28/18 9.2-1 Rev. 36
permissible level and to automatically line up charging pump suction to the RWST on low VCT level.
- 3. The system is designed to supply makeup or accept discharge due to power decreases or increases.
- 4. The system is designed with the capability to allow design transients of +/-10 percent of full power step changes and ramp changes of +/-5 percent of full power per minute between 15 and 100 percent power.
- 5. The system is designed so that the volume control tank has sufficient capacity to accommodate the reactor coolant system water inventory change for a full to zero power decrease with no makeup system operation, with the volume control tank initially at the normal operating level.
- 6. The system is designed to assure that the activity in the reactor coolant system does not exceed 411 Ci/cc (at 77°F) for an assumed 1 percent failed fuel condition.
- 7. The system is designed to maintain the reactor coolant chemistry within the limits specified in Table 9.2-2.
2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 System CVCS is shown in the simplified block diagram, Figure 9.2-1, and in the detailed piping and rumentation drawing, Figure 9.2-2. The normal flow path is shown by the heavy lines in ure 9.2-2. Coolant letdown flow from one reactor coolant loop cold leg first passes through tube side of the regenerative heat exchanger, where the temperature is reduced to roximately 260°F at normal conditions, and then through the letdown control valves. The own control valves are modulated by the pressurizer level control program and control the own flow to maintain proper pressurizer level. The letdown coolant temperature is reduced to
°F in the letdown heat exchanger downstream of the letdown control valves. This final perature reduction is made to prevent possible damage to the ion exchange resins. Flashing of hot liquid between the letdown control valves and the letdown heat exchanger is prevented by trolling back pressure with a pressure control valve downstream of the letdown heat hanger.
cooled letdown flow is passed through the letdown prefilter to remove suspended solids. The own flow is then directed through one of the two purification ion exchangers. The ion hangers contain resins for removal of corrosion and fission products. The third ion exchanger, deborating ion exchanger, is used for boron removal near the end of core cycle life when it is 28/18 9.2-2 Rev. 36
letdown strainer located downstream of the ion exchanger retains particulate matter that may s through the ion exchanger retention element. It also serves as a backup to the ion exchanger ntion element, to prevent resin from entering the volume control tank, in the event of gross ure of this element.
coolant then flows through the letdown post filter and is sprayed into the volume control tank re gaseous fission products are released and hydrogen gas is dissolved in the coolant. The rging pumps take suction from the volume control tank and pump the fluid through the shell of the regenerative heat exchanger for recovery of heat from the letdown flow before being rned to the reactor coolant system.
mical shim and shutdown control for the reactor is maintained by control of the boron centration. Boron concentration is monitored by periodic sample analysis. Changing the boron centration in the reactor coolant system is accomplished by dilution with primary makeup er, addition of concentrated boric acid, or any desired blend of both to the reactor coolant em by the feed and bleed operation.
he level in the volume control tank reaches the high level setpoint, the letdown flow is matically diverted to the radioactive waste processing system. If the level in the volume trol tank reaches the low-level setpoint, primary makeup water, borated to the existing centration of the reactor coolant system, can be automatically supplied to the volume control by the makeup system. The system is designed to automatically line up charging pump ion to the RWST on low-low VCT level.
h the level in the normal control band, the volume control tank has sufficient capacity to ommodate the reactor coolant system water inventory change for a full to zero power decrease h no makeup system operation.
centrated boric acid is prepared in the batching tank and then transferred to the boric acid age tanks for storage. The boric acid tank contents may be recirculated by the boric acid ps. These pumps are also used to transfer boric acid to the volume control tank or to the ion of the charging pumps. They also transfer boric acid to the charging pump suction on a ty injection actuation signal (SIAS). On SIAS, both boric acid pumps transfer boric acid ctly to the charging pump suction header. Should the boric acid pumps fail to start on SIAS, dditional line is provided for gravity-feeding concentrated boric acid from the storage tanks to charging pump suction header.
reactor coolant system may be leak tested when the plant is shut down in accordance with t procedures. The system is also provided with connections for installing a hydrostatic test p.
general CVCS parameters are given in Table 9.2-1. The location numbers on the CVCS ng and Instrumentation Diagram serve to indicate process flow reference points in the system.

rence points. Basically, a letdown flow of 40 gpm is normal purification operation, a letdown of 84 gpm is intermediate purification operation and a letdown flow of 128 gpm is maximum fication operation. Typical operating conditions are given for the various makeup system rating modes.
ume Control CVCS automatically controls the volume of water in the reactor coolant system using a signal m the level instrumentation located on the pressurizer. The system reduces the amount of fluid must be transferred between the coolant system and the CVCS during power changes by loying a programmed pressurizer level setpoint which varies with reactor power level. The grammed level setpoint varies linearly with the average reactor coolant temperature. This ar relationship is shown in Figure 4.3-9. The control system compares the programmed level oint with the measured pressurizer water level. The resulting error signal is used to control the ration of the charging pumps and the letdown valves, as described below.
pressurizer level control program regulates the letdown flow by adjusting the letdown control e so that the reactor coolant pump controlled bleed off plus the letdown flow matches the ut from the operating charging pump. When the equilibrium is disturbed by a power change or any other reason, a decrease in level will start the available standby charging pumps to restore l, and an increase in level will increase the letdown flow rate and initiate a backup signal to the operating standby charging pumps. This relationship is shown in Figure 4.3-10.
volume control tank coolant level is controlled manually or automatically. When the level in tank reaches the high level setpoint, the letdown flow is automatically diverted to the oactive waste processing system. When the level in the tank reaches the low level setpoint, eup water borated to the existing concentration of the reactor coolant system can be matically supplied. When the level in the tank reaches the low-low level setpoint the charging p suction is transferred to the refueling water storage tank.
volume control tank can be vented to the radioactive waste processing system. The volume trol tank is designed to handle all gases that come out of solution when the letdown flow is yed into the volume control tank.
mical Control mistry control of the reactor coolant consists of operational control of oxygen concentration maintaining excess hydrogen concentration in the reactor coolant. A chemical addition tank pump are used to inject hydrazine into the suction side of the charging pumps for subsequent ction into the reactor coolant system. The hydrogen concentration in the reactor coolant em is controlled by the hydrogen overpressure in the volume control tank. The lithium that is duced in the reactor coolant by the reaction B10 (n, ) Li7 is used as the pH control agent. The duction rate of lithium from this reaction is approximately 100 ppb per day at the beginning of life, and decreases with core lifetime in proportion to boric acid concentration. One 28/18 9.2-4 Rev. 36
ification is accomplished by a combination of ion exchange and filtration. Using one fication ion exchanger intermittently, the reactor coolant lithium concentration is controlled hin specification limits. The control of other impurities such as chlorides and fission products ccomplished by the continuous operation of the second CVCS purification ion exchanger. This ond ion exchanger has been converted to the lithium form and does not remove lithium. These exchangers remove soluble nuclides by the ion exchange mechanism and insoluble particles mpingement of these particles on the surface of the resin beds.
tridge type filters are located upstream and downstream of the ion exchangers to remove luble particles. These filters are removed from service when the pressure drop across the rs, becomes excessive, or when the radiation dose exceeds a predetermined level. A strainer is ted downstream of the ion exchangers to insure against the gross release of resin in the kely event of an ion exchanger retention element failure.
volume control tank is provided with a vent to the waste processing system to allow the ting of hydrogen, nitrogen and fission gases.
ead of controlling the buildup of hydrogen in the waste gases, oxygen is minimized in the es vented to the waste processing system. All systems and components containing hydrogen maintained under slightly positive pressure, with nitrogen if required, to prevent the leakage ir into these systems and to preclude the formation of a potentially dangerous mixture of O2.
he event that oxygen concentration exceeds safe limits, nitrogen will be introduced into the te gas system to lower the concentration of oxygen.
chemical and volume control system is designed to prevent the reactor coolant fission and osion product activities from exceeding the design basis values given in Table 11.A-1 when rating with 1 percent failed fuel.
ctivity Control boron concentration of the reactor coolant is controlled by the makeup portion of the CVCS
- a. Optimize the position of the control rods;
- b. Compensate for reactivity changes caused by variations in the temperature of the coolant, core burnup, and xenon concentration variations;
- c. Provide a margin of shutdown for maintenance, refueling or emergencies.
28/18 9.2-5 Rev. 36
mally, the CVCS adjusts the boron concentration of the coolant by the feed and bleed ration. To change concentration, the makeup system supplies either demineralized water, centrated boric acid or any intermediate blend to the volume control tank or charging pump ion. During this time, the letdown stream is diverted to the radioactive waste processing em. Toward the end of a core cycle, the deborating ion exchanger is used to reduce the boron centration. This avoids the generation of an excessive quantity of waste from feed and bleed ration.
CVCS can add boron to the reactor coolant at a sufficient rate to override the maximum ease in reactivity due to a cooldown and the decay of xenon in the reactor.

down Control Valves mally, one of the letdown control valves (CH110P, CH110Q) regulates letdown flow, as uired by the pressurizer level control system. The valves reduce the pressure of the letdown d to about 500 psig. The letdown flow is nominally 40 gpm, for coolant purification, but will y as the pressurizer water level changes. The valves are pneumatically operated and fail ed. All parts in contact with reactor coolant are of austenitic stainless steel. The valve racteristics are given in Table 9.2-4.

The tank is of austenitic stainless steel construction and is provided with rpressure protection. Level controls divert coolant to the radioactive waste processing system igh level or operate the makeup system on low level. The characteristics of the tank are given able 9.2-8.

The solution is prepared in the boric acid batching tank and flows through the boric acid hing strainer before entering the storage tanks. With boric acid concentrations in the BASTs than or equal to 3.5 weight percent, tank heaters are not required to prevent boron ipitation at Auxiliary Building ambient temperatures. Sampling connections are used to fy that the proper concentration is maintained. The tanks are constructed of stainless steel.

initiation of SIAS, these pumps line up with the charging pumps to permit direct transfer of centrated boric acid into the reactor coolant system. Each boric acid pump is capable of plying boric acid to three operating charging pumps. All wetted parts, except seals, are nless steel. The pump and strainer characteristics are given in Table 9.2-11.
3 SYSTEM OPERATION 3.1 Startup ing RCS fill, the CVCS back pressure control valve is normally used to control RCS pressure.
S heatup commences after a steam bubble is established in the pressurizer. During RCS tup, CVCS (charging pumps and letdown) are used to maintain pressurizer level and RCS entory; pressurizer heaters and spray are used to maintain RCS pressure. The level controls in volume control tank automatically divert the letdown flow to the radioactive waste processing em (RWS).
en the reactor is shut down, the volume control tank is vented to the radioactive waste cessing system and then pressurized with nitrogen. Prior to reactor startup, a hydrogen blanket stablished in the tank. Any oxygen in the reactor coolant is normally removed by radiolytic mbination with excess hydrogen in the coolant.
oughout startup, the letdown filters are in service to reduce the activity of wastes entering the S. The purification ion exchanger is also normally in service. Within limitations placed on the tdown margin, the boron concentration in the reactor coolant system may be reduced during tup. The operator may inject a predetermined amount of demineralized makeup water by rating the makeup system in the Dilute mode. The concentration of boron in the reactor lant is verified by chemical analysis.
3.2 Normal Operation mal operation includes both the hot standby condition as well as normal plant operation.

- a. Level instrumentation in the pressurizer automatically controls the volume of water in the reactor system by adjusting the letdown flow.
- b. The water level in the volume control tank is maintained manually or automatically, in accordance with plant procedures.
28/18 9.2-9 Rev. 36
- d. Changes in reactivity may be compensated for by adjusting the concentration of boron in the reactor coolant system by the feed and bleed operation. Late in core life, the boron in the reactor coolant is maintained at a very low concentration. At this time the feed and bleed operation would generate excessive quantities of wastes so further reduction is accomplished by use of the deborating ion exchanger. During steady state operation, precise reactivity control is accomplished by utilizing the feed and bleed method. Over core life, an increasing quantity of demineralized water is metered to the suction of the charging pumps in order to minimize power level fluctuations.
- e. The makeup system may be operated in four modes:
- 1. In the Dilute mode, a quantity of demineralized makeup water is selected and introduced into the charging pump suction or the volume control tank.
When the integrating flowmeter indicates that the selected quantity of makeup water has been added, the makeup flow is automatically stopped.
- 2. In the Borate mode, a quantity of concentrated boric acid is selected and introduced into the charging pump suction or the volume control tank, as described above.
- 3. In the Manual Blend mode, the flows of the demineralized water and concentrated boric acid can be set for any blend concentration between demineralized makeup water and concentrated boric acid. This mode is primarily used to supply makeup to the volume control tank and refueling water storage tank.
- 4. In the Automatic mode, the flow rates of the demineralized water and concentrated boric acid are set to match the concentration present in the reactor coolant system at that time in core life. The solution is automatically blended and introduced into the volume control tank according to signals received from the volume control tank level program.
The makeup system is normally set for the dilute mode of operation. This allows the operator to closely monitor all additions to the RCS.
- f. The letdown flow is normally routed through one of the purification ion exchangers to reduce coolant activity.

nt shutdown is accomplished by a series of operations which bring the reactor plant from a hot dby condition at normal operating pressure and zero power temperature to a cold shutdown dition.
ore the plant is cooled down, the RCS is degassed to reduce the concentration of fission gases hydrogen in the reactor coolant system. The operator may also increase the letdown flow rate ccelerate the degasification, ion exchange, and filtration processes. All CEAs are inserted and DMs deenergized to begin the mode change to the shutdown condition to prevent inadvertent A withdrawal from subcritical conditions. During cooldown, boron is added, as needed, to the tor coolant system in accordance with plant procedures to maintain adequate shutdown gin.
ing the cooldown, the charging pumps, letdown control valves and letdown backpressure trol valves are used to adjust and maintain the pressurizer water level. The charging system is ned to the Boric Acid Storage Tank(s) or RWST for RCS makeup during cooldown until the uired shutdown margin is verified. The charging suction is then switched to the Refueling er Storage Tank. These steps ensure the proper shutdown margin is maintained. A portion of charging flow is used as an auxiliary spray to cool the pressurizer when the pressure of the tor coolant system is below that required to operate the reactor coolant pumps.
3.4 Safety Injection Operation (Emergency Operation) er emergency conditions, the charging pumps function to inject concentrated boric acid into reactor coolant system. Either the pressurizer level control or the SIAS will automatically start available charging pumps. Normally one of the pumps will already be running. The SIAS al will also function to transfer the charging pump suction from the volume control tank to the harge of the boric acid pumps. If the boric acid pumps are not operable, boric acid flows by vity from the concentrated boric acid tanks to the charging pump suction header. If the rging line inside the reactor containment building is inoperative, this line may be isolated ide the reactor containment building, and the concentrated boric acid solution may be injected he charging pumps through the high pressure safety injection header.
tions of the charging system may be employed to provide long term cooling and boron ipitation control in the event of a LOCA by simultaneous hot and cold leg injection. In the nt that the preferred LPSI hot leg injection method is unavailable, HPSI pump P-41A is ned to inject to the pressurizer auxiliary spray line, and thus the hot leg, through piping in the rging system.

4.1 Special Features assure reliability, the design of the CVCS incorporates component redundancy as well as rational redundancy. This is provided as follows:
Component Redundancy rification Ion Exchangers Parallel Standby Unit arging Pumps Two Parallel Standby Units tdown Flow Control Valves Parallel Standby Valve ric Acid Pumps and Tanks Parallel Standby Unit ckpressure Control Valves Parallel Standby Valve ddition to the component redundancy it is possible to operate the CVCS in a manner such that e components are bypassed. While the normal charging path is through the regenerative heat hanger, it is also possible to charge through the high pressure safety injection header. It is sible to transfer boric acid to the charging pump suction header by bypassing the volume trol tank, or by bypassing the makeup flow controls and the volume control tank. On SIAS separate paths to the charging pump suction header are lined up for boric acid transfer ough boric acid pumps and through the gravity feed line). If the letdown temperature exceeds
°F, the flow will automatically bypass the ion exchangers and flow to the process radiation nitor and boronometer is stopped.
charging pumps and boric acid pumps are powered by an emergency bus if normal power is
. The boric acid pumps and the motor-operated gravity feed boric acid valves are powered m different buses. Separation is provided between the power and control circuits for the undant boration paths.
ndby features are provided so that at least one charging pump is running after SIAS. Separate er supplies and control circuits are provided among the charging pumps, boric acid pumps the gravity feed boric acid motor-operated valves. Since both boric acid pumps are powered m the same power supply, the redundancy for boration is achieved by the design of the boric gravity feed piping arrangement and gravity feed motor operated valve as the redundant path boration.
ting of the boric acid solution in the Boric Acid Storage Tanks and the piping between the STs and the charging pumps is not required since the boric acid concentration is limited to 3.5 percent and will remain in solution under normal ambient area temperatures. Heat tracing will maintained on the Boric Acid Batching Tank, the batching strainers, and the piping upstream he BASTs because of the possibility of filling these sections with cold water.

ding is inoperative, the charging pump discharge may be routed via the safety injection em to inject concentrated boric acid into the reactor coolant system.
failure position of the backpressure control valves is the closed position. If the valve fails to n, relief valve CH-354 will protect the low pressure portion of the letdown line under all umstances. However, if the CVCS is in the maximum purification mode there is a possibility flashing downstream of the drag valves could occur. However, the maximum purification de of operation requires maximum component cooling water flow to the letdown heat hanger; thus, the letdown heat exchanger would prevent any two-phase flow condition nstream of the heat exchanger. In addition, if the temperature out of the letdown heat hanger exceeds 140°F, the letdown flow would bypass the ion exchangers. Also, should the es remain open, the low pressure alarm on the backpressure controller would alert the rator that the valve is no longer functional. Note that in none of these cases would the VCT be ject to over-pressure. In any case, the VCT has a relief valve with a relieving capacity of 250 which is set to protect the VCT from exceeding its design pressure. Also, a VCT high sure alarm provides notification that the VCT is above its normal operating pressure but w the VCT relief valve setting. The volume control tank also has a high temperature alarm ve 130°F. Therefore, there is adequate warning and protection to prevent any pressure buildup he low-pressure portion of the system.
uld the backpressure control valves fail closed, the intermediate pressure relief valve
-345) would preclude any overpressure condition from existing. The operator would be ted to this condition by a high pressure alarm on the pressure controller (PIC-201). There ld not be any flashing flow because of the higher set pressure of this relief valve. Since this kpressure control valve fails closed, there is no overpressurization problem downstream of this e and the relief valve relieves the pressure upstream of this valve.

