related components during a Design Basis Accident (DBA) or transient.
During normal operation, the CCS also provides this function for variousnonessential components, as well as the spent fuel storage pool. The CCSserves as a barrier to the release of radioactive byproducts between potentially radioactive systems and the Essential Raw Cooling Water (ERCW) System, andthus to the environment.
The CCS is arranged as two independent, full-capacity cooling trains, Train A andB. Train A in unit 1 is served by CCS Hx A and CCS pump 1A-A. Pump 1B-B,which is actually Train B equipment, is also normally aligned to the Train Aheader in unit 1. However, pump 1B-B can be realigned to Train B on loss ofTrain A.Train B is served by CCS Hx C. Normally, only CCS pump C-S is aligned to theTrain B header since few nonessential, normally-operating loads are assigned toTrain B. However, pump 1B-B can be realigned to the Train B header on a lossof the C-S pump.ln addition, CCS Pump 2B-B may be substituted for CCS Pump C-S supplying the CCS Train B header provided the OPERABILITY requirements for the pumpare met and the pump is in operation.
CCS Pump 2B-B only receives a safetyinjection (Sl) actuation signal from Unit 2. The presence of a Unit 1 Sl signal willhave no effect on CCS Pump 2B-B. lf CCS Pump 2B-B is aligned as a substitute for CCS Pump C-S, then Unit 1 CCS Train B would not be OPERABLE becauseCCS pump 2B-B does not start if a Unit 1 Sl signal is generated.
- However, ifCCS Pump 2B-B pump is in operation, and an Sl Signal is generated, it willcontinue to operate.
ln the event of a loss of offsite power, with or without an Slsignal present, CCS pump 2B-B will be automatically sequenced onto itsrespective diesel and continue to perform its required safety function.
Each safety related train is powered from a separate bus. An open surge tank inthe system provides pump trip protective functions to ensure that sufficient netpositive suction head is available.
lt is preferred that the 1B and 28 surge tanksections be aligned o the associated operable CCS pump(s);
- however, aligning asingle 1B or 28 surge tank section provides an operable surge tank for theassociated pump(s).The pump in each train is automatically started on receipt ofa Sl signal, and all nonessential components will be manually isolated.

CCS Train B is also considered OPEMBLE when:a. Pump 2B-B and associated surge tank are OPEMBLE; andb. Pump 2B-B is in operation; andc. The associated piping, valves, heat exchanger, and instrumentation andcontrols required to perform the safety related function are OPERABLE.
The isolation of CCS from other components or systems not required for safetymay render those components or systems inoperable but does not affect theOPERABILITY of the CCS.APPLICABILITY ln MODES 1,2,3, and 4, the CCS is a normally operating system, which must beprepared to perform its post accident safety functions, primarily RCS heatremoval, which is achieved by cooling the RHR heat exchanger.
ln MODE 5 or 6, the OPERABILITY requirements of the CCS are determined bythe systems it supports.
ACTIONSA.1Required Action A.1 is modified by a Note indicating that the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.4.6, "RCS Loops-MODE 4," beentered if an inoperable CCS train results in an inoperable RHR loop. This is anexception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for thesecomponents.

Verification of the correct poweralignment ensures that the two CCS trains remain independent.
The 7-dayFrequency is based on engineering

sR 3.7.7.2This SR is modified by a Note indicating that the isolation of the CCS flow toindividual components may render those components inoperable but does notaffect the OPERABILITY of the CCS.Verifying the correct alignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valvesin the CCS flow path provides assurance that the proper flow paths exist for CCSoperation.
This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, since these valves are verified to be in the correct positionprior to locking,
- sealing, or securing.
This SR also does not apply to valves thatcannot be inadvertently misaligned, such as check valves. This Surveillance does not require any testing or valve manipulation; rather, it involves verification that those valves capable of being mispositioned are in the correct position.
The 31 day Frequency is based on engineering

sR 3.7.7.3This SR verifies proper automatic operation of the CCS valves on an actual orsimulated actuation signal. The CCS is a normally operating system that cannotbe fully actuated as part of routine testing during normal operation.
ThisSurveillance is not required for valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the required position under administrative control.
The 18 monthFrequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a unit outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if theSurveillance were performed with the reactor at power. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 18 month Frequency.
Therefore, the Frequency is acceptable from areliability standpoint.

Therefore, the Frequency is acceptable fromreliability standpoint.
The SR is modified by a Note that eliminates the requirement to verify CCS pump2B-B starts automatically on an actual or simulated Unit 1 Sl actuation signal.Because CCS pump 2B-B is supporting Unit 1 operation and the pump does notreceive a Unit 1 Sl actuation signal, ensuring CSS pump 2B-B is in operation ensures the pump will continue to operate if a condition requiring a Unit 1 Slactuation signal exists. lf a LOOP occurs, the SR continues to require verification of an automatic start on a simulated or actual loss of offsite power actuation signal.sR 3.7.7.5This SR assures the operability of Unit 1 CCS Train B when CCS Pump 2B-B issubstituted for CCS Pump C-S. Because CCS Pump 2B-B does not receive a Slactuation signal from Unit 1, by verifying the pump is aligned and in operation, assurance is provided that Unit 2 CCS Train B will be operable in the event of aUnit 2 Sl actuation with a loss of CCS Train A.This SR is modified by a Note that states the alignment and operating verification requirement is only required to be met when CCS pump 2B-B is being used tosupport the OPERABILITY of CCS Train B. When CCS pump 2B-B is notsupporting the OPERABILITY of CCS Train B the other SRs provide thenecessary and appropriate verifications of the CCS Train OPERABILITY.
The Frequency of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is sufficient considering other indications and alarmsavaihbb to the operator in the control room to monitor CCS performance.

Revision 64, 107, 134Amendment 50, 85, 112Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.7-59a AC Sources - Operating B381BASESBACKGROUND A single offsite circuit is capable of providing the ESF loads. Two of these(continued) circuits are required to meet the Limiting Condition for Operation.
The onsite standby power source for each 6.9 kV shutdown board is a dedicated DG. WBN uses 4 DG sets for Unit 1 operation.
These same DGs will be sharedfor Unit 2 operation.
A DG starts automatically on a safety injection (Sl) signal I(i.e., low pressurizer pressure or high containment pressure signals) or on an 6.9kV shutdown board degraded voltage or loss-of-voltage signal (refer toLCO 3.3.5, "Loss of Power (LOP) DieselGenerator (DG) Start lnstrumentation").
After the DG has started, it will automatically tie to its respective 6.9 kV shutdownboard after offsite power is tripped as a consequence of 6.9 kV shutdown boardloss-of-voltage or degraded
- voltage, independent of or coincident with an Slsignal. The DGs will also start and operate in the standby mode without tying tothe 6.9 kV shutdown board on an Sl signal alone. Following the trip of offsitepower, a loss-of-voltage signal strips all nonpermanent loads from the 6.9 kVshutdown board. When the DG is tied to the 6.9 kV shutdown board, loads arethen sequentially connected to its respective 6.9 kV shutdown board by theautomatic sequencer.
The sequencing logic controls the permissive and startingsignals to motor breakers to prevent overloading the DG by automatic loadapplication.
ln the event of a loss of preferred power, the 6.9 kV shutdown boards areautomatically connected to the DGs in sufficient time to provide for safe reactorshutdown and to mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident (DBA)such as a LOCA.Certain required plant loads are returned to service in a predetermined sequencein order to prevent overloading the DG in the process.
Within the requiredinterval (FSAR Table 8.3-3) after the initiating signal is received, all automatic andpermanently connected loads needed to recover the plant or maintain it in a safecondition are returned to service.Ratings for Train 1A, 18, 2A and 28 DGs satisfy the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). The continuous service rating of each DG is 21400 kW with10olo overload permissible for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in any 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period. The ESF loadsthat are powered from the 6.9 kV shutdown boards are listed in Reference 2.The capability is provided to connect a 6.9 kV FLEXS DG to supply power to anyof the four 6.9 kV shutdown boards. The 6.9 kV FLEX DG is commercial-grade and not designed to meet Class 1E requirements.
The FLEX DG is madeavailable to support extended Completion Times in the event of an inoperable DG. The FLEX DG is made available as a defense-in-depth alternate source ofAC power to mitigate a loss of offsite power event. The FLEX DG would remaindisconnected rom the Class 1E distribution system unless required during a lossof offsite power.(continued)
Revision 125,132Amendment 84, 103, 1 10Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.8-2 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1BASES (continued)
APPLICABLE The initial conditions of DBA and transient analyses in theSAFEry ANALYSES FSAR, Section 6 (Ref. 4) and Section 15 (Ref. 5), assume ESF systems areOPERABLE.
The AC electrical power sources are designed to provide sufficient
- capacity, capability, redundancy, and reliability to ensure the availability ofnecessary power to ESF systems so that the fuel, Reactor Coolant System(RCS), and containment design limits are not exceeded.
These limits arediscussed in more detail in the Bases for Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits;Section 3.4, Reactor Goolant System (RCS); and Section 3.6, Containment Systems.The OPEMBILITY of the AC electrical power sources is consistent with the initialassumptions of the Accident analyses and is based upon meeting the designbasis of the plant. This results in maintaining at least two DG's associated withone load group or one offsite circuit OPERABLE during Accident conditions in theevent of:a. An assumed loss of all offsite power or all onsite AC power; andb. A worst case single failure.The AC sources satisfy Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2xii).
LCO Two qualified circuits between the Watts Bar Hydro 161 kV switchyard and theonsite Class 1E Electrical Power System and separate and independent DGs foreach train ensure availability of the required power to shut down the reactor andmaintain it in a safe shutdown condition after an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO) or a postulated DBA.Qualified offsite circuits are those that are described in the FSAR and are part ofthe licensing basis for the plant.Each offsite circuit must be capable of maintaining acceptable frequency andvoltage, and accepting required loads during an accident, while connected to the6.9 kV shutdoup boards.Offsite power from the Watts Bar Hydro 161 kV switchyard to the onsite Class 1Edistribution system is from two independent immediate access circuits.
Each ofthe two required circuits are routed from the switchyard through a 161 kVtransmission line and one of four 161 to 6.9 kV transformers (common stationservice transformers (CSSTs))
to the onsite Class '1E distribution system.Normally the two required circuits are aligned to power the 6.9 kV shutdownboards through CSST C and CSST D. However, one of the two required circuitsmay also be aligned to power two shutdown boards in the same load groupthrough either CSST A or CSST B and its associated Unit Boards, either directlyfrom the CSST through the Unit Board or by automatic transfer from the UnitStation Service Transformer (USST) to the CSST. Use of CSST A or B as an(continued)

