Line Break (MFLB) with a failure of an Auxiliary Feedwater flow control valve. T The flow control valve failure in the open position maximj tes the water added to

f' 3/4.7.1.2 AUX 1tl ARY FEEDWA1ER SYS1EH The-0PERABILITY of the Auxiliary feedwater System ensures that the Reactor >

l'oolant System can be cooled down to less than 350*F from normal operating i conditions in the event of 'a total loss-of-offsite power. -

Each auxiliary feedwater pump is capable of delivering a total feedwater I flow of $40 gpm at a pressure of 1324 psig to the entrance of the steam genera-  !

tors. This capacity is sufficient to ensure that adequate feedwater flow is-  !

- available to remove decay heat and reduce the Reactor Coolant System tempera-  ;

ture to less than 350*F when the Residual Heat Removal System may be placed  ;

into operation. The ATV pumps are tested usit g the test line back to the ATST  !

and the AfW isolation valves closed to prevent injection of cold water into i the steam generators. .The 51 PEGS isolation valves are active valves required  !

to open on an AfW actuation signal. Specification 4.7.1.2.1 requires,these  :

valves to be verified in the correct position.  !'

The OPERABILITY of the auxiliary feedsater storage tank with the minimum j 9ater volume ensures that sufficient water is available to maintain the RCS at i HOT STANDBY conditions for 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> with steam discharge to_ the atmosphere

. concurrent with total loss-of-of fsite power followed by a cooldown to 350'T at

.25'F per hour. The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for  ;

water not usable because of tank discharg line location or other physical l characteristics, j g p g 3/4.7.1.4 *'

SPECIIlibACflVI Y gg ,

The limitations on Secondary Coolant System specific activity ensure that  ;

the resultant offsite radiation dose will be limited to a small fraction of  !

10 CFR Part 100 dose guidelis values in the event of a steam line rupture. [

This dose also includes the ef fects of a coincident 1 gpm primary-to-secondary  ;

tube leak in the steam generator of the affected steam line. These values are  !

consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.

3/4.7.1.5 MAIN STEAM LINE_ ISOLATION VALVES j The OPERABILITY of the main steam line isolation valves ensures that'no l

, more than one steam generator will blow down in the' event of a steam line -r L rupture. This restriction is required to: (1) minimize the positive reac--  !

!' tivity effects of the Reactor Coolant System cooldown associated with the _!

l _ blowdown, and (2) limit the pressure rise within containment in the event the  !*

steam line rupture occurs within containment. The OPERABIllTY of the main L steam isolation valves within the closure times of the Surveillance Require- [

ments are consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses, j I
