1.0 DESCRIPTION

OF PROPOSED CHANGE The proposed License Amendment Request (LAR) would revise the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3)

Operating License (OL) and Improved Technical Specifications (ITS) to increase core power from 2609 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 3014 MWt. The requested change constitutes an Extended Power Uprate (EPU) and is requested to provide greater unit electrical generating capability.

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

Table I below presents the proposed changes to the current CR-3 OL and ITS requirements related to this EPU license amendment request and a brief discussion of the basis for the changes. The OL and ITS changes are identified in Attachment 2, "Operating License and Improved Technical Specification Changes (Markup)," and Attachment 3, "Operating License and Improved Technical Specification Changes (Revision Bar Format)". ITS Bases changes are provided for information only, in Attachment 4, "Improved Technical Specification Bases Changes (Markup)". Where indicated below, additional justification is provided in the CR-3 EPU Technical Report (TR) (Attachments 5 and 7).

Additionally, minor editorial and typographical corrections are presented in Table 2 and identified as administrative with an "A" in the ITS Changes Markup (Attachment 2). These changes have been made to obtain consistency with NUREG-1430, "Standard Technical Specifications - Babcock and Wilcox Plants," and TSTF-GG-05-01, "Writer's Guide for Plant-Specific Improved Technical Specifications."

Under certain temperature and concentration conditions, boron could precipitate out of solution, potentially reducing core heat transfer. OL Condition 2.C.(l 1) was approved in 1998 to assure the active methodologies for mitigating a boron precipitation condition (Dump-to Sump and Auxiliary Pressurizer Spray) were working effectively and that appropriate flow would be present in those lines. The LPI cross-tie and hot leg injection line will be installed to ensure that a portion of the LPI flow is injected into the hot leg and onto the core resulting in improved mixing and boron concentration control in the core as summarized in TR Appendix E, "Major Plant Modifications." As such, the requirement to maintain the OPERABILITY of the system of thennocouples on the Decay Heat Removal System drop line and the auxiliary pressurizer spray lines is no longer required.

OL../ITS Section Description of Change Basis of Change ITS 3.1.1, SHUTDOWN Revise the LCO to relocate the Although the specific SDM value in MARGIN (SDM) minimum limit of 1.0 % Ak/k to MODES 3, 4, and 5 is not changing during the COLR. EPU conditions, the cycle-specific value of LCO 3.1.1 is being removed from ITS and controlled in the COLR. During EPU conditions, the SDM requirement in ITS 3.1.4, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1 is increased from 1.0 % Ak/k to 1.3% Ak/k. The increase in shutdown margin was required for the mitigation of the steam line break event to prevent post-trip return to criticality. The change to ITS 3.1.1 is being made to provide a consistent presentation with ITS 3.1.4, 3.1.5, and 3.2.1 as provided in NUREG-1430. The removal of the cycle-specific SDM limit from the ITS to the COLR is acceptable because SDM limits are developed under NRC-approved methodologies which ensure that the safety limits are met. These NRC-approved methodologies and associated SDM limit will continue to be adequately controlled in the COLR under the requirements provided in ITS 5.6.2.18, "CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR)." Additionally, the wording of LCO 3. 1.1 already requires SDM to be within the limits specified in the COLR. As such, the SDM value(s) specified in the COLR will continue at EPU conditions to ensure that the reactor is or would be subcritical from any plant condition in MODES 3., 4, and 5 assuming all control rods are fully inserted except for the single control rod of highest reactivity worth, which is assumed to be fully withdrawn.

However, these changes are being made consistent with a similar change to LCO 3.11 and NUREG-1430, which specifies the limits in the COLR. The SDM value(s) specified in the COLR will continue at EPU conditions to ensure that the reactor is or can be made subcritical from any plant condition in MODES I and 2 assuming all control rods are fully inserted except the single highest reactivity worth control rod is fully withdrawn. Consistent with the current ITS, the SDM value(s) specified in the COLR will continue to assume the fuel and moderator temperatures are changed to the post-trip Reactor Coolant System (RCS) average temperature.

However, without the high accuracy instrumentation, the secondary heat balance uncertainty is 2.0%, which is larger than the analysis assumptions; 1.6% larger uncertainty. As such, Required Action J.1 is modified to reduce THERMAL POWER 1.6% RTP (2965 MWt) to preserve EPU core power analysis assumption (112%

Revision 2 (March 2007).

3.0 BACKGROUND

CR-3 proposes to operate the reactor at 3014 MWt, an approximate 15.5% increase from the current authorized OL reactor core power level. CR-3 has defined this power increase as an EPU consistent with the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation's Review Standard (RS)-001, "Review Standard for Extended Power Uprates," Revision 0.

Florida Power Corporation (FPC) has evaluated the proposed EPU for the applicable systems, structures, components, and safety analyses at CR-3 in accordance with the guidance of RS-00 1.

The results of these evaluations are described in the CR-3 EPU TR (Attachments 5 and 7). The EPU TR provides the technical details that support the requested OL and ITS changes and, in concert with the other attachments, provide a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of the proposed EPU on CR-3 plant operation.

4.0 JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CHANGE The acceptability for each proposed OL and ITS change is addressed in Tables I and 2 in Section 2.0 above. Additional details and justification are provided below for the additional licensing basis items. The EPU TR summarizes the evaluations performed to assure acceptable unit operation at EPU conditions and is therefore referenced throughout this section as additional technical justification for the EPU related changes. Additional detail is also provided for the plant modifications in EPU TR Appendix E, "Major Plant Modifications."

4.1 ICCMS. ADVs and FCS CR-3 requests approval to credit the use the ICCMS and the FCS function of the ADVs to assure adequate core cooling during a SBLOCA at EPU conditions. The FCS is assumed in the SBLOCA analyses to open both ADVs to depressurize the secondary plant and ultimately the RCS which will allow ECCS to provide adequate core cooling in the event of a single failure of an HPI train as summarized in EPU TR Section 2.8.5.6.3, "ECCS and Loss of Coolant

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 22 of 35 Accidents," and TR Appendix E. A new ICCMS will provide instrumentation to automatically initiate the FCS and provide indication to ensure the ICCMS actions are performed.

The ICCMS will also automatically trip the RCPs and send a signal to the Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Control (EFIC) System which will raise OTSG secondary side level to the inadequate subcooling margin (ISCM) level to support certain spectrum of LOCAs as summarized in EPU TR Section 2.8.5.6.3. The automatic actions to trip the RCPs and adjust the EFIC System to the ISCM level setting replace the current actions performed by the operator, thus reducing the reliance on manual operator action for event mitigation.

The FCS function of the ADVs will assure that CR-3 is capable of mitigating the effects of a SBLOCA at EPU conditions. Preliminary analysis indicated that for the range of SBLOCA events, the HPI System flow, using single failure considerations, is not sufficient for core cooling in the early stages of all accident. Additionally, the initial pressure in the RCS remains too high for the CFTs to provide adequate flow to the core. Inadequate HPI System flow would result in elevated peak clad temperatures and oxidation levels prior to achieving RCS conditions where sufficient core cooling can be provided.

The FCS will automatically actuate safety-related ADVs to rapidly reduce secondary pressure in the Main Steam System which increases primary-to-secondary heat transfer thereby decreasing temperature and pressure in the RCS. The intent of this plant modification is to rapidly reduce the RCS pressure to below the CFT discharge pressure which would increase ECCS flow to the reactor vessel and maintain the fuel within limits. LOCA analyses at EPU conditions assume both HPI pumps with adequate flow or one HPI pump and two ADVs are available to ensure sufficient core cooling.

The FCS will initiate within 10 minutes of the onset of sustained loss of sub-cooling margin and inadequate HPI flow. By rapidly reducing and controlling the secondary pressure in the OTSG, the RCS pressure has been analytically demonstrated to decrease sufficiently to allow timely addition of CFT liquid and additional flow from the HPI System to begin injecting into the core.

The analysis performed for this event shows that the results are acceptable and all 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criteria are satisfied. Enclosure 2 of EPU TR Appendix E provides specific information related to the ADVs and FCS plant modification.

The ICCMS monitors specific parameters; HPI System flow, RCS pressure, and core exit thermocouples (CETs) to determine core degrees of subcooling and to determine if a loss of subcooling margin (SCM) exists. Additionally, the total HPI flow is compared to a generated curve of minimum HPI flow versus RCS pressure to determine inadequate HPI flow.

Following a sustained loss of SCM and inadequate HPI flow, ICCMS initiates FCS within 10 minutes which automatically opens both ADVs to ensure sufficient core cooling during a SBLOCA. Additionally, upon a sustained loss of SCM, the ICCMS will automatically trip the RCPs within one minute and within 10 minutes send a signal to the Emergency Feedwater

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 23 of 35 Initiation and Control (EFIC) System which will raise OTSG secondary side level to the ISCM level. These automatic actions replace the current actions performed by the operator, thus reducing the reliance on manual operator action for event mitigation. Enclosure 3 of EPU TR Appendix E provides specific information related to the ICCMS plant modification.

ITS 3.3.17, "Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Instrumentation," will be revised to include an additional instrument function (HPI Flow Margin) which, along with existing PAM instruments, will provide operators with indication necessary to ensure FCS initiates when required. The new ICCMS will provide redundant displays consistent with the criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.97.

The ICCMS computes HPI flow margin, degrees of subcooling, and will provide operators with a fully qualified, safety related method of monitoring these parameters and determining inadequate HPI flow and a loss of subcooling margin, thereby ensuring initiation of the FCS in a timely manner.

Refer to Attachment 4, "Improved Technical Specification Bases Changes (Markup)," for further basis information related to revisions to ITS 3.3.17.

ITS 3.3.19, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS) Instrumentation," and ITS 3.3.20, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS)," will be added to address the requirements related to the automatic initiation of FCS, RCP trip, and OTSG ISCM level setpoint adjustment.

Regarding proposed ITS 3.3.19 and ITS 3.3.20:

  • Applicability of the FCS instrument functions and logic is consistent with current licensed power level (2609 MWt) to support the FCS function of the ADVs. The Applicability is considered acceptable since with power at or below 2609 MWt, the ECCS can provide sufficient core cooling during a LOCA assuming a single failure of one HPI subsystem without the need for the FCS function of the ADVs.
  • Applicability of the RCP Trip and OTSG ISCM Level Setpoint Actuation instrument functions and logic is consistent with the Applicability of ITS 3.3.17. These automatic functions are intended to reduce the reliance on manual operator action and therefore, the Applicability is considered acceptable since it is equivalent to the Applicability of the current indication requirements necessary to perform these actions manually.
  • Appropriate ITS ACTIONS are provided to address inoperability the ICCMS instrumentation and logic. The proposed Required Actions and Completion Times are consistent with the current licensing basis ACTIONS, which rely on PAM instrumentation for credited manual operator actions for these same and similar functions.

ITS 3.3.17, which provide PAM instrument requirements needed to support current credited manual operator actions, will continue to require a plant shutdown if required PAM instrumentation is not available to perform these manual actions. Also, proposed ITS 3.3.17, which provides an additional PAM instrument requirement to support manual

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 24 of 35 actuation of FCS, will require a power reduction to a level where the FCS function of the ADVs is no longer required if the PAM instrument is not available to manually actuate the FCS.

o With one or more required channels or logic trains inoperable, the inoperable equipment must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. The 30 day Completion Time takes into account the provisions to support manual actuation of the FCS, RCP trip, and OTSG ISCM Setpoint adjustment. The 30 day Completion Time is also considered acceptable based on maintaining FCS actuation capability and the low probability of an event requiring the ICCMS during this time period.

o For the RCP Trip and OTSG ISCM Level Setpoint Actuation instrument functions and logic, if an associated channel or logic train is not restored to OPERABLE status within the allowed Completion Time, action must be initiated in accordance with Specification 5.7.2, "Special Reports," to submit a special report to the NRC within 14 days. The special report will discuss the preplanned alternate method of monitoring, the cause of the inoperability, and provide a schedule for restoring the ICCMS instruments and logic to OPERABLE status.

This proposed Required Action is considered acceptable since the CR-3 current licensing basis credits manual operator action for RCP trip and OTSG ISCM Setpoint adjustment. ITS 3.3.17, which provide PAM instrument requirements needed to support the current credited manual operator actions, will continue to require a plant shutdown if appropriate PAM instrumentation is not available to perform these manual actions.

o For the FCS Actuation instrument functions and logic, if an associated channel or logic is not restored to OPERABLE status within the allowed Completion Time or automatic FCS actuation capability is not maintained, the FCS function of the ADVs will be immediately declared inoperable and action taken in accordance with the requirements of ITS 3.7.20.

Appropriate SRs are provided to ensure the ICCMS instruments and logic trains are capable of performing their intended safety function. CHANNEL CHECK, CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST, and CHANNEL CALIBRATION tests are provided to verify the functionality of the ICCMS instrumentation and automatic actuation logic. Additional automatic actuation logic CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TESTS are added to verify RCP breaker actuation and OTSG ISCM level setpoint actuation every refueling interval since these end devices have no other Technical Specification testing requirements. ADV actuation testing is performed in accordance with surveillances specified in ITS 3.7.20.

Refer to Attachment 4, "Improved Technical Specification Bases Changes (Markup)," for further basis information related to proposed ITS 3.3.19 and ITS 3.3.20.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 25 of 35 ITS 3.7.20, "Fast Cooldown System (FCS)," will be added to address the requirements for the FCS function of the safety related ADVs.

Regarding proposed ITS 3.7.20:

" Applicability of proposed ITS 3.7.20 is consistent with current licensed power level (2609 MWt) to support the FCS function of the ADVs. The Applicability is considered acceptable since with power at or below 2609 MWt, the ECCS can provide sufficient core cooling during a LOCA assuming a single failure of one HPI subsystem without the need for the FCS function of the ADVs.

" Appropriate ITS ACTIONS are provided in ITS 3.7.20 to address inoperability of the FCS function of the ADVs and the impact on SBLOCA event mitigation.

o With the FCS inoperable due to inoperable backup air supply, 7 days is provided to restore the inoperable backup air supply to OPERABLE status. The 7 day Completion Time is consistent with Completion Times in NUREG-1430 for similar levels of system degradation and is acceptable based on multiple sources of air that can provide the ADVs.

o With the FCS function inoperable for reasons other than backup air supply, 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is provided to restore the FCS to OPERABLE status provided both HPI subsystems are OPERABLE.

" The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time is consistent with a single failure Completion Time of one ECCS train inoperable per ITS 3.5.2, "ECCS-Operating," and is considered a reasonable time to repair the inoperable FCS components.

" If either HPI subsystems is determined to be inoperable or the FCS is not restored with the required Completion Time, one hour is provided to reduce power to at or below 2609 MWt. The Required Action to reduce power to the pre-EPU license power level provides an appropriate compensatory measure since below this power the FCS is not required to mitigate a SBLOCA; one HPI train is capable of mitigating the SBLOCA.

The one hour Completion Time will ensure prompt action is taken to reduce power where FCS is no longer required for ECCS to perforn its function during a SBLOCA and is consistent with the one hour provided in LCO 3.0.3 for loss of safety function conditions.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 26 of 35 Appropriate SRs are provided to ensure the ADVs and FCS are capable of performing their intended safety function in the event of a SBLOCA. The periodic verification of the Backup Air System pressure and volume is added to ensure the ADVs can maintain at least four hours of operation. A CHANNEL CALIBRATION test is provided to verify the functionality of the FCS automatic actuation circuitry and calibration of the FCS OTSG modulating controller. Two SRs are added to verify the capability and capacity of the FCS backup battery system. An additional SR is added to verify that on actual or simulated actuation signal, the ADVs will open and cycle as required.

Refer to Attachment 4, "Improved Technical Specification Bases Changes (Markup)," for further basis information related to proposed ITS 3.7.20.

4.2 Boron Precipitation Mitigation CR-3 requests approval to credit the LPI System HLI line to prevent boron precipitation in the reactor vessel during design basis accidents at EPU conditions thereby eliminating the need for the current active boron precipitation mitigation methodologies required in the CR-3 OL.

Existing boron precipitation mitigation methodologies at CR-3 consist of two approved, active techniques that provide sufficient liquid movement through the reactor core to preclude boric acid from precipitating out of solution and potentially clogging flow passages in the fuel or settling on the fuel rods causing a decrease in heat transfer. The most likely occurrence of boron precipitation is during the recirculation phase of an accident when the level in the reactor vessel is below the top of the fuel and boiling is in process. The current licensing and design bases methodologies to preclude this condition are: the Dump-to-Sump of RCS fluid from the hot leg to the Reactor Building sump using the Decay Heat Removal (DHR) System drop line; and hot leg injection via the auxiliary pressurizer spray line. These methodologies allow for additional flow through the reactor core that would preclude the precipitation or plating out of the boron.

As stated in the Crystal River Unit 3 Issuance of Exemption from the Requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix K, Section I.D. I, dated October 29, 1998, the NRC acknowledged that the reactor vessel vent valves may not be effective in preventing boron precipitation for specific break locations. Due to specific vulnerabilities associated with these active methods, a single failure criterion exemption was granted to CR-3. Additionally, evaluation has shown that these methods cannot be expanded to provide sufficient flow at EPU conditions to adequately preclude boron precipitation.

The current exemption related to boron precipitation mitigation methods is associated with the active failure of a single Engineered Safeguards motor control center (MCC) that supplies electrical power to both active methods of preventing boron precipitation. At EPU conditions, prevention of boron precipitation during LOCAs will be accomplished through the use of the LPI System HLI line and CR-3 will no longer require the existing single failure criterion exemption.

Existing procedural guidance requires that the boron precipitation mitigation function occur after a certain boron concentration in the core is reached. The procedure directs that boron

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 27 of 35 concentration be sampled after the ECCS pump suction swap to the sump is complete and adequate core cooling is not occurring. The currently credited method of determining boron concentration is the Post Accident Sampling System Boronometer. Should the boronometer be unavailable, manual sampling and analysis is also credited.

The new HLI actuation will not be based on core boron concentration and precludes the need for continued use of the boronometer. CR-3 will discontinue reliance on the boronometer once use of the new HLI line is approved and implemented.

The new HLI line provides a flow path for boron precipitation control, thus assuring compliance with the long term core cooling acceptance criterion by providing a flow path to inject a portion of LPI System flow into the DHR System drop line. The HLI line is normally closed, but will be opened by the operators during the transition to the sump recirculation, which will be prior to the occurrence of significant boron concentration in the core. The HLI line is hydraulically designed to provide sufficient flow to prevent boron precipitation for the entire spectrum of LOCA break sizes. For large break LOCAs, the HLI flow exceeds the core boiloff shortly after its initiation.

The excess HLI flow that is not boiled off by the core decay heat dilutes the core boron concentration via reverse core flow prior to the core reaching concentrations that could precipitate. For SBLOCAs, the RCS pressure could be above the LPI pump shutoff head or in the range where the HLI flow does not match core boiloff. However, at these elevated RCS pressures, the solubility limit is above the maximum boron concentration that the core could achieve. The HLI flow will increase as RCS pressure decreases such that the flow matches the core boiloff rate and provide a boron dilution flow prior to reaching the solubility limit. The HLI line design meets the single failure criterion of CR-3 FSAR Criterion 1.4.38. Therefore, the existing single failure criterion exemption is no longer necessary and may be removed from the CR-3 license basis.

EPU TR Section 2.8.5.6.3 provides additional discussion related to boron precipitation mitigation. Enclosure I of the CR-3 EPU TR Appendix E provides specific information related to the LPI System cross-tie line modification, including the HLI line design.

ITS Section 3.4.13, "RCS PIV Leakage," will be revised to address the new series check valves in the HLI line used to provide pressure isolation between high and low pressure systems. These valves are smaller than the current PlVs required in LCO 3.4.13, and as such, the guidance in NUREG 1430 will be incorporated for the LCO and surveillance acceptance criteria related to leakage through the valves. Refer to Attachment 4, "Improved Technical Specification Bases Changes (Markup)," for further information related to proposed changes to ITS 3.4.13.

4.3 Core Flood Line Break Mitigation CR-3 requests approval to credit the use of the LPI System cross-tie line in the mitigation of a CFT line break accident.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 28 of 35 During a CFT line break accident coincident with a LOOP assuming one emergency diesel generator (EDG) fails to start, one ECCS train associated with the failed EDG will not be available for coolant injection. The remaining LPI subsystem, powered by the operating EDG, may be unavailable for coolant injection if aligned to the broken CFT line. As a consequence, only one HPI subsystem and one CFT will be available to provide ECCS flow into the RCS. At pre-EPU conditions, the intact CFT flow and HPI flow are adequate to meet the IOCFR50.46 acceptance criteria. However, at EPU conditions, the increased core decay heat power increases the core boil off rates, slowing the RCS depressurization rate and slightly reducing the ECCS flow. As a consequence, one HPI subsystem and the inventory of one CFT are not adequate to mitigate a CFT line break accident. The LPI System cross-tie line modification ensures the availability of some LPI flow for the larger CFT line breaks by providing a passive LPI crossflow path and the CFT line break analyses at EPU conditions continue to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 50.46. EPU TR Section 2.8.5.6.3 provides additional discussion related to CFT line break mitigation. Enclosure I of the CR-3 EPU TR Appendix E provides specific information related to the LPI System cross-tie line modification.

ITS Section 3.5.2, "Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) - Operating," and associated Bases will be revised to add ECCS OPERABILITY requirements associated with the LPI cross-tie line, including an SR to ensure the proper LPI cross-tie line valve lineup. Refer to Attachment 4, "Improved Technical Specification Bases Changes (Markup)," for further information related to proposed changes to ITS 3.5.2.

4.4 Credit Soluble Boron in Spent Fuel Pool CR-3 requests approval to credit the use of soluble boron in the spent fuel pool to preclude spent fuel pool criticality accidents as allowed by 10 CFR 50.68(b)(4).

At pre-EPU conditions, the spent fuel storage criticality analysis does not credit soluble boron when fuel assemblies are loaded in a specific pattern. The reactivity of the fuel racks alone is adequate to preserve the assumptions of the pre-EPU criticality analysis. However, at EPU conditions spent fuel storage criticality analyses rely on crediting sufficient boron concentrations.

