equipment and components located inside the containment against all postulated external environmental conditions and resulting loads.

3.8.1.1 Description of Containment The containment, Figures 1.2-2 through 1.2-6, is a seismic Category I rein-l forced concrete dry structure, which is designed to function at atmospheric 44 cond itions.

It consists of an upright cylinder topped with a hemispherical dome, supported on a reinforced concrete foundation mat which is keyed into the bedrock by the depression for the reactor pit and by continuous bearing around the pe riphery of the foundation mat.

The inside diameter of the cylinder is 140 feet and the inside height from the top of the base mat to the apex of the dome is approximately 219 feet; the net free volume is app roximate ly 2,704,000 cubic feet.

A welded steel liner plate, anchored to the inside face of the containment, serves as a leaktight membrane. Although not a code requirement, welds that are embedded in concrete and not readily accessible are covered by a leak chase system which permits leak testing of those welds throughout the life of the plant. Exemptions to these inaccessible welds are the welds joining mechanical penetrations X-60 and X-61 to the steel liner plate.

(The venting pipes which join the leak chase channels for these penetrations to the atmosphere were not provided; however, these welds underwent proper testing before they became inaccessible). The liner on top of the foundation mat is protected by a four feet thick concrete fill mat which supports the contain-1 ment internals and forms the floor of the containment.

The containment is designed to assure that the base mat, cylinder, and dome behave integrally to resist all loads.

Located outside the containment building and having a similar geometry is the containment enclosure building. This structure provides leak protection for the containment and protects it from certain loads, as discussed in Subsection 3.8.1.3.

The containment enclosure building is described in Subsection 3.8.4.

52 Changes in the parameters are calculated over a convenient time period (the longer the period the more accurate the results). The inventory change rate is determined by summing the volume change associated with each parameter and dividing this value by the time interval. The difference between the containment sump leakage rate and the inventory change rate will indicate leakage from sources other than the primary system.

5.2.5.4 Intersystem Leakage Detection The following three types of detection methods are employed to monitor systems connected with the RCPB for signs of intersystem leakage:

a.

Primary Component Cooling Water System Radiation Monitors These are gamma sensitive scintillation detectors. Liquid sample is drawn from the discharge side of the primary component cooling water pumps and returned back to the suction side. This system monitors primary component cooling water for radioactivity indica-tive of a leak from the reactor coolant system or from one of the radioactive systems which exchanges heat with the primary component cooling system. These detectors are provided with the relevant flow information, so as to get the radioactivity in terms of micro-curies per cubic centimeter.

b.

Condenser Air Evacuation Monitors This method is employed for detection of steam generator tube leaks.

Subsequent Leakage from Components in Safeguards Systems With> respect to piping and mechanical equipment outside the containment, considering the provisions for visual inspection and leak detection, leaks will be detected before they pro-pagate to major proportions. A review of the equipment in the system indicates that the largest sudden leak potential would be the sudden failure of a pump shaf t seal. Evaluation of leak rate, assuming only the presence of a seal retention ring around the pump shaft, showed that flows less than 50 gpm would result. Piping leaks, valve packing leaks, or flange gasket leaks tend to build up slowly with time and are considered less' severe than the pump seal failure.

Larger leaks in the ECCS are prevented by the following:

(a) The piping is classified in accordance with ANS Safety Class 2 and, receives the ASME Class 2 quality assurance program associated with this safety class.

1 (b) The piping, equipment and cupports are designed to ANS Safety Class 2 seismic classification, permitting no loss of function for the design basis earthquake.

i (c) The system piping is located v ithin a controlled area on

'(

the plant site.

(d) The piping system receives periodic pressure tests, and is accessible for periodic visual inspection.

(e) > The piping is austenitic stainless steel which, due to its

- ductility, can withstand severe distortion without failure.

--.y.rNCEA.T 6 lb.S A 1

Based on this review, the design of the primary auxiliary building and related equipment was verified for its ability to handle leaks up to a maximum of 50 gpm.

Leakage would drain to and collect in the primary auxiliary building sump. Automatic initiation of the sump pumps at a predetermined set point would be indicated at the main control board and would alert the operator to an abnormal condition.

