'Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST)"'

NRC Question 1

1.

What is the basis for the new minimum RWST water volume?

PG&E Response:

The new containment recirculation sump strainers are designed to operate under fully submerged conditions for a large-break loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The top of these strainers is slightly below elevation 93.6 ft, so a minimum containment water level of 93.6 ft is required for strainer operation under design-basis large-break LOCA conditions. A calculation was performed to determine the required contained borated water volume and equivalent water level in the RWST to meet this requirement.

The calculation to support the proposed TS revision is based on the results of an existing calculation performed to assess post-LOCA containment water levels that determined the minimum sump water level for the onset of switchover for a large-break LOCA when the first residual heat removal pump starts taking suction from the sump.

The initial calculation evaluated a large-break LOCA for the current TS minimum contained borated water volume and level, and an administratively-controlled RWST minimum water level of 90 percent. The administrative minimum level was established in order to protect the minimum TS RWST water level for the worst-case potential leakage that could occur during the operation of a temporary reverse osmosis purification system in support of changes approved in License Amendments 144/143, issued January 29, 2001.

The existing calculation established that under the limiting large-break LOCA conditions, approximately 219,700 gallons of water would be injected into the containment from the RWST at the start of switchover to recirculation if the starting inventory of the RWST was at the current TS minimum level. The corresponding containment water level is 93.02 ft. Similarly, the calculation also evaluated the changes associated with the administrative RWST water level of 90 percent. The results of the evaluation of the 90 percent administrative RWST water level established that there would be approximately 253,000 gallons of RWST water injected into containment after accounting for instrumentation uncertainties and leakage. This change in initial RWST water level resulted in an increase in the containment water level from 93.02 ft to 93.41 ft.

Conservatisms contained in these calculations include consideration of the loss of a quantity of water to the containment atmosphere as vapor, water in transit to the sump, water pooling in locations other than in the sump, the water film condensing on surfaces 1

PG&E Letter DCL-08-012 of structures, piping and components, the filling of dry containment spray system piping, and sample system leakage. The removal of these water volumes resulted in minimization of the water level available in the containment sump. This established the minimum initial water level inside containment at 93.41 ft for the case where the RWST water level started at 90 percent. Based on the initial containment water level described above, and the water level required to submerge the new strainers, the most recent calculation established that an additional 16,097 gallons is required to raise the water level to an elevation of 93.6 ft.

The minimum required containment water volume is based on the maximum containment area to containment water level relationship which considered containment to be a cylindrical structure, and only accounted for displacement of water volume by major structures inside containment such as the steam generator and reactor coolant pump pedestals and the secondary shield wall. No credit was taken for minor items like smaller structural steel, removable storage units, and equipment whose displacement volume would increase the net containment water level.

The increased water volume required was then converted into a change in the water level in the RWST. Since the RWST is an ideal geometric, cylindrical tank, the water level change required is easily calculated based on a linear relationship between tank level and volume. The additional required volume of 16,097 gallons was conservatively rounded up to 16,500 gallons. This resulted in an increase of 3.6 percent in tank volume, from the starting level of 90 percent to a final level of 93.6 percent.

(The minimum required contained tank inventory was then determined based on this new required level. The volume of water corresponding to 93.6 percent corresponds to a volume of approximately 428,900 gallons of measured inventory. Since there is a volume of water below the lower instrumentation tap which is not measurable (approximately 26,400 gallons), the actual contained tank inventory at this new water level is the measured volume at the new required level plus the unavailable volume below the lower tap. This volume is (428,900 plus 26,400) gallons or 455,300 gallons.

Calculations N-227, "Post-LOCA Minimum Containment Sump Level," (specifically Section 8.2), and STA-255, "Minimum Required RWST Level for GE Sump Strainers,"

provide the basis for the proposed minimum RWST borated water volume. These calculations are included as Attachments 1 and 2 to Enclosure 1.

NRC Question 2

2.

Specify the uncertainties associated with the instruments relied upon to meet Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.5.4.2 and how these uncertainties are determined.

2 PG&E Letter DCL-08-012 PG&E Response:

The Unit 1 containment recirculation sump screen was replaced during the Unit 1 Fourteenth Refueling Outage (1R14). The proposed SR 3.5.4.2 RWST minimum required borated water volume of 455,300 gallons (93.6 percent level) was administratively implemented at that time. Because of the narrow margin between the proposed SR limit and the RWST high level alarm, a high accuracy Heise gauge was installed during I R14, to verify RWST level, pending installation of new level transmitters (LT-920, -921, -922) with digital readout at the transmitter. The Unit 1 level transmitters will be replaced during the Unit1 Fifteenth Refueling Outage; the Unit 2 level transmitters will be replaced during the Unit 2 Fourteenth Refueling Outage when the Unit 2 containment recirculation sump screen will be replaced.

The Heise gauge uncertainty is calculated as follows:

CU=B++ {PMA2 +SCA2 + Readabilty2 }

Where:

Bias Error (B) =.0361 pounds per square inch (psi)

Process Measurement Allowance (PMA) = +/- 0.0726 psi Sensor Calibration Accuracy (SCA) = +/- 0.0313 psi Readability = +/- 0.01 psi Therefore the uncertainty associated with use of the Heise gauge is the following:

CU=B+/- VjPMA2 +SCA2 +Readabilty2 }

CU = 0.0361+/- V t07262 +0.03132 +0.012 CU = 0.0361+ V/07262+0.03132 +0.012

= + 0.1158psi, or + 0.39%

CU = 0.0361-

/.07262+0..03132 +0.012 }= - 0.0797psi, or - 0.27%

The replacement level transmitter digital indicator uncertainty is calculated as follows:

CU=B+/- IIPMA2+PEA2 +SCA2 + SMTE 2 +SD 2 + STE 2 + SPE 2 + Readabilty2 Where Bias Error (B) = +/- 0.25 in Process Measurement Allowance (PMA) = +/- 2 in Primary Element Accuracy (PEA) = 0 Sensor Calibration Accuracy (SCA) = +/- 1.47 in Sensor Measuring and Test Equipment (SMTE) =+/- 0.90 in 3

Enclosure I PG&E Letter DCL-08-012 Sensor Drift (SD) = + 2 in Sensor Temperature Effect (STE) =+/- 0.37 in Sensor Pressure Effect (SPE) = 0 Readability of Indicator on Sensor/transmitter = 0 Therefore, the uncertainty for the digital indicator for LT-920, -921, -922 is the following:

CU=B+/- V PMA2+PEA2 +SCA2 +SMTE 2 +SD 2 + STE 2 +SPE 2 + Readabilty2 I CU- = +/-0.25 +/- V22 +0+1.472 +0.92 +22 +0.372 +0 -+/-

0 = +/-3.58INWC, or

+/-0.61%

The above calculations are consistent with the current setpoint methodology contained in WCAP-1 1082, Revision 6, which was submitted in PG&E Letter DCL-03-1 11,

-"License Amendment Request 03-12, Revision to Technical Specifications 3.3.1, 'RTS Instrumentation,' and 3.3.2, 'ESFAS Instrumentation,'" dated September 12, 2003.

WCAP-1 1082, Revision 6 was approved by the NRC for Diablo Canyon Power Plant by Amendment No. 178 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-80 and Amendment No.180 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-82 in NRC Letter "Issuance of Amendment Re: Revised Technical Specifications 3.3.1 'Reactor Trip System (RTS)

Instrumentation' and 3.3.2, 'Engineered Safety Features Actuation System (ESFAS)

Instrumentation' (TAC Nos. MC0893 and M0894)," dated December 2, 2004.

NRC Question 3

3.

Describe the surveillance and how the uncertainties are applied to assure that the requirements in SR 3.5.4.2 are met.

PG&E Response:

The proposed SR 3.5.4.2 requires verification that the RWST borated water volume is greater than or equal to 455,300 gallons or 93.6 percent RWST level. Allowance for instrument uncertainty is not included in the proposed SR. To ensure that the SR 3.5.4.2 requirement is met, the minimum RWST level will be maintained greater than or equal to 94 percent using the temporary installed Heise gauge, or greater than or equal to 94.25 percent using the local digital readout on the new level transmitters, when installed. These acceptance criteria will be included in the TS Bases 3.5.4.2. Based on the inclusion of the acceptance criteria reflecting an-allowance for instrument uncertainty in the TS Bases, the RWST level equivalent to contained borated water volume of 455,300 gallons in the proposed SR 3.5.4.2 (i.e., the 93.6 percent level uncorrected for uncertainty), can be relocated to the TS Bases 3.5.4.2. This proposed change has been discussed with the NRC staff.

Revised TS and TS Bases pages are included in Enclosure 2. They supersede the same numbered pages included in PG&E Letter DCL-07-093, "License Amendment 4

PG&E Letter DCL-08-012 Request 07-02, Revision to Technical Specification (TS) 3.5.4, 'Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST),"' dated October 2, 2007.

Although verification of the RWST borated water volume to satisfy the SR will be done using local instrumentation, RWST level changes can be observed by plant operators using installed instrumentation in the Control Room. Also, a plant process computer alarm will inform the operators when the SR limit is approached.

Purpose / Background The purpose of this calculation is to conservatively estimate the minimum post LOCA containment sump water level (flood elevation) for various size breaks up to the design basis large break LOCA, at the time when the sump is required to provide suction flow to the RHR pump(s).'

This calculation relies and builds on previous PG&E calculations and also Westinghouse LOCA analysis performed specifically to support this work. In order to bound the potential range of break sizes and various ESF configurations and failures that can impact the net post-LOCA containment sump inventory, this calculation evaluates a spectrum of eight break sizes ranging from 1.5 inch to the large break LOCA. The eight cases evaluated are listed below.

Per AR A049168049168 the calculation has been updated to include the dynamic pressure drop error effect on the RWST level transmitters which occurs due to the suction across the vent screen created by the RWST depletion flow as calculated in STA-106 (Ref. 22).

6.

Per AR A0491684, the N-227 design input list has been revised to include STA-071.

7.

Per AR A0461684, N-227 now takes all containment moisture volume values from the N-224 tables, which have been revised to cover the complete temperature range of the eight LOCA cases evaluated in this calculation.

8.

Per AR A0491684, the most conservative minimum moisture content value from the four temperature and relative humidity tables in N-224 is selected for each particular N-227 case.

Revision 2 -

1. This revision updates design input 2 for the net RWST injection volume as determined in the new calculation J-142 Rev. 0 (AR A099219099219 which has been added as Reference 25.

Calculation J-142 Rev. 0 consolidates and supersedes the old calculations J-54 Rev. 15 and SC-I-9-L920 Rev. 2 which have been deleted as References 2 and 24, respectively.

2. The calculated initial RWST volume (Item 1) has changed and is now provided in measured or usable volume instead of contained volume. Item 3 the low level RWST usable volume has also changed, along with the calculated RWST injected volume (Item 4).
3. The RCS spill and RCS shrinkage values changed slightly for Case 1 based on a more accurate application of the temperature dependent volumes taken form calculation M-580.
4. While there has been no change in the use of significant digits for the actual calculations, an effort has been made to reduce the number of significant digits reported for ease of viewing.
5. The Section 17 Results have been deleted as it is completely redundant to the Results Summary provided in section 3.
6. Section 20 along with the Enclosures and Attachments has been deleted. These documents were included for historical information only and no longer provide value to this calculation.

