PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) '

Reference to Technical Specifications (TS) numbers are given in both the Byron Station current Technical Specifications (CTS) and improved Technical Specifications (ITS). The CTS number is presented first, followed by the ITS number in brackets [ ).

l This PTLR for Unit I has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of .

TS 6.9.1.1liilTS 5.6.6). Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance. l l

The Technical Specifications addressed in this report are listed below:

l LCO 3.4.9.1 Pressure / Temperature Limits; and  ;

LCO 3.4.9.3 Overpressure Protection Systems.  !

[ITS LCO 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits; and LCO 3.4.12 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System).

2.0 Operating Limits The PTLR limits were developed using a methodology specified in the Technical Specifications. The methodology listed in WCAP 14040 NP A (Reference 1) was used with four exceptions:

a. Un of ENDF/B IV neutron transport cross section library and ENDF/B V dosimeter  :

reaction cross s~ections, * '

b. Optional use of ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G, Article G 2000,1996 Addenda,

c. Use of ASME Code Case N 514, and

d. Use of RELAP computer code for calculation of LTOP setpoints for Unit I replacement steam generators. .

WCAP-14824, Revision 2, is included as an attachment for reference. WCAP 14824, Rev. 2 contains the P/T cunts for Byron Unit 1, along with the weld metal data integration for Byron and Braidwood Units 1 and 2 and the Byron /Biaidwood fluence methodologyjustification for ENDF/B-VI cross sections. WCAP 14940 (Ref.14) contains the Byron Unit 2 Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves applicable to 12 EFPY.

2.1 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits (LCO 3.4.9.1/ [ITS LCO 3.4.3))

2.1.1 The RCS temperature rate of-change limits defined in Reference 14 are:

a. A maximum heatup of 100'F in any 1-hour period,

b. A maximum cooldown of 100*F in any 1-hour period, and

c. A maximum temperature changt ofless than or equal to 10'F in any 1-bour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit cunes.

I

IlYRON - UNIT 2 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT Operating Limits (Continued) 2.1.2 The RCS P/T limits for '.catup, insenice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figure 2.. and Table 2.1. The RCS P/T limits for cooldown are shown in j Figuie 2.2 and Table 2.1. These limits are defined in Reference 14. Consistent with the l methodology described in Reference 1, the RCS P/T limits for heatup and cooldown shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 are provided without margins for instrument error. These limits were developed using ASME Code Section XI, Appendix 0, Article G 2000,1996 Addenda. In determining compliance with Figures 2.1 and 2.2 and Table 2.1, mstrument uncertainties need not be con >ldered since appropriate station operating procedures ensure that the limits contained in the figures rnd table are not exceeded. The criticality limit curve specifies pressure temperature limits for core operation to provide additional margin during actual power production as specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix 0.

The P/T limits for core operation (excep for low power physics testing) are that the reactor vessel must be at a temperature equal to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and at least 40*F higher than the minimum permissible temperature in the corresponding P/T curve for heatup and cooldown.

2.2 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System Setpoints (l.CO 3.4.9.3/

[lTS LCO 3.4.12]).

The power operated relief valves (PORVs) shall each have lift settings in accordance with Figure 2.3 and Table 2.2. These limits are based on References 5,13 and 15.

The LTOP setpoints are based on P/T limits which were established in accordance .vith 10 CFR 50, Appendix G without ailowance for instmmentation error and in accordance with the methodology described in Reference 1. The LTOP PORV maximum lift settings shown in Figure 2.3 and Table 2.3 account for appropriate instrument error.

2.3 LTOP Enable Temperature The as analyzed LTOP enable temperature is 200*F (Reference 16).

The TS required enable temperature for the PORVs shall be 2 350'F RCS temperature.

(Byron Unit 2 procedures goveming the heatup and cooldown of the RCS require the arming of the LTOP System for RCS temperature of 350'F and below and disarming of LTOP for RCS temperature above 350'F).

Note that the last LTOP PORV segment in Table 2.2 extends to 450*F where the pressure setpoint is 2350 psig. This is intended to prohibit PORV lift for an inadvertent LTOP system arming at power.

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT Operating Limits (Continued) 2,4 Reactor Vessel Boltup Temperature (Non Technical Specification)

The minimum boltup teraperature for the Reactor Vessel Flange shall be h 60'F. Boltop  !

is a condition in which the Reactor Vessel head is installed with tension applied to any stud, and with the RCS vented to atmosphere (Reference 2).

2.5 Reactor Vessel Minimum Pressuriution Temperature (Non-Technical SpecMication)-

The minimum temperature at which the Reactor Vessel may be pressurized (i.e., in an unvented condition) shall be 2 60'F, plus an allowance for the uncertainty of the temperature instrument, determined using a technique consistent with ISA S67.04-1994.  !

BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMI'EP.ATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 Introduction Reference to Technical Specifications (TS) numbers are given in both the Braidwooc' Station current Technical Specifications (CTS) and Improved Tect nical Specifications (ITS). The CTS number ir, presented fir:1, followed by the ITS number in brackets [ ).

