RNP-lVINST-1 135 Revision I Page 4 I. PURPOSE The objective of this calculation is to dctcrmnine the instrument loop uncertainties for the Intermediate Range Nucicar Instrumcntation Systcm (NIS) High Neutron Flux Trip and Permissive P6. This calculation will provide assurance that the trip settings occur within the limits established by Technical Spccificalions.

The following instruments arc within the scope of this calculation:

Clinnnel N-3S Detector Assembly NE-35 Excore NIS Intermcdiate Range Drawer 35 N-35 Reactor Turbine Gcncrator Board (RTGB) Indication NI-35B Reactor Turbine Generator Board (RTGB) Recorder NR45 Channel N-36 Detector Assembly NE-36 Excorc NIS Intermediate Range Drawer 36 N-36 Reactor Turbine Generator Board (RTGB) Indication NI-36B Reactor Turbine Generator Board (RTGB) Recorder NR45 2.0 UNVCTIONAl. DESCRIITION Thc Intermediate Range NIS channels consist of two indepcndently operating channels designated as N-35 and N-36. Each channel receives a signal from a compensated ion gas chamber detector.

The detector is compensated to remove the cffccts of gamma radiation and Frovide a clean neutron signal. The detector's output signal is a current in the range of UP"to 10 amperes. The detector signal is then processed by the electronic modules within the Intermediate Range Drawer, which provides indication and bistable trip outputs.

2.1 NORMAL FUNCTION The primary function of the Intermediate Range NIS channels are to monitor the neutron flux and provide protection for the reactor by generating appropriate trips and alarms. These channels overlap with both the Source Range and Power Range channels. The Intermediate Range Reactor Trip serves as a backup for the Power Rangc Low Power Trip at lower power levels (* 25%). At power, the Intermediate Range can serve as a backup to Power Range for indication purposes only.

These channels also provide a Permissive (P6) fordc-energization of the source range detectors and block of thc Source Range Trip. The channels also provide a control function input to the Rod Control System (Rod Stop).

RNP-tIINST-1 135 Revision I Page 5 2.2 ACCIDENT MITWATING, V1C ON The Intcrrnediate Rangc NIS channels are not required for any Design Basis Accident scenario.

Therefore, only normal conditions will be considered by this calculation.

2.3 POST ACCIDENT MONITORING The Intcrmnediate Range NIS channels are not required for post accident monitoring. There are two separate channels, N5 1and N52. that perform this function for neutron flux indication.

2.4 POST SEISMIC The only components or the NIS that are required to function after a Design Basis Earthquake (DDE) are the post accident monitoring channels N51 and N52. The Intermediatc Range channels do not fall under this category. Seismic qualification testing was performed on the NIS process racks and detectors, which includes the Interrnediate Range channels.. Per Refcrence 4.2.2, the effect on the process racks (drawers) was negligible. Per Reterence 4.2.2, the Seismic Effect (SE) on the detectors was insignificant compared to the large accuracy value given for the detector uncertainty. Since the erfect on the equipment as the result of an Operating Basis Earthquake (ODE) arc insignificant, and the fact that the equipment is not required following a DDE, seismic considerations will not be included in this analysis.

Control Room 70"-77 F 4.52 5.1.2 Bistable outputs are digital and do not add any uncertainty value, therefore this will not be considered by this calculation.

5.1.3 Total Loop Unccrtainty for the Power Range indication is taken from Reference 4A.I.

This input is used for the Intermcdiatc Range I1igh Trip listabIc because the setpoint. as it corresponds to percent full power, is derived from the Power Range reading. The Total Loop Uncertainty for the Power Range indication is +/- 5.86% Span.

5.2 ASSUMIP'TIONS 5.2.1 Thc values used for Process Measurement Effect (PME) were obtained from Reference 4.5.4. These values are assumed to be conservative for Robinson Nuclear Plant. given that the core gcometry for UINP is larger than that of RNP. The uncertainty is assumed to include all effects concerned with the detectors. This is considered to be a random uncertainty, as it was treated that way in Reference 4.5A.