Revision 3

1. This revision was implemented due to the correction of an error in input calculation N-224 as identified AR A0602904. The original N-224 water vapor mass was incorrectly reduced by the partial pressure fraction. Correcting this error results in a slightly larger mass of water calculated to remain in the containment atmosphere for the same post-LOCA conditions.
2. The net RWST injected volume has been revised based on performing a statistical based evaluation of the initial indicated RWST level and the RHR pump trip setpoint uncertainties.
3. The RWST leakage has been revised to include leakage due to the failure of the non-seismic Reverse Osmosis (ROS) skid in addition to the RWST sample line leakage.
4. The calculation format has been revised to be consistent with the latest revision of CF3.1D14.

Revision 4

1. The RWST sample line leakage has been revised in N-73 Rev. 2 (Reference 11.1.7) which eliminates the 3/4" line leakage case for isolation valve S1-1/2-8971. Recent design changes have made the downstream 3/8" RWST sample line and associated sample valve SI-1/2-267 design

2. This revision incorporates additional assumptions, evaluations, and calculations which address the ENERCON technical review comments as requested in AR A0641926 (Reference 11.2.2)

The Enercon review comments were originally provided in Table 1 of Attachment 2 in Reference 11.3.22. Each revision below designated a through k resolves the corresponding Enercon comment which has been reproduced and labeled as shown in Table 1 of Appendix B.

a. The credited Large Break LOCA.case RCS spill volume has been revised in Assumption 18.
b. The pressurizer surge line break case has been evaluated as being bounded by the 6" case as documented in the new Assumption 30.
c. Additional text has been added to Assumption 5 establishing the basis for the conservatism of the accumulator volume credited for injection.
d. Additional text has been added to Assumption 19 establishing the basis for the conservatism of the two minute transit time and the volume of water assumed to be held up in transit that has not reached the sump.
e. Additional text has been added to Assumption 6 establishing that the volume of liquid determined to be held up in the containment atmosphere conservatively accounts for the potential contribution associated with the Containment Spray flow transit time.
f.

Additional text has been added to Assumption 15 establishing that that the assumption for not crediting any RHR flow to the sump after the RWST low level is reached, conservatively bounds the liquid holdup in the small volume associated with the RHR suction line.

g. Added new Assumption 31 to clarify that the potential volume of leakage from the ECCS and CS systems is considered insignificant for the period of interest to initiate recirculation.
h. Corrected the case summary tables to reflect that Assumption 15 (originally listed as assumption 6) establishes there is no credit for any RHR flow to the sump after the RWST low level is reached.
i.

For Case 2, the reference for line item 9 was corrected to the appropriate Reference 11.3.12.

j.

Additional text has been added to Assumption 19 establishing that the holdup or transit time of containment spray flow liquid associated with the refueling canal drain is considered insignificant for this calculation.

k.

Additional text has been added in new Assumption 32 conservatively estimating several additional potential sources of liquid holdup in containment and establishing the basis that there are no other significant sources for liquid holdup inside containment that need to be considered as part of the water assumed to be held up or in transit.

Methodology This calculation first defines the sources of water contributing to the containment recirculation sump, for post-LOCA conditions and the potential ways that this water can be diverted from reaching the sump.

The possible sources of water for filling the sump are:

" Reactor Coolant System (RCS)

Accumulators RWST

" Spray Additive Tank (SAT)

The conditions that could reduce the water contribution to the sump are:

Remaining liquid volume in the RCS RCS shrinkage due to cooling, requiring RWST makeup Partial to zero accumulator discharge (RCS pressure above 600 psig)

" Water vapor retained in the containment atmosphere Liquid condensation and pooling on containment surfaces

" Water in transit from the break to the sump

" Water volume required to fill the containment spray piping RWST leakage RWST level errors and uncertainties The assumptions are then discussed, which lead to the identification of the limiting conditions to be evaluated in order to determine the various sources and losses which establish the minimum sump level. It should be noted that where plant physical drawings are used or referenced to establish assumptions regarding liquid path and/or holdup geometries, only one unit drawing needs to be listed since both units are essentially identical with respect to sump related geometry. This calculation relies and builds on previous PG&E calculations and also Westinghouse LOCA analysis performed specifically to support this work. A spectrum of eight break sizes ranging from 1.5 inch to the large break LOCA have been evaluated as summarized below. Since not all case data provided by Westinghouse were directly used, and the data were provided from several different sources, the case number designations used in Table 3-1 for this calculation do not correspond with the various case numbers provided in the individual references. However, the case description may be used to track and verify the appropriate source data form the applicable references as summarized below.

1.5" Break, Minimum SI FLOW, No CSP actuated 11.3.14 11.3.14 For Case 1, the RCS response was calculated explicitly in M-580 (Reference 11.1.2) while the containment response data were obtained from the containment integrity analysis documented in.

WCAP-13907 (Reference 11.3.11). In support of this sump evaluation effort, Westinghouse provided RCS response data based on the existing spectrum of SBLOCA cases performed for the DCPP analysis of record as documented in PGE-97-520 (Reference 11.3.12). For Cases 2 and 3 the RCS response data was obtained from PGE-97-520. However, since there were no specific containment response data available for these cases, the containment response data were obtained from comparable large break data in the FSARU (Reference 11.3.15). As part of this sump evaluation effort, Westinghouse generated RCS and containment response data for five small break cases in PGE-97-537 (Reference 11.3.14). In the process of evaluating one additional case in PGE-97-543 (Reference 11.3.13), Westinghouse also revised two cases originally provided in PGE-97-537 when it was determined that containment spray would probably not actuate any of the 2" break cases. Case 5 and Case 8 were not revised and the RCS and containment response data are obtained from the first set of small break data transmitted in PGE-97-537. The RCS response data for Case 7 was not impacted and was obtained from PGE-97-537, however the containment response data were revised and obtained from PGE-97-540 based on containment spray not actuating. The RCS and containment response data for Case 4 were obtained from PGE-97-543, since this was a new additional case not in PGE-97-537. The RCS and containment response data for Case 6 were revised and obtained form PGE-97-543.

Assumptions

1. The containment sump provides RHR suction to support switchover from the post-LOCA injection phase (RWST water source) to the recirculation phase. Alignment to recirculation starts after the RHR pumps are tripped on reaching RWST low level. After the valve alignment to take suction from the sump, the RHR pumps are restarted. This is the time that the sump level is calculated.
2. Following a postulated LOCA, the water in the RWST, or accumulators is pumped/injected into the reactor for cooling and to keep the fuel covered. This water and some or all of the RCS fluid is spilled from the break to the containment atmosphere/containment sump.
3. LBLOCAs have blowdown rates that far exceed the ECCS injection rate and result in a large fraction of the RCS and accumulator water volume entering the containment sump. Therefore, the post LOCA RCS level would be significantly lower than the normal operating water level.
4. The ECCS injection rate usually exceeds the lower blowdown. rates for SBLOCAs, which can significantly extend the time to reach RWST low level. This provides more time for the operators to initiate recovery steps and restore RCS level. Therefore, for all breaks smaller than the LBLOCA, the RCS level is assumed to be maintained near the normal operating value such that there is no net RCS spill contribution to the sump.
5. This calculation only credits accumulator injection when RCS pressure drops below the accumulator injection setpoint, and only up to the point when the RWST low level is reached.

The accumulator volume is temperature corrected to the equivalent RWST volume.

Enercon review comment 2.4.2.a discussed the possibility that the operators would isolate the ECCS accumulators for some SBLOCA cases such that the volume might not be credited to reach the sump. Only the very small break cases 7 and 8 which last a very long time would have any potential for the RCS pressure to remain elevated long enough for this to become a factor.

Additionally the applicable operating procedure EOP E-1.2 "Post LOCA Cooldown and Depressurization" (Reference 11.3.16), has a Caution statement before step 22.a that the accumulators should only be isolated if SI has been terminated. SI termination is not considered likely for these adverse SBLOCA cases being evaluated, and it is assumed that for any scenario severe enough to result in initiating cold leg recirculation the operators would allow the accumulators to inject and increase the sump level. Conversely, if the SBLOCA scenario is not severe enough to result in the initiation of cold leg recirculation then accumulator injection is irrelevant. Therefore, the accumulator volumes credited for these SBLOCA cases are appropriate.

6. The amount of steam retained in the Containment atmosphere for each case will be determined from data in calculation N-224 (Reference 11.1.1) based on the containment temperature and pressure conditions at the time the RWST low level is reached.

The Enercon review comment 2.4.2.a requested an evaluation for the potential of containment spray liquid holdup in transit requiring a separate quantification. The terminal velocity of the containment spray drops is listed as 480 cm/sec (= 16 ft/sec) along with a spray fall height of 128 feet on SER 00 Page 15-4 ( Reference 11.3.17 ). Therefore, the containment spray transport time in the containment atmosphere would only be about 8 to 10 seconds which is not

Any containment spray fluid in the atmosphere is bounded by the conservative calculation of N-224 which maximizes the atmospheric moisture as a function of containment conditions.

7. The liquid film thickness of the condensation on the various containment surfaces is a function of the differential temperature between the atmosphere and the surface. As stated in Reference 11.3.1, the heat transfer occurs very quickly for steel such that, the temperature difference between the heat sink surfaces and containment atmosphere and the resulting film thickness are expected to be small. Although this evaluation was for a small break case, this conclusion is also applicable for the LBLOCA case since the short switchover time (14 minutes and 26 seconds) is still reasonably long by heat transfer standards. Based on the Reference 11.3.1 methodology, the total condensation and pooling volume is assumed to be 1000 ft3.

It was noted that the calculated flood depth per reference 11.1.2 is lower for Unit 2 than in Unit 1, unless otherwise noted, this calculation will use data from Unit 2 as input.

10. The nominal initial RWST volume is assumed to be the Tech. Spec. (Reference 11.3.5) minimum of 81.5% per SR 3.5.4.2 plus the indication uncertainty of 2.5% per J-142 (Reference 11.1.3) or a minimum level of 84% as established per AR A0539565 (Reference 11.3.2). At 4583 gal/% (design input 2), this represents 384,900 measured or usable gallons. Per the administrative requirements documented in AR A0539565 the RWST volume is maintained at _

90%. This value can be credited since the RWST low alarm setpoint is maintained at _> 91% as listed in annunciator response AR PK-06-20 (Reference 11.3.3). The 90% administrative initial RWST level represents 412,400 usable gallons. These same nominal and administrative values are assumed for each case evaluated.

11. The minimum RWST injected volume is determined from the initial volume minus the remaining RWST usable volume when the RHR pumps are tripped on the RWST RHR trip setpoint of 32.56% per design input 2 (149,200 gallons). As discussed in the calculation section, the applicable RWST level uncertainties are statistically bounded by assuming a net uncertainty of 3.5% in the TS minimum injected RWST volume or 16,041 gallons. So the minimum net RWST injection volume between the TS minimum level and the RHR pump trip setpoint is reduced by 16,041 gal. to a value of 384,900- 149,200 - 16,041 = 219,659 gal.

