RPIOIB/10001022 Page 2 of 7 Procedure For Site Fire Damage Assessment And Repair NOTE: This procedure in an implementing procedure to the Oconee Nuclear Site Emergency Plan and must be forwarded to Emergency Planning within three (3) working days of approval.

1. Symptoms 1.1 A major damaging fire occurs as described in the Oconee Site Appendix "R" scenarios:

Enclosure 5.1: Turbine And Auxiliary Building Fire Scenario Description Enclosure 5.2: Turbine Building Fire Scenario Description Enclosure 5.3: Reactor Building Fire Scenario Description Enclosure 5.4: Fire In The West Penetration Room Or SSF Cable Trench Scenario Description Enclosure 5.5: Fire At CT-4 Transformer Scenario Description 1.2 Portions of the protected area require evacuation/personnel relocation or site evacuation/personnel relocation may be required due to plant damage.

2. Immediate Actions NOTE: The following immediate actions are performed by Operations from the Control Room.

2.1 If required, the Fire Brigade is dispatched to put out the fire per the ONS Fire Plan.

2.2 Warn all Site personnel of fire location.

2.3 Activate the outside Site Assembly Horn to notify personnel outside the reach of the PA System.

2.4 Activate the Technical Support Center, Operations Support Center, and Emergency Operations Facility.

RP/0/B/1000/022 Page 3 of 7

3. Subsequent Actions 3.1 Operations Group: At the direction of the TSC maintain the unit(s) in hot shutdown while performing simultaneously the actions required per the following procedures:

"* EP/1,2,3/A/1800/001, Emergency Operating Procedure

"* OP/0/A/1 102/024, Operational Guidelines Following Fire In Auxiliary Building, Turbine Building Or Vital Area

"* AP/O/A/1700/025, Standby Shutdown Facility Emergency Operating Procedure

"* OP/0/A/1 102/025, Cooldown Following A Fire 3.2 If the TSC/OSC is not habitable (or may become so) due to fire, smoke, temperature, or radiological concerns, it should be relocated as soon as practical to the alternate location as agreed to by the Emergency Coordinator and OSC Manager. Continued availability of lighting, ventilation, and communications equipment must be considered. Refer to RP/0/B/1000/25, OSC Coordinator Procedure, for details.

3.3 Dispatch assessment teams to determine extent of site damage and report findings back to the OSC.

3.3.1 OSC determines if repair procedures exist for damaged equipment, and notifies the TSC. Procedures listed on Enclosure 5.6, List Of Site Appendix "R" Fire Procedures, as well as other appropriate Maintenance Procedure should be used.

3.3.2 If procedures do not exist to make the necessary equipment repairs in order to achieve cold shutdown within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, the TSC will initiate required actions to evaluate, engineer, and proceduralize as appropriate the methods of repair.

3.4 Once the damage assessment is complete, the OSC ensures additional personnel required to bring the unit(s) to Cold Shutdown within approximately 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of the initiating event are identified and available.

3.4.1 Workforce will be allocated for repairs per referenced procedures listed on Enclosure 5.6, List Of Site Appendix "R" Fire Procedures. These personnel are only to be dispatched as deemed necessary by OSC Manager.

3.4.2 Site specific departmental repair responsibilities are listed in Enclosure 5.7, Site Specific Departmental Repair Responsibilities For TSC And OSC, for the TSC and OSC.

3.4.3 Since repair activities continue for an extended time, the OSC will ensure timely callout of relief personnel for repair workers and OSC members. OSC staffing may be altered as necessary.

RP/O/B/1000/022 Page 4 of 7 3.4.4 Refer to Enclosure 5.8, Maintenance Telephone List Of Appendix "R" Supervision.

3.5 The OSC obtains feedback from the Fire Brigade concerning fire status and accessible work staging locations. The locations are listed on Enclosure 5.9, Fire Damage Repair Work Locations). As these areas become accessible, work location supervisors, with Safety and RP support, are sent to make surveys. The following information is reported to the OSC:

"* special safety precautions necessary due to structural damage, electrical shorts, etc.

"* need for lighting

"* need for ventilation

"* RP requirements

"* repair procedure applicability (which steps may be omitted) 3.6 Refer to Enclosure 5.10, Repair Priorities And Descriptions, for a brief description and priority list of equipment repairs.

3.7 Refer to Enclosure 5.11, Repair Work Flow Diagram, for an estimated timeline to be used as a guide in establishing equipment repair priorities.

3.8 Have the OSC Maintenance Manager inform Site Services Group to locate the necessary equipment and cable reels from Enclosure 5.12, Appendix "R" Material List, and begin moving these to the safe work location listed in Enclosure 5.9, Fire Damage Repair Work Locations.

As described in Enclosure 5.9, Fire Damage Repair Work Locations, initial staging of major equipment is performed according to MP/0/A/3009/012, Emergency Plan For Replacement Of HPI, LPI, And LPSW Motors Following A Fire In The Turbine Building Or Auxiliary Building and IP/0/A/0050/002, Site Damage Control Procedure. This includes:

"* moving HPIP and LPIP motors from Bldg. #8093 (WHSE # 3) to the Hot Shop

"* moving LPSWP motors from Bldg. #8093 (WHSE # 3) to the Unit 1 Heater Bay

"* moving the emergency switchgear trailer from Bldg. #8019 (WHSE # 2G) to the Unit I & 2 electrical blockhouse

" moving valve control panels from Bldg. #8093 (WHSE #3) and valve control cables from Bldg. #8019 (WHSE #2G) to the West Penetration Room's outside doors

  • moving 4160V power cables from Bldg. #8019 (WHSE # 2G) to the Unit 1 & 2 electrical blockhouse
  • lifting cable trench covers at the North end of the SSF

RP/O/B/1000/022 Page 5 of 7 3.9 Have the OSC Maintenance Manager coordinate delivery and set up of portable generators, lighting and ventilation. Refer to Enclosure 5.13, Appendix "R" Maintenance Support Equipment, for a list of available equipment.

It is assumed that lighting and power are lost at all in-plant work locations, and that ventilation equipment is necessary for motor replacement work in the HPI and LPI pump rooms. Actual conditions will be determined by RP and Safety surveys described in Step 3.5.

The OSC Maintenance Manager will need to notify NMS-South to setup and operate the generators. Refer to Enclosure 5.8, Maintenance Telephone List Of Appendix "R" Supervision.

Initial lighting and ventilation equipment is to be set up according to Enclosure 5.14, Deployment Of Lighting And Ventilation Equipment. Safety representatives and supervisors of work in affected locations are to assist the Maintenance Manager.

  • Other equipment needs are set up by location work crews as necessary.

3.10 When it is decided by the TSC to proceed with unit(s) shutdown to cold shutdown, the Supt. Of Operations will notify Operations to begin unit(s) cooldown utilizing OP/0/A/1 102/025, Cooldown Following A Fire and OP/1,2,3/A/1102/010, Controlling Procedure For Unit Shutdown.

3.11 When the EOF Director reduces the Emergency Classification such that the OSC is no longer required, control of fire damage repairs are turned over to the Work Control Organization.

4. Appendix R Abstract 10CFR50, Appendix "R" requires that nuclear stations maintain the ability to repair major fire damage such that the plant has 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to reach "cold shutdown". The Appendix "R" postulated fire scenarios for Oconee Nuclear Site assume for conservatism, that before any repair action is initiated, that 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> has elapsed from the initial indications of a fire. This would leave 64 hours7.407407e-4 days <br />0.0178 hours <br />1.058201e-4 weeks <br />2.4352e-5 months <br /> for repair and cooldown to cold shutdown on the affected unit(s). This implies that the fire brigade fights the fire for the initial 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and no other functions are carried out. This will most probably not be the case; therefore as soon as possible repairs shall be initiated. Refer to Enclosures 5.1 through 5.5 for detailed scenario descriptions.

Eight hours are allocated for preparation. During this time, an initial work force is called in by the OSC. Security is notified to allow workers into the plant. If a Site Area Emergency or General Emergency is declared, the TSC arranges for state and local agencies to allow workers through the traffic control points.

Since repair activities continue for an extended time, the OSC Manager assures timely call out of relief personnel for repair workers. The OSC Manager also directs arrangement of relief for the OSC members. OSC staffing may be altered as necessary.

RP/O/B/1000/022 Page 6 of 7 Repairs for the TB/AB Fire encompass those for the other scenarios. This fire is assumed to damage systems in the Turbine Building, electrical blockhouses (except CT-4 Transformer), and the Auxiliary Building (except the West Penetration Room). All AC power is lost. To bring all three units to cold shutdown, it may be necessary to:

"* replace motors on HPIP's 1A, 2A, and 3A

"* replace motors on LPIP's IC, 2C, and 3A

"* replace motors on LPSWP's IA and 3A

  • provide 4160V power to the replaced motors; power and cooling water to a CCWP motor

"* provide power and controls for each unit's PORV, Core Flood isolation valves CF-1&2, Decay Heat suction valves LP-1&2, RCS Post-Accident sampling valves, and Condenser outlet valves

"* install local instrumentation for HPI, LPI, and LPSW systems This procedure is intended for use after major fire damage as described in the enclosures.

However, if another plant evolution (i.e. natural disaster, etc.) creates the need of restoration of site equipment as described in any of the listed procedures, the methodology of workforce and equipment repair as addressed in this procedure can be used.

Within 3 1/2 hours of the loss of power to the CCWP's, a submersible pump is installed at the intake to provide water to the SSF. This is not considered an Appendix "R" fire damage repair, it is a separate SSF operability requirement.

Within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> of the loss of power to the SFP cooling system the Emergency Plan For Refilling Spent Fuel Pools, contained in AM/0/A/3009/012A, shall be implemented. This is not considered an Appendix "R" repair; it is a separate Spent Fuel requirement.

Enclosures 5.1 Turbine And Auxiliary Building Fire - Scenario Description 5.2 Turbine Building Fire - Scenario Description 5.3 Reactor Building Fire - Scenario Description 5.4 Fire In The West Penetration Room Or SSF Cable Trench - Scenario Description 5.5 Fire At CT-4 Transformer - Scenario Description 5.6 List Of Site Appendix "R" Fire Procedures 5.7 Site Specific Departmental Repair Responsibilities For TSC/OSC 5.8 Maintenance Telephone List Of Appendix "R" Supervision 5.9 Fire Damage Repair Work Locations 5.10 Repair Priorities And Descriptions 5.11 Repair Work Flow Diagram 5.12 Appendix "R" Material List (Designated Materials) 5.13 Appendix "R" Maintenance Support Equipment 5.14 Deployment Of Lighting And Ventilation Equipment

Enclosure 5.1 RP/O/B/1000/022 Turbine And Auxiliary Building Fire - Page 1 of 1 Scenario Description This fire starts in the Turbine or Auxiliary Building. It is bounded by the Reactor Buildings' walls, fire walls around the West Penetration Rooms, and the fire wall between CT-4 transformer and the Unit 1 & 2 Electrical Blockhouse. Unattached structures are not affected.

As in all the scenarios, off-site power is lost and not recovered. The fire causes immediate damage to systems in the fire area, including loss of the main feeder buses and 6900V RCP buses (station blackout). Equipment subject to fire damage is assumed to fail and/or actuate spuriously, whichever is worst-case.

The reactors are shut down. Hot shutdown conditions are maintained from the SSF until repairs are made to allow cooldown.

Repairs cannot begin for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. During this time the Emergency Plan is activated, the SSF dedicated submersible pump is installed, the fire is controlled, manpower and equipment are called to the site, and preparations for repairs are made.

Repair details are presented in Enclosure 5.10, Repair Priorities And Descriptions. *HPI is restored to provide RCS inventory control, and valves for RV head venting and pressure control made operable, prior to starting cooldown. Natural circulation cooldown is performed using SSF ASW and the MS atmospheric dump valves. CF-I & 2 are made operable and closed before RCS pressure is decreased below CFI' pressure (600 psig). *CCW, *LPSW, and *LPI are restored as prerequisites to establishing LPI cooling. LPI is then used to cool down from 250°F to cold shutdown. RCS sampling valves and CCW condenser outlet valves are also restored.

  • including power to pump motors, valve controls, and instrumentation; as necessary for each system

Enclosure 5.2 RP/O/B/1000/022 Turbine Building Fire Page 1 of 1 Scenario Description The fire is the same as the TB/AB Fire, except that it is bounded on the west by the Auxiliary Building wall. The open structure of the Turbine Building makes this a more likely event, however.

Plant control is the same as for the Turbine and Auxiliary Building Fire.

Repair scope is decreased, since HPIP and LPIP motor replacement is not necessary. Restoration of Auxiliary Building valve controls and instrumentation remains necessary due to loss of power.

Enclosure 5.3 RP/O/B/1000/022 Reactor Building Fire - Page 1 of 1 Scenario Description This scenario is presented for reference only. No repairs are necessary to achieve cold shutdown.

The fire is confined to a limited area within the Reactor Building. Shield walls and structural spacing prevent spread of the fire.

Main feeder bus and RCP power is automatically restored from Keowee via the overhead power path.

Various failures occur, depending upon the fire's location. All are mitigated by redundant systems (including SSF-operated equipment) or operator action. Reactor Building entry is necessary for manual valve operation if CF-i, CF-2, LP-1, or LP-2 power cables burn.

EFW is used for cooldown until LPI is established.

Enclosure 5.4 RP/O/B/1000/022 Fire In The West Penetration Room Or SSF Page 1 of 1 Cable Trench - Scenario Description This is actually a grouping of several scenarios with the same effect - a loss of off-site power (given),

coupled with loss of SSF-to-plant electrical ties.

The fire is confined within a West Penetration Room (where SSF cabling enters the plant), or within a SSF-to-plant cable trench. The fire affects a single unit, unless it is in the SSF-to-Unit 3 cable trench. In this case the fire also burns CCWP power cabling, which intersects the SSF-to-Unit 3 cable trench, so that a total loss of station CCW occurs.

Main feeder bus and RCP power is automatically restored from Keowee via the overhead power path.

A fire in a West Penetration Room (WPR), or in the Unit 1 or 2 cable trench, requires no repairs for cooldown. EFW is used until LPI cooling is established. If WPR cables are burned, Reactor Building entries are made to manually operate CF 1 & 2 and LP 1 & 2.

Fire in the Unit 3 cable trench causes loss of station CCW. Lack of CCW can bring about loss of LPSWP suction, in-plant ASWP suction, EFW inventory, and SSF water supply.

Repairs consist of restoring power to one CCWP - a power cable is pulled to the Unit 3 4160V switchgear. The SSF-dedicated submersible pump is also installed at the CCW intake. It provides:

"* suction for the jockey pump, which substitutes for LPSW cooling of the HPIP motors and the turbine driven EFWPs

"* suction for the in-plant ASWP and SSF

"* cooling/sealing water for the CCWP.

On all three units, cooldown is begun with EFW. If EFW inventory becomes depleted, ASW is used to continue cooldown to 250°F. LPI cooling is established for cooldown to cold shutdown.

Constraints are:

" The jockey pump must be started within 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> of loss of CCW flow, before the EWST is depleted. This time may be extended by isolating HPSW cooling/sealing water to CCWPs.

" If atmosphere dumps are used, EFW inventory will be depleted in a minimum of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> at HSD, or 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> during cooldown.

" Since control of Unit 3's SSF-ASW valves is not available, in-plant ASW would be used.

SSF-ASW could be used on Units 1 and 2.

"* If LPSWP suction has been lost, the CCWP must be started prior to establishing LPI cooling.

Enclosure 5.5 RP/0/IB/1000/022 Fire At CT-4 Transformer Page 1 of 1 Scenario Description No repairs are required for cooldown.

Fire is confined within the CT-4 room. CT-4 becomes inoperable.

Main feeder bus and RCP power is automatically restored from Keowee via the overhead power path.

EFW is used for cooldown until LPI cooling is established.

Enclosure 5.10 RP/O/B/1000/022 Repair Priorities And Descriptions Page 1 of 7 NOTE: 1. The equipment listed in this enclosure is in order of repair priority, with #1 being the most important.

2. Specific equipment restorations will depend on damage equipment assessments and particular fire, not necessarily on the pre-supposed scenario descriptions.
1. HPIP Motor Replacements HPIP motor replacements are the longest duration, most challenging repairs. In addition, use of the HPI system is necessary to begin cooldown.

Controlling Procedure: MPiOIAI3009I012, Emergency Plan For Replacement Of HPI, LPI, And LPSW Motors Following A Fire In Turbine Building Or Auxiliary Building.

HPIP IA, 2A, and 3A motors are replaced.

Oil is drained from the Unit 3 HPIP motor (only).* A forklift moves each motor through the BLDG. #8093 (WHSE #3) door to the Hy-Dynamic crane, which takes it into the Hot Shop. A forklift moves dollies from BLDG. #8093 (WHSE #3) to the Hot Shop, where they are lowered into the Hot Shop tunnel. Each motor is lowered onto its dolly, Unit 3's first, then manually towed to the appropriate HPI Hatch Area. The Unit 1 & 2 motors are both taken to the south side of the Unit 1 & 2 Hatch Area.

Availability of electric power affects these staging activities. Without power, rollup doors at the Hot Shop are opened manually. The Hy-Dynamic removes the Hot Shop tunnel hatch and lowers motors into the tunnel. With power, the Hot Shop crane handles loads in the Hot Shop.

Manual hoists are provided for handling hatches and motors in the HPI Hatch Areas, if the installed electric hoists are inoperable.

Parallel to initial staging activities, pathways are cleared from the Hot Shop to the BPI Hatch Areas. HPI hatches are removed. Electricians cut the old HPIP motor power cables, and pump crews begin removing the old motors.

When removed, the old motors are placed out of the way in the HPIP rooms or hatch areas. New motors are then installed and aligned according to MP/O/A/1300/020, Pump - Ingersoll-Rand High Pressure Injection - Removal And Replacement Of Pump And Motor.

