3/4.7.2 CORTROL R00M E4ERGENCY FILTRATION SYSTEM I

The OPERABILITY of the control room ventilation system ensures that 1) the ambient air temperature does not. exceed the allowable temperature for continuous duty rating for 'the equipment and instrumentation cooled by this system and 2) the control room will remain habitable for operations personnel ,

during and following all credible ac:ident 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 body, or its equivalent. This limitation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 10 of Appendix "A", 10 CPR Part 50.

3/4.7.3 FLOOD PROTECTION ,

The limitation- on flood protection ensures that facility protective actions will be taken and operation will be terminated in the event of flood ,

conditions. The limit of elevation 17'6" Mean Sea L4 vel is based on the maximum elevation at which facility flood control measures provide protection to safety-related equipment.

1 3/4.7.4 REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING SYSTEM The reactor core isolation cooling system (RCICS) is provided to assure .

adequate core cooling in the event of reactor teolation from its primary heat sink and the lose of feedwater flow to the reactor vessel without requiring actuation of any of the Emergency Core Cooling equipment. RCICS is conservatively required to be OPERABLE whenever reactor pressure exceeds 113 pois even though the Residual Meat Removal (RRR) systes provides adequate core.

cooling up to 150 peig. The condensate storage tank provides suf ficient water to reduce the reactor coolant temperature and pressure to permit the RRR systes .co be operated.

INSERT FOR BASES 3/4.7.1 i

l During the initial stage of a DBA (0 . 10 ainutes), the service ustor syctem i provides lube water and service water cooling to the diesel generators. The '

service water system design allows either unit's nuclear header to supply ;

diesel generator cooling water. Two pumps are necessary to supply sufficient j L'

flow to cool all four diesel generators under worst case scenarios while also {

supplying flow to other safety and non safety rc3ated components. Therefore, '

any combination of three operable nuclear service water pumps per site will meet the single failure criteria and assure diessi generator cooling. The t requirement for two operable nucienr service water pumps associatad with a unit in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2 or 3 and et least three operable nuclear -;

service water pumps per sit;e when one or both units are in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 or 5 ensures that ecergency diesel generator cooling requirements are met, i

After the initial ten minutes of a DBA, additional loads require cooling water. These_ loads include RHR and CS pump room coolers, RHR service water heat exchangers, and RHR pump seal heat exchangers. Evaluations have determined that the RHR pumps seals, as well as the equipment in rooms serviced by the V:tR and CS room coolers, remain within the manufacturers'

}

temperature limits for the first ten minutes of a DBA. To meet the additional '

loads during the post ten minute stage of a DBA, two service water pumps on the affected unit must be in service. In order to assure single failure criteria is met, the Technical Specificacion requires two operable .

conventional service water pumps per unit while in OPERATIONAL CONDITION 1, 2 or 3. ,

r As discussed above, when in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 and 5, the reduced core ;

decay heat load and the accessibility to the reactor building for manual operator action reduce the requirement for operable cervice water pumps after an accident / transient to one. The?* fore, when in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 or 5, two operable service water pumpe (any combination of nuclear and/or conventional) capable of supplying the nuclear header are required provided that there are at least three op;i:able nuclear service water pumps per site. ;

Maintaining two operable servlee water pumps (nuclear and/or conventional) on <

the Unit while in OPERATIONAL COND1 tit)NS 4 or 5 assures lon6+ erm cooling can be supplied, even after application of.the single failure criteria.

Stipulating at least three operable nuclear service water pumps per site assures diesel generator cooling will be available following any DBA, regardless of which Unit suffers the accident /trancient.

The allowed out of service times and compensatory measures established in the Action Statements are consistent with or more conservative than those of the existing Technical Specification 3.7.1.2. In particular, Action Statement a.2 for OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2, and 3 requires the unit to be in HOT SHUTDOWN

.within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months with no ll operable nuclear service water pumps. Analyses have been performed which demonstrate operation in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1 through 3 with no operable nuclear service water pumps is acceptable provided that at least two nuclear service' water pumps are operable on the opposite unit and two conventional B

INSERT FOR BASES 3/4.7.1 1

During the initial stage of a DBA (0 - 10 minutes), the service water system provides lube water and service water cooling to the diesel generators. The service water system design allows either unit's nuclear header to supply diesel generator cooling water. Two pumps are necessary to supply sufficient l flow to cool all four diesel Senerators under worst case scenarios while also ,

supplying flow to other safety and non safety related components. Therefore. ,

any combination of three operable nuclear service water pumps per site will '

meet the single failure criteria and assure diesel generator cooling. The requirement for two operable nuclear service water pumps associated with a unit in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2, or 3 and at least three operable nuclear service water pumps per site when one or both units are in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 or 5 ensures that emergency diesel generator cooling requirements are met.

After the initial ten minutes of a DBA, additional loads require cooling water. These loads include RHR and CS pump room coolers, RHR service water ,

heat exchangers, and RHR pump seal heat exchangers. Evaluations have determined that the RHR pumps seals, as well as the equipment in rooms l serviced by the RHR and CS room coolers, remain within the manufacturers' temperature limits for the first ten minutes of a DBA. To meet the additional loeds during the post-ten minute stage of a DBA, two service water pumps on the affected unit must be in service. In order to assure single failure criteria is met, the Technical Specification requires two operable conventional service water pumps per unit while in OPERATIONAL CONDITION 1, 2, or 3.

As discussed above, when in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 and 5, the reduced core decay heat load and the accessibility to the reactor building for manual operator action reduce the requirement for operable service water pumps after an accident / transient to one. Therefore, when in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 or 5, two operable service water pumps (any combination of nuclear and/or conventional) capable of supplying the nuclear header are required provided that there are at least three cperable nuclear service water pumps per site.

Maintaining two operable service water pumps (nuclear and/or conventional) on the Unit while in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 or 5 assures long-term cooling can be supplied, even after application of the single failure criteria.

Stipulating at least three operable nuclear service water pumps per site assures diesel generator cooling will be available following any DBA, regardless of which Unit suffers the accident / transient.

The allowed out of service times and compensatory measures established in the ActJan Statements are consistent with or more conservative than those of the ,

exiscing Technical Specification 3.7.1.2. In particular, Action Statement a.2 for_0PERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2, and 3 requires the unit to be in HOT SHUTDOWN within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months with no operable nuclear service water pumps. Analyses have been performed which demonstrate operation in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1 through 3 with no operable nuclear service water pumps is acceptable provided that at least two nuclear service water pumps are operable ou the opposite unit and two conventional
