NUCLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 18 of 63 Revision Conduct of Shift Operations 40DP-9OP02 53 3.6 Licensed Operator Watchstanding Proficiency 3.6.1 A VALID NRC Operators License exists when the holder of that license is current in Licensed Operator Continuing Training (LOCT).
3.6.1.1 An Operator's training is current when all required material in an LOCT Training Cycle is completed. If any LOCT material is missed during a training cycle, make-up training shall be completed no later than 6 weeks from the end of the training cycle that the training was part of.
3.6.1.2 If the operator fails to make up the classroom training and simulator training within 6 weeks of the end of the training cycle, the operator shall be removed from license duties until the make-up training is completed.
3.6.2 An ACTIVE NRC Operators License exists when an operator has a valid license and has actively performed the functions of an operator or senior operator on a minimum of five 12-hour shifts per calendar quarter.
- Actively Performed means that the operator held a position on the shift crew that required the individual to be licensed as defined in the Technical Specifications and that the operator carried out and was responsible for the duties covered by that position.
- For maintenance of an active SRO license any shift spent in either the SM or CRS position will be credited.
- An SRO must stand at least one complete shift per calendar quarter in an SRO-only supervisory position. The remainder of the shifts required in a calendar quarter may be performed in either a credited SRO or RO position.
- For time to be credited it must be a continuous shift (i.e., 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of watch shift responsibilities spent on each of 3 different shifts does not equal one 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> shift).
- Overtime may be credited if the overtime work is in a position appropriately credited for watchstanding proficiency. Overtime as an extra helper after the official watch has been turned over to another watchstander does not count toward proficiency time.
NUCLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 19 of 63 Revision Conduct of Shift Operations 40DP-9OP02 53 3.6.3 A third Reactor/Control Operator in excess of those required by technical specifications may be credited with license proficiency hours if the following administrative controls are in place:
- The licensee shall list all licensed shift crew positions, including titles, descriptions of duties and which positions are required by technical specification.
- For those shift crew positions in excess of those required by technical specifications, a description of how the position is meaningfully and fully engaged in the function and duties of the license position required by technical specification.
- If theses administrative controls are not met, the individual shall not be given watch-standing proficiency credit for shift positions in excess of technical specification requirements.
3.6.3.1 At the conclusion of an individual shift, the Shift Manager will determine and concur that the 3rd RO was engaged in the functions and duties of a licensed operator in the Control Room and therefore can utilize the shift time towards their proficiency. This determination will be made by verifying that the 3rd RO:
- Completed the full 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> shift
- Participated in shift turnover both at the beginning and end of shift
- Participated in licensed operator functions and performed licensed operator duties in the Control Room. Examples of these functions and duties include:
- Control Board manipulations and monitoring,
- Performing peer checks and Independent Verifications,
- Responding to alarms or off-normal conditions,
- Providing briefings as needed,
- Performing permit and clearance activities.
3.6.3.2 Should the Shift Manager determine that the 3rd RO did not satisfy these requirements, then their completed shift time could not be used towards their proficiency requirement.
3.6.4 Only one excess Reactor/Control Operator above the minimum licensed positions required by technical specifications can be credited per shift per Unit.
NUCLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 20 of 63 Revision Conduct of Shift Operations 40DP-9OP02 53 3.6.5 Each licensed individual is responsible to report the completion of the license proficiency hours each quarter to the Nuclear Training department, Operations Training. Failure to complete this notification will result in the suspension of qualifications for licensed duties.
3.6.5.1 Open CORA\AutoLog.
3.6.5.2 From the Tools Menu, select the License Hot Time Tracking Tool.
3.6.5.3 Generate an Individual Licensed Operator Proficiency report and 3.6.5.4 Send it to the Training System Administrator, Nuclear Training Department, Operations Training.
This report should be sent as early in the quarter as possible after you have completed the required proficiency time, to allow enough time for the data to be entered into training records.
3.6.6 An individual is classified active for the current calendar quarter if they meet any one of the following conditions:
- The individual meets the requirements of step 3.6.2.
- The individual has completed the Operator License Reactivation Job Qualification Card in the current or previous calendar quarter.
(NLR10-xx-001, xx references the revision number.)
- The individual has been issued (not renewed) an Operators License (RO or SRO) in the current or previous calendar quarter.
3.6.7 Each individual attempting to reactivate an inactive but valid license shall complete the Operator License Reactivation Job Qualification Card prior to resuming licensed operator duties.
3.6.8 An SRO being reactivated to assume an SM position shall function under instruction as the SM.
3.6.9 An SRO being reactivated to assume the CRS position can function under instructions as either the CRS or SM.
3.6.10 SRO licensed personnel functioning as ROs being reactivated to assume an SRO position shall perform 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> under direction of the SM/CRS prior to assuming an SRO position.
3.6.11 An SRO/RO that reactivates their SRO license also reactivates their ability to perform RO duties.

NUCLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 243 of 335 Revision RCS Drain Operations 40OP-9ZZ16 71 Appendix E Page 3 of 4 Volume to be drained = Initial Volume minus Final Volume.
Example: Draining the RCS from 50% Pzr level to Mid-Loop condition using gallons:
Ivol - Fvol = Voldrained: 106,100 - 32,800 = 73,300 gallons drained.
D HUT level: 73,300 divided by 12,704 gal/foot = + 5.8 ft. increase in HUT level.
D RWT level: 73,300 divided by 7,538 gal/% = + 9.7% level increase in RWT level.
Using the previous example another way to determine the HUT/RWT level increase is to use the starting RCS inventory at 50% Pzr level, 8.4 ft. for the HUT or 14.1% for the RWT then subtract the final RCS inventory value at midloop, 2.6 ft. for the HUT or 4.4% for the RWT, or 8.4 ft. minus 2.6 ft. = 5.8 ft. level increase in HUT and 14.1% minus 4.4 = 9.7% level increase in RWT level. These level increases are in addition to existing tank levels.
Volume to be drained may be determined several hours prior to actual drain. Under these circumstances, normal plant operations such as VCT divert/makeup may cause a change in assumed initial conditions. The result is an unexpected volume change. Document assumed initial and final levels below:

Radiation Exposure Permit Standard Instructions All RCA entrants shall comply with the following PVNGS REP Standard Instructions except where REP provides specific alternate direction:
Monitoring and Protective Equipment:
Dosimetry - EPD/TLD Protective Clothing -
- RP Authorized Work at CA Boundaries -
- HCA / HPCA entry - Double Set Lab Coat and Gloves
- Wet work - Wet set
- CA entry - Full Set General:
- Review current radiological survey data for work area prior to entry.
- Notify RP prior to contaminated system opening, contaminated surface destroying activities, or insulation removal.
- Stand by in low dose "Cold Area" when not actively involved in job.
- To limit exposure to airborne radioactive material when working in High Contamination Areas, apply engineered controls as directed by RP. This typically involves misting work area surfaces and maintaining damp while working.
- Work at CA Boundaries (e.g. Removing Tools, Equipment or Materials from CAs) requires RP Authorization.
- Radiation Workers PC requirements may be modified with RP Leader authorization.
- Personnel may enter a HCA / HPCA wearing a modified Double Set (consisting of a Full Set with outer shoe covers and gloves) to perform minor tasks with low probability of personnel contamination as determined and authorized by an RP Leader prior to each entry.
- Within contaminated areas, RP authorization required for body position other than standing.
RP personnel shall observe the following REP Standard Instructions in addition to the above:
- EPD dose rate setpoint may be adjusted as determined prudent by RP Leader based on review of work plan and radiological conditions. RP Leader to document all setpoint adjustments in RP electronic log.
- Ensure worker dosimetry is positioned appropriately to monitor highest whole body exposure (Ref.
- Task Specific TEDE /ALARA Screening required for: Work area conditions >500,000 dpm/100cm2
(), >500 dpm/100cm2 (), Contaminated system breach, Contaminated surface destroying activity or where a job/work area air sample yields >1.0 DAC (excluding Noble gas).
- RP Technicians entering an HPCA / HCA to perform RP monitoring tasks with low probability of personnel contamination may wear a modified Double Set consisting of a Full Set with outer shoe covers and gloves.
- RP Technicians, meeting the experience requirements of Section 4.5.2 of ANSI/ANS 3.1-1978, may relax RP Technicians Protective Clothing requirements for minor tasks with low probability of contamination.
- If individual is unable to self monitor (read dosimeter) due to any instance including but not limited to:
telemetric dosimeter use, re-positioning of dosimetry by RP, multi-dosimeter use, or outer set of PCs being worn, then RP will assume exposure monitoring for that individual (Ref: 75RP-9RP16, 75RP-9RP29, 75DP-0RP02).

EMERGENCY RESPONSE Section Two NOTE:
There are no REP requirements contained in this section. The following is provided as supplemental background information.
Operating Experience / Lessons Learned FUEL BUILDING RADIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AFTER LOCA After a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) a Recirculation Actuation Signal (RAS) will occur. Highly radioactive water will fill the suction lines to the Safety Injection pumps. Back-leakage from the suction lines past check valves to the Refueling Water Tank is assumed and this will cause radioactive material to build up in the Refueling Water Tank. The Refueling Water Tank is vented to the Fuel Building normal ventilation. The normal building ventilation exhaust is isolated after a Safety Injection Actuation Signal so the Refueling Water Tank radioactive material (airborne nobles gasses and iodines) will migrate into the Fuel Building and remain there.
After a design basis LOCA, the disposition to CRDR 97-Q-0265 indicates that the following tasks may need to be performed in the Fuel Building:
- Obtaining iodine and particulate samples from RU-145/146
- Restart of the spent fuel pool (PC) cooling pumps
- Alignment of EW to the spent fuel pool heat exchangers
- Makeup to the spent fuel pool
- Periodic checks of spent fuel pool temperature and level Very high airborne levels may build up in the Fuel Building after a LOCA and continue to rise for several days after shutdown. Calculation 13-NC-CH-0314 rev 3 indicates 10,000 Rem/hr Thyroid CDE, 80 Rem/hr skin dose, and 7 Rem/hr TEDE are possible 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> after shutdown.

NUCLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 22 of 335 Revision RCS Drain Operations 40OP-9ZZ16 71 4.0 PERSONAL INDOCTRINATION 4.1 Plant activities may preclude the performance of specific steps in the order presented. The Shift Manager may re-sequence or delay steps as necessary to accomplish the procedure objectives, except for those portions of the procedure requiring the securing of plant draining at specified plant elevations since these will be used to allow for entire RCS pressure equalization/level stabilization.
4.2 The analyses that supports SDC operation at reduced flow rate (3780 gpm) have been revised to reduce conservatism and permit more expedient entry into Mid-Loop.
- Table 2.8.1 has been added to the Safety Analysis Operational Data portion of the Core Data Book which defines the criteria necessary to reduce SDC flow.
Supplements to Table 2.8.1 for specific unit and outage applications may be applicable and incorporated in the SAOD.
- SAOD Table 2.8.1 is applicable anytime the plant is in mode 5 or mode 6 and it is required to reduce SDC flow. The table is independent of RCS level.
- This table shows the required number of hours post shutdown, as a function of Essential Cooling Water temperature, after which a single train of SDC can provide sufficient cooling at reduced flow (i.e.: 3780 gpm), to maintain the RCS at or below 135°F in accordance with LCO 3.4.8, LCO 3.9.4, and LCO 3.9.5.
Flow may be reduced to 3780 gpm to preclude vortexing at the SDC suction nozzle during Mid-Loop operations.
- Normal SDC flow is defined by Tech Specs as 3780 to 5000 gpm (indicated). In most situations, SDC flow is maintained at or near 4,000 gpm. If Operations had 1 train SDC available and elected to reduce flow to 3780 shortly after shutdown, it is likely that RCS temperature will increase. Compensatory action is to increase SDC flow.
- There are some situations where SDC flow could NOT be significantly increased. For example we have administrative controls preventing SDC flow greater than 4150 gpm while in mid-loop. The analyses supporting the data in the SAOD demonstrate that the SDC will provide sufficient cooling capacity thereby providing some assurance that the plant will be cooled in lieu of increasing flow.
- By meeting the SAOD Essential Cooling Water temperature/time post shutdown requirements, there is assurance that the core will be maintained at refueling mode temperature (135°F) in the unlikely event that SDC flow is reduced and Operations does NOT have to ability to increase SDC flow to mitigate an increasing RCS temperature.

By: Arshad Taufiq Safety Analysis Operational Data SAOD Unit 3 Manual 3990 MWt Rev 4 Reviewer: Ness Kilic Page 5 of 43 1.0 OBJECTIVE The Safety Analysis Operational Data (SAOD) manual provides information to Operations and Outage Planning for certain outage shutdown activities. Specifically, this manual provides outage decay heat values, reactor coolant system expected heat up rates, outage time to boil values, outage time to core uncovery values, makeup flow for boiloff, minimum time to reduced flow shutdown cooling operations, and RCS forced flow and RWT temperature requirements to maintain sub-cooled conditions following a loss of shutdown cooling (HPSI once-through cooling).
This information is provided to clarify the time constraints needed for the refueling outage activi-ties that are adversely affected by decay heat following reactor shutdown. It is essential that these constraints be observed in order to ensure that the unit remains in an analyzed condition for postu-lated events involving a loss of shutdown cooling at reduced inventories.
Questions concerning SAOD Sections 1.0 through 2.7 should be referred to the Transient Analysis section leader. Questions regarding SAOD Sections 2.8 through 2.9 should be referred to the Design Mechanical NSSS section leader.
2.0 METHOD OF SOLUTION AND RESULTS The SAOD manual simply documents the results from various calculations and analysis packages in a convenient document readily accessible to Operations. No calculations are performed in this manual and no computer codes are used for this manual. The assumptions and input data are docu-mented in the source calculations which are referenced with each table provided.
2.1 Decay Heat Constraints for Outages The following constraints are required to support the assumptions in the Loss of Shutdown Cooling (LSDC) analyses. (Reference 2, 7, & 12)
- The pressurizer manway may be removed to provide a hot leg vent path, when the reactor vessel is full (120 ft. elevation) and core decay heat rate is < 20 MW. At 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> post-shutdown, the decay heat rate is not expected to exceed 20.021 MW for a rated thermal power of 3990 MWt. A LSDC event with the pressurizer manway removed and Reactor Coolant System level at 131 ft. 5 inches (~ 50% pressurizer level) would not result in uncovering the reactor core for at least a 1-hour period.
50% for cold core post refueling conditions).
- 1-hour after SDC is lost, it is assumed that operators will have reestablished either SDC or forced flow cooling of the RCS using High Pressure Safety Injection (HPSI). The 1-hour period is based on the anticipated maximum time that it may take to place a Gas Turbine Generator (GTG) in service.
- 1. Even though 20.02 is slightly larger than 20 MW, the 0.1% difference is considered negligible in comparison to the analytical conservatisms described in reference 2.