The replacement motors are air-cooled, so that cooling water hookup is not required. Motor instrumentation is not reconnected. While careful motor-to-pump alignment is necessary, the usual QA documentation of HPIP work is not required. On Unit 3 only, oil must be replaced after the new motor is set.

Enclosure 5.10 RP/0/B/1000/022 Repair Priorities And Descriptions Page 2 of 7 Power to the motors is restored according to IP/O/A/0050/002, Site Damage Control Procedure, (see Restoration Of 4160V Power To Pump Motors). After new power cables are pulled, electricians connect them to the motors. The motors are "bumped" to check for correct rotation before running the pump.

"* Oil is drained because the Unit 3 motor is tipped on its side for handling. This is necessary due to low overhead clearance in the Auxiliary Building corridor.

"* The Unit 3 motor is handled first because of the longer distance it must be towed.

2. LPSWP Motor Replacement LPSW flow to LPI coolers is required at about 250 degrees F in the RCS, when LPI cooling is begun. Other LPSW cooling loads, though not essential for cooldown, make LPSWP motor replacements important.

Controlling Procedure: MP/O/A/3009/012, Emergency Plan For Replacement Of HPI, LPI, And LPSW Motors Following A Fire In Turbine Building Or Auxiliary Building.

LPSWP 1A and 3A motors are replaced.

After HPIP motors are moved, a forklift moves the two LPSWP motors and dollies to Bldg.

  1. 8093 (WHSE # 3) rollup door. These are loaded onto a crane truck, which is driven through the Turbine Building Heater Bay rollup door. The boom truck lowers the LPSWP motors and dollies to the basement through grating east of feedwater heater IC2. (If the heater bay crane is operable, it may be used to lower LPSWP motors through the normal access holes.)

Activities parallel to LPSWP motor staging are similar to those for HPIP motors. The LPSWP motor pathways in the TB basement are shown in MPIOIAI3009I012, Emergency Plan For Replacement Of HPI, LPI, And LPSW Motors Following A Fire In Turbine Building Or Auxiliary Building.

Procedures used to remove, replace, align, and test the motors are:

  • MPIOIAI3009I02OB, Motor - Electric - Removal, Replacement, And Post Maintenance Testing
  • MP/O/A/3009/017, Visual PM Inspection And Electrical Motor Tests
  • MPIOIAI13001040, Generic - Alignment Power is restored according to IP/0/A/0050/002, Site Damage Control Procedure.

Enclosure 5.10 RP/O/B/1000/022 Repair Priorities And Descriptions Page 3 of 7

3. LPIP Motor Replacements LPIP motor replacement is completed after LPSWP motor replacement, but only because LPSWP motors are given priority during staging. LPI is required for cooldown below about 250 0 F.

Controlling Procedure: MPIO/A/3009/O12, Emergency Plan For Replacement of HPI, LPI, And LPSW Motors Following A Fire In Turbine Building Or Auxiliary Building.

LPIP 1C, 2C, and 3A motors are replaced.

This job is essentially the same as HPIP motor replacements, with the following exceptions:

"* After LPSW motors are moved, a forklift moves the LPIP motors to the Hot Shop.

"* LPIP motors are all handled in their normal orientation; no oil draining is required.

"* Procedures used for pump motor removal, replacement, alignment and testing are:

  • MPIO/AI3009/O2OB, Motor - Electric - Removal, Replacement, And Post Maintenance Testing
  • MPIO/AI3009/017, Visual PM Inspection And Electrical Motor Tests
  • MP/O/A/1300/040, Generic - Alignment
4. Restoration Of 4160V Power To Pump Motors Power restoration has shorter duration than motor replacements. The CCWP is required to supply suction to LPSWP's.

Priorities between the pump motors are:

1) HPIP's
2) CCWP
3) LPSWP's
4) LPIP's Procedure: IPIOIA/00501002, Site Damage Control Procedure Power is restored to the eight replaced HPIP/LPIP/LPSW motors, and to a CCWP motor.

A special 4160V power control system has been designed for this purpose. It consists of 9 trailer-mounted 4160V breakers and a control panel (the emergency switchgear) powered from CT-4 transformer. DC control power for the breakers is supplied from the SSF. 4160V power cables are pulled from the emergency switchgear to the pump motors.

Enclosure 5.10 RP/O/B/1000/022 Repair Priorities And Descriptions Page 4 of 7 Several staging activities are conducted. A road tractor pulls the emergency switchgear trailer from Bldg. #8019 (WHSE # 2G) to its parking area just southeast of the Unit 1 & 2 electrical blockhouse*. A crane truck picks up 4160V cable reels from Bldg. #8019 (WHSE # 2G) and moves them to the blockhouse. Another crane truck picks up the DC-control cable reel (along with those for valve operators) and takes it to the SSF. Cable reel stands are moved with the cables. Pipes for cable reel handling are obtained from the pipe yard.

A Demag or Grove crane lifts two sections of cable trench cover - one on each side of the roadway between the SSF (north end) and the Hot Shop. This allows cable pulling for the DC control cable, as well as the valve operator cables. Care is taken to avoid interference with pump motor staging.

Scaffolding is erected for safe access to terminal points on top of CT-4. After the emergency switchgear is moved, cable trays (stored on the switchgear trailer) are erected over the breakers.

Cable is pulled manually, following pathways described in IPIO/A100501002, Site Damage Control Procedure. Cable for the eight HPIP/LPIP/LPSWP motors is stored on three reels, so that simultaneous cable pulling is not possible. Cable is first pulled to the three HPIP motors, followed by the LPSWP and LPIP motors. Cable for the CCWP is on a separate reel. A hole for CCWP cable pulling may be cut in the security fence near the Radwaste Interim Facility if the time duration to get the gate open is too long.

Transmissions Substations technicians connect cables at CT-4 and the emergency switchgear.

Electricians make connections at the motors and SSF (DC control cable). Power cables are connected at the motors first.

In a separate mechanical job, cooling water is restored to the CCWP motor according to AMO/0AI1300/059, Pump - Submersible - Emergency SSF Water Supply - Installation And Removal. A line from the SSF submersible pump is connected to the motor's HPSW cooling line.

  • The emergency switchgear can not be exposed to rain or fire-fighting water. If necessary, it is wrapped with Herculite, which is available at Bldg. #8093 (WHSE # 3).

Enclosure 5.10 RP/O/B/1000/022 Repair Priorities And Descriptions Page 5 of 7

5. Valve Operability Restoration Individual valve priorities depend upon plant conditions, as stated below:

(1) 1/2/3 RC-66 PORV IF both RCP's on the PZR loop are inoperable, AND PZR auxiliary spray cannot be aligned, this valve must be used for RCS pressure control during cooldown.

(2) 1/2/3 RC-159, 160 RV Head Vents IF no RCP's are operable, these valves are required for venting during natural circulation cooldown.

(3) 1/2/3 CF-I, 2 Core Flood Tank Isolation Valves These valves must be closed before the RCS is depressurized below 600 psig.

(4) Condenser Outlet Valves These valves are opened when the CCWP is started.

(5) 1/2/3 LP-1, 2 Decay Heat Drop Line Valves These valves must be opened to establish LPI cooling.

(6) 1/2/3 RC-162, 163, 179; 1/2 RC-164, 165 RCS Post Accident Sample Valves Sampling is required for RCS boron and fuel failure analysis. These valves may be given a higher priority if RCS conditions are in question.

Procedure: [PIO/A/00501002, Site Damage Control Procedure Electrically operated valves to be restored are:

  • 1/2/3 RC-66
  • 1/2/3 CF-1&2
  • 1/2/3 LP-1&2
  • 1/2/3 RC-159&160
  • 1/2/3 RC-162&163
  • 1/2 RC-164&165.

Pneumatic valves are 1/2/3 RC-179 and two condenser outlet valves.

A power/control system has been designed for the electrically operated valves. It consists of a valve control panel (VCP) for each unit, power cables from the SSF to the VCP's, and control cables from the VCP's to the valve operators or their RB electrical penetrations.

A forklift moves the VCP's, which are unit-specific, from Bldg. #8093 (WHSE # 3) to the West Penetration Rooms' outside doors. A crane truck brings valve control cable reels from the Bldg.

  1. 8019 (WHSE # 2G) to the VCP's (see Restoration Of 4160V Power To Pump Motors).

Enclosure 5.10 RP/0/B/1000/022 Repair Priorities And Descriptions Page 6 of 7 Cable is pulled from the VCP's to the SSF Electrical Equipment Room. Cables from the VCP's are pulled up the West Penetration Room stairways to the electrical penetrations in the East and West Penetration Rooms (on Unit 3, West only). Cables are also pulled to two valve operators in both the North and South Unit l&2 LPIP rooms.

Connections at the VCP's, penetrations, and valve operators are made by electricians.

The pneumatically operated valves are located in the respective units' A LPIP rooms, and in the Turbine Building basement. Operations determines which condenser outlet valves are to be restored. A nitrogen bottle (Bldg. #8093) (WHSE # 3) is taken to each valve. I&E technicians connect the nitrogen supply and a pressure regulator to each valve operator.

6. Installation Of Local Instrument This is the shortest duration repair activity.

Priorities between systems are:

1) HPI
2) BWST (if being used)
3) LPSW
4) LPI Procedure: IP/O/A/0050/002, Site Damage Control Procedure I&E technicians pick up replacement local instrumentation from Bldg. #8093 (WHSE # 3) and install it for the below-listed parameters. This work is done in the AB 1st floor corridor, the HPI pump rooms, the LPI pump rooms, and at the BWST.

HPI: RC makeup flow HPIP discharge pressure LPI: LPI flow LPIP discharge pressure LPI return temperature LPSW: LPSW flow to LPI cooler BWST: BWST level

7. Refilling The Spent Fuel Pools With Lake Water From Fire Trucks This activity should be completed and ready within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> of the loss of cooling to the spent fuel pool.

Procedure: AM/O/A/3009/012A, Emergency Plan For Refilling Spent Fuel Pools.

Fire trucks will be used to take suction from the lake either at the Intake or Boat Ramp Basin and discharge through a filter unit to each Spent Fuel Pool.

A minimum of 3100' of 2 1/2" fire hose (total hose supply to be used from the offsite agencies), 1 filtration unit (stored at the SSF) (spare filters are in Warehouse 3, Zone A -3AA040020001), 1 gated Wye valve will be needed.

If the lake is >793.5' suction can be taken for the fire truck at the Intake Structure.

If the lake is <793.5' suction can be taken for the fire truck at the Boat Ramp Basin.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 13 of 53 A. STARTING OR BUMPING A RCP FOLLOWING LOSS OF SCM 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Bumping or restarting a RCP may result in transferring unborated or underborated primary coolant to the core that may result in a critical condition.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS EOP guidance exists to bump/restart a RCP given the following plant conditions:

"* Evidence of a loss of coolant and/or SG tube leak.

"* Loss of heat transfer.

"* Loss of or degraded natural circulation cooling.

"* UPI cooling.

"* Following recovery of subcooled margin (SCM)

"* Evidence of hot leg voiding

"* Evidence of boiler-condenser mode (BCM) cooling

"* No RCPs on or large void in loop opposite with one RCP on The above conditions were considered in preparation of the following guidance.

3.0 Requested Action 3.1 Requested Action Summary Bump or restart a RCP in an idle loop.

The purpose of restarting or bumping a RCP in an idle loop is to promote primary-to-secondary heat transfer by either establishing forced circulation cooling or assisting natural circulation cooling.

3.2 Background Restarting or bumping a RCP following loss of SCM risks introducing excessive positive reactivity by pumping unborated or underborated coolant to the core. An RCP bump consists of a pump restart of sufficient duration to allow pump motor amps to stabilize (approximately 10 seconds) followed by an immediate trip of the pump.

For a range of SBLOCA break sizes that exceed the capacity of the BPI system, yet require steam generator heat transfer to cooldown and depressurize, the RCS may experience BCM cooling. With the RCS in a saturated condition, core decay heat causes boiling to occur and steam to be transferred to the hot legs. BCM mode develops when the steam void that initially forms in the top of the hot leg expands down into the steam generator tubes where it is condensed. The primary coolant is condensed by EFW or MFW delivered through the auxiliary header when the steam void expands below the elevation of the auxiliary header nozzles. This is referred to as EFW-BCM. When the steam void expands below the secondary pool level in the steam generator, primary coolant will condense due to pool-BCM. Both EFW-BCM and pool-BCM are effective forms of heat transfer, and are either cyclic or stable in nature.

However, both forms of BCM can cause underborated water to accumulate in the steam generator tubes, lower steam generator head and cold leg up to the RCP spill-over. This occurs because only a small percentage of the boron is transported with the steam that is condensed during BCM cooling. The volume VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 14 of 53 of this underborated RCS condensate would be swept into the core upon bumping a RCP. The consequences of a RCP restart could introduce greater than $5 of reactivity and be as severe as a rapid power excursion with the potential for significant fuel damage and RCS pressure boundary damage.

The most likely indication of boron maldistribution is inconsistent boron sample results. However, the capability to quantify the size of a region of unborated or underborated water is limited. If BCM has occurred the volume of condensed RCS coolant consisting of unborated or underborated water should be assumed large.

The potential for a rapid boron dilution event decreases as the RCS boron concentration decreases with cycle burnup. Towards the end-of-cycle when the boron concentration is lower, RCS conditions exist which permit safely bumping or restarting a RCP in a formerly idle loop assumed to have undergone some boiler condenser heat transfer.

If hot leg level remains above the elevation of the auxiliary header, it can be concluded BCM cooling has not occurred. In other words, primary coolant level greater than the auxiliary header elevation precludes significant accumulation of unborated or underborated primary coolant. Likewise, if no feedwater has been supplied to a steam generator it can be concluded that BCM has not occurred.

Insufficient boron mixing in the RCS can also exist for the following conditions. With a single RCP in operation and a large void indicated in the opposite loop, no mixing in the idle loop should be assumed.

The void may prevent reverse flow, and an underborated region may therefore exist in the idle loop. An RCP bump or restart must not be attempted in this plant configuration without careful consideration of the potential for a reactivity insertion event.

3.3 Implementation Three sets of guidance are provided. The first considers a loss of SCM and a void in the hot leg, but is subject to one of the following conditions: 1) the void is not large enough to result in unborated/underborated primary condensate or 2) the void extends into the tube region, but the SG has not been fed. The second set of guidance considers adequate mixing of the primary coolant during natural circulation to allow for a pump bump or restart. Lastly, guidance is provided for time in core life where boron concentration is less due to burnup. For certain conditions RCP restart can be performed since a significant boron dilution event cannot occur. A combination of RCP cold leg temperature or SG pressure, pre-accident boron concentration, and elapsed time are used to determine when bumping or restarting a RCP is recommended.

No Boiler Condenser Mode Confirmed A RCP may be bumped or restarted if one of the following is true:

a. Hot leg level remained> 389 inches (value includes allowances for instrument uncertainty)

The primary coolant level has remained at an elevation greater than the EFW upper header. This value reflects an elevation at the secondary face of the upper tube sheet.

It can be concluded that a significant volume of unborated/underborated condensate has not accumulated in the tubes if the hot leg void has not penetrated the SG tube region.

b. If during BPI forced cooling neither SG has been fed while the RCPs were off and adequate core exit subcooling has been restored, a RCP may be restarted. Without feedwater being delivered BCM cannot occur and there is no concern.

Adequate Natural Circulation Mixing Confirmed 0 A RCP may be restarted if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 15 of 53

1. Subcooled natural circulation has existed in both loops for > 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, and,
2. There is no indication of increasing reactivity during natural circulation on available nuclear instrumentation.

If the above conditions are satisfied adequate boron mixing in each loop exists and a region of unborated or underborated primary coolant does not exist.

Criteria for RCP Bump/Restart Due to Low Initial Boron Concentration One of two figures may be used to determine if bumping or restarting a RCP is advisable following BCM cooling. The first figure is a function of RCS cold leg temperature and elapsed time. The second figure is a function of SG pressure and elapsed time since reactor trip. If cold leg temperature indication is available in the loop with a pump to be bumped/restarted Figure 1 should be used. If cold leg temperature indication is unavailable, but SG pressure indication is available then Figure 2 should be used. The following criteria must be satisfied prior to using either Figure.

"* Verify all control rods are fully inserted

"* Verify reactor power was > 70% prior to reactor trip

"* Verify time since reactor trip is within analyzed limits (< 48 h)

Figure 1 uses RCS cold leg temperature as a function of elapsed time since reactor trip for various RCS boron concentration pre-conditions. Figure 2 uses SG pressure as a function of elapsed time since reactor trip for various RCS boron concentration pre-conditions. The figures are generated assuming the following:

"* All control rods are fully inserted

"* Assumes 70% full power equilibrium xenon.

"* Includes 50 ppmB concentration measurement uncertainty in initial RCS concentration (prior to accident)

"* In Figure 1, a 9 'F uncertainty allowance for RCS temperature indication. In Figure 2, a 110 psi uncertainty allowance for SG pressure indication.

To use either Figure 1 or Figure 2, determine:

1. For Figure 1 determine the lowest indicated cold leg temperature.

For Figure 2, determine the lowest indicated SG pressure during the accident.

2. The pre-accident RCS boron concentration, and
3. the elapsed time since reactor trip.
4. Given the above considerations, if the lowest indicated RCS cold leg temperature or SG pressure is greater than the line corresponding to the pre-accident RCS boron concentration, a RCP may be bumped or restarted per the EOP.

If any of the above conditions are not met, evaluation by site and G.O. nuclear engineering can be requested.

