Summary of Changes ITS Chapter 5.0 Page 1 of 1 Change Description Affected Pages The changes described in the KPS response to question KAB-084 have been made. This change makes changes to the Setpoint Control Program. Pages 105, 106, and 112 In the DEK letter dated 8/18/2010, it was stated that the Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program change described in the last KPS response to GMW-007 would only be made in the clean typed ITS. This was stated since the Revision 1 version of ITC Chapter 5.0 had already been submitted prior to this response. However, since a new Revision 2 version of ITS Chapter 5.0 is being submitted (due to the change described above), this change is being submitted in this Revision 2 version for completeness of the ITS submittal. Page 104 A typographical error has been corrected in the ISTS Markup for ITS 5.5.12. A Reference in ITS 5.5.12.d to Specification 5.5.12b has been changed to Specification 5.5.12.b (i.e., a period has been added between the 12 and the b). Page 99 Note that the black revision bars from Volume 16, Revision 1 are still present in Volume 16, Revision 2. The Revision 2 changes described above are shown by red revision
bars.

These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS.
MORE RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
M01 ITS 5.1.2 requires that the shift manager shall be responsible for the control room command function. During any absence of the shift manager from the control room while the unit is in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, an individual with an active Senior Operator license shall be designated to assume the control room command function. During any absence of the shift manager from the control room while the unit is in MODE 5 or 6, an individual with an active Senior Operator license or Operator license shall be designated to assume the control room command function. The CTS does not include this requirement. This changes the CTS by adding an approved requirement for control room command.
The purpose of ITS 5.1.2 is to ensure that the control room command function is maintained. This change is acceptable because the additional requirements ensure that the individual assuming the control room command functions meets the appropriate qualification requirements. This change is designated as more restrictive because it adds qualification requirements for the designated individual that assumes the control room command function to the CTS.

REVIEWER'S NOTES--------------------------------------- 1. Titles for members of the unit staff shall be specified by use of an overall statement referencing an ANSI Standard acceptable to the NRC staff from which the titles were obtained, or an alternative title may be designated for this position. Generally, the first method is preferable; however, the second method is adaptable to those unit staffs requiring special titles because of unique organizational structures.
- 2. The ANSI Standard shall be the same ANSI Standard referenced in Section 5.3, Unit Staff Qualifications. If alternative titles are used, all requirements of these Technical Specifications apply to the position with the alternative title as apply with the specified title. Unit staff titles shall be specified in the Final Safety Analysis Report or Quality Assurance Plan. Unit staff titles shall be maintained and revised using those procedures approved for modifying/revising the Final Safety A nalysis Report or Quality Assurance Plan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A04 5.2.2.e Amendment No. 193 TS 6.3-1 10/31/2007 Page 4 of 4 DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.2, ORGANIZATION Kewaunee Power Station Page 1 of 5 ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).
These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS.
A02 CTS 6.2.b.1.A and B, in part, require one shift manager (SRO) and two licensed reactor operators on duty at all times. CTS 6.2.b.2 states "When above COLD SHUTDOWN, the on-duty shift complement shall consist of the personnel required by TS 6.2.b.1 and an additional SRO." CTS 6.2.b.4 states "At least one licensed operator shall be in the control room when fuel is in the reactor." CTS 6.2.b.5 states, "Two licensed operators, one of which shall be an SRO, shall be present in the control room when the unit is in an operational MODE other than COLD SHUTDOWN or REFUELING." CTS 6.2.b.6 states "REFUELING OPERATIONS shall be directed by a licensed SRO assigned to the REFUELING OPERATION who has no other current responsibilities during the REFUELING OPERATION." The ITS does not include these requirements. This changes the CTS by deleting these requirements. A change to the number of licensed Operators required on duty is discussed in DOC L01.
The purpose of CTS 6.2.b.1.A and B, 6.2.b.2, 6.2.b.4 6.2.b.5, and 6.2.b.6 is to ensure the proper number of licensed Senior Operators and Operators are on duty as required by NRC regulations. 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) provides the requirements for the number of required on duty licensed Senior Operators and Operators when the unit is operating (i.e., ITS MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4) and not operating (i.e., ITS MODES 5 and 6 and defueled). For a single unit, two licensed Senior Operators and two licensed Operators are required when in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 and one licensed Senior Operator and one licensed Operator are required on duty when in MODE 5 or 6 or defueled. 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii) states "When a nuclear power unit is in an operational mode other than cold shutdown or refueling, as defined by a unit's technical specifications, each licensee shall have a person holding a senior operator license for the nuclear power unit in the control room at all times. In addition to this senior operator, for each fueled nuclear power unit, a licensed operator or senior operator shall be at the controls at all times." 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iv) states "Each licensee shall have present, during alterations of the core of a nuclear power unit (including fuel loading or transfer), a person holding a senior operator license or a senior operator license limited to fuel handling to directly supervise the activity and, during this time, the licensee shall not assign other duties to this person." The KPS Technical Specifications are an attachment to the Operating License, and the Operating License requires that KPS operates in conformity with the NRC rules and Regulations, which include the above 10 CFR 50.54(m) regulations.
This change is acceptable because the requirements deleted from the Technical Specifications (with the exception of the number of licensed Operators required on duty when in MODES 4 and 5 and defueled - which is discussed in DOC L01) are already required by 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i), 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iii), and DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.2, ORGANIZATION Kewaunee Power Station Page 2 of 5 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(iv). This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.
A03 CTS 6.2.d states that changes not affecting safety may be made to the off-site and facility organizations and that such changes that are described in the Technical Specifications shall be reported to the NRC in the form of an application for license amendment within 60 days of the implementation of the change. This allowance is not being maintained in the ITS. This changes the CTS by deleting an allowance to make certain changes to the CTS prior to actually receiving a Technical Specification change.
The purpose of CTS 6.2.d was to allow Dominion Energy Kewaunee (DEK) to make changes to the unit staff organization, such as title changes, without waiting for prior NRC approval. However, License Amendment 193 (ADAMS Accession No. ML072880065) changed the CTS by deleting all plant specific titles and replacing them with generic titles, and specifying that the plant specific titles are in administrative documents. Furthermore, as stated in CTS 6.2.a and b, the off-site and facility organization is described in the quality assurance program. Thus, with the approval of License Amendment 193, this CTS 6.2.d allowance is unnecessary - no changes that do not affect safety are necessary, since all plant-specific titles have been removed from the CTS. Therefore, this change is acceptable and is considered administrative since KPS does not believe the current CTS 6.2.d allowance can be used at this time.
A04 CTS 6.3.b states that "The shift technical advisor shall have a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a scientific or engineering discipline with specific training in the design of the Kewaunee Plant and plant transients. ITS 5.2.2.e states that "An individual shall provide advisory technical support to the unit operations shift crew in the areas of thermal hydraulics, reactor engineering, and plant analysis with regard to the safe operation of the unit. This individual shall meet the qualifications specified by the Commission Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shift." This changes the CTS by referencing the Commission Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shift for qualification requirements instead of specific qualifications.
The purpose of 6.3.b requirements is to specify the minimum qualification requirements for the shift technical advisor. This change is acceptable because the qualification requirements included in the Commission Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise on Shift (Generic Letter 86-04, dated February 13, 1986) encompass the current shift technical advisor qualification requirements. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in a technical change to the CTS.
MORE RESTRICTIVE CHANGES M01 CTS 6.1.a describes that the plant manager is responsible for overall plant operation. CTS 6.2.a states that the off-site organization for plant management and technical support shall be as described in the quality assurance manual. CTS 6.2.b states that the plant organization shall be as described in the quality assurance program. ITS 5.2.1 states:
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.2, ORGANIZATION Kewaunee Power Station Page 3 of 5 "Onsite and offsite organizations shall be established for unit operation and corporate management, respectively. The onsite and offsite organizations shall include the positions for activities affecting safety of the nuclear power plant.
- a. Lines of authority, responsibility, and communication shall be defined and established throughout highest management levels, intermediate levels, and all operating organization positions. These relationships shall be documented and updated, as appropriate, in organization charts, functional descriptions of departmental responsibilities and relationships, and job descriptions for key personnel positions, or in equivalent forms of documentation. These requirements including the plant-specific titles of those personnel fulfilling the responsibilities of the positions delineated in these Technical Specifications shall be documented in the quality assurance program;
- b. The plant manager shall be responsible for overall safe operation of the plant and shall have control over those onsite activities necessary for safe operation and maintenance of the plant;
- c. A specified corporate officer shall have corporate responsibility for overall plant nuclear safety and shall take any measures needed to ensure acceptable performance of the staff in operating, maintaining, and providing technical support to the plant to ensure nuclear safety; and
- d. The individuals who train the operating staff, carry out health physics, or perform quality assurance functions may report to the appropriate onsite manager; however, these individuals shall have sufficient organizational freedom to ensure their independence from operating pressures.
This changes the CTS by providing more details concerning the onsite and offsite organizations in the Technical Specification.
This change is acceptable because the details of the onsite and offsite organizations need to be included in the Technical Specification as delineated in NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0. This change is more restrictive because information that was not included in the CTS is being added to the ITS.
M02 ITS 5.2.2.d states that " The operations manager or assistant operations manager shall hold an SRO license." CTS 6.2 does not include these requirements. This changes the CTS by adding new requirements concerning unit staff qualification to the CTS.
The purpose of ITS 5.2.2.d is to ensure the person who exercises control over the on shift crew has a Senior Operator license. This change is acceptable because it provides specific details concerning these issues. This change is designated as more restrictive because it provides details of the unit staff organization that was not included in the CTS.

