3.1 PROTECTIVE INSTRUMENTATION Aeolicability: Applies to the operating status of plant instrumentation which performs a protective function.
Ob.iective:
To assure the OPERABILITY of protective instrumentation.
l Soecifications: A. The following operating requirements for plant protective instrumentation are given in Table 3.1.1:
1.
The reactor mode in which a specified function must be GPERABLE including allowable bypass conditions.
l 2.
The minimum number of OPERABLE instrument channels per OPERABLE trip system.
3.
The trip settings which initiate automatic protective action.
4.
The action required when the limiting conditions for operation are not satisfied.
B.
1.
Failure of four chambers assigned to any one APRM shall make the APRM inoperable.
2.
Failure of two chambers from one radial core location in any one APRM shall make that APRM inoperable.
C.
1.
Any two (2) LPRM assemblies which are input to the APRM system and are separated in distance by less than three (3) times the control rod pitch may not contain a combination of more than three (3) inoperable detectors (i.e., APRM channel failed or bypassed, or LPRM detectors failed or bypassed) out of the four (4)
~
detectors located in either the A and B, or the C and D levels.
2.
A Travelling In-Core Probe (TIP) chamber may be used as an APRM input to meet the criteria of 3.1.B and 3.1.C.1, provided the TIP is positioned in close proximity to one of the failed LPRM's.
If the criteria of 3.1.B.2 or 3.1.C.1 cannot be met, POWER OPERATION may continue at up to rated power level provided a control rod withdrawal block is OPERATING or at power levels less than 61% of rated power until the TIP can be connected, positioned and satisfactorily tested, as long as Specification 3.1.B.1 and Table 3.1.1 are satisfied.
Bases:
The plant protection system automatically initiates protective functions to prevent exceeding established limits.
In addition, other protective instrumentation is provided to initiate action which mitigates the consequences of accidents or terminates operator control.
This specification provides the limiting conditions for operation necessary to preserve the effectiveness of these
{
instrument systems.
l OYSTER CREEK 3.1-1 Amendment No.:
64, 171 5/24/75
Table 3.1.1 defines, for each function, the minimum number of OPERABLE instrument channels for an OPERABLE trip system for the various functions specified. There are usually two trip systems required or available for each function. The specified limiting conditions for operation apply for the indicated modes of operation. When the specified limiting condition cannot be met, the specified Actions Required shall be undertaken promptly to modify plant operation to the condition indicated in a normal manner. Conditions under which the specified plant instrumentation may be out-of-service are also defined in Table 3.1.1.
Except as noted in Table 3.1.1 an inoperable trip system will be l
placed in the tripped condition. A tripped trip system is considered OPERATING since by virtue of being tripped it is performing its required function. All sensors in the untripped trip system must be OPERABLE, except as follows:
1.
The high temperature sensor system in the main steam line tunnel has eight sensors in each protection logic channel.
This multiplicity of sensors serving a duplicate function permits this system to operate for twenty month nominal intervals without l
calibration. Thus, if one of the temperature sensors causes a trip in one of the two trip systems, there are several cross checks that would verify if this were a real one.
If not, this sensor could be removed from service. However, a minimum of two of eight are required to be OPERABLE and only one of the two is l
required to accomplish a trip in a single trip system.
2.
One APRM of the four in each trip system may be bypassed without tripping the trip system if core protection is maintained.
Core protection is maintained by the remaining three APRM's in each trip system as discussed in Section 7.5.1.8.7 of the Updated FSAR. l 3.
One IRM channel in each of the two trip systems may be bypassed without compromising the effectiveness of the system. There are few possible sources of rapid reactivity input to the system in the low power low flow condition.
Effects of increasing pressure at zero or low void content are minor, cold water from sources available during startup is not much colder than that already in the system, temperature coefficients are small, and control rod patterns are constrained to be uniform by operating procedures backed up by the rod worth minimizer.
