3.0 Assessment of Radioactive Releases A review was performed of documentation associated with the pre-operational appraisal of the licensee's dose assessment program, observations of the system, and documentation from licensee submittals to the NRC. This review indicated that the program meets NRC requirements. This area was therefore not evaluated during this_ Emergency Response Facilities ;
(ERF) Appraisal. Documentation reviewed.in making this determination included:
Licensee submittal, offsite doses based on containment leakage, ,
dated May 1983 NUS Report on Dose Assessment System & Meteorology dated December 1984 NRC Report No. 440/84024(ORSS), dated December 1984 NRC Report No. 440/85009(DRSS), dated May 1985 NRC Report No. 440/85075(ORSS), dated December 1985 NRC Report No. 440/86009(DRSS), dated April 1986 NRC Report No. 440/87010(DRSS), dated June 1987 NRC Report No. 440/87021(DRSS), dated December 1987 Perry SSER 4, Section 13. .0 Meteorological Information A review was performed of documentation associated with the pre-operational appraisal of the meteorological system, observations of the system, and documentation from licensee submittals to the NRC. The review indicated that the licensee's system was acceptable in terms of adequacy, representativeness, and reliability, and therefore this area was not evaluated during this ERF Appraisa Documentation reviewed in making ,
this determination included:
NUS Report on Dose Assessment System and Meteorology dated December 1984 NRC Report No. 440/85009(DRSS) dated May 1985 NRC Report No. 440/85060(DRSS) dated December 1985 5.0 Technical Support Center 5.1 Location and Habitability The TSC is located in the basement of the service building, which is adjacent to the control building. The TSC is served by a dedicated HVAC system which includes both a normal and an emergency air filtration packag The emergency train includes a roughing filter, two high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and a charcoal ,
filter (adsorber). In the emergency mode, the emergency train is )
placed in service upstream of the normal filter trai A March 31, !
1983 licensee submission concerning design intentions for the emergency response facilities, Section 2.6 stated, "The TSC is provided with habitability features equivalent to the Control Room l  (CR)" and "The TSC ventilation system is equipped with HEPA and charcoal filters and will function in a manner comparable to the CR ventilation system, but will nut be Seismic Category 1 qualified, l

,
.
redundant, and not instrumented in the CR." These statements implied
>
that the system would, like most CR HVAC systems, pressurize the TSC with filtered air to prevent intrusion of radioactive or hazardous
,
materials.
 
The Perry Control Room HVAC operates in a true isolation mode during
,
emergency situations. This isolation is achieved through the use of l
two series valves, with rubber seats, in both the outside air inlet line and the exhaust line. The as-built TSC ventilation system works at zero pressurization in the emergency mode, but unlike the system in the Control Room, has no complete isolation from outside atmospher The mechanical equipment room, which contains the ventilation trains, is not isolated and has both a direct inlet of outside, unfiltered air and one or two exhaust fans discharging to outside atmosphere ,
while in the emergency mod Discussion with licensee personnel and a document review indicated that no overall system operability or functional testing is performe During the appraisal, the system was placed in the emergency mode and all components reviewed by the inspection tear.. The following problems were noted:
      !
a
* The position indication for Damper DM4 (return air to suction end of HEPA filter train) was inoperative. Indication stayed in the shut position as the damper cycled to the open position for emergency actuatio * The position indication lamps for Damper DM3 (outside air to the mechanical equipment room) were burned out or inoperative.
 
,
* The current initiation 1>gic for the TSC HVAC system does not
;
open Damper DM1 (outside air inlet to the HEPA/ Charcoal filter i  train), but does leave open Damper DM3 (outside air to the ;
mechanical equipment room, not filtered). Either one or both of the two mechanical equipment room exhaust fans continue to ;
run to exhaust room air to outside (depending on temperature).
 
