(1) the associated ACTION and/or Reactor trip will be initiated when the parameter monitored by each channel or combination thereof reaches its Setpoint (2) the specified coincidence logic (3) sufficient redundancy is maintained to permit a channel to be out-of-service for testing or maintenance consistent with main-taining an appropriate level of reliability of the Reactor Protection and Engi-neered Safety Features instrumentation, and (4) sufficient system functional capability is available from diverse parameters.

The OPERABILITY of these systems is required to provide the overall reli-ability, redundancy, and diversity assumed available in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions. The inte-grated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. The Surveillance Requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is maintained com-parable to the original design standards. The periodic surveillance tests per-formed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.

Specified surveillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage times have been determined in accordance with WCAP-10271, " Evaluation of Surveillance Frequencies and Out of Service Times for the Reactor Protection Instrumentation System," and supplements to that report.

Surveillance intervals and out of service times were determined based upon maintaining an appropriate level of reliability of the Reactor Protection System and Engineered Safety Features instrumentation.

The NRC Safety Evaluation Report for WCAP-10271 and its supplements were provided in letters dated February 21, 1985, from C. O. Thomas (NRC) to J. J. Sheppard (WOG-GP); February 22, 1989, from C. E. Rossi (NRC) to R. A. Newton (WOG0; and on April 30, 1990, from C. E.

Rossi to G. T. Goering.

The engineered safety features actuation system does not include an explicit functional unit for the automatic load sequencer.

An inoperable load sequencer would affect the ability to detect and respond to a loss of power ar undervoltage and thus is included with the instrumentation that must be available to meet the requirements of functional units 6.d.i. and i.i., as well as 8.a and b.

Since the hardware is the same for each of these functional units, a common action statement is used.

The mode of applicability for functional unit 6.d does not include mode 4 since the AFW is not required to be operable in mode 4; therefore, a footnote has been added that refers to functional unit 8.a and b. which requires the instrumentation to be operable in mode 4.

An inoperable automatic load sequencer does not impact the operability of the automatic actuation logic and actuation relays (functional unit 1.b).

The hardware referred to by this functional unit is not contained within the automatic load sequencer, but in the solid-state protection system.

The effects of an inoperable automatic load sequencer is that the associ;ted on site or offsite 4.16 kV emergency power sources may not correctly respond to an ESF or loss of power signal.

The appropriate action for an inoperable automatic load sequencer is closely related to the action for an inoperable diesel generator and an associated offsite source with an energized 4.16 kV V0GTLE UNITS - 1 & 2 B 3/4 3-1 Amendment No. 86 (Unit 1)

INSTRUMENTATION BASES REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM and ENCINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) bus. The appropriate actions for an inoperable automatic load sequencer are included in specification 3.8.1.1 and are discussed in the basis for Technical Specification 3/4.8.1. Action statement 29 for inoperable undervoltage channels is commensurate with that for an inoperable automatic load sequencer, and its basis is enveloped by the justification given for Technical Specification 3/4.8.1.

The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation Trip Set-points specified in Table 3.3-3 are the nominal values at which the bistables are set for each functional unit. A Setpoint is considered to be adjusted consistent with the nominal value when the "as measured" Setpoint is within the band allowed for calibration accuracy.

To accommodate the instrument drift assumed to occur between operational tests and the accuracy to which Setpoints can be measured and calibrated, Allowable Values for the Setpoints have been specified in Table 3.3-3.

Opera-tion with Setpoints less conservative than the Trip Setpoint but within the Allowable Value is acceptable since an allowance has been made in the safety analysis to accommodate this error. An optional provision has been included for determining the OPERABILITY of a channel when its Trip Setpoint is found to exceed the Allowable Value. The methodology of this option utilizes the "as measured" deviation from the specified calibration point for rack and sensor components in conjunction with a statistical combination of the other uncertainties of the instrumentation to measure the process variaSle and the uncertainties in calibrating the instrumentation.

In Equation 2.2-1, Z + R + S s TA, the interactive effects of the errors in the rack and the sensor, and the "as measured" values of the errors are considered.

Z, as specified in Table 3.3-3, in percent span, is the statistical summation of errors assumed in the analysis excluding those associated with the sensor and rack drift and the accuracy of their measurement.

