REACIOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES P3 55URE/ TEMPERATURE LIMITS (Continued) 2. These limit lines shall be calculated periodically using methods provided below. 3. The secondary side of the steam generator must not be pressucized above 200 psig if the temperature of the steam generator is below 70'F. 4. The pressurizer heatup and cooldown rates shall not exceed 100 F/h and 200*F/h, respectively. The spray shall not be used if the temperature difference between the pressurizer and the spray fluid is greater than S83'F. 5. System preservice hydrotests and in-service leak and hydrotests shall be performed at pressures in accordance with the requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI. The fracture toughness properties of the ferritic materials in the reactor vessel are determined in accordance with the 1972 Winter Addenda to Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Heatup and cooldown limit curves are calculated using the most limiting value of the nil-ductility reference temperature, RTNDT, at the end f 9 effec-tive full p n er years (EFPY) of service life. The 9 EFPY service life period is chosen such that the limiting RT at the 1/4T location in the core region NDT is greater than the RT of the limiting unirradiated material. The selection NDT of such a limiting RT assures that all components in the Reactor Coolant NDT System will be operated conservatively in accordance with applicable Code requirements. The reactor vessel materials have been tested to-determine their initial RTNDT; the results of these tests are shown in Table B 3/4.4-1. Reactor operation and resultant fast. neutron (E greater than 1 MeV) irradiation can cause an increase in the RT Therefore, an adjusted reference temperature, NDT. based upon the fluence and copper content and phosphorus content of the material in question, can be predicted using Figure B 3/4.4-1 and the largest value of aRI computed by either Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, "Ef fects of l NDT Residual Elements on Predicted Radiation Damage to Reactor Vessel Materials," or the Westinghouse Copper Trend Curves shown in Figure B 3/4.4-2. The heatup and cooldown limit curves of Figures 3.4-2 and 3.4-3 include predicted adjust-ments for this shift in RT at the end of 9 EFPY as well as adjustments for l NDT possible errors in the pressure and temperature sensing instruments. Values of ART de e n n 5 manner may be used W 1 W M ts NDT from the material surveillance program, evaluated according to ASTM E185, are .iv a l l ab l e.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS (Continued) schedule is shown in Table 4.4-5. The lead factor represents the relationship between the fast neutron flux density at the location of the capsule and the inner wall of the rear cor vessel. Therefore, the results obtained from the surveillance specimens can be used to predict the future radiation damage to the reactor vessel material by using the lead factor and the withdrawal time of the capsule. The heatup and cooldown curves must be recalculated when the ART determined from the surveillance capsule exceeds the calculated ART NDT NDT for the equivalent capsule radiation exposure. Allowable pressure-temperature relationships for various heatup and cooldown rates are calculated using methods derived from Appendix G in Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code as required by Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50, and these methods are discussed in detail in WCAP-7924-A. The general method for calculating heatup and cooldown limit curves is based upon the principles of the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) technology. In the calculation procedures a semi-elliptical surface defect with a depth of one-quarter of the wall thickne s, T, and a length of 3/2T is assumed to exist at the inside of the vessel wall is well as at the outside of the vessel wall. The dimensions of this postulate.1 crack, referred to in Appendix G of ASME Section III as the reference flw, amply exceed the current capabilities of inservice inspection techniques. Ti,eefore, the reactor operation limit curves developed for this reference crack are conservative and provide sufficient safety margins for protection agains' nonductile failure. To assure that the radiation embrittlement effects are accounted for in the calculation of the limit curves, the most limiting value of the nil-ductility reference temperature, RTNOT, is used and this includes the radiation-induced shift, ARTNDT, corresponding to the end of the period for which heatup and cooldown curves are generated. The ASME approach for calculating the allowable limit curves for various heatup and cooldown rates specifies that the total stress intensity factor, l K g, for the combined thermal and pressure stresses at any time during heatup j or cooldown cannot be grea.er than the reference stress intensity factor, K IR' for the metal temperature at that time. K is obtained from the reference I gg fracture toughness curve, defined in Appendix G to the ASME Code. The K curve is given by the equation: IR K = 26.78 + 1.223 exp [0.0145(T-RTNOT + 160)) (1) IR Where: K is the reference stress intensity factor as a function cf the metal IR temperature T and the metal nil-ductility reference temperature RT

Thus, NOT.
