ECR # LG 9940253 Rev. 0 Page TECH SPEC MARKUP INSERT 16 (eace 1 of 4h The reactor protection system is made up of two independent trip systems.

There are usually four channels to monitor each parameter with two channels in each trip system. The outputs of the channels either channel in will a triptrip system that are combined in a logic so that trip system. The tripping of both trip systems will produce a reactor scram. The APRM system is j divided channels.intoEach four APRM channels and four 2-Out-Of-4 Voter APRM channel provides inputs to each of the four voter channels. The four voter channels are divided into two groups one RPSoftrip two each, with each group of two providing inputs to system. The system is designed to allow one APRM channel, but no voter channels, to be bypassed. j i

The system protection meets the intent of IEEE-279 for nuclear power plant systems. Specified surveillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage times have been determined in accordance with NEDC-30851P-A, " Technical Specification Improvement Analyses for BWR Reactor Protection System" and NEDC-32410P-A,

" Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control Power Range Neutron Monitor (NUMAC PRNM) Retrofit Plus Option III Stability Trip Function."

The bases-for the trip settings of the RPS are j

-discussed in the bases for Specification 2.2.1.

Actions a, b and c define the action (s) required when RPS channels are discovered to be inoperable. For those actions, separate entry condition is allowed for each inoperable RPS channel. Separate entry means that the allowable time clock (s) 1 for actions a, b or c start upon discovery of inoperability for that specific channel. Restoration of an inoperable RPS channel satisfies only the action statements for that particular channel.

Action statement (s) for remaining inoperable channel (s) must be !

met according to their original entry time.

Because of the diversity of sensors available to provide trip '

signals and the redundancy of the RPS design, an allowable out of service time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months has been shown to be acceptable (NEDC-30851P-A and NEDC-32410P-A) inoperable channel to OPERABLE status.to permit restoration However, of any this out of service t .me is only acceptable provided that the associated i

2.2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS .

BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS The Reactor Protection System instrumentation setpoints specified in Table 2.2.1-1 are the values-at which the reactor trips are set for each para-meter. The Trip Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the reactor core and reactor coolant system are prevented from exceeding their Safety Limits during normal operation and de.lgn basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist in mitigating the consequences of accidents. Operation with a trip set less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that the difference between each Trip Setpoint and the Allowable Value is equal ~to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

1. Intermediate Range Monitor, Neutron Flux - High

The IRM system consists of 8 chambers, 4 in each of the reactor trip systems. The IRR is a 5 decade 10 range instrument. The trip setpoint of 120 s divisions of scale is active in each of the 30 ranges. Thus as the IRM is ranged up to accommodate the increase in power level, the trip setpoint is also ranged up. The IRM, instruments provide for overlap with both the ADRM and SRM systems.

4 The most significant source of reactivity changes during the power

. increase is due to control rod withdrawal. In order to ensure that the IRM provides the required protection, a range of. rod withdrawal accidents have been analyzed. The results of these analyses are in Section 15.4 of.the FSAR. The most severe case involves an initial condition in which THERMAL POWER is at approximately 1% of RATED THERMAL POWER. Additional conservatism was taken in this analysis by assuming the IRM channel closest to the control rod being withdrawn is bypassed. The results of this analysis show that the.

reactor is shutdown and peak power is limited to 21% of RATED THERMAL POWER with the peak fuel enthalpy well below the fuel failure threshold of 170 cal /gm.

Based on this analysis, the IRM provides protection against local control rod errors and continuous withdrawal of control rods in sequence and provides backup protection for the APRM.

bER , Averace Power Range Monitor EdRON Fhu - UpacA le-W(sefc

,{, A J '

For operation at low pressure and low flow during STARTUP, the APRM scram setting of 15% of RATED THERMAL POWER provides adequate thermal margin between the setpoint and the Safety Limits. The margin accommodates toe anticipated

. maneuvers associated with power plant startup. Effects of increasing pressure at zero or low void content are minor and cold water from sources available during startup is not much colder than that already in the system. Tempera-ture coefficients are small and control rod patterns are constrained by the RWM. Of all the possible sources of reactivity input, uniform control rod withdrawal is the most probable cause of significant power increase.

