A.DesinBasisAccidentTheaccidentmodeledisthecompleteseverance ofasteamgenerator tubelocatedatthetubesheetonthecoldlegside.Itwasalsoassumedthatlossofoffsitepoweroccurredatthetimeofreactortrip,andtheworstrodwasassumedtobestuckatreactortrip.a,cThemostlimitingsinglefailurewithrespecttosteamgenerator overfillwasdetermined byreference 1tobeafailedclosedPORVontheintactsteamgenerator.
SinceGinnaisatwoloopplant,theintactsteamgenerator PORVmustbelocallyopenedbeforeRCScooldowncanbegin.Thisadditional timetolocallyopentheintactsteamgenerator PORVwilldelayRCSdepressurization, causinganincreaseintotalprimarytosecondary leakage.Consequently, morewaterwillaccumulate inthefaultedsteamgenerator.

Onthisbasis,100%nominalpowerwasassumedfortheanalysisratherthanconsidering anoverpower factor.3.Pressurizer WaterLevelTheRCSdepressurization rateincreases afterthepressurizer empties.Ahigherpressurizer waterlevelwillincreasethetimerequiredforthepressurizer toempty.Thisresultsinmaintaining ahigherprimarytosecondary pressuredifferential andthusalargerbreakflowrateforalongertimeperiod.Therefore, itisconcluded thatmaximizing thepressurizer waterlevelisconservative.

IntheLOFTTR2analyses, theSGTRrecoveryactionsintheE-3guideline weresimulated untilthetermination ofprimarytosecondary leakage.Aftertheprimarytosecondary leakageisterminated, theoperators willcontinuetheSGTRrecoveryactionsintheE-3guideline topreparetheplantforcooldowntocoldshutdownconditions.
Theseactionsincludeestablishing normalChemicalandVolumeControlSystem(CVCS)operation toprovidereactorcoolantinventory controlandaborationpath;restarting areac'torcoolantpump(RCP),ifnonearerunning,toensurehomogeneous RCSconditions andtoprovidenormalpressurizer spray;orstoppingoneRCP,ifbotharerunning,tominimizetheheatinput'uring thesubsequent cooldown; andtheactionsnecessary to'inimize thespreadofcontamination onthesecondary side.Whentheinstructions providedinE-3arecompleted, theplantshouldbecooledanddepressurized tocoldshutdownconditions.
Therearethreealternate meansofperforming thepost-SGTR cooldownprovidedintheWOGEmergency ResponseGuidelines.
Theguidelines are:ES-3.1,POST-SGTR COOLDOWNUSINGBACKFILL; ES-3.2,POST-SGTR COOLDOWNUSINGBLOWDOWN; andES-3.3,POST-SGTR COOLDOWNUSINGSTEAMDUMP.Thepreferred methodsareusingbackfillorblowdownsincethesemethodsminimizetheradioactivity releasedtotheatmosphere.

Therefore, themethodusingsteamdumpwasselectedforevaluation ofthelong-term massreleasessincethisproducesconservative resultsfortheoffsitedoseevaluation.
Itisnotedthattheuseofthesteamdumpmethodwouldnotbepermitted ifsteamgenerator overfilloccursandwaterentersthemainsteamlines.

2.CooldownRCStoResidualHeatRemoval(RHR)SystemTemperature TheRCSiscooledbysteamingandfeedingtheintactsteamgenerator similartoanormalcooldown.
Sinceallimmediate safetyconcernshavebeenresolved, thecooldownrateshouldbemaintained lessthanthemaximumallowable rateof100'F/hr.
Thepreferred meansforcoolingtheRCSissteamdumptothecondenser sincethisminimizes theradiological releasesandconserves feedwater supply.ThePORVfortheintactsteamgenerator canalsobeusedifsteamdumptothecondenser isunavailable.
WhentheRHRsystemoperating temperature isreached,thecooldownisstoppeduntilRCSpressurecanalsobedecreased.
Thisensuresthatpressure/temperature limitswillnotbeexceeded.

Steamreleasetothecondenser ispreferred sincethisminimizes radiological releases.
However,steamcanalsobereleasedtotheatmosphere usingthePORVontherupturedsteamgenerator.
Anevaluation ofthepotential radiological consequences shouldbeperformed beforereleasing steamfromtherupturedsteamgenerator totheatmosphere.
Astherupturedsteamgenerator pressureisreduced,theRCSpressureismaintained equaltothepressureintherupturedsteamgenerator inordertopreventin-leakage ofsecondary sidewateroradditional primarytosecondary leakage.Normalpressurizer sprayisthepreferred meansofRCSpressurecontrolsincethisconserves coolantinventory.
Ifpressurizer sprayisnotavailable, apressurizer PORVorauxiliary spraycanbeusedtocontrolRCSpressure.
Whenoverfilloftherupturedsteamgenerator occurs,aswithCase1,guideline ES-3.1POST-SGTR COOLDOWNUSINGBACKFILLisassumedtobeused.ThehighlevelactionsforES-3.1aresimilartoES-3.3.However,themethodbywhichES-3.1instructs theoperatortodepressurize therupturedsteamgenerator differsfromES-3.3.InGuideline ES-3.1theRCSisdepressurized topromotebackflowthroughthefailedtubewhichdepressurizes therupturedsteamgenerator withoutsteamreleasestotheatmosphere.

Therupturedsteamgenerator wasassumedtobedepressurized totheRHRin-service pressureof343psiaviasteamreleasefromtherupturedsteamgenerator PORV,sincethismaximizes thesteamreleasefromrupturedsteamgenerator totheatmosphere whichisconservative fortheevaluation oftheoffsiteradiation doses.TheRCSpressureisalsoassumedtobereducedconcurrently astherupturedsteamgenerator isdepressurized tominimizeflowbetweentheRCSandtherupturedsteamgenerator.

SinceGinnaisatwoloopplant,theintactsteamgenerator PORVmustbelocallyopenedbeforeRCScooldowncanbegin.Thisadditional timetolocallyopentheintactsteamgenerator PORVwilldelayRCSdepressurization, causinganincreaseintotalprimarytosecondary leakage.Consequently, morewaterwillaccumulate inthefaultedsteamgenerator.

Onthisbasis,100%nominalpowerwasassumedfortheanalysisratherthanconsidering anoverpower factor.3.Pressurizer WaterLevelTheRCSdepressurization rateincreases afterthepressurizer empties.Ahigherpressurizer waterlevelwillincreasethetimerequiredforthepressurizer toempty.Thisresultsinmaintaining ahigherprimarytosecondary pressuredifferential andthusalargerbreakflowrateforalongertimeperiod.Therefore, itisconcluded thatmaximizing thepressurizer waterlevelisconservative.
