K/A # EPE 007 EK2.03 Importance Rating 3.5 3.6 Proposed Question:
PLANT CONDITIONS:
- Unit 1 is at full power.
- Power range channel N43 has been removed from service and all appropriate bistables tripped in the protection racks.
- Control and instrument power fuses have not been removed.
A loss of PY-12 occurs and the reactor trips.
Which of the following describes why the reactor tripped and the bistable status indications?
A. 2/4 OTT, however, only one OTT bistable will be lit.
B. 2/4 OPT, however, only one OPT bistable will be lit.
C. 2/4 OTT, both OTT bistables will be lit.
D. 2/4 OPT, both OPT bistables will be lit.
Proposed Answer: A. 2/4 OTT, however, only one OTT bistable will be lit.
Explanation:
A correct, Per OP-5 only OTT bistables (TC-431C OtdeltaT and TC-431D OTdeltaT Runback) are tripped for the failed NI due to the the I input. OP does not get tripped, (I is zeroed out).
PY-12 provides bistable status light indication for channel 3 and power to channel 2 bistables. When it fails, channel 3 lights go out (loss of OTT bistable status for NI43) and trips channel 2 bistables. The coincidence for a reactor trip is satisfied but only one (channel 2) OTT bistable will be lit. Note, channel 2 bistable status lights are powered from PY-11A.
B incorrect, overpower bistables are not tripped.
C incorrect, the lights for channel 3 are out.
D incorrect, overpower not tripped.

LESSON: MITIGATING CORE DAMAGE -CORE COOLING LESSON NO.: LMCDFRC Steam Space versus Liquid Space LOCA Differences Pressurizer level as an indication of inventory can be misleading if:
Obj 18,20,22
- RCS subcooling does not exist.
- A steam vent path is established from the Pzr vapor space.
A vapor space LOCA would depressurize the RCS and quickly transfer the bubble to the reactor vessel.
- Steam generated in the reactor vessel may pass through the Pzr surge line and prevent the water inventory of the Pzr from draining into the RCS loops.
- This holdup of water can result in a stable or even increasing indicated Pzr level while RCS water inventory is actually decreasing.
- Pzr level should be relied on only with hot leg or core exit subcooling present.
The parameter that helps to discriminate between a vapor space and non-vapor space LOCA is the Pzr level indication.
- A vapor space LOCA provides the steam vent path from the Pzr which will cause a depressurization in the Pzr causing an indicated level increase while water flashes to steam and out the vent path.

Lesson: Basic Electrical Theory Lesson No.: R043C10 Need to know Rotor Slip, continued
- When a motor is running unloaded, there is very little slip (typically less than one percent).
- As the motor is loaded, the rotor slows down slightly. Slip increases, and the rate at which the rotor windings are cut by the rotating magnetic field also increases. This action results in an increase in rotor voltage and current. The increase in rotor current causes an increase in the force exerted on the rotor, and motor torque increases.
- A very small drop in rotor speed produces a considerable increase in torque.
- At full load, slip is about 6 percent of the rotating magnetic field speed for a typical motor (rotor speed is approximately 6 percent less than field speed).
Locked Rotor
- Stopping of the motor rotor due to an excessive load such as the binding of a pump shaft.
- Indications of a locked rotor Instantaneous increase in pump current attempting to supply demanded torque Instantaneous decrease in pump discharge pressure Instantaneous decrease in system flow rate Instantaneous increase in motor winding temperatures Possible breaker trip ro tier 1 group 1_04.doc

- All rods are inserted At step 4, the crew is instructed to Verify Adequate Shutdown Margin.
Without taking credit for Xenon or Samarium, which of the following describes whether adequate SDM has been established?
A. Yes, adequate SDM currently exists. Current boron concentration is approximately 23 ppm more than required.
B. No, SDM is inadequate. Boron concentration must be raised 77 ppm.
C. No, SDM is inadequate. Boron concentration must be raised 257 ppm.
D. No, SDM is inadequate. Boron concentration must be raised 357 ppm.
Proposed Answer:
D. No, SDM is inadequate. Boron concentration must be raised 357 ppm.
ro tier 1 group 1_08.doc
Explanation:
A incorrect, required boron concentration is 857 ppm. It would be adequate if the value for 500F from Table R19-1T-2 was used.
B incorrect, required boron concentration is 857 ppm. It would be adequate if the value for 500ºF from Table R19-1T-2 was used and corrected by adding 100 ppm as required by attachment 9.2 of STP R-19 C incorrect, this is the answer if the 100 ppm correction is not applied.
D correct, the value from R19-1T-2 is 757 ppm. Per STP R-19, attachment 9.2, 100 ppm for conservatism is added, making required boron concentration 857 ppm.
Therefore, to meet the required SDM, boron must be raised 357 ppm.

- e. The Vital DC System for each unit is designed with three electrically independent and physically separated buses. To meet the single failure criterion, the Vital loads on any two of the three Vital buses are designed to meet the safe shutdown requirements. [1971GDC17]
- f. Each Vital primary battery charger is designed to be fed from an independent 480V Vital bus. Use of the Vital backup battery charger may result in entering an Improved Technical Specification Action Statement to LCO 3.8.4. [1971GDC17,1967GDC39]
- g. The Vital DC System nominal battery float voltage, when fed from the battery chargers, is 135V DC. Bus voltage limits range from a minimum allowable battery voltage of 112.1V DC (1.9V/cell) to a maximum equalization voltage of 139.8V DC (2.33V/cell). Utilization voltage ranges for power and control is contained in DCM T-23, Miscellaneous Electrical Devices. [Calc 235A-DC thru 235F-DC].
Note: Initial Battery Sizing calculations took credit for 60 cell and found no voltage drop concerns with battery final voltage of 114V DC (1.9VDC X 60 cells). With the new DC System Database Module (DCSDM),
battery calculations are in place to take credit for a 59 cell bank and a minimum allowable battery voltage of 112.1VDC (1.9VDC x 59 cells).
Although there are 60 cells installed, the battery sizing calculation can now allow one cell to be taken out of service (jumpered out) and still meet the design basis requirements.
- h. The Vital DC System is designed to perform its safety function under the following abnormal conditions:
- 1. Loss of the Main Generator [1971GDC17] (DCM S-63)
- 2. Loss of offsite power [1971GDC17] (DCM S-63)
- 3. Degraded offsite power [SER 9] (DCM S-63)

K/A # W/E 05 EK3.1 Importance 3.4 3.8 Proposed Question:
Why is it critical to quickly establish bleed and feed once wide range steam generator levels are less than 23%?
A. To maintain the steam generator U-tubes wet.
B. To ensure adequate ECCS flow to remove decay heat.
C. To extend the time until steam generator dryout occurs.
D. To prevent the steam generators from becoming a heat source.
Proposed Answer:
B. To ensure adequate ECCS flow to remove decay heat.
Explanation:
If Bleed and Feed is not established quickly, and RCS pressure is allowed to rise to the PORV setpoint and reach saturation, ECCS flow will be inadequate to remove decay heat and there will be a deeper and more prolonged core uncovery.
A incorrect, this is why flow is maintained to all steam generators if all are faulted (ECA-2.1)
B Correct. An early initiation of bleed and feed permits a maximum depressurization of the RCS, greater SI flowrate, and ensures effective heat removal. The further the transient is allowed to advance into Period 5 (a period when subcooling is being reduced) before bleed and feed is initiated, the smaller the initial depressurization will be. This results in lower SI flowrate, greater repressurization, and higher net inventory losses.
C incorrect, this is why the RCPs are stopped.
D Incorrect, steam generator temperature is still less than RCS temperature.

FR-H.1 Background 2.2.2 RCS Bleed and Feed Heat Removal Transient Description Bleed and feed is initiated by starting all high pressure SI pumps, verifying SI delivery, and manually opening and holding open all pressurizer PORVs. This will result in rapid RCS depressurization (Figures 2C, 3CB, 4C) as the pressurizer steam bubble and saturated liquid are quickly vented, the pressurizer fills (Figures 2D, 3D, 4D), and a large subcooled liquid flow is established through the pressurizer PORVs. The core exit fluid temperature when the pressurizer PORVs are opened will govern the degree of depressurization since the RCS pressure will decrease until saturation is reached at the hottest point in the system.
Once the saturation pressure is reached in the core, the RCS fluid will begin to heat up (Figures 2A, 3A, 4A and 2B, 3B, 4B) since initially the energy addition and volume swell due to core decay heat generation will exceed the energy and volume removal capability of the pressurizer PORVs and the SG liquid mass inventory remaining (Figures 2G, 3G, 4G). The flow of saturated liquid through the pressurizer PORVs will not remove enough volume to make up for the RCS fluid swell such that RCS pressure will continue to rise until a balance between pressurizer PORV volumetric flow rate and RCS fluid swell plus SI addition is reached. At that point, the RCS pressure will stabilize and remain relatively stable until either a change to all steam flow out the pressurizer PORVs increases the volumetric removal rate or the core partially uncovers reducing the core heat transfer and steam generation rate. The magnitude of the RCS repressurization and the pressure stabilization point will depend upon RCS fluid temperature and core decay heat level at the time bleed and feed is initiated along with pressurizer PORV flow capacity and SI delivery rates. Therefore, all pressurizer PORVs must be held open to minimize both the RCS repressurization and RCS pressure stabilization point in order that SI flow into the RCS may be maximized.
During the pressure stabilization period, all available pressurizer PORVs should be maintained open and all available high pressure SI pumps should continue to run to maximize RCS feed flow.
ro tier 1 group 1_16 rev1.doc
Even with SI flow maximized, RCS inventory will continue to decrease resulting in an eventual emptying of the reactor vessel upper head and a drain down to the hot leg elevation (Figures 2E, 3E, 4E). At that time, steam will begin to be vented out through the hot leg to the pressurizer and pressurizer level may decrease. When the PORV flow becomes a large fraction of steam, the RCS pressure will begin to decrease steadily. This pressure decrease will permit an important increase in SI flow to prevent or minimize core uncovery. As core decay heat generation continues to decrease with time and SI flow increases, the volume removal capability of the pressurizer PORVs will start to exceed the volume addition due to steam generation from core decay heat and water addition from SI. This will be accompanied by increasing net inventory in the RCS, since SI flow will now exceed PORV flow.
An early initiation of bleed and feed permits a maximum depressurization of the RCS, greater SI flowrate, and ensures effective heat removal. The further the transient is allowed to advance into Period 5 (a period when subcooling is being reduced) before bleed and feed is initiated, the smaller the initial depressurization will be. This results in lower SI flowrate, greater repressurization, and higher net inventory losses.
If bleed and feed is initiated earlier than Period 5, then SG liquid mass will still be available to remove a limited amount of energy. This liquid mass can help reduce the extent of repressurization. For plants with smaller PORV flow to power ratios, the liquid mass remaining in the SG is important to the eventual success of bleed and feed in preventing significant core uncovery.
If action is withheld until the start of Period 6, establishing bleed and feed will not prevent significant core uncovery. This is a result of the steam generation rate within the system due to boiling in the core. The volumetric generation of steam and the resultant pressurization of the RCS will fully open the PORVs and will hold them continuously open. The RCS will remain in a high pressure condition until the core uncovers enough to reduce the steam generation rate. The mass flow rate out the PORVs during Period 6 is 50-100 lbm/sec which exceeds the pumped SI capacity of ro tier 1 group 1_16 rev1.doc
about 40 lbm/sec (290 gpm) for the reference plant. The only possible means for preventing core uncovery once the transient enters into Period 6 is to restore feedwater to the steam generator secondaries (see Reference 1).

What is the establishment of one train of SI flow designed to accomplish?
A. Decrease break flow.
B. Delay the time to RWST depletion.
C. Reduce RCS pressure to allow accumulator injection.
D. Maintain one train of ECCS available for use later, if needed.

