SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION In accordance with the provisions

  • of 10 CFR 50.90, Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DENG) is submitting a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Millstone Power Station Unit 2 (MPS2) and Millstone Power Station Unit 3 (MPS3). DENG proposes to adopt TSTF-522, "Revise Ventilation System Surveillance Requirements to Operate for 10 Hours per Month," and decrease ventilation system flow test requirements from 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> at the frequency specified in the MPS2 and MPS3 Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP), to 15 continuous minutes at the frequency specified in the SFCP. For MPS2, the revision is proposed for TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.6.5.1 for the Enclosure Building Filtration System (EBFS). For MPS3, the revision is proposed for TS SR 4.6.6.1 for the Supplementary Leak Collection and Release System (SLCRS), TS SR 4.7.7 for the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS), and TS SR 4.7.9 for the Auxiliary Building Filter System (ABFS). Additionally, it is proposed that MPS2 TS SR 4.6.5.1.a be revised to remove the requirement to run the flow test with the duct heaters energized since the charcoal adsorption test is performed at 95% relative humidity.

These proposed changes do not impact the ability of EBFS, ABFS, CREVS, and SLCRS to perform their safety functions. Therefore, the proposed changes will not adversely affect control room habitability or result in any, significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

2.0 ASSESSMENT DENG proposes to adopt TSTF-522, Revision 0, "Revise Ventilation System Surveillance Requirements to Operate for 10 Hours per Month," (Reference 5.1) for MPS2 TS SR 4.6.5.1.a, and for MPS3 TS SRs 4.6.6.1.a, 4.7.7.b, and 4.7.9.a. These SRs currently require operating associated ventilation systems, with the heaters operating, for a 10 hour1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> period at the frequency specified in the SFCP. The proposed change would modify these SRs to require operation of the systems for 15 continuous minutes at the frequency specified in the SFCP.

Additionally, it is proposed that MPS2 TS SR 4.6.5.1.a be revised to remove the requirement to conduct the flow test with the duct heaters energized. The charcoal filter adsorption test is performed at a relative humidity of 95%. TSTF-522 indicates that, in accordance with Regulatory Position 4.9 of Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 3, (Reference 5.2), plants that perform adsorption testing with a relative humidity of 95% do not require heaters for the ventilation system to perform its specified safety function. In this case, TSTF-522 indicates that plants may eliminate reference to the heaters in the TS and TS Bases. provides marked-up MPS2 TS pages showing the proposed change. provides marked-up MPS2 TS Bases pages showing the proposed change. Attachment 4 provides marked-up MPS3 TS pages showing the proposed

Serial No.18-370 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Attachment 1, Page 2 of 7 changes. Attachment 5 provides marked-up MPS3 TS Bases pages showing the proposed changes. The TS Bases mark-ups are provided for information only. '

2.1 Applicability of Published Safety Evaluation DENG has reviewed the model safety evaluation (Reference 5.3) dated September 13, 2012 and issued in the Federal Register (Reference 5.4) on September 20, 2012 (77 FR 58421). This review included a review of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's evaluation, as well as the information provided in TSTF-522, Revision 0. DENG has concluded that the justification presented in the TSTF-522, Revision O proposal and the model safety evaluation prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to Millstone Power Station (MPS) and justify this amendment for the incorporation of the changes to the MPS TS.

