l SAFETY LIMITS BASES

q. <.

3 o

For each curve of BASES Figure 2.1, a pressure-temperature point above and to the lef t of the curve would result in a DNBR greater than 1.30 or a local quality at the point of minimum DNBR less than 22%. for that particular reactor coolant pump situation.

The 1.30 DNBR curve for three pump coeration is more restrictive than any other reactor coolant pump situation because any pressure / temperature point above and to the left of the three pump curve will be above and to the left of the other curves.

2.1.3 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE The restriction of this Safety Limit protects the integrity of the Reactor Coolant System from overpressurization and thereby prevents the release of radionuclides contained in the reactor coolant from reaching the containment atmosphere.

The reactor pressure vessel' and pressurizer are designed. to Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code which permits a maximum transient pressure of 110%, 2750 psig, of design pressure. The Reactor Coolant System piping, valves and fittings, are designed to USAS S 31.7, February,1968 Oraf t Edition, which permits a maximum transient pressure of 110%, 2750 psig, of component design pressure.

The Safety Limit of 2750 psig is therefore consistent with the design criteria and associated code requirements.

The entire Reactor Coolant System is hydrotested at 3125 psig,125%

of design pressure, to demonstrate integrity prior to initial operation.

CRYSTAL RIVER - UNIT 3 B 2-3 Amendment No. 34P, 41

2.2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS The Reactor Protection System Instrumentation Trip Setpoint specified in Table 2.2-1 are the values at which the Reactor trips are set for each parameter.

The Trip Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the reactor core and reactor coolant system are prevented from exceeding their safety limits. Operation with a trip setpoint less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that the difference between each Trip Setpoint and the Allowable Value is equal to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

The Shutdown Bypass provides for bypassing certain functions of the Reactor Protection System in order to permit control rod drive tests, zero power PHYSICS TESTS and certain startup and shutdown procedures. The purpose of the Shutdown Bypass RCS Pressure-High trip is to prevent normal operation with Shutdown Bypass activated. This high pressure trip setpoint is lower than the normai low pressure trip setpoint so that the reactor must be tripped before the bypass is initiated. The Nuclear ove power Trip Setpoint of.1 5.0% prevents any significant reactor power from being produced.

Sufficient natural circulation would be available to remove 5.0% of RATED THERMAL POWER if none of the reactor coolant pumps were operating.

Manual Reactor Trip The Manual Reactor Trip is a redundant channel to the automatic Reactor Protection System instrumentation channels and provides manual reactor trip capability.

Nuclear Overpower A Nuclear Overpower trip at high power level (neutron flux) provides reactor core protection against reactivity excursions which are too rapid to be protected by temperature and pressure protective circuitry.

During normal station operation, reactor trip is initiated when the reactor power level reaches 94.3% of rated power. Due to calibration and instrument errors, the maximum actual power at which a trip would be actuated could be 101.9% which was used in the safety analysis.

RCS Outlet Temperature - High The RCS Outlet Temperature High trip

_ 6180F prevents the reactor outlet temperature from exceeding the design limits and acts as a backup trip for all power excursion transients.

Nuclear Overpower Based on RCS Flow and AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE The power level trip setpoint produced by the reactor coolant system flow is based on a flux-to-flow ratio which has been established to accommodate flow decreasing transients from high power.

The power level trip setpoint produced by the power-to-flow ratio provides both high power level and low flow protection in the event the reactor power level increases or the reactor, coolant flow rate decreases. The power level setpoint produced by the power-to-flow ratio provides overpower DNB protection for all modes of pump operation. For every flow rate there is a maximum permissible power level, and for every power level there is a minimum permissible low flow rate. Typical power level and low flow rate combinations for the pump situations of Table 2.2-1 are as follows:

1.

Trip would occur when four reactor coolant pumps are operating if power is 196.5% and reactor flow rate is 100%, or flow rate is $_93.69% and power level is 90.41%.

2.

Trip would occur when three reactor coolant pumps are operating if power is -

> 79.92?4 and reactor flow rate is 74.7%, or flow rate is < 70.09% 'and power is 75%. Operation with three reactor coolant pumps with RCPPM's bypassed is not permitted.

i For safety calculations the maximum calibration and instrumentation errors for the power level were used.

The AXIAL POWER IMSALANCE bcundaries are established in order to prevent reactor thermal limits frem being exceeded.

These thermal limits are either power peaking kw/f t limits or DNBR limits.

The AXIAL POWER IM-l SALANCE reduces the ;cwer level trip produced by the flux-to-ficw ratio I

such that the bcundaries of Figure 2.2-1 are produced. The flux-to-flew ratio reduces the pcwer level trip and associated reactor pcwer-reactor pcwer-imoalance boundaries by 1.07% for a 1% flew reduction.

RCS pressure - Lcw, High, and Variable Lcw The High and Low trips are provided to limit the pressure range in which reactor Operation is permitted.

During a slow reactivity insertion startup accident frcm 1cw power or a slow reactivity insertion frca high power, the RCS Pressure-High set-point is reached before the Nuclear Overpower Trip Se point. The trip setpoint for RCS Pressure-High, 2300 psig, has been established to main-tain the system pressure belcw the safety limit, 2750 psig, for any 'de-sign transient. The RCS Pressure-High trip is backed up by the pressur-izer code safety valves for RCS over pressure protecticn and is 4here-fore, set lower than the set pr. essure for these valves, 2500 psig. The RCS Pressure-High trip also backs up the Nuclear Overpewer trip.

The RCS Pressure-Low, 1500 psig, and RCS Pressure-Variable Lew,

.(11.59 Teut *F - 5037 8) psig Trip Set;cints have been established to

...aintain.the DNS ratio Sreater than or equal to 1.30 for those design accidents that result in a pressure reduction.

It also prevents reactor operation at pressures celcw the valid range of CN3 correlatien limits, protecting agains DNB.

Due to the calibraticn and ins rumentaticn errers, ne safety analysis used a RCS Pressure-Variable Lew Trip Setpcint Of (11.59 Teut

LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Reactor Containment Vessel Pressure - High The Reactor Containment Vessel Pressure-High Trip Setpoint 6 4 psig, provides positive assurance that a reactor trip will occur in the unlikely event of a steam line failure in the containment vessel or a loss-of-coolant accident, even in the absence of a RCS Pressure - Low trip.

Reactor Coolant Pumo Power Monitors In conjunction with the power / imbalance / flow trips, the Reactor Coolant Pump Power Monitors trip prevents the minimum core DNBR from decreasing below 1.30 by tripping the reactor due to more than one reactor coolant pump not operating.

A reactor coolant pump is considered to be not operating when the power required by the pump is 7.120% or is s 70% of the nominal operating power. The nominal operating power decreases from when a pump is first started during heatup and is pumping dense fluid (typically 7500 KW) to when a pump is operating at full reactor power and is pumping less dense fluid (typically 5500KW).

In order to avoid spurious trips during normal operation, the 120% trip setpoint (9000KW) is based on the nominal operating power for a pump during heatup and the 70% trip setpoint (3900KW) is based on the nominal operating power for a pump operating at full reactor power. Florida Power has agreed to take credit for the pump overpower trip in order to assure that certain potential faults such as a seismically induced fault high signal will not prevent this instrumentation from providing the i

protective action (i.e., a trip signal).