'
This lineup creates the following situation:  1
 
  -
Air from the mechanical equipment room is being exhausted from the TSC envelope. Outside air which makes up the air
,
volume exhausted is brought into the TSC envelope via an unfiltered pat Only recirculated air in the TSC envelope passes through the emergency filter train (HEPA/ Charcoal). Any imbalance in the ventilation system will cause unfiltered, outside air to be drawn into the TSC envelope, either from the t  mechanical equipment room or via doors or other unsealed .
)  penetrations. Per the system operating procedure, SOI-MS2, !'

it is necessary to draw fresh air into the facilit It was noted during the test run of the system that air was flowing outward through all TSC boundary doors; this air had to be made up via some unfiltered sourc Problems related to the TSC HVAC system, noted above, were considered as an Open Item (440/88006-01).
 
HEPA and charcoal filter testing procedures for the TSC HVAC system were reviewed and found satisfactory. Other maintenance checks on the system are performed under a "Repetitive Tasks" tracking progra These checks consist of checking items such as air handling unit lubrication and drive belt tightnes Based upon the above findings, with the exception of the Open Item above, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .2 Functional Capabilities 5. Power Supplies The TSC is supplied with extremely reliable powe All computer systems, receptacles, lighting, radios, and other 110 VAC devices are supplied with power by two uninterruptable power supply (UPS) systems. The TSC loads are split between these two UPS systems. Each UPS consists of a 180 cell, 390 VDC battery bank which is charged with a rectifier which is supplied with non-1E power from 480 VAC plant load center The DC power passes through an inverter to supply the TSC load distribution panels (120 - 208 VAC). The UPS systems are rated at one hour following loss of AC supply, based on full load, but should last longer with judicial load strippin In the event power is not returned prior to battery exhaustion, a backup 480 to 120/208 VAC transformer parallels each UP The feeds for these backup transformers is from a 480 VAC eaergency diesel backed stub bus (off the IE plant bus). All of the 480 VAC which supplies the UPS and transformer systems could be supplied from any of the offsite 345 KV incoming line The TSC heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system is supplied with power from the same 480 VAC stub buses described above (diesel backed). All TSC communications systems are supplied with reliable power. The major systems and their respective power supplies are listed below:

Based on the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4 Data Collection, Storage, Analysis and Display The system used to provide this function was procured in totality from General Electric. Their designation for the system is ERI This system has other capabilities and components besides those specifically used for TSC and/or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Data Collection Storage Analysis and Display. Those capabilities and those portions of the ERIS system exclusively dedicated to other functions were not evaluate . Methods of Data Collection Data acquisition for the E0F and the TSC falls into two categories: (1) computer collected data and (2) manually collected dat The manually collected data is from offsite and not easily amenable to automated collection and display. Examples of the latter category are regional weather forecasts and I information from the local authoritie Computer collected data is processed by the ERIS syste This system consists of redundant Digital Equipment Company (DEC) VAX 11/780's with associated display terminals. Real Time Analysis and Display (RTAD) system serves as the primary VAX computer supporting ERF functions. The l
Transient Analysis computer system (TRA) VAX 11/780 based computer provides backup for the RTAD and has the ability l
to execute the same software as the RTAD and support ERF l  functions if needed. Both VAX's collect data from devices I  designated as "data formatters" which collect data from l  multiplexer units connected to the analog and digital input module .
l l
RTAD and TRA VAX's are equipped with large capacity disk l drives (450 Megabytes [MB]) on which the data is stored on !
rotary files (those whose oldest information is overwritten j by current data records as soon as the file size reaches t
      '
its maximum). At the time of the appraisal, the time during which data was resident on the rotary file was 3 hours and 28 minutes. Capabilities also er.ist to download the rotary ;
file or portions of it to magnetic tape for purposes of '
later analysis and/or archival storag .. . . .  .

