TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE TSTF-359, REVISION 9, INCREASED FLEXIBILITY IN MODE RESTRAINTS" ENCLOSURE I DESCRIPTION AND CONFIRMATION OF APPLICABILITY

Enclosure I Page 1 of 12

1.0 DESCRIPTION

The proposed amendment would modify Technical Specifications (TS) requirements for mode change limitations in Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.4 and Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.0.4. The affected TS and a brief description of the proposed changes for each site are included in Tables 1 - 4 of this Enclosure.

The proposed changes are consistent with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard TS (STS) change TSTF-359 Revision 8, as modified by the notice in the Federal Register published on April 4, 2003. That Federal Register Notice (FRN), 68 FR 16579, announced the availability of this TS improvement through the CLIIP. TSTF-359 Revision 8 was subsequently revised to incorporate the modifications discussed in that FRN and other minor changes, and was submitted to NRC on April 28, 2003, as TSTF-359 Revision 9.

2.0 ASSESSMENT 2.1 Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation NMC has reviewed the safety evaluation included in FRN 68 FR 16579, as part of the CLIIP. This review included a review of the NRC Staffs evaluation, as well as the information provided to support TSTF-359 Revision 8, and included the updates made in TSTF-359, Revision 9. NMC has concluded that the justifications presented in the TSTF proposal and the safety evaluation prepared by the NRC Staff are applicable to these NMC sites, and justify the incorporation of the changes into their respective TS.

2.2 Optional Changes and Variations NMC is not proposing any variations or deviations from the TS changes described in TSTF-359 Revision 9 and the NRC Staffs model safety evaluation contained in FRN 68 FR 16579, with the following exception.

For Prairie Island, Units 1 & 2, the following deviation is requested.

Description:

The Prairie Island TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.1.3, Isothermal Temperature Coefficient (ITC) differs significantly from the STS.

Currently Prairie Island TS include a Note in LCO 3.1.3 Condition C, which states that LCO 3.0.4 does not apply. With the revised LCO 3.0.4, NMC proposes to include a similar Note in LCO 3.1.3 Condition C, which states that LCO 3.0.4.c applies.

Justification: Prairie Island TS include SR 3.1.3.3, which requires verification that the ITC will be within limits at the core end of cycle (EOC). This SR must be performed prior to reaching 70% Rated Thermal Power (RTP) after each refueling outage. If the SR is performed and subsequently not met, then LCO 3.1.3, Condition C would be entered. Condition C allows operation to continue, but the Required Action requires the core design to be re-evaluated prior to

Enclosure I Page 2 of 12 reaching an all rods out boron concentration of 300 ppm. If, subsequent to the failure of SR 3.1.3.3, but prior to the completion of the re-evaluation, the plant has either not completed power ascension into the Mode of Applicability or has exited the Mode of Applicability for some other reason (e.g., shut down), LCO 3.0.4.a would not allow entry into the Mode of Applicability (i.e., Modes 1, 2 and 3), as the ACTIONS do not allow indefinite operation in this Condition. Thus, absent relief from LCO 3.0.4, subsequent plant restart and/or power ascension would not be allowed. Because this is a variable or parameter that does not lend itself readily to the use of the new LCO 3.0.4.b, NMC proposes to include a Note invoking LCO 3.0.4.c in Required Action C.1 of LCO 3.1.3 in the Prairie Island TS.

As discussed in the Bases to LCO 3.1.3, the ITC lower limit is only of concern at EOC. For this reason the Completion Time allows plant operation to continue until "reaching the equivalent of an equilibrium RTP all rods out boron concentration of 300 ppm." This Completion Time defines the core "end of cycle" at which the lower ITC limit is of concern. Prior to this point in the core operating cycle, the plant can operate safely without concern for the ITC lower limit.

The wording of Required Action C.1 and the associated Completion Time clearly intended to allow plant operation to continue. The current Note intended power ascension to be allowed if Condition C was entered prior to entering the Mode of Applicability. The plant can continue to operate safely until the limit in the Completion Time is reached. If the Required Action C.1 is not completed by this time, Condition D would be entered, and the Mode of Applicability would be exited. Re-entering the Mode of Applicability is not allowed (neither currently nor with the proposed new LCO 3.0.4.c allowance) without completing the re-evaluation, as the Completion Time for Condition C would have already expired.

Thus, the proposed LCO 3.0.4.c allowance will preclude an unintended hardship with the adoption of TSTF-359, is consistent with the current licensing basis, and will not allow any undue relaxation in current operation.

Due to differences between each site's TS and TS Bases and their corresponding model STS (see Table below) in several cases variances from the TSTF marked-up changes are made. These variances are discussed below for each site and do not affect the adoption or application of TSTF-359, Revision 9.

Site STS NUREG STS Title Duane Arnold 1433 Rev. 2 Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants, BWR/4 Palisades 1432 Rev. 2 Standard Technical Specifications, Combustion Engineering Plants Point Beach 1431 Rev. 2 Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants Prairie Island 1431 Rev. 2 Standard Technical Specifications, Westinghouse Plants

Enclosure I Page 3 of 12 Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC)

1. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.4.6, RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to the ACTIONS.

The equivalent DAEC TS is LCO 3.4.5 (same title) and the equivalent Note, which is also being deleted, is located in Required Actions A and B.

2. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.6.3.1, Primary Containment Hydrogen Recombiners, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to Required Action A. 1. DAEC TS do not have an equivalent LCO, so these changes are not needed in the DAEC TS to adopt the TSTF.
3. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.6.3.2, Drywell Cooling System Fans, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to Required Action A.1. DAEC TS do not have an equivalent LCO, so these changes are not needed in the DAEC TS to adopt the TSTF.
4. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.6.3.4, Containment Atmosphere Dilution (CAD)

System, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to Required Action A.1. The equivalent DAEC TS is LCO 3.6.3.1 (same title).

However, the DAEC TS does not have such a Note and thus, do not require this change.

5. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.7.3, Diesel Generator (DG) [1 B] Standby Service Water System, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to the Required Actions for Condition A. DAEC TS do not have an equivalent LCO, so these changes are not needed in the DAEC TS to adopt the TSTF.

In addition, changes to the DAEC TS BASES are being made for consistency with the above TS changes, as allowed by the TS BASES Control Program of TS 5.5.10.

Palisades

1. Use of the term "unit" in applicable TSTF-359 LCO and Bases sections has been replaced with the word 'plant." Palisades TS currently uses the word "plant" instead of "unit" (example: LCO 3.0.3.) This change will maintain continuity with existing TS.
2. The STS uses the terminology "Reactor Coolant System (RCS)" in a number of LCOs, and corresponding Bases. Palisades uses the equivalent term "Primary Coolant System (PCS)" to describe the same system.
3. Palisades TS do not contain equivalent TS for the following TSTF-359 changes. Therefore, no changes are needed for any of the following:

Enclosure I Page 4 of 12 a) In NUREG-1 432, there are equivalent series of LCOs for plants with digital and analog control systems. Palisades has analog systems and thus, uses that series of LCOs in the STS.

b) LCO 3.3.1, RPS Instrumentation - Operating (Analog), deletion of the Note in Required Action E.1.

c) LCO 3.3.2, RPS Instrumentation - Shutdown (Analog), deletion of the Notes in Required Actions B.1 and D.1.

d) LCO 3.3.4, ESFAS Instrumentation (Analog), deletion of the Note in Required Action E.1.

e) LCO 3.3.6, DG - LOVS (Analog), deletion of the Note in Required Action B.2.1.

f) LCO 3.3.9, CVCS Isolation Signal (Analog), deletion of the Note in Required Action C.I.

g) LCO 3.5.3, ECCS - Shutdown, insertion of CEOG Insert 2.

h) LCO 3.6.9, HMS (Atmospheric and Dual), deletion of Note in Required Action A.1.

4. The following shows the minor variations from TSTF-359 changes due to Palisades-specific TS numbering:

a) In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.3.1 is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note in Required Action B.1. The equivalent change in the Palisades TS deletes the same Note in LCO 3.3.1 Required Action E.1 b) In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.3.4 is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note in Required Action C.1. The equivalent change in the Palisades TS deletes the same Note in LCO 3.3.3 Required Action B.1 c) In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.3.11 is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to the ACTIONS. The equivalent change in the Palisades TS deletes the same Note to the LCO 3.3.7 ACTIONS.

d) In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.3.12 is modified by deleting the 'LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to the ACTIONS. The equivalent change in the Palisades TS deletes the same Note to the LCO 3.3.8 ACTIONS.

e) In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.4.12 adds Note 2 to the ACTIONS that LCO 3.0.4.b is not applicable to PORVs when entering MODE 4. The Palisades TS do not have the STS Note 1 to the ACTIONS. Thus, the equivalent change in the Palisades TS adds the same Note to the LCO 3.4.12 ACTIONS as Note 1.

Enclosure I Page 5 of 12 f) In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.6.8 is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note in Required Action A.1. The equivalent change in the Palisades TS deletes the same Note to LCO 3.6.7 Required Action A.1.

Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP)

1. The changes to STS 3.3.4, Remote Shutdown System, are not being adopted. STS 3.3.4, Remote Shutdown System, was not adopted as part of PBNP's conversion to the Improved Technical Specifications (ITS). Therefore, this change is not applicable to PBNP.
2. The changes to STS 3.4.12, Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System, are being slightly modified to accommodate an existing Note.

PBNP TS 3.4.12, LTOP, contains an existing Note regarding Mode change restrictions that is not in the STS. The existing Note is consistent with the Note being added by TSTF-359. The variation being proposed consists of separately numbering the two Notes and modifying the TS Bases accordingly.

A statement in the Bases for the existing Note, which referred to TS language being deleted by TSTF-359, is also being deleted. Therefore, this change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-359.

3. The changes to PBNP TS 3.4.15, RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation, differ slightly from TSTF-359 due to plant-specific differences between the PBNP TS and STS. The STS 3.4.15 Note specified for deletion in TSTF-359 is contained in two separate but identical Notes in PBNP TS 3.4.15.

Therefore, both the corresponding Notes are being proposed for deletion. The corresponding discussion in the TS Bases, associated with these two Notes, is also being deleted. Therefore, this change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-359.

4. The changes to STS 3.6.8, Hydrogen Recombiners, are not being adopted.

STS 3.6.8, Hydrogen Recombiners, was not adopted as part of PBNP's conversion to the ITS. Therefore, this change is not applicable to PBNP.

5. The changes to STS 3.6.9, Hydrogen Mixing System, are not being adopted.

STS 3.6.9, Hydrogen Mixing System, was not adopted as part of PBNP's conversion to the ITS. Therefore, this change is not applicable to PBNP.

6. PBNP relies on Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) for startup. Therefore, the appropriate bracketed information in STS 3.7.5, Auxiliary Feedwater System, is being adopted in accordance with the Reviewers Note. The corresponding bracketed information is being adopted in the Bases for this TS.
7. The changes to the Bases for STS 3.7.5, Auxiliary Feedwater System, are being modified to substitute the term 'AFW pump system' for the term 'AFW train'. PBNP TS LCO 3.7.5, specifies Operability requirements for AFW 'pump

Enclosure I Page 6 of 12 systems' (vice the STS terminology of AFW 'trains'). This change is consistent with PBNP design and the PBNP TS and does not change the intent of TSTF-359.

8. The changes to STS 3.8.1, AC Sources - Operating, and its associated Bases, are being modified to substitute the term 'standby emergency power source' for the term 'DG'. PBNP TS LCO 3.8.1 specifies Operability requirements for 'standby emergency power sources' (vice the STS terminology of 'diesel generators [DGs]'). This change is consistent with PBNP design and the PBNP TS and does not change the intent of TSTF-359.

Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)

1. PINGP does not have STS LCO 3.3.4 for a Remote Shutdown System. The NUREG-1431 changes included in TSTF-359 for this LCO do not apply to PINGP TS and Bases and are not included.
2. Due to the cold overpressurization protection need to progressively isolate safety injection (SI) pumps as the RCS temperature is reduced in Mode 4, the STS LTOP requirements of LCO 3.4.12 are split into two specifications in PINGP TS, LCO 3.4.12 and 3.4.13. According to TSTF-359, Rev 9, Attachment 4, "Qualitative Risk Assessment Supporting Increased Flexibility in MODE Restraints," the controls on cold overpressurization are important in "the lower end of Mode 4." The intent of "lower end of Mode 4" was to apply to all temperatures included in the other Conditions of the Applicability of MODE 4 for the STS LTOP Specification. Therefore, the TSTF-359 Note prohibiting use of LCO 3.0.4.b to enter MODE 4 in STS LCO 3.4.12 is appropriately applied to both PINGP TS LCO 3.4.12 and 3.4.13.
3. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.4.15, RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to the ACTIONS. The equivalent PINGP TS is LCO 3.4.16 (same title) and the equivalent Note is also being deleted.
4. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.4.16, RCS Coolant Activity, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to Required Action A.1 and replacing it with a LCO 3.0.4.c is applicable Note. The equivalent PINGP TS is LCO 3.4.17 (same title) and the equivalent changes also being added.
5. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.5.3, ECCS - Shutdown, is modified by adding a LCO 3.0.4.b is not applicable Note to the ACTIONS for the ECCS high head subsystem. The PINGP TS use the terminology "safety injection" or "SI" in an equivalent Note.
6. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.6.8, Hydrogen Recombiner, is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to Required Action A.1. The

Enclosure I Page 7 of 12 equivalent PINGP TS is LCO 3.6.7 (same title) and the equivalent Note is also being deleted.

7. PINGP does not have STS LCO 3.6.9 for a Hydrogen Mixing System. The NUREG-1431 changes included in TSTF-359 for this LCO do not apply to PINGP TS and Bases and are not included.
8. In the TSTF mark-ups, STS 3.7.4, Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADVs), is modified by deleting the "LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable" Note to Required Action A.1. PINGP does not have an LCO for its ADVs. The equivalent TSTF LCO and Bases changes have been made to PINGP LCO 3.7.4, "Steam Generator (SG) Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs)." Therefore, this change is consistent with the intent of TSTF-359.

3.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination NMC has reviewed the proposed no significant hazards consideration determination published in FRN 68 FR 16579. NMC has concluded that the proposed no significant hazards consideration determination presented in the FRN is applicable to these sites and is hereby incorporated by reference to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91 (a).

3.2 Verification and Commitments As discussed in the notice of availability for this CLIIP published in FRN 68 FR 16579, plant-specific verifications were performed as follows:

NMC has established TS Bases for LCO 3.0.4 and SR 3.0.4 at each site, which state that use of the TS mode change limitation flexibility established by LCO 3.0.4 and SR 3.0.4 is not to be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated Mode or other specified condition in the TS Applicability.

This proposal also includes changes to the Bases for LCO 3.0.4 and SR 3.0.4 that provide details on how to implement the new requirements. The Bases changes provide guidance for changing Modes or other specified conditions in the Applicability when an LCO is not met. The Bases changes describe in detail how: LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time; LCO 3.0.4.b allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate; and LCO 3.0.4.c allows entry into a MODE or other

Enclosure I Page 8 of 12 specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met based on a Note in the Specification, which is typically applied to Specifications which describe values and parameters (e.g., Reactor Coolant System Specific Activity), though it may be applied to other Specifications based on NRC plant-specific approval. The Bases also state that any risk impact should be managed through the program in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65 (a)(4) and its implementation guidance, NRC Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risks Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants," and that the results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. In addition, the bases state that upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met, LCO 3.0.1 and LCO 3.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the LCO is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the Technical Specification. The Bases also state that SR 3.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified Frequency, provided the requirement to declare the LCO not met has been delayed in accordance with SR 3.0.3.

Finally, each site's TS have a Bases Control Program consistent with Section 5.5 of their respective STS (identified in Section 2.2 above), and the equivalent of STS SR 3.0.1 and associated Bases.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION NMC has reviewed the environmental evaluation included in the Staffs model safety evaluation included in FRN 68 FR 16579 and concludes that the Staffs findings presented in that evaluation are applicable to these sites and the evaluation is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.

LCO 3.0.4 establishes limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when an LCO is not met. It allows placing the unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (e.g., he Applicability desired to be entered) when unit conditions are such that the requirements of the LCO would not be met, in accordance with LCO 3.0.4.a, LCO 3.0.4.b. or LCO 3.0.4.c.

LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with Required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation. This is without regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change. Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with the provisions of the Required Actions.

LCO 3.0.4.b allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components. consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate.

The risk assessment may use quantitative. qualitative, or blended approaches. and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plant program. procedures. and criteria in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). which requires that risk impacts of maintenance activities to be assessed and managed. The risk assessment, for the purposes of LCO 3.0.4 (1!.

must take into account all inoperable Technical Specification equipment regardless of whether the equipment is included in the normal 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) risk assessment scope. The risk assessments will be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.182. "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants." Regulatory Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance in Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01. "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These documents address general guidance for conduct of the risk assessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These include actions to plan and conduct other activities in a manner that controls overall risk. increased risk awareness by shift and management personnel.

actions to reduce the duration of the condition, actions to minimize the magnitude of risk increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the proposed MODE change is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the probability of completing restoration such that the requirements of the

DAEC BASES Inserts LCO would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS Completion Times that would require exiting the Applicability.

LCO 3.0.4.b may be used with single. or multiple systems and components unavailable.

NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.

The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. The LCO 3.0.4.b risk assessments do not have to be documented.

The Technical Specifications allow continued operation with equipment unavailable in MODE I for the duration of the Completion Time. Since this is allowable, and since in general the risk impact in that particular MODE bounds the risk of transitioning into and through the applicable MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability of the LCO. the use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance should be generally acceptable. as long as the risk is assessed and managed as stated above. However, there is a small subset of systems and components that have been determined to be more important to risk and use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance is prohibited. The LCOs governing these system and components contain Notes prohibiting the use of LCO 3.0.4.b by stating that LCO 3.0.4.b is not applicable.

LCO 3.0.4.c allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met based on a Note in the Specification which states LCO 3.0.4.c is applicable. These specific allowances permit entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered do not provide for continued operation for an unlimited period of time and a risk assessment has not been performed. This allowance may apply to all the ACTIONS or to a specific Required Action of a Specification. The risk assessments performed to justify the use of LCO 3.0.4.b usually only consider systems and components. For this reason. LCO 3.0.4.c is typically applied to Specifications which describe values and parameters (e.g..

Reactor Coolant System Specific Activity!. and may be applied to other Specifications based on NRC plant-specific approval.

The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

The provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE I to MODE 2. MODE 2 to MODE 3. and MODE 3 to MODE 4.

DAEC BASES Inserts Upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met. LCO 3.0.1 and LCO 3.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the LCO is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the Technical Specification.

Surveillances do not have to be performed on the associated inoperable equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by SR 3.0.1. Therefore, utilizing LCO 3.0.4 is not a violation of SR 3.0.1 or SR 3.0.4 for mySurveillances that have not bg.performed on inoperable equipment. However, SRs must be met to ensure OPERABILITY prior to declaring the associated equipment OPERABLE (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected LCO.

DAEC BASES Inserts BASES Insert 2 (SR 3.0A BASES)

SR 3.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable SRs must be met before entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

This Specification ensures that system and component OPERABILITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the unit.

The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

A provision is included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability when an LCO is not met due to Surveillance not being met in accordance with LCO 3.0.4.

However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet an SR will not result in SR 3.0.4 restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, device, or variable is inoperable or outside its specified limits, the associated SR(s) are not required to be performed, per SR 3.0.1, which states that surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment. When equipment is inoperable, SR 3.0.4 does not apply to the associated SR(s) since the requirement for the SR(s) to be performed is removed. Therefore, failing to perform the Surveillance(s) within the specified Frequency does not result in an SR 3.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability. However, since the LCO is not met in this instance, LCO 3.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes. SR 3.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified Frequency. provided the requirement to declare the LCO not met has been delayed in accordance with SR 3.0.3.

The provisions of SR 3.0.4 shall not prevent entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of SR 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE I to MODE 2. MODE 2 to MODE 3. and MODE 3 to MODE 4.

The precise requirements for performance of SRs are specified such that exceptions to SR 3.0.4 are not necessary. The specific time frames and conditions necessary for meeting the SRs are specified in the Frequency, in the Surveillance, or both. This allows performance of Surveillances when the prerequisite condition(s) specified in a Surveillance procedure require entry into the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the associated LCO prior to the performance or completion of a

DAEC BASES Inserts Surveillance. A Surveillance that could not be performed until after entering the LCO's Applicability, would have its Frequency specified such that it is not "due" until the specific conditions needed are met. Alternately, the Surveillance may be stated in the form of a Note, as not required (to be met or performed) until a particular event, condition, or time has been reached. Further discussion of the specific formats of SRs' annotation is found in Section 1.4, Frequency.

BASES Insert 3 (LCO 3.5.1, ECCS - OPERATING)

A Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable HPCI System. There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with an inoperable HPCI System and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b. which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components. should not be applied in this circumstance.

If the LCO and the Required Actions of LCO 3.7.8 are not met while in MODE 1, 2, or 3, there is no safety benefit to be gained by placing the unit in a shutdown condition. The Required Action of LCO 3.7.8 of "Suspend movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the spent fuel storage pool" is the appropriate Required Action to complete in lieu of the actions of LCO 3.0.3. These exceptions are addressed in the individual Specifications.

SR Applicability B 3.0 BASES SR 3.0.3 addition to unit conditions, planning, availability of (continued) personnel, and the time required to perform the Surveillance. This risk impact should be managed through the program in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and its implementation guidance, NRC Regulatory Guide 1.182,

'Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants.' This Regulatory Guide addresses consideration of temporary and aggregate risk impacts, determination of risk management action thresholds, and risk management action up to and including plant shutdown. The missed Surveillance should be treated as an emergent condition as discussed in the Regulatory Guide. The risk evaluation may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended methods. The degree of depth and rigor of the evaluation should be commensurate with the importance of the component.

Missed Surveillances for important components should be analyzed quantitatively. If the results of the risk evaluation determine the risk increase is significant, this evaluation should be used to determine the safest course of action. All missed Surveillances will be placed in the Corrective Action Program.

If a Surveillance is not completed within the allowed delay period, then the equipment is considered inoperable or the variable is considered outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable LCO Conditions begin immediately upon expiration of the delay period. If a Surveillance is failed within the delay period, then the equipment is inoperable, or the variable is outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable LCO Conditions begin immediately upon the failure of the Surveillance.

Completion of the Surveillance within the delay period allowed by this Specification, or within the Completion Time of the ACTIONS, restores compliance with SR 3.0.1.

Section 1.3, Completion Times, specifies that once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition. Section 1.3 also specifies that Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply for each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition. However, the Required Actions for inoperable PAM instrumentation channels provide appropriate compensatory measures for separate Functions or for separate penetration flow paths for the PCIV Position Function. As such, a Note has been provided that allows separate Condition entry for each inoperable PAM Function including separate Condition entry for each penetration flow path for the PCIV Position Function.

A.1 When one or more Functions have one required channel that is inoperable, the required inoperable channel must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. The 30 day Completion Time is based on operating experience and takes into account the remaining OPERABLE channels (or, in the case of a Function that has only one required channel, other non-Regulatory Guide 1.97 instrument channels to monitor the Function), the passive nature of the instrument (no critical automatic action is assumed to occur from these instruments), and the low probability of an event requiring PAM instrumentation during this interval.

Remote Shutdown System B 3.3.3.2 BASES LCO The Remote Shutdown System instruments and transfer/control (continued) circuits covered by this LCO do not need to be energized to be considered OPERABLE. This LCO is intended to ensure that the instruments and transfer/control circuits will be OPERABLE if plant conditions require that the Remote Shutdown System be placed in operation.

