Bases:

The core spray system consists of two automatically actuated independent double capacity piping headers capable of cooling reactor fuel for a range of loss of Coolant Accidents.

Either system by itself is capable of providing adequate cooling for postulated large breaks in all locations. When adequate depressurization rates are achieved in the postulated small-break situation, either core spray system provides adequate cooling.

For the largest possible pipe break, a flow rate of approximately 400 gpm is required after about 45 seconds. Adequate core cooling is assured when the primary core spray flow is'

/

2 292 gpm or the back-up core spray flow is 2 296 gpm.

/

Each core spray system has 100% cooling capacity from each spray header and each pump set.

Thus, speci fying both systems to be fully operational will assure, to a high degree, core cooling if the core spray system is required.

In addition, the primary core spray is required to be operable during refueling operations to provide fuel cooling in the unlikely event of an inadvertent draining of the reactor vessel. Water flow from the fire suppression system for fire suppression or for normal uses and testing for which the time and flow are restricted has a negligible effect on availability and is not a cause for declaring the systems inoperable.

The core spray systems receive their water supply from the plant fire system.

The plant fire system supply is_from Lake Michigan via two redundant 1,000 gpm fire pumps, one electric and one diesel driven.

Performance

/

. curves'for the pumps were developed using FLOWNET computer code of the ECCS System.

Evaluation of the most

/

limiting ECCS failures concludes adequate core cooling is achieved under these conditions.

These pumps start

/

automatically on decaying fire system pressure.

If a passive failure of underground fire main piping should occur during the long-term cooling phase, the capability exists to bypass the affected portion of piping utilizing a ' fire hose to ensure the continuation of long-term ECCS cooling.

The core spray recirculation system is provided to prevent excessive water buildup in the containment sphere and to provide for long-term, post-accident cooling.

The system consists of two pumps.(400 gpm each) and a heat exchanger.

The pumps take a suction from the lower levels of containment and discharge.to the core spray headers.

The system is actuated manually when the water level in the containment rises to elevation 587 feet. The 587-foot elevation will be achieved between 6 to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> operation of one core spray and one containment spray system.

A test tank and appropriate valving is provided in the core spray recirculation system so the pump suction conditions and the flow characteristics of the system can be periodically tested.

I One core spray recirculation pump has adequate capacity to provide fuel cooling at any time following a Loss of Coolant Accident.

Continuous containment spray operation is not required during the post-accident recirculation phase if only one recirculation pump is available.
