The establishment of specific reference values is Impractical for these vertical line shaft centrifugal pumps.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDmONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO RELIEF REQUEST$ FOR THE COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION FOURTM TENYEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM ENCLOSURE 2 Page 2 of 6 I Service Water systems are designed such that the total pump flow cannot be adjusted to one finite value for the purpose of testing without adversely affecting the system flow balance and Technical Specification operability requirements. Thus, these pumps must be tested In a manner that the Service Water loop remains properly flow balanced during and after the testing and each supplied load remains fully operable to maintain the required level of plant safety.

2. The Service Water system loops are not designed with a full flow test line with a single throttle valve. Thus the flow cannot be throttled to a fixed reference value. Total pump flow rate can only be measured using the total system flow Indication installed on the common return header. Although there are valves in the common return line that are used for throttling total system flow during pre-service testing, use of these valves is impractical for regular testing due to the potential effect on the flow balance for the safety related loads. Each main loop of service water supplies 17-18 safety related loads, all piped in parallel with each other. The HPCS-P-2 pump loop supplies four loads, each in parallel. Each pump is independent from the others (i.e., no loads are common between the pumps). Each load Is throttled to a calculation and surveillance required flow range which must be satisfied for the loads to be operable. All loads are aligned in parallel, and all receive service water flow when the associated service water pump Is running, regardless of whether the served component Itself is in service.

During power operation, all loops (subsystems) of service water are required to be operable per Technical Specifications. A loop of service water cannot be taken out of service for testing without entering an Action Statement for a Umiting Condition for Operation (LCO) per Technical Specification 3.7.1.

3. Each loop of Service Water is flow balanced annually to ensure that all loads are adequately supplied. A flow range is specified for each load. Once properly flow balanced, very little flow adjustment can be made for any one particular load without adversely impacting the operability of the remaining loads (increasing flow for one load reduces flow for all the others). Each time the system is flow balanced, proper individual component flows are produced, but this in turn does not necessarily result in one specific value for total flow. Because each load has an acceptable flow range, overall system full flow (the sum of the individual loads) also has a range. Total system flow can conceivably be Inthe ranges of approximately 9,200 - 10,200 gallons per minute (gpm) for SW-P-1A and SW-P-1B pumps and approximately 1,112 - 1,203

REPONSE TO REQUEST FOR A00lONAL INFORMATION AELATED TO REUIEF REQUESTS FOR THE COLUMBIA GENERATNG STATION FOURTH TPN-YEAR INTERVAL INTERVICE TESTING PROGRAM ENCLOSURE 2 Page 3of6 gpm for HPCS-P-2 pump. Consequently, the requirement to quarterly adjust service water loop flow to one specific flow value for the performance of inservice testing conflicts with system design and component operability requirements (i.e., flow balance) as required by Technical Specification.

As discussed above, it is impractical to return to a specific value of flow rate or discharge pressure for testing of these pumps. As stated In NUREG-1482, Rev 2 Section 5.2, some system designs do not allow for testing at a single reference point or a set of reference points. In such cases, it may be necessary to plot pump curves to use as the basis for variable reference points. Code Case OMN-16, "Use of a Pump Curves for Testing," Is included in draft Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.192, "Operations and Maintenance Code Case Acceptability, ASME OM Code." Flow rate and discharge pressure are measured during inservice testing and compared to an established reference curie. Discharge pressure instead of differential pressure is used to determine pump operational readiness as described in Relief Request RP01. All requirements specified in Code Case OMN-16 will be followed in developing and implementing the reference pump curves. The following information is provided for existing pump curves developed during the third ten year test interval.

1. SW-P-1A and SW-P-1B were replaced with new pumps In2005 and HPCS-P-2 was replaced in 2008. A preservice test as required by the ASME OM Code was performed and a reference pump curve (flow rate vs. discharge pressure) was established for all three pumps using the preservice test data.

2. Pump curves are based on five or more test points beyond the flat portion of the curve (between 6000 gpm and 10200 gpm for SW-P-1A and 18 pumps and between 650 and 1200 gpm for HPCS-P-2 pump). The pumps are being tested near full design flow rate.

3. Temporary test gauges (t 0.5% full scale accuracy) were installed to take discharge pressure test data in addition to plant installed gauges, and Transient Data Acquisition System (TOAS). TOAS data averages 100 readings with a reading taken each second.

