  • 7.4 SYSTEMS REQUIRED FOR SAFE SHUTDOWN The process of attaining safe shutdown in accordance with Branch Technical Position RSB 5-l is described in Section 5.5. Equipment for attaining safe shutdown from outside the Control Room is discussed in the following sections. 7.4.1 Hot Shutdown Outside the Control Room The probability of the Control Room becoming inaccessible as a result of any cause is considered extremely small. If the operator must leave the Control Room, however, operating procedures require that he trip the reactor and turbine generator prior to leaving, thus ensuring control at the hot shutdown control stations. If necessary, the required trips can be accomplished at locations outside the Control Room. The reactor unit can be maintained in a hot shutdown condition from the hot shutdown control stations. The following control features are provided: 1. Core residual heat removal 2. Boration of the Reactor Coolant System 3. Pressurizer level and pressure control 4. Containment fan cooler operation These functions require the operation of auxiliary feedwater pumps, charging pumps, boric acid transfer pumps, service water pumps, and containment fan cooler units. Appropriate process instrumentation such as pressurizer pressure and level, steam generator pressure and level, component cooling flow, and service water pressure are provided. This equipment is sufficient to safely maintain the unit in a hot shutdown condition for an extended period of time. 7.4-1 SGS-UFSAR Revision 6 February 15, 1987 7.4.2 Cold Shutdown Outside the Control Room There is no reason to assume any significant damage to equipment in the Control Room area nor is there any reason to believe that access to the Control Room could not be regained during the extended period of hot shutdown. However, we believe the plant design does not preclude the possibility of bringing the reactor to a cold shutdown condition from outside the Control Room. On a I long-term basis (a week or more) an assessment of plant conditions could be made and methods established for making physical changes to instrumentation and control equipment as necessary to permit cold shutdown. The systems and equipment which would be utilized to attain cold shutdown, assuming no significant damage to equipment in the Control Room area, are given below: Process Systems 1. Heat removal -natural or forced circulation (reactor coolant pumps) a. Controlled steam release and feedwater supply b. Residual Heat Removal System 2. Boration capability 3. Nuclear Instrument System a. Source range and intermediate range 4. Reactor coolant inventory control a. Charging and letdown 5. Pressurizer pressure control a. Heaters 7.4-2 SGS-UFSAR Revision 6 February 15, 1987 * * *
