Dominion Energy Virginia Response | |||
Seven (7) baskets will be installed in each of the Surry Unit 1 and Unit 2 Containments and will contain the required amount of NaTB chemical. Each basket will have nominal dimensions of 6' x 5' x 1.5'. The baskets will be installed on the (-)27'-7" elevation of the Surry Unit 1 and Unit 2 Containments near the annulus, as well as near the lncore Instrumentation Room. The baskets use a fine mesh supported by a perforated plate to contain the NaTB chemical that allows the containment sump water to passively dissolve the NaTB. The perforated plate and fine mesh system encompass the four basket side walls and the basket bottom. The planned installation locations of the baskets in the Surry Units 1 and 2 Containments are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, and are provided for information. It should be noted that the locations could be adjusted during the design change implementation process due to unforeseen installation issues. | |||

A new calculation was developed in support of the CAT removal / buffer replacement design change to assess the impact on Surry's resolution of Generic Safety Issue (GSl)-191 / GL 2004-02 as a result of changing the buffer from sodium hydroxide to NaTB. The assessment was based on both industry literature and utilizing the existing chemical effects models to predict aluminum dissolution following buffer replacement. The design sump pH limits do not change with buffer replacement; however, the pH of the initial spray from the RWST is greatly reduced without adding NaOH. The reduction in the initial spray pH results in less aluminum dissolution and therefore less subsequent precipitation. The overall conclusion of the assessment is that the design basis strainer head loss testing that was performed using chemical precipitate quantities based on a sodium hydroxide buffer remains bounding for the use of the | |||

The assessment was based on both industry literature and utilizing the existing chemical effects models to predict aluminum dissolution following buffer replacement. The design sump pH limits do not change with buffer replacement; however, the pH of the initial spray from the RWST is greatly reduced without adding NaOH. The reduction in the initial spray pH results in less aluminum dissolution and therefore less subsequent precipitation. The overall conclusion of the assessment is that the design basis strainer head loss testing that was performed using chemical precipitate quantities based on a sodium hydroxide buffer remains bounding for the use of the Na TB buffer. | |||
Post-LOCA Sump Volume Discussion | |||
The CAT volume ranges from approximately 3,700 to 4,650 gallons but was not included in the minimum flood level used for the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) net positive suction head (NPSH) analysis. Therefore, removal of the CAT does not impact the flood level used for the NPSH analysis. The maximum flood level analysis includes the volume of water from the CAT. The impact on maximum flood level of the total basket volume including solid NaTB (45 ft3 metal + chemical volume per basket) was evaluated. This evaluation accounts for the removal of the credited volume from the CAT, as well as the volume of water displaced by the addition of the | |||
Page 9 of 12 Serial No. 21-138A Docket Nos. 50-280/281 Enclosure | |||
Na TB baskets. The addition of the total basket volume including solid Na TB is less than the volume from the CAT; therefore, it was determined the maximum flood level remains below the design basis value after buffer replacement. | |||

The Na TB baskets are designed of stainless steel (Type 304 SS) and have a frame with a fine mesh and perforated metal plate enclosure. The baskets are designed with four caster wheels (type 304 SS and 2205 Duplex SS) to facilitate the movement of the baskets during outages, if required. The baskets are designed with a raised bottom to provide additional surface area to dissolve the NaTB in sump water and to avoid loss of NaTB due to any inadvertent water spillage or leakage on the containment floor. The baskets include internal level indication used for inventory verification and ease of adding NaTB, as well as a removable cover w_hich is provided with a drip edge to ensure that accumulated leaks/condensate above the baskets are directed away from the NaTB inside the basket. | |||

The safety injection system provides for the charging of borated water to the reactor coolant system from the accumulators following a LO A. The three accumulators are se lf-contained and are designed to supply water as soon as the reactor c olant system pres ure drops below 600 psig. | |||
Additional makeup to the reactor coolant system is provided by the charging pumps, operating in the safety inject ion mode, and the low-head safety injection pumps. Bot h the charging and low-head safety injection pumps a re lo cated out ide the containment, are driven by an electr ic motor, are capable of being rapidly energized or operated, and are powered from the emergency power buses. The pumps also ensure an adequate supply of borated water for an extended period of time by recircu.lating water from the containm ent sump to the reactor core through two separate flow paths. | |||
The containment spray subsystem supplies chilled borated water to the conta inm ent immediately following the receipt of the safeguards initiation signa l. This ubsystem includes two full-capacity, e lectric-motor-driven containment spray pumps that are located outside the containment and are supp li ed with power from the emergency buse. The containment spray pumps supply chilled water from the refueling water storage tank to the containment. E ither pump is capable of furnishing sufficient spray water to prevent overpressurizing the conta inm ent strncture. A chemical addition tank is balanced hydraulically with the refueling water storage tank...------, | |||

