SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION components of the steam and power conversion system are designed to electromechanically duce electrical power using steam from the steam generators. The steam is condensed, and rned to the steam generators as heated feedwater. The gaseous, dissolved and particulate urities are maintained within the level acceptable to the steam generators.
power conversion system includes the turbine generator, main condenser, air ejector and m packing exhauster, turbine steam dump and bypass system, and the feedwater pumping and ting system. The heat rejected to the main turbine condenser is transferred to the circulating er system.
m is generated in two generators and supplied to the high pressure section of the turbine.
m leaving the high pressure turbine passes through moisture separators and reheaters prior to ring the low pressure sections of the turbine. A portion of the turbine steam is extracted for water heating. The moisture separator drains, reheater drains, and drains from the top three hest pressure feedwater heaters are pumped into the feedwater stream. The drains from the aining lower three feedwater heaters are cascaded to the condenser.
m exhausted from the low pressure turbines is condensed and deaerated in the condenser. The densate pumps take suction from the condenser hotwell, delivering the condensate through the ine steam packing exhauster, the condensate polishing demineralizers, the air ejector denser, and five stages of low pressure feedwater heaters to two turbine-driven steam erator feedwater pumps whose suction and discharge are headered together. Steam generator water pumps discharge feedwater through high pressure heaters into each steam generator.
condensate and feedwater heating equipment is duplicate, half-capacity and arranged in llel trains from the air ejectors to the steam generators.
e turbine cycle utilizes all the steam being generated by the steam generators. The turbine m dump and bypass system is provided to discharge steam directly to the condenser during transient and turbine trip. If the condenser is not available, steam is discharged to the osphere through atmospheric dump valves and/or main steam safety valves.
Steam Generator blowdown liquid is normally discharged to the circulating water outlet, and roximately one-third of the steam generator blowdown liquid is flashed to steam and is harged to the environment via the Unit 2 steam generator blowdown tank vent on the losure building roof. When in use, the blowdown quench tank condenses the flashed steam, non-condensibles are vented to the gaseous waste processing system. Steam generator wdown from the sample line prior to the blowdown tank is continuously monitored for oactivity. Blowdown stop, blowdown tank drain, and blowdown quench tank drain valves are ed when high radioactivity is detected. Residual quantities in the blowdown system can be ually diverted to the radioactive waste processing system.

.1 DESIGN BASES
.1.1 Functional Requirements turbine generator converts steam energy to mechanical energy and mechanical into electrical rgy. The turbine generator is capable of receiving steam with up to 2715 MW thermal energy m the steam generators. The total energy available is converted to 935 MW electrical energy, the remainder is rejected to the condenser. A closed regenerative turbine cycle heats the densate and feedwater and returns it to the steam generators.
.1.2 Design Criteria following criteria have been used in the design of the turbine-generator:
- a. The turbine generator shall have the capacity to utilize all the steam produced by the steam generators at full power except that required for auxiliary use.
- b. The system shall have suitable means of controlling the speed, load, pressure and flow for startup, normal operations and all emergencies such that plant equipment is operated safely and in accordance with the prescribed mode.
- c. The system shall be designed to permit periodic testing of the important components such as main steam stop and control valves, combined intermediate valves, extraction no-return valves, and emergency overspeed trip systems. See Section 10.2.4.2 for a detailed description.
.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
.2.1 System General Electric turbine generator consists of the turbine, generator, exciter, controls, sture separator/reheaters, turbine lubricating oil, gland seal, stator system winding cooling er system, generator hydrogen sealing system and electrohydraulic control system. The sture separation package and reheat tube bundles for the moisture separator/reheaters have n replaced with equipment manufactured by the Senior Engineering Company. The General ctric pressure vessels have been retained.
1,800 rpm turbine includes one double flow high pressure turbine and two double flow low sure turbines. Exhaust steam from the high pressure turbine passes through two parallel sture separators/reheaters before entering the two low pressure turbines. The low pressure ines exhaust steam to the main turbine condenser.
turbine generator utilizes an electrohydraulic control (EHC) system which governs the speed,
, and flow for startup, operation and shutdown. The EHC unit trips the turbine on any of the 28/18 10.2-1 Rev. 36
sure is fed to the reactor regulating system as a load reference.
turbine lubricating oil system supplies lubrication for the bearings. A bypass stream of the ine lubricating oil flows continuously through an oil conditioner at a rate sufficient to process oil inventory once every six hours.
generator shaft is provided with oil seals to prevent hydrogen leakage. The generator field ited by an alternator located on the stub shaft of the generator.
turbine generator supervisory instrumentation is provided for operational analysis and function diagnosis.
.2.2 Components major system components and associated performance data are listed in Table 10.2-1.
.3 SYSTEM OPERATION turbine generator is designed to normally operate as a base-loaded machine.
.3.1 Startup turbine generator is started at 900 psia (controlled) steam generator pressure. Startup times initial speeds are functions of the turbine metal temperature. When the machine is at rated ed, it is synchronized with the electrical 345 kV network and then manually connected to the em.
2.3.2 Normal Operation turbine generator is operated and controlled by the EHC system which combines the turbine erator speed error signals with the generator load signal to produce the steam flow demand.
steam flow demand accurately positions the turbine steam flow control valves to maintain the uired speed and thereby satisfy the generator load. The turbine generator is capable of ommodating reactor maximum maneuvering limitations of a power change at a rate of five ent of full power per minute or up to a step change of 10 percent of full power.
2.4 AVAILABILITY AND RELIABILITY
.4.1 Special Features turbine generator is equipped with an electrohydraulic control system. It is highly reliable and loys components and subsystems of proven high reliability and a completely redundant speed trol subsystem (including speed pickups and logic). Logic is processed in electronic and raulic channels.