APPLICABILITY The Remote Shutdown System LCO is applicable in MODES 1 and 2. This is required so that the plant can be placed and maintained in MODE 3 for a period of time from a location other than the control room.

This LCO is not applicable in MODES 3, 4, and 5. In these MODES, the plant is already subcritical and in a condition of reduced Reactor Coolant System energy. Under these conditions, considerable time is available to restore necessary instrument control Functions if control room instruments or control becomes unavailable. Consequently, the TS do not require OPERABILITY in MODES 3, 4, and 5.

Since each LLS logic normally receives inputs from three SRV pressure switch channels per SRV (and also receives inputs from the other SRV pressure switch channels from the other logic by an arming signal), the LLS logic and instrumentation remains capable of performing its safety function if any SRV tailpipe pressure switch becomes inoperable since each SRV LLS arming logic can be actuated by any two out of the three pressure switches installed on the associated SRV tailpipe. Therefore, it is acceptable for plant operation to continue with only two tailpipe pressure switches OPERABLE on each SRV.

Required Action B.1 requires restoration of the tailpipe pressure switches to OPERABLE status prior to entering MODE 2 or 3 from MODE 4 to ensure that all switches are OPERABLE at the beginning of a reactor startup (this is because the switches are not accessible during plant operation). The Required Actions do not allow placing the channel in trip since this action could result in a LLS valve actuation. As notcd,LCI 3.0.4 is net applceable, thus allow.'ng entr-y into MODE 1 froem MODE 2 or into MODE 2 from MODE 3 with inoperablc channels. This allowanec is aceeptablc sine the channels may require MODE 4 operation

-to effeetrci.

A failure of two or more pressure switches associated with one SRV tailpipe could result in the loss of the LLS function (i.e., actuation of the SRV would go undetected by the LLS logic). However, both the limiting transient (MSIV closure event) and the limiting accident (small break LOCA with early isolation due to loss of offsite power) that the LLS System is designed to mitigate would result in all six SRVs lifting (Ref. 2). Therefore, it would be very unlikely that a single SRV would be required to arm both LLS logics. Therefore, it is acceptable to allow 14 days to restore two pressure switches to each of the associated SRVs to OPERABLE status (Required Action C.1). If at least two tailpipe pressure switches to each associated SRV cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, Condition D must be entered and its Required Action taken. The Required Actions do not allow placing the channels in trip since this action could result in a LLS valve actuation.

This allowanee is provided becausc other in-trumentation is available to monitor RCS leakage.

B.1 With all six gaseous and particulate Primary Containment Air Sampling System channels inoperable, action to restore the required Primary Containment Air Sampling System to OPERABLE status is required immediately. This is allowed because leakage can still be quantified by the Drywell Sump System.

C.1 and C.

With all six gaseous and particulate Primary Containment Air Sampling System channels and the Drywell Sump System inoperable, no means of detecting LEAKAGE is available.

RHR Shutdown Cooling System - Hot Shutdown B 3.4.7 BASES APPLICABILITY slightly higher than the RCIC Steam Supply Line Pressure -

(continued) Low isolation pressure) because the RCS pressure may exceed the design pressure of the shutdown cooling piping. Decay heat removal at reactor pressures greater than or equal to the RCIC Steam Supply Line Pressure - Low isolation pressure is typically accomplished by condensing the steam in the main condenser. Providing this operational overlap between the different pressures allows a smooth transition between these methods of decay heat removal. Additionally, in MODE 2 below this pressure, the OPERABILITY requirements for the Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS)(LCO 3.5.1, "ECCS - Operating") do not allow placing the RHR shutdown cooling subsystem into operation.

The requirements for decay heat removal in MODES 4 and 5 are discussed in LCO 3.4.8, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR)

ECCS - Operating B 3.5.1 BASES (continued)

ACTIONS Al.

If any one RHR pump is inoperable, the inoperable pump must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. In this BASES condition, the remaining OPERABLE pumps provide adequate core Insert 3 cooling during a LOCA. However, overall LPCI reliability is reduced, because a single failure in one of the remaining OPERABLE pumps, concurrent with a LOCA, may result in LPCI not being able to perform its intended safety function. The 30 day Completion Time is based on a reliability study cited in Reference 12 that evaluated the impact on ECCS availability.

assuming various components and subsystems were taken out of service. The results were used to calculate the average availability of ECCS equipment needed to mitigate the consequences of a LOCA as a function of allowable repair times (i.e., Completion Times).

B-1 If any one low pressure ECCS subsystem is inoperable for reasons other than Condition A, the inoperable subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE subsystems provide adequate core cooling during a LOCA. However, overall ECCS reliability is reduced, because a single failure in one of the remaining OPERABLE subsystems, concurrent with a LOCA, may result in the ECCS not being able to perform its intended safety function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on a reliability study (Ref. 12) that evaluated the impact on ECCS availability, assuming various components and subsystems were taken out of service. The results were used to calculate the average availability of ECCS equipment needed to mitigate the consequences of a LOCA as a function of out of service times (i.e., Completion Times).

DAEC B 3.5-7 Amendment4-23TSCR-064 I

RCIC System B 3.5.3 BASES APPLICABILITY required to be OPERABLE since the low pressure ECCS (continued) subsystems can provide sufficient flow to the RPV and since RPV pressure is insufficient to drive the RCIC turbine.

ACTIONS / .1 and A.2 If the RCIC System is inoperable during MODE 1, or MODE 2 or 3 with reactor steam dome pressure > 150 psig, and the HPCI BASES System is immediately verified to be OPERABLE, the RCIC Insert 4 System must be restored to OPERABLE status within 14 days.

In this Condition, loss of the RCIC System will not affect the overall plant capability to provide makeup inventory at high reactor pressure since the HPCI System is the only high pressure system assumed to function during a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). OPERABILITY of HPCI is therefore verified immediately within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> when the RCIC System is inoperable. This may be performed as an administrative check, by examining logs or other information, to determine if HPCI is out of service for maintenance or other reasons.

It does not mean it is necessary to perform the Surveillances needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the HPCI System. If the OPERABILITY of the HPCI System cannot be verified immediately, however, Condition B must be immediately entered. For transients and certain abnormal events with no LOCA, RCIC (as opposed to HPCI) is the preferred source of makeup coolant because of its relatively small capacity, which allows easier control of the RPV water level. Therefore, a limited time is allowed to restore the inoperable RCIC to OPERABLE status.

The 14 day Completion Time is based on a reliability study (Ref. 3) that evaluated the impact on ECCS availability, assuming various components and subsystems were taken out of service. The results were used to calculate the average availability of ECCS equipment needed to mitigate the consequences of a LOCA as a function of out of service times. Because of similar functions of HPCI and RCIC, the out of service times (i.e., Completion Times) determined for HPCI are also applied to RCIC.

B-.

With one RHRSW pump inoperable in each subsystem, if no additional failures occur, then the remaining OPERABLE pumps and flow paths provide adequate heat removal capacity following a design basis LOCA. However, an additional single failure in the RHRSW System could reduce the system capability below that assumed in the safety analysis.

Therefore, continued operation is permitted only for a limited time. One inoperable pump is required to be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. The 7 day Completion Time for restoring one inoperable RHRSW pump to OPERABLE status is based on engineering judgment, considering the level of redundancy provided.

CA1 Required Action C.1 is intended to handle the inoperability of one RHRSW subsystem for reasons other than Condition A.

The Completion Time of 7 days is allowed to restore the RHRSW subsystem to OPERABLE status. With the unit in this condition, the remaining OPERABLE RHRSW subsystem is adequate to perform the RHRSW heat removal function.

However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE RHRSW subsystem could result in loss of RHRSW function. The Completion Time is based on the redundant RHRSW capabilities afforded by the OPERABLE subsystem and the low probability of an event occurring requiring RHRSW during this period.

The Required Action is modified by a Note indicating that the applicable Conditions of LCO 3.4.7, be entered and Required Actions taken if the inoperable RHRSW subsystem results in an inoperable RHR shutdown cooling subsystem.

ACTIONS With one CBC subsystem inoperable, the inoperable CBC subsystem must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. With the unit in this condition, the remaining OPERABLE CBC subsystem is adequate to perform the control building air conditioning function. However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE subsystem could result in loss of the control building air conditioning function.

Surveillances do not have to be performed on the associated inoperable equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by SR 3.0.1. Therefore, changing MODES or other speified conditions while in an ACTIONS Condition, in compliaecc with tilizing LCO 3.0.4 of where an exception to LCO 3.0.4 is stated, is not a violation of SR 3.0.1 or SR 3.0.4 for heseany Surveillances that deuot-have notte been performed ondue to the asseoiated inoperable equipment. However, SRs must be met to ensure OPERABILITY prior to declaring the associated equipment OPERABLE (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected LCO.

LCO 3.0.5 LCO 3.0.5 establishes the allowance for restoring equipment to service under administrative controls when it has been removed from service or declared hioperable to comply with ACTIONS. The sole purpose of this Specification Is to provide an exception to LCO 3.0.2 (e.g., to not comply with the applicable Required Action(s)) to allow the performance of required testing to demonstrate:

a. The OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service; or
b. The OPERABILITY of other equipment.

The administrative controls ensure the time the equipment is returned to service in conflict with the requirements of the ACTIONS is limited to the time absolutely necessary to perform the required testing to demonstrate OPERABILITY. This Specification does not provide time to perform any other preventive or corrective maintenance.

An example of demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service Is reopening a containment isolation valve that has been closed to comply with Required Actions and must be reopened to perform the required testing.

If a Surveillance Is failed within the delay period, then the equipment Is inoperable, or the variable Is outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable LCO Conditions begin immediately upon the failure of the Surveillance.

Completion of the Surveillance within the delay period allowed by this Specification, or within the Completion Time of the ACTIONS, restores compliance with SR 3.0.1.

SR 3.0.4 SR 3.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable SRs must be met before entry into a MODE or other specified Condition in the Applicability.

This Specification ensures that system and component OPERABILITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the plant.

The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability. [INSERT 5]

However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet an SR will not result In SR 3.0.4 restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, device, or variable Is Inoperable or outside its specified limits, the associated SR(s) are not required to be performed, per SR 3.0.1, which states that surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment.

When equipment is Inoperable, SR 3.0.4 does not apply to the associated SR(s) since the requirement for the SR(s) to be performed is removed.

Therefore, failing to perform the Surveillance(s) within the specified Frequency does not result in an SR 3.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability. However, since the LCO is not met in this Instance, LCO 3.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes.

INSERT I LCO 3.0.4.a allows entry Into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation In the MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability for an unlimited period of time.

INSERT2 LCO 3.0.4.b allows entry Into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, If appropriate.

The risk assessment may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended approaches, and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plant program, procedures, and criteria In place to Implement 10 CFR50.65(a)(4), which requires that risk impacts of maintenance activities to be assessed and managed. The risk assessment, for purposes of LCO 3.0.4.b, must take into account all Inoperable Technical Specification equipment regardless of whether the equipment is Included in the normal 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) risk assessment scope. The risk assessments will be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants."

Regulatory Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance In Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01, 'Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These documents address general guidance for conduct of the risk assessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These Include actions to plan and conduct other activities In a manner that controls overall risk, Increased risk awareness by shift and management personnel, actions to reduce the duration of the condition, actions to minimize the magnitude of risk Increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the proposed MODE change Is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the probability of completing restoration such that the requirements of the LCO would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS Completion Times that would require exiting the Applicability.

LCO 3.0.4.b may be used with single, or multiple systems and components unavailable.

NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.

The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. The LCO 3.0.4.b risk assessments do not have to be documented.

The Technical Specifications allow continued operation with equipment unavailable In MODE I for the duration of the Completion Time. Since this is allowable, and since in general the risk Impact in that particular MODE bounds the risk of transitioning into and through the applicable MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability of the LCO, the use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance should be generally acceptable, as long as the risk is assessed and managed as stated above. However, there Is a small subset of systems and components that have been determined to be more important to risk and use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance Is prohibited.

