Attachment 1 Generic Letter 98-04 Requested Information (1) A summary description of the plant-specific program or programs implemented to ensure that Service Level 1 protective coatings used inside the containment are procured, applied, and maintained in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and the plant-specific licensing basis for the facility. Include a discussion of how the plant-specine program meets the applicable criteria of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, as well as information regarding any applicable standards, plant-specific procedures, or other guidance used for: (a) controlling the procurement of coatings and paints used at the facility, (b) the qualification testing of protective coatings, and (c) surface preparation, application, surveillance, and maintenance activities for protective coatings. Maintenance activities involve reworking degraded coatings, removing degraded coatings to sound coatings, correctly preparing the surfaces, applying new coatings, and verifying the quality of the coatings.
RESPONSE
AmerenUE has implemented controls for the procurement, application, and maintenance of Service Level 1 protective coatings used inside the containment in a manner that is consistent with the licensing basis and regulatory requirements applicable to Callaway Plant. The requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B are implemented through specification of appropdate technical and quality requirements for the Service Level I coatings program, which includes ongoing maintenance activities.
For Callaway Plant, Service Level l' coatings are subject to the requirements of, Regulatory Guide 1.54, ANSI N 101.2, N 101.4, and ANSI N 5.12 as stated in Callaway Plant's Standard Plant Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Section 6.2 (Attachment 2). Excluded from these requirements, as provided in FSAR Section 6.2, are coatings applied on small equipment such as transmitters, small instruments, valves and electrical equipment. Adequate assurance that the applicable requirements for the procurement, application, inspection, and maintenance are implemented is provided by procedures and programmatic controls, which are approved under Callaway's Quality Assurance program.
(a) Service Level I coatings used for new applications or repair / replacement activities are procured from vendors with quality assurance programs meeting the applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B. The applicable technical and quality requirements that the vendor is required to meet are specified by AmerenUE in Callaway Plant Specification A-1003(Q)" Surface Preparation and Application ofField Coatings" (Attachment 4), in procurement documents and procedures, APA-ZZ-00400 " Procurement of Parts, Supplies, Materials and Services" (Attachment 5) and WEP-ZZ-00015 " Preparation of Procurement Documents" (Attachment 6). Acceptance activities are conducted in accordance with

___ __ D
l l
I procedure QCP-ZZ-03003 " Material Receipt Inspection" (Attachment 7) that is consistent with ANSI N 45.2 requirements (e.g., receipt inspection, source surveillance, etc.). These l procedures and specifications establish the technical and quality requirements, which when combined with appropriate acceptance activities provide adequate assurance that the coatings received meet the requirements of the procurement documents.
(b) The qualification testing of Service Level I coatings used for new applications or j repair / replacement activities inside containment are controlled by Specification A-1003(Q)
" Technical Specification for Surface Preparation and Application of Field Coatings" (Attachment 4) which meets the applicable requirements contained in the standards and regulatory commitments referenced above. These coatings, including maintenance coatings, I have been evaluated to meet the applicable standards and regulatory requirements previously referenced. Maintenance coatings were applied over actual paint samples removed from Callaway's containment building and tested in accordance with ANSI N101.2 per
- specification A-1003(Q)in order to demonstrate that these coatings were qualified for Service Level 1 application.
(c) The surface preparation, application and surveillance during installation of Service Level 1
- coatings used inside containment are controlled by Callaway Plant Procedure EDP-ZZ-03000
( " Containment Building Coatings"(Attachment 3) and Specification A-1003(Q)(Attachment l 4). This procedure and specification control coating type, application conditions, surface i preparation, application, painter qualifications, QC Inspector qualifications and inspections l points to assure Service Level I coatings meet the applicable portions of the standards and l regulatory commitments referenced above. Documentation of completion of these activities is performed in accordance with EDP-ZZ-03000, consistent with the applicable requirements.
l 2) Information demonstrating compliance with item (i) or item (ii):
l (i) For plants with licensing-basis requirements for tracking the amount of unqualified coatings inside the containment and for assessing the impact of potential coating debris on the operation of safety-related SSCs during a postulated design basis LOCA, the following information shall be provided to demonstrate compliance:
(a) The date and findings of the last assessment of coatings, and the planned date of the next assessment of coatings.
(b) The limit for the amount of unqualified protective coatings allowed in the l
containment and how this limit is determined. Discuss any conservatism in the l method used to determine this limit.
(c) If a commercial-grade dedication program is being used at your facility for dedicating commercial grade coatings for Service Level 1 applications inside the containment, discuss how the program adequately qualifies such a coating i for Service Level I service. Identify which standards or other guidance are
- currently being used to dedicate containment coatings at your facility; or, 2

RESPONSE
l AmerenUE is not committed to track the amount of unqualified coatings inside containment.
l Callaway plant does, however, require the use of qualified safety related coatings inside l containment. The use of qualified coatings is controlled by plant procedure EDP-ZZ-03000 l (Attachment 3) and screening questions on " License Impact Reviews". When qualified coatings l are not practical, an engineering evaluation is performed to determine the impact the unqualified coatings would have on containment based on location within containment and flow path to the l sumps. All unqualified coatings are assumed to fail and are tracked on an " Unqualified Coatings l Log" To date we have a total of 6,318 square feet of unqualified coatings inside containment of l which 5,400 square feet was applied during plant construction. Each coating application was i evaluated on a case by case basis and the total amount ofunqualified coating installed was found to be acceptable.
l (ii) For plants without the (licensing-basis requirementsfor tracking the amount of unqualilled coatings inside the containment andfor assessing the impact ofpotential l coating debris on the operation ofsafety-related SSCs during apostulated design basis LOCA), information shall be provided to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 10CFR50.46b(5),"Long-term cooling" and the functional capability l of the safety-related CSS as set forth in yourlicensing basis. If a licensee can l demonstrate this compliance without quantifying the amount of unqualified
! coatings, this is acceptable.
l l RESPONSE:
The following description and referenced materials describe the licensing basis for Callaway i Plant relative to conformance with 10 C.F.R. 50.46(b)(5), "Long-term cooling," specifically with regard to Callaway Plant's ability to provide extended decay heat removal including related assumptions for debris that could block containment emergency sump screens:
l
- Callaway Plant's Standard Plant Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), Section 6.2 (Attachment 2) l l
- Callaway Plant's containment sumps conform to Regulatory Guide 1.82, Revision 0 " Sumps for Emergency Core Cooling and Containment Spray Systems," as described in Callaway l Plants Standard Plant FSAR, Table 6.2.2-1 (Attachment 2). Under this commitment l Callaway Plant has assumed that the systems that draw from the sumps for emergency core I cooling and containment spray systems may experience sump blockage of up to 50% of the effective sump area from debris generated as a result of a LOCA. At the time Callaway Plant was licensed, no distinction was drawn between the various potential sources for post-LOCA debris; these systems were intended to function, even with debris partially obstructing the sumps, from whatever source derived. The analyses submitted as part of the licensing basis
- for Callaway Plant demonstrates that even with this blockage, the emergency core cooling i
3 l
d f
and containment spray systems will continue to provide sufficient cooling flow to fulfill the long-term cooling functions required to conform with 10 C.F.R. 50.46(b)(5).
]
. The NRC accepted these analyses and these systems as meeting the requirements of 10 C.F.R
!- 50.46(b)(5) in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) related to the operation of Callaway Plant, Unit No.1 (Docket STN 50-483) in Section 6.2.2.
- The licensing basis for Callaway Plant, as accepted by the NRC, in the FSAR, provides both the regulatory and safety basis for safety system performance. Coatings are not treated separately in the licensing basis for Callaway Plant because the sump screen blockage assumption does not
- ' distinguish among the source terms for the LOCA-generated debris. Accordingly, a separate l demonstration of the regulatory and safety basis for safety nytem performance is not required. 1 The following information shall be provided
(a) If commercial-grade coatings are being used at your facility for Service Level 1 applications, and such coatings are not dedicated or controlled under your Appendix B Quality Assurance Program, provide the regulatory and safety basis for not i
- controlling these coatings in accordance with such a program. Additionally, explain l why the facility's licensing basis does not require such a prograv. !
RESPONSE
AmerenUE does not currently employ commercial grade dedication for Service Level I coatings
{ used inside containment at the Callaway Plant.

