BASES FOR LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPEP"7 TION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENIS 3.4.B Operation with Inoperable Components (Contimed) redandant component upstream of the explosive valves may be out of operation should be consistent with the very small probability of failure of both the control rod shatdown capability and the alternate component in the system, together with the fact that mclear system cooldown takes several hours while licpid control solution injection takes about two hcurs. This indicates the considerable time available for testing and restoring the Standby Licuid Control System to an operable corrlition after testing, while reactor operation contimes. Assurance that the system will still fulfill its function claring repairs is obtained by the wrveillance testing recuired by Specifications 4.4.A and 4.6.K.

Each positive displacement p2mp is sized to inject the solution into the reactor in 50 to 125 mimtes, independent of the amcunt of solution in the tank. The slower rate asmres that the boron gets into the reactor considerably cuicker than the cooldown rate. The faster injection rate limit asmres that there is mfficient mixing so that the boron does not recirculate thrcugh the core in uneven concentrations which could possibly cause the mclear power to rise and fall cyclically.

The maxinum solution volume in Figure 3.4-1 is determined by the tank size.

A mininum recpired p2mp flow rate of 41.2 gpm has been determined by the rate recpired using one pimp to inject the maxinum volume of control solution (5150 gallons) within the maxinum allowed time caf 125 mimtes. Using the mininum punp rate of 41.2 gpn and the fastest injection time of 50 mimtes, a mininum cuantity of 2060 gallons of solution having a 20.2 porcent sodium pentaborate concentration is recuired to meet the shutdown tecuirement. For the maxinum expected pump capacity of 43 gpm a mininum volume of 2150 gallons is that volume which co21d be injected in the mininum allowed time of 50 mimtes.

C. Sodium Fentaborate Solution Limiting Conditions for Operation:

The licpid centrol solution is acceptable if the combination of volume and concentratien of the colution is maintained in the region recuired as shown in Figure 3.4-1 atxl the solution temperature is maintained 10oF above the corresponding sattration temperature (Figure 3.4-2) to guard against boron precipitation.

Surveillance Recnirements:

Level indication and an alarm indicate whether the solution volume has changed, which might indicate a possible solution concentration change. The combination of volume and concentration recuired of the solution is mch that shculd evaporation occur from any point within the acceptable region, a low level alarm will anmnciate before the combination of volume and concentration recnirements are unacceptable. The test interval has been established in consideration of these factors. The solution temperature and volume are checked at a high enough f recpency to asmre a high reliability of acceptability of the solution should it ever be recnited. Temperature and licpid level alarms for the syctem are anmnciated in the control room.

BASES -FOR LIMITING (DNDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILIANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.5 CORE AND CONPADNENT COOLING SYSTENS A. Core Spray'(G) System

1. Normal System Availability Analyses presented in Section 6 of the FSAR and Appendix I of the HNP-2 PSAR demonstrated that the core spray system provides adecpate cooling to the core to dissipate the energy associated with the loss-of-coolant accident and to limit fuel clad temerature to below 2,300oF which asmres that core geometry remains intact and to limit any clad roetal-water reaction to less than one percent. Core spray distribution has been shown in tests of systems similar in design to HNP-1 to exceed the mininum recuirements. In addition, cooling effectiveness has been demonstrated at less than half the rated flow in sinulated fuel assemblies with heater rods to &plicate the decay heat characteristics of irradiated fuel.

The intent of the G system specifications is to prevent operation above atmospheric pressure without all associated ecpipment being operable.

However, & ring operation, certain cogonents may be out of service for the specified allowable repair times. The allowable repair times have been selected using engineering judgement based on experiences and mpported by availability analysis. Assurance of the availability of the remaining systems is increased by demonstrating operability immediately and by regliring selected testing & ring the outage period.

When the reactor vessel pressure is atmospheric, the limiting conditions for operation are less restrictive. At atmospheric presmre, the mininum reg 2irement is for one supply of makeup water to the core. Recuiring two operable ER pmps and one G pq provides reclindancy to ensure makeup water availability.