Computer collected data is of both analog and digital form and is comprehensive in terms of site-wide coverage. The digital data is further broken down into simple digital data and pulse data. The pulse data is from the control rod position sensors and is considered as a separate type of inpu The number of data points collected is variabl At the time of the appraisal, the following breakdown between analog, digital, and pulse data points was being use Analog Digital Pulse _ Total Number of Sensors Sensors Sensors  Sensors 980  1036 177  2193 Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4.2 Data Displays ENIS information in the TSC is displayed by 4 Toshiba (model sys80018001) color terminals. The ERIS system
      '
contains over 100 different display screen formats that are selectable from a master menu. Each display device has a display limitation of 100 screen formats from the menu (this is a hardware limitation). At the time of this 3 appraisal, 120 displays had been defined, and in order to view all defined displays, stored displays of interest can be substituted for active displays on the menu list, or two CRT's with different display sets can be use The legibility and labeling of the variables displayed on the screens was found to be goo The organization of the screens was found to be helpful in interpreting the data displayed. The screens are updated in a timely manne The provision of four display units in the TSC is felt to be adequate. User access to the display units is unimpeded and operation of them is to a large degree self evident. User documentation is available. User selectable trending displays show a 30 or 60 minute  )
time windo i Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequate. However, the following items are suggested for program improvements:
  * The licensee should consider implementing intelligent CRT devices that will allow a larger numb.ar of screen formats to be accessed. This would eliminate having  i to load in stored displays when they are needed and  i are not available. It would also avoid having to use  j two display CRT's to look at complete display sets,  j

  * The licensee should consider developing the capability    '
for direct selection of displays from any current display. This would provide faster-display response    1 for users already familiar with poss1ble screen format displays. As the system is presently configured, users must always return to the main menu to select screen formats to displa .4.2.1 Time Resolution
          '
The ERIS system has the ability to create composed data points, i.e., data generated from multiple sensor readings by some pre-selected algorithm, such as power to 1iow ratios or bulk temperature The time resolution of the composed points varies from 4 to 20 second The sensor  ,
data itself-is sampled every 1/2 secon Based upon the above findings,'this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4.2.2 Signal Isolation
 
Signal isolation between the ERIS system and other plant    ,
data acquisition systems is provided by fiber optic cable Section G of the generic safety evaluation report for ERIS type systems (Reference Docket No. 00007447) finds that this is a suitable method for signal isolatio Based on observation of the data displayed by the ERIS
,  system and a review of the calibration that is performed on the system, there is no' evidence of signal degradation.
 
'
The data acquisition modules (microcomputer based front ends), that' feed the ERIS system and provide the interface between the ERIS system and the safety grade portion of ,
the plant instrumentation and the first layer of isolation
;  and their mountings are a safety grade installation. This has the effect of ensuring that the isolation has the same demonstrable level of integrity as the plant safety syste Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequate.

's Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4.2.4 Processing Capabilities System usage was observed through use of a utility provided as part of the operating system for the computer that was !
running the Real Time Analysis and Display (RTAD) proces The minimum duty cycle observed was more than 80 percen Additionally, on requesting a random series of screen formats from four CRT's concurrently unused processor e  capability ranged from 15 to O percent. Under , heavy loading (e.g., during an accident) computer processing capability could be degrade Section B of the generic safety evaluation report defines the design goal nr.ximum duty cycle to be 30 percent. While part of the goal free duty cycle was undoubtedly reserved for future expansion, a more important reason to leave some free capacity is so that the system can respond to the additional load placed on it during a severe plant transient. Some of the anticipated load comes from terminal usage. During a severe transient, all ten terminals (four in the TSC, three in the CR, two in the EOF, and one for special assignment) could be anticipated to be in use, calling for new displays and trending informatio More importantly, the process that provides composed data points is not an invariant process. This means that the amount of system resources required for this real time process is not predictable without load testing the system as it's configured for the Perry plant. Load testing would need to be designed to consider a variety of simulated plant transient condition The existing safety margin of about 15 percent is inadequate to cover the possible variation in the demand on system resources l of a process that is using about 40 percent of the available resources at steady state normal operatio This was considered as an Open Item (440/88006-02).

