The CST is the primary source of water for the HPCI/RCIC system and these systems are normally aligned to the CST. Note however that the suppression pool is the safety related source of water for this system. The HPCI and RCIC systems provide makeup water to the RPV during accident conditions.

Under the current transfer logic, upon initiation of a HPCI automatic suction transfer on low CST level, the suppression pool suction valve (HV1(2)55F042) will go full open.

The proposed HPCI suction transfer EC's involves changing the suction transfer logic such that the HPCI Suppression Pool Suction Valve and the HPCI Condensate Storage Tank Suction Valve operate simultaneously, rather than in series. This change will prevent the potential for unacceptable vortex formation in the HPCI suction line during a HPCI automatic suction transfer from the CST to the Suppression Pool. Vortex fomatlon in the suction lines would introduce air in the line and potentially render the HPCI pump inoperable.
: 7. Technical Specification Bases, Section B 3.3.5.1
Operating the HPCI suction valves in parallel will speed up the transfer process and also increases reliability of the transfer function.A flow model has been developed (Reference  
: 8. OP-1 52-001 -Operating Procedure - HPCI System
: 10) which demonstrates that as long as the HPCI suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool Is initiated prior to CST level reaching 40.5 inches above the tank bottom, there will be no unacceptable vortex formation in the HPCI and RCIC suction lines during the transfer process and these systems would remain fully functional throughout and following a suction transfer.
: 9. ES-1 (2)52-002 - "HPCI Suction Auto Transfer Bypass".
Therefore, the existing technical specification allowable value for the HPCI CST low level transfer (Table 3.3.5.1-1) will be increased from 2: 36 Inches to > 40.5 inches (more conservative direction) above tank bottom in support of the.se EC's. The evaluation also assumes the RCIC automatic suction transfer from the CST occurs at the existing technical specification allowable value of 36 inches from tank bottom. Therefore, this evaluation also documents acceptability of the existing technical specification allowable value for the RCIC automatic suction transfer from the CST. The evaluation assumes both HPCI and RCIC systems in service at maximum flow conditions since HPCI and RCIC systems share a common CST suction line. The analysis (EC-052-1055) is conservative since it does not credit the vortex breaker installed inside the CST at the HPCI/RCIC suction nozzle. It should be-noted that direct determination of a technical specification allowable value by means of a calculation is not consistent with the conventional methodology described in JDS-02 (Reference 13), but it is consistent with the original design basis for these level Instruments and it is consistent with Technical Specification Bases 3.3.5.1, which states that "the allowable values for these level instruments are based on system calculations and/or engineering judgment which establishes a conservative limit at which the function should occur. It should also be noted that exceptions to the conventional instrument setpoint methodology are allowed per JDS-02 (Reference 13), provided justification for deviation from the recommended practice is provided.

It is demonstrated Inthis calculation that the currently existing HPCI and RCIC Process Setpolnts (43.5" above the bottom of the CST) provide a high degree of assurance that the instrument cannot drift below the Allowable Value. This is accomplished through a statistical evaluation of historical data obtained from surveillance of these instruments.

There is 95.4 % confidence that the actual instrument set points will not drift below 42.4 inches For Inforrhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 5 of 15 (based on 3-month surveillance interval and using the "worst case" instrument data.)3. There is 99.7% confidence that the actual instrument setpoints will not drift below 42.1 inches (based on 3-month surveillance interval and using the "worst case" instrument data.)4. There is an insignificant chance (probability

<2.0E-07) that an actual trip setpoint could be found as low as 41.5 inches (1 inch above the Allowable Value) during calibration check. Therefore, the only reasonable way that the setpoint could drop to this level would be if the instrument were damaged or broken. It should be noted that in this case, the redundant level instrument would be available to perform the required transfer function.Based on this statistical evaluation, the currently existing Process Setpolnt of 43.5 Inches provides a high degree of assurance that calibration checks will not find that the HPCI suction transfer level Instruments have drifted to the non-conservative side of the Allowable Value (40.5 inches). This conclusion clearly holds for the RCIC instruments as well since the margin from the Process Setpoint (43.5 inches) to the Allowable Value (36.0 inches) is considerably greater than for HPCI, and the instruments are of the same type. It is therefore concluded that the existing Process Setpoint of 43.5 inches for the HPCI and RCIC CST suction transfer switches Is acceptable.
: 2.       There is 95.4 % confidence that the actual instrument set points will not drift below 42.4 inches
Based on conservatisms used in the flow-model evaluation (EC-052-1055) and the fact that (based on a review of historical data and the simple design of the switches) these mechanical level instruments are highly accurate and exhibit very little drift, the ,Alowable Value and the Trip Setpoint are taken to be the same value. The allowable value Identified in Technical Specification Table 3.3.5.1 and the Trip Setpoint identified In the Technical Requirements Manual, Table 2.2-1, are currently the same value (36 inches)for both the RCIC and HPCI systems. This value will be changed for the HPCI system to the new value (40.5 inches) in support of the EC's.As discussed above, the HPCI and RCIC suction transfer-levelinstruments are set at 43.5 inches from the tank bottom. This setpoint is fixed by the location at which the switches are installed on the tank. The proposed EC's maintain the current Instrument Process Setpolnt of 43.5 inches, which eliminates the need to modify the tank and relocate the switches.
 