As discussed in the calculation section, the applicable RWST level uncertainties are statistically bounded by assuming a net uncertainty of 2.2% in the net administrative injected RWST volume.

So the minimum net RWST injection volume between the administrative alarm level and the RHR pump trip setpoint is reduced by 10,083 gallons to account for instrument uncertainties to a value of 412,400 - 149,200- 10,083 = 253,117.

15. It is expected that the operator will start one RHR pump first at step 6 of EOP E-1.3. For a small break LOCA up to approximately 6 inches, the RCS pressure remains above the RHR pump shutoff head. Therefore, this evaluation conservatively does not credit any RHR flow contribution to the sump after the RWST low level has occurred.

In response to the Enercon review comment 2.4.2.f, the liquid holdup volume associated with filling the RHR sump recirculation suction piping is not considered significant. Per drawing 500054 (Reference 11.1.10), there is only about 20 feet of a vertical 14 inch pipe above the RHR recirculation suction valve. This represents only about 20 ft3 of piping based on the Crane B-18 (Reference 11.3.18) Schedule 5S flow area of 1.0219 ft2. This small value is not considered significant and is bounded by the numerous other conservative assumptions associated with minimizing the calculated sump volume at the time of ECCS recirculation.

16. For the case of a stuck open PORV, the water lost in filling the PRT is offset by the reduced amount of condensation, water in transit, and steam in the atmosphere. Therefore, this condition (where RCS fluid is used to fill the PRT) is not considered for determination of minimum sump level.
17. All of the net contributions and losses of water to the sump are initially calculated based on the equivalent nominal RWST volumetric conditions of 100 OF and 14.7 psia with a specific volume of 0.016129 ft3/lbm (ASME Steam Tables Reference 11.3.6). Therefore, a temperature correction factor is used to account for the thermal expansion of the RWST water as it equilibrates to the containment sump conditions. These sump water conditions are assumed to at a temperature of 200 OF and the particular post LOCA containment pressure for each break case. Assuming a more reasonable maximum RWST temperature of 90 OF and a sump temperature of 220 OF could increase the net sump level by approximately 0.5 inches.
18. The full RCS spill volume is only credited for the LBLOCA case and is obtained from Reference 11.1.2 based on a liquid temperature of 270 OF and a specific volume of 0.01717 ft3/lbm.

The total Unit 2 RCS volume established in calculation M-580 (Reference 11.1.2) is 9958 ft3 (temperature corrected to 270 OF) which is found by adding the RCS retained volume of 3040 ft 3 to the RCS spill volume of 6918 ft3. Note that the previous revisions of N-227 used the Unit 2 RCS spill volume of 6918 ft3, since it was conservatively smaller than the calculated Unit 1 RCS spill volume of 6963 ft3. The Unit 2 spill volume represents 6918/9958 = 69.5% of the RCS volume spilling to the containment sump. The Enercon review comment 2.4.2.a indicates that it is more conservative to assume that the RCS volume up to the top of the hot legs remains filled.

According to the latest RETRAN model of DCPP in STA-164 (Reference 11.3) as summarized in Appendix C, the top of the hot leg would represent a retention volume fraction of about 4350 ft3 I 11273 ft3 or 39% and a spill fraction of about 61%. To conservatively account for this additional RCS retention volume, the RCS spill volume in M-580 is reduced by 15% to a value of 5880 ft 3.

This RCS spill volume is then temperature corrected to the equivalent RWST volume of 0.016129 ft /Ibm or reduced by a factor of 1.0645 to a value of 5524 ft3.

The Enercon review comment regarding the potential for RCS liquid holdup due to condensation and vacuum conditions in the SG tubes is considered a long term effect only and is not significant for this scenario. Immediately following the large break LOCA, a considerable amount

of air would be expected to enter the breached RCS. This in combination with the high decay heat and metal temperatures would preclude any significant liquid condensation and potential vacuum conditions for the relatively short term conditions associated with establishing ECCS recirculation.

19. The water in transit is assumed to be 250 ft 3 or approximately 1800 gallons for each case. This is considered reasonable based on a typical small break blowdown rate (at the time of switch over) of 500 to 1000 gpm and a corresponding estimated transport time of 2 minutes. In response to the-Enercon review comment 2.4.2.d, a two minute transport-time is-reasonably conservative based on the minimum expected liquid flow velocities of 0.5 - 1 feet per second along with an average transport distance to the recirculation sump of 60 -120 feet. Therefore, a more detailed estimate of liquid transit time is not considered necessary In response to Enercon review comment 2.4.2.j, this assumption also evaluates that the refueling canal is not a significant source of liquid holdup which does not reach the sump. Per drawing 500039 (Reference 11.1.11) the drain size is 8 inches and there is about 8 feet of 8 inch drain line to HCV-1 11 which per DCM S-9A 4.3.1.j (Reference 11.3.20) is required to remain open during operation and allow drainage to the 91' level of containment. A review of the refueling cavity and containment physical geometry indicate that the associated drain line 3073 is not considered a credible risk for debris obstruction that could cause any significant flow impedance of water to the recirculation sump during post-LOCA conditions. The refueling cavity is cleaned and inspected at the end of each refueling outage. In addition, the refueling cavity is not considered a likely credible location for the deposition of any substantial post-LOCA debris such as insulation and/or paint. The RCS piping and branch lines are located in physically separated compartments within Containment. The intervening walls, floors, and steam generator cubicle compartments make it very unlikely that even the large break LOCA could transport a significant enough amount of debris up, through, and over the tortuous path of intervening structures necessary to reach the refueling cavity.

21. Deleted in Revision 2.
22. Per Reference 11.3.4, operator action is credited to maintain the RCS/pressurizer water level near normal values (i.e. will not allow the RCS to go water solid). Thus, the post LOCA RCS volume for all but the large break case is assumed equal to the initial full power liquid volume of 12160 ft3 with a specific volume of.02221 ft3/lbm for a Tavg = 577 OF and an average RCS pressure of 2280 psia (Reference 11.3.15).
23. This calculation assumes the operator will maintain the RCS at a subcooled condition when possible (at least 20 'F subcooling per reference 11.3.7 and Reference 11.3.4). This assumption is conservative since it results in a greater net RCS shrinkage. Throughout this calculation, a 30 'F subcooling is assumed.
24. Operator action is credited to cool down the RCS using steam generator relief valves and AFW for small breaks when switchover occurs more than one hour after the accident (Reference 11.3.4). This reduces the RCS pressure and allows more accumulator injection.

25. The SAT contribution is based on crediting 90% of the eductor flow of 35 gpm (Reference 11.3.8) from CS actuation to RHR pump restart.
26. The flow path ways to the sump are assumed to remain effectively free from debris blockage since the flow areas are large while the flow velocities are small. A significant fraction of debris would have to accumulate in order to impede flow, and this net reduction in debris inventory at the sump screen would result in a less limiting condition for sump level.
27. RWST leakage due to the failure of the non-seismic Reverse Osmosis (ROS) skid connected to the RWST is only considered for those cases which credit the administratively increased RWST level since ROS operation is administratively controlled per reference LAR-00-02 Commitment 4 as documented in AR A0503748 (Reference 11.3.9).
28. Deleted in Revision 4..
29. For the Administrative RWST level cases, the maximum leakage from the non-seismic ROS flow limiting orifice is assumed to be 70 gpm per AR A0495677 (Reference 11.3.10). Per AR A0503748 (Reference 11.3.9) the ROS skid is assumed to be isolated and the leakage stopped after five hours. It should be noted that this ROS leakage is still conservatively incorporated into this calculation even though the ROS skids have been removed per Unit 1 DCP N-49578 and Unit 2 DCP N-50578. This provides additional conservative margin which can be used to assess other RWST leakage or sump related issues.
30. The current Case 2 6" break case is considered to be bounding for a pressurizer surge line break which addresses the Enercon review comment 2.4.2.b. Case 2 already assumes no credit for any RCS spill volume. While the larger pressurizer surge line break would result in a slightly greater containment pressure and liquid vapor holdup in the atmosphere, this is offset by reduced RCS pressure (larger break size) and a resultant increase in ECCS flow that would exist when the RWST low level is reached. The other post accident conditions would be expected to be very similar for these two relatively large break cases. Since the Case 2 6" break already assumes no credit for any RCS spill volume, it can be considered conservatively representative of a potential pressurizer surge line case.
31. In response to Enercon review comment 2.4.2.g, the post-LOCA ECCS recirculation leakage is not considered significant with respect to reducing the available sump liquid inventory. The design basis small ECCS recirculation leakage is only 1910 cc/hr as listed in DCM T-15 Table 4.6-10 (Reference 11.3.21) which is insignificant for the even the longest Case 8 which lasts only about 6.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The RHR pump seal failure leakage of 50 gpm is a very conservative ECCS recirculation leakage assumption associated with calculating a limiting post-LOCA offsite dose. This RHR seal leakage is assumed to last only 30 minutes and the 1500 gallons of lost inventory is more than offset by assumption 14 which conservatively only credits three minutes of ECCS injection flow after the RHR pumps trip off. In conclusion, these additional sources of ECCS leakage may be neglected since they are not significant and are bounded by other conservative assumptions which minimize the credited sump inventory.
32. In response to the Enercon review comment 2.4.2.k, Ventilation ducts are considered effectively sealed to preclude any significant water intrusion. In addition, any water in leakage into the largest ventilation ducts associated with the CFCUs would still exhaust down to the 91' level. Per drawing 438234 (Reference 11.1.12) detail I, the reactor head ring stand has six

The Incore shaft and equipment room are sealed off from general containment volume. There are no elevators in containment. As discussed in Assumption 19, the majority of the refueling cavity effectively drains down to the 91' level. The upper internals lay down area is slightly recessed (113' 9 1,/ 2 113' 1 1/22" = 8") below the nominal refueling cavity floor and could trap a quantity of water.

Based on drawing 438233 (Reference 11.1.13) this trapezoidal volume is estimated to be V=(a +b)/2h V (20' x 23' )/2 x 17' x 0.666' = 244ft3 The polar crane trench and refueling manipulator crane bridge trench have drains to 91' level as shown in DWG 500159 (Reference 11.1.15) and DWG 500160 (Reference 11.A.14) such that these are not considered to be a source of liquid holdup.

In response to the Enercon review comment 2.4.2.k, the originally assumed liquid holdup volume is conservatively increased by 10% to 275 ft3 to bound any miscellaneous minor sources of liquid holdup. Thus, there are no other significant physical sources for liquid hold up inside containment that require specific itemizing within this calculation. The total liquid holdup volume therefore 244 + 275 = 519 ft 3. In addition to the drawings referenced in this calculation, the following drawings were reviewed to help make conclusions regarding the geometry inside containment.

Calculation 7.1.

Net RWST Injection Volume Error.

