Comanche Peak Proposed Secondary Water Chenistry Monitoring Program The CPSES secondary sanpling schedule will be, in large part, Westinghouse's suggested general schedule for sanpling. This schedule will be included into procedure CHM-106.

The sampling control points for secondary systen chemical paraneters are steam generator (water), main steam and condensate feedwater.

Table 1 provides chemical paraneters and their values for power operation for each control point. Figure 1 shows these sanpling points (and others) on a secondary system schematic.

The CPSES Secondary Water Chemistry Monitoring Progran has been established to maintain the integrity of the steam generators.

The critical control paraneters are the steam generator water chemistry as measured in the steam generator blowdown. Tables 2 thru 5 provide steam generator critical water chemistry for operational modes.

The procedures used to measure the value of chemical parameters are:

a.

pH-CHM-332 - This method involves the immersion of a glass electrode into the sanple and recording the reading on the meter.

b.

Conductivity - CHM-309 - This method involves the measurement of the electrical conductance of the sanple using a dip cell or a flow cell connected to a bridge type instranent.

l l

c.

Chloride - CHM-203 - Several methods will be applicable for this analy si s.

Those that may be used are:

(1) a titranetric method using dilute mercuric nitrate solution in the presence of mixed diphenylcar'eazone - branophenol blue I

i t

_. =_

i indicator.

(2) a spectrophotometric method that uses the formation of Ferric thiocynate complex from the reaction of chloride ion with mercuric thiocyanate.

d.

Suspended Solids - CHM-330 - This method involves the filtration of the sample through a 0.45 micron filter paper and weighing ine increase in weight of the filter paper.

l e.

Silica - CHM-325 - This method is a spectrophotmetric method. A colored cmplex is produced by the reaction of soluble silica with i

molyndate.

f.

Flourides - CHM-204 - Specific ion electrode technique.

Process sampling points and potential grab sanple points are provided in Table 6.

Procedure CHM-101, " Chemistry Docuent Control" will describe the methods, techniques, and responsibilities for the recording of all chemistry data, the review of the analytical results or trends, and the records storage requirenents for this infonnation. The responsible senior technician, Radiochemist and the Chemistry and Enviromental Engineer shall have a review responsibility of these chenical records.

The Chemistry and Health Physics Engineer has overall review responsibility of these records.

Initiation of action to maintain Steam Generator Water Chemistry is not limited to maintaining the critical control p;raneters (see tables 2 thru 5). Chemical parameters at other locations (as described above) in the secondary system are also monitored. When paraneters at other locations exceedlimits or ranges, indicating possible contaminant ingress, action will be taken to verify ingress, locate the source ar.d L

minmize or climinate the contaninant ingress. Early action can control or eliminate contaninants without observing any changes in the steam gena ator water critical parameters.

If abnormal chemistry cannot be corrected within a reasonable period of time by chemical additien, use of full flow conden: ate polishers, and/or steam generator blow-down, the plant may decrease power so that the system causing the problem can be isolated and repaired.

Corrective actions due to abnonnal chenistry conditions are provided in Table 7.

The Chenistry and Environmental Engineer has overall responsibility for the timely reconnendation of corrective actions to correct abnonnal secondary side chenical conditions. The Manager of Plant Operations is responsible for deciding to modify plant operations because of abnormal chemical conditions.

Procedure CHM-104 indentifies the Chemistry and Environmental Engineer i

as the authority responsible for the interpretation of data.

Once the Chemistry and Environmental Engineer is aware of the off control point condition, and it cannot be corrected within a reasonable amount of time, he will notify the Manager of Plant Operations through the Engineering Superintcadent, who upon ascertaining the situation and cor.sidering consequences, will decide upon a schedule for appropriate correction of the problem.