The LCOs governing these system and components contain Notes prohibiting the use of LCO 3.0.4.b by stating that LCO 3.0.4.b is not applicable.

These specific allowances permit entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered do not provide for continued operation for an unlimited period of time and a risk assessment has not been performed. This allowance may apply to all the ACTIONS or to a specific Required Action of a Specification.

The risk assessments performed to justify the use of LCO 3.0.4.b usually only consider systems and components. For this reason, LCO 3.0.4.c is typically applied to Specifications which describe values and parameters (e.g., primary coolant system specific activity), and may be applied to other Specifications based on NRC plant-specific approval.

INSERT 3 In addition, the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes In MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any plant shutdown. In this context, a plant shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE I to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.

INSERT4 Upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met, LCO 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the LCO Is met, or until the plant Is not within the Applicability of the Technical Specification.

INSERT 5 A provision is included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability when an LCO is not met due to Surveillance not being met In accordance with LCO 3.0.4.

INSERT 6:

SR 3.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified Frequency, providing the requirement to declare the LCO not met has been delayed in accordance with SR 3.0.3.

INSERT 7:

In addition, the provisions of SR 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any plant shutdown. In this context, a plant shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE I to MODE2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.

RPS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES ACTIONS D.1 and D.2 (continued)

Condition D applies when one or more automatic ZPM Bypass removal channels are inoperable. If the ZPM Bypass removal channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status, the affected ZPM Bypasses must be immediately removed, or the bypassed RPS trip Function channels must be Immediately declared to be inoperable. Unless additional circuit failures exist, the ZPM Bypass may be removed by placing the associated Zero Power Mode Bypass' key operated switch In the normal position.

A trip channel which Is actually bypassed, other than as allowed by the Table 3.3.1-1 footnotes, cannot perform its specified safety function and must immediately be declared to be inoperable.

E.1 and E.2 Condition E applies to the failure of two channels in any RPS Function, except ZPM Bypass Removal Function. (The failure of ZPM Bypass Removal Functions is addressed by Condition D.).

Condition E is modified by a Note stating that this Condition does not apply to the ZPM Bypass Removal Function.

The Rcquired Actions arc modified by a NPat stating that LCO 3.0.4 Is net applicable. The Nete queo addod_hanging to allow the.f MODES even though two channoo are Inoperable, with one channel tripped.

ESF Instrumentation B 3.3.3 BASES ACTIONS B.1 and B.2 (continued)

(continued)

Condition B is modified by a Note which Indicates that It Is not applicable to the SIRWT Low Level Function. The Required Action l_

also medifib, No stating that LCO 3.0.4 is not applicable. The channeol are Ineperabse, with oen ehannel tripped. MODE ohange: In this:eonfiguration are allowed, to permit maintenanec and testing on one of theIncperablc ehannels. In this configuration, the proteetion system is in a one eut of twe logic, and the probability of a common cause failure affeeting both ef the OPERABLE ehannecs during the 7 dayo permitted OsFcmete.

C.1 and C.2 Condition C applies to one RAS SIRWT Low Level channel inoperable.

The SIRWT low level circuitry is arranged in a "1-out-of-2 taken twice" logic rather than the more frequently used 2-out-of-4 logic. Therefore, Required Action C.1 differs from other ESF functions. With a bypassed SIRWT low level channel, an additional failure might disable automatic RAS, but would not initiate a premature RAS. With a tripped channel, an additional failure could cause a premature RAS, but would not disable the automatic RAS.

Since considerable time is available after initiation of SIS until RAS must be Initiated, and since a premature RAS could damage the ESF pumps, it is preferable to bypass an Inoperable channel and risk loss of automatic RAS than to trip a channel and risk a premature RAS.

The Completion Time of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> allowed Is reasonable because the Required Action involves a circuit modification.

Required Action C.2 requires that the inoperable channel be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days. The Completion Time is reasonable based upon operating experience, which has demonstrated that a random failure of a second channel occurring during the 7 day period is a low probability event.

PAM Instrumentation B 3.3.7 BASES APPLICABILITY The PAM instrumentation LCO Is applicable In MODES 1, 2, and 3.

These variables are related to the diagnosis and preplanned actions required to mitigate DBAs. The applicable DBAs are assumed to occur In MODES 1, 2, and 3. In MODES 4, 5, and 6, plant conditions are such that the likelihood of an event occurring that would require PAM Instrumentation Is low; therefore, PAM Instrumentation is not required to be OPERABLE In these MODES.

ACTIONS Nete I has been added In the ACTIONS to exelud: theo MODE ehang roetriftion of LCO 3.0.4. This cxception allows entry into the applicable MODE while relying on the ACTIONS, even though the ACTIONS may eventually require plant shutdown. This cxeeption is acoptablc due to the pass-yc functien of the inotFUmnents, the opcr~ater'o ability to moeniter an acSident using altrnateo instruments and mcethods, and the low rtFlnumentT.

prebability ef an eyent reguiAing these A Note 2 has been added In the ACTIONS to clarify the application of Completion Time rules. The Conditions of this Specification may be entered independently for each Function listed in Table 3.3.7-1. The Completion Time(s) of the inoperable channel(s) of a Function will be tracked separately for each Function, starting from the time the Condition was entered for that Function.

A.1 When one or more Functions have one required channel that Is inoperable, the required Inoperable channel must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. The 30 day Completion Time is based on operating experience and takes into account the remaining OPERABLE channel, the passive nature of the instrument (no critical automatic action is assumed to occur from these Instruments), and the low probability of an event requiring PAM instrumentation during this interval.

Alternate Shutdown System B 3.3.8 BASES ACTIONS A Notc has been lncluded that excludes the MODE change rcstriotions ef LCO 3.0.4. This cxeeption allows entry Into an applicable MODE whle relying en the ACTIONS, even though the ACTIONS may cventually requlre a plant shutdown. This is oeeeptablc due to the low przbability of an event requiring this systzm. The Altecrnat. Shutdwn System equipment ean generally be repaired during operation Without significant Fisk of spurious trip.

r Note 2 has been added In the ACTIONS to clarify the application of Completion Time rules. The Conditions of this Specification may be entered Independently for each Function listed In Table 3.3.8-1. The Completion Time of the inoperable channel of a Function will be tracked separately for each Function, starting from the time the Condition was entered for that Function.

AI Condition A addresses the situation where the required channels of the Remote Shutdown System are Inoperable. This Includes any Function listed In Table 3.3.8-1 as well as the control and transfer switches.

Required Action A.1 Is to restore the channel to OPERABLE status within 30 days. This allows time to complete repairs on the failed channel. The Completion Time Is based on operating experience and the low probability of an event that would require evacuation of the control room.

B.1 and B.2 If the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A are not met, the plant must be brought to a MODE In which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 4 within 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required MODE from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

Pressurizer PORVs B 3.4.11 BASES ACTIONS The ACTIONS are modified by twe Notes. Mfe Note 4 clarifies that each pressurizer PORV Is treated as a separate entity, each with separate Completion Times (i.e., the Completion Time Is on a component basis). Note 2 is an cxeeption to LCO 3.0.4. The cxeeptin for LCO 3.0.4 permlits entry Into MODES 1, 2, and 3 to perform cycling of the PQR0V to verify their OPE1RABLE status.

A.1 and A.2 If one PORV Is Inoperable It must either be Isolated, by closing the associated block valve, or restored to OPERABLE status. The Completion Time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> is reasonable based on the small potential that the PORVs will be required to function during this time period and provides the operator adequate time to correct the situation. If the inoperable valve cannot be restored to OPERABLE status, it must be Isolated within the specified time. Because there Is at least one PORV that remains OPERABLE, an additional 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is provided to restore the Inoperable PORV to OPERABLE status. Mechanical system LCOs typically provide a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time under conditions when a required system can perform its required safety function, but may not be able to do so assuming an additional failure. When operating in accordance with the Required Actions of an LCO Condition, it Is not necessary to be able to cope with an additional single failure BW and B.2 If one block valve is inoperable, then It must be restored to OPERABLE status, or the associated PORV placed in manual control. Placing a PORV in manual control is accomplished by placing the PORV hand switch in the 'CLOSE' position. The prime Importance for the capability to close the block valve Is to isolate a stuck open PORV. Therefore, if the block valve cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, the Required Action is to place the PORV In manual control to preclude its automatic opening for an overpressure event and to avoid the potential for a stuck open PORV at a time that the block valve Is Inoperable. The Completion Time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> is reasonable based on the small potential that the PORVs will be required to function during this time period and provides the operator time to correct the situation. Because at least one PORV remains OPERABLE, the operator Is permitted a Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to restore the inoperable block valve to OPERABLE status.

Palisades Nuclear Plant B 3.4.11-5 Amcndment No 18-Revised 08/09J2000

LTOP System B 3.4.12 BASES APPLICABILITY This LCO Is applicable in MODE 3 when the temperature of any PCS cold leg is < 4300F, in MODES 4 and 5, and In MODE 6 when the reactor vessel head is on. The pressurizer safety valves provide overpressure protection that meets the Reference I PIT limits at and above 430 0F.

When the reactor vessel head is off, overpressurization cannot occur.

LCO 3.4.3 provides the operational PIT limits for all MODES.

LCO 3.4.10, "Pressurizer Safety Valves," requires the OPERABILITY of the pressurizer safety valves that provide overpressure protection during MODES 1 and 2, and MODE 3 with all PCS cold leg temperatures 2 4300 F.

Low temperature overpressure prevention is most critical during shutdown when the PCS is water solid, and a mass addition or a heatup transient can cause a very rapid increase in PCS pressure with little or no time available for operator action to mitigate the event.

ACTIONS A Note prohibits the applicaUon of LCO 3.0.4.b to inoperable PORVs used for LTOP. There is an increased risk associated with entering MODE 4 from MODE 5 with PORVs used for LTOP inoperable and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which allow entry Into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, should not be applied in this circumstance. A-Nete has bcen addcd In the ACTIONS to exclude the MODE ehange restriction cf Con 3.0.4. Ths execptien allews entr; inte the applioable MODE while relying en the ACTIONS, oven though the ACTIONS may cventuatly require a plant shutdown. The intent of this mceeptien is to allew the plant tc enter the LTOP MODE with an inoperable POiR from MODES I and 2, and MODE 3 with all PCS cold leg temperature ! 4302F, to facilitate valve repairs. This cxeeption is acoeptable sinec the Required Actions provide the appropriate compensatory measures commensurate with PQR'V ineperabilites.

With one or two HPSI pumps capable of Injecting into the PCS, overpressurization Is possible.

The immediate Completion Time to initiate actions to restore restricted coolant injection capability to the PCS reflects the Importance of maintaining overpressure protection of the PCS.

Palisades Nuclear Plant B 3.4.12-8 Revised 07122QGG

PCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation B 3.4.15 BASES APPLICABILITY Since the temperatures and pressures are far lower than those for (continued) MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the likelihood of leakage and crack propagation Is much smaller. Therefore, the requirements of this LCO are not applicable In MODES 5 and 6.

A.1 and A.2 If one or two required leak detection instrument channels are inoperable, a periodic surveillance for PCS water Inventory balance, SR 3.4.13.1, must be performed at an Increased frequency of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to provide Information that is adequate to detect leakage.

As stated in SR 3.0.2, the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2 may be applied to Required Actions whose Completion Time Is stated as 'once per .. ." however, the 25% extension does not apply to the initial performance of a Required Action with a periodic Completion Time that requires performance on a "once per ... " basis. The 25% extension applies to each performance of the Required Action after the Initial performance. Therefore, while Required Action 3.4.15 A.1 must be initially performed within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> without any SR 3.0.2 extension, subsequent performances may utilize the 25% SR 3.0.2 extension.

Restoration of the required instrument channels to an OPERABLE status is required to regain the function in a Completion Time of 30 days after the Instrument's failure. This time is acceptable considering the frequency and adequacy of the PCS water Inventory balance required by Required Action A.1.