6.0 Emergency Operations Facility 6.1 Location and Habitability The primary EOF is located in the training center approximately 0.4 miles south of the power block and the backup EOF is located 10.5 miles to the southeast of the site in the CEI Concord Service  .
Center. These locations satisfy Option 1 of NUREG-0737,3 Supplement Power to the onsite E0F is provided via a 4160 VAC feed from a non-1E, Unit 2 bus (H21). Bus H21 can.be supplied from the Unit 1 or 2 startup transformers or from the Unit 1 or 2 auxiliary transformers. At the EOF, the 4160 is routed through redundant 4160 to 480 VAC transformers outside the training building. EOF loads are normally supplied by the "B" transformer, but can be supplied through the "A" transformer if a failure should occur in the "B" transforme The more important loads in the EOF, such as lights, computer terminals and radios, are supplied with power via a battery backed UPS system. The UPS would be capable of providing power to important loads for approximately an hour following a loss of AC powe Several ceiling mounted normal lighting units in the EOF have an internal, permanently sealed, battery backup power supply. Unlike most backup lighting systems previously reviewed, this system does not require continuous preventive maintenanc l The backup EOF is supplied with power from a different section of the CEI grid than that which supplies the Perry Station, and it has an emergency diesel generator in the event that normal power is los Therefore, power supplies to the E0Fs are satisfactor The primary EOF has a HEPA filter train installed which is placed in series with the normal air handling equipment for the building in the event of an outside radiological problem. Like most i  near-site E0Fs, the system does not maintain a positive pressure i
'  in the EOF and does not include charcoal filtration. The EOF HVAC system was tested in the emergency mode during the appraisal and  '
l the following problems noted:
  * The outside air damper (F-11) on one of the two roof mounted supply fan housings (Fan "A") failed to clos The damper appeared to remain about 30% ope If the "A" fan were selected ,
as the running fan in the emergency actuation procedure (which
'
allows either the "A" or "B" fan to be selected), outside air  1 would be drawn into the building and distributed throughout tne EOF without the air having passed through any HEPA filtration, i

  * The damper (F-5) which bypasses the HEPA filter train with
;  return air (in emergency mode) and with outside makeup air (in the emergency mode with outside makeup air being supplied via Damper F-1) failed to shut completely in the emergency mode of operatio.1. The damper appeared to remain about 40% ope The failure of this damper to shut defeats the design of the system by allowing recirculated and fresh outside air to bypass the HEPA filter trai .
'
  * Manual Damper 10-1 is located above a hallway acoustic ceiling !
til Operation of the damper is manual and is performed by a person standing on a ledder. The damper position cannot be seen, and it must b'e operated by feel. Proper positioning of the damper is dependent on it being in the proper position at the beginning of the emergency mode lineup. As a minimum, an .
observable position indicator should be added to this dan.pe * Manual Oamper 10-3 is similar to damper 10-1 described abov The operating lever for 10-3 can be seen, but no position l  indication is annotated on the duct or operato * Isolation Doors 107 and 109 (in the emergency mode lineup *
checklist) are labeled Doors "B" and "A" respectivel i i
EOF HEPA filter test procedures were reviewed and no problems note The rest of the EOF HVAC system is maintained under a "Repetitive Tasks" tracking system. This tracking system checks individual items such as Freon levels in chillers, lubrication of air handling unit motors, and drive belt tightnes No formal overall system operability testing procedures are in use for the EOF HVAC syste Implementation of such procedures would avoid problems such as those ,
described above (e.g. , failure of dampers to properly position).
 
The observed problems with the EOF HVAC System were considered as an Open Item (440/88006-03).

