NRC, "Additional Information to Support Review of the Request for Technical Specification Changes Related to Primary Containment Isolation Instrumentation (Main Steam Line Flow-High)," dated July 19, 2004 In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) of Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units I and 2. The proposed changes revise the Main Steam Line Flow-High surveillance requirements and allowable value for Primary Containment and Control Room Emergency Ventilation isolations.

In a communication from Mr. Larry Rossbach to Mr. Thomas Roddey on July 7, 2004, the NRC requested additional information regarding these proposed changes. The attachment to this letter provides the requested information. This additional information provides the setpoint and allowable value calculation for the proposed change. These calculations were originally provided in a letter from P. R. Simpson to the NRC dated July 19, 2004 (i.e., Reference 2). This letter supercedes the information provided in Reference 2 in its entirety.

July 21, 2004 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 EGC has reviewed the information supporting a finding of no significant hazards consideration that was previously submitted to the NRC in Attachment 1 of Reference 1. The bases for concluding that the proposed TS changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration are not affected by the supplemental information provided in the attachment to this letter.

CC-AA-309-1001 ExeIon.. Revision 0 Nuclear Anal]sis No. QDC-0200-1-1369 Revision 0 Page 3 of 33 1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this calculation is to determnine Calibration Setpoints, Technical Specification Allowable Values, and Expanded Tolerances for the Unit I and 2 instrumentation that initiates closure of main steam isolation valves on high main steam line flow. Only instrument errors associated with normal operating conditions are considered. The trip signal provided by the transmitters is required in response to a Main Steam Line Break (MSLB). The location of the transmitters is projected to be a harsh environment only during the HPCI line break accident or during a LOCA. No significant heat up beyond normal conditions is expected prior to and during the time these instruments are required to function for the MSLB. This calculation addresses the specifications in GE SIL No. 438, Rev 1 (Ref 5.6).

This safety-related calculation is valid under normal operating conditions for the instruments listed below.

These instruments sense High Steam Line Flow indicative of a Main Steam Line Break and initiate a Main Steam Line Isolation when flow exceeds the trip Setpoint. These instruments also indicate differential pressure (dP) developed by the associated Main Steam Line flow venturi. However, the indication function of the instruments is not within the scope of this calculation. The instrument configuration is based on implementation of ECs 345323 and 345324 (Ref. 5.13), which install the transmitters and trip units listed below.

CC-AA-309-1001 Exelomm Revision 0 Nuclear Analysis No. QDC-0200-1-1369 Revision 0 Page 4 of 33 2.0 METHODOLOGY AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 2.1 Methodology 2.1.1 The methodology used for this calculation is that presented in NES-EIC-20.04, "Analysis of Instrument Channel Setpoint Error and Instrument Loop Accuracy" (Reference 5.2).

2.1.2 Because this is a Tech Spec loop, the Total Error (TE) is evaluated in conformance with a Level 1 Setpoint as defined in Reference 5.2, Appendix D, Graded Approach to Determination of Instrument Channel Uncertainty. As a Level I, this means that the random errors (a) to a I0 value are combined via square-root-sum-of-the-squares (SRSS), and the non-random errors (e) are added. The total error is the sum of the random errors times two and non-random errors.

TE= 2 +Ee 2.1.3 Clarifications to calculation methodology are as noted below.

A. Calculated values will be rounded to five decimal places for intermediate error calculation values and to three or less decimal places for final results, to match the calibration procedure values.

B. Radiation induced errors associated with normal environments are incorporated when provided by the manufacturer. If these error effects are not provided, they are considered to be small and capable of being adjusted out during calibration and are included within drift related errors.

C. For normal errors seismic events less than or equal to an OBE are considered to produce no permanent shift in the input/output relationship of a device. For seismic events greater than an OBE, it is assumed that affected instrumentation will be recalibrated as necessary prior to any subsequent accident, negating any permanent shift that may have occurred.

D. Per Appendix I of NES-EIC-20.04 (Ref. 5.2), the effects of radiation (eR), humidity (eH),

power supply (eV), calibration standard equipment (STD), and seismic (eS) under normal operating conditions may typically be considered negligible. For the evaluation of normal operating conditions, these errors are considered negligible unless otherwise noted.

E. For LOCA in the opposite unit, humidity levels outside the drywell are specified as 100%

(NC) or lower (Ref. 5.19.1). Appendix I of NES-EIC-20.04 (Ref. 5.2) recommends consideration of humidity effects only in a condensing environment. Therefore, since the environment is non-condensing in this situation, humidity effects are still considered negligible unless specified otherwise by the vendor.

With a LOCA in one unit, radiation levels in the opposite unit are considered to be within the "Normal" levels for that unit. Any airborne radiation concerns, in the LOCA unit, would be controlled by that unit's emergency ventilation system and thus should not impact the opposite unit. In addition, shielding between units is considered adequate to preclude any radiation streaming concerns.

F. An Allowable Value (AV) is determined in accordance with the methodology of Reference 5.2 Appendix C, as follows.

AV = SPc + Zav Where SPc = calculated trip setpoint, and Zav is the combination of those applicable uncertainties that have been determined to affect the trip setpoint. Thus, only the

CC-AA-309-1001 Revision 0 Nuclear l Analysis No. QDC-0200-1-1369 l Revision 0 l Page 5 of 33 l reference accuracy or repeatability (RA or RPT), calibration error (CAL), setting tolerance (ST), drift (DR) and if applicable, the input error (ain) are included.

The allowable value (AV) is determined in terms of units of the input signal to the first device in the instrument loop. A setting tolerance (ST) for the loop calibration is selected based on 1.0% of calibrated span. Although not used for the AV determination, the STs for individual loop components are selected based on 0.5% of calibrated span. This ensures that the overall loop ST is greater than any of the individual component STs. Per Reference 5.2, the STs are considered 3a values.

G. Expanded as-found tolerances (ET) are computed for the trip setpoint in accordance with the methodology of Reference 5.3, based on the applicable uncertainties Zav. The formula used to compute ET (for consistency with the Improved Technical Specification project) is:

ET = [0.7 * (AV - SPc - ST)] + ST, where AV = SPc + Zav ET = [0.7 * (Zav - ST)] + ST If the computed ET is found to be less than the ST, the ET is conservatively set equal to the ST value.

H. Temperature related errors are evaluated across the full range of ambient temperatures at which the device is used. The errors are based on the difference between the calibration temperature and the worst-case temperature at which the device is used. This methodology provides a conservative error evaluation by considering the full range of ambient temperature change specified for the applicable EQ zone. For instruments located in the reactor building, the calibration temperature is taken as the average within the normal temperature range (no LOCA in either unit) as defined in Reference 5.19.1, which is a realistic minimum calibration temperature. The instrument temperature error is evaluated from the calibration temperature to the maximum "elevated" normal temperature, which accounts for one unit's reactor building heating up due to loss of HVAC, due to a LOCA in the opposite unit. The temperature used is the maximum after the opposite unit LOCA. For instruments located in areas with a small ambient range, such as the control room or aux electric room, the temperature error is simply determined for a shift across the entire temperature range from one endpoint to the other, because in this case either extreme is a realistic calibration temperature.

1. The only temperature induced M&TE errors evaluated are those specified by the manufacturer for a specific model number, taken across the full range of non-LOCA normal temperatures. This is done because while one unit is in a LOCA, the other will be in the process of shutting down, so it assumed that no calibrations will be performed.

2.2 Acceptance Criteria There are no acceptance criteria for the setpoint or allowable value determination. The setpoint and allowable value are calculated in accordance with the methodology and the results are provided for use.

The expanded tolerances are determined as described above in Section 2.1.3.G and are acceptable if the result is greater than or equal to the applicable setting tolerance and does not result in a violation of an applicable limit.

