Docket No. 50-259 Tennessee Valley Authority BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN) UNIT 1 -

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE (TS) 433 -

24 MONTH FUEL CYCLE Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is submitting a request for an amendment to license DPR-33 for BFN Unit 1. The proposed amendment extends the frequency of "once-per-cycle" from 18 months to 24 months in the affected TS Surveillance Requirements.

The proposed changes will allow Unit 1 to adopt a 24-month refueling cycle, and will result in a maximum surveillance interval of 30 months when employing the 25%

grace period allowed by Surveillance Requirement 3.0.2.

These changes were evaluated in accordance with the guidance provided in NRC Generic Letter 91-04, "Changes in Technical Specification Surveillance Intervals to Accommodate a 24-Month Fuel Cycle", dated April 2, 1991.

TVA has previously requested and NRC approved (References 1 through 3) an extension in the frequency of "once-per-cycle" from 18 months to 24 months for similar Browns Ferry Units 2 and 3 equipment and for Unit 1 equipment that is required to support Units 2 and 3 operations and maintain Unit 1 in a shutdown condition. A separate TS change was also submitted and approved (DO Pr-ied o. recyad papf

The content of this submittal is based on TVA's previous applications for Units 2 and 3.

TVA has also previously requested approval to revise the Unit 1 TS (TS 430 -

Reference 6) in order to replace the power range portion of the existing Neutron Monitoring System with a General Electric digital Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control Power Range Power Range Neutron Monitor retrofit design.

The proposed change would also allow the implementation of Average Power Range Monitor and Rod Block Monitor Technical Specification improvements and operation in an expanded core power/flow domain, the Maximum Extended Load Line Limit region.

Similarly, TVA has recently requested approval to extend the channel calibration frequencies and allowable values for several systems' high area temperature isolation instruments (TS 447 -

Reference 7).

This proposed 24 month fuel cycle TS change assumes that TS 430 and TS 447 (References 6 and 7) have been approved.

The review and approval of this TS change should be staged and coordinated by the NRC in such a manner as not to invalidate this assumption.

In addition, this proposed Technical Specification revises the frequency for Surveillance Requirement 3.5.1.12, which is the automatic power supply transfer for the Low Pressure Coolant Injection System.

However, TVA has recently requested approval to delete this surveillance (TS 427 -

Reference 8).

On September 6, 1996, TVA submitted TS Change 362, which was TVA's conversion package from Custom Technical Specifications to Improved Technical Specifications (Reference 9).

As part of that application, TVA noted that several changes for Unit 1 required validation prior to Unit 1 recovery or necessary changes made.

NRC noted these required validations in their Safety Evaluation that accompanied License Amendment 234, dated July 14, 1998 (Reference 10).

Several of these validations have been.

incorporated into this amendment.

TVA intends to restart Unit 1 on a 24 month fuel cycle and this proposed amendment is necessary to support the restart of Unit 1.

Therefore, TVA requests that the amendment be approved by September 1, 2005 and that the implementation of the revised TS be within 60 days of NRC approval.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 August 16, 2004 TVA has determined that there are no significant hazards considerations associated with the proposed amendment and that the amendment qualifies for a categorical exclusion from environmental review pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

Additionally, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), TVA is sending a copy of this letter and attachments to the Alabama State Department of Public Health. provides TVA's evaluation of the proposed amendment.

The TS Bases changes in Enclosures 4 and 5 are provided for information and do not require NRC approval.

There are no regulatory commitments associated with this submittal.

1.0 DESCRIPTION

This letter requests an amendment to license DPR-33 for BFN Unit 1. The proposed amendment extends the frequency of "once-per-cycle" from 18 months to 24 months in several Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements.

The proposed changes will allow Unit 1 to adopt a 24-month refueling cycle, and will result in a maximum surveillance interval of 30 months when employing the 25% grace period allowed by Surveillance Requirement 3.0.2.

The proposed Surveillance Requirement changes were evaluated in accordance with the guidance provided in NRC Generic Letter 91-04, "Changes in Technical Specification Surveillance Intervals to Accommodate a 24-Month Fuel Cycle", dated April 2, 1991.

Justification for these changes has also been provided in accordance with the guidance contained in Generic Letter 91-04.

TVA previously requested (References 1 and 2) an extension in the frequency of "once-per-cycle" Surveillance Requirements from 18 months to 24 months for Browns Ferry Units 2 and 3 and for Unit 1 equipment that is required to support Units 2 and 3 operations and maintain Unit 1 in a shutdown condition.

NRC approval was provided in Reference 3. A separate Technical Specification change was also submitted and approved for the Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU) System main steam valve vault high temperature 24 month surveillance frequency (References 4 and 5).

The content of this submittal is based on TVA's previous applications for Units 2 and 3.

TVA has also previously requested approval to revise the Unit 1 Technical Specifications (TS 430 -

Reference 6) in order to replace the power range portion of the existing Neutron Monitoring System with a General Electric (GE) digital Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control Power Range Power Range Neutron Monitor retrofit design.

