| | The power operated relief valves (PORVs)operate to relieve RCS pressure below the setting of the pressurizer code safety valves.These relief valves have remotely operated block valves to provide a positive shutoff capability should a relief valve become inoper-able.The electrical power for both the relief valves and the block valves is capable of being supplied from an emergency power source to ensure the ability to seal this possible RCS leakage path.The requirement that 100 kw of pressurizer heaters and their associated controls be capable of being supplied electrical power from an emergency bus provides assurance that these heaters can be energized during''oss of offsite power condition to maintain natural circulation at hot shutdown and during 3.1-4e Amendment No.gP, gg, PROPOSED cooldown.The pressurizer low level limit of 10.6%is" the (3)level below which the heaters are de-energized to prevent damage.References (1)FSAR Section 14.1.6 (2)FSAR Section 7.2.3 (3)Letter from L.D.White, Jr.to D.L.Ziemann, USNRC, dated October 17, 1979 3.1-4f PROPOSED TABLE 3.5-1 INSTRUMENT OPERATION CONDITIONS Page 1 of 2 NO.FUNCTIONAL UNIT NO.of MIN.MIN.NO.of CHANNELS OPERABLE DEGREE OF CHANNELS TO TRIP***CHANNELS'REDUNDANCY PERMISSIBLE BYPASS CGNDITIONS 6 OPERATOR ACTION IF CONDITIONS OF COLUMN 3 OR 5 CANNOT BE MET 1.Manual 2.Nuclear Flux Power Range low setting high setting 3.Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range 2 2 2 of 4 pawer range channels greater than 8%F.P.(law setting only)2 of 4 power range channels greater than 8%F.P.Maintain hot shutdawn Maintain hot shutdawn Maintain hot shutdawn.Note 1 4.Nuclear Flux Source Range 5.Overtemperature T 1 of 2 intermediate Maintain hot range chygnels greater shutdown.Note than 10 amps.=1 Maintain hot shutdown 6.Overpawer-T C Os 7 OQ M g U~8.Hi Pressurizer Pressure Zaw Pressurizer Pressure Maintain hot shutdawn Maintain hot shutdown Maintain hot shutdown Pressurizer-Hi Water Level Maintain hot shutdawn Law Flow in one loop (>50%F.P.)Low Flow both loops (10-50%F.P.)3/loop 2/loop (any loop)3/loop 2/loop (any loop)Maintain hot shutdown Maintain hot shutdown Attachment B The current specification on pressurizer water level states that the pressurizer level shall be maintained between 12 and 87%.The upper limit is based on a high level trip setpoint with sufficient margin to account for reference leg heatup.There is no basis for the 12%lower limit.Since low pressurizer heaters are de-energized at 10.6%, a more appropriate value would be 10.6%.The P-10 permissive allows manual blocking of the inter-mediate range rod stop, the intermediate range high flux trip, and low setpoint of the power range high flux trip above 10%power.These trips are used to mitigate the consequences of a rod with-drawal transient from subcritical. |
| Ifnoresidualheatwereremovedbyanyofthemeansavailable, theamountofsteamwhichcouldbegenerated atsafetyvalvereliefpressurewouldbelessthanhalfthevalves'apacity.
| | The proposed Technical Specification change would allow the above trips to be bypassed (blocked)at 8%power.This change is necessary because P-7 permissive is required at 8.5%power.Since one of the inputs to P-7 comes from the same power range bistable that supplies P-10, P-10 must be actuated at 8%power to satisfy'.the requirements for P-7.P-7 automatically unblocks the follow-.ing reactor trips: 2 loop low flow, reactor coolant pump bus undervoltage, reactor coolant pump bus underfrequency, pressurizer low pressure, and turbine trip with P-9.These trips are associated with the 130 MW which is the upper limit of heat removal while on natural circulation. |
| Onevalve,therefore, providesadequatedefenseagainstoverpressurization.
| | The only transient analysis which uses this trip is a slow rod withdrawal.(Boron dilution is bounded by the slow rod withdrawal.) |

| | The only effect of reducing P-10 to 8%would be that a rod withdrawal accident (RWA)starting from 8%would be terminated by high flux and overtemperature T versus the intermediate and reduced high power trips.An evaluation performed on the RWA starting from 8%and 10%for various reactivity insertion rates shows approximately the same DNBR when the RWA is initiated from 8%versus 10%power.Further, there is substantial margin between the DNBR for a RWA from 10%and the limiting RWA from 100%power.The DNBR for a RWA starting from 8%will also be greater than the DNBR for the limiting RWA started from 100%power.Therefore, reducing P-10 to 8%has negligible effect on the Ginna Safety Analysis and the minimum DNBR for all..RWAs is unchanged. |

"".PDR 3.1.1.5 Pressurizer Whenever the reactor is at hot shutdown or critical the pressurizer shall have at least 100 kw of heaters operable and a water level maintained between 10.6%and 87%of level span.If the pressurizer is inoperable due to heater or water level, restore the pressurizer to operable status within 6 hrs.or have the RHR system in operation within an additional 6 hrs.,Bases: The plant is designed to operate with all reactor coolant loops in operation and maintain the DNBR above 1.30 during all normal 3.1-4b Change No.gg Amendment No.gP, gg, jfg>PROPOSED Temperature requirements for the steam generator correspond with measured NDT for the shell and allowable thermal stresses in the tube sheet.Each of the pressurizer code safety valves is designed to relieve 288,000 lbs.per hr.of saturated steam at the valve setpoint.Below 350 F and 350 psig in the reactor coolant system, the 0 residual heat removal system can remove decay heat and thereby II control syst'm temperature and pressure.If no residual heat were removed by any of the means available, the amount of steam which could be generated at safety valve relief pressure would be less than half the valves'apacity.