1 DESIGN BASES 1.1 Functional Requirements shutdown cooling system, in conjunction with the main steam and feedwater systems, is gned to reduce the temperature of the reactor coolant in post shutdown periods from normal rating temperature to the refueling temperature. The main steam and feedwater system is zed in the initial phase of the cooldown. The shutdown cooling system functions to reduce the lant temperature to the refueling temperature and also maintains this temperature during eling.
ueling water transfer from the refueling water storage tank (RWST) to the refueling cavity in containment building is normally accomplished after the reactor vessel head has been oved by using the high pressure safety injection pumps, low pressure safety injection pumps he refueling water purification pumps. The high pressure safety injection pumps take suction m the RWST and discharge into the reactor coolant system and then to the refueling cavity via open reactor vessel. Pumping continues until the refueling cavity is filled. The low pressure ps can be used to return the refueling water from the refueling cavity to the RWST.
ing shutdown or refueling, the shutdown cooling system can be aligned to cool the spent fuel l system using the low pressure safety injection pumps (see Section 9.5) shutdown cooling system heat exchangers are normally used during the recirculation phase either the containment spray system or the shutdown cooling system, when RCS conditions mit following a LOCA. If permissible RCS conditions exist post-LOCA, the shutdown cooling t exchangers may be aligned to the shutdown cooling system and shutdown cooling may be ated for longterm cooling. Otherwise, the shutdown cooling heat exchangers remain aligned he containment spray system which is used to cool the recirculated water.
functional performance requirements for the shutdown cooling heat exchangers during mal alignment or during LOCA recirculation mode are provided in Table 9.3-1.
owing a LOCA, when the containment spray system is no longer required, the RCS is filled, the shutdown cooling system entry conditions have been met, the preferred method by which rovide long term cooling and boron precipitation control is with the shutdown cooling system s normal plant operation alignment. In the event that the RCS is not filled 8 to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> after start of the LOCA, then portions of the shutdown cooling system may be aligned for ultaneous hot and cold leg injection to provide long-term cooling and boron precipitation trol.
1.2 Design Criteria e selection and materials requirements are primarily related to the emergency operation ability of the system and are presented in Chapter 6. The shutdown cooling system 28/18 9.3-1 Rev. 36
tem components whose design pressure and temperature are less than the reactor coolant em design limits are provided with overpressure protection devices and redundant isolation ns. System discharge from over-pressure protection devices is collected in closed systems.
erials are selected to meet the applicable code material requirements of the codes given in le 6.3-3. All parts of components in contact with borated water are fabricated or clad with enitic stainless steel.
2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 System shutdown cooling system is shown schematically in Figure 9.3-1. The system uses portions ther systems, i.e., the reactor coolant system (Chapter 4), safety injection system (Section 6.3) containment spray system (Section 6.4).
he shutdown cooling system, reactor coolant is circulated using the low pressure safety ction pumps. The flow path from the pump discharge runs through normally locked closed es SI-452 and SI-453, through the shutdown cooling heat exchangers, through normally ed valves SI-456 and SI-457, through normally locked closed valve SI-657 to the low sure safety injection header, and enters the reactor coolant system through the four safety ction header legs. (As required for temperature control, a portion of the pump flow may ass the heat exchangers, going directly to the low pressure safety injection header by flowing ugh the shutdown cooling heat exchanger bypass valve SI-306.) The circulating fluid flows ugh the core and is returned from the reactor coolant system through the shutdown cooling zle in the loop number 2 reactor vessel outlet (hot leg) pipe. The coolant is returned to the ion of the low pressure safety injection pumps through normally closed valves SI-651 and
- 52. These valves are interlocked to prevent opening when the reactor coolant system pressure eeds the design pressure of the shutdown cooling system. Further, if either of these valves is n when reactor coolant system pressure exceeds a set point of 280 psia, an annunciator will
- m. Each valve is independently controlled by separate instrumentation channels. The interlock hese valves is also described in Sections 4.3.8.2.3 and 9.3.4.1.
ressure equalizing line is installed between the valve body of SI-651 and upstream piping
-CCA-10. The line will ensure that over-pressurization of the valve bonnet for SI-651 and sure locking of the valve does not occur.
tdown cooling and total low pressure injection flow are measured by an orifice meter installed he low pressure safety injection header. Flow is indicated in the control room. The flow ment also transmits a signal to a controller.
cooldown rate is controlled by adjusting flow through the heat exchangers with the throttle e SI-657 on the discharge of the heat exchangers. Relatively constant total shutdown cooling 28/18 9.3-2 Rev. 36
2.2 Interface With Other Systems ety Injection System low pressure safety injection pumps recirculate the reactor coolant during the shutdown ling mode of heat removal. The flow path is described in Section 9.3.2.1.
ctor Coolant System perature control during refueling and the initial cooldown to refueling temperature of the tor coolant system is accomplished by recirculating reactor coolant through the shutdown ling heat exchangers. Reactor coolant is circulated from the hot legs to the cold leg side of the tor vessel, thus maintaining the normal flow direction in the reactor coolant system during the eling cycle. During normal operation two closed valves provide isolation from the reactor lant system. The two isolation valves are also provided with pressure interlocks which lude them from being opened at a reactor coolant system pressure above the design pressure he shutdown cooling loop.
ctor Building Closed Cooling Water System RBCCW system provides the heat sink to which the reactor coolant system residual heat is cted. RBCCW water flows through the shell side of the shutdown cooling heat exchangers and functions to cool the shaft seals on the low pressure safety injection pumps as they circulate heated reactor coolant.
tainment Spray System ing normal plant operation the containment spray pumps are aligned to flow through the tdown cooling heat exchangers. In the shutdown cooling mode of operation isolation valves to separate the heat exchangers from the containment spray system.
mical and Volume Control System ng and valves are provided in the CVCS such that during shutdown cooling a portion of the can be bypassed from the outlet of the shutdown heat exchangers through the letdown ion of the CVCS and returned to the suction line of the low pressure safety injection pumps.
w through this bypass stream provides filtration and ion exchange of the reactor coolant via purification filter and ion exchanger.
nt Fuel Pool Cooling System ing shutdown or refueling, the shutdown cooling system can be aligned to cool the spent fuel l system using the low pressure safety injection pumps (see Section 9.5).
28/18 9.3-3 Rev. 36
tdown Cooling Heat Exchanger and Pumps Shutdown Cooling System is made up of components of the Safety Injection System and the ctor Coolant System. The principal characteristics of the major components in those systems given in Sections 6.3 and 4.0, respectively.
shutdown Cooling Heat Exchangers and low pressure safety injection pumps are described in tion 6.3. Additional information covering the characteristics of heat exchangers in the tdown cooling mode is given in Table 9.3-1.
tdown Cooling Pumps low pressure safety injection pumps are part of the Shutdown Cooling System but are shared h the safety injection system. During all periods of plant operation when safety injection em operability is required, they are aligned for the emergency core cooling operation.
low pressure safety injection pumps are vertical centrifugal pumps with mechanical seals to imize reactor coolant leakage to the atmosphere. The low pressure safety injection pumps are cribed in Chapter 6.
tdown Cooling Valves nual isolation valves are provided to isolate equipment for maintenance. Manual valves have kseats to facilitate repacking. Control valves are provided for remote and manual control of t exchanger tube side flow. Control valve 2-SI-306 has a lantern ring at the bottom of each of packing boxes followed by a set of packing. It is not equipped with and does not require king leak-off lines. 2-SI-657 has two sets of packing and intermediate leak-off connections discharge to the waste processing system. Check valves prevent shutdown cooling reverse through the low pressure safety injection pumps.
tdown Cooling System Piping shutdown cooling system piping is austenitic stainless steel. All piping joints and connections welded except for a minimum number of injection pumps, for example high pressure safety, orifice plates.
3 SYSTEM OPERATION 3.1 Plant Heatup r to plant heatup, RCS temperature is held stable with the shutdown cooling system removing ay heat. When heatup is started, the flow through the shutdown cooling heat exchangers is uced to allow decay heat to start warming up the RCS. Since shutdown cooling return perature is monitored as the indicator of reactor vessel temperature until RCPs are started, this 28/18 9.3-4 Rev. 36
temperature may then be adjusted as required to maintain the desired heatup rate within the ts of the Technical Specifications. When heat removal via the steam generators is available, shutdown cooling system is secured and lined up for emergency operation.
3.2 Normal Plant Operation ing normal plant operation there are no components of the system in operation. The system is mally aligned for possible emergency operation.
3.3 Plant Cooldown nt cooldown is the series of operations which bring the reactor from a hot standby condition to shutdown.
ldown to less than 300°F is accomplished by dumping steam to the condenser or to osphere. During this time, after safety injection is no longer required, the shutdown cooling em is prepared for operation. This includes aligning the shutdown cooling heat exchangers to LPSI pumps and the LPSI injection valves. This may also include boron equalization with the ST (through the SIT test line) or warm-up (through valve 2-SI-400). When dumping steam is longer effective in cooling down the reactor, and pressure has been reduced to within the gn pressure of the shutdown cooling system, shutdown cooling is initiated. This is done erably with two reactor coolant pumps still operating, but may be done while cooling down on ral circulation. Use of the reactor coolant pumps is preferred due to better control of the ldown rate and the ability to cool the entire RCS simultaneously.
iation of shutdown cooling is done by opening the suction isolation valves and gradually ning the injection valves with the heat exchanger flow control valve shut. When flow through system is established, the heat exchanger flow control valve is opened gradually to begin oving heat. If reactor coolant pumps are running, vessel temperature is taken as the cold leg perature. If initiating shutdown cooling from natural circulation, vessel temperature is taken old leg temperature until shutdown cooling return temperature becomes lower than cold leg perature. Then vessel temperature is taken as shutdown cooling return temperature. The RCS en cooled down at a rate governed by Technical Specifications. Heat removal is controlled by trolling flow through the heat exchangers with the flow control valve. As cooldown gresses, this flow is increased to compensate for reduced temperature difference. Relatively stant total flow is maintained through the use of the heat exchanger bypass valve and/or the ction valves. Component cooling water flow through the heat exchangers may need to be sted at some point in the cooldown dependent on whether the reactor coolant pumps are being d and the level of decay heat.
ing cold shutdown and refueling, as long as there is fuel in the reactor, shutdown cooling ration is continuous (with brief exception to support refueling).
28/18 9.3-5 Rev. 36
transfer of refueling water from the refueling storage tank to the reactor cavity may be omplished using the safety injection system at the start of refueling. The reactor vessel head is oved and the high pressure safety injection pumps are started. These pumps take water from RWST and inject it into the reactor coolant loops through the normal flow paths. The low sure safety injection pumps or the containment spray pumps may also be used for this ration.
ing shutdown or refueling, the shutdown cooling system can be aligned to cool the spent fuel l system using the low pressure safety injection pumps (see Section 9.5).
he end of refueling operations, refueling water is returned from the reactor cavity through the tor coolant system and safety injection system to the RWST. A connection is provided from shutdown cooling heat exchanger discharge to the refueling water storage tank for this pose. The low pressure safety injection pumps are used for the transfer operation.
3.5 Emergency Conditions mponents of the shutdown cooling system are also used for emergency core cooling and their ration in this mode of operation is discussed in Chapter 6.
4 RELIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY 4.1 Special Features unit can be cooled to refueling temperature within the 27.5 hour5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> time period using one LPSI p and two heat exchangers. The unit can still be cooled to refueling temperature if only one t exchanger is available, but it would take considerably longer. The unit can be maintained at eling temperature with one pump and one heat exchanger after decay heat has decreased iciently.
he event of a tube to shell leak in the heat exchanger, a high level alarm on the component ling water surge tank will be generated. The tank overflows to the waste disposal system.
o motor-operated valves in series isolate the shutdown cooling system suction piping from the tor coolant system. An interlock with pressurizer pressure prevents them from opening when tor coolant system pressure exceeds the design pressure of the shutdown cooling system.
er to Section 4.3.8.2.3 for further details. Additionally, one of the valves (2-SI-651) has a onnect switch in its power circuit locked open while it is closed and the Unit is in Modes 1, 2
, due to Appendix R fire concerns. 2-SI-651 has the disconnect switch in its power circuit ed open while it is open and in Modes 5 or 6, to preclude inadvertent operation during tdown cooling.
ssure relief valves are provided to protect isolated sections of piping from overpressure. The rce of overpressure for which they are sized is thermal expansion for all but 2-SI-468, which is 28/18 9.3-6 Rev. 36
r pressurization due to an ambient temperature rise.
ief valve 2-SI-469, which is located between two suction isolation valves, has a setpoint of psig and relieves to the primary drain tank. If reactor coolant system pressure is increased h 2-SI-652 inadvertently left not fully closed, or if it is opened prior to sufficiently reducing tor coolant system pressure, 2-SI-469 will open and relieve to the drain tank which is ipped with pressure, temperature, and level alarms. This arrangement results in an extremely interfacing systems LOCA frequency associated with the SDC suction path.
SDC System is susceptible to an overpressure transient due to an inadvertent start of a HPSI p since the injection capability of a HPSI pump exceeds the installed SDC System relief acity. To eliminate an over pressurization of the SDC System caused by an inadvertent start of PSI pump, the HPSI pumps will be prevented from automatically injecting into the RCS when SDC System is connected to the RCS, unless the RCS is sufficiently vented. This can be omplished by the use of administrative controls.
pressure interlock associated with valve 2-SI-651 in the shutdown cooling system has an alled local control switch which can override the pressure interlock to align the shutdown ling system for boron precipitation control post-LOCA. Use of the override would only be uired if vital bus power to motor control center B51 were lost in conjunction with the LOCA.
operators would verify RCS pressure below the shutdown cooling relief valve setting prior to rriding the pressure interlock. The pressure interlock for 2-SI-652 does not have override ability and cannot be opened if reactor coolant system pressure is greater than 280 psia.
4.2 Test and Inspections h component is inspected and cleaned prior to installation. Demineralized water is used to h each system. Initially, the system is operated and tested to verify that the flow path, flow, mal capacity, and mechanical operability meet the design requirements. Instruments are brated during testing. The automatic flow control is tested.
odic testing of the low pressure safety injection pumps as described in Chapter 6, assures the ilability of this equipment for shutdown cooling. Data can be taken during refueling operations onfirm heat transfer capacity.

2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 System RBCCW system is shown schematically in Figures 9.4-1 through 9.4-6. The logic diagram is wn in Figure 7.3-1.
RBCCW system consists of two independent headers, each including one motor-driven CCW pump, one RBCCW heat exchanger, and associated piping, valves, instrumentation, trols and a downcomer from the RBCCW surge tank. A third RBCCW pump and heat hanger is provided as a spare for the system.
undant safety feature components, cooled by the RBCCW system, are split between the two pendent RBCCW headers. The other systems and components cooled by the RBCCW system divided between the RBCCW headers to equalize header heat loads.

The RBCCW is cooled in the RBCCW heat hangers by the service water (seawater) (Section 9.7.2.2.1).
RBCCW System is designed to provide cooling for the following system operating ditions:
Normal Operation 3.5 Hours after Shutdown 27.5 Hours after Shutdown Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) Injection Operation LOCA Recirculation Operation tem hydraulic analysis and flow balancing were performed to ensure that the minimum uired flows can be provided to essential safety related loads for the above operating conditions.
flow balance was field tested to demonstrate that when the safety injection actuation signal AS) and the sump recirculation actuation signal (SRAS) automatically realigns the system, the imum required flows will be provided to the essential safety related loads during LOCA ction operation (condition IV) and LOCA recirculation operation (condition V). Table 9.4-3 tifies the minimum required flows for these two post-accident operating conditions.
RBCCW pump and heat exchanger design is based on requirements during normal operation, mal shutdown cooling and a LOCA. This results in a design which provides an adequate ling capacity for normal and emergency conditions, including reactor shutdown.

lower half of the RBCCW surge tank is divided into two equal sections by a vertical weir. If of the two independent RBCCW headers ruptures, the vertical weir in the RBCCW surge tank res that 1000 gallons of makeup water will be available to the functional header.
mineralized water is used for makeup and comes from the primary water storage tank ction 9.12). A flow orifice is located in each surge tank discharge header downstream of the et isolation valves to dampen pressure surges that result from cold starts of the RBCCW ps that could occur following an LNP scenario.
keup water supplied to the RBCCW surge tank enters from the top of the surge tank at two tions on either side of the weir, therefore, makeup water can be supplied to both sections of tank. To stop the flow of water to the failed header, manual valves can be closed.
following instrumentation and alarms located on the main control board give sufficient rmation to assure the operator that makeup water is being supplied to the RBCCW surge tank ion supplying the functional header:
- 1. Position lights ZS-6000 on makeup valve LV-6000 indicate whether the valve is open or closed. A timed alarm ZAH-6000 indicates that the valve has been open longer than required for normal makeup.
- 2. Level controller LC-6000 controls 6 inches above the weir, so regardless of which side fails, the controller will keep the makeup water valve LV-6000 open until the failed header is repaired or until the valve is closed by the hand switch HS-6000 or by using manual valves.
- 3. Level indicators LI-6001 and LI-6730 indicate the water level in each of the two sections of the surge tank. Alarm LAHL-6892 indicates high and low water level in the surge tank.
valves, piping, instrumentation and alarms described above are shown on Figure 9.4-1.
rosion inhibitor can be injected into the RBCCW system to increase the optimal concentration ng normal operation, as required.
ernal leaks, relief valve discharges and drains are collected by the drains system and processed ugh the radioactive waste processing system. Leakage into the RBCCW system can be rmined by a radiation monitor installed on the discharge of the RBCCW pumps.
RBCCW system components located in the containment building are subject to a maximum perature of 289°F and a maximum relative humidity of 100 percent during post-incident ration. The RBCCW system components located in the auxiliary building are subject to a perature of 110°F and a maximum relative humidity of 100 percent. The RBCCW pumps and ors are subjected to a maximum temperature of 155°F after a LOCA.

2.2 Components escription of the major RBCCW system components is given in Table 9.4-1.
3 SYSTEM OPERATION 3.1 Normal Operation ing normal operation, RBCCW is supplied to the components described in Section 9.4.2.1 h the exception of the shutdown heat exchangers and the engineered safety features room air rculation and cooling units.
o RBCCW pumps and two RBCCW heat exchangers are required for cooling service during mal operation. The heat load per RBCCW heat exchanger during normal operation is 16.8 x Btu/hr (header A) and 23.4 x 106 Btu/hr (header B) and the RBCCW discharge perature is 85°F when the RBCCW heat exchangers are cooled by service water up to imum temperature of 80°F.
operation of the RBCCW system is monitored with the following instrumentation:
- a. A temperature detector in the inlet and outlet line of the RBCCWS heat exchangers and temperature alarms in the outlet lines.
- b. Pressure indicators in the lines between the pumps and the RBCCWS heat exchangers.
- c. Level alarms and a controller on the surge tank.
- d. Temperature detectors located on the outlet lines of the components being cooled.
- e. Flow indicators and high flow alarms in both headers on the discharge side of the RBCCW heat exchangers.
- g. Hand switches and indicating lights for the pumps and remotely operated control valves.

owing a LOCA, the RBCCW system is automatically aligned for post-incident cooling by the ty injection actuation signal (Section 7.3), the containment isolation actuation signal ction 7.3) and the sump recirculation actuation signal (Section 7.3). The SIAS and CIAS ates valves to stop the RBCCW flow to components not required during a LOCA and to ate RBCCW flow to the engineered safety features room air recirculation and cooling units.
SRAS signal will open the RBCCW shutdown heat exchanger outlet valves. Prior to the AS signal, the RBCCW shutdown heat exchanger outlet valves have a safety function to ain closed (during the injection phase of a LOCA) to ensure adequate RBCCW flow is cted to the CAR coolers. The RBCCW is also supplied to the HPSI, LPSI and containment y pump seal coolers.
RBCCW system operation during a LOCA uses two RBCCW pumps, two RBCCW heat hangers and two headers for LOCA cooling. If one RBCCW header is lost, one RBCCW p, heat exchanger and one header can provide adequate cooling.
culations provide the basis for the FSAR Section 14.8.2 Containment Pressurization Analysis.
maximize the containment pressurization consequences following a MSLB or LOCA accident, e analyses minimize the energy removed from containment by the CAR cooling units and the C heat exchangers. This is accomplished by assuming design fouling of the CAR cooling s, the SDC heat exchanger, and the RBCCW to Service Water heat exchangers, and minimum CCW flow distributions assuming degraded RBCCW pumps. Prior to the sump recirculation AS), two CAR cooling units transfer a maximum of 160 million BTU/hour of energy to the CCW system. Following SRAS, two CAR cooling units transfer a maximum of 70 million U/hr and the SDC heat exchanger transfers a maximum of 47 million BTU/hour of energy to RBCCW System.
RBCCW peak temperature analysis, which maximizes the RBCCW temperatures by ming clean CAR cooling units and SDC heat exchangers, with maximum RBCCW flow ributions was performed to evaluate the system design capability.
ed on the RBCCW peak temperature analysis, the maximum RBCCW heat load from the two tainment air recirculation and cooling units plus the balance of plant components is 204.4 x Btu/hr during the injection mode following a LOCA. During the recirculation mode following OCA the maximum calculated heat load of 130.7 x 106 Btu/hr is transferred to the RBCCW em through the containment air recirculation and cooling units, the shutdown heat exchanger the balance of plant components. The design heat removal capacity of the RBCCW heat hanger is 160 x 106 Btu/hr during the injection mode, but calculations demonstrate that the t exchangers can adequately handle the 204.4 x 106 Btu/hr heat load.
RBCCW peak temperature analysis calculated the maximum system supply temperatures ed on maximum RBCCW flow distribution values, clean CAR coolers and SDC heat hangers, and fouled (design) RBCCW heat exchangers. The component maximum outlet peratures were then determined based on design heat loads. The system components and 28/18 9.4-6 Rev. 36

The Primary Sample Coolers may also eturned to service as necessary to support PASS cooling.
failure mode analysis is given in FSAR Table 9.4-2 which describes how leaks and functions are detected and what corrective actions must be taken to insure that the safety ctions performed by the RBCCW System are not impaired. Once the operator has detected a or malfunction, the operator will isolate the equipment for repair maintenance if ironmental conditions permit operation of manual valves. If environmental conditions do not mit isolation of the equipment, the entire header may be isolated remotely from the main trol room. The safety functions of the RBCCW system can be performed with only one header peration. If the leak or malfunction involves the RBCCW pump and heat exchanger, the pump heat exchanger can be isolated remotely from the main control room. Also, equipment in the tainment can be isolated remotely in the main control room by closing the containment ation valves.
ief valves, on the RBCCW supply and return headers serving the reactor Coolant Pumps gral heat exchangers, ensure that the RBCCW containment isolation valves, on these headers, be closed during an intersystem LOCA, by ensuring that the valves will not be rpressurized to the point that the valve motors cannot close the valves. The relief valves, ch have a set pressure of 165 psig may open upon a rupture of an integral heat exchanger tube eyond design basis event). This is required in response to NRC IN 89-54 to preclude an olable release of radioactive fluid outside of the containment that may exceed 10 CFR 100 ts.

RBCCW system, consisting of two independent headers, is at a higher pressure than the ice water system during normal operations to prevent service water leaking into the RBCCW em. The only time that the RBCCW system pressure will be lower than the service water em is (1) during shutdown for routine maintenance, (2) if the RBCCW pumps malfunction or if there is a major RBCCW leak greater than 400 gpm. Loss of RBCCW system pressure is cated by low pressure alarms (PAL-6036 & PAL-6037) located in the RBCCW heat hanger discharge headers. Once the operator has observed the low pressure alarm, it will be ided whether this branch can be easily isolated; if this is not possible, the RBCCW header will aken out of service and at the same time the shell side of the RBCCW heat exchanger will be ated. Therefore, the possibility of service water leaking into the RBCCW heat exchanger is ote. If service water does leak into the RBCCW system during periods of low pressure, it will etected by manual sampling on a routine basis.
ce the RBCCW system is potentially capable of contaminating the service water system with oactivity due to leakage, a detection system is located within the RBCCW system.
RBCCW System is continuously monitored for radioactivity by using a self-contained ed-loop radiation monitoring system consisting of (1) a gamma NaI(T1) scintillation detector mbly, (2) a 4 inch schedule 40 stainless steel sample chamber shielded with lead to reduce the ient background radiation level, (3) solid-state, control room readout module, (4) local meter cation with visual and audible alarms, and (5) auxiliary support equipment such as piping, es and recorder.
RBCCW sample is continuously taken from the RBCCW pump discharge and is circulated ugh the sample chamber and detector assembly. The sample returns to the RBCCW pump ion.
radioactivity present in the system is monitored by the gamma detector assembly, displayed recorded in the control room.
rm set points based on the limits established by 10 CFR Part 20, will result in alarm unciations in the control room and at the monitoring site.
3.3 Shutdown RBCCW system is required for continuous operation during normal unit shutdown cooling ction 6.3) beginning 3.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the start of unit shutdown. The RBCCW system supplies ling water to the shutdown heat exchangers to cool the reactor coolant from 300 to 130°F in 24 rs.
ing normal shutdown, such as for refueling, two RBCCW pumps and two RBCCW heat hangers are used for cooling. The heat load per RBCCW heat exchanger is 84.1 x 106 Btu/hr 28/18 9.4-8 Rev. 36
CCW heat exchanger discharge is less than 130°F when the RBCCW heat exchangers are led by service water at a maximum temperature of 80°F. At 27.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the start of Unit tdown, the heat load per RBCCW heat exchanger is reduced to 40.8 x 106 Btu/hr.
ne RBCCW heat exchanger or pump should malfunction, the spare can be immediately placed ervice, or the unit can be cooled down at a slower rate with one heat exchanger and one pump.
ing shutdown the operation of the RBCCW system is monitored as described in tion 9.4.3.1.
4 AVAILABILITY AND RELIABILITY 4.1 Special Features components of the RBCCW system are designed to general design requirements including mic response as described in Section 6.1. All components are protected from missile damage pipe whip from high pressure piping as described in Section 6.1.
nsure pump availability, each RBCCW pump motor is supplied from a specific 4160 volt bus.
buses may be powered from alternate sources (i.e., NSST, RSST, D/G, or via Unit 3 bus 34A 4B). In the event that reserve station service power is lost, the RBCCW pumps, required for ineered safety features systems cooling or normal shutdown cooling, are automatically plied by the emergency buses.
RBCCW pump motor is designed to withstand a maximum temperature of 155°F during a CA and maximum relative humidity of 100 percent.
RBCCW system is provided with a radiation monitor to alarm if radioactive fluids leak into RBCCW.
ailure mode analysis is given in Table 9.4-2. A rupture in the system is considered an initiating nt only; it is not postulated concurrent with a LOCA (or any other Chapter 14 event). System undancy and header separation have been provided to maintain continuous cooling in the event single passive failure during post-accident long term cooling.
4.2 Tests and Inspection RBCCW pump was shop-tested for hydraulic performance. Seven test points were used to erate the performance curve which is shown in Figure 9.4-7.
h pump was hydrostatically tested at 375 psi, 1.5 times the design pressure of the pump.
destructive testing for the RBCCW heat exchangers were performed in accordance with the ME Code Section VIII.
28/18 9.4-9 Rev. 36
- a. Shell side gas test (inert gas) at 188 psig which is 1.25 times the design pressure.
- b. Shell side hydrostatic test at 225 psig which is 1.5 times the design pressure.
- c. Channels hydrostatic test at 250 psig which is twice the tube side design pressure.
- d. Tubes, hydrostatic test at 150 psig, which is 1.2 times the tube side design pressure.
h component is inspected and cleaned prior to installing it in the system. Following allation, the RBCCW system undergoes a preoperational test before startup. The detail test cedure is described in Section 13.
ruments are calibrated during testing and the automatic controls are tested for actuation at the per set points. Alarm functions are checked for operability and limits during preoperational ing.
ially the system was operated and tested with regard to flow paths, flow capacity and hanical operability. At least one pump was tested online to demonstrate head and capacity ction 13).
a are taken periodically during normal operation to confirm the heat transfer capabilities.
or components of the system such as pumps, tanks, and heat exchangers are accessible for odic inspection during operation.
RBCCW system and components are periodically tested to demonstrate the operability, ormance, structural and leaktight integrity of the system and components. The testing is omplished as follows:
- a. During normal operation the RBCCW system components and piping are constantly pressurized by the RBCCW pump, therefore, they are constantly being tested for structural and leaktight integrity.
The operability and performance of all components except the engineered safety features room air recirculation and cooling units, the shutdown cooling heat exchanger, the spare RBCCW pump and the spare RBCCW heat exchanger is determined by observing the temperature, pressure and flow instrumentation associated with each component.
Online testing of the spare RBCCW component(s) (pump and/or heat exchanger) is performed by bringing the spare component(s) to be tested into operation while removing the operating component(s) from service. The operation and 28/18 9.4-10 Rev. 36
Online testing of the remotely operated valves actuated by SIAS signals and located on the discharge side of the containment air recirculation and cooling units, the spent fuel pool heat exchangers, the safeguards room air cooler units and the degasifier effluent cooler is performed by operating each valves manual control switch. The position of the valves is verified by position indication lights in the control room. Testing these valves during power operation by initiating SIAS signals is not performed as it results in unnecessary starting of the emergency diesel generators and causes RBCCW system flow transients which operators must respond to.
Online testing of the other remotely operated valves actuated by SRAS is performed by closing the appropriate manual valves and by manually initiating the SRAS signals for the valves on the discharge side of the shutdown heat exchangers. The position of the valves is verified by position indicated lights in the control room.
- b. During shutdown the operability and performance of the RBCCW components and the RBCCW system as a whole is determined by observing the flow, pressure and temperature instrumentation.
- c. After normal unit shutdown for refueling, the applicable portion of the RBCCW system used for engineered safety feature systems cooling is tested by actuating SIAS and SRAS signals to demonstrate operability and position of valves on a per facility basis. Structural and leaktight integrity of the system is tested separately as part of the Unit 2 Inservice Inspection Program.
RBCCW containment isolation valves for the supply and return lines for the Containment Air irculation and Cooling heat exchangers have T-Ring seats. In lieu of test results under CFR 50, Appendix J, Type C testing, the T-Ring seats will be replaced based on observed radation. These valves are not included in the Type C testing program because the valves are n during accident conditions. This eliminates a commitment made under letter A06107, dated 6/87 under Docket Number 50-336.
5 CODE STRUCTURAL QUALIFICATION code of record for the RBCCW piping system is USAS B31.1-1967. The portion of piping in containment penetration area is designated as ANSI B31.7, Class 2.
piping and support components are designed for the design basis loads for the appropriate combinations and criteria. The original code qualification was performed for the following conditions and effects: (a) internal pressure, (b) dead weight, (c) thermal expansion at imum temperatures, (d) OBE inertia loads, (e) DBE inertia loads, and (f) seismic anchor vements for OBE and DBE, as applicable. The system and components are evaluated for the 28/18 9.4-11 Rev. 36
postulated LOCA induced dynamic water hammer loads based on the scenario described in 96-06 is classified as Faulted Plant Occasional Mechanical Load because LOCA is a ulted Plant Condition. Although not part of the original design basis, this load is recognized design basis load.
acceptance criteria for piping is based on maintaining the combined primary stress due to current dead weight, internal pressure and dynamic LOCA/water hammer transient within the erial yield stress of piping at operating temperature. The acceptance criteria for design fication of support components corresponds to conservative Emergency stress limits (i.e.,
ME Level C Limits) as follows, with a minor exception as noted in item b: (a) structural steel ments-within 90% of yield per AISC Code (b) vendor supplied components Load Capacity per d Capacity Data Sheets (LCD) Level C, except those supports which are not protecting the ty related function of the RBCCW system in the post-accident scenario may be evaluated g LCD Level D (c) anchor bolts safety factors shall be 4 for Wedge type (e.g., HILTI KWIK LT) and 5 for shell type (e.g., Phillips Red Head) consistent with NRC I.E. Bulletin 79-02.
LOCA/water hammer is analyzed using dynamic time history analysis method. The time ory forcing functions applicable to various segments of RBCCW piping are determined by iled thermal hydraulic analysis of the system using RELAP 5/Mod 3.2 computer code.

