SDM B 3.1.1 BASES

- APPLICABLE reactivity. As RCS temperature decreases, the severity of an' MSLB SAFETY decreases until the MODE 5 value is reached. The mostlirniting MSLB, ANALYSES with respect to potential fuel damage before a reactor trip occurs, is a (continued) guillotine break of a main steam line inside containment initiated at the end of core life with RCS Tavg equal to 5571F. The positive reactivity addition from the moderator temperature decrease will terminate when the affected SG boils dry, thus terminating RCS heat removal and cooldown. Following the MSLB, a post trip return to power may occur, however, no fuel damage occurs as a result of the post trip return to power, and THERMAL POWER does not violate the Safety Limit (SL) requirement of SL 2.1.1. Although the severity of an MSLB is reduced at lower RCS temperatures, e.g., in MODES 3 and 4, SDM requirements still apply to ensure that the limiting MSLB analyzed at the end of core life with RCS Tayg equal to 5570F remains bounding. In MODES 3 and 4 the required SDM with automatic safety injection (SI) capability blocked below P-11 is greater than the SDM required below P-11 with Si capability unblocked, to'ensure that an MSLB occurring at the analyzed conditions remains bounding, as described in Westinghouse NSAL-02-14 (Ref. 5).

In the boron dilution analysis, the required SDM defines the reactivity difference between an initial subcritical boron concentration and the corresponding critical boron concentration. These values, in conjunction with the configuration of the RCS and the assumed dilution flow rate, directly affect the results of the analysis. This event is most limiting at the beginning of core life, when critical boron concentrations are highest. The SDM must be adequate to allow sufficient time for the BDMS'to detect a flux multiplication greater than its setpoint and initiate valve swapover to prevent inadvertent criticality.

Depending on the system initial conditions and reactivity insertion rate, the uncontrolled rod withdrawal transient is terminated by either a high power level trip or a high pressurizer pressure trip. In all cases, power level, RCS pressure, linear heat rate, and the DNBR do not exceed allowable limits.

The startup of an inactive RCP is'administratively precluded in MODES 1 and 2. In MODE 3, the startup bf an inactive RCP can not result in a "cold water" criticality, even if the maximum difference in temperature exists between the SG and the core.. The maximum positive reactivity addition that can occur due to an inadvertent RCP start is less than half the minimum required SDM. Startup of an idle RCP cannot, therefore, produce a return to power from the hot standby condition.

The ejection of a control rod rapidly adds reactivity to the reactor core, causing both the core power level and heat flux to increase with

.* . corresponding increases in reactor coolant temperatures and pressure.

/7-BASES APPLICABLE The ejection of a rod also produces a time dependent redistribution of SAFETY core power. Depending on initial power level, this accident is terminated ANALYSES by the power range neutron flux - high or low reactor trip setpoint in the (continued) FSAR analyses.

SDM satisfies Criterion 2 of 10CFR50.36(c)(2)(ii). Even though it is not directly observed from the control room, SDM is considered an initial condition process variable because it is periodically monitored to ensure that the unit is operating within the bounds of accident analysis assumptions.

LCO SDM is a core design condition that can be ensured during operation through control rod positioning (control and shutdown banks) and through the soluble boron concentration.

The MSLB (Ref. 2) and the boron dilution (Ref. 3) accidents are the most limiting analyses that establish the SDM value of the LCO. For MSLB accidents, if the LCO is violated, there is a potential to exceed the DNBR limit and to exceed 10 CFR 100, "Reactor Site Criteria," limits (Ref. 4).

For the boron dilution accident, if the LCO is violated, the minimum required time assumed for operator action to terminate dilution may no longer be sufficient. The required SDM limits are specified in the COLR.

APPLICABILITY In MODE 2 with keff < 1.0 and in MODES 3, 4, and 5 the SDM requirements are applicable to provide sufficient negative reactivity to meet the assumptions of the safety analyses discussed above. In MODE 6, the shutdown reactivity requirements are given in LCO 3.9.1, "Boron Concentration." In MODES 1 and 2, SDM is ensured by complying with LCO 3.1.5, "Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits," and LCO 3.1.6, "Control Bank Insertion Limits.'

The Applicability is modified by a Note stating that the transition from MODE 6 to MODE 5 is not permitted while LCO 3.1.1 is not met. This Note specifies an exception to LCO 3.0.4 and prohibits the transition when SDM limits are not met. This Note assures that the initial assumptions of a postulated boron dilution event in MODE 5 are met.

ACTIONS A.1 If the SDM requirements are not met, boration must be initiated promptly.

A Completion Time of 15 minutes is adequate for an operator to correctly align and start the required systems and components. It is assumed that boration will be continued until the SDM requirements are met.

SDM B 3.1.1 BASES ACTIONS _. (continued)

In the determination of the required combination of boration flow rate and boron concentration, there is no unique requirement that must be satisfied. Since it is imperative to raise the boron concentration of the RCS as soon as possible, the borated water source should be a highly concentrated solution, such as that normally found in the boric acid storage tanks, or the refueling water storage tank. The operator should borate with the best source available for the plant conditions.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.1.1.1 REQUIREMENTS In MODES I and 2, SDM is verified by observing that the requirements of LCO 3.1.5 and LCO 3.1.6 are met. In the event that a rod is known to be untrippable, however,'SDM verification must account for the worth of the untrippable rod as well as another rod of maximum worth.

In MODES 2 (with kHrr < 1.0), 3, 4, and 5, the SDM is verified by performing a reactivity balance calculation, considering the listed reactivity effects:

a. RCS boron concentration (may include allowances for boron-10 depletion);
b. Control and shutdown rod position;
c. RCS average temperature;
d. Fuel burnup based on gross thermal energy generation;
e. Xenon concentration;
f. Samarium concentration; and
9. Isothermal temperature coefficient (ITC).

Using the ITC accounts for Doppler reactivity in this calculation because the reactor is subcritical, and the fuel temperature will be changing at the same rate as the RCS.

This allows time for the operator to collect the required data, which includes performing a boron concentration analysis, and complete the calculation.

Section Xl of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B (Ref. 1), requires that a test program be established to ensure that structures, systems, and components will perform satisfactorily in service. All functions necessary to ensure that the specified design conditions are not exceeded during normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences must be tested.

This testing is an integral part of the design, construction, and operation of the plant. Requirements for notification of the NRC, for the purpose of conducting tests and experiments, are specified in 10 CFR 50.59 (Ref. 2).

The key objectives of a test program are to (Ref. 3):

a. Ensure that the facility has been adequately designed;
b. Validate the analytical models used in the design and analysis;
c. Verify the assumptions used to predict unit response;
d. Ensure that installation of equipment in the facility has been accomplished in accordance with the design; and
e. Verify that the operating and emergency procedures are adequate. . -

To accomplish these objectives, testing is performed prior to initial criticality, during startup, during low power operations, during power ascension, at high power, and after each refueling. The PHYSICS TESTS requirements for reload fuel cycles ensure that the operating characteristics of the core are consistent with the design predictions and that the core can be operated as designed. l PHYSICS TESTS procedures are written and approved in accordance

-.with established formats. The procedures include all information necessary to permit a detailed execution of the testing required to ensure that the design intent is met. PHYSICS TESTS are performed in accordance with these procedures and test results are approved prior to continued power escalation and long term power operation.

CALLAWAY PLANT I.- B 3.1.8-1 Revision 5

i in PHYSICS TESTS Exceptions - MODE 2 B 3.1.8 BASES K BACKGROUND The PHYSICS TESTS typically required for reload fuel cycles in (continued) MODE 2 include:

a. Critical Boron Concentration - Control Rods Withdrawn;
b. Critical Boron Concentration - Control Rods Inserted;
c. Control Rod Worth; and
d. Isothermal Temperature Coefficient (ITC).

These and other supplementary tests may be required to calibrate the nuclear instrumentation or to diagnose operational problems. These tests may cause the operating controls and process variables to deviate from their LCO requirements during their performance.

a. The Critical Boron Concentration - Control Rods Withdrawn Test measures the critical boron concentration at hot zero power (HZP). With all rods out, the lead control bank is at or near its fully withdrawn position. HZP is where the core is critical (ken = 1.0),

and the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is at design temperature and pressure for zero power. Performance of this test should not violate any of the referenced LCOs. K

b. The Critical Boron Concentration - Control Rods Inserted Test measures the critical boron concentration at HZP, with a bank having a worth of at least 1% Ak/k at or near its fully inserted position in the core. With the core at HZP and all banks fully withdrawn, the boron concentration of the reactor coolant is gradually lowered in a continuous manner. The selected bank is then inserted to make up for the decreasing boron concentration.

The boron concentration is then measured with the selected bank at or near its fully inserted position. This test may be performed concurrently with the Control Rod Worth Test described below.

Performance of this test could violate LCO 3.1.4, "Rod Group Alignment Limits"; LCO 3.1.5, "Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits";

or LCO 3.1.6, "Control Bank Insertion Limits."

c. The Control Rod Worth Test is used to measure the reactivity worth of selected banks. This test is performed at HZP and has four alternative methods of performance. The first method, the Boron Exchange Method, varies the reactor coolant boron concentration and moves the selected bank in response to the changing boron concentration. The reactivity changes are measured with a reactivity computer. This sequence is continued (continued)

CALLAWAY PLANT B 3.1 .8-2 'Revision 5

PHYSICS TESTS Exceptions - MODE 2 B 3.1.8 BASES BACKGROUND for the remaining selected banks. The second method, the Rod (continued)* Swap Method,- measures the worth of a predetermined reference

  • bank using the Boron Exchange Method above. The reference bank is then nearly fully inserted into the core. The selected bank is then inserted into the core as the reference bank is withdrawn.

The HZP critical conditions are then determined with the selected bank fully inserted into the core. -The worth of the selected bank is inferred, based on the position of the reference bank with respect to the selected bank. This sequence is repeated as necessary for

-the remaining selected banks. The third method, the Boron Endpoint Method, moves the selected bank over its entire length of travel and then varies the reactor coolant boron concentration to achieve HZP criticality again. The difference in boron concentration is the worth of the selected bank. This sequence is repeated for the remaining selected banks. The fourth method, the Dynamic Rod Worth Measurement Method, fully inserts and withdraws the selected bank into the core while measuring reactivity changes with a reactivity computer. Since the reactor is not maintained critical while the selected bank is inserted, the measured reactivity is corrected based on design predictions to obtain the actual measured bank worth. The insertion and withdrawal sequence is repeated for each selected bank to obtain their worths. Performance of this test by any of the four methods could violate LCO 3.1.4, LCO 3.1.5, or LCO 3.1.6.

d. The ITC Test measures the ITC of the reactor. This test is performed at HZP and has two methods of performance. The first method, the Slope Method, varies RCS temperature in a slow and continuous manner. The reactivity change is measured with a reactivity computer as a function of the temperature change. The ITC is the slope of the reactivity versus the temperature plot. The test is repeated by reversing the direction of the temperature change, and the final ITC is the average of the two calculated ITCs. The second method, the Endpoint Method, changes the RCS temperature and measures the reactivity at the beginning and end of the temperature change. The ITC is the total reactivity change divided by the total temperature change. The test is repeated by reversing the direction of the temperature change, and the final ITC is the average of the two calculated ITCs.

Performance of this test could violate LCO 3.4.2, "RCS Minimum Temperature for Criticality."

APPLiCABLE The fuel is protected by LCOs that preserve the initial conditions of the SAFETY- core assumed during the safety analyses. The methods for development ANALYSES of the LCOs that are excepted by this LCO are described in the (continued)

SAFETY The above mentioned PHYSICS TESTS, and other tests that may be ANALYSES required to calibrate nuclear instrumentation or to diagnose operational (continued) problems, may require the operating control or process variables to deviate from their LCO limitations.

The FSAR defines requirements for initial testing of the facility, including PHYSICS TESTS. Section 14.2 summarizes the zero, low power, and power tests. Reload fuel cycle PHYSICS TESTS are performed in accordance with Technical Specification requirements, fuel vendor guidelines, and established industry practices. Although these PHYSICS TESTS are generally accomplished within the limits for all LCOs, conditions may occur when one or more LCOs must be suspended to make completion of PHYSICS TESTS possible or practical. This is acceptable as long as the fuel design criteria are not violated. When one or more of the requirements specified in LCO 3.1.3, "Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC)," LCO 3.1.4, LCO 3.1.5, LCO 3.1.6, and LCO 3.4.2 are suspended for PHYSICS TESTS, the fuel design criteria are preserved as long as the power level is limited to

  • 5% RTP, the reactor coolant lowest operating loop temperature is kept > 541OF, and SDM is within the limits specified in the COLR.

The PHYSICS TESTS include measurement of core nuclear parameters K or the exercise of control components that affect process variables.

Among the process variables involved are MTC and RCS Average Temperature, which represent initial conditions of the unit safety analyses.

Also involved are the movable control components (control and shutdown rods), which are required to shut down the reactor. The limits for these variables are specified for each fuel cycle in the COLR. PHYSICS TESTS meet the criteria for inclusion in the Technical Specifications, since the components and process Variable LCOs suspended during PHYSICS TESTS meet Criteria 1, 2, and 3 of 10CFR50.36(c)(2)(ii).

Reference 6 allows special test exceptions (STEs) to be included as part of the LCO that they affect. It was decided, however, to retain this STE as a separate LCO because it was less cumbersome and provided additional clarity.

LCO This LCO allows the reactor parameters of MTC and minimum temperature for criticality to be outside their specified limits. In addition, it allows selected control and shutdown rods to be positioned outside of their specified alignment and insertion limits. One Power Range Neutron Flux channel may be bypassed, reducing the number of required channels from 4 to 3. Operation beyond specified limits is permitted for (continued)

The requirements of LCO 3.1.3, LCO 3.1.4, LCO 3.1.5, LCO 3.1.6, and LCO 3.4.2 may be suspended and the number of required channels for LCO 3.3.1, "RTS Instrumentation," Functions 2, 3, 6, and 18.e, may be reduced to 3 required channels during the performance of PHYSICS TESTS provided:

a. RCS lowest operating loop average temperature is 2 541OF;
b. SDM is within the limits specified in the COLR; and
c. THERMAL POWER is < 5% RTP.

APPLICABILITY This LCO is applicable in MODE 2 when performing low power PHYSICS TESTS. The applicable PHYSICS TESTS are performed in MODE 2 at HZP.

ACTIONS A.1 and A.2 If the SDM requirement is not met, boration must be initiated promptly. A Completion Time of 15 minutes is adequate for an operator to correctly align and start the required systems and components. The operator should begin boration with the best source available for the plant conditions. Boration will be continued until SDM is within limit.

Suspension of PHYSICS TESTS exceptions requires restoration of each of the applicable LCOs to within specification.

B.1 When THERMAL POWER is > 5% RTP, the only acceptable action is to open the reactor trip breakers (RTBs) to prevent operation of the reactor beyond its design limits. Immediately opening the RTBs will shut down the reactor and prevent operation of the reactor outside of its design limits.

C.1 When the RCS lowest operating loop Tame is < 5410F, the appropriate

Completion Time of 15 minutes provides time for restoring Tasg to within limits without allowing the plant to remain in an unacceptable condition for an extended period of time. Operation with the reactor critical and with an operating loop's temperature below 541'F could violate the assumptions for accidents analyzed in the safety analyses.

D.I If the Required Actions cannot be completed within the associated Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the requirement does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within an additional 15 minutes. The Completion Time of 15 additional minutes is reasonable, based on operating experience, for reaching MODE 3 in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.1.8.1 REQUIREMENTS The required power range and intermediate range channels must be OPERABLE in MODE 2 by LCO 3.3.1, "Reactor Trip System (RTS)

Instrumentation." A CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST is performed on each OPERABLE power range and intermediate range channel prior to initiation of the PHYSICS TESTS. This will ensure that the RTS is properly aligned to provide the required degree of core protection during the performance of the PHYSICS TESTS.

SR 3.1.8.2 Verification that the RCS lowest operating loop Tayg is 2 541°F will ensure that the unit is not operating in a condition that could invalidate the safety analyses. Verification of the RCS temperature at a Frequency of 30 minutes during the performance of the PHYSICS TESTS will ensure that the initial conditions of the safety analyses are not violated.

During PHYSICS TESTS in which the requirements of LCO 3.1.4, LCO 3.1.5, or LCO 3.1.6 are not met, the SDM is verified by performing a reactivity balance calculation, considering the following reactivity effects:

a. RCS boron concentration (may include allowances for boron-10 depletion);
b. Control and shutdown rod position;
c. RCS average temperature;
d. Fuel bumup based on gross thermal energy generation;
e. Xenon concentration;
f. Samarium concentration; and

RTS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES BACKGROUND Signal Process Control and Protection System (continued)

Generally, three or four channels of process control equipment are used for the signal processing of unit parameters measured by the field instruments. The process control equipment provides signal conditioning, comparable output signals for instruments located on the main control board, and comparison of measured input signals with setpoints established by safety analyses. If the measured value of a unit parameter exceeds the predetermined setpoint, an output from a bistable is forwarded to the SSPS for decision evaluation. Channel separation is maintained up to and through the input bays. However, not all unit parameters require four channels of sensor measurement and signal processing. Some unit parameters provide input only to the SSPS, while others provide input to the SSPS, the main control board, the unit computer, and one or more control systems.

Generally, if a parameter is used only for input to the protection circuits, three channels with a two-out-of-three logic are sufficient to provide the required reliability and redundancy. If one channel fails in a direction that would not result in a partial Function trip, the Function is still OPERABLE with a two-out-of-two logic. If one channel fails, such that a partial Function trip occurs, a trip will not occur and the Function is still OPERABLE with a one-out-of-two logic.

Generally, if a parameter is used for input to the SSPS and a control function, four channels with a two-out-of-four logic are sufficient to provide the required reliability and redundancy. The circuit must be able to withstand both an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the protection function actuation. Again, a single failure will neither cause nor prevent the protection function actuation.

These requirements are described in IEEE-279-1971 (Ref. 3). The actual number of channels required for each unit parameter is specified in Reference 1.

Two logic channels are required to ensure no single random failure of a logic channel will disable the RTS. The logic channels are designed such that testing required while the reactor is at power may be accomplished without causing trip.

In RTS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES BACKGROUND Trip Setpoints and Allowable Values (continued)

The Trip Setpoints are the nominal values at which the bistables are set.

Any bistable is considered to be properly adjusted when the "as left" value is within the two-sided tolerance band for calibration accuracy (typically 15 mV).

The Trip Setpoints listed in Table B 3.3.1-1 and used in the bistables are based on the analytical limits stated in Reference 2. The selection of these Trip Setpoints is such that adequate protection is provided when all sensor and processing time delays are taken into account. To allow for calibration tolerances, instrumentation uncertainties, instrument drift, and severe environment errors for those RTS channels that must function in harsh environments as defined by 10 CFR 50.49 (Ref. 4), the Allowable Values specified in Table 3.3.1-1 in the accompanying LCO are conservatively adjusted with respect to the analytical limits. A detailed description of the methodology used to calculate the Trip Setpoints, including their explicit uncertainties, is provided in Reference 6. The actual nominal Trip Setpoint entered into the bistable is more conservative than that specified by the Allowable Value to account for changes in random measurement errors detectable by a COT. One example of such a change in measurement error is drift during the surveillance interval. If the measured setpoint does not exceed the Allowable Value, the bistable is considered OPERABLE.

Setpoints in accordance with the Allowable Value ensure that design limits are not violated during ACOs (and that the consequences of DBAs will be acceptable, providing the unit is operated from within the LCOs at the onset of the AOO or DBA and the equipment functions as designed).

Note that in the accompanying LCO 3.3.1, the Allowable Values of Table 3.3.1-1 are the LSSS.