Because the flux distribution associated with uniform rod withdrawals does not involve high_ local peaks and because several rods must be moved to change power )

. by a significant amount, the rate of power rise is very slow.' Generally the heat flux is in near equilibrium with the fission rate. In an assumed uniform rod withdrawal approach to the trip level, the rate of power rise is not more than 55 of RATED THERMAL POWER per minute and the APRM system would be more than adequate to_ assure shutdown before the power could exceed the Safety Limit.

3. Reactor Vessel Steam na== Pressure-Hiah High pressure in the nuclear system could cause a rupture to the nuclear system process barrier resulting in the release of' fission products. A pressure increase while operating will also tend to increase the power of the reactor by compressing voids !Ns addin reactivity. The trip will quickly reduce the neutron flux, cot.Ateracting the pressure increase. The trip setting is slightly higher than the operating pressure to permit normal operation without spurious

, trips. The setting provides for a wide margin to the maximum allowable design pressure and takes into account the location of the pressure measurement compared ,

to-the highest pressure that occurs in the system during a transient. This trip '

setpoint is effective at low power / flow conditions when the turbine stop valve and control fast closure trips are bypassed. For a turbine trip or load rejection under these conditions, the transient analysis indicated an adequate margin to the thermal hydraulic limit.

'3/4.3.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION i l The reactor protection system automatically initiates a reactor scram to:

a. Preserve the integrity of the fuel cladding. i b .' Preserve the integrity of the reactor coolant system.

c. Minimize the energy which must be adsorbed following a loss-of-coolant accident, and !

l 'd. Prevent inadvertent criticality.

i This specification provides the limiting conditions for operation '

i necessary to preserve the ability of the system to perform its intended

. function even during periods when instrument channels may be out of service l

because of maintenance. When necessary,- one channel may be made inoperable y#y for brief intervals to conduct required surveillance. k/

l l

The reactnr protection system is made 4 of two independent trip systems.

.There are usually four channels to monitor each parameter with two channels in c' _

each trip system. The outputs of the channels in a trip . system are combined

-in a logic so that either channel will trip that trip system. The tripping of both trip systems will produce a reactor scram. The system meets the intent '

' of IEEE-279 for nuclear power plant protection systems. Specified-surveillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage times have been l-determined in accordance with NEDC-30851P, " Technical Specification Improvement Analyses for BWR Reactor Protection System," as a proved by the NRC and documented in the NRC Safety Evaluation Report ( ER) letter to T. A.

Pickens from A. Thadant dated July 15, 1987. The bases or t e trip settings >

of- RPS are discussed in the bases for Specification 2.2.1.

Automatic reactor trip upon. receipt of a high-high radiation signal '

from the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitoring System was removed as the result of an analysis performed by General Electric in NED0-31400A. The NRC approved the results-of this analysis as documented in the SER (letter to George J. Beck, BWR Owner's Group from A.C. Thadani, NRC, dated May 15, 1991).

The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the protective functions associated with each channel are -

completed within the time limit assumed in the safety analyses. No crodit was taken for those channels with response times indicated as not isonntatrW [MR4 Response time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential,' overlapping or F

' total channel test measurement, provided such tests ~ demonstrate the total '

channel response time as defined. Sensor response time verification may be 0 demonstrated by either (1) inplace, onsite or offsite test measurements, or (2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times. Response time testing for the sensors as noted in Table 3.3.1-2 is not required based on the analysis in NEDO-32291-A. Response time testing for the remaining channel components is required as noted. <

2.2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS w.

BASES 2.2.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM' INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS The' Reactor-Protection System instrumentation.setpoints specified in Table 2.2.1-1 are the values at which'the reactor trips are set for each para-meter.: The Trip Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the reactor core

.and reactor coolant system are prevented from exceeding their Safety Limits during normal operation and design basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist'in mitigating the consequences of accidents. Operation with a

-trip set less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis tnat the difference between each Trip Setpoint and:the Allowable Value is equal to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

1. Intermediate Ranae Monitor. Neutron Flux - Hiah The IRM system consists of 8 chambers, 4 in each of the reactor trip systems. The IRM is a 5 decade 10 range instrument. The trip setpoint of 120 divisions of scale is active in each of the 10 ranges. Thus as the IRM is ranged up to accommodate the increase in power level, the trip setpoint is also ranged up. The IRM instruments provide'for overlap with both the APRM and SRM systems.

