PPL Rev. 3 RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation B 3.4.6 B 3.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS)

B 3.4.6 RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation BASES BACKGROUND GDC 30 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix A (Ref. 1), requires means for detecting and, to the extent practical, identifying the location of the source of RCS LEAKAGE. Regulatory Guide 1.45 (Ref. 2) describes acceptable methods for selecting leakage detection systems.

Limits on LEAKAGE from the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) are required so that appropriate action can be taken before the integrity of the RCPB is impaired (Ref. 2). Leakage detection systems for the RCS are provided to alert the operators when leakage rates above normal background levels are detected and also to supply quantitative measurement of leakage rates. The Bases for LCO 3.4.4, "RCS Operational LEAKAGE," discuss the limits on RCS LEAKAGE rates.

Systems for separating the LEAKAGE of an identified source from an unidentified source are necessary to provide prompt and quantitative information to the operators to permit them to take immediate corrective action.

LEAKAGE from the RCPB inside the drywell is detected by at least one of two or three independently monitored variables, such as sump level changes and drywell gaseous and particulate radioactivity levels. The primary means of quantifying LEAKAGE in the drywell is the drywell floor drain sump monitoring system which consists of two drywell floor drain sump level Channels. Both Channels are required to be Operable to satisfy the LCO.

The drywell floor drain sump monitoring system monitors the LEAKAGE collected in the floor drain sump. This unidentified LEAKAGE consists of LEAKAGE from control rod drives, valve flanges or packings, floor drains, the Closed Cooling Water System, and drywell air cooling unit condensate drains, and any LEAKAGE not collected in the drywell equipment drain tank.

The level of each drywell sump is continuously recorded in the Main Control Room. The change in (continued)

SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 2 TS / B 3.4-30 Revision 1

PPL Rev. 3 RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation B 3.4.6 BASES BACKGROUND sump level per unit time determines the leak rate and is calculated from (continued) the recorder.

The floor drain sump level indicators have switches that start and stop the sump pumps when required. If the sump fills to the high high level setpoint, an alarm sounds in the control room.

The primary containment air monitoring systems continuously monitor the primary containment atmosphere for airborne particulate and gaseous radioactivity. A sudden increase of radioactivity, which may be attributed to RCPB steam or reactor water LEAKAGE, is annunciated in the control room. The primary containment atmosphere particulate and gaseous radioactivity monitoring systems are not capable of quantifying LEAKAGE rates. These monitors provide an alternate means of leak detection to that supplied by the sump level monitors, and although they cannot ensure detection of a 1 gpm leak in 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in all cases, they provide a diverse means of leak detection (Ref. 3).

APPLICABLE A threat of significant compromise to the RCPB exists if the barrier SAFETY contains a crack that is large enough to propagate rapidly. LEAKAGE ANALYSES rate limits are set low enough to detect the LEAKAGE emitted from a single crack in the RCPB (Refs. 4 and 5). Each of the leakage detection systems inside the drywell is designed with the capability of detecting LEAKAGE less than the established LEAKAGE rate limits. The allowed LEAKAGE rates are well below the rates predicted for critical crack sizes (Ref. 6). Therefore, these actions provide adequate response before a significant break in the RCPB can occur.

RCS leakage detection instrumentation satisfies Criterion 1 of the NRC Policy Statement (Ref. 7).

LCO The drywell floor drain sump monitoring system is required to quantify the unidentified LEAKAGE from the RCS. Thus, for the system to be considered OPERABLE, the system must be capable of measuring reactor coolant leakage. The other monitoring systems provide early alarms to the operators so closer examination of other detection systems will be made (continued)

The 30 day Completion Time of Required Action A.1 is acceptable, based on operating experience, considering the multiple forms of leakage detection that are still available.

B.1 and B.2 With both gaseous and particulate primary containment atmospheric monitoring channels inoperable, grab samples of the primary containment atmosphere must be taken and analyzed to provide periodic leakage information.

The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to perform the actions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

PPL Rev. 3 Main Turbine Bypass System B 3.7.6 B33.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.6 Main Turbine Bypass System BASES BACKGROUND The Main Turbine Bypass System is designed to control steam pressure when reactor steam generation exceeds turbine requirements during unit startup, sudden load reduction, and cooldown. It allows excess steam flow from the reactor to the condenser without going through the turbine.

The full bypass capacity of the system is approximately 22% of the Nuclear Steam Supply System rated steam flow. Sudden load reductions within the capacity of the steam bypass can be accommodated without reactor scram. The Main Turbine Bypass System consists of five valves connected to the main steam lines between the main steam isolation valves and the turbine stop valve bypass valve chest. Each of these five valves is operated by hydraulic cylinders. The bypass valves are controlled by the pressure regulation function of the Turbine Electro Hydraulic Control System, as discussed in the FSAR, Section 7.7.1.5 (Ref. 1). The bypass valves are normally closed, and the pressure regulator controls the turbine control valves that direct all steam flow to the turbine. If the speed governor or the load limiter restricts steam flow to the turbine, the pressure regulator controls the system pressure by opening the bypass valves. When the bypass valves open, the steam flows from the bypass chest, through connecting piping, to the pressure breakdown assemblies, where a series of orifices are used to further reduce the steam pressure before the steam enters the condenser.

