TENNESSEE VALLEY AUI110RITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE5 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMEbrT REV1 II. HISTORY - PURPOSE - BASES ASME setup a committee in 1911 to establish standard rulea for the fabrication of steam boilers and other pressure vessels. This committee, now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, has also established suggested rules or good practices for inservice inspection / testing. The rules for the inservice inspection / testing for Nuclear Power Plant Components are contained in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI, Division 1. 10CFR50.55a of the federal law and sequoyah's technical specifications require that ASME Section XI be met throughout the service life of the nuclear power plant and updated at e ;h 10 year interval.

Under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a, inservice testing of 4.fety-related pumps shall be performed in accordance with a specific edition of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda.

The interval dates applicable editions and addenda for the first 10 year interval were as follows" First Interval Start Unit 1: 7/1981 First Interval Start Unit 2: 6/1982 Unit 1: 1974 Edition through the Summer 1975 Addenda Unit 2: 1977 Edition through the Summer 1973 Addenda ASME pump tests shall be performed in accordance with ASME/ ANSI OM-6 (OMa-1988 Addenda to the OM-1987 Edition) using Generic Letter 89-04 as guidance. This program identifies the pump inservice testing that will be performed at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a.

The safety-related pumps that are outside the scope of ASME Section XI, IWP (and therefore outside the scope of 10CFR50.55a) will be tested at a level commensurate with their intended function in the Augmented Test Program per Appendix B. Generic letter 89-04 will be used as guidance for the Augmented Pump Test Program.

As required by 10CFR50.55a(b) , the effective edition of Section XI in regard to the second ten year interval is as folllows:

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE8 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV1 IV. DEFINITIONS OPERABLE - OPERABILITY: A system, subsystem, train, component or device shall be OPERABLE or have OPERABILITY when it is capable of performing its specified function (s) , and all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, a normal and emergency electrical power source, cooling or seal water, lubrication or other auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing their related support function (s) .

ASME PUMP TEST PROGRAM: The pump test program required by 10CFR50.55a(f) delineates the testing requirements of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps by using the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Division 1, Section XI.

This ASME PUMP TEST PROGRAM is further defined by ASME Section XI, Article IWP, and ASME/ ANSI OM Part 6. Those pumps with an emergency power supply that are required in shutting down the reactor to the safe shutdown condition, maintaining the safe shutdown condition, or mitigating the consequences of an accident are to be tested per OM-6.

AUGMENTED PUMP TEST PROGRAM: The pumps that are outside the scope of ASME Section XI, IWP (and therefore outside the scope of 10CFR50.55a) but will be tested at a level commensurate with their intended function. The intent of 10CFR50 Appendix A, GDC-1, and Appendix B, Criterion XI is that all components,such as pumps, necessary for safe operation are to be tested to demonstrate that they will perform satisfactorily in service. Therefore, while 10CFR50.55a delineates the testing requirements for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps, the testing of pumps is not to be limited to only those covered by 10CFR50.55a. (refer to item 11 of Generic Letter 89-04)

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE9 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV 1 V. PROGRAM - SCOPE & PLAN SCOPE ASME Section XI, Article IWA 1000 " Scope and Responsibility" paragraph IWA-1310 calls for the selection of components subject to the inservice program. Article IWP invokes OM-6. OM-6 covers those pumps with an emergency power supply that are required in shutting down the reactor to the safe shutdown condition, maintaining the safe shutdown condition, or mitigating the consequences of an accident. OM-6 Section 3.1(b) requires each pump that is to be tested to be identified and listed in the plants records. Pumps subject to testing per 10CFR50.55a and ASME Section XI (OM-6) are identified in reference 6.b (contained in Appendix B to this program document) and are included within the scope of this program.

PLAN A. The ASME Inservice Pumps subject to testing shall be identified, documented, and the selection controlled by reference 6.b.

