Summary of Issue

  • TVA's current ECCS logic is adequate to support operation of BFN Units 2 and 3
  • The current logic, electrical boards, and diesel generators do not support certain design basis LOCA / Loss of Offsite Power scenarios with both Units 1 and 2 operating
  • TVA's proposed modifications to the ECCS logic will satisfy current licensing basis requirements and are consistent with the current LOCA analysis Joe Valente 4

Plant Layout ECCS INJECTION FLOW PATHS AFTER AN ECCS INITIATION SIGNAL 9per gpRŽ PDA KtW a NW A Assumed analysis flow rates:

- One Core Spray loop (Two pumps) = 5600 gpm - HPCI = 4500 gpm

- One LPCI pump Inone loop = 9700 gpm - Two LPCI pumps in one loop = 18,000 gpm NOTE: Both Core Spray pumps in a loop must operate for the loop to be considered available.

Single Failure Analysis Single Failure Analysis with current ECCS logic (FSAR Table 6.5-3)

- One active failure and the Loss of Offsite Power are assumed to occur with the pipe break

- Several line break sizes and combinations of various single failures were analyzed

- The following five single failures were bounding:

o Battery o Opposite Unit False LOCA Signal (also referred to as the Spurious Accident Signal) o LPCI Injection Valve o Diesel Generator o HPCI Bill Crouch 7

ECCS Performance During a DBA In 1996, TVA implemented the SAFER / GESTR-LOCA methodology

- More realistic peak cladding temperatures

- Analysis demonstrated that less equipment is needed than that actually available SAFER / GESTR-LOCA analysis

- Revision 2 submitted as part of 5% power uprate on July 24,1998

- BFN current analysis is Revision 5 o Incorporates new GE fuel designs and types o Implements generic updates from GE o Analysis applicable to Units 1, 2 and 3 Bill Crouch 9

ECCS Performance During a DBA (Cont.)

  • Summary

- The bounding case design basis accident in terms of equipment availability is a LOCA, with the Loss of Offsite Power, and the loss of a Battery as the postulated single failure Bill Crouch 16

Questions and Answers Tim Abney 17

ECCS Performance During a DBA with a Spurious Accident Signal

  • Only one unit is in a LOCA or post-accident recovery mode at any point in time
  • During LOCA accident scenarios that assume the Loss of Offsite Power, the BFN licensing basis also postulates that a spurious accident signal could originate from one of the non-accident units

- This spurious accident signal is considered to be the postulated single failure

- No other single failures are assumed to occur

- The spurious accident signal could occur before, during or after the real signal Dave Burrell 18

ECCS Performance During a DBA with a Spurious Accident Signal (Cont.)

Current site status (Operation of Units 2 and 3)

- Fuel has been removed from the Unit 1 vessel and temporary logic modifications made during the extended shutdown to prevent a Spurious Accident Signal from being generated by Unit 1

- An accident signal in either Unit 2 or 3 starts all 8 diesel generators (DGs)

- The second unit to receive an accident signal clears that unit's 4KV shutdown boards and re-sequences the loads to the DG's. The other unit is unaffected by this 2nd signal and sequences its loads as planned.

Summary

- The BFN licensing basis requires TVA to assume that a spurious accident signal could originate from one of the non-accident units coincident with a design basis accident

- The current logic, electrical boards, and diesel generators do not support the design basis LOCA / Loss of Offsite Power and spurious accident signal scenario with both Units 1 and 2 operating

- Modifications required to correct ECCS logic design Dave Burrell 25

Questions and Answers Tim Abney 26

Proposed Modifications Revisions to Preferred Pump Logic

- Assignment of Division I ECCS loads to Unit 1 and Division 11 ECCS loads to Unit 2

- Only functions with both a LOCA and spurious accident signal in Units 1 and 2

- Logic to be modified so that it functions in a similar manner with or without offsite power

  • Deletion of redundant opposite division ECCS initiation signals

- Modifications on Units 1 and 2 will be made to support the changes to the ECCS Preferred Pump Logic Dave Burrell 27

Proposed License Amendments, Technical Specification and FSAR changes (Cont.)

The proposed revision in the number of ECCS subsystems that are available for these LOCA scenarios is consistent with and bounded by the current LOCA analysis results and conforms to 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K

- The current BFN SAFER/GESTR-LOCA analysis is conservative with respect to the current plant's actual equipment availability

- The reduction in the number of ECCS subsystems that are actually available in response to a LOCA / Loss of Offsite Power with a spurious accident signal will now be the same as the number of ECCS subsystems evaluated in the current BFN SAFER/GESTR-LOCA analysis for the bounding case (LOCA / Loss of Offsite Power and battery failure)

Joe Valente 48

Summary and Conclusion

  • The proposed revision in the number of ECCS subsystems that are available for certain LOCA scenarios

- Satisfies the current Licensing Basis

- Is consistent with and bounded by the current LOCA analysis Joe Valente 49
