initiation signals are provided by Analog Trip Modules (ATM) that are located in the SSLC cabinets.

t There is an ATM in each division for each of the functions.

The ATMs are connected directly to the sensors in the division associated with the ATM. The outputs of all four ATMs are connected to four logic units (one in each division) using suitable isolation. Each logic unit uses 2 out of 4 logic to create initiation signals. The SRNM ATWS permissive function will permit initiation only when power level is above a specified value. The initiation signals from the four logic units are connected to a series / parallel arrangement of load drivers such that an initiation signal i

l from only two of the logic units will cause actuation of the ATWS mitigation features.

SSLC

SUMMARY

The SSLC is a complex of equipment and software that supports a variety of Functions and Features in a variety of configurations. Table B3.3.1.1-1 is a summary of the SSLC functions and the protective equipment supported by the Functions along with the LC0 actions applicable to the Functions.

APPLICABLE The actions of the SSLC are assumed in the safety analyses SAFETY ANALYSIS, of References 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, and 11. The SSLC initiates LCO, and appropriate protective actions when a monitored parameter is APPLICABILITY outside of a specified Allowable Value to preserve the integrity of the fuel cladding, the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary (RCPB), and the containment. The Allowable Values given in Table 3.3.1.1-1 are calculated using a prescribed setpoint methodology. The SSLC provides initiation signals for RPS, ECCS and plant isolation.

SSLC instrumentation satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

Functions not specifically credited in the ABWR SSAR analysis are retained for the overall redundancy and (continued)

in peak fuel energy depositions below the fuel failure threshold criterion.

The SRNMs are also capable of limiting other reactivity excursions during startup, such as cold water injection events, although no credit is specifically assumed.

The ten SRNM fixed in-core regenerative fission chambers are each connected to electronics suitable for monitoring neutron flux for power levels up to 15% RTP. The SRNM detectors are evenly distributed throughout the core and are located slightly above the fuel mid-plane. The SRNM's are assigned to the four Neutron Monitoring System (NMS) divisions as follows:

l l

Division I: SRNM Detectors A, E & J Division II: SRNM Detectors B & F Division III: SRNM Detectors C, G & L 1

Division IV: SRNM Detectors D & H For each division, a high flux, short period, or IN0P trip from any one SRNM channel will result in a trip signal from that division. The SRNM trip data is transmitted to the TLUs in the SSlC.

l The SRNM channels are divided into three bypass Groups. One channel from each Group may be bypassed using three bypass switches on the operators console (i.e. bypass of up to three channels). The Groups are arranged so there is at least one unbypassed channel in each division and one unbypassed channel in each core quadrant. The SRNMS are assigned to the bypass Groups as follows:

Group 1: SRNM A, B, F, G Group 2: SRNM C, E, H Group 3: SRNM D, J, L (continued)

1 Operability of the SRNM function of the SSLC also requires at least one OPERABLE SRNM channel in each core quadrant.

During some low power plant conditions the ATWS trips could interfere with normal plant maneuvering and cause unnecessary stress on plant equipment. In order to prevent l

the risks associated with the stresses, and to confirm that l

low neutron flux levels.

The SRNM ATWS Permissive Function is used in some of the systems that implement ATWS Functions to permit initiation of ATWS functions' when the power level as detected by the SRNM is greater that the Allowable Value. When all of the SRNM channels indicate that power level is less than the Allowable Value then the permissive is removed and all ATWS trips are automatically bypassed.

specifically credited in any ABWR SSAR analysis, but it is retained for the overall redundancy and diversity of the RPS as required by the NRC approved licensing basis.

O 1his Function is provided by seif test and other monitoring features and is a discrete signal so there is no Allowable Value for this function.

The APRM divisions receive input signals from the local i

power range monitors (LPRM) within the reactor core to provide an indication of the power distribution and local l

power changes. The APRM divisions average these LPRM signals to provide a continuous indication of average reactor power from a few percent to greater than Rated Thermal Power (RTP).

For operation at low power (i.e.,

MODE 2), the Average Power Range Monitor Neutron Flux-High/Setdown Function is capable of generating a trip signal that prevents fuel damage resulting from abnormal l

operating transients in this power range.

Manual RPS Scram i

The Manual Scram push buttons are completely independent of i

and isolated from the RPS automatic trip divisions. This Function was not specifically credited in the accident analysis, but it is retained for.the overall redundancy and diversity of the RPS as required by the NRC approved licensing basis.

There are two independent manual scram switches, one in

[

division 11 and one in division III. Each switch removes power from one set of scram solenoids and energizes one of the air header dump valves so the function completely bypasses the automatic scram logic divisions. Both switches must be activated to cause a scram.

Two divisions of Reactor Mode Switch--Shutdown Position Function are available and required to be OPERABLE.

5. Manual MSIV Actuation The Manual Initiation push button Function provides signals to the OLU in each division that are redundant to the automatic protective instrumentation and provide manual isolation capability. There is no specific ABWR SSAR safety analysis that takes credit for this Function.

It is retained for overall redundancy and diversity of the isolation function as required by the NRC in the plant licensing basis.