Tech Spec Minimum RWST Level and RHR Pump Trip Setpoint The previous revisions of this calculation conservatively bounded the RWST instrument uncertainties by decreasing the assumed initial RWST level by the vertical board indication uncertainty and-increasing the assumed RHR pump-trip setpoint by the setpoint uncertainty. This methodology is overly conservative and results in an unrealistic penalty on the amount of RWST volume that is credited to reach the recirculation sump. The same level transmitter (LT-920, LT-921, and LT-922) feeds both a corresponding RHR pump trip setpoint (LC-920A, LS-921, and LS-922) and a vertical board indicator (LI-920, LI-921, and LI-922), respectively. Thus any error due to the level transmitter will affect both the RWST level indication and the RHR trip setpoint the same, and will always cancel during the net subtraction of these two terms. For example, a +1% level transmitter error would cause the actual initial RWST level to be 1% less than the minimum Tech Spec value, it would also cause the RHR trip setpoint to be 1% greater than the nominal setpoint, for that given channel.

The only level transmitter uncertainty term that could affect the net RWST injection volume is the positive one inch bias which can occur due to an increase in the fuel building air pressure as discussed in Calculation J-142 (Reference 11.1.3). After a LOCA, the auxiliary building and fuel building ventilation system could be placed in charcoal mode. In order to conservatively bound the worst potential change in the fuel building air pressure and associated level transmitter bias after a LOCA, the 1% bias will not be applied to the initial RWST level indication but will be applied to the RHR trip setpoint.

This calculation revision credits a more realistic but still conservative estimate of the net RWST injection volume error due to the applicable uncertainties. As discussed in design input 2, calculation J-142 (Reference 11.1.3) establishes the individual uncertainty terms which are applicable to the RWST level transmitter, the level indicator, and the RHR trip setpoint. In Appendix A, Table A-1 provides a summary of the component uncertainty terms and total statistical uncertainty as compiled from J-142. In addition, Appendix A details the level transmitter terms which can be cancelled out for the net subtraction of the initial RWST level and the RHR trip setpoint, and calculates the revised applicable uncertainty values using the Square Root of the Sum of the Squares (SRSS) methodology per J-142, as summarized in Table A-2. The applicable Table A-2 error values are listed below:

LC-920A (RHR Trip): +1.34%, -1.17% LI-920 (VB Indication): +2.31%,-2.31%

Table A-3 summarizes all of the possible combinations of errors for the initial RWST level error (VB indication) minus the 2/3 RHR trip setpoint error. When the vertical board indication error and the RHR pump trip setpoint errors are in the same direction there is a partial cancellation of the error values which makes the effect on the net injection volume less limiting. Appendix A details the possible combination of errors which can occur for the net RWST injection volume based on the 2/3 RHR trip logic. The limiting cases are when the VB indication error is maximum negative and the

Appendix A shows that the worst case new RWST injection volume error occurs for Cases 2 and Case 4 which have the following calculated value:

Case 2 and Case 4 net RWST injection volume error = (-2.31) - (1.17) = -3.48%,

As discussed in Assumption 11, assuming a net RWST injection volume error of 3.5% or 16,041 gallons conservatively bounds the probabilistic effects of the 2/3 RHR trip logic. So the minimum net RWST injection volume between the TS minimum level and the RHR pump trip setpoint is reduced by 16,041 gal. to a value of 384,900 - 149,200 - 16,041 = 219,659 gal.

Administrative RWST Level and RHR Pump Trip Setpoint As discussed in assumption 10, the administrative requirements documented in AR A0539565 require that the RWST volume be maintained at > 90%. This is ensured by setting the RWST low alarm setpoint to at >_ 91%, such that the initial RWST level error is based on the low level alarm channel accuracy. It should be noted that per J-142 (Reference 11.1.3) the RWST low level setpoint uncertainty for LC-920D is equal to LC-920A and that for LC-921 B is equal to LS-921.

The individual RWST low level alarm channel accuracy can be calculated identical to that for the RHR low level trip setpoints (excluding the level transmitter error terms), except that the bias error does not apply for the initial pre-accident RHR level error. The individual component uncertainties using the Square Root of the Sum of the Squares (SRSS) methodology per J-142 provides the following values for LC-920B and LC-920D :

LC-920D CU+/CU-

= SQRT ( RCA^2 + RD^2 + RTA2 )/589

= +1 + SQRT (2.95A2 + 5.89A2 + 22 ) /589 or CU+ =+/-1.17%-

LC-920B CU+/CU-

= SQRT ( RCAA2 + RDA2 + RTA2) / 589

= SQRT (2.95A2 + 4.71A2+ 2A2 ) / 589 or CU+ = + 1.00%

Similar to the error evaluation above, when the low level alarm and the RHR pump trip setpoint errors are in the same direction there is a partial cancellation of the errors which makes the effect on the net injection volume less limiting. The limiting case is when the low level alarm error is maximum negative and the 2/3 RHR trip error is maximum positive. The worst case net RWST injection volume error would occur for the following values:

Maximum new RWST injection volume error= (-1.17) - (1.00) = 2.17%

So the net RWST injection volume error between the initial indicated level at the low level alarm setpoint and the RHR pump trip setpoint will be reduced by 2.2% or 10,083 gallons to a value of 412,400 - 149,200 - 10,083 = 253,117, as discussed in Assumption 11.

17 of 63 SUBJECT Post - LOCA Minimum Containment Sump Level MADE BY _Jerry E. Ballard DATE 2/27/06 CHK'D BY D.Christensen DATE 2/28/06 Per reference 11.1.5:

Volume below 91 feet elevation = 11136 ft3 Volume from 91 feet to 94 feet elevation is conservatively assumed to have the same unoccupied volume as greater than 94 feet that is: = 11.20X10 3 ft3/ft +/-125 ft3/ft (M-585 actually lists 11.020X1 03 ft3/ft +/-125 ft3/ft for 91 feet to 94 feet)

From the above table, the volume of water at the sump is 34026 ft3. Therefore, the flood elevation Is:

34026-11136 + 91 = 93.02fi.

(Please refer to the conclusion for additional discussion) 11.20X10 3 +125 When the first RHR pump is started, the maximum flow from the Sump per Reference 11.1.6 is 7769 gpm. This is based on a reasonable assumption that RCS pressure is equal to containment pressure (therefore zero differential pressure). Note that the above flow rate is based on two RHR pumps. When both RHR pumps are started, which is at least one or more minutes later, the actual sump water level should be higher due to additional water contribution from the CS system.

Notes by line item:

1. As discussed in assumption 10, the initial RWST usable volume at 84% is 384,900 gallons.
2. Per Assumption 11, the amount of RWST level lost due to the statistically evaluated instrument uncertainties is 3.5% or 16,041 gallons.
3. Per assumption 11, the usable RWST volume left when the RHR pumps are tripped on RWST low level at 32.56% is 149,200 gallons.
4. This represents the minimum RWST injected volume to the low level RHR pump trip and is calculated as the initial RWST usable volume minus the usable volume at the low level trip minus the level error due to instrument uncertainties. (Item 1 minus (Items 3 and Item 2)).
5. This is the amount of water that discharged from the Containment Spray system during the 3 minute duration after the RHR pumps have tripped until they are restarted (Reference 11.3.4). The Containment Spray flow rate is based on the containment pressure at the time of switchover. For this case the spray flow is 2617 gpm (Reference 11.3.13) and the CS flow volume credited is 7851 gallons. Crediting one train of spray is conservative since the switchover time is based on two trains of containment spray.
6.

For a large LOCA, even though the RCS pressure is below the shutoff head of the RHR pumps, as discussed in assumption 15, no RHR flow is credited after the low level trip for this evaluation.

7. This is the minimum amount of water that is injected into the reactor via one train of ECCS (one CCP and SIP) during the 3 minute interval after the RHR pumps have tripped until they are restarted by the operator. For this case the injection flow is 908.76 gpm based on an RCS pressure of 38 psig at the time of switchover. Assuming that this injection flow all spills out the break is appropriate for a large break LOCA.

8. The RCS volume that is spilled from the break is 5880 ft3 based on an RCS temperature of 270 OF and a specific volume of 0.01717 ft3 as determined in Assumption 18 and Reference 11.1.2. As discussed in assumption 18, this RCS contribution is reduced by a factor of 1.0645 to an equivalent RWST volume of 5524 ft3.
9. This is the amount of water from the accumulators (Reference 11.1.2). For a large break LOCA, all accumulator volume (3375 ft3 )would have been injected by the time RWST low level is reached.
10. Credit is taken for a SAT eductor flow of 63 gpm (Assumption 25) from time zero to 14 mihntes,-26-ser6r-ds-when-the RWST low-level is& reached per reference-11.1 8- -The 80 - --

second SAT fill time is subtracted, while an additional 3 minutes is added (until the RHR pump is restarted) for a total SAT contribution of 135.6 ft3.

11. As discussed in assumption 7, the amount of water diverted away from the sump due to condensation on various surfaces is assumed to be 1000 ft3.
12. This is the amount of water retained in the containment atmosphere as steam. Per WCAP 13907, Figure 3-1 (Reference 11.3.11), the containment temperature at switchover is 259 OF.'

At this containment temperature, N-224 (Reference 11.1.1) estimates the maximum steam held in the atmosphere would be 3611 ft3 based on the initial conditions of 120 OF and 100%

RH.

13. As discussed in assumption 19, the volume of water assumed to be still in transit / holdup and not credited to the sump is 519 ft3.
14. This is the additional RWST volume that must fill the RCS to account for the shrinkage of the remaining RCS liquid as it cools from the initial operating conditions to the post-LOCA containment conditions. As discussed in assumption 23, the RCS liquid is assumed to be subcooled by 30 OF with respect to the containment saturation temperature for 38 psig or at 254.35 OF (v = 0.01704 ft3/lbm).

The post LOCA remaining RCS volume was determined to be 3040 ft3 per M-580 (Reference 11.1.2), based on a RCS temperature of 576 OF, and a specific volume of v = 0.02264 ft3/lbm. Thus, establishing the required subcooling reduces the remaining RCS volume by a factor of 1.3286 to a value of 2288.1 ft3. This net RCS shrinkage of 751.9 ft3 must be made up by RWST water. Since the RWST water is at 1000 F and 14.7 psig (v = 0.016129 ft3 ) the actual volume required to offset the RCS shrinkage is reduced by a factor of 1.0565 to a value of 711.7 ft3.

15. As discussed in assumption 12, the amount of water used to fill the empty containment spray piping is 487.5 ft3.
16. Per design input 10 the RWST leakage from the sample line would be 19 gallons from the TS minimum level to the RHR pump start.
17. Per Reference 11.1.9, the RWST depletion rate would cause adynamic pressure drop level error of 4.636 inches across the vent screen which is conservatively assumed to be 80%

plugged. This converts to a 3631.7 gal.error in RWST level (783.36 gal/in per Ref. 11.1.3)

18. As discussed in assumption 17, the equivalent RWST volume of water is based on a specific volume of v = 0.016129 ft3 /Ibm, would expand by a factor of 1.0313 for the post LOCA sump water conditions of 200 OF and a containment pressure of 38 psig.

Therefore, the flood elevation is:

28985 -11136

+ 91 =92.58ft. (Please refer to the conclusion for additional discussion) 11.20XlO3 +125 The RCS pressure when the first RHR pump is started is approximately 200 psia,- the maximum flow from the Sump per reference 11.1.6 is 3329.4 gpm based on a 163.3 psid (200 RCS pressure - 36.7 psia containment pressure). Note that the above flow rate is based on two RHR pumps. When both RHR pumps are started, the actual sump water level should be higher due to additional water contribution from the CS system.

