3.2 BASES

(Cont'd)Trip setting of 100 mr/hr for the monitors in the refueling zone are based upon initiating normal ventilation isolation and SGTS operation so that none of the activity released during the refueling accident leaves the Reactor Building via the normal ventilation path but rather all the activity is processed by the SGTS.Flow integrators and sump fill rate and pump out rate timers are used to determine leakage in the drywell.A system whereby the time interval to fill a known volume will be utilized to provide a backup.An air sampling system is also provided to detect leakage inside the primary containment (See Table 3.2.E).For each parameter monitored, as listed in Table 3.2.F, there are two channels of instrumentation except as noted.By comparing readings between the two channels, a near continuous surveillance of instrument performance is available.

Any deviation in readings will initiate an early recalibration, thereby maintaining the quality of the instrument readings.A single channel of instruments at the backup control panel provides the additional indication of reactor vessel water level and reactor pressure.This indication is available to ensure safe shutdown capability from outside the control room.Instrumentation is provided for isolating the control room and initiating a pressurizing system that processes outside air before supplying it to the control room.An accident signal that isolates primary containment will also automatically isolate the control room and initiate the emergency pressurization system.In addition, there are radiation monitors in the normal ventilation system that will isolate the control room and initiate the emergency pressurization system.Activity required to cause automatic actuation is about one mRem/hr.Because of the constant surveillance and control exercised by TVA over the Tennessee Valley, flood levels of large magnitudes can be predicted in advance of their actual occurrence.

In all cases, full advantage will be taken of advance warning to take appropriate action whenever reservoir levels above normal pool are predicted; however, the plant flood protection is always in place and does not depend in any way on advanced warning.Therefore, during flood conditions, the plant will be permitted to operate until water begins to run across.;the top of the pumping station at elevation 565.Seismically qualified, redundant level switches each powered from a separate division of power are provided at the pumping station to give main control room indication of this condition.

At that time an orderly shutdown of the plant will be initiated, although surges even to a depth of several feet over the pumping station deck will not cause the loss of the main condenser circulating water pumps.BFN Unit 2 3.2/4.2-69 C r TABLE 3.5-1 MINIMUM RHRSW AND EECW PUMP ASSIGNMENT Time Limit Da s Indefinite 30 RHRSW (D)(E)(G)7 (C)(D)(E)(F)(G) 7 or 6 (D)(E)(G)6 Minimum Service Assignment EECW(B)(A)(H)(A)(C)(F)(H) 2 ox'3 (A)(H)2 (A)At least one operable pump must be assigned to each header.(B)Only automatically starting pumps may be assigned to EECW header service.(C)Nine pumps must be OPERABLE.Either configuration is acceptable:

3.5 Bases

(Cont'd)The suppression chamber can be drained when the reactor vessel pressure is atmospheric, irradiated fuel is in the reactor vessel, and work is not in progress which has the potential to drain the vessel.By requiring the fuel pool gate to be open with the vessel head removed, the combined water inventory in the fuel pool, the reactor cavity, and the separator/dryer pool, between the fuel pool low level alarm and the reactor vessel flange, is about 65,800 cubic feet (492,000 gallons).This will provide adequate low-pressure cooling in lieu of CSS and RHR (LPCI and containment cooling mode)as currently required in Specifications 3.5.A.4 and 3.S.B.9.The additional requirements for providing standby coolant supply available will ensure a redundant supply of coolant supply.Control rod drive maintenance may continue during this period provided no more than one drive is removed at a time unless blind flanges are installed during the period of time CRDs'are not in place.Should the capability for providing flow through the cross-connect lines be lost, a 10-day repair time is allowed before shutdown is required.This repair time is justified based on the very small probability for ever needing RHR pumps and heat exchangers to supply an adjacent unit.REFERENCES 1.Residual Heat Removal System (BFNP FSAR subsection 4.8)2.Core Standby Cooling Systems (BFNP FSAR Section 6)3.5.C.RHR Service Water S stem and Emer enc E ui ment Coo n Water S stem EECWS There are two EECW headers (north and south)with four automatic starting RHRSW pumps on each header.All components requiring emergency cooling water are fed from both headers thus assuring continuity of operation if either header is operable.Each header alone can handle the flows to all components.

Two RHRSW pumps can supply the full flow requirements of all essential EECW loads for any abnormal or postaccident situation.

In fire areas 9, 16 and 18 and fire zones 2-lp 2 2p 2 3p 2 4p 2-5, and 2-6, a postulated fire could result in only two EECW pumps being available that are required by the plant Appendix R evaluation.

If one of these.two remaining EECW pumps was the one allowed by the technical specifications to be indefinitely out of service, then the required two EECW pumps for safe shutdown would not be available.