- The reactor vessel may be drained down (to the 1038 elevation), when the pressur-izer manway is removed and the core decay heat rate is < 20 MW. This occurs at a time > 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> after shutdown. With the pressurizer manway removed and the RCS drained to the 1038 elevation (with water in the steam generator tubes), a LSDC event would not result in uncovering of the reactor core for at least 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, even if no credit was given for gravity feed or HPSI during that hour.
- The reactor vessel may be drained down to midloop (1016 to 1031) when the pressurizer manway is removed and the core decay heat is < 16 MW. A decay heat of 16 MW occurs 87 hours0.00101 days <br />0.0242 hours <br />1.438492e-4 weeks <br />3.31035e-5 months <br /> after plant shutdown. With the Unit at midloop no credit can be given for liquid in the SG tubes. A LSDC event would not result in uncovering of the reactor core for at least 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> period.
- The steam generator manways may be removed and nozzle dams installed when the core decay heat is < 16 MW. This occurs at t > 87 hours0.00101 days <br />0.0242 hours <br />1.438492e-4 weeks <br />3.31035e-5 months <br /> after shutdown. If a LSDC event were to occur while the plant was in this configuration, then operator intervention would be critical to achieve a 1-hour coping period. For this level of decay heat the analysis assumes the following:
1 For hot core mid-loop the hot leg steam generator (SG) manways should be removed close to the same time without delay (minimizing the time reduces steam entrainment concerns) with the man-way for the hot leg used for gravity feed removed last.
2 The hot leg nozzle dams should be installed sequentially without delay (minimizing the time reduces potential steam entrainment inventory losses) with the nozzle dam on the leg used for gravity feed installed first.
3 Both cold leg nozzle dams should be installed on a SG before installation of the hot leg dam. Addi-tionally, the last nozzle dam installed should be on the hot leg opposite that to which RWT gravity feed is aligned. Installing cold leg dams prior to hot leg dams ensures a flow path for HPSI once through cooling.
- After nozzle dam installation, the RCS may be reflooded as high as elevation 120 ft.
(approximately 20% pressurizer level). At a decay heat rate of 16 MW and nozzle dams installed, a LSDC event will not result in an RCS peak pressure that exceeds the nozzle dams rating of 50 psig (i.e., ASME B&PV Code Level D Service Limit), if RCS level is at or below the 120 ft. elevation. This conclusion is valid both for early initiation of cold leg HPSI flow (at 10 minutes), or for hot leg gravity feed for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> followed by cold leg HPSI.
- If plant operators initiate gravity feed from the RWT to the RCS in response to a LSDC event, the DC-powered valve (J-SIC-UV-0653 or J-SID-UV0654, depending upon the train selected) should initially be throttled approximately 30% open and then throttled as needed so that RWT level decreases approximately 3% every 15 minutes.
- No cold leg openings (e.g. RCP impeller work or shaft replacement, RCS cold leg check valves SIEV2x7) before decay heat rate is < 14 MW. This occurs around 118 hours0.00137 days <br />0.0328 hours <br />1.951058e-4 weeks <br />4.4899e-5 months <br /> after shutdown.
- RCP seal work when RCS level is above the bottom of the hot leg is allowed only if main-tenance uses a shaft blocking device to prevent lifting the shaft and creating a large cold leg breach.

Decay heat power is based on Branch Technical Position 9-2 utilizing a 550 EFPD cycle length at 100% power. (3990 MWt)(Reference TA-13-C00-1999-009)
Time to boil is based on the time for the water in the vessel to reach 210 0F. This is a function of decay heat, mass of water in vessel and initial RCS bulk temperature (inlet Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchanger temperature). It is determined by subtracting the RCS bulk temperature from 210 0F , and then dividing by the heatup rate.
Heatup rate is determined by dividing the decay heat by the specific heat capacity for water and by the mass of water available in the vessel at the start of the event.
Time to core uncovery is conservatively assumed to be the amount of time it takes to boil off the water volume below the bottom of the hot leg and above the top of the core. The time associated with the pressurization effects, which result in water lost out the cold leg opening, is neglected. The water lost out the cold leg opening is conservatively assumed to result in a water level at the bottom of the hot leg. Thus, time to core uncovery is a function of decay heat, this volume of water and the pressure over the water. Time to core uncovery does not include the time associated with reaching the boiling temperature.
Makeup rate is the amount of flow required to reach the core to compensate for water loss through boil off. Note that this is the volume that must be delivered to the core in order to maintain constant inventory. Flow diverted out any cold leg opening must be accounted for (i.e. flowrate indications may not be actual flowrates reaching the core).

Notes: (1) Caution; No cold leg openings (i.e. RCP impeller work or shaft replacement) before 14 MW (Source TA-03-C09-2001-004)
(2) Table values can be used to estimate time to core uncovery after boiling begins assuming no leg openings. RCP seal replacement with the RCP shaft on the stop seal is allowed as long as a blocking device is installed on the shaft in the event LSDC occurs. This condition prevents a large cold leg breach.

These results are based in part on a computer analysis using the RETRAN code.
Decay heat power is based on Branch Technical Position 9-2 utilizing a 550 EFPD cycle length at 100% power. (3990 MWt)(Reference TA-13-C00-1999-009)
Time to boil is based on the time for the water in the vessel to reach 210 0F. This is a function of decay heat, mass of water in vessel and initial RCS bulk temperature (inlet Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchanger temperature). It is determined by subtracting the RCS bulk temperature from 210 0F, and then dividing by the heatup rate.
Heatup rate is determined by dividing the decay heat by the specific heat capacity for water and by the mass of water available in the vessel at the start of the event.
Time to core uncovery is based on the time it takes the water above the top of the core to drop to the top of the core. Time to core uncovery is the time for the mass above the core to boil off and does not include the time associated with reaching the boiling temperature. Time to core uncovery is a function of decay heat, this volume of water, and the pressure over the water.
Makeup rate is the amount of flow required to reach the core to compensate for water loss through boil off. Note that this is the volume that must be delivered to the core in order to maintain constant inventory. Flow diverted out any cold leg opening must be accounted for (i.e. flowrate indications may not be actual flowrates reaching the core).

