t .9 .g' PROCEDURES GENERATION PACKAGE [ I l [ SECTION 1 I Introduction I. ~The Procedures Generation Package (PGP) has been developed in response -to Supplement 1 of NUREG-0737, part 7.2.b. Its purpose is to describe the - process for translating generic Westinghouse Emergency Response t Guidelines (ERGS) into plant specific Emergency Operating Procedures [ (EOPs). - This description includes the work necessary to complete the f initial draft of the function-oriented E0Ps 'and for maintaining these E0Ps after implementation. F II. The PCP consists of the following sections: i Section 1 '- Introduction .Section 2 Initial E0P Development Plant Specific Technical Guidelines Program for Verification / Validation 7 Section 3 EOP Administrative Controls Following Initial Implementation Purpose Applicability i Definitions Responsibilities References Instructions Appendices Tables and Figures Section'4 Training Program Description-s Sec~ tion 5 References i Section 6 Tables and Figures III. The flowpath for preparing the initial draft of the FOPS is shown on Figure 1, Section 6.0.

Proc:duraa Cen rcti:n P ck gn Page 2 SECTION 2 Initial Emergency Operating Procedure Development 1. Plant Specific Technical Guidelines A. The generic Westinghouse Owner's Group ERGS, Rev.1, dated September 1, 1983, which are based on the re-analysis of transients and accidents as described in NUREG-0737 item I.C.1 will be used as the technical guidelines from which plant specific E0Ps will be drafted. Following these guidelines will result in the E0Ps directing the operators actions in mitigating the consequences of transients and accidents without a need to diagnose an event to maintain the plant in a safe condition. B. The following major items were considered in the methodology used in translating the Westinghouse EPas into plant specific E0Ps. l l 1. Identification of design differences between the Westinghouse l reference plant and Beaver Valley Unit 1. These differences I are itemized on TABLE 1, Section 6. 1 2. Mechanics of conversion 3. Location of plant specific technical information 4. How the plant-specific technical information will be used 5. The use of old Emergency Operating Instructions 6. Documentation requirements 7. Use of background documents supplied with the technical guidelines 8. Best use of extensive operating experience C. Mechanics of Conversion 1. The designated E0P writer will obtain and review the following E0P source documents appropriate to the specific procedure being generated, a. Westinghouse Owners Group. Emergency Responso Guidelines Revision 1 dated September 1, 1983. b. Corresponding Westinghouse Owners Group

Beaver Valley Power Station Unit 1 Writers Guide for Emergency Operating Procedures, g. As Built Plant Drawings (as required). 2. The E0P draf t will be generated in accordance with the E0P Writers Guide contained in Section 3, Appendix E. a. By fc11owing the generic ERGS and the E0P writer's guide, the draft E0P will have been prepared utilizing accept-able human factors principles. 3. The direct involvement of a human factors specialist during the CRDR will further ensure the correct application of human factors principles as applied to the draft E0Ps during performance of the CRDR. 4. The designated E0P writer will generate an E0P draft, attempt-ing to follow to the maximum extent possible, the ERGS. A step by step correspondence between the draft E0P and the ERG, although ideal, may not be possible. It is therefore important that the writer attempt to maintain consistency of intent between the E0P and the ERG, while incorporating those deviations deemed necessary to account fort a. Known equipment. differences between the ERG reference plant and BVPS Unit 1. b. Known plant condition differences between the ERG refer-ence plant and BVPS Unit 1. c. Licensing commitments for BVPS Unit 1. d. Resolutions of deficiencies identified by the BVPS E0P Verification or Validation Programs. e. Recommendations obtained from operator experience. 5. The E0P writer will document all deviations as identified in Step 3 above on the "EOP-ERG Deviation" form (Figure 53B-1) in Section 3. This documentation is required tot a. Provide required information during E0P verification. b. Provide required basis information during future E0P revision.