( kr CALLAWAY - SP The containment spray system, in conjunction with the contain-ment fan coolers and the emergency core cooling system, is designed to remove sufficient heat from the containment atmos-phere following a LOCA or main steam line break inside the containment to rapidly reduce the containment pressure and temperature and maintain them at acceptably low levels.
The containment spray system is also designed to minimize the iodine and particulate fission product inventories in the containment atmosphere resulting from.a postulated LOCA.
Containment isolation is provided to minimize leakage from the containment. Steam line and feedwater line isolation is i provided to minimize the heat removal from the reactor coolant system and prevent excessive blowdown of a steam generator following a postulated main steam line rupture. Steam line isolation will also prevent excessive radioactivity release following a steam generator tube rupture. The containment purge isolation capability is provided to reduce the radio-iodine released following a fuel handling accident inside the containment.
Hydrogen recombiners prevent the accumulation of combustible mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen following a LOCA.
The emergency core cooling system (ECCS), consisting of accu-mulator tanks, safety injection pumps, RHR pumps, and centrif-ugal charging pumps, is provided for emergency core cooling to limit fuel damage following a LOCA or main steam line break.
An emergency exhaust system is provided to reduce the radio-iodine released following a fuel handling accident outside the containment and to filter ECCS leakage outside the containment following a LOCA.
The auxiliary feedwater system provides an adequate amount of feedwater into the steam generators to prevent a pressure transient which could cause a loss of reactor coolant through the pressurizer relief valves and a possible uncovering of the reactor core following a main steam line break or loss of the main feedwater system.
Other safety-related systems are identified in Section 3.2.
s Because of the importance of safety-related systems to the health and safety of the general public, special precautions are taken to ensure high quality in the components and in the
- system design and to ensure reliable and dependable operation.

Contain-ment penetration materials will meet the requirements of Article NE-2300 of ASME Section III, Division I. Table 6.1-1 includes the specifications for the principal pressure-retaining components.
6.1.1.1.2 Engineered Safety Feature Materials of Construction

The engineered safety feature materials that would be exposed to the emergency core cooling water and containment sprays following a LOCA are indicated in Table 6.1-1. These materials are chosen to be compatible with the core cooling and spray solutions. Additional information concerning metallic ma-terials' compatibility with post-LOCA conditions is provided in Reference 1.
In order to keep materiais within the containment that are subject to corrosion to a minimum, the following restrictions Rev. OL-O 6.1-3 6/86
.. - . . _ . - . ~ . - . - . - - - - . - . - _ - - _ - . - . . . .
a r CALLAWAY - SP a
.are placed on the use of zinc, aluminum, and mercury in the containment:
- a. Aluminum is severely attacked by the alkaline con-tainment spray solution. This reaction may result in the loss of structural integrity and the generation of gaseous hydrogen. The use of aluminum in the con-tainment is minimized.
- b. Boric acid reacts with zinc, oxidizing it and libera-ting hydrogen gas. The use of zinc (galvanized 1
materials and paint) in the containment is minimized to reduce the generation of hydrogen.
- c. The use of mercury and mercuric compounds is minimized inside the containment because of its corrosive effects on stainless steel, NiCrFe alloy 600, and The amount of mercury
'" alloys containing copper.
-associated with plant lighting and control switches, etc., is negligible.
Figure 6.2.5-2 shows the maximum allowable quantities of zinc 2-and aluminum inside the containment building. Corrosion. rates for zinc and aluminum are given in Table 6 2.5-4. Use of-aluminum and zinc inside containment is minimized to the extent practicable.
f For other materials which could come in contact with contain-ment sprays, tests have been performed and are~ detailed in
- Reference 2. These tests have shown that no significant amount
! of. corrosion products will be produced from these materials.
Many coatings which are in common industrial use may' deteriorate in the post-accident environment and contribute substantial quantities of foreign solids and residue to the containment
[ sump. Consequently, protective coatings used inside the containment in significant quantities are demonstrated to withstand the design basis accident conditions and are designed l- to meet the criteria given in ANSI N101.2 (1972), " Protective L Coatings (Paints) for Light Water Nuclear Reactor Containment l
Facilities," and are in compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.54, L " Quality Assurance Requirements for Protective Coatings Applied to Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants," as indicated in Table 6.1-2. Some small items may be painted or coated using common -
industrial practice but the paint / coating will not be in l
sufficient quantity to cause any clogging problems for the sump screens. Any precipitation of appreciable size that occurs ,
either settles out prior to reaching the sump screens or is trapped by the sump filter screen. The screen opening size
'(1/8 inch) is smaller than the line piping, the RHR heat Rev. OL-5 6.1-4 6/91 ,

$b p 6.2 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS 3 .
-The containment systems include the containment, the contain-ment heat removal systems, the containmentfisolation system, I
and the containment combustible gas control system.
The design basis accident (DBA) is defined as the most severe of a spectrum of hypothetical loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA) .
l The ability of the containment systems to mitigate the con-sequences of a DBA depends upon the high reliability of these systems. This section provides the design criteria and evalua-l tions to demonstrate that these systems function within the i
t ,- specified limits throughout the unit operating lifetime.
j 6.2.1 CONTAINMENT FUNCTIONAL DESIGN I
A physical description of the containment and the design criteria relating to construction techniques, static loads, and seismic loads is provided in Section 3.8. This section pertains to those aspects of containment design, testing, and evaluation
( that relate to the accident-mitigation function.
6.2.1.1 Containment Structure
- l 6.2.1.1.1 Design Bases The safety design basis for .the containment is that the contain-l (Ns_ ment must withstand the pressures and temperatures of the DBA without exceeding the design leakage rate, as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 50, and that, in conjunction with the other containment systems and the other engineered safety features, the release of radioactive material i subsequent to a DBA does not result in doses in excess of the l guideline values specified in 10 CFR 100. -The radiological l consequences of the DBA are presented in Section 15.6.
- a. Assumed Accident Conditions I
For the purpose of determining the design pressure "f 'f -"~Q requirements for the containment structure and the containment internal structures, the following simul-taneous occurrences are assumed:
- 1. The postulated reactor coolant system pipe rupture, as listed in Table 6.2.1-1, is assumed to be concurrent with the loss of offsite power and the worst single active failure. Ne two pipe breaks are assumed to occur simultaneously ce consecutively.
For design loadings on the systems used to mitigate the consequences of a postulated reactor coolant, system pipe rupture, a safe shutdown earthquake is f"4 assumed.
Rev. OL-0 6.2.1-1 6/86
.. o CALLN/ LAY - SP
- 2. The postulated secondary system pipe rupture, as identified in Section 6.2.1.4, is assumed con-current with the loss of offsite power and the worst single active failure. No two pipe breaks are assumed to occur simultaneously or consecutively.
- 3. The postulated inadvertent operation of a contain- l ment heat removal system is considered a low I probability event and is not considered to be concurrent with any other event.
i The calculated maximum containment structure internal and !
external pressures are listed in Table 6.2.1-2. These calcu- '
lated pressures are based on the conservative analyses described
,,j in Section 6.2.1.1.3 and demonstrate that a substantial margin exists (approximately 20 percent on internal pressure and 10 l percent on external pressure) between the calculated maximum pressure and the design pressures.
- . The calculated maximum pressures on the containment internal r 1
- C~ structures (e.g. primary and secondary shield walls) are listed i n in Table 6.2.1-2. These pressures are based on the conservative analyses described in Section 6:2.1.2. The loads on the internal structures are calculated using the differentials-between the maximum calculated subcompartment pressures and 14.7 psia, the pressure of the containment atmosphere at the time of peak subcompartment pressure.
- b. Sources and Amounts of Mass and Energy Released The sources and amounts of mass and energy released for the postulated reactor coolant system pipe rup-tures and secondary system pipe ruptures are discussed in Sections 6.2.1.3 and 6.2.1.4, respectively.
- c. Effects of the ESFs as Heat Removal Systems The effects of the ECCS as an energy removal system are discussed in the determination of the mass and
', 71 energy release data provided in Section 6.2.1.3. The l only additional effect of this system considered is the long-term heat removal capability of the residual heat removal heat exchangers. In performing the containment design evaluation in Section 6.2.1.1.3, j single failures of the ECCS are assumed to be con-sistent with the mass and energy release data assump-
.,e tions for the break analyzed. '

( mass and energy release data assumptions for each break analyzed. The total heat removed by each of the containment heat removal systems up to the time of the calculated peak containment pressure is listed in Table 6.2.1-8. The design bases of the containment heat removal systems are discussed in Section 6.2.2.
The functional performance of the containment and the ECCS also rely upon the operation of the containment isolation system, as described in Section 6.2.4.
Required isolation operations are assumed for purposes of the containment design evaluation in Section "N 6.2.1.1.3.
- d. Parameters Affecting Capability for Post-Accident Pressure Reduction The principal parameters which affect post-accident pressure reduction are 1) the heat absorbed by the heat sinks inside the containment, 2) the heat removed by the containment air coolers, and 3) the heat transferred to the containment, sump by the containment spray system.
A conservative amount of heat sink material has been calculated, and its heat absorption capability has been considered in the containment design evaluation C- in Section 6.2.1.1.3. The parameters describing the heat sinks credited with heat absorption are provided in Table 6.2.1-4.
The pressure reduction capability of the containment air coolers and the containment spray systea consider .
the parameters provided in Table 6.2.1-3. The assumed start time of these active heat removal systems considers a diesel start time of 12 seconds, load sequencing times, and the maximum startup time of the l systems.