3.4 Expected Plant Response Plant response to bumping or restarting a RCP will depend upon the plant conditions prior to a bump/restart. When a RCP is bumped or restarted with a hot leg void, expect the void to collapse as it is quenched in the SG. If the RCP is bumped, RCS pressure will decrease rapidly as a result. One RCP at a VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 16 of 53 time should be bumped for a period of time sufficient to allow the pump motor amps to stabilize (approximately 10 seconds). If plant conditions do not indicate the presence of natural circulation cooling following the pump bump, the other RCPs may each be bumped one time. If bumping the RCPs does not start natural circulation cooling, then refer to: E. Natural Circulation Cooldown Considerations.

If the RCP is restarted, RCS pressure will decrease. A loss of SCM may occur with the initial decrease in system pressure and require the RCP to be tripped shortly after it is restarted. If adequate SCM remains, plant response should then be consistent with forced circulation cooling. However, if a large void exists in the loop opposite the operating RCP, forced circulation cooling may be prevented.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 19 of 53 B. STEAMING A STEAM GENERATOR WITH WATER IN THE STEAM LINE 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Potential loss of secondary pressure control due to waterhammer causing steam line rupture and/or loss of turbine-driven pump steam supply.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Evidence of a SG tube leak.

"* SG level of 96 %OR or greater.

"* Inadequate core cooling.

"* HPI cooling cooldown.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested action Summary

  • Steam a SG with indication of water in the steam line.

3.2 Background Opening a valve to reduce secondary pressure and cooldown the primary system with water in the steam line risks: 1) waterhammer, 2) losing steam supply to pump turbines, and/or 3) transferring water to pump turbines. A waterhammer event could ultimately result in loss of secondary pressure control due to pipe break or failure of a valve to reseat.

At SG levels of 96 %OR and greater it is possible that water has leaked-by the outlet annulus via a SG level instrument tap near the top of the baffle. The water will pool in the outlet annulus until it spills into the steam line. The steam line exits the steam generator horizontally for -10 feet before turning and increasing in elevation 10 feet or greater. The water level in this section of the pipe will be approximately the same as in the steam generator. When steam generator level drops below the upper tap location, water will begin to drain back into the steam generator. Consideration should be given to some water remaining in the steam line immediately exiting the SG despite a reduction in SG level.

Expect condensation to occur over the length of the steam lines under low flow or stagnant conditions.

The steam lines are horizontal or downward sloping the entire length of the run to the turbine after the initial rise in elevation at the steam generator exit. Therefore, the condensate will not accumulate in a "water catch" piping arrangement other than at the SG exit.

With water leaking by the instrument tap, the water will pool in the length of pipe exiting the SG. The level in this pipe will be approximately the same as the level indicated in the SG. With a level established in the pipe, high steam velocity is then necessary to form a plug of water. High steam velocity is also required to entrain liquid in a partially liquid filled pipe. A controlled cooldown using the ADVs or the Turbine Bypass System does not typically generate steam velocities large enough to entrain liquid or form a plug in a steam line with a residual level of water (in cases where indicated SG level has decreased below 96 %OR). The velocity necessary to do so depends upon the liquid level in the steam line as well, but once the line has been drained steaming the SG is allowable as very high steam velocities are required with lower levels.

If there is indication of SG levels approaching 120 inches above the instrument tap elevation, then water has spilled into the steam line above the exit. Full range indication is uncompensated and unreliable in VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 20 of 53 this condition of operation. However when full range SG level indicates an increasing trend in SG level, well above the instrument tap elevation (500 inches or greater), it can be assumed water has spilled into the length of pipe rising above the exit (approximately 10 feet). The SG should not be steamed at all in this instance, even if the OR level decreases below 96 %OR.

If neither steam line is available, HPI cooling should be used to cool down the unit.

3.3 Implementation If SG level is greater than 96% OR (or equivalent temperature compensated XSUR level) do not steam the SG.

If full range indication does not indicate SG levels continued to increase above the instrument tap level to a level greater than 450 inches (69 %FR), and SG level has reduced to a level less than 96 %OR, the SG may then be steamed.

Otherwise, HPI cooling should be used to cooldown the unit if water is suspected in both steam lines.

3.4 Expected Plant Response Secondary pressure control should not be lost if the guidance is followed during RCS cooldown.

Controlling to the prescribed cooldown rate precludes liquid entrainment and/or plug formation in the steam line piping exiting the SG.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 21 of 53 C. REFILL THE EWST 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Loss of HPSW resulting in loss of backup cooling water to HPI pump motor coolers, cooling water to the TDEFW pump, and/or loss of fire suppression capability.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of offsite power.

"* Station blackout.

"* Turbine Building flooding.

"* Loss of LPSW

"* EWST level low.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary

"* Provide power to a HPSW pump.

"* Refill EWST using offsite fire department engine.

"* Use Keowee Hydro Station portable backup jockey pump on the discharge structure.

3.2

Background:

The EWST provides the following functions:

"* The EWST is capable of delivering the demands of each fire suppression system individually. This constitutes a significant demand on the EWST, which cannot be sustained for very long.

"* During loss of all AC power (station blackout), HPSW could provide cooling water to the turbine driven EFW pump.

"* During loss of normal LPSW supply due to a Turbine Building flood: HPSW provide cooling water to the HPI pump motor coolers.

"* Upon CCW pump restart after loss of LPSW, HPSW is needed to supply water via SSW piping to the CCW pumps for bearing lubrication and motor cooling.

Replenishing the EWST is a risk-significant operation. Failure to replenish the EWST increases the core damage frequency by a factor of three. Approximately 9% of the total core damage frequency involve failure of this action.

3.3 Implementation Refill the EWST through a method delineated in:

AP/ /A/1700/0 10, Enclosure 6.1 Two methods are presented in the Enclosure. Options I and 2 will deliver a maximum flow of 1500 gpm.

Consider the following when choosing a method:

Option 1: Use offsite fire department engine on the intake structure.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 22 of 53

"* Location on the intake near 2C CCW pump available for fire department engine.

"* Fire department has length of hard pipe suction hose to reach 4 to 6 feet below water surface.

"* Fire hydrant HY-26 available. (OFD-124C-1.4)

Option 2: Use offsite fire department engine on the discharge structure.

"* Location on the CCW discharge available for fire department engine.

"* Fire department has length of hard pipe suction hose to reach 4 to 6 feet below water surface.

"* Fire hydrant HY-7 available. (OFD-124C-1.5) 3.4 Expected Plant Response Employing a method detailed in procedure AP/l/A1700/010 should result in maintaining or increasing EWST level.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 23 of 53 D. EVALUATE OUTSIDE AIR BOOSTER FAN OPERATION 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Control Room habitability.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* 1/2/3RIA-39 CNTRL RM Gas Alarm actuated

"* Outside air booster fans are operating 3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary

"* Terminate outside air booster fan operation

"* Continue outside air booster fan operation 3.2

Background:

The outside air booster fans are operated when a control room air handling unit return air radiation monitor (1/3RIA-39 (CNTL RM Gas)) alarms. The outside air booster fans provide filtered air to positively pressurize the control room.

The outside air booster fans should not be disabled prior to terminating the radiation release. The in-line filters should remain operable for greater than 20 days. Therefore if radiation protection or available radiation monitoring indicates the event has not been terminated it is prudent to maintain the outside air booster fans operable.

The location of the source term is important to the decision. If release is a result of component or penetration failure in the Auxiliary Building, continued operation of the outside are booster fans is prudent. Bypassing the Auxiliary Building via the emergency or equipment hatches could result in a release effecting the booster fan suction source. If RIA-39 counts do not stabilize or reduce with booster fan operation, consideration should be given to isolating the outside air booster fans.

In addition, chlorine release or smoke near the fan suction could prompt isolating the fans depending on the magnitude of the source term.

3.3 Implementation Determine location of source. If source is such that operation of the outside air booster fans result in continued and increasing 1/2/3RIA-39 CNTRL RM gas alarm counts, it may be prudent to terminate operation of the fans.

Consider extenuating circumstances which may effect Control Room habitability, such as fire or noxious gas, to evaluate continued operation of the outside air booster fans.

3.4 Expected Plant Response Operation of the control room air booster fans should result in reducing counts on or stopping the 1/2/3RIA-30 CNTRL RM gas alarm.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of CCW intake canal.

"* Fire.

"* Loss of any fire zone due to (10 CFR 50 Appendix R) fire.

"* Station blackout.

"* Loss of all equipment (except cabling) in non-vital areas due to sabotage.

"* Loss of equipment in the Turbine and Auxiliary Buildings due to a tornado missile event.

"* Indication of loose parts alarms or sustained large magnitude noise in the RCS.

"* Loss of subcooling margin.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary

  • Evaluate natural circulation cooldown conditions.

3.2

Background:

The following summarizes various natural circulation cooldown scenarios and provides plant conditions and expected response to operator intervention. The guidance considers thermally coupled primary and secondary systems as a function of RCS SCM, loop asymmetry during natural circulation, phenomena which will interrupt natural circulation, and what is necessary to enhance or restart natural circulation.

Primary/Secondary Coupled - RCS is Subcooled Subcooled natural circulation is indicated by:

1. Tcokt coupled to the saturation temperature at the SG pressure,
2. Incore T/C temperature indication should track Th.t within approximately 10 "F, and
3. Tw and ToId temperature difference should be between 30 to 50 'F.
4. SG level at 50 %OR, 240 in XSUR.

The AT between Tho and Tcoz is expected to be 50 'F or less. The magnitude of the flow rate will decrease as the AT decreases and as core decay heat decreases.

Primary/Secondary Coupled - RCS is Saturated Saturated natural circulation is indicated by:

1. T, coupled to the saturation temperature at the SG pressure.
2. Loss of SCM SG level VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 25 of 53 With the RCS saturated, incore T/C temperature will track Th whether natural circulation flow exists or not. The AT between Tl and TCOId will vary between 50 'F and 0 *F, depending upon how much of the core heat is transferred to the primary coolant as latent heat of vaporization. The magnitude of the flow rate will decrease as the AT decreases as core decay heat decreases.

Primary/Secondary Coupled - One SG Operable, Subcooled or Saturated If only one SG is operating during natural circulation only Tbo in the operating loop will indicate core outlet temperature. TCOld on the operating SG will be approximately equal to Tt in the operating SG.

Tco* in the isolated SG may not be equal to Tt in the isolated SG. It will probably be colder due to ambient losses and due to cooler injection water (seal injection, MU, HPI). AT on the operating SG may be 10 TF higher than the 50 'F expected with two operating SGs. The loop with the idle SG may prevent primary depressurization.

Interruption of Natural Circulation Natural circulation can be challenged and lost by three causes. Inadequate steam generator level and/or loss of steam generator steaming capability (including overfilling the SG) will result in degraded or loss of natural circulation. Hot leg voids collecting in the top of the hot leg will degrade or stop natural circulation. Generally, the benefits of maintaining or restoring primary-to-secondary heat transfer warrants operator action to do so.

Two sets of symptoms indicate whether natural circulation will be interrupted due to hot leg void formation. The first set are identified by a diagnosis of plant conditions that could result in void formation:

"* Loss of RCS inventory

"* Loss of subcooled margin that might result in water flashing to steam

"* Contraction of the RCS inventory due to an overcooling event

"* Cooldown and depressurization with an idle loop

"* An outsurge of hot water from the pressurizer

"* Accumulation of noncondensible gases following ICC or from any other source The second set of symptoms include indications that heat transfer has been interrupted:

"* Hot leg level < 537 inches (void large enough to interrupt natural circulation)

"* RCS temperatures increasing, with CETC temperature diverging from hot leg RTDs

"* Pressurizer level increasing due to void growth or thermal expansion (primarily if subcooled)

"* Steam generator pressure decreasing due to injection of feedwater

"* RCS temperature and pressure increasing along the saturation curve (if subcooling lost)

The first set of symptoms will likely lead to the second, with natural circulation being lost due to a hot leg void forming. As the void in the hot leg continues to expand into the steam generator tube region, boiler condenser mode heat transfer will occur. Natural circulation can be regained after it has been lost, and the cooldown could be expected to occur in a cyclic manner.

Enhancing/Stimulating Natural Circulation

  • Increase AT between primary and secondary
  • Open hot leg high point vents if a void is indicated VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 26 of 53 Bump or restart a RCP Increasing the temperature difference between the primary and secondary increases the density differences between the hot legs and the SGs. This is accomplished by raising SG levels and/or steaming the SGs.

The optimum cooldown method includes balanced steaming of both steam generators in order to maintain a symmetric coolant temperature distribution.

Natural circulation will become intermittent and then will be lost as a hot leg void increases. The void can be vented to mitigate the cause and duration of the loss of natural circulation. This is effective in scenarios where a primary system break cannot provide sufficient cooling. The operator is instructed to open a high point vent if subcooled margin is lost and RCS pressure is increasing due to RCS heatup. If RCS pressurization persists, the pressurizer PORV is also opened to assist in removing decay energy and increasing HIPI flow by decreasing RCS pressure.

If a hot leg void exists and SCM has not been lost, then once-through cooling is adequately removing decay heat and the primary may be thermally decoupled from the secondary. In this case, venting a hot leg void is not necessary. However, the void may be vented to restore natural circulation.

Bumping or restarting a RCP may also be utilized to mitigate voiding in the RCS. A RCP bump consists of a pump restart of sufficient duration to allow pump motor amps to stabilize (approximately 10 seconds) followed by an immediate trip of the pump. Bumping or restarting a RCP sweeps the void into the steam generator tubes where it condenses. RCS pressure decreases as the void is condensed and more of the RCS is exposed to the steam generator. Refer to TSCG Section A.

3.3 Implementation Enhancing Natural Circulation Evaluate the following actions that enhance natural circulation.

"* SG levels may be raised up to 96 %OR.

"* Steam SGs to increase AT between the primary and secondary.

"* Maintain makeup to the RCS for losses and shrink (preserve loop thermal communication).

Restarting Natural Circulation Evaluate the following actions, which may aid in restarting natural circulation:

"* Maintain makeup to the RCS for losses and shrink (preserve loop thermal communication by minimizing hot leg void growth). This is necessary to restart natural circulation if the plant is in intermittent natural circulation or BCM cooling.

"* Open hot leg high point vents to aid thermal connection between the hot legs and the steam generators if a hot leg void indicated.

"* Bump or restart a RCP (refer to TSCG Section A).

3.4 Expected Plant Response The plant will generally respond in a sluggish manner to operator intervention when in natural circulation cooling. However, if the plant is in BCM cooling, the plant can respond quickly to operator intervention.

When natural circulation exists, it can be enhanced by increasing the thermal center (raising SG level) or increasing AT between the primary and secondary (steaming the SG). Consideration should be given to raising SG levels above target setpoints but less than 96 %OR.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 27 of 53 When natural circulation is degraded or intermittent, verify SG level and ensure steaming capacity is available. Makeup should be increased to enhance thermal coupling between the primary and the secondary. Intermittent natural circulation may exist initially or may follow natural circulation. It precedes BCM cooling if makeup is insufficient to match system losses and shrink.

If natural circulation has ceased, verify adequate RCS makeup and try to vent the RCS hot leg void. The plant may be in BCM cooling if the SGs remain operable and the primary and secondary systems are coupled. BCM cooling is an excellent mode of heat transfer, however a large region of underborated/unborated primary fluid may accumulate. As makeup matches break flow and system shrink (or the hot leg void is vented) the system will transition back to natural circulation though intermittent natural circulation.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of spent fuel pool cooling.

"* Tornado accident.

"* SSF RC makeup required.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary Makeup and/or monitoring the spent fuel pools 3.2

Background:

Maintaining SFP level is important for radiological, fuel integrity, reactivity management, and accident mitigation reasons. The SFP is designed for boiling heat transfer, however makeup for boil-off needs to be assured for radiological and fuel integrity concerns. In addition, makeup to the SFP may be required to make up for SSF demands. Makeup may be from a borated or unborated/underborated source. This will affect reactivity management and accident mitigation when the SFP is used as a source for SSF demands.

Monitors IRIA-6 (Spent Fuel Pool) and IRIA-41 (Spent Fuel Pool Bldg Gas Mon) should be monitored for an increase in radiation level inside the Units I and 2 SFP area. Monitor 3RIA-6 (Spent Fuel Pool) and 3RIA-41 (Spent Fuel Bldg Gas Mon) for an increase in radiation level inside the Unit 3 SFP area.

SFP heat load and SSF demands determine the urgency of monitoring and necessity for makeup. For example, following an outage, and at an initial 150 'F, the spent fuel pool time to boil is approximately 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> after loss of SFP cooling.

  • Loss of LPSW and BWST inventory depletion.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Uncontrollable flooding of the Turbine Building.

"* Loss of primary to secondary heat transfer control from Unit Control Rooms and aux shutdown panels.

"* SSF ASW system and station ASW System unavailable.

"* Using forced HPI cooling.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTIONS 3.1 Requested Action Summary

  • Provide guidance to conserve BWST inventory to extend HPI cooling, considering the following potential actions:

- Throttle BPI flow to balance decay heat.

- Secure RBS system.

- Vent the RB.

3.2 Background BWST inventory constitutes the ultimate heat sink when primary-to-secondary heat transfer is lost and LPSW is unavailable. Forced HPI cooling is used to remove core decay heat when primary-to-secondary heat transfer is lost. Therefore, conserving BWST inventory by limiting what systems place demands on it extends the time available for forced BPI cooling. Aligning makeup to and replenishing the BWST inventory should be pursued while attempting to conserve the inventory.

HPI forced cooling is initiated by manually establishing HPI flow in the injection mode and latching open the PORV to create a relief flowpath. With subcooling margin all but one RCP is tripped to minimize the heat load on the system and maintain good circulation and mixing of injection flow.

