3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION The reactor protection system automatically initiates a reactor scram to:

a.

Preserve the integrity of the fuel cladding.

b.

Preserve the integrity of the reactor coolant system.

Minimize the energy which must be adsorbed following a loss-of-c.

coolant accident, and d.

Prevent inadvertent criticality.

This specification provides the limiting conditions for operation necessary to preserve the ability of the system to perform its intended function even during periods when instrument channels may be out of service because of maintenance. When necessary, one channel may be made inoperable for brief intervals to conduct required surveillance.

The reactor protection system is made up of two independent trip systems.

There are usually four channels to monitor each parameter with two channels in each trip system. The outputs of the channels in a trip system are combined in a logic so that either channel will trip that trip system. The tripping of both trip systems will produce a reactor scram.

The system meets the intent of IEEE-279, 1971, for nuclear power plant protection systems.

Specified surveillance intervals for MSIV-Closure, TSV-Closure, TCV-Closure, and the i

Manual Scram have been determined in accordance with NEDC-30851P-A, " Technical Specification Improvement Analyses for BWR Reactor Protection System", March 1988.

The bases for the trip settings of the RPS are discussed in the bases for Specification 2.2.1.

The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the protective functions associated with each channel are com-pleted within the time limit assumed in the accident analysis. No credit was taken for those channels with response times indicated as not applicable.

Response time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential, overlapping or total channel test measurement, provided such tests demonstrate the total channel response time as defined. Sensor response time verification may be demonstrated by either (1) inplace, onsite or offsite test measurements, or (2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times.

LA SALLE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 3-1 AMENDMENT NO. 95 4

-a INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.4 RECIRCVLATION PUMP TRIP ACTVATION INSTRUMENTATION The anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) recirculation pump trip system provides a means of limiting the consequences of the unlikely occurrence of a failure to scram during an anticipated transient.

The response of the plant to this postulated event falls within the envelope of study events in General Electric Company Topical Report NED0-10349, dated March 1971 and NED0-24222, dated December,1979, and Appendix G of the FSAR.

The end-of-cycle recirculation pump trip (E0C-RPT) system is a part of the Reactor Protection System and is an essential safety supplement to the reactor trip. The purpose of the E0C-RPT is to recover the loss of thermal margin which occurs at the end-of-cycle. The physical phenomenon involved is that the void reactivity feedback due to a pressurization transient can add positive reactivity to the reactor system at a faster rate than the control rods add negative scram reactivity.

Each E0C-RPT system trips both recircula-4 tion pumps, reducing coolant flow in order to reduce the void collapse in the core during two of the most limiting pressurization events.

The two events for which the E0C-RPT protective feature will function are closure of the turbine stop valves and fast closure of the turbine control valves.

A generic analysis, which provides for continued operation with one or both trip systems of the E0C-RPT system inoperable, has been performed. The analysis determined bounding cycle independent MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO (MCPR) Limiting Condition for Operation (LC0) values which must be used if the E0C-RPT system is inoperable.

These values ensure that adequate reactivity margin to the MCPR safety limit exists in the event of the analyzed transient with the RPT function inoperable.

The analysis results are further discussed in the bases for Specification 3.2.3.

A fast closure sensor from each of two turbine control valves provides input to the E0C-RPT system; a fast closure sensor from each of the other two turbine control valves provides input to the second E0C-RPT system.

Similarly, a position switch for each of two turbine stop valves provides input to one E0C-RPT system; a position switch from each of the other two stop valves provides input to the other E0C-RPT system.

For each E0C-RPT system, the sensor relay contacts are arranged to form a 2-out-of-2 logic for the fast closure of turbine control valves and a 2-out-of-2 logic for the turbine stop valves. The operation of either logic will actuate the E0C-RPT system and trip both recirculation pumps.

Each E0C-RPT system may be manually bypassed by use of a keyswitch which is administratively controlled. The manual bypasses and the automatic Operating Bypass at less than 30% of RATED THERMAL POWER are annunciated in the control room.

Specified surveillance intervals have been determined in accordance with the following:
