3/4.6.2 DEPRESSURIZATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS The specifications of this section ensure that the primary containment pressure will not exceed the calculated pressure of 40 psig during primary system blowdown from full operating pressure.

i The pressure suppression pool water provides the heat sink for the reactor primary system energy release following a postulated r'upture of the system.

The pressure suppression chamb.er water volume must absorb the associated decay

' and structural sensible heat released during primary system blowdown fro'm 1045 psig. Since all of the gases in the drywell are purged into the pressure l-suppression chamber air space during a loss of coolant accident, the pressure -

of the liquid must not exceed 62 psig, the suppression chamher maximum"

, pressure. The design volume of the suppression chamber, water and air, was obtained by considering that the total volume of reactor coolant to be condensed is discharged to the su]pression chamber and that the drywell volume is (M'B43) purged to the suppression chamaer. ~

Using the minimum or maximum water volumes given in the specification, containment pressure during the design basis accident is approximately 4 i which is below the design pressure of 62 psig. Maximum water volume of $,59 ft' results in a downcomer submergence of 3'4" and the minimum volume of./65 ft' results in a submergence approximately four inches less.

%M The Monticello tests were rnn with a submerged length of three feet and with complete condensation. Thus, with respect to the downcomer submergence, this specification is adequate. The maximum temperature at the end of the blowdown .

tested during the Humboldt Bay and Bodega Bay tests was 170*F, and this is conservatively taken to be the limit for complete condensation of the reactor i j coolant, although condensation would ocm for temperatures above 170*F.

When it is necessary to make the suppression chamber inoperable, this shall only be done as provided in Specification 3.5.3.3.

l Under full power operation conditions, blowdown from an initial suppression chamber water temperature of 90'F results in a water temperature of apptaximately 135'F immediately following blowdown, which is below the temperature 170*F used for complete condensation. At this temperature and atmospheric pressure l and core spray pumps,  ; the available thus, there is no NpSH exceeoson dependency that required by both the RHR containment overpressure during the accident injection phase.

3/4.6.2 DEPRESSURIZATION AND C0OLING SYSTEMS The specifications of this section ensure that the pr.imary containment pressure will not exceed the calculated pressure of 49 psig during primary system blowdown from full operating pressure.

The pressure suppression pool water provides the heat sink for the reactor primary system energy release following a postulated rupture of the system.

The pressure suppression chamber water volume _must absorb the associated decay and structural sensible heat released during primary system blowdown from 1045 psig. Since all of the gases in the drywell are purged into the pressure I suppression chamber air space during a loss of coolant accident, the pressure of the liquid must not exceed 62 asig, the suppression chamber maximum pressure. The design volume of tie suppression chamber, water and air, was obtained by considering that the total volume of reactor coolant to be condensed is discharged to the su3pression chamber and that the drywell volume is purged to the suppression chamaer.

Using the minimum or maximum water volumes given in the specification, containment pressure during the design basis accident is approximately 49 s1 which is below the design pressure of 62 psig. Maximum water volume of . f t' results in a downcomer submergence of 3'4" and the minimum volume of/N/f4Gft results in a submergence approximately four inches less.

The Monticello tests were run with a submerged length of three feet and with 545 omplete condensation. Thus, with respect to the downcomer submergence, this specification is adequate. The maximum temperature at the end of the blowdown test during the Humboldt Bay and Bodes Bay tests was 170*F, and this is conservatively taken to be the limit for complete condensation of the reactor coolant, although condensation would occur for temperatures above 170*F.

When it is necessary to make the suppression chamber inoperable, this shall only be done as provided in Specification 3.5.3.3.

Under full power operation conditions, blowdown from an initial suppression chamber water temperature of 90*F results in a water temperature i of approximately 135'F immediately following blowdown, which is below the '

temperature 170*F used for complete condensation. At this temperature and  ;

atmospheric pressure, the available NpSH exceeds that required by both the RHR '

and core spray punps; thus, there is no dependency on containment overpressure during the accident injection phase. If both RHR loops are used for containment cooling, there is no dependency on containment overpressure  ;

for post-LOCA operations. '
