2'. 2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS The Reactor Trip Setpoint Limits specified in Table 2.2-1 are the nominal values at which the Reactor trips are set for each functional unit. The Trip Setpoints have beea selected to ensure that the core and Reactor Coolant System are prevented from exceeding their safety limits during normal operation and i

design basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System in mitigating the consequences of accidents.

The setpoint for a Reactor Trip System or interlock function is considered to be adjusted consistent with the nominal value when the "as left" setpoint is l

within the band allowed for calibration accuracy and instrument drift.

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 Reactor Trip Setpoints have been spacified in Table 2.2-1.

Operation 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.

l The methodology to 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.

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

Rack drift in excess 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.

LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS f

BASES

-REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued)

The various Reactor trip circuits automatically open the Reactor trip breakers whenever a condition monitored by the Reactor Trip System reaches a preset or calculated level.

In addition to redundant channels and trains, the design approach provides a Reactor Trip System which monitors numerous system variables, therefore providing Trip System functional diversity. The func-tional capability at'the specified trip setting is required for those antici-patory or diverse Reactor trips for which no direct credit was assumed in the i

safety analysis to enhance the overall reliability of the Reactor Trip System.

The Reactor Trip System initiates a Turbine trip signal whenever Reactor trip is initiated. This prevents the insertion of positive reactivity that would otherwise result from excessive Reactor Coolant System cooldown and thus avoids unnecessary actuation of the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System.

Manual Reactor Trio The Reactor Trip System includes manual Reactor trip capability.

Power Rance. Neutron Flux In each of the Power Range Neutron Flux channels there are two independent bistables, each with its own trip setting used for a High and Low Range trip setting.

The Low Setpoint trip provides protection during suberitical and low power operations to mitigate the consequences of a power excursion beginning from low power, and the High Setpoint trip provides protection during power operations to mitigate the consequences of a reactivity excursion from all power levels.

The Low Setpoint trip may be manually blocked above P-10 (a power level of approximately 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER) and is automatically reinstated below the P-10 Setpoint.

Power Rance. Neutron Flux. Hioh Rates The Power Range Positive Rate trip provides protection against rapid flux increases which are characteristic of a rupture of a control rod drive housing.

Specifically, this trip complements the Power Range Neutron Flux High and Low trips to ensure that the criteria are met for rod ejection from mid-power.

The OPERABILITY of the Reactor Trip System and the Engineered Safety

)

Features Actuation System instrumentation and interlocks ensures that: (1) the j

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 and 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-i neered safety features instrumentation, and (3) 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 comparable to the original design standards. The periodic surveillance tests performed 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", WCAP-10271 Supplement 2, " Evaluation of Surveillance Frequencies and Out of Service 4

Times for the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System" and supplements to these reports as approved by the NRC and documented in the SER (letters to Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) dated February 21, 1985, February 22, 1989, and April 30, 1990).

The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System Instrumentation Trip Setpoints 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 left" Setpoint is within the band l

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, Allow-1 able Values for the Setpoints have been specified in Table 3.3-3.

Operation 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 accom-modate this error.

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

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

Inherent to the determination of the j

Trip Setpoints are the magnitudes of these channel uncertainties.

Sensor and rack instrumentation utilized in these channels are expected to be capable of l

operating within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes.

Rack drift in excess 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 i

serious problems and should warrant further investigation.

The measurement of response time specified in the Technical Requirements Manual at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the Reactor trip i

and the Engineered Safety Features actuation associated with each channel is completed within the time limit assumed in the safety analyses. No credit was taken in the analyses for those channels with response _ times indicated as not i

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.

i 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 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) feedwater isolation, (4) startup of the emergency diesel generators, (5) containment spray L

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) station service water pumps start and automatic valves position, (11) Control Room Emergency Recirculation starts, and (12) i essential ventilation systems (safety chilled water, electrical area fans, i

. primary plant ventilation ESF exhaust fans, battery room exhaust fans, and UPS e

ventilation) start.