- e. Parameters Affecting Heat Removal from the Containment Heat is transferred f t ;m the containment to the outside environment Tia the fan coolers and residual heat removal heat exchangers through the component cooling water and essential service water systems and released to the ultimate heat sink. A small amount of I heat is also transferred through the containment wall and dome to the outside atmosphere.
'1 d The component cooling, water system is described in Section 9.2.2, the essential service water system is described in Section 9.2.1, and the ultimate heat sink is described in Section 9.2.5.
.lu Single failures in systems which remove energy from l' c, the containment are considered to be consistent with M the single failures assumed in the development of the mass and energy release data. The energy removal capability of the containment air coolers, the
~
containment spray system, and the residual heac removal system consider the parameters provided in Table 6.2.1-3. The long-term energy inventories and total heat transferred to the various containment heat removal mechanisms, as a function of time, are diagrammed in Figures 6.2.1-25 and 6.2.1-26 for the double-ended pump suction guillotine (DEPSG) break with minimum safety injection and DEPSG break with maximum safety injection cases, respectively.

The initial containment conditions were selected based on the range of the normal expected conditions within the containment with consideration given to maximizing the calculated peak. containment pressure. Parametric studies have been performed to uetermine the effects of varying these initial containment conditions (Ref.

As discussed in Soction 6.2.2.1, the containment spray l system can only ba~ actuated in two ways, either i automatically upon receipt of two-out-of-four contain-ment high pressure signals or manually from the control room.
w Section 7.3.8 discusses the engineered safety l features actuation system and demonstrates that the }~
system design precludes a single active or passive failure from inadvertently actuating the containment spray system. Manual actuation of the containment ,
spray system can only be accomplished by the reactor ;
operator deliberately switching on.two switches on the main control board. The main control board is designed with physical separation of these switches to prevent accidental actuation of the spray system.
Thus, inadvertent actuation of the sprays is precluded by design, and only a deliberate actuation l of the containment spray system could result in the !
i reactor building being sprayed. s Although precluded by design, inadvertent actuation of ;
the containment spray system has been assumed, and the i resultant reduction in the containment pressure has .
been calculated. The postulated inadvertent actuation of the containment spray system is assumed, concurrent .

However, no consistent set of realistic conditions can categorically be selected as the worst case initial condition to be used in the containment pressure analysis. These assumed initial conditions are defined as limiting in that these conditions 1) represent the largest differences in the containment ambient temperature and the RWST tempera-ture and 2) the 100-percent humidity case maximizes the amount of mass transferred out of the containment atmosphere.
F Using Henry's law of partial pressures and the Ideal
")"5 .. Gas Law and assuming that the inadvertent operation of the containment spray system will reduce the contain-ment vapor temperature to coincide with that of the RWST water being sprayed, the maximum reduction in the containment pressure is provided in Table 6.2.1-2.
The containment design external pressure load is provided in Table 6.2.1-2, and shows a minimum of 10-percent margin above the maximum reduction in the containment pressure calculated by the above-described method. Thus, corrective action by the operator is
~ not required to ensure that containment integrity is maintained.
The control room operator will be notified that the containment spray system is operating through the following means:
- 1. The containment spray actuation annunciator light will be on, and an audible alert alarm will be sounded.

6.2.1.2.1 Design Basis Subcompartments within the containment, principally the reactor cavity,_the steam generator loop compartments, and the pres-surizer compartment, are designed to withstand the transient differential pressures and jet impingement forces of a postu-lated pipe break. Venting of these chambers maintains the differential pressures within the structural limits. In addition, restraints on the reactor coolant pipes, reactor vessel,-steam generators, etc., are. designed so that neither pipe whip nor vessel upset forces threaten the integrity of the '
subcompartments or of the ;ontainment structure.
\'
Analysis of the pressure transients in the steam generator l compartment and pressurizer compartment has been performed to verify the adequacy of the structural design of these structures under accident conditions. The following is a synopsis of the pipe breaks analyzed:

- 2. Steam Generator Loop Compartments The steam generator loop compartment is subjected to double-ended breaks of the pump suction line, the cold leg, the hot leg, a longitudinal split of the hot leg, and double-ended branch line breaks.
'All double-ended breaks are mechanically restrained so that the largest breaks in the hot leg, cold leg, and pump suction are 763 in.2, 236 in.', and 436 in.', respectively. These three breaks envelope all postulated breaks within the steam generator loop compartment. These breaks were analyzed, using the same 59-node model, to determine the ')
maximum pressures on the walls of the compartment and on the enclosed equipment, i.e., the steam generator, the reactor coolant pump, and the pressurizer. The blowdown data for the three breaks are given in Tables 6.2.1-13 through 6.2.1-15. The nodalization model for the analyses is given in Figures 6.2.1-43 through 6.2.1-55.
Only breaks in loop 4 were analyzed, since this loop has the smallest vent area directly to the remainder of the containment due to the presence of the pressurizer, and thus results in the L highest pressures.
To ensure conservative design of the loop compart-ment walls and the equipment supports, the loads calculated for loop 4 were applied to the other three steam generator loop compartments by appro-priate translation and rotation of the force vector axes. The volumes of the subcompartments, as well as the initial conditions prior to the transient, are given in Table 6.2.1-22.
As with the reactor cavity analysis, the node boundaries were selected wherever significant
-restrictions to flow occurred. A sensitivity study was performed in which the number of nodes s in the steam generator compar~c ment was varied.
)
The resulting forces on the. compartment walls and on the equipment in all cases were less than the forces calculated with the 59-node model. There-fore, it was assumed that the nodalization employed in the original model was both adequate and l

) columns, pumps, tanks, grating, and the steam generators, were considered in the calculation of the subcompartment volumes and vent areas. In addition, the values for volume were reduced by 5 percent to allow for minor obstructions, such as cable trays, supports, and various piping. The principal obstructions within the steam generator loop compartments were the reactor coolant pumps and the steam generatore. Flow through the reactor cavity was neglected. The flow coeffi-l cients associated with the flow paths were calcu-lated in the same manner as for the reactor

The fluid flow from one subcompartment to another was calculated, using the homogeneous frozen flow option in the analysis. The peak pressures for I each subcompartment are listed in Table 6.2.1-22.
The complete pressure histories for those subcom-partments near the break for each of the three break cases analyzed are shown in Figures 6.2.1-56, 6.2.1-57, 6.2.1-61, and 6.2.1-69. When the I
)/ subcompartment pressures were applied to their projected areas on the steam generator and the ;
reactor coolant pump, the forces were determined on these pieces of equipment. The forces on the reactor coolant pump and the steam generator are shown in Figures 6.2.1-58, 6.2.1-59, 6.2.1-62 through 6.2.1-67, and 6.2.1-70 through 6.2.1-74.