CC-AA-309-1001 Revision 0 Nuclear Analysis No. QDC-0200-I-1369 Revision 0 rPage 6 of 33 l 3.0 ASSUMPTIONS / ENGINFERING JUDGMENTS 3.1 Published instrument vendor specifications are considered to be 2 sigma values unless specific information is available to indicate otherwise.

3.2 Evaluation of M&TE errors is based on the assumption that the test equipment listed in Section 4 is used. Use of test equipment less accurate than that listed will require evaluation of the effect on calculation results.

3.3 In accordance with Reference 5.9, it is assumed that the M&TE listed in Section 4 is calibrated to the required manufacturer's recommendations and within the manufacturer's required environmental conditions. As such, it is assumed that the calibration standard accuracy error of M&TE is negligible with respect to the other terms.

3.4 With a LOCA in one unit, the radiation levels in the opposite unit are considered to be within the "Normal" levels for that unit. Any airborne radiation concerns, in the LOCA unit, would be controlled by that unit's emergency ventilation system and thus should not impact the opposite unit. In addition, shielding between units is considered adequate to preclude any radiation streaming concerns.

3.5 As stated in Paragraph 4.17 of Reference 5.15 (ANSI/ASME PTC 6 Report - 1985), the overall uncertainty values of the flow elements in Table 4.10 of Reference 5.15 are acceptable for flow elements in service for less than or up to six months. It further states that the base uncertainty for flow elements in service for more than six months is likely to change much less with time than indicated for the initial six months. It is therefore assumed that any additional error due to damage or deposits on a flow element will be negligible with respect to the initial six-month uncertainty and will therefore not have a measurable impact on the overall loop uncertainty. Since the flow elements have been in service greater than six months, for conservatism, the largest Group 2 base uncertainty from Table 4.10 will be used to evaluate the overall flow element error.

3.6 As shown in Section 4.3.3, Reference 5.7.2 states a normal operating range of 40% to 50% relative humidity (RH) for the Rosemount Model 710DU trip system. As shown in Section 4.4.2, the location at which the trip system is installed is at 40% to 70% RH for normal operating conditions. Therefore, the normal RH of this zone exceeds the vendor's specified normal range. Per engineering judgment, it is reasonable to expect that no additional error will be induced on an electronic device such as the 71 ODU trip system from raising the RH from 50% to 70%. Temperature changes in this zone (the cable spreading room) are gradual, and at up to 70% RH, the RH remains low enough that condensation will not be produced.

4.2 Per Reference 5.22 (Attachment D), the stated values for Rosemount transmitter 1153 Series B Reference Accuracy, Ambient Temperature Effect, Static Pressure Effect and Power Supply Effect have a 3o confidence level.

4.3 Instrument Channel Configuration The instrument loop configuration is as designed by ECs 345323 and 345324 (Reference 5.13). It consists of a venturi flow element for each Main Steam Line that develops a differential pressure (dP) signal proportional to the square of steam flow. A transmitter senses this dP and sends an output signal to a master trip unit. When steam flow increases the dP to the setpoint, the trip unit de-energizes an auxiliary relay to initiate the PCIS Group .1Isolation Logic (UFSAR Table 7.3-1, Ref.

5.10.3). There are dP loops connected across each venturi, for each of four logic channels, for a total of 16 output contacts per unit.

Specifically, for the loop calibration, first the transmitter calibration is done with pressure input read on certified pressure M&TE, while reading mA output at the transmitter and Vdc input to the MTU on certified DMMs. Then the trip point actuation will be observed in response to increasing pressure.

input, with a setting tolerance in input pressure units. Per 2.1.3.F, as established by ECs 345323 and 345324, the setting tolerance is 4-3.0 psid (1.0% of span) for the string calibration of the trip point. For the transmitter calibration, per 2.1.3.F, the setting tolerance is established as +0.08 mA (0.5% of span).

For the MTU calibration check, the stable input current is applied and read at the trip unit on the Rosemount readout assembly and calibration unit installed in the instrument nests in panels 2201(2)-

73A (B, AA, BB). Current is increased until the trip unit actuates. Per 2.1.3.F, as established by ECs 345323 and 345324, the setting tolerance is *0.08 mA (0.5% of span) for the calibration of the trip unit alone.

Per Reference 5.11, typical surveillance intervals and late factors for the transmitter/trip unit instrument loops are as follows:

Calibration Frequency: Transmitter through trip unit loop calibration: 24 months Trip Unit Alone: 92 days Late Factor 25 % Nominal Frequency (Ref. 5.11)

Reference 5.11 will be revised to include these values for the MSL High Flow Isolation Signal.

4.6 Calibration Instrument Data - Calculation NED-J-EIC-0255, Measurement and Test Equipment (M&TE) Accuracy Calculation For Use With ComEd BWR(s), Rev. 0, Reference 5.9 (pages 66 and 86), is used to provide the errors for the calibration instruments noted herein. Since ECs 345323 and 345324 will replace the MSL High Flow switches with transmitters and trip units, the calibration procedures must be revised to include the test equipment listed here. The list provides the errors for these instruments from the above noted calculation. The list also provides the evaluation parameters used in NED-I-EIC-0255.

For convenience, the error values were simply transposed from Reference 5.9, as the impact on the total instrument loop error is insignificant.

4.6.2 Rosemount Calibration Unit and Readout Assembly (Ref. 5.7.2)

Stable Calibration Current Range: 3.5 to 20.5 mA Stability: + 5 ItA (2cr per Section 3.1)

Readout Assembly Resolution: +0.01 mA over normal temperature range of 40'F to 104'F, (2cr per Section 3.1).

Per Reference 5.23, errors associated with the calibration unit are included in the trip unit repeatability. Therefore, no additional calibration error is required for the MTU.

4.7 From Reference 5.11 the maximum limit for Reactor pressure at the steam dome is 1005 psig (- 1020 psia). For dry saturated steam at this pressure, the temperature is 546.99 IF (Reference 5.12, page A-15).

4.8 The isentropic exponent for an ideal gas is the ratio of specific heats of fluid. For dry saturated steam at 1050 psia and 550 'F the value is approximately 1.255 (Reference 5.6). According to Reference 5.12, page A-9, the value is approximately 1.257 for dry saturated steam at 1000 psia. Therefore, the isentropic exponent for dry saturated steam at 1020 psia is between these values and is approximately 1.256.

4.9 Coefficient of discharge for a venturi tube with a machined entrance cone, C = 0.995 (Ref. 5.6 p3).

Per Reference 5.12 page A-20, this value is approximately constant for fully turbulent flow.

4.10 Venturi throat inside diameter, d = 9.97 in (Reference 5.14).

4.11 Pipe inside diameter (20", sch 80 - Reference 5.8), D = 17.938 in (Reference 5.12 page B-18).

4.12 Area thermal expansion factor, Fa = 1.0092 (Reference 5.6).

4.13 Upstream specific volume (ft3 /lbm) at 1020 psia and 546.99 'F, v = 0.4362 ft3/Abm(dry, saturated steam - ASME Steam Tables - 1967).

4.14 The flow element is a BIF venturi according to Reference 5.8. The accuracy of BIF venturi tubes is

+/-0.5% flow according to vendor informnation. (Reference 5.18, Attachment B) 4.15 The Licensed Power Uprate (LPU) Rated Steam Flow is 11.713 Mlb/hr (Ref. 5.10.1). Dividing this across the four main steam lines, 100% power flow in each steam line is (11.713 Mlbthr)* (1000 klb/Mlb)/4 = 2928.25 1;Ib/hr.

