         - LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.4.'9.1_ The Reactor Coolant System (except the pressurizer) temperature
          -and pressure shall be limited in accordance with- the limit lines shown on

Figures 3.4-2, 3.4-3, and 3.4-4 during heatup, cooldown, criticality, and inservice leak and hydrostatic testing with maximum heatup and cooldown

   ,,      rates as indicated on the applicable figure.

l APPLICABILITY: At all times. " ACTION: With any of the above limits exceeded, restore the temperature and/or pressure to within the limits within 30 minutes; perform an engineering evaluation to' determine the effects of the out-of-limit condition on the i fracture toughness properties of the Reactor Coolant System; determine l l that the Reactor Coolant System remains acceptable for contined operation or be in at least.

                            - All components in the Reactor' Coolant System are designed to withstad the effects -of cyclic loads due to system temperature and pressure changes.
                  . These cyclic loads are introduced by normal load transients, reactor trips, and startup and shutdown operdions. The varicus categories of load cycles used -for design purposes are provided in Section 4.1.2.4 of the FSAR.

The cl'osure. head regicn is significantly stressed at relatively low temperatures (due to mechanical loads resulting from bolt pre-load). The outlet nozzles of the reactor vessel affect the presssure-temperature limit . curves of the first several service periods. For the service period for which the limit curves are established, the maximum allowable pressure as a function of fluid temperature is obtained through a point-by-point comparison of the limits imposed by the closure head region, outlet nozzles, and beltline region. The maximum allowable pressure is taken to be the lower pressure of the three calculated pressures. The calculated pressure temperature limit curves are then adjusted by 25 psi and 10oF for possible errors in the pressure and temperature sensing instruments. The pressure limit is also adjusted for the pressure differential between the point of system oressure measurement and the limiting component for all operating reactor coolant pump combinations. The limit curves were prepared based upon the most limiting adjusted ntference temperature of all-the beltline region materials at the end of the fifth effec-tive full power year. The unirradiated transverse impact properties of the beltline region materials, required by Appendices G and H to 10 CFR 50, were determined for those materials for which sufficient amounts of material were available. The adjusted reference temperature is calculated by adding the predicted radiation-induced ART are calculated in accordab,. andThe the unirradiated. predicted ARTwith Regulatory Guide 1.99 using the resktive neutron fluence and copper and phosphorus contents.  ; The assumed unirradiated ' reference temperature of the beltline region controlling material is 120 F. At the end-of five effective full power years this increases.to 252 F at ~1/4T and 135 F at 3/4T. The RT at the outlet juncture is taken to be 120*E.

The number of reactor vessel frradiation surveillance specimens and the frequencies for removing and testing these specimens are provided in Table 4.4-3 to assure compliance with the requirements of Appendix H .to 10 CFR Part.50. The limitations imposed on pressuriter heatup and cooldown and spray water temperature differential are provided to assure that the pressurizer is operated within the design criteria assumed for the fatigue analysis per-

3/4.4.10 STRUCTURAL ItiTEGRITY The inspection programs for ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 components, except

        ' steam generator tubes, ensure that the structural integrity of these components
        .will be maintained at an acceptable level throughout the life of the plant'.

To .the extent applicable, the inspection program for these components is in compliance with _Section XI of the ASME Boilcr and Pressure Vessel Code. _The internals vent. valves are provided to relieve..the pressure generated by-steam - ing in the core -following a LOCA so that the core remains sufficiently covered.

        -Inspection and manual actuation of the internals vent valves 1) ensure OPERABILITY,

2) ensure that the valves are not stuck open during normal operation, and 3) demonstrate that the ' valves are fully open at the forces assumed in the safety analysis.
