SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), acting on behalf of itself and as agent for NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC (NextEra) is submitting a request for an amendment to the technical specifications (TS) for St. Lucie Units 1 and 2, T urkey Point Units 3 and 4, and Seabrook Station. The proposed amendments modify the TS to incorporate the provisions of Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.6 in the improved standard TS (ISTS), which provide the actions to be taken when the inoperability of a support system results in the inoperability of related supp orted systems. In addition, the proposed change adds a new Safety Function Determination Program to the administrative section of the TS to ensure that a loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions are taken when using the provisions of LCO 3.0.6.
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 Current Technical Specifications Requirements The Seabrook and Turkey Point TS, which are based on NUREG-0452, Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors [Reference 1),
do not include a provision similar to LCO 3.0.6 in NUREG-1431, Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants [Reference 2]. Similarly, the St. Lucie TS are based on NUREG-0212, Standard Technical Specifications for Combustion Engineering Pressurized Water Reactors [Reference 3], which does not include a provision similar to LCO 3.0.6 in NUREG-1432, Standard Technical Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants [Reference 4] .
2.2 Reason for the Proposed Change This change incorporates the provisions of LCO 3.0.6 in the ISTS, which addresses the issue of cascading when implementing the TS. The proposed change will eliminate the potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the entry into multiple support and supported systems' Actions. The Actions necessary to ensure the plant is maintained in a safe condition are included in the support system's Actions, which may include directions to enter th e Actions for the supported system when appropriate.
2.3 Description of the Proposed Change 2.3.1 St. Lucie Units 1 and 2
- a. Revise Specification 3.0.2 to include LCO 3.0.6:
3.0.2 Upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the Required ACTION(s) of the assoeiated eonditions shall be met, except as provided in LCO 3.0.5 and LCO 3.0.6 If the LCO is met or is no longer applicable prior to expiration of the specified time interval(s), completion of the Required ACTION (s) is not required, unless otherwise stated.

2.3.4 Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)
The proposed change adds a new Safety Function Determination Program to the administrative section of the St. Lucie, Seabrook, and Turkey Point TS:
Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)
This program ensures loss ofsafety function is detected and appropriate actions taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6 [3.0. 7 for Turkey Point], an evaluation shall be made to determine ifloss of safety function exists. Additionally, other appropriate actions may be taken as a result ofthe support system in operability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONS.
This program implements the requirements ofSpecification
[3. 0. 6.J[3. 0. 7]. The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a. Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss ofthe capability to perform the safety mnction assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected,
- b. Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition ifa loss offunction condition exists,
L-201 8-049 Enclosure Page 10 of 33
- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's allowed outage time is not inappropriately extended as a result ofmultiple support system inoperabilities, and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss ofsafety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, no concurrent loss ofoffsite power, or no concurrent loss of onsite dieselgenerator(s), a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. For the purpose ofthis program, a loss ofsafety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable, or
- b. A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported sy stem is also inoperable, or
- c. A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.
The SFDP identi.ies where a loss ofsafety function exists. Ifa loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate ACTIONS ofthe LCO in which the loss ofsafety function exists are required to be entered. When a loss ofsafety function is caused by the in operability ofa single Technical Speci.ication support sy stem, the appropriate ACTIONS to enter are those ofthe support sy stem .
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
3.1 Change to LCO 3.0.1 and LCO 3.0.2 (Seabrook and Turkey Point)
LCO 3.0.1 in the current TS for Seabrook and Turkey Point requires (1) compliance with the LCOs when in the Applicability of the TS, and (2) meeting th e Action requirements upon a failure to meet the LCO. LCO 3.0.2 discusses that when the requiremen ts of an LCO and the associated Action requirements are not met within the specified time intervals, noncompliance with the TS exists; and completion of Actions is no t required if an LCO is met prior to expiration of th e sp ecified time interval. Incorporating ISTS LCO 3.0.6 into the current TS would be an excep tion to LCO 3.0. 1 and 3.0.2. However, in the ISTS, LCO 3.0.6 is only an exception to LCO 3.0.2. This dissimilarity is the result of differences between LCO 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 in the ISTS and the Seabrook and T urkey Point TS.
NextEra and FPL propose to revise LCO 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 for Seabrook and Turkey P oint to be consistent with the ISTS. The revision to LCO 3.0.1 incorporates the first premise in current LCO 3.0.1 that compliance with the LCOs is required when in the Applicability of the TS. The change to LCO 3.0.2 incorporates the second
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 11 of33 provision of current LCO 3.0.1 regarding the requirement to meet Actions and retains the current provision that completion of Actions is not required if compliance with the LCO is restored. In addition, the proposed change to LCO 3.0.2 includes the exceptions provided by LCO 3.0.5 and LCO 3.0.6 for Seabrook, and LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 for Turkey Point.
Proposed LCO 3.0.6 to the Seabrook TS and proposed LCO 3.0.7 to the Turkey Point TS are exceptions to LCO 3.0.2, which must be modified to reflect the new LCO as exceptions. The change to LCO 3.0.2 is necessary to allow applying the exceptions provided by LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7. The change to revise the wording of LCO 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 to align with the wording in the ISTS is administrative in nature and does not by itself change any technical requirements or alter the TS rules of usage.
3.2 Change to LCO 3.0.2 (St. Lucie)
Proposed new LCO 3.0.6 is an exception to LCO 3.0.2; therefore, LCO 3.0.2 is modified to reference LCO 3.0.6 as an exception. The change to LCO 3.0.2 is necessary in order to apply the exception allowed by LCO 3.0.6. In addition, an editorial change to LCO 3.0.2 removes references to " Required" ACTIONS and "associated conditions." The standard TS (NUREG-1432) use the terms "Condition" and "Required Actions." However, the St. Lucie TS, which are not based on NUREG-1432, do not use these terms and only refer to the term "Action."
This editorial revision does not change the technical requirements of LCO 3.0.2.
3.3 Addition ofLCO 3.0.6 (St. Lucie and Seabrook) and LCO 3.0.7 (Turkey Point)
The proposed change incorporates ISTS LCO 3.0.6 into the St. Lucie and Seabrook TS as new LCO 3.0.6 and into the Turkey Point TS as new LCO 3.0.7.
LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 establish an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for supported systems that have a support system LCO specified in the TS. The exception to LCO 3.0.2 is provided because LCO 3.0.2 would require that the Actions of the associated inoperable supported system LCO be entered solely due to the inoperability of the support system. This exception is justified because the actions that are required to ensure the plant is maintained in a safe condition are specified in the support system LCO's Actions. These Actions may include entering the supported system's Actions or may specify other Actions to be entered. The exception to LCO 3.0.2 is provided because otherwise, applying LCO 3.0.6 and LCO 3.0.7 would result in noncompliance with LCO 3.0.2.
When a support system is inoperable and there is an LCO specified for it in the TS, the supported system(s) are required to be declared inoperable if determined to be inoperable as a result of the support system inoperability. However, it is not necessary to enter into the supported systems' Actions unless directed to do so by the support system's Actions. The potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the entry into multiple support and supported systems LCOs'
L-2018-049 Enclosw:e Page 12 of 33 Actions are eliminated by providing all the actions that are necessary to ensure the plant is maintained in a safe condition in the support system's Actions.
However, there are instances where a support system's Action may either direct a supported system to be declared inoperable or direct en try into Actions for the supported system. This may occur immediately or after some specified delay to perform some other Action. Regardless of whether it is immediate or after some delay, when a support system's Action directs a supported system to be declared inoperable or directs entry into Actions for a supported system, the applicable Actions are entered in accordance with LCO 3.0.2.
The proposed new administrative TS, "Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)," ensures that a loss of safety function is detected and that appropriate actions are taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6 or 3.0.7, an evaluation is performed to determine if a loss of safety function exists. Additionally, other appropriate actions may be identified as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system Actions. The SFDP implements the requirements of LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 as discussed below.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, no concurrent loss of offsite power, or no concurrent loss of onsite diesel generator(s),
a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. If an evaluation determines that a loss of safety function exists, the appropriate Actions of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered.
When a loss of safety function is determined to exist, and the SFDP requires entry into the appropriate Actions of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists, consideration is given to the specific type of function affected. Where a loss of function is solely due to a single TS support system (e.g., loss of automatic start due to inoperable instrumentation, or loss of pump suction source due to low tank level),
the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the support system. The Actions for a support system LCO adequately address the inoperabilities of that system without reliance on entering its supported system LCO. When the loss of function is the result of multiple support systems, the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the supported system.
The proposed addition of LCO 3.0.6 to the St. Lucie and Seabrook TS and LCO 3.0.7 to the Turkey Point TS would eliminate potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the entry into multiple support and supported systems' LCO conditions and required actions by providing all the actions that are necessary to ensure the plant is maintained in a safe condition in the support system's required actions. The proposed change is consistent with LCO 3.0.6 in the ISTS. Based on these considerations, FPL and NextEra conclude that the proposed change is acceptable.
3.4 New Notes that Direct Entering Actions of Supported Systems Proposed LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 require entering the Actions of the LCOs for supported systems when directed by a support systems' Actions, and the ISTS Bases for LCO 3.0.6 discuss that there are instances where a support system's Action may
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 13 of33 either direct a supported system to be declared inoperable or direct entry into the Actions for the supported system. As a result, this proposed change adds notes that modify various support system Actions to direct entering the Actions of supported systems or other TS systems affected by the inoperable support system or component. The proposed notes are consistent with those included in the ISTS that are applicable to St. Lucie, Seabrook, and Turkey Point. Attachment 3 provides tables that identify the notes in the ISTS that direct entering the Actions of supported or affected systems and shows how the applicable notes are addressed in this proposed change.
The proposed notes and their bases are discussed below.
- a. A note modifies LCO 3.4.6.2, "Reactor Coolant System Leakage," to direct entering the applicable Actions for systems made inoperable by an inoperable pressure isolation valve (PIV). This note requires an evaluation of affected systems if a PIV is inoperable. The leakage may have affected system operability, or isolation of a leaking flow path with an alternate valve may have degraded the ability of the interconnected system to perform its safety function.
For St. Lucie Unit 1, the parenthetical information in TS 3.4.6.2 Action c "Note, however, that this may lead to ACTION requirements for systems involved" is deleted. The new note replaces this informational note with specific direction to enter the applicable Actions for affected systems.
- b. A note modifies LCO 3.6.1.3, "Containment Air Locks," to direct entering the Action of LCO 3.6.1.2, "Containment Leakage," when air lock leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate acceptance criteria.
- c. The Actions in LCO 3.6.3 (3 .6.3.1 for St. Lucie Unit 1, 3.6.4 for Turkey Point),
"Containment Isolation Valves," are modified by two notes. The first note requires entering the Actions for systems made inoperable as a result of inoperable containment isolation valves to ensure that appropriate remedial actions are taken. The second note directs entering the Action of LCO 3.6.1.2, "Containment Leakage," when isolation leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate acceptance criteria. For Turkey Point, the first note replaces the footnote in TS 3.6.4, which is deleted.
- d. For St. Lucie, the Action in LCO 3.7.3.1 (Unit 1) LCO 3.7.3 (Unit 2),"
Component Cooling Water," is modified by a note that directs entering the applicable Actions of LCO 3.4.1.3, "Reactor Coolant System - Hot Shutdown,"
for shutdown cooling loops made inoperable by CCW. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 that ensures the proper actions are taken for this condition.
- e. For Seabrook, the Action in LCO 3.7.3, "Primary Component Cooling Water," is modified by a note that directs entering the Action of LCO 3.4.1.3, "Reactor Coolant Loops and Coolant Circulation," for residual heat removal loops made inoperable by primary component cooling water. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 that ensures the proper actions are taken for this condition.
- f. For Turkey Point, the Action in LCO 3.7.2, "Component Cooling Water System," is modified by a note that directs entering the Action of LCO 3.4.1.3,
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 14 of 33 "Reactor Coolant System - Hot Shutdown," for residual heat removal loops made inoperable by CCW. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.7 that ensures the proper actions are taken for this condition.
- g. For St. Lucie, the Action in LCO 3.7.4.1 (Unit 1) LCO 3.7.4 (Unit 2), "Intake Cooling Water System," is modified by a note that directs entering the applicable Actions ofLCO 3.4.1.3, "Reactor Coolant System -Hot Shutdown," for shutdown cooling loops made inoperable by ICW. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 that ensures the proper actions are taken for this condition.
- h. For Seabrook, two notes modify the Actions in LCO 3.7.4, "Service Water/Ultimate Heat Sink." The first requires entering the applicable Action of LCO 3.8.1.1, "AC Sources - Operating," for a diesel generator (DG) made inoperable by service water. The second note directs entering the Action of LCO 3.4.1.3, "Reactor Coolant Loops and Coolant Circulation," for a residual heat removal loop made inoperable by service water. These notes are an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensure that the appropriate actions are taken for the supported systems rendered inoperable by service water.
- 1. For Turkey Point, the Action in LCO 3.7.3, "Intake Cooling Water System," is modified by a note that directs entering the applicable Actions of LCO 3.4.1. 3, "Reactor Coolant System - Hot Shutdown," for shutdown residual heat removal loops made inoperable by ICW. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.7 that ensures the proper actions are taken for this condition.
J* A note modifies Action c in LCO 3.8.1.1, "AC Sources - Operating," to require entering the applicable Actions of the LCO for ["Onsite Power Distribution -
Operating" (Seabrook and Turkey Point)] ["A.C. Distribution-Operating" (St.
Lucie)] when Action c (one offsite circuit and one DG inoperable) is entered with no AC power to any train. Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7, the Actions of LCO 3.8.3.1 would not be entered even if all AC sources to the distribution system were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, Action c is modified by a Note to indicate that when the Action is entered with no AC source to any train, the Actions for LCO 3.8.3.1, Onsite Power Distribution -
Operating," must be entered. This allows Action c to provide requirements for the loss of one offsite circuit and one DG without regard to whether a train is de-energized while LCO 3.8.3.1 provides the appropriate restrictions for a de-energized train.
- k. For St. Lucie, a note modifies the Action in LCO 3.8.1.2, "Electrical Power Systems - Shutdown," that directs entering the Action of LCO 3.8.2.2, "A.C.
Distribution - Shutdown" (Unit 1) LCO 3.8.2.2, "Onsite Power Distribution -
Shutdown" (Unit 2), with one required train de-energized as a result of an inoperable offsite circuit. Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Action of LCO 3.8.2.2 is not entered even if all AC sources to it are inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, the Action of LCO 3.8.1.2 is modified by a note to indicate that when this Action is entered with no AC power to any required engineered safety features (ESF) bus, the Action for LCO 3.8.2.2 must be entered. This note allows the Action in LCO 3.8.1.2 to provide requirements for the loss of the offsite circuit, whether or not a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.2.2
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 15 of 33 provides the appropriate restrictions for the situation involving a de-energized train.
- 1. For Seabrook and Turkey Point, a note modifies the Action in LCO 3.8.1.2, "A.C. Sources - Shutdown," that directs entering the Action of LCO 3.8.3.2, "Onsite Power Distribution - Shutdown," with one required train de-energized as a result of an inoperable offsite circuit. Pursuant to proposed LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7, the Action ofLCO 3.8.3.2 would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, the Action of LCO 3.8.1.2 is modified by a note to indicate that when the Action is entered with no AC power to any required ESF bus, the Action of LCO 3.8.3.2 must be entered.
This note allows LCO 3.8.1.2 to provide requirements for the loss of the offsite circuit, whether or not a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.3.2 would provide the appropriate restrictions for the situation involving a de-energized train.
- m. For St. Lucie, a note modifies the Action in LCO 3.8.2.1, "A.C. Power Distribution - Operating" (Unit 1) LCO 3.8.3.1, "Onsite Power Distribution -
Operating," (Unit 2) that directs entering the applicable Actions of LCO 3.8.2.3, "D.C. Distribution - Operating" (Unit 1) LCO 3.8.2.1, "D.C. Sources -
Operating," for DC trains made inoperable by inoperable AC distribution system. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components. Inoperability of a distribution system can result in loss of charging power to batteries and eventual loss of DC power. This note ensures that the appropriate attention is given to restoring charging power to batteries, if necessary, after loss of distribution systems.
- n. For Seabrook and Turkey Point, a note modifies Action a in LCO 3.8.3.1, "Onsite Power Distribution - Operating," to direct entering the applicable Actions of LCO 3.8.2.1, "DC Sources - Operating," for DC trains made inoperable by inoperable AC power distribution system. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components. Inoperability of a distribution system can result in loss of charging power to batteries and eventual loss of DC power. This note ensures that the appropriate attention is given to restoring charging power to batteries, if necessary, after loss of distribution systems.
3.5 Changes to Actions in LCO 3.8.1.1, "AC Sources - Operating" Supported systems are not declared inoperable solely as a result of inoperability of a normal or emergency electrical power source because, based on the TS definition, operability requires either normal or emergency electrical power. Proposed LCO 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 rely on the Actions for inoperable AC sources and inoperable DGs to provide the necessary restriction for cross-train inoperabilities. Required Actions A.2, B.2, and C.1 in ISTS LCO 3.8.1, "AC Sources - Operating," address cross-train inoperabilities for the conditions that an offsite circuit is inoperable, a DG is inoperable, or both offsite circuits are inoperable, respectively. The current TS address cross-train inoperability only for the condition that a DG is inoperable.
Consequently, this change revises TS 3.8.1.1 Actions a and d for inoperable offsite circuits to address cross train inoperability consistent with the ISTS.
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 16 of33 3.5.1 Changes to LCO 3.8.1.1 - St. Lucie Units 1 and 2
- a. Below is current LCO 3.8.1.1, Action a:
With one offsite circuit of 3.8.1.1.a inoperable, except as provided in Action f. below, demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the remaining A.C. sources by performing Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.1.a within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and at least once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> thereafter.

