With the RCS temper'ature below 200'F, one injection system is acceptable i without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity  !

condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.

I I

The boron capability required below 200'F, is sufficient to provide a I EHUT00WN MARGIN of 1% delta k/k after xenon decay and cooldown'from 200*F to 140 F.- This condition requires either 635 gallons of 20,000 ppm borated water

-from the boric acid storage tanks or 9,690 gallons of ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank.

ESoC)

The contained water volume limits include allowance for water not available

( because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics.

The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST.

also ensure a pH value of between 7,5 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated BRl I

within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimi.zes the evolution of

. iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caust'ic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.

The OPERABILITY of one boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.

3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES The specifications.of this section ensure that (1) acceptable power distri-bution limits are maintained, (2) the minimum SHUT 00WN MARGIN is maintained, and (3)' limit the potential effects of rod misalignment on associated accident analyses. OPERABILITY of the control rod position indicators is required to determine control rod positions and thereby ensure compliance with the control rod alignment' and insertion limits.

With the RCS temperature below 350*F, one OPERA 8LE ECCS subsystem is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements.

The Surveillance Requirements provided to ensurs OPERABILITY of each component ensures that at a minimum, the assumptions used in the safety analyses.

are met and that subsystem OPERABILITY is maintained. Surveillance requirements for throttle valve position stops and flow balance testing provide assurance that proper ECCS flows will be maintained in the event of a LOCA. Maintenance of proper flow resistance and pressure drop in the piping system to each injection point is necessary to: (1) prevent total pump flow from exceeding runout conditions when the system is in its minimum resistance configuration,.

(2) provide the proper flow split between injection points in accordance'with the assumptions-used in the ECCS-LOCA analyses, and (3) provide an acce'p table- --

level of total'ECCS flow to all injection points equal to or above that assumed in the ECCS-LOCA analyses.

-The OPERABILITY of the RWST as part of the ECCS ensures that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of  ;

a LOCA. The limits on RWST minimum volume and boron concentration ensure that- -

1) sufficient. water.is available within containment to permit recirculation '

cooling flow to the. core,-and 2) the reactor will remain subcritical in the- _

cold condition following mixing of the RWST and the RCS water volumes with all t

control rods inserted except for the most reactive control assembly. These ,

assumptions are consistent with the LOCA analyses.

The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics. .

The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST- g'f also ensure a pH value of between 7.5 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes-the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.

ENCLOSURE 2 i Description of Channe Tennessee Valley Authority proposes to modify the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) Units 1 and 2 technical specifications (TSs) to reflect the effects of the boron injection tank deactivation. The refueling water storage ,

tank boron concentration will be changed in Limiting Condition for l Operation (LCO) 3.1.2.5. The volume of the boric acid storage system and '

the boron concentration of the refueling water storage tank will be i changed in LCO 3.1.2.6. In Surveillance Requirement 4.5.2.g.2, the j reference to boron injection throttle valves will be changed to charging  !

pump injection throttle valves. TSs 3/4 5.4.1 and 3/4 5.4.2 for the boron j injection system are being deleted. LCO 3.5.1.1 will be revised with a i new boron concentration for the cold leg injection accumulators, and ,

LCO 3.5.5 will be revised with a new boron concentration for the refueling '

water storage tank. i l

Reason for Change The boron injection tank is a component of the safety injection system l whose sole function is_to provide concentrated boric acid to the reactor coolant to mitigate the consequences of postulated steamline break ,

accidents. In order to verify that the criteria for radiation releases I are met. TSs are applied to the boron injection tank and associated equipment. Specifically, the TSs currently ensure that the boric acid concentration is maintained in excess of 20,000 parts per million (ppm), I approximately a 12 weight percent solution. Heat tracing is necessary to j maintain the tank and associated piping at a sufficiently high temperature 'I so that the minimum concentration requirements may be met. Furthermore, the safety-related nature of the boric acid system requires that the  !

heating systems be redundant.

The required solubility temperature imposes a continuous load on the heeters, and the potential for low-temperature alarm actuation and heater burnout exists. Violation of the TS on concentration in the boron $

injection tank poses availability problems in that recovery is required '

within a very short time. If the concentration is not restored within one  ;

hour, the plant must be taken to the hot' standby condition and borated to the equivalent of 1 percent delta k/k at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, this requirement has a potentially serious impact on plant availability.

