4. PLANT OPERATING REQUIREMENTS 4.1 The CRD hydraulic system provides the motive force to the drives and the only source of charging water to the accumulators. Consequently, it must be in operation whenever - - - ~ ' ~ the reactor is critical and whenever the vessel is hot to cool %e drives. -4.2 The IRD hydraulic system adds makeup water -to the reactor vessel and provides seal water to Rx recirculation pumps as well as hydrotesting the primary system. The system backup pump provides water to the head spray system.

OP 302 Page 5 Rev. 10 Date: 7/20/81 If the CRD backup pump is out of service during a shutdown 4.3 procedure, the control rod cooling water header flow can be reduced and the o;; crating pump used to supply a limited amount of water to the reactcr head spray system. 5.

Stop "CRD PUMP A (B)" by placing its control switch to the "STOP" position on CRP 905. 7.2.2 leave system valve alignment and control valve adjustments in the operating position. This will permit immediate restart should a rod or rods tend to drift out. 7.2.3 Equipment to be serviced and conditions of shutdown will dictate valving and equipment isolation. 7.3 -Accumulator Charging Procedure Special Precautions and Limitations -l. --Since gas expansion during initial charging results in low nitrogen temperature, the accumulator charging pressu.e must be set only when the temperature of the nitrogen has reached equilibrium. 2.' At any time a hydraulic control unit is connected to the tontrol rod drive hydraulic system, with 1.he scram Eccumulator charged, the drive withdrawal isolation valve (102) and the scram discharge isolation valve (112) must be opened prios to opeling the drivt insert isolation valve (101). Cor.versely, valve (101) must be closed prior ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ - - ~ ~~to closing valves (10'2) and (112). SerSusdamagetothe LRD rould result if a reactor scram occurred with valve (101) open and valve (102) or (112) closed. 7.3.1 Verify that Control Rod Drive System is in nperation as per Section 7.1. t 1 ( --,r

The accumulator is fully discharged when gas pressure, as shown on the accumulator pressure gauge, remains constant. ~ This indicates that the piston in the water accumulator has reached its mechanical stop. 7.3.5 fully close the gas charging inlet valve (111) on the instrumentation block. 7.3.6 Loosen the nitrogen charging connection cap (P6) and allow gas pressure to bleed from the instrumentation block. 7.3.7 Remove the cap from connector P6 and connect the gas _ _ charging line to the instrumentation block. 7.3.B Slowly open the nitrogen bottle shutoff valve and adjust the pressure regulator to provide the proper charging pressure per attached pressure-versus-ambient-temperature curve, Appendix 2. 7.3.9 Slowly open the gas charging inlet valve (111) and allow accumulator pressure to slowly increase as -indicated on the accumulator pressure gauge. By permitting the nitrogen to enter slowly, it will tend to reach equilibrium temperature and establisn the desired charging pressure more rapidly. 7.3.10 h en correct pressure is attained, close the bottle -shutoff valve end then close the gas charging inlet valve (111). 7.3.11 Bleed pressure from the gas charging line using the charging line vent valve until the accumulator pressure gauge shows zero pressure. t

When all air has vented, close the vent valve (107). 7.3.15 Allow the piston in the water accumulator to compres= the gas charge to double the value of the initial nitrogen charge (approximately 1150 psig as indicated on the accumulator pressure gauge). CAUTION: AFTER APPR0XIMATELY 30 MINUTES, RECHECK THE TRE550RE TNDICATED I)N ~THE ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE GAUGE AND VERIFY THAT IT REMAINS - -~~ -- - ~~~~ CONSTANT AFTER THE NITROGEN HAS COOLED. IF ~' ~~ AFTER THIS INTERVAL PRESSURE EXCEEDS 1150 PSIG, LOOSEN THE CAP ON CONNECTOR P6 AND SLEED EXCESS PRESSURE. EXCESS ACCUMULATOR PRESSURE COULD RESULT IN INTERNAL CRD DAMAGE IN THE EVENT OF A REACTOR SCRAM. 7.3.16 To return the CRD to service, reopen the is~olation valves in the following order: 102, then 101. 7.4 Control Rod Drive System Venting Procedure 7.4.1 Verify that the hydraulic system is in service and 1 that pressures and flows are properly adjusted.

The cracking noted to date has been found to begin on the outer surface of the rollet retainer tube approximately six inches tiown the tube. Seneral Electric has attributed this cracking to thermal cycles during hot scram, followed by exposure to crygenated CRD cooling water which can be aggressive to sensitized materials. In CRD's examined thus far, the cracking is generally shallow and confined to the area where the tube This tube ha a very low mechanical loading anc'. wall changes thickness. However. should the probability of complete failure is extremely remote. The cracking progress to a point of complete circumferential separation the IRD would be rendered inoperable. 7he followingTaeneralTlectric recomendations shall be implemented: If a CRD fails to respond to the nomal insert romand (reartnr 1. pressure plus 250 to 300 psi). Install the dp instrumentation and verify that hydraulic a. pressures am being applied to the IRD Ifrive piston. 1. 31the ERD will not insert with normal system drive pressure mnder the piston, it should be 2fe:lared inoperable and no further attempt should be made to move the Tirive unless authorized by the Unit Superintendent. Such a CRD should be I electrically disarmed and hydraulically isolated to preclude Scramming the possibility of inadvertently scramming the CRD. a CRD having a' separated collet retainer tube would result in ~ 4i unnecessary damage to the drive.
