, REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM 3/4.4.6 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.4.6.1 The reactor coolant system temperature and pressure shall be limited in accordance with the limit lines shown on (1) Figure 3.4.6.1-1 for heatup by non-nuclear means, cooldown following a nuclear shutdown, and low power PHYSICS TESTSi (2) Figure 3.4.6.1-2 for operations with a critical core other than low power PHYSICS TESTS or when the reactor vessel is vented; and (3) Figures 3.4.6.1-34, 3.4.6.1-3b, or 3.4.6.1-3c, as applicable for inservice hydrostatic or leak testing, with a.

A maximum heatup of 100'F in any one-hour parlod, except for inservice hydrostatic or leak testing at which time the maximum heatup shall not exceed 30'F in any one-hour period.

b.

A maximum cooldown of 100'F in any one-hour period except for inservice hydrostatic or leak testing at which time maximum cooldown shall not exceed 30'F in any one-hour period.

c.

A maximum temperature change limited to 10*F in any one-hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heacup and cooldown limit curves, and d.

The reactor vessel flange and head flange temperatures greater than or equal to 70*F when raaetor vessel head bolting studs are under tension.

APPLICABILITY: At all times.

ACTION:

With any of the above limits exceeded, restore the temperature and/or pressure to within the limits within 30 minutest perform an engineering evaluation to determine the ef fects of the out-of-limit condition on the fracture toughness properties of the reactor coolant systems determine that the system remains j

acceptable for continued operations, or be in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) 4.4.6.1.2 The reactor coolant system temperature and pressure shall be l

determined to be to the right of the criticality limit line cf Figure 3.4.6.1-2 within 15 minutes prior to the withdrawal of control rods to bring the reactor to criticality.

4.4.6.1.3 The reactor material irradiation surveillance specimens shall be removed and examined to determine changes in material properties at the intervals shown in Table 4.4.6.1.3-1.

The results of these examinations shall be used to update Figures 3.4.6.1-1, 3.4.6.1-2, 3.4.6.1-34, 3.4.6.1-3b, and 3.4.6.1-3c, as applicable. The cumulative effective full power years shall be determined at least once per 18 months.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that concentrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action.

3/4.4.5 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the primary ecol 4it ensure that the 2-hour thyroid and whole body doses resulting from a main steam line frilure outside the containment during steady state operation will not exceed small fractions of the dose guidelines of 10 CFR 100.

Permitting operation to continue for limited time periods with higher specific activity levels accommodates short-term iodine spikes which may be associated with power level changes, and is based on the fact that a steam line failure during these short time periods is considerably less likely. Operation at the higher activity levels, therefore, is restricted to a small fraction of the unit's total operating time. The upper limit of coolant iodine concentration during short-term iodine spikes ensures that the thyroid dose from a steam line failure will not exceed 10 CFR Part 100 dose guidelines.

t Information obtained on iodine spiking will be used to assess the parameters associated with spiking phenomena.

A reduction in frequency of isotopic analysis following power changes may be permissible if justified by the data obtained.

Closing the main steam line isolai;on valves prevents t.ne release of activity to the environs should the steam line rupture occur. The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific l

sativity levels in the reactor coolant will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action.

3/4.4.6 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS All components in the Reactor Coolant System are designed to withstand the effects of cyclic loads due to system temperature and pressure changes. These cyclic loads are introduced by normal load transients, reactor trips, and start-up and shutdown operations.

The various categories of load cycles used for design purposes are provided in Section 4.2 of the FSAR. During start-up and shutdown, the rates of temperature and pressure changes are limited so

[

that the maximum specified heatup and cooldown rates are consistent with the i

design assumptions and satisfy the stress limits for cyclic operation.

i l

. During heatup, the thermal gradients in the reactor vessel wall produce t

thermal stresses which vary from compressive at the inner wall to tensile at the outer wall. Thermal-induced compressive stresses tend to alleviate the

[

tensile stresses induced by the internal pressure.

During cooldown, thermal gradients to be accounted for are tensile at the inner wall and compressive at the outer wall.

operation and resultant fast neutron, E>l Mev, fluence will cause an increase in the RT Therefore, an adjusted reference temperature, based upon the NDT.

fluence can be predicted using the proper revision of Regulatory Guide 1.99.

The pressure / temperature limit curves Figures 3.4.6.1-1, 3.4.6.1-2, and 3.4.6.1-3a through 3.4.6.1-3c include predicted adjustments for this shift in RTNDT at the end of indicated EFPY, as well as adjustments to account for the location of the pressure-sensing instruments.

