PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 1 3/4.7.5 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY AIR CLEANUP SYSTEM The CREACUS provides a arotecte'd environment from which operators can control the plant follow ng an uncontrolled release of radioactivity, or toxic gas.

The CREACUS consists of two independent, redundant trains that recirculate and filter the control room air. Each train consists of a prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, an activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodine), and a fan. A second bank of HEPA filter follows the adsorber section (for emergency air conditioning unit only) and is used to retain carbon fines downstream of carbon adsorber. Each emergency ventilation air supply unit Ductwork, includes prefilter, HEPA filter, charcoal adsorber, and fan.

motor-operated dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the system.

Air and motor-operated dampers are provided for air volume control and system isolation purposes.

Upon receipt of the actuating signal, normal air supply to the control room is isolated, and the stream of ventilation air is recirculated through the system's filter trains. The prefilters remove any large particles in the air to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 15 minutes per month verifies proper system operation.

There are two CREACUS operational modes. Emergency mode is an operational mode when the control room is isolated to prevent operation personnel from the radioactive exposure through the duration of any one of the postulated limiting faults discussed in FSAR, Chapter 15. . , . Isolation mode is an operational mode when control room is isolated to protect operation personnel from toxic gases and smoke.

Actuation of the CREACUS places the system into either of two separate states of the operation, depending on the initiation signal. Actuation of the system to the emergency mode of operation closes the unfil'tered-outside-air intake and exhaust dampers and aligns the system for recirculation of control room air through the redundant trains of HEPA and charcoal filters. The emergency mode initiates pressurization of the control room. Outside air is added to the air being recirculated from the control room.

Pressurization of the control room prevents infiltration of infiltered air from the surrounding areas of the building.

The actions taken in the toxic gas isolation mode are the same, except that the signal switches control room ventilation to an isolation mode, preventing outside air from entering the control room.

There are two CREACUS operational modes. Emergency mode is an operational mode when the control room is isolated to prevent operation personnel from ,

the radioactive exposure through the duration of any one of the postulated limiting faults discussed in FSAR, Chapter 15, .

Isolation mode is an operational mode when control room is isolated to protect operation personnel from toxic gases and smoke.

Actuation of the CREACUS places the system into either of two separate states of the operation, depending on the initiation signal. Actuation of the system to the emergency mode of operation closes the unfiltered-outside-air intake and exhaust dampers and aligns the system for recirculation of control room air through the redundant trains of HEPA and charcoal filters. The emergency mode initiates pressurization of the control room. Outside air is added to the air being recirculated from the l control room, Pressurization of the control room prevents infiltration of infiltered air from the surrounding areas of the building.

The actions taken in the toxic gas isolation mode are the same, except that the signal switches control room ventilation to an isolation mode, preventing outside air from entering the control room.

B 3.7.11 Control Room Emergency Air Cleanup System (CREACUS)

BASES BACKGROUND The CREACUS provides a protected environment from which i operators can control the plant following an uncontrolled l release of radioactivity. l The CREACUS consists of two independent, redundant trains that recirculate and filter the control room air. Each CREACUS train consists of emergency air conditioning unit, emergency ventilation air supply unit, emergency isolation dampers, and cooling coils and two cabinet coolers per Unit.

Each emergency air conditioning unit includes a prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, an activated carbon adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity .

(principally iodine), and a fan. A second bank of HEPA filters follows the adsorber section to collect carbon fines. Each emergency ventilation air supply unit includes prefilter, HEPA filter, carbon adsorber and fan. Ductwork, motor-operated dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the system. Air and motor-operated dampers are provided for air volume control and system isolation purposes.

Upon receipt of the actuating signal, normal air supply to the control room is isolated, and the stream of ventilation air is recirculated through the system's filter trains. The prefilters remove any large particles in the air to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 15 minutes per month verifies proper system operability.

There are two CREACUS operational modes. Emergency mode is an operational mode when the control room is isolated to protect operational personnel from radioactive exposure through the duration of any one of the postulated limiting faults discussed in Chapter 15 UFSAR (Ref. 2). Isolation mode is an operational mode when the control room is isolated to protect operational personnel from toxic gasses and smoke.