A.3According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue inCondition A for a period that should not exceed 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. With one requiredoffsite circuit inoperable, the reliability of the offsite system is degraded, and thepotential for a loss of offsite power is increased, with attendant potential for achallenge to the plant safety systems.
ln this Condition,
- however, the remaining OPERABLE offsite circuit and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to theonsite Class 1E Distribution System.The72 hour Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability ofthe remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.The second Completion Time for Required Action A.3 establishes a limit on themaximum time allowed for any combination of required AC power sources to beinoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. lfCondition A is entered while, for instance, a DG is inoperable and that DG issubsequently returned
- OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been not met forup to 10 days. This could lead to a total of 13 days, since initial failure to meetthe LCO, to restore the offsite circuit.
At this time, a DG could again becomeinoperable, the circuit restored
- OPEMBLE, and an additional 10 days (for a totalof 23 days) allowed prior to complete restoration of the LCO. The 13 dayCompletion Time provides a limit on the time allowed in a specified condition afterdiscovery of failure to meet the LCO. This limit is considered reasonable forsituations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently.
The'AND"connector between the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> and 13 day Completion Times means that bothCompletion Times apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive Completion Time must be met.As in Required Action A.2, the Completion Time allows for an exception to thenormal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock.'
This will resultin establishing the'timE zero" althe time that the LCO was initially not met,instead of at the time Condition A was entered.(continued)
Revision 125, 132Amendment 103, 1 10Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.8-7 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1BASESACTIONS B.1 and C.1(continued)
To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with one or more DGsinoperable in Train A OR with one or more DGs inoperable in Train B, it isnecessary to verify the availability of the required offsite circuits on a morefrequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies "perform,"
a failure ofSR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action being not met.However, if a circuit fails to pass SR 3.8.1.1, it is inoperable.
Upon requiredoffsite circuit inoperability, additional Conditions and Required Actions must thenbe entered.8.2ln order to extend the Required Action B.5 Completion Time for an inoperable DGlrom 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to 1 0 days, it is necessary to evaluate the availability of the 6.9 kVFLEX DG within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> upon entry into LCO 3.8.1 and every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter.
Since Required Action B.2 only specifies "evaluate,"
discovering the 6.9 kV FLEXDG unavailable does not result in the Required Action being not met (i.e., theevaluation is performed).
- However, on discovery of an unavailable 6.9 kV FLEXDG, the Completion Time for Required Action B.5 starts lhe72 hour and/or 24hour clock.6.9 kV FLEX DG availability requires that:1) 6.9 kV FLEX DG fuel tank level is verified locally to be ) 8-hour supply; and2) 6.9 kV FLEX DG supporting system parameters for starting and operating are verified to be within required limits for functional availability (e.9., batter stateof charge).The 6.9 kV FLEX DG is not used to extend the Completion Time for more thanone inoperable DG at any one time.8.3 and C.2Required Actions 8.3 and C.2 are intended to provide assurance that a loss ofoffsite power, during the period that a DG is inoperable, does not result in acomplete loss of safety function of critical systems.
These features are designedwith redundant safety related trains. This includes motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps. Single train systems, such as the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump, are not included.
Redundant required feature failures consist ofinoperable features associated with a train, redundant to the train that hasinoperable DG(s).The Completion Time for Required Actions B.3 and C.2 are intended to allow theoperator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities.
ThisCompletion Time also allows for an exception to the normal 'time zero" forbeginning the allowed outage time "clock."

lf at any time during the existence of this Condition (one or more DGs inoperable) a required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this Completion Timewould begin to be tracked.Discovering one or more required DGs in Train A or one or more DGs in Train Binoperable coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported

The 4 hourCompletion Time takes into account the OPEMBILITY of the redundant counterpart to the inoperable required feature.
Additionally, the 4 hourCompletion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBAoccurring during this period.8.4.1.8.4.2.
C.3.1 and C.3.2Required Actions B.4.1 and C.3.1 provide an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of OPERABLE DG. lf it can be determined that the cause of theinoperable DG(s) does not exist on the OPERABLE DG(s), SR 3.8.1.2 does nothave to be performed.
For the performance of a Surveillance, Required ActionB.4.1 is considered satisfied since the cause of the DG(s) being inoperable isapparent.
lf the cause of inoperability exists on other DG(s), the other DG(s)would be declared inoperable upon discovery and Condition F of LCO 3.8.1 wouldbe entered if the other inoperable DGs are not on the same train, otherwise, if theother inoperable DGs are on the same train, the unit is in Condition C. Once thefailure is repaired, the common cause failure no longer exists, and RequiredActions B.4.1 and 8..2 are satisfied.
lf the cause of the initial inoperable DGcannot be confirmed not to exist on the remaining DG(s), performance ofSR 3.8.1.2 suffices to provide assurance of continued OPEMBILITY of thatDG(s).ln the event the inoperable DG(s) is restored to OPERABLE status prior tocompleting either 8.4.'1 ,8.4.2, C.3.1 or C.3.2, the corrective action program willcontinue to evaluate the common cause possibility.
This continued evaluation,

Therefore, when on DG is inoperable due to either preplanned maintenance (Preventive or corrective) or unplanned corrective maintenance work, theCompletion Time can be extended from72 hours to 10 days if the 6.9 kV FLEXDG is verified available for backup operation.
The Fourth Completion Time for Required Action B.5 establishes a limit on themaximum time allowed for any combination of required AC power sources to beinoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. lfCondition B is entered while, for instance, an offsite circuit is inoperable and thatcircuit is subsequently restored
- OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been notmet for up to 3 days. This could lead to a total of 13 days, since initial failure tomeet the LCO, to restore the DGs. At this Time, an offsite circuit could againbecome inoperable, the DGs restored
- OPERABLE, and an additionalT2 hours(for a total of 20 days) allowed prior to complete restoration of the LCO. The 13-day Completion Time provides a limit on time allowed in a specified condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO. This limit is considered reasonable forsituations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently.

