SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM The following summary describes the changes from Revision 4 to Revision 5 of the Surry Power Station Unit 1 Inservice Testing (IST) Program Plan. In addition to describing the changes to the program, the summary indicates the approval mechanism for each relief request given in Sections 3.6 and 4.6.
Revision 4 was submitted on September 30, 1988. Two letters dated February 22, 1989 and January 17, 1990 (Serial Numbers89-084 and 89-860) proposing changes to the IST Program were subsequently submitted. Based on the September 30, 1988 submittal and the two letters, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation Report (SER), which was received on August 31, 1990. The SER approved the requests for relief submitted to that date, with certain exceptions. Two letters dated November 28 and 30, 1990 (Serial Numbers90-546 and 90-546A) were submitted to address these exceptions. More changes to the IST Program were submitted by letters dated January 24, 1991 (Serial Number 90-797) and July 12, 1991 (Serial Number 91-312B). The summary given below presents all changes to the IST Program from Revision 4, dated September 30, 1988, and identifies the corresponding letter if the change had been previously submitted.
- The descriptions of changes apply to like components for the Surry Power Station Unit 2 Inservice Testing Program Plan, from Revision 2, dated September 30, 1988 to Revision 3. Additional changes which apply only to the Unit 2 program are provided at the end of the summary for each section. Revision changes are highlighted by a revision bar in the right hand margins of the IST Program Plans.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM The January 24, 1991 letter added a request to reduce the frequency of testing from quarterly to once every two years and to reduce the pump run time from five minutes to two minutes. The January 24 relief request has been incorporated into Revision 5 of this program. Relief Request P-4 was approved by the NRC per their letter dated July 31, 1991.
1-RS-P-lA,B Inlet pressure will be calculated from reservoir level as explained in Relief Request P-5.
Interim Relief Request P-18, which was submitted to the NRC by letter dated July 12, 1991, is no longer necessary and is being withdrawn.

. 'B Interim Relief Request P-18, which was submitted to the NRC by letter dated July 12, 1991, is no longer necessary and is being withdrawn.
- Relief Request P-19 is being submitted to address the problem of adjusting the flow rate to match the reference flow rate.
During testing of the component cooling water pumps, flow is adjusted to the reference flow rate using an 18 inch butterfly valve. The butterfly valve is a crude throttling device and does not provide the level of control that is required to duplicate the reference flow rate from test to test. Consequently, throttling to the same reference flow rate

l-CH-P-2A,B With the installation of inlet pressure and flow instrumentation, inlet and differential pressure and flow can be measured every quarter. Interim Relief Request P-9, which was submitted by letter dated November 28, 1990, is being withdrawn.
Relief Request P-21 was added to Revision 5 for these pumps and addresses the requirement for the inlet pressure gauge full scale range be less than three times the reference value.
The next section describes the basis and*
alternate testing given in Relief Request P-21.
1-SW-P-lA,B,C Relief Request P-11 was revised to delete reference to installing instrumentation and to place the contents of the note regarding inlet pressure into the body of the relief
- request. Flow and discharge instrumentation was installed in 1991.
According to the SER, calculating inlet pressure from the river level meets the intent of the Code requirements provided the accuracy of this technique is within the limitations of Section XI, Table IWP-4110-1.
Therefore, this portion of Relief Request P-11 has been approved by the NRC.
The use of a reference pump curve instead of using reference points on the curve has been added to the request in Revision 5.
1-EE-P-lA,D,F With the installation of inlet pressure and flow instrumentation, inlet and differential pressure and flow can be measured every quarter. Relief Request P-12 is being withdrawn.
These pumps are non-Code pumps and do not require submittal of a request for relief if certain provisions of the Code cannot be met.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION !ST PROGRAM by letter dated March 22, 1991. On November 5, 1991, the NRC staff requested additional information. Relief Request P-17 was resubmitted on February 26, 1992 and approved by NRC letter dated June 26, 1992.
3.6 PUMP TEST PROGRAM RELIEF REQUEST The following summarizes the changes to the relief requests since Revision 4. It also contains a description o*f the approval mechanism for each relief request. That is, the summary indicates whether the approval is: *
- 1) through a position in Generic Letter 89-04,
- 3) obtained using a relief request that will need approval by a specific date *
- The relief requests marked with an asterisk* need approval by the NRC.
Unit 1 Relief Request Comment P-1 A minimum value of 0.05 in/sec for the vibration reference value was established for velocity measurements. This change to Relief Request P-1 was submitted by letter to the NRC dated February 22, 1989 (Serial Number 89-084). This change was approved by the NRC in the SER. A three year limit was placed on the use of this minimum limit.
P-2 With the installation of inlet pressure and flow instrumentation, inlet and differential pressure and flow can be measured every quarter. Interim Relief Request P-2, which was submitted by letter dated November 28, 1990, is being withdrawn.
P-3 With the installation of inlet pressure instrumentation for pumps 1-SI-P-lA and B, inlet
- and differential pressure can be measured every quarter. Relief Request P-3 is being withdrawn.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM P-4 Relief from measuring inlet pressure was submitted for pumps 1-RS-P-2A and B by letter to the NRC dated November JO, 1990. Inlet pressure will be calculated from the water level in the pump pit.
Approval for this request for relief was granted
- by the NRC by letter dated March 15, 1991.
Relief Request P-4 was revised and resubmitted by letter to the NRC dated January 24, 1991. In addition to not measuring inlet pressure, the revised relief request changes the pump run time prior to taking measurements from five minutes to two minutes. This is justified by the limited inventory in the test loop.
Also, the frequency of testing was changed from quarterly to once every two years. For pumps lacking required fluid inventory, (e.g., pumps in dry sumps), a two year test interval is allowed by ANSI/ASME OM (Part 6), An American Standard In-Service Testing of Pumps. The outside
- recirculation spray pumps are maintained dry
- Approval for the changes presented in the January 24, 1991 letter was granted by the NRC by letter dated July 31, 1991.
In Revision 5, reference to maintaining the pumps dry was replaced by a more exact description of the state of the system during normal operation.
The outside recirculation spray system lacks fluid inventory during normal operation except for some primary grade water trapped in the bottom of pump pit. The portions of the pump exposed to this standing water are made of stainless steel and are not subject to corrosion.
P-5* Revision 4 of Relief Request P-5 was approved in the NRC's SER. In Revision 5, the request for relief was changed to state that inlet pressure will be calculated from the sump level. The inside recirculation pumps are designed to take suction from a sump. Therefore, measurement of inlet pr~ssure is not practical. Calculating inlet pressure based on reservoir level for deep draft pumps is an acceptable method according to the NRC as evidenced by the approval in the SER of