The proposed change would also allow the implementation of Average Power Range Monitor (APRM) and Rod Block Monitor Technical Specification improvements and operation in an expanded core power/flow domain, the Maximum Extended Load Line Limit region.

Similarly, TVA has recently requested approval to extend the channel calibration frequencies and allowable values for several systems' high area temperature isolation instruments (TS 447 -

Reference 7).

This proposed 24 month fuel cycle Technical Specification change assumes that TS 430 and TS 447 (References 6 and 7) have been approved. The review and approval of this Technical Specification change should be staged and coordinated by the NRC in such a manner as not to invalidate this assumption.

In addition, this proposed Technical Specification revises the frequency for Surveillance E1-1

Requirement 3.5.1.12, which is the automatic power supply transfer for the Low Pressure Coolant Injection System.

TVA has recently requested approval to delete this surveillance (TS 427 -

Reference 8).

On September 6, 1996, TVA submitted Technical Specifications Change 362, which was TVA's conversion package from Custom Technical Specifications to Improved Technical Specifications.

As part of that application, TVA noted that several changes for Unit 1 required validation prior to Unit 1 recovery or necessary changes made.

Several of these validations have been incorporated into this amendment.

-TVA intends to restart Unit 1 on a 24 month fuel cycle and this proposed amendment is necessary to support the restart of Unit 1.

Therefore, TVA requests that the amendment be approved by September 1, 2005 and that the implementation of the revised TS be within 60 days of NRC approval.

2.0 PROPOSED AMENDMENT TVA divided the affected Unit 1 Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements into two groups:

Group 1 -

Group 2 -

Surveillance Requirements for which the proposed change from once per 18 months to once per 24 months does not constitute a change to an instrument calibration interval (non-instrument calibration Surveillance Requirements).

For example, pump and valve functional tests, flow tests, logic system functional tests and response time tests are Group 1 type Surveillance Requirements.

All other Surveillance Requirements (i.e., those for which the proposed change from once per 18 months to once per 24 months constituted an extended instrument calibration interval).

The Group 1 Surveillance Requirements are listed in Table 1 (See Page El-67).

The Group 2 Surveillance Requirements are listed in Table 2 (See Page E1-71).

As previously stated, TVA has recently requested approval to extend the channel calibration frequencies for several systems' high area temperature isolation instruments to 24 months (TS 447-Reference 7).

TS 447 temporarily created Surveillance Requirement 3.3.6.1.7, which required the performance of channel calibrations every 24 months.

This proposed Technical Specification (TS 433) revises Surveillance Requirement El-2

3.3.6.1.5, which required the performance of channel calibrations, from once every 18 months to once every 24 months.

This proposed Technical Specification makes Surveillance Requirement 3.3.6.1.7 redundant, deletes this Surveillance Requirement, and replaces the references to 3.3.6.1.7 with references to 3.3.6.1.5.

Enclosures 2 and 3 provide mark-ups of the proposed change to the Technical Specifications and updated Technical Specification pages, respectively. contains copies of the appropriate marked-up Unit 1 TS Bases pages, showing the associated changes. contains copies of the updated Unit 1 TS Bases pages, which show the resulting changes.

The TS Bases changes in Enclosures 4 and 5 are provided for information and do not require NRC approval.

3.0 BACKGROUND

Improved reactor fuels allow licensees to consider an increase in the duration of the fuel cycle for their facilities. The staff has reviewed requests for individual plants to modify surveillance intervals to be compatible with a 24-month fuel cycle and issued Generic Letter 91-04, "Changes in Technical Specification Surveillance Intervals to Accommodate a 24-month Fuel Cycle", to provide generic guidance for preparing such license amendment requests.

TVA intends to implement a 24-month fuel cycle for BFN Unit 1 as part of the restart program. A number of Surveillance Requirements can only be performed during a plant shutdown, while for other surveillances it is preferable to have the plant in a shutdown condition to avoid the possibility of inducing plant transients.

The current Unit 1 Technical Specifications currently require these Surveillance Requirements to be performed on an 18-month frequency, consistent with the 18-month fuel cycles.

Therefore, to synchronize these requirements with a 24-month fuel cycle, it is necessary to extend the existing 18-month surveillance frequencies to 24 months.

This change will allow TVA to take advantage of improved fuel designs which support a 24-month refueling interval.

E1-3

TVA has previously requested and NRC approved (References 1 through 3) an extension in the frequency of "once-per-cycle" from 18 months to 24 months for similar Browns Ferry Units 2 and 3 equipment and for Unit 1 equipment that is required to support Units 2 and 3 operations and maintain Unit 1 in a shutdown condition.

A separate Technical Specification change was also submitted and approved for the Reactor Water Cleanup System Main Steam Valve Vault High Temperature 24 month surveillance frequency (References 4 and 5).

TVA has compared the proposed change, reason for change, background information, and technical analysis submitted in support of this proposed amendment with the information provided by TVA and approved by NRC in References 1 through 5 for the previous Units 2 and 3, 24-month fuel cycle Technical Specification changes.