'~~ c. ' Provide documentation.to allow for adequate evaluation of the safety significance' of the deviation during OSC review prior to. final' approval, d. Provide justification for the deviation during validation of the E0P. e. Demonstrate to the NRC, upon request, that all deviations to the. ERGS have' been recorded and the safety signifi- .cance of each has been determined. Note:' ' Examples of deviations that do not constitute a change in mitigation strategy include: - changes in wording to clarify the intent of a step - change in step order to accommodate plant design ' deletion of a step to accommodate plant design addition of notes, cautions or steps based on existing operating procedures, operator experience, or plant license com-mitments '6. If a significant deviation is determined to exist during the OSC review, it can remain ' as part of the E0P provided an analysis has been prepared for review by the OSC to demon-strate that it is-acceptable and that the plant can be brought to a safe condition. a. . A : deviation which has safety significance (significant deviation) shall be ' reported to the NRC along with the analysis or technical justification. '7. The E0P writer will generate a background document providing a step by step ' description of the E0P in accordance with the BVPS Unit 1 E0P Background Document Writers Guide. D. Control Room Instrumentation and Controls 1. The generic ERGS have as their basis, the re-analysis of transients and accidents from which the operator information and control needs necessary for mitigation of the events'were identified. Consistency will be maintained between the operator information and control needs identified in the generic ERCS and the draft E0Ps. 2. The CRDR task analysis, which includes a verification of instrumentation activity, will utilize the draf t E0Ps in order to:

.~ Pr:c;durac Gensrition Packsga P:g3 5 a. ' identify the characteristics of the instrumentation and controls needed to satisfy the operators information and control requirements, b. determine the availability and suitability of existing instruments and controls to satisfy these requirements.

3..

The CRDR task analysis will be documented; will provide feedback to the E0P development effort and resolve any result-ing human engineering deficiencies in accordance with the CRDR Program Plan. 4. Deviations to the ERG background document equipment qualifica-tion statements need not be addressed as this issue is being documented separately under 10CFR50.49 and the review of instrumentation identified in Regulatory Guide 1.97. To do so could influence the E0P development objective for maintaining consistency between the generic ERGS and draft E0Ps. a. The results of the Regulatory Guide 1.97 review will provide feedback to the operators instrumentation and control requirements. b. Deviations may be identified at this stage of instrumen-tation and controls review and as such will be reviewed by the Onsite Safety Committee to determine their safety significance. II. Program for Verifi, cation / Validation A. The programs for verification and validation provide assurance that each draft E0P is: 1. Technically correct in that it accurately reflects the generic technical guidelines. 2. Written correctly _ in that it accurately reflects the 60P Writer's Guide. 3. Usable in that the procedure can be underatood and followed by trained operators, without confusion, delays or errors. 4. Operationally correct in that there is a correspondence ,between the procedure and the control room / plant hardware, and that the language and level of information presented in the E0P ' is compatible with the minimum number, qualification, training and experience of the operating staff. 5. Capable of directing the operating staff in managing emergency conditions. B.. The verification program is described in Appendix D of Section 3.

Procedures Generation Package Page 6 1. The detailed instructions of this program provides the admin-istrative process to be followed in determining if each E0P is technically correct and written correctly and includes:

  • a.

a process for identifying discrepancies b. a process for resolving discrepancies c. a feedback mechanism for evaluating changes to the E0P which may result during the verification process 2. This verification program was prepared following the guidance contained in the Emergency Operating Procedures Verification Guidelines written by the Emergency Operating Proceduree Implementation Assistance (EOPIA) Review Group and published by INPO. C. The validation programs include table-top, control-room walk through and simulator validation. 1. The validation programs provide the administrative process to be followed in determining if the procedure is usable and operationally correct and includes: a. a process for identifying discrepancies b. a process for resolving discrepancies c. a feedback mechanism for evaluating changes to the E0P which may result during the validation process. 2. All three programs will be used for validating E0Ps. Detailed instructions for each of the validation programs are included in Section 3. a. table-top validation; Appendix A, Section 3 b. control room walk-through validation; Appendix B, Section 3 c. E0P validation on the simulator; Appendix C, Section 3 3. All E0Ps will be validated. 4. The criteria for selecting scenarios, when used, will be developed as part of the CRDR to assure procedures can be used by the operators in the control room with minimum shift staffing. The following bases will be used to nelect the final set of event sequences when developing a scenario: a.

