Divider Barrier Integrity B 3.6.14 B 3.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS B 3.6.14 Divider Barrier Integrity BASES BACKGROUND The divider barrier consists of the operating deck and associated seals, personnel access doors, and equipment hatches that separate the upper and lower containment compartments. Divider barrier integrity is necessary to minimize bypassing of the ice condenser by the hot steam and air mixture released into the lower compartment during a Design Basis Accident (OBA). This ensures that most of the gases pass through the ice bed, which condenses the steam and limits pressure and -
temperature during the accident transient. Limiting the pressure and temperature reduces the release of fission product radioactivity from containment to the environment in the event of a OBA.
In the event of a DBA, the ice condenser inlet doors (located below the operating deck) open due to the pressure rise in the lower compartment.
This allows air and steam to flow from the lower compartment into the ice condenser. The resulting pressure -increase within the ice condenser causes the intermediate deck doors and the door panels at the top of the condenser to open, which allows the air to flow out of the ice condenser into the upper compartment. The ice condenses the steam as it enters, thus limiting the pressure and temperature buildup in containment. The divider barrier separates the upper and lower compartments and ensures that the steam is directed into the ice condenser. The ice is adequate to absorb the initial blowdown of steam and water from a OBA. The additional heat loads that would enter containment over several hours following the initial blowdown would come from the residual heat in the reactor core, the hot piping and components, and the secondary system, including the steam generators. During the post blowdown period, the Air Return System (ARS) returns upper compartment air through the divider barrier to the lower compartment. This serves to equalize pressures in containment and to continue circulating heated air and steam from the lower compartment through the ice condenser, where the heat is removed by the remaining ice.
Divider barrier integrity ensures that the high energy fluids released during a DBA would be directed through the ice condenser and that the ice condenser would function as designed if called upon to act as a passive heat sink following a OBA.
- McGuire Units 1 and 2 B 3.6.14-1 Revision No. 145
Divider Barrier Integrity B 3.6.14 BASES / .
APPLICABLE Divider barrier integrity ensures the functioning of the ice condenser to SAFETY ANALYSES the limiting containment pressure and temperature that could be experienced following a OBA. The limiting DBAs considered relative to containment temperature and pressure are the loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and the steam line break (SLB). The LOCA and SLB are analyzed using computer codes designed to predict the resultant containment pressure and temperature transients. DBAs are assumed not to occur simultaneously or consecutively.
Although the ice condenser is a passive system that requires no electrical power to perform its function, the Containment Spray System, RHR Spray System, and the ARS also function to assist the ice bed in limiting pressures and temperatures. Therefore, the postulated DBAs are analyzed, with respect to containment Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems, assuming the loss of one ESF bus, which is the worst case single active failure and results in the inoperability of one train in the Containment Spray System, RHR Spray System, and the ARS.
Additionally, a 5.0 ft 2 opening is conservatively assumed to exist in the divider plate in the LOCA and SLB OBA analyses.
The limiting OBA analyses (Ref. 1) show that the maximum peak containment pressure results from the LOCA analysis and is calculated to be less than the containment design pressure. The maximum peak containment temperature results from the SLB analysis and is discussed in the Bases for LCO 3.6.5, "Containment Air Temperature."
In addition to calculating the overall peak containment pressures, the OBA analyses include calculation of the transient differential pressures that occur across subcompartment walls during the initial blowdown phase of the accident transient. The internal containment walls and structures are designed to withstand these local transient pressure differentials for the limiting DBAs.
The divider barrier satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 (Ref. 2).
LCO This LCO establishes the minimum equipment requirements to ensure that the divider barrier performs its safety function of ensuring that bypass leakage, in-the event of a OBA, does not exceed the bypass leakage assumed in the accident analysis. Included are the requirements that the personnel access doors and equipment hatches in the divider barrier are OPERABLE and closed and that the divider barrier seal is properly installed and has not (j~graded with time. An exception to the requirement that the doors be closed is made to allow personnel transit entry through the divider barrier. The basis of this exception is the
- McGuire Units 1.and 2 B 3.6.14-2 Revision No. 145
Divider Barrier Integrity B 3.6.14 BASES LCO (continued) assumption that, for personnel transit, the time during which a door is open will be short (i.e., shorter than 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 /> for Condition A). The divider barrier functions with the ice condenser to limit the pressure and temperature that could be expected following a OBA.
APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a OBA could cause an increase in containment pressure and temperature requiring the integrity of the divider barrier.
Therefore, the LCO is applicable in MODES ,1, 2, 3, and 4.
, The probability and consequences of these events in MODES 5 and 6 are low due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. As such, divider barrier integrity is not required in these MODES.
ACTIONS If one or more personnel access doors or equipment hatches (other than one pressurizer enclosure hatch addressed by Condition D) are open or inoperable, except for personnel transit entr}i, 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> is allowed to restore the door(s) and equipment hatches to OPERABLE status and the closed position. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time is consistent with LCO 3.6.1, "Containment," which requires that containment be restored to OPERABLE status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. Personnel access doors or equipment hatches open or inoperable in accordance with Condition A are not included in the ice condenser steam bypass analysis that provides the basis for Condition D. Conditions A and D are each implemented independently.
Condition A has been modified by a Note to provide clarification that, for this LCO, separate Condition entry is allowed for each personnel access door or equipment hatch.

The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> Completion Time is consistent with LCO 3.6.1, which requires that containment be restored to OPERABLE status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.
C.1 and C.2 If divider barrier integrity cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in McGuire Units 1 and 2 B 3.6.14-3 Revision No. 145
Divider Barrier Integrity B 3.6.14 BASES ACTIONS (continued) which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to 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 to 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 plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
If a pressurizer enclosure hatch is open or inoperable, 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> are allowed to restore the hatch to OPERABLE status and in the closed position. The 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> completion time is based on the need to perform inspections and maintenance in the pressurizer compartment during power operation, as well as for personnel safety and radiation safety considerations. An analysis has been performed that shows an open hatch of 7.5 ft 2 bypass area during a OBA does not impact the design.
pressure or temperature of the containment. The 7.5 ft 2 bypass is in addition to the total operating deck leakage discussed. in Ref. 1 (approximately 5 ft 2). There is one pressurizer enclosure hatch on Unit 1
- and there are three on Unit 2. These hatches are concrete plugs which must be removed with a crane to access the pressurizer cavity. The analyses supporting Condition D for steam bypassing the ice condenser and the heavy load drop apply to the removal of one pressurizer enclosure hatch at a time. The analyses were both done in a manner that bounds the largest of the hatches. The analysis supporting Condition D for steam bypassing the ice condenser does not include the personnel access doors or equipment hatches open or inoperable in accordance with Condition A. Conditions A and D are each implemented independently.
SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.14.1 REQUIREMENTS Verification, by visual inspection, that all personnel access doors and equipment hatches between the upper and lower containment compartments are closed provides assurance that divider barrier integrity is maintained prior to the reactor being taken from MODE 5 to MODE 4.
This SR is necessary because many of the doors and hatches may have been opened for maintenance during the shutdown.
SR 3.6.14.2 Verification, by visual inspection, that the personnel access door and equipment hatch seals, sealing surfaces, and alignments are acceptable provides assurance that divider barrier integrity is maintained. This

Divider Barrier Integrity B 3.6.14 BASES SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (continued) inspection cannot be made when the door or hatch is closed. Therefore, SR 3.6.14.2 is required for each qoor or hatch .that has been opened, prior to the final closure. Some doors and hatches may not be opened for long periods of time. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.6.14.4 Conducting periodic physical property tests on divider barrier seal test
- coupons provides assurance that the seal material has not degraded in the containment environment, including the effects of irradiation with the reactor at power. The required tests include a tensile strength test. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.6.14.5 Visual inspection of the seal around the perimeter provides assurance that the seal is properly secured in place. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