Actuation of the CREACUS places the system into either of two separate states of operation, depending on the initiation signal. Actuation of the system to the emergency mode of operation closes the unfiltered-outside-air intake (continued)

CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES BACKGROUND and unfiltered exhaust dampers, and aligns the system for (continued) recirculation of control room air through the redundant trains of HEPA and charcoal filters. The emergency mode initiates pressurizat. ion of the control room.  !

Outside air is added to the air being recirculated from the control room. Pressurization of the control room prevents infiltration of unfiltered air from the surrounding areas of the building.

The control room supply and the outside air supply of the normal control room HVAC are monitored by radiation and toxic-gas detectors respectively. One detector output above the setpoint will cause actuation of the emergency mode or l isolation mode as required. The actions of the isolation  !

mode are more restrictive, and will override the actions of l the emergency mode of operation. However, toxic gas and I radiation events are not considered to occur concurrently.

A single train will pressurize the control room to at least 0.125 inches water gauge, and provides an air exchange rate in excess of 45% per hour. The CREACUS operation in maintaining the control room habitable is discussed in l

,. Reference 1.

Redundant recirculation trains provide the required filtration should an excessive pressure drop develop across the other filter train. Normally-open isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that one damper's failure to shut will not r'esult in a breach of isolation. The CREACUS i is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements.

The CREACUS is designed to maintain the control room environment for 30 days of continuous occupancy after a ,

l CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES APPLICABLE The CREACUS provides airborne radiological protection for {

SAFETY ANALYSES the control room operators, as demonstrated by the control (continued) room accident dose analyses for the most limiting design basis loss of coolant accident fission product release presented in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 2).

1 The analysis of toxic gas releases demonstrates that the l toxicity limits are not exceeded in the control room '

following a toxic chemical release, as presented in Reference 1.

The worst case single active failure of a component of the CREACUS, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not impair the ability of the system to perform its design function.

' The CREACUS satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LCO Two independent and redundant trains of the CREACUS are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one is available, assuming that a single failure disables the other train. Total system failure could result in a control room operator receiving a dose in excess of 5 rem in the event of a large radioactive release.,

The CREACUS is considered OPERABLE when the individual 4

components necessary to control operator exposure are OPERABLE in both trains. A CREACUS train is considered OPERABLE when the associated:

a. Fan is OPERABLE;
b. 'M PA filters and charcoal adsorber are not excessively restricting flow, and are capable of performing their filtration functions; and
c. Ductwork, valves, and dampers are OPERABLE, and air circulation can be maintained.

In addition, the control room boundary must be maintained, or administratively controlled, including the integrity of the walls, floors, ceilings, ductwork, and access doors.

(continued)

SAN ON0FRE--UNIT 2 B 3.7-58 Amendment No. 11/03/95

l CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to limit operator exposure during and following a DBA.

In MODES 5 and 6, the CREACUS is required to cope with the release from a rupture of a waste gas tank.

During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to cope with the release from a fuel handling accident.

ACTIONS ACTION statements are modified by NOTE "The provisions of LCO 3.0.4 are not applicable when entering MODES 5, 6, or defueled configuration." Therefore, since CREACUS can be inoperable during each individual MODE, it should not be required to have two OPERABLE CREACUS trains before MODE change from defueled from MODE 6 to defueled configuration, and from MODE 4 to MODE 5.

Specification 3.0.4 establishes that entry into an operational mode or other specified condition shall not be made unless the conditions of the LC0 are met.

Applicability statement "During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies" ensures the OPERABILITY of both CREACUS trains prior to the start of movement of irradiated fuel ,

assemblies. l Ad l

With one CREACUS train inoperable, action must be taken to I restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE CREACUS subsystem is adequate to perform control room radiation protection function.

However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE CREACUS train could result in loss of CREACUS function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and the ability of the remaining train to provide the required capability.

1 CREACUS B 3.7.11 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.11 Control Room Emergency Air Cleanup System (CREACUS)

BASES BACKGROUND The CREACUS provides a protected environment from which operators can control the plant following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity.