The designated E0P writer shall generate a draft E0P or E0P revision in accordance with the following guidance: 1. Obtain and review the following E0P source documents appropriate to the specific procedure being generated to ensure previous conclusions reached and assumptions made during the initial drafting of the E0Ps is not invalidated. Westinghouse Owners Group, Emergency Response Guidelines, (Most current approved revision) NOTE: For initial implementation of the symptom and function based E0Ps, the WOG ERGS, Revision 1 dated September 1983 was used. Westinghouse Owners Group Background Documents (procedure specific, and generic issues) Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 Technical Specifications Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 Operating Manual As Built plant drawings (as required) Deviation Sheets resulting from previous E0P drafts. 2. Any revision to the E0Ps not initiated by the WOG must be reviewed against the source documents. This is to assure that the mitigating strategy is maintained and that a deviation significant to safety is not incorporated which would invalidate the analysis which forms the basis for the acceptability of symptom based E0Ps. 3. Any revision to the E0Ps initiated by an ERG revision should follow to the maximum extent possible the WOG ERGS or guidance provided by the WOG in order to avoid if possibic, significant deviations which constitute a change in mitigation strategy. A step-by-step correspondence between the E0P draft and the ERGS, although ideal, will most probably not be possible. It is therefore important that the writer attempt to maintain correspondence of intent, while incorporating those deviations deemed necessary to account for: a. Known equipment differences between the ERG reference plant and BVPS Unit 1. ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

' Instructions 'should be short and concise. General rules to be used in' meeting these objectives are as follows: -a. Instruction steps should deal with only one idea. b. Short,. simple sentences should be used in preference to long, compound, or complex sentences, Complex evolutions should be prescribed in a series of steps, c. with each step made as simple as practicable. d. Objects-of. operator actions should be specifically stated. This includes identification of exactly what is to be done and to what. -e. Limits should be expressed quantitatively whenever possible. -f, Mandatory _ sequence of steps is assumed unless otherwise stated. g. - Identification of components and' parts should be complete. t. 'b 'h.. Instruction. content should be written to communicate to the user. 1. Expected results of routine tasks need not be stated. j. When actions are required based upon receipt of an - annunciated alarm,-list the setpoint of the alarm for ease of verification. ' k. When : requiring resetting or restoration of an alarm or trip,- . list the expected results immediately following the resetting. or restoration-if it would be beneficial to the operator. s 1. When considered. beneficial to the -user for proper-understanding and-performance, describe the system response itime associated with performance of the instruction, m. When system response dictates a time frame within which the instruction must be accomplished, prescribe such time frame. If possible,,however, avoid using time to initiate operator actions,- Operator actions should be related to plant parameters. ISSUE 1 REVISION 0 g,

Units of measure specified in procedural steps shall be consistant with actual units used on plant equipment. o. When-anticipated system response may. adversely affect instrument indications, describe the conditions that will likely introduce instrument error and means of determining if instrument error has occured by using a NOTE. p. When additional confirmation of system response is considered necessary, prescribe the backup readings to be made. B. ' Instruction Column 1. The left column of the dual-column format will contain the operatorrinstructional steps. The following rules are established for this column, _in addition to the general rules above. a. Expected indications should be presented in this column. b. Operator actions in this column should be appropriate for the expected indications. C. Response Not Obtained Column 1. Contingency actions 'will be presented in the right column of the dual-column format. Contingency actions are operator actions that should be'taken'in the even a stated conditon, event or task does not represent or achieve the expected. result. The need for contingency action occurs in conjunction with tasks involving verification, observation, confirmation and monitoring. 2. Contingency actions will be specified for each circumstance in which the expected results or actions might not be achieved. The contingency actions should identify, as appropriate, directions to override automatic controls and to initiate manually what is normally_ automatically initiated. D. Use of Logic Terms 1. The logic terms AND, OR,

NOT, IF, IF NOT, WHEN, and THEN are necessary to describe precisely a set of conditions or sequence of actions.