Two of the four 50% design capacity, motor-driven recirculation pray pumps are located outside the containment. All four of the rec irculat ion spray coo lers are located in ide the containment and transfer conta inm ent heat to the service water system ( ection 9.9). | |||
The containment spray and reci rcul ation spray subsyste s arc capab le of reducing the containment pressure to subatmo pheric in less than 60 minute, thu terminat in g all out leakage to the environment. Thi origin a l design criterion was modifie in conjunction with the analyses for implementation f the a lt ernativ e o urce term. The modi 1ed criteria requ ire that, fo ll owing the LOCA, the containment pres ure be less than 1.0 psig ithin 1 hour and less than 0.0 psig within 4 hour. he radiolo gical c n equences analysis de onstrate acceptable results provided the containment pre sure does not exceed 1.0 psig for the *. terval from 1 to 4 hours following the Design Basis Accident. Beyond 4 hour, containment pre sure is assumed to be le s than 0.0 psig, terminating leakage from containment. | |||

Such features are a necessary part of the circuit (such as a limit switch), or they require conscious effort by an operator to prevent operation (such as manipulation of a pushbutton or a selector switch ). A valve limit switch could act to delay safeguards - initiated operation if the valve was in mid-travel and had to complete the travel sequence before operating in response to the safeguards signal. A pushbutton or selector switch held in the actuated position gives the operators an option, in some cases, of delaying component response to an emergency safeguards signals. | ||

CHAPTER6 ENGINEEREDSAFEGUARDS | |||
6.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION | |||
Note: A required by the Renewed Operating Licenses for urry Units 1 and 2, issued March 20, 2003, various systems, structures, and components discussed within this chapter are subject to aging management. The programs and activities necessary to manage the aging of these systems, structures, and components are discussed in C h ap te r 18. | |||
The engineered afeguards, t gether with the containment ( ha pt er 5), protect the public and the station in the event of the design-basis accident, as defined in Sections 14.5. 1.2 and 14.5. 5. The engineered safeguards are designed to minimize the accident by performing the fo ll owing three functions: | |||
I. Supply borated water to the reactor coolant system to cool the core, decrease reactivity, limit fuel rod c ladding temperatures, limit the metal-water reaction, and ensure that the core remains intact. | |||

Pr ior to unit operation, the water in the refueling water storage tank is cooled to a temperature of slightly below 45 °F by either circulating the water through a heat exchanger that uses chilled water from the chil led wat r subsystem f the c mponent cooling system | |||
( cction 9.4) or by u ing mechanical refrigeration units. Mechanical refrigeration units then maintain the tank water be low 45°F. The tan l is insu lated. The refueling water storage tank also has a nozzle connection that supplies water to the safety injection system ( cc t ion 6.2 ). | |||
The refu ling water storage tank (RW ) is a passive component and is required on ly during a short period fo llowing an accident. It is provided with four channe ls f level indication, which provide signals to level indicat r,. The level ind ication range for the RWST is approximately J 4,000 gall ns at 0% leve l to approximately 399,000 gallons at 100% level. The RW Ti maintained at greater than 387, l 00 ga ll ons of borated water at or be low a temperature of 45°F during normal p lant power operations. Leve l transmitters provide input to a low level a larm and an empty a larm when RW T level drops below these respective setpoint. When tw of ti ur channels have sensed a low R WST level condition, an interlock ignal i generated to a ll ow for the start of the IR and OR pumps on a L I-E-Hi Actuat ion. Additional ly, when two of four channe ls have s nse d a low-low R W level condition, a signa l is generated to realign afety injection to the recirculation mode automatically. It takes approximately three minute to r align the va lves from injection to recircu lation mode. The key value fo r th RW T assumed in the safety analysis are presented in Tab le 5.4-17. The safet ana l sis values are conservative with respect to plant operation. | |||

Flow f the sodium hydrox ide so l ution is from the chemical addition tank directly to the containment pray pump suction v ia a caustic add ition line. This flow path pr vides for a reduced caustic trans it time and introduces the caustic at an es ntially on tant rate. The con tant add ition rate Rrovides for a more constant pray pH during the variou modes of afeguards system operatio INSERT | |||

