Engineering Assistance Requests (EARS) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-0216 EAR-96-0081 "Remove Ll-1301, Ll-1302, and Ll-1307" -The basin level indicators for the screen house are leaking mercury and are not currently used. This Engineering Assistance Request evaluates their removal and the capping to the instrument lines. The indicators are not used and not safety related. Currently Operations use floats to determine level.

Because the instruments are not used, and because

• their removal reduces the number of plant components that may fail, neither the probability, nor the consequences of an accident are increased.

96-0501 EAR-96-0129 "Turbine Lube Oil Room - Replace West Wall Siding with a 2-Hour Fire Rated Wall" - Replaces siding in the pipe gallery area of the west wall of the lube oil room with a fire rated masonry wall. This was originally an exterior wall but, with the addition of feedwater purity building, became an interior wall and, as such, is required to be a fire barrier.

The replacement wall has two hour fire rating per NFPA and Factory Mutual. This reduces the probability and consequences of a fire in the lube oil room. No other systems are affected.

96-0568 EAR-95-0119 "Removal of DPIA-1130" - This Engineering Assistance Request removes the indicator and alarm, and abandons DPT-1130 in place. The dirty waste filter F-53 is no longer used and therefore the indication and alarm for high dP is not required.

The Liquid Waste Incident (FSAR Section 14.20) is not affected, as the dirty waste filter is not used. Neither the probability, nor the consequences of an accident are increased.

• Engineering Assistance Reguests (EARS) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-0571 EAR-96-0084 "Eye Wash Station at Cooling Tower Acid Sheds" - The emergency showers at the cooling towers are being removed since acid is no longer used as an additive to the Circulating Water System. The showers are shown on FSAR Figure 9-14 because the source of water is the Fire Protection System. The shower locations will be isolated by closing manual isolation valves, and the pipe ends will be capped.

The presence or absence of these showers has no effect on nuclear safety.

• 96-0576 EAR-96-0229 "Replace MV-SW224" - Replace a gate valve with a ball valve as approved by the applicable Piping Class Sheet.

The valve isolates service water to the cooler for the steam generator blow down radiation monitor. The replacement valve is a ball valve, whereas the old valve was a gate valve. This required an update to the Piping

. and Instrument Diagram, which is also a Figure in the

. FSAR. .

Nuclear safety is not affected because the valve has no accident mitigation function. It is normally open and is used only for maintenance isolation purposes. The valve's design pressure rating meets the design rating of the system.

96-07 49 EAR-96-0149 "Replace V-9C Roll-0-Matic Filter with Cartridge Filters" -

The motor operated roll filter for the Turbine Building supply fan V-9C is being replaced with a stationary filter.

Since this filter is shown on a figure in the FSAR, an FSAR update is required. An unreviewed safety question does not exist because turbine building fans have no bearing on accident prevention or mitigation.

96-0907 EAR-96-0336 "Removal of FQl-1339A and FQl-13398 from Service due to Obsolescence of Equipment" - Non-functional flow indicators for chemical injection into the circulating water system are being removed.

The indicators are shown on FSAR Figure 10-6 Sheet

1. An Unreviewed Safety Question is not created because chemical control of the circulating water system has no bearing on nuclear safety.

Removes instrument because the plant has no use for it.

This measures non-critical service water flow to the SG blow down heat exchanger.

The possibilities of accidents or malfunctions are reduced by removal of unused/non-functioning equipment.

96-1079 EAR-96-024 "Add a %" 3000# Threaded Union Fitting Upstream of Valve MV-FW604" - This union will facilitate easier removal and reinstallation of MV-FW604. Currently, this valve cannot be unscrewed from the pipe without disassembling the valve due to interferences with adjacent valves.

Probabilities and consequences of malfunctions are not increased, as the union installation meets all applicable design requirements. System operation is not affected.

96-1274 EAR-96-0436 "Remove Wall in Access Control" - A nonstructural wall in access control is being removed to improve traffic flow in the area. Radiological area status sheets are currently mounted on this wall.

Removal has no effect on HVAC performance. Thus no consequences of .accidents are affected.

96-1293 EAR-96-0456 "Removal of Fl-2603A from Service due to Constant Maintenance Problem due to Wrong Range Size" - This instrument is not sized properly and is not used. This measures non-critical service water flow to the SG blow down heat exchanger.

The possibilities of accidents or malfunctions are reduced by removal of unused/non-functioning equipment.

• Engineering Assistance Reguests (EARS) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-1922 EAR-96-037 "Add A Vent Valve to Main Condenser Inlet Water Boxes"

- This Engineering Assistance Request will install two 8 inch gate valves on existing flanges located on the south condenser water boxes. Valves will be used to vent the tube side of the condenser during draining.

The probability of a malfunction will not be increased.

The valves remain closed during normal operation and condenser failure is not a part of an analyzed accident.

96-2109 EAR-96-0365 "T-50 Sample Valve Maintenance" -Adds ball valve MV-a SFP618 to provide double isolation for sample line downstream of MV-SFP617. Valve MV-SFP617 leaks by and replacement is not feasible because isolation of this line is difficult. This sample line is on the outlet of the spent fuel pool demineralizer.

The probability of a malfunction is not increased, as the valve is in a non-Q part of the system. No new flow paths or failure positions are created by this change.

