curve (with 10% additional margin) as calculated in accordance with Appendix G to 10CFR50 or the peak RCS or RHR System pressure based upon piping/structural analysis loads. The lower pressure extreme ls specified by the reactor coolant pump P1 seal minimum differential pressure performance criteria. Uncertainties in the pressure and temperature instrumentation utilized by the LTOPS are accounted for consistent with the methodology of Reference 2.0.
Accounting for the effects of instrumentation uncertainty imposes additional restrictions on the setpolnt development, which is already based on conservative pressure limits such as a safety factor of 2 on pressure stress, use of a lower bound K,R curve and an assumed ~/iT flaw depth with a length equal to 1N times the vessel wali thickness.
3.3 Application of ASME Code Case N-514 ASME Code Case N-514II allows LTOPS to limit the maximum pressure in the reactor vessel to 110% of the pressure determined to satisfy Appendix G, paragraph G-2215, of Section XI of N
the ASME Godet'I. The application of ASME Code Case N-514 increases the operating margin in the region of the pressure-temperature limit curves where the LTOPS is enabled. Code Case N-514 also requires LTOPS to be effective at coolant temperatures less than 200'F or at coolant temperatures corresponding to a reactor vessel metal temperature, at a 1/4t distance from the inside vessel surface, less than RTgpr + 50 F, whichever is greater. RTgpy is the highest adjusted reference temperature for weld or base metal in the beltline region at a distance one-fourth of the vessel section thickness from the vessel inside surface, as determined by Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2.

Enable Temperature for LTOPS The enable temperature is the temperature below which the LTOPS system is required to be operable.
The Ginna LTOPS enable temperature Is established using the guidance provided by ASME XI Code Case N-514. The ASME Code Case N-514 supports an enable RCS liquid temperature corresponding to the reactor vessel 1/4t metal temperature of RT>>r + 50'F or 200'F, whichever is greater as described In Section 3.3. This definition is also supported by the Westinghouse Owner's Group. The Ginna enable temperature is determined as (RTD~ + 50'F)
+ (instrument error I~I) + (metal temperature difference to 1/4 T). The maximum allowable pressure is 110% of the steady-state cooidown curve calculated in accordance with Appendix G to 10CFR50 'er ASME Code Case N-514i"I The RCS cold leg temperature limitation for starting an RCP is the same value as the LTOPS enable temperature to ensure that the basis of the heat injection transient is not violated. The Technical Specifications prohibit starting an RCP when any RCS cold leg temperatures is less than or equal to the LTOPS enable temperature unless the secondary side water temperature of each steam generator Is less than or equal to 50'F above each of the RCS cold leg temperatures, or the pressurizer water volume is ( 324 cubic feet (38% level).