LCO 3.0.4.a is not applicable when entering HOT SHUTDOWN.
FPL proposes to revise Action a to the following:
- 1. Demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the remaining A.C. sources by performing Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.1.a within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and at least once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> thereafter.
- 2. Declare required feature(s) with no offsite power available inoperable when its redundant required feature(s) is inoperable within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from discovery ofno offsite power to one train concurrent with inoperability of redundant required feature(s)
- 3. Restore the offsite circuit to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
- 4. LCO 3.0.4.a is not applicable when entering HOT SHUTDOWN.
This Action addresses the condition that one of the two required offsite circuits is inoperable. The proposed change reformats the Action and adds a requirement in item 2 to declare required feature(s) with no offsite power available inoperable when its redundant required feature(s) is inoperable within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from discovery of no offsite power to one train concurrent with inoperability of redundant required feature(s). The proposed Action applies when one train has no offsite power supplying its loads, and a required feature on the other train is inoperable. The completion time for this Action starts upon discovery that a train has no offsite power supplying its loads and a redundant required feature subsequently becomes inoperable.
Ac tion a.2 provides assurance that an event coincident with a single failure of the associated DG will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required features. These features are powered from the redundant AC electrical power train. The 24-hour completion time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities and considers the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources and the low probability of a design basis accident occurring during this period.
L-2018-049 Enclosuxe Page 17 of33 The St. Lucie auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system consists of one steam driven pump with greater than full flow capacity and two full flow capacity motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps. Each motor-driven pump supplies feedwater to one steam generator, and the turbine-driven pump supplies feedwater to both steam generators. The turbine driven AFW pump is considered a redundant required feature because the design is such that the remaining operable motor driven AFW pumps are not by themselves capable (without any reliance on the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pump powered by the emergency bus associated with the inoperable diesel generator) of providing 100% of the auxiliary feedwater flow assumed in the safety analysis.
The change to reformat the Action from a narrative paragraph to a list of discrete steps is administrative in nature and does not alter the technical requirements of the Action. This change enhances the presentation and clarity of the Action for the benefit of the TS user.
- b. Below is current LCO 3.8.1.1 Action b:

Additionally, within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> from the discovery of concurrent inoperability of required redundant feature(s) (including the steam driven auxiliary feed pump in MODE 1, 2, and 3), declare required feature(s) supported by the inoperable EDG inoperable if its redundant required feature(s) is inoperable.
FPL proposes to revise Action b as shown below:

With two of the required offsite A.C. circuits inoperable, restore one of the inoperable offsite sources to OPERABLE status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Following restoration of one offsite source, follow ACTION Statement a. with the time requirement of that ACTION Statement based on the time of the initial loss of the remaining inoperable offsite A.C. circuit.
FPL proposes to revise Action d as shown below:
- d. With two of the required offsite A.C. circuits inoperable:
- 1. Declare required frature(s) inoperable when its redundant required fra ture(s) is inopera hie within 12hours from discovery oftwo o.isite circuits inoperable concurrent with inoperability ofredundant required frature(s) .
- 2. Restore one of the inoperable offsite sources to OPERABLE status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
- 3. Following restoration of one offsite source, follow ACTION Statement a. with the time requirement of that ACTION Statement based on the time of the initial loss of the remaining inoperable offsite A.C. circuit.
This Action applies when both of the required offsite circuits are inoperable. The proposed change reformats the Action and adds a requirement in item 1 to declare required feature(s) inoperable when its redundant required feature(s) is inoperable within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> from discovery two offsite circuits inoperable concurrent with inoperability of redundant required feature(s). Action d.1 is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions. T hese features are powered from redundant AC safety trains. This includes motor driven
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 21 of 33 auxiliary feedwater pumps. Single train features, such as turbine driven auxiliary pumps, are not included. The completion time for Action d.1 would start upon discovery that both offsite circuits are inoperable and a required feature is discovered inoperable.
With two offsite circuits inoperable, the completion time for inoperable redundant 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 for one train without offsite power. 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 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 offsite circuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are 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 /> is appropriate. The completion time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities.

This Action addresses the condition that one of the two required offsite circuits is inoperable. The proposed change reformats the Action and adds a requirement to declare required feature(s) with no offsite power
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 22 of33 available inoperable when its redundant required feature(s) is inoperable within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> from discovery of no offsite power to one train concurrent with inoperability of redundant required feature(s). Proposed Action a.2 applies when one train has no offsite power supplying its loads, and a required feature on the other train is inoperable. The completion time for this Action a.2 would start upon discovery that a train has no offsite power supplying its loads and a redundant required feature subsequently becomes inoperable.
Action a.2 provides assurance that an event coincident with a single failure of the associated DG will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required features. These features are powered from the redundant AC electrical power train. Since the emergency feedwater (EFW) system incudes only one motor-driven pump, the turbine-driven EFW pump is considered a required redundant feature. The 24-hour completion time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities and considers the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources and the low probability of a design basis accident occurring during this period.

L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 28 of 33 The proposed change adds a note that modifies Action c to require entering the applicable Actions of the 3.8.3.1, "Onsite Power Distribution - Operating," when ACTION c is entered with no AC power source to any train. This allows Action c to provide requirements for the loss of one offsite circuit and one DG without regard to whether a train is de-energized. The Actions in LCO 3.8.3.1 "Onsite Power Distribution - Operating," provide the restrictions for a de-energized train.
The change to reformat the Action from a narrative paragraph to a list of discrete steps is administrative in nature and does not alter the technical requirements of the Action. This change enhances the presentation and clarity of the Action for the benefit of the TS user.

This ACTION applies to both units simultaneously.
FPL proposes to revise Action c as shown below:
- e. With two of the above required startup transformers or their associated circuits inoperable:
- 1. Notify the NRC within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

This ACTION applies to both units simultaneously.
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 29 of 33
- 4. With only one startup transformer and associated circuits restored, perform Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.1 a on the OPERABLE Startup transformer at least once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, and restore the other startup transformer and its associated circuits to OPERABLE status or shutdown in accordance with the provisions of Action Statement 3.8.1.1a with time requirements of that Action Statement based on the time of initial loss of a startup transformer. This ACTION applies to both units simultaneously.
This Action applies when both of the required startup transformers or their associated circuits are inoperable. The proposed change reformats the Action and adds a requirement to declare required feature(s) inoperable when its redundant required feature(s) is inoperable within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> from discovery two offsite circuits inoperable concurrent with inoperability of redundant required feature(s). These features are powered from redundant AC safety trains. The completion time for this Action would start at any time that both offsite circuits are inoperable and a required feature is discovered inoperable.
With two offsite circuits inoperable, the completion time for inoperable redundant 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 for one train without offsite power. 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 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 offsite circuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are 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 /> is appropriate. The completion time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities.
The change to reformat the Action from a narrative paragraph to a list of discrete steps is administrative in nature and does not alter the technical requirements of the Action. This change enhances the presentation and clarity of the Action for the benefit of the TS user.
3.6 Safety Function Determination Program While LCO 3.0.6 (3.0.7 for Turkey Point) allows not entering the Actions for supported systems that are inoperable solely due to a support system LCO not being met, it also requires an evaluation in accordance with the Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP) to determine if a loss of safety function exists.
Accordingly, this change proposes to add a SFDP to the administrative section of the TS.
This program ensures that a loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions are taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6 or 3.0.7, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists. Additionally, other appropriate actions may be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 30 of33 corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONs. This program implements the requirements of Specification 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 and contains the following:
- a. Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected,
- b. Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists,
- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's completion time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities, and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, no concurrent loss of offsite power, or no concurrent loss of onsite diesel generator(s), a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable, or
- b. A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable, or
- c. A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.
The SFDP identifies where a loss of safety function exists. If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate ACTIONs of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered. When a loss of safety function is caused by the inoperability of a single TS support system, the appropriate ACTIONs to enter are those of the support system.
The proposed SFDP is consistent with the SFDP in ISTS Specification 5.15, "Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)," with a variation due to the differences between the content of the ISTS and the non-ISTS. The proposed SFDP uses the term ACTIONS rather than Conditions and Required Actions. This variation does not make any technical changes to the SFDP.