If one of the required EECW pumps is out of service, a hourly patrolling fire watch will be established in the appropriate fire area/zones as a compensatory measure.For a fire in any other areas/zones of the plant, adequate RHRSW swing/EECW pumps are available to supply necessary cooling water to the diesel generators, even if one of the EECW pumps is out of service.BFN Unit 2 3.5/4.5-26 Ijh 3.5 BASES (Cont'd)There are four RHR heat exchanger headers (A, B, C, 8 D)with one RHR heat exch'anger.

from each unit on each header.~There are two RHRSW pumps.on each header;one normally assigned to each header (A2,-B2, C2, or D2)and one on alternate assignment-(A1, Bl, Cl, or Dl).One RHR h'eat exchanger header can adequat'ely deliver~the" flow supplied by both RHRSW pumps to any two of the three RHRSW heat exchangers on the header;One RHRSW pump can'upply the full flow requirement of one RHR heat exchanger.

Two,RHR exchangers can more than adequately handle the cooling requirements of one unit in any abnormal or postaccident situation.

~'The RHR Service Water, System was designed as a shared system for three units.The specification, as written, is conservative when consideration is given to particular pumps being out of service and to possible valving arrangements.

If unusual operating conditions arise such that more pumps are out of service than allowed by this specification, a special case request may be made to the NRC to allow continued operation if the actual system cooling requirements can be assured.ll Should three of the four RHRSW pumps normally or alternately assigned to the RHR heat exchanger headers supplying the standby coolant supply connection become inoperable, capability for long-term fluid makeup to the unit reactor and for cooling of the unit containment remains operable.Because of the availability of makeup and cooling capability which is demonstrated to be operable immediately and with specified subsequent surveillance, a 30-day repair period is justified.

Unit 2 may be supplied standby coolant from either of four pumps-Bl, B2, Dl, or D2.Should the capability to provide standby coolant supply be lost, a 10-day repair time is justified based on the low probability for ever needing the standby coolant supply.The plant Appendix R evaluation requires that either RHRSW pump Cl or D2 be available, however both pumps are required to be operable to ensure the one required RHRSW pump is available for a specific fire location.If one of the two required RHRSW pumps is out of service, a hourly patrolling fire watch will be established in the appropriate fire areas/zones as a compensatory measure.3.5.D E ui ment Area Coo ers II There is an equipment area cooler for each RHR pump and an equipment area cooler for each set (two pumps, either the A and C or B and D pumps)of core spray pumps.The equipment area coolers take suction near the cooling air discharge of the motor of the pump(s)served and discharge air near the cooling air suction of the motor of the pump(s)served.This ensures that cool air is supplied for cooling the pump motors.BFN Unit 2 3.5/4.5-27 tg ,pl~~

(Cont'd)The equipment area coolers also remove the pump, and equipment waste heat from the basement rooms housing the engineered safeguard equipment.

The various conditions under which the operation of the equipment air coolers is required have been identified by evaluating the normal and abnormal operating transients and accidents over the full range of planned operations.

The surveillance and testing of the equipment area coolers in each of their various modes is accomplished during the testing of the equipment served by, these coolers.This testing is adequate to assure the operability of the equipment area coolers.REFERENCES 1.Residual Heat Removal System (BFNP FSAR paragraphs 4.8.9.1 and 4.8.9.2)2.Core Standby Cooling System (BFNP FSAR subsection 6.7)3.S.E.Hi h Pressu e Coolant In ection S stem PCXS The HPCIS is provided to assure that the reactor core is adequately cooled to limit fuel clad temperature in the event of a small break in the nuclear system and loss of coolant which does not result in rapid depressurization of the reactor vessel.The HPCIS permits the reactor to be shut down while maintaining sufficient reactor vessel water level inventory until the vessel is depressurized.

The HPCIS continues to operate until reactor vessel pressure is below the pressure at which LPCI operation or core spray system operation maintains core cooling.The capacity of the system is selected to provide this required core cooling.The HPCI pump is designed to pump 5,000 gpm at reactor pressures between 1,120 and 150 psig.Two sources of water are available.

Initially, water from the condensate storage tank is used instead of injecting water from the suppression pool into the reactor.When the HPCI System begins operation, the reactor depressurizes more rapidly than would occur if HPCI was not initiated due to the condensation of steam by the cold fluid pumped into the reactor vessel by the HPCI system.As the reactor vessel pressure continues to decrease, the HPCI flow momentarily reaches equilibrium with the flow through the break.Continued depressurization caused the break flow to decrease below the HPCI flow and the liquid inventory begins to rise.This.type, of response.is, typical.af the small breaks., The core never uncovers and is continuously cooled throughout the transient so that no core damage of any kind occurs for breaks that lie within the capacity range of the HPCI.The minimum required NPSH for HPCI is 21 feet.There is adequate elevation head between the suppression pool and the HPCI pump, such that the required NPSH is available with a suppression pool temperature up to 1404F with no containment back pressure.BFN Unit 2 3.5/4.5-28

It is realized that the HPCI is not designed to operate at full capacity until'eactor pressure exceeds 150 psig and the steam supply to the HPCI turbine is automatically isolated before the reactor pressure decreases below 100 psig.It is the intent of this specification to assure that when the reactor is being started up from a Cold Condition, the HPCI is not known to be inoperable.