28/18 10.2-2 Rev. 36
vided by springs and steam forces upon the reduction or relief of fluid pressure. The system is gned to respond to a loss of fluid pressure for any reason, and leads to turbine inlet valve ing and consequent turbine generator shutdown.
ause of the extreme importance of guarding against excessive overspeed, three lines of nse are provided. These consist of:
- a. First, during normal operation turbine overspeed is precluded by the governing action of the electro-hydraulic control system by modulating the control and intercept valves. Speed sensing for this control system is provided by three magnetic pickups in conjunction with a toothed wheel on the main turbine shaft.
- b. The second line of defense against turbine overspeed is the primary overspeed trip system, utilizing the same three magnetic pickups used to provide the control system governing action.
- c. The third line of defense is provided by the emergency overspeed trip system. This is an independent electrical tripping function in which a set of three magnetic pickups, independent from the primary speed signal magnetic pickups, sense the speed of the toothed wheel on the main turbine shaft. The primary overspeed trip and emergency overspeed trip systems constitute two separate and independent means of protecting the turbine against an overspeed condition.
.4.1.1 Overspeed Protection Inherent in Normal Operating Control System er normal operation, turbine overspeed is precluded by the governing action of the trohydraulic control system. Speed sensing for this control system is provided by three netic pickups in conjunction with the toothed wheel on the main turbine shaft. The median e of the three speed signals is used for control and also for the primary overspeed protection
- c. The circuitry and software for these control signals is isolated from, and independent of, the rgency overspeed trip circuitry and software. Failure of two of the three primary speed control als results in a turbine trip.
.4.1.2 Primary Overspeed Trip turbine protective system consists of a highly reliable trip manifold assembly along with the C system software and hardware. The trip manifold assembly consists of two independent raulic circuits arranged in parallel. Each circuit includes three Emergency Trip Devices Ds) arranged hydraulically for two-out-of-three voting logic. The ETD solenoids, which are nergized to trip, can be de-energized by either the primary or emergency overspeed protection ems using independent circuits. If two ETDs in the same hydraulic circuit are de-energized, EHC fluid trip supply header is isolated and the emergency trip system header is ressurized.
28/18 10.2-3 Rev. 36
setpoint is reached, the primary trip relays de-energize all six ETDs in the trip manifold mbly, removing emergency trip system hydraulic pressure. This causes the fast closure of the n stop valves and the slower control valves which are in series in the high pressure stage ine inlet. Also, the trip system pressure removal causes the rapid closure of the intercept and at stop valves which are in series in the inlet to the low- pressure stage of the turbine.
.4.1.3 Emergency Overspeed Trip emergency overspeed trip system utilizes the emergency speed pickup signals. The median e of the three signals is compared to the emergency overspeed trip setpoint of 109.5 percent ated speed. When the setpoint is reached, the emergency trip relays de-energize all six ETDs he trip manifold assembly, thereby removing the emergency trip system hydraulic pressure and vating the fast closure of all the turbine steam valves previously mentioned.
emergency overspeed trip system magnetic pickups, I/O modules, software and processors independent from the components used for control and primary overspeed protection.
.4.1.4 Testing tability during operation is provided for both the control system and the two overspeed ection systems. The test features provide coverage of the initiating, tripping, and controlling ices.
.4.1.5 Valves o valves in series are used in the high pressure stage inlet to the turbine.
- a. Control valves are normally controlled by the redundant speed control system and (tripped) closed rapidly when pressure in the emergency trip fluid system is removed by the redundant trip valves.
The operation of each control valve, including the operating and fast closing devices, can be tested during normal operation.
- b. Main stop valves are held open by the hydraulic pressure of the emergency trip fluid system and tripped closed rapidly upon removal of the pressure.
The operation of each stop valve including its fast closing device can be tested during normal operation.
p valves of the steam-sealed design have been used on over 650 General Electric steam ines since 1948. There have been no reports of a main stop valve failing to close, when uired, to protect the turbine. Impending sticking has been disclosed by means of testing so that anned shutdown could be made to make necessary corrections. This almost always involves 28/18 10.2-4 Rev. 36
mbined stop and intercept valves are furnished to prevent the energy stored in reheaters or sture separators from accelerating the turbine generator to excessive overspeed. These two pendently operated valves are arranged in series in one valve body.
- a. The intercept valves are normally wide open but are closed by the speed control system upon a moderate speed increase and are tripped closed rapidly upon removal of the pressure in the emergency trip fluid system.
The intercept valves are also provided with a stem seal. Each intercept valve, including its fast closing devices, can be tested during normal operation.
- b. Reheat stop valves are normally open but are closed rapidly upon removal of the pressure in the emergency trip fluid system. They are also provided with a steam seal. Each reheat stop valve, including its fast closing devices, can be tested during normal operation.
s, there are two independent valves for defense against overspeed in each steam admission to the turbine. The normal speed control system modulates one of them to prevent overspeed the overspeed trip systems close both of them on a higher overspeed. All valves are testable ng operation and the fast closing feature of any valve is fully operative while the valves are g tested.
ere necessary to provide adequate overspeed protection resulting from the energy stored in action lines, positive closing nonreturn valves are fitted and actuated indirectly by the rgency trip fluid system. Station piping, heater, and check valve systems are reviewed during design stages to make sure the entrained steam cannot overspeed the unit beyond safe limits.
described design, inspection and testing features adequately preclude the possibility of a ructive overspeed condition from occurring.
2.4.2 Tests and Inspection ipment, instruments and controls are regularly inspected to ensure proper functioning of the em.
- a. Test the main stop valves and combined intermediate valves fully closed by sequence testing at the EHC control panel.
- b. Close extraction check valves, equipped with air-operated closing mechanism, part way by operating the test levers.
- c. Test the fully closed control valves by sequence testing at the EHC control panel.

