Dockst No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Serial No. 1385 Attachment 2 Page 1 SAFETY EVALUATION INTRODUCTION AND SYSTEMS AFFECTED This safety evaluation addresses proposed revisions to the following sections of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1 Operating License, Appendix A, Technical Specifications:

INDEX Fire Suppression Systems and Fire Barriers 3/4.3.3.8 Fire Detection Instrumentation 3/4.3.3.9 Radioactive Liquid Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 3/4.7.9.1 Fire Suppression Water Systems 3/4.7.9.2 Spray and/or Sprinkler Systems 3/4.7.9.3 Fire Hose Stations 3/4.7.9.4 Hydrants and Hydrant Hose Houses 3/4.7.10 Fire Barriers B 3/4.3.3.8 Fire Detection Instrumentation B 3/4.7.9 Fire Suppression Systems B 3/4.7.10 Fire Barriers 6.4 Training 6.9.2 Special Reports FUNCTION OF SYSTEMS The function of the fire detection instrumentation is to provide adequate warning capability for prompt detection of fires in their early stages in order to reduce the potential for damage to redundant safe shutdown equip-ment required in the event of a fire. The Davis-Besse fire detection instrumentation addressed by this proposed revision to the Technical Specifications consists of smoke and heat detectors.

The function of the fire suppression systems is to confine and extinguish fires in those portions of the facility containing redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire. The fire suppression systems at Davis-Besse consist of water systems, sprays and/or sprinklers, fire hose stations and yard fire hydrants.

The function of fire barriers is to confine or adequately retard fires from spreading to adjacent fire areas of the facility or to portions of redun-dant safe shutdown systems required in the event of a fire within the fire area. The fire barriers at Davis-Besse consist of fire-rated walls, floors and ceilings, electrical raceway enclosures, structural steel fire-proofing, fire doors, fire dampers and penetrations seals.

Examples of the adminis-trative changes include reformatting the Action Statements and Surveil-lance Requirements, page number revisions, and clarification of specific equipment addressed by the proposed Technical Specifications. Examples of the more stringent requirements include the addition of Action State-ments and Surveillance Requirements. Examples of changes that reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program include revising the scope of the Technical Specifications to address safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire and defining inaccessible equipment.

Docket No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Serial No. 1385 Page 3 The need to limit fire damage to systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions in post-fire conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents since the loss of the design-basis-accident systems in post-fire conditions does not per se impact public safety.

Consequently, those systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions in post-fire conditions, rather than safety-related equipment, have been identified and evaluated for its availability in the event of a fire as documented in the Davis-Besse Appendix R Compliance Assessment Report (CAR). That equipment necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions in post-fire conditions is termed in the proposed Technical Specification revisions as safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire. The proposed Section 3/4 Technical Specifications refer to that fire protection equipment that protects redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire.

The fire protection equipment addressed by the proposed Technical Specification revision consists of fire barriers, detection instrumenta-tion and water suppression systems. The fire barriers for each fire area identified in the CAR are addressed by the proposed Technical Specific-ation revision since these barriers separate redundant safe shutdown equipment. The fire detection instruments and water suppression systems for only those fire areas containing redundant safe shutdown equipment are addressed by the proposed Technical Specification revision since these systems are intended to protect the redundant safe shutdown systems within the fire areas. Those CAR fire areas that do not contain redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire or contain only equipment which could prevent operation or cause spurious operation of safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire are not considered to require the protection of the fire protection equipment addressed by the proposed Technical Specification revisions. This is justified since a fire in those fire areas would not damage redundant equipment that is necessary to achieve safe shutdown in the event of a fire and since means have been identified in the CAR to preclude spurious ,

operation.

Toledo Edison intends to implement the guidance of NRC Generic Letter 86-10 which requests that the Fire Protection Program and major commit-ments made in Operating Licenses and Technical Specifications be deleted and referred to in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR). However, Toledo Edison anticipates that the NRC will desire the Technical Speci-fication commitments to be transferred to the USAR without change. There-fore, the proposed revisions to the Technical Specifications were developed in order to reflect the current plant design, testing and compensatory measures considered to be adequate and practical.