RESPONSE TO NRC REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
License Amendment Request - Removal of Refueling Water Chemical Addition Tank and Replacement of Containment Sump Buffer
Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2
BACKGROUND
By letter dated September 30, 2021 (Serial No.21-138), Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion Energy Virginia) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Surry Power Station (Surry) Units 1 and 2. The proposed LAR would revise the Surry Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS) to eliminate the Refueling Water Chemical Addition Tank (CAT) and allow the use of sodium tetraborate decahydrate (NaTB) to replace sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as a chemical additive (buffer) for containment sump pH control following a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). By letter dated November 10, 2021, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRG) informed Dominion Energy Virginia that additional information was required before the NRG would accept the LAR for review and provided an opportunity to supplement the proposed LAR by providing additional information to address the items detailed in their letter.
Dominion Energy Virginia's response to the NRG request for supplemental information is provided below.
NRC Request No. 1
A description of how the Na TB (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) will be stored, such as the number of baskets, size, detailed x-y-z location, and how they are designed to contain the Na TB while allowing access for the water to dissolve it.
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
Seven (7) baskets will be installed in each of the Surry Unit 1 and Unit 2 Containments and will contain the required amount of NaTB chemical. Each basket will have nominal dimensions of 6' x 5' x 1.5'. The baskets will be installed on the (-)27'-7" elevation of the Surry Unit 1 and Unit 2 Containments near the annulus, as well as near the lncore Instrumentation Room. The baskets use a fine mesh supported by a perforated plate to contain the NaTB chemical that allows the containment sump water to passively dissolve the NaTB. The perforated plate and fine mesh system encompass the four basket side walls and the basket bottom. The planned installation locations of the baskets in the Surry Units 1 and 2 Containments are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, and are provided for information. It should be noted that the locations could be adjusted during the design change implementation process due to unforeseen installation issues.

NRC Request No. 4
A description of the methodology and results for calculating pH and the required Na TB quantity, or the analysis.
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
The pH / buffer quantity analysis considers all species in the containment sump solution to be in equilibrium, i.e., it is based on steady state conditions. The sump pH is computed using guidance from NUREG/CR-5950.
The concentration of negatively charged species (anions) must equal the concentration of positively charged species (cations) for electroneutrality in the sump. The sum of negative charges for the charge balance is determined from the molal concentrations of anions B(OH)4*, B2(OH)1*, 83(QH)10*, 84(QH)1i* or 85(QH)1a3*, OH*, NQ3*, Cl*, and 1-.
The sum of positive charges for the charge balance is determined from the concentrations of H+, Na+, Cs+, and u+. The ionic activity product constant of water is modeled using the Marshall-Frank correlation 1.
Boric acid speciation is based on the temperature dependent molal-equilibrium quotients reported by Palmer 2. The concentration of boron in solution based on the total mass of boric acid and NaTB must be equal to the concentration based on the contribution of all boric acid species.
Equilibrium sump conditions are determined using an analytical model which was benchmarked to site-specific buffer testing using the same buffer as will be installed.
Different inputs are utilized based on whether the calculation is determining: 1) solution pH based on buffer quantity, or 2) buffer quantity based on desired solution pH. The model iterates boric acid speciation, and either NaTB mass or pH until convergence is achieved for the boron mass balance and charge balance equations.
The amount of NaTB required for long-term post-LOCA containment sump pH control (i.e., to ensure the sump pH remains at or above 7) is approximately 10,760 lbm. This quantity is determined using the methodology described above, as well as the inputs described in the response to NRC Request No. 5.