Each channel of the process control equipment can be tested on line to verify that the signal or setpoint accuracy is within the specified allowance requirements. Once a designated channel is taken out of service for testing, a simulated signal is injected in place of the field instrument signal. The process equipment for the channel in test is then tested, verified, and calibrated. SRs for the channels are specified in the SRs section.

The Allowable Values listed in Table 3.3.1-1 are based on the methodology described in Reference 6, and reviewed in support of Amendments 15, 43, 57, 84, 102, and 125, which incorporates all of the known uncertainties applicable for each channel. The magnitudes of these uncertainties are factored into the determination of each Trip Setpoint. All field sensors and signal processing equipment for these (continued)

CALLAWAY PLANT B 3.3.1-4 Revision 5

RTS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES BACKGROUND Trip Setpoints and Allowable Values (continued) channels are assumed to operate within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes.

Solid State Protection System The SSPS equipment is used for the decision logic processing of outputs from the signal processing equipment bistables. To meet the redundancy requirements, two trains of SSPS, each performing the same functions, are provided. If one train is taken out of service for maintenance or test purposes, the second train will provide reactor trip and/or ESF actuation for the unit. If both trains are taken out of service or placed in test, a reactor trip will result. Each train is packaged in its own cabinet for physical and electrical separation to satisfy separation and independence requirements. The system has been designed to trip in the event of a loss of power, directing the unit to a safe shutdown condition.

The SSPS performs the decision logic for actuating a reactor trip or ESF actuation, generates the electrical output signal that will initiate the required trip or actuation, and provides the status, permissive, and annunciator output signals to the main control room of the unit.

The bistable outputs from the signal processing equipment are sensed by the SSPS equipment and combined into logic matrices that represent combinations indicative of various unit upset and accident transients. If a required logic matrix combination is completed, the system Will initiate a reactor trip or send actuation signals via master and slave relays to those components whose aggregate Function best serves to alleviate the condition and restore the unit to a safe condition. Examples are given in the Applicable Safety Analyses, LCO, and Applicability sections of this Bases.

Reactor Trip Switchaear The RTBs are in the electrical power supply line from the control rod drive motor generator set power supply to the CRDMs. Opening of the RTBs interrupts power to the CRDMs, which allows the shutdown rods and control rods to fall into the core by gravity. Each RTB is equipped with a bypass breaker-to allow testing of the RTB while the unit is at power.

During normal operation the output from the SSPS is a voltage signal that energizes the undervoltage coils in the RTBs and bypass breakers, if in use. When the required logic matrix combination is completed, the SSPS (continued)

CALLAWAY PLANT . i -- , B 3.3.1-5 -Revision 5

RTS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES (continued)

BACKGROUND Reactor Trip Switchaear (continued) output voltage signal is removed, the undervoltage coils are de-energized, the breaker trip lever is actuated by the de-energized undervoltage coil, and the RTBs and bypass breakers are tripped open. This allows the shutdown rods and control rods to fall into the core. In addition to the de-energization of the undervoltage coils, each reactor trip breaker is also equipped with an automatic shunt trip device that is energized to trip the breaker open upon receipt of a reactor trip signal from the SSPS. Either the undervoltage coil or the shunt trip mechanism is sufficient by itself, thus providing a diverse trip mechanism.

The decision logic matrix Functions are described in the functional diagrams included in Reference 1. In addition to the reactor trip or ESF, these diagrams also describe the various "permissive interlocks" that are associated with unit conditions.

Each train has a built in testing device that can test the decision logic matrix Functions and the actuation devices while the unit is at power.

When any one train is taken out of service for testing, the other train is capable of providing unit monitoring and protection until the testing has been completed. The testing device is semiautomatic to minimize testing time.

APPLICABLE The RTS functions to maintain the applicable Safety Limits during all SAFETY ACOs and mitigates the consequences of DBAs in all MODES in which ANALYSES, the Rod Control System is capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods LCO, AND are not fully inserted.

APPLICABILITY Each of the analyzed accidents and transients can be detected by one or more RTS Functions. The accident analysis described in Reference 2 takes credit for most RTS trip Functions. RTS trip Functions not specifically credited in the accident analysis are qualitatively credited in the safety analysis and the NRC staff approved licensing basis for the unit. These RTS trip Functions may provide protection for conditions that do not require dynamic transient analysis to demonstrate Function performance. They may also serve as backups to RTS trip Functions that were credited in the accident analysis.

The LCO requires all instrumentation performing an RTS Function, listed in Table 3.3.1-1 in the accompanying LCO, to be OPERABLE. Failure of any instrument renders the affected channel(s) inoperable and reduces the reliability of the affected Functions.

(continued)

CALLAWAY PLANT B 3.3.1-6 Revision 5

RTS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES APPLICABLE The LCO generally requires OPERABILITY of three-or four channels in SAFETY each instrumentation Function, two channels of Manual Reactor Trip in ANALYSES, each logic Function, and two trains in each Automatic Trip Logic Function.

LCO, AND Four OPERABLE instrumentation channels in a two-out-of-four APPLICABITLITY configuration are required when one RTS channel is also used as a (continued) control system input. This configuration accounts for the possibility of the shared channel failing in such a manner that it creates a transient that requires RTS action. In this case, the RTS will still provide protection, even with a random failure of one of the other three protection channels.

Three operable instrumentation channels in a two-out-of-three configuration are generally required when there is no potential for control system and protection system interaction that could simultaneously create a need for RTS trip and disable one RTS channel. The two-out-of-three

' and two-out-of-four configurations allow one channel to be tripped during maintenance or testing without causing a reactor trip. In cases where an

'inoperable channel is placed in the tripped condition indefinitely to satisfy the Required Action of an LCO, the logic configurations are reduced to one-out-of-two and one-out-of-three where tripping of an additional channel, for any reason, would result in a reactor trip. To allow for surveillance testing or setpoint adjustment of other channels while in this condition, several Required Actions allow the inoperable channel to be bypassed. Bypassing the inoperable channel creates a two-out-of-two or two-out-of-three logic configuration allowing a channel to be tripped for testing without causing a reactor trip. Specific exceptions to the above general philosophy exist and are discussed below.

Reactor Trip Svstem Functions The safety analyses and OPERABILITY requirements applicable to each RTS Function are discussed below:

-1. Manual Reactor Trip The Manual Reactor Trip ensures that the control room operator can initiate a'reactor trip at any time by using either of two reactor trip switches in the control room. A Manual Reactor Trip accomplishes the same results as any one of the automatic trip Functions. It is used by the reactor operator to shut down the reactor whenever any parameter is rapidly trending toward its Trip Setpoint.

The LCO requires two Manual Reactor Trip channels to be OPERABLE. Each channel is controlled by a manual reactor trip switch. Each channel activates the reactor trip breaker in both trains. Two independent channels are required to be OPERABLE (continued)

CALLAWAY PLANT B 3.3.1-7 Revision 5

RTS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES APPLICABLE Manual Reactor Trip (continued)

SAFETY ANALYSES, so that no single random failure will disable the Manual Reactor LCO, AND Trip Function.

APPLICABILITY In MODE 1 or 2, manual initiation of a reactor trip must be OPERABLE. These are the MODES in which the shutdown rods and/or control rods are partially or fully withdrawn from the core.

In MODE 3, 4, or 5, the manual initiation Function must also be OPERABLE if one or more shutdown rods or control rods are withdrawn or the Rod Control System is capable of withdrawing the shutdown rods or the control rods. In this condition, inadvertent control rod withdrawal (automatic rod withdrawal is no longer available) is possible. In MODE 3, 4, or 5, manual initiation of a reactor trip does not have to be OPERABLE if the Rod Control System is not capable of withdrawing the shutdown rods or control rods and if all rods are fully inserted. If the rods cannot be withdrawn from the core and all of the rods are fully inserted, there is no need to be able to trip the reactor. In MODE 6, neither the shutdown rods nor the control rods are permitted to be withdrawn and the CRDMs are disconnected from the control rods and shutdown rods. Therefore, the manual initiation Function is not required.

2. Power Range Neutron Flux The NIS power range detectors are located external to the reactor vessel and measure neutrons leaking from the core. The NIS power range detectors provide input to the Rod Control System and the Steam Generator (SG) Water Level Control System.

Therefore, the actuation logic must be able to withstand an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the protection function actuation. Note that this Function also provides a signal to prevent rod withdrawal prior to initiating a reactor trip. Limiting further rod withdrawal may terminate the transient and eliminate the need to trip the reactor.

a. Power Range Neutron Flux - High The Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip Function ensures that protection is provided, from all power levels, against a positive reactivity excursion leading to DNB during power operations and will prevent fuel melting, providing protection for the safety limit on linear heat rate.

APPLICABILITY The LCO requires all four of the Power Range Neutron Flux - High channels to be OPERABLE (two-out-of-four trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is*< 109% RTP.

In MODE I or 2, when a positive reactivity excursion could occur; the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip must be OPERABLE. This Function will terminate the reactivity excursion and shut down the reactor prior to reaching a power level that could damage the fuel. In MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6, the NIS power range detectors cannot detect neutron

.,levels. In these MODES, the Power Range Neutron Flux -

High does not have to be OPERABLE because the reactor is shut down and reactivity excursions into the power range are extremely unlikely. Other RTS Functions and

-administrative controls provide protection against reactivity additions when in MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6.

b. Power Range Neutron Flux - Low The LCO requirement for the Power Range Neutron Flux -

Low trip Function ensures that protection is provided against a positive reactivity excursion from low power or subcritical conditions.

The LCO requires all four of the Power Range Neutron Flux - Low channels to be OPERABLE (two-out-of-four trip

-logic). The Trip Setpoint is

-In MODE 1,-below the Power Range Neutron Flux (P-10 setpoint), and in MODE 2, the Power Range Neutron Flux -

3. Power Range Neutron Flux Rate The Power Range Neutron Flux Rate trip uses the same channels as discussed for Function 2 above.

Power Range Neutron Flux - High Positive Rate The Power Range Neutron Flux - High Positive Rate trip Function ensures that protection is provided against rapid increases in neutron flux that are characteristic of an RCCA drive rod housing rupture and the accompanying ejection of the RCCA. This Function compliments the Power Range Neutron Flux - High and Low Setpoint trip Functions to ensure that the criteria are met for a rod ejection from the power range. This Function also provides protection for the rod withdrawal at power event.

The LCO requires all four of the Power Range Neutron Flux - High Positive Rate channels to be OPERABLE (two-out-of-four trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is

  • 4.25% RTP with a time constant 2 2 seconds.

In MODE 1 or 2, when there is a potential to add a large amount of positive reactivity from a rod ejection accident (REA), the Power Range Neutron Flux- High Positive Rate trip must be OPERABLE.

In MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6, the Power Range Neutron Flux - High Positive Rate trip Function does not have to be OPERABLE because other RTS trip Functions and administrative controls will provide protection against positive reactivity additions. Also, since only the shutdown banks may be withdrawn in MODE'3, 4, or 5, the remaining complement of control bank worth ensures a sufficient degree of SDM in the event of an REA. In MODE 6, no rods are withdrawn and the SDM is increased during refueling operations. The reactor vessel head is also removed or the closure bolts are detensioned preventing any pressure buildup. In addition, the NIS power range detectors cannot detect neutron levels present in this mode.

Intermediate Rance Neutron Flux SAFETY ANALYSES, The Intermediate Range Neutron Flux trip Function ensures that LCO, AND protection is provided against an uncontrolled RCCA bank rod APPLICABILITY withdrawal accident from a subcritical condition during'startup (continued) (automatic rod withdrawal is no longer available). This trip Function provides redundant protection to the Power Range Neutron Flux - Low Setpoint trip Function. The NIS intermediate range detectors are located external to the reactor vessel and measure neutrons leaking from the core. The NIS intermediate range detectors do not provide any input to control systems. Note that this Function also provides a signal to prevent rod withdrawal prior to initiating a reactor trip. Limiting further rod withdrawal may terminate the transient and eliminate the need to trip the reactor.

The LCO requires two channels of Intermediate Range Neutron Flux to be OPERABLE. Two OPERABLE channels are sufficient to ensure no single random failure will disable this trip Function (one-out-of-two trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is

Because this trip'Function is important only during startup, there is generally no need to disable channels for testing while the Function is required to be OPERABLE. Therefore, a third channel is unnecessary.

In MODE '1 below the P-10 setpoint, and in MODE 2 above the P-6 setpoint, when there is a potential for an uncontrolled RCCA bank rod withdrawal accident during reactor startup, the Intermediate Range Neutron Flux trip must be OPERABLE.

Above the P-10 setpoint, the Power Range Neutron Flux - High Setpoint trip and the Power Range Neutron Flux - High Positive Rate trip provide core protection for a rod withdrawal accident. In MODE 2 below the P-6 setpoint, the Source Range Neutron Flux trip Function provides core protection for reactivity accidents. In MODE 3, 4, or 5, the Intermediate Range Neutron Flux trip does not have to be OPERABLE because the control rods must be fully inserted and only the shutdown rods may be withdrawn. The reactor cannot be started up in this condition. The core also has the required SDM to mitigate the consequences of a positive reactivity addition accident. In MODE 6, all rods are fully inserted and the core has a required increased SDM. Also, the NIS intermediate range detectors cannot detect neutron levels present

Source Ranae Neutron Flux SAFETY ANALYSES, The LCO requirement for the Source Range Neutron Flux trip LCO, AND Function ensures that protection is provided against an APPLICABILITY uncontrolled RCCA bank rod withdrawal accident from a (continued) subcritical condition during startup (automatic rod withdrawal is no longer available). This trip Function provides redundant protection to the Power Range Neutron Flux- Low and Intermediate Range Neutron Flux trip Functions. In MODES 3, 4, and 5, administrative controls also prevent the uncontrolled manual withdrawal of rods.

The NIS source range detectors are located external to the reactor vessel and measure neutrons leaking from the core. The NIS source range detectors do not provide any inputs to control systems. The source range trip is the only RTS automatic protection function required in MODES 3, 4, and 5 with the Rod Control System capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods not fully inserted. Therefore, the functional capability at the Trip Setpoint is assumed to be available.

The LCO requires two channels of Source Range Neutron Flux to be OPERABLE. Two OPERABLE channels are sufficient to ensure no single random failure will disable this trip Function. This Function uses one-out-of-two trip logic. The Trip Setpoint is S 1.0 E5 cps. The outputs of the Function to RTS logic are not required OPERABLE in MODE 6 or when all rods are fully inserted and the Rod Control System is incapable of rod withdrawal.

The Source Range Neutron Flux trip Function provides protection for control rod withdrawal from subcritical, boron dilution, and control rod ejection events.

In MODE 2 when below the P-6 setpoint, the Source Range Neutron Flux trip must be OPERABLE. Above the P-6 setpoint, the Intermediate Range Neutron Flux trip and the Power Range Neutron Flux- Low trip will provide core protection for reactivity accidents. Above the P-6 setpoint, the NIS source range neutron flux reactor trip may be manually blocked. When the source range trip is blocked, the high voltage to the detectors is also removed.

In MODES 3, 4, and 5 with the Rod Control System capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods not fully inserted, the Source Range Neutron Flux trip Function must also be OPERABLE. If the Rod Control System is capable of rod withdrawal, the Source Range Neutron Flux trip must be OPERABLE to provide core protection against a rod withdrawal accident.

,Boron Dilution Mitigation System (BDMS)," to protect against inadvertent reactivity changes that may occur as a result of events like an uncontrolled boron dilution. The requirements for the NIS source range detectors in MODE 6 are addressed in LCO 3.9.3, "Nuclear Instrumentation."

6. Overtemperature AT The Overtemperature AT trip Function is provided to ensure that the design limit DNBR is met. This trip Function also limits the range over which the Overpower AT trip Function must provide protection. The inputs to the Overtemperature AT trip include pressure, coolant temperature, axial power distribution, and reactor power as indicated by loop AT assuming full reactor coolant flow. Protection from violating the DNBR limit is assured for those transients that are slow with respect to delays from the core to the measurement system. The Overtemperature AT trip Function uses each loop's AT as a measure of reactor power and is compared with a setpoint that is automatically varied with the following parameters:

reactor coolant average temperature - the Trip Setpoint is varied to correct for changes in coolant density and specific heat capacity with changes in coolant temperature;

', , pressurizer pressure - the Trip Setpoint is varied to correct for changes in system pressure; and

.. axial power distribution f(AI) - the Trip Setpoint is varied to

Dynamic compensation is included for system piping delays from the core to the temperature measurement system.

each loop. Setting ATO and T' to the measured value of AT, and T' normalizes each loop's Overtemperature AT trip to the RCS loop conditions existing at the time of measurement, thus the trip reflects the equivalent full power conditions assumed for the OTAT trip in the accident analyses. These differences in vessel AT and Tavg can result from several factors, two of them being measured RCS loop flows greater than Minimum Measured Flow and asymmetric power distributions between quadrants. While RCS loop flows are not expected to change, radial power redistribution between quadrants may occur resulting in small changes in loop-specific vessel AT and Tavg values. Accurate determination of the loop-specific vessel AT and Ta.g values are made when performing the Incore/Excore quarterly recalibration under steady state conditions (i.e., power distributions not affected by xenon or other transient conditions).

The time constants used in the lag compensation of measured AT

('13 ) and measured Tavg (TO) are set at 0 seconds. This setting corresponds to the 7300 NLL card values used for lag compensation of these signals. Safety analyses that credit Overtemperature AT for protection must account for these field adjustable lag cards as well as all other first order lag contributions (i.e., the combined RTD/thermowell response time and the scoop transport delay and thermal lag). The safety analyses use a total first order lag of less than or equal to 6 seconds.

The Overtemperature AT trip Function is calculated for each loop as described in Note 1 of Table 3.3.1-1. Trip occurs if Overtemperature AT is indicated in two loops. The pressure and temperature signals are used for other control functions; thus, the actuation logic must be able to withstand an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the protection function actuation. Note that this Function also provides a signal to generate a turbine runback prior to reaching the Trip Setpoint. A turbine runback will reduce turbine power and reactor power, either through automatic rod insertion or through operator action. A reduction in power will normally alleviate the Overtemperature AT condition and may prevent a reactor trip.

7. OverpowerAT:.

The OverpowerAT trip Function ensures that protection is provided to ensure the integrity of the fuel (i.e., no fuel pellet melting and less than 1% cladding strain) under all possible overpower-conditions. This trip Function also limits the required range of the Overtemperature AT trip Function and provides a backup to the Power Range Neutron Flux - High Setpoint trip. The OverpowerAT trip Function ensures that the allowable heat generation rate (kWlft) of the fuel is not exceeded. The Overpower AT trip also provides protection to mitigate the consequences of small steamline breaks, as reported in Reference 11, and the decrease in feedwater temperature event (Ref. 13). It uses the AT of each loop as a measure of reactor power with a setpoint that is automatically varied with the following parameters:

The time constants used in the lag compensation of measured AT (T3 ) and measured Tarvg (Te) are set at 0 seconds. This setting corresponds to the 7300 NLL card values used for lag compensation of these signals. Safety analyses that credit Overpower AT for protection must account for these field adjustable lag cards as well as all other first order lag contributions (i.e., the combined RTD/ thermowell response time and the scoop transport delay and thermal lag). The safety analyses use a total first order lag of less than or equal to 6 seconds.

The OverpowerAT trip Function is calculated for each loop as per Note 2 of Table 3.3.1-1. Trip occurs if Overpower AT is indicated in two loops. The actuation logic must be able to withstand an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the remaining channels providing the protection function actuation. Note that this Function also provides a signal to generate a turbine runback prior to reaching the Trip Setpoint. A turbine runback will reduce turbine power and reactor power. A reduction in power will normally alleviate the OverpowerAT condition and may prevent a reactor trip.