These results are based in part on a computer analysis using the RETRAN code.
Decay heat power is based on Branch Technical Position 9-2 utilizing a 550 EFPD cycle length at 100% power. (3990 MWt)(Reference TA-13-C00-1999-009)
Time to boil is based on the time for the water in the vessel to reach 210 0F. This is a function of decay heat, mass of water in vessel and initial RCS bulk temperature (inlet Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchanger temperature). It is determined by subtracting the RCS bulk temperature from 210 0F, and then dividing by the heatup rate.
Heatup rate is determined by dividing the decay heat by the specific heat capacity for water and by the mass of water available in the vessel at the start of the event.
Time to core uncovery is conservatively assumed to be the amount of time it takes to boil off the water volume below the bottom of the hot leg and above the top of the core. The time associated with the pressurization effects, steaming, entrainment, and surge line flooding are neglected. Thus, time to core uncovery is a function of decay heat, this volume of water and the pressure over the water.
Time to core uncovery does not include the time associated with reaching the boiling temperature.
Makeup rate is the amount of flow required to reach the core to compensate for water loss through boil off. Note that this is the volume that must be delivered to the core in order to maintain constant inventory. Flow diverted out any cold leg opening must be accounted for (i.e. flowrate indications may not be actual flowrates reaching the core).

These results are based in part on a computer analysis using the RETRAN code.
Decay heat power is based on Branch Technical Position 9-2 utilizing a 550 EFPD cycle length at 100% power. (3990 MWt)(Reference TA-13-C00-1999-009)
Time to boil is based on the time for the water in the vessel to reach 210 0F. This is a function of decay heat, mass of water in vessel and initial RCS bulk temperature (inlet Shutdown Cooling Heat Exchanger temperature). It is determined by subtracting the RCS bulk temperature from 210 0F, and then dividing by the heatup rate.
Heatup rate is determined by dividing the decay heat by the specific heat capacity for water and by the mass of water available in the vessel at the start of the event.
Time to core uncovery is based on the time it takes the water above the top of the core to drop to the top of the core. Total time to uncover is the summation of Time to Boil plus the time for the mass above the core to boil off. This also considers the pressurization effects, steaming, entrainment and surge line flooding.
Time to core uncovery is conservatively assumed to be the amount of time it takes to boil off the water volume below the bottom of the hot leg and above the top of the core. The time associated with the pressurization effects, steaming, entrainment, and surge line flooding are neglected. Thus, time to core uncovery is a function of decay heat, this volume of water and the pressure over the water.
Time to core uncovery does not include the time associated with reaching the boiling temperature.
Makeup rate is the amount of flow required to reach the core to compensate for water loss through boil off. Note that this is the volume that must be delivered to the core in order to maintain constant inventory. Flow diverted out any cold leg opening must be accounted for (i.e. flowrate indications may not be actual flowrates reaching the core).

Information concerning the existing decay heat load currently in the SFP can be found in the unit specific As-Left Decay Heat Projection analysis maintained by Reactor Engineering. The decay heat loads for the reactor core (for periods of time during or after core offload) are included in SAOD sections 2.2 through 2.6.
Once the decay heat has been determined, the Heatup Rate (HUR) in 0F/hr can be calculated from:
kW ( BTU ) ( hr )
DH 1000 ----------- 3412 -------------------------------
MW t kW HUR = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2, 114, 850lbm C p Time to Boil (TTB) in hours can be calculated from:

F Table 2.8.1 presents the EW cooling water temperature and post-shutdown time criteria prior to reducing SDC system total flow rate to 3780 gpm (indicated) to support reduced inventory conditions while providing sufficient cooling capacity to maintain the RCS temperature at or below 135 0F. Specifically, this table correlates the time after shutdown where the core decay heat is equal to or less than the cooling capacity of the SDC system at the corresponding EW cooling water temperature and with the RCS temperature at 135 0F.
The data presented in Table 2.8.1 is predicated on stable RCS temperature prior to reducing SDC flow rate. Upon reduction of SDC flow rate and prior to reducing RCS water level, Operations shall monitor RCS temperature to verify that sufficient cooling capacity exists to maintain RCS temperature at or below 135 0F. Engineering recommends that RCS temper-ature be monitored for a period of not less than one hour (reference letter 448-00525).
Data presented in Table 2.8.1 is based on the SDC performance analyses contained in PVNGS calculation 13-MC-SI-231 for a rated thermal power of 3990 MW. EW temperature instrument uncertainty included in Table 2.8.1 is based on total loop uncertainty for instru-ments 1,2,3JEWNTI083/84 as indicated on the ERFDADS display. Verification of actual EW temperature by alternative means using appropriate M&TE is considered acceptable.

