Thus, a THERMAL POWER limit of 25% of RATED THERMAL POWER for reactor pressures below 785 psig is conservative.

BASES (Continued) 9.

The turbine stop valve closure trip anticipates the pressure, neutron fiux, and heat flux increases that would result from closure of the stop valves.

With a trip setting of 5.5% of valve closure from full open, the resultant increase in heat flux is such that adequate thermal margins are maintained during the worst case transient assuming the turbine bypass valves operate.

10.

This function is not required when THERMAL POWER is below 30% of RATED THERMAL POWER.

The Turbine Bypass System is sufficient at this low power to accommodate a

turbine stop valve closure without the necessity of shutting down the reactor.

This function is automatically bypassed at turbine first stage pressures less than the analytical limit of 147.7 paid, equivalent to THERMAL POWER of about 30% RATED THERMAL POWER.

Turbine first stage pressure of 147.7 psig is equivalent to 22% of rated'turbine load.

~8 The turbine control valve fast closure trip anticipates the pressure, neutron flux, and heat flux increase that could result from fast closure of the turbine control valves due to load rejection coincident with failure of the turbine bypass valves.

The Reactor Protection System initiates a trip when fast closure of the control valves is initiated by the fast acting solenoid valves and in less than 30 milliseconds after the start of control valve fast closure.

This is achieved by the action of the fast acting:solenoid valves in rapidly reducing hydraulic trip oil pressure at the main turbine control valve actuator disc dump valves.

This loss of pressure is sensed by pressure switches whose contacts form the on~ut-of-two-twice logic input to the Reactor Protection System.

This trip setting, a faster closure time, and a different valve characteristic from that of the turbine stop valve, combine to produce transients which are very similar to that for the stop valve.

Relevant transient analyses are discussed in Section 15.2 of the Pinal Safety Analysis Report.

The anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) recirculation pump trip system provides a means of limiting the consequences of the unlikely occurrence of a failure to scram during an anticipated transient.

The response of the plant to this postulated event falls within the envelope of study events in General Electric Company Topical Report NEDO-10349, dated March 1971 and NED0-24222, dated December 1979.

<<4hh' The endef-cycle recirculation pump trip (EOC-RPT) system is a part of the Reactor

'rotection System and is an essential safety supplement to the reactor trip. The purpose of the EOC-RPT is to recover the loss of thermal margin which occurs at the end-of-cycle.

The physical phenomenon involved is that the void reactivity feedback due-to-a pressurization transient can add positive reactivity to the reactor system at a faster'ate

'han the control rods add negative scram reactivity.

Each EOC-RPT system trips both,.'ecirculation pumps, reducing coolant flow in order to reduce the void collapse in the core-

The two events for which the EOC..

~,,-".;-'-;;:;

RPT protective feature will function are closure of the turbine stop valves and fast closure'",';,"~"'-';,~

of the turbine control valves.

P A fast closure sensor from each of two turbine control valves provides input to the EOC-RPT system; a fast closure sensor from each of the other two turbine control valves provides input to the second EOC-RPT system.

Similarly, a position switch for each of two turbine stop valves provides input to one EOC-RPT system; a position switch from each of the other two stop valves provides input to the other EOC-RPT system. 'or each EOC-RPT

system, the sensor relay contacts are arranged to form a 2wut-of-2 logic for the fast closure of turbine control valves and a 2wutwf-2 logic for the turbine stop valves.

The operation of either logic willactuate the EOC-RPT system and trip both recirculation pumps.

This function is not required when THERMAL POWER is below 30% of RATED THERMAL POWER.

The Turbine Bypass System is sufficient at this low power to accommodate a

turbine stop valve or control valve closure without the necessity of tripping the reactor recirculat(on.;;pumps...

This function is automatically "bypassed at turbine first stage pressures"Ieii.,th~;th'e.analytical limit of 147.7. psig, equivalent to THERMAL POWER of about~3Q-'RATEO'.THERMAL POWER.

Turbine first stage pressure of 147.7 psig is equivaleiitW22%'f. rated turbine load.

Each-..=EOC-RPf system may be manually bypassed by use of a keyswitch which is administratively controlled.

The manual bypasses and the automatic Operating Bypass at less than 30% of RATED THERMALPOWER are annunciated in the control room.

