==SUMMARY==
DESCRIPTION instrumentation and control (I&C) systems provide the capability to monitor and control the NE facility systems manually and automatically during normal conditions and maintain the lity in a safe condition under accident conditions.
chapter describes the design of the I&C systems, including classification, functional uirements and architecture, and demonstrates the systems capabilities to perform safety and safety-related functions. The scope of the information provided in this chapter includes tems that are safety-related as defined by SHINEs Quality Assurance Program Description nonsafety-related I&C systems that perform specific regulatory required functions.
tion 7.1 provides an introduction and overview of I&C systems, which include safety-related nonsafety-related systems. Systems and topics addressed in this chapter include:
* the process integrated control system (PICS) and vendor-provided nonsafety-related control systems
* the target solution vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS)
* the engineered safety feature actuation system (ESFAS)
* the highly integrated protection system (HIPS) underlying TRPS and ESFAS
* facility control room control consoles and displays
* radiation monitoring, including
      - safety-related process radiation monitors considered part of the ESFAS, TRPS, and tritium purification system (TPS)
      - nonsafety-related process radiation monitors included as part of other facility processes
      - the radiation area monitoring system (RAMS)
      - the continuous air monitoring system (CAMS)
      - the stack release monitoring system (SRMS)
* the neutron flux detection system (NFDS) architectural design of I&C systems is based on providing clear interconnection interfaces of lity I&C structures, systems, and components. Each irradiation unit (IU) has an independent ty-related TRPS and NFDS. A single nonsafety-related PICS provides the nonsafety tions of the IUs and facility level nonsafety-related functions. An ESFAS is provided for ty-related functions that are common to the entire facility. The RAMS, CAMS, and SRMS vide their functions at a facility level separate from the irradiation units.
mplified block diagram of the overall I&C system architecture is provided in Figure 7.1-1.
1        PROCESS INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM PICS is a nonsafety-related distributed digital control system that provides monitoring and trol of the various processes throughout the SHINE facility. The PICS includes system trols, both automated and manual, and human system interfaces (HSIs) necessary to provide operator interaction with the necessary process control mechanism. The HSIs provided in the lity control room (FCR) are described in Section 7.6.
NE Medical Technologies                      7.1-1                                      Rev. 1
 
trol and monitoring of the systems and components in the radioisotope production facility F).
functions of the PICS enable the operator to perform irradiation cycles, transfer target tion to and from the IU as well as throughout the RPF, and interface with the TPS, processes e supercell, waste handling operations, and the auxiliary systems.
ddition to the PICS, certain systems contain vendor-provided nonsafety-related control tems which interface with the PICS. These systems consist of the neutron driver assembly tem (NDAS) controls, supercell controls, and various auxiliary system controls.
PICS and other vendor -provided nonsafety-related control systems are further described in tion 7.3.
2        TARGET SOLUTION VESSEL REACTIVITY PROTECTION SYSTEM purpose of the TRPS is to monitor process variables and provide automatic initiating signals esponse to off-normal conditions, providing protection against unsafe IU operation during the illing, irradiation, and post-irradiation modes of operation. Each IU has its own TRPS, figured as shown in Figure 7.1-2. The major safety function of the TRPS is to monitor ables associated with the IU and trip the neutron driver and actuate the engineered safety ures when specified setpoints, based on analytical limits, are reached or exceeded.
TRPS maintains the modes of operation of the IU and creates the necessary interlocks and missives on each safety function needed for the different modes. Modes are transitioned uentially using an operator input.
TRPS also transmits status and information signals to the nonsafety-related maintenance kstation (MWS) and to the PICS for display in the FCR, trending, and historian purposes.
TRPS uses the HIPS platform as described in Section 2.0 of NuScale Topical ort TR-1015-18653, Design of Highly Integrated Protection System Platform (NuScale, 7). HIPS is a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based system. The TRPS incorporates fundamental I&C principles of independence, redundancy, predictability and repeatability, diversity and defense-in-depth as used by the HIPS platform. SHINE relies on the prior NRC roval of the HIPS platform described in the HIPS topical report Safety Evaluation Report R) (USNRC, 2017) to demonstrate the acceptability of the platform for use in the SHINE lity and to partially demonstrate that the design of the TRPS meets SHINE Design Criteria.
TRPS includes the following safety-related (except where noted otherwise) components:
* one division of input modules, signal conditioning, and trip determination
* two divisions of input modules, signal conditioning, trip determination, voting and actuation equipment
* two divisions of power distribution panels
* power supplies for sensors and TRPS components
* two nonsafety-related MWSs (shared with the ESFAS)
* manual input switches NE Medical Technologies                      7.1-2                                        Rev. 1
 
TRPS is further described in Section 7.4.
3        ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM purpose of the ESFAS is to monitor process variables and provide automatic initiating als in response to off-normal conditions, providing protection against unsafe conditions in the n production facility. The ESFAS is a plant level control system not specific to any operating or process, configured as shown in Figure 7.1-3. The two major safety functions of the FAS are to provide:
* sense and command functions necessary to maintain the facility confinement strategy and
* process actuation functions as required by the safety analysis.
ESFAS also transmits status and information signals to the nonsafety-related MWS and to PICS for display in the FCR, trending, and historian purposes.
ESFAS, like the TRPS, is also built using the HIPS platform as described in Section 2.0 of cale Topical Report TR-1015-18653, Design of Highly Integrated Protection System form (NuScale, 2017). The ESFAS incorporates the fundamental I&C principles of pendence, redundancy, predictability and repeatability, and diversity and defense-in-depth sed by the HIPS platform. SHINE relies on the prior NRC approval of the HIPS platform cribed in the HIPS topical report Safety Evaluation Report (SER) (USNRC, 2017) to onstrate the acceptability of the platform for use in the SHINE facility and to partially onstrate that the design of the ESFAS meets SHINE Design Criteria.
ESFAS includes the following safety-related components (except where noted otherwise):
* one division of input modules, signal conditioning, and trip determination
* two divisions of input modules, signal conditioning, trip determination, voting and actuation equipment
* two divisions of power distribution panels
* power supplies for sensors and ESFAS components
* two nonsafety-related MWSs (shared with the TRPS)
* manual input switches boundary of the ESFAS extends from the terminations of the cabling at the output of the sors to the terminations of the cabling to each actuation component of the ESFAS.
ESFAS is further described in Section 7.5.
4        HIGHLY INTEGRATED PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGN HIPS platform is a generic digital safety-related I&C platform devoted to the implementation afety-related applications in nuclear facilities. The platform is a logic-based platform that does utilize software or microprocessors for operation. It is composed of logic implemented using rete components and FPGA technology. The platform is described in detail in Section 2.0 of NE Medical Technologies                      7.1-3                                        Rev. 1
 
5        CONTROL CONSOLE AND DISPLAYS operator workstations and main control board are provided as the HSI subset of components he FCR. These components are included as part of the PICS and are classified as nonsafety-ted.
two operator workstations provide operators with interactive displays to perform daily vities for the SHINE facility. The displays at the operator workstation are capable of being nged to the appropriate screen applicable to the activities that the operator is performing ng day-to-day operations of the SHINE facility. Additional equipment, located between the operator workstations and usable by either operator, is dedicated to controlling the eight AS units located in the IU cells.
main control board, located in front of the two operator workstations, includes both digital lays and limited manual interfaces.
main control board provides the operator with multiple digital displays, configured to tinuously display variables important to safety-related system status for individual IUs and the nce of the SHINE facility. The displays on the main control board are used to support manual ation of safety-related systems and to verify correct operation of the safety-related systems e event of an actuation.
main control board provides operator interfaces for:
* manual actuation of the TRPS and ESFAS protective functions,
* the enable nonsafety function, which allows PICS control of the actuation and priority logic (APL) output state (i.e., deenergized or energized), and
* the facility operating permissive key, which is used to place the main production facility into a secure state.
supervisor workstation is located at the rear of the facility control room and acts as an nsion of the operator workstations. The supervisor workstation is equipped with equipment lay screens that allow the supervisor to monitor system status, but not control facility ponents.
ility controls are designed and located using consideration of human factors engineering ciples. SHINE uses human factors engineering principles to facilitate the safe, efficient, and ble performance of operations, maintenance, tests, inspections, and surveillance tasks, and nsure the implementation of operator interfaces, indicators, and controls are standardized oss vendors.
se systems are further described in Section 7.6.
NE Medical Technologies                      7.1-4                                        Rev. 1
 
iation monitoring is used to monitor radiation levels within the SHINE facility, to provide ms for personnel within the facility and the control room, to provide actuation signals to ty-related control systems, and to monitor airborne effluent streams from the facility.
ety-related process radiation monitoring is performed by ESFAS, TRPS and TPS radiation nitors. These monitors provide input into the safety-related controls to provide input for safety ations and interlocks, and provide indication and alarm signals to the FCR.
safety-related process radiation monitors are used in select facility processes to provide us information and diagnose off-normal process conditions.
a radiation monitoring and local alarms within the general areas of the facility radiologically trolled area (RCA) are provided by the RAMS. This nonsafety-related system also provides als to the FCR to inform operators of abnormal conditions within the facility.
orne contamination monitoring within general areas of the RCA is performed by the CAMS.
CAMS units are nonsafety-related devices that provide local alarms and provide signals to FCR to inform operators of the occurrence and approximate location of abnormal conditions.
mal airborne facility effluents are directed into a single facility stack and are monitored by the k release monitor. An alternate safety-related vent path for the nitrogen purge system is nitored by the carbon delay bed effluent monitor. These nonsafety-related effluent monitors vide control room indication and alarm. The main production facility does not have a normal id effluent path from the RCA, and as such no liquid effluent monitoring system is provided.
se systems are further described in Section 7.7.
7        NEUTRON FLUX DETECTION SYSTEM NFDS is used for monitoring the reactivity and power of the subcritical assembly system in IU. The NFDS is a safety-related system with redundant channels of neutron flux detectors.
NFDS detects and provides remote indication of the neutron flux levels during TSV filling irradiation to determine the multiplication factor and power levels, respectively. The NFDS vides safety-related outputs to the TRPS used for trip determination. The NFDS also provides safety-related outputs to the PICS, which are used for monitoring of conditions within the IU.
ee sets of NFDS detectors are provided for each IU, located in the light water pool ounding the subcritical assembly support structure (SASS).
ee NFDS divisions, designated as Division A, Division B, and Division C, serve each IU. The DS divisions are powered from safety-related power feeds, and the equipment associated each NFDS division maintains electrical and physical separation with the other divisions for same IU.
NFDS is further described in Section 7.8.

1        SYSTEM DESCRIPTION SHINE facility instrumentation and control systems are described in Section 7.1 and are e fully described in Chapter 7.
SHINE safety-related instrumentation and control systems are:
* the target solution vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS) (Section 7.4)
* the engineered safety feature actuation system (ESFAS) (Section 7.5)
* the neutron flux detection system (NFDS) (Section 7.8)
* safety-related process radiation monitors associated with the TRPS, ESFAS and tritium purification system (TPS) (Section 7.7)
SHINE nonsafety-related instrumentation and control systems are:
* the process integrated control system (PICS) and vendor-provided controls (Section 7.3)
* facility control room (FCR) control consoles and displays (Section 7.6)
* nonsafety-related radiation monitors (Section 7.7) mplified block diagram of the overall I&C system architecture is provided in Figure 7.1-1.
ailed descriptions of the above systems, including equipment and major components, control protection system development processes, and operational, support, and operator interface uirements, are provided in Sections 7.3 through 7.8.
NE uses a documented methodology for establishing and calibrating setpoints for safety-ted I&C functions. A combination of statistical and algebraic methods is used to combine rument uncertainties to determine the total instrument loop uncertainty for each setpoint. The hodology considers both random and non-random uncertainties, and considers process asurement and miscellaneous effects uncertainties, sensor uncertainties, and protection tem processing uncertainties. Instrument drift between calibrations is accounted for in the oint methodology. The methodology is used to ensure an adequate margin exists between lytical limits and instrument setpoints so that protective actions are initiated before safety ts are exceeded.
2        DESIGN CRITERIA design criteria of the I&C systems were derived from the criteria in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, 10 CFR 70.64(a), as described in Table 3.1-3, as well as guidance provided in Chapter 7 of REG-1537, Part 1 and the Final Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) Augmenting NUREG-1537, t 1. The criteria were applied in a graded approach to each I&C system.
SHINE facility design criteria are described in Section 3.1. Table 3.1-1 and Table 3.1-2 show the facility design criteria are applied to each I&C system. System-specific design criteria provided in Sections 7.3 through 7.8. Sections 7.3 through 7.8 additionally describe how the lity design criteria and system-specific design criteria are met or implemented for each I&C tem.

3      DESIGN BASES design bases requirements identified for each I&C system in Sections 7.3 through 7.8 are blished for safe facility operation and to prevent or mitigate the process hazards and ential accident sequences identified in the accident analysis described in FSAR Chapter 13.
I&C design meets established design criteria to ensure safety functions are performed sistently and completely to fulfill the safety intent.
ety functions, applicable modes of operation, permissive conditions, monitored variables and r ranges, conditions for manual control, and any other special design bases requirements cific to each of the I&C systems are described in Sections 7.3 through 7.8.
ironmental and radiological parameters applicable to I&C components located in different as of the facility are provided in Tables 7.2-1 through 7.2-6 and are referred to in Sections 7.3 ugh 7.8.
ironmental parameters inside the main production facility are maintained by the facility ting, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, which are described in Section 9a2.1.
4      OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE ration and performance are addressed for each instrumentation and control system in tions 7.3 through 7.8. The operation and performance analysis describes how the system ign criteria and design bases are met for performance of the system design functions. The ussions include, but are not limited to, descriptions of instrumentation and control system ons, setpoints, and how a single failure affects the ability of the system to perform the safety tions.