These criteria must be satisfied prior to reducing RCS water level to ensure that sufficient cooling is available to maintain the core covered and subcooled by HPSI forced cooling in the event of a loss of shutdown cooling. The RWT temperature requirements in Table 2.9.1 ensure that the total heat dissipated by a single train of HPSI injection is equal to or greater than the corresponding core decay heat at the specified time after shutdown.
The data presented in Table 2.9.1 is based on the forced flow cooling analysis contained in PVNGS calculation 13-MC-SI-231 for a rated thermal power of 3990 MW. RWT temper-ature instrument uncertainty included in Table 2.9.1 is based on total loop uncertainty for instruments 1,2,3CHNTI200 as indicated on the ERFDADS display. Operations will establish the need to circulate the RWT volume to ensure that the tank is thermally well mixed.

This document satisfies the design control requirements but is not a QR analysis package. This doc-ument is a collection of data from QR analyses. Changes to these referenced analyses require the performance of the impact review and other analysis package requirements (i.e. AD documentation, etc.).
During the revision of SAOD Unit 1 (Rev 2) where the document was updated to incorporate the information from 3876 Mwt configuration to 3990 Mwt (same scope as this analysis), Operations, Outage Management, OPS standards, Design Engineering, System Engineering, and NFM were contacted to determine the potential impacts. No impact to any outside organization or procedure resulted for the Unit 1 SAOD revision. Likewise, no impacts result from this revision. Also no SABD exists for the SAOD.

By: Arshad Taufiq Safety Analysis Operational Data SAOD Unit 3 Manual 3990 MWt Rev 4 Reviewer: Ness Kilic Page 41 of 43 Appendix A 10 CFR 50.59 Applicability Determination This document satisfies the design control requirements but is not a QR analysis package. This doc-ument is a collection of data from QR analyses. Changes to these referenced analyses require AD documentation and are performed under those analyses packages. For example Reference 1 per-formed applicability determination for change of that document. Per 93DP-0LC17 Section 2.1.1, Relocating design information that already exists in design output documents to another location is considered editorial in nature and there is no requirement to review the 50.59 or 72.48 screen-ing/evaluation performed to place the information in the design documents. Thus this analysis does not require a 10 CFR 50.59 Screening of Procedure.
In addition, the other changes specified in this analysis revision are considered administrative and do not require a 10 CFR 50.59 Screening per 93DP-0LC17, section 2.1.3. These applicable changes include reformatting the analysis documentation to comply with current NFM design and procedures 05DP-0NF09 and 05DP-0NF22.
This Applicability Determination was performed by Arshad Taufiq Appendix B Reload Verification Not Applicable since the information provided in SAOD is not part of the Reload process Appendix C Design Document Interfaces and Associations Not Applicable since this document is a collection of data from QR analysis. Changes to these referenced analyses require the performance of the design verifications e.g. see Ref. 1 Appendix C for design document interface summary. Procedure 05DP-0NF09, Step 3.2.4.3 says in part, Asso-ciations are not required at this time, but may be specified for use in NFM at the SLs discretion.
NFM-TA section leader has concurred that the Interface & Associations are not required for this revision.

noble gas environment).
3.2.5.3 TLDs should be placed under the protective clothing if all skin is covered (i.e., full PCs plus respirator).
3.2.5.4 Special dosimetry shall be worn as specified on the REP.
- SIDs should be worn on the same approximate location of the body as the special dosimetry.
3.2.5.5 SIDs should be worn so that they are easily retrieved and read.
3.2.5.6 The neutron TLD should normally be worn face out on the front and center of the body between the thigh and the head.
- The neutron TLD should be held tightly to the body by either a pouch or belt, or by use of tape.
3.2.6 Personnel are responsible for the safekeeping of their dosimetry devices and shall not tamper with nor cause the dosimetry to be exposed to radiation except during the performance of work requirements. Examples include: do not pass dosimetry device (TLD or EPD) through the security x-ray and do not wear dosimetry following the administration of radiopharmaceuticals unless directed by Radiation Protection.
(CRAI 3165248)
- Lost or damaged dosimetry shall be immediately reported to NUCLEAR ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 11 of 50

- relocate to a low dose area
- contact RP to determine requirements for remaining in the RCA (e.g., reset/replace dosimeter, have TLD read).
3.2.7 When working in a contaminated area, dosimetry devices should be worn so as to prevent them from becoming contaminated.
- Dosimetry devices should be protected from contamination (both radiological and non-radiological) as much as practical, without interfering with the devices proper operation. Whirl pack or zip-lock bags are normally used for this purpose.
- When practical, dosimetry should not be covered up such that it cannot be seen and/or heard or impair self-monitoring of exposure by the worker.
- In the event that dosimetry is worn under protective clothing impairing the workers ability to see and/or hear the dosimetry, RP Personnel shall assume responsibility for monitoring the workers exposure. (ICR 00483 and ICR 00432) 3.2.8 Exposures received by personnel monitored by dosimetry devices, as outlined in this section, should be recorded under the applicable REP number. ( RCTS2 009656-01, RG 8.10R1R 2.A )