moisture separator reheaters are tested periodically for tube leaks.
detectable flaw size in the rotating members of the turbine generator is several orders of nitude smaller than any critical crack which might develop from normal operation and could sibly result in a rotor failure.
.5 BULK HYDROGEN STORAGE FACILITY bulk hydrogen storage facility is located outside, on the west side of Unit 2 Turbine building.
irewall is provided between the Turbine building and the Hydrogen Storage Facility. The nders are isolated from personnel by a chain link fence. No Smoking signs and Hydrogen mmable Gas - No Open Flames signs are posted per NFPA requirements. The H2 bulk supply der is run above ground from H2 bulk storage area to the Unit 2 Turbine Building west wall.
excess flow check valve is installed on the hydrogen supply piping outside the Turbine ding. The H2 distribution headers inside Unit 2 are run as follows:
- 1. Headers are located to prevent physical damage to pipe.
28/18 10.2-6 Rev. 36
H2.
- 3. Headers are run through well-ventilated areas.
- 4. H2 piping is provided with guard pipes.
equipment supplied with H2 is the volume control tank and the main turbine generator. The owing protective measures are provided to prevent fires and explosions during operation:
- 1. Volume Control Tank During normal operation N2 and H2 are supplied to the volume control tank pressure-reducing valves at a maximum pressure of 75 psig. If a tank leak occurs there is adequate ventilation to exhaust the H2 to the atmosphere. During purging, N2 is used to purge that tank to the gaseous waste processing system.
- 2. Main Turbine Generator During normal operation, H2 at 60 psig is used to cool the turbine generator rotor.
To prevent H2 from leaking through the generator shaft seal glands into the turbine building, a shaft oil sealing system is provided. During purging of the H2 from the generator, CO2 is used to prevent fires and the mixture of H2 and CO2 is exhausted through a vent line to the outside atmosphere.

.1 DESIGN BASES
.1.1 Functional Requirements main steam system (MSS) will perform the following functions:
- a. Deliver steam from the steam generators to the turbine generator from warmup to valve wide open flow and pressure.
- b. Provide steam for turbine gland seals, steam jet air ejectors (SJAE), moisture separators reheaters, and steam generator main and auxiliary feedwater pump (AFP) turbines.
- c. Transfer heat generated by the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) to the condenser or atmosphere in the event the turbine generator is out of service.
.1.2 Design Criteria following design criteria have been used in the design of the main steam supply system:
- a. The steam line leaving each steam generator is equipped with isolation valves located outside the containment. The isolation valves are designed to function so as to isolate a steam generator in the event of a rupture of the steam piping at any point, and to maintain at least one steam generator as a heat sink to remove reactor decay and sensible heat.
- b. Each main steam line is provided with spring-loaded safety valves upstream of the isolation valves. The total relieving capacity is in excess of 100 percent steam flow at 2700 MWt rated thermal power. The safety valves discharge to the atmosphere.
- c. A steam generator AFP turbine is supplied with steam from either main steam line upstream of the isolation valves.
- d. The main steam supply system is provided with an automatically actuated steam dump system and turbine bypass to control steam pressure (hence, reactor coolant temperature) at hot standby zero load operation and to remove reactor coolant system (RCS) stored energy following a turbine trip. Atmospheric dump valves (ADV) from each steam generator are provided to limit or control secondary pressure whenever the condenser is out of service. Either steam dump system to the condenser or the atmospheric dump is capable of cooling the plant to the point of shutdown cooling manual initiation.
28/18 10.3-1 Rev. 36
withstand a Class I seismic disturbance.
- f. The main steam piping from the main steam isolation valves (MSIV) to the turbine stop valves is designed to with stand dynamic loading resulting from rapid closure of the turbine stop valves.
analysis was performed on the 34 inch Atwood and Morrill main steam isolation swing check e under the dynamic loads associated with postulated steam line breaks.
valve disc kinetic energy was calculated by determining its velocity at the time of impact with seat. The forces acting on the disc due to steam pressure were integrated with time to rmine the terminal velocity. The pressures were calculated assuming a full area break on the n steam line under maximum flow conditions. The flow conditions were evaluated at different rees of disc closure and the effects of choked flow were considered.
inner portion of the disc and the point of impact on the body casting go plastic during impact.
wever, the zones of plastic deformation at any instant of time are surrounded by a sufficient unt of material in the elastic stress range to prevent failure.
stresses were calculated using the SAAS computer program. The SAAS was a state-of-the-art gram at the time the analysis was performed. The SAAS program is a finite element code that ulates the time history of stresses due to impact on an elastic basis.
hough this analysis proved that a failure of the MSIV disc would not occur, several difications were made by Atwood and Morrill to preclude the possibility of local surface ures at the farthest point from the disc arm. The modifications consisted of increasing the ing area and a redesign of the disc from a flat configuration to a shallow spherical shell figuration.
.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
.2.1 System main steam supply system is shown in Figure 10.3-1. The main steam piping consists of two llel 34 inch OD lines and terminates at the 34 inch cross tie header which manifolds to the turbine stop valves.
h steam line has eight spring-loaded safety valves, set to sequentially discharge to the osphere. The spring-loaded safety valves have setpoints ranging from 985 psig to 1035 psig, the total relieving capacity for all valves on all of the steam lines is 12.7 x 106 lb/hr, which is percent of the total secondary steam flow of 11.8 x 106 lb/hr at 100 percent rated thermal er. See Section 4.3.2 for more details.
28/18 10.3-2 Rev. 36
5 percent of 2700 MWt rated thermal power. The turbine bypass and dump-to-condenser em consists of four automatically actuated valves which exhaust to the condenser. It has a l capacity of approximately 40 percent of the 2700 MWt rated thermal power. The system trol valves are arranged for automatic operation but can be manually operated. More details be found in Section 7.4.5.
