2.0 AUTOMATIC ACTIONS (some or all of the following may occur)

NOTE: The time delay for initiation of these events varies considerably depending on the size of steam flow/feedwater flow mismatch and/or the size of the feedwater line break.

2.1 Actions related to a partial loss of feedwater.

2.1.1 With decreasing steam generator levels, the FWCS generates a signal opening the Main Feedwater Regulating Valves, Main Feed water Regulating Bypass Valves and increases Main Feedwater pump speed.

2.2 Actions related to a complete loss of feedwater.

2.2.1 Reactor trip on low steam generator level (23% narrow range level).

2.2.2 Turbine trip (initiated by reactor tripped signal).

2.2.3 Emergency Feedwater Actuation Signal (EFAS) actuates the emergency feedwater system at 23% narrow range steam generator level.

2.2.4 Feedwater Control System reactor tripped override closes the main feedwater valves FCV-1111 and FCV-1121, and positions the main feedwater bypass valves HV-1105 and HV-1106 for 5% flow

(% 25% open).

2.3 Actions related to a feedwater line break inside containment.

2.3.1 If containment pressure rises above 2.95 psig, a CIAS, SIAS and CCAS will be generated.

NOTE: A CIAS closes the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) and the Main.Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs).

3.0 IMMEDIATE OPERATOR ACTIONS 3.1 Without a reactor trip condition reached and no reactor trip:

3.1.1 Reduce steam flow demand and increase feedwater flow until they match.

3.2 With a reactor trip condition-reached or a reactor trip:

3.2.1 Verify all reactor trip breakers indicate open and reactor power is decreasing.

.3.2.2 Carry out immediate and subsequent post trip actions per Emergency Operating Instruction S023 3-5.1, "Emergency Plant Shutdown".

3.3 Use the public address system to notify on-site personnel concerning the nature of the emergency.

4.0 SUBSEQUENT OPERATOR ACTIONS INITIALS

  • NOTE: Anticipated Scenario Explanation:

Loss of Feedwater is characterized by a decreasing steam generator level concurrent with a gradual decrease or increase in steam generator pressure.

A feedwater line-break downstream of the feedwater line check valve causes a steam 1ine break type of RCS cool down and depressurization when steam generator level falls below the feed ring, as well as containment high pressure.

If a rapid decrease in steam generator pressure is occuring, go to Emergency Operating Instruction S023 3-5.9, "Steam Line Rupture". A feedwater line break upstream of the feedwater line check valve is not expected to cause a RCS cooldown transient, but does cause containment high pressure if the break is in containment.

CAUTION: Do not place systems in "manual" unless misoperation in "automatic" is apparent. Systems placed in "manual" must be checked frequently to ensure proper operation.

  • The initial column is an optional operator aid and is intended to be used as follows Initial each completed action. Do not write N.A. Leave blank, items that are not applicable.

4.1.1 Without a reactor trip condition reached and no reactor trip:

4.1.1.1 Reduce steam flow demand and increase feedwater flow until they match.

4.1.1.1.1 Use the CVOL to reduce turbine load. Insert CEAs and borate as necessary to follow tur bine load down with reactor power. Vary the rate of reactor power reduction as necessary to maintain Tavg approximately 50 F above Tref.

4.1.1.1.2 If feedwater pressure exceeds steam gen erator pressure, transfer the Main Feed water Valve Controller to manual and open FCV-1111 and/or FCV-1121, to increase feedwater flow to the affected steam generator.

4.1.1.1.3 If feedwater pressure is equal to or less than steam generator pressure, verify running or start all available condensate pumps, and heater driven pumps and increase the main feedwater pump speed.

4.1.1.2 If the decrease in steam generator level has been stopped, proceed as follows:

4.1.1.2.1 If feedwater control was transferred to manual, slowly restore steam generator level to \ 65% narrow range level.

