SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION PELATED TO AMENDMENT NO.100 TO PROVISIONAL OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-20 CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY PALISADES PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-255 INTRODUCTION In November 1980 the staff issued NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," which included all TMI Action Plan items approved by the Commission for implementation at nuclear power reactors. NUREG-0737 identifies those items for which Technical Specifications are required.
A' number of items which require Technical Specifications (TSs) were scheduled for implementation after December 31, 1981. The staff provided guidance on
(
the scope of Technical Specifications for all of these items in Generic Letter 83-37, issued to all Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) licensees on November 1, 1983.
In this Generic Letter, the staff requested licensees to:
1.
review their facility's Technical Specifications to determine if they were consistent with the guidance provided in the Generic Letter, and i
2.
submit an application for a licensee amendment where deviations or absence of Technical Specifications were found.
l By letter dated July 9, 1984, Consumers Power Company (the licensee) responded to Generic Letter 83-37 by submitting Technical Specification I
change request for the Palisades Plant. This evaluation covers the TMI Action Plan Item II.B.3, Post-Accident Sampling System.
~
EVALUATION i
Post-Accident Samplina System (II.B.3)
The guidance provided by Generic Letter 83-37 requested that an administrative program be established, implemented and maintained to ensure that the licensee has the capability to obtain and analyze reactor coolant and containment atmosphere samples under accident conditions. The Post-Accident l
Sampling Sytem is not required to be operable at all times. Administrative procedures are to be established for returning inoperable instruments to operable status as soon as practicable.
l The licensee has provided a proposed revision to the TS which is consistent l
with the guidelines provided in our Generic Letter 83-37. The staff l
concludes that the proposed TS for Post-Accident Sampling System is acceptable.
