BASES Generic Letter 88-17 and NUREG-1410 involve concerns associated with aloss of residual heat removal. Numerous events have occurred in theindustry that resulted in a loss of residual heat removal during reducedinventory operation. This is of great concern due to the potential forsubstantial core damage occurring in a relatively short time period.
This Selected Licensee Commitment depicts those commitments which areextremely important to nuclear safety, however, are not presently covered byTechnical Specifications.
The basis for the requirement for the reactor to be subcritical for 7 days is toensure 2.5 hours until the core is uncovered following a loss of decay heatremoval when at mid-loop operation (Refs. 10, 11).

TESTING REQUIREMENTS None
BASES Generic Letter 88-17 and NUREG-1 410 involve concerns associated with aloss of residual heat removal. Numerous events have occurred in theindustry that resulted in a loss of residual heat removal. This is of greatconcern due to the potential for substantial core damage occurring in arelatively short time period.
The vent path is provided to address Expeditious Action (7) of Generic Letter88-17. The vent path is provided to assure that the nozzle dams are notdislodged due to pressurization that could result on a loss of decay heatremoval event resulting in core boiling. In addition, in the absence of asufficient vent path, pressurization in combination with cold leg openingscould allow water to be ejected from the vessel and lead to core uncovery.

TR 16.7-9-20 Verify proper installation of pressurizer insulation. 18 months
TR 16.7-9-21 Verify pressurizer heaters powered from the SSS have a 18 monthscapacity of > 70 kW.
BASES The SSS is designed to mitigate the consequences of certain postulatedfire, security, and station blackout incidents by providing capability tomaintain MODE 3 conditions and by controlling and monitoring vitalsystems from locations external to the main control room. This capabilityis consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R,NUREG-0800, Section 9.5-1, and Appendix A to Branch TechnicalPosition APSCB 9.5-1.
The TESTING REQUIREMENTS ensure that the SSS systems andcomponents are capable of performing their intended functions. Therequired level in the SSS diesel generator fuel storage tank ensuressufficient fuel for 72 hours uninterrupted operation. It is assumed that,within 72 hours, either offsite power can be restored or additional fuel canbe added to the storage tank.
Although the standby makeup pump is not nuclear safety related and wasnot designed according to ASME Code requirements, it is tested quarterlyto ensure its FUNCTIONALITY. The TESTING REQUIREMENTconcerning the standby makeup pump water supply ensures that anadequate water volume is available to supply the pump continuously for72 hours.
Total accumulative. LEAKAGE is calculated in the NC System LeakageCalculation procedure as identified + unidentified + seal leakoff(References 2 and 3). The REMEDIAL ACTION limit of 20 gpm totalaccumulative LEAKAGE provides additional margin to allow forinstrument inaccuracy, and for the predicted increase in seal leakoff ratedue to heatup of the reactor coolant pump seal injection water supplytemperature following the SSS event (due to spent fuel pool heatup).Following the increase in seal injection temperature, the standby makeuppump flow of 26 gpm is sufficient to provide in excess of this totalaccumulative LEAKAGE, thereby assuring that reactor coolant systeminventory is maintained at MODE 3 conditions. The supporting evaluationis provided in CNC-1223.04-00-0072 (Ref. 4).
A visual inspection of the diesel starting 24-volt batteries, cell plates, andbattery racks provides an indication of physical damage or abnormaldeterioration that could potentially degrade battery performance. Since
Catawba Units 1 and 2 16.7-9-4 Revision 6
SSS16.7-9
BASES (continued)
the battery cell jars are not transparent, a direct visual inspection of thecell plates cannot be performed. Instead, the cell plates are inspected forphysical damage and abnormal deterioration by: 1) visually inspectingthe jar sides of each cell for excessive bowing and/or deformation, and 2)visually inspecting the electrolyte of each cell for abnormal appearance.
Verifying individual cell voltage while on float charge for the SSS dieselstarting 24-Volt batteries ensures that each cell is capable of supportingits intended function. Float charge is the condition in which the charger issupplying the continuous charge required to overcome the internal lossesof a battery (or battery cell) and maintain the battery (or battery cell) in afully charged state. The battery cell voltage limit of 1.36 volts isconsistent with the nominal design voltage of the battery and is based onthe manufacturer's recommended minimum float charge voltage for afully charged cell with adequate capacity. The battery is designed andsized with a capacity margin sufficient to allow up to one cell per batterybank to be fully degraded with a voltage < 1.36 volts assuming that nocells are jumpered out. The battery sizing calculations account for onedegraded cell per battery bank by assuming the degraded cells undergoa worst case polarity reversal during SSS diesel starting.
Verification of proper installation of pressurizer insulation ensures thatpressurizer heat losses during an SSS event do not exceed the capacityof the pressurizer heaters powered from the SSS.
Testing of the pressurizer heater capacity ensures the full capacity of theheaters is available to maintain a steam bubble in the pressurizer duringan SSS event.

