t 86-1102525-00 l.0 INTRODUCTION For the purposes of this report, an anticipatory trip is defined as a trip functicn that would sense the start of a loss of OTSG h at sink and actuate much earlier than presently installed reactor trip signals. Possible anticipatory trip signals indicative of changer in OTSG heat removal are: turbine trip, loss of main feedwater, low steam generator level, and low pressurizer level. This report evaluates the effectiveness of anticipatory trips compared to the axisting high RC pressure trip for a LOFW. Qualitative and quantitative arguments are presented waich support elimination of the level trips in the pressurizer and steam generators from final design considerations of anticipatory trips. Functional response is presented in terms of a parametric study of time to trip. Thus, irrespece.ive of the plant specific trip signale and actuat *on time, the hardware design can proceed with greater flexibility. That is, by presentfng system parameters, such as pressurizer fill time, as a function cf time to trip, then if one plant's turbine trip signal occurs 2.1 secs after initiation of the event and another plant's trip signal occurs at 2.5 secs, this study will still be applicable to both. Some of the results presented in this report have already veen sub-mitted to the NRC in Reference 1, the balance of the informat'an will b2 submitted by May 21, 1979. The analyses are performed with the revised setpoints, i.e., high RC pressure trip at 2300 psig and PORV setpoint at 2450 psig. It is shown that anticipatory trips provide additional margin between the peak RC pressure af ter the reactor trip and _ the PORV setpoint, but provide little additional margin in the longer term re-pressurization to the PORV setpoint with continued delay of auxiliary feedwater initiation. }}[h ))h

36-1102525-00 2.0 ASSESSMENT OF POSSIBLE ANTICIPATORf TRIPS in accordence with Directive 79-05B, an evaluation for design basis for anticipatory trips on turbine trip, loss of main feedwater, and low steam generator level has been completed. One of the trip functions investigate 6 was determined not to be anticipatory as discussed below: Low steam generator level has not been recommended as an anticipatory trip function. Figure 2-1 shows the OTSG start-up level from site data and the CADDS calculated OTSG mass inventory as functions of time following the TMI-2 event. The time of reactor trip on high RC pressure is noted on the figure and clearly demonstrates that a steam generator level trip would not have been anticipatory for a level setpoint that would not interfere with normal operations and maneuvers. The initial rapid fall in OTSG' level occurs as the turbine stop valves close, momentarily stopping steam flow out of the generators. The mass inventory increases during this period due to the loss of flow friction AP. By the time the reactor trip occurs, at 8 seconds, steam flow is re-established through the bypass syste=, flow friction dF re-estab-11shes the level and both mass and measured level start to decrease uniformly. An OTSG level trip set to trip on the initial drop shown in Figure 2-1 would need to be set restrictively high for normal plant maneuvers and/or lower power levels.

                                                                    )}fh ]2!

86-1102525-00 Further ' level information (in terms of mass inventoryi ts given in the figures for the analysis in Section 3.0. The results Lur thoce cases also indicate that the steam generator low level trip function would not be suff Siently fast to be considered anticipatory. Anticipatory trips for loss of feedvater and turbine trip can be designed to trip the reactor in a more expedient manner than the high RC pressure trip for some overheating transients. An anticipatory trip will provide more margin to PORV setpoint during the initial overpressurization retulting from loss of feedwater and/or turbine trip. These trips will provide slightly more time to PORV setpoint and pressurizer f ll for delayed auxiliary feedwater initia-tion conditions. I178 J28

