2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
One of the reasons air filtration and adsorption systems are required at nuclear power plants is to lower the concentration of airborne radioactive material that may be released from the site to the environment due to a design basis event. Lowering the concentration of airborne radioactive materials can mitigate doses to plant operators and members of the public in the event of a design basis event. A typical system consists of ventilation ductwork, fans, dampers, valves, instrumentation, prefilters or demisters, high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, heaters, and activated charcoal adsorbers.
These systems are tested by operating the systems and monitoring the response of the overall system as well as individual components.
Enclosure Laboratory tests of charcoal adsorbers are also performed to ensure the charcoal adsorbs an acceptable amount of radioactive gasses. Current testing requirements for the air filtration and adsorption systems state that the systems should be operated for at least 10 continuous hours with heaters operating every 31 days for SR 3.6.4.3.1 and 31 days on a staggered test basis for SR 3.7.3.1. These requirements are based on NRC staff guidance for testing air filtration and adsorption systems that has been superseded.
The latest NRC staff guidance states at least 15 continuous minutes of ventilation system operation with heaters operating every 31 days is acceptable to justify operability of the system and all its components.
The licensee has proposed revising SRs which currently require operating the ventilation system for at least 10 continuous hours with the heaters operating every 31 days for SR 3.6.4.3.1 and 31 days on a staggered test basis for SR 3.7.3.1. The SRs would be changed to require at least 15 continuous minutes of ventilation system operation every 31 days. The regulatory requirements for design and testing of these systems are contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.67, and Part 100, as well as, Part 50, Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," General Design Criteria 19, 41, 42, 43, and 61. Fermi 2's updated final safety analysis report section 3.0, "Conformance with General Design Criteria/'
states that the design of Fermi 2 is in accordance with and satisfies the General Design Criteria.
Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.52, Revision 2, "Design, Testing, and Maintenance Criteria for Post-Accident Engineered-Safety-Feature Atmosphere Cleanup System Air Filtration and Adsorbtion Units of Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants" (ADAMS Accession No. ML003740139) was published in March 1978 to provide guidance and criteria acceptable to the NRC staff for licensees to implement the regulations in 10 CFR related to air filtration and adsorption systems. Regulatory Position 4.d of Revision 2 of RG 1.52 stated that "Each ESF [engineered safety feature] atmosphere cleanup train should be operated at least 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> per month, with the heaters on (if so equipped), in order to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters." The purpose of this position is to minimize the moisture content in the system and thereby enhance efficiency in the event the system is called upon to perform its design basis function.
SRs 3.6.4.3.1 and 3.7.3.1 currently require operating the heaters in the respective ventilation and filtering systems for at least 10 continuous hours every 31 days and 31 days on a staggered test basis, respectively.
The current STS Bases explain that operation of heaters for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> would eliminate moisture on the charcoal adsorbers and HEPA filters. Subsequently, the NRC staff was informed that 10 continuous hours of system operation would dry out the charcoal adsorber for a brief period of time but, following heater de-energization.
the level of moisture accumulation in adsorbers would rapidly return to the pre-test level. The NRC staff found this information persuasive and subsequently issued NRC Generic Letter (GL) 99-02: "Laboratory Testing of Nuclear-Grade Activated Charcoal" (ADAMS Accession No. ML082350935 and errata sheet at Accession No. ML031110094).
GL 99-02 requested licensees to confirm their charcoal testing protocols accurately reflect the adsorber gaseous
-3 activity capture capability.
GL 99-02 also requested the licensees to account for the effects of moisture accumulation in adsorbers.
The NRC staff updated RG 1.52 to include the new information (ADAMS Accession No. ML011710176).
RG 1.52, Revision 3, Regulatory Position 6.1, states, "Each ESF atmosphere cleanup train should be operated continuously for at least 15 minutes each month, with the heaters on (if so equipped), to justify the operability of the system and all its components." One of the reasons for the previous 10-hour requirement for ventilation system operation with heaters operating was to minimize the effects of moisture on the adsorber's ability to capture gaseous activity.
However, these effects are already accounted for in the Ventilation Filter Testing Program by performing testing at a relative humidity of 70 percent with heaters in operation.
The Fermi 2 TS 5.5.7 Ventilation Filter Testing Program requires testing charcoal adsorbers in a manner to account for the effects of moisture on the adsorber's ability to capture gaseous activity.
The NRC's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TS are contained in 10 CFR 50.36. The regulations at 10 CFR 50.36 require that the TS include items in the following categories:
(1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation (LCOs); (3) SRs; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.
SRs are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the LCOs will be met. The NRC's guidance for the format and content of licensee TSs can be found in NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric Plants BWRl4." 3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's proposed change against the applicable regulatory guidance in RG 1.52, Revision 3, guidance in the STS as modified by TSTF-522, and the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36. The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's proposed change against the applicable regulatory guidance in RG 1.52, Revision 3. The proposed change would require at least 15 minutes of system operation.
The NRC staff found that the proposed change is consistent with guidance in RG 1.52, Revision 3. The NRC staff evaluated the licensee's proposed change against the applicable regulatory guidance in the STS, as modified by TSTF-522.
The proposed change adopted the TS format and content, to the extent practicable, contained in the changes made to NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications General Electric Plants BWRl4" by TSTF-522.
The NRC staff found that the proposed change is consistent with guidance in the STS, as modified by TSTF-522.
The NRC staff compared the proposed change to the existing SRs, as well as the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36. The existing SRs provide assurance that the necessary quality of ventilation systems and components will be maintained and that the LCOs will be met. The proposed change reduces the amount of required system operational time from 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> to 15 minutes. The 10-hour operational requirement for heaters was based on using the SR to eliminate moisture in the adsorbers and thus ensure the adsorbers would capture gaseous activity.
As discussed in Section 2.0, the effects of moisture on the adsorber's ability to capture gaseous activity are now accounted for in the licensee's Ventilation Filter Testing Program by performing testing at a relative humidity of 70 percent with heaters in operation.
Since the SRs are no longer relied upon to ensure the effects of moisture on the ad sorber's ability to capture gaseous activity are accounted for, the 10-hour heater operational requirement is unnecessary.
The NRC staff found that reducing the required minimum system operation time to 15 minutes, consistent with RG 1.52, Revision 3, in conjunction with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program, is sufficient to justify operability of the system and all its components.
The NRC staff found that the proposed SRs meet the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 because they provide assurance that the necessary quality of ventilation systems and components will be maintained and that the LCOs will be met. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed change acceptable.
The regulation at 10 CFR 50.36 states: "A summary statement of the bases or reasons for such specifications
... shall also be included in the application, but shall not become part of the technical specifications." The licensee may make changes to the TS Bases without prior NRC staff review and approval in accordance with the TS Bases Control Program TS 5.5.10. Accordingly, along with the proposed TS changes, the licensee also submitted TS Bases changes corresponding to the proposed TS changes. The NRC staff determined that TS Bases changes are consistent with the proposed TS changes and provide the purpose for each requirement in the specification consistent with the Commission's "Final Policy Statement on Technical Specifications Improvements for Nuclear Power Reactors," dated July 22, 1993 (58 FR 39132).