(a) When venting or purging from containment to the atmosphere, the trip setpoint shall not exceed the equivalent limits ofSLC 16.11-6 in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. When not venting or purging in Modes 5or 6, the alarm setpoint concentration (MCi/ml) shall be such that the actual submersion dose rate would not exceed 5mR/hr without alarm. When not venting or purging in Modes 1 through 4, the alarm setpoint shall be no more than 3times the containment atmosphere activity as indicated by the radiation monitor.
(b) For EMF-46A & B: The EMF monitor associated with the operating Component Cooling Water System train shall beFUNCTIONAL. This requirement is based on the existence of an interlock which blocks the EMF loss of flow alarm frombeing received in the control room when the associated train pump motor(s) are not running.
(c) The setpoint is as required by the primary to secondary leak rate monitoring program.
Catawba Units 1 and 2 16.7-10-8 Revision 4
Radiation Monitoring for Plant Operations16.7-10
BASES The FUNCTIONALITY of the radiation monitoring instrumentation forplant operations ensures that: (1) the associated action will be initiatedwhen the radiation level monitored by each channel or combinationthereof reaches its setpoint, (2) the specified coincidence logic ismaintained, and (3) sufficient redundancy is maintained to permit achannel to be out of service for testing or maintenance. The radiationmonitors for plant operations senses radiation levels in selected plantsystems and locations and determines whether or not predeterminedlimits are being exceeded. The radiation monitors send actuation signalsto initiate alarms or automatic isolation action and actuation of emergencyexhaust or ventilation systems. Some of the final actuations aredependent on plant condition in addition to the actuation signals from theradiation monitors.
Operation of the Component Cooling Water (CCW) System Train A withthe Train A Radiation Monitoring System (EMF) monitor non-functionaland relying on the Train B EMF monitor for detection of radioactivity is notpermissible. Likewise, operation of the CCW System Train B with theTrain B EMF monitor non-functional and relying on the Train A EMFmonitor for detection of radioactivity is not permissible. This is due to theinterlock between the EMF monitor low-flow alarm and the operation ofthe CCW System pump motors on the same train. The EMF monitor inthe operating CCW System pump train must be FUNCTIONAL, or thecompensatory measures taken as specified.
Initiation of the Containment Purge Exhaust System (CPES) with EMF-39non-functional is not permissible. The basis for Required Action B.1 is toallow the continued operation of the CPES with EMF-39 initiallyFUNCTIONAL. Continued operation of the CPES is contingent upon theability of the affected unit to meet the requirements as noted in RequiredAction B.1.

Thesecommitments were made as a means of providing additional defense-in-depth during movement of non-recently irradiated fuel assemblies incontainment or in the fuel building. The commitments concerning non-recently irradiated fuel movement with an open containment equipment hatchhave not been implemented in this SLC. Until such time that a methodologyis developed for complying with the commitments concerning non-recentlyirradiated fuel movement with an open containment equipment hatch, thehatch shall be maintained closed.
In the revised analysis utilizing the Alternative Source Term for a fuelhandling accident in containment, no credit is taken for containment integritywith respect to containment equipment hatch closure, containment air lockclosure, containment penetration closure, or filtration by the CPES prior torelease. For a postulated fuel handling accident within the fuel building', boththe fuel handling accident and the weir gate drop accident analyses wererevised. In the revised analyses, no credit is taken for filtration of the releaseby the FHVES.
The revised analyses confirmed that sufficient radioactive decay hasoccurred after 72 hours that certain existing controls are no longer necessaryto ensure that the consequences of a postulated fuel handling accidentremain within regulatory limits. The analysis demonstrated that a decayperiod of 19.5 days was sufficient to ensure that the consequences of a weirgate drop accident remain within regulatory limits.
Although not required by the accident analysis, these administrative controlswere committed to be put in place during the movement of non-recentlyirradiated fuel. If movement of irradiated fuel assemblies were to occur priorto the 72-hour decay period, the currently existing Technical Specificationcontrols would apply.
Administrative controls exist such that the weir gate will not be moved overspent fuel assemblies decayed less than 19.5 days.
For the purpose of this SLC, the definition of availability for the FHVES isbeing capable of performing its design basis functions as defined by theTechnical Specification 3.7.13, "Fuel Handling Ventilation Exhaust System(FHVES)" surveillance tests.
For the purpose of this SLC, the definition of an open containmentpenetration is a penetration that provides direct access from the containmentatmosphere to the outside environment.

