3/4.7.1.7 MAIN FEEDWATER REGULATING. BYPASS AND ISOLATION VALVES (Continued) or feedwater line rupture, thereby limiting the Reactor Coolant. System cooldown 1

and limiting the total energy release to the containment; or (2) a feedwater i

system malfunction, thereby limiting Reactor Coolant System cooldown.

The analysis of excessive RCS heat removal due to a feedwater system malfunction assumes that a control system malfunction or operator error causes a MFRV and associated bypass valve to open fully, resulting in a step increase in feedwater flow to one steam generator. The analysis assumes a feedwater isolation signal is generated by a high-high steam generator level.

Feedwater isolation is assumed to occur as a result of the MFRV and associated bypass valve closing as a result of the feedwater isolation signal.

Rupture of a steam line is analyzed to calculate the response of the reactor core and to determine the resulting mass and energy releases. Two separate analys6s are performed since conservative assumptions for the core response analysis are different than the conservative assumptions for the mass and energy release analysis. The core response analysis credits feedwater iso-lation as a result of the safety injection signal which results in a feedwater isolation signal.

Feedwater isolation is assumed'to occur as a result of closure of all MFRVs and MFRV bypass valves.

The mass and energy release analysis consists of several cases. The analysis assumes feedwater isolation occurs as a result of the safety injection signal which results in a feedwater isolation signal.

Some cases are analyzed that assume a MFRV fails and feedwater isolation occurs as a result of closure of the MFIV.

For cases with other single failure assumptions, feedwater isolation is assumed to occur as a result of closure of all MFRVs and MFRV bypass valves.

The core response and mass and energy releases that would result from a rupture of a main feedwater line are bounded by the analyses of the rupture of a main steam line.

The OPERABILITY of the MFIVs, MFRVs, and MFRV bypass valves within the closure time of the surveillance requirements is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses. When these valves are closed, they are performing their safety function.

The APPLICABILITY of this specification is MODES 1, 2, and 3.

The basis for this is that in MODES I and 2 there is significant energy and in MODE 3 there may be significant energy in the Steam Generators. With significant energy in the Steam Generators the valves are needed for isolation of the Steam Generators in the event of a secondary system pipe rupture.

The ACTION statement requires that an inoperable valve either be restored to an OPERABLE condition or closed within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.1.7 MAIN FEEDWATER REGULATING. BYPASS AND ISOLATION VALVES (Continued) exited.

If a MFRV or a MFRV bypass valve is inoperable, another option is available to isolate the inoperable valve with at least one closed valve wi.hin t

4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. This option is not available for the MFIVs since the MFIVs are in the Class I feedwater piping and there are no other valves, other than check valves, in the Class I piping that could be closed to isolate the Class I portion of the feedwater line.

3/4.7.3 VITAL COMPONENT COOLING WATER SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Vital Component Cooling Water System ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of safety-related equipment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.

3/4.7.4 AUXILIARY SALTWATER SYSTEM j

The OPERABILITY of the Auxiliary Saltwater System ensures that sufficient cooling capacity is available for continued operation of safety-related equipment during normal and accident conditions. The redundant cooling capacity of this system, assuming a single failure, is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.

3/4.7.5 CONTROL R09M VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Control Room Ventilation System ensures that:

(1) the ambient air temperature does not exceed the allowable temperature for continuous duty rating for the equipment and instrumentation cooled by this system, and (2) the control room will remain habitable for operations personnel during and following all credible accident conditions. The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction with control room design provisions is based on limiting the radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room to 5 rem or less whole body, or its equivalent. This limitation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criterion 19 of Appendix A, 10 CFR Part 50.

Operation of the system with the heaters operating to maintain low humidity using automatic control for at least 10 continuous hours in a 31-day period is j

sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters.

ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing, except laboratory testing of charcoal shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D3803-1989.

3/4.7.6 AUXILIARY BUILDING SAFEGUARDS AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Auxiliary Building Safeguards Air Filtration System ensures that radioactive materials leaking from the ECCS equipment within the auxiliary building following a LOCA are filtered prior to reaching the i

environment. Operation of the system with the heaters operating to maintain low humidity for at'least 10 continuous hours in a 31-day period is sufficient j

to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters. The operation of this system and the resultant effect on offsite dosage calculations were assumed in the safety analyses. ANSI N510-1980 will be used i

as a procedural guide for surveillance testing, except laboratory testing of charcoal shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D3803-1989.

3/4.7.12 ULTIMATE HEAT SINK i

The OPERABILITY of the Component Cooling Water (CCW) System and the components that it cools is ensured if the CCW temperature remains equal to or less than j

132*F during any condition assumed in ' tie safety analysis. One CCW heat exchanger is required in service when the ocean temperature is 64*F or less.

Two CCW heat exchangers are required in service when the ocean temperature is 3

i greater than 64*F.

If the reactor coolant temperature is less than 350*F (MODE l'

4), one CCW heat exchanger in service is adequate even if the ocean temperature d

is greater than 64*F.

REF'JELING OPERATIONS J

BASES 3/4.9.9 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION ISOLATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of this system ensures that the containment ventilation penetrations will be automatically isolated upon detection of high radiation l

levels within the containment. The OPERASILITY of this system is required to restrict the release of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environment.

3/4.9.10 and 3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL - REACTOR VESSEL and SPENT FUEL POOL The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water depth is available to remove 99% of the assumed 10% iodine gap activity released from the rupture of an irradiated fuel assembly. The minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the safety analysis.

The minimum water level for movement of fuel assemblies (23 feet above the vessel flange) assures that sufficient water depth is maintained above fuel elements being moved to or from the vessel. With the upper internals in place, fuel assemblies and control rods cannot be removed from the vessel.

Operations involving the unlatching of control rods with the vessel upper

)

internals in place may proceed with less than 23 feet of water above the i

vessel flange provided that 23 feet of water (12 feet above the flange) is maintained above all irradiated fuel assemblies within the reactor vessel.

3/4.9.12 FUEL HANDLING BUILDING VENTILATION SYSTEM The limitations on the Fuel Handling Building Ventilation System ensure that all radioactive material released from an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to discharge to the atmosphere. The OPERABILITY of this system and the resulting iodine removal capacity are consistent with the assumptions of the safety analyses.

Transfer of system operation into the iodine removal mode (exhaust through HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers) is initiated automatically by either the new fuel storage or spent fuel pool area radiation monitors required by Specification 3.3.3.

Following insta11aticn of the Fuel Handling Building Ventilation exhaust radiation monitors, the automatic function of the fuel storage area monitors will be removed. Transfer of system operation into the iodine removal mode will be by either of the two Fuel Handling Building Ventilation exhaust radiation monitors required by Specification 3.3.3.

ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing, except laboratory testing of charcoal shall be performed in accordance with ASTM D3803-1989.

3/4.9.13 SPENT FUEL SHIPPING CASK MOVEMENT The restriction on spent fuel shipping cask movement ensures that no fuel assemblies will be ruptured in the event of a spent fuel shipping cask accident. The dose consequences of this accident are within the dose guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100.

j 3/4.9.14 SPENT FUEL ASSEMBLY STORAGE The restrictions placed on spent fuel assemblies stored in the spent fuel pool ensure that keff will not be greater than 0.95 under normal conditions, as discussed in TS 5.6.1.a.

The requirement for 2000 ppm boron concentration ensures that k-eff will not be greater than 0.95 under accident condi ions.

The spent. fuel storage has been designed and analyzed for a maximum ent ichment of 5.0 weight percent U-235.