5.2.2 Reference Accuracy (RA) for analog devices consists of linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability. When these components are not called out specifically, it will be assumed that they are random. independents normnally distributed, and equal.

5.2.3 Thc indication scales for the Intermediate Range Channels are logarithmic and the final uncertainties are expressed in terms of percent span. 1The percent span uncertainties are constant across the scale, but the engineering units vary across the scale. The allowable values calculated are converted to engineering units since the uncertainty is to be applied at a single point on the scale. ,

For a logarithmic scale the following formula is used to express the percent span error at a specific point. The span or thc Intermediate Range covers 8 decades, 0l" to 103 amps E -P *log ¶Espan'D Where:

E = Error in Eng. Units P = Point of interest Espan = Error in % Span D = number ofdccades 8 ...

Conversely. the following formula will be used to express error at a specific point on a logarithmic scale to percent span error. The error in engineering units is a limit. So expressing this as a percent of ideal valuc, the following is used.

Limit =1 {iim .

The limit is then converted to percent span by the following equation.

LOG[N~

Intermcdiate Range channels N35 and N36 are not required during or after any postulated accident. Therefore, only normal conditions will be considered by this calculation.

Seismic considerations will not be included in this calculation, as described in Section 2.4.

63 INSUlATION RFSISTANCE rRROR (IR)

Intermediate Range channels N35 and N36 ar not required to function during or after any Design Basis Accident. Therefore, Insulation Resistance Error will not be considered by this calculation.

As stated in Assumption S.2.1, an all inclusive value for effects associated with the Intermediate Range.detcctors was obtaincd from the Reference 4.5.4. This value is given in percent span, which is conservatively assumed to be 0-120% rated thermal power. Therefore, PME = +/- 8.40% Span 6.5 PRIMIARY ELErME:NT rERROR (P1;,)

Primary Elemcnt Errors are not applicable to this calculation.

6.6 LOG AMPLIFIER 6.6.1 IAo) Amnlifier's Unverifiel Attril)tites of Reference Acciracy (RAum,,)

The accuracy value for the amplifier is given by Reference 42.1 as +/- 0.50% Span between 10"1 and 10W amps and +/- 1.00% Span betwecn 10W0 and 10'3 amps. For conscrvatism, this calculation will use +/- 1.00% as the accuracy value. It is assumed that this value includes the effects of linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability.

RA, +/- 1.00% Span Per Reference 4.3.3. the Log Amplifier is calibrated at 9 cardinal points, 5 up and 4 down.

Therefor, it verifies hysteresis and linearity but not repeatability. Pcr Reference 4.3.7, the following equation is utilized to compute thc repeatability portion of the Log Amplifier Reference Aaccuracy.

6.6.2 -Lae Amrilifier Cnlibration Tolerance (CAI,,,,)

Per Reference 4.3.3 the amplifier is calibrated using external test equipment and the panel metcr.

The tolerance on the calibration is +/- 0.1 Volts on a 10 Volt span. This equates to a calibration tolerance oft 1.00 % Span.

DR" = +/- 1.00% Span 6.f.4 Log Amplifier M&TE, Effect (MTr.,)

Pcr Refcrence 4.3.3. a Picoamp Source and DMM are used as thc M&TE for calibration of the Log Amplifier. Thc Picoamp Source supplies the currcnt input and the DMM mcasures the voltage output. Thc Picoamp Source used at RNP has an accuracy of+/- O.50% of scuting + 2pA on the lowest setting and +/- 0.50% of setting + IpA on the highest setting to be used. V ihe range from 10'6 to 104, the accuracy is +/- O.50% of setting + lOOpA. Pcr Reference 4.3.3, a setting of 10 3is used in this area. The MTE is then +/- 0.501% span or +/-O.50 % span. The DMM accuracy as stated in Reference 4.3.3 is +/- 0.10% Reading. Pcr Refcrence 4.3.3, the calibration is from 0 to S0 mVdc. Using a rcading at SOmVdc with a span of SOmVdc, thc MTE associated wilh the DMM is +/- 0.50% span. Thereforc, the total M&TE Effect for the Log Amplifier is given as follows.

