Hope Creek Page 2 of 85 Rev. 82 SHUTDOWN FROM RATED POWER TO COLD SHUTDOWN START TIME DATE BY TERMINATION TIME DATE BY COMPLETION TIME DATE BY 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides guidelines for the shutdown of the plant from rated power to a Cold Shutdown condition.

2.0 PREREQUISITES None 3.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 3.1 Administrative 3.1.1.

This procedure is to be used as a guideline for the shutdown of the plant from rated power to a Cold Shutdown condition.

IF it is desired to shut down the plant from other than rated power using this procedure, the proper entry point should be determined by the SM/CRS. It is NOT required that each step be performed in precise sequence as long as the steps are performed in a timely manner in keeping with the intent of this procedure. Changes in sequence must be evaluated for potential reactivity challenges. Any deviations and/or limitations of this procedure shall be justified and documented on 1, Operational Limitations Comment Page.

3.1.2.

The Flowcharts are to be used as an extension of the procedure.

The procedure user should use a marker to record information directly on the Flowcharts, and the Flowcharts should be updated simultaneously with the body of the procedure.

3.1.3.

This procedure may be used to perform a controlled shutdown where the Reactor is placed in a Hot Shutdown condition prior to reaching a low power level provided the sequence of Reactor operation has been evaluated as part of a preplanned evolution.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 3 of 85 Rev. 82 3.1.4.

IF, while executing this procedure, conditions warrant placing the Reactor in Hot Shutdown without all preparatory actions completed OR this procedure is being used as part of a preplanned evolution to place the Reactor in a Hot Shutdown condition prior to reaching a low power level, THEN final mode change checks should be made in accordance with Step 5.1.29.B, and the Mode Switch may be placed in Shutdown in accordance with Step 5.1.29.D. Once the plant has been stabilized, all remaining steps in this procedure should be reviewed and completed as required.

3.1.5.

Control rod insertion and cooldown of the Reactor Coolant System can be performed simultaneously.

WHEN this occurs, the cooldown rate AND neutron flux should be closely monitored for any sudden changes.

3.1.6.

IF control rod insertion is stopped prior to all rods being inserted, re-criticality must be anticipated due to cooldown. The Reactor Operator shall NOT be distracted for any reason until Rx power is stable, or all rods are fully inserted.

3.1.7.

The following Abnormal Operating Procedures may be applicable during a plant Shut-down, and should be reviewed as applicable:

  • HC.OP-AB.RPV-0001(Q), Reactor Power.
  • HC.OP-AB.RPV-0003(Q), Recirculation System.
  • HC.OP-AB.RPV-0004(Q), Reactor Level Control.
  • HC.OP-AB.IC-0004(Q), Neutron Monitoring.

3.1.8.

Values of Megawatts Electric (MWe), throughout this procedure are approximate. These values can be affected by Seasonal conditions and/or Plant conditions, such as Degraded Vacuum Operations.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 4 of 85 Rev. 82 3.2 Technical Specification 3.2.1.

WHEN a thermal power change exceeding 15% of rated thermal power occurs within a one-hour period, the Chemistry Department shall be notified to obtain the required samples as specified in Technical Specification 3/4.4.5, and the Radiation Protection Department shall be notified to obtain the required samples as specified in ODCM Table 4.11.2.1.2-1.

3.2.2.

The oxygen concentration limits of Technical Specification 3.6.6.2 shall be complied with.

3.2.3.

Vessel metal temperatures above and below the water level and Reactor Coolant System Temperature/Pressure Data should be monitored to ensure the TS Cooldown limits are NOT exceeded while raising Reactor Vessel Level.

3.2.4.

Technical Specification 4.6.1.3.c Primary Containment Air Lock operability requirements (and its associated note) shall be observed.

3.2.5.

With NO Reactor Recirculation Pumps in service, AND the Reactor is Critical; the Mode Switch shall be LOCKED in Shutdown. [CD-354F]

3.3 Reactor 3.3.1.

The single rod scram test switches are intended for test purposes and should NOT be used to bypass the requirements for banked control rod movement below the RWM low power setpoints. These test switches are NOT to be used for power control or rapid power reduction purposes.

[CD-251C]

3.3.2.

Directions from Reactor Engineering should be adhered to when any steps which require the movement of control rods are performed. ALL power changes should be done with directions provided by Reactor Engineering or designated representative.