Revision 50, 65, 125, 132Amendment 39, 84, 1 10Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3 8-11 AC Sources - Operating B3.8 1BASESACTIONS(contin ued)D.1 and D.2 IRequired Action D.1, which applies when two required offsite circuits are Iinoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident singlefailure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions.
The Completion Time for this failure of redundant required features is reduced to12 hours from that allowed for one train without offsite power (Required Action A.2). The rationale for the reduction to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is that Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6) allows a Completion Time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for two required offsitecircuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trainsare OPERABLE.
When a concurrent redundant required feature failure exists,this assumption is not the case, and a shorter Completion Time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> isappropriate.
These features are powered from redundant AC safe$ trains. Thisincludes motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps. Single train features, such asthe turbine driven auxiliary pump, are not included in the list.The Completion Time for Required Action D.1 is intended to allow the operator Itime to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities.
This Completion Timealso allows for an exception to the normal "time zero'for beginning the allowedoutage time "clock."
ln this Required Action the Completion Time only begins ondiscovery that both:a. All required offsite circuits are inoperable; andb. A required feature is inoperable.
lf at any time during the existence of Condition D (two required offsite circuit.
linoperable) a required feature becomes inoperable, this Completion Time beginsto be tracked.According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue inCondition D for a period that should not exceed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This level ofdegradation means that the offsite electrical power system does not have thecapability to effect a safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of an accident;
- however, the onsite AC sources have not been degraded.
This level ofdegradation generally corresponds to a total loss of the immediately accessible offsite power sources.Because of the normally high availability of the offsite sources, this level ofdegradation may appear to be more severe than other combinations of two ACsources inoperable (e.9., combinations that involve an offsite circuit and one DGinoperable, or one or more DGs in each train inoperable).
- However, two factorstend to decrease the severity of this level of degradation:

Revision 50, 125, 132Amendment 39, 84, 103, 1 10Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.8-12 AC Sources - Operating B3.8 1BASESACTIONSD.1 and D.2 (continued)
- a. The configuration of the redundant AC electrical power system thatremains available is not susceptible to a single bus or switching failure;andb. The time required to detect and restore an unavailable required offsitepower source is generally much less than that required to detect andrestore an unavailable onsite AC source.With both of the required offsite circuits inoperable, sufficient onsite AC sourcesare available to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition in the event of aDBA or transient.
ln fact, a simultaneous loss of offsite AC sources, a LOCA, anda worst case single failure were postulated as a part of the design basis in thesafety analysis.
Thus, lhe24 hour Completion Time provides a period of time toeffect restoration of one of the offsite circuits commensurate with the importance of maintaining an AC electrical power system capable of meeting its designcriteria.
According to Reference 6, with the available offsite AC sources, two less thanrequired by the LCO, operation may continu e for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. lf two offsite sourcesare restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, unrestricted operation may continue.
lf only oneoffsite source is restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, power operation continues inaccordance with Condition A.E.1 and E.2Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Distribution System ACTIONS would not be enteredeven if allAC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization.
Therefore, the Required Actions of Condition E are modified by a Note to indicatethat when Condition E is entered with no AC source to any train, the Conditions and Required Actions for LCO 3.8.9, "Distribution Systems - Operating,"
must beimmediately entered.
This allows Condition E to provide requirements for the lossof one offsite circuit and one or more DGs in a train, without regard to whether atrain is de-energized.
LCO 3.8.9 provides the appropriate restrictions for ade-energized train.According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue inCondition E for a period that should not exceed 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.(continued)
Revision 50, 125, 132Amendment 39, 84, 103, 110Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3 8-1 3 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1BASESACTIONS E.1 and E.2 (continued) lln Condition E, individual redundancy is lost in both the offsite electricalpower Isystem and the onsite AC electrical power system. Since power systemredundancy is provided by two diverse sources of power, however, the reliability of the power systems in this Condition may appear higher than that in Condition D I(loss of both required offsite circuits).
This difference in reliability is offset by thesusceptibility of this power system configuration to a single bus or switching failure.
The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the capacity andcapability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the lowprobability of a DBA occurring during this period.F.1 and F.2 IWith one or more DGs in Train A inoperable simultaneous with one or more DGs Iin Train B inoperable, there are no remaining standby AC sources.
Thus, with anassumed loss of offsite electrical power, insufficient standby AC sources areavailable to power the minimum required ESF functions.
Since the offsiteelectrical power system is the only source of AC power for this level ofdegradation, the risk associated with continued operation for a very short timecould be less than that associated with an immediate controlled shutdown (theimmediate shutdown could cause grid instability, which could result in a total lossof AC power). Since any inadvertent generator trip could also result in a total lossof offsite AC power, however, the time allowed for continued operation is severelyrestricted.
The intent here is to avoid the risk associated with an immediate controlled shutdown and to minimize the risk associated with this level ofdegradation.
According to Reference 6, with one or more DGs in Train A inoperable simultaneous with one or more DGs in Train B inoperable, operation maycontinue for a period that should not exceed 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.G.1 and G.2,tth" t"*rble AC electric power sources cannot be restored to OPEMBLEstatus within the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODEin which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must bebrought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. Theallowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, toreach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderlymanner and without challenging plant systems.(continued)
Revision 50, 125, 132Amendment 39, 84, 1 10Watts Bar-Unit 1B 3.8-14 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1BASESACTIONS(continued)
H.1 and 1.1Condition H and Condition I corresponds to a level of degradation in which allredundancy in the AC electrical power supplies cannot be guaranteed.
At thisseverely degraded level, any further losses in the AC electrical power system willcause a loss of function.
Therefore, no additional time is justified for continued operation.
The plant is required by LCO 3.0.3 to commence a controlled shutdown.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS The AC sources are designed to permit inspection and testing of all important areas and features, especially those that have a standby function, in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 18 (Ref. 8). Periodic component tests aresupplemented by extensive functional tests during refueling outages (undersimulated accident conditions).
The SRs for demonstrating the OPEMBILITY ofthe DGs are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.9(Ref. 3) and Regulatory Guide 1.137 (Ref. 9), as addressed in the FSAR.Where the SRs discussed herein specify voltage and frequency tolerances, thefollowing is applicable.
6800 volts is the minimum steady state output voltageand the 10 second transient value. 6800 volts is 98.6% of the nominal busvoltage of 6900 V corrected for instrument error and is the upper limit of theminimum voltage required for the DG supply breaker to close on the 6.9 kVshutdown board. The specified maximum steady state output voltage of 7260Yis 1 10% of the nameplate rating of the 6600 V motors. The specified 3 secondtransient value of 6555 V is 95% of the nominal bus voltage of 6900 V. Thespecified maximum transient value of 8880 V is the maximum equipment withstand value provided by the DG manufacturer.
The specified minimum andmaximum frequencies of the DG are 58.8 Hz and 61.2 Hz, respectively.
Thesteady state minimum and maximum frequency values are 59.8 Hz and 60.1 Hz.These values ensure that the safety related plant equipment powered from theDGs is capable of performing its safety functions.
sR 3.8.1.1This SR ensures proper circuit continuity for the offsite AC electrical power supplyto the onsite distribution network and availability of offsite AC electrical power.The breaker alignment verifies that each breaker is in its correct position toensure that distribution buses and loads are connected to their preferred powersource, and that appropriate independence of offsite circuits is maintained.
The7 day Frequency is adequate since breaker position is not likely to change withoutthe operator being aware of it and because its status is displayed in the controlroom.(continued)

REQUIREMENTS The Frequency of 18 months takes into consideration plant conditions required toperform the Surveillance and is intended to be consistent with an expected fuelcycle length of 18 months.For the purpose of this testing, the DGs shall be started from standby conditions, that is, with the engine coolant and oil being continuously circulated andtemperature maintained consistent with manufacturer recommendations.
TheDG engines for WBN have an oil circulation and soakback system that operatescontinuously to preclude the need for a prelube and warmup when a DG isstarted from standby.This SR is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is that the performance of the Surveillance for DG 1A-A or 1B-B would remove a required offsite circuitfrom service, perturb the electrical distribution system, and challenge safetysystems.
Credit may be taken for unplanned events that satisfy this SR.Examples of unplanned events may include:1) Unexpected operational events which cause the equipment to performthe function specified by this Surveillance, for which adequatedocumentation of the required performance is available;and
- 2) Post corrective maintenance testing that requires performance of thisSurveillance in order to restore the component to OPEMBLE, providedthe maintenance was required, or performed in conjunction withmaintenance required to maintain OPERABILIry or reliabilig.
sR 3.8.1.20This SR verifies that DG availability is not compromised by the idle start circuitry, when in the idle mode of operation, and that an automatic or emergency startsignalwill disable the idle start circuitry and command the engine to go to fullspeed. The 18 month frequency is consistent with the expected fuel cycle lengthsand is considered sufficient to detect any degradation of the idle start circuitry.

