3/4.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM EASES 3/4.4.1 REACTOR COOLANT LOOPS Several alternative methods are available for removal of reactor decay heat.

These methods include use of the Mini Decay Heat Removal System, the

" Loss to Amcient" cooling moce, and operation of the Reactor Coolant System in the natural circulation mode with heat rejection via the long term "B" steam generator cooling mode.

Any one of these cooling methods provides adequate cooling of the reactor and each method is available for decay heat removal.

Procedures have been prepared and approved for use of these various cooling methoos.

3. 4. 4. 3 aar:TY VALVES Tse pressurizer coce safety valves operate to prevent tne RCS from being pressurizec above its Safety Limit of 2750 psig.

Each safety valve is designed to relieve 348,072 lbs per hour of saturated steam at tne valve's setpoint.

3/4.4.9 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMIT ine RCS pressure and temperature will be controlled in accordance witn aDoeovec procecures to prevent a nonductile failure of the RCS while at the same time permitting the RCS pressure to be maintained at a sufficiently high value te permi t operation of tne reactor coolant pumps.

~

The long term "B" steam generator cooling system is required to be main-l tained in an OPERABLE status since it is an alternative method for removing decay heat from the reactor coolant system.

3/4.7.2 SECONDARY SERVICES CLOSED COOLING WATER SYSTEM The secondary services closed cooling water system is required to be maintained in an OPERABLE condition since it is used to cool the "B" steam generator closed loop cooling system.

3/4.7.3 CLOSED CYCLE COOLING WATER SYSTEM 3/4.7.3.1 NLCLEAR SERVICES CLOSED CYCLE COOLING SYSTEM GPERABILITY of the nuclear services closed cycle cooling system is reauired during operation of the MDHRS since this system provides the heat sink for the MOHRS.

3/4.7.3.2 DECAY HEAT CLOSED COOLING WATER SYSTEM

[

The decay heat closed cooling water system is required to be maintained in an OPERABLE status since it is provided to remove heat from the DHR system which is being maintained OPERABLE in a backup status for possible core cooling.

3/4.7.3.3 MINI DECAY HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM (MDHRS)

OPERABILITY of the MDHRS is required since it is an alternative method for removing decay heat from the reactor.

The MDHRS is provided with two pumos and two heat exchangers; one pump and one heat exchanger have adequate capacity for removing the present level of decay heat from the-core.

3/4.7.4 NUCLEAR SERVICE RIVER WATER SYSTEM The nuclear service river water system uses river water to cool the nuclear services closed cycle cooling system, the secondary services closec l

cooling water system, anc cecay heat closed-cooling water system; therefore, it must be OPERABLE too.

This system rejects its heat to the river as the ultimate heat sink.

3/4.7.6 FLOOD PROTECTION The limitation on flood protection ensures that facility protective t

i actions will be taken in the event of flood conditions.

The limit of elevation 302 Mean Sea Level is baseo on the maximum elevation at which facility flood control measures provida protection to safety related equipment.

i 3/4.7.7 CONTROL ROCM EMER~ENCY AIR CLEANUP SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the control room emergency air cleanup system ensures that 1) the ambient air temperature does not exceed the allowable temperature for continuous duty rating for the eouipment and instrumentation cooled by this system and 2) the control room will remain habitable for operations person?:el during and following all credible accicent conditions.

The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction with control room design provisions is based on limiting the radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room to 5 rem or less whole bocy, or its equivalent.

This limitation is consistent with the eeavirements of General Design Criterion 19 of Appendix "A",

10 CFR 50.

3/4.7.10 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS i

The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adecuate fire suporession capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occuring in any portion of the facility wnere safety related ecuipment is locatec.

The fire suppression system consists of the water system, spray anc/or sprinklees. Halon and fire hose stations.

The collective capability of the fire suppression systems is adequate to minimize potential damage to safety related equipment and is a major element i~ the facility fire protec-

  • ion prog am.

Any two of the four main fire pumps provice comoined capacity greater than 3575 gpm.

In tne event that portions of the fire suppression systems are inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.

In the event '. hat the fire suporession water system becomes inoperable, immediate corrective measures must be taken since tnis system r.rovides the major fire suppression capability of the plant.

The requiremene for a Special Report to the Commission provides for timely evaluation of the acceptability of the corrective measures to provice adecca*a fire suppression capability for the continued operation of the nuclear planc.

alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.

In the event that the fire suppression water system becomes inoperable, immediate corrective measures must be taken since this system provides tne major fire suppression capability of the plant.

The requirement for a Special Report to the Commission provides for timely evaluation of the acceptability of the corrective measures to provide adequate fire suppression capacility for the continued operation of the nuclear plant.