One valve, therefore, provides adequate defense against overpressurization.
The power operated relief valves (PORVs)operate to relieve RCS pressure below the setting of the pressurizer code safety valves.These relief valves have remotely operated block valves to provide a positive shutoff capability should a relief valve become inoper-able.The electrical power for both the relief valves and the block valves is capable of being supplied from an emergency power source to ensure the ability to seal this possible RCS leakage path.The requirement that 100 kw of pressurizer heaters and their associated controls be capable of being supplied electrical power from an emergency bus provides assurance that these heaters can be energized duringoss of offsite power condition to maintain natural circulation at hot shutdown and during 3.1-4e Amendment No.gP, gg, PROPOSED cooldown.The pressurizer low level limit of 10.6%is" the (3)level below which the heaters are de-energized to prevent damage.References (1)FSAR Section 14.1.6 (2)FSAR Section 7.2.3 (3)Letter from L.D.White, Jr.to D.L.Ziemann, USNRC, dated October 17, 1979 3.1-4f PROPOSED TABLE 3.5-1 INSTRUMENT OPERATION CONDITIONS Page 1 of 2 NO.FUNCTIONAL UNIT NO.of MIN.MIN.NO.of CHANNELS OPERABLE DEGREE OF CHANNELS TO TRIP***CHANNELS'REDUNDANCY PERMISSIBLE BYPASS CGNDITIONS 6 OPERATOR ACTION IF CONDITIONS OF COLUMN 3 OR 5 CANNOT BE MET 1.Manual 2.Nuclear Flux Power Range low setting high setting 3.Nuclear Flux Intermediate Range 2 2 2 of 4 pawer range channels greater than 8%F.P.(law setting only)2 of 4 power range channels greater than 8%F.P.Maintain hot shutdawn Maintain hot shutdawn Maintain hot shutdawn.Note 1 4.Nuclear Flux Source Range 5.Overtemperature T 1 of 2 intermediate Maintain hot range chygnels greater shutdown.Note than 10 amps.=1 Maintain hot shutdown 6.Overpawer-T C Os 7 OQ M g U~8.Hi Pressurizer Pressure Zaw Pressurizer Pressure Maintain hot shutdawn Maintain hot shutdown Maintain hot shutdown Pressurizer-Hi Water Level Maintain hot shutdawn Law Flow in one loop (>50%F.P.)Low Flow both loops (10-50%F.P.)3/loop 2/loop (any loop)3/loop 2/loop (any loop)Maintain hot shutdown Maintain hot shutdown Attachment B The current specification on pressurizer water level states that the pressurizer level shall be maintained between 12 and 87%.The upper limit is based on a high level trip setpoint with sufficient margin to account for reference leg heatup.There is no basis for the 12%lower limit.Since low pressurizer heaters are de-energized at 10.6%, a more appropriate value would be 10.6%.The P-10 permissive allows manual blocking of the inter-mediate range rod stop, the intermediate range high flux trip, and low setpoint of the power range high flux trip above 10%power.These trips are used to mitigate the consequences of a rod with-drawal transient from subcritical.
The proposed Technical Specification change would allow the above trips to be bypassed (blocked)at 8%power.This change is necessary because P-7 permissive is required at 8.5%power.Since one of the inputs to P-7 comes from the same power range bistable that supplies P-10, P-10 must be actuated at 8%power to satisfy'.the requirements for P-7.P-7 automatically unblocks the follow-.ing reactor trips: 2 loop low flow, reactor coolant pump bus undervoltage, reactor coolant pump bus underfrequency, pressurizer low pressure, and turbine trip with P-9.These trips are associated with the 130 MW which is the upper limit of heat removal while on natural circulation.
The only transient analysis which uses this trip is a slow rod withdrawal.(Boron dilution is bounded by the slow rod withdrawal.)
The only effect of reducing P-10 to 8%would be that a rod withdrawal accident (RWA)starting from 8%would be terminated by high flux and overtemperature T versus the intermediate and reduced high power trips.An evaluation performed on the RWA starting from 8%and 10%for various reactivity insertion rates shows approximately the same DNBR when the RWA is initiated from 8%versus 10%power.Further, there is substantial margin between the DNBR for a RWA from 10%and the limiting RWA from 100%power.The DNBR for a RWA starting from 8%will also be greater than the DNBR for the limiting RWA started from 100%power.Therefore, reducing P-10 to 8%has negligible effect on the Ginna Safety Analysis and the minimum DNBR for all..RWAs is unchanged.
Attachment C In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, these changes to the Technical Specifications have been evaluated against three criteria to determine if the operation of the fac'ility in accordance with the proposed amendment would: l.involve a significant, increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or 2.create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or 3.involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.As outlined below, Rochester Gas and Electric submits that the issues associated with this amendment request are outside the criteria of 10 CFR 50.91, and therefore, a no significant hazards finding is warranted.
The proposed change would reduce the lower pressurizer level'.limit from 12 to 10.6%.This does not increase the probability o'consequences of an accident.This does not create a new or different accident.This does not reduce a safety margin.The proposed change also reduces the P-10 setpoint from 10 to 8%.The evaluation done shows that for the limiting accidents, the safety margin is not significantly reduced.This change does not increase the probability or consequences of an accident.This changes does not create a new or different accident.Therefore, a no significant hazards finding is warranted for the proposed changes.
