ATTACHMENT 1 TO AEP:NRC:05 Descr i tion of  Desi n The reactor  Coolant Vent System is comprised of the Reactor Head Vent System and    the Pressurizer Vent System. It has been designed to vent a volume of Hydrogen approximately equal to one-half of the re-actor coolant system volume in one hour at system design pressure and temperature, Each of these subsystems consists of two parallel flow paths .'."
one inch in size, with redundant isolation valves in each flow path.         A 3/8" orifice has been installed upstream of the isolation valves to limit the flow in the case of a break downstream of the orifices to within the capacity of;-one centrifugal charging pump. A break of an RCS Vent Line upstream of,the orifices would result in a small LOCA not greater than .one inch in diameter. This type of break has been analyzed in WCAP-9600 (Reference 1) and would behave similarly to the hot leg break presented .
in this report. Therefore a break in the vent line would not result in            .
a calculated core uncover . A locked open hand valve will be installed upstream of the 3/8" orifices.
The isolation valves are D. C. powered, fail closed, solenoid valves with stem position switches. These valves can be operated from control .room.. They will be no@nally closed during plant operation.
                                                                              .'he Indicating 'hghts will be installed in the control room so the operators will know tne valve position. These valves will be qualified to IEEE-323-1974, IEEE-344-1975 an'd IEEE-383-1972. RTD assemblies have been added downstream of the solenoid valves to detect leakage through these valves..
These RTD "ssemblies will set off an alarm in the control room        if leakage through the valves should occur.
          . The reactor vessel head vent connects to a part-length control rod drive mechanism housing located near the center of the reactor head.
The pressurizer vent is connected to the pressurizer relief line. The possibility of reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage is minimized because of the two isolation valves in series.       Isolation valves in one flow path are powered by Train    A and  the valves in the second flow path are powered by Train B.
Both the reactor head vent and the pressurizer vent discharge into  the  upper volume of the .containment at approx. elevation 673'-0",
in an  area  which will provide adequate dilution of any combustible gas.
 
All piping  and equipment used  in the reactor  head vent from the part-length rod housing    to the orifices and all piping and equipment used in the pressurizer vent    from the pressurizer relief piping to the orifices are designed in accordance with ASME, Section III Class 1 requirements.
From the orifices up to the first anchor downstream of the second isolation valve the piping and equipment has been designed in accordance with ASME Section III Class 2 requirements.      The remainder of the piping is designed to AEP Seismic Class 1 Level 4.
~Testin
~Otal The isolation valves used on          the reactor head vent and pressurizer-vent will be tested in accordance with      subsection IWV-3000 of ASME Section XI for  Category  B valves during refueling outages.

ATTACHMENT 1 TO AEP:NRC:05 Descr i tion of Desi n The reactor Coolant Vent System is comprised of the Reactor Head Vent System and the Pressurizer Vent System. It has been designed to vent a volume of Hydrogen approximately equal to one-half of the re-actor coolant system volume in one hour at system design pressure and temperature, Each of these subsystems consists of two parallel flow paths .'."

one inch in size, with redundant isolation valves in each flow path. A 3/8" orifice has been installed upstream of the isolation valves to limit the flow in the case of a break downstream of the orifices to within the capacity of;-one centrifugal charging pump. A break of an RCS Vent Line upstream of,the orifices would result in a small LOCA not greater than .one inch in diameter. This type of break has been analyzed in WCAP-9600 (Reference 1) and would behave similarly to the hot leg break presented .

in this report. Therefore a break in the vent line would not result in .

a calculated core uncover . A locked open hand valve will be installed upstream of the 3/8" orifices.

The isolation valves are D. C. powered, fail closed, solenoid valves with stem position switches. These valves can be operated from control .room.. They will be no@nally closed during plant operation.

.'he Indicating 'hghts will be installed in the control room so the operators will know tne valve position. These valves will be qualified to IEEE-323-1974, IEEE-344-1975 an'd IEEE-383-1972. RTD assemblies have been added downstream of the solenoid valves to detect leakage through these valves..

These RTD "ssemblies will set off an alarm in the control room if leakage through the valves should occur.

. The reactor vessel head vent connects to a part-length control rod drive mechanism housing located near the center of the reactor head.

The pressurizer vent is connected to the pressurizer relief line. The possibility of reactor coolant pressure boundary leakage is minimized because of the two isolation valves in series. Isolation valves in one flow path are powered by Train A and the valves in the second flow path are powered by Train B.

Both the reactor head vent and the pressurizer vent discharge into the upper volume of the .containment at approx. elevation 673'-0",

in an area which will provide adequate dilution of any combustible gas.

All piping and equipment used in the reactor head vent from the part-length rod housing to the orifices and all piping and equipment used in the pressurizer vent from the pressurizer relief piping to the orifices are designed in accordance with ASME,Section III Class 1 requirements.

From the orifices up to the first anchor downstream of the second isolation valve the piping and equipment has been designed in accordance with ASME Section III Class 2 requirements. The remainder of the piping is designed to AEP Seismic Class 1 Level 4.

~Testin

~Otal The isolation valves used on the reactor head vent and pressurizer-vent will be tested in accordance with subsection IWV-3000 of ASME Section XI for Category B valves during refueling outages.