[CD-523B]

3.3.3.

IF immediate Reactor power reduction is required AND there is no dedicated reactivity plan THEN IMPLEMENT the Standard Power Reduction Instructions.

[CD-393B]

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 5 of 85 Rev. 82 3.3.4.

IF the Crossflow Correction Factor is Applied / Automatic (Mode A) and is frozen, operation at Licensed Thermal Power Limit may continue for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with the frozen Correction Factor. Within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, one of the below actions must be completed.

  • The problem causing the freeze is resolved and the Correction Factor is unfrozen (i.e. remain in Mode A).
  • A manual Correction Factor is implemented (i.e. transition to Mode B).
  • The Correction Factor is toggled to Not Applied (i.e.

transition to Mode C).

IF plant conditions change significantly during this period, THEN the validity of the frozen Correction Factor should be evaluated.

3.3.5.

When the OPRMs are Operable, Operation within the OPRM Enable Region of the Power to Flow Map will allow a Reactor Scram due to OPRM input to RPS.

3.3.6.

When the OPRMs are Inoperable AND operating in or near Region 2 of the Power to Flow Map, nuclear instrumentation should be closely monitored for Reactor Core instability.

[CD-354F]

3.3.7.

Reactor operation shall be consistent with the Power to Flow Maps on Attachment 5.

3.3.8.

WHEN repositioning IRM RANGE SELECT Switches, only one switch should be operated at a time.

3.3.9.

All IRM RANGE SELECT Switches should be in RANGE 10 prior to IRM insertion.

3.3.10.

WHEN reducing Thermal Power, the RWM Low Power Alarm Point (LPAP) should be reached by 17% power, but may be reached at a higher power level. The Low Power Set Point (LPSP) shall be reached by 8.6% power, but may be reached at a higher power level.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 6 of 85 Rev. 82 3.3.11.

A rise in RPV Level could occur as the RPV depressurizes due to flashing in the Feedwater lines. This is caused when flow from the Feedwater system is no longer required to make up for steam loss from the RPV, which allows the Feedwater to cool at a slower rate than the RPV. As the RPV depressurizes, this higher temperature water expands as it changes phase, causing flow from the Feedwater system to the RPV.

If a Steam Bubble has formed in the Feedwater lines (as indicated by a sudden rise in RPV level), Feedwater Flow should not be initiated until the Bubble has condensed.

The recovery of RPV level, in the absence of water loss from steaming or letdown, would be an indication that the Bubble has condensed.

3.3.12.

The IRM/APRM Recorders have dual scales (0 - 40 and 0 -125), but are only configured for the 0 - 125 scale.

During Startup, the IRM signals are sent to the recorder at either the 0 - 40 or the 0 - 125 scale, based on the position of the IRM Range Switch. At power, the APRM signals are sent to the recorders using the 0 - 125 scale only. The recorders do not change scale, therefore, the 0 - 40 scales, when using the IRMs, will not be accurate on the recorders.

3.4 Balance of Plant 3.4.1.

During low flow conditions Feedwater flow to the Reactor should be maintained relatively constant to minimize thermal transients on the Reactor Vessel. Opening a bypass valve may be necessary to achieve steady Feedwater flow. [CD-786D]

3.4.2.

To avoid thermal stress to the Feedwater Nozzles, maximum RWCU flow should be maintained, WHEN a low Feedwater flow condition exists. [CD-786D]

3.4.3.

A 150°F/hr Cooldown rate on the Main Turbine first stage shell temperature is NOT to be exceeded.

3.4.4.

The Mechanical Vacuum Pump(s) are NOT to be started OR operated if Reactor Thermal Power is above 5%. [CD-015B]

3.4.5.

The Main Turbine should NOT be operated with exhaust pressure above the variable alarm setpoint. Under low-load conditions, exhaust pressure in excess of 4.0 Inches Hg Abs should be avoided.

3.4.6.

This procedure does NOT require that the Reactor Building Sample Station Drains be diverted to CRW; however, if it is deemed necessary to do so, Condenser Vacuum should be monitored when repositioning 1-RC-V005.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 7 of 85 Rev. 82 3.4.7.