• In addition, the high boric acid concentration makes recovery from a t.

spurious safety injection signal (which results in injection of the boron

! injection tank fluid into the reactor coolant system) time consuming and costly. i These potential difficulties unfavorably affecting plant availability, operability, and maintainability can be drastically reduced in severity or eliminated by the boron injection tank deactivation.

l l

l 1

Justification for Channe The only accident analyses that are significantly affected by boron reduction, boron injection tank removal, or bypassing are the steamline break transients. These transients are affected with respect to both core

, integrity and mass and energy release to containment.

The following steamline break cases were considered in the core integrity analysis for SQN (1) " hypothetical" steamline break, with and without ,

offsite power available, for the largest double-ended rupture of a steam '

pipe upstream of the flow restrictor (4.6 square feet); (2) " hypothetical" steamline break, with and without offsite power available, for the largest double-ended rupture of a steampipe downstream of the flow restrictor- (1.4  :

square feet) and (3) " credible" steamline break, with offsite power available, for the largest single failed open steam generator relief, safety, or steam dump valve. (Both uniform and nonuniform cases were analyzedt uniform refers to an equal blowdown from all four steam i generators; and nonuniform refers to a blowdown from only one steam generator.)

For the hypothetical breaks, the same criteria were applied as are applied in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). That is, for the most severe Condition IV break, the analyses show that the radiation releases are '

within the raquirements of 10 CFR 100 by demonstrating that the departure from nucleate boiling design basis is met. The steamline break dose calculations performed for the FSAR use a conservative fuel failure level of one percent, although the core analyses show that no consequential fuel '

failures are anticipated.

The credible steamline break analysis was performed using a new criterion whereby the plant may return to criticality but no damage may occur to the fuel. This constitutes a relaxation of the conservative internal Westinghouse Electric Corporation criterion for Class II events. This relaxed criterion is in compliance with the criteria used by NRC, which require that releases during steamline break accidents remain within the >

limits set forth in 10 CFR 20. This limit is met with a return to criticality if it is assured that there is no consequential fuel damage. >

Tor SQN, the system was analyzed assuming that the boron injection tank remains installed, without heat tracing, and with the boric acid concentration reduced to zero ppm. This combination provides the most limiting case for the analyses. The analyses for the hypothetical casen show that the departure from nucleate boiling design basis is met, and that no consequential fuel failures are anticipated. The analysis for the credible break shows a return to criticality, but the departure from nucleate boiling design basis is met and no fuel failures are predicted.

l l

,o j

- s t

! The mass and energy analysis considered two cases: (1) large or ,

j double-ended steamline ruptures and (2) small or split steamline {

ruptures. The small break mass and energy calculations were proven to be ,

the limiting case because of the higher containment temperatures reached.

Assuming the boron injection tank remains installed, without heat tracing, l and with the boric acid concentration reduced to zero ppm, the  :

temperatures and pressures reached in the small break calculations fall  !

below the containment design limits. +

i Increasing the refueling water storage tank boron concentration is proposed to address the future need (beyond Cycle 4) for a boron i' concentration increase, which was identified when the Cycle 4 reload I safety evaluations were performed. In fact, the Unit 2 Cycle 4 reload '

l safety evaluation stipulated that the boron injection tank needed to remain in cperation during Cycle 4. For future fuel reloads, with or  ;

without. Vantage 5 Hybrid fuel, the boron concentration needs.to be increased to accommodate the higher enrichments resulting from extending i the fuel cycles (in the process of going from 12 to 18 months) and decreasing the number of fresh fuel assemblies (of the 193 total assemblies, instead of changing out 72 to 80 new assemblies, changing out 60 to 68).

In performing this evaluation, the strategy employed was to select the highest boron concentration possible that would accommodste the removal of the boron injection tank (approximately 55 ppm), accosanodate removal of .

upper head injection (approximately 45 ppm), meet the post-loss of coolant accident sump potential hydrogen-ion activity (pH) requirements specified in the FSAR and TSs and be acceptable to NRC in order to provide the maximum margin available for future fuel reloads.

The evaluations performed to support boron injection tank deactivation '

accommodate the' effects from the following modifications planned for the

• Cycle 4 outages for each unitt j

~ t

1. Resistance temperature detector bypass elimination , .

2. Eagle 21 digital protection system implementation '

i L 3.- Upper head injection remova! l b

4. Vantage 5 Hybrid fuel impienentation

'5. Use of new steamline break-protection ..