A. P-6 will energize both source ranges prematurely.
B. P-6 will require manual action to energize both source ranges.
C. P-6 will automatically energize one of the source ranges when N36 reaches the setpoint.
D. P-6 will automatically energize both of the source ranges when N36 reaches the setpoint.
Proposed Answer:
D. P-6 will automatically energize both of the source ranges when N36 reaches the setpoint.
Explanation:
A incorrect. This would be true if the coincidence was 1/2.
B incorrect. This would be true is N35 was UNDERCOMPENSATED.
C incorrect. The SR channels are not train dependent.
D correct. Due to overcompensation, N35 will decrease below the P-6 setpoint ahead of N36, however, both IR channels must be less than 5x10-11 to energize either (both) source ranges. Therefore, when N36 reaches the setpoint, both SR will energize.

Which of the following is the expected conveyor system response?
A. The transfer cart moves until it contacts SFS-50, it will then stop due to overload or winch over temperature interlock.
B. The transfer cart moves until it contacts SFS-50, it will then stop due to cable tension interlock.
C. The transfer cart will start but almost immediately stop due to cable tension interlock.
D. The transfer cart will not move due to the gate valve open interlock.
Proposed Answer:
D. The transfer cart will not move due to the gate valve open interlock.

- The crew is performing the actions of E-0, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection following SI actuation from full power.
- All systems operated as designed.
- Tave is being maintained by condenser steam dumps.
- No operator actions have been taken, except to throttle AFW for temperature control
- At the diagnosis steps in E-0, the crew fails to positively identify the cause of the SI but suspect a tube rupture has occurred.
The SFM directs the BOPCO to open the Blowdown Inside Containment isolations (FCV-760, 761, 762, 763).
The BOPCO reports that when the OPEN/AUTO/CLOSE switch for each isolation valve was taken to OPEN, the valves did not move.
Which of the following explains why the valves will not open?
A. Instrument air to containment is not restored.
B. High Radiation on RE-19 or RE-23.
C. Main Steam isolation.
D. SI not reset.
Proposed Answer:
A. Instrument air to containment is not restored.

Explanation: The IC valves close on Main Steam Isolation or loss of air. Because MSI has not occurred and the valves are closed, a loss of air must have occurred. Restoring IA to containment has not been done, so the valves will not open.
B incorrect, this isolates for the OC isolation or sample valves.

STEP DESCRIPTION TABLE FOR ECA-0.0 Step 16 STEP: Depressurize Intact SGs To (O.08) PSIG PURPOSE: To depressurize the intact steam generators BASIS:
Step 16 depressurizes the intact SGs, thereby reducing RCS temperature and pressure to reduce RCP seal leakage and minimize RCS inventory loss. The advantages to performing this action, as well as restrictions that apply during the action, are detailed in Subsection 2.3.
During SG depressurization, SG level must be maintained above the top of the SG U-tubes in at least one SG. Maintaining the U-tubes covered in at least one SG will ensure that sufficient heat transfer capability exists to remove heat from the RCS via either natural circulation or reflux boiling after the RCS saturates. Step 16a requires that SG level be in the narrow range in at least one SG before SG depressurization is initiated in Step 16b. If level is not in the narrow range in at least one SG, RNO 16a instructs the operator to maintain maximum AFW flow until narrow range level is established in one SG. When narrow range level is established, SG depressurization can be started or continued via Step 16b.
Step 16b instructs the operator to reduce SG pressures by depressurizing the intact SGs.
Depressurization should be accomplished by opening the PORVs on the intact SGs to establish a maximum steam dump rate, consistent with plant specific constraints. The step is structured assuming that the operator can open and control SG PORVs from the control room. This structure assumes that the PORVs are air-operated and have dc control power and pneumatic power (i.e., either air reservoirs or nitrogen bottles) available. Some plants may not have the capability to open the SG PORVs from the control room. These plants should evaluate their capability to accomplish this step locally via PORV handwheels. Such an evaluation should consider accessibility and communications necessary to accomplish local PORV operation.
Once depressurization is initiated, maintenance of a specified rate is not critical. The depressurization rate should be sufficiently fast to expeditiously reduce SG pressures, but not so fast that SG pressures cannot be controlled. It is important that the depressurization not reduce SG pressures in an uncontrolled manner that undershoots the pressure limit, thus permitting potential introduction of nitrogen from the accumulators into the RCS.
During SG depressurization, AFW flow may have to be increased to maintain the required SG narrow range level. Control of AFW flow will have to be performed from the control room or locally depending on plant specific design. Full AFW flow should be established to any SG in which level drops out of the narrow range.

Residual Heat Removal System Emergency Operations, Continued Hot Leg Reason for Hot Leg Recirculation:
Recirculation
- Cold leg recirculation is performed for 10-1/2 hours.
Alignment ECCS fluid enters the bottom of the reactor core, Obj 19 flows upward over the core, absorbs decay and sensible heat, leaves the reactor vessel.
- Initially, the ECCS fluid may be boiling, leaving boric acid behind as the vapor is swept away.
If the boric acid is permitted to build up on the fuel rods, increased fuel temperatures could result.
Also, since boric acid solubility is a function of fluid temperature, boric acid may start to precipitate near the bottom of the core (the coldest portion of the core).
Excessive precipitation could result in blocked flow passages, which could reduce the emergency core cooling flow to the core.
- When the ECCS is shifted to hot leg recirculation; the fluid enters the top of the reactor core, flows downward over the core, absorbs decay and sensible heat, washes plated-out boric acid off the fuel rods, washes the concentrated boric acid out of the lower part of the core, prevents flow restriction and heat transfer problems.

Which of the following ECCS equipment out of service configurations would result in entry into Technical Specification 3.0.3?
A. Train A CCP and Train B RHR pump.
B. Train A SI pump and Train B SI pump.
C. Train A CCP and Train B SI pump.
D. Train A CCP and Train A SI pump.
Proposed Answer:
B. Train A SI pump and Train B SI pump.
Explanation:
A incorrect, still have 100% flow equivalent to a single train.
B correct, per 3.5.2 bases: Due to the redundancy of trains and the diversity of subsystems, the inoperability of one component in a train does not render the ECCS incapable of performing its function. Neither does the inoperability of two different components, each in a different train, necessarily result in a loss of function for the ECCS. The intent of this Condition is to maintain a combination of equipment such that 100% of the ECCS flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE ECCS train remains available. (i.e. minimum of one OPERABLE CCP, SI, and RHR pump and applicable flow paths capable of drawing from the RWST and injecting into the RCS cold legs).
This allows increased flexibility in plant operations under circumstances when components in opposite trains are inoperable.
With one or more component(s) inoperable such that 100% of the flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE ECCS train is not available, the facility is in a condition outside the accident analysis. Therefore, LCO 3.0.3 must be immediately entered.
C incorrect, still have 100% flow equivalent to a single train.

ACTIONS A.1 With one or more trains inoperable and at least 100% of the ECCS flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE ECCS train available (capable of injection into the RCS, if actuated), the inoperable components must be returned to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time is based on an NRC reliability evaluation (Ref. 5) and is a reasonable time for repair of many ECCS components.
An ECCS train is inoperable if it is not capable of delivering design flow to the RCS. Individual components are inoperable if they are not capable of performing their safety function or supporting systems are not available.
The LCO requires the OPERABILITY of a number of independent subsystems. Due to the redundancy of trains and the diversity of subsystems, the inoperability of one component in a train does not render the ECCS incapable of performing its function. Neither does the inoperability of two different components, each in a different train, necessarily result in a loss of function for the ECCS. The intent of this Condition is to maintain a combination of equipment such that 100% of the ECCS flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE ECCS train remains available. (i.e. minimum of one OPERABLE CCP, SI, and RHR pump and applicable flow paths capable of drawing from the RWST and injecting into the RCS cold legs). This allows increased flexibility in plant operations under circumstances when components in opposite trains are inoperable.
The intent of this Condition, to maintain a combination of equipment such that 100% of the ECCS flow equivalent to a single OPERABLE ECCS train remains available, applies to both the injection mode and the recirculation mode.
An event accompanied by a loss of offsite power and the failure of an EDG can disable one ECCS train until power is restored. A reliability analysis (Ref. 5) has shown that the impact of having one full ECCS train inoperable is sufficiently small to justify continued operation for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY NUMBER OP1.DC20 DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT REVISION 13 PAGE 3 OF 7 TITLE: Sealed Components 2.2 Categories of Sealed Components 2.2.1 In general, when it is desired to assure non-operation of a component in an operational system, a CAUTION tag is normally used as directed by OP2.ID2.
For components that are important to the proper functioning of a safeguards system, a seal shall be used rather than a CAUTION tag to assure non-operation.
2.2.2 The first category of sealed components consists of the plant components which are sealed to directly or indirectly satisfy Technical Specification requirements or to maintain reactor safety. The majority of these components are sealed to satisfy surveillance requirements where manual flowpath valves, transfer switch handles or breakers must be "locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position." This category of sealed components is procedurally controlled by the K-10 series of operating procedures. For the purposes of this administrative procedure, all sealed components identified in the K-10 series of the plant operating procedure manual shall be considered CATEGORY 1 SEALED COMPONENTS.
2.2.3 A second broad category of sealed components consists of those components which have been selected to be sealed in position for reasons other than those discussed in Step 2.2.2. These components are sealed to indicate that, for some reason, the position of the sealed component requires administrative controls more stringent than those imposed on unsealed plant components. Typically, these components are identified as being sealed on OVID drawings. For the purpose of this procedure, these components shall be classified as CATEGORY 2 SEALED COMPONENTS.
2.2.4 A third category of sealed components consists of controlled flow balancing throttle valves. The seals on these valves are controlled by Engineering procedures as described in Section Error! Reference source not found..
- 3. RESPONSIBILITIES{ TC "RESPONSIBILITIES" \F C \L "1" }
3.1 The operations manager is responsible for ensuring that all plant operators are trained in the requirements of this procedure, and that the associated operating procedures and OVID drawings are in compliance with this procedure.
3.2 The manager of the appropriate engineering group is responsible for ensuring the controlled flow balancing throttle valves are sealed in accordance with the following procedures:
3.2.1 STP V-14 and V-15 for ECCS flow balancing throttle valves (NSSS Systems).
3.2.2 STP V-13A for CCW to CFCU flow balancing throttle valves (BOP Systems).
3.2.3 STP M-54 for RCP Seal Injection throttle valves (NSSS Systems).

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY NUMBER OP1.DC20 DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT REVISION 13 PAGE 5 OF 7 TITLE: Sealed Components 4.1.6 This procedure applies to a variety of components having a number of different operating mechanisms (e.g., handles, levers, handwheels, chain drives, etc.).
With the exception of throttled valves, an acceptable seal configuration is one that is both visible and physically impedes operation such that a broken seal will result when other than minor movement of the operating mechanism has occurred.
NOTE: Minor movement is defined as movement that will not change the process being controlled by the component.
Throttled valves should be sealed such that minor handwheel movement will break the seal. If a valve cannot be so sealed, it shall be:
- a. Sealed as well as possible, and
- b. The valve shall be plainly marked as being a sealed valve with the desired valve sealed position indicated.
4.1.7 Seals should be installed so that only a single seal is needed to impede component operation. When the size or configuration of the component is such that a single seal cannot effectively impede its operation, a chain, cable, wire, or other appropriate means may be used in conjunction with a seal. Usually this involves:
- a. Chaining the handwheel to the bonnet for valves
- b. Using a seal or other equivalent means to join the ends of the chain 4.1.8 Supplies of unused seals must be controlled. It is acceptable to maintain supplies of new seals in the areas such as the control room, operations watch office, auxiliary building control board, and intake auxiliary operator's office.
It is unacceptable to store new seals in the plant areas near where they are used.
4.1.9 Discarded broken component seals shall be properly disposed of in appropriate waste containers, at no time shall used or discarded seals be left on plant equipment or on equipment area floors.
4.2 Category 1 Sealed Components{ TC "Category 1 Sealed Components" \f C \l "2" }
4.2.1 All category 1 sealed components shall be identified in the form of a sealed component checklist in the K-10 series of the operating procedures.
4.2.2 Prior to changing plant operating modes, the shift foreman shall verify that all sealed component checklists required to be complete for that mode are current and complete, per OP L-O.
01136013x.DOC 01B 0119.0137
PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY NUMBER OP1.DC20 DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT REVISION 13 PAGE 6 OF 7 TITLE: Sealed Components 4.2.3 To ensure sealed component checklists are current for mode transitions, the administrative controls required for sealed components shall be complied with following issuance of the sealed component checklist for completion.
Attachment Error! Reference source not found. provides a sheet which may be filed in the SFM sealed components binder in the associated checklist tab to signify that the checklist controls are in effect. For example, if a sealed component checklist is in progress and a component on the checklist must be repositioned for a clearance, a sealed component change form (see Step Error!
Reference source not found.) is to be issued to track that the sealed component is out of position.
4.2.4 All category 1 sealed components should be sealed with RED plastic seals, except for the following:
- a. When a component must be sealed in a position other than the normal sealed component checklist position. In this case, the component shall be sealed with a GREEN seal or lockwire, such that the abnormal position is evident until restored to its normal position by the procedure. Installation and removal of the GREEN seal or lockwire shall be controlled in a procedure, as well as restoration of the red seals if the K-10 checklist is in effect.
- b. Engineering controlled throttled component may use yellow seals.
- c. If, for some reason, red plastic seals are temporarily unavailable, any sealing device may be substituted providing it must be physically broken to open the seal and cannot be re-used.
- 1. Substitute seals, if used, must be documented in the remarks section of the sealed component checklist and shall be replaced with the appropriate red plastic seal as soon as possible.
- 2. An AT OPPR type action request shall be initiated on any checklist where substitute seals are utilized. This action request shall remain open until the seals are replaced with the appropriate plastic seals.
4.2.5 Category 1 seals may be broken during plant modes when the associated sealed component checklist is required to be current only when authorization by the appropriate shift foreman is received.
- a. This authorization may consist of an approved sealed component change form or a plant procedure authorized by the shift foreman which clearly indicates that component seals are to be broken.
- b. In cases of emergencies, the shift foreman may issue a verbal authorization to allow an immediate repositioning of the sealed component. This is acceptable providing the required forms and verifications are performed as soon as possible following the actual seal removal and component repositioning.