BASES The Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation is provided tomonitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials ingaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents. TheAlarm/Trip Setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted inaccordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM to ensure thatthe Alarm/Trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20. TheFUNCTIONALITY and use of this instrumentation is consistent with therequirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFRPart 50. The sensitivity of any noble gas activity monitor used to showcompliance with the.gaseous effluent release requirements of SLC 16.11-8 shallbe such that concentrations as low as 1 x 10-6 pCi/cc are measurable.
Initiation of the Containment Purge Exhaust System (CPES) with EMF-39 non-functional is not permissible. The basis for Required Action F.1 is to allow thecontinued operation of the CPES with EMF-39 initially FUNCTIONAL. Continuedoperation of the CPES is contingent upon the ability of the affected unit to meetthe requirements as noted in Required Action F.1.
TR 16.11-7-7 requires the performance of a COT on the applicable RadioactiveGaseous Effluent Radiation Monitors. The test ensures that a signal from thecontrol room module can generate the appropriate alarm and actuations. Therequired actuations/isolations for a High Radiation condition (i.e., radiation levelabove its Trip 2 setpoint) are listed below for each monitor.
OEMF-50 - Waste Gas Discharge Monitor1WG160 closes when EMF-50 detects radiation level above its setpoint.
1/2EMF-33 - Condensate Steam Air Ejector Exhaust MonitorThe following actuations occur when EMF-33 detects radiation level above itssetpoint:1. Closure of BB27 is required in order to isolate the Blowdown Tank from
the environment. Because of plant limitations/restrictions:a. Opening the valve (in order to verify it goes closed on a High
Radiation signal) is only possible during outages due to thenegative effects on the Blowdown System with the unit at power.
b. Testing during innages will be by verification of relay contactsopening in the valve circuit.
2. Closure of BB24, BB65, BB69, and BB73 is required to minimize theamount of potentially contaminated material being delivered to theBlowdown Tank.
3. Closure of NM269, NM270, NM271, and NM272 is required to minimizethe amount of potentially contaminated material being delivered to theConventional Sampling System.
4. Closure of NM267 is required to minimize the amount of potentiallycontaminated material being delivered to the Condensate Storage Tankby isolating flow through EMF-34.
5. Closure of BB48 is required to minimize the amount of potentiallycontaminated material being delivered from the Blowdown Systemdischarge to the Turbine Building sump.

1/2EMF-39 - Containment Noble Gas MonitorThe following actuations occur when EMF-39 detects radiation level above itssetpoint:1. Signals are provided to both trains of the Solid State Protection System
(SSPS) to initiate a CPES isolation. This is verified by observing thatRelays K615 in the SSPS A output cabinet and the SSPS B outputcabinet are latched.
2. EMF-39 isolates the CPES without going through the SSPS by stoppingCPES supply fans A and B, CPES exhaust fans A and B, and by closingthe appropriate valves and dampers.
3. Containment Evacuation Alarm, unless the source range trip is blocked.

TR 16.11-7-8 requires the performance of a COT on the Containment Noble GasMonitor, 1/2EMF-39. The test ensures that a signal from the control roommodule can generate the appropriate alarm and actuations. The requiredactuations/isolations for a High Radiation condition (i.e., radiation level above itsTrip 2 setpoint) are listed below.