96-2440 EAR-96-0724 "Steam Generator E-50A Tube Plugging" - This Engineering Assistance Request is being used to document the Safety Evaluation to plug 4 steam generator tubes in E-50A using the administrative process detailed in EM-09-05, "Steam Generator lnservice Inspection." Engineering Manual, EM-09-05 requires that WO be initiated, and verify with the Reload Design Supervisor that the analyzed plugging limit will not change for next cycle, verify Technical Specifications flow measurements will be done, and documents are ,

revised.

EMF-95-016, Palisades Cycle 12 Safety Analysis Report allows up to 15% of the total tubes in the steam generators to be plugged (with a maximum difference of 9% between generators). The total percentage of tubes plugged in -both steam generators will be 3. 78%.

96-0077 FC-966 "Conceptual Design of Steam Supply to Auxiliary Feedwater Steam Turbine (K-8) Modification". This design package is intended to remove various problem valves in the steam supply to the Turbine Driven AFW Pump and replace the valves with two steam control valves capable of good steam control and isolation.

The consequences of an accident are not increased.

The modifications to the steam feed to the turbine driven Auxiliary feedwater pump, will improve reliability.

Possibilities of malfunctions are. correspondingly reduced.

96-0674 FC-966 "Upgrade Steam Supply to Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Turbine Driver K-8" - This is Revision 1 to the Safety Evaluation which adds discussions of issues raised during detailed design of the modification. Specifically added to the Safety Evaluation are discussions regarding the addition of two safety valves to the scope of this facility change and discussions concerning potential failures of new valve positioners.

96'"1368 FC-966 "Upgrade Steam Supply to Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Turbine Driver K-8" - Revision 2 adds items added to the design package since initial review of the FC package.

The most significant item added involves the two relief valves. These relief valves will provide full pressure relief capability, preventing failure of the moisture separator, in the event that both steam supply valves fail open.

96-1728 T-FC-966-03 "Auxiliary Feedwater System Post FC-966 Installation High Steam Pressure Test Procedure" - This test procedure tests the modified AFW Turbine Steam Supply at normal Main Steam pressures. The test will start and operate the.system in the various design alignments and normal and off normal transient. conditions.

Testing will be completed within the normal auxiliary feedwater LCO. Operability will be demonstrated at low power.

Facility Changes (FCs) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-1754 l-FC-966-01 "Auxiliary Feedwater Steam Supply System Modification"

- This procedure provides instructions for the control, .

demolition and installation of affected mechanical, electrical and control components associated with FC-966, "Auxiliary Steam Supply To K-8 Turbine Drive Modification."

There is no interface with safety equipment during pre-outage work. Work on safety related equipment will take place when that equipment is not required (at cold shutdown). The probability of a malfun:ction is not increased by the installation of this modification.

96-2735 T-FC-966-02 "Auxiliary Feedwater System Post FC-966 Installation Low Steam Pressure Test" - This revision to the test

• procedure incorporates changes associated with Primary Coolant System operation during the test period.

Revision allows operation with shutdown cooling isolated

• and pressure control maintained through operation of the atmospheric steam dump valves.

These operations are allowed under Technical Specifications although one electrically driven AFW train will be under an LCO. The redundant electric flow path

• will be operable. Therefore the consequences of a malfunction of equipment important to safety are not increased .

96-0255 FC-958 . "Diesel Fuel Oil Transfer System Upgrade" - Replaces oil storage tank T-10 with a larger tank (T-1 OA) to meet 7 day supply requirement for emergency use. Also, the tank and fuel oil piping supply system is being upgraded to General Design Criteria 2 (Protection Against Natural Phenomena) and CPCo Design Class 1 requirements.

The capacity of the new tank is 50,000 gallons and will provide a substantial fuel inventory margin for design basis loading.

The connecting piping system is being upgraded and the tank will be cathodically protected. The probability of a malfunction of equipment is not increased.

'** i Facility Changes (FCs) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-1052 FC-958 "T-10A Diesel Oil Tank Installation (GWO 6013) Moving Existing Soil" - This is a safety evaluation that was written to document that the decision to store contaminated soil on-site was made by considering past approval by the NRC to store on-site soil of a much higher activity.

The soil and location are independent of plant equipment and conditions. The activity of the soil is much lower than the NRC 1.0CFR20.302 approved buried in place soil at the South Radwaste area. The soil will meet the criterion of less than 1 mrem/yr at the site boundary.

96-2146 T-FC-958-01 "Test Procedure For The Fuel Oil Transfer System Upgrade" - This test procedure tests the installation of the fuel oil system as it relates to FC-958, "Fuel Oil Tank T-10A Installation." Procedure test seep~ includes tank instrumentation and testing of new piping associated with

• the system modification.

Because the transfer system is not single failure proof, alternate methods are provided for refilling the day tanks

• when the transfer system is not available. Contingency materials will be stored near the old tank, and a truck will be on site for filling the new tank. Thus the consequences of accidents previously evaluated will not be affected by the testing of the transfer system.

Facility Changes fFCs) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-1018 FC-961 "Reactor Cavity Drain Line Modification" - This inserts stainless steel canisters containing ceramic pellets into the two one inch reactor cavity drain lines to restrict the flow of cerium into the sump in the event of a reactor vessel breach. The pellets have a melting temperature on the order of 3400 degrees F and are stable under normal operating and design basis accident environmental conditions. The canisters are designed to withstand an instantaneous blast load from the reactor vessel coincident with a seismic event.* The canisters are designed to permit normal water drainage. This modification addresses an NRC commitment.