1 DESIGN BASES 1.1 Functional Requirements function of the spent fuel pool cooling system is to remove decay heat generated by spent fuel mblies stored in the pool by limiting the temperature of the borated pool water to an eptable level, thereby ensuring the cladding integrity of stored spent fuel assemblies. In order nsure that spent fuel pool water temperature limits and fuel integrity are maintained two erent refueling operations are analyzed: (1) Normal refueling involves movement of a imum of 80 fuel assemblies or the equivalent heat load from the reactor vessel to the spent pool, and (2) A full core offload of all 217 fuel assemblies from the reactor vessel to the spent pool. A full core offload comprises of an end-of-cycle full core offload or a mid-cycle rgency full core offload. In the event of a full core offload, the spent fuel pool water perature will be limited to the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) limit of 150°F. This ld utilize one train of the shutdown cooling system for the limiting emergency full core oad. Under less limiting full core offload conditions, the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling system or nt Fuel Pool Cooling supplemented by the Shutdown Cooling system may be used, provided a Spent Fuel Pool temperature of less than 150°F is maintained spent fuel pool cooling system is provided with a cleanup system for maintaining the purity clarity of water in the spent fuel pool, refueling pool and the refueling water storage tank after pletion of refueling operations. The cleanup systems limit operating personnel radiation osures from these sources by reducing the concentrations of radioactive constituents oduced into these waters.

2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 System spent fuel pool cooling system, shown in Figure 9.5-1 is designed to remove decay heat erated by stored spent fuel assemblies by circulating the borated pool water through a heat hanger unit consisting of two heat exchangers in parallel. Cooling water for the heat hangers is supplied by the RBCCWS as described in Section 9.4. The two motor-driven ps take suction from the spent fuel pool at elevation 35 feet 6 inches, one foot below the mal operating level of elevation 36 feet 6 inches and at elevation 13 feet 0 inches through the er suction line. The normal depth of the spent fuel pool is approximately 38.5 feet of water.
spent fuel pool cooling water is returned to the bottom of the pool through three headers ch penetrate the pool walls approximately one foot below the normal operating water level, on opposite side of the pool from the supply headers to provide convective circulation of the pool er through the stored fuel assemblies.
re is a make-up connection attached to the emergency make-up water line for a portable diesel en pump to deliver make-up water to the Spent Fuel Pool. This connection is a defense-in-th design feature that is available for coping with an extended loss of AC power (ELAP) nt. The location of the BDB SFP FLEX make-up connection is shown on Figure 9.5-1, Sheet mal Refueling (fuel shuffle) first design basis for the spent fuel pool cooling (SFPC) system is for normal refueling (fuel ffle). Fuel movement to the SFP is assumed to start between 110 and 160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> of decay, and ceeds at an average rate of 6 fuel assemblies per hour. The case analyzed is refueling at the end lant life to maximize fuel inventory and therefore decay heat of spent fuel in the SFP. Decay t calculations are performed with ORIGEN-ARP. This normal refueling, started at 160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br />, duces a maximum conservative heat loading of 14.52 x 106 BTU/hr. With both trains of SFPC ervice and 85°F RBCCW spent fuel pool water temperature will be maintained to less than
°F.
ormal refueling with fuel movement starting after 110 hours0.00127 days <br />0.0306 hours <br />1.818783e-4 weeks <br />4.1855e-5 months <br /> of decay, and proceeding at an rage rate of 6 assemblies per hour over the refueling is acceptable as long as RBBCW perature is maintained at or below 75°F. The resulting maximum conservative heat loading in spent fuel pool is 16.18 x 106 BTU/hr. In the event that more than 81 fuel assemblies need to moved to the spent fuel pool the evolution may still be defined as a Fuel Shuffle as long as the 28/18 9.5-2 Rev. 36
h RBCCW temperature maintained at or below 75°F the spent fuel pool cooling system can ntain the spent fuel pool temperature at approximately 125°F with both pumps and heat hangers in service.
ngle active associated failure analysis of the spent fuel pool cooling system shows the limiting ure to be failure of RBCCW valve 2-RB-8.1A or 8.1B. Failure of either valve closed results in of cooling flow to the associated SFPC heat exchanger. This failure is more limiting than the of a SFPC pump. Failure of RBCCW valve 2-RB-8.1A or 8.1B in the closed position would lt in a SFP bulk water temperature greater than 150°F but less than 200°F, if the failure urred at maximum heat load. Should this limiting single failure occur, 1 train of the shutdown ling (SDC) system may be used to cool the SFP, or the SDC system may be used to plement the SFPC system. Used in this fashion, depending on heat load, between 0 to 1000 of SDC flow would be able to maintain SFP water temperature 150°F. See Section 9.3 for escription of the SDC. Since the SDC system will eventually be re-aligned for its ECCS uirements for Mode 4, the SFPC system must be capable of sustaining a single failure without stance from SDC upon entry into Mode 4. Analysis shows that once the SFP heat load drops 0.16 x 106BTU/HR, even if the limiting SFPC single failure occurs, the SFPC system will be to maintain SFP bulk water temperature 150°F. At least 616 hours0.00713 days <br />0.171 hours <br />0.00102 weeks <br />2.34388e-4 months <br /> of being subcritical or a t load of 10.16 x 106 BTU/HR is required prior to re-entry into Mode 4 from a refueling age.
SFP Cooling and SDC parameters used in this analysis are:
Credited SFP cooling flow is 850 gpm per SFP cooling pump.
Credited RBCCW flow to each SFP cooling heat exchanger is 1100 gpm.
Credited RBCCW flow to SDC heat exchangers is 3500 gpm.
Credited RBCCW temperature to SFP and SDC heat exchangers is 75°F for fuel movement starting after 110 hours0.00127 days <br />0.0306 hours <br />1.818783e-4 weeks <br />4.1855e-5 months <br /> of decay and 85°F for fuel movement starting after 160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> of decay.
SFP and SDC heat exchangers have a 1% tube plugging penalty.
odic maintenance of the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling system and associated supporting systems is uired. During the performance of maintenance activities it may be necessary to remove system ponents and portions of various support systems from service. While these components and ems are out of service, the ability of the Spent Fuel Pool Cooling system to meet single failure eria will be limited. These maintenance activities do not conflict with system design or nsing basis. Suitable redundancy is ensured by the shutdown risk program.

ditions, 2 trains of SFP cooling are sufficient to maintain SFP bulk water temperature 150°F.
ing refueling, for a fuel shuffle, under limiting postulated conditions, 1 train of SFP cooling need to be supplemented by Shutdown Cooling to maintain SFP bulk water temperature 50°F. A single train of Shutdown Cooling is sufficient to remove all decay heat from both the tor vessel and the SFP. Eventually during refueling, 1 train of SFP cooling is sufficient to ntain SFP bulk water temperature 150°F. For the final refuel outage, this point is reached hours after shutdown or when the SFP heat load is at or below 10.16 x 106 BTU/HR, when 1 n of SFP cooling is sufficient to maintain SFP bulk water temperature 150°F.
Core Offload as Normal Refueling second design basis for the SFP cooling system is for a full core offload as normal refueling.
l movement to the SFP is assumed to start after 110 hours0.00127 days <br />0.0306 hours <br />1.818783e-4 weeks <br />4.1855e-5 months <br /> with a RBCCW temperature of less or equal to 75°F or after 160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> with RBCCW temperature of less than or equal to 85°F.
fuel movement is assumed to proceed at an average rate of 6 assemblies per hour until all 217 assemblies are in the SFP and the reactor vessel is empty of fuel. The case analyzed is the l core offload at the end of plant life to maximize the fuel inventory, and therefore decay heat, pent fuel in the pool. At end of plant life, decay heat removal is needed for a total of 1343 fuel mblies and 3 consolidated fuel storage boxes. The number of fuel assemblies analyzed in the t load analysis bounds the number of fuel assemblies which can be physically stored in the

last full core offload at end of plant life, calculated in the above manner, produces a imum conservative heat loading of 34.59 MBTU/hr with a 110 hour0.00127 days <br />0.0306 hours <br />1.818783e-4 weeks <br />4.1855e-5 months <br /> core hold time and duces 30.90 MBTU/hr with a 160 hour0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> core hold time. With 1 train of SDC available during core offload to cool both the reactor vessel and the core, spent fuel pool water temperature will maintained to less than 150°F.
ing the refueling evolution, cooling is transitioned from the spent fuel pool cooling system to shutdown cooling system when the temperature in the spent fuel pool is observed to rise. This sition begins before challenging the conservatively established normal operating pool perature limit of 120°F.
train of SDC is assumed to be capable of delivering 3000 gpm, however the split of SDC going to the reactor vessel, or cooling the SFP will change during the core offload as the heat shifts from the core to the SFP. With this limiting heat load, at the start of the offload most of SDC flow will go to the reactor vessel (approximately 2000 gpm), with lesser SDC flow going he SFP (approximately 1000 gpm). By the end of the offload most of the SDC flow will go to SFP (up to 1900 gpm), with lesser SDC flow going to the reactor vessel (>1000 gpm). See tion 9.3 for a description of the SDC system.
SDC parameters used in this analysis are:
28/18 9.5-4 Rev. 36
Credited RBCCW flow to SDC heat exchangers is 3500 gpm.
Credited RBCCW temperature to SDC heat exchangers is 75°F for fuel movement starting after 110 hours0.00127 days <br />0.0306 hours <br />1.818783e-4 weeks <br />4.1855e-5 months <br /> of decay and 85°F for fuel movement after 160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> of decay.
SFP and SDC heat exchangers have a 1% tube plugging penalty.
ile the above analysis is for the limiting heat load case at end of plant life, it is acceptable to SFP cooling, or SFP cooling supplemented by lesser amounts of SDC, during any portion of core offload, provided that spent fuel pool bulk water temperature can be maintained below
°F.
core offload as a normal activity is acceptable because there are 2 redundant trains of tdown Cooling (SDC). One train of SDC is sufficient to ensure that the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) be maintained at a bulk water temperature 150°F even with the entire core offloaded to the
. The other train of SDC is available as backup, should there be a failure in the operating SDC
- n. In the event that maintenance activities during an outage cause the redundant train of SDC e unavailable, the Containment Spray (CS) pump has sufficient capacity (Design Temperature 00°F and Design Head of 390 feet at 1600 GPM) in this circumstance to cool the SFP and to ure that SFP temperature is maintained 150°F. The CS pump has no required function with core defueled. The CS pump supplemented by a SFP cooling train (if required) will be the ns of backup to SDC during SDC maintenance activities. Suitable redundancy is ensured per Shutdown Risk program.
refore, for a full core offload as normal refueling, the system is conservatively designed to ntain the water in the spent fuel pool water below 150°F during all normal conditions or single ve failure conditions.
ergency Full Core Offload third design basis for the spent fuel pool cooling system is for an emergency full core offload.
l movement to the SFP is assumed to start after 110 hours0.00127 days <br />0.0306 hours <br />1.818783e-4 weeks <br />4.1855e-5 months <br /> with a RBCCW temperature of less or equal to 75°F or after 160 hours0.00185 days <br />0.0444 hours <br />2.645503e-4 weeks <br />6.088e-5 months <br /> with RBCCW temperature of less than or equal to 85°F.
fuel movement is assumed to proceed at an average rate of 6 assemblies per hour until all 217 assemblies are in the SFP and the reactor vessel is empty of fuel. The case analyzed is during final fuel cycle at end of plant life to maximize the fuel inventory, therefore decay heat, of nt fuel in the pool. At end of plant life, decay heat removal is needed for a total of 1343 fuel mblies and 3 consolidated fuel storage boxes. The number of fuel assemblies analyzed in the t load analysis bounds the number of fuel assemblies which can be physically stored in the nt fuel pool. Decay heat calculations are performed with ORIGEN-ARP. Significant servatism is used in the calculation of the decay heat values. A conservatively short decay e of 36 days is chosen for the previous batch of discharge fuel, and 400 days decay for the vious discharge batch, to maximize decay heat of fuel stored in the pool.

There is no single failure uirement for emergency core offload calculations, per our current licensing basis. With two ns of SDC available during the emergency core offload, approximately 1900 gpm of SDC flow vailable to cool the SFP during the entire core offload. With 1900 gpm of SDC flow available ool the SFP, the SFP water temperature will be maintained to less than 150°F. See Section 9.3 a description of the SDC system.
SDC parameters used in this analysis are:
Credited SDC flow is 3000 gpm per LPSI pump, with a maximum of 1900 gpm diverted to cooling the SFP.
Two trains of SDC are assumed to be available.
Credited RBCCW flow to SDC heat exchangers is 3500 gpm.

ile the above analysis is for the limiting heat load case at end of plant life, it is acceptable to SFP cooling, or SFP cooling supplemented by lesser amounts of SDC, during any portion of emergency core offload, provided that SFP water can be maintained below 150°F.
refore, for an emergency full core offload, the system is conservatively designed to maintain water in the SFP below 150°F.
o since the emergency core offload represents the limiting heat load in the SFP, an additional lysis is performed to verify that the local water temperatures and local fuel cladding peratures were less than boiling. Results of that analysis show that at the maximum rgency core offload heat load, the maximum local SFP water temperature along the fuel mbly is less than 178°F, and the maximum local fuel clad temperature is less than 234°F.
se temperatures are below the local boiling temperature, at the top of the fuel assemblies, of
°F.
mal makeup to the spent fuel pool water inventory is supplied from the primary water storage at a rate of 50 gpm. The 50 gpm makeup capability is adequate to provide water at a rate ter than normal water loss due to evaporation and any system leakage. The maximum makeup ability of this permanently installed system is approximately 200 gpm. Backup makeup for the l is from the RWST by using one Refueling Pool Purification Pump to transfer the water at a of approximately 125 gpm. The RWST contents can also be transferred by the use of one I pump and the interconnecting piping between the spent fuel pool cooling system and tdown cooling system. A makeup capability of 3000 gpm for 15 minutes is possible from this 28/18 9.5-6 Rev. 36
ined from the fire protection system by using temporary hose connections. Flow is at a rate of gpm.
leakage and drains from the spent fuel pool cooling system components are collected in the n drains system and processed as aerated liquid waste as described in Section 11.1.3. The imum system leakage for an extended period of time for which adequate processing by the S is possible is 50 gpm.

prevent significant reduction in the fuel storage cooling water inventory, all connections to the l penetrate the pool walls near the normal operating water level so that the pool cannot be vity drained by leaking pumps, valves, etc. The cooling water return piping which extends to pool bottom is provided with anti-siphon devices.
tion 5.4.3 describes the way the spent fuel pool has been designed to prevent cooling water entory loss. The spent fuel pool liner leak monitoring and detection system consists of a series hannels welded behind each seam of the pool liner. Any leakage through the pool liner seams ollected in the channels which are piped to the open drain system. The drain header contains a l switch which annunciates in the main control room to alert operating personnel to any age. The drain header is provided with valves to isolate the leak and is of a small pipe size inch) to prevent significant water loss prior to isolation. The location of the leaks in the pool r seams is accomplished by pressurizing the channels with air and observing air bubbles rising he pool water surface. Sections 5.4.3.1.9 and 9.8.4 describe the provisions incorporated in the ion design to preclude and/or limit the consequences of a dropped fuel shipping cask.

leanup system consisting of pumps, filters, and a demineralizer is provided to maintain the ty and clarity of the water in the spent fuel pool, refueling pool, and the RWST after pletion of reactor refueling operations. The cleanup system is designed to remove corrosion fission products introduced into these waters by leaking fuel assemblies and mixing with tor coolant during refueling operations. The purity and clarity of these waters are maintained imit operating personnel doses. The radiation levels are closely monitored during refueling rations to establish the allowable exposures times for personnel in accordance with CFR Part 20.

2.2 Components escription of the components of the spent fuel pool cooling system is given in Table 9.5-2.
3 SYSTEM OPERATION 3.1 Normal Operation ing normal operation of the pool, both pumps and heat exchangers are in continuous service.
the decay heat generated by the spent fuel decreases, one pump is stopped. As the decay heat her decreases, operation of the system is intermittent as required to limit the pool water perature to less than or equal to 150°F.
described in Section 9.5.2.1, during refuel operations, the spent fuel cooling system, with stance from the shutdown cooling system when needed, is capable of maintaining spent fuel l water temperature below the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) limit of 150°F for a mal refueling through (and including) the end of plant life refueling. This includes allowance a single active failure of the spent fuel pool cooling system, or shutdown cooling system, as ropriate.
described in Section 9.5.2.1, the spent fuel pool heat load must decay to a value of 10.16 x 106 U/HR, for the SFP cooling system to be capable of withstanding the worst single active failure, maintain spent fuel pool water temperature 150°F. For the time period before the SFP heat drops to 10.16 MBTU/hr, should the limiting single failure occur, 1 train of the shutdown ling (SDC) system may be used to cool the SFP, or the SDC system may be used to plement the SFP cooling system, to maintain spent fuel pool water temperature 150°F.
a result of this need to depend on the SDC for potential SFP cooling single failure per hnical Requirements Manual (TRM), entry into Mode 4 following a refueling is not allowed l either:

At a SFP heat load of 10.16 x 106 U/hr, adequate cooling is available to maintain the SFP bulk water temperatures less than or al to 150°F should a single failure occur in the SFP cooling system.
se TRM limits assure that the shutdown cooling system would be available for supplemental ling and not committed to its emergency core cooling system functions.

ess of 140°F, to prevent demineralizer resin degradation. Alarms and procedural controls are d to prevent spent fuel pool water from reaching the demineralizer resin prior to the perature reaching 140°F.
ortion of the spent fuel pool cooling water flow, approximately 125 gpm, is passed through the nup system. Operation of this system as well as the skimmer system is intermittent as required maintain the clarity and purity of the spent fuel pool water. During refueling operations, the eling water purification pumps and spent fuel pool filters may be used for purification of the er in the refueling pool. The demineralizer is used as required for purification service on the nt fuel pool or refueling pool. At the completion of the refueling operations, the pumps are d for transferring the remaining refueling water from the pool to the RWST after the water l is lowered to the elevation of the reactor vessel flange.
3.2 Abnormal Operation mid-cycle emergency full core offload is placed in the spent fuel pool, the cooling capacity for additional spent fuel is provided by connecting the spent fuel pool cooling system with the tdown cooling system, if additional cooling is required to limit the pool water temperature.
shutdown cooling system is placed into service by manual initiation.
3.3 Emergency Conditions he event that a serious leak develops in the spent fuel pool liner, makeup water is supplied to pool from the primary makeup water system by manual initiation from the 14 foot 6 inches l of the auxiliary building. Should the leakage exceed the 50 gpm normal makeup capability, itional makeup is available from the RWST via the refueling water purification system, and fire protection system by temporary hose connections.
owing a postulated LOCA, RBCCW flow to the spent fuel pool cooling system is stopped by automatic closing of valves in the cooling water discharge piping from the heat exchangers on S. The availability of cooling water, normally supplied to the spent fuel pool system, allows greater heat removal capability in the engineered safety features components. As discussed r in Section 9.5.4.1, spent fuel pool cooling loss for a period of 9.76 hours8.796296e-4 days <br />0.0211 hours <br />1.256614e-4 weeks <br />2.8918e-5 months <br /> will raise the pool er temperature to 212°F. RBCCW cooling to the spent fuel pool cooling heat exchangers is ored 4 to 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> after the start of the postulated LOCA when the heat load on the RBCCW em is substantially reduced.
the normal case where spent fuel is stored in the spent fuel pool, it is unlikely that a seismic nt will cause loss of cooling water flow. The lines from the spent fuel pool to the suction of the nt fuel pool cooling pumps and from the spent fuel pool heat exchangers to the spent fuel pool e been designed and analyzed to Seismic Category I requirements and the remainder of the em, including the spent fuel pool cooling pumps, heat exchangers and their connecting piping, been analyzed and found to be in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements. This vides assurance that cooling water would be available from the spent fuel pool cooling system.

