PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 Introduction This Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) for Braidwood Unit I has been prepared in accordance with the requirements ofBraidwood Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.6, Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR).

Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.

The Technical Specifications (TS) addressed in this report are listed below:

LCO 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (PiT) Limits; and LCO 3.4.12 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System.

2.0 RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits The PTLR limits for Braidwood Unit 1 were developed using a methodology specified in the Technical Specifications. The methodology listed in WCAP-14040-NP-A, Revision 2 (Reference 1) was used with the following exceptions:

a) Optional use ofASME Code Section XI, Appendix G, Article G-2000, 1996 Addenda, b) Use of ASME Code Case N-640, Alternative Reference Fracture Toughness for Development ofP-T Limit Curves,Section XI, Division 1, c) Use of ASME Code Case N-588, Alternative to Reference Flaw Orientation of Appendix G for Circumferential Welds in Reactor Vessel,Section XI, Division 1, and d) Elimination ofthe flange requirements documented in WCAP-16143-~P.

These exceptions to the methodology in WCAP 14040-NP-A, Revision 2 have been reviewed and accepted by the NRC in References 2, 8, 9 and 10.

WCAP 15364, Revision 2 (Reference 11), provides the basis for the Braidwood Unit 1 P/T curves, along with the best estimate chemical compositions, fluence projections and adjusted reference temperatures used to determine these limits. WCAP- I 6143-P.

Reference 12. documents the technical basis for the elimination of the flange requirements.

2.1 RCS Pressure and Temperature (PIT) Limits (LCO 3.4.3) 2.1.1 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits defined in WCAP- 15364, Revision 2 (Reference Il) are:

a. A maximum heatup of 100°Fin any i-hour period,

b. A maximum cooldown of 100°Fin any 1-hourperiod, and

BRAIDWOOD UNIT 1 -

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT

c. A maximum temperature change ofless than or equal to 10°Fin any i-hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.

2.1.2 The RCS PIT limits forheatup, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figure 2.1 and Table 2. ia. The RCS P/T limits for cooldown are shown in Figure 2.2 and Table 2.lb. These limits are defined in WCAP- 15364, Revision 2 (Reference II). Consistent with the methodology described in Reference 1 and exceptions noted in Section 2.0, the RCS P/T limits for heatup and cooldown shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 are provided without margins for instrument error. These limits were developed using ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XL Appendix G, Article G2000, 1996 Addenda.

The criticality limit curve specifies pressure-temperature limits forcore operation to provide additional margin during actual power production as specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix G.

The P/T limits for core operation (except for low power physics testing) are that the reactor vessel must be at a temperature equal to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and at least 40°Fhigher than the minimum permissible temperature in the corresponding P/T curve for heatup and cooldown.

BRAiDWOOD - UNIT 1 PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 3.0 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection and Boltup This section provides the Braidwood Unit 1 power operated relief valve lift settings, low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) system arming temperature, and minimum reactor vessel boltup temperature.

3.1 LTOP System Setpoints (LCO 3,4.12)

The power operated relief valves (PORVs) shall each have maximum lift settings in accordance with Figure 3.1 and Table 3.1. These limits are based on References 3 and 4.

The LTOP setpoints are based on P/i limits which were established in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix G without allowance for instrumentation error and in accordance with the methodology described in Reference 1. The LTOP PORV nominal lift settings shown in Figure 3.1 and Table 3.1 account for appropriate instrument error.

3.2 LTOP Enable Temperature Braidwood Unit 1 procedures governing the heatup and cooldown of the RCS require the arming of the LTOP System for RCS temperature of350°Fand below and disarming of LTOP for RCS temperature above 350°F.

Note that the last LTOP PORV segment in Table 3.1 extends to 400°Fwhere the pressure setpoint is 2335 psig. This is intended to prohibit PORV lift for an inadvertent LTOP system arming at power.

3.3 Reactor Vessel Boltup Temperature (Non-Technical Specification) j The minimum boltup temperature for the Reactor Vessel Flange shall be 60°F.Boltup is a condition in which the Reactor Vessel head is installed with tension applied to any stud, and with the RCS vented to atmosphere.

BRAIDWOOD UNIT 2-PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 Introduction This Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) for Braidwood Unit 2 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Braidwood Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.6, Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR). Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.

The Technical Specifications addressed in this report are listed below:

LCO 3.4.3 RCS Pressure and Temperature (PIT) Limits; and LCO 3.4.12 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System.