1        SYSTEM DESCRIPTION PICS is a collection of instrumentation and control equipment located throughout the facility upport monitoring, indication, and control of various systems. A portion of the PICS supports main control board and operator workstations in the facility control room by receiving operator mands and collecting and transmitting facility information to the operators, as described in tion 7.6. An architecture of the PICS is provided in Figure 7.3-1.

escription of the PICS process monitoring functions, control functions, interlocks, alarms, and lays is provided for each facility system where the PICS provides these functions. If licable, the vendor-provided nonsafety-related controls are also described for each facility tem. In addition to the variables described below, PICS monitors valve or damper position dback as needed to perform control functions or implement interlocks and permissives.
1.1          Irradiation Unit Systems PICS is used to monitor parameters and perform manual and automatic actions during each he operational modes of a subcritical assembly system (SCAS):
Mode 0 - Solution Removed: No target solution in the SCAS Mode 1 - Startup: Filling the target solution vessel (TSV)
Mode 2 - Irradiation: Operating mode (neutron driver active)
Mode 3 - Post-Irradiation: TSV dump valves open Mode 4 - Transfer to the RPF: Dump tank drain valve opens to permit solution transfer systems associated with SCAS modes of operation include the SCAS itself, the NDAS, the off-gas system (TOGS), the primary closed loop cooling system (PCLS), and the neutron detection system (NFDS).
de 0 - Solution Removed ode 0, the PICS provides the capability to control equipment needed to transition an IU into de 1, including closing the TSV fill valves and dump valves and starting the TOGS blowers as ded to meet mode transition criteria. The PICS also provides monitoring and controls of the mon tritium purification system (TPS), which is integrated with the modes of operation for h IU cell.
de 1 - Startup Mode r the operator transitions the IU to Mode 1 using the operating mode input to the TSV ctivity protection system (TRPS), the PICS is used to open the TSV fill valves and operate the uum transfer system (VTS) to add target solution to the TSV from the associated target tion hold tank.

calculation. The PICS also provides defense-in-depth time limits and interlocks to control the ximum volumetric step addition during the 1/M fill process to prevent challenging the TRPS Stop actuation function described in Section 7.4.
de 2 - Irradiation en the TSV fill has been completed, PICS is used to close the TSV fill valves to meet Mode 2 sition criteria. The PICS provides an interlock with the source range channel of the NFDS to vent TSV irradiation without sufficient neutron counts on the detectors and, when that missive is met, PICS is used to close the neutron driver breakers to enable the target solution e TSV to be irradiated. The PICS interfaces with the NDAS control system to start or stop the er and is used to control the introduction of tritium into the NDAS target from the TPS.
ing irradiation, PICS is used to monitor neutron flux levels, concentrations of radiolytic gases erated, NDAS performance parameters, and other parameters associated with the irradiation cess.
de 3 - Post-Irradiation neutron driver breakers are opened by the PICS, ending the irradiation period and satisfying mode transition criteria, allowing the operator to transition from Mode 2 to Mode 3. When sitioning from Mode 2 to Mode 3 during normal operations, the PICS provides the mode sition signal from the TRPS to automatically open the TSV dump valves to drain the target tion to the dump tank. While in Mode 3, the PICS is used to monitor TOGS and SCAS rational parameters while the solution is held for decay.
de 4 - Transfer to RPF r the operator transitions the IU to Mode 4, the PICS is used to open the TSV dump tank n isolation valve allowing the target solution to be vacuum lifted out of the IU cell, pumped ugh an extraction column, and drained to a target solution hold tank. The PICS is used to ct the flow path for the transfer to the desired extraction cell and to operate the VTS which omplishes the lift.
en the solution has been removed from the dump tank, the operator uses PICS to verify that
-high TSV dump tank level is inactive, meeting the Mode 4 to Mode 0 transition criteria.
1.1.1        Subcritical Assembly System SCAS maintains fissile material in a subcritical, but highly multiplying configuration during irradiation process to produce molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) and other fission products. The AS is described in Section 4a2.2.

Components that are capable of being actuated by TRPS are controlled by S as described in Subsection 7.3.1.3.11.
PICS provides a signal to the TRPS, when manually initiated by the operator, to sequentially sition the TRPS from one mode to the next.
en a TSV fill sequence is manually initiated, the PICS opens and closes the TSV lift tank uum valve and the TSV fill valves according to a programmed sequence to add a manually ered prescribed volume to the TSV. The PICS uses feedback from the TSV fill lift tank level ches and valve position indication to accomplish this sequence. At or above 40 percent of the ximum 95 percent fill neutron flux, the time the TSV fill valve is open is limited to less than
            ]PROP/ECI to prevent reliance on the TRPS Fill Stop function (Subsection 7.4.4.1.18).
TSV fill lift sequence can be manually aborted by the operator.
en a TSV drain sequence is manually initiated and the operator manually enters a solution time, the PICS provides a signal to the TRPS to transition to Mode 3, opens the TSV dump es, verifies the TSV lift tank vacuum valve is closed, and opens the TSV fill valves to drain target solution remaining in the fill lines to the TSV dump tank via the TSV. When TSV level cates the TSV is drained, the PICS closes the TSV fill valves and starts a timer for the viously entered solution hold time.
solution hold time portion of the TSV drain sequence can be manually aborted by the rator.
rlocks and Permissives PICS provides an interlock at or above 40 percent of the maximum 95 percent fill neutron to limit the fill rate of the TSV.
PICS additionally provides permissives and interlocks to:
* Prevent the NDAS high voltage power supply (HVPS) from being energized if any of the TSV fill valves, TSV dump valves, TSV dump tank drain valve, or nitrogen purge system (N2PS) inerting gas isolation valves are open.
* Prevent the TSV fill valves from opening in Mode 1 if the median value of the three values of TOGS mainstream flow inputs for both TOGS trains is below the allowable value.
* Prevent the TSV fill valves from opening in Mode 1 if either TSV dump valve is open.
* Prevent the TSV dump tank drain valve from opening until the solution hold time has elapsed.

* Allow transition from Mode 1 to Mode 2 only when both TSV dump valves are closed, both TSV fill valves are closed, and TSV level is above an allowable level, indicating the TSV contains sufficient solution for irradiation.
* Allow transition from Mode 3 to Mode 4 only when TSV level is below an allowable level indicating solution has been drained, and the TSV dump tank low-high level signal is present indicating solution is in the TSV dump tank.
* Allow transition from Mode 4 to Mode 0 only when TSV level is below an allowable level indicating solution has been drained, the TSV dump tank low-high level signal is clear indicating solution has been removed from the TSV dump tank, and the TSV fill valves are closed.

Target Solution Vessel Chapter 7 - Instrumentation and Control Systems                        Reactivity Protection System 7.4      TARGET SOLUTION VESSEL REACTIVITY PROTECTION SYSTEM 7.4.1        SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The target solution vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS) is a safety-related instrumentation and control (I&C) system consisting of eight independent instances, or subsystems, each dedicated to one of the eight irradiation units (IU) in the SHINE irradiation facility.
The TRPS performs various design basis safety functions as required by the SHINE safety analysis described in Chapter 13 for accelerator-based irradiation processes taking place within each IU cell. While operating, the TRPS performs various detection, logic processing, control, and actuation functions associated with the SHINE irradiation process. The TRPS includes input/output capabilities necessary to interface with various indications and control components located within the facility control room. The TRPS also provides nonsafety-related system status and measured process variable values to the process integrated control system (PICS) for viewing, recording, and trending.
The TRPS monitors variables important to the safety functions of the irradiation process during each operating mode of the IU to perform one or more of the following safety functions:
* IU Cell Safety Actuation
* IU Cell Nitrogen Purge
* IU Cell Tritium Purification System (TPS) Actuation
* Driver Dropout The TRPS also performs the nonsafety defense-in-depth Fill Stop function.
The TRPS monitors the IU cell from filling of the TSV through irradiation of the target solution, dumping of the target solution, and transfer of the target solution to the radioisotope production facility (RPF). All advances to the modes of operation throughout the irradiation process are manually initiated by the operator and the TRPS implements the required mode-specific system interlocks and bypasses; however, the TRPS does not automatically determine the mode of operation. If at any point during the irradiation process a monitored variable indicating unsafe conditions exceeds its setpoint, the TRPS automatically places the IU into a safe state. The TRPS logic diagrams are shown in Figure 7.4-1.
The TRPS uses redundant and independent sensors through three divisions to complete the logical decisions necessary to initiate the required protective trips and actuations. When a TRPS input channel exceeds a predetermined limit, the trip determinations from each division of the TRPS are sent to voting logic where a two-out-of-three coincident logic vote is performed to initiate a trip or actuation. The general architecture of the TRPS is shown in Figure 7.1-2.
The TRPS is designed using the highly integrated protection system (HIPS) platform, which is described in Subsection 7.4.5. TRPS equipment is separated into three divisions (A, B, and C).
The TRPS redundantly receives safety-related inputs from field instrumentation (input devices) to either two divisions (A and B) or all three divisions, dependent on the input variable. The input signals are provided to the TRPS safety function modules (SFMs) or, in the case of the TSV fill valve position indication, to a hardwired module (HWM). More than one input device provides a signal to each SFM. The inputs are allocated to the different SFMs (or HWM) within a division as SHINE Medical Technologies                      7.4-1                                        Rev. 3
 
ociated trip/bypass switch located below the SFM, as described in Subsection 7.4.4.3.
cing an SFM in trip or bypass causes all channels associated with that SFM to be placed in or bypass, respectively.
TRPS bypass logic is implemented in all three divisions using scheduling, bypass, and ng modules (SBVMs), for divisions A and B, or scheduling and bypass modules (SBMs), for sion C. The TRPS voting and actuation logic is implemented in only divisions A and B. For sions A and B, the three SBVMs, in each division, generate actuation signals when the SFMs ny two of the three divisions determine that an actuation is required. Both TRPS divisions A B evaluate the input signals from the SFMs in each of three redundant SBVMs. Each SBVM pares the inputs received from the SFMs and generates an appropriate actuation signal if uired by two or more of the three divisions.
output of the three redundant SBVMs in divisions A and B is communicated via three pendent safety data buses to the associated equipment interface modules (EIMs). There are independent EIMs for each actuation component, associated with each division A and B of PS. The EIMs compare inputs from the three SBVMs and initiate an actuation if two out of e signals agree on the need to actuate. Both EIMs associated with a component are required e deenergized for the actuation component(s) to fail to their actuated (deenergized) states.

TRPS Criterion 19 - A logical or software malfunction of any interfacing non-safety systems shall not affect the functions of the TRPS.
APL (which is constructed of discrete components and part of the EIM) is designed to vide priority to safety-related signals over nonsafety-related signals.

TRPS Criterion 34 - TRPS interlocks shall ensure that operator actions cannot defeat an automatic safety function during any operating condition where that safety function may be required.
rator action is required to transition the TRPS between normal operating modes as cribed in Subsection 7.4.3.2. Operational bypasses are initiated or removed dependent on TRPS mode of operation as described in Subsection 7.4.4.2. Interlocks are provided by PS to prevent the operator from transitioning to the next operating mode unless certain ditions are met, as described in Subsection 7.4.3.2, to ensure that operator actions cannot eat an automatic safety function during any operating condition where that safety function y be required.
TRPS Criterion 35 - TRPS provisions shall exist to prevent activation of an operating bypass unless applicable permissive conditions exist.
PS implements logic associated with each mode of operation to prevent an operator from vating a bypass through changing the IU cell mode out of sequential order. Each mode of ration is achieved through manual input from the operator when permissive conditions for the t mode in the sequence have been met (Subsection 7.4.4.2).
TRPS Criterion 36 - Bypass capability shall not be provided for the mechanisms to manually initiate TRPS safety.

Use of the maintenance bypass either preserves the le failure criterion where three channels are provided or is performed in accordance with nical specification requirements (Subsection 7.4.4.3).
TRPS Criterion 38 - Whenever permissive conditions for bypassing a train or channel in the TRPS are not met, a feature in the TRPS shall physically prevent or facilitate administrative controls to prevent the unauthorized use of bypasses.
rator action is required to transition the TRPS between normal operating modes as cribed in Subsection 7.4.3.2. Operational bypasses are initiated or removed dependent on TRPS mode of operation as described in Subsection 7.4.4.2. Interlocks are provided by PS to prevent the operator from transitioning to the next operating mode unless certain ditions are met, as described in Subsection 7.4.3.2.
TRPS Criterion 39 - All TRPS operating bypasses, either manually or automatically initiated, shall be automatically removed when the facility moves to an operating regime where the protective action would be required if an accident occurred.
rational bypasses are automatically initiated or removed dependent on the TRPS mode of ration, as described in Subsection 7.4.4.2, when the associated IU is moved from one mode peration to another, to ensure the automatic protective functions are available when required.
TRPS Criterion 40 - If operating conditions change so that an active operating bypass is no longer permissible, the TRPS shall automatically accomplish one of the following actions:
* Remove the appropriate active operating bypass(es).
* Restore conditions so that permissive conditions once again exist.
* Initiate the appropriate safety function(s).
rator action is required to transition the TRPS between normal operating modes as cribed in Subsection 7.4.3.2. Operational bypasses are initiated or removed dependent on TRPS mode of operation as described in Subsection 7.4.4.2. Interlocks are provided by PS to prevent the operator from transitioning to the next operating mode unless certain ditions are met, as described in Subsection 7.4.3.2.
TRPS Criterion 41 - Portions of TRPS execute features with a degree of redundancy of one shall be designed so that when a portion is placed in maintenance bypass (i.e., reducing temporarily its degree of redundancy to zero), the remaining portions provide acceptable reliability.
ere three channels are provided, taking an SFM out of service preserves the single failure rion for variables associated with that SFM. In cases where only two channels are provided, ng a channel out of service will actuate the associated safety function. For testing purposes, ing a channel in maintenance bypass will be allowed by technical specifications for up to hours to perform required testing. Two hours is considered acceptable due to the continued rability of the redundant channel(s) and the low likelihood that an accident would occur in e two hours (Subsection 7.4.4.3).

3.1          Safety Functions TRPS consists of eight subsystems, one for each of the eight IUs. The safety functions cribed in this subsection are applicable to each TRPS subsystem independently.
3.1.1        IU Cell Safety Actuation IU Cell Safety Actuation is initiated in response to process variables indicating abnormal ditions. An IU Cell Safety Actuation shuts down the irradiation process and isolates the ary system boundary and primary confinement boundary.
IU Cell Safety Actuation is relied upon as a safety-related control in accordance with the NE safety analysis described in Chapter 13 for insertion of excess reactivity events bsection 13a2.1.2, Scenarios 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 11), reduction in cooling events bsection 13a2.1.3, Scenarios 1 and 2), mishandling or malfunction of target solution events bsection 13a2.1.4, Scenario 4), external events (Subsection 13a2.1.6, Scenarios 2 and 5),
e undamped power oscillations (Subsection 13a2.1.8), detonation and deflagration in the ary system boundary (Subsection 13a2.1.9, Scenarios 1 and 2), system interaction events bsection 13a2.1.11, Scenarios 1 and 2), and facility specific - neutron driver assembly tem (NDAS) events (Subsection 13a2.1.12, Scenario 3).
U Cell Safety Actuation causes a transition of the TRPS to Mode 3 operation, isolation of the ary system boundary, and isolation of the primary confinement boundary via transition of h of the following components to their deenergized state.