Dockst No. 50-346 License No NPF-3 Serial No. 1385 Attachment 2 Page 4 4

These proposed Technical Specification revisions were developed considering the current Davis-Besse plant design, recent audit findings, the B&W and Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications (STS) and Technical Specifications of recently licensed nuclear plants. The proposed revision to the Technical Specifications reflects the design of the plant to satisfy the National Fire Protection Association codes, to avoid a future Technical Specification revision upon completion of the FCR, and to provide an appropriate means for ensuring compensatory measures are maintained for those CAR fire areas not in accordance with the previous Toledo Edison commitments.

UNREVIEWED SAFETY QUESTIONS The proposed changes are administrative in nature, provide more stringent requirements or reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program based on actual or planned plant configuration and fire protec-tion analyses. Implementation of these proposed changes would not:

1. Increase the probability of occurrence or the consequence of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the Safety Analysis Report (10CFR50.59 (a) (2) (i)) .

The proposed administrative changes would not increase the occur-rence or consequence of an accident or malfunction of equipment previously evaluated because these changes would not affect the function, operation (including operational setpoints or parameters) or failure mode analysis of any system as described in the USAR.

The proposed changes that provide more stringent requirements would not increase the occurrence or consequence of an accident or malfunc-tion of equipment previously evaluated because these changes would increase the scope of the Technical Specifications, add restrictions, establish increased test frequencies and add Surveillance Requirements.

The proposed changes that reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program would not increase the occurrence or consequence of an accident or malfunction of equipment previously evaluated because the collective capability of the fire protection equipment and fire protection program has been increased based on plant modifications, administrative and procedure enhancements, and fire protection analysis in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendices A (General Design Criterion 3) and R.

2. Create the possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the Safety Analysis Report (10CFR50.59 (a) (2) (ii)) .

D:ck;t No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Serial No. 1385 Attachment 2 Page 5 The proposed administrative changes would not create the possi-bility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated because these changes would not affect the function, operation (including operational setpoints or parameters) or failure mode analysis of any system as described in the USAR.

The proposed changes that provide more stringent requirements would not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated because these changes would increase the scope of the Technical Specifications, add restrictions, establish increased test frequencies and add Surveil-

, lance Requirements.

The proposed changes that reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program would not create the possibility of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated because the collective capability of the fire protection equipment and fire protection program has been increased based on plant modifications, administrative and procedure enhancements, and fire protection analysis in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendices A (General Design Criterion 3) and R.

3. Reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification (10CFR50.59(a)(2)(iii)) .

The proposed administrative changes would not reduce the margin of safety because these changes would not affect the function, operation (including operational setpoints or parameters) or failure mode analysis of any system as described in the USAR.

The proposed changes that provide more stringent requirements would not reduce the margin of safety because these changes would increase the scope of the Technical Specifications, add restrictions, establish increased test frequencies and add Surveillance Require-ments.

The proposed changes that reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program would not reduce the margin of safety because the collective capability of the fire protection equipment and fire protection program has been increased based on plant modifications, administrative and procedure enhancements, and fire protection analysis in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendices A (General Design Criterion 3) and R.

CONCLUSION Based on the above evaluation, it is determined that the proposed Technical Specification revision does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

Docket No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Serial No. 1385 Attachment 3 Page 3 The need to limit fire damage to systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown cenditions in post-fire conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents since the loss of the design-basis-accident systems in post-fire conditions does not per se impact public safety.

Consequently, those systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions in post-fire conditions, rather than safety-related equipment, have been identified and evaluated for its availability in the event of a fire as documented in the Davis-Besse Appendix R Compliance

Assessment Report (CAR). That equipment necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions in post-fire conditions is termed in the proposed Technical Specification revisions as safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire. The proposed Section 3/4 Technical Specifications refer to that fire protection equipment that protects redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire.