B. The ASME Inservice Pump Tests shall be performed in accordance with OM-6.

C. The ASME Inservice Pump Tests shall be reviewed and approved by the Program Test Engineer.

- D. The ASME Inservice Pump Test records shall be maintained in accordance with Section 7 of OM-6, and Subsection IWA-1400 of the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE 10 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV1 VI. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS Technical Specification 4.0.5 requires inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components as required by 10CFR50.55a. 10CFR50.55a (f) requires the inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps per the 1989 Edition of ASME Section XI. 10CFR50.55a and ASME Section XI Subsection IWP invokes ASME/ ANSI OM-6 (OMa-1988 Addenda to the OM-1987 Edition). OM-6 requires the testing of pumps with an emergency power source that are needed for the safe shutdown of the reactor, maintaining safe shutdown, and mitigating the consequences of an accident. Therefore the pumps identified in reference 6.b subject to the OM-6 test program shall be tested to satisfy 10CFR50.55a requirements unless specific relief is granted by the NRC.

The pumps that are outside the scope of ASME Section XI, IWP (and therefore outside the scope of 10CFR50.55a) are to be tested at a level commensurate with their intended function. The intent of 10CFR50 Appendix A, GDC-1, and Appendix B, Criterion XI is that all components, such as pumps, necessary for safe operation are to be tested to demonstrate that they will perform satisfactorily in service. Therefore, while 10CFR50.55a delineates the testing requirements for ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps, the testing of pumps is not to be limited to only those covered by 10CFR50.55a (refer to item 11 of Generic Letter 89-04). These pumps will be tested per the Augmented Test Program in Appendix B of this program basis document.

Relief is not required from the NRC if testing is not in accordance with OM-6. These pumps are to be tested at a level commensurate with their intended function.

RELIEF REQUESTS -

IDENTIFICATION OF CODE NONCOMPLIANCE Technical Specification 4.0.5 (revision needed to reflect Standard Tech Specs prior to start of second to year interval) and 10CFR50.55a reflect the position that relief requests from impractical code requirements do not have to be granted by the NRC before they are implemented. Relief Requests are to be identified in advance and submitted to the NRC well in advance of their implementation (minimum of 90 days suggested) where possible.

10CFR50.55a recognizes that it will not be possible in all cases to determine in advance that any particular ASME Code requirement is impractical and allows up to a full year after the beginning of an updated interval to inform the NRC and request relief. It is also recognized that, during the interval, certain ASME Code requirements may be identified as impra'etical due to unforeseen circumstances and relief may be requested at that time. Relief Requests identified during the interval should be submitted to the NRC within approximately two weeks of identification, after completion of the plants review / approval process. The review / approval process includes 1) preparation of the Relief Request and incorporation into this program basis document by approval of a revision hereto, 2) the appropriate 10CFR50.59 reviews for this program basis document revision in accordance with the plants safety Assessment / Safety Evaluation process, and 3) review by PORC and approval of the Plant Manager of the change denote via the 10CFR50.59 evaluation. This methodology will avoid situations where compliance with the technical specifications cannot be achieved for the period between the time of preparation / review / approval and submittal of a relief request until the NRC has granted the relief.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGEII ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM B ASIS DOCUMENT REVI When noncompliance with a code re'quirement is identified and testing with i technical specification allowable action times is not practical (e.g. test configuration / setup, cold shutdown or refueling required to test, etc.) it may be possible to reference other tests performed in justifying continued operation. A Relief Request or a deferred test justification (cold shutdown or refueling outage) may be required. The operability of the component could be assessed using the guidance provided in Generic Letter 91-18 which discusses the need for obtaining a Temporary Waiver of Compliance or exigent relief from the ASME Code requirements. Use of the guidance provided by the NRC within ref 2.d should help avoid denial by the VRC. Note that any alternate testing specifled by the Relief Request is not to be implemented until authorized by the NRC.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE 12 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV 1 VII. DESCRIPTION Under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a, inservice testing of safety-related pumps wi.ll be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and ir-srure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. As required by 10 CFR 50.55a (o), the effective edition of Section XI with regard to the second ten year interval is the 1989 Edition. ASME pump tests will be performed in accordance with ASME/ ANSI OM-6 (OMa-1988 Addenda to the OM-1987 Edition). This program identifies the pump inservice testing that will be performed at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a.