MSIV assemblies are located outside of and adjacent to the containment building. Each sists of an air-operated trip valve adjacent to a free swinging, reverse flow check valve and a or-operated bypass valve.
h air-operated trip valve is equipped with a separate auxiliary air accumulator to assure an air ply for its operation if the normal air supply fails.
ressure switch alarms in the control room in the event of loss of air supply to the accumulator.
mechanism has a spring-assist feature which closes if there is a loss of air in the accumulators f it is vented by a solenoid pilot. The trip valve component of the assembly protects the steam erator and reactor from damage in the event a rupture occurs in the main steam line nstream of the isolation valve.
sing of the isolation valve within a maximum of six seconds after a command signal is ated prevents rapid flashing and blowdown of water stored in the shell side of the steam erator, thus avoiding a rapid uncontrolled cooldown of the RCS. As an auxiliary function, the ation valves also prevent the release of the contents of the secondary sides of both steam erators in the event of a rupture in one main steam line upstream of the valves. During normal ration these valves remain open. Low steam generator pressure or high containment pressure ses a steam generator isolation signal to energize the closing mechanism of the valves to stop steam flow through the main and bypass valves.
r pressure transmitters on each steam generator are monitored by four independent bistables.
n low pressure in either steam generator and 2-out-of-4 coincidence bistable trip signals, both operated MSIVs are closed.
omatic closure of the air-operated MSIVs via the low steam generator pressure signal can be ually blocked to permit orderly startup and shutdown of the unit (see Section 7.3). The high tainment pressure signal cannot be blocked.
4-inch line is provided from each main steam line upstream of the MSIV to feed the P turbine.
h steam supply line from the respective main steam line to the AFP turbine is equipped with a ck valve and a remote (main control room) manual motor-operated gate valve for isolation to vent the blowdown of the isolated steam generator in the event of a steam line break at the er steam generator. Each of the remote, manual, motor-operated gate valves has an upstream n line with a manual isolation valve. This valve can be opened for draining the upstream side 28/18 10.3-3 Rev. 36
mic Class I design requirements are placed on the main steam line, bypass piping, branch s to auxiliary feedwater pumps and to the atmospheric dump valves, up to and including the ation trip valve outside the containment. This includes the piping up to and including the main m safety valves, the atmospheric dump valves and the steam generators. All downstream ponents are designed to seismic Class II requirements.
.2.2 Components le 10.3-1 describes the major components of the main steam system.
.3 SYSTEM OPERATION
.3.1 Startup m produced by the steam generator is bypassed from the turbine generator to the condenser to ntain steam generator pressure and temperature at 900 psia and 532°F. Steam flow is increased ording to the turbine metal temperature-steam temperature differentials. Steam flow to the m generator feed pump (SGFP) turbines is changed from high to low pressure and the denser air removal mode changed to SJAE operation from mechanical pump operation, ording to moisture separator pressure and main steam availability, respectively.
.3.2 Normal Operation n steam is led to the turbine stop valve inlet headers from each steam generator through arate 34-inch OD main steam lines to the turbine with no steam bypassed and the generator ducing steam as required by the turbine generator. Feedwater flow is controlled by the water control valve constant differential characteristic which adjusts feedwater flow; efore, steam flow is according to steam demand.
.3.3 Emergency Condition ing a reactor-turbine trip from full power, the four (4) steam dump to condenser valves Vs) and the two (2) main steam dump to atmosphere valves (ADVs) are fully open within (4) and five (5) seconds, respectively, to avoid lifting of the safety valves. These limiting ke times include any control circuit processing time. In the event of a loss of condenser uum, the steam dump to condenser valves close automatically. The ADVs open at a preset m pressure of 920 psig to exhaust the steam generated by decay heat. The atmospheric dump acity, equivalent of 15 percent of 2700 MWt (rated thermal power), is sufficient to cool the S to 300°F when shutdown cooling is initiated. A flow equivalent to 55 percent of 2700 MWt ufficient to prevent lifting of the main steam safety valves. As the RCS approaches the tdown cooling temperature, the steam pressure also decreases and if the bypass valve capacity ot sufficient to continue the desired rate of cooldown, the operator can partially open the steam p to condenser or the ADVs to obtain the desired rate of cooldown.

nts that bound the inadvertent opening of an ADV. The inadvertent operation of these valves is kely.
uming a double-end break of an individual auxiliary steam supply line upstream of the mon header and check valve with the reactor at rated thermal power (2700 MWt),
Figure 10.3-1), the check valves will prevent one steam generator from blowing down and other steam generator will blowdown at the rate of 133 pounds per second causing the reactor er to reach 105 percent of full power. This condition will continue until the operator stops the water to the steam generator associated with the break and shuts down the plant. No itional protective action is required.
uming the line breaks in either one of the 4 inch auxiliary steam supply lines downstream of check valves or on the common header and with the reactor at 100 percent power, the steam through each of the 4 inch lines is 133 pounds per second. The reactor power will increase to percent of full power and will stay at this new steady state condition. Each steam generator continue to blowdown through the break until the operator closed the remote-manual, motor rated isolation valves in the 4 inch lines, at which time the reactor will return to its initial er level. No other protective action is required.
feeding of the steam generators using AFW combined with the dumping of steam to the ironment through the atmospheric steam dump valves may be employed to provide long-term ling during a LOCA. This would be required post-LOCA when the shutdown cooling system not be placed into operation or during simultaneous hot and cold leg injection. During a CA event, an aggressive cooldown rate is to be initiated and maintained, using the atmospheric m dump valves, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after the start of the accident and at a minimum rate of 40°F/hr, l steam removal from the steam generators becomes limited by the fully open atmospheric m dump valves.