APPLICABILITY The LCO requires four channels of Pressurizer Pressure -

High to be OPERABLE (two-out-of-four trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is

  • 2385 psig.

The Pressurizer Pressure - High Allowable Value is selected to be below the pressurizer safety valve actuation pressure and above the power operated relief valve (PORV) setting. This setting minimizes challenges to safety valves while avoiding unnecessary reactor trip for those pressure increases that can be controlled by the PORVs.

In MODE 1 or 2, the Pressurizer Pressure - High trip must be OPERABLE to help prevent RCS overpressurization and minimize challenges to the PORVs and safety valves.

In MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6, the Pressurizer Pressure - High trip Function does not have to be OPERABLE because transients that could cause an overpressure condition will <9 be slow to occur. Therefore, the operator will have sufficient time to evaluate unit conditions and take corrective actions. Additionally, low temperature overpressure protection systems provide overpressure protection when the temperature of one or more RCS loops is below 2750F.

9. Pressurizer Water Level - High The Pressurizer Water Level - High trip Function provides a backup signal for the Pressurizer Pressure - High trip and also provides protection against water relief through the pressurizer safety valves. These valves are designed to pass steam in order to achieve their design energy removal rate. A reactor trip is actuated prior to the pressurizer becoming water solid. The LCO requires three channels of Pressurizer Water Level - High to be OPERABLE (two-out-of-three trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is
  • 92% of instrument span. The pressurizer level channels are used as input to the Pressurizer Level Control System. A fourth channel is not required to address control/protection interaction concerns. The level channels do not actuate the safety valves, and the high pressure reactor trip is set below the safety valve setting. Therefore, with the slow rate of charging available, (continued)

This trip Function is automatically enabled on increasing power by the P-7 interlock. On decreasing power, this trip Function is automatically blocked below P-7. Below the P-7 setpoint, transients that could raise the pressurizer water level will be slow and the operator will have sufficient time to evaluate unit conditions and take corrective actions.

10. Reactor Coolant Flow - Low The Reactor Coolant Flow - Low trip Function ensures that protection is provided against violating the DNBR limit due to low flow in one or more RCS loops, while avoiding reactor trips due to normal variations in loop flow. Above the P-7 setpoint, the reactor trip on low flow in two or more RCS loops is automatically enabled. Above the P-8 setpoint, a loss of flow in any RCS loop will actuate a reactor trip. Each RCS loop has three flow detectors to monitor flow. The flow signals are not used for any control system input. -

The LCO requires three Reactor Coolant Flow - Low channels per loop to be OPERABLE in MODE 1 above P-7 (two-out-of-three trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is 2 90% of loop Minimum Measured Flow (MMF - 95,660 gpm).

In MODE 1 above the P-8 setpoint, a loss of flow in one RCS loop could result in DNB conditions in the core because of the higher power level. In MODE 1 below the P-8 setpoint and above the P-7 setpoint, a loss of flow in two or more loops is required to actuate

Each PT secondary side is connected to an undervoltage relay and time delay relay, as well as a separate underfrequency relay.

The time delay relay prevents spurious trips caused by transient voltage perturbations. This trip Function will generate a reactor trip before the Reactor Coolant Flow - Low Trip Setpoint is reached.

The LCO requires two Undervoltage RCP channels per bus to be OPERABLE, a total of four channels. The Trip Setpoint is

Ž 10,584 Vac.

In MODE I above the P-7 setpoint, the Undervoltage RCP trip must be OPERABLE. Below the P-7 setpoint, all reactor trips on loss of flow are automatically blocked since the core is not producing sufficient power to generate DNB conditions. Above the P-7 setpoint, the reactor trip on Undervoltage-RCPs is automatically enabled.

13. Underfreauencv Reactor Coolant Pumps The Underfrequency RCP reactor trip Function ensures that protection is provided against violating the DNBR limit due to a loss of flow in two or more RCS loops from a major network frequency disturbance. An underfrequency condition will slow down the pumps, thereby reducing their coastdown time following a pump trip. An adequate coastdown time is required so that reactor heat can be removed immediately after reactor trip. There is one potential transformer (PT), with a primary to secondary ratio of 14400:120, connected in parallel with the 13.8 kV power supply (PA system) to each RCP motor at the motor side of the supply breaker.

14. Steam Generator Water Level - Low Low The SG Water Level - Low Low trip Function ensures that protection is provided against a loss of heat sink and actuates the AFW System prior to uncovering the SG tubes. The SGs are the heat sink'for the reactor. In order to act as a heat sink, the SGs must contain a minimum amount of water. A narrow range low low level in any SG is indicative of a loss of heat sink for the reactor.

The level transmitters also provide input to the SG Level Control System. Therefore', the actuation logic must be able to withstand an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other

- .channels providing the protection function actuation. This Function also performs the ESFAS function of starting the AFW

The EAM/TTD circuitry reduces the potential for inadvertent trips via the Environmental Allowance Modifier, (EAM), enabled on containment pressure exceeding its setpoint, and the Trip Time Delay (TTD), enabling time delays dependent on vessel AT as listed in Table B 3.3.1-1. Because the SG Water Level transmitters (d/p cells) are located inside containment, they may experience adverse environmental conditions due to a feedline break. The EAM function is used to

The EAM enables a lower Steam Generator Water Level - Low-Low (Normal) trip setpoint when these conditions are not present, thus allowing more margin to trip for normal operating conditions. The TTD delays reactor trip on SG Water Level Low-Low, thereby providing additional operational margin during early power ascension by allowing the operator time to recover level when the primary side load is sufficiently small to not require an earlier trip.

The TTD continuously monitors primary side power using Vessel AT. Scaling of the Vessel AT channels is dependent on the loop-specific values for AT., discussed under the OTAT and OPAT trips. Two time delays are provided, based on the primary side power level; the magnitude of the trip delay decreases with increasing power. If the EAM or TTD trip functions have inoperable required channels, it is acceptable to place the inoperable channels in the tripped condition and continue operation. Placing the inoperable channels in the trip mode enables the Steam Generator Water Level - Low-Low (Adverse) function, for the EAM, or removes the trip delay for the TTD. If the <)

Steam Generator Water Level - Low-Low (Normal) trip function has an inoperable required channel, the inoperable channel must be tripped, subject to the LCO Applicability footnote.

The LCO requires four channels of SG Water Level - Low Low per SG to be OPERABLE because these channels are shared between protection and control. All SG Water Level-Low Low reactor trip Functions use two-out-of-four logic. As with other protection functions, the single failure criterion applies. The Trip Setpoints for the SG Water Level Low-Low (Adverse Containment Environment) and (Normal Containment Environment) bistables are 2 27.0% and 2 21.6% of narrow range span, respectively. The Trip Setpoints for the Vessel AT (Power-1) and (Power-2) bistables are < Vessel AT Equivalent to 12.41% RTP and

However, other transients and accidents take credit for varying levels of ESF performance and rely upon rod insertion, except for the most reactive rod that is assumed to be fully withdrawn, to ensure reactor shutdown. Therefore, a reactor trip is initiated every time an Si signal is present.

Trip Setpoint and Allowable Values are not applicable to this Function. The Si Input is provided by logic in the SSPS circuitry of ESFAS. Therefore, there is no measurement signal with which to associate an LSSS.

The LCO requires two trains of SI Input from ESFAS to be

- OPERABLE in MODE 1 or 2.

A reactor trip is initiated every time an Si signal is present.

Therefore,this trip Function must be OPERABLE in MODE 1 or 2, when the reactor is critical. In MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6, the reactor is not critical, and this trip Function does not need to be OPERABLE.

18. ReactorTrinp System Interlocks

.Reactor protection interlocks are provided to ensure reactor trips are in the correct configuration for the current unit status. They back up operator actions to ensure protection system Functions are not bypassed during unit conditions under which the safety analysis assumes the Functions are not bypassed. Therefore, the interlock Functions do not need to be OPERABLE when the associated reactor trip functions are outside the applicable (continued)

LCO, AND APPLICABILITY a. Intermediate Range Neutron Flux, P-6 The Intermediate Range Neutron Flux, P-6 interlock is actuated when any NIS intermediate range channel goes approximately one decade above the minimum channel reading. If both channels drop below the setpoint, the permissive will automatically be defeated. The LCO requirement for the P-6 interlock ensures that the following Functions are performed:

on increasing power, the P-6 interlock allows the manual block of the NIS Source Range, Neutron Flux reactor trip. This prevents a premature block of the source range trip and allows the operator to ensure that the intermediate range is OPERABLE prior to leaving the source range. When the source range trip is blocked, the high voltage to the detectors is also removed;

  • on decreasing power, the P-6 interlock automatically energizes the NIS source range detectors and enables the NIS Source Range Neutron Flux reactor trip; and
  • on increasing power, the P-6 interlock provides a backup block signal to the source range flux multiplication circuit. Normally, this Function is manually blocked by the control room operator during the reactor startup.

The LCO requires two channels of Intermediate Range Neutron Flux, P-6 interlock to be OPERABLE in MODE 2 when below the P-6 interlock setpoint (one-out-of-two trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is 2 1.0 E-10 amps.

Above the P-6 interlock setpoint, the NIS Source Range Neutron Flux reactor trip will be blocked, and this Function will no longer be necessary. In MODE 3, 4, 5, or 6, the P-6 interlock does not have to be OPERABLE because the NIS Source Range is providing core protection.

Low Power Reactor Trips Block, P-7 LCO, AND APPLICABILITY The Low Power Reactor Trips Block, P-7 interlock is actuated by input from either the Power Range Neutron Flux, P-10, or the Turbine Impulse Chamber Pressure, P-1 3 interlock. The LCO requirement for the P-7 interlock ensures that the following Functions are performed:

  • Pressurizer Pressure - Low;
  • Pressurizer Water Level - High;
  • Undervoltage RCPs; and
  • Underfrequency RCPs.

These reactor trips are only required when operating above the P-7 setpoint (10% power).

The reactor trips provide protection against violating the DNBR limit. Below the P-7 setpoint, the RCS is capable of providing sufficient natural circulation without any RCP running.

(2) on decreasing power, the P-7 interlock automatically blocks reactor trips on the following Functions:

SAFETY ANALYSES, Allowable Values are not applicable to the P-7 interlock LCO, AND because it is a logic Function and thus has no parameter APPLICABILITY with which to associate an LSSS.

The P-7 interlock is a logic Function with train and not channel identity. Therefore, the LCO requires one channel per train of Low Power Reactor Trips Block, P-7 interlock to be OPERABLE in MODE 1.

The low power trips are blocked below the P-7 setpoint and unblocked above the P-7 setpoint. In MODE 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, this Function does not have to be OPERABLE because the interlock performs its Function when power level drops below 10% power, which is in MODE 1.

c. Power Range Neutron Flux. P-8 The Power Range Neutron Flux, P-8 interlock is actuated at 48% power as determined by two-out-of-four NIS power range detectors. The P-8 interlock automatically enables the Reactor Coolant Flow - Low reactor trip on low flow in one or more RCS loops on increasing power. The LCO requirement for this trip Function ensures that protection is provided against a loss of flow in any RCS loop that could result in DNB conditions in the core when greater than 48% power. On decreasing power, the reactor trip on low flow in any loop is automatically blocked (low flow in two or more loops will initiate a reactor trip above the P-7 interlock).

The LCO requires four channels of Power Range Neutron Flux, P-8 interlock to be OPERABLE in MODE 1 (two-out-of-four trip logic). The Trip Setpoint is

In MODE 1, a loss of flow in one RCS loop could result in DNB conditions, so the Power Range Neutron Flux, P-8 interlock must be OPERABLE. In MODE 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, this Function does not have to be OPERABLE because the core is not producing sufficient power to be concerned about DNB conditions.

The Trip Setpoint is 10% RTR OPERABILITY in MODE 1 ensures the Function is available to perform its decreasing power Functions in the event of a reactor shutdown.

A trip breaker train consists of all trip breakers associated with a single RTS logic train that are racked in, closed, and capable of supplying power to the Rod Control System. Thus, the train may consist of the main breaker or main breaker and opposite train bypass breaker, depending upon the system configuration. Two OPERABLE trains ensure no single random failure can disable the RTS trip capability.

These trip Furictions must be OPERABLE in MODE I or 2 when the reactor is critical. In MODE 3, 4, or 5, these RTS trip Functions must be OPERABLE when the Rod Control System is capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods are not fully inserted.

Each RTB is equipped with an undervoltage coil and a shunt trip coil to trip the breaker open when needed. Each RTB is equipped with a bypass breaker to allow testing of the trip breaker while the unit is at power. The reactor trip signals generated by the RTS Automatic Trip Logic cause the RTBs and associated bypass breakers to open and shut down the reactor.

The LCO requires two trains of RTS Automatic Trip Logic to be OPERABLE. Having two OPERABLE channels ensures that random failure of a single logic channel will not prevent reactor trip.

These trip Functions must be OPERABLE in MODE 1 or 2 when the reactor is critical. In MODE 3, 4, or 5, these RTS trip Functions must be OPERABLE when the Rod Control System is capable of rod withdrawal or one or more rods are not fully inserted.

The RTS instrumentation satisfies Criterion 3 of I OCFR50.36(c)(2)(ii).

ACTIONS A Note has been added to the ACTIONS to clarify the application of Completion Time rules. The Conditions of this Specification may be entered independently for each Function listed in Table 3.3.1-1.

In the event a channel's Trip Setpoint is found nonconservative with respect to the Allowable Value, or the transmitter, instrument loop, signal processing electronics, or bistable is found inoperable, then all affected Functions provided by that channel must be declared inoperable and the LCO Condition(s) entered for the protection Function(s) affected. When the Required Channels in Table 3.3.1-1 are specified on a per loop, per SG, per bus, or per train basis, then the Condition may be entered separately for each loop, SQ bus, or train.

When the number of inoperable channels in a trip Function exceed those specified in one or other related Conditions associated with a trip Function, then the unit is outside the safety analysis. Therefore, LCO 3.0.3 must be immediately entered if applicable in the current MODE of operation.

To achieve this status, action must be initiated within the same 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> to fully insert all rods and the Rod Control System must be rendered incapable of rod withdrawal within the next hour (e.g., by de-energizing all CRDMs, by opening the RTBs, or de-energizing the motor generator (MG) sets). The additional hour for the latter provides sufficient time to accomplish the action in an orderly manner. With the rods fully inserted and the Rod Control System incapable of rod withdrawal, these Functions are no longer required.

The Completion Time is reasonable considering that in this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE train is adequate to perform the safety function, and given the low probability of an event occurring during this interval.

Condition C is modified by a Note stating that while this LCO is not met for Function 19, 20, or 21 in MODE 5, making the Rod Control System capable of rod withdrawal is not permitted. This Note specifies an exception to LCO 3.0.4 for this MODE 5 transition and avoids placing the plant in a condition where control rods can be withdrawn or not fully inserted while the reactor trip system is degraded.

D.1.1, D.1.2, D.2.1, D.2.2. and D.3 Condition D applies to the Power Range Neutron Flux - High trip Function.

The NIS power range detectors provide input to the Rod Control System and the SG Water Level Control System and, therefore, have a two-out-of-four trip logic. A known inoperable channel must be placed in the tripped condition. This results in a partial trip condition requiring only one-out-of-three logic for actuation.

The Completion Times allow for a slow and controlled power adjustment above P-10 or below P-6 and take into account the redundant capability afforded by the redundant OPERABLE channel, the overlap of the Power Range detectors, and the low probability of another intermediate range channel failure during this period. This action does not require the inoperable.channel to be tripped because the Function uses one-out-of-two logic. Tripping one channel would trip the reactor. Thus, the Required Actions specified in this Condition are only applicable when channel failure does not result in reactor trip.

G.1 and G2 Condition G applies to two inoperable Intermediate Range Neutron Flux trip channels in MODE 2 when THERMAL POWER is above the P-6 setpoint and below the P-10 setpoint. Required Actions specified in this Condition are only applicable when channel failures do not result in reactor trip., Above the P-6 setpoint and below the P-1 0 setpoint, the NIS intermediate range detectors perform the monitoring and protection functions. With no intermediate range channels OPERABLE, the Required Actions are to suspend operations involving positive reactivity additions immediately. This will preclude any power level increase since there are no.OPERABLE Intermediate Range Neutron Flux channels.

The operator must also reduce THERMAL POWER below the P-6 setpoint within two hours. This may require the use of the NIS source range channels or the neutron flux channels discussed in LCO 3.3.3, "Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Instrumentation," with action to reduce power below the count rate equivalent to the P-6 setpoint.

If the inoperability impacts the Power-1 and Power-2 portions of the TTD circuitry (e.g., Vessel AT RTD failure), both the Power-1 and Power-2 bistables in the affected protection set(s) are placed in the tripped condition. However, if the inoperability is limited to either the Power-1 or Power-2 portion of the TTD circuitry, only the corresponding Power-1 or Power-2 bistable in the affected protection set(s) is placed in the tripped condition. With one or more TTD circuitry delay timer(s) inoperable, both the Vessel AT (Power-1) and Vessel AT (Power-2) channels are tripped. This automatically enables a zero time delay for that protection channel with either the normal or adverse containment environment level bistable enabled.

Similarly, Train A and Train B must be examined when testing Channel II, Channel l1l, and Channel IV. The CHANNEL CALIBRATIONs and COTs are performed in a manner that is consistent with the assumptions used in analytically calculating the required channel accuracies.

A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels. It is based on the assumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should read approximately the same value. Significant deviations between the two instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift in one of the channels or of something even more serious. A CHANNEL CHECK-will detect gross channel failure; thus, it is key to verifying that the instrumentation continues to operate properly between each CHANNEL CALIBRATION.

Agreement criteria are determined by the unit staff based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties, including indication and readability. Ifa channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the sensor or the signal processing equipment has drifted outside its

The Frequency is based on operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare.; The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channels during normal operational use of the displays associated with the LCO required channels.

REQUIREMENTS calorimetric calculation exceeds the power range channel output by more than +2% RTR If the power range channel output cannot be properly adjusted, the channel is declared inoperable.

If the calorimetic is performed at part-power (<40% RTP), adjusting the power range channel indication in the increasing power direction will assure a reactor trip below the power range high safety analysis limit (SAL) of s 118% RTP in FSAR Table 15.0-4 (Reference 10). Making no adjust to the power range channel in the decreasing power direction due to a part-power calorimetric assures a reactor trip consistent with the safety analyses.

This allowance does not preclude making indicated power adjustments, if desired, when the calorimetric heat balance calculation power is less than the power range channel output. To provide close agreement between indicated power and to preserve operating margin, the power range channels are normally adjusted when operating at or near full power during steady-state conditions. However, discretion must be exercised if the power range channel output is adjusted in the decreasing power direction due to a part-power calorimetric (<40% RTP). This action could introduce a non-conservative bias at higher power levels which could delay an NIS reactor trip until power is above the power range high SAL.

The cause of the non-conservative bias is the decreased accuracy of the calorimetric at reduced power conditions. The primary error contributor to the instrument uncertainty for a secondary side power calorimetric measurement is the feedwater flow measurement, which is determined by a AP measurement across a feedwater venturi. While the measurement uncertainty remains constant in AP span as power decreases, when translated into flow the uncertainty increases as a square term. Thus, a 1% flow error at 100% power can approach a 10% flow error at 30% RTP even though the AP error has not changed. To assure a reactor trip below the power range high SAL, the power range neutron flux - high trip setpoint is first set at

  • 85% RTP prior to adjusting the power range channel output in the decreasing power direction whenever the calorimetric power is 2 20% RTP and <40% RTP. To assure a reactor trip below the power range high SAL, the power range neutron flux - high trip setpoint is first set a

REQUIREMENTS power range neutron flux - high trip setpoint prior to startup. This would anticipate the potential need for a decreasing power direction adjustment, thereby obviating the need to suspend power escalation for the purpose of first reducing the trip setpoint. Before the power range neutron flux -

high trip setpoint is re-set to its nominal full power value (* 109% RTP),

the power range'channel calibration must be confirmed based on a calorimetric performed at Ž 40% RTP.