At low loads, backpressure should be maintained 1.5 Hg Abs, (degraded vacuum) to mitigate shell and rotor distortion, which could result in a rub induced vibration condition. Degraded vacuum should be established gradually over a 2 Hour period, at approximately 25% Reactor Power. Vibration should be closely monitored when establishing degraded vacuum operation.

3.4.8.

Extended low power operation with 3 or more Station Service Water pumps in service may result in overflowing the Cooling Tower Basin.

WHEN operating in this mode, the Cooling Tower Blowdown Flow should be monitored for extended High Flow conditions (Ex: PNL 10C604, 0SP-RI-4168)

AND the Cooling Tower Basin Level monitored locally.

The SSW pump(s) should be secured as necessary.

3.5 Cooldown 3.5.1.

During Rx depressurization, flashing may occur in the RWCU System piping, causing spurious Hi Delta Flow isolation signals or RWCU Pump trips on low flow to occur.

3.5.2.

During plant Cooldown/Depressurization, similar Rx water level instrumentation should be monitored for significant deviation, indicating possible reference line de-gassing. Also, all maintenance activities which have the potential for draining the Rx Vessel should be terminated.

3.5.3.

Excessive cooldown rates may be experienced with small amounts of decay heat present. Removal of loads from the Main Steam Header OR closing the MSIVs and using the Main Steam Line Equalizer Valve AB-HV-F020 will help to control cooldown rate.

3.5.4.

During plant Cooldown the following guidance should be adhered to in order to minimize shutdown radiation levels from CRUD release and transport: [PR 960508151]

A.

Recirculation Pumps should be maintained in operation as long as possible in order to assist in CRUD Burst Cleanup B.

RWCU Filter Demin flow should be maximized to remove CRUD released during the cooldown. (90 gpm Demin flow (single pump ops) may be the max flow while Depressurizing/Cooldown, due to suction venturi flashing causing inadvertent pump trips.)

C.

Chemistry Department should be notified of changes in plant condition that may reduce CRUD removal.

(i.e., RWCU flow changes)

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 8 of 85 Rev. 82 3.5.5.

Reactor Pressure and/or Level control may be significantly challenged following a Reactor Shutdown in which the Plant Heat Loads exceed the Decay Heat generation. Isolation of the MSIVs and cycling of the SRVs may be required to control Reactor Pressure. Consideration should be given to the implementation of a Post Scram Cooldown Strategy with low Decay Heat Load.

3.6 Core Circulation 3.6.1.

During plant start up, run the Reactor Recirc Pumps at vessel head pressure for the minimal possible time. In addition, maintain pump speed as low as practical, avoiding speeds >30%

and oscillations. If plant conditions will result in extended pump operation, greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, then consideration should be given to removing the pumps from service if a plant startup is not in progress. Plant Engineering should be consulted prior to exceeding this limit. [CD-781A, PR 961227150]

3.6.2.

Operation of the Reactor Recirc Pump above 200 psig results in better seal operations. At approximately 200 psig the Reactor Recirc Pumps experience thrust changeover from lower thrust shoes to upper thrust shoes. As reactor pressure is decreased during shutdown, the plant should not be allowed to "hover" in this range.

NOTE Effective Core Flow shall be the core flow that would result if both recirculation loop flows were assumed to be at the smaller value of the two loop flows.

3.6.3.

Recirculation loop flow mismatch shall be maintained within:

[T/S 3.4.1.3]

A.

5% of rated core flow with effective core flow 70% of rated core flow.

B.

10% of rated core flow with effective core flow < 70% of rated core flow.

3.6.4.

The time when neither the RHR System (operating in the Shutdown Cooling Mode) nor the Reactor Recirculation System is in operation should be minimized.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 9 of 85 Rev. 82 3.6.5.

During the transition from normal Reactor Recirculation System operations to establishment of Shutdown Cooling, only the AP201 Reactor Recirc Pump may be left in operation until the BP202 (only) RHR Pump is operating satisfactorily, and then only until the required B RHR Loop flow of approximately 10,000 gpm is achieved. This limitation does NOT apply when Noble Metals Chemical Application is to be performed during plant shutdown.

3.6.6.

The discharge valve of any Reactor Recirculation Pump, which is NOT in operation, should remain closed throughout Shutdown Cooling operations. IF it is required to stroke the discharge valve of an out-of-service Reactor Recirculation Pump, the pumps suction valve should be verified to be closed AND the suction valves power supply breaker cleared and tagged open.

