TITLE:

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SCOPE This procedure covers placing the reactor in the safe shutdown condition i

following an event (such as fire) that renders the normal emergency shutdown systems and equipment inoperable.

Since the exact circu= stances of the inci-dent cannot be predicted ahead of time, this procedure is rather general and suggests different ways and means of accomplishing the goal.

It is not con-sidered that a LOCA or other major accident occurs simultaneously.

SYMPTOMS The symptoms for an accident of this type could be practically unlimited.

They will depend on the initiating event and will include such things as loss of indication on operating or standby equipment, annunciation of i

spurious conditions and possible overcurrent or other relay action.

AUTOMATIC ACTIONS The automatic actions which take place will depend on the source and magni-tude of the initiating event.

They could,. howe,ver, include such things as:

1.

Turbine-Generator trip (V

EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN I

s DNEDIATE OPERATOR ACTIONS ACTIONS COMMENN 1.

Regardless of whether the reactor has tripped, take the following actions:

a.

Detemi.ie the cause or source of the incident (fire, water, high enerqy line break, etc.).

b.

Take all possible actions to limit the consequences of the incident.

This may include such things as deenergizing equipment, load centers or buses, securing equipment or lines and draining tanks.

c.

Detemine the extent of the damage and the consequences of this damage in terms of equipment operability.

d.

Make an assessment of the. potential damage and consequences if the situation cannot be readily con-trolled.

e.

If the possibility exists that re-dundant safeguarcs or shutdown systems may be affected or if they are affected, trip the reactor.

SUBSEOUENT OPERATOR ACTIONS Once it has been determined that the redundant normal shutdown and cooldown systems are inoperable, the following general actions should be taken.

First and most important is to get the reactor shutdown.

Cooldown~should then be initiated by any means possible.

It is essential to get water igto the steam generators for a heat sink and to insure natural circulation or the primary coolant.

Shutdown the reactor.

a.

Trip the reactor in the normal manner from the control room.

b.

Check all rods inserted and reactor power decreasing rapidly.

c.

Shutdown both control rod drive MG sets.

d.

Check both reactor trip breakers and both bypass breakers open and rack them out.

3.

Borate the reactor to the cold xenon free shutdown condition.

It is highly desirable to get the reactor borated as soon as possible since conditions may deteriorate to where the heat tracing systmn is ineffective and boration bec mes difficult to accomplish.

Any of the following boration paths may be uti-lized as appropriate or necessary:

a.

liormal baration thrcugh the blender to the suction of the charging pumps.

Primary System Cooldown Considerations It is es:ential to maintain circulation

.of the reactor coolant to remove decay.

heat.

If a reactor coolant pump is operable, it should be kept running.

However, if all the coolant pumps are lost it is essential'to maintain natural circulation.

Verify natural circulation per Emergency Procedure OP-23.

NOTE:

Natural circulation is caused by providing heat addition in one part of the system (decay heat frem the core) and heat removal in another part of the' system (steam removal from the generators).

Natural circulation is better just after a trip when the decay heat is greater and it can be improved by increasing the heat removal rate.

Natural circulation can be prevented by format on of a steam bubble in the i

tubes or by loss of heat removal capabili ty.

Primary system pressure and temperature should be monitored to insure that saturation conditions are not reached.

Also circulation may stop if the steam generator secondary side temperature exceeds-the primary side temperature.

In part 5 above the varicus baration a.

methods were discussed.

All of these methods require that a charging pump be operable.

If all three chargiiig pumps are inoperable, the goal beccmes to get the primary system pressure reduced to where a safety injection pump can be used for boration (less than 1500 psig).

j b.

Check all pressurizer heaters deenergi;ed.

c.

Without any reactor coolant pumps O '!

or charging pumps there is no pressurizer spray available so i

pressure must be reduced by other means.

If the RHR system is not available or if its required support systems (component cooling and auxiliary salt water) are not available, proceed as follows.

1)

Continue to use the steam dump system to reduce RCS temperature down to 212*F.

2)

Continue to add feedwater to the steam generators.

In order to col down below 212*F, some kind of liquid release must occur since boiling will not occur.'

4)

Open the blowdown valves on each steam generator all the way.

If the blowdown flow is not large enough to provide adequate heat removal, increase the feedwater flow and start filling the steam generators, 6)