Since the minimum height for the suction transfer to initiate Is changing from 36 Inches above tank bottom for the HPCI system to 40.5 inches above tank bottom, there will be a net reduction in margin between the Process Setpoint and the technical specification Allowable Value. The historical setpoint tolerance used in the HPCI Surveillance Procedure (SI-1 52/252-308) is +/- 1.5 inches (final tolerance).
For Inforrhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 5 of 15 (based on 3-month surveillance interval and using the "worst case" instrument data.)
The historical as-found tolerance for these instruments is +/- 3 inches. Since there is a net reduction in margin between the allowable value and the process setpoint, this tolerance is excessive.
: 3.       There is 99.7% confidence that the actual instrument setpoints will not drift below 42.1 inches (based on 3-month surveillance interval and using the "worst case" instrument data.)
Although not physically possible based on the simple design of the mechanical float switches, the current as-found tolerance would theoretically allow the setpoint to drift down to the Allowable Value, which is not acceptable since that would leave no margin to account for instrument accuracy.
: 4.       There is an insignificant chance (probability <2.0E-07) that an actual trip setpoint could be found as low as 41.5 inches (1 inch above the Allowable Value) during calibration check. Therefore, the only reasonable way that the setpoint could drop to this level would be if the instrument were damaged or broken. It should be noted that in this case, the redundant level instrument would be available to perform the required transfer function.
Consequently, a new sel:point tolerance, which more closely relates to the instrument capabilities, has been developed.
Based on this statistical evaluation, the currently existing Process Setpolnt of 43.5 Inches provides a high degree of assurance that calibration checks will not find that the HPCI suction transfer level Instruments have drifted to the non-conservative side of the Allowable Value (40.5 inches). This conclusion clearly holds for the RCIC instruments as well since the margin from the Process Setpoint (43.5 inches) to the Allowable Value (36.0 inches) is considerably greater than for HPCI, and the instruments are of the same type. It is therefore concluded that the existing Process Setpoint of 43.5 inches for the HPCI and RCIC CST suction transfer switches Is acceptable.
See Appendices A and B for further Detail.Based on the instrument surveillance data summarized in Tables 1 and 2, it is concluded that the existing Instrument setpoint tolerances can be tightened to be more representative of actual instrument performance.
Based on conservatisms used in the flow-model evaluation (EC-052-1055) and the fact that (based on a review of historical data and the simple design of the switches) these mechanical level instruments are highly accurate and exhibit very little drift, the ,Alowable Value and the Trip Setpoint are taken to be the same value. The allowable value Identified in Technical Specification Table 3.3.5.1 and the Trip Setpoint identified In the Technical Requirements Manual, Table 2.2-1, are currently the same value (36 inches) for both the RCIC and HPCI systems. This value will be changed for the HPCI system to the new value (40.5 inches) in support of the EC's.
The data shows that the maximum deviation in measured setpoint from the Process Setpoint of 43.5 inches is approximately 1 inch with a 95.4% confidence factor (2 standard deviations) using the "worse case* instrument data. This evaluation supports a reduction in the allowable as-left instrument tolerance from +/- 1.5 inches to +/- 1.0 inches. In addition, this evaluation supports a reduction In the as-found tolerance from +/- 3.0 Inches to +/- 2.0 inches, since the risk of the actual Instrument setpoint (as determined by calibration check) drifting down to:41.5 inches has been evaluated as insignificant.
As discussed above, the HPCI and RCIC suction transfer-levelinstruments are set at 43.5 inches from the tank bottom. This setpoint is fixed by the location at which the switches are installed on the tank. The proposed EC's maintain the current Instrument Process Setpolnt of 43.5 inches, which eliminates the need to modify the tank and relocate the switches. Since the minimum height for the suction transfer to initiate Is changing from 36 Inches above tank bottom for the HPCI system to 40.5 inches above tank bottom, there will be a net reduction in margin between the Process Setpoint and the technical specification Allowable Value.

In addition, this evaluation supports a reduction In the as-found tolerance from +/- 3.0 Inches to +/- 2.0 inches, since the risk of the actual Instrument setpoint (as determined by calibration check) drifting down to:41.5 inches has been evaluated as insignificant.
The as-found instrument tolerance (43.5 +/- 2.0 inches) also provides adequate margin to the HPCI technical specification Allowable Value (40,5 inches), even if the setpoint were to drift to the minimum as-found tolerance level of 41.5 inches. The 1 inch margin is within the established accuracy of these level instruments.
The as-found instrument tolerance (43.5 +/- 2.0 inches) also provides adequate margin to the HPCI technical specification Allowable Value (40,5 inches), even if the setpoint were to drift to the minimum as-found tolerance level of 41.5 inches. The 1 inch margin is within the established accuracy of these level instruments.
For Informhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 6 of 15 These changes are consistent with the supplemental setpoint tolerance evaluations provided in Appendices A and B.Note also that redundant instruments are used in this application, so that if the setpoint were to drift excessively because an instrument was damaged or broken, the other instrument would be available to perform the required transfer function.Based on the historical data review and the proposed Process Setpoint tolerance changes, it is concluded that there is adequate margin between the Process Setpoint and the new Allowable Value for the HPCI level instruments.
 
Even though the technical specification Allowable Value for the RCIC system level instruments (36 inches) is not being changed, the setpoint tolerance changes will be applied to the RCIC Instrumentation as well, since these tolerances are more representative and appropriate for the actual level instrument performance.

PROPOSED CHANGE IMPACTS: Potential Design Basis Impacts: 1. NPSH available must exceed NPSH required as defined in the FSAR, section 6.3.2.2.1:
Note also that redundant instruments are used in this application, so that ifthe setpoint were to drift excessively because an instrument was damaged or broken, the other instrument would be available to perform the required transfer function.
This requirement will not be adversely, affected.