4.16 The Analytical Limit (AL) for this function is 140% of LPU Rated Steam Flow (Ref. 5.10.3). Based on four main steam lines, the AL per steam line is:

AL (per steam line) = 140% (2928.25 klb/hr) = 4099.55 klb/hr

, Analysis No. 9DC-0200-1-1369 Revision 0 1 age 11 of 33 4.17 From Reference 5.15 (ASME PTC 6), the steam flow element accuracy error presented is valid only if the ratio of the dP to the inlet pressure is *0.10. The dP and inlet pressure at 100% flow are utilized to calculate the pressure ratio. Using Reference 5.6, dP at 100% flow (2928.25 klb/hr per venturi) is 111.06 psid (as calculated in Section 6.0 of this calculation). The maximum inlet pressure at 100%

flow is 1020 psia and the density (rho) is 2.293 (lb/fl3 ). The ratio of dP to inlet pressure is:

Units I & 2: Press. Ratio@100% PWR = 111.06 psi / 1020 psia = 0.109 Although the ratio slightly exceeds 0.10, the uncertainties from ASME PTC 6 (Reference 5.15) are considered a reasonable approximation of the flow element uncertainties.

4.18 As stated in Foreword to ANSI/ASME PTC 6 Report - 1985 (Ref. 5.15), the possible errors associated with steam turbine testing are expressed as uncertainty intervals which, when incorporated into this model, will yield an overall uncertainty for the test result which provides 95% coverage of the true value. Therefore, the overall uncertainty of the flow section is taken to represent a 2a value.

4.19 For the purpose of this calculation, ambient environmental conditions (pressure, temperature, or humidity) in the zone of the process pipe will have no effect on the flow element in comparison to the effects of the process flow itself, because the flow element is a steel nozzle inside the 20" process line.

The ambient pressure and humidity clearly can have no effect on the nozzle inside the process line, and the nozzle will be at the temperature of the process. No ambient zone effects for the nozzle location will be applied to the nozzle.

MRevision 0 Nuclear Analysis No. QDC-0200-1-1369 Revision 0 Page 16 of 33 6.1 FLOW ELEMENT ERRORS - Module I Classification of Module Per Section 4.3.1, Module I is a venturi, with steam flowing through it developing differential pressure at the process taps. Therefore, it is classified as an analog module.

6.1.1 Random Error (a,)

6.1.1.1 Venturi Uncertainty (UO)

The error associated with the venturi is calculated per the methodology contained in Reference 5.15, using the largest Group 2 base uncertainty value per Assumption 3.5, for a flow nozzle with throat tap without upstream flow straighteners. Per the general note in Table 4.10 of Reference 5.15, the following formula applies:.

UO (UB + U 1 S + P2+ UDSL )

Base Uncertainty (UJ)

The base uncertainty UB is taken from Table 4.10 of Reference 5.15, Item H, for steam flow through a nozzle with throat tap in an uncalibrated section, without upstream flow straighteners:

UE = 3.0 % flow Note: The base accuracy of 3%. flow is conservative and bounds the vendor reference accuracy of +/- 1.0% for FE 2-0261-1A and +/- 0.5% for the other FEs as defined in Section 4.3 for Module 1.

Minimum Upstream Strai ht Run Uncertainty (U.dsh Per Sections 4.10 & 4.11, the inner pipe diameter is 17.93 8" and the nozzle throat diameter is 9.970". This produces a beta ratio P = 9.970/17.938 = 0.556. Conservatively approximating with an upstream straight pipe run ratio of I for a 0.5 P ratio curve in Figure 4.5 of Reference 5.15, means that ULNs = 1.25% of flow.

Therefore: ULNs = 1.25% flow Beta Ratio Uncertainty (I J)

From Figure 4.6 of Reference 5.15 the beta ratio effect for an uncalibrated flow element with a beta ratio of up to 0.56 is:

Up = 0.18% of flow Minimum Downstream Straight Run Uncertainty (USA Per Sections 4.10 & 4.11, the inner pipe diameter is 17.938" and the nozzle throat diameter is 9.970". This produces a beta ratio p = 9.970"/17.938" = 0.556. Conservatively approximating with a downstream straight pipe run ratio of 0.8 for up to a 0.75 P ratio curve in Figure 4.9 of Reference 5.15, means that ULNs = 1.05% of flow.

Therefore: ULNS = 1.05% flow

CC-AA-309-1001 Revision 0 Nudear l Anal sis No. QDC-0200-I-1369 I Revision 0 l Page 17 of 33 i Nozzle Overall Uncertainty (UO)

As stated in the beginning of this section, the overall flow element uncertainty is then calculated as: (which is taken as a 2a value per Design Input 4.18)

UO = (UB + ULNS+ UI2 + UDSL2) 0.5 = 4((3 .0)2 + (1.25)2 + (0.18)2 + (1.05)2)0.5

=i3.42 % of flow [2a]

6.1.1.2 Nozzle Reference Accuracy (RAI)

The overall uncertainty is stated in terms of % of flow. This will be converted int6 terms of klb/hr and then psid, and used as the reference accuracy. The reference accuracy will be determined for the flow value corresponding to the AL value 140% of flow, because this will always be larger than the actual instrument setpoint value.

From Section 6.1.1.1, UO = +/-3.42 % of flow [2cr]

At 4099.55 1db/hr (140% flow), and dividing by 2 to get a lc value:

UO,4 = 3.42 % * (4099.55 klb/hr)/ = 70.102 klb/hr [la]

The differential pressure must be determined for flows of 4099.55 +70.102 klb/hr, which equals 4029.448 klbfhr and 4169.652 1db/hr.

dP determination Equations 1, 2, 3 and 4 below are taken from Reference 5.6, GE SIL 438, Revision 1.

From Attachment to GE SIL 438, Rev. 1: W = 1890.07*(CYd2 F,)*[(pAP)/(I - p4)]2 Eq. 1 Where: W = mass steam flow in lb/hr C = discharge coefficient = 0.995 Y = gas expansion factor (ratio)

In these iterations, all calculated values are rounded to 5 decimal places, and then the final dP is rounded to 2 places.

From Section 6.0,-the differential pressure at 140% flow (4099.55 k1b/hr) is 292.45 psid. Therefore the flow element error in terms of psid is:

At -3.42% flow: FEL = 272.79 psid -292.45 psid = -19.66 psid At +3.42% flow: FEH = 315.77 psid - 292.45 psid = 23.32 psid The greater in magnitude of these is conservatively applied in both directions as the flow element reference accuracy.

The flow element is a passive mechanical device that is not field calibrated. Therefore, CALM = 0 and STI = 0 6.1.1.4 Drift (aDI)

The flow element is a passive mechanical device that does not drift. Therefore, cDI = 0 6.1.1.5 Random Input Errors (clin)

The nozzle is the first element in each loop and therefore has no random input errors.

Therefore, alINn =0 [1a]

  • 6.1.2 Non-Random Errors (tel)

The nozzle is a passive mechanical device, a piece of steel welded inside of a pipe section. The differential pressure monitored at the taps is proportional to the square of the flow through the nozzle.

As such it is not affected by the following non-random errors:

Ambient Humidity Errors: elH = 0; Per Design Input 4.19, no ambient effects inside the pipe.

Ambient Temperature Errors: cIT = 0; per Design Input 4.19, no ambient effects inside the pipe.

Radiation Errors: elR = 0; radiation will not affect the dP developed by the nozzle.

Seismic Errors: elS = 0; seismic event will not alter the nozzle.

Static Pressure Effects: e ISP = 0; changes in static pressure are accounted for in the process error.

Ambient Pressure Errors: elP = 0; per Design Input 4.19, no ambient effects inside the pipe.

Power Supply Effects: eIV =0; no power supply 6.1.2.1 Process Error (elp)

The differential pressure at the taps of the venturi flow element for a given mass flow rate varies with the upstream steam line pressure primarily due to variation in saturated steam density with pressure. The differential pressure varies to a lesser extent with changes in expansion factor. However, the equations of flow in Section 6.0 show the process effect is inversely proportional with steam line pressure so that decreasing pressure (decreasing density) results in a conservatively higher DP for a given mass flow rate. Fluctuation in operating pressure during full power operation is restricted to below the nominal Reactor Steam Dome pressure in accordance with specification 3.4.10 of Reference 5.11. Therefore, the random effect on differential pressure that can contribute a non-conservative error is zero and the random process error is established as, elp=0 6.1.2.2 Non-Random Input Errors (e I rN)

The nozzle is the first element in the loop and so has no non-random input errors, therefore:

elin=0 6.1.2.3 Total Non-Random Error (EeI)

In accordance with Section 2.1.2, the bias errors from Section 6.1.2 through 6.1.2.2 are added.