When logic statements are used,, logic terms will be highlighted so that all the conditions are clear to the operator. Emphasis will be achieved by using capitilization and underlining. All letters of the logic terms shall be capitalized and the logic term shall'be underlined. ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

b. The' word CAUTION shall be underlined and printed in large,

type, c.

The CAUTION information will immediately. precede the step to which.It applies, d. Multiple ; statements included under a single descriptive heading shall be separately identified. .5. .The following-format shall be used to denote a NOTE: a. To distinquish a NOTE from action steps and CAUTION j information, the NOTE 'shall be enclosed in boxes (framing) 4 and will extend across the entira page as shown in Figure 53B-12. b. The : word NOTE shall be underlined and printed in large type. c. The' NOTE will immediately precede the step to which it applies. d. Multiple statements included under single descriptor heading .shall be separately identified. 6. As a general rule, neither a CAUTION or NOTE will be used to replace an instruction / operator action step.

LSO Procedures Generation Package BVPS - E0P 1.53B.1 ,Page 49-Executive Volume APPENDIX E (continued) -1. Mathematical calculations should be avoided in the E0Ps. If a value has to be determined in order to perform a procedural step, a.chartfor graph should be used whenever possible. G. Referencing and Branching to Other Procedures or Steps 1. Referencing implies that an additional procedure or additional steps will be used as a supplement to the procedure presently being used. a. Referencing other steps within the procedure being used, either future steps or completed steps, should be minimized. b. When only a few steps would be involved in the referencing the steps should be stated in the procedure as they are needed.- 2. To minimize potential operator confusion, branching will be used when the op3rator is to leave one procedure or step and use another procedure or step. a. Use the key-words "GO T0" to direct the operator to leave the present step and not return until directed. b. Specify information as to procedure and step directed to. 3. Use the key words " Refer to" when the operator is directed to use a procedure or attachment as a gu leline and concurrently with the procedure. 4. Use quotation marks to emphasize the title of the referenced or branched procedure; examples: GO TO E-1 " Loss of Reactor Coolant", GO TO Step 20. H. . Component Identification 1. With respect to identification of components, the following rules are to be followed: Equipment, controls, and displays will be identified in operator language (common usage) terms. These terms may not always match engraved names on panels but will be complete, b. When the engraved names and numbers on panel placards and alarm windows are specifically the item of concern in the procedure, the engraving should be quoted verbatim and emphasized by using all capitals. ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

k, J' . 3 W Proce'dures Generation Package BVPS - E0P 1.53B.1 Page 50 Executive Volume 4 APPENDIX E'(continued) c. The' names of plant system titles are emphasized by initial capitalization. When the word " system" is deleted from the title because of brevity and is understood because of the context, the ' title is also emphasized by initial capitalization. d. If the component is seldom used, or if it is felt that the component would be difficult to

find, the benchmark identification should be specified in brackets and location information should follow:

1 Examp'e: [1SI-P-1A] at BB-A I. Level of Detail 1. Too much detail in E0Ps should be avoided in the interest of being able to effectively execute the instructions in a timely manner. The level of detail required is the detail that a newly trained and licensed. operator'would desire during emergency conditions. 2. To assist in detemining the level of E0P detail, the following general rules apply. s. For control circuitry that executes an entire function upon actuation af the control switch, the action verb appropriate to the component suffices without further amplification of how to manipult,te the control' device; for example "Close Pressurizar Spray Valves (1RCS-PCV455A (455D)]. Recommended action verbs are as follows: For power-driven rotating equipment, use START, STOP. For valves, use OPEN, CLOSE, THROTTLE. For power distribution breakers, use SYNCHRONIZE, CLOSE and OPEN. For control switches with a positional placement that establishes a standby readiness condition, the verb " SET" should be used, along with the engraved name of the desire position. Positional placements are typically named "AUT0" or " NORMAL"; for example, SET PORV ccatrol switches in AUTO. For multiposition control switches that have more than j one position for a similar function, placement to the desired position should be specified; for example, " Place Sample Return Valve Control Switch in NORMAL". ISSUE 1 REVISION O .. -.l