LESS RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
L01 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) CTS 6.2.b.1.B requires two licensed reactor operators to be on duty at all times as part of the shift complement. This requirement is being deleted from the Technical Specification since it is duplicative of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i). This is discussed in DOC A02. However, 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i) only requires one licensed Operator to be on duty when in MODE 5 or 6 or defueled. This changes the CTS by only requiring one licensed Operator to be on duty when in MODE 5 or 6 or defueled.
The purpose of CTS 6.2.b.1.B is to ensure the proper number of licensed Operators are on duty as required by NRC regulations. This change is acceptable since the NRC has already approved, as documented in 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(i), the minimum number of Licensed Operators required to be on duty in MODES 5 and 6 and defuled. This change is designated as a less restrictive change since the LCO requirements are less restrictive than are currently required in the CTS.
L02 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) CTS 6.2.b.1.E requires one radiation technologist to be on duty at all times as part of the shift complement.
ITS 5.2.2.c only requires one radiation technologist to be on duty when there is fuel in the reactor vessel. This changes the CTS by not requiring a radiation technologist to be on duty when the reactor is defueled.
The purpose of CTS 6.2.b.1.E is to ensure the proper number of radiation technologists are duty when required.
This change is acceptable since the NRC has already approved, as documented in ISTS NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0 (as well as the other four ISTS NUREGs), allowing no radiation technologists to be on duty when the reactor is defueled. This change is designated as a less restrictive change since the LCO requirements are less restrictive in the ITS than in the CTS.
L03 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirement) CTS 6.2.b.7 states that "When the reactor is above the COLD SHUTDOWN condition, a qualified shift technical advisor shall be within 10 minutes of the control room." ITS 5.2.2.e requires the shift technical advisor to be on duty when the unit is in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, but does not require the individual to be within 10 minutes of the control room. This changes the CTS by deleting the requirement that the shift technical advisor be within 10 minutes of the control room.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.2, ORGANIZATION Kewaunee Power Station Page 5 of 5 The purpose of CTS 6.2.b.7 is to delineate the requirements of the shift technical advisor (STA). The change is acceptable since it is not necessary to prescribe the amount of time the STA has to reach the control room. The NRC has already approved, as documented in ISTS NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0 (as well as the other four ISTS NUREGs), that it is not necessary to delineate the amount of time the STA has to reach the control room when needed. This change is designated as a less restrictive change since the LCO requirements are less restrictive in the ITS than in the CTS.

These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS.
A02 ITS 5.3.2 states "For the purpose of 10 CFR 55.4, a licensed Senior Operator and a licensed Operator are those individuals who, in addition to meeting the requirements of Specification 5.3.1, perform the functions described in 10 CFR 50.54(m)." The CTS does not include such a statement. This changes the CTS by clarifying the functions Senior Operators and Operators perform (i.e., those described in 10 CFR 50.54(m).
This change is acceptable because it clarifies the existing relationship between the Technical Specifications and regulations regarding licensed Senior Operator and Operator qualification requirements. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.

MORE RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
M01 CTS 6.8.a requires that written procedures and administrative policies shall be implemented and maintained that meet the requirements and recommendation of the quality assurance program. ITS 5.4.1.a requires that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978.
ITS 5.4.1.b requires that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for the emergency operating procedures required to implement the requirements of NUREG-0737 and NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, as stated in Generic Letter 82-33. ITS 5.4.1.d requires that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for Fire Protection Program implementation. This changes the CTS by specifying new requirements for procedures in the CTS.
The purpose of ITS 5.4.1.a is to ensure that written procedures are established, implemented, and maintained for the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, Appendix A, February 1978. The purpose ITS 5.4.1.b is to ensure that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for the emergency operating procedures required to implement the requirements of NUREG-0737 and NUREG-0737, Supplement 1, as stated in Generic Letter 82-33. The purpose of ITS 5.4.1.d is to ensure that procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for Fire Protection Program implementation. This change is acceptable since it specifies the actual procedures covered by this requirement in lieu of referencing the quality assurance program as the location that specifies the procedures. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes new requirements for procedures within the Technical Specifications.
M02 ITS 5.4.1.e requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained for all programs specified in Specification 5.5. The CTS does not include this requirement for any programs, other than the ODCM as specified in CTS 6.16.a.2. This changes the CTS by adopting a new requirement for procedures to address all programs described in ITS 5.5.
The purpose of ITS 5.4.1.e is to ensure that written procedures are established, implemented, and maintained covering all programs specified in the ITS 5.5.
This change is considered acceptable because it required written procedures, including proper procedure control to address programs required by ITS 5.5.

REMOVED DETAIL CHANGES LA01 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or other TS Requirement to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, or ISI Program) CTS 6.8.b requires that changes to procedures are made in accordance with the provisions of the quality assurance program. CTS 6.8.c requires that procedures are reviewed in accordance with the provisions of the quality assurance program. ITS 5.4 does not include these requirements. This changes the CTS by moving these details of procedure changes and reviews to the NFQAPD.
The removal of these details, which are related to meeting Technical Specification requirements from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. ITS 5.4.1 still retains the requirement for written procedures required by the Technical Specifications to be established, implemented, and maintained.
Regulations provide an adequate level of control for the affected review requirement. The requirements for establishment, maintenance, and implementation of procedures related to activities affecting quality are contained in 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion II and Criterion V and ANSI N18.7-1976 (ANS 3.2-1976). In accordance with these requirements, the NFQAPD includes adequate detail with respect to administrative control of procedures related to activities affecting quality and nuclear safety, including the review requirements associated with maintenance of these procedures. Also, this change is acceptable because these types of procedural details will be adequately controlled in the NFQAPD. Any changes to the NFQAPD are made under 10 CFR 50.54(a), which ensures changes are properly evaluated. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of detail change because Technical Specification requirements related to procedure review and approval are being removed from the Technical Specifications.

In addition, the Steam Generator Program shall include the following provisions:
- a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments. Condition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" condition of the tubing with respect to the performance criteria for structural integrity and accident induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condition of the tubing during an SG inspection outage, as determined from the inservice inspection results or by other means, prior to the plugging of tubes. Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected or plugged to confirm that the performance criteria are being met.
- b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. SG tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structural integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational LEAKAGE.
- 1. Structural integrity performance criterion: All in
-service steam generator tubes shall retain structural integrity over the full range of normal operating conditions (including startup, operation in the power range, hot standby, and cool down and all anticipated transients included in the design specification) and design basis accidents. This includes retaining a safety factor of 3.0 against burst under normal steady state full power operation primary
-to-secondary pressure differential and a safety factor of 1.4 against burst applied to the design basis accident primary
-to-secondary pressure differentials. Apart from the above requirements, additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or combination of accidents in accordance with the design and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to determine if the associated loads contribute significantly to burst or collapse. In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or collapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loads and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.
- 2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion:
The primary to secondary accident induced leakage rate for any design basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture, shall not exceed the leakage rate assumed in the accident analysis in terms of total leakage rate for all SGs and leakage rate for an individual SG. Leakage is not to exceed 150 gpd per SG.
- 3. The operational LEAKAGE performance criterion is specified in TS 3.1.d, "RCS Operational LEAKAGE."
- c. Provisions for SG tube repair criteria. Tubes found by inservice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness shall be plugged.

- d. Provisions for SG tube inspections. Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed. The number and portions of the tubes inspected and methods of inspection shall be performed with the objective of detecting flaws of any type (e.g., volumetric flaws, axial and circumferential cracks) that may be present along the length of the tube, from the
tube-to-tubesheet weld at the tube inlet to the tube
-to-tubesheet weld at the tube outlet, and that may satisfy the applicable tube repair criteria. The tube
-to-tubesheet weld is not part of the tube. In addition to meeting the requirements of d.1, d.2, and d.3 below, the inspection scope, inspection methods, and inspection intervals shall be such as to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained until the next SG inspection. An assessment of degradation shall be performed to determine the type and location of flaws to which the tubes may be susceptible and, based on this assessment, to determine which inspection methods need to be employed and at what locations.
- 2. Inspect 100% of the tubes at sequential periods of 144, 108, 72, and, thereafter, 60 effective full power months. The first sequential period shall be considered to begin after the first inservice inspection of the SGs. In addition, inspect 50% of the tubes by the refueling outage nearest the midpoint of the period and the remaining 50% by the refueling outage nearest the end of the period. No SG shall operate for more than 72 effective full power months or three refueling outages (whichever is less) without being inspected.
- 3. If crack indications are found in any SG tube, then the next inspection for each SG for the degradation mechanism that caused the crack indication shall not exceed 24 effective full power months or one refueling outage (whichever is less). If definitive information, such as from examination of a pulled tube, diagnostic non
-destructive testing, or engineering evaluation indicates that a crack
-like indication is not associated with a crack(s), then the indication need not be treated as a crack.
- e. Provisions for monitoring operational primary to secondary LEAKAGE.

1975. This standard refers to flow distribution tests performed upstream of filter assemblies.
Since the test results upstream of filters were inconclusive due to high degree of turbulence, tests for flow distribution were performed downstream of filter assemblies with acceptable
results (within 20%). The safety evaluation attached to Amendment 12 references our letter of
August 25, 1976 and acknowledges acceptance of the test results.

The program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program," dated September 1995. The provisions of TS 4.0.b do not apply to the test frequencies specified in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The provisions of TS 4.0.c are
applicable to the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
The peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss-of-coolant accident is less than the containment internal test pressure, P