The CREACUS consists of two independent, redundant trains that recirculate and filter the control room air. Each CREACUS train consists of emergency air conditioning unit, emergency ventilation air supply unit, emergency isolation dampers, and cooling coils and two cabinet coolers per Unit.

Each emergency air conditioning unit includes a prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air carbon adsorber section for remov(HEPA) filter, an al of gaseous activated activity (principally iodine), and a fan. A second bank of HEPA filters follows the adsorber section to collect carbon fines. Each emergency ventilation air supply unit includes prefilter, HEPA filter, carbon adsorber and fan. Ductwork, motor-operated dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the system. Air and motor-operated dampers are provided for air volume control and system isolation purposes. ,

Upon receipt of the actuating signal, normal air supply to the control room is isolated, and the stream of ventilation air is recirculated through the system's filter trains. The prefilters remove any large particles in the air to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 15 minutes per month verifies proper system operability.

There are two CREACUS operational modes. Emergency mode is an operational mode ~when the control room is isolated to protect operational personnel from radioactive exposure through the duration of.any one of the postulated limiting faults discussed in Chapter 15 UFSAR (Ref. 2). Isolation mode is an operational mode when the control room is isolated to protect operational personnel from toxic gasses and smoke.

Actuation of the CREACUS places the system into either of two separate states of operation, depending on the initiation signal. Actuation of the system to the emergency mode of operation closes the unfiltered-outside-air intake (continued) j SAN ON0FRE--UNIT 3 8 3.7-56 Amendment No. 11/03/95 V

CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES BACKGROUND and unfiltered exhaust dampers, and aligns the system for (continued) recirculation of control room air through the redundant trains of HEPA and charcoal filters. The emergency mode initiates pressurization of the control room.

Outside air is added to the air being recirculated from' the control room. Pressurization of the control room prevents infiltration of unfiltered: air from the surrounding areas of the building.

The control room supply and the outside air supply of the normal control room HVAC are monitored by radiation and toxic-gas detectors respectively. One detector output above the setpoint will cause actuation of the emergency mode or isolation mode as required. The actions of the isolation mode are more restrictive, and will override the actions of the emergency mode of operation. However, toxic gas and radiation events are not considered to occur concurrently.

A single train will pressurize the control room to at least 0.125 inches water gauge, and provides an air exchange rate in excess of 45% per hour. The CREACUS operation in maintaining the control room habitable is discussed in

. Reference 1.

Redundant recirculation trains provide the required filtration should an excessive pressure drop develop across the other filter train. Normally-open isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that one damper's failure to shut will not result in a breach of isolation. The CREACUS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements.

The CREACUS is designed to maintain the control room environment for 30 days of continuous occupancy after a Design Basis Accident (DBA) without exceeding a 5-rem whole-body dose.

APPLICABLE The CREACUS components are arranged in redundant safety SAFETY ANALYSES related ventilation trains. The location of components and i ducting within the control room envelope ensures an adequate  !

supply of filtered air to all areas requiring access.

(continued)

SAN ON0FRE--UNIT 3 B 3.7-57 Amendment No. 11/03/95

_. .. _ _~ _ __ -

CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES APPLICABLE The CREACUS provides airborne radiological protection for SAFETY ANALYSES the control room operators, as demonstrated by the control )

(continued) room accident dose analyses for the most limiting design l basis loss of coolant . accident fission product release  :

presented in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 2).

1 The analysis of toxic gas releases demonstrates that the i toxicity limits are not exceeded in the control room following a toxic chemical release, as presented in Reference 1.

The worst case single active failure of a component of the ,

CREACUS, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not impair l the ability of the system to perform its design function.  ;

The CREACUS satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LC0 Two independent and redundant trains of the CREACUS are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one is available, assuming that a single failure disables the other _

train. Total system failure could result in a control room operator receiving a dose in excess of 5 rem in the event of a large radioactive release.