Two sensors are located at each of the six naturalcollection regions around the Reactor Coolant System. These regions consist ofthe top and bottom plenums of the reactor vessel and the primary coolant inletplenum to each of the four steam generators.
The entire system is described inReference 1.The Loose-Part Detection System provides the capability to detect acousticdisturbances indicative of loose parts within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS)pressure boundary.
This system is provided to avoid or mitigate damage to RCScomponents that could occur from these loose parts. The Loose-Part Detection System Technical Requirement is consistent with the recommendations ofReference 2.APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSESThe presence of a loose part in the RCS can be indicative of degraded reactorsafety resulting from failure or weakening of a safety-related component.
A loosepart, whether it be from a failed or weakened component, or from an iteminadvertently left in the primary system during construction, refueling, ormaintenance, can contribute to component damage and materialwear byfrequent impacting with other parts in the system. Also, a loose part increases the potential for control-rod jamming and for accumulation of increased levels ofradioactive crud in the primary system (Ref. 2).The Loose Part Detection System provides the capability to detect loose parts inthe RCS which could cause damage to some component in the RCS. Looseparts are not assumed to initiate any DBA, and the detection of a loose part is notrequired for mitigation of any DBA (Ref. 3).Watts Bar-Unit 1Tech nical Requirements (continued)
Revision 63jst17 t17B 3.3-1 I Loose-Part Detection SystemB 3.3.6BASES (continued)
TRTR 3.3.6 requires the Loose-Part Detection System to be OPERABLE.
This isnecessary to ensure that sufficient capability is available to detect loose metallicparts in the RCS and avoid or mitigate damage to the RCS components.
Thisrequirement is provided in Reference 2.APPLICABILITY TR 3.3.6 is required to be met in MODES 1 and2 as stated in Reference 2.These MODES of applicability are provided in Reference 2.The Applicability has been modified by a Note stating that the provisions of TR3.0.3 do not apply.ACTIONS4.1lf both channels of one or more collection regions of the Loose-Part Detection System are inoperable for more than 30 days, document theinoperability of the channels in accordance with Corrective Action Program.TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS TSR 3.3.6.1Performance of a CHANNEL CHECK for the Loose-Part Detection System onceevery 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> ensures that a gross failure of instrumentation has not occurred.
ln addition, the Loose-Part Detection System performs an automatic system self-test each day which provides a printable daily report and displays any faultsdiscovered during he test. The CHANNEL CHECK activity will review the dailyreport, observe the display to determine if any faults were discovered during thesystem self-test, verifl the system is in an operable condition and verify there areno alarms. The CHANNEL CHECK will detect gross channel failure; thus it iskey to verifying that the instrumentation continues to operate properly betweeneach CHANNEL CALIBRATION.

The Surveillance and the Surveillance Frequency are provided in Reference 2.TSR 3.3.6.2A CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST is to be performed every 31 days on eachrequired channelto ensure the entire channelwill perform the intended function.
This test verifies the capability of the Loose-Part Detection System to detectimpact signals which would indicate a loose part in the RCS. The Surveillance and the Surveillance Frequency are provided in Reference 2.TSR 3.3.6.3CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop and thesensor. The Surveillance Frequency of 18 months is based upon operating experience and is consistent with the typical industry refueling cycle. TheSurveillance and the Surveillance Frequency are provided in Reference 2.Reference 1 describes the use of the built-in capabilities of the system to verifyproper channel calibration.
This is an acceptable option to using a mechanical impact device for sensors located in plant areas where plant personnel radiation exposure is considered by Plant Management to be excessive.

- Addenda, asrequired by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)
(Ref. 2). Exception to these requirements applywhere relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR50.55a(g)(6)(i) and (a)(3). ln general, the surveillance intervals specified inSection Xl of the ASME Code apply. However, the lnservice lnspection Programincludes a clarification of the frequencies for performing the inservice inspection and testing activities required by Section Xl of the ASME Code. This clarification is provided to ensure consistency in surveillance intervals throughout theTechnical Specifications.
Each reactor coolant pump flywheel is, in addition, inspected as recommended in Regulatory Position C.4.b of Regulatory Guide1.'14, Revision 1, August 1975 (Ref. 3).APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSESCertain components which are designed and manufactured to the requirements of specific sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are part of theprimary success path and function to mitigate DBAs and transients.
However,the operability of these components is addressed in the relevant specifications that cover individualcomponents.
ln addition, this particular Requirement coversonly structural integrity inspection/testing requirements for these components, which is not a consideration in designing the accident sequences for theoretical hazard evaluation (Ref .4).TRTR 3.4.5 requires that the structural integrity of the ASME Code Class 1,2, and 3components in all systems be maintained in accordance with TSR 3.4.5.1 andTSR 3.4.5.2.
ln those areas where conflict may exist between the Technical Specifications and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the Technical Specifications take precedence.

ACTIONS(continued) c.1lf the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A or Bcannot be met, the plant must be placed in a condition where OPERABILITY ofthe lnlet Door Position Monitoring System is not required.
This is accomplished by immediately entering Technical Specification LCO 3.6.12, Condition D, whichrequires placing the plant in MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and MODE 5 within 36hours. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required MODES from fullpower in an orderly mannerand without challenging plant systems.TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS Watts Bar-Unit 1Techn ical Req u irementsTSR 3.6.2.1Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK for the lnlet Door Position Monitoring System once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> ensures that a gross failure of instrumentation hasnot occurred.
A CHANNEL CHECK is a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels.
lt is based on theassumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should readapproximately the same value. Significant deviations between the two instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of thechannels or of something even more serious.
Performance of the CHANNELCHECK helps to ensure that the instrumentation continues to operate properlybetween each TADOT. The dual switch arrangement on each door allowscomparison of open and shut indicators for each zone as well as a check with theannunciator window.When equipment conditions exist that prevent the preferred direct comparison ofopen and shut indicators for each zone as described above, indirect methodsmay be employed to verify that the inlet doors are shut. The indirect methodsinclude the performance of a continuity check of the circuit used by theannunciator window, by monitoring ice bed temperature, or by monitoring icecondenser and containment parameters.
The annunciator continuity check canconfirm if one or more inlet door zone switch contacts are closed which wouldrepresent an open inlet door. The lce Bed Temperature Monitoring System canbe used to provide confirmation of inlet door closure by confirming there isuniform equilibrium temperature in the ice bed. lce condenser and containment parameters such as temperature and humidity can also be used to determine ifan ice condenser inlet door is open.When indirect methods are used to verify ice condenser inlet doors are shut, atechnical analysis must be completed and documented in accordance with thecorrective action program.
ln those instances when a technical analysis can notbe made within the allowed Completion Time, the lnlet Door Position Monitoring System must be declared lnoperable and Technical Specification LCO 3.6.12,Condition D must be entered immediately.

There are two basic types of Required Actions.
The first type of RequiredAction specifies a time limit in which the LCO must be met. This time limitis the Completion Time to restore an inoperable system or component toOPERABLE status or to restore variables to within specified limits. lf thistype of Required Action is not completed within the specified Completion Time, a shutdown may be required to place the unit in a MODE orcondition in which the Specification is not applicable, (Whether stated asa Required Action or not, correction of the entered Condition is an actionthat may always be considered upon entering ACTIONS.)