The comparison for each of these areas is provided below:

The proposed change to the Unit 1 Technical Specifications are primarily the same changes that were proposed and approved for Units 2 and 3. As discussed below, some changes are required due to subsequent Technical Specification changes that were submitted since the Units 2 and 3 changes were approved.

o In 1997, when the Units 2 and 3 Technical Specification changes were submitted (References 1 and 2), the Units 2 and 3 Technical Specifications reflected surveillance requirements for the upgraded digital Power Range Neutron Monitoring equipments 2.

This equipment has not been approved for installation on Unit 1. However, TVA has requested approval (TS 430) to revise the Unit 1 Technical Specifications '3) in order to install the upgraded digital Power Range Neutron Monitoring equipment. This proposed 24 month fuel cycle Technical Specification change assumes that TS 430 has been 1 NRC letter, J.F. Williams to O.D. Kingsley, dated September 11, 1997, "Issuance of Amendment -

approved.

o In 1997, when the Units 2 and 3 Technical Specification changes were submitted (References 1 and 2), the Units 2 and 3 Technical Specifications contained a Surveillance Requirement (Table 3.3.1.1-1, Function 13) for Low Scram Pilot Air Header Pressure Switches.

The Units 2 and 3 Technical Specifications were subsequently revised as part of a Technical Specification amendment(4) to reflect the removal of these switches.

The Low Scram Pilot Air Header Pressure Switches were not, and will not be, permanently installed on Unit 1. Therefore, this Unit 1 Technical Specification change is different from the Units 2 and 3 precedents by omission of the Low Scram Pilot Air Header Pressure Switches.

o TVA has recently requested approval to extend the channel calibration frequencies for several systems' high area temperature isolation instruments to 24 months (TS 447 -

Reference 7).

TS 447 temporarily created Surveillance Requirement 3.3.6.1.7.

This proposed Technical Specification makes Surveillance Requirement 3.3.6.1.7 redundant, deletes Surveillance Requirement 3.3.6.1.7, and replaces the references to 3.3.6.1.7'with references to 3.3.6.1.5.

The underlying reason for this Unit 1 change is the same as that which was previously submitted for the Units 2 and 3 Technical Specification change (i.e., to allow Unit 1 to adopt a 24-month refueling cycle).

In addition, TVA needs to maximize consistency between the Unit 1 and Units 2 and 3 Technical Specifications, operations and maintenance procedures and practices prior to restarting Unit 1.

  • The background information provided in support of this Unit 1 change incorporates the same elements previously submitted in support of the Units 2 and 3 change.

  • The technical analysis submitted for this Unit 1 Technical Specification change incorporates the same elements previously submitted in support of the previous Technical Specification changes for Units 2 and 3. Differences are noted below.

o Since Units 2 and 3 were operating in 1998 when the previous Technical Specification change was submitted and Unit 1 has been in an extended outage since March 1985, additional reliance on generic and Units 2 and 3 operating experience was utilized in preparing supporting information for Unit 1 instruments.

o This Unit 1 Technical Specification change is being submitted with the current Unit 1 licensed thermal power limit being 3,293 megawatts. Unit 1 is currently in an extended outage.

When Unit 1 restarts, TVA intends to operate the plant at extended power uprate conditions (i.e., 3,952 megawatts thermal power).

Since Unit 1 will not operate at 3,293 megawatts, Unit 1 specific setpoint calculations were performed assuming operating conditions that reflect a power level of 3,952 megawatts.

These calculations are conservative with respect to the current licensed thermal power limit.

o For the Units 2 and 3 submittal, NPRDS failure data searches, for system comparison with the rest of the industry, were conducted for the 12 year period from 1985 through 1996.

NPRDS ceased operations at the end of 1996.

Since new data was no longer added and the failure module in NPRDS is no longer functional, NPRDS data was not reviewed for applicability to Unit 1.

o On September 6, 1996, TVA submitted 5 1 Units 1, 2, and 3 Technical Specifications Change 362 -

Improved Technical Specifications, which was TVA's conversion package from Custom Technical Specifications to Improved Technical Specifications.

As part of that application, TVA noted several changes for Unit 1 which required validation prior to Unit 1 recovery or necessary changes made.

Several of these validations have been incorporated into this amendment as noted in Section 4.2.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

4.1 SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCIES OF 24 MONTHS Based on the following evaluation, TVA has concluded that the proposed Technical Specification changes in instrumentation surveillance frequency to a 24-month interval are consistent with the guidance of Generic Letter 91-04.

TVA's monitoring program is adequate for assessing the effects of the extended instrument calibration surveillance intervals on future instrument drift.

A.

Non-Instrument Calibration Surveillance Requirements The non-instrument drift related Surveillance Requirements requiring evaluation for extended surveillance intervals are listed in Table 1 (Page El-67).

Evaluations were performed in accordance with the guidance set forth in Generic Letter 91-04, which requires licensees to:

(1) Evaluate the effect on safety of the change in surveillance intervals to accommodate a 24-month fuel cycle.