3.5.F Reactor Core Iso ation Cool n S stem RCICS CI S The various conditions under which the RCICS plays an essential role in providing makeup water.to the>reactor vessel have.been identified, by evaluating-the various'plant events over the full range of planned operations.

The specifications ensure that the function for which the RCICS was designed will be available when needed.The minimum required NPSH for RCIC is 20 feet.There is adequate elevation head between the suppression pool and the RCIC pump, such that the required NPSH is available with a suppression pool temperature up to 140'F with no containment back pressure.Because the low-pressure cooling systems (LPCI and core spray)are capable of providing all the cooling required for any plant event when nuclear system pressure is below 122 psig, the RCICS is not required below this pressure.Between.122 psig and 150.psig the RCICS need not provide its design flow, but reduced flow is required for certain events.RCICS design flow (600 gpm)is sufficient to maintain water level above the top of the active fuel for a complete loss of feedwater flow at design power (105 percent of rated)..~s~~=II (1 e ss li Consideration of.the availability of the RCICS reveals that the average risk-associated with failure of the RCICS to cool the core when r'equired is not increased if the RCICS is inoperable for no longer than seven days, provided that the HPCIS is operable during this period.REFERENCE 1.Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System (BFNP FSAR Subsection 4.7)3.5.G Automatic De ressurization S stem ADS~I This specification ensures the operability of the ADS under all conditions for which the depressurization of the nuclear system is an essential response to station abnormalities.

>2'j h, t 6 3.6/4.6 6~3.6.D/4.6.D (Cont'd)el I The requirements established above apply when the nuclear, system canj be pressurized above ambientPconditions.

These requirements-are.applicable at nuclear: system pressures below normal operating pressures because abnormal openational transients could possibly start at these,conditions such that eventual overpressure relief would be needed.However, these transients are much less severe, in terms of pressure, than those starting at rated conditions.

The valves need>not be functional when the vessel head is, removed, since the nuclear system cannot be pressurized.

e In fire area 9 and fire zones 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4, a postulated,fire could potentially disable all but three MSRVs.If one of these three MSRVs was the MSRV,allowed by the technical specifications,to be indefinitely out of service, then the required number of three MSRVs for safe shutdown would not be>available.

If one of the required MSRVs is out of service, an hourly patrolling fire watch will be established in the appropriate fire areas/zones ps a compensatory measure.For a fire in any other fire areas/zones of the plant, at least four MSRVs.would be available.

Thus, even if one MSRV is out of service, the required number of three MSRVs would remain available for safe shutdown.e REFERENCES 1.Nuclear System Pressure Relief System (BFNP FSAR Subsection 4.4)I 2.=Amendment 22 in response to AEC Question 4.2 of December 6, 1971.3."Protection Against Overpressure" (ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Article 9)4.Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Design Deficiency Report-Target Rock Safety-Relief Valves, transmitted by J.E.Gilleland to F.E.Kruesi, August 29, 1973 5.Generic Reload Fuel Application, Licensing Topical Report, NEDE-24011-P-A and Addenda 3.6.E/6.6.E

~Jet Pum e Failure of a jet pump nozzle assembly holddown mechanism, nozzle assembly and/or riser, would increase the cross-sectional flow area for blowdown following.the design basis double-ended line break.Also, failure of the diffuser would eliminate the capability to reflood the core to two-thirds height level following a recirculation line break.Therefore, if a failure occurred, repairs must be made.The detection technique is as follows.With the two recirculation pumps balanced in speed to within g 5 percent, the flow rates in both recirculation loops will be verified by control room monitoring instruments.

If the two flow rate values do not differ by more than 10 percent, riser and nozzle assembly integrity has been verified.BFN Unit 2 3.6/4.6-31 4 t f I.h S.6/4.6 gASES 3.6.E/4.6.E (Cont'd)If they do differ by 10 percent or more~the core flow rate measured by the jet pump diffuser differential pressure system must be checked against the core flow rate derived from the measured values of loop flow to core flow correlation.

If the difference between measured and derived core flow rate is 10 percent or more (with the derived value higher)diffuser measurements will be taken to define the location within the vessel of failed jet pump nozzle (or riser)and the unit shut down for repairs.If the potential blowdown flow area is increased, the system resistance to the recirculation pump is also reduced;hence, the affected drive pump will"run out" to a substantially higher flow rate (approximately 115 percent to 120 percent for a single nozzle failure).If the two loops are balanced in flow at the same pump speed, the resistance characteristics cannot have changed.Any imbalance between drive loop flow rates would be indicated by the plant process instrumentation.