LCO Applicability B 3.0BASES (continued)
LCO 3.0.8LCO 3.0.8 establishes conditions under which systems are considered toremain capable of performing their intended safety function whenassociated snubbers are not capable of providing their associated supportfunction(s).
This LCO states that the supported system is not considered to be inoperable solely due to one or more snubbers not capable ofperforming their associated support function(s).
This is appropriate because a limited length of time is allowed for maintenance,
- testing, orrepair of one or more snubbers not capable of performing their associated support function(s) and appropriate compensatory measures arespecified in the snubber requirements, which are located outside of theTechnicalSpecifications (TS) under licensee control.
LCO 3.0.8 applies tosnubbers that only have seismic function.
lt does not apply to snubbersthat also have design functions to mitigate steamlwater hammer or othertransient loads. The snubber requirements do not meet the criteria in 10CFR 50.36(cX2Xii),
and, as such, are appropriate for control by thelicensee.
When applying LCO 3.0.8.a, at least one train of Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) system must be OPERABLE during MODES when AFW isrequired to be OPERABLE.
When applying LCO 3.0.8.a during MODESwhen AFW is not required to be OPERABLE, a core cooling method(such as Decay Heat Removal (DHR) system) must be available.
Whenapplying LCO 3.0.8.b, a means of core cooling must remain available (AFW, DHR, equipment necessary for feed and bleed operations, etc.).Reliance on availability of a core cooling source during modes whereAFW is not required by TSs provides an equivalent safety margin for plantoperations were LCO 3.0.8 not applied and meets the intent of Technical Specification Task Force Change Traveler TSTF-372, Revision 4,"Addition of LCO 3.0.8, lnoperability of Snubbers."
When a snubber is to be rendered incapable of performing its relatedsupport function (i.e., nonfunctional) for testing or maintenance or isdiscovered to not be functional, it must be determined whether anysystem(s) require the affected snubber(s) for system OPERABLILITY, and whether the plant is in a MODE or specified condition in theApplicability that requires the supported system(s) to be OPERABLE.
lf an analysis determines that the supported system(s) do not require thesnubbe(s) to be functional in order to support the OPERABILITY of thesystem(s),
LCO 3.0.8 is not needed. lf the LCO(S) associated with anysupported system(s) are not currently applicable (i.e., the plant is not in aMODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the LCO), LCO3.0.8 is not needed. lf the supported system(s) are inoperable for reasonsother than snubbers, LCO 3.0.8 cannot be used. LCO 3.0.8 is anallowance, not a requirement.
When a snubber is nonfunctional, anysupported system(s) may be declared inoperable instead of using LCO3.0.8.(continued)
Revision 7Amendment 6Watts Bar - Unit 2B 3.0-10a LCO Applicability B30BASESLCO 3.0.8(continued)
Every time the provisions of LCO 3.0.8 are used, WBN Unit 2 will confirmthat at least one train (or subsystem) of systems supported by theinoperable snubbers will remain capable of performing their requiredsafety or support functions for postulated design loads other than seismicloads. A record of the design function of the inoperable snubber (i.e.,seismic vs. non-seismic) and the associated plant configuration will beavailable on a recoverable basis for NRC staff inspection.
LCO 3.0.8 does not apply to non-seismic snubbers.
The provisions ofLCO 3.0.8 are not to be applied to supported TS systems unless thesupported systems would remain capable of performing their requiredsafety or support functions for postulated design loads other than seismicloads. The risk impact of dynamic loadings other than seismic loads wasnot assessed as part of the development of LCO 3.0.8. These shocktype loads include thrust loads, blowdown loads, water-hammer loads, steam-hammer loads, LOCA loads and pipe rupture loads. However, there aresome important distinctions between non-seismic (shocktype) loads andseismic loads which indicate that, in general, the risk impact of the out-of-service snubbers is smaller for non-seismic loads than for seismic loads.First, while a seismic load affects the entire plant, the impact of anonseismic load is localized to a certain system or area of the plant.Second, although non-seismic shock loads may be higher in totalforce and the impact could be as much or more than seismic loads, generally they are of much shorter duration than seismic loads. Third, the impact ofnon-seismic loads is more plant specific, and thus harder to analyzegenerically, than for seismic loads. For these reasons, every time LCO3.0.8 is applied, at least one train of each system that is supported by theinoperable snubbe(s) should remain capable of performing their requiredsafety or support functions for postulated design loads other than seismicloads.lf the allowed time expires and the snubbe(s) are unable to perform theirassociated support function(s),
the affected supported system's LCO(s)must be declared not met and the Conditions and Required Actionsentered in accordance with LCO 3.0.2.LCO 3.0.8.a applies when one or more snubbers are not capable ofproviding their associated support function(s) to a single train orsubsystem of a multiple train or subsystem supported system or to asingle train or subsystem supported system. LCO 3.0.8.a allows 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />sto restore the snubber(s) before declaring the supported systeminoperable.
The72 hour Completion Time is reasonable based on the lowprobability of a seismic event concurrent with an event that would requireoperation of the supported system occurring while the snubber(s) are notcapable of performing their associated support function and due to theavailability of the redundant train of the supported system.(continued)

LCO 3.0.8.b applies when one or more snubbers are not capable ofproviding their associated support function(s) to more than one train orsubsystem of a multiple train or subsystem supported system.

The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time isreasonable based on the low probability of a seismic event concurrent with an event that would require operation of the supported systemoccurring while the snubber(s) are not capable of performing theirassociated support function.
LCO 3.0.8 requires that risk be assessed and managed.
lndustry andNRC guidance on the implementation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4)
(theMaintenance Rule) does not address seismic risk. However, use of LCO3.0.8 should be considered with respect to other plant maintenance activities, and integrated into the existing Maintenance Rule process tothe extent possible so that maintenance on any unaffected train orsubsystem is properly controlled, and emergent issues are properlyaddressed.
The risk assessment need not be quantified, but may be aqualitative awareness of the vulnerability of systems and components when one or more snubbers are not able to perform their associated support function.

Upon completion of maintenance, appropriate post maintenance testing isrequired to declare equipment OPERABLE.
This includes ensuringapplicable Surveillances are not failed and their most recent performance is in accordancewith SR 3.0.2. Post maintenance testing may not bepossible in the current tt43DE or other specified conditions in theApplicability due to the necessary unit parameters not having beenestablished.
ln these situations, the equipment may be considered OPERABLE provided testing has been satisfactorily completed to theextent possible and the equipment is not otherwise believed to beincapable of performing its function.
This will allow operation to proceedto a tvDDE or other specified condition where other necessary postmaintenance tests can be completed.
sR 3.0.2SR 3.0.2 establishes the requirements for meeting the specified Frequency for Surveillances and any Required Action with a Completion Time that requires the periodic performance of the Required Action on a"once per. . ." interval.
SR 3.0.2 permits a25o/o extension of the interval specified in theFrequency.
This extension facilitates Surveillance scheduling andconsiders plant operating conditions that may not be suitable forconducting the Surveillance (e.9., transient conditions or other ongoingSurveillance or maintenance activities).
On a one-time basis thesurveillance interval for the surveillances listed in TS Table 3.0.2-1 areallowed to be extended as identified on Table SR 3.0.2-1.
The one-timesurveillance interval extension expires on November 30, 2017.The25o/o extension does not significantly degrade the reliability thatresults from performing the Surveillance at its specified Frequency.
Thisis based on the recognition that the most probable result of any particular Surveillance being performed is the verification of conformancewith theSRs. The exceptions to SR 3.0.2 are those Surveillances for which the25% extension of the interval specified in the Frequency does not apply.These exceptions are stated in the individual Specifications.
Therequirements of regulations take precedence over the TS. Therefore, when a test interval is specified in the regulations, the test interval cannotbe extended by the TS, and the surveillance requirement will include anote in the frequency
- stating, "SR 3.0.2 does not apply." An example ofan exception when the test interval is not specified in the regulations, isthe discussion in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, thatSR 3.0.2 does not apply. This exception is provided becausethe program already includes extension of test intervals.
As stated in SR 3.0.2, the 25% extension also does not apply to the initialportion of a periodic Completion Time that requires performance on a"once per . . ." basis. The25o/o extension applies to each performance after the initial performance.

Verification includes flow rate, temperature, or pumpstatus monitoring, which help ensure that forced flow is providing heatremoval.
The Frequency of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is sufficient considering otherindications and alarms available to the operator in the control room tomonitor RCS and RHR loop performance.
sR 3.4.6.3SR 3.4.6.3 requires verification of SG OPERABILITY.
SG OPERABILITY is verified by ensuring that the secondary side narrow range water level isgreater than or equalto 6% (value does not account for instrument error,Ref. 1). lf the SG secondary side narrow range water level is lessthan 6%, the tubes may become uncovered and the associated loop maynot be capable of providing the heat sink necessary for removal of decayheat. The 12-hour Frequency is considered adequate in view of otherindications available in the control room to alert the operator to the loss ofSG level.sR 3.4.6.4Verification that the required pump is OPERABLE ensures that anadditional RCS or RHR pump can be placed in operation, if needed, tomaintain decay heat removal and reactor coolant circulation.

