==Description of Circumstances==
On January 13, 2003 the Millstone Unit 3 licensee identified that an over-pressurization of RCPseal leakoff lines could result from an extended loss of seal cooling following station blackout (SBO) scenarios or postulated fires in specific plant areas coincident with a loss of offsite powe Specifically, the licensee relies on operators to isolate the low pressure portion of the seal leakoff to prevent the line from over-pressurizin The licensee determined this expectation may not be achievable because the valve used to isolate the low pressure portion of the seal leakoff line is an air-operated valv This valve is designed to fail open upon loss of electrical power or instrument air, either of which could occur during a SBO or a loss of offsite power coincident with a postulated fire event.The seal return line for RCPs is designed to recover leakoff volume, at low pressure andtemperature, and return it to the volume control tank or charging pump suctio In the event of a fire in the cable spreading area, main control room, or instrument rack rooms, coincident with a loss of offsite power, a loss of RCP seal cooling could resul This situation can lead to a significant increase in RCP seal leakage which would increase the pressure and fluid temperature in the seal return lin This over pressurization could result in a pressure boundary failure of the seal return line, further increasing the RCP seal leakage beyond that assumed in the safe shutdown analysis. The resulting rupture would divert more of the credited boric acid storage tank (BAST) volumethan was assumed in the development of the licensee's fire safe-shutdown strategie Therefore, the strategies may not be adequate to achieve safe-shutdown.DiscussionThe licensee identified this issue while reviewing a Westinghouse (W) document on RCP sealperformance during loss of RCP seal cooling events, OG-00-009, "Transmittal of RCP Operation During Loss of Seal Cooling (MUHP-1063)," dated February 11, 200 The Wdocument states that up to 21 gallons per minute (gpm) leakoff from each RCP could occur for loss of seal cooling events following postulated fire or Station Blackout (SBO) events, which exceeds the 3 gpm assumed in the Millstone Unit 3 fire safe shutdown analysi Therefore, the licensee concluded that the fire safe shutdown analysis was invalid, but the SBO analysis, which assumes 25 gpm leakoff, was valid.Upon further investigation, the licensee determined that a loss of seal cooling event could notbe mitigated successfully because the seal leakoff line could not be isolated by the air-operated valves (AOVs) located in the RCP seal return pipin These AOVs cannot be credited to close because they are not fed by a safety-related air system, and they are designed to fail ope As a result of the loss of seal cooling and fire scenarios described above, pressures in the seal leakoff line would reach approximately 800 to 2000 psi Since the piping segment downstream of each AOV and upstream of the flow restriction orifice is designed 150 psig, this portion of the leakoff line could rupture, inducing leakoff flow rates in excess of the 21 gpm identified in the W documen These flow rates severely challenge the credited contents of theBAST and the requirements for achieving and maintaining safe shutdown in accordance with the applicable licensing basis.The licensee had been aware of the potential for over pressurization of the seal leakoff linefrom a 1992 Westinghouse Technical Bulletin, NSD-TB-91-07-R1, "Over pressurization of RCP

seal leakoff lines could result from an extended loss of seal cooling following station blackout
 
(SBO) scenarios or postulated fires in specific plant areas coincident with a loss of offsite
 
power. Specifically, the licensee relies on operators to isolate the low pressure portion of the
 
seal leakoff to prevent the line from over-pressurizing. The licensee determined this
 
expectation may not be achievable because the valve used to isolate the low pressure portion
 
of the seal leakoff line is an air-operated valve. This valve is designed to fail open upon loss of
 
electrical power or instrument air, either of which could occur during a SBO or a loss of offsite
 
power coincident with a postulated fire event.
 
