o NRC QUESTION 1 The BWR/GE test program utilized a " rams head" discharge pipe conf iguration. Most plants utilize a " te e" quencher conf igura-tion at the end of' the discharge line. Describe the discharge pipe configuration used at your plant and compare the anticipated loads in this configuration to the measured loads in the test program. Discuss the impact of any differences in loads on valve operability.
RESPONSE TO OUESTION 1
- y. .
The safety / relief valve discharge piping configuration at-LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 utilizes a " tee" quencher at the discharge pipe exit. The average length of the 18 SRV discharge lines ( SRVDL) leading to the suppression pool is 157 ft. and the submergence length in the suppression pool is approximately 23 ft. The SRV test program utilized = a rams head at the discharge pipe exit, a pipe length of 112 ft. and a submergence length of approximately 13 ft. Loads on valve internals during the test program are larger than loads on valve internals in the LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 configuration for the following reasons:
- 1. No dynamic mechanical load originating at the " tee" quencher is transmitted to the valve in the LaSalle Station configura-tion because there is at least one anchor point between the
-valve and the " tee" quencher.
2.- The first length of the segment of piping downstream of the SRV in the test f acility was longer than the LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 piping, thereby resulting in a bounding dynamic mechanical load on the valve in the test program.
The first segment length in the test facility is 12 ft.
.whereas this length is a maximum of 8'-8" in the plant con-
-figuration.
- 3. Dynamic hydraulic loads (backpressure) are experienced by the valve internals in the LaSalle Station configuration. The backpressure loads may be either (i) transient backpressures
. occurring during valve actuation, or (ii) steady-state CEC-1 _
, g: 'p,
'backpressures occurring during steady-state flow following valve actuation.
~
(a) . The -key parameters affecting the transient backpressures are : the fluid pressure upstream of the valve, the valve
" opening time, the fluid inertia in the submerged SRVDL send the SRVDL air volume. Transient backpressures in-
. crease with _ higher upstream pressure, shorter valve opening times and greater line submergence, a'nd decrease
.witti ' greater SRVDL air volume. The maximum transient
- backpressure occurs with high pressure steam flow condi-
.tions - a condition that LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 have experienced during operation. Furthermore, an in-plant SRV test was performed on LaSalle County Station Unit 1 to demonstrate - that the design criteria
-bound the actual loads ~ on the SRV discharge lines and containment. The transient backpressure for the alter-nate shutdown cooling mode of operation is ' always much less than that ' for the design for steam flow conditions because L of the lower upstream pressure and the slower valve opening time.
(b) The steady-state backpressure in the test program was
- maximized by utilizing an orifice plate in thE SRVDL
'above the water level and before the ramshead. The orifice was sized to produce -a backpressure greater than
'that calculated for any of - the LaSalle- County Station Units 1 and 2 SRVDLs.
SBecause 'of 'the differences in the line configuration between the
_LaSalle' County Station Units 1 and 2 and the test program, as
- discussed above, the resultant loads on the valve internals for the test . f acility bound the actual LaSalle Station loads. An additional consideration in the selection of the ramshead for the
-test f acility was to allow more direct measurement of the thrust
{:
-load in the final pipe: segment. Utilization of a " tee" quencher e 'i n ' the test ' program would have required quencher supports that would< unnecessarily obscure accurate measurement of the pipe CEC-1 ^
N
thrust loads. For the reasons stated above, differences between
.the SRVDL configurations at LaSalle Station and the test- f acility result in more setere loads during the tests; therefore, SRV operability at LaSalle Station is confirmed by the tests.
NRC OUESTION 2 The test configuration utilized no spring hangers as pipe sup-ports. . Plant specific configurations do use spring hangers in conjunction with snubber and rigid supports. Describe the safety relief valve - pipe supports used at your plant and compare the anticipated loads on valve internals for the plant pipe supports to the measured loads in the test program. Describe the impact of any differences in loads on valve operability.