* IU Cell Nitrogen Purge
* Facility master operating permissive gh time averaged neutron flux is calculated from power range neutron flux over a 45 second ng average.
section 7.4.4 provides additional details for each condition that results in an IU Cell Safety uation.
3.1.2        IU Cell Nitrogen Purge IU Cell Nitrogen Purge is initiated when monitored variables indicate a loss of hydrogen ombination capability in the IU. An IU Cell Nitrogen Purge results in purging the primary tem boundary for the affected IU with nitrogen.
IU Cell Nitrogen Purge is relied upon as a safety-related control in accordance with the NE safety analysis described in Chapter 13 for insertion of excess reactivity events bsection 13a2.1.2, Scenario 5), and detonation and deflagration in the primary system ndary (Subsection 13a2.1.9, Scenario 1).
IU Cell Nitrogen Purge consists of an automatically or manually initiated transition of each of following components associated with the affected IU to their deenergized state and provides NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-18                                      Rev. 3
* N2PS inerting gas isolation valves
* TOGS nitrogen vent isolation valves
* TOGS RPCS supply isolation valves
* TOGS RPCS return isolation valve TRPS initiates an IU Cell Nitrogen Purge based on the following variables:
* Low-high TSV dump tank level
* High-high TSV dump tank level
* Low TOGS oxygen concentration
* Low TOGS mainstream flow (Train A)
* Low TOGS mainstream flow (Train B)
* Low TOGS dump tank flow
* High TOGS condenser demister outlet temperature (Train A)
* High TOGS condenser demister outlet temperature (Train B)
* ESFAS loss of external power 3.1.3        IU Cell TPS Actuation IU Cell TPS Actuation is initiated when monitored variables indicate a release of tritium in a glovebox. An IU Cell TPS Actuation results in isolating the TPS lines into and out of the ell, isolating the RVZ1 exhaust out of the IU cell, and deenergizing the neutron driver.
IU Cell TPS Actuation consists of an automatically or manually initiated transition of each of following components to their deenergized state and initiating a Driver Dropout (see section 7.4.3.1.4):
* TPS target chamber supply isolation valves
* TPS deuterium supply isolation valves
* TPS target chamber exhaust isolation valves
* TPS neutron driver evacuation isolation valves
* RVZ1e IU cell isolation valves TRPS initiates an IU Cell TPS Actuation based on the following variables:
* ESFAS IU Cell TPS Actuation
* ESFAS TPS Process Vent Actuation 3.1.4        Driver Dropout river Dropout responds to monitored variables that indicate a loss of neutron driver output or ss of cooling to allow the subcritical assembly system (SCAS) to recover from NDAS or PCLS sients. A Driver Dropout functions differently depending on whether it was initiated based on of neutron driver output or loss of cooling.

narios 1 and 2). The TRPS initiates a Driver Dropout based on:
* Low power range neutron flux
* Low PCLS flow
* High PCLS temperature
* IU Cell TPS Actuation TRPS initiates a loss of neutron driver Driver Dropout on low power range neutron flux by ning the NDAS HVPS breakers with a timed delay. Driver Dropout on low power range tron flux is bypassed until the power range neutron flux has reached the power range driver pout permissive. After the bypass of Driver Dropout on low power range neutron flux has n removed, it remains removed until a mode transition or both HVPS breakers are open. The PS implements a timed delay of [                  ]PROP/ECI from the time the low power range tron flux signal is initiated, indicating that the neutron flux has exceeded its lower limits, to n the TRPS output to the HVPS breakers is deenergized. If fewer than two-out-of-three low er range neutron flux actuation signals are present before the timer has expired, then the low er range neutron flux timer resets. This delay allows the neutron driver to be restarted or to art automatically within analyzed conditions.
TRPS initiates a loss of cooling Driver Dropout on low PCLS cooling water flow or high PCLS ling water supply temperature to open the NDAS HVPS breakers without a timed delay. This ts down the neutron driver to prevent overheating of the target solution, while allowing the et solution to remain within the TSV. The breakers are then interlocked open until the PCLS and temperature are in the allowable range. If PCLS flow and temperature are not in the wable range within 180 seconds, an IU Cell Safety Actuation is initiated, as described in section 7.4.3.1.1.
3.2          Mode Transition design of the TRPS includes use of permissives and interlocks to control transition between perating modes to ensure safe operation of the main production facility. IU operating modes described in Subsection 7.3.1.1.
h mode transition in the TRPS is initiated manually through the PICS; however, transition to de 3 can occur automatically by an IU Cell Safety Actuation or by use of the control key to ctivate the facility master operating permissive. Before an operator is able to manually sition to a different mode, the transition criteria conditions must be met. Figure 7.4-1 shows a e diagram of the mode transitions.
de 0 to Mode 1 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent transitioning from Mode 0 to Mode 1 until the TSV dump valves TSV fill isolation valves have been confirmed to be closed and TOGS mainstream flow is at bove the low flow limit. Normal control of actuation component positions when going from de 0 to Mode 1 is manual and independent from TRPS mode transition.
NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-20                                        Rev. 3
 
nsition from Mode 0 to Mode 3 is initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an operator manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition erates an IU Cell Safety Actuation.
de 1 to Mode 2 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent transitioning from Mode 1 to Mode 2 until the TSV fill isolation es indicate fully closed. Normal control of actuation component positions when going from de 1 to Mode 2 is manual and independent from TRPS mode transition.
de 1 to Mode 3 Transition Criteria nsition from Mode 1 to Mode 3 is initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an operator manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition erates IU Cell Safety Actuation.
de 2 to Mode 3 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent transitioning from Mode 2 to Mode 3 until the NDAS HVPS akers have been confirmed opened. Normal control of the HVPS breakers from closed to n is manual and independent from TRPS mode transition. Normal transition of the dump es to the open position is automated by PICS upon receipt of a mode transition signal from PS to PICS signifying that the TRPS has entered Mode 3.
nsition from Mode 2 to Mode 3 may also be initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an rator via manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this sition generates an IU Cell Safety Actuation.
de 3 to Mode 4 Transition Criteria nsition of the TRPS from Mode 3 to Mode 4 is prevented if an automated IU Cell Safety uation is present. Normal control of actuation components is manual and independent from PS mode transition.
de 3 to Secure State Transition Criteria nsition from Mode 3 to the secure state is initiated manually by an operator via disengaging facility master operating permissive. While operating in the secure state, transition to another de of operation is not allowed.
de 4 to Mode 0 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent the transition from Mode 4 to Mode 0 until the TSV dump tank l is below the low-high dump tank level setpoint. There is no requirement for normal control of actuation components to transition from Mode 4 to Mode 0.
NE Medical Technologies                    7.4-21                                          Rev. 3
 
nsition from Mode 4 to Mode 3 is initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an operator manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition erates an IU Cell Safety Actuation.
ure State to Mode 3 Transition Criteria nsition from the secure state to Mode 3 is initiated manually by an operator via engaging the lity master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition permits a transition to another de of operation.
3.3          Completion of Protective Actions TRPS is designed so that once initiated, protective actions will continue to completion. Only berate operator action can be taken to reset the TRPS following a protective action.
ure 7.4-1 shows how the TRPS latches in a protective action and maintains the state of a ective action until operator input is initiated to reset the output of the TRPS to normal rating conditions.
output of the TRPS is designed so that actuation through automatic or manual means of a ty function can only deenergize the output. If there is no signal present from the automatic ty actuation or manual safety actuation, then the output of the EIM remains in its current
: e. A safety-related enable nonsafety switch allows a facility operator, after the switch has n brought to enable, to control the output state of the TRPS with a hardwired binary control al from the nonsafety-related controls. The enable nonsafety switch is classified as part of safety system and is used to prevent spurious nonsafety-related control signals from ersely affecting safety-related components. If the enable nonsafety switch is active, and no omatic safety actuation or manual safety actuation signals are present, the operator is able of energizing or deenergizing any EIM outputs using the nonsafety-related hardwired trol signals. If the enable nonsafety switch is not active, the nonsafety-related hardwired trol signals are ignored.
3.4          Single Failure TRPS consists of three divisions of input processing and trip determination and two divisions ctuation logic (see Figure 7.1-2), arranged such that no single failure within the TRPS results e loss of the protective function, and no single failure in a single measurement channel can erate an unnecessary safety actuation.
safety-related inputs into the TRPS are designed and controlled so they do not prevent the PS from performing its safety functions. The only nonsafety inputs into the TRPS are those the PICS for control, the discrete mode input, and monitoring and indication only variables.
nonsafety control signals from the PICS are implemented through a hardwired parallel rface that requires the PICS to send a binary address associated to the output state of the along with a mirrored complement address. The mirrored complement address prevents any le incorrectly presented bit from addressing the wrong EIM output state. To prevent the PICS inadvertently presenting a valid address, the TRPS contains a safety-related enable safety switch that controls when the hardwired parallel interface within the APL is active, thus NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-22                                        Rev. 3
 
ted control signal is ignored. If the enable nonsafety is active, and no automatic or manual ty actuation command is present, the nonsafety-related control signal can control the TRPS put. The HWM provides isolation for the nonsafety-related signal path.
discrete mode input has a unique input for each of Division A and Division B. The HWM vides isolation of the signal path into the TRPS. As a discrete input, the three failure modes are addressed are stuck high, stuck low, or oscillating. Because the TRPS only clocks in a mode on the rising edge of the mode input, an input stuck low or high would maintain the PS in the same mode and continue monitoring the variables important to the safe operation of mode. If the mode input began oscillating continuously between a logic high and low, the PS would only allow the mode to change if permissive conditions for the current mode are
. If the permissive conditions place the IU into a state that within the transitioned mode are ide of the predetermined operating limits, then the TRPS would initiate an IU Cell Safety uation and transition to and maintain Mode 3, ignoring any further input from the discrete de input.
ations exist in the design where TRPS only actuates a Division A component and there is no esponding Division B component, or, there is a passive check valve credited as a redundant ponent. These situations are considered acceptable since the safety function includes a arate, redundant, and passive component (i.e., check valve) which does not need to be nitored or manipulated by the TRPS.
h input variable to the TRPS for monitoring and indication only is processed on independent t submodules that are unique to that input. If the variable is not used for a safety function
, no trip determination is performed with the variable or the variable is used only for actuated ponent position indication), then the variable is not connected to the safety data buses and is placed onto the monitoring and indication bus. The monitoring and indication bus is used by monitoring and indication communication module (MI-CM) without interacting with any of the ty data paths.
TRPS provides separate communication paths to the PICS display systems from each of the e TRPS divisions. TRPS divisions A and B are powered from a separate division of the terruptible electrical power supply system (UPSS); TRPS division C receives auctioneered er from both UPSS divisions A and B.
3.5          Operating Conditions TRPS control and logic functions are located inside of the facility control room, where the ironment is mild and not exposed to the irradiation process, and is not subjected to rational cycling. However, cables providing signals to and from the TRPS are routed through radiologically controlled area (RCA) and into the IUs, where those cables are exposed to sher environments. Many of the sensors providing information to the TRPS are connected to primary system boundary, so the cable routing to these sensors is exposed to the operating ironment of the irradiation process.
ing normal operation, the TRPS equipment will operate in the applicable normal radiation ironments identified in Table 7.2-1 for up to 20 years, replaced at a frequency sufficient such the radiation qualification of the affected components is not exceeded.

conditioning (HVAC) systems are relied upon to maintain the temperature and humidity ameters in these areas. The facility HVAC systems are described in Section 9a2.1.
3.6          Seismic, Tornado, Flood TRPS equipment is installed in the seismically qualified portion of the main production facility re it is protected from earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods. The TRPS equipment is Seismic egory I, designed in accordance with Section 8 of IEEE Standard 344-2013 (IEEE, 2013).
3.7          Human Factors TRPS provides the following manual actuation capabilities via individual manual push ons for each TRPS subsystem:
* IU Cell Safety Actuation
* IU Cell Nitrogen Purge
* Driver Dropout h TRPS Divisions A and B respond to the activation of a push button. A manual IU Cell TPS uation on all eight TRPS subsystems is initiated via the manual TPS Isolation push button ted on the ESFAS main control board panel (see Subsection 7.5.3.6).
support the use of manual safety actuations, the TRPS subsystem associated with each IU includes isolated outputs for each safety-related instrument channel to provide monitoring indication information to the PICS. To facilitate operator indication of mode control status, PS actuation function status, manual initiation, and reset of protective actions, the TRPS, at division level, includes isolated input/output for the following:
* Indication of TRPS variable values
* Indication of TRPS parameter values
* Indication of TRPS logic status
* Indication of TRPS equipment status
* Indication of TRPS actuation device status
* Indication of TRPS mode rator display criteria and design are addressed in Section 7.6.
3.8          Loss of External Power TRPS is powered from the UPSS, which provides a reliable source of power to maintain the PS functional during normal operation and during and following a design basis event. The SS is designed to provide power to the TRPS for two hours after a loss of off-site power. The SS is described in Section 8a2.2.
trolled components associated with safety actuations are designed to go to their safe state n deenergized. On a loss of power to the TRPS, the TRPS deenergizes actuation ponents to the positions defined below:

ety-related equipment for different divisions is located in separate fire areas when practical.
eptions include components for all three divisions located in the facility control room, in an vidual irradiation unit (IU) or in TOGS cells, and in other locations where end devices are alled.
sical separation is used to achieve separation of redundant sensors. Wiring for redundant sions uses physical separation and isolation to provide independence for circuits. Separation iring is achieved using separate wireways and cable trays for each of Division A, Division B, Division C. Division A and C cables are routed along the south side of the RPF to go to the lity control room and Division B cables are routed on the north side of the RPF. Where sible, conduit is routed subgrade to provide additional separation. Instrument transmitters are ted in separate areas: A and C instrumentation is located primarily on the east side of the n production facility G-line wall, while Division B is along the west side of the wall.

Class C fire extinguishers for fire suppression are utilized in the facility control room to nguish fires originating within a cabinet, console, or connecting cables. Wet sprinklers are not d in the facility control room to avoid potentially impairing the ability of the TRPS to perform its ty functions.
combustible and heat resistant materials are used whenever practical in the TRPS design, icularly in locations such as confinement boundaries and the facility control room. Use of erials that release toxic or corrosive gases under combustion is minimized.
safety-related TRPS inputs and outputs are routed in non-divisional cable raceways and are regated from safety-related inputs and outputs. Spatial separation between cable and eway groups is in accordance with Section 5.1.1.2, Table 1 of Section 5.1.3.3, and Table 2 of tion 5.1.4 of IEEE 384-2008 (IEEE, 2008).

The setpoint values are ved from approved system design technical reports, design calculations, uncertainty ulations, and technical specifications.
3.12        Prioritization of Functions APL (which is constructed of discrete components and part of the EIM) is designed to vide priority to safety-related signals over nonsafety-related signals. Division A and Division B rity logic of the TRPS prioritizes the following TRPS inputs, with the first input listed having highest priority and each successive input in the list having a lower priority than the previous:
: 1) Automatic Safety Actuation, Manual Safety Actuation
: 2) PICS nonsafety control signals manual actuation signals input from the operators in the facility control room is brought ctly into the discrete APL The manual actuation input into the priority logic does not have the ity to be bypassed and will always have equal priority to the automated actuation signal over other signals that are present.