The fire protection equipment addressed by the proposed Technical Specification revision consists of fire barriers, detection instrumenta-tion and water suppression systems. The fire barriers for each fire area identified in the CAR are addressed by the proposed Technical Specific-ation revision since these barriers separate redundant safe shutdown equipment. The fire detection instrumento and water suppression systems for only those fire areas containing redundant safe shutdown equipment are addressed by the proposed Technical Specification revision since these systems are intended to protect the redundant safe shutdown systems

! within the fire areas. Those CAR fire areas that do not contain redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire or 1

contain only equipment which could prevent operation or cause spurious operation of safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire are not considered to require the protection of the fire protection equipment addressed by the proposed Technical Specification revisions. This is justified siace a fire in those fire areas would not damage redundant equipment that is necessary to achieve safe shutdown in the event of a fire and since means have been identified in the CAR to preclude spurious operation.

Toledo Edison intends to implement the guidance of NRC Generic Letter 86-10 which requests that the Fire Protection Program and major commit-ments made in Operating Licenses and Technical Specifications be deleted and referred to in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR). However, Toledo Edison anticipates that the NRC will desire the Technical Speci-fication commitments to be transferred to the USAR without change. There-fore, the proposed revisions to the Technical Specifications were developed in order to reflect the current plant design, testing and compensatory measures considered to be adequate and practical.

Docket No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Serial No. 1385 Attachment 3 Page 4 These proposed Technical Specification revisions were developed considering the current Davis-Besse plant design, recent audit findings, the B&W and Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications (STS) and Technical Specifications of recently licensed nuclear plants. The proposed revision to the Technical Specifications reflects the design of the plant to satisfy the National Fire Protection Association codes, to avoid a future Technical Specification revision upon completion of the FCR, and: to provide an appropriate means for ensuring compensatory measures are maintained for those CAR fire areas not in accordance with the previous Toledo Edison commitments.

SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION The proposed changes are administrative in nature, provide more stringent requirements or reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program based on actual or planned plant configuration and fire protec-tion analyses. Implementation of these proposed changes would not:

1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated (10CFR50.92(c)(1)) .

The proposed administrative changes would not increase the probab-ility or consequence of an accident previously evaluated because these changes would not affect the function, operation (including operational setpoints or parameters) or failure mode analysis of any system as described in the USAR.

The proposed changes that provide more stringent requiremencs would not increase the probability or consequence of an accident previously evaluated because these changes would increase the scope of the Technical Specifications, add restrictions, establish increased test frequencies and add Surveillance Requirements.

The proposed changes that reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program would not increase the probability or consequence of an accident previously evaluated because the collective capability of the fire protection equipment and fire protection program has been increased based on plant modifications, administrative anc procedure enhancerents, and fire protection analysis in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendices A (General Design Criterion 3) and R.

2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated (10CFR50.92(c)(2)) .

D ck t No. 50-346 License No. NPF-3 Serial No. 1385 Attachment 3 Page 5 The proposed administrative changes would not create the possi-bility for an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated because these changes would not affect the function, operation (including operational setpoints or parameters) or failure mode analysis of any system as described in the USAR.

The proposed changes that provide more stringent requirements would not create the possibility of an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated because these changes would increase the scope of the Technical Specifications, add restrictions, establish increased test frequencies and add Surveillance Requirements.

The proposed changes that reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program would not create the possibility of an accident of a different type than any previously evaluated because the collec-tive capability of the fire protection equipment and fire protection program has been increased based on plant modifications, administrative and procedure enhancements, and fire protectfun analysis in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendice4 A (General Design Criterion

3) and R.
3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety (10CFR50.92 (c) (3)) .

The proposed administrative changes would not reduce the margin of safety because these changes would not affect the function, operation (including operational setpoints or parameters) or failure mode analysis of any system as described in the USAR.