These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS.
A02 CTS 6.18.a states that the ODCM shall be approved by the Commission prior to implementation. ITS 5.5.1 does not retain this requirement. This changes the CTS by not requiring the Commission's approval prior to implementation.
The purpose of CTS 6.18.a is for the Co mmission to approve of the ODCM prior to its use for the first time. Since the ODCM has already been issued prior to ITS and is currently at Revision 11, there is no need to retain this requirement.
Additionally, ITS 5.5.1.c.3 (CTS 6.18.b.3) requires that the license changes to the ODCM be submitted to the NRC as part of or concurrent with the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in a technical change to the CTS.
A03 CTS 6.12 specifies the requirements for System Integrity, however there is no specific statement as to whether or not the provisions of CTS 4.0.b are applicable. ITS 5.5.2 states that the provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment Program Surveillance Frequencies. This changes the CTS by adding the allowance of ITS SR 3.0.2 to the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment Program.
This statement is needed to maintain the allowance for Surveillance Frequency extensions contained in the ITS since ITS SR 3.0.2 is not normally applied to Frequencies identified in the Administrative Controls Chapter of the ITS. Since this change is a clarification required to maintain provisions that would be allowed in the LCO sections of the Technical Specifications, it is considered administrative in nature. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.
A04 CTS 4.2.a.2 specifies the testing requirements for the in-service testing of ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 pumps and valves. As part of the Surveillance Requirement however, there is no statement whether the provisions of CTS 4.0.b and 4.0.c are applicable to CTS 4.2.a.2. Additionally, CTS 4.2.a.2 states, in part, that testing shall be performed in accordance with the ASME Code of Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants, but no table providing a description of OM Code Frequency to Technical Specification Frequency is provided. ITS 5.5.6 adds specific reference to ITS SR 3.0.2 and ITS SR 3.0.3. Additionally, ITS 5.5.6 adds specific references for the Frequencies of the in-service testing activities. This changes the CTS by adding specific references and specific testing frequencies.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 2 of 10 The purpose of CTS 4.2.a.2 is to specify the in-service testing requirements for ASME Code Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 pumps and valves. Since CTS 4.2.a.2 is a Surveillance Requirement, the requirements of SR 4.0.b and 4.0.c (ITS SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3) apply even though there is not a direct statement in the CTS 4.2.a.2 section. In the ITS, since ITS 5.5.6 is in Chapter 5.0, the requirements of SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 do not apply unless they are specifically stated. Therefore, the statements have been included in ITS 5.5.6. Additionally, ITS 5.5.6 gives the specific testing frequencies that are given in the ASME Code of Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants rather than just referencing them as the CTS does. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in a technical change to the CTS.
A05 The Surveillances associated with the ventilation filter testing for the Shield Building Ventilation System (SBVS), the Auxiliary Building Special Ventilation (ASV) System, and the Control Room Po st Accident Recirculation (CRPAR)
System have been placed in a program in the proposed Administrative Controls Chapter 5.0 (ITS 5.5.9). As such, a general program statement has been added as ITS 5.5.9. Also, a statement of the applicability of ITS SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 is needed to clarify that the allowances for Surveillance Frequency extensions do apply (as allowed in the CTS). This changes the CTS by moving the ventilation filter testing Surveillances associated with the SBVS, ASV System, and CRPAR System to a program in ITS 5.5 and specifically stating the applicability of ITS SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 in the program.
The addition of the program statement is acceptable because it is describing the intent of the CTS Surveillances. The addition of the ITS SR 3.0.2 and SR 3.0.3 statement is a clarification needed to maintain provisions that are currently allowed in the CTS, therefore, it is considered acceptable. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to
the CTS.
A06 CTS 4.4.c.1.a, CTS 4.4.c.2, and CTS 4.4.c.3 provide filter testing requirements for the SBVS. CTS 4.4.d, in part, requires the periodic test of CTS 4.4.c.1.a, 4.4.c.2.a, 4.4.c.2.b, 4.4.c.2.c, and 4.4.c.3 to be performed. CTS 4.4.c.1.a, 4.4.c.2.a, 4.4.c.2.b, 4.4.c.2.c, and 4.4.c.3 provide filter testing requirements for the ASV System. CTS 4.17.a.1, 4.17.b.1, 4.17.b.2, and 4.17.b.3 provide filter
testing requirements for the CRPAR System. ITS 5.5.9.d requires demonstration that the pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks for the SBVS, the ASV System, and the Control Room Post-Accident Recirculation System once every 18 months. This changes the CTS by deleting the "once per operating cycle" terminology.
This change is acceptable since the terms "operating cycle" and "18 months" are synonymous. The Surveillance Frequency remains essentially unchanged since the KPS refueling outage occurs every 18 months. The requirements in both the CTS and ITS remain unchanged in that a test is required to ensure the system will perform its intended function. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 3 of 10 A07 CTS 4.4.c.3 contains a footnote which states:
"In WPS letter of August 25, 1976 to Mr. Al Schwencer (NRC) from Mr. E. W. James, we relayed test results for flow distribution for tests performed in accordance with ANSI N510-1975. This standard refers to flow distribution tests performed upstream of filter assemblies. Since the test results upstream of filters were inconclusive due to high degree of turbulence, tests for flow distribution were performed downstream of filter assemblies with acceptable results (within 20%). The safety evaluation attached to Amendment 12 references our letter of August 25, 1976 and acknowledges acceptance of the test results."
ITS 5.5.9.e requires, in part, that demonstration for each of the specified safety related systems that when tested at the system design flowrate (+/- 10%), the air distribution is uniform within +/- 20%. This changes the CTS by not including the
footnote.
The purpose of the footnote was to acknowledge that the test results for flow distribution performed in accordance with ANSI N510-1975 were inconclusive due to a high degree of turbulence. Therefore, the test is performed downstream of the filter assemblies. ITS 5.5.9.e continues to perform the testing downstream of the filter assemblies with results within +/- 20% of the design flow. ITS does not contain the reference to the WPS letter and Amendment 12. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to
the CTS.
A08 CTS 6.20, Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, requires the performance of containment leakage rate testing in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix J Option B, except as modified by NRC-approved exemptions, and Regulatory Guide 1.163, dated September 1995. CTS 6.20 states that the provisions of Specification 4.0.b do not apply to the test frequencies in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. ITS 5.5.14 does not include this provision. This changes the CTS by deleting the statement that the provisions of Specification 4.0.b are not applicable.
This change is acceptable because no changes have been made to the existing requirements. The statement associated with CTS 4.0.b is not needed since the Frequency extension of ITS SR 3.0.2 is not applied to Frequencies identified in the Administrative Controls Section of the ITS, unless specifically identified. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.
A09 The leakage rate acceptance criteria of CTS 6.20.c states, in part, that the personnel and emergency air lock leakage rates, when combined with the cumulative Type B and C leakage, shall be < 0.60 L
- a. There is no separate leakage rate test for the airlock; only the individual door seals have a separate leakage limit. ITS 5.5.14 does not specify that the overall air lock leakage limit is part of the Types B and C limit. This changes the CTS by not specifically stating that the overall containment air locks leakage is part of the overall Types B and C limit.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 4 of 10 10 CFR 50, Appendix J states overall air lock leakage tests are a Type B test. Furthermore, ITS Bases 3.6.1, as well as ITS Bases 3.6.2 states that overall air lock leakage is part of the Types B and C limit. Therefore, since the overall air lock leakage is part of the combined Types B and C limit (<0.60 L a), and this limit is specified in the ITS (ITS 5.5.14.d.1), there is no reason to restate this fact in the air lock section of the Program. This change is acceptable because no changes have been made to the existing requirements. The overall air lock leakage rate is considered to include the personnel and emergency air lock leakage rate in combination with the cumulative Type B and C leakage limit. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.
MORE RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
M01 CTS 6.18.b.2 states, in part, that the ODCM becomes effective after review and acceptance by the PORC. ITS 5.5.1.c.2 states, in part, that the ODCM becomes effective after review and acceptance by the plant manager. This changes the CTS by requiring the plant manager approval for the ODCM.
The purpose of CTS 6.18.b.2 is to ensure that the ODCM has been properly reviewed by the PORC. ITS 5.5.1 still requires that the PORC review is performed (see DOC LA01 for the exclusion of the PORC from the ITS 5.5.1), but also includes an additional acceptance that the plant manager must review and approve the ODCM. This change is designated as more restrictive since a higher level of approval is required in the ITS than was required in the CTS.
M02 CTS 6.12 specifies the requirements for System Integrity, however it does not list the systems that must be monitored. ITS 5.5.2 specifically lists the systems that must be monitored by the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment Program. This changes the CTS by adding the specific systems that are affected by the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment Program.
The purpose of the Primary Coolant Sources Outside Containment Program is to minimize leakage from those portions of systems that could contain highly radioactive fluids during serious transient or accidents to levels as low as reasonably practicable. The systems added to the Specification include the Safety Injection System, Chemical and Volume Control System, Containment Spray System, Reactor Building Ventilation System, Residual Heat Removal System, Miscellaneous Sumps and Drains System, and Primary Sampling System. This change is acceptable because these systems are currently monitored to satisfy the CTS requirement and is a complete list of those systems that could contain highly radioactive fluids during a serious transient or accident.
This change is designated as more restrictive because it adds an explicit list of systems to the Technical Specifications.
M03 The CTS does not include program requirements for a Component Cyclic or Transient Limit Program. The ITS includes a program for this activity. This changes the CTS by adding the Component Cyclic or Transient Limit Program.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 5 of 10 The Component Cyclic or Transient Limit Program is included to ensure controls are in place to track the USAR Section 4.1.5 and Table 4.1-8, cyclic and transient occurrences which ensures that components are maintained within the design limits. This change is acceptable because it supports implementation of the requirements of the USAR. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes additional programmatic requirements in the Technical Specifications.
M04 The CTS does not include program requirements for the Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program. The ITS includes a program for this activity. This changes the CTS by adding the Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program.
The Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program provides a requirement to perform an inspection of each reactor coolant pump flywheel per the recommendations of Regulatory Position C.4.b of Regulatory Guide 1.14, Revision 1, August 1975. This change is acceptable because it supports implementation of the requirements of the ITS. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes additional programmatic requirements in the Technical Specifications.
M05 CTS 6.15, Secondary Water Chemistry Program, does not include the low pressure turbine disc stress corrosion cracking as part of the scope of the program. ITS 5.5.8 includes the low pressure turbine disc stress corrosion cracking as part of the monitoring program. This changes the CTS by adding the low pressure turbine disc stress corrosion cracking to the scope of the Secondary Water Chemistry Program.
The purpose of the Secondary Water Chemistry Program is to provide controls for monitoring secondary water chemistry to inhibit both steam generator tube degradation and low pressure turbine disc stress corrosion cracking. The contamination of steam generator secondary coolant is the fundamental cause of steam generator degradation, impairment of steam generator tube integrity, and low pressure turbine disc stress corrosion. In order to control deposits and corrosion within the secondary coolant, guidelines have been established to control the water chemistry of the secondary side. The addition of the low pressure turbine disc stress corrosion cracking to the Secondary Water Chemistry Program is acceptable because the careful control of the quality of the secondary water chemistry serves to inhibit the potential accumulation of corrosive impurities that could eventually contribute to component degradation and eventual failure. This change is more restrictive because a new requirement is being added to the Technical Specifications.
M06 CTS 6.15, Secondary Water Chemistry Program, does not contain specific control mechanisms for monitoring the secondary water chemistry. It only provides a general description that secondary water chemistry program shall act as a guide for the chemistry group in their routine as well as non-routine activities. ITS 5.5.8 includes specific control mechanisms that shall be included in the program. This changes the CTS by adding additional details regarding what is to be included in the Secondary Water Chemistry Program.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 6 of 10 The purpose of the additional steps in ITS 5.5.8 (i.e., 5.5.8.a through 5.5.8.f) is to provide specific details of what should be included in a program to monitor the secondary water chemistry. The additional details include identification of a sampling schedule for critical variables; identification of the procedures used to measure values of critical variables; identification of process sampling points to monitor for evidence of condenser in-leakage; procedures for recording and management of data; procedures defining corrective actions for off control point chemistry conditions; and a procedure identifying the authority responsible for interpretation of the data and the sequence and timing of administrative events required to initiate corrective actions. This change is acceptable because additional details are provided to assist in developing a program that will ensure the intent of the program is met and will contribute to an effective means of monitoring the chemistry of the secondary water. This change is designated more restrictive because it adds new requirements to the Technical Specifications.
M07 The CTS does not have a program for Explosive Gas and Storage Tank Radioactivity Monitoring. ITS 5.5.10 requires a program to provide controls for potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the Gaseous Radioactive Waste Disposal System, the quantity of radioactivity contained in gas storage tanks or fed into the offgas treatment system, and the quantity of radioactivity contained in unprotected outdoor liquid storage tanks. This changes the CTS by incorporating the requirements of ITS 5.5.10.
The purpose of the program is to control potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the Gaseous Radioactive Waste Disposal System, the quantity of radioactivity contained in gas storage tanks or fed into the offgas treatment system, and the quantity of radioactivity contained in unprotected outdoor liquid storage tanks. Additionally, this change is consistent with the requirements in ODCM sections 3/4.3 and 3/4.4. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes new programmatic requirements in the Technical Specifications.
M08 The CTS does not have a program for Diesel Fuel Oil Testing. ITS 5.5.11 requires a program to implement testing of both new fuel oil and stored fuel oil. This changes the CTS by incorporating the requirements of ITS 5.5.11.
The purpose of the program is to provide sampling and testing requirements, along with acceptance criteria for testing of new and stored fuel oil. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes new programmatic requirements in the Technical Specifications.
M09 The CTS does not include program requirements for the Safety Function Determination Program. The ITS includes a program for the Safety Function Determination Program. This change the CTS by adding the Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP).
The Safety Function Determination Program is included to support implementation of the support system OPERABILITY characteristics of the Technical Specifications. The specific wording associated with this program is DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 7 of 10 found in ITS 5.5.13. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes additional programmatic requirements in the Technical Specifications.
M10 The CTS does not include a requirement for Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program. The ITS includes a requirement for this program. This changes the CTS by adding the ITS 5.5.15, "Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program."
The Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program is included to provide for battery restoration and maintenance. The specific wording associated with this program may be found in ITS 5.5.15. This change is acceptable because it supports implementation of the requirements of the ITS. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes additional programmatic requirements in the Technical Specifications.
M11 The CTS does not have a program for Setpoint Control. ISTS 5.5.18 (ITS 5.5.16) requires a program to satisfy the regulatory requirement of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(ii)(A) that Technical Specifications will include items in the category of limiting safety system settings (LSSS), which are settings for automatic protective devices related to those variables having significant safety functions. This changes the CTS by incorporating the requirements of
The purpose of the program is to establish, implement, and maintain instrument setpoint controls for automatic protective devices related to those variables having significant safety functions. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes new programmatic requirements in the Technical Specifications.
M12 CTS 6.20 states that the peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident is less than the containment internal test pressure. The containment internal test pressure is defined as P a in the CTS. ITS 5.5.14.b contains a specific value for the calculated peak containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident and the containment design pressure. The calculated peak containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident is defined as P a in the ITS. This changes the CTS by adding a specific value for the calculated peak containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident and a value for the containment design pressure.
The peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident is derived from the maximum containment pressure which is given as 44.6 psig at 19.9 seconds in USAR Table 14.3.5-8. The same maximum containment pressure was also reviewed and approved by the NRC as documented in the NRC Safety Evaluation for License Amendment 172 (the KPS Stretch Power Uprate), section 3.8.2.1.2.2, dated February 27, 2004 (ADAMS Accession No. ML040430633). The containment design pressure of 46 psig is also documented in the USAR and was reviewed and approved in the original USAR approval. This change is designated as more restrictive because it imposes new values that were not included in the CTS.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 8 of 10 M13 CTS 3.6.c.3.A, 3.6.c.3.C, 3.8.a.9.b.1, 3.8.a.9.b.3, 3.12.c.1, 3.12.c.3, 4.4.c.1.a, 4.4.c.3, 4.4.d.1, 4.12.a.1, and 4.17.a.1 require certain Ventilation System filter tests to be performed at the system design flow rate. However, no specific value of the various Ventilation System design flow rates is provided. ITS 5.5.9.a, b, d, and e require performance of similar Ventilation System filter tests, and include the specific value of the design flow rate for each required Ventilation System. This changes the CTS by adding the specific design flow rate values into the filter test requirements of the ITS.
The various Ventilation System filter tests are performed at the system design flow rate. However, the specific values are currently controlled in plant procedures and the USAR. This change will add the values into the Technical Specifications, and thus any change will require NRC approval in lieu of changing it by the 10 CFR 50.59 process. Therefore, this change is considered acceptable. This change is designated as more restrictive because new Ventilation System design flow rate values are being included in the ITS that are not required in the CTS.
RELOCATED SPECIFICATIONS
None REMOVED DETAIL CHANGES
LA01 (Type 3 - Removing Procedural Details for Meeting TS Requirements or Reporting Requirements) CTS 6.18.b.1 requires changes to the ODCM to be documented and records of reviews performed to be retained as required by the quality assurance program. CTS 6.18.b.2 requires changes to the ODCM to be effective after review and acceptance by the PORC. ITS 5.5.1.c.1 requires changes to the ODCM to be documented and records of reviews performed to be retained. ITS 5.5.1.c.2 requires changes to the ODCM to become effective after the approval of the plant manager. This changes the CTS by moving the record retention requirements reference and the PORC review and approval requirements to the Nuclear Facility Quality Assurance Program Description (NFQAPD). DOC M01 describes the addition of the plant manager approval.
The removal of these details, which are related to meeting Technical Specification requirements, from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety.
ITS 5.5.1 still retains the requirement for changes to the ODCM to be documented and retained. Also, this change is acceptable because these types of procedural details will be adequately controlled in the NFQAPD. Any changes to the NFQAPD are made under 10 CFR 50.54(a), which ensure changes are properly evaluated. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of detail change because procedural details for meeting Technical Specifications requirements are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 9 of 10 LA02 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or other TS requirement to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, ISI Program, or Setpoint Control Program) CTS 4.2.a and 4.2.a.1 provide requirements for the In-Service Inspection Program. The ITS does not include In-Service Inspection Program requirements. This changes the CTS by moving these requirements from the Technical Specifications to the In-Service Inspection (ISI) Program.
The removal of these requirements is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. The Technical Specifications still retain requirements for the affected components to be OPERABLE. Also, this change is acceptable because these requirements will be adequately controlled by the ISI Program, which is required by 10 CFR 50.55a.
Compliance with 10 CFR 50.55a is required by the Kewaunee Operating License. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of requirement change because requirements are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
LESS RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
L01 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) CTS 6.20.b states, in part, that the leakage rate acceptance criteria prior to unit startup for the Type A test is
< 0.75 L a. ITS 5.5.14.d.1 states, in part, that the leakage rate acceptance criteria prior to unit startup for the Type A test is 0.75 L a. This changes the CTS by allowing the leakage rate to be exactly equal to 0.75 L a in lieu of being < 0.75 L
- a. The purpose of ITS 5.5.14.d.1 is to ensure that prior to a unit startup the overall containment leakage rate with a certain amount of margin, does not exceed the value assumed in the accident analysis. This change is acceptable because the acceptance criteria limit in ITS 5.5.14.d.1 (the 1.0 L a limit) continues to ensure the containment leakage is within the value assumed in the accident analysis. The 10CFR50 Appendix J Option B states that for Type A tests the leakage rate must not exceed the allowable leakage rate (L a) with margin, as specified in the Technical Specifications. The ITS now provides a margin that includes allowing the limit to be exactly 0.75 L
- a. This change is designated as less restrictive because the acceptance criteria applicable prior to a unit startup for the Type A leakage tests is now allowed to be exactly equal to 0.75 L a in lieu of being
< 0.75 L a.
L02 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) CTS 4.4.c.1.a provides the pressure drop test acceptance criteria for the Shield Building Ventilation System (SBVS) and the Auxiliary Building Spec ial Ventilation (ASV) System. The acceptance criteria are a pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks < 10 inches of water and a pressure drop across any HEPA filter bank < 4 inches of water. CTS 4.17.a.1 provides the pressure drop test acceptance criteria for the Control Room Post Accident Recirculation (CRPAR) System. The acceptance criteria are a pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsor ber banks < 6 inches of water and a pressure drop across any HEPA filter bank < 4 inches of water. ITS 5.5.9.d provides the pressure drop test acceptance criteria for all three systems, and DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 10 of 10 requires the pressure drop across the combined prefilters, HEPA filters, and charcoal adsorber banks to be < 6.3 inches of water for the SBVS and the ASV System, and < 2.4 inches of water for the CRPAR System. This changes the CTS by reducing the acceptance criteria for the combined dP, including the prefilters as part of the combined dp test, and deleting the HEPA filter only dP criteria.
Performance testing demonstrating that dP is within prescribed limits assures that fans operate within +/- 10% of design flow, and thus ensures that filters perform adequately to satisfy the accident analyses. That is, if the performances are as specified, the calculated doses would be less than the guidelines stated in 10CFR Part 100 for the accidents analyzed.
During the development of Design Basis Documents for these ventilation systems it was identified that the analytical basis for the CTS dP acceptance criteria could not be verified. KPS has recently performed calculations, based on a newly developed analytical basis. These calculations have determined that the current dP acceptance criteria are non-conservative. KPS has implemented, in procedures, these more restrictive acceptance criteria. This change to the CTS replaces the non-conservative dp acceptance criteria with the current acceptance criteria from the recent calculation. This change is acceptable because it will incorporate newly calculated, and more conservative, dP acceptance criteria.
Combined dP testing across the prefilter, HEPA filter and charcoal adsorber banks, per the ISTS format, in lieu of CTS combined HEPA filter and charcoal adsorber bank and HEPA-only dP testing, will still adequately demonstrate that the filters are not clogged and capable of performing their design function.
The change related to the reduction of the combined dP limit is more restrictive, since it is reducing the limit and adding another component (prefilter) to the testing. However, the change related to removing the HEPA filter only dP limit is less restrictive. Therefore, this change is designated as less restrictive because the acceptance criteria applicable to the HEPA filter only dP test is being deleted.