Worth of individual rods is very low in a uniform rod pattern. Thus, of all possible sources of reactivity input, uniform control rod withdrawal is the most probable cause of significant power rise. Because the flux distribution associated with uniform rod withdrawals does not involve high local peaks, and because several rods must be moved 1
to change power by a significant percentage of rated, the rate of l
power rise is very slow. Generally the heat flux is in near equilibrium with the fission rate.
In an assumed uniform rod withdrawal approach to the scram level, the rate of power rise is no more than five percent of rated per minute, and three OPERABLE l
IRM instruments in each trip system would be more than adequate to assure a scram before the power could exceed the safety limit.
In many cases, if properly located, a single OPERABLE IRM channel in l
each trip system would suffice.

'4.
When required for surveillance' testing, a channel is made _
In order to be able to test its trip function to the final actuating device of its trip system, the trip system cannot i
already be tripped by some other means such as a mode switch, interlock, or manual trip. Therefore, there will be' times during the test that the channel is inoperable but not tripped.
For a two channel trip system,.this means that full reliance is being placed on the channel that is not being tested. A channel may be placed in an inoperable status for up to 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> for required l'
surveillance without placing the' trip system in the tripped condition provided at least one OPERABLE channel in the same trip I system is monitoring that parameter.
5.
Allowed outage times (A0T) to permit restoration of inoperable instrumentation to OPERABLE status are orovided in Table 3.1.1.
l A0Ts vary depending on type of function and the number of L inoperable channels per function.
If an inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the A0T, the channel or_the i
associated trip system must be placed in the tripped condition.
Placing the inoperable channel in trip (or the associated trip-system-in trip) conservatively compensates for the inoperability 7,
and allows operation to continue. Alternatively, if it-is not desired to place the channel (or trip system) in trip (e.g., as in the case where placing the inoperable channel _in trip would result in a full scram) the Action Required must be taken.
A0Ts discussed in 4 (6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> for surveillance) and-5 (repair A0Ts in-Table 3.1.1, Notes nn, oo and pp) above have been determined in l
accordance with References I through 6 except for instrumentation in Table 3.1.1, Sections'M and N.
Note kk has been provided to specify a 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> surveillance A0T for.those instruments.
Bypasses of inputs to a trip system other than the IRM and APRM I
bypasses are provided for meeting operational requirements listed in i
the. notes in Table 3.1.1.
Note 'a' allows the "high water levelLin scram discharge volume" scram trip to be bypassed in the refuel mode.
In order to reset the safety system'after a scram condition, it is i
necessary to drain the scram discharge volume to clear this scram input condition.
(This condition usually follows any scram,'no matter what the initial cause might have been.)
In order to do this, this particular scram function can be bypassed only in the refuel position.
4 Since all of the control rods are completely inserted following a_
scram, it is permissible to bypass this condition because a control i
rod block prevents withdrawal as long as the switch is in the bypass condition for this function.
The manual scram associated with moving the mode switch to shutdown is used merely to provide a mechanism whereby the reactor protection-system scram logic channels and the reactor manual control system can be energized.
The ability to reset a scram twenty (20) seconds after going into the SHUTDOWN MODE provides the beneficial function of-
[
relieving scram pressure from the control rod drives which will increase their expected lifetime.

OYSTER CREEK 3.1-3 Amendment No.: fd,Ild,171 2/4/77 r
~ *-
-To' permit' plant. operation to 'enerate adequate steam and pressure to g
establish turbine seals and condenser vacuum at relatively low reactor power, the main _ condenser vacuum trip is bypassed until 600 psig.
.This bypass.also applies to the main steam isolation valves for the same reason.
The action required.when the minimum instrument logic conditions'are
-not met is chosen so as to bring plant operation promptly to such a condition that the particular protection instrument.is not required; or the plant-is placed in the. protection.or safe condition that the instrument initiates. This is accomplished in a normal manner without-subjecting the plant.to abnormal-operations conditions. The action and out-of-service requirements apply to all instrumentation within a particular function, e.g., if the requirements on any one of the ten-scram functions cannot be met then control rods shall be inserted.