6. Reactor trip on steam flow / feed flow mismatch elimination In summary, plant specific analyses have been performed for SQN's -

I steamline break transients. These analyses have shown that the boron injection tank may be bypassed, eliminated, or reduced in boron ,

concentration and the heat tracing system removed. Additionally, the ,

analyses performed for SQN require an increase in the minimum and maximum boron concentrations for both the refueling water storage tanks and the i colei leg accumulators. This increase is neesssary to mest the boron requirements in the postaccident sump. Also, to meet the increased boron requirements associated with future core reloads, the volume of the boric 1 acid storage system will increase.

TVA has evaluated the proposed TS change and has determined that it does not represent a significant hazards consideration based on criteria  ;

established in 10 CFR 50.92(c). Operation of SQN in accordance with the l proposed amendment will nots (1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of  ;

an accident previously evaluated. i The deact1vation of the boron injection tank affects the steamline i break transients with respect to core integrity and mass and energy release to containment. With the assumption that the boron injection tank remains installed without heat tracing.and with boric acid concentration reduced to zero ppm, analyses show that the departure ,

from nucleate boiling design basis is met and no consequential fuel j failures are anticipated. Additionally, temperatures and pressures ,

reached in containment would fall below the containment design  !

limits. Therefore, no significant increase in the probability or  ;

consequences of a previously analyzed accident would occur.  ;

The boron injection tank is a component of the safety injection system whose sole function is to provide concentrated boric acid to the reactor coolant to mitigate the consequences of postulated steamline break analysis. The deactivation of the boron injection tank will therefore affect the steamline break transients, but it will not create the possibility of a new or different type of j accident. l (3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The analyses performed for the deactivation of the boron injection I tank indicate that the departure from nucleate boiling design basis continues to be met. Additionally, the temperatures and pressures reached in containment would fall below the containment design limits. Since the design bases contain the required margins of l safety, no significant reductions in margins of safety will occur.

4 The steam release as a consequence of this accident results in an initial l increase in st'eam flow which decreases during the accident.as the steam -

C. pressure falls. The energy removal from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) I causes.a reduction of r wlant temperature and pressure. In the presence of a negative moderato temperature coefficient,-the cooldown results in  ;

a reduction of core shutdown margin. i The analysis is rf r demonstrata lhA1_gt, fpo,QgwDgJdtirion is i satisfied: ssuming a stuck r ust'er' control assembly and a'singW'ttv'4e. h0"# " as j

4. The case studied is an initial total steam fiow of 228 lbs7second at i 1015 psia from all steam generators with offsite power available, y This is the maximum capacity of any single steam dump.or safety l valve. Initial hot shutdown conditions at time zero are assumed since this represerts the most pessimistic initial, condition. _

l Should the. reactor be just critical or operating at power at the time of a steam release, the reactor will be tripped by the normal overpower protection when power level reaches a trip point.

. . Following a trip at power the RCS contains more stored energy than at no load, the average coolant temperature is higher than at no '

load and-there-is-appreciable-energy stored in the fuel.

Thus,-4he-additional stored energy is removed via the cooldown caused by the steam line break before the no load conditions of RCS l are reached. Af ter the additional stored energy is removed,

'coofdown' proceeds in the same manner as in the analysis which 5 .

' assumes no load condition at time zero. However, since the initial steam generator water inventory is greatest at no load, the j magnitude and duration of the RCS cooldown are less for steam line r breaks occurring at power.

Case A Trip occurs at the same time spurious injection starts Case' 8 The reactor protection system produces a trip later in the (" '

transient. -

A For Case A the operator should determine if the spurious signal was transient or steady state in nature, i.e., an occasional occurrence or a '

l definite fault. The operator must also determine if the safetf injection l system must be defeated for repair. For the former case the operator I would stop the safety injection and bring the plant to the hot shutdown conditions. If the safety injection system must be disabled for repair, boration should continue through the normal boration mode and the plant

• brought to cold shutdown.

For Case B the reactor protection system does not produce an immediate trip and the reactor experiences a negative reactivity excursion causing ,

a decrease in reactor power. The power unbalance causes a drop in T..,

and consequent coolant shrinkage. Pressurizer pressure and level drop.

Load will decrease due to the effect of reduced steam pressure on load after the electro-hydraulic governor fully opens the turbine throttle

! valve. If automatic rod control is used, these effects will be lessened un.tll the rods have moved out of the core. The transient is eventually terminated by the reactor protection system low pressure trip or by manual trip.