Corrective action would include determining the location of the leak by visual inspection, and remote or manual isolation of the leak point

SB 1 & 2 Amendment 58 FSAR April 1986 f

Instrument error bands were calculated accounting for uncertainties such as measurement accuracy, calibration accuracy, signal drift, environment changes, etc.

The time from accident initiation to the first required manual actions is G

dependent on initial tank water level, draw-down rate and "lo-lo-1" level alarm point. The minimum time from accident initiation to required action is calculated to be 21.9 minutes. This is the time required to draw 350,000 gallons from the RWST at conservatively high pump flow rates us follows:

Flow Rate / Pump Pump (epm)

  • Safety Injection 450
  • Charging 450
    • Spray 3,300 Total 16,400 It should be noted that the entire 16,400 gpm is assumed to come from the RWST, neglecting the additional volume available in the spray additive tank.

As can be seen in Figure 6.3-6, the 350,000 gallon injection allowance is contained between the extreme low range of the " tech spec" alarm error band and the extreme upper range of the "lo-lo-1" signal error band. The 30,300 I

U gallon transfer allowance is found between the low range of the "lo-lo-1" alarm and high range of the " empty" alarm. A 67.000lgallon pump shutoff ll allowanceisprovidedbetweenthelowrangeofthef" empty"alarmandthe

The time available for the manual portion of the switchover is dependent on the rate of outflow. Table 6.3-10 lists the sequence of operator actions, estimated duration and maximum outflow rate at the end of each action.

In the event of a design basis LOCA, the sump isolation valves would be fully open 29 seconds after receiving the "lo-lo-1" signal. The combination of the containment pressure and elevation head from the sump would seat the check valves in line between the RWST and the CBS and RHR pumps (CBS-V3,

-V7. -V55. -V56) reducing the flow rate out of the tank to 1,800 gpm.p *e t'#-

This would result in a continued high flow rate from the tank until the RWST isolation valves (CBS-V2, VS) are closed (approximately 75 seconds fcer "lo-lo-1" signal by Table 6.3-10.

From this point there is at lea minutes of operation at 1,800 gpm, foratotalof()35/binutesbeforethe empty" alarm sounds. There is at least minutes of operation between 53 the "lo-lo-1" and possible vortexing in this case.

3c,o 53 The limiting single failure for the design is the failure of one of the RWST isolation valves (CBS-V2, -VS) to close.

If one of these valves does not close, the flow rate drops from 16,400 to 9,100 gpm (not 1,800).

At this high flow rate, the " empty" alarm will sound, alerting the operator to immediately shut off any pumps still taking suction from the tank. There is sufficient volume between the " empty" alarm and the calculated vortexing level for at least minutes of operation for shutting off the pumps.

l 1,8 45 53 Following the automatic manual switchover sequence, the two residual 63 heat removal pumps would take suction from the containment sump and deliver borated water directly to the RCS cold legs. A portion of the Number 1 residual heat removal pump discharge flow would be used to provide suction to the two charging pumps which would also deliver directly to the RCS cold legs. A portion of the discharge flow from the Number 2 residual heat re-moval pump would be used to provide suction to the two safety injection pumps which would also deliver directly to the RCS cold legs. As part of the manual switchover procedure (see Table 6.3-7, Step 4), the suctions of the safety injection and charging pumps are cross-connected so that one residual heat removal pump can deliver flow to the RCS and both safety injection and charging pumps, in the event of the failure of the second residual heat removal pump.

See Section 7.5 for process information available to the operator in the control room following an accident.

Am:ndmant 48 SB 1 & 2 FSAR Janusry 1983 The small break analyses deal with breaks of up to 1.0 f t2 in area, where the safety injection pumps play an important role in the initial core recovery 48 because of the slower depressurization of the RCS.

The RCS depressurization and water level transients show that for a break of approximately 3.0 inch equivalent diameter, the transient is turned around and the core is recovering prior to accumulator injection.

For a 3.5 inch equivalent diameter break, the core remains uncovered with a decreasing level until accumulator action.