B.1 and 3.2 If the Required Action cannot be met within the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

PCS Specific Activity B 3.4.16 BASES APPLICABILITY In MODES I and 2, and In MODE 3 with PCS average temperature 2 500 0F, operation within the LCO limits for DOSE EQUIVALENT --131 and gross specific activity Is necessary to contain the potential consequences of an SGTR to within the acceptable site boundary dose values.

For operation In MODE 3 with PCS average temperature < 500 0F, and in MODES 4 and 5, the release of radioactivity in the event of an SGTR Is unlikely since the saturation pressure corresponding to the primary coolant temperature Is below the lift settings of the atmospheric dump valves and main steam safety valves.

ACTIONS ANote permits the'use of the provisions of LCO 3,0.4.c. This allowance permits entry into the applicable MODE(S) while relying on the ACTIONS.

A1 and A.2 With the DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 greater than the LCO limit, samples at intervals of 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> must be taken to demonstrate the limit 40 pCi/gm Is not exceeded. The Completion Time of 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Is required to obtain and analyze a sample.

As stated In SR 3.0.2, the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2 may be applied to Required Actions whose Completion Time Is stated as 'once per. .

." however, the 25% extension does not apply to the initial performance of a Required Action with a periodic Completion rime that requires performance on a "once per .. " basis. The 25% extension applies to each performance of the Required Action after the Initial performance. Therefore, while Required Action 3.4.16 A.1 must be Initially performed within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> without any SR 3.0.2 extension, subsequent performances may utilize the 25% SR 3.0.2 extension.

Sampling must continue for trending. The DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 must be restored to within limits within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.

The Completion Time of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> Is required If the limit violation resulted from normal Iodine spiking.

A Note to the Required Actions of Condition A excludes the MODE change restriction of LCO 3.0.4. This exception allows entry Into the applicable MODE(S) while relying on the ACTIONS even though the ACTIONS may eventually require plant shutdown. This exception is acceptable due to the significant conservatism Incorporated into the specific activity limit, the low probability of an event which is limiting due to exceeding this limit, and the ability to restore transient specific activity excursions while the plant remains at, or proceeds to, power operation.

Palisades Nuclear Plant B 3.6.7-3 Amendmznt Ne. 189 Revised 4 1 O9/QGOG

Hydrogen Recombiners B 3.6.7 BASES APPLICABILITY In MODES I and 2, two hydrogen recombiners are required to control the post LOCA hydrogen concentration within containment below Its flammability limit of 4.1 vyo, assuming a worst case single failure.

In MODES 3 and 4, both the hydrogen production rate and the total hydrogen produced after a LOCA would be less than that calculated for the DBA LOCA. Also, because of the limited time In these MODES, the probability of an accident requiring the hydrogen recombiners Is low.

Therefore, the hydrogen recombiners are not required in MODE 3 or 4.

In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of a LOCA are low, due to the pressure and temperature limitations. Therefore, hydrogen recombiners are not required in these MODES.

ACTIONS Ad With one containment hydrogen recombiner Inoperable, the inoperable recombiner must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. In this condition, the remaining OPERABLE hydrogen recombiner is adequate to perform the hydrogen control function. The 30 day Completion Time is based on the availability of the other hydrogen recombiner, the small probability of a LOCA or MSLB occurring (that would generate an amount of hydrogen that exceeds the flammability limit), and the amount of time available after a LOCA or MSLB (should one occur) for operator action to prevent hydrogen accumulation from exceeding the flammability limit.

Required Atien A. hacs been modified by a Nete stating that the pricfsns ef LCOG 3.0.4 are net applicabic. As a result, a MODE ehenge Is allowed when one hydrogen recombincr Is ineperable. This allowance Is based on the availability of the ether hydregen recombincr, the small prcbability of a LOCA er MSLB eccurring (that weuld generate an ameunt of hydregen that cxceeds the flammability limit), and the ameunt of time available after a LOCA or MSLB (sheuld ene occur) fer operator action to prevent hvdrocn accumulation from cemcedine the flammability limit.

ADVs B 3.7.4 BASES ACTIONS All Requlrcd Actien A.1 is modified by; a Note Indieating thet LGO 3.0.4 dees nbt apply.

With one required ADV Inoperable, action must be taken to restore the ADV to OPERABLE status within 7 days. The 7 day Completion Time takes Into account the redundant capability afforded by the remaining OPERABLE ADV, and a nonsafety grade backup In the turbine bypass valve and MSSVs.

lu With two required ADVs inoperable, action must be taken to restore one of the ADVs to OPERABLE status. As the manual isolation valve can be closed to isolate an ADV, some repairs may be possible with the plant at power. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Completion Time Is reasonable to repair inoperable ADVs, based on the availability of the turbine bypass valve and MSSVs, and the low probability of an event occurring during this period that requires the ADVs.

C. and C.2 If the ADVs cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the associated Completion Time, the plant must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be placed In at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and In MODE 4, without reliance upon the steam generator for heat removal, within 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

Palisades Nuclear Plant B 3.7.4-3 Amendment No. 189 Revised 08/09/20OG

AFW System B 3.7.5 BASES APPLICABILITY In MODE 4, the AFW System may be used for heat removal via the (continued) steam generator.

In MODES 5 and 6, the steam generators are not normally used for decay heat removal, and the AFW System Is not required.

ACTIONS 8 Note prohib lbtse application of LCd 3.0.4.b to an inoperable AFW frin. There Is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability with an AFW train Inoperable nd the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, should not be applied In this circumstance.

Condition A Is applicable whenever one or more AFW trains is inoperable, in MODE 1, 2, or 3. Action A.1 requires restoration of both trains to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time is based on the assumption that at least 100% of the required AFW flow (that assumed In the safety analyses) Is available to each steam generator. If the flow available to either steam generator Is less than 100% of the required AFW flow, or If less than two AFW pumps are OPERABLE, Condition B must also be entered. In addition, If the combined flow available to both steam generators Is less than 100% of the required AFW flow, Condition C must be entered as well.

Mechanical system LCOs typically provide a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time under conditions when a required system can perform Its required safety function, but may not be able to do so assuming an additional failure.

When operating in accordance with the Required Actions of an LCO Condition, it Is not necessary to be able to cope with an additional single failure.

The AFW system can provide one hundred percent of the required AFW flow to each steam generator following the occurrence of any single active failure. Therefore, the AFW function can be met during conditions when those components which could be deactivated by a single active failure are known to be Inoperable. Under that condition, however, the ability to provide the function after the occurrence of an additional failure cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, continued operation with one or more trains Inoperable Is allowed only for a limited time.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES ACTIONS tNote prohibits the application of 100 3.0.4. to an inoperable 0G.

tiere is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other pecified condition In the Applicability with an Inoperable DG and the rovisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which allow entry Into a MODE or other pecified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing Inoperable systems and Components, should not be applied In this circumstance.

Ad1 To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with the one offsite circuit Inoperable, it is necessary to verify the OPERABILITY of the remaining required offsite circuit on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies "perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result In failure to meet this Required Action. However, If a second required circuit fails SR 3.8.1.1, the second offsite circuit is inoperable, and Condition C, for two offsite circuits inoperable, is entered.

As stated In SR 3.0.2, the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2 may be applied to Required Actions whose Completion Time is stated as 'once per. . ." however, the 25% extension does not apply to the initial performance of a Required Action with a periodic Completion Time that requires performance on a "once per. . ." basis. The 25% extension applies to each performance of the Required Action after the initial performance. Therefore, while Required Action 3.8.1 A.1 must be initially performed within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> without any SR 3.0.2 extension, subsequent performances at the 4Once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />' Interval may utilize the 25% SR 3.0.2 extension.

Compliance with Required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of fime Ina MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation.

This is without regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change. Therefore, In such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made Inaccordance with the provisions of the Required Actions.

The risk assessment may use quantitative. Qualitative. or blended approaches. and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plant program. procedures. and criteria In place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). which requires that risk impacts of maintenance activities to be assessed and managed. The risk assessment, for the purposes of LCO 3.0A (b). must take into account all inoperable Technical Specification equipment regardless of whether the equipment Is included in the normal 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) risk assessment scone. The risk assessments will be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.182. "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants." Regulatorv Point Beach B 3.0-5 Unit I - Amendment No. 201 Unit 2 - Amendment No. 206

LCO Applicability B 3.0 BASES LCO 3.0.4 Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance In Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01.

(continued) lIndustrv Guideline for Wrnitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These documents address general guidance for conduct of the risk assessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These include actions to plan and conduct other activities In a manner that controls overall risk, Increased risk awareness by shift and management Personnel, actions to reduce the duration of the condition. actions to minimize the magnitude of risk Increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the Proposed MODE change Is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the Probability of completina restoration such that the requirements of the LCO would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS Completion Times that would require exiting the ApDlicability.

LCO 3.0A.b may be used with single, or multiple systems and components unavailable. NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.

The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptabilitv of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability. and any corresponding risk manaaement actions. The LCO 3.0.4.b risk assessments do not have to be documented.

The Technical Specifications allow continued operation with equipment unavailable in MODE I for the duration of the Comdletion Time. Since this is allowable, and since In general the risk Impact in that particular MODE bounds the risk of transitioninq into and through the applicable MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability of the LCO. the use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance should be generally acceptable. as long as the risk Is assessed and managed as stated above. However.

there Is a small subset of systems and components that have been determined to be more important to risk and use of the LCO 3.0.4.b allowance Is prohibited. The LCOs goveming these system and components contain Notes prohibiting the use of LCO 3.0.4.b by stating that LCO 3.0.4.b Is not applicable.

LCO 3.0.4.c allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met based on a Note In the Specification which states LCO 3.0.4.c Is applicable. These specific allowances permit entry into MODES or other specified conditions In the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered do not provide for continued operation for an unlimited period of time and a risk assessment has not been performed. This allowance may apply to Point Beach B 3.0-6 Unit 1 - Amendment No. 201 Unit 2 - Amendment No. 206

LCO Applicability B 3.0 BASES LCO 3.0.4 all the ACTIONS or to a specific Required Action of a Specification.

(continued) The risk assessments Performed to lustify the use of LCO 3.0.4.b usually only consider sYstems and components. For this reason. LCO 3.0A.c Is tvolcallv applied to Specifications which describe values and parameters (e.g.. Containment Air Temperature. Containment Pressure. Moderator Temperature Coefficient). and may be applied to other Snecifications based on NRC plant-specific approval.

The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

The provisions of LCO 3.0A shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes In MODES or other specified conditions In the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown Is defined as a change In MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE I to MODE

LCO Applicability B 3.0 BASES LCO 3.0.4 UDon entry Into a MODE or other specified condition in the ApDlicabilitY (continued) with the LCO not met. LCO 3.0.1 and LCO 3.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the LCO Is met, or until the unit is not within the ADplicability of the Technical Specification.

Surveillances do not have to be performed on the associated Inoperable equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by SR 3.0.1. Therefore, ehangingMODES or etheF specified conditions whilc in an ACTIONS Condition, in compliance withutilizina LCO 3.0.A or where an cxocption to LCO 3.0.4 is stated, is not a violation of SR 3.0.1 or SR 3.0.A for these-any Surveillances that deonet have not te-bebeen performed ondue to the associated Inoperable equipment. However, SRs must be met to ensure OPERABILITY prior to declaring the associated equipment OPERABLE (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected LCO.

LCO 3.0.5 LCO 3.0.5 establishes the allowance for restoring equipment to service under administrative controls when it has been removed from service or declared Inoperable to comply with ACTIONS. The sole purpose of this Specification Is to provide an exception to LCO 3.0.2 (e.g., to not comply with the applicable Required Action(s)) to allow the performance of required testing to demonstrate:

a. The OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service; or
b. The OPERABILITY of other equipment The administrative controls ensure the time the equipment Is operated in conflict with the requirements of the ACTIONS Is limited to the time absolutely necessary to perform the required testing to demonstrate OPERABILITY. This Specification does not provide time to perform any other preventive or corrective maintenance.

