Q'uestion 2B:

Provide the reactor coolant system response to a stuck open PORV for the case of a small break which causes the reactor coolant system to pressurize to the PORV setpoint.

Response

The resultant system response for a case of a small break which causes the reactor coolant system to pressurize to the PORV setpoint and result in a stuck open PORV can be qualitatively assessed based on previous analyses and is provided below.

As is demonstrated the small break operating guidelines which have been developed are adequate for control of this transient.

Numerous small break calculations have been performed for the operating 177 FA plants.

These calculations are provided in References 1 through 6.

As is demonstrated by these studies, small, break is possible repressurization to the PORV following a only if the break is extremely small ( < 0. 01 ft") and if there is no feedwatet available to the steam generators.

The system response of a very small break (< 0. 01 ft2) with a concurrent loss of all feedwater is presented in Reference 5.

The system will initially undergo a subcooled depressurization.

During this period of the transient, the reactor trips, the pressurizer drains, and the initial SG inventory boils off.

For these smaller sized breaks (<0.01 ft 2), the SG initial. inventory boils off prior to system depressurization to the ESFAS signal.

Following the loss of the SG heat sink, the fluid in the RCS increases in temperature and becomes saturated.

Since the volumetric flowrate out the break, following the establishment of saturation conditions in the RCS, is less than the volumetric steam production caused by decay heat removal, the RCS repressurizes and the pressurizer starts to refill.

Thus, for these breaks, no ECCS equipment is automatically-actuated prior to system repressurization.

System repressurization would continue until the PORV setpoint is reached if no operator action is taken to prevent it.

The earliest ft} break.

time that the PORV setpoint would be reached is 4 minutes, for a zero break case and 8 20 minutes for the 0.01 It should be noted that actuation of the AFW system prior to these times would prevent opening of the PORV.

While analysis of this break combination has not presently been performed, the present operator. guidelines for small breaks were cons'tructed to mitigate the consequences of such an event.

The operator is instructed to re-escablish feedwater to the SG as soon as possible if AFW is not automatically initiated.

Also, the guidelines require manual initiation of the HPI system upon loss of the SG heat sink.

Should feedwater continue to remain unavailable and the primary system pressure starts to increase, the operator is instructed to open the PORV and leave it open in order to maintain the ECS pressure as low as possible and maximize the

6 346

ECCS. flows.

These operator guidelines thus assure maximum utilization of the ECCS and will minimize the consequences of a small break which repressurizes the RCS.

Question 3 - Noncondensible Gases Regarding the presence of noncondensible gases within the reactor coolant system following a small break LOCA:

A.

Provide the sources of noncondensible gases in the primary system.

B.

Discuss the effect of noncondensible gases on:

(1) condensation Seat transfer, (2) system pressure calculations and (3) natural circulation flow.

C.

Describe any operator actions and/or emergency procedures necessary to preclude introduction of sinnificant quantities of noncondensible gases into the primary system.

D.

Describe operator actions to be taken in the event of a significant accumulation of noncondensible gases in the primary system.

Response

A Sources of Noncondensible can n.in the Primary System Table 1 lists the potential sources and amounts of nonconden-sible gases for a 177 fuel assembly plant.

However, most of these gases would not be released for small break transients.

Appendix K evaluations performed for the 177FA plants demon-strate that cladding temperatures remain low and no claddinq rupture nor metal water reaction occur.

Thus, these sources can be neglected.

Also, the steam generator (SG) is a heat sink only if primary systen pressure is above that which corresponds to the secondary system safety valve setpoint

(% 1050 psia).

Therefore, gases present :n the core floodina t a n k c a n b e n e g l e c t e d.i n a dd r.cn.i.n g the effect of noncondensible on SG condensation.

The only sources of noncondensibles which might separate in the RCS are the gases dissolved in the coolant, the gases in the pressurizer, gases in the. makeup and borated water storage tank and gases released from an allowed 17. failed fuel in the core.

B.

Effects of Noncondensible Gases on the Primary System Response Followino a Small Break LOCA There are two possible ways in which the release of noncondensible gases in the primary systdm could interfere with the condensation heat transfer processes which occur in the steam generator during small loss of coolant accidents.

If noncondensible gases filled the U bend at the top of the hot leg, then water vapor would have to diffuse through the noncondensible gases before they could be condensed in the steam generator.

This would be a very slow process and would effectively inhibit natural circulation.