4.1.2.1 Verify all reactor trip breakers indicate open and reactor power is decreasing.

4.1.2.2 With a reactor trip condition reached or a reactor trip, carry out immediate and subsequent post trip actions per Emergency Operating Instruc tion S023-3-5.1, "Emergency Plant Shutdown",

performing applicable steps concurrently with the steps in this instruction.

4.1.2.3 When steam flow is less than feedwater flow, verify steam generator levels are increasing.

NOTE: If steam generator level in one or both steam generators continues to decrease, a feedwater line break is indicated downstream of the feedwater flow sen sing orifice.

4.1 .2.3.1 If steam generator level continues to de crease, verify which steam generator has the greater feedflow in excess of steam flow mismatch, then close its main feedwater isolation valve.

SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION OPERATING INSTRUCTION S023-3-5.30 UNITS 2 and 3 EMERGENCY Page 6 of 13 Revision 1 4.0 SUBSEQUENT OPERATOR ACTIONS (Continued) INITIALS 4.1.2.3.2 If steam generator pressure rapidly decays after closing the affected steam generator(s) main feedwater isolation valve(s), a steam line rupture is indicated. Immediately go to Emergency Operating Instruction S023 3-5.9, "Steam Line Rupture" and terminate use of this instruction.'

CAUTION: Adverse containment environment may increase instrumentation in accuracies. Do not rely on single parameter indication to evaluate plant conditions. Utilize all indications and combination of indications available to verify plant status.

4.2 If containment pressure increases above 2.95 psig, verify completed or complete the following:

4.2.1 Verify Train A and Train B CIAS, SIAS and CCAS actuation alarms are received. If not, manually actuate CIAS, SIAS and CCAS.

4.2.1.1 If manual actuation from the control room is not successful, dispatch an operator to the Train A and Train B Auxilary Relay Cabinets and open the associated trip leg circuit breakers.

4.2.2 If SIAS is actuated due to containment high pressure, then when pressurizer pressure decreases to the SIAS low pressurizer pressure setpoint, stop all oper ating RCPs.

4.2.3 After any CIAS or SIAS, then within 30 minutes restore CCW to the RCPs per Emergency Operating Instruction S023-3-5.26.1, "Loss of Component Cooling Water to a RCP", performing applicable steps concurrently with the steps in this instruction.

4.2.6 When pressurizer pressure decreases below the shutoff head (% 1450 psia) of the HPSI pumps, verify HPSI flow to the cold legs from at least one train.

4.3 If a major rupture has occured in the condensate pump system, verify tripped or trip both feed pumps, trip all four (4) condensate pumps and both heater drain pumps to minimize damage to secondary components.

4.4 If all RCPs are stopped, verify natural circu lation has been established per Operating Instruction S023-3 2.31, "Natural Circulation Guidelines", performing applicable steps concurrently with the steps in this instruction.

4.5 Use Operating Instruction S023-3-2.30, "Determination of Ade quate Core Cooling", to confirm conditions are not trending toward an inadequate core cooling event, performing applicable steps concurrently with the steps in this instruction.

4.6- Secure steam generator blowdown by closing HV-4053 and HV-4054, steam generator blowdown isolation valves, to conserve steam generator water inventory.

4.7 If all feedwater (main and auxiliary) is lost to one steam gen erator and feedwater flow cannot be restored prior to the wide range level dropping below 5%, do not feed the steam generator.

NOTE: Due to potential decalibration of the wide range indication, a level below 5% is assumed to indicate a dry steam generator. Feeding a dry steam generator may result in potential thermal shock-brittle frac ture which would induce a steam generator tube rupture or more serious failure of the tube sheet.

4.8 If all feedwater (main and auxiliary) is lost to both steam generators and feedwater cannot be restored to either before wide range level drops below 5%, perform the following:

4.8.1 If three or more RCPs are operating, reduce the number of operating RCPs to one per loop, to minimize heat input into the RCS.