An example of demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the equipment being returned to service Is reopening a containment isolation valve that has been closed to comply with Required Actions, but must be reopened to perform the required testing.

An example of demonstrating the OPERABILITY of other equipment Is taking an Inoperable channel out of the tripped condition during the performance of required testing on another channel to prevent the trip function from occurring. A similar example of demonstrating the Point Beach B 3.0-8 Unit 1- Amendment No. 201 Unit 2 - Amendment No. 206

SR Applicability B 3.0 BASES SR 3.0.4 SR 3.0.A establishes the requirement that all applicable SRs must be met before entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

This Specification ensures that system and component OPERABILITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry Into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the unit.

The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or component to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability.

A provision Is included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Apolicabilitv when an LCO is not met due to Surveillance not being met In accordance with LCO 3.0.4.

However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet an SR will not result In SR 3.0.A restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, device, or variable Is inoperable or outside its specified limits, the associated SR(s) are not required to be performed, per SR 3.0.1, which states that surveillances do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment When equipment Is Inoperable, SR 3.0.4 does not apply to the associated SR(s) since the requirement for the SR(s) to be performed Is removed. Therefore, failing to perform the Surveillance(s) within the specified Frequency does not result in an SR 3.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability.

However, since the LCO is not met in this instance, LCO 3.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes. SR 3.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the soecified Freguency.

provided the requirement to declare the LCO not met has been delayed in accordance with SR 3.0.3.

The provisions of SR 3.0.A shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes In MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown Is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE

2. MODE 2 to MODE 3. MODE 3 to MODE 4. and MODE 4 to MODE 5.

SR Applicability B 3.0 BASES SR 3.OA (continued) The precise requirements for performance of SRs are specified such that exceptions to SR 3.0.4 are not necessary. The specific time frames and conditions necessary for meeting the SRs are specified in the Frequency, in the Surveillance, or both. This allows performance of Surveillances when the prerequisite condition(s) specified In a Surveillance procedure require entry Into the MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability of the associated LCO prior to the performance or completion of a Surveillance. A Surveillance that could not be performed until after entering the LCO's Applicability would have I its Frequency specified such that It Is not "due" until the specific conditions needed are met. Aitemately, the Surveillance may be stated In the form of a Note as not required (to be met or performed) until a particular event, condition, or time has been reached. Further discussion of the specific formats of SRs' annotation is found in Section 1.4, Frequency.

SR 3.0.4 is only applicabie when entcring MODE 4 frm MODE 6-,

MODE 3 from MODE 4, Modc 2 ftro MODE 3, or MODE I from MODE 2. Furheirmore, SR 3.0.4 is applicablc when entering any other specified condition in the Appflcability only Ywhilc operating in MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4.

PAM Instrumentation B 3.3.3 BASES LCO (continued) - to regulate AFW flow so that the SG tubes remain covered.

AFW flow Is a Type A variable because operator action is required to throttle flow during an SLB accident to prevent the AFW pumps from operating In runout conditions. AFW flow Is also used by the operator to verify that the AFW System Is delivering the correct flow to each SG. However, the primary indication used by the operator to ensure an adequate Inventory is SG level.

25. Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Level RWST Level is a Type A variable provided for verifying a water source to the Si System during the injection phase of a LOCA, and to indicate when manual switchover to recirculation is required on decreasing level. The RWST Level accuracy is established to allow an adequate supply of water to the Si pumps during the switchover to the recirculation phase of an accident. A high degree of accuracy Is required to maximize the time available to the operator to complete the switchover to the sump recirculation phase and ensure sufficient water Is available to maintain adequate net positive suction head (NPSH) to operating pumps.

APPLICABILITY The PAM Instrumentation LCO Is applicable in MODES 1,2, and 3.

These variables are related to the diagnosis and pre -planned actions required to mitigate DBAs. The applicable DBAs are assumed to occur in MODES 1,2, and 3. In MODES 4, 5, and 6, unit conditions are such that the likelihood of an event that would require PAM instrumentation is low; therefore, the PAM instrumentation is not required to be OPERABLE in these MODES.

kNote 2-has been added in the ACTIONS to clarify the application of Completion Time rules. The Conditions of this Specification may be entered Independently for each Function listed on Table 3.3.3-1. The Completion Time(s) of the Inoperable channel(s) of a Function will be tracked separately for each Function starting from the time the Condition was entered for that Function.

Pressurizer PORVs B 3.4.11 BASES APPLICABILITY that causes the PORV to open. Imbalances Inthe energy output of the (continued) core and heat removal by the secondary system can cause the RCS pressure to increase to the PORV opening setpoInt The most rapid increases will occur at the higher operating power and pressure conditions of MODES 1and 2. The PORVs are also required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1,2, and MODE 3 with Tav. 2 5000F for manual actuation to mitigate a SGTR event.

Pressure Increases are less prominent In MODE 3 because the core Input energy Is reduced, but the RCS pressure Is high. Therefore, the LCO is applicable in MODES 1,2, and MODE 3 with Tv, 2 5000F. The LCO is not applicable In MODE 3 below the LTOP enabling temperature and MODES 4, 5, and 6 with the reactor vessel head in place when both pressure and core energy are decreased and the pressure surges become much less significant. LCO 3.4.12 addresses the PORV requirements in these MODES.

ACTIONS Note I has been added to clarify that all pressurizer PORVs and block valves are treated as separate entities, each with separate Completion Times (i.e., the Completion Time is on a component basis).-The cxeeption for LCO 3.0.4, Note 2, permits entry Into MODES 1,2, and 3 to perform cycling of the PORVs or block valves to verify their OPER1D L status.^+w Testin rus norts perfre Ernler ln!

A.1 PORVs may be inoperable and capable of being manually cycled (e.g.

In this condition, either the PORVs must be restored or the flow path isolated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The associated block valve is required to be closed, but power must be maintained to the associated block valve, since removal of power would render the block valve Inoperable. This permits operation of the plant until the next refueling outage (MODE 6)so that maintenance can be performed on the PORVs to eliminate the problem condition.

Quick access to the PORV for pressure control can be made when power remains on the closed block valve. The Completion Time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> is based on plant operating experience that has shown that minor problems can be corrected or closure accomplished in this time period.

(continued)

Low temperature overpressure prevention Is most critical during shutdown when the RCS Is water solid, and a mass or heat Input transient can cause a very rapid Increase In RCS pressure when little or no time allows operator action to mitigate the event ACTIONS The ACTIONS are modified by a-Note 1 stating that while the LCO is not met, entry into MODE 6; with the reactor vessel head on, from MODE 6; with the reactor vessel head removed, Is not permitted. This Note prevents entry Into the MODES of applicability for LTOP without the requirements of LCO 3.4.12 being met. This Note Is necessary, because the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b should not be applied in this circumstance Is only applicabic for entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability in MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Note 2 prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable LTOP system. There Is an Increased risk associated with enterina MODE 4 from MODE 5 with LTOP inoperable and the Provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b.

which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicabilitv with the LCO not met after Performance of a risk assessment addressing Inoperable systems and components. should not be applied in this circumstance.

A.1 With two Si pumps capable of Injecting into the RCS, RCS overpressurization Is possible.

To immediately initiate action to restore restricted coolant input capability to the RCS reflects the urgency of removing the RCS from this condition.

RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation B 3A.15 BASES APPLICABILITY Because of elevated RCS temperature and pressure in MODES 1,2, 3, and 4, RCS leakage detection Instrumentation Is required to be OPERABLE.

In MODE 5 or 6, the temperature is to be 5 200'F and pressure Is maintained low or at atmospheric pressure. Since the temperatures and pressures are far lower than those for MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the likelihood of leakage and crack propagation are much smaller.

Therefore, the requirements of this LCO are not applicable in MODES 5 and 6.

ACTIONS A.1 and A.2 With the required containment sump level alarm inoperable, no other form of sampling can provide the equivalent information; however, the containment atmosphere radioactivity monitor will provide indications of changes in leakage. Together with the atmosphere monitor, the periodic surveillance for RCS water Inventory balance, SR 3.4.13.1, must be performed at an Increased frequency of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to provide information that is adequate to detect leakage.

A Note Is added allowing that SR 3.4.13.1 is not required to be performed until 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after establishing steady state operation (i.e., stable temperature, power level, pressurizer and VCT levels, makeup and letdown, and RCP seal Injection and return flows). The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> allowance provides sufficient time to collect and process all necessary data after stable plant conditions are established.

Restoration of the required sump level alarm to OPERABLE status within a Completion lime of 30 days is required to regain the function after the alarm's failure. This time Is acceptable, considering the Frequency and adequacy of the RCS water inventory balance required by Required Action Al.

Required Action AA is modified by a Not that lndicates that the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 arc not applicable. As a result, a MODE change is allowed when the containment sump Icvcl alarm is inoperable. This allowance Is provided bccause other instrumentation 2-. 6- - 14- nfc- I- .I-16dRd"U.

B.1.2. and B.2 With both gaseous and particulate containment atmosphere radioactivity monitoring Instrumentation channels Inoperable, alternative action is required. Either grab samples of the containment atmosphere must be taken and analyzed or water inventory balances, In accordance with SR 3.4.13.1, must be performed to provide alternate periodic Information.

The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Interval provides periodic information that Is adequate to detect leakage. A Note is added allowing that SR 3A.13.1 is not required to be performed until 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after establishing steady state operation (i.e., stable temperature, power level, pressurizer and VCT levels, makeup and letdown, and RCP seal injection and return flows). The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> allowance provides sufficient time to collect and process all necessary data after stable plant conditions are established. The 30 day Completion lime recognizes at least one other form of leakage detection is available.

Rcquired Action B.1 and Required Action B.2 arc modified by a Notc that indicates that the preoislons of LCO 3.0.4 arc not applicablc. As a result, a MODE change Is allowed when the gaseous and pariculatc eentainment atmospherc Fadioact'.iyty moenior channel islnopecrablea.

This allowance is proeided because other instrumcntation is available to monitor for RCS LEAK<AGE.

C.1 and C.2 If a Required Action of Condition A or B cannot be met, the plant must be brought to a MODE In which the requirement does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

The limit on DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 ensures the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> thyroid dose to an Individual at the site boundary during the Design Basis Accident (DBA) will be a small fraction of the allowed thyroid dose. The limit on gross specific activity ensures the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> whole body dose to an individual at the site boundary during the DBA will be a small fraction of the allowed whole body dose.

The SGTR accident analysis (Ref. 2) shows that the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> site boundary dose levels are within acceptable limits. Violation of the LCO may result in reactor coolant radioactivity levels that could, in the event of an SGTR, lead to site boundary doses that exceed the 10 CFR 100 dose guideline limits.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1 and 2, and In MODE 3 with RCS average temperature 2 500rF, operation within the LCO limits for DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 and gross specific activity are necessary to contain the potential consequences of an SGTR to within the acceptable site boundary dose values.

For operation In MODE 3 with RCS average temperature < 5000F, and in MODES 4 and 5, the release of radioactivity in the event of a SGTR Is unlikely since the saturation pressure of the reactor coolant Is below the lift pressure settings of the main steam safety valves.

ACTIONS A.1 and A.2 With the DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 greater than the LCO limit, samples at Intervals of 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> must be taken to demonstrate that the limits of Figure 3A.16-1 are not exceeded. The Completion Time of 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Is required to obtain and analyze a sample. Sampling is done to continue to provide a trend.

The DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 must be restored to within limits within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. The Completion Time of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> is required, if the limit violation resulted from normal Iodine spiking.

A Note to the Required Actions of Condition A excludes the MODE change restriction of LCO 3.0.4. This exception allows entry into tho applicablc MODE(S) while relying on the ACTIONS even though the ACTIONS may eventually requirc plant shutdown. A Note permits the Point Beach B 3.4.16-3 Unit 1 - Amendment No. 201 Unit 2 - Amendment No. 206

RCS Specific Activity B 3A.16 BASES ACTIONS (continued) use of the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.c. This allowance permits entry into the applicable MODE(S) while relyno on the ACTIONS. This exeeptien allowance Is acceptable due to the significant conservatism Incorporated Into the specific activity limit, the low probability of an event which Is limiting due to exceeding this limit, and the ability to restore transient specific activity excursions while the plant remains at, or proceeds to power operation.