Notes by line item:

1. As discussed in assumption 10, the initial RWST usable volume at 84% is 384,900 gallons.
2. Per Assumption 11, the amount of RWST level lost due to the statistically evaluated instrument uncertainties is 3.5% or 16,041 gallons.
3. Per assumption 11, the usable RWST volume left when the RHR pumps are tripped on RWST low level at 32.56% is 149,200 gallons.
4. This represents the minimum RWST injected volume to the low level RHR pump trip and is calculated as the initial RWST usable volume minus the usable volume at the low level trip minus the level error due to instrument uncertainties. (Item 1 minus (Items 3 and Item 2)).
5. This is the amount of water that discharged from the Containment Spray system during the 3 minute duration after the RHR pumps have tripped until they are restarted (Reference 11.3.4). The Containment Spray flow rate is based on the containment pressure at the time of switchover is 2821 gpm (Reference 11.3.13) and the CS flow volume credited is 8463 gallons. Crediting one train of spray is conservative since the switchover time is based on two trains of containment spray.
6.

For a 6 inch break, even though the RCS pressure is below the shutoff head of the RHR pumps, as discussed in assumption 15, no RHR flow is credited after the low level trip for this evaluation.

7. This is the minimum amount of water that is injected into the reactor via one train of ECCS (one CCP and SIP) during the 3 minute interval after the RHR pumps have tripped until they are restarted by the operator. The blowdown is assumed to be equal to the minimum ECCS flow rate at 866.7 gpm (i.e. one SI & one charging pump) for 3 minutes. This assumption is reasonable as the flow rate from a 6 inch break at 200 psia far exceeds this minimum ECCS flow rate.

8. No credit is taken for RCS contribution. Per assumption 22, the RCS water is conservatively assumed to be at its normal volume of 12160 ft3.
9. This is the amount of water from the accumulators (Reference 11.3.12). For a 6 inch break, this is 209885 Ibm or 3379.3 ft3.
10. Credit is taken for a SAT eductor flow of 63 gpm (Assumption 25) from 173 seconds to 1750 seconds when the RWST low level is reached per reference 11.1.8. The 80 second SAT fill time is subtracted, while an additional 3 minutes is added (until the RHR pump is restarted) for a total SAT contribution of 235.4 ft3.
11. As discussed in assumption 7, the amount of water diverted away from the sump due to condensation on various surfaces is assumed to be 1000 ft3.
12. This is the amount of water diverted to the containment atmosphere as steam. Per FSAR figure 6.2-4 (Reference 11.3.15), the containment pressure at switchover (1750 seconds per Reference 11.1.1) is - 22 psig (36.7 psia). Interpolating at this containment pressure, calculation N-224 (Reference 11.1.1) gives the steam held in the atmosphere as 2124ff3.
13. As discussed in assumption 19, the volume of water assumed to be still in transit /holdup and not credited to the sump is 519 ft3.
14. This is the additional RWST volume that must fill the RCS to account for the shrinkage of the remaining RCS liquid as it cools from the initial operating conditions to the post-LOCA containment conditions. As discussed in assumption 23, the RCS liquid is assumed to be subcooled by 30 OF with respect to the RCS pressure of 200 psia (Reference 11.3.12) or at 351.8 IF (v = 0.018005 ft3/Ibm).

Thus, establishing the required subcooling reduces the initial RCS volume of 12160 ft3 (v = 0.02221 ft3/lbm) per assumption 22, by a factor of 1.2335 to a value of 9858 ft3. This net RCS shrinkage of 2302 ft3 must be made up by RWST water.

Since the RWST water is at 1000 F and 14.7 psig (v = 0.016129 ft3 ) the actual volume required to offset the RCS shrinkage is reduced by a factor of 1.1163 to a value of 2062.3 ft3.

15. As discussed in assumption 12, the amount of water used to fill the empty containment spray piping is 487.5 ft3.
16. Per design input 10 the RWST leakage from the sample line would be 39 gallons from the TS minimum level to the RHR pump start.
17. Per Reference 11.1.9, the RWST depletion rate would cause a dynamic pressure drop level error of 1.486 inches across the vent screen which is conservatively assumed to be 80%

plugged. This converts to a 1164.1 gal. error in RWST level (783.36 gal/in)

18. As discussed in assumption 17, the equivalent RWST volume of water would expand by a factor of 1.0314 to the post LOCA sump water conditions of 200 IF at a containment pressure of 22 psig (v = 0.016635 ft3 /Ibm).

11.20XlO3 + 125 The RCS pressure when the first RHR pump is started is approximately 400 psia, the maximum flow from the Sump per reference 11.1.6 is 1819.5 gpm based on a 365.3 psid (400 RCS pressure - 34.7 psia containment pressure). Note that the above flow rate is based on two RHR pumps. When both RHR pumps are started, the actual sump water level should be higher due to additional water contribution from the CS system.

Notes by line item:

1. As discussed in assumption 10, the initial RWST usable volume at 84% is 384,900 gallons.
2. Per Assumption 11, the amount of RWST level lost due to the statistically evaluated instrument uncertainties is 3.5% or 16,041 gallons.
3. Per assumption 11, the usable RWST volume left when the RHR pumps are tripped on RWST low level at 32.56% is 149,200 gallons.
4. This represents the minimum RWST injected volume to the low level RHR pump trip and is calculated as the initial RWST usable volume minus the usable volume at the low level trip minus the level error due to instrument uncertainties. (Item 1 minus (Items 3 and Item 2)).
5. This is the amount of water that discharged from the Containment Spray system during the 3 minute duration after the RHR pumps have tripped until they are restarted (Reference 11.3.4). The Containment Spray flow rate is based on the containment pressure at the time of switchover is 2846 gpm (Reference 11.3.13) and the CS flow volume credited is 8538 gallons. Crediting one train of spray is conservative since the switchover time is based on two trains of containment spray.

,6. As discussed in assumption 15, at the time of switchover the RCS pressure is still above the RHR pump shutoff head so no RHR flow is credited after the low level trip for this evaluation.

7. This is the minimum amount of water that is injected into the reactor via one train of ECCS (one CCP and SIP) during the 3 minute interval after the RHR pumps have tripped until they are restarted by the operator. The blowdown is assumed to be equal to the minimum ECCS flow rate at 807.3 gpm for a total of 2421.9 gallons. This assumption is reasonable as the flow rate from a 4 inch break at 400 psia far exceeds the minimum ECCS flow rate.
8.

No credit is taken for RCS contribution. Per assumption 22, the RCS water is conservatively assumed to be at its normal volume of 12160 ft3.

9. This is the amount of water from the accumulators (Reference 11.3.12). For a 4 inch break, this is 57510 Ibm or 926.0 ft3.
10. Credit is taken for a SAT eductor flow of 63 gpm (Assumption 25) from 173 seconds to 1750 seconds when the RWST low level is reached per reference 11.1.8. The 80 second SAT fill time is subtracted, while an additional 3 minutes is added (until the RHR pump is restarted) for a total SAT contribution of 235. 8 ft3.

condensation on various surfaces is assumed to be 1000 ft3.

12. This is the amount of water diverted to the containment atmosphere as steam. Per FSAR table 6.2-4, the containment pressure at switchover (2000 seconds) is - 20 psig. At this containment pressure (34.7 psia), interpolation from calculation N-224 (Reference 11.1.1) gives the steam held in the atmosphere as 1923 ft3.-
13. As discussed in assumption 19, the volume of water assumed to be still in transit / holdup and not credited to the sump is 519 ft3.
14. This is the additional RWST volume that must fill the RCS to account for the shrinkage of the remaining RCS liquid as it cools from the initial operating conditions to the post-LOCA containment conditions. As discussed in assumption 23, the RCS liquid is assumed to be subcooled by 30 OF with respect to the RCS pressure of 400 psia (Reference 11.3.12) or at 414.6 °F (v = 0.018838 ft3/lbm).

Thus, establishing the required subcooling'reduces the initial RCS volume of 12160 ft3 (v = 0.02221 ft3/lbm) per assumption 22, by a factor of 1.179 to a value of 10314 ft3. This net RCS shrinkage of 1846 ft3 must be made up by RWST water. Since the RWST water is at 1000 F and 14.7 psig (v = 0.016129 ft3 ) the actual volume required to offset the RCS shrinkage is reduced by a factor of 1.1168 to a value of 1580.6 ft3.

15. As discussed in assumption 12, the amount of water used to fill the empty containment spray piping is 487.5 ft3.
16. Per design input 10 the RWST leakage from the sample line would be 45 gallons from the TS minimum level to the RHR pump start
17. Per Reference 11.1.9, the RWST depletion rate would cause a dynamic pressure drop level error of -0.991 inches across the vent screen conservatively assuming it is 80% plugged.

This converts to a 776.3 gal. error in RWST level (783.36 gal/in)

18. As discussed in assumption 17, the equivalent RWST volume of water would expand by a factor of 1.0314 to the post LOCA sump water conditions of 200 OF at a containment pressure of 20 psig (v = 0.016636 ft3/Ibm).

Note that the above flow rate is based on two RHR pumps. When both RHR pumps are started, the actual sump water level should be higher due to additional water contribution from the blowdown from the RCS.

therefore, the contribution from this source is zero.

11. As discussed in assumption 7, the amount of water diverted away from the sump due to condensation on various surfaces is assumed to be 1000 ft3.
12. This is the amount of water diverted to the containment atmosphere as steam. Per Westinghouse Letter PGE-97-543 (Reference 11.3.13), the containment temperature at switchover (5305 seconds) is - 180 OF. At this containment temperature, calculation N-224 (Refer -

Thus, establishing the required subcooling reduces the initial RCS volume of 12160 ft3 (v = 0.02221 ft3/lbm) per assumption 22, by a factor of 1.2441 to a value of 9775 ft3. This net RCS shrinkage of 2385 ft3 must be made up by RWST water.

Since the RWST water is at 1000 F and 14.7 psig (v = 0.016129 ft3 ) the actual volume required to offset the RCS shrinkage is reduced by a factor of 1.1070 to a value of 2154.8 ft3.

14. This is the additional RWST volume that must fill the RCS to account for the shrinkage of the remaining RCS liquid as it cools from the initial operating conditions to the post-LOCA containment conditions.

Ballard DATE 2/27/06 CHK'D BY D.Christensen DATE 2/28/06 Per reference 11.1.5, Volume below 91 feet elevation = 11136 ft3 Volume above 91 feet to 94 feet elevation = 11.20X10 3 ft3/ft +/-_125 ft3/ft From the above table, the volume of water at the sump is 28361 ft3. Therefore, the flood elevation is:

28361-11136 +

91 = 92.52fl.

(Please refer to the conclusion for additional discussion) 11.20X10 3 +125 The RCS pressure when the first RHR pump is started is approximately 590 psia, the maximum flow from the Sump per reference 11.1.6 is 1718.1 gpm based on a 560.8 psid (590 RCS pressure - 29.2 psia containment pressure). Note that the above flow rate is based on two RHR pumps. When both RHR pumps are started, the actual sump water level should be higher due to additional water contribution from the blowdown from the RCS.