TA or Total Allowance is the difference, in percent span, R or Rack Error is the "as measured" deviation, in the percent span, for the affected channel from the specified Trip Setpoint.

S or Sensor Error is either the "as measured" deviation of the sensor from its calibration point or the value specified in Table 3.3-3, 1

in percent span, from the analysis assumptions. Use of Equation 2.2-1 allows for a sensor drift factor, an increased rack drift factor, and provides a j

threshold value for REPORTABLE EVENTS.

The methodology t6 derive the Trip Setpoints is based upon combining all of the uncertainties in the channels.

Inherent to the determination of the Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties.

Sensor and rack instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes.

Rack drift in ex:ess of the Allowable Value exhibits the behavior that the rack has not met its allowance.

Being that there is a small statistical chance that this will happen, an infrequent excessive drift is expected.

Rack or sensor drift, in excess of the allowance that is more than occasional, may be indicative of more serious problems and should warrant further investigation.

INSTRUMENTATION BASES REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM and ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (Continued)

The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the Reactor trip and the Engineered Safety Features actuation associated with each channel is completed within the time limit assumed in the i

safety analyses. Response time limits for the Reactor Trip System and Engi-neered Safety Features Actuation System are maintained in Table 16.3-1 and 16.3-2 of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Final Safety Analysis Report (VEGP FSAR). No credit was taken in the analyses for those channels with response times indicated as not applicable.

Response time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel test measurements provided that such tests demonstrate the total channel response time as defined. Sensor response time verification may be demonstrated by either:

(1) in place, onsite, or offsite test measurements, or (2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response time.

The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System senses selected plant parameters and determines whether or not predetermined limits are being i

exceeded.

If they are, the signals are combined into logic matrices sensitive to combinations indicative of various accidents events, and transients. Once the required logic combination is completed, the system sends actuation signals to those Engineered Safety Features components whose aggregate function best j

serves the requirements of the condition.

As an example, the following actions may be initiated by the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System to mitigate the consequences of a steam line break or loss-of-coolant accident:

(1) ECCS pumps start and automatic valves position, (2) Reactor trip, (3) feed water j

isolation, (4) startup of the emergency diesel generators, (5) containment spray pumps start and automatic valves position (6) containment isolation, (7) steam line isolation, (8) turbine trip, (9) auxiliary feedwater pumps start and automatic valves position, (10) containment fan coolers start and automatic valves position, (11) Nuclear Service Cooling and Component Cooling water pumps start and automatic valves position, and (12) Control Room Ventilation Emergency Actuation Systems start.

The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System interlocks perform the following functions:

With pressurizer pressure above the P-ll setpoint, defeats manual block of safety injection actuation on low pressurizer pres-sure and safety injection and steam line isolation on low steam line pressure and defeats steam line isolation on high steam line negative pressure rate.

P-14 On increasing steam generator water level, P-14 automatically trips all feedwater isolation valves, initiates a turbine trip, and inhibits feedwater control valve modulation.

The Source Range High Flux at Shutdown Alarm Setpoint is an analysis assumption for mitigation of a Baron Dilution Event in MODES 3, 4, and 5.

3/4.3.3 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.3.1 RADIATION MONITORING FOR PLANT OPERATIONS The OPERABILITY of the radiation monitoring instrumentation for plant operations ensures that:

(1) the associated action will be initiated when the radiation level monitored by each channel or combination thereof reaches its Setpoint, (2) the specified coincidence logic is maintained, and (3) sufficient redundancy is maintained to permit a channel to be out-of-service for testing or maintenance. The radiation monitors for plant operations senses radiation levels in selected plant systems and locations and determines whether or not predetermined limits are being exceeded.

If they are, the signals are combined into logic matrices sensitive to combinations indicative of various accidents and abnormal conditions. Once the required logic combination is completed, the system sends actuation signals to initiate alarms or automatic isolation action and actuation of Emergency Exhaust or Ventilation Systems.

3/4.3.3.2 MOVABLE INCORE DETECTORS The OPERABILITY of the movable incore detectors with the specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this system accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the core. The OPERABILITY of this system is demonstrated by irradiating each detector used and determining the acceptability of its voltage curve.

" H a full incore flux map is used.

For the purpose of measuring F Z or Quarter-core flux maps, as defined l(n )WCAP-8k48, June 1976, may be used in recalibration of the Excore Neutron Flux Detection System, and full incore flux maps or symmetric,incore thimbles may be used for monitoring the QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO when one Power Range channel is inoperable.