The proposed changes that provide more stringent requirements would not reduce the margin of safety because these changes would increase the scope of the Technical Specifications, add restrictions, establish increased test frequencies and add Surveillance Require-ments.

The proposed changes that reflect the actual plant design and fire protection program would not reduce the margin of safety because the collective capability of the fire protection equipment and fire protection program has been increased based on plant modifications, administrative and procedure enhancements, and fire protection analysis in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendices A (General Design Criterion 3) and R.

CONCLUSION Based on the above evaluation, Toledo Edison has determined that the proposed Technical Specification revision does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES REMOTE SHUTDOWN INSTRUMENTATION HOT STANDBY of the facility from locations outside of the control room.

This capability is required in the event control room habitability is lost.

3/4.3.3.6 POST-ACCIDENT INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the post-accident instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables following an accident.

3/4.3.3.7 CHLORINE DETECTION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the chlorine detection systems ensures that an accidental chlorine release will be detected promptly and the control room will be isolated automatically. The control room ventilation system will be started manually in the recirculation mode to provide the required protection. The chlorine detection systems required by this specification are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.95, " Protection of Nuclear Power Plant Control Room Operations Against an Accidental Chlorine Release," February 1975.

3/4.3.3.8 FIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION OPERABILITY of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires. This capability is raquired in order to detect and locate fires in their early stages. Prompt detection of fires will reduce the potential for damage to redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire l and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.

In the event that a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, monitoring the affected areas is required to provide l detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is restored to OPERABILITY.

Certain fire detection instrumentation automatically actuates fire suppres-sion and water curtain deluge systems. These detectors are included in Specification 3/4.3.3.8 due to Surveillance Requirements common with other fire detection instrumentation. The ACTION statements applicable to the fire detection instrumentation are also applicable and adequate for those fire detection instruments that actuate fire suppression and water curtain deluge systems.

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.8 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(c) limits for plutonium. This limitation will ensure that leakage from by product, source, and special nuclear material souces will not exceed allowable intake values.

3/4.7.9 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in those portions of the facility containing redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire. The fire suppression systems consist of the water system, sprays and sprinkler systems, fire hose stations and yard fire hydrants. The collective capability of the fire suppression systems is adequate to minimize potential damage to redundant safe shutdown equipment required in the event of a fire and is a major element in the facility fire protection program.

In the event that portions of the fire suppression systems are inoperable, compensatory measures are required until the inoperable equipment is restored to service. A backup fire suppression water system specified by Specification 3.7.9.1 may consist of a local fire department pumper, backup pump or any other system (s) allowed by plant procedures or determined by the Fire Protection Engineer to be adequate. A backup fire suppression system specified by Specifications 3.7.9.2, 3.7.9.3 and 3.7.9.4 may consist of portable extinguishers, additional fire hoses or any other system (s) allowed by the plant procedures or determined by the Fire Protection Engineer to be adequate.

The water curtain deluge systems identified in Specification 3/4.7.9.2 provide a fire barrier and are not intended for fire suppression. The water curtain deluge systems are included in Specification 3/4.7.9.2 due to Surveillance Requirements common with the spray and sprinkler systems. The specified ACTION statements are applicable and adequate for the water curtain deluge systems.

3/4.7.10 FIRE BARRIERS The OPERABILITY of the fire barrier ensures that fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreading to adjacent fire areas or to portions of redundant safe shutdown systems required in the event of a fire within the fire area. This design feature minimizes the possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several fire areas of the facility prior to detection and extinguishment. The fire barriers are passive elements in the facility fire protection program.

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES i

Fire barriers, including cable penetration barriers, fire doors and dampers, are considered OPERABLE when the visually observed condition is the same as the as-designed condition. For those fire barriers that are not in the as-designed condition, an evaluation shall be performed to show that the fire rating of the fire barriers is not degraded and that 1

the barrier is OPERABLE.