The most signif : ant source of reactivity changes during the power increase is due to e +rol rod withdrawal. In order to ensure that the IRM 2rovides the requit protection, a range of rod withdrawal accidents have

>een analyzed. -The , asults of these analyses are in Section 15.4 of the FSAR. The most severe case involves an initial condition in which THERMAL POWER is at ap)roximately 1%'of RATED THERMAL ~ POWER. Additional conservatism was taken in tiis analysis by assuming the IRM channel closest to the control rod being withdrawn is bypassed. The results of this analysis show that the

, reactor is shutdown and peak ~ power is limited to 21% of RATED THERMAL POWER with the peak fuel enthal ay well below the fuel failure threshold of 170 cal /gm.

Based on this analysis, t1e IRM provides protection against local control rod errors and continuous withdrawal of control rods in sequence and provides backup protection for the APRM.

2. Averaae' Power Ranae Monitor ,

The APRM system is divided into four APRM channels and four 2-Out-0f-4 Voter channels. The four voter channels are divided hte two groups of two each, with each group of two providing inputs to one RPS tr 4 system. All four voters will trip (full scram) when any two APRM channels exceed their trip setpoints.

For operation at low pressure and low flow during STARTUP, the APRM Neutron Flux-Upscale (Setdown) scram setting of 15% of RATED THERMAL POWER provides adequate thermal margin between the setpoint and the Safety Limits. The margin accommodates the anticipated maneuvers associated with power plant startup. Effects of increasing pressure at zero or low void content are minor and cold water from sources available during startup is not much colder than that already in the system. Tempera-

~ ture coefficients are small and control rod patterns are constrained by the

- RWM. -Of all the possible sources of reactivity input, uniform control rod withdrawal is the most probable cause of significant power increase.

LIMITING SAFETY SYSTFM SETTINGS BASES

. REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued)

Averaae Power Ranae Monitor -(Continued)

Because the flux distribution associated with uniform rod withdrawals does not involve high local peaks and because several rods must be moved to change >ower by a significant-amount, the rate of power rise is very slow. Generally. tie

-heat flux is in near equilibrium with.the fission rate. In an assumed uniform rod withdrawal approach to the trip level, the rate of power rise is not more than 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER per minute and the APRM system would be more than adequate to assure shutdown before the power could exceed the Safety Limit.

.The 15% Neutron. Flux - Upscale (Setdown) trip remains active until the mode switch is placed in the Run position. l The APRM trip system is calibrated using heat balance data taken during steady state conditions. Fission chambers provide the basic input to the 1

. system and therefore the monitors res)ond directly and quickly to changes due 1 to transient operation for the case of the Neutron Flux - Upscale setpoint; i.e., I for a power increase, the THERMAL POWER of the fuel will be less than that indicated by the neutron flux due to the time constants of the heat transfer associated with the fuel. For the Simulated Thermal Power - Upscale setpoint, a time constant of 6

0.6 seconds is introduced into the flow-biased APRM in l order to simulate the fuel thermal transient characteristics. A more conservative I maximum-value is used for the flow-biased setpoint as shown in Table 2.2.1-1.

The.APRM setpoints were selected to provide adequate margin for the Safety Limits and yet allow operating margin that reduces the possibility of unneces- l sary shutdown. j

3. Reactor Vessel Steam Dome Pressure-Hiah :

High pressure in the nuclear system could cause a rupture to the nuclear system process barrier.resulting in the release of fission products. A pressure -l increase while operating will also tend to increase the power of the reactor by compressing voids thus adding reactivity. The trip will quickly reduce the neutron flux, counteracting the pressure increase. The trip setting is slightly higher than the operating pressure to permit normal operation without spurious i trips. The setting provides for a wide margin to the maximum allowable design i pressure and takes into account the location of the pressure measurement compared j to the highest pressure that occurs in the system during a transient. This trip <

setpoint is' effective at low power / flow cor.ditions when the turbine stop valve '

and control fast closure trips are bypassed. For a turbine trip or load rejection under these conditions the transient analysis indicated an adequate margin to the thermal hydraulic limit.

3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION

'The reactor protection system automatically initiates a reactor scram to:

a. Preserve-the integrity of the fuel cladding,

b. Preserve the integrity of the reactor coolant system,

c. . Minimize the energy which must be adsorbed following a loss-of-coolant accident,, and

~d . Prevent inadvertent criticality.

This specification provides the limiting conditions for operation necessary to preserve the ability of the system to perform its intended function even during periods when instrument channels may be out of service because of maintenance. When necessary, one channel may be made inoperable

. for brief intervals to conduct required surveillance.

