S ecification 3.15.1 Except during secondary side hydrostatic tests in which RCS pressure is to be raised above the PORV

setpoint, at least one of the following overpressure protection systems shall be operable:

a.

Two pressurizer power operated relief valves (PORVs) with a liftsetting of < 435 psig, or b.

A reactor coolant system vent of > 1.1 square inches.

3.15.1.2 3.15.1.3 With one PORV inoperable, either restore the inoperable PORV to operable status within 7 days or depressurize and vent the RCS through a 1.1 square inch vent(s) within the next 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />; maintain the RCS in a vented condition until both PORVs have been restored to operable status.

With both PORVs inoperable, depressurize and vent the RCS through a 1.1 square inch vent(s) within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />; maintain the RCS in a vented condition until both PORVs have been restored to operable status.

Use of the overpressure protection system to mitigate a

RCS pressure transient shall be reported in accordance with 6.9.2.

Basis The operability of two pressurizer PORVs or an RCS vent opening of greater than 1.1 square inches ensures that the RCS will be protected from pressure transients which could exceed the limits of Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50 when one or more of the RCS cold legs are

< 330'F.

Either PORV has adequate relieving capability to protect the RCS'from overpressurization when the transient is limited to either (1) the start of an idle RCP with the secondary water temperature of the steam generator

< 50'F above the RCS cold leg temperature or (2) the start of pl~afety injection pump and its injection into a water solid RCS.
