REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES PRESSURE /TEMPERMURE LIMITS (Continued)

The maximum RT for all Reactor Coolant System pressure-retaining NDT materials, with the exception of the reactor pressure vessel, has been determined to be 90'f.

The lowest Service Temperature limit line shown on Figures 3.4-2 and 3.4-3 is based upon this RT since Article NB-2332 of HDT Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code requires the Lowest Service Temperature to be RTNDT + 100*F for piping, pumps, and valves. Below this temperature, the system pressure must be limited to a maximum of 20% of the system's hydrostatic test pressure of 3125 psia (as corrected for elevation and instrument error).

The limitations imposed on the pressurizer heatup and cooldown rates and spray water temperature differential are provided to assure that the pres-surizer is operated within the design criteria assumed for the fatigue analysis performed in accordance with the ASME Code requirements.

The OPERABILITY of the shutdown cooling system relief valve or an RCS vent opening of greater than 5.6 square inches ensures that the RCS will be protected from pressure transients which could exceed the limits of Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50 when one or more of the RCS cold legs are less than or equal to 285 F.

Each shutdown cooling system relief valve has adequate relieving capability to protect the RCS from overpresserization when the transient is either (1) the start of an idle RCP with the secondary water temperature of the steam generator less _than or equal to 100 f above the RCS cold leg tempera-tures or (2) inadvertent safety injection actuation with injection into a water-solid RCS.

The limiting transient includes simultaneous, inadvertent operation of three HPSI pumps, three charging pumps, and all pressurizer backup heaters in operation.

Since SIAS starts only two HPSI pumps, a 20%

margin is realized.

The restrictions on starting a reactor coolant pump in MODE 4 and with the reactor coolant loops filled in MODE 5, with one or more RCS cold legs less than or equal to 285'F, are provided in Specification 3.4.1.3 and 3.4.1.4 to prevent RCS pressure transients caused by energy additions from the secondary system which could exceed the limits of Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50.

The RCS will be protected against overpressure transients and will not exceed the limits of Appendix G by restricting starting of the RCPs to when the secondary water temperature of each steam generator is less than 100*f above each of the RCS cold leg temperatures.

Maintaining the steam generator less than 100'F above each of the Reactor Coolant System cold leg temperatures (even with the RCS filled solid) or maintaining a large surge volume in the pressurizer ensures that this transient is less severe than the limiting transient consi-dered above.

The automatic isolation setpoint of the shutdown cooling isolation valves is sufficiently high to preclude inadvertent isolation of the shutdown cooling relief valves during a pressure transient.