This evaluation should support a conclusion that the effect on safety is small; (2) Confirm that historical maintenance and surveillance' data do not invalidate this conclusion; and (3) Confirm that the performance of surveillances at the bounding surveillance interval limit provided to accommodate a 24-month fuel cycle would not invalidate any assumption in the plant licensing basis.

In consideration of these confirmations, NRC stated that the licensees need not quantify the effect of the change in surveillance intervals on the availability of individual systems or components.

As described in detail below, each item in Table 1 was qualitatively evaluated (including consideration of safety function, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) event type, and purpose of the surveillance test) to determine the potential effect of the extended test interval on plant safety.

These evaluations were based on the plant design and on the information contained in the BFN Technical Specifications and Bases.

The conclusion for each item is El -7

that the effect on plant safety is small.

These conclusions are supported by the results of an extensive survey of plant-specific and industry historical maintenance and surveillance data.

In addition to these evaluations, the UFSAR, Technical Specifications, and other applicable documentation were reviewed to determine if the proposed surveillance interval extensions would invalidate any licensing basis assumptions.

This review did not reveal any conflicts between surveillance extension to 30 months (24 months + 25%) and the assumptions in the plant licensing basis.

Additional details of the qualitative assessments and historical data review are provided in the following summaries for the three areas identified in Generic Letter 91-04.

Individual assessments for each of the Surveillance Requirements in the table are provided in. When considered appropriate, due to the common requirements relative to a specific system, a single assessment addresses more than one Surveillance Requirement.

1.

Summary of Qualitative Assessments for Individual Surveillance Requirements Each of the Surveillance Requirements was categorized into one of eight types (A through H), as indicated in the table.

The effect on plant safety from extending the 18-month surveillance interval to a 24-month interval for each of the eight surveillance categories is as follows:

A)

Functional Tests of systems/components not part of the primary success path for reactor shutdown Surveillance tests in this category are associated with equipment and component functions which do not contribute to the primary success path for reactor shutdown. Therefore, extending the surveillance interval from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

This category includes Scram Discharge Volume (SDV)

Vent and Drain Valves, Reactor Mode Switch (Shutdown Position), Backup Control System, and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) System.

B)

Response Time Tests This category includes the Scram Discharge Volume Vent and Drain Valves, and the Main Turbine Bypass System.

For both these systems, other more El -8

frequent testing of the equipment would indicate any serious degradation of response time.

Therefore, increasing the surveillance interval for the response time test from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

C)

Logic System Functional Tests Systems/components included in this category are Reactor Protection System (RPS), Feedwater/Main Turbine High Water Level, End-of-Cycle Recirculation Pump Trip (RPT), Anticipated Transient Without Scram Recirculation Pump Trip (ATWS-RPT), Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS),

RCIC, Primary and Secondary Containment Isolation, and Control Room Emergency Ventilation (CREV).

This type of surveillance test is conducted to demonstrate the satisfactory functioning of the particular instrumentation logic as a complete system involving all the redundant features.

Such tests are intended to reveal the possibility of failure of individual circuit components which might not be discovered during the more frequent channel functional testing.

In all cases, the level of redundancy is such that multiple failures would be needed to seriously degrade the system safety function.

The more frequent channel functional testing throughout the fuel cycle ensures the safety function is preserved.

Therefore, changing the overall logic system functional test frequency from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

D)

Simulated Automatic Actuation Tests These tests involve the following systems and components:

RPS Power Monitoring, ECCS, Automatic Depressurization System (ADS), 480 Volt Motor Operated Valve (MOV) Boards, RCIC, Primary Containment Isolation, Excess Flow Check Valves, and Main Turbine Bypass.

This type of test is essentially a supplementary test to the individual channel functional tests of the instrumentation and mechanical equipment of each system which are performed more frequently during the fuel cycle.

While the simulated automatic actuation test provides for a complete test from sensor to actuated device, it is, nevertheless, a redundant test in terms of validating system performance.

As a result of functional redundancy within each El -9

system, together with the additional channel functional test throughout the fuel cycle, extending the surveillance period for the simulated automatic actuation tests from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

E)

Functional tests of systems/components supporting low frequency accident initiators Systems/components involved in this category are the Standby Liquid Control (SLC), High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI), Traversing Incore Probe, and Suppression Chamber-to-Drywell Vacuum Breakers.

The surveillance tests described by this category are essentially related to equipment which is required to respond to postulated accidents and events of relatively low frequency.

Due to the redundancy of function designed into this equipment, plus other supporting surveillance, extending these tests from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

F)

Functional tests of systems/components where redundancy exists and low failure rate experience This category includes the Main Steam Relief Valves and ADS Valves, and the Suppression Chamber-to-Drywell Vacuum Breakers.

Considering the nature of these tests, the redundancy of the equipment comprising the systems and the low failure rate experience, it is concluded that extending the surveillance from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

G)

Leak Rate Tests These tests are associated with the Primary Containment (Drywell to Suppression Chamber).