3.6.7.

While the RHR System is operating in the Shutdown Cooling Mode of operation, any valve manipulations that would prevent ANY of the rated Shutdown Cooling Flow (approximately 10,000 gpm), from returning to the Reactor Vessel via the respective Recirculation System discharge piping and jet pumps are NOT to be performed. For example, recirculation suction and discharge valves being open simultaneously on the loop seeing shutdown cooling return flow would result in a portion of the return flow being diverted back through the Recirculation Loop in the reverse direction, rather than into the respective Jet Pumps where forced circulation through the core would occur. This limitation does NOT preclude intentionally reducing Shutdown Cooling flow to support Noble Metals Chemical Application.

3.6.8.

While the RHR System is operating in the Shutdown Cooling Mode of operation, maintaining the rated shutdown cooling flow to the Reactor Vessel via the respective Recirculation System discharge piping and Jet Pumps is essential to assure that the RHR Heat Exchanger inlet temperature is representative of actual bulk coolant temperature.

3.6.9.

WHEN the average Reactor coolant temperature is below 200°F, periods with the Reactor Vessel level 80 inches should be minimized, to ensure that natural circulation will be immediately available IF forced circulation is lost or terminated for any reason.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 10 of 85 Rev. 82 3.7 Other 3.7.1.

Cold Shutdown IST Valve Testing should commence within 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> but must commence within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> of achieving Cold Shutdown, and continue until testing is complete or the plant is ready to return to power. There is NO requirement to keep the plant in Cold Shutdown solely to complete Cold Shutdown Testing. For extended outages, testing need NOT begin in 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />, provided all valves required to be tested during Cold Shutdown will be re-tested before plant startup.

  • IF an outage lasts beyond 92 days, then all Cold Shutdown Testing shall be completed. Additionally, Cold Shutdown Testing shall continue such that all applicable components have been tested within the last 92 days of the shutdown.
  • WHEN an extended Cold Shutdown occurs which necessitates de-inerting the containment, then testing of valves that require this condition is discretionary. The length of the shutdown and the extent of other outage activities could be factored into a decision.

3.7.2.

As part of Station Blackout considerations, valves AB-HV-F020 AND AB-HV-F021 will be tagged in their required position during power operations due to their inaccessibility (Main Steam Line valves). [CD-675F]

3.7.3.

All initiating actions in EHC include a confirmation message.

Initiating actions include valve testing, setpoint changes, resetting trips, etc. Specific direction to confirm the action is not included with each procedural step to perform an action. All terminating actions in EHC do not require confirmation. Terminating actions include stopping testing, terminating cooldown, adjusting with RAISE or LOWER pushbuttons, etc.

3.7.4.

The blowdown rate from the Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU)

System should be limited to prevent RWCU Filter/Demineralizer inlet temperature from exceeding 130°F.

3.7.5.

IF this procedure is being performed in preparation for Refueling activities, THEN consideration should be given to performing controlled flushes of systems which have the potential to affect Vessel Cavity clarity during refueling operations.

(i.e., Shutdown Cooling Loops).

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 11 of 85 Rev. 82 3.7.6.

IF this procedure is being performed in preparation for Refueling activities AND the plant is in Mode 4, THEN consideration should be given to defeating the secondary containment air lock doors (Rx 102 & 145) in order to prevent damage to the doors, reduce the chance of injury and minimize transit times.

[T/S 3.6.5.1]

3.7.7.

IF CRIDS is lost during the plant shutdown THEN Field Operators shall take continuous rounds AND log keeping. Normal rounds and log keeping can resume WHEN the plant is in Hot Shutdown. [CD-491Y]

4.0 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:

None

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 12 of 85 Rev. 82 5.0 PROCEDURE 5.1 Load Reduction NOTE When lowering load IAW this procedure DO NOT exceed a rate of change of 1% per minute unless the change is due to a single control rod movement and positioning the control rod at an intermediate position is not recommended by Reactor Engineering.