The Note to SR 3.3.1.2 clarifies that this Surveillance is required only if the reactor power is 215% RTP and that 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> are allowed for performing the first Surveillance after reaching 15% RTP. A power level of 15% RTP is chosen based on plant stability, i.e., automatic rod control capability (manual rod control is normally used at Callaway) and the turbine generator synchronized to the grid. The 24-hour allowance after increasing THERMAL POWER above 15% RTP provides a reasonable time toattain a scheduled power plateau, establish the requisite conditions, perform the required calorimetric measurement, and make any required adjustments in a controlled, orderly manner and without

REQUIREMENTS If the NIS channel cannot be properly readjusted, the channel is declared inoperable. This Surveillance is performed to verify the f(AI) input to the Overtemperature AT Function.

The Note to SR 3.3.1.3 clarifies that the Surveillance is required only if reactor power is 2 50% RTP and that 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is allowed for performing the first Surveillance after reaching 50% RTR This Note allows power ascensions and associated testing to be conducted in a controlled and orderly manner, at conditions that provide acceptable results and without introducing the potential for extended operation at high power levels with instrumentation that has not been verified to be OPERABLE for subsequent use. Due to such effects as shadowing from the relatively deep control rod insertion and, to a lesser extent, the axially-dependent radial leakage which varies with power level, the relationship between the incore and excore indications of axial flux difference (AFD) at lower power levels is variable. Thus, it is acceptable to defer the calibration of the excore AFD against the incore AFD until more stable conditions are attained (i.e., withdrawn control rods and a higher power level). The AFD is used as an input to the Overtemperature AT reactor trip function and for assessing compliance with LCO 3.2.3, "AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE."

Due to the DNB benefits gained by administratively restricting the power J level to 50% RTP, no limits on AFD are imposed below 50% RTP by LCO 3.2.3; thus, the proposed change is consistent with the LCO 3.2.3 requirements below 50% RTP. Similarly, sufficient DNB margins are realized through operation below 50% RTP that the intended function of the Overtemperature AT reactor trip function is maintained, even though the excore AFD indication may not exactly match the incore AFD indication. Based on plant operating experience, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is a reasonable time frame to limit operation above 50% RTP while completing the procedural steps associated with the surveillance in an orderly manner.

The Frequency of every 31 EFPD is adequate. It is based on unit operating experience, considering instrument reliability and operating history data for instrument drift. Also, the slow changes in neutron flux during the fuel cycle can be detected during this interval.

The RTB test shall include separate verification of the undervoltage and shunt trip mechanisms. Independent verification of RTB undervoltage and shunt trip Function is not required for the bypass breakers. No capability is provided for performing such a test at power. The independent test for bypass breakers is included in SR 3.3.1.14. The

If the measurements do not agree, the excore channels are not declared inoperable but must be calibrated to agree with the incore detector measurements.- If the excore channels cannot be adjusted, the channels are declared inoperable.

Equilibrium conditions are achieved when the core is sufficiently stable at intended operating conditions to perform flux mapping.

The SR is deferred until a scheduled testing plateau above 75% RTP is attained during a power ascension. During a typical power ascension, it is usually necessary to control the axial flux difference at lower power levels through control rod insertion. After equilibrium conditions are achieved at the specified power plateau, a flux map must be taken and the required data collected.

RTS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.3.1.16 REQUIREMENTS (continued) SR 3.3.1.16 verifies that the individual channel actuation response times are less than or equal to the maximum values assumed in the accident analysis. Response time verification acceptance criteria are included in Reference 8. No credit was taken in the safety analyses for those channels with response times listed as N.A. No response time testing requirements apply where N.A. is listed in Reference 8. Individual component response times are not modeled in the analyses. The analyses model the overall or total elapsed time, from the point at which the parameter exceeds the trip setpoint value at the sensor until loss of stationary gripper coil voltage (at which point the rods are free to fall).

The safety analyses include the sum of the following response time components:

(a) Process delay times (e.g., scoop transport delay and thermal lag associated with the narrow range RCS RTDs used in the OTAT, OPAT, and SG low-low Vessel AT (Power-1, Power-2) functions) which are not testable; (b) Sensing circuitry delay time from the time the trip setpoint is reached at the sensor until a reactor trip is generated by the SSPS; (c) Any intentional time delay set into the trip circuitry (e.g.,

REQUIREMENTS For channels that include'dynamic transfer functions (e.g., lag, lead/lag, rate/lag, etc.),' the response time verification is performed with the time constants set at their'nominal values.' Time constants are verified during the performance of SR 3.3.1.10 and SR 3.3.1.11. The response time may be verified by a series of overlapping tests, or other verification (e.g.,

- Ref. 9 and Ref. 15),' such that the entire response time is verified.

Response time' may be verified by actual response time tests in any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel measurements, or by the summation of allocated sensor, signal processing, and actuation logic response times With actual response time tests on the remainder of the

-channel. Allo6ations for sensor response times may be obtained from:

1) historical records based on acceptable response time tests (hydraulic, noise, or power interrupt tests); (2) inplace, onsite, or offsite (e.g. vendor) test measurements; or (3) utilizing vendor engineering specifications.

-WCAP-13632-P-A' Revision 2, "Elimination of Pressure Sensor Response Time Testing Requirements," provides the basis and methodology for using allocated sensor response times in the overall verification of the channel response time for specific sensors identified in the WCAP. Response time verification for other sensor types must be demonstrated by test.

WCAP-1 4036-P-A, Revision 1, "Elimination of Periodic Protection Channel Response Time Tests," provides the basis and methodology for using allocated signal processing and actuation logic response times in the overall verification of the protection system channel response time.

The allocatiosri for'sensor, signal conditioning, and actuation logic response times must be verified prior to placing the component in

-operational service'and re-verified following maintenance that may adversely affect response time. In general, electrical repair work does not impact response time provided the parts used for repair are of the same type and value.' Specific components identified in References 9 and 15 may be replaced without verification testing. One example where response time could be affected is replacing the sensing assembly of a transmitter.

As appropriate, each channel's response'time must be verified every 18 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. Each verification shall include at least one'train such that both trains are verified at least once per 36 months. Testing of the final actuation devices (i.e., reactor trip breakers) is included in the verification.

REQUIREMENTS decay and the RCCA grippers to mechanically release making the rods free to fall (i.e., gripper release time) is measured during the performance of SR 3.1.4.3 which verifies rod drop time from the beginning of decay of stationary gripper coil voltage. For surveillance testing performance, gripper release time is not included in the reactor trip system instrumentation response time testing due to the difficulty in determining the precise point at which the rods are free to fall. SR 3.1.4.3 specifies a readily quantifiable time to use as a separation point for field measurements, i.e., "from the beginning of decay of stationary gripper coil voltage." The rod drop time measurement in SR 3.1.4.3 begins at the time the rod control power cabinet regulator board circuit for a specific rod group is grounded, causing the board to reduce the stationary gripper coil current to zero releasing the rod group. This is essentially the same time at which the reactor trip breaker's opening would interrupt current to the stationary gripper coil. The response time definition, "until loss of stationary gripper coil voltage, " is less quantifiable. However, the definition's provision for overlapping testing allows this testing approach since the total response time is determined. The safety analyses are satisfied as long as both surveillances, response time and rod drop time, are met. Some portions of the response time testing cannot be performed during unit operation because equipment operation is required eJ to measure response times. Experience has shown that these components usually pass this Surveillance when performed at the 18 month Frequency. Therefore, the Frequency was concluded to be acceptable from a reliability standpoint.

SR 3.3.1.16 is modified by a Note stating that neutron detectors are excluded from RTS RESPONSE TIME testing. This Note is necessary because of the difficulty in generating an appropriate detector input signal.

Excluding the detectors is acceptable because the principles of detector operation ensure a virtually instantaneous response. Response time of the neutron flux signal portion of the channel shall be verified from detector output or input to the first electronic component in the channel.

ESFAS Instrumentation B 3.3.2 BASES BACKGROUND Signal Processinq E6'uipment -

(continued)

Generally, three or four channels of process control equipment are used for the signal processing of unit parameters measured by the field instruments. The process control equipment provides signal conditioning, comparable output signals for instruments located on the main control board, and comparison of measured input signals with setpoints established by safety analyses. If the measured value of a unit parameter

-exceeds the predetermined setpoin't, an output from a bistable is forwarded to the SSPS for decision evaluation. Channel separation is maintained up to and through the input bays. However, not all unit parameters require four channels of sensor measurement and signal processing. Some unit parameters provide input only to the SSPS, while others provide input to the SSPS, the main control board, the unit I

computer, and one or more control systems.

Generally, if a parameter is used only for input to the protection circuits, three channels with a two-out-of-three logic are sufficient to provide the required reliability and redundancy. If onre channel fails in a direction that would not result in a partial Function trip, the Function is still OPERABLE with a two-out-of-two'logic. 'If one channel fails such that a partial Function trip occurs, a trip will not occur and the Function is still

Generally, if a parameter is used for input to the SSPS and a control function, four channels with a two-out-of-four logic are sufficient to provide the required reliability and redundancy. The circuit must be able to withstand both an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the protection function actuation. Again, a single

- failure will neither cause nor prevent the protection function actuation.

These requirements are described in IEEE-279-1971 (Ref. 4). The actual number of channels required for each unit parameter is specified in Reference 2.

TriD SetDoints and Allowable Values

-The Trip Setpoints are the nominal values at which the bistables are set.

Any bistable is considered to be properly'adjusted when the "as left" value is within the two-sided tolerance band for calibration accuracy (typically

+/- 15 mV).

U In ESFAS Instrumentation B 3.3.2 BASES BACKGROUND Trip Setpoints and Allowable Values (continued)

The Trip Setpoints listed in Table B 3.3.2-1 and used in the bistables are based on the analytical limits stated in Reference 3. The selection of these Trip Setpoints is such that adequate protection is provided when all sensor and processing time delays are taken into account. To allow for calibration tolerances, instrumentation uncertainties, instrument drift, and severe environment errors for those ESFAS channels that must function in harsh environments as defined by 10 CFR 50.49 (Ref. 5), the Allowable Values specified in Table 3.3.2-1 in the accompanying LCO are conservatively adjusted with respect to the analytical limits. A detailed description of the methodologies used to calculate the Trip Setpoints, including their explicit uncertainties, is provided in Reference 6. The BOP methodology used for Function 6.h is a similar square-root-sum-of-squares (SRSS) methodology as used for the RTS setpoints. The actual nominal Trip Setpoint entered into the bistable is more conservative than that specified by the Allowable Value to account for changes in random measurement errors detectable by a COT. One example of such a change in measurement error is drift during the surveillance interval. If the measured setpoint does not exceed the Allowable Value, the bistable is considered OPERABLE.

Setpoints in accordance with the Allowable Value ensure that the consequences of Design Basis Accidents (DBAs) will be acceptable, providing the unit is operated from within the LCOs at the onset of the DBA and the equipment functions as designed.

Each channel can be tested on line to verify that the signal processing equipment and setpoint accuracy is within the specified allowance requirements. Once a designated channel is taken out of service for testing, a simulated signal is injected in place of the field instrument signal. The process equipment for the channel in test is then tested, verified, and calibrated. SRs for the channels are specified in the SR section.

The Allowable Values listed in Table 3.3.2-1 are based on the methodologies described in Reference 6, which incorporate all of the known uncertainties applicable for each channel. The magnitudes of these uncertainties are factored into the determination of each Trip Setpoint. All field sensors and signal processing equipment for these channels are assumed to operate within the allowances of these uncertainty magnitudes.

(continued)l (continued) - The SSPS equipment is used for the decision logic processing of outputs from the signal processing equipment bistables. To meet the redundancy requirements,'two trains of SSPS, each performing the same functions, are provided. Ifone train is taken out of service for maintenance or test purposes, the'sec6nd train will provide ESF actuation for the unit. Ifboth trains are taken out of service or placed in test, a reactor trip will result.

Each train is'packaged in its own cabinet for physical and electrical separation to satisfy separation and independence requirements.

-- The SSPS performs the decision logic for most ESF equipment actuation; generates the electrical 'output signals that initiate the required actuation; and provides the status, permissive, and annunciator output signals to the main control room of the unit.,

The bistable outputs from the signal processing equipment are sensed by the SSPS equipment and combined into logic matrices that represent combinations' indicative of various transients. Ifa required logic matrix combination is completed, the system will send actuation signals via master and slave relays to those components whose aggregate Function best serves to alleviate the condition and restore the unit to a safe condition. Examples are given in the Applicable Safety Analyses, LCO, and Applicability sections of this Bases..

Each SSPS train has 'abuilt in testing device that can automatically test the decision logic matrix functions and the actuation devices while the unit is at power. Whe'n any one train is taken out of service for testing, the other train is capable of providing unit monitoring and protection until the testing has been completed. The testing device is semiautomatic to

-minimize testing time.

The actuation of ESF components is accomplished through master and

-slave relays. The SSPS energizes the master relays appropriate for the condition of the unit. Each master relay then energizes one or more slave relays, which then cause actuation of the end devices. The master and slave relays are routinely tested to ensure operation. The test of the

ESFAS Instrumentation B 3.3.2 BASES I BACKGROUND Balance of Plant (BOP) ESFAS (continued)

The BOP ESFAS processes signals from SSPS, signal processing equipment (e.g., LSELS), and plant radiation monitors to actuate certain ESF equipment. There are two redundant trains of BOP ESFAS (separation groups 1 and 4), and a third separation group (separation group 2) to actuate the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater pump and reposition automatic valves (turbine steam supply valves, turbine trip and throttle valve) as required. The separation group 2 BOP-ESFAS cabinet is considered to be part of the end device (the Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater pump) and its OPERABILITY is addressed under LCO 3.7.5, "Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System." The redundant trains provide actuation for the Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater pumps (and reposition automatic valves as required, i.e., steam generator blowdown and sample line isolation valves, ESW supply valves, CST supply valves),

Containment Purge Isolation, Control Room Emergency Ventilation, and Emergency Exhaust Actuation functions.

The BOP ESFAS has a built-in automatic test insertion (ATI) feature which continuously tests the system logic. Any fault detected during the testing causes an alarm on the main control room overhead annunciator system to alert operators to the problem. Local indication shows the test step where the fault was detected.

APPLICABLE Each of the analyzed accidents can be detected by one or more ESFAS SAFETY Functions. One of the ESFAS Functions is the primary actuation signal ANALYSES, for that accident. An ESFAS Function may be the primary actuation LCO, AND signal for more than one type of accident. An ESFAS Function may also APPLICABILITY be a secondary, or backup, actuation signal for one or more other accidents. For example, Pressurizer Pressure - Low is a primary actuation signal for small loss of coolant accidents (LOCAs) and a backup actuation signal for steam line breaks (SLBs) outside containment.

Functions such as manual initiation, not specifically credited in the accident safety analysis, are qualitatively credited. These Functions may provide protection for conditions that do not require dynamic transient analysis to demonstrate Function performance. These Functions may also serve as backups to Functions that were credited in the accident analysis (Ref. 3).

The LCO requires all instrumentation performing an ESFAS Function to be OPERABLE. Failure of any instrument renders the affected channel(s) inoperable and reduces the reliability of the affected Functions.

The LCO generally requires OPERABILITY of three or four channels in each instrumentation function and two channels in each logic and manual initiation function. The two-out-of-three and the two-out-of-four (continued)

- *LCO, AND the Required Action of an LCO, the logic configurations'are reduced to APPLICABILITY.-! one-out-of-two and one-out-of-three where tripping of an additional (continued) channel, for any reason, would result in an ESFAS initiation. To allow for surveillance testing or setpoint adjustment of other channels while in this condition, several Required Actions allow the inoperable channel to be bypassed. Bypassing the inoperable channel creates a two-out-of-two or two-out-of-three logic configuration allowing a channel to be tripped for testing without causing an ESFAS initiation. Two logic or manual initiation channels are required to ensure no single random failure disables the ESFAS.

The required channels of ESFAS instrumentation provide unit protection in the event of any of the analyzed accidents. ESFAS protection functions are as follows:

1. Safety Iniection Safety Injection (SI) provides two primary functions:
1. Primary side water addition to ensure maintenance or recovery of reactor vessel water level (coverage of the active fuel for heat removal, clad integrity, and for limiting peak clad temperature to < 22000F); and
2. Borationr to ensure recovery and maintenance of SDM (kNff < 1.O).

These functions are necessary to mitigate the effects of high energy lin'e breaks'(HELBs) both inside and outside of containment. The SI signal is also used to initiate other Functions such as:

These Functions are not required to be OPERABLE in MODES 5 and 6 because there is adequate time for the operator to evaluate unit conditions and respond by manually starting individual systems, pumps, and other equipment to mitigate the consequences of an abnormal condition or accident. Unit pressure and temperature are very low and many ESF components are administratively locked out or otherwise prevented from actuating to prevent inadvertent overpressurization of unit systems.

c. Safety Iniection - Containment Pressure - High 1 This signal provides protection against the following accidents:
  • SLB inside containment;
  • Feed line break inside containment.

Containment Pressure - High 1 provides no input to any control functions. Thus, three OPERABLE channels are sufficient to satisfy protective requirements with a two-out-of-three logic. The transmitters (d/p cells) and electronics are located outside of containment with the sensing line (high pressure side of the transmitter) located inside containment.

Thus, the high pressure Function will not experience any adverse environmental conditions and the Trip Setpoint reflects only steady state instrument uncertainties. The Trip Setpoint is *3.5 psig.

Thus, four OPERABLE channels are recjuired to satisfy the requirements with a two-out-of-four logic.

This Function is not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 3 below the P-11 setpoint. Other ESF functions are used to detect accident conditions and actuate the ESF systems in this MODE. In MODES 4, 5, and 6, this Function is not needed for accident detection and mitigation.

APPLICABILITY The containment spray actuation signal starts the containment spray pumps and aligns the discharge of the pumps to the containment spray nozzle headers in the upper levels of containment. Water is initially drawn from the RWST by the containment spray pumps. When the RWST reaches the low-low 2 level setpoint, the spray pump suctions are manually realigned to the containment recirculation sumps if continued containment spray is required. Containment spray is actuated by Containment Pressure-High 3.

a. Containment Spray - Manual Initiation The operator can initiate containment spray at any time from the control room by simultaneously turning two containment spray actuation switches in the same train.

Because an inadvertent actuation of containment spray could have such serious consequences, two switches must be turned simultaneously to initiate containment spray.

There are two sets of two switches each in the control room. Simultaneously turning the two switches in either set will actuate containment spray in both trains in the same manner as the automatic actuation signal. Two Manual Initiation switches in each train are required to be OPERABLE to ensure no single failure disables the Manual Initiation Function. Note that Manual Initiation of containment spray also actuates Phase B containment isolation.

b. Containment Spray -Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays (SSPS)

3. Containment Isolation Containment Isolation provides isolation of the containment atmosphere, and all process systems that penetrate containment, from the environment. This Function is necessary to prevent or limit the release of radioactivity to the environment in the event of a large break LOCA.

There are two separate Containment Isolation signals, Phase A and Phase B. Phase A isolation isolates all automatically isolable process lines, except component cooling water (CCW), at a relatively low containment pressure indicative of primary or secondary system leaks. For these types of events, forced circulation cooling using the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) and SGs is the preferred (but not required) method of decay heat removal. Since CCW is required to support RCP operation, not isolating CCW on the low pressure Phase A signal enhances unit safety by allowing operators to use forced RCS circulation to cool the unit. Isolating CCW on the low pressure signal may force the use of feed and bleed cooling, which could prove more difficult to control.

