Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2 Request for Additional Information Main Steam Line High Flow Amendment Request A. The staff has determined that setpoint Allowable Values (AV) established by means of Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society (ISA) 67.04 Part 2 Method 3 do not provide adequate assurance that a plant will operate in accordance with the assumptions upon which the plant safety analyses have been based. These concerns have been described in various public meetings. The presentation used in public meetings in June and July, 2004, to describe the staff concerns is available on the public website under ADAMS accession number ML0418103461.
The staff is currently formulating generic action on this subject. It is presently clear, however, that the staff will not be able to accept any requested Technical Specification (TS) changes that are based upon the use of Method 3, unless the method is modified to alleviate the staff concerns. In particular, each setpoint limit in the TSs must ensure at least 95 percent probability with at least 95 percent confidence that the associated action will be initiated with the process variable no less conservative than the initiation value assumed in the plant safety analyses. In addition, the operability of each instrument channel addressed in the setpoint-related TSs must be ensured by the TSs.
That is, conformance to the TS must provide adequate assurance that the plant will operate in accordance with the safety analyses. Reliance on settings or practices outside the TS and not mandated by them is not adequate.
The staff has determined that AV computed in accordance with ISA Method 1 or 2 do provide adequate assurance that the safety analysis limits will not be exceeded. The staff has also determined that an entirely different approach, based upon the performance of an instrument channel rather than directly upon the measured trip setting, can also provide the required assurance. This alternative approach, designated Performance-Based TSs, sets limits on acceptable nominal setpoints and upon the observed deviation in the measured setpoint from the end of one test to the beginning of the next. This approach has been accepted for use at R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (GNPP), and is discussed in a safety evaluation (SE) available via ADAMS as accession number ML041180293. The referenced SE is specific to GNPP, and is cited here only as a general example for other plants. It is up to the licensee to modify the approach as necessary to meet the indicated objectives for the particular plant(s) in question. In addition, licensees are welcome to propose alternative approaches that provide the indicated confidence, but such alternative approaches must be presented in detail and must be shown explicitly to provide adequate assurance that the safety analysis assumptions will not be violated.
The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) has indicated an intent to submit a white paper 1