Therefore, Eel = +elH + elT+elR+elS + elSP +elP+elV +elp+ e1 ]

Because all of these errors are zero, Eel = 0

It has an analog input operating range of 0-300 psid (Input 4.5), and an analog output range of 4-20 mA (Input 4.3.2). Therefore, it is classified as an analog module.

6.2.1 Transmitter Random Errors (cr2) 6.2.1.1 Transmitter Reference Accuracy (RA2)

By direct application of the vendor's specifications listed in Section 4.3.2:

RA2 = +/-0.25% * (Span) [3a]

= +/-0.25% * (16 mA)13 = 0.01333 mA [Ia]

6.2.1.2 Transmitter Calibration Error (CAL2)

Per Section 4.5, the transmitter is calibrated in a string with the trip unit by applying pressures of known accuracy to the input and adjusting the devices for proper output. Therefore the transmitters contribution to the calibration error is based only on the error of the MTE used to measure the transmitter input pressure, and consists of the following random components:

  • the inaccuracy of the calibration standards used to calibrate the measurement and test equipment (STD2)
  • the inaccuracy of the pressure gauge used to measure the transmitter input pressure during calibration (MTE2)

These quantities will be calculated and combined by the SRSS method.

6.2.1.2.1 Calculation of STD2 Per Section 3.3, the calibration standard accuracy error of the measurement and test equipment is negligible as noted below:

STD2 =0 6.2.1.2.2 Calculation of MTE2 MTE2 is defined as the error induced on the transmitter as a result of the inaccuracy of the pressure gauge used to measure the input signal to the device during calibration. For conservatism, the pressure gauge with the worst accuracy is used in this error determination.

From the M&TE accuracy data listed in Section 4.6.1:

MTE2=+/-1.74448psid [1a]

This is converted to mA by multiplying by the ratio of the transmitter input to output spans (CFEo). Per 4.5, the transmitter will be calibrated to operate at 0-300 psid input for a 4-20 mA output.

MTE2' = CFEO* MTE2 = (16 mAI300 psid) * (:L.74448 psid) = L0.09304 mA [la]

6.2.1.2.3 Total Calibration Error (CAL2)

The total calibration error associated with the transmitter is:

CAL2 = +/-[(STD2)2 + (MTE2') 2 ]V = 41(0)2 + (0.09304 mA) 2]A.. =+/-0.09304 mA [la]

CC-AA-309-1001 Exe o n 5Revision 0 Nuclear I Analysis No. QDC-02004I-1369 IRevision 0 1Page 22 of 33 6.2.1.3 Transmitter Setting Tolerance (ST2)

From Section 4.5 and 2.M.3.F, the setting tolerance for the string calibration to the MTU is 13.0 psid, taken as a 3a value. This is converted to mA by multiplying by the ratio of the spans, as in Step 6.2.1.2.2, and taken to a Ia value by dividing by 3:

ST2 = (+/-3.0 psid)*CFEO / 3 = (:3.0 psid)*(l6 mA /300 psid) /3 = 4 0.05333 mA[la]

6.2.1.4 Drif Error (DR2)

From the vendor's specifications listed in Section 4.3.2, the drift error for the transmitter is given below. Per Input 4.5, the surveillance interval (SI) for the device is 24 months with an additional 25% late factor. Therefore, the expected drift error converted to la is:

DR2 =d(0.2%(URL)/30 months)(SI)(1.25) [2a]

= i(0.2%(300 psid)/30 months)(24 months)(1.25) /2 = d0.30000 psid [IC1]

This is converted to mA by multiplying by the ratio of the spans, as in Step 6.2.1.2.2:

DR2' =DR2*(16 mAI300 psid)= (b0.30000 psid)*(16 mA/ 300psid)

=d0.01600mA [IcY]

6.2.1.5 Temperature Error (e2T)

From Section 4.4.1, the ambient temperature of the transmitter environment during normal operating conditions, varies from a minimum of 65 °F to a maximum of 104 IF. From the vendor's specifications listed in Section 4.3.2, the error induced on the transmitter as a result of this temperature variation converted to Ia is:

e2T =I:((0.75%(URL)+0.5%(Span))/100 O]F)( AT) [3cr]

= ((0.75%(300 psid) + 0.5%(300 psid))/100 °F)(1 04 'F - 65 'F) / 3

= 40.48750 psid (la]

This is converted to mA by multiplying by the ratio of the spans, as in Step 6.2.1.2.2:

e2T' = e2T*(16 mA/300 psid) = (+/-0.48750 psid)*(16 mA/300 psid)

= +/-0.02600 nA [ICY]

6.2.1.6 Static Pressure Error (el SP)

From Section 4.3.2, the error induced on the transmitter due to the system static pressure is composed of a zero effect and a span effect. These two values will be determined and combined algebraically. From Section 4.7, the static pressure is 1005 psig.

6.2.1.6.1 Zero Effect The static pressure zero effect is defined as the error induced on the instrument zero when the device is zeroed at atmospheric pressure but operated at line pressure. This error is given by:

ZE = (+0.5%(URL)/1000 psi)*(Static Pressure)

= (:0.5%(300 psid)/1000 psi)*(1005 psi)

=A1.50750 psid [3a]

CC-AA-309-1001 Exe 1 nn >Revision 0 Nuclear l Analysis No. QDC-0200-I-1369 l Revision 0 l Page 23 of 33 6.2.1.6.2 Span Effect The static pressure span effect is defined as the uncertainty associated with the correction factor used to compensate for the shift in output span due to the system static pressure. The upper calibration limit is used in this error determination as this will produce the most conservative error analysis result. From Section 4.3.2, the uncertainty is given by:

SE* = (+/-0.5%(Reading)/l 000 psi)*(Static Pressure)

= (+/-0.5%(300 psid)Il000 psi)*(l005 psi)

=+1.50750 psid [3a]

6.2.1.6.3 Total Static Pressure Error (e2SP)

For conservatism, the total error induced on the transmitter as a result of the system static pressure is calculated by algebraically combining the zero and span effects as determined below:

e2SP = +[ZE + SE] =d:[1.50750 psid + 1.50750 psid]

= 43.01500 psid [3(1 This is converted to mA by multiplying by the ratio of the spans, as in Step 62.1.2.2, and taken at a I a value:

e2SP' = (e2SP)*(16 mA/300 psid)/3 = (+/-3.015 psid / 3)*(16 rnAJ300 psid) d0.05360 mn [ICY]

6.2.1.7 Power Supply Error (e2V)

Per Section 4.3.2, the vendor specifies a power supply effect of <0.005% span per volt. This effect is considered negligible with respect to other errors per Section 2.1.3.D.

e2V=OmA [1a]

6.2.1.8 Radiation Error (e2R)

Per Section 4.4.1, the radiation at the transmitter location is *1.OE04 rads, which is considered a mild environment. Therefore, the radiation effect is negligible per Section 2.1.3.B & D, so:

e2R= OmA [ICY)

-6.2.1.9 Seismic Error (e2S)

Per section 2.1.3.C & D, for normal errors, seismic events less than or equal to an OBE are considered to produce no permanent shift in the input/output relationship of a device. For seismic events greater than an OBE, it is assumed that affected instrumentation will be recalibrated as necessary prior to any subsequent accident, negating any permanent shift that may have occurred. Therefore:

e2S =0 mA 6.2.1.10 Random Input Errors (a2in)

