2.1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.1
'EACTOR CORE The restrictions of this safety limit prevent overheating of the fuel and possible cladding perforation which would result in the release of fission products to the reactor coolant.
Overheating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the heat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface temperature is slightly above the coolant saturation temperature.
Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime could result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer coefficient.
DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during operation and therefore THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temperature and Pressure have been related to DNB.
This relation has been developed to predict the DNB flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux distributions.
The local DNB heat flux ratio,
- DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is indicative of the margin to DNB.
The DNB design basis is as follows:
there must be at least a 95 percent probability that the minimum DNBR of the limiting rod during Condition I and II events is greater than or equal to the DNBR limit of the DNB correlation being used (the XNB correlation in this application).
The correlation DNBR limit is established based on the entire applicable experimental data set such that there is a 95 percent probability with 95 percent confidence that DNB will not occur when the minimum DNBR is at the DNBR limit.
The curves of Figure 2.1-1 show the loci of points of THERMAL POWER, Reactor Coolant System pressure and average tempeature below which the calculated DNBR is no less than the correlation DNBR limit value or the average enthalpy at the vessel exit is less than the enthalpy of saturated liquid.
Uncertainties in primary system pressure, core temperature, core thermal power, primary coolant flow rate, and fuel fabrication tolerances have been included in the analyses from which Figure 2.1-1 is derived.

COOK - UNIT 2 B 2-1 AMENDMENT NO.
LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASF.S The Power Range Negative Rate trip provides protection to ensure that the calculated DNBR is maintained above the design DNBR value for multiple control rod drop accidents.
The analysis of a single control rod drop accident indicates a return to full power may be initiated by the automatic control system in response to a continued full power turbine load demand or by the negative moderator temperature feedback.
A single control rod drop analysis with automatic rod control has not been performed for Cycle 6.
The plant will be operated under the "Interim Criteria for Single Dropped Rod."
Intermediate and Source Ran e
Neutron Flux The Intermediate and Source
- Range, Nuclear Flux trips provide reactor core protection during reactor startup.
These trips provide redundant protection to the low setpoint trip of the Power Range, Neutron Flux eh~~nels.
The Source Range Channels will initiate a reactor trip at about 10 counts per second unless manually blocked when P-6 becomes active.
The Intermediate Range Channels will initiate a reactor trip at a current level proportional to approximately 25 percent of RATED THERMAL POWER unless manually blocked when P-10 becomes active.
No credit was taken for operation of the trips associa'ted with either the Intermediate or Source Range Channels in the accident analyses; however, their functional capability at the specified trip settings is required by this specification to enhance the overall reli.ability of the Reactor Protection System.
Overtem erature AT The Overtemperature hT trip provides core protection to prevent DNB for all combinations of pressure, power, coolant temperature, and axial power distribution, provided that the transient is slow with respect to piping transit delays from the core to the temperature detectors (about 4 seconds),
and pressure is within the range between the High and Low Pressure reactor trips.
This setpoint includes corrections for. changes in density and heat capacity of water with temperature and dynamic compensation for piping delays from the core to the loop temperature detectors.
This reactor trip limit is always below the core safety limit as shown in Figure 2.1-1. If axial peaks are more severe than design, as indicated by the difference between top and bottom power range nuclear detectors, the reactor trip is automatically reduced according to the notations in Table 2.2-1.
D.

COOK - UNIT 2 B 2-4 AMENDMENT NO.
LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Over ower AT The Overpower hT reactor trip provides assurance of fuel integrity, e.g.,
no melting, under all possible overpower conditions, limits tne required range for Overtemperature BT protection, and provides a backup to the High Neutron Flux trip.
The setpoint includes corrections for changes in density and heat capacity of water with temperature, and dynamic compensation for piping delays from the core to the loop temperature detectors.
No credit was taken for operation of this trip in the accident analyses; however, its functional capability at the specified trip setting is required by this specification to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Protection
'ystem.
If axial peaks are more severe than design, as indicated by the difference between top and bottom power range nuclear detectors, the reactor trip is automatically reduced according to the notations in Table 2.2-1.
Pressurizer Pressure The Pressurizer High and Low Pressure trips are provided to limit the pressure range in which reactor operation is permitted.
The High Pressure trip is backed up by the pressurizer code safety valves for RCS overpressure protection, and is therefore set lower than the set pressure for these valves (2485 psig).
The High Pressure trip provides protection for a Loss of External Load event.
The Low Pressure trip provides protection by tripping the reactor in the event of a loss of reactor coolant pressure.
Pressurizer Water Level The Pressurizer High Water Level trip ensures protection against Reactor Coolant System overpressurization by limiting the water level to a volume sufficient to retain a steam bubble and prevent water relief through the pressurizer safety valves.
No credit was taken for operation of this trip in the accident analyses; however, its functional capability at the specified trip setting is required by this specification to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Protection System.