The CREACUS is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to control operator exposure are OPERABLE in both trains. A CREACUS train is considered OPERABLE when the associated:

a. Fan is OPERABLE;
b. HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber are not excessively restricting flow, and are capable of performing their filtration functions; and
c. Ductwork, valves, and dampers are OPERABLE, and air circulation can be maintained.

In addition, the control room boundary must be maintained, or administrative 1y controlled, including the integrity of the walls, floors, ceilings, ductwork, and access doors.

(continued)

SAN ONOFRE--UNIT 3 B 3.7-5B Amendment No. 11/03/95

CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to limit operator exposure during and following a DBA.

In MODES 5 and 6, the.CREACUS is required to cope with the release from a rupture of a waste gas tank.

During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to cope with the release from a fuel handling accident.

ACTIONS ACTION statements are modified by NOTE "The provisions of LC0 3.0.4 are not applicable when entering MODES 5, 6, or defueled configuration." Therefore, since CREACUS can be inoperable during each individual MODE, it should not be required to have two OPERABLE CREACUS trains before MODE change from defueled from MODE 6 to defueled configuration, and from MODE 4 to MODE 5.

Specification 3.0.4 establishes that entry into an operational mode or other specified condition shall not be made unless the conditions of the LCO are met.

Applicability statement "During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies" ensures the OPERABILITY of both CREACUS trains prior to the start of movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.

Ad With one CREACUS train inoperable, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE CREACUS subsystem is adequate to perform control room radiation protection function.

However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE.CREACUS train could result in loss of CREACUS function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and the ability of the remaining train to provide the required capability.

CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES ACTIONS B.1 and B.2

(continued)

If the inoperable CREACUS cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time in MODE 1, 2, 3, or.4, the unit must be placed in a MODE that minimizes the 4

accident. risk. To achieve this status, the unit must be placed in at..least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and in MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an j orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

i

C.1. C.2.1. and C.2.2 i

In MODE 5 or 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel i

assemblies, if Required Action A.1 cannot be completed within the required Completion Time, the OPERABLE CREACUS train must be immediately placed in the emergency mode of s operation. This action ensures that the remaining train is j OPERABLE, that no failures preventing automatic' actuation I

will occur, and that any active failure will be readily detected.

An alternative to Required Action C.1 is to immediately

suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might require isolation of the control room. This places'the unit in a condition that minimizes i the accident risk. This does not preclude the movement of

] fuel assemblies to a safe position.

D.J If both CREACUS trains are inoperable in MODE 1, '2, 3, or 4, the CREACUS may not be capable of performing the intended 1

function and the unit is in a condition outside the accident analyses. Therefore, LC0 3.0.3 must be entered immediately.

{' E.1 and E.2 When in MODES 5 or 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel

assemblies with two trains inoperable, action must be taken i immediately to suspend activities that could result in a
release of radioactivity that might enter the control room.

CREACUS B 3.7.11

~

B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS '

i B 3.7.11 Control Room Emergency Air Cleanup System (CREACUS)

BASES i BACKGROUND The CREACUS provides a protected environment from which I i

operators can control the plant following an uncontrolled release of radioactivity.

The CREACUS consists of two independent, redundant trains that recirculate and filter the control room air. .Each

. CREACUS train consists of emergency air conditioning unit, i

emergency ventilation air supply unit, emergency isolation dampers, and cooling coils and two cabinet coolers per Unit.

Each emergency air conditioning unit includes a prefilter, a.

high efficiency particulate air i carbon adsorber section for remov(HEPA) filter, an al of gaseous activated activity (principally iodine), and a fan. A second bank of HEPA fines. follows filters the adsorber section to collect carbon Each emergency ventilation air supply unit includes

prefilter, HEPA filter carbon adsorber and fan. Ductwork,
i. motor-operated dampers,, and instrumentation also form part -

of the system. Air and motor-operated dampers are provided for air volume control and system isolation purposes.

i U)on receipt of the actuating signal, normal air supply to

' tie control room is isolated,'and the stream of ventilation air is recirculated through the system's filter trains. The 4

prefilters remove any large particles in the air to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 15 minutes per month verifies proper system operability.