Thera are four MSIV manual actuation pushbuttons. The data is routed directly to the OLUs for the MSIVs so this function bypasses the EMS, DTMs and TLUs.

Pressing any two of the four manual pushbuttons will cause i

isolation of all four steam lines. There is no Allowable Value for this Function since the channels are mechanically actuated based solely on the position of the push buttons.

i ACTIONS A Note has been provided to modify the ACTIONS related to l

RPS and MSIV Actuation channels.

Section 1.3, Completion i

Times, specifies that once a Condition has been entered, i

subsequent trains, subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be inoperable or -

l not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition.

Section 1.3 also specifies that Required j

Actions of the Condition continue to apply for each i

additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial i

entry into the Condition.

However, the Required Actions for inoperable RPS and MSIV Actuation channels provide appropriate compensatory measures for multiple inoperable channel s. As such, a Note has been provided that allows i

separate Condition entry for each inoperable RPS'or MSIV Actuation channel.

These Adions assure that appropriate compensatory measures I

are taken @en one LOGIC CHANNEL or MSIV manual channel

[

becomes inopa sble. For these Functions, a failure in one channel will caue the actuation logic to become 1/3 or 2/3 depending on the nature of the failure ( i.e failure which causes a channel trip vs. a failure which does not cause a channel trip). Therefore, an additional single failure will i

not result in loss of protection.

Action A.1 forces a trip condition in the inoperable i

division which causes the initiation logic to become 1/3 for the Function. In this condition a single additional failure will not result in loss of protection and the availability of the Function to provide a plant protective action is at least as high as 2/4 trip logic. Since plant protection capability is within the design basis no further action is j

required when the inoperable channel is placed in trip.

Action A.2.1 bypasses the inoperable division which causes the logic to become 2/3 so a single failure will not result in loss of protection.or cause a spurious initiation. Since overall redundancy is reduced, operation in this condition f

is permitted only for a limited time. Action A.2.2.1 2

restores the inoperable channel. Action A.2.2.2 repeats Action A.1 if repairs are not made within the allowable t

Completion Time of Action A.2.2.1. Either of the Actions A.2.2.1 or A.2.2.2 places plant protection capability within the design basis so no further action is required.

The Completion Time of six hours for implementing Actions A.1 and A.2.1 is based on providing sufficient time for the l

l operator to determine which of the actions is appropriate.

The Completion Time is acceptable because the probability of an event requiring the Function, coupled with failures that would defeat two other channels associated with the Function, occurring within that time period is quite low.

The self-test features of the SSLC provide a high degree of confidence that no undetected failures wC1 occur within the i

allowable Completion Time.

l Implementing Action A.2.1 provides confidence that Plant protection is maintained (2/3 logic) for an additional single instrument failure. However, with division I or III in bypass, a loss of the division 11 power supply could disable two of the remaining channels. Therefore, operation with one division in bypass is restricted to 30 days (Actions A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 Completion Time). The probability of an event requiring the Function coupled with undetected failures which cause the loss of two of the remaining OPERABLE divisions in the Completion Time is quite low. The self-test features of the SSLC provide a high

+

degree of confidence that no undetected failures will occur within the allowable Completion Time.

B.I. B.2. and B.3 Condition B occurs if two LOGIC CHANNELS or MSIV manual channels become inoperable in a fashion that does not result in an Actuation. In this Condition, the actuation logic could become 2/2. Therefore, it is appropriate to place one division in trip (Action B.1) and the other in TLU output bypass (Action B.2). The trip logic then becomes 1/2 so a single f ailure in the remaining operable divisions would not cause loss of protection. However, a single failure in one of the operable divisions could result in a spurious trip.

The Completion Times for implementing Actions B.1 and B.2 is based on providing adequate time for the operator to (continued)

implement the Required Actions. The Completion Times are acceptable because the probability of cn event requiring the Function, coupled with a failure in one or two of the other channels associated with the function, occurring within that time period is quite low.

Action B.3 restores at least one of the failed channels to OPERABLE status. A Completion Time of 30 days is permitted for this Action. The basis for the Completion Time is as given for Action A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 since the plant protective action capability is similar. ion based on the low probability of an undetected failure in both of the OPERABLE channels for the Function occurring in that time period. The self-test features of the SSLC provide a high degree of confidence that no undetected failures will occur within the allowable Completion Time.

Multiple entry into the condition table causes Condition A to be invoked on completion of Action B.3 so appropriate additional action is taken.

C.1 & C.2 This Condition applies when three LOGIC CHANNELS for the same Function or three MSIV manual initiation channels become inoperable. This Condition represents a case where intended protective action from a Function is 1/1 (one channels fails tripped) or is completely unavailable.

Action C.1 forces the initiation logic to become 1/1 so a protective Action from the Function is still available but the single failure criteria for plant protective action is not met.

Action C.2 causes restoration of a second channel for the Function so the initiation logic becomes 1/2 and plant protection is maintained for a single additional failure.

The six hour Completion Time for C.2 provides a reasonable amount of time to effect repairs on at least on of the inoperable channels and avoid the risks associated with plant shutdown.