In addition, the affected jet pump would provide a leakage path past the core thus reducing the core flow rate.The reverse flow through the inactive jet pump would still be indicated by a positive differential pressure but the net effect would be a slight decrease (3 percent to 6 percent)in the total core flow measured.This decrease, together with the loop flow increase, would result in a lack of correlation between measured and derived core flow rate.Finally, the affected jet pump diffuser differential pressure signal would be reduced because the backflow would be less than the normal forward flow.A nozzle-riser system failure could also generate the coincident failure of a jet pump diffuser body;however, the converse is not true.The lack of any substantial stress in the jet pump diffuser body makes failure impossible without an initial nozzle-riser system failure.3.6.F/4.6.F Recirculation Pum 0 erat on Steady-state operation without forced recirculation will not be permitted for more than 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months .And the start of a recirculation pump from the natural circulation condition will not be permitted unless the temperature difference between the loop to be started and the core coolant temperature is less than 75 F.This reduces the positive reactivity insertion to an acceptably low value, Requiring the discharge valve of the lower speed loop to remain closed until the speed of the faster pump is below 50%of its rated speed provides assurance when going from one-to-two pump operation that excessive vibration of the jet pump risers will not occur.3.6.G/4.6.G Structural Inte rit The requirements for the reactor coolant systems inservice inspection program have been identified by evaluating the need for a sampling~examination of areas of high stress and highest probability of failure in the system and the need to meet as closely as possible the requirements of Section XI, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.BFN Unit 3.6/4.6-32 i ,i 7J, 3~.6/4.6 BASES'.6.G/4.6.G'Cont'd)'he<<prqgram

3.9 BASES

The objective of this specification is to assure an adequate source oE electeical power.to operate facilities 4o cool the plant dueing shutdown, to operate the engineered safeguards following an accident, and to being the plant to cold shutdown for a Eire at any location.There are theee sources oE altenlating current electrical enox;gy available, namely, the 161-kV teansmission system, the 500-kV transmission system, and the diesel generatoes.

For a fire, units 1 and 2 and unit 3 diesel goneeators and associated electrical disteibution systems are required to he available in various combinations to ensure adequate power to safe shutdown systems.The plant Appendix R evaluation establishes the need Eoe certain units 1 and 3 auxiliary powex.systems to achieve and maintain cold shutdown on unit 2.For this reason, these required systems have been added to the unit 2 technical specifications with allowed inoperable pex..iods which are identical to the existing unit 1 and 3 technical specifications.

The unit station-service transformer B for unit 1 or the unit station-service transformer B for unit 2 provide nonintereuptible souecos ot offsite power from the 500-kV teansmission system to the units 1 and 2-hutdown boards.Auxiliary power can also be supplied from the 161-kV transmission system through the common station-sex.vice transformers or through the cooling tower transformers by way of the bus tie hoard.The 4-kV bus tie board may x;emain out of service indefinitoly provided one of the required offsite power soueces is not supplied from the 161-kV system through the hus tie hoard.For a Eire, the 4-kV bus tie board is used to cross-tie the units 1 and 2 and unit 3 4-kV shutdown boaeds so that power from unit 3 diesel generators can be provided to unit 2 for various fixe locations.

As previously stated, the 4-kV bus tie board may ho out of service indeEinitely provided the requix;ed offsite power sources are available.

However, the plant Appendix R evaluation requix.es that the 4-kV bus tio board cross-tie capability ho available at all times.If the 4-kV bus tie boaxd is unavailable for cross-tying, an hourly patrolling fix.e watch is requieed to be established in fice zones 2-3 and 2-4.The minimum fuel oil requirement of 103,300 gallons is sufficient for seven days of full load operation oE three units 1 and 2 diesols and is conservatively based on availahility of a replenishment supply.An identical requix.oment is provided for the unit 3 diesols.~-.-.The degraded voltage sensing"relays provide a"start'signal to'he diesel generator:s in the event that a deteriorated voltage condition exists on a 4-kV shutdown hoard.This starting signal is indepondent of the starting signal genexated by the complete loss of voltage rolays and will continue to function and start tho diesel generator:s on complete loss of voltage should tho loss of voltage relays become inoporablo.

The 15-day inoperable time limit specified when one of the theoe phaso-to-phaso degraded voltage x.'clays is inopoeahlo is justified based an tho two-out-of-three pennissivo logic scheme provided with those relays.SFH 1Jnit 2 3.9/4.9-17 c(.

0 3.9 BASES (Cont'd)A units 1 and 2 4-kV shutdown board is allowed to be out of operation for a brief period to allow for maintenance and testing, provided all remaining units 1 and 2 4-kV shutdown boards and associated diesel generators, CS, RHR, (LPCI and containment cooling)systems supplied by the remaining units 1 and 2 4-kV shutdown boards, and all emergency 480-V power boards are operable.A unit 3 4-kV shutdown board is allowed to be out of operation for a brief period to allow for maintenance and testing.There are eight 250-V dc battery systems, each of which consists of a battery, battery charger, and distribution equipment.