2.2 Optional Changes and Variations DENG is proposing the following variations from th~ TS changes described in TSTF-522, Revision 0, or the applicable parts of the NRC staff's model safety evaluation dated September 13, 2012:

1. The NRC's model safety evaluation noted that some plants havecadopted TSTF-425, which relocated the fixed Surveillance Request Frequencies to a licensee-controlled SFCP. The SFCP was adopted under License Amendment 324 (Reference 5.5) for MPS2 and License Amendment 258 (Reference 5.6) for MPS3. The MPS2 and MPS3 SFCP currently specify performing filter runs every 31 days for the TS SRs being changed.
2. MPS2 and MPS3 have custom TSs. The inserts provided in TSTF-522 are revised to fit the MPS2 and MPS3 TS formats. Where the SR specifies "10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />", the SR is being revised to specify "15 continuous minutes". Where the SR specifies "10 continuous hours", the SR is being revised to specify "15 continuous minutes".
3. The MPS2 TS uses different numbering and titles than the Combustion Engineering Owners Group (GEOG) Standard Technical. Specifications (STS)

NUREG-1432 (Reference 5.7), which was the basis for the TSTF-522 mark-ups for Combustion Engineering plants. The difference is administrative and does not affect the applicability of TSTF-522 to the MPS2 TS. The table below shows the differences between the plant-specific TS numbering and titles and the corresponding TSTF-522 numbering and titles:

MPS2 TS TSTF-522 CEOG STS Number and Title Number and Title TS 3/4.6.5.1, Secondary Containment TS 3.6.8, Shield Building ~xhaust Air Enclosure Building Filtration System, Cleanup System (SBEACS) (Dual),

SR 4.6.5.1 SR 3.6.8.1

Serial No.18-370 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Attachment 1, Page 3 of 7

  • There are NUREG-1432 STS sections not contained in MPS2 TS. The corresponding mark-ups included in TSTF-522 for these surveillances are not identical to MPS2. Regulatory Guide 1.52 is applicable to the MPS2 Secondary Containment Enclosure Building Filtration System, because it is a post-accident Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) atmosphere cleanup system containing air filtration and adsorption units. Therefore, this is an administrative deviation from TSTF-522 with no impact on the NRC staff's model safety evaluation ..

Additionally, MPS2 does not have STS 5.5.11, "Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VTFP)". The requirements of the VFTP (laboratory test of a charcoal sample, HEPA filter bypass testing, and charcoal filter bypass testing) are performed as directed in TS 3/4.6.5.1.

4. The MPS3 TS uses different numbering and titles than the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) STS NUREG-1431 (Reference 5.8), which was t.he basis for the TSTF-522 mark-ups for Westinghouse plants. The difference is administrative and does not affect the applicability of TSTF-522 to the MPS3 TS. The table below shows the differences between the plant-specific TS numbering and titles and the corresponding TSTF-522 numbering and titles:

MPS3 TS TSTF-522 WOG STS I

Number and Title Number and Title TS 3/4.6.6. 1, Secondary Containment TS 3.6.13, Shield Building Air Cleanup Supplementary Leak Collection And System (SBACS) (Dual and Ice Release System, Condenser),

SR 4.6.6.1 SR 3.6.13.1 TS 3/4.7.7, Control Room Emergency TS 3.7.10, Control Room Emergency Ventilation System, Filtration System (CREFS),

SR 4.7.7 SR 3.7.10.1 TS 3/4.7.9, Auxilic;1ry Building Filter TS 3/4.7.14, Penetration Room System, Exhaust Air Cleanup System, SR 4.7.9 (PREACS) TS 3.7.14.1 There are NUREG-1431 STS sections not contained in MPS3 TS. The corresponding mark-ups included in TSTF-522 for these surveillances are not identical to MPS3. Regulatory Guide 1.52 is applicable to the MPS3 systems because they are post-accident Engineered Safety Feature (E:SF) atmosphere cleanup system containing air filtration and adsorption units. Therefore, this is an administrative deviation from TSTF-522 with no impact on the NRC staff's model safety evaluation dated September 20, 2012 (77 FR 58421). Additionally, MPS3 does not Have STS 5.5.11, "Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VTFP)". The requirements of the VFf P (laboratory test of a charcoal sample, HEPA filter bypass testing*, and charcoal filter bypass testing) are performed as directed in TS 3i4.6.6.1, 3/4.7.7, and 3/4.7.9.

