SUBJECT:

ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE FINAL REVIEW OF AP600 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (TSs)

Dear Mr. Liparulo:

In a letter dated March 13,1998, Westinghouse provided the staff with a markup of the AP600 technical specification (TS) which contained a compilation of over 100 commitments made in the resolution of staff ope 1 items. The staff has just completed its review of this markup and still has some concems. Most of the problems noted by the staff appear to be editorialin nature and should be quickly resolvable. However, some items may result in additional technical issues. 1 Because of the extremely tight schedule for issuance of an advanced final safety evaluation report for the AP600, the staff believes that a meeting during the week of April 13,1998, would i be the most expeditious way to resolve the remaining concerns. Enclosed as an Enclosure 1 to this letter are the problems noted by the staff during its review of the final TSs. Enclosure 2 i

provides a staff markup of the TS pages highlighting the spccific problem locations. The.

j discussion and resolution of these items should form the agenda for the upcoming meeting The j staff has also been reviewing the containment closure and auxiliary building ventilation TSs for fuel handling that were submitted by Westinghouse letter to the staff dated April 1,1998. These

! TSs will also be discussed during the meeting.

Please contact Bill Huffman on my staff to arrange the meeting. If you have any other questions regarding this matter, you may contact me at (301) 415-1118.

Sincerely, l .

AP600 Technical Specification Concems EDITORIAL. TYPOGRAPHICAL or CONSISTENCY PROBLEMS

1) Page 1.1 Need to close parentheses under definition of ESF Response Time.
2) Page 1.1-4:- La should be corrected to 0.1%.

l l 3) Page 1.3-1: *lf situations are discovered that..." (instead of which)

! 4) Pages 3.3-24 through 3.3-26

! The LCO 3.3.2 CONDITION descriptions for Conditions U, V, Y, Z, and AA contain the l clause "...of Table 3.3.2-1 specified condition ..." This is inconsistent with the other ,

I CONDITION descriptions and should be deleted.

5) Page 3.8-9 i

LCO 3.8.4 should read "... distribution subsystems required by LCO 3.8.6.. "

l

6) Page B 3.0-5 The Shutdown Matrix is not consistent with the actual tech specs in several areas:

- Where visible level in pressurizer is discussed, the table should be changed to pressurizer level 220%.

l - The matrix should refer to RCS pressure boundary Intact rather than closed.

- The matrix should refer to upperintemals in place rather than reactor intemals in place
7) Page B 3.0-10 l

LCO 3.0.8: The first sentence should be clarified to note that this LCO only applies to Mode 5 and 6. e g., " LCO 3.0.8 establishes the actions when in Af0 DES 5 or 6 that must be implemented..."

Page B 3.0-11 The first paragraph on this page states that "This specification delineates the requirements

for placing the unit in a safe MODE or other specified conditions..."

l LCO 3.0.8 does not require any MODE changes. The sentence should be changed to read something like "This specification delineates the requirements for placing ormaintaining the unit in a safe condition ..."(delete reference to MODE or other specified conditions).

8) Page 3.3-66 ADS Actuation should be included as initiating CMT actua. ion.

l 9) Pages 3.3-67,3.3-80, and 3.3-88 l

The nomenclature for ADS should be made consistent in the tech specs

" ADS Actuation," " ADS Stage 1," and " ADS Stages 1,2 and 3" are all used in the same l apparent context.

10) Page B 3.3-68.

The discussion in the first paragraph on process lines penetrating containment are isolated on ESF signals. What ESF signals is this referring to? -

11) Page B 3.3-70 _ .

The discussion in the first paragraph of Function 4.c.(1) is garbled and needs to be cor-rected. J

12) Page B 3.3-75 .