Three of these systems provide power for unit control functions, operative power for unit motor loads, and alternative drive power for a 115-V ac unit-preferred mg set.One 250-V dc system provides power for common plant and transmission system control functions, drive power for a 115-V ac plant-preferred mg set, and emergency drive power for certain unit large motor loads.The four remaining systems deliver control power to the 4,160-V shutdown boards.Each 250-V dc shutdown board control power supply can receive power from its own battery, battery charger, or from a spare charger.The chargers are powered from normal plant auxiliary power or from the standby diesel-driven generator system.Zero resistance short circuits between the control power supply and the shutdown board are cleared by fuses.located in the respective control power supply.Each power supply is located in the reactor building near the shutdown board it supplies.Each battery is located in its own independently ventilated battery, room.The 250-V dc system is so arranged, and the batteries sized so that the loss of any one unit battery will not prevent the safe shutdown and cooldown of all three units in the event of the loss of offsite power and a design basis accident in any one unit.Loss of control power to any engineered safeguard control circuits is annunciated in the main control room of the unit affected.The loss of one 250-V shutdown board battery affects normal control power only for the 4,160-V shutdown board which it supplies.The station battery supplies loads that are not essential for safe shutdown and cooldown of the nuclear system.This battery was not considered in the accident load calculations.

There are two 480-V ac RMOV boards that contain mg sets in their feeder lines.These 480-V ac RMOV boards have an automatic transfer from their normal to alternate power source (480-V ac shutdown boards).The mg sets'act as electrical isolators to prevent a fault from propagating between electrical divisions due to an automatic transfer.The 480-V ac RMOV boards involved provide motive power to valves associated with the LPCI mode of the RHR system.Having an mg set out of service reduces the assurance that full RHR (LPCI)capacity will be available when required.Since sufficient equipment is available to maintain the minimum complement required for RHR (LPCI)operation, a 7-day servicing period is justified.

Having two mg sets out of service can considerably reduce equipment availability; therefore, the affected unit shall be BFN Unit 2 3.9/4.9-18 II W~'I V~'

placed in Cold Shutdown within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months .480-V RMOV Board 2C is required to be operable since it is used to supply power for specific fire locations.

If 480-V RMOV Board 2C becomes inoperable, an hourly patrolling fire watch is required to be established in fire zones 2-5 and 2-6.The offsite power source requirements are based on the capacity of the respective lines.The Trinity line is limited to supplying two operating units because of the load limitations of CSST's A and B.The Athens line is limited to supplying one operating unit because of the load limitations of the Athens line.The limiting conditions are intended to prevent the 161-kV system from supplying more than two units in the event of a single failure in the offsite power system.The monthly tests of the diesel generators are primarily to check for failures and deterioration in the system since last use.The diesels will be loaded to at least 75 percent of rated power while engine and generator temperatures are stabilized (about one hour).The minimum 75-percent load will prevent soot formation in the cylinders and injection nozzles.Operation up to an equilibrium temperature ensures that there is no overheating problem.The tests also provide an engine and generator operating history to be compared with subsequent engine-generator test data to identify and to correct any mechanical or electrical deficiency before it can result in a system failure.The test during refueling outages is more comprehensive, including procedures that are most effectively conducted at that time.These include automatic actuation and functional capability tests to verify that the generators can start and be ready to assume load in 10 seconds.The annual inspection will detect any signs of wear long before failure.The diesel generators are shared by units 1 and 2.Therefore, the capability for the units 1 and 2 diesel generators to accept the emergency loads will be performed during the unit 1 operating cycle using the unit 1 loads.Battery maintenance with regard to the floating charge, equalizing charge, and electrolyte level will be based on the manufacturer's instruction and sound maintenance practices.

In addition, written records will be maintained of the battery performance.

The plant batteries will deteriorate with time but precipitous failure is unlikely.The type of surveillance called for in this specification is that which has been demonstrated through experience to provide an-indication of a cell.becoming irregular or unserviceable long before it becomes a failure.The equalizing charge, as recommended by the manufacturer, is vital to maintaining the ampere-hour capacity of the battery, and will be applied as recommended.

4.9 BASES

The testing of the logic systems will verify the ability of the logic systems to bring the auxiliary electrical system to running standby readiness with the presence of an accident signal from any reactor or an undervoltage signal on the 4-kV shutdown boards.The periodic simulation of accident signals in conjunction with diesel-generator voltage available signals will confirm the ability of the 480-V load shedding logic system to sequentially shed and restart 480-V loads if an accident signal were present and diesel-generator voltage were the only source of electrical power.The unit 3 diesel generators and associated electrical distribution systems requirements for operability and surveillance are identical to the existing unit 3 technical specifications.

However, if a unit 3 diesel generator or associated electrical distribution system becomes inoperable, no additional surveillance is required.Since the Appendix R shutdown equipment powered by the remaining unit 3 power sources are not redundant to the inoperable equipment, additional testing would not improve the reliability of the power supplies for a specific fire location.REFERE CES 1.Normal Auxiliary Power System (BFNP FSAR Subsection 8.4)2.Standby AC Power Supply and Distribution (BFNP FSAR Subsection 8.5)3.250-Volt DC Power Supply and Distribution (BFNP FSAR Subsection 8.6)4.Memorandum from Gene M.Wilhoite to H.J.Green dated December 4, 1981 (LOO 811208 664)and memorandum from C.E.Winn to H.J.Green dated January 10, 1983 (G02 830112 002)BFN Unit 2 3.9/4.9-20