Leak testing experience obtained at the BFN units indicates that extending the surveillance interval from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

El -10

H)

Inspections One Surveillance Requirement is considered in this category and it relates to the SLC System.

Monitoring of the sodium pentaborate solution parameters on a monthly basis as prescribed ensures the requisite enrichment is maintained.

Therefore, extending the period between analyses of the sodium pentaborate enrichment from 18 to 24 months would have only a small effect on plant safety.

In summary, many of the affected systems and components have other forms of testing performed on a more frequent basis that would discover possible failures.

Others have multiple redundant channels and redundant functions that could accomplish the safety function.

2.

Summary of Historical Maintenance and Surveillance Data Historical maintenance and surveillance data from the following sources were reviewed to determine if this data supports the preceding conclusion about effect on safety:

  • Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO)

Tracking Logs;

  • Problem Evaluation Reports (PERs);
  • License Event Reports (LERs);

Confirm that assumptions in the plant licensing basis would not be invalidated Appendix J Leak Rate and American Society of Me'chanical Engineers (ASME) Inservice Testing Programs Generic Letter 91-04 provides guidance for resolving potential conflicts between 10 CFR 50, Appendix J requirements and changing the associated surveillance El-11

intervals from a nominal 18 to 24 months.

The Technical Specifications for BFN address Appendix J requirements in Section 5.5.12, Primary Containment Leak Rate Testing Program.

Additionally, the Technical Specifications for BFN address the ASME Inservice Testing requirements in Section 5.5.6, Inservice Testing Program.

Although specific reference is not made to ASME Inservice Testing in the generic letter, the impact of 24-month refueling intervals on this program is addressed below for completeness.

1)

Primary Containment Leak Rate Testing Program (Technical Specification 5.5.12)

Plant documentation was reviewed, with regard to 10 CFR 50, Appendix J requirements, to determine if changes are required as a result of changing the fuel cycle length from 18 months to 24 months.

Appendix J requires periodic leak-rate testing of the primary containment isolation valves.

In October 1995, the NRC amended Appendix J, adding Option B, which established performance-based requirements.

The original prescriptive requirements of Appendix J were retained as Option A. Option B allows Types A, B, and C leak-rate testing intervals to be extended beyond' the originally-specified (Option A) intervals based on a demonstrated history of acceptable performance.

Implementation of Option B, as specified in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) report NEI 94-01, Revision 0 (Industry Guideline for Implementing Performance-based Option of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, July 26, 1995), and endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.163 (Performance-based Containment Leak-test Program, September, 1995) requires Type A testing to be performed at least once every 48 months, with extensions of up to once every 10 years based on acceptable performance.

Implementation of Option B requires Type B and C testing to be performed at least once every 30 months, with extensions of up to once every 10 years based on acceptable performance.

BFN has already implemented Option B, as reflected in the BFN Technical Specifications (Section 5.5.12, Primary Containment Leak Rate Testing Program).

Therefore, no exemptions or Technical El -12

Specification changes are required to comply with the guidance of Generic Letter 91-04.

2)

Inservice Testing Program (Technical Specification 5.5.6)

Inservice Testing (IST) surveillance requirements are controlled by the Inservice Testing Program required by Section 5.5.6 of the BFN Technical Specifications.

Because IST program details are located outside the Technical Specifications, the need for any specific Technical Specifications changes is precluded.

Any inservice testing which requires modification to accommodate the change from 18 to 24-month fuel cycles will be addressed by appropriate changes in the implementing plant procedures.

In summary, the non-instrument drift related Surveillance Requirements have been evaluated in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Generic Letter 91-04.

Extending the surveillance intervals to accommodate a 24-month fuel cycle would have only a small effect on plant safety.

B.

Instrument Calibration Surveillance Requirements of Generic Letter 91-04 states that Licensees should address several issues to provide an acceptable basis for increasing the calibration interval for instruments that are used to perform safety functions.

The NRC staff has identified a specific action that licensees should address for each of these issues in order to justify a proposed increase in the calibration interval.

Provided below is a summary of the recommended NRC actions contained in the Generic Letter, the applicable NRC issue from the Generic Letter, and the action TVA has taken to implement each recommended action and address each issue.

Following the discussion of TVA's response to the Generic Letter is a discussion of each affected Surveillance Requirement, the applicable system and instrument function, and the type of drift evaluation performed to justify the surveillance extension.

El -13

RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 91-04

1.

NRC RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Confirm that instrument drift as determined by as-found and as-left calibration data from surveillance and maintenance records has not, except on rare occasions, exceeded acceptable limits for a calibration interval.

NRC ISSUE:

The surveillance and maintenance history for instrument channels should demonstrate that most problems affecting instrument operability are found as a result of surveillance tests other than the instrument calibration.

If the calibration data show that instrument drift is beyond acceptable limits on other than rare occasions, the calibration interval should not be increased because instrument drift would pose a greater safety problem in the future.

TVA RESPONSE:

A review of BFN data indicated that there were only two occasions on Unit 2 since the units went to a 24 month calibration cycle, in which the as-found surveillance value was outside of the allowable values. An evaluation concluded that the 24 month calibration frequency for these instruments was still acceptable.