, 6.2.1.3 Mass and Energy Release Analyses for Postulated Loss-of-Coolant Accidents The containment system receives mass and energy releases !
following a postulated rupture of the reactor coolant system ' '
l (RCS). These releases continue through blowdown and post-blowdown. The release rates are calculated for pipe failure at 1 three distinct locations: 1) hot leg, 2) pump suction, and 3) i cold legs. Because of the pressure in the RCS before the !
postulated rupture, the mass and energy flows rapidly from the RCS to the containment. As the water exits from the rupture, a portion of it flashes into steam due to the pressure and temperature in the containment, compared to the pressure and d" temperature of the RCS. The blowdown reduces the pressure in y.; the RCS. .
1 During the reflood phase, these breaks have the following l different characteristics. For a cold leg pipe break, all of l the fluid which leaves the core must vent through a steam '
generator and becomes superheated. However, relative to breaks 1 at other locations, the core flooding rate (and, there fore, the i rate of fluid leaving the core) for cold leg breaks is low :
because-all the core vent paths include the resistance of the {
reactor coolant pump. For a hot leg pipe break, the vent path j resistance is relatively low, which results in a high core 1 flooding rate, but the majority of the fluid which exits the I) core bypasses the steam generators in venting to the contain-
\f ment. The pump suction break combines the effects of the '
relatively high core flooding rate, as in the hot leg break, l and steam generator heat addition, as in the cold leg break. I As a result, the pump suction break yields the highest energy flow rates during the post-blowdown period. The spectrum of breaks analyzed includes the largest cold and hot leg breaks, reactor inlet and outlet / respectively, and a range of pump suction breaks from the largest to a 3.0 ft 2 break.
Because of the phenomena of reflood, as discussed above, the pump suction break location is the limiting case, with the
. double-ended pump suction break being the most limiting. This
\** conclusion is supported by studies of smaller hot leg breaks which have been shown on similar plants to be less severe than the double-ended hot leg. Cold leg breaks, however, are lower both in the blowdown peak and in the reflood pressure rise.
Thus, an analysis of smaller pump suction breaks is representa-tive of the spectrum of break sizes.
The LOCA analysis calculational model is typically divided into three phases, which are: 1) blowdown, which includes the period from accident occurrence (when the reactor is at steady state full power operation) to the time when zero break flow is first calculated, 2) refill, which is from the end of blowdown to the time the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) fills the vessel l

two-phase mass and energy releases become avail-able due to the energy within the steam generators, as the containment depressurizes to atmospheric conditions.
- 2. Depressurization (Two-Phase Mixture)
I Tables 6.2.1-41 and 6.2.1-42 show the available I depressurization energy of the steam generators above atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia).
This energy is brought out in two stages. .In the first, the sources above are brought into equili-l ) brium with_the actual containment pressure. The (3}) rate for this phase is set by the froth calcula-tion models. In the second, the sources give up additional energy as the containment pressure decreases. The rate.for this stage is set by the l containment depressurization rate.

release rates to the containment (3,600 seconds l for normal dry containment). First, a containment
\/ pressure calculation was performed, neglecting the depressurization energy release. For this case, the containment will depressurize faster and, l hence, a conservative depressurization time is I calculated. The second containment pressure l calculation is made, utilizing depressurization time with the procedure for calculating depres-
! surization mass and energy release rates described in this section.
The steam generator depressurization mass and energy release rate from the broken and intact loops were calculated and added to the initial '
mass and energy releases, which were based on a )
containment back pressure of 60.0 psig, described l l below. I

reference containment pressure and the actual containment pressure divided by the reference value. The rate of addition to the containment is 90.0 lb/sec at 1,034 seconds. This cools the steam generator and metal at 37,576 Btu /sec.
Thus, the duration of the extension of the post-reflood table is the fraction times the available energy divided by the rate of cooling. This was not extended beyond recirculation because the continued condensation effect is-implicit in these numbers and should change after recirculation.

3 , CALLAWAY - SP 6.2.1.4.1.1 Plant Power Level Steam line breaks can be postulated to occur with the plant in any operating condition ranging from hot standby to full power.
Since steam generator mass decreases with increasing power level, breaks occurring at lower power will generally result in a greater total mass release to the plant containment. However, because of increased energy storage in the primary plant, increased heat transfer in the steam generators, and the additional energy generation in the nuclear fuel, the energy release to the containment from breaks postulated to occur during power operation may be greater than for breaks occurring with the plant in a hot standby condition. Additionally, steam pressure and the dynamic conditions in the steam generators s change with increasing power and have significant influence on both the rate of blowdown and the amount of moisture entrained
.n the fluid leaving the break following a steambreak event.
Because of the opposing effects of changing power level on steam line break releases, no single power level can be singled out as a worst case initial condition for a steam line breuk event. Therefore, several different power levels spanning the operating range as well as the hot standby condition have been analyzed.
6.2.1.4.1.2 Main Feedwater System Design t
The rapid depressurization which occurs following a rupture may result in large amounts of water being added to the steam generators through the main feedwater system. Rapid closing isolation valves are provided in the main feedwater lines to limit this effect. Also, the piping layout downstream of the isolation valves affects the volume in the feedwater lines that cannot be isolated from the steam generators. As the steam generator pressure decreases, some of the fluid in this volume will flash into the steam generator, providing additional secondary fluid which may exit out the rupture.
The feedwater addition which occurs prior to closing of the
- feedwater line isolation valves influences the steam generator blowdown in several ways. First, the rapid addition increases the amount of entrained water in large-break cases by lowering the bulk quality of the steam generator inventory. Secondly, because the water entering the steam generator is subcooled, it lowers the steam pressure, thereby reducing the flow rate out of the break. Finally, the increased flow rate causes an increase in the heat transfer rate from the primary to secondary system, resulting in greater energy being released out the break. Since thece are competing effects on the total mass and energy release, no " worst case" feedwater transient can be f

CALLAWAY - SP defined for all plant conditions. In the results presented, the worst effects of each variable have been used. For example, moisture entrainment for each break is calculated, assuming conservatively small feedwater additions so that the entrained water is minimized. Determination of total steam generator inventory, however, is based on conservatively large feedwater additions, as explained in Section 6.2.1.4.3.2.
The unisolated feedwater line volumes between the steam genera-tor and the isolation valves serve as a source for additional high energy fluid to be discharged through the pipe break.
This volume is accounted for in the mass and energy release data presented in Section 6.2.1.4.3.2.
6.2.1.4.1.3 Auxiliary Feedwater System Design Within the first minute following a steam line break, the auxiliary feed system is initiated on any one of several protection system signals. Addition of auxiliary feedwater to the steam generators increases the secondary mass available for release to the containment, as well as increases the heat transferred to the secondary fluid. The effects on steam generator mass are maximized in the calculation described in Sect!on 6.2.1.4.3.2 by assuming full auxiliary feed flow to the faulted steam generator starting at time zero and continuing until manually stopped by the plant operator.
6.2.1.4.1.4 Postulated Break Type, Size, and Location
- a. Postulated Break Type Two types of postulated pipe ruptures are considered in evaluating steam line breaks. ,
First is a split rupture in which a hole opens at some point on the side of the steam pipe or steam header but does not result in a complete severance of the pipe. A single, distinct break area is fed uniformly by all steam generators until steam line isolation occurs. The blowdown flow rates from the individual ',
steam generators are interdependent, since fluid coupling exists between all steam lines. Because flow limiting orifices are provided in each steam generator, the largest possible split rupture can have an effec-tive area prior to isolation that is no greater than the throat area of the flow restrictor times the number of plant primary coolant loops. Following isolation, the effective break area for the steam generator with the broken line can be no greater than the flow restrictor throat area.
s-
)
Rev. OL-0 6.2.1-30 6/86
"., s, CALLAWAY - SP The second break type is the double-ended guillotine l
rupture.in which the steam pipe is completely severed and the ends of the break displace from each other.
Guillotine ruptures are characterized by two distinct break locations, each of equal area but being fed by different steam generators. The largest possible guillotine rupture can have an effective area per steam generator no greater than the throat area of one steamline flow restrictor.
The type of break influences the mass and energy releases to containment by altering both the nature of the steam blowdown from the piping in the steam plant and the effective break area fed by each steam genera-l (gq tor prior to steam line isolation. For example, a double-ended rupture in a pipe having a cross-sectional area of 2.4 square feet would appear as a 1.4-square-foot rupture to a single steam generator feeding one end of the break, but would appear as a 0.8-square-foot rupture to each of the steam generators feeding the other end of the break.
l b. Postulated size
, Break area is also important when evaluating steam
! line breaks. It controls the rate of releases to the l
l s
)f containment as well as exerts significant influence on the steam pressure decay and the amount of entrained water in the blowdown flow. The data presented in this section include releases for three break areas at l each of five initial power levels. Included are two double-ended and one split rupture, as follows:
l 1. A full double-ended pipe rupture downstream of the
! steam line flow restrictor. For this case, the
! actual break area equals the cross-sectional area
- of the steam line, but the blowdown from the steam l generator with the broken line is controlled by l the flow restrictor throat area (1.4 square feet).
The reverse flow from the intact steam generators l
is controlled by the smaller of the pipe cross l section, the steam stop valve seat area, or the l total flow restrictor throat area in the intact l loops. The reverse flow has been conservatively l assumed to be controlled by the flow restrictors j in each of the intact loop steam generators.
l Actually, the combined flow from the three steam l generators must pass through an 18-inch (1.42
! square feet) line, which would greatly restrict l the flow.