The seal return line for RCPs is designed to recover leakoff volume, at low pressure and
 
temperature, and return it to the volume control tank or charging pump suction. In the event of
 
a fire in the cable spreading area, main control room, or instrument rack rooms, coincident with
 
a loss of offsite power, a loss of RCP seal cooling could result. This situation can lead to a
 
significant increase in RCP seal leakage which would increase the pressure and fluid
 
temperature in the seal return line. This over pressurization could result in a pressure boundary
 
failure of the seal return line, further increasing the RCP seal leakage beyond that assumed in
 
the safe shutdown analysis.
 
The resulting rupture would divert more of the credited boric acid storage tank (BAST) volume
 
than was assumed in the development of the licensees fire safe-shutdown strategies.
 
Therefore, the strategies may not be adequate to achieve safe-shutdown.
 
Discussion
 
The licensee identified this issue while reviewing a Westinghouse (W) document on RCP seal
 
performance during loss of RCP seal cooling events, OG-00-009, "Transmittal of RCP
 
Operation During Loss of Seal Cooling (MUHP-1063)," dated February 11, 2000. The W
 
document states that up to 21 gallons per minute (gpm) leakoff from each RCP could occur for
 
loss of seal cooling events following postulated fire or Station Blackout (SBO) events, which
 
exceeds the 3 gpm assumed in the Millstone Unit 3 fire safe shutdown analysis. Therefore, the
 
licensee concluded that the fire safe shutdown analysis was invalid, but the SBO analysis, which assumes 25 gpm leakoff, was valid.
 
Upon further investigation, the licensee determined that a loss of seal cooling event could not
 
be mitigated successfully because the seal leakoff line could not be isolated by the air-operated
 
valves (AOVs) located in the RCP seal return piping. These AOVs cannot be credited to close
 
because they are not fed by a safety-related air system, and they are designed to fail open. As
 
a result of the loss of seal cooling and fire scenarios described above, pressures in the seal
 
leakoff line would reach approximately 800 to 2000 psig. Since the piping segment
 
downstream of each AOV and upstream of the flow restriction orifice is designed 150 psig, this
 
portion of the leakoff line could rupture, inducing leakoff flow rates in excess of the 21 gpm
 
identified in the W document. These flow rates severely challenge the credited contents of the
 
BAST and the requirements for achieving and maintaining safe shutdown in accordance with
 
the applicable licensing basis.
 
The licensee had been aware of the potential for over pressurization of the seal leakoff line
 
from a 1992 Westinghouse Technical Bulletin, NSD-TB-91-07-R1, "Over pressurization of RCP
 
#1 Seal Leakoff Line." However, while the licensee had implemented specific
 
recommendations contained in the bulletin, the licensee had not considered the potential for the
 
AOVs in the seal leakoff line to be open. Therefore, the licensee did not consider a potential
 
pressure boundary failure in the leakoff line that would divert the BAST contents credited for
 
achieving and maintaining safe shutdown.
 
To mitigate and resolve the events described in this IN the licensee has: (1) instituted
 
compensatory measures for the degraded condition, including continuous fire watches, placement of additional fire extinguishers in the three affected plant areas, and administratively
 
controlling transient combustibles; (2) initiated plant design changes involving the RCP seal
 
leak-off lines to preclude the possibility of rupture during loss-of-all-seal cooling events, i.e.,

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION

WASHINGTON, DC 20555-0001 October 6, 2003 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 2003-19: UNANALYZED CONDITION OF REACTOR

COOLANT PUMP SEAL LEAKOFF LINE DURING

POSTULATED FIRE SCENARIOS OR STATION

BLACKOUT

Addressees

All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for pressurized water reactors (PWRs).

Purpose

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information notice (IN) to alert

addressees to the recent identification of an unanalyzed condition involving the design of the

reactor coolant pump (RCP) seal leakoff line. The NRC anticipates that recipients will review

the information for applicability to their facilities and consider taking appropriate actions.

However, suggestions contained in this information notice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action or written response is required.