The' reactor protection system is made up of two independent trip systems.

-Therelare usually.four channels to monitor each parameter with two channels in each trip system.' The outputs of the channels in a trip system are combined in a logic so that either channel will trip that trip system. The tripping of both trip systems will produce a reactor scram. The APRM system is divided into four APRM channels and four 2-Out-Of-4 Voter channels. Each APRM channel provides inputs to each of the four voter channels. -The four voter channels are divided into two groups of two each, with each group of two providing inputs to one RPS trip system. The system is designed to allow one APRM channel, but no voter channels, to be bypassed.

The system meets the intent of IEEE-279 for nuclear power plant protection systems.. Specified surycillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage

times have been determined in accordance with NEDC-30851P-A, " Technical Specification Improvement Analyses for BWR Reactor Protection System" and NEDC-32410P-A, " Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control Power Range Neutron Monitor (NUMAC PRNM) Retrofit Plus Option III Stability' Trip Function." The bases for the. trip settings of the RPS are discussed in the bases for Specification 2.2.1.

- Actions a, b and c define' the action (s) required when RPS channels are discovered to be inoperable. For those actions, separate entry condition is allowed for each inoperable RPS channel. Separate entry means that the allowable time

clockJs)lfor actions a, b or c start upon discovery of inoperability for that specidic channel. Restoration of an ino statements for that particular channel. perableAction RPS channel statement satisfies (s) for only inoperable remaining the action channel (s) must be met according to their original entry time.

~

.Because of the diversity of sensors available to provide trip signals and the

~ redundancy of the RPS design, an allowable out of service time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months has been shown' to be acceptable (NEDC-30851P-A and NEDC-32410P-A) to permit restoration of any inoperable channel'to OPERABLE status. However, this out of service time is only acceptable provided that the associated Function's (identified as a " Functional Unit" in Table 3.3.1-1) inoperable channel is in one trip system and the Function still maintains RPS trip capability.

LIMERICK - UNIT 1 B 3/4 3-1

3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (continued)

. :The requirements of Action a are intended to ensure that appropriate actions are taken if multiple, inoperable, untripped channels within the same trip system for the same Function result in the Function not maintaining RPS trip capability. A Function is considered to be maintaining RPS trip capability when sufficient channels are OPERABLE or in trip (or the associated trip system is in trip), such that both l trip systems will generate a trip signal from the_ given Function on a valid signal.

For the typical Function with one-out-of-two taken twice logic, including the IRM l Functions and APRM Function 2.e (trip ca 2.b, 2.c, and 2.d are discussed below), pability associated with APRM Functions 2.a.this one channel OPERABLE or in trip (or the associated trip system in trip).

For Function 5 Main Steam Isolation Valve--Closure), this would require both trip systems to have e(ach channel associated with the MSIVs in three main steam lines ;

not necessarily the same main steam lines for both trip systems) OPERABLE or in trip or the associated trip system in trip).

For Function 9 (Turbine Stop Valve-Closure), this would require both trip I systems to have three channels, each OPERABLE or in trip (or the associated trip system in trip).

The completion time to satisfy the requirements of Action a is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. The 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months Completion Time is acce) table because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration or tripping of clannels. ,

With trip capability maintained, i.e., Action a satisfied, Actions b and c as applicable must sill be satisfied. If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, Action b requires that the channel or the associated trip system must be placed in the tripped condition.

Placing the inoperable channel in trip (or the associated tri) system in trip) would conservatively compensate for the inoperability, restore capa)ility to accommodate a single failure, and allow operation to continue.

As noted, placing the trip system in trip is not applicable to satisfy Action b for APRM Functi ons 2.a. 2.b, 2.c, or 2.d. Inoperability of one required APRM channel affects both trip systems. For that condition, the Action b requirements can only be satisfied by placing the inoperable APRM channel in trip. Restoring OPERABILITY or placing the inoperable APRM channel in trip are the only actions that will restore capability to accommodate a single APRM channel failure. Inoperability of more than one required APRM channel- of the same trip function results in loss of

. trip capability and the requirement to satisfy Action a.

. The requirements of Action c must be satisfied when, for any one or more Functions, at least one required channel is inoperable 6 each tri) cystem. In this condition, provided at least one chnnel )er trip system is OPERAB.E, normally the RPS still maintains trip capability for t1at Function, but cannot accommodate a

. single failure in either trip system (see additional bases discussion above related to loss of trip capability and the requirements of Action a, and special cases for Functions 2.a, 2.b, 2.c, 2.d, 5 and 9).