COOK
- UNIT 2 B 2-5 AMENDMENT NO.
LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Loss of Flow The Loss of Flow trips provide core protection to prevent DNB in the event of a loss of one or more reactor coolant pumps.
Above 11 percent of RATED THERMAL POWER, an automatic reactor trip will occur if the flow in any two loops drop below 89% of design flow.
Above the P-8 setpoint, ( 31% of RATED THERMAL POWER, automatic reactor trip will occur if the flow in any single loop drops below 89% of design flow.
Design flow is defined as the minimum indicated loop flow supported by the safety analysis.
Steam Generator Water Level The Steam Generator Water Level Low-Low trip provides core protection by preventing operation with the steam generator water level below the minimum volume required for adequate heat removal capacity.
The specified setpoint provides allowance that there will be sufficient water inventory in the steam generators at the time of trip to allow for starting delays of the auxialiary feedwater system.
Steam Feedwater Flow Mismatch and Low Steam Generator Water Level The Steam/Feedwater Flow Mismatch in coincidence with a Steam Generator Low Water Level trip is not used in the transient and accident analyses but is included in Table 2.2-1 to ensure the functional capability of the specified trip settings and thereby enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Protection System.
This trip is redundant to the Steam Generator Water Level Low-Low trip.
The Steam/Feedwater Flow Mismatch portion of this trip is activated when the6steam flow exceeds the feedwater flow by greater than or equal to 1.47 x 10 lbs/hour.
The Steam Generator Low Water level portion of the trip is activated when the water level drops below 25 percent, as indicated by the narrow range instrument.
These trip values include sufficient allowance in excess of normal operating values to preclude spurious trips but will initiate a reactor trip before the steam generators are dry.
Therefore, the required capacity and starting time requirements of the auxiliary feedwater pumps are reduced and the resulting thermal transient on the Reactor Coolant System and steam generators is minimized.