Phase A containment isolation is actuated automatically by SI, or manually via the automatic actuation logic. All process lines penetrating containment, with the exception of CCW, are isolated.

CCW is not isolated at this time to permit continued operation of the RCPs with cooling water flow to the thermal barrier heat exchangers, motor air coolers, and upper and lower bearing coolers. All process lines not equipped with remote operated isolation valves are manually closed, or otherwise isolated, prior to reaching MODE 4.

Manual Phase A Containment Isolation is accomplished by either of two switches in the control room. Either switch actuates both trains. Manual or automatic actuation of Phase A Containment Isolation also actuates Containment Purge Isolation.

The Phase B signal isolates CCW. This occurs at a relatively high containment pressure that is indicative of a large break LOCA or (continued)K' CALLAWAY PLANT B 3.3.2-15 Revision 5

As discussed in Reference 13, the Main Steam and Feedwater Isolation System (MSFIS) includes three redundant programmable logic controllers (PLCs) per logic train, arranged in a two-out-of-three voting configuration for each train. The three PLCs in each train operate in parallel, each receiving all of the input signals. Each of the outputs from each PLC drives a relay. The relay contacts are arranged in a two-out-of-three voting scheme, requiring that at least two PLCs agree upon the output before that train can initiate an isolation function. Each train requires a minimum of two PLCs to be OPERABLE.

Manual and automatic initiation of steam line isolation must be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 when there is sufficient energy in the RCS and SGs to have an SLB or other accident.

ESFAS Instrumentation B 3.3.2 BASES APPLICABLE 5. Turbine Trip and Feedwater Isolation SAFETY ANALYSES, The primary functions of the Turbine Trip and Feedwater Isolation LCO, AND signals are to prevent damage to the turbine due to water in the APPLICABILITY steam lines and to stop the excessive flow of feedwater into the (continued) SGs. These Functions are necessary to mitigate the effects of a high water level in the SGs, which could result in carryover of water into the steam lines and excessive cooldown of the primary system. The SG high water level is due to excessive feedwater flows.

The Function is actuated when the level in any SG exceeds the high high setpoint and performs the following functions:

- . Trips the main turbine;

  • Trips the MFW pumps, closing the pump discharge valves; and

. Initiates feedwater isolation.

This Function is actuated by SG Water Level - High High, or by an SI signal. The RTS also initiates a turbine trip signal whenever a K.

reactor trip (P4) is generated. In the event of SI, the unit is taken off line and the turbine generator must be tripped. The MFW System is also taken out of operation and the AFW System is automatically started. The SI signal was previously discussed.

While the above discussion applies to both turbine trip and feedwater isolation in response to excessive feedwater in MODES 1 and 2, feedwater isolation on SG low-low level is required for events in MODES 1, 2, and 3 where the assurance of AFW delivery to the intact steam generators is paramount in the accident analysis. The analyses for the Loss of Non-Emergency AC Power, Loss of Normal Feedwater, and Feedwater System Pipe Break events credit feedwater isolation on SG low-low level.

Given the location of the feedwater check valves inside containment downstream of the point where AFW connects to the main feedwater piping, closure of the main feedwater isolation valves (MFIVs) is required to assure AFW flow is not diverted.

The Applicable MODES for the feedwater isolation function on SG low-low level are consistent with those for the MFIVs (LCO 3.7.3) and AFW System (LCO 3.7.5).

Given the location of the feedwater line check valves inside containment downstream of the point where AFW connects to the main feedwater piping, closure of the MFIVs is required to assure AFW flow is not diverted. A feedwater line break or a loss of MFW would result in a loss of SG water level. SG Water Level - Low Low provides input to the SG Water Level Control System. Therefore, the actuation logic must be able to withstand both an input failure to the control system, which may then require a protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the protection function actuation.

Thus, four OPERABLE channels are required to satisfy the requirements with two-out-of-four logic (the Environmental Allowance Modifier (EAM) and Trip Time Delay (TTD) functions also use a two-out-of-four logic). Two-out-of-four low level signals in any SG initiates feedwater isolation. As discussed in Reference 11, the SG Water Level - Low Low trip Function has been modified to allow a lower Trip Setpoint under normal containment environmental conditions and a delayed trip when THERMAL POWER is less than or equal to 22.41% RTR The EAMITTD circuitry reduces the potential for inadvertent trips via the EAM, enabled on containment pressure exceeding its setpoint, and the TTD, enabling time delays dependent on vessel AT as listed in Table B 3.3.2-1.

The normal source of water for the AFW System is the condensate storage tank (CST). A loss of suction pressure, coincident with an auxiliary feedwater actuation signal (AFAS), will automatically realign the pump suctions to the safety related Essential Service Water (ESW) System.

This ensures that at least one SG is provided with water to serve as the heat sink to remove reactor decay heat and sensible heat in the event of an accident. In MODES 3, 4, and 5, the MFW pumps may be normally shut down, and thus pump trip is not indicative of a condition requiring automatic AFW initiation. Note (n) of Table 3.3.2-1 allows the blocking of this trip function just before shutdown of the last operating main feedwater pump and the restoration of this trip function just after the first main feedwater pump is put into service following its startup trip test. This limits the potential for inadvertent AFW actuations during normal startups and shutdowns.

Although only three channels would be sufficient, a fourth channel has been added for increased K<,

reliability.

The RWST - Low Low Trip Setpoint is selected to ensure switchover occurs before the RWST empties, to prevent ECCS pump damage.

The transmitters are located in an area not affected by HELBs or post accident high radiation. Thus, they will not experience any adverse environmental conditions and the Trip Setpoint reflects only steady state instrument uncertainties. The Trip Setpoint is 2 36% of span.

Automatic switchover occurs only if the RWST low low level signal is coincident with SI. This prevents accidental switchover during normal operation. Accidental switchover could damage ECCS pumps if they are attempting to take suction from an empty sump. The automatic switchover Function requirements for the SI Functions are the same as the requirements for their SI function. Therefore, the requirements are not repeated in Table 3.3.2-1. Instead, Function 1, SI, is referenced for all initiating Functions and requirements.

LCO, AND APPLICABILITY This Function must be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 when there is a potential for a LOCA to occur, to ensure a continued supply of water for the ECCS pumps.

'This Function is not required to be OPERABLE in MODES 5 and 6 because there is adequate time for the operator to evaluate unit conditions and respond by

.manually starting systems, pumps, and other equipment to mitigate the consequences of an abnormal condition or accident. System pressure and temperature are very low and many ESF components are administratively locked out or otherwise prevented from actuating to prevent inadvertent overpressurization of unit systems.

8. Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Interlocks To allow some flexibility in unit operations, several interlocks are included as part of the ESFAS. These interlocks permit the operator to block some signals, automatically enable other signals, prevent some actions from occurring, and cause other actions to occur. The interlock Functions back up manual actions to ensure bypassable functions are in operation under the conditions assumed in the safety analyses.
a. -Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System Interlocks -

Reactor Trip, P-4 The P-4 interlock is enabled when a reactor trip breaker (RTB) and its associated bypass breaker are open.

-;Manual reset of SI following a 60 second time delay, in conjunction with P4, generates an automatic SI block.

This Function allows operators to take manual control of SI
systems afterthe initial phase of injection is complete.

.*Once SI is blocked, automatic actuation of SI cannot occur until the RTBs have been manually closed.

The functions of the P4 interlock are:

- f Triips the main turbine;

  • Isolates MFW with coincident low Tang; (continued)

  • Prevents automatic reactuation of SI after a manual APPLICABILITY reset of SI;
  • Allows arming of the steam dump valves and transfers the steam dump from the load rejection Tars controller to the plant trip controller; and
  • Prevents opening of the MFW isolation valves if they were closed on SI or SG Water Level - High High.

Each of the above Functions is interlocked with P-4 to avert or reduce the continued cooldown of the RCS following a reactor trip. An excessive cooldown of the RCS following a reactor trip could cause an insertion of positive reactivity with a subsequent increase in core power. To avoid such a situation, the noted Functions have been interlocked with PA as part of the design of the unit control and protection system. The feedwater isolation function on-P4 with coincident low Tavg may be blocked using a bypass switch to prevent undue cycling of the FWIVs and AFW pumps.

None of the noted Functions serves a mitigation function in the unit licensing basis safety analyses. Only the turbine trip Function is explicitly assumed since it is an immediate consequence of the reactor trip Function. Neither turbine trip, nor any of the other four Functions associated with the reactor trip signal, is required to show that the unit licensing basis safety analysis acceptance criteria are met.

The RTB position switches that provide input to the P-4 interlock only function to energize or de-energize or open or close contacts. Therefore, this Function has no adjustable trip setpoint with which to associate a Trip Setpoint and Allowable Value.

This Function must be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 when the reactor may be critical or approaching criticality.

APPLICABLE 9. Automatic Pressurizer PORV Actuation (continued)

SAFETY ANALYSES, water relief through the pressurizer safety valves, which could APPLICABILITY result in the Condition II event degrading into a Condition III event if the safety valves did not reseat, is precluded if operator actions are taken within the times assumed in the Reference 15 analysis to terminate NCP flow and to assure at least one PORV is available for automatic pressure relief. The assumed operator action times conservatively bound the times measured during simulator exercises. Therefore, automatic PORV operation is an assumed safety function in MODES 1, 2, and 3. The PORVs are equipped with automatic actuation circuitry and manual control capability. The PORVs are considered OPERABLE in either the automatic or manual mode, as long as the automatic actuation circuitry is OPERABLE and the PORVs can be made available for automatic pressure relief by timely operator actions (Ref. 15) to open the associated block valves (if closed) and to assure the PORV handswitches are in the automatic operation position. The automatic mode is the preferred configuration, as this provides the required pressure relieving capability without reliance on operator actions.

a. Automatic Pressurizer PORV Actuation -Automatic Actuation Logic and Actuation Relays (SSPS)

Automatic actuation logic and actuation relays consist of the same features and operate in the same manner as described for Function 1.b, except that the LCO is not applicable in MODE 4 as discussed below for Function 9.b.

b. Automatic Pressurizer PORVActuation - Pressurizer Pressure - High This signal provides protection against an inadvertent ECCS actuation at power event. Pressurizer pressure provides both control and protection functions: input to the Pressurizer Pressure Control System, reactor trip, SI, and automatic PORV actuation. Therefore, the actuation logic must be able to withstand both an input failure to the control system, which may then require the protection function actuation, and a single failure in the other channels providing the protection function actuation. Thus, four OPERABLE channels are required to satisfy the requirements with a two-out-of-four opening logic. The Trip Setpoint is *2335 psig.

A.1 Condition A applies to all ESFAS protection functions.

Condition A addresses the situation where one or more channels or trains for one or more Functions are inoperable at the same time. The Required Action is to refer to Table 3.3.2-1 and to take the Required Actions for the protection functions affected. The Completion Times are those from the referenced Conditions and Required Actions.

None'of these signals has input to a control function. Thus,

  • two-out-of-three logic is necessary to meet acceptable protective requirements. 'However, a'two-out-of-three design would require tripping a failed channel. This is undesirable because a single failure would then cause spurious containment spray initiation. Spurious spray actuation is undesirable because of the cleanup problems presented. Therefore, these channels are designed with two-out-of-four logic so that a failed channel may be bypassed rather than tripped. Note that one channel may be bypassed and still satisfy the single failure criterion. Furthermore, with one channel bypassed, a single instrumentation channel failure will not spuriously initiate containment spray.

J.1 and J.2 Condition J applies to the AFW pump start on trip of all MFW pumps.

This action addresses the train orientation of the BOP ESFAS for the auto start function of the AFW System on loss of all MFW pumps.

K.1, K.2, K.3.1, and K.3.2 Condition K applies to:

  • RWST Level - Low Low Coincident with Safety Injection.

RWST Level - Low Low Coincident With SI provides actuation of switchover to the containment recirculation sumps. Note that this Function requires the bistables to energize to perform their required action. The failure of up to two channels will not prevent the operation of this Function. This Action Statement limits the duration that an RWST level channel could be tripped, due to its being inoperable or for testing, in order to limit the probability for automatic switchover to an empty containment sump upon receipt of an inadvertent safety injection signal (SIS), coincident with a single failure of another RWST level channel, or for premature switchover to the sump after a valid SIS.

If the inoperability impacts the Power-1 and Power-2 portions of the TTD circuitry (e.g., Vessel AT RTD failure), both the Power-1 and Power-2 bistables in the affected protection set(s) are placed in the tripped condition. However, if the inoperability is limited to either the Power-1 or Power-2 portion of the TTD circuitry, only the corresponding Power-1 or Power-2 bistable in the affected protection set(s) is placed in the tripped condition. With one or more TTD circuity delay timer(s) inoperable, both the Vessel AT (Power-1) and Vessel AT (Power-2) channels are tripped. This automatically enables a zero time delay for that protection channel with either the normal or adverse containment environment level bistable enabled.

A Note has been added to clarify that Table 3.3.2-1 determines which SRs REQUIREMENTS apply to which ESFAS Functions.

Note that each channel of process protection supplies both trains of the ESFAS. When testing channel 1,train A and train B must be examined.

Similarly, train A and train B must be examined when testing channel 11, channel Ill, and channel IV. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION and COTs are performed in a manner that is consistent with the assumptions used in analytically calculating the required channel accuracies.

A CHANNEL CHECK is normally a comparison of the parameter indicated on one channel to a similar parameter on other channels. It is based on the assumption that instrument channels monitoring the same parameter should read approximately the same value. Significant deviations between the two instrument channels could be an indication of excessive instrument drift im one of the-channels or of something even more serious. A CHANNEL \ :

CHECK will detect gross channel failure; thus, it is key to verifying the instrumentation continues to operate properly between each CHANNEL CALIBRATION.

Agreement criteria are determined by the unit staff, based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties, including indication and reliability. If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the sensor or the signal processing equipment has drifted outside its limit.

The Frequency is based on operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare. The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channels during normal operational use of the displays associated with the LCO required channels.

Response time verification acceptance criteria are included in Reference 9. No credit was taken in the safety analyses for those channels with response times listed as N.A. No response time testing requirements apply where N.A. is listed in Reference 9. Individual component response times are not modeled in the analyses. The analyses model the overall or total elapsed time, from the point at which the parameter exceeds the trip setpoint value at the sensor, to the point at which the equipment in both trains reaches the required functional state (e.g., pumps at rated discharge pressure, valves in full open or closed position). The safety analyses include the sum of the following response time components:

a. Process delay times (e.g., scoop transport delay and thermal lag associated with the narrow range RCS RTDs used in the SG low-low level Vessel AT (Power-1, Power-2) functions) which are not testable;

d. The time for the final actuation devices to reach the required functional state (e.g., valve stroke time, pump or fan spin-up time).

For channels that include-dynamic transfer functions (e.g., lag, lead/lag, rate/lag, etc.), -the'response time verification is performed with the time constants set at their nominal values. Time constants are verified during the performance of SR 3.3.2.9. The response time may be verified by a series of overlapping tests, or other verification (e.g., Ref. 10 and Ref. 14), such that the entire response time is verified.

Response time may be verified by actual response time tests in any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel measurements, or by the summation of allocated sensor,-signal processing, and actuation logic response times with actual response time tests on the remainder of the channel. Allocations for sensor response times may be obtained from:

(1) historical records based on acceptable response time tests (hydraulic, noise, or power interrupt tests); (2) inplace, onsite, or offsite (e.g. vendor) test measurements; or (3) utilizing vendor engineering specifications.

WCAP-13632-P-A Revision 2, "Elimination of Pressure Sensor Response Time Testing Requirements," provides the basis and methodology for using allocated sensorlresponse times-in the overall verification of the channel response time for specific sensors identified in the WCAP.

Response time verification for other sensor types must be demonstrated by test.

BDMS B 3.3.9 BASES APPLICABILITY In MODE 6, a dilution event-is precluded by locked valves'(BGV0178 and (continued) BGV0601) that isolate the RCS from the potential source of unborated water (according to LCO 3.9.2, "Unborated Water Source Isolation Valves"). , s ' ':;

TheApplicability is modified by' a Note that allows the boron dilution flux multiplication signal to be blocked during reactor startup in MODE 2 (below P-6 setpoint) and MODE 3. Blocking the flux multiplication signal is acceptable during startup provided the reactor trip breakers are closed with the intent to'commence the withdrawal of control banks for startup.

This Applicability Note can not be used to block BDMS prior to or during shutdown bank withdrawal. The P-6 interlock provides a backup block signal to the source range flux multiplication circuit.

ACTIONS The most common cause of channel inoperability is outright failure or drift of the bistable or process module sufficient to exceed the tolerance allowed by the unit specific calibration procedure. Typically, the drift is found to be small and results in a'delay of actuation rather than a total loss of function. 'This determination of setpoint drift is generally made during the performance of a COT when the process instrumentation is set up for adjustment to bring it to within specification. If the Trip Setpoint is less conservative than the tolerance specified by the calibration procedure, the channel must be declared inoperable immediately and the appropriate Condition entered.

A.1 With one train of the BDMS inoperable, Required Action A.1 requires that the inoperable train must be restored to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. In this Condition, the remaining BDMS train is adequate to

ACTIONS M (continued)

- Use of self-verification techniques by all licensed operators performing core reactivity manipulations;

- Peer checks for all reactivity manipulations during routine operations and for all positive reactivity additions during transient or off-normal operations;

- Off-normal procedures are available that address reactor makeup control system (RMCS) malfunctions and potential loss of shutdown margin (SDM).

During any and all rod motion, operators monitor all available indications of nuclear power. During RCS boron concentration change evolutions, operators observe the various indications and alarms provided in the RMCS design for monitoring proper system operation as discussed in FSAR Section 15.4.6 (Reference 1). Introduction of reactor makeup water into the RCS from the Chemical and Volume Control System mixing tee is not permitted when one BDMS train is inoperable.

B.1, B.2, B.3.1, and B.3.2 With two trains inoperable, or the Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A not met, the initial action (Required Action B.1) is to suspend all operations involving positive reactivity additions immediately. This includes withdrawal of control or shutdown rods and intentional boron dilution.

Required Action B.2 verifies the SDM according to SR 3.1.1.1 within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> and once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> thereafter. This action is intended to confirm that no unintended boron dilution has occurred while the BDMS was inoperable, and that the required SDM has been maintained. The specified Completion Time takes into consideration sufficient time for the initial determination of SDM and other information available in the control room related to SDM.

Required Action B.3.1 requires valves listed in LCO 3.9.2 (Required Action A.2), BGV0178 and BGV0601, to be secured to prevent the flow of unborated water into the RCS. Once it is recognized that two trains of the BDMS are inoperable, the operators will be aware of the possibility of a boron dilution, and the 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Completion Time is adequate to complete the requirements of LCO 3.9.2. The recurring 31 day verification of Required Action B.3.2 ensures these valves remain closed for an extended Condition B entry.

Required Action B.1 is-modified by a'Note which permits plant temperature'charnges provided the'temperature change is accounted for in the calculated SDM. Introduction of temperature changes, including temperature increases when a positive MTC exists, must be evaluated to

- ensure they do'not result in a loss of required SDM.

I C.1 and C.2 Condition C is entered with no RCS loop in operation. The operation of one RCS loop provides'adequate flow to ensure mixing, prevent stratification, and produce gradual reactivity changes during RCS boron concentration reductions. The reactivity change rate associated with boron reduction will, therefore, be within the transient mitigation capability of the Boron Dilution Mitigation System (BDMS). With no reactor coolant loop in operation, dilution sources must be isolated. The boron dilution analysis takes credit for the mixing volume associated with having at least one reactor coolant loop in operation.