Radiation Exposure and Access Control 75DP-9RP01 Page 47 of 50 Rev 17 Appendix G Page 1 of 2 Embryo/Fetus Dose Assessment Regulatory Guide 8.36 clearly recognized that the calculation of prenatal radiation dose from internal radioactivity has many associated difficulties. When the regulatory guide was first published, it was expected that embryo/fetus dose assessments would evolve over the years, but little has been written since then. In ICRP 56, it states that embryo/fetus dose can be approximated by the dose to the uterus: i.e., the dose to the embryo/fetus due to internal activity in the mother can be estimated using the committed dose equivalent (CDE) to the uterus. For the primary radionuclides encountered at PVNGS, the uterine CDE is approximately equal to or less than the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) to the mother.
Therefore, control of the mothers internal dose would provide the control of the embryo/fetus dose.
Further, if an intake occurred that was estimated to be greater than 50 mrem, an outside expert in the field could be contacted.
The uptake of radionuclides by a pregnant worker, however, is a rare event. Site RP procedures are designed to minimize uptakes through engineering controls, decontamination, occupancy factors, and workplace airborne evaluations. Monitoring is required at 10% of the limit, i.e., if an individual is likely to exceed 50 mrem of internal dose to the embryo/fetus. As stated above, control of internal dose to the declared pregnant women (DPW), or declared fertile woman (DFW) will control the dose to the embryo/fetus. It has been concluded that DPWs and DFWs are NOT likely to exceed 10% of the limit.
The following PVNGS historical information is provided to support that conclusion:
- No radworker has incurred 20 DAC-hours in a year since 1994. Onsite efforts have been directed to the reduction of internal exposure through workplace monitoring, engineering controls, and occupancy factors.
- Most intakes at PVNGS have followed the ingestion pathway. Therefore, an intake of 20 DAC-hrs would usually not approach 50 mrem CEDE and an embryo/fetus would not be expected to receive 50 mrem.
- DFWs and DPWs have less opportunity for uptake because they work in less hazardous and lower dose rate environments through general cooperation between the supervisor and the worker.
- Federal Guidance Report No. 11 shows that dose factor for the uterus is approximately equal to or less than the effective dose factor for the whole body for the radionuclides typically encountered at PVNGS.
- Internal exposure tracking is performed for all radworkers. Therefore, although it is not required monitoring, internal exposures to a DPW or DFW would be tracked.
To assess an internal activity at time of declaration, the DFW / DPW should be whole body counted at the time of declaration and their TLD should be processed. All subsequent intakes would be tracked and further external dose would be with a new TLD.
Radiation Exposure and Access Control 75DP-9RP01 Page 48 of 50 Rev 17 Appendix G Page 2 of 2 Embryo / Fetus Dose Assessment From NRC Regulatory Guide 8.36, Radiation Dose to the Embryo/Fetus, July 1992 C.2 - Simplified Method for Determining Embryo/Fetus Dose from Material Intakes Based on these premises (uterus dose similar to fetal dose and the data in Revision 1 to NUREG/CR-5631 (Ref. 2)), a set of dose factors has been developed for use in calculating an embryo/fetus dose.
Except for those radionuclides addressed in Revision 1 to NUREG/CR-5631 (Ref. 2), the dose factors presented in Appendix A to this guide represent the committed dose equivalent to the uterus per introduction of unit activity into the first transfer compartment (i.e., blood) of the woman.1 For the radionuclides in Revision 1 to NUREG/CR-5631, the dose factors in Appendix A represent the maximum dose equivalent to the embryo/fetus for the gestation period from the introduction of unit activity into the first transfer compartment of the woman at any time during the gestation period.
1
- The committed dose equivalent factors for the uterus presented in Appendix A were calculated based on the modeling employed during the development of the ICRP 30 (Ref. 3) data. It is recognized that the metabolism of the pregnant woman may not be adequately represented by the standard metabolic model. However, partly because of the lack of more definitive data, this modeling has been used for determining the dose commitment factors for the uterus that may be used for evaluating compliance with the embryo/fetus dose limit.

Scenario 2 Overview Event 1 CO shift Turbine Cooling Water Pumps from A running to B running.
Event 2 Low failure of the Volume Control Tank level transmitter CHN-LT-227. This causes the charging pump suction to automatically shift from the Volume Control Tank to the Refueling Water Tank (resulting in boration of the RCS). The operator is directed by the alarm response to hold open the VCT outlet valve and hold closed the valve from the Refueling Water Tank while an auxiliary operator opens the breakers to the valves.
The crew may also reduce turbine load depending on how long the boration goes before the valves are repositioned.
Event 3 RU-29 (Control Room intake ventilation radiation monitor) fails high causing a Control Room Essential Filtration Actuation Signal (CREFAS). The crew should determine the rad monitor has failed high (confirmed by the Effluent Technician) and bypass RU-29 on the BOP-ESFAS panel behind the control boards.
Event 4 EW A pump fails to auto start on the previous CREFAS signal. The CRS should address Tech Specs and declare EW A inoperable as well as various other cascading Tech Specs.
Event 5 Steam Generator #1 Tube leak. The CRS should respond by entering Abnormal operating procedure 40AO-9ZZ02 and addressing Tech Specs. The crew should address charging pumps and letdown. The RO will perform a leakrate determination and the CO will minimize the release to environment.
Event 6 Loss of PKC-M43 (125 VDC Motor Control Center). The CRS should respond by entering Abnormal operating procedure 40AO-9ZZ13. The CO should place CEDMCS in standby and place CEAC 2 inop codes in the Core Protection Calculators.
Event 7 SG Tube leak degrades. The CRS should direct starting all available charging pumps, isolating letdown and tripping the reactor since pressurizer level continues to decrease.
The crew performs the Standard Post Trip Actions. After the SPTAs are complete, the CRS should enter 40EP-9EO04, SGTR and initiate and cooldown and depressurization of the RCS. Once below 540 °F, the crew should isolate the affected SG.
Event 8 When the Safety Injection Actuation Signal actuates, the Train A High Pressure Safety Injection pump will fail to auto start. The RO should recognize this and manually start the pump.
Event 9 After the trip, the Tave from the Reactor Reg System will fail low. This will require action by the CO to establish feed to the Steam Generators.