(, hi l t" ENCLOSURE 2 DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN)UNIT 2 Descri tion o Chan e BFN Unit 2 Technical Specifications are being revised'o include additional unit 2 equipment not presently required to be operable and unit 1 and 3 equipment needed for unit 2 safe shutdown.See the attached technical specification markups for proposed changes.Reason for Chan e In accordance with 10 CFR 50.48 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, adequate protection of equipment is required to ensure the safe shutdown of a nuclear plant in the event of a fire at any location in the plant.In addition, Generic Letter 81-12,"Fire Protection Rule,"-requested that"Technical Specifications of the surveillance requirements and limiting conditions for operation for that equipment not already covered by existing Technical Specifications" be provided.The proposed changes are being made to address the limiting conditions with respect to the plant, equipment which is being utilized for postfire shutdown of unit 2.Justification for Chan e A plant Appendix R evaluation was performed for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3, to ensure that safe shutdown capability can be maintained during and after a fire in compliance with section III.G, III.J, and III.L of Appendix R.The Appendix R evaluation identified the minimum systems required to be operable for postfire safe shutdown and the modifications that were necessary to ensure the operability of the minimum systems.The plant Appendix R evaluation was performed assuming concurrent operation of the three Browns Ferry units and did not factor in the unavailability of equipment because of possible outage of a unit.A supplemental evaluation was also performed for only unit 2 operating.

As a result, the safe shutdown capability of unit 2 depends upon equipment not directly covered in the existing technical specifications for unit 2.The existing unit 2 technical specifications for the main steam relief valves (MSRVs), residual heat removal service water (RHRSW)pumps, and emergency equipment cooling water (EECW)pumps do not provide sufficient equipment operability for all postulated Appendix R events.Unit 2 safe shutdown capability also relies upon-portions of the unit-1'and'-auxiliary power systems, including the unit 3 diesel generators, which are not directly included in the unit 2 technical specifications.

Also, the reactor water level and reactor vessel pressure instrumentation at the backup control panel as identified in the plant Appendix R evaluation do not currently have any technical specification operability requirements.

HSRVs-The existing unit 2 technical specifications Eor the HSRVs permit indefinite plant operation with one relief valve inoperable.

The plant Appendix R evaluation assessed the availability of HSRVs to ensure that three HSRVs are available for any given Eire location for safe shutdown.In fire area 9 and fire zones 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4, a postulated fire could result in only three HSRVs being available.

If one of these three MSRVs was the one currently allowed by the technical specification to be indefinitely out of service, the required number of MSRVs (three)for safe shutdown during a fire would not be available.

An hourly patrolling fire watch will be established in the appropriate Eire areaslzones as a compensatory measure if one of the required HSRVs is out of service.For a fire in any other areas/zones of the plant, at least four HSRVs would be available.

Thus, even if one were out of service, the required number of three MSRVs would still be available for safe shutdown.The proposed technical specifications ensure a safe shutdown capability and provide a compensatory measure during plant operations with an inoperable HSRV.Establishing a patrolling fire watch within one hour is intended to observe hazardous conditions which are not normally detected by installed fire protection ystems.These conditions include activities by plant personnel that could increase the hazards of a fire.They also include conditions likely to lead to a fire, such as spills of flammable liquids or the presence of ignition sources, and accumulations of transient combustible materials.

The patrolling fire watch is intended to provide prompt notification of a fire and to provide fire fighting activities until the fire brigade responds.The patrolling fire watch provides assurances that the existence of unsafe or fire conditions would be minimized.

Auxiliar Power S stem-The existing unit 2 technical specifications for the auxiliary power system require the operability of the units 1 and 2 diesel generators and associated auxiliary power distribution systems.The associated auxiliary power distribution systems includes 4-kV and 480V shutdown boards, 480V reactor motor-operated valve (RMOV)boards, 250V unit batteries and associated chargors and boards.The auxiliary powor system is required to provide a postfire power source Eor the plant equipmont.

The plant Appendix R evaluation assumed the availability oE the units 1 and 2 diesel generators, unit 3 diesel generators, and associated power distribution systems-The plant Appendix R evaluation assumed the 4-kV bus tie board cross-tie capability to be available at all times to cross-tie unit, 1 and 2 and unit, 3 4kV shutdown boards.Additionally, since 480V RMOV board 2C supplies power to valves which are operated during a fire, this board has also been added to the technical specifications.

The proposed changes are to-.transfer the appropriate sections of the unit 1 and unit, 3 technical specifications Eor the auxiliary power system to the unit 2 technical specification.

Presently some oE the unit 3 equipment is indirectly included I t IV le rk I in the unit 2 technical specifications through the definition of operability (e.g., a unit 3 diesel is required to be available to power an EECW pump required Eor unit 2 operation).

The proposed changes explicitly add the unit 1 and 3 auxiliary power systems which are required to be operable for postfire safe shutdown to the unit 2 technical specifications.

The unit 1 and 3 technical specifications are not aEfected by this change.The shutdown requirements for inoperable unit 1 and 3auxiliary power system components are identical to the existing unit 2 requirements.