~ There are two CREACUS operational modes. Emergency mode is an operational mode'when the control room is isolated to i

protect operational personnel from radioactive exposure i through the duration of,any one of the postulated limiting .

faults discussed in Chapter 15 UFSAR Ref. 2). Isolation i

mode is an operational mode when the c(ontrol room is isolated to protect operational personnel from toxic gasses and smoke.

'AcTu'ation of the CREACUS places the system into either of e[ two separate states of operation, depending on the initiation signal. Actuation of the system to the emergency I

mode of operation closes the unfiltered-outside-air intake (continued) j_ SAN ONOFRE--UNIT 3 8 3.7-56 Amendment No. 11/03/95 5-

. -. -_ _ -__ _ a

CREACUS B 3.7.11 BASES BACKGROUND and unfiltered exhaust dampers, and aligns the system for -

(continued) recirculation of control room air through the redundant trains of HEPA and charcoal filters. The emergency mode initiates pressurizatipn of the control room.

Outside air is added to the air being recirculated from the control room. Pressurization of the control room prevents infiltration of unfiltered air from the surrounding areas of the building.

The control room supply and the outside air supply of the normal control room HVAC are monitored by radiation and toxic-gas detectors respectively. One detector output above the setpoint will cause actuation of the emergency mode or isolation mode as required. The actions of the isolation mode are more restrictive, and will override the actions of the emergency mode of operation. However, toxic gas and radiation events are not considered to occur concurrently.

A single train will pressurize the control room to at least 0.125 inches water gauge, and provides an air exchange rate

- in excess of 45% per hour. The CREACUS operation in j

maintaining the control room habitable is discussed in Reference 1.

Redundant recirculation trains, provide the required filtration should an excessive pressure drop develop across the other filter train. Normally-open isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that one damper's failure to shut will not risult in a breach of isolation. The CREACUS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements.

The CREACUS is designed to maintain the control room 1 environment for 30 days of continuous occupancy. after a Design Basis Accident (DBA) without exceeding a 5-rem whole-body dose. -

l APPLICABLE The CREACUS components are arranged in redundant safety l l

SAFETY ANALYSES , re).ated ventilation trains. The location of components and e'y " ducting within the control room envelope ensures an adequate supply of filtered air to all areas requiring access.

SAFETY ANALYSES the control room operators, as demonstrated by the control (continued) room accident dose analyses for the most limiting design basis loss of coolant: accident fission product release presented in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 2).

i The analysis of toxic gas releases demonstrates that the toxicity limits are not exceeded in the control room following a toxic chemical release, as presented in j Reference 1.

i The worst case single active failure of a component of the CREACUS, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not impair

' the ability of the system to perform its design function.

The CREACUS satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

t LC0 Two independent and redundant trains of the CREACUS are i

required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one is available, assuming that a single failure disables the other train. Total system failure could result in a control room .

operator receiving a dose in excess of 5 rem in the event of -

i a large radioactive release.

B 3.7.11

BASES I

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to

limit operator exposure during and following a DBA.

In MODES 5 and 6, the CREACUS is required to cope with the I t

release from a rupture'of a waste gas tank.

During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to cope with the release from a fuel handling accident. I ACTIONS

  • j%TEIs*rs.'

ACTION statements are modified y 0TE .'The provisions of LCO 3.0.4 are not applicable when entering MODES 5, 6, or defueled configuration." Therefore, since CREACUS can be inoperable during each individual MODE, it should not be required to have two OPERABLE CREACUS trains before MODE change from defueled from MODE 6 to defueled configuration, and from MODE 4 to MODE 5.

Specification 3.0.4 establishes that entry into an operational mode or other specified condition shall not be i made unless the conditions of the LC0 are met.

- - Applicability statement "During movement of irradiated fuel <

assemblies" ensures the OPERABILITY of both CREACUS trains prior to the start of movement of irradiated fuel assemblies. '

F aa .

With one CREACUS train inoperable, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE CREACUS subsystem is adequate to perform control room radiation protection function.

However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single l

failure in the OPERABLE.CREACUS train could result in loss of CREACUS function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on i~ the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and the ability of the remaining train to provide the required capability.
