within these limits will result in meeting the DNBR criterion in the event of a DNB limited transient.

The LC0 numerical values for pressure and temperature are ,

given for the measurement location but have not been adjusted for instrument error. The uncertainties for i pressure and temperature are accounted for in the CPC and )

COLSS overall uncertainty analyses. The RCS flow uncertainty must be applied to the values stated in this LCO.

APPLICABILITY In MODE 1, the limits on RCS pressurizer pressure, RCS cold leg temperature, and RCS flow rate must be maintained during steady state operation in order to ensure that DNBR criteria will be met in the event of an unplanned loss of forced coolant flow or other DNB limited transient. In all other MODES, the power level is low enough so that DNBR is not a concern.

A Note has been added to indicate the limit on pressurizer pressure may be exceeded during short term operational transients such as a THERMAL POWER ramp increase of > 5% RTP per minute or a THERMAL POWER step increase of > 10% RTP.

B 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits l

BASES I I E II I I I BACKGROUND All components of the RCS are designed to withstand effects of cyclic loads due to system pressure and temperature changes. These loads are introduced by startup (heatup) and shutdown (cooldown) operations, power transients, and reactor trips. This LCO limits the pressure and temperature changes during RCS heatup and cooldown, within the design assumptions and the stress limits for cyclic operation.

and hydrostatic (ISLH) testing, and data for theinserviceleak) maximum of change of reactor coolant temperature (Ref. IV l

Each P/T limit curve defines an acceptable region for normal

operation. The usual use of the curves is operational l guidance during heatup or cooldown maneuvering, when pressure and temperature indications are monitored and l compared to the applicable curve to determine that operation l is within the allowable region.

1 The LCO establishes operating limits that provide a margin to brittle failure of the reactor vessel and piping of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB). The vessel is the component most subject to brittle failure, and the LCO limits apply mainly to the vessel. The limits do not apply to the pressurizer, which has different design characteristics and operating functions.

10 CFR 50, Appendix G (Ref. 2), requires the establishment of P/T limits for material fracture toughness requirements of the RCPB materials. Reference 2 requires an adequate l

margin to brittle failure during normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences, and system hydrostatic tests. It mandates the use of the ASME Code,Section III, Appendix G (Ref. 3).

The actual shift in the RTm of the vessel material will be established periodically by removing and evaluating the irradiated reactor vessel material specimens, in accordance with ASTM E185 (Ref. 4) and Appendix H of 10 CFR 50 l (Ref.5). The operating P/T limit curves will be adjusted, (continued) 1 SAN ONOFRE--UNIT 2 B 3.4-8 AMENDMENT NO.

  • s RCS P/T Liaits Supkand 4 l BASES BACKGROUND as necessary, based on the evaluation findings and the (continued) recommendations of Reference 3. O -

TheP/Tlimitcurves(inthePTLFarecompositecurves established by superimpu>my omits derived from stress analyses of those portions of the reactor vessel and head that are the most restrictive. At any specific pressure, temperature, and temperature rate of change, one location within the reactor vessel will dictate the most restrictive limit. Across the span of the P/T limit curves, different locations are more restrictive, and, thus, the curves are composites of the most restrictive regions.

The heatup curve represents a different set of restrictions than the cooldown curve because the directions of the thermal gradients through the vessel wall are reversed. The thermal gradient reversal alters the location of the tensile stress between the outer and inner walls.

The criticality limit includes the Reference 2 requirement that the limit be no less than 40*F above the heatup curve or the cooldown curve and not less than the minimum permissible temperature for the ISLH testing. However, the l' criticality limit is not operationally limiting; a more restrictive limit exists in LC0 3.4.2, "RCS Minimum l Temperature for Criticality."