The power supply for the Log Amlifier is a DC power supply located within the Intermcdiate Range drawer. Per reference 4.2.1, the power supply has a high level of regulation and is well within the power requirements for the amplifier.

PSE,,p = NIA 6.6.7 Log ktmplifier Total Device Uncertainty (TDIJa.,,)

Total Device Uncertainty is computed using the following equation:

TDU =,l(CAL, *+MTE )+ RA, 2+ DR, , +TE 2 TDUmp = 4(1.00 +0.51)2 + 0.582 + 1.002 + 1002

TDU.,v = i 2.15% Span Thc Intermediate Range Hligh -Lcvel Trip sclpoint is given in (he Technical Specifications (Reference 4.53) as a percent of Reactor Thermal Power (RTP). This setpoint is based on the current level of the Intermediate Range channel that corresponds to 25% RTP. This valuc is obtained via Refcrence 4.3.6 by performing a "best fit 'curve of thc current signal by comparing the current level equivalent to percent RTP reading on the Power Range Channcls at various increments. Therefore, an additional error is encounterced by using the Power Range indication to determine the setpoint value. The Power Range indication, in effcct, becomes an MTE error. The error incurred is conservative since the Power Range indication is over a 0-120% RTP range, and the Intermediate Range goes beyond this range. The Power Range indication uncertainty is :

5.86% Span per Section 5.1.3 and will be called MTE,,.

The M8ATE error for this application will be noted as MTI,. and is determined as follows:

There are two separate modules that provide the TR High Level Trip signal and the P6 Permissive. These two modules are identical and both will be considered under this section.

6.7.1 B istbhle/Relal Driver's Unverified Attrilit es or Rererence Accuracyv (RAb)

Vendor data contained in Reference 4.2.1 specifies a i 5.0 mV accuracy given in terms of repeatability. Since this device is a bistable, repeatability is the only term that will be considered for-Reference Accuracy. The input range of the device is 0.10 Vdc. so the Reference Accuracy term is given as follows:

RAbN, = (0.005 VdclO0 Vdc)

Per Reference 4.3.3 the As Found/As Left calibration tolerance for the BistablelRelay Driver is given as +/-0.25% Span (0.025 Vdc tolerance from a 0-10 Vdc span).

CAL,3 = : 0.25% Span

RNP-IIINST-1 135 Revision I Page 15 6.7.3 Blistabnle/Relay Driver Drift (Dih,.)

Vendor data given in Reference 4.2.1 states that the drift, or stability, of the Bistablc/Relay Driver is +/- 0.25% Full Scaic. This value is given as a limit of error, with no time dependency.

The bistabics are checked on a bi-weekly frequency, so this value is conservative for the Drift term.

DRt, = +/- 0.25% Span 6.7.4 llistablelRelay Driver MI&TTE: Effect (NMTSI@,)

A DMM with an accuracy of+/- 0.10% of reading is called for by calibration procedure to measure the input to the bistable. Since the span of the voltage to be adjusted is 0 to 5 Vde or 0 to 10 Vdc. this is also % Span. Since this is a bistabic output, the only M&TE requurd will be for the input signal.

MTEt. =+/-0.10%Span 6.7.5 Bistal)le/Relay Driver Temper.ttire Effect (Th,: )

Vendor data per Reference 4.2.1 gives no value for Temperature Effect on the Bistable Relay Driver. So for conservatism, the default value of +/- 0.50% Span will be used per Refcrence 4.3.7.