The LPSI interconnection is also capable of taking water from the refueling cavity ng outages when the inventory from the RWST has been utilized to fill the refueling cavity.
events or malfunctions that may require makeup to the spent fuel include the long-term loss pent fuel pool cooling heat removal capability, the failure of a steam generator nozzle dam h the fuel transfer tube isolation valve (2-RW-280) open or the refueling pool cavity seal with fuel transfer tube isolation valve (2-RW-280) open. The catastrophic failure of the cavity seal ot considered to be a credible event, but has been analyzed and is dealt with the unit cedures. Failures of the spent fuel pool structure are not considered to be credible. The ementioned events or malfunctions could allow the spent fuel to boil thus requiring makeup.
maximum required makeup would be approximately 85 gallons per minute which would be core offload conditions.
he case where a full core offload is stored in the spent fuel pool, it is improbable that cooling er flow will be lost entirely due to the redundancy of the cooling equipment. In the event that cooling water flow is lost while a full core offload is being stored in the spent fuel pool, eup water may be available from the refueling water storage tank, refueling cavity, or the densate storage tank.
4 SYSTEM AVAILABILITY AND RELIABILITY 4.1 Special Features spent fuel pool purification system can be used as a backup to maintain the RWST contents ve 50°F. However, this flow path has been administratively prohibited in certain plant rating modes and when the RWST is credited as a borated water source due to seismic/non-mic piping interconnection concerns.
spent fuel pool cooling pumps and heat exchanger units can be supplemented by the tdown cooling system.
most serious failure of the system would be the complete loss of the spent fuel pool water entory. To protect against this possibility, all connections to the pool enter near to or above the l operating water level, so that the pool cannot be gravity drained through leaking valves, ng and equipment maloperation. Piping which extends to the bottom of the pool is provided h antisiphoning devices.

28/18 9.5-21 Rev. 36 1 INTRODUCTION sampling system consists of Sampling Stations 1 and 2, the Corrosion Monitoring Sample ion, the Waste Gas Sample Sink, and the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS). These vide the means for determining physical, chemical and radioactive conditions of process ds, waste gas, and containment air.
ion 1 is in the sampling room located in the auxiliary building. It handles radioactive sampling the reactor coolant system, the chemical and volume control system (CVCS), and the oactive waste processing systems. The sample room contains the piping, valves, and cooling ipment necessary to reduce the pressure and temperature of the sample fluid or gas to eptable levels for grab sampling or collection in sample bottles. The sample streams are oactive or potentially radioactive and may contain boric acid. Grab samples are taken to the ochemistry laboratory for analyses. The system also contains online hydrogen and oxygen nitors. (See Figure 9.6-1) ion 2 is located in the turbine building. Continuous sampling by semi-automatic and manual hods can be performed. This station contains pressure reducing valves, cooling equipment, sure, temperature and flow control regulators, valves, piping, grab sample sink, continuous and conductivity monitors, recorders, indicators, ion chromatograph, and on-line sodium nitors. (See Figure 9.6-2)
Corrosion Monitoring Sample Station provides a means for sampling condenser hotwells for ence of sea water in-leakage. (See Figure 9.6-3)
Waste Gas Sample sink provides the means for sampling gasses in the volume control tank, te gas surge tank, and the waste gas decay tanks. See Section 11.1 for additional discussion of Gaseous Waste Processing System.
PASS has the capability to obtain samples of reactor coolant and containment atmosphere er accident conditions. The PASS is comprised of two independent units, designated reactor lant PASS and containment air PASS. The reactor coolant PASS is designed to obtain esentative samples of reactor coolant or liquid from the containment. The containment air S is designed to obtain a containment air sample. Once these samples are obtained, ological and chemical analyses can be performed.
2 REACTOR COOLANT PASS 2.1 Equipment Purpose and Description reactor coolant PASS is a dual module unit consisting of one sample module and one remote rating panel. Samples are trapped within the sample module. The equipment within the sample dule is operated remotely via the remote operating panel. The motive force for obtaining tor coolant samples is the differential pressure between the primary plant and the volume 28/18 9.6-1 Rev. 36
shielded, removable sample chamber within the sample module. Samples to be analyzed on are collected in shielded containers within the sample module. (See Figure 9.6-4) 2.1.1 Sample Module s module contains the valves and components required to physically collect the sample. All ponents are located within a stainless steel cabinet measuring approximately 22 inches wide, 4 inches deep, by 36 inches high, which sits on a 2 foot high stand. An exhaust blower is built the top of the cabinet and discharges into the plant radioactive exhaust ventilation system.
rs are provided on the cabinet for access to remove samples and to perform maintenance. The dule is located in the primary sample room. At this location, levels of radiation created at the dule during the purge of reactor coolant through the sample lines will not result in significant osure to the operator at the remote panel or to other individuals.
ple influent and effluent lines are connected to the sample module. Influent samples are taken m several points at Millstone Unit Number 2 via two flow paths. Reactor coolant samples can aken from the hot leg of the reactor coolant system. Samples of containment sump liquid can btained from the high pressure safety injection pumps, low pressure safety injection pumps, he containment spray pumps. Both influent samples pass through sample coolers prior to being vered to the sample module. Effluent lines connected to the module are directed to the volume trol tank.
2.1.2 Remote Operating Panel s module contains the sample system mimic board, electrical controls, and instrumentation out necessary to remotely operate the sample module. The remote operating panel is located he turbine building in an area which will have low radiation levels during an accident. The ote operating panel is connected to the sample module through electrical cables which carry er and instrumentation indication lines. Nitrogen gas supply lines, used to operate valves and ge the radioactive gas sample after sampling is completed, are hard-piped to the sample and ote modules. The face of the module is normally protected by a lockable closure to prevent age and unauthorized operation.
2.1.3 Reactor Coolant Auxiliary Valve Operating Panel (RCAVOP) s panel contains switches and electrical controls to operate the sample system isolation valves the system flush valves. The RCAVOP is located above the remote operating panel.
2.1.4 Deionized Water Flushing Module onized water flushing module is a modular unit designed to provide deionized water flushing ability at approximately one gallon per minute and up to 375 psig. The module is located cent to the remote operating panel.

The equipment is housed within a wall mounted cabinet, located in the spent fuel l skimmer pump area. An exhaust blower is built into the top of the cabinet and discharges the plant radioactive ventilation exhaust system. A door is provided on the cabinet for access emove samples and to perform maintenance. Influent and effluent connections are provided connection to the sample system piping.

1 CIRCULATING WATER SYSTEM 1.1 Design Bases 1.1.1 Functional Requirements function of the circulating water system is to provide a continuous supply of cooling water to main condenser.
1.1.2 Design Criteria
- a. The circulating water system shall be designed to remove the heat load from the condenser.
- b. The circulating water system shall be designed to use sea water for cooling.
1.2 System Description 1.2.1 System circulating water system is shown in Figure 9.7-1. Four one-fourth capacity (137,000 gpm h) motor driven vertical wet pit pumps circulate the water from the intake structure through the n condenser and discharge into the quarry. The water is taken from Long Island Sound ugh an intake trash rack and four traveling screens located inside the intake structure. The ens are designed to prevent debris larger than three-eighths inch from passing into circulating er pump, condenser and the service water pumps.
odium hypochlorite system capable of chlorinating circulating water on a shock treatment s is provided. The method of circulating water chlorination is gravity feed injection of sodium ochlorite solution directly to the running pump suction. The chlorination of the circulating er system, including the condensers, controls biological fouling while maintaining chlorine centrations within NPDES permit limits.
total inventory of the circulating water system is as follows:
- 1. Circulating Water Pump up to Turbine Building Condenser Pit Floor elevation equals 232,000 gallons.
- 2. Circulating Water above Condenser Pit Floor elevation equals 160,000 gallons.
- 3. Discharge piping below Condenser Pit Floor elevation to quarry equals 990,000 gallons.
28/18 9.7-1 Rev. 36
minimum time required to stop the circulating water flow would be the coastdown time of the ulating water pumps, 10 seconds. Factors affecting the actual time elapsed would be the rators evaluation of the alarms received in the control room and the severity of the failure.
p-out time for the control circuitry is in the order of a fraction of a second and is insignificant.
he event of a gross failure in the circulating water transport system resulting in the flooding of condenser pit by the discharge from all four circulating water pumps, the total time required to all water flow is approximately 16 seconds and occurs automatically.
circulating water transport system is designed to withstand the maximum operating discharge sure of the circulating water pumps, 10 psig. Piping is designed for 100 psig, with the ansion joints, butterfly valves, condenser water boxes and tube bundles designed for 25 psig.
mal operating pressure for these components has a range of 0-7 psig, with the outlet erboxes operating under a vacuum of about 15 to 20 inches Mercury Absolute.
all leaks around valves and fittings would go undetected except for visual inspection and ld drain into the condenser pit sump. The condenser pit sump is provided with 200 gpm acity sump pumps and provided with high level alarms to indicate water level in the pit 6 es below the top of the sump. Large leaks due to pipe or expansion joint ruptures would be cated in the control room by both a gradual loss of vacuum in the condenser shell and high-h condenser pit level switches, set at 10 inches and initiating a trip of the circulating water ps.
potential for ruptures is minimized by interlocking the circulating water pumps with the er box butterfly valves, requiring the valves to be open between 20 to 25% prior to starting the ps. The water box cross connect valves are also interlocked with the water box discharge es and initiate a pump trip in the event of an incomplete flow circuit. Therefore, the system is quately protected against over pressuring by the circulating water pumps due to improper e operation. However, all components in the system are hydrostatically tested at 1.5 times the gn pressure of 25 psig to ensure system integrity before normal operation.
ures in the circulating water transport system would be inconsequential except those urring above ground in the Turbine Building. The condenser pit is designed to contain these ures and has the capacity to store 284,450 gallons at a maximum depth of 9 feet before spilling r to the Turbine Building ground floor.
worst case of a major failure would be the complete rupture of all the circulating water piping oth condensers. This would result in the draining into the condenser pit of all circulating water se in the above ground components, approximately 160,000 gallons, and flooding the pit to a l of 47 inches. When the water level in the pit reaches 10 inches, approximately 4 seconds r the rupture, the high-high level switches in the condenser pit are actuated and cause the ulating water pumps to trip 2 seconds later. During this 6 seconds, the circulating water pumps have continued to pump approximately 55,500 gallons, which will also drain to the condenser raising the water level to 6 feet 2 inches. During the 10 second coastdown time of circulating 28/18 9.7-2 Rev. 36
750 gallons before overflowing. During the postulated failure and subsequent flooding of the denser pit, the water level is rising an average of 5.9 inches per second.
condenser pit will contain the water from any postulated failures in the circulating water em without affecting any safety related systems.
1.2.2 Components ratings and materials of construction of the circulating water system are given in Table 9.7-1.
1.3 System Operation four circulating water pumps are in operation during normal operation, with the operating ed of the pumps controlled by the variable frequency drives (VFD). In the event of VFD vailability, the VFD can be bypassed, allowing operation of the pumps at rated speed; ever, no speed control is available in this condition. A cross connection is provided between two water boxes at each end of each condenser shell. Valves are provided so either pump on a denser shell can provide water to both sides of the condenser if one pump is out of service.
valving also provides capability to back flush each condenser section.
inlet cross-connect valve between the condenser inlet water boxes will be opened manually ote) by the operator under the following conditions:
- 1. With one circulating water pump inoperable.
- 2. Following the trip of an operating circulating water pump.
- 3. In anticipation of a circulating water pump trip.
Condition 1:
If a circulating water pump is to be out for maintenance or otherwise inoperable, load will be limited as necessary to maintain vacuum. The inlet cross connect valve will be opened to supply water to both halves of the condenser from the operating pump.
Condition 2:
If during normal operation a circulating water pump(s) should automatically trip, the plant load will be reduced as necessary to maintain vacuum. The discharge valve of the tripped pump(s) will be closed, and the inlet cross connect valve will be opened. The circulating water pumps will trip on the following:
- a. Loss of lubricating water.
28/18 9.7-3 Rev. 36
- b. Pump breaker trip.
- c. VFD trip.
- d. Traveling screens High-High differential pressure.
This trip is preceded by a high differential pressure alarm.
Condition 3:
If during normal operation, it is apparent that a circulating water pump trip is imminent, the plant load will be reduced as necessary to maintain vacuum. The affected pump will be shut down and the pump discharge valve closed. The inlet cross connect valve will be opened. If VFD malfunctions occur, the VFD may be isolated and the affected circulating water pump operated with the VFD bypassed.
This operation requires that the affected circulating water pump be shut down during the transfer to the bypass mode of operation.
2 SERVICE WATER SYSTEM 2.1 Design Bases 2.1.1 Functional Requirements function of the service water system is to supply a dependable continuous flow of cooling er to the reactor building closed cooling water (RBCCW) heat exchangers, turbine building ed cooling water (TBCCW) heat exchangers, diesel engine heat exchangers, vital AC tchgear room cooling coils, chilled water heat exchangers and the circulating water pump rings.
2.1.2 Design Criteria service water system is designed to the following design criteria:
- a. The service water system shall be designed with suitable redundancy that in the event of a LOCA, concurrent with a loss of off site power and a single active failure, the service water system can perform its safety function. (Note: The postulation of a LOCA concurrent with a seismic event is outside the design basis.)
- b. The service water system shall be sized and shall have capacity to provide sufficient water for all modes of operation at a maximum ultimate heat sink temperature of 80°F.
28/18 9.7-4 Rev. 36
- d. The system shall be designed as a moderate energy system.
- e. The system shall be designed to withstand a pipe rupture (as an initiating event).
Single failures in the redundant train shall not be postulated to occur. Multiple failures of the service water piping will not occur.
ultimate heat sink consists of the service water cooling system serving the components tioned in Section 9.7.2.1.1. The water source for the heat sink is the Long Island Sound sea er. It provides sufficient cooling for more than 30 days:
- a. to permit safe shutdown and cooldown of the reactor and can maintain a safe shutdown condition for unit 2 and other units at the site;
- b. to allow control of an accident in the event one occurs.
UHS temperature determination method shall use SWS header/branch temperature surements. Precision instruments installed at the inlet to the reactor building closed cooling er (RBCCW) heat exchangers will normally be used. All in-service precision instruments t be within the limit. If all of the precision instruments are out of service, alternative ruments that measure SW supply side temperature will be used. In this case, an appropriate rument uncertainty will be subtracted from the acceptance criteria.
S supply temperature measurements shall be obtained for each operable SWS loop and the hest valid SWS supply loop temperature shall be used to determine the UHS temperature.
safety related equipment in the intake structure (pump motors and controls) are protected inst the maximum hypothetical tide and storm surges including wave action by being located ve elevations 22 feet 0 inches. The pumps are also designed for drought condition for low-low er level of minus 7 feet.
ultimate heat sink is served only by one source of water, that of the Long Island Sound sea er. The Long Island Sound sea water capacity is sufficient to provide a total maximum ntity of 24,000 gpm cooling water for more than 30 days. A second source of water is not uired.
als or conduits between the water source and the intake structure are not provided. The intake cture is located on the water source.
28/18 9.7-5 Rev. 36
2.2.1 System service water system is described by Figure 9.7-1. Three half capacity (12,000 gpm each) ical wet pit motor driven pumps take suction downstream from the traveling screens in the ke structure. Two independent cross-connected supply headers with isolation valves are vided to all heat exchangers. Two independent discharge headers are provided for the RBCCW t exchangers that run above ground from the discharge of the heat exchangers to the discharge al. Two discharge headers are provided, one for each diesel, for the diesel generator cooling er heat exchangers. One discharge header is provided for the TBCCW heat exchangers as the e discharge pipes are combined above ground prior to entering the discharge canal. The harge header for the chilled water system and for the vital switchgear room cooling heat hangers combine with the TBCCW heat exchanger discharge header before entering the harge canal. Normally, one pump and service water header are required to provide cooling of RBCCW and diesel generator cooling water heat exchangers following a loss-of-coolant dent (LOCA) or for Unit shutdown. In the event of a loss of station power, the pump motors supplied power from the emergency buses. The TBCCW headers are isolated for either a S or LNP signal.
2.2.2 Components escription of the service water system components is given in Table 9.7-2.
2.3 System Operation ing normal operation two pumps are operating and provide water to the RBCCW and the CCW heat exchangers and vital switchgear ventilation system cooling coils. Each pump is able of supplying the required service water to one train for accident mitigation and safe tdown. A third standby pump will be started remotely by manual means upon loss of an rating pump. During winter time operation (ultimate heat sink temperature less than 60°F), the dby RBCCW and TBCCW heat exchangers may be placed on-line (service water side only) rder to maintain service water pump minimum flow requirements. This may be necessary e much less service water flow is required to remove RBCCW and TBCCW heat loads as ice water temperature decreases.
2.4 Availability and Reliability undant headers and one spare pump are provided. Sea water is chlorinated to prevent slime, e, and mussel growth. Thermal backwashing (mussel cooking) is also performed to prevent ing of the intake structure pump bays. A sodium hypochlorite system capable of chlorinating ice water is provided. The service water chlorination system is capable of injecting sodium ochlorite solution into the service water pump suction bells via an injection pump system. The tion is taken up by the service water pumps and enters the service water system to provide ogical fouling control. Pump motors and controls are located at Elevation 22 feet 0 inches for d protection. The intake structure is designed to withstand any probable tornado missile.

significant coating or lining degradation will be promptly detected. This and proceduralized stigative and corrective actions ensure that coating or lining degradation will not impair ice water system safety functionality.
service water pump has been modified to an open-line shaft design. Thordon bearings are icated by sea water flowing through the pump. No external lube water is required.
service water pumps and motors are not susceptible to a failure from a common cause.
ure of a circulating water line cannot flood the intake structure since the discharge line is low rgy and located below grade. There are no sources of potentially damaging internally erated missiles within the intake structure. Rotating components are limited to the relatively w speed 300 rpm and 900 rpm motors on the circulating water pumps and the service water ps respectively. The rotating masses therein are essentially encapsulated within heavy motor dings. There is no high-energy fluid system to cause any missile within the intake structure.
intake structure louvers have been redesigned to resist penetration by any of the design basis ado driven missiles which were discussed in Section 5.2.5.1.2 of the FSAR.
exterior concrete walls are of adequate thickness to prevent perforation by any of the design s missiles. An investigation of generation of a secondary missile due to concrete spalling cates that only minor spalling may occur due to the impactive energy of the utility pole sile. This spalling is limited to the thickness of the protective cover on the steel reinforcing on interior of the structure. Secondary missiles thus assumed to form would not reach the closest ice water pump. The intake structure is constructed of materials which will not support bustion. Any potential fire, such as a service water pump motor, would be localized in a small and would normally be mitigated by a dry type of fire protection. The spatial separation proximately 20 feet.) would prevent damage to the redundant pumps.
only safety related system in the intake structure is the service water system.
service water pump motors and controls are protected against the maximum hypothetical tide storm surges including wave action.The pumps are also designed for low-low water of minus et. Flooding of the intake structure due to a circulating water pipe rupture is not credible ause the circulating water pipes are below the floor on the intake structure. In case of a service er pipe rupture no water accumulation can be sustained in the intake structure due to the floor ing. Catastrophic failure resulting in missile generation have not been experienced with ulating water or screen wash pumps. Therefore, the service water pumps have not been ected against missiles generated by the failure of circulating water or screen wash pumps.
ause of the redundancy of the service water system even if a hypothetical missile is generated causes the inoperability of one service water pump it will not effect the service water system ration because only two service water pumps are required for normal operation while only one eeded for emergency operation.

ded and the service water to the diesels must be isolated, cooling to one diesel is provided by oss-connection to the Fire Water System.
ailure mode analysis is given in Table 9.7-4. A rupture in the system is considered an initiating nt only; it is not postulated concurrent with a LOCA (or any other Chapter 14 event). System undancy and header separation have been provided to maintain continuous cooling in the event single passive failure during post-accident long term cooling.
2.5 Test and Inspections h service water pump and strainer was hydrostatically tested at 1.5 times the design pressure.
service water pump was tested per ASME Power Test Code Section 8.2, 1965 for hydraulic ormance. The service water pump design curve is given in Figure 9.7-3.
h component is inspected and cleaned prior to installation into the system. The service water em undergoes a preoperational test prior to startup; the detailed test procedure is described in tion 13.
ruments will be calibrated during testing. Automatic controls will be tested for actuation at the per set points. Alarm functions will be checked for operability and limits during preoperational ing.
system will be operated and tested initially with regard to flow paths, flow capacity and hanical operability. At least one pump will be tested on line to demonstrate head and capacity ction 13).
or components of the system such as pumps and strainers are accessible for periodic ection during normal operation.
t exchanger fouling and other component degradation is common in open cycle Service Water ems due to both macro and micro fouling. This fouling can lead to an inability to provide the ty related cooling that is the function of the Service Water system. NRC Generic Letter (GL) 13 required that actions be taken to confirm and maintain the capability of the Service Water em to perform its design basis functions. Actions performed to ensure the capability of the em to provide the required safety related cooling include:
- Injecting sodium hypochlorite to minimize biofouling. This injection prevents the attachment and subsequent growth of large quantities of mussels.
- Inspecting and cleaning the intake bays to minimize fouling. This cleaning removes fouling that might be drawn into the Service Water system and clog downstream components.
28/18 9.7-8 Rev. 36
near stagnant water can be conducive to the biological growth.
- Monitoring of available heat exchanger parameters to detect gross debris loading.
This periodic monitoring detects fouling build up in a heat exchanger between visual inspections.
- Inspecting heat exchanger, pipe, and other component internals on the Service Water Side to remove fouling and repair as needed. Periodic inspections identify component degradation or the slow buildup of fouling prior to it affecting component operability.
- Cleaning heat exchangers on the Service Water side to minimize fouling buildup.
Cleaning removes deposits of fouling that tend to occur in heat exchanger tubes.
- Tested heat exchangers to confirm design heat transfer capability. This testing and subsequent analysis verified heat exchanger performance was capable of meeting design requirements.
- Filling heat exchangers with fresh water during layup to minimize buildup of fouling and component degradation caused by stagnant seawater.