4.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS
4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria
- NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan - discusses in section 16, Technical Specifications, that plants with TS based on the previous standard TS and plants with custom TS may partially adopt ISTS provisions without adopting the ISTS format. TS change requests for facilities with TS based on previous standard TS should comply with comparable provisions in the ISTS to the extent possible or justify deviations from the ISTS.
- 10 CFR 50.36 Technical Specifications - establishes the requirements for information that must be included in the TS.
The proposed change is consistent with the above requirements.
4.2 Precedent
- The proposed changes are consistent with NUREG-1431, Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants, and NUREG-1432, Standard Technical Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants.
- In September 2015, Limerick Generating Station received Amendments 219 and 181 [Reference 5], which among other changes, added LCO 3.0.6 and the SFDP to the TS. The NRC approved the addition of LCO 3.0.6 to the TS (non-ISTS) on the basis that it would eliminate potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the entry into multiple support and supported systems' LCO conditions and required actions by providing all the actions that are necessary to ensure the plant is maintained in a safe condition in the support system's required actions.
4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration The proposed amendments modify the Technical Specifications (TS) for St. Lucie, Seabrook, and Turkey Point to incorporate the provisions of Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.6 in the ISTS, which provide the actions to be taken when the inoperability of a support system results in the inoperability of related supported systems. In addition, the proposed change adds a new Safety Function Determination Program to the administrative section of the TS to ensure that a loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions are taken when using the provisions of LCO 3.0.6.
FPL and NextEra evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," as discussed below:
- 1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 32 of 33 This change is associated with the administrative requirements for implementing the TS, which are not initiators of any accidents previously evaluated, so the probability of accidents previously evaluated is unaffected by the proposed change. The proposed change does not alter the design, function, or operation of any plant structure, system, or component (SSC). The capability of any operable TS-required SSC to perform its specified safety function is not impacted by the proposed change. As a result, the outcomes of accidents previously evaluated are unaffected. Therefore, the proposed change does not result in a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Therefore, it is concluded that this change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The proposed change does not challenge the integrity or performance of any safety-related systems. No plant equipment is installed or removed, and the changes do not alter the design, physical configuration, or method of operation of any plant SSC. No physical changes are made to the plant, so no new causal mechanisms are introduced. Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
Therefore, it is concluded that this change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No.
The ability of any operable SSC to perform its designated safety function is unaffected by the proposed changes. The proposed change does not alter any safety analyses assumptions, safety limits, limiting safety system settings, or method of operating the plant. The change does not adversely affect plant operating margins or the reliability of equipment credited in the safety analyses.
The proposed change allows not entering the Actions for supported systems that are inoperable solely due to a support system LCO not being met. However, the change also requires implementing a Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP) to determine if a loss of safety function exists. If the SFDP determines that a loss of safety function exists, the appropriate actions of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.
Based on the above, FPL and N extEra conclude that the proposed change presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
L-2018-049 Enclosure Page 33 of33 4.4 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed m anner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safe ty of the general public.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The proposed change would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed change does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed change meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed change.

INSERT SFDP
- r. Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)
This program ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists.
Additionally, other appropriate actions may be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONs. This program implements the requirements ofLCO 3.0.6. The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a. Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected,
- b. Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists,
- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's completion time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities, and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, no concurrent loss of offsite power, or no concurrent loss of onsite diesel generator(s), a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable, or
- b. A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable, or
- c. A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.
The SFDP identifies where a loss of safety function exists. If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate ACTIONs of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered. When a loss of safety function is caused by the inoperability of a single Technical Specification support system, the appropriate ACTIONs to enter are those of the support system.

INSERT SFDP
- s. Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)
This program ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists.
Additionally, other appropriate actions may be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONs. This program implements the requirements ofLCO 3.0.6. The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a. Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected,
- b. Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists,
- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's completion time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities, and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, no concurrent loss of offsite power, or no concurrent loss of onsite diesel generator(s), a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable, or
- b. A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable, or
- c. A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.
The SFDP identifies where a loss of safety function exists. If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate ACTIONs of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered. When a loss of safety function is caused by the inoperability of a single Technical Specification support system, the appropriate ACTIONs to enter are those of the support system.

INSERT SFDP
- o. Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)
This program ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists.
Additionally, other appropriate actions may be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONs. This program implements the requirements of LCO 3.0.6. The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a. Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected,
- b. Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists,
- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's completion time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities, and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure , no concurrent loss of offsite power, or no concurrent loss of onsite diesel generator(s), a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant to the system (s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable, or
- b. A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable, or
- c. A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.
The SFDP identifies where a loss of safety function exists. If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate ACTIONs of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered. When a loss of safety function is caused by the inoperability of a single Technical Specification support system, the appropriate ACTIONs to enter are those of the support system.

This program ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.7, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists.
Additionally, other appropriate actions may be taken as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTION s. This program implements the requirements ofLCO 3.0.7. The SFDP shall contain the following:
- a. Provisions for cross train checks to ensure a loss of the capability to perform the safety function assumed in the accident analysis does not go undetected,
- b. Provisions for ensuring the plant is maintained in a safe condition if a loss of function condition exists,
- c. Provisions to ensure that an inoperable supported system's completion time is not inappropriately extended as a result of multiple support system inoperabilities, and
- d. Other appropriate limitations and remedial or compensatory actions.
A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, no concurrent loss of offsite power, or no concurrent loss of onsite diesel generator(s), a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed. For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:
- a. A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable, or
- b. A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable, or
- c. A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable.
The SFDP identifies where a loss of safety function exists. If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate ACTIONs of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered. When a loss of safety function is caused by the inoperability of a single Technical Specification support system, the appropriate ACTIONs to enter are those of the support system.

Surveillances do not have to be performed to be performed on the associated inoperable equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits) , as permitted by SR 4.0.4 Therefore, utilizing LCO 3.0.4 is not a violation of SR 4.0.1 or SR 4.0.4 for any Surveillances that have not been performed on inoperable equipment. However, SRs must be met to ensure OPERABILITY prior to declaring the associated equipment OPERABLE (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected LCO.
3.0.6 I INSERT B 3.0.6 I
INSERT B 3.0.6 LCO 3.0.6 establishes an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for supported systems that have a support system LCO specified in the Technical Specifications (fS). This exception is provided because LCO 3.0.2 would require that the ACTIONS of the associated inoperable supp orted system LCO be entered solely due to the inoperability of the support sys tem. This excep tion is justified because the actions that are required to en sure the unit is maintained in a safe condition are sp ecified in the support system LCO's ACTIONS. These ACTIONS may include entering the supported system's ACTIONS or may specify other ACTIONS.
When a support system is inoperable and there is an LCO sp ecified for it in the TS, the supported system(s) are required to be declared inoperable if determined to be inoperable as a result of the support system inoperability. However, it is not necessary to enter into the supported systems' ACTIONs unless directed to do so by the support system's ACTION. The potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the en try into multiple support and supported systems' LCOs' ACTION are eliminated by providing all the actions that are necessary to en sure the unit is maintained in a safe condition in the support system's ACTIONs.
H owever, there are instances where a support system's ACTION may either direct a supp orted sys tem to be declared inoperable or direct entry into the ACTIONs for the supported system. This may occur immediately or after some specified delay to p erform some other ACTION . Regardless of whether it is immediate or after some delay, when a support system's ACTION direc ts a supported system to be declared inoperable or directs entry into ACTIONS for a supported system, the applicable ACTIONS shall be entered in accordance with Specification 3.0. l.
Specification 6.8.4.r, "Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)," ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions are taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be m ade to determine if loss of safety function exis ts. A dditionally, o ther limitations, remedial actions, or compensatory actions may be identified as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONs. The SFDP implements the requirements of LCO 3.0.6.
The following examples use Figure B 3.0-1 to illustrate loss of safety function conditions that may result when a TS support system is inoperable. In this figure, the fifteen systems that comprise Train A are independent and redundant to the fifteen systems that comprise Train B. To correctly use the figure to illustrate the SFDP provision s for a cross train check, the figure establishes a relationship between support and supported sys tems as follows: the figure shows System 1 as a support system for System 2 and System 3; System 2 as a support system for System 4 and Sys tem 5; and System 4 as a support system for System 8 and System 9. Specifically, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable and:
- a. A system redundant to system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-1),
- b. A system redundant to system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-2), or
- c. A system redundant to support system (s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-3).
For the following examples, refer to Figure B 3.0-1.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-1 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable and System 5 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in Systems 5, 10, and 11.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-2 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 11 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in System 11 .
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-3 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 1 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in Systems 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
If an evaluation determines that a loss of safety function exists, the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exis ts are required to be entered.

This loss of safety function does not require the assumption of additional single failures or loss of offsite power. Since operations are being restricted in accordance with the ACTIONS of the support system, any resulting temporary loss of redundancy or single failure protection is taken into account. Similarly, the ACTIONS for inoperable offsite circuit(s) and inoperable diesel generator(s) provide the necessary restriction for cross train inoperabilities. This explicit cross train verification for inoperable AC electrical power sources also acknowledges that supported system(s) are not declared inoperable solely as a result of inoperability of a normal or emergency electrical power source (refer to the definition of OPERABILITY).
When loss of safety function is determined to exist, and the SFDP requires entry into the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists, consideration must be given to the specific type of function affected. Where a loss of function is solely due to a single TS support system (e.g., loss of automatic start due to inoperable instrumentation, or loss of pump suction source due to low tank level), the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the supp ort system. The ACTIONS for a support sys tem LCO adequately address the inop erabilities of that system without reliance on entering its supported system LCO. When the loss of function is the result of multiple support system s, the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the supported system.

The allowed completion times are reasonable , based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challeng ing plant systems. In COLD SHUTDOWN , the pressure stresses acting on the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary are much lower, and further deterioration is much less likely.
Surveillance Requirements 4.4 .6.2 Verifying Reactor Coolant System leakage to be within the LCO limits ensures the integrity of the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary is maintained . PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE would at first appear as UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and can only be positively identified by inspection . It should be noted that leakage past seals and gaskets is not PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE . UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE are determined by performance or a Reactor Coolant System water inventory balance.
The ACTION is modified by a note that requires an evaluation of affected systems if a pressure isolation valve is inoperable. The leakage may have affected system operability or isolation of a leaking flow path with an alternate valve may have degraded the ability of the interconnected system to perform its safety function.

These redundant required features are those that are assumed to function to mitigate an accident, coincident with a loss of offsite power, in the safety analysis, such as the emergency core cooling system and auxiliary feedwater system . Upon discovery of a concurrent inoperability of required redundant features the feature supported by the inoperable EOG is declared inoperable. Thus plant operators will be directed to supported feature TS action requirements for appropriate remedial actions for the inoperable required features .
The four hour completion time upon discovery that an opposite train required feature is inoperable is to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power, during the period that a EOG is inoperable, does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required features. The four hour completion time allows the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities . This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." The four hour completion time only begins on discovery that both an inoperable EOG exists and a required feature on the other train is inoperable.