Also, reference to the high vibration detector and observing the vibration detector in the control room during the quarterly dry bump testing was deleted from the alternative testing section.
This removes any concern that reference to observing this detector could be construed to mean that the vibration detector is subject to the instrumentation requirements of Subsection IWP.
This vibration detector is part of the system design and was never intended to satisfy Subsection IWP requirements. There is no reduction in safety by eliminating this reference from the relief request.
In addition, the phrase "run dry" was replaced by "bump tested." There is no need to run the pump longer than the time it takes to verify that the pump shaft rotates. This change clarifies the type of test being performed .
- P-6 With the installation of fully instrumented test loops, pumps 1-FW-P-2, JA and B can be tested every quarter. Relief Request P-6 is being withdrawn.
Revision 4 of Relief Request P-7 for pumps 1-RH-P-1A and B was approved in the NRC's SER. In Revision 5, reference to installing differential pressure gauges was added to the relief request.
With the differential pressure gauge installation, inlet pressure will no longer be measured. The change in Revision 5 needs approval from the NRC.
P-9 With the installation of inlet pressure and flow instrumentation, inlet and differential pressure, and flow can be measured every quarter. Interim Relief Request P-9, which was submitted by letter dated November 28, 1990, is being withdrawn.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM According to the NRC's SER, calculating inlet pressure from the river level meets the intent of the Code requirements provided the accuracy of this technique is within the limitations of Section XI, Table IWP-4110-1. Therefore, this portion of Relief Request P-11 has been approved by the NRC.
The emergency service water pumps.take suction from the James river and discharge into the intake cannel. The James river near the plant is subject to a tide level variation of approximately five feet. Therefore, the total static head for the system can vary from test to test. There are no valves in the lines to throttle flow and to compensate for the change in system static head.
The only way to duplicate flow and differential*
pressure from test to test is to perform the test at the same tide level each time. Trying to perform this test within a small enough tide level range to produce repeatable results has proven impractical *
- To compensate for the change in total system head, a pump referenpe curve will be prepared based on test results taken at different tide levels.
Tests will be conducted within the tide level limits of the curve, and results will be compared to acceptance criteria based on the reference curve and the ranges given in Table IWP-3100-2.
The use of a reference pump curve instead of using reference points on the curve needs to be approved by the NRC.
P-12 With the installation of fully instrumented test loops, pumps 1-EE-P-1A, D and F can be tested every quarter. Relief Request P-12 is being withdrawn.
No flow or inlet pressure instrumentation is installed for the main control room and emergency switchgear room air condition system pumps 1-vs-P-lA, B or c. Until instrumentation is installed, the alternative testing described in Interim Relief Request P-16 will be performed.

- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM information. Interim Relief Request P-16 was resubmitted on February 26, 1992 and approved by NRC letter dated June 26, 1992.
P-17 Total pump flow for pumps 1-VS-P-2A, Band C is determined by summing the recorded flows from four instruments placed in a parallel configuration.
Also, test flow is controlled by throttling with a gate valve, which has proven to be a crude flow control device. Having to throttle to a specific reference flow using the sum of flows from four instruments with a gate valve that is not suited for fine flow control is not practical.
A straight l'ine approximation of the pump curve will be prepared based on two reference test points. Subsequent tests will be conducted within the flow range of the points, and results will be compared to acceptance criteria based on the reference curve and the ranges given in Table IWP-3100-2.
- Relief Request P-17 was submitted to the NRC by letter dated March 22, 1991 needs approval by the NRC. On November 5, 1991, the NRC staff requested more information. Interim Relief Request P-16 was resubmitted on February 26, 1992 and approved by NRC letter dated June 26, 1992.
P-18 This interim relief request was submitted to the NRC by letter dated July 12, 1991 and it dealt with flow instrumentation that exceeded the Code required accuracy of+/- 2%. This relief request is no longer necessary and is being withdrawn.
P-19* puring testing of the component cooling water pumps 1-CC-P-lA and B, flow is adjusted to the reference flow rate using an 18 inch butterfly valve. The butterfly valve is a crude throttling device and does not provide the level of control that is required to duplicate the reference flow rate from test to test. Consequently, throttling to the same reference flow rate during each test is not practical.
As an alternate test method, two reference points of flow versus differential pressure will be
- established from the reference test for each pump~
A straight line approximation will be used to 10
ATTACHMENT 1
SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM determine differential pressure reference points as a function of flow between the two test points.
During the subsequent tests, test flow will be throttled as close as practical to the reference flow value. The test flow must fall between the two reference points used to establish the straight line approximation. The test flow and the corresponding differential pressure will be compared to either graphical and/or tabular acceptance criteria based on the straight line approximation of the reference pump curve.
If the pump being tested is in operation as a result of plant or system needs, it is unreasonable to reconfigure system lineups just to provide for the measurement of static inlet pressure. Inlet pressure prior to pump startup is not a significant parameter needed for evaluating pump performance or condition.
When performing a test on a pump that is already
- P-21*
in operation, inlet pressure will only be measured during pump operation.
The inlet pressure gauges for the boric acid transfer pumps have a full scale range of Oto 15 psig. The full scale range was determined by evaluating the static pressure reference values present at the suction side of the pumps and applying the three times the reference value requirement of IWP-4120. The static pressures range from 6 to 7 psig.
When the pumps are started, the pressure at the suction side of the pumps drops to approximately 2 psig. Therefore, the inlet pressure gauges do not meet the three times requirement for dynamic inlet pressure.
Using a lower range pressure gauge (i.e. o to 5 psig) would meet the three times requirement for dynamic inlet pressure. However, the lower range gauge could not measure static inlet pressure and the lower range gauges would be repeatedly exposed to an overrange condition (static pressures in excess of 5 psig) which would damage the

ATTACHMENT 1
SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM Using a lower range temporary gauge on a quarterly basis presents a hardship because the process fluid contains boric acid and is contaminated. If contaminated, the temporary instruments would probably become waste material.
However, with the current Oto 15 psig inlet pressure gauges, a differential pressure can be determined that exceeds the accuracy requirements for differential pressure. Each boric acid transfer pump inlet pressure gauge (Oto 15 psig range) and discharge pressure gauge (Oto 150 psig range) has an instrument loop accuracy of 1.59%.
Computing the maximum error for differential pressure using the current instrument configuration yields an error of 2.6 psid.
Computing the Code allowed error for differential pressure for an inlet pressure gauge with a 2%
accuracy and a o to 5 psig range and a discharge pressure instrument with a 2% accuracy and a Oto 150 psig range yields an error of 3.1 psid. With
- the current instrument configuration,- the loop accuracy of each pressure instrument could be as high as 1.8%, which equates to a 2.97 psid error, and still be within the Code allowed error of 3.1 psid for differential pressure. Therefore, for purposes of trending pump degradation using differential pressure and flow, the current instrument is adequate as long as the pressure instrument loop accuracies remain at or below 1.8%.
The inlet pressure gauges with a full scale range of Oto 15 psig will be used to measure both static and dynamic inlet pressures. Also, the loop accuracies for the inlet and discharge pressure gauges will be maintained at or below an accuracy of 1.8% to ensure that the differential pressure error is below that the differential pressure error allowed by the Code.

3.7 ALTERNATIVE TESTING FOR NON-CODE PUMPS This section is being added to deal with non-Code pumps which are in the IST program but cannot be tested to the provisions of the Code. As indicated in the minutes of public meeting on Generic Letter 89-04, a
'request for relief' need not be submitted for these non-Code pumps. Therefore, the alternative tests described in this section are not 'requests for relief' but are provided for information.
- The procedure of providing alternative testing descriptions instead of requests for relief for non-Code components begins with Revision 5. Requests for relief that were approved by the NRC in Revision 4 for non-Code components will remain in place.
Non-Code Alternative Testing Comments PNC-1 The diesel fuel oil transfer pump operating time is limited due to operational restraints. While the diesels are running, these pumps start automatically when the fuel oil level in the day tank reaches the low level switch, and stop when the level reaches the high level switch. The pump run time can vary depending upon the diesel load and the resulting fuel consumption rate. If the pumps are allowed to run for five minutes prior to measuring the test quantities and the fuel consumption rate is low, not enough time is available to gather all of the required Section XI test data.
- The measurement of Section XI quantities will begin when the pump automatically starts on a low 13
ATTACHMENT 1
SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM tank level signal.
The alternative testing for vibration and temperature remains unchanged from Revision 4 and is described in Relief Request P-1.
The diesel fuel oil transfer pumps are positive displacement pumps. One characteristic of positive displacement pumps is that the discharge pressure is independent of inlet pressure.
Therefore, to determine pump degradation, only discharge pressure need be measured and compared to the acceptance criteria. The ASME OM Code-1990, Subsection ISTB, Table ISTB s.2-1, which is replacing Section XI, Subsection IWP, requires that only discharge pressure need be measured for positive displacement pumps.
4.0 VALVE INSERVICE TEST PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 4.1 PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
- The statement, "The requirements of Section XI are not interpreted as superseding or adding to any limiting condition for operation" was deleted.
This program change was submitted by letter to the NRC dated November 28, 1990 4.2 PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION The word "operability" was replaced by "performance."
The new statement reads, "If maintenance cannot be deferred to cold shutdown, then an engineering evaluation must be performed prior to the maintenance being performed to determine the effect on valve performance. If the evaluation shows that the performance of the valve will not be affected, then no post maintenance testing will be required."
The intent of this paragraph is to describe the process for determining the applicability of Section XI, Paragraph IWV-3200 in cases where post maintenance testing cannot be performed before returning a component to service. The burden is on the engineer
- preparing the evaluation to determine that performance is not affected.