The pump test program shall be conducted in accordance with Subsection IWP of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (applicable Edition and Addenda) except for relief requested under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a. Subsection IWP as modified by 10CFR50. 55a (b) (2) (viii) invokes OM-6 for the performance testing of pumps. Table A details the inservice testing program for applicable ASME safety-related pumps at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. Table A lists each pump required to be tested in accordance with OM-6. Each parameter to be measured as well as specific notes concerning nonconformance are also listed. i i

Pumo Testina Frecuency j ASME Section XI inservice pump testing (in the as found condition where practical) shall be conducted quarterly (at least once every 92 days).

ASME pumps lacking required fluid inventory shall be tested at least once every two years (at least once every 24 months). Pump testing shall continue through shutdown periods on operable equipment. Pumps in systems out of service for an extended period of time are not required to be tested but will be tested within the last 92 days of the outage or prior to being returned to service or entry into an operational mode which requires the pump to be OPERABLE (unless technical specifications allows ,

otherwise). Pumps tested during power ascension due to maintenance l performed during the outage shall be considered inoperable until the post t1aintenance tests are completed.

The start of the second interval will include all ter#.s that are to be performed during cold shutdown and refueling prior to startup. For i extended test programs, such as the full flow pump tests, credit for i similar inspections during the first interval may be taken.

Reference Values Reference values are found in the applicable test procedure for each ASME pump. When a reference value or set of values may have been affected by repair, replacement, or routine servicing of a pump, a new reference value or set of values shall be determined or the previous value reconfirmed by an inservice test run prior to declaring the pump operable. New reference values are required in the second interval for the MD AFW pumps due to the utilization of the new larger miniflow path. Initial reference values must be established for the 6.9 kv Shutdown Board Room Chilled Water Pumps which are new to the program for the second interval.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE13 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REVI Test Parameters Note that pump inlet pressure and lubricant level / pressure should be specified/ observed within the test procedures to determine pump operational readiness when applicable but that no acceptance criteria is applicable in accordance with OM-6.

The following test parameters shall be observed after the pump has operated for at least two minutes under stable conditions.

Speed - Pump speed is only measured for variable speed pumps.

Differential Pressure - Differential pressure is calculated from suction and discharge pressure or obtained by direct differential pressure measurement. Lake level and pump elevation are used to obtain suction pressure when necessary and the calculational method is included in the pump test procedure.

Discharge Pressure - Discharge pressure is measured for positive displacement pumps.

Flow Rate - Flow rate is measured using a rate or quantity meter installed in the pump test cicuit. If a meter does not indicate the flow rate directly, the record shall include the method used to reduce the data, vibration - All centrifugal pumps will have vibration measurements taken in a plane approximately perpendicular to the rotating shaft in two orthogonal directions on each accessible pump bearing housing.

Measurefacnt will also be taken in the axial direction when accessible.

Verties.1 line shaft pumps will have vibration measurements taken on the upper motor bearing housing in three orthogonal directions, one of which is the axial direction. Reciprocating pumps will have vibration measurements taken approximately perpendicular to the crankshaft and the line of plunger travel, including the axial direction when accessible on each bearing housing.

Allowable Ranoes For Test Parameters Tables 3a and 3b and Figure 1 of OM Part 6 provide the allowable ranges for pump testing parameters. Table 3 from OMb-1989 is included along with Tables 3a and 3b in Attachment 1. The Figure on vibration displacement was omitted from OMa-1988. Expanded ranges are not allowed without relief from the NRC. New reference values may be established as allowed by OM-6, Paragraph 4.5.

For pumps in systems for which the resistance cannot be varied, the flowrate and pressure shall be determined and compared to their respective reference values and allowable ranges. For pumps in systems for which the resistance can be varied, either the flowrate or pressure shall be set to a fixed value by varying the system resistance and the other paramenter shall be determined and compared to its respective reference value and allowable ranges. When flowrate or pressure is a fixed value, it shall not vary by more than +/- 2 % (see section 5.3 of ref 2.d). The allowable ranges of OM-6 for flowrate and differential pressure do not both apply for pumps in systems for which the resistance can be varied.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE14 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REVI Instrument Accuracy The limits for instrument accuracies are provided in Table 1 of OM Part 6.