In addition, the Steam Generator Program shall include the following provisions:
- a. Provisions for condition monitoring assessments. Condition monitoring assessment means an evaluation of the "as found" condition of the tubing with respect to the performance criteria for structural integrity and accident induced leakage. The "as found" condition refers to the condition of the tubing during an SG inspection outage, as determined from the inservice inspection results or by other means, prior to the plugging [or repair] of tubes. Condition monitoring assessments shall be conducted during each outage during which the SG tubes are inspected, plugged, [or repaired] to confirm that the performance criteria are being met.
- b. Performance criteria for SG tube integrity. SG tube integrity shall be maintained by meeting the performance criteria for tube structural integrity, accident induced leakage, and operational LEAKAGE.
- 1. Structural integrity performance criterion: All in
-service steam generator tubes shall retain structural integrity over the full range of normal operating conditions (including startup, operation in the power range, hot standby, and cool down and all anticipated transients included in the design specification) and design basis accidents. This includes retaining a safety factor of 3.0 against burst under normal steady state full power operation primary
-to-secondary pressure differential and a safety factor of 1.4 against burst applied to the design basis accident primary-to-secondary pressure differentials. Apart from the above requirements, additional loading conditions associated with the design basis accidents, or combination of accidents in accordance with the design and licensing basis, shall also be evaluated to determine if the associated loads contribute significantly to burst or collapse. In the assessment of tube integrity, those loads that do significantly affect burst or collapse shall be determined and assessed in combination with the loads due to pressure with a safety factor of 1.2 on the combined primary loads and 1.0 on axial secondary loads.
- 2. Accident induced leakage performance criterion: The primary to secondary accident induced leakage rate for any design basis accident, other than a SG tube rupture, shall not exceed the leakage rate assumed in the accident analysis in terms of total leakage rate for all SGs and leakage rate for an individual SG. Leakage is not to exceed [1 gpm] per SG [, except for specific types of degradation at specific locations as described in paragraph c of the Steam Generator Program. 150 gallons per day 7 6 6.22 6.22.a 6.22.b 12 12 or 1 2 1 Programs and Manuals 5.5 WOG STS 5.5-7 Rev. 3.1, 12/01/05 CTS 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.9 Steam Generator (SG) Program (continued)