The actual shift in RTtiDT of the vessel material will be checked periodically during operation by removing and evaluating. in accordance with ASTM E185-82, reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens installed near the inside wall of the reactor vessel in the core area.

Since the neutron spectra at the irradiation sapples and vessel inside radius vary little, the measured transition shift for a sample can be adjusted with confidence to the adjacent section of the reactor vessel.

The pressure / temperature limit lines shown in Figures 3.4.6.1-1, 3.4.6.1-2, and 3.4.6.1-3a through 3.4.6.1-3c have been provided to assure compliance with the minimum temperature requirements of the 1983 revision to Appendix C of 10CFR50. The conservative method of the Standard Review Plan has been used for heatup and cooldown.

The number of reactor vessel irradiation surveillance specimens and the frequencies for removing and testing these specimens are provided in Table 4.4.6.1.3-1 to assure compliance with the requirements of ASTM E185-82.

(BSEP-2-135) o REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that concentrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action.

3/4.4.5 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the primary coolant ensure that the 2-hour thyroid and whole body doses resulting from a main steam line failure outside the containment during ste:dy state operation will not exceed small fractions of the dose guidelines in 10CFR 100.

Permitting operation to continue for limited time periods with higher specitic activity levels accommodates short-term iodine spikes which may be associated with power level changes, and is based on the fact that a steam line failure during these short time periods is considerably less likely. Operation at the higher activity levels, therefore, is restric'.ed to a small fraction of the unit's total operating time. The upper limit of coolant iodine concentration during short-term iodine spikes ensures that the thyriod dose from a sesam line failure will not exceed 10 CFR Part 100 dose guidelines.

Information obtained on iodine spiking will be used to assess the parameters associated with spiking phenomena. A reduction in frequency of isotopic analysis following power changes may be permissible, if justified by the data obtained.

Closing the main steam line isolation valves prevents the release of activity to the environs should the steam line rupture occur. The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that excessive specific activity levels in the reactor coolant will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action.

3/4.4.6 PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE LIMITS All components in the Reactor Coolant System are designed to withstand the effects of cyclic loads due to system temperature and pressure chr.nges. These cyclic loads are introduced by normal load transients, reactor trips, and start-up and shutdown operations. The various categories of load cycles used for design purposes are provided in Section 4.2 of the FSAR.

During start-up and shutdown, the rates of temperature and pressure changes are limited so that the maximum specified heatup and cooldown rates are consistent with the design assumptions and satisfy the stress limits for cyclic operation.

During heatup, the thermal gradients in the reactor vessel wall produce thermal stresses which vary from compressive at the inner wall to tensile at the outer wall. Thermally induced compressive stresses tend to alleviate the tensile stresses induced by the internal pressure. During cooldown, thermal gradients tc be accounted for are tensile at the inner wall and compressive at the outer wall.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES PRESSURE / TEMPERATURE I.IMITS (Continued)

The reactor vessel materials have been tested to determine their initial RTNDT. The results of these tests are shown in GE NEDO 24161.

Reactor operation and resultant fast neutron, E)1 Mev, fluence will cause an increase in the RT Therefore, an adjusted reference temperature, based upon the NDT.

fluence can be predicted using the proper revision of Regulatory Culde 1.99.

The pressure / temperature limit curves Figures 3.4.6.1-1, 3.4.6.1-2, and 3.4.6.1-32 through 3.4.6.1-3c include predicted adjustments for this shift in RTNDT at the end of indicated EFPY, as well as adjustments to account for the location of the pressure-sensing instruments.

The actual shift in RTNDT of the vessel material will be checked periodically during operation by removing and evaluating, in accordance with ASTM E185-82, reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens installed near the inside wall of the reactor vessel in the core area. Since the neutron spectra at little, the measured transition shift for a sample can be adjusted withthe ir confidence to the adjacent section of the reactor vessel.

The pressure /temperaturc limit lines shown in Figures 3.4.6.1-1, 3.4.6.1-2, and 3.4.6.1-3a through 3.4.6.1-3c have been provided to assure compliance with the minimum temperature requirements of the 1983 revision to Appendix C of 10CFa50.

The conservative method of the Standard Review Plan has been used for heatup and cooldown.

The number of reactor vessel irradiation surveillance specimens and the frequencies for removing and testing these specimens are provided in Table 4.4.6.1.3-1 to assure compliance with the requirements of ASTM E185-82.