- There is no discussion in the Main Feedwater Control Valve Isolation BASES on the need for manual isolation capability in MODES 2 and 3. ]

13) Page B 3.3-81 The CMT level-1 actuation of ADS stages 1,2, and 3 (Function 9.a) is only needed in MODE 5 with pressurizer level above 20% per Table 3.3.2-1.
14) Pages B 3.3-82, B 3.3-83, B 3.3-84 The BASES descriptions should refer to the proper name of the actuating signal rather than a function number (e.g. " Manual Initiation Coincident with RCS Wide Range Pressure - Low or ADS stage 1,2 & 3 Actuation - rather than Function 9)

- See Function 10.a 10.b,11,11.s and 11.e for this type usage.

15) Page 3.3-82 Function 10.b uses the nomenclature " Delayed." This is confusing and should either be deleted or clarified. l i

~ 16) Pages B 3.3-90 and B.3.3-91 .

' The last sentences for functions 15.a and 15.c refer to administrative controls to block RCS boron addition in MODE 6. This in not correct,- TS LCO 3.9.2 covers this condition.

. The last sentence under the discussion of function 17.a is irrelevant to the TSs and should be deleted.

Page B 3.3-98 Similarly, the last sentence under function 20.b is irrelevant.

- 18) ' Page 3.3-99 The BASES description of Function 21.s is inconsistent with the function 18.d description i: and should be clarified.

L 18) Page B 3.3-95  ;

E Midway through the BASES discussion on function 18.b, the verbiage is garbled : "When the  !

l- steam line pressure-low and manually blocked..." This should be corrected.

20) Page B 3.3-102 l The definition of ESFAC Logic should be included in the BASES.

l

21) Page B 3.3-102 and Page B 3.3-103 -

The function 25 a and 26.a BASES discussions focus on the ADS valve operability. Why is ADS valve operability singled-out? Can it be deleted?

In addition, the discussion in paragraph 25.a should be clarified to state:". . three divisions will still be available to provide redundant actuation for all ESF Functions."

I

22) Page B 3.3-105 The discussioi. ..: lie third paragraph talks about entry in LCO 3.0.3. It may be appropriate to include a clarification that LCO 3.0.3 applies to MODES 1 through 4 and that for MODES 5 and 6, the licensee should enter LCO 3.0.8.
23) Page B 3.3-129 The discussion under item 8 refers to the extended range pressure transmitter covering three times the containment design basis pressure which is stated to be O to 180 psig.

Three times the AP600 containment design basis pressure would be 3x45 = 135 psig. This inconsistency should be corrected.

TECHNICAL PROBLEMS

24) Page 1.1 No bases in SSAR for calling PRHR HX tube leakage *ldentified." 1 Page 3.4 LCO 3.4.8 has no BASES in SSAR for allowing PRHR HX tube leakage  !
25) Pages 3.3-26 and 3.3-27 The Logical connectors for the Required Actions of Conditions Y and AA do not appear to be correct.
26) Pages 3.4-20 and 3.4-22 The LOGIC for Condition A of LCOs 3.4.12 and 3.4.13 appears to be incorrect. The following appears to be what Westinghouse intended:

A. One flow path inoperable ,

@ l One Stage 1 ADS flow path inoperable AND One Stage 2 ADS flow path inoperable M

One Stage 1 ADS flow path inoperable AND One Stage 3 ADS flow path inoperable l 27) Page 3.6-13 I

LCO 3.6.6 does not require entry into LCO 3.0.3 if both PCCS water cooling flow paths are inoperable. This is not consistent with the STS actions for totalloss of an ESF function.

28) Page 3.7-13

- LCO 3.7.6 should be applicable for both CORE ALTERATIONS and MOVEMENT OF ARRADIATED FUEL. This is needed to ensure that the MCR Habitability System is operable during movement of irradiated fuel in the spent fuel pool. )

Also see Page B 3.3-98 _. .

The BASES discussion of function 20 notes that MCR lsolation is necessary during movement of irradiated fuel.' This is inconsistent with the applicability for Tech Spec LCO 3.7.6 that covers CORE ALTERATIONS only. The applicability of TS 3.7.6 should be 'j corrected to cover movement of irradiated fuel.'

