Low Temperature Overpressure Protection i

3.2.2.G There are 3 means of protecting the RCS from overpressurization by a pressure transient at low temperatures (below 250*F). The first type of protection is ensured by the speration and surveillance of the power 4.2.2.G operated relief valves with a lif t setting of 435 psig.

i A single power operated relief valve (PORV) will relieve a pressure transient caused by 1) a mass addition into a solid RCS from a charging pump or 2) a heat input based on a reactor coolant pump being started in an idle RCS and circulating water into a steam generator whose temperature is 50'F greater than the RCS temperature.

(1) t The second means of pretection is ensured by a P0tV being open.

It will have the same relieving capab111tles as mentioned above.

The third means of protection limits the pressurizer level to 25% and the g.ressurizer pressure to 100 psig.

A pressure transient caused by the inadvertent mass addition from a charging pump running for 10 minutes will be relieved by the large gas volume and low pressure present in the pressurizer as mentioned above.

l Maintaini g the pressurizer level below 25% will als,o make the h1 pressurizer level deviation alara eva11able to the operator during a mass addition accident.

t In the event that a single PORV becomes inoperable, the repair period of 7 days is based on allowing sufficient time to effect repairs using safe and proper procedures and upon the operability of the redundant PORV. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> time period to reach the restrictive conditions in the~ pressurizer provides sufficient time to meet these conditions.

In the event that both PORV's becom= inoperable, the condition is more serious than for a single inoperable i

PORV, therefore every attempt should be made to depressurize the RCS in a controlled manner as rapidly as possible.

The 16 hour1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> time period to reach the restrictive conditions in the pressurizer represents a I

reasonable amount of time to meet these cocd1tions under an expedited circumstance.

The Low Temperatur2 Overpressure Protection System must be tested on a periodic bases consistent with the need for its use.

A CNANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST shall be performed prior to enabling the overpressure protection system during cooldoun and startup.

4 The limitations and surveillance requirements on the ECCS equipment provides assurance that a mass addition i

i pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a single PORV or the limiting conditions placed on the pressertzer.

The restrictions for startup of a RCP limits the heat input accident to within the r?lleving capabilities of I

3 a single PORV.