Procedures Generation Package BVPS - E0P 1.53B.1 Page 51 Executive Volume APPENDIX E (continued) Standard practices for observing for abnormal results need not be prescribed within procedural steps. For example, observation of noise, vibration erratic flow, or discharge pressure need not be specified by steps that start pumps (also refer to Table 1 - Glossary). J. Printed Operator Aids 1. When information is presented using graphs, charts, tables, and figures, these aids must be self explanatory, legible and readable under the expected conditions of use and within the reading precision of the operator. 2. Units of Measure a. Units of measure on Figures, tables, and attachements should be given for numerical values that represent observed, measurement data, or calculated results. A virgule (slant line) should be used instead of "per". For example: ft/sec., lbs/hr, etc. 3. Titles and IIcadings a. Capitalization should be used for reference to tables, figures, titles of tables, figures within text material, and column headings within a table. Examples: Refer to Figure 201 for. as shown in Table 20. Equipment Power Supplies, etc. 4. Figure, Table, and Attachment Numbering a. Sequential arabic numbers should be assigned to figures, tables, and attachments in separate series. The sequence should correspond with the order of their reference in the text. The symbol "#" and abbreviation "No." are unnecessary and should not be used. The number alone suffices. Examples: Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. Table 1, Table 2, etc.,, etc. b. Page identification for attachments should consist of a block of information that identifics: 1) Procedure number 2) Attachment number ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

r Procedures Generation Package BVPS - E0P 1.53B.1 Page 52 Executive Volume APPENDIX E (continued) 3) Page number 4) Revision number Page numbering of attachment shall conform with the requirements of Section II Step E.1 a & b, "Page Numbering". The first page of an Attachment will be "Page 1 of __". V. MECHANICS OF STYLE A. Spelling 1. Spelling should be consistent with modern usage. When a choice of spelling is offered by a dictionary, the first spelling should be used. B. Puctuation 1. Punctuation should be used only as necessary to aid reading and prevent misunderstand 1ngs. Word order should be selected to require a minimum of punctuation. When extensive punctuation is necessary for_ clarity, the sentence should be rewritten and possibly made into several sentences. Punctuation should be in accordance with the following rules: a. Brackets shall be used to indicato equipment benchmark

numbers, b.

Colon - shall be used to indicate that a list of items is to follow, for example: Restore cooling flow as follows: c. Comma Use of many commas is a sign the instruction is too compicx and needs to be rewritten. Therefore, evaluate the number of commas to ensure the instruction is not to complex. Use comma after conditional phrases for clarity and ease of reading. Example: WHEN level decreases to 60 inches, THEN start pump. d. Parentheses - shall be used to indicate alternative items in a procedure or instruction usually denotes B train components. e. Periods - shall be used at the end of complete sentences and for indicating the decimal place in numbers. f. Capitalization - shall be used to emphasize the directing of equipment operation, for example: CLOSE PRZR PORV(s). "GO ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

--,o Procedures Generation Package BVPS - E0P 1.53B.1 Page 53 Executive Volume APPENDIX E.(continued) T0" shall be captialized when directing branching to other procedures. All accronyms and logic words shall be capitalized. Other places where normal English convention would require its use should be capitalized. g. Hyphenation shall be used between elements of a compound word when standard usage calls for it. When doubt exists, the compound word should be restructured to avoid hyphenation. C. Use of Underlining 1. Underlining will be used for emphasis of the following items: a. The major task defined in each step. b. Logic terms (i.e., IF, THEN, IF NOT, etc) Headings of CAUTIONS and NOTES (i.e., CAUTION, NOTE). c. d. Headings of Attachments, and columns in attachments. D. Vocabulary 1. Words used in procedures should convey precise understanding for a trained person. The following rules apply: a. Use simple words. Simple words are usually short words of few syllables, b. Use common usage if it makes the procedure easier to understand, c. Use words that are concrete rather than vague, specific rather than general, familiar rather than formal, precise rather than blanket. d. Define key words that may be understood in more than one sense. e. Verbs with specific meanings should be used. f. Equipment status should be denoted as follows: 1) Operable / operability These words mean that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is cepable of performing its specified function (s) in the intended manner. Implicit in this definition is the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls. ISSUE 1 REVISION 0 L ~