BASES APPLICABLE 5. Source Range Neutron Flux (continued)
SAFETY Above the P-6 setpoint, the NIS source range neutron flux trip may ANALYSES, LCO, be manually blocked and the high voltage to the detectors may be and de-energized. Below the P-6 setpoint, the source range neutron APPLICABILITY flux trip is automatically reinstated and the high voltage to the detectors is automatically energized. In MODES 3, 4, and 5 with the reactor shut down, but with the Rod Control System capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods not fully inserted, the Source Range Neutron Flux trip Function must also be OPERABLE (1-out-of-2 coincidence) to provide core protection against a rod withdrawal accident. If the Rod Control System is not capable of rod withdrawal, the source range detectors are not required to trip the reactor. However, their monitoring Function must be OPERABLE to monitor core neutron levels and provide indication of reactivity changes that may occur as a result of events like an uncontrolled boron dilution. The requirements for the NIS source range detectors in MODE 6 are addressed in LCO 3.9.3, "Nuclear Instrumentation."
- 6. Overtemperature T The Overtemperature T trip Function is provided to ensure that the design limit DNBR is met. This trip Function also limits the range over which the Overpower T trip Function must provide protection and it protects against vessel exit bulk boiling and ensures that the exit quality is within the limits defined by the DNBR correlation. The inputs to the Overtemperature T trip include pressure, coolant temperature, axial power distribution, and reactor power as indicated by loop T assuming full reactor coolant flow. Protection from violating the DNBR limit is assured for those transients that are slow with respect to delays from the core to the measurement system. The Overtemperature T trip Function uses each loop's T as a measure of reactor power and is compared with a setpoint that is automatically varied with the following parameters:
- reactor coolant average temperaturethe Trip Setpoint is varied to correct for changes in coolant density and specific heat capacity with changes in coolant temperature;
- pressurizer pressurethe Trip Setpoint is varied to correct for changes in system pressure; and
- axial power distributionf(I), the Trip Setpoint is varied to account for imbalances in the axial power distribution as detected by the NIS upper and lower power range detectors.
(continued)
BASES APPLICABLE 6. Overtemperature T (continued)
SAFETY If axial peaks are greater than the design limit, as indicated by ANALYSES, LCO, the difference between the upper and lower NIS power range and detectors, the Trip Setpoint is reduced in accordance with Note APPLICABILITY 1 of Table 3.3.1-1.
Dynamic compensation is included for system piping delays from the core to the temperature measurement system.
T0, as used in the overtemperature and overpower T trips, represents the 100 percent RTP value of T as measured for each loop. For the initial startup of a refueled core, T0 is initially assumed to be the same as the measured T value from the previous cycle until T is once again measured at full power.
Accurate determination of the loop specific T values are made quarterly when performing the incore/excore recalibration at steady-state conditions (i.e., power distribution conditions not affected by xenon or other transient conditions). The indicated T variation between loops is due to the difference between hot leg temperatures and hot leg temperature measurement biases. The hot leg temperature variance between loops is primarily caused by asymmetrical flow in the upper plenum, and the difference in hot leg temperature measurement biases primarily caused by differences in hot leg temperature streaming error between loops.
The loop Ts change with burn up which result from the change in the hot leg streaming biases as the radial power distribution changes.
The Overtemperature T trip Function is calculated for each loop as described in Note 1 of Table 3.3.1-1. Trip occurs if Overtemperature T is indicated in two loops. The pressure and temperature signals are used for other control functions; thus the actuation logic must be able to withstand an input failure to the (continued)
BASES APPLICABLE 6. Overtemperature T (continued)
SAFETY control system, which may then require the protection function ANALYSES, LCO, actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the and protection function actuation. Note that this Function also provides APPLICABILITY a signal to generate a turbine runback prior to reaching the Trip Setpoint. A turbine runback will reduce turbine power and reactor power. A reduction in power will normally alleviate the Overtemperature T condition and may prevent a reactor trip.
The LCO requires all four channels of the Overtemperature T trip Function to be OPERABLE . Note that the Overtemperature T Function receives input from channels shared with other RTS Functions.
Failures that affect multiple Functions require entry into the Conditions applicable to all affected Functions. In MODE 1 or 2, the Overtemperature T trip must be OPERABLE to prevent DNB (2-out-of-4 coincidence). In MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6, this trip Function does not have to be OPERABLE because the reactor is not operating and there is insufficient heat production to be concerned about DNB.
- 7. Overpower T The Overpower T trip Function ensures that protection is provided to ensure the integrity of the fuel (i.e., no fuel pellet melting and less than 1% cladding strain) under all possible overpower conditions for Condition I and II events (Ref. 12). This trip Function also limits the required range of the Overtemperature T trip Function and provides a backup to the Power Range Neutron FluxHigh Setpoint trip. The Overpower T trip Function ensures that the allowable heat generation rate (kW/ft) of the fuel is not exceeded. The Overpower T trip also provides protection to mitigate the consequences of small steamline breaks, as reported in WCAP-9226, Ref. 16, and steamline breaks with coincident control rod withdrawal (Ref. 3). It uses the T of each loop as a measure of reactor power with a setpoint that is automatically varied with the following parameters:
- reactor coolant average temperaturethe Trip Setpoint is varied to correct for changes in coolant density and specific heat capacity with changes in coolant temperature; and
- rate of change of reactor coolant average temperature including dynamic compensation for the delays between the core and the temperature measurement system.

BASES APPLICABLE 7. Overpower T (continued)
SAFETY ANALYSES, LCO, T0 , as used in the overtemperature and overpower T trips, and represents the 100 percent RTP value of T as measured for each APPLICABILITY loop. For the initial startup of a refueled core, T0 is initially assumed to be the same as the measured T value from the previous cycle until T is once again measured at full power.
Accurate determination of the loop specific T values are made quarterly when performing the incore/excore recalibration at steady-state conditions (i.e., power distribution conditions not affected by xenon or other transient conditions). The indicated T variation between loops is due to the difference between hot leg temperatures and hot leg temperature measurement biases. The hot leg temperature variance between loops is primarily caused by asymmetrical flow in the upper plenum, and the difference in hot leg temperature measurement biases is primarily caused by differences in hot leg temperature streaming error between loops.
The loop Ts change with burn up which result from the change in the hot leg streaming biases as the radial power distribution changes.
The Overpower T trip Function is calculated for each loop as per Note 2 of Table 3.3.1-1. Trip occurs if Overpower T is indicated in two loops. The temperature signals are used for other control functions; thus, the actuation logic must be able to withstand an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation and a single failure in the remaining channels providing the protection function actuation. Note that this Function also provides a signal to generate a turbine runback prior to reaching the trip setpoint. A turbine runback will reduce turbine power and reactor power. A reduction in power will normally alleviate the Overpower T condition and may prevent a reactor trip.

Note that the Overpower T trip Function receives input channels shared with other RTS Functions. Failures that affect multiple Functions require entry into the Conditions applicable to all affected Functions.

SAFETY rates and overheating of the fuel. In MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6, this trip ANALYSES, LCO, Function does not have to be OPERABLE because the reactor is and not operating and there is insufficient heat production to be APPLICABILITY concerned about fuel overheating and fuel damage.
- 8. Pressurizer Pressure The same sensors provide input to the Pressurizer PressureHigh and Low trips and the Overtemperature T trip. The Pressurizer Pressure channels are also used to provide input to the Pressurizer Pressure Control System; thus, the actuation logic must be able to withstand an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the protection function actuation.
- a. Pressurizer PressureLow The Pressurizer PressureLow trip Function ensures that protection is provided against violating the DNBR limit due to low pressure.
The LCO requires four channels of Pressurizer Pressure Low to be OPERABLE (2-out-of-4 coincidence).
In MODE 1, when DNB is a major concern, the Pressurizer PressureLow trip must be OPERABLE. This trip Function is automatically enabled on increasing power by the P-7 Low Pressure Permissive interlock (NIS power range P-10 or turbine impulse pressure greater than approximately 10% of full power equivalent (P-13)). On decreasing power, this trip Function is automatically blocked below P-7. Below the P-7 setpoint, there is insufficient heat production to be concerned about DNB.
- b. Pressurizer PressureHigh The Pressurizer PressureHigh trip Function ensures that protection is provided against overpressurizing the RCS. This trip Function operates in conjunction with the pressurizer relief and safety valves to prevent RCS overpressure conditions.
The LCO requires four channels of the Pressurizer Pressure High to be OPERABLE (2-out-of-4 coincidence).
The Pressurizer PressureHigh LSSS is selected to be below the pressurizer safety valve actuation pressure and above the power operated relief valve (PORV) setting. This setting

Steam Dump System Major DCPP Events, Continued LER 323- On September 14, 2000, operators were preparing for the Diablo Canyon Unit 000914 2 plant startup following a mode 3 forced outage. In order to place the 40 Obj 32 percent condenser steam dumps in service, the potentiometer (POT) setting for the steam dump controller HC-507 was required to be set at 1,005 psig (8.38 turns). With the controller in manual, the POT setting was peer-checked following adjustment by the control operator. After HC-507 was placed in automatic, the 40 percent steam dumps opened with a subsequent secondary pressure and reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure and temperature transient.
The transient was terminated quickly after HC-507 was taken back to manual and the steam dumps were closed. During the transient, steam header pressure dropped to 924 psig and the rate sensitive low steam line pressure safety injection (SI) setpoint reached 797 psig (600 psig setpoint). Two additional licensed individuals observed the HC-507 POT setting following the transient and believed it to have been set correctly.
The control room contacted technical maintenance (TM) personnel and requested HC-507 troubleshooting. Prior to the start of controller troubleshooting on the following shift, the relieved control operator decided that the HC-507 POT setting warranted another look; this time using a magnifying glass to enhance viewing of the small numbering. Operators determined that the POT setting had been set to 6.38 turns instead of the required 8.38 turns C2B.DOC 4-7 REV. 11
Integrated Operations Normal Operations, Continued Control Refer to OIM figures C-2-3, 4 & 5 for normal control system alignment of the system Steam Dump system.