Vibration instrument frequency response range shall be from 1/3 of the minimum pump shaft rotational speed to at least 1000 Hertz. Instruments used to determine inlet pressure (e.g. lake level) also meet the requirements of Table 1 of OM-6. Attributes such as orifice plate tolerances, tap locations, and process temperature are not considered in the determination of insturment accuracy (refer to Section 5 of reference 2.d) . The accuracy for analog instruments specified in OM-6 applies only to the calibration of the instruments. TVA Sequoyah instruments meet these requirements except where specific written relief has been requested.

Eglief Reauesn In the event specific test requirements of 10CFR50.55a and OM-6 are impractical and cannot be met, specific relief may be granted by the NRC.

The following Relief Requests are for the second interval. Each relief 3

request is identified as to whether it follows the guidance of Generic Letter 89-04, a relief request in the first interval, and/or if it is a new relief request. Relief Requests are to be submitted prior to the start of the second interval where possible, and in any case, by the end of 12 months following the new interval start date in accordance with 10CFR50. 55a (f) (5) (iv) .

Data Analvniet and Evaluation If deviations fall within the alert range the frequency of testing is doubled until the cause of the deviation is determined and the condition corrected. If deviations fall within the required action range the pump is declared inoperable as soon as the data is recognized to be  !

unacceptable until the cause of the deviation has been determined and the i condition corrected or an appropriate analysis is completed. If testing 1 indicates that instruments are erratic, the test may be discontinued and the instruments recalibrated without declaring the pump inoperable. All test data is evaluated within 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> after completion of a test.

However, this does not preclude declaring the pump inoperable if the test i data is in the required action range. 1 Upon finding a pump inoperable and entry into appropriate action statements of technical specifications, the test results may be reviewed  !

and comparied to previous test data to decide if a condition has or has i not developed that will further degrade the pump and exceed the safety I analysis limit. If the pump is found not in danger of further degradation over an acceptable period of time, an analysis may be an acceptable alternative to pump repair or replacement until such time as repairs can be effected, as allowed by the code. If the analysis determines that the I pump will soon degrade further, immediate action is required. The first I analysis may be a preliminary analysis (by the Program and/or System I Engineers) until particular expertise is available (Vendc Nuclear l Engineering, etc.). The preliminary analysis must establish a basis for l meeting the safety analysis limits / licensing basis and must assess the  !

condition of the redundant train. The period the pump can be considered operable based on the preliminary analysis must be determined and limited in the event a more complete analysis determines the pump is inoperable.

This period should allow adequate time to perform a thorough engineering analysis beginning without delay. l 1

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE15 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV1 Aucmented Pumo Testino The inservice operability testing of safety-related pumps associated with non-oM-6 pumping systems are not tested per this ASME inservice test program. These pumps as identified in ref 6.b are tested per the Augmented Pump test program. For example, the inservice operability testing of pumps associated with the emergency diesels, are excluded from the ASME pump test program. The fuel oil transfer pumps, and lu.be oil pumps are tested per the augmented test program. Other component.:e are an integral part of the Emergency Diesel System and are functionally tested by the Diesel tests. Thus, the functional operability testing of these pumps is performed at a frequency equal to that required by Section XI for pumps or at a frequency commensurate with their safety function.

Additionally, the failure of a pump to perform its intended function will be identified by the failure of the associated Emergency Diesel to meet its functional requirements. Refer to Appendix A for a complete description of the Augmented Test Program.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE 16 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV1 Pumo Relief Reauest - RP-01 ERCW SCREEN WASH PUMP FLOW MEASUREMENT Affected Components ERCW Screen Wash Pumps Test Requirement OM-06, Section 5.2 requires that the vibration measurement be performed coincident with the measurement of the flow rate and differential pressure.