-Procedures Generation Package BVPS - E0P 1.53B.1 Page 54 Executive Volume t' APPENDIX E (continued) normal and emergency electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxilary equipment required for the system, subsystem, train, component, or -device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing related support function (s). g 2) Operating This word means that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is in service and is performing its specified function (s) and that Equipment Clearances, or other conditions do not prevent it from maintaining that service. 3) Available This word means that a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is operable and can be used as desired; however, it need not be in service. E. Numerical Values 1. The use of numerical values should be consistent with the following rules: a. Arabic numerals should be used. I b. For numbers less than unity, the decimal point should be preceded by a zero; for example 0.1 c. The number of significant digits should be equal to the number of significant digits available from the display and l the reading precision of the operator. d. Acceptance values should be specified in such a way that addition and subtraction by the user is avoided if possible. This can generally be done by stating acceptance values as limits. Examples: 510 F maximum, 300 psig minimum; 580 to 600F. For calibration points, statement of the midpoint and its lower and upper limits would accomplish the same purpose: For example: 10 mil 11 amperes (9.5 to 10.5). Avoid using i. a. Engineering units should always be specified for numerical values of process variables. They should be the same as those used on the control room displays, for example: psig instead of psi. F. Abbreviations, Letter Symbols, and Acronyms 1. The use of abbreviations should be minimized because they may be confusing to those who are not throughly familiar with them. Abbreviations may be used where necessary to save time and space, ISSUE 1 REVISION 0 L

r-4 Procedures Generation Package BVPS - E0P 1.53B.1 Page 55 Executive Volume APPENDIX E (continued) and when their meaning is unquestionably clear to the intended reader. Consistency should be maintained through the procedure. 2. Capitalization of abbreviations.Aould be uniform. If the abbreviation is comprised of lowercase letters, it should appear in lowercase in a title or heading. The period should be omitted in abbreviations except in cases where the omission would result in confusion. 3. Letter symbols may be used to represent operations, qualities, elements, relations and quantities. 4. An acronym is a type of symbol formed by the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term. Acronyms may be used if they are defined, or commonly used. 5. Abbreviations, symbols, and acronyms should not be overused. Their use should be for the benefit of the reader. They_ can be beneficial by saving reading time, ensuring clarity when space is limited and communicating mathematical ideas. 6. Refer to Table 53B-4 for a list of approved acronyms and abbreviations. VI. CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED CONDITIONS Since plant symptom changes may occur, items not identified by the E0P are addressed by the use of: " Symptomatic Response / Unexpected Conditions" and/or " Critical Safety Function Status Trees." A. Symptomatic Response / Unexpected Conditions 1. Provides a mechanism to identify operator actions that should be . performed any time a listed symptom appears during the performance of an E0P. 2. The information listed will be contained on one page in the format present in Figure 53-14. 3. A Symptomatic Response / Unexpected Conditions sheet will be provided for each E-series and ECA-series procedure which will appear on the back side of each page in the procedure body. B. Critical Safety Function Status Trees (CSF). 1. Provides a mechanism to address potential challenges to the state of plant safety that could occur at any time during and E0P which would require a transition to a FRP. ISSUE 1 REVISION 0

  • Containment spray signals are automatically. initiated by the same parameters for,the described reference plant and BVPS Unit 1.

Identical to .the described reference' plant, High-3 (10 psig)- . containment pressure or manual operator initiation will automatically initiate a complete containment spray system start, and an initiation -of containment isolation Phase B (CIB). . Actuation and_ reset capability of the ccntainment spray system and the ~ containment isolation Phase B are accomplished by a common actuation reset push button- (one for each train) and, therefore, are always accomplished simultaneously. This actuation / reset arrangement varies .from -_the described reference plant in that CIB and Containment Spray System as described in the reference. plant may be actuated or reset independently. This difference offers no significant problem since the reset capability does' not provide a signal to change status of equipme-+ but merely allows the operator to take manual control of the respective equipment. c.

