Page 4tof 4 tREACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS (Continued)

. _ Following the generation-of pressure-temperature curves for both the steady state and finite heatup rate situations, the final _ limit curves are produced as follows. A composite curve is constructed based on1a point-by-point comparison of the steady-state and finite heatup rate data. . At any given temperature,-the allowable pressure is taken-to be the lesser of the three values.taken from the curves under consideration.

The use of the composite curve is necessary to set conservative heatup . l

' limitations because it is possible for conditions to exist such that over the ccurse of the heatup ramp ;the controlling condition switches from the inside to the outside and the pressure limit must at all times be based on analysis of the most critical. criterion.

Although the pressurizer operates in temperature ranges above those for which there-is reason for concern of nonductile failure, operating limits are provided to assure compatibility of operation with the fatigue analysis performed in accordance with the ASME Code requirements.

The OPERABILITY of two PORVs, or two RHR suction relief valves, or an RCS vent opening of at least 2 square inches ensures that the RCS will be protected from pressure transients which could exceed the limits of Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50 when one or more of the RCS cold legs are less than or equal to 368 F.

' Either_ PORV or either RHR suction relief. valve has adequate relieving capability to protect the RCS from overpressurization when the transient is limited to

-either: (1) the start of an idle RCP with the secondary water temperature of

-the steam. generator less then or equal to 50 F above the RCS cold leg tempera-tures,:or (2) the start of a centrifugal charging pump and its injection-into a water solid RCS.