EPU TR Section 2.8.6.2, "Spent Fuel Storage," provides additional discussion related to the impact on the spent fuel storage criticality analysis as a result of EPU.

ITS Section 3.7.14, "Spent Fuel Pool Boron Concentration," will be revised to be applicable whenever fuel assemblies are stored in the spent fuel pool and ITS 4.3.1, "Criticality," will be revised to reflect the keff criteria of 10 CFR 50.68(b)(4). Refer to Attachment 4, "Improved Technical Specification Bases Changes (Markup)," for further basis information related to proposed changes to ITS 3.7.14..

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 29 of 35 4.5 Revise RCS Pressure Acceptance Criterion for FWLB Accident CR-3 requests approval to of the RCS pressure acceptance criterion for the feedwater line break (FWLB) accident to be consistent with the criterion in SRP, Section 15.2.8, Revision 2.

The FWLB is considered a limiting fault event per the CR-3 FSAR, Section 14.2.2.9.2. The FSAR acceptance criteria for this limiting fault include an RCS pressure criterion of 110% of design pressure (2750 psig). For EPU conditions, CR-3 requests revising the FWLB accident acceptance criterion to reflect an RCS pressure limit of 120% of design pressure (3000 psig).

This is consistent with acceptance criteria specified in SRP, Section 15.2.8 for the FWLB event.

EPU TR Section 2.8.5.2.4, "Feedwater System Pipe Breaks Inside and Outside Containment,"

provides further discussion related to revising the FWLB accident RCS pressure acceptance criterion and the associated plant impact as a result of EPU.

4.6 Conclusion The CR-3 EPU has been evaluated for impact on the plant and the OL. With implementation of plant modifications described in the EPU TR, analyses demonstrate that the plant will maintain the capability for safe operation and the mitigation of postulated accident scenarios at EPU conditions. The proposed Technical Specification changes will assure that the plant and its SSC remain within acceptable limits at all times. Procedure changes and training will be implemented prior to plant startup under EPU conditions and will assure that plant personnel are capable of operating the plant and responding to abnormal or emergency conditions.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 30 of 35 5.0 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION Florida Power Corporation (FPC) has evaluated the proposed License Amendment Request (LAR) against the criteria of 10 CFR 50.92(c) to determine if any significant hazards consideration is involved. FPC has concluded that this proposed LAR does not involve a significant hazards consideration. The following is a discussion of how each of the 10 CFR 50.92(c) criteria is satisfied.

(1) Does not involve a significant increase in the probabilityor consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

The impacts of the proposed Extended Power Uprate (EPU) on plant systems, structures, and components (SSCs) were reviewed with respect to SSC design capability, and it was determined that following completion of plant changes to support the EPU, no SSC would exceed its design conditions or limits. Evaluations supporting those conclusions were performed and demonstrate that the equipment reliability and structural integrity will not be adversely affected by EPU. Control system studies demonstrated that plant response to operational transients tinder EPU conditions does not significantly increase reactor trip frequency, so there will be no significant increase in the frequency of SSC challenges caused by a reactor trip. The EPU does not create new failure modes for existing SSCs and eliminates the need for a single failure exemption currently in the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) licensing basis for boron precipitation mitigation. A new potential inter-system loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) mechanism is created by the installation of the HLI flow path, but the probability of an inter-system LOCA occurring has not significantly increased. Additionally, new pressure isolation valves installed in series between reactor coolant system (RCS) high and low pressure piping will minimize the likelihood of an inter-system LOCA. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requirements for procurement, installation, and testing of the new pressure isolation valves will be followed. Also, a new potential steam line break mechanism is created by the inadvertent opening of both Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADVs) simultaneously. A new Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS) and Fast Cooldown System (FCS) are being installed which will automatically open both ADVs to support a small break LOCA in the event of a single failure in the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS). Modifications to ADVs and procurement, installation, testing and operation of the ICCMS and FCS will ensure that the potential inadvertent opening of both ADVs is minimized. Also, any adverse consequences of inadvertent opening both ADVs are bounded by the consequences of the main steam line break accident.

The fission product barriers; fuel cladding, RCS pressure boundary, and the containment building, remain fully capable of performing their design functions. The spectrum of previously analyzed postulated accidents and transients was evaluated, and effects on the fuel, the RCS pressure boundary, and the containment were determined. Specific accident scenarios (small break LOCA, locked reactor coolant pump rotor, and rod

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment 1 3F0611-02 Page 31 of 35 ejection accident) have been determined to potentially cause cladding rupture under EPU conditions in limited amounts, but the quantity of the failures and the consequences are bounded by the large break LOCA analysis. The fuel remains within the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46, the RCS pressure will not increase for normal operation as a result of EPU, and accident conditions remain within the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code limits as well as SSC design limits. Analysis has also confirmed that during the worst case accident (large break LOCA), the containment building remains within its design limit. These analyses were performed and demonstrate that existing RCS pressure boundary and containment limits are met and the effects on the fuel are such that dose consequences meet existing criteria at EPU conditions.

With the exception of the steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident, the EPU analyses have been performed using conservative methodologies, as specified in Regulatory Guide 1.183, "Alternative Radiological Source Term for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors." The SGTR analyses were performed using current licensing basis methodologies. Safety margins have been evaluated and margin has been retained to ensure that the analyses adequately bound the postulated limiting event scenarios. These analyses indicate increased doses for certain analyzed accidents.

Various factors contribute to these increases. Several actions have been taken to limit the increased consequences. Modifications to the Low Pressure Injection (LPI) and ADV systems are being made to ensure that the consequences of previously evaluated accidents are not significantly increased. Specifically, these modifications will enhance the plant response capabilities to a small break LOCA and improve the method for boron precipitation mitigation. The proposed amendment reduces the maximum allowed RCS specific activity. The limits on specific activity ensure that the doses remain within the regulatory limits during analyzed transients and accidents. The maximum allowed operating containment pressure is being reduced from 3.0 psig to 1.5 psig; thereby ensuring that maximum peak containment internal pressure does not exceed limits in the event of a design basis accident.

The revised accident analyses demonstrate that the plant site and the dose-mitigating Engineered Safety Features remain acceptable with respect to the radiological consequences of postulated DBAs since the calculated total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) at the exclusion area boundary (EAB), at the low population zone (LPZ) outer boundary, and in the control room meet the exposure guideline values specified in 10 CFR Part 50.67 "Alternative source term,". Therefore, the consequences of analyzed accidents are not significantly impacted by the proposed EPU.

Based on the above, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 32 of 35 (2) Does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accidentfrom any accident previously evaluated?

Equipment that could be affected by EPU has been evaluated. No new operating mode, or accident scenario was identified. The LPI, HLI, and ADV systems will be modified and an ICCMS and FCS will be installed to better respond to accident and non-accident conditions. The full spectrum of accident considerations has been evaluated and no new or different kind of accident has been identified. The limiting accident remains the large break LOCA and analysis results are acceptable under EPU conditions. EPU uses developed technology and applies it within capabilities of existing or modified plant safety-related equipment in accordance with the regulatory criteria (including NRC approved codes, standards and methods). Modifications to existing SSCs and installation of new SSCs are designed in accordance with regulatory criteria to minimize equipment failures. Potential equipment failures of new or modified SSCs have been evaluated and postulated failures are equivalent or bounded by existing equipment failures or effects of these equipment failures are bounded by previously evaluated accidents. No new accidents or event precursors have been identified.

The Technical Specification (TS) revisions required to implement EPU continue to assure that the plant is operated within the limits established for safe operation of the plant.

Additionally, the limits in the TS reflect the initial conditions for the safety analyses performed to demonstrate the plant can mitigate the effects of accidents and ensure public safety by maintaining offsite doses within the limits in 10 CFR 50.67. The revisions have been assessed and it was determined that the proposed change will not introduce a different accident than that previously evaluated.

Based on the above, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

(3) Does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Structural evaluations performed at EPU conditions demonstrated that calculated loads on affected SSCs after modification, if necessary, remain within their design allowable for all design basis event categories. ASME Code requirements continue to be met.

Fuel performance evaluations were performed using parameter values appropriate for a reload core operating at EPU conditions. Those evaluations demonstrate that fuel performance acceptance criteria continue to be met. Core reload evaluation processes ensure that the planned fuel load in the first reactor core to be operated at the increased power level, will meet applicable regulatory criteria.

LOCA and non-LOCA safety analyses were performed under EPU conditions. ECCS performance was shown to meet the criteria of 10 CFR 50.46. Small break LOCA, locked rotor, and rod ejection scenarios may, under EPU conditions, have some potential

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 33 of 35 of resulting in a limited amount of fuel cladding failure, but the analyses conclude that the plant remains within the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46. Large break LOCA scenarios also satisfy the criteria of 10 CFR 50.46 under EPU conditions, and the large break LOCA remains the most limiting accident at EPU conditions. LOCA analyses indicate a small reduction in margin (< 5%) related to maximum local clad oxidation and hydrogen generation at EPU conditions and a slight improvement in peak clad temperature margin based on minor changes in LOCA design inputs and modifications that will enhance the plant response capabilities to LOCAs and improve the method for boron precipitation mitigation. The non-LOCA events identified in the CR-3 Final Safety Analysis Report were shown to meet existing acceptance criteria.

The containment building response to mass and energy releases was evaluated under EPU conditions. The evaluations indicated that temperature and pressure limits were met.

No plant changes associated with the EPU reduce the degree of component or system redundancy. The small break LOCA response will require two High Pressure Injection (HPI) pumps injecting. In the event of inadequate HPI and loss sub-cooling margin (SCM), secondary depressurization will be achieved via a new ICCMS and FCS, which includes automatic actuation of the ADVs, thereby assuring that the reactor core receives the necessary ECCS flow to minimize core damage and satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46. The features required to automatically open ADVs during a small break LOCA are incorporated into proposed TS 3.3.19, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS) Instrumentation," and TS 3.3.20, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS)," and TS 3.7.20, "Fast Cooldown System (FCS)." The ICCMS and FCS are configured and supported such that a single failure will not prevent completion of the ECCS safety function.

To support this enhancement, operators will be provided indication of subcooling margin and HPI System flow adequacy to ensure actuation of the FCS. A new safety related display system will be available to determine when insufficient subcooling margin is available and HPI System flow is inadequate. Additional modifications will, upon indication of loss of subcooling margin, automatically trip the RCPs and raise steam generator secondary side level to the inadequate subcooling margin level. These automatic actions replace the current actions performed by the operator, thus reducing the reliance on manual operator action for event mitigation.

Operator training programs will be revised in accordance with the industry standard systematic approach to training process and appropriate training will be provided on all plant modifications, administrative/technical requirement changes, Technical Specification revisions, and procedure revisions. The CR-3 simulator will be updated and tested in sufficient time to provide effective reinforcement of procedure and plant physical changes as well as build proficiency with required manual operator actions.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment 1 3F061 1-02 Page 34 of 35 Based on the above, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, CR-3 concludes that the proposed LAR presents a 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.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION The environmental considerations evaluation is contained in Attachment 9, "Supplemental Environmental Report Extended Power Uprate." It concludes that the EPU will not result in a significant change in non-radiological impacts on land use, water use, waste discharges, terrestrial and aquatic biota, transmission facilities, or social and economic factors, and will have no non-radiological impacts other than those evaluated in the Supplemental Environmental Report. The Supplemental Environmental Report further concludes that the EPU will not introduce any new radiological release pathways, will not result in a significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposures, and will not result in significant additional fuel cycle environmental impacts.

Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite nor does it involve a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

7.0 APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS/CRITERIA The proposed changes have been evaluated to determine whether applicable regulations and requirements continue to be met.

CR-3 has determined that the proposed changes do not require any exemptions or relief from regulatory requirements and do not adversely affect conformance with any regulatory requirements differently than described in the CR-3 Final Safety Analysis Report. The exemption to 10 CFR 50 Appendix K, Item I.D.1, requirements for single failure considerations is being deleted due to a modification to the plant that will adequately provide the boron precipitation mitigation function and is designed to remain functional even with a single failure condition.

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attachment I 3F0611-02 Page 35 of 35 This LAR will not reduce the effectiveness of the safety related systems, structures, or components and will not require the plant to operate outside of analyzed limits. Therefore, 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) Issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 DOCKET NUMBER 50-302/LICENSE NUMBER DPR-72 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST #309, REVISION 0 ATTACHMENT 4 IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES CHANGES (MARKUP) - FOR INFORMATION ONLY

Reactor Core SLs B 2.1.1 BASES APPLICABLE The RPS setpoints (Ref. 2), in combination with the DNB SAFETY ANALYSES operating limits LCO (LCO 3.4.1), are designed to prevent any anticipated combination of transient conditions for Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature, pressure, and THERMAL POWER level that would result in a departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) of less than the DNBR limit and preclude the existence of flow instabilities.

Automatic enforcement of these reactor core SLs is provided by the following:

a. RCS High Pressure trip;
b. RCS Low Pressure trip;
c. Nuclear Overpower trip;
d. RCS Variable Low Pressure trip; (RCPPM)
e. Reactor Coolant Pump to Power rip; and
f. Nuclear Overpower RCS Flow and AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE trip.

Measured The SL represents a design requirement for establishing the RPS trip setpoints identified previously.

Safety Limits that preclude fuel cladding failure are required to be included in the Technical Specifications pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36 (Ref. 5).

SAFETY LIMITS SL 2.1.1.1, SL 2.1.1.2, and SL 2.1.1.3 ensure that the minimum DNBR is not less than the safety analyses limit and that fuel centerline temperature stays below the melting point, or the average enthalpy in the hot leg is less than or equal to the enthalpy of saturated liquid, or the exit quality is within the limits defined by the DNBR correlation. In addition, SL 2.1.1.3 addresses the pressure/temperature operating region that keeps the reactor from reaching an SL when operating up to design power.

(continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 2.0-3 Revision No. 34

Reactor Core SLs B 2.1.1 BASES (continued)

SAFETY LIMITS Examination of the limit curve in Figure 2.1.1-1 reveals that the temperatures corresponding to the pressures vary between 20 and J-O°F below the saturation temperature of the 2 coolant at thai~pressure, thus ensuring an even greater margin to DNB.

The fuel centerline melt and DNBR SLs are not directly monitorable by installed plant instrumentation. Instead, the SLs are preserved by monitoring the process variable AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE to ensure that the core operates within the fuel design criteria. With AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE within the protective limits, fuel centerline temperature and DNBR are also within limits. AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE protective limits are provided in the COLR.

The AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE protective limits are preserved by their corresponding RPS setpoints in LCO 3.3.1, "Reactor Protection System (RPS) Instrumentation," as specified in the COLR. The trip setpoints are derived by adjusting the measurement system independent AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE protective limit given in the COLR to allow for measurement system observability (the fact there are a finite number of detectors) and instrumentation errors. The AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE protective limits are separate and distinct from the AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE operating limits defined by LCO 3.2.3, "AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE Operating Limits." The AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE operating limits in LCO 3.2.3, also specified in the COLR, preserve initial conditions of the safety analyses but are not reactor core SLs.

RCS pressure, temperature and flow DNB operating limits are defined by LCO 3.4.1.

APPLICABILITY SL 2.1.1.1, SL 2.1.1.2, and SL 2.1.1.3 only apply in MODES 1 and 2 because these are the only MODES in which the reactor is critical. Automatic protection functions are required to be OPERABLE during MODES 1 and 2 to ensure operation within the reactor core SLs. The automatic protection actions serve to prevent RCS heatup to reactor core SL conditions by initiating a reactor trip which forces the plant into MODE 3. Setpoints for the reactor trip functions are specified in LCO 3.3.1.

Crystal River Unit 3 B 2.0-4 Revision No. 34

SDM B 3.1.1 BASES (continued)

APPLICABLE The minimum required SDM is assumed as an initial condition SAFETY ANALYSES in safety analysis. The safety analysis (Ref. 2) establishes an SDM that ensures specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded for normal operation and AOOs, with assumption of the highest worth rod stuck out following a reactor trip.

The acceptance criteria for SDM requirements are established to ensure specified acceptable fuel design limits are maintained. The SDM requirements must ensure that:

a. The reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, transients, and Design Basis Events;
b. The reactivity transients associated ith postulated accident conditions are controllableNw-th acceptable limits (departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR),

limi fuel centerline temperature limits for AO0s, and

  • 280-ea-l-ýgm fuel-ent,-py for the rod ejection accident); and
c. The reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.

The most limiting accident for the SDM requirements is based on an MSLB, as described in the accident analysis (Ref. 2).

In addition to the limiting MSLB transient, the SDM requirement was an initial condition assumption in the analysis of the following:

a. Inadvertent boron dilution;
b. An uncontrolled rod withdrawal from a subcritical or low power condition;
c. Rod ejection; and
d. Return to criticality if an MSLB occurs during high steam generator level operations in MODE 3, 4, or 5.

To compensate for the potential heat removal associated with an MSLB accident when high steam generator levels exist (continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3. 1-2 Amendment No. 149

SDM B 3.1.1 BASES APPLICABLE during secondary system chemistry control and steam SAFETY ANALYSIS generator cleaning, the initial SDM in the core must be (continued) adjusted. The basis for the SDM shutdown requirement when high steam generator levels exist is the heat removal potential in the secondary system fluid and the negative reactivity added via MTC. At any given initial primary system temperature and its associated secondary system pressure, the secondary system liquid levels can be equated to a final primary system temperature assuming the entire mass is boiled. The resulting RCS temperature determines the required SDM.

SDM satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO SDM requirements assume the highest worth rod is stuck in the fully withdrawn position to account for a postulated untrippable rod prior to reactor shutdown.

A figure in the COLR, or boration of the RCS to SDM requirements for 73°F is used to define the SDM when high steam generator levels exist during secondary system chemistry control and steam generator cleaning in MODES 3, 4, and 5. This represents a series of initial conditions that ensure the core will remain subcritical following an MSLB accident initiated from those conditions.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 3, 4, and 5, the SDM requirements ensure sufficient negative reactivity to meet the assumptions of the safety analysis discussed above. In MODES 1 and 2, SDM is ensured by complying with LCO 3.1.5 and LCO 3.2.1. In MODE 6, the shutdown reactivity requirements are given in LCO 3.9.1, "Boron Concentration."

ACTIONS A.1 If the SDM requirements are not met, boration must be initiated promptly. A Completion Time of 15 minutes is adequate for an operator to correctly align and start the required systems and components. It is assumed that boration to restore SDM will be continued until the SDM requirements are met. If the SDM is less than the limit (continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.1-3 Revision No. 22

SDM B 3.1.1 BASES ACTIONS A.1 (continued) for the steam generator level and RCS temperature specified in the COLR &F-4% A 4/0(, RCS boration must be continued until the applicable limit is met.

In the determination of the required combination of boration flow rate and boron concentration, there is no unique requirement that must be satisfied. Since it is imperative to raise the boron concentration of the RCS as soon as possible, the boron concentration should be a highly concentrated solution, such as that normally found in the boric acid storage tank or the borated water storage tank.

The operator should borate with the best source available given the existing plant conditions.

In determining the boration flow rate, the time in core life must be considered. For instance, the most difficult time in core life to increase the RCS boron concentration is at the beginning of cY cle, when the boron concentration may approach or excee -OOO ppm. For example, pumping a boric acid solution with 11,600 ppm boron at 10 gpm will result in 180 the addition of 1% A k/k negative reactivity in approximately1-2-O minutes at typical BOC conditions.

Slightly shorter times can be achieved when the same negative reactivity addition is made later in the fuel cycle when the initial RCS boron concentration is lower. Other flowrates and boric acid supply concentrations can be used to provide equivalent results.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.1.1.1 REQUIREMENTS The SDM is verified by performing a reactivity balance calculation, considering the following reactivity effects:

a. RCS boron concentration;
b. Regulating rod position;
c. RCS average temperature;
d. Fuel burnup based on gross thermal energy generation;
e. Xenon concentration; and
f. Samarium concentration.

(continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.1-4 Revision No. 17

MTC B 3.1.3 BASES APPLICABLE MTC values are bounded in reload safety evaluations, SAFETY ANALYSES assuming steady state conditions at BOC and EOC. A near EOC (continued) measurement is conducted at conditions when the RCS boron concentration reaches approximately 300 ppm. The measured value is extrapolated to project the EOC value, or the Surveillance repeated, in order to confirm reload design predictions.

MTC satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO LCO 3.1.3 requires the MTC to be within specified limits in the COLR to ensure the core operates within the assumptions of the accident analysis. During the reload core safety evaluation, the MTC is analyzed to determine that its values remain within the bounds of the original accident analysis during operation. The LCO establishes a maximumvp ositive +.

value that can not be exceeded. The limit of +O1-9E-4 Ak/k/°F on positive MTC, when THERMAL POWER is < 95% RTP, ensures that core overheating accidents will not violate the accident analysis assumptions. The requirement for a negative MTC, when THERMAL POWER is Ž 95% RTP, ensures that steady state core operation will be stable at higher power levels. The negative MTC limit for EOC specified in the COLR ensures that core overcooling accidents will not violate the accident analysis assumptions.

MTC is a core physics parameter determined by the fuel and fuel cycle design and cannot be easily controlled once the core design is fixed during operation. Therefore, the LCO can only be ensured through measurement. The BOC and EOC surveillance checks on MTC provide confirmation that the MTC is behaving as anticipated, and the acceptance criteria of the reload safety analysis are met.

APPLICABILITY In MODE 1, the limits on MTC must be maintained to ensure that any accident initiated from THERMAL POWER operation will not violate the design assumptions of the accident analysis. In MODE 2, the limits must also be maintained to ensure that startup and subcritical accidents, such as the uncontrolled CONTROL ROD assembly or group withdrawal, will not violate the assumptions of the accident analysis. In MODES 3, 4, 5, and 6, this LCO is not applicable, since no Design Basis Accidents (DBAs) using the MTC as an analysis (continued)

CONTROL ROD Group Alignment Limits B 3.1.4 BASES APPLICABILITY in the boron concentration of the RCS. See LCO 3.1.1, (continued) "SHUTDOWN MARGIN (SDM)," for SDM in MODES 3, 4, and 5, and LCO 3.9.1, "Boron Concentration," which ensures SDM during refueling.

