Once per operating cycle demonstration of HEPA filter preuure drop, operability of inlet heaters at rated power, air distribution to each HEPA filter, and automatic initiation of each standby gas treatment system circuit is necessary to assure system performance capability). Note: bases within parentheses will not be applicable until about December 31,1976, when equipment modifications are completed to allow increased testing. D. Prismary Containment Isolation Valves Those large pipes comprising a portion of the reactor coolant system, whose failure could result in uncovering the reactor core, are supplied with automatic isolation valves (except those lines needed for emergency core cooling system operation or containment cooling).The closure times specified herein are adequate to prevent loss of more coolant from the circumferential rupture of any of these lines outside the containment than from a steamline rupture. Therefore, this isolation valve closure time is sufficient to prevent uncovering the core. In order to assure that the doses that may result from a steamline break do not exceed the 10 CFR 100 guidelines, it is necessary that no fuel rod perforation resulting from the accident occur prior to closure of the main steamline isolation valves. Analyses indicate that fuel rod cladding perforations would be avoided for main steam valve closure times, including instrument delay, as long as 10.5 seconds. However, for added margin, the technical specifications require a valve close time of not greater than 5 seconds. For reactor coolant system temperatures less than 212 ' F, the containmer t could not become pressurized ' due to a loss-of-coolant accident. The 212' F limit is based on preventing pressurization of the reactor building and rupture of the blowout panels. These valves are highly reliable, have low service ( requirement, and most are normally closed. The initiating sensors and associated trip channels are also e checked to demonstrate the capability for automatic isolation (reference SAR Section 5.2.2 and Table 5.2.4 ). The test interval at once per operating cycle for automatic initiation results in a failure probability of 1.1 x 104that a line will not isolate. More frequent testing for valve operability results in a more reliable system. The containment is penetrated by a large number of small diameter instrument lines which contact the primary coolant system. A program for periodic testing and examination of the flow check valves in these lines is performed by blowing down the instrument line during a vessel hydro and observing the following two conditions, which will verify that the flow check valve is operable: Amendment 34 i 3.7/4.7-18 C5 _ _ k ATTACHMENT-4 Evaluation of Sianificant Hazards' Consideration Description of: Amendment R'e quest An amendment to the Technical Specifications-for Quad 9 Cities 1 Units.1 & 2 is requested raising the high drywell pressure tripLpoint from-2.0 psig to 2.5 psig and deletion of the bi-weekly MSIV partialistroke test. Basis for Proposed- No- Significant Hazards- Consideration Determination (The. Commission has provided guidance concerning-the. application of the. standards for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists by providing_certain examples (48FR-

14870).- The examples of actions involving no significant hazards-

.  ; consideration include: (vi) a. change which either result in.some increase-to the probability or consequences of a previously analyzed accident or may reduce in some way a safety margin,-but where the results of~the change are clearly within all acceptable criteria with respect.to the system or component'specified in the Standard Review Plan. Commonwealth Edison feels this example encompasses both of the, requested' changes. And increase of-the high drywell pressure to  : -215 psig and deletion of the'bi-weekly MSIV testing is a-relaxation of the current. Technical Sperification-limits-and therefore, may be considered as a reduction of'an existing safety margin. However, both proposed revisions'still~ comply with the staff's general guidance on the drywell pressure set point and MSIV testing. In the case of the proposed 2.5 psig setpoint, the increase is requested in order to reduce inadvertent _ECCS operation. The new- ~ operating margin between normal dry. wpm' pressure and the trip point Lis still-within the original plant'a, W. dent analysis and falls . - within the' Staff's guidance on setpoint margin for resolution of TMI Item II.E 4.2.5. .In the case of the deletion of the bi-weekly MSIV test, the provisions remaining in the Technical Specifications for testing the MSIV's meet the requirements of'the-BWR Standard Technical ~ . Specification for'that' valve. Therefore, although'some relaxation -in surveillance requirements will occur, the remaining' provisions will meet the staff's requirements for testing of the MSIV's. Therefore, since the app 1'ication for amendment involves a proposed change.that istsimilar to an example for which no

significant hazards co'nsideration exists, Commonwealth Edison has
made a proposed determination that the application involves no

'significant hazards consideration, 9451N' 1.