NRC Request No. 5
For each case considered, a description of how input values and ranges were selected for the water and chemicals used in the calculations (e.g., water, boron, NaTB, and other acids and bases).
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
- Determination of NaTB Required
The following inputs were used to determine the NaTB required to ensure the minimum required sump pH at the time when Recirculation Spray is credited for iodine removal and at 30 days for 1-train of Engineered Safety Features (ESF) and full ESF. These inputs conservatively bias high the quantities of acids and bias low the quantities of bases.
- Sump pH= 7.0
- Maximum mass of boron/boric acid in the containment sump at time of interest for the ESF scenario being investigated
- Minimum lithium concentration in RCS
- Hydrochloric acid generation due to cable irradiation at time of interest (biased high)
- Nitric acid generation due to water irradiation at time of interest (biased high)
- Maximum core iodine release at time of interest
- Minimum core cesium release at time of interest
- Minimum NaTB chemical equivalence
- Determination of Maximum Sump pH Values
The following inputs were used to determine the maximum sump pH at select times for 1-train ESF and full ESF cases. These inputs conservatively bias high the quantities of bases and bias low the quantities of acids.
- Maximum NaTB mass at time of interest
- Minimum mass of boron/boric acid in the containment sump at time of interest for the scenario being investigated
- Maximum lithium concentration in RCS
- No hydrochloric acid generation due to cable irradiation
- No nitric acid generation due to water irradiation
- No core iodine release
- Maximum core cesium release at time of interest
- Maximum NaTB chemical equivalence
Page 7 of 12 Serial No. 21-138A Docket Nos. 50-280/281 Enclosure
NRC Request No. 6
An explanation for how the mass of Na TB would be measured in order to meet the proposed requirement in Technical Specification 3.4.A.4.
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
Each basket has indication marks to assist in visually identifying the minimum acceptable level of NaTB to be added in the field. The basket mark indicating the minimum level is higher than the minimum required level associated with the specified TS minimum buffer mass, based on the minimum buffer density, which ensures sufficient buffer will be installed in containment.
NRC Request No. 7
A description of the test that will be performed to verify that the Na TB in the baskets provides adequate pH adjustment, according to the proposed sampling test #4 in the license amendment submission, Table 4.1-28, "Minimum Frequencies for Sampling Tests."
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
A NaTB buffer sample will be taken from each of the seven baskets during each refueling outage (RFO). Using the sample, a known quantity of buffer will be added to a known quantity/concentration of borated water. The test will be satisfactory provided the resultant solution pH is 7.0 or greater. The mass of the NaTB added to the test is based on the initial prototypical pH adjustment / buffer testing that was previously performed in support of the buffer replacement.
NRC Request No. 8
Revisions to Final Safety Analysis Report Sections such as 6. 1 (General Description),
6.2.3.3 (Chemical Additives), and 6.3.1 (Spray System), which describe the use and characteristics of sodium hydroxide as the chemical additive.
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
The proposed updates to the Surry Unit 1 and Unit 2 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) to reflect the proposed changes described in the LAR are provided in Attachments 1 and 2, respectively. The UFSAR updates will be implemented in accordance with the design change update process associated with the design change packages implementing the removal of the CATs and the replacement of the containment sump buffer. The proposed Unit 1 UFSAR revision is an interim revision
Page 8 of 12 Serial No. 21-138A Docket Nos. 50-280/281 Enclosure
that reflects the differences between Unit 1 and Unit 2 following the implementation of the Unit 1 modifications during the fall 2022 refueling outage (RFO). The Unit 2 UFSAR revision reflects the final plant configuration after the modifications have been completed for both units following the Unit 2 spring 2023 RFO. The Surry Unit 1 and 2 site Plot Plans in the UFSAR will also be revised to reflect the removal of the CAT at each unit.
NRC Request No. 9
A reference to the current GL 2004-02, "Potential Impact of Debris Blockage on Emergency Recirculation During Design Basis Accidents at Pressurized-Water Reactors" chemical effects assessment of record for Surry Units 1 and 2 that supports the license amendment's statement of reducing chemical precipitate, and a discussion, as appropriate, describing how this change may effect post-LOCA sump volumes.
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
The Surry GL 2004-02 chemical effects analysis is summarized in Dominion Energy Virginia's letter to the NRC dated February 27, 2009 [ADAMS Accession No.
090641018]. A new calculation was developed in support of the CAT removal / buffer replacement design change to assess the impact on Surry's resolution of Generic Safety Issue (GSl)-191 / GL 2004-02 as a result of changing the buffer from sodium hydroxide to NaTB. The assessment was based on both industry literature and utilizing the existing chemical effects models to predict aluminum dissolution following buffer replacement. The design sump pH limits do not change with buffer replacement; however, the pH of the initial spray from the RWST is greatly reduced without adding NaOH. The reduction in the initial spray pH results in less aluminum dissolution and therefore less subsequent precipitation. The overall conclusion of the assessment is that the design basis strainer head loss testing that was performed using chemical precipitate quantities based on a sodium hydroxide buffer remains bounding for the use of the Na TB buffer.
Post-LOCA Sump Volume Discussion
The CAT volume ranges from approximately 3,700 to 4,650 gallons but was not included in the minimum flood level used for the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) net positive suction head (NPSH) analysis. Therefore, removal of the CAT does not impact the flood level used for the NPSH analysis. The maximum flood level analysis includes the volume of water from the CAT. The impact on maximum flood level of the total basket volume including solid NaTB (45 ft3 metal + chemical volume per basket) was evaluated. This evaluation accounts for the removal of the credited volume from the CAT, as well as the volume of water displaced by the addition of the
Page 9 of 12 Serial No. 21-138A Docket Nos. 50-280/281 Enclosure
Na TB baskets. The addition of the total basket volume including solid Na TB is less than the volume from the CAT; therefore, it was determined the maximum flood level remains below the design basis value after buffer replacement.

Dominion Energy Virginia Response
The Na TB baskets are designed of stainless steel (Type 304 SS) and have a frame with a fine mesh and perforated metal plate enclosure. The baskets are designed with four caster wheels (type 304 SS and 2205 Duplex SS) to facilitate the movement of the baskets during outages, if required. The baskets are designed with a raised bottom to provide additional surface area to dissolve the NaTB in sump water and to avoid loss of NaTB due to any inadvertent water spillage or leakage on the containment floor. The baskets include internal level indication used for inventory verification and ease of adding NaTB, as well as a removable cover w_hich is provided with a drip edge to ensure that accumulated leaks/condensate above the baskets are directed away from the NaTB inside the basket.
The weight of one filled NaTB basket is approximately 3,975 lbs., and the weight of one fully assembled empty NaTB basket is approximately 1,425 lbs.
A picture of baskets similar to the planned baskets is provided in Figure 3.

