Basis The normal procedure for starting the reactor is, first, to heat the reactor coolant to near operating l temperature, by running the reactor coolant pumps. The reactor is then made critical by 1 l withdrawing control rods and/or diluting boron in the coolant.W With this mode of start-up, the energy stored in the reactor coolant during the approach to criticality is substantially equal to that i
during power operation and therefore to be conservative most engineered safety system components and auxiliary cooling systems, shall be fully operable. During low temperature physics tests there is a negligi ,le amount of stored energy in the reactor coolant, therefore an
- accident comparable in severity to the Design Basis Accident is not possible, and the engineered safety systems are not required.

I and k4)long term subcriticality is maintained following a steamline break assuming ARI-l and
, fuel failure is precluded.
l The containment cooling function is provided by two independent systems: (a) fan coolers and i-(b) containment spray which, with sodium hydroxide addition, provides the iodine removal i
function. During normal power operation, only three of the four fan coolers are required to ;
j remove heat lost from equipment and piping within the containment.") In the event of a Design i Basis Accident, any one of the following combinations will provide sufficient cooling to reduce i
containment pressure: (1) four fan coolers, (2) two containment spray pumps, (3) two fan coolers ,
) plus one containment spray pump.") Sodium hydroxide addition via one spray pump reduces - !
- _ airborne iodine activity sufficiently to limit off-site doses to acceptable values. One of the fc=
j' 1 or two fan coolers is-arc _ permitted to be inoperable for up to 48-2 hours during power operation. )
j Specification 15.3.3.B.2.c requires valves that provide the duplicate function be operable prior to j initiating repairs on an inoperable valve. For the specific case of the containment spray pump j discharge (SI-860) valves, SI-860A and SI-860D provide duplicate functions. Valves SI-860B
_ and SI-860C are not required for system operability. Hence, prior to removing valve SI-860A )
- from service, valve SI-860D must be operable and vice versa. '
4 l The component cooling system is different from the othei systems discussed above in that the 1 components are so located in the Auxiliary Building as to be accessible for repair after a loss-of- ,
coolant accident. The component cooling water pump together with one component cooling heat i exchanger can accommodate the heat l

If during the post-accident phase the component cooling water supply is lost, core j and containment cooling could be maintained until repairs were effected.m A total of six service water pumps are installed, only twe-three of which are required to operate during the injection and recirculation phases of a postulated loss-of-coolant accident,# in one unit together with a hot shutdown or normal operation condition in the other unit.

~
allowed outane time for the second and third numns is cumnh.tive startirm from the time the j second pump is declared inopeuble. Therefore. the total time that two or three numns are -

All l pumps must be restored to operable status within 7 days of the first _oumn being declared inoperable. Specifications 15.3.3.D.2.c requires four and 15.3.3.D.2.d reauires five service water
~
pumps to be operable to provide sufficient flow for accident mitigation when these soecifications are in effect.
The service water ring header continuous flownath LCO reauirement (TS 15.3.3.D.2.b) anolies ~
anytime continuity of the flowcath in the service water ring headeds interruoted. This includes l isolation of any nart of the ring header. This LCO recogni7es that one aspect of redundancy in j the service water system is the ability to isolate a break in the system and still maintain ability to provide required flow to supported equipment. This capability is impaired anytime the continuous flownath of the ring header is blocked. The 7 day allowed outage time is based on the fact that a piping failure must os. cur to cause a subsequent problem with system operability.
l-l Piping failures are not considered as tne single failure for system functionality during an I accident.
l TS 15.3.3.D.2.b requires that service water system flow is evaluatedwithin 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> ifless than .
four service water pumps are operable. This is necessary to ensure that all required equipment will receive sufficient flow in this condition. Ifit is determined that any eauinment will not l receive sufficient flow. the anolicable LCOs for the affected eauinment shall be entered. These

I LCOs can be exited if system realignment is completed to achieve the required flow rates for the 1 affected equipment.

Entry into the applicable LCOs for the affected equipment is also required when any cart pQhe l service water ring header is removed from service. For example. if the north header is remond l from service. al! Tecimical Specification recuited equipment reauired for operation should be et have already been switched to the south header. The containment accident fan cooler inoperability requires entry into the apnlicable LCO for Unit 2 ffS_15.3.3.B.2.a which is 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />) when the header is removed from service. If Unit 2 is already in a shutdown condition where containment accident fan cooler operability is not required. no LCO would ar,piv. UniL1 would be abiect to the 7 day allowed outage time for the loss of the service water rine header continuoas flownath. The 7 day allowed outage time is based on approximate renair time for
, system piping and the possibility that a mechanical failure in another part of the system could result in a loss of service water system function.
Ihe_contilnment fan cooler service water outlet motor coerated valves consi,st of two fully redundant valves that are automatically onened in resoonse to a safety iniection sienal. Either valve is capable of passing the full flow required for all four fan cooler units in accident modem At various times. these valves are opened to allow testing of the containment fan coolers or adjustment of the system flow rates. If one or both of these motor operated valves are open in a unit. there may be insufficient service water flow ibn accident occurs in the other unit and single failure occurs. Therefore. in this case. the other unit is in a limitine condition for operation because relaxation of single failure is necessarv. That unit Ivould be considied the "affected unit" and hence the valves must be closed within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> et the affected unk must be, shut down. If the valves are open in both units. they would both be considered "affected" until such time that the motor onerated vulves were closed for a unit. at whichlime the aHected vail wnuld be the unit with the closed valves. The 72 bour allowed time is cons 6 tent with the relaxation of single failure and allowed outage time associated with a loss of redundancy for the service water system. For the case of single unit operation. the valves for the operating mit may be onen withoutlimitation if the valves for the shutdown unit are in the shut position or the flownath is isolated. The flowcath is considered isolated if total flow would not exceed the _
expected flowrate in the non-accident unit duringfecident conditions..