ACTIONS A.1 Alignment of the inoperable or misaligned CONTROL ROD may be accomplished by either moving the single CONTROL ROD to the group, or by moving the remainder of the group to the position of the single inoperable or misaligned CONTROL ROD.

Either action can be used to restore the CONTROL RODS to a radially symmetric pattern. However, this must be done without violating the CONTROL ROD group sequence, overlap, and insertion limits of LCO 3.2.1, "Regulating Rod Insertion Limits," given in the COLR. This may necessitate THERMAL POWER must also be reduced, to maintain compliance with the insertion limits of LCO 3.2.1. The Completion Time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> is acceptable because local xenon redistribution during this short interval will not cause a significant increase in LHR. Moving the remainder of the group to meet Required Action A.1 is not allowed if a safety rod is misaligned, since the limits of LCO 3.1.5, "Safety Rod Insertion Limits," would be violated.

A.2.1.1 and A.2.1.2 If realignment of the CONTROL ROD to the group average or alignment of the group to the misaligned CONTROL ROD cannot be completed within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, SDM must be evaluated.

not within the limits specified If SDM i <--% A k/k-, RCS boration must occur as described intheCOLR, in the Bases for Specification 3.1.1. Increasing the RCS boron concentration will restore SDM to within limit and is necessary since the CONTROL ROD may remain misaligned and not be providing its normal negative reactivity on tripping.

The Completion Time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to initiate boration is reasonable, based on the time required for potential xenon redistribution, the low probability of an accident occurring, and the steps required to complete the action.

This allows the operator sufficient time for aligning the chosen boration source injection. Boration will continue until the required SDM is restored.

The evaluation must determine the ejected rod worth for the remainder of the fuel cycle to ensure a valid evaluation.

Should fuel cycle conditions at some later time become more bounding than those at the time of the rod misalignment this verification should be reviewed to ensure its continued validity. The Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is acceptable because LHRs are limited by the THERMAL POWER reduction and sufficient time is provided to perform the required evaluation.

Performance of SR 3.2.5.1 provides a determination of the power peaking factors using the Incore Detector System.

Verification of FQ(Z) and FN from an incore power AH distribution map ensures that excessive local LHRs will not occur due to CONTROL ROD misalignment. This is necessary because the assumption that all CONTROL RODS are aligned (used to determine the regulating rod insertion, AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE, and QPT limits and bound power peaking limits) is not valid when the CONTROL RODS are not aligned. The Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is acceptable because LHRs are limited by the THERMAL POWER reduction.

With the Required Action and associated Completion Time for Condition A not met, the plant must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be placed in at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.

C.1.1, C.1.2, and C.2 More than one trippable CONTROL ROD inoperable or not aligned within 6.5% of their group average position, or both, may potentially violate the minimum SDM requirement.

Therefore, SDM must be evaluated. Ensuring the SDM meets the minimum requirement within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> allows the operator notwithinthe adequate time to determine the SDM.

The Completion Time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> for initiating boration is reasonable, based on the time required for potential xenon redistribution, the low probability of an accident occurring, and the steps required to complete the action. This allows the operator sufficient time for aligning the chosen boration source and beginning injection. Boration will continue until the required SDM is restored.

Continued operation of the reactor in this condition may cause the misalignment to increase, as the regulating rods insert or withdraw to control reactivity. If the CONTROL ROD misalignment increases, local power peaking may also increase, and local LHRs will also increase if the reactor continues operation at THERMAL POWER. The SDM is decreased when one or more CONTROL RODS become inoperable at a given THERMAL POWER level, or if one or more CONTROL RODS become misaligned by insertion from the group average position.

Therefore, it is prudent to place the reactor in MODE 3.

The allowed Completion Time of 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> is reasonable, based on operating experience, for reaching MODE 3 from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

Therefore, surveillance of FQ(Z), FN , and SDM specified within the in the limits AH COLR. is required to verify that their limits are not exceeded.

The limits for the nuclear hot channel factors are specified in the COLR. Refer to the Bases for LCO 3.2.5 for a complete discussion of FQ(Z) and FN

  • During PHYSICS TESTS, AH one or more of the LCOs that normally preserve the FQ(Z) and FNAH limits may be suspended. However, the results of the safety analysis are not adversely impacted if verification that FQ(Z) and FN are within their limits is obtained, AH while one or more of the LCOs is suspended. Therefore, SRs are placed on FQ(Z) and FNA*H during MODE 1 PHYSICS TESTS to verify that these factors remain within their limits.

Periodic verification of these factors allows PHYSICS TESTS to be conducted while continuing to maintain the design criteria.

PHYSICS TESTS include measurement of core nuclear parameters and exercise of control components that affect process variables. Among the process variables involved are AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE and QPT, which represent initial condition input (power peaking) for the accident analysis. Also involved are the movable control components, i.e., the regulating rods and the APSRs, which affect power peaking and shutdown of the reactor. The limits for these variables are specified for each fuel cycle in the COLR.

Regulating Rod Insertion Limits B 3.2.1 BASES BACKGROUND LCO 3.2.1, "Regulating Rod Insertion Limits," LCO 3.2.2, (continued) "AXIAL POWER SHAPING ROD (APSR) Insertion Limits,"

LCO 3.2.3, "AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE Operating Limits," and LCO 3.2.4, "QUADRANT POWER TILT (QPT)," provide limits on control component operation and on monitored process variables to ensure that the core operates within the F,(Z) and FN limits in the COLR. Operation within the F,(Z)

AH limits given in the COLR prevents power peaks that would exceed the loss of coolant accident (LOCA) limits derived from the analysis of the Emergency Core Cool ing Systems (ECCS). Operation within the FN limits given in the COLR AH prevents departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) during a loss of forced reactor coolant flow accident. In addition to the F0 (Z) and F N limits, certain reactivity limits are met by AH regulating rod insertion limits. The regulating rod insertion limits also restrict the ejected CONTROL ROD worth to the values assumed in the safety analysis and maintain the minimum required SDM in MODES 1 and 2.

This LCO is required to minimize fuel cladding failures that breach the primary fission product barrier and release fission products into the reactor coolant in the event of a LOCA, loss of flow accident, ejected rod accident, or other postulated accidents requiring termination by a Reactor Protection System trip function.

APPLICABLE The fuel cladding must not sustain damage as a result of SAFETY ANALYSES normal operation (Condition I) or anticipated operational occurrences (Condition II). The LCOs governing regulating rod insertion, APSR position, AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE, and QPT preclude core power distributions that violate the following fuel design criteria:

a. During a large break LOCA, the peak cladding temperature must not exceed 2200'F (Ref. 2);
b. During a loss of forced reactor coolant flow accident, there must be at least 95% probability at the 95%

APSR Insertion Limits B 3.2.2 BASES APPLICABLE The fuel cladding must not sustain damage as a result of SAFETY ANALYSES normal operation (Condition I) or anticipated operational occurrences (Condition II). Acceptance criteria for the safety and regulating rod insertion, APSR position, AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE, and QPT LCOs preclude core power distributions that violate the following fuel design criteria:

a. During a large break LOCA, the peak cladding temperature must not exceed 2200'F (Ref. 2);
b. During a loss of forced reactor coolant flow accident, there must be at least 95% probability at the 95%

exceeded.

Fuel cladding damage does not occur when the core is operated outside these LCOs during normal operation.

However, fuel cladding damage could result should an accident occur simultaneously with violation of one or more of these LCOs. This potential for fuel cladding damage exists because changes in the power distribution can cause increased power peaking and corresponding increased local linear heat rates.

Operation at the APSR insertion limits may approach the maximum allowable linear heat generation rate or peaking factor with the allowed QPT present.

The APSR insertion limits satisfy Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO The limits on APSR physical insertion as defined in the COLR must be maintained because they serve the function of controlling the power distribution within an acceptable range.

Measurement system-independent limits for APSR insertion are provided in the COLR. Measurement system-dependent maximum allowable setpoints are derived by adjustment of the measurement system-independent limits to allow for THERMAL POWER level uncertainty and rod position errors.

SAFETY ANALYSES, LCO, and conditions necessary for DNB. The RCS Low Pressure APPLICABILITY setpoint Allowable Value is selected to ensure that a reactor trip occurs before RCS pressure is reduced below the lowest point at which the RCS Variable Low Pressure trip is analyzed. The RCS Low Pressure trip provides protection for Primary system depressurization events and is credited in the accident analysis calculations for small break loss of coolant accidents (SBLOCAs). Consequently, harsh RB conditions created as a result of SBLOCAs can potentially affect performance of the RCS pressure sensors and transmitters. Therefore, degraded environmental conditions are considered in the Allowable Value determination.

5. RCS Variable Low Pressure The RCS Variable Low Pressure trip, in conjunction with the RCS High Outlet Temperature and RCS Low Pressure trips, provide protection for the DNBR SL.

The Allowable Value is selected such that a trip is initiated whenever RCS pressure and temperature approach the conditions necessary for DNB. The RCS Variable Low Pressure trip provides a varying low pressure trip based on the RCS High Outlet Temperature within the range specified by the RCS High Outlet Temperature and RCS Low Pressure trips.

1.1 If the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A or B are not met and Table 3.3.1-1 directs entry into Condition I, the plant must be placed in a MODE in which the specified RPS trip Function is not required to be OPERABLE.

3014 J.1 and 3.2 If the required high accuracy secondary heat balan e instrumentation is not available, neither the Nuc ear Overpower - High Setpoint Allowable Value of 104 % RTP in Table 3.3.1-1, nor a nominal power level of 2-6G0 MWt will support extended operation. The Nuclear Overpower - High Setpoint and the appropriate reactor power ensure actuation of the RPS prior to the power level assumed in the accident analysis. Therefore, Condition J must be entered.

8. Nuclear Overpower RCS Flow and Measured AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE.

Functions 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 may be bypassed in MODE 2 or below (higher numerical MODE) when RCS pressure is below 1820 psig, provided the Shutdown Bypass RCS High Pressure and the Nuclear Overpower-Low setpoint trip are placed in operation. Under these conditions, the Shutdown Bypass RCS High Pressure trip and the Nuclear Overpower-Low setpoint trip prevent conditions from reaching a point where actuation of these Functions is necessary.

Two other Functions are required to be OPERABLE during portions of MODE 1. These are the Main Turbine Trip (Control Oil Pressure) and the Loss of Main Feedwater Pumps Reference 5 (Control Oil Pressure) trip. These Functions are required to be OPERABLE above \5% RTP and 20% RTP, respectively.

Analyses presented in AW-e1893-- showed that for operation below these power levels, these trips are not necessary to minimize challenges to the PORVs as required by NUREG-0737 (Ref. 4).

Because the only safety function of the RPS is to interrupt power to the CONTROL RODS, the RPS is not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 3, 4, or 5 if the reactor trip breakers are open, or the CRDCS is incapable of rod withdrawal.

Similarly, the RPS is not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 6 when the CONTROL RODS are decoupled from the CRDs. However, in MODE 2, 3, 4, or 5, the Shutdown Bypass RCS High Pressure and Nuclear Overpower-Low Setpoint trip Functions are required to be OPERABLE if the CRD trip breakers are closed and the CRDCS is capable of rod withdrawal. Under these conditions, the Shutdown Bypass RCS High Pressure and Nuclear Overpower-Low setpoint trips are sufficient to prevent an approach to conditions that could challenge SLs.

REQUIREMENTS 2% is consistent with the value assumed in the safety analyses of FSAR, Chapter 14 (Ref. 2) accidents. These checks and, if necessary, the adjustment of the power range channels ensure that channel accuracy is maintained within the error margins assumed in the analysis. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Frequency is adequate, based on plant operating experience, which demonstrates the change in the difference between the power range indication and the calorimetric results rarely exceeds a small fraction of 2% in any 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period.

Furthermore, the control room operators monitor redundant indications and alarms to detect deviations in channel outputs.

Operation at CO9 MWt (100% RTP) requires that this surveillance be performed with the required high accuracy secondary heat balance instrumentation (0.4% accuracy). If the required high accuracy secondary heat balance instrumentation is unavailable, this surveillance must be performed using alternative heat balance instrumentation (2.0% accuracy) at 2S68 MWt.

SR 3.3.1.3 A comparison of power range nuclear instrumentation channels (excores) against incore detectors shall be performed at a 31 day Frequency when reactor power is > 30% RTP.

If the absolute difference between the power range and incore measurements is > 2.5% RTP, the trip Functions which receive an input from the NI are not considered inoperable, but a CHANNEL CALIBRATION that adjusts the measured imbalance to agree with the incore measurements is necessary. If the power range channel cannot be properly recalibrated, the channel is declared inoperable. The calculation of the Allowable Value envelope assumes a difference in out of core to incore measurements of 2.5%. Additional inaccuracies beyond those that are measured are also included in the setpoint envelope calculation. The 31 day Frequency is adequate, considering that long term drift of the excore linear amplifiers is small and depletion of the detectors is slow. Also, the excore readings are a strong function of the power produced in the peripheral fuel bundles, and do not represent an integrated reading across the core. The slow changes in neutron flux during the fuel cycle can also be detected at this interval.

REQUIREMENTS A Note to the Surveillance indicates that neutron detectors and RCPPM current and voltage sensors are excluded from CHANNEL CALIBRATION. In the case of the neutron detectors, this Note is necessary because of the difficulty in generating an appropriate detector input signal. Excluding the detectors is acceptable because the principles of detector operation ensure a virtually instantaneous response. RCPPM current and voltage sensors are excluded due to the fact no adjustments can be made to these sensors.

SR 3.3.1.7 This SR verifies individual channel actuation response times are less than or equal to the maximum values assumed in the accident analysis. Individual component response times are not modeled in the analyses. The analyses model the overall, or total, elapsed time from the point at which the parameter exceeds the analytical limit at the sensor to the point of rod insertion. Response time testing acceptance criteria are included in Reference 1.

A Note to the Surveillance indicates that neutron detectors and RCPPM current and voltage sensors and the watt transducer are excluded from RPS RESPONSE TIME testing. This Note is necessary because of the difficulty in generating an appropriate detector input signal. Excluding the detectors is acceptable because the principles of detector operation ensure a virtually instantaneous response.

Response time tests are conducted on an 24 month STAGGERED TEST BASIS. This results in testing all four RPS channels every 96 months. The 96 month Frequency is based on operating experience, which shows that random failures of instrumentation components causing serious response time degradation, but not channel failure, are infrequent occurrences.

Manual actuation of HPI may be relied upon whenever ESAS signal are bypassed during heatup or cooldown, or when in Mode 4.

Low Pressure Injection The ESAS actuation of LPI has been assumed for large break LOCAs.

Manual actuation of HPI may be relied upon whenever ESAS signal are bypassed during heatup or cooldown, or when in Mode 4.

Reactor Building Spray, Reactor Building Cooling, and Reactor Building Isolation ESAS actuation of the RB coolers and RB Spray is credited in RB analysis for LOCAs, both for RB performance and equipment environmental qualification pressure and temperature Specifically for the LOCA envelope definition. Accident dose calculations credit RB dose analysis, the mini-purge Isolation and RB Spray*. 1 valves are assumed to close Emergency Diesel Generator Start within 5 seconds.

The ESAS initiated EDG Start has been assumed in the LOCA analysis to ensure that emergency power is available throughout the limiting LOCA scenarios.

The large break LOCA analyses assume a conservative 35 second delay time for the actuation of LPI in FSAR, Chapter 6, (Ref. 3). The small break LOCA analyses assume a conservative 67 second delay time for the actuation of HPI.

LCO The LCO requires the specified ESAS instrumentation for each Parameter in Table 3.3.5-1 to be OPERABLE. Failure of any instrument renders the affected channel inoperable and reduces the margin to meeting the single failure criteria for the affected Functions.

Three channels of RCS Pressure ESAS instrumentation and two channels of ESAS RB pressure instrumentation in each actuation train shall be OPERABLE to ensure that a single failure in one channel will not result in loss of the ability to automatically actuate the required safety function.

The bases for the LCO on ESAS Parameters include the following.

Reactor Coolant System Pressure Three channels each of RCS Pressure-Low and RCS Pressure-Low-Low are required to be OPERABLE. Each channel includes a sensor, trip bistable, bypass bistable, bypass relays, and bistable trip auxiliary relays. In addition, each RCS Pressure-Low channel also includes time delay auxiliary relays. The analog portion of each pressure channel is common to both trains of both RCS Pressure Parameters. Therefore, failure of one analog channel renders one channel of the low pressure and low low pressure Functions in each train inoperable. The bistable portions of the channels are Function and train specific.

ACTIONS A.1 With one channel of the source range neutron flux indication inoperable, any action to increase reactor power must be suspended until the channel is restored to OPERABLE status.

This Action restricts THERMAL POWER increases in a range of operation where the source range instrumentation are the primary means of neutron power level indication.

Furthermore, it ensures that power remains below the point where the intermediate range channels come on-scale until both source range channels are available to support the overlap verification required by SR 3.3.9.3. This ensures a transition from one monitoring instrument to another of different range with the reactivity conditions on both sides of the core known.

B.1, B.2, B.3, and B.4 With both source range neutron flux channels inoperable, action is required to preclude increases in neutron count rate requiring source range monitoring capability.

This feed-only-the-good-generator (FOGG) logic is consistent with the design goal of isolating functional components whose pressure cannot be controlled.

FOGG logic precludes delivery of emergency feedwater to a depressurized OTSG, thereby preventing an uncontrolled cooldown as long as the other OTSG remains pressurized.

When both OTSGs are depressurized, the EFIC logic provides EFW flow to both OTSGs until a significant pressure difference develops between the two, thereby ensuring that core cooling is maintained.

Each EFW actuation logic train actuates on a one-out-of-two taken twice combination of trip signals from the instrumentation channels. Each EFIC channel can issue an initiate command, but an EFIC actuation will take place only if at least two channels issue initiate commands. The one-out-of-two taken twice logic combinations are transposed between trains so that failure of two channels prevents actuation of, at most, one train of EFW.

More detailed descriptions of the EFIC instrumentation are provided next.

EFIC Instrumentation B 3.3.11 BASES BACKGROUND d. RCP Status (continued)

A loss of power to all four RCPs is an immediate indication of a pending loss of forced flow in the Reactor Coolant System. The RPS acts as the sensor for this EFIC Function by providing a loss of RCP indication for each pump to each EFIC channel.

When a minimum of two EFIC channels recognize the loss of all RCPs, EFIC will automatically actuate EFW and control level to natural circulation value in the OTSG. This higher setpoint provides a thermal center in the OTSG at a higher elevation than that of the reactor to ensure natural circulation as long as adequate subcooling margin is maintained.

To allow RCS heatup and cooldown without actuation, a bypass permissive of 10% RTP is used. The 10% bypass permissive was chosen because it was an available, qualified Class 1E signal at the time the EFIC System was designed.

When the first RCP is started, the "loss of four RCPs" initiation signal may be manually reset.

If the bypass is not manually reset, it will be automatically reset at 10% RTP. During cooldown, the bypass may be inserted at any time THERMAL POWER has been reduced below 10%. However, for most operating conditions, it is recommended that this trip function remain active until after the Decay Heat Removal System has been placed in operation and just prior to tripping the last RCP. This trip function must be bypassed prior to stopping the last RCP in order to avoid an EFW actuation.

SAFETY ANALYSES evaluation of this event. If the loss of feedwater is a direct result of a loss of the MFW pumps, EFW will be actuated much earlier than assumed in the analysis. This would increase OTSG heat transfer capability sooner in the event and would lessen the severity of the transient.

OTSG Pressure-Low is a primary indication and provides the actuation signal for SLBs or MFW line breaks.

Only one of the four SLB cases examined in the FSAR assumes normal automatic actuation of EFW. The other three cases assume manual initiation after 15 minutes.

For small breaks, which do not depressurize the OTSG or take a long time to depressurize, automatic actuation is not required. The operator has sufficient time to diagnose the problem and take the appropriate actions.

Loss of four RCPS is a primary indicator of the need for EFW in the Safety analyses for loss of electric power and loss of coolant flow.

The EFIC System satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO All instrumentation performing an EFIC System Function listed in Table B 3.3.11-1 shall be OPERABLE. Four channels are required OPERABLE for all EFIC instrumentation channels to ensure that no single failure prevents actuation of a train. Each EFIC instrumentation channel is considered to include the sensors and measurement channels for each Function, the operational bypass switches, and permissives.

Failures that disable the capability to place a channel in operational bypass, but which do not disable the trip Function, do not render the protection channel inoperable.

The Bases for the LCO requirements of each specific EFIC Function are discussed next.

Loss of MFW Pumps Four EFIC channels shall be OPERABLE with MFW pump turbines A and B control oil low pressure actuation setpoints of > 55 psig.

The Loss of MFW Pumps Function includes a bypass enable and removal function utilizing the same bistable and auxiliary relay used in the NI/RPS bypass reactor trip on loss of both MFW pumps. However, the EFIC bypass is a logic requiring neutron flux to be < 20% RTP and the RPS to be in shutdown bypass. Practically speaking, the status of the bypass is strictly a function of the RPS shutdown bypass (i.e., required to be OPERABLE down into MODE 3).

OTSG Level -Low Four EFIC dedicated low range level transmitters per OTSG shall be OPERABLE with OTSG Level- Low actuation setpoints of > 0 inches indicated (nominally 8 inches above the top of the bottom tube sheet), to generate the signals used for detection for low level conditions for EFW Initiation.

There is one transmitter for each of the four channels A, B, C, and D. The signals are also used after EFW is actuated to control at the low level setpoint of a nominal 32 inches above the lower tubesheet when one or more RCPs are in operation. In the determination of the low level setpoint, it is desired to place the setpoint as low as possible, considering instrument errors, to give the maximum operating margin between the ICS low load control setpoint and the EFW initiation setpoint. This minimizes spurious or unwanted initiation of EFW. To meet this criteria, a nominal setpoint of 8 inches indicated was selected, adjusted for potential instrument error, and shown to be conservative to the specified Allowable Value. Credit is only taken for low level actuation for those transients which do not involve a degraded environment. Therefore, normal environment errors only are used for determining the OTSG Level-Low Allowable Value.