RESPONSE TO OUESTION 2 The LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 safety / relief valve discharge lines (SRVDLs) are supported by a combination of snub-bers, rigid supports, and spring hangers. The locations of snub-bers and rigid supports at LaSalle Station are such that the location of such supports in the BWR generic test facility is prototypical, i.e., ir. each case (at LaSalle and at the test facility) there are supports near each change of direction in the pipe routing. ; Additionally, each SRVDL at LaSalle Station has only 1 or 2 spring hangers, all of which' are located in the dry-well. The . spring ' hangers , snubbers and rigid supports were de-signed to accommodate combinations of loads resulting from piping
~
dead weight, thermal conditions, seismic and suppression pool hydrodynamic events, and a high pressure steam discharge tran-
-sient during a steam discharge event.
The ' dynamic load effects on the piping and supports of the test facility due to the water discharge event (the alternate shutdown cooling mode) were found to be significantly lower than corre- ..
sponding loads resulting from the high pressure steam discharge
-event. As stated in NEDE-24988-P, this finding is considered generic to all BWRs since the test facility was designed to be prototypical of the features pertinent to this issue.
CEC-1 - _ _ ._ _. ,
'During the water discharge tEansient there. will be significantly lower' dynamic loads resulting~from the valve operation and subse-Equent' water. flow adting on the snubbers and . rigid supports than during the steam discharge transient. This more than of fset's the small ' increase in~' the dead load on these supports due to the weight of ' the water during the alternate shutdown cooling mode of operation. Therefore, design adequacy of the snubbers and rigid supports is assured as they are designed for the larger steam discharge-transient. loads.
This qu'estion addresses the design adequacy of the spring hangers with respect to the increased dead load due to the weight of the water during the liquid discharge transient. As was discussed with respect to snubbers and rigid supports, the dynamic loads resulting ~ from liquid discharge during the alternate shutdown cooling mode of operation are significantly lower than those from the. high pressure steam discharge. Therefore, sufficient margin exists in the LaSalle Station piping system design to adequately
. offset the increased dead load on the spring hangers in an un-pinned condition due to a water filled condition. Furthermore, the effect.of the water deadweight load does not affect the abil-ity of SRVs to open and to establish.the alternate shutdown cool-ing path' because - the loads occur in the SRVDL only-after valve opening.
NRC OUESTION 3
- Report NEDE-24988-P did not identify any valve functional defi-ciencies or anomalies encountered during the test ~ program. De-scribe the impact of valve safety function of any valve function-al- deficiencies or anomalies encountered during the program.
RESPONSE ~TO OUESTION 3 No functional deficiencies or anomalies of the safety relief or relief valves, were experienced during the testing at Wyle Labor-
- atories for compliance with the alternate shutdown cooling mode requirement. All the valves subjected to test runs, valid and invalid, opened and closed without loss of pressure integrity or CEC-1 , _ _ . _ . _ _ . _ _ - , _ _ _ _ ___
o - j damage. Anomalies encountered during the test program were all due to failures of test facility instrumentation, equipment, data acquisition equipment, or deviation from the approved test proce-dure.
'The test specification for each valve required six runs. Under the test procedure, any anomaly caused the test run to be judged invalid. No anomalies were reported in the test report. The Wyle Laboratories test log sheet for the Crosby valve tests are attached. These valves are used at the LaSalle Station. No anomalies are reported for the Crosby 6R10 valve tested.
Each Wyle test re9 ort for the respective valves identifies each test run performed and documents whether or not the test run is valid or invalid, and states the reason for considering the run invalid. No anomaly encountered during the required test program affects any valve safety or operability function.
All valid test runs are identified in Table 2.2-1 of NEDE-24988-P. The data presented in Table 4.2-1 for each valve were ob-tained from the Table 2.2-1 test runs and were based upon the selection criteria of:
(a) Presenting the maximum representative loading informa-tion obtained from the steam run data, (b) Presenting the maximum representative water loading information obtained from the 15*F subcooled water test data, (c) Presenting the data on the only test run performed for the 50'F subcooled water test condition.