Scenario 2 Overview Event 1 The CO shifts the Electro Hydraulic Control (CO) pumps from B running to A running.
Event 2 One detector on Control Channel #2 fails low (resulting in an indication of 50%
power). The CRS should enter 40AO-9ZZ16 to address the failure. The CO will select the unaffected channel on the Reactor Reg Test Panel behind the control boards.
The CO will also address the alarm on the Digital Feedwater Control System (DFWCS) and place Control channel #2 in maintenance and remove the A-TUN lockout on the DFWCS.
Event 3 A small RCS leak (~ 16 gpm) occurs. The CRS should enter 40AO-9ZZ02 to address the leak. The RO will perform a leakrate calculation.
Event 4 A Loss of Power (LOP) undervoltage relay fails on the class Train A 4160 kV bus.
The crew addresses the alarm response procedure and Tech Specs. The CO should place the LOP/LS relay in bypass on the BOP-ESFAS panel behind the control boards.
Event 5 A Main Steam Isolation Valve fails closed. The CO addresses the alarm response procedure which directs a down power to 65%. The RO will borate and the CO will reduce turbine load.
Event 6 Stator Cooling Water Pump B trips with a failure of the A pump to auto start. The CO should address the alarm response and start the A pump within 70 seconds or a turbine trip will occur.
Event 7 The RCS leak degrades causing a LOCA. The crew performs the Standard Post Trip Actions (SPTAs).
Event 8 After the LOCA, a failure of PPS to initiate a Safety Injection Actuation Signal, Containment Isolation Actuation Signal and Main Steam Isolation Signal occurs. The crew should recognize the signals did not occur and manually initiate these actuations.
Event 9 After the crew enters the LOCA procedure, Containment Spray B will trip (CS A is tagged out). This will cause a loss of safety function CTPC. The CRS should transition the Functional Recovery Procedure and align a LPSI pump to supply Containment Spray.

Scenario 3 Overview This is a 2% power scenario.
Event 1 The CO will shift the Main Feed Pump B lube oil pumps.
Event 2 A pressurizer spray valve will fail open. The RO should address the alarm response procedure and take the selector switch for spray valves from both to the E spray valve position.
Event 3 Inadvertent Train B AFAS. This will require the CRS to enter 40AO-9ZZ17. The CO should override and close the Auxiliary Feedwater Valves to the SG. This will also require the CRS to address Tech Specs for the second Aux Feed pump tagged out.
The crew may have to reduce turbine load to clear the Core Operating Limit Supervisory System alarm due to a small power increase.
Event 4 Seal Injection flow controller for RCP 2A fails closed. The RO should address the alarm response procedure and place the controller in manual.
Event 5 A Loss of Power (LOP) to PBB-S04 (Train B class 4.16 kV bus) occurs. The DG starts but the output breaker will not close. The CRS enters 40AO-9ZZ12 and the crew emergency stops the B DG. A loss of letdown will probably occur. The CRS will address Tech Specs.
Event 6 CEAs will commence withdrawing. The crew should recognize there is no demand for the CEAs to withdraw. The CRS should enter 40AO-9ZZ11. The crew should place CEDMCS in standby and recognize that the CEAs are still withdrawing. The CRS should direct a reactor trip.
Event 7 On the trip, multiple CEAs will not insert, requiring the RO to borate per Standard Appendix 103.
Event 8 A loss of vacuum occurs. This will cause a loss of the SBCS and remove any availability of the Main Feedwater Pumps.
Event 9 After the crew enters the Rx Trip procedure, a trip of AFN-P01 will occur requiring the CRS to enter the Functional Recovery Procedure and energize PBB-S04 to recover Aux Feedwater Pump B.

Enters the Functional Recovery Procedure (40EP-9EO09) and performs the following:
- Ensures the event is being classified.
- Directs the CO to ensure SG sample valves are open.
- Directs Chemistry to perform their Abnormal Occurrence Checklist for the FRP.
- Identifies the success paths to be used to satisfy each safety function. MVAC-3 and HR-1 should be jeopardized.
Maintenance of Vital Auxiliaries (MVAC-3)
- Opens the Placekeeper
- Informs the Energy Control Center of Blackout
- Directs the CO to actuate an MSIS.
NOTE The SBOGs cannot supply Units 2 and 3 simultaneously but can supply Unit 1 and 2 or Unit 1 and 3. All operations involving the SBOGs will be coordinated by Unit 1.