COOK - UNIT 2 B 2-6 AMENDMENT NO.
LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Undervolta e and Underfre uencv
- Reactor Coolant Pum Busses The Undervoltage and Underfrequency Reactor Coolant Pump bus trips provide reactor core protection against DNB as a result of loss of voltage o" underfrequency to more than one reactor coolant pump.
The specified set points assure a reactor trip signal is generated before the low flow trip set point is reached.
Time delays are incorporated in the underfrequency and undervoltage trips to prevent spurious reactor trips from momentary electrical power transients.
For undervoltage, the delay is set so that the time required for a signal to reach the reactor trip breakers following the simultaneous trip of two or more reactor coolant pump bus circuit breakers shall not exceed 0.9 seconds.
For underfrequency, the delay is set so that the time required for a signal to reach the reactor trip breakers after the underfrequency trip set point is reached shall not exceed 0.3 seconds.
Turbine Tri A Turbine Trip causes a direct reactor trip when operating above P-7.
Each of 'the turbine trips provide turbine protection and resuce the severity of the ensuing transient.
No credit was taken in the accident analyses for operation of these trips.
Their functional capability at the specified trip settings is required to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Protection System.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3 4.1 1
BORATION CONTROL 3 4 l.l.l and 3 4.1.1.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that 1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions,
- 2) the reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and 3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.
SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T
The most restrictive ave'ondition for increased load events occurs at EOL, with T at no load ave operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated Steam line break accident and resulting uncontrolled RCS cooldown.
In the analysis of this
- accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.6% bk/k is initially required to control the'eactivity transient and automatic ESF is assumed to be available.
Technical Specification requirements call for verification that the SHUTDOWN MARGIN is greater than or equal to that which would be required for the MODE 3 low temperature
- value, 350 F, prior to blocking safety injection on either the P-11 or P-12 permissive interlocks.
This assures in the event of an inadvertent opening of two cooldown steam dump valves that adequate shutdown reactivity is available to allow the operator to identify and terminate the event.
With T
( 200 F, the reactivity transients resulting from a postulated 0
ave steam line br5ak cooldown are minimal and a 1% Ak/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN provides adequate protection for this event.
In shutdown MODES 4 and 5 when heat removal is provided by the residual heat removal system, active reactor coolant system volume may be reduced.
Increased SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements when operating under these conditions is provided for high reactor coolant system boron concentrations to ensure sufficient time for operator response in the event of a boron dilution transient.
The SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements are based upon the limiting conditions described above and are consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions.
3 4.1.1.3 BORON DILUTION A minimum flow rate of at least 3000 GPM provides adequate
- mixing, prevents stratification and ensures that reactivity changes will be gradual during boron concentration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System.
A flow rate of at least 3000 GPM will circulate an equivalent Reactor Coolant System volume of 12,612 cubic feet in approximately 30 minutes.
The reactivity change rate associated with boron reductions will therefore be within the capability for operator recognition and control.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTFMS BASES 3 4.1.1.4 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT MTC The limitations on MTC are provided to ensure that the value of this coefficient remains within the limiting conditions assumed for this parameter in the FSAR accident and t'ransient analyses.
The MTC values of this specification are applicable to a specific set of plant conditions; accordingly, verification of MTC values at conditions other than those explicitly stated will require extrapolation to those conditions in order to permit an accurate comparison.
It is confirmed by cycle specific neutronic analyses that the value of the MTC at
- EOC, HZP (All rods in) is greater than the value at
- EOC, HFP (All rods out), thus assuring that the surveillance at the latter condition is adequate to maintain MTC within safety analysis assumptions.
The surveillance requirements for measurement of the MTC at the beginning and near the end of each fuel cycle are adequate to confirm that the MTC remains within its limits since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup.
3 4.1.1.5 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 541 F.
This 0
limitation is required to ensure
- 1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its analyzed temperature
- range,
- 2) the protective instrumentation is within its normal operating
- range,
- 3) the pressurizer is capable of being in a OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and 4) the reactor pressure vessel is above its minimum RTND temperature.
Administrative procedures will be established to ensure The P-12 blocked functions are unblocked before taking the reactor critical.

- 5) associated heat tracing

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES With the RCS average temperature above 200 F, a minimum of two separate 0
and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the systems inoperable.
Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that nimor component repair or corrective action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period.
The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pump to be OPERABLE and the Surveillance Requirement to verify all charging pumps and safety injection pumgs, except the required OPERABLE charging
- pump, to be inoperable below 152 F, unless the reactor vessel head is removed, provides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a single PORV.
THIS PARAGRAPH TO BE SUBMITTED AT A LATER DATE With the RCS temperature below 200 F, one injection system is acceptable 0
without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.
THIS PARAGRAPH TO BE SUBMITTED AT A LATER DATE The contained water volume limits include allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics.
The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 8.5 and 11.0 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA.
This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.
The OPERABILITY of boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.