Thus, the maximum break size showing core recovery prior to accumulator injection will be approximately 3.0 inch equivalent Accumulator injection commences when pressure reaches 600 pe.ie,M i

dine ter.

i.e.; approximately 1200 seconds for the 3.0 inch break size.

i The analysis of this break has shown that the high head portion of the ECCS, together with accumulators, provide suf ficient core flooding to keep the calculated peak clad temperature below required limits of 10 CFR 50.45.

Hence, adequate protection is afforded by the ECCS in the event of a small break LOCA.

6.3.3.3 Large Break LOCA 2 or larger of the RCS piping f

A major LOCA is defined as a rupture 1.0 f t including the double-ended rupture of the largest pipe in the RCS or of any g

line connected to that system. The boundary considered for LOCA as related to connecting piping is defined in Section 3.6.

+

Should a major break occur, depressurization of the RCS results in a pressure decrease in the pressurizer.

Reactor trip occurs and the safety injection system is actuated when the pressurizer low pressure trip setpoint is reached.

Reactor trip and safety injection system actuation are also provided by a high

)

containment pressure signal. These countermeasures will limit the consequences i

of the accident in two ways:

Reactor trip and borated water injection provide additional negative a.

reactivity insertion to supplement void formation in causing rapid reduction of power to a residual level corresponding to fission product decay heat.

b.

Injection of borated water ensures suf ficient flooding of the core to j

j prevent excessive clad temperatures.

psia.

When the pressure falls below approximately 600 ps.ig the accumulators begin to i

inject borated water. The conservative assumption is made that injected

}

accumulator water bypassas the core and goes out through the break until the termination of the blowdown phase. This conservatism is again consistent with l

the Final Acceptance Criteria.

The pressure transient in the reactor containment during a LOCA af fects ECCS 4

j performance in the following ways. The time at which end of blowdown occurs is determined by zero break flow which is a result of achieving pressure equilibrium between the RCS and the containment.

In this way, the amount of accumulator water bypass is also af fected by the containment pressure, since l

SB 1 & 2 Amendmant 59 FSAR May 1986 6.5.1.3 Design Evaluation Containment Enclosure Emergency Air Cleaning System (CEEACS) l a.

ST The containment enclosure exhaust filter trains are redundant, to insure the maintenance of a negative pressure in the containment enclosure and related areas and to insure cleanup of the exhaust air following an accident. All safety-related equipment and ductwork supports have been designed and seismically analyzed to withstand and function through a Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE).

The system is designed to limit off-site post accident doses to values below those specified in 10CFR100 (see Subsection 15.6.5 for evaluation of system performance).

A single component failure will not result in loss of function of this ESF system.

In the unlikely event that an accident requiring filter operation occurs, both of the redundant filter train fans will be auto-matically started on the "T" signal (see Drawin 9763-N-503515) to lV) provide an air flow velocity of approximately 40 fpm through their A4 associated filter beds.

In the further unlikely event of failure of one operating fan, the ductwork cross-connection will provide redundant air flow from the redundant fan across the partially-loaded or fully loaded filter bed.

gg The following analyses have been performed to demonstrate the capability of the system to draw-down the containment enclosure building to a negative pressure of 0.25 inches of water gauge in less than 4 minutes:

1.

Air In-Leakage Analysis A calculation was performed to determine the containment enclosure building air in-leakage through various air flow paths such as electrical, piping and duct penetrations, concrete structure, construction joints, doors, seal plates, metal partitions, ducts and floor drains. Air in-leakages were determined using data from the penetration sealant supplier, analytical calculation and experimental leakage data provided in " Conventional Buildings for Reactor Containment - NAA-SR-10100 (1965)", issued by Atomics International, a Division of North American Aviation Incorporated. The calculated maximum in-leakage was 62h scfm which includes maximum leakage of 4 scfm from the primary containment at a rate of 0.2% of the primary containment volume for the first day following a design basis LOCA.o The design capacity of the exhaust system is 2025 sefm.

Air Change Analysis An alternate calculation was performed considering one air change per day as the minimum required exhaust capacity of an i

exhaust system to produce the required negative pressure of 0.25 inches of water within the enclosure. This approach 1

'j 5(

required 615 scfm exhau capacity. The exhaust capacity L/

actually provided is scfm which has the potential for

{

i exhausting 3.25 volumes per day.