1 The consequence of violating the LCO limits is that the RCS has been operated under conditions that can result in brittle failure of the RCPB, possibly leading to a nonisolable leak or loss of coolant accident. In the event these limits are exceeded, an evaluation must be performed to determine the effect on the structural integrity of the RCPB components. The ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix E (Ref. 6), provides a recommended methodology for evaluating an operating event that causes an excursion outside the limits.

l APPLICABLE The P/T limits are not derived from Design Basis Accident l SAFETY ANALYSES (DBA) Analyses. They are prescribed during normal operation l to avoid encountering pressure, temperature, and temperature l rate of change conditions that might cause undetected flaws l to propagate and cause nonductile failure of the RCPB, an I unanalyzed condition.

through the spray lines, by two 3/4" needle valves, l bypassing the mainspray control valves. The purpose of this  !

flow is to hold spray line temperature above 450*F, in order j to reduce thermal shock to the spray nozzle and spray line when the spray control valves open. This limits the differential temperature to within the 200*F assumed in the  ;

Code stress reports. This consideration is enforced by )

requiring bypass flow to be within 85af of RCL cold leg

B 3.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEMS (RCS)

B 3.4.9 Pressurizer l 1

BASES BACKGROUND The pressurizer provides a point in the RCS where liquid and vapor are maintained in equilibrium under saturated conditions for pressure control purposes to prevent bulk boiling in the remainder of the RCS. Key functions include  ;

maintaining required primary system pressure during steady state operation and limiting the pressure changes caused by reactor coolant thermal expansion and contraction during normal load transients.

The pressure control components addressed by this LCO include the pressurizer water level, the required heaters and their bar'up heater controls, and emergency power supplies. Prtswrizer safety valves are addressed by LC03.4.10,"PresgzgSafetyValves."

The maximum water W limit has been established to ensure that a liquid to vapor interface exists to permit RCS pressure control, using the sprays and heaters during normal operation and proper pressure response for anticipated design basis transients. lhe water imit serves two purposes: pse.

a. Pressure control during normal operation maintains I subcooled reactor coolant in the loops and thus in the l preferredstatefog ansport; and

SAN ON0FRE--UNIT 2 B 3.4-45 AMENDMENT N0.

Pressurizer B 3.4.9 BASES M m64rI/ud a c BACKGROUND (Pressurizer safety valves) can control pressure b

(continued) steam relief rather than water relief. If the limits

! were exceeded prior to a transient that creates a large pressurizer insurge volume leading to water relief, the maximum RCS pressure might exceed the Safety Limit of

, 2750 psig.

The requirement to have two groups of pressurizer heaters ensures that RCS pressure can be maintained. The

pressurizer heaters maintain RCS pressure to keep the i reactor coolant subcooled. Inability to control RCS pressure during natural circulation flow could result in loss of single phase flow and decreased capability to remove core decay heat.

APPLICABLE In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the LC0 requirement for a steam bubble SAFETY ANALYSES is reflected implicitly in the accident analyses. No safety analyses are performed in lower MODES. All analyses performed from a critical reactor condition assume the existence of a steam bubble and saturated conditions in the pressurizer. In making this assumption, the analyses neglect the small fraction of noncondensable gases normally present.

Safety analyses presented in the UFSAR do not take credit i for pressurizer heater operation; however, an implicit initial condition assumption of the safety analyses is that the RCS is operating at normal pressure.

Although the heaters are not specifically used in accident analysis, the need to maintain subcooling in the long term during loss of offsite power, as indicated in NUREG-0737 (Ref.1), is the reason for their inclusion. The requirement for emergency power supplies is based on

, NUREG-0737 (Ref. 1). The intent is to keep the reactor coolant in a subcooled condition with natural circulation at j

hot, high pressure conditions for an undefined, but extended, time period after a loss of offsite power. While loss of offsite power is a coincident occurrence assumed in i the accident analyses, maintaining hot, high pressure conditions over an extended time period is not evaluated in the accident analyses.

LCO The LC ir for the pressuriz to OPERABLE with i water < ensures that a ste le exists.

Limiting the maximum operating water preserves the steam space for pressure control. The LCO has been established to minimize the consequences of potential overpressure transients. Requiring the presence of a steam

bubble is also consistent with analytical assumptions.