The proposed changes are consistent with the current licensing basis, the NRC's model safety evaluation, and therefore, are an allowable variation from the approved Traveler.

3.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

3.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration DENC is submitting a request for an amendment to the TS for MPS2 and MPS3. DENC proposes to adopt TSTF-522, "Revise Ventilation System Surveillance Requirements to Operate for 10 Hours per Month," and decrease the ventilation system flow durations from 1O hours at the frequency specified in the SFCP, to 15 continuous minutes at the frequency specified in the SFCP. For MPS2, the revision is proposed for TS SR 4.6.5.1 (EBFS). For MPS3, the 1 revision is proposed for TS SR 4.6.6.1 (SLCRS), TS SR 4.7.7 (CREVS), and TS SR 4.7.9 (ABFS). The proposed change revises the SRs which currently require operating ventilation systems with the heaters operating for a 1O hour period at the frequency specified in the SFCP with a requirement to operate systems for 15 continuous minutes at the frequency specified in the SFCP. Additionally, it is proposed that MPS2 TS SR 4.6.5.1.a be revised to remove the requirement to conduct the flow test with the duct heaters energized since the charcoal adsorption test is performed at 95% relative humidity.

As required by 10 CFR 50.91 (a), an analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration is presented below using the guidance provided in 10 CFR 50.92 and TSTF-522:

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

Response: No.

The proposed change modifies existing SRs to operate the EBFS system for MPS2 and ABFS, CREVS, and SLCR.S systems for MPS3 that are equipped with electric heaters for a 10 hour1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> period at the frequency specified in the SFCP with a requirement to operate the systems for 15 continuous minutes. Additionally, the SR for EBFS will be revised to remove the requirement conduct the flow test with the duct heaters energized since the charcoal adsorption test is performed at 95%

relative humidity.

These systems are not accident initiators and therefore, these changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability of an accident. The proposed system and filter testing changes are consistent with current regulatory guidance for these systems and will continue to assure that these systems perform their design function which may include mitigating accidents. Thus the change does not involve a significant increase in the consequences of an accident.

Therefore, it is concluded that this change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Serial No.18-370 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Attachment 1, Page 5 of 7

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 change modifies existing SRs to operate the EBFS, ABFS, CREVS, and SLCRS systems equipped with electric heaters for a 10 hour1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> period at the frequency specified in the SFCP with a requirement to operate the systems for 15 continuous minutes. Additionally, the SR for EBFS will be revised to remove the requirement conduct the flow test with the duct heaters energized since the charcoal adsorption test is performed at 95% relative humidity.

The change proposed for these ventilation systems does not change any system operations or maintenance activities. Testing requirements will be revised and will continue to demonstrate that the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and the system components are capable of performing their intended safety functions.

The change does not create new failure modes or mechanisms and no new

. accident precursors are generated.

Therefore, it is concluded that this change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

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

Response: No.

The proposed change modifies existing SRs to operate the EBFS, ABFS, CREVS, and SLCRS systems equipped with electric heaters for a 10 hour1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> period at the frequency specified in the SFCP with a requirement to operate the systems for 15 continuous minutes. Additionally, TSTF-522 identifies a regulatory position which indicates that plants which test ventilation system adsorption at a relative humidity of 95% do not require heaters for the ventilation system to perform its specified safety function systems and that reference to the heaters can be removed from the TS. Based on justification provided in TSTF-522, the existing SR for EBFS will be revised to remove the requirement to complete the ventilation system test with the duct heaters energized since the adsorption test is performed at 95%

relative humidity. EBFS will continue to have the heaters, but they will not be credited in the TS.

The design basis for the ventilation systems' heaters is to heat the incoming air which reduces the relative humidity. Per TSTF-522, the monthly 10 hour1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> system operation utilizing the heaters was intended to remove moisture from the charcoal adsorber banks. Because the ASTM D3803-1989 Standard no longer requires this 10 hour1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> operation utilizing the heaters, the duration is replaced with a continuous 15 minute operation requirement. The proposed change is consistent

Serial No.18-370 Docket Nos. 50-336/423 Attachment 1, Page 6 of 7 with guidance provid_ed in Regulatory Position 4.9 of Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 3.