The random input error is the total random error from the flow element, which is the first module in the loop. From Section 6.1.1.6, Ecy I= 23.32 psid, [1c(]. Therefore:

o2in = EI = +/- 23.32 psid [1a]

This is converted to mrA by multiplying by the ratio of the spans, as in Step 6.2.1.2.2:

The random input error (c2in) is not included because this is based on the flow element errors, and is not part of the actual instrument channel calibration uncertainty, and so will not affect AV verification during calibration. Thus, a2AV = +[(RA2) 2 + (CAL2) 2 + (ST2) 2 + (DR2') 2]f

6.2.2 Non-Random Errors (e2) 6.2.2.1 Humidity Error (e2H)

The transmitter humidity limit is 100% RH per the vendor's specifications listed in Section 4.3.2. From Section 4.4.1 the upper humidity limit within the transmitter location during normal operating conditions is 90% RH. Therefore:

e2H =0 6.2.2.2 Ambient Pressure Error (e2AP)

Per Section 4.4.1, the normal conditions at the transmitter location have a pressure of 14.7 psia. Ambient pressure errors are not stated in the vendor's specification for the transmitter, nor would any effect be expected for this type of differential pressure transmitter, therefore:

e2AP = 0 6.2.2.3 Process Error (e2P)

This is a sealed differential pressure cell transmitter that is connected to pressure taps across the main steam line venturis. The process error is included in the non-random input error from the venturi. Therefore:

e2P = 0 6.2.2.4 Non-Random Input Errors (e2in)

The non-random input error to the transmitter is the non-random error present at the output of the flow element. From Section 6.1.2.3, Zel = 0 e2in = Eel = 0

The total non-random error for the transmitter during normal operating conditions is given by the sum of the symmetric and bias errors as demonstrated below:

Ee2 = e2H + e2AP + e2P + e2in Te2 =0+0+0+0 Ee2=0 6.2.3 Rosemount differential pressure transmitter static pressure span correction Per Rosemount Manual 4302 (Reference 5.7.1), if a differential transmitter is calibrated with the low side at ambient pressure but will be used at high line pressure, the span adjustment should be corrected to compensate for the effect of static pressure on the unit. From Design Input 4.7, the process line static pressure is approximately 1005 psig. The desired differential pressure range is 0-300 psid. For Range Code 7, the adjustment is 1.25% of input/1000 psi. Thus, Corr. factor = (1.25% input/1 000 psi)

  • 1005 psi = 1.26% of differential pressure input No zero correction is needed because there is no zero elevation or suppression, so the effect can be trimmed out after installation with the unit at operating pressure. The span adjustment is:

Convert 1.26% input span to % of output span: 1.26% * (16 mA) = 0.202 mA Add the mA correction to the ideal full scale output: 20 mA + 0.202 mA = 20.202 mA Therefore, for an operating range of 0-300 psid at a static pressure at the transmitter of 1005 psig, the adjusted calibration range at ambient pressure (0 psig) is:

Zero point: 0 psid input, 4 mA output Full span: 300 psid input, 20.202 mA output

Therefore it is classified as a bi-stable module. It has an analog input range of 4-20 mA (Input 4.3.3), corresponding to an operating range of 0-300 psid (Input 4.5) at the transmitter.

6.3.1 MTU Random Errors (a3) 6.3.1.1 MTU Repeatability (RPT3)

Per Section 4.3.3, the repeatability is *0.13% of span for temperatures between 600 F and 90'F. Per Section 4.4.2, the ambient temperature varies from 700 F to 80F. Thus:

RPT3 =+/-0.13%*(Span) [2cy]

= +/-0.13% * (16 mA)/2

= +/-0.01040 rnA [IC]

6.3.1.2 MTU Calibration Errors (CAL3)

For the quarterly surveillance, the MTU is calibrated with the Rosemount Model 710DU calibration unit. The calibration unit provides an adjustable output current to the input of the MTU for use in MTU trip setpoint verification and/or adjustment. The calibration current is displayed on the trip/calibration' current indicator located on the front panel of the calibration unit Readout Assembly. Per Section 4.6.2, the inaccuracy associated with the use of the calibration unit is included in the trip unit repeatability, so no other calibration error is required. Therefore:

CAL3 = 0 [la]

6.3.1.3 MTU Setting Tolerance (ST3)

From Section 4.5, the MTU setting tolerance is +0.08 mA, and is considered a 3a value, thus:

ST3 = 40.08 mA/3 = 10.02667 mA [IY]

6.3.1.4 Drift Error (DR3)

Drift is calculated based on a 92 day interval plus a 25% late factor. This gives a total surveillance interval (SI3) of S13 = (92 days * (1.25) = 115 days From Section 4.3.3 the drift is included in its other specifications for up to 6 months (180 days). Therefore:

DR3=*0 [=+/-]

6.3.1.5 MTU Temperature Error (e3T)

From Section 4.3.3 the temperature effect of the MTU is included in the repeatability error determination. Therefore:

e3T = 0

From Section 4.4.2, the radiation level within the MTU environment during normal operating conditions is < 1 x 1OE4 RADS TID. From Section 4.3.3, the accuracy of the MTU will remain within its stated repeatability within radiation levels. I x IOE5 RADS TID. Therefore:

e3R = 0 6.3.1.7 Seismic Error (e3S)

Per Sections 2.1.3.C & D, the seismic error is not applicable, as noted below:

e3S=0 6.3.1.8 Static Pressure Error (e3SP)

The MITU is not directly in contact with the process and is, therefore, not susceptible to errors induced as a result of process pressure variations. Therefore:

e3SP=0 6.3.1.9 Power Supply Error (e3V)

There are no power supply variation effects stated in the vendor's specifications for this device. Per Section 2.1.3.D error effects associated with power supply fluctuations are considered negligible. Therefore:

e3V = 0 6.3.1.10 Random Input Errors (a3in)

The random error present at the input to the MTU during normal operating conditions, o3in, is the random error present at the output of the transmitter and was calculated in Section 6.2.1.11 a3in = cr2 = 1.24994 mA [1a]

The random error present at the input to the MTU due to the transmitter, 03inAV, used for calculating the allowable value, was calculated in Section 6.2.1.11 as c2AV.

CC-AA-309-1001 Revision 0 Nuclear Analysis No. DC-0200-I-1369 I Revision 0 Page 28 of 33 Per Section 2.1.31.F, the applicable uncertainties used in the determination of the allowable value (AV) for the MTU alone are a combination of RA, CAL, ST, and DR, since the mA input to the MTU is generated by the trip system calibration unit. Thus, a3AV = +[(RPT3)2 + (CAL3)2 + (ST3) 2 + (DR3)2 ] '

= +/-[(O.0 1040 MA) 2 +(O mA) 2 +(0.02667 mA)2 +(0 mA)2 ]'

= 0.02863 mA [la]

For the string calibration, the applicable uncertainties used in the determination of the allowable value are a combination of RA, DR, and o3inAV, since CAL and ST are included in a3 inAV. Thus, a3AVSTRING=^ = +/-[(RPT3) 2 + (DR3) 2 + (a3inAV)2 ]

= :[(0.01040 mA) 2 + (0 MA) 2 + (0.10924 mA)21J

= t0.10973mA [la]

This is converted to psig by multiplying by the ratio of the loop input to output spans, as in step 6.2.1.2.2:

a3AVSTRINGp= (+/-0.10973 mA)*(300 psid/16 mA) =+/-2.05744 psid [la]

6.3.2 MTIJ Non-Random Errors 6.3.2.1 Humidity Error (e3H)

There are no humidity related errors described in the vendor's specifications for this device.

Per Sections 2.1.3.D and 3.6, humidity effects associated with the MTU are included in the repeatability error determination. Therefore:

e3H=0 6.3.2.2. Ambient Pressure Error (e3P)

The MTU is an electrical device and as such is not affected by ambient pressure changes.