4        OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE section 7.4.4 discusses the operation of the TRPS.
TRPS design basis functions utilize redundant logic to ensure safe and reliable operation to prevent a single failure from defeating the intended function. Additional information related he effects of single failure, reliability, redundancy, and independence can be found in section 7.4.2 and Subsection 7.4.5.
4.1            Monitored Variables and Response le 7.4-1 identifies specific variables that provide input into the TRPS and includes the rument range for covering normal and accident conditions, the accuracy for each variable, the lytical limit, and response time. A discussion of each variable (signal input) and the system ponse is provided in this section.
4.1.1          High Source Range Neutron Flux high source range neutron flux signal protects against an insertion of excess reactivity during filling process (Subsection 13a2.1.2, Scenarios 5, 6, and 11). The signal is generated by PS when a source range neutron flux input exceeds the high level setpoint. The TRPS asses safety actuations based on the high source range neutron flux signal when filling vities cannot be in progress (i.e., Modes 2, 3, and 4), because the fill isolation valves are ed. The signal is transmitted as an analog input to the TRPS from the neutron flux detection NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-27                                      Rev. 3
 
Cell Safety Actuation is initiated.
4.1.2        Low Power Range Neutron Flux low power range neutron flux signal protects against loss of the neutron beam followed by a art of the neutron beam outside of analyzed conditions (Subsection 13a2.1.2, Scenario 4).
signal is generated by TRPS when a power range neutron flux input exceeds the low level oint. The low power range neutron flux is only used during the irradiation process (Mode 2) is bypassed in the other modes of operation. Safety actuations based on the low power ge neutron flux are bypassed until the power range neutron flux has reached the power range er dropout permissive. Once power range neutron flux levels have risen above the high oint, then the bypass on the low power range neutron flux is removed. The power range tron flux is measured as an analog input to the TRPS from the NFDS through three pendent and redundant channels, one for each division of TRPS. When two-out-of-three or e low power range neutron flux signals are active, a timer is started that must run to pletion for a Driver Dropout to be initiated. If, while the timer is running, less than two-out-of-e low power range neutron flux actuation signals are active, the timer is reset and the TRPS tinues operating under normal conditions.
4.1.3        High Time-Averaged Neutron Flux high time-averaged neutron flux signal protects against exceeding analyzed TSV power ls during Modes 1 and 2 (Subsection 13a2.1.2, Scenarios 1, 3, 5, and 10; section 13a2.1.6, Scenarios 2 and 5; and Subsection 13a2.1.8). The high time-averaged tron flux signal is generated by the TRPS, which averages the power range neutron flux input r a set time period, and compares the averaged power to the high level setpoint. The power ge neutron flux is measured as an analog input to the TRPS from the NFDS through three pendent and redundant channels, one for each division of TRPS. When two-out-of-three or e high time-averaged neutron flux signals are active, an IU Cell Safety Actuation is initiated.
4.1.4        High Wide Range Neutron Flux high wide power range neutron flux signal protects against exceeding solution power density ts during Modes 1 and 2 (Subsection 13a2.1.2, Scenario 4; and Subsection 13a2.1.8). The al is generated by TRPS when a wide range neutron flux input exceeds the high level oint. The wide range neutron flux is measured as an analog input to the TRPS from the DS through three independent and redundant channels, one for each division of TRPS. When
-out-of-three or more high wide range neutron flux actuation signals are active, an IU Cell ety Actuation is initiated.
4.1.5        High PCLS Temperature high PCLS temperature signal protects against a loss of cooling that could cause target tion heat-up (Subsection 13a2.1.2, Scenarios 2, 3, and 11; Subsection 13a2.1.3, narios 1 and 2; Subsection 13a2.1.6, Scenario 2; and Subsection 13a2.1.11, Scenario 2).
signal is generated by TRPS when a PCLS temperature input exceeds the high level oint. The PCLS temperature is measured on three different channels, one for each TRPS sion. Safety actuations based on high PCLS temperature are not bypassed when target NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-28                                          Rev. 3
 
must run to completion before initiating an IU Cell Safety Actuation. If, while the timer is ning, less than two-out-of-three high PCLS temperature signals are active, the timer is reset the TRPS continues operating under normal conditions. The timer is based on the eptability of a complete loss of cooling for up to three minutes prior to transferring target tion to the TSV dump tank.
4.1.6        Low PCLS Temperature low PCLS temperature signal protects against an overcooling of the target solution that ld cause an excess reactivity insertion (Subsection 13a2.1.2.2, Scenarios 2 and 3; and section 13a2.1.11.2, Scenario 2). The signal is generated by TRPS when a PCLS perature input exceeds the low level setpoint. The PCLS temperature is measured on three rent channels, one for each TRPS division. Safety actuations based on PCLS temperature not bypassed during filling and irradiation of the TSV (Mode 1 and Mode 2) and are bypassed ll other modes. When two-out-of-three or more PCLS temperature inputs drop below the wable limit, an IU Cell Safety Actuation is initiated.
4.1.7        Low PCLS Flow low PCLS flow signal protects against a loss of cooling that could cause target solution bulk ing (Subsection 13a2.1.3.2, Scenarios 1 and 2; Subsection 13a2.1.6.2, Scenario 2; and section 13a2.1.11.2, Scenario 1). The signal is generated by TRPS when a PCLS flow input eeds the low level setpoint. The PCLS flow is measured with an analog interface on three rent channels, one for each TRPS division. Safety actuation based on PCLS flow is not assed during filling and irradiation of the TSV (Mode 1 and Mode 2) and is bypassed in all er modes. When two-out-of-three or more PCLS flow inputs drop below the allowable limit, a r is started that must run to completion before initiating an IU Cell Safety Actuation. If, while timer is running, less than two-out-of-three low PCLS flow signals are active, the timer is et and the TRPS continues operating under normal conditions. The timer is based on the eptability of a complete loss of cooling for up to three minutes prior to transferring target tion to the TSV dump tank.
4.1.8        Low-High TSV Dump Tank Level low-high TSV dump tank level signal protects against a leak of liquid into the TSV dump
  , preventing the ability to transfer the entire batch of target solution from the TSV into the dump tank (Subsection 13a2.1.2.2, Scenario 5). The low-high TSV dump tank level signal results in a nitrogen purge of the IU for an anticipatory loss of TSV dump tank headspace r target solution has been transferred to the TSV dump tank (Subsection 13a2.1.9.2, nario 1). The low-high TSV dump tank level signal is received by the TRPS as a discrete t from level switches associated with three different channels, one for each TRPS division.
low-high TSV dump tank level switches are physically separate from the high-high level ches described in Subsection 7.4.4.1.9. Safety actuations based on the low-high TSV dump signal are bypassed during post irradiation when target solution is expected to be in the TSV p tank (Mode 3 and Mode 4). The low-high TSV dump tank signal is used as a permissive dition to transition operational modes from transferring of the target solution to the RPF de 4) to operating with no target solution in the IU (Mode 0).

4.1.9      High-High TSV Dump Tank Level high-high TSV dump tank level signal protects against an overfill of the TSV dump tank ater than the volume of target solution expected to be transferred from the TSV),
promising the ability of the TOGS to remove hydrogen from the TSV dump tank headspace bsection 13a2.1.9.2, Scenario 1). The high-high TSV dump tank level signal is received by TRPS as a discrete input from level switches on three different channels, one for each TRPS sion. The high-high TSV dump tank level switches are physically separate from the low-high l switches described in Subsection 7.4.4.1.8. When two-out-of-three or more high-high TSV p tank signals are active, an IU Cell Safety Actuation and an IU Cell Nitrogen Purge are ated.
4.1.10      Low TOGS Oxygen Concentration low TOGS oxygen concentration signal protects against a deflagration in the primary system ndary caused by the inability to recombine hydrogen with oxygen (Subsection 13a2.1.9.2, nario 1). The signal is generated by TRPS when a TOGS oxygen concentration input eeds the low level setpoint. The TOGS oxygen signal is measured with an analog interface hree different channels, one for each division of TRPS. When two-out-of-three or more TOGS gen concentration inputs drop below the allowable limit, an IU Cell Safety Actuation and an Cell Nitrogen Purge are initiated.
4.1.11      Low TOGS Mainstream Flow low TOGS mainstream flow signal protects against a deflagration in the primary system ndary caused by the inability to sweep accumulated hydrogen through the TOGS hydrogen ombiners (Subsection 13a2.1.9.2, Scenario 1; and Subsection 13a2.1.11.2, Scenario 1). The al is generated by TRPS when a TOGS mainstream flow input exceeds the low level oint. TOGS mainstream flow is measured independently for both TOGS Train A and TOGS n B. The TOGS mainstream flow is measured with an analog interface on three different nnels, one for each division of TRPS. Safety actuations based on the low TOGS mainstream are bypassed when no target solution is present in the IU. When two-out-of-three or more GS mainstream flow inputs drop below the allowable limit, an IU Cell Safety Actuation and an Cell Nitrogen Purge are initiated.
4.1.12      Low TOGS Dump Tank Flow low TOGS dump tank flow signal protects against a deflagration in the TSV dump tank sed by an inability to remove accumulated hydrogen from that tank (Subsection 13a2.1.9.2, nario 1; and Subsection 13a2.1.11.2, Scenario 1). The signal is generated by TRPS when a GS dump tank flow input exceeds the low level setpoint. TOGS dump tank flow is only asured for TOGS Train A, which is the only TOGS train that provides sweep gas flow to the dump tank. The TOGS dump tank flow is measured with an analog interface on three rent channels, one for each division of TRPS. Safety actuations based on the low TOGS p tank flow are bypassed when no target solution is present in the IU. When two-out-of-three ore TOGS dump tank flow inputs drop below the allowable limit, an IU Cell Safety Actuation an IU Cell Nitrogen Purge are initiated.

high TOGS condenser demister outlet temperature signal protects against adverse effects TOGS instrumentation and zeolite beds, causing them to fail to perform their safety functions bsection 13a2.1.9.2, Scenario 1). The signal is generated by TRPS when a TOGS condenser ister outlet temperature input exceeds the high level setpoint. TOGS condenser demister et temperature is measured independently for both TOGS Train A and TOGS Train B. The GS condenser demister outlet temperature signal is measured with a temperature interface hree different channels, one for each TRPS division. When two-out-of-three or more TOGS denser demister outlet temperature inputs exceed the allowable limit, an IU Cell Safety uation and an IU Cell Nitrogen Purge are initiated.
4.1.14      ESFAS Loss of External Power ESFAS loss of external power signal is an anticipatory protection against the impending loss OGS blowers and recombiners after the runtime of that equipment on the UPSS has been eeded (Subsection 13a2.1.9.2, Scenario 1). The signal is generated by ESFAS and provided ach of the eight TRPS subsystems when ESFAS senses a loss of external (i.e., normal) er being provided to the UPSS as described in Subsection 7.5.4.1.19. TRPS does not eive the loss of external power signal from ESFAS until three minutes after the external power
. The ESFAS loss of external power signal is measured with a discrete input signal on two rent channels, one for each Division A and Division B of TRPS. When an ESFAS loss of rnal power signal is active, the division receiving the discrete signal initiates an IU Cell ogen Purge.
4.1.15      High RVZ1e IU Cell Radiation high RVZ1e IU cell radiation signal protects against a breach in the primary system ndary (Subsection 13a2.1.4.2, Scenario 4; and Subsection 13a2.1.9.2, Scenario 2). The high Z1e IU cell radiation is measured on the exhaust of the PCLS expansion tank located in each ell. The signal is generated by TRPS when an RVZ1e IU cell radiation input exceeds the high l setpoint. The RVZ1e IU cell radiation is measured with an analog interface on three rent channels, one for each division of TRPS. When two-out-of-three or more RVZ1e IU cell ation channels exceed the allowable limit, an IU Cell Safety Actuation is initiated.
4.1.16      TSV Fill Isolation Valve Fully Closed SV fill isolation valve fully closed signal protects against the inadvertent addition of target tion to the TSV (Subsection 13a2.1.2.2, Scenario 6). The TSV fill isolation valve fully closed ition indication is received by the TRPS as a discrete input from redundant position indicating t switches on two different channels for each valve. When one-out-of-two or more TSV fill ation valve fully closed signals are no longer active for either of the TSV fill isolation valves, U Cell Safety Actuation is initiated. IU Cell Safety Actuation on TSV fill isolation valves fully ed is only active when the IU cell is undergoing irradiation (Mode 2).
4.1.17      ESFAS IU Cell TPS Actuation ESFAS IU Cell TPS Actuation protects against release of tritium events in the TPS bsection 13a2.1.6.2, Scenario 3; and Subsection 13a2.1.12.2, Scenario 1). The actuation al is generated by ESFAS and provided to only the affected TRPS subsystems when the NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-31                                        Rev. 3
 
different channels, one for each Division A and Division B of TRPS. When an ESFAS IU Cell Actuation is active, the division receiving the discrete signal initiates an IU Cell TPS uation.
4.1.18      Fill Stop nonsafety-related Fill Stop function aids in controlling the rate of fill of the TSV, as described ubsection 13a2.1.2.2, Scenario 6. If Fill Stop parameters are not met, then the Fill Stop nergizes the TSV fill isolation valves blocking the fill path into the TSV.
ing Mode 1, after NFDS source range neutron flux has reached or exceeded 40 percent of maximum 95 percent fill flux, if the TSV fill isolation valve fully closed position indication omes inactive, then a [              ]PROP/ECI timer is initiated. If the TSV fill isolation valve fully ed position indication is not active before the end of the [              ]PROP/ECI duration, then TRPS initiates a Fill Stop. If the TSV fill isolation valve fully closed position indication is active r to the end of the [          ]PROP/ECI duration, then the [              ]PROP/ECI timer resets.
ing Mode 1, after NFDS source range neutron flux has reached or exceeded 40 percent of maximum 95 percent fill flux, if the TSV fill isolation valve fully closed position indication omes active, a 5-minute timer is initiated. If the TSV fill isolation valve fully closed position cation becomes inactive prior to the duration of the 5-minute timer ending, then the TRPS ates a Fill Stop.
Fill Stop parameters ensure that target solution can only be added to the TSV for a ximum of [              ]PROP/ECI and that a 5-minute delay occurs between fill steps.
4.2          Operational Bypass, Permissiives, and Interlocks missive conditions, bypasses, and interlocks are created in each mode of operation specific hat mode to allow the operator to progress the TRPS to the next mode of operation. The PS implements logic associated with each mode of operation to prevent an operator from vating a bypass through changing the IU cell mode out of sequential order. Each mode of ration is achieved through manual input from the operator when permissive conditions for the t mode in the sequence have been met. See the TRPS mode state diagram in the TRPS logic rams (Figure 7.4-1) for the transitional sequence of the TRPS. Below are the required ditions that must be satisfied before a transition to the following mode in the sequence can be ated.
* The TRPS shall only transition from Mode 0 to Mode 1 if all TSV dump valve position indications and all TSV fill isolation valve indications indicate valves are fully closed and the TOGS mainstream flow is above the minimum flow rate.
* The TRPS shall only transition from Mode 1 to Mode 2 if the TSV fill isolation valve position indications indicate both valves are fully closed.
* The TRPS shall only transition from Mode 2 to Mode 3 if all HVPS breaker position indications indicate the breakers are open.
* The TRPS shall only transition from Mode 3 to Mode 4 if an IU Cell Safety Actuation is not present.

ach mode of operation, the TRPS bypasses different actuation channels when the actuation nnel is not needed for initiation of an IU Cell Safety Actuation, an IU Cell Nitrogen Purge, an Cell TPS Actuation, or Driver Dropout. The lists below identify each variable that is bypassed ng the different modes of operation.
ety actuations based on the following instrumentation channels are bypassed in Mode 0:
* Low power range neutron flux
* Low PCLS temperature
* High PCLS temperature
* Low PCLS flow
* Low TOGS mainstream flow (Train A) (Train B)
* Low TOGS dump tank flow
* High TOGS condenser demister outlet temperature (Train A) (Train B)
* ESFAS loss of external power ety actuations based on the following instrumentation channels are bypassed in Mode 1:
* Low power range neutron flux
* TSV fill isolation valve not fully closed
* Low PCLS flow
* High PCLS temperature ety actuations and interlocks based on the following instrumentation channels are bypassed ode 2:
* High source range neutron flux TRPS bypasses Driver Dropout on the low power range neutron flux signal until the power ge neutron flux is above the driver dropout permissive setpoint. The bypass is reapplied if e has been a change in mode of operation or if both HVPS breaker position indications cate in Mode 2 that they are open.
en the low power range neutron flux signal becomes active, a timer is started to create a
          ]PROP/ECI delay before a Driver Dropout is initiated. If fewer than two-out-of-three low er range neutron flux actuation signals are present before the timer has expired, then the low er range neutron flux timer resets.
PCLS flow and high PCLS temperature do not initiate an IU Cell Safety Actuation until after me delay of 180 seconds from the start of the low PCLS flow or high PCLS temperature al. If fewer than two-out-of-three low PCLS flow or high PCLS temperature signals are sent before the timer has expired, then the 180 second timer resets.