2.

NRC RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Confirm that the values of drift for each instrument type (make, model, and range) and application have been determined with a high probability and a high degree of confidence.

Provide a summary of the methodology and assumptions used to determine the rate of instrument drift with time based upon historical plant calibration data.

NRC ISSUE:

The licensee should have a body of as-found and as-left calibration data that permits the determination of the rate of instrument drift with time over the calibration interval.

This data should allow the determination of instrument drift for those instruments that perform safety functions.

TVA RESPONSE: The methodology used to perform the plant drift studies of the plant instrument surveillance data is documented in Reference 9. This methodology has been reviewed by the NRC and is consistent with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.105 (References 10 and 11).

A statistical evaluation was made of both instrument component and loop surveillance data to predict, within a 95%/95% confidence level, the E1-14

expected performance of an instrument component or loop based on the past performance of the instrument.

In some cases, there was insufficient data to perform a statistical evaluation.

For these instruments, vendor data or existing generic studies were used to conservatively determine a value for the drift.

To provide an adequate basis for the plant drift studies, the data for loops and components with similar characteristics were combined.

The surveillance data were analyzed to determine if the data were normally distributed.

A scatter plot of the data was developed and linear regression and least-squares curve analyses performed on the data to determine time dependency.

The corresponding accuracy values used in the instrument calculations were compared with the values from the drift study, and revisions were made to the calculation as necessary.

For example: The current calculation for the Reactor Vessel Water Level-Low, Level 3 ADS confirmatory signal, used an accuracy value of 0.774 inches of Water Column (inWC).

The drift study resulted in an accuracy value of 0.660 inWC.

For this new accuracy value, revised calculations confirmed that the margin to the Analytical Limit remained acceptable and that the current Technical Specifications allowable value is within the calculated allowable value band.

3.

NRC RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Confirm that the magnitude of instrument drift has been determined with a high probability and a high degree of confidence for a bounding calibration interval of 30 months for each instrument type (make, model number, and range) and application that performs a safety function.

Provide a list of the channels by Technical Specifications section that identifies these instrument applications.

NRC ISSUE:

The magnitude of the instrument drift error that occurs over a longer interval is an important consideration to justify an extension of the calibration interval for instruments that perform safety functions.

Licensees need to identify the applications where the calibration interval for these instruments depends upon the length of the fuel cycle and could be as long as 30 months (the extension limit for this calibration interval).

Licensees should determine the projected value of the instrument drift error that could occur over a 30-month interval for each of these applications.

El-15

TVA RESPONSE:

The drift performance was predicted with a 95%/95%

confidence level.

In some cases, there were insufficient data to perform a statistical evaluation.

For these instruments, vendor data or existing generic studies were used to conservatively determine a value for the drift.

The drift studies were performed for a 30 month cycle for each instrument type.

Where insufficient data existed to perform a drift study, instrument drift values were established from either vendor data or existing generic studies.

The affected instrument applications are listed in Table 2.

4.

NRC RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Confirm that a comparison of the projected instrument drift errors has been made with the values of drift used in the setpoint analysis.

If this results in revised setpoints to accommodate larger drift errors, provide proposed Technical Specifications changes to update trip setpoints.

If the drift errors result in a revised safety analysis to support existing setpoints, provide a summary of the updated analysis conclusions to confirm that safety limits and safety analysis assumptions are not exceeded.

NRC ISSUE:

Licensees should ensure that the projected value of instrument drift for an increased calibration interval is consistent with the values of drift errors used in determining safety system setpoints. These setpoints ensure that the consequences of accidents and anticipated transients are bounded within the assumptions of the safety analysis.

If the allowance for instrument drift that was used to establish trip setpoints for safety systems would be exceeded, licensees should establish new trip setpoints for safety systems.

El-16

Instrument Society of America (ISA) Standard, ISA-A67.04-1982, "Setpoints for Nuclear Safety-Related Instrumentation Used in Nuclear Power Plants," provides a methodology for evaluating instrument drift.

The NRC endorsed this standard in Regulatory Guide 1.105, "Instrument Setpoints for Safety-Related Systems."

If a new setpoint must be used to ensure that safety actions will be initiated consistent with the assumptions of the safety analysis, this will require a Technical Specifications revision to reflect a new trip setpoint value.

If the combination of instrument drift errors and current trip setpoints is not consistent with existing safety analysis assumptions, licensees should perform a new safety analysis to confirm that safety limits will not be exceeded with the increased drift associated with longer calibration intervals.

TVA RESPONSE:

Statistical evaluations were made of the Units 2 and 3 "as-found/as-left" surveillance data.

The results of these evaluations were used to confirm that the theoretical drift used in determining the allowable value and setpoint bounded the plant data.

In some cases, there was insufficient data to perform a statistical evaluation.

For these instruments, vendor data or existing generic studies were used to conservatively determine a value for the drift.

There was no impact on the instrument setpoints or Technical Specifications allowable values. There were no changes in the instrument analytical limits resulting from additional drift considerations; therefore, additional safety analyses were not required.