, The LC0 requires two groups of OPERABLE pressurizer heaters, each with a capacity a 150 kW and capable of being powered from an emergency power supply. The exact design value of 150 kW is derived from the use of three heaters rated at 50 kW each. The amount needed to maintain pressure is

, dependant on the ambient heat losses. The minimum heater capacity cequired is sufficient to maintain the RCS near normal operating pressure when accounting for heat losses i through the pressurizer insulation. By maintaining the pressure near the operating conditions, a wide subcooling margin to saturation can be obtained in the loops.

APPLICABILITY The need for pressure control is most pertinent when core heat can cause the greatast effect on RCS temperature l resulting in the greate "ffect on pressurizer level and i

RCS pressure control. h.c,, Applicability has been l designated for MODES 1 and 2. The Applicability is also l provided for MODE 3. The purpose is to prevent solia water 4 RCS operation during heatup and cooldown to avoid rapid pressure rises caused by normal operational perturbation, l such as reactor coolant pump startup.

, The LC0 does not apply to MODES 5 and 6 with partial loop i operation.

] demonstrating such protection. LCO 3.4.3, "RCS Pressure and i Temperature (P/T) Limits," provides the allowable combinations for operational pressure and temperature during 2

cooldown, shutdown, and heatup to keep from violating the ,

4 Reference 1 requirements dering the LTOP MODES. l l The reactor vessel material is less tough at low

. temperatures than at normal operating temperatures. As the

vessel neutron exposure accumulates, the material toughness i decreases and becomes less resistant to pressure stress at low temperatures (Ref. 2). RCS pressure, therefore, is maintained low at low temperatures and is increased only as
temperature is increased.

The potential for vessel overpressurization is most acute 3

when the RCS is water solid, occurring only during shutdown; a pressure fluctuation can occur more quickly than an operator can react to relieve the condition. Exceeding the i RCS P/T limits by a significant amount could cause brittle

! cracking of the reactor vessel. LCO 3.4.3 requires administrative control of RCS pressure and temperature

Due to the lower pressures in the LTOP MODES and the expected core decayheatlevels,themakeiifsystemcanprovideadequate flow via the makeup control valve and, if needed, until the HPSI pump is actuated by SI.

j Shutdown Coolina System Relief Valve Reauirements l The Shutdown Cooling System 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 than or equal to 100*F above the RCS cold leg temperatures or (2) inadvertent safety injection actuation with two HPSI pumps injecting into a water-solid RCS with full charging capacity and l letdown isolated.

l l

RCS Vent Reauirements Once the RCS is depressurized, a vent exposed to the containment atmosphere will maintain the RCS at containment ambient pressure in an RCS overpressure transient, if the relieving requirements of the transient do not exceed the capabilities of the vent. Thus, the vent path must be capable of relieving the flow resulting from the limiting LTOP mass or heat input transient and maintaining pressure below the P/T limits. The required vent capacity may be provided by one or more vent paths.

BACKGROUND The LTOP System controls RCS pressure at low temperatures so )

! the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary ,

l (RCPB) is not com temperature (P/T) promised by vie!ating the pressure andlimits o The reactor vessel is the limiting RCPB component for i demonstrating such protection. LCO 3.4.3, "RCS Pr::,sure and Temperature (P/T) Limits," provides the allowable combinations for operational pressure and temperature during cooldown, shutdown, and heatup to keep from violating the Reference 1 requirements during the LTOP MODES.

The reactor vessel material is less tough at low temperatures than at nomal operating temperatures. As the

vessel neutron exposure accumulates, the material toughness decreases and becomes less resistant to pressure stress at lowtemperatures(Ref.2). RCS pressure, therefore, is maintained low at low temperatures and is increased only as temperature is increased.

The potential for vessel overpressurization is most acute when the RCS is water solid, occurring only during shutdown; a pressure fluctuation can occur more quickly than an operator can react to relieve the condition. Exceeding the RCS P/T limits by a significant amount could cause brittle cracking of the reactor vessel. LCO 3.4.3 requires administrative control of RCS pressure and temperature during heatup and cooldown to prevent exceeding the P/T limits.

