3!4.4.3 RELIEF VALVES T"e power operated relief valves (PORVs) operate to relieve RCS pressure below the setting of the pressurizer code safety valves. These relief valves have remotely operated block valves to provide a positive shutoff capability should a relief valve become inoperable. The electrical power for both the relief valves and the block valves is capable of being supplied from an emergency power source to ensure the ability to seal this possible RCS leak- 8 age path.

[Ci, 0%

A steam bubble in the pressurizer with level as programmed ensures that the RCS is not a hydraulically soli ys, tem and is capable of accommo-dating pressure surges during operation . he lege=d lev b also protects the pressurizer code safety valves and power operated relief valve against water relief. The power operated relief valves function to relieve RCS .

pressure during all design transients. Operation of the power operated relief valve in conjunction with a reactor trip on a Pressurizer--Pressure-High signal, minimizes the undesirable opening of the spring-loaded pressurizar code safety valves.

The requirement.that 150 kw of pressurizar heaters and their associated l contrcls be capable of being supplied electrical . power from an emergency bus provides assurance that these heaters can be energized during a loss of off-site cower condition to maintain natural circulation at HOT STANDBY.

3/4.4.5 STEAM GENERATORS The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure tnat the structural integrity of this portion of the RCS will be maintained. The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 1.

ATTACMENT II The following study was perfomed to determine and justify Technical Specification limits for pressurizer level. The approach taken was to reanalyze the Loss of Load event and the Excessive Charging event to detemine the maximum pressurizer level and evaluate the Excess Load event to determine the minimum level. The Steam Generator Tube Rupture  :

event was also analyzed to detemine site boundary doses, which increase- i due to higher primary to secondary leak. '

The limiting pressurization event, Loss of Load (LOL),was analyzed such that the event initiated from a given pressurizer level does not cause the RCS pressure to exceed the design limit of 2750 psia. The Excessive Charging event initiated from a given pressurizer level was analyzed to assure that the operator has at least fifteen (15) minutes from initiation of a high pressurizer level alam to take corrective actions and terminate the event prior to filling the pressurizer solid. The maximum pressurizer level is then selected based on the results of the limiting event.

The limiting depressurization event, Excess Load, was analyzed to assure that the draining of the pressurizer and subsequent Reactor Vessel Upper Head (RVUH) voiding do not affect primary coolant circulation and do not result in exceeding fuel design limits. Hence, the Excess Load event was analyzed to determine the_ Technical Specification limit on the minimum pressurizer level.

1 Finally, a reanalysis of the Steam Generator Tube Ruputure evekt was performed to predict the increased site boundary doses, since the increased pressurizer level results in higher primary to secondary leah.

Detailed description and results of each analysis are attached. Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that:

1. Based on the analysis of the Excess Load event, a minimum pressurizer level of 270 ft3 (this level corresponds to the level required to cover pressurizer heaters) is acceptable.'

l

2. Based on the analysis of the Excess Charging event and the Loss of Load event, a range of maximum pressurizer level (915 ft3 to 975 ft3 )

is acceptable.

1. - Loss of Load Event A reanalysis of the Loss of Load Event was initiated at 975 ft3 in order to determine that the RCS pressure upset limit of 2750 psia is not exceeded. The transient DNBR was also evaluated to assess that the results are within the design limit of 1.23.

The assumptions used to maximize RCS pressure during the transient are:

a. The event is assumed to result from the sudden closure of the turbine stop ' valves without a simultaneous reactor trip. This assumption causes the greatest reduction 1 in the rate of heat removal from the reactor coolant system and thus results in the l most rapid increase in primary pressure and the closest approach to the RCS pressure upset limit.

1

b. The steam dump and bypass system, the pressurizer spray system, and the power operated pressurizer celief valves are assumed not to be operable. This too maximizes the primary system pressure reached during the transient.

The Loss of Load Event was initiated at the. conditions shown in Table 1-1. The combination of parameters shown maximizes the calculated peak RCS pressure. As can be inferred from the table, the key parameters for this event are the initial primary and l secondary pressures and the moderator and fuel temperature coefficients of reactivity.

l The initial core average axial power distribution for this analysis was assumed to be a bottom peaked shape. This distributica is assumed because it minimizes the negative reactivity inserted during the initial portion of the scram following a reactor trip and i maximizes the time required to mitigate the pressure The Moderator Temperature Coefficicat (MTC) of +0.5 x 10~gnd Ap / F washeatassumed flux increases. in this-t analysis. This MTC, in conjunction with the increasing coolant temperatures, maximizes-the rate of change of heat flux and the pressure at the time of reactor trip. A Fuel Temperature Coefficient (FTC) corresponding to beginning of cycle conditions was used in the analysis. This FTC causes the least amount of negative reactivity feedback to

, mitigate the transient increases in both the core heat flux and the pressure. The uncertainty on the FTC used in the analyses is shown in Table 1-1. The lower limit on initS1 RCS pressure is used to maximize the rate of change of pressu:e, and thus peak j - pressure, following trip.