e CALLAWAY - SP
- 2. A small double-ended rupture having an area just ~h larger than the area at which water entrainment '
~/
ceases. Entrainment is assumed in the forward direction only. Dry steam blowdown is assumed to occur.in the reverse direction.
- 3. A split break that represents the largest break which will neither generate a steam line isolation signal from the primary protection equipment nor result in moisture entrainment. Steam and feed-water line isolation signals will be generated by high containment pressure signals for these cases.
Being a split rupture, the effective area seen by the faulted steam generator will increase by a j factor of 4, following steam line isolation. c Conceivably, moisture entrainment could occur at that time. However, since steam line isolation for these breaks will generally not occur before 20-60 seconds, it is conservatively assumed that the pressure has decreased sufficiently in the affected steam generator to preclude any moisture carryover.
- 4. A break representing the largest double-ended rupture for which only dry steam blowdown occurs need not be presented. Studies (Ref. 7) have shown that this break size is typically smaller than the largest split break (no entrainment) for which blowdown for the split rupture will be more severe than the no-entrainment DER at any given power level.
- c. Postulated Break Loc,ation Break location affects steam line blowdowns by virtue of the pressure losses which would occur in the length of piping between the steam generator and the break.
The effect of the pressure loss is to reduce the effective break area seen by the steam generator.
Although this would reduce the rate of blowdown, it i would not significantly change the total release of x>
energy to the containment. Therefore, piping loss effects have been conservatively ignored in all blowdown results, except in the small double-ended ruptures in which moisture entrainment occurs. The effects of pipe friction are conservatively assumed to be sufficiently large in this case to prevent moisture entrainment in the reverse flow, thus minimizing water relief to the containment.

d '- CALLAWAT - SP C 6.2.1.4.1.5 Availability of Offsite Power The effects of the assumption of the availability of offsite power has been enveloped in the analysis. Loss of offsite power has been assumed where it delays the actuation of the containment heat removal systems (i.e., containment sprays and containment air coolers) due to the time required to start the emergency diesel generators. Offsite power has been assumed to be available where it maximizes the mass and energy released from the break due to 1) the continued operation of the reactor coolant pumps which maximizes the energy transferred from the reactor coolant system to the steam generators and 2) continued operation of the feedwater pumps and actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system which maximizes the steam generator inventories x, ' available for release.
6,2.1.4.1.6 Safety System Failures In addition single activetofailures assumingwerea considered:
loss of offsite power, the following
- a. Loss of one emergency diesel
- b. Failure of one main steam isolation valve
- c. Failure of one main feedwater isolation valve
\ / The loss of one diesel results in the loss of one train of each of the containment heat removal systems. As discussed in Section 6.2.1.4.3.3, this is the most severe single active l failure.
The effect of a main steam isolation valve failure is to provide additional fluid which may be released to the con-tainment via the break. This results from the blowdown of all the steam piping between the break location and the isolation valves in the intact loops.
'N The failure of a main feedwater isolation valve will result in additional fluid being released to the containment following a main steam line break. The additional fluid to be released will be the volume between the isolation valve and the feed-water control valve.
6.2.1.4.1.7 Steam Generator Reverse Heat Transfer and Reactor Coolant System Metal Heat Capacity Once steam line isolation is complete, those steam generators in the intact steam loops become sources of energy which can be transferred to the steam generator with the broken line. This energy transfer occurs via the primary coolant. As the primary plant cools, the temperature of the coolant flowing in the 4

to be transferred to the steam generator with the broken steamline.
Similarly, the heat stored in the metal of the reactor coolant piping, the reactor vessel, and the reactor coolant pumps will be transferred to the primary coolant as the plant cooldown progresses. This energy also is available to be transferred to the steam generator with the broken line.

Feedwater isolation for the split breaks was based on the time required to reach the containment pressure setpoint which generates the isolation signal.

6.2.1.4.3.3 Containment Pressure-Temperature Results
. J. c Figures 6.2.1-79 through 6.2.1-82 provide curves of the resul-
\l: tant containment pressure-temperature transients for the cases producing the highest peak containment pressure and temperature.
Table 6.2.1-58 summarizes the results of all the cases analyzed and indicates the times at which dryout occurs and the various containment pressure setpoints are reached. The sequence of events following a postulated main steam line break is listed in Tables 6.2.1-59 and 6.2.1-60 for worst pressure and tempera-ture cases, respectively.
The worst single active failure is the loss of an emergency diesel. This is evident by comparing the results given in Table 6.2.1-58 for case 1, which assumes the loss of an emer-gency diesel, and case 16, which assumes the failure of a main steam isolation valve. Both cases assume a full double-ended rupture at 102-percent power. The failure of the main feed- l water isolation valve was not specifically analyzed. The !
additional fluid which would be released is that contained in l the volume between the main feedwater isolation valve and the l feedwater control valve. This volume is only 50 cubic feet and l would not significantly affect the containment pressure- l temperature response. The loss of an emergency diesel has been assumed for the spectrum of break sizes and power levels analyzed, w As illustrated in Figure 6.2.1-79, case 12, 0.66 ft8 split at l

It is important to note that the peak calculated pressure is coincident with the termination of the auxiliary feedwater flow to the affected steam generator, which was assumed to occur at 1,800 seconds (30 minutes). Actual termination of auxiliary feedwater flow to the affected steam generator due to operator

ment design temperature of 320 F for a short period of time, e The 320 F containment design temperature is the design tempera-ture for safety-related equipment and instrumentation located withir. the containment and not the maximum temperature allowed for the containment atmosphere vapor. l Figure 6.2.1-85 provides plots of surface temperature versus time for various representative materials within the contain-ment. These curves are based on the IEM model discussed in Reference 8, used in conjunction with COPATTA for the case i resulting in the highest material surface temperatures. These figures clearly show that the actual equipment temperatures, s following a postulated secondary' system break, are well below }
their design temperatures and are, in fact, approximated more closely by the containment' vapor saturation temperature.
l Cables _ocated inside the containment are qualified to higher

The' calculated temperature for each type of cable is below the qualification temperature; however, due to the low mass to surface area ratios for cables, the calculated jacket / cable surface temperatures exceed the containment vapor saturation temperature. .

The containment backpressure used for the limiting case j (CD - 0.6) double-ended cold leg guillotine break for the ECCS analysis presented in Section 15.6.5 is presented in Figure I
6.2.1-86. The containment backpressure is calculated, using the methods and assumptions described in Appendix A of Reference 9. Input parameters, including the containment ;
initial conditions, net free containment volume, passive heat sink materials, thicknesses, and surface areas, and starting time and number of centainment cooling systems used in the 3 analysis, are described in the following paragraphs.

blowdown and reflood portions of the limiting break transient are presented in Tables 6.2.1-63 and 6.2.1-64.
The mathematical models shich calculate the mass and energy releases to the containment are described in Section 15.6.5 and conform to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix K, "ECCS Evaluation Models." A break spectrum analysis is performed (see references in Section 15.6.5) that considers various break sizes, break locations, and Moody discharge coefficients for the double-ended cold leg guillotines which do not affect the
'. mass and energy released to the containment. This effect is considered for each case analyzed. During refill, the mass and ;
energy released to the containment is assumed to be zero, which l minimizes the containment pressure. During reflood, the i effect of steam water mixing between the safety injection water and the steam flowing through the reactor coolant system intact loops reduces the available energy released to the co'.tainment vapor spaces and therefore tends to minimize containment pressure.

CALLAWAY - SP 6.2.2 CONTAINMENT EEAT REMOVAL SYSTEMS The functional performance objective of the containment heat removal system, as an engineered safety features system, is to reduce the containment temperature and pressure following a LOCA or rain steam line break (MSLB) accident, by removing thermal energy from the contairment atmosphere. These cooling systems also serve to limit of f site radiation levels by reducing the pressure differential between the containment atmosphere and the external environment, thereby diminishing the driving force for the leakage of fission products from the containment to the environment. The containment heat removal systems include the residual heat removal system discussed in Sections 5.4.7, 6.2.1, and 6.3, the containment spray system
,j (CSS) discussed in Section 6.2.2.1, and the containment 13 cooling system discussed in Section 6.2.2.2.

6.2.2.1.2 System Design 6.2.2.1.2.1 General Description -q The CSS, shown schematically in Figure 6.2.2-1, consists of two separate trains of equal capacity, each independently capable of meeting the design bases. Each train includes a containment spray pump, spray header and nozzles, spray recirculation path, valves, and the necessary piping, instrumentation, flushing connections, and controls.

l f water to the containment spray system. Each train takes suction from separate containment recirculation sumps during l
the~ recirculation phase.
l l The CSS provides a spray of cold'or subcooled borated water from the upper regions of the containment to reduce the l containment pressure and temperature during either a LOCA or MSLB inside the containment.
Each CSS pump discharges into the containment atmosphere through an independent spray header. The spray headers are located in the upper part of the reactor building to allow maximum time for the falling spray droplets to reach thermal equilibrium with the steam-air atmosphere. The condensation of the steam by the falling spray results in a reduction in containment pressure and temperature. Each spray train provides adequate coverage to meet the design requirements with respect to both containment heat removal and iodine removal. Further discussion of the iodine removal function of l the CSS is provided in Section 6.5.2.
In the CSS, only the containment recirculation sumps, the trisodium phosphate baskets, the spray headers, nozzles, and i associated piping and valves are located within the containment. The remainder of the system is located within the auxiliary building, separated from that portion in the containment by motor-operated isolation valves. During the
~5) recirculation phase, leakage outside of the containment will be detected with the auxiliary building radiation indicators and alarms, temperature alarms, and auxiliary building sump alarms. The motor-operated isolation valves in each train assure train isolation capability in the event of leakage during the recirculation phase. Leakage detection within the auxiliary building is discussed in Section 9.3.3.
Following a large break LOCA, the containment spray during the injection phase will be a boric acid solution having a pH of about 4.5. The desired pH level is greater than 7.0 to assure iodine retention in the sumps, to limit corrosion and the associated production of hydrogen, and to limit chloride
, induced stress-corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels. To adjust the sump solution pH into the desired range, a minimum of 9000 pounds of trisodium phosphate dodecahydrate
( Na PO,
- 12 H O e 1/4 NaOH ) is stored in two baskets, one within 3 2 the confines of each containment recirculation sump, which will be submerged after a LOCA. This amount of trisodium phosphate is sufficient to assure that the equilibrium sump solution pH will be greater than or equal to 7.1.
l The baskets are stainless steel with mesh sides and bottoms to permit a large surface to be exposed to the solution, thus maximizing the rate of dissolution into the sump. During the
\"f recirculation phase, the fluid mass released to the containment is screened through a 1/8-inch wire' mesh before Rev. OL-8 6.2.2-3 11/95

c 100-perc nt-rated load at 50 C ambient. Power for theso motors is supplied from the Class IE 4,160-Volt busses.
Power supply availability is discussed in Section 8.3.
The pump motors are specified to have the capability of starting and accelerating the driven equipment, under load, to a design point running speed within 4 seconds, based on 75 percent of the rated motor voltage. The pumps are designed to withstand a thermal transient from 37'F to 300*F occurring in 10 seconds, which exceeds the severity of the transient occurring when pump suction is switched from the RWST to the containment sump.
The shaft seals on the pumps are reliable, easy to maintain.
! and compatible with the fluids to be circulated. They are designed to operate at a temperature of 300 F, which exceeds the maximum temperature to which they will be exposed following an accident.
The containment spray pumps are designed to handle the runout flow associated with the startup transient, when minimal discharge head is applied.
CONTAINMENT SPRAY HEADER AND NOZZLES - Each containment spray header contains 197 hollow cone nozzles, each capable of the design flow and differential pressure given in Table 6.2.2-2.
These nozzles have a 7/16-inch spray orifice. The nozzles produce a drop size distribution, as described in Figure 6.5-2, at system design conditions. Special tests performed on the spray nozzles are discussed in Section 6.5.2.2.2. The spray solution is completely stable and soluble at all temperatures of interest in the containment and, therefore, will not precipitate or otherwise interfere with nozzle performance. The nozzles of each header are oriented to provide greater than 90-p'ercent area coverage at the operating deck of the reactor building. The area coverage at the operating deck (based on the calculated post-LOCA-containment saturation temperature) is provided in Table 6.5-2 for various nozzle orientations. The containment spray envelope reduction factor as a function of post-LOCA containment saturation
~% temperature is provided in Figure 6.5-4. The spray header
(,) design, nozzle spacing, and crientation are shown in Figure 6.2.2-2. The containment spray header and nozzles are designed to withstand the impulse of a water hammer at the commencement of flow.
CONTAINMENT RECIRCULATION SUMPS - The two containment recirculation sumps are collecting reservoirs from which the containment spray pumps and the residual heat removal pumps separ6;ely take suction after the contents of the refueling water storage tank have been expended. The sumps are located as far as feasible from the reactor coolant system piping and
, components which could become sources of debris. Thermal

insulation uced incido containment will not be a significant
,. source of debris. The majority of insulation is NUKON which is discussed in Reference 2. Limited quantities of other types of insulation are used in widely dispersed locations. A
- design basis accident will not degrade a sufficient quantity of this insulation to adversely affect the performance of the sump. A baffle arrangement consisting of grating, coarse screening, and fine screening completely surrounds the sumps to prevent floating debris and high-density particles from entering. The grating is placed as the outermost barrier and is used to keep large debris off the screens. The next barrier is coarse industrial wire mesh screening which has a 1/2-inch maximum opening. The inner barrier is fine industrial wire mesh screening which has a 1/8-inch maximum
) opening. The attachment of the screening to the support structure is designed to keep debris from bypassing the screening. The sump baffle arrangement is shown in Figure 6.2.2-3.
Sources of debris, as indicated above, are physically remote from the recirculation sumps. Debris generated as a result of a LOCA will either be retained in an area such as the reactor cavity or refueling pool or must follow a tortuous path to reach the recirculation sump screens. Therefore, no appreciable debris will reach the recirculation sump screens to cause any significant blockage. In addition, as demonstrated in Figure 6.2.2-3, the recirculation sumps are T covered with concrete pads supporting the accumulator tanks; J thus, debris cannot fall directly upon the screening structure. However, the screens have been sized per Regulatory Guide 1.82, assuming 50-percent blockage, as discussed in Section 6.2.2.1.3, Safety Evaluation Twelve. To limit any possible vortexing, vortex breakers are placed horizontally over each containment recirculation sump at the 2000-foot level and in the suction lines from containment sumps to the containment spray pumps. The suction pipe from the sump is horizontal to limit any possible vortexing and has sufficient submergence to ensure continuous intake flow. The suction lines from the containment sumps to the containment spray pumps are sloped to assure switchover capability. These lines, up to and including the isolation valve, are encased in
_) guard piping.

l containment spray pump discharge is recirculated.
l l On coincidence of two-out-of-four low level signals from the RWST level transmitters, the emergency core cooling system i (ECCS) pumps switch suction to the containment recirculation sump, as described in Section 6.3.2. The low-low-1 level i
setpoint indicates that 104,080 useable gallons remain in the l RWST. Switchover for the spray pumps is manually initiated I when the low-low-2 level in the RWST is reached. The l low-low-2 level indicates imminent depletion of the RWST.
Switchover initiated at the time of the low-low-2 level alarm ensures that the system piping remains full of water and that adequate NPSH for the spray pumps is maintained. The RWST low-low-2 level alarms and level indicators inform the operator of the need to make this switchover.
The time length of the containment spray injection phase is given in Table 6.2.2-4. These times are based on the minimum RWST volume and are given for credible combinations of minimum and maximum containment spray and ECCS operation and runout l flow rates of these pumps. l RECIRCULATION PHASE - The recirculation phase is initiated by l
,f T the operator manually shifting containment spray pump suction from the RWST to the containment recirculation sump. The accident chronology for the containment spray system for the recirculation phase of a LOCA is provided in Table 6.2.2-3.
The RWST suction line valves remain open during the switchover to the recirculation phase to preclude the loss of supply to the containment spray pumps in the highly unlikely event that the isolation valve in the recirculation line is delayed in opening.