HPI forced cooling results in energy relief to the RB. Without LPSW the RB structure and internal structures are the only heat sinks available to remove the energy from core decay heat, RCS metal, and secondary metal released by venting the RCS via the PORV. The controlled release of primary fluid to the building via the pressurizer PORV, safety valves or the hot leg high point vents via quench tank relief will result in increasing containment temperature and pressure. If there is no evidence of a high energy line break, and LPSW is unavailable, operation of the RBS system will only be marginally effective in removing energy from the atmosphere to containment structures. The RBS system should be isolated to minimize BWST drawdown rate.

Venting the RB removes energy primarily from the RB atmosphere. The RB purge system is not designed to operate under the differential pressure expected during BPI forced cooling. Venting would endanger the in-line filter package given environmental conditions present in the RB during BPI forced cooling. Likewise, venting RB may challenge the isolation valves ability to reseat. Lastly, removing air from the RB without replenishing it may complicate restarting RBS if required. If the air is removed and the atmosphere is predominantly saturated steam, spraying down containment could result in a differential VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 33 of 53 pressure greater than design. Given these concerns it is not recommended the RB be vented prior to establishing LPSW flow. If venting containment, purged air should be replenished with fresh air.

3.3 Implementation Minimize BWST Drawdown RBS should be isolated if there is no evidence of a HELB. Indication of a HELB would include: rapidly changing RB pressure and temperature, rapidly increasing RB sump level, and possibly increasing radiation levels in the building. If RB pressure remains less than 40 psig, RBS should remain isolated.

HPI cooling, without a large HELB, will only produce a gradual worsening of Reactor Building conditions.

Depending on the predicted time to recover LPSW or acquire a makeup source for the BWST, consideration should be given to minimizing HPI flow. This can be done by matching HPI forced cooling flow with the core decay heat demand. This will result in losing SCM, but would further extend the BWST inventory. Refer to EP/1,2,3/A/1800/001 Section 502.

Venting the Reactor Building Venting the RB risks subsequent loss of the ability to isolate, filter, and monitor any radiological release.

As Reactor Building ultimate design pressure is near 144 psig, venting the Reactor Building should not be considered unless failure is deemed imminent.

3.4 Expected Plant Response The energy storage and conduction capacity of the RB during HPI cooling is sufficient to preserve Reactor Building integrity. As such, neither RBS or venting the Reactor Building should be necessary.

Therefore, BWST inventory can be conserved by minimizing demand, or isolating RBS.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 34 of 53 I. CFT CORE COOLING FOLLOWING LOSS OF DECAY HEAT REMOVAL 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Use of CFTs to remove decay heat.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of decay heat removal.

"* BWST inventory approaching depletion.

"* BWST aligned for gravity flow to RCS.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTIONS:

3.1 Requested action Summary

  • Drain CFTs to RCS to remove decay heat/makeup for boil off (when the BWST is unavailable).

3.2 Background A CFT contains 1040 +/- 30 cu-ft of borated water. In a shutdown condition one or more CFTs may not be available. CFTs may be at Reactor Building atmospheric conditions or have a nitrogen overpressure of 50 psi or greater (OP/1 (2,3)/A/I 104/00 1, Core Flooding System).

The location of the RCS vent, the presence of steam generator nozzle dams, and RCS level should be considered when pressurizing and discharging the CFTs in a shutdown condition. If the RCS vent is in the upper SG, completely discharging a CFT with a pressurizer level of 360 inches could result in inventory loss out the vent. If SG nozzle dams are installed the CFrs must not be discharged.

The CFTs can be pressurized as necessary to discharge liquid volume for makeup. Each CFT should be discharged separately to maximize the liquid available to remove decay heat.

3.3 Implementation CFT Discharge for Decay Heat Removal:

Refer to OP/1(2,3)/A/l 104/001, Enclosure 4.14, for details regarding discharging the CFTs to the RCS.

Equipment required/considerations:

Inventory in the CFT.

Nitrogen high pressure header available.

Power supply to valves, l/2/3CF-l and/or 1/2/3CF-2.

The valves CF-1 and CF-2 can be operated locally. However, Reactor Building radiological and environmental conditions may preclude local operation.

The flow rate necessary to remove decay heat I day after shutdown from full power operation is 108 gpm and at 5 days the required flow rate is 62 gpm. Controlling CFT discharge to match decay heat will be difficult. CFT inventory should be discharged to preserve RCS level, but flow rates much greater than required to remove decay heat and maintain RCS level is likely. With the RV head removed, the difference in head generated by the initial CFT and RCS levels will produce CFT flows of several thousand GPM even if the CFT were vented to RB atmosphere.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 35 of 53 CFT nitrogen pressure should be reduced to minimize rate of discharge prior to opening the discharge valves. Consideration of the RCS vent location will affect how the CFTs are discharged as well. If the RV head is removed, inventory will spill from the RV given coarse flow control from the CFr. However, if the RCS vent is in the pressurizer or the upper SG head, CFT discharge should be controlled to a level several hundred inches below the vent location. The flow rate from a single CFT is sufficient to match decay heat at 1 day of shutdown, therefore the CFTs should be discharged one at a time.

A CFT must not be discharged if SG nozzle dams are installed.

3.4 Expected Plant Response CFG inventory can be used to makeup for boil-off following loss of DHR. Control of the injection rate will not be precise and a flow rate of less than 100 gpm is only required to makeup for decay heat. The CFTs should be discharged by pressurizing with nitrogen and pushing water through the injection lines as needed to maintain RCS level. The amount of fluid discharged will depend upon the location of the RCS vent. Do not attempt to discharge the CFTs if the nozzle dams are installed.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

Two LPI pumps in operation and BWST inventory decreasing, requiring LPI/HPI "piggyback" operation to provide HIPI suction from the RBES and restart of an LPI pump following deadhead operation SBLOCA HPI forced cooling B

  • SGTR 3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary Evaluate restarting an LPI pump following a low flow condition or continued operation of LPI pumps at low flow conditions.

EOP cautions the operator and informs station management if LPI pumps are operated below minimum flow values:

"* Any LPI pump operated at <100 gpm.

"* Two LPI pumps operating in piggyback with NO LPI header flow and total indicated HPI flow <500 gpm.

Turn off an LPI pump.

3.2

Background:

The manufacturer's recommended minimum flows: (recommended for accident condition only to minimize undue stresses)

"* LPI flow > 100 gpm (5 continuous days)

"* LPI flow > 200 gpm (one year continuous)

For some SBLOCAs, HPI cooling, or SGTR events, an interaction between the LPI pumps can occur during LPI/HPI-piggyback operation. In particular, under low flow conditions a weak-pump strong-pump interaction is established. The acceptability of the LPI/HPI piggyback alignment with two trains of LPI supplying suction to two HPI pumps through both LP-15 and LP-16 is a function of total HPI injection flow assuming no LPI flow injecting into the RCS. Analysis has been performed modeling the weak pump/strong pump interaction with both trains at a combined flowrate of 500 gpm. The analysis shows if pumps differ by as much as 7% in developed head that flow from the weaker pump will be limited.

Periodic testing verifies that the "A" & "B" LPI pumps are within this 7% assumption. If two LPI pumps are operating in piggyback with no LPI header flow and total indicated HPI flow < 500 gpm, it is recommended that one LPI pump be secured. A single LPI pump can provide sufficient flow for 2 HPI pumps.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 37 of 53 Operating the LPI pumps below minimum flow will cause hydraulic instabilities. Operating the LPI pump for an extended period (@ <100 gpm) can lead to fluid flashing in the casing that can lead to cavitation and seal failure. This can be catastrophic.

Vendor recommendation is based on a similar pump that was operated at approximately 100 gpm for one month. This test showed no degradation in pump performance or component damage. To minimize undue pump stress, this manufacturer's recommendation must be adhered to.

3.3 Implementation Re-energizing an LPI pump after it has been secured because it was deadheaded or if two LPI pumps operating in piggyback with no LPI header flow and total indicated HPI flow <500 gpm requires an evaluation.

" Depending on RCS conditions, specifically RCS pressure and the rate it is decreasing, it may be advisable to secure an LPI pump in support of piggyback. A single LPI pump can provide sufficient flow for 2 HPI pumps. If acceptable increase total indicated HPI flow to >500 gpm to maintain two LPI pumps in operation.

" The temperature of the fluid in the LPI pump is a function of the length of time the LPI pump has been operating at deadhead condition. It is advisable to restart the LPI pump when it can be assured that RCS pressure has decreased that will allow LPI injection. An LPI pump can develop approximately 180 psi of developed head.

" When restarting an LPI pump for piggyback operation after it has been secured due to deadhead operation, consideration must be given to the fact that the LPI pump may only have minimum recirc flow until LP-15 & 16 are opened. Minimize the time between pump restart and opening LP-15 or LP-16.

Approximate LPI Flow Rate Calculation The indicated LPI flow is inaccurate at low flowrates. For example the indicated flow can vary between 0.0 gpm to 1200 gpm if actual flow is <750 gpm. Based on LPI performance, it is expected that LPI flow should rapidly increase to >1000 gpm as RCS pressure decreases below shut off head (approximately 180 psig). LPI flow can be estimated based on the BWST draindown rate as follows (assuming a relatively constant rate of BWST level decrease):

- The volume of the BWST is

  • 7613 gals/ft.

- LPI flow = {(initial level - current level)/time) (7613) = sum of HPI and RBS flow

- The instrument uncertainty analysis (worst case) are:

If RBS is operating, the flowrate should be throttled to < 1500 gpm (when taking suction from BWST). The flow rate uncertainty is approximately 143 gpm.

BPI flow uncertainty is approximately 25 gpm if flow >500 gpm. For indicated HPI flow below 125 gpm, actual flow can be 0.0 gpm or > 189 gpm

- Comparison of header flows allows one to diagnose the validity of the indicated flow.

- Analysis shows that two UPI pumps can deliver approximately 550 gpm & 650 gpm @ RCS pressures of 1500 psig and 1200 psig respectively. This is assuming the BPI pumps developed head have degraded 10%.

- RB pressure can influence LPI total developed head when aligned to the BWST.

- RCS pressure must be considered in the evaluation.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS Evaluate continued operation of LPI pumps at low flow conditions.

"* An Oconee unit has tripped and is experiencing a station blackout (SBO)

"* The main feeder bus cannot be energized through the startup transformer and the standby bus cannot be energized from either Keowee or CT-5

"* Another Oconee Unit is generating and is energizing both its MFBs.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested action Summary:

"* Close the operating Oconee unit's standby breaker I (SI) to energize standby bus I (SB I) and power the auxiliary service water switchgear (ASWS) from the operating Oconee generator.

"* Connect a BPI pump (HPIP), from the Oconee unit experiencing the SBO, to the ASWS.

"* This would allow HPI forced cooling of the core, while power is being restored. Also the auxiliary service water pump (ASWP) would be available to provide inventory to the steam generators if needed for cooling.

3.2

Background:

During a loss of switchgear event, the underground emergency power path or a Lee combustion turbine can supply one HPIP and the ASWP through SB1 and the ASWS. The HPIP can maintain water on the core and the ASWP can supply water to the steam generators providing a heat sink for the reactor coolant system. If the underground emergency power path or a Lee combustion turbine can not energize the standby bus, the HPIP and the ASWP would not be available. If another Oconee unit were generating, that unit could energize SB I by closing its SI breaker. The SI breaker close logic will allow the breaker to close as long as the standby bus is not energized. The ASWS could then be energized to provide power to a HPIP and the ASWP.

The typical load for a running Oconee Unit is 12-15MW. The auxiliary and startup transformers are rated at 33.6MVA. The addition load of one HPIP and an ASWP is < IMVA or 137 amps. With both main feeder buses in service, the load on main feeder bus 1 would be within its limits. UFSAR 8.2.1 3 states that each unit's auxiliary startup transformer is sized to carry full load auxiliaries for one nuclear generating unit plus the engineered safeguards equipment of another unit. The operating load of a HPIP and an ASWP is considerably less than a unit's engineered safeguards load, thus there would be sufficient power available should the operating unit trip.

3.3 Implementation

1. Verify SBl is not energized.
2. Ensure all breakers for SB I are open.
3. Place CT4 BUS 1 "AUTO/MAN" transfer switch in "MANUAL".

Conditions in the SFP need to be monitored to ensure suction to the IHPI pumps is not interrupted. Design calculations demonstrate that an HPI pump will have adequate NPSH when aligned to the SFP. However, suction could be interrupted based on the following two concerns:

  • Siphon break at elevation 822 feet in the SFP:

The suction line as a siphon break at 822 feet. This consists of two 1/2 inch holes. If the SFP level decreases to 822 feet, suction to the IBPI pumps will be interrupted. Thus, this is one limit that the TSC must consider.

0 Flashing in the high point of the SFP suction line:

HPI flow can be interrupted if the pressure in the high point of the suction line from the SFP equals the vapor pressure based on SFP temperature. This is the primary concern when aligning HPI to the SFP.

The factors that influence flashing are:

SFP temperature - If SFP cooling is lost, SFP temperature will increase. The higher the temperature, the less margin to flashing in the high point. The factor that influences SFP temperature is the decay heat load in the SFP.

SFP level - SFP level impacts flashing in that a lower SFP level results in lower elevation head and a lower pressure in the high point of the suction line. SFP level will decrease based on the HPI flow rate.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 42 of 53 HPI flow rate - HPI flow rate impacts margin to flashing by its effect on the pressure in the high point of the SFP suction line. As HPI flow rate increases, the frictional losses in the suction pipe increase.

Increased frictional losses decrease the pressure in the high point of the line, thus reducing the margin to the vapor pressure. The frictional losses due to the flow rate are a second order effect when compared to SFP level and temperature. Thus, the primary issue with SFP flow rate is its impact on SFP level.

3.3 Implementation Siphon Break If an HPI pump is aligned to the SFP, the pump should be secured prior to SFP level decreasing below 824 feet. The 824 feet criterion is selected to provide margin to the elevation of the siphon break (siphon break is at a SFP level of 822 feet).

Flashing at SFP Suction High Point Flashing in the high point of the SFP suction line depends on SFP temperature, SFP level, and the BPI flow rate. Calculation OSC-3873, Rev. 4, provides data on the SFP as a suction source for the BPI pumps. The analyses in this calculation demonstrate that the frictional losses associated with the HPI flow rate are small. Thus, the conditions at which flashing occurs can be directly determined based on only SFP level and temperature. Also, for a given SFP level and temperature, the differences between the Units 1 and 2 SFP and the Unit 3 SFP are negligible. Thus, the same data to determine the flashing point can be used for both SFPs.

Flow to various LPSW loads may require throttling to achieve desired flow rate.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS This guidance is used during Case B of AP/1/A/1700/013 (Dam Failure Without Loss of CCW Intake Canal). The Symptoms for entering AP/I/A/1700/013 are:

"* Visual observation of decreasing lake level or dam failure

"* Telephone communication of a Keowee or Little River dam failure

"* "CCW LAKE LEVEL LOW" statalarm (1SA-09/B-10)

"* "FOREBAY ELEV" decreasing toward 70 feet 3.0 REQUESTED ACTION Determine which LPSW loads should be throttled to ensure total LPSW recirculation flow is

  • __9000 gpm.

3.1

Background:

In the event of a Loss of Lake Keowee, the preferred method of decay heat removal is via the CCW System recirculation mode. In this alignment, the Unit l&2 and Unit 3 LPSW systems are cross-connected and one LPSW pump operated to supply the required loads for all three units.

The LPSW System is aligned so that the normal discharge paths are isolated such that flow is forced in the reverse direction through the Unit 1 RCW coolers and back to the CCW crossover.

Per OSC-5739, total LPSW flow is limited to 9000 gpm to ensure excessive velocities are not generated in the tubes of the RCW Coolers and to reduce the likelihood of undesirable internal LPSW recirculation in certain system configurations.

3.2 Implementation

Since total LPSW flow is limited to 9000 gpm and only one LPSW pump is operating, each unit is allowed 3000 gpm of LPSW flow. The only available LPSW loads on each unit are listed below as well as the LPSW throttle valve associated with each load.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 46 of 53 N. N. MANAGE KEOWEE LAKE LEVEL DURING A LOOP 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN During any event involving a loss of off-site power (LOOP) and operation of Keowee Hydro Station, the lake level will decrease significantly. Decreasing lake level can adversely affect the operability of several plant systems and equipment.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of off-site power.

"* Keowee Hydro Station in operation.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary

"* Minimize usage of Lake Keowee inventory.

"* Supplement Lake Keowee inventory from Lake Jocassee.

"* Take actions to mitigate effects of decreasing lake level on Oconee systems/equipment as follows:

1. Minimize LPSW System demand to reduce NPSH required.
2. Align LPSW supply to Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump suction to increase NPSH available.
3. Place HPSW pumps in OFF position to increase NPSH available for LPSW pumps.
4. Isolate RWF Equipment Cooling supply and return lines from ECCW siphon headers to maintain operability of ECCW first siphon.
5. Restart two CCW pumps (one each on two separate Oconee units) to eliminate reliance on ECCW first siphon.

3.2

Background:

SLC 16.9.7 provides operability requirements for Oconee systems and equipment based on Keowee lake level. As an event progresses and lake level decreases, various actions are necessary to ensure systems and equipment remain capable of performing their functions.

The Oconee licensing basis does not provide a duration for a LOOP, but a reasonable duration for Keowee operation is 7 days (ref. PIP 0-02-136). Assuming an event begins with the lake level at 791 feet and both Keowee units are operating, the lake level would be 783.6 feet after 7 days (ref. OSC-3528).

This assumes no water transferred to Lake Keowee from Lake Jocassee.

If an Section 3.3 contains several estimates of the time available based on an initial lake level of 791 feet.

event begins at some lake level above 791 feet, add about I day for each foot above 791 feet. For example, if an event begins at 794 feet, add three days.

3.3 Implementation 3.3.1 Minimize usage of Lake Keowee inventory at If all plant loads are being supplied by one unit at Keowee Hydro and the other Keowee unit is running speed no-load, consider stopping the unloaded unit to conserve inventory. Operation of a Keowee unit VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 47 of 53 with no load uses almost as much water as operation fully loaded to the maximum emergency loads.