The Loss of Load Event, initiated from the conditions given in Table 1-1 results in a high pressurizer pressure trip signal at 6.2 seconds. At 10.1 seconds, the primary pressure reaches its maximum value of 2617 psia. The increase in secondary pressure is limited by the opening of the main steam safety valves, which open at 5.8 seconds, the secondary pressure reaches its maximum value of 1047 psia at 10.6 seconds after initiation of the event.

, ' Table 1-2 presents the sequence of events for this event. Figures 1-1 to 1-4 show the transient behavior of power, heat flux, RCS pressure, and RCS coolant temperatures.

The event was also teanalyzed with the initial conditions listed in Table 1-3 to determine that the acceptable DNBR Limit is not. exceeded. The minimum transient DNBR calculated for the event is 1.34, compared to the design limit of 1.23.

l The results of this analysis deponstrate that during a Loss of Load Event, initiated from l a pressurizer level of 975 ft , the peak RCS pressure and the minimum DNBR do not exceed their respective design limits.

The time required to fill the pressurizer solid was calculated using

3. Excess Load Event The Excess Load event initiated at a pressurizer level of 270 ft 3was analyzed to evaluate the impact of reactor ressel upper head (RVUH) voiding on fuel design limits and on reactor coolant circulation. The analysis included the automatic initiation of auxiliary feedwater three minutes after initiation of reactor trip signal and a manual trip of the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) following a safety injection actuation signal (SIAS) due to low pressurizer pressure. The RCP coastdown results in a proportionately reduced RVUH flow until natural circulation is established; at that time all flow to the RVUH is assumed to terminate.

The Excess Load event is initiated by the instantaneous opening of steam dump and bypass valves which have a combined capacity of approximately 45% of the nominal full power steam flow. This Excess Load event persists until the steam generators are isolated on steam generator isolation signal (SGIS) due to low sm:ondary pressure. The full power event maxi-mizes primary cooldown, shrinkage and consequently RVUH voiding.

The magnitude of RVUH voiding at full power is significantly greater than at zero power because of the higher RVUH coolant temperatures and the larger primary coolant shrinkage that occurs at the higher system tem-peratures. Therefore, only the full power excess load transient results are described herein.

The key parameters assumed in the analysis are given in Table 3-1.

The analysis conservatively assumed a Moderator Temperature Coefficient of

+0.5x10-%o/*F. This MTC,in combination with decreasing coolant temperatures; inserts negative reactivity and causes the core power to decrease. The decreasing core power does not allow either the High Power trip or TM/LP trip to be initiated,and thus the time of reactor trip is delayed until a low pressurizer pressure trip (i.e., floor of the TM/LP j trip) is generated. The longer time required to initiate reactor trip causes the pressurizer to drain and thus maximizes RVUH voiding.

The analysis conservatively assumed that all three charging pumps were inoperable and that one High Pressure Safety. Injection (HPSI) pump fails to start on SIAS due to low pressurizer pressure.

The effect of auxiliary feedwater was explicitly evaluated by analyzing the event both with and without auxiliary feedwater initiated three minutes after reactor trip signal is generated. An auxiliary feedwater flow of 172 lbm/see to each steam generator is conservatively assumed (i.e.,10.5% of full power main feedwater flow per generator). The maximum auxiliary feedwater flow causes the fastest primary cooldown and thus enhances the bubble fonnation in .the upper head.

1

+~ .-v,----.- , .. - ~, , - , _ ,

This analysis shows that some RVUH voiding will occur as a result of the

, RCS depressurization caused by an Excess Load transient. Voiding the RVUH starts when RCS pressure control is lost due to the primary coolant

! shrinkage which drains the pressurizer. During the period of RVUH voiding, RCS pressure is controlled by the saturation pressure within the upper ,

head. This reduces the RCS depressurization in the latter part of the I transient as compared to analyses which do not explir.itly model RVUH voids.

RVUH coolant temperatures initially follow the core outlet temperatae and therefore decrease innedtately following a reactor trip. The decrease in RVUH coolant flow reduces the convective heat transfer and inhibits upper head cooldown. This leads to elevated RVUH coolant temperatures which raise the upper head saturation pressure and therefore increase RCS pressure during the period of voiding. The increased RCS pressure does not adversely impact the approach to any SAFDL; however, safety injection flow is decreased. The reduced safety injection flow does not result in a return to criticality; however, the decreased flow diminishes the mitigating effect of safety injection on coolant shrinkage and there-fore enhances voiding. Subsequent RYUH cooldown is accomplished through an exchange of coolant between the RVUH and the core outlet plenum.