Basis for Relief No in-line instrumentation exists to measure flow and the physical configuration of the pump and piping does not allow the use of portable flow measuring equipment such as ultrasonics. Piping from the discharge of the screen wash pumps is open-ended to the spray nozzles at the traveling screen and is relatively short with multiple elbows, reducers, and valves in different planes. The physical configuration of this piping system is such that no portion of the piping meets the requirements for adequate installation of a permanent flow measuring device. Therefore, measured flow readings from an installed device may not be repeatable nor representative of actual pump flow. Significant system modifications, such as piping rerouting and support redesign, would be required to obtain a configuration that would provide reliable flow readings.

SQN plans to perform the test at dead-headed conditions. The pump manufacturer has verified this is acceptable for a short period of time.

By performing the test at dead-head conditions, the flow rate is constant (i.e, it is equal to zero) and therefore, only the differential pressure is needed to be measured. Differential pressure is calculated using inlet and discharge pressure. Although the pump does not operate at this condition, it is acceptable to perform the test in this manner. The pump can be trendcd for degradation based on flow and differential pressure at l this point on the pump curve which should be indicative of pump i performance at normal operating conditions. The pump manufacturer has l suggested that the vibration measurements be performed at normal operating conditions instead of dead-head conditions.

Alternative Test The pump will be tested quarterly with the differential pressure at dead-head conditions which is in compliance with OM-6. However, after these measurements are taken, the pump differential pressure will be adjusted to a reference point (near normal operating conditions) and vibration ,

measurements will be taken and trended at this point. l l

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE 17 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV 1 Fjpto Relief Recuest - RP-02 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL PUMP FLOW MEASUREMENT Affected Components Residual Heat Removal Pumps Test Requirement OM-6, Paragraph 5.2 requires the flow rate to met the ranges specified in Table 3.

Basis for Relief Residual Heat Removal Pumps are test using the minimum flow recirculation line provided for pump protection. No other flow path is available to meet the quarterly testing of OM-6. The miniflow path is of fixed resistance and limits flow to the minimum required flow for pump protection. The nominal miniflow rate is 500 gpm for pump protection.

Test results during the first ten-year inspection interval have shown variations of recorded flow readings which exceed the OM-6 allowable range requirements.

Residual Heat Removal pump miniflow rate is determined using an installed flcw measuring device in the 14 inch pump discharge header while flowing through the 3 inch miniflow line which includes a 2 inch miniflow return valve. The flow measuring device meets OM-6 range and accuracy requirements, however, small changes in the differential pressure across the flow element equate to relatively large changes in the flow. A differential pressure change of 2 inches of water at the flow element would equal a 55 gpm change in flow.

While testing using the miniflow recirculation line, the pump is operating in the flat portion of the pump curve near shutoff head conditions. Changes in the flow rate of the magnitude which would equal or exceed the OM-6 required range for flow would result in negligible changes in pump differential pressure. Pump differential pressure would only change a maximum of 0.15 psig from the 520 gpm reference value to the OM-6 upper and lower limits for flow of 572 and 468 gpm, respectively. A change in flow in excess of 3000 gpm would be required for the differential pressure to exceed the OM-6 required acceptable range of 0.9 times the reference value.

With the configuration of the installed flow instrumentation and the negligible effect of the changes in the flow have on differential pressure while operating near the shutoff head, maintaining compliance to OM-6 specified flow ranges is not practical. Ensuring miniflow rate is in compliance with OM-6 required ranges is of little value in determining pump condition or the pumps ability to meet its design function.

No other flow measurement means are available that will provide the repeatability necessary to meet OM-6 ranges.

Alternative Test The Residual Heat Removal Pumps will be tested quarterly using the minimum flow recirculation line where diffe:antial pressure and vibration will be measured and trended. During each refseling outage, the Residual Heat Removal Pumps will be tested in accordance wi.th 04-6 at full flow to ensure compliance with their Emergency Core Cooling safety function requrirements.

AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE IS ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV I Pumo Relief Request - RP-03 Shutdown Board Room Chilled Water Pumps Boric Acid Transfer Pumps Affected Componentn Shutdown Board Room Chilled Water Pumps Boric Acid Transfer Pumps Test Requirement OM-6, Paragraph 4.6.1.2 (a) requires that the full-scale range of each analog instrument shall be not greater than three times the reference value.