3/4.3'1- REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATl0N (continued) i The requirements of Action c limit the time the RPS scram logic, for any Function, would not accommodate single failure in both tri) systems (e.g., one-out-

reduced reliability of this logic arrangement was not evaluated in NEDC-30851P-A for the P. hour Completion Time. .Within the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months allowance, the associsted Function l

Completing the actions required by Action c restores RPS to a reliability level equivalent to that evaluated in NEDC-30851P-A, which justified a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months allowable out of service time as allowed by Action b. To satisfy the requirements of Action c, the trip system in the more degraded state should be placed in trip or, alternatively, all the inoperable channels in that trip system should be placed in trip (e.g., a trio system with two inoperable channels could be in a more degraded state.than a trip system with four inoperable channels if the two inoperable channels are in the same Function while the four inoperable channels are all in different Functions .

be based o)n prudent judgment and take into account current plant conditions (i.e.,Th what OPERATIONAL CONDITION the plant is in). If this action would result in a scram or RPT, it is permissible to place the other trip system or its inoperable channels in trip.

The 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months . allowable out of service time is judged acceptable based on the remaining capability to trip, the diversity of the sensors available to provide the trip signals, the low probability of extensive numbers of inoperabilities affecting al,1 diverse Functions, and the low probability of an event requiring the initiation of a scram.

As noted, Action c is not applicable for APRM Functions 2.a, 2.b, 2.c, or 2.d.

Inoperability of an APRM channel affects both trip systems and is not associated with a specific trip system as are the APRM 2-Out-0f-4 voter and other non-APRM channels for which Action c applies. For an inoperable APRM channel, the requirements of Action b can only be satisfied by tripping the inoperable APRM channel. Restoring OPERABILITY or placing the inoperable APRM channel in trip are the only actions that will restore capability to accommodate a single APRM channel failure.

l L -

.If it is not desired to place the channel (or trip system) in trip to satisfy the requirements of Action a, Action b or Action c (e.g., as in the case where

placing the ino>erable channel in trip would result in a full scram), Action d requires that tie Action defined by Table 3.3.1-1 for the applicable Function be l initiated immediately upon expiration of the allowable out of service time.

L l .

The Two-Out-0f-Four Logic Module includes 2-out-of-4 voter hardware and APRM l

Interface hardware. The voter Function 2.e is accomplished by the 2-out-of-4 voter l hardware which includes redundant outputs. The analysis in NEDC-32410P-A took credit

-for this redundancy in the justification for the 12-hour allowable out of service time, so the voter. Function 2.e must be declared inoperable if any of the 2-out-of-4 voter hardware's ' functionality is inoperable. The voter Function 2.e does not need to be declared inoperable-due to any failure affecting only the APRM Interface hardware portion of the Two-Out-Of-Four Logic Module.

2.2 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES-

< 2.2.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS

.The Reactor Protection System instrumentation setpoints specified in Table 2.2.~1-1 are the values at which the reactor trips are set for each para- )

-meter. The Trip Setpoints have been selected to ensure that the reactor core ;

and reactor coclant system are prevented from exceeding their Safety Limits during normal operation and design basis anticipated operational occurrences and to assist in mitigating the consequences of accidents. Operation with a trip set less conservative than its. Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that the difference between each Trip Setpoint and te Allowable Value is equal to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

1. Intermediate Ranae Monitor. Neutron Flux - Hiah The IRM system consists of 8 chambers, 4 in each of the reactor trip systems. The IRM is a 5, decade 10 range. instrument. The trip setpoint of 120 divisions of scale is active in each of the 10 ranges. Thus as the IRM is ranged up to accommodate the increase in power level, the trip setpoint is also ranged up, The IRM instruments provide for overlap with both the APRM

.and SRM systems.

The most significant source of reactivity changes during the power !

increase is due to control rod withdrawal. In order to ensure that the IRM !

provides the required protection, a range of rod withdrawal accidents have been analyzed. The results of these analyses are in Section 15.4 of the FSAR. The most severe case involves an initial condition in which THERMAL POWER is at ap)roximately 1% of_ RATED THERMAL POWER. Additional conservatism was taken in t11s. analysis by assuming the IRM channel closest to the control

. rod being withdrawn is bypassed. The results of this analysis show that the

- reactor is shutdown and peak power is limited to 21% of RATED T'IERMAL POWER ,

with the peak fuel enthal)y well below the fuel failure threshold of 170 cal /gm.