5.

NRC RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Confirm that the projected instrument errors caused by drift are acceptable for control of plant parameters to effect a safe shutdown with the associated instrumentation.

NRC ISSUE: Licensees should determine the effect of instrument errors on control systems used to effect a safe shutdown.

Licensees must confirm that the instrument errors caused by drift will not affect the capability to achieve a safe plant shutdown.

TVA RESPONSE:

The impact of the drift has been reviewed for each instrument setpoint calculation with a time dependent component.

Instruments without a time dependent component will not be impacted by 24-month cycles.

The calculations performed ensured that the current operating setpoints provide adequate margin to the Technical Specifications allowable values and the El -17

analytical limits.

Therefore, the projected instrument errors caused by drift are acceptable for control of plant parameters to achieve a safe shutdown.

6.

NRC RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Confirm that all conditions and assumptions of the setpoint and safety analyses have been checked and are appropriately reflected in the acceptance criteria of plant surveillance procedures for channel checks, channel functional tests, and channel calibrations.

NRC ISSUE:

Licensees should take care to avoid errors or oversights when establishing acceptance criteria for plant surveillance procedures that are derived from the assumptions of the safety analysis and the results of the methodology for determining setpoints. The NRC staff experience is that licensees have encountered problems when asked to confirm that instrument drift and other errors and assumptions of the safety and setpoint analyses are consistent with the acceptance criteria included in plant surveillance procedures.

This review should include channel checks, channel functional tests, and the calibration of channels for which surveillance intervals are being increased.

TVA RESPONSE:

The drift studies of the plant surveillance data and the setpoint analyses have been fully verified.

Results of setpoint calculation revisions will be incorporated into plant surveillance procedures prior to 24-month cycle operation.

7.

NRC RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Provide a summary description of the program for monitoring and assessing the effects of increased calibration surveillance intervals on instrument drift and its effect on safety.

NRC ISSUE:

Finally, licensees should have a program to monitor calibration results and the effect on instrument drift that will accompany the increase in calibration intervals. The program should ensure that existing procedures provide data for evaluating the effects of increased calibration intervals.

The data should confirm that the estimated errors for instrument drift with increased calibration intervals are within the limits projected.

E1-18

TVA RESPONSE:

To determine the effect of increasing the calibration intervals to 24-months, plant drift studies of the "as-found/as-left" surveillance data were performed for the instruments associated with the Surveillance Requirements listed in Table 2. Setpoint calculations were evaluated to determine the effects of the extended calibration interval on instrument accuraciss.

To meet the guidance documented in NRC Generic Letter 91-04, these plant drift studies were performed in accordance with the methodology in Reference 9.

This methodology has been reviewed by the NRC and is consistent with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.105 (References 10 and 11).

The statistical evaluation was made of both instrument component and loop surveillance data to predict, within a 95%/95% confidence level, the expected performance of an instrument component or loop based on the past performance of the instrument.

In some cases, there was insufficient data to perform a statistical evaluation.

For these instruments, vendor data or existing generic studies were used to conservatively determine a value for the drift.

Studies were performed for specific instruments where surveillance data were available.

To provide an adequate basis for the plant drift studies, the data for loops and components with similar characteristics were combined.

To compensate for variability in plant shutdowns, the studies were performed for 24 months + 25% (30 months total).

The plant drift studies resulted in repeatability values and the determination of time dependency.

The drift study value, based on surveillance data for groups of instruments, was compared to the appropriate accuracy value used in the setpoint calculation for these instruments.

If the plant data drift value was bounded by the current setpoint calculation value, no change in the current calculation was required.

If the plant data resulted in a 30 month drift value greater than the value used in the setpoint calculation, the value derived from the drift study was applied to the existing calculation.

If no drift study was available, an extended drift value was established from either vendor data or existing generic studies.

When a new value for drift was determined, it was used to revise the value in the instrument calculation.

The instrument setpoint and existing allowable value were then reconfirmed using the new drift value.

El -19

Figure 1 (see Page E1-75) illustrates the relationship between the setpoint (SP), the minimum and maximum acceptable allowable values [Av(min) and Av(max)] and the analytical limit (AL).

The upper half of the figure, starting with the SP, applies to a process that increases toward the AL.

The lower half of the figure applies to a process that decreases toward the AL.

Instrument drift error is included in the "Region of normal measurable uncertainties."

To provide operational reliability and ensure that the instrument will perform its design basis function, the Technical Specifications allowable value is established within the "Av Band."

Evaluation of a 30 month calibration interval showed that in essentially all cases the current values used in the setpoint calculations bound the derived field drift value. A review of BFN data indicated that there were only two occasions on Unit 2 since the units went to a 24 month calibration cycle, in which the as-found surveillance value was outside of the allowable values.

An evaluation concluded that the 24 month calibration frequency for these instruments was still acceptable.

This low number of occurrences confirms the validity of the process used to set the instruments.