Required Action C.1'requires that valves BGV0178 and BGV0601 be closed'and secured to prevent the flow of unborated water into the RCS.

Agreement criteria are determined by the unit staff based on a combination of the channel instrument uncertainties, including indication and readability. If a channel is outside the criteria, it may be an indication that the sensor or the signal processing equipment has drifted outside its limit.

The Frequency is based on operating experience that demonstrates channel failure is rare. The CHANNEL CHECK supplements less formal, but more frequent, checks of channels during normal operational use of the displays associated with the LCO required channels.

SR 3.3.9.2 SR 3.3.9.2 requires that valve BGV0178 be secured and closed prior to entry into MODE 5. Specification 3.9.2 requires that this valve also be secured and closed in MODE 6. Closing BGV0178 satisfies the boron dilution accident analysis assumption that flow orifice BGFOO010 limits \.>

the dilution flow rate to no more than 150 gpm in MODE 5. This Surveillance demonstrates that the valve is closed through a system walkdown. SR 3.3.9.2 is modified by a Note stating that it is only required to be performed in MODE 5. This Note requires that the surveillance be performed prior to entry into MODE 5 and every 31 days while in MODE 5. The 31 day frequency is based on engineering judgment and is considered reasonable in view of other administrative controls that will ensure that the valve opening is an unlikely possibility.

The Frequency of 92 days is'consistent with the requirements for source range channels in Reference 2.'

SR 3.3.9.4 SR 3.3.9.4 is the performance of a CHANNEL CALIBRATION every 18 months.. CHANNEL CALIBRATION is a complete check of the instrument loop, including the sensor. The test verifies that the channel responds to a measured parameter within the necessary range and accuracy. The SR is modified by a Note that neutron detectors are excluded from the CHANNEL CALIBRATION. Neutron detectors are excluded from the CHANNEL CALIBRATION because it is impractical to set up a test that demonstrates and adjusts neutron detector response to known values of the parameter (neutron flux) that the channel monitors.

The Note applies to the source range proportional counters in the Nuclear Instrumentation System (NIS).

The testing of the source range neutron detectors consists of obtaining integral bias curves, evaluating those curves, and comparing the curves previous data. The 18 month Frequency is based on operating experience and on the need to obtain integral bias curves under the conditions that apply during a plant outage. The other remaining portions of the CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed either during a plant outage or during plant operation.

SR 3.3.9.5 SR 3.3.9.5 is the performance of a response time test every 18 months to verify that, on a simulated or actual boron dilution flux multiplication signal, the centrifugal charging pump suction valves from the RWST open and the CVCS volume control tank discharge valves close in the required time of

Normal charging can accommodate a 3/8 inch break and maintain normal pressurizer level such that the ECCS is not actuated.

b. Unidentified LEAKAGE One galloh per minute (gpm) of unidentified LEAKAGE is allowed as a reasonable'minimum detectable amount that the containment air monitoring and containment sump level monitoring equipment can detect'within a reasonable time period. Violation of this LCO
could result incontinued degradation of the RCPB, if the LEAKAGE is from th'e pressure boundary.
c. Identified LEAKAGE Up to 10 gpm of identified LEAKAGE is considered allowable t . I. . ,

because LEAKAGE is from known sources that do not interfere I .  ! . I -:1  ;

.with detection of unidentified LEAKAGE and is well within the capability of the RCS Makeup System. Identified LEAKAGE includes LEAKAGE to the containment from specifically known and located sources, but does not include pressure boundary LEAKAGE or controlled reactor coolant pump (RCP)'seal leakoff (a normal function not considered LEAKAGE). RCP number 2 seal leak off is included in the measured identified LEAKAGE since it is directed to the RCDT along with other identified leakage sources; :Violation of this LCO could result in continued degradation of a component or system.

d. - Primary to Secondary LEAKAGE through All Steam Generators (SGs)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the potential for RCPB LEAKAGE is greatest when the RCS is pressurized.

In MODES 5 and 6, LEAKAGE limits are not required because the reactor coolant pressure is far lower, resulting in lower stresses and reduced potentials for LEAKAGE.

LCO 3.4.14, "RCS Pressure Isolation Valve (PIV) Leakage," measures leakage through each individual PIV and can impact this LCO. Of the two PIVs in series in each isolated line, leakage measured through one PIV does not result in RCS LEAKAGE when the other is leak tight. If both valves leak and result in a loss of mass from the RCS, the loss must be included in the allowable identified LEAKAGE.

ACTIONS A.1 Unidentified LEAKAGE, identified LEAKAGE, or primary to secondary LEAKAGE in excess of the LCO limits must be reduced to within limits within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. This Completion Time allows time to verify leakage rates and either identify unidentified LEAKAGE or reduce LEAKAGE to within limits before the reactor must be shut down. This action is necessary to prevent further deterioration of the RCPB.

B.1 and B.2 If any pressure boundary LEAKAGE exists, or if unidentified LEAKAGE, identified LEAKAGE, or primary to secondary LEAKAGE cannot be reduced to within limits within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, the reactor must be brought to lower pressure conditions to reduce the severity of the LEAKAGE and its potential consequences.

Verifying the correct alignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valves in the ECCS flow paths provides assurance that the proper flow paths will exist for ECCS operation. This SR does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, since these were verified tobe in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing. A valve that receives an actuation signal is allowed to be in a non-accident position provided the valve will automatically reposition within the proper stroke time. 'This SR does not require any testing or valve manipulation. Rather, it involves verification, through a system walkdown (which may include the use of local or remote indicators), that those valves capable of being mispositionred are in the correct position.

The 31 day Frequency is appropriate because the valves are operated under administrative control. This SR does not apply to valves that cannot be inadvertently misaligned, such as check valves and relief valves. Additionally, vent and drain valves are not within the scope of this SR.

REQUIREMENTS entrained gases. Maintaining the piping from the ECCS pumps to the RCS full of water by venting RHR and Si pump casings and accessible ECCS discharge piping high point vents ensures that the system will perform properly, injecting its full capacity into the RCS upon demand. In conjunction with or in lieu of venting, Ultrasonic Testing (UT) may be performed to verify ECCS pumps and associated piping are full of water.

The design of the centrifugal charging pump is such that significant noncondensible gases do not collect in the pump. Therefore, it is unnecessary. to require periodic pump casing venting to ensure the centrifugal charging pumps will remain OPERABLE. Accessible high point vents are those that can be reached without hazard or high radiation dose to personnel. This will also prevent water hammer, pump cavitation, and pumping of noncondensible gas (e.g., air, nitrogen, or hydrogen) into the reactor vessel following an Si signal or during shutdown cooling. The 31 day Frequency takes into consideration the gradual nature of gas accumulation in the ECCS piping and the procedural controls governing system operation.

SR 3.5.2.4 Periodic surveillance testing of ECCS pumps to detect gross degradation caused by impeller structural damage or other hydraulic component problems is required by Section Xl of the ASME Code. This type of testing may be accomplished by measuring the pump developed head at only one point of the pump characteristic curve. The ECCS pumps are required to develop the following differential pressures on recirculation flow: 1) centrifugal charging pumps 2 2400 psid; 2) safety injection pumps 2 1445 psid; and 3) RHR pumps 2 165 psid. This verifies both that the measured performance is within an acceptable tolerance of the original pump baseline performance and that the performance at the test flow is greater than or equal to the performance assumed in the plant safety analysis. SRs are specified in the applicable portions of the Inservice Testing Program, which encompasses Section Xl of the ASME Code. Section Xl of the ASME Code provides the activities and Frequencies necessary to satisfy the requirements.

SR 3.5.2.7 The correct position of throttle valves in the flow path is necessary for proper ECCS performance. These valves have mechanical stops to allow proper positioning for restricted flow to a ruptured cold leg, ensuring that the other cold legs receive at least the required minimum flow. The 18 month Frequency is based on the same reasons as those stated in SR 3.5.2.5 and SR 3.5.2.6.- The ECCS throttle valves are set to ensure proper flow resistance and pressure drop in the piping to each injection point in the event of a LOCAL Once set, these throttle valves are secured with locking devices and mechanical position stops. These devices help to ensure that the following safety analyses assumptions remain valid:

(1) both the maximum and minimum total system resistance; (2) both the maximum and minimum branch injection line resistance; and (3) the maximum and minimum ranges of potential pump performance. These resistances and pump performance ranges are used to calculate the maximum and minimum ECCS flows assumed in the LOCA analyses of Reference 3.

Containment B 3.6.1 BASES LCO Compliance with this LCO will ensure a containment configuration, (continued) including equipment hatches, that is structurally sound and that will limit leakage to those leakage rates assumed in the safety analysis.

Individual leakageirates specified for the containment air lock (LCO 3.6.2) and containment shutdown and mini-purge valves with resilient seals (LCO 3.6.3) are not specifically part of the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B. 'These leakage rates are specified in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. Therefore, leakage rates exceeding these individual limits only result in the containment

- being inoperable when the leakage results in exceeding the overall acceptance criteria of 1.0 La.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, a DBA could cause a release of radioactive material into containment. In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and

- consequences of these events are reduced due to the pressure and temperature limitations of these MODES. Therefore, containment is not required to be OPERABLE in MODE 5 to prevent leakage of radioactive material from containment. The requirements for containment during MODE 6 are addressed in LCO 3.9.4, "Containment Penetrations."

ACTIONS-.. A.1 In the event containment is inoperable, containment must be restored to OPERABLE status within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.

This time

-period also ensures that the probability of an accident (requiring containment OPERABILITY) occurring during periods when containment is inoperable is minimal. - -

B.1 and B.2 If containment cannot be restored to OPERABLE status'within'the required Completion Time, the plant must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply.: To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

Containment B 3.6.1 BASES (continued)

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.6.1.1 REQUIREMENTS Maintaining the containment OPERABLE requires compliance with the visual examinations and leakage rate test requirements of the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. The containment concrete visual examinations may be performed during either power operations, or during a maintenance/refueling outage. The visual examinations of the steel liner plate inside containment are performed during maintenance or refueling outages as this is the only time the liner plate is fully accessible.

Failure to meet air lock and purge valve with resilient seal leakage limits specified in LCO 3.6.2 and LCO 3.6.3 does not invalidate the acceptability of these overall leakage determinations unless their contribution to overall Type A, B, and C leakage causes that to exceed limits. As left leakage prior to the first startup after performing a required Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program leakage test is required to be < 0.6 La for combined Type B and C leakage and < 0.75 La for overall Type A leakage. At all other times between required leakage rate tests, the acceptance criteria is based on an overall Type A leakage limit of

  • 1.0 La. At 5 1.0 La the offsite dose consequences are bounded by the assumptions of the safety analysis.

SR Frequencies are as required by the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. These periodic testing requirements verify that the \

containment leakage rate does not exceed the leakage rate assumed in the safety analysis.

SR 3.6.1.2 This SR ensures that the structural integrity of the containment will be maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Containment Tendon Surveillance Program. Testing and Frequency are in accordance with ASME Code Section Xl, subsection IWL (Ref. 4), and applicable addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a..

B 3.7.3 Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs)

BASES BACKGROUND The MFIVs isolate main feedwater (MFW) flow to the secondary side of the steam generators following a high energy line break (HELB). The MFRVs function to control feedwater flow to the SGs.

The MFIV is a 14-inch gate valve with a system-medium actuator. The assumed single active failure of one of the redundant MFIV actuation trains will not prevent the MFIV from closing.

Closure of the MFIVs terminates flow to the steam generators, terminating the event for feedwater line breaks (FWLBs) occurring upstream of the MFIVs. The consequences of events occurring in the main steam lines or in the MFW lines downstream from the MFIVs will be mitigated by their closure. Closure of the MFIVs effectively terminates the addition of feedwater to an affected steam generator, limiting the mass and energy release for steam line breaks (SLBs) or FWLBs inside containment, and reducing the cooldown effects for SLBs.

The MFIVs isolate the nonsafety related portions from the safety related K portions of the system. In the event of a secondary side pipe rupture inside containment, the valves limit the quantity of high energy fluid that enters containment through the break, and provide a pressure boundary for the controlled addition of auxiliary feedwater (AFW) to the intact loops.

One MFIV is located on each MFW line, outside but close to containment.

The MFIVs are located upstream of the AFW injection point so that AFW may be supplied to the steam generators following MFIV closure. The piping volume from these valves to the steam generators is accounted for in calculating mass and energy releases, and refilled prior to AFW reaching the steam generator following either an SLB or FWLB.

The MFIVs close on receipt of any safety injection signal, a Tavg - Low coincident with reactor trip (P-4), a low-low steam generator level, or steam generator water level - high high signal. They may also be actuated manually. In addition to the MFIVs a check valve inside containment is available. The check valve isolates the feedwater line, penetrating containment, and ensures the pressure boundary of any intact loop not receiving auxiliary feedwater.

The MFIV actuators consist of two separate system-medium actuation trains each receiving an actuation signal from one of the redundant (continued)

' assurance of feedwater flow termination is provided by the SGFP trip function; however, this is'not credited in accident analysis. The accident analysis credits the main feedwater check valves as backup to the MFIVs to prevent SG blowdown for pipe ruptures in the non-seismic Category I portions of the feedwater system outside containment.

Criterion 3 of 10 CFR '50.36(c)(2)(iiH)indicates that components that are part of the primary success path and that actuate to mitigate an event that presents a challenge to a fission product barrier should be in Technical Specifications. The primary success path of a safety sequence analysis consists of the combination and sequences of equipment needed to operate (including consideration of the single failure criteria) so that the plant response' to the 'event remains within appropriate acceptance criteria. The' primary success path does not include backup and diverse equipment. The MFIVs, with their dual-redundant actuation trains, are the primary success path for feedwater isolation; the MFRVs, bypass valves, and the SGFP trip function aie backup and diverse equipment.

Therefore,'only the'MFIVs are incorporated into Technical Specifications.

MFIVs I B 3.7.3 BASES LCO Failure to meet the LCO requirements can result in additional mass and (continued) energy being released to containment following an SLB or FWLB inside containment. Afeedwater isolation signal on high steam generator level is relied on to terminate an excess feedwater flow event. I APPLICABILITY The MFIVs must be OPERABLE whenever there is significant mass and energy in the Reactor Coolant System and steam generators. This ensures that, in the event of an HELB, a single failure cannot result in the blowdown of more than one steam generator. In MODES 1, 2, and 3, the MFIVs are required to be OPERABLE to limit the amount of available fluid that could be added to containment in the case of a secondary system pipe break inside containment. When the MFIVs are closed they are performing their safety function.

In MODES 4, 5, and 6, steam generator energy is low. Therefore, the MFIVs are not required to mitigate the effects of a feedwater or steamline I break in these MODES.

SURVEILLANCE SR' '3.7.3.1 '

REQUIREMENTS This SR verifies that the closure time of each MFIV is < 15 seconds from each actuation train when tested pursuant to the Inservice Testing Program. The MFIV closure time is assumed in the accident and containment analyses. This Surveillance is normally performed upon returning the unit to operation following a refueling outage. These valves should not be tested at power since even a part stroke exercise increases the risk of a valve closure with the unit generating power.

The Frequency for this SR is in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program.

This test is conducted in MODE 3 with the unit at nominal operating temperature and pressure, as discussed in Reference 2. This SR is modified by a Note that allows entry into and operation in MODE 3 prior to performing the SR. This allows a delay of testing until MODE 3, to establish conditions consistent with those under which the acceptance criterion was generated.

SR 3.7.3.2 This SR verifies that each MFIV is capable of closure on an actual or simulated actuation signal. The manual fast close handswitch in the Control Room provides an acceptable actuation signal. Each actuation train must be tested separately. This Surveillance is normally performed upon returning the unit to operation following a refueling outage in conjunction with SR 3.7.3.1. However, it is acceptable to perform this surveillance individually.

The frequency of MFIV testing is every 18 months. The 18 month Frequency for testing is based on the refueling cycle. This Frequency is acceptable from a reliability standpoint. This SR is modified by a NOTE that allows entry into and operation in MODE 3 prior to performing the SR.

The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

E.1 If all three AFW trains are inoperable, the unit is in a seriously degraded condition with no safety related means for conducting a cooldown, and only limited means for conducting a cooldown with nonsafety related equipment. In such a condition, the unit should not be perturbed by any action, including a power change, that might result in a trip. The seriousness of this condition requires that action be started immediately to restore one AFW train to OPERABLE status.

Required Action E.1 is modified by a Note indicating that all required MODE changes or power reductions are suspended until one AFW train is restored to OPERABLE status. In this case, LCO 3.0.3 is not applicable because it could force the unit into a less safe condition.

CCW System B 3.7.7 B 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS _

B 3.7.7 Component Cooling Water (CCW) System -'-

BASES BACKGROUND The CCW System provides a heat sink for the removal of process and operating heat from safety related components during a Design Basis Accident (DBA) or transient. During normal operation, the CCW System also provides this function for various nonessential components, as well as the spent fuel storage pool. The CCWSystem serves as a barrier to the release of radioactive byproducts'between potentially radioactive systems and the Essential Service Water System, and thus to the environment.

The CCW System is arranged as two independent, full capacity cooling loops, and has isolatable nonsafety related components. Each safety related train includes two full capacity pumps, surge tank, heat exchanger, piping, valves, and instrumentation. Each safety related train is powered from a separate bus.-A vented surge tank in each loop functions to ensure that sufficient net positive suction head is available and to accommodate volumetric changes due to thermal transients or leakage.

One pump in each train is automatically started on receipt of a safety injection signal, and all nonessential components are isolated.

-Additional information on the design and operation of the system, along with a list of the components served,- is presented in the FSAR,

-Section 9.2.2 (Ref. 1). The principal safety related function of the CCW System is the removal of decay heat from the reactor via the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System. This may be during a normal or post accident cooldown and shutdown.

APPLICABLE .The design basis of the CCW System is for one CCW train to remove the

- SAFETY heat from components important to mitigating the consequences of a loss ANALYSES of coolant accident (LOCA) or a main steam line break (MSLB). The maximum CCW temperature post LOCAis 131OF'(Ref. 2)..

The CCW System'is-designed to perform its function with a single failure of any active component, assuming a loss of offsite power.

-- The COW Systeni also functions to 'cool the unit from RHR entry conditions (Taj9 <3500F), to MODE 5 (Tavg. < 2000 F), during normal and post accident operations. The time' required to cool from 3500 F to 200OF is a function of the number of CCW and RHR trains operating. One CCW train is sufficient to remove decay heat during subsequent operations with (continued)

CCW System B 3.7.7 BASES APPLICABLE Tavg. 2001F. This assumes a maximum service water temperature of SAFETY 950 F occurring simultaneously with the maximum heat loads on the ANALYSES system.

The CCW System satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 (c)(2)(ii).

LCO The CCW trains are independent of each other to the degree that each has separate controls and power supplies and the operation of one does not depend on the other. In the event of a DBA, one CCW train is required to provide the minimum heat removal capability assumed in the safety analysis for the systems to which it supplies cooling water. To ensure this requirement is met, two trains of CCW must be OPERABLE.

At least one CCW train will operate assuming the worst case single active failure occurs coincident with a loss of offsite power.

A CCW train is considered OPERABLE when:

a. One pump and associated surge tank are OPERABLE; and
b. The associated piping, valves, heat exchanger, and instrumentation and controls required to perform the safety related.

function are OPERABLE.

A CCW train is rendered inoperable when one or more associated ESW emergency makeup valves are closed, inoperable and not capable of being remotely opened from the Control Room. CCW Train 'A' emergency makeup valves include EGHV0011 and EGHV0013. CCW Train 'B' emergency makeup valves include EGHV0012 and EGHV0014.

The isolation of CCW from other components or systems not required for safety may render those components or systems inoperable but does not affect the OPERABILITY of the CCW System.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the CCW System is a normally operating system, which must be prepared to perform its post accident safety functions, primarily RCS heat removal, which is achieved by cooling the RHR heat exchanger.