These features are powered from the redundant AC electrical power train. The turbine driven AFW pump is considered a redundant required feature because the design is such that the remaining operable motor driven AFW pumps are not by themselves capable (without any reliance on the motor driven AFW pump powered by the emergency bus associated with the inoperable diesel generator) of providing 100% of the AFW assumed in the safety analysis.
The completion time (also referred to as allowed outage time (AOT)) for ACTION a.2 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the completion time "clock." In this ACTION, the completion time only begins on discovery that both:
- a. The train has no offsite power supplying it loads and
- b. A required feature on the other train is inoperable.
If at any time while one offsite circuit is inoperable a redundant required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this completion time begins to be tracked. Discovering no offsite power to one train of the onsite Class lE E lectrical Power Distribution System coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with the other train that has offsite power, results in starting the completion time for the ACTION. Twenty-four hours is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before subjecting the unit to transients associated with shutdown.
The remaining OPERABLE offsite circuit and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to Train A and Train B of the onsite Class 1E Distribution System. The 24-hour completion time takes into account the component OPERABILITY of the redundant counterpart to the inoperable required feature. Additionally, the 24-hour completion time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.,J

TS 3.8.1.1, ACTION "b" provides an allowed outage/action completion time (AOT) of up to 14 days toto restore a single inoperable diesel generator to operable status. This AOT is based on the findings of a deterministic and probabilistic safety analysis and is referred to as a "risk-informed" AOT.
Entry into this action requires that a risk assessment be performed in INSERT B.3.8.1.1.c accordance with the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP) ,
which is described in the Administrative Procedure that implements the Maintenance Rule pursuant to 10 CFR 50.65.
INSERT B.3.8.1.1 .d All EOG inoperabilities must be investigated for common-cause failures regardless of how long the EOG inoperability persists. When one diesel generator is inoperable , required ACTIONS 3.8.1.1.b and 3.8.1.1.c provide an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of EDGs. If it can be determined that the cause of the inoperable EOG does not exist on the remaining OPERABLE EOG , then SR 4.8.1 .1.2.a.4 does not have to be performed .
Eight (8) hours is reasonable to confirm that the OPERABLE EOG is not affected by the same problem as the inoperable EOG. If it cannot otherwise be determined that the cause of the initial inoperable EOG does not exist on the remaining EOG , then satisfactory performance of SR 4 .8.1.1.2.a.4 suffices to provide assurance of continued OPERABILITY of that EOG .
If the cause of the initial inoperability exists on the remaining OPERABLE EOG , that EOG would also be declared inoperable upon discovery, and ACTION 3.8.1.1.e would be entered . Once the failure is repaired (on either EOG) , the common-cause failure no longer exists.
Action g prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable diesel generator. There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with an inoperable diesel generator and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components , should not be applied in this circumstance.
Ambient conditions are the normal standby conditions for the diesel engines. Any normally running warmup systems should be in service and operating , and manufacturer's recommendations for engine oil and water temperatures and other parameters should be followed.
The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified AC . and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures

~IN_S_E_R_T_B_~*~_*1_*_-_s_o~ or extended time periods and 2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the facility status.
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.c Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Distribution System ACTIONS would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, ACTION c is modified by a note to indicate that when ACTION c is entered with no AC source to any train, the ACTIONs for LCO 3.8.2.1, "A.C. Distribution - Operating," must be immediately entered. This allows ACTION c to provide requirements for the loss of one offsite circuit and one DG, without regard to whether a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.2.1 provides the appropriate restrictions for a de-energized train.
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.d ACTION d.1, which applies when two offsite circuits are inoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions. The completion time for this failure of redundant 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 for one train without offsite power (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 allows a completion time of24 hours for two required offsite circuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are 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 /> is appropriate. These features are powered from redundant AC safety trains. This includes motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps. Single train features, such as turbine driven auxiliary pumps, are not included in the list.
The completion time for ACTION d.1 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." In this ACTIO , the completion time only begins on discovery that both:
- a. All required offsite circuits are inoperable and
- b. A required feature is inoperable.
If at any time while two offsite circuits are inoperable a required feature becomes inoperable, this completion time begins to be tracked.
INSERT B 3.8.1.2 SD Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the A.C. Distribution ACTION would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, the ACTION in LCO 3.8. 1.2, "Electrical Power Systems - Shutdown," is modified by a Note to indicate that when the ACTION is entered with no AC power to any required ESF bus, the ACTIONS of LCO 3.8.2.2 must be immediately entered. This Note allows the ACTIO in LCO 3.8.1.2 to provide requirements for the loss of the offsite circuit, whether or not a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.2.2 would provide the appropriate restrictions for the situation involving a de-energized train.

However, SRs must be met to ensure OPERABILITY prior to declaring the associated equipment OPERABLE (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected LCO.
!INSERT B 3.0 .6 I
INSERT B 3.0.6 LCO 3.0.6 establishes an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for supported systems that have a support system LCO specified in the Technical Specifications (TS). T his exception is provided because LCO 3.0.2 would require that the ACTIONS of the associated inoperable supported system LCO be entered solely due to the inoperability of the support system. This exception is justified because the actions that are required to ensure the unit is maintained in a safe condition are specified in the support system LCO's ACTIONS. These ACTIONS may include entering the supported system's ACTIONS or may specify other ACTIONS.
When a support system is inoperable and there is an LCO specified for it in the TS, the supported system(s) are required to be declared inoperable if determined to be inoperable as a result of the support system inoperability. However, it is not necessary to enter into the supported systems' ACTIONs unless directed to do so by the support system's ACTION. The potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the entry into multiple support and supported systems' LCOs' ACTION are eliminated by providing all the actions that are necessary to ensure the unit is maintained in a safe condition in the support system's ACTIONs.
However, there are instances where a support system's ACTION may either direct a supported system to be declared inoperable or direct entry into the ACTIONs for the supported system. This may occur immediately or after some specified delay to perform some other ACTION. Regardless of whether it is immediate or after some delay, when a support system's ACTION directs a supported system to be declared inoperable or directs entry into ACTIONS for a supported system, the applicable ACTIONS shall be entered in accordance with Specification 3.0.1.
Specification 6.8.4.s, "Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)," ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions are taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists. Additionally, other limitations, remedial actions, or compensatory actions may be identified as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported sys tem ACTIONs. The SFDP implements the requirements ofLCO 3.0.6.
T he following examples use Figure B 3.0-1 to illustrate loss of safety function conditions that may result when a TS support system is inoperable. In this figure, the fifteen systems that comprise Train A are independent and redundant to the fifteen systems that comprise Train B. To correctly use the figure to illustrate the SFDP provisions for a cross train check, the figure establishes a relationship between support and* supported systems as follows : the figure shows System 1 as a support system for System 2 and System 3; System 2 as a support system for System 4 and System 5; and System 4 as a support system for System 8 and System 9. Specifically, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable and:
- a. A system redundant to system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-1),
- b. A system redundant to system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-2), or
- c. A system redundant to support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-3).
For the following examples, refer to Figure B 3.0-1.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-1 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable and System 5 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in Systems 5, 10, and 11.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-2 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 11 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in System 11.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-3 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 1 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in System s 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11 .
If an evaluation determines that a loss of safety function exists, the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered.

This loss of safety function does not require the assumption of additional single failures or loss of offsite power. Since operations are being restricted in accordance with the ACTIONS of the support system, any resulting temporary loss of redundancy or single failure protection is taken into account. Similarly, the ACTIONS for inoperable offsite circuit(s) and inoperable diesel generator(s) provide the necessary restriction for cross train inoperabilities. This explicit cross train verification for inoperable AC electrical power sources also acknowledges that supported system(s) are not declared inoperable solely as a result of inoperability of a normal or emergency electrical power source (refer to the definition of OPERABILITY) .
When loss of safety function is determined to exist, and the SFDP requires entry into the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists, consideration must be given to the specific type of function affected. Where a loss of function is solely due to a single TS support sys tem (e.g., loss of automatic start due to inoperable instrumentation, or loss of pump suction source due to low tank level), the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the support system. The ACTIONS for a support system LCO adequately address the inoperabilities of that system withou t reliance on entering its supported system LCO. When the loss of function is the result of multiple support systems, the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the supported system.

LUCIE UNIT 2 BASES FOR SECTION 3/4.8 3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.8.1, 3/4.8.2 and 3/4.8.3 A.C. SOURCES, D.C. SOURCES and ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the AC . and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during operation ensures that sufficient power will be available to supply the safety related equipment required for 1) the safe shutdown of the facility and 2) the mitigation and control of accident conditions within the facility. The minimum specified independent and redundant AC . and D.C . power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criteria 17 of Appendix "A" to 10 CFR 50 .
The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commensurate with the level of degradation . The OPERABILITY of the power sources are consistent with the initial condition assumptions of the safety analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one redundant set of onsite AC . and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions coincident with an assumed loss of l....1N_S_E_R_T~3-.8-.-1.-1-.a--,I offsite power and single failure of the other onsite AC . source. The AC .
L__ and D.C. source allowable out-of-service times are based on Regulatory
---~-'" Guide 1.93, "Availability of Electrical Power Sources," December 1974.
o--:;. when one diesel generator is inoperable , there is an additional requirement to check that all required systems, subsystems, trains ,
components and devices (i.e ., redundant features) , that depend on the remaining OPERABLE diesel generator as a source of emergency power, are also OPERABLE , and that the steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump is OPERABLE . These redundant required features are those that are assumed to function to mitigate an accident, coincident with a loss of offsite power, in the safety analysis , such as the emergency core cooling system and auxiliary feedwater system. Upon discovery of a concurrent inoperability of required redundant features the feature supported by the inoperable EOG is declared inoperable. Thus plant operators will be directed to supported feature TS action requirements for appropriate remedial actions for the inoperable required features .
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.a ACTION a.2, which only applies if the train cannot be powered from an offsite source, is intended to provide assurance that an event coincident with a single failure of the associated DG will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required feature s. These features are powered from the redundant AC electrical power train. T he turbine driven AFW pump is considered a redundant required feature because the design is such that the remaining operable motor driven AFW pumps are not by themselves capable (without any reliance on the motor driven AFW pump powered by the emergency bus associated with the inoperable diesel generator) of providing 100% of the AFW assumed in the safety analysis.
The completion time (also referred to as allowed outage time (A01)) for ACTION a.2 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the completion time "clock." In this ACTION, the completion time only begins on discovery that both:
- a. The train has no offsite power supplying it loads and
- b. A required feature on the other train is inoperable.
If at any time while one offsite circuit is inoperable a redundant required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this completion time begins to be tracked. Discovering no offsite power to one train of the onsite Class lE E lectrical Power Distribution System coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with the other train that has offsite power, results in starting the completion time for the ACTION. Twenty-four hours is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before subjecting the unit to transients associated with shutdown.
The remaining OPERABLE offsite circuit and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to Train A and Train B of the onsite Class lE Distribution System. The 24-hour completion time takes into account the component OPERABILITY of the redundant counterpart to the inoperable required feature. Additionally, the 24-hour completion time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.iJ

The four hour completion time upon discovery that an opposite train required feature is inoperable is to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power, during the period that a EOG is inoperable, does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required features .
The four hour completion time allows the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." The four hour completion time only begins on discovery that both an inoperable EOG exists and a required feature on the other train is inoperable.
TS 3.8.1.1, ACTION "b" provides an allowed outage/action completion time (AOT) of up to 14 days to restore a single inoperable diesel generator to operable status. This AOT is based on the findings of a deterministic and probabilistic safety analysis and is referred to as a "risk-informed " AOT.
Entry into this action requires that a risk assessment be performed in accordance with the Configuration Risk Management Program (CRMP),
which is described in the Administrative Procedure that implements the INSERT B 3.8.1 .1.c Maintenance Rule pursuant to 10 CFR 50.65.
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.d All EOG inoperabilities must be investigated for common-cause failures regardless of how long the EOG inoperability persists. When one diesel generator is inoperable, required ACTIONS 3.8.1.1.b and 3.8.1.1.c provide an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of EOGs. If it can be determined that the cause of the inoperable EOG does not exist on the remaining OPERABLE EOG , then SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 does not have to be performed . Eight (8) hours is reasonable to confirm that the OPERABLE EOG is not affected by the same problem as the inoperable EOG . If it cannot otherwise be determined that the cause of the initial inoperable EOG does not exist on the remaining EOG , then satisfactory performance of SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.4 suffices to provide assurance of continued OPERABILITY of that EOG . If the cause of the initial inoperability exists on the remaining OPERABLE EOG , that EOG would also be declared inoperable upon discovery, and ACTION 3.8.1.1.e would be entered . Once the failure is repaired (on either EOG) , the common-cause failure no longer exists.
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.c Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Distribution System ACTIONS would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, ACTION c is modified by a note to indicate that when ACTION c is entered with no AC source to any train, the ACTIONs for LCO 3.8.3.1, "A.C. Distribution - Operating," must be immediately entered. This allows ACTION c to provide requirements for the loss of one offsite circuit and one DG, without regard to whether a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.3.1 provides the appropriate restrictions for a de-energized train.
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.d ACTION d. l , which applies when two offsite circuits are inoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions. The completion time for this failure of redundan t 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 for one train without offsite p ower (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 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 offsite circuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are 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 /> is appropriate. These features are powered from redundant AC safety trains. This includes motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps. Single train features, such as turbine driven auxiliary pumps, are not included in the list.
The completion time for ACTION d.l is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." In this ACTION, the completion time only begins on discovery that both:
- a. All required offsite circuits are inoperable and
- b. A required feature is inoperable.
If at any time while two offsite circuits are inoperable a required feature becomes inoperable, this completion time begins to be tracked.