APPLICABLE The Main Turbine Bypass System has two modes of operation. A fast SAFETY opening mode is assumed to function during the turbine generator load ANALYSES rejection, turbine trip, and feedwater controller failure transients as discussed in FSAR Sections 15.2.2, 15.2.3, and 15.1.2 (Refs. 2, 3, and 4). A pressure regulation mode is assumed to function during the control rod withdrawal error and recirculation flow controller failure transients as discussed in FSAR Sections 15.4.2 and 15.4.5 (Refs. 5 and 6). Both modes of operation are assumed to function for all bypass valves assumed in the applicable safety analyses. Opening the bypass valves during the above transients mitigates the increase in reactor vessel pressure, which affects both MCPR and LHGR during the event. An inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System may result in a MCPR and / or LHGR penalty.

The Main Turbine Bypass System satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement. (Ref. 7)

(continued)

SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 2 TS / B 3.7-27 Revision 4

PPL Rev. 3 Main Turbine Bypass System B 3.7.6 BASES (continued)

LCO The Main Turbine Bypass System fast opening and pressure regulation modes are required to be OPERABLE to limit the pressure increase in the main steam lines and reactor pressure vessel during transients that cause a pressurization so that the Safety Limit MCPR and LHGR are not exceeded.

With the Main Turbine Bypass System inoperable, modifications to the MCPR limits (LCO 3.2.2, "MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO (MCPR)")

and LHGR limits (LCO 3.2.3, "LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATE (LHGR)") may be applied to allow this LCO to be met. The MCPR and LHGR limits for the inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System are specified in the COLR. An OPERABLE Main Turbine Bypass System requires the bypass valves to open in response to increasing main steam line pressure.

Licensing analyses credit an OPERABLE Main Turbine Bypass System as having both the bypass valve fast opening mode and pressure regulation mode. The fast opening mode is required for transients initiated by a turbine control valve or turbine stop valve closure. The pressure regulation mode is required for transients where the power increase exceeds the capability of the turbine control valves.

The cycle specific safety analyses assume a certain number of OPERABLE main turbine bypass valves as an input (i.e., one through five). Therefore, the Main Turbine Bypass System is considered OPERABLE when the number of OPERABLE bypass valves is greater than or equal to the number assumed in the safety analyses. The number of bypass valves assumed in the safety analyses is specified in the COLR. This response is within the assumptions of the applicable analysis (Refs. 2 - 6).

APPLICABILIT The Main Turbine Bypass System is required to be OPERABLE at Y _>23% RTP to ensure that the fuel cladding integrity Safety Limit is not violated during all applicable transients. As discussed in the Bases for LCOs 3.2.2 and 3.2.3, sufficient margin to these limits exists at < 23% RTP.

Therefore, these requirements are only necessary when operating at or above this power level.

ACTIONS A.1 If the Main Turbine Bypass System is inoperable and the MCPR and LHGR limits for an inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System, as specified in the COLR, are not applied, the assumptions of the design basis transient analysis may not be met.

(continued)

SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 2 TS / B 3.7-28 Revision 3

PPL Rev. 3 Main Turbine Bypass System B 3.7.6 BASES ACTIONS A.1 (continued)

Under such circumstances, prompt action should be taken to restore the Main Turbine Bypass System to OPERABLE status or adjust the MCPR and LHGR limits accordingly. The 2-hour Completion Time is reasonable, based on the time to complete the Required Action and the low probability of an event occurring 'during this period requiring the Main Turbine Bypass System.

B.1 If the Main Turbine Bypass System cannot be restored to OPERABLE status or the MCPR and LHGR limits for an inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System are not applied, THERMAL POWER must be reduced to

< 23% RTP. As discussed in the Applicability section, operation at

< 23% RTP results in sufficient margin to the required limits, and the Main Turbine Bypass System is not required to protect fuel integrity during the applicable transients. The 4-hour Completion Time is reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS Cycling each required main turbine bypass valve through one complete cycle of full travel (including the fast opening feature) demonstrates that the valves are mechanically OPERABLE and will function when required.

The 31-day Frequency is based on engineering judgment, is consistent with the procedural controls governing valve operation, and ensures correct valve positions. Operating experience has shown that these components usually pass the SR when performed at the 31 day Frequency. Therefore, the Frequency is acceptable from a reliability standpoint.

SR 3.7.6.2 The Main Turbine Bypass System is required to actuate automatically to perform its design function. This SR demonstrates that, with the required system initiation signals (simulate automatic actuation), the valves will actuate to their required position. The 24 month Frequency is based on the need to (continued)