The only way to verify closure is to perform a local back pressure test.
They are located inside containment.
Therefore, they cannot be tested every quarter. The small increase in safety gained by testing these valves closed every cold shutdown does not justify the burden of performing a local leak rate/back pressure test on the more frequent interval.

1-CS-105,127 These check valves cannot be tested to the open position by using flow. 1-CS-13 and 24 do have external weight-loaded lever arms. However, the weight position and lever arm angle are subject to adjustment to ensure that the valves open when a pressure differential using air is applied once every refueling cycle as required by T.S. 4.5.C.
Therefore, torque measurements would not be repeatable. Valves 1-CS-105 and 127 do not have lever arms and cannot be externally stroked. These four valves will be disassembled as allowed by Generic Letter 89-04.
Also, valves l-CS-105 and 127 must close in the event that one of the containment spray pumps fails to start. In that
- instance, these valves prevent the running pump from feeding the three spray headers - only its dedicated header and the common header are served.

The NRC letter dated September 26, 1991 entitled, "Supplement to Minutes of the Public Meetings on Generic Letter 89-04," indicates that if the stop check valve must close upon cessation of flow, running the stem down onto the disk is not an adequate test. Alternative test methods are being reviewed by Virginia Electric and Power Company. Also, these valves have remote position indication.

- There is no requirement for the valves to change position to perform their closed function, thus they are passive in the closed position. Also, leakage from the RCS through the valve seats of these valves is inconsequential to the fulfillment of the function of these valves. Any leakage from the RCS will be captured by the letdown system if the path from RHR to normal letdown is open (i.e., 1-RH-HCV-1142 is open during normal operation), or by the PRT if the path is closed and the RHR system relief valve (1-RH-RV-1721) lifts. In either case, the amount of leakage will be contained. For these reasons, leakage

1-SI-88,91,94 1-SI-238,239,240 These check valves provide double isolation between the RCS and the high head safety injection lines. Leakage from the RCS through the valve seats of these valves is inconsequential to the fulfillment of the safety function of these valves. The piping upstream of these valves is capable of retaining RCS pressure and contains an additional check valve and normally closed MOV.
The MOV is Type C tested for leakage in accordance with 10 CFR so, Appendix-J.
Leakage through this series of check valves would find its way to the MOV.
Leakage through the MOV would eventually end up in the charging*pump discharge header. For these reasons, leakage through these valves is not critical to the RCS integrity and these valves
- should be Category c. Also, the alternate testing described in Relief Request V-27 was changed from disassembly to full flow testing using clamp on ultrasonic flow instrumentation every reactor refueling.
Program Change: The ASME category was changed from AC to C, the leakage test requirement was deleted and Relief Request V-30 was withdrawn. Also, reference to full stroke testing every reactor refueling was added to Relief Request V-27.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM detectable increase in accumulator level or leakage to the RHR system. For these reasons, leakage through these valves is not critical to the RCS integrity and these valves should be Category c.
Also, because there are two valves in series, credit for closure need only be taken for the downstream check valves 1-SI-109, 130 and 147.
Program Change: The ASME category was changed from AC to c, the leakage test requirement was deleted and Relief Request V-30 was withdrawn. Also, the closure test requirements were deleted for the upstream check valves 1-SI-107, 128 and 145. Reference to closure testing for valves l-SI-109, 130 and 147 was removed from Relief Request V-26 and placed in Cold Shutdown Justification CSV-29 and the test frequency was
- changed from once every three months to cold shutdown.
Testing experience has shown that the flow from both RHR pumps can drive the disk of valves 1-SI-130 and 147 to the back seat. This impact event will be recorded using acoustic monitoring instrumentation for both valves each reactor refueling. The data will be analyzed to show that the disk struck the back seat, thus verifying that the disk stroked to the full open position.
Relief Request V-26 was revised to describe this alternate testing.