The CST water level is conservatively assumed to be two feet below the CST suction i!ransfer level in the existing NPSH calculations.
PROPOSED CHANGE IMPACTS:
The NSPH available to the HPCI pump will not decrease with the HPCI suction valves stroking in parallel during a suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool, as documented in EC-052-1055.
Potential Design Basis Impacts:
For the HPCI system, the technical specification allowable value for the low level transfer is increasing from 36 inches to 40.5 inches, therefore the NPSH available to the HPCI pump at the technical specification allowable value will be greater. For the RCIC system no changes are being-made that would adversely impact NPSH available to-the RCIC pumps. The actual instrument setpoints (43.5 inches from tank bottom) are not being changed by this EC.Therefore, the HPCI and RCIC pump NPSH requirements are not adversely affected by this change.2. The CST's were originally designed to provide a minimum storage capacity of 135,000 gallons for the RCIC and HPCI pumps associated with each unit. The 135,000 gallon reserve volume requirements were based on a GE Guideline which calculates the reserve volume based on the RPV inventory loss due to boil off rate in the reactor for an 8 hour Integrated decay heat factor (DBD041).As documented in EC-037-0501 Revision 1, the 135,000 reserve volume discussed in the FSAR and DBDO04 equates to the dedicated volume available in the CST down to the top of the HCI/RCIC suction nozzle. This dedicated volume was established as part of the original tank design, based on the original GE guideline to size the CST reserve volume to support 8 hours of decay heat removal and, as such, remains unchanged.
: 1.       NPSH available must exceed NPSH required as defined in the FSAR, section 6.3.2.2.1:
The CST reserve volume available following implementation of EC82397.5 and EC823991 was evaluated in EC-037-0501 and was found to be adequate to fully support RCIC and HPCI operation at final EPU conditions.
This requirement will not be adversely,affected. The CST water level is conservatively assumed to be two feet below the CST suction i!ransfer level in the existing NPSH calculations. The NSPH available to the HPCIpump will not decrease with the HPCI suction valves stroking in parallel during a suction transferfrom the CST to the suppression pool, as documented in EC-052-1055.
: 3. The inventory available In the CST must be adequate to support HPCI and/or RCIC systems operation during ATWS, Station Blackout and Appendix R Safety shutdown events.The reserve CST volume is credited in ATWS, Appendix R and SBO evaluations.
Forthe HPCIsystem, the technical specification allowable value for the low level transferis increasingfrom 36 inches to 40.5 inches, therefore the NPSH available to the HPCIpump at the technical specificationallowable value will be greater. For the RCIC system no changes are being-made that would adversely impact NPSH available to-the RCIC pumps. The actual instrument setpoints (43.5 inches from tank bottom) are not being changed by this EC.
As documented in EC-037-0501, the reserve volume available in the CST following implementation of EC 823975 and EC 823991 is adequate to fully support these supplemental design functions.
Therefore, the HPCIand RCIC pump NPSH requirementsare not adversely affected by this change.

It is concluded that the reserve volume in the CST is considered adequate to fully support HPCI and RCIC system operation.

A summary of the existing versus the new Process Setpoints, Process Setpoint tolerances and Allowable Values for the HPCI and RCIC automatic transfor functions is provided below. The new Allowable Values are obtained from the flow analysis documented In EC-052-1055.
: 1.       The Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specifications address the automatic suction transfer setpoint for HPCI and RCIC. Tables 3.3.5.1-1 and 3.3.5.2-1 establish the Condensate Storage Tank Level - Low allowable value for the HPCI and RCIC Systems, respectfully.
These values will ensure satisfactory pump performance during a suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool. The Technical Specification changes, Technical Specification Bases changes and Technical Requirements Manual changes will be implemented under the proposed EC's.The Process Setpoints are adequate to ensure, with a high-degree of confidence that the HPCI and RCIC automatic suction transfer will occur prior to reaching the technical specification Allowable Values. The Allowable Values were established consistent with the Technical Specification Bases, Section B3.3.5.1, which indicates that the allowable values for these instruments can be based on system calculations and/or engineering judgment to establish a conservative limit at which the function (the automatic level transfer) can occur.
Allowable Value: > 36" above tank bottom A change will be requiredto Table 3.3.5.1-1 to change the technicalspecification allowable value for a HPCI automatic suction transfer from the CST.

This section of the Tech Spec Bases allows Allowable values for these instruments to be based on system calculations and/or engineering judgment. Exemptions were taken for these mechanical switches as well as timing relays. Since these instruments were exempt from following the JDS-02 methodology, the trip setpoint in TRM Table 2.2-1 and the allowable value in Technical Specification Table 3.3.5.1-1 were assigned the same value. It has been demonstrated that the actual process setpoints are adequately above the allowable value and trip setpoint identified in technical specifications to ensure the instruments would actuate prior to reaching the allowable value. For EC's 823975 and 823991, the trip setpoint and allowable value will also be assigned the same value, namely 40.5 inches above tank bottom. There is no tangible benefit to assigning a different value for the trip setpoint, as would typically be done using conventional setpoint methodology. Maintaining the trip setpoint and allowable value the same is consistent with existing technical specifications, it is consistent with the existing RCIC system level instruments and based on the: above discussion is considered acceptable in this application.

GE specification 22A1362AW Rev. 9, Table I implies that the nominal trip setpoint should be assigned the same value as the allowable value for these level instruments, which is consistent with current plant technical specifications.

On page 10 of the document it specifics a scale range of(+/-) 1", an accuracy of (+/-) 0.5", a calibration accuracy of (+/..) 0.25", a drift of (+/-) 0.5", a Nominal Trip Setpoint of 0" and the Technical Specification Limit to be determined by the A/E. Footnote I on page 12 of the document defines the Scale Range of the instrument as the minimum required range of the measured variable or process to which the process sensing instruments and or trip devices are to be calibrated. This document is considered to be outdated since at the time the document was written actual instrument capabilities were unknown. However, it is consistent with other documentation in determining a Nominal 'Trip Setpoint of 0", meaning that this value and that of the Allowable Value are identical and also requiring a minimum calibration range of (+/-)1".