The EOF and the TSC share the same data collection and display
!              system. Two of the ERIS system display terminals are located in the EOF. They are connected via modems and 9600 baud lines to the VAX Unibus structure rather than directly as are the terminals in the TS From a software operational standpoint they are indistinguishable from the terminals in the TS The only hardware difference is the use of phone lines and modems rather than direct

3.0 Assessment of Radioactive Releases A review was performed of documentation associated with the pre-operational appraisal of the licensee's dose assessment program, observations of the system, and documentation from licensee submittals to the NRC. This review indicated that the program meets NRC requirements. This area was therefore not evaluated during this_ Emergency Response Facilities ;

(ERF) Appraisal. Documentation reviewed.in making this determination included:

Licensee submittal, offsite doses based on containment leakage, ,

dated May 1983 NUS Report on Dose Assessment System & Meteorology dated December 1984 NRC Report No. 440/84024(ORSS), dated December 1984 NRC Report No. 440/85009(DRSS), dated May 1985 NRC Report No. 440/85075(ORSS), dated December 1985 NRC Report No. 440/86009(DRSS), dated April 1986 NRC Report No. 440/87010(DRSS), dated June 1987 NRC Report No. 440/87021(DRSS), dated December 1987 Perry SSER 4, Section 13. .0 Meteorological Information A review was performed of documentation associated with the pre-operational appraisal of the meteorological system, observations of the system, and documentation from licensee submittals to the NRC. The review indicated that the licensee's system was acceptable in terms of adequacy, representativeness, and reliability, and therefore this area was not evaluated during this ERF Appraisa Documentation reviewed in making ,

this determination included:

NUS Report on Dose Assessment System and Meteorology dated December 1984 NRC Report No. 440/85009(DRSS) dated May 1985 NRC Report No. 440/85060(DRSS) dated December 1985 5.0 Technical Support Center 5.1 Location and Habitability The TSC is located in the basement of the service building, which is adjacent to the control building. The TSC is served by a dedicated HVAC system which includes both a normal and an emergency air filtration packag The emergency train includes a roughing filter, two high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and a charcoal ,

filter (adsorber). In the emergency mode, the emergency train is )

placed in service upstream of the normal filter trai A March 31, !

1983 licensee submission concerning design intentions for the emergency response facilities, Section 2.6 stated, "The TSC is provided with habitability features equivalent to the Control Room l (CR)" and "The TSC ventilation system is equipped with HEPA and charcoal filters and will function in a manner comparable to the CR ventilation system, but will nut be Seismic Category 1 qualified, l

,

.

redundant, and not instrumented in the CR." These statements implied

>

that the system would, like most CR HVAC systems, pressurize the TSC with filtered air to prevent intrusion of radioactive or hazardous

,

materials.

The Perry Control Room HVAC operates in a true isolation mode during

,

emergency situations. This isolation is achieved through the use of l

two series valves, with rubber seats, in both the outside air inlet line and the exhaust line. The as-built TSC ventilation system works at zero pressurization in the emergency mode, but unlike the system in the Control Room, has no complete isolation from outside atmospher The mechanical equipment room, which contains the ventilation trains, is not isolated and has both a direct inlet of outside, unfiltered air and one or two exhaust fans discharging to outside atmosphere ,

while in the emergency mod Discussion with licensee personnel and a document review indicated that no overall system operability or functional testing is performe During the appraisal, the system was placed in the emergency mode and all components reviewed by the inspection tear.. The following problems were noted:

!

a

  • The position indication for Damper DM4 (return air to suction end of HEPA filter train) was inoperative. Indication stayed in the shut position as the damper cycled to the open position for emergency actuatio * The position indication lamps for Damper DM3 (outside air to the mechanical equipment room) were burned out or inoperative.

,

  • The current initiation 1>gic for the TSC HVAC system does not

open Damper DM1 (outside air inlet to the HEPA/ Charcoal filter i train), but does leave open Damper DM3 (outside air to the ;

mechanical equipment room, not filtered). Either one or both of the two mechanical equipment room exhaust fans continue to ;

run to exhaust room air to outside (depending on temperature).

