.w-LGS FSAR QUESTION 410.39 (Section 9.1.3)

FSAR Figure 9.1-3 shows valve number 1007 as a 10" seismic Category I, normally open, manual isolation valve. This valve is connected to the non-seismic Category I spent fuel pool cooling system. In order to maintain cooling of the spent fuel pool following a seismic event, i t appears necessary to manually close valve 1007 and open valve 1006. Provide a discussion of the environmental conditions associated with the pipe break in the nonseismic Category I line with respect to personnel access to close valve 1007 and open valve 1006 (to the RHR), the effect of internal flooding until the pipe is isolated and the effect on pool cooling during the time necessary to accomplish the valve operations.

LGS FSAR QUESTION 410.41 (Section 9.1.3)

Assuming a moderate energy leakage crack in the common spent fuel pool cooling pump discharge line with the reactor at full power, provide the time required to re-initiate cooling via the RHR cooling system and the maximum spent fuel pool water temperature attained during that time. Verify that the reactor will be in cold shutdown prior to dedication of the RHR to cool the spent ,a fuel.

RESPONSE P i

As stated in Section 9.1.3.2.3, administrative contro;.s prevent the use of the RHR system intertie to cool the spent fuel pool unless the associated reactor is shutdown. As discussed in Section 9.1.3.6, if the fuel pool heat exchangers are not available, the water in the spent fuel pool could start boiling before cooling can be re-initiated via the RHR system This conservatively assumes that it would take 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> tolshut-down tho reacMr, realign valves, adjust the spent fuel ' pool weir, and install the interconnecting piping between the RHR system and the fuel pool cooling system (Section 5.4.7.1.1). If boiling does occur and the RHR intertie is not available, makeup water will be supplied to the pool as described in Section 9.1.3.2.3.

As described in Section 9.2.6,the Ultimate Heat Sink for IES is an excavated spray pond with a surface area of 9.6 acres. Four spray networks, each having 501 capacity for shutdown of two units,are provided.

Details of the spray pond excavatico and finished grading are shown in Figures 3.8-55, 56, 57. 2e general arrangernent of the spray pond, spray networks, and spray pond punp structure is shown in Figure 9.2-6.

S e layout of the spray networks is shown in Figure 9.2-7.

As discussed in Section 3.5.1.4, all essential structures, systems, and caponents related to the ESW systs, RHRSW systs, and the UPS are protected frm, the effects of tornadoes and tornado missiles. protection of the spray networks is provided by location of the network piping and sprays below the surrounding grade and by physical separation of the

' networks: a)In all but the spillway area, the surrounding grade is in excess of tha El. 260' while the top of the sprays are at El. 25t' and the spray network piping is between El. 253'g" and El. 256'8". 6)he closest branches of adjacent spray networks a'fe separated by 65 feet.

c) he supply piping to Mjacent networks is separated by 215 feet.4)The frm the edge of the pond.

-. networks are located at a minimrn distance of (K.-- 'ZE.fut

% e use of elevational differences and physical separation to provide protecticn of the spray pond networks frm tornado missiles is justified by the following considerations:

1) Only tw spray networks are required for the safe shutdown of both units.
2) We only active failure which can c.uwmise the operability of a spray network is failure of its supply valve (HV-57-032A, B, C, or D). These valves may be manually operated to isolate damaged networks, or to initiate the use of undamaged networks, if their controls or notors are inoperable.

nebds

3) n e physical arrangment P.t -tke v precludes possibility that large missiles can damage nore than one spray network due to trgjectory considerations. Multiple missiles of sufficient energy and distribution to substantially damage multiple networks are unlikely.
4) ne loss of scre sprays in a network does not result in substantial loss of heat r e oval capability for the entire network (each network contains 240 spray nozzles).

5)(p, Jestyfhermal performance of the spray pond is based on extreely conservative design values of initial pond teperature and meteorology as describal in Section 9.2.6.4. For all expected corrlitions, the margin in thermal performance would be considerably greater than the 10% margin dmonstrated under design canditicns.

l OUESTION 410.85 (Section 9.4.6, 9.4.7)

(a) Assuming the outside air temperature is at its maximum value of 1060F, verify that diesel generators will not fail at full load..- Specify the maximum temperature in the diesel generator cell.

_ (b) Assuming the outside air temperature is at its maximum value of 1060F verify that no emergency or residual heat removal service water pump will fail. Specify the maximum temperature in the spray pond pump room.

RESPONSE

The design basis for the outdoor air temperature used in designing the HVAC systems for the spray pond pumphouse and for the diesel generator enclosure is in accordance with the 1977 ASHRAE Fundamentals, Volume 1, Chapter 23. The use of ASHRAE is consistent with the practices used by other plants in the nuclear industry. Table 1 of Chapter 23 of the 1977 ASHRAE Fundamentals shows that the highest 1% design dry-bulb temperature for the areas around Limerick is 940F. A design outside air temperature

) of 950F was conservatively used for Limerick, which corresponds to a maximum internal room temperature of 1150F for both items a) and b) above. The diesel generators and emergency and residual heat removal service water pumps wers qualified to operate at this design room temperature throughout their normal operating lives and any accident conditions.

The 1% design dry-bulb temperatures provided in ASHRAE represent values that have been equalled or exceeded for 1% of the total hours during the summer months of June through September.

In a normal summer, there would be less than 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> at or above this value. Even when the design value is exceeded, it would not normally be exceeded by a large amount. The data from Limerick Weather Station 1 (Table 2.3.2-54t) shows that the maximum temperature was 96.20F for the period between January 1972 through December 1976. The use of 1060F, the maximum temperature recorded in Philadelphia over the last century, does not represent a realistic design basis.

The few hours a year in which the room t mperature might exceed .

1150F due to an outside air temperature great-er-than 950F would not adversely affect the operation of the-subject compone ts..