Later when purchased, no drift number was specified for the blind switch. Since drift is partially based on calibration frequency, the number has no meaning without knowing calibration frequency. The statistical analysis of historical drift data provided in Revision 2 of this calculation provides more meaningful values.

A discussion was held with Bill Knecht of I&C Maintenance on 11/11/2008. Bill explained the actual calibration procedure used in SI-I (2)52-308. He explained that these are blind mechanical switches to which plastic tubing is attached and water level slowly lowered in the float chamber until the switch magnet releases, which tilts a mercury switch. He stated that he recommended an as-left tolerance of(+/-) 1".

I. Allowable Value and Trip Setpoint for these Instruments As discussed above, the technical specification allowable value and the trip setpoint in the TRM for these instruments are currently the same value, namely 36 inches above tank bottom. As concluded above, it is acceptable to leave the trip setpoint and allowable value the same for these level instruments. EC's 823975 and 823991 justifies that the existing value of 36 inches above tank bottom is acceptable, therefore, no changes are required in the TRM or plant technical specifications for these level instruments.
II. Setpoint Tolerances for these Level Instruments GE historical documentation of level instrument setpoint tolerances has been reviewed to help establish appropriate setpoint tolerances fur these instruments. GE design information for the RCIC float switches indicates that the RCIC float switches have exactly the same model number (3.5-751-IX-MPG-M14HY) as the HPCI float switches. An identical design for the RCIC and HPCI switches is shown on FF127250 Sh. 6801 Rev. 2, MI-E41-68 Rev. 2. The RCIC switches are added to the drawing as E51

For Inforrtation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 2 of 15 OBJECTIVE:

Document the basis for the process setpoint for the HPCI and RCIC automatic suction transfer from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST) and to document the basis for the technical specification allowable value for the HPCI and RCIC suction transfer from the CST.

INTRODUCTION:

Background:

The CST is the primary source of water for the HPCI/RCIC system and these systems are normally aligned to the CST. Note however that the suppression pool is the safety related source of water for this system. The HPCI and RCIC systems provide makeup water to the RPV during accident conditions. The system will automatically transfer from the CST to the suppression pool when level in the CST reaches the suction transfer setpoint. Level switches gire provided In the CST to initiate the automatic suction transfer to the suppression pool. The switches must be set high enough to ensure adequate NSPH to the pumps and to prevent unacceptable vortex formation in the suction piping to ensure pump operation is not compromised during the transfer.

The switches which accomplish the suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool for the HPCI system are:

LSLL-E41-1N002 LSLL-E41-2N002 LSLL-E41-1N003 LSLL-E41-2N003 The switches which accomplish the suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool for the RCIC system are:

LSL-E51 -1N035A LSL-E51-2N035A LSL-E51 -1N035E LSL-E51-2N035E These instruments also initiate an alarm in the control room. The alarm setpoint and the suction transfer setpoint are the same.

Statement of Problem:

As documented in AR 667984667984 the existing technical specification allowable value for a HPCI system CST low level transfer was found to be inadequate and results In possibility of vortex formation in the HPCI suction line from the CST during the transfer process, if the transfer were to occur at the current technical specification allowable value (36 inches above tank bottom). Once a suction transfer is initiated, the level in the CST will continue to drop until the suction transfer Is completed. The previous revision of this calculation (EC-037-1001, Rev. 1) did not adequately account for the stroke times of the HPCI suction valves to complete the suction transfer.

A flow model has since been developed (EC-052-1055) to account for valve stroke times during the transfer process. The model ensures that the new technical specification allowable values are adequate to ensure no unacceptable vortex formation in the HPCI or RCIC suction lines during an automatic suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool at maximum system flow conditions. Engineering changes EC 823975 and EC 823991 are being developed in support of the HPCI suction transfer logic changes.

This calculation revision will document the basis for the new technical specification allowable value for

For Inforrhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 3 of 15 HPCI system and document the basis acceptability of the existing technical specification allowable value for the RCIC system. This calculation revision will also evaluate acceptability of the existing process setpoints and setpolnt tolerances required to support the low CST level transfer changes for both the RCIC and HPCI systems. This calculation revision will also address impacts of the required tech spec and process setpoint changes on the applicable RCIC and HPCI system design basis requirements.

For Inforrhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 4 of 15 BASIS FOR CURRENT AND REVISED CST SETPOINTS FOR THE HPCI AND RCIC SYSTEMS:

EC 823975 (Unit 1) and EC 823991 (Unit 2) have been initiated to change the suction transfer logic such that the HPCI Suppression Pool Suction Valve and the HPCI Condensate Storage Tank Suction Valve operate in parallel, rather than in series. Under the current transfer logic, upon initiation of a HPCI automatic suction transfer on low CST level, the suppression pool suction valve (HV1(2)55F042) will go full open. Once the valve is full open, a signal will be initiated to close the condensate storage tank (CST) suction valve (HV1 (2)55F004). The proposed HPCI suction transfer EC's involves changing the suction transfer logic such that the HPCI Suppression Pool Suction Valve and the HPCI Condensate Storage Tank Suction Valve operate simultaneously, rather than in series. This change will prevent the potential for unacceptable vortex formation in the HPCI suction line during a HPCI automatic suction transfer from the CST to the Suppression Pool. Vortex fomatlon in the suction lines would introduce air in the line and potentially render the HPCI pump inoperable. Operating the HPCI suction valves in parallel will speed up the transfer process and also increases reliability of the transfer function.