Tubes found by inservice inspection to contain flaws with a depth equal to or exceeding [40%] of the nominal tube wall thickness shall be plugged [or repaired].
REVIEWER'S NOTE---------------------------------------- Alternate tube repair criteria currently permitted by plant technical specifications are listed here. The description of these alternate tube repair criteria should be equivalent to the descriptions in current technical specifications and should also include any allowed accident induced leakage rates for specific types of degradation at specific locations associated with tube repair criteria.
[The following alternate tube repair criteria may be applied as an alternative to the 40% depth based criteria:
- 1. . . .]
- d. Provisions for SG tube inspections. Periodic SG tube inspections shall be performed. The number and portions of the tubes inspected and methods of inspection shall be performed with the objective of detecting flaws of any type (e.g., volumetric flaws, axial and circumferential cracks) that may be present along the length of the tube, from the tube
-to-tubesheet weld at the tube inlet to the tube
-to-tubesheet weld at the tube outlet, and that may satisfy the applicable tube repair criteria. The tube
-to-tubesheet weld is not
part of the tube. In addition to meeting the requirements of d.1, d.2, and d.3 below, the inspection scope, inspection methods, and inspection intervals shall be such as to ensure that SG tube integrity is maintained until the next SG inspection. An assessment of degradation shall be performed to determine the type and location of flaws to which the tubes may be susceptible and, based on this assessment, to determine which inspection methods need to be employed and at what locations.

5.5.15 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 Condition and Required 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 6.21.c, 6.21.e 6.21.d 12.U 12 6 6 18 DOC M09 ¶ a.b 13 ; ;;;;1 1 2 6 2 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 4 2 2 2 2 3 3 3;6.21 7 Programs and Manuals 5.5 WOG STS 5.5-15 Rev. 3.1, 12/01/05 CTS 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.15 Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP)