B.1 and B.2 With the gross specific activity in excess of the allowed limit, the unit must be placed in a MODE in which the requirement does not apply.

The change within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> to MODE 3 and RCS average temperature

< 5000 F lowers the saturation pressure of the reactor coolant below the setpoints of the main steam safety valves and prevents venting the SG to the environment In an SGTR event. The allowed Completion rime of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> is reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach MODE 3 below 5000F from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

C.1 If a Required Action and the associated Completion Time of Condition A is not met or If the DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 Is in the unacceptable region of Figure 3.4.16-1, the reactor must be brought to MODE 3 with RCS average temperature < 5000F within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. The Completion Time of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> is reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach MODE 3 below 500OF from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.4.16.1 REQUIREMENTS SR 3.4.16.1 requires performing a gamma isotopic analysis as a measure of the gross specific activity of the reactor coolant at least once every 7 days. While basically a quantitative measure of radionuclides with half lives longer than 15 minutes, excluding iodines, this measurement is the sum of the degassed gamma activities and the gaseous gamma activities in the sample taken. This Surveillance provides an indication of any increase in gross specific activity.

Trending the results of this Surveillance allows proper remedial action to be taken before reaching the LCO limit under normal operating conditions. The Surveillance is applicable In MODES 1 and 2, and in Point Beach B 3.4.164 Unit I -Amendment No. 201 Unit 2 - Amendment No. 206

ECCS - Shutdown B 3.5.3 BASES LCO (continued) During an event requiring ECCS actuation, a flow path is required to provide an abundant supply of water from the RWST to the RCS via the ECCS pumps and their respective supply headers. In the long term, this flow path may be switched to take Its supply from the containment sump.

This LCO Is modified by a Note that allows an RHR train to be considered OPERABLE during alignment and operation for decay heat removal, Ifcapable of being manually realigned (remote or local) to the ECCS mode of operation and not otherwise Inoperable. This allows operation In the RHR mode during MODE 4.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the OPERABILITY requirements for ECCS are covered by LCO 3.5.2.

In MODE 4 with RCS temperature below 3500F, one OPERABLE ECCS train is acceptable without single failure consideration, on the basis of the stable reactivity of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements.

In MODES 5 and 6, plant conditions are such that the probability of an event requiring ECCS Injection is extremely low. Core cooling requirements In MODE 5 are addressed by LCO 3.4.7, "RCS Loops-MODE 5, Loops Filled," and LCO 3.4.8, "RCS Loops-MODE 5, Loops Not Filled." MODE 6 core cooling requirements are addressed by LCO 3.9.4, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR) and Coolant Circulation-High Water Level," and LCO 3.9.5, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR) and Coolant Circulation-Low Water Level."

ACTIONS A Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable ECCS high head subsystem when entering MODE 4. There is an increased risk associated with entering MODE 4 from MODE 5 with an Inoperable ECCS high head subsystem and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b. which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing Inoperable systems and components, should not be apglied in this circumstance.

A.1 With no ECCS RHR subsystem OPERABLE, the plant is not prepared to respond to a loss of coolant accident or to continue a cooldown using the RHR pumps and heat exchangers. The Completion Time of Point Beach B 3.5.3-2 Unit 1 - Amendment No. 201 Unit 2 - Amendment No. 206

ECCS - Shutdown B 3.5.3 BASES ACTIONS (continued) Immediately to Initiate actions that would restore at least one ECCS RHR subsystem to OPERABLE status ensures that prompt action is taken to restore the required cooling capacity. Normally, in MODE 4, reactor decay heat Is removed from the RCS by an RHR loop. If no RHR loop Is OPERABLE for this function, reactor decay heat must be removed by some alternate method, such as use of the steam generators. The alternate means of heat removal must continue until the Inoperable RHR loop components can be restored to operation so that decay heat removal Is continuous.

With both RHR pumps and heat exchangers inoperable, it would be unwise to require the plant to go to MODE 5, where the only available heat removal system is the RHR. Therefore, the appropriate action is to initiate measures to restore one ECCS RHR subsystem and to continue the actions until the subsystem Is restored to OPERABLE status.

B.1 With no Si subsystem OPERABLE, due to the Inoperability of the SI pump or flow path from the RWST or containment sump via the RHR subsystem, the plant Is not prepared to provide high pressure response to Design Basis Events requiring SI. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time to restore at least one SI subsystem to OPERABLE status ensures that prompt action is taken to provide the required cooling capacity or to Initiate actions to place the plant in MODE 5, where an ECCS train is not required.

C.1 When the Required Actions of Condition B cannot be completed within the required Completion Time, a controlled shutdown should be Initiated. Twenty-four hours is a reasonable time, based on operating experience, to reach MODE 5 In an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems or operators.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.5.3.1 REQUIREMENTS The applicable Surveillance descriptions from Bases 3.5.2 apply.

ADV Flowpaths B 3.7A BASES ACTIONS (continued) the low probability of an event occurring during this period that would require the ADV flowpath. Required Aetien A11 is modified by a Nete Indicating that LGO 3.0.4 dees not apply, since the steem dump function is normally in service during loever MODES of operateo and can provide an altematiyc to an Inoperable ADV floupath.

B.1 With two ADV flowpaths inoperable, action must be taken to restore one ADV flowpath to OPERABLE status. Since the block valve can be closed to isolate an ADV, some repairs may be possible with the unit at power. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time is reasonable to repair an inoperable ADV flowpath, based on the availability of the Steam Bypass System and MSSVs, and the low probability of an event occurring during this period that would require the ADV flowpath.

C.1 and C.2 If the ADV flowpaths cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the associated Completion Time, the unit must be placed in a MODE In which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be placed in at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and in MODE 4, without reliance upon steam generator for heat removal, within 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.4.1 REQUIREMENTS To perform a controlled cooldown of the RCS, the ADVs must be able to be opened locally and throttled through their full range. This SR ensures that the ADVs are capable of being locally operated by cycling the valve, with or without steam flow, at least once per fuel cycle. This test is In addition to the ASME quarterly inservice test required by 10 CFR 50.55a. The Frequency Is considered acceptable based on engineering Judgement and reliability.

SR 3.7.4.2 The function of the block valve is to isolate a failed open ADV. Cycling the block valve both closed and open, with or without steam flow, demonstrates its capability to perform this function. The Frequency is considered acceptable based on engineering judgement and reliability.

AFW System B 3.7.5 BASES ACTIONS A Note Prohibits the application of LCO 3.0A.b to an inoperable AFW pump system. There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with an AFW pump system inoperable and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b. which allow entry Into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicabilitv with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components. should not be aDplied in this circumstance.

A.1 If one of the two steam supplies to the turbine driven AFW pump system is inoperable, action must be taken to restore the inoperable steam supply to OPERABLE status within 7 days. The 7 day Completion lime is reasonable, based on the following reasons:

a. The redundant OPERABLE steam supply to the turbine driven AFW pump;
b. The availability of redundant OPERABLE motor driven AFW pumps; and
c. The low probability of an event occurring that requires the Inoperable steam supply to the turbine driven AFW pump.

The second Completion Time for Required Action A.1 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of Conditions to be Inoperable during any continuous failure to meet this LCO.

The 10 day Completion Time provides a limitation time allowed In this specified Condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO. This limit is considered reasonable for situations in which multiple Conditions are entered concurrently. The AND connector between 7 days and 10 days dictates that both Completion limes apply simultaneously, and the more restrictive must be met.

B.1 With the turbine driven AFW pump system (e.g., pump, flow path, or turbine) inoperable in MODE 1,2, or 3, action must be taken to restore the pump system to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time is reasonable, based on redundant capabilities afforded by the remaining OPERABLE motor driven AFW pump systems, time needed for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES APPLICABILITY The AC sources are required to be OPERABLE InMODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 to ensure that:

a. Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded as a result of AOOs or abnormal transients; and
b. Adequate core cooling is provided and containment OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained in the event of a postulated DBA.

ACTIONS The AC power requirements for MODES 5 and 6 are covered in LCO 3.8.2, 'AC Sources-Shutdown.

Bases Table B 3.8.1-1 provides a reference of Conditions that are applicable based on various inoperabilifies.

A Note Prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable standby emergency 2ower source. There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with an inoperable standby emergency Power source and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b. which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing Inoperable systems and components. should not be applied in this circumstance.

A.1 and A.2 To ensure a highly reliable power source of offsite power remains available when the associated units X03 transformer is inoperable, Required Action A.1 requires verification that offsite power Is supplying the associated unit's 4.16 kV safeguards buses from the opposite unit's X03 transformer within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and Required Action A.2 requires that the gas turbine generator be placed In operation within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

LCO Applicability B3.0 BASES LCO 3.0.3 the time allowed for reaching MODE 4 is the next 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br />, because (continued) the total time for reaching MODE 4 is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />. Therefore, if remedial measures are completed that would permit a return to MODE 1, a penalty is not incurred by having to reach a lower MODE of operation in less than the total time allowed.

In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, LCO 3.0.3 provides actions for Conditions not covered in other Specifications. The requirements of LCO 3.0.3 do not apply in MODES 5 and 6 because the unit is already in the most restrictive Condition required by LCO 3.0.3. The requirements of LCO 3.0.3 do not apply in other specified conditions of the Applicability (unless in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4) because the ACTIONS of individual Specifications sufficiently define the remedial measures to be taken.

Exceptions to LCO 3.0.3 are provided in instances where requiring a unit shutdown, in accordance with LCO 3.0.3, would not provide appropriate remedial measures for the associated condition of the unit. An example of this is in LCO 3.7.15, "Spent Fuel Storage Pool Water Level." LCO 3.7.15 has an Applicability of "During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the spent fuel storage pool." Therefore, this LCO can be applicable in any or all MODES.

If the LCO and the Required Actions of LCO 3.7.15 are not met while in MODE 1, 2, or 3, there is no safety benefit to be gained by placing the unit in a shutdown condition. The Required Action of LCO 3.7.15 of "Suspend movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the spent fuel storage poor' is the appropriate Required Action to complete in lieu of the actions of LCO 3.0.3. These exceptions are addressed in the individual Specifications.

LCO 3.0.4 LCO 3.0.4 establishes limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when an LCO is not met. It allows precludes-placing the unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (e.g., the Applicability desired to be entered) when Wiit conditions are such that the Prairie Island Unit 1 - Revision Amcndmcent No. 158 Units 1 and 2 B 3.0-5 Unit 2 - Revision Amcndment No. 149

b. Continued noncompliance with the LCO requirements, if the Applicability were entered, would result in the unit being required to exit the Applicability desired to be entered to comply with the Required Actions.

ECO 3.0.4.a allows entry Into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met when the associated Actions to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with Required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation. This is without regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change. Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with the provisions of the Required Actions.

LCO 3.0.4.b allows entry Into a MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing Inoperable systems mnd components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk Management actions, If appropriate.

The risk assessment may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended approaches, and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plant program, procedures, and criteria In place to Implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), which requires that risk Impacts of maintenance activities to be assessed and managed.

The risk assessments PVill be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk B3efore Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants."

Regulatory Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance In Section 11 of C 93-01, "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These d ocuments address general guidance for conduct of the risk sessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These include actions to plan and conduct other activities in a manner that controls overall risk, increased risk awareness by shift and management personnel, actions to reduce the duration of the condition, actions to minimize the magnitude of risk Increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the proposed MODE change Is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the probability of completing restoration such that the requirements of the LCO would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS Completion Times that would require exiting the Applicability.

LCO 3.0.4.b may be used with single, or multiple systems and Components unavailable. NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.