'

This lineup creates the following situation: 1

-

Air from the mechanical equipment room is being exhausted from the TSC envelope. Outside air which makes up the air

,

volume exhausted is brought into the TSC envelope via an unfiltered pat Only recirculated air in the TSC envelope passes through the emergency filter train (HEPA/ Charcoal). Any imbalance in the ventilation system will cause unfiltered, outside air to be drawn into the TSC envelope, either from the t mechanical equipment room or via doors or other unsealed .

) penetrations. Per the system operating procedure, SOI-MS2, !'

it is necessary to draw fresh air into the facilit It was noted during the test run of the system that air was flowing outward through all TSC boundary doors; this air had to be made up via some unfiltered sourc Problems related to the TSC HVAC system, noted above, were considered as an Open Item (440/88006-01).

HEPA and charcoal filter testing procedures for the TSC HVAC system were reviewed and found satisfactory. Other maintenance checks on the system are performed under a "Repetitive Tasks" tracking progra These checks consist of checking items such as air handling unit lubrication and drive belt tightnes Based upon the above findings, with the exception of the Open Item above, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .2 Functional Capabilities 5. Power Supplies The TSC is supplied with extremely reliable powe All computer systems, receptacles, lighting, radios, and other 110 VAC devices are supplied with power by two uninterruptable power supply (UPS) systems. The TSC loads are split between these two UPS systems. Each UPS consists of a 180 cell, 390 VDC battery bank which is charged with a rectifier which is supplied with non-1E power from 480 VAC plant load center The DC power passes through an inverter to supply the TSC load distribution panels (120 - 208 VAC). The UPS systems are rated at one hour following loss of AC supply, based on full load, but should last longer with judicial load strippin In the event power is not returned prior to battery exhaustion, a backup 480 to 120/208 VAC transformer parallels each UP The feeds for these backup transformers is from a 480 VAC eaergency diesel backed stub bus (off the IE plant bus). All of the 480 VAC which supplies the UPS and transformer systems could be supplied from any of the offsite 345 KV incoming line The TSC heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system is supplied with power from the same 480 VAC stub buses described above (diesel backed). All TSC communications systems are supplied with reliable power. The major systems and their respective power supplies are listed below:

  • Emergency Notification System (ENS) circuit: ,

Based on the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat . Data Adequacy -

Based on the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4 Data Collection, Storage, Analysis and Display The system used to provide this function was procured in totality from General Electric. Their designation for the system is ERI This system has other capabilities and components besides those specifically used for TSC and/or Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) Data Collection Storage Analysis and Display. Those capabilities and those portions of the ERIS system exclusively dedicated to other functions were not evaluate . Methods of Data Collection Data acquisition for the E0F and the TSC falls into two categories: (1) computer collected data and (2) manually collected dat The manually collected data is from offsite and not easily amenable to automated collection and display. Examples of the latter category are regional weather forecasts and I information from the local authoritie Computer collected data is processed by the ERIS syste This system consists of redundant Digital Equipment Company (DEC) VAX 11/780's with associated display terminals. Real Time Analysis and Display (RTAD) system serves as the primary VAX computer supporting ERF functions. The l

Transient Analysis computer system (TRA) VAX 11/780 based computer provides backup for the RTAD and has the ability l

to execute the same software as the RTAD and support ERF l functions if needed. Both VAX's collect data from devices I designated as "data formatters" which collect data from l multiplexer units connected to the analog and digital input module .

l l

RTAD and TRA VAX's are equipped with large capacity disk l drives (450 Megabytes [MB]) on which the data is stored on !

rotary files (those whose oldest information is overwritten j by current data records as soon as the file size reaches t

'

its maximum). At the time of the appraisal, the time during which data was resident on the rotary file was 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 28 minutes. Capabilities also er.ist to download the rotary ;

file or portions of it to magnetic tape for purposes of '

later analysis and/or archival storag .. . . . .

