'. 3.6 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS 3ASES 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 ECCS SUBSYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of two independent ECCS subsystems ensures that sufficient emergency core cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA assuming the loss of one subsystem through any single failure consideration.

'Either subsystem is capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all postulated break sizes ranging from the double ended break of.the largest RCS cold leg pipe downward. In addition, each ECCS subsystem provides long-term core cooling capability in the recirculation mode during the accident recovery period.

0 With the RCS temperature below 350 F, one OPERABLE ECCS subsystem is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements.

The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pump and one metering pump to be OPERABLE and the Surveil hnce Requirement to verify the remainingcentrifugalchargingpumpandhighpressuresafetyinjectionpumps to be inoperable below 315 F provides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a single low temperature overpressurization relief valve.

In order to use the HPSI pumps to provide high pressure recirculation following a small break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) coincident with a single active failure, the following modifications to the emergency core cooling system have been made. A piping crosstie between each HPSI pump suction and the RHR pump discharge has been installed. Two valves, SI-MOV-901 and SI-MOV-902 have been installed in this crosstie. The two manual HPSI pump suction valves have been replaced with motor-operated valves, SI-MOV-854A and B, to prevent contaminated water from entering the RWST when using the HPSI pumps to provide flow to the core during recirculation. Currently, these valves are locked open.

The manual core deluge isolation valve has been replaced with a de-energized motor-operated valve, SI-MOV-873. This valve is locked open to ensure that adequate flow is available to the core deluge system.

The Surveillance Requirements provided to ensure OPERABILITY of each component ensures that as a minimum, the assumptions used in the safety analyses are met and that subsystem OPERABILITY is maintained.

3-10k Amendment No. 121

4 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS BASES Surveillance requirements for throttle valve position and flow balance testing provide assurance that proper ECCS flows will be maintained in the ,

i event of a LOCA, Valve RH-FCV-796 is required to be throttled open within a specified range.

That throttled position has been determined by separate analyses to ensure acceptable core performance during post-LOCA recirculation.

The surveillance requirements test the operability of check valves which act as primary coolant system pressure isolation valves and thereby reduces the potential for an intersystem loss of coolant accident. ,

I In order to use the high pressure safety injection (HPSI) pumps to perform high pressure recirculation (HPR) following a small break loss of coolant accident (LOCA), successful operation of SI-MOV-24 and RH-MOV-874 is required. The monthly surveillance to be performed on these two valves will increase the probability that the valves are available to perform their function during the small break LOCA. Since SI-MOV-24 will not be closed to any measurable extent during the surveillance, there will be no effect on safety injection availability. Surveillance on RH-MOV-874, will only last for a short time and the probability of a small break loss of coolant accident concurrent with the surveillance is extremely low. If the valve becomes inoperable during this time, RH-V-783 in series with RH-MOV-874 can be closed. Therefore, there will be no measurable impact on HPSI system availability as a result of the surveillance.

Reference:

FSAR - Section 6.3 3.6.3 REFUELING WATER STORAGE TANK The OPERABILITY of the refueling water storage tank (RWST) as part of the ECCS ensures that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA. The limits on RWST minimum volume and boron concentration ensure that: (1) sufficient water is available within containment to permit recirculation cooling flow to the core, and (2) the reactor will remain subcritical in the cold condition

. following mixing of the RWST and the RCS water volumes with all control rods inserted except for the most reactive control assembly. These assumptions are consistent with the LOCA analyses.

The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics.

The maximum solution temperature for the RWST is based on design basis '

accident analysis.

The minimum solution temperature for the RWST is for freeze protection concerns. In addition, the minimum solution temperature for the RWST is also based on the stress analysis for the associated piping system and pressurized thermal shock.

EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS BASES 3.6.4 oH CONTROL SYSTEM The trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate (TSP) stored.in porous wire mesh baskets located adjacent to the containment sump is provided to minimize the possibility of corrosion cracking in certain metal components during operation of the ECCS in the recirculation mode.following a LOCA. The TSP provides this protection by dissolving in the sump water and causing a resultant pH of 17.0 based on the following conditions: (1) RWST beron concentration of 2850 ppm,160,000 gallons of RWST volume injected (120,000 gallons during the injection phase, an additional 40,000 gallons during transfer to recirculation) and, (2) RCS and PZR at hot zero power conditions with a boron concentration of 2000 ppm.

If the entire contents of the RWST were injected into containment, sufficient TSP is available to raise the sump pH to 16.5. This is sufficiently high to reduce the susceptibility of stainless steel to stress corrosion cracking.