Therefore, stopping one Keowee unit would reduce water usage by more than 40% (ref. OSC-3528).

If both Keowee units are carrying some load, procedures do not exist to manually transfer plant loads from one Keowee unit to another in order to stop one Keowee unit. However, this action should be considered by the TSC if the event is expected to last significantly beyond 7 days. Differences in reliability and the potential for inducing an undesirable transient (i.e., loss of all AC power) should be considered before taking this action.

Operation and loading of combustion turbines at Lee Steam Station may allow stopping both Keowee units, thus conserving water in Lake Keowee. However, differences in reliability and the potential for inducing an undesirable transient (i.e., loss of all AC power) should be considered before taking this action.

If Jocassee Hydro is capable of starting and generating to the grid, evaluate the possibility of energizing the Oconee switchyard from Jocassee and providing power to the LOOP units from the switchyard. This would allow both Keowee units to be shutdown for some period of time to conserve water. However, differences in reliability and the potential for inducing an undesirable transient (i.e., loss of all AC power) should be considered before taking this action.

The ECCW second siphon discharge at CCW-8 transfers a small amount of flow (-30,000 gpm) from Lake Keowee to Lake Hartwell. If the second siphon is not needed, this discharge can be eliminated by closing CCW-8 per OP/1,2,3/A/1 104/012 (CCW System).

3.3.2 Transfer water from Lake Jocassee to Lake Keowee The System Operating Center (SOC) should be contacted to request transfer of water from Lake Jocassee to Lake Keowee. In order to transfer water from Lake Jocassee at the same rate that two Keowee units would use, at least one unit at Jocassee Hydro Station would have to be generating to the grid. However, water can be transferred at a slower rate by operating Jocassee units at speed no-load or by opening the spillway gates. This would at least reduce the rate of decrease of the Keowee lake level. Depending upon the Jocassee lake level, operation at speed no-load plus opening the spillway gates may supply adequate flow rate to match two units at Keowee Hydro.

3.3.3 Minimize LPSW System Demand If a loss of Instrument Air (IA) has occurred, maximum LPSW flow will be supplied to each LPI cooler.

LPSW flow to LPI coolers must be throttled on any non-ES unit to <6000 gpm (total flow for both coolers). There would be >9 hours before LPSW flow to LPI coolers must be throttled to maintain adequate NPSH for LPSW pumps (based on 790.6 feet actual limit per calculation). Operations estimated that this action would be completed within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> using existing procedures. After throttling, the LPSW NPSH limit would become 781.6 feet (ref. OSC-2280).

The LPSW pump NPSH limits discussed above assume administrative controls are in place to ensure the A HPSW pump is not operating. This means that the A HPSW pump should be in "standby" with the B IPSW pump in "base" (i.e., the normal alignment) or place the A HPSW pump in "off' to prevent it from operating.

3.3.4 Align LPSW Supply to Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump Suction There would be >23 hours before we would reach the 790 ft. limit for the Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump. A procedure exists to vent air from the Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump suction piping. This procedure temporarily aligns the LPSW supply, but the procedure restores the CCW supply after venting. As lake level decreases, this would lead to further air binding problems. Procedure changes are pending (ref. PIP 0-02-136) that would allow the LPSW supply to remain aligned to the Chiller VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 48 of 53 Condenser Service Water Pump during the remainder of the event. Until those procedures are revised, the TSC should consider aligning the LPSW supply and leaving it aligned to prevent the need for repetitive venting.

3.3.5 Place IIPSW Pumps in OFF Position The A HPSW pump may have inadequate NPSH below 791 feet. The B HPSW pump may have inadequate NPSH below 789 feet. To ensure protection of the pumps, consider placing the pumps in the OFF position to prevent automatic start. If available, use the Jockey pump to maintain EWST level instead of the A or B HPSW pumps. Also, consider temporary charging of the I-PSW system using the off-site fire department per the emergency operating procedure. If short-term operation of the A or B HPSW pump is required to maintain EWST level, this should be performed manually and the duration should be minimized to avoid pump damage due to inadequate NPSH.

3.3.6 Isolate RWF Equipment Cooling Supply and Return Lines from ECCW Siphon Headers Lake level must be above 787 feet to prevent a postulated pipe break at normally open seismic boundary valves 1,2,3CCW-319 and 1,2,3CCW-320 from potentially affecting the ECCW first siphon via air in leakage. If lake level approaches 787 feet, these valves should be closed. There would be >3.9 days before the lake level would reach 787 feet.

If enough ECCW siphon headers are operable, it may be desirable to leave the valves open on one Oconee unit to continue supplying the RWF. However, this would make the ECCW siphon headers inoperable on that unit.

As an alternative, restart of CCW pumps may be performed as discussed below instead of closing the valves.

3.3.7 Restart Two CCW Pumps Lake level must be above 786 feet to meet operability requirements for the ECCW first siphon, since the ECCW test acceptance criteria assumes a minimum lake level of 786 feet. There would be >4.8 days before the lake level would decrease to 786 feet. This is enough time for operators to restart two CCW pumps, one each on two separate Oconee units, using existing procedures (AP/1,2,3/A/1700/011). The CCW pumps would be able to supply suction to LPSW pumps without relying on the first siphon.

If necessary, the ECCW first siphon would continue to supply adequate suction to LPSW pumps down to 782 feet or lower. The 786 feet requirement is conservatively based on maintaining the ECCW header full. Engineering calculations have determined that adequate flow can be supplied to LPSW pumps with the water level inside the pipe about 4 feet (or less) below the top of the pipe, depending upon the number of open CCW pump discharge valves (ref. OSC-5349). Also, the actual ECCW test results may be better than the minimum acceptable results, thus providing additional margin.

If lake level is less than 786 feet and CCW pumps are not running, periodically monitor the following pumps that take suction from the CCW crossover for evidence of inadequate suction (i.e., amps fluctuating, cavitation noise at pumps):

  • Chiller Condenser Service Water pumps for A, B, C, and D chillers
  • CCW Booster pump VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

0. OPENING THE ALTERNATE POST-LOCA BORON DILUTION FLOWPATH I Safety Concern Opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath at elevated RCS pressure may damage the RB sump screen or supply two-phase water to the suction of the LPI pumps.

2 Procedure Entry Conditions.

EOP Section LOCA Cooldown, Response Not Obtained

  • An Oconee unit is experiencing a LOCA.
  • The primary boron dilution flowpath cannot be opened.
  • The alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is to be opened.

3 Requested Action 3.1 Requested Action Summary:

Open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath.

3.2

Background:

An LPI boron dilution flowpath is opened to prevent excessive boron concentrations in the reactor vessel due to extended operation in the "boiling pot mode" following LOCAs. In the boiling pot mode the reactor vessel functions as an evaporator and concentrates the boric acid. This guidance is in EOP Section LOCA Cooldown. Excessive boron concentrations can result in precipitation of boric acid crystals that can lead to obstructing long-term cooling of the core. Calculations have shown that opening an LPI boron dilution flowpath is required no earlier than 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> following a large cold leg break LOCA, which is the limiting break size and location for this issue. The EOP does not include the 9 hour1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> requirement, with the expectation that this action will occur prior to 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />. The EOP does not require this action unless the core exit thermocouple temperatures are less than 400TF, and the subcooled margin does not exist. Also, RCS pressure must be less than 320 psig, to support operation of valves LP-103 and LP-104. These criteria are based on the higher solubility of the boric acid at temperatures of 400TF and higher, and that the boiling pot mode does not exist if the core exit thermocouple temperatures indicate subcooled conditions.

There is a good likelihood that gaps in the reactor vessel internals where the hot legs nozzles match up with the upper internals will provide a leakage path that will serve to prevent the concentration of boric acid in the core region. The B&WOG has analyzed these gaps and have concluded that they will function to prevent excessive boric acid concentration buildup. One drawback to crediting these gaps exists, and VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 51 of 53 that is the possibility that the gaps will be plugged by debris circulated by the LPI System while drawing water from the RB sump. This possibility has been recognized by the industry and by the NRC, and so reliance on the gaps, while likely, should not be the sole method of preventing post-LOCA boric acid precipitation.

Opening the primary boron dilution flowpath through LP-103 and LP-104 does not involve any additional considerations, and is not the subject of this TSC Guideline.

Opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath through LP-1, LP-2, and LP-105 (Unit 1), and through LP-1, LP-2, and LP-3 (Units 2 and 3), does involve additional considerations, and that is the subject of this TSC Guideline.

The first consideration is that opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath can result in a high velocity discharge that can impinge on the emergency sump screen. This high velocity can result from the RCS being at a higher pressure than the emergency sump, and opening the alternate flowpath will then accelerate water through the pipe and towards the sump and sump screen. Calculations are in progress to determine if the impingement loads on the sump screen are excessive. Until these calculations have been completed, opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath when the RCS pressure significantly exceeds the Reactor Building pressure must not be performed.

The second consideration is that opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath can result in two-phase conditions at the suction of the A LPI pump (and possibly the B or C LPI pumps for some alternate LPI alignments). This is possible due to the depressurization of the RCS (if the RCS pressure is higher than the RB pressure) and the possibility that water flowing through the LPI piping will flash.

This situation must not be allowed since continued stable operation of the LPI pumps must be maintained.

For large break LOCAs the RCS and the RB will have equalized in pressure, and there is no adverse consequence of opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath. The objectives of this TSC guidance is therefore Zo ensure 1) that opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is necessary, 2) that for SBLOCAs that the RCS and RB pressures have equalized prior to opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath, and 3) if pressure equalization cannot be confirmed, then the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath must not be opened.

3.3 Implementation Step 1: Determine if the boiling pot mode exists: If the core exit thermocouple temperature indicates that the water exiting the core is subcooled, then the boiling pot mode cannot exist, and there is no requirement for opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath. The actual core exit thermocouple temperatures should be considered in this determination, rather than relying on the ICCM subcooled margin, since the worst-case instrument uncertainty is included in the ICCM software.

Similarly, the available RCS and RB pressure instrumentation should be used rather than just relying on the ICCM subcooled margin. LPI System flow can also be used to confirm the RCS pressure. Trends of these temperature and pressure indications should be considered since for all LOCAs the pressures and temperatures will steadily decrease in the long-term as decay heat decreases.

Step 2: Determine if the RCS level is high enough to spill borated water out the break: The reactor vessel and hot leg level indications can be used to determine if the water level is high enough in the reactor vessel to provide flow from the core outlet, through the reactor vessel internal vent valves, into the vessel upper downcomer, and then towards the cold leg break location. If this flowpath exists, then the core boron concentration cannot increase to an unacceptable value. A vessel level of 120 inches, and a VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 52 of 53 hot leg level of 120 inches is sufficient for confirming that this flowpath exists, and that the alternate post LOCA boron dilution line does not need to be opened.

Step 3: Determine if the RCS boron concentration is increasing by sampling the RB sump boron concentration: Concentration of boric acid in the reactor vessel can be evaluated by periodic sampling of the boron concentration in the RB sump. If the RB sump boron concentration is not decreasing, then the reactor vessel boron concentration cannot be increasing. An absence of a decreasing trend in the RB boron sump concentration precludes the need to open the boron dilution flowpath.

Step 4: Determine how much time is available to make this decision: A conservative earliest time requirement for opening a boron dilution flowpath is 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />. This value is the result of a conservative calculation and includes many worst-case assumptions, including a large cold leg break LOCA. For SBLOCAs a significantly longer period of time is available, since the boiling pot mode starts later, there may be a period of natural circulation, etc. However, boron concentration calculations do not exist for SBLOCAs. This determination can be made on an event-specific basis by the G. 0. Safety Analysis Section. Since the G. 0. Safety Analysis Section will be available to support Oconee Engineering and Operations following any station event, this determination will be their responsibility. The associated calculations can be performed in a short period of time and within the time available. The purpose of extending the time for making the decision to open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is to allow the RCS and RB pressures more time to equalize, or to allow the boiling pot mode to cease. Both of these situations are more likely as decay heat diminishes over time.

Step 5: Continue efforts to recover the primary boron dilution flowpath: Since there are no adverse consequences associated with the primary boron dilution flowpath, it is the preferred mitigation method.

Recovery of the use of the primary boron dilution flowpath should be a priority.

Step 6: Confirm equalization of RCS and RB pressures: During the time period available (9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> plus the additional hours resulting from the Step 4 analysis), evaluate the available data to determine if RCS and RB pressures have equalized. Engineering should be consulted to obtain information on the uncertainty in the process data, so that the possible adverse effect of instrument uncertainty is considered.

Since some uncertainty in the process data will exist, confirming that RCS and RB pressure have equalized will involve some degree of judgment. Management concurrence with a decision to open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is required.

Step 7: Open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath and monitor the LPI pumps: If Steps 1-6 have been performed and opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is still necessary, and the allowable time determined in Step 4 has expired, and management concurs, then the alternate post LOCA boron dilution flowpath is opened. For Units 2 and 3, consideration should be given to the system alignment and available operating LPI pumps. If both the "A" and "B" LPI pumps are operating, consider verifying 2,3LP-6 is closed, closing 2,3LP-19 and securing the "A" LPI pump prior to aligning the alternate boron dilution path. This will ensure core cooling will not be interrupted. The boron dilution tie in for Unit-I is slightly different from Units-2&3. The discharge of valve lLP-105 is tied directly to the emergency sump suction flange. Operators must monitor the LPI pumps for any adverse response to opening the valves. Note "C" LPI should be available if needed by opening LP-7 and LP-10. If the LPI pumps are observed to respond in an unacceptable manner, then secure all but one LPI pump.

Step 8: Report to management on the plant response to opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 13 of 52 A. STARTING OR BUMPING A RCP FOLLOWING LOSS OF SCM 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Bumping or restarting a RCP may result in transferring unborated or underborated primary coolant to the core that may result in a critical condition.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS EOP guidance exists to bump/restart a RCP given the following plant conditions:

"* Evidence of a loss of coolant and/or SG tube leak.

"* Loss of heat transfer.

"* Loss of or degraded natural circulation cooling.

"* HPI cooling.

"* Following recovery of subcooled margin (SCM)

"* Evidence of hot leg voiding

"* Evidence of boiler-condenser mode (BCM) cooling

"* No RCPs on or large void in loop opposite with one RCP on The above conditions were considered in preparation of the following guidance.

3.0 Requested Action 3.1 Requested Action Summary Bump or restart a RCP in an idle loop.

The purpose of restarting or bumping a RCP in an idle loop is to promote primary-to-secondary heat transfer by either establishing forced circulation cooling or assisting natural circulation cooling.

3.2 Background Restarting or bumping a RCP following loss of SCM risks introducing excessive positive reactivity by pumping unborated or underborated coolant to the core. An RCP bump consists of a pump restart of sufficient duration to allow pump motor amps to stabilize (approximately 10 seconds) followed by an immediate trip of the pump.

For a range of SBLOCA break sizes that exceed the capacity of the HPI system, yet require steam generator heat transfer to cooldown and depressurize, the RCS may experience BCM cooling. With the RCS in a saturated condition, core decay heat causes boiling to occur and steam to be transferred to the hot legs. BCM mode develops when the steam void that initially forms in the top of the hot leg expands down into the steam generator tubes where it is condensed. The primary coolant is condensed by EFW or MFW delivered through the auxiliary header when the steam void expands below the elevation of the auxiliary header nozzles. This is referred to as EFW-BCM. When the steam void expands below the secondary pool level in the steam generator, primary coolant will condense due to pool-BCM. Both EFW-BCM and pool-BCM are effective forms of heat transfer, and are either cyclic or stable in nature.

However, both forms of BCM can cause underborated water to accumulate in the steam generator tubes, lower steam generator head and cold leg up to the RCP spill-over. This occurs because only a small percentage of the boron is transported with the steam that is condensed during BCM cooling. The volume VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 14 of 52 of this underborated RCS condensate would be swept into the core upon bumping a RCP. The consequences of a RCP restart could introduce greater than $5 of reactivity and be as severe as a rapid power excursion with the potential for significant fuel damage and RCS pressure boundary damage.

The most likely indication of boron maldistribution is inconsistent boron sample results. However, the capability to quantify the size of a region of unborated or underborated water is limited. If BCM has occurred the volume of condensed RCS coolant consisting of unborated or underborated water should be assumed large.

The potential for a rapid boron dilution event decreases as the RCS boron concentration decreases with cycle burnup. Towards the end-of-cycle when the boron concentration is lower, RCS conditions exist which permit safely bumping or restarting a RCP in a formerly idle loop assumed to have undergone some boiler condenser heat transfer.

If hot leg level remains above the elevation of the auxiliary header, it can be concluded BCM cooling has not occurred. In other words, primary coolant level greater than the auxiliary header elevation precludes significant accumulation of unborated or underborated primary coolant. Likewise, if no feedwater has been supplied to a steam generator it can be concluded that BCM has not occurred.

Insufficient boron mixing in the RCS can also exist for the following conditions. With a single RCP in operation and a large void indicated in the opposite loop, no mixing in the idle loop should be assumed.

The void may prevent reverse flow, and an underborated region may therefore exist in the idle loop. An RCP bump or restart must not be attempted in this plant configuration without careful consideration of the potential for a reactivity insertion event.

3.3 Implementation Three sets of guidance are provided. The first considers a loss of SCM and a void in the hot leg, but is subject to one of the following conditions: 1) the void is not large enough to result in unborated/underborated primary condensate or 2) the void extends into the tube region, but the SG has not been fed. The second set of guidance considers adequate mixing of the primary coolant during natural circulation to allow for a pump bump or restart. Lastly, guidance is provided for time in core life where boron concentration is less due to burnup. For certain conditions RCP restart can be performed since a significant boron dilution event cannot occur. A combination of RCP cold leg temperature or SG pressure, pre-accident boron concentration, and elapsed time are used to determine when bumping or restarting a RCP is recommended.