The drain lines do not have any active components.

Additionally the Reactor Cavity Flooding system is not included in the mitigation of any design basis event. A core melUreactor vessel bottom failure is not a design

.basis event. The possibilities of a malfunction of a

. different type are not increased.

96-1465 FC-961 "Reactor Cavity Drain Line Modification" - Safety Evaluation is being revised to Revision 1 to reflect EDC-FC-961-01 which changed the canister material from .

Teflon to stainless steel.

• 96-1020 FC-956 "Reload Q Cycle 13" - This facility change for cycle 13 consists of loading 60 new Q fuel assemblies, 56 once burnt P assemblies, 20 thrice burnt N's, and 8 thrice burnt M assemblies with a SS pin in the core shroud corners. Fuel in the reactor will be inspected by in-mast sipping and reconstituted if necessary.

This is a preliminary review since the safety analyses, accident analysis and the Deposition of Events are not yet completed by Siemens. The safety evaluation will be revised when they have been received and reviewed.

Facility Changes (ECsl for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-2685 FC-956 "Cycle 13 Reload Design Safety Evaluation" - This is a revision of the Cycle 13 safety evaluation. The safety evaluation is being revised because several analyses were performed for cycle 13 as a result of the Disposition of Event for cycle 13. The evaluation 1) discussed the increase in pellet density, 2) discussed reconstitution of assembly 0-47 for a failed and "loose" rod, 3) added report numbers of Siemens reports that support and justify cycle 13 op~ration, 4) discussed the sections of the FSAR that must be revised as a result of cycle 13, and 5) added a discussion why Palisades is not directly affected by the NRC's concerns with Siemens LOCA methodology.

The conclusion of the safety evaluation that operation of Cycle 13 does not involve an unreviewed safety question is not changed by this revision.

96-2524 FC-969 "Containment Air Cooler VHX-4 Inlet & Outlet Valve SIS Position Change" - Facility Change isolates the VHX-4 inlet valve, CV-0869, and opens the outlet valve, CV-0867, on an SIAS. Both channels of Safety Injection Actuation Signal (SIAS) are being used in the actuation of each valve. Currently, only CV-0867 actuates on a left channel SIAS. The failure modes on loss of air or power of the valves are also being changed so that CV-0869 fails closed and CV-0867 fails open. The above actions are being taken in response to the Generic Letter 96-06 and they will prevent a water hammer in VHX-4 during a OBA.

The valves have been qualified for post-LOCA operation and this FC does not change that qualification.

VHX-4 still is isolated on SIS actuation, so system operation remains the same. The probability and consequences of equipment malfunctions are not increased.

Eunctjonal Egujvalent Substitutions (EES) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID . Description 96-0418 FES-96-064 "Replace MV-CRW245" - Replace the isolation valve for the Pressure Control Valve on the vent line from the Equipment Drain Tank to the Waste Gas Surge Tank. The old valve was prone to seat leakage. The replacement valve is a ball valve, whereas the old valve was a gate valve.

This required an update to a Figure in the FSAR.

Nuclear safety is not affected because the valv~

has no accident mitigation function. It is normally open and is used only for maintenance isolation purposes. The valve's design pressure rating meets the design rating of the system.

96-0425 FES-96-065 "Replace MV-FW808" - Replace globe valve in feed pump P-1 A suction line drain with a ball valve. The existing valve leaks by.

This valve is normally closed and performs no safety function. As long as it meets the pressure ratings, it cannot affect the possibilities or .

consequences of equipment important to safety.

96-0595 FES-96-047 "Replace Escape Air Lock Test Connection, MV-VA-P6" - "Replace Escape Air Lock Test Connection, MV-VA-P6" - This modification replaces the existing 2" gate valve with a 1" ball valve and adds a reducer. The design and operation of the test connection is not affected.

The configuration currently meets Appendix J test requirements but is not up to current industry standards. Also, the current configuration may not meet Appendix J requirement to which Palisades will be committed in the future. The modified configuration will meet these future requirements.

No new types of accidents or malfunctions are created.

Changing to a ball valve will not create the possibility of a new type of failure. The valve still has the potential for seat leakage and pressure boundary failure.

96-0700 FES-96-093 "Replace ST-0575 and YS-0501 (Main Steam Stop Valve Number 4 )" - Replace existing steam trap and strainer with an integrated unit. The existing steam trap is badly eroded and repair is not feasible.

The function of the trap/strainer is not changed.

No new types of failures or malfun.ctions are created.

96-0822 FES-96-100 "Replace MV-ES3417"- Install a ball valve in place of existing globe valve. The existing valve has a galled stem/bushing and cannot be operated.

This valve provides isolation for dPl-0319C, which measures differential pressure across containment spray pump P-54C.

Changing to a ball valve will not create the possibility of a new type of failure. The valv13 still has the potential for seat leakage and pressure boundary failure.

96-0957 FES-96-118 "Replace MV-ES3414" - This installs a ball valve in place of an existing gate valve which has a galled stem and bushing and cannot be operated.

This valve isolates DPl-0319A, which is on the discharge of containment spray pump P-54A.

Changing to a ball valve will not create the possibility of a new type of failure. The valve still has the potential for seat leakage and pressure boundary failure .