NRC QUESTION 4 The, purpose of the test program was to determine valve perfor-mance under conditions anticipated to be encountered in the CEC-1 an-plants. Describe the events and anticipated conditions at your
. plant for which the valves are required to operate and compare these - plant conditions to the conditions in the test program.
Describe the plant f,eatures assumed in the event evaluations used to scope the test program and compare them to plant features at your plant. For example, describe high level trips to prevent water from entering the steam lines under high pressure operating conditions as assumed in the test event and compare them to trips used at your plant.
RESPONSE TO NRC OUESTION 4 The purpose of the S/RV test program was to demonstrate that the Safety / Relief Valves ( S/RVs) will open and reclose under all expected flow conditions. The expected valie operating condi-
.tions were determined through the use of analyses of accidents and anticipated operational occurrences referenced in Regulatory Guide 1.70, Revision 2 and described in FSAR Chapter 15. Single failures were assumed for these analyses so that the dynamic forces on the safety and relief valves would be maximized. Test pressures were the highest predicted by conservative safety anal-ysis procedures. The BWR Owners Group, in their enclosure to the September 17, 1980 letter from D. B. Waters to R. H. Vollmer, identified 13 cases which may result in liquid or two-phase S/RV inlet flow that would maximize the dynanic forces on the safety / relief valves. These cases were identified from an evalu-ation of the initial events described in Regulatory Guide 1.70, Revision 2, with and without the additional conservatism of a single active component failure or postulated operator error in the event sequence. It was concluded from this evaluation that the alternate shutdown cooling mode is the only case which can result in liquid or two-phase fluid at the valve inlet. Conse-quently, this was the case simulated in the S/RV test program.
This conclusion and the test results applicable to LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 are discussed below. The alternate shut-down cooling mode of operation is described in the response to NRC Ouestion 5 The, S/RV inlet fluid conditions tested in the BWR Owners Group S/RV test program, as documented in NEDE-24988-P, are 15*F to CEC-1
=
50'F subcooled liquid at 20 psid to 250 psid. These fluid condi-tions envelope the conditions expected to occur at LaSalle County Station Units 1 and,2 in the alternate shutdown cooling mode for operation.
The BWR Owners Group identified 13 cases by evaluating the ini-tiating events described in Regulatory Guide 1.70, Revision 2, with the additional conservatism of a single active component failure or operator error postulated in the events sequence.
These cases and the plant-specific features that mitigate these events, are. summarized in Table 1. Of these l? cases, only 8 are applicable to LaSalle County Station because of its design and specific plant configuration. Five cases, namely 2, 3, 8, 11, and 13 are not applicable to LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 for the reasons listed below:
- a. Case 2 -
Results in steam flow only because the S/RVs are located higher than the MSIVs.
- b. Case 3 - There is no HPCI system at LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2.
Il
- e. Case 8 -
Results in steam flow only because the i S/RVs are located higher than the MSIVs.
- f. Case 11 - There is no HPCI systen at LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2.
- h. Case 13 - There are no procedures requiring break isolation. The operator is trained to respond to high water level indication and alarms before the vessel is filled to the MSL level.
For, the eight remaining cases, the LaSalle specific features, such as trip logic, power supplies, instrument line configura-CEC-1 _ - ._- . _ - . . ._ . _ . . . .

6 NRC QUESTION 5 The ' valves ' are likely to be extensively cycled in a controlled depre.ssurization mode in a plant specific application. Was this mode simulated in the test program? What is. the ef fect of this valve ' cycling on valve performance and probability of the valve
- to fail.open or to fail close?
RESPONSE TO NRC OUESTION 5 The BWR safety / relief valve (SRV) operability test program was designed to simulate the alternate shutdown cooling mode, which is the only expected liquid or two-phase flow discharge event for LaSalle Station. The sequence of events. leading to the alternate shutdown cooling mode is given below.
