- a. As used in this Specification:
- 1. Imperfection means an exception to the dimensions, finish or contour of a tube or sleeve from that required by f abrication drawings or specifications.
Eddy-current testing indications below 20% of the , nominal wall thickness, if detectable, may be considered as imperfections.
- 2. Degradation means a service-induced cracking, wastage, wear or general corrosion occurring on either inside or outside of a tube or sleeve.
- 3. Degraded Tube means a tube, including the sleeve if the tube has been repaired, that contains imperfections greater than or equal to 20% of the nominal wall thickness caused by degradation.
- 4. % Degradation means the percentage of the tube or sleeve wall thickness affected or removed by ,
degradation.
- 5. Defect means an imperfection of such severity that it exceeds the plugging or repair limit. A tube or sleeve containing a defect is defective.
- 6. Plugging or Repair Limit means the imperfection depth at or beyond which the tube shall be repaired (i.e.,
sleeved) or removed from service by plugging and is greater than or equal to 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness. For a tube that has been sleeved with a mechanical joint sleeve, through wall penetration of greater than or equal to 31% of sleeve nominal wall thickness in the sleeve requires the tube to be removed from service by plugging. For a tube that has been sleeved with a welded joint sleeve, through wall penetration greater than or equal to 37% of sleeve nominal wall thickness in the sleeve between the weld joints requires the tube to be removed from service by plugging. This definition does not apply to tube support plate intersections for which the voltage-based plugging criteria are being applied. Refer to 4. 4. 6. 4.a.11 for the plugging limit applicable to these intersections.-At-tub: upport piste 4ctersection:, th: : pci: 14::it fe: th: Thirteenth Opet*t4*g-Cycle 1: b:: d cr :let*ining :te:: gent ster tub: ::evie :bility :: deser4 bed 5:1;u:

Changes marked with Strikethroughs and Bold, Italics REACTOR COOLANT SYSTD4 BASES 3/4.4.6 STEAM GENERATORS The Surveillance Requirements f or inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure that the structural integrity of this portion of the RCS will be naintained. The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision 1. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain surveillance of the conditions of the tubes in the event that there is evidence of mechanical danage or progressive degradation due to design, manufacturing errors, or inservice conditions that lead to corrosion. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation so that corrective measures can be taken. The plant is expected to be operated in a manner such that the secondary coolant ' will be maintained within those chemistry limits found to result in negligible ' corrosion of the steam generator tubes. If the secondary coolant chemistry is not maintained within these limits, localized corrosion may likely result in stress corrosion cracking. The extent of cracking during plant operation would be limited by the limitation of steam generator tube leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-secondary leakage = 140 gallons per day per steam generator) . Cracks having a primary-to-secondary leakage less than this limit during operation will have an adequate margin of safety to withstand the loads imposed during normal operation and by postulated accidents. Operational leakage of this magnitude can be readily detected by existing Farley Unit I radiation monitors. Leakage in excess of this limit will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be located and plugged or repaired.

M. Farley Units 1 and 2 SG Tube Plugging Criteria for ODSCC at Tube Support Plates," and documentation contained in i EPRI Report TR-100407, Revision 1, "PWR Steam Generator Tube Repair Limits - l Technical Support Document for outside Diameter Stress Corrosion Cracking at Tube l Support Plates." The application of this criteria is based on limiting primary-to- l secondary leakage during a steam line break to ensure the applicable Part 100 limits are not exceeded. Wastage-type defects are unlikely with proper chemistry treatment of the secondary coolant. However, even if a defect should develop in service, it will be found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations. Plugging or repair will be required for all tubes with imperfections exceeding 40% of the tube nominal wall thickness. If a sleeved tube is found to have through wall penetration of greater than or equal to 31% for the mechanical sleeve and 37% for the laser welded sleeve of sleeve nominal wall thickness in the sleeve, it must be plugged. The 31% and 37% limits are derived from R.G. 1.121 calculations with 20% added for conservatism. The portion of the tube and the sleeve for which indications of wall degradation must be evaluated can be summarized as follows: FARLEY-UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-3 AMENDMENT NO.#Ar73rB4 94r Mr106

U REAC70R COOLANT SYSTEM : BASES 3/4.4.7 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE i J/4.4.7.1 LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEMS The RCS leakage detection systems required by this specification are provided to monitor and detect leakage from the Reactor Coolant Pressure [ Boundary. These detection systems are consistent with the recommendations of l Regulatory Guide 1.45, " Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection - systems," May 1973. ! h 3/4.4.7.2 OPERATIONAL LEAKAGE ; Industry experience has shown that while a limited amount of leakage is expected from the RCS, the unidentified portion of this leakage can be reduced to ( a threshold value of less than 1 GPM. This threshold value is sufficiently low t to ensure early detection of additional leakage. l The 10 GPM IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limitation provides allowance for a ilmited [ amount of leakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere with the : detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the leakage detection systems. !