Action g prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4 .b to an inoperable diesel generator. There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with an inoperable diesel generator and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which allow entry into a MODE or other specified cond ition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components , should not be applied in this circumstance .
The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified AC . and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that 1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition INSERT B 3.8.1.2 SD for extended time periods and 2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.
If the inoperable AC . power source and associated distribution system or D.C. power sou rce and associated distribution system cannot be restored to an OPERABLE status within the allowable outage time , the plant must be brought to a MODE in which overall plant risk is minimized . To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least HOT STANDBY within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Remaining within the Applicability of the LCO is acceptable because the plant risk in HOT SHUTDOWN is similar to or lower than COLD SHUTDOWN (reference CE NPSD-1186-A, Technical Justification for the Risk Informed Modification to Selected Required Action End States for CEOG PWRs, October 2001 ). In HOT SHUTDOWN there are more accident mitigation systems available and there is more redundancy and diversity in core heat removal mechanisms than in COLD SHUTDOWN . However, voluntary entry into COLD SHUTDOWN may be made as it is also an acceptable low-risk state. These ACTIONs are modified by a Note that states that LCO 3.0.4.a is not applicable when entering HOT SHUTDOWN . This Note prohibits the use of LCO 3.0.4.a to enter HOT SHUTDOWN during startup with the LCO not met.
However, there is no restriction on the use of LCO 3.0.4 .b, if applicable, because LCO 3.0.4.b requires performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components , consideration of the results ,
determination of the acceptability of entering HOT SHUTDOWN , and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate. LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable to , and the Note does not preclude, changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with INSERT B 3.8.3.1 ACTIONS or that are part of a shutdown of the unit.
INSERT B 3.8.1.2 SD Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Distribution System's ACTIONs would not be entered even if all AC sources to it are inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, the ACTION in LCO 3.8.1.2, "A.C. Sources - Shutdown," is modified by a Note to indicate that when the ACTION is entered with no AC power to any required ESF bus, the ACTIONS of LCO 3.8.3.2 must be immediately entered. This Note allows the ACTION in LCO 3.8.1.2 to provide requirements for the loss of the offsite circuit, whether or not a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.3.2 would provide the appropriate restrictions for the situation involving a de-energized train.
INSERT B 3.8.3.1 The ACTION in LCO 3.8.3.1, "Onsite Power Distribution - Operating," is modified by a Note that requires the applicable ACTIONS ofLCO 3.8.2.1, "D.C. Sources - Operating," to be entered for DC trains made inoperable by inoperable power distribution subsystems. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components. lnoperability of a distribution system can result in loss of charging power to batteries and eventual loss of DC power.
This Note ensures that the appropriate attention is given to restoring charging power to batteries, if necessary, after loss of distribution systems
Seabrook Proposed Technical Specification Bases Changes (Mark-Up) 3/4 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3/4.0 APPLICABILITY the LCO is required to be met (i.e., when the unit is in the MODES or other specified conditions of the
_B_A_S_E_S_ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _----1Applicability statement of each Specification).
Specification 3.0 .1 through 3.0.4 establish e general requirements applicable to Limiting Conditions for Operation . These require ents are based on the requirements for Limiting Conditions for Operation stated in the de of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2):
"Limiting conditions for oper on are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for s e operation of the facility. When a limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor is ot met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by th technical specification until the condition can be met."
Specification 3.0.1 establis s the Applicability statement within each individual specification as the requirement for when (i.e., in whioh OPeRATIO~JAL MODeS or other speoified oonditions) conformance to the Limiting Conditions for Operation is required for safe operation of the faoility . The /\CTION requirements establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified time limits when the requirements of a Limiting Condition for Operation are not ffiet-:-
There are two basic types of ACTION requirements . The first specifies the remedial measures that permit oontinued operation of the faoility whioh is not further restricted by the time limits of the ACTIO~J requirements. In this case , conformanoe to the ACTION requirements provides an aooeptable level of safety for unlimited oontinued operation as long as the ACTIO~J requirements oontinue to be met. The seoond type of ACTION requirement speoifies a time limit in *.vhioh oonformance to the oonditions of the Limiting Condition for Operation must be met. This time limit is the allowable outage time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPeRABLe status or for restoring parameters within speoified limits. If these actions are not oompleted within the allowable outage time limits, a shutdown is required to plaoe the faoility in a MODe or oondition in whioh the speoification no longer applies. It is not intended that the shutdown ACTION requirements be used as an operational oonvenienoe whioh permits (routine) voluntary removal of a system(s) or oomponent(s) from servioe in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable.
The specified time limits of the ACTIO~J requirements are applioable from the point in time it is identified that a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. The time limits of the ACTIO~J requirements are also applioable when a system or oomponent is removed from servioe for surveillanoe testing or investigation of operational problems. Individual specifications may inolude a speoified time limit for the oompletion of a Surveillance Requirement when equipment is removed from servioe. In this case, the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are applioable *.vhen this limit e*pires if the surveillanoe has not been oompleted .
When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements , the plant may hai.1e entered a MODe in whioh a new speoifioation becomes applioable. In this case , the time limits of the ACTION requirements *.vould apply from the point in time that the new speoification beoomes applioable if the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met.

Specification 3.0.2 establishes that nonoomplianoe with a speoifoation e>Eists when the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and the assooiated ACTION requirements have not been implemented within the speoified time interval. The purpose of this speoifioation is to olarify that (1) implementation of the ACTION requirements within the speoified time interval oonstitutes oomplianoe with a speoifioation and (2) oompletion of the remedial measures of the ACTIO~J requirements is not required when oomplianoe with a Limiting Condition of Operation is restored within the time interval speoified in the assooiated ACTION requirements.
Specification 3.0.3 establishes the shutdown ACTION requirements that must be implemented when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met and the condition is not specifically addressed by the associated ACTION requirements . The purpose of this specification is to delineate the time limits for placing the unit in a safe shutdown MODE when plant operation cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation defined by the Limiting Conditions for Operation and its ACTION requirements . It is not intended to be used as an operational convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of redundant systems or components from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. One hour is allowed to prepare for an orderly shutdown before initiating a change in plant operation . This time permits the operator to coordinate the reduction in electrical generation with the load dispatcher to ensure the stability and availability of the electrical grid . The time limits specified to reach lower MODES of operation permit the shutdown to proceed in a controlled and orderly manner that is well within the specified maximum cooldown rate and within the cooldown capabilities of the facility assuming only the minimum required equipment is OPERABLE. This reduces thermal stresses on components of the primary coolant system and the potential for a plant upset that could challenge safety systems under conditions for which this specification applies.
If remedial measures permitting limited continued operation of the facility under the provisions of the ACTION requirements are completed , the shutdown may be terminated . The time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from the point in time there was a failure to meet a Limiting Condition for Operation . Therefore , the shutdown may be terminated if the ACTION requirements have been met or the time limits of the ACTION requirements have not expired ,
thus providing an allowance for the completion of the required actions.
The time limits of Specification 3.0.3 allow 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br /> for the plant to be in the COLD SHUTDOWN MODE when a shutdown is required during the POWER MODE of operation . If the plant is in a lower MODE of operation when a shutdown is required , the time limit for reaching the next lower MODE of operation applies. However, if a lower MODE of operation is reached in less time than allowed , the total allowable time to reach COLD SHUTDOWN , or other applicable MODE, is not reduced . For example , if HOT STANDBY is reached in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, the time allowed to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is the next 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br /> because the total time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />.
SEABROOK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-2
INSERT B 3.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the associated ACTIONS shall be met.
The completion time of each ACTION is applicable from the point in time that an ACTION is entered. The ACTIONS establish those remedial measures that must be taken within the specified completion times when the requirements of an LCO are not met. This Specification establishes that:
- a. Completion of the ACTIO S within the specified completion times constitutes compliance with a Specification, and
- b. Completion of the ACTIONS is not required when an LCO is met within the specified completion time, unless otherwise specified.
There are two basic types of ACTIONS. The first type of ACTIO specifies a time limit in which the LCO must be met. This time limit is the completion time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or to restore variables to within specified limits. If this type of ACTION is not completed within the specified completion time, a shutdown may be required to place the unit in a MODE or condition in which the Specification is not applicable. (Whether stated as an ACTION or not, correction of the condition that necessitated entered the ACTION is an action that may always be considered upon entering ACTIONS.) T he second type of ACTION specifies the remedial measures that permit continued op eration of the unit that is not further restricted by the completion time. In this case, compliance with the ACTIONS provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation.
Completing the ACTIONS is not required when an LCO is met or is no longer applicable, unless otherwise stated in the individual Specifications.
The completion times of the ACTIONS are also applicable when a system or component is removed from service intentionally. The reasons for intentionally relying on the ACTIONS include, but are no t limited to, p erformance of Surveillances, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, or investigation of operational problems. E n tering ACTIONS for these reasons must be done in a manner that does not compromise safety. Intentional entry into ACTIONS should not be made for operational convenience. Additionally, if intentional entry into ACTIONS would result in redundant equipment being inoperable, alternatives should be used instead. Doing so limits the time both subsystems/trains of a safety function are inoperable and limits the time conditions exist which may result in LCO 3.0.3 being entered. Individual Specifications may specify a time limit for performing a Surveillance Requirement when equipment is removed from service or bypassed for testing. In this case, the completion times of the ACTIONS are applicable when this time limit expires, if the equipment remains removed from service or bypassed.
When a change in MODE or o ther specified condition is required to comply with ACTIONS, the unit may enter a MODE or other specified condition in which another Specification becomes applicable. In this case, the completion times of the associated ACTIONS would apply from the point in time that the new Specification becomes applicable, and the ACTIO Sare entered.
3/4 .0 APPLICABILITY BASES
- a. The OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service; or
- b. The OPERABILITY of other equipment.

This Specification does not provide time to perform any other preventive or corrective maintenance.
An example of demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service is reopening a containment isolation valve that has been closed to comply with Required Actions

Specifications 4.0.1 through 4.0.5 establish the general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3) :
"Surveillance requirements are requ irements relating to test, calibration , or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions of operation will be met."