Computer collected data is of both analog and digital form and is comprehensive in terms of site-wide coverage. The digital data is further broken down into simple digital data and pulse data. The pulse data is from the control rod position sensors and is considered as a separate type of inpu The number of data points collected is variabl At the time of the appraisal, the following breakdown between analog, digital, and pulse data points was being use Analog Digital Pulse _ Total Number of Sensors Sensors Sensors Sensors 980 1036 177 2193 Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4.2 Data Displays ENIS information in the TSC is displayed by 4 Toshiba (model sys80018001) color terminals. The ERIS system

'

contains over 100 different display screen formats that are selectable from a master menu. Each display device has a display limitation of 100 screen formats from the menu (this is a hardware limitation). At the time of this 3 appraisal, 120 displays had been defined, and in order to view all defined displays, stored displays of interest can be substituted for active displays on the menu list, or two CRT's with different display sets can be use The legibility and labeling of the variables displayed on the screens was found to be goo The organization of the screens was found to be helpful in interpreting the data displayed. The screens are updated in a timely manne The provision of four display units in the TSC is felt to be adequate. User access to the display units is unimpeded and operation of them is to a large degree self evident. User documentation is available. User selectable trending displays show a 30 or 60 minute )

time windo i Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequate. However, the following items are suggested for program improvements:

  • The licensee should consider implementing intelligent CRT devices that will allow a larger numb.ar of screen formats to be accessed. This would eliminate having i to load in stored displays when they are needed and i are not available. It would also avoid having to use j two display CRT's to look at complete display sets, j

.

  • The licensee should consider developing the capability '

for direct selection of displays from any current display. This would provide faster-display response 1 for users already familiar with poss1ble screen format displays. As the system is presently configured, users must always return to the main menu to select screen formats to displa .4.2.1 Time Resolution

'

The ERIS system has the ability to create composed data points, i.e., data generated from multiple sensor readings by some pre-selected algorithm, such as power to 1iow ratios or bulk temperature The time resolution of the composed points varies from 4 to 20 second The sensor ,

data itself-is sampled every 1/2 secon Based upon the above findings,'this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4.2.2 Signal Isolation

Signal isolation between the ERIS system and other plant ,

data acquisition systems is provided by fiber optic cable Section G of the generic safety evaluation report for ERIS type systems (Reference Docket No. 00007447) finds that this is a suitable method for signal isolatio Based on observation of the data displayed by the ERIS

, system and a review of the calibration that is performed on the system, there is no' evidence of signal degradation.

'

The data acquisition modules (microcomputer based front ends), that' feed the ERIS system and provide the interface between the ERIS system and the safety grade portion of ,

the plant instrumentation and the first layer of isolation

and their mountings are a safety grade installation. This has the effect of ensuring that the isolation has the same demonstrable level of integrity as the plant safety syste Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequate.

'

5.4.2.3 Data Communications The display terminals in the TSC are connected to the RTAD processor with 9600 bits per second lines. Error detection j and correction was reported by licensee personnel to be done for display CRT's as well as other communication '

's Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's program is adequat .4.2.4 Processing Capabilities System usage was observed through use of a utility provided as part of the operating system for the computer that was !

running the Real Time Analysis and Display (RTAD) proces The minimum duty cycle observed was more than 80 percen Additionally, on requesting a random series of screen formats from four CRT's concurrently unused processor e capability ranged from 15 to O percent. Under , heavy loading (e.g., during an accident) computer processing capability could be degrade Section B of the generic safety evaluation report defines the design goal nr.ximum duty cycle to be 30 percent. While part of the goal free duty cycle was undoubtedly reserved for future expansion, a more important reason to leave some free capacity is so that the system can respond to the additional load placed on it during a severe plant transient. Some of the anticipated load comes from terminal usage. During a severe transient, all ten terminals (four in the TSC, three in the CR, two in the EOF, and one for special assignment) could be anticipated to be in use, calling for new displays and trending informatio More importantly, the process that provides composed data points is not an invariant process. This means that the amount of system resources required for this real time process is not predictable without load testing the system as it's configured for the Perry plant. Load testing would need to be designed to consider a variety of simulated plant transient condition The existing safety margin of about 15 percent is inadequate to cover the possible variation in the demand on system resources l of a process that is using about 40 percent of the available resources at steady state normal operatio This was considered as an Open Item (440/88006-02).