In summary, based on the results of the studies described above, none of the instruments listed in Table 2 require a change in the Technical Specifications allowable value to accommodate a 24 month-nominal (30 month-maximum) calibration interval.

The setpoint calculations included the effects of extended power uprate operation.

Therefore, these results are applicable for 24-month calibration intervals considering extended power uprate operation.

Attention will continue to be paid to equipment performance by monitoring of affected instrument channels.

Recording of as-found and as-left values will continue routinely through TVA's surveillance program. A review is continuously performed through the work order program and failures are addressed through the corrective action program.

4.2 VALIDATION ITEMS FROM CONVERSION TO IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS As part of TVA's conversion package from Custom Technical Specifications to Improved Technical Specifications, TVA noted that several changes for Unit 1 required validation prior to Unit 1 recovery or necessary changes made.

Several of these validations were explicitly for calibration frequencies and others were related to the instrument configuration that supported the calibration frequencies.

The evaluations performed to verify these calibration frequencies followed the same methodology described above for the 24 month calibration frequencies.

While no changes to the Unit 1 Technical Specifications are required, these validations partially satisfy the issues that would require staff acceptance before Unit 1 restart as noted in the Safety Evaluation for Amendment 234, which documented the conversion to Improved Standard Technical Specifications for Unit 1, and Unit 1 License Condition 2.C.4.

The reviews described above validate the calibration frequencies identified during TVA's conversion from Custom Technical Specifications to Improved Technical Specifications.

B.

System Configurations During the conversion to the Improved Technical Specifications for Section 3.3.6.1, TVA noted that the physical configuration of the Unit 1 RWCU, HPCI and RCIC steam line break temperature monitoring functions were different from their Units 2 and 3 counterparts.

However, the proposed Improved Technical Specifications for Unit 1 were made consistent with Units 2 and 3. TVA stated that the configuration differences would be reconciled before Unit 1 recovery.

The design changes to make the Unit 1 RWCU, HPCI and RCIC steam line break temperature monitoring functions consistent with their Units 2 and 3 counterparts have been issued and will be implemented prior to entering the modes for which their respective Technical Specifications apply.

5.0 REGULATORY SAFETY ANALYSIS The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is submitting an amendment request to license DPR-33 for the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Unit 1.

5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration TVA has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment", as discussed below:

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response

No The proposed amendment changes the surveillance frequency from 18 months to 24 months for Surveillance Requirements in the Unit 1 Technical Specification that are normally a function of the refueling interval. Under certain circumstances, Surveillance Requirement 3.0.2 would allow a maximum surveillance interval of 30 months for these surveillances.

TVA's evaluations have shown that the reliability of protective instrumentation and equipment will be preserved for the maximum allowable surveillance interval.

The proposed changes do not involve any change to the design E1-62

or functional requirements of plant systems and the surveillance test methods will be unchanged.

The proposed changes will not give rise to any increase in operating power level, fuel operating limits, or effluents.

The proposed change does not affect any accident precursors.

In addition, the proposed changes will not significantly increase any radiation levels.

Based on the foregoing considerations and the evaluations completed in accordance with the guidance of Generic Letter 91-04, it is concluded that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response

No The proposed amendment does not require a change to the plant design, nor the mode of plant operation. The proposed changes do not create the possibility of any new failure mechanisms.

No new external threats or release pathways are created.

Therefore, the implementation of the proposed amendment will not create a possibility for an accident of a new or different type than those previously evaluated.

3.0 Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response

No The proposed amendment changes the surveillance frequency from 18 months to 24 months for Surveillance Requirements in the Unit 1 Technical Specification that are normally a function of the refueling interval. Under certain circumstances, Surveillance Requirement 3.0.2 would allow a maximum surveillance interval of 30 months for these surveillances.

Although the proposed Technical Specification changes will result in an increase in the interval between surveillance tests, the impact on system availability is small based on other, more frequent testing or redundant systems or equipment.

There is no evidence of any failures that would impact the availability of the systems.

This change does not alter the existing setpoints, Technical Specification allowable values or analytical limits.

The assumptions in the current safety analyses are not impacted and the proposed amendment does not reduce a margin of E1 -63

safety.

Therefore, the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

Based on the above, TVA concludes that the proposed amendments present no significant hazards consideration under the standards

  • set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The proposed Surveillance Requirement changes were evaluated in accordance with the guidance provided in NRC Generic Letter 91-04, "Changes in Technical Specification Surveillance Intervals to Accommodate a 24-Month Fuel Cycle", dated April 2, 1991.

Justification for these changes has also been provided in accordance with the guidance contained in Generic Letter 91-04.

Based on the evaluation presented above, TVA has concluded that the proposed Technical Specification changes in instrumentation surveillance frequency to a 24-month interval are consistent with the guidance of Generic Letter 91-04.

TVA's monitoring program is adequate for assessing the effects of the extended instrument calibration surveillance intervals on future instrument drift.

In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or the health and safety of the public.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

A review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10

'CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement.

However, the proposed amendment does not involve:

(i) a significant hazards consideration; (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite; or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no El-64

environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