3 4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES The specifications of this section provide assurance of fuel integrity during Condition I (Normal Operation) and II (Incidents of Moderate Frequency) events by: (a) maintaining the calculated DNBR in the core at or above design during normal operation and in short term transients, and (b) limiting the fission gas release, fuel pellet temperature and cladding mechanical properties to within assumed design criteria.
In addition, limiting the peak linear power density during Condition I events provides assurance that the initial conditions assumed for the LOCA analyses are met 0
and the ECCS acceptance criteria limit of 2200 F is not exceeded.
The definitions of certain hot channel and peaking factors as used in these specifications are as follows:
F (Z)
Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the maximum local heat flux on the surface of a fuel rod at core elevation Z divided by the average fuel rod heat flux, allowing for manufacturing tolerances on fuel pellets and rods.
hH Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the ratio of the integral of linear power along the rod with the highest integrated power to the average rod power.
The limits on F (Z) and F H,for Westinghouse supplied fuel at a core N
average power of 3413 MWt are k.97 and 1.48, respectively, which assure consistency with the allowable heat generation rates developers for a core average thermal power of 3391 MWt.
The limits on F (Z) and F
for ENC supplied fuel have been established for a cgre thermal power 8 3411 MWt.
The limit on F (Z) is 2.10.
The limit on F is 1.49.
The analyses supporting the, Exxon Nuclear Company limits are valid for an average steam generator tube plugging of up to 10% and a maximum plugging of one or more steam generators of up to 15%.
In establishing the limits, a plant system description with improved accuracy was employed during the reflood portion of the LOCA Transient.
With respect to the Westinghouse supplied fuel, the minimum projected excess margin to ECCS limits will more than offset the impact of increased steam generator
-tube.plugging.
3 4.2.1 AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE AFD The limits on AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE assure that the F (Z) upper bound envelope is not exceeded during either normal operation" or in the event of xenon redistribution following power changes.
The F (Z) upper bound envelope is 1.97 times the average fuel rod heat flux for Wes9inghouse supplied fuel and 2.10 times the average fuel rod heat flux for Exxon Nuclear Company supplied fuel.
Target flux difference is determined at equilibrium xenon conditions.
The full length rods may be positioned within the core in accordance with their respective insertion limits and should be inserted near their normal position for steady state operation at high power levels.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES 3 4.2.2 and 3 4.2.3 HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR AND NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTOR The limits on heat flux hot channel factor and nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor ensure that 1) the design limits on peak local power density and minimum DNBR are not exceeded and 2) in the event of a LOCA the peak fuel 0
clad temperature will not exceed the 2200 F
ECCS acceptance criteria limit.
Each of these is measurable but will normally only be determined periodically as specified in Specifications 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.6.1 and 4.2.6.2.
This periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the limits are maintained provided:
a.
Control rods in a single group'move together with no individual rod insertion differing by more than + 12 steps from the group demand position.
b.
Control rod groups are sequenced with overlapping groups as described in Specification 3.1.3.6.

above are maintained.
The relaxation of F<
as a function of THERMAL POWER allows changes in the radial power shape for all permissible rod insertion limits.
The form of this relaxation for DNBR limits is discussed in Section 2.1.1 of the basis.
When an F
measurement is taken, both experimental error and manufacturing tolerance must be allowed for.
5% is the appropriate allowance for a fu'll core map taken with the incore detector flux mapping system and 3%
is the appropriate allowance for manufacturing tolerance.
A measurement error allowance of 4% on F H has been included in the N

3 4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES 3 4.2.4.
UADRANT POWER TILT RATIO The quadrant power tilt ratio limit assures that the radial power distribution satisfies the design values used in the power capability analysis.
Radial power distribution measurements are made during startup testing and periodically during power operation.
The limit of 1.02 at which corrective action is required provides DNB and linear heat generation rate protection with x-y plane power tilts.
The two hour time allowance for operation with a tilt condition greater than 1.02 but less than 1.09 is provided to allow identification and correction of a dropped or misaligned rod.
In the event such action does not correct the tilt, the margin for uncertainty on F is reinstated by reducing the power by 3 percent from RATED THERMAL POWER fear each percent of tilt in excess of 1.0.
3 4 2.5 DNB PARAMETERS The limits on the DNB related parameters in MODE 1 assure that each of the parameters are maintained within the normal steady state envelope of operation assumed in the transient and accident analyses.
The limits are consistent with the assumptions of the safety analysis and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain design DNBR throughout each analyzed transient.

The total flow is measured after each refueling based on a secondary side calorimetric and measurements of primary loop temperatures.

6 ALLOWABLE POWER LEVEL - APL The power distribution control procedure, PDC-II, manages core power distributions such that Technical Specification limits on F (Z) are not violated during normal operation and limits on MDNBR are no9 violated during steady-state, load-follow, and anticipated transients.
The V(Z) factor given in the Technical Specifications provides the means for predicting the maximum F (Z) distribution anticipated during operation under the PDC-II procedure t9king into account the incore measured equilibrium power distribution.
A comparison of the maximum F (Z) with the Technical Specification limit determines the power level )APL) below which the Technical Specification limit can. be protected by PDC-II.
This comparison is done by calculating APL, as defined in specification 3.2.6.

INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3 4.3 1 and 3 4.3.2 PROTECTIVE AND ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ESF INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the protective and ESF instrumentation systems and interlocks ensure that 1) the associated ESF action and/or reactor trip will be initiated when the parameter monitored by each channel or combination thereof exceeds its setpoint,
- 2) the specified coincidence logic is maintained,
- 3) sufficient redundancy is maintained to permit a channel to be out of service for testing or maintenance, and 4) sufficient system functional capability is available for protective and ESF purposeJ from diverse parameters.
The OPERABILITY of these systems is required to provide the overall reliability, redundance and diversity assumed available in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions.
The integrated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.
Protection has been provided for main feedwater system malfunctions in MODES 3 and 4.
This protection is required when main feedpumps are aligned to feed steam generators in MODES 3 and 4.
The availability of feedwater isolation on high-high steam generator level terminates the addition of cold water to the steam generators in any main feedwater system malfunction.
The total volume that can be added to the steam generators by the main feedwater system in MODES 3 and 4 is limited by this safeguards actuation and the fact that feedwater isolation on low T setpoint coincident with reactor trip can ave only be cleared above the low-low steam generator level trip setpoint.
The restrictions associated with bypassing ESF trip functions below either P-11 or P-12 provide protection against an increase in steam flow transient and are consistent with assumptions made in the safety analysis.
The surveillance requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is maintained comparable to the original design standards.
The periodic surveillance tests performed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.
The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the protective and ESF action function associated with each channel is completed within the time limit assumed in the accident analyses.
No credit was taken in the analyses for those channels with response times indicated as not applicable.
Response
time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential, overlapping or total channel test measurements provided that such tests demonstrate the total channel response time as defined.
Sensor response time verification may be demonstrated by either 1) in place, onsite or offsite test measurements or 2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times.

3 4 4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3 4 4.1 RFACTOR COOLANT LOOPS The plant is designed to operate with all reactor coolant loops in operation, and maintain calculated DNBR above the design DNBR value during Condition I and II events.
A loss of flow in two loops will cause a reactor trip if operating above P-7 (11 percent of RATED THERMAL POWER) while a loss of flow 'n one loop will cause a reactor trip if,operating above P-8 (31 percent of RATED THERMAL POWER).
In MODE 3, a single reactor coolant loop provides sufficient heat removal capability for removing decay heat;
- however, single failure considerations require that two loops be OPERABLE.
Three loops are required to be OPERABLE and to operate if the control rods are capable of withdrawal and the reactor trip breakers are closed.
The requirement assures adequate DNBR margin in the event of an uncontrolled rod withdrawal in this mode.
In MODES 4 and 5, a single reactor coolant loop or RHR loop provides sufficient, heat removal capability for removing decay heat; but single failure considerations require that at least two loops be OPERABLE.
Thus, if the reactor coolant loops are not OPERABLE; this specification requires two RHR loops to be OPERABLE.
The operation of one Reactor Coolant Pump or one RHR pump provides adequate flow to ensure mixing, prevent stratification and produce gradual reactivity changes during boron concentration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System.
The reactivity change rate associated with boron reduction will, therefore, be within the capability of operator recognition and control.
The restrictions on starting a Reactor Coolant Pump with one or more RCS cold legs less than or equal to 152 F are provided to prevent RCS pressure 0
transients, caused by energy additions from the secondary
- system, which could exceed the limits of Appendix G to 10 GFR Part, 50.
- The RCS will be protected against overpressure transients and will not exceed the limits of Appendix G
by either (1) restricting the water volume in the pressurizer and thereby providing a volume for the primary coolant to expand into, or (2) by restricting starting of the RCPs to when the secondary water temperature of each steam generator is less than 50 F above each of the RCS cold leg 0
temperatures.