1-SI-235,236,237 These check valves open to provide flow paths for safety injection and recirculation from the high head safety injection pumps to the reactor coolant system cold legs. The high head safety injection pumps remain running during small and large break events.
Therefore, flow will continue through these lines during cold leg injection.
- During the change over from cold leg injection to hot leg injection, which occurs several hours into the accident, the upstream cold leg injection path motor operated valves are closed and the hot leg motor operated valve is opened.
The check valves l-SI-235, 236 and 237 have no function to close during the change over sequence.
These check valves are one of four valves in series that provide isolation between the RCS and the high head safety injection discharge header. A pressure isolation valve (1-SI-79, 82 and 85) is located between these valves and the RCS and is tested for leakage in accordance with Technical Specifications. The piping upstream of these valves is capable of retaining RCS pressure and contains an additional check valve and a normally closed MOV.

- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM l-SI-MOV-188SA,B l-SI-MOV-188SC,D These valves are normally open. They automatically close during recirculation mode transfer to prevent flow to the RWST. It is unlikely that these valves would be re-opened. Therefore, they are passive in the open position.
Program Change: Open test was deleted from the program.
l-SI-MOV-1890C The low head safety injection pump to cold leg discharge isolation valve must open to allow change over from hot leg to cold leg injection after an accident.
Program Change: Open test was added to the program.
1-SI-RV-1858A 1-SI-RV-1858B 1-SI-RV-1858C These valves protect the SI accumulators
- from overpressure. The accumulator system is a passive system and not subject to operational pressure transients. Specifically, inleakage from the RCS does not present a significant potential for overpressurization since the volume in the tanks allows sufficient time for operator action to prevent exceeding design limits. If inleakage were so great as to preclude operator action, then the plant would be shutdown as required by Technical Specification 3.1.C. Therefore, these relief valves need not be tested per the Section XI program.
Program Change: These valves were deleted from the program.
1-SI-RV-1859 This relief valve protects the check valve test line from overpressurization in the event of a gross failure of a SI check valve experienc~d during testing.
Failure of this line would not result in

1-SS-TV-103A,B These containment isolation valves are opened from time to time to draw samples from the RHR system when in operation.
Since the RHR system would only be operating at or near cold shutdown and access to the containment is required to
- initiate RHR, it is not likely that they would be opened during an accident resulting in containment isolation.
Therefore, they are considered passive in the closed position.

In addition to the request for relief from full stroke testing valves 1-SI-46A, B, and l-SI-50 and 58 every three months, reference to testing valves l-SI-50 and 58 to the closed position every cold shutdown was included in Revision 4. The explanation given for the cold shutdown frequency was not accepted in the SER. In response to the SER, *the basis was expanded to provide more detail on why valves l-SI-50 and 58 should be tested every cold shutdown instead of every three months. This version of the relief request was submitted by letter to the NRC dated November 28, 1990.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM 147 was changed from disassembly to acoustic monitoring in Revision 5. Testing experience has shown that the flow from both RHR pumps can drive the disk of valves 1-SI-130 and 147 to the back seat. This impact event will be recorded using acoustic monitoring instrumentation for both valves each reactor refueling. The data will be analyzed to show that the disk struck the back seat, thus verifying that the disk stroked to the full open position.
Also, reference to closure testing the discharge check valves was deleted. Valves 1-SI-107, 128 and 145 do not have a safety function to close as explained in the previous section. Reference to closure testing for valves 1-SI-109, 130 and 147 was removed from Relief Request V-26 and placed in Cold Shutdown Justification CSV-29 and the test frequency was changed from once every three months to cold shutdown.
V-27 Relief as presented in Revision 4 was granted in
- the NRC's SER. Subsequent to receiving the SER, the alternate testing was revised to indicate that valves 1-SI-79, 82, 85, 88, 91, 94, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242 and 243 would be disassembled and inspected and partial stroke tested every reactor refueling to verify full stroke capability.
This version of the relief request was submitted by letter to the NRC dated November 28, 1990.
Using disassembly as an alternative testing method conforms to Generic Letter 89-04, Attachment 1, Position 2.
In Revision 5, the alternate testing for valves 1-88, 91, 94, 238, 239 and 240 was changed from disassembly to full flow testing using clamp on ultrasonic flow instrumentation. Also, the alternate testing for cold leg injection valves 1-SI-79, 82, 85, 241, 242 and 243 was changed from disassembly to acoustic monitoring. Using low head pump flow, the cold leg injection valves will be acoustically monitored for the disk striking the back seat every reactor refueling. The data will be analyzed to show that the disk struck the back seat, thus verifying that the disk stroked to

