0uHs B 3.7.8 BASES APPLICABLE The UHS satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.
SAFETY ANALYSES (continued)
LCO The UHS is required to be OPERABLE and is considered OPERABLE if it contains a sufficient volume of water at or below the maximum temperature that would allow the SWS to operate for at least 22 days following the design basis LOCA without the loss of NPSH, and without exceeding the maximum design temperature of the equipment served by the SWS. To meet this condition, the UHS temperature should not exceed 950F and the level should not fall below 218 ft MSL during normal unit operation.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4. the UHS is required to support the OPERABILITY of the equipment serviced by the UHS and required to be OPERABLE in these MODES.
In MODE 5 or 6, the OPERABILITY requirements of the UHS are determined by the systems it supports.
ACTIONS Notes 1 and 2 have been added in the ACTIONS to provide a clear expiration date for Conditions A and B and associated Required Actions and Completion Times, and a date that Condition C and its associated Required Actions and Completion Times will become applicable. Prior to midnight October 1, 1998, if the LCO is not met, refer to Conditions A or B and associated Required Actions and Completion Times.
On midnight October 1, 1998, and thereafter, refer only to Condition C if the LCO is not met.
A.1 When service water temperature is greater than 950F, it must be restored to 5 950F within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. This Required Action is necessary to return operation to within the design basis of the Service Water System. The 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is acceptable considering the low probability of a Design Basis (continued)

0 UHS B 3.7.8 BASES ACTIONS A.1 and A.2 (continued)
Accident occurring during this period and allows a reasonable time for diurnal effects to act upon the UHS.
The service water temperature must be monitored more frequently to ensure service water temperatures stay at or below 990F so that no loss of function occurs for equipment cooled by the UHS. The Completion Time of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> is reasonable considering the limited time that Required Action A.1 allows the service water temperature limit to be exceeded in conjunction with the generally slow rate of temperature increase experienced from thermal changes in Lake Robinson.
B.1 and B.2 If Required Actions A.1 and A.2 and Completion Times are not met or the UHS is inoperable for reasons other than Condition A, the unit must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be placed in 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 in 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 unit systems.
C.1, and C.2 If the UHS is inoperable, the unit must be placed in a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be placed in 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 in 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 unit systems.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.8.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies that adequate long term (22 day) cooling can be maintained.
The specified level also ensures that sufficient NPSH is abailable to operate the SWS pumps. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Frequency is based on operating experience related to trending of the parameter variations during the applicable MODES. This SR verifies that the UHS water level is a 218 ft MSL.
SR 3.7.8.2 This SR verifies that the SWS is available to cool the CCW System to at least its maximum design temperature with the maximum accident or normal design heat loads for 30 days following a Design Basis Accident. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Frequency is based on operating experience related to trending of the parameter variations during the applicable MODES.