EFIC Instrumentation B 3.3.11 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.11.4 REQUIREMENTS (continued) This SR verifies individual channel response times are less than or equal to the maximum value assumed in the accident analysis. Individual component response times are not modeled in the analysis. The analysis models the overall or total elapsed time from the point at which the parameter exceeds the actuation setpoint value at the sensor, to the point at which the end device is actuated.

EFIC RESPONSE TIME tests are conducted on an 24 month STAGGERED TEST BASIS. Testing of the final actuation devices, which make up the bulk of the EFIC RESPONSE TIME, is included in the testing of each channel. Therefore, staggered testing results in response time verification of these devices every 24 months. The 24 month test Frequency is based on operating experience, which shows that random failures of instrumentation components causing serious response time degradation, but not channel failure, are infrequent occurrences. EFIC RESPONSE TIMES cannot be determined at power since equipment operation, which would induce undesired plant transients, is required.

The SR is modified by a Note indicating the SR is not required to be performed prior to entry into MODE 2. This is due to the fact that secondary side (Main Steam) supply pressure for the turbine driven pump is not sufficient to perform the test until after entering MODE 3. The SR 3.0.4 type allowance is also applicable to the MFW and Main Steam Line isolation Functions, consistent with the allowances provided for the end devices in their respective Specifications (Specifications 3.7.2 and 3.7.3).

EFIC Automatic Actuation Logic B 3.3.13 BASES BACKGROUND Main Steam Line and Main Feedwater (MFW) Isolation (continued)

OTSG B MFW and Main Steam Line Isolation automatic actuation logics respond similarly for the OTSG B valves and MFW pump B.

Emergency Feedwater (EFW) Actuation The four EFIC instrumentation channels or each of the parameters being sensed input their inj,tiate commands to the trip logic modules. FSAR Figure 7-26 ef. 1) illustrates the EFW initiation logic. These trip logic modules are physically located in the "A" and "B" EF C channel cabinets.

EFW Actuation functions are the same logic combinations as MFW and Main Steam Line Isolation. Although not part of this Specification, EFW initiation also occurs on high pressure injection (HPI) actuation. Both channels of HPI actuation are input into each EFW actuation trip logic channel.

Vector Valve Enable Logic The EFW module logic is responsible for sending open or 0close signals to the EFW control and block valves. FSAR Figure - Ref.1) illustrates the vector valve logic.

The vector valve logic outputs are in a neutral state (neither commanding open nor close) until a signal is received from the vector valve enable Logic. The vector valve enable logic monitors the channel A and B EFW Actuation logics. When an EFW Actuation occurs, the vector enable logic enables the vector valve logic to generate open or close signals to the EFW valves depending on the relative values of OTSG pressures. l APPLICABLE Automatic isolation of MFW and main steam line is assumed SAFETY ANALY!

Insert B 3.3.13-1 The steam line break analysis credits EFIC for isolation of main feedwater and main steam, and the limiting single failure, with respect to both the core response and the mass and energy releases, is a failure of the main feedwater pump to trip. The limiting cases were evaluated at the EPU conditions in Reference 2.

Control of the vector valves is also credited in the MSLB with a MFP trip failure event (Ref. 2) since the Feed Only Good Generator (FOGG) logic is assumed in the termination of an overfeed condition for either OTSG during postulated DC power failures.

Automatic initiation of EFW is credited in the loss of main feedwater analysis. The automatic actuation was based on the SG low level function of EFIC, although EFIC would initiate EFW based on the loss of both MFW pumps as well.

EFIC logic satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Two channels each of MFW and Main Steam Line Isolation, Vector Valve Enable, and EFW Actuation logics shall be OPERABLE. There are only two channels of automatic actuation logic per Function. Therefore, failure to meet this LCO would make the plant susceptible to a single failure in the OPERABLE actuation Channel precluding the Function.

APPLICABILITY The MFW and Main Steam Line Isolation automatic actuation logics shall be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 because OTSG inventory can be at a high energy level and can contribute significantly to the peak containment pressure and reactor overcooling during a secondary system line break. In MODES 4, 5, and 6, the energy level is low, feedwater flow rate is low or nonexistent, and the Function is not required to be OPERABLE.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.13.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR requires the performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST to ensure that the channels can perform their intended functions. This test verifies MFW and Main Steam Line Isolation and EFW initiation automatic actuation logics are functional. This test simulates the required inputs to the logic circuit and verifies successful operation of the automatic actuation logic. The test need not include actuation of the end device. This is due to the risk of a plant transient caused by the closure of valves associated with MFW and Main Steam Line Isolation or actuation of EFW during testing at power. The Frequency of 31 days is based on operating experience, which has demonstrated the failure of more than one channel failing within the same 31 day interval is unlikely.

13. Pressurizer Level Pressurizer level is indicated to provide information on proper operation of the pressurizer for a variety of anticipated transients. These include decreasing feedwater temperature, excessive main feedwater flow, decreasing steam flow, small steam leaks, loss-of-offsite power (and subsequent natural circulation ensured by pressurizer heater operation), loss of condenser vacuum, as well as several others. For these events, pressurizer level is expected to remain on-scale for the installed indication.

For severe transients or accidents such as a steam line break, steam generator tube rupture, and many small break LOCAs, the pressurizer will void. For the case of a loss of main feedwater, the pressurizer could potentially be made water-solid. This is undesirable in that RCS pressure control is degraded and the potential for passing liquid through the pressurizer safety valves is increased. Studies have shown the safeties have a higher potential to fail to re-seat (creating an unisolable LOCA) if this condition were to occur.

Two channels of pressurizer level, each covering a range of 0 to 320 inches, are indicated and recorded in the control room. These instruments are not assumed to provide information required by the operator to take a mitigation action specified in the safety analysis. As such, they are not Type A variables. However, the monitors are deemed risk significant (Category 1) and are included within the LCO based upon this consideration.

The following instrument associated with primary coolant system operation monitoring would be rendered non-functional due to the dynamic effects of a LOCA:

- RC-1-LT3 RC-1-LT3 is a transmitter used in providing pressurizer level indication (RC-1-LIR-3) in one of two RG 1.97 compliant instrument strings.

These channels are indicated on redundant safety related digital displays, Inadequate Core Cooling System (ICCMS) displays, on the main control board. For each channel, four low range HPI System flow instruments (Function 6), along with RCS pressure inputs (Functions 3 and 26), are combined to compare the required HPI System flow (based on RCS pressure) to actual HPI System flow.

On sustained loss of subcooling margin and inadequate HPI System flow, the Fast Cooldown (FCS) automatically initiates and opens the ADVs to allow rapid RCS cool down. The HPI Flow Margin channels are used by the operator to ensure automatic actuation of the FCS and opening of the ADVs. Therefore, these channels are deemed risk significant (Category 1) and are included within the LCO based upon this consideration.

These channels are indicated on redundant safety related digital displays, ICCMS displays, on the main control board. When selected, multiple core exit temperatures are auctioneered with only the highest temperature being input to the subcooling calculation.

Additionally, a loss of adequate subcooling margin following a reactor trip results in an automatic trip of reactor coolant pumps (RCPs), steam generator level control automatically transfers to the inadequate subcooling margin level setpoint, and, when combined with inadequate HPI System flow, results in automatic actuation of the FCS which opens the ADVs. The Degrees of Subcooling channels are used by the operators to ensure these automatic actions occur. Therefore, these channels are deemed risk significant (Category 1) and are included within the LCO based upon this consideration.

PAM Instrumentation B 3.3.17 BASES ACTIONS F.1 (continued)

In the case of reactor vessel level, Reference 4 demonstrated that from a risk perspective, the appropriate Required Action was not to mandate a plant shutdown, but rather to follow the actions of Specification 5.7.2.a.

SURVEILLANCE As noted at the beginning of the SRs, the SRs apply REQUIREMENTS to each PAM instrumentation Function in Table 3.3.17-1, except as noted.

SR 3.3.17.1 Performance of the CHANNEL CHECK once every 31 days for each required instrumentation channel that is normally energized ensures that a gross failure of the instrumentation has not occurred. A CHANNEL CHECK is a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel with a similar parameter on other channels. It is based on the

,assumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should read approximately the same value.

Significant deviations between the two instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or of something even more serious.

Acceptance criteria are determined by the plant staff, and are presented in the Surveillance Procedures. The criteria may consider, but is not limited to, channel instrument uncertainties, including indication and readability. If a channel is outside the acceptance criteria, it may be an indication that the sensor or the signal processing equipment has excessively drifted. If the channels are within the acceptance criteria, it is an indication that the channels are OPERABLE. If the channels are normally off-scale when the Surveillance is performed, the CHANNEL CHECK will only verify that they are off-scale in the same direction. Off-scale low current loop channels are verified to be reading at the bottom of the range and not failed downscale.

The Frequency is based on operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is an uncommon event.

Insert B 3.3.17-4 G.1 If the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition C is not met and Table 3.3.17-1 directs entry into Condition G, THERMAL POWER must be reduced to

< 2609 MWt. FCS is only applicable with THERMAL POWER > 2609 MWt as defined in Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.20, "Fast Cooldown System (FCS)." Therefore, reducing THERMAL POWER < 2609 MWt is acceptable since the HPI Flow Margin is required for the operator to ensure automatic actuation of the FCS and opening of the ADVs.

The one hour Completion Time is consistent with the Completion Time allowed by TS 3.7.20 and is a reasonable time to achieve the required THERMAL POWER level.

linsert B ICCMS I ICCMS Instrumentation B 3.3.19 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.19 Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS)

Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND The ICCMS provides mitigation functions to protect the fuel cladding and limit the amount of energy released in an accident.

The ICCMS actuates the following:

" Fast Cooldown System (FCS),

" Reactor coolant pump (RCP) trip, and

" Steam Generator (OTSG) Inadequate Subcooling Margin (ISCM) level setpoint adjustment.

The ICCMS is an analog system and consists of three initiation channels for each Function; FCS actuation, RCP trips, and OTSG ISCM level setpoint actuation.

For each Function, three initiation channels provide input to two actuation logic trains. Each actuation logic train is initiated by two-out-of-three ICCMS initiation channels. Either actuation logic train initiates the associated equipment (Ref. 1).

Requirements associated with the ICCMS automatic actuation logic are provided in LCO 3.3.20, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS)

Automatic Actuation Logic."

ICCMS displays provide operators with indications of degrees of subcooling and high pressure injection (HPI) flow margin to evaluate ICCMS status and to ensure each of the ICCMS automatic actuations occur within their allotted time. Requirements associated with ICCMS displays and parameter indicators are provided in LCO 3.3.17, "Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Instrumentation."

The following parameters are monitored and provide input to the ICCMS to be used as required to determine Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.3-151 Revision No. XX

lnsert B lCCMS ICCMS Instrumentation B 3.3.19 BASES BACKGROUND FCS actuation, RCP trip, and OTSG ISCM level setpoint (continued) actuation:

" Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure - Low Range,

" RCS Pressure - Wide Range,

  • Core Exit Thermocouples (CETs), and

" Reactor Trip Status.

HPI Flow Three flow transmitters monitor the flow in each of four HPI lines. The four signals being summed together to produce a total HPI flow signal per ICCMS initiation channel.

RCS Pressure Each ICCMS initiation channel monitors two independent pressure sensors - a low range sensor (0-600 psig) and a wide range sensor (0-2500 psig).

For RCS pressures of 500 psig and below, the low range signal is used; above 500 psig, the wide range signal is used.

The selected RCS pressure is an input to function generators used to derive the degrees of subcooling, degrees of superheat, and required HPI flow.

CETs Each ICCMS initiation channel receives input from eight Type K incore thermocouples. To accommodate the occasional failure of a CET, provisions for Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.3-152 Revision No. XX

nseBICCMS ICCMS Instrumentation B 3.3.19 BASES BACKGROUND CETs (continued) bypassing a failed thermocouple are provided. The ICCMS circuitry selects the highest of the remaining CETs signals for use.

The input parameters are processed in the ICCMS circuitry to determine subcooling margin and HPI flow margin.

Degrees of Subcoolinq Monitor Subcooling margin is the difference between saturation temperature for a given pressure as compared to the actual temperature corrected for instrument uncertainty. Each ICCMS initiation channel receives input from the CETs and RCS pressure instruments to generate core degrees of subcooling values and to determine if a loss of subcooling margin (SCM) exists. When inadequate SCM is coincident with a reactor trip signal, each ICCMS initiation channel will generate a loss of SCM signal. Two-out-of-three ICCMS channels in trip results in two actuation logic trains tripped, each of which provide an RCP trip within one minute and also results in raising the OTSG secondary side water level control setting to the ISCM level.

HPI Flow Margin Monitor Each ICCMS initiation channel associated with the FCS actuation Function also receives HPI flow input from each of the four HPI System injection lines.

The four signals are summed and the total HPI flow is compared to a generated curve of minimum HPI flow versus RCS Pressure to determine inadequate HPI flow. This curve also includes adjustments for instrument uncertainty. Upon a sustained loss of SCM and inadequate HPI flow, each ICCMS initiation channel will generate a trip signal. Two-out-of-three ICCMS channels in trip results in two actuation logic trains tripped, each of which initiates the FCS (Ref. 1).

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.3-153 Revision No. XX

Insert B ICCMS ICCMS Instrumentation B 3.3.19 BASES BACKGROUND Reactor Trip Status (continued)

Each ICCMS channel monitors auxiliary contacts from each of six CONTROL ROD drive (CRD) trip breakers:

  • A - Main CRD supply breaker,
  • B - Secondary CRD supply breaker,
  • C1 and C2 - Main DC Hold supply breaker pair, and

" D1 and D2 - Secondary DC Hold supply breaker pair.

The ICCMS circuitry indicates that a reactor trip has occurred if: 1) CRD trip breakers A and B are open; 2) CRD trip breakers A and D1 and D2 are open; 3) CRD trip breakers B and C1 and C2 are open; or 4) CRD trip breakers C1 and C2 and D1 and D2 are open.

APPLICABLE The following ICCMS Functions have been assumed within SAFETY the accident analyses.

ANALYSES

1. FCS Actuation For a specific range of small break loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs), HPI flow (assuming worse case single failure) by itself may not be sufficient to protect the core. Both ADVs are assumed to actuate following a sustained loss of SCM to cool down the RCS following a small break LOCA when HPI flow is inadequate (Ref. 2). The ICCMS automatically actuates the FCS to support the safety analysis.

In the initiating event, the ICCMS will detect a loss of SCM concurrent with inadequate HPI flow and reactor trip status. Following a sustained loss of SCM and inadequate HPI flow, the ICCMS automatically initiates FCS, which opens both ADVs, to allow rapid RCS cool down.

The FCS and operation of both ADVs are credited with THERMAL POWER > 2609 MWt (pre-EPU power level) to assure sufficient core cooling during a SBLOCA assuming single failure of one HPI subsystem. With THERMAL POWER < 2609 MWt, the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) provides sufficient core cooling during a small break LOCA assuming single Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.3-154 Revision No. XX

SAFETY ANALYSES failure of one HPI subsystem without the need for the FCS and ADVs (Refs. 2 and 3). Requirements associated with the FCS function of the ADVs are provided in LCO 3.7.20, "Fast Cooldown System (FCS)."

2. RCP Trip The core flood line break analysis requires the trip of the RCPs within one minute following a sustained loss of SCM in order to minimize the rate of inventory loss which would reduce the time to the core becoming uncovered. In the initiating event, the ICCMS will detect a loss of SCM and reactor trip status. Following a sustained loss of SCM, the ICCMS automatically opens the RCP breakers within one minute (Ref. 2).
3. OTSG ISCM Level Setooint Actuation Small break LOCA analysis requires the raising of the OTSG secondary side water level to the ISCM level. This level is necessary in the boiler condenser phase of accident mitigation to promote natural circulation within the RCS. In the initiating event, the ICCMS will detect a loss of SCM and reactor trip status. Following a sustained loss of SCM, the ICCMS within 10 minutes automatically sends a signal to the Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Control (EFIC) System which raises OTSG secondary side level to the ISCM level (Ref. 2).

The ICCMS instrumentation channels satisfy Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).

LCO The ICCMS channels for each Function specified in Table 3.3.19-1 are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that a single failure of one required channel will not result in loss of the ability to automatically actuate the required safety systems.

Each HPI Flow channel includes a sensor, square root extractor, summer, and associated analog modules. All four HPI Flow channels per ICCMS initiation channel must be OPERABLE to determine total HPI Flow. The analog and bistable portions of each flow channel are ICCMS initiation channel specific. Therefore, failure of one channel renders one channel of the HPI Flow Function in one ICCMS initiation channel inoperable to each ICCMS actuation logic train.

1.b, 2.a, 3.a Reactor Coolant Pressure - Low Range One channel of Reactor Coolant Pressure - Low Range is required to be OPERABLE per ICCMS initiation channel.

Each Reactor Coolant Pressure - Low Range channel includes a sensor, function generator, and associated analog modules. The analog and bistable portions of each pressure channel are ICCMS initiation channel specific. Therefore, failure of one channel renders one channel of the Reactor Coolant Pressure - Low Range in one ICCMS initiation channel inoperable to each ICCMS actuation logic train.

Therefore, failure of one channel renders one channel of the Reactor Coolant Pressure - Wide Range in one ICCMS initiation channel inoperable to each ICCMS actuation logic train.

Reactor Coolant Pressure - Wide Range Function is automatically selected when RCS pressure is

One of two channels per core quadrant of CETs is required to be OPERABLE per ICCMS initiation channel.

Each CET channel includes a sensor, temperature transmitter, and associated analog modules. Each CET channel is ICCMS initiation channel specific.

Therefore, failure of one required CET in a core quadrant renders one required channel in one ICCMS initiation channel inoperable to each ICCMS actuation logic train.

Each Inadequate HPI Flow channel includes an actual HPI flow input, reference RCS pressure input, comparator, function generator, and associated analog modules.

Failure of one channel renders one ICCMS initiation channel inoperable to each FCS actuation logic train.

1.g, 2.e, 3.e Reactor Trip Status Six channels of Reactor Trip Status are required to be OPERABLE per ICCMS initiation channel. Each Reactor Trip Status channel includes an auxiliary contact and associated analog modules. Each ICCMS initiation channel receives six independent auxiliary contacts from the CRD trip breakers. Therefore, the auxiliary contacts of the Reactor Trip Status Function channels are ICCMS initiation channel specific. Failure of an auxiliary contact renders one Reactor Trip Status Function channel in one ICCMS initiation channel inoperable.

APPLICABILITY The ICCMS instrumentation channels are applicable as specified in Table 3.3.19-1.

FCS Actuation Functions The ICCMS instrumentation required to actuate FCS shall be OPERABLE with THERMAL POWER > 2609 MWt. The FCS and operation of the ADVs are assumed with THERMAL POWER > 2609 MWt. With THERMAL POWER < 2609 MWt, the ECCS provides sufficient core cooling during a small break LOCA assuming a single failure of one HPI subsystem without the need for the FCS function of the ADVs.

RCP Trip Functions The ICCMS instrumentation required to trip the RCPs shall be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 to minimize the rate of inventory loss which would reduce the time to the core becoming uncovered during a LOCA.

ACTIONS A Note has been provided to modify the ACTIONS related to ICCMS instrument Function. Section 1.3, Completion Times, specifies that once a Condition has been entered, subsequent divisions, subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be inoperable or not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition. Section 1.3 also specifies that Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply for each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition. However, the Required Actions for inoperable ICCMS instrument Functions provide appropriate compensatory measures for separate inoperable Functions. As such, a Note has been provided that allows separate Condition entry for each inoperable ICCMS instrumentation Function.

A second Note is provided to ensure appropriate remedial actions are taken, if necessary, when required PAM indication channels are rendered inoperable by ICCMS instrument inoperabilities.

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.3-159 Revision No. XX

lInse B ICCMS ICCMS Instrumentation B 3.3.19 BASES ACTIONS A.1 (continued)

With one or more required channels inoperable, the inoperable channel must be restored to OPERABLE status within 30 days. The 30 day Completion Time takes into account the provisions to support manual actuation of the FCS, RCP trip, and OTSG ISCM Setpoint adjustment.

The 30 day Completion Time is also considered acceptable based on maintaining FCS actuation capability and the low probability of an event requiring the ICCMS instrumentation during this time period.

B.1 This Required Action directs entry into the appropriate Condition referenced in Table 3.3.19-1.

The applicable Condition referenced in the Table is Function dependent. Each time an inoperable channel has not met the Required Action of Condition A and the associated Completion Time has expired, Condition B is entered for that channel and provides for transfer to the appropriate subsequent Condition.

Additionally, multiple inoperable, untripped channels may result in a loss of FCS actuation capability.

Therefore, Condition B is entered and provides for transfer to the appropriate subsequent Condition. For ICCMS instrumentation, automatic FCS actuation capability is considered not maintained when multiple inoperable channels result in two or more ICCMS initiation channels inoperable and untripped to the FCS automatic actuation logic trains.

C.1 If a channel is not restored to OPERABLE status within the allowed Completion Time, this Required Action specifies initiation of action in accordance with Specification 5.7.2.a, which requires a written special report to be submitted to the NRC.

The special report discusses the results of the root cause evaluation of the inoperability, identifies proposed restorative actions, and provides a schedule for restoring the ICCMS channels to OPERABLE status.

D.1 With the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A not met or automatic FCS actuation capability not maintained, declaring the associated supported feature (i.e., FCS function of the ADVs) inoperable ensures the appropriate Required Actions are performed for the supported feature per LCO 3.0.6.

In this situation (Required Actions and associated Completion Time of Condition A not met or automatic FCS actuation capability not maintained), continued operation at 100% RTP is not appropriate. Therefore, the FCS must be immediately declared inoperable and the appropriate ACTIONS of Specification 3.7.20 performed.

SURVEILLANCE A Note indicates that the SRs for each ICCMS REQUIREMENTS instrument Function are identified in the SRs column of Table 3.3.19-1. The various SRs account for individual functional differences and for test frequencies applicable specifically to the Functions listed in Table 3.3.19-1.