Objective evidence (data, calculations) to support the statement in the license amendment that "The design loads for the baskets are generated by combining the unfactored load effects of dead loading, chemical pressure loading, and seismic loading...[the] baskets were evaluated to maintain their structural integrity during a Design Basis Earthquake event concurrent with post LOCA elevated temperature conditions." This information should also state the applicable design code applied, applicable design loads, load combinations used for the design, a summary of computed stresses, and margins showing the structural integrity of the baskets.
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
The basket members and connections are analyzed to meet applicable licensing and design basis requirements in the UFSAR and Dominion Energy Nuclear Engineering Standard (ONES) DNES-STD-CE-0046, AISC 9th Edition, "Manual of Steel Construction". In accordance with the AISC 9th Edition and UFSAR Section 15.2.4, Seismic Design, allowable stresses for members may be increased by 1/3 for earthquake loading using the applicable load combinations. When considering the 1/3 increase for earthquake loading, the maximum member interaction for members, connections, welds, wheels, bolts, and anchor bolts is less than the required 1.0. While not required, additional checks were conservatively performed on the members and connections using ASCE 8-90, ASCE 7-88, and Design Guide 24. In all cases, the additional checks satisfy the code requirements.
Justification for Non-safety - Quality (NSQ) Basket Design:
As a result of this modification, baskets are designed to hold the NaTB buffering agent and are to be placed in the Containment basement. The NaTB buffering agent, which is procured as Safety Related due to its function of providing pH control for the containment sump and to retain radioactive iodine in solution, can perform its design function without the presence of the baskets. Therefore, the purpose of the baskets is to contain the NaTB buffering agent. A failure modes and effects analysis was performed to demonstrate credible failure of the basket does not impede the NaTB buffering agent from performing its design function. Any buffering agent that was to escape from the basket would improve the dissolution rate.
DNES-AA-MEL-4001, "Determining the Safety Classification of Structures, Systems, and Components," has been reviewed to determine the safety classification of the baskets. Per DNES-AA-MEL-4001, Attachment 2, Code 5.2.6 and 5.2.26a, the baskets are classified as Non-safety Quality (NSQ) (i.e., components that are not safety related but have special quality/regulatory requirements). Code 5.2.6 is defined as, "Components that are NOT functionally safety related, but that are required to be seismically restrained, supported or anchored to prevent damage to nearby safety
Page 11 of 12 Serial No. 21-138A Docket Nos. 50-280/281 Enclosure
related equipment." NSQ Code 5.2.26a is defined as, "Those components, systems, and structures that are NOT safety-related, but which are designed and installed as seismically qualified to ensure the required level of functionality during and/or after a DBE [Design Basis Event]. This definition includes components that are required to remain functional (i.e., some or all of their active and/or passive functions must remain intact) during and/or after a DBE. This requirement may be the result of a SAR/licensing commitment or just the desire to achieve enhanced reliability. This includes "active" components that must remain fully operational, as well as "active" and "passive" components that only have to maintain system pressure boundary." Per DNES-AA-MEL-4001, a Design Basis Event (DBE) includes the following: normal operation, anticipated operational occurrences/transients, design basis accidents, external events, and natural phenomena. Therefore, the baskets are designed to meet Seismic 11/1 requirements. Additionally, the baskets are designed to maintain their structural integrity during a DBE.
NRC Request No. 12
A discussion on the high energy lines in the vicinity of the baskets, and how the baskets are protected from HELB effects (jet impingement and pipe whip) is not included.
Dominion Energy Virginia Response
To ensure the NaTB baskets are not adversely affected or adversely affect the containment sump strainers, the planned installation locations for the NaTB baskets have been chosen to avoid placement in areas that could be affected by HELB effects in the containment basement. Protection against the effects of blowdown jet forces and pipe whip resulting from a postulated pipe rupture of the Reactor Coolant, Pressurizer, Main Steam, and Feedwater System piping is provided by a combination of distance, restraints, and barriers. Specifically, high energy piping is protected / isolated by missile barriers and restrained to limit pipe whip. The baskets located in the containment annulus area are protected by the crane wall. Baskets that are not protected by the crane wall are located so that the impingement pressure from an HELB would not affect the baskets such that the ability of the Na TB buffer to perform its design function would be impeded based on the zone of influence (ZOI) radius. Therefore, the baskets are sufficiently protected from the effects of HELBs through the use of barriers, restraints, and distance.