Control mode The Steam Pressure mode of Steam Dump control is normally used when Obj 17 reactor power is less than approximately 10%. This includes plant cooldown and stabilizing temperature on heatup.
Group 1 and group 2 Steam Dump valves only are affected in Steam Pressure mode.
In automatic pressure sensed by PT-507 is compared to the setpoint selected on the Steam Pressure controller. This is normal set at 1005 psig at Hot Standby and above. The set point could be varied below Hot Standby to control heatup/cooldown. However, the preferred method for cooldown is to place HC-507 in manual and use the up/down pushbuttons (direct control of controller output) to adjust valve position for a more constant cooldown/heatup rate[TRP2].
Steam Pressure mode is selected by the Mode Selector switch 43/SDI on CC-

- Main condenser available C-9.
- Bypass switch not in OFF/RESET.
- Tavg not less than 543°F P-12. P-12 can be bypassed for control of group 1 valves only.

STG C-8B Comment:
Section 2.3 Main Feed Pump Control Overview MFP P The main feed pumps (MFPs) are operated according to the programmed P considerations from steam pressure and feed pressure. The P program is a function of total steam flow. The discharge pressure required to feed water into the S/Gs is a function of the following factors:
- The feedwater pump must raise the pressure of the water entering its suction to value that is at least as high as S/G pressure. Steam pressure drops with plant load so pump discharge pressure will drop as well.
- Feed pump pressure must also overcome the pressure due to the elevation difference from pump to feed ring.
- As a result of flow, there is a throttling (head) loss across the partially open feedwater control valve. The pressure drop will rise as the flow through the valve increases.
- As a result of fluid flow, there are frictional (head) losses through all the various piping and components from the feedwater system to the S/Gs.
- The P program allows main feedwater reg valve position to remain within the middle band of the total valve stroke over the entire range of turbine load.
An advantage to this is a linear relationship between % of valve opening and % of total flow through the valve (improved throttling characteristics).
Another advantage is reduced erosion of valve internals and thereby improved reliability.

K/A # 059 K3.04 Importance 3.6 3.8 Proposed Question:
Unit 1 is at 75% power when MFP 1-1 trips. The plant operates as designed.
Which of the following describes the initial RCS temperature and pressurizer level response?
A. Power mismatch causes RCS temperature to decrease, which causes pressurizer level to decrease.
B. Power mismatch causes RCS temperature to increase, which causes pressurizer level to increase.
C. Program response of steam dumps and control rods causes both RCS temperature and pressurizer level to decrease.
D. Rod insertion causes RCS temperature to decrease while charging mismatch causes pressurizer level to increase.
Proposed Answer:
B. Power mismatch causes RCS temperature to increase, which causes pressurizer level to increase.
Explanation:
small load rejection resembles a normal ramp when looking at only the end points of the transient. During the transient, however, TAVG will rise several degrees above normal, prior to stabilizing at its final value. Pressurizer level will initially rise, from a beginning value of 42%, and then decrease to a final value of 35%. An accompanying change in pressurizer pressure will also occur.
A incorrect, the power mismatch is primary greater than secondary, the RCS will heat up.
B correct, the primary to secondary mismatch will cause an initial heat up and swell on the primary side.
C incorrect, the control systems will eventually take over but not initially.
D incorrect, RCS temperature increases.

TH18T PAGE 25, 26 3.1 PLANT RESPONSES TO SPECIFIC TRANSIENTS Data for the transients analyzed in this section is listed in Section 1.1 and Section 1.2 of this chapter.
Only the middle of cycle (MOC) transients are evaluated. In instances where the BOC or EOC transients are more significant, supportive descriptions are provided.
Partial Load Rejection with Rods in Automatic The most common type of load rejection is one in which the Main Generator output breakers open (termed a Full Load Rejection). This results in electrical load being reduced to about 5% of full load, and reactor power stabilizing near 30% by dumping steam through the steam dumps. For this analysis, only a partial load rejection is considered. This simplifies the analysis and provides a range of values compatible with both automatic and manual modes of rod control.
During a partial load rejection, control rods insert automatically, at a speed of 72 steps per minute, due to the mismatch between the rate of change of turbine load and reactor power. Once this rate of change dissipates, the rods continue to insert due to TAVG being greater than its programmed value (TREF). The steam dumps open, during the transient, to simulate the turbine load being lost. As TAVG approaches TREF, the steam dumps start throttling closed. For this analysis, no steam dump actuation is assumed. But, since TAVG returns to TREF, due to rod motion, no steam dump actuation is actually required In fact, this small load rejection resembles a normal ramp when looking at only the end points of the transient. During the transient, however, TAVG will rise several degrees above normal, prior to stabilizing at its final value. Pressurizer level will initially rise, from a beginning value of 42%, and then decrease to a final value of 35%. An accompanying change in pressurizer pressure will also occur. On the secondary side, TSAT will increase about 10°F, and steam generator pressure will increase about 50 psid ro tier 2 group 1_45 rev1.doc
INPO Licensed Operator Exam Bank - PWR Questions ID: 24632 The following plant conditions exist:
- The plant is operating at 80% power.
- B steam generator feed pump (SGFP) trips.
What is the expected response of the RCS?
Ans Turbine setback causes power mismatch that causes control rods to insert; RCS temperature rise causes an initial PZR level swell before returning to program level.
D1 Turbine setback causes power mismatch that cools RCS thus PZR level initially shrinks before returning to program level.
D2 Turbine setback causes power mismatch that causes control rods to insert; RCS temperature rise causes an initial PZR level shrink before returning to program level.
D3 Turbine setback causes power mismatch that causes control rods to insert. No pressurizer level change observable due to action of steam dumps and rod insertion.

- 5. PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 5.1 Paralleling the diesel to Startup power defeats both 2nd level UV relays. Refer to Tech Spec 3.3.5.
5.2 If the D/G is paralleled to the auxiliary transformer and the main unit trips, the aux bus feeder breaker will automatically open and the D/G will carry the bus load.
Verify that the bus feeder breaker opened and place the D/G MODE SEL switch into AUTO.
5.3 If the D/G is paralleled to startup power and a loss of offsite power occurs, the startup feeder breaker will not automatically open. The D/G will attempt to supply power to loads connected to the grid. Open the startup feeder breaker or verify the D/G breaker tripped. Place the D/G MODE SEL switch into AUTO if the feeder breaker was opened.
5.4 When paralleling a D/G to any off site power source or the D/G MODE SEL switch is in MANUAL and the D/G is not running, declare the D/G inoperable. In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, perform the actions required for Tech Spec 3.8.1. In MODES 5, 6, and irradiated fuel movement, perform the actions required for Tech Spec 3.8.2.
5.5 The D/G should not be operated for an extended period of time below 0.65 MW.
5.5.1 If a D/G is operated < 0.65 MW for < one hour, no action is necessary.

NOTE: Operation of D/G < 0.65 MW for an extended period of time can expose the engine to undesirable conditions which may be detrimental to engine performance and component life.
5.5 Do not operate the D/G below rated speed with the field energized. Excessive field currents and rotor temperatures may occur.
5.6 When paralleling a D/G, pick up load (0.50 MW) as soon as possible (< 15 seconds) after the breaker is closed. This will prevent the D/G breaker from tripping on directional power (DIR PWR).
5.7 There should be fuel oil in the priming tank. If there is not, the priming tank should be filled using the magnetic pump. Document problem in an AR.

Diesel Generator System Normal Operations, Continued Normal Operations, Continued Diesel load The tables below list how diesel parameters are controlled when the diesel generator control is operating isolated, and when it is operating paralleled:
Obj 33 If the D/G is carrying the 4 kV bus by itself (i.e., if D/G is not paralleled):
Parameter Control Control Mode ISOC Frequency Controlled to maintain 60 hertz Voltage Raised or lowered by the D/G Voltage Control Switch MW Determined by bus loading MVAR Determined by bus loading If the D/G is paralleled to the bus (i.e., sharing load):
Parameter Control Control Mode DROOP Frequency Determined by Aux. or Startup power (i.e., 60 Hz).
Voltage Determined by Aux. or Startup power.
MW Determined by torque applied to the generator by the diesel engine; raised or lowered by the D/G Speed Control switch.
MVAR Determined by diesel generator excitation; raised or lowered by the D/G Voltage Control switch.
Shifting control For normal steady-state diesel generator operation, the diesel will always be in:
- Droop control when paralleled, or
- ISOC control when operating isolated.
However, for certain lineup changes, diesel generator control may momentarily be in the opposite configuration. Examples:
- When shifting a diesel from paralleled to isolated operation in OP J-6B:IV:
the diesel is initially in Droop control, the Aux. feeder breaker or Startup feeder breaker is opened, placing the entire bus load on the diesel, the diesel is placed in AUTO (i.e., shifted from Droop to ISOC control).
- When shifting diesel from isolated operation to paralleled operation in STP M-15, the diesel is shifted to MANUAL (i.e., Droop) prior to paralleling.
- When diesel is isolated in Droop control, frequency drop could occur:[WKD21]
If bus frequency lowers, the speed of all the pumps on the bus lowers If pump speed lowers, pump flow rate lowers (for example, if bus frequency lowers, RHR flow rate would lower)
Operator should immediately check frequency when shifting control modes.

1 S-1207 Points: 1.00 Short Answer Steam line Rad monitor RM-73 was reading 1000 cpm with reactor power at 100%. During the rampdown, to take the unit off-line, the reactor tripped. RM-73 is now reading normal background (equal to other steam line Rad Monitors). Why did the reading decrease after the reactor trip?
Answer:
Prior to trip the rad monitor was detecting N-16 gamma from reactor coolant in-leakage. After reactor trip there is effectively no production of N-16 (to decay or be dectected by steam line Rad Monitors.

Integrated Operations Industry Events SOE-93-001 Palo Verde 2 (March 14, 1993)
Event A S/G tube ruptured causing a leak of approximately 240 gpm. Plant operators used the emergency operating procedures to diagnose and mitigate the event but twice failed to diagnose a tube rupture. The radiation monitors that would have led to that diagnosis were not in an alarm status when the applicable step in the procedure was reached. As a consequence, the operators did not isolate the affected S/G until almost 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> after the rupture occurred.
Discussion The Main Steam Line Monitors are sensitive to N16 gamma radiation which decays off quickly after shutdown. By the time the procedure called for monitoring these instruments, the readings were down to near normal, inferring no S/G tube rupture.
Corrective Action The equivalent monitors RM-71 through 74 are recorded on the PPC recorders on VB-2 to identify trends or spikes that might not have been seen during the initial phases of the event.
SGTR Rapid Identification Blowdown Sample Guide: Chemistry analysis procedure CAP AP-1, Prompt Steam Generator Leak Identification Procedure provides a method of promptly identifying any leaking/ruptured S/Gs within 30 min. or if the leak rate and/or RCS activity is sufficiently high, the affected S/G(s) may be identified more quickly by using a frisker to determine the highest count rate(s).
Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor Response to a DBA LOCA: Radiation shine from containment will alarm all four (4) main steam line radiation monitors during a DBA LOCA without a SGTR in progress. A knowledge item has been added to six (6) EOP background documents to exclude entering EOP E-3 if all four (4) main steam line radiation monitors exhibit the same order of magnitude response. The six emergency procedures affected are EOP E-0, E-1, E-1.2, E-2, ECA-2.1, and FR-H.3.

Which of the following events would cause Tave to decrease approximately 4ºF?
A. Power is reduced from 100% to 90% maintaining Tave on program.
B. 10% atmospheric steam dump valve fails open at 100% power, EOL, all rods out.
C. At 1% power, in a normal startup lineup, Main Steam pressure transmitter, PT-507 fails high. (No operator action)
D. At 100% power, with control systems in AUTO, Turbine Impulse pressure transmitter, PT-505 fails low. (No operator action)
Proposed Answer:
C. At 1% power, in a normal startup lineup, Main Steam pressure transmitter, PT-507 fails high. (No operator action)
Explanation:
A incorrect, at 100% power, Tave is 572ºF. Over all, Tave changes 25ºF, or .25ºF/%.
Therefore a 10% change will cause Tave to decrease 2.5ºF.
B incorrect, power will increase approximately 2.5%. Tave will decrease less than 4ºF C correct, PT-507 failing high will cause steam dumps (in steam pressure mode) to fail open. They will close at P-12. Tave will decrease from 547 to 543ºF, or 4ºF.
D incorrect, PT-505 failing low will cause rods to drive in. Tave will drop but without operator action, will decrease much more than 4ºF.

