APP-GW-GLY-174, Rev. 0 Page 5 of 19 Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 © 2019 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Background

  • Tier 1 Table 2.2.5-4 provides heat load constraints of the main control room (MCR) and surrounding equipment rooms containing safety-related equipment

- Used to ensure the MCR remains within limits for reliable human performance for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after Main Control Room Emergency Habitability System (VES) actuation

- The rooms surrounding the MCR contain PMS and Class 1E (IDS) equipment

- Information also included in Tier 2 Table 6.4-3

  • VES is designed to passively cool the I&C and DC equipment rooms in an accident to ensure that safety related equipment remains functional

- This requires maintaining the room temperature below the equipment qualification (EQ) temperature limit of 120°F 4

      • This record was final approved on 5/16/2019 9:10:40 AM. (This statement was added by the PRIME system upon its validation)

APP-GW-GLY-174, Rev. 0 Page 6 of 19 Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 © 2019 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Reason for Change

  • Heat loads in the CLB were based on information available at certification prior to final placement of equipment and prior to detailed design on electrical component specifications

- Reconciliation using detailed design inputs requires updates to heat loads specified in the licensing basis Reconciled heat loads require updates to Tier 1 Table 2.2.5-4 & Tier 2 Table 6.4-3 5

      • This record was final approved on 5/16/2019 9:10:40 AM. (This statement was added by the PRIME system upon its validation)

APP-GW-GLY-174, Rev. 0 Page 7 of 19 Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 © 2019 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Proposed Change and Supporting Analysis

  • The proposed change is to revise the heat loads in the licensing basis to reflect the heat load summary used in the GOTHIC heat-up analysis of the 8 I&C/DC rooms due to a design basis accident (DBA) loss of AC power event

- Rooms 12201, 12203, 12205, 12207, 12301, 12302, 12304, and 12305

- Analyses use a conservative, initial air temperature consistent with Tech Spec Bases 3.7.6 (85°F)

  • WEC LAR-82 (VEGP LAR 17-001) added Tech Spec Bases (3.7.6) maximum operating temperature limit of 85ºF to the 8 rooms credited as passive heat sinks for MCR heatup

- Finalized heat load inputs based on detailed design values; including confirmation of heat load timing 6

Basis for 24 Hour Heat Load Reduction

  • For non-LOCA events, safety-related core cooling is provided by natural circulation through the passive residual heat removal (PRHR) heat exchanger (HX) and core makeup tanks (CMTs)

- PRHR HX transfers heat from the reactor coolant system (RCS) to the in-containment refueling water storage tank (IRWST)

- Safe shutdown conditions can be maintained for greater than 14 days with closed loop cooling provided by the PRHR HX

  • The plant can be maintained in this condition for more than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> without AC power under DBA conditions

- If AC power is unavailable, ADS-4 will automatically actuate at 22 hours2.546296e-4 days <br />0.00611 hours <br />3.637566e-5 weeks <br />8.371e-6 months <br /> (PMS timer) to ensure the plant is in a safe condition (open loop cooling) before the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> batteries are exhausted 8

APP-GW-GLY-174, Rev. 0 Page 10 of 19 Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 © 2019 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Basis for 24 Hour Heat Load Reduction

  • However, if the plant and RCS conditions are safe and stable (effective decay heat removal and water inventory), the operators are instructed to de-energize the PMS at the Class-1E 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> IDS batteries

- Prevents unnecessary ADS actuation

- Preserves battery capacity if ADS is required later

  • Thus, for a loss of AC scenario, it is expected that ADS-4 actuation will not be required and the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> batteries (and thus PMS cabinets) are disconnected before the 22 hour2.546296e-4 days <br />0.00611 hours <br />3.637566e-5 weeks <br />8.371e-6 months <br /> timer

- Results in a major reduction in heat loads from the PMS cabinets

  • In the event that ADS actuation is allowed to occur, procedures will instruct operators to take actions to reduce/maintain temperature in these compartments, including powering down 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> IDS batteries PMS heat loads will be reduced at or before 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for Loss of AC event 9

APP-GW-GLY-174, Rev. 0 Page 13 of 19 Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 © 2019 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Background

  • Loss of Ventilation without loss of AC power is an abnormal condition specified in 3D.5.2.2

- Section 3.11.3 of the UFSAR notes that loss of ventilation events will not challenge safety related equipment for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />

  • Heat load profiles for a loss of ventilation without loss of AC power is more limiting due to non-safety heat loads remaining in service in addition to safety related heat loads
  • Licensing basis states that recovery actions occur within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, but only mentions recovery of HVAC systems and not any compensatory actions (e.g., opening doors, using portable equipment) 12

Abnormal Events Background

  • Abnormal events are an aging mechanism considered in the AP1000 plant for some EQ programs
  • No identified regulatory basis for considering abnormal events in an EQ program

- Intended to add additional margin to the equipment

  • These events are not design basis accidents and are not subject to the same conservative methodologies and requirements used in the development of accident environments for EQ

- UFSAR Section 3D.5.2 Abnormal Operating Conditions

  • plant service abnormalities that lead to short-term changes in environments.
  • Best estimate analyses of AP1000 plant behavior are used to determine abnormal environmental conditions. Plant recovery occurs after each event with varying degrees of time and maintenance efforts.