The trip level settings not specified in Specification 2.3 have been-included in this specification.
The bases for these settings are discussed below.
The high drywell pressure trip setting.is 5. 3.5 psig. This trip will i
scram the reactor, initiate core spray, initiate primary containment isolation, initiate automatic depressurization in conjunction with low-low-low-reactor water level, initiate the standby gas treatment t
system and isolate the reactor building. The scram function shuts the core down during the loss-of-coolant accidents. A steam leak of about 15 gpm and a liquid leak of about 35 gpm from the primary system will cause drywell pressure to reach the scram ~ point; and, therefore, the scram provides protection for breaks greater than.the above.
High drywell pressure provides a second means of initiating the core spray to mitigate the consequences of loss-of-coolant accident.
Its trip setting of 13.5 psig initiates the core spray in time to provide adequate core cooling. The break size coverage of high drywell pressure was_ discussed above.
Low-low water level and high drywell pressure in addition to initiating core spray also causes isolation valve closure. These settings are adequate to cause ' isolation to minimize the offsite dose within required limits.
It is permissible to make the drywell pressure instrument channels inoperable during performance of the integrated primary containment leakage rate test provided the reactor is in the COLD SHUTDOWN l
condition. The reason for this is that the Engineered Safety Features, which are effective in case of a LOCA under these conditions, will still be effective because they will be activated (when the Engineered Safety Features system is required as identified in the technical specification of the system) by low-low reactor water level.*

The scraQ discharge volume has two separate instrument volumes utilized to detect water accumulation.
The high water level is based on the design that the water in the SDIV's,' as detected by either set of level instruments, shall not be allowed to exceed 29.0 gallons; thereby, permitting 137 control rods to scram. To provide further margin, an accumulation of not more than 14.0 gallons of water, as detected by either instrument volume, will result in a rod block and an alarm.- The accumulation of not more than 7.0 gallons of water, as detected in either instrument volume will result in an alarm.
Detailed analyses of transients have shown that sufficient protection is provided by other scrams below 45% power to permit bypassing of the turbine. trip and generator load rejection scrams. However, for operational convenience, 40% of. rated power has been chosen as the setpoint-below which these trips are bypassed.
This setpoint is coincident with bypass valve capacity.
A low condenser vacuum scram trip of 20 inches Hg has been provided to protect the main condenser in the event that vacuum is lost. A loss of condenser vacuum would cause the turbine ~ stop valves to close, resulting in a turbine trip transient.
The low condenser vacuum trip provides a reliable backup to the turbine trip. Thus, if there is a failure of the turbine trip on low vacuum, the reactor would automatically scram at 20 inches Hg.
The condenser is capable of receiving bypass steam until 7 inches Hg vacuum thereby mitigating the transient and providing a margin.
The settings to isolate the isolation condenser in the event of a break in the steam or condensate lines are based on the predicted maximum flows that these systems would experience during operation, thus permitting operation while affording protection in the event of a break.
The settirigs correspond to a flow rate of less than three times the 5
normal flow rate of 3.2X10 lb/hr. Upon initiation of the alternate shutdown panel, this function is bypassed to prevent spurious isolation due to fire induced circuit faults.
The setting of ten times the stack release limit for isolation of the air-ejector offgas line is to permit the operator to perform normal, immediate remedial action if the stack limit is exceeded. The time necessary for this action would be extremely short when considering the annual averaging which is allowed under 10 CFR 20.106, and, therefore, would produce insignificant effects on doses to the public.
OYSTER CREEK 3.1-5 Amendment No.: 7),J#,J52,J69,171
Four radiation monitors.are provided.which initiate isolation of the reactor building and operation of the standby gas treatment system. Two monitors are located in the ventilation ducts, one is located in the area of the refueling pool and one is located in the reactor vessel head storage area. The trip logic is basically a 1 out of 4 system. Any upscale trip will cause the desired action. Trip settings of 17 mr/hr in the duct and 100 mr/hr on the refueling floor are based upon initiating standby gas treatment system so as not to exceed allowed dose rates of 10 CFR 20 at the nearest site boundary.