The program shall identify the Functions described in Paragraph a. that are automatic protective devices related to variables having significant safety functions as delineated by 10 CFR 50.36(c)(1)(ii)(A). The NTSP of these Functions are Limiting Safety System Settings. These Functions shall be demonstrated to be functioning as required by applying the following requirements during CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS, CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TESTS, and TRIP ACTUATING DEVICE OPERATIONAL TESTS that verify the NTSP.
- 1. The as-found value of the instrument channel trip setting shall be compared with the previous as-left value or the specified NTSP.
- 2. If the as-found value of the instrument channel trip setting differs from the previous as-left value or the specified NTSP by more than the pre-defined test acceptance criteria band (i.e., the specified AFT), then the instrument channel shall be evaluated before declaring the SR met and returning the instrument channel to service. This condition shall be entered in the plant corrective action program.
- 3. If the as-found value of the instrument channel trip setting is less conservative than the specified AV, then the SR is not met and the instrument channel shall be immediately declared inoperable.
- 4. The instrument channel setpoint shall be reset to a value that is within the as-left tolerance around the NTSP at the completion of the surveillance test; otherwise, the channel is inoperable (setpoints may be more conservative than the NTSP provided that the as-found and as-left tolerances apply to the actual setpoint used to confirm channel performance).
- e. The program shall be specified in [insert the facility FSAR reference or the name of any document incorporated into the facility FSAR by reference].
1 CTS DOC M11 the Technical Requirements Manual JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 1 of 5 1. The ISTS contains bracketed information and/or values that are generic to all Westinghouse vintage plants. The brackets are removed and the proper plant specific information/value is provided. This is acceptable since the generic specific information/value is revised to reflect the current plant design.
- 2. This Specification has been renumbered to be consistent with the ITS Format and for clarity.
- 3. The punctuation corrections have been made consistent with the Writer's Guide for the Improved Standard Technical Specifications, TSTF-GG-05-01, Section 5.1.3.
- 4. The Primary Containment Sources Outside Containment is currently called the System Integrity Program (SIP) at Kewaunee Power Station (KPS). To maintain consistency with ISTS 5.5.2 the title of the section has not been changed, but the site specific title for the program has been added to the description. This is acceptable since the ISTS has not been changed and the site can maintain the name of the program used in the CTS.
- 5. The ISTS contains bracketed information and/or values that are generic to all Westinghouse vintage plants. The brackets are removed and the proper plant specific information/value is provided. The systems provided are the systems KPS currently tests under the System Integrity Program (SIP) requirements of CTS 6.1.2. This is acceptable since the generic specific information/value is revised to reflect the current plant design.
- 6. The bracketed ISTS 5.5.3, "Post Accident Sampling," and the ISTS 5.5.6, "Pre-Stressed Concrete Containment Tendon Surveillance Program," are not included
in the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) ITS. The ISTS 5.5.3 requirement for Post Accident Sampling was deleted in License Amendment 160, dated January 16, 2002 (ADAMS Accession No. ML020170187) and the ISTS 5.5.6 requirement is not included since KPS does not have pre-stressed concrete tendons. Subsequent programs in ITS Section 5.5 have been renumbered as necessary.
- 7. Typographical/grammatical error corrected.
- 8. The ISTS 5.5.7 Reviewer's Note states that the inspection interval and scope for RCP flywheels stated above (i.e., the second paragraph of ISTS 5.5.7) can be applied to plants that satisfy the requirements of WCAP-15666. The current
Kewaunee Power Station commitment with re spect to the flywheel inspections is at a 20 year interval (consistent with WCAP-15666), as documented in the letter from Thomas Coutu (NMC) to the NRC, "Response to Request for Additional Information Related to Third and Fourth 10-Year In-Service Inspection Intervals Request for Relief for Nuclear Management Company, LLC," dated September 17, 2004 (ADAMS accession No. ML042720366). Therefore, the second paragraph allowances have been maintained in ITS 5.5.5. Furthermore, the Reviewer's Note has been deleted. This information is for the NRC reviewer to be keyed into what is needed to meet this requirement. This is not meant to be retained in the final version of the plant specific submittal.
JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 2 of 5 9. The Inservice Testing Program (ISTS 5.5.8) has been modified to state that the IST Program provides control for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 "pumps and valves" in place of the current "components." 10 CFR 50.55a(f) provides the regulatory requirements for the IST Program. It specifies that ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves are the only components covered by an IST Program. 10 CFR 50.55a(g) provides regulatory requirements for an Inservice Inspection (ISI) Program. It specifies that ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components are covered by the ISI Pr ogram, and that pumps and valves are covered by the IST Program in 10 CFR 50.55a(f). The ISTS does not include ISI Program requirements as these requir ements have been relocated to a plant specific document. Therefore, the components to which the IST Program applies (i.e., pumps and valves) have been added for clarity. In addition, the statement "The program shall include the following:" has been deleted because not all of the statements that follow are really part of the program requirements.
Furthermore, the terms weekly, semiannually, and every 9 months have been deleted since these terms are not used in the ASME OM Code.
- 10. Not Used.
- 11. ISTS 5.5.11 uses the term "Engineered Safety Feature (ESF)" to describe the ventilation systems tested as part of this Specification. The three ventilation systems covered in ITS 5.5.9 are the Shield Building Ventilation System (SBVS), Auxiliary Building Special Ventilation (ASV) System, and Control Room Post Accident Recirculation (CRPAR) System. The KPS CRPAR System is not an ESF. Therefore, the term has been changed to "safety related," since all three of the ventilations systems are safety related.
- 12. The Reviewer's Note to ISTS 5.5.9.c and the subsequent wording states alternate tube repair criteria that are currently permitted by the plant technical specifications should be provided in the ITS. ISTS 5.5.9.f (ITS 5.5.7.f), including the Reviewer's Note, states, in part, the tube repair methods currently permitted by plant technical specifications should be provided in the ITS. The bracketed allowance to provide steam generator tube repair criteria and methods are not included since the current KPS Steam Generator Program does not allow repair; only plugging is allowed.
- 13. Kewaunee Power Station has steam generators with Alloy 690 thermally treated tubing. Therefore the third option is maintained, consistent with the current Technical Specifications.
- 15. The Reviewer's Note contains information for the NRC reviewer to be keyed into what is needed to meet this requirement. This is not meant to be retained in the final version of the plant specific submittal. Therefore, the Reviewer's Note has been deleted.
- 16. Not Used.
- 17. ISTS 5.5.13.c requires the total particulate concentration of the fuel oil to be tested every 31 days. The current test frequency at KPS is 92 days (per plant JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 3 of 5 procedures). ITS 5.5.11.c has been changed to be consistent with current KPS practices. KPS has reviewed the maintenance history of this test and determined that the proposed 92 day Frequency is sufficient to ensure total particulates stays within the new ITS 5.5.11.c limit of 10 mg/l. In addition, the KPS diesel storage tanks are outdoor tanks, subject to the weather. Thus, minimizing the number of times the tanks must be opened to obtain fuel oil samples will also benefit keeping snow, rain water, and other contaminants out of the storage tanks.
- 18. Changes are made to the ISTS which reflect the plant specific nomenclature.
- 19. Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) complies with Option B of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J. Therefore, the ISTS 5.5.16 Option A and combined Option A and B provisions have been deleted.
- 20. ISTS 5.5.16.a (ITS 5.5.14.a) contains exceptions to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.163. The KPS Containment Leak Rate Testing Program does not take any exceptions to the RG 1.163 requirements. Therefore, these exceptions are deleted.
- 21. Not Used.
- 22. KPS does not include a separate overall ai r lock leakage limit; it is only included as part of the combined Types B and C leakage limit (0.60 L a). Therefore, ISTS 5.5.16.d.2.a) has not been included. Due to this, there is no reason to include the requirements of ISTS 5.5.16.d.2.b) separate from ISTS 5.5.16.d.2. Thus it has been combined into ISTS 5.5.16.d.2. Furthermore, ISTS 5.5.16.d.2.b) states, in part, the air lock acceptance criteria for each door. The CTS 6.20.c states, in part, the air lock acceptance criteria for each air lock door seal. ITS 5.5.14.d.2) is written to address each air lock door seal. This is acceptable since the ITS is edited to reflect the text in the CTS and for clarification. Lastly, ISTS 5.5.16.d.2.b) (ITS 5.5.14.d) contains a bracketed value for the air lock door seal containment leakage rate acceptance criteria and the pressure to which each door seal is tested. The brackets have been removed for the pressure to which each door seal is tested and an acceptance criteria value of < 0.005 L a has been provided consistent with CTS 6.20. This is acceptable since the generic specific information/value is revised to reflect the current plant design.
- 23. ISTS 5.5.16 (ITS 5.5.14) provides the requirements for the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The statement in ISTS 5.5.16.f that "Nothing in these Technical Specifications shall be construed to modify the testing Frequencies required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix J" has been deleted. This phrase is not consistent with the allowances in ISTS 5.5.16.a (ITS 5.5.14.a), which states that "A program shall establish the leakage rate testing of the containment as
required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions." Thus the ISTS clearly allows exemptions to be made. In addition, the ISTS clearly states (in the remainder of ITS 5.5.14.a) that "This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163," and RG 1.163 includes the appropriate Surveillance test Frequencies and how they can be adjusted.
JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 4 of 5 24. ISTS 5.5.17, "Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program," was added to NUREG-1431, Rev. 2 as part of TSTF-360, Rev. 1, which was approved by the NRC on December 18, 2000 (documented in a letter from W. D. Beckner, NRC to A. R. Pietrangelo, NEI). In a NRC subsequent NRC letter to the Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF), dated April 11, 2006, the NRC expressed concerns about certain aspects of the changes approved in TSTF-360, Rev.1. Since that time, the NRC and TSTF have had ongoing discussions concerning this program, and a new TSTF, proposed TSTF-500, Rev. 2, has been generated to resolve the NRC concerns. KPS is proposing revisions to the program based this proposed TSTF. The proposed changes are discussed below.
The Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program is revised to reference IEEE-450-2002 and Regulatory Guide 1.129, Revision 2 (with exceptions), to require actions to equalize and test battery cells when the electrolyte level drops below the top of plates instead of when the electrolyte level drops below the minimum established design limit, to require actions to verify the remaining cells are >
2.13 V when a cell or cells have been found to be < 2.13 V. The Program is also revised to state the license controlled program will contain limits on average electrolyte temperature, battery connection resistance, and battery terminal voltage; and a requirement to obtain specific gravity readings of all cells at each discharge test, consistent with manufacturer recommendations.
The exceptions to Regulatory Guide 1.129, Revision 2, are needed to make the Regulatory Guide requirements consistent with the proposed Technical Specification requirements, allow reasonable technical approaches, and be applicable to operating plants, as described below:
Exception 1: Regulatory Guide 1.129 states that temperature correction must be performed before and after the test. IEEE-450-2002 recommends performing temperature correction before or after the test and this is adequate to obtain accurate test results.
Exception 2: This change excludes the Regulatory Guide 1.129 referenced documents, as they are not relevant to the program.
Exception 3: Regulatory Guide 1.129, Regulatory Position 2, states, "Where reference is made to the pilot cell, pilot cell selection shall be based on finding an average cell that is representative of the entire battery's individual cell voltage and specific gravity readings." This position is inconsistent with the treatment of pilot cells in TSTF-500. As stated in the justification (above), "In the past, pilot cells were selected to represent average cells in the battery. The change to 2.07 V now requires pilot cells to be selected to represent the lowest voltage cells in the battery. This ensures that the other cells are above the pilot cell voltage which must remain above the TS limit." Exception 4: The following statements are excluded from Regulatory Position 3, subsection 5.4.1, "When it has been recorded that the charging current has stabilized at the charging voltage for three consecutive hourly measurements, the battery is near full charge. These JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS ITS 5.5, PROGRAMS AND MANUALS Kewaunee Power Station Page 5 of 5 measurements shall be made after the initially high charging current decreases sharply and the battery voltage rises to approach the charger output voltage." This is inconsistent with the OPERABILITY requirements used in the KPS ITS, which state that verifying battery float current to be 2 amps while on float charge determines the battery is fully charged (See SR 3.8.6.1).
Exception 5: Regulatory Guide 1.129, Regulatory Position 7, recommends recording the specific gravity and float voltage of each cell in the string following the test. The Battery Monitoring and Maintenance Program requires obtaining specific gravity readings of all cells at each discharge test, consistent with manufacturer recommendations. The provision to follow the manufacturer's recommendations is a reasonable allowance given that the battery manufacturer is qualified to determine the benefit of the readings.
- 25. ISTS 5.5.18, "Setpoint Control Program (SCP)," has been added consistent with proposed TSTF-493, Revision 4. Any changes to the proposed program are discussed in other Justification for Deviations. In addition, the bracketed ISTS 5.5.3, "Post Accident Sampling," and the ISTS 5.5.6, "Pre-Stressed Concrete Containment Tendon Surveillance Program," are not included in the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) ITS. Therefore, this Specification has been renumbered in the KPS ITS as 5.5.16.
- 26. Changes are made to be consistent with the LCO title in Section 3.3. In addition, ISTS 3.3.8 and 3.3.9 have not been adopted in the KPS ITS.
- 27. The NRC has not approved processing changes using the KPS setpoint methodology such that the Setpoint Control Program can be implemented as described in TSTF-493, Rev. 4 and shown in Insert 8. Therefore, based on discussions with the NRC staff, changes have been made to the Setpoint Control Program that essentially requires any changes to the NTSP, AV, AFT, and ALT be reviewed and approved by the NRC.

The analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits shall be those previously reviewed and approved by the NRC. When an initial assumed power level of 102% of the original rated power is specified in a previously approved method, 100.6% of uprated power may be used only when the main feedwater flow measurement (used as the input for reactor thermal output) is provided by the Crossflow ultrasonic flow measurement system (Crossflow system) as described in report (15) listed below. When main feedwater flow measurements from the Crossflow System are unavailable, a power measurement uncertainty consistent with the instrumentation used shall be applied.
Future revisions of approved analytical methods listed in this Technical Specification that currently reference the original Appendix K uncertainty of 102% of the original rated power should include the condition given above allowing use of 100.6% of uprated power in the safety analysis methodology when the Crossflow system is used for main feedwater flow measurement.

DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.6, REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).
These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS.
MORE RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
M01 The second paragraph of ITS 5.6.1 includes details required to be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. CTS 6.9.b.1.A does not contain this level of detail. This changes the CTS by requiring additional detail to be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report.
The purpose of the second paragraph of ITS 5.6.1 is to specify details to be included in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report. This change is acceptable because the content requirements are consistent with the objectives outlined in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. This change is designated more restrictive because it adds new reporting requirements to the Technical Specifications.
M02 The CTS does not include program requirements for the Post Accident Monitoring Report. The ITS includes a requirement for this report. This changes the CTS by adding the Post Accident Monitoring Report requirement.
The purpose of ITS 5.6.4 is to specify details to be included in the Post Accident Monitoring Report. This change is acceptable because it supports implementation of the requirements of the ITS. This change is designated as more restrictive because it adds new reporting requirements to the Technical Specifications.
RELOCATED SPECIFICATIONS
None
REMOVED DETAIL CHANGES None
LESS RESTRICTIVE CHANGES L01 (Category 1 -Relaxation of LCO Requirements) CTS 6.9.b.1.A requires the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report to be submitted before May Kewaunee Power Station Page 1 of 2 DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.6, REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Kewaunee Power Station Page 2 of 2 1 of the year. ITS 5.6.1 requires the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report to be submitted by May 15 of each year. This changes the CTS by allowing additional time to submit this report each year.
The purpose of the due date for submitting the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report is to ensure that the report is provided in a reasonable period of time to the NRC for review. This change is acceptable because the report is still required to be provided to the NRC on or before May 15 and cover the previous calendar year, report completion and submittal is clearly not necessary to assure operation in a safe manner for the interval between May 1 and May 15. Additionally, there is no requirement for the NRC to approve the report. This change is designated as less restrictive because it allows more time to prepare and submit the report to the NRC.