Therefore:

e3P = 0 6.3.2.3. Process Error (e3p)

The MTU is not directly in contact with the process and is, therefore, not susceptible to errors induced by process variations. Therefore:

e3p=0 6.3.2.4 Non-Random Input Error (e3in)

The non-random error present at the input to the MTU during normal operating conditions, Ze2, is due to the transmitter and was calculated in Section 6.2.2.5:

e3in = 1e2 = 0 6.3.2.5 MTU Total Non-Random Error (Oe3)

The total bias non-random error associated with the MTU for determining the calculated setpoint is:

Ee3 =e3H+e3P+e3p+e3in=0+0+0+0

= 0 psid

CC-AA-309-1001 Exekn5 . Revision 0 Nuclear I Analysis No. QDC-0200-1-1369 I Revision 0 Page 29 of 33 l 6.4 TOTAL ERROR AND SETPOINT ANALYSIS Per Section 2.1.2, total error is: TE = 2o + le. Because the setpoint may be checked by either application of pressure at the transmitter, or by reading mA at the MTU, values are calculated in psid and converted to mA.

6.4.1 Channel Total Error at MTU Output, TE3 The channel total error for MTU actuation, using values from Sections 6.3.1.11 and 6.3.2.5:

In operating psid: TE3 = 2*a3 + Ze3 = 2*(+/-23.44252 psid) + (0 psid) = +/-46.89 psid 6.4.2 Determination of Setpoint Since a rigorous drift analysis has not been performed for these instrument loops, the setpoint must consider margin. Therefore, the calculated setpoint is determined from the Analytical Limit (AL) and the total error as follows for an increasing setpoint. Per Reference 5.2, SPc=AL-TE-MAR The required margin, per Section 8.0 of Appendix A to Reference 5.2, is 0.5% of instrument measurement span. Per Section 4.5 of this calculation, the calibrated span is 300 psid.

Therefore the required margin is computed as follows:

MAR = 0.5% (300 psid) = 1.5 psid The values of the Analytical Limit and total error terms in psid are:

AL = 292.45 psid [Section 6.0]. TE = 46.89 psid [6.4.1]

Therefore, the calculated setpoint, SPc, is:

SPc = 292.45 psid - 46.89 psid - 1.5 psid = 244.06 psid increasing SPc = 244.0 psid increasing (conservatively rounded)

This is converted to mA based on a 0-300 psid input corresponding to a 4-20 mA output, as:

SPc, ,A = (244.0 psid) * [(20 mA - 4 mA)/(300 psid - 0 psid )] + 4 mA

= (244.0 psid) * [(16 mA)/(300 psid)] + 4 mA = 17.01 mA increasing To determine the setpoint in terms of pressure input during calibration (SPccAL), with no static pressure present on the transmitter, for a 0-300 psid input corresponding to a 4-20.2 mA output:

SPCCAL = (17.01 mA - 4.00 mrA) * [(300 psid - 0 psid)/(20.2 mA - 4.00 mA)]

=240.9 psid calibration pressure increasing 6.4.3 Determination of Allowable Value Appendix C of Reference 5.2 provides the instructions for calculating an Allowable Value (AV) for an increasing setpoint as:

AV = SPc + applicable uncertainty Applicable uncertainty is a value calculated from the errors and uncertainties that have been determined to affect the trip setpoint at the time of the as-found measurement and is expressed as a 2a value, since these setpoints are considered Level 1.

From Section 6.4.2 of this calculation, the calculated setpoint, SPc, has a value as follows:

SPc = 244.0 psid increasing For the string calibration check of the setpoint, the applicable uncertainty (au) is determined as the combination of MTU repeatability (RPT3), Drift (DR3), and AV random input error (a3inAV).

CC-AA-309-1001 Exelem Sm Revision 0 Nuclear I Analysis No. QDC-0200-1-1369 I Revision 0 Page 30 of 33 auSTRING = a3AVSTRINGp = +/- 2.05744 psid [I a) [6.3.1.11]

Thus, the au is calculated as follows, in operating psid, to a 2a value:

In psid: oup (2a) = 2 * (+/- 2.05744 psid) = +/- 4.11488 psid = i 4.1 psid Therefore, the AV is calculated as: AV 5 SPc + au In process pressure: AV

  • 244.0 psid + 4.1 psid AV
  • 248.1 psid The terms included in the AV determinations above were treated in the same way as they were in the setpoint determination. Therefore, adequate margin exists between the Analytical Limit and the Allowable Value, and no check calculation is required. The string calibration AV is conservatively used for both the string calibration (in psid) and the MTU calibration check (in mA).

Converting the AV from operating dP units to mA, based on a 0-300 psid transmitter input corresponding to a 4-20 YihA trip unit input:

AV * (248.1 psid) * (16 mA /300 psid) + 4 mA = 17.23 mA To determine the AV in transmitter input pressure during calibration, with no static pressure present on the transmitter, this is converted based on a 0-300 psid transmitter input corresponding to a 4-20.2 mA transmitter output during calibration:

AV < (17.23 mA - 4 mA) * (300 psid 1 16.2 mA) = 245.0 psid 6.4.4 Determination of Expanded Tolerance (Administrative As-Found Limit)

Because the calibration check on this setpoint can be done as a loop, for the 24 month re-fuel cycle, and as the MTU only, as a quarterly check, an ET will be determined for both. First it will be determined in operating process units.

ET in psid for loop calibration Per Section 2.1.3.G, the Expanded Tolerance for the loop calibration from the transmitter through the MTU actuation is determined as follows (consistent with the method used to calculate ET for the ITS project):

ET = +/- [0.7 * (aup(2ar) - ST)] + ST (where ST is 2c)

ST2(3c) = +/- 3.0 psid [4.5]

ST2(2a) = 2*(ST2(3a)13) = 2*(+/- 3.0 psid)/3 = i 2.0 psid aup(2a) = 4.1 psid [6.4.3]

ET = +/- [0.7 * (4.1 psid - 2.0 psid)] + 2.0 psid = 3.47 psid ET = +/- 3.4 psid (conservatively rounded)

In order to evaluate the computed ET value, two comparisons are made. First the Expanded Tolerance must exceed the 3o value of the Setting Tolerance.

In psid: ET (3.4 psid) > ST (3.0 psid) PASS Secondly, the actual setpoint, plus the Expanded Tolerance, must not exceed any applicable limit. The only limit of concern here is the Allowable Value. Per Section 6.4.2, the setpoint in terms of operating dP is 244.0 psid. Pcr Scction 6.4.3, the Allowable Value is in terms of operating dP is 248.1 psid.

SPc + ET = 244.0 psid + 3.4 psid = 247.4 psid < AV (248.1 psid) PASS Therefore, the ET is acceptable as defined at a value of 3.4 psid.

E xeI nl CC-AA-309-1 001 Revision 0 Nuclear I Analysis No. QDC-0200-I-1369 l Revision 0 lT Page 31 of 33 ET in mA for MTU calibration Per Section 2.1.3.G, the Expanded Tolerance for the quarterly functional check of the MTUs is determined as follows (consistent with the method used to calculate ET for the ITS project):

ET = i [0.7 * (aum(2a)- ST)] + ST (where ST is 2a)

For the MTU calibration check, the applicable uncertainty is determined using a3AV from Section 6.3.1.11, which is based on the combination of MTU Repeatability (RPT3), Drift (DR3), Setting Tolerance (ST3) and Calibration Error (CAL3).

a3AV(la) = +0.02863 mA [la] [6.3.1.11]

Thus, the au to 2a is calculated as:

auti(2a) =2 * (3AV (la)) = 2 * (+ 0.02863 mA) = +/- 0.05726 mA From 6.3.1.3, ST3 for the MTU alone is ST3 = +/- 0.02667 mA [I a]

ST3(2a) = 2*(ST3(l a)) = 2*(+/- 0.02667 mA) = +/- 0.05334 mA ET = [0.7 * (0.05726 mA - 0.05334 mA)] + 0.05334 mA = +/- 0.05608 mA ET = 0.05 mA (conservatively rounded)

In order to evaluate the computed ET value, two comparisons are made. First the computed ET must exceed the 3a value of the Setting Tolerance.

