~
equipment is avellable.Three RHR pumps in conjunction with the core spray subsystem will perform the core cooling function. Because of the availability of the majority of the core cooling equipment, whi.ch will be demonstrated to be operable, a 30. day repair period is justified. If the LPCI mode of the RHR -
system is not available, at least two RHR pumps must be available to fulfill the containment cooling' -..
function.The 7. day repair period is set on this basis.
B.
RHR Senice Water The containment cooling mode of the RHR system is provided to remove heat energy from the
' containment in the event of a loss.of. coolant accident. For the flow specified, the contair. ment long. term pressure is limited to less than 8 psig and is therefore more than ample to provide the required heat. removal capability (reference SAR Section 5.2.3.2).
The Containment Cooling mode of the RHR System consists of two loops.
Each loop consists of I Heat Exchanger, 2 RHR Pumps, and the associated valves, piping, electrical equipment, and instrumentation. The "B" loop on each unit contaira 2 RHR Service Water Pumps. During the period from November 24, 1981, to. July 1,1982, the "A" loop on each unit may utilize the " A" and "B" RHR Service Water Pumps from Unit 2 via a cross-tie line. ' Af ter July - 1, 1982, each "A" loop will' contain 2 RHR
~-
y Service Water Pumps.
Either set of equipment is capable of performing the containment cooling function. Loss of one RHR service water pump does not seriously jeopardize the containment
. cooling capability, as any one of the remaining three pumps can satisfy the cooling requirements. Since there is some redundancy left, a 30. day repair period is adequate. Loss of one loop of the containment cooling mode of the RHR system leaves one remaining system to perform the containment cooling function. The operable system is demonstrated to be operable each day when the above condition occurs.
Based on the fact that when one loop of the containment cooling mode of the RHR systera becomes inoperable, only one system remains, which is tested daily, a 7. day repair period was specified.
C.
High. Pressure Coolant Injection The high-pressure coolant injection subsystem is provided to adequately cool the core for all pipe breaks smaller than those for which the LPCI mode of the RHR system or core spray subsystems can protect the core.
De HPCI meets this requirement without the use ofoffsite electrical power. For the pipe breaks for which the HPCI is intended to function, the core never uncovers and is continuously cooled, thus no cladding damage occurs (reference SAR Section 6.2.5.3). The repair times for the limiting conditions of operation' were set considering the use of the HPCI as part of the isolation cooling system.
D. Automatic P. essure Relief De relief valv.es of the automatic pressure relief subsystem are a backup to the HPCI subsystem. ney
~
enable the core spray subsystem or LPCI mode of the RHR systcm to provide protection against the small pipe break in the event of HPCI failure by depressurizing the reactor vessel rapidly enough to actuate the core spr:y subsystems or LPCI mode of the RHR system. The core spray subsystem and/or the LPCI.,
mode of the RHR system provide sufficient flow of coolant tolimit fuelcladdingtemperaturestoless,than 2200*F, to assure that core geometry remains intact, to limit the core wide clad metal-water reaction to less than 1%, and to limit the calculated local metal. water reaction to less than 17%
Loss of 1 of the relief valves affects the pressure relieving capability and, therefore, a 7 day repair period is specifieJ. Loss of more than one relief valve significantly reduces the pressure relief capability,thus a 24. hour repair period is specified based on the HPCI system availability during this period.
E.
RCIC The RCIC system is p,vided to supply continuous makeup water to the reactor core when the reactor is isolated from the turbine and when the feedwater system is not available. Under these conditions the pumping capacity of the RCIC system is sufficient to maintainihe water level above the core withou't any other water system in operation. If the water level in the reac'or vessel decreases to the RCIC~ initiation t
level, the system automatically starts. He system may also be manually initiated at any time.

1-I 3.5 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION BASES A.
Core Spray and LPCI Mode of the RHR System N,
This specification assures that adequate emergency cooling capability is available.
K Based on the lossof coolant analyses included in References 1 and 2 and in accordance with 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K, core cooling systems provide sufficient cooling to the core to dissipate the energy j
2 associated with the loss of-coolant accident, to limit the calculated peak cladding temperature to less than i
2200 ' F, to assure that core geometry remains intact, to limit the corewide cladding meta! water reaction to less than 1% and to limit the calculated local metal water reaction to less than 17%
The allowable repair times are established so that the average risk rate for repair would be no greater than the basic risk rate.The method and concept are described in Reference 3. Using the results developed in this reference, the repair period is found to be less than half the test interval.This assumes that the 9
core spray subsystems and LPCI constitute a one-out of two system; however, the combined effect of th f
. two systems to limit excessive cladding temperature must also be considered. The test interval specified in Specification 4.5 was 3 months.Therefore, an allowable repair period which maintains the basic risk
{
considering single failures should be less than 30 days, and this specification is within this period. For t
multiple failures, a shorter interval is specified; to improve the assurance that the remaining systems w function, a daily test is called for. Although it is recognized that the information given in Reference 3 y
provides a quantitative triethod to estimate allowable repair times, the lack of operating data to support the analytical approach prevents complete acceptance of this method at this time. Therefore, the times 4
stated in the specific items were established with due regard to judgment.
e Should one core spray subsystem become inoperable, the remaining core spray subsystem and the entire LPCI mode of the RHR system are available should the need for core cooling arise.To assure that the remaining core spray, the LPCI mode of the RHR system, and the diesel generators are available, they are demonstrated to be operable immediately. This demonstration includes a manualinitiation of the pumps and associated valves and diesel generators. Based onjudgments of the reliability of the rem
. systems, i.e., the core spray and LPCI, a 7 day repair period was obtained.
4 Should the loss of one RHR pump occur, a nearly full complement of core and containment cooling equipment is available. Three RH R pumps in conjunction with the core spray subsystem will perform core cooling fur etion. Because of the availability of the majority of the core cooling equipment, which f
will be demonstrated to be operable, a 30-day repair period is justified. If the LPCI mode of the RHR
/.
~
system is not available, at least two RHR pumps must be available to fulfill the containment cooling function. The 7 day repair period is set on this basis.

The containment cooling mode of the RHR system is provided to remove heat energy from the containment in the event of a loss of-coolant accident. For the flow specified, the containment long term

pressure is limited to less than 8 psig and is therefore more than ample to provide the requ heat removal capability (reference SAR Section 5.2.3.2),
The Contain.nent Cooling mode of the RHR System consists of two loops.
Each loop consists of 1 Heat Exchanger, 2 RHR Pumps, and the associated valves, piping, electrical equipment, and instrumentation. The "B" loop on each unit contains 2 RHR Service Water Pumps. During the period from November 24, 1981, t o July 1, 1982, the "A" loop on each unit may utilize the " A" and "B" RHR Service Water Pumps from Unit 2 via a cross-tie line. Af ter July 1,1962, each "A" loop will contain 2 RHR Service Water Pumps.
Either set of equipment is capable of performing the containment cooling function. Loss of one RHR service water pump does not seriously jeopardize the containment j
h.
cooling capability, as any one of the remaining three pumps can satisfy the cooling requirements. Since 7
thefe is some redundancy left, a 30 day repair period is adequate. Loss of one loop of the containment 4
cooling mode of the RHR system leaves one remaining system to perform the containment cooling function. The operable system is demonstrated to be operable each day when the above condition occurs.