1 I

The calculated wind speed that would initiate building exfiltration is 17 miles per hour. At this or at a higher wind velocity, any I

exfiltration will be adequately dispersed.

HEPA filters and carbon adsorbers were tested at the expected accident environmental conditions for this secondary system. Results indicated no degradation of filtering efficiency. Subsection 15.6.5 analysis i

conservatively assumes lower efficiencies.

The systems are designed to meet the intent of Regulatory Guides 1.4 and 1.52.

See Table 6.5-1 for a discussion relative to con-formance with Regulatory Guide 1.52, Rev. 2.

b.

Fuel Storage Building Emergency Air Cleaning System (FSBEACS)

The fuel storage building exhaust filter trains are redundant, to insure cleanup capability and the ability to maintain a negative pressure following a fuel handling accident. All safety-related air handling equipment, equipment support and ductwork supports are designed to operate during and following an SSE. The system is designed to limit off-site post-accident doses to values not I

exceeding the requirements of 10CFR100 (see Chapter 15). Loss of one emergency exhaust filter train will not prevent the safety function from being performed. During fuel handling, only one set of filters and fan will normally be operaciag.

In the unlikely j

event of an accident, the second set of filters and fan can be manually started to provide redundancy. The operating filter will provide an sii-flow velocity of approximately 40 fps through its associate filter bed. In the further unlikely event of failure of t

i the operating fan, the duct; work cross-connection will provide

]

redundant airaflow across the partially-loaded or fully-loaded filter bed.

The iodine removal function and effectiveness of the containment building spray system is discussed in subsection 6.5.2.

This system will begin operation within 62 seconds after receipt of a LOCA generated "P" signal, as described in Subsection 6.2.1.1.

The function of the containment isolation systems is discussed in Subsection 6.2.4.

No credit is taken for iodine removal by the containment online purge system since it is only operated intermittently during normal plant operation and will isolate on a containment isolation signal if operating at the onset of an accident.

Subsection 15.6.5. Radiological consequences of this occurence are addressed in t

The combustible gas control system hydrogen recombiners, permanently located inside the containment, are designed to be operational within seven days I

SB 1 & 2 Amendment 56 FSAR November 1985 7.1.2.12 Conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.151 f

The recommendations of ISA Standard S67.02, 1980, as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.151, have been followed for the design and installation of safety-related instrument sensing lines, with the exceptions and clarifications listed below. See Subsections 7.1.2.2, 7.1.2.3 and 7.7.2 for discussion of specific sections.

1.

The instrumentation defined as Category I by Regulatory Guide 1.97 is the only instrumentation considered to be required to monitor safety-related systems.

2.

In clarification of paragraph 5.2.2 (2) of ISA S67.02, where instrument tubing penetrates a shield wall, measures have been taken to reduce potential personnel exposure for radiation

" streaming" from radioactive sources unless the radiation from piping nearby would be the larger source of exposure. These measures have included:

a.

Locating penetrations high enough to eliminate a concern from a radiation protection stand point.

b.

Locating some penetrations so as to avoid a direct streaming path from the source of radiation.

When the above two methods were not used, apply a radiation c.

absorbing penetration sealant.

3.

The sensing lines from safety-related HVAC ductwork are designed to the same standard as the ductwork.

4.

The sealed sensing lines for containment pressure, wide range reactor coolant pressure and the reactor vessel level indication system (RVLIS) are Safety Class 2 and installed to requirements of ANSI B31.1, seismic Category 1, rather than ASME Class 2, as recommended by Regulatory Position C.2.b or ISA S67.02, Section 4.1.

The sealed sensing lines are supplied by Westinghouse and are in accordance with their standard design.

The containment penetration sleeve is part of the BOP scope and is ASME Class 2.

5.

Common instrument taps are used for redundant sensors for pressurizer pressure and RCS flow (low pressure tap only). This is in conformance with the standard Westinghouse design.

SB 1 & 2 Avendment 55 FSAR July 1985 The stator windings are cooled by de-ionized water circulating in a closed loop between the generator and a generator stator cooling water unit on the ground floor. The heat absorbed by the de-ionized water is removed in a heat exchanger by the secondary component cooling water.