This PTLR for Unit I has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of TS 6.9.1.11/[ITS-5.6.6]. Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.

The Technical Specifications addressed in this report are listed below:

LCO 3.4.9.1 Pressure / Temperature Limits; and LCO 3.4.9.3 Overpressure Protection Systems.

[ITS LCO 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits; and LCO 3.4.12 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System).

2.0 Operating Limits The PTLR limits were developed using a methodology specified in the Technical Specifications.

The methodology listed in WCAP-14040-NP-A (Reference 1) was used with four exceptions:

a. Use of ENDF/B-IV neutron transpcrt cross-section library and ENDF/B-V dosimeter reaction cross-sections,

b. Optional use of ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G, Article G-2000,1996 Addenda (not used for Braidwood Unit 1 P-T curves),

c. Use of ASME Code Case N-514, and

d. Use of RELAP computer code for calculation of LTOP setpoints for Unit I replacement steam generators.

WCAP-14824, Revision 2, is included as an attachment for reference. WCAP-14824, Rev. 2 contains the P/T curves for Byron Unit 1, along with the weld metal data integratior ir Byron and Braidwood Units 1 and 2 and the Byron /Braidwood fluence methodologyjustifica z. lor ENDF/B-VI cross sections.

2.1 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits (LCO 3.4.9.1/ [iTS-LCO 3.4.3])

2.1.1 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits defined in Reference 7 are:

a. A raaximum heatup of 100 F ir, any 1-hour period,

b. A maximum cooldown of 100*F in any 1-hour period, and

c. A maximum temperature change ofless t.'en or equal to 10 F in any 1-hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.

p

BRAIDWOOD - UNIT I

, P.RESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT

- Operating Limits (Continued) 2.1.2 The RCS Pff limits for heatup, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figure 2.1 and Table 2.1. The RCS P/T limits for cooldown are shown in Figure 2.2 and Table 2.1. These limits are defined in Reference 7. Consistent with the methodology described in Reference 1, the RCS P/T limits for heatup and cooldown showm in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 are provided without margins for instrumeat error. In determining compliance with Figures 2.1 and 2.2 and Table 2.1, instrument uncertainties need not be considered since appropriate station operating procedures ensure that the limits contained in the figures and table are not exceedea. The criticality limit curve specifies pressure-temperature limits for core operation to provide additional margin during actual power production as specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix G.

The Pff limits for core operation (except for low power physics testing) are that the reactor vi.ssel must be at a temperature equal to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and at least 40'F higher than the minimum permissible temperature in the corresponding P/T curve for heatup and cooldown.

2.2 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System Setpoints (LCO 3.4.9.3/

[ITS-LCO 3.4.12]).

The power operated relief valves (PORVs) shall e .ch have maximum lift settings in accordance with Figure 2.3 and Table 2.2. These limits are based on References 5,13, and 14.

The LTOP setpoints are based on P/T limits which were established by 10 CFR 50, Appendix G without allowance for instrumentation erroi in accordance with the methodology described in Reference 1. The LTOP PORY maximum lift settings shown in Figure 2.3 and Table 2.3 account for appropriate instrument error.

2.3 LTOP Enable Temperature The as analyzed LTOP enable temperature is 200*F (Reference 15).

The TS required enable temperature for the PORVs shall be 2 350 F RCS temperature (Braidwood Unit 1 procedures governing the heatup and cooldown of the RCS require the arming of the LTOP System for RCS r mperature of 350*F and below and disarming of LTOP for RCS temperatu:e above 350'F).

- Note that the last LTOP PORV segment in Table 2.2 extends to 450*F where the pressure setpoint is 2350 psig. This is intended to prohibit PORV lift for an inadvertent LTOP system arming at power.

BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 1

,-- PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT Operating Lhnits (Continued) 2.4 Reactor Vessel Boltup Temperature (Non-Technical Specification)_

The minimum boltup temperature for the Reactor Vessel Flange shall be 2 60 F. Boltup is a condition in which the Reactor Vessel head is installed with tension applied to any stud, and the RCS vented to atmosphere (Reference 7).

2.5 - Reactor Vessel Minimum Pressurization Temperature (Non-Technical Specification)

The minimum temperature at which the Reactor Vessel may be pressurized (i.e., in an unvented condition) shall be 2 60'F, plus an allowance for the uncertainty of the temperature instrument, determined using a technique consistent with ISA-S67.04 1994.

' The reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens shall be removed and analyzed to determine changes in material properties. The removal schedule is provided in Table 3.1, The results of these anslyses shall be used to update Figures 2.1 and 2.2 and Table 2.1. The time of

- specimen withdrawal may be modified to coincide with those refueling outages or reactor shutdowns most closely approaching the withdrawal schedule.