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM The frequency of closure testing for valves l-SI-79, 82, 85, 241, 242 and 243 was clarified by stating that they would be tested to the closed position every reactor refueling per Technical Specification Table 4.1-2A. Also, reference to closure testing valves 1-SI-235, 236 and 237 was deleted because these valves need not close during an accident as explained in the previous section.
v-28* Relief was granted from exercising valves 1-SI-25 and 410 to the open position every three months in the NRC's SER. Relief was not granted from exercising valve 1-SI-25 closed. In response to the SER, reference to draining a RWST while testing check valve 1-SI-25 was deleted from the basis and reference to the line configuration not allowing for a back seat test was added.* The alternate testing was expanded to include disassembly and inspection for valve 1-SI-25 once every other outage.
This version of the relief request was submitted
- by letter to the NRC dated November 28, 1990
- Although disassembly to verify valve closure conforms to Generic Letter 89-04, Attachment 1, Position 2, prior NRC approval is necessary to use disassembly to verify closure according to the Minutes of the Public Meetings on Generic Letter 89-04.
V-29 This relief request number is no longer active.
It was replaced by a cold shutdown justification in Revision 4.
V-30 This relief request is being withdrawn. The ASME categories for valves in the relief request (l-RC-HCV-1556A - c, 1-RH-MOV-1700, 1701, 1720A and B, 1-SI-88, 91, 94, 107, 109, 128, 130, 145, 147, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239 and 240) were changed from A and AC to Band C. The explanations for the change in categories are given in the previous section for each group of valves. Because of the change in category, V-30 is no longer applicable.

Also, the verbiage in the basis was changed from, "These valves have a normal stroke time of 2 seconds or less, they are rapid acting valves" to "These valves have a normal stroke time
- of 2 seconds or less. Therefore, they could be
- considered rapid acting valves."
V-35 This relief request number is no longer active.

V-36 According to the NRC's SER, relief is granted provided that flow instrumentation is installed.
Flow instrumentation has been installed in the diesel fuel oil transfer system. In Revision 5, reference to monthly stroke testing was replaced by quarterly stroke testing. Because Section XI requires only quarterly testing, this change conforms with the Code.
V-37 According to the NRC's SER, relief is granted provided that acceptance criteria are expanded to include maximum diesel start time. In response to the SER, references to recording the time it takes for the diesel engines to reach a predetermined RPM and comparing the time to an acceptance criteria were added. Reference to monthly stroke testing was replaced by quarterly stroke testing.
This version of the relief request was submitted

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
- V-38 TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM Relief request V-38 is being withdrawn. The addition of flow instrumentation makes this request unnecessary. The diesel fuel oil pump discharge check valves 1-EE-15, 28 and 35 will be full flow tested every three months.
V-39 According to the NRC's SER, relief is granted provided that the group leakage limits are reevaluated. Based on recent test results, new and more stringent leakage limits were determined to ensure significant degradation of the smallest valve in the group would not go undetected. The response to the SER was included in a letter to the NRC dated November 28, 1990.
Valves l-CH-HCV-1200A, Band c were removed from this request in Revision 5 because they are no longer containment isolation valves and are not subject to leak testing. Valves 1-RS-46, 52 and 1-SI-301, 311 were added.
- V-40 With the installation of flow instrumentation, the charging pump discharge recirculation line check valves {l-CH-256, 265 and 274) can be full flow tested every three months. Relief Request V-40 is being withdrawn. This relief request was submitted by letter to the NRC dated November 28, 1990.
V-41 Relief was granted in the NRC's SER for Revision
- 4. In Revision 5, reference to closure testing was deleted because these valves do not have to close to fulfill their safety functions.
V-42 Relief was granted in the NRC's SER for Revision
- 4. In Revision 5, reference in the alternative testing section to partial flow testing every three months was replaced by full flow testing every three months. Therefore, the main steam header supply to the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater check valves 1-MS-176, 178 and 182 will be full flow tested once every three months.
v-43* This relief request replaces Cold Shutdown Justification CSV-23. None of the check valves on the discharge side of the containment spray and

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM by disassembly. Valves 1-CS-13 and 24, and 1-RS-11 and 17 do have weight-loaded lever arms.
However, the weight position and lever arm angle are subject to adjustment to ensure that the valves open when a pressure differential using air is applied every refueling cycle as required by T.
- s. 4.5.C. Therefore, torque measurements would not be repeatable. Also, reference to closure testing for valves 1-CS-105 and 127 was added.
These valves will be divided into three groups and one valve from each group will be disassembled and inspected every refueling outage. The alternative testing conforms to Generic Letter 89-04, Attachment 1, Position 2. However, using disassembly to verify closure for valves 1-cs-105 and 127 requires prior NRC approval according tc*
the Minutes of the Public Meetings on Generic Letter 89-04.
v-44* Valves 1-IA-938, 939, 1-RC-160, 1-RM-3 and 1-SI-234 were removed from Cold Shutdown
- Justification CSV-20 and placed into this relief request. Valve 1-VP-12 was added to the relief request. These containment isolation valves are leak tested every reactor refueling.
The small increase in safety gained by testing these valves closed every cold shutdown does not justify the burden of performing a local leak rate/back pressure test on the more frequent interval. This request for relief needs approval from the NRC.
Valves l-CC-1105, 1106, 1107, 1188, 1189 and 1190 were added to the component cooling water supply line to the reactor coolant pump thermal barriers to prevent gross leakage in the event of a leak in the thermal barrier. The only way to verify closure is to perform a local back pressure test.
They are located inside containment. Therefore, they cannot be tested every quarter.
The small increase in safety gained by testing these valves closed every cold shutdown does not justify the burden of performing a local leak rate/back pressure test on the more frequent
- interval. This request for relief needs approval from the NRC.