CHAPTER 6 ENGINEERED SAFEGUARDS
6.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Note: As required by the Renewed Operating icenses for Surry Units 1 and 2, issued March 20, 2003, various system struct ur es, and components discussed within this chapter are subject to aging management. The programs and activities necessary t manage the aging of these systems, structures, and components are dlscu sed in hapter 18.
The eng.ineered safeguards, together with the containment ( hapter 5), protect the public and the stat ion in the event of the design-basis accident, as defined in ect ion s 14.5.1.2 and 14.5.5. The engineered afeguards are design d to minimize the acc id ent by performing the fol low in g three functions:
- 1. Supply borated water to the reactor coo lant system t cool the core, decrease reactivity, Jim it fuel rod c laddin g temperat ur e, limit the metal-water reaction, and ens ur e that the core remains intact.
- 2. L imit the driving p tential, including differential pressure and time duration, for leakage out of the containment structure.
- 3. Reduce the concentration of airborne fission products avai lab le for leakage.
The first function is satisfied by the timely, continuous, and adequate supp ly of borated water to the r actor coolant system and the reactor core. he second function is satisfied by the provision of heat sinks for the condensation of steam released in side the containment, the inherent depressmization of the containment below atmospheric pressure following the de ign-basis accident, and means for maintaining th c ntainment at subatmospheric condition for an extended period of time. The third function is satisfied by provi.ding chemical additiv (NaO.E )
to the containmen to enhance the spray removal of radioactive iodine f*
INSERT and
- 1. A safety inj ection system (
reactor coolant loops.
- 2. Two separate low-head safety injection sub ystems, eithe r of which provides long-term removal of decay heat from the reactor core.
- 3. Two sepatate subsystems of the spray system (containment spray and recirculation spray) that operate together to reduce the containment temperature, return the containment pressure to subatmospheric, and remove heat from the containment. The recirculation spray sub sy tern maintain the containment subatmo pheric and transfers heat from the containment to the service water system (Section 9.9).

A composite schematic diagram of the engineered safeguards systems is h wn in Figures 6. 1-1 and 6.1 -2 fi r Units l and 2 *e p ct iv ely.
The safety injection system provides for the charging of borated water to the reactor coolant system from the accumulators following a LO A. The three accumulators are se lf-contained and are designed to supply water as soon as the reactor c olant system pres ure drops below 600 psig.
Additional makeup to the reactor coolant system is provided by the charging pumps, operating in the safety inject ion mode, and the low-head safety injection pumps. Bot h the charging and low-head safety injection pumps a re lo cated out ide the containment, are driven by an electr ic motor, are capable of being rapidly energized or operated, and are powered from the emergency power buses. The pumps also ensure an adequate supply of borated water for an extended period of time by recircu.lating water from the containm ent sump to the reactor core through two separate flow paths.
The containment spray subsystem supplies chilled borated water to the conta inm ent immediately following the receipt of the safeguards initiation signa l. This ubsystem includes two full-capacity, e lectric-motor-driven containment spray pumps that are located outside the containment and are supp li ed with power from the emergency buse. The containment spray pumps supply chilled water from the refueling water storage tank to the containment. E ither pump is capable of furnishing sufficient spray water to prevent overpressurizing the conta inm ent strncture. A chemical addition tank is balanced hydraulically with the refueling water storage tank...------,
and provides a flow of sodium hydroxide solution to increase the alka linity of the containment INSERT spray and recirculated pray to ensure effective removal of radioactive iodine
The recirculation spray subsystem recirculates water from the containment sumps
- rough service-water-cooled recirculation spray heat exchangers to the recirculation spray headers. Two of the four 50% design capacity, motor-driven recirculation pray pumps are located outside the containment. All four of the rec irculat ion spray coo lers are located in ide the containment and transfer conta inm ent heat to the service water system ( ection 9.9).
The containment spray and reci rcul ation spray subsyste s arc capab le of reducing the containment pressure to subatmo pheric in less than 60 minute, thu terminat in g all out leakage to the environment. Thi origin a l design criterion was modifie in conjunction with the analyses for implementation f the a lt ernativ e o urce term.

od ium hydroxide is normally stored for many i ndustria l applications in atmo pheric-vented tanks. Reaction of so dium hydroxide with atmospheric carbon dioxide to form a large precip itate does not occur. However, to e limin ate particulate matter from any p tential source, the containment spray subsy tern includes a, tra in e r on the suction side of the conta inm ent spray pumps. This strainer will have openings sma ll er than the mallest spray nozz les, and therefore wil l remove any particulate matter from the containment spray flow that might prevent the system from functioning.
To illustrate the remoteness of a 0 2 + NaOH reaction, calculations were made based on the following assumpti ns:
J. The tank temperature varies from 35° to 95°F each day, causing the tank to breath
- 2. All 2 entering the tanl reacts with the caustic.
The ca lculation indicate that this process must continue for 90 years to react with 1 % of the stored caustic. Thi reaction would n t cause a precipitate to form.
Based on past perating experience and ca lculational results, a sod ium carbonate precipitate cannot form; therefore the functloning of the system wi II not be impaired because of precipitation.

Prior to unit operation, the wat 1* in the refueling water storage tank is co led to a temperature of sl ight ly below 45 °F by either circu lating the water through a heat exchanger that use chi ll ed water from the chi I led water subsystem of the c mponent cooling system
( ec ti on 9.4 ) o r by using mechanical refrigeration units. M chanica l refrigeration units then maintain the tank water below 45°F. The tank is insulated. The refueling water storage tank also has a.nozz le connection that supp li es water to the safety injection system ( e t ion 6.2).
The refueling water s torage tank (RW T) is a pas ive component and is required on ly during a sh rt period follow in g an accident. It is prov id ed with four channels of level indication, which provide s ignals to level indicators. The leve l indication range for t he RWST is app ro ximately 14,000 ga ll ons at 0% level to approx ima te ly 399,000 gallons at 100% level. The RW Tis maintained at greater than 387 100 gallons of borated water at or below a temperatur of 45°F during normal plant power operations. Level transmitters prnvide input to a low level a larm and an empty a larm when R WST level drops below thes respective sctpo in ts. When two of fou r channels have sensed a low RW T level condition> an interlock signa l is generated to allow for the tart of the TR and ORS pumps on a H.i-Hi Actuation. Additionally, when two of four channe ls have sensed a low-low RW T level condition, a ignal is generated to re align safety injection to the recirculation mode automatica lly. It takes approximate ly three minutes to realign the valves from inj ction to recirculation mode. The I ey values for the RW T as urned in the safety analysis are presented in Ta bl e 5.4-17.