Lesser amounts of noncondensibles would reduce the heat transfer by condensation because the vapor would have to diffuse through the noncondensibles to get to the condensate on the tubes.

6 349 As discussed in response to Part A of this question, the

~cnly sources of noncondensibles which might separate in the PL5 are the gases dissolved in the coolant, the gases in ohe pressurizer, gases in the makeup and borated water storage tank and gases released from an allowed li failed fuel in the core.

Thus, the maximum amount of noncondensible gases in the system, assuming all gas comes out of solution, no noncondensibles are lost through the break flow, that there was one percent failed fuel, and the injection of 6.4 x 104 lbm from the makeup tank and BWST (typical of % 1500 sec of HPI),

would be:

Dissolved in coolant 5.63 scf In pressurizer 166 Fission gas 2

Fuel rod fill gas 11 MU tank 24 BWST 14 Total 780 scf 3

This gas would occupy a volume of 22.4 ft at a pressure of 1050 psia, the lowest pressure condition in the primary system for which condensation heat removal will occur.

It should be noted that the assumed integrated injection flow does not have a significant effect on the total volume of noncondensibles which might be present in the primary system.

Since the volume required to completely fill the U-bend in the hot leg is 125 ft, the noncondensible gases 3

will not impede the flow of vapor to the steam generator.

The heat transfer during condensation is made up of the sensible heat trans-ferred through the diffusion layer and the latent heat released due to conden-sation of thg vapor reaching the interface (see Figure 1).

The model of Colburn and Hougen(ll gives the following equation for the heat transfer in the vapor phase:

4 = hg(Tg - Tg ) + Kg Mg hf (Pg - Pg )

Thus, 4 = Kg Mg hfg(Pgo - Pgi).

(2)

The heat transfer with noncondensible gases present is obtained by iteration.

An interface temperature Tgj is assumed, which fixes Pgi, and the heat transfer across the liquid condensate film is computed from

=-

The partial pressure of the gas at the bulk conditions can be calculated from the mole fraction of noncondensible gases.

When the heat flux computed from equation 2 matches that computed by equation 3, the proper interface temperature has been found.

The impact of roncondensibles on ^e condensation heat transfer process during a small braak was examined for the 0.04 ft2 and 0.01 ft2 cold leg breaks analy-zed for tb 177-FA plants.

The breaks utilize the SG for heat removal for a significant portion of the transient.

Hand calculations were performed, using the theory presented above, to ascertain the effect of non-condensibles on the transient.

The amount of noncondensible gases, assuming that all gases come out of solu-tion, would be 2.61 moles.

The effect of these gases is to raise the pressure and primary temperature to obtain the same heat transfer.

Assuming that the noncondensibles accumulated only within the steam generator upper plenums and the steam generator tubes, the system pressure increase, due to noncondensibles, would only be 25 osi, for a 0.04 ft2 break, and 40 psi, for a 0.01 ft2 break.

It should be noted that this effect is predominantly due to the inclusion of 2

the partial pressure of the noncondensibles, which is 24 psi for the 0.04 ft break and 34 psi for the 0.01 ft2 break, in the total system pressure.

These calculations represent the maximum impact as they were computed at the time of maximum condensation heat flux for the respective cases.

As shown, the influence of noncondensibles does not significantly effect the condensation heat transfer process.

The estimates made are conservative in that they assumed all the gas is located in the steam generators (none is ir the top of the reactor vessel or pressurizer) and no gases escape through the break.

Thus, the presence of noncondensible gases in the system should not significantly affect the small break transient.

C, Actions to Preclude Introduction of Noncondensible Gases into the Primary System Introduction of significant quantities of noncondensible gases into the primary system following a small break LOCA is prevented if the core is not uncovered during a small break.

The small break guidelines which have been developed by B&W, are designed to prevent core uncovery by assuring continued ECC injection.

Thus, the amount of noncondensibles which might separate in the RCS is small and would not significantly effect the small break transient (See Part B above).

D.

Operator Actions During Accumulation of Noncondensible Gases in the Primary System A significant accumulation of noncondensible gases within the primary system during a small break is not expected.

This position is confirmed by small break transient predictions, using conservative Appendix K assumptions, which show that little core uncovery occurs.

(2,3,4)

As a result of the small core uncovery fuel rod temperature excursions are limited to 1100F; and, fuel rod failure or H 2 gas formation due to metal water reaction will not occur.