[70004890, 80010404]

All power changes shall be done with directions provided by Reactor Engineering or a designated representative. Detailed directions from Reactor Engineering will be provided when performing any steps which require the movement of control rods. [CD-523B]

The Main Turbine should NOT be operated with exhaust pressure above the variable alarm setpoint. Operation at low or minimum load should be performed at the best attainable exhaust pressure. Under low-load conditions, exhaust pressure in excess of 4.0 Inches Hg Abs should be avoided.

5.1.1.

ENSURE the following steps have been completed before commencing a shutdown:

A.

System Operator notified of the shutdown.

B.

Reactor Engineer notified of the shutdown.

C.

Steam Lead Drain #4 (AC-HV-1018A) is in AUTO.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 13 of 85 Rev. 82 NOTE

  • Recirculation loop flow mismatch shall be maintained within: [T/S 3.4.1.3]
1. 5% of rated core flow with effective core flow ** greater than or equal to 70% of rated core flow.
2. 10% of rated core flow with effective core flow** less than 70% of rated core flow.
    • Effective core flow shall be the core flow that would result if both recirculation loop flows were assumed to be at the smaller value of the two loop flows.
  • If immediate Reactor power reduction is required, and there is no dedicated reactivity plan, then implement the Standard Power Reduction Instructions. [CD-393B]

CAUTION When the OPRMs are Operable, Operation within the OPRM Enable Region of the Power to Flow Map will allow a Reactor Scram due to OPRM input to RPS. Time spent operating within this region should be minimized.

When the OPRMs are Inoperable, AND operating in or near Region 2 of the Power to Flow Map, nuclear instrumentation should be closely monitored for Reactor Core instability. [CD-354F]

5.1.2.

LOWER Reactor power by reducing Reactor Recirculation Pump A and B speed IAW HC.OP-SO.BB-0002(Q),

REACTOR RECIRCULATION SYSTEM OPERATION.

5.1.3.

MAINTAIN the Load Setpoint at 100 % OR as directed by CRS.

5.1.4.

WHEN the #4 CONTROL VALVE is Full Closed, ENSURE the #4 STEAM LEAD DRAIN (HV-1018A) is OPEN.

5.1.5.

WITH Feedwater flow < 15.27 Mlbm/hr (Less Than 95% Flag set)

OR consistent with Reactor Engineering guidance, TOGGLE the Crossflow Correction Factor to "Not Applied" IAW HC.RE-RA.ZZ-0011(Q).

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 14 of 85 Rev. 82 NOTE Typically the first RFP removed from service for a planned maintenance outage has been designated for maintenance activities and may be removed from service IAW HC.OP-SO.AE-0001(Q), Feedwater System Operation. However, with this pump out of service (Tripped - yielding a 2 of 3 low control oil signal), any subsequent transient causing RPV level to reach Level 4 (30) will enforce an Intermediate Recirc Runback.

5.1.6.

At approximately 70% power PLACE the third RFP in Recirc. Operation IAW HC.OP-SO.AE-0001(Q), Feedwater System Operation.

5.1.7.

WHEN the Reactor Recirculation Pump speeds are between 45 and 50%, ENSURE the Reactor Recirculation Pumps are in Individual Manual Control IAW HC.OP-SO.BB-0002(Q),

Reactor Recirculation System Operation.

5.1.8.

At approximately 50% power, ENSURE H1CA -CA-HV-1991 is open to provide steam to the Steam Seal evaporator from Main Steam.

5.1.9.

CONTINUE reducing Reactor power as follows:

A.

IF needed, PRIOR to reducing power below 40% of rated (507 MWe) ENSURE the Throttle Pressure Set, Pressure Setpoint has been returned to normal (905 psig ) as follows:

1.

SELECT Control, Pressure Control

2.

IF needed, SELECT Ramp Rate AND ENTER desired rate.

3.

IF needed, SELECT Setpoint AND ENTER 905 psig.

4.

VERIFY Throttle Pressure Set, Pressure Reference is equal to Pressure Setpoint.

B.

LOWER Reactor Recirculation Pump A AND B speed UNTIL minimum speed is reached AND/OR C.

INSERT control rods IAW Reactor Engineering Guidance.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 15 of 85 Rev. 82 NOTE At approximately 5000 gpm RFP flow to the vessel, flow oscillations could occur due to opening of RFP Minimum Flow Control Valves. This could cause RPV Level and Power perturbations.