Following normal reactor shutdown, the reactor operator depres-surizes the reactor vessel by opening the turbine bypass valves to dump heat to the main condenser. If the main condenser is unavailable, the operator could depressurize the reactor vessel by using the SRV's to discharge steam into the suppression pool. When depressurization is need, the operator manually cy-e cles the valves to assure that the vessel cooldown rate is main-tained with the technical specification limit of 100*F per hour.
As soon as the vessel is depressurized, the operator initiates the normal shutdown cooling mode of operation via the RUR sys-tem. If that mode is unavailable for any reason, the operator can initiate the alternate shutdown cooling mode which involves the suppression pool and RHR loops.
As discussed in the preceeding paragraph, if the normal equipment is postulated to be unavailable, then the operator will initiate the alternate shutdown cooling mode of operation. For alternate shutdown cooling, the operator opens one or more SRVs and initi-ates either an RHR or LPCS loop utilizing the suppression pool as the suct, ion source. (The suppression pool at LaSalle has a clean-up loop to maintain reactor quality water.) The reactor vessel is filled such that water flows through open SRV(s) back to ' the suppression pool. Cooling of the suppression pool is e

- provided by use of an RHR heat exchanger where essential service water transfers. heat to teh Ultimate Heat Sink. This is the alternate. cooling mode at LaSalle.
- To . assure continuous long-term heat removal, an SRV is kept open
-and no cycling of the valve is performed. In order to control the reactor vessel cooldown rate, the operator can limit flow into the vessel by throttling the RHR (or LPCS) .i_njection valves. By design,- no cycling of the SRV is required for the alternate shutdown cooling mode, hence no cycling of the SRV was performed for the generic BWR SRV operability test program.
The ability of the LaSalle SRV's to be extensively cycled for steam discharge- conditions has been confirmed during steam dis-charge qualification testing of the valve by the valve vendor and during start-up testing at La'Salle. Based on the qualification testing of the SRVs, cycling of the valves in a controlled de-pressurization mode for steam discharge conditions does not ad-versely affect valve performance and thus the probability of the valve to fail open or closed is extremely low.
NRC QUESTION 6 ,
Describe how the valves of valve Cy's in report NEDE-24988-P will.
be used at your plant. Show that the methodology used in the test program _ to determine the valve C y is consistent with your application.
RESPONSE TO NRC QUESTION 6 See the LaSalle specifc response to FSAR Ouestion 212.46 provided via Amendment.50 (October 1980) and Amendment 56 (May 1981). The flow coefficient, C , yfor the Crosby safety relief valves (SRVs) utilized at LaSalle Station was determined in the generic SRV test program (NEDE-24988-P). The average flow coefficient Crosby valves as calculated from the test results in reported in Table 5.2-1 of NEDE-24988-P. This test value has been used by Common-wealth Ed ison Company to confirm that the liquid discharge flow capacity of the LaSalle SRVs is sufficient to remove core decay CEC-1 i
heat via the alternate shutdown cooling mode. The C y value de-termined in the SRV test is sufficient to allow return of the RHR
.(or LPCS) pump flow, to the suppression pool . Eighteen SRV's are
.provided for each Unit at LaSalle. The calculated flow capacity per, valve is 1400 gpm under shutdown conditions.
When using the alternate shutdown cooling mode, the operator can assure that adequate core cooling is being provided by monitoring the following parameters: RHR (or LPCS) flow rate, vessel pres-sure, vessel level, and reactor coolant temperature and suppres-
, sion pool temperature and level.
The flow coefficients for the Crosby valves reported in NEDE-24988-P were determined from the SRV flow rate when the valve inlet was pressurized to approximately 250 psig. The valve flow rate was measured with the supply line flow venturi upstream of the steam chest. The Cy for the valve was calculated using the nominal _ measured pressure differential between the valve inlet (steam chest) and ' 3 ft. downstream of the valve at the+corre-sponding measured flowrate. Furthermore, these test conditions and test configuration were representative of LaSalle conditions for the alternate shutdown cooling mode, e.g. pressure upstream of the valve, fluid temperature, friction losses and liquid flow-rate. Therefore the reported C y values are appropriate for ap-plication to the LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 plant.