SAFETY VALVES The pressurizer code safety valves operate to prevent the RCS from being pressurized above its Safety Limit of 2735 psig.
Each safety valve is designed to relieve 420,000 lbs per hour of saturated steam at the valve setpoint.'he relief capacity of a single safety valve is adequate to relieve any overpressure condition which could occur during shutdown.
In the event that no safety valves are OPERABLE in MODES 4 and 5, an operating RHR loop, connected to the RCS, provides overpressure relief capability.
Additionally, if no safety valves are OPERABLE, then all Safety Injection pumps and all but one charging pump will be rendered inoperable to preclude overpressurization due to an inadvertent increase in the RCS inventory.
During operation, all pressurizer code safety valves must be OPERABLE to prevent the RCS from being pressurized above it's safety limit of 2735 psig.
The combined relief capacity of all of these valves is greater than the maximum surge rate resulting from a complete loss of load assuming no reactor trip until the first Reactor Protective System trip set point is reached (i.e.,
no credit is taken for a direct reactor trip on the loss of load) and also assuming no operation of the power operated relief valves or steam dump valves.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3 4,4.11 RELIEF VALVES The power operated relief valves (PORVs) operate to relieve RCS pressure below the setting of the pressurizer code safety valves.
These relief valves have remotely operated block valves to provide a positive shutoff capability should the relief valve become inoperable.
The electrical power for both the relief valves and the block valves is supplied from an emergency power source to ensure the ability to seal this possible RCS leakage path.
3 4.4.12 REACTOR COOLANT VENT SYSTEM The Reactor Coolant Vent System is provided to exhaust noncondensible gases and/or steam from the primary system that could inhibit natural circulation core cooling. It has been designed to vent a volume of Hydrogen approximately equal to one-half of the Reactor Coolant System volume in one hour at system design pressure and temperature.
The Reactor Coolant Vent System is comprised of the Reactor Vessel head vent system and the pressurizer steam space vent system.
Each of these subsystems consists of a single line containing a common manual isolation valve inside containment, splitting into two parallel flow paths.
Each flow path provides the design basis venting capacity and contains two lE DC powered solenoid isolation valves, which will fail closed.
This valve configuration/redundancy serves to minimize the probability of inadvertent or irreversible actuation while ensuring that single failure of a remotely-operated vent valve, power supply, or control system does not prevent isolation of the vent path.
The pressurizer steam space vent is independent of the PORVs and safety valves and is specifically designed to exhaust gases from the pressurizer in a very high radiation environment.
In
- addition, the OPERABILITY of one Reactor Vessel head vent path and one Pressurizer steam space vent path will ensure that the capability exists to perform this venting function.
The function, capabilities, and testing requirements of the Reactor Coolant Vent System are consistent with the requirements of Item II.B.1 of NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirement,"
November 1980.
The minimum required systems to meet the Specification and not enter into an action statement are one vent path from the Reactor Vessel head and one vent path from the Pressurizer steam space.

3 4.7 PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3 4.7.1 TURBINE CYCLE 3 4.7.1.1 SAFETY VALVES The OPERABILITY of the main steam line code safety valves ensures that the secondary system pressure will be limited to within 110% of its design pressure of 1085 psig during the most severe anticipated system operational transient.
The maximum relieving capacity is associated with a turbine trip from 100%
RATED THERMAL POWER coincident with an assumed loss of condenser heat sink (i.e.,
no steam bypass to the condenser).
The specified valve lift settings and relieving capacities are in accordance with the requirements of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure
- Code, 1971 Edition.
The total relieving capacity for all valves on all of the steam lines is 17,153,800 lbs/hr which is 117 percent of the total secondary steam flow of 14,674,000 lbs/hr at 100%
BATED THERMAL POWER.
A minimum of 2 OPERABLE safety valves per steam generator ensures that sufficient relieving capacity is available for the allowable THERMAL POWER restriction in Table 3.7-1.
STARTUP and/or POWER OPERATION is allowable with safety valves inoperable within the limitations of the ACTION requixements on the basis of the reduction in secondary system steam flow and THERMAL POWER required by the reduced reactor trip settings of the Power Range Neutron Flux channels.

Reactor Coolant System can be cooled down to less than 350 F from normal operating conditions in the event of a total loss of off-site power.
Each electric driven auxiliary feedwater pump is capable of delivering a
total feedwater flow of 450 gpm at a pressure of 1065 psig to the entrance of the steam generators.
The steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump is capable of delivering a total feedwater flow of 900 gpm at a pressure of 1065 psig to the entrance of the steam generators.
This capacity is sufficient to ensure.
that adequate feedwater flow is available to remove decay heat and reduce the Reactor Coolant System temperature to less than 350 F when the Residual Heat 0
Removal System may be placed into operation.
The acceptance discharge pressures for the auxiliary feedwater pumps are 0
based on a fluid temperature of 60 F.
Water density gorrections are permitted to allow comparison of test results which vary depending on ambient conditions.
In addition to its safety design function, the AFW system is used to maintain steam generator level during startup (including low power operation).
During this time, the system design allows for automatic initiation of the auxiliary feedwater pumps and their related automatic valves in the flow path.