In MODES 5 and 6, the CCW system is capable of performing its specified safety function when required for Operability of the system it

I.

BASES - -' '

BACKGROUND The UHS provides a heat sink for processing and operating heat from safety related components during a transient or accident, as well as during normal operation.' This is done by utilizing the Essential Service Water System (ESW). - I The two principal functions of the UHS are the dissipation of residual heat after reactor shutdown, and dissipation of residual heat after an accident.

The UHS consists of a 4-cell seismic Category I mechanical draft cooling tower and a seismic Category I source of makeup water (retention pond) for the tower. Heat from the ESW system as discussed in FSAR Section 9.2.5, is rejected to the UHS to permit a safe shutdown of the plant following an accident. The UHS furnishes approximately 15,000 gpm of cooling water at a maximum temperature of 950 F to remove the heat loads of the components listed in the Standard Plant FSAR Section 9.2.5.

- The mechanical draft cooling tower is a safety related, seismic Category I structure sized with 100 percent redundancy to provide heat dissipation for safe shutdown following an accident. 'The cooling tower is protected from horizontal and vertical tornado missiles. The supply headers and spray pipes for each train of the ESW System from the Power Block are separated by interior walls. A passive failure of the spray pipe for one train will not affect the opposite train.

- -The approximate dimensions'of the UHS retention pond are 330 by 680

- feet and the sides slopes are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. The side slopes are protected by riprap from the surrounding grade elevation. Two submerged, reinforced concrete discharge structures discharge water into the pond from the mechanical draft cooling tower. A reinforced concrete outlet structure is provided for outflow from the pond.

Additional information on the design and operation of the system, along with a list of components served, can be found in Reference 1.

APPLICABLE The UHS is sized to dissipate the maximum heat loads listed in Standard SAFETY ' ' Plant FSAR Section 9.2.5 while providing a cold water temperature less ANALYSES than or equal to 950F. It is assumed that the design basis accident occurs

ANALYSES (continued) The minimum required level is 13.25 feet from the bottom of the UHS (38 acre-feet). Less than 24 acre-feet is needed to provide a 30 day supply of cooling and makeup water post LOCA under maximum evaporation condition for this period. The total pond water volume remaining after 30 days is 14.7 acre-feet. The useable portion of this volume is 12.4 acre-feet, which is the volume of water above the minimum level needed to maintain the NPSH for the ESW pumps. The remaining volume provides a margin that is greater than 50% of the total water volume requirement. The UHS was analyzed for the design basis LOCA in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.27 (Ref. 2).

I The UHS satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 (c)(2)(ii).

LCO The UHS is required to be OPERABLE and is considered OPERABLE if it contains a sufficient volume of water at or below the maximum temperature that would allow the ESW system to operate for at least 30 days following the design basis LOCA without the loss of net positive suction head (NPSH), and without exceeding the maximum design temperature of the equipment served by the ESW system. To meet this condition, the UHS temperature should not exceed 900 F and the level should not fall below 13.25 feet from the bottom of the UHS (831.25 ft mean sea level) during normal unit operation.

In addition, two UHS cooling tower trains (2 cells per train) are required to dissipate the heat contained in the ESW system. An inoperable UHS cooling tower electrical room supply fan renders its UHS cooling tower train inoperable. The UHS is not inoperable if a UHS sump heater is inoperable unless ice formation blocks the return line to the UHS pond.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the UHS is required to support the OPERABILITY of the ESW system and required to be OPERABLE in these MODES.

--BACKGROUI ND The CREVS provides a protected environment from which operators can

The CREVS consists of two independent,'redundant trains that pressurize, recirculate, and filter the control room air.- Each CREVS train consists of a filtration system train and a pressurization. system train. Each filtration system train consists of a fan, a'prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air

.. .. ,; t (HEPA) filter, an'activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of

gaseous activity (principally iodines),' and a second HEPA filter follows the adsorb'er section to collect carbon fines. Each pressurization system train

.: ' . . .: '. '(principally iodines),"and 'a'second HEPA filter follows the adsorber section to collect-arbon fines: Ductwork,'valves or dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the CREVS system.

The CREVS is an emergency system which may also operate during normal unit operations. Upon receipt of the actuating signal, normal air

.supply and exhaust to the control room-is isolated, a portion of the I

- ventilation air isrecirculated through the system filter trains, and the pressurization system is started. The prefilters remove any large particles in the air, and a moisture separator removes any entrained water droplets present, to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each pressurization system train for at least 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> per month, with the heaters functioning, reduces moisture buildup on the HEPA filters and adsorbers. The heaters are important to the' effectiveness of the charcoal adsorbers.

Actuation of the CREVS by a Control Room Ventilation Isolation Signal (CRVIS),'places the system in'the eriergency mode of operation.

Actuation of the system to the emerge'ncy mode of operation closes the unfiltered outside air'intake and unfiltered exhaust dampers, and aligns the system for recirculation of the control room air through the redundant trains of HEPA and the charcoal filters. The emergency (CRVIS) mode also initiates pressurization and filtered ventilation of the air supply to the control room.- ' - '-

The control room pressurization system draws in outside air, processing it through a particulate filter charcoal adsorber train for cleanup. This outside air is diluted with air drawn from the cable spreading rooms and the electrical equipment floor levels within the Control Building and distributed back into those spaces for further dilution. The control room KJ filtration units take a portion of air from the exhaust side of the (continued)

CREVS B 3.7.10 BASES BACKGROUND system, upstream of the outside air intake, for dilution with portions of the (continued) exhaust air from the control room air-conditioning system and processes it through the control room filtration system adsorption train for additional cleanup. This air is then further diluted with the remaining control room air-conditioning system return air, cooled, and supplied to the control room. This process will maintain the control room under a positive pressure of 1/8 inch water gauge (min.) with respect to the outside atmosphere. This will assure exfiltration from the control room, thus preventing any unprocessed contaminants from entering the control room.

The air entering the control building during normal operation is continuously monitored by radiation, carbon dioxide/monoxide, and smoke detectors. A high radiation signal initiates the emergency (CRVIS) mode of operation; the other detectors provide an alarm in the control room. A CRVIS is initiated by the radiation monitors (GKRE0004 and GKRE0005), Fuel Building Ventilation Isolation Signal, Containment Isolation Phase A, the containment purge exhaust radiation monitors (GTRE0022 and GTRE0033), and manually. The instrumentation associated with actuation of the CREVS is addressed in LCO 3.3.7, "Control Room Emergency Ventilation System (CREVS) Actuation Instrumentation."

A single train is capable of pressurizing the control room to 2 0.125 inchesK>

water gauge. The CREVS operation in maintaining the control room habitable is discussed in the FSAR, Section 6.4 (Ref. 1).

Redundant pressurization and filtration trains provide the required filtration should an excessive pressure drop develop across the other filter train. Normally open isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that the failure of one damper to shut will not result in a breach of isolation. The CREVS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements.

The CREVS is designed to maintain the control room environment for 30 days of continuous occupancy after a Design Basis Accident (DBA) without exceeding a 5 rem whole body dose or its equivalent to any part of the body.

APPLICABLE The CREVS components are arranged in redundant, safety related SAFETY ventilation trains. The location of components and ducting within the ANALYSES control room envelope ensures an adequate supply of filtered air to all areas requiring access. The CREVS provides airborne radiological protection for the control room operators, as demonstrated by the control room accident dose analyses for the most limiting design basis loss of (continued)

The CREVS satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 (c)(2)(ii).

-LCO Two independent and redundant CREVS trains are required to be OPERABLE toWensure that at least one is available assuming a single failure disables the other train. Total system failure could result in exceeding a dose of 5 rem to the control room operator in the event of a large radioactive release.

The CREVS is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to limit operator exposure are OPERABLE in both trains. A CREVS train is 'OPERABLE when the'associated:

- - a. Control Room Air Conditioner, filtration and pressurization fans are OPERABLE;.

b. HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers are not excessively restricting flow, and are capable of performing their filtration functions;
c. Heater, moisture separator, ductwork, valves, and dampers are OPERABLE, and air circulation can be maintained.

In addition, the control room pressure boundary must be maintained,

'including the integrity of the walls, floors, ceilings, ductwork, and access

The LCO is modified by a Note allowing the control room boundary to be

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, CREVS must be OPERABLE to control operator exposure during and following a LOCA or SGTR.

In MODE 5 or 6, the CREVS is required to cope with the design basis release from the rupture of a waste gas decay tank.

During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the CREVS must be OPERABLE to cope with the release from a design basis fuel handling accident inside containment or in the fuel building.

ACTIONS A.1 When one CREVS train is inoperable, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days. In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE CREVS train is adequate to perform the control room protection function. However, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE CREVS train could result in loss of CREVS function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and ability of the remaining train to provide the required capability.

B.1 If the control room boundary is inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 such that neither CREVS train can establish the required positive pressure (but the trains are not otherwise inoperable), action must be taken to restore an OPERABLE control room boundary within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

CREVS B 3.7.1 0 BASES ACTIONS E.1 and E.2 (continued)

In MODE 5 or 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, with two CREVS trains inoperable, action must be taken immediately to suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might enter the control room. This places the unit in a condition that minimizes accident risk. This does not preclude the movement of fuel to a safe position.

F.1 If both CREVS trains are inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, for reasons other than an inoperable control room boundary (i.e., Condition B), the CREVS may not be capable of performing the intended function and the unit is in a condition outside the accident analyses. Therefore, LCO 3.0.3 must be entered immediately.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.10.1 REQUIREMENTS Standby systems should be checked periodically to ensure that they function properly. As the environment and normal operating conditions on this system are not severe, testing each train once every month, by initiating from the control room, flow through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers of both the filtration and pressurization systems, provides an adequate check of this system.

Monthly heater operations dry out any moisture accumulated in the charcoal from humidity in the ambient air. Each pressurization system train must be operated for 2 10 continuous hours with the heaters functioning. Functioning heaters will not necessarily have the heating elements energized continuously for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />; but will cycle depending on the air temperature. Each filtration system train need only be operated for 2 15 minutes to demonstrate the function of the system. The 31 day Frequency is based on the reliability of the equipment and the two train redundancy availability.

SR 3.7.10.2 This SR verifies that the required CREVS testing is performed in accordance with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP).

The CREVS filter tests use the test procedure guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Ref. 3). The VFTP includes testing the performance of the HEPA filter, charcoal adsorber efficiency, minimum flow rate, and the (continued) of CALLAWAY PLANT B 3.7.10-6 Revision 5

CREVS B 3.7.10 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.10.2 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS physical properties of the activated charcoal. Specific test Frequencies and additional information are discussed in detail in the VFTP.

SR 3.7.10.3 This SR verifies that each CREVS train starts and operates on an actual or simulated actuation signal. The actuation signal includes Control Room Ventilation Isolation or Fuel Building Ventilation Isolation. The CREVS train automatically switches on an actual or simulated CRVIS signal into a CRVIS mode of operation with flow through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber banks. The Surveillance Requirement also verifies that a control room ventilation isolation signal (CRVIS) will be received by the LOCA sequencer to enable an automatic start of the Diesel Generator loads that are associated with a CRVIS. Verification that these loads will start and operate at the appropriate step in the LOCA sequencer and that other auto-start signals for these loads will be inhibited until the LOCA sequencer is reset is accomplished under Surveillance Requirement SR 3.8.1.12. The Frequency of 18 months is consistent with the typical operating cycle. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 18 month frequency. Therefore, the Frequency is acceptable from a reliability standpoint.

SR 3.7.10.4 This SR verifies the integrity of the control room enclosure, and the assumed inleakage rates of the potentially contaminated air. The control room positive pressure, with respect to the outside atmosphere, is periodically tested to verify proper functioning of the CREVS. During the CRVIS mode of operation, the CREVS is designed to pressurize the control room 2 0.125 inches water gauge positive pressure with respect to the outside atmosphere in order to prevent unfiltered inleakage. The CREVS is designed to maintain this positive pressure with one train. The Frequency of 18 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS is consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-0800 (Ref. 4).

Following a safety injection signal (SIS), safety related dampers is6late the auxiliary building, and the Emergency Exhaust I ~I  :- .- System exhausts'potentially contaminated air due to leakage from ECCS systems.' The Emergency Exhaust System also can filter airborne radioactive particulates from the area of the fuel pool following a fuel I:' handling accident.

I I .. I The Emergency Exhaust System'consists of two independent and redundant trains.' Each train consists of a heater, a prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter bank, an activated charcoal adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodines), and a fan. Ductwork, dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the system. A second bank of.HEPA filters follows the adsorber section to collect carbon fines.

The Emergency Exhaust System is on standby for an automatic start

>,IK following receipt of a fuel building ventilation isolation signal (FBVIS) or a

'safety injection'signal (SIS).' Initiation of the SIS mode of operation takes precedence over any other mode of operation. In the SIS mode, the system is aligned to exhaust the auxiliary building. The instrumentation associated with actuation of the SIS mode of operation is addressed in LCO 3.3.2, ESFAS Instrumentation.

Upon receipt of a fuel building ventilation-isolation signal generated by gaseous radioactivity monitors in the fuel building exhaust line, normal air discharges from the building are terminated, the fuel building is isolated, the stream of ventilation air discharges through the system filter trains, anda control room ventilation isolation signal (CRVIS) is generated. The instrumentation associated with actuation of the FBVIS mode of operation is addressed in LCO 3.3.8, EES Actuation Instrumentation.

Emergency Exhaust System B 3.7.13 RASES (continued) _,J APPLICABLE The Emergency Exhaust System design basis is established by the SAFETY consequences of two Design Basis Accidents (DBAs), which are a loss of ANALYSES coolant accident (LOCA) and a fuel handling accident (FHA). The analysis of the fuel handling accident, given in Reference 4, assumes that all fuel rods in an assembly are damaged. The analysis of the LOCA assumes that radioactive materials leaked from the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) and Containment Spray System during the recirculation mode are filtered and adsorbed by the Emergency Exhaust System. The DBA analysis of the fuel handling accident and of the LOCA assumes that only one train of the Emergency Exhaust System is functional due to a single failure that disables the other train. The accident analysis accounts for the reduction in airborne radioactive material provided by the one remaining train of this filtration system. The amount of fission products available for release from the fuel building is determined for a fuel handling accident and for a LOCA. These assumptions and the analysis follow the guidance provided in Regulatory Guides 1.4 (Ref. 6) and 1.25 (Ref. 5).

The Emergency Exhaust System satisfies Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 (c) (2) (ii).

, LCO Two independent and redundant trains of the Emergency Exhaust Systerr >

are required to be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one train is available, assuming a single failure that disables the other train. Total system failure could result in the atmospheric release from the auxiliary building or fuel building exceeding regulatory release limits in the event of a LOCA or fuel handling accident.

In MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4 the Emergency Exhaust System (EES) is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to control releases from the auxiliary building are OPERABLE in both trains (i.e., the components required for the SIS mode of operation and the auxiliary building pressure boundary). During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel building, the EES is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to control releases from the fuel building are OPERABLE in both trains (i.e. the components required for the FBVIS mode of operation and the fuel building pressure boundary).

The Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

D.1 and D.2 With one Emergency Exhaust System train inoperable during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in the fuel building, the OPERABLE Emergency Exhaust System train must be immediately started in the FBVIS mode per Required Action D.1.

Emergency Exhaust System B 3.7.13 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.13.2 REQUIREMENTS (continued) This SR verifies that the required Emergency Exhaust System filter testing is performed in accordance with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP). The Emergency Exhaust System filter tests are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Ref. 7). The VFTP includes testing HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, minimum system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal.

Specific test frequencies and additional information are discussed in detail in the VFTP.

SR 3.7.13.3 This SR verifies that each Emergency Exhaust System train starts and operates on an actual or simulated actuation signals. These actuation signals include a Safety Injection Signal (applicable in MODE 1, 2, 3 and 4) and high radiation signal from the Fuel Building Exhaust Radiation l

- Gaseous channels (applicable during movement of irradiated fuel in the I fuel building). The 18 month Frequency is consistent with the typical operating cycle. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the Surveillance when performed at the 18 month frequency.

Therefore, the Frequency is acceptable from a reliability standpoint.

During emergency operations the Emergency Exhaust System will automatically start in either the SIS or FBVIS lineup depending on the initiating signal. In the SIS lineup, the fans operate with dampers aligned to exhaust from the Auxiliary Building and prevent unfiltered leakage. In the FBVIS lineup, which is initiated on a high radiation signal from the Fuel Building Exhaust Radiation - Gaseous channels, the fans operate with the dampers aligned to exhaust from the Fuel Building to prevent unfiltered leakage. Normal exhaust air from the Fuel Building is continuously monitored by radiation detectors. One detector output will automatically align the Emergency Exhaust System in the FBVIS mode of operation. This surveillance requirement demonstrates that each Emergency Exhaust System train can be automatically started and properly configured to.the FBVIS or SIS alignment, as applicable, upon receipt of an actual or simulated SIS signal and an FBVIS signal. It is not required that each Emergency Exhaust System train be started from both actuation signals during the same surveillance test provided each actuation signal is tested independently within the 18 month test frequency.

., , ,, I Microbiological fouling is a major cause of fuel oil degradation. There are numerous bacteria that can grow in fuel oil and cause fouling, but all must have a water environment in order to survive. Removal of water from the fuel oil day tanks once every 31 days eliminates the necessary environment for bacterial survival. -This is the most effective means of controlling microbiological fouling. In addition, it eliminates the potential for water entrainment in the fuel oil during DG operation. Water may

. . . come from any of several sources, including condensation, ground water, rain water, contaminated fuel oil, and breakdown of the fuel oil by bacteria. Frequent checking for and removal of accumulated water minimizes fouling and provides data regarding the watertight integrity of the fuel oil system.

SR 3.8.1.8 Not Used SR 3.8.1.9 Not Used SR 3.8.1.10 This Surveillance demonstrates the DG capability to reject a full load without overspeed tripping or exceeding the predetermined voltage limits.

The DG full load rejection may occur because of a system fault or inadvertent breaker tripping. This Surveillance ensures proper engine generator load response under the simulated test conditions. This test >

simulates the loss of the total connected load that the DG experiences following a full load rejection and verifies that the DG does not trip upon loss of the load. These acceptance criteria provide for DG damage protection. While the DG is not expected to experience this transient during an event and continues to be available, this response ensures that the DG is not degraded for future application, including reconnection to the bus if the trip initiator can be corrected or isolated.

In order to ensure that the DG is tested under load conditions that are as close to design basis conditions as possible, testing must be performed using a power factor 2 0.8 and 5 0 9. This power factor is chosen to be representative of the actual design basis inductive loading that the DG would experience.

-Q ~ME*S The reeiirem6rits of the "Single-Load Rejection Test" and the "Full-Load Rejection Test" as described in Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 3 have been c6mbined. 'The "Full-Load Rejection Test" is a demonstration of the

-emergencydiesel generator's capability to reject a load equal to 90 to 100 percent of its continubus rating;(5580-6201 kilowatts) while operating at a power factor between 0.8 and 0.9 'and that the voltage does not exceed

4784 vblts-and that the frequency does not exceed 65.4 Hertz following a load rejection of 5580 to 6201 kilowatts. The frequency criteria is from the "Single-Load Rejection Test" and is based on nominal engine speed plus 75 percent of the difference between nominal speed and the over-speed trip setpoint (Refs.13 and 15).

The ESW pumip;, Istarting transient during the LOCA sequencing test, will be demonstrated to be within a minimum voltage of 3120 Vac and to recover to 3680 Vac within 3 seconds and to be within a maximum voltage of 4784 Vac and recover to 4320 Vac within 2 seconds. This is based on Regulatory Guide 1.9 Revision 3 Section 1.4 and past trending of ESW pump starting transient performance (Refs. 14 and 15).