The containment pressure limits are derived from the inputconditions used in the containment functional analyses and thecontainment structure external pressure analysis.
Should operation occuroutside these limits coincident with a Design Basis Accident (DBA), postaccident containment pressures could exceed calculated values.APPLICABLE SAFETYANALYSESContainment internal pressure is an initial condition used in the DBAanalyses to establish the maximum peak containment internal pressure.
The limiting DBAs considered, relative to containment
- pressure, are theLOCA and SLB, which are analyzed using computer pressure transients.
The worst case LOCA generates larger mass and energy release thanthe worst case SLB. Thus, the LOCA event bounds the SLB event fromthe containment peak pressure standpoint (Ref. 1).The initial pressure condition used in the containment analysis was15.0 psia. This resulted in a maximum peak containment pressure from aLOCA of 11.73 psig. The containment analysis (Ref. 1) shows that themaximum allowable internal containment

APPLICABLE The limiting DBAs considered relative to containment are the loss ofSAFETY coolant accident (LOCA) and the steam line break (SLB). The DBAANALYSES LOCA and SLB are analyzed using computer codes designed to predictthe resultant containment pressure and temperature transients.
No twoDBAs are assumed to occur simultaneously or consecutively.
Thepostulated DBAs are analyzed, in regard to containment ESF systems,assuming the loss of one ESF bus, which is the worst case single activefailure, resulting in one train of the Containment Spray System, the RHRSystem, and the ARS being rendered inoperable (Ref. 2).The DBA analyses show that the maximum peak containment pressure of11.73 psig results from the LOCA analysis, and is calculated to be less Ithan the containment maximum allowable pressure of 15 psig. Themaximum peak containment atmosphere temperature results from theSLB analysis.
The calculated transient containment atmosphere temperatures are acceptable for the DBA SLB.The modeled Containment Spray System actuation from the containment analysis is based on a response time associated with exceeding thecontainment High-High pressure signal setpoint to achieving fullflowthrough the containment spray nozzles.
A delayed response timeinitiation provides conservative analyses of peak calculated containment temperature and pressure responses.
The Containment Spray Systemtotal response time of 234 seconds is composed of signal delay, dieselgenerator

ln particular, theECCS cooling effectiveness during the core reflood phase of a LOCAanalysis increases with increasing containment backpressure.
For thesecalculations, the containment backpressure is calculated in a mannerdesigned to conservatively
- minimize, rather than maximize, the calculated transient containment pressures in accordance with 10 CFR 50,Appendix K (Ref. 3).Inadvertent actuation of the Containment Spray System is evaluated inthe analysis, and the resultant reduction in containment pressure iscalculated.

lts primary purpose is to provide a large heatsink in the event of a release of energy from a Design Basis Accident(DBA) in containment.
The ice would absorb energy and limitcontainment peak pressure and temperature during the accidenttransient.
Limiting the pressure and temperature reduces the release offission product radioactivity from containment to the environment in theevent of a DBA.The ice condenser is an annular compartment enclosing approximately 300o of the perimeter of the upper containment compartment, butpenetrating the operating deck so that a portion extends into the lowercontainment compartment.
The lower portion has a series of hingeddoors exposed to the atmosphere of the lower containment compartment, which, for normal plant operation, are designed to remain closed. At thetop of the ice condenser is another set of doors exposed to theatmosphere of the upper compartment, which also remain closed duringnormal plant operation.
lntermediate deck doors, located below the topdeck doors, form the floor of a plenum at the upper part of the icecondenser.
These doors also remain closed during normal plantoperation.
The upper plenum area is used to facilitate surveillance andmaintenance of the ice bed.The ice baskets contain the ice within the ice condenser.
The ice bed isconsidered to consist of the total volume from the bottom elevation of theice baskets to the top elevation of the ice baskets.
The ice basketsposition the ice within the ice bed in an arrangement to promote heattransfer from steam to ice. This arrangement enhances the icecondenser's primary function of condensing steam and absorbing heatenergy released to the containment during a DBA.(continued)

B 3.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMSB 3.6.15 Shield BuildingBASESBACKGROUND The shield building is a concrete structure that surrounds the steelcontainment vessel. Between the containment vessel and the shieldbuilding inner wall is an annular space that collects containment leakagethat may occur following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) as well asother design basis accidents (DBAs) that release radioactive material.
This space also allows for periodic inspection of the outer surface of thesteel containment vessel.During normal operations when containment integrity is required, annulusvacuum is established and maintained by the annulus vacuum controlsubsystem.
ln emergencies, in which containment isolation is required, this subsystem is isolated and shut down because it performs no safety-related function (Ref. 2). The nominal negative pressure for the annulusvacuum control equipment is 5-inches of water gauge. This negativepressure level, chosen for normal operation, ensures that the annuluspressure will not reach positive values during the annulus pressure surgeproduced by a LOCA in the primary containment.
The annulus vacuum control subsystem also aids in containment pressure relief by exhausting to the auxiliary building exhaust stack thecontainment vent air that goes through the containment vent air clean upunits and is discharged into the annulus.During an emergency, the Emergency Gas Treatment System (EGTS)establishes a negative pressure in the annulus between the shieldbuilding and the steel containment vessel. Filters in the system thencontrolthe release of radioactive contaminants to the environment.
Theshield building is required to be OPERABLE to ensure retention ofcontainment leakage and proper operation of the EGTS.Several normal plant evolutions can cause the annulus pressure toexceed its limits briefly; containment
- venting, both the normal or alternate method, testing of the EGTS, annulus entries, and auxiliary buildingisolations.
These activities cause an inrush of air into the annulus,lowering the annulus vacuum until the annulus vacuum controlfans canreturn annulus vacuum to within limits.The containment vent system is a non-safety related system, whichprovides continuous pressure relief curing normal operation, by allowingcontainment air outflow through the 8-inch containment penetration (continued)

BACKGROUND (continued) through two 100% redundant air cleanup units (ACU)s, containing HEPA/charcoalfilters, into the annulus with the motive force being thepressure differential between the containment and the annulus.Depending on the inflow into the annulus when containment vent isinitiated, annulus pressure may not be within limits unit the annulusvacuum control system can recover the annulus vacuum.An alternate containment pressure relief function (containment vent) isprovided by way of a configuration alignment in the reactor building purgeventilating system, This function is accomplished by opening lowercompartment purge lines (one supply and one exhaust) or one of the twopairs of lines (one supply and one exhaust ) in the upper compartment.
To prevent inadvertent pressurization of containment due to supply andexhaust side ductwork flow imbalances, the supply ductwork airflow maybe temporarily throttled as needed (Ref. 3).During testing of the EGTS, alignment of the system to the annulus forthe test causes an inrush of air from the EGTS ducting increasing annuluspressure.
This inrush of air can cause annulus pressure to exceed theannulus pressure limit until the EGTS fan is started, stopping the inrushallowing the annulus vacuum controlfan to restore annulus pressure towithin limits.APPL!CABLE SAFETYANALYSESThe design basis for shield building OPERABILITY is a LOCA.Maintaining shield building OPERABILITY ensures that the release ofradioactive materialfrom the containment atmosphere is restricted tothose leakage paths and associated leakage rates assumed in theaccident analyses.
The shield building satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(cX2Xii).
LCOAPPLICABILITY Shield building OPERABILITY must be maintained to ensure properoperation of the EGTS and to limit radioactive leakage from thecontainment to those paths and leakage rates assumed in the accidentanalyses.
Maintaining shield building OPERABILITY prevents leakage of radioactive materialfrom the shield building.
Radioactive material may enter theshield building from the containment following a DBA. Therefore, shieldbuilding OPERABILITY is required in MODES 1,2,3, and 4 when DBAscould release radioactive materialto the containment atmosphere.

Thenormal alignment for both EGTS control loops is the A-Auto position.
With both EGTS controlloops in A-Auto, both trains willfunction uponinitiation of a Containment lsolation Phase A (ClA) signal. ln the event ofa LOCA, the annulus vacuum controlsystem isolates and both trains ofthe EGTS pressure control loops will be placed in service to maintain therequired negative pressure.
lf annulus vacuum is lost during normaloperations, the A-Auto position is unaffected by the loss of vacuum. Thisoperational configuration is acceptable because the accident doseanalysis conservatively assumes the annulus is at atmospheric pressureat event initiation.