The EOC-RPT response time is the time assumed in the analysis between (nit(at(on of valve motion and complete suppression of the electric arc, i.e., 175 ms.

Operation with a trip set less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that the difference between each Trip Setpoint and the Allowable Value is equal to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

The core spray system (CSS) is provided to assure that the core is adequately cooled foliowing a loss-of-coolant

accident, and together with the LPCI mode of the RHR system, provides adequate core cooling capacity for all break sizes up to and including the double-ended reactor recirculation line break, and for smaller breaks following depressurization by the automatic depressurization system (ADS).

/

The CSS is a primary source of emergency core cooling after the reactor vessel is depressurized and a source for flooding of the core in case of accidental draining.

The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that the CSS. will be OPERABLE when required.

Although all active components are testable and full flow can be demonstrated by recirculation through a test loop during reactor operation, a,

complete functional test requires reactor shutdown.

The pump discharge piping is maintained full to prevent water hammer damage to piping and to start cooling at the

The'high!j'iresiure'.,coolant'injection (HPCI) system.is provided to assure that the reactor core is,'a'f4qultiily cooled to limit fuel clad temperature in the event of a small break in the.-.rihactot>coolant-'s/ystem and loss of coolant which does not result in rapid depressuriiation of.",the reactor vessel.

The HPCI system permits the reactor to be shut down'-while',maintaining sufficient reactor vessel water level inventory until the vessel is depressunzed.

The HPCI system continues to operate until reactor vessel pressure is below the pressure at which CS system operation or LPCI mode of the RHR system operation maintains core cooling.

The capacity of the system is selected to provide the required core cooling.

Thy HPCI pump is designed to deliver greater than or equal to 5000 gpm at reactor pressures between 1187 and 150 psig.

Initially, water from the condensate storage tank is used

(

instead of injecting water from the suppression pool into the reactor, but no credit is taken in the safety analyses for the condensate storage tank water.

BASES The specifications of this section ensure that the primary containment pressure will not exceed the design pressure of 53 psig during primary system blowdown from full operating pressure.

The suppression chamber water provides the heat sink for the reactor coolant system energy release following a postulated rupture of the system.

The suppression chamber water volume must absorb the associated decay and structural sensible heat released during reactor coolant system blowdown from 1053 psia.

Since all of the gases in the

)

drywell are purged into the suppression chamber air space during a loss of coolant accident, the pressure of the liquid must not exceed 53 psig, the suppression chamber maximum pressure.

The design volume of the suppression chamber, water and air, was obtained by considerirfg that the total volume of reactor coolant and to be considered is discharged to the suppression chamber and that the drywell volume is purged to the, suppression chamber.

P Using the minimum or maximum water volumes given in this specification, containmenF@

-'ressure during the design basis accident is approximately'45.0 psig which is below the+"

design pressure of 53 psig.

Maximum water volume of 133,540 ft results in a downcomer submergence of 12 feet and the minimum volume of -122,410 ft results in a submergence approximately 24 inches less.

The majority of the Bodega tests were run with a submerged length of four feet and with complete condensation.

Thus, with respect to the downcomer submergence, this specification is adequate.

The maximum temperature at the end of the blowdown tested during the Humboldt Bay and Bodega Bay tests was 170'F and this is conservatively taken to be the limit for complete condensation of the reactor coolant, although condensation would occur for temperatures above 170'F.

Should it be necessary to make the suppression chamber inoperable, this shall only be done as specified in Specification 3.5.3.

Under full power, operating conditions, blowdown from an initial suppression chamber water temperaturo"-'of~90;F" results in a water temperature of approximately 128'F immediately foliowlrig;;64w'dow'ii'which is below the 170'F used for complete condensation via T-quencherj~yjcee.',=',~At',this temperature and atmospheric

pressure, the available NPSH exceedsitflet"roqul lcd'b'y both the RHR and core spray pumps, thus there is no dependency on coritainment".,oyerpressure during the accident Injection phase.

If both RHR loops are used for "containment cooling, there is no dependency on containment overpressure for post-LOCA operations.

Experimental data indicates that excessive steam condensing loads can be avoided if the peak local temperature of the suppression pool is maintained below 200'F duripg any period of relief valve operation.

Specifications have been placed on the envelope of reactor operating conditions so that the reactor can be depressurized in a timely manner to avoid the regime of potentially high suppression chamber loadings.