PLANT CONDITIONS
- Unit 1 trips from 100% power due to an error while performing a surveillance.
- The crew has entered E-0.1, Reactor Trip Response.
The CO notes that RCS temperature is 545ºF and decreasing and two Group 2 steam dump valves indicate partially open. All others indicate fully closed.
Which of the following actions would be appropriate for the current plant conditions?
A. Shut the MSIVs and bypass valves.
B. Implement AP-6, Emergency Boration.
C. Place the Steam Dump Bypass switches, 43/SDA and 43/SDB in OFF.
D. Take Steam Dump controller, HC-507 to Manual and press the DECREASE pushbutton.
Proposed Answer:
A. Shut the MSIVs and bypass valves.
Explanation:
A correct, all valves should be closed at this time. Per E-0.1, the MSIVs are closed.
B incorrect, this would be the action if the cooldown continued after shutting the MSIVs.
C incorrect, placing the Bypass switches in OFF removes the arming signal, but would have no effect if the valves are not being controlled by HC-507.
D incorrect, all valves should be closed at this time. E-0.1 states to verify all Steam Dump valves closed, which this would do if there was a demand for them to be open.

Control System Control System Overview, Continued Physical description (continued)
Part Function Mode selector These switches establish the operating mode of the switch Steam Dump system.
Bypass switches Load Rejection This controller modulates the Steam Dump valves on a Controller load rejection.
It attempts to maintain Tavg at a Tref value (derived from PT-505 as above) plus a defined offset (4°F Unit 1 and 3°F Unit 2).
Reactor Trip This controller modulates the Group 1 and 2 Steam Controller Dump valves on a reactor trip.
It attempt to maintain Tavg at Tnoload (nl) (normally set at 547°F).
Steam Pressure This controller modulates the Group 1 and 2 Steam Controller Dump valves when steam pressure mode is selected on the Mode Selector switch.
It attempts to maintain steam header pressure at the value set at the controller.
The steam pressure controller is normally set at 1005 psig.
This value is varied when performing heatups or cooldowns.
UI-500 This meter indicates the output from all Steam Dump controllers (excluding the individual pressure controllers).

Introduction Distance is oft times the easiest and best of the ALARA tools. When an RP tech insists that you move away from a hot spot or use long handled tools, they are not doing it to harass you.
Main Idea I moved = I known X (distance known/distance moved)2 Example A hot particle reads 20 mR/h at 2 feet, what is its dose rate at 6 inches? What is it at 4 ft?
I moved = 20 mR/h X (2 ft known/0.5 ft moved)2 = 320 mR/h at 6 inches I moved = 20 mR/h X (2 ft known/4 ft moved)2 = 5 mR/h at 4 ft.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY NUMBER OP1.DC11 DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT REVISION 25 PAGE 11 OF 14 TITLE: Conduct of Operations-Abnormal Plant Conditions 5.5.11 Procedure steps flagged as "continuous action" items should be assigned to the appropriate control room individual to ensure that the requirements are met if conditions change later in the procedure.
5.5.12 EOP foldout page information should be handled in the following manner:
- a. For procedures which have no procedure transition tailboard, the shift foreman and the WCSFM should monitor the foldout page items and notify the control room crew of any actions necessary from the foldout page.
- b. For other EOPs, the foldout page should be reviewed with the crew as a part of the procedure transition tailboard. Specific assignments should be made to appropriate control room operators by assigning the foldout page number and the operator repeating back the high level action. Specific parameters and values are not required to be repeated back. A copy of the foldout page should be given to any operator with an assignment.
5.5.13 The critical safety function (CSFs) status trees shall be monitored at the periodicity required by the EOP rules of usage (Attachment 7.1).
- a. When the SPDS is in service, PERIODIC (once every 10 to 20 minutes) monitoring of the CSF status trees is performed to verify that no red or magenta paths exist. This should be accomplished by selecting one of the CSF screens and using the displayed CSF numbers to check colors.
- b. When the SPDS is in service, CONTINUOUS monitoring of the CSF status trees is performed when a red or magenta path exists (exceptions to this are discussed in Attachment 7.1). This should be accomplished by selecting one of the CSF status trees. The person responsible for CSF monitoring remains in the direct area of the SPDS panels allowing immediate detection of a CSF status change.
- c. When the SPDS is out of service, the CSF monitoring function is satisfied by using the sheets provided in EOP F-0. In this case, the monitor should review all the sheets in sequence, and should repeat the review periodically or continuously based upon the CSF status per EOP F-0.
- d. When a red or magenta path exists, the redundant instrumentation should be verified prior to transitioning to an FR procedure. The intent of this check is to ensure an FR is not implemented based on inaccurate SPDS indication.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY NUMBER OP1.DC11 DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT REVISION 25 PAGE 12 OF 14 TITLE: Conduct of Operations-Abnormal Plant Conditions 5.5.14 In many cases, the AOPs, EOPs, or ARPs refer to normal operating procedures to accomplish various tasks necessary to mitigate a plant event. In these cases, certain precautions, limitations, or procedure steps in the normal operating procedures may not be applicable or desirable during the emergency use of that procedure.
- a. If, in the judgment of the shift foreman, time is critical or the operator is knowledgeable about the task being referred to, following consultation with the SM and/or WCSFM the SFM may direct the operator to take actions consistent with these normal operating procedures but using different methodologies or without having the procedure in hand (reference: AD2.ID1).
5.5.15 Use of Annunciator Response Procedures (ARPs)
- a. It is vital that the crew use diagnostics, teamwork, and communications to get pertinent information to the SFM.
- b. The SFM shall use his/her command and control of the situation and the crew's team skills to prioritize the actions that need to be taken.
Depending on plant conditions, these actions may include completion of all or part of the ARP.
- c. All alarms received in the control room shall be reviewed for significance. Significant alarms received during the use of AOPs and EOPs shall be brought to the attention of the SFM by the person acknowledging the alarm.
- d. The SFM should determine the priority of annunciators and the appropriate response, based on plant conditions or events in progress.
- e. The SFM should assign a crewmember the responsibility of monitoring and addressing alarms.
- 1. The appropriate ARP should be reviewed for each alarm deemed significant. The SFM will determine when this action will occur, based on manpower available and the events in progress.
- 2. The SFM should be kept updated on any actions performed that could impact the EOP or AOP procedure flowpath.

Accumulators B 3.5.1 B 3.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS (ECCS)
B 3.5.1 Accumulators BASES BACKGROUND The functions of the ECCS accumulators are to supply borated water to replace inventory in the reactor vessel during the latter phase of blowdown to the beginning phase of reflood of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). The ECCS injection mode following a large break LOCA consists of three phases: 1) blowdown, 2) refill, and 3) reflood.
The blowdown phase of a large break LOCA is the initial period of the transient during which the RCS departs from equilibrium conditions, and heat from fission product decay, hot internals, and the vessel continues to be transferred to the reactor coolant. The blowdown phase of the transient ends when the RCS pressure falls to a value approaching that of the containment atmosphere.
In the refill phase of a LOCA, which immediately follows the blowdown phase, reactor coolant inventory has vacated the core through steam flashing and spill out through the break. The core is essentially in adiabatic heatup. The balance of accumulator inventory is then available to help fill voids in the lower plenum and reactor vessel downcomer so as to establish a recovery level at the bottom of the core and ongoing reflood of the core with the addition of ECCS water.
The refill phase is complete when the injection of ECCS water has filled the reactor vessel downcomer and the lower plenum of the reactor vessel, which is bounded by the bottom of the fuel rods.
The reflood phase follows the refill phase and continues until the reactor vessel has been filled to the extent that core temperature rise has been terminated.
The accumulators function in the later stage of blowdown to the beginning of reflood to fill the downcomer and lower plenum. The injection of the ECCS pumps aid during refill. Reflood and the following long term heat removal is accomplished by water pumped into the core by the ECCS pumps.
The accumulators are pressure vessels partially filled with borated water and pressurized with nitrogen gas. The accumulators are passive components, since no operator or control actions are required in order for them to perform their function. Internal accumulator tank pressure is sufficient to discharge the accumulator contents to the RCS, if RCS pressure decreases below the accumulator pressure.
Each accumulator is piped into an RCS cold leg via an accumulator line and is isolated from the RCS by an open motor operated isolation valve (continued)
DIABLO CANYON - UNITS 1 & 2 Revision 2 8S9IDX02.DOC - R2B 1
Accumulators B 3.
5.1 BACKGROUND
(8808A, B, C, and D) and by two check valves in series. The (continued) accumulator size, water volume, and nitrogen cover pressure are selected so that three of the four accumulators are sufficient to partially cover the core before significant clad melting or zirconium water reaction can occur following a LOCA. The need to ensure that three accumulators are adequate for this function is consistent with the LOCA assumption that the entire contents of one accumulator will be lost via the RCS pipe break during the blowdown phase of the LOCA.
APPLICABLE The accumulators are assumed OPERABLE in both the large and small SAFETY break LOCA analyses at full power (Ref. 1 and 3). These are the ANALYSES Design Basis Accidents (DBAs) that establish the acceptance limits for the accumulators. Reference to the analyses for these DBAs is used to assess changes in the accumulators as they relate to the acceptance limits.
In performing the LOCA calculations, conservative assumptions are made concerning the availability of ECCS flow with no credit taken for ECCS pump flow until an effective delay has elapsed. In the early stages of a LOCA, with or without a loss of offsite power, the accumulators provide the sole source of makeup water to the RCS.
The assumption of loss of offsite power is required by regulations and conservatively imposes a delay wherein the ECCS pumps cannot deliver flow until the emergency diesel generators start, come to rated speed, and go through their timed loading sequence. The delay time is conservatively set with an additional 2 seconds to account for SI signal generation. In cold leg break scenarios, the entire contents of one accumulator are assumed to be lost through the break. No operator action is assumed during the blowdown stage of a large break LOCA.
The limiting large break LOCA is a double ended guillotine break in the RCS piping. During this event, the accumulators discharge to the RCS as soon as RCS pressure decreases to below accumulator pressure.
The worst case small break LOCA analyses also assume a time delay before pumped flow reaches the core. For the larger range of small breaks, the SI pumps begin RCS injection, however, the increase in fuel clad temperature is terminated primarily by the accumulators, with pumped flow then providing continued cooling. As break size decreases, the accumulators and the ECCS centrifugal charging and SI pumps play a part in terminating the rise in clad temperature. As break size continues to decrease, the role of the accumulators continues to decrease.
(continued)
DIABLO CANYON - UNITS 1 & 2 Revision 2 8S9IDX02.DOC - R2B 2
Accumulators B 3.5.1 BASES APPLICABLE The accumulators do not discharge above the pressure of their nitrogen SAFETY cover gas (579 to 664 psig.) At higher pressures the ECCS centrifugal ANALYSES charging pumps and SI pumps injection becomes solely responsible for (continued) terminating the temperature increase.
This LCO helps to ensure that the following acceptance criteria established for the ECCS by 10 CFR 50.46 (Ref. 2) that are applicable for the accumulators will be met following a LOCA:
- a. Maximum fuel element cladding temperature is < 2200°F;
- b. Maximum cladding oxidation is < 0.17 times the total cladding thickness before oxidation;
- c. Maximum hydrogen generation from a zirconium-water reaction is
< 0.01 times the hypothetical amount that would be generated if all of the metal in the cladding cylinders surrounding the fuel, excluding cladding surrounding the plenum volume, were to react; and
- d. Core is maintained in a coolable geometry.
Since the accumulators discharge during the blowdown and reflood phase of a LOCA, they do not contribute to the long term cooling requirements of 10 CFR 50.46, though their water volume is credited as part of the long term cooling inventory.
For both the large and small break LOCA analyses, a nominal contained accumulator water volume (814 cubic feet to 886 cubic feet) is used. The contained water volume is the same as the deliverable volume for the accumulators, since the accumulators are emptied, once discharged. For small breaks, an increase in water volume is a peak clad temperature penalty. Depending on the NRC-approved methodology used to analyze large breaks, an increase in water volume may result in either a peak clad temperature penalty or benefit, depending on downcomer filling and subsequent spill through the break during the core reflooding portion of the transient. The analysis makes a conservative assumption with respect to ignoring or taking credit for line water volume from the accumulator to the check valve. The safety analysis assumes values of >814 cubic feet and <886 cubic feet. The implementation of these values is performed accounting for instrument uncertainty.
The minimum boron concentration setpoint is used in the post LOCA boron concentration calculation. The calculation is performed to assure reactor subcriticality in a post LOCA environment. Of particular interest is the large break LOCA, since no credit is taken for control rod assembly insertion.
(continued)
DIABLO CANYON - UNITS 1 & 2 Revision 2 8S9IDX02.DOC - R2B 3
Accumulators B 3.5.1 BASES APPLICABLE A reduction below the accumulator LCO minimum boron concentration SAFETY would produce a subsequent reduction in the available containment ANALYSES recirculation sump boron concentration for post LOCA shutdown and (continued) an increase in the sump pH. The maximum boron concentration is used in determining the cold leg to hot leg recirculation injection switchover time and minimum sump pH.
The large and small break LOCA analyses are performed at the minimum nitrogen cover pressure (579 psig), since sensitivity analyses have demonstrated that higher nitrogen cover pressure results in a computed peak clad temperature benefit. The maximum nitrogen cover pressure limit (664 psig) provides margin to assure inadvertent relief valve actuation does not occur.
These analysis-assumed pressures are specified in the SRs. Volumes are shown on the control board indicators as % readings on accumulator narrow range level instruments. Adjustments to the analysis parameters for instrument inaccuracies or other reasons are applied to determine the acceptance criteria used in the plant surveillance procedures. These adjustments assure the assumed analyses parameters are maintained.
The effects on containment mass and energy releases from the accumulators are accounted for in the appropriate analyses (Refs. 1 and 3).
The accumulators satisfy Criterion 2 and Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
LCO The LCO establishes the minimum conditions required to ensure that the accumulators are available to accomplish their core cooling safety function following a LOCA. Four accumulators are required to ensure that 100% of the contents of three of the accumulators will reach the core during a LOCA. This is consistent with the assumption that the contents of one accumulator spill through the break. If less than three accumulators are injected during the blowdown phase of a LOCA, the ECCS acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46 (Ref. 2) could be violated.
For an accumulator to be considered OPERABLE, the isolation valve must be fully open, power removed above a nominal pressure of 1000 psig, and the limits established in the SRs for contained volume, boron concentration, and nitrogen cover pressure must be met.