Amendment No. 193 TS 6.13-1 10/31/2007 6.13 HIGH RADIATION AREA
- a. In lieu of the "control device" or "alarm signal" required by Paragraph 20.1601(a) of 10 CFR Part 20,each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is >
100 mrem/hr, but <
1000 mrem/hr, shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a radiation work permit (RWP).(1) Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shall be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the following.
- 1. A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the radiation dose rate in the area. 2. A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received. Entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate level in the area has been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them.
- 3. A health physics qualified individual (i.e., qualified in radiation protection procedures) with a radiation dose rate monitoring device who is responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the facility health physicist in the RWP.
- b. In addition to the requirements of 6.13.a., areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose >
1000 mrem shall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the shift manager on duty and/or health physics supervision. Doors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved RWP which shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work area and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area.
For individual areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels such that a major portion of the body could receive in one hour a dose >
1000 mrem(2) that are located within large areas, such as PWR containment, where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the individual areas, then that area shall be roped off, conspicuously posted and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device. In lieu of the stay time specification of the RWP, direct or remote (such as use of closed circuit TV cameras) continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities within the area.
(1) Health Physics personnel or personnel escorted by Health Physics personnel shall be exempt from the RWP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned radiation protection duties, provided they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into high radiation areas.
(2) Measurement made at 30 centimeters from source of radioactivity.

A02 M01 L01 L02 M02 A02 M01 Pag e 2 of 2 DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.7, HIGH RADIATION AREA Kewaunee Power Station Page 1 of 5 ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES A01 In the conversion of the Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Current Technical Specifications (CTS) to the plant specific Improved Technical Specifications (ITS), certain changes (wording preferences, editorial changes, reformatting, revised numbering, etc.) are made to obtain consistency with NUREG
-1431, Rev. 3.0, "Standard Technical Specifications
-Westinghouse Plants" (ISTS).
These changes are designated as administrative changes and are acceptable because they do not result in technical changes to the CTS.
A02 CTS 6.13.a applies for control of entry into high radiation areas in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem/hr but less than 1000 mrem/hr.
CTS 6.13.b applies for control of entry into high radiation areas in which a major part of the body could receive a dose greater than 1000 mrem/hr and is clarified by Footnote (2) that measurement is made at 30 centimeters from the source of radioactivity. ITS 5.7.1 applies to controls for high radiation areas with dose rates not exceeding 1.0 rem/hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface penetrated by the radiation. ITS 5.7.2 applies to controls for high radiation areas with dose rates greater than 1.0 rem/hour at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface penetrated by the radiation, but less than 500 rads/hr at one meter from a radiation source or any surface through which radiation penetrates. This changes the CTS by deleting the reference to a high radiation area having radiation intensity in excess of
100 mrem/hr and adds the criteria of, "at 30 centimeters from the radiation source or from any surface penetrated by the radiation" to the parameter 1000 mrem/hr.
These changes are acceptable because the 100 mrem/hr to less than 500 rads/hr definition for a high radiation area is already addressed by 10 CFR 20.1003, and the method of measuring the 1000 mrem/hr is clarified in terms of being measured from a point source and from a surface. This change is designated administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.
MORE RESTRICTIVE CHANGES M01 CTS 6.13.a, in reference to entrance into a high radiation area states "-entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP)." CTS 6.13.b states, in part, "-access by personnel under an approved RWP which shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work area and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area." ITS 5.7.1.b and 5.7.2.b state, "Access to, and activities in, each such area shall be controlled by means of Radiation Work Permit (RWP) or equivalent that includes specification of radiation dose rates in the immediate work area(s) and other appropriate radiation protection equipment and measures." This changes the CTS by specifying certain information is required to be in the RWP or equivalent. The addition of the option to use a means equivalent to the RWP is addressed in DOC L01.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.7, HIGH RADIATION AREA Kewaunee Power Station Page 2 of 5 The purpose of the RWP requirement in CTS 6.13.a and CTS 6.13.b is to ensure personnel entering a high radiation area have the information necessary to work safely in those areas from a radiation standpoint. This change is acceptable because it states specific information to be included in the RWP to accomplish the same goal, and requiring issuance of the RWP with the required information makes the information available. These changes are designated as more restrictive because additional information to be included in the RWP is required.
M02 CTS 6.13.a.2 states that one of the optional criteria that allows entry into a high radiation area is a radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received. It further states that entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate level in the area has been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them.
ITS 5.7.1.e and ITS 5.7.2.e include a similar requirement, but also require that the continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre
-job briefing prior to entry into such areas, and that the dose rate determination, knowledge, and pre
-job briefing do not require documentation prior to initial entry.
This changes the CTS by expanding the requirement to apply to all the options for conditions allowing entry into a high radiation area, and adding the criteria that the continuously escorted personnel will receive a pre
-job briefing prior to entry into such areas and that the dose rat e determination, knowledge, and pre
-job briefing do not require documentation prior to initial entry.
The purpose of the second sentence in CTS 6.13.a.2 is to ensure personnel entering high radiation areas are aware of dose rates in the area. The propose d
addition further ensures that a pre
-job brief is conducted. This change is acceptable because it provides additional guidance to ensure personnel are aware of the relevant dose rates. This change is designated as more restrictive because additional criteria are added to the requirements for entering a high radiation area.
RELOCATED SPECIFICATIONS
None
REMOVED DETAIL CHANGES
LA01 (Type 3 - Removing Procedural Details for Meeting TS Requirements or Reporting Requirements) CTS 6.13 Footnote (1) uses the title "Health Physics personnel." ITS 5.7.1.c and 5.7.2.c uses the generic title "Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures." This changes the CTS by moving the specific KPS organizational title to the appropriate plant procedures and replacing them with generic titles.
The removal of these details, which are related to meeting Technical Specification requirements, from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. The DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.7, HIGH RADIATION AREA Kewaunee Power Station Page 3 of 5 allowance to relocate the specific KPS organizational titles is out of the Technical Specifications is consistent the allowance already provided in CTS 6.13. Also, this change is acceptable because the removed information will be adequately controlled in the appropriate procedures. Since ITS 5.4.1.a covers radiation protection procedures, any changes to the procedures are made under
10 CFR 50.59, which ensures changes are properly evaluated. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of detail change because information related to meeting Technical Specification requirements are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
LESS RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
L01 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) CTS 6.13.a states, for high radiation areas, "-entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a Radiation Work Permit (RWP)." CTS 6.13.b also references use of an RWP when personnel access certain high radiation areas. ITS 5.7.1.b and ITS 5.7.2.b state, for high radiation areas, "Access to, and activities in, each such area shall be controlled by means of Radiation Work Permit (RWP) or equivalent (emphasis added) that includes specification of radiation dose rates in the immediate work area(s) and other appropriate radiation protection equipment and measures." This changes the CTS by allowing an equivalent document to be used for access control. The addition of details required in the RWP is addressed by DOC M01.
The purpose of the specified phrase in CTS 6.13.a and 6.13.bis to designate the document through which access is controlled to the specified high radiation areas. This change is acceptable because a proper document is still requir ed, but it may serve the same purpose as an RWP without having to be specifically called an RWP. This change is designated a less restrictive because an alternate document may be used for access control in lieu of an RWP.
L02 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements)
CTS 6.13.a.2 states that entry a high radiation area when using a radiation monitoring device that continuously integrates the dose and alarms at a preset dose can be made only after the dose rate in the area has been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them. ITS 5.7.1.e and 5.7.2.e allows entry without this specific requirement provided the individuals are qualified in radiation protection procedures or the individuals are continuously escorted by an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures. This changes the CTS by allowing individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures or by individuals that are continuously escorted by an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures to enter a
high radiation area using a radiation monitoring device that continuously integrates the dose and alarms at a preset dose prior to knowing the dose rate in the area.
The purpose of CTS 6.13.a.2 is to provide adequate protection such that individuals entering high radiation areas will not exceed predetermined dose limits. However, allowing entry prior to knowing the actual dose rates can reduce the overall dose received by personnel, since it reduces the total number of personnel that have to enter the area. The current requirements require an individual to first enter the area and determine the dose rates prior to the DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.7, HIGH RADIATION AREA Kewaunee Power Station Page 4 of 5 individual(s) that actually need to enter the area to perform work. Thus, an additional person receives a dose, above what is needed to actually perform the work. Allowing an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures to enter the area prior to knowing the dose would reduce the overall dose received by site personnel, while still ensuring that personnel are adequately protected (since at least one individual making the initial entry must be trained in radiation protection procedures). Therefore this change is considered acceptable. This change is designated as less restrictive because the ITS will allow entry into a high
radiation area under certain conditions without knowing the specific dose rate in the area. L03 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) ITS 5.7.1.d.3 and 5.7.2.d.2 state that one of the options for devices an individual or group shall possess for radiation monitoring when entering a high radiation area is "A radiation monitoring device that continuously transmits dose rate and cumulative dose information to a remote receiver monitored by radiation protection personnel responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure within the area." ITS 5.7.2.d.2 also requires a means to communicate with and control every individual in the area. CTS 6.13.a and 6.13.b do not contain these options for an individual or group. This changes the CTS by providing an additional device an individual entering these high radiation areas must possess for radiation monitoring.
The purpose of ITS 5.7.1.d.3 and ITS 5.7.2.d.2 is to provide appropriate alternate means for monitoring the exposure of personnel in the respective high radiation areas. This change is acceptable because the means specified provide reliable means of monitoring personnel exposure. This change is designated as less restrictive because a new alternative for measuring personnel dose of personnel in high radiation areas has been provided.
L04 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) CTS 6.13.a.3 states that one of the optional criteria that allow entry into a high radiation area is "An individual qualified in radiation protection procedures who is equipped with a radiation dose rate monitoring device. This individual shall be responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the facility Health Physicist in the Radiation Work Permit.
" CTS 6.13.b allows that in lieu of the stay time requirements of the RWP, direct or remote continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities within the area. ITS 5.7.1.d.4 states "A self reading dosimeter (e.g., pocket ionization chamber or electronic dosimeter) and, (i) be under the surveillance, as specified in the RWP or equivalent, while in the area, of an individual qualified in radiation protection procedures, equipped with a radiation monitoring device that continuously displays radiation dose rates in the area; who is responsible for controlling personnel exposure within the area, or (ii) be under the surveillance as specified in the RWP or equivalent, while in the area, by means of closed circuit television, of personnel qualified in radiation protection procedures, responsible for controlling personnel radiation exposure in the area, and with the means to communicate with individuals in the area who are covered by such surveillance." ITS 5.7.2.d.3 reads the same as ITS 5.7.1.d.4, except the last phrase, "communicate with individuals in the area who are covered by such surveillance," is replaced with the phrase, DISCUSSION OF CHANGES ITS 5.7, HIGH RADIATION AREA Kewaunee Power Station Page 5 of 5 "communicate with and control every individual in the area." This changes the CTS by deleting the discussion of positive controls over activities and performing radiation surveillances with a requirement for the monitoring device to have continuous dose rate displays and the responsibility to control dose rates in the area and adds an option to perform the monitoring of personnel remotely using the specified equipment and processes for a high radiation area < 1000 mrem/hr
. It further changes the CTS by specifying the individual has a self
-reading pocket dosimeter when using this option.
The purpose of 6.13.a.3 is to provide the option of monitoring the exposure of individuals in high radiation areas by a separate individual qualified in radiatio n procedures. This change is acceptable because it provides adequate means of monitoring the personnel in the high radiation areas, but provides added flexibility for how to do it. This change is designated as less restrictive because additional methods for monitoring personnel exposure are provided.
L05 (Category 1 - Relaxation of LCO Requirements) ITS 5.7.2.d.4 permits the use of a radiation monitoring device that continuously displa ys radiation dose rates in the area when ITS 5.7.2.d.2 and ITS 5.7.2.d.3 are impractical or determined to be inconsistent with the "As Low As is Reasonably Achievable" principle.
CTS 6.13.a and 6.13.b do not contain this option. This changes the CTS by providing an additional option for devices an individual entering these high radiation areas must use to control radiation dose. The purpose of ITS 5.7.2.d.4 is to provide appropriate alternate means for monitoring the exposure of personnel in the respective high radiation areas. This change is acceptable because the means specified provide reliable means of monitoring personnel exposure. This change is designated as less restrictive because a new alternative for measuring personnel dose of personnel in high radiation areas has been provided.

