PBAPS Unit 3 I NOTES FOR TABLE 3.1.1 (Cont'd) 10. The APRM downscale trip is automatically bypassed when the IRM instrumentation is operable and not high. 11. An APRM will be considered operable if there are at least.2 LPRM inputs per level and at least 14 LPRM inputs of the normal complement. 12. This equation will be used in the event of operation with a maximum fraction of limiting power density (MFLPD) greater than the fraction of rated power (FRP), where: i FRP = fraction of rated' thermal power (3293 MWt). MFLPD = maximum fraction of limiting power density where the limiting power density is 13.4 KW/ft for all 8 x 8 fuel. t The ratio of FRP to MFLPD shall be set equal to 1.0 unless the actual operating value is less than the design value of 1.0, in which case the actual operating value will be used. W= Loop Recirculation flow in percent of design. W is 100 for core flow of 102.5 million lb/hr or greater. Delta W = the difference between two loop and single loop effective recirculation drive flow rate at the same core flow. During single loop operation, i the reduction in trip setting (-0.66 delta W) is accomplished by correcting the flow input of the flow biased High Flux trip setting to preserve the original (two loop) relationship between APRM High Flux setpoint and recirculation drive { flow or by adjusting the APRM Flux trip setting. ]t Delta W equals zero for two loop operation. Trip level setting is in percent of rated power (3293 MWt). I j 13. See Section 2.1.A.l. I I 1 l ;

i PBAPS 1 3.0 BASES (Cont'd) the other protection trip system. Each protection trip system-has one more APRM than is necessary to meet.the minimum ~ number 1 required per channel. This allows the bypassing of one APRM per-protection trip system for maintenance,' testing or calibration. Additional IRM channels have.also been provided to allow for bypassing of one such channel. The bases for the scram setting for the IRM, APRM, high reactor pressure, reactor low water level, MSIV closure, generator load rejection, turbine stop valve 3 closure and loss of-condenser vacuum are discussed in . Specification 2.1 and 2.2. i Instrumentation sensing _drywell pressure is provided to detect.a loss of coolant accident and initiate the core standby cooling equipment. A high drywell pressure scram is provided at.the same l setting as the core standby cooling systems-(CSCS) initiation to i minimize the energy which must be accommodated during a loss.of coolant accident and to prevent return to criticality.- This instrumentation is a backup to the reactor vessel water level. instrumentation. High radiation levels in the main steam line tunnel above that 4 j due to the normal nitrogen and oxygen radioactivity is an indication of leaking fuel. A scram is initiated whenever such l radiation level exceeds fif teen times normal background. The purpose of this scram is to limit fission product release so that 10 CFR Part 100 guidelines are_not exceeded. Discharge of excessive amounts of radioactivity to the site environs is i prevented by the off gas treatment system, which provides sufficient delay time to reduce fission product release rates to well below 10 CFR 20 guidelines. A reactor mode switch is provided which actuates or bypasses the various scram functions appropriate to the particular plant operating status. Ref. paragraph 7.2.3.7_FSAR. The manual scram function is active in all modes, thus providing for a manual means of rapidly inserting control rods during all modes of reactor operation. l The APRM (High flux in Start-up or Refuel). system provides protection against excessive power levels and short reactor periods in the start-up and intermediate power. ranges. ) The IRM system provides protection against short reactor periods in these ranges. The control rod drive scram system is designed so that.all of the water which is discharged from_the reactor by a scram can be accommodated in the discharge. piping. The scram discharge volume accommodates in excess of 50 gallons of water and is the low point in the piping. No credit was taken for this volume in the design of the discharge piping as concerns i i. -

PBAPS 3.2 BASES (Cont'd) the emergency diesel. generators. These trip level settings were chosen to be high enough to prevent spurious actuation but low enough to initiate CSCS operation and primary system isolation so that post-accident cooling can be accomplished and the guidelines of 10 CFR 100 will not be exceeded. For large breaks up to the complete circumferential break of a 28-inch recirculation line and with the trip setting given above, CSCS initiation and primary system isolation are initiated in time to meet the above criteria. Reference paragraph 6.5.3.1 FSAR. The.high drywell pressure instrumentation is a diverse signal for malfunctions to the water level instrumentation and in addition to initiating CSCS, it causes isolation of Group 2 and 3 isolation valves. For the breaks discussed above, this instrumentation will generally initiate CSCS operation before the low-low-low water level 4 instrumentation; thus the results given above are applicable here also. See Spec. 3.7 for Isolation Valve Closure Group..The water level instrumentation initiates protection for the full spectrum of loss-of-coolant accidents and causes isolation of all isolation valves except Groups 4 and 5. j Venturis are provided in the main steam lines as a means of measuring steam flow and also limiting the loss of mass inventory from the vessel during a steam line break accident. The primary function of the instrumentation is to detect a break in the main steam line. For the worst case accident, main steam line break outside the drywell, a i trip setting of 140% of rated steam flow in conjunction with the flow limiters and main steam line valve closure, limits the mass inventory loss such that fuel is not uncovered, fuel temperatures peak at approximately 1000 degrees F and release of radioactivity to the environs is below CFR 100 guidelines. Reference Section 14.6.5 FSAR. Temperature monitoring instrumentation is provided in the main steam line tunnel exhaust duct and along the steam line in the turbine building to detect leaks in these areas. Trips are provided on this instrumentation and when exceeded, cause closure of-isolation valves. ] See Spec. 3.7 for valve Group. The setting is 200 degrees F for the main steam line tunnel detector. For large breaks, the high steam flow instrumentation is a backup to the temperature instrumentation.. j High radiation monitors in the main steam line tunnel have been l provided to detect gross fuel failure as in the control rod drop accident. With the established setting of 15 times normal background, j and main steam line isolation valve closure, fission product release is limited so that 10 CFR 100 guidelines are not exceeded for this l accident.