2. Operation with Inoperable Components Should one core spray loop become inoperable, the diesel generators associated with the remaining operable core spray loop are demonstrated to be operable to ensure their availability shculd the need for core cooling arise. The mrveillance testing recnited by Specifications 4.5.A, 4.5.H, and 4.6.K enm res the availability of the remaining core spray loop. '1he mrveillance testing recnired by Specifications 4.5.B, 4.5.C, 4.5.H, and 4.6.K ensures the availability of the E R system. These provide extensive margin over the operable ecnipment needed for adecpate core cooling. With

&e regard for this margin, the allowable repair time of 7 days was chosen.

B. Resicisal Heat Removal (ER) System (LPCI and Containment Cooling Mode)

1. Normal System Availability The ER system LPCI mode is designed to provide emergency cooling to the core by flooding in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident. This system is cogletely independent of the core spray system; however, it does function in combination with the core spray system to prevent excessive fuel clad te@erature. The LPCI mode of the E R system and the core spray system provide adecuate cooling for break areas of approximately 0.2 scuare feet up to and including the double-ended recirculation line break without assistance from the high-presmre emergency core cooling systems.

3.5-14 N ;

BASES FOR LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIRENENIS 3.5.B.l. Normal System Availability (Contimed)

Observation of the stated reglirements for the contaiment cooling mode asaares that the alppression pool and the drywell will be alfficiently cooled, following a loss-of-coolant accident, to prevent primary contain-ment overpresatrization. The containment cooling function of the ER system is permitted only after the core has been reflooded to the two-thirds core height level. This prevents inadvertently diverting water needed for core flooding to the less urgent task of containment cooling.

The two-thirds core height level interlock may be mamally bypassed by a.

keylock switch.

'Ihe intent of the ER system specifications is to prevent operation above atmospheric presaire without all associated eglipnent being operable.

However, daring operation, certain cmponents may be out of service for the specified allowable repair times. '1he allowable repair times have been selected using engineering judgement based on experiences and alpported by availability analysis. Assurance of the availability of the remaining systems is increased by demonstrating operability innediately and by renairing selected testing daring the outage period.

When the reactor vessel presaire is atmospheric, the limiting conditions for operation are less restrictive. At atmospheric pressure, the mininum req 11rement is for one alpply of makeup water to the core.

2. Operation with Inoperable Comonents With one LPCI pinp inoperable or one LPCI albsystem inoperable, adeq1 ate core flooding is asaired. The alrveillance testing reglired by Specifications 4.5.B, 4.5.C, 4.5.H, and 4.6.K enaires the availability of the redandant LPCI punps and LPCI albsystems. The alrveillance testing req 11 red by Specifications 4.5.A, 4.5.H, and 4.6.K enaires the availability of the Core Spray system. In addition, the associated diesel generators are demonstrated to be operable.

BASES FOR LIMITING CDNDITIONS POR OPERATION AND SURVEILIANCE REQUIREMENTS

3. 5.D. 2 Operation with Inoperable Congonents The HPCI system serves as a backup to the RCIC system as a source of feedwater makalp & ring primary system isolation conditions. The ADS serves as a backup to the HPCI system for reactor depresairization for posb11ated transients and accidents. The ADS is checked for operability if the HPCI system is determined to be inoperable. In addition, the airveillance testing required by Specifications 4.5.E, 4.5.H, and 4.6.K enaires the operability of the RCIC system. Considering the reclandant systems, an allowable repair tine of seven (7) days was selected.

E. Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) System

1. Normal System Availability The various conditions under which the RCIC system plays an essential role in providing makeup water to the reactor vessel have been identified by evaluating the various plant events over the full range of planned operations. The specifications enmre that the function for which the RCIC system was designed will be available when needed.

Beca1se the low-presaire cooling systems (LPCI and core spray) are capable of providing all the cooling reg.lired for any plant event when mclear system l

presaire is below 150 psig, the RCIC system is not reglired below this presaire. RCIC system design flow (400 gpm) is alfficient to maintain water level above the top of the active fuel for a couplete loss of feedwater flow at i the design power.