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
- V-46 TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM There is no instrumentation installed to measure flow for check valves 1-SW-313, 323 and 1-SW-333.
These valves will be grouped together and one valve from this group will be disassembled and inspected every reactor refueling. A different valve will be disassembled every reactor refueling. They will be partial stroked open once every three months with flow. The alternative testing conforms to Generic Letter 89-04, Attachment 1, Position 2. Relief Request V-46 was submitted to the NRC by letter dated March 22, 1991 and approved by NRC letter dated June 26, 1992.
The valves listed in Table M of Relief Request V-47 are stroke timed by locally observing stem movement-. These valves either have no remote indication and/or no remote control, or the test requires that the power source be interrupted at the valve and not at the switch.
- Testing experience has shown that stroke time data gathered by observing stem movement contains a scatter from test to test that exceeds the .25% and 50% required by IWV-3417(a). Therefore, applying the requirements of IWV-3417(a) in these cases is not practical.
Maximum stroke times will be established in accordance with IWV-3417(b). However, the ranges described in IWV-3417(a) will not be applied.
This issue is not addressed in Generic Letter 89-
- 04. Therefore, this request for relief needs approval from the NRC.
V-48* The mainsteam non-return stop check valves 1-MS-NRV-lOlA, Band Care currently tested closed by running the stem down onto the disk. The NRC letter d.ated September 26, 1991 entitled, "Supplement to Minutes of the Public Meetings on Generic Letter 89-04," indicates that if the stop check valve must close upon cessation of flow, running the stem down onto the disk is not an adequate test.
Performing a reverse flow test with steam is not
- practical for these valves. Therefore, an alternative test method must be developed

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM Virginia Electric and Power Company is reviewing in house capabilities and vendor capabilities to acoustically monitor the valves during shutdown.
Until the new test.method is developed and implemented, interim relief is necessary.
Interim Relief Request V-48 was sent to the NRC by letter dated February 21, 1992. Note that the Relief Request number was changed from V-50 in the letter to V-48 in this program. This interim relief request needs approval from the NRC.
V-49 IWV-3427(b) specifies corrective actions in addition to IWV-3427(a) for Appendix J Category A valves subject to leakage testing for valve sizes of six inches and larger.
Most valves that are leak rate tested are tested in the "as found" condition, subject to maintenance and retested in the "as left" condition. The valve maintenance is performed on a routine basis and it effectively resets the
- leakage to a small amount. Therefore, basing corrective actions on previous test results or projections serves no useful function.
Therefore, the requirements of IWV-34.27 (b) will not be implemented. The alternate testing presented in this Relief Request conforms to NRC Generic Letter 89-04, Attachment 1, Item 10*.
Unit 2 Relief Reguest Comment V-40 With the installation of flow instrumentation, a full flow test can be performed on the charging pump discharge recirculation line check valves.

- CSV-6 Valve 1-CC-TV-107 was moved from CSV-6 to CSV-27.
CSV-12 This cold shutdown justification was withdrawn because valve 1-CH-MOV-1373 does not require an exercise test.
CSV-15 Reference to valve 1-CH-TV-1204 was replaced by references to valves 1-CH-TV-1204A and B. Valve number 1-CH-TV-1204 was changed to 1-CH-TV-1204B.
1-CH-TV-1204A was added upstream of l-CH-TV-1204B.
Also, valves l-CH-LCV-1460A and B were added.
The valve controllers do not allow for a partial stroke test. This information was added to the justification section.
CSV-19 A more detailed technical basis for when these valves should not be exercised has been added. To achieve full flow through valves l-CH-225,. 227 and 229 the boric acid transfer pumps must be set at high speed, which could inject enough boric acid into the reactor coolant system to cause a reactor power transient. The motor operated valve 1-CH-
- MOV-1350 will be full stroke exercised, and the
- check valves l-CH-225, 227 and 229 will be partial 54

- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM stroke exercised every quarter with the pumps set on low speed when the boric acid concentration is above 100 ppm. The check valves will be full stroke exercised every reactor refueling.
During power operation and when the concentration of boric acid in the reactor coolant system is low, the addition of boric acid will produce an undesirable transient in reactor power. Low concentrations of boric acid occur near the end of the fuel cycle. This version of the cold shutdown justification was submitted by letter to the NRC dated November 28, 1990.
In Revision 5, manual emergency boration path valves 1-CH-225, 228 and 229 were added to the cold shutdown justification. Also, boric acid transfer pump discharge check valves 1-CH-76 and 92 were deleted from CSV-19 because flow instrumentation was installed.