In MODE 4 when the temperature of any RCS cold leg is greater than the enable temperatures specified in the TLR, the LC0 does not require the makeup control system 1 deactivated or the safety injection (SI) actuation rcuits  !

B 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits BASES BACKGROUND All components of the RCS are designed to withstand effects  !

of cyclic loads due to system pressure and temperature changes. These loads are introduced by startup (heatup) and shutdown (cooldown) operations, power transients, and reactor trips. This LC0 limits the pressure and temperature changes during RCS heatup and cooldown, within the design assumptions and the stress limits for cyclic operation.

, Each P/T limit curve defines an acceptable region for normal operation. The usual use of the curves is operational guidance during heatup or cooldown maneuvering, wher.

pressure and temperature indications are monitored and compared to the applicable curve to determine that operation

, is within the allowable region.

The LC0 establishes operating limits that provide a margin 4 to brittle failure of the reactor vessel and piping of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB). The vessel is the component most subject to brittle failure, and the LCO limits apply mainly to the vessel. The limits do not apply I

to the pressurizer, which has different design ,

characteristics and operating functions. l

10 CFR 50, Appendix G (Ref. 2), requires the establishment J

of P/T limits for material fracture toughness requirements of the RCPB materials. Reference 2 requires 2 adequate j margin to brittle failure during normal operation, 1

anticipated operational occurrences, and system hydrostatic 4

tests. It mandates the use of the ASME Code,Section III, 4

Appendix G (Ref. 3).

The actual shift in the RTuor of the vessel material will be

M The P/T limit curves (in the PTLyare composite curves established by superimpusim o mits derived from stress i 4 analyses of those portions of the reactor vessel and head that are the most restrictive. At any specific pressure, temperature, and temperature rate of change, one location i

, within the reactor vessel will dictate the most restrictive 1

- limit. Across the span of the P/T limit curves, different locations are more restrictive, and, thus, the curves are composites of the most restrictive regions. l The heatup curve represents a different set of re< actions i than the cooldown curve because the directions c' .e thennal gradients through the vessel wall are re sed. The

The criticality limit includes the Reference 2 requirement that the limit he no less than 40=F above the heatup curve

or the cooldov1 cirve and not less than the minimum permissible ter.purature for the ISLH testing. However, the criticality lirait is not operationally limiting; a more  ;

restrictive limit exists in LC0 3.4.2, "RCS Minimum j Temperature for Criticality." l l The consequence of violating the LC0 limits is that the RCS )

has been operated under conditions that can result in  ;

, brittle failure of the RCPB, possibly leading to a nonisolable leak or loss of coolant accident. In the event these limits are exceeded, an evaluation must be performed to determine the effect on the structural integrity of the RCPB components. The ASME Code,Section XI, Apnendix E l (Ref. 6), provides a recommended methodology for evaluating

Condition C is modified by a Note requiring Required Action C.2 to be completed whenever the Condition is entered.

were exceeded prior to a transient that creates a large '

pressurizer insurge volume leading to water relief, the maximum RCS pressure might exceed the Safety Limit of '

2750 psig. l The requirement to have two groups of pressurizer heaters ensures that RCS pressure can be maintained. The i pressurizer heaters maintain RCS pressure to keep the reactor coolant subcooled. Inability to control RCS l pressure during natural circulation flow could result in '

core decay heat.

l 1

APPLICABLE In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the LC0 requirement for a steam bubble SAFETY ANALYSES is reflected implicitly in the accident analyses. No safety analyses are performed in lower MODES. All analyses performed from a critical reactor condition assume the existence of a steam bubble and saturated conditions in the pressurizer. In making this assumption, the analyses neglect the small fraction of noncondensable gases normally present.

Safety analyses presented in the UFSAR do not take credit for pressurizer heater operation; however, an implicit initial condition assumption of the safety analyses is that i the RCS is operating at normal pressure.

