TOPIC VI-10.A TESTING OF REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM AND ENGlhiERED 5AFETY FEAILRES OYSTER CREEK i

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Tne objective of this reviepy.is to cetermine if all Reactor Trip System (RTS) components, including pumos and valves, are incluced in component and system tests, if the scope and frequency of periccic testing is acequate, and if the test program meets Current licensing criteria. The review will also accress tnese same matters with respect to the Containment Spray System i

(CSS) as a typical example of all Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems.

1 i

2.0 CRITERIA General Design Criterion 21 (GDC 21), " Protection Systen Reliability anc Testability," states, in part, that:

Tne protection system shall :e cesignec to ;ermit periccic testing of its functioning anen tne reactor is in toeraticn, inclucing a capability to test cnannels ince:encently to cetermine failure anc iosses of recunaancy tnat may have occrrrec.

Regulatory Guide 1.22, "Periccic Testing of the Protection System AC!uation Functions," states, in Section D.l.a, that:

The periccic tests snould duplicate, as closely as practicacle, tne performance that is required of Ine actuation aevices in tne event of I

an accicent; I

l anc further, in Section D.4, states that:

When actuated equipment is not testec curing reactor operation, it should be snown that:

I

a.

There is no practicable system design that would permit operation of the actuated equipment without acversely affecting tne safety or operacility of the plant, D.

The probability that the protection system will fail to initiate the operation of the actuated equipment is, and can ce maintained, atieptably low without testing the actuated equipment during reactor operation, and c.

Tne actuated equipment can be routinely tested when the reactor is shut down.

IEEE Standard 338-1977, " Periodic Testing of Nuclear Power Generating Station Class 1E Power and Protection Systems," states, in part, in Section 3:

Overlap testing consists of channel, train, or load-group verification by performing indivicual tests on the various components and subsystems of the cnannel, train, or load grcup.

The individual component and subsystem tests shall check parts of acjacent sucsyst' ems, such that tne entire channel, train or icac group will be verifiec by testing of incivicual comoonents or suosystems."

ana in part in Secticn 6.3.4:

l l

Response time testing snail ce recairec only on safety systems or suosystems to verify tnat the response times are witnin the limits of 1

the overall response times given in the Safety Analysis Report."

Sufficient overlac snall be proviced to verify overall system response.

The response-time test shall include as much of each safety system, f rom sensor input to actuated equipment, as is practicable in a single test. Where the entire set of equipment from sensor to actuated ecuipment cannot be tested at once, verification of system response time shall be accomplished by measuring the response times of discrete 2

_e portions of the system and showing that the sum of t"a response times of all is within the limits of tne overali system re.;irement.

In acdition, the following criteria are applicaole to the ESF: General Design Criterion 40 (GDC 40), " Testing of Containment Heat Removal System,"

states tnat:

d The co'ntainment heat removal syste'm snall be designeo to permit appro-priate periodic pressure anpfunctional testing to assure:

a.

The structural and leaktignt integrity of its components.

b.

The operaoility and performance of the active components of the system.

c.

Tne operacility of the system as a wnole anc under concitions as close to the design as practical, the performance of the full operational secuence that orings the system into cperation, including operation of applicab.le portions of the protection systems, the transfer between normal and emergency power scurces, anc the operation of tne associatec cooling water system.'

Stancarc Review Plan, Section 7.3, A::pencix A, "Use of IEEE Stancarc 279 in Ine Review of tne ESFAS an Instrumentation and Controls cf Essential Auxiliary Supporting Systems," states, in Section ll.b, that:

Periodic testing should cuplicate, as closely as practical, the inte-grated performance required from the ESFAS, ESF systems, and their j

essential auxiliary supporting systems.

If such a " system level" test can be performed only during shutcown, the testing ccne curing power operation must be reviewed in detail. Check that " overlapping" tests do, in fact, overlap from one test segment to another. For example, closing a circuit breaker with the manual breaker control switch may not be adequate to test tne ability of the ESFAS to close tne breaker.

3 i

3.0 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM (RTS) 3.1 Description.

The system is made up of two incepencent logic channels, eacn having subchannels of tripping devices.

Each subchannel has an input from at least one independent sensor, monitoring each of the crit-ical parameters.

The output of each pair of subchannels is ccmbined in a one-out-of-two logic:

that is, an input in either one or both of the independent subchan-nels will produce a logic cnannel trip.

Both of the other two subchannels are likewise combined in a one-out-of-two logic, independent of the first logic channel. Tne outputs of the two logic channels are combined in two-of-two arrangement so that they must be in agreement to initiate a scram.

An off-limit signal in one of the subchannels in one of the logic channels j

must be confirmed by any other off-limit signal in one of the subchannels of tne remaining logic channel to provide a scram.

During normal operation, all vital sensor and trip contacts are closec, anc all sensor relays are operated energized. The control rod pilot scram valve solenoids are energized, and instrument air pressure is apoliec to all scram valves. Wnen a trip coint is reacnec in any of the cnitorea carameters, a contact ccens, de-energizing a relay wnicn controls a ccntact in one of :ne two succnannels.

The cpening of a subcnannel con-tact ce-energizes a scram relay wnich opens a contact in the ocwer supply to the pilot scram valve solenoics suppliec cy its logic channel.

To this point, only one-half the events required to produce a reactor scram have occurred. Unless the pilot scram solenoids supplied oy the other logic channel are de-energized, instrument air pressure will continue to act on the scram valves and operation can continue. Once a single channel trip is initiatec, contacts in that scram relay circuit cpen and keep that circuit de-energized until the initiating parameter has returned within operating limits and the reset switcn is actuated manually.