2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1 System 2.1.1 New Fuel Storage w fuel assemblies are transported by truck to the plant and into the auxiliary building in ulating agency approved containers. The new fuel assemblies are removed from the shipping tainers by the auxiliary hook of the spent fuel cask crane inspected and stored in the new fuel age racks which are designed for dry storage of 76 fuel assemblies. The arrangement of the s is shown in Figure 9.8-1.
new fuel assemblies with or without the CEAs nested are stored in an environment of air, perature of 55°F to 110°F ambient and a relative humidity of 30 to 100 percent. The base of new fuel storage racks is located at Elevation 38 feet 6 inches. The receiving and removal ration of the new fuel assemblies into or out of the storage cells are accomplished by lateral 28/18 9.8-5 Rev. 36
heir longitudinal axis from a special tool attached to the auxiliary hook of the spent fuel cask e.
new fuel storage racks are fabricated of stainless steel and consisting of vertical cells in llel rows with a center-to-center distance of twenty and one-half inches. The new fuel storage s are designed to the requirements defined below:
- a. Structural The structure consists of vertical elongated cells in rows and is of open construction to permit ventilation. Solid plate partitions are used as shear plates to resist horizontal loads or to transmit shear forces. The storage cells are accessible from the aisles between two rows of storage racks above a platform at Elevation 47 feet 6 inches. Guides, hold downs, and new fuel assembly bracings are provided at suitable horizontal intervals to assist receiving and removal operation as well as securing and maintaining the vertical alignment of the new fuel assembly in place for storage. Vertical guides are continuous for the full length of the fuel assemblies. The bottom plates are raised from the floor level and supported by the base of the new fuel rack. The storage rack and the base are designed to withstand all anticipated loadings, including dropping or side swinging of a fuel assembly on the rack in an accidental event. The structural deformations are limited to preclude any possibility of criticality.
The storage racks are laterally braced one to another and supported in a manner which will not permit a reduction in separation space in the event of a design earthquake. The racks themselves are designed not to collapse or bow under the force of a fuel assembly if dropped or swung against the rack.
- b. Stability The new fuel storage racks are stabilized by floor anchorage only. This system will prevent significant lateral movement of the racks, containing any number of fuel assemblies and subjected to all anticipated loads, including the design basis earthquake (DBE). An insignificant lateral movement is one which will not reduce the center-to-center distance of the cells below the safe geometry margins. The maximum displacement of any member, joint or component of the structure is within the elastic limit of the material.
- c. Safe Geometry Keff for the new fuel storage racks containing adjacent fresh fuel assemblies of 5.0 percent enrichment is less than 0.95 when flooded with clean unborated water, or with low density moderation. The 5 percent enrichment used in the analysis conservatively exceeds the 4.85 percent Technical Specification limit.

prevent possible damage to the fuel element if swung against the rack.
The racks consist of eleven modules for a total of 76 cells as shown on Figure 9.8-1.
With the base of the new fuel storage racks 38.5 feet mean sea level the possibility of new fuel being flooded with sea water is precluded. The new fuel vault is situated in an area over which no large piping is routed. Therefore, the only possible source of water into the vault would be minor leakage of rainwater through the roof or wall of the auxiliary building. The walls of the new fuel vault have been provided with block-outs which would allow any water in-leakage to drain out of the vault. Also, the active part of the new fuel assembly is approximately seven inches above the floor of the vault. In addition, the 20.5 inches center-to-center spacing precludes criticality in the highly unlikely event of flooding. Figure 9.8-2 shows a cross section of the new fuel storage vault.
Figures 9.8-3 through 9.8-6 show details of the new fuel storage racks.
As shown in Figure 9.8-2, the racks are a hybrid between side and top loading racks. This design was based on preventing the placing of two new fuel assemblies adjacent to each other and to minimize the amount of overlap between assemblies during handling in the new fuel vault.
The new fuel rack closure bar is an administratively controlled device which is used to laterally support the top of fuel assembly in the rack (see Figure 9.8-6).
The rack has been designed to take an uplift force equal to the dead weight of the empty rack module.
2.1.2 Spent Fuel Storage spent fuel pool is located in the fuel handling area of the auxiliary building. The pool is gned for the underwater storage of spent fuel assemblies after removal from the reactor core.
heat load analysis of the spent fuel pool conservatively accounts for a total of 1349 fuel mblies. Of these 1349 fuel assemblies, 1343 are intact fuel assemblies, and the other 6 fuel mblies are assumed to have been consolidated into 3 Consolidated Fuel Storage Boxes. As cribed later in this section, there are currently 1346 physical storage locations in the spent fuel
- l. The spent fuel pool is designed to maintain approximately 24 feet of borated water above stored fuel assemblies. CEAs removed from the core are stored in the guide tubes of the fuel mblies.
spent fuel pool (SFP) also stores Non-standard Fuel Configurations (discussed later in this ion). A Non-standard Fuel Configuration is an object containing fuel that does not conform to standard fuel configuration. The standard fuel configuration is a 14 x 14 array of fuel rods (or 28/18 9.8-7 Rev. 36
figuration. Reconstituted fuel in which one or more fuel rods have been replaced by either enriched fuel rods or stainless steel rods is considered to be a standard fuel configuration.
stainless steel storage racks consisting of vertical cells grouped in parallel rows, are designed a center-to-center distance of 9.8 inches in Regions 1 and 2 and 9.0 inches in Regions 3 and 4.
nt fuel decay heat is removed by the spent fuel pool cooling system described in Section 9.5.
fuel storage racks are designed to the requirements defined below while maintaining a sical arrangement that results in a Keff of 0.95 or less during all normal usage of the racks and er abnormal conditions. The arrangement also provides for adequate convective cooling of ed fuel assemblies.
ure 9.8-7 provides a schematic of the spent fuel pool arrangement described below.
- a. Structural Region 1 consists of two 8 by 10 modules of spent fuel racks with a nominal center-to-center cell spacing of 9.8 inches. These racks contain Boraflex which is no longer credited in the spent fuel pool criticality analysis. These modules are used to store 80 fuel assemblies (up to a maximum initial planar average enrichment of 4.85 weight percent U-235) in a 2 out of 4 storage pattern as shown in Figure 9.8-7. In a 2 out of 4 storage pattern two locations in a 2 x 2 storage array (4 spent fuel storage locations) can store a fuel assembly, and the other two locations are designated as Restricted Locations as shown in Figure 9.8-7. Fuel storage rack locations designated as Restricted Locations in Figure 9.8-7 shall remain empty. No fuel assembly, no Non-standard Fuel Configuration, no non-fuel component, nor any hardware/material of any kind may be stored in a Restricted Location.(1) There are 80 Restricted Locations in this region.
Region 2 consists of two 8 by 9 modules and one 8 by 10 module of spent fuel racks with a nominal center-to-center cell spacing of 9.8 inches. These racks contain Boraflex which is no longer credited in the spent fuel pool criticality analysis. These modules are used to store spent fuel bundles that have achieved a specified fuel burnup vs. initial planar average enrichment. Region 2 also has two types of storage locations, designated Type 2A and Type 2B. Type 2A locations can store more reactive fuel assemblies than Type 2B. These modules are used to store 164 fuel assemblies in a 3 out of 4 storage pattern in which the fourth location in a 2 x 2 storage array is a Restricted Location as shown in Figure 9.8-7.
Note that Region 1 and 2 SFP rack storage locations contain removable Boraflex panel boxes ch house the Boraflex panels. The Boraflex panel boxes were manufactured as an integral part original SFP racks and as such are NOT stored components in SFP rack storage locations.
icality analysis has shown that the Restricted Locations are acceptable with or without the aflex panel boxes.
28/18 9.8-8 Rev. 36
Region 3 consists of twelve modules of spent fuel racks with nominal center-to-center cell spacing of 9.0 inches, which do not contain Boraflex. These modules are used to store spent fuel assemblies that have achieved a specified fuel burnup vs. initial planar average enrichment. Region 3 requires that fuel assemblies contain either three Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets (installed in the assembly's center guide tube and in two diagonally opposite guide tubes), or a full length, full strength CEA (Note that credit is NOT allowed for the full-length, reduced-strength CEAs used in Cycles 1 through 6 [CEAs with serial numbers 66 through 73, inclusive] and for the part-length CEAs used in Cycle 1 [CEAs with identifier letters A through H, inclusive]). The region consists of 822 storage locations.
Region 4 consists of one 7 by 9 module and one 7 by 11 module of spent fuel racks with a nominal center-to-center cell spacing of 9.0 inches, which do not contain Boraflex. These modules are used to store spent fuel assemblies that have achieved a specified fuel burnup vs. initial planar average enrichment. These modules are used to store 100 fuel assemblies in a 3 out of 4 storage pattern with 40 Restricted Locations.
No structural changes to the storage rack modules were required as they were initially designed to withstand the static and dynamic loads resulting from the storage of both intact fuel assemblies and consolidated fuel in Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4.
The physical arrangement of the storage locations within the racks and the total number of racks provide for a total of 1346 storage locations. Of this number:
- 80 locations are available within Region 1 for the storage of any fuel assembly, with 80 cells designated as Restricted Locations
- 164 locations are available within Region 2 for the storage of fuel assemblies that meet the burnup requirements of this region, with 60 cells designated as Restricted Locations
- all 822 locations are available within Region 3 for the storage of fuel assemblies that meet the burnup requirements of this region (and contain Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets or a CEA)
- 100 locations are available within Region 4 for the storage of fuel assemblies that meet the burnup requirements of this region, with 40 cells designated as Restricted Locations.
With these storage restrictions, the maximum number of rack locations usable for fuel assembly storage become:
28/18 9.8-9 Rev. 36
80 Region 1 - Restricted Locations 164 Region 2 - Storage Locations 60 Region 2 - Restricted Locations 822 Region 3 - Storage Locations 100 Region 4 - Storage Locations 40 Region 4 - Restricted Locations 1346 Total Region 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 rack storage locations (including Restricted Locations)
Note that each Non-standard Fuel Configuration must have a separate criticality analysis which may allow storage in one or multiple Regions, and which may or may not require insertion of Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets or a full length, full strength CEA if stored in Region 3. A list of Non-standard Fuel Configurations that have been qualified for storage in any non-restricted pool location is included later in this section.
Fuel assemblies and Non-standard Fuel Configurations shall NOT be stored in Region 1 and 2 storage locations in which the Boraflex panel box has been removed. It is permissible to store non-fuel components in non-restricted locations whether or not the location contains a Boraflex panel box.
It should be noted, however, that both the spent fuel racks and the pool/building structure have been analyzed and qualified for the conditions and maximum loadings associated with consolidated fuel stored in each of the 1346 storage locations.
The spent fuel racks in all four regions are fabricated from 304 stainless steel which is 0.135 inches thick. Each cell is formed by welding along the intersecting seams. This enables each spent fuel rack module to become a free-standing module that meets the seismic design requirements without mechanical dependence on neighboring modules or fuel pool walls for support. The rack modules are classified ANS Safety Class III and Seismic Category I.
The mechanical design of the individual storage modules provides a flow path for convective cooling of the spent fuel assemblies and consolidated fuel storage boxes through natural circulation. Safety analyses of the thermal conditions within the spent fuel pool have been performed to assure that even with the most severe 28/18 9.8-10 Rev. 36
- b. Stability The spent fuel racks have been designed for direct bearing onto the spent fuel pool floor. An adjustable pad (Figure 9.8-8D) is provided under each corner of the fuel rack. Fuel rack module leveling is accomplished by adjusting each pad height to conform to the pool floor. Each foot can be raised or lowered one-quarter inch and can rotate two to three degrees to accommodate pool floor variations during installation.
The spent fuel storage racks are designed to withstand forces generated during normal operation, an operating basis earthquake (OBE), or a safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) with the loads associated with consolidated fuel. Lateral and vertical seismic loads along with fluid forces are considered to be acting simultaneously on the fuel racks. The racks are designed to assure rack structural integrity while at the same time keeping the fuel in a subcritical state.
The seismic analysis of the spent fuel rack includes an assessment of the maximum sliding and tipping that can be expected. The racks are installed with a nominal gap of two inches between modules and the pool walls. The analysis has shown that the maximum motion of the racks, including tipping, sliding, and thermal expansion is less than the gap between adjacent modules.
Materials for all components of the rack support system are made of stainless steel with high temperature and corrosion resistance. The design and fabrication of the system is in accordance with the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Codes where applicable.
- c. Safe Geometry Analyses have been performed to ensure that the multiplication factor, Keff of the storage racks including all uncertainties, is less than 0.95, with a 95% probability at the 95% confidence limit, under all normal conditions with water borated to a minimum of 550 ppm, and all accident conditions with water borated to a minimum of 2100 ppm. Analyses have also been performed to ensure that the Keff of the storage racks, including all biases and uncertainties, is less than 1.00, on a 95% probability at the 95% confidence limit, under all normal conditions with unborated water. These analyses cover all four (4) regions of the spent fuel pool, which are designated Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4. These analyses also address other equipment in the spent fuel pool which may hold fuel assemblies on a temporary basis, such as the new fuel elevator and the fuel transfer machine. Non-standard Fuel Configurations are also addressed by these analyses. A normal spent fuel pool water temperature range from 32°F to 150°F, and an accident condition temperature range from 150°F to boiling are bounded by these analyses.
28/18 9.8-11 Rev. 36
Region 1 fuel storage racks do not credit fuel burnup and require fuel assembly storage in a 2 out of 4 storage pattern. Region 2 and Region 4 fuel storage racks credit fuel burnup and require storage in a 3 out of 4 storage pattern. Figure 9.8-7 shows the spent fuel rack storage patterns, including the designated Restricted Locations, for each region.
The criticality analysis for Region 1 assumes an infinite array of storage locations exist, and that 2 out of 4 storage locations are filled with fuel assemblies that have an initial planar average enrichment of 4.85 weight percent U-235. The criticality analysis for Regions 2 and 4 assumes that an infinite array of storage locations exist, and 3 out of 4 storage locations are filled with the maximum reactivity fuel assemblies allowed by the Technical Specifications. The moderator for each region is assumed to be water borated to 0 ppm for the Keff< 1.0 case, and to a minimum level of 550 ppm for the Keff < 0.95 case.
The Region 1 and 2 fuel storage racks contain Boraflex which is no longer credited as a neutron absorber.
For Regions 1, 2, and 4 the reactivity effects associated with the following manufacturing material and dimensional tolerances are accounted for: storage rack dimensional tolerances, and fuel dimensional and enrichment tolerances. Also accounted for are eccentric loading of fuel in the storage locations and calculational bias/uncertainties in the methods used to calculate Keff. In addition the Regions 2 and 4 analyses account for the reactivity effects associated with axial fuel burnup variations, uncertainty in fuel isotopics, and uncertainty in the declared burnup, clad creep, fuel rod growth, and migration of volatile fission products.
- 2. Region 3 - Storage of Fuel Assemblies Region 3 fuel storage racks do not contain a neutron poison. Fuel may be stored in all locations of Region 3, subject to meeting the fuel burnup restrictions specified by the Technical Specifications, and containing Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets or a full length, full strength CEA (note that the criticality analysis for a given Non-standard Fuel Configuration may qualify it for Region 3 storage without these inserts). Fuel assemblies which have achieved the burnup required by the Technical Specifications and contain Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets or a full length, full strength CEA may be stored in Region 3. The insertion of Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets and full length, full strength CEAs are credited in Region 3. The use of Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets or CEAs reduces the required fuel burnup needed for fuel storage in Region 3. When Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets are installed and credited, three poison rodlets must be placed inside the fuel assembly guide tubes. The three Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets must be located in the center fuel assembly guide 28/18 9.8-12 Rev. 36
full length, full strength CEA, as well as qualified Non-standard Fuel Configurations, may be mixed in any manner in the Region 3 storage racks.
The criticality analysis for Region 3 assumes that an infinite array of storage locations exist, all filled with the maximum reactivity fuel assemblies allowed by the Technical Specifications. The moderator is assumed to be 550 ppm borated water at the water temperature which causes the maximum Keff. In Region 3, a positive moderator temperature coefficient exists, therefore, higher water temperatures give larger values of Keff. A water temperature of 150°F is the largest normal spent fuel pool temperature. Spent fuel pool temperatures greater than 150°F are evaluated as accident conditions.
For Region 3 the reactivity effects associated with the following manufacturing material and dimensional tolerances are accounted for: storage rack dimensional tolerances, Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlet diameter and boron loading tolerances, and fuel dimensional and enrichment tolerances. Also accounted for are eccentric loading of fuel in the storage locations, calculation bias/uncertainties in the methods used to calculate Keff, the reactivity effects associated with axial fuel burnup variations, uncertainty in fuel isotopics, uncertainty in the declared burnup, clad creep, fuel rod growth, and migration of volatile fission products.
- 3. All Regions - Non-standard Fuel Configurations Each region of the SFP may store Non-standard Fuel Configurations, except for the Restricted Locations and locations in which the Boraflex panel box is removed.
However, each Non-standard Fuel Configuration must have a separate criticality analysis which may allow storage in one or multiple Regions, and which may or may not require Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets or a full length, full strength CEA if stored in Region 3.
The following list contains Non-standard Fuel Configurations which have been analyzed for SFP storage. They may be stored in all regions (except Restricted Locations and locations in which the Boraflex panel box has been removed). The list also indicates whether or not the Non-standard Fuel Configuration requires insertion of Borated Stainless Steel Poison Rodlets or a CEA if stored in Region 3.
The analysis for each Non-standard Fuel Configuration concluded that the multiplication factor, Keff of the storage racks including all uncertainties, is < 0.95 at a 95% probability and 95% confidence level.

- 4. Other Equipment Which May Store Fuel on a Temporary Basis There are two pieces of equipment in the spent fuel pool, other than the storage racks, which could store fuel on a temporary basis. They are: the new fuel elevator and the fuel transfer machine.
The new fuel elevator has been analyzed to be capable of storing a fresh 4.85 weight percent U-235 fuel assembly, and maintaining the Keff of the storage racks including all uncertainties, to less than 0.95, with a 95% probability at the 95%
confidence limit.
28/18 9.8-14 Rev. 36
percent U-235 fuel assemblies, and maintaining Keff of the transfer machine configuration including all uncertainties, to less than 0.95, with a 95% probability at the 95% confidence limit.
- 5. Accident Conditions Analyses have been performed to ensure that the multiplication factor, Keff of the storage racks including all uncertainties, is less than 0.95, with a 95% probability at the 95% confidence limit, under all normal conditions with credit for 550 ppm borated water, and all accident conditions with credit for a total of 2100 ppm boron in the water.
The following conditions were considered in these analyses (Note that the following scenarios assume fuel contains zero gadolinia loading):
- Multiple misloads of 4.85 weight percent U-235 fresh fuel assemblies into Region 1 and 2 storage locations.
- Multiple misloads of higher than typical reactivity depleted fuel assemblies (initial enrichment of 4.20 weight percent U-235 and 10 GWD/MTU burnup) into Region 3 and 4 storage locations.
- Mislead or dropping of a single 4.85 weight percent U-235 fresh fuel assembly into a Region 4 storage location.
- Dropping or misplacing a 4.85 weight percent U-235 fresh fuel assembly between Region 3 and the new fuel elevator, with a 4.85 weight percent U-235 fresh fuel assembly in the new fuel elevator.
- Three 4.85 weight percent U-235 fresh fuel assemblies are allowed to touch edge to edge. This bounds a scenario in which two fresh fuel assemblies are in the fuel transfer cart and another fresh fuel assembly, by some undefined means, is allowed to come edge to edge with the fuel assembly in the transfer cart.
- Loss of pool cooling resulting in SFP temperature increase and voiding.
- Dropping of a fuel assembly or Non-standard Fuel Configuration which comes to rest on top of the racks in a horizontal position.
- Lateral rack movement due to a seismic event affecting the spacing between racks of any of the Regions.
28/18 9.8-15 Rev. 36
10 GWD/MTU burnup) into Region 3 and 4 storage locations. The analysis shows that a 2100 ppm boron concentration ensures that Keff remains < 0.95, including all uncertainties and biases.
The spent fuel shipping cask is placed in the spent fuel pool cask laydown area for loading. The spent fuel cask is designed such that spent fuel assemblies can be placed into the cask while maintaining adequate water coverage above the fuel assembly. After loading with fuel assemblies, the cask cover is fastened to the cask and the cask is transferred to the cask wash area by the spent fuel cask crane.
Interlocks are provided on the cask crane to prevent handling of the shipping cask above the storage racks and stored fuel. The cask cover is fastened in place before the cask is moved from the pool to prevent the fuel assemblies from falling out in the unlikely event of a dropped cask accident. Also it prevents the cask cover from becoming a missile in the event of a dropped cask accident. While the cask is en route to the decontamination pit at elevation (+) 38 feet six inches, plastic or other means are provided to catch any contaminated water dripping off the cask. The cask is washed down with demineralized water which is drained to the radioactive processing system. Checks are made to ensure that surface contamination meets transportation regulatory requirements.
Temperature monitoring and alarm instrumentation as described in Section 9.5 are provided in the fuel pool to assure that the decay heat from the spent fuel elements is being removed. A local monitor is used to assure that proper radiation levels are maintained. Means are provided to control entry of personnel and to account for the flow of tools in and out of the area.
Figure 9.8-9 shows the physical arrangement of the ten leak collection zones of the spent fuel pool liner. Figure 9.5-1 of the FSAR shows, schematically, the leak detection equipment.
Leakage from any portion of the spent fuel pool liner would collect in one of the ten zone collector channels and would drain out of the channel into a common header. Once in the header the leakage would accumulate upstream of closed valve 2-RW-175. This accumulation would trip level switch LS-7321 which would, in turn, annunciate the appropriate alarm on the main control board.
The liner plate was manufactured under quality assurance requirements and was tested for leak tightness prior to plant operation. Therefore, no leakage is expected under normal conditions.
The spent fuel cask crane, which includes a monorail hoist, and spent fuel pool platform crane are capable of passing over the spent fuel pool. Since both are designed and analyzed for seismic Category l requirements, their failure and 28/18 9.8-16 Rev. 36
The spent fuel cask crane handles the following items in the area of the spent fuel pool:
- a. The spent fuel cask.
- b. The spent fuel pool bulkhead gates.
- c. The new fuel assemblies.
The spent fuel cask crane (SFCC), which includes the main hoist (125 tons) and auxiliary hoist (15 tons), has been designed to meet the single failure proof requirements in accordance with NUREG-0612 and NUREG-0554. The design features will ensure that a single failure will not result in the loss of the capability of the system to safely retain the load. Load drop events are not credible for loads lifted by the SFCC when handled and rigged in accordance with the single failure criteria.
The spent fuel pool bulkhead gates are essentially 26 foot long by three foot six inches wide by one inch thick flat plates weighing approximately 5100 pounds each. The gates are normally stored on the west wall of the spent fuel storage area just south of the transfer slot and on the east wall just south of the cask laydown area transfer slot. If for some reason either transfer canal or the cask laydown area must be drained, the spent fuel cask crane moves the gate from its storage location to the transfer slot. Movement of the gates will be performed under administrative controls to ensure compliance with the heavy loads guidelines of NUREG-0612 through use of a single failure proof lifting system or through the use of controlled safe load paths and therefore fuel damage from a spent fuel pool bulkhead gate drop is not a credible event.
New fuel assemblies are transferred to the spent fuel pool by using a short fuel handling tool attached to the auxiliary hook of the spent fuel cask crane and transferring the new fuel assembly into the new fuel elevator located in the spent fuel pool. The new fuel assembly is handled and rigged in accordance with the single failure proof criteria of NUREG-0612. Therefore, a new fuel assembly load drop is not a credible event.
The spent fuel pool platform crane manipulates the fuel under water by means of long tools attached to the hoist. Since there is some operator handling in attaching or detaching the tools, it is conceivable that a tool could be dropped. The tools are approximately 32 feet long by three inches in diameter, weighing approximately 270 pounds. The pool water would offer practically no resistance to this shape, but the weight and drop height are small enough that no damage would be caused to rack or the fuel stored inside even if the dropped tool hit directly on a fuel 28/18 9.8-17 Rev. 36
dropping of the fuel assembly with no appreciable damage.
The rack has been designed and analyzed to take an uplift force equal to 6000 pounds. The normal capacity of the spent fuel pool platform crane is 2000 pounds, which is less than the analyzed weight so that it is unlikely that the hoist would cause any damage if it were caught on the rack and the cranes overload device failed to operate.
- 6. Spent Fuel Pool Dilution Criticality analysis has shown that 600 ppm of soluble boron is sufficient under normal conditions in the SFP, to assure not to exceed the 0.95 keff design basis (including biases and uncertainties). The actual analysis shows that 550 ppm of soluble boron is sufficient to meet this keff requirement. The criticality analysis has also shown that 0 ppm of soluble boron, under normal conditions in the SFP, assures keff is maintained less than 1.00 (including biases and uncertainties). An engineering analysis of potential scenarios which could dilute the boron concentration in the SFP demonstrates that sufficient time is available to detect and mitigate a boron dilution prior to reaching 600 ppm, thus not exceeding the 0.95 keff design basis (including biases and uncertainties). It should be noted that the criticality analysis credits 2100 ppm of soluble boron in the SFP for certain accident conditions. However, a boron dilution event does not need to be considered for these conditions. This is because the simultaneous occurrence of two unlikely and independent events such as a boron dilution event and another independent accident condition is not required to be considered.
The systems which could dilute the spent fuel pool, either by direct connection to the spent fuel pool, or by a potential pipe crack/break have been analyzed. There is no automatic spent fuel pool level control system in the spent fuel pool, so that any dilution to the spent fuel pool will add water to the spent fuel pool. Therefore the addition of unborated water to the SFP will lead to increased SFP water level, and if not controlled, an overflow of the SFP.
The ability to prevent the SFP soluble boron concentration from being diluted from less than the TS minimum value of 2100 ppm (analysis was performed at 1720 ppm) to a value of 600 ppm has been demonstrated by showing that each potential dilution source meets one of the following two criteria:
- The dilution source does not have a sufficient volume of unborated water to be capable of diluting the SFP soluble boron concentration from 1720 ppm (less than the 2100 ppm TS requirement) to 600 ppm.
- The dilution source flowrate of unborated water is 200 gpm. At a dilution flowrate of 200 gpm of unborated water, at least 19 hours2.199074e-4 days <br />0.00528 hours <br />3.141534e-5 weeks <br />7.2295e-6 months <br /> will be needed 28/18 9.8-18 Rev. 36
the water added to the SFP will eventually cause a SFP high water level alarm in the control room alarm, or be detected by the Plant Equipment Operator (PEO) detecting high SFP water levels or SFP overflow. A time of 19 hours2.199074e-4 days <br />0.00528 hours <br />3.141534e-5 weeks <br />7.2295e-6 months <br /> is ample time to detect and terminate the dilution event.
- 7. Spent Fuel Storage in an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)
With the installation of the Millstone ISFSI, dry storage of Unit 2 spent fuel on the Millstone ISFSI provides an available fuel storage option. Millstone has selected the NUHOMS spent fuel storage system under Transnuclear Corporations general license as authorized per 10 CFR 72 and approved by the NRC in Certificate of Compliance Number1004 for an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation.
The ISFSI is designed to accommodate on site spent fuel storage through the end of plant life including 20 year license renewal, or until transfer of the spent fuel to a DOE repository. The spent fuel storage canisters are dual purpose, designed for storage in an ISFSI per 10 CFR 72 requirements and transport off site in a spent fuel shipping cask per 10 CFR 71 requirements.
The NUHOMS system consists of reinforced concrete horizontal storage modules (HSMs) and steel dry shielded canisters (DSCs) assembled on a concrete pad within the site protected area boundary. System operation is totally passive crediting natural air circulation for cooling.
Spent fuel is selected based on the Unit 2 spent fuel strategy and the NUHOMS Technical Specification requirements for fuel qualification. The DSC consists of a shell and basket assembly, which can accommodate 32 fuel assemblies. The DSC is inserted into a transfer cask and placed in the cask laydown area of the Unit 2 spent fuel pool for fuel loading. Once loaded, the transfer cask/DSC is relocated to the cask wash pit for draining, drying, closure operations and decontamination.
The transfer cask is utilized to transfer the loaded DSC to the ISFSI pad for loading into an HSM. The HSM array consists of precast concrete components forming a series of concrete storage modules for dry shielded canisters storing spent fuel.
2.1.3 Fuel Transfer Tube and Isolation Valve uel transfer tube extending through the containment wall connects the refueling pool with the nt fuel pool as shown in Figure 9.8-10. During reactor operation, the transfer tube is closed by ns of a manually operated isolation valve located on the spent fuel pool side of the transfer and a blind flange located inside the containment. Section 9.8.3.2, "Standard System rations" describes preparation of the fuel transfer tube for refueling operations.
28/18 9.8-19 Rev. 36
transfer tube isolation valve is bolted to the spent fuel pool end of transfer tube. The valve is ported in such a manner to allow for horizontal movement along the centerline of the transfer
. The manual operator for the valve is designed to allow for movement of the valve due to mal expansions and still permit operation. The valve stem extends above the operating pool er level at elevation (+) 36 feet 6 inches and designed for manipulation from the operating k at elevation (+) 38 feet 6 inches. The valve is furnished with a spur gear operator and ition indicator.
2.1.4 Spent Fuel Pool Platform Crane spent fuel pool platform crane consists of a bridge which spans the width of the spent fuel l and a trolley mounted hoist that traverses the length of the bridge. The crane is located above spent fuel pool and rides on rails set in the concrete on the north and south sides of the pool.
ctric motors position the bridge and trolley over the specified rack location, new fuel elevator, sfer carriage upender, and spent fuel shipping cask.
spent fuel pool platform crane transfers:
- 1. spent fuel assemblies from the upender to the spent fuel storage rack,
- 2. new fuel assemblies from the new fuel elevator to the upender normally via temporary positions in the spent fuel storage racks,
- 3. spent fuel assemblies from the spent fuel storage racks to the spent fuel shipping cask,
- 4. damaged or leaking fuel assemblies into a special container which, in turn, is placed into a special damaged fuel shipping cask,
- 5. spent fuel assemblies to and from the new fuel elevator for inspection In addition, the spent fuel pool platform crane may be used for retrieving dropped items from the spent fuel pool or to place in and retrieve from the pool various items that may be stored in the spent fuel pool for radioactive decay.