(t j 3.0 FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS P L a.i ( u w .. A series of LOFW evaluations was performed at 100% full power (2772 MWt) with a reactor ; rip assumed on an anticipatory signal. With the new high RC pressure setpoint of 2300 psig, a reactor trip would be expected at about 8 seconds after the LOFW. The anticipatory trip study considered reactor trips with 0.4 sec,2.5 sec, and 5 sec delays from time zero. These studies also in-cluded sensitivities to AFW failure and reactor coolant pump coastdown. The anticipatory trip study modeled a generic 177 FA plant, and is con-sidered applicable to raised or lowered loop designs. A feedwater coastdown similar to that estimated to have occurred at the March 28th TMI-2 event was used to generate separate heat demands for each CADDS analysis. The heat demands will change as the reactor trip time is delayed, because the additional heat input will boil of f the fixed steam generator inventory at dif ferent rates. For the casez vhere AFW flow was modeled,1000 gpm was assumed, starting at 40 seconds. With proper steam generator level and pressure control, the system parameters will begin to stabilize at 195-290 seconds, depending on trip delay time and RCP operation; see Table 3-1 and Figure 3-12. The PORV will not be actuated, nor would the pressurizer fill or empty. 1178 230 With the assumption of no AFW, the PORV will be actuated about three minutes into the event, as a result of system swell; the pressurizer fills as 10-12 minutes (see Table 3-1). A delay of reactor trip of 2-3 seconds is seen to reduce PORV time to actuate by about one minute, and pressurizer fill by about 2 minutes For PORV setpoints other than 2450 psig, the times will vary and can be determined from Figures 3-3, 3-4, 3-8, and 3-10. In each of these cases, the mass addition and cooling effect of expected make-up system operation is not modeled. One make-up pump running will add about 10 inches per minute to pressurizer level, and %1/2% heat demand. It should be noted that the May 7 report used a heat demand which reproduced the TMI-2 LOFW event; it has been reported by the operator that two make-up pumps were running from 13 see into the event, creating a higher heat demand than i

. 86-1102525-00 the anticipatory trip studies of the report assume. This it, shown in Figure 3-12. The steam generator heat demands, reactor power, RC system pressure, pressurizer level, and RC inlet / outlet temperatures are given in Figures 3-1 through 3-5 for the trip at time zero case and Figures 3-7 through 3-11 tor the trip on high RC pressure (t=8 secs) case. The effects of delayed auxiliary feedwater initiation are also shown on the high RC pressure trip Curves. 1178 )31

4.0 CONCLUSION

S AND SINMARY A spectrum of delay times, representing anticipatory trips, has been analyzed for the loss of feedwater 1.-- sient. The spectrum included trips at time zero, with a 0.4 second instrument delay, up to high RC pressure trip at time 8.0 seconds. Since a high RC pressure trip occurs very soon after a loss of heat sink (overpressurization) transient from 100% FP, only turbine trip and direct loss of feedwater detection trips would be considered Anticipatory. For all tripo considered, including high RC pressure, the PORV is not actuated when normal system operations occur. The pressure rise in the primary side is less for the anticipatory trips providing additional margin to FORV lift. If auxiliary feedvater is significantly delayed, then an anticipatory trip will, at best, proviJe about 1 minute add.itional time to PORV lift and about 3 minutes additional time to filling of the pressurizer. These results can be seen in Table 4-1 which shows the sequence of events for a LOFW transient with trip on high RC pressure (2300 psig) and trip at time zero. I178 J45

86-1102525-00 APPENDIX A LOSS OF ONE FEEDWATER PUMP A special analysis was perforned at the B&W Owner's Group request. This analysis considered the loss of one main feedwater pump with the plant operating at 100% FP, RC pumps running, no power runback or auxiliary feedwater initiation and a RC high pressure trip setprint at 2300 psig. The base parameters for this study are the same as those used in the " realistic" analysis presented in Section 4.2 of the May 7, 1979, B&W Report for 177 FA plants. The objectives of this study were two-fold:

1) Determine if the PORV will lift under a loss of one feedwater pump situation, and,
2) Determine if the OTSG 1evel would be a viable anticipatory trip, i.e., how rapidly does the steam generator inventory decrease in relation to the time a high RC pressure trip would occur.

RC system pressure and pressurizer level as functions of time are shown in Figures A-2 and A-3, respectively. Reactor trip occurs on high pressure (2300 psig) in 15.8 seconds af ter the loss of one main feedwater pump. Figure A-4 shows the steam generator mass as a function of time and only 30% of the mass is boiled off by the time the reactor trip occurs. This is insufficient inventory decrease to cause a level trip in an anticipatory mode. Figure A-2 shows that no PORV actuation results from this transient. 1178 ]41B