7. Reactor Coolant System'(RCS)

The BVPS Unit 1 RCS performs the same function as the described reference plant. It does have three distinct variations in configuration, these being: F a three-loop design instead of four .three pressurizer PORVs instead of-two loop isolation. valves '8. Safety Injection System (SI) The BVPS Unit 1 SI System performs. identical functions as those described for the reference plant. The BVPS SI System is slightly different in configuration than -the described reference plant. These differences are:

  • BVPS does not have a subsystem corresponding to the reference plant High-Head SI subsystem-(HHSI). SI flow at high pressure (greater than approx.

805 ps~i) is provided exclusively by the charging /HHSI subsystem. This system corresponds to the described reference charging /SI subsystem.

  • -BVPS Unit l's Boron Injection Tank contains a minimum of 900 gallons of primary-grade makeup water, borated to between 2000 and 7700 ppm.

The BVPS Unit 1 Low-Head SI (LHSI) subsystem does not interface with the .esidual Heat Removal System. These systems are completely separate. (See R m description of RHR System below.) -.The BVPS Unit 1 SI-Accumulator subsystem has a minimum pressurization requirement of 605 psi.

9. Residual Heat Removal System (RHR)

The-BVPS Unit 1 RHR System is constructed similarly and operates identically to the described reference system. The singular difference between the systems is that tho' BVPS RHR System is provided with two pumps (independent of the LHSI pumps) utilized for Reactor Coolant circulation while utilizing the RHR System.

(See description of difference of the LHSI systems in Item 8.)
10. Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS)

The. described reference plant and the BVPS Unit 1 CVCS systems are essentially identical. The one exception to their similarity is the BVPS system having three centrifugal charging /HHSI pumps instead of the reference system's two centrifugal and one positive displacement-pump.

11. Component Cooling Water System (CCR)

The' described reference system and the BVPS Unit 1 system are essentially identical.

Procedures Generation Package Page 91 TABLE 1 (Continued)

12. Service Water System (RPRW)

The BVPS Unit 1 Reactor Plant River Water System functions to satisfy the reference plant's' service water system.

13. Containment Spray System The described reference system correlates to the BVPS Unit 1 Quench Spray System.

The Quench Spray System and the additional Recirc Spray System utilized by BVPS Unit 1 are described in Attachment A.

14. Contalument Atmospheric Control System The Containment Atmospheric Control System described by the WOG in the reference plant and that utilized at BVPS Unit 1 perform nearly identical functions.

The major apparent diffarence is the safety grade and major function of the fan coolers in containment. The described reference plant has safety grade fan coolers tasked with post-accident containment heat removal. This differs from BVFS in that the containment fan coolers are not safety grade and, although their operation is desirabic under post-accident conditions, the design requirements for post-accident heat rernoval requirements are satisfied by the Containment Spray System -(See Item 13.)

15. Main Steam System (M31 The described reference Main Steam System and the BVPS Unit 1 Main Steam System are designed to perform the same functions.

Five major physical differences exist in the configuration of the systems: The BVPS system has three instead of four steam generators (SGs).

  • The BVPS SGs are isolated by trip and non-return valves instead of simple isolation valves.
  • The BVPS MS System has an additional steam release path provided by the Residual Heat Release valve. This valve is an air operated to open, spring return to cicae, valve capable of relieving approx. 200 k lbm/hr (1.7%

thermal power). This release corresponds to reactor decay heat and RCS pump heat 20 to 25 minutes after a full power reactor trip.

  • -The design and normal cperating pressure of the BVPS MS System are slightly lower than those described in the reference plant, i.e.,

1085/1005, respectively, instead of 1185/1100. The BVPS steam supply to the turbine-driven AFW pump originates from each of the three SGs and has manual isolation capability from individual SGs. The AFW pumps cannot be remotely isolated, but swing check valves are supplied in the supply lines to minimize the probability of simultaneous SG depressurization during steamline break accidents. The steam supplies are administratively controlled to provide steam from two of three SGs at all times.