.1.1 Design Bases purpose of the condenser is to provide a heat sink for the turbine exhaust steam, main steam p and bypass and other flows. It also deaerates and provides storage for the condensate.
main condenser is designed for the following conditions:
Condenser duty (Btu/hr) 6059 x 106 Condenser pressure (inch Hg absolute) 2.07 Circulating water temperature Inlet (°F) 60.8 Outlet (°F) 84.8 Flow (gpm) 522,500 total Heat transfer area (square feet) 485,260 total Design pressure Shell (inches Hg vacuum) 29.5 Waterbox (psig) 25 condenser is designed to accept up to 40 percent of the design main steam flow (vwo) ugh the steam dump and bypass valves while maintaining turbine back pressure below 5 es.

4.1.2 System Description ing planned operation, steam from the low pressure turbine is exhausted directly downward the condenser shells through exhaust openings in the bottom of the turbine casings. The denser consists of two sections, each section serving one double-flow, low pressure turbine ion. The condenser also serves as a heat sink for several other sources, such as exhaust steam m feed pump turbines, cascading heater drains, air ejector condenser drain, steam packing auster condenser drain, feedwater heater shell operating vents and condensate pump suction ts.
28/18 10.4-1 Rev. 36
condenser is a single-pass, single-pressure deaerating type with divided water boxes. The denser is supported on the turbine foundation mat with expansion joints provided between h turbine exhaust opening and the steam extraction connections in the condenser shells.
denser shells are connected by a pressure equalizing duct.
ration in the condenser removes normal inleakage of air plus noncondensable gases contained he turbine steam. The noncondensable gases are then collected in the air cooling section of the denser, from which they are removed by the mechanical vacuum pump at startup and by the m jet air ejectors (SJAE) during normal operation.
.1.3 Safety Evaluation condenser is designed to store a sufficient volume of condensate to provide a three minute ctive retention time of the condensate for radioactive decay in the event of tube leakage of the m generator.
.1.4 Tests and Inspection condenser is built in accordance with Heat Exchanger Institute (HEI) standards for the steam ace condensers. The water boxes shall be tested in accordance with these standards. After tion, the condenser will be filled with water to check tube and other leaks.

The condenser hotwell level is trolled by level controllers. Conductivity elements in each effluent line detect any inleakage of circulating water into the condenser steam space.
undant conductivity elements are provided, one in each condenser outlet line to detect in age of circulating water into the feedwater system. Each conductivity cell output is tinuously recorded. High conductivity will be alarmed in the Control Room.
4.2 MAIN CONDENSERS EVACUATION SYSTEM 4.2.1 Design Bases main condenser evacuation system is designed to remove a total of 80 scfm of condensable gases in accordance with HEI standards.
28/18 10.4-2 Rev. 36

n steam, reduced in pressure by an automatic steam-pressure reducing station, is supplied as driving medium to the twin element two-stage air ejectors. Air ejector condenser cooling is vided by the main condensate flow. Air inleakage and noncondensable gases are removed m the condenser and discharged to the Millstone stack which is continuously monitored for oactivity.
o full capacity mechanical vacuum pumps remove air and noncondensable gases from the denser during startup and when the desired rate of air and gas removal exceeds the capacity of air ejectors. The discharge from the vacuum pump is routed to the Millstone stack.

.4 CIRCULATING WATER SYSTEM s system is described in Section 9.7.1.
.5 CONDENSATE AND FEEDWATER SYSTEM
.5.1 Design Bases
.5.1.1 Functional Requirement function of the condensate and feedwater system is to process the condensate and provide the uired amount of feedwater to the steam generators. The condensate and feedwater system vides feedwater heating and maintains the required quality of feedwater.
auxiliary feedwater system (AFWS) is comprised of two full-capacity subsystems to satisfy safety functional requirements. One subsystem consists of two motor driven, automatically ated AFW pumps. The second subsystem consists of one turbine-driven pump.
first safety functional requirement is to provide cooling to either steam generator, on low-m generator level, with or without the loss of normal AC power along with the most limiting le failure. The arrangement of these two independent subsystems ensures that the auxiliary water system can accomplish this functional requirement.
second functional requirement is that AFW must be delivered to the steam generators ependently of AC power in the event of a station blackout scenario. The turbine-driven AFW p performs this second function.
28/18 10.4-4 Rev. 36
following criteria have been used in the design of the condensate and feedwater system:
- a. The system shall provide 110 percent of the valve wide open flow at 935 psig at the steam generator feedwater nozzles.
- b. The system shall maintain the required volume and quality of water in the cycle.
- c. The system shall process and provide a controlled path for the fluids in the cycle.
design of the feedwater piping system had been modified to ensure that the loop seals were vided in the piping as close to the steam generator feedwater inlet nozzles as possible. These difications had been provided in lieu of performing analyses using dynamic forcing functions ciated with the draining of feedwater lines to qualify the piping system design.
design of the feedwater piping has also been modified to the interface requirement for the gn associated with steam generators installed in 1991. The modified feedwater design retains water hammer mitigation designs described in the previous paragraph but accommodates the 1 steam generators lower primary deck (below the normal water level), lower feedwater ger ring, top discharge J-tubes, all welded thermal sleeve and a goose neck inlet design.
following criteria have been used in the design of the AFWS:
- a. The system shall have two redundant, independent subsystems, each capable of performing the functional requirements. The turbine-driven pump and associated piping is one subsystem. The two motor driven pumps and associated piping is the second subsystem.
- b. The 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 the system operation with onsite power (assuming offsite power is not available) or with offsite electrical power.
- d. A single failure of an active component 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 pumps, valves, piping and tanks to assure the integrity and capability of the system.
- f. The system shall be designed to the general criteria as described in Section 6.1.