Functional Eguivalent Substitutions (FES) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-1211 FES-96-102 "lncore Instrumentation Assemblies." - This FES changes the design of the reactor incore detectors such that they will be able to be reinserted after a refueling~

The probability of an accident will not increase.

The new tensile wire around the rhodium and core exit thermocouple elements provides extra strength, so that insertion and withdrawal can happen without damage to ttie a_ssemblies.

96-1247 FES-96-141 "Replacement of Penetration MZ-1A Purge Air Exhaust Test Isolation Valve MV-VA506" - Existing one inch carbon steel valve cannot be operated and will be replaced with a functionally equivalent valve.*

The existing valves are gate valves and not properly shown on plant P&IDs. The possibility of malfunctions are not increased as the failure modes for gate versus globe valves are not significantly different.

96-1258 FES-96-043 "Replace MV-ES3234, MV-ES3234A, MV-ES3237, and MV-ES3348A with Top Entry Ball Valves" -

This FES replaces gate valves currently used in this containment isolation function (Safety Injection Tank drain isolation and sample valves) with top entry ball valves. The existing valves have galled stems.

The possibility of malfunctions are not increased as the failure modes for gate versus ball valves are the same.

96-1350 FES-96-132 "Removal of Pressure Indicators Pl-3403 and Pl-3404 from Personnel Air Lock and Escape Air Lock'.' - This change removes unnecessary indicators and replaces them with pipe caps.

The possibility of a malfunction is not created because no safety function relies on these gages.

The pressure boundary is maintained by the caps, and gauge removal will simplify air lock maintenance.

Functional Equivalent Substjtutions (FES) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-1410 EDC-FES-96-045-01 "Change BCB-4-3/4" Line Classification to CC 3/4" - The classification of the piping section which contains the reactor vent valves MV-PC1060B,C,

. and D is being changed from BCB to CC, which is consistent with the remainder of the PCS. This system was originally classified BCB because it was a generic design installed at many CE plants.

This change in classification means that piping will be required to be schedule 80 rather than 160.

Review of PCS pressure and temperature design requirements indicates that schedule 80 piping is acceptable (EA-SP-77021-01). This change is necessary because the vent valves being installed under FES-96-045-01 do not have sufficient socket connection thickness to meet a schedule 160 pipe weld requirement.

The piping is not subject to an active failure. The proposed class conforms to FSAR Section 4.8 description of the reactor. The probability of an accident will not be increased.

96-1659 FES-96-122 "Replacement for Obsolete Transmitters FT-1050 and FT-1051" - This FES replaces the entire control loop for each transmitter (flow from treated waste tanks). The loops are updated to 4-20 ma de signals and square root functions are performed by the transmitters.

These are non-safety related transmitters that replace older less reliable instruments. The probability of a malfunction of equipment important to safety is not increased.

96-1684 FES-96-168 "Replace MV-CVC2086" - This FES replaces the manual globe Volume Control Tank Drain Valve with a ball valve. The globe valve has a hot spot and it is easier to replace it than to repair it.

The ball valve exceeds the pressure/temperature rating of the system and has been proven more reliable for leak tightness. The possibility of a malfunction of a different type is not created 4 of 5

• Functional Equivalent Substjtutions (FES) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-1921 FES-96-172 "Replacement of Valve MV-DE120 from a Gate Valve to a Ball Valve" - The existing 1 % inch gate valve leaks by and will be replaced with a ball valve. This valve is on the starting air system of the 1-2 diesel generator.

The possibility of malfunctions is not increased as the failure modes for gate versus ball valves are the same.

96-1948 FES-96-187 "Replace P-39A/B Bearing Cooling Water Outlet Valves" - Replaces existing Walworth, OIC, and Williams valves with NIBCO valves. They are being replaced because they are obsolete, th~y are of unknown condition, and the piping that contains these valves is being replaced.

These valves service cooling tower pumps, a non-safety related service. Further these are normally open valves that only need to provide a pressure boundary. There is no increase in the probability of malfunctions of equipment important to safety. And no new malfunctions are created.

96-2494 FES-96-233 "R'eplace MV-CA310 and MV-CA311" - Replace Turbine Building to Safeguards High Pressure Air Isolation Valves. The existing globe valves leak and will be replaced with ball valves.

These valves are normally closed and perform no accident mitigation functions. They only allow cross tieing high pressure air systems. The possibility of malfunctions is not increased as the failure modes for ball versus globe valves are the same.

...... *'t FSAR Change Requests for the 1996 Palisades Annual Reoort Log# Document ID Description 96-0208 FSAR Change FSAR Change Request - The FSAR incorrectly states Request that the nitrogen bottle stations supply nitrogen at 90 psig. The stations are actually set at 80 psig and have been so since the stations were installed. Additionally, the facility change package that installed the stations intended a set point of 80 psig. An FSAR Change Request with an erroneous set point following completion of the installation in 1987 resulted in this error.

A 90 psig setting would not allow the: nitrogen system to be a backup. This would increase nitrogen usage and possibly mask problems with instrument air. The probabilities and possibilities of malfunctions of equipment important to safety are not increased.

96-0243 FSAR Change FSAR Change Request "CV-0939 Condensate to Shield Request Cooling Valve" - FSAR Table 5.8-4 and Figures 6-6 and 9-2 erroneously show CV-0939 as a gate valve. Per

• walk down, it is actually a globe valve .

This.is a change in description only, no changes have been made to the plant. The possibility of malfunctions are not increased as the failure modes for gate versus globe valves are not significantly different.