CTS 6.0 Page 11 of 11 LA06 DISCUSSION OF CHANGES CTS 6.0, ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS Kewaunee Power Station Page 1 of 5 ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES A01 CTS 6.9.b.3 states, in part, that special reports may be required and that the special reports are required to be submitted to the NRC. The ITS does not requires these special reports to be prepared and submitted. This changes the CTS by deleting the references to the CTS Specifications requiring special reports. Justification for disposition of each of the special report requirements is addressed by the Discussion of Change for the respective ITS or CTS Specification.
The purpose of CTS 6.9.b.3 is to identify that special reports may be required to be submitted. This change is acceptable because the special reports are no longer required. Justification for disposition of each of the special report requirements is addressed by the Discussion of Change for the respective ITS or CTS Specification. This change is designated as administrative because it does not result in technical changes to the CTS.
MORE RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
None RELOCATED SPECIFICATIONS
None REMOVED DETAIL CHANGES
LA01 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or other TS Requirement to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, ISI Program, or Setpoint Control Program) CTS 6.4 states that a retraining and replacement training program for the Plant Staff shall be maintained and shall meet or exceed the requirements and recommendations of Section 5.5 of ANSI-N18.1-1971 and 10 CFR Part 55. ITS Chapter 5.0 does not require such a program. This changes the CTS by moving the requirements for the retraining and replacement training program to the USAR.
The removal of these details from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this information is not necessary to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. These training provisions are adequately addressed by other ITS Chapter 5.0 provisions and by regulations. ITS 5.3, "Unit Staff Qualifications," provides requirements to ensure adequate, competent staff in accordance with ANSI N 18.1-1971 and Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 1-R, September 1975. ITS 5.2 details the organization requirements. ITS 5.2.2.a, 5.2.2.b, and 10 CFR 50.54 state the minimum shift crew requirements. Training and requalification of NRC licensed positions is contained in 10 CFR 50.55.
Placement of training requirements in the USAR will ensure that training programs are properly maintained in accordance with Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) commitments and applicable regulations.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES CTS 6.0, ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS Kewaunee Power Station Page 2 of 5 LA02 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or other TS Requirement to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, ISI Program, or Setpoint Control Program) CTS 6.11.a provides requirements for the Radiation Protection Program procedures. The ITS does not include these requirements. This changes the CTS by moving the requirements for the Radiation Protection Program to the USAR.
The removal of these requirements from the Technical Specification is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. The Radiation Protection Program requires procedures to be prepared for personnel radiation protection consistent with 10 CFR 20. These procedures are for nuclear plant personnel and have no impact on nuclear safety or the health and safety of the public. Requirements to have procedures to implement 10 CFR 20 are contained in 10 CFR 20.11.01(b). Periodic review of these procedures is addressed in 10 CFR 20.1101(c). Since Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Operating License requires compliance with 10 CFR 20, there is no need to repeat the requirements in the ITS. As such, the relocated details are not required to be in the ITS to provide adequate protection of the public health and safety. Also, this change is acceptable because these details will be adequately controlled in the USAR. Any changes to the USAR are made under 10 CFR 50.59 or 10 CFR 50.71(e), which ensures changes are properly evaluated. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of detail change because details for meeting Technical Specification and regulatory requirements are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
LA03 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or Other TS Requirement to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, ISI Program, or Setpoint Control Program) CTS 6.11.b, "Iodine Monitoring," describes a program to ensure the capability to accurately determine the airborne in-plant iodine concentration under accident conditions. ITS 5.5 does not include this program.
This changes the CTS by moving the requirements for the Iodine Monitoring Program to the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM).
The removal of this requirement from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. The CTS 6.11.b program is designed to minimize radiation exposure to plant personnel in the plant after an accident, and has no impact on nuclear safety or the health and safety of the public. This change is acceptable because the program requirements will be adequately controlled in the TRM. The TRM is incorporated by reference into the USAR and any changes to the TRM are made under 10 CFR 50.59, which ensures changes are properly evaluated. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of requirement change because requirements are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
LA04 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or other TS Requirement to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, ISI Program, or Setpoint Control Program) CTS 6.16.b.2, "Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program provides a program to monitor the radiation and radionuclides in the environs of the plant. ITS Chapter 5.0 does not require such a program. This DISCUSSION OF CHANGES CTS 6.0, ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS Kewaunee Power Station Page 3 of 5 changes the CTS by moving the requirements for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
The purpose of CTS 6.16.b.2 is to provide representative measurements of radioactivity in the highest potential exposure pathways, and verification of the accuracy of the effluent monitoring program and modeling of environmental exposure pathways. The removal of the requirements for this program from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. ITS 5.6.1 still requires an annual report of the results of the "Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program." Also, this change is acceptable because these requirements will be adequately controlled in the ODCM. Changes to the ODCM are controlled by the ODCM change control process in ITS 5.5.1, which ensures changes are properly evaluated.
This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of requirement change because the requirements for a program are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
LA05 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or other TS Requirements to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, ISI Program, or Setpoint Control Program) CTS Definition 1.0.o.3 contains the definition for the Process Control Program (PCP). CTS 6.16.a.1 requires written procedures for the PCP. CTS 6.17 describes the control for changes to the PCP. The ITS does not include these requirements. This changes the CTS by moving the requirements of the PCP to the USAR.
The removal of these requirements from the Technical Specifications is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. The PCP implements the requirements of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR 61, and 10 CFR 71. Compliance with these regulations is required by Kewaunee Power Station (KPS) Operating Licenses, and procedures are the method to ensure compliance with the program. Regulations provide an adequate level of control for the affected requirements and inclusion of this requirement in the Technical Specification is not necessary. Also, this change is acceptable because these details will be adequately controlled in the USAR. Any changes to the USAR are made under 10 CFR 50.59 or 10 CFR 50.71(e), which ensures changes are properly evaluated. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of requirements because details for meeting Technical Specification and regulatory requirements are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
LA06 (Type 4 - Removal of LCO, SR, or other TS Requirement to the TRM, USAR, ODCM, NFQAPD, CLRT Program, IST Program, ISI Program, or Setpoint Control Program) CTS 6.19 requires reporting major modifications to the liquid, gaseous, and solid radwaste treatment system to the Commission as part of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report and explains what needs to be included in the report and the approval process. The ITS does not contain this requirement.
This changes the CTS by moving the requirement for reporting major modifications to the liquid, gaseous, and solid radwaste treatment system to the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES CTS 6.0, ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS Kewaunee Power Station Page 4 of 5 The removal of these requirements from the Technical Specification is acceptable because this type of information is not necessary to be included in the Technical Specifications to provide adequate protection of public health and safety. This change is based on Generic Letter 89-01 which provides guidance on the removal of the Radiological Environmental Technical Specifications from the Technical Specifications. Also, this change is acceptable because these requirements will be adequately controlled in the ODCM. Changes to the ODCM are controlled by the ODCM change control process in ITS 5.5.1, which ensures changes are properly evaluated. This change is designated as a less restrictive removal of requirement change because the requirements for a program are being removed from the Technical Specifications.
LESS RESTRICTIVE CHANGES
L01 (Category 8 - Deletion of Reporting Requirements) CTS 6.9.a.1 contains requirements for submitting a report of plant startup and power escalation testing following receipt of an operating license; amendments to the license involving planned increases in power level; installation of fuel that has a different fuel supplier; and modifications that may have significantly altered the nuclear, thermal, or hydraulic performance of the unit. The ITS does not contain such reporting requirements. This changes the CTS by deleting the requirements for CTS 6.9.a.1.
The purpose of CTS 6.9.a.1 is to provide a summary of plant startup and power escalation testing following the four specified conditions as verification that the unit operated as expected. This change is acceptable because the regulations provide adequate requirements. If there were any plant conditions outside the expected parameters during plant startup, they would be reported to the NRC if they met the reporting requirements in the regulations. Otherwise, the reports would document that the unit operated as expected and already approved by the NRC, as required by regulation. This change is designated as less restrictive because reports that would be submitted under CTS will not be required under the ITS. L02 (Category 8 - Deletion of Reporting Requirements)
CTS 6.9.a.2 requires annual reporting of information regarding any instances when the I-131 specific activity limit for the primary coolant is exceeded. ITS 5.6 does not contain any requirements for such a report. This changes the CTS by not including the requirements for the annual reporting of instances when the Technical Specification I-131 specific activity limit for the primary coolant is exceeded.
The purpose of CTS 6.9.a.2 is to specify the requirement for submitting information regarding any instances when the Technical Specification I-131 specific activity limit for the primary coolant is exceeded in an annual report. This change is acceptable because the regulations provide adequate details of reporting requirements, and the reporting of exceeding the I-131 limit does not affect continued plant operation. Operations or conditions prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications are required to be reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73. Subsequent reports would be provided if necessary, without requiring a specific annual report. This change is designated as less restrictive DISCUSSION OF CHANGES CTS 6.0, ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS Kewaunee Power Station Page 5 of 5 because reports that would be submitted under the CTS will not be required under the ITS.