Problem and Proposed Solution

  • Problem

- Description of loss of ventilation without loss of AC event is not adequately defined in licensing basis

  • With no actions taken, rooms may exceed EQ limit within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />
  • Abnormal event equipment qualification assumes multiple 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> loss of ventilation events over the course of plant life
  • Solution

- Update analysis and CLB to credit opening doors to affected rooms at 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> after event initiation

  • Preliminary analyses illustrate this to be sufficient to slow heat-up rate of affected rooms to remain below EQ limit for up to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />
  • Analyses will be completed before LAR submittal 14

Change 2 - ADS Stages 2&3 Max Stroke Times and Effective Flow Areas Updates

  • ADS Stages 2&3 valves are important to the UFSAR Chapter 15 safety analysis to allow the RCS to depressurize sufficiently for ADS Stage 4 actuation and subsequent IRWST injection

- SBLOCA analyses model a minimum ADS flow area along with a maximum stroke time

  • LBLOCA and LOCA containment analyses do not model ADS Stages 2&3 valves

- No impact on these analyses

  • Non-LOCA inadvertent ADS/RCS depressurization analysis is limited by a larger effective flow area (max valve area) and a minimum stroke time

- No impact on non-LOCA analyses 10

Change 2 - ADS Stages 2&3 Max Stroke Times and Effective Flow Areas Updates (cont.)

  • Current effective flow area calculated with equations applicable for liquid service (i.e., incompressible fluid)

- These valves are to be installed in the steam space of the pressurizer and will see either subcooled liquid (which flashes to a two-phase mixture) or saturated steam (i.e., compressible flow)

  • New testing has been performed to determine the effective flow area with compressible flow

- Testing performed in accordance with ANSI/ISA-75.02.01-2008 for compressible flow 11

Change 2 - ADS Stages 2&3 Max Stroke Times and Effective Flow Areas Updates (cont.)

  • Test data shows an effective flow area of ~18.5 in2 at 100%

of the valve stroke

- This is below the current minimum effective flow are of 19 in2

  • Change proposes to reduce the minimum valve effective flow area to 16 in2

- 16 in2 is based on effective flow area at an intermediate stroke length with additional margin as the valves are required to be short-stroked to address the faster opening

  • Change proposes to increase the maximum stroke time from 100 seconds to 120 seconds

- Increase in maximum stroke time allows for a larger effective flow area, which is a benefit for depressurization 12

Change 4 - CMT TS Minimum Volume Updates

  • VEGP Units 3&4 TS SR 3.5.2.2 requires borated water volume in each CMT be at least 2487 ft3
  • Based on as-built CMT dimensions, tank level associated with this volume correlates to approximately 99% of wide range level instrumentation span
  • Satisfying TS SR 3.5.2.2 would require instrument uncertainty & error to be less than 1% of span such that indicated level of 100% cannot be less than 99% measured tank level

- Based on uncertainty calculations, achieving this level of accuracy is not practical

  • Change to VEGP Units 3&4 TS proposed to resolve issue 22

Change 4 - CMT TS Minimum Volume Updates (cont.)

- Proposes addition of two new TS SRs:

  • New SR 3.5.3.3 to verify OPERABLE CMT borated water volume 2487 ft3 (when in Mode 4 with RCS cooling provided by RNS and in Mode 5 with RCS not vented excluding vacuum refill operations)
  • New SR 3.5.3.4 to verify OPERABLE CMT borated water volume 2450 ft3 (Mode 5 with RCS not vented during vacuum refill operations) 23

Change 4 - CMT TS Minimum Volume Updates (cont.)

  • High point gas vent alarm can be used to confirm CMT level from Mode 1 through Mode 4 (or Mode 5 RCS not vented excluding during vacuum refill operations)

- CMT can be confirmed to be full with the high point vent instrumentation at all times except for when the CMT inlet pipe is voided during Mode 5 vacuum refill operations

  • For Mode 5 with RCS not vented during vacuum refill operations, safety analyses (Loss of RNS in Chapter 19E) does not credit CMT injection even though one CMT is required to be operable

- New TS SR 3.5.3.4 that requires a volume of 2450 ft3 is conservative and measurable with the WR level instrumentation with uncertainty and error 24

Change 4 - CMT TS Minimum Volume Updates (cont.)

  • Change also updates TS LCO 3.5.2, Condition D to account for when one CMT with borated water volume is not within the required limit

- The Condition D Completion Time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is retained to reduce the urgency for entering containment to vent gas from the top of the CMTs when TS SR 3.5.2.2 is not met

  • Current TS LCO 3.5.2 would require entry into Condition E with an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Completion Time

- This is acceptable because completion of Required Action D.1 within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to restore CMT inlet line noncondensible gas volume to within the limit is also sufficient to resolve the condition when one CMT with borated water volume is not within the limit per SR 3.5.2.2, thus exiting LCO 3.5.2 Condition D 25