Description of Circumstances

On January 13, 2003 the Millstone Unit 3 licensee identified that an over-pressurization of RCP

seal leakoff lines could result from an extended loss of seal cooling following station blackout

(SBO) scenarios or postulated fires in specific plant areas coincident with a loss of offsite

power. Specifically, the licensee relies on operators to isolate the low pressure portion of the

seal leakoff to prevent the line from over-pressurizing. The licensee determined this

expectation may not be achievable because the valve used to isolate the low pressure portion

of the seal leakoff line is an air-operated valve. This valve is designed to fail open upon loss of

electrical power or instrument air, either of which could occur during a SBO or a loss of offsite

power coincident with a postulated fire event.

The seal return line for RCPs is designed to recover leakoff volume, at low pressure and

temperature, and return it to the volume control tank or charging pump suction. In the event of

a fire in the cable spreading area, main control room, or instrument rack rooms, coincident with

a loss of offsite power, a loss of RCP seal cooling could result. This situation can lead to a

significant increase in RCP seal leakage which would increase the pressure and fluid

temperature in the seal return line. This over pressurization could result in a pressure boundary

failure of the seal return line, further increasing the RCP seal leakage beyond that assumed in

the safe shutdown analysis.

The resulting rupture would divert more of the credited boric acid storage tank (BAST) volume

than was assumed in the development of the licensees fire safe-shutdown strategies.

Therefore, the strategies may not be adequate to achieve safe-shutdown.

Discussion

The licensee identified this issue while reviewing a Westinghouse (W) document on RCP seal

performance during loss of RCP seal cooling events, OG-00-009, "Transmittal of RCP

Operation During Loss of Seal Cooling (MUHP-1063)," dated February 11, 2000. The W

document states that up to 21 gallons per minute (gpm) leakoff from each RCP could occur for

loss of seal cooling events following postulated fire or Station Blackout (SBO) events, which

exceeds the 3 gpm assumed in the Millstone Unit 3 fire safe shutdown analysis. Therefore, the

licensee concluded that the fire safe shutdown analysis was invalid, but the SBO analysis, which assumes 25 gpm leakoff, was valid.

Upon further investigation, the licensee determined that a loss of seal cooling event could not

be mitigated successfully because the seal leakoff line could not be isolated by the air-operated

valves (AOVs) located in the RCP seal return piping. These AOVs cannot be credited to close

because they are not fed by a safety-related air system, and they are designed to fail open. As

a result of the loss of seal cooling and fire scenarios described above, pressures in the seal

leakoff line would reach approximately 800 to 2000 psig. Since the piping segment

downstream of each AOV and upstream of the flow restriction orifice is designed 150 psig, this

portion of the leakoff line could rupture, inducing leakoff flow rates in excess of the 21 gpm

identified in the W document. These flow rates severely challenge the credited contents of the

BAST and the requirements for achieving and maintaining safe shutdown in accordance with

the applicable licensing basis.

The licensee had been aware of the potential for over pressurization of the seal leakoff line

from a 1992 Westinghouse Technical Bulletin, NSD-TB-91-07-R1, "Over pressurization of RCP

  1. 1 Seal Leakoff Line." However, while the licensee had implemented specific

recommendations contained in the bulletin, the licensee had not considered the potential for the

AOVs in the seal leakoff line to be open. Therefore, the licensee did not consider a potential

pressure boundary failure in the leakoff line that would divert the BAST contents credited for

achieving and maintaining safe shutdown.

To mitigate and resolve the events described in this IN the licensee has: (1) instituted

compensatory measures for the degraded condition, including continuous fire watches, placement of additional fire extinguishers in the three affected plant areas, and administratively

controlling transient combustibles; (2) initiated plant design changes involving the RCP seal

leak-off lines to preclude the possibility of rupture during loss-of-all-seal cooling events, i.e.,

replacement of susceptible valves and flanges; (3) performed engineering analyses regarding

the event's impact on charging pumps and pressurizer level during the event; and (4) revised

fire shutdown strategies to effectively mitigate the event. This information notice requires no specific action or written response. If you have any

questions about the information in this notice, please contact one of the technical contacts