96-0307 FSAR Change. FSAR Change request to widen pH range for the Request operation of the Volume Reduction System.

This change is for waste processing and doesn't affect any accidents or equipment important to safety, malfunctions, or margins of safety.

96-0311 FSAR Change "FSAR Changes From CCP Discrepancy Reports"- This Request FSAR change request to Table 1-2, and Sections 8.3.5.2 and 8.3.3.2 corrects inverter ratings, adds solid state breakers as a trip device and deletes sentence that says inverter voltages and amps are logged daily.

FSAR Change Requests for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log# Document ID Description 96-0332 FSAR Change FSAR Change Request to "Appendix 7C". This FSAR Request change adds safeguard bus and transformer metering to Appendix 7C to meet the requirements ofRG 1.97.

These are category 2 per Table 3 of that document.

Changing the RG 1.97 category of an instrument has no effect on the operation and reliability to the instrument itself. This change does not affect any probabilities or possibilities of malfunction.

96-0381 FSAR Change FSAR Change Request to revise Table 5.2-3. This Request changes the status of the service water break detector in Table 5.2-3 from 1E to non 1E. These instruments monitor for a break in the service water supply to the containment air coolers.

The detector does not perform a safety function as there are other indications that are relied on to perform this function. It is not a RG 1.97 system. The instruments are required in the current Technical Specifications but only as a predictor of future maintenance needs. They are not included in the proposed standard Technical Specifications.

'96-0517 FSAR Change This FSAR Change Request removes data regarding Request temporary load criteria from the FSAR per corrective action. This criteria allows use of a decreased seismic input when evaluating temporary loads on piping; The PRC had approved the addition of this criteria to the FSAR.

Subsequently, a CR was written to remove this criteria from the FSAR based on a letter from the NRC to Commonwealth Edison stating that criteria such as this may not be used without prior approval of the NRC.

Allows dewatering secondary resins to the turbine building sump.

The turbine building sump is sampled and monitored to detect primary to secondary leakage released to mixing basin outfall. The secondary resin collects some of this activity and prevents it from entering the environment. Returning a liner volume to the same waste path is consistent with design. The consequences of accidents or malfunction are not increased.

96-1049 FSAR Change FSAR change request for "ODCM SIRW Tank Limit." -

Request Points out that the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual allows the limit for the SIRW tank radio nuclide concentrations to be exceeded as long as the limiting concentration is restored within 48 hrs, per the action statement.

The activity estimate for the SIRW tank rupture only addresses tritium which is large percentage of the activity but a low percentage of the dose to the public, and is not a meaningful evaluation basis. This interpretation of the limit will not allow 1OCFR20 dose

• limits to the public to be exceeded, thus no consequences of malfunctions will be increased.

96-1289 FSAR Change FSAR Change Request "CHP Testing." - Changes the Request FSAR to reflect that present testing has shifted some functions of tests and that SIS (safety injection) is verified by RT-BC and RT-BD. R0-12 (tests Containment High Pressure) only verifies the SIS signal.

This change does not reduce the level of testing and all functions are still verified.

• FSAR Change "Update AMMS Databases For POS-0770/0771 And SV-Request 0770/0771" - The equipment associated with these valves has been erroneously listed as RG 1.97 Category 1 required equipment, because they are included in the Technical Specifications Table 3.6.1 as containment isolation valves. They are not containment isolation valves. Containment boundary is provided by the internal surface of the steam generators. The second boundary is provided by the first isolation valve, which meets the requirements of Appendix A Criterion 57.

There is no possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type as these valves will still close on containment isolation. This change only removes them from the RG 1.97 required list in FSAR App. 7C.

96-1484 FSAR Change "Final Safety Analysis Review, Section 5.8.2" - Removes Request the detailed description of the elastomeric coating on the containment dome from the FSAR. The FSAR currently says that the coating consists of three coats of neoprene .and 2 coats of hypalon for a total thickness of 20 mils. This type of detail is not necessary and there are no requirements regarding the coating. Also, this does not allow for variations in the coating due to repair activities. This statement will be revised to simply say that the dome is covered with an elastomeric coating.

The containment dome coating remains unchanged. It is not used to mitigate the consequences of an accident and only serves to protect the containment for long term effects of exposure to weather. The possibilities of an

• malfunction or a new accident are not increased.

96-1498 FSAR Change "Engineered Safeguards Testing - FSAR Change Request Request" - Adds to FSAR 7A.1.1.1 description that Q0-2 verifies containment sump valve opening. This change makes Appendix 7A consistent with the rest of the FSAR. There is no change in operation of the plant.

This change resolves a discrepancy between Section 9.3.3.1 and Chapter 14.

This change is not an unreviewed safety question because the NRC has previously reviewed this issue and approved Tech. Spec. reflecting the fact that the air coolers are not redundant.

96-1753 FSAR Change "Wiring Discrepancy P-76A" - This FSAR Change Request request shows that the canal sample pump, P-76A, is powered from a local lighting panel and not from an instrument AC panel. The wiring was changed to improve voltage regulation at the motor terminals.

The pump does not interface with any plant system that

96-1935 C-PAL "Revise FSAR Table 8-5" - Table was revised to delete 0911 inverter output harmonics description. The level of acceptable output harmonics was evaluated in EA-D-PAL-94-091, and FSAR needs to be updated to remove erroneous information.