'I%o sources of water are available to the RCIC system. Suction is initially l taken from the condensate storage tank and is altamatically transferred to the l mppression pool upon low GT level or high alppression pool level.

l

2. Operation With Inoperable Congonents l

l l Consideration of the availability of the RCIC system reveals that the average l risk associated with failure of the RCIC system to cool the core when reglired is not increased if the RCIC system is inoperable for no longer than seven (7) days, provided that the HPCI system is operable during this period. 'Ihe alrveillance testing reglired by Specifications 4.5.D, 4.5.H, and 4.6.K enaires the operability of the HPCI system.

F. Automatic Depresairization System (ADS)

1. Normal System Availability

This specification enaires the operability of the ADS under all conditions for l which the depresairization of the mclear system is an essential response to Unit abnormalities.

The mclear system presaire relief system provides altomatic mclear system depresairization for small breaks in the mclear system so that the low-presaire coolant injection (LPCI) and the core spray system can operate to protect the fission proc 11ct barrier. Note that this Specification applies only to the altomatic feature of the presaire relief system.

Amendment No. 107, 3.5-17 Y

BASES FOR LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.5.F.1. Normal System Availability (contirued) l Specification 3.6 states the reglirements for the presaire relief function of the valves. It is possible for any mmber of the valves assigned to the ADS to be incapable of performing their ADS functions becalse of instrumentation failures yet be fully capable of performing their presaire relief function. l Because the automatic depresairization system does not provide makalp to the reactor primary vessel, no credit is taken for the steam cooling of the core caised by the system actuation to provide further conservatism to the Core Standby Cooling Systems.

2. Operation with Inoperable Couponents With one ADS valve known to be incapable of altomatic operation six valves remain operable to perform their ADS function. However, since the ECG Ioss of Coolant Accident analysis for small line breaks asalmed that all seven ADS valves were operable, reactor operation with one ADS valve inoperable is only allowed to contirue for seven (7) days provided that the actuation logic for the (remaining) six ADS valves is demonstrated to be operable. The surveillance testing reglired by Specifications 4.5.D, 4.5.H, and 4.6.K enaires the availability of the HPCI system.

3. Mininum Core and Containnent Cooling Systems Availability

'Ihe purpose of this Specification is to asaire that adenlate core cooling eglipnent is available at all times. If, for exanple, one core spray loop were out of service and the diesel which powered the opposite core spray were out of service, only 2 RIR pinps would be available. Specification 3.9 nust also be cona11ted to determine other reglirements for the diesel generators. In addition, refer to definition 1.0.00 for Qinulative Downtime realirements.

' Itis specification establishes conditions for the performance of major maintenance, alch as draining of the alppression poul. The availability of the shutdown cooling albsystem of the RIR system and the IIIR. service water system enaire adegiate alpplies of reector cooling and emergency makeup water when the reactor is in the Cold Stutdown condition. In addition, this specification provides that, should major maintenance be performed, no work will be performed which could lead to draining the water from the reactor vessel.

Amendment No. 12, 21, 27, 3.5-18 Y

BASES FOR LIMITING G)NDITIONS EUR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.5.J/4.5.J Plant Service Water System The Plant Service Water (PSW) system consists of two subsystems (divisions) of two pumps each and a separate standby service water pump system for diesel generator 1B. During normal full power operation the two subsystems function as a 3 out of 4 p2mp cross connected system supplying cooling water to the turbine and reactor b2ilding cooling systems. In the event of an accident signal, non-safety-related cooling loads are isolated and the PSW pumps in the two m bsystems supply cooling water to diesel generators lA and 1C, the reactor building cooling system and the control room air conditioners, while the standby service water pum is available to automatically supply cooling water to diesel generator 1B should it be needed. Additionally, diesel 1B has a mamal backup water supply available from the Unit 1 Division 1 or Division 2 PSW mbsystems so that during maintenance on the standby diesel service water pump, either division of the PSW system can mamally be aligned to supply cooling water to the 1B diesel. The two mbsystems and the standby service water pump system are split in the accident mode for greater reliability with one pug in each of the two subsystems aitomatically starting while a start signal from diesel generator 1B initiates standby service water pa@ operation. Only one of the Division 1 PSW p2mps and one of the Division 2 PSW pumps are required for cooling diesel generators lA and 1C, respectively, while the standby service water pump provides adegaate cooling water to diesel generator 1B. In the event that the standby service water pump is inoperable, the HNP-1 Division 1-Division 2 intertie supply piping can be aligned to cool the 1B diesel. In this condition, one PSN pump is capable of mpplying the cooling regairements for the reactor bailding cooling system, the control room air conditioners, and the lA,1B, and 1C diesel generators.