SR 3.8.1.11; As required by Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Ref. 9), paragraph 2.a.(1), this Surveillance demonstrates the as designed operation of the standby power s6urces during loss of the 6ffsite source. This test verifies all actions encountered from the loss of offsite power, including shedding of the nonessential loads and energization of the emergency buses and respective loads'from the DG. It further demonstrates the capability of the DG to automatically achieve the required voltage and frequency within the specified time.

The DG autostart time of 12 seconds is derived from requirements of the accident analysis to respond to a'design basis large break LOCA. The Surveillance should be continued for a minimum of 5 minutes in order to demonstrate that all starting transients have decayed and stability is

-achieved.

The requirement toverify the connection and power supply of permanent and autoconnected loads is intended to satisfactorily show the relationship of these loads to the DG loading logic. In certain circumstances, many of these loads cannot actually be connected or loaded without undue hardship or potential for undesired operation.

REQUIREMENTS not desired to be stroked open, or high pressure injection systems are not capable of being operated at full flow, or residual heat removal (RHR) systems performing a decay heat removal function are not desired to be realigned to the ECCS mode of operation. In lieu of actual demonstration of connection and loading of loads, testing that adequately shows the capability of the DG systems to perform these functions is acceptable.

This testing may include any series of sequential, overlapping, or total steps so that the entire connection and loading sequence is verified.

The Frequency of 18 months is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Ref. 9), paragraph 2.a.(1), takes into consideration unit conditions required to perform the Surveillance, and is intended to be consistent with expected fuel cycle lengths.

This SR is modified by two Notes. The reason for Note 1 is to minimize wear and tear on the DGs during testing. For the purpose of this testing, the DGs must be started from standby conditions, that is, with the engine coolant and oil continuously circulated and temperature maintained consistent with manufacturer recommendations. The reason for Note 2 is that performing the Surveillance would remove a required offsite circuit from service, perturb the electrical distribution system, and challenge J safety systems.

The Note 2 restriction from normally performing the Surveillance in MODE 1 or 2 is further amplified to allow portions of the Surveillance to be performed for the purpose of reestablishing OPERABILITY (e.g., post-work testing following corrective maintenance, corrective modification, deficient or incomplete surveillance testing, and other unanticipated OPERABILITY concerns) provided an assessment determines plant safety is maintained or enhanced. This assessment shall, as a minimum, consider the potential outcomes and transients associated with a failed partial Surveillance, a successful partial Surveillance, and a perturbation of the offsite or onsite system when they are tied together or operated independently for the partial Surveillance; as well as the operator procedures available to cope with these outcomes. These shall be measured against the avoided risk of a plant shutdown and startup to determine that plant safety is maintained or enhanced when portions of the Surveillance are performed in MODE 1 or 2. Risk insights or deterministic methods may be used for this assessment.

SR 3.8.1.13 This Surveillance demonstrates that DG noncritical protective functions are bypassed on a loss of voltage signal concurrent with safety injection signal. The noncritical trips are bypassed during DBAs and provide an alarm on an abnormal engine condition. This alarm provides the operator with sufficient time to react appropriately.

REQUIREMENTS This SR is modified by two Notes. Note 1 ensures that the test is performed with the diesel sufficiently hot. The load band is provided to avoid routine overloading of the DG. Routine overloads may result in more frequent teardown inspections in accordance with vendor recommendations in order to maintain DG OPERABILITY. The requirement that the diesel has operated for at least 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> at full load conditions prior to performance of this Surveillance is based on manufacturer recommendations for achieving hot conditions. Momentary transients due to changing bus loads do not invalidate this test. Note 2 allows all DG starts to be preceded by an engine prelube period to minimize wear and tear on the diesel during testing.

SR 3.8.1.16 As required by Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Ref. 9), paragraph 2.a.(6), this Surveillance ensures that the manual synchronization and automatic load transfer from the DG to the offsite source can be made and the DG can be returned to ready to load status when offsite power is restored. It also ensures that the autostart logic is reset to allow the DG to reload if a subsequent loss of offsite power occurs.

The DG is considered to be in ready to load status when the DG is at rated speed and voltage, the output breaker is open and can receive an autoclose signal on bus undervoltage, and the load sequence timers are reset.

The Frequency of 18 months is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Ref. 9), paragraph 2.a.(6), and takes into consideration unit conditions required to perform the Surveillance.

This SR is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is that performing the Surveillance would remove a required offsite circuit from service, perturb the electrical distribution system, and challenge safety systems.

The restriction from normally performing the Surveillance in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4 is further amplified to allow the Surveillance to be performed for the purpose of reestablishing OPERABILITY (e.g., post-work testing following corrective maintenance, corrective modification, deficient or incomplete surveillance testing, and other unanticipated OPERABILITY concerns) provided an assessment determines plant safety is maintained or enhanced.

SR '3.8.1.17 Demonstration of the test mode override ensures that the DG availability under accident conditions will not be'comrpromised as the result of testing and the DG will automatically reset to ready to load operation if a safety injection signal is received during operation in the test mode. Ready to load operation is'defined as the'DG running at rated speed and voltage with the DG'output breaker open. These provisions for automatic switchover are required by IEEE-308 (Ref. 13), paragraph 6.2.6(2).

The requirement to automatically energize the emergency loads with offsite power is essentially identical to that of SR 3.8.1.12. The intent in the requirement associated with SR 3.8.1.17.b is to show that the emergency loading was not affected by the DG operation in test mode.

B 3.8.2 AC Sources - Shutdown BASES BACKGROUND A description of the AC sources is provided in the Bases for LCO 3.8.1, "AC Sources -Operating."

APPLICABLE The OPERABILITY of the minimum AC sources during MODES 5 and 6 SAFETY ensures that:

ANALYSES

a. The unit can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended periods;
b. Sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status; and
c. Adequate AC electrical power is provided to mitigate events postulated during shutdown, such as a fuel handling accident.

In general, when the unit is shut down; the Technical Specifications requirements ensure that the unit has the capability to mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents. However, assuming a single failure and concurrent loss of all offsite or all onsite power is not required.

The rationale for this is based on the fact that many Design Basis Accidents (DBAs) that are analyzed in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 have no specific analyses in MODES 5 and 6. Worst case bounding events are deemed not credible in MODES 5 and 6 because the energy contained within the reactor pressure boundary, reactor coolant temperature and pressure, and the corresponding stresses result in the probabilities of occurrence being significantly reduced or eliminated, and in minimal consequences. These deviations from DBA analysis assumptions and design requirements during shutdown conditions are allowed by the LCO for required systems.

During MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, various deviations from the analysis assumptions and design requirements are allowed within the Required Actions. This allowance is in recognition that certain testing and maintenance activities must be conducted provided an acceptable level of risk is not exceeded. During MODES 5 and 6, performance of a significant number of required testing and maintenance activities is also required. In MODES 5 and 6, the activities are generally planned and administratively controlled. Relaxations from MODE 1, 2, 3, and 4 LCO requirements are acceptable during shutdown modes based on:

The containment equipment hatch may be open during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment or CORE ALTERATIONS provided the hatch is capable of being closed and the water level in the refueling pool is maintained in accordance with FSAR Section 16.9.4 or TS 3.9.7. FSAR 16.9.4 requires that at least 23 feet of water is maintained over the top of the irradiated fuel assemblies within the reactor pressure vessel while in MODE 6 and during movement of control rods within the reactor pressure vessel. TS 3.9.7 requires the refueling pool water level to be maintained 2 23 feet above the top of the reactor vessel flange during the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment.

Administrative controls include 1) appropriate personnel are aware of the open status of the containment during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment or CORE ALTERATIONS, 2) specified individuals are designated and readily available to close the containment equipment hatch following an evacuation that would occur in the event of a fuel handling accident, and 3) any obstructions (e.g., cables and hoses),

that would prevent rapid closure of the containment equipment hatch can be quickly removed. Administrative controls also ensure that during CORE ALTERATIONS or during the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment and when the containment equipment hatch is open, the Containment Purge and Exhaust System is in service; the trip setpoint function for the purge radiation monitor detectors GTRE0022 and GTROO33 is bypassed; and the requirements of TS 3.3.7, CREVS Actuation Instrumentation, are met.

To support the accident analyses and dose consequences for the postulated fuel handling accident (FHA) inside containment and to isolate containment, closure of the containment equipment hatch is required in the event of the postulated FHA inside containment.

'In addition 'Section 3.8.2.1.1 of the FSAR states that the containment equipment hatch missile shield (missile shield) is provided to protect the containment equipment hatch. 'Normally,' the containment equipment hatch and the missile'shield are closed during CORE ALTERATIONS or during movement of irradiated fuel inside containment. However, when the containment equipment hatch is open under administrative controls, the missile shield is not required to be closed.

The administrative controls also require that the missile shield is positioned to provide adequate protection. The containment equipment hatch is closed from inside containment and the missile shield is closed from outside containment. The containment equipment hatch and the missile shield are not interlocked, so that closure sequence is not a factor.

The containment equipment hatch and the missile shield closing may be sequenced at the same time.

The LCO is modified by a NOTE allowing penetration flow paths with direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere to be unisolated under administrative controls.

Administrative controls ensure that 1) appropriate personnel are aware of the open status of the penetration flow path during CORE ALTERATIONS or movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment, and

2) specified individuals are designated and readily available to isolate the flow path in the event of a fuel handling accident (Ref. 4).

APPLICABILITY The containment penetration requirements are applicable during CORE ALTERATIONS or movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within II containment because this is when there is a potential for a fuel handling accident. Proper installation and removal of the upper internals with irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel does not constitute a CORE ALTERATION or a movement of irradiated fuel. Therefore, this LCO is not applicable during installation and removal of the reactor vessel upper internals.

In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, containment penetration requirements are addressed by LCO 3.6.1, "Containment." In MODES 5 and 6, when CORE ALTERATIONS or movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment are not being conducted, the potential for a fuel handling accident does not exist. Therefore, under these conditions no requirements are placed on containment penetration status.

ACTIONS

  • A.1 andA.2 If the containment equipment hatch, air locks, or any containment penetration that provides direct access from the containment atmosphere to the outside atmosphere is not in the required status, including the Containment Purge Isolation System not capable of automatic actuation when the isolation valves are open, the unit must be placed in a condition where the isolation function is not needed.

APPLICABILITY One RHR loop must be OPERABLE and in operation in MODE 6, with the water level Ž 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, to provide decay heat removal. The 23 ft water level was selected because it corresponds to the 23 ft requirement established for fuel movement in LCO 3.9.7, "Refueling Pool Water Level." -Requirements for the RHR System in other MODES are covered by LCOs in Section 3.4, "Reactor

RHR loop requirements in MODE 6 with the water (continued) level < 23 ft are located in LCO 3.9.6, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR) and Coolant Circulation - Low Water Level." Additional RHR loop requirements in MODE 6 with the water level Ž 23 feet above the top of the reactor vessel flange are located in FSAR 16.1.2.1, "Flow Path-Shutdown Limiting Condition For Operation."

ACTIONS RHR loop requirements are met by having one RHR loop OPERABLE and in operation, except as permitted in the Note to the LCO.

A.1 If RHR loop requirements are not met, there will be no forced circulation to provide mixing to establish uniform boron concentrations. Suspending positive reactivity additions that could result in failure to meet the minimum boron concentration limit is required to assure continued safe operation. Introduction of coolant inventory must be from sources that have a boron concentration greater than that required in the RCS for minimum refueling boron concentration. This may result in an overall reduction in RCS boron concentration, but provides acceptable margin to maintaining subcritical operation. Administrative controls are placed on refueling decontamination activities (See Bases for LCO 3.9.1). K>

A.2 If RHR loop requirements are not met, actions shall be taken immediately to suspend loading of irradiated fuel assemblies in the core. With no forced circulation cooling, decay heat removal from the core occurs by natural convection to the heat sink provided by the water above the core.

A minimum refueling pool water level of 23 ft above the reactor vessel flange provides an adequate available heat sink. Suspending any operation that would increase decay heat load, such as loading a fuel assembly, is a prudent action under this condition. Performance of Required Action A.2 shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe condition.

A.3 If RHR loop requirements are not met, actions shall be initiated and continued in order to satisfy RHR loop requirements. With the unit in MODE 6 and the refueling water level Ž 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, corrective actions shall be initiated immediately.

U RHR and Coolant Circulation - Low Water Level B 3.9.6 B 3.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS U1 B 3.9.6 Residual Heat Removal (RHR) and Coolant Circulation - Low Water Level BASES BACKGROUND The purpose of the RHR System in MODE 6 is to remove decay heat and sensible heat from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS), as required by GDC 34, to provide mixing of borated coolant, and to prevent boron stratification (Ref. 1). Heat is removed from the RCS by circulating reactor coolant through the RHR heat exchangers where the heat is transferred to the Component Cooling Water System. The coolant is then returned to the RCS via the RCS cold leg(s). Operation of the RHR System for normal cooldown decay heat removal is manually accomplished from the control room. The heat removal rate is adjusted by controlling the flow of reactor coolant through the RHR heat exchanger(s) and the bypass lines. Mixing of the reactor coolant is maintained by this continuous circulation of reactor coolant through the RHR System.

APPLICABLE If the reactor coolant temperature is not maintained below 2000F, boiling SAFETY of the reactor coolant could result. This could lead to a loss of coolant in /

ANALYSES the reactor vessel. Additionally, boiling of the reactor coolant could lead .. )

to boron plating out on components near the areas of the boiling activity.

The loss of reactor coolant and the subsequent plate out of boron will eventually challenge the integrity of the fuel cladding, which is a fission product barrier. Two trains of the RHR System are required to be OPERABLE, and one train in operation, in order to prevent this challenge.

The RHR System is retained as a Specification because it meets Criterion 4 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).

LCO In MODE 6, with the water level < 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, both RHR loops must be OPERABLE.

Additionally, one loop of RHR must be in operation in order to provide:

a. Removal of decay heat;
b. Mixing of borated coolant to minimize the possibility of criticality; and
c. Indication of reactor coolant temperature.

RHR and Coolant Circulation - Low Water Level B 3.9.6 BASES '

LCO An'OPERABLE RHR loop consists of an RHR pump, a'heat exchanger, (continued) valves, piping, instruments and controls to ensure an OPERABLE flow path and to determine the RCS temperature. The flow path starts in one of the RCS hot legs and is returned to the RCS cold legs. An OPERABLE RHR loop must be capable of being realigned to provide an OPERABLE flow path.

The standby RHR train may be aligned to the Refueling Water Storage Tank to support filling or draining the refuel pool or for the performance of required testing as long as the motor-operated valves EJHV871 6A and EJHV8809A are maintained OPERABLE for Train A OPERABILITY and EJHV8716B and EJHV8809B are maintained OPERABLE for Train B OPERABILITY during refuel pool draining. These respective valves plus EJHV8840 must be maintained OPERABLE during refuel pool filling. The standby RHR train may be considered OPERABLE with BN8717 (RHR return to RWST) open as long as it can be isolated by EJHV8716A or B and EJHV8809A or B can be opened to realign the pump discharge to the RCS cold legs. Caution must be exercised whenever BN8717 is open to ensure the operating RHR train's EJHV8716 valve is maintained closed.

This is to prevent draining the RCS to the RWST. See Reference 3.

Electrical power source and distribution requirements for the RHR loops are as specified per LCO 3.8.2, "AC Sources - Shutdown"; LCO 3.8.5, "DC Sources - Shutdown"; LCO 3.8.8, "Inverters - Shutdown," and LCO 3.8.10, "Distribution Systems - Shutdown," consistent with the Bases for those Technical Specifications for reduced requirements during shutdown conditions, subject to the provisions and limitations described in the Bases..

APPLICABILITY Two RHR loops are required to be OPERABLE, and one RHR loop must be in operation in MODE 6, with the water level < 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange, to provide decay heat removal. Requirements for the RHR System in other MODES are covered by LCOs in Section 3.4, Reactor Coolant System (RCS), and Section 3.5, "Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS)." RHR loop requirements in MODE 6 with the water level 2 23 ft are located in LCO 3.9.5, "Residual Heat Removal (RHR) and Coolant Circulation - High Water Level."

Additional RHR loop requirements in MODE 6 with the water level 2 23 feet above the top of the reactor vessel flange are located in FSAR 16.1 2.1, "Flow Path-Shutdown Limiting Condition For Operation."

The Applicability is modified by a Note stating that entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability is not permitted while the LCO is not met. This note specifies an exception to LCO 3.0.4 and would (continued)

ACTIONS A.1 andA.2 If less than the required number of RHR loops are OPERABLE, action shall be immediately initiated and continued until the RHR loop is restored to OPERABLE status and restored to operation in accordance with the LCO or until 2 23 ft of water level is established above the reactor vessel flange. When the water level is 2 23 ft above the reactor vessel flange, the Applicability changes to that of LCO 3.9.5, and only one RHR loop is required to be OPERABLE and in operation. An immediate Completion Time is necessary for an operator to initiate corrective actions.

B.1 If no RHR loop is in operation, there will be no forced circulation to provide mixing to establish uniform boron concentrations. Suspending positive reactivity additions that could result in failure to meet the minimum boron concentration limit is required to assure continued safe operation. Introduction of coolant inventory must be from sources that have a boron concentration greater than that required in the RCS for minimum refueling boron concentration. This may result in an overall reduction in RCS boron concentration, but provides acceptable margin to maintaining a subcritical operation. Administrative controls are placed on refueling decontamination activities (See Bases for LCO 3.9.1).

B.2 If no RHR loop is in operation, actions shall be initiated immediately, and continued, to restore one RHR loop to operation. Since the unit is in Conditions A and B concurrently, the restoration of two OPERABLE RHR loops and one operating RHR loop should be accomplished expeditiously.

In Refueling Pool Water Level B 3.9.7 B 3.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS I B 3.9.7 Refueling Pool Water Level BASES BACKGROUND The movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within containment requires a minimum water level of 23 ft above the top of the reactor vessel flange.

During refueling, this maintains sufficient water level in the fuel transfer canal, refueling pool and spent fuel pool. Sufficient water is necessary to retain iodine fission product activity in the water in the event of a fuel handling accident (Refs. 1 and 2). Sufficient iodine activity would be retained to limit offsite doses from the accident to < 25% of 10 CFR 100 limits, as provided by the guidance of Reference 3 and acceptance in Reference 6.

APPLICABLE During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the water level in the SAFETY refueling pool is an initial condition design parameter in the analysis of a ANALYSES fuel handling accident in containment, as postulated by Regulatory Guide 1.25 (Ref. 1). The reactor is assumed to have been subcritical for 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> prior to movement of irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel. A minimum water level of 23 ft (Regulatory Position C. 1.c of Ref. 1) allows a decontamination factor of 100 (Regulatory Position C.1.g of Ref. 1) to be \ J used in the accident analysis for iodine. This relates to the assumption that 99% of the total iodine released from the pellet to cladding gap of the damaged rods is retained by the refueling pool water. In addition, for the analyses for the accident in the reactor building, the dropped assembly is assumed to damage 20% of the rods of a different assembly. The fission product release point is assumed to be at the point of impact at the top of the reactor vessel flange. The fuel pellet to cladding gap is assumed to contain 10% of the total fuel rod iodine inventory (Ref. 1).

The fuel handling accident analysis inside containment is described in Reference 2. With a minimum water level of 23 ft and a minimum decay time of 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> prior to fuel handling, the analysis and test programs demonstrate that the iodine release due to a postulated fuel handling accident is adequately captured by the water and offsite doses are maintained well within the limits of 10 CFR 100 (Refs. 4, 5, and 6).

Refueling pool water level satisfies Criterion 2 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