SEABROOK- UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-3c Amendment 57 , BC 07 02 , 17-03
INSERT B 3.0.6 Specification 3.0.6 establishes an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for supported systems that have a support system LCO specified in the Technical Specifications (TS). This exception is provided because LCO 3.0.2 would require that the ACTIONS of the associated inoperable supported system LCO be entered solely due to the inoperability of the support system. This exception is justified because the actions that are required to ensure the unit is maintained in a safe condition are specified in the support system LCO's ACTIONS. These ACTIONS may include entering the supported system's ACTIONS or may specify other ACTIONS.
When a support system is inoperable and there is an LCO specified for it in the TS, the supported system(s) are required to be declared inoperable if determined to be inoperable as a result of the support system inoperability. However, it is not necessary to enter into the supported systems' ACTIONs unless directed to do so by the support system's ACTION. The potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the entry into multiple support and supported systems' LCOs' ACTION are eliminated by providing all the actions that are necessary to ensure the unit is maintained in a safe condition in the support system's ACTIONs.
However, there are instances where a support system's ACTION may either direct a supported system to be declared inoperable or direct entry into the ACTIONs for the supported system. This may occur immediately or after some specified delay to perform some other ACTION. Regardless of whether it is immediate or after some delay, when a support system's ACTION directs a supported system to be declared inoperable or directs entry into ACTIONS for a supported system, the applicable ACTIONS shall be entered in accordance with Specification 3.0.1.
Specification 6.7. 6.o, "Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)," ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions are taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.6, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists. Additionally, other limitations, remedial actions, or compensatory actions may be identified as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONs. The SFDP implements the requirements ofLCO 3.0.6.
The following examples use Figure B 3.0-1 to illustrate loss of safety function conditions that may result when a TS support system is inoperable. In this figure, the fifteen systems that comprise Train A are independent and redundant to the fifteen systems that comprise Train B. To correctly use the figure to illustrate the SFDP provisions for a cross train check, the figure establishes a relationship between support and supported systems as follows: the figure shows System 1 as a support system for System 2 and System 3; System 2 as a support system for System 4 and System 5; and System 4 as a support system for System 8 and System 9. Specifically, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable and:
- a. A system redundant to system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-1),
- b. A system redundant to system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-2), or
- c. A system redundant to support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-3).
For the following examples, refer to Figure B 3.0-1.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-1 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable and System 5 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in Systems 5, 10, and 11.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-2 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 11 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in System 11.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.6-3 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 1 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in Systems 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
If an evaluation determines that a loss of safety function exists, the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered.
TRAIN B System 8 System 8 Syst.m4 System 4 System 9 System 9 System 2 System 2 System 10 System 10 System 5 System 5 System 11 System 11 System 1 System 1 System 12 System 12 System 6 System 6 System 13 System 13 System 3 System 3 System 14 System 14 System 7 System 7 System 15 System 15 Figure B 3.0-1 Configuration of Trains and Systems This loss of safety function does not require the assumption of additional single failures or loss of offsite power. Since operations are being restricted in accordance with the ACTIONS of the support system, any resulting temporary loss of redundancy or single failure protection is taken into account. Similarly, the ACTIONS for inoperable offsite circuit(s) and inoperable diesel generator(s) provide the necessary restriction for cross train inoperabilities. This explicit cross train verification for inoperable AC electrical p ower sources also acknowledges that supported system(s) are not declared inoperable solely as a result of inoperability of a normal or emergency electrical power source (refer to the definition of OPERABILITY).
When loss of safety function is determined to exist, and the SFDP requires entry into the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists, consideration must be given to the specific type of function affected. Where a loss of function is solely due to a single TS support system (e.g., loss of automatic start due to inoperable instrumentation, or loss of pump suction source due to low tank level), the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the supp ort system. The ACTIONS for a support system LCO adequately address the inoperabilities of that system without reliance on entering its supported system LCO . When th e loss of function is the result of m ultiple support systems, the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the supported system.
REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE 3/4.4.6.2 OPERATIONAL LEAKAGE (Continued)
Pressure Isolation Valve Leakage The specified allowed leakage from any RCS pressure isolation valve is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of possible in-series check valve failure . It is apparent that when pressure isolation is provided by two in-series check valves and when failure of one valve in the pair can go undetected for a substantial length of time , verification of valve integrity is required . Since these valves are important in preventing over-pressurization and rupture of the ECCS low pressure piping which could result in a LOCA that bypasses containment, these valves should be tested periodically to ensure low probability of gross failure .
r-7 APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the potential for RCPB leakage is greatest when the RCS is pressurized .
In MODES 5 and 6, leakage limits are not requ ired because the reactor coolant pressure is far lower, resulting in lower stresses and reduced potentials for leakage.
ACTIONS Unidentified leakage, identified leakage (excluding primary to secondary leakage) , or controlled leakage in excess of the LCO limits must be reduced to wi thin limits within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. This completion time allows time to verify leakage rates and either identify unidentified leakage or reduce leakage to within limits before the reactor must be shut down . This action is necessary to prevent further deterioration of the RCPB.
If any pressu re boundary leakage exists or primary to secondary leakage is not within limit; or if unidentified leakage, identified leakage, or controlled leakage cannot be reduced to within limits within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, the reactor must be brought to lower pressure conditions to reduce the severity of the leakage and its potential consequences . It should be noted that leakage past seals and gaskets is not pressure boundary leakage . The reactor must be brought to 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 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. This action reduces the leakage and also reduces the factors that tend to degrade the pressure boundary. The allowed completion times are reasonable , based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems. In MODE 5, the pressure stresses acting on the RCPB are much lower, and further deterioration is much less likely.
The note that modifies ACTION c requires an evaluation of affected systems if a pressure isolation valve is inoperable. The leakage may have affected system operability or isolation of a leaking flow path with an alternate valve may have degraded the ability of the interconnected system to perform its safety function. ~ BC 07-01
3/4.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4 .6.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT 3/4.6.1 .1 CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY Primary CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the containment atmosphere will be restricted to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the safety analyses. This restriction , in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, will limit the SITE BOUNDARY radiation doses to within the dose guidelines of 10 CFR 50.67 during accident conditions .
3/4.6.1.2 CONTAINMENT LEAKAGE Primary containment OPERABILITY is maintained by limiting leakage to :,:; 1.0 La, except prior to the first startup after performing a required Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program leakage test. At this time , applicable leakage limits must be met.
The limitations on containment leakage rates ensure that the total containment leakage volume will not exceed the value assumed in the safety analyses at the peak accident pressure, Pa. As an added conservatism , the measured overall integrated leakage rate is further limited to less than or equal to 0.75 La during performance of the periodic tests to account for possible degradation of the containment leakage barriers between leakage tests .
The surveillance testing for measuring leakage rates is in accordance with the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
3/4.6.1.3 CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS The limitations on closure and leak rate for the containment ai r locks are required to meet the restrictions on CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY and containment leak rate .
Surveillance testing of the air lock seals provides assurance that the overall air lock leakage will not become excessive due to seal damage during the intervals between air lock leakage tests .
INTERNAL PRESSURE The limitations on containment internal pressure ensure that: (1) the containment str cture is prevented from exceeding its design negative pressure differential with respect to he annulus atmosphere of 3.5 psi and (2) the containment peak pressure does not e ceed the design pressure of 52 psig during LOCA conditions .
The maximum peak pressure expected to be obtained from a LOCA event is 49 .6 psig . The limit of 16.2 psia for initial positive containment pressure will limit the total pressure to 49.6 psig which is less than the design pressure and is consistent with the safety analyses.
In the event the air lock leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate , the Note directs entry into the ACTION of LCO 3.6.1.2, "Containment Leakage."

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4 .6.3 CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES (Continued)
The method of isolating a penetration with an inoperable containment isolation valve must include the use of an isolation barrier that cannot be adversely affected by a single active failure . Barriers that meet this criterion include: (1) a deactivated automatic valves secured in the isolation position, (2) a closed manual valve , and (3) a blind flange . Closed systems within containment do not meet the isolation criterion because they are vulnerable to failures. Isolating a penetration with a deactivated automatic valve may be accomplished using either the inoperable valve, if it can be verified to be fully closed , or the operable automatic valve. Manual valves and blind flanges used to isolate a penetration must be within the penetration 's ASME class boundary and qualified to ASME Class 2.

The ACTIONs are modified by two notes. The first Note ensures that appropriate remedial actions are taken , if necessary, if the affected systems are rendered inoperable by an inoperable containment isolation valve. In the event the isolation valve leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate, the second Note directs entry into the ACTION of LCO 3.6.1.2.

An automatic valve may be aligned in other than its accident position provided (1) the valve receives an automatic signal to re-position to its required position in the event of an accident, and (2) the valve is otherwise operable (stroke time within limits, motive force available to re-position the valve , control circuitry energized , and mechanically capable of re-positioning) .
3/4.7.4 SERVICE WATER SYSTEM/ULTIMATE HEAT SINK The Service Water System consists of two independent loops, each of wh ich can operate with either a service water pump train or a cooling tower pump train . Each service water loop consists of a service water pump and the piping, valves , and other components necessary to provide the flowpath required for heat removal. Each service water cooling tower loop consists of a service water cooling tower pump and the necessary piping , valves and other components required to provide its flowpath . The OPERABILITY of the Service Water System ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of safety-related equipment during normal and accident conditions . The redundant cooling capacity of this system , assuming a single failure , is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses, which also assumes loss of either the cooling tower or ocean cooling .
Cooling is normally provided by the Atlantic Ocean via the service water pumphouse.
A seismically qualified mechanical draft cooling tower is provided as a backup to the ocean cooling water source because the supply from the circulating water tunnels is not seismically qualified . The mechanical draft cooling tower was designed to use three cells to support two units. Unit 1 utilizes two train-related cells ; cell 1 serves Train A and has a single fan , the common cell serves Train B and has two fans . The cooling tower design basis is to provide the necessary ultimate heat sink in the event of a loss of ocean tunnel water flow; however, this source may be used during normal operations subject to the level and temperature limitations of th is specification .
Operability of the ultimate heat sink requires a portable cooling tower makeup system stored in its design operational readiness state. A seismic event could result in loss of the ocean supply to the service water system and reliance on operation of the cooling tower. Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.27 requires a heat sink capable of providing cooling for 30 days; however, the cooling tower basin contains sufficient water for only seven days of operation. Consequently, after seven days, the portable cooling tower makeup system provides a reliable makeup source for the cooling tower to meet the 30-day requirement.
The normal source of cooling tower makeup , potable water, is not considered since it is not designed to withstand a seismic event.
The portable cooling tower makeup system , which must be stored in a seismic location , consists of the following:
- A diesel-drive driven pump
- 3000 feet of flexible hose and associated couplings
- A suction strainer SEABROOK- UNIT 1 B 3/4 7-10 Amendment No . 32 , BC G4-00, 05-01 The ACTION is modified by a Note indicating that the applicable ACTION of LCO 3.4.1.3, "Reactor Coolant Loops and Coolant Circulation," be entered if an inoperable PCCW train results in an inoperable residual heat removal loop. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components.
PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.4 SERVICE WATER SYSTEM/ULTIMATE HEAT SINK (Continued)
Verifying the correct alignment of manual , power-operated , and automatic valves provides assurance that the proper flow paths exist for operation of the Service Water System under accident conditions . This verification includes only those valves in the direct flow paths through safety-related equipment whose position is critical to the proper functioning of the safety-related equipment. Vents , drains, sampling connections ,
instrument taps , etc., that are not directly in the flow path and are not critical to proper functioning of the safety-related equipment are excluded from this surveillance requirement.
This surveillance does not apply to valves that are locked , sealed, or otherwise secured in position because these valves are verified in their correct position prior to locking , sealing ,
or securing . Also , this requirement does not apply to valves that cannot be inadvertently misaligned , such as check valves .
An automatic valve may be aligned in other than its accident position provided (1) the valve receives an automatic signal to re-position to its required position in the event of an accident, and (2) the valve is otherwise operable (stroke time within limits, motive force available to re-position the valve , control circuitry energized , and mechanically capable of re-positioning) .

3/4.7.5 (THIS SPECIFICATION NUMBER IS NOT USED) 3/4.7.6 CONTROL ROOM SUBSYSTEMS CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY MAKEUP AIR AND FILTRATION SYSTEM (CREMAFS)
BACKGROUND The control room emergency makeup air and filtration system (CREMAFS) provides a protected environment from which occupants can control the unit following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity or smoke.
The CREMAFS consists of two independent, redundant trains that reci rculate and filter the air in the control room envelope (CRE) and a CRE boundary that limits the inleakage of unfiltered air. Each CREMAFS train consists of a prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodines) , and a fan. Ductwork, valves or dampers, doors, barriers, and instrumentation also form part of the system . A second bank of HEPA filters follows the adsorber section to collect carbon fines and provides backup in case of failure of the main HEPA filter bank.
The ACTIONs are modified by two Notes. The first Note indicates that the applicable ACTIONs of LCO 3.8.1.1 , "AC Sources - Operating ," should be entered if an inoperable service water system (SWS) train results in an inoperable diesel generator. The second Note indicates that the applicable ACTIONs of LCO 3.4.1 .3, Reactor Coolant Loops and Coolant Circulation ," should be entered if an inoperable SWS train results in an inoperable residual heat removal loop.
This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components.

LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) (continued)
The AOTs are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems .

- b. When one EOG is inoperable it is necessary to verify the availability of the offsite circuits on a more frequent basis to ensure a highly reliable power source remains . Since the required ACTION only specifies "perform ," a failure of SR 4.8.1.1.1a acceptance criteria does not result in onsite Class 1 E a required ACTION being not met. However, if a circuit fails to pass SR 4.8.1.1.1a, it is inoperable. Upon offsite circuit inoperability, additional conditions and required ACTIONs must then be entered .
ACTION b. requires performance of ACTION d., which is intended to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power, during the period that a EOG is inoperable, does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical features/systems . While in this condition (one EOG inoperable) , the remaining OPERABLE EOG and offsite circuits are adequate to supply electrical power to the Distribution System .

INSERT B 3.8.1.1.a ACTION a.2, which only applies if the train cannot be powered from an offsite source, is intended to provide assurance that an event coincident with a single failure of the associated DG will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required features. These features are powered from the redundant AC electrical power train. Since the emergency feedwater (EFW) system incudes only one motor-driven pump, the turbine-driven EFW pump is considered a required redundant feature.
The completion time (also referred to as allowed outage time (AOT)) for ACTION a.2 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the completion time "clock." In this ACTION, the completion time only begins on discovery that both:
- a. The train has no offsite power supplying it loads and
- b. A required feature on the other train is inoperable.
If at any time while one offsite circuit is inoperable a redundant required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this completion time begins to be tracked. Discovering no offsite power to one train of the onsite Class 1E Electrical Power Distribution System coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with the other train that has offsite power, results in starting the completion time for the ACTION. Twenty-four hours is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before subjecting the unit to transients associated with shutdown.
The remaining OPERABLE offsite circuit and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to Train A and Train B of the onsite Class 1E Distribution System. The 24-hour completion time takes into account the component OPERABILITY of the redundant counterpart to the inoperable required feature. Additionally, the 24-hour completion time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

Since power system redundancy is provided by two diverse sources of power, however, the reliability of the power systems in this condition may appear higher than the condition of ACTION e. (loss of both required offsite circuits) . This difference in reliability is offset by the susceptibility of this power system configuration to a single bus or switching failure .

