This assumes that the core spray subsystems and LPCI constitute a one-out-of-two system; however, the combined effect of the two systems to limit excessive cladding temperature must also be considered.

The test interval specified in Specification 4.5 was 3 months.

Therefore, an allowable repair period which maintains the basic risk considering single failures should be less than 30 days, and this scecification is within this period.

For multiple failures, a shorter interval is specified; to improve the assurance that the remaining systems will function, a daily test is called for. Although it is recognized that the information given in Reference I provides a quantitative method te estimate allowable repair times, the lack of operating data to succort the analytical approach prevents complete acceptance of this method at this time.

Therefore, the times stated in the specific items were established with due regard to judgment.

Should one core scray subsystem become inoperable, the remaining core spray subsystem and the entire LCPI mode of the RHR system are available should the need for core cooling arise..To assure that the remaining core spray and the LPCI mode of the RHR system are available, they are demonstrated to be operable immediately.

This demonstration includes a manual initiation of the pumps and associated valves.

Based on judgments of the reliability of the remaining systems, i.e., the core spray and LPCI, a 7-day repair period was obtained.

QUAIMITIES OPR-30 3.5 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION BASES A.

Core Spray and LPCI Mode of h IHt System lhls specification assures that adequate emergency cooling capability is available.

Based on h loss-of-coolant analyses included in References I and 2 and in accordance with 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K, core cooling systems provide sufficient cooling to h core to dissipate the energy associated with h loss-of-coolant accident, to limit h calculated peak cladding temperature to less than 2200*F, to assure that core geometry remains intact to limit h corewide cladding metal-water reaction to less than 15 and to limit h calculated local metal-water reaction to less than 175.

The allowable repair times are established so h t h everage risk rate for repair would be no greater than h basic risk rate. h method and concept are described in Reference 3.

Using h results developed in this reference, h repair period is found to be less h n half N test interval. This assumes h t h core spray subsystems and LPCI constitute a one-out-of-two system; however, h combined effect of h two systems to limit excessive cladding temperature must also be considered. The test interval specified in Specification 4.5 was 3 months. Therefore, an allowable repair period which maintains and this W basic risk considering single failures should be less N n 30 days, Interval is specification is within this period. For multiple failures, a shorter specified; to improve N assurance that h remaining systems will function, a dally test is called for. Although it is recognized ht h information given in Reference 3 provides a quantitative method to estimate allowable repair times, h lack of operating data to support h analytical approach prevents complete acceptance of this method at this time. Therefore, h times stated in the specific items were established with due regard to judynent.

Should one core spray subsystem become Inoperable, the remaining core spray subsystem and the entire LPCI mode of the RHR system are available should h need for core cooling arise. To assure ht h remaining core spray and the LPCI mode of the RHR system are available, h y are denonstrated to be operable Ismediately. This demonstration includes a manual initiation of h pumps and associated valves. Based on judgments of h reliability of h remaining systems, i.e., h core spray and LPCI, a 7-day repair period was obtained.

i Should h loss of one flHR pump occur, a nearly full complement of core and containment cooling equipment is available. Three RlR peps in conjunction with h core spray subsystem will perform h core cooling function. Because of h availability of the majority of W core cooling equipment, which will be demonstrated to be operable, a 30-day repair period is justified, if h LPCI mode of h flHR system is not available, at least two RHR pops must be available to fulfill h containment cooling function. The 7-day repair perio:1 is set on this basis.

8.

lHt Service Water The containment cooling mode of N IHL system is provided to remove heat enerov from the containment in h event of a loss-of-coolant accident. For h flow specifief, h contairunent long-term pressure is limited to less hn 8 psig and is therefore more Nn ample to provide the required heat removal capability (reference SAR Section 5.2.3.2).

The Containment Cooling mode of h RHR5 System consists of two loops. Each loop consists of I Heat Exchanger, 2 RHR Pungs, and the associated valves, piping, electrical equipment, and instrumentation. h "B"' loop on each unit contains 2 RHR Service Water Pumps.

During h period from November 24, 1981, to July 1, 1982, the "A" loop on each unit may utilize the "A" and "B" RHR Service Water Pumps from Unit 2 via a cross-tie line. After July 1 1982, each "A" loop will contain 2 RHR Service Water Pumps. El h r set of equlpme,nt is capable of performing the containment cooling function. Loss of one IHL service water pune does not seriously jeopardize h contalrunent cooling capability, as any one of the remaining three pumps can satisfy W cooling requirements. Since h re is j

some redundancy left, a 30-day repair period is adequate. Loss of one loop of h containment cooling mode of the RHR system leaves one remaining system to perfonn h containment cooling function. The operable system is demonstrated to be operable each day when the above condition occurs.