5 The SRM upscale of 5 x 10 CPS initiates a rod block so that the chamber can be relocated to a lower flux area to maintain SRM capability ag power is increased to the IRM range. Full scale reading is 1 x 10 CPS.
This rod block is bypassed in IRM Ranges 8 and higher since a level of 5 5
x 10 CPS is reached and the SRM chamber is at its fully withdrawn position.
The SRM downscale rod block of 100 CPS prevents the instrument chamber from being withdrawn too far from the core during the period that it is required to monitor the neutron flux. This downscale rod block is also bypassed in IRM Ranges 8 and higher.
It is not required at this power level since good indication exists ig the Intermediate Range and the SRM will be reading approximately 5 x 10 CPS when using IRM Ranges 8 and higher.
The IRM downscale rod block in conjunction with the chamber full-in position and range switch setting, provides a rod block to assure that-the IRM is in its most sensitive condition before startup.
If the two-latter conditions are satisfied, control rod withdrawal may commence even if the IRM is not reading at least 5%. However, after a substantial neutron flux is obtained, the rod block' setting prevents the chamber from being withdrawn to an insensitive area of the core.
The APRM downscale setting of 2 2/150 full scale is provided in the RUN MODE to prevent control rod withdrawal without adequate neutron monitoring.
High flow in the main steamline is set at 120% of rated flow. At this setting the isolation valves close and in the event of a steam Hne break limit the loss of inventory so that fuel clad perforation does not occur. The 120% flow would correspond to the thermal. power so this would either indicate a line break or too high a power.
Temperature sensors are provided in the steam line tunnel to provide for closure of the main steamline isolation valves should a break or leak occur in this area of the plant. The trip is set at 50'F above ambient temperature at rated power. This setting will cause isolation to occur for main steamline breaks which result in a flow of a few pounds per minute or greater.
Isolation occurs soon enough to meet the criterion of no clad perforation.
0YSTER CREEK 3.1-6 Amendment No.: t,1, 171 01/5/71,11/5/71
i l
u The-low-low-low water level trip point is set at 4'8" above the top of the, active fuel and will prevent spurious operation of.the automatic relief system. The trip point established will initiate the automatic
- depressurization system in time to provide adequate core cooling.
Specification 3.1.B.1 defines the minimum numbe'r of APRM channel l
inputs' required.to permit accurate average core power monitoring.
Specifications 3.1.B.2 and 3.1.C.1 further define the distribution of.
the OPERABLE chambers to provide monitoring of local power changes that might be caused by a single rod withdrawal. Any nearby, OPERABLE LPRM chamber can provide the required input for average core.
i monitoring. A Travelling Incore Probe or Probes can be used temporarily to provide APRM input (s) until LPRM replacement is' l
possible. Since APRM rod block protection is not required below 61%
of rated power, as discussed in Section 2.3, Limitino Safety System-Settinos, operation may continue below 61% as long as Specification j
3.1.8.1 and the requirements of Table 3.1.1 are met.
In order to
- maintain reliability'of core monitoring in that quadrant where an APRM is inoperable, it is permitted to remove the OPERABLE APRM from
~[
service for calibration and/or test provided that the same core protection is maintained by' alternate means.
In the rare event that Travelling In-core Probes (TIPS) are used to meet the requirements 3.1.B or 3.1.C, the licensee may perform an analysis of substitute LPRM inputs to the APRM system using spare (non-APRM input) LPRM detectors and change the APRM system as permitted by 10 CFR 50.59.