Placing a second RFP in recirc before removing the first RFP placed in recirc from service (i.e., tripped - yielding a 2 of 3 low control oil signal) will ensure the Intermediate Recirc Runback circuit is not activated if the associated level transient causes RPV level to reach Level 4 (30).

Designating the RFP with the lowest discharge flow to the vessel as the 2nd RFP to be placed in Recirc operation reduces the amount of flow the last in-service RFP will have to assume to maintain a steady feed rate - this will minimize the level transient.

SCP Minimum Flow Valves will begin to open when total feed and condensate flow lowers to 13,500 gpm (the sum of RFP flow to the vessel and RFP minimum flow); this will occur at approximately 30% load (380 MWe). This step contains actions at an approximate power value and may be performed earlier if SCP Minimum Flow Valve performance is challenging level control. Based on RFP capacity, this step should be performed at less than or equal to 38% power (482 MWe).

5.1.10.

At approximately 30% power, (386 MWe)

WHEN the RFP with the lowest discharge flow (flow to the vessel) approaches 5,500 gpm, THEN, PERFORM the following:

A.

PLACE the RFP operating with the lowest discharge flow to the vessel (the 2nd RFP) in Recirc operation IAW HC.OP-SO.AE-0001 (Q), Feedwater System Operation.

B.

STOP one Secondary Condensate Pump A(B,C)P137 IAW HC.OP-SO.AD-0001(Q), Condensate System Operation (leaving two Secondary Condensate Pumps in service).

C.

STOP one Primary Condensate Pump A (B, C) P102 IAW HC.OP-SO.AD-0001(Q), Condensate System Operation (leaving two Primary Condensate Pumps in service).

D.

ENSURE one RFP previously placed in Recirc operation has been removed from service IAW HC.OP-SO.AE-0001 (Q), Feedwater System Operation.

E.

MAINTAIN 1 RFP in service AND 1 RFP in Recirc operation IAW HC.OP-SO.AE-0001(Q), Feedwater System Operation.

(Continued on next page)

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 16 of 85 Rev. 82 5.1.10 (Continued)

F.

VERIFY that the "SINGLE ELEMENT CONTROL", block on the DFCS Main Screen #1 is illuminated yellow.

G.

INSTRUCT I&C and Radiation Protection to restore the MSL Rad Monitor Trip and Alarm Setpoints to normal.

NOTE When the TCV fast closure and MSV Trip Bypass Annunciator alarms, a scram may still be possible from the TCVs or MSVs. This alarm annunciates whenever any of the four channels monitoring first-stage turbine pressure drops below the setpoint. The CRIDS Digital Points (D3467 through D3470) which monitor continuity of the individual logic trains should be checked to determine when the scram function of the TCVs and MSVs is actually bypassed.

5.1.11.

At approximately 30% Rated Power:

A.

VERIFY the ROD BLOCK MONITOR, RBM A and B BYPASS light is ON.

B.

To minimize the potential for RWCU pump trips on plant shutdown, PERFORM the following:

1.

CONTACT Chemistry to reduce RWCU System flow to < 90 gpm with one Demineralizer in service while monitoring suction flow to prevent a trip on low flow.

2.

REMOVE either A or B RWCU Pump from service.

C.

Hope Creek Page 31 of 85 Rev. 82 CAUTION The Reactor Coolant System temperature and pressure requirements of Technical Specification 3.4.6.1 shall be complied with. [CD-049X]

During low-flow conditions, Feedwater flow to the Reactor should be maintained relatively constant to minimize the thermal transients on the Reactor Vessel. Opening a bypass valve may be necessary to achieve a steady Feedwater flow.

Excessive Cool-down rates may be experienced with small amounts of decay heat present. Removal of loads from the Main Steam Header or closing the MSIVs and using the Main Steam Line Equalizer valve AB-HV-F020 will help to control cooldown rate.

During plant cooldown the following guidance should be adhered to in order to minimize shutdown radiation levels from CRUD release and transport. [PR 960508151]

  • Recirculation Pumps should be maintained in operation as long as possible in order to assist in CRUD Burst Cleanup.
  • RWCU Filter Demin flow should be maximized to remove CRUD released during the cooldown. (90 gpm Demin flow (single pump ops) may be the max flow while Depressurizing/Cooldown, due to suction venturi flashing causing inadvertent pump trips.)
  • Chemistry Department should be notified of changes in plant condition that may reduce CRUD removal. (i.e., RWCU flow changes)

During Rx de-pressurization, flashing may occur in the RWCU System piping, causing spurious Hi Delta Flow isolation signals to occur.