* TSV fill isolation valve fully closed TRPS includes the ability for the operator to transition the system from Mode 3 operation to cure state of operation. While in the secure state, an interlock is maintained preventing the PS from transitioning to the next sequential mode. The control key, via use of a facility master rating permissive, is used to place the TRPS into and out of the secure state.
ety actuations and interlocks based on the following instrumentation channels are bypassed ode 4:
* High source range neutron flux
* Low power range neutron flux
* High PCLS temperature
* Low PCLS temperature
* Low PCLS flow
* Low-high TSV dump tank level signal
* TSV fill isolation valve fully closed en a mode of operation changes, the bypasses from the previous mode are automatically oved as they are no longer appropriate. The status of each bypass is provided to the operator ugh the monitoring and indication bus to the PICS, including any channel placed in ntenance bypass (Subsection 7.4.4.3), which allows the operator to confirm that a function been bypassed or returned to service.
4.3        Maintenance Bypass h SFM can be placed in maintenance bypass or in a trip state by use of the OOS switch ted on the front of the SFM and an associated trip/bypass switch located below the SFM.
ails of the physical configuration and operation of the OOS and trip/bypass switches are vided in Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 of Topical Report TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017). Any PS channels placed in maintenance bypass for maintenance or testing, or removed from ntenance bypass, will be displayed to the operators in the facility control room through the nitoring and indication bus to the PICS.
ndividual SFM within a TRPS division is allowed to be placed in maintenance bypass for up wo hours while the associated input channel(s) is required to be operable, in accordance with technical specifications, for the purpose of performing required technical specification veillance testing. A time limit of two hours is acceptable based on the small amount of time the nnel could be in bypass, the continual attendance by operations or maintenance personnel ng the test, the continued operability of the redundant channel(s), and the low likelihood that accident would occur during the two hour time period.

preserves the single failure criterion for variables associated with that SFM where three nnels are provided. In cases where only two channels are provided, placing a channel in trip ves to actuate the associated safety function. Inoperable channels are required to be placed ip, or other actions are required to be taken to mitigate the condition, in accordance with the nical specifications.
4.4          Testing Capability ting of the TRPS consists of the inservice self-testing capabilities of the HIPS platform and odic surveillance testing.
-to-end testing of the entire HIPS platform is performed through overlap testing. Individual
-tests in the various components of the TRPS ensure that the entire component is functioning ectly. Self-test features are provided for components that do not have setpoints or tunable ameters. All TRPS components, except the discrete APL of the EIM, have self-testing abilities that ensure the information passed on to the following step in the signal path is ect.
discrete logic of the APL of the EIM does not have self-test capability but is instead tionally tested. This functional testing consists of periodic simulated automatic and manual ations to verify the functionality of the APL and the manual actuation pushbuttons.
ting of input devices consists of channel checks, channel tests, and channel calibrations.
nnel checks are performed while the channel is in service. Channel tests and channel brations may be performed while the IU is in a mode where the channel is required to be rable (i.e., inservice) by placing the associated SFM in maintenance bypass bsection 7.4.4.3). Channel tests and channel calibrations may also be performed when the nnel is not required to be operable.
4.5          Technical Specifications and Surveillance iting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requirements are established for TRPS logic, ng, and actuation divisions and instrumentation monitored by TRPS as input to safety ations.
5        HIGHLY INTEGRATED PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGN 5.1          HIPS Design Summary IPS platform is used to achieve the desired architecture for system control. The HIPS form is a generic digital safety-related instrumentation and control platform devoted to the lementation of safety-related applications in nuclear facilities. The platform is a logic-based form that does not utilize software or microprocessors for operation. It is composed of logic is implemented using discrete components and FPGA technology. The platform is described etail in Section 2.0 of Topical Report TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017). The HIPS platform is zed for the design of the TRPS and ESFAS (Section 7.5).
TRPS HIPS design is shown in Figure 7.1-2.
NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-35                                      Rev. 3
 
5.2.1        Independence HIPS design incorporates the independence principles outlined in Section 4.0 of Topical ort TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017).
built-in self-test (BIST) feature in the FPGA logic is separate and independent of the FPGA ty function logic; thus, the programming of the FPGA safety function logic is not made more plex by the inclusion of the diagnostic and self-test FPGA logic.
TRPS and ESFAS structures, systems, and components that comprise a division are sically separated to retain the capability of performing the required safety functions during a ign basis accident. Division independence is maintained throughout both systems, extending the sensor to the devices actuating the protective function. Physical separation is used to ieve separation of redundant sensors. Wiring for redundant divisions uses physical aration and isolation to provide independence for circuits. Separation of wiring is achieved g separate wireways and cable trays for each of Division A, Division B, and Division C.
sion A and C are located on the opposite side of the facility control room from where sion B is located.
communications independence, the TRPS platform is designed such that each safety sion functions independently of other safety divisions. With the exception of interdivisional ng, communication within a division does not rely on communication outside the respective sion to perform the safety function. Safety-related inputs to the TRPS which originate within a cific division of the TRPS are input to, and processed in, only the same division prior to being vided to any other division of the system for voting purposes.
vidual TRPS units are supplied for each of the eight irradiation units.
5.2.2        Redundancy HIPS design incorporates the redundancy principles outlined in Section 5 of Topical ort TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017). The use of the redundancy design principles meets ions of the criteria for redundancy in SHINE Design Criterion 15.
SFM is designed with three redundant signal paths and begins the communication paths for o-out-of-three comparison. This internal redundancy provides for easy fault detection, giving er reliability from spurious actuation without increasing the complexity of the design.
undancy within the safety I&C system platform architecture is achieved by employing two or e divisions of sensors, detectors, and trip determination, and two divisions of trip and ation circuitry. Three divisions of sensors, detectors, and trip determination are selected for tions where spurious actuation may significantly impact overall main production facility ration or for operational convenience; two divisions are used for other functions. Using tiple divisions of sensors and detectors and trip and actuation determination is one of the chanisms employed to satisfy single-failure criteria and improve system availability.
ncidence voting on functions with three divisions of trip determination is implemented so that ngle failure of an input process signal will not prevent a trip or actuation from occurring when NE Medical Technologies                    7.4-36                                        Rev. 3
 
required.
ure 7.1-2 shows typical signal data flow paths in the HIPS platform.
5.2.3        Predictability and Repeatability HIPS design incorporates the predictability and repeatability principles outlined in Section 7 opical Report TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017). The use of the predictability and repeatability ign principles meets portions of the criteria for ensuring an extremely high probability of omplishing safety functions as required by SHINE Design Criterion 19.
information in this section satisfies Application-Specific Action Items (ASAI) numbers 19, 56, 59 from Topical Report TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017).
h SBVM of the two actuation divisions receives inputs from the trip determination portions of SFMs through isolated receive-only serial data paths. The trip determinations are combined e voting logic so that two or more trip inputs from the trip determination modules produce an ation output demand signal, which is sent to dedicated APL circuits to actuate the ropriate equipment associated with that division. Manual trip and actuation capability also vides a direct trip or actuation of equipment, as well as input to the automatic portion of the tem, to ensure the sequence is maintained.
meet a response time performance requirement of 500 milliseconds, a HIPS platform-based tem must acquire the input signal that represents the start of a response time performance uirement, perform logic processing associated with the response time performance uirement, and generate an output signal that represents the end of a response time ormance requirement. These HIPS platform response time components exclude: (1) the ier plant process delays through the sensor input to the platform, and (2) the latter delays ugh a final actuating device to affect the plant process (Figure 7.4-2). The required response s credited in the safety analysis for systems using the HIPS design (TRPS, ESFAS) cover process delays through the sensor input to the platform and the delays through the final ating device.
5.2.4        Diversity APL portions within an EIM support the implementation of different actuation methods.
ing the capability for hardwired signals into each EIM supports the capability for additional diverse actuation means from automated actuation. As an example, a division of APL circuits y receive inputs automatically from the programmable logic portion of the TRPS, inputs from nual controls in the facility control room, and input signals from a nonsafety control system.
h the manual controls and nonsafety control system inputs come individually into the APL and downstream of the programmable logic portion of the TRPS architecture as shown in ure 7.1-2.

rder to ensure performance in the presence of a digital CCF, the different divisions of the tem (TRPS, ESFAS) use different FPGA architectures (static random access memory, flash, ne-time programmable).
play of information is available to the operator(s) at various locations in the facility control
: m. Information from the safety-related control systems is processed through the system PS or ESFAS) and is transmitted to PICS for display on the static display screens of the main trol board or at the operator workstation. Other information at the operator workstations or the n control board is aggregated from instruments throughout the facility and displayed to the rator. Section 7.6 provides further detail on the SHINE display systems.
5.2.5        Simplicity plicity attributes have been considered and incorporated into the design of the I&C system hitecture. The I&C system architecture is consistent with proven safety system designs used nuclear production facilities.
HIPS technology utilized is based on only four core modules. The use of FPGA technology ws for modules to perform a broader range of unique functions yet utilize the same core ponents. Increased flexibility with core components provides simplified maintainability. The ntity of spare parts can be reduced to blank modules that are programmed and configured as ded.
ctions within the FPGA of each module are implemented with finite state machines in order to ieve deterministic behavior. The HIPS platform does not rely on complex system/platform trollers. Dedicating SFMs to a function or group of functions based on its input provides rent function segmentation creating simpler and separate SFMs that can be more easily ed. This segmentation also helps limit module failures to a subset of safety functions.
physical layer of a communication module (CM) used for intradivisional communication is a tidrop topology; however, the flexibility afforded by FPGAs allows implementation of a simple al point-to-point communication protocol. Autonomous modules allow for simpler component ing, implementation, and integration.
of fundamentally different FPGA architectures provides a simple and verifiable approach to ipment and design diversity. By simply implementing safety functions on an SFM based on its ts, safety functions have been segmented to provide functional diversity. The discrete and grammable logic circuits on an EIM provide a clear distinction between those portions that are are not vulnerable to a software CCF. These diversity attributes simplify the system design ot having to install a separate diverse actuation system to address software CCF concerns.
lementation of triple redundant communication within a division of a HIPS platform increases number of components (e.g., additional CMs) but provides simpler maintenance and NE Medical Technologies                    7.4-38                                          Rev. 3

ctions within the FPGA of each module are implemented with finite state machines in order to ieve deterministic behavior. Deterministic behavior allows implementation of a simple munication protocol using a predefined message structure with fixed time intervals. This ple periodic communication scheme is used throughout the architecture. Communication ween SFMs and CMs is implemented through a simple and well-established RS-485 physical

5.3        Access Control and Cyber Security secure development operating environment, cyber security requirements, and access trol are discussed in this section.
5.3.1      Secure Development Operating Environment developmental process for creating safety-related applications (TRPS and ESFAS) has n delegated to SHINE's safety-related control system vendor. The process addresses the ential cyber security vulnerabilities (physical and electronic) in the developmental phases of software and the controls to prevent unauthorized physical and electronic access. The ure development controls are applied from developing the requirements of the software, igning the software, integrating the hardware and software, and testing the system. The elopment controls include physical access controls at the development facility, personnel ess controls that limit access to the system design information to authorized individuals, and use of an IDN.
HIPS platform contains design features that reduce the susceptibility to inadvertent access oth hardware and software and undesirable behavior from connected systems. These form features support the establishment and use of a secure operational environment and ective measures to maintain it.
cific requirements are defined to provide and maintain a secure operational environment ng the defined modes of operation. A requirements traceability matrix is used throughout the elopment process. Bi-directional traceability is independently verified to ensure that uirements are implemented (forward tracing) and that no unwanted or unnecessary code has n introduced (backward tracing).
5.3.2      Cyber Security Design Features efensive system architecture is utilized as shown in Figure 7.1-1.
defensive system architecture has the following characteristics:
* Communication outside of the system while in service is through one-way isolated communication ports over point-to point cables.
NE Medical Technologies                    7.4-39                                      Rev. 3
* Communication from a maintenance workstation (MWS) to a HIPS chassis is only allowed when the affected module is placed out of service by activating the OOS switch using a temporary cable that is attached from the MWS to a HIPS chassis.
* No capability for remote access to the safety system is included with the HIPS platform design.
5.3.3        Access Control itional access control features include:
* Required use of a physical key at the main control board to prevent unauthorized use.
* Rack mounted equipment is installed within cabinets that can be locked so access can be administratively controlled.
* FPGAs on any of the HIPS modules cannot be modified (for static random-access memory type) or replaced (for one-time programmable or flash types) while installed in the HIPS chassis.
* Capability to modify modules installed in the HIPS chassis is limited to setpoints and tunable parameters that may require periodic modification.
h division has a nonsafety-related MWS for the purpose of online monitoring and offline ntenance and calibration. The HIPS platform MWS supports online monitoring through
-way isolated communication ports. The MWS is used to update setpoints and tunable ameters in the HIPS chassis when the safety function is out of service. Physical and logical trols are put in place to prevent modifications to a safety channel when it is being relied upon erform a safety function. A temporary cable and OOS switch are required to be activated ore any changes can be made to an SFM. When the safety function is removed from service, er in bypass or trip, an indication is provided by the HIPS platform that can be used to drive alarm in the facility control room to inform the operator. Adjustments to parameters are ormed in accordance with technical specifications, including any that establish the minimum ber of redundant safety channels that must remain operable for the applicable operating de and conditions.

The programmable logic figuration management process is described in this subsection.
figuration identification is the first activity of configuration management. Configuration tification identifies items to be controlled, establishes identification schemes for the items their versions, and establishes the tools and methods to be used in acquiring and managing trolled items. Configuration identification provides a starting point for other configuration nagement activities. Configuration identification provides the ability to:
* Identify the components of the system throughout the development process, and
* Trace between the programmable logic and its development process data.
h configuration item is uniquely identified. The identification method includes a naming vention with version numbers or letters. The configuration identification facilitates storage, eval, tracking, reproduction, and distribution of configuration items. The following figuration items are identified and are placed under configuration management:
* Design input documents
* Design output documents
* SyRS
* System design specifications
* System hardware design specifications
* System hardware components
* Programmable logic requirements documents
* Programmable logic requirements models
* Programmable logic design models
* Programmable logic hardware description language code
* V&V data and documents

integrated development environment (IDE) tool is used to store and manage configuration
: s. Configuration items such as data, requirements, models, code files, reports, and tests are ed and placed under source control in the IDE tool. The IDE tool is used to perform the wing configuration management activities:
* Review changes in modified files
* Run impact analysis
* Run project integrity checks
* Commit modified files into source control
* Discard modifications made to committed files
* Retrieve configuration items from source control
* Revert to a previous version of a file
* View and report configuration item source control information figuration baselines are established at various points in the project. A baseline is the grammable logic and its data at a point in time. The baseline serves as a basis for further elopment. Once a baseline is established, changes can only be made through the change trol process described in the Configuration Management Plan.
elines are established after each development phase, at the completion of the formal review he V&V team. The following baselines are established:
* Requirements Baseline
* Design Baseline
* Implementation Baseline
* Test Baseline elining is performed by committing phase configuration items into source control and listing configuration item in the master configuration list, as specified in the vendor system design trol procedure. The project file contains and manages programmable logic configuration s in one project folder structure allowing committing of all project phase configuration items g one project file in the IDE tool.