Based on this analysis, tie IRM provides protection against local-control rod errors and continuous withdrawal of control rods in sequence and provides backup protection for the APRM.

I

2. Averaae Power Ranae Monitor 1

The APRM system is divided into four APRM channels and four 2-Out-Of-4 Voter l channels. The four voter channels are divided into two groups of two each, with each group of two providing inputs to one RPS trip system.. All four voters will trip (full scram) when any two APRM channels exceed their trip setpoints.

= For operation at low' pressure and low flow during STARTUP, the APRM Neutron

-Flux-Upscale (Setdown) scram setting of 15% of RATED THERMAL POWER provides adequate

' thermal margin between the setpoint and the Safety Limits. The margin accommodates the anticipated maneuvers associated with power plant startup. Effects of increasing pressure at zero or low void content are minor and cold water from sources available during startup is not much colder than that already in the system. Tempera-

-ture coefficients are small and control rod patterns are constrained by the RWM. Of all the possible sources of reactivity input, uniform control rod uithdrawal is the most probable cause of significant power increase.

u LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION SETPOINTS (Continued)

Averaae Power Ranae Monitor (Continued)

Because the flux distribution associated with uniform rod withdrawals does not involve high local peaks and because several rods must be moved to change )ower by a significant amount, the rate of power rise is very slow. Generally tie heat flux is in near equilibrium with the fission rate. In an assumed uniform rod withdrawal approach to the trip level, the rate of power rise is not more than 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER per minute and the APRM system would be more than adequate to assure shutdown before the power could exceed the Safety Limit.

The 15% Neutron Flux - Upscale (Setdown) trip remains active until the mode switch is placed in the Run position.

The APRM trip system is calibrated using heat balance data taken during steady state conditions. Fission chambers provide the basic input to the system and therefore the monitors respond directly and quickly to changes due to transient operation for the case of the Neutron Flux - Upscale setpoint; i.e., I for a power increase, the THERMAL POWER of the fuel will be less than that indicated by the neutron flux due to the time constants of the heat transfer associated with the fuel. For the Simulated Thermal Power - Upscale setpoint, a time constant of 6

0.6 seconds is introduced into the flow-biased APRM in order to simulate the fuel thermal transient characteristics. A more conservative maximum value is used for the flow-biased setpoint as shown in Table 2.2.1-1.

The APRM setpoints were selected to provide adequate margin for the Safety Limits and yet allow operating margin that reduces the possibility of unneces-sary shutdown.

3. Reactor Vessel Steam Dome Pressure-Hiah High pressure in the nuclear system could cause a rupture to the nuclear system process barrier resulting in the release 0; fission products. A pressure increase while operating will also tend to increase the power of the reactor by compressing voids thus adding reactivity. The trip will quickly reduce the neutron flux, counteracting the pressure increase. The trip setting is slightly higher than the operating pressure to permit normal operation without spurious trips. The setting provides for a wide margin to the maximum allowable design pressure and takes into account the location of the pressure measurement compared to the highest pressure that occurs in the system during a transient. This trip i setpoint is effective at low power / flow conditions when the turbine stop valve and control fast closure trips are bypassed. For a turbine trip or load rejection under these conditions, the transient analysis indicated an adequate margin to '

the thermal hydraulic limit.

' :l3/43 l1 REACTOR' PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATIf , I l

The reactor protection system automatically initiates a reactor scram to: '

a. Preserve the integrity of the fuel cladding.

b. ' Preserve the integrity of.the reactor coolant system.

c. Minimize the energy which must be adsorbed following a loss-of-coolant accident, 'and.

d .- ' Prevent inadvertent' criticality.

-This specification provides the limiting' conditions for operation necessary to preserve the ability of the system to perform its intended function even during periods when instrument channels may be out of service ,

because of meintenance. When necessary, one channel may be made inoperable l for brief intervals to conduct required surveillance. J 1

The reactor protection system is made up of two independent trip systems. 1 There'are usually four channels to monitor each parameter with two channels in each I trip system. The outputs of the channels in a trip system are combined in a logic so that.either channel will trip that trip system. The tripping of both trip systems will produce a reactor scram. The APRM system is divided into four APRM channels and four 2-Out-0f-4 Voter channels. Each APRM channel provides inputs to each of the 1

'four voter channels. Tne four voter channels are divided into two groups of two j

. each, with each group of two providing inputs to one RPS trip system. The system is '

designed to allow one APRM channel, but no voter channels, to be bypassed.