Casis for Relief These pumps have low suction pressure requirements where the pressure is as low cs 1.5 psig. To meet the requirements of OM-6, Paragraph 4.6.1.2(a), special low-range pressure gauges would have to be purchased. Three times this pressure is 4.5 psig and the maximum allowable error of 2% would be 0.09 psig. Using a 15 psig gage during testing would provide a maximum allowable error of 0.30 psig. The 0.21 psig difference in accuracy of the two gauges is neglible.

This relief request is based on guidance provided in the SER dated October 23, 1987 and was approved in the previous 10 year interval.

Alternative Test Pump testing will be performed using 15 psig gauges in lieu of gauges required by OM-6, Paragraph 4.6.1. 2 (a) . 1

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE 19 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV1 Pumo Relief Reauest - RP-04 SAFETY INJECTION PUMP FLOW MEASUREMENT Affected Components Safety Injection Pumps Test Requirement OM-6, Paragraph 5.2 requires flow measurement to be performed. Paragraph 5.1 requires this measurement to be performed in conjunction with the quarterly pump inservice test.

Basis for Relief The Safety Injection Pumps are tested quarterly using the minimum flow recirculation line provided for pump protection. No other flow path is available to meet the quarterly testing of OM-6. The miniflow path is of fixed resistance which contains a restricting orifice which limits flow to the minimum required for pump protection. The nominal miniflow rate is 30 gpm with a minimum required flow of 28 gpm for pump protection. With flow already near the minimum required, it is not practical to throttle flow lower and set to a specific value, therefore, meaurement of flow for this purpose is not needed.

While testing using the miniflow recirculation line, the pump is operating in the flat portion of the pump curve near shutoff head conditions. Changes is flow rate of the magnitude which would equal or exceed the OM-6 required range for flow would result in negligible changes in pump discharge pressure. Pump discharge pressure would only change a maximum of 3.0 psig from the 30 gpm reference value to OM-6 upper and lower limits for flow of 27 and 33 gpm, respectively. With a nominal safety injection pump discharge pressure of 1500 psig and allowable gauge range of 4500 psig, a 3.0 psig change in discharge pressure would not be detectable.

A change in flow in excess of 250 gpm would be required for the differential pressure to exceed the OM-6 required acceptable range of 0.9 times the reference value. A change in flow rate of this magnitude is not practical to expect to occur without a significant change in pump condition. Other test parameters such as vibration are measured and trended and would detect changes in the pump t condition. It is, therefore, not useful to instrument and measure flow in the i

miniflow path or practical to set flow to a specific reference value. The fixed  ;

resistance flow path ensures differential pressure will be obtained under the '

same flow conditions during each quarterly test.

Alternative Test l i

The Safety Injection Pumps will be tested quarterly using the minimum flow ,

recirculation line where differential pressure and vibration will be measured i and trended. During each refueling outage, the Safety Injection Pumps will be tested in accordance with OM-6 at fell flow to ensure compliance with their Emergency Core Cooling safety function requirements.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE 20 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV1 Pump Relief Recuest - RP-05 CONTAINMENT SPRAY PUMP FLOW MEASUREMENT l

Affected Components Containment Spray Pumps Test Requirement OM-6, Paragraph 4.6.1.2 requires digital instruments to be calibrated such that the reference value does not exceed 70% of the calibrated range of the instrument.

Easis for Relief >

Digital ultrasonic flow equipment is used to measure flow for the Containment Spray Pump tests with the current maximum allowable reference value for the flow of 4940 gpm. Following the calibrated range requirements of OM-6, a reference value of 4940 gpm would require digital instrumentation with a calibrated range of 7064 gpm. A flow rate of 7064 gpm is equal to a velacity of 45.3 feet per second in the 8 inch schedule 40 piping of the containment Spray System. Per the specifications provided by the ultrasonic flow equipment manufacturer, the maximum flow velocity measurement capability is 40 feet per second or 6237 gpm.

The ultrasonic flow equipment has an accuracy of +/- 1% which exceeds the OM-6 cccuracy requirement of +/- 2% and has proven acceptable for use in determining flow measurements. Calibration of ultrasonic equipment to 7064 gpm would not provide any greater assurance that the equipment is in calibration at the reference value than calibrating the instrumentation to the reference value.

