Comanche Peak Proposed Secondary Water Chemistry Monitoring Program The CPSES secondary sampling schedule will be, in large part, Westinghouse's suggested general schedule for sampling. This schedule will be included into procedure CHM-106.

The critical sampling control points for secondary system chemical parameters are steam generator (water), main steam and condensate feedwater. Table 1 provides chemical parameters and their values for normal operation for each critical control point. Figure 1 shows these critical sampling points (and others) on a secondary system schematic.

The procedures used to measure the value of critical parameters are:

a. pH-CHM-332 - This method involves the immersion of a glass electrode into the sample and recording the reading on the meter.

b. Conductivity - CHM-309 - This method involves the measurement of the electrical conductance of the sample using a dip cell or a flow cell connected to a bridge type instrument.

c. Chloride - CHM-203 - Several methods will be applicable for this analysis. Those that may be used are:

(1) a titrametric method using dilute mercuric nitrate solution in the presence of mixed diphenylcarbazone - brosophenal blue indicator.

(2) a spectrophotometric method that uses the fonnation of terric thiocynate complex from the reaction of chloride ion with mercuric thiocyanate.

d. Suspended Solids - CHM-330 - This method involves the filtration of the sample through a 0.55 micron filter paper and weighing the increase in weight of the filter paper.

e. Silica - CHM-325 - This method is a spectrophotometric method. A colored complex is produced by the reaction of soluble silica with molybdate.

f. Flourides - Specific ion electrode technique.

Prcsess sampling points and potential grab sample points are provided in Table 2.

Procedure CHM-101, " Chemistry Document Control" will describe the methods, techniques, and responsibilities for the recording of all chemistry data, the review of the analytical results or trends, and the records storage requirements for this information. The responsible senior technician, Radiochemist and the Chemistry and Health Physics

. Engineer shall have a review responsibility of these chemical records.

The Chemistry and Health Physics Engineer has overall review responsibility of these records.

If abnormal chemistry cannot be corrected within a reasonable period of time by chemical addition, use of full flow condensate polishers, I and/or steam generator blow-down, the plant may decrease power so that the system causing the problem can be isolated and repaired.

l Corrective actions due to abnormal chemistry conditions are provided in l

Table 3.

l The Chemistry and Health Physics Engineer has overall responsibility t

for the timely recommendation of corrective actions to correct abnormal secondary side chemical conditions. The Manager of Plant Operations is responsible for deciding to modify plant operations because of abnormal

4 4

i r chemical conditions.- .

(

Procedure CHM-104. indentifies the Chemistry and Health Physics Engineer 4 as the authority responsible for the interpretation of data.

^

i 4 Once the Chemistry and Health Physics Engineer is aware of the off control point condition, and it cannot be corrected within a reasonable i

j amount of time, he will notify the Manager.of Plant Operations through f _teh Engineering Superintendent, who upon ascertaining the situation and -

considering consequences, will decide upon a schedule for appropriate correction of the problem.