ET (0.05 mA) < ST (0.08 mA) FAIL Therefore, per Section 2.1.3.G, the ET is set equal to the ST of _0.08 mA, so ET = +/-0.08 mA.

Secondly, the actual setpoint, plus the Expanded Tolerance, must not exceed any applicable limit. The only limit of concern here is the Allowable Value. Per Section 6.4.2, the actual setpoint is 17.01 mA. Per Section 6.4.3, the Allowable Value is 17.23 mA.

SPc + ET = 17.01 mA + 0.08 mA = 17.09 mA < AV (17.23 mA) PASS Therefore, the ET is acceptable as defined at a value of +/-0.08 mA.

ET in mA for transmitter calibration Per Section 2.1.3.G, the Expanded Tolerance for the transmitter calibration is determined as follows (consistent with the method used to calculate ET for the ITS project):

ET = i [0.7 * (aup(2a) - ST)] + ST (where ST is 2cr)

ST2(3a) = +/- 0.08 mA [4.5]

ST2(2a) = 2*(ST2(3a)/3) = 2*(+/- 0.08 mA)/3 = i 0.05333 mA For the calibration of the transmitter alone, au,,,, is conservatively based on the S2AV from 6.2.1.11, where a2AV = 4:0. 10924 mA (I a).

au,4(2a)= 2

  • a2AV = 2 * (0.10924 mA) = 0.21848 mA ET = +/- [0.7 * (0.21848 mA - 0.05333 mA)] + 0.05333 mA = +/- 0.16894 mA ET = +/- 0.16 mA (conservatively rounded)

The transmitter ET must exceed the 3ca value of the transmitter ST, from 4.5.

In mA: ET (0.16 mA) > ST (0.08 mA) PASS

7.1 Main Steam Line High Flow - Instrument Loop Setpoint Requirements:

% Rated Flow Process Differential Trip Unit (Note 1) Pressure Calibration Analytical Limit (AL) < 140 % < 292.45 psid Allowable Value (AV) <= 134 % < 248.1 psid < 17.23 mA Setpoint (SPc) 133 % 1 244.0 psid 1 17.01 mA 1 Rated Flow 100 % 111.o6 psid Note 1: Approximate % rated steam flow values for AV and SPc were calculated using the equations in Section 6.0 and are provided here for reference only.

Note 2: Section 6.1.1.1 utilized a conservative Base Uncertainty for the Flow Element that bounds the reference accuracy value of FE 2-0261-IA defined in References 5.16 and 5.17. As a result, the setpoint of the associated DPIS 2-0261-2A-I is not affected and no change is required.

Note 3: An amendment-to the Quad Cities Technical Specifications is required prior to implementation of the above setpoint requirements. Technical Specification Table 3.3.6.1-1 Item L.d and Table 3.3.7.1-1 Itemn 3 must be revised to specify the Allowable Value for Main Steam Line Flow - High as < 248.1 psid and to add a surveillance requirement for trip unit calibrations on a 92 day frequency.

Specifically, in order for the results of this calculation to remain valid, the following must be true:

7.4.1 For the channel surveillance, after calibration of the transmitter, the actuation of the trip unit must be verified by observation of MTU trip based on increasing pressure input to the transmitter, using the setting tolerance given in 7.2 above.

7.4.2 For the master trip unit surveillance, a certified digital readout assembly for the Rosemount 710DU Trip/Calibration system must be used to generate an increasing stable current and to observe the trip current, to the setting tolerance given in 7.2 above.

7.4.3 The pressure input to the transmitter must be measured with either the M&TE listed below, or other M&TE of equal or better accuracy than the worst case unit (Heise CMM - 400 psig).

  • icy Cl of C3 July 17, 2002 Mr. Jeffrey Drowley Mechanical Engineering Manager Exelon Nuclear 4300 Winfield Road Suite 300 Warrenville, IL 60555 Mr. Drowley, After phone discussions with Mr. Joseph Basak and yourself on Friday July 12'h and Saturday July 13 :h regarding the damages to the Alpha Steam line Venturi at Quad Cities IINuclear Plant, I was asked to come on site. The on-site stay was to expedite the assessment of impact on the Choke Flow requirements, the safety set point requirements and the flow measurement requirements of the BIF supplied Venturi as a result of a Dryer Part Separation.

While on site I have had discussions with several plant personnel, contractor service people and GE Team people working on this outage. I have reviewed, for several hours, movies taken of the Venturi impact areas and of pieces that were lodged in the Venturi or that passed through the Ventui. ..- a were taken with two different cameras. Much of the upstream pipe, the Venturi element itself and the area downstream on the Venturi were made visible. Most importantly the Venturi hydraulic shape was visible. Initial viewing was of the Venturi with a piece of foreign material lodged in the thr:)Ft.

i _.

movie several impact areas were visible on the surface of the elliptical approach section. In later movies we saw the same impact areas and areas further downstream of the Alpha Steam line Venturi.

We also saw movies of the Bravo Steam line Venturi. The views of both Venturi were from just above the High Pressure Piezometer through the Venturi to past the Hydraulic Shape downstream weld that supports the shape.

The impact damage area of the Alpha Steam line Venturi lies mostly within the elliptical approach section. The damage ranges from what were categorized as stains (no discernable depth) to slight scratches (0.0005" to 0.005" depth) to pits (diameters of -3/32" with depths of 0.01" to 0.02") and gouges (long lengths up to 2.5" long with depths of 0.02" to 0.10"). The dimensions shown above are estimates based on other known items within the camera view and were not physically taken.

No impact damage was discernable within the Venturi throat itself. However an unidentifiable discoloration of about 3" diameter existed around the throat piezometer hole. Although unidentifiable this does not appear to be a result of the recent damage and will not affect the performance of this Venturi.

BIF FbCozo0- 69 ecu Eni -neered Flow'Applications A tbkJ-1 c-ft C There appeared to be a few slight scratches in the recovery cone of the Venturi, which have no real impact on performance.

The Venturi Flow Equation contains several terms covering density, pressure differential, expansion factors, flow rate, throat diameter, inlet diameter and Discharge Coefficient. The throat diameter-and inlet diameters were not changed as a result of this damage. The density and expansion factors will be whatever they are as a result of the steam temperature from normal operations. The pressure differential and flow rate are related to each other via the Discharge Coefficient. The pressure differential is read with instrumentation and the flow rate calculated for that pressure differential using the Discharge Coefficient. The Discharge Coefficient, however, is what will be impacted by this damage. Both the general diversion of the normal flow-streamlines expected into the nozzle, and the increase in the frictional resistance loss between the Inlet Piezometer and the Throat Piezometer, cause this. It is important to know that the most sensitive area of the Venturi is the Throat Piezometer hole area. Sensitivity decreases as you move upstream from the throat toward the upstream edge of the hydraulic shape. Similarly, the Inlet Piezometer area would also be sensitive but not as sensitive as the Throat Piezometer-area.

It is my experience as a result of reviewing thousands of laboratory calibrations of Venturis with varying frictional characteristics and shapes that this total damage (Attachment 1) will not ca,. -*

than a 0.5% change in the uncertainty to the normal assigned discharge coefficient uncertainty level.

The damage that I view as having the greatest impact is what we are referring to as Gouge 1. While nct near the sensitive area of the throat, it is in a direct line with the Throat Piezometer hole an!> - '-L.i have the largest effect.

The impact on overall permanent pressure loss across the Venturi as a result of the damage is undetectable and should not impact plant performance.