Accumulators B 3.5.1 BASES (continued)
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1 and 2, and in MODE 3 with RCS pressure > 1000 psig, the accumulator OPERABILITY requirements are based on full power operation. Although cooling requirements decrease as power decreases, the accumulators are still required to provide core cooling as long as elevated RCS pressures and temperatures exist.
This LCO is only applicable at RCS pressures > 1000 psig. At pressures < 1000 psig, the rate of RCS blowdown is such that the ECCS pumps can provide adequate injection to ensure that peak clad temperature remains below the 10 CFR 50.46 (Ref. 2) limit of 2200°F.
In MODE 3, with RCS pressure < 1000 psig, and in MODES 4, 5, and 6, the accumulator motor operated isolation valves are normally closed to isolate the accumulators from the RCS. This allows RCS cooldown and depressurization without discharging the accumulators into the RCS or requiring depressurization of the accumulators.
Accumulator may be unisolated when accumulator pressure is less than the maximum RCS pressure for the existing RCS cold leg temperature allowed by the P/T limit curves provided in the PTLR. This condition is in agreement with the TS 3.4.12 LCO requirement.
ACTIONS A.1 If the boron concentration of one accumulator is not within limits, it must be returned to within the limits within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. In this Condition, the ability to maintain subcriticality or minimum boron precipitation time may be reduced. The boron in the accumulators contributes to the assumption that the combined ECCS water in the partially recovered core during the early reflooding phase of a large break LOCA is sufficient to keep that portion of the core subcritical. One accumulator below the minimum boron concentration limit, however, will have no effect on available ECCS water and an insignificant effect on core subcriticality during reflood. Boiling of ECCS water in the core during reflood concentrates boron in the saturated liquid that remains in the core. In addition, current analyses demonstrate that the accumulators will discharge following a large main steam line break. The impact of their discharge is minor and not a design limiting event. Thus, 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is allowed to return the boron concentration to within limits.

Diablo Canyon Units 1 & 2 Rev. 0 1GZOW300.DOC 1
Reactivity Control Systems - Borated Water Source - Shutdown 8.8 SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY BASES BACKGROUND ECG 8.8 was developed to relocate the requirements from current TS (CTS) 3/4.1.2.5 to the ECGs as approved by Reference 1.
The boration subsystem of the chemical and volume control system (CVCS) provides the means to meet one of the functional requirements of the CVCS, i.e. to control the chemical neutron absorber (boron) concentration in the reactor coolant system (RCS) and to help control the boron concentration to maintain shutdown margin (SDM). To accomplish this functional requirement, the boration systems require a source of borated water, one or more flow paths to inject this borated water into the RCS, and appropriate charging pumps to provide the necessary charging head.
The boron injection system ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to perform this function include: (1) borated water sources, (2) charging pumps, (3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid transfer pumps, and (5) an emergency power supply from an OPERABLE diesel generator.
Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Section 9.3.4.2.2.4, Chemical Shim APPLICABLE and Reactor Coolant Makeup, describes the design bases of the CVCS SAFETY chemical shim (boric acid) and reactor coolant makeup system. FSAR ANALYSES Section 15.2.4, Uncontrolled Boron Dilution, provides an analysis of the uncontrolled boron dilution accident.
FSAR Section 9.3.4, Chemical And Volume Control System (CVCS),
states that the boron injection system, for cold shutdown conditions, is designed to increase the RCS boron concentration to the cold shutdown concentration. It is capable of borating the RCS through either one of two flowpaths and from either one of two boric acid sources. The amount of boric acid stored in the CVCS always exceeds that amount required to borate the RCS to cold shutdown concentration assuming that the control assembly with the highest reactivity worth is stuck in its fully withdrawn position.
(continued)
Diablo Canyon Units 1 & 2 Rev. 0 1GZOW300.DOC 2
Reactivity Control Systems - Borated Water Source - Shutdown 8.8 SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY BASES APPLICABLE Reference 2 states that the boration subsystem is not assumed to operate SAFETY to mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident or transient. In ANALYSES the case of a malfunction of the CVCS, which causes a boron dilution (continued) event, the response required by the operator is to close the appropriate valves in the reactor makeup system before the SDM is lost. Operation of the boration subsystem is not assumed to mitigate this event.
Furthermore, Reference 3 notes that the normal capability to control reactivity with boron is not credited in the accident analysis.
Reference 4 states with the RCS temperature below 200°F, one boron injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity changes in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.
The boron capability required below 200°F is sufficient to provide an SDM of 1% k/k after xenon decay and cooldown from 200°F to 140°F. This condition requires either 2,499 gallons of 7,000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 17,865 gallons of 2,300 ppm borated water from the RWST.
LCO The LCO requires at least one of two sources of borated water to be OPERABLE. The acceptable sources and limits are:
- a. A Boric Acid Storage System with:
- 1) A minimum contained borated water volume of 2,499 gallons,
- 2) A boron concentration between 7,000 and 7,700 ppm, and
- 3) A minimum solution temperature of 65°F.
- b. The Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) with;
- 1) A minimum contained borated water volume of 50,000 gallons,
- 2) A minimum boron concentration of 2300 ppm, and
- 3) A minimum solution temperature of 35°F.
The contained water volume limits for each source include allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics (Reference 4).
(continued)
Diablo Canyon Units 1 & 2 Rev. 0 1GZOW300.DOC 3
Reactivity Control Systems - Borated Water Source - Shutdown 8.8 BASES APPLICABILITY ECG 8.8 is only applicable in MODES 5 and 6 (RCS temperature 200°F). When RCS temperature is below 200°F, only one boron injection flow path is required, without single failure consideration, as discussed in the safety analyses section above. For operation in MODES 1 - 4, refer to ECG 8.4, which requires a minimum of two boron injection flow paths to be OPERABLE to ensure functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the flow paths inoperable (Reference 4).
ACTIONS A.1 Condition A applies when none of the borated water sources are OPERABLE. With this condition, Action A.1 requires that all operations involving CORE ALTERATIONS or positive reactivity changes be suspended immediately. This will preclude any positive reactivity changes. With no source for injection of borated water, core protection is severely reduced and any actions that add positive reactivity to the core must be suspended immediately.
SURVEILLANCE SR 8.8.1 through SR 8.8.4 are required to be current for at least the REQUIREMENTS credited OPERABLE borated water source.
SR 8.8.1 This surveillance verifies that the RWST solution temperature is not less than 35°F when it is the source of borated water and the outside ambient air temperature is less than 35°F. This assures that the boric acid solution remains soluble. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> frequency is appropriate based on the large volume of solution that has to undergo the temperature change and on engineering judgment.
SR 8.8.2 through 8.8.4 These surveillances verify that the boron concentration, borated water volume, and temperature of the boric acid storage tank, when it is the source of borated water, are within limits specified by the LCO Bases.
The 7 day Frequency has been shown to be acceptable through operating experience.

- 1. SCOPE 1.1 This procedure provides guidance for locating and isolating an RCS leak in Modes 5 and 6.
1.1.1 Steps 1 thru 22 are to be used if RCS level is less than 108' or if level is less than 111' and dropping rapidly such that loss of RHR is imminent.
- a. Step 2 checks for cavitation, or possible cavitation, of the RHR pumps and reduces flow or stops the pumps to stop the cavitation.
- d. Steps 11 thru 13 are used to vent the RHR System.
- e. Steps 14 thru 22 are plant stabilization actions.
1.1.2 If RCS level is greater than 108' and inventory loss is manageable, the inventory loss reduction, isolation and recovery actions begin at step 24.
- a. Steps 24 thru 27 shut down the RCPs, if running, and reduce RCS pressure to reduce the inventory loss.
- b. Step 28 restores inventory.
- c. Steps 29 thru 33 check for the location of the leak by monitoring tank levels, doing local checks and by isolating RHR or the charging and letdown lines.
- d. If the leak has not been found by this time the leak is assumed to be on an RHR train, steps 34 thru 36 are used to isolate a leaking RHR train.
1.2 This procedure also provides guidance to restore RCS inventory.
1.3 This procedure covers the steps required to regain RHR cooling after a loss of inventory and subsequent loss of RHR pumps while at reduced RCS inventory conditions (Reactor Vessel level less than 111').

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY NUMBER OP AP-11 DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT REVISION 21 PAGE 31 OF 37 TITLE: Malfunction of Component Cooling Water System UNITS 1 AND 2 APPENDIX C BACKUP COOLING TO A CENTRIFUGAL CHARGING PUMP
- 1. SCOPE 1.1 The purpose of this appendix is to make available a cooling water supply to one centrifugal charging pump (lube oil and gear oil coolers) when CCW cooling has been lost. Without either seal injection or thermal barrier cooling the integrity of the RCP seals will be lost in approximately one hour.
- 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 The backup cooling system can be connected to either centrifugal charging pump, however, this system can only be used to supply cooling for one charging pump at a time.
The cooling water will come from a fire sprinkler drain with a quick disconnect fitting.
The hoses to be used have quick disconnect fittings. The backup cooling hoses are stored near the #3 CCW pump. Each hose is labeled with a letter designation corresponding to the specified hose in the following instructions.
- 3. INSTRUCTIONS NOTE 1: Unit 2 valve numbers are in parentheses.
NOTE 2: If difficulty is encountered connecting quick disconnect fittings it may be due to pressure buildup behind the quick disconnect. To relieve the pressure, tap the internal center pin of the quick disconnect fitting using the "quick disconnect adjuster" (rod and hammer) stored with the hoses.
3.1 Connect one end of the 2"x34' hose (Hose 'A') at FP-1-347 (FP-2-350) (sprinkler test valve near the #3 CCW pump room entrance) and connect other end to connection on fire door B21 (B39-2) (outside entry to CCP room).
3.2 Connect one end of the 2"x51' hose (Hose 'B') at fire door B21 (B39-2) (inside entry of CCP room), and connect other end at FP-1(2)-1295 (manifold on wall of CCP room).
3.3 Connect the 1"x12' hose from the manifold outlet to the CCP oil coolers:
NOTE: The hose can only be connected to one CCP.