Based upon the above findings, this portion of the licensee's progr,am is adequat ,

6.0 Emergency Operations Facility 6.1 Location and Habitability The primary EOF is located in the training center approximately 0.4 miles south of the power block and the backup EOF is located 10.5 miles to the southeast of the site in the CEI Concord Service .

Center. These locations satisfy Option 1 of NUREG-0737,3 Supplement Power to the onsite E0F is provided via a 4160 VAC feed from a non-1E, Unit 2 bus (H21). Bus H21 can.be supplied from the Unit 1 or 2 startup transformers or from the Unit 1 or 2 auxiliary transformers. At the EOF, the 4160 is routed through redundant 4160 to 480 VAC transformers outside the training building. EOF loads are normally supplied by the "B" transformer, but can be supplied through the "A" transformer if a failure should occur in the "B" transforme The more important loads in the EOF, such as lights, computer terminals and radios, are supplied with power via a battery backed UPS system. The UPS would be capable of providing power to important loads for approximately an hour following a loss of AC powe Several ceiling mounted normal lighting units in the EOF have an internal, permanently sealed, battery backup power supply. Unlike most backup lighting systems previously reviewed, this system does not require continuous preventive maintenanc l The backup EOF is supplied with power from a different section of the CEI grid than that which supplies the Perry Station, and it has an emergency diesel generator in the event that normal power is los Therefore, power supplies to the E0Fs are satisfactor The primary EOF has a HEPA filter train installed which is placed in series with the normal air handling equipment for the building in the event of an outside radiological problem. Like most i near-site E0Fs, the system does not maintain a positive pressure i

' in the EOF and does not include charcoal filtration. The EOF HVAC system was tested in the emergency mode during the appraisal and '

l the following problems noted:

  • The outside air damper (F-11) on one of the two roof mounted supply fan housings (Fan "A") failed to clos The damper appeared to remain about 30% ope If the "A" fan were selected ,

as the running fan in the emergency actuation procedure (which

'

allows either the "A" or "B" fan to be selected), outside air 1 would be drawn into the building and distributed throughout tne EOF without the air having passed through any HEPA filtration, i

  • The damper (F-5) which bypasses the HEPA filter train with
return air (in emergency mode) and with outside makeup air (in the emergency mode with outside makeup air being supplied via Damper F-1) failed to shut completely in the emergency mode of operatio.1. The damper appeared to remain about 40% ope The failure of this damper to shut defeats the design of the system by allowing recirculated and fresh outside air to bypass the HEPA filter trai .

'

  • Manual Damper 10-1 is located above a hallway acoustic ceiling !

til Operation of the damper is manual and is performed by a person standing on a ledder. The damper position cannot be seen, and it must b'e operated by feel. Proper positioning of the damper is dependent on it being in the proper position at the beginning of the emergency mode lineup. As a minimum, an .

observable position indicator should be added to this dan.pe * Manual Oamper 10-3 is similar to damper 10-1 described abov The operating lever for 10-3 can be seen, but no position l indication is annotated on the duct or operato * Isolation Doors 107 and 109 (in the emergency mode lineup *

checklist) are labeled Doors "B" and "A" respectivel i i

EOF HEPA filter test procedures were reviewed and no problems note The rest of the EOF HVAC system is maintained under a "Repetitive Tasks" tracking system. This tracking system checks individual items such as Freon levels in chillers, lubrication of air handling unit motors, and drive belt tightnes No formal overall system operability testing procedures are in use for the EOF HVAC syste Implementation of such procedures would avoid problems such as those ,

described above (e.g. , failure of dampers to properly position).

The observed problems with the EOF HVAC System were considered as an Open Item (440/88006-03).