A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels. It is based on the assumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should read approximately the same value.

REQUIREMENTS instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or of something more serious. CHANNEL CHECK will detect gross channel failure; therefore, it is key in verifying that the instrumentation continues to operate properly between each CHANNEL CALIBRATION.

Agreement criteria are determined based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties, including isolation, indication, and readability. If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the transmitter or the signal processing equipment has drifted outside its limit.

If the channels are normally off scale during times when surveillance is required, the CHANNEL CHECK will only verify that they are off scale in the same direction. Off scale low current loop channels are verified to be reading at the bottom of the range and not failed downscale.

For Loss of Subcooling Margin (Functions 1.e, 2.d, 3.d) and Inadequate HPI Flow (Function 1.f) Functions, the Degrees of Subcooling and HPI Flow Margin indicators may be used to perform the required CHANNEL CHECK.

The Frequency, about once every shift, is based on operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare. Since the probability of two random failures in redundant channels in any 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> period is extremely low, the CHANNEL CHECK minimizes the chance of loss of protective function due to failure of redundant channels. The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channel OPERABILITY during normal operational use of the displays associated with the LCO's required channels.

SR 3.3.19.2 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed on each required ICCMS channel to ensure the entire channel will perform the intended functions. Analog and contact inputs may be simulated at the analog input or contact input to the ICCMS initiation channel.

REQUIREMENTS Actuation of the channel trip module is verified along with all event points, annunciator alarms, and main control board status lights. Any setpoint adjustment shall be consistent with the assumptions of the safety analyses in which the ICCMS Functions are assumed.

The Frequency is based on engineering judgment of the reliability of the components and minimizing the possibility of inadvertent FCS actuation, RCP trip, or OTSG ISCM level setpoint actuation.

SR 3.3.19.3 CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy.

CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to account for instrument drift to ensure that the instrument channel remains operational between successive tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that measurement errors and bistable setpoint errors are within the assumptions of the ICCMS instrumentation calculations. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must also be performed consistent with the assumptions of the safety analyses in which the ICCMS Functions are assumed.

This Frequency is justified by the assumption of a 24 month calibration interval to determine the magnitude of equipment drift in the ICCMS instrumentation calculations.

This SR is modified by two Notes. The first Note requires evaluation of channel performance for the condition where the as-found setting for the channel setpoint is outside its as-found tolerance but conservative. Evaluation of channel performance will verify that the channel will continue to behave in accordance with safety analysis assumptions and the channel performance assumptions in the ICCMS Crystal River Unit 3 B 3. 3-163 Revision No. XX

Insert B ICCMS ICCMS Instrumentation B 3.3.19 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.19.3 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS instrument calculations. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure confidence in the channel performance prior to returning the channel to service.

For channels determined to be OPERABLE but degraded after returning the channel to service, the performance of these channels will be evaluated under the plant Corrective Action Program (CAP). Entry into the CAP will ensure required review and documentation of the condition.

The second Note requires the as-left setting for the channel be returned to within, or more conservative than, the pre-established as-left tolerance. Where a setpoint more conservative than the pre-established as-left tolerance is used in the plant surveillance procedures, the as-left and as-found tolerances, as applicable will be applied to the surveillance procedure setpoint. This will ensure that sufficient margin to the Safety Limit and/or Analytical Limit is maintained. If the as-left channel setting cannot be returned to a setting within the pre-established as-left tolerance, then the channel shall be declared inoperable. The second Note also requires the pre-established tolerance and the methodologies for calculating the as-left and the as-found tolerances be in the FSAR (Ref. 1).

[Insert B ICCMS I ICCMS Automatic Actuation Logic B 3.3.20 B 3.3 INSTRUMENTATION B 3.3.20 Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS) Automatic Actuation Logic BASES BACKGROUND The ICCMS provides mitigation functions to protect the fuel cladding and limit the amount of energy released in an accident.

The ICCMS actuates the following:

" Fast Cooldown System (FCS),

The ICCMS is an analog system and consists of three initiation channels for each Function; FCS actuation, RCP trips, and OTSG ISCM level setpoint actuation.

For each Function, three initiation channels provide input to two actuation logic trains. Each actuation logic train is initiated by two-out-of-three ICCMS initiation channels. Either actuation logic train initiates the associated equipment (Ref. 1).

It should be noted that OPERABLE automatic actuation logic trains alone will not ensure that each Function can be activated; the instrumentation channels and actuated equipment associated with each Function must also be OPERABLE to ensure that the Functions can be automatically initiated during an accident. This specification covers only the automatic actuation logic that initiates these Functions. LCO 3.3.19, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS)

Instrumentation," provides requirements associated with the instrumentation and initiation channels that input to the automatic actuation logic.

[Insert B ICCMS I ICCMS Automatic Actuation Logic B 3.3.20 BASES BACKGROUND actuation logic trains to allow for maintenance.

(continued) Bypassing one automatic actuation logic train does not prevent actuation of the associated equipment since the other automatic actuation logic train remains available to each component.

Each of three ICCMS cabinets is independently powered from battery backed vital power sources. If power is lost to an ICCMS initiation channel, both actuation trains of each ICCMS Function receives a trip signal.

If power is lost to an automatic actuation logic train, the actuation logic train to each ICCMS Function fails in the untripped state.

APPLICABLE The following ICCMS Functions have been assumed within SAFETY the accident analyses.

ANALYSES

1. FCS Actuation For a specific range of small break loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs), HPI flow (assuming worse case single failure) by itself may not be sufficient to protect the core. Both ADVs are assumed to actuate following a sustained loss of SCM to cool down the RCS following a small break LOCA when HPI flow is inadequate (Ref. 2). The ICCMS automatically actuates the FCS to support the safety analysis.

In the initiating event, the ICCMS will detect a loss of SCM concurrent with inadequate HPI flow and reactor trip status. Following a sustained loss of SCM and inadequate HPI flow, the ICCMS automatically initiates FCS, which opens both ADVs, to allow rapid RCS cool down.

The FCS and operation of both ADVs are credited with THERMAL POWER > 2609 MWt (pre-EPU power level) to assure sufficient core cooling during a SBLOCA assuming single failure of one HPI subsystem. With THERMAL POWER

  • 2609 MWt, the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) provides sufficient core cooling during a small break LOCA assuming single failure of one HPI subsystem without the need for the FCS and ADVs (Refs. 2 and 3). Requirements associated with the FCS and ADVs are provided in LCO 3.7.20, "Fast Cooldown System (FCS)."

Insert B ICCMS]

ICCMS Automatic Actuation Logic B 3.3.20 BASES APPLICABLE 2. RCP Trip SAFETY ANALYSES The core flood line break analysis requires the (continued) trip of the RCPs within one minute following a sustained loss of SCM in order to minimize the rate of inventory loss which would reduce the time to the core becoming uncovered. In the initiating event, the ICCMS will detect a loss of SCM and reactor trip status. Following a sustained loss of SCM, the ICCMS automatically opens the RCP breakers within one minute (Ref. 2).

3. OTSG ISCM Level Setpoint Actuation Small break LOCA analysis also requires the raising of the OTSG secondary side water level to the ISCM level. This level is necessary in the boiler condenser phase of accident mitigation to promote natural circulation within the RCS. In the initiating event, the ICCMS will detect a loss of SCM and reactor trip status. Following a sustained loss of SCM, the ICCMS within 10 minutes automatically sends a signal to the Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Control (EFIC) System which raises OTSG secondary side level to the ISCM level (Ref. 2).

The ICCMS automatic actuation logic satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).

LCO The ICCMS automatic actuation logic trains for each Function specified in Table 3.3.20-1 are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that a single failure of one train will not result in loss of the ability to automatically actuate the required safety systems.

Each automatic actuation logic train receives input from three ICCMS initiation channels and actuates on a two-out-of-three logic.

Each ICCMS automatic actuation logic train is considered to include the associated ICCMS initiation channel inputs, maintenance bypass switches, time delays, and permissives to ensure the logic train performs its related support function.

RCS Minimum Temperature for Criticality B 3.4.2 B 3.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS)

B 3.4.2 RCS Minimum Temperature for Criticality BASES BACKGROUND The value for the minimum temperature for reactor criticality was established based upon considerations for:

a. operation within the existing instrumentation ranges and accuracies; The Reactor Protection System (RPS) receives inputs from the narrow range hot leg temperature detectors, which have a range of 520°F to 620 0 F. The integrated control system (ICS) controls average temperature (Ta.0) using instrumentation with the same range.
b. making the reactor critical under "hot" RCS conditions.
c. assuring stable reactivity control when reactivity changes are induced by temperature changes during a beginning of core life start-up.

Nominal T vg for making the reactor critical is 532°F.

APPLICABLE There are no accident analyses that specify a minimum SAFETY ANALYSES temperature for criticality, but all low power safety analyses assume initial temperatures near the 525°F limit.

The reactor coolant moderator temperature coefficient used in core operating and accident analysis is typically defined for the normal operating temperature range (532 0 F to -594).

RCS minimum temperature for criticality satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO The purpose of the LCO is to prevent criticality outside the normal operating range (532 0 F to -7o99+) and to prevent operation in an unanalyzed condition.

Pressurizer B 3.4.8 BASES BACKGROUND A minimum required available capacity of 252 kW is based on (continued) total heat loss through the pressurizer insulation and ensures that the RCS can be maintained at hot standby conditions. Inability to control the system pressure and maintain subcooling under conditions of natural circulation flow in the primary system could lead to loss of single phase natural circulation and decreased capability to remove core decay heat.

The 252 kW value is based, in part, on CR-3 pre-operational test data of measured pressurizer heat losses with the RCS at hot standby conditions, a subsequent performance test to validate heat losses, plus some margin for heater and insulation degradation over time. Although 252 kW can be supplied by two full banks of pressurizer heaters, additional heaters can be energized to account for increased heater degradation or pressurizer heat losses, provided no more than 378 kW of heaters is energized from an emergency power source.

Pressurizer heater power supply design provides the capability to supply, from either the offsite power source or either emergency power source (when offsite power is not available), sufficient heater capacity and associated controls. The minimum heater capacity and associated controls are connected to the emergency buses in a manner to provide redundant power supply capability.

APPLICABLE In MODES 1 and 2, the LCO requirement for a steam bubble is SAFETY ANALYSES reflected implicitly in the accident analyses. All analyses performed from a critical reactor condition assume the existence of a steam bubble and saturated conditions in the pressurizer. In making this assumption, the analyses neglect the small fraction of noncondensible gases normally present.

HPI actuation and CFT discharge are the transients that result in exceeding P/T limits within < 10 minutes, in which time no operator action is assumed to take place. In the rest, operator action after that time precludes overpressurization. The analyses demonstrate that the time allowed for operator action is adequate, or the events are self limiting and do not exceed LTOP limits.

The following are required during the LTOP MODES to ensure that transients do not occur, which either of the LTOP overpressure protection means cannot handle:

a. Deactivating all but one makeup pump;
b. Deactivating HPI; and
c. Immobilizing CFT discharge isolation valves in their closed positions, when CFT pressure is greater than the PTLR limit.

The Reference 3 analyses demonstrate the PORV can maintain RCS pressure below limits when only one makeup pump is actuated. Consequently, the LCO allows only one makeup pump to be OPERABLE in the LTOP MODES.

Inadvertent actuation of HPI can cause the RCS pressure to exceed the LTOP limits determined by Reference 3 sooner than the 10 minutes allowed. Consequently, HPI must be deactivated by assuring that an inadvertent HPI actuation can not inject water into the RCS through the HPI valves.

The isolated CFTs must have their discharge valves closed and the valve power breakers in their open positions. The analyses show the effect of CFT discharge is over a narrower RCS temperature range (208'F and below) than that of the LCO (264°F and below).

Analyses performed per Reference 1 established the temperature of LTOP Applicability at 263°F at the vessel quarter-t location. The LTOP enable temperature of < 264 0 F includes correction for instrument uncertainty.

RCS Operational LEAKAGE B 3.4.12 BASES LCO c. Identified LEAKAGE (conti nued)

Up to 10 gpm of identified LEAKAGE is considered allowable because LEAKAGE is from known sources that do not interfere with the detection of unidentified LEAKAGE and is well within the capability of the RCS makeup system. Identified LEAKAGE includes LEAKAGE to the containment from specifically known and located sources, but does not include pressure boundary LEAKAGE or controlled reactor coolant pump (RCP) seal leakoff (a normal function not considered LEAKAGE).

Violation of this LCO could result in continued degradation of a component or system.

d. Primary to Secondary V. LEAKAGE through Any One OTSG The limit of 150 l-loens--ped-ay per OTSG is base,5 on the operational LEAKAGE performance criterion in NEI 97-06, Steam Generator Program Guidelines (Ref. 5).

The Steam Generator Program operational LEAKAGE performance criterion in NEI 97-06 states, "The RCS g ,

operational primary to secondaryVAeakage through an' one SG shall be limited to 150 g el5-o pe ." The limit is based on operating experience with OTSG tube degradation mechanisms that result in tube leakage.

The operational leakage rate criterion in conjunction with the implementation of the Steam Generator Program is an effective measure for minimizing the frequency of steam generator tube ruptures.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the potential for RCPB LEAKAGE or an event that challenges OTSG tube integrity is greatest since the RCS is pressurized. In MODES 5 and 6, LEAKAGE limits and OTSG OPERABILITY are not required because the reactor coolant pressure is far lower, resulting in lower stresses and reduced potentials for LEAKAGE or failure.

LCO 3.4.13, "RCS Pressure Isolation Valve (PIV) Leakage,"

measures leakage through each individual PIV and can impact this LCO. Of the two PIVs in series in each line, leakage measured through one PIV does not result in RCS LEAKAGE when the other is leaktight. If both valves leak and result in a loss of mass from the RCS, the loss must be included in the determination of allowable identified LEAKAGE.

RCS PIV Leakage B 3.4.13 B 3.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS)

B 3.4.13 RCS Pressure Isolation Valve (PIV) Leakage BASES DHV-611, and DHV-612 BACKGROUND For the purposes of this Technical Specification, RCS PIVs are defined as any two in-series check valves within the RCS pressure boundary that separate the high pressure RCS from an attached low pressure system, a failure of which, woul cause overpressurization of the low pressure system and a LOCA that bypasses containment. The only valves address d by this Specification are DHV-1, DHV-2, CFV-1, and CFV-3 .

During the valves operating life time, varying amounts of reactor coolant leakage past the valve occurs through either normal operational wear or mechanical deterioration. The RCS PIV Leakage LCO allows RCS high pressure operation when leakage through these valves exists in amounts that do not compromise safety.

The PIV leakage limit applies to each individual valve.

Leakage through both series PIVs in a line must be included as part of the identified LEAKAGE, governed by LCO 3.4.12, "RCS Operational LEAKAGE." This is true during operation only when the loss of RCS mass through two series valves is determined by a water inventory balance (SR 3.4.12.1). A known component of the identified LEAKAGE before operation begins is the least of the two individual leakage rates determined for leaking series PIVs during the required surveillance testing; leakage measured through one PIV in a line is not RCS operational LEAKAGE if the other is leaktight.

Although this Specification provides a limit on allowable PIV leakage rate, its main purpose is to prevent overpressure failure of the low pressure portions of connecting systems. The leakage limit is an indication that the PIVs between the RCS and the connected systems are degraded or degrading. PIV leakage could lead to overpressure of the low pressure piping or components.

Failure consequences could be a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) outside of containment, an unanalyzed accident.

The basis for this LCO is the 1975 NRC "Reactor Safety Study" (Ref. 1). This study identified potential intersystem LOCAs as a significant contributor to the risk (continued)

Requiring the ACIS to be OPERABLE ensures the DHR ystem, via the drop line, is protected against design system overpressurization. Both channels of ACIS are required to be OPERABLE to provide redundant diverse means of isolating the decay heat drop line.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the PIV leakage potential and the need for ACIS is greatest with the RCS pressurized in excess of the limiting DHR System design pressure. In MODE 4, valves in the DHR flow path are not required to meet the requirements of this LCO when in the DHR mode of operation, or during the transition to or from this means of core cooling. This allows the DHR System to be put in service in the lower portions of MODE 4, eliminating the need to operate an RCS loop and reactor coolant pumps all the way down into MODE 5.

In MODES 5 and 6, leakage limits are not required because the lower reactor coolant pressure results in a reduced potential for leakage and for a LOCA outside the containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the reactor coolant system is less likely to experience rapid pressure increases and the magnitude of these increases is less. Thus, ACIS is not required in these MODES.

Four hours provides time to reduce leakage in excess of the allowable limit or to isolate the affected system if leakage cannot be reduced.

The action to isolate the high pressure portion from the low pressure portion does not apply to the piping leading to the CFTs. This position is consistent with the intent of this LCO to minimize the potential for a LOCA that bypasses containment. Thus, the affected DHR System flow paths are the only ones required to be isolated.

RCS PIV Leakage B 3.4.13 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.4.13.1 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS For the two PIVs in series, the leakage requirement applies to each valve individually and not to the combined leakage across both valves. If the PIVs were not individually leakage tested, one valve could have failed completely and not detected provided the other valve in series met the leakage requirement. In this situation, the protection provided by redundant valves would be lost.

The ASME OM Code (Ref. 3) permits leakage testing at a lower pressure differential than between the specified maximum RCS pressure and the normal pressure of the connected system during RCS operation (the maximum pressure differential).

Reference 3 allows this reduced pressure testing for those types of valves in which the higher service pressure will tend to diminish the overall leakage channel opening, e.g.,

check valves. In such cases, the observed rate should be adjusted to the maximum pressure differential by assuming leakage is directly proportional to the pressure differential to the one half power.

The Frequency of testing is a combination of ASME Code and PIV Order requirements.

The Inservice Testing Program implements the ASME OM Code (Ref. 3), cold shutdown performance requirement. This requirement is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under conditions that apply during an outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the plant at power.

The Frequency of prior to entering MODE 2 whenever the plant has been in MODE 5 for 7 days or more, if leakage testing has not been performed in the previous 9 months w"s contained in the April 20, 1981 PIV Order (Ref. *6W.It was-intended to provide confidence the valves re-seated following any period of extended operation with flow through the valves.

Verifying ACIS is OPERAv Lensures that RCS pressure will not pressurize the DHR system beyond its design pressure of 330 psig on the suction side and 450 psig on the discharge side of the pump. The setpoint is adjusted to account for elevation differences between the pressure instrument and the drop line and is set so RCS hot leg pressure must be

< 284 psig to open the valves. This setpoint ensures the DHR design pressure will not be exceeded and the DHR relief valves will not lift. The 24 month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage. The 24 month Frequency is also acceptable based on consideration of the design reliability (and confirming operating experience) of the equipment.

These values represent a reasonable operating capability rather than a specific analytical result.

Violation of the LCO may result in reactor coolant radioactivity levels that could, in the event of an accident, lead to site boundary doses that exceed the applicable dose limits of 10 CFR 50.67.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1 and 2, and in MODE 3 with RCS average temperature

> 500'F, the energy in the RCS is sufficient to lift secondary side relief valves in the event of a SGTR.

For operation in MODE 3 with RCS average temperature

< 500'F, and in MODES 4 and 5, the release of radioactivity in the event of an SGTR is unlikely since the saturation pressure of the reactor coolant is below the lift pressure settings of the atmospheric dump valves and main steam safety valves.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.4.15.1 REQUIREMENTS SR 3.4.15.1 requires performing a gamma isotopic analysis as a measure of the gross specific activity of the reactor coolant at least once per 7 days. While basically a quantitative measure of radionuclides with half lives longer than 15 minutes, excluding iodines, this measurement is the sum of the degassed gamma activities and the gaseous gamma activities in the sample taken. This Surveillance provides an indication of any increase in gross specific activity.

The 7 day Frequency considers the unlikelihood of a gross fuel failure during that time period and is adequate based on operating history.

SR 3.4.15.3 SR 3.4.15.3 requires radiochemical analysis for E every 184 days (6 months) with the plant operating in MODE 1 equilibrium conditions. The E determination directly relates to the LCO and is required to verify plant operation within the specific gross activity LCO limit. The analysis for E is a measurement of the average energies per disintegration for isotopes with half lives longer than 15 minutes, excluding iodines. The Frequency of 184 days recognizes E does not change rapidly.

This SR has been modified by a Note that indicates the SR is only required to be performed 31 days after a minimum of 2 EFPD and 20 days of MODE 1 operation have elapsed since the reactor was last subcritical for at least 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.

OTSG Tube Integrity B 3.4.16 BASES BACKGROUND performance criteria are described in Specification (continued) 5.6.2.10. Meeting the OTSG performance criteria provides reasonable assurance of maintaining tube integrity at normal and accident conditions.

The processes used to meet the OTSG performance criteria are defined by the Steam Generator Program Guidelines (Ref. 1).

Steam generator tube integrity satisfies Criterion 2 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).

LCO The LCO requires that OTSG tube integrity be maintained.

The LCO also requires that all OTSG tubes that satisfy the repair criteria be plugged in accordance with the Steam Generator Program.

Insert B 3.4.16-1 for the MSLB only. The Locked Rotor and Control Rod Ejection accident (Ref. 7) assume 150 gallons per day (gpd) per OTSG. The accident induced conditions that result in one gpm primary to secondary leakage are conditions that result in high differential pressure/temperature across the OTSGs tubes. Accident conditions with high tube-to-shell delta temperature and high differential pressure between the primary and secondary sides of the OTSG results in the existing gaps opening and provides sufficient motive force for the primary to secondary leakage to increase to one gpm. These conditions only exist in the MSLB. The Locked Rotor and Control Rod Ejection accidents do no exhibit the thermal-hydraulic conditions that would result in the primary to secondary leakage exceeding the value of 150 gpd per OTSG. Therefore, the primary to secondary LEAKAGE from the unaffected OTSGs for these accidents is assumed to be 150 gpd for the dose analyses (Ref. 7).

OTSG Tube Integrity B 3.4.16 BASES LCO is considered significant when the addition of such loads (continued) in the assessment of the structural integrity performance criterion could cause a lower structural limit or limiting burst/collapse condition to be established." For tube integrity evaluations, except for circumferential degradation, axial thermal loads are classified as secondary loads. For circumferential degradation, the classification of axial thermal loads as primary or secondary loads will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The division between primary and secondary classifications will be based on detailed analysis and/or testing.

