Catawba Units 1 and 2 16.7-9-3 Revision 7 0 0 SSS 16.7-9 TESTING REQUIREMENTS (continued)
TEST FREQUENCY TR 16.7-9-20 Verify proper installation of pressurizer insulation.
18 months TR 16.7-9-21 Verify pressurizer heaters powered from the SSS have a 18 months capacity of > 65 kW.BASES The SSS is designed to mitigate the consequences of certain postulated fire, security, and station blackout incidents by providing capability to maintain MODE 3 conditions and by controlling and monitoring vital systems from locations external to the main control room. This capability is consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, NUREG-0800, Section 9.5-1, and Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APSCB 9.5-1.The TESTING REQUIREMENTS ensure that the SSS systems and components are capable of performing their intended functions.
The required level in the SSS diesel generator fuel storage tank ensures sufficient fuel for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> uninterrupted operation.
It is assumed that, within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, either offsite power can be restored or additional fuel can be added to the storage tank.Although the standby makeup pump is not nuclear safety related and was not designed according to ASME Code requirements, it is tested quarterly to ensure its FUNCTIONALITY.
The TESTING REQUIREMENT concerning the standby makeup pump water supply ensures that an adequate water volume is available to supply the pump continuously for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.Total accumulative LEAKAGE is calculated in the NC System Leakage Calculation procedure as identified
+ unidentified
+ seal leakoff (References 2 and 3). The REMEDIAL ACTION limit of 20 gpm total accumulative LEAKAGE provides additional margin to allow for instrument inaccuracy, and for the predicted increase in seal leakoff rate due to heatup of the reactor coolant pump seal injection water supply temperature following the SSS event (due to spent fuel pool heatup).Following the increase in seal injection temperature, the standby makeup pump flow of 26 gpm is sufficient to provide in excess of this total accumulative LEAKAGE, thereby assuring that reactor coolant system inventory is maintained at MODE 3 conditions.
The supporting evaluation is provided in CNC-1223.04-00-0072 (Ref. 4).A visual inspection of the diesel starting 24-volt batteries, cell plates, and battery racks provides an indication of physical damage or abnormal deterioration that could potentially degrade battery performance.
Since Catawba Units 1 and 2 16.7-9-4 Revision 7 SSS 16.7-9* BASES (continued) the battery cell jars are not transparent, a direct visual inspection of the cell plates cannot be performed.
Instead, the cell plates are inspected for physical damage and abnormal deterioration by: 1) visually inspecting the jar sides of each cell for excessive bowing and/or deformation, and 2)visually inspecting the electrolyte of each cell for abnormal appearance.
Verifying individual cell voltage while on float charge for the SSS diesel starting 24-Volt batteries ensures that each cell is capable of supporting its intended function.
Float charge is the condition in which the charger is supplying the continuous charge required to overcome the internal losses of a battery (or battery cell) and maintain the battery (or battery cell) in a fully charged state. The battery cell voltage limit of 1.36 volts is consistent with the nominal design voltage of the battery and is based on the manufacturer's recommended minimum float charge voltage for a fully charged cell with adequate capacity.
The battery is designed and sized with a capacity margin sufficient to allow up to one cell per battery bank to be fully degraded with a voltage < 1.36 volts assuming that no cells are jumpered out. The battery sizing calculations account for one degraded cell per battery bank by assuming the degraded cells undergo a worst case polarity reversal during SSS diesel starting.Verification of proper installation of pressurizer insulation ensures that pressurizer heat losses during an SSS event do not exceed the capacity of the pressurizer heaters powered from the SSS.Testing of the pressurizer heater capacity ensures the full capacity of the heaters is available to maintain a steam bubble in the pressurizer during an SSS event.REFERENCES