If the 4-kV bus tie board or 480-V RNOV board 2C is inoperable, a patrolling Eire watch is established in fire zones 2-3 and 2-4 or zones 2-5 and 2-6, respectively.

The previous discussion under MSRVs provides justification Eor patrolling Eire watches.The unit 3 diesel generators and associated electrical distribution systems requirements for operability and surveillance are identical to the existing unit 3 technical specifications.

However, iE a unit 3 diesel generator or associated electrical distribution systems becomes inoperable, no additional surveillance is required.Since the remaining unit 3 diesel generators do not supply power to the required shutdown equipment powered by the inoperable diesel generator, additional testing would not improve the reliability of the power supplies Eor the established Appendix R events.The proposed technical specifications ensure adequate emergency power for postfire saEe shutdown and provide a compensatory measure during plant operations with inoperable equipment.

Reactor Vessel Instrumentation

-The existing unit 2 technical specifications (table 3.2.P)for.instruments require the operation of reactor vessel water level and reactor pressure indication in the control room.The plant Appendix R evaluation assumed that the reactor vessel water level and pressure indicators on the backup control panel were also available for fires in the control bay that could force plant operators to abandon the main control room.The proposed technical specifications ensure a safe shutdown capability and provide a compensatory measure during plant operation with the backup control panel instruments inoperable.

The compensatory measure of the patrolling fire watch provides assurances that the existence of unsaEe or Eire conditions would be be minimized.

The previous discussion under HSRVs provides justification for patrolling Eire watches.A surveillance requirement for these instruments on the backup panel is added which is identical to the requirement for the instruments in tho control room.

l a J'I V IJ~1 Ll RSW a d ECW S stems-The existing unit 2 technical specifications for the RHRSW and EECW pumps permit indefinite plant..operation with one RHRSW and one EECW pump inoperable when three units are operating.

The number of RHRSW pumps required to be operable is further reduced with units 1 and 3 in a cold shutdown condition or defueled.The plant Appendix R evaluation assumed the availability of all four EECW pumps.In fire areas 9, 16, and 18, and fire zones 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6, a postulatedfire could result in only two EECW pumps being available that are requir'ed by the plant Appendix R evaluation.

If one of these two EECW pumps was the one currently allowed by the technical specifications to be indefinitely out of service, then the required two EECW pumps for safe shutdown would not be available.

For a fire in any other areas/zones of the plant, adequate RHRSW swing/EECW pumps are available to supply necessary cooling water to the diesel generators even if one of the EECW pumps is out of service.The plant Appendix R evaluation required that either RHRSW pumps Cl or D2 be available, however both pumps are required to be operable to ensure the one required RHRSW pump is available for a specific fire location.If one of the two required RHRSW pumps is out of service, an hourly patrolling fire watch will be established in the appropriate fire areas/zones as a compensatory measure.For postulated fires in any other areas of the plant (i.e., other than 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 9, 16, 18), one train of equipment needed to achieve and maintain hot shutdown will be free of fire damage through fire area boundary separation.

In those cases where hot shutdown is assured and alternate shutdown is not required, plant operating instructions (e.g., EOIs)will be used to complete the cooldown process.The plant Appendix R evaluation for Unit 2 operation further identified equipment which can be used to reach cold shutdown without repair.With hot shutdown assured, adequate time is available for the operators to perform necessary actions using symptom oriented procedures (e.g., EOIs)to ensure that there are adequate RHRSW and EECW pumps available to achieve cold shutdown.This will provide the flexibility to align equipment which may be operable but not necessarily a preselected shutdown path.The proposed technical specifications ensure a safe shutdown capability by providing a compensatory measure during plant operation with inoperable RHRSW and EECW pumps.The compensatory measure of the patrolling fire watch provides assurances that the existence of unsafe or fire conditions would be minimized.

The previous discussion under MSRVs provides justification for patrolling fire watches.

ENCLOSURE 3 BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION UNIT 2 Descri tion of Amendment Re uest The proposed amendment would change the technical specifications of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 2 by revising the limiting conditions for operation, the surveillance requirements, and periodicity for equipment required for Appendix R safe shutdown.Basis or Pro osed No Si nificant Hazards Consideration Determination NRC has provided standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists as stated in 10 CFR 50.92(c).A proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards considerations if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1)involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident, previously evaluated, (2)create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from an accident previously evaluated, or (3)involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.1.The proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed amendment.

does not alter the function or the testing of any equipment or systems previously analyzed in the BFN Final Safety Analysis Report, but provides additional equipment operability requirements to support the safe shutdown of the plant for a fire event.2.The proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from an accident previously evaluated.

This proposed change is still within the bounds of the design of the systems.Equipment previously covered by units 1 and 3 technical specifications are incorporated into the unit 2 technical specifications to ensure availability to support unit 2 safe shutdown during a fire for periods when units 1 and 3 may be shutdown.3.The proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction.

in the margin of safety.The proposed change ensures a safe shutdown capability for a fire at any location in the plant.It does not alter the safety function of the involved equipment.