It should be noted that each control rod has individual pilot scram solenoids for each channel and an incividual air-operated scram valve. A normally-closed switch is pro-vided in each logic channel pilot scram solenoid circuit. This allows each 4

1 rod to be manually scrammed (tested) by opening both logic -hannel switches ano de-energizing the pilot scram solenoids.

This type of est would pro-vide the required overlapping test of the RTS.

The parameters (sensors) wnich are recuired to initiate reactor scram are listeo in TaDie 1.

The condenser low-vacuum sensors'are connected to the RpS trip system and can initiate a scrpm. However, the only instruments included in th'is table are those recuirid to prevent exceeding the fuel cladding integrity limits during n.ormal~ operation or operational transients; as described in the plant FSAR and, listed,in Table 4.1.1 of the Oyster Creek Technical Specifications.

3.2 Evaluation.

The Oyster Creek RTS is designea to ailcw o'verlap-ping tests from actuating device througn the control rods. The cesign allows incividual channel tests frcm sensors tnougn pilot scram valves while the reactor is in Cperation and the overlapping red scram tests curing refueling.

Althcugn one or more rod scram valves may fail during reactcr operaticn, the cnannel tests will verify that no common mode fail-ure will occur and sufficient pilot valves, will operate to shut cown the reactor.

Tacie i shows tne present Oyster Creek RT3 instr; rent surveillance requirements, inclucing frecuency.

The table also shcas tne current licen-sing recuirements for General Electric boiling water reactors as listec in the Standard Tecnnical Specifications. The tests snCan only involve single channels testing (half-scram).

Table 4.1.2 of the Oyster Creek Tecnnical Specifications require a dual channel test (scram) witn the same frecuency as the instrument channel tests. However, this test is not performed.

l 1

It should be noted that Technical S;ecification Tacle a.i.2 cces not require the main steam-line isolation valve closure parameter channel cali-bration, altnough the Oyster Creek Technical Specification recuirement in Section 2.3 requires that a 10% v61tr closure initiate scram.

No f

system response-time measurements from sensor to actuated equipment are required by the Oyster Creek Technical Specifications.

Control rod response-time testing is required prior to start up after a major refueling outage with eight rods required to be tested after a reactor outage or scram.

Section 3.2, Reactivity Control, provides the rod scram insertion time requirements.

On page 3.2-5 of the Oyster Creek Technical Specifications, 200 milli-seconds is listed as the required maximum response time of sensor and associated RPS system to the start of control rod motion.

However, no response-time testing is required in the Technical Specifications.

4.0 CONTAINMENT SPRAY SYSTEM 4.1 Descriction.

The containment spray cooling system consists of two indepencent cooling loops, each capable of removing fission product cecay heat f rom the primary containment.

Each loop consists of a pair of spray heacers in the drywell vessel, fed by two containment spray pumps and two heat exchangers.

Two emergency service water pumps supply cooling water to the heat exchangers. Each of the containment cooling system loops craws suction frcm the base of the a0 sorption pool.

The system offers comolete recuncancy since eitner of the two system locos sucolies mere tnan adeouate cooling capacility. One ccntainment spray pump, one emergency service water cump, and two crywell soray valves in eacn icop are startec or opened automatically.

All otner valves are normally-open.

The backup pumps for eacn loop must be coeratec manually.

Containment spray is initiated by high drywell pressure and low-low reactor water level, each utilizing four independent sensors. Two channel logic with twc sensors of each variable in each channel are connectec in a one-out-of-two taken twice scneme which provides the necessary redunoancy for the automatic start circuitry.

4.2 Evaluation.

The containment spray system design allows testing up to a block valve at the drywell vessel for design flow conditions with the reactor in operation.

The circuit design also ensures that the system 8

will be returned to normal immediately if conditions so re gire. Valve operating circuits are such tnat it will not be possible tm have both independent containment cooling system loops in the test position at the same time. The service water pumps can be started and tested under design flow conditions at any time. Air can be used to assure lines and spray nozzles are not clogged when the reactor is shut down.

Table 2 shows the current testing requirements for the containment spray system and associated systens. The Oyster Creek Technical Specifica-tion surveillance recuirements (Taole 4.1.1.1) co not identify the instru-ment (channel) for each safety system. Therefore, it is possible that no (or incomplete) surveillance could be performed on sensors and/or logic cnannels for some safety systems. No direct comparison can be made with the Standarc Technical Specifications since no directly similar systems are used for SWR-5s.

However, the surveillance recuirements for the containment scray and associated systems agree with emergency coolir., systems in the Stancara iecnnical Specifications. No response-time testing is recuired by tne Oyster Creek Technical Specifications.

5.0

SUMMARY

The Oyster Creek Technical S;acification surveillance recuirements (Tacle 4.1.1) co not icentify tne instrument (cnannel) for eacn safety system. Therefore it is ;ossible that no (cr inccmolete) surve.illance could be performec on sensors anc/or logic cnannels for scme safety systems.

Reactor Trio System.

As discussec in Section 3, *.he Oyster Creek reactor trip system design and testing meets the current licensing criteria listed in Section 2 of this report, with the folicwing exceptions:

1.

The plant Technical Specifications do not cecuire a test of tne reactor mode switch and some instruments are not specifically identified for RTS system testing.

Containment Soray System.

Th$OysterCreekcontainmentspraysystem is designed to permit complete, periodic, independent logic channel testing (GDC 22), and the design allows appropriate periodic pressure and functional testing (GDC 40).

The testing of the transfer between normal and emergency power sources, anc the operation of the emergency service water system provides reasonable assurance for availability and meets current licensing criteria.

However, the Oyster Creek Technical Specifications surveillance requirements require no periodic response-time measurements f rom sensor to actuatec equipment.

In addition, some instrumentation such as drywell pressure (increasing and decreasing), manual actuation, and timing relays iauto-transfer) are not includec in surveillance recuirements (Tatie 2).