IDE tool records each change to baselined configuration items, including who made the nge, and can discard changes that have been implemented or revert to any previous baseline r the changed configuration item has been baselined.
archival and retrieval process involves the storage of data so that it can be accessed by horized personnel. Project documents and records are retained and filed in the system gration document package and are stored in dual remote storage locations to preclude loss sed by natural disasters. The archival and retrieval process ensures:
* Accuracy and completeness
* Protection from unauthorized change
* Quality of storage media and protection from disaster
* Accuracy of retrieval and duplication grammable logic code load controls include approved load procedures, load verification, and marking verification.

figuration reviews are required for configuration items prior to shipment. The configuration its include both document configuration items and programmable logic components.
figuration status accounting involves recording and reporting information that is needed to ctively manage the programmable logic configuration items development, verification, and dation processes. Reports are generated to inform managers, developers, and SHINE about project status. Configuration status accounting reports provide consistent, reliable, and timely us information that enhances communication, avoids duplication, and prevents repeat takes. The configuration status accounting reports provide the following information:
* Status of data items including configuration identification
* Status of change requests and test anomaly reports
* Status of released data and files
* List of baselined contents and differences from previous baseline NE Medical Technologies                    7.4-50                                      Rev. 3
 
master configuration list identifies hardware part numbers and the programmable logic code ociated with the hardware. Before loading the code onto the hardware, the identification of the grammable logic code and the hardware is performed to ensure compatibility.
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) vendor supplied documents or software are edited by the ty-related control system vendor project team. The document versions and software versions recorded upon receipt in the master configuration list and should not change. Therefore, her configuration change procedures nor baselining apply to COTS documents or software.
urchase order issued by the safety-related control system vendor to a third-party vendor for a TS program or technical calculations typically contains:
* a description of the major components of the software design, as they relate to the software requirements,
* a technical description of the software with respect to the theoretical basis, mathematical model, control flow, data flow, control logic, and data structure,
* a description of the allowable or prescribed ranges for inputs and outputs, and
* the design described in a manner that can be translated into code.
purchase order requires the vendor to provide a software design description and evidence of V.
third-party vendor software and documentation are verified for sufficiency such that a person is technically qualified in the subject is able to understand the third-party vendor deliverables verify the adequacy of the results without recourse to the originator.
5.4.6.2          Post-Installation Phase Configuration Management figuration management of any post-installation changes or modifications required to the ty-related control systems has been delegated to the vendor. Processes equivalent to those d for initial development, described in Subsection 7.4.5.4.6.1, are followed. SHINE maintains rsight of the vendor, authorization of changes, control of the scope of changes, and luation of the change against the requirements of the SHINE facility license.
5.4.6.3          Configuration Management Compliance sions of software/firmware and documentation of specified hardware components are naged by the configuration management process to ensure the correct version of ware/firmware is installed in the correct hardware components.

It also verifies that the test configuration is ect and the required test equipment is properly calibrated.
FAT integration test cases and procedures perform the following:
* Test programmable logic interfaces and basic programmable logic operations, and
* Test interface characteristics defined in the requirements specifications and design description such as protocols, sequences, and timing.
NE Medical Technologies                      7.4-52                                        Rev. 3
* Test system functions as defined in the SyRS
* Test voting functions
* Test trip or protective outputs
* Test system operation in all modes as defined in the SyRS mal and robustness test cases are prepared in the test procedures to demonstrate that ign outputs conform to requirements.
acceptance criteria for each testable requirement are specified in the applicable test case.
acceptance criteria are specified by either qualitative (pass/fail) or quantitative (numerical) eptance criteria. When an acceptance criterion is numerical, the minimum and maximum es are specified.
testable attribute that does not meet the stated acceptance criteria is documented on a Test maly Report. This includes both programmable logic anomalies and hardware deficiencies.
Test Anomaly Report identifies the resolution of the stated problem and describes any sting requirements.
results of the FAT are summarized in the FAT summary report and are incorporated into a arate test phase summary report, which is generated at the end of the test phase. The FAT mary report also incorporates other reports including test anomaly reports (used to ument deficiencies found during testing) and change requests as attachments.
FAT summary report documents the review of the test results with the following criteria:
: 1. Complete: Test cases and steps have been executed.
: 2. Acceptable: Results are within the expected results.
: 3. Anomalies resolved: Test anomaly reports have been resolved.
: 4. Changes implemented and tested: Change requests submitted during testing have been performed in accordance with the Configuration Management Plan and are implemented and tested.
re is no process risk associated with either the system test plan or implementation of the ted FAT. The FAT is conducted using simulated inputs, using either measurement and test ipment generated signals or computer-based test systems. The outputs are not connected to plant process equipment, but are connected to displays, measurement and test equipment, omputer-based indication and data collection equipment. No equipment is operated outside esign parameters; therefore, there is no expectation of equipment failure. The only risks ociated with the system test plan are schedule compliance and satisfaction of test eptance criteria.
5.4.8        Project Risk Management vendor Project Management Plan describes the risk management activities for the project.
risk management approach consists of five activities:
: 1. Risk identification
: 2. Risk analysis NE Medical Technologies                    7.4-53                                        Rev. 3
: 5. Risk tracking and control k identification activities occur throughout the project lifecycle. Identified risks are umented in a safety-related control system vendor project risk register, which includes a cription of the risk, areas of concern, likelihood, mitigating actions, and possible sequences. The project risk register may also describe the impacts to stakeholders, umptions, constraints, relationship to other project risks, possible alternatives, as well as acts to the project budget, schedule, or deliverables.
h identified risk is analyzed to determine the type and the extent of the impacts should the situation or event occur. The analysis considers several relevant factors and includes any umptions made, constraints, and sensitivity of the risk item.
k mitigation planning involves developing plans for mitigation and/or contingency actions for a cific risk. The risk mitigation plans address topics such as:
* Identification of mitigation and contingency actions for funding, schedule, staff, or resources
* Identification of actions to be taken to reduce the likelihood or consequences of impact on the project
* Determination of the planned response based on a cost/benefit analysis
* Assignment of responsibility for each mitigation and contingency action k tracking, monitoring, and control assess how the project risk profile is changing throughout project lifecycle, as well the effectiveness of any mitigation/contingency plans that have been cuted. When changes to the risk occur, the process to identify, analyze, and plan is repeated.
sting risk mitigation plans are modified to change the approach if the desired effect is not g achieved.

1        SYSTEM DESCRIPTION engineered safety features actuation system (ESFAS) is a single, safety-related rumentation and control (I&C) system that provides monitoring and actuation functions ughout the SHINE main production facility.
ESFAS performs various detection, logic processing, control, and actuation functions dited by the SHINE safety analysis described in Chapter 13 as required to prevent the urrence or mitigate the consequences of design basis events within the main production lity. The ESFAS provides sense, command, and execute functions necessary to maintain the lity confinement strategy and provides process actuation functions required to shut down cesses and maintain processes in a safe condition. The ESFAS also provides nonsafety-ted system status and measured process variable values to the facility process integrated trol system (PICS) for viewing, recording, and trending.
ESFAS monitors variables important to the safety functions for confinement of radiation and m within the irradiation facility (IF) and the radioisotope production facility (RPF) and for cality safety to perform the following functions:
* Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) Isolation
* Supercell Isolation
* Carbon Delay Bed Isolation
* Vacuum Transfer System (VTS) Safety Actuation
* Tritium Purification System (TPS) Train Isolation
* TPS Process Vent Actuation
* Irradiation Unit (IU) Cell Nitrogen Purge
* RPF Nitrogen Purge
* Molybdenum Extraction and Purification System (MEPS) Heating Loop Isolation
* Extraction Column Alignment Actuation
* Iodine and Xenon Purification and Packaging (IXP) Alignment Actuation
* Dissolution Tank Isolation ESFAS monitors the IF and the RPF continually throughout the operation of processes in the main production facility, via the use of radiation monitoring and other instrumentation.
rlocks and bypass logic necessary for operation are implemented within the ESFAS. If at any t a monitored variable exceeds its predetermined limits, the ESFAS automatically initiates associated safety function. ESFAS logic diagrams are provided in Figure 7.5-1 and the eral architecture of the ESFAS is provided in Figure 7.1-3.
ESFAS is built using the highly integrated protection system (HIPS) platform as described in section 7.4.5. ESFAS equipment is separated into three divisions (A, B, and C). The ESFAS undantly receives safety-related inputs from field instrumentation (input devices) to either two sions (A and B) or all three divisions, dependent on the input variable. The input signals are vided to the ESFAS safety function modules (SFMs). More than one input device provides a al to each SFM. The inputs are allocated to the different SFMs within a division as described e technical specifications. Each SFM can be placed in maintenance bypass or in a trip state se of the out-of-service (OOS) switch located on the front of the SFM and an associated bypass switch located below the SFM, as described in Subsection 7.5.4.4. Placing an SFM in NE Medical Technologies                        7.5-1                                        Rev. 4
 
ESFAS bypass logic is implemented in all three divisions using scheduling, bypass, and ng modules (SBVMs) for divisions A and B, or scheduling and bypass modules (SBMs) for sion C. The ESFAS voting and actuation logic is implemented in only divisions A and B. For sions A and B, the three SBVMs, in each division, generate actuation signals when the SFMs ny two of three (or one of two) divisions determine that an actuation is required. Both ESFAS sions A and B evaluate the input signals from the SFMs in each of three redundant SBVMs.
h SBVM compares the inputs received from the SFMs and generates an appropriate ation signal if required by two or more of the three (or one or more of the two) divisions.
output of the three redundant SBVMs in divisions A and B is communicated via three pendent safety data buses to the associated equipment interface modules (EIMs). There are independent EIMs for each actuation component, associated with each division A and B of FAS. The EIMs compare inputs from the three SBVMs and initiate an actuation if two out of e signals agree on the need to actuate. Both EIMs associated with a component are required e deenergized for the actuation component(s) to fail to their actuated (deenergized) states, the exception of the process vessel vent system (PVVS) carbon delay bed three-way and et isolation valves (Subsections 7.5.3.1.14, 7.5.3.1.15, and 7.5.3.1.16). These valves are rgized to actuate.
2      DESIGN CRITERIA SHINE facility design criteria applicable to the ESFAS are stated in Table 3.1-1. The facility ign criteria applicable to the ESFAS, and the ESFAS system design criteria, are addressed in section.
ESFAS utilizes a HIPS design. The HIPS design is applicable to both the target solution sel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS) and the ESFAS. The HIPS design is described ubsection 7.4.5.
2.1        SHINE Facility Design Criteria NE facility Design Criteria 13 through 19 and 37 through 39 apply to the ESFAS.
2.1.1      Instrumentation and Controls SHINE Design Criterion 13 - Instrumentation is provided to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges for normal operation, for anticipated transients, and for postulated accidents as appropriate to ensure adequate safety, including those variables and systems that can affect the fission process, the integrity of the primary system boundary, the primary confinement and its associated systems, and the process confinement boundary and its associated systems. Appropriate controls are provided to maintain these variables and systems within prescribed operating ranges.
ESFAS monitored variables for performance of design basis functions are presented in le 7.5-1 and include the instrument range for covering normal and accident conditions, the uracy for each variable, and the analytical limit. Operation of the ESFAS in response to the lyzed events is presented in Subsection 7.5.4.1.
NE Medical Technologies                      7.5-2                                        Rev. 4
 
SHINE Design Criterion 14 - The protection systems are designed to: (1) initiate, automatically, the operation of appropriate systems to ensure that specified acceptable target solution design limits are not exceeded as a result of anticipated transients; and (2) sense accident conditions and to initiate the operation of safety-related systems and components.
ration of the ESFAS in response to the analyzed events is presented in Subsection 7.5.4.1.
section describes the automatic system response to actuation setpoints in monitored ables.
2.1.3        Protection System Reliability and Testability SHINE Design Criterion 15 - The protection systems are designed for high functional reliability and inservice testability commensurate with the safety functions to be performed.
Redundancy and independence designed into the protection systems are sufficient to ensure that: (1) no single failure results in loss of the protection function, and (2) removal from service of any component or channel does not result in loss of the required minimum redundancy unless the acceptable reliability of operation of the protection system can be otherwise demonstrated. The protection systems are designed to permit periodic testing, including a capability to test channels independently to determine failures and losses of redundancy that may have occurred.
h functional reliability is addressed in SHINE Design Criterion 19 (Subsection 7.5.2.1.7). The S design incorporates predictability and repeatability principles to ensure an extremely high bability of accomplishing safety functions (Subsection 7.4.5.2.3).
ESFAS contains capabilities for inservice testing for those functions that cannot be tested e the associated equipment is out of service (Subsection 7.5.4.5).
ESFAS design utilizes functional independence; structures, systems, and components that prise a division are physically separated to retain the capability of performing the required ty functions during a design basis accident (Subsection 7.4.5.2.1).
ESFAS consists of two or three divisions of input processing and trip determination pendent on the monitored variable) and two divisions of actuation logic arranged such that no le failure can prevent a safety actuation when required (Subsection 7.5.3.3). A single failure lysis of the ESFAS was performed in accordance with IEEE Standard 379-2000 (IEEE-2000).
maintenance bypass function allows an individual safety function module to be removed service for required testing (Subsection 7.5.4.4). Self-test features are provided for ponents that do not have setpoints or tunable parameters. The discrete logic of the actuation priority logic (APL) of the EIM does not have self-test capability but is instead functionally ed (Subsection 7.5.4.5). Calibration, testing, and diagnostics is addressed in Section 8.0 of ical Report TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017).
2.1.4        Protection System Independence SHINE Design Criterion 16 - The protection systems are designed to ensure that the effects of natural phenomena, and of normal operating, maintenance, testing, and postulated NE Medical Technologies                        7.5-3                                        Rev. 4
 
functional diversity or diversity in component design and principles of operation, are used to the extent practical to prevent loss of the protection function.
ESFAS control and logic functions operate inside of the facility control room where the ironment is mild, not exposed to the irradiation process, and is protected from earthquakes, adoes, and floods (Subsections 7.5.3.4 and 7.5.3.5). The ESFAS structures, systems, and ponents that comprise a division are physically separated to retain the capability of orming the required safety functions during a design basis accident. Division independence aintained throughout, extending from the sensor to the devices actuating the protective tion (Subsection 7.4.5.2.1). The architecture provides two diverse methods for an actuation he safety functions at the division level, automatic and manual, and field programmable gate ys (FPGAs) in each division are of a different physical architecture to prevent common cause re (Subsections 7.4.5.2.4 and 7.5.3.6).
2.1.5        Protection System Failure Modes SHINE Design Criterion 17 - The protection systems are designed to fail into a safe state if conditions such as disconnection of the system, loss of energy (e.g., electric power, instrument air), or postulated adverse environments are experienced.
trolled components associated with safety actuations are designed to go to their safe state n deenergized (Table 7.5-2). The ESFAS equipment is qualified for radiological and ironmental hazards present during normal operation and postulated accidents bsection 7.5.3.4).
2.1.6      Separation of Protection and Control Systems SHINE Design Criterion 18 - The protection system is separated from control systems to the extent that failure of any single control system component or channel, or failure or removal from service of any single protection system component or channel that is common to the control and protection systems, leaves intact a system satisfying all reliability, redundancy, and independence requirements of the protection system. Interconnection of the protection and control systems is limited to assure that safety is not significantly impaired.
safety-related inputs to the ESFAS from the PICS are designed and controlled so they do not vent the ESFAS from performing its safety functions (Subsection 7.5.3.2).
2.1.7      Protection Against Anticipated Transients SHINE Design Criterion 19 - The protection systems are designed to ensure an extremely high probability of accomplishing their safety functions in the event of anticipated transients.
ESFAS design utilizes functional independence; structures, systems, and components that prise a division are physically separated to retain the capability of performing the required ty functions during a design basis accident (Subsection 7.4.5.2.1). The ESFAS includes undancy such that no single failure can prevent a safety actuation when required bsection 7.5.3.3). The architecture provides two diverse methods for an actuation of the ty functions at the division level, automatic and manual, and FPGAs in each division are of a NE Medical Technologies                      7.5-4                                        Rev. 4
 