Determination of Basis for Pro osed No Si nificant Hazards Since the application for amendment involves a proposed change that is encompassed by the criteria for which no significant hazards consideration exists, TVA has made a proposed determination that the application involves no significant hazards consideration.

(Cont'd)The nuclear system pressure relief system provides automatic nuclear system depressurization for small breaks in the nuclear system so that the low-pressure coolant injection (LPCI)and the core spray subsystems can operate to protect the fuel barrier.Note that this specification applies only to the automatic feature of the pressure relief system.Specification 3.6.D specifies the requirements for the pressure relief function of the valves.It is possible for any number of the valves assigned to the ADS to be incapable of performing their ADS functions because of instrumentation failures yet be fully capable of performing their pressure relief function.Because the automatic depressurization system does not provide makeup to the reactor primary vessel, no credit is taken for the steam cooling of the core caused by the system actuation to provide further conservatism to the CSCS.With two ADS valves known to be incapable of automatic operation, four valves remain operable to perform their ADS function.The ECCS loss-of-coolant accident analyses for small line breaks assumed that four of the six ADS valves were operable.Reactor operation with three ADS valves inoperable is allowed to continue for seven days provided that the HPCI system is demonstrated to be operable.Operation with more than three of the six ADS valves inoperable is not acceptable.

3.5,H.Maintenance of Filled Dischar e Pi e If the discharge piping of the core spray, LPCI, HPCIS, and RCICS are not filled, a water hammer can develop in this piping when the pump and/or pumps are started.To minimize damage to the discharge piping and to ensure added margin in the operation of these systems, this Technical Specification requires the discharge lines to be filled whenever the system is in an operable condition.

If a discharge pipe is not filled, the pumps that supply that line must be assumed to be inoperable for Technical Specification purposes.The core spray and RHR system discharge piping highpoint vent is visually checked for water flow once a month prior to testing to ensure that the lines are filled.The visual checking will avoid starting the core spray or RHR system with a discharge line.not filled.In addition to the visual observation and to ensure a filled discharge line other than prior to testing, a pressure suppression chamber head tank is-located approximately 20 feet above the discharge line highpoint to supply makeup water for these systems.The condensate head tank located approximately 100 feet above the discharge highpoint serves as a backup charging system when the pressure suppression chamber head tank is not in service.System discharge pressure indicators are used to determine the water level above the discharge line highpoint.

The indicators will reflect approximately 30 psig for a water level at the highpoint and 45 psig for a water level in the pressure suppression chamber head tank and are monitored daily to ensure that the discharge lines are filled.BFN Unit 2 3.5/4.5-30

)g I~3,5 BASES (Cont'd)3.5.I.When in their normal standby condition, the suction for the HPCI and RCIC pumps are aligned to the condensate storage tank, which is physically at a higher elevation than the HPCIS and RCICS piping.This assures that the HpCIand RCIC discharge piping remains filled.Further assurance is provided by observing water flow from these systems'ighpoints monthly.Maximum Avera e Plana Linear Heat Generation Rate MAPLHGR This specification assures that the peak cladding temperature following the postulated design basis loss-of-coolant accident will not exceed the limit specified in the 10 CFR 50, Appendix K.The peak cladding temperature following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident is primarily a function of the average heat generation rate of all the rods of a fuel assembly at any axial location and is only dependent secondarily on the rod-to-rod power distribution within an assembly.Since expected.local variations in power distribution within a fuel assembly affect the calculated peak clad temperature by less than+20 F relative to the peak temperature for a typical fuel design, the limit on the average linear heat generation rate is sufficient to assure that calculated temperatures are within the 10 CFR 50 Appendix K limit.The limiting value for MAPLHGR is shown in Tables 3.5.I-l and-2.The analyses supporting these limiting values are presented in Reference l.3.5.J.Linear Heat Generation Rate LHGR This specification assures that the linear heat generation rate in any rod is less than the design linear heat generation if fuel pellet densification is postulated.

The LHGR shall be checked daily during reactor operation at g 25 percent power to determine if fuel burnup, or control rod movement has caused changes in power distribution.

For LHGR to be a limiting value below 25 percent rated thermal power, the R factor would have to be less than 0.241 which is precluded by a considerable margin when employing any permissible control rod pattern.3.5.K.inimum Critical Power Ratio MCPR At core thermal power levels less than or equal to 25 percent, the reactor will be operating at minimum recirculation pump speed and the moderator void'ontent will be very small.For all designated control rod patterns which mav be employed at this point, operating plant experience and thermal hydraulic analysis indicated that the resulting MCpR value is in excess of requirements by a considerable margin.With this low void content, any inadvertent core flow increase would only place operation in a more conservative mode relative to MCpR.The daily requirement for calculating MCPR above 25 percent rated thermal power is sufficient since power distribution shifts are very slow when there have not been significant power or control rod cnanges.The requirement for calculating MCPR when a limiting control rod pattern is approached ensures that MCPR will be known following a change in power or power shape (regardless of magnitude) that could place operation at a thermal limit.QFg Unit 2 3.5/4.5-31