Prior to exceeding the 72-hour AOT the SEPS must be available and an operational readiness status check performed in accordance with Technical Requirement (TR) 31 . Refer to Bases for ACTION b. for additional information and requirements.
- d. ACTION d. is intended to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power condition does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical features during the period when either an EOG is inoperable (condition addressed in ACTION b.) or when both an EOG and an offsite power source are inoperable (condition addressed in ACTION c.) at the same time . Critical features are designed with redundant safety related trains. Thus , it is necessary to verify OPERABILITY of redundant critical features in a timely manner. The term "verify ," as used in this context means to administratively check by examining logs or other information to determine if certain components are out of service for maintenance or other reasons . It does not mean to perform the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate OPERABILITY of the component.
In addition , when in MODE 1, 2, or 3, the turbine driven emergency feedwater pump must also be verified OPERABLE as well. This requirement ensures a diverse emergency feedwater supply to the steam generators should the remaining offsite and onsite power sources subsequently become inoperable.
Redundant required feature failures consist of inoperable features associated with a train, redundant to the train that has an inoperable EOG (i.e ., all required systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices dependent on the remaining OPERABLE EOG must be verified OPERABLE as well) . The emergency power supply for the required systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices may be used as the primary basis for determining the redundant features- train relationship. Features whose inoperability has been determined to impact both trains should be considered as Train A and Train B related . Manually operated features should use the same train designation as the electrically powered features in the same flowpath .

- e. ACTION &., which applies when two offsite
- uits are inoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coinci e single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6) , operation may continue with two offsite AC power sources inoperable 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 of degradation means that the offsite electrical power system does not have the capability to effect a safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of an accident; however, the onsite AC sources have not been degraded. This level of degradation 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 of deg radation may appear to be more severe than other combinations of two AC sources inoperable that involve one or more EDGs inoperable. However, two factors tend to decrease the severity of th is level of degradation :
- 1. The configuration of the redundant AC electrical power system that remains available is not susceptible to a single bus or switching failure , and
- 2. The time requ ired to detect and restore an unavailable off site power source is generally much less than that required to detect and restore an unavailable onsite AC source.
With both of the required offsite circuits inoperable, sufficient onsite AC sources are available to maintain the unit in a safe shutdown condition in the event of a OBA or transient.
In fact, a simultaneous loss of offs ite AC sources, a LOCA and a worst case si ngle failure were postulated as a part of the design basis in the safety analysis. Thus , the 24-hour AOT provides a period of time to effect restoration of one of the offsite circuits commensurate with the importance of maintaining an AC electrical power system capable of meeting its design criteria .
According to Reference 6 , with the available offsite AC sources , two less than 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 />.

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 offsite circuits inoperable based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are 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 /> is appropriate. These features are powered from redundant AC safety trains. Single train features, such as turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pumps, are not included.
The completion time for ACTION e is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the completion time "clock." In this ACTION, the completion time only begins on discovery that both:

Also, this Surveillance demonstrates that each engine can achieve proper voltage and frequency within 10 seconds then steady-state condition when the EDGs are started simultaneously. The time, voltage and frequency for the EDG to reach steady state operation is monitored and the trend evaluated to identify degradation of governor and voltage regulator performance.
The SR also requires that the EDGs must be started from standby conditions , that is, with the engine coolant and oil continuously circulated and temperature maintained consistent with manufacturer recommendations at keep-warm values .
The surveillance frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program .
MODES 5AND 6 During operation in MODEs 5 and 6, the required AC sources include one off-site circuit capable of supplying the on-site Class 1 E distribution system and an operable emergency diesel generator. These minimum AC sources ensure that (1) the unit can be maintained in the shutdown condition , (2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit, and (3) adequate AC power is available to mitigate an event postulated to occur during shutdown.
If the minimum required AC sources are not operable, the action statement requires immediately suspending core alternation , positive reactivity changes , movement of irradiated fuel, and crane operation with loads over the fuel pool. With respect to suspending positive reactivity changes , operations that individually add limited , positive reactivity are acceptable when , combined with other actions that add negative reactivity, the overall net reactivity addition is zero or negative .

LCO 3.8.3.2 would provide the appropriate restrictions for the situation involving a de-energized train.
ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.8.3 ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION (continued)
APPLICABILITY The electrical power distribution subsystems are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 to ensure that:
- Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded, and
- Adequate core cooling is provided, and containment OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained in the event of a postulated DBA.
The AC and DC electrical power distribution subsystems required to be OPERABLE in MODES 5 and 6 provide assurance that:
- Systems to provide adequate coolant inventory makeup are available for the irradiated fuel in the core ,
- Systems needed to mitigate a fuel handling accident are available,
- Systems necessary to mitigate the effects of events that can lead to core damage during shutdown are available, and
- Instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit in a cold shutdown and refueling condition .
ACTIONS MODES 1 through 4 With the OPERABLE electrical buses less than required by LCO 3.8.3.1 and without a loss of safety function , the remaining electrical power distribution subsystems are capable of supporting the minimum safety functions necessary to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition , assuming no single failure. The overall reliability is reduced , however, because a single failure in the remaining power distribution subsystems could result in the minimum required ESF functions not being supported .
When a required electrical bus is not energized , the associated loads , such as ESF components normally powered from the electrical bus , must also be declared inoperable.
ACTION a is modified by a Note that requires the applicable ACTIONS of LCO 3.8.2.1 "DC Sources -
Operating ," be entered for DC trains made inoperable by inoperable power distribution subsystems. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components. lnoperability of a distribution system can result in loss of charging power to batteries and eventual loss of DC power. This Note ensures that the appropriate attention is given to restoring charging power to batteries , if necessary, after loss of distribution systems.

O-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases jlNSERT B 3.0 .2 J (Page 18 of 193) 3/4.0 (Continued)
Specification 3.0.2 establishes that noncompliance with a specification exists when the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are NOT met and the associated ACTIOfliJ requirements have NOT been implemented within the specified time interval. The purpose of this specification is to clarify that (1) Implementation of the ACTION requirements *.vithin the specified time interval constitutes compliance with a specification , and (2) Completion of the remedial measures of the ACTION requirements is NOT required when compliance *.vith a Limiting Condition of Operation is restored within the time interval specified in the associated ACTIOfliJ requirements .
Specification 3.0.3 establishes the shutdown ACTION requirements that must be implemented when a Limiting Condition for Operation is NOT met and the condition is NOT specifically addressed by the associated ACTION requirements. The purpose of this specification is to delineate the time limits for placing the unit in a safe shutdown MODE when plant operation cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation defined by the Limiting Conditions for Operation and its ACTION requirements . It is NOT intended to be used as an operational convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of redundant systems or components from service in lieu of other alternatives that would NOT result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. One hour is allowed to prepare for an orderly shutdown before initiating a change in plant operation . This time permits the operator to coordinate the reduction in electrical generation with the load dispatcher to ensure the stability and availability of the electrical grid . The time limits specified to reach lower MODES of operation permit the shutdown to proceed in a controlled and orderly manner that is well within the specified maximum cooldown rate and within the cooldown capabilities of the facility assuming only the minimum required equipment is OPERABLE.
This reduces thermal stresses on components of the primary coolant system and the potential for a plant upset that could challenge safety systems under conditions for which this specification applies.
INSERT B 3.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the associated ACTIONS shall be met.
The completion time of each ACTION is applicable from the point in time that an ACTION is entered. The ACTIONS establish those remedial measures that must be taken within the specified completion times when the requirements of an LCO are not met. This Specification establishes that:
- a. Completion of the ACTIONS within the specified completion times constitutes compliance with a Specification, and
- b. Completion of the ACTIONS is not required when an LCO is met within the specified completion time, unless otherwise specified.
There are two basic types of ACTIONS. The first type of ACTION specifies a time limit in which the LCO must be met. This time limit is the completion time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or to restore variables to within specified limits. If this type of ACTION is not completed within the specified completion time, a shutdown may be required to place the unit in a MODE or condition in which the Specification is not applicable. (Whether stated as an ACTION or not, correction of the condition that necessitated entered the ACTION is an action that may always be considered upon entering ACTIONS.) The second type of ACTION specifies the remedial measures that permit continued operation of the unit that is not further restricted by the completion time. In this case, compliance with the ACTIONS provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation.
Completing the ACTIONS is not required when an LCO is met or is no longer applicable, unless otherwise stated in the individual Specifications.
The completion times of the ACTIONS are also applicable when a system or component is removed from service intentionally. The reasons for intentionally relying on the ACTIONS include, but are not limited to, performance of Surveillances, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, or investigation of operational problems. Entering ACTIONS for these reasons must be done in a manner that does not compromise safety. Intentional entry into ACTIONS should not be made for operational convenience. Additionally, if intentional entry into ACTIONS would result in redundant equipment being inoperable, alternatives should be used instead. Doing so limits the time both subsystems/trains of a safety function are inoperable and limits the time conditions exist which may result in LCO 3.0.3 being entered. Individual Specifications may specify a time limit for performing a Surveillance Requirement when equipment is removed from service or bypassed for testing. In this case, the completion times of the ACTIONS are applicable when this time limit expires, if the equipment remains removed from service or bypassed.
When a change in MODE or other specified condition is required to comply with ACTIONS, the unit may enter a MODE or other specified condition in which another Specification becomes applicable. In this case, the completion times of the associated ACTIONS would apply from the point in time that the new Specification becomes applicable, and the ACTIONS are entered.

O-ADM -536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 21 of 193) 3/4 .0 (Continued)
Administrative Controls, such as test procedures, ensure the time the equipment is returned to service in conflict with the ACTION requirements is limited to the time absolutely necessary to perform the required testing to demonstrate OPERABILITY. LCO 3.0.6 does NOT provide time to perform any other preventive or corrective maintenance.
An example of demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service is reopening a containment isolation valve that was closed to comply with TS action requirements . The valve must be reopened to perform the testing required to demonstrate OPERABILITY.
An example of demonstrating the OPERABILITY of other equipment is taking an inoperable channel or trip system out of the tripped condition to prevent the trip function from occurring during the performance of required testing on another channel in the other trip system .
A similar example of demonstrating OPERABILITY of the other equipment is taking an inoperable channel or trip system out of the tripped condition to permit the logic to function and indicate the appropriate response during the performance of required testing on another channel in the same trip system.
Temporarily returning inoperable equipment to service for the purpose of confirming OPERABILITY, places the plant in a condition which has been previously evaluated in the development of the current Technical Specifications and determined to be acceptable for short periods as prescribed by allowed outage times in ACTION requirements .
Performance of the surveillance/testing is considered to be a confirmatory check of that capability which demonstrates that the equipment is indeed operable in most cases . For those times when equipment, which may be temporarily returned to service under administrative controls per LCO 3.0.6, is subsequently determined to remain inoperable, the Technical Specification ACTION requirements
!INSERT B 3.0.71 continue to apply until the equipment is determined OPERABLE.
INSERT B 3.0.7 Specification 3.0.7 establishes an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for supported systems that have a support system LCO specified in the Technical Specifications (TS). This exception is provided because LCO 3.0.2 would require that the ACTIONS of the associated inoperable supported system LCO be entered solely due to the inoperability of the support system. This exception is justified because the actions that are required to ensure the unit is maintained in a safe condition are specified in the support system LCO's ACTIONS. These ACTIONS may include entering the supported system's ACTIONS or may specify other ACTIONS.
When a support system is inoperable and there is an LCO specified for it in the TS, the supported system(s) are required to be declared inoperable if determined to be inoperable as a result of the support system inoperability. However, it is not necessary to enter into the supported systems' ACTIONs unless directed to do so by the support system's ACTION. The potential confusion and inconsistency of requirements related to the entry into multiple support and supported systems' LCOs' ACTION are eliminated by providing all the actions that are necessary to ensure the unit is maintained in a safe condition in the support system's ACTIONs.
However, there are instances where a support system's ACTION may either direct a supported system to be declared inoperable or direct entry into the ACTIONs for the supported system. This may occur immediately or after some specified delay to perform some other ACTION. Regardless of whether it is immediate or after some delay, when a support system's ACTION directs a supported system to be declared inoperable or directs entry into ACTIONS for a supported system, the applicable ACTIONS shall be entered in accordance with Specification 3.0.1.
Specification 6.8.4.n, "Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)," ensures loss of safety function is detected and appropriate actions are taken. Upon entry into LCO 3.0.7, an evaluation shall be made to determine if loss of safety function exists. Additionally, other limitations, remedial actions, or compensatory actions may be identified as a result of the support system inoperability and corresponding exception to entering supported system ACTIONs. The SFDP implements the requirements ofLCO 3.0.7.
The following examples use Figure B 3.0-1 to illustrate loss of safety function conditions that may result when a TS supp ort system is inoperable. In this figure, the fifteen systems that comprise Train A are independent and redundant to the fifteen systems that comprise Train B. To correctly use the figure to illustrate the SFDP provisions for a cross train check, the figure establishes a relationship between support and supported systems as follows: the figure shows System 1 as a support system for System 2 and System 3; System 2 as a support system for Sys tem 4 and System 5; and System 4 as a support system for System 8 and System 9. Specifically, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable and:
- a. A system redundant to system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.7-1),
- b. A system redundant to system(s) in tum supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.7-2), or
- c. A system redundant to support system(s) for the supported systems (a) and (b) above is also inoperable (EXAMPLE B 3.0.7-3).
For the following examples, refer to Figure B 3.0-1.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.7-1 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable and System 5 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in Systems 5, 10, and 11.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.7-2 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 11 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in System 11.
EXAMPLE B 3.0.7-3 If System 2 of Train A is inoperable, and System 1 of Train Bis inoperable, a loss of safety function exists in Systems 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
If an evaluation determines that a loss of safety function exists, the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered.