Although the heaters are not specifically used in accident analysis, the need to maintain subcooling in the long term during loss of offsite power, as indicated in NUREG-0737 (Ref.1), is the reason for their inclusion. The requirement for emergency power supplies is based on NUREG-0737 (Ref. 1). The intent is to keep the reactor coolant in a subcooled condition with natural circulation at hot, high pressure conditions for an undefined, but extended, time period after a loss of offsite power. While loss of offsite power is a coincident occurrence assumed in the accident analyses, maintaining hot, high pressure conditions over an extended time period is not evaluated in the accident analyses.

LCO The LC 1re for the pressuriz to OPERABLE with water < ' ensures that a ste i le exists. j Limiting the maximum operating water preserves the l steam space for pressure control. The LC0 has been established to minimize the consequences of potential overpressure transients. Requiring the presence of a steam bubble is also consistent with analytical assumptions.

The LC0 requires two groups of OPERABLE pressurizer heaters, each with a capacity a 150 kW and capable of being powered from an emergency power supply. The exact design value of 150 kW is derived from the use of three heaters rated at 50 kW each. The amount needed to maintain pressure is dependant on the ambient heat losses. The minimum heater capacity required is sufficient to maintain the RCS near normal operating pressure when accounting for heat losses through the pressurizer insulation. By maintaining the pressure near the operating conditions, a wide subcooling margin to saturation can be obtained in the loops.

APPLICABILIT) The need for pressure control is most pertinent when core heat can cause the greatest effect on RCS temperature resulting in the greatest effect on pressurizer level and RCS pressure control. Thus, Applicability has been designated for MODES 1 and 2. The Applicability is also provided for MODE 3. The n"enose is to prevent solid water RCS operation during hcatup and cooldown to avoid rapid pressure rises causer'. by normal operational perturbation, such as reactor cooiant pump startup. The LC0 does not

apply to MODE 5 (Loops Filled) because LC0 3.4.12 " Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System," applies.

The LC0 does not apply to MODES 5 and 6 with partial loop operation.

In MODES 1, 2, and 3, there is the need to maintain the availability of pressurizer heaters capable of being powered from an emergency power supply. In the event of a loss of offsite power, the initial conditions of these MODES gives (continued)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, OPERABILITY of two valves is required because the combined capacity is re1uired to keep reactor coolant pressure below 110% of its cesign value during certain accidents. The relief capacity of a sing!e safety valve is adequate to relieve any overpressure condition which might occur during MODE 4 with RCS cold leg temperature greater than the enable temperature pecifie in the p ssuiy enu i+raturepait ;apoK The Note allows entry into MODE 3 with the lift settings outside the LCO limits. This permits testing and examination of the safety valves at high pressure and temperature near their normal operating range, but only after the valves have had a preliminary cold setting. The cold setting gives assurance that the valves are OPERABLE near their design condition. Only one valve at a time will be removed from service for testing. The 36 hour4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> exception is based on 18 hour2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> outage time for each of the two valves.

The 18 hour2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br /> period is derived from operating experience that

ACTIONS A.1 With one pressurizer safety valve inoperable, restoration must take place within 15 minutes. The Completion Time of 15 minutes reflects the importance of maintaining the RCS overpressure protection system. An inoperable safety valve coincident with an RCS overpressure event could challenge the integrity of the RCPB.

B.1 and B.2 If the Required Action cannot be met within the required Completion Time, or if two safety valves are inoperable, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the requirement does not apply.

BACKGROUND The LTOP System controls RCS pressure at low temperatures so the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) is not com temperature (P/T) promised by violating the pressure andlimits The reactor vessel is the limiting RCPB component for demonstrating such protection. LCO 3.4.3, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits," provides the allowable combinations for operational pressure and temperature during cooldown, shutdown, and heatup to keep from violating the Reference 1 requirements during the LTOP MODES.

j The reactor vessel material is less tough at low

temperatures than at normal operating temperatures. As the vessel neutron exposure accumulates, the material toughness decreases and becomes less resistant to pressure stress at low temperatures (Ref. 2). RCS pressure, therefore, is maintained low at low temperatures and is increased only as temperature is increased.

