Senior Vice President - Power Post Office Box 26666 Richmond, Virginia 23261 Gentlemen:

As part of our generic reviev, of secondary systemfluid flow instabilities at nuclear power plants, \\'le have reviewed your submittals dated May 10, 1976, and December 2, 1977, for the Surry Pm*1er Station, Unit Nos. l and 2.

Based on *our review, we find that the prov1s10ns \\'1hich you have made for minimizing the 1 i kel ihood of water ham;ner events due to the rapid condensation of steam in the feed1*1ater systems at Surry are acceptable.

Enclosed is our Safety Evaluation Report supporting our fi;iding.

tce.?..c:.1,~nt sc~ccifi.c;iti.ons for vario*Js opcr-ati~g and *rest conditions..

Thcs~ specifications in g2~eral are based on:

1.

The use of 2mm6nium hydroxide or. an. amine ror feedwater and sten::1 prt control.

r\\~oniu::1 h..tdro~*:ide is pr~2ferred; however, QOrpholine and cyclohexylamine are acceptable provided they.do not reduce the sensitivity of the free hydroxide determination.

in the feedwater train.

3.

Continuous hlowdown and continuous chemical addition.*

4.

Limiting the concentrations of contaminants in the feed-water and in the steam generator.

Each chemistry parameter is discussed in detail in the follo,,ing sections.

7.2.2 Feedwater Chemistry Control Parameters Both the feedwater and steam systems are orice~t;,.rough systems requiring*that any chemical tr.eatment of these systems be based on the AVT concept regard-less 0£ the chemistry used in the steaI:t generator.

This conc2pt has been adhered to by Westinghouse in its previous and present speci-fications re.lat-

. ing to feedwater chemistry control*.

Any discrepancy between the* specifica-tions stated in Table 7-2 and those required by the equipment supplier ~ust be brought to the attention of ~estinghouse and the equipment supplier.

Dissolved Oxygen For co!'rosion preventi.on, oxygen must* be eliminated as far as possible from the feedHater enterin_g

There must be no detectable oxy-gen ( <O. 005 ppm) present Tn the blowdown under any operating or test: condi-tion.

Oxygen is controlled by the addition of hydrazine at the discharge of the co.ndensate pumps.

THE USE OF SULFITE FOR THIS PURPOSE IS PROHIBITED.

For hot functional testing and hot standby, the concentration of oxygen in the feedwatcr can be 0.1 ppm or less provided the concentration of hydrazine injected into the steam generator is 3 to 5 times the oxygen concentracion in the fe~dwater sour~e.

For hot function~l testing and hot

_standby tne hydrazine conce!".tr2.tion in the feed,.:ater should.be maintai!!ed at 3 to 5 tir:,es the oxygen concentration in the feed,.;ater source.

For po~er operation, it is reco::;_--:iended that a T--wdrazine residiial of >0.005 !J~S in excess of the E_eedwater oxygen be maintained downstrear:z. of the highest

7. 2.3 Stear.,. Generator Cnemistry Control Para..iete.rs pH When controlling stea..i generator chemistry on Avr chemistry it.;iust be rec-ognized that 1) AVf provides no buffering cap.a city-foi: contaminants entering the steam generator and 2) the steam generator bulk water pH is at: or slightly*

in excess of the neutral pr!° for water at: the operating temp~raL1.1,re of the stea-::1* generator.

The absence of alkalinity in the steam generator at its operating temperature is due to the lo,;.;r ior'_ization of* the feed-.:ater pH con-trol amines at these ter;i;i'eratures.

Therefore, cqnta:uinants errt.ering.the steam generator that are more strongly ionized *than: tile fee4water pH control amines have the potential for* producing major pertu-rbations to the bulk water either ~n the form of free hydroxide (from fresh waters) or acidity (sea water or treated circulating water -

cooling towers).

Clearly then, the objectives of th~ steam generator pH control parameters stated in Tables 7-2,

  • 7-3 and 7-4 are to provide a means for controlling free hydroxide or free acidity in the steam generator bulk water to minimze cor-rosio!! of the steam generator materials and turbine cycle and to provide a

~eans ~hereby perturbatLons to the steam generator cbemistry from sources such.as condenser_ lea.kage can be recognized.

Such a determina.tion is possible for alkaline producing fresh water using the relationship bern-2en the pH and the concentration of the contr_ol ami.ne a~ a sample temperature.of 2S'"C.

Fig~

m:'e 7-1 presents such a relationship for ammonium hydroxide.

In the case of a sea water intrusion into a steam ~enerator on-AVT che~istry control a blowdoi,.rn pH depression is ex.pee tcd.