U Pcg2 95 ATTACHMENT A Excerpt from BVPS Operating Manual, Chapter 13 SU9ARY CESCRIPTICN The ccatainment dept.essurization system is composed of two groups of subsystems (1) the caench spray and (2) the recirculation spray subsystem.

The quench spray pubsystem, shown in Figure 13-1, is made up of two separate perallel suhsystems consisting of a pump discharging to a 360 degree spray headte located just beneath the top of the reactor containment. Each cse being 100 percent capacity. Each of these subsystems draws water independently from the refueling water storage tank -(RWST). Both quench spray pumps start automatically upon receipt of a containment isolation phase B (CIB) signal. In addition to the cooling and depressurization functions of the spray fluid, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution is added to the quench spray from the chemical addition tank to improve removal of radioactive iodine from the contair. ment atmosphere. The addition of sodium hydroxide solution frem the chemical addition tank occurs automatically when the quench spray subsystems are energized by a CI3 signal. Redundant trains of two rotary positive displacement pumps and a block valve are provided to meter the (NaOH) into the Quench Spray Pump suctions to assure uniform spray chemistry under all postulated operating modes of quench spray. The quench spray pH is maintained between 8.5 and 10.9 while caustic addition is occurring. Under those' conditions where both trains of the chemical addition systems are available to the quench spray system, the Chemical Addition Tank may be exhausted before the Refueling Water Storage Tank and the quench spray will become a boric acid spray for the duration of quench spray operation. The sump pH will have reached a minimum of 8.5 in these cases and thus the recirculation spary pH will be at or above 8.f. During quench spray when the containment returns to subatmospheric pressure following a Loss of Coolant Accident (LCCA), quench spray flow will be -reduced to approximately 1,100 gpa per train to minimize subatmospheric peak pressure. This reduction is accomplished by the addition of an orifice in parallel with motor operated valve [MOV-QS-103A & B] on each . quench spray pump discharge. The normally open motor operated valve (McV-QS-103A & B] permits full quench spray flow following a LOCA until the containment is again subatmospheric. Then on a Refueling Water Storage Tank level signal the valve [MOV-QS-103A& B] will close and quench spray flow will be throttled to approximately 1,100 gpa by the orifices. Each of four recirculation spray subsystems, shewn in Figure 13-1, censists of a recirculation pump, a recirculation spray cooler, and each feeds a 130 degree spray ring header located beneath tne tcp of the reactor containment . approximately 80 feet a%ove the cperating floor. The four1 recirculation spray pumps take their suction from the containment sump. The sump is -enclosed by a protective screen assembly which prevents debris frts entering the pump suction and precludes clogging of the spray ring noz=les. Two of the recirculatica spray pumps and associated motors are located outside the containment and are designated as the outside recirculation -spray pumps. The other two pumps and motors are located inside of containment and are designated the inside recirculation spray cumns. Se outside recirculatica spray pumps can also be used to provide suction for i the high head safety injection pumps af ter a 03A, if both low head safety [ injection pumps fail. In order to provide adequate NPSH for the recirculation spray (RS) pumps, cold QS water is diverted to the RS pump suctions. Approximately 150 gpm is diverted to each inside RS pump, and approximately 300 gpm is diverted to each outside RS pump. Orifices are esployed to provide the -necessary flow split between each set of outside and inside RS pumps. All four recirculation spray pumps start automatically, after a time delay, on a CIB signal. The time delay in starting the irside and outstde I rceirculation spray pumps allows the containment sump to fill. The sump is filled frcm the quench spray system plus water due to ruptured lines or vessels in the reactor coolant system. The quench spray and recirculation spray subsystems are QA Category I and are designed for seismic loading. Should both LHSI pumps fail during a LOCA, the outside recirculatica pumps can supply suction to tne HHSI pumps to provide a means of recirculating water to the 1015I pumps or to the reacter cold legs. w._}}