Inverters - Operating B 3.8.7 B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS B 3.8.7 Inverters - Operating BASES BACKGROUND The Class 1E UPS inverters are the preferred source of power for the AC vital buses because of the stability and reliability they achieve. The function of the inverter is to provide AC electrical power to the vital buses. The inverters can be powered from an internal AC source/rectifier or from the station battery. The station battery provides an uninterruptible power source for the instrumentation and controls for the Reactor Protective System (RPS) and the Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS). Specific details on inverters and their operating characteristics are found in the FSAR, Chapter 7 (Ref. 1).
APPLICABLE The initial conditions of Design Basis Accident (DBA) and transient SAFETY analyses in the FSAR, Chapter 6 (Ref. 2) and Chapter 15 (Ref. 3),
ANALYSES assume Engineered Safety Feature systems are OPERABLE. The inverters are designed to provide the required capacity, capability, redundancy, and reliability to ensure the availability of necessary power to the RPS and ESFAS instrumentation and controls so that the fuel, Reactor Coolant System, and containment design limits are not exceeded. These limits are discussed in more detail in the Bases for Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits; Section 3.4, Reactor Coolant System (RCS); and Section 3.6, Containment Systems.
The OPERABILITY of the inverters is consistent with the initial assumptions of the accident analyses and is based on meeting the design basis of the unit. This includes maintaining required AC vital buses OPERABLE during accident conditions in the event of:
- b. A worst case single failure.
Inverters are a part of the distribution system and, as such, satisfy Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
LCO The Class 1E UPS inverters ensure the availability of AC electrical power for the systems instrumentation required to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe condition after an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO) or a postulated DBA.
(continued)
Inverters - Operating B 3.8.7 BASES LCO Maintaining the required inverters OPERABLE ensures that the (continued) redundancy incorporated into the design of the RPS and ESFAS instrumentation and controls is maintained. The four inverters ensure an uninterruptible supply of AC electrical power to the 120 VAC vital buses even if the 4.16 kV safety buses are de-energized.
Operable inverters require the associated 120 VAC vital bus to be powered by the inverter with output voltage within tolerances, and power input to the inverter from a 125 VDC station battery. Alternatively, power supply may be from an internal AC source via rectifier as long as the station battery is available as the uninterruptible power supply.
APPLICABILITY The inverters are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 to ensure that:
- a. Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded as a result of AOOs or abnormal transients; and
- b. Adequate core cooling is provided, and containment OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained in the event of a postulated DBA.
Inverter requirements for MODES 5 and 6 are covered in the Bases for LCO 3.8.8, "Inverters - Shutdown."
ACTIONS A.1 With a required inverter inoperable, its associated 120 VAC vital bus becomes inoperable until it is re-energized from its Class 1E constant voltage source transformer.
For this reason a Note has been included in Condition A requiring the entry into the Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.8.9, "Distribution Systems - Operating." This ensures that the 120 VAC bus is re-energized within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
Required Action A.1 allows 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to fix the inoperable inverter and return it to service. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> limit is based upon engineering judgment, taking into consideration the time required to repair an inverter and the additional risk to which the unit is exposed because of the inverter inoperability. This has to be balanced against the risk of an immediate shutdown, along with the potential challenges to safety systems such a shutdown might entail. When the 120 VAC vital bus is powered from its constant voltage source, it is relying upon interruptible (continued)
Inverters - Operating B 3.8.7 BASES ACTIONS A.1 (continued)
AC electrical power sources (offsite and onsite). The uninterruptible inverter source to the 120 VAC vital buses is the preferred source for powering instrumentation trip setpoint devices.
B.1 and B.2 If the inoperable devices or components cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
SURVEILLANCE SR 3.8.7.1 REQUIREMENTS This Surveillance verifies that the inverters are functioning properly with all required circuit breakers closed and 120 VAC vital buses energized from the inverter. The verification of proper voltage output ensures that the required power is readily available for the instrumentation of the RPS and ESFAS connected to the AC vital buses. The 7 day Frequency takes into account the redundant capability of the inverters and other indications available in the control room that alert the operator to inverter malfunctions.

Per TS Bases B3.7.8 - In the event of a total loss of ASW in one unit, the capability to cross-tie units ensures the availability of sufficient redundant cooling capacity for the affected unit. If the unit cross-tie capability were used, the unit with no operable ASW train would enter LCO 3.0.3, and the unit from which ASW was being provided would be in a 72-hour action with the cross-tie then declared inoperable.

ASW B 3.7.8 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.8 Auxiliary Saltwater System (ASW)
BASES BACKGROUND The ASW system provides a heat sink from the Pacific Ocean for the removal of process and operating heat from the CCW system. The CCW system then provides cooling to safety-related components during all modes of operation, including a DBA, and also to various non safety-related components during normal operation and shutdown.
The ASW consists of two, 100% capacity, safety related, cooling water trains. Each train consists of one 100% capacity pump, one component cooling water (CCW) heat exchanger, piping, valving, and instrumentation. The pumps are automatically started upon receipt of a safety injection signal or 4kV automatic transfer. Normal configuration is for one train operation with the second pump cross-tied in stand-by and the second heat exchanger valved out-of-service except when the UHS temperature is 64°F or higher; therefore no valve realignment occurs with a safety injection signal. Manual and remote manual system realignment provides for utilization of the second CCW heat exchanger, for use of the standby pump on the same unit, for cross-tying the standby ASW pump from opposite unit, and for train separation for long term cooling. The ASW unit cross-tie valve (FCV-601) allows one ASW pump on one unit to supply the CCW heat exchanger(s) on the other unit. In the event of a total loss of ASW in one unit, the capability to cross-tie units ensures the availability of sufficient redundant cooling capacity for the affected unit. If the unit cross-tie capability were used, the unit with no operable ASW train would enter LCO 3.0.3, and the unit from which ASW was being provided would be in a 72-hour action with the cross-tie then declared inoperable. FCV-601 is controlled by ECG 17.1.
Additional information about the design and operation of the ASW system, is presented in the FSAR, Section 9.2.7 (Ref. 1). The principal safety related function of the ASW system is the removal of decay heat from the reactor via the vital CCW System.
APPLICABLE The design basis of the ASW system is for one ASW train, in SAFETY conjunction with the CCW System and the containment cooling ANALYSES systems, to remove accident generated and core decay heat following a design basis LOCA as discussed in the FSAR, Section 6.2 (Ref. 2).
The ASW system can be re-configured to maintain the CCW temperature to within its design bases limits. The ASW system is designed to perform its function with a single failure of any active (continued)
ASW B 3.7.8 BASES APPLICABLE component, with or without the loss of offsite power. This assumes a SAFETY maximum ASW temperature of 64°F occurring simultaneously with ANALYSES maximum heat loads on the system. The ASW system, in conjunction (continued) with the CCW System, also cools the unit from residual heat removal (RHR) entry conditions to MODE 5 during normal and post accident operations. The time required for this evolution is a function of the number of ASW pumps, CCW heat exchangers, and RHR heat exchangers that are operating. One ASW train is sufficient to remove decay heat during subsequent operations in MODES 5 and 6.
However, in the split-train configuration during post-accident operation, operator action may be required to realign the ASW and CCW systems to prevent loss of all cooling to containment and safety-related systems following specific active failure scenarios.
The ASW system satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
LCO Two ASW trains are required to be OPERABLE to provide the required redundancy to ensure that the system functions to remove post accident heat loads, assuming that the worst case single active failure occurs coincident with the loss of offsite power.
An ASW train is considered OPERABLE during MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 when:
- a. The pump is OPERABLE; and
- b. The associated piping, valves, heat exchanger, and instrumentation and controls required to perform the safety related function are OPERABLE.
This requires that at least one vacuum relief valve be OPERABLE.
Each ASW train has a vacuum relief system consisting of two vacuum relief valves (check valves) which function to prevent water hammer in the system piping during an ASW pump trip and restart transient.
Check valves are passive components and, unless otherwise specified, are not considered in meeting the single failure criterion. The second vacuum relief valve on each header ensures reliability of the function.
If both vacuum relief valves on a single header are inoperable, water hammer during an ASW pump trip and restart transient could affect both ASW trains unless the ASW header cross-tie valve is closed and the ASW pump breaker or dc control power switch is opened for the affected ASW train, precluding the potential for water hammer in the train. See ECG 17.4, "ASW Pump Discharge Vacuum Relief Valves."
(continued)
ASW B 3.7.8 BASES LCO (continued) Both cross-tie valves FCV-495 and FCV-496 are required to be open to support single active failure criteria. The valves may be closed in post-accident long-term phase to support passive failure criteria, if system integrity is a concern. With one or both ASW trains in service with the cross-tie valves closed, a single active failure could result in a significant reduction or loss of heat removal capability. With both ASW trains in service, approximately one-half of the total CCW flow is routed through each CCW heat exchanger. In the event of a postulated ASW pump failure in this configuration, with the cross-tie valves closed, only one ASW pump will be operating and providing heat removal to one-half of the total CCW flow via its associated in-service CCW heat exchanger. In this situation, the ASWS heat removal capability is limited and may not meet the requirements of the system to maintain the CCW supply temperature within its design limits.
- c. The associated pump vault drain check valve is OPERABLE.
The ASW pump vault check valves prevent flooding of the ASW pump vaults during design flood events.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the ASW system is a normally operating system that is required to support the OPERABILITY of the equipment serviced by the ASW system and required to be OPERABLE in these MODES.
In MODES 5 and 6, the OPERABILITY requirements of the ASW system are determined by the systems it supports.

Fire Detection Instrumentation 18.3 BASES The OPERABILITY* of the detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for prompt detection of fires. This capability is required in order to detect and locate fires in their early stages. Prompt detection of fires will reduce the potential for damage of safety-related equipment and is an integral element in the overall facility Fire Protection Program.
In the event that a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, the establishment of frequent fire patrols in the affected areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is restored to OPERABILITY*.
Action C.1 requires inspecting the zones in Table 18.0-3 for fires within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> following a seismic event in excess of 0.02g. The basis for the 2-hour Completion Time is that fire detectors are nonseismic and cannot be relied upon to detect fires after an earthquake. Since safe shutdown systems are protected by barriers rated at two hours or more, any fire after an earthquake should be detected by this inspection before redundant safe shutdown equipment is affected (Reference 7). For the purposes of this inspection, entry into a closed room or enclosure, including containment, is sufficient to meet the requirement to "inspect for fires."
Presence of a fire (smoke, odor, flame, heat) would be self evident upon entry.
Some fire detectors are located in areas not normally accessible during plant operation.
Detectors not normally accessible during plant operations, such as in containment, will be tested (channel functional test) during each COLD SHUTDOWN* exceeding 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> unless the surveillance has been performed in the previous six months. Under these conditions, surveillance requirement 18.3.2 must be satisfied prior to leaving COLD SHUTDOWN* and re-entering MODE 4.
Table 18.0-3 includes detectors credited to protect safety-related equipment and equipment required for safe shutdown. The detectors which protect safe shutdown equipment are credited in the 10 CFR 50, Appendix R Safe Shutdown Analysis and, if credited, in the technical basis of approved deviations from 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G. Some of the detectors are also credited in the technical basis for Fire Hazards Appendix R Evaluations.

