Date Auxiliary Feedwater Se: points Nove=ber 15, 1978 ga..i...i..............................,.

Our recent discussions with Toledo personnel regarding their need to reduce the steam generator level oe: point for natural circulation, and B&W's need to maintain a high level because of ICCS small break hre led to an i= passe, l

i Both ISW and Toledo are in a " risk" position because :he Toledo small break topical was based on a 32'. level position; any change to that position cay

, require re-analysis and re-licensing.

Nevertheless, a 2:eam generator. level

, value has not been reported to NRC, and the ECCS Unit believes tha: a 10',

level se: point will be adequate.

Toledo's naeds to lower the se: point are genuine and I offer :he following suggestien which you should pursue with Zoledo:

1.

Alter the control logic of the STRCS so that it will provide two setpoints.

Since a con::cl fune:1on cannot be readily placed in an ESFAS sys:e=, the SFRCS sus be mcdified.

In the presence of an ESFAS signal, :he ES?AS sets a priority for opera: ion over any STRCS signal and direc:s the STRCS

o provide a high se:poin: level control.

In the absence of an ES?AS signal, bu: wi:h an STRCS genera:ed signal, the SFRCS :entrol se:pcin:

is direc:ed :0 a 10w level.

A general sche =stic is a : ached; other ne hods j

of imple enting are possible, but this purveys :he concep:.

2.

ESTAS could also ini: ate auniliary feedwater and isolate =ain feedwa:er.

Further investiga: ion needs :o be made as :o :he actual sequence of events.

I believe 1: is now possible for :vo conditions Oc exis: because the TECo syste=s do not ini:iate ATJ by ISFAS.

These are:

Curren: Desi:n Site Condition Svste=s Secuen:e Control Se: cir:

1.

Offsi:e Power Available ESTAS

> ICS 2' (.v.ain Feedws.:e' O.

Offsi:e ?:ver "navailable ES?AS -r> SFRCS 10' (Aux. Feedwa:er)

If my reasoning is correc:, the firs: cond :icn will enly pr vide a 2' cen::ci (of =ain feedva:er); ne SFRCS signal will c:ur and the ICS will centrol.

The Other ::ndi:icn will cause :he 5?R S :: respond :: a loss of level (nes: likely) or :o a less Of pump p:ver.

A: any ra:c, SFRCS will ini:ia:e ATJ and control :c :he nigh se:pcin:.

$Ihe first condition may or.=ay not be acceptable to ECCS Analysis; they

, ;have not investigated small breaks with RC pumps running.

If such an L analysis were to be made, the results would probably be unf avorable.

I suggest that TICo confirm tha: :he above sequences are corree: before a decision is made to ini:iate AFW with ESTAS.

3. l.I believe that further analytical effort will probably be needed by ICCS
to confirm that the 10' setpoint is acceptable even though' their judgement

'says.it is.

I think that some docu=entazion on file will be required to substantiate their claim, but I do not reco= mend analyses at this time.

4.

An additional though might be considered for 11=1:ing the pressurizar draining.

Recen: investigations for the 205 plants have shown us that the ra:e of addition of feedwa:er has a substantial effect on RC :e:perature drop. : The Toledo plant power level only requires about 500 gpm (a: about 30-40 secondr after trip) to remove decay heat. Yet the: pumps are capable (at design) of about 800 gym each; with reduced steam generator pressure the addition rate increases by about 25% :o 30%.

The total flow rate possible tends to introduce subcooled water in:o the genera:or, fill to a preset level (possibly as a subcooled inven:ory--I don't kncv the effect of heat pickup as the va:er f alls through the tube nest), and : hen hea up to boiling.

A more preferable code would be to:in:roduce flow at a rate

'm7re equal to the decay heat load.

A'n investigation in:o ra:e limi:ing (valve opening restrictions, cavitating venturis) may be worthwhile.

Rate li=1:ing =ay be a full or partial tradcoff for level 11=iting.

5.

Further discussions with TECo about these suggestions are desirable; we will support efforts in this area.