This exchange of coolant is driven by the expansion and contraction of the steam '..cbble. Additional RVUH cooling is accomplished through heat conduction across the upper guide structure. ,

At the time of maximum RVUH voiding approximately 63% of the head is

. occupied by steam. Since this steam bubble does not expand beyond the upper head, primary coolant circulation is unaffected. Tables 3-2 and 3-3 present the sequence of events for the event initiated without and with auxiliary feedwater flow. Figures 3-1 through 3-14 present the transient behavior of the system variables during the event. The analysis demonstrates that the addition of auxiliary feedwater prolongs the duration of RVUH voiding and delays repressurization of the RCS. However, since '

auxiliary feedwater is delivered after the time of maximum voidingj the peak void fraction is unchanged.

In conclusion, the potential RVUH voiding associated with an Excess Load -

transient initiated from a pressurizer level of 270 ft3 does not extend beyond the upper head and therefore will not affect primary coolant circulation.. In addition, approach to SAFDLs are not impacted by RVUH yoiding. The results of the analysis also shows that the NSSS achieves stable conditions and that shutdown cooling procedures can be initiated if deemed necessary.

~4. Steam Generator Tube Rupture Event j The Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) event was analyzed te verify that l the site boundary doses will not exceed the guidelines of 10CFR100 for the event initiatad from a pressurizer level of 975 ft .3 The analysis included the effects of manually tripping the Reactor Coolant Pumps on SIAS due to low pressurtzer pressure.

The design basis ! IR is a double ended break of one steam generatur U-tube.

Table 4-1 lists the key transient related parameters used in this analysis.

In the analysis, it is assumed that the initial RCS pressure is as high as 2300 psia. This initial RCS pressure maximizes the amount of primary coolant transported to the secondary steam system since the leak rate is directly proportional to the difference between the primary and secondary pressure.

In addition, the higher pressure delays the lower pressurizer pressure trip

, which prolongs the transient and therefore maximizes the total primary to secondary mast and activities transported.

For this event, the acceptable DNBR limit is not exceeded due to tne action i of the Thermal Margin / Low Pressure (TM/LP) trip which provides a reactor

trip to maintain the DNBR above 1.23. Since the SGTR event does not signifi-cantly affect the core power distribution, the PLHGR SAFDL is not approached.

The Thermal Margin / Low Pressure trip, with conservative coefficients which account for the limiting radial and axial peaks, maximum inlet temperature, RCS pressure, core power, and conservative CEA scram characteristics, would be the primary RPS trip intervening during the course of the transient.

However, to maximize the coolant transported from the primary to the secondary and thus the radioactive steam releases to the atmosphere, the analysis was perfonned assuning the reactor does not trip until the minimum setpoint (floor) of the Thennal Margin / Low Pressure trip is reached. This prolongs the steam releases to the atmosphere and thus maximizes the site boundary '

doses.

Tne Steam Generator Tube Rupture was analyzed assuming a manual trip of reactor coolant pumps on Safety Injection Actuation Signal (SIAS).

The Stear Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) with RCS trip on SIAS results in higher site boundary doses because: (1) RCP coastdown increases pressure difference between the primary and the secendary, '

which increases the leak rate, and (2) RCP coastdown decreases the rate of decay heat removal,which increases the steam flow through the atmospheric dump valves.

l The Sequence of Events for the SGTR event with manual trip of RPC on SIAS l 1s presented in Table 4-2. Figures 4-1 through 4-5 present the transient behavior of core power, heat flux, RCS pressure, RCS temperatures', and steam generator pressure.

I-131 activity release is based on the primary to secondary leak and on the steam flow required to reach cold shutdown conditions. This release is calculated as the product of steam flow, the time dependent steam activity and the decontamination factors applicable to each release pathway.

The O to 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> I-131 site boundary does, is calculated from:

I I 31 DOSE (REM)

= A 31*BRxgxCF c

I where:

AI -131 , g,.31 activity released BR = breathing rate x/Q = dispersion coefficient CFI -131 = I-131 dose conversion factor In detemining the whole body dose, the major assumption made is that all  !

noble gases leaked through the ruptured tube will be released to the atmo-sphere. Therefore, the whole body dose is propsrtional to the total primary to secondary leak and is calculated using the following equation.

Whole Body Dose = [.25 (T + $ E,)]

• L*A RCS *k where:

f, ' = average energy release _ by gama decay Eg = average energy release by beta decay L = total primary to secondary mass transport ,

ARCS = noble gas activity of primary coolant x/Q = dispersion coefficient The results of the analysis are that 85616 lbs. of primary cool nt are transported to the steam generator secondary side. Based on this mass transport and values in Table 4-3, the site boundary doses calculated are:

Thyroid (DEQ I-131) = 0.34 REM I

Whole Body (DEQ Xe-133) = 0.18 REM The reactor protective system (TM/LP) is adequate to protect the core from exceeding the DNBR limit. The doses resulting from the activity released as a consequence of a double-ended impture of one steam generator tube, assuming the maximum allowable Tech Spec activity for the primary concen-tration at a core power of 2754 MWt, are significantly below the guidelines of 10CFR100.