28/18 10.4-5 Rev. 36
.5.2 System Description condensate and feedwater system is shown in Figure 10.4-2.
condensate pumps take condensate from the condenser hotwells and pump it through the densate polishing demineralizers and the steam packing exhauster. The flow is then split into streams. Each stream passes through an ejector condenser, an external drain cooler and sixth-fifth-stage feedwater heaters located in the condenser neck and three low pressure feedwater ters and one high pressure heater.
SGFPs are located in the cycle between the low pressure heaters and the high pressure heater.
maintain the proper feedwater chemistry a secondary chemical feed system is provided for cting hydrazine as an oxygen scavenger and ethanolamine (ETA) to control pH. The rate of mical injection is controlled to maintain chemistry within the desired limits. The point of mical injection during normal operation is in the condensate return header from the densate Polishing Facility (CPF), upstream of the bypass valve. An alternate point of ction, when the CPF is bypassed, is in the CPF discharge header downstream of the CPF ass valve and upstream of the steam jet air ejectors.
dwater regulating and control is described in Section 7.4.
.5.3 Auxiliary Feedwater System AFWS, shown in Figure 10.4-2, is designed to provide feedwater for the removal of sensible decay heat, and to cool the primary system to 300°F in case the main condensate and SGFP inoperative due to loss of normal electric power sources or the main steam. A single motor-en pump is capable of adequately removing decay heat. This has been demonstrated by a best mate analysis of the loss of feedwater event (Reference 10.4-1). The best estimate analysis is ormed to demonstrate the automatic start of both motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps on steam generator level satisfies the automatic auxiliary feedwater initiation requirements of REG-0737 item II.E.1.2. Automatic start of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump is not uired. The suction condition yields a net positive suction head (NPSH) in excess of that uired. The AFWS may also be used for normal system cooldown to 300°F. The AFWS plies feedwater from the condensate storage tank (CST) to the steam generators for poration and heat absorption. Reactor decay heat and sensible heat are transferred to the steam erators by natural circulation of the reactor coolant if power is not available for the reactor lant pumps (RCP).
rder to perform its safety-related function (per Section 14.2.7) assuming single failure, the iliary feedwater system (AFWS) is comprised of two full capacity subsystems. One subsystem sists of two motor driven AFW pumps, that are automatically connected to the diesel erators in the event of a loss of offsite power. The second subsystem consists of one turbine-en pump that is independent of AC power and may be started by operator action. The turbine-28/18 10.4-6 Rev. 36
two motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps (AFP) received their power from redundant ility 1E 4160VAC breakers. The 4160 VAC breakers receive control power from redundant VDC feeds, Facility Z1 125 VDC panel DV10 and Facility Z2 125 VDC panel DV20. The ed adjuster motor and the steam inlet valve for the turbine-driven AFP normally receive their er from Facility Z2 125 VDC panel DV20. During design basis accidents coincident with a le failure that could disable one motor driven AFP and the turbine-driven AFP ultaneously, the steam inlet valve and the speed adjuster motor are capable of being sferred to Facility Z1 125 VDC panel DV10. In the event of a loss of Facility Z2 125 or a loss DC panel DV20, the transfer is accomplished by switching the position of two key-locked ation switches on panel C-05. The associated wiring from panel C-05 is routed in dedicated Z5 duit to panel C-21, panel C-10 and ultimately to the steam inlet valve and the speed adjuster or.
auxiliary feedwater pumps (AFP) are located in two separate pump rooms at elevation 1 foot ches in the Turbine Building. The Turbine Building is protected from potential flooding by the d wall system as shown in Figure 2.5-18 of the FSAR. Access to the first room which houses two motor driven AFPs is by stairs leading down from the ground floor at elevation 14 feet 6 es. The enclosure over the pump room stairwell serves as a protective barrier against direct er streams into the Pump Room due to a possible overhead pipe failure. The second room ch houses the turbine-driven AFP is a vault physically separated from the motor driven AFP m by a reinforced concrete wall. The only access means to this room is through a water-tight door.
arate floor drain and sump systems are provided for each pump room. A high-level alarm em which is monitored in the Control Room for each sump will indicate excessive flooding in room. The power supply to the sump pump in the motor driven AFP room and to the B sump p in the steam-driven AFP room is fed from vital power supply, MCC B61.
ectly above each pump and on the ground floor of the Turbine Building is a removable hatch iced by a monorail and hoist system for equipment removal and emergency access. The AFP piping in both rooms are Seismic Class I.
AFPs can each be connected to a separate diesel generator by means of a separate control tch located on the main control board with the capability to manually start each pump from the trol room.
CST capacity is 250,000 gallons. A nitrogen blanketing system is utilized to limit oxygen usion into the stored condensate inventory. A nitrogen sparger system is available to lower the gen concentration in the tank. A redundant relief protection scheme, including both breather es and rupture disks, is provided to prevent an over-pressure or vacuum situation. At rational low level, the volume of water available for decay heat removal and cooldown of the lear steam supply system (NSSS) is 165,000 gallons. This is sufficient to cool down the RCS ess than 300°F following a total loss of offsite power. The 165,000 gallons are also adequate to 28/18 10.4-7 Rev. 36
ons includes unusable tank volume due to discharge nozzle pipe elevation above tank bottom, an allowance for vortex formation. CST is equipped with a recirculation heating system to vent freezing within the tank during cold weather. The heating system includes a recirculation that takes suction inside and near the bottom of the tank, penetrates the tank above the crete protected region, is pumped through a heat exchanger and returns to the top of the tank.
suction line inside the tank is provided with a siphon breaker to prevent siphoning of the tank owing a postulated pipe break. The siphon breaker is located at a height that will protect the imum required tank water level to assure suction for the CST heating system, and to minimize nage following a postulated pipe rupture.