Under assumed loss-of-coolant accident conditions and certain loss-of.
offsite power conditions with no assumed loss-of-coolant accident, it is inadvisable to allow the simultaneous starting of emergency core cooling and heavy load auxiliary systems in order to minimize the voltage drop across the emergency buses and to protect against a potential diesel generator overload. The diesel generator load sequence time delay relays provide this protective function and are set accordingly. The repetitive accuracy rating of the timer 1
mechanism as well as parametric analyses to evaluate the maximum acceptable tolerances for the diesel loading sequence timers were considered in the establishment of the appropriate load sequencing.
Manual actuation can be accomplished by the operator and is considered appropriate only when the automatic load sequencing has been completed. This will prevent simultaneous starting of heavy load auxiliary systems and protect against the potential for diesel generator overload.
Also, the Reactor Building Closed Cooling Water and Service Water pump l circuit breakers will trip whenever a loss-of-coolant accident condition exists. This is justified by Amendment 42 of the Licensing Application which determined that these pumps were not required during this accident condition.

SECTION 4 SURVEILLANCE RE0UIREMENTS 4.1 PROTECTIVE INSTRUMENTATION Aeolicability:
Applies to the surveillance of the instrumentation that performs a safety function.
Ob.iective:
To specify the minimum frequency and type of surveillance to be applied to the safety instrumentation.
Soecification:
Instrumentation shall be checked, tested, and calibrated as indicated in Tables 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 using the definitions l
given in Section 1.
Basis:
Surveillance intervals are based on reliability analyses and have been determined in accordance with General Electric Licensing Topical Reports given in References I through 5.
The functions listed in Table 4.1.1 logically divide into three groups:
a.
On-off sensors that provide a scram function or some other equally important function.
b.
Analog devices coupled with a bi-stable trip that provides a scram function or some other vitally important function.
Devices which only serve a useful function during some c.
restricted mode of operation, such as startup or shutdown, or for which the only practical test is one that can be performed only at shutdown.
I Group (b) devices utilize an analog sensor followed by an amplifier and bi-stable trip circuit. The sensor and amplifier are active components and a failure would generally result in an upscale signal, a downscale signal, or no signal. These conditions are alarmed so a failure would not go undetected. The bi-stable portion does need to be tested in order to prove that it will assume its tripped state when required.
l Group (c) devices are active only during a given portion of the operational cycle.
For example, the IRH is inactive during full-power operation and active during startup.
Thus, the only test that is significant is the one performed just prior to shutdown and startup. The condenser Low Vacuum trip can only be tested during shutdown, and although it is connected into the reactor protection system, it is not required to protect the reactor. Testing at each REFUELING OUTAGE is adequate. The switches for the high l
temperature main steamline tunnel are not accessible during OYSTER CREEK 4.1-1 Amendment No. : 171
normal operation because of thGir location above the main steam lines.
Therefore, after initial calibration and in-place OPERABILITY checks, they will not be tested between I
refueling shutdowns.
Considering the physical arrangement of the piping which would allow a steam leak at any of the four sensing lochtions to affect the other locations, it is considered that the function is not jeopardized by limiting calibration and testing to refueling outages.
The logic of the instrument safety systems in Table 4.1.1 is such that testing the instrument channels also trips the trip system, verifying that it is OPERABLE. However, certain l
systems require coincident instrument channel trips to completely test their trip systems. Therefore, Table 4.1.2 specifies the minimum trip system test frequency for these tripped systems.
This assures that all trip systems for protective instrumentation are adequately Nsted, from sensors through the trip system.
IRM calibration is to be performed during reactor startup.
The calibration of the IRMs during startup will be significant since the IRMs will be relied on for neutron monitoring and reactor protection up to 38.4% of rated power during a reactor startup.
General Electric Licensing Topical Report NEDC-30851P-A (Reference 1), Section 5.7 indicates that the major contributor to reactor protection system unavailability is common cause failure of the automatic scram contactors.
Analysis showed a weekly test interval to be optimum for scram contactors. The test of the automatic scram contactors can be performed as part of the Channel Calibration or Test of Scram Functions or by use of the subchannel test switches.