A flow model has been developed (Reference 10) which demonstrates that as long as the HPCI suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool Is initiated prior to CST level reaching 40.5 inches above the tank bottom, there will be no unacceptable vortex formation in the HPCI and RCIC suction lines during the transfer process and these systems would remain fully functional throughout and following a suction transfer. Therefore, the existing technical specification allowable value for the HPCI CST low level transfer (Table 3.3.5.1-1) will be increased from 2:36 Inches to > 40.5 inches (more conservative direction) above tank bottom in support of the.se EC's. The evaluation also assumes the RCIC automatic suction transfer from the CST occurs at the existing technical specification allowable value of 36 inches from tank bottom. Therefore, this evaluation also documents acceptability of the existing technical specification allowable value for the RCIC automatic suction transfer from the CST. The evaluation assumes both HPCI and RCIC systems in service at maximum flow conditions since HPCI and RCIC systems share a common CST suction line. The analysis (EC-052-1055) is conservative since it does not credit the vortex breaker installed inside the CST at the HPCI/RCIC suction nozzle. Itshould be-noted that direct determination of a technical specification allowable value by means of a calculation is not consistent with the conventional methodology described in JDS-02 (Reference 13), but it is consistent with the original design basis for these level Instruments and it is consistent with Technical Specification Bases 3.3.5.1, which states that "the allowable values for these level instruments are based on system calculations and/or engineering judgment which establishes a conservative limit at which the function should occur. Itshould also be noted that exceptions to the conventional instrument setpoint methodology are allowed per JDS-02 (Reference 13), provided justification for deviation from the recommended practice is provided. The justification for the new technical specification allowable values and the corresponding instrument process selpointlprocess setpoint tolerances is provided herein.

See Appendices A and B for further detail.

It is demonstrated Inthis calculation that the currently existing HPCI and RCIC Process Setpolnts (43.5" above the bottom of the CST) provide a high degree of assurance that the instrument cannot drift below the Allowable Value. This is accomplished through a statistical evaluation of historical data obtained from surveillance of these instruments. Since for this particular case, the variation of the actual instrument trip setpoint Is well understood based on a significant history of plant surveillance data, and also due to the simple design of the mechanical float switches, this approach Is more reliable than the conventional methodology presented in JDS-02, which relies on constituent uncertainties that are not well defined for these instruments.

Instrument surveillance data for both the RCIC and HPCI level switches has been evaluated over the past 4 years and is summarized in Tables 1 and 2. The following conclusions have been reached based on the data review and application of Normal probability distribution:

1. The maximum calculated standard deviation about the mean actual setpoint is 0.28 inches.
2. There is 95.4 % confidence that the actual instrument set points will not drift below 42.4 inches

For Inforrhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 5 of 15 (based on 3-month surveillance interval and using the "worst case" instrument data.)

3. There is 99.7% confidence that the actual instrument setpoints will not drift below 42.1 inches (based on 3-month surveillance interval and using the "worst case" instrument data.)
4. There is an insignificant chance (probability <2.0E-07) that an actual trip setpoint could be found as low as 41.5 inches (1 inch above the Allowable Value) during calibration check. Therefore, the only reasonable way that the setpoint could drop to this level would be if the instrument were damaged or broken. It should be noted that in this case, the redundant level instrument would be available to perform the required transfer function.

Based on this statistical evaluation, the currently existing Process Setpolnt of 43.5 Inches provides a high degree of assurance that calibration checks will not find that the HPCI suction transfer level Instruments have drifted to the non-conservative side of the Allowable Value (40.5 inches). This conclusion clearly holds for the RCIC instruments as well since the margin from the Process Setpoint (43.5 inches) to the Allowable Value (36.0 inches) is considerably greater than for HPCI, and the instruments are of the same type. It is therefore concluded that the existing Process Setpoint of 43.5 inches for the HPCI and RCIC CST suction transfer switches Is acceptable.

Based on conservatisms used in the flow-model evaluation (EC-052-1055) and the fact that (based on a review of historical data and the simple design of the switches) these mechanical level instruments are highly accurate and exhibit very little drift, the ,Alowable Value and the Trip Setpoint are taken to be the same value. The allowable value Identified in Technical Specification Table 3.3.5.1 and the Trip Setpoint identified In the Technical Requirements Manual, Table 2.2-1, are currently the same value (36 inches) for both the RCIC and HPCI systems. This value will be changed for the HPCI system to the new value (40.5 inches) in support of the EC's.

As discussed above, the HPCI and RCIC suction transfer-levelinstruments are set at 43.5 inches from the tank bottom. This setpoint is fixed by the location at which the switches are installed on the tank. The proposed EC's maintain the current Instrument Process Setpolnt of 43.5 inches, which eliminates the need to modify the tank and relocate the switches. Since the minimum height for the suction transfer to initiate Is changing from 36 Inches above tank bottom for the HPCI system to 40.5 inches above tank bottom, there will be a net reduction in margin between the Process Setpoint and the technical specification Allowable Value. The historical setpoint tolerance used in the HPCI Surveillance Procedure (SI-1 52/252-308) is +/- 1.5 inches (final tolerance). The historical as-found tolerance for these instruments is +/- 3 inches. Since there is a net reduction in margin between the allowable value and the process setpoint, this tolerance is excessive. Although not physically possible based on the simple design of the mechanical float switches, the current as-found tolerance would theoretically allow the setpoint to drift down to the Allowable Value, which is not acceptable since that would leave no margin to account for instrument accuracy. Consequently, a new sel:point tolerance, which more closely relates to the instrument capabilities, has been developed.

See Appendices A and B for further Detail.

Based on the instrument surveillance data summarized in Tables 1 and 2, it is concluded that the existing Instrument setpoint tolerances can be tightened to be more representative of actual instrument performance. The data shows that the maximum deviation in measured setpoint from the Process Setpoint of 43.5 inches is approximately 1 inch with a 95.4% confidence factor (2 standard deviations) using the "worse case* instrument data. This evaluation supports a reduction in the allowable as-left instrument tolerance from +/- 1.5 inches to +/- 1.0 inches. In addition, this evaluation supports a reduction In the as-found tolerance from +/- 3.0 Inches to +/- 2.0 inches, since the risk of the actual Instrument setpoint (as determined by calibration check) drifting down to:41.5 inches has been evaluated as insignificant.