Therefore, TEws = +/- 0.50% Span 6.7.6 Bistable/Relay Driver Power Supply Effect APSEt):

The power supply for the DistabIe Relay Driver is a DC power supply located within the Intermediate Range drawer. Pcr reference 4.2.1. the power supply has a high level of regulation and is well within the power requirements for the bistable.

PSEt = NIA 6.7.7 Bistal)letRelay )river Total Device Uncertainty (TDUbh;a Per Reference 4.12 and Section 3.0 of this calculation the Total Device Uncertainty of the Bistable/Relay driver is used in an instrument loop with the Log Amplifier to provide the TR High Level Trip, IR Flux High Rod Stop. and Permissive P6. The value for Drift for the Log Amplifier was an assumed value. Per Reference 4.3.7, if a value for drift is assumed, it is assumed to be for that instrument loop. This bounds the bistable drift. Therefore. the BistablelRelay drive drft is excluded from the calculation of TDUbt,. Therefore, Total Device Uncertainty is computed excluding a value for the Distable/Relay Driver drift.:

6.8 _NEUTRON LEVE, METER The Neutron Level Meter is located on the front of the Intermediate Range drawers. This uncertainty will only be considered for the allowable value for the High Level Trip setpoint, since it is used as M&TE by the Channel Operability Test.

6.8.1 Neiutron level ieter's Inverifie JAttrilbites of Reference Accuracy (RAl,,,)

Vendor data contained in Reference 4.2.1 specifics a +/- 0.25% accuracy, which includes the effects of linearity, hysteresis, and repeatability. Calibration procedure (Reference 4.3.3) gives a calibration tolerance of +/- 1.00% Span. The only unverified attribute of the Reference Accuracy in the calibration process is the repeatability of the metcr. Calculation of the repeatability portion of the Reference Accuracy yields a 0.144% error. Therefore, RAw = +/- 0.14% Span 6.8.2 Netitron levc1 Meter Calibration Tolerance (CA; 1. 1)

Readability Effect (RE) is defined as one-half the smallest division on the indicator scale. The Neutron Level Meter is a logarithmic scale that does not have symmetrical divisions on the scale, but the divisions are equal in value. The Readability Effect will then be given in percent span.

This input was obtained via plant walkdown. The readability of the scale relates to one-tenth of a decade over an eight decade span. Therefore, per Reference 4.3.7 the readability is, RE,j :t 1.25% Span

7.0 TOTAL LOOP UNCERTAINTY (Tllr) 7.1 Total loop Uncertainty - lMant normal No bias errors were found during analysis of this uncertainty. Therefore, all uncertainties used in this section will be random errors.

7.1.1 Power Alove Permissive P6 Total Loop Uncer(tinty The Permissive P6 sctpoint is derived from within the Intermediatc Range Channel as an amperes neutron level and not a percentage of full power. Therefore, the only uncertainties that apply to this setpoint arc associated with the Intermediate Range Channel.

The Total Loop Uncertainty of the Pcrmissivc P6 setpoint will consider the following equipment/signals.

The Dctcctor, which measures neutron lcvel and outputs a current representing the neutron level.

The Log Amplificr, which amplifies the detector current input and outputs a voltage to be used for bistablcs and indication.

The !3istable/Relay Drivers which receive the voltage signal from the Log Amplificr and trip at a preset value.

The Total Loop Uncertainty for the Permissive P6 bistable is given as:

For this setpoint, the testable portion is the Bistable/Relay Driver. This is the As Found Tolerance as determined in Section 6.7.8.

The Log Amplifier, which amplifies the detector currenL input and outputs a voltage to-be used for bistables and indication. As discussed in Section 6.6.7, the Log Amplifier will have n additional error from the Power Range indication. This error will be applied to the M&TE of the Log Amplifier, since that is the setpoint value representing 25% RTP is read at the Log Amplifier output.