Similarly, on Pages 3.8-5,3.8-9, and 3.8-14 LCOs 3.8.2,3.8.4, and 3.8.6 should extend the APPLICABILITY to Core Alterations and Movement of Irradiated Fuel ,

'29) Page 3.3-68 The BASES discussion on containment isolation (Function 3) should clarify what contain-ment isolation valves receive an isolation signal from a manual initiation in MODES 5 and 6.

Are all containment isolation valves required to get a signal or are just the penetrations with direct connection between the containment and outside? For example,'does Westinghouse expect RNS to be isolated in MODE 5 from a manual containment isolation signal?

30) Pages B 3.3-80, B 3.3-82, B 3.3-83

' The BASES discussion for Function 9.a,10.a and 10.b state that the function must be operable in MODES 5 and 6 when the ADS valves are not open. The is not consistent with Table 3.3.2-1 which show that manual actuation of ADS stages 1,2 and 3 must be operable in all MODES with no conditions on the open or closed status'of the ADS valves, i

31) Page B 3.3-83 and B3.3 .

The discussion of the RCP trip under function 11 refers to CMT actuation. Per.

I Table 3.3.2-1, this function is from manual CMT action '- not all CMT actuation signals.

'32) .Page 3.3-85 . . l l-The second paragraph discussion under function 12 states the passive containment cooling ')

l ' actuation function "... initiates water flow by gravity by opening one of two fail open valves."

.This is incorrect. the signal should open both isolation valves.

i~ 33) Page B 3.3-93 The BASES discussion for function 16.d states that Containment Radioactivity High-2 ,

isolation of CVS makeup is not required in MODE 4 because there is no credible DBA that l could release radioactivity during this mode. This is inconsistent with the BASES discus-

'sions for functions 12.b,19.a, and 20 which state that MODE 4 is applicable since potential i

. for a DBA still exists.

34) Page B 3.3 _

Function 18.d description of the P-12 interlock states that this is only required to be operable in MODES 1,2, and 3. How does this ensure availability of the b!ock for midloop operations -

which would be done in MODES 4 or 57 Also, it appears that the P-12 block can be used to block automatic actuation of the Hot Leg _

level initiation of feed and blood frorn the IRWST if RNS is lost during mid-loop operations.

- This is contrary to the staff's current understanding of this AP600 shutdown feature.

35) Page B 3.3-99 The description of the IRWST Injection flow paths under function 22 also describes the IRWST recirculation flow paths. The discussion of the recirculation flow paths should be deleted from this function description since it is covered by the function 23 description.
37) Page B 3.3-101 The actuation of the IRWST containment sump recirculation valves occurs on a Low-3 IRWST tank level coincident with a safeguards actuation signal. It would appear that the automatic containment recirculation path opening will not take place with an IRWST low level unless the operators manually actuate a safety injection signal. Thus, if the IRWST is draining in MODE 5 due to a low hot leg level initiated feed and bleed, containment recirculation will not automatically take place. In addition, it may never occur in MODE 6 since the safeguards actuation circuitry is not required for MODE 6. This inconsistency needs to be corrected.

TABLE 3.3.2-1 PROBLEMS GLOBAL TABLE 3.3.2-1 PROBLEMS

, 38) Many of the shutdown MODE 5 and 6 instrumentation and control operability requirements in I

tech spec Table 3.3.2-1 are inconsistent with the associated equipment operability LCO '

requirements or with other related l&C functions in Table 3.3.2-1. In some early discussions with Westinghouse on this matter, Westinghouse indicated that having l&C operability requirements for mechanical systems which are not required is not a safety issue. The staff however, is still concemed that the l&C requirements in Table 3.3.2-1 may cause confusion for the plant operator or regulator as to what is the goveming operability requirements.