There appears to be a minor circumferential depression at the entrance to the elliptical section. I believe that this was caused by impingement of condensate on this surface over the past thirty years of service. There appears to be no depression near the pipe wall, in the boundary layer region. Most of the depression occurs as you move beyond the boundary layer into the ellipse but still at a severe elliptical angle. As the elliptical angle relaxes, the material depression reduces back to the original shape, as it is no longer visible. This appeared in movies of the Alpha Steam line as well as the Bravo Steam line. This shows that this depression is not caused by the Dryer Incident.

My experience with Venturi at BIF, The Foxboro Company and Westfall Manufacturing cov.cs 25 years with Venturi and Flow Meters of many types, configuration and service. I worked for BIF and certified the flow calculations for this Venturi when it was originally supplied to General Electric for this plant.

-a oo2-k T- 1369 ZeU. 0 ae A 4 C3 I do have some concerns regarding accelerated erosion of the material as a result of this recent surface damage. However, in discussion with members of the GE Team, they believe that the material is sufficient and specifically chosen for its erosion resistance.

I recommend that a comparison of flow signals be performed at known power levels and any changes trended to indicate potential problems. These trends may be used to trigger a closer inspection of the impact damage area at the next scheduled outage with comparison to the pictures documented during this outage for any changes. The same people should review any visual inspection, if at all possible.

As a result of that visual examination, a disposition may then be made to either replace the Venturi, perform another visual check at the next planned outage or to skip the next planned outage and do the visual inspection within the following planned outage.

Recommendations:

The normal Discharge Coefficient uncertainty be increased by 0.5%.

During the next startup, look at the hydraulic noise level of the flow signal of the Alpha Steam line Venturi. Compare it to that of the Bravo, Charlie and Delta Steam lines. Compare it to what the experience was before the initial event that triggered this shut down. This may be used to conki crie effect on sensitivity and make appropriate setpoint changes as required.

Compare the flow readings of the most recent startup to the next startup as the unit comes up to full power, being sure that the flow rates look normal considering hydraulic noise as well.

Consider having a replacement Venturi for the Alpha Steam line available as a contingency for the next outage. Although I do not believe a replacement is necessary at this time, this Venturi wili take time to manufacture and that time would impact the length of the outage. I estimate that the expedited lead time for a replacement Venturi would be 9 to 12 weeks after Purchase Order and design release to manufacturer.

BIF was very happy to help with this outage and if we can be of any assistance in the future please do not hesitate to call.

Dear Customer:

This letter is intended to eliminate any confusion that may have arisen as a result of the reference message from Grand Gulf. The message was concerned with statistical variation associated with published performance variables and how the variation relates to the published specifications in Rosemount Nuclear Instruments, lnc.(RNII) pressure transmitter models 1152, 1153 Series B.

I 153 Series D, 1154 and I 154 Series H. Aecording to our understanding, the performance variables of primary concern are those discussed in GE Instrument Setpoint Methodology document NEDC 31336, namely I. Reference Accuracy

2. Ambient Tempcrature Effect
3. Ovcrpressure Effect
4. Static Pressure Effects
5. Power Supply Effect It is RN11's undcrstanding that GE and the NRC have accepted the methodology of using transmitter testing to insure specifications arc met as a basis for confirming specifications are

+'a. The conclusions we draw regarding spccifications being t3a are based on manufacturing testing and screening, final assembly acceptance testing, periodic (e.g. every 3 months} a:'.

testing of transmitter sampics and limited statistical analysis. Please note that all performance specifications are based on zero-based ranges under reference conditions. Finally, we wish to make clear that no inferences are made with respect to confidence levels associated wV;.i any specification.

I. Reference Accuracy.

All (100%) RNII transmitters, including models I'52, 1153 Series B, 1153 Series D, 1154 and 1154 Series H, are tested to verify accuracy to +0.25% of span at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%,

80% and 100% of span. Therefore, the reference accuracy published in our specifications is considered +3a.

2. Ambient Temperaturc Effect All (100%) amplifier boards are tested for compliance with their temperature effect specifications prior to final assembly. All sensor modules, with the exception of model 1154, are temperature compensated to assure compliance with their temperature effect specifications. All (100%) model 1154, model 1154 Series H and model 1153 gage and absolute pressure transmitters are tested following final assembly to verify compliance with specification. Additionally, a review of audit test data performed on final assemblies of r model 1152 and model 1153 transmitters not tested foll6wing final assembly indicate Q.ALMULATITOJ QOV -O2oo-I-I3(9 F SEV. o T FISHER-ROSEMOUKT ATTACH MVT D ooz  %, 4N:

conformancc to spccification. Therefore, the ambicnt temperature etfcct published in our specifications is considered +3a.

3. ()verprcssurc Effect Testing of this variable is done at thc module stage. All (100%) range 3 through 8 sensor modules are tested for compliance to specifications. We do not test range 9 or 10 modules for overpressure for safety reasons. However, design similarity permits us to conclude that statements made for ranges 3 through 8 would also apply to ranges 9 and 10. Therefore, the overpressure effect published in our specifications is considered +;3.
4. Static Prcssurc Effects All (100%) differential prcssure sensor modules are tested for compliance with static pressure zcro ..or. Additionally. Nodels 1153 and 11'4 Ran-cs 3,6.7 Znd S art 100' tcsted after Final asscmbly for added assurance of specification compliance.' Audit testing performed on ranges 4 and 5 have shown compliance to the specification. Tlierefore. static pressure effects published in our specifications arc considered +3a.
5. l'ower Supply Effect
  • Testitig ror conformance to this specification is performed on all transmitters undergoing

.saimple (audit) testing. This variable has historically exhibited extremely small performance errors and small standard deviation (essentially a mcan error of zero with a standard deviation typically lcss thlan 10% of tih specification). All transmitters tested werc found in compliance with thc spccification. 'Ilicrcflorc, powyer supply effect publishcd in our specifications is considered +3a.

  • Data June 16, 1993 Time 10:00 am subject Rosemount Model 710DU Trip/ Job No. K/A Calibration Unit Specifications File No. N/A Mr. Layer was contacted in order to clarify the specifications listed in the Rosemount Trip/Calibration System Model 710CU Operations Manual.

Clarification was required for the following:

M-aster Trip Unit (MTUI Analog Output Accuracy (Normal Conditions)

Trip Output Repeatability (Normal Conditions)

- Slave Trip Unit (STU)

Trip Output Repeatability (Normal Conditions) calibration Unit Accuracy The equation listed for the MTU Analog output Accuracy is as follows:

+/-0.15% (60- to 90-F) tO.351/l00-F According to Mr; Layer, the above equation is to be used in the following manner:

- For ambient temperatures in the range of 600 to 90SF, Analog Output Accuracy - +/-o.15%(sPAN)

- rar ambient temperatures above 90-F, Analog Output Accuracy - +/-(0.15%(SPAN) + (0.35%)(SPAN)/lO0F) (T))

Where: AT - Ambient Temperature - 9o-F

Analog Output Accuracy - +/-(0.15%(4 Vdc) + (a.35i) (4 Vdc)/l100F) (30F))

Analog output Accuracy - +/-0.0102 Vdc The trip output repeatability for both the MTU and SfU is calculated in the manner listed above. The equations are clarified below for ambient temperatures above 90*F:

MTU Trip output Repeatability (MTU1 .j):

In addit'cn, Mr. Layer stated that the trip setpoint rapeatab4.!t'V equaticns listed above include reference accuracy, temperature .

drift. The equations are accurate for 6 months. Based on calibration --

procedure DIS 1400-02, the trip units are calibrated every three vzontLs.

Hovever, Mr. Layer stated that the errors would not be reduced by calibrating more frequently than 6 zonths.

The MrU and STU trip setpoints are calibrated using the calibration unit su-plied with the Model 710DU. Hr. Layer stated that errors associated w4th the calibration unit are included in the repeatability error equations lssted above. Therefore, no additional error evaluations are required for the calibration of the HTU and STU.