No Boiler Condenser Mode Confirmed A RCP may be bumped or restarted if one of the following is true:

a. Hot leg level remained > 389 inches (value includes allowances for instrument uncertainty)

The primary coolant level has remained at an elevation greater than the EFW upper header. This value reflects an elevation at the secondary face of the upper tube sheet.

It can be concluded that a significant volume of unborated/underborated condensate has not accumulated in the tubes if the hot leg void has not penetrated the SG tube region.

b. If during HPI forced cooling neither SG has been fed while the RCPs were off and adequate core exit subcooling has been restored, a RCP may be restarted. Without feedwater being delivered BCM cannot occur and there is no concern.

Adequate Natural Circulation Mixing Confirmed

  • A RCP may be restarted if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 15 of 52

1. Subcooled natural circulation has existed in both loops for > 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, and,
2. There is no indication of increasing reactivity during natural circulation on available nuclear instrumentation.

If the above conditions are satisfied adequate boron mixing in each loop exists and a region of unborated or underborated primary coolant does not exist.

Criteria for RCP Bump/Restart Due to Low Initial Boron Concentration One of two figures may be used to determine if bumping or restarting a RCP is advisable following BCM cooling. The first figure is a function of RCS cold leg temperature and elapsed time. The second figure is a function of SG pressure and elapsed time since reactor trip. If cold leg temperature indication is available in the loop with a pump to be bumped/restarted Figure 1 should be used. If cold leg temperature indication is unavailable, but SG pressure indication is available then Figure 2 should be used. The following criteria must be satisfied prior to using either Figure.

"* Verify all control rods are fully inserted

"* Verify reactor power was > 70% prior to reactor trip

"* Verify time since reactor trip is within analyzed limits (< 48 h)

Figure 1 uses RCS cold leg temperature as a function of elapsed time since reactor trip for various RCS boron concentration pre-conditions. Figure 2 uses SG pressure as a function of elapsed time since reactor trip for various RCS boron concentration pre-conditions. The figures are generated assuming the following:

"* All control rods are fully inserted

"* Assumes 70% full power equilibrium xenon.

"* Includes 50 ppmB concentration measurement uncertainty in initial RCS concentration (prior to accident)

"* In Figure 1, a 9 'F uncertainty allowance for RCS temperature indication. In Figure 2, a 110 psi uncertainty allowance for SG pressure indication.

To use either Figure 1 or Figure 2, determine:

1. For Figure 1 determine the lowest indicated cold leg temperature.

For Figure 2, determine the lowest indicated SG pressure during the accident.

2. The pre-accident RCS boron concentration, and
3. the elapsed time since reactor trip.
4. Given the above considerations, if the lowest indicated RCS cold leg temperature or SG pressure is greater than the line corresponding to the pre-accident RCS boron concentration, a RCP may be bumped or restarted per the EOP.

If any of the above conditions are not met, evaluation by site and G.O. nuclear engineering can be requested.

3.4 Expected Plant Response Plant response to bumping or restarting a RCP will depend upon the plant conditions prior to a bump/restart. When a RCP is bumped or restarted with a hot leg void, expect the void to collapse as it is quenched in the SG. If the RCP is bumped, RCS pressure will decrease rapidly as a result. One RCP at a VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 16 of 52 time should be bumped for a period of time sufficient to allow the pump motor amps to stabilize (approximately 10 seconds). If plant conditions do not indicate the presence of natural circulation cooling following the pump bump, the other RCPs may each be bumped one time. If bumping the RCPs does not start natural circulation cooling, then refer to: E. Natural Circulation Cooldown Considerations.

If the RCP is restarted, RCS pressure will decrease. A loss of SCM may occur with the initial decrease in system pressure and require the RCP to be tripped shortly after it is restarted. If adequate SCM remains, plant response should then be consistent with forced circulation cooling. However, if a large void exists in the loop opposite the operating RCP, forced circulation cooling may be prevented.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 19 of 52 B. STEAMING A STEAM GENERATOR WITH WATER IN THE STEAM LINE 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Potential loss of secondary pressure control due to waterhammer causing steam line rupture and/or loss of turbine-driven pump steam supply.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Evidence of a SG tube leak.

"* SG level of 96 %OR or greater.

"* Inadequate core cooling.

"* HPI cooling cooldown.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested action Summary

  • Steam a SG with indication of water in the steam line.

3.2 Background Opening a valve to reduce secondary pressure and cooldown the primary system with water in the steam line risks: 1) waterhammer, 2) losing steam supply to pump turbines, and/or 3) transferring water to pump turbines. A waterhammer event could ultimately result in loss of secondary pressure control due to pipe break or failure of a valve to reseat.

At SG levels of 96 %OR and greater it is possible that water has leaked-by the outlet annulus via a SG level instrument tap near the top of the baffle. The water will pool in the outlet annulus until it spills into the steam line. The steam line exits the steam generator horizontally for -10 feet before turning and increasing in elevation 10 feet or greater. The water level in this section of the pipe will be approximately the same as in the steam generator. When steam generator level drops below the upper tap location, water will begin to drain back into the steam generator. Consideration should be given to some water remaining in the steam line immediately exiting the SG despite a reduction in SG level.

Expect condensation to occur over the length of the steam lines under low flow or stagnant conditions.

The steam lines are horizontal or downward sloping the entire length of the run to the turbine after the initial rise in elevation at the steam generator exit. Therefore, the condensate will not accumulate in a "water catch" piping arrangement other than at the SG exit.

With water leaking by the instrument tap, the water will pool in the length of pipe exiting the SG. The level in this pipe will be approximately the same as the level indicated in the SG. With a level established in the pipe, high steam velocity is then necessary to form a plug of water. High steam velocity is also required to entrain liquid in a partially liquid filled pipe. A controlled cooldown using the ADVs or the Turbine Bypass System does not typically generate steam velocities large enough to entrain liquid or form a plug in a steam line with a residual level of water (in cases where indicated SG level has decreased below 96 %OR). The velocity necessary to do so depends upon the liquid level in the steam line as well, but once the line has been drained steaming the SG is allowable as very high steam velocities are required with lower levels.

If there is indication of SG levels approaching 120 inches above the instrument tap elevation, then water has spilled into the steam line above the exit. Full range indication is uncompensated and unreliable in VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 20 of 52 this condition of operation. However when full range SG level indicates an increasing trend in SG level, well above the instrument tap elevation (500 inches or greater), it can be assumed water has spilled into the length of pipe rising above the exit (approximately 10 feet). The SG should not be steamed at all in this instance, even if the OR level decreases below 96 %OR.

If neither steam line is available, HPI cooling should be used to cool down the unit.

3.3 Implementation If SG level is greater than 96% OR (or equivalent temperature compensated XSUR level) do not steam the SG.

If full range indication does not indicate SG levels continued to increase above the instrument tap level to a level greater than 450 inches (69 %FR), and SG level has reduced to a level less than 96 %OR, the SG may then be steamed.

Otherwise, HPI cooling should be used to cooldown the unit if water is suspected in both steam lines.

3.4 Expected Plant Response Secondary pressure control should not be lost if the guidance is followed during RCS cooldown.

Controlling to the prescribed cooldown rate precludes liquid entrainment and/or plug formation in the steam line piping exiting the SG.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of offsite power.

"* Station blackout.

"* Turbine Building flooding.

"* Loss of LPSW

"* EWST level low.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary

"* Provide power to a HPSW pump.

"* Refill EWST using offsite fire department engine.

"* Use Keowee Hydro Station portable backup jockey pump on the discharge structure.

3.2

Background:

The EWST provides the following functions:

"* The EWST is capable of delivering the demands of each fire suppression system individually. This constitutes a significant demand on the EWST, which cannot be sustained for very long.

"* During loss of all AC power (station blackout), HPSW could provide cooling water to the turbine driven EFW pump.

"* During loss of normal LPSW supply due to a Turbine Building flood: HPSW provide cooling water to the HPI pump motor coolers.

"* Upon CCW pump restart after loss of LPSW, HPSW is needed to supply water via SSW piping to the CCW pumps for bearing lubrication and motor cooling.

Replenishing the EWST is a risk-significant operation. Failure to replenish the EWST increases the core damage frequency by a factor of three. Approximately 9% of the total core damage frequency involve failure of this action.

3.3 Implementation Refill the EWST through a method delineated in:

AP/1/A/1700/010, Enclosure 6.1 Two methods are presented in the Enclosure. Options 1 and 2 will deliver a maximum flow of 1500 gpm.

Consider the following when choosing a method:

Option 1: Use offsite fire department engine on the intake structure.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* 1/2/3RIA-39 CNTRL RM Gas Alarm actuated

"* Outside air booster fans are operating 3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary

"* Terminate outside air booster fan operation

"* Continue outside air booster fan operation 3.2

Background:

The outside air booster fans are operated when a control room air handling unit return air radiation monitor (1/3RIA-39 (CNTL RM Gas)) alarms. The outside air booster fans provide filtered air to positively pressurize the control room.

The outside air booster fans should not be disabled prior to terminating the radiation release. The in-line filters should remain operable for greater than 20 days. Therefore if radiation protection or available radiation monitoring indicates the event has not been terminated it is prudent to maintain the outside air booster fans operable.

The location of the source term is important to the decision. If release is a result of component or penetration failure in the Auxiliary Building, continued operation of the outside are booster fans is prudent. Bypassing the Auxiliary Building via the emergency or equipment hatches could result in a release effecting the booster fan suction source. If RIA-39 counts do not stabilize or reduce with booster fan operation, consideration should be given to isolating the outside air booster fans.

In addition, chlorine release or smoke near the fan suction could prompt isolating the fans depending on the magnitude of the source term.

3.3 Implementation Determine location of source. If source is such that operation of the outside air booster fans result in continued and increasing 1/2/3RIA-39 CNTRL RM gas alarm counts, it may be prudent to terminate operation of the fans.

Consider extenuating circumstances which may effect Control Room habitability, such as fire or noxious gas, to evaluate continued operation of the outside air booster fans.

3.4 Expected Plant Response Operation of the control room air booster fans should result in reducing counts on or stopping the l/2/3RIA-30 CNTRL RM gas alarm.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of CCW intake canal.

"* Fire.

"* Loss of any fire zone due to (10 CFR 50 Appendix R) fire.

"* Station blackout.

"* Loss of all equipment (except cabling) in non-vital areas due to sabotage.

"* Loss of equipment in the Turbine and Auxiliary Buildings due to a flood resulting from CCW System ruptures.

"* Loss of equipment in the Turbine and Auxiliary Buildings due to a tornado missile event.

"* Indication of loose parts alarms or sustained large magnitude noise in the RCS.

"* Loss of subcooling margin.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary 0 Evaluate natural circulation cooldown conditions.

3.2

Background:

The following summarizes various natural circulation cooldown scenarios and provides plant conditions and expected response to operator intervention. The guidance considers thermally coupled primary and secondary systems as a function of RCS SCM, loop asymmetry during natural circulation, phenomena which will interrupt natural circulation, and what is necessary to enhance or restart natural circulation.

Primary/Secondary Coupled - RCS is Subcooled Subcooled natural circulation is indicated by:

1. Te.ld coupled to the saturation temperature at the SG pressure,
2. Incore T/C temperature indication should track Tht within approximately 10 OF, and
3. Thor and Tcold temperature difference should be between 30 to 50 OF.
4. SG level at 50 %OR, 240 in XSUR.

The AT between Thor and Tcold is expected to be 50 °F or less. The magnitude of the flow rate will decrease as the AT decreases and as core decay heat decreases.

Primary/Secondary Coupled - RCS is Saturated Saturated natural circulation is indicated by:

1. Tco.d coupled to the saturation temperature at the SG pressure.
2. Loss of SCM SG level VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 25 of 52 With the RCS saturated, incore T/C temperature will track Th., whether natural circulation flow exists or not. The AT between Thor and TCold will vary between 50 'F and 0 'F, depending upon how much of the core heat is transferred to the primary coolant as latent heat of vaporization. The magnitude of the flow rate will decrease as the AT decreases as core decay heat decreases.

Primary/Secondary Coupled - One SG Operable, Subcooled or Saturated If only one SG is operating during natural circulation only Th, in the operating loop will indicate core outlet temperature. Told on the operating SG will be approximately equal to Tst in the operating SG.

Tcold in the isolated SG may not be equal to Tsar in the isolated SG. It will probably be colder due to ambient losses and due to cooler injection water (seal injection, MU, HPI). AT on the operating SG may be 10 'F higher than the 50 'F expected with two operating SGs. The loop with the idle SG may prevent primary depressurization.

Interruption of Natural Circulation Natural circulation can be challenged and lost by three causes. Inadequate steam generator level and/or loss of steam generator steaming capability (including overfilling the SG) will result in degraded or loss of natural circulation. Hot leg voids collecting in the top of the hot leg will degrade or stop natural circulation. Generally, the benefits of maintaining or restoring primary-to-secondary heat transfer warrants operator action to do so.

Two sets of symptoms indicate whether natural circulation will be interrupted due to hot leg void formation. The first set are identified by a diagnosis of plant conditions that could result in void formation:

"* Loss of RCS inventory

"* Loss of subcooled margin that might result in water flashing to steam

"* Contraction of the RCS inventory due to an overcooling event

"* Cooldown and depressurization with an idle loop

"* An outsurge of hot water from the pressurizer

"* Accumulation of noncondensible gases following ICC or from any other source The second set of symptoms include indications that heat transfer has been interrupted:

"* Hot leg level < 537 inches (void large enough to interrupt natural circulation)

"* RCS temperatures increasing, with CETC temperature diverging from hot leg RTDs

"* Pressurizer level increasing due to void growth or thermal expansion (primarily if subcooled)

"* Steam generator pressure decreasing due to injection of feedwater

"* RCS temperature and pressure increasing along the saturation curve (if subcooling lost)

The first set of symptoms will likely lead to the second, with natural circulation being lost due to a hot leg void forming. As the void in the hot leg continues to expand into the steam generator tube region, boiler condenser mode heat transfer will occur. Natural circulation can be regained after it has been lost, and the cooldown could be expected to occur in a cyclic manner.

Enhancing/Stimulating Natural Circulation

"* Increase AT between primary and secondary

"* Open hot leg high point vents if a void is indicated VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 26 of 52

  • Bump or restart a RCP Increasing the temperature difference between the primary and secondary increases the density differences between the hot legs and the SGs. This is accomplished by raising SG levels and/or steaming the SGs.

The optimum cooldown method includes balanced steaming of both steam generators in order to maintain a symmetric coolant temperature distribution.

Natural circulation will become intermittent and then will be lost as a hot leg void increases. The void can be vented to mitigate the cause and duration of the loss of natural circulation. This is effective in scenarios where a primary system break cannot provide sufficient cooling. The operator is instructed to open a high point vent if subcooled margin is lost and RCS pressure is increasing due to RCS heatup. If RCS pressurization persists, the pressurizer PORV is also opened to assist in removing decay energy and increasing HPI flow by decreasing RCS pressure.

If a hot leg void exists and SCM has not been lost, then once-through cooling is adequately removing decay heat and the primary may be thermally decoupled from the secondary. In this case, venting a hot leg void is not necessary. However, the void may be vented to restore natural circulation.

Bumping or restarting a RCP may also be utilized to mitigate voiding in the RCS. A RCP bump consists of a pump restart of sufficient duration to allow pump motor amps to stabilize (approximately 10 seconds) followed by an immediate trip of the pump. Bumping or restarting a RCP sweeps the void into the steam generator tubes where it condenses. RCS pressure decreases as the void is condensed and more of the RCS is exposed to the steam generator. Refer to TSCG Section A.

3.3 Implementation Enhancing Natural Circulation Evaluate the following actions that enhance natural circulation.

"* SG levels may be raised up to 96 %OR.

"* Steam SGs to increase AT between the primary and secondary.

"* Maintain makeup to the RCS for losses and shrink (preserve loop thermal communication).

Restarting Natural Circulation Evaluate the following actions, which may aid in restarting natural circulation:

"* Maintain makeup to the RCS for losses and shrink (preserve loop thermal communication by minimizing hot leg void growth). This is necessary to restart natural circulation if the plant is in intermittent natural circulation or BCM cooling.

"* Open hot leg high point vents to aid thermal connection between the hot legs and the steam generators if a hot leg void indicated.

"* Bump or restart a RCP (refer to TSCG Section A).

3.4 Expected Plant Response The plant will generally respond in a sluggish manner to operator intervention when in natural circulation cooling. However, if the plant is in BCM cooling, the plant can respond quickly to operator intervention.

When natural circulation exists, it can be enhanced by increasing the thermal center (raising SG level) or increasing AT between the primary and secondary (steaming the SG). Consideration should be given to raising SG levels above target setpoints but less than 96 %OR.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 27 of 52 When natural circulation is degraded or intermittent, verify SG level and ensure steaming capacity is available. Makeup should be increased to enhance thermal coupling between the primary and the secondary. Intermittent natural circulation may exist initially or may follow natural circulation. It precedes BCM cooling if makeup is insufficient to match system losses and shrink.

If natural circulation has ceased, verify adequate RCS makeup and try to vent the RCS hot leg void. The plant may be in BCM cooling if the SGs remain operable and the primary and secondary systems are coupled. BCM cooling is an excellent mode of heat transfer, however a large region of underborated/unborated primary fluid may accumulate. As makeup matches break flow and system shrink (or the hot leg void is vented) the system will transition back to natural circulation though intermittent natural circulation.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of spent fuel pool cooling.

"* Tornado accident.