The probability or consequences of a malfunction of equipment important to safety is not increased. The inverters have been evaluated and tested to determine that the operation with the present level of harmonics is not detrimental to connected plant equipment.

96-2050 FSAR Change "Actuator-operated Throttled Valve Parameter" - This Request FSAR Change Request adds a footnote to Table 4-12 that explains that the value of 280 gpm given for pressurizer spray valve maximum flow is the maximum flow through one spray valve.

This is an editorial change. Plant operation is not changed. Having more spray flow than the maximum for one valve will not reduce the ability of the sprays to mitigate the effects of an accident.

96-2213 FSAR Change "Qualification Requirements of Key Staff Positions in the Request Support and Nuclear Operations Organizations" - The FSAR requirements are being revised to eliminate tne .

confusion in the FSAR section that has requirements for key positions (which refers to CPC 2A). This section also had requirements that applied to re.view and audit functions, which have been moved to FSAR Section 12.4, "Review and Audit."

Miscellaneous 10CFR50.59 Evaluations for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-0164 COLR "Core Operating Limits Report Revision 2" - The COLR is being revised to change the reference from the current Cycle 12 Safety Analysis report to "current cycle" Safety Analysis, correct a grammatical error, and revise the shutdown margin requirement to read The reactor shall not be made critical with a control rod position lower than the insertion limit for zero power on Figure 2.2." Figure 2.2 is the PDIL vs power curve. The requirement was being misinterpreted. Too much boron was being added beyond what safety analyses or the FSAR required. Concurrence of this was requested and received from the Reactor Engineer and the Reload Design supervisor.

The margin of safety is not reduced. The plant will still be operating within the bounds of the safety analysis.

No Chapter 14 events are changed. The required shutdown margin is always present even with the most reactive rod out of the core. The shutdown boron

This is a temporary change to exempt the weld between the 2" vent assembly and the MSB shield weld from the 200 degree F preheat requirement for the unloading of MSB-4. 50 degrees F will be the requirement for the unloading. SM-1-8 will be used for this weld. The welds for welding the shield lid closed (carbon to carbon) during the loading procedure presently do not require preheat.

• Miscellaneous Engineering Analyses (EAs) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log# Document ID Description 96-0041 EA-TSCR4.3 "Relaxation of Primary Coolant Pump Motor Flywheel Inspections" justifies the elimination NOE flywheel inspections at refueling intervals. The CEOG analysis demonstrates the ability of Palisades' flywheels to withstand all significant operating loads well beyond plant life.

The maximum undetected flaw will not grow to critical size during normal pump operation or under pump over speed conditions during plant life. The analysis was completed assuming a 150% over speed during a Reactor Coolant System break at the discharge of the pump. Based on this, the probability of a flywheel malfunction is not increased.

96-0114 EA-APR-95-007 "10 CFR 50 Appendix R Fire Safe Shutdown Analysis" -

This calculation evaluates the effect of a fire in each fire area of the plant on the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

The results of this calculation will be incorporated into the Fire Protection Program Report as well as plant operating procedures.

Evaluated malfunctions have changed in specific fire areas for specific components. Systems and components used to accomplish safe shutdown functions have changed, but the overall methodology has not changed. Nor has the ability to achieve safe shutdown following a fire been compromised. Therefore there are no changes to the consequences of any malfunctions.

Miscellaneous Engineering Analyses <EAs) for the 1996 Palisades Annual Report Log# Document ID Description 96-1213 EA-SP-03324- "Piping Stress Analysis For The Spent Fuel .Pool 02 Cooling" - This analysis evaluates the spent fuel pool cooling piping from valve MV-SFP123 to the fuel tilt pits with the temporary spool piece between valves MV-SFP123 and MV-SFP3263 removed. The analysis concludes that the piping meets FSAR design requirements.

This analysis shows that the system meets FSAR design criteria with or without the spo.ol piece installed.

Thus the probability of malfunction will not be increased with the spool piece removed.

96-1362 EA-BWB-96-01 "Heat Balance Calculation Using the Ultrasonic Flow meter Measurement Device" - This Engineering Analysis supports use of the Ultrasonic Flow meter to correct the feedwater flowmeters used as input to the calorimetric heat balance in the Palisades Plant Computer.

.Log # Document ID Description 96-2320 EA-GFP-96-02 "Owners Review - ABB/CE Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident (SBLOCA) Design Bases Analysis 001-ST96-C-006" - This Engineering Analysis documents the CPCo review of the Combustion Engineering SBLOCA analysis that was performed to create a Palisades specific analysis. Previously, the licensing basis was based on Calvert Cliffs analysis. The predicted peak clad temperature was 1992 degrees F which is less than the 2,200 F limit but is 52 degrees more than the value in the FSAR. This is being reported to the NRC per 10CFR50.46 .a.3.ii.

The analysis demonstrates conformance to Criteria 1 through 4 of the ECCS performance acceptance criteria of 1OCFRS0.46 for Palisades. The consequences of an accident are not increased.

96-2393 EA-A-PAL "Calculation of Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System Design 011 Heat Load" - Calculates the spent fuel pool cooling system maximum heat removal capability and

• determines a bounding pool loading scenario for the calculated cooling capacity. This analysis assumes that fuel transfer from the reactor does not begin prior to .nine days following reactor shutdown. It supersedes a previous analysis performed in 1990. This analysis is .

an improvement over the 1990 analysis in that it determines the maximum heat removal capability of the cooling system whereas the 1990 analysis verified that the fuel pool cooling system could cool a worst case fuel

• pool load. Thus, the 1990 analysis did not truly determine that maximum cooling capacity of the system.