2.1.8        Criticality Control in the Radioisotope Production Facility SHINE Design Criterion 37 - Criticality in the radioisotope production facility is prevented by physical systems or processes and the use of administrative controls. Use of geometrically safe configurations is preferred. Control of criticality adheres to the double contingency principle. A criticality accident alarm system to detect and alert facility personnel of an inadvertent criticality is provided.
ESFAS provides two safety functions as required by the SHINE criticality safety program cribed in Section 6b.3. The VTS Safety Actuation safety function stops the transfer of target tion or other radioactive solutions upon indication of potential upset conditions bsection 7.5.3.1.17). Actuation on a VTS vacuum header liquid detection switch signal ects against an overflow of the vacuum lift tanks and potential criticality event bsection 7.5.4.1.8). The Dissolution Tank Isolation safety function protects against a criticality nt due to excess fissile material in a non-favorable geometry system (Subsection 7.5.4.1.18) prevents overflow of the dissolution tank into the uranium handling glovebox or ventilation tem.
2.1.9        Monitoring Radioactivity Releases SHINE Design Criterion 38 - Means are provided for monitoring the primary confinement boundary, hot cell, and glovebox atmospheres to detect potential leakage of gaseous or other airborne radioactive material. Potential effluent discharge paths and the plant environs are monitored for radioactivity that may be released from normal operations, including anticipated transients, and from postulated accidents.
ESFAS monitors for potential radioactivity releases from various areas of the SHINE main duction facility. The ESFAS monitors radiation in the radiological ventilation zone 1 (RVZ1) or ological ventilation zone 2 (RVZ2) facility exhaust (Subsection 7.5.3.1.24), radiation from the et of each cell of the supercell (Subsections 7.5.3.1.1 through 7.5.3.1.10), and tritium from tritium purification system glovebox (SSubsections 7.5.3.1.18, 7.5.3.1.19, and 7.5.3.1.20).
itional radioactivity release monitoring is provided by the TRPS (Section 7.4) and by safety-related radiation monitoring systems (Section 7.7).
2.1.10      Hydrogen Mitigation SHINE Design Criterion 39 - Systems to control the buildup of hydrogen that is released into the primary system boundary and tanks or other volumes that contain fission products and produce significant quantities of hydrogen are provided to ensure that the integrity of the system and confinement boundaries is maintained.
ESFAS monitors variables and provides actuations to prevent and mitigate hydrogen agration in various areas in the SHINE main production facility. The TRPS IU cell nitrogen ge signal protects against a loss of hydrogen mitigation capabilities in the IUs bsection 7.5.4.1.14). The low PVVS flow signal protects against a loss of hydrogen mitigation abilities in the RPF (Subsection 7.5.4.1.15).

2.2        ESFAS System Design Criteria 2.2.1      Access Control ESFAS Criterion 1 - The ESFAS shall require a key or combination authentication input at the control console to prevent unauthorized use of the ESFAS.
ESFAS utilizes a HIPS design which is described in Subsection 7.4.5. Unauthorized use of ESFAS is prevented by required use of a physical key as described in the HIPS design bsection 7.4.5.3.3).
ESFAS Criterion 2 - Developmental phases for ESFAS software shall address the potential cyber security vulnerabilities (physical and electronic) to prevent unauthorized physical and electronic access.
ESFAS development design uses a defensive system architecture described in section 7.4.5.3.2 that prevents unauthorized physical and electronic access.
ESFAS Criterion 3 - The ESFAS design shall incorporate design or administrative controls to prevent/limit unauthorized physical and electronic access to critical digital assets (CDAs) during the operational phase, including the transition from development to operations. CDAs are defined as digital systems and devices that are used to perform or support, among other things, physical security and access control, safety-related functions, and reactivity control.
ess control features prevent unauthorized physical and electronic access to CDAs during the rational phase and during transition from development to operations.

ure 7.5-1 shows how the ESFAS latches in a protective action and maintains the state of a ective action until operator input is initiated to reset the output of the ESFAS to normal rating conditions.
output of the ESFAS is designed so that actuation through automatic or manual means of a ty function can only change when a new position is requested. If there is no signal present the automatic safety actuation or manual actuation, then the output of the EIM remains in its ent state. A safety-related enable nonsafety switch allows an operator, after the switch has n brought to enable, to control the output state of the ESFAS with a hardwired binary control al from the nonsafety-related controls. The enable nonsafety switch is classified as part of safety system and is used to prevent spurious nonsafety-related control signals from ersely affecting safety-related components. If the enable nonsafety switch is active, and no omatic safety actuation or manual actuation signals are present, the operator is capable of rgizing or deenergizing any EIM outputs using the nonsafety-related hardwired control als. If the enable nonsafety switch is not active, the nonsafety-related hardwired control als are ignored.
3.3          Single Failure ESFAS consists of three divisions of input processing and trip determination and two sions of actuation logic (see Figure 7.1-2) arranged so that no single failure within the ESFAS ults in the loss of the protective function.
safety-related inputs into the ESFAS are designed and controlled so they do not prevent the FAS from performing its safety functions. The only nonsafety inputs into the ESFAS are those the PICS for controls and monitoring/indication only variables. The nonsafety control signals the PICS are implemented through a hardwired parallel interface that requires the PICS to d a binary address associated to the output state of the EIM along with a mirrored plement address. The mirrored complement address prevents any single incorrectly sented bit from addressing the wrong EIM output state. To prevent the PICS from vertently presenting a valid address, the ESFAS contains a safety-related enable nonsafety ch that controls when the hardwired parallel interface within the APL is active, thus controlling n the PICS inputs are allowed to pass through the input circuitry and for use in the priority c within the APL. When the enable nonsafety switch is not active, the nonsafety-related trol signal is ignored. If the enable nonsafety is active, and no automatic or manual actuation mand is present, the nonsafety-related control signal can control the ESFAS output. The dwired module provides isolation for the nonsafety-related signal path.
ations exist in the design where the ESFAS only actuates a Division A component and there o corresponding Division B component, or there is a passive check valve credited as a NE Medical Technologies                      7.5-30                                      Rev. 4
 
e monitored or manipulated by the ESFAS.
h input variable to the ESFAS for monitoring and indication only is processed on independent t submodules that are unique to that input. If the variable is not used for a safety function
, no trip determination is performed with the variable or the variable is used only for actuated ponent position indication), then the variable is not connected to the safety data buses and is placed onto the monitoring and indication bus. The monitoring and indication bus is used by monitoring and indication communication module (MI-CM) without interacting with any of the ty data paths.
ESFAS provides separate communication paths to the PICS display systems from each of three ESFAS divisions. ESFAS divisions A and B are powered from a separate division of the SS; ESFAS division C receives auctioneered power from both UPSS divisions A and B.
3.4          Operating Conditions ESFAS control and logic functions operate inside of the facility control room where the ironment is mild and not exposed to the irradiation process, and is not subject to operational ing. However, the cables for the ESFAS are routed through the radiologically controlled area he process areas. The routed cables have the potential to be exposed to more harsh ditions than the mild environment of the facility control room. The sensors are located inside process confinement boundary; therefore, the terminations of the cables routed to the sors are exposed to the high radiation environment.
ing normal operation, the ESFAS equipment will operate in the applicable normal radiation ironments identified in Table 7.2-1 for up to 20 years, replaced at a frequency sufficient such the radiation qualification of the affected components is not exceeded.
environmental conditions for ESFAS components are outlined in Table 7.2-1 through le 7.2-3. The facility heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are relied upon aintain the temperature and humidity parameters in these areas. The facility HVAC systems described in Section 9a2.1.

3.7          Loss of External Power ESFAS is powered from the UPSS, which provides a reliable source of power to maintain ESFAS functional during normal operation and during and following a design basis event.
UPSS is designed to provide power to the ESFAS controls for six hours after a loss of off-power. The UPSS is described in Section 8a2.2.
trolled components associated with safety actuations are designed to go to their safe state n deenergized. On a loss of power to the ESFAS, the ESFAS deenergizes actuation ponents to the positions defined in Table 7.5-2.
FAS response to a loss of external power signal is discussed in Subsection 7.5.4.1.19.
3.8          Fire Protection ESFAS design utilizes physical separation to minimize the effects from fire or explosion.
ety-related ESFAS equipment in different divisions is located in separate fire areas when ctical. Exceptions include components for all three divisions located in the facility control room in other locations where end devices are installed.

iring is achieved using separate wireways and cable trays for each of Division A, Division B, Division C. Division A and C cables are routed along the south side of the RPF to the facility trol room and Division B cables are routed on the north side of the RPF. Where possible, duit is routed subgrade to provide additional separation. Instrument transmitters are located eparate areas: A and C instrumentation is located primarily on the east side of the G-line wall, e Division B is located along the west side of the wall.
sion A and C ESFAS cabinets are separated by a minimum of four feet and are located on opposite side of the facility control room from where Division B cabinets are located. Portable ss A and Class C fire extinguishers are located in the control room to extinguish fires inating within a cabinet, console, or connecting cables. Wet sprinklers are not used in the lity control room to avoid potentially impairing the ability of the ESFAS to perform its safety tions.
combustible and heat resistant materials are used whenever practical in the ESFAS design, icularly in locations such as confinement boundaries and the facility control room. Use of erials that release toxic or corrosive gases under combustion is minimized.
safety-related ESFAS inputs and outputs are routed in non-divisional cable raceways and segregated from safety-related inputs and outputs. Spatial separation between cable and eway groups is in accordance with Section 5.1.1.2, Table 1 of Section 5.1.3.3, and Table 2 of tion 5.1.4 of IEEE Standard 384-2008 (IEEE, 2008) (Subsection 7.5.3.12).
3.9          Classification and Identification h ESFAS cable and component is uniquely identified in accordance with the SHINE ponent numbering guideline. The unique identification number includes, but is not limited to, tem designation (code), equipment train, and division.
3.10        Setpoints servative setpoints for the ESFAS monitored variables are established based on umented analysis methodology (Subsection 7.2.1). Setpoint analysis parameters typically sider instrument precision, sensitivity, accuracy, loop uncertainties, and computational errors.
quate margin is required between the setpoints and the associated safety limits to ensure the ective action is initiated prior to the safety limit being exceeded. The setpoint values are ved from approved system design technical reports, design calculations, uncertainty ulations, and technical specifications.
3.11        Prioritization of Functions APL (which is constructed of discrete components and part of the equipment interface dule) is designed to provide priority to safety-related signals over nonsafety-related signals.
sion A and Division B priority logic of the ESFAS prioritizes the following ESFAS inputs, with first input listed having the highest priority and each successive input in the list having a lower rity than the previous:

manual actuation inputs from the operators in the facility control room are connected directly he discrete APL. The manual actuation input into the priority logic does not have the ability to bypassed and will always have equal priority to the automated actuation signals over any er signals that are present.

Only then the operator, through deliberate action with the manual enable nonsafety switch, be allowed nable the PICS to reset the components.
4.3        Facility Master Operating Permissive ESFAS incorporates the Facility Master Operating Permissive key switch in the system ign. The key switch has two positions, Operating and Secure (Subsection 7.6.1.1).

4.4          Maintenance Bypass h SFM can be placed in maintenance bypass or in a trip state by use of the OOS switch ted on the front of the SFM and an associated trip/bypass switch located below the SFM.
ails of the physical configuration and operation of the OOS and trip/bypass switches are vided in Sections 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 of Topical Report TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017). Any FAS channels placed in maintenance bypass for maintenance or testing, or removed from ntenance bypass, will be displayed to the operators in the facility control room through the nitoring and indication bus to the PICS.
ndividual SFM within an ESFAS division is allowed to be placed in maintenance bypass for o two hours while the associated input channel(s) is required to be operable, in accordance the technical specifications, for the purpose of performing required technical specification veillance testing. A time limit of two hours is acceptable based on the small amount of time the nnel could be in bypass, the continual attendance by operations or maintenance personnel ng the test, the continued operability of the redundant channel(s), and the low likelihood that accident would occur during the two-hour time period.
SFM may also be placed in trip by use of the OOS and trip/bypass switches, as described in tions 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 of Topical Report TR-1015-18653 (NuScale, 2017). Placing an SFM in preserves the single failure criterion for variables associated with that SFM where three nnels are provided.

4.5          Testing Capability ting of the ESFAS consists of the inservice self-testing capabilities of the HIPS platform and odic surveillance testing.
-to-end testing of the entire HIPS platform can be performed through overlap testing.
vidual self-tests in the various components of the ESFAS ensure that the entire component is tioning correctly. Self-test features are provided for components that do not have setpoints or able parameters. ESFAS components, except the discrete APL of the EIM, have self-testing abilities that ensure the information passed on to the following step in the signal path is ect.
discrete logic of the APL of the EIM does not have self-test capability but is instead tionally tested. This functional testing consists of periodic simulated automatic and manual ations to verify the functionality of the APL and the manual actuation pushbuttons.
ting of input devices consists of channel checks, channel tests, and channel calibrations.
nnel checks are performed while the channel is in service. Channel tests and channel brations may be performed while the associated equipment is in a condition where the nnel is required to be operable (i.e., inservice), by placing the associated SFM in ntenance bypass (Subsection 7.5.4.4). Channel tests and channel calibrations may also be ormed when the channel is not required to be operable.
4.6          Technical Specifications and Surveillance iting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requirements are established for ESFAS c, voting, and actuation divisions and instrumentation monitored by ESFAS as input to safety ations.
5        HIGHLY INTEGRATED PROTECTION SYSTEM (HIPS) DESIGN ESFAS utilizes a HIPS platform to achieve the desired architecture for ESFAS system trol. The HIPS platform used to support both the TRPS and the ESFAS is described in section 7.4.5.

SHINE facility control room contains the necessary workstations, displays, and control inets needed for the operation of the main production facility. The facility control room is ted in the non-radiologically controlled area of the main production facility.
hin the facility control room, there is a main control board, two process integrated control tem (PICS) operator workstations, two neutron driver assembly system (NDAS) workstations, a supervisor workstation. The operator workstations consist of display screens and human rface equipment, and the main control board consists of a console, static display screens, manual actuation interfaces. The supervisor workstation is similar to the PICS operator kstations, but is typically used for monitoring purposes only, and is not normally assigned any trol functions. The main control board, PICS operator and supervisor workstations, and ociated control equipment are considered part of the PICS. The PICS provides nonsafety-ted system status and measured process variable values for viewing, recording, and trending e facility control room (Subsection 7.3.3.1). The main control board, PICS and NDAS rator workstations, and supervisor workstation are not credited with performing safety tions and only assist operators in performance of normal operations or diverse actuations to safety systems.
SHINE facility additionally contains local control stations with limited functionality used for orming specific local tasks.
1        DESCRIPTION 1.1          Main Control Board main control board is located on the east wall of the facility control room between the two ances to the room, as shown in Figure 7.6-1. The main control board is approximately 25 feet e and contains eight sections each containing one column of displays dedicated to a single diation unit (IU), and a ninth section containing two columns of displays dedicated to other cesses within the facility. The ninth section, for the facility generally, is located between the th and fifth IU sections.
static display screens, which show the variables important to the safety functions of the IUs other facility processes, are located on the upper half of the main control board, aligned in e rows of displays. The configuration of the main control board, including the location of the ic display screens, is shown in Figure 7.6-2. The static display screens are used by the rator to verify the status of the main production facility. The current mode of operation for h IU is displayed on a static display screen associated with that IU.
nual actuation interfaces (i.e., physical push buttons and switches), which provide diverse ans to actuate automated safety functions, are located in the space directly below the static lay screens at each main control board section, as shown in Figure 7.6-2. In the same area he manual actuation interfaces, there is an enable nonsafety switch (labeled E/D for able/Disable) for each IU section and for the facility process section, which allows operators nable the PICS ability to manipulate equipment that can also be actuated by the target tion vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS) or the engineered safety features ation system (ESFAS). Manual actuations are not required to ensure adequate safety of the lity, as described in Chapter 13.