The PSW system can mpply all power generation systems at full load and the diesel generators with redandancy if one PSW p2mp and/or the standby service water pump are inoperable. Hence, a 60-day outage time is justified if the standby service water pump is inoperable since all four PSW pumps are available (divisonal intertie to 1B diesel reglired). In addition, a 30-day outage is justified if one PSW pump is inoperable, or if one PSW pump and the standby service water pump are inoperable (divisional intertie to 1B diesel reg 2 ired). Should two PSW pamps (or one subsystem) become inoperable, or should two PSW pugs (or one mbsystem) and the standby service water pump become inoperable (division intertie to IB diesel req 2 ired) plant operation will probably only contime at less than full power. However, safety-related loads are still adeglately powered for these conditions. Therefore, a 7 day outage time is justified for mch events.

The mrveillance testing regaired by Specification 4.6.K will provide adequate assurance that the PSW system will be operable when reglired.

K. Engineering Safety Features Eq2ipment Area Coolers The egaipment area cooler in each pump compartment is capable of providing adeg2 ate ventilation flow and cooling. Ergineering analyses indicate that the temperature rise in safeguard compartments without adeglate ventilation flow or cooling is such that contin 2ed operation of the safeguard eclipment or associated a2xiliary eglipment cannot be assured.

The mrveillance and testing of the egaipment area coolers in each of their various modes is accomplished during the testing of the egaipment served by these coolers.

The testing is adeg2 ate to assure the operability of the equipment area coolers.

HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 REQUEST TO AMEND INSERVICE INSPECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59, the Plant Review Board has reviewed the attached proposed amendment to the Pl ant Hatch Unit 1 Technical Specifications and has determined that implementation of the proposed amendment does not constitute an unreviewed safety question.

PROPOSED-CHANGES The proposed Technical Specification changes relative to inservice inspection / inservice testing provide for the following:

1. Deletion of individual surveillance specifications for pumps and valves by adding new wording to Technical Specification sections 3.6.k and 4.6.k which requires inservice testing of ASME Code C1 ass 1, 2, and 3 (equivalent) pumps and valves per the ASME Section XI Code in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a;

2. Deletion of Technical Specification Table 4.6-1 since Technical Specifications are being changed to require inservice inspection / inservice' testing per an external document (i .e., ASME Section XI Code);

3. -Deletion of requirement to demonstrate operabilit of safety-related components (e.g., ECCS, service water, etc.) ywhen a redundant or associated safety-related component is declared inoperable. This change is consistent with that of Standard Technical Specifications as discussed in the transmittal letter for this Enclosure. The only surveillance requirements which are applicable are those normally performed in accordance with ASME Section XI pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a;

4. Clarification of Technical Specifications 4.5.A.l.b and 4.5.B.l.c for Core Spray and RHR, respectively, to indicate that flow rate testing will be conducted at a system pressure corresponding to a reactor pressure as given in the aforementioned sections. This will eliminate any confusion that may arise over point of pressure measurement and is consistent with Hatch Unit 2 Technical Specifications wording;

5. Change of frequency of RHR drywell and torus spray headers and nozzles air / water test from once/5 years to once/10 years.

Proposed testing frequency is consistent with ASME Section XI Code requirements;

6. Deletion of the requirement in existing Technical Specification 4.5.C.l.b for a pump capacity test following pump maintenance.

Post-maintenance testing of the affected pump (s) is required by the ASME Section XI Code and existing plant surveillance procedures; thus, redundancy in Technical Specifications is not necessary; h

7. Revision of Technical Specification " Bases" sections to reflect inservice inspection / inservice testing per ASME Section XI Code requirements by Technical Specification section reference (i.e.,

4.6.K) and other Technical Specification references, as appropriate; and,

8. Editorial changes in " Table of Contents", etc., as appropriate, to support inservice inspection / inservice testing-related Technical Specification changes.