The as-found instrument tolerance (43.5 +/- 2.0 inches) also provides adequate margin to the HPCI technical specification Allowable Value (40,5 inches), even if the setpoint were to drift to the minimum as-found tolerance level of 41.5 inches. The 1 inch margin is within the established accuracy of these level instruments.

For Informhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 6 of 15 These changes are consistent with the supplemental setpoint tolerance evaluations provided in Appendices A and B.

Note also that redundant instruments are used in this application, so that ifthe setpoint were to drift excessively because an instrument was damaged or broken, the other instrument would be available to perform the required transfer function.

Based on the historical data review and the proposed Process Setpoint tolerance changes, it is concluded that there is adequate margin between the Process Setpoint and the new Allowable Value for the HPCI level instruments. Even though the technical specification Allowable Value for the RCIC system level instruments (36 inches) is not being changed, the setpoint tolerance changes will be applied to the RCIC Instrumentation as well, since these tolerances are more representative and appropriate for the actual level instrument performance.

PROPOSED CHANGE IMPACTS:

Potential Design Basis Impacts:

1. NPSH available must exceed NPSH required as defined in the FSAR, section 6.3.2.2.1:

This requirement will not be adversely,affected. The CST water level is conservatively assumed to be two feet below the CST suction i!ransfer level in the existing NPSH calculations. The NSPH available to the HPCIpump will not decrease with the HPCI suction valves stroking in parallel during a suction transferfrom the CST to the suppression pool, as documented in EC-052-1055.

Forthe HPCIsystem, the technical specification allowable value for the low level transferis increasingfrom 36 inches to 40.5 inches, therefore the NPSH available to the HPCIpump at the technical specificationallowable value will be greater. For the RCIC system no changes are being-made that would adversely impact NPSH available to-the RCIC pumps. The actual instrument setpoints (43.5 inches from tank bottom) are not being changed by this EC.

Therefore, the HPCIand RCIC pump NPSH requirementsare not adversely affected by this change.

2. The CST's were originally designed to provide a minimum storage capacity of 135,000 gallons for the RCIC and HPCI pumps associated with each unit. The 135,000 gallon reserve volume requirements were based on a GE Guideline which calculates the reserve volume based on the RPV inventory loss due to boil off rate in the reactor for an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Integrated decay heat factor (DBD041).

As documented in EC-037-0501 Revision 1, the 135,000 reserve volume discussed in the FSAR and DBDO04 equates to the dedicated volume availablein the CST down to the top of the HCI/RCIC suction nozzle. This dedicated volume was established as part of the originaltank design, based on the originalGE guideline to size the CST reserve volume to support 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of decay heat removal and, as such, remains unchanged. The CST reserve volume available following implementation of EC82397.5 and EC823991 was evaluated in EC-037-0501 and was found to be adequate to fully support RCIC and HPCI operation at final EPU conditions.

3. The inventory available Inthe CST must be adequate to support HPCI and/or RCIC systems operation during ATWS, Station Blackout and Appendix R Safety shutdown events.

The reserve CST volume is credited in ATWS, Appendix R and SBO evaluations. As documented in EC-037-0501, the reserve volume available in the CST following implementation of EC 823975 and EC 823991 is adequate to fully support these supplemental design functions.

It is concluded that the reserve volume in the CST is considered adequate to fully support HPCI and RCIC system operation.

For Inforrhation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 7 of 15 Potential Technical Speclflcation Impacts:

1. The Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specifications address the automatic suction transfer setpoint for HPCI and RCIC. Tables 3.3.5.1-1 and 3.3.5.2-1 establish the Condensate Storage Tank Level - Low allowable value for the HPCI and RCIC Systems, respectfully.

Allowable Value: > 36" above tank bottom A change will be requiredto Table 3.3.5.1-1 to change the technicalspecification allowable value for a HPCI automatic suction transfer from the CST. A technical specificationchange will be processedunder EC 823975 and EC 823991 to change the technical specificationallowable value from 36 inches to 40.5 inches above tank bottom. Justificationfor this change is provided in this calculation and the Modification Safety Assessment for EC 823975 and EC 823991.

2. The Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Requirements Manual (TRM), Table 2.2-1 Includes the instrument Trip Setpoint for the HPCI CST Level - Low transfer function.

A change will be required to this Table to change the instrument Trip Setpoint from the current value of> 36 inches above tank bottom to > 40.5 inches above tank bottom. Justificationfor this change is provided in this calculationand the Modification Safety Assessment for EC 823975 and EC 823991.

3. Technical specification Surveillance requirement 3.5.2.1 and 3.5.2.2require verification that either the suppression pool level is a 20 feet or that the Core Spray system is aligned to take suction from the CST and the CST contains 2 135,000 gallons of water, equivalent to 49% of capacity.

Since the proposed change does not involve any physical changes to the CST or associated piping, this technical specification surveillance is not adversely affected.

4. The Technical Specification Bases. Section 3.3.5.1 (Background section and Section 3.d),

describes operation of the HPCI automatic transfer function, describing the suction vales operating In series as presently designed.

A change will be requiredto Section 3.3.5.1 in the technical specificationbases to incorporate the HPCIautomatic transferlogic changes from series operationto paralleloperationper EC 823975 and EC 823991.

CONCLUSION:

A summary of the existing versus the new Process Setpoints, Process Setpoint tolerances and Allowable Values for the HPCI and RCIC automatic transfor functions is provided below. The new Allowable Values are obtained from the flow analysis documented InEC-052-1055. These values will ensure satisfactory pump performance during a suction transfer from the CST to the suppression pool. The Technical Specification changes, Technical Specification Bases changes and Technical Requirements Manual changes will be implemented under the proposed EC's.