Therefore, it is concluded that this change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, DENG concludes that the proposed change presents 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.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

A review has determined that the proposed change 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 change 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 change 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 environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed change.

Therefore, wheneverLCO 3-7_9 is entered due totheABFtrain.A.(B) being inoperable, LCO 3-6.6.1 nmstbe entered due to the SLCRS train A (B) being inoperable..

When a SLCRS LCO is not met, it is not necessaiy to declare the secondaiy containment inoperable_ However, in this event, it is necessary to determine that a loss of safety function does not exist A loss of safety function exists when, assumin_g no concurrent single failure, a safety

function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be pertormed.

AwJicabi]ity In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could lead to a fission product release to containment that leaks to the secondary containment. The large break LOCA, on which this system's design is based, is a full-power event. Less severe LOCAs and leakage still re(Jll!{e the system to be OPERABLE throughout these MODES_ The probability and severity of a LOCA decrease as core power and reactor coolant system pressure decrease.. Wi1h the reactor shut clown, the probability ofrelease of radioactivity resulting from such an accident is low.

In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and cons~ces of a DBA are low due to the pressw:e and temperatw:e limitatJ.ons in these MODES.

Additionally, the system provides temperature control for the control room envelope (CRE) during nonnal and post-accident operatiOllS.

The control room emergency ventilation system is comprised of the CRE emergency air filtration system and a temperature control system.

The control room emergency air filtration system consists of two red1llldant systems that recirculate and filter the air in the CRE and a CRE bmmdary that limits the inleakage ofunfiltered air. Each control room emergency air filtration system consists of a moisture separator, electric heater, prefilter, upstream. high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, charcoal adsoroer, downstream HEPA filter, and fan. Additionally, ductwmk, valves or dampers, and instnunentation form part of the system The CR.Eis the area within the confines of the CRE bo1llldarythat contains the spaces that control room occupants inhabit to control the unit during nmmal and accident conditions.

BACKGROUND (Continued) toilet and utility rooms_ The CRE is protected during nonna1 operation, natural events, and accident conditions_ The CRE boundary is the combination of walls, floor, ceiling, ducting, valves, doors, penetrations and equipment that physically form the CRE. The OPERABIU1Y of the CRE bound:uy must be maintained to ensure that the inleakage of unfiltered air into the CRE vliJ.1 not exceed the inleakage assumed in the licensing basis analysis of design basis accident (DBA) consequences to CRE occupants. The CRE and its boundary- are defined in the Control Room Envelope Habitability Program and UFSAR Section 6-4.2.L Normal Operation A portion of the control room emergency ventilation system is required to operate during normal operations to ensure the temperature of the control room is maintained at or below 95°F.

Post Accident Operation The control room emergency ventilation system is required to operate during post-accident operations to ensure the temperature of the CRE is maintained and to ensure the CRE will remain habitable during at;d following accident conditions.

The following event occurs upon receipt ofa control building isolation (CBI) signal or a signal indicating high radiation in the air supply duct to the CRE.

The control room emergency ventilation system will automatically start in the emergency mode (filtered pressurization whereby outside air is diverted through the filters to the CRE to maintain a positive pressure).

APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSIS The OPERABILITY of the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System ensures that: (1) the ambient air temperature does not exceed the allowable temperature for continuous-duty rating for the equipment and instrumentation cooled by this system, and (2) the CRE will remain MII.LSTONE- UNIT 3 B3/4 7-11 Amendment No. m,

APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSIS (Continued) habitable for occupants during and following all credible accident conditions. The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction "'ith control room design provisions is based on limiting the radiation exposure to CRE occupants. For all postulated design basis accidents, the radiation exposure to CRE occupants shall be 5 rem TEDE or less, consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.67_ This limitation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criterion 19 of Appendix A, 10 CFR Part 50_

LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION Two independent control room emergency air filtration systems are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one is available in the event the other system is disabled_

Total system failure, such as from a loss ofboth ventilation trains or from an inoperable CRE boundary, could result in exceeding a dose of 5 rem TEDE to the CRE occupants in the event of a large radioactive release.

A control room emergency air filtration system is OPERABLE when the associated:

a_ Fan is OPERABLE;

b. HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers are not excessively restricting flow and are capable of perfonning theirfiltration functions; and
c. moisture separator, heater, ductwork, valves, and dampers are OPERABLE, and air circulation can be maintained.

In order for the CREVs to be considered OPERABLE, the CRE boundary must be maintained such that the CRE occupant dose from a large radioactive release does not exceed the calculated dose in the licensing basis consequence analyses for DBAs, and that CRE occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke..

TS LCO 3_7_7 is modified by a footnote allowing the CRE boundary to be opened intermittently under administrative controls. This footnote only applies to openings in the CRE boundary that can be rapidly restored to the design condition, such as doors, hatches, 1v1ILLSTONE- UNIT 3 B3/4 7-12 Amendment No_ He,',~,

!Provided for Information Only I LBDCRNo_ 08-JMP3-014 October 21, 2008 PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 314 7 7 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM (Continued)

LIMITING CONDffiON FOR OPERATION (Continued) floor plugs, and access panels_ For entry and exit through doors, the administrative control of the opening is performed by the person(s) entering or exiting the area. For other openings, these controls should be proceduralized and consist of stationing a dedicated individual at the opening who is in continuous communication with the operators in the CRE. This individual will have a method to rapidly close the opening and to restore the CRE boundary to a condition equivalent to the design condition when a need for CRE isolation is indicated.

Operation of the Control Room Emeigency Ventilation System in the emergency mode is credited for design basis accident mitigation. The fuel handling accident analyses assume the emergency mode will be established within 30 minutes of a fuel handling accident. The other applicable design basis accidents (e.g_, large break: loss of coolant accident) assume the emergency mode will be established within 101 minutes of the accident. Even though manual operator action to establish the emergency mode could be credited within these time periods, the system has been designed to automatically establish the required equipment alignment upon receipt of a Control Building Isolation signal Therefore, when stopping a Control Room Emergency Filter Fan by placing the control switch in OFF, the fan remains OPERABLE. The administrative controls associated with the procedure in use to stop the fan are sufficient to ensure the associated control switch is returned to the AUTO position.

In addition, the Emergency Operating Procedure will ensure a Control Room Emeigency Filter fan is running in the emergency mode post accident well within the credited accident mitigation time frame.

Control Room inlet isolation valves 3HVC"AOV25 and 3HVC"AOV26 are maintained open with air isolated whenever Technical Specification 3_7_7 is applicable. The only procedural guidance to close 3HVC*AOV25 when this specification is applicable is in the alarm response procedure for smoke in the control room air inlet ventilation duct The alarm response procedure will provide direction to establish the filtered recirculation mode of operation by restoring air and closing 3HVC*AOV25_ During this limited time period. both Control Room Emergency Filtration trains remain OPERABLE, but degraded. Even though 3HVC*AOV25 is closed, it is a fail open valve and will automatically open on a Control Building Isolation signal, making it OPERABLE. However, should it to fail open, the system will not function. Therefore, it is not single failure proof and is degraded. Operation in this condition should be minimized.