Structural integrity requires that the primary membrane stress intensity in a tube not exceed the yield strength for all ASME Code,Section III, Service Level A (normal operating conditions) and Service Level B (upset or abnormal conditions) transients included in the design specification. This includes safety factors and applicable design basis loads based on ASME Code,Section III, Subsection NB (Ref. 4) and Draft Regulatory Guide 1.121 (Ref. 5).

The accident induced leakage performance criterion ensures that the primary to secondary LEAKAGE caused by a design basis accident, other than a SGTR, is within the accident analysis assumptions. The accident analysis assumes that r`eý accident induced leakage does not exceed one ga-o4en-pef gpM m-if-n4e per OTSG. The accident induced leakage rate includes any primary to secondary LEAKAGE existing prior to the accident in addition to primary to secondary LEAKAGE induced during the accident.

The operational LEAKAGE performance criterion provides an observable indication of OTSG tube conditions during plant operation. The limit on operational LEAKAGE is contained in LCO 3.4.12, "RCS Operational LEAKAGE," and limits primary to secondary LEAKAGE through any one OTSG to 150 ga-l-ons-pe-r--da-y. This limit is based on the assumption that a single crack leaking this amount would not propagate to a SGTR under the stress conditions of a LOCA or a main steam line break. If this amount of LEAKAGE is due to more than one crack, the cracks are very small, and the above assumption is conservative.

CFTs B 3.5.1 BASES APPLICABLE No operator action is assumed during the blowdown stage of SAFETY ANALYSIS a large break LOCA.

(continued)

The small break LOCA analysis also assumes a time delay after ESAS actuation before pumped flow reaches the core.

For the2 larger range of small breaks (between - 0.2 ft 2 and 0.5 ft ), the rate of blowdown is such that the increase in fuel clad temperature is terminated by the CFTs, with pumped flow then providing continued cooling. As break size decreases (- 0.02 ft2 and 0.2 ft 2 ), the CFTs av&"-44P--pUiuPS both play a part in terminating the rise in clad

,HPIpumps,dump Satmospheric and temperature. As break size continues to decrease, the role valves (ADVs) of the CFTs continues to decrease until the tanks are not required and the HPI pumps, with the help of EFW for steam generator cooling, become responsible for termin ing the temperature increase. a This LCO helps to ensure that the following acceptance criteria for the ECCS established by 10 CFR 50.46 (Ref. 2) will be met following a LOCA:

a. Maximum fuel element cladding temperature of 2200OF;
b. Maximum cladding oxidation of < 0.17 times the total cladding thickness before oxidation;
c. Maximum hydrogen generation from a zirconium water reaction of < 0.01 times the hypothetical amount that would be generated if all of the metal in the cladding cylinders surrounding the fuel, excluding the cladding surrounding the plenum volume, were to react; and
d. Core maintained in a coolable geometry.

Since the CFTs discharge during the blowdown and reflood phases of a LOCA, they do not contribute to the long term cooling requirements of 10 CFR 50.46.

The limits for operation with a CFT that is inoperable for any reason other than the boron concentration not being within limits minimize the time that the plant is exposed to a LOCA event occurring coincident with inoperability of a CFT, which might result in unacceptable peak cladding temperatures. If a closed isolation valve cannot be opened, (continued)

CFTs B 3.5.1 BASES APPLICABLE or the proper water volume or nitrogen cover pressure cannot SAFETY ANALYSIS be restored, the full capability of one CFT is not available (continued) and prompt action is required to place the reactor in a MODE in which this capability is not required.

The minimum volume requirement for the CFTs ensures that both CFTs can provide adequate inventory to reflood the core and downcomer following a LOCA. The downcomer then remains flooded until the HPI and LPI systems start to deliver flow.

The maximum volume limit is based upon the need to maintain adequate gas volume to ensure proper injection, ensure the ability of the CFTs to fully discharge, and limit the maximum amount of boron inventory in the CFTs. Values of 7255 gallons and 8005 gallons are specified.

The minimum nitrogen cover pressure requirement of 577 psia ensures that the contained gas volume will generate discharge flow rates during injection that are consistent with those assumed in the safety analysis. The maximum nitrogen cover pressure limit of 653 psia ensures that the amount of CFT inventory that is discharged while the RCS depressurizes, and is therefore lost through the break, will not be larger than that predicted by the safety analysis.

  • The minimum boron requirement of 2-2 ppm is selected to ensure that the reactor will remain subcritical during the reflood stage of a large break LOCA. The maximum allowable boron concentration of 3500 ppm in the CFTs ensures that the sump pH will be maintained between 7.0 and 11.0 following a LOCA (Ref. 5).

The numerical values of the parameters stated in the LCO are analysis values and do not include a specific allowance for instrument error. However, the nitrogen cover pressure and tank volume limits were subsequently re-analyzed to address the issue. These re-analyses were performed in order to error-adjust the surveillance procedure acceptance criteria while maintaining an acceptable operating band for the parameter. The nitrogen cover pressure analysis limits include approximately +/- 12 psig allowance for instrument error.

ECCS- Ope rati ng B 3.5.2 B 3.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS (ECCS)

B 3.5.2 ECCS-Operating BASES BACKGROUND The function of the ECCS is to provide core cooling to ensure that the reactor core is protected after any of the following accidents:

1. Loss of coolant accident (LOCA);
2. Steam generator tube rupture (SGTR); and
3. Steam line break (SLB).

There are two modes of ECCS operation: injection and recirculation. In the injection phase, all injection is initially added to the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) from the borated water storage tank (BWST). This injection flow is added via the RCS cold legs and core flood nozzles to the reactor vessel. After the BWST has been depleted to < 15 feet but > 7 feet, the ECCS recirculation phase is entered as the ECCS suction is manually transferred to the reactor building emergency surmg.

and =boron precipitation control Two redundant, 100% capacity trains are provided. Each train consists of high pressure injection (HPI) and low isinitiated. pressure injection (LPI) subsystems. In MODES 1, 2, and 3, both trains must be OPERABLE. This ensures that 100% of the core cooling requirements can be provided even in the event of a single active failure.

Certain size small break LOCA scenarios require emergency feedwater-to maintain steam generator cooling until core and atmospheric ecay eat can be removed solely by ECCS cooling.

dump valves (ADVs)  ! A suction header supplies water from the BWST or the reactor building emergency sump to the ECCS pumps. Separate piping supplies each train. Each HPI subsystem discharges into each of the four RCS cold legs between the reactor coolant pump and the reactor vessel. Each LPI subsystem discharges into its associated core flood nozzle on the reactor vessel and discharges into the vessel downcomer area. Control valves are set to balance the HPI flow to the RCS. This flow balance directs sufficient flow to the core to meet the analysis assumptions following a small break LOCA in one of the RCS cold legs near an HPI nozzle.

The HPI pumps are capable of discharging to the RCS at an RCS pressure above the opening setpoint of the pressurizer (continued)

ECCS-Operati ng B 3.5.2 BASES BACKGROUND safety valves. The LPI pumps are capable of discharging to (continued) the RCS at an RCS pressure of approximately 200 psia. When the BWST has been nearly emptied, the suction for the LPI pumps is manually transferred to the reactor building emergency sump. The HPI pumps cannot take suction directly from the sump. If HPI is still needed, a cross connect from the discharge side of the LPI pump to the suction of the HPI pumps would be opened. This is known as "piggy backing" HPI to LPI, and enables continued HPI to the RCS, if needed, after the BWST is emptied to the switchover point.

In the long term cooling period, flow paths in the LPI System can be established to preclude the possibility of boric acid in the core region reaching an unacceptably high r concentration.

During a large break LOCA, RCS pressure will decrease to

< 200 psi a in < 20 seconds. The ECCS is actuated upon receipt of an Engineered Safeguards Actuation System (ESAS) signal. The actuation of safeguard loads is accomplished in a programmed time sequence. If offsite power is available, the safeguard loads start immediately (in the programmed sequence). If offsite power is not available, the engineered safety feature (ESF) buses shed normal operating loads and are connected to the diesel generators. Safeguard loads are then actuated in the programmed time sequence.

The time delay associated with diesel starting, sequenced loading, and pump starting determines the time required (continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3. 5-10 Revision No. 37

Insert B 3.5.2-1 Boron precipitation control is accomplished via the LPI cross-tie line and the boron precipitation connection, which allows a portion of the LPI flow to be injected into the reactor core through the RCS hot leg. Because this flow will enter the hot leg (via the Decay Heat Removal System drop line) and exit through the break in the cold leg at a lower elevation, the boron concentration in the core will be controlled during the accident. The common hot leg injection (HLI) line is designed with two normally closed parallel safety-related motor-operated isolation valves that are used to initiate and terminate HLI as required during a LOCA.

Insert B SR 3.5.2.8-1 SR 3.5.2.8 Verification of proper valve position ensures that the LPI cross-tie flow path between LPI trains is maintained. Misalignment of these valves could render both ECCS trains inoperable.

Securing these valves in position by assuring the mechanism that locks, seals or secures the valves is intact ensures that the valves cannot change position as the result of an active failure.

These valves are similar to the type described in Reference 7, which can disable the function of both ECCS trains and invalidate the accident analyses. The 24 month Frequency is acceptable based on consideration of the design reliability of valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position. The 24 month Frequency is also based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance were performed with the reactor at power.

BWST B 3.5.4 BASES APPLICABLE positive suction head (NPSH) for the LPI and RB spray pumps.

SAFETY ANALYSIS This NPSH calculation is described in the FSAR (Ref. 1), and (continued) the amount of water that enters the sump from the BWST and other sources is one of the input assumptions. Since the BWST is the main source that contributes to the amount of water in the sump following a LOCA, the calculation does not take credit for more than the minimum volume of usable water from the BWST.

The third factor is that the volume of water in the BWST must be within a range that will ensure the solution in the sump following a LOCA is within a specified pH range (7.0 to 11.0) that will minimize the evolution of iodine and the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion cracking on the mechanical systems and components.

Although not related to ECCS, the volume range also ensures that refueling requirements are met and that the capacity of the BWST is not exceeded. Note that the volume limits refer to total, rather than usable, volume required to be in the BWST; a certain amount of water is unusable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics.

T 2-2 ppm limit for minimum boron concentration was established to ensure that, following a LOCA, with a minimum BWST level, the reactor will remain subcritical in the cold condition following mixing of the BWST and Reactor Coolant System (RCS) water volumes. Large break LOCAs assume that all control rods remain withdrawn from the core during the initial phases of the event, particularly blowdown. Long-term shutdown does require the negative reactivity from half or more (cycle-specific) of the rods.

The minimum and maximum concentration limits both ensure that the solution in the sump following a LOCA is within a specified pH range (7.0 to 11.0) that will minimize the evolution of iodine and the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion cracking on the mechanical systems and components.

The 3000 ppm maximum limit for boron concentration in the BWST is also based on the potential for boron precipitation in the core during the long term cooling period following a LOCA. For a cold leg break, the core dissipates heat by pool nucleate boiling. Because of this boiling phenomenon in the core, the boric acid concentration will increase in (continued)

BWST B 3.5.4 BASES APPLICABLE this region. If allowed to proceed in this manner, a SAFETY ANALYSIS point may be reached where boron precipitation will occur in (continued) the core. Post LOCA emergency procedures direct the operator to establish dilution flow paths in the LPI System to prevent this condition by establishing a forced flow path through the core regardless of break location. These procedures are based on the minimum time in which precipitation could occur, aissuming that maximum boron concentrations exist in the borated water sources used for injection following a LOCA. Boron concentrations in the BWST in excess of the limit could result in precipitation earlier than assumed in the analysis.

The 40°F lower limit on the temperature of the solution in the BWST was established to ensure that the solution will not freeze. This temperature also helps prevent boron precipitation and ensures that water injection in the reactor vessel will not be colder than the lowest bounded by temperature assumed in reactor vessel stress analysis.

Containment B 3.6.1 BASES BACKGROUND b. Each air lock is OPERABLE, except as provided in (continued) LCO 3.6.2, "Containment Air Locks".

APPLICABLE The safety design basis for the containment is that the SAFETY ANALYSES containment must withstand the pressures and temperatures of the limiting DBA without exceeding the design leakage rate.

The DBAs that result in a challenge to containment from high pressures and temperatures are a loss of coolant accident (LOCA), a steam line break, and a rod ejection accident (REA) (Ref. 2). In addition, release of significant fission product radioactivity within containment can occur from a LOCA or REA. In the analyses of DBAs involving release of fission product radioactivity, it is assumed that the containment is OPERABLE so that the release to the environment is controlled by the rate of containment leakage. The containment was designed with an allowable leakage rate of 0.25% of containment air weight per day (Ref. 3). This leakage rate, used in the evaluation of offsite doses resulting from accidents, is defined in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B kR-f--Re* , as La: the maximum allowable leakage rate at the calculated maximum peak containment pressure (P.) resulting from the limiting DBA. The allowable leakage rate represented by L forms the basis for the acceptance criteria imposed on all containment leakage rate testing. La is assumed to be 0.25% of wcontainment air weight per day in the safety analysis at with respect to the a psig(Ref.

Containment Air Locks B 3.6.2 BASES APPLICABLE The DBAs analyzed for dose consequences that result in a SAFETY ANALYSES release of radioactive material within containment are a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and a rod ejection accident (Ref. 2). In the analysis of each of these accidents, it is assumed that containment is OPERABLE so that release of fission products to the environment is controlled by the rate of containment leakage. The containment was designed with an allowable leakage rate of 0.25% of containment air weight per day (Ref. 3). This leakage rate is defined in 10 CFR 50, Appendix J (Ref. 1), as La: the maximum allowable containment leakage rate at the calculated maximum peak containment pressure (P.) following a DBA. This allowable leakage rate forms the basis for the acceptance criteria which is imposed on the SRs associated with the air lock. L is 0.25%

The dose acceptance criteria applied to DBA releases of radioactive material to the environment are given in 10 CFR 50.67 (Ref. 4).

The containment air locks satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Each containment air lock forms part of the containment pressure boundary. As a part of containment, the air lock safety function is related to control of the containment leakage rate resulting from a DBA. Thus, each air lock's structural integrity and leak tightness are essential to the successful mitigation of such an event.

Containment Pressure B 3.6.4 B 3.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS B 3.6.4 Containment Pressure BASES BACKGROUND The containment pressure is limited during normal operation to preserve the initial conditions assumed in the accident analyses for a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) or steam line break (SLB). These limits also prevent the containment pressure from exceeding the containment design negative pressure differential with respect to the outside atmosphere in the event of inadvertent actuation of the Reactor Building Spray System.

Containment pressure is a process variable that is monitored and controlled. The containment pressure limits are derived from the input conditions used in the containment functional analyses and the containment structure external pressure analysis. Should operation occur outside these limits coincident with a Design Basis Accident (DBA), post accident pressures could exceed calculated values.

APPLICABLE Containment internal pressure is an initial condition used SAFETY ANALYSES in the DBA analyses to establish the maximum peak containment internal pressure. The limiting DBAs Tconsidered, relative to containment pressure, are the LOCA ein tpressurecondition and SLB. The worst-case LOCA generates larger mass and cusedaintheLOCA s energy release than the worst-case SLB. Thus, the LOCA containment analysis was event bounds the SLB event from the containment peak 16.2.psa(1.5psig) and pressure standpoint (Ref. 1).

teContainment average air temperature satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO During a DB , with an initial containment arithmetic average air temperature less than or equal to the LCO temperature limit, the resultant peak accident temperature is maintained below the containment design temperature. As a result, the ability of containment to perform its design function is ensured.

The numerical limit in the LCO has not been adjusted to account for instrument error.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material to containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES.

Therefore, maintaining containment average air temperature within the limit is not required in MODE 5 or 6.

Reactor Building Spray and Containment Cooling Systems B 3.6.6 BASES BACKGROUND Containment Cooling System (continued)

Upon receipt of a high reactor building pressure ES signal (4 psig), the two operating cooling fans running at high speed will automatically stop. One cooling unit fan will automatically restart and run at low speed, provided normal or emergency power is available. In post accident operation following an actuation signal, one Containment Cooling System fan will start automatically in slow speed if one is not already running. If the lead fan fails to start or trips, a second fan will automatically start in slow speed.

A fan is operated at the lower speed during accident conditions to prevent motor overload from the higher density atmosphere. The automatic changeover valves operate to provide Nuclear Service Closed Cycle Cooling (SW) System flow to the cooling units and isolate the CI System flow.

APPLICABLE The RB Spray System and Containment Cooling System limit the SAFETY ANALYSES temperature and pressure that could be experienced following Ta DBA.

Reactor Building Spray and Containment Cooling Systems B 3.6.6 BASES APPLICABLE The effect of an inadvertent RB spray actuation has also SAFETY ANALYSIS been analyzed. An inadvertent spray actuation results in a (continued) 2.5 psig containment pressure drop and is associated with the sudden cooling effect in the interior of the leak tight containment. Additional discussion is provided in the Bases for LCO 3.6.4.

The modeled RB Spray System actuation from the containment analyses is based on a response time associated with exceeding the RB pressure High-High setpoint coincident with a high pressure injection start permit actuation signal to achieve full flow through the containment spray nozzles.

The Containment Spray System total response time of 90 seconds includes emergency diesel generator (EDG) startup (for loss of offsite power), block loading of equipment, spray pump startup, and spray line filling (Ref. 2).

The analysis results also indicate that with Containment cooling train performance for post accident Sno RB cooling trains conditions is given in Reference 3. The result of the analysis is that one train of RB cooling will contribute OPERABLE, two trains sufficient peak cooling capacity during the post accident 0of RB spray will condition in conjunction with one RB spray train to successfully limit peak successfully limit pea 'cQtainment pressure and temperature containment pressure to less than design value-.

The modeled Containment Cooling System actuation from the containment analysis is based on a response time associated with exceeding the containment pressure high setpoint to achieve full Containment Cooling System air and safety grade cooling water flow. The Containment Cooling System total response time of 25 seconds includes signal delay, EDG startup (for loss of offsite power), and service water pump startup times (Ref. 3).

The Reactor Building Spray System and the Containment Cooling System satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

MSSVs B 3.7.1 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.1 Main Steam Safety Valves (MSSVs)

BASES BACKGROUND The principal function of the main steam safety valves (MSSVs) is to provide overpressure protection for the Main Steam (MS) System. In doing so, the MSSVs also provide a heat sink for removal of energy from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) should the preferred heat sink provided by the main condenser and Circulating Water System not be available.

There are a total of 16 MSSVs, four located on each main steam line upstream of the main steam isolation valves within the intermediate building. The MSSV capacity and pressure relief setpoints are determined in accordance with Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1971 Edition (Ref. 1). This Code specifies that sufficient relief capacity must be provided to prevent transient pressures from exceeding 110% of the MS System design pressure. Additionally, the Code requires that at least one MSSV be set at or below the MS System design pressure.

Therefore, the lowest relief setpoint valves (two per OTSG) are set at 1050 psig. The remaining MSSVs are set at staggered lift setpoints up to 1100 psig so that only the number of valves needed to provide relief capacity will be actuated. The use of staggered setpoints also reduces the potential for valve chattering and provides for a more controlled release of steam than would occur if all MSSVs actuated at the same pressure.

The MSSVs are designed to be capable of relieving approximately 11.9 million lbm/hr steam at the MS System design pressure of 1050 psig. This relief capacity *s app3r-exrm-4e1-122 % of the 1S-1s-t-em-desi-ng-f~lew--fate, provides *pr-evi-d4-n~g allowance for the nuclear overpower trip setting and associated instrument error (Ref. 2).

Fourteen of the 16 MSSVs are identical in design, having only relief setpoint differences. Each of these valves has an orifice size of 4.515 inches and a relief capacity of (continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-1 Amendment No. 149

MSSVs B 3.7.1 BASES BACKGROUND 845,759 Ibm/hr at design conditions. The remaining two (continued) MSSVs (MSV-40 and MSV-48) provide less relief capacity than the others, having a flow orifice of 3.750 inches and a relief capacity of 583,574 ibm/hr at design conditions.

APPLICABLE The design basis of the MSSVs is established by the ASME SAFETY ANALYSIS Code and is to provide overpressure protection for the MS System and steam generators (OTSGs). The events which challenge the MSSV relieving capabilities are those resulting in decreased RCS heat removal. Typical events analyzed include:

0 Turbine generator trip (Ref. 3) 0 Loss of offsite power (Ref. 4) 0 Loss of main feedwater (Ref. 5) 0 Steam generator tube rupture (Ref. 6)

Of these events, the transient which results in the largest pressure spike and therefore the most severe challenge to the MSSV relief capacity was the turbine generator trip (Ref. 3). For this event the overpressure protection analysis assumed that the plant was operating just under the nuclear overpower reactor trip setpoint and the turbine bypass valves did not actuate (Ref. 7). The OPERABILITY of the MSSVs was required to prevent the MS System from exceeding 110% of system design pressure.

The MSSVs satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement>. I-LCO The MSSV setpoints are established to prevent overpressurization as discussed in the Applicable Safety Analysis section of these Bases. The LCO requires a varying secondary side relief capacity (number of MSSVs required to be OPERABLE) dependent on power level and nuclear overpower trip setpoint. Additionally, one valve on each OTSG must have a lift setpoint of 1050 psig (+/- 3%) in order to meet Code requirements. Two valves are set to a nominal lift (continued)

REQUIREMENTS The ANSI/ASME Standard requires the testing of all valves every 5 years, with a minimum of 20% of the valves tested every 24 months. Reference 8 provides the activities and frequencies necessary to satisfy the requirements.

Table 3.7.1-1 allows a +/- 3% setpoint tolerance for OPERABILITY; however, valves removed for maintenance or testing are required to be reset to +/- 1% following re-installation in order to allow for drift. Administrative limits on the as-left low-end MSSV setpoint (i.e. 1050 psig,

-1%) have been established to reduce the probability of an inadvertent opening of the valve during normal plant operation.