1.2          Operator Workstation re are four desks that make up the main operator workstations, centrally located within the lity control room, aligned end-to-end in front of the main control board. The two outermost ks are designated as PICS workstations and the two inner desks are NDAS control stations.
h workstation contains multiple display screens. Configuration of the operator workstations is wn in Figure 7.6-1.
er PICS workstation can display any of the available PICS display screens for monitoring poses. PICS controls are designed such that they can only be manipulated by a single station ny given time to prevent two operators from inputting conflicting commands. While control of h IU or process is normally assigned to a particular workstation, control can also be sferred between workstations for operational flexibility. Control of a process or IU may also ransferred to the supervisor workstation if necessary (e.g., to perform maintenance on an rator workstation, or to accommodate additional workload). A limited set of control functions be transferred to local control stations as described in Subsection 7.6.1.6. Only one kstation (operator, supervisor, or local) is allowed to input control commands to a particular ponent at any time.
of the screens at the PICS workstation is used to display the alarms present in the facility.
screen is designated as monitoring only so that, when an alarm is present, the screen omatically changes the content displayed to the current alarms that are present without rrupting a control process. The remaining screens can be used for control or monitoring as operator tasks demand.
des of operation for the IUs are advanced by the operator at the PICS operator workstation ugh the use of the equipment control screens. Even though the operator has the ability to ance the mode of operation at the workstation, maintaining the current mode of operation is e in the safety-related control systems. If permissive conditions are not met to achieve the t mode of operation, the operator will not be able to move on to the following mode of ration until permissive conditions have been achieved.
two NDAS control stations allow operators to monitor and make adjustments to any of the t neutron drivers in the eight IU cells. The NDAS control stations are only allowed to provide trol signals to the NDAS when a permissive provided by the PICS is satisfied. The NDAS trol stations are used to interface with the vendor provided NDAS control system described in section 4a2.3.4.
1.3          Supervisor Workstation supervisor workstation is located on an elevated platform on the west side of the facility trol room facing the operator workstations and the main control board. The supervisor kstation is similar to the PICS operator workstations, and may be used to control a process or but is normally used for monitoring facility status only. The supervisor station does not have NDAS control capabilities.

nual actuation inputs from the main control board are connected downstream of the safety-ted control system programmable logic functions as described in Subsection 7.4.5.2.4.
trols for normal operation are provided at the operator workstations. Multiple equipment trol displays are set up at each operator workstation for operators to select the PICS (or AS) display screen that coincides with the task that the operator is currently performing.
rface with the equipment control displays is through a keyboard and mouse provided for each NE Medical Technologies                      7.6-11                                        Rev. 1
 
rator workstation is normally assigned a specific set of IUs or processes for which the PICS lays provide control functions. The supervisor workstation is not normally assigned control tions, and the local PICS control stations are only assigned limited control functions when roved by a control room supervisor. For PICS display screens where the station has not been igned a control function, the PICS displays provide monitoring capabilities only. Limiting trol capabilities for each IU or facility system or process to a single workstation at a given time vent two operators from entering conflicting commands to a single component or process. On ilure of one PICS operator workstation, control functions assigned to that station can be sferred to the remaining PICS operator workstation or the supervisor workstation.
NDAS control stations can each provide control of any of the eight neutron drivers, but each AS control station can only provide control commands to one neutron driver at any given time.
4.4          Information Retrieval variables monitored by each of the safety systems, radiation monitoring systems, and the S are recorded into a data historian. The PICS obtains the information that is to be recorded provides that information to the facility data and communication system (FDCS) where the a historian is located. The data historian provides the ability to retrieve post-event data ing. Through the use of the information provided to the FDCS, off-site monitoring is provided.
rmation from the FDCS historian is able to be retrieved by operations personnel in the facility trol room on demand.
4.5          Reliability al batteries are provided for PICS servers, the operator workstations, and the main control rd to ensure the PICS continues to operate for at least 10 minutes after a loss of external er event and the SGS provides backup power to the PICS if normal power is interrupted bsection 7.6.3.5).
play screens in the facility control room are industrial flat panel displays to ensure compliance electromagnetic compatibility requirements in an industrial setting.
nsmission of information between systems is through unidirectional data transfers. Each of safety system communications to the nonsafety PICS system is through one-way data munications from the safety systems to the nonsafety system. There are no unidirectional munications that allow the nonsafety system to communicate back to the safety systems venting the ability to propagate a failure from the nonsafety control system displays to the ty control systems. The PICS communication to the FDCS is through a one-way data diode h that no communication from outside of the PICS (other than the inputs from the safety-ted control systems) can have an impact on the operation of the PICS. Communications of indication and diagnostic information of the TRPS and ESFAS to the maintenance kstation are through a unidirectional point-to-point communication bus so that the ntenance workstation does not have an effect on the TRPS or ESFAS.
ilure in the display systems results in distinct display changes, which directly indicate that icted plant conditions are invalid.

SRM is used to monitor the main facility stack, which is the normal release path for gaseous ents from the PVVS and RCA ventilation systems. The SRM includes a mass flow controller egulate sample flow rate in the isokinetic region relative to stack flow. A vacuum pump is used raw sampled air through particulate and iodine filter cartridges, which are removed and lyzed periodically. The sampled air is then drawn into a sample chamber, which houses a a detector used to measure the noble gas radionuclides. The ratemeter for the beta radiation nitor indicates and displays the radiation level inside the sampler from the sampled air. From sampler, the air is drawn through the flow controller assembly, pump, and exhausted into the rn line. Downstream of the particulate and iodine filter, a connection for the tritium detection tem is provided. The tritium monitor has its own pump and flow control. The tritium detector is ssive sampler collecting system (i.e., bubble system) to continuously collect and concentrate mental tritium and tritiated water in small vials. The contents of the vials are assayed using a tillation counter at regular intervals.
CDBEM monitors noble gases at the exhaust of the PVVS carbon delay beds using a pling system. Redundant particulate and iodine filters are installed in-line with the effluent am, upstream of the safety-related exhaust point, which operates at a much lower flow rate proximately 16 standard cubic feet per minute) than the main facility stack.

NE Medical Technologies 7.7-20 Rev. 3 1        SYSTEM DESCRIPTION neutron flux detection system (NFDS) performs the task of monitoring and indicating the tron flux to determine the multiplication factor and power level during filling of the target tion vessel (TSV) and irradiating the target solution. The signal from the detectors is smitted to the pre-amplifiers where the signal is amplified and filtering for noise reduction is ormed. The output of the pre-amplifier is transmitted to cabinets in the facility control room re the signal processing units are located. The signal processing units perform measurement he neutron flux signal from the pre-amplifier, signal processing, indication and interfacing with er systems. The NFDS interfaces with the TSV reactivity protection system (TRPS) for safety-ted interfaces and monitoring and indication, and interfaces with the process integrated trol system (PICS) for nonsafety-related functions.
NFDS monitors variables important to the safety functions of the irradiation unit (IU) to vide input to the TRPS to perform its safety functions.
NFDS provides continuous indication of the neutron flux during operation, from filling ugh maximum power during irradiation. To cover the entire range of neutron flux levels, there three different ranges provided from the NFDS: source range, wide range, and power range.
rce range covers the low levels expected while the TSV is being filled while power range ers the higher flux levels anticipated while the neutron driver is on and irradiating. To cover gap between the source and power ranges, the wide range monitors the flux levels between source and power range with a minimum two decade overlap with the high end of the source ge and the low end of the power range.
NFDS is a three-division system with three detectors positioned around the subcritical embly support structure (SASS) at approximately 120-degree intervals to the TSV. Each sion of the NFDS consists of a watertight detector located in the light water pool, a pre-plifier mounted in the radioisotope production facility (RPF), and a signal processing unit de the facility control room. The three watertight detectors located in a light water pool are ported using brackets attached to the outer shell of the SASS. These brackets serve to locate flux detectors in a fixed location relative to the TSV, ensuring flux profiles are measured sistently such that the sensitivity in the source range reliably indicates the neutron flux levels ugh the entire range of filling with the target solution.
2        DESIGN CRITERIA SHINE facility design criteria applicable to the NFDS are as stated in Chapter 3, Table 3.1-1.
facility design criteria applicable to the NFDS, and the NFDS system design criteria, are ressed in this section.
2.1          SHINE Facility Design Criteria NE facility design criteria 13 through 19 apply to the NFDS.
NE Medical Technologies                      7.8-1                                        Rev. 2
 
SHINE Design Criterion 13 - Instrumentation is provided to monitor variables and systems over their anticipated ranges for normal operation, for anticipated transients, and for postulated accidents as appropriate to ensure adequate safety, including those variables and systems that can affect the fission process, the integrity of the primary system boundary, the primary confinement and its associated systems, and the process confinement boundary and its associated systems. Appropriate controls are provided to maintain these variables and systems within prescribed operating ranges.
NFDS provides continuous indication of the neutron flux during operation, from filling ugh maximum power during irradiation (Subsection 7.8.1). The neutron flux detector oints bound normal operations and accident conditions and provide margin to analytical ts (Subsection 7.8.4.3). Setpoints are established based on a documented methodology and ounts for uncertainties in each instrument channel (Subsection 7.8.2.2.5). The NFDS ports maintenance and testing to ensure operability as required by the technical cifications (Subsection 7.8.3.10).
2.1.2        Protection System Functions SHINE Design Criterion 14 - The protection systems are designed to:
: 1) initiate, automatically, the operation of appropriate systems to ensure that specified acceptable target solution design limits are not exceeded as a result of anticipated transients; and
: 2) sense accident conditions and to initiate the operation of safety-related systems and components.
tron flux detector setpoints bound normal operations and accident conditions and provide gin to analytical limits (Subsection 7.8.4.3). Upon reaching the neutron flux signal setpoints ble 7.4-1), automatic safety actuations are initiated by the TRPS, as described in section 7.4.4.1.
2.1.3        Protection System Reliability and Testability SHINE Design Criterion 15 - The protection systems are designed for high functional reliability and inservice testability commensurate with the safety functions to be performed.
Redundancy and independence designed into the protection systems are sufficient to ensure that:
: 1) no single failure results in loss of the protection function, and
: 2) removal from service of any component or channel does not result in loss of the required minimum redundancy unless the acceptable reliability of operation of the protection system can be otherwise demonstrated.
The protection systems are designed to permit periodic testing, including a capability to test channels independently to determine failures and losses of redundancy that may have occurred.
NE Medical Technologies                    7.8-2                                        Rev. 2
 
DS such that a failure of an interfacing nonsafety system will not impact the NFDS bsection 7.8.3.3 and Figure 7.4-1). The NFDS supports maintenance and testing to ensure rability as required by the technical specifications. The NFDS is designed to allow operators emove portions of the NFDS from service when not required for operation without impacting DS components specific to other IU cells (Subsection 7.8.3.10). The independent NFDS sions interface with TRPS, which has been analyzed for single failure in accordance with E Standard 379-2000 (IEEE, 2000) for all inputs, including NFDS.
2.1.4        Protection System Independence SHINE Design Criterion 16 - The protection systems are designed to ensure that the effects of natural phenomena, and of normal operating, maintenance, testing, and postulated accident conditions on redundant channels do not result in loss of the protection function or are demonstrated to be acceptable on some other defined basis. Design techniques, such as functional diversity or diversity in component design and principles of operation, are used to the extent practical to prevent loss of the protection function.
NFDS is qualified for operation during and after a seismic design basis event using the ance in IEEE Standard 344-2013 (IEEE, 2013) (Subsection 7.8.3.8). The NFDS components located in the RPF, the IF, and facility control room and are protected from seismic events, ado wind, tornado missile and external flooding (Subsection 7.8.3.8). Hurricanes, tsunamis, seiches are not credible events at the SHINE facility (Subsection 2.4.5.1, 2.4.2.7, and 5.2). Physical and electrical independence (Subsection 7.8.3.4), redundancy bsection 7.8.3.3), equipment qualification (Subsection 7.8.3.7) and quality in design bsection 7.8.3.11) are applied in the NFDS design to prevent loss of the protective function.
2.1.5        Protection System Failure Modes SHINE Design Criterion 17 - The protection systems are designed to fail into a safe state if conditions such as disconnection of the system, loss of energy (e.g., electric power, instrument air), or postulated adverse environments are experienced.
NFDS is designed so that a failure due to loss of power to the NFDS or a removal of an DS channel presents to TRPS as zero current on the analog outputs to allow TRPS to treat condition as a positive trip determination . The interaction between NFDS and TRPS is wn in Figure 7.4-1 (Subsection 7.8.3.5).
2.1.6        Separation of Protection and Control Systems SHINE Design Criterion 18 - The protection system is separated from control systems to the extent that failure of any single control system component or channel, or failure or removal from service of any single protection system component or channel that is common to the control and protection systems leaves intact a system satisfying all reliability, redundancy, and independence requirements of the protection system. Interconnection of the protection and control systems is limited to assure that safety is not significantly impaired.
NFDS is comprised of three redundant divisions of detectors, preamplifiers, and processing uits for single failure protection (Subsection 7.8.3.3). Communications from the NFDS to the NE Medical Technologies                      7.8-3                                        Rev. 2
 
tions of the NFDS (Subsection 7.8.3.2).
2.1.7        Protection Against Anticipated Transients SHINE Design Criterion 19 - The protection systems are designed to ensure an extremely high probability of accomplishing their safety functions in the event of anticipated transients.
NFDS is comprised of three redundant divisions of detectors, preamplifiers, and processing uits for single failure protection (Subsection 7.8.3.3). The three divisions of the NFDS are sically and electrically independent of each other (Subsection 7.8.3.4) and the NFDS ipment is qualified for normal and transient conditions (Subsections 7.8.3.6 and 7.8.3.7).
2.2          NFDS System Design Criteria 2.2.1        General Instrumentation and Control NFDS Criterion 1 - The range of operation of detector channels for the NFDS shall be sufficient to cover the expected range of variation of monitored neutron flux during normal and transient operation.
neutron flux detector setpoints bound normal operations and accident conditions and vide margin to analytical limits (Subsection 7.8.4.3).
NFDS Criterion 2 - The NFDS shall give continuous indication of the neutron flux from subcritical source multiplication level through licensed maximum power range. The continuous indication shall ensure at least two decades of overlap in indication is maintained while observation is transferred from one channel to another.
NFDS provides continuous indication of the neutron flux from zero counts per second to at t 250 percent power with two decades of overlap (Subsection 7.8.3.1).
NFDS Criterion 3 - The NFDS power range channels shall provide reliable TSV power level while the source range channel provides count rate information from detectors that directly monitor the neutron flux.
NFDS power range provides a signal proportional to TSV power level from 0 to 125 percent he licensed power limit. The source range provides a current signal proportional to count rate all expected startup count rates (Subsection 7.8.3.1).
NFDS Criterion 4 - The NFDS log power range channel (i.e., wide range channel) and a linear flux monitoring channel (i.e., power range channel) shall accurately sense neutrons during irradiation, even in the presence of intense high gamma radiation.