CST is missile protected by a concrete wall extending to a height which will provide quate water for a safe shutdown. The exposed portion of the steel tank is designed to withstand tornado wind pressure as described in Section 5.7.3.1.4 of the FSAR. Failure in the upper ion of the tank due to missile impact will be local and since the tank is fabricated of ductile l, any fragmentation is unlikely. However, to ensure proper water flow from the tank in the nt of a postulated free falling fragment of steel, the tank discharges are protected by screens ch will prevent blockage.
portion of the steel liner which is protected by the concrete wall could be damaged locally by issile entering through the upper portion of the tank. In the event of local damage to the steel wall below the top of the exterior concrete wall, significant water loss is not possible as the l shell is anchored to the concrete with vertical angles having a spacing of 24 inches. Any or water leakage will be confined to the interface between the steel and concrete.
concrete wall, which extends to a height of 25 feet, ensures that a minimum of 205,800 ons of water is available for a safe shutdown of the plant. The concrete wall extends above the rational low-water level corresponding to 165,000 gallons.
steam generated during decay heat removal and cooldown during an electric power failure be discharged by the atmospheric dump valves (ADV), except for that used by the turbine-en AFP. The turbine-driven pump operates reliably as long as there is steam pressure in excess 0 PSIG in one of the steam generators.
three AFPs are individually controlled from Control Room Panel CO-5 or from the Hot tdown Panel C-21 in the Turbine Building. In addition, the steam-driven AFP can also be trolled from the fire shutdown panel C-10 in the Turbine Building. The electric-driven pumps be either automatically actuated or manually actuated. The steam-driven AFP can only be ually actuated. In the event of a loss of Facility Z2 125 VDC power or a loss of panel DV20, steam-driven AFP speed adjuster motor and steam inlet valve can be swapped to Facility Z1 VDC power by switching two key-locked isolation switches on panel C-05.
automatic actuation, each pump and its associated flow control valve have two switches on h panel. The first switch, the automatic permissive, either allows or blocks the automatic start he respective pump. This auto permissive switch has three positions:
28/18 10.4-8 Rev. 36
Reset, which resets the automatic function.
Start, which will start the electric AFPs and open the flow control valves.
second switch selects the mode of operation of the flow control valve associated with the p.
three modes of selection are:
Normal, which allows the valve to open fully for an automatic actuation.
Override, which allows manual control of the valve position following an automatic actuation.
Reset, which resets the electrical logic for returning the mode of operations back to normal.
o actuation of the electric-driven pumps and the auxiliary feedwater regulating valves occurs n 3 minutes, 25 seconds have elapsed since the steam generator levels dropped to 26.8 ent.
anual bypass valve is provided around each air-operated AFW regulating valve, 2-FW-43A 2-FW-43B, in the auxiliary feedwater (AF) line to each steam generator to ensure the ilability of feedwater for decay heat removal should either one of the regulator valves fail in closed position. To meet the functional requirement of providing AFW to either or both steam erators with a limiting single failure, a normally open motor-operated cross-tie valve is vided between the AF regulating valves.
ddition, the AFW regulating valves, 2-FW-43A and 2-FW-43B, are equipped with a backup supply to provide valve closure and valve control in the event of loss of the Instrument Air tem. The backup air supply is provided by high pressure air cylinders. The system is designed perate in a harsh environment caused by the beyond design basis event of a feedwater line ak inside the turbine building coincident with a failure of the main feedwater check valve W-5A or 2-FW-5B). The Instrument Air system is non-safety related. The backup air supply afety related.
AFW regulating valves receive an AFAIS signal to open upon low level in either steam erator to ensure feedwater flow following a loss of normal feedwater. These valves are also gned to fail open upon a loss of air or electric power. Following a MSLB or HELB, AFW to affected steam generator is isolated. The AFW regulating valves can be closed by the backup supply for a MSLB inside Containment or outside Containment upstream of the Main Steam ation Valve (MSIV). For HELBs inside the Turbine Building, the AFW regulating valves are n and the cross-tie motor-operated valve (MOV) is environmentally qualified to close to ate the affected steam generator. Depending on which steam generator is affected, the motor 28/18 10.4-9 Rev. 36
W regulating valve 2-FW-43B to fail open and the MOV cross-tie valve to fail as-is, the cted steam generator will be isolated by local operator action following a MSLB.
auxiliary feedwater system can be used to provide long term cooling in the event of a LOCA onjunction with the dumping of steam. The AFW pumps would initially take a suction on the densate storage tank. If in the long term the CST becomes depleted and cannot be replenished normal makeup, the operators can connect the fire water system and its two, 250,000 gallon age tanks to the AFW pump suctions. The fire water storage tanks can be replenished from the water supply if necessary. See Section 14.6.5.3 for a description of long term cooling in the nt of a LOCA.
AFW system contains suction and discharge connections that facilitate portable diesel engine en AFW pump deployment and CST replenishment. These conditions are defense-in-depth gn features that are available for coping with an extended loss of AC power (ELAP) event.

h SGFP is a horizontal turbine-driven centrifugal unit. Two 55 percent capacity pumps operate eries with the condensate pumps. Recirculation control valves are provided in the pump harge lines to provide automatic recirculation of a portion of the feedwater flow to the main denser. This assures that a minimum safe flow is maintained through the pumps. Table 10.4-1 the characteristics.
.5.4.5 Steam Generator Feed Pump Turbine Drives h feedwater pump is driven by an individual steam turbine. The turbine drives are of the dual ission type and are equipped with stop and control valves. Under normal operating ditions, the turbine drives run on the low pressure crossover steam. Main steam is used during t startup, low load or transient conditions when crossover steam is not available or is of fficient pressure. The turbines operate at 2.5 inches Hg absolute back pressure and exhaust to main condenser.