5.2 Reactor Cooldown and Depressurization NOTE Control rod insertion and cooldown of the Reactor Coolant System can be performed simultaneously. When this occurs, the cooldown rate and neutron flux should be closely monitored for any sudden changes.

IF control rod insertion is stopped prior to all rods being inserted, re-criticality must be anticipated due to cooldown. The Reactor Operator shall NOT have any other concurrent duties during this evolution.

During plant Cooldown/Depressurization, similar Rx water level instrumentation should be monitored for significant deviation, indicating possible reference line de-gassing.

Also, all maintenance activities which have the potential for draining the Rx vessel should be terminated.

NOTE When Rx Cooldown mode is initiated with a bypass valve open, a minor Pressure Rise will occur. This pressure rise should be anticipated when placing Rx Cooldown controller in service.

Any cooldown that has occurred since the shutdown must be considered prior to establishing Rx Cooldown mode in determining initial cooldown so as NOT to exceed 90°F/hr.

Once Rx Cooldown mode is established, the INTENT is to remain on the Rx Cooldown controller for the duration of the Cooldown / Depressurization.

C.

GO TO Step 5.2.25.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 40 of 85 Rev. 82 NOTE RCIC System isolates on a RPV Pressure of 64.5 psig after a 4 second TD.

RCIC Turbine trips on a Reactor level of 54".

If the RCIC System is still required for Level/Pressure Control then Steps 5.2.21 - 5.2.25 should be performed prior to reducing pressure below 65 psig.

Main Turbine Sealing Steam will automatically transfer from Main Steam to Auxiliary Steam at approximately 60 psig.

CAUTION The time when NEITHER the RHR System (operating in the Shutdown Cooling Mode)

NOR the Reactor Recirculation System is in operation should be minimized.

During the transition from normal Reactor Recirculation System operations to establishment of Shutdown Cooling, the AP201 (ONLY) Reactor Recirc Pump may be left in operation until the BP202 (ONLY) RHR Pump is operating satisfactorily, and then ONLY until the rated B RHR Loop flow of approximately 10,000 gpm is achieved.

The discharge valve of any Reactor Recirculation Pump which is NOT in operation should remain closed throughout Shutdown Cooling operations. If it is required to stroke the discharge valve of an out-of-service Reactor Recirculation Pump, the pumps suction valve should be verified to be closed and the suction valves power supply breaker cleared and tagged open.

Level fluctuations will occur during performance of the following step.

5.2.21.

SHUT DOWN the Reactor Recirculation System as follows:

A.

IF RHR Loop A will be used for Shutdown Cooling, THEN SECURE both Reactor Recirc Pumps IAW HC.OP-SO.BB-0002(Q).

B.

IF RHR Loop B will be used for Shutdown Cooling, AND it is NOT desired to maintain a Reactor Recirc Pump in service until rated Shutdown Cooling flow is established, THEN SECURE both Reactor Recirc Pumps IAW HC.OP-SO.BB-0002(Q).

C.

IF RHR Loop B will be used for Shutdown Cooling, AND it is desired to maintain a Reactor Recirc Pump in service until rated Shutdown Cooling flow is established, THEN SECURE BP201 Reactor Recirc Pump IAW HC.OP-SO.BB-0002(Q),

AND MAINTAIN AP201 running to provide forced core flow.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 41 of 85 Rev. 82 NOTE Step 5.2.22 is to be performed only if Shutdown Cooling can NOT be placed in service AND Reactor Recirculation Pumps are NOT available; otherwise Step 5.2.22 is to be disregarded and performance continued with Step 5.2.23.

CAUTION During performance of the following step, Vessel metal temperatures above and below the water level, and Rx Coolant System Temperature/Pressure Data should be monitored to ensure the Technical Specification Cooldown limits are not exceeded. In addition, Reactor Water Cleanup should be utilized in maximum cooling.

[CD-178A, CD-693A, CD-973B]

5.2.22.