NOTES: 1. Radiological Assessment Sampling, includes collection of atmospheric, liquid, and environmental radiological activity samples as well as chemistry samples involving high activity or high radiation. Emergency exposure limits may be authorized for selected individuals, for emergency assessment functions, in addition to annual occupational dose to date.
- 2. Property Saving, for example, might be dispatching the Fire Brigade to extinguish a fire in a Very High Radiation Area to protect plant equipment though no immediate threat exists to compromising Plant Safety.
- 3. Dose Saving to Population, includes activities that justify a potential overexposure to a few workers in order to save even a small average dose in a large population. (May also include Traffic Control for Evacuees or other Security Plan Functions.)
- 4. Lifesaving to Individual, includes the activity of search and rescue in very high dose rates or high airborne activity.
- Extreme situations may occur in which a dose in excess of 25 rem TEDE would be unavoidable for either Dose Saving to (Large) Population or Lifesaving to (An)
Individual.
An authorization of emergency exposure with NO LIMITS may be made under those conditions, but only to volunteers who are fully aware of the risks involved, including the numerical levels of dose at which acute effects of radiation will be incurred and the numerical estimates of the risk of delayed effects.

Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 39.4 BASES BACKGROUND The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the release of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or postulated radiological releases. The alarm/trip setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated and adjusted in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM-TS 5.5.1) to ensure that the alarm/trip will occur prior to exceeding 10 CFR Part 20 limits.
The gaseous radwaste system gas decay tank noble gas discharge monitor, RM-22 (channel R-22), detects radioactive noble gases and provides an alarm and automatic termination of release. When actuated, the instrument channel provides a control output signal initiating the closure of valve RCV-17 (Reference 6). When activity level is sufficiently low, these gases are released from the gas decay tanks, passed through a HEPA filter, and vented directly to the atmosphere via the plant vent system (Reference 4). The gas decay tanks are common to both units.
The plant vent system includes additional monitoring instrumentation in the release vents. Noble gas monitors RM-14 and RM-14R (channels R-14 and R-14R) provide an alarm when high radiation is detected in the plant vent. The plant vent iodine monitors, RM-24 and RM-24R (channels R-24 and R-24R), sample air exhausted through the plant vent to determine the radioactive iodine concentration. Similarly, the plant vent radioactive particulate monitors, RM-28 and RM-28R (channels R-28 and R-28R), sample the exhaust air for radioactive particulate concentrations.
In conjunction, flow rate monitoring channels FT-813 and FT-814, (associated with iodine sampler channels R-24 and R-24R), measure the flow rates, which are used as inputs in determining the iodine activity.
Loop flow transmitter FT-12 or its redundant counterpart, FT-12R, feeds a signal to flow recorder FR-12, which monitors the gaseous effluent flow rate in the plant vent. (Reference 7). The containment exhaust radiation monitors, RM-44A and RM-44B (channels R-44A and R-44B), monitor the air exhausted from containment through the containment purge and exhaust lines, and are covered by TS 3.3.6, Containment Ventilation Isolation Instrumentation.
The operability and use of this instrumentation is consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64. The sensitivity of any noble gas activity monitors used to show compliance with the gaseous effluent release requirements of the ODCM (commitment for operation 6.1.7.1 of CY2.ID1) shall be such that concentrations as low as 1 x 10-5 microcurie/mL are measurable.

Diablo Canyon Units 1 & 2 Rev. 8 2EH1VW08.DOA 7
Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 39.4 (continued)
APPLICABLE Several plant features are in place to limit the amount of activity that could SAFETY be released in the event of a design basis accident (DBA) gas decay tank ANALYSES rupture. Limits on primary coolant activity restrict the total curies present in the gas decay tanks as do the physical dimensions of each individual tank. Radiation monitors allow for the early detection of release and isolation valves allow operators to terminate the release upon detection.
The plant vent system is equipped with two channels of radioactive noble gas monitors, iodine monitors, and particulate monitors. Failure of any one of the two channels does not render the monitoring instrumentation inoperable. Sampling programs can be implemented to compensate for a failure of the channel required for operability.
LCO The radioactive gaseous effluent monitoring instrumentation must be OPERABLE to ensure that radioactive gas from the decay tanks is not released to the atmosphere via the plant vent system until its activity is sufficiently low.
The LCO requires that the single gaseous radwaste system noble gas activity monitor channel (R-22) be OPERABLE at all times as a primary means of detection and transmittal of an automatic isolation signal in the event of a gas decay tank rupture. The radiation monitoring channels in the plant vent system release vent detect the concentration of radioactive noble gases, iodine, and particulates. The plant vent system radiation monitoring channels and the plant vent flow rate monitors associated with each function have two channels, but only one is required for operability.
APPLICABILITY ECG 39.4 is applicable at all times because the effects of an uncontrolled release of a gas decay tanks contents are not dependent on plant operational mode.
ACTIONS A.1 With one or more functions (as listed in Table 39.4-1) with the required channel inoperable, the appropriate actions must be taken to restore operability to the instrumentation in order to ensure that a radioactive gaseous effluent release is not vented to the atmosphere in the case of a gas decay tank rupture. When one or more function is inoperable, the release of gaseous effluents is suspended or a compensatory action is taken to ensure the safe release of gaseous effluent until the equipment is made OPERABLE.
B.1 Suspending release of radioactive effluents via this pathway ensures that no potentially radioactive gases are released from the decay tanks to the plant vent while the monitoring function is inoperable. As described in Required Action Note B, the contents of the tank may be released for up to 14 days provided that the compensatory analysis and verification are performed.

Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 39.4 (continued)
ACTIONS B.2.1 and B.2.2 During the 14-day allotment the channel shall be repaired so that the activity in the gaseous effluent can be determined and the automatic valve closure function is available if the activity exceeds the alarm/trip setpoint.
If the channel is not repaired in the allotted time, an explanation is required in the next submittal of the Effluent Release Report. The 14 day completion time is reasonable based on the low probability of uncontrolled release and provides ample time to repair the channel.
C.1.1 The purpose of the sampling program is to manually sample and analyze the gaseous effluent for radiation when the release vent radiation monitoring channels are inoperable. The gaseous radwaste system noble gas activity monitoring channel (R-22) ensures gaseous effluent release to the plant vent system via the gas decay tanks has sufficiently low activity.
In addition to the gas decay tanks, several other release pathways are routed to the plant vent system, making it necessary to sample at this frequency.
C.1.2 Suspending release of radioactive effluents via this pathway ensures that no potentially radioactive gases are vented to the atmosphere while the radioactive noble gas monitoring channel in the release vent is inoperable and initiating a sampling program is not feasible.
C.2.1 and C.2.2 After suspending release of effluents via this pathway or initiating the sampling program, 30 days are allotted to repair the channel. The completion time is based on the time necessary to restore operability to the channel and the low probability of radioactive release concurrent with channel inoperability. If the channel is not repaired in the allotted time, an explanation is required in the next submittal of the Effluent Release Report.
D.1.1 To respond to the low flow alarm, determine that a simple fix cannot be made and that an auxiliary sampler is needed, move the sampler in, and hook up and verify operation. A maximum of two hours is considered a reasonable time to initiate the continuous sampling program Over two hours should be considered as exceeding the time limitation of this ECG.
D.1.2 Suspending release of radioactive effluents via this pathway ensures that no potentially radioactive gases are vented to the atmosphere while either the iodine sampler or particulate sampler is inoperable and continuous sampling is not possible.

Diablo Canyon Units 1 & 2 Rev. 8 2EH1VW08.DOA 9
Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 39.4 (continued)
ACTIONS D.2.1 and D.2.2 After suspending release of effluents via this pathway or initiating the sampling program, 30 days are allotted to repair the channel, based on the time demonstrated necessary by experience to restore operability. If the channel is not repaired in the allotted time, an explanation is required in the next submittal of the Effluent Release Report.
E.1.1 Effluent release via the plant vent may continue for up to 30 days provided the flow rate is estimated at least once every four hours in order to ensure detection of significant releases.
E.1.2 Suspending release of radioactive effluents via this pathway is a conservative measure that ensures no potentially radioactive gases are vented to the atmosphere while the flow rate monitors are inoperable and the flow rate cannot be estimated per the frequency specified in Required Action E.1.
E.2.1 and E.2.2 After suspending effluent release, 30 days are allotted to repair the channel If the channel is not repaired in the allotted time, an explanation is required in the next submittal of the Effluent Release Report.
SURVEILLANCE SR 39.4.1 REQUIREMENTS Performing a CHANNEL CHECK on the gas decay tank noble gas activity monitor (RM-22) ensures normal behavior of the channel prior to each release. By confirming operability, a CHANNEL CHECK also ensures that the instrumentation is able to send a high radiation signal to the isolation valve to terminate gaseous effluent release.
SR 39.4.2 A CHANNEL CHECK is performed on the noble gas plant vent monitors (RM-14 and RM-14R), the iodine sampler flow rate monitors, and the plant vent flow rate monitor (flow recorder, FR-12) once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This surveillance ensures reliability of concentration measurements in the case of a gas decay tank rupture. The frequency is based on the low probability of an uncontrolled release.
SR 39.4.3 A CHANNEL CHECK is performed every 7 days on the iodine sampler and particulate sampler; the monitors associated with these samplers are RM-24 and RM-24R, and RM-28 and RM-28R, respectively. The CHANNEL CHECK consists of verifying that the iodine cartridge and particulate filter are installed in the sample holders.

Radioactive Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation 39.4 (continued)
SURVEILLANCE SR 39.4.4 REQUIREMENTS A SOURCE CHECK is the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to a radiological source of known activity. A SOURCE CHECK is performed on the gas decay tank noble gas activity monitor prior to each release to ensure that the radiation monitor (RM-22) is capable of accurate detection and measurement. The surveillance frequency ensures that the radiation monitor is functioning prior to a release and is based on the low probability of an uncontrolled release.
SR 39.4.5 A SOURCE CHECK is performed on the plant vent system noble gas activity monitors (RM-14 and RM-14R) every 31 days as a routine check of radiation monitor functionality. The surveillance frequency is based on the low probability of an uncontrolled release.
SR 39.4.6 and SR 39.4.7 A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, as necessary, of the channel output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameter that the channel monitors.
The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass all devices in the channel required for channel OPERABILITY. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is performed on the gas decay tank noble gas activity monitor (RM-22), the plant vent system noble gas activity monitors (RM-14 and RM-14R), the plant vent system flow rate monitor (FR-12) and the iodine sampler flow transmitters (FT-813 and FT-814). These surveillances are performed every 18 months, which has been shown to be acceptable by experience.
SR 39.4.8, SR 39.4.9, and SR 39.4.10 A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST is performed on the plant vent flow recorder and its associated flow transmitters (FR-12 fed from FT-12 and FT-12R), the iodine sampler flow transmitters (FT-813 and FT-814), the plant vent system noble gas activity monitors (RM-14 and RM-14R), and the gas decay tank noble gas activity monitor (RM-22) every 92 days to ensure channel OPERABILITY. The frequency is based on operator experience and the low probability of channel inoperability concurrent with a DBA.

LESSON: EMERGENCY PLAN PROCEDURES LESSON NO.: LEP-2 EP G-1, Emer. Classification and E-Plan Activation, Continued 15 Minute Time
- The time frame for initial notification starts after the SM/ISEC:
Frame analyzes the event or conditions, and Obj 7 determines that event classification criteria are met.
- This gives the SM/ISEC a reasonable period of time (15 minutes per NRC guidance and management expectations) to assess and classify an emergency condition once indications are available to the Control Room operators that an EAL has been exceeded.
- Note that in the previous discussions there are two-15 minute times being discussed:
Goal: to have classification made within 15 minutes of event initiation.
Requirement: to have notifications performed within 15 minutes of classification.
Therefore, the time between event initiation and notification completion can be up to 30 minutes[TRP5].
Follow-up Follow-up notifications to the county and state should be made approximately Notifications every 45 minutes, even if the event classification is unchanged.
Obj 5, 6
- Keeps everyone up-to-date of changing plant conditions
- Notification still required within 15 minutes if event classification changes Emergency DCPP (and the commercial nuclear industry) uses four standard emergency Classifications classifications for categorizing events. They are (least to most severe):
- Notification of Unusual Event (NUE) or Unusual Event
- Alert
- Site Area Emergency (SAE)
- General Emergency (GE)
Unusual Event
- Off-normal conditions are in progress OR have occurred which:
(NUE) Indicate a potential degradation of level of plant safety if proper action Obj 8 is not taken.
OR If circumstances beyond the control of operating staff, making the situation more serious from a safety standpoint.
- No releases of radioactive material requiring off-site response or monitoring are expected.