1

The potential for vessel overpressurization is most acute l 1 when the RCS is water solid, occurring only during shutdown; a pressure fluctuation can occur more quickly than an operator can react to relieve the condition. Exceeding the RCS P/T limits by a significant amount could cause brittle cracking of the reactor vessel. LC0 3.4.3 requires administrative control of RCS pressure and temperature during heatup and cooldown to prevent exceeding the P/T limits.

The design basis of the LTOP assumes unrestricted flow from two HPSI pumps and three charging pumps (full charging j capacity) without letdown. Because there are three HPSI i pumps and three charging pumps, the limitation on the number of HPSI pumps to be maintained OPERABLE during the specified MODES, along with isolating the Safety Injection Tanks, 2

ensures that a mass addition to the RCS that exceeds the design basis assumptions of the LTOP will not occur. This limitation on the number of HPSI pumps that can provide makeup and injection to the RCS implements the guidance provided in Generic Letter 90-06.

BACKGROUND With minimum coolant input capability, the ability to 2

(continued) provide core coolant additian is restricted. The LCO does not require the makeup control system deactivated or the safety injection (SI) actuation circuits blocked. Due to

. the lower pressures in the LTOP MODES and the expected core decay heat levels, the makebp~ system can provide adequate flow via the makeup control valve and, if needed, until the HPSI pump is actuated by SI.

i Shutdown Coolina System Relief Valve Reauirements The Shutdown Cooling System 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 eith the secondary water temperature of the steam generator less than or equal to 100*F above the RCS cold leg temperatures or (2) inadvertent safety injection actuation with two HPSI pumps injecting 1 into a water-solid RCS with full charging capacity and letdown isolated.

RCS Vent Reauirements Once the RCS is de)ressurized, a vent exposed to the containment atmospiere will maintain the RCS at containment ambient pressure in an RCS overpressure transient, if the relieving requirements of the transient do not exceed the capabilities of the vent. Thus, the vent path must be capable of relieving the flow resulting from the limiting LTOP mass or heat input transient and maintaining pressure below the P/T limits. The required vent capacity may be provided by one or more vent paths.

The OPERABILITY of an RCS vent opening of greater than 5.6 square inches ensures that the RCS will be protected from pressure transients which could exceed the limits of

The actual temperature at which the pressure in the P/T limit curve falls below the pressurizer safety valve setpoint increases as the reactor vessel material toughness decreases due to neutron embrittlement. Each time the P/T limit curves are revised, the LTOP System will be re-evaluated to ensure its functional requirements can still be satisfied using the relief valve method or the I depressurized and venteri RCS condition.

l BASES l APPLICABLE failure proof; therefore, whenever the SIT isolation valves SAFETY ANALYSES are open, power is removed from their operators and the j (continued) switch is key locked open. In addition, whenever the SITS '

are required to be operable, power is removed from the SIT 4 vent valves by removing the vent valve fuses or placing the )

, disconnect switch in the open position.

\

These precautions ensure that the SITS are available during l 1 an accident (Ref. 4). With power supplied to the valves, a i single active failure could result in a valve closure, which ,

would render one SIT unavailable for injection. If a second 4

i' SIT is lost through the break, only two SITS would reach the core. An active failure that could affect the SITS would be i

the closure of a motor operated outlet valve or opening of a SIT vent valve. The requirement to remove power from these valves eliminates these failure modes. The surveillance i

. requirement to ensure power is removed from the SIT vent I 1

valves is controlled by the Licensee Controlled Specification (LCS).

The minimum volume requirement for the SITS ensures that i

. three SITS can provide adequate inventory to reflood the  !

l core and downcomer following a LOCA. The downcomer then a remains flooded until the HPSI and LPSI systems start to deliver flow.

The maximum volume limit is based on maintaining an adequate j gas volume to ensure proper injection and the ability of the g SITS to fully discharge, as well as limiting the maximum i amount of boron inventory in the SITS.

The minimum nitrogen cover pressure requirement ensures that the contained gas volume will generate discharge flow rates during injection that are consistent with those assumed in the safety analyses.