This SR is modified by a Note that provides an SR 3.0.4 type exception and allows entry into and operation in MODE 3 prior to performing the SR. The MSSVs may be either bench tested or tested in situ at hot conditions using an assist device to simulate lift pressure. If the MSSVs are not tested at hot conditions, the lift setting pressure is corrected to ambient conditions of the valve at operating temperature and pressure.

MSIVs B 3.7.2 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.2 Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs)

BASES BACKGROUND The principal function of the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) is to isolate steam flow from the secondary side of the steam generators (OTSGs) following a steam line break (SLB). A transient such as increased steam flow through the turbine bypass valves causing low steam generator pressure would also be terminated by closure of the MSIVs.

One MSIV is located in each of four main steam lines outside, but close to, containment. The MSIVs are located downstream of the main steam safety valves (MSSVs) and steam supply lines to the emergency feedwater (EFW) pump turbine to prevent isolation of these critical steam loads in the event of MSIV closure. Closure of the MSIVs isolates the OTSGs from the turbine, turbine bypass valves, and other auxiliary steam loads.

The MSIVs are spring actuated, pneumatically-operated valves which are opened/assisted-closed by instrument air pressure (Ref. 1). These valves close on receipt of a main steam line isolation signal generated by the Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Control (EFIC) System based upon low OTSG pressure. The main steam lines can also be manually isolated from the control room.

A description of the MSIVs is contained in FSAR, Section 10.2.1.4 (Ref. 2). In isolating the main steam lines, the MSIVs satisfy 10 CFR 50 Appendix A General Design Criteria (GDC) 57 requirements for isolation of closed system lines which penetrate containment (Ref. 3).

MSIVs B 3.7.2 BASES APPLICABLE There are several reasons why all MSIVs are isolated on an SAFETY ANALYSIS EFIC MS isolation, including those on the intact generator.

(continued) Restricting the blowdown to a single OTSG is necessary to limit the positive reactivity effects associated with the resulting Reactor Coolant System (RCS) cooldown, as well as to prevent containment overpressurization in the event of a break within the reactor building coincident with the failure of feedwater to isolate. (Ref. 4). Additionally, MSIV closure ensures that at least one OTSG remains available for RCS cooldown and capable of supplying steam to the turbine driven EFW pump.

Several SLB variations are considered in the accident analysis. Steam line isolation prevents a single break from affecting both OTSGs, allowing the unaffected OTSG to be used for RCS heat removal. A controlled cooldown can then be maintained, through operation of the EFW system and steam relief through the atmospheric dump valves or turbine bypass valves.

In the event of a single MSIV failure coincident with an SLB accident, closure of the three remaining MSIVs will prevent continued, simultaneous blowdown of both OTSGs. Thus, the accident analysis has shown the SLB can be mitigated even with the failure of a single MSIV.

In contrast with the postulate SLB events, the MSIVs are assumed to be open following steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accident. Followin SGTR, activity and inventory contained within the RCS eaked into the MS System, where l-s

In the evaluation of offsite dose following a SGTR, the turbine bypass valves (TBVs) were used to establish and maintain RCS cooldown, directing the leaked reactor coolant to the condenser. Within the condenser, a partial removal of iodine was considered, effectively reducing the total quantity of radioactivity contributing to the post-accident offsite dose. Although the resultant offsite dose is predicted to be c-s-ie-s T-ab1-y less than the guidelines of 10 CFR 50.67, the ability to maintain the MSIVs open is essential to keeping offsite doses within analyzed values (Ref. 5).

The MSIVs satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

TBVs B 3.7.4 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.4 Turbine Bypass Valves (TBVs)

BASES BACKGROUND The TBVs provide a method for cooling the plant to Decay Heat Removal (DHR) System entry conditions via the main condenser. Following an accident, this is done in conjunction with the Emergency Feedwater (EFW) System, providing flow from the EFW tank (EFT-2). There are four air-operated TBVs, two per steam generator (OTSG). The 5.68 TBVs are located downstream of the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) and other remote power-operated isolation valves to permit the valves t be isolated if necessary.

the valves are capable of cooling down the plant at the design rate of 100°F/hour (Ref. 1). All four TBVs are controllable from the Main Control Board as well as local manual at the valves themselves. The TBVs are not available following a loss of offsite power (LOOP) due to the loss of the Circulating Water System and eventually the condenser. However, the licensing basis for the Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) accident does not require a LOOP be assumed.

APPLICABLE The TBVs are assumed to be used by the operator to cool down SAFETY ANALYS 'IS the plant following the design basis SGTR event (Ref. 2).

The initiating event is a double-ended rupture of a single OTSG tube, resulting in a primary to secondary leak rate ef 43-5--"pm; too large for normal makeup to compensate. RCS pressure decreases to the Reactor Protection System (RPS) low-pressure trip setpoint and the reactor is automatically shut down. In turn, the turbine trips and the OTSGs are isolated. Prior to operator actions to cool down the unit, Iover a short period the TBVs, ADVs, and the main steam safety valves (MSSVs) are assumed to operate automatically to relieve steam and maintain the OISG's pressure an temp ,ature below the immediately following design value.

This is significant in terms of offsite dose consequences resulting from the SGTR. A gas-liquid partition factor for iodine of 1.0 E-4 was assumed for releases occurring through the condenser. Releases directly to the atmosphere assume a partition factor of 1.0. Offsite doses calculated from the event are directly proportional to the value assumed for the partition factor. Thus, proper operation of the TBVs is necessary to maintain econsequences associated with a SGTR to a minimum (Ref.

The TBVs satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

TBVs B 3.7.4 BASES (continued)

LCO Each TBV (two per OTSG) is required to be OPERABLE for this LCO. Failure to meet the LCO can result in the inability to cooldown to DHR System entry conditions following a SGTR event while maintaining offsite doses to a minimum. A TBV is considered OPERABLE when it is capable of providing a controlled relief of the main steam flow, and is capable of fully opening and closing when manually commanded to do so by the operator.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the pressures and temperatures in the RCS are high enough to initiate a SGTR and require secondary side depressurization. Therefore, the TBVs are required to be OPERABLE in these MODES.

In MODES 4, 5, and 6, a SGTR is not a credible event due to the reduced stresses in the generator tubes and low driving head for release to the environment.

ACTIONS A.1 and A.2 With one or more TBV(s) inoperable, action must be taken to restore all TBVs to OPERABLE status. The 7 day Completion Time is reasonable to repair inoperable TBVs, based on the availability of other means of depressurizing the RCS following a SGTR, and the low probability of this event occurring during the 7 day period. As an alternative to restoring the TBV(s) to OPERABLE status, the associated OTSG nADV must be verified to be OPERABLE within 7 days.

Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.4.1 REQUIREMENTS To perform a controlled cooldown of the RCS, the TBVs must be able to be opened remotely and throttled through their full range. This SR ensures that the TBVs are tested through a full control cycle at least once per fuel cycle.

Cycling TBVs during plant heatup satisfies this requirement.

Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 24 month Frequency. Therefore, the Frequency was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint.

EFW System B 3.7.5 BASES BACKGROUND The preferred water source for both EFW pump trains is the (continued) Seismic Class I, missile protected dedicated EFW tank.

Backup supplies of emergency feedwater are provided by the condensate storage tank and the Fire Service Water Storage Tanks. The main condenser hotwell can also supply the turbine driven EFW pump and the defense-in-depth motor driven EFW pump.

The pumps and OTSGs are protected from excessively high flow induced problems by cavitating venturis (EF-62-FO, EF-63-FO, and EF-64-FO) in the pump discharge lines, designed to limit EFW flow to the steam generators regardless of steam generator pressure (Ref. 7). In addition, the interlock between the motor driven and diesel driven EFW pumps and administrative controls preclude excessively high flow to the OTSGs from concurrent operation of all three EFW pumps.

DC powered block and control valves are actuated to feed the appropriate steam generator by the Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Control (EFIC) System. The capacity of either EFW pump is sufficient to remo 'e decay heat and cool the plant until the Reactor Coolant S tem (RCS) pressure and temperature are low enough to plac the Decay Heat Removal (DHR) System in service or until ore decay heat can be removed solely by ECCS.

inimum flow instruments are provided to protect the associated EFW pump from overheating when the pump is operating and the associated injection flow to the OTSGs is low. The pump recirculation the line valve is opened valve is automatically closed when the low EFW flow ispump sensed, flow and is adequate to protect the pump.

EFW System B 3.7.5 BASES APPLICABLE The EFW System is designed to remain functional following SAFETY ANALYSES the maximum hypothetical earthquake. It will also remain (continued) functional following a single failure in addition to any of the above events. No single failure prevents EFW from being supplied to the intact OTSG nor allows EFW to be supplied to the faulted OTSG. Note that in most cases of a main feedwater break or a steam line break, the depressurization of the affected OTSG would cause the automatic initiation of EFW. However, there will be some small break sizes for which automatic detection will not be possible. For these small breaks, the operator will have sufficient time in which to take appropriate action to terminate the event (Ref. 1).

The EFW System satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Two independent emergency feedwater pumps and their associated flow paths are required to be OPERABLE. The OPERABILITY of the EFW pumps requires that each be capable of developing its required discharge pressure and flow.

Additionally, the OPERABILITY of the turbine driven pump requires that it be capable of being powered from an OPERABLE steam supply through ASV-5. ASV-204 was installed to improve EFW reliability and is not required for OPERABILITY.

The motive power for the turbine driven pump is steam supplied from either OTSG from a main steam header upstream of the main steam isolation valves so that their closure does not isolate the steam supply to the turbine. Both steam supply flow paths through MSV-55 and MSV-56 (Condition A) to the turbine driven pump are required to be OPERABLE.

The OPERABILITY of the associated EFW flow paths requires all valves be in their correct positions or be capable of sactuating to their correct positions on a valid actuation

,signal.

The diesel driven EFW pump has a starting air system consisting of a safety-related air receiver that is maintained pressurized by a non-safety-related air compressor. The requirements for the air receiver are covered by Specification 3.7.19. The air is delivered to the diesel engine through DC powered valves. The DC power is provided by the diesel driven EFW pump DC distribution system battery.

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-25 Amendment No. 182

Insert B 3.7.5-1 Additionally, EFW pump low flow instrumentation is required to be OPERABLE and capable of opening the associated recirculation line isolation valve to ensure pump protection and closing the associated recirculation line isolation valve in sufficient time to ensure that EFW discharge flow to the OTSGs as assumed during transients and accidents is met.

EFW System B 3.7.5 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.5.5 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS of EFW flow paths must be demonstrated before sufficient core heat is generated that would require the operation of the EFW System during a subsequent shutdown. The Frequency is reasonable, based on engineering judgment, in view of other administrative controls to ensure that the flow paths are OPERABLE. To further ensure EFW System alignment, flow path OPERABILITY is verified, following extended outages to determine no misalignment of valves has occurred. This SR ensures that the flow path from the EFW tank to the OTSGs is properly aligned. This requirement is based upon the recommendation of NUREG 0737. The Frequency was modified slightly during ITS development (prior to entering MODE 2) to provide an SR 3.0.4 type exception. As written, the SR allows the plant to achieve and maintain MODE 3 conditions in order to perform the verification.

SR 3.7.5.6 Verifying battery terminal voltage ensures the ability of the battery to perform the intended function. The voltage requirements are based on the nominal design voltage of the InsrbBSR 3 7 5 j-2 attery. The 7 day frequency is consistent with IEEE-450.

Insert B SR 3.7.5-2 SR 3.7.5.7 The CHANNEL CALIBRATION of the required EFW pump low flow instrumentation ensures the EFW pump minimum flow instruments open the associated EFW pump recirculation line isolation valves to provide pump low flow protection and close the associated EFW pump recirculation line isolation valves in time to ensure adequate EFW discharge flow to the OTSGs as assumed in the safety analysis.

CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument channel including the sensor.

The test verifies the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channels adjusted to account for instrument drift to ensure that the instrument channel remains operational between successive tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that measurement errors and bistable setpoint errors are within the assumptions of the EFW pump low flow instrumentation calculations. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions of the loss of feedwater and main feedwater line break accident analysis.

The Frequency is based on the assumption of a 24 month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the EFW pump low flow instrumentation calculations.

EE A EmeragenEy Feedwat-e Tank B 3.7.6 BASES APPLICABLE was not used as an input to these safety analyses, SAFETY ANALYSES OPERABILITY of the EFW System, and therefore the (continued) EFW tank, is essential to the mitigation of the following events (Ref. 3):

M Loss of main feedwater (LMFW)

M LMFW with a loss of offsite power M Main feedwater line break 0 Main steam line break M Small break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) atleastl1 The required minimum volume of usable condensate in/the EFW tank is 150,000 gallons. This amount is sufficient to remove decay heat for a period of appr-*-i-matelSy-4 hours at MODE 3 conditions (Ref. 4). This time period is considered adequate to allow plant conditions to be stabilized and another source of water to be made available for natural circulation cooldown until MODE 4 is achieved. In MODE 4, the RCS pressure will be decreased to the point that allows the alignment of the Decay Heat Removal (DHR) System to the RCS.

Although the single failure criteria is applicable to the EFW System in the evaluation of the previously mentioned events, the EFW tank performs its safety function in a passive manner and is thereby excluded from application of the single failure criterion.

The EFW tank satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO In the event of a loss of offsite power, or other condition resulting in a complete loss of main feedwater, a means of removing heat from the RCS must be immediately available.

The EFW tank minimum usable water volume limit of 150,000 gallons is necessary to provide assurance that the EFW System can supply the volume of secondary coolant needed to remove decay heat in MODE 3 conditions for approex-imat-eLqy-y- I hours (Ref. 4) while other sources of water are made available for subsequent cooldown to below 280 degrees, if required. a 0 Compliance with the LCO is verified by maintaining tank level at or above the minimum required level.

CREVS B 3.7.12 BASES BACKGROUND exhaust fan are de-energized and their corresponding (continued) isolation dampers close. The return fan, normal filters, normal fan, and the cooling (or heating) coils remain in operation in a recirculating mode.

Upon detection of high radiation by RM-A5 the system switches to the emergency recirculation mode. In this mode, the dampers that isolate the CCHE from the surroundings will automatically close. The CA fume hood exhaust fan, CA fume hood auxiliary supply fan, CA exhaust fan, normal supply fan, and return Van are tripped and their corresponding isolation dampers close. Manual action is required to restart the return fan and place the emergency fans and filters in operation. The cooling (or heating) coils remain in operation.

The CREVS is designed to maintain a habitable envi ronment in the CCHE for 30 days of continuous occupancy after a DBA, without exceeding a 5 rem total effective dose equivalent (TEDE).

Qualitative limits for chemical hazards and smoke were established based on the May 12, 2006 NRC meeting minutes located in the NRC Agencywide Documents and Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML061310293.

APPLICABLE During emergency operations the design basis of the CREVS and SAFETY ANALYSIS the CCHE is to provide radiation protection to the control room occupants. The limiting accident which may threaten the habitability of the control room (i.e., accidents resulting in release of airborne radioactivity) is the postulated Cd Ej."tion accident. The consequences of this ey.nt result in the limiting radiological source loss of coolant of......nt i-ter-m-The CREVS the the CCHEroom and control habitability evaluation (Ref. 2).

ensures that the control room will accident remain habitable following all postulated design basis events, maintaining exposures to control room occupants within the limits of GDC 19 of 10 CFR 50 Appendix A (Ref.

3).

The analysis for toxic gas states that dangerous chemicals are not stored at the Crystal River Enerqy Complex in sufficient quantities to exceed established limits in the CCHE. However, the analysis of hazardous chemical releases also demonstrates operator actions can be taken to ensure that the toxicity limits are not exceeded prior to donning protective equipment in the CCHE following a hazardous chemical release.

The method of detection will be nasal detection. The CREVS can also be used to provide protection from smoke hazards for the CCHE occupants. Upon nasal detection of smoke outside of the CCHE, the Control Room staff will isolate the CCHE in the recirculation mode of CREVs as necessary, based on changing environmental conditions.

The CREVS is not in the primary success path for any accident analysis. However, the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System meets Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement since long term control room habitability is essential to mitigation of accidents resulting in atmospheric fission product release.

Fuel Storage Pool Water Level B 3.7.13 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.13 Fuel Storage Pool Water BASES BACKGROUND The water contained in the spent fuel pool provides a medium for removal of decay heat from the stored fuel elements, normally via the spent fuel cooling system. In the event fuel pool cooling is lost when the pool is 140°F, assuming a full core is discharged under the conditions of Reference 1, the pool volume provides approximately 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> before boiling would occur (Ref. 1). The spent fuel pool water also provides shielding to reduce the general area radiation dose during both spent fuel handling and storage.

Although maintaining adequate spent fuel pool water level is essential to both decay heat removal and shielding effectiveness, the Technical Specification minimum water level limit is based upon maintaining the pool's iodine retention effectiveness consistent with that assumed in the evaluation of a fuel handling accident (FHA). The fuel handling accident described in FSAR Section 14.2.2.3 (Ref.

Fuel Storage Pool Water Level B 3.7.13 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.13.1 REQUIREMENTS The water level in the fuel storage pool must be checked periodically. Since there is no mechanism for inadvertently lowering the level during normal operations (changes in level are procedurally controlled) and there is a low level alarm should pool level drop to approximately 24 feet above the stored fuel assemblies, a 7 day Frequency is sufficient to provide assurance of adequate water level. The Frequency is based on engineering judgment and industry-accepted practice. When refueling operations are taking place, the level in the fuel pool is at equilibrium with that in the refueling canal and in the reactor vessel. The level in the refueling canal is verified daily by the performance of SR 3.9.6.1.

Spent Fuel Assembly Storage B 3.7.15 BASES (Rf.5)

BACKGROUND Both of the spent fuel pools are constructed of reinforced (continued) concrete and lined with stainless steel plate. They are located in the fuel handling area of the auxiliary buildingi New fuel storage requirements are addressed in Section 4.0, "Design Features".

APPLICABLE The function of the spent fuel storage racks is to support SAFETY ANALYSES and protect spent fuel assemblies from the time they are placed in the pool until they are shipped offsite. The spent fuel assembly storage LCO was derived from the need to establish limiting conditions on fuel storage to assure sufficient safety margin exists to prevent inadvertent criticality. The spent fuel assemblies are stored entirely underwater in a configuration that has been shown to result in a reactivity of less than or equal to 0.95 under worse case conditions (Ref. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9). The spent fuel assembly enrichment requirements in this LCO are required to ensure inadvertent criticality does not occur in the spent fuel pool.

Inadvertent criticality within the fuel storage area could result in offsite radiation doses exceeding 10 CFR 50.67 limits (

The spent fuel assembly storage satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Limits on the new and irradiated fuel assembly storage in high density racks were established to ensure the assumptions of the criticality safety analysis of the spent fuel pools is maintained.

Limits on initial fuel enrichment and burnup for both new and for spent fuel stored in pool A have been established.

Two limits are defined:

1. Initial fuel enrichment must be less than or equal to 5.0 weight percent U-235, and (continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-73 Revision No. 67

Secondary Specific Activity B 3.7.16 BASES APPLICABLE A complete loss of AC power and a steam generator tube SAFETY ANALYSIS rupture (SGTR) are two events that also result in offsite (continued) release of secondary coolant activity through the MSSVs and atmospheric dump valves. In the case of a complete loss of AC power, the quantity of secondary coolant released to the atmosphere could be greater than during a SLB. However, the overall offsite dose is considerably lower, since the primary to secondary leakage path will be isolated much earlier following an AC power loss than after a SLB (Ref.

6). The specific activity limit on secondary coolant helps ensure the dose from a loss of AC power will be bounded by a SLB accident.

In the case of a SGTR, the activityyre cased from secondary side pre-break activity is *-ns c compared to the activity released from the primary to secondary break flow.

LCO The specific activity of the secondary coolant system is required to be < 4.5 E-4 microcuries per gram DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 (Ref. 7).

A secondary coolant system specific activity within this limit ensures that the offsite dose contribution of the secondary coolant activity does not exceed values considered in the safety analysis. Maintaining steam generator specific activity within this limit will ensure that the postulated post-accident doses will remain significantly less than the guideline values of 10 CFR 50.67 (Ref. 8).

APPLICABILITY The limits for secondary coolant specific activity apply whenever the steam generators are required for RCS heat removal. During these conditions, the potential exists for radioactive releases to the environment via normal steam, condensate, and feedwater leakage, or as the result of a steam line failure.

In MODES 5 and 6, the steam generators are not required for RCS heat removal. Both the RCS and secondary coolant systems are depressurized, and the potential for primary to secondary leakage is minimal.

(continued)

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-79 Revision No. 67

Secondary Specific Activity B 3.7.16 BASES ACTIONS A.1 and A.2 DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 exceeding the allowable value in the secondary coolant would result in unanalyzed offsite doses in the event of an accident. Thus, the plant must be placed in at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and in MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.16.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies that the secondary specific activity is within the limits of the accident analysis. A gamma isotopic analysis of the secondary coolant, which determines DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, confirms the validity of the safety analysis assumptions with respect to offsite releases. It also aids in the trending and identification of increasing isotopic concentrations that might indicate changes in reactor coolant LEAKAGE. The 31 day Frequency is based on the existence of other Surveillance Requirements to monitor activity and primary to secondary leakage rate and the existence of alarms and indications of these parameters in the control room.

Steam Generator Level B 3.7.17 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.17 Steam Generator Level BASES BACKGROUND The principal operational function of the steam generators (OTSGs) is to provide superheated steam at a constant pressure (900 psia) over the power range. OTSG water inventory is maintained large enough to provide adequate primary to secondary heat transfer. Mass inventory and indicated water level in the OTSG increases with load as the length of the four heat transfer regions within the OTSG vary. Inventory is controlled indirectly as a function of power and maintenance of a constant average primary system temperature by the feedwater controls in the Integrated Control System.

The maximum operating OTSG level is based primarily on preserving the initial condition assumptions for OTSG inventory used in the FSAR steam line break (SLB) analysis (Ref. 1). An inventory of 62,600 lbm was used in this initial analysis for the original OTSG. The 62,600 lbm was Fb-e-leteExtra Space based upon concerns of a possible return to criticality because of primary sid cooling following an SLB and the maximum pressure in the reactor building. S .