"* SSF RC makeup required.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary Makeup and/or monitoring the spent fuel pools 3.2

Background:

Maintaining SFP level is important for radiological, fuel integrity, reactivity management, and accident mitigation reasons. The SFP is designed for boiling heat transfer, however makeup for boil-off needs to be assured for radiological and fuel integrity concerns. In addition, makeup to the SFP may be required to make up for SSF demands. Makeup may be from a borated or unborated/underborated source. This will affect reactivity management and accident mitigation when the SFP is used as a source for SSF demands.

Monitors 1RIA-6 (Spent Fuel Pool) and IRIA-41 (Spent Fuel Pool Bldg Gas Mon) should be monitored for an increase in radiation level inside the Units 1 and 2 SFP area. Monitor 3RIA-6 (Spent Fuel Pool) and 3RIA-41 (Spent Fuel Bldg Gas Mon) for an increase in radiation level inside the Unit 3 SFP area.

SFP heat load and SSF demands determine the urgency of monitoring and necessity for makeup. For example, following an outage, and at an initial 150 'F, the spent fuel pool time to boil is approximately 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> after loss of SFP cooling.

3.3 Implementation

  • Monitor Unit 2 CCW intake pipe inventory For loss of lake, loss of intake canal, tornado or other events requiring SSF ASW operation, evaluating CCW intake pipe inventory requires removing high point manways and using direct observation of level following loss of siphon.

  • Loss of LPSW and BWST inventory depletion.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Uncontrollable flooding of the Turbine Building.

"* Loss of primary to secondary heat transfer control from Unit Control Rooms and aux shutdown panels.

"* SSF ASW system and station ASW System unavailable.

"* Using forced HPI cooling.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTIONS 3.1 Requested Action Summary

  • Provide guidance to conserve BWST inventory to extend HPI cooling, considering the following potential actions:

- Throttle HPI flow to balance decay heat.

- Secure RBS system.

- Vent the RB.

3.2 Background BWST inventory constitutes the ultimate heat sink when primary-to-secondary heat transfer is lost and LPSW is unavailable. Forced IPI cooling is used to remove core decay heat when primary-to-secondary heat transfer is lost. Therefore, conserving BWST inventory by limiting what systems place demands on it extends the time available for forced HPI cooling. Aligning makeup to and replenishing the BWST inventory should be pursued while attempting to conserve the inventory.

HPI forced cooling is initiated by manually establishing HPI flow in the injection mode and latching open the PORV to create a relief flowpath. With subcooling margin all but one RCP is tripped to minimize the heat load on the system and maintain good circulation and mixing of injection flow.

HPI forced cooling results in energy relief to the RB. Without LPSW the RB structure and internal structures are the only heat sinks available to remove the energy from core decay heat, RCS metal, and secondary metal released by venting the RCS via the PORV. The controlled release of primary fluid to the building via the pressurizer PORV, safety valves or the hot leg high point vents via quench tank relief will result in increasing containment temperature and pressure. If there is no evidence of a high energy line break, and LPSW is unavailable, operation of the RBS system will only be marginally effective in removing energy from the atmosphere to containment structures. The RBS system should be isolated to minimize BWST drawdown rate.

Venting the RB removes energy primarily from the RB atmosphere. The RB purge system is not designed to operate under the differential pressure expected during HPI forced cooling. Venting would endanger the in-line filter package given environmental conditions present in the RB during HPI forced cooling. Likewise, venting RB may challenge the isolation valves ability to reseat. Lastly, removing air from the RB without replenishing it may complicate restarting RBS if required. If the air is removed and the atmosphere is predominantly saturated steam, spraying down containment could result in a differential VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 33 of 52 pressure greater than design. Given these concerns it is not recommended the RB be vented prior to establishing LPSW flow. If venting containment, purged air should be replenished with fresh air.

3.3 Implementation Minimize BWST Drawdown RBS should be isolated if there is no evidence of a HELB. Indication of a HELB would include: rapidly changing RB pressure and temperature, rapidly increasing RB sump level, and possibly increasing radiation levels in the building. If RB pressure remains less than 40 psig, RBS should remain isolated.

HPI cooling, without a large HELB, will only produce a gradual worsening of Reactor Building conditions.

Depending on the predicted time to recover LPSW or acquire a makeup source for the BWST, consideration should be given to minimizing HPI flow. This can be done by matching HPI forced cooling flow with the core decay heat demand. This will result in losing SCM, but would further extend the BWST inventory. Refer to EP/1,2,3/A/1800/001 Section 502.

Venting the Reactor Building Venting the RB risks subsequent loss of the ability to isolate, filter, and monitor any radiological release.

As Reactor Building ultimate design pressure is near 144 psig, venting the Reactor Building should not be considered unless failure is deemed imminent.

3.4 Expected Plant Response The energy storage and conduction capacity of the RB during HPI cooling is sufficient to preserve Reactor Building integrity. As such, neither RBS or venting the Reactor Building should be necessary.

Therefore, BWST inventory can be conserved by minimizing demand, or isolating RBS.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of decay heat removal.

"* BWST inventory approaching depletion.

"* BWST aligned for gravity flow to RCS.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTIONS:

3.1 Requested action Summary

  • Drain CFTs to RCS to remove decay heat/makeup for boil off (when the BWST is unavailable).

3.2 Background A CFT contains 1040 +/- 30 cu-ft of borated water. In a shutdown condition one or more CFTs may not be available. CFTs may be at Reactor Building atmospheric conditions or have a nitrogen overpressure of 50 psi or greater (OP/1(2,3)/A/1 104/001, Core Flooding System).

The location of the RCS vent, the presence of steam generator nozzle dams, and RCS level should be considered when pressurizing and discharging the CFTs in a shutdown condition. If the RCS vent is in the upper SG, completely discharging a CFT with a pressurizer level of 360 inches could result in inventory loss out the vent. If SG nozzle dams are installed the CFTs must not be discharged.

The CFTs can be pressurized as necessary to discharge liquid volume for makeup. Each CFT should be discharged separately to maximize the liquid available to remove decay heat.

3.3 Implementation CFT Discharge for Decay Heat Removal:

Refer to OP/1(2,3)/A/1 104/001, Enclosure 4.14, for details regarding discharging the CFTs to the RCS.

Equipment required/considerations:

Inventory in the CFT.

Nitrogen high pressure header available.

Power supply to valves, 1/2/3CF-1 and/or 1/2/3CF-2.

The valves CF-I and CF-2 can be operated locally. However, Reactor Building radiological and environmental conditions may preclude local operation.

The flow rate necessary to remove decay heat 1 day after shutdown from full power operation is 108 gpm and at 5 days the required flow rate is 62 gpm. Controlling CFT discharge to match decay heat will be difficult. CFT inventory should be discharged to preserve RCS level, but flow rates much greater than required to remove decay heat and maintain RCS level is likely. With the RV head removed, the difference in head generated by the initial CFT and RCS levels will produce CFT flows of several thousand GPM even if the CFT were vented to RB atmosphere.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 35 of 52 CFT nitrogen pressure should be reduced to minimize rate of discharge prior to opening the discharge valves. Consideration of the RCS vent location will affect how the CFTs are discharged as well. If the RV head is removed, inventory will spill from the RV given coarse flow control from the CFT. However, if the RCS vent is in the pressurizer or the upper SG head, CFT discharge should be controlled to a level several hundred inches below the vent location. The flow rate from a single CFT is sufficient to match decay heat at 1 day of shutdown, therefore the CFTs should be discharged one at a time.

A CFT must not be discharged if SG nozzle dams are installed.

3.4 Expected Plant Response CFT inventory can be used to makeup for boil-off following loss of DHR. Control of the injection rate will not be precise and a flow rate of less than 100 gpm is only required to makeup for decay heat. The CFTs should be discharged by pressurizing with nitrogen and pushing water through the injection lines as needed to maintain RCS level.

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 36 of 52 J. MITIGATE LPI PUMP INTERACTION AND LPI PUMP RESTART 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Protect LPI pumps during low flow operation.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

  • Two LPI pumps in operation and BWST inventory decreasing, requiring LPIIHPI "piggyback" operation to provide HPI suction from the RBES and restart of an LPI pump following deadhead operation SBLOCA
  • HPI forced cooling
  • SGTR 3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary Evaluate restarting an LPI pump following a low flow condition or continued operation of LPI pumps at low flow conditions.

EOP cautions the operator and informs station management if LPI pumps are operated below minimum flow values:

"* Any LPI pump operated at <100 gpm.

"* Two LPI pumps operating in piggyback with NO LPI header flow and total indicated HPI flow <500 gpm.

Turn off an LPI pump.

3.2

Background:

The manufacturer's recommended minimum flows: (recommended for accident condition only to minimize undue stresses)

"* LPI flow > 100 gpm (5 continuous days)

"* LPI flow > 200 gpm (one year continuous)

For some SBLOCAs, HPI cooling, or SGTR events, an interaction between the LPI pumps can occur during LPLI/PI-piggyback operation. In particular, under low flow conditions a weak-pump strong-pump interaction is established. The acceptability of the LPI/HPI piggyback alignment with two trains of LPI supplying suction to two HPI pumps through both LP- 15 and LP- 16 is a function of total HPI injection flow assuming no LPI flow injecting into the RCS. Analysis has been performed modeling the weak pump/strong pump interaction with both trains at a combined flowrate of 500 gpm. The analysis shows if pumps differ by as much as 7% in developed head that flow from the weaker pump will be limited.

Periodic testing verifies that the "A" & "B" LPI pumps are within this 7% assumption. If two LPI pumps are operating in piggyback with no LPI header flow and total indicated HPI flow < 500 gpm, it is recommended that one LPI pump be secured. A single LPI pump can provide sufficient flow for 2 HPI pumps.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 37 of 52 Operating the LPI pumps below minimum flow will cause hydraulic instabilities. Operating the LPI pump for an extended period (@ <100 gpm) can lead to fluid flashing in the casing that can lead to cavitation and seal failure. This can be catastrophic.

Vendor recommendation is based on a similar pump that was operated at approximately 100 gpm for one month. This test showed no degradation in pump performance or component damage. To minimize undue pump stress, this manufacturer's recommendation must be adhered to.

3.3 Implementation Re-energizing an LPI pump after it has been secured because it was deadheaded or if two LPI pumps operating in piggyback with no LPI header flow and total indicated HPI flow <500 gpm requires an evaluation.

" Depending on RCS conditions, specifically RCS pressure and the rate it is decreasing, it may be advisable to secure an LPI pump in support of piggyback. A single LPI pump can provide sufficient flow for 2 HPI pumps. If acceptable increase total indicated HPI flow to >500 gpm to maintain two LPI pumps in operation.

" The temperature of the fluid in the LPI pump is a function of the length of time the LPI pump has been operating at deadhead condition. It is advisable to restart the LPI pump when it can be assured that RCS pressure has decreased that will allow LPI injection. An LPI pump can develop approximately 180 psi of developed head.

" When restarting an LPI pump for piggyback operation after it has been secured due to deadhead operation, consideration must be given to the fact that the LPI pump may only have minimum recirc flow until LP-15 & 16 are opened. Minimize the time between pump restart and opening LP-15 or LP- 16.

Approximate LPI Flow Rate Calculation The indicated LPI flow is inaccurate at low flowrates. For example the indicated flow can vary between 0.0 gpm to 1200 gpm if actual flow is <750 gpm. Based on LPI performance, it is expected that LPI flow should rapidly increase to >1000 gpm as RCS pressure decreases below shut off head (approximately 180 psig). LPI flow can be estimated based on the BWST draindown rate as follows (assuming a relatively constant rate of BWST level decrease):

- The volume of the BWST is ; 7613 gals/ft.

- LPI flow = {(initial level - current level)/time} (7613) = sum of HPI and RBS flow

- The instrument uncertainty analysis (worst case) are:

If RBS is operating, the flowrate should be throttled to < 1500 gpm (when taking suction from BWST). The flow rate uncertainty is approximately 143 gpm.

HPI flow uncertainty is approximately 25 gpm if flow >500 gpm. For indicated HPI flow below 125 gpm, actual flow can be 0.0 gpm or > 189 gpm

- Comparison of header flows allows one to diagnose the validity of the indicated flow.

- Analysis shows that two HPI pumps can deliver approximately 550 gpm & 650 gpm @ RCS pressures of 1500 psig and 1200 psig respectively. This is assuming the HPI pumps developed head have degraded 10%.

- RB pressure can influence LPI total developed head when aligned to the BWST.

- RCS pressure must be considered in the evaluation.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS Evaluate continued operation of LPI pumps at low flow conditions.

"* An Oconee unit has tripped and is experiencing a station blackout (SBO)

"* The main feeder bus cannot be energized through the startup transformer and the standby bus cannot be energized from either Keowee or CT-5

"* Another Oconee Unit is generating and is energizing both its MFBs.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested action Summary:

"* Close the operating Oconee unit's standby breaker 1 (SI) to energize standby bus 1 (SB 1) and power the auxiliary service water switchgear (ASWS) from the operating Oconee generator.

"* Connect a HPI pump (HPIP), from the Oconee unit experiencing the SBO, to the ASWS.

"* This would allow HPI forced cooling of the core, while power is being restored. Also the auxiliary service water pump (ASWP) would be available to provide inventory to the steam generators if needed for cooling.

3.2

Background:

During a loss of switchgear event, the underground emergency power path or a Lee combustion turbine can supply one HPIP and the ASWP through SB1 and the ASWS. The HPIP can maintain water on the core and the ASWP can supply water to the steam generators providing a heat sink for the reactor coolant system. If the underground emergency power path or a Lee combustion turbine can not energize the standby bus, the HPIP and the ASWP would not be available. If another Oconee unit were generating, that unit could energize SBI by closing its S1 breaker. The S I breaker close logic will allow the breaker to close as long as the standby bus is not energized. The ASWS could then be energized to provide power to a HPIP and the ASWP.

The typical load for a running Oconee Unit is 12-15MW. The auxiliary and startup transformers are rated at 33.6MVA. The addition load of one HPIP and an ASWP is < IMVA or 137 amps. With both main feeder buses in service, the load on main feeder bus 1 would be within its limits. UFSAR 8.2.1 3 states that each unit's auxiliary startup transformer is sized to carry full load auxiliaries for one nuclear generating unit plus the engineered safeguards equipment of another unit. The operating load of a HPIP and an ASWP is considerably less than a unit's engineered safeguards load, thus there would be sufficient power available should the operating unit trip.

3.3 Implementation

1. Verify SB I is not energized.
2. Ensure all breakers for SB I are open.
3. Place CT4 BUS 1 "AUTO/MAN" transfer switch in "MANUAL".

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* An Oconee unit has tripped and is experiencing a station blackout (SBO)

"* SSF RC makeup pump is not available

"* An HPI pump can be powered from the ASW switchgear

"* The BWST and LDST are not available as suction sources to the HPI pumps

"* The SFP can be aligned as a suction source for the HPI pumps 3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested action Summary:

"* Provide guidance to monitor the SFP and ensure suction remains available to the HPI pumps based on limitations on the following parameters:

"* SFP level

"* HPI flow rate

"* SFP temperature 3.2

Background:

If the BWST and LDST are not available as a suction source for the HPI pumps, it is possible to align the suction of an HPI pump to the SFP. Conditions in the SFP need to be monitored to ensure suction to the HPI pumps is not interrupted. Design calculations demonstrate that an HPI pump will have adequate NPSH when aligned to the SFP. However, suction could be interrupted based on the following two concerns:

0 Siphon break at elevation 822 feet in the SFP:

The suction line as a siphon break at 822 feet. This consists of two 1/2 inch holes. If the SFP level decreases to 822 feet, suction to the HPI pumps will be interrupted. Thus, this is one limit that the TSC must consider.

0 Flashing in the high point of the SFP suction line:

HPI flow can be interrupted if the pressure in the high point of the suction line from the SFP equals the vapor pressure based on SFP temperature. This is the primary concern when aligning HPI to the SFP.

The factors that influence flashing are:

SFP temperature - If SFP cooling is lost, SFP temperature will increase. The higher the temperature, the less margin to flashing in the high point. The factor that influences SFP temperature is the decay heat load in the SFP.

SFP level - SFP level impacts flashing in that a lower SFP level results in lower elevation head and a lower pressure in the high point of the suction line. SFP level will decrease based on the HPI flow rate.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 42 of 52 HPI flow rate - HPI flow rate impacts margin to flashing by its effect on the pressure in the high point of the SFP suction line. As HPI flow rate increases, the frictional losses in the suction pipe increase.

Increased frictional losses decrease the pressure in the high point of the line, thus reducing the margin to the vapor pressure. The frictional losses due to the flow rate are a second order effect when compared to SFP level and temperature. Thus, the primary issue with SFP flow rate is its impact on SFP level.

3.3 Implementation Siphon Break If an HPI pump is aligned to the SFP, the pump should be secured prior to SFP level decreasing below 824 feet. The 824 feet criterion is selected to provide margin to the elevation of the siphon break (siphon break is at a SFP level of 822 feet).

Flashing at SFP Suction High Point Flashing in the high point of the SFP suction line depends on SFP temperature, SFP level, and the HPI flow rate. Calculation OSC-3873, Rev. 4, provides data on the SFP as a suction source for the HPI pumps. The analyses in this calculation demonstrate that the frictional losses associated with the HPI flow rate are small. Thus, the conditions at which flashing occurs can be directly determined based on only SFP level and temperature. Also, for a given SFP level and temperature, the differences between the Units 1 and 2 SFP and the Unit 3 SFP are negligible. Thus, the same data to determine the flashing point can be used for both SFPs.

  • Monitor SFP level and temperature initially on a one half hour frequency and project changes in temperature and level to ensure continued suction remains to the HPI pumps. Adjust monitoring frequency based on projections of SFP temperature and level.
  • HPI flow rate should be adjusted based on RCS requirements taking into consideration the impact of changing flow rates on SFP level.