The Process Setpoints are adequate to ensure, with a high-degree of confidence that the HPCI and RCIC automatic suction transfer will occur prior to reaching the technical specification Allowable Values. The Allowable Values were established consistent with the Technical Specification Bases, Section B3.3.5.1, which indicates that the allowable values for these instruments can be based on system calculations and/or engineering judgment to establish a conservative limit at which the function (the automatic level transfer) can occur.

For Inforrmation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 8 of 15 New setpoint tolerances were established based on the documentation of the original design basis of the mechanical switch requiring a 1"calibration accuracy, the data sheet showing the purchase requirements of an adjustable range of (+/-)l", the recommendation of experienced I&C Maintenance personnel, and a statistical analysis of the drift data. See Appendices A and B for further detail. These instrument data are more representative of actual instrument performance. These tolerances provide adequate margin to the revised technical specification allowable value for the HPCI system. The setpoint tolerance changes will be implemented for the RCIC system instrumentation as well, since these instruments are identical to the HPCI instruments.

This evaluation and the Modification Safety Assessment generated for EC 823975 and EC823991 documents that these changes will not adversely impact any HPCI or RCIC system design functions.

I. Allowable Value and Trip Setpoint for these Instruments The mechanical portion of this calculation established the Allowable Value for the setpoint (see page 4) as derived from calculation EC-052-1055. A similar value was calculated originally in Bechtel calculation M-108-025 Rev 0 and was used to establish the Nominal Trip Setpoint of 43.5" as implemented by welding the float chambers to the CST at SSES. At that time, a Tech Spec Limit of 3' 4.5" or 40.5" was calculated. This is identical to the 40.5" Allowable Value calculated in this calculation. There is no .Analytical Value for this setpoint. An exemption from specific usage of the JDS-02 methodology is provided in the Tech Spec Bases Section B 3.3.5.1.

This section of the Tech Spec Bases allows Allowable values for these instruments to be based on system calculations and/or engineering judgment. Exemptions were taken for these mechanical switches as well as timing relays. Since these instruments were exempt from following the JDS-02 methodology, the trip setpoint in TRM Table 2.2-1 and the allowable value in Technical Specification Table 3.3.5.1-1 were assigned the same value. It has been demonstrated that the actual process setpoints are adequately above the allowable value and trip setpoint identified in technical specifications to ensure the instruments would actuate prior to reaching the allowable value. For EC's 823975 and 823991, the trip setpoint and allowable value will also be assigned the same value, namely 40.5 inches above tank bottom. There is no tangible benefit to assigning a different value for the trip setpoint, as would typically be done using conventional setpoint methodology. Maintaining the trip setpoint and allowable value the same is consistent with existing technical specifications, it is consistent with the existing RCIC system level instruments and based on the: above discussion is considered acceptable in this application.

The GE historical documentation related to the allowable value versus trip setpoint for these instruments has also been reviewed. GE specification 22A1362AW Rev. 9, Table I implies that the nominal trip setpoint should be assigned the same value as the allowable value for these level instruments, which is consistent with current plant technical specifications.

It. Setpoint Tolerances for these Level Instruments GE historical documentation of level instrument setpoint tolerances has also been reviewed to establish appropriate setpoint tolerances fir these instruments under EC's 823975 and 823991. A summary of this review is provided below:

1. The Nominal Trip Setpoint appears to have come from GE in GE document 22A5261AK, Instrument Setpoints and Technical Specification Limits dated 4/23/1981. This was specifically written for Susquehanna I and 2. It also states, specifically, that if there are any conflicts between this document and any other document, the requirements of data sheet 22A5261AK

For Inforihation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 12 of 15 shall govern. Sheet 13 of GE document 22A5261AK provide the specifics for the Trip Function "Condensate Storage Tank Level - Low. It states that the Nominal Trip Setpoint should be "X +

3 in.", where X is the Technical Specification Limit or Allowable Value. From the original Bechtel calculation M-108-025 Rev. 0. This was determined to be 40.5" and therefore the nominal Trip Setpoint is 43.5" in keeping with the original GE design. Footnote (d) to the value explains that "X" equals the value that ensures adequate Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) for the HPCI pump and no vortexing. In addition, this data sheet provides for a 1" accuracy, a 1" calibration accuracy, and a maximum design drift allowance of 1".

2. An earlier document, GE 22A1362AW Rev. 9, dated 8/7/72 provides different information for the instruments. On page 10 of the document it specifics a scale range of(+/-) 1", an accuracy of (+/-) 0.5", a calibration accuracy of (+/..) 0.25", a drift of (+/-) 0.5", a Nominal Trip Setpoint of 0" and the Technical Specification Limit to be determined by the A/E. Footnote I on page 12 of the document defines the Scale Range of the instrument as the minimum required range of the measured variable or process to which the process sensing instruments and or trip devices are to be calibrated. This document is considered to be outdated since at the time the document was written actual instrument capabilities were unknown. However, it is consistent with other documentation in determining a Nominal 'Trip Setpoint of 0", meaning that this value and that of the Allowable Value are identical and also requiring a minimum calibration range of (+/-)1".

Later when purchased, no drift number was specified for the blind switch. Since drift is partially based on calibration frequency, the number has no meaning without knowing calibration frequency. The statistical analysis of historical drift data provided in Revision 2 of this calculation provides more meaningful values.