The listable/Relay Drivers which receive the voltage signal from the Log Amplifier and trip at a preset value. . . .

The Total Loop Uncertainty for the High Level Trip bistablc is given as:

TLUIILT = VPMER +TDUM1 2 +TDUb 2 TLUILT = 8.40 + 7.052 +0.6l TLUIILT =1 10.98% Span 7.1.4 Intermedliate Range lieh level Triln Alowal)ic Valie The Allowable Value of a setpoint is defined as an allowance provided to account for expected drift in the testable portion of the loop. For this setpoint, the testable portion is the Dlistable/Relay Driver.

The setpoint is tested by Reference 43.5, which uses the lest circuit within the Intermediate Range Drawer to trip the bistable and verifies the trip point with the Neutron Level Meter. This method of testing will make the meter on the front of the drawer an MTE Effect. The Allowable Value for this setpoint will be calculated the same as the As Found Tolerance, except that the mnter Total Device Uncertainty (TDUd) from Section 6.8.7 will be substituted as the M&TE (MTEiOLT):

AV =CALb,2 + EtLT2 + DRtb,2 6 AV l o%.252 + 2.012 + 0.22 AV==+/- 2.04% Span

RNP-IIINST-I 135 Revision I Page 21 In order to discuss this in percent RTP, an assumption will have to bc made. The actual IR High Level Trip sctpoint is determined in Iniermcdiate Rangc currcnt via Rerercnce 4.3.6, and the value changes. For the discussion of this setpoint a simulated value of current will be uscd to represent 25% RTP. This will have no effect on the uncertainty, as thc error is applied at each reading on a logarithmic scale and is the same percent error at each current reading. It should be noted that the conversion technique for %RTP to IR current is not exact, but as long as the samerconversion is used to detcrmine the current setpoint as is used in changing the allowable value back to %RTP, then the allowable value shown below will be correct. The assumption will be nade that 0-120%

RTP= I x 103 amps.

8.0 D)ISCUSSION oF RF.SUmlTs As shown in Section 7.1, the Total Loop Uncertainty (TLU) and Allowable Value (AV) were calculated for both the Intermediate Range J[igh Level Trip and the Pcrmissive P6.

The Permissive P6 calculated Total Loop Uncertainty was detcrmined to be +/- 8.69% Span. The Allowable Value for this setpoint was calculated to be :t 037% Span, which relates to 9.34 x 10. 1 amps for a setpoint of I x 1040 amps. The Allowable Value given in the Improved Technical Specifications is 7d 8x 1011 amps. The existing value for Technical Specification is conservative.

The IR High Level Trip calculated Total Loop Uncertainty was determined to be +/- 10.98% Span.

The Allowable Value for this setpoint was calculated to be +/-2.04% Span, which relates to 36.40%

RTP for a setpoint of 25% RTP. The Allowable Value given in the Improved Technical Specifications is 37.02% RTP. The existing value forTechnical Specifications is non-conservative.

RNP-UIN ST-1 135 Revision I Page 22 8.1 Impact on Improved Technical Specifications As discussed above in Section 8.0. thc Allowable Values provided by Technical Specifications are non-conscrvative with respect to the calculated values. A Technical Speeirication change should be submitted to adjust thc Allowable Values to those determined by this calculation.

8.2 Impaet on UFSAR There is no impact from this calculation on thc UFSAR, since the setpoints did not change and no credit is taken in the UFSAR for Intermediate Range Channels.

8.3 Impact on Desirn Masis Documents There is no impact on any Design Basis Documents by this calculation, since nothingconceming the function or trip settings change with these channels.

8.4 Impaet on Oliler Calculations There is no impact on other calculations because these values are not used in any other calculations.

.8.5 Impact on Plant Procedures Plant calibration procedure, LP-704, for the Intermediate Range High Level Trip calibration and channel operability test will require revision to include thc As Found Tolerances determined by this calculation.