All Instruments used either met or exceeded the Code required accuracy for Group A and comprehensive pump test.

4. The reference pump curves are based on flow rate vs. discharge pressure.

Acceptance criteria curves are based on differential pressure limits given in Table ISTB-5121-1 for applicable test type. Setting the Code Acceptance Criteria on discharge pressure using differential limits is slightly more conservative for these pump installations with suction lift (Relief Request RP01). See the attached sample SW-P-IA pump Acceptance Criteria sheet for Group A test Area 1-2-5.6 is the acceptable range for pump performance. Area 3-4-5-6 defines the Alert Range, and the area outside 1-2.3-4 defines the required Action Range.

S. Similar reference curves are used for comprehensive pump tests using the applicable acceptance criteria and instrument accuracy and range requirements.

6. Only a small portion of the established reference curve is being used to bind the flow rate variance due to flow balancing of various system loads. See the attached sample SW-P-1 A pump Acceptance Criteria sheet for Group A test.

7. A single reference value shall be assigned for each vibration measurement location.

The selected reference value shall be at the minimum data over the narrow range of pump curves being used as required by Code Case OMN-16.

8. When the repair, replacement, or routine servicing of a pump may have affected a reference curve, a new reference curve shall be determined, or the existing reference curve reconfirmed, in accordance with pars. 1643310 of Code Case OMN-16.

9. If it is necessary or desirable, for some reason other than that stated in para. 16-3310 of Code Case OMN-16, to extend the current pump curve or establish an additional reference curve, the new curve(s) must be determined in accordance with para. 16-3320 of Code Case OMN-16.

The design of the Columbia. Generating Station Service Water system and the Technical Specification requirements make it Impractical to adjust system flow to a fixed reference value for inservice testing without adversely affecting the system flow balance and Technical Specification operability requirements. The proposed alternate testing using a reference pump curve for each pump provides adequate assurance and accuracy in monitoring pump

Alternatively, the flow rate shall be varied until the differential pressure equals the reference point and the flow rate determined and compared to the reference flow rate value.

The establishment of specific reference values Is impractical for these pumps.

Reference values are defined as one or more fixed sets of values of quantities as measured or observed when the equipment is known to be operating acceptably. All subsequent test results are to be compared to these reference values. Based on operating experience, flow rate (independent variable during inservice testing) for these pumps cannot be readily duplicated with the existing flow control systems. Flow control for these systems can only be accomplished through the operation of relatively large motor operated globe valves as throttling valves. Because these valves are not equipped with position indicators which reflect percent open, the operator must repeatedly jog the motor operator to try to make even minor adjustments inflow rate. These efforts, to exactly duplicate the reference value, would require excessive valve manipulation which could ultimately result In damage to valves or motor operators.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR AD)ITIONAL INFORMATION RELATED TO RELIEF REQUESTS FOR THE COLUUmA GENERATING STATION FOURTH TEN-YEAR INTERVAL INDERVICE TESTING PROGRAM ENCLOSURE 3 Page 3 of 8 As discussed above, it Is Impractical to return to a specific value of flow rate, or differential pressure for testing of these pumps. As stated in NUREG-1482, Rev. 2 Section 5.2, some system designs do not allow for testing at a single reference point or a set of reference points. In such cases, it may be necessary to plot pump curves to use as the basis for variable reference points. Code Case OMNI1-, Vse of a Pump Curves for Testing," Is included in draft Revision 1 of RG 1.192, "Operations and Maintenance Code Case Acceptability, ASME OM Code."

Since the independent reference variable (flow rate) for these pumps is Impractical to adjust to a fixed reference value and requires excessive valve manipulation, the maximum variance shall be limited to

• 2% of the reference value. Thus, flow rate shall be adjusted to be within

• 2% of the reference flow rate and the corresponding differential pressure shall be measured and compared to the reference differential pressure value determined from the pump reference curve established for this narrow range of flow rate. Slope of the pump reference curve is not flat even over this narrow range of flow rate. Assuming the flow rate to be fixed over this narrow range can result In additional error in calculating the deviation between the measured and reference differential pressure and at times this deviation can be non.

conservative. Since the dependent variable (differential pressure) can be assumed to vary linearly with flow rate In this narrow range, establishing multiple reference points in this narrow range is similar to establishing a reference pump curve representing multiple reference points. This assumption of linearity between differential pressure and flow rate is supported by the manufacturer pump curves In the stable design flow rate region.