The FSAR will be updated to reflect the new analysis.

The calculated heat load to the component cooling water and subsequently to the service water system is not greater than the maximum heat load on entering cold shutdown.' Additional conservatism has been assumed, and the heat removal capacity design limit with one active failure has been decreased. This has not increased the probability or consequences of any accidents.

Also adds a note stating that the changes only apply TM-96-032 when the RVR-200 Vectra System is being used.

The changing of the pH limit will have no effect on the probability or consequences of a malfunction of equipment important to ~afety as no safety equipment is involved.

96-1327 RE-838 Rev of "Service/Modified Performance Test -

Battery No. ED-02." - Revises the test to allow modified performance testing and recording intercell connection resistances. Proposed Tech Specs allow testing to IEEE Std. 450-1995 which tests battery capacity after the service profile has been verified.

96-1399 FPIP-4 Rev of "Fire Protection Systems and Fire Protection Equipment." - Adds an option for portable fire detection equipment. Points out that only one fire pump battery for each diesel fire pump needs to be operable. And replaces the NRC reporting requirements with the plant corrective action system.

There is no impact from portable fire detection equipment as it is seismically restrained to prevent accidents or malfunctions to safety related equipment. The diesel fire pump battery .

operability has n*o effect as long as the engine starts (which only requires one battery).

Adds a provision for posting high radiation areas using flashing lights.

Implementation is being held up pending receipt of our Tech Spec Change Request. The change has been reviewed and approved by the NRC.

96-1765 COP 2 Rev of "Chemical and Volume Control System Chemistry." - Changes allow the use of Cation only resin in the delithiating demineralizer. Adds a limit for nitrogen in the VCT. And changes some sampling steps to reflect minor plant changes.

Because cation resin has no affinity for boron, the probability of a boron dilution event will be decreased.

96-1779 Q0-21 Rev of "lnservice Test Procedure - Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps." - Combines monthly test requirements with quarterly test requirements to enable a full flow test once per quarter. Testing required monthly will remain in M0-38. Also, changes made to testing to reflect Facility Change 966 (AFW P-88 steam* supply modification).

The changes being made to the test do not increase the probability or consequences of equipment malfunction. The test lineup has been in use, additional data are being taken during previously established test conditions. System operation is in accordance with approved operating procedures.

Osmosis System for Spent Fuel Pool Boron Concentration Reduction." This attachments details the valving for transferring the concentrate to either the recycled boric acid tank, the boric acid batch tank, or to a dirty concentrate tank.

The RO suction line will be manned about 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> per day by vendor personnel and the rest of the time under heightened operator surveillance.

This will preclude the possibility of the siphon effect (resulting from multiple failures in the RO system), and the probability of malfunctions of equipment important to safety will not be increased.

96-1807 SOP 2A Rev of "Chemical and Volume Control System

• Charging and Letdown: Concentrated Boric Acid."

-Adds steps to open the bypass.valve around FT-0202 during diversions. This defeats an interlock on CV-2002, however CV-2002 will be generally closed (the response position).

The probability of malfunctions is not increased because CV-2002 is closed during normal plant operation and is also normally closed during plant shutdown. If opened the maximum possible leak is bounded by FSAR 14.23 "Radiological Consequences of Failure of Small Lines Carrying Primary Coolant Outside Containment."

• Procedure Changes tor the 1996 Annual Report Log# Document ID Description 96-1880 RT-BC Rev of "Engineered Safeguards System - Left Channel." - Procedure was revised to incorporate testing of the N.ormal Shutdown Sequencer which was previously tested in RT-13A. Plant conditions were revised to allow performance with the reactor cavity flooded.

Operation and testing of equipment important to safety will remain within the design of the equipment and system. The only impact this revision has on the FSAR is the number of the procedure that testing is allowed under, and allowing the Diesel Generator to operate when the safety injection signal is reset.

96-1938 M0-38 Rev of "Auxiliary Feedwater System - Monthly Test Procedure." - Quarterly inservice flow testing is being moved to Q0-21. This testing was previously performed on a monthly basis to coincide with required monthly pump start checks.

Now, pump start checks will be performed by a combination of Q0-21 and M0-38. These changes will reduce testing redundancies and reduce frequency of pump testing, while still meeting requirements.

96-1968 FHS-M-32 1OCFR72.48 Safety Review - Rev of "Loading and Placing the VSC, into Storage." -Adds an Argon purge to remove combustible gases during welding, adds steps for combustible gas monitoring, and changes boron limits to assure that boron concentration is not reduced below minimum.

These changes are intended to reduce the effects of the zinc based paint reaction with boric acid and therefore reduce the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type that previously evaluated in the SAR.

96-2225 T-375 New procedure "Containment Spray Pump Discharge Check Valve CK-ES3220 Non-Intrusive Test." - This check valve failed to demonstrate full disk lift during performance of Q0-10 when entering the 1996 Refueling Outage. In order to avoid disassembly and inspection of the valve, this alternate test has been written to accomplish this testing during shutdown cooling operations with the head removed. This test verifies full stroke and closure of the check valve by stopping the operating LPSI pump and running a containment spray pump in its place for a short duration. There will be a moment when all flow to the core is suspended during switchover between the pumps.