SQN does not have installed flow instrumentation or other means to measure flow in the containment Spray System other than through the use of ultrasonic equipment. The inability to use ultrasonic equipment would require a modification to the piping system at considerable expense. An installed flow measuring device in the Containment Spray System would not enhance the detection of pump degradation over that presently provided by ultrasonics flow equipment.

Alternative Test Calibrate ultrasonic flow instrumentation such that the reference value does not exceed 95% of the reference value. I

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT PAGE21 ASME INSERVICE PUMP TESTING PROGRAM BASIS DOCUMENT REV1 Pump Relief Reauest - RP-06 REQUIRED ACTION RANGES OF PUMP TEST PARAMETERS Affected Components All pumps in the Inservice Testing Program.

Test Requirement OM-6, Paragraph 6.1 requires that "If deviations fall within the required action range of Table 3, the pump shall be declared inoperable until the cause of the deviation has been determined and the condition corrected."

Casis for Relief The deviation of pump hydraulic and/or vibration data which falls in the required action range of Table 3 " Ranges for Test Parameters" (consisting of Figure 1 and Tables 3a and 3b of the errata to OMa-1988 contained in OMb-1989) is an indication of degradation of pump performance. However, such a deviation does not address the ability of the pump to perform its intended safety function or the rate of degradation. It may be possible through analysis of past performance data from the subject pump or other similar pumps to ensure that the pump remains capable of performing its intended safety function until the next scheduled unit outage. Such an analysis could prevent the unnecessary shutdown of the unit to perform repairs to the pump.

Alternative Actions In lieu of the requirements in paragraph 6.1 " Acceptance Criteria" in OM-6 for  !

pumps wose hydraulic and /or vibration data falls into the required action range of Table 3 " Ranges for Test Parameters", the requirements of ISTB 6.2.2 " Action Range" of the 1995 Edition of the ASME OM Code will be implemented for the I inservicu testing of safety related pumps. The related requirements of ISTB 4.6  !

I "New Refercnce Values" will also be implemented for the inservice testing of cafety related pumps.

Affected Components All pumps in the ASME

• ion XI Inservice Test Pump Program.

Test Requirement OM-6, Table 3a requires centrifugal and vertical line shaft pumps which operate

< ct 2600 RPM to observe an Alert Range of the lesser of >2.5 VREF to 6 VREF OY

>0.325 to 0.70 in/sec and a Required Action Range of the lesser of >6VREF Of

>0.70 in/sec.

Casis for Relief The CM-6 requirements do not provide for pumps which have extremely low levels of vibration. For example, the Essential Raw Cooling Water Pump Q-A lower bearing vibration is approximately 0.0081 in/sec. Based upon the OM-6 ranges, this reference value would result in entry into the Alert range at 20.020 in/sec end into the Required Action range at 20.049 in/sec. By the standards listed below, these vibration levels are considered acceptable. Based on current vibration data, the application of the OM-6 ranges would result in a significant percentage of the SON pumps entering the Alert range with vibration levels below 0.1 in/sec. The required increased frequency testing would accelerate the normal wear process and ultimately lead to increased maintenance activity and reduced availability.

A review of three widely accepted sets of guidelines for absolute vibration limits provides the following results:

Pump Relief Recuest - RP-07 (Continued)

Alternative Test Establish a minimum reference vibration level threshold of 0.10 in/see peak velocity for centrifugal and vertical line shaft pumps operating at 2600 RPM.

Alert and Required Action levels for baseline vibration levels at or below 0.10in/sec peak velocity will be 0.25 and 0.6 in/sec, respectively. Components with measured vibration levels less than 0.10 in/sec peak velocity during testing will be acceptable, regardless of relative change from the baseline levels. Alert and Required Action levels for baseline vibration levels above 0.10 in/sec peak velocity will be as described in Table 3a.

Alert and Required Action levels for reciprocating pumps and for centrifugal and vertical line shaft pumps operating at <600 RPM are not affected by this relief and will meet the requirements of Table 3a of OM-6.

The frequency requirements of OM-6 are not affected by this relief.
