3.5-12 Amendment No. 70rL39443rgop210

DAEC-1 4.5 BASES Core and Containment Cooling Systems Surveillance Frequencies The testing interval for the core and containment cooling systems is based on industry practice, quantitative reliability analysis, judgement and practicality.

The core cooling systems have not been designed to be fully testable during operation.

For example, in the case of the HPCI, automatic initiation during power operation would result in pumping cold water into the reactor water vessel which is not desirable.

Complete ADS testing during power operation causes an undesirable loss-of-coolant inventory. To increase the availability of the core and containment cooling systems, the components which make up the system, i.e., instrumentation, pumps, valves, etc., are tested frequently.

The test intervals are based upon Section XI of the ASME Code. A simulated automatic actuation test once per year combined with frequent tests of the pumps and injection valves is deemed to be adequate testing of these systems.

When components and subsystems are out-of-service, overall core and containment cooling reliability is maintained by evaluating the operability of the renaining equipment.

The degree of evaluation depends on the nature of the reason for the out-of-service equipment.

For routine out-of-service periods caused by preventative maintenance, etc., the evaluation may consist of verifying the redundant equipment is not known to be inoperable and applicable surveillance intervals have been satisfied.

However, if a failure due to a design deficiency caused the outage, then the evaluation of operability should be thorough enough to assure that a generic problem does not exist.

The RHR valve power bus is not instrumented.

For this reason surveillance requirements require once per shift observation and verification of lights and instrumentation operability.