BASIS The probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety are not increased above those analyzed in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) due to these changes because the changes do not change equipment operation but only testing requirements. The possibility of an accident or malfuncton of a different type than analyzed in the FSAR does not result form these changes because the changes have no effect on equipment operation, thus, no new modes of failure are created. The margin of safety as defined in Technical Specifications is not reduced as a result of the changes because equipment operability is adequately assured by inservice inspection / inservice testing in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements pursuant to 10 CFR 50.55a.

HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 REQUEST TO AMEND INSERVICE INSPECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92, Georgia Power Company has evaluated the attached proposed amendment for Plant Hatch Unit 1 and has determined that its adoption would not involve a significant hazard. The basis for this determination is as follows:

PROPOSED CHANGES On page iv of the Table of Contents, change the page numbers for items 3.6.I/4.6.I and 3.6.J/4.6.J and omit the reference to " Primary Pressure Boundary" under items 3.6.K/4.6.K.

BASIS The changes are consistent with Item (i) of the " Examples of Amendments that are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" listed on page 14870 of the April 6, 1983 issue of the Federal Register. The page numbers for items 3.6.I/4.6.I and 3.6.J/4.6.J are revised due to text processing to accommodate new proposed wording for 3.6.K/4.6.K on page 3.6-10 of the Technical Specifications. The deletion of the reference to " Primary Pressure Boundary" is necessary since the proposed inservice inspection / inservice testing-related changes to the Technical Specifications covers a broader scope than the prinary pressure boundary.

As a result, the existing title for item 3.6.K/4.6.K 'is modified to reflect this.

PROPOSED CHANGE Delete all references to Table 4.6-1 in the List of Tables on page viii of the Technical Specifications.

BASIS This change is consistent with Item (1) of the " Examples of Amendments that are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" listed on page 14870 of the April 6, 1983 issue of the

_ Federal Register. The change is administrative in nature in that it removes reference to the old Inservice Inspection Program (Table 4.6-1) since the o'd program was superceded by a new inspection program as required by 10 CFR 51.55a. In addition, the subject table is deleted since it does not reflect carrent inservice inspection / inservice testing requirements.

NRC DOCKET 50-321 OPERATING LICENSE DPR-57 EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 REQUEST TO AMEND-INSERVICE INSPECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS PROPOSED CHANGES Revise Technical Specification 4.4.A to reflect the following for the Standby Liquid Control System:

1. Add new Technical Specification 4.4.A.1 for monthly verification of explosive charge in each loop.

2. Install 10 CFR 50.55a testing requirements (i.e., ASME Section XI Code) in new Technical Specification 4.4.A.2 for pump testing.

3. Re-number existing Technical Specification 4.4.A.2 to read 4.4.A.3 to acco wodate new Technical Specification 4.4.A.l.

BASIS The following changes as identified above are listed by Technical Specification section number (proposed revision). These changes are consister<t with the appropriate Item number of the " Examples of Amendments that are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" listed on page 14870 of the April 6, 1983 issue of the Federal Register for the reasons given below:

1. Proposed Technical Specification 4.4.A.1: The change is consistent with Item (ii) of the " Examples" because it adds the requirement of additional control of monthly continuity checks of the explosive charges to the existing surveillance.

2. Proposed Technical Specification 4.4.A.2: This change is consistent with Item (vi) of the " Examples" and installs the 10 CFR 50.55a testing requirements for the pumps and are of a lesser frequency than the existing Technical Specifications, 3 months vice 1 month. As a result, this change may appear to slightly reduce an existing safety margin. However this change still lies within the criteria of Standard Review Plan (SRP) section 9.3.5 for periodic testing of components.

3. Proposed Technical Specification 4.4.A.3: The re-numbering of existing Technical Specification 4.4.A.2 to 4.4.A.3 is consistent with Item (i) of the " Examples" since it is an administrative change necessary to accommodate new Technical Specification 4.4.A.l.

ENCLOSURE 4 (Continued)

NRC DOCKET 50-321 OPERATING LICENSE DPR-57 EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 REQUEST TO AMEND INSERVICE INSPECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS PROPOSED CHANGE Delete Technical Specification 4.4.8 concerning surveillance with Standby Liquid Control System inoperable components.