a_ These circuits have features that cou ld prevent immediate operation of the component when the engineered safeguards signal is actuated. Such features are a necessary part of the circuit (such as a limit switch), or they require conscious effort by an operator to prevent operation (such as manipulation of a pushbutton or a selector switch ). A valve limit switch could act to delay safeguards - initiated operation if the valve was in mid-travel and had to complete the travel sequence before operating in response to the safeguards signal. A pushbutton or selector switch held in the actuated position gives the operators an option, in some cases, of delaying component response to an emergency safeguards signals.

CHAPTER6 ENGINEEREDSAFEGUARDS
6.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Note: A required by the Renewed Operating Licenses for urry Units 1 and 2, issued March 20, 2003, various systems, structures, and components discussed within this chapter are subject to aging management. The programs and activities necessary to manage the aging of these systems, structures, and components are discussed in C h ap te r 18.
The engineered afeguards, t gether with the containment ( ha pt er 5), protect the public and the station in the event of the design-basis accident, as defined in Sections 14.5. 1.2 and 14.5. 5. The engineered safeguards are designed to minimize the accident by performing the fo ll owing three functions:
I. Supply borated water to the reactor coolant system to cool the core, decrease reactivity, limit fuel rod c ladding temperatures, limit the metal-water reaction, and ensure that the core remains intact.
- 2. Limit the driving potential, including differential pressure and time duration, for leakage out of the containment trncture.
3. Reduce the concentrat ion of airborne fission products available for leakage.
The first function i satisfied by the timely, c nlinuous, a nd adequate supply of borated water to the reactor coo lan t system and the reactor core. The second function is satisfied by the provision of heat sin I s for the condensation of steam released inside the containment, the inherent depressurization of the containment below atmospheric pre sure following the design-basis accident, and means for maintaining the containment at subatmo pheric conditions for an
L------...::---' extended eriod of time. The third function is atisfied b rovidin chemica l additiv (NaOH)
- 1. A safety inj ection system (
reactor coo lant loops.
2. wo separate low-head safety injection subsystems, either of which provides long-term removal of decay heat from the reactor core.
- 3. Two eparate ubsystems of the spray system (containment spray and recirculation spray) that operate together to reduce the containment temperature, return the containment pre ure to subatmospheric, and remove heat from the contairunent. The recirculati n spray subsystem maintains the containment subatm pheric and tran fers heat from the containment to the service water system ( ec ti o n 9. 9).

A compo ite chematic diagrnrn of the engineered safeguards systems is shown in Figu re 6. 1-1 and 6. 1-2 for Units 1 and 2, respectively.
The safety inj ction ystem. provides for the charging of borated water to the reactor coolant sy tern from the accumu lators following a LO A. The three accumulators are self-contained and arc de igncd to supply water as oon a the reactor coolant system pressure drops below 600 psig.
Additional makeup to the reactor coolant system i prov id ed by the charging pumps, operating in the safety injection mode, and the low-head afety injecti n pumps. Both the charging and low-head safety injection pump
- are I cated utside the containment, are driven by an e lectric mot r, are capable of b ing rapidly energized or op rated, and are powered from the emergency power buses. The pumps a lso ensure an adequate supply of borated water for an extended peri d of t im e by recirculating water from the containment sump to the react r co r through two separnte flow paths.
The containment spray subsystem supplies ch illed borated water to the containment immediately following the receipt of t he safeguards initiation signal. Th is ubsystem includes two full-capacity, e lc ctric-m tor-driven containm nt pray pump that are located outside the containment and are. uppl ied with power from the emergency buses.