• by~M ,

The time'to trip is affected by initial operating conditions including 5 core burnup history which affects initial boron concentration, rate of change of boron' concentration, Doppler and moderator coefficients.

C r Recovery from this incident for case B is made in the~ same manner described for case A. The only difference is the lower T. , and pressure associated with the power unbalance during the transient. The

)p '

time at which reactor trip occurs is of no concern for this accident. At -

l lower loads coolant contraction will be slower, resulting in a longer k :'

l time.to trip. p l

15.2.14.2 Analysis of Effects and Consecuences Method of Analysis The spurious operation of the SIS system is analyzed by employing the _

detailed digital computer program LOFTRAN (Reference 4). The code

• simulates the neutron kinetics, Reactor Coolant System, pressurizer, '

pressurizer relief and safety valves, pressurizer spray, steam generator.

steam generator safety valves, and the effect of the safety injection +

system. The program computes pertinent plant variables including temperatures, pressures, and power level.

Because of the power and temperature reduction during the transient, s

operating conditions do not approach the core limits. Analysis of several cases shows the results are relatively independent of time to  ;

trip.

A transient is presented representing conditions at beginning of core i life. Results at end of life are similar except that moderator feedback f

[

I effects result in a slower transient.

allowances for calibration and instrument errors. -

1 Fast-acting isolation valves are provided in each steam line that will fully close within 10 seconds of a large break in the steam line. For f( ; '

breaks: downstream of the isolation valves, closure of all valves would t p completely terminate the blowdown. For any break, in any location, no  ;

L more than one steam generator would blowdown even if one of the isolation b -valves falls to close. A description of steam line isolation is included e P in Chapter 10.

Steam flow is measured by monitoring dynamic head in nozzles inside the steam pipes. - The nozzles which are of considerably smaller diameter than the main steam pipe ar3 located inside the containment near the. Steam ,

The following conditions were assumed to exist at the time of a main steam line break accident.

1. End of life shut.down margin at no load, equilibrium xenort conditions, and the most reactive assembly stuck in its fully

. withdrawn position: Operation:of the control rod banks during core burnup is restricted in such a way that addition of positive reactivity in the steam line break accident will not lead to a more u ,

adverse condition than the case analyzed.

2. The negative moderator coefficient corresponding to the end of life rodded core.with the most reactive rod in the fully withdrawn position: . .The variation of the coefficient with- temperature and pressure has been included. The effect of power generation in the core on overall reactivity is shown in Figure 15.4.2-1.

The core properties associated with the sector nearest the affected steam generator and those associated with the remaining sector were conservatively combined to obtain average core properties for reactivity feedback calculations. Further, it was conservatively <

Where X'can be replaced by either H or B., W is the accumulator

. As. stated in WCAP 8185 the significant effect of UHI is to retard the pressure decrease of the RCS. This in turn reduces the flow of borated water from the Safety Injection System. This potentially detrimental effect is compensated for by the boration provided by the UHI.

8 The RCS depressurizes and cools down as heat is removed via the assumed ruptured steamline. Depending upon the relative rates of temperature and pressure decline, flashing may occur in the RCS at locations other than the pressurizer. In a plant without UHI, the-primary coolant system volume in which flashing will occur first is

'the upper head-of the reactor vessel. The temperature in this region tends to be higher than the temperature in other regions, which experience higher coolant flow rates. .

Water in.the upper head of the Sequoyah reactor vessel does not flash during thersteamline rupture. If a steamline 1s. assumed to rupture when the plant is in a hot shutdown condition and the coolant temperature in the reactor vessel upper head is assumed to remain at its initial no-load value (547*F), then the reactor coolant system would have-to depressurire to 1020 psia (saturation pressure at 547'F) from 2250 psia before any quality would be obseryed in the upper head. Meanwhile, the UHI system is conservatively assumed to add cold water.into the reactor vessel' upper head when the primary

The UHI system prevents flashing in the reactor coolant system during a steamline break by cooling the upper head region and by adding mass to the primary system, which retards the depressurization.

