In 3.5-9 Amendment No. 175, 127 m

DAEC-1 Because the Automatic Depressurization System does not provide makeup to the reactor primary vessel, no credit is taken for the steam cooling of the core caused by the system actuation to provide further conservatism to the CSCS. Performance analysis of the Automatic Depressurization System is considered only with respect to its depressurizing effect in conjunction with LPCI and Core Spray and is based on 3 valves. There are four valves in the ADS and each has a capacity of approximately 810,000 lb/hr at a set pressure of 1125 psig.

The allowable out-of-service time for one ADS valve is determined as thirty days because of the redundancy and because the HPCIS is demonstrated to be operable during this period.

Therefore, redundant protection for the core with a small break in the nuclear system is still available.

The ADS test circuit permits continued surveillance on the operable relief valves to assure that they will be available if required.

The Nitrogen Supply to the ADS utilizes accumulators and inlet check valves to ensure the operability of the ADS in the event that a break occurs in the nonseismic portion of the nitrogen supply piping. The accumulators are sized to allow the ADS to operate at least 5 times after a period of 100 days post accident with a maximum system leakage rate of 30 sec/ minute. To provide an additional margin of safety, the leakage test allows for a maximum acceptable leakage rate of 25 sec/ minute.