ACTIONS d and e. are applicable during movement of recently inacliated fuel assemblies. The CREVs is required to be OPERABLE during fuel handling involving handling recently irradiated fuel (i.e., fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within the previous 350 hour0.00405 days <br />0.0972 hours <br />5.787037e-4 weeks <br />1.33175e-4 months <br />sj_

An analysis was completed that analyzed a bounding drop of a non-spent fuel component The analysis showed that the amount of fuel damage from this drop resulted in control room dose less than 5 rem TEDE without operation of the control room ventilation system.

ACTIONS MODES 1 2, 3. and4 a With one control room emeigency air filtration system inoperable for reasons other than an inoperable CRE boundary, action must be taken to restore the inoperable system to an OPERABLE status within 7 clays. In this condition, the remaining control room emergency air filtration system is adequate to perfom1 the CRE occupant protection

function. However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE train could result in a loss of the control room emergency air filtration system function. The 7-day completion time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and the ability of the remaining train to provide the required capability..

If the inoperable train cannot be restored to an OPERABLE status v..ithin 7 clays, the unit must be placed in at least HOT STANDBY within the n~16 hours and in COLD SHUIDOWN within the fullowing 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

(i) OPERABILTIY ofthe train will not be compromised by a flilure of the automatic actuation logic; and (11) active failures will be readily detected

e. With both control room emergency air filtration systems inoperable, or with the train required by ACI10N 'd' not capable ofbeing powered by an OPERABLE emergency power source, actions must be taken to suspend all operations involving the movement of recently irradiated fuel assemblies. This action places the unit in a condition that minimizes risk. This action does not preclude the movement of fuel to a safe position.

Following the complete or partial replacement of a HEPA filter bank, the OPERABILI1Y of the cleanup system should be confumed. This is accomplished by verifying that the cleanup system satisfies the in-place penetration and bypass leakage testing acceptance criterion ofless than 0.05% in accordance with ANSI NSl0-1980 for a DOP test aerosol while operating the system at a flow rate of 1,120 din::!: 20%.

Following the complete or partial replacement of a charcoal adsoroerbank, the OPERABILITY of the cleanup system should be confirmed. This is accomplished by verifying that the cleanup system satisfied the in-place penetration and bypass leakage testing acceptance criterion ofless th.,n 0.05% in accordance \liith .A!~SI NSI0-1980 fur a halogenated hydrocarbon reftigerant test gas while operating the system at a flow of 1,120 din= 20%,_

This Sulveillance verifies the OPERABILI1Y of the CRE boundary by testing for unfiltered air inleakage past the CRE boundary and into the CRE. The details of the testing are specified in the Control Room Envelope Habitability Program Toe CRE is considered habitable when the radiological dose to CRE occupants calculated in the licensing basis analyses ofDBA consequences is no more than 5 rem TEDE and the CRE occupants are protected ftomhazardous chemicals and smoke.. This SR verifies that the unfiltered air inleakage into the CRE is no greater than the flow rate assumed in the licensing basis analyses ofDBA consequences_ When unfiltered air inleakage is greater than the assumed flow rate, ACTION c_ must be entered. ACTION c_ allows lime to restore the CRE boundary to OPERABLE status provided mitigating actions can ensure that the CRE remains within the licensing basis habitability limits for the occupants following an accident Compensatory measures are discussed in Regulatory- Guide 1.196, which endorses, with exceptions, NEI 99-03.

These compensatory measures may also be used as mitigating actions as required by ACTION c_

Temporaiy analytical methods may also be used as compensatmy measures to restore OPERABILITY. Options forrestoring the CRE bound:nyto OPERABLE status include changing the licensing basis DBA consequence analysis, repairing the CRE bmmdary; or a combination of these actions. Depending upon the nature of the problem and the conective action, a full scope inleakage test may not be necessaiy to establish that the CRE boundaty has been restored to OPERABLE status. ,

Program. The operation of this system and the resultant effect on oifsite dosage calculations was f' assumed in the safety analyses. ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for SU1Veillance testing. LaboratOIY testing of methyl iodide penetration shall be perfonned in accordance with AS1M D3803-89 and Millstone Unit 3 specific parameters. The heater kW measured must be corrected to its nameplate rating. Variations in system voltage can lead to measurements of kW which cannot be compared to the nameplate rating because the output kW is proportional to the square of the voltage.