The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in dletermining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. The LCO 3.0A.b risk assessments do not have to be documented.

This allowance may apply to all the ACTIONS or to a specific Required Action of a Specification. The risk assessments performed to justify the use of LCO 3.0.b usually only consider systems and components. For this reason, LCO

This Specification ensures that system and component OPERABILITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the unit.

The provisions of this Specification should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

A provision in included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability when an LCO is not met due to Surveillance not being met in accordance with LCO 3.0.4.

However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet an SR will not result in SR 3.0.4 restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, Prairie Island Unit 1 - hevlsion Amcndment No. 158 Units 1 and 2 B 3.0-21 Unit 2 - Revision Amcndment No. 149

SR Applicability B3.0 device, or variable is inoperable or outside its specified limits, the associated SR(s) are not required to be performed, per SR 3.0.1, which states that surveillances do not have to be performed on BASES SR 3.0.4 inoperable equipment. When equipment is inoperable, SR 3.0.4 (continued) does not apply to the associated SR(s) since the requirement for the SR(s) to be performed is removed. Therefore, failing to perform the Surveillance(s) within the specified Frequency does not result in an SR 3.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability. However, since the LCO is not met in this instance, LCO 3.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes. SR 3.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions ofthe Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the:specified Frequency, provided the requirement t declare the LCO not met has been delayed In accordance with SR 3.0.3.

The provisions of SR 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. in this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.

The precise requirements for performance of SRs are specified such that exceptions to SR 3.0.4 are not necessary. The specific time frames and conditions necessary for meeting the SRs are specified in the Frequency, in the Surveillance, or both. This allows performance of Surveillances when the prerequisite condition(s) specified in a Surveillance procedure require entry into the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the associated LCO prior to the performance or completion of a Surveillance. A Surveillance that could not be performed until after entering the LCO~s Applicability, would have its Frequency specified such that it is not "due" until the specific conditions needed are met.

SR Applicability B 3.0 Alternately, the Surveillance may be stated in the form of a Note as not required (to be met or performed) until a particular event, condition, or time has been reached. Further discussion of the specific formats of SRs' annotation is found in Section 1.4, Frequency.

SR 3.0.4 is only applicable when entering MODE 4 from MODE 5, MODE 3 from MODE 4, MODE 2 from MODE 3, or MODE 1 from MODE 2. Furthermore, SR 3.0.4 is applicable when entering any other spceified condition in the Applicability only while operating BASES SR 3.0.4 in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4. The requirements of SR 3.0.4 de not apply (continued) in MODES 5 and 6, or in other specified conditions of the Appliability (unless in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4) because the ACTIONS of individual Specifications sufficiently define the remedial measure to be taken.

ITC B 3.1.3 BASES ACTIONS C.l (continued)

Exceeding the EOC ITC limit means that the safety analysis assumptions for the EOC accidents that use a bounding negative MTC value may be invalid. If it is determined during PHYSICS TESTS that the EOC ITC value will exceed the most negative ITC limit specified in the COLR, the safety analysis and core design must be re-evaluated prior to reaching the equivalent of an equilibrium RTP ARO boron concentration of 300 ppm to ensure that operation near the EOC remains acceptable. The 300 ppm limit is sufficient to prevent EOC operation at or below the accident analysis MTC assumptions.

Condition C has been modified by a Note that requires Required Action C. 1 to be completed whenever this Condition is entered.

This is necessary to ensure that the plant does not operate at conditions where the ITC would be below the most negative limit specified in the COLR Required Action C. 1 is modified by a Note which states that LCO 3.0.4'c is not-applicable. This Note is provided since the requirement to re-evaluate the core design and safety analysis prior to reaching an equivalent RTP ARO boron concentration of 300 ppm is adequate action without restricting entry into MODE 1.

D.1 If the re-evaluation of the safety analysis cannot support the predicted EOC ITC lower limit, or if the Required Actions of Condition C are not completed within the associated Completion Time the plant must be brought to a MODE or Condition in which the LCO requirements are not applicable. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to MODE 4 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The allowed Completion Time is reasonable, based on operating experience, for reaching the required MODE from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

ACTIONS ANote 1-has been added to clarify that each pressurizer PORV and each block valve are treated as separate entities, each with separate Completion Times (i.e., the Completion Time is on a component basis) for Conditions A, B and C. The exception for LCO 3.0.4, Nete 2, permits entry into MODES 1, 2, and 3 to perform cycling of the PORGs or block valves to verify their OPERABLE status, in the event that testing was not satisfactorily performed in lower MODES.

A.1 PORVs may be inoperable and capable of being manually cycled (e.g., excessive seat leakage). In this condition, either the PORVs must be restored or the flow path isolated within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The associated block valve is required to be closed, but power must be maintained to the associated block valve, since removal of power would render the block valve inoperable. This permits operation of the plant until the next refueling outage (MODE 6) so that maintenance can be performed on the PORVs to eliminate the problem condition.

Quick access to the PORV for pressure control can be made when power remains on the closed block valve.

LTOP - RCSCLT > SI Pump Disable Temperature B 3.4.12 BASES APPUCABRIIY Low temperature overpressure prevention is most critical during (continued) shutdown when the RCS is water solid, and a mass or heat input transient can cause a very rapid increase in RCS pressure when little or no time allows operator action to mitigate the event.

ACTIONS A Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.04.b when LTOP LCO requirements are not met. There is an Increased risk issociated with operating in MODE 4 at low temperatures with FTOP LCO requirements not met and the provisions of LCO 3,.0.4., which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing Inoperable systems hnd components, should not be applied In this circumstance.

A.1 With two SI pumps capable of injecting into the RCS, RCS overpressurization is possible.

(continued) LCO 3.4.10, "Pressurizer Safety Valves," requires the OPERABILITY of the pressurizer safety valves that provide overpressure protection during MODES 1,2, and 3, and MODE 4 above the OPPS enable temperature specified in the PTLR. LCO 3.4.12, "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) -

Reactor Coolant System Cold Leg Temperature (RCSCLT) < Safety Injection Pump (SI) Pump Disable Temperature," provides the requirements for MODE 4 below the OPPS enable temperature and above the SI Pump disable temperature.

Low temperature overpressure prevention is most critical during shutdown when the RCS is water solid, and a mass or heat input transient can cause a very rapid increase in RCS pressure when little or no time allows operator action to mitigate the event.

ACTIONS A Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b when LTOP FICO requirements are not met. There Is an increased risk assoclated with entering MODE 4 from MODE 5 with LTOP Requirements not met and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, wblch pllow entry Into a MODE or other specified condition In the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing Inoperable systems and components, should not be applied In this circumstance.

RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation B 3.4.16 BASES (continued)

APPUCABI[Y Because of elevated RCS temperature and pressure in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, RCS leakage detection instrumentation is required to be OPERABLE.

In MODE 5 or 6, the temperature is to be < 200'F and pressure is maintained low or at atmospheric pressure. Since the temperatures and pressures are far lower than those for MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the likelihood of leakage and crack propagation are much smaller.

Therefore, the requirements of this LCO are not applicable in MODES 5 and 6.

ACTIONS The Actions are modified by a Note that indicates that the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 are not applicable. As a result, a MODE change is

Permitting POWER OPERATION to continue for limited time periods with the primary coolant's specific activity greater than 1.0 pCi/gm DOSE EQUIVALENT I-13 1, but within the allowable limit shown on Figure 3.4.17-1, accommodates the possible iodine spiking phenomenon which may occur following changes in THERMAL POWER Operation with specific activity levels exceeding 1.0 pCi/gm DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 but within the limits shown on Figure 3.4.17-1 should be minimized since the activity levels allowed by the figure increase the dose at the site boundary following a postulated steam generator tube rupture.

Hydrogen Recombiners B 3.6.7 BASES (continued)

ACTIONS A.1 With one containment hydrogen recombiner inoperable, the inoperable recombiner must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. In this condition, the remaining OPERABLE hydrogen recombiner is adequate to perform the hydrogen control function.

However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE recombiner could result in reduced hydrogen control capability. The 30 day Completion Time is based on the availability of the other hydrogen recombiner, the small probability of a LOCA occurring (that would generate an amount of hydrogen that exceeds the flammability limit), and the amount of time available after a LOCA (should one occur) for operator action to prevent hydrogen accumulation from exceeding the flammability limit.

Required Action A. 1 has been modified by a Note that states the provisions of LCO 3.0.4 are not applicable. As a result, a MODE change is allowed when one recombiner is inoperable. This allowanee is based on the availability oft otherhrogen reeombincr, the small probability of a LOCA occurring (that would generate an amount ofhydrogen that exceeds the flammability limit), and the amount of time available after a LOCA (should one occur) for-opetor-action to prevent hydrogen acnumulation frOm exceding the flammability limit.

B.A If the inoperable hydrogen recombiner cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.

MFRVs and MFRV Bypass Valves B 3.7.3 BASES LCO FWLB inside containment. Since a feedwater isolation signal on (continued) high steam generator level is relied on to terminate an excess feedwater flow event, failure to meet the LCO may result in the introduction of water into the main steam lines.

APPUCABILITY The MFRVs and the MFRV bypass valves must be OPERABLE whenever there is significant mass and energy in the Reactor Coolant System and steam generators. In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the MFRVs and the MFRV bypass valves are required to be OPERABLE to limit the amount of available fluid that could be added to containment in the case of a secondary system pipe break inside containment. When the valves are closed, they are already performing their safety function.

In MODES 4, 5, and 6, steam generator energy is low. In addition, the MFRVs and the MFRV bypass valves are normally closed since MFW is not required.

ACTIONS The ACTIONS table is modified by i two Notes. Note indicating that l speeifies-separate Condition entry is allowed for each valve.

Note 2 specifics LCO 3.0.4 does not apply.

A.

APPUCABILny In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the AFW System is required to be OPERABLE in the event that it is called upon to provide heat removal. In addition, the AFW System is required to supply enough makeup water to replace the steam generator secondary inventory, lost as the unit cools to MODE 4 conditions.

In MODE 4 the AFW System may be used for heat removal via the steam generators.

In MODE 5 or 6, the steam generators are not normally used for heat removal, and the AFW System is not required to perform a safety function.

ACTIONS 4 Note prohibits the application of LCO 3q0.4.b to an inoperable FW train.- There Is an increased risk associated with entering 1 MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with

  1. n AFW train inoperable and the provisions of LCO 3.OA.b, which allow entry Into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicabffity with the LCO not met after performance of a disk assessment addressing Inoperable systems and components; should not be applied in this circumstance.

A.1 If one of the two steam supplies to the turbine driven AFW train is inoperable, or if a turbine driven pump is inoperable while in MODE 3 immediately following refueling, action must be taken to restore the inoperable equipment to an OPERABLE status within 7 days.

The 7 day Completion Time is reasonable, based on the following reasons:

a. For the inoperability of a steam supply to the turbine driven AFW pump, the 7 day Completion Time is reasonable since there is a redundant steam supply line for the turbine driven pump; Prairie Island Unit 1 - Revision 467 Units 1 and 2 B 3.7.5-6 Unit 2 - Revision 467

AC Sources-Operating B 3.8.1 BASES (continued)

ACTIONS Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.OA.b to an inoperable G.0 There is an Increased risk associated with entering a MiIODE or other specified condition In the Applicability with an 0operable DG and the provisions of LCO 3.O.4b, which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition In the Wpplicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk kssessment addressing loperable systems and components, ihould not be applied In this circumstance.

A.1 To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with one path inoperable, it is necessary to verify the OPERABILITY of the remaining path on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies "perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met. However, if the second path fails SR 3.8.1.1, there are no OPERABLE paths, and Condition C, for two paths inoperable, is entered.

A. 2 Operation may continue in Condition A for a period that should not exceed 7 days. With one path inoperable, the reliability of the offsite system is degraded, and the potential for a loss of offsite power is increased, with attendant potential for a challenge to the unit safety systems. In this Condition, however, the remaining OPERABLE path and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to the onsite Safeguards Distribution System.

The 7 day Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.