The system meets the intent of IEEE-279 for nuclear power plant protection systems. Specified surveillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage times have.beeu determined in accordance with NEDC-30851P-A, " Technical Specification Improvement Analyses for BWR Reactor Protection System" and NEDC-32410P-A, " Nuclear Measurement Analysis and Control Power Range Neutron Monitor (NUMAC PRNM) Retrofit Plus Option III Stability Trip Function." The bases for the trip settings of the RPS are discussed in the Lases for Specification 2.2.1.

Actions a, b and c define the action (s) required when RPS channels are

. discovered to be inoperable. For those actions, separate entry condition is allowed for each inoperable RPS channel. Separate entry means that the allowable time

- clock (s) for Actions a, b or c start upon discovery of inoperability for that specific channel. Restoration of an ino statements for that particular channel. perable Action RPS channel statement (s) satisfies only inoperable for remaining the action channel (s)'must be met'according to their original entry time.

Because of the' diversity of sensors available to provide trip signals and the redundancy of the' RPS design, an allowable out of service time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months has been shown to be acceptable (NEDC-30851P-A and NEDC-32410P-A) to permit restoration of any

inoperable channel' to OPERABLE status. However, this out of service time is only acceptable provided that the associated Function's (identified as a " Functional Unit" E :in Table 3.3.1-1) inoperable channel is in one trip system and the function still

.gaintains RPS trip capability..

i c j

3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (continued) l The requirements of Action a are intended to ensure that appropriate actions

are taken if multiple,-inoperable, untripped channels within the same trip system for the same Function result.in the Function not maintaining RPS trip capability. A Function is considered to be maintaining RPS trip capability when sufficient channels

.are OPERABLE or in trip (or the associated trip system is in trip), such that both l

trip systems will generate a trip signal from the r'ven Function on a valid signal.

For the typical Function with one-out-of-two taken .wice logic, including the IRM Functions 2.b, 2.c, andand 2.dAPRM Function are discussed 2.e (trip) below , this capability would requireassociated both trip with APRM systems Functions 2 to have one channel OPERABLE or in trip (or the associated trip system in trip).

For Function 5 Main Steam Isolation Valve--Closure), this would require both l trip systems to have e(ach channel associated with the MSIVs in three main steam lines (not necessarily the same main steam lines for both trip systems) OPERABLE or in trip (or the associated trip system in trip).

For Function 9 (Turbine Stop Valve-Closure), this would require both trip systems to have three channels, each OPERABLE or in trip (or the associated trip system in trip).

i The completion time to satisfy the requirements of Action a is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. The I hour Completion Time is acce) table because it minimizes risk while allowing time for l

restoration or tripping of ciannels. i l With ip cp applicable abilitysgil m(ust maintained, i.e., Action a satisfied, Actions b and c as be satisfied.

l If the inoperable channel cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the allowable out of service time, Action b requires that the channel or the associated trip system must be placed in the tripped condition.

Placing the inoperable channel in trip (or the associated tri) system in trip) would conservatively compensate for the inoperability, restore capa)ility to accommodate a single failure, and allow operation to continue.

As noted, placing the trip system in trip is not applicable to satisfy Action b for APRM Funct1 ons 2.a. 2.b, 2.c, or 2.d. Inopera',ility of one' required APRM !

channel affects both trip systems. For that conditir,n, the Action b requirements can '

on!" he satisfied by placing the inoperable APRM channel in trip. Restoring OPEM RITY or placing the inoperable APRM channel in trip are the only actions that l will restore capability to accommodate a ' single APRM channel failure. Inoperability Lof'more than one required APRM channel of the same trip function results in loss of

_ trip capability and the requtrement to satisfy Action a.