2.2 Components 2.2.1 New Fuel Storage Racks new fuel storage racks are a welded construction of stainless steel to provide dry, vertical age for 76 assemblies. The new fuel assemblies are placed into the rack through the top of the 28/18 9.8-20 Rev. 36
2.2.2 Design and Fabrication of Spent Fuel Racks modules of Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are designed and licensed to store fuel with a maximum al planar average enrichment of 4.85 weight percent U235 depending on the fuel history and specific requirements of the respective Region of the spent fuel pool where the fuel is to be ed.
spent fuel storage racks are fabricated with 304 stainless steel having a maximum carbon tent of 0.065 percent, with a 304 stainless steel module wall thickness of 0.135 inches. The s are monolithic honeycomb structures with square fuel storage locations as shown in ure 9.8-8A. Each storage location is formed by welding stainless steel sections along the rsecting seams, permitting the assembled cavities to become the load bearing structure, as l as framing the storage cell enclosures. Each module is free standing and seismically qualified hout mechanical dependence on neighboring modules or pool walls. This feature allows ote installation (or removal if required for pool maintenance). Reinforcing plates at the upper ners provide the required strength for handling. The racks are designed to withstand the pping of a fuel assembly or a consolidated storage box onto the top of the racks with no loss of gn function. Figure 9.8-7 shows the arrangement of Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4 modules in the lstone Unit Number 2 pool, including the Restricted Locations.
nless steel bars, which are inserted horizontally through the rectangular slots in the lower on of the module, support the fuel assemblies. The support bars are welded in place and port an entire row of fuel assemblies. The module is supported by adjustable pads to facilitate ling at installation.

3 SYSTEM OPERATION 3.1 New Fuel Transfer w fuel assemblies are removed from their regulatory agency approved shipping containers ected and placed in the new fuel storage racks or in the new fuel elevator. This is omplished by using a short fuel handling tool attached to the auxiliary hook of the spent fuel k crane. New CEAs are inserted into the guide channels of the fuel assemblies while the new is in the new fuel elevator.
r to the start of reactor refueling operations the new fuel is removed from the new fuel storage s and transferred to the new fuel elevator. This operation is accomplished by the auxiliary k of the spent fuel cask crane and the short fuel handling tool.
new fuel elevator lowers the fuel assembly down into the spent fuel pool where the spent fuel l platform crane transfers the fuel assembly normally to a spent fuel rack, or, directly to the nt fuel pool side upending mechanism. Interlocks are provided to prevent the spent fuel pool form crane from lowering the fuel assembly unless the upender is in the vertical position.
rlocks are also provided to prevent raising or lowering the upender if the spent fuel platform e is in the upender zone with the hoist below the hoist-clear elevation. The spent fuel platform e attaches to the fuel assemblies by means of a long fuel handling tool. After the spent fuel form crane has placed a new fuel assembly in the upending mechanism, it removes a spent assembly from the other position of the upending mechanism and transfers the spent fuel to a gnated position in the spent fuel storage racks.
3.2 Standard System Operations ueling operations are initiated with the removal of the missile shield from over the reactor. The DMs are disengaged from their drive shaft extensions by de-energizing the electromagnets, both CEDM and ICI cabling are disconnected in preparation for head removal. The stud ioners are employed to remove the vessel head studs which are then removed and stored.
gs are installed to protect the empty stud holes and two alignment pins are placed to assist in sequent operations. The CEDM coolant shroud is disconnected from its duct work and the sel vent line removed. The hatches in the reactor vessel cavity seal are closed to prevent water m entering the lower portion of the vessel cavity. A lifting frame is then installed on the head 28/18 9.8-31 Rev. 36
uel transfer tube extending through the containment wall connects the refueling pool with the nt fuel pool as shown in Figure 9.8-10. During reactor operations, this transfer tube is isolated
- 1) a manually operated isolation valve that is outside containment and within the fuel transfer al and (2) a blind flange located inside containment.
ing preparations for filling the refueling pool for refueling operations, the blind flange on the transfer tube is removed.
owing verification that the water inventories of the spent fuel pool, fuel transfer canal and eling pool are at a common elevation, the isolation valve of the fuel transfer tube is opened.
ng the refueling machine walkway as a work platform, the CEDM drive shaft extensions are onnected from their CEAs by means of tools hung from the polar crane and the refuel hine. The UGS lift rig is installed and the ICI plate is withdrawn into the UGS and locked in e.
vision is made in the refueling pool for the temporary storage of the UGS of the reactor vessel rnals.
3.3 Refueling Operations normal fuel management sequence is initiated by positioning the refueling machine hoist ve the desired fuel assembly in the core. The operators lower the hoist until it stops at the PER GRAPPLE OPERATING ZONE (UGOZ), the indicator illuminates and the operator rgizes the grapple mechanism which rotates to OPEN the grapple. When the SPREADER is y extended, the hoist is lowered until it stops at the LOWER GRAPPLE OPERATING ZONE OZ), the indicator illuminates and the operator energizes the grapple mechanism to close the pple onto the fuel assembly. The hoist motor is started and the fuel assembly is withdrawn into hoist box which protects the fuel assembly during the traverse to the upender. The hoist is ed until the HOIST UP LIMIT is reached, then the hoist will automatically stop. The grapple been designed to preclude inadvertent disengagement as the fuel assembly is lifted vertically m the core. Grapple operation is interlocked both mechanically and electrically to permit pple actuation only in two operating zones UGOZ and LGOZ. Due to the mechanical rlocks, the grapple must be closed while it is being raised or lowered within the hoist box.
er removal from the core, the spent fuel assembly is lowered into one of the two fuel carrier kets located in the refueling pool upender. The refueling machine ungrapples the spent fuel mbly, raises the hoist and returns to the reactor core to move the next fuel assembly in ordance with the fuel management procedure. Under certain fuel management procedures, the eling operator then repeats the process and removes another spent fuel assembly and traverses he refueling pool upender and the second spent fuel assembly is lowered into the second of the fuel carrier pockets.
28/18 9.8-32 Rev. 36
pool upender, the upending mechanism raises the fuel carrier to the vertical position. The nt fuel pool platform crane removes the spent fuel assemblies and places them into determined spent fuel rack locations. The fuel carrier is lowered to the horizontal position and rned to the refueling pool for one or two more spent fuel assemblies or the spent fuel platform e operator grapples a new fuel assembly and traverses to the spent fuel pool upender in ordance with the fuel management procedure.
en the fuel carrier returns to the refueling pool upender, the fuel carrier is raised to vertical and refueling machine operator either removes the new fuel assembly from the fuel carrier and sfers it to the core or places another spent fuel assembly into the fuel carrier. This sequence is ated until the refueling sequence is completed.
transferring CEAs among fuel assemblies in the refueling pool, a CEA handling tool attached he auxiliary hoist of the refueling machine is used. For transferring CEAs among fuel mblies in the spent fuel storage racks within the spent fuel pool, a CEA handling tool attached he spent fuel pool platform crane is used (refer to Section 9.8.2.1.4).
tron sources are transferred between fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool via a tool ipulated from the spent fuel platform crane. Capsules containing surveillance samples are oved from the reactor vessel assembly utilizing a tool manipulated from the refueling machine ch then transports them to the upender station for insertion into a container similar to a my fuel assembly. The transfer carrier transports the container with the surveillance capsules pent fuel storage area for eventual disassembly and sample evaluation.
mast sipping of fuel assemblies can be conducted, if required, during normal fuel handling rations. A removable control console is installed on the refueling machine with connections to tubing within the refuel mast. The in mast sipping takes a water sample from around each fuel mbly as it is lifted from the core into the mast. The water soluble and/or gaseous fission ducts escaping from a failed fuel rod during this handling process are drawn from the mast on of the fuel assembly handling machine through tubing, degassed continuously, and the gas irected to a detector. The detector measures the fission products and determines the isotopes ent. A determination of fuel integrity can be made based upon the concentrations and types of opes present. The sample stream is then directed back to the refuel cavity and released below water surface.
3.4 Refueling Restoration he completion of the refueling operation, the transfer valve is manually closed. The UGS is serted in the vessel and the ICI plate placed in position. The drive shaft extensions are nnected to the CEAs. The water in the refueling pool is lowered, utilizing one of the low-sure safety injection (LPSI) pumps or one of the purification pumps. The head is then lowered l the drive shaft extensions are engaged by the CEDMs. Lowering of the head is continued l it is seated. Then the head is bolted down, and the transfer tube blind flange installed. The hes in the cavity seal between the reactor vessel flange and the pool are opened to permit 28/18 9.8-33 Rev. 36

In addition the structural design prevents deformation of the racks that uces the center-to-center spacing to a point where the spent fuel would become critical due to a E or a dropped fuel assembly (horizontal) on top of the storage racks. The structure provides adequate convective cooling of stored fuel assemblies.
4.1.3 iability of the fuel handling equipment including the bridge and trolley, the lifting hanisms, the upending machines, the transfer carriage, and the associated instrumentation and trols has been assured through implementation of pre-operational tests and routines. Prior to first actual fuel loading, the equipment was cycled through its operations using dummy fuel.
ddition, the following special features of the equipment assure safe and reliable operation:
4.1.4 vision for seismic loading is made by proper sizing and arrangement of the structure and ponents of the equipment. Where required, mechanical means (clips, guide tools, etc.) are zed to prevent overturning or derailing of the equipment during an earthquake.
4.1.5 umper ring mounted on the refueling machine mast interrupts the bridge and trolley drives uld the mast be driven into an obstruction. This feature prevents damage to either the refueling hine or to members or components into which it may be driven.
28/18 9.8-34 Rev. 36
three major subsystems of the overall fuel handling complex (Refueling Machine, Spent Fuel l Platform Crane and Fuel Transfer System) are electrically interlocked within each other and jointly with each other to prevent incorrect and potentially damaging sequences of operation.
se interlocks accomplish the following:
- a. Bridge, trolley and hoist speeds are restricted in areas where fuel assemblies are handled near potential interferences.
- b. Hoist drives cannot be operated if either the bridge or trolley drives are operating.
- c. Up motion of the hoist is stopped if the hoist is at the up limit or if the hoist is overloaded.
- d. Hoist down motion is stopped if the hoist load is below a preset limit or if the cable is slack.
- e. The refueling machine bridge and trolley drives may not be actuated when the spreader device is extended.
- f. The refueling machine bridge and trolley are inoperative if the fuel hoist is in or below the Upper Grapple Operate Zone (UGOZ), or during interlock override at creep speed only.
- g. The refueling machine hoist cannot be raised if the grapple is above the Upper Grapple Operating Zone (UGOZ) and is not closed.
- h. The refueling machine hoist is latched automatically when the machine is in the upender zone and unlatched automatically when it is outside the upender zone.
- i. The refueling machine fuel spreader cannot be extended when the machine is in the upender zone.
- j. The refueling machine hoist cannot lower if in the upender zone and the upender is not vertical.
- k. The upender cannot raise or lower if the refueling machine is in the upender zone and the hoist is not in the full up position.
- l. The spent fuel pool platform bridge cannot traverse into the upender zone if the upender is not vertical, unless the hoist is full up (loaded) or above the hoist clear elevation (unloaded).
- m. The spent fuel pool platform hoist cannot lower if in the upender zone and the upender is not vertical.
28/18 9.8-35 Rev. 36
(unloaded).
- o. The fuel transfer carrier cannot begin a transfer unless both upenders are horizontal. Once started, the carrier travel will be stopped if the cable tension exceeds a preset limit.
4.1.7 refueling machine is equipped with various mechanical interlocks to provide for safe and per operation. They include, positive mechanical locking of the refueling machine grapple to fuel bundle, and a positive mechanical stop to prevent raising a fuel bundle above the imum depth of water.
4.1.8 cellaneous special design features include backup hand operation of hoist and traverse es in the event of power failure; an available 4 to 1 gear reduction at the winch motor to mit applying an increased pull on the transfer carrier in the event it becomes stuck; a viewing in the refueling machine trolley deck to provide visual access to the reactor for the operator; tronic and visual indication of the refueling machine position over the core; a protective ud into which the fuel bundle is drawn by the refueling machine; transfer system upenders ual operation by a special tool in the event that the hydraulic system becomes inoperative; oval of the transfer system components from the refueling pool for servicing without draining water from the pool.
4.1.9 manual operator for the fuel transfer tube isolation valve extends from the valve to the deck at ation +38 feet 6 inches. Also, the operator has enough flexibility to allow for operation of the e due to thermal expansion of the fuel transfer tube.
4.1.10 spent fuel pool platform crane is provided with encoders that monitor the bridge, trolley and t positions and a programmable logic controller that establishes appropriate boundaries to re that fuel assemblies do not contact any of the walls or other equipment in the spent fuel l area. The hoist is also provided with a geared limit switch that assures the minimum water essary for shielding and an anti-two block switch that protects the hoist from damage if the red limit switch fails. The fuel is also protected from damage by a load cell that interrupts hoist vement in the event of overload or underload conditions while raising or lowering. Interlocks ween the platform crane and fuel transfer system prevent lowering a fuel assembly into the fuel ier unless the upender is vertical and prevent the platform crane from entering the upender e unless the hoist is at an elevation that avoids interference with the upender.
28/18 9.8-36 Rev. 36
4.1.11 single failure proof design of the spent fuel cask crane utilizes limit switches to actuate cial features that sense over travel (control and power), overweight (loads), overspeed (trolley hoists), mis-spooling (wire rope on drum) and unbalanced reeving (wire rope). The electrical gn addresses the effects of phase reversal or phase loss in the hoist power supply as well as ervoltage, overvoltage and overcurrent protection. Detection of any of the above faults oves power from the hoists, placing them in a safe condition. Bridge and trolley motions are ted by travel limit switches, which de-energize the motor at end travels.
spent fuel cask crane travels within the Auxiliary/Warehouse buildings but has features that restrict its path in certain areas. The cask crane has a position switch for NORMAL / CASK NDLING / NEW FUEL modes. When in the NORMAL mode, the crane cannot travel over fuel pool. When the switch is positioned in the CASK HANDLING position, the crane can y travel into the cask pit area of the fuel pool. When the switch is positioned in the NEW EL mode, the crane can only travel into the new fuel area of the fuel pool. This switch is a key switch and will be controlled administratively.
h the main and auxiliary hoists have redundant brakes to allow portions of the hoist drive train e repaired while retaining the load. The hydraulic brakes on the main hoist can be manually dulated to lower a load in the event of a hoisting equipment failure. The auxiliary hoist holding kes are provided with manual override levers to permit manual load lowering.
main and auxiliary hoisting systems also have various modes of operation. The main hoist lift de selector switch is a two position switch that can be selected to critical or non-critical main t operation. In the critical (CRIT) position, the main hoist ultra lift feature is disabled and the rspeed system is set to trip at 110% of critical speed. The lifting speed is limited to 5 feet per ute (fpm). In the non-critical (NON) position, the main hoist ultra lift feature is enabled and overspeed system is set to trip at 110% of non-critical speed. The lifting speed is limited to 7.5
. The auxiliary hoist lift mode selector switch is a two position switch that can be selected to cal or non-critical auxiliary hoist operation. In the critical (CRIT) position, the auxiliary hoist a lift feature is disabled and the overspeed system is set to trip at 110% of critical speed. The ng speed is limited to 20 feet per minute. In the non-critical (NON) position, the auxiliary t ultra lift feature is enabled and the overspeed system is set to trip at 110% of noncritical ed. The lifting speed is limited to 31 feet per minute.
cask crane is equipped with laser distance measuring devices for the bridge and trolley. These ices are retro-reflective and utilize a target for accuracy. The target for the trolley system is ched to the trolley structure, while the bridge target is attached to the building wall. Each em measures the time for the laser light to return to the unit and communicates the calculated ance from the southeast corner of the building to the throat of the main hoist hook, then sends number to the attached scoreboard display mounted on the bridge. The display reads in feet inches continuously while power is applied to the crane. This feature enhances the manual 28/18 9.8-37 Rev. 36
cask crane is designed to retain control of the main hoist 125 ton maximum critical load CL) and auxiliary hoist 15 ton MCL for all load combinations including a single broken rope, blocking, load hang up and OBE & SSE seismic events.
seismic and structural analysis of the cask crane determined that there is no trolley or bridge ft for any of the applied loading combinations. The bridge and trolley are provided with mic restraints to trap it between the bridge girders and runway beams in the event of a wheel ge or rail failure.
lysis determined that the bridge will remain on the runway and the trolley will remain on the ge with the brakes applied during an OBE and SSE event. The cask crane is designed to ain in place and hold the load during an OBE and SSE event.
4.2 Test and Inspections ipment listed under this section has had nondestructive testing in accordance with the cedures of Section VIII of the ASME Code where applicable.
ddition the entire fuel handling system was tested using a dummy fuel element before the t was put into operation.
following specific tests are performed on the individual equipment in addition to the above new and spent fuel storage racks are tested with a dummy fuel assembly for ease of insertion alignment each time a cavity is fabricated, and after the rack is assembled.
fuel transfer tube is given a vacuum base test to check for leaks.
spent fuel pool platform crane and spent fuel cask crane cables are given rope tests.
spent fuel pool platform crane and spent fuel cask crane, after fabrication and assembly at the dors shop, are given no-load running tests.
ks which are designed to support fuel assemblies are volumetrically tested to detect internal cts prior to testing. The hooks are tested at 150 percent of rated load. After the 150 percent test, they are subjected to liquid penetrant inspection in accordance with ASME Section VIII ssure Vessels Code.