BASIS This change is consistent with Item (vi) of the " Examples of Amendments that are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" listed on page 14870 of the April 6, 1983 issue of the Federal Register. This change may possibly reduce a safety margin if the redundant portion of the Standby Liquid Control System fails in conjunction with a drastic reduction of control rod shutdown capability. Due to the low probability of such an occurrence, and the consistency of system testing and inspection required by 10 CFR 50.55a (as referenced by proposed wording in Technical Specification 4.6.K in the attached amendment), the results of this change still lie within criteria defined in SRP section 9.3.5. One portion of 4.4.8 concerned itself with explosive charge continuity testing.

Removal of that portion of Technical Specification 4.4.B is consistent with Item (i) since the continuity testing requirements is now covered by proposed Technical Specification 4.4.A.1.

PROPOSED CHANGES Change the " Bases" section of Technical Specification to reflect the following:

1. In Section 3.4.B, add references to inservice testing criteria; and,

2. In Section 3.4.C, correct typographical error relative to sodium pentaborate solution maintenance temperature.

BASIS The above changes are consistent with Item (1) of the " Examples of Amendments that are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" listed on page 14870 of the April 6, 1983 issue of the Federal Register. The change to section 3.4.B incorporates the stipulations of 10 CFR 50.55a, Inservice Testing criteria (as referenced by new wording proposed for Technical Specification 4.6.K). As a result, the change to 3.4.B is consistent with the proposed changes to Technical Specification 4.4.A. The change to section 3.4.C provides for a correction of a typographical error (10F to 100F). As a result, it is administrative in nature.

In addition, remove from section 4.5.A.2 the requirement to test the operable Core Spray loop immediately (with one loop inoperable) and daily _thereafter until both loops are operable.

BASIS The following changes as ider.tified above are listed by Technical Specification section number. These changes are consistent with the appropriate item number of the " Examples of Amendments that are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" listed on page 14870 of the April 6, 1983 issue of the Federal Register for the reasons given below:

1. Technical Specification 4.5.A.l.b: The change is administrative in nature and is consistent with Item (1) of the " Examples" because it provides clarification of the term " system head". The proposed wording is similar to that which exists in the Hatch Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

2. Technical Specification 4.5.A.l.c: The deletion of the monthly pump operability testing from Technical Specifications is deemed to be consistent with Item (vi) of the " Examples" since it may appear to reduce slightly an existing safety margin. Pump operability will be conducted under the auspices of the ASME Section XI Code as referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a and at the Code-specified frequency.

Technical Specification 4.6.K is being modified by the attached amendment to reference the conduct of inservice inspection / inservice testing per 10 CFR 50.55a. The change lies within the criteria of SRP 6.2.2 for periodic testing of components.

" Examples" since the testing will be conducted under the auspices of the ASME Section XI Code as referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a.

Technical Specification 4.6.K is being modified by the attached amendment to reference the conduct of inservice inspection / inservice testing per 10 CFR 50.55a. The test frequency remains unchanged due to Code requirements even though the test frequency is deleted in Technical Specifications.

4. Technical Specification 4.5. A.2: Removal of the requirements to demonstrate the operability of remaining Core Spray loop and the RHR LPCI mode when one Core Spray loop is inoperable and the removal of the requirement to test the operable Core Spray loop immediately (with one loop inoperable) and daily thereafter until both loops are operable are consistent with Item (vi) of the

" Examples." The reasons for this determination are as follows:

a. The removal of the requirement to demonstrate the operability of the remaining Core Spray loop and the RHR LPCI mode when one Core Spray loop is inoperable may reduce slightly an existing safety margin if a loss of RHR LPCI occurs in conjunction with the loss of one Core Spray loop. The chances of such an event are small however, and even with such an occurrence, the redundant Core Spray loop is still available. Based on these considerations and the testing requirements imposed as a result of 10 CFR 50.55a, the change still lies within the criteria of SRP sections 6.3 and 5.4.7.