The pressure vessel material surveillance program (Reference 6)is in compliance with Appendix H to 10 CFR 50, " Reactor Vessel Radiation Surveillance Program." The material test requirements and the acceptance standards utilize the reference nil-ductility temperature, RTmr ,

which is determined in accordance with ASME Section III Paragraph NB-2331. The empirical relationship between RTer nd a the fracture toughness of the reactor vessel steel is developed in accordance with Appendix G," Protection Against Non-Ductile Failure," to Section XI of the AShE Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The surveillance capsule removal schedule meets the requirements of ASTM E18F 82.

HRAIDWOOD - UNIT 2 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 Introduction Reference to Technical Specifications (TS) numbers are given in both the Braidwood Station current Technical Specifications (CTS) and Improved Technical Specifications (ITS). The CTS number is presented first, followed by the ITS number in brackets [ ].

This PTLR for Unit I has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of.

TS 6.9.1.11/[ITS-5.6.6]. Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.

The Technical Specifications addressed in this report are listed below:

LCO 3.4.9.1 Pressure /femperature Limits; and -

LCO 3.4.9.3 Overpressure Protection Systems.

[ITS-LCO 3,4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (Pff) Limits; and LCO 3.4.12 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System].

2.0 Operating Limits The FTLR limits were developed using a methodology specified in the Technical Specifications.

The methodolcgy listed in WCAP-14040-NP-A (Reference 1) was used with four exceptions:

a Use of ENDF/B-IV neutron transport cross-section library and ENDF/B-V dosimeter reaction cross-sections,

b. Optional use of AShE Code Section XI, Appendix G, Article G-2000,1996 Addenda,

c. Use of AShE Code Case N-514, and

d. Use of RELAP computer code for calculation of LTOP setpoints for Unit I replacement steam generators.

WCAP-14824, Revision 2, is included s an attachment for reference. WCAP-14824, Rev,2 contains the D/T curves for Byron Unit 4, along with th: weld metal data integration for Byron and Braidwood Units 1 and 2 and the Byron /Braidwood fluence methodologyjustifica: ion for ENDF/B-VI cross sections.

21 RCS Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits (LCO 3.4.9.1/ [ITS-LCO 3.4.3])

2.1.1 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits defined in Reference 7 are:

a. A maximum heatup of 100"F in any 1-hour period,

- b A maximum cooldown of 100*F in any 1-hour period, and c A maximum temperature change ofless than or equal to 10 F in any 1-hour period during

j. inseivice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.

I-

1 BRAIDWOOD - UNIT 2 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT Operating Limits (Continued) 2.1.2 The RCS P/T limits for heatup, insenice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figure 2.1 and Table 2.1. The RCS P/T limits for cooldown are shown in Figure 2.2 and Table 2.1. These limits are defmed in Reference 7. Consistent with the methodology described in Reference 1, the RCS P/T limits for heatup and cooldown shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 are provided without margins for instrument error. In determining compliance with Figures 2.1 and 2.2 and Table 2.1, instrument uncertainties need not be considered since appropriate station operating procedures ensure that the limits contained in the figures and table are not exceeded. The criticality limit curve specifies pressure-temperature limits for core operation to provide additional margin during actual power production as specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix G.

The P/T limits for core operation (except for low power physics testing) are that the reactor vessel must be at a temperature equal to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the insenice hydrostatic test, and at least 40'F higher than the minimum permissible ,

temperature in the corresponding P/T curve for heatup and cooldown.

2.2 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System Setpoir.ts (LCO 3.4.9.3/

[ITS-LCO 3.4.12]).

The power operated relief valves (PORVs) shall each have maximum lift settings in accordance with Figure 2.3 and Table 2.2. These limits are based on References 5,13 and 14.

The LTOP setpoints are based on P/T limits which were established by 10 CFR 50, Appendix G without allowance for instrumentation error in accordance with the methodology described in Reference 1. The LTOP PORY maximum lift settings shown in Figure 2.3 and Table 2.3 account for appropriate instrument error.

2.3 LTOP Enable Temperature The as taalyzed LTOP enable temperature is 200 F (Reference 15)

The TS required enable temperature for the PORVs shall be 2 350*F RCS temperature.

(Braidwood Unit 2 procedures governing tne heatup and cooldown of the RCS require the arming of the LTOP System for RCS temperature of 350*F and below and disarming of LTOP for RCS temperature above 350*F).

Note that the last LTOP PORY segmer : in Table 2.2 extends to 450 F where the pressure setpoint is 2350 psig This is intended to prohibit PORV lift for an inadvertent LTOP system arming at power.

,- PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT Op: rating Limits (Continued) 2.4 Reactor Vessel Boltup Temperature (Non-Technical Specification)

The minimum boltup temperature for the Reactor Vessel Flange shall be 2 60'F, Boltup is a condition in which the Reactor Vessel head is installed with tension applied to any stud, and with the RCS vented to atmosphere (Reference 7).

2.5 Reactor Vessel Minimum Pressurization Temperature (Non-Technical Specification)

The minimum temperature at which the Resctor Vessel may be pressurized (i.e., in an unvented concDion) shall be 2 60*F, plus an allowance for the uncertainty of the temperature instrument, determined using a technique consistent with ISA-S67.04-1994.