This loss of safety function does not require the assump tion of additional single failures or loss of offsite p ower. Since operations are being restricted in accordance with the ACTIONS of the support system, any resulting temporary loss of redundancy or single failure protection is taken into account. Similarly, the ACTIONS for inoperable offsite circuit(s) and inoperable diesel generator(s) provide the necessary restriction for cross train inoperabilities. This explicit cross train verification for inoperable AC electrical power sources also acknowledges that supported system (s) are not declared inoperable solely as a result of inoperability of a normal or emergency electrical power source (refer to the definition of OPERABILITY).
When loss of safety function is determined to exist, and the SFDP requires entry into the appropriate ACTIONS of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists, consideration must be given to the sp ecific type of function affected. Where a loss of function is solely due to a single TS support system (e.g., loss of automatic start due to inoperable instrumentation, or loss of pump suction source due to low tank level), the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the support system. The ACTIONS for a support system LCO adequately address the inoperabilities of that system without reliance on entering its supported system LCO. When the loss of function is the result of multiple support systems, the appropriate LCO is the LCO for the supported system.

If any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE exists, or primary to secondary leakage is NOT within limit, the reactor must be brought to lower pressure conditions to reduce the severity of the leakage and its potential consequences.

This allowable outage time allows time to verify leakage rates and either identify UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE or reduce leakage to within limits before the reactor must be shut down. This ACTION is necessary to prevent further deterioration of the RCPB.
Action c.
The leakage from any RCS Pressure Isolation Valve is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of possible in-series valve failure . It is apparent that when pressure isolation is provided by two in-series valves and when failure of one valve in the pair can go undetected for a substantial length of time , verification of valve integrity is required.

At this point the door is still physically restrained from opening , but the seating pressure against the o-ring seal may have been reduced such that the door seal is in an untested configuration , potentially creating a leakage path . In this configuration , the door is considered closed per the Technical Specifications and would satisfy the interlock test requirements , but the overall air lock leakage requirement may have been invalidated . This configuration would result in an inoperable airlock door since the 0-ring seal was NOT properly compressed . As there is NO functional difference between an unsecured door and a leaking door (as far as maintenance of containment integrity is concerned) , the unsecured door must be considered inoperable .
3/4.6.1.4 Internal Pressure The limitations on Containment Internal Pressure ensure that: (1) The containment structure is prevented from exceeding its design negative pressure differential of 2.5 psig with respect to the outside atmosphere, and (2) The containment peak pressure does NOT exceed the design pressure of 55 psig during LOCA conditions.
3/4.6.1.5 Air Temperature The limitations on containment average air temperature ensure that the design limits for a LOCA are NOT exceeded , and that the environmental qualification of equipment is NOT impacted .

If power is reduced and the Startup Transformer and associated circuit is NOT restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days of the discovery of inoperability , the unit must be in HOT STANDBY within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. The 30% RATED THERMAL POWER limit was chosen because at this power level the decay heat and fission product production has been reduced and the operators are still able to maintain automatic control of the Feedwater Trains and other unit equipment. At lower power levels, the operators must use manual control with the Feedwater Bypass lines. By NOT requiring a complete unit shutdown, the plant avoids a cond ition requiring natural circulation
!INSERT B 3.8.1 .1.a I and avoids intentionally relying on engineered safety features for non-accident conditions .
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.a ACTION a.2, which only applies if the train cannot be powered from an offsite source, is intended to provide assurance that an event coincident with a single failure of the associated DG will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical redundant required features. These features are powered from the redundant AC electrical power train.
The completion time (also referred to as allowed outage time (AOT)) for ACTION a.2 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the completion time "clock." In this ACTION, the completion time only begins on discovery that both:
- a. The train has no offsite power supplying it loads and
- b. A required feature on the other train is inoperable.
If at any time while one offsite circuit is inoperable a redundant required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this completion time begins to be tracked. Discovering no offsite power to one train of the onsite Class lE E lectrical Power Distribution System coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with the other train that has offsite power, results in starting the completion time for the ACTION. Twenty-four hours is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before subjecting the unit to transients associated with shutdown.
The remaining OPERABLE offsite circuit and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to Train A and Train B of the onsite Class lE Distribution System. The 24-hour completion time takes into account the component OPERABILITY of the redundant counterpart to the inoperable required feature . Additionally, the 24-hour completion time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

With one startup transformer and one of the three required EDGs inoperable, TS 3.8.1.1, ACTION 'c' applies. The unit with the inoperable transformer can either reduce THERMAL POWER to less than or equal to 30% RATED THERMAL POWER within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and remain operating at reduced power until the Startup Transformer is restored to OPERABLE status provided the inoperable EOG is made OPERABLE within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, or restore the inoperable Startup Transformer to OPERABLE status within the next 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. If power is NOT reduced and the Startup Transformer is NOT restored to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of the discovery of inoperability, the unit must be in HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. TS 3.8.1.1, ACTION 'a', 'b', and 'c' apply concurrently until ACTION 'c' is exited by restoring a Startup Transformer or EOG to OPERABLE status.
Because ACTION 'c' invokes ACTION 'a' it also applies to a Startup Transformer's inoperable associated circuit. The notification of a loss of Startup Transformers to the NRC (ACTION STATEMENT 3.8.1.1.c) is NOT a 10 CFR 50.72/50.73 requirement and as such will be made for information purposes only to the NRC Operations Center via commercial lines.
Pursuant to LCO 3.0.7, the Onsite Power Distribution System ACTIONS would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, ACTION c is modified by a note to indicate that when ACTION c is entered with no AC source to any train, the ACTIONs for LCO 3.8.3.1, Onsite Power Distribution - Operating," must be immediately entered. This allows ACTION c to provide requirements for the loss of one offsite circuit and one DG, without regard to whether a train is de-energized.
LCO 3.8.3.1 provides the appropriate restrictions for a de-energized train.

O-ADM -536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 168 of 193) 3/4.8.1 , 3/4.8.2 & 3/4.8.3 (Continued)
For single unit operation (one unit in MODES 1-4 and one unit in Modes 5-6 or defueled) TS 3.8.1.1 ACTION d. refers to one of the three required Emergency Diesel Generators. For dual unit operation (both units in MODES 1-4), TS 3.8.1 .1 ACTION d. refers to one of the four required Emergency Diesel Generators. This conclusion is based on the portion of ACTION d. that states "in addition to ACTION b. or c" Since ACTIONs b.
and c. both refer to one of the required diesel generators, this implies that ACTION d. also refers to one of the required diesel generators. ACTION
- d. says "in addition to ACTION b. or c. above, .. ." therefore, ACTION d. is merely provid ing additional requirements applicable to the conditions that required satisfaction of ACTIONs b. or c.
With both Startup Transformers inoperable, the units are required to be shutdown consecutively, after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. A consecutive shutdown is used because a unit without its associated transformer must perform a natural circulation cooldown . By placing one unit in COLD SHUTDOWN jlNSERT B 3.8 .1.1.E I before starting shutdown of the second unit, a dual unit natural circulation cooldown is avoided.
The term verify means to administratively check by examining logs or other information to determine if required components are out-of-service for maintenance or other reasons . It does NOT mean to perform the surveillance requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the component.
. In accordance with Technical Specification Amendments 215/209 during MODES 1, 2, and 3, if an EOG is to be removed from service for maintenance for a period scheduled to exceed 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, the following restrictions apply:
If an EOG is unavailable, the Startup Transformer will be removed from service only for corrective maintenance, i. e., maintenance required to ensure or restore operability.
If the Startup Transformer is unavailable, an EOG will be removed from service only for corrective maintenance, i.e. , maintenance required to ensure or restore operability.
INSERT B 3.8.1.1.e ACTION e.2, which applies when two startup transformers or their associated circuits are inoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions. The completion time for this failure of redundant 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 for one train without offsite power (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 allows a completion time of24 hours for two required offsite circuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are 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 /> is appropriate. These features are powered from redundant AC safety trains. Single train features, such as turbine driven auxiliary pumps, are not included in the list.
The completion time for ACTION e.2 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This completion time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." In this ACTION, the completion time only begins on discovery that both:
- a. All required offsite circuits are inoperable and
- b. A required feature is inoperable.
If at any time while two offsite circuits are inoperable a required feature becomes inoperable, this completion time begins to be tracked.

The frequency for performing surveillance on stored fuel oil is based on stored fuel oil degradation trends which indicate that particulate concentration is unlikely to change significantly between surveillances.
The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified AC . and D.C . Power Sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that (1) The facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods, and (2) Sufficient jlNSERT B 3.8.1.2.SD I instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.
During a unit shutdown, the one required circuit between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1E Distribution System can consist of at least the associated unit startup transformer feeding one 4160 volt Bus A or B, or the opposite unit's startup transformer feeding the associated unit's 4160 volt Bus A, or the associated unit's 4160 volt Bus A or B backfed through its auxiliary transformers with the main generator isolated .
As inoperability of numerous electrical components often affects the operation of the opposite unit, the applicability for the shutdown LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) for AC . Sources, D.C.
!INSERT B 3.8.3.1 I Sources and Onsite Power Distribution all contain statements to ensure the LCOs of the opposite unit are considered .
The allowable out-of-service time for the D.C. busses is 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with one unit shutdown in order to allow for required battery maintenance without requiring both units to be shutdown . Provisions to substitute the spare battery for any one of the four station batteries have been included to allow for battery maintenance without requiring both units to be shutdown . The requirement to have only one OPERABLE battery charger associated with a required battery bank permits maintenance to be conducted on the redundant battery charger.
A battery charger may be considered acceptable when supplying less than 10 amperes provided:
- 1) The battery charger's ability to independently accept and supply the D.C. bus has been verified within the previous 7 days and ,
- 2) D.C. output voltage is ~ 129 volts.
INSE RT B 3.8.1.2 SD Pursuant to LCO 3.0.7, the Distribution System's ACTIONs would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, the ACTION in LCO 3.8.1.2, "A.C. Sources - Shutdown," is modified by a Note to indicate that when the ACTION is entered with no AC power to any required ESF bus, the ACTIONS of LCO 3.8.3.2 must be immediately entered. This Note allows the ACTION in LCO 3.8.1.2 to provide requirements for the loss of the offsite circuit, whether or not a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.3.2 would provide the appropriate restrictions for the situation involving a de-energized train.
INSERT B 3.8.3.1 LCO 3.8.3.1, ACTION a is modified by a Note that requires the applicable ACTIONS of LCO 3.8.2 "DC Sources - Operating," be entered for DC trains made inoperable by inoperable power distribution subsystems. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.7 and ensures the proper actions are taken for these components. Inoperability of a distribution system can result in loss of charging power to batteries and eventual loss of DC power. This Note ensures that the appropriate attention is given to restoring charging power to batteries, if necessary, after loss of distribution systems.