Notes by line item:

1. As discussed in assumption 10, the initial RWST usable volume at 84% is 384,900 gallons.
2. Per Assumption 11, the amount of RWST level lost due to the statistically evaluated instrument uncertainties is 3.5% or 16,041 gallons.
3. Per assumption 11, the usable RWST volume left when the RHR pumps are tripped on RWST low level at 32.56% is 149,200 gallons.
4. This represents the minimum RWST injected volume to the low level RHR pump trip and is calculated as the initial RWST usable volume minus the usable volume at the low level trip minus the level error due to instrument uncertainties. (Item 1 minus (Items 3 and Item 2)).
5. For this case, containment spray system did not reach its setpoint (Reference 11.3.13) therefore, the contribution from this source is zero.
6. The RCS pressure at the time of switchover is still above the shutoff head of the RHR pumps (Reference 11.3.14) and per assumption 15, there is no RHR flow is credited after the low level trip for this evaluation.
7. This is the amount of RCS blowdown that occurs during the 3 minute interval after the RHR pumps have tripped and until they are restarted by the operator. This RCS blowdown rate is 350 Ibm/sec or 2534 gpm at the time of switchover per Reference 11.3.13.

8. No credit is taken for RCS contribution. Per assumption 22, the RCS water is conservatively assumed to be at its normal volume of 12160 ft3.
9. This is the amount of water from the accumulators (Reference 11.3.13). For a 2 inch break, this is 69885 Ibm or 1125.2 ft3.
10. For this case, containment spray system did not reach its setpoint (Reference 11.3.13),

therefore, the contribution from this source is zero. 1_As-d is-cCu-d-i-a-s-su mption-7,-the-amount-ofwater-diverted-awayfrom-the sumpdue-to-condensation on various surfaces is assumed to be 1000 ft3.

12. This is the amount of water diverted to the containment atmosphere as steam. Per reference 11.3.13, the containment temperature is - 2000 F. At this containment temperature, calculation N-224 (Reference 11.1.1 ) gives the steam held in the atmosphere as 1091 ft3.
13. As discussed in assumption 19, the volume of water assumed to be still in transit / holdup and not credited to the sump is 519 ft3.
14. This is the additional RWST volume that must fill the RCS to account for the shrinkage of the remaining RCS liquid as it cools from the initial operating conditions to the post-LOCA containment conditions. As discussed in assumption 23, the RCS liquid is assumed to be subcooled by 30 OF with respect to the RCS pressure of 590 psia (Reference 11.3.12) or at 439.59 °F (v = 0.019220 ft3/lbm).

Thus, establishing the required subcooling reduces the initial RCS volume of 12160 ft3 (v = 0.02221 ft3/lbm) per assumption 22, by a factor of 1.1556 to a value of 10523 ft3. This net RCS shrinkage of 1637 ft3 must be made up by RWST water. Since the RWST water is at 1000 F and 14.7 psig (v = 0.016129 ft3 ) the actual volume required to offset the RCS shrinkage is reduced by a factor of 1.1916 to a value of 1373.6 ft3.

15. For this case, containment spray system did not reach its setpoint (Reference 11.3.13),

therefore, the contribution from this source is zero.

16. Per design input 10 the RWST leakage from the sample line would be 137 gallons from the TS minimum level to the RHR pump start.
17. Per Reference 11.1.9, the RWST depletion rate would cause a dynamic pressure drop level error of 0.039 inches across the vent screen which is conservatively assumed to be 80%

plugged. This converts to a 30.6 gal. error in RWST level (783.36 gal/in)

18. As discussed in assumption 17, the equivalent RWST volume of water would expand by a factor of 1.0314 to the post LOCA sump water conditions of 200 OF at a containment pressure of 29.2 psia (v = 0.016636 ft3 /Ibm). The water in the RWST is assumed to be at a maximum of 100 OF and 14.7 psig

Administrative RWST Level-Minimum Post-LOCA Sump Level The eight minimum post-LOCA sump level cases are also calculated for the initial condition in which the non-seismic Reverse Osmosis (ROS) skid is connected to the RWST with the potential for additional RWST leakage due to failure of the ROS. Whenever the ROS skid is connected to the RWST, the initial level is administratively ensured to be at least 90% by setting the RWST low alarm setpoint to 91% per LAR-00-02 Commitment 4 as documented in AR A0503748 (Reference 11.3.9).

The only terms that change for these administrative RWST level cases are the RWST injection volume, the RWST sample line leakage, and the leakage from the ROS skid which is assumed to fail.

As discussed in assumption 10, the minimum net RWST injection volume between the 90%

administrative RWST level and the RHR pump trip setpoint is 253,117 gal. This represents a gain in RWST injected volume of 253,117 - 219,659 = 33,458 gallons compared to the Tech Spec minimum results above. Since the ECCS injection flow rates for the eight LOCA cases have not changed, the additional RWST injection time until switchover occurs is directly proportional to the fractional increase in the injected volume. For example in Case 1, the 866 seconds until switchover occurs is increased by the ratio 253,117 / 219,659 = 1.15 to a new switchover time of 996 seconds.

The additional sample line leakage is calculated based on subtracting the N-073 integral leakage value at the RWST lo level for the Tech Spec Minimum case from the integral leakage value for the Administrative RWST level as summarized in N-073 Table 9. Therefore, the additional sample line leakage or Case 1 is 23 -19 = 4 gallons which is rounded up to 4 gallons. The other additional sample line leakage values for the other Cases are as follows:

Case 2 = 47 - 39 = 8 gal.

Case 3 = 54 - 45 9 gal.

Case4= 143 -119 =24gal.

Case 5 = 103 - 86 = 17 gal.

Case 6 = 165 - 137 = 28 gal.

Case 7 = 515 - 430 = 85 gal.

Case 8 = 530 - 442 = 88 gal.

Per assumption 29, the ROS leakage of 70 gpm continues until the recirculation time is reached plus the additional three minutes assumed to start the RHR pumps. Therefore the total ROS leakage is calculated as 70 gpm x (996 + 180 ) seconds /60sec/min, which is rounded to 1372 gallons. Note that for cases, which last more than 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />, the maximum ROS leakage is 21,000 gallons since as discussed in assumption 29, the ROS leakage is terminated by that time. The total additional leakage is subtracted from the additional RWST injection volume of 33,458 gallons to give a net increase in the Case 1 sump volume of 32,082 gallons. The net additional RWST injection volume is then increased by the appropriate volumetric temperature correction factor of 1.0313 which was established for Case 1 in Section 7.2. The administrative Case 1 total sump volume is the temperature adjusted additional injection volume plus the sump liquid level determined in Section 7-2 or 1.0313 x 32,082 + 254"550 = 287,636 gallons or a sump level of 93.41 feet. The other cases results are listed in Table 8-2 below.

Conclusions The results indicate that the most limiting cases for the minimum post LOCA sump level occur with Case 3 and Case 5, which are intermediate break sizes of 4" and 3", respectively. Both of these cases assume a minimum ECCS injection capability and also result in a CS actuation. The CS actuation drains the RWST quicker, causes an earlier recirculation switchover time, and provides less opportunity to perform an RCS cooldown. This in combination with less ECCS cooling, results in a significantly larger RCS temperature and pressure at the time of switchover. Thus, there is

-much-less-accumulator volume-injected-during-tte-e-vent,_andtbheablQw-down rate out the break is less, as would be expected with two phase flow conditions. Note that these two cases assume two CS trains for minimizing the time to the RWST low level switchover, but only credit one CS train for additional spray inventory to the sump during the 3 minute RHR restart period. This conservatively bounds the offsetting effects of break size and CS flow rate with respect to minimum available RCS cooldown time and liquid inventory to the sump.

Case 4 also models a 4" break size, but it assumes maximum ECCS injection capability, which results in a less limiting minimum sump level. The maximum ECCS cooling helps maintain the RCS blowdown as mostly liquid. This reduces the containment pressure, prevents CS actuation, and provides more time to perform an RCS cooldown. While the RCS cooldown causes more shrinkage and retains more RWST inventory in the RCS, this effect is more than offset by the increased accumulator injection and greater liquid break flow rates into the sump.

Cases 6, 7, and 8 demonstrate that as the break size is reduced to 2" or less, the sump level begins increasing and becomes less limiting. These smaller break sizes have a lower mass and energy release rate such that the containment pressure never reaches the Containment Spray system actuation setpoint. This dramatically increases the RWST drain time and allows for a significant RCS cooldown by the time the RHR pumps are restarted. As discussed earlier, the RCS cooldown provides significant benefits for increasing the net sump liquid volume.

Cases 1 and 2 demonstrate that as the break size increases to 6" and larger, the sump level also begins increasing and becomes less limiting. As Case 1 shows, the RCS spill contribution for a large break significantly increases the sump volume. The Case 2 results for a 6" break are extremely conservative in that they do not credit any RCS spill volume, while analysis results indicate a significant fraction of the RCS would be lost for a break this size. In addition to the RCS spill fraction assumed, the larger break sizes reduce the RCS pressure enough to ensure the full accumulator volume is injected.

The wide spectrum of break sizes and ECCS assumptions along with the conservative assumptions for these eight cases establish a conservatively bounding evaluation of the minimum post LOCA sump liquid volume for DCPP.

Appendix A: Net RWST Injection Volume Error This appendix performs a statistical based evaluation of the RWST level indication and RHR trip setpoint uncertainties that accounts for the common error terms of the level transmitter and the two out of three logic of the RHR trip function. Table A-1 lists the individual uncertainties for the level transmitter (LT-920, LT-921, and LT-922), level indicator (LI-920, LI-921, and LI-922), and RHR trip level setpoint (LC-920A, LS-921, and LS-922), and the total statistical error as compiled by calcu lation r-J1-424(Ref erence 11_1_3_)

As discussed in Assumption 11, all of the level transmitter error terms (except for the one inch bias error) can be eliminated since they will be canceled out during the calculation of the net RWST injection volume error which is the initial RWST level error minus the RHR trip setpoint error. Also discussed in Assumption 11, is the conservative application of the +1 inch bias error to the RHR trip setpoint (but not the initial RWST level) to conservatively bound any change in the auxiliary and/or fuel building ventilation systems after the LOCA has occurred. Table A-2 lists the applicable error terms for the RWST level indication and RHR trip setpoint error values, and shows the level transmitter terms which have been canceled as highlighted in bold text. The individual channel uncertainty (CU) using the SRSS methodology for the RWST level indication and RHR trip setpoint is then calculated are as follows using the 589 inch span of the RWST level channel per J-142 (design input 5.2):

CU-

= (0 + SQRT (2.95A2 + 4.71A2+ 2A2) ) / 589 or CU- = -1.00%

Figure A-1 illustrates the nominal values for the minimum Tech Spec RWST level and nominal RHR trip setpoint, and also shows the relative impact of the instrument uncertainty on the actual RWST levels. As shown in the Figure, the net percent of the RWST volume injected (LNET) accounting for the instrument errors for any combination of errors between the initial RWST level (LINIT) and the RHR trip level (LRHR) is calculated as:

=

Where EIND is the RWST initial level error and ERHR is the RHR trip setpoint error.