+
t The CONTROLLED LEAKAGE limitation restricts operation when the total flow supplied to the reactor coolant pump seals exceeds 31 GPM with the modulating ' valve in the supply line fully open at a nominal RCS pressure of 2235 psig. This limitation ensures that in the event of a LocA, the safety injection flow will not be less than assumed in the accident analyses. ! The surveillance requirements for RCS Pressure Isolation Valves provide ! added assurance of valve integrity, thereby reducing the probability of gross ! valve failure and consequent intersystem LOCA. Leakage from the RCS Pressure l Isolation valves is IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and will be considered a portion of the allowed limit. ;
- The total steam generator tube leakage limit of 420 gallons per day for all steam generators and 140 gallons per day for any ano steam generator l ensures that the dosage contribution from the tube leakage will be limited to a small fraction of Part 100 limits in the event of either a steam generator tube rupture or steam line break. A-4-GPM The limits are 4e consistent with the l assumptions used in the analysis of these accidents. The 140 gallons per day ;
leakage limit per steam generator ensures that steam generator tube integrity is ; , maintained in the event of a main steam line rupture or under LOCA conditions. PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE of any magnitude is unacceptable since it may be indicative of an impending gross failure of the pressure boundary. Therefore, the presence of any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE requires the unit to be promptly placed in COLD SHUTDOWN. i l FARLEY-UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-4 AMENDKENT NO.60,94
Changes marked with st-r-14cthroughs and Bold, It.clica RFACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES - l 3/4.4.8 CHEMISTRY j The limitations on Reactor Coolant System chemistry ensure that corrosion of the Reactor Coolant System is minimized and reduces the potential for Reactor Coolant System leakage or failure due to stress corrosion. Maintaining the chemistry within the steady State Limits provides adequate corrosion protection to ensure the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System over the life of the plant, The associated effects of exceeding the oxygen, chloride, and fluoride limits are time and temperature dependent. Corrosion studies show that operation may be continued with contaminant concentration levels in excess of the Steady State Limits, up to the Transient Limits, for the specified limited time intervals without having a significant ef fect on the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System. The time interval permitting continued operation within the rertrictions of the Transient Limits provides time for taking corrective actions to restore the contaminant concentrations to within the Steady State Limits. The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that concentrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action. 3/4.4.9 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the primary coolant ensure that the resulting 2 hour doses at the site boundary will not exceed an appropriately small fraction of Pr.rt 100 limits fel4 ewing-e-eteam gen :etee--tub: ruptere aceldent-in-conjunet4+n-with-en-eeeumed-eteady-etete-pr4ma:y t: :: cent,ry-eteam generator-leakage-eete-of-1. 0 CPM.

- a. As used in this Specification: I
- 1. Imperfection means an exception to the dimensions, finish or contour of a tube or sleeve f rom that required by fabrication drawings or specifications.
Eddy-current testing indications below 20% of the ( nominal wall thickness, if detectable, may be I considered as imperfections.
- 2. Degradation means a service-induced cracking, wastage, wear or general corrosion occurring on either inside or outside of a tube or sleeve.
- 3. Degraded Tube means a tube, including the sleeve if the tube has been repaired, that contains -
, imperfections greater than or equal to 20% of the ! nominal wall thickness caused by degradation.
- 4. % Degradation means the percentage of the tube or sleeve wall thickness affected or removed by degradation.
- 5. Defect means an imperfection of such severity that it .
exceeds the plugging or repair limit. A tube or sleeve containing a defect is defective. I
- 6. Plugging or Repair Limit means the imperfection depth !
at or beyond which the tube shall be repaired (i.e., sleeved) or removed from service by plugging and is greater than or equal to 40% of the nominal tube wall thickness. For a tube that has been sleeved with a mechanical joint sleeve, through wall penetration of greater than or equal to 31% of sleeve nominal wall j thickness in the sleeve requires the tube to be 1 removed from service by plugging. For a tube that has been sleeved with a welded joint sleeve, through wall ; penetration greater than or equal to 37% of sleeve ; nominal wall thickness in the sleeve between the weld ! joints requires the tube to be removed from service by plugging. This definition does not apply to tube support plate intersections for which the voltage-based plugging criteria are being applied. Refer to ; 4.4.6.4.a.11 for the plugging limit applicable to i these intersections.