Use of a spray pump in lieu of a LPSI pump is permitted by GOP 14 and flow to the core may be isolated for up to one hour under conditions specified by Technical Specification 3.1.9.3.

Procedure Changes for the 1996 Annual Report Log # Document ID Description 96-2495 T-371 Rev of "Nonintrusive Flow Test of CK-CC401 and CK-CC402." - Procedure was revised to close Component Cooling supply to Engineered Safeguards Pumps cooling and measure back flow through the check valves. The HPSI and containment spray pumps will be out of service during testing and the LPSI pumps do not require seal cooling when operating at shutdown cooling temperatures (ie, between 72 and 90 degrees) per the pump vendor. This has been confirmed by testing.

Therefore, the probability of a malfunction of equipment important to safety is not increased.

96-2602 Q0-15 . Rev "lnservice Test Procedure - Component Cooling Water Pumps" - The surveillance

\ procedure was revised to delete pump testing with two pumps in service, and to tighten the allowable band for differential pressure. The revised testing will ensure more consistent results for improved trending capability. Reference values for pump P-52A were also revised following pump rebuild based on results of Special Test T-213 and test result evaluation done by Engineering Analysis EA-BWH-96-001 .

The test method uses normal system lineups and flow is varied per approved operating procedures.

Therefore the possibility of a new accident, or malfunction is not increased.

This is being done to maintain PCS pH greater than 6.9 with the elevated beginning-of-core 13 boron concentration.

This report determined that increasing lithium will not increase the risk of Primary System Water Corrosion Cracking. Therefore, the probability of an accident or malfunction is not increased.

96-2796 FPIP-4 Rev of "Fire Protection Systems and Fire Protection Equipment." - Changes to a performance based system using a graded approach to increase the focus of resources on those elements and features which are determined to have the greatest safety significance.

The change does not have an affect on physical plant equipment. The type and frequency of surveillance and/or compensatory measures will be adjusted based on the risk significance or impact on the ability to safely shut the plant in the event of fire .

Shield Lid/Shielding Calculations Using MCBEND for New MSB Vent Design - DFS Project" -This EA evaluates changes to the MSB shield lid to enhance the loading and unloading process. Some of the changes involve the design of the quick disconnect fitting, add a two inch diameter vent (with a pipe plug) that splits into two 1.5 lines in the RX- 277 and into the MSB, and adds a %" angled passage with a pipe plug for a flexible thermocouple.

The EA and the 1OCFR72.48 evaluation determined that no unreviewed safety question was created and that there was no significant .increase in occupational exposure or environmental impact.

96-0293 SC-96-006 ."Installation of Nitrogen Station Bleed Valves for PCV Adjustment" - Bleed valves will be installed downstream of the PCVs in nitrogen stations 1, 1A, 2, 3A, 3B, and 5 to allow for bleed-off of instrument air. Instrument air can pressurize the downstream side of the PCVs through leaking check valves, prohibiting the proper setting and calibration of the regulators. The valves will also allow ready identification of leaking check valves.

Lastly, the valves will provide a connection point for Leak Rate Monitor equipment during refueling outages, greatly reducing test time.

The valve are installed, pressure tested and fitted with a plug at the vent end. The probability of a malfunction of equipment important to safety will not be increased.

This power source is necessary to cool the 1-1 Diesel Generator Room for safe shutdown following a fire in either the Electrical Equipment Room or the Cable Spreading Room. Additionally, the power sources for Station Power Transformer 13 and Switchyard Auxiliary Power Transformer 51 will be swapped between breakers 152-108 and 152-110 on Bus 1C. This power source swap is necessary to be able to achieve hot shutdown following a fire in the 590' level of the Auxiliary Building.

A fire in the baler room can cause a loss of all 480 VAC Load Centers. Swapping breakers will prevent a fault in Load Center 77 from de-energizing Load Center 13 because of a common feeder breaker. This modification improves the capability to safely shut down the plant in the event of a fire.

96-0829 SC-94-090 "Install Two Tees and Three Valves in the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling System and Modify Support HC4-H89" -

This modification will allow for easy connection of an alternate spent fuel pool cooling system in the future.

Also, support HC4-H89 is changed to a rigid support to bring the piping system into compliance with FSAR design requirements. The installation of the tees and valves will require that spent fuel pool cooling be suspended.

An analysis determined that the heat-up rate of the pool is such that the work can be completed before the fuel pool reaches its administrative limit of 125°F.

However, the installation procedure contains pool temperatu"re monitoring requirements and contingency plans to restore cooling if fuel pool temperature approaches its administrative limit.

This complies with General Design Criterion 19.

The probability of malfunctions of equipment important to safety will not be increased because the new CAMs will not have any impact on components or systems important to safety. The new CAMs are passive components used only to monitor airborne activity in the control room HVAC, and alert the.operators to activate the emergency air filtration system.

96-0859 SC-96-013 "Addition of TeesNalves to the Charging Pump Suction Lines" - This installs two tees and two valves in the charging pump suction lines to allow easy connection of a booster pump. Also, support HC16-H9 is being modified to bring the piping system into compliance with FSAR design requirements.

The probability of malfunction will not increase as the design meets the original requirements for components within the CVC system. The consequences of a malfunction are not increased as the manual valves will be placed in the proper line up for normal operation, only to be used when a booster pump is needed.