3. GE document 23A9309AE dated 11/15/1999, after various PPL revisions, was investigated. This document provides the details about the instruments as purchased. It shows them to be blind mechanical float switches with an adjustable range of(+/-) 1". It also shows a required adjustable range of(+/-) 2". It also shows the process fluid to be condensate, a design temperature of 200 degrees F, a design pressure of 150 psig, a normal temperature of 100 degrees F, and a rated accuracy of(+/-) of 1/4%of the span. The vendor was Magnetrol with a model number of 3.5-751-1X-MPG-M 14HY. The GE Purchase part drawing number is 159C4294P002. It states that levels will be marked on the float chamber at 1" intervals for reference.

IlL. Statistical Analysis of Drift Data This calculation analyzed the instrument actual drift data from 3/27/2003 until 12/11/2006.

From this analysis it was determined that highest range over the entire period was (+) 0.875. In addition, the mean (-) 2 Std deviations was 43.15 for 1N002, 43.64 for 1N003, 44.01 for 2N002, and 42.86 for 2N003. Since our primary concern is keeping the low level setpoint above the Allowable value of 40.5" of H20, this data shows the closest approach to the Allowable Value over the 3.75 year period was 2.36" for 2N003. The furthest from the Nominal Trip Setpoint of 43.5 was 0.64" for 2N003 or approximately 1.5% of the setpoint. None of these values approached the Allowable Value of 40.5".

For Inforihation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 13 of 15 IV. Discussion with Maintenance:

A discussion was held with Bill Knecht of I&C Maintenance on 11/11/2008. Bill explained the actual calibration procedure used in SI-I (2)52-308. He explained that these are blind mechanical switches to which plastic tubing is attached and water level slowly lowered in the float chamber until the switch magnet releases, which tilts a mercury switch. He stated that he recommended an as-left tolerance of(+/-) 1".

Conclusion:

Based on both the documentation located on the original design basis of the mechanical switch requiring a 1" calibration accuracy, the data sheet showing the purchase requirements of adjustable range of (+/-) 1", the recommendation of experienced I&C Maintenance personnel, and the statistical analysis of the drift data; the tolerances for these mechanical blind switches are to be: As-found (+/-) 2" and As-left (+/-) 1". These tolerances are consistent with the original design bases and ensure that the Allowable Value will not be approached during the surveillance interval.

I. Allowable Value and Trip Setpoint for these Instruments As discussed above, the technical specification allowable value and the trip setpoint in the TRM for these instruments are currently the same value, namely 36 inches above tank bottom. As concluded above, it is acceptable to leave the trip setpoint and allowable value the same for these level instruments. EC's 823975 and 823991 justifies that the existing value of 36 inches above tank bottom is acceptable, therefore, no changes are required in the TRM or plant technical specifications for these level instruments.

II. Setpoint Tolerances for these Level Instruments GE historical documentation of level instrument setpoint tolerances has been reviewed to help establish appropriate setpoint tolerances fur these instruments. GE design information for the RCIC float switches indicates that the RCIC float switches have exactly the same model number (3.5-751-IX-MPG-M14HY) as the HPCI float switches. An identical design for the RCIC and HPCI switches is shown on FF127250 Sh. 6801 Rev. 2, MI-E41-68 Rev. 2. The RCIC switches are added to the drawing as E51-N0035AE. In addition, GE Document 2349310AE, or Ml-E51-91 Rev 11, Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System Instrument Data Sheets, page 16 shows identical characteristics. The actual Nominal Trip Setpoint is shown on the Ready Data Sheet for each instrument as 43.5". The Remarks Section of the Data Sheet states that trip points were measured from surveyor's marks on the level chamber.

Statistical Analysis of Drift Data Revision 2 of this calculation analyzed the instrument actual drift data from 3/27/2003 until 12/11/2006. From this analysis it was determined that highest range over the entire period was (-)

1.125 from the setpoint of 43.5". In addition, the mean (-) 2 Std deviations was 42.62 for ESI -

1N035A, 42.36 for E51-1N035E, 42.96 for E51-2N035A, and 42.68 for E51-2N035E. Since our primary concern is keeping the low level setpoint above the Allowable value of 36" of H20, this data shows the closest approach to the Allowable Value over the 3.75 year period was 9.36" for E51-1N035E. The furthest from the setpoint of 43.5 was 1.125" for E51-2N035E.. None of these values approached the Allowable Value of 36".

Conclusion:

Based on both the documentation located on the original design basis of the mechanical switch requiring a 1" calibration accuracy, the data sheet showing the purchase requirements of adjustable range of (+/-) 1", the recommendation of experienced I&C Maintenance personnel, and the statistical analysis of the drift date; the tolerances for these mechanical blind switches are to be: As-found (+/-) 2" and As-left (+/-) I". These tolerances are consistent with the original

For Informnation Only Calculation EC-037-1001 Revision 3 Page 15 of 15 design bases, the tolerances are consistent with the identical HPCI level instruments and these tolerances ensure that the Allowable Value will not be approached during the surveillance interval.

  • II the control. Shut-off valves are recommended for instal-lation between vessel and the float chamber of the control.

If control is to be used with a low temperature liquid (one which will "boil" in the float chamber if outside heat is absorbed), the chamber and piping should be insulated.

Such boiling in the chamber will cause false level indi-cations. Do NOT insulate switch mechanism housing.

For high pressure controls with pressure equalized self purging floats, a %" equalizer line may be required from the vapor space above the highest level reached by the liquid in the pressure vessel (as shown). A needle type valve is recommended for the equalizer line. If no higher opening'is available in the vessel, line should be connected back to the control vapor line, as indicated.

NOTE: If pressure vessel is placed into and removed from service by slowly raising and lowering pressure while, liquid is below control, the equalizing line may be omitted.

On controls equipped with pneumatic switch assemblies, consult bulletin on mechanism furnished for air (or gas) FIG. 2 piping instructions.

NOTE: See one of the following bulletins furnished with your control for proper connections.