.5.4.6 Condensate Polishing Facility en in use, the Condensate Polishing Facility (CPF) receives condensate from the condenser well after it passes through the Steam Packing Exhauster. After processing, condensate is rned at the air ejectors. The CPF consists of seven parallel flow demineralizers. Full densate flow can be accommodated by six demineralizers allowing for regeneration of the enth without reducing power. The CPF can be completely bypassed. The CPF is used to ntain the secondary system water chemistry within the limits of plant procedures.

plant can carry 55 percent load with one-half of the feedwater heaters out of service and ated from the system, with only one condensate pump in operation and with only one SGFP in ice.
components of AFWS are designed to the general requirements including seismic response as cribed in Section 6.1. The components are protected from missile damage and pipe whip by sical separation of duplicate equipment as described in Section 6.1. The pumps are completely undant. Each subsystem is capable of providing the required amount of feedwater for orming the cold shutdown of the RCS.
total inventory of the condensate and feedwater system is approximately 209,000 gallons ded between the components as follows:
- 1. Condenser (shell) = 80,100 gallons 28/18 10.4-11 Rev. 36
- 3. Moisture Separator/Reheater and Drain Tanks = 3,200 gallons
- 4. Feedwater Heaters = 37,000 gallons
- 5. Steam Generator = 33,200 gallons maximum flowrate to each steam generator is approximately 14,100 gpm during normal plant ration.
potential for failures in the condensate and feedwater system are minimized by designing the ng for pressures well above any pressures possible in the system, with the low pressure ters designed for the maximum shut-off head of the condensate pumps and the high pressure ters designed for the SGFP shut-off head, see FSAR Section 10.4.5 and Table 10.4-1.
ures in the condensate system can be readily detected by equipment performance alarms in the trol Room indicating the malfunction to the operator. The type of alarm depends on the erity and location of the failure and allows the operator the option of either isolating the failed ponent and reducing load or complete shutdown of the plant. However, as with any gross ure in this system, the alarms on the steam generator would ultimately indicate decreased flow, of pressure and low liquid level resulting in a possible reactor trip by the reactor protection em (RPS). The type of alarms are dependent on the location of the pipe rupture or equipment ure and are summarized below:
- 1. Failures in the system between the condenser and the condensate pumps would result in gradual flooding of the condenser pit setting off the condenser pit sump high-level alarm, set at 6 inches below the top of the sump. If the condenser hotwell level continues to decrease, a low level alarm is registered in the Control Room.
- 2. Failures in the equipment or piping between the condensate pumps and the SGFPs would result in low condensate pump discharge pressure and low SGFP suction pressure alarms in the Control Room. In addition, the steam generator would register the alarms indicated previously (i.e., low flow, pressure and liquid level).
- 3. Failures in the equipment or piping between the SGFP discharge and the feedwater containment isolation valves would result in a low pressure alarm indicated in the feedwater header and low-level alarms for the steam generator.
- 4. Failures in the piping between the containment isolation valves and the steam generator would be indicated by the low flow, pressure and water level alarms in the steam generator.
entire system can be brought to rest, with the termination of all flow, within several seconds m the time the condensate and SGFPs are tripped. Static head would be the only driving force 28/18 10.4-12 Rev. 36
ts in the floor would drain the water to the condenser pit sumps and prevent any accumulation he ground floor. Feedwater piping in the Enclosure Building is either routed through areas d of essential equipment or provided with restraints in other areas as required so that any ures occurring do not affect safe operation of the plant. Therefore, any postulated failures in condensate and feedwater system can be detected and controlled quickly, and in no way affect operation of essential equipment.
ncrease the original design basis safety margin for a main stream line break (MSLB) inside tainment, the MSI signal was modified to actuate on either high containment pressure or low m generator pressure. The modified MSI signal provides a more rapid isolation signal for water and main steam isolation during a steam line break within containment. Also, the water block valves, feedpump discharge valves, feedwater regulating and bypass valves as l as the feed pumps are provided with redundant MSI trip and closure signals for ensuring water isolation.
4.5.6 Tests and Inspection ipment, instruments, and controls are regularly inspected to ensure proper functioning of ems. The motor driven pumps and controls are given preoperational tests after erection and ore plant warmup.
AFWS can be tested during normal operation by recirculating an AFP flow of 50 gpm to the
.6 STEAM GENERATOR BLOWDOWN SYSTEM
.6.1 Design Bases function of the steam generator blowdown system (SGBS) is to withdraw and reject the em fluid at a rate which will maintain contaminate concentrations in the steam generator er below equipment operating limits. The system has three modes of operation: sampling wdown: condenser leakage: and startup blowdown.
.6.2 System Description SGBS is shown in Figure 10.3-1. Blowdown and quench tanks are provided. The blowdown has a capacity of two percent of the vwo main steam flow and is used during startup and n condenser tube leakage occurs. The quench tank has a blowdown capacity of 10 gpm and normally be in service at all times when the blowdown tank is not in service.
e sheet blowdown nozzles are provided on each steam generator. The blowdown tank vents to atmosphere and the quench tank vents to the gas processing system. Normally, both drain to condenser cooling water discharge. The quench tank is provided with a closed recirculating p and cooler cycle for quench water supply.

adioactivity monitor is located in the combined sampling line from both steam generator wdown lines. When a high radioactivity level is detected, an alarm is annunciated in the trol Room and the blowdown stop and drain valves are closed automatically. The blowdown em residual inventory is manually diverted to the Aerated Liquid radioactive waste system.
10 gpm quench tank blowdown may be resumed; if so, the blowdown liquid is diverted to the an Liquid radioactive waste system.
.6.3 Safety Evaluation ure analysis of system components is given on Table 10.4-2.
.6.4 Tests and Inspection steam generator blowdown tank and quench tank are designed in accordance with ASME tion VIII and seismic Class II requirements. The performance of the blowdown system is rtained by an inplace test.