'The requirements of Action c must be satisfied when, for any one or more '

Functions, at least one required channel is inoperable in each tri) system. In this

, . condition, provided at;least one channel )er trip system is'0PERAB.E, normally the RPS still maintains trip capability for t1at Function, but cannot accommodate a single failure in either trip system (see additional bases discussion above related j to loss of trip capability and the requirements of Action a, and special cases for Functions 2.a, 2.b, 2.c, 2.d, '; and 9). -

The re irements of Action c limit the time the RPS scram logic, for any Function,wouIdnotaccommodatesinglefailureinbothtri) systems (e.g., one-out-of-one and one-out-of-one arrangement for a typical four ciannel Function). The reduced reliability of this logic arrangement was not evaluated in NEDC-30851P-A for the 12 hour1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months Completion Time. Within the 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months allowance, the associated Function must have all required channels OPERABLE or in trip (or any combination) in one trip system.

Completing the actions required by Action c restores RPS to a reliability level equivalent to that evaluated in NEDC-30851P-A, which justified a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months

' allowable out of service time as allowed by Action b. To satisfy the requirements of

~ Action c, the trip system.in the more degraded state should be placed in trip or, alternatively, all the inoperable channels in that trip system should be placed in trip (e.g.,-a trip system with two inoperable channels could be in a more degraded state than a trip system with four incperable channels if the two inocerable channels are in the same Function while the four inoperable channels are all in different Functions). The decision of which trip system is in the more degraded state should be based on prudent judgment and take into account current plant conditions (i.e., i what OPERATIONAL CONDITION the plant is'in . If this action would' result in a scram '

or RPT, it is permissible to place the othe)r trip system or its inoperable channels in trip.

. The 6 hour6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months allowable out of service time is judged acceptable based on the remtining capability to trip, the diversity of the sensors available to provide the trip signals, the low probability of extensive numbers of inoperabilities affecting all diverse Functions, and the low probability of an event requiring the initiation of a scram.

As noted, Action c is not applicable for APRM Functions 2.a. 2.b, 2.c, or 2.d.

Inoperability of an APRM channel affects both trip systems and is not associated with a specific trip system as are the APRM 2-Out-0f-4 voter and other non-APRM channels for which Action c applies. For an inoperable APRM channel, the requirements of Action b can only be satisfied by tripping the inoperable APRM channel. Restoring OPERABILITY or placing the inoperable APRM channel in trip are the only actic cs that will restore capability to accommodate a single APRM channel failure.

If it is not desired to place the channel (or trip system) in trip to satisfy the requirements of Action a, Action b or Action c (e.g., as in the case where placing the inoperable channel in trip would result in a full scram), Action d requires that the' Action defined by Table 3.3.1-1 for the applicable Function be initiated immediately upon expiration of the allowable out of service time.

The Two-Out-0f-Four Logic Module includes 2-out-of-4 voter hardware and APRM Interface hardware. The voter Function 2.e is accom lished by the 2-out-of-4 voter hardware which includes redundant outputs. The anal sis in NEDC-32410P-A took credit for this redundancy in the justification for the 12- our allowable out of service time, so the voter Function 2.e must be declared inoperable if any of the 2-out-of-4 voter hardware's functionality is inoperable. The voter Function 2.e does not need to be declared inoperabis due to any failure affecting only the APRM Interface hardware portion of the Two-Out-0f-Four Logic Module.

3/4.3.1 REACTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (continued)

Automatic reactor trip upon receipt of a high-high radiation signal l' from the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitrring System was removed as the result of an analysis performed by General Electric in NE00-31400A. The NRC approved the results of this analysis as documented in the SER BWR Owner's Group from A.C. Thadani, NRC, dated May 15(letter to George J. Beck,

,1991).

1 The measurement of response time at the specified frequen'cies provides assurance that the protective functions associated with each channel are completed within the time limit assumed in the safety analyses. No credit was

, taken for those channels with response times indicated as not applicable except for APRM Simulated Thermal Power - Upscale and Neutron flux - Upscale trip functions l

(Table 3.3.1-2, Items 2.b and 2.c). Response time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential, overlapping or total channel test measurement, provided such tests demonstrate the total channel res)onse time as defined. Sensor response time verification may be demonstrated )y either (1) inplace, onsite or offsite test measurements, or (2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times. ,

Response time testing for the sensors as noted in Table 3.3.1-2 is not required based )

on the analysis in NED0-32291-A. Response time testing for the remaining channel '

components is required as noted. For the digital electronic portions of the APRM functions, performance characteristics that determine response time are checked by a combination of automatic self-test, calibration activities, and response time tests l of the,2-Out-0f-4 Voter (Table 3.3.1-2, Item 2.e).