CCSB 3 .7.7B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMSB 3 .7.7 Component Cooling System (CCS)BASESBACKGROUND The CCS provides a heat sink for the removal of process and operating heat from safety related components during a Design Basis Accident(DBA) or transient.
During normal operation, the CCS also provides thisfunction for various non-essential components, as well as the spent fuelstorage pool. The CCS serves as a barrier to the release of radioactive byproducts between potentially radioactive systems and the Essential Raw Cooling Water (ERCW System, and thus to the environment.
The CCS is arranged as two independent, full-capacity cooling trains,Train A and Train B. Train A in Unit 2 is served by CCS Hx B andCCS pump 2A-A. Pump 2B-B, which is actually Train B equipment, isalso normally aligned to the Train A header in Unit 2. However,pump 2B-B can be realigned to Train B on loss of Train A.Train B is served by CCS Hx C. Normally, only CCS pump C-S is alignedto the Train B header since few non-essential, normally-operating loadsare assigned to Train B. However, pump 2B-B can be realigned to theTrain B header on a loss of the C-S pump. During Unit 1 outages CCSHeat Exchanger A may be substituted for CCS Heat Exchanger C tomaintain CCS Train 28 operable under certain conditions.
Refer to FSARSection 9.2.2for required system alignments.
Each safety related train is powered from a separate bus. An open surgetank in the system provides pump trip protective functions to ensure thatsufficient net positive suction head is available.
lt is preferred that the 1Band 28 surge tank sections be aligned to the associated operable CCSpump(s);
- however, aligning a single 1B or 28 surge tank section providesan operable surge tank for the associated pump(s).The pump in eachtrain is automatically started on receipt of a safety injection signal, and allnon-essential components will be manually isolated.
CCS Pump 'lB-B may be substituted for CCS Pump C-S supplying theCCS Train B header for Unit 2 provided the OPERABILITY requirements are met.Additional information on the design and operation of the system, alongwith a list of the components served, is presented in the FSAR,Section 9.2.2 (Ref. 1).

Therefore, as LCO 3.7.16becomes Applicable (entry into Mode 4) the RCS loops are stillOPERABLE.
Entry into MODES 4 and 5 can place high heat loads ontothe RHR System, CCS and the Essential Raw Cooling Water System(ERCW when shutdown cooling is established.
Residualand decay heatfrom the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is transferred to CCS via theRHR HX. Heat from the CCS is transferred to the ERCW System via theCCS HXs. The CCS and ERCW systems are common between the twooperating units.During the first 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after reactor shutdown, the heat loads are atsufficiently high levels that the normal pump requirement of LCO 3.7.7 forone CCS pump on the Train B header may not be sufficient to supportshut down cooling of Unit 2, concurrent with either a nearly simultaneous shutdown of Unit 1 or a design basis loss of coolant accident (LOCA) onUnit 1, with loss of offsite power and a single failure of Train A power to6.9 kV Shutdown Boards 1A-A and 2A-4.ln either scenario, CCS Pump C-S would normally be the only pumpsupplying the Train B header and the Train B header would be supplying both the Unit'l RHR Train B HX and the Unit 2 RHR Train B HX.

Having the CCS pumps realigned while a unitbeing shut down with steam generators available for heat removal,precludes the need for manual action outside of the main control room toalign CCS should a LOCA occur. lf a LOCA occurs with the concurrent loss of the Train A 6.9 kV shutdown boards, CCS Pump 1B-B or 2B-B willbe started from the main control room, if the pump is not already inoperation.
Both CCS pumps must be running before the RHR pumpsuction is transferred from the refueling water storage tank (RWST) to thecontainment sump to ensure adequate cooling is maintained.
lf a LOCAoccurs, the C-S pump automatically starts on a safety injection (Sl)actuation from either unit. The CCS pump control circuits are designedsuch that, if a pump is running and a loss of power occurs, the pump willbe automatically reloaded on the DG. With this alignment, two CCSpumps will be available if a LOCA occurs on one unit when the other unitis being shut down.Alternatively, the unit being shut down can remain on steam generator cooling for 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> before RHR is placed in service.
lf a LOCA occurredon the other unit, CCS would only be removing heat from one RHR HX.A single CCS pump and CCS HX provides the required heat removalcapability.

APPLICABLE SAFETYANALYSESThe CCS functions to cool the unit from RHR entry conditions in MODE 4(T*ra < 350oF), to MODE 5 (T-ro < 200oF), during normal operations.
Thetime required to cool from 350oF to 200'F is a function of the number ofCGS and RHR trains operating.
One CCS train is sufficient to removeheat during subsequent operations with T"oro < 200oF. This assumes amaximum ERCW inlet temperature of 85'F occurring simultaneously withthe maximum heat loads on the system.The design basis of the CCS is for one CCS train to remove the postLOCA heat load from the containment sump during the recirculation phase, with a maximum CCS HX outlet temperature of 110'F (Ref. 2).The ECCS LOCA analysis and containment LOCA analysis each modelthe maximum and minimum performance of the CCS, respectively.
Thenormal maximum HX outlet temperature of the CCS is 95oF, and, duringunit cooldown to MODE 5 (T*ro < 200"F), a maximum HX outlettemperature of 110'F is assumed.
The CCS design based on thesevalues, bounds the post accident conditions such that the sump fluid willnot increase in temperature after alignment of the RHR HXs during therecirculation phase following a LOCA, and provides a gradual reduction inthe temperature of this fluid as it is supplied to the RCS by the ECCSpumps.The CCS is designed to perform its function with a single failure of anyactive component, assuming a loss of offsite power.CCS - Shutdown satisfies Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50.36(cX2)(ii).

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1BASESBACKGROUND (continued)
The onsite standby power source for each 6.9 kV shutdown board is adedicated DG. WBN uses 4 DG sets for Unit 2 operation.
These sameDGs are shared for Unit 1 operation.
A DG starts automatically on asafety injection (Sl) signal (i.e., low pressurizer pressure or highcontainment pressure signals) or on a 6.9 kV shutdown board degradedvoltage or loss-of-voltage signal (Refer to LCO 3.3.5, "Loss of Power(LOP) Diesel Generator (DG) Start lnstrumentation.").
After the DG hasstarted, it will automatically tie to its respective 6.9 kV shutdown boardafter offsite power is tripped as a consequence of 6.9 kV shutdown boardloss-of-voltage or degraded
- voltage, independent of or coincident with anSl signal. The DGs will also start and operate in the standby modewithout tying to the 6.9 kV shutdown board on an Sl signal alone.Following the trip of offsite power, a loss-of-voltage signal strips allnonpermanent loads from the 6.9 kV shutdown board. When the DG istied to the 6.9 kV shutdown board, loads are then sequentially connected to its respective 6.9 kV shutdown board by the automatic sequencer.

ln the event of a loss of preferred power, the 6.9 kV shutdown boards areautomatically connected to the DGs in sufficient time to provide for safereactor shutdown and to mitigate the consequences of a Design BasisAccident (DBA) such as a LOCA.Certain required plant loads are returned to service in a predetermined sequence in order to prevent overloading the DG in the process.