- p. Utilizing a dummy fuel assembly and a dummy CEA, each having the same weight, center ravity, exterior size and end geometry as an actual assembly, all equipment is run through eral complete operational cycles. In addition, the equipment is checked for its ability to orm under the maximum limits of load, fuel mislocation and misalignment. All traversing hanisms are tested for speed and positioning accuracy. All hoisting equipment is tested for ical functions and controls, rotation, and load misalignment. Hoisting equipment is also tested 125 percent of maximum working load. Setpoints are determined and adjusted and the stment limits are verified. Interlock function, and backup systems operations are checked.
se functions having manual operation capability are exercised manually. During these tests various operating parameters such as motor speed, voltage, and current, hydraulic system sures, and load measuring accuracy and setpoints are recorded. At the completion of these s the equipment is checked for cleanliness and the locking of fasteners by lockwire or other ns is verified.
en finally installed in the field, the equipment is again tested in a manner which, in effect, is a at of the tests performed at the vendors plant. This allows determination of any changes in stment and condition which may have ensued from transit to the site. In addition, the tests in field permit determination of characteristics which are unique to the actual site installation
, therefore, cannot be duplicated in the vendors shop test.

selected outdoor temperature values have been substantiated by data collected from the lstone Site meteorology tower during a nineteen year span (1974-1992). Millstone Site matological summary of occurrences of outdoor ambient temperatures below 0°F and above F and their durations are shown in Reference 2.3-1, Table 2.3-19, of Section 2.3. The summer winter outdoor design temperatures are as follows:

2 CONTROL ELEMENT DRIVE MECHANISM COOLING SYSTEM 2.1 Design Bases 2.1.1 Functional Requirements Control Element Drive Mechanism (CEDM) cooling system functions to maintain a suitable ironment within the CEDM shroud to provide an acceptable coil life and maintain an eptable coil replacement cycle.
2.1.2 Design Criteria following criteria have been used in the design of the CEDM cooling system:
28/18 9.9-2 Rev. 36
- b. The system shall have suitable subsystem and component alignments to assure operation of complete subsystem with associated components.
- c. Capabilities shall be provided to assure the system operation with on site power (assuming off site power is not available) or with off site electrical power.
- d. A single failure in either subsystem shall not affect the functional capability of the other subsystem.
- e. The system shall be designed to permit periodic inspection of important components, such as fans, cooling coils, ductwork, piping, valves and instrumentation to assure the integrity and capability of the system.
- f. The components of the CEDM cooling system shall be designed to operate in the environment to which exposed.
2.2 System Description 2.2.1 System CEDM cooling system is shown schematically in Figure 9.9-1.
CEDM cooling system consists of three identical, redundant, independent fan-coil units, each able of removing 0.81 x 106 Btu/hr. The containment air is circulated through the finned-tube-er cooling coils and is supplied by fans to the CEDM shroud. The CEDM shroud is provided h internal baffles to assure proper air distribution over the CEDM coils. The Reactor Building sed Cooling Water (RBCCW) system (Section 9.4) serves as the cooling medium. Air is plied via two ducts to the upper cooling plenum from two of the three cooling units located on missile shield above. The air is distributed through four vertical ducts of the shroud to the er plenum. The air is discharged through holes in the inner shell of the lower plenum.
2.2.2 Components major system components and associated fabrication and performance data are listed in le 9.9-1. Fan performance curve is shown in Figure 9.9-5.
2.3 System Operation ling is required for the CEDM whenever the coils are energized (Section 3.3.3). Cooling is required for safe shutdown of the unit but can be provided to prolong coil life.
28/18 9.9-3 Rev. 36
at 95°F is supplied into the shroud to remove the sensible heat from the CEDM coils. The ling air maintains these CEDM coils below a maximum operating temperature of 350°F. The s heated sensibly to 120°F and discharged from the shroud.
al heat removal capabilities are provided by operating any two of the three CEDM coils. The tchover from one fan-coil unit to the other is accomplished by remote manual control from the trol room. A damper on each fan discharge prevents short circuiting of air through the idle
. The air temperature entering the CEDM is monitored by the computer (Section 7.5.5). Motor alarms are provided for all fans.
2.3.2 Abnormal Operation ing abnormal operation, the CEDM cooling system functions as required to maintain the ironment within the shroud. Cooling is required for a short time only following a scram of the trol rods. Whenever the rods are scrammed, the CEDM coils are de-energized. The CEDM ling system functions to remove residual heat until the CEDM coils are cooled to ambient peratures. The CEDM coil temperatures are monitored on the computer.
cooling of the CEDM coils during abnormal conditions is not critical to shutdown. However, operation is provided to maintain an acceptable CEDM coil life.
2.4 Availability and Reliability 2.4.1 Special Features two of the three CEDM cooling units is capable of maintaining the design environment hin the CEDM shroud. Any one of the three units is capable of maintaining the shroud ambient perature below 145°F which is the recommended maximum design temperature. Therefore, tdown is required only upon failure of all three of the CEDM cooling units.
components of the CEDM cooling system are designed to operate in an environment of
°F, atmospheric pressure, 100 percent relative humidity and 5 x 106 rad of accumulated (40 rs) radiation dose.
CEDM cooling units are located on the reactor vessel missile shield and, therefore, are not osed to flooding or credible missiles.
2.4.2 Tests and Inspection vaneaxial fans are similar to fans which are rated in accordance with Air Moving and ditioning Association (AMCA) Standard 211A. The water cooling coils are tested in ordance with Section VIII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Tubular hanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA), Class C. The ductwork is designed and 28/18 9.9-4 Rev. 36
CEDM cooling system undergoes an acceptance test prior to startup. The test procedure is cribed in Chapter 13.
CEDM cooling system is not accessible for inspection or maintenance except during tdown.
3 CONTAINMENT AND ENCLOSURE BUILDING PURGE SYSTEM 3.1 Design Bases 3.1.1 Functional Requirements purge system functions to maintain a suitable environment for personnel access into the tainment or enclosure building. The purge system provides fresh air ventilation or heating never required.
3.1.2 Design Criteria following criteria have been used in the design of the purge system:
- a. The containment and enclosure building purge system shall be designed to permit periodic inspection of important components such as fan, motor, belt, coil, ductwork, piping and valves to assure the integrity and capability of the system.
- b. The purge containment isolation valves shall be designed with leak detection capabilities.
- c. The components of the system shall be designed to operate in the environment to which exposed.
3.2 System Description 3.2.1 System purge system is shown schematically in Figure 9.9-1.
purge system can be lined up to either containment or the enclosure building.
purge system is designed to provide adequate fresh air for the containment or the enclosure ding by using supply fan F-23. However, the purge rate is balanced to maintain a negative sure in the area being purged. Its associated steam heating coil, X-43, is sized to temper 0°F ide air to 70°F for personnel comfort, maintaining a desired environment atmosphere perature of approximately 60°F, which is consistent throughout the plant for unmanned areas.
28/18 9.9-5 Rev. 36
ept interior ducts and two isolation valves, will be located outside the containment. Branch ts and isolation dampers are provided for ventilating the enclosure building. Auxiliary steam is vided as the heating medium when required.
3.2.2 Components major system components and associated fabrication and performance data are listed in le 9.9-2. Fan performance curve is shown in Figure 9.9-6.
3.3 System Operation purge system is not operating and the containment isolation valves are locked closed in des 1 through 4 by shutting them, pulling their control power fuse and locking their associated block. By locking them closed in this manner, these valves are considered sealed closed ation valves. When access to the containment is desired and the Plant is in the cold shutdown he refueling mode, the purge fan, if required, is started and the isolation valve opened. If a h containment radiation level is detected, the containment air purge supply and exhaust valves, C-4, 2-AC-5, 2-AC-6 and 2-AC-7, receive a signal to close (FSAR Section 7.3.2.2.c).
wever, automatic isolation of the purge valves is not credited in the fuel handling accident lyses.
3.3.1 Normal Operation purge system is initiated manually in the control room by operator action. Hand switches are vided to start the fan and open isolation valves and dampers. The third main exhaust fan ction 9.9.9 is started to exhaust the containment through particulate and high efficiency iculate air (HEPA) filters (Section 9.9.9.2.2). The system performance is monitored by tainment temperature indication (Section 7.5). Air is supplied in the containment above the rating floor. Mixing is provided by the containment air recirculation and cooling system ction 6.5) throughout the lower elevations of the containment. Mixing is provided throughout upper regions of the containment by the containment auxiliary circulation system ction 9.9.3). The containment ambient conditions during shutdown are described in tion 6.5.3.4.
side air is filtered prior to distribution within the containment. A steam heating coil is vided for tempering the outside air when required. During summer conditions, the outside air upplied at approximately 86°F. During winter conditions, the outside air is tempered and plied at 70°F.
ioactive effluents released to the site boundary resulting from the containment purge rations are described in the Environmental Report.
containment isolation valves (2-AC-4, 2-AC-5, 2-AC-6, 2-AC-7) on the purge system are ed closed, pneumatically isolated and electrically isolated during all modes of operation 28/18 9.9-6 Rev. 36

15.2 System Description 15.2.1 System safety-related Heating/Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are provided for the ke structure and other general areas of the plant (i.e., radiation protection facility, telephone ms, computer rooms, etc.) to maintain a year round environment suitable for personnel and ipment. However, the only areas containing safety related equipment are the main equipment m of the intake structure, which houses the safety related service water system, as well as other safety related equipment such as the circulating water pumps, traveling screens and the Old mputer Room which houses the safety related Inadequate Core Cooling Monitoring System CMS) as well as other non safety-related equipment including CISCO Network Switches that y data from the Station Transformers and RCP vibration monitors to the PPC.
ing normal operation, the temperature of the intake structure main equipment room is a imum of 45°F, and a maximum of 104°F, with a design basis minimum temperature of 40°F.
n loss of ventilation exhaust fans F-114A/B/C, the maximum nominal design temperature of area of the intake structure is 130°F. In the event of such a loss of forced ventilation, two sive nonmechanical roof ventilators X-219A and X-219C maintain the main equipment room r below 130°F through natural circulation. The non safety related equipment located within main equipment room of the intake structure is designed for 104°F while the safety related ipment is qualified for a nominal temperature of 130°F.
ing normal operation, the temperature of the Old Computer Room is nominally maintained at F. The majority of room heat gain is from interior walls and the floor separating adjacent plant ces that are at higher temperatures given normal plant operating conditions. A comparatively ll amount of heat gain is due to equipment within the room. As a result, no heating is required older weather due to heat loss through exterior walls and the ceiling/roof. Upon loss of the air ditioning system (X199/198), under worst case accident conditions, the room temperature will to 117.4°F. This results in internal ICCMS cabinet temperatures less than their maximum wable temperature of 122°F.

major system components and associated fabrication and performance data for the main ipment room of the intake structure and Old Computer Room are listed in Table 9.9-15.
15.3 System Operation se non-safety related HVAC systems maintain a year round environment suitable for onnel and equipment during normal and shutdown plant operations. Since the main ipment room of the intake structure and the Old Computer Room of the Auxiliary Building are only areas containing safety related equipment, the other plant areas will not be discussed in subsequent subsections.
15.3.1 Normal Operation he summer mode, the ventilation/cooling is provided to the main equipment room by roof aust fans F-114A/B/C which draw outside air through the four 8 foot by 10 foot louvered nings in the west wall of the intake structure, past the equipment being cooled, then out ugh the exhaust fan discharge. In the winter mode, the wall louvers are closed, mostatically controlled electric heaters operate as needed during times of colder outdoor peratures, and the exhaust fans are manually cycled on/off as necessary to maintain main ipment room temperatures in the range of 45°F to 104°F.
exhaust fans F-114A/B/C are manually started by operator action at locally mounted control tches.
Old Computer Room is cooled by a split air conditioning system that is automatically trolled by a thermostat nominally set to 70°F. Air is circulated within the room by Air Handler 98 which distributes air to four ceiling outlets. Air conditioning is required all year round marily due to the heat gain through interior walls and the floor.
15.4 Availability and Reliability 15.4.1 Special Features oss of the intake structure ventilation/cooling system, which is of concern only in the summer de of operation, will not require a plant shutdown, since passive roof ventilators X-219A and 19C, in conjunction with the opened wall louvers, provides natural circulation which ntains the space at or below 130°F. This natural circulation results from a draft being created ween the louvers in the west wall of the intake structure, past the service water pumps, and up ugh the roof ventilators. All safety related components in the main equipment area of the ke structure are qualified for operation in a 130°F environment.
oss of heating in the intake structure main equipment room, either through reduced heat load ing shutdown conditions) or loss of the space heaters, which is of concern only in the winter de of operation, could cause freezing conditions that could affect the operability of the service 28/18 9.9-41 Rev. 36
ipment room of the intake structure falls to 40°F or below.
oss of air conditioning in the Old Computer Room will not result in exceeding the qualified rating temperature of 122°F for all safety related components in this area.

Millstone Nuclear Power Station Fire Protection Program Manual, (Reference 9.10-1), has n developed to ensure that any single fire will not cause an unacceptable risk to public health safety, will not prevent the performance of necessary safe shutdown functions, and will not ificantly increase the risk of radioactive release to the environment.
ire Protection Program has been established at Millstone Unit 2. This program establishes the protection policy for the protection of structures, systems, and components important to the ty of the plant and the procedures, equipment, and personnel required to implement the gram. For details, refer to the Station Procedure for the Millstone Fire Protection Program ference 9.10-4).
Fire Protection Program is under the direction of an individual who has been delegated ority commensurate with the responsibilities of the position. Refer to the Fire Protection gram Manual.
.1 DESIGN BASES achieve and maintain a high level of confidence for the Fire Protection Program, it has been anized and is administered using the defense in depth concept. The defense-in-depth concept res that if any level of fire protection fails, another level is available to provide the required nse. In fire protection terms, this defense in depth concept consists of the following levels:
- a. Preventing fires from starting.
- b. Early detection of fires that do start and controlling and/or extinguishing them quickly so as to limit their damage.
- c. Designing the safety system so that if a fire should start in spite of the fire prevention program, and if it should burn for a considerable period of time in spite of fire suppression activities, it will not prevent the safe shutdown of the plant.
e of these levels can be perfect or complete, but strengthening any one level can compensate ome measure for weaknesses, known or unknown, in the others.
0.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 0.2.1 Site Water Supply System underground fire protection water supply consists of a 12 inch cement lined iron pipe in a p arrangement around Millstone Units 1, 2, and 3. Post-indicating type valves in the piping p permit partial pipeline isolation without interrupting service to the entire system.
supply system services individually valved lines feeding fixed pipe water suppression ems (sprinklers, water spray, and standpipes) throughout the plant. Hydrants are located on an 28/18 9.10-1 Rev. 36
r the hydrants.
Millstone Station Fire Water Loop is supplied from two 250,000 gallon ground level suction
- s. The tanks are automatically filled through a domestic water line fed from the city water em. This line is a 12 inch city feed with a 10 inch meter, bypass line, and two backflow venters. The city supply is capable of refilling the fire water tanks in eight hours. Valves on the rconnected tank suction lines provide the capability to manually isolate each tank in the event ailure of a tank or its piping system. The fire protection water supply system is independent of ice and sanitary water piping systems.
o fire pump houses contain the stations three fire pumps each rated at 2,000 gpm at 100 psi.
three pumps can take suction from either or both tanks and have individual connections to the erground supply system. All three fire pumps have separate control panels supplied from arate power supplies. Pump running and trouble signals for P-82 are available in the Unit 3 trol Room. All pumps and fire water tank level alarms are in the Unit 3 Control Room.
Unit 3 (Building 123) Fire Pumphouse contains the electric fire pump (M7-8), the diesel en fire pump (M7-7), and the 50 gpm electric jockey pump (M7-11). The Unit 2 ilding 124) Fire Pumphouse is a separate structure adjacent to Building 123 and contains the er electric fire pump (P-82). These pumphouses are adjacent and independent of each other h the exception of sharing a common barrier.
tem operation is such that the 50 gpm electric jockey pump (M7-11) maintains system sure by automatically starting when line pressure drops to approximately 105 psig and will until pressure reaches 120 psig as indicated by a line pressure switch. An electric interlock ween the jockey pump and the M7-7 and M7-8 pump exists which stops the jockey pump n either pump starts. A hydro-pneumatic tank is provided in the system to prevent short ling of the jockey pump. The electric driven fire pump (P-82) is driven by an AC motor from 480V load center Bus 22D. This pump is activated by a pressure switch set at 95 psig. In the nt this switch or pump fails to operate and line pressure continues to drop, the electric pump
-8) is activated by a separate pressure switch set at 85 psig. This pump is driven by an motor powered from the MP3 480V Load Center Bus 32Q. In the event this switch or pump s to operate, or system demand overwhelms this capacity and line pressure continues to drop, Diesel Driven Fire Pump (M7-7) is activated by a separate pressure switch set at 75 psig. The el driven fire pump is electrically independent with its own self contained redundant battery em for starting. A battery charger is provided for maintaining the batteries charged.
P-82 motor driven pump automatically stops after system pressure is maintained at 100 psi 5 minutes. Once started, the M7-7 and M7-8 fire pumps remain in operation until manually ped.
major fire in any location of the Millstone Unit 2 site should occur, the combined water tanks makeup water capacity would provide an adequate water supply for Millstone Unit 2. The 28/18 9.10-2 Rev. 36
site fire water system can be connected to the auxiliary feedwater system to provide an rnate source of water in the event that the primary source of water in the condensate storage is depleted and cannot be adequately replenished. The combination of the two storage tanks h the potential for replenishment from the city water supply provide multiple, reliable sources ater with which to feed the steam generators and remove decay heat over an indefinite period me. The Technical Requirements Manual ensures the availability of fire water.
ase of a loss of off site power and service water, fire water may be provided for cooling one G via a cross-connection to the service water supply to the EDGs.
.2.1.1 Water Suppression Systems
- 1. Sprinkler and Waterspray Systems Sprinkler and waterspray systems, provided in various areas of the plant where in-situ combustible loading warrants such protection, have been designed using the guidance of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard Number 13, for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems or NFPA Standard Number 15 for Waterspray Fixed Systems.
Water systems are provided in the following design arrangement:
- Automatic wet-pipe sprinkler;
- Automatic fixed waterspray; and
- Automatic preaction sprinkler.
The individual system details and general locations are indicated in the Fire Hazards Analysis (FHA) (Reference 9.10-2).
- 2. Automatic Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems Wet-pipe sprinkler systems have closed sprinkler heads, and an alarm check valve or alarm flow switch. All systems are provided with an outside screw and yoke (OS&Y) isolation valve between the supply connections and system distribution piping.
- 3. Automatic Fixed Waterspray Systems Fixed waterspray systems are of the automatic design. All systems have a deluge valve located between the supply header and the distribution piping. An OS&Y isolation valve or post indicating valve (PIV) is used on all systems. Upon 28/18 9.10-3 Rev. 36
Automatic operation is initiated by a single zone heat detection circuit installed in the hazard area.
- 4. Automatic Preaction Sprinkler Systems Preaction type sprinkler systems are of the automatic design. All systems have a deluge/preaction valve located between the supply header and the distribution piping. Where appropriate, distribution piping is supervised by monitoring air pressure. An OS&Y isolation valve or PIV is used on all systems. Upon actuation of the deluge/preaction valve, water flows into the distribution piping. Upon actuation of each individual sprinkler head, water is discharged. Automatic operation is initiated by single zone heat detection circuit installed in the hazard area.
.2.1.2 Gaseous Suppression Systems
- 1. Carbon Dioxide Systems The Main Generator Exciter enclosure is protected with a total flooding carbon dioxide system. This system is automatically discharged by activation of two heat detectors provided in the enclosure. The system can also be manually activated by use of a manual pull station. The carbon dioxide suppression systems are designed using the guidance of NFPA12.
- 2. Halon Systems Total flooding Halon 1301 fire suppression systems are provided for the Old Computer Room (A-26) subfloor and the New Computer Room (A-27), Z1 and Z2 DC Switchgear Rooms.
The Halon suppression systems are designed using the guidance of NFPA 12A, Halon 1301 Suppression Systems.
.2.1.3 Portable Suppression Capabilities
- 1. Hose Stream Coverage Hose stream coverage is available to all fire areas of the plant from stand pipe connections to fixed 1.5 inch hose stations or by use of 2.5 inch diameter hose with gated wye connections available from outside hose houses.
Hose station locations are listed in the Millstone Unit 2 Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) (Reference 9.10-6).
28/18 9.10-4 Rev. 36
Selection and placement of portable fire extinguishers are in accordance with the intent of the guidelines of NFPA Standard Number 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers. All extinguishers utilized are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed.
.2.1.4 Fire Detection and Alarm Systems fire detection and alarm systems installed in the plant are designed in general compliance h NFPA Standard Number 72D, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of prietary Protective Signaling Systems.
detection systems are used for early warning detection and in some cases may have the ability to actuate water suppression systems.
ection devices consist of rate-of-rise, fixed temperature, line type, and rate compensated heat ctors, and smoke detectors. Smoke detectors employ either the ionization or photoelectric ciple. Specific application of these detectors in each fire area is detailed in the FHA.
eneral, the installation of detector units is in accordance with the intent of the guidelines set h in NFPA Standard Number 72E, Standard on Automatic Fire Detectors.
/smoke detectors, as with waterflow indicators, CO2 and Halon actuation indicators and valve per devices are arranged to transmit signals to local alarm panels and a water suppression em control panel, if applicable. Actuation signals are also transmitted through the local alarm els to control panels in the Control Room. Trouble signals for these devices are transmitted in milar manner.
alarm system also monitors other miscellaneous fire protection system (FPS) features such as 2 system trouble, Halon system trouble, and preaction sprinkler system air pressure.
.2.1.5 Ventilation Systems and Smoke Removal moval of the products of combustion from any specific plant area requires the use of the mal plant ventilation system. Millstone Unit 2 relies mainly on power venting to satisfy the mmended smoke and heat venting guidelines set forth. No ventilation system was designed the sole purpose of exhausting smoke or corrosive gases. In all areas where airborne activity ld exist, the ventilation is monitored prior to release.
ventilation and filtration systems of safety related or potential radiation release areas are ussed in detail for the cable spreading area, switchgear rooms, battery rooms, 480V load ters, containment, intake structure, auxiliary building, fuel handling area, auxiliary feedwater p room, control room, engineered safety features room, diesel rooms, and enclosure building SAR Section 9.9, "Plant Ventilation Systems".
28/18 9.10-5 Rev. 36
.3.1 Evaluation Criteria evaluation of the overall Fire Protection Program as indicated by the FHA, found that the gram does provide reasonable assurance that a fire will not cause an unacceptable risk to the lic health and safety. The fire protection program accomplishes this by assuring a fire will not vent the performance of necessary safe shutdown functions and will not significantly increase risk of radioactive release to the environment. Therefore, the Fire Protection Program meets basic requirements of General Design Criteria (GDC) 3 and 5. Appendix A to Branch hnical Position (BTP) APCSB 9.5-1, Guidelines for Fire Protection for Nuclear Power nts, provides the implementing criteria for GDC 3 and gives the general guidelines used to ew Millstone Unit 2. Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5.1 provides the guidelines acceptable to NRC staff for implementing the following criteria:
- a. GDC 3 (10 CFR 50, Appendix A) - Fire Protection.
- b. Defense-in-Depth Criterion: For each fire hazard, a suitable combination of fire prevention, fire detection and suppression capability, and ability to withstand safely the effects of a fire is provided. Both equipment and procedural aspects of each are considered.
- c. Single-Failure Criterion: No single active failure shall result in complete loss of protection of both the primary (fixed installed systems) and backup fire suppression capability (standpipe/extinguishers).
- d. Fire Suppression System Capacity and Capability: Fire suppression capability is provided, with capacity adequate to extinguish any fire that can credibly occur and have no significant adverse effects on equipment and components important to safety.
- e. Backup Fire Suppression Capability: Total reliance for fire protection is not placed on a single automatic fire suppression system. Appropriate backup fire suppression capability is provided in the form of portable fire extinguishers or hose stations.
- f. Acceptability of Manual Fire Suppression: When it can be shown that safe-shutdown capability is independent of any credible fire, manual fire fighting capability is sufficient to protect safety-related systems.
ddition to the specific guidance of the BTP, the evaluation considered the adequacy of the Fire tection Program on the effects of potential fire hazards throughout the plant based on sound protection engineering practices and judgments.
28/18 9.10-6 Rev. 36
Protection was evaluated by conducting an FHA of individual fire areas and fire zones within plant.
etailed description of the analysis method is given in the following summary:
- 1. Plant design features related to fire safety were determined. These include the overall plant layout, type, and location of combustible materials, type of construction and its fire resistant characteristics, fire detection, and fire suppression systems, separation distance, etc.
- 2. Areas containing equipment and components important to safety were identified.
These areas and adjacent areas with fire hazard potential were subdivided into fire areas and zones within areas on the basis of existing fire barrier boundaries and other logical physical divisions or equipment groupings. For each fire area/zone, the following were determined:
- a. Total heat potential (Btu/ft2) in the area/zone, assuming total combustion of cable insulation, oil, charcoal, and other identifiable combustibles including transients.
- b. Fire severity is determined by the material burned and its rate of burning.
To evaluate the fire resistance needed for any fire barrier, a fire severity (duration) is developed for each area. Severity is measured in terms of temperature and fire duration. Once the total heat potential (Btu/ft2) of an area or zone has been computed and has been corrected to be equivalent to wood, an equivalent fire severity may be determined.
To determine an equivalent fire severity, Table 5-9B, Estimated Fire Severity for Offices and Light Commercial Occupancies, NFPA, Fire Protection Handbook, Fifteenth Edition, has been adopted for this analysis.
- c. Safety related equipment and safe shutdown equipment and systems in the area.
- d. Fire detection and suppression systems.
- e. Fire area/zone boundaries.
- 3. For each area/zone, the adequacy of existing fire detection and fire suppression systems was evaluated considering the combustibility of materials, potential ignition sources, and the concentration of combustible materials.
28/18 9.10-7 Rev. 36
specific analysis results for each fire area or zone are provided in the FHA.
NFPA Standard Time-Temperature Curve is representative of the severity of a fire completely ning out of brick, wood-joisted building and its contents. The curve has been adopted by the erican National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society for Testing and erials (ASTM) in ANSI/ASTM E 119, Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Building struction and Materials. This curve has been used in the fire hazard analysis to evaluate fire ation.
0.3.3 Fire Areas and Zones plant arrangement is divided into fire areas and fire zones for the purposes of conducting the A. Fire areas are defined as plant areas bounded by fire rated assemblies of either three hour d construction or lesser fire resistance as specifically identified and justified in the FHA. For analysis a fire area may also be defined by physical separation of combustible materials and t in fire suppression features which will contain a fire to an area of origin. Examples of built in ures include water curtains and gaseous fire suppression systems.
zones are zones within fire areas that are used to more thoroughly describe the fire area. Fire es may or may not be bounded by fire-rated construction.
the purposes of the FHA, the fire areas and fire zones were divided in accordance with the inal divisions in the 1977 FHA. These divisions provide a clear indication of the combustibles hin a location and their effect on equivalent fire severity. The Millstone Unit 2 Appendix R lysis uses different fire area divisions based on separation requirements. The safe shutdown luation relies only on fire areas to determine the effects of fire on safe shutdown. These sions result in large fire areas that do not permit accurate fire loading and equivalent fire erity analysis. Therefore, from a fire protection standpoint, the divisions in the FHA provide e indicative results with a broader range of uses.
wings provided in the FHA show fire zone/area division and serve as reference for this ion.
0.3.4 Fire Hazard Analysis Results FHA results for each fire area are contained in the FHA (Reference 9.10-2).
0.4 INSPECTION AND TESTING ministrative controls are provided through existing Plant Administrative Procedures, rating Procedures and the Quality Assurance Program to ensure that the Fire Protection gram and equipment is properly maintained. This includes Quality Assurance (QA) audits of program implementation, conduct of periodic test inspections, and remedial actions for 28/18 9.10-8 Rev. 36
ipment deficiencies.
fire protection equipment and systems are subject to periodic inspections and tests in ordance with the intent of National Fire Codes and the Fire Protection Program.
technical requirements found in Millstone Unit 2 TRM (Reference 9.10-6) describe the ting condition for operation and surveillance requirements for the FPS. These technical uirements ensure the FPS is properly maintained and operated.
ipment out of service including fire suppression, detection, and barriers are controlled through administrative program and appropriate remedial actions taken. The program requires all airments to FPS to be identified and appropriate notification given to the Fire Protection tem Engineer for evaluation.
conditions warrant, remedial actions include compensatory measures to ensure adequate level ire protection in addition to timely efforts to effect repairs and restore equipment to service.
.5 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION AND TESTING
.5.1 Fire Protection Organization mulation, implementation, and assessment of the effectiveness of the Fire Protection Program delegated as indicated in Reference 9.10-1, the Fire Protection Program Manual.