l The suction line from the containment recirculation sump to the spray pump is a sloped line which precludes air from entering the system. The single valve in the containment sump recirculation line for the containment spray pump is encapsulated and located outside the containment. The flow paths from the spray pumps are the same as in the injection phase. Check valves are provided in the recirculation sump I suction lines to prevent the establishment of a flow path between the RWST and the containment sump.
Containment spray in the recirculation mode maintains an equilibrium temperature between the containment atmosphere and the recirculation sump water. The length of time that the CSS operates during the recirculation phase is determined by the )
operator. The spray cannot be terminated until completion of the injection phase.
6.2.2.1.3 Safety Evaluation Safety evaluations are numbered to correspond to the safety design basis.
SAFETY EVALUATION ONE - The safety-related portions of the CSS are located in the reactor and auxiliary buildings. These buildings are designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, external missiles, Sections 3.3, 3.4, and other appropriate natural phenoment.
3.5, 3.7 (B) , and 3.8 provide the basis for the adequacy of the structural design of these buildings.
SAFETY EVALUATION TWO - The safety-related portions of the CSS are designed to remain functional after a SSE. Sections 3.7 (B) .2 and 3.9 (B) provide the design loading conditions that were considered. Section.3.6 provides the hazards analysis to assure that the system performs its intended function.
SAFETY EVALUATION THREE - There are two spray system trains with complete redundancy of active components. Each train is capable of providing full design flow and cooling. In the event of the failure of a pump, valve, actuation system, or any other
- . component in one train, the other train would be unaffected. To -;
assure that a single failure will neither initiate a spurious s containment spray nor prevent the activation of a necessary component, the containment spray pumps and containment header valves are actuated by the independent containment spray actuation signal (CSAS). The refueling water storage tank l (RWST) is Rev. OL-8 6.2.2-8 11/95
,,- CALLAWAY - SP common to the two trains and in used only during the injection
'~. phase following a LOCA. Redundant level indication for this tank is provided. No power-operated valve is installed in the common suction header from the RWST so that it is impossible for an active failure to disable both trains during the injection phase. Single failure analysis for the CSS is given in Table 6.2.2-5. l The emergency power supply pump room cooling and control and instrumentation systems serving one train are independent of comparable supporting systems for the other train. All vital power can be supplied from either onsite or offsite power systems, as described in Chapter 8.0. Minimum availability of the CSS is discussed in the Callaway Technical Specifications.
SAFETY EVALUATION FOUR - The CSS was initially tested with the l program given in Chapter 14.0, Functional testing is done in accordance with Section 6.2.2.1.4.
Section 6.6 provides the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI requirements that are appropriate for the CSS.
SAFETY EVALUATION FIVE - Section 3.2 delineates the quality group classification and seismic category applicable to the safety-related portion of this system and supporting systems.
Section 6.2.2.1.2.2 shows that safety-related components meet the design and fabrication codes given in Section 3.2. All the power supplies and the control functions necessary for the safe function of the CSS are Class 1E, as described in Chapters 7.0 and 8.0.
SAFETY EVALUATION SIX - Section 6.2.2.1.2.1 describes provisions made to identify and isolate leakage or malfunction and to isolate the nonsafety-related portions of the system.
SAFETY EVALUATION SEVEN - Sections 6.2.4 and 6.2.6 provide the safety evaluation for the system containment isolation arrangement and testability.
SAFETY EVALUATION EIGHT - As shown by the containment analysis s and the description of the analytical methods,and models given
, ) in Section 6.2.1, the containment spray system, in conjunction s,. / with the emergency core cooling system and the containment fan coolers, is capable of removing sufficient heat energy and subsequent decay heat from the containment atmosphere following the hypothesized LOCA and MSLB inside the containment to maintain the containment pressure below the design pressure. Curves showing sump temperature, heat generation rates, heat removal rates of the containment heat removal systems, and containment total pressure, vapor pressure, and temperature as a function of time for minimum engineered safety features performance are also given in Section 6.2.1.

For the recirculation phase, while the safety injection system pumps are still operating after a LOCA, containment pressure transient analysis in Section 6.2.1 assumes residual heat removal by heat exchangers, as described in Section 5.4.7.
Credit is taken for heat removal from heat exchangers during the recirculation phase based on a tube side inlet temperature equal to the recirculation sump temperature, which is given in Section 6.2.1 as a function of time after the accident.
Each spray header train provides a minimum of 90-percent area coverage at the operating deck, as demonstrated in Figure 6.2.2-4. Area coverage by these spray nozzles varies as a function of saturation temperature. The design basis coverage for the nozzles at various orientations is provided in Table 6.5-2 and is based on the calculated containment saturation temperature. Figure 6.5-4 provides the curve of the containment spray envelope reduction factor to determine the design basis coverage. The minimum of 90-percent area coverage.at the operating dock is used as a layout guide for the location of the spray nozzles on the containment spray headers to assure 100-percent volumetric coverage above the operating floor of the containment. Physical obstructions, such as the containment polar crane, are not considered to
~
impede the spray coverage due to the extreme turbulence created by the hydrogen mixing fans, containment air coolers, j the spray within the containment, and the blowdown resulting from the postulated rupture. Thus, the header layout coupled with the extreme turbulence assures the validity of a
~
one-region model above the operating deck for accident dose calculations (see Chapter 15.0).
Discussion of the volume of containment covered by the sprays is provided in Section 6.5.2.

SAFETY EVALUATION TEN - The borated spray solution is stable l under the anticipated LOCA thermal and radiolytic conditions.
The borated solution is chemically compatible with components I with which it may come into contact. The use of materials
) which react to release hydrogen (principally n. gnesium, zinc, I and aluminum) has been minimized in equipment located inside the containment. An analysis of hydrogen generation following a LOCA is given in Section 6.2.5.
h SAFETY EVALUATION ELEVEN - System piping size and layout will provide adequate NPSH to the containment spray pump during all I anticipated operating conditions, in accordance with '
Regulatory Guide 1.1. In calculating available NPSH, the conservative assumption has been made that the water in the containment sump after a design basis LOCA is a saturated liquid, and no credit has been taken for anticipated subcooling. That is, although NPSH = elevation head + l (containment pressure - liquid vapor pressure) - suction line losses, the (containment pressure - liquid vapor pressure) term has been assumed to be zero. Calculated NPSH exceeds required NPSH by at least 10 percent. The recirculation piping penetrating the containment sumps is nearly horizontal to minimize vortexing. In addition, a vortex breaker is provided in the inlet of the piping from the sump.
In calculating the water level within the reactor building t which contributes to the NPSH available to the containment I spray pumps at the beginning of its recirculation phase, l consideration has been given to the potential mechanisms of water loss within the reactor building. These water loss l mechanisms include water present in the vapor phase, water
- ,) loss to compartments below El. 2,000, water loss above El.
s/ c 2,000, and water loss due to wetted surfaces. Tables 6.2.2-6 and 6.2.2-6a identify each water source which releases water to the reactor building and its associated mass and each potential water loss mechanism and the volume of water not assumed to contribute to the water level within the containment for a large LOCA and a MSLB, respectively. The static head available to contribute to the NPSH of the pump, suction line losses, and the minimum NPSH available are also given in Table I 6.2.2-7. The CSS pump NPSH versus flow is shown in Rev. OL-8 6.2.2-11 11/95
CALLAWAY - SP j' ,-
Figure 6.2.2-5. The reduction in water level dua to potential water loss mechanisms is considered in the calculated NPSH available.
SAFETY EVALUATION TWELVE - Recirculation sump construction provides screening down to 1/8-inch mesh to prevent entrained particles in excess of that size from entering the containment recirculation sump and containment spray system suction piping. Restrictions in the reactor core channels are the minimum restrictions and, therefore, the basis of the mesh opening size.
Since the containment spray pumps are designed to operate with entrained particles up to 1/4 inch in diameter and the minimum constriction size in the spray nozzles is 7/16 inch, this screening is adequate to assure proper system op"erability.
Each screening barrier has supports which are designed to withstand the differential pressure which would exist if the screens were 100 percent clogged. Both the screens and the ,
grating are designed to withstand the differential pressure of 100-percent clogging and sufficient screen area exists to allow over 50-percent clogging both screens without degrading spray pump NPSH. The sump baffle arrangement is shown in Figure 6.2.2-3.
The sump baffle arrangement does not allow flow into the sump below 6 inches above the concrete floor level surrounding the sump. This arrangement leaves ample depth for buildup of )
high-density debris without affecting sump performance.
Additionally, the velocity of recirculated fluids approaching the trash rack will be between 0.01 and 0.08 fps for all modes of operation following a LOCA or MSLB, and thus a low velocity I
settling region for high-density particles is provided. Table t 6.2.2-9 provides flow velocities at several times and l locations for a large LOCA and an MSLB.
Any debris which eludes the baffling, screens, and settling region passes into the sump through the 1/8-inch screen and
, will be drawn into the suction piping for the containment
~
I spray.and residual heat removal systems. Such debris is small ,
enough to pass through any restriction in either system or the \
reactor vessel channels, and will eventually be pumped back l
into the containment.