D.1 and D.2Required Action D.1, which applies when two required offsite circuits areinoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with acoincident single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions.
The Completion Time for this failure ofredundant required features is reduced to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> from that allowed forone train without offsite power (Required Action A.2). The rationale forthe reduction to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is that Regulatory Guide 1 .93 (Ref. 6) allows aCompletion Time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for two required offsite circuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains areOPERABLE.
When a concurrent redundant required feature failureexists, this assumption is not the case, and a shorter Completion Time of12 hours is appropriate.
These features are powered from redundant ACsafety trains. This includes motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps.Single train features, such as the turbine driven auxiliary pump, are notincluded in the list.The Completion Time for Required Action D.1 is intended to allow theoperator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities.
ThisCompletion Time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero"for beginning the allowed outage time "clock."
ln this Required Action theCompletion Time only begins on discovery that both:AII required offsite circuits are inoperable; andA required feature is inoperable.
lf at any time during the existence of Condition D (two required offsitecircuits inoperable) a required feature becomes inoperable, thisCompletion Time begins to be tracked.According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue inCondition D for a period that should not exceed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This level ofdegradation means that the offsite electrical power system does not havethe capability to effect a safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of anaccident;
- however, the onsite AC sources have not been degraded.
Thislevel of degradation generally corresponds to a total loss of thei m med iately accessible offsite power sources.(continued) a.b.Watts Bar - Unit 2B 3.8-13Revision 5Amendment 5
AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1BASESACTIONSD.1 and D.2 (continued)
Because of the normally high availability of the offsite sources, this levelof degradation may appear to be more severe than other combinations oftwo AC sources inoperable (e.9., combinations that involve an offsitecircuit and one DG inoperable, or one or more DGs in each traininoperable).
- However, two factors tend to decrease the severity of thislevel of degradation:
The configuration of the redundant AC electrical power system thatremains available is not susceptible to a single bus or switching failure; andThe time required to detect and restore an unavailable requiredoffsite power source is generally much less than that required todetect and restore an unavailable onsite AC source.With both of the required offsite circuits inoperable, sufficient onsite ACsources are available to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition inthe event of a DBA or transient.
ln fact, a simultaneous loss of offsite ACsources, a LOCA, and a worst case single failure were postulated as apart of the design basis in the safety analysis.
Thus, the 24 hourCompletion Time provides a period of time to effect restoration of one ofthe offsite circuits commensurate with the importance of maintaining anAC electrical power system capable of meeting its design criteria.
According to Reference 6, with the available offsite AC sources, two lessthan required by the LCO, operation may continue for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. lf twooffsite sources are restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, unrestricted operation maycontinue.
lf only one offsite source is restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, poweroperation continues in accordance with Condition A.E.1 and E.2Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Distribution System ACTIONS would not beentered even if allAC sources to it were inoperable, resulting inde-energization.
Therefore, the Required Actions of Condition E aremodified by a Note to indicate that when Condition E is entered with noAC source to any train, the Conditions and Required Actions forLCO 3.8.9, "Distribution Systems - Operating,"
must be immediately entered.
This allows Condition E to provide requirements for the loss ofone offsite circuit and one or more DGs in a train, without regard towhether a train is de-energized.
LCO 3.8.9 provides the appropriate restrictions for a de-energized train.According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue inCondition E for a period that should not exceed 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.(continued) a.b.Wafrs Bar - Unit 2B 3.8-14Revision 5Amendment 5

- Operating B 3,8.1BASESACTIONSE.1 and E.2 (continued) ln Condition E, individual redundancy is lost in both the offsite electrical power system and the onsite AC electrical power system. Since powersystem redundancy is provided by two diverse sources of power,however, the reliability of the power systems in this Condition may appearhigher than that in Condition D (loss of both required offsite circuits).
Thisdifference in reliability is offset by the susceptibility of this power systemconfiguration to a single bus or switching failure.
The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining ACsources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBAoccurring during this period.F.1 and F.2With one or more DG(s) in Train A inoperable simultaneous with one ormore DG(s) in Train B inoperable, there are no remaining standby ACsources.
Thus, with an assumed loss of offsite electrical power,insufficient standby AC sources are available to power the minimumrequired ESF functions.
Since the offsite electrical power system is theonly source of AC power for this level of degradation, the risk associated with continued operation for a very short time could be less than thatassociated with an immediate controlled shutdown (the immediate shutdown could cause grid instability, which could result in a total loss ofAC power). Since any inadvertent generator trip could also result in atotal loss of offsite AC power, however, the time allowed for continued operation is severely restricted.
The intent here is to avoid the riskassociated with an immediate controlled shutdown and to minimize therisk associated with this level of degradation.
According to Reference 6, with one or more DG(s) in Train A inoperable simultaneous with one or more DG(s) in Train B inoperable, operation may continue for a period that should not exceed 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.G.1 and G.2lf the inoperable AC electric power sources cannot be restored toOPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the plant mustbe brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.

H.1 and 1.1Condition H and Condition I correspond to a level of degradation in whichall redundancy in the AC electrical power supplies cannot be guaranteed.
At this severely degraded level, any further losses in the AC electrical power system will cause a loss of function.
Therefore, no additional timeis justified for continued operation.
The plant is required by LCO 3.0.3 tocommence a controlled shutdown.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS The AC sources are designed to permit inspection and testing of allimportant areas and features, especially those that have a standbyfunction, in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 18 (Ref. 8).Periodic component tests are supplemented by extensive functionaltests during refueling outages (under simulated accident conditions).
The SRsfor demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the DGs are in accordance withthe recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3) and Regulatory Guide 1.137 (Ref. 9), as addressed in the FSAR.Where the SRs discussed herein specify voltage and frequency tolerances, the following is applicable.
6800 volts is the minimum steadystate output voltage and the 10 seconds transient value. 6800 volts is98.6% of the nominal bus voltage of 6900 V corrected for instrument errorand is the upper limit of the minimum voltage required for the DG supplybreaker to close on the 6.9 kV shutdown board. The specified maximumsteady state output voltage of 7260 V is 1 10% of the nameplate rating ofthe 6600 V motors. The specified 3 second transient value of 6555 V is95% of the nominal bus voltage of 6900 V. The specified maximumtransient value of 8880 V is the maximum equipment withstand valueprovided by the DG manufacturer.
The specified minimum and maximumtransient frequencies of the DG are 58.8 Hz and 61 .2 Hz, respectively.
The steady state minimum and maximum frequency values are 59.8 Hzand 60.1 Hz. These values ensure that the safety related plantequipment powered from the DGs is capable of performing its safetyfunctions.
sR 3.8.1.1This SR ensures proper circuit continuity for the offsite AC electrical power supply to the onsite distribution network and availability of offsiteAC electrical power. The breaker alignment verifies that each breaker isin its correct position to ensure that distribution buses and loads areconnected to their preferred power source, and that appropriate independence of offsite circuits is maintained.

Exception to theserequirements apply where relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i) and (aX3). ln general, thesurveillance intervals specified in Section Xl of the ASME Code apply.However, the lnservice lnspection Program includes a clarification of thefrequencies for performing the inservice inspection and testing activities required by Section Xl of the ASME Code. This clarification is provided toensure consistency in surveillance intervals throughout the Technical Specifications.
Each reactor coolant pump flywheel is, in addition, inspected as recommended in Regulatory Position C.4.b ofRegulatory Guide 1.14, Revision 1, August 1975 (Ref. 3).APPLICABLE SAFETYANALYSESCertain components which are designed and manufactured to therequirements of specific sections of the ASME Boiler and PressureVessel Code are part of the primary success path and function to mitigateDBAs and transients.
- However, the operability of these components isaddressed in the relevant specifications that cover individual components.
ln addition, this particular Requirement covers only structural integrity inspection/testing requirements for these components, which is not aconsideration in designing the accident sequences for theoretical hazardevaluation (Refs. 4 & 5).Watts Bar - Unit 2Technical Requirements (continued)

This is accomplished by placing the plant in MODE 3 within6 hours and MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times arereasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the requiredMODES from full power in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS TSR 3.6.2.1Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK for the lnlet Door PositionMonitoring System once every 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> ensures that a gross failure ofinstrumentation has not occurred.
A CHANNEL CHECK is a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on otherchannels.
lt is based on the assumption that instrument channelsmonitoring the same parameter should read approximately the samevalue. Significant deviations between the two instrument channels couldbe an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or ofsomething even more serious.
Performance of the CHANNEL CHECKhelps to ensure that the instrumentation continues to operate properlybetween each TADOT. The dual switch arrangement on each doorallows comparison of open and shut indicators for each zone as well as acheck with the annunciator window. When equipment conditions existthat prevent the preferred direct comparison of open and shut indicators for each zone as described above, indirect methods may be employed toverify that the inlet doors are shut. The indirect methods include theperformance of a continuity check of the circuit used by the annunciator window, by monitoring ice bed temperature, or by monitoring icecondenser and containment parameters.
The annunciator continuity check can confirm if one or more inlet door zone switch contacts areclosed which would represent an open inlet door. The lce BedTemperature Monitoring System can be used to provide confirmation ofinlet door closure by confirming there is uniform equilibrium temperature in the ice bed. lce condenser and containment parameters such astemperature and humidity can also be used to determine if an icecondenser inlet door is open.When indirect methods are used to verify ice condenser inlet doors areshut, a technical analysis must be completed and documented inaccordance with the corrective action program.