CSV-26 A containment entry is required to exercise manual butterfly valves 1-CC-181 and 185. Therefore, they will be exercised every cold shutdown.
CSV-27 Exercising valves 1-CC-TV-107,and 120A, Band C during normal operation would isolate component cooling water to the reactor coolant pump thermal barriers. Cooling water must be available to the
- reactor coolant pump thermal barriers when the reactor coolant system temperature is above 55

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM 200 OF. Cold shutdown is entered when the neactor coolant system temperature drops below 200 F.
The valve controllers do not allow for a part stroke exercise test.
These valves will be full stroke tested every cold shutdown. Note that l-CC-TV-107 was moved from CSV-6 to CSV-27.
CSV-28 Valves l-FW-FCV-1478, 1488, 1498,and 155A, Band c are in positions required to sustain power operation. Full stroke exercising the valves would result in a reactor trip. The main feedwater regulating valves l-FW-FCV-1478, 1488 and 1498 move during normal operation as they perform their regulating function. The bypass valves 1-FW-FCV-lSSA, Band C remain closed during power operation.
These valves will be part stroke exercised every three months and full stroke exercised every cold shutdown .
- CSV-29 The SI accumulator discharge check valves (l-SI-109, l-SI-130 and l-SI-147) are located inside containment and are back seat tested using the installed sampling system. To ensure that all of the leakage that could pass by the check valves is collected, the accumulator discharge motor operated valves (l-SI-MOV-1865A, Band C) must be closed. However, these motor operated valves must be open and de-energized when the reactor coolant system pressure is above 1000 psig according to Technical Specification Paragraph 3.3.A.10.
Therefore, the accumulator check valves will be tested to the closed position every cold shutdown.
CSV-30 Valve l-CC-805 must open to provide a flow path from the component cooling water system to the charging pump seal water surge tank as a supply of makeup water to the surge tank. There is no flow instrumentation to verify partial or full flow for the check valve.
There is level instrumentation on the surge tank.
A test method to verify full flow through the check valve using the level instrumentation or
- some other means needs to be developed. The surge tank provides the NPSH for the charging pump 56

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES
- TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM cooling water pumps and it should not be isolated from the system during normal operation.
CSV-31 Valve 1-cc-Lcv-101 must open to maintain the level in the charging pump seal water surge tank and must close to prevent overflowing the surge tank and potentially draining the surge tank through the over flow line. The valve fails closed on lose of operating air.
Valve position is determine solely from tank level. In order to manipulate the valve for testing, the surge tank must be isolated.
However, the surge tank provides the NPSH for the charging pump cooling water pumps and it should not be isolated from the system during normal operation.
Unit 2 Cold Shutdown
- Just Comment CSV-19 Flow instrumentation has been installed for the boric acid transfer pumps. Therefore, the discharge check valves 1-CH-109 and 116 can be full flow tested every three months. These valves were deleted from CSV-19.
4.7 ALTERNATIVE TESTING FOR NON-CODE VALVES This section is being added to deal with non-Code valves which are in the IST program but cannot be tested to the provisions of the Code. Refer to the description given for Section 3.7.
Non-Code Alternative Testing Comments VNc.:..1 Valves 1-IA-928, 947 and 952 must close to ensure that bottled air is available to actuate valves (1-RC-PCV-1455C, 1-RC-PCV-1456, and 1-MS-SOV-102A and B}. Valves 1-IA-948, 949 and 953 must open to
- allow bottled air to reach the main valves. There is no direct means to measure the flow of air 57

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM through the check valves.
However, after the instrument air system is isolated and the lines vented, the stroke times of the main valves are measured and compared to acceptance criteria. Measuring the stroke times provides indirect evidence that valves l-IA-948, 949 and 953 open properly and that valves l-IA-928, 947 and 952 close properly.
The performance of this test renders the main valves inoperable. Therefore, the tests cannot be performed during normal operation. After stroking the main valves with the air bottles, the air bottles must be replaced. The safety gained-in testing the valves every cold shutdown versus every reactor refueling does not justify the burden of replacing the air bottles on the more frequent basis.
VNC-2 Valve l-CW~l17 is located on a line from the discharge tunnel to the discharge canal. The
- valve is opened following the initiation of an event to reduce the vacuum in the discharge tunnel which reduces the flow rate through the essential heat exchangers. By reducing the flow rate, cooling water inventory is conserved in the intake canal. Full or partial opening of this valve during normal operation or during cold shutdown will reduce cooling to the component cooling system and the bearing cooling system which will disrupt plant operations.
This valve will be exercised every reactor refueling.
VNC-3 Valves 1/3-EG-43 and 44 are air pilot valves that open to supply drive air to the EOG air starting motors. These valves have actuation times considerably under a second and there is no visual reference on the valve to observe the stroke.
Therefore, the stroke time cannot be measured.
Valves 1/3-EG-45 and 46 are check valves that close to prevent opening the air start valves before the air motor pinion gears are fully engaged. They open to ensure that the air motor
- pinions remain engaged {hold-in feature) when the air motors are operating. The only indication of 58

SUMMARY
OF CHANGES TO THE SURRY POWER STATION IST PROGRAM the proper operation of the check valves is the proper operation of the pinion gears. The air pilot valves and the check valves work in concert with the air start.solenoid valves to start the emergency diesels upon demand within the required time.
These valves will be stroke tested quarterly by observing that the valves perform their intended function, which is to start the diesel engines.
Adequate performance of the valves will be verified by recording the time it takes for the diesel engines to reach a predetermined RPM and comparing the time to an acceptance criterion.
Also, the failure of these valves to perform will promptly give a diesel engine trouble alarm.
Further investigation wo~ld identify problems with the operability of these valves *