- 7. Unserviceable describes the condition of a tube or sleeve if it leaks or contains a defect large enough to affect its structural integrity in the event of an Operating Basis Earthquake, a loss-of-coolant accident, or a steam line or feedwater line break as specified in 4.4.6.3.c, above.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM
. BASES ,
3/4.4.6 STEAM GENERATORS i The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure that the structural integrity of. this portion of the RCS will be maintained. The program for inservice-inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision 1. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain ! surveillance of the conditions of the tubes in the event that there is ! evidence of mechanical damage or progressive degradation'due to design, manuf acturing errors, or inservice conditions that lead to corrosion. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation so that corrective 4 measures can be taken. I The plant is expected to be operated in a manner such that the secondary coolant will be maintained within those chendstry lindts found to result in negligible corrosion of the steam generator tubes. If the secondary coolant chemistry is not maintained within these lindts, localized corrosion may , likely result in stress corrosion cracking. The extent of cracking during ; plant operation would be limited by the limitation of steam generator tube , I leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-secondary leakage = 140 gallons per day per steam generator) . 1 Cracks having a primary-to-secondary leakage less than this limit during operation will have an adequate margin of safety to withstand the loads ; imposed during normal operation and by postulated accidents. Operational leakage of this magnitude can be readily detected by existing rarley Unit I radiation monitors. Leakage in excess of this lindt will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be located and plugged or repaired. The repair limit for ODSCC at tube support plate intersections is based on the l analysis contained in WCAP-12871, Revision 2, "J. M. Farley Units 1 and 2 SG Tube Plugging Criteria for ODSCC at Tube Support Plates," and documentation contained in EPRI Report TR-100407, Revision 1, "PWR Steam Generator Tube Repair Limits - Technical Support Document for outside Diameter Stress Corrosion Cracking at Tube Support Plates." The application of this criteria ) is based on limiting primary-to-secondary leakage during a steam line break to ensure the applicable Part 100 limits are not exceeded. Wastage-type defects are unlikely with proper chendstry treatment of the secondary coolant. However, even if a defect should develop in service, it will be found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations. Plugging or repair will be required for all tubes with imperfections exceeding 40% of the tube nominal wall thickness. If a sleeved tube is found to have l through wall penetration of greater than or equal to 31% for the mechanical sleeve and 37% for the laser welded sleeve cf sleeve nominal wall thickness in the sleeve, it must be plugged. The 31% and 37% lindts are derived from R.G. 1.121 calculations with 20% added for conservatism. The portion of the tube and the sleeve for which indications of wall degradation must be evaluated can be summarized as follows: FARLEY-UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-3 AMENDMENT NO. 57,72,99 94,95,106
. ,~, .. . ] , REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3/4.4.7 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAqt 3/4.4.7.1 LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEMS The RCS leakage detection systems required _by this specification are ; . provided to monitor and detect leakage from the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary. These detection systems are consistent with the recomumendations of Regulatory Guide 1.45, " Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary leakage Detection Systems,* May 1973.
3/4.4.7.2 OPERATIONAL LEAKAGE Industry experience has shown that while a limited mount of leakage is expected from the RCS, the unidentified portion of this leakage can be reduced to a threshold value of less than 1 GPM. This threshold value is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of additional leakage. The 10 GPM IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limitation provides allowance for a limited amount of leakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere-with the detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the leakage detection systems. The CONTROLLED LEAKAGE limitation restricts operation when the total flow supplied to the reactor coolant pump seals exceeds 31 GPM with the modulating valve in the supply line fully open at a nominal RCS pressure of ; 2235 psig. This limitation ensures that in the event of a I.DCA, the safety injection flow will not be less than assumed in the accident analyses. I The surveillance requirements for RCS Pressure Isolation Valves provide added assurance of valve integrity, thereby reducing the probability of gross ; valve failure and consequent intersystem LOCA. Leakage from the RCS Pressure Isolation valves is IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and will be considered a portion of the allowed limit. The total steam generator tube leakage limit of 420 gallons per day 'for all steam generators and 140 gallons per day for any one steam generator l ensures that the dosage contribution from the tube leakage will be limited to j a small fraction of Part 100 limits in the event of either a steam generator I l tube rupture or steam line break. The limits are corsistent with the l assumptions used in the analysis of these accidents. The 140 gallons per day leakage limit per steam generator ensures that steam generator tube integrity is maintained in the event of a main steam line rupture or under LOCA conditions. PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE of any magnitude is unacceptable since it may be indicative of an impending gross failure of the pressure boundary. Therefore, the presence of any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE requires the unit to be promptly placed in COLD SHUTDOWN. FARLEY-UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-4 AMENDMENT NO.5Gr94 l i
a o e" REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM EASES 3/4.4.8 CHEMISTRY The limitations on Reactor Coolant System chemistry ensure that corrosion of ; the Reactor Coolant System is ndnindzed and reduces the potential for Reactor Coolant System leakage or failure due to stress corrosion. Maintaining the chemistry within the Steady State Limits provides adequate corrosion protection to ensure the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System over the life of the plant. The associated effects of exceeding the oxygen, chloride, and fluoride limits are time and temperature dependent. Corrosion studies show that operation may be continued with contaminant concentration levels in excess of the Steady State Limits, up to the Transient Limits, for ' the specified limited time intervals without having a significant effect on the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System. The time interval perndtting continued operation within the restrictions of the Transient Limits , provides time for taking corrective actions to restore the contaminant concentrations to within the Steady State Limits. The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that concentrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action. 3/4.4.9 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the primary coolant ensure that the resulting 2 hour doses at the site boundary will not exceed an appropriately small fraction of Part 100 limits in the event of primary-to- l secondary leakage as a result of a steamline break. The ACTION statement permitting POWER OPERATION to continue for limited time periods with the primary coolant's specific activity greater than 0.5 l microcuries/ gram DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131, but within the allowable limit shown on Figure 3.4-1, accommodates possible iodine spiking phenomenon which may occur following changes in THERMAL POWER. i I I l l 1 EARLEY-UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-5 AMENDMENT NO.63,106 l 4