b. The removal of the requirement to test the remaining operable Core Spray loop immediately and daily thereafter until both Core Spray loops are operable may reduce slightly an existing margin of safety by limiting the I assurance of operability. However, this change still i lies within the criteria for Core Spray systems as found '

in SRP Section 6.2.2 and its proposed revision. This is because the testing requirements of General Design Criteria (GDC)-40 (10 CFR 50 - Appendix A) are adherred

Similarly, deletion of the requirement to test the RCIC system daily until the HPCI system is returned to normal if HPCI system components are inoperable may reduce a possible safety margin. A reduction in safety margin would occur if RCIC became unavailable in conjunction with the loss of HPCI, as well as, the low pressure ECCS capability of the redundantly configured Core Spray and LPCI systems. The redundant capabilities of Core Spray and LPCI covers postulated losses of low pressure cooling. The specific testing and inspection requirements introduced through 10 CFR 50.55a (which references the ASME Section XI Code) will help assure system operability.

ENCLOSURE 4 (Continued)

NRC DOCKET 50-321 OPERATING LICENSE DPR-7 EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 REQUEST TO AMEND INSERVICE INSPECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS BASIS The proposed change has been determined not to involve a significant hazard because:

1. The proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident because:

a. The components under consideration are redundant and have separate sources of electrical power. Therefore, the operable diesels would be able to power at least one of the redundant systems in the event power is shifted to the diesel generators;

b. Actual availability of the components under consideration is verified through other Technical Specification surveillance requirements and/or through the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a;

c. Single component failure in redundant safety systems has been evaluated; and,

d. The proposed change will still include the requirement for testing all remaining operable diesels daily, until the inoperable unit is placed back in service. ,

2. The proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated because the change does not modify the original intent of the surveillance requirement. The intent is to ensure adequate and reliable core and containment cooling capacity in the event that one source of backup power (i.e., one diesel generator) is lost.

The change merely simplifies this intent by focusing attention on the problem source which is an inoperable diesel generator and taking 'the originally intended corrective measure of increased diesel testing frequency. Verification of operability of the systems omitted in this change is accomplished in other Technical Specification surveillance requirements and/or the ASME Section XI Code requirements which are referenced in 10 CFR 50.55a.

3. The proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety because of the adequate operability assurance provided for by other surveillance requirements and/or 10 CFR 50.55a for the omitted systems (i.e., RHR LPCI and Containment Cooling).

The new proposed wording is -

ENCLOSURE 4 (Continued)

NRC DOCKET 50-321 OPERATING LICENSE DPR-7 EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 REQUEST TO AMEND INSERVICE INSPECTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS BASIS (Continued) similar to that in Standard Technical Specifications and supercedes the existing outdated Technical Specification requirements. The existing Technical Specifications surveillance requirements for inservice inspection were for a program written to the 1971 Edition of the ASME Section XI Code with Addenda through Summer 1972. Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a, the licensee is required to periodically update the inspection program to a later edition of the Code and the requirements it sets forth.

The existing Technical Specifications do not reflect the current inspection requirements. Further, deletion of the existing Technical Specifications is justified since some of the requirements (e.g, reporting of inspection results after 5 years presumably from the commercial service date upon which the inservice inspection is based) have already been met and, thus, arc.

antiquated. The new proposed Technical Specifications are written such tnat they will not require revision each time the program is revised per 10 CFR 50.55a since no specific edition / addenda of the Code is referenced la the proposed Technical Specifications.

PROPOSED CHANGE Delete in its entirety Technical Specification Table 4.6-1, " Inservice Inspection Program".

BASIS .

The change is consistent with Item (1) of the " Examples of Amendments that are Considered Not Likely to Involve Significant Hazards Considerations" as listed on page 14870 of the April 6, 1983 issue of the Federal Register since deletion of Table 4.6-1 provides consistency with the proposed deletion of outdated Technical Specifications existing in Technical Specifications 3.6.K/4.6.K. New proposed wording for Technical Specifications 3.6.K/4.6.K are provided in the attached amendment. The subject table does not reflect the current inspection program as providea for by the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a which requires program update' periodically.

PROPOSED CHANGE Revise Technical Specifications " Bases" section 3.6.K to reflect the current inservice inspection / inservice testing requirements per 10 CFR 50.55a and to delete any outdated material currently existing.