ENSURE TOTAL LPSW RECIRCULATION FLOW IS *9000 GPM DURING CCW DAM FAILURE 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN Total LPSW flow is maintained _<9000 gpm during a CCW Dam failure scenario. Flow to various LPSW loads may require throttling to achieve desired flow rate.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS This guidance is used during Case B of AP/1/A/1700/013 (Dam Failure Without Loss of CCW Intake Canal). The Symptoms for entering AP/1/A/1700/013 are:

  • Visual observation of decreasing lake level or dam failure
  • Telephone communication of a Keowee or Little River dam failure
  • "CCW LAKE LEVEL LOW" statalarm (ISA-09/B-10)

"* "FOREBAY ELEV" decreasing toward 70 feet 3.0 REQUESTED ACTION Determine which LPSW loads should be throttled to ensure total LPSW recirculation flow is

  • 9000 gpm.

3.1

Background:

In the event of a Loss of Lake Keowee, the preferred method of decay heat removal is via the CCW System recirculation mode. In this alignment, the Unit 1&2 and Unit 3 LPSW systems are cross-connected and one LPSW pump operated to supply the required loads for all three units.

The LPSW System is aligned so that the normal discharge paths are isolated such that flow is forced in the reverse direction through the Unit 1 RCW coolers and back to the CCW crossover.

Per OSC-5739, total LPSW flow is limited to 9000 gpm to ensure excessive velocities are not generated in the tubes of the RCW Coolers and to reduce the likelihood of undesirable internal LPSW recirculation in certain system configurations.

3.2 Implementation

Since total LPSW flow is limited to 9000 gpm and only one LPSW pump is operating, each unit is allowed 3000 gpm of LPSW flow. The only available LPSW loads on each unit are listed below as well as the LPSW throttle valve associated with each load.

  • "B" RBCU and RBACs - 1/2/3LPSW-21

MANAGE KEOWEE LAKE LEVEL DURING A LOOP 1.0 SAFETY CONCERN During any event involving a loss of off-site power (LOOP) and operation of Keowee Hydro Station, the lake level will decrease significantly. Decreasing lake level can adversely affect the operability of several plant systems and equipment.

2.0 PROCEDURE ENTRY CONDITIONS The following conditions are considered in preparation of the following guidance.

"* Loss of off-site power.

"* Keowee Hydro Station in operation.

3.0 REQUESTED ACTION 3.1 Requested Action Summary

"* Minimize usage of Lake Keowee inventory.

"* Supplement Lake Keowee inventory from Lake Jocassee.

"* Take actions to mitigate effects of decreasing lake level on Oconee systems/equipment as follows:

1. Minimize LPSW System demand to reduce NPSH required.
2. Align LPSW supply to Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump suction to increase NPSH available.
3. Place HPSW pumps in OFF position to increase NPSH available for LPSW pumps.
4. Isolate RWF Equipment Cooling supply and return lines from ECCW siphon headers to maintain operability of ECCW first siphon.
5. Restart two CCW pumps (one each on two separate Oconee units) to eliminate reliance on ECCW first siphon.

3.2

Background:

SLC 16.9.7 provides operability requirements for Oconee systems and equipment based on Keowee lake level. As an event progresses and lake level decreases, various actions are necessary to ensure systems and equipment remain capable of performing their functions.

The Oconee licensing basis does not provide a duration for a LOOP, but a reasonable duration for Keowee operation is 7 days (ref. PIP 0-02-136). Assuming an event begins with the lake level at 791 feet and both Keowee units are operating, the lake level would be 783.6 feet after 7 days (ref. OSC-3528).

This assumes no water transferred to Lake Keowee from Lake Jocassee.

Section 3.3 contains several estimates of the time available based on an initial lake level of 791 feet. If an event begins at some lake level above 791 feet, add about I day for each foot above 791 feet. For example, if an event begins at 794 feet, add three days.

3.3 Implementation 3.3.1 Minimize usage of Lake Keowee inventory If all plant loads are being supplied by one unit at Keowee Hydro and the other Keowee unit is running at speed no-load, consider stopping the unloaded unit to conserve inventory. Operation of a Keowee unit VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 47 of 52 with no load uses almost as much water as operation fully loaded to the maximum emergency loads.

Therefore, stopping one Keowee unit would reduce water usage by more than 40% (ref. OSC-3528).

If both Keowee units are carrying some load, procedures do not exist to manually transfer plant loads from one Keowee unit to another in order to stop one Keowee unit. However, this action should be considered by the TSC if the event is expected to last significantly beyond 7 days. Differences in reliability and the potential for inducing an undesirable transient (i.e., loss of all AC power) should be considered before taking this action.

Operation and loading of combustion turbines at Lee Steam Station may allow stopping both Keowee units, thus conserving water in Lake Keowee. However, differences in reliability and the potential for inducing an undesirable transient (i.e., loss of all AC power) should be considered before taking this action.

If Jocassee Hydro is capable of starting and generating to the grid, evaluate the possibility of energizing the Oconee switchyard from Jocassee and providing power to the LOOP units from the switchyard. This would allow both Keowee units to be shutdown for some period of time to conserve water. However, differences in reliability and the potential for inducing an undesirable transient (i.e., loss of all AC power) should be considered before taking this action.

The ECCW second siphon discharge at CCW-8 transfers a small amount of flow (-30,000 gpm) from Lake Keowee to Lake Hartwell. If the second siphon is not needed, this discharge can be eliminated by closing CCW-8 per OP/1,2,3/A/1 104/012 (CCW System).

3.3.2 Transfer water from Lake Jocassee to Lake Keowee The System Operating Center (SOC) should be contacted to request transfer of water from Lake Jocassee to Lake Keowee. In order to transfer water from Lake Jocassee at the same rate that two Keowee units would use, at least one unit at Jocassee Hydro Station would have to be generating to the grid. However, water can be transferred at a slower rate by operating Jocassee units at speed no-load or by opening the spillway gates. This would at least reduce the rate of decrease of the Keowee lake level. Depending upon the Jocassee lake level, operation at speed no-load plus opening the spillway gates may supply adequate flow rate to match two units at Keowee Hydro.

3.3.3 Minimize LPSW System Demand If a loss of Instrument Air (IA) has occurred, maximum LPSW flow will be supplied to each LPI cooler.

LPSW flow to LPI coolers must be throttled on any non-ES unit to <6000 gpm (total flow for both coolers). There would be >9 hours before LPSW flow to LPI coolers must be throttled to maintain adequate NPSH for LPSW pumps (based on 790.6 feet actual limit per calculation). Operations estimated that this action would be completed within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> using existing procedures. After throttling, the LPSW NPSH limit would become 781.6 feet (ref. OSC-2280).

The LPSW pump NPSH limits discussed above assume administrative controls are in place to ensure the A HPSW pump is not operating. This means that the A HPSW pump should be in "standby" with the B HPSW pump in "base" (i.e., the normal alignment) or place the A HPSW pump in "off' to prevent it from operating.

3.3.4 Align LPSW Supply to Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump Suction There would be >23 hours before we would reach the 790 ft. limit for the Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump. A procedure exists to vent air from the Chiller Condenser Service Water Pump suction piping. This procedure temporarily aligns the LPSW supply, but the procedure restores the CCW supply after venting. As lake level decreases, this would lead to further air binding problems. Procedure changes are pending (ref. PIP 0-02-136) that would allow the LPSW supply to remain aligned to the Chiller VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 48 of 52 Condenser Service Water Pump during the remainder of the event. Until those procedures are revised, the TSC should consider aligning the LPSW supply and leaving it aligned to prevent the need for repetitive venting.

3.3.5 Place HPSW Pumps in OFF Position The A HPSW pump may have inadequate NPSH below 791 feet. The B HPSW pump may have inadequate NPSH below 789 feet. To ensure protection of the pumps, consider placing the pumps in the OFF position to prevent automatic start. If available, use the Jockey pump to maintain EWST level instead of the A or B HPSW pumps. Also, consider temporary charging of the HPSW system using the off-site fire department per the emergency operating procedure. If short-term operation of the A or B HPSW pump is required to maintain EWST level, this should be performed manually and the duration should be minimized to avoid pump damage due to inadequate NPSH.

3.3.6 Isolate RWF Equipment Cooling Supply and Return Lines from ECCW Siphon Headers Lake level must be above 787 feet to prevent a postulated pipe break at normally open seismic boundary valves 1,2,3CCW-319 and 1,2,3CCW-320 from potentially affecting the ECCW first siphon via air in leakage. If lake level approaches 787 feet, these valves should be closed. There would be >3.9 days before the lake level would reach 787 feet.

If enough ECCW siphon headers are operable, it may be desirable to leave the valves open on one Oconee unit to continue supplying the RWF. However, this would make the ECCW siphon headers inoperable on that unit.

As an alternative, restart of CCW pumps may be performed as discussed below instead of closing the valves.

3.3.7 Restart Two CCW Pumps Lake level must be above 786 feet to meet operability requirements for the ECCW first siphon, since the ECCW test acceptance criteria assumes a minimum lake level of 786 feet. There would be >4.8 days before the lake level would decrease to 786 feet. This is enough time for operators to restart two CCW pumps, one each on two separate Oconee units, using existing procedures (AP/1,2,3/A/1700/011). The CCW pumps would be able to supply suction to LPSW pumps without relying on the first siphon.

If necessary, the ECCW first siphon would continue to supply adequate suction to LPSW pumps down to 782 feet or lower. The 786 feet requirement is conservatively based on maintaining the ECCW header full. Engineering calculations have determined that adequate flow can be supplied to LPSW pumps with the water level inside the pipe about 4 feet (or less) below the top of the pipe, depending upon the number of open CCW pump discharge valves (ref. OSC-5349). Also, the actual ECCW test results may be better than the minimum acceptable results, thus providing additional margin.

If lake level is less than 786 feet and CCW pumps are not running, periodically monitor the following pumps that take suction from the CCW crossover for evidence of inadequate suction (i.e., amps fluctuating, cavitation noise at pumps):

"* LPSW pumps

"* Chiller Condenser Service Water pumps for A, B, C, and D chillers

"* HPSW Jockey pump

"* CCW Booster pump VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

2.0 Procedure Entry Conditions.

EOP Section LOCA Cooldown/HPI Cooldown, Response Not Obtained

"* An Oconee unit is experiencing a LOCA.

"* The primary boron dilution flowpath cannot be opened.

"* The alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is to be opened.

3.0 Requested Action 3.1 Requested Action Summary:

Open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath.

3.2

Background:

An LPI boron dilution flowpath is opened to prevent excessive boron concentrations in the reactor vessel due to extended operation in the "boiling pot mode" following LOCAs. In the boiling pot mode the reactor vessel functions as an evaporator and concentrates the boric acid. The guidance is in EOP LOCA and HPI Cooldown Sections. Excessive boron concentrations can result in precipitation of boric acid crystals that can lead to obstructing long-term cooling of the core. Calculations have shown that opening an LPI boron dilution flowpath is required no earlier than 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> following a large cold leg break LOCA, which is the limiting break size and location for this issue. The EOP does not include the 9 hour1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> requirement, with the expectation that this action will occur prior to 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />. The EOP does not require this action unless the core exit thermocouple temperatures are less than 400'F, and the subcooled margin does not exist. Also, RCS pressure must be less than 320 psig, to support operation of valves LP-103 and LP-104. These criteria are based on the higher solubility of the boric acid at temperatures of 400°F and higher, and that the boiling pot mode does not exist if the core exit thermocouple temperatures indicate subcooled conditions.

There is a good likelihood that gaps in the reactor vessel internals where the hot legs nozzles match up with the upper internals will provide a leakage path that will serve to prevent the concentration of boric acid in the core region. The B&WOG has analyzed these gaps and have concluded that they will function to prevent excessive boric acid concentration buildup. One drawback to crediting these gaps exists, and that is the possibility that the gaps will be plugged by debris circulated by the LPI System while drawing water from the RB sump. This possibility has been recognized by the industry and by the NRC, and so reliance on the gaps, while likely, should not be the sole method of preventing post-LOCA boric acid precipitation.

Opening the primary boron dilution flowpath through LP- 103 and LP- 104 does not involve any additional considerations, and is not the subject of this TSC Guideline.

Opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath through LP-1, LP-2, and LP-105 (Unit 1), and through LP-1, LP-2, and LP-3 (Units 2 and 3), does involve additional considerations, and that is the subject of this TSC Guideline.

VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 51 of 52 The first consideration is that opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath can result in a high velocity discharge that can impinge on the emergency sump screen. This high velocity can result from the RCS being at a higher pressure than the emergency sump, and opening the alternate flowpath will then accelerate water through the pipe and towards the sump and sump screen. Calculations are in progress to determine if the impingement loads on the sump screen are excessive. Until these calculations have been completed, opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath when the RCS pressure significantly exceeds the Reactor Building pressure must not be performed.

The second consideration is that opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath can result in two-phase conditions at the suction of the A LPI pump (and possibly the B or C LPI pumps for some alternate LPI alignments). This is possible due to the depressurization of the RCS (if the RCS pressure is higher than the RB pressure) and the possibility that water flowing through the LPI piping will flash.

This situation must not be allowed since continued stable operation of the LPI pumps must be maintained.

For large break LOCAs the RCS and the RB will have equalized in pressure, and there is no adverse consequence of opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath. The objectives of this TSC guidance is therefore to ensure 1) that opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is necessary, 2) that for SBLOCAs that the RCS and RB pressures have equalized prior to opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath, and 3) if pressure equalization cannot be confirmed, then the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath must not be opened.

3.3 Implementation Step 1: Determine if the boiling pot mode exists: If the core exit thermocouple temperature indicates that the water exiting the core is subcooled, then the boiling pot mode cannot exist, and there is no requirement for opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath. The actual core exit thermocouple temperatures should be considered in this determination, rather than relying on the ICCM subcooled margin, since the worst-case instrument uncertainty is included in the ICCM software.

Similarly, the available RCS and RB pressure instrumentation should be used rather than just relying on the ICCM subcooled margin. LPI System flow can also be used to confirm the RCS pressure. Trends of these temperature and pressure indications should be considered since for all LOCAs the pressures and temperatures will steadily decrease in the long-term as decay heat decreases.

Step 2: Determine if the RCS level is high enough to spill borated water out the break: The reactor vessel and hot leg level indications can be used to determine if the water level is high enough in the reactor vessel to provide flow from the core outlet, through the reactor vessel internal vent valves, into the vessel upper downcomer, and then towards the cold leg break location. If this flowpath exists, then the core boron concentration cannot increase to an unacceptable value. A vessel level of 120 inches, and a hot leg level of 120 inches is sufficient for confirming that this flowpath exists, and that the alternate post LOCA boron dilution line does not need to be opened.

Step 3: Determine if the RCS boron concentration is increasing by sampling the RB sump boron concentration: Concentration of boric acid in the reactor vessel can be evaluated by periodic sampling of the boron concentration in the RB sump. If the RB sump boron concentration is not decreasing, then the reactor vessel boron concentration cannot be increasing. An absence of a decreasing trend in the RB boron sump concentration precludes the need to open the boron dilution flowpath.

Step 4: Determine how much time is available to make this decision: A conservative earliest time requirement for opening a boron dilution flowpath is 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />. This value is the result of a conservative calculation and includes many worst-case assumptions, including a large cold leg break LOCA. For SBLOCAs a significantly longer period of time is available, since the boiling pot mode starts later, there VERIFY PRINTED COPY AGAINST ELECTRONIC VERSION PRIOR TO USE

Engineering Manual 5.1 Enclosure 9.1 Page 52 of 52 may be a period of natural circulation, etc. However, boron concentration calculations do not exist for SBLOCAs. This determination can be made on an event-specific basis by the G. 0. Safety Analysis Section. Since the G. 0. Safety Analysis Section will be available to support Oconee Engineering and Operations following any station event, this determination will be their responsibility. The associated calculations can be performed in a short period of time and within the time available. The purpose of extending the time for making the decision to open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is to allow the RCS and RB pressures more time to equalize, or to allow the boiling pot mode to cease. Both of these situations are more likely as decay heat diminishes over time.

Step 5: Continue efforts to recover the primary boron dilution flowpath: Since there are no adverse consequences associated with the primary boron dilution flowpath, it is the preferred mitigation method.

Recovery of the use of the primary boron dilution flowpath should be a priority.

Step 6: Confirm equalization of RCS and RB pressures: During the time period available (9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br /> plus the additional hours resulting from the Step 4 analysis), evaluate the available data to determine if RCS and RB pressures have equalized. Engineering should be consulted to obtain information on the uncertainty in the process data, so that the possible adverse effect of instrument uncertainty is considered.

Since some uncertainty in the process data will exist, confirming that RCS and RB pressure have equalized will involve some degree of judgment. Management concurrence with a decision to open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is required.

Step 7: Open the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath and monitor the LPI pumps: If Steps 1-6 have been performed and opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath is still necessary, and the allowable time determined in Step 4 has expired, and management concurs, then the alternate post LOCA boron dilution flowpath is opened. For Units 2 and 3, consideration should be given to the system alignment and available operating LPI pumps. If both the "A" and "B" LPI pumps are operating, consider verifying 2,3LP-6 is closed, closing 2,3LP-19 and securing the "A" LPI pump prior to aligning the alternate boron dilution path. This will ensure core cooling will not be interrupted. The boron dilution tie in for Unit-I is slightly different from Units-2&3. The discharge of valve ILP-105 is tied directly to the emergency sump suction flange. Operators must monitor the LPI pumps for any adverse response to opening the valves. Note "C" LPI should be available if needed by opening LP-7 and LP-10. If the LPI pumps are observed to respond in an unacceptable manner, then secure all but one LPI pump.

Step 8: Report to management on the plant response to opening the alternate post-LOCA boron dilution flowpath.

3.4 Expected Plant Response No observable change in RCS conditions is expected.