This capa-bility is required to permit comparison of the measured response to that used in the design basis for the facility to determine if plant shutdown is required pursuant to Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 100.

The instrumentation on Unit 1 is shared with Unit 2 and the seismic instrumentation and corresponding Technical Specifications meet the recomendations of Regulatory Guide 1.12, Revision 1, April 1974.

3/4.3.3.4 METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures that sufficient meteorological data are available for estimating potential radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere. This capability is required ta evaluate the need for initiating protective measures to protect the health and safety of the public and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatcry Guide 1.23, "Onsite Meteorological Programs," February 1972.

3/4.3.3.5 REMOTE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Remote Shutdown System ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit safe shutdown of the facility from locations outside of the control room.

This capability is required in the event control room habitability is lost and is consistent with General Design Criterion 19 of 10 CFR Part 50.

The OPERABILITY of the Remote Shutdown System ensures that a fire will not preclude achieving safe shutdown.

The Remote Shutdown System instrumenta-tion, control, and transfer switches necessary to eliminate effects of the fire and allow operation of instrumentation, and control circuits required to achieve and maintain a safe shutdown condition are independent of areas where a fire could damage systems normally used to shut down the reactor. This capability is consistent with General Design Criterion 3 and CMEB 9.5.1.

3/4.3.3.6 ACCIDENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables following an accident.

(1) the safe shutdown of I

the facility, and (2) the mitigation and control of accident conditions within the facility. The minimum specified independent and redundant A.C. and D.C.

l power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criterion 17 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

l The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commensurate with the level of degradation. The OPERABILITY of the power sources are consistent with the initial condition assumptions of the safety analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one redundant set of onsite A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions coincident with an assumed loss-of-offsite power and single failure of the other onsite A.C. source.

The A.C. and D.C. source allowable out-of-service times are based on Regulatory Guide 1.93, " Availability of Electrical Power Sources," December 1974 and Appendix A to Generic Letter 84-15, " Proposed Staff Position to Improve and Maintain Diesel Generator Reliability." When one diesel generator is inoperable, there is an additional ACTION requirement to verify that all required systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices, that depend on the remaining OPERABLE diesel generator as a source of emergency power, are also OPERABLE, and that the steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump is OPERABLE. This requirement is intended to provide assurance that a loss-of-offsite power event will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems during the period one of the diesel generators is inoperable. The term, verify, as used in this context means to administratively check by examining logs or other information to determine if certain components are out-of-service for maintenance or other reasons.

It does not mean to perform the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate i

the OPERABILITY of the component.

The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that:

(1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods, and (2? sufficient instrumentation and control capa-bility is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.

The ACTION times specified for an inoperable automatic load sequencer are based on the times allowed when a combination of one diesel generator and one offsite circuit is inoperable. Under this condition the 4.16 kV Class 1E bus would remain energized. The ACTION conservatively addresses any consequential effects of an inoperable load sequencer on other engineered safety features.

In Modes 5 and 6 the automatic load sequencer is necessary to automatically strip the loads from the IE bus and start the operable diesel generator in the event of a loss of off site power (LOSP).

Since the design basis LOCA is not applicable in Modes 5 and 6 the automatic LOCA load sequencer l

function of the load sequencer is not required to be demonstrated as operable.

i Therefore, those surveillances that require sequencing of loads because of an SI signal are not required in Modes 5 and 6.

1) function to trip all closed breakers on the 4.16 kV Class i

generator; 3) close the breaker to supply power to the 4.16 kV Class 1 E bus from the associated diesel generator; and 4) close the breakers to supply power from the 4.16 kV Class IE bus to the LOSP required loads in the appropriate sequence.

During shutdown, the operability of the loss of power and undervoltage function for modes 5 and 6 of the automatic load sequencer is not affected by the inability to sequence and load equipment that is not required to be operable in Modes 5 and 6.

Surveillances to show the operability of the loss of power and undervoltage function of the automatic load sequencer will only include that equipment that is required to be OPERABLE in Modes 5 and 6.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the i

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance values, and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates, and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-2 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage, and specific gravity. The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity.

The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8-2 is permitted for up to 7 days.

During this 7-day period:

(1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability to perform its design function.
