A.

PURPOSE This procedure provides actions to perform a natural circulation RCS' cooldown and depressurization to cold shutdown, with no accident in progress, under requirements that will preclude any upper head void formation.

B.

ENTRY CONDITIONS This procedure was written for Modes 1, 2 and 3, near no load conditions.

Using this procedure when not in these modes requires a step by step evaluation to determine if the required action is still applicable to current plant conditions.

This procedure is from 1)

E0P 35 ES-0.1, REACTOR TRIP RESPONSE, Step 13, when it has been determined that a natural circulation cooldown is required.

2)

E0P 35 ECA-0.1, LOSS OF ALL AC POWER RECOVERY WITHOUT SI REQUIRED, Step 21, when it has been determined that a natural circulation cooldown is required.

O 3)

E0P 35 ES-1,1, SI TERMINATION, Step 34, when it has been determined that a natural circulation cooldown is required.

STEP ACTION / EXPECTED RESPONSE RESPONSE NOT COTAINED CAUTION If SI actuation occurs during this procedure, E0P 35 E-0, REACTOR TRIP OR SAFETY INJECTION, should be performed.

NOTE

1. Foldout page should be open.
2. RCPs should be run in order of priority (2, 1, then 3 or 4) to provide normal PZR spray.
3. If conditions can be established for starting an RCP during this procedure, Step 1 should be repeated.
4. If the computer is not available to measure core exit TCs, manually measure TCs.
5. If auxiliary spray is required during procedure performance, maintain spray flow and throttle charging flow as necessary.