IF Shutdown Cooling can NOT be placed in service AND Reactor Recirc Pumps are NOT available, THEN slowly RAISE Reactor Vessel level to 80 inches, Reactor level shutdown range, using temperature-compensated indication, (Vessel Level Instrumentation Temperature Compensation Curves may be required), to allow for natural circulation, WHILE monitoring Reactor Coolant System Temperature/Pressure Data IAW Attachment 4 so as NOT to exceed cooldown rate. [CD-178A, CD-693A, CD-973B]

NOTE If Shutdown Cooling becomes unavailable, the plant may be placed in Alternate decay heat removal IAW Attachment 6.

CAUTION The Reactor Recirc Pump associated with the RHR Loop to be placed in Shutdown Cooling must be secured with its discharge valve shut. The discharge valve of any Reactor Recirculation Pump which is NOT in operation should remain closed throughout Shutdown Cooling operations. If it is required to stroke the discharge valve of an out-of-service Reactor Recirculation Pump, the pumps suction valve should be verified to be closed and the suction valves power supply breaker cleared and tagged open.

5.2.23.

Based on the decision made in Step 5.2.21, PLACE RHR Loop A or B in Shutdown Cooling Operation to maintain a cooldown rate 90°F/hr IAW HC.OP-SO.BC-0002(Q),

Decay Heat Removal Operation. [CD-049X]

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 42 of 85 Rev. 82 5.2.24.

WHEN RHR is in Shutdown Cooling at rated flow (approximately 10,000 gpm), IF the AP201 Reactor Recirc Pump is in service, THEN SECURE the AP201 Reactor Recirc Pump IAW HC.OP-SO.BB-0002(Q).

CAUTION The RHR Heat Exchanger inlet temperature will NOT indicate properly if BC-HV-F003A (B) is NOT open. It may be necessary to secure SACS flow and open BC-HV-F003A (B) until stable or increasing temperature indicates the correct operational condition.

A RPV Level Rise could occur as the RPV depressurizes, due to flashing in the Feedwater lines. This is caused when flow from the Feedwater system is no longer required to make up for Steam loss from the RPV, which allows the Feedwater to cool at a slower rate than the RPV. As the RPV depressurizes, this higher temperature water expands as it changes phase, causing flow from the Feedwater system to the RPV. If a Steam Bubble has formed in the Feedwater lines (as indicated by a sudden rise in RPV level), Feedwater Flow should not be initiated until the Bubble has condensed. The recovery of RPV level, in the absence of water loss from steaming or letdown, would be an indication that the Bubble has condensed.

5.2.25.

CONTINUE plotting cooldown using the appropriate RHR Heat Exchanger inlet temperature.

5.2.26.

At approximately 64.5 psig, (approx 311°F)

ENSURE the RCIC System isolates.

HC.OP-IO.ZZ-0004(Q)

Hope Creek Page 43 of 85 Rev. 82 5.2.27.

At approximately 50 psig, (approx 298°F)

AND when RHR cooling is established, ENSURE the following:

A.

Reactor pressure setpoint matched to current throttle pressure.

B.

Rx Cooldown Control OFF selected if utilized.

C.

IF desired, Bypass Valve Manual (Jack) Control may be used to continue cooldown below 50 psig as follows:

1.

SELECT Bypass Valve Manual Opening (Jack)

Control Ramp Rate AND ADJUST as desired.

2.

SELECT Bypass Valve Manual Opening (Jack)

Control Setpoint AND ADJUST as desired OR SELECT Bypass Valve Manual Opening (Jack)

Control Manual Adj. Raise / Lower required.

3.

WHEN Bypass Valve Jack is NO LONGER REQUIRED, ENSURE BPV Jack Setpoint is lowered to (minus) -0.5%.

5.2.28.

At approximately 25 psig, IF open, THEN CLOSE the Turbine Bypass Valves by ADJUSTING BPV Jack Setpoint to (minus) -0.5%.

NOTE As the Reactor pressure approaches 0 psig, the RWCU System becomes susceptible to flashing and differential flow isolation and RWCU Pump trips. This condition can persist until reactor inventory becomes subcooled. Flashing can be prevented by reducing RWCU System flow, by slowly reducing Reactor pressure and by preventing the RPV from reaching vacuum conditions.

5.2.29.

WHEN Reactor Pressure is in the range of 10 to 50 psig, THEN CLOSE MSIVs IAW HC.OP-SO.AB-0001(Q),