6.2.2.1.4 Tc:ts and Insp ctions l
Testing and inspection of components of the CSS are discussed I in this section.
Each containment spray pump has a shop test to generate complete performance curves. The test includes verifying total developed head (TDH), efficiency, and brake horsepower '
for various flow rates. An NPSH test for various flow rates 1 was performed on one pump. A shop thermal transient analysis, i from ambient temperature to 350 F in 10 seconds, has been performed on the CSS pump. Results of that analysis assure l that the design is suitable for the switchover from the ;
injection to the recirculation phase.
The screening configuration on the containment recirculation sumps is shop tested to verify that all design requirements are adequately met.
The spray nozzles' design parameters were verified with prototype tests in the vendor's shop. Results of those test are provided in Section 6.5.2.2.2.
PREOPERATIONAL TESTING - Instruments are calibrated prior to system preoperational testing. Alarm functions are checked for operability and limits during preoperational testing. The flow paths and flow capacities of all components are verified d'uring preoperational tests.
The functional test of the ECCS, described in Section 6.3, demonstrates proper transfer to the emergency diesel generator power source in the event of a loss of power. A test signal simulating the containment spray signal is used to demonstrate the operation of the spray system up to the isolation valves on the pump discharge. The isolation valves are closed for the test. These isolation valves are functionally tested i separately. l l
The spray header nozzle performance is verified during the preoperational testing by blowing air through the nozzles and l observing the movement of the te11 tales.
)
The objectives of preoperational testing are to:
- a. Demonstrate that the system is adequate to meet the design pressure and temperature conditions.
Components are tested in conformance with applicable codes.
- b. Deme"* rate that the spray nozzles in the containment spray header are clear of obstructions by passing air through them, utilizing test connections.

OPERATIONAL TESTING - The CSS is designed to permit periodic determination of proper system operability,.as specified in

To assure the structural and leaktight integrity of components, the operability and performance of the active components, and

Subsequent to a DBA within the containment, the containment cooling system provides a means of cooling the containment

atmosphere to reduce pressure and thus reduce the potential for containment leakage of airborne and gasecun radioactivity to the environment.
6.2.2.2.1 Design Bases 6.2.2.2.1.1 Safety Design Bases The CtCS, excluding the system ductwork downstream of the cooler discharge plenum, is safety related and required to function following a DBA to achieve and maintain the plant in )
a safe shutdown condition.
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS ONE - The CtCS is protected from the effects of natural phenomena, such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, or external missiles (GDC-2) .
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS TWO - The CtCS is designed to remain functional after a safe shutdown earthsacke or to perform its intended function following a postu'u* 3 nazard, such as a fire, internal missile, or pipe br.nt (G9C-3 and 4) .
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS THREE - Safety fLnctions can be performed, assuming a single active component failure coincident with the ,
loss of offsite power (GDC-38).
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS FOUR - Active components are capable of being tested during plant operation. Provisions are made to allow for inservice inspection of components at appropriate times specified in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI (GDC-39 and 40-) .
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS FIVE - The CtCS is designed and fabricated to codes consistent with the quality group classification assigned by Regulatory Guide 1.26 and the seismic category assigned by Regulatory Guide 1.29. The power supply and control functions are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.32. p .;
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS SIX - The capability of isolating components, systems, or piping is provided, if required, so that the system's safety function will not be compromised.
This includes the bypassing of the nonsafety-related ductwork portions of the system.
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS SEVEN - The CtCS, in conjunction with the CSS, is capable of removing sufficient heat energy and subsequent decay heat from the containment atmosphere following the LOCA or MSLB accident to maintain the containment pressure

Actual containment fan cooler system parameters are such that those used in the analyses are equal to or more conservative than the actual containment fan cooler system capability.
SAFETY DESIGN BASIS EIGHT - The containment coolers, including the fan / motor combination, will remain operable in the acci-dent environment.
6.2.2.2.1.2 Power Generation Design Bases POWER GENERATION DESIGN BASIS ONE - The containment cooling system, operating in conjunction with the containment heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system described in Section 9.4.6, is designed to limit the ambient containment air tempera-ture during normal plant operation to 120 F with any three of the four containment coolers operating. During normal plant operations, the hydrogen mixing fans are designed to provide sufficient air flow through the steam generator compartments so that a suitable environment for the equipment in the steam generator compartment can be maintained.
6.2.2.2.2 System Description 6.2.2.2.2.1 General Description The containment cooling system provides cooling by recir-culation of the containment air across air-to-water heat exchangers. The bulk of this cooled air is supplied to the lower regions of the steam generator compartments. The re-maining air is supplied to the instrument tunnel and at each level.(operating floor and below) of the containment outside the secondary shield wall. The air supplied to each steam t generator compartment is drawn upwards through the compart-ments by the hydrogen mixing fans and discharged into the
- upper elevations of the containment.
w 6.2.2.2.2.2 Component Description Design parameters for the major components of the containment cooling system are provided in Table 6.2.2-2.
CONTAINMENT COOLER FAN - The containment cooler fans are located vertically in the bottom of the cooler housing. Fans are vaneaxial fans with two-speed motors. The fans and motors are designed for high-speed operation during normal plant
_ operations and for low-speed operation under post-LOCA condi-fJ, t
tions.

CALLAWAY - SP CONTAINMENT COOLER HOUSING / DISCHARGE PLENUM - The containment ~3g cooler housing and discharge plenums are constructed of struc- -J tural steel framework and galvanized steel coverings.
The containment cooler housing, including the section of ductwork containing the fusible link plates, is designed to sustain a differential pressure of 2 psi during pressure transients associated with accident conditions. An analysis which was performed to establish the differential pressure across the cooler housing indicates the maximum differential to be less than 0.1 psi (2.8 in. w.g.) under accident con-ditions. Ductwork was not considered in the analysis since it is designed to separate from the cooler by action of the fus- '
ible link plates. The fusible link plates are steel plates '
i which are hinged to the ductwork and held in a closed position by the fusible links (typical detail is shown in Figure 6.2.2-6).
The plates will employ a release mechanism so that after fusio.n of the links the plates will release from the ductwork.
The fusible links will be designed to release at a temperature of aoproximately 160 F. The open area vacated by the plates exceeds the cross-sectional area of the fan, thus providing an unrestricted flow path.
6.2.2.2.2.3 System Operation NORMAL OPERATION - Normally, each of the four containment coolers are operating to provide containment cooling capa- ]
bilities. Although only three coolers are required to provide the proper cooling (approximately 9.5 x 10 6 Btu /hr), four coolers are operated to maintain proper air flow distribution.
The fans are normally operating at the higher speed and the cooling water flow to the coils on low (normal) flow. The coil heat removal capabilities were designed, assuming a tube fouling factor of 0.002.
Condensate from the fan cooler coils is collected and measured to detect leaks into the containment atmosphere, as discussed in Section 5.2.5.
PLANT SHUTDOWN / REFUELING - The containment coolers may be J i
operated during shutdown / refueling operations to provide s-supplemental air distribution within the containment. The containment cooler fans may be operated at low speed to reduce noise levels within the containment during this mode of opera-tion. The coolers may be operated with the service water to provide supplemental cooling or without service water for supplemental heating by utilizing the motor heat load.
CONTAINMENT INTEGRATED LEAK RATE TESTING - The containment coolers are operated during containment integrated leak rate testing (ILRT) to maintain uniform containment temperature.

1 POSTACCIDENT OPERATION - Following an SIS, the fans are designed l to start automatically in slow speed if not already running.
If running in high (normal) speed, the fans automatically shift to slow speed. Assuming loss of offsite power, the containment cooler fans are started 45 seconds after genera- l tion of the SIS.

cooling coils for each unit is automatically increased from 1,100 gpm to 2,000 gpm upon receipt of a SIS. The fusible link plates open to allow unrestricted flow through the air coolers. Each containment cooler is capable of removing at least 100 x 108 Btu /hr under design post-LOCA conditions.
The coil heat removal capabilities were designed, assuming a ,
tube fouling factor of 0.002.
)
l The fan can be operated from the control room at any time, but I cannot be manually operated at high speed if a containment I high pressure signal is in effect in order to prevent motor overload.
s The postaccident air-distribution system is designed to dis-charge the air from each unit through the opening left by the fusible link plate. The fusible link plates are steel plates which are hinged to the ductwork and held in a closed position by the fusible links. The plates will employ a release mecha-nism, using counterbalance weights to ensure that after fusion of the links the plates will release from the ductwork without l the aid of the fan head and against the pressure differential l established during the pressure transient. The fusible links '
will be designed to release at a temperature of approximately 160 F. The open area vacated by the plates approximately I
() equals the cross-sectional area of the fan, thus providing an unrestricted flow path.
Under design conditions, it is assumed that the existing ductwork is restricted so that all the air is discharged through this opening. Under these conditions, the throw is approximately 100 feet. Thus, the discharge from the units is well beyond their intake regions, preventing any short cir-cuiting. The air streams drop off toward the end of the throw and tend to settle toward the bottom of the containment due to the slightly lower temperatures and the air flow patterns established by the operation of the hydrogen mixing fans.
These expected air flow patterns are shown in Figure 6.2.2-7.