The equation can be re-arranged as:

LNET = ( LINIT - LRHR ) + ( EIND - ERHR)

The term ( EIND - ERHR) is the net error in the RWST injection volume (ENET ) to the instrument uncertainties.

In order to evaluate the potential impact of the 2 out 3 trip logic on the RHR trip setpoint and the net RWST injection volume error ENET Table A-3 lists the twelve different possibilities of error combinations and calculates the net resulting error for each case. Since the RWST level indication error is equally distributed (+/-2.31 %), there is a 50% probability the error will be positive and a 50%

probability that the error will be negative. Since the RHR trip logic requires two out of the three channels to reach their trip setpoint in order to actuate, there are three possible combinations of a positive 2/3 trip logic and three possible combinations of a negative 2/3 trip logic. As Table A-3 shows, this results in a possible six positive error cases and six negative error cases. There is an equal probability that the actual error values could fall anywhere between the maximum positive or negative values. However, any value less than the maximum error would result in a smaller net error, and is bounded by evaluating the net error based on the maximum values.

The RHR trip does not occur until two out of the three channels have reached their setpoint.

Therefore, for each case, the net RWST injection volume error (ENET) is calculated by subtracting the lowest of the 2/3 RHR trip values from the RWST initial level error value. Table A-3 summarizes the twelve possible error cases with the selected error values highlighted in bold text. For example the Case 2 and Case 9 net errors are detailed in Figure A-1 and are calculated as follows:

Case 2 ENET-= - 2.31% - (+1.17%)

- 3.48 %

Case 9 ENET= + 2.31% - (-1.17%)

+ 3.48 %

Table A-4 summarizes the twelve possible net error case values. The maximum negative error value is generated in Cases 2 and 4 or a value of -3.48%. Therefore, assuming a maximum negative net RWST injection volume error of -3.5% conservatively bounds the potential effects of the 2/3 logic with respect to the initial RWST level indication error and the RWST low low level RHR trip setpoint error.

Appendix B: Enercon Review Comments Note that the Table 1 comments from Reference 11.3.22 shown here, have been designated a through k to enable correlation with respect to the Revision 4 summary provided in section 2.

Table 1: Diablo Canyon Post-LOCA Reactor Containment Building Minimum Water Level Comments and Recommendations Comment Recommendation I

a. For a large break LOCA (Case 1), this calculation states that the containment sump includes about 80% of the RCS inventory in addition to the SI accumulator inventory. Based on Enercon's experience performing containment minimum flood level calculations, the RCS holdup volume assumed in this calculation is approximately equivalent to the RCS volume below the bottom of the RCS hot leg and cold leg piping. A double ended guillotine break in the cross-over leg (sometimes referred to the pump suction leg or intermediate leg) at the connection with the steam generator will result in significantly larger RCS holdup volume. For a break at this location, it is expected that most of the RCS loop piping as well as the reactor vessel up to the top elevation of the cold leg and hot leg piping will holdup up water inventory. Based on the RCS volumes at other U.S. PWRs, this RCS holdup volume is approximately equal to half of the total RCS volume.

In the long term, the steam that fills the steam generators, pressurizer and the upper portion of the reactor vessel will condense causing vacuum conditions. Because of the loop seals (water traps) in the RCS cross-over leg and the reactor vessel downcomer, noncondensables from the containment building may not be drawn into these components. Instead, ECCS inventory could be drawn into these components causing the entire RCS to be filled with ECCS inventory. This impact is not expected to happen for a long period of time after the LOCA (many hours and possibly days).

Include a larger RCS holdup volume for the large break LOCA case based on the two considerations discussed - RCS water volume up to the top elevation of loop piping and ECCS inventory retention due to long term internal RCS steam condensation. Enercon is currently discussing this approach with Westinghouse. In the long term, ECCS inventory could be held up in all of the steam generators and the pressurizer if the steam in these components (from the blowdown) condenses.

b. A pressurizer surge line break was not considered. Given the size of this break, it is expected that the majority of the RCS will blowdown through the break. However, because the elevation of the break is above the RCS loop piping, it is expected that the steam generators and the upper portion of the reactor vessel could refill to the same elevation as the break.

Consider adding a pressurizer surge line break case, which would include a larger RCS holdup volume than the LBLOCA case. Adding this case may not be necessary if the break in the pressurizer surge line is evaluated with the small break water level. These small break water levels assume that the entire volume of the reactor vessel and steam generators retain ECCS inventory

c. This calculation currently credits portions of the SI accumulator inventory for small break LOCA cases 2 to 8. During a small break LOCA, the high head ECCS pumps may prevent the RCS from depressurizing to the cover pressure within the SI accumulators. Based on Enercon's experience at other U.S PWRs, the operators could have the option of closing the SI accumulator outlet valve prior to the accumulators emptying, thus retaining the remaining water volume within the accumulators.

It should be determined if the SI accumulator volume credited for these small break LOCA cases considered the possibility of the operators securing the SI accumulators. If not, the small break LOCA cases should consider the possibility of excluding the SI accumulator inventory.

The water in transit holdup volume of 250 ft3 Describe the containment spray flow water-in-specified in Assumption 19 compares fairly transit holdup quantity as a separate quantity in closely with the volumes that Enercon has the assumptions.

Further, provide some and the inventory traveling from the break.

Appendix C: DCPP RETRAN Model RCS Volume versus Liquid Level The table in this appendix summarizes the volumes, elevations, and heights of the DCPP RETRAN model which is used to determine the RCS liquid volume associated with a liquid level at the elevation at the top of the RCS hot leg. Per the OIM Figure A-1-3 (Reference 11.3.23), the top of the RCS hot leg is at elevation 108.25 feet. The RCS volumes with a maximum elevation height less than or equal to this value are completely filled with liquid. The RCS volumes with a minimum elevation greater than the hot leg elevation are empty. The RCS volumes with a minimum elevation below 108.25 feet but with a maximum elevation greater than this value are partially file-d-withTiqi--7he

-partial volume occupied by liquid is determined based on assuming that the RETRAN control volume is linear as a function of RCS level. This is reasonable and physically accurate for the RETRAN control volumes of interest. The partial volume occupied by liquid is then equal to the fraction of the net RCS liquid height within the volume as compared to the total volume height. For example the partial liquid volume in the upper downcomer (RETRAN volume 1) is determined as:

V1 = (108.25 - 103.92) / 9

  • 280 = 134.7 ft3 The RETRAN RCS volumes are color coded below to delineate which volumes are completely filled, partially filled, and empty. It should be noted that the RCS loop volumes listed are for the single RCS loop modeled in RETRAN. Since there are actually four RCS loops, the total loop volume is equal to four times the individual single loop volume value. Summing up the net filled volume values form the table indicates that the RCS liquid volume at the hot leg elevation of 108.25 feet is equal to 4349.5 ft3.

The table also determines the relative retention fraction this volume represents with respect to the normal operating RCS volume. Per OIM Figure A-1-3, the nominal pressurizer liquid level elevation is at about 144.33 feet. For this condition, all RCS volumes are completely filled with liquid except for the pressurizer which is partially filled. The pressurizer partial liquid volume is determined the same as above and is:

V402 = (144.33 - 1113.16) / 52.8

  • 1800 = 1062.6 ft3 The total RCS liquid volume at the normal full power operating conditions is summed up to be 11273.1 ft 3.

The RCS liquid volume retention fraction associated with the top of the RCS hot leg elevation is then determined to be 4349.5 / 11273.1 or about 39%.

Volume is partially filled Volume is completely filled Volume is empty

Initial Issue.

Revision 1:

The 1R14 as-installed sump strainers height is incorporated. The sump level instrumentation uncertainties sensitivity section in revision 0 is deleted as sump level volume changes are determined only based on depleted RWST inventory. This methodology is documented in Reference 12.1.8.

Revision 2:

Delete level instrument uncertainties since it is addressed in CaIc. J-142A (Ref. 12.1.4). Include the conversion (A0708213) for the 93.6% minimum RWST level to the minimum required RWST measurable volume in Section 7.1.D. A sump level margin assessment is added in Section 7.2 to ensure the full submergence of the GE sump strainers.

This calculation only becomes applicable for each Unit after installation of the new GE recirculation sump strainers is completed and the License Amendment Request (LAR) for the new minimum Tech Spec RWST level has been implemented.

1. PURPOSE The purpose of this calculation is to determine the minimum required RWST water level to provide sufficient water inventory to meet the design requirement of the new GE containment recirculation sump strainers which were procured to address Generic Safety Issue (GSI)-191 (Ref. 12.3.1) sump strainers performance concerns.

This calculation also determines the containment sump suction flow rate versus recirculation sump water level as the ECCS pumps are aligned to the sump during cold leg switchover.

2. BACKGROUND GSI-191 requires licensees to address the potential of the containment recirculation sump strainers clogging which may occur as a result of a LOCA. Debris may include insulation material dislodged by the impingement of a LOCA jet as well as loose dust and dirt already inside the containment. DCPP has contracted GE to design new sump strainers to be installed during 1R14 and 2R14. The new GE sump strainers are of a submerged design so this calculation determines the minimum required water inventory in the RWST required for submergence of the strainers. In addition, this calculation also provides sump suction flow rate versus sump water height for strainers design considerations.

3. ASSUMPTIONS
1. Figure 1 shows a portion of the new GE sump strainers (Ref. 12.3.2). The vertical height of the sump strainers is 29", or 2'-5" above the 91' containment floor elevation.

The top of the installed sump strainers is at 93.59' (Ref.

12.1.9). A maximum strainers height of 93.6' is assumed in this calculation.

2. Since an increase in the initial RWST water inventory will result in a slight increase in the RWST drain down time, there is also a longer period for RWST sample line leakage to occur than calculated in N-073 (Reference 12.1.10) and used in the post-LOGA sump level calculation N-227 (Reference 12.1.2). This additional RWST leakage penalty is not directly calculated but is bounded by assuming a conservative increase to the calculated additional required RWST volume as discussed in Section 7.1.A
3. The post-LOCA sump level calculated in N-227 was based on a very conservative and minimum time interval of three minutes from the RWST Low level trip to the start of the first RHR pump. This calculation is based on STA-061 which establishes the design basis EGGS switchover sequence of events as presented in FSARU Table 6.3-5 and which determined the first RHR pump was started five minutes after the RWST Low level trip occurs. In order to' determine the relative increase in the post-LOCA sump level for the subsequent EGGS switchover time intervals as established in STA-061, it is appropriate to assume that the increased initial net post-LOCA sump level as based on the N-227 calculated value occurs at the STA-061 operator action time associated with starting the first RHR pump as discussed in Section 7.3.
4. This calculation uses the same operator action time intervals and EGGS flow values as STA-061 for the post-LOGA sump level versus time evaluation since this was the original basis provided to GE for the sump strainer design.
5. For the sump strainers submergence margin assessment, a +/- 0.65% RWST local gauge indication accuracy and a +/- 1.01% accuracy on the Low level RHRP trip transmitters per Calc. J-142A are assumed.