The th ree combinations (Bars A, B, and ) represent degraded cases with operation of les than the installed emergency core cooling equipment. The e cases are shown only to present the capabi lit y of individual portions of the system and to demonstrate the overa ll margins of the system. The ope rat ion of one safety injection charging pump together with two accumulators is probably capab le of provid in g protection over a considerably greater range than shown. However, the analys is has on ly considered breaks up to the 8-inch diameter.
Bar D, which is th comb in at ion of the safety equipment in Bars B and, and which also repr ents the minimum engineered safeguards available automatically, provides protection as shown over the comp lete range of break sizes up to and including the comp lete circumferential fracture of a reactor coolant pipe.
For the sma ll range of break sizes up to 2 inches, a shown in Ba r A the act ion of one safety injection charging pump acting alone i s ufficient to mainta in enough core water inventory to ensure continued core cooling.
6.2.3.2 Borated Water Injection Chemistry During the inj ection of emel'gency coo li ng water into the reactor coo lant system fol low in g a LO A, the concentration of bornn wi ll vary depending on the depressurization hi story of the reactor. Tf depressuri zat ion were s low, the high-head pump would inject boric acid at a concentration greater than 2300 ppm, which would be diluted by the coolant remaining in the system. Rapid depl' suri zat ion would bring about early injection of water containing boric acid at a co nc ent rati on greater than 2250 ppm from the accumulators. Wh en recirculation begin, the average concentration of boric acid is (and wi.11 remain) at a concentration that will maintain the core suberitical.
The concentrations of other materials, including chlorides, are quite low in this so lution, corros ion products being generally insoluble in a basic so luti n. Assuming 50% of the maximum core inventory i released t c ntainment after a LO A, the principal fission product in the sump (assuming a gro score fa ilure) would be iodine at a range between approximately 1.6 to I. ppm for 500 day of operation and approximately 3.0 to 3.6 ppm for 1000 days fop ration.

Jn crt B odium hydroxide i l1 nnally stored for many industrial applications in atm spheric-vented tanks. Reaction of sodium hydroxide with atmospheric carbon dioxide to form a large precipitate docs not occur. However, to eliminate particulate matter from any potential source, the containment spray subsystem include, a strainer on the suction side of the containment spray pumps. This strainer will have openings smaller than the smallest spray nozzles, and therefore will remove any particulate matter from the containment spray flow that might prevent the system from functioning.
T illu trate the remoteness of a CO 2 + Na H reaction, calculations were made based n the foll wing as umptions:
I. The tank temperature varies from 35° to 95°F each day, cau ing the tan! t breathe.
- 2. Al l CO 2 entering the tank react with the cau tic.
The al cu lations indicate that this process must continue for 90 years to react with I% of the stored caustic. This reaction would not cause a precipitate to :B rm.

The refu ling water storage tank (RW ) is a passive component and is required on ly during a short period fo llowing an accident. It is provided with four channe ls f level indication, which provide signals to level indicat r,. The level ind ication range for the RWST is approximately J 4,000 gall ns at 0% leve l to approximately 399,000 gallons at 100% level. The RW Ti maintained at greater than 387, l 00 ga ll ons of borated water at or be low a temperature of 45°F during normal p lant power operations. Leve l transmitters provide input to a low level a larm and an empty a larm when RW T level drops below these respective setpoint. When tw of ti ur channels have sensed a low R WST level condition, an interlock ignal i generated to a ll ow for the start of the IR and OR pumps on a L I-E-Hi Actuat ion. Additional ly, when two of four channe ls have s nse d a low-low R W level condition, a signa l is generated to realign afety injection to the recirculation mode automatically. It takes approximately three minute to r align the va lves from injection to recircu lation mode. The key value fo r th RW T assumed in the safety analysis are presented in Tab le 5.4-17. The safet ana l sis values are conservative with respect to plant operation.
The chemical addition ta nk 1s r storage tan. e normal operating capacity of the AT, including in trument uncertainties, is greater than the minimum AT vo l ume of 3800 gallons assumed in the afcty ana ly is. Flow f the sodium hydrox ide so l ution is from the chemical addition tank directly to the containment pray pump suction v ia a caustic add ition line. This flow path pr vides for a reduced caustic trans it time and introduces the caustic at an es ntially on tant rate. The con tant add ition rate Rrovides for a more constant pray pH during the variou modes of afeguards system operatio INSERT
A line fr m the chemica l addition tank circu lat ing pump is installed to permit periodic c irculation of caustic solution in the pip ing and maintain the capability of recircu lating th chem ical addition tank. IN SER T
The chemica l addition tank 1s msu a e an t e recirculation line is electrically heat traced to keep the tank and recirculation line c ntent at a temperature well above the freezing point of the chemical spray elution. The chem ical add ition tank has a low-temperature a larm set at 35°F.
The containment spray pumps are capab le of upplying approximately 3200 gpm of borated water to two eparate circular containment spray r ing headers located approximately 96 feet above the operat ing floor in the dome of the containment structure and the common crane wall Revision 51.05-Update

- a. These circuits have features that could prevent immediate operation of the component when the engineered safeguards signal is actuated. Such features are a necessary part of the circuit (such as a limit switch), or they req_uire conscious effort by an operator to prevent operation (such as manipulation of a pushbutton or a selector switch). A valve limit switch could act to delay safeguards-initiated operation if the valve was in mid - travel and had to complete the travel sequence before operating in response to the safeguards signal. A pushbutton or selector switch held in the actuated position gives the operators an option, in some cases, of delaying component response to an emergency safeguards signals.