For example, manual Safeguards Actuation (Function 1.a) is required for MODES 1 through 5. CMT Actuation is required anytime Safeguards Actuation is required (Function 2.c). However, the CMTs are not required to be operable in MODE 5 if the pressure boundary is not intact (LCO 3.5.3). What would be the tech spec requirement for actuation of the CMT from a manual safeguards actuation signal during MODE 5 with the pressure boundary open.

- Other examples include:

I-

(a) PRHR Actuation on ADS stage 1,2 &3 actuation (Functrion 13.d). The ADS stage 1,2

&3 actuation signal must be operable in MODES 1 through 6 (See Function 9.a),

however, the PRHR only need be operable for MODES 1 through MODE 5 with pressure boundary intact (see LCO 3.5.5) t

6 (b) The BASES discussion for Containment isolation (Function 3) states that automatic containment isolation is only required for MODES 1 through 4. However, Table 3.3.2-1 states that Containment isolation is required from a maunual PCCS initiation signal (Function 3.b) which is required to be operable in MODES 5 and 6. In addition, Containment isolation must be operable from a Safeguards Actuation (Function 3.c) which is required in MODE 5. Therefore, Table 3.3.2-1 indirectly requires the l&C circuitry for automatic containment isolation to be operable in both MODES 5 and 6 which is contrary to the BASES.

(c) The manual main feedwater control valve isolation signal is only required to be operable in MODES 1 through 4 (see Funtion 6.a). However, the main feedwater control valve -

isolation is also required to be operable from a safeguards actuation signal (Function 6.c) which is required to be operable in MODE 5 (Function 1.e). The required status of the feedwater isolation valve signal for MODE 5 is therefore indeterminate.

(d) The manual main feedwater pump trip is required to be operable for Modes 1 through 4 (Function 7.a) while automatic initiation from the safeguards is also required I (Function 7.c). Safeguards actuation is required in MODE 5, therefore, it might be i concluded that main feedwater pump trip is also required in MODE 5.

39) Some Table 3.3.2-1 functions will provide both the applicable Modes and refer to another initiating Function (e.g.14a. or 16b. for Safeguards Actuation) while in other cases it refers to the initiating function without the applicable modes ( See function 11e.) It is not clear to the staff what is required when the applicable modes and conditions specified for a refer-enced function are different from the requirements for the function elsewhere in the table.

For example, the Normal Residual Heat Removal isolation on a Safeguards Actuation signal is required only for MODES 1,2 and 3 per Function 17.a. However, a safeguards actuation signal must be operable in MODES 4 and 5 as well. What is the reguirement for RNS isolation on a safeguards actuation signal in MODES 4 or 57  ;

Completion Times 1.3 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.3 Completion Times

JRPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.

BACKGROUND Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) specify minimum requirements for ensuring safe operation of the unit. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action (s) and Completion Time (s).

DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to.the time of i discovery of a situation (e.g., inoperable equipment or )

variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the unit is in a NODF. or specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until-the Condition no longer exists or the unit is not within the LCO Applicability.

MP If situations are discovered drtth require entry into more thanf' one Condition at a time within a single LCO (multiple Conditions), the Required Actions for each Condition must be-performed within the associated Completion Time. When in multiple Conditions, separate Completion Times are tracked for each Condition starting from the time of discovery of the  ;

situation that required entry into the Condition, i Once a Condition has been entered, subsequent trains, 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, unless specifically stated. The Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.

These guidelines provide preplanned actions for addressing parameters outside defined limits.

The reactor trip breaker position switches that provide input to the P 4 interlock only Function to energize or de-energize or open or close contacts. Therefore, this Function has no adjustable Trip Setpoint.

This Function must be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 when the reactor may be critical or approaching criticality. This Function does not have to be OPERABLE in MODE 4, 5, or 6 to trip the main turbine, because the main turbine is not in operation.

The P 4 Function does not have to be OPERABLE in MODE 4 or 5 to block boron dilution, because Function 15.a. Source Range Neutron Flux
