4.

System pipind and valves directly associated with the above components operable.

B.

1.

The auxiliary f eedwater actuation system instrumentation shall be operable as shown in Table 3.8-1 except that one steam generator wide range level channel at a tLae may be removed f rom service for surveillance testing as required.

2.

The auxiliary f eedwater actuation system contacts and relays from the main steam generator feed pump breakets shall be operable whenever the auxiliary feedwater system is in automatic.

A reactor trip f rom power requires subsequent Basis:

removal of core decay heat.

Immediate decay heat removai requirements are normally satisfied by the steaa bypass to the condensers. Thereafter, core decay heat can be continuously dissipated via the steam bypass to the condenser as feedwater in the steam generator is converted to steam by heat absorption. Normally, the capability to return feedwater flow to the steam generators is provided by operation of the turbine cycle feedwater syste=.

3-13

In the evenc the main f eedwater system should f ail, the auxiliary feedwater system is automatically initiated upon coincidence of any 2 out of 4 steam generator lo lo level signals or the coincidence of both electric driven main feed pump circuit breakers being open if in the automatic mode.

Feedwater to the steam generators is maintained by the auxiliary feedwater system, consisting of a steam driven, auxiliary steam generator feedwater pump.

In addition, the auxiliary feedwater system can be initiated manually.

In this case, feedwater is available from the demineralized water storage tank by gravity feed to the auxiliary feedwater pump. The specified 50,000 gallons of water in the demineralized water storage tank is adequate for decay heat renoval for a period of at least two hours.

Within this period, decay heat removal demands are reduced to approximately 150 gpm. Makeup water is available during this period from the primary water storage tank which contains a minimum volume of 80,000 gallons. The primary water transfer pumps can transfer 200 gpm from the primary water tank to the demineralized water tank. An alternate supply can be provided from the 100,000 gallon capacity Recycled PrLaary Water Storage Tank.

A steam relieving capability of 7,000,000 lbs-per-hour is required at power levels up to and including 1473 MWt to maintain the pressure in turbine cycle components within ASME code allowable values in the event of a full load rejection at 1473 MWt, without a reactor trip or other control action and without feedwater flow to the steam generators.

Similarly, at 1825 MWt, a steam relieving capacity ot' 9,504,000 lbs-r"r-hour is required to maintain the pressure in turbine cycle components within code values in the event of a full load rejection at 1825 MWt.

4 4.8 AUXILIARY STEAM GENERATOR FEEDWATER SYSTEM Applicability:

Applies to periodic testing requirements of the steam-driven auxiliary steam generator feedwater system.

Obj ective :

To verify the operability of the auxiliary steam generator feedwater system and its ability to respond properly when requir ed.

Specification:

1.

The auxiliary feedwater system shall be demonstrated OPERABLE at least once per 31 days by:

Verifying that each steam turbine driven pump a.

develops a discharge pressure of greater than or equal to 800 psig at a steam supply pressure of 300 psig.'

b.

Verifying that each auxiliary feed pump will start when the auto initiation test switch is put in the test position.

Verifying that each non-automatic valve in the l

c.

flow path that is not locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, is in its correct position.

2.

The DWST and PWST shall be demonstrated OPERABLE at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> by verifying the contained water volume is within its limits.

3.

At refueling intervals, the capability of each pump to attain rated flow of 450 gpm shall be verified.

Basis:

The monthly testing program will verify the operability of the auxiliary steam generator feedwater system.

The l

refueling interval test will verify the capability of the turbine drive and pump to attain rated flow. A flow rate of 450 gpm is sufficient to prevent the steam generators from boiling dry during a period of coincident loss of offsite power and maximum decay heat removal requirements.

s Proper functioning of the steam admission valve and subsequent pump start will demonstrate the integrity of the system. Verification of correct operation will be made both from instrumentation within the main control room and direct visual observation of the pump.