2.0 RCS Pressure Temperature Limits The PTLR limits for Braidwood Unit 2 were developed using a methodology specified in the Technical Specifications. The methodology listed in WCAP-14040-NP-A, Revision 2 (Reference 1) was used with the following exception:

a) Optional use of ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G, Article G-2000, 1996 Addenda, b) Use ofASME Code Case N-640, Alternative Reference Fracture Toughness for Development of P-I Limit Curves,Section XI, Division 1, and c) Use of ASME Code Case N-588, Alternative to Reference Flaw Orientation of Appendix G for Circumferential Welds in Reactor Vessel,Section XI, Division 1, and d) Elimination of the flange requirements documented in WCAP-16 143-P.

This exception to the methodology in WCAP 14040-NP-A, Revision 2 has been reviewed and accepted by the NRC in References 2, 7, 9, and 10.

WCAP 15373, Revision 2 (Reference 11), provides the basis for the Braidwood Unit 2 P/T curves, along with the best estimate chemical compositions, fluence projections and adjusted reference temperatures used to determine these limits.

WCAP-l6 143-P. Reference 12, documents the technical basis for the elimination of the flange requirements.

2.1 RCS Pressure and Temperature (PIT) Limits (LCO 3.4.3) 2.1.1 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits defined in Reference 11 are:

a. A maximum heatup of 100°Fin any 1-hour period.

b. A maximum cooldown of 100°Fin any 1-hour period, and

BRAID WOOD UNIT 2

-

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT

c. A maximum temperature change of less than or equal to 10°Fin any 1-hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.

2.1.2 The RCS PiT limits for heatup, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figure 2.1 and Table 2.1a. The RCS P/T limits for cooldown are shown in Figure 2.2 and Table 2.lb. These limits are defined in WCAP-15373, Revision 2 (Reference 11). Consistent with the methodology described in Reference 1, with the exception noted in Section 2.0, the RCS P/T limits for heatup and cooldown shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 are provided without margins for instrument error. These limits were developed using ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section XI, Appendix G, Article 02000, 1996 Addenda. The criticality limit curve specifies pressure-temperature limits for core operation to provide additional margin during actual power production as specified in 10 CFR 50, Appendix G.

The P/T limits for core operation (except for low power physics testing) are that the reactor vessel must be at a temperature equal to orhigher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and at least 40°Fhigher than the minimum permissible temperature in the corresponding PIT curve for heatup and cooldown.

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 3.0 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection and Boltup This section provides the Braidwood Unit 2 power operated relief valve lift settings, low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) system arming temperature, and minimum reactor vessel boltup temperature.

3.1 LTOP System Setpoints (LCO 3.4.12).

The power operated relief valves (PORVs) shall each have nominal lift settings in accordance with Figure 3.1 and Table 3.1. These limits are based on References 3 and 8.

The LTOP setpoints are based on PIT limits that were established in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix G without allowance for instrumentation error. The LTOP setpoints were developed using the methodology described in Reference 1.

The LTOP PORV nominal lift settings shown in Figure 3.1 and Table 3.1 account for appropriate instrument error.

3.2 LTOP Enable Temperature Braidwood Unit 2 procedures governing the heatup and cooldown ofthe RCS require the arming of the LTOP System for RCS temperature of 350°Fand below and disarming of LTOP for RCS temperature above 350°F.

Note that the last LTOP PORV segment in Table 3.1 extends to 400°Fwhere the pressure setpoint is 2335 psig. This is intended to prohibit PORV lift for an inadvertent LTOP system arming at power.

3.3 Reactor Vessel Boltup Temperature (Non-Technical Specification)

The minimum boltup temperature forthe Reactor Vessel Flange shall be 60°F.

Boltup is a condition in which the Reactor Vessel head is installed with tension applied to any stud, and with the RCS vented to atmosphere.

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 4.0 Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program The pressure vessel material surveillance program (Reference 4) is in compliance with Appendix H to 10 CFR 50, Reactor Vessel Radiation Surveillance Program. The material test requirements and the acceptance standards utilize the reference nil-ductility temperature, RTNDT, which is determined in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, NB-233 1.

The empirical relationship between RTNDT and the fracture toughness of the reactor vessel steel is developed in accordance with Appendix G, Protection Against Non-Ductile Failure, to Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The surveillance capsule removal schedule meets the requirements of ASTM E185-82.

The third and final reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens (Capsule W) have been removed and analyzed to determine changes in material properties. The surveillance capsule testing has been completed for the original operating period.