For a clean replacement OTSG, thej ass water in the steam inventory at 100% power is approximately 48,G0OO lbm. As an lines.

In matching unit data of 5000 startup level versus power, OTSG performance codes have shown that fouling of the lower tube support plates does not significantly change the heat transfer characteristics of generator. Thus, the steam temperature, or superheat, is not degraded due to the fouling of the tube support plates, and mass inventory changes are mainly due to the added level in the downcomer.

Analytically, increasing the fouling of the OTSG tube surfaces degrades the heat transfer capability, increases the mass inventory, and decreases the steam superheat at (continued)

The limiting curve, which was determined from several steam generator performance code runs at a power level of 100%,

conservatively bounds steam generator mass inventory value when operating at power levels < 100%. 680001bm The points displayed in Figure 3.7.17-1,\/in the accompanying LCO, are the intercept points of the 56,340 1b-mas-s value and the operating range level and steam superheat values for the er!?,inaj _fTSGs. or ~the--replacc-Ement OTFSGs a s-e..nda.ry si.de i.nv.nt.ry of 62,0 1..bm-4s-be*.d.ed 'F1-.y

The OTSG performance analysis also indicated that startup and full range level instruments are inadequate indicators of steam generator mass inventory at high power levels due to the combination of static and dynamic pressure losses.

If the water level should rise above the 96% upper limit, the steam superheat would tend to decrease due to reduced feedwater heating through the aspirator ports. Normally, a reduction in water level is manually initiated to maintain steam flow through the aspirator port by reducing the power level. Thus, the superheat versus level limitation also tends to ensure that, in normal operation, water level will remain clear of the aspirator ports.

Feedwater nozzle flooding would impair feedwater heating, and could result in excessive tube to shell temperature differentials, excessive tubesheet temperature differentials, and large variations in pressurizer level.

APPLICABLE The limiting Design Basis Accident with respect to OTSG SAFETY ANALYSES operating level is a steam line break (Reference 1). The parameter of interest is the mass of water, or inventory, contained in the steam generator due to its role in lowering Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature (return to criticality concern), and in raising containment pressure during an SLB accident. A larger inventory causes the 6effects of the accident to be more severe.

Diesl D EFW Pump Fuel Oil, Lube Oil and Starting Air B 3.7.19 BASES LCO inventory supports the availability of the DD-EFW Pump to (continued) fulfill its mission of supplying EFW flow to one or both steam generators. The DD-EFW pump is required to provide emergency feedwater to one or two steam generators under the EFIC flow control scheme for an anticipated operational occurrence (AO0) or a postulated DBA with loss of offsite power.

The starting air system is required to have a minimum capacity for six successive engine start attempts without recharging the air start receivers. As such, the air start compressors are not addressed as a part of this (or any other) LCO.

APPLICABILITY Emergency feedwater flow is required during a Small Break LOCA or loss of main feedwater in order to cool and depressurize one or both generators which supports the reactor shut down and maintains it in a safe shutdown condition after an AO0 or a postulated DBA. Since stored diesel fuel oil, lube oil, and the starting air subsystem support DD-EFW Pump OPERABILITY, these features are required to be within limits whenever the DD-EFW pump is required to be OPERABLE.

ACTIONS A.1 ý8600 ~9O With total fuel oil volume in the supply tank <

Diesel Driven EFW Pump Fuel Oil, Lube Oil and Starting Air B 3.7.19 BASES ACTIONS D.1 With the new fuel oil properties defined in the Bases for SR 3.7.19.3 (fuel oil surveillance testing) not within the required limits, a period of 30 days is allowed for restoring the stored fuel oil properties prior to declaring the associated DD-EFW Pump inoperable. This period provides sufficient time to test the stored fuel oil to determine that the new fuel oil, when mixed with previously stored fuel oil, remains acceptable, or to restore the stored fuel oil properties. This restoration may involve feed and bleed, filtering, or combinations of these procedures. Even if the DD-EFW Pump start and load was required during this time and the fuel oil properties were outside limits, there is a high likelihood that the DD-EFW Pump would still be capable of performing its intended function.

E.1 EFP-3 is equipped with two redundant banks of starting air receivers and associated components (air start motors, solenoid valves, etc.). Only one of these banks is requi red for pe--a- M-]-.

FOPERABI'LITY With starting air receiver pressure < 177 psig, sufficient capacity for six successive DD-EFW Pump start attempts does not exist. However, as long as the receiver pressure is >

150 psig, there is adequate capacity for at least one start attempt, and the DD-EFW Pump can be considered OPERABLE while the air receiver pressure is restored to the required limit.

A period of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> is considered sufficient to complete restoration to the required pressure prior to declaring the DD-EFW Pump inoperable. This period is acceptable based on the remaining air start capacity, the fact that most diesel engine starts are accomplished on the first attempt, and the low probability of an event occurring during this brief period.

F.1 With a Required Action and associated Completion Time not met, with fuel oil, lube oil, or starting air subsystems not within limits for reasons other than addressed by Conditions A through E, the DD-EFW Pump must be immediately declared inoperable. In this case, the ACTION for Specification 3.7.5, is entered.

The 7 days is sufficient time to place the plant in a safe shutdown condition and to bring in replenishment fuel from an offsite location.

The 31 day Frequency is adequate to ensure that a sufficient supply of fuel oil is available, since low level alarms are provided and the likelihood of any large reductions (use or leakage) of fuel oil during this period would be detected.

SR 3.7.19.2

ý10CFR50 This Surveillance ensures that sufficient lube oil inventory is available to support at least 7 days of operation of DD-EFW Pump assumingýAppendix K decay heat removal EFW flow requirements. The 207 gallon requirement is based on DD-EFW Pump lube oil consumption test data.

The stored lube oil volume does not include the lube oil contained in the sump.

A 31 day Frequency is adequate to ensure that a sufficient lube oi l supply is onsite, since DD-EFW pump starts and run time are closely monitored by the plant staff.

linsert B 3.7.20 1 FCS B 3.7.20 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.20 Fast Cooldown System (FCS)

BASES BACKGROUND The atmospheric dump valves (ADVs) may be required to mitigate the effects of a small break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA) when THERMAL POWER is above the pre-extended power uprate (EPU) power limit of 2609 MWt.

On loss of sustained sub-cooling margin (SCM) and inadequate High Pressure Injection (HPI) System flow, secondary depressurization is achieved via the FCS, which includes automatic actuation of the ADVs.

There are two air-operated ADVs, one per Once Through Steam Generator (OTSG). Each ADV is equipped with two pressure controllers to permit control of OTSG pressure. The ADVs are normally controlled by the Emergency Feedwater Initiation and Control (EFIC)

System pressure controllers and are equipped with control stations in the control room should manual control be necessary. The EFIC System pressure controllers and manual control stations are not considered part of this Specification.

When fast RCS cooldown is required, control of ADVs is automatically transferred to the FCS pressure controllers. Upon an FCS actuation, each FCS controller automatically modulates its ADV to maintain the associated OTSG at the required pressure.

Instrumentation requirements associated with FCS actuation are provided in LCO 3.3.19,"Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS) Instrumentation,"

and LCO 3.3.20, "Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System (ICCMS) Automatic Actuation Logic."

The FCS automatic transfer circuit and pressure controllers are provided with dedicated 24 VDC power supplies (two batteries and associated chargers to each ADV) which ensure power is available to the FCS during an event concurrent with a loss of offsite power (LOOP). During a SBLOCA, the FCS is assumed to be energized to its proper voltage from the associated safety related batteries, with one battery per ADV Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-99 Revision No. XX

[Insert B 3.7.20 1 FCS B 3.7.20 BASES BACKGROUND being sufficient to support the FCS for a minimum of (continued) four hours (Ref. 1).

The normal air supply for operation of the valves is provided from the plant non-safety-related Instrument Air System. A safety related Backup Air System dedicated to the ADVs consists of five compressed air cylinders per ADV. Five air cylinders are sufficient to provide a source of control air allowing operation of the ADVs for at least four hours (Ref. 1).

Manual block valves are located upstream of the ADVs.

These valves provide the ability to isolate the ADVs for maintenance or repair.

A description of the ADVs is found in Reference 2.

APPLICABLE The FCS is assumed in the mitigation of a SBLOCA under SAFETY ANALYSIS certain conditions. Within 10 minutes following a sustained loss of SCM and inadequate HPI flow, the FCS automatically actuates, which opens the ADVs, to allow rapid RCS cool down and automatically modulates the ADVs to maintain the associated OTSG pressure

< 350 psig. The FCS and operation of both ADVs are credited with THERMAL POWER > 2609 MWt (pre-EPU power level) to assure sufficient core cooling during a SBLOCA assuming single failure of one HPI subsystem.

With THERMAL POWER

Opening the ADVs induce additional primary to secondary cooling for the smaller sized breaks and a corresponding increase in ECCS flow. For the intermediate and larger size breaks, opening the ADVs decreases the energy in the secondary side.

Depressurizing the OTSGs during a SBLOCA allows the RCS pressure to decrease resulting in sufficient core cooling to provide adequate margin to the 10CFR 50.46 limits.

The FCS function of the ADVs satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 (c)(2)(ii).

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-100 Revision No. XX

[Insert B 3.7.207 FCS B 3.7.20 BASES (continued)

LCO The FCS function of both ADVs is required to be OPERABLE following a SBLOCA with a sustained loss of SCM and inadequate HPI flow. Failure to meet the LCO can result in the inability to mitigate a SBLOCA with THERMAL POWER above 2609 MWt.

The FCS is considered OPERABLE when it is capable of actuating both ADVs on an FCS actuation signal and maintaining the required OTSG pressure during a SBLOCA. Additionally, five compressed air cylinders providing backup air supply are required for each ADV.

Also, the associated FCS automatic transfer circuit and pressure controller for each ADV are required to be capable of being powered by one of two safety related batteries per ADV.

APPLICABILITY With THERMAL POWER > 2609 MWt, the FCS is assumed to open both ADVs following a sustained loss of SCM to cool down the RCS following a SBLOCA when HPI flow is inadequate. Therefore, the FCS is required to be OPERABLE.

With THERMAL POWER < 2609 MWt, the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) provides sufficient core cooling during a SBLOCA assuming single failure of one HPI subsystem without the need for the FCS function of the ADVs.

ACTIONS A. 1 If the Backup Air System in inoperable to either ADV, the system must be restored to OPERABLE status within 7 days to ensure pneumatic control is available to the ADV during an event concurrent with a LOOP.

The 7 day Completion Time is reasonable to repair the inoperable Backup Air System and is based on a highly reliable and diverse normal instrument air supply, availability of alternate instrument air (e.g.,

alternate diesel backed air compressor), and the low probability of an event concurrent with a LOOP occurring that would require the FCS function of the ADVs.

B.1 and B.2 With the FCS inoperable for reasons other than Condition A and both HPI subsystems are verified to be OPERABLE, the FCS must be restored to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-101 Revision No. XX

[Insert B 3.7.20 1 FCS B 3.7.20 BASES ACTIONS B.1 and B.2 (continued)

In this Condition, adequate core cooling is assured by verifying the OPERABILITY of both HPI subsystems.

This may be performed as an administrative check by examining logs or other information to determine if one or both HPI subsystems are out of service for maintenance or other reasons. It does not mean to perform the Surveillances needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the HPI subsystems. If the OPERABILITY of both HPI subsystems cannot be verified or if one or more HPI subsystems are discovered inoperable following entry into Condition B, Condition C must be entered.

The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time is consistent with the Completion Time of one ECCS train inoperable per TS 3.5.2, "ECCS- Operating," and is a reasonable time to repair FCS components to one or both ADVs. This Completion Time is also based on the low probability of an event occurring during this period that would require-the FCS.

C.1 If Required Actions cannot be performed within their associated Completion Time, the plant must be placed in a condition in which the LCO does not apply.

Reducing THERMAL POWER < 2609 MWt ensures the ECCS can provide sufficient core cooling during a SBLOCA without the need for the FCS function of the ADVs.

The one hour Completion Time is based on a reasonable time to reach the required power level and the low probability of an accident occurring in this relatively short time period.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.20.1 REQUIREMENTS This Surveillance ensures that, without the need of the refill, sufficient backup air capacity is available from five in-service compressed air cylinders for each ADV. The minimum backup system supply pressure downstream of the pressure regulator and compressed air cylinder header pressure and volume Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-102 Revision No. XX

Ilnsert B 3.7.20 FCS B 3.7.20 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.20.1 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS (i.e., at least five air cylinders in service) ensure the ADVs can maintain at least four hours of operation. The backup system supply pressure value and compressed air cylinder header pressure values are provided in plant procedures.

The 7 day Frequency is based on industry operating experience, which shows that backup air supply pressure does not change appreciably over this time period and takes into account the capacity and availability of a local air compressor.

SR 3.7.20.2 Verifying the FCS controller battery terminal voltage indicates the required battery can perform its intended function. The voltage requirement is based on the design voltage of the battery. The 7 day Frequency is consistent with manufacturer recommendations and IEEE-450 (Ref. 3).

SR 3.7.20.3 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of each FCS OTSG pressure control channel, including the sensors.

The test verifies that the channel responds to the measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy.

CHANNEL CALIBRATION leaves the channel adjusted to account for instrument drift to ensure that the instrument channel remains operational between successive tests. CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall find that measurement errors and FCS controller setting errors are within the assumptions of the FCS instrumentation calculations. CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS must be performed consistent with the assumptions of the SBLOCA analysis.

The Frequency is justified by the assumption of a 24 month calibration interval in the determination of the magnitude of equipment drift in the FCS instrumentation calculations.

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.7-103 Revision No. XX

Insert B 3.7.20 1 FCS B 3.7.20 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.20.4 REQUIREMENTS (continued) A battery service test is a test of the battery capability, as found, to satisfy the design requirements (battery duty cycle) of the required FCS batteries. The discharge rate and test length should correspond to the design duty cycle requirements as specified in Reference 3.

The 24 month Frequency is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129 (Ref. 4),

which states that the battery service test should be performed during refueling operations, or at some other outage.

SR 3.7.20.5 This SR demonstrates that each ADV actuates and controls at its associated OTSG pressure setpoint on an actual or simulated FCS actuation signal at least once per fuel cycle. The test includes verifying overlap with each required FCS actuation logic train tested in SR 3.3.20.1 and FCS controller circuit to ensure the entire FCS circuit will perform the intended function.

An overlapping test of the automatic FCS actuation circuit is included as part of this test to provide complete testing of the associated safety function.

The 24 month Frequency is based on the need to perform this Surveillance under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for an unplanned transient if the Surveillance is performed with the reactor at power.

Refueling boron concentration is the soluble boron concentration in the coolant in each of these volumes having direct access to the reactor core during refueling.

The soluble boron concentration offsets the core reactivity and is measured by chemical analysis of a representative sample of the coolant in each of the volumes.

procedures. The Makeup and Purification and Chemical Addition Systems serve as the systems capable of maintaining the reactor subcritical in cold conditions by maintaining the boron concentration.

The pumping action of the DHR System in the RCS, and the natural circulation due to thermal driving heads in the reactor vessel ensures a relatively uniform boron concentration of the water in the refueling canal. The DHR System is in operation during refueling (see LCO 3.9.4, "DHR and Coolant Circulation - High Water Level," and LCO 3.9.5, "DHR and Coolant Circulation - Low Water Level") to provide forced circulation in the RCS and assist in maintaining the boron concentrations in the RCS and the refueling canal above the COLR limit.

APPLICABLE During refueling operations, the reactivity condition of the SAFETY ANALYSES core is consistent with the initial conditions assumed for the boron dilution accident in the accident analysis and is (continued)

Boron Concentrat ion B 3.9.1 BASES APPLICABLE conservative for MODE 6. The boron concentration limit SAFETY ANALYSES specified in the COLR is based on the core reactivity at the (continued) beginning of each fuel cycle (the end of refueling) and includes a conservative uncertainty allowance of 50 ppm.

The required boron concentration and the refueling procedures (including full core mapping) ensure the keff of the core will remain

  • 0.95 during the refueling operation.

Hence, a minimum 5% Ak/k margin to criticality is established during refueling.

During refueling, the water volume in the fuel transfer canal and the reactor vessel are interconnected such that they form a single mass. As a result, the soluble boron concentration is relatively the same in each of these volumes.

RCS boron concentration satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO The LCO requires that a minimum boron concentration be m-Y*-*Y*maintained in the RCS and the refueling canal while in with controlrods MODE 6. The boron concentration limit specified in the COLR ensures a core kef of

APPLICABILITY This LCO is applicable in MODE 6 to ensure that the fuel in the reactor vessel will remain subcritical during CORE ALTERATIONS. In other than MODE 6, LCO 3.1.1, "SHUTDOWN MARGIN (SDM)," LCO 3.1.5, "Safety Rod Insertion Limits" and LCO 3.2.1, "Regulating Rod Insertion Limits" are the primary means of ensuring that an adequate amount of negative reactivity is available to shut down the reactor and to maintain it subcritical under all plant conditions.

Containment Penetrations B 3.9.3 BASES APPLICABLE During movement of fuel assemblies within containment, SAFETY ANALYSES the most severe radiological consequences result from a fuel handling accident involving handling recently i r radiated fuel. o ye-(-i4c-l --the---:-eow-1-g r-?ef-~J4ng-oE~t-age)-e-ope-ra-t-e d t-o r-4b-T-I RAT-ED irradiated fuel is the fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within the previous 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Fuel handling accidents include dropping a single irradiated fuel assembly and handling tool or a heavy object onto other irradiated fuel assemblies. The requirements of LCO 3.9.6, "Refueling Canal Water Level," in conjunction with the administrative limit on minimum decay time prior to irradiated fuel movement ensure that the release fission product radioactivity subsequent to a fuel handling accident results in doses that are within the requirements specified in 10 CFR 50.67 even without containment closure.

Containment penetrations satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO This LCO limits the consequences of a fuel handling accident involving handling recently irradiated fuel in containment by limiting the potential escape paths for fission product radioactivity from containment. The LCO requires any penetration providing direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere, including the equipment hatch or the Outage Equipment Hatch, to be closed except for penetrations containing an OPERABLE purge or mini-purge valve. For the containment purge and mini-purge valves to be considered OPERABLE, at least one valve in each penetration must be automatically isolable on an RB Purge-high radiation isolation signal.

The definition of "direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere" is any path that would allow for transport of containment atmosphere to any atmosphere located outside the containment structure. This includes the Auxiliary Building. As a general rule, closed or pressurized systems do not constitute a direct path (continued)

Refueling Canal Water Level B 3.9.6 B 3.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS B 3.9.6 Refueling Canal Water Level BASES BACKGROUND The movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment requires a minimum refueling canal water level of 156 ft plant datum. This maintains sufficient water level above the fuel contained in the vessel and the bottom of the fuel transfer canal, and the spent fuel pool to ensure iodine fission product activity is retained in the water to a level consistent with the dose analysis of a fuel handling accident (Ref. 4). Sufficient iodine activity would be retained to/limit offsite doses from the accident to well within 10CFR\50.67 limits (Ref. 3).

APPLICABLE During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the water SAFETY ANALYSES level in the refueling canal is an assumed initial condition in the analysis of the fuel handling accident in containment. This relates to the assumption that 99% of the total iodine released from the fuel is retained by the refueling canal water. There are postulated drop scenarios where there is < 23 ft above the top of the fuel bundle and the surface. In particular, this is the case for the period of time during which the assembly travels between the cavity and the deep end of the refueling canal. During this time, there is potentially 21 feet of water between the reactor vessel flange (135 ft plant datum) and the surface of the pool. The iodine retention factors used in D he dose assessment are still conservet--ve-at* water levels of feet above the da aged fuel (Ref. 4). The 156 ft value was chosen to be consistent with tI4 level specified for LCO 3.7.13, "Fuel torage Pool Water Level" and plant configuration.

Refuel ing Canal Water Level B 3.9.6 BASES FT-7 APPLICABLE The fuel handling accide analysis inside containment is SAFETY ANALYSES described in Reference 4. With a minimum water level of (continued) 23 ft above the stored fuel, and the administrative limit on minimum decay time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> prior to movement of irradiated fuel in the vessel, analyses demonstrate that the iodine release due to a postulated fuel handling accident is adequately captured by the water such that offsite doses are maintained within allowable limits (Ref. 3).

Refuel ing canal water level satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO A minimum refueling canal water level of 156 ft plant datum is required to ensure that the radiological consequences of a postulated fuel handling accident inside containment are within acceptable limits. This minimum level also ensures an adequate operational window between the surface of the pool and the transfer winch for the RB fuel handling equipment.

APPLICABILITY This Specification is applicable when moving irradiated fuel assemblies within the containment. The LCO minimizes the potential of a fuel handling accident in containment which results in offsite doses greater than those calculated by the safety analysis. If irradiated fuel is not present in containment, there can be no significant radioactivity release as a result of a postulated fuel handling accident. Water level requirements for fuel handling accidents postulated to occur in the spent fuel pool are addressed by LCO 3.7.13, "Fuel Storage Pool Water Level."

ACTIONS A.1 With a refueling canal water level of < 156 ft plant datum, all movement of irradiated fuel assemblies shall be suspended immediately to preclude a fuel handling accident from occurring. The suspension of fuel movement shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position.

Crystal River Unit 3 B 3.9-24 Amendment No. 208

Refueling Canal Water Level B 3.9.6 BASES ACTIONS A.2 In addition to immediately suspending movement of irradiated fuel, actions to restore refueling canal water level must be initiated immediately. The immediate Completion Time is based on engineering judgment. When increasing refueling canal water level the boron concentration of the make-up and the effect of this concentration on the minimum specified in the COLR (Ref. LCO 3.9.1) must be considered.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.9.6.1 REQUIREMENTS Verification of a minimum refueling canal water level of 156 ft plant datum ensures that the design basis for the postulated fuel handling accident analysis during refueling operations is met. Water at the required level above the top of the reactor vessel flange limits the consequences of damaged fuel rods that are assumed to result from a postulated fuel handling accident inside containment (Ref. 2).