Failure of the stator cooling water system initiates a unit power runback which reduces power to 22%.

10.2.2.3 Steam Ext,rac, tion Connections Turbine steam extraction connections are provided for six stages of feedwater heating.

Steam is extracted from one stage of the high pressure turbine, from the high pressure turbine exhaust piping, and from four stages of the low pressure turbines. A combination of positively-assisted check valves in the extraction steam lines and automatically controlled heater drain valves protects'the turbine against water induction.

Check valves are provided in extraction steam lines 3 through 6.

There are no check valves in extrac-tion steam lines 1 and 2, since these lines are located within the condenser neck. However, in all cases, the combination of valving and heater drain valve controls is such that no single equipment failure will result in water entering the turbine. The check valves in extraction steam lines 3 through 6 will also provide additional protection against turbine overspeed following a load reduction. The extraction steam valves will close in less than 2 seconds under low flow conditions. The positive-assist action on the check valves is provided by spring-load air actuators. Limit switches on the air 55-cylinders will allow plant personnel to verify, by periodic tests, that the operating pistons are free to move under the action of the spring when the cir pressure is released.

10.2.2.4 Automatic Control _s The automatic control functions are programmed to protect the reactor coolant system with appropriate corrective actions, as explained in Chapter 7.

The turbine is tripped every time the reactor is trip ed.

A reactor trip is initiated upon a turbine trip above approximate 1' of full power.

The turbine generator is controlled and protected by an electro-hydraulic control system (EHC) that combines solid state ciectronic and high pressure hydraulic components to control the steam flow through the turbine. Single failure of any component will not lead to destructive overspeed. The proba-bility of multiple failures involving undetected electronic faults and/or stuck valvec at the instant of load loss is extremely low due to the high reliability of the control system components and periodic in-service testing and inspection of the main steam and intermediate reheat valves.

The EHC system consists of the following subsystems:

15.4.6 Chemical and Volume Control System Malfunction Thatt Results in a Decrease in the Boron Concentration in The Reacto'r Coolant 15.4.6.1 Identification of Causes and Accident Description Reactivity can be added to the core by feeding makeup water into the reactor j

coolant system (RCS) via the reactor makeup portion of the chemical and volume control system (CVCS). A boric acid blend system is provided to permit the operator to match the boron concentration of reactor makeup water during i

normal charging to that in the RCS. The boric acid from the boric acid tank l

is blended with primary grade water in the blender and the composition is

{

determined by the preset flow rates of boric acid and primary grade water on 1

the control board. The CVCS is designed to limit, even dader various postulated j

failure modes, the potential rate of dilution to a value trhich, after indication

{

through alarms and instrumentation, provides the operator' sufficient time to j

correct the situation in a safe and orderly manner.

\\

The opening of the reactor makeup water (RMW) control valve 'and one of the stop valves provides a flow path to the RCS, which can dilute tae reactor coolant. Inadvertent dilution from this source can be readily terminated by closing the control valve. The rate of addition of unborated makeup water to the RCS when it is not at pressure is limited by the capacity of the RMW pumps. Normally, only one RMW pump is operating while the other is on standby.

In order for makeup water to be added to the RCS at pressure, at least one charging pump must be running in addition to a RMW pump. With the RCS at pressure, the maximum delivery rate is limited by the capacity of the charging l

pumps, which is more limiting than the capacity of the RMW pumps.

I i

Information on the status of the RMW is continuously available to the operator.

i Lights are provided on the control board to indicate the operating condition j

of the pumps in the CVCS. Alarms are actuated to warn the operator if boric j

acid or demineralized water flow rates deviate from preset values as a result j

of system malfunction.

i An additional source of unborated water which can dilute the reactor coolant is the boron thermal regeneration system (BTRS). Borated RCS water is depleted j

of boron as it passes through the BTRS.

i j

The combined dilution capability from the RMW System and the BTRS potentially represents the worst possible case for RCS boron dilution. However, the BTRS is excluded as a potential source of unborated water during refueling, cold shutdown, and hot shutdown. Technical Specifications require that th6e.