The following elements are used in developing and implementing the mfernce pump curves, These elements follow all the requirements of Code Case OMN-16.

I. RHR-P-28 was replaced with a new pump in 2013. A preservice test as required by the ASME OM Code was performed and a reference pump curve (flow rate vs.

differential pressure) was established for this pump using the preservice test data. A simliar reference pump curve (flow rate vs differential pressure) has been established for RHR-P-2A and RHR-P-2C pumps from data taken on these pumps when they were known to be operating acceptably. These pump curves represent pump performance almost identical to manufacturers test data.

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADOIIIONAL 0IFORMATiON RELATED TO RELIEF REQUESTS FOR THE COLUMA GENERATING STATION FOURTH TEN-YEAR INTERVAL INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM ENCLOSURE 3 Page 4 of 8

2. For RClC-P-1, a variable speed drive pump, flow rate Is set within

• 2% of the reference flow rate and the reference curve is based on speed with acceptance criteria based on differential pressure. This Is done because of the impracticality of setting speed to a specific reference value to achieve the desired flow rate and pump discharge pressure. See the attached sample RCIC-P-1 pump Acceptance Criteria sheet for Group B test. Additionally, evaluation of the manufacturer pump data, preoperational and special test data used to establish the pump reference curve indicates insignificant change Indifferential pressure with small variation in flow rate.

3. HPCS-P-1 was replaced with a new pump In 2007. A preservice test as required by the ASME OM Code was performed and a reference pump curve (flow rate vs.

differential pressure) was established for this pump using the preservice test data.

4. For LPCS-P-1 pump, the reference pump curve is based on preoperational testing using 5 or more test points beyond the flat portion of the curve.

S. Residual Heat Removal (AHR), High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) pump curves are based on five or more test points beyond the flat portion of the curve. These ECCS pumps have minimum flow rate requirements specified In Technical Specifications and are being tested near these flow rates.

6. Temporary test gauges (* 0.5% full scale accuracy) were Installed to take suction and discharge pressure test data in addition to plant Installed gauges and Transient Data Acquisition System (TOAS). TDAS data averages 100 readings with the readings taken at one second intervals. All instruments used either met or exceeded the Code required accuracy for applicable Group A, Group B and comprehensive pump test.

7. Review of the pump hydraulic data trend plots Indicates close correlation with the established pump reference curves, thus further validating the accuracy and adequacy of the pump curves to assess pumps operational readiness.

8. Acceptance criteria curves are based on differential pressure limits given in applicable Table ISTB-51 21-1 or Table ISTB-5221 -1. See the attached sample RHR-P-2A pump Acceptance Criteria sheet for Group A test. Area 1-2-5-6 is the acceptable range for pump performance.

Page 5 of8 Area 3-456.6 defines the Alert Range and the area outside 1-2-3-4 defines the required Action Range. A similar sample RCIC-P-1 pump Acceptance Criteria sheet for Group B test is also attached.

9. Similar reference curves will be used for comprehensive pump tests using the applicable acceptance criteria and instrument accuracy and range requirements.

10. Only a small portion of the established reference curve Is being used to accommodate flow rate variance. See the attached sample pump Acceptance Criteria sheets.

11. A single reference value shall be assigned for each vibration measurement location.

The selected reference value shal be at the minimum data over the narrow range of pump curves being used as required by Code Case OMN-16.

12.When the repair, replacement, or routine servicing of a pump may have affected a reference curve, a new reference curve shall be determined, or the existing reference curve reconfirmed, in accordance with para. 16-3310 of Code Case OMN-16.

13.1f it is neceary or desirable, for some reason other than that stated in pare. 16-3310 of Code Case OMN-16, to extend the current pump curve or establish an additional reference curve, the new curve(s) must be determined In accordance with pare. 16-3320 of Code Case OMN-16.

Walft* Imeam Due to Impracticality of adjusting independent variables (flow rate, and speed for variable drive RCIC pump) to a fixed reference value for Inservice testing without system modifications, alternate testing to vary the variables over a very narrow range (up to

• 2% of reference values) and using pump reference curves for this narrow range is proposed.

Alternate testing using a reference pump curve for each pump provides adequate assurance and accuracy In monitoring pump condition to assess pump operational readiness and will adequately detect pump degradation. Alternate testing will have no adverse impact on plant and public safety.