6 352

~

.. Small amounts of noncondensible gases can be released into the primary system during a small break.

For the break size range where norcondensible gases could have a detrimental effect (i.e., breaks where natural circulation is required for e; argv removal) the quantities of gases that are predicted to exist within the primary system are not significant.

For larger quantities of noncondensible gases to exist, a core transient that is not predicted must occur.

The probability for such an occurrence is believed to be small because of the detailed emergency procedures for post-LOCA conditions that have been developed and the extensive operator trai'ning that has been conducted in their use.

Emergency procedures have been developed to accommodate nonconden-sible gases, to maintain plant control, and to achieve a stable long term cooling condition.

Provided be10w is a brief summary of plant control measures contained i.n pr,esent emergency procedures which will counteract the effects or noncondensible gases and additional guidance for operator action developed for an inadequate core cooling condition, which will be incorporated into emergency procedures in =the narc f +ure.

To upgrade the RCS venting and/or degassing capabilities, remote operated hot leg vents will be designed and installed by 1981.

Small break emergency procedures will also be revised at that time to include use of the hot leg high point vents to aid the re-establish-ment of natural circulation and to vent noncondensible gases which may evolve during small break transient.

CURRENT PROCEDURAL ACTIONS' During a small break, the principle effect of noncondensible gases is to minimize the performance of the steam generators during natural circulation (either single phase water flow or reflux boiling).

Table 2 lists the primcry symptoms and the corresponding operator actions identified in current emergency procedures.

As indicated in Table 2, a restart of the RC pumps (one per loop) is the optimum action.

A return to forced circulation will aid in condensation of existing steam and removal of noncondensible gas (if present) within the hot leg piping.

Noncondensible gases, originally within the loop piping, would then tend to be suspended within the coolant stream and collect within the upper regions of the reactor vessel (RV).

A substantial quantity (s 1000 ft.3) of gas can be accommodated within the upper region of the RV; therefore, there is good assurance that natural circulation can be maintained if RC pump operation must be terminated.

If the RC pumps cannot be started and/or no secondary side heat sink is available, the operator will utilize the PORV and HP1 for core cooling and RC pressure control until the RC pumps can be restarted and/or secondary cooling is re-established.

6 553 The above actions are sufficient to enable the operator tn bring the unit to a stable, long term cooling condition based on expected plant performance using Appendix K evaluation methods.

Although a large accumulation of noncondensible gases is not expected under these assumptions, the above actions are believed to be sufficient if the anticipated amounts of non-condensible gases are increased by an order of magnitude because of the larae volume available for gases in the upper head of the RV and the loss of noncondensible gases out the break.

Once stable long term cooling conditions are established, RCS venting and/or degassing procedures can be initiated.

If the RC pump (s) are operative and pressurizer spray is available, the reactor coolant can be degassed within the pressurizer where the steam-gas space can be vented to the Quench Tank inside containment.

If letdown is available, the reactor coolant can also be degassed utilizing the makeup tank.

The reduction of the amount of gases dissolved in the RC will encourage remaining gas pockets within the RCS to redissolve in the water.

The operator can monitor the progress of degassing activities via analysis of pressurizer fluid and/or letdown water samples.

SMALL BREAK - INADEQUATE CORE COOLING CONDITIONS An inadequate core cooling condition is not expected for B&W 177 FA plants.

However, guidelines which identify the symptoms and operator actions for several circumstances, including a small break, have been prepared by B&W.

This information is discussed in detail in Reference 5.

The operator actions discussed in Reference 5 are aimed at restoration of core cooling (restart an RC pump) followed by an increased rate of plant cooldown and depressurization (via SG cooling and PORV operation) to acquire use of the high volumetric flow capability of the CFT and LPI system to maintain core cooling-From a noncondensible gas standpoint, the actions accomplished the following:

1.

Prevention:

By initiating corrective action when cladding temperatures are below those #or which metal water reaction is significant, gas accumulation is minimized.

RC pump ope ra ti on (if possible) to restore core cooling and to increase the plants cooldown/depressurization capability is the preferred action.

2.

Venting:

For the core to be inadequately cooled, the RCS must be in a highly void condition.

Therefore, PORV operation in combination with the break should provide a vent mechanism for the noncondensible gas that do exist.

As discussed in the previcus section, normal venting and degassing procedures can also be undertaken once stable long term cooling is established.
