l' SPECIFICATION LCO 4.7.3 FUEL STORAGE WELLS l-LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION i

i

-l Each fuel storage well containing IRRADIATED FUEL shall have:

l a.

A _ helium ' atmosphere maintained at approximately atmospheric l

pressure (< I psig) or slightly below, and l b. 'Both cooling water coils OPERABLE with at least one coil in.

l operation, and.the outlet cooling water temperature of each coil l

operating shall be 150 degrees F or.less, or j

l c.

One cool.ing water coil operating with the outlet cooling water' t

l temperature ISO degrees F or less, and the fuel storage well l

emergency booster fan OPERABLE and capable of moving a minimum n

l total air flow of 9000 cfm -through the fuel storage vaults.

'{

.l d.--No-IRRADIATED PJEL located in the central column of a fuel 9

l storage well.

.[

.l APPLICABILITY:-

When IRRADIATED-FUEL is stored in the fuel-storage

within I hour initiate corrective action to re-establish the l

required - conditions within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, or perform one of the l

I a.

Transfer IRRADIATED FUEL to

'which the required conditions are met, or l

Establish backup cooling to the affected fuel storage-wells, l~.

Jl BASIS FOR SPECIFICATION LCO 4.7.3 P

-l The storage well cooling water system is designed.with two 100%

l capability cooling coils supplied from independent. water sources' l:(FSAR'Section 9.1.2).-

l l-The~ accident conditions described in the FSAR postulate the total n

l loss of cooling water to one of the nine fuel storage wells.

If.thi s'.

l were to occur, adequate cooling could be achieved by an increase in l the normal, ventilation air flow to cool the well by convection on the t

l external surface.

The increase in air flow is supplied by the fuel

-l. storage well emergency booster fan. This specification _is _ based on

-l thet analysis in FSAR Section.14.6.3.2 which uses the conservative l assumption that a' total flow of 9000 cfm would be drawn (equally 1

l divided)~'through all three vault compartments'of the fuel storage l wells, thus adequately protecting the affected storage well and fuel 4

r l within it from damaging temperatures.

(There are three fuel storage

-l wells in each of the three fuel storage. vaults).

l 4

l IRRADIATED FilEL elements are not stored in the central column of a l fuel stcrage well _because they cuinot br edeat.ately cooled in that l' location (FSAR "Section 9.1.2.2.2).

1 To pr m nt significant oxidation sf the 3RRADIATED FUEL, the fuel l str, rage wells are designed to mair;tair the IRRADIATED FUEL cool' and

[

l'under a nu.irially dry atmosphere of heliam. An outlet tempwature of l;150 degrees or less from a single cooling coil ensures the hottest 1

j IRRADIATED FUtX element surface temperatures will be maintained below l 750 degrees F, proventing any sigr.ificant. graphite oxidation in; the l event of air inleakaga into the storage well.

The helium storage j system provides purified helium for this~ service, giving sufficient l-protection against.a moist atmosphere.

l The ACTION statements provide for corrective actions wi_ thin'an l adequate time to prevent-the hottest stored fuel element surface

-l temperature from reaching 750 degrees

_F, thus obviating any

-l significant oxidation in the unlikely combined events of air l inleakage and loss of normal cooling.