The Chaiging PumpJR.eactor Plant Component Cooling Water Pump Ventilation System is required to be available to support the Auxiliary Building Filter System and the Suppleme:ntai:y Leak Collection and Release System (SLCRS). The Chaiging Pump/Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Pump Ventilation System consists of two redundant trains, each capable of providing 100% of the required flow. Each train has a t\'\i"O position, Off' and "Auto," remote control switch. With the remote control switches for each train in the "Auto" position, the system is capable of antomatica11yttansfening operation to the redundant train in the event of a low flow condition in the operating train. The associated fans do not receive any safety related automatic start signals (e.g., Safety Injection Signal).

Placing the remote control miitch for a Charging Pump/Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Pump Ventilation Train in the "Off' position to start the redundant train or to perform post maintenance testing to verify availability ofthe redundant train will not affect the availability of that train, provided appropriate administrative controls have been established to ensure the remote control switch is immediately returned to the "Auto" position after the completion ofthe specified activities or in response to plant conditiOllS. These administrative controls include the use of an approved procedure and a designated individual at the control switch for the re.-pective Chaiging Pump/Reactor Plant Component Cooling Water Pump Ventilation Train who can rapidly respond to instructions from procedures, or control room personnel, based on plant conditions.

!Provided for Information Only I LBDCR 12-MP~03 March 12, 2012 PLAIW SYSTEMS BASES LCO 3.7.9 ACTION statement:

Wrth one Auxili3IY Building Filter System inoperable. restoration to OPERABLE status within 7 days is required.

Toe 7 days restoration time requirement is based on the following: Toe risk contribution is less fur an inoperable Auxiliaiy Building Filter System, than for the charging pump or reactor plant component cooling water (RPCCW) systems, which have a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> restoration time requirement. The AuxiliaIY Building Filter System is not a direct support system for the charging pumps or RPCCW p1D11ps. Because the pump area is a common area, and as long as the other train of the Auxiliary Building FJ.lter System remains OPERABLE, the 7 day restoration time limit is acceptable based on the low probability of a DBA occwring during the time period and the ability ofthe remaining train to provide the required capability. A concurrent failure ofboth trains would require en!Iyinto LCO 3.0.3 due to the loss of functional capability. The Auxiliaty Building Filter System does support the Snpplementuy Leak Collection and Release System (SLCRS) and the LCO ACTION statement time of7 days is consistent with that specified for SLCRS (See LCO 3.6.6.1).

Any time the OPERABIUTY of a HEPA :filter or charcoal adsoroerhousing has been affected by rep~ maintenance, modification, or replacement activity, post maintenance testing in accordance with SR 4.0.1 is required to demonstrate OPERABILITY.

Smyeilfance Rs:QJ*ire,pent 4 Z2 c Surveillance requirement 4.7.9.c requires that after 720 hows of operation a cbail::oal sample must be taken and the sample must be analyzed within 31 days after removal.

Toe 720 homs of operation requirement originates ftom Regulatmy Guide 1.52, Revision 2, March 1978, Table 2, Note "c", which states that 'Testing should be ped"onned (1) initially, (2) at least once per 18 months thereafter for systems maintained in a standby status or after 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> ofsystem operations, and (3) following painting, fire,, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system" This testing ensures that the cbarcoal adsorbency capacity has not degraded below acceptable limits as well as providing trending data. The 720 hour0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> figure is anarbitrarynwnberwhich is equivalent to a 30 day period. This criteria is directed to filter systems tl!at are nonnally in operation and also provide emergency air cleaning functions in the event of a Design Basis Accident. The applicable :filter units are not normally in operation and sample canisters are typically removed due to the 18 month criteria..