The Fire Brigade Shift Leader is qualified to provide direction and support concerning t operations and priorities for their assigned unit. When a specific unit does not have a Fire gade Shift Leader, a Fire Brigade Advisor from that unit is required in addition to the five mber Fire Brigade.
mbers of the Fire Brigade are trained by the Nuclear Training Department. A list of Fire gade training programs is located in Reference 9.10-5.
Fire Brigade personnel are responsible for responding to all fires, fire alarms, and fire drills.
ensure availability, a minimum of a Shift Leader and four Fire Brigade personnel shall remain 28/18 9.10-9 Rev. 36
ssistance is needed to fight a fire, additional equipment and manpower is supplied by the off local fire departments. Within a 5 mile radius of the plant there are numerous local volunteer companies. Letters of commitment to supply public fire department assistance have been ined from these fire companies.

.5.3 Quality Assurance QA Program has been applied via the Fire Protection Program Manual to the FPSs, ponents, and programs providing fire detection and suppression capabilities to those areas of plant that are important to safety.
.6 SAFETY SHUTDOWN DESIGN BASES agraph 50.48(b) of 10 CFR 50, which became effective on February 17, 1981, requires all lear plants licensed to operate prior to January 1, 1979 to comply with specific portions of tion III of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, in addition to any previous fire protection Safety luation Reports (SERs). One of the applicable sections,Section III.G, requires that fire ection features be provided for those systems, structures, and components important to safe tdown. These features must be capable of limiting fire damage so that:
- 1. One train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions from either the Main Control Room or the Emergency Control Station(s) is free of fire damage; and
- 2. Systems necessary to achieve and maintain cold shutdown from either the Main Control Room or the Emergency Control Station(s) can be repaired with 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
tion III.L of Appendix R and Generic Letters 81-12 and 86-10 provide additional guidance on NRC Staffs requirements for this safe shutdown capability.
28/18 9.10-10 Rev. 36
nsees:
- 1. Separation of redundant safe shutdown systems outside of containment by either three hour rated barriers, one hour rated barriers plus automatic suppression and detection, or 20 feet of horizontal separation free of intervening combustibles or hazards plus automatic suppression and detection (Section III.G.2, 10 CFR 50 Appendix R)
- 2. An alternate or dedicated shutdown system and fixed suppression (Section III.G.3, 10 CFR 50 Appendix R)
- 3. A combination of measures that are shown by analysis to provide an equivalent level of protection (10 CFR 50.48(c)[6] exemption request) 0.6.1 Safety Functions cific safe shutdown functions necessary to satisfy Appendix R criteria are as follows:
- 1. Reactor Reactivity Control Function
- 2. Reactor Coolant Makeup Control Function
- 3. Reactor Heat Removal Function
- 4. Process Monitoring Function
- 5. Supporting Functions selection of these functions is based on safe shutdown performance goals identified in BTP EB 9.5-1 Section C.5.c(2).
safe shutdown functions, described above, assure that the reactor will be safely shut down, led down, and maintained in a cold shutdown condition. The achievement of safe shutdown ditions precludes the occurrence of an unrecoverable plant condition, e.g., uncontrolled ary depressurization, loss of decay heat removal capability, or a breach of the reactor coolant em (RCS) boundaries.
.6.2 Analysis of Safe Shutdown Systems and Components exact location, duration, and magnitude of potential fires at the plant cannot be predicated in ance. To ensure that safe shutdown can be achieved following any postulated fire, Millstone t 2 has been divided into fire shutdown areas. The maximum credible fire was considered for h fire shutdown area. An engineering evaluation was then conducted to ensure that a fire inating in any one area would not spread to an adjacent fire shutdown area.
28/18 9.10-11 Rev. 36
rable to allow plant operators to achieve safe shutdown. Where necessary, equipment difications were made, credit was taken for manual operation of remotely actuated valves, and rating and repair procedures were generated, to allow this goal to be achieved. By repeating process for each fire shutdown area, a set of fire shutdown systems, components and cedures was produced. This set is adequate to ensure that safe shutdown can be achieved and ntained regardless of the location of the fire.
above approach is considered to be very conservative. In reality, existing fire detection and pression systems, and mitigating actions by the fire brigade, would limit the extent of fire age. Thus, additional systems would be functional, and the operators would have additional ibility in dealing with the effects of a fire.
ial Assumptions
- 1. The station is operating at 100% power upon the occurrence of a fire.
- 2. The reactor is tripped either manually or automatically.
- 3. The analysis assumes both a loss of off site power and availability of off site power, whichever poses the more severe shutdown condition.
- 4. No additional single failure is considered other than the loss of off site power, those failures directly attributable to the fire, and spurious operations that can be postulated to occur as a result of the fire.
- 5. No component or system required for safe shutdown is assumed to be out of service.
e Shutdown Systems following safe shutdown systems were identified and analyzed to determine which portions ded to remain operational and which needed to be isolated and remain isolated to meet the safe tdown functions.
- Safety Injection
- Chemical and Volume Control 28/18 9.10-12 Rev. 36
- Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water (RBCCW)
- Condensate Storage Tank (CST)
- Diesel Generator (DG)
- Ventilation and Area Coolers
- Emergency AC and DC Electrical Distribution lstone Unit 2 10 CFR 50 Appendix R Compliance Review (Reference 9.10-3) describes the rent features of the system which are required to achieve hot/cold shutdown and their ormance during the design basis fire in each of the Appendix R fire areas.
e Shutdown Components ist of safe shutdown components was developed based on the identified safe shutdown ems. Reference 9.10-3 provides a list of all safe shutdown equipment and instrumentation h their fire area locations.
.6.3 Safe Shutdown Analysis ed on the identified safe shutdown systems and components, a list of all associated power and trol cables were identified and their routing documented on a fire area basis.
er completion of the above tasks and the evaluation of the various scenarios for shutting down plant, a worst case failure analysis was developed for each fire area. The worst case fire in h area is considered a fire that disables all unprotected equipment and systems in that area. The lts of the safe shutdown analysis for each fire area is provided in the safe shutdown matrix vided in Reference 9.10-3. If safe shutdown cables exist in a fire area, a circuit failure analysis performed to determine the impact, if any, on safe shutdown. In some instances manual rator actions were used to mitigate or replace the function of cable assumed to be lost in the st case fire. The matrices also address required operator corrective actions which have to be ormed to allow shutdown for the worst case fire within any fire area. Reference 9.10-3 also vides a summary list of safe shutdown methods by fire area.
uit Failure Analysis ircuit failure analysis was performed when equipment/components, or cables for a component, in a fire area and:
28/18 9.10-13 Rev. 36
- 2. Spuriously the equipment/component actuates thereby preventing the system from performing its required function.
circuit failure analysis evaluated the effects of fire induced failures (hot shorts, shorts-to-unds, and open circuits) on that portion of the circuit that is located in the fire area in ordance with Generic Letters 81-12, 86-10, and Information Notice 84-09.
ociated Circuit Analysis ociated circuits are considered as those cables (safety-related, nonsafety-related, Class 1E or
-1E) that have physical separation less than that required by Section IIIG.2 of Appendix R are associated with safe shutdown circuits in one of three ways:
- Common bus
- Spurious signals
- Common enclosure determine the interaction of associated circuits with shutdown systems, a fire area approach utilized in which components and cables of components were identified for each fire area.
es of cables analyzed were power, control, and instrument cables.
tection between associated circuits of concern and shutdown circuits are addressed below for h concern:
- 1. Common Bus Concern Safety and nonsafety buses for Millstone Unit 2 were reviewed for those circuits which had a common power source with shutdown equipment, to ensure that the power source supply of the shutdown circuits are electrically protected.
- a. For the power sources of concern, the trip characteristics of primary and secondary electrical protection devices were reviewed to insure proper coordination.
- b. The NRCs Generic Letter 86-10, question 5.3.8, Short Circuit Coordination Studies, requests that the licensees consider the impact of high impedance faults on the shutdown capability. Simultaneous high impedance faults (below the trip point for the breaker on each individual circuit) were considered for all fire areas and area addressed in the shutdown matrices of Reference 9.10-3.
28/18 9.10-14 Rev. 36
- 2. Spurious Operation Concern Where equipment/components were subject to spurious operation which would affect the capability to safely shut down, various means of isolation and/or manual actions are utilized, such as prefire opening of circuit breakers, isolation of control circuits by transfer or isolation switches, or de-energizing and manually operating valves post fire. Valve 2-SI-651 has the disconnect switch in its power circuit locked open during plant heatup, while in Mode 4 prior to proceeding to Mode 3.
The disconnect switch is not re-closed (except for periodic testing/maintenance) until the plant attains Mode 4 again. Valves 2-MS-65A and 2-MS-65B have their MCC Power enabled at lockable disconnect switches (on position to operate) during plant start up while in Mode 2 or 3 prior to proceeding to Mode 1. The disconnect switches are not put back to the on position (except for periodic testing/maintenance) or until the plant attains Mode 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 again. Valve 2-MS-202 has a disconnect switch at its MCC that is off during plant start up while in Mode 4 prior to proceeding to Mode 3. The disconnect keys are kept in the control room and the disconnect switches are not put back in the on position (except for periodic testing/maintenance) until the plant attains Mode 4, 5 or 6 again.
Spurious Signal Concern, Current Transformers A current transformer study was performed to determine the applications of where secondary circuits of current transformers were routed between fire areas and were susceptible to fire-induced open circuit failures. Two generic applications resulted from the review, in one case, current transformers were used for protective relaying, and in the other case, current transformers were used for remote reading of current loads. The type JCS-0 current transformers are utilized at both the 4160V level and the 480V level. Manufacturer data on testing of both the current transformers and their secondary circuit wiring has indicated that under open circuit conditions, caused by fire, damage will not result in a breakdown of either component.
- 3. For Common Enclosure Concern By utilizing the fire area approach, all shutdown equipment and associated cables within a fire area had to be identified and considered subject to a fire induced failure, unless otherwise justified.
.6.4 Reactor Inventory Isolation and Hi/Low Pressure Interfaces se systems that penetrate the RCS that are open to other systems and could cause diversion or of reactor inventory must be able to be isolated and remain isolated. Isolation is essential for 28/18 9.10-15 Rev. 36
systems which interface with the RCS and could divert inventory are as follows:
- Chemical and Volume Control Charging Lines
- Chemical and Volume Control Letdown Line

.6.5 Exemptions from the Specific Requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, III.G.2, III.G.3, III.J and III.O following exemptions from the requirements of Appendix R have been granted:
- 1. Exemption from 10 CFR 50 III.J requirement to provide eight hour battery powered emergency lighting in general yard areas. The exemption allows the use of security lights to illuminate outdoor areas to access the Vital Bus 14H Enclosure (formerly Emergency Bus 24F), Intake Structure and Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Pipe Chase Enclosure.
28/18 9.10-16 Rev. 36
Area (R-1) and MCC B61 (R-2). The exemption allows crediting the steel environmental enclosure for MCC B61, and a water curtain installed to protect the enclosure from fires in this area, as a fire barrier between MCC B61 and the Auxiliary Building.
- 3. Exemption from the requirement of Section III.O that requires the Reactor Coolant Pump Oil Collection System be designed to withstand the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE). The exemption was based on the RCP lubricating oil system being seismically qualified with oil leaks not expected as a result of an SSE. Also, the oil collection system is designed such that dropping of components during a SSE should not cause loss of operability of safety-related equipment nor cause a fire, the systems would not degrade safety features within containment.
- 4. Exemption from 10 CFR 50 III.G.2 requirement to provide 20 foot horizontal separation (with no intervening combustibles) between redundant Auxiliary Feedwater Valves (2-FW-43A,B) located in the Turbine Building (R-3). The exemption concludes that fire damage to these valves would either cause them to fail open in their required position, or cause them to fail closed, but capable of being opened.
- 5. Exemption from 10 CFR 50 III.G.2 criteria for separation of redundant charging pump trains located in the Charging Pump Room (R-4). The exemption credits the following for assuring the availability of at least one charging pump for a Charging Pump Room fire:
- low fire loading,
- partial height concrete walls,
- approximate 18 foot horizontal separation between pumps,
- oil spill containment curbing between the pump cubicles,
- existing area fire detection system,
- rerouting of the B and C charging pump (Facility Z2) cables outside fire area R-4.
- 6. Exemption from 10 CFR 50 III.G.3 requirement to provide a fixed suppression system in an area which relies upon alternative shutdown capability, the Intake Structure (R-16). This exemption was granted on the basis that low combustible loading, limited intervening combustibles, 19 feet of horizontal separation between the redundant service water pumps and existing fire protection features would be sufficient to limit the potential for fire damage to safe shutdown 28/18 9.10-17 Rev. 36
Unit 3 cross tie capability.
- 7. Exemption from 10 CFR 50 III.G.3 requirement to provide a fixed suppression system in an area which relies upon alternative shutdown capability, the East 480V Switchgear Room (R-11). This exemption was granted on the basis that low combustible loading, existing fire protection features and the close proximity of the control room which enhances early detection and manual suppression capability would be sufficient to limit the potential for fire damage to safe shutdown equipment in this area and an alternate safe shutdown capability (independent from this area of concern) is available to power hot shutdown equipment via the Unit 3 cross tie capability. Additional considerations for granting this exemption related to the potential water suppression system effects on electrical components, and gaseous suppression system effects on control room habitability.
- 8. Exemption from 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, III.J requirement to provide eight hour battery powered emergency lighting for access/egress to Unit 3 Alternate AC diesel generator (alternate AC source for fires in specifically identified Unit 2 Appendix R fire areas) based on the use of yard security lighting.

.1 DESIGN BASES
.1.1 Functional Requirements compressed air system provides a reliable supply of clean, dry, oil free, air for the pneumatic ruments, operators and controls. In addition, the system provides the necessary air uirements for normal maintenance.
.1.2 Design Criteria following criteria have been used in the design of the compressed air system:
- a. The instrument air system shall have two subsystems, each capable of providing the total air requirements of the unit.
- b. The instrument air system shall have suitable subsystem and component alignments to assure operation of a complete subsystem with associated components.
- c. Capabilities shall be provided to assure instrument air system operation with on site power (assuming off site power is not available) or with off site electrical power.
- d. The instrument and station air system shall be designed to permit periodic inspection of important components, such as air compressors, receiver tanks, dryers, after filters, piping, and valves to maintain the integrity and capability of the system.
.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
.2.1 System compressed air system is shown schematically in Figure 9.11-1 and 9.11-2. The system rporates two full capacity and one double capacity non lubricated compressors for instrument each having a separate inlet filter, aftercooler and moisture separator. The two full capacity ersoll-Rand instrument air compressors each have separate dedicated air dryer/filter mblies and an air receiver. The double capacity instrument air compressor has a separate, icated air receiver and instrument air dryer and filter assembly. All three compressor systems supply the instrument air header which then divides into branch lines supplying the ke structure, condensate storage tank area, turbine building, main steam dump valves, tainment structure, auxiliary building, enclosure building, diesel generator rooms, primary er storage tank area, and refueling water storage tank area.
28/18 9.11-1 Rev. 36
plying the intake structure, condensate storage tank area, turbine building, containment cture, auxiliary building, primary water storage tank area, refueling water storage tank area, the condensate polishing facility. Station Air also supplies Instrument Air to the condensate shing facility via a cross-tie with a dedicated air dryer located in the condensate polishing lity. A system cross-tie between Unit 3 service air and Unit 2 station air headers is also vided. In addition, manual cross ties are provided which allow the instrument air compressors e used to supplement the station air supply during periods of heavy use.
emergency backup cross tie from the station air header automatically supplies air to the rument air system if instrument air pressure falls below 85 psig. Local controls isolate station oads when station air is acting as the emergency backup supply to the instrument air system.
emotely operated manual cross tie within the containment can provide station air to the tainment instrument air branch line if the line pressure drops below 80 psig. In addition, a d instrument air receiver is located in the containment structure to provide a 30 minute supply ir in the event that both station and instrument branch lines fail.
design of the compressed air system is based on an estimated station air requirement of 600 m and a minimum instrument air requirement of 217 scfm.
le 9.11-2 gives information on the gas receiver tanks with the exception that tank rupture is considered because the receiver tanks have been designed, per ASME Section VIII, for sures greater than the maximum supply pressures, and each individual tank is provided with ASME Section VIII safety relief valve. As shown on the above-referenced table, all the gas iver tanks are in compliance with Section 1910.169 of OSHA.
.2.2 Components major components and associated fabrication and performance data are listed in Table 9.11-1.
.3 SYSTEM OPERATION
.3.1 Normal Operation ontinuous supply of instrument air is provided to regulate the controllers and controlled ices. Either of the following configurations is acceptable and can be considered normal ration: The double capacity instrument air compressor supplies both the instrument air and ion air systems through available cross tie valves and the other instrument air compressors are utomatic standby, or the station air compressor and one instrument air compressor operate and other instrument air compressors are on automatic standby.
28/18 9.11-2 Rev. 36
station or instrument air system can be utilized to provide makeup air for the containment ng the long term post-accident hydrogen purge operation (Section 6.6). The instrument and ion air systems are connected to the containment air monitoring system containment etrations (Figure 9.9-2). A globe valve and flow element on each connection provide manual regulation.
operated containment isolation valves are designed to assume the safe position by spring on following a loss of instrument air pressure at the valve operators or electric power to the e operator solenoid valves. Generally, containment isolation valves for nonessential process ems are designed to fail closed and remain tightly closed. Valves for essential processes are gned to fail open to assure proper system alignment. Valves which must close and be capable pening as the hydrogen purge valves are provided with accumulator tanks to assure an air ply. Valves required to maintain a fixed position are designed to fail as is. Where identified, cessible valves that must be capable of operating after a design basis loss-of-coolant accident also provided with backup air bottles to assure an air supply.

- g. The components of the ASDI system shall be designed to operate in the most severe auxiliary steam line break environment to which it is exposed.
.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
.2.1 System auxiliary steam and ASDI are shown schematically in Figure 9.13-1.
auxiliary steam system is provided for building heating and freeze protection for outdoor er storage tanks. Temporary electric heating has been provided to the fire water storage tanks le auxiliary steam supply is unavailable.
m for the auxiliary steam system is provided via a crosstie connection to Unit 3. Because the t 3 auxiliary steam system operates at 150 psig and the Unit 2 auxiliary steam system operates 0 psig, a pressure reducing valve station, including isolation and relief valves are installed.
pressure reducing valve station consists of two pressure reducing valves installed in parallel supplied with upstream and downstream isolation valves. The isolation valves are located at crosstie between the Unit 3 auxiliary steam system supply to Unit 2. The pressure reducing e station is located in the Condensate Polishing facility in line 3-ASS-008-15-4 downstream solation valve 2-ASS-3. This pressure reducing valve station regulates Unit 3 auxiliary steam em mass flow to Unit 2. The pressure reducing valve station is comprised of a two inch sure reducing valve, four inch pressure reducing valve, isolation valves, pressure sensing line, a dual operated controller. This configuration allows the two inch valve to regulate auxiliary m system mass flow from between 0 and 8,999 lb/hr as long as the downstream pressure sing line indicates an operating pressure of 50 psig or higher. When the downstream operating sure falls below 50 psig, the four inch pressure valve will modulate to allow up to the itional required 35,682 lb/hr auxiliary mass flow required for Unit 2 use.
afety relief valve located downstream of the pressure reducing valve station provides nstream pressure protection for Unit 2 system piping and connected equipment.
ddition a condensate return line from the Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater surge tank is routed to the t 2 condensate system. Condensate is routed to the auxiliary boiler deaerator, when the Unit 3 iliary boilers are supplying auxiliary steam, or to the Unit 3 condensate surge tank when Unit ain steam is supplying auxiliary steam.
.2.2 Auxiliary Steam Detection and Isolation System ASDI System is described in Section 7.10.