The total temperature decline is about 50*F based upon the depressur-12ation during the outsurge. On the average, the temperature drop ls '

about 25'F and the heat transfer area is half of the initial area (at no load the water inventory is about 25 percent). Therefore, the '

heat. transfer to water is small, due to the low AT and heat transfer area, and this heat input to water, however small, would be used for flashing anyway. This would produce more steam, which tends

.to retard the depr transfer from ization. Once the pressurizer is empty, heat g alls to steam is very poor,

y l The heat trans e o the water from the metal in the rest of the i

l When UHI is added, the water in the upper head is cooled and remains '

cooling *effect of the UHI water, and the_ heat addition to the primary coolant from the steel walls in the other regions of the primary system which are also neglected in the FSAR analysis. When all these j p '

steambreak are significantly reduced.

L The maximum UNI flow rate will occur during a major loss of coolant accident and will amount to about 3000 lbs/second. The UHI flow rate Lo calculations are described in NCAP-847939. The maximum UHI flow rate during a steamline break is a small fraction of the UHI flow rate j during a LOCA, rarely exceeding 10 percent of the LOCA flow. The l

' Steam pressure from the steam generators is. relieved by the steam dump system, secondary system atmospheric safety. valves, or secondary systcm

. relief valves. The operator is instructed to terminate aux 111ary l feedwater flow to the faulted steam generator as soon as he determines I which steam generator is-faulted. As soon as an Indicated water level I returns to the pressurizer the operator is instructed to turn off the l safety injection pumps and restrict the charging pumps as required. l l

can be met by simple switch actions by the operators, i.e., closing auxillary feed discharge' valves and stopping charging pumps and safety- l Injection pumps. - Thus, the required simple actions to limit the cooldown and depressurization can be easily recognized, planned and performed within ten minutes. For the longer time requirements for decay heat .1 removal and plant cooldowi the operator has time on the order of hours to respond.

i The worst case condition for long term cooling following a steam line

, break is loss of offsite power with failure of one emergency power train, since the' condition requires the greatest amount of operator action and-

. -the longest time to achieve cold shutdown. However, since the plant can i be maintained safely at hot standby conditions for extended periods of j time, there is no safety requirement which dictates rapid achievement of ,

cold shutdown conditions. l

. With only onsite pcwer available, the plant can be maintained in a safe hot standby. condition using the intact steam generators by supplying 1 feedwater with the auxiliary feedwater system, and venting steam through l the secondary side, power-operated relief valves. The relief-valves will i be controlled to gradually reduce pressure and temperature as the core  !

residual. heat decays. If the relief valves are .not available, the safety

.' valves will be used for steam dump. In this case, the primary system I pressure would be controlled such that adequate subcooling is I

! maintained. Primary system temperature would be maintained at that value 6 L ..

necessary to lift the steam generator safety valves as necessary to match l the decay heat from the core. This temperature would.be approximately H 553*F which corresponds to the lowest steam generat~or safety valve setpoint.of 1064 psig. For either means of steam relief, the steam generator water level will be maintained within the span of the narrow l range Indicators.

H 15.4.2.2 Maior Ruoture of a Main Feedwater Pipe L

15.4.2.2.1 Identification of Causes and Accident Desertotion j

- A major feedwater.line rupture is defined as a break in a feedwater pipe-large enough-to prevent the addition of sufficient feedwater to the steam generators to maintain shellside fluid inventory in the steam - i generators. If the break is postulated in a feedline between the check valve and the steam generator, fluid from the steam generator may also be discharged through the break. Further, a break in this location could f i

. preclude the subsequent addition of auxiliary feedwater to the affected

, steam generator.- (A break ~ upstream of the feedline check valve would - ( -l I l affect the Nuclear Steam Supply System only as a loss of feedwater. This p case is covered by the evaluation in Subsection 15.2.8.)-

i Depending upon the size of the break and- the plant operating gonditions - I

!" at the time of the b'reak,-the break could cause either a RCS cooldown (by  !

I - excessive energy discharge through.the break), or a RCS heatup.

Potential RCS cooldown~ resulting from a secondary pipe rupture'is 1 - evaluated in Paragraph .15.4.2.1, " Rupture of a Main Steam Line." 6 l- Therefore, only the RCS heatup effects.are evaluated for a feedline rupture.

A feedl'ine' rupture reduces the ability to remove heat generated by the core from the RCS bec'ause of the following reasons:

1. Feedwater to the steam generators is reduced. Since feedwater is r subcooled, its loss may cause reactor coolant temperatures to increase prior to reactor tript 1

L

2. Liquid in the steam generator may be discharged through the break,

- and would then not be available for decay heat removal after trip;

3. The break may be large enough to prevent the addition of any main feedwater after trip.