5. METHOD AND EQUATION

SUMMARY

This calculation determines the minimum RWST inventory required to ensure the minimum sump strainers water level of 93.6' is achieved prior to the initial RHR pump start during the cold leg switchover sequence. Then, starting with this initial sump level, this calculation integrates the total flow from the RWST during the cold leg switchover process to track sump level increases until no pumps are taking suction from the RWST.

7. BODY OF CALCULATION The first portion of this calculation is to determine the required RWST Water inventory to ensure the sump water level reaches > 93.6' to submerge the new sump strainers when the first RHR pump is aligned to the sump.

The second portion of this calculation is to determine the sump water level changes as ECGS pumps are aligned to take suction from the sump.

7.1 Minimum Required RWST Water Level in Percent Measured 7.1.A Additional Water Inventory To Raise Sump Level From 93.41' to 93.6' The containment unoccupied area between elevation 93' and 94' is 11,325.7 ft2 /ft per Design Input # 1 and the minimum sump water level for a large break LOCA is 93.41' with RWST water level at 90% per Design Input # 2; hence the additional RWST water inventory needed to raise sump level from 93.41' to 93.6' is:

sumpV93.6'

= (93.6' - 93.41') X 11,325.7 ft2

= 2151.9 ft3, or 16,097 gallons Since an increase in water inventory requirement in the sump will result in a slight increase in the RWST drain down time, a longer period for RWST leakage will also result than was assumed in N-227 (Reference 12.1.2).

Thus, an additional leakage penalty is required as discussed in Assumption 2. Although the total sump water volume penalty due to RWST leakage is small (e.g., a 15% increase in switchover time resulted in a 4 gallon penalty increase per Reference 12.1.2), a total RWST inventory increase of 16,500 gallons is conservatively assumed in this calculation to account for any additional RWST leakage or other potential flow diversion.

7.1.B RWST Water Inventory Per % Level Measured Per Design Input # 3, the radius of the RWST is 20' and per Design Input 4, the 100% RWST measured level span is 585"; thus the RWST water volume per % is:

RWSTVgaI/o%. = 3.14159 X (20')2 X 7.4805 gal/ft3 X 585'712 / 100%

= 4,582.63 / %

RWSTL%.

= 90% + 16,500 gallons / 4,582.63 gal/%

= 93.6%

7.1.D The Tech Spec Minimum Required Measured & Contained RWST Inventory The minimum measured RWST water inventory for the Tech Spec at 93.6% is calculated as:

RWSTLmeasure.

= 93.6% X 4,582.63 gal / %

= 428,934 gallons To conservatively specify the Minimum RWST inventory, the above value is rounded down to 428,900 gallons, measurable volume Per design input 9, the un-measurable below the level instrument tap is 26,438 gallons, therefore, the total RWST contained volume corresponding to 93.6%

measured level is:

RWSTLcontained. = 428,934 gallons + 26,438 gallons

= 455,372 gallons To conservatively specify the Minimum RWST contained volume for the Tech.

Spec., the above value is rounded down to 455,300 gallons contained volume.

It should be noted that this reduction of 72 gallons in the RWST volume has an insignificant effect on the earlier calculated volume required for a sump level of 93.6 ft 7.2 Assessment of Margin Gained Due to More Accurate RWST Instrumentation Calculation J-142A establishes that the new RWST local gauge indication will provide an accuracy on the new TS minimum RWST level of +/- 0.65% while the accuracy on the Low level trip will be improved to +/- 1.01% with new transmitters.

As originally established in calculation N-227 Appendix A, the maximum net error in the RWST injected volume is based on a minimum initial RWST level minus the maximum or earliest lo level trip value. Therefore, based on J-142A, the maximum net RWST injection volume error would be: (-0.65%) - ( 1.01% ) = -1.66%, which

7 of 12 SUBJECT Minimum Required RWST Level for GE Sump Strainers MADE BY Anderson Lin DATE 9 / 28 / 2007 CHK'D BY.Terry Ballard DATE 9 / 28 / 2007 is rounded to -1.7%. This net error is less than the -3.5% value used in calculation N-227 and represents a net increase in the RWST injection volume to the sump equivalent to 1.8 % RWST measured level. Since the measured RWST level represents 4582.63 gal/%, this is an increase of 8248 gallons in the net RWST injection volume. This would increase the calculated minimum post-LOCA sump level (93.6') at the time of the first RHR pump as follows:

SumpL18:31

= 93.6' + 8248 gal / 7.4805 gal/ft3 / 11325.7 ft3 / ft

= 93.7' Therefore, the more accurate RWST level instrumentation documented in calculation J-142A represents an increase in margin of 0.1 feet to the minimum post-LOCA sump level.

7.3 Sump Water Level Increases During Cold Leg Switchover Process The post-LOCA sump level versus time during cold leg switchover sequence is calculated per STA-061.

Once the recirculation sump strainers are fully submerged (with margin as demonstrated in Section 7.2), it eliminates the mechanism for the possible channel flow inside the plenum of the sump strainers (see figure 1). At the maximum RHR suction flow of 7,769 gpm, where both RHR pumps are taking suction from a total strainer area of over 3,000 square feet, the flow velocity across the strainers is insignificant to entrain air into the sump. This has been demonstrated during the actual GE recirculation sump strainer tests (Reference 12.3.5).

Per Design Input 6, the maximum RHR pump sump suction flow is 4,541.6 gpm when providing suction flow to two SIPs and two CCPs during ECCS cold leg recirculation operation.

This flow is conservatively increased to 4562 gpm for this evaluation. In the ECCS cold leg recirculation configuration, the maximum flow for two CCPs and for two SIPs used in STA-061 (Reference 12.1.7) is 900 gpm each.

Thus, the RHR suction flow just prior to ECCS cold leg recirculation operation is estimated at:

4,562 gpm - 900 gpm - 900 gpm = 2,762 gpm The maximum Containment spray flow during cold leg switchover used in STA-061 is 6,800 gpm.

The critical steps which alter-the RWST water inventory depletion rates and sump suction flow rates during the cold leg switchover alignments are documented in STA-061 (Reference 12.1.7).

The reference chronologically lists these critical

This evaluation of the additional RWST inventory uses the same time intervals and nomenclature, and establishes the following inventory and flow conditions for the subsequent critical steps as follows:

7.3.A 13:31 to 18:31 (RWST low level RHRP trip to start of RHRP #2 taking suction from sump)

Per Reference 12.1.7, the RHRPs are tripped off at 13:31 and RHRP #2 is restarted taking suction from the sump at 18:31.

Per the Assumption 3, the sump level reaches 93.6' at 18:31.

At this time, the CCPs, SIPs and CSPs continue taking water from the RWST.

7.3.B 18:31 to 19:26 (RHRP #2 aligned to both SIPs when 8804B is opened)

During this period, right before opening 8804B, both CSPs, CCPs and the SIPs are diverting water from the RWST into the sump. The sump water level just before 19:26 is:

SumpL 19:26.

= 93.6' + [(19:26 - 18:31) min X (6,800 gpm + 900 gpm + 900 gpm)]

/ (7.4805 X 11,325.7)

During this period, right before opening valves 8807A/B, both CSPs and both CCPs are diverting water from the RWST into the sump. The sump water level just before 20:21 is:

SumpL 20:21.

= 93.7' + [(20:21 - 19:26) min X (6,800 gpm + 900 gpm)] / (7.4805 X 11,325.7)

Thus, the total RHRP #2 suction from the sump during this interval from 93.7' to 93.8' is 2,762 gpm + 900 gpm = 3,662 gpm.

7.3.D 20:21 to 21:46 when RHRP #1 is started During this period, right before opening the 8807A/B valves, both CSPs and both CCPs are pumping water from the RWST into the containment sump. The sump water level just before 20:21 is:

SumpL21:46.

93.9' Note that the submergence of the sump strainers when the second RHR pump is started is: 93.9' - 93.6' = 0.3', or 3.6".

At 20:21, Valves 8807A/B are opened and RHRP #2 provides flow to cold legs #3 and #4, both SIPs, and both CCPs. Therefore, the total sump suction flow from RHRP#2 during this interval from 93.8' to 93.9' is 4,562 gpm.

7.3.E 21:46 to 29:17 when CSPs are shutoff During this period, right before shutting off both CSPs, the sump water level at 29:17 is:

=

93.9' + [(29:17 - 21:46) min X 6,800 gpm] / (7.4805 X 12,079.0)

= 94.5' At this point, the sump submergence depth is: 94.5' - 93.6' = 0.9', or 10.8" above the top of the sump strainers.

At 21:46 when both RHR pumps take suction from the sump, the maximum total RHR pump flow from the sump for the interval 93.9' to 94.5' is 7,769 gpm per Design Input 5.

At 29:17, the water in the RWST reaches the 4% alarm level and the operator shuts down both CSPs. The total sump suction flow for both RHRPs then remains at 7,769 gpm.

8. RESULTS To maintain the GE sump strainers submerged at 93.6' when the first RHR pump is started, the minimum RWST water level must be > 93.6% (i.e., minimum measurable water volume of 428,900 gallons, or 455,300 gallons contained volume).

The sump water level changes as a function of critical cold leg switchover steps are shown in Table 1 below:

9. MARGIN ASSESSMENT The new GE sump strainers result in a significant loss of operating margin between the Tech Spec minimum measured RWST level, the RWST high level alarm setpoint, and the RWST overflow level. This results in a significant negative impact on operating margin.
10. CONCLUSION To maintain the GE sump strainers submerged, the minimum measured RWST water level must be > 93.6% which corresponds to a minimum measured volume of 428,900 gallons in the RWST or a contained volume of 455,300 gallons.
11. IMPACT EVALUATION An LAR is required to revise Tech Spec SR 3.5.4.2 to increase the RWST minimum level from the current value of Ž> 81.5% to Ž_ 93.6%.

(Reference 12.2.1).

This calculation only becomes applicable for each Unit after installation of the new GE recirculation sump strainers is completed and the License Amendment Request (LAR) for the new minimum Tech Spec RWST level has been implemented.

SR 3.5.4.2 The RWST water volume should be verified every 7 days to be above the required minimum level in order to ensure that a sufficient initial supply is available for ECCS injection and CS System pump operation and to support continued ECCS on recirculation. Since the RWST volume is normally stable and the contained volume required is protected by a computer alarm, a 7 day Frequency is appropriate and has been shown to be acceptable through operating experience.

To ensure the minimum contained borated water volume of 455,300 gallons (equivalent to 93.6% RWST level uncorrected for uncertainty) is met, the RWST level shall be maintained > 94% using the temporary installed Heise gauge (Unit 1), or > 94.25% using the local digital indicator on LT-920, LT-921, or LT-922 (lowest reading)

(Unit 2).

SR 3.5.4.3 The boron concentration of the RWST should be verified every 7 days to be within the required limits. This SR ensures that the reactor will remain subcritical following a LOCA. Further, it assures that the resulting sump pH will be maintained in an acceptable range so that boron precipitation in the core will not occur and the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components will be minimized. Since the RWST volume is normally stable, a 7 day sampling Frequency to verify boron concentration is appropriate and has been shown to be acceptable through operating experience.
