Section 1.3.3 | San Onofre 2&3 FSAR Updated COMPARISON TABLES | ||
: 1. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Section 1.3 provides summary information on plant comparisons, design changes since the PSAR submittal and compliance with NRC regulations that exited at the time of licensing. This information was submitted to the NRC in support of initial plant licensing. This section will be updated to identify the current compliance requirements in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71. Information considered to be historical information is not subject to review or periodic updates. Updated information on design and compliance is found throughout the other sections of this UFSAR. | |||
1.3 COMPARISON TABLES 1.3.1 COMPARISONS WITH SIMILAR FACILITY DESIGNS Tables 1.3-1 and 1.3-2 present a summary of the characteristics of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3. Table 1.3-1 presents similar reactor core and coolant system data for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 and Pilgrim Station, Unit 2. Table 1.3-2 presents similar containment system, engineered safety features, and electrical components data for Farley Units 1 and 2, Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2, Oconee Units 1, 2, and 3, Palisades Unit 1, and Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. | |||
The Arkansas Unit 2 and Pilgrim Station Unit 2 designs were selected for comparison in table 1.3-1 because of the basic similarity of the reactor core and coolant systems. In addition, Arkansas Unit 2 was selected for comparison because this reactor is nearing completion of its operating license application review with the NRC. | |||
1.3.2 COMPARISON OF FINAL AND PRELIMINARY INFORMATION Table 1.3-3 contains a discussion of all significant changes that have been made in plant design since submittal of the PSAR. | |||
1.3.3 TITLE 10, CFR, PARTS 20, 50, AND 100 EVALUATION Table 1.3-4 contains an evaluation of compliance of the plant against 10 CFR, Parts 20, 50, and 100 as they existed on March 2, 1981. Additional information and updates have been included as required by 10 CFR 50.71(e). | |||

: 1. Pipe break 3.6 The present design basis pipe breaks are based on adherence to the recommendations of criteria Branch Technical Position MTEB 3-1 which represents the most up-to-date interpretation of the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.46. These pipe breaks are used in the analyses of subcompartment pressurization, jet impingement, and pipe whip effects. | |||
: 2. Containment 3.8.1 Roof for containment structure was revised from a shallow dome to a hemispherical building dome which alters the interior height of the structure. | |||
Modification of the containment dome design is a design improvement: reduction in material quantities and field labor cost. With the planned configuration change, prestressing method has been revised by use of continuous U-shaped tendons in lieu of separate vertical and dome tendons. There is no effect on nuclear safety-related design. | |||
: 3. Fuel assembly 4.2 The reactor fuel assembly design for San Onofre 2 and 3 has been changed from the 14 design x 14 rod array described in the PSAR to a 16 x 16 array. This change provides a lower linear heat rate and reduces peak clad temperature during a postulated LOCA. | |||
Dimensional characteristics of the 16 x 16 design are shown in table 1.3-1 and the design itself is described in section 4.2. The test programs to demonstrate the adequacy of the San Onofre 2 and 3 16 x 16 design are described in chapter 15. | |||
: 4. CEAs and drive 4.2, 3.9.4, The San Onofre 2 and 3 reactor will employ a total of 91 CEAs and CEDMs. The mechanisms 4.5.1 PSAR design included 69 CEAs and CEDMs. The 91 CEAs of the current design are made up to 79 standard 5-finger CEAs, 4 modified 4-finger CEAs and 8 Inconel/B4C Amended: April 2009 TL: E048002 part-lengths-CEAs. Ninety-one identical CEDMs are employed. For comparison, the 69 CEA design described in the PSAR was composed of 61 standard 5-finger CEAs driven by standard tripping type CEDMs and 8 B4C part-length CEAs driven by nontripping CEDMs. The current CEA design is described in section 4.2.

shims These shims permit lowering of the initial boric acid concentration in the coolant. This provides an additional negative component to the moderator temperature coefficient. | |||
The mechanical design of the burnable poison shims is described in section 4.2. Their nuclear characteristics are described in section 4.3. | |||
: 6. Shutdown cooling 5.4.7 The design of the shutdown cooling system (SCS) was upgraded since the PSAR so that system the SCS could perform its function in spite of any single active component or power failure. This design will provide the following: | |||
A. Availability of the SCS to cool the RCS to cold shutdown conditions, including post-LOCA; B. Protection of the low-pressure safety injection system and SCS from overpressurization. | |||
The major changes which were incorporated to meet the above criteria are outlined below: | |||
A. Parallel bypass lines and valves were added to each shutdown cooling suction isolation valve and to the SCS "warmup" bypass line. | |||
B. Combinations of separate independent interlocks are provided on the shutdown Amended: April 2009 TL: E048002 cooling suction isolation valves to prevent their opening when the RCS pressure is greater than the SCS design conditions. | |||

The hydrogen purge valves remain part of the containment isolation system (see subsection 6.2.4). | |||
: 9. Safety injection 6.3 Provisions were made to manually realign the SIS at several hours post-LOCA to provide system simultaneous hot and cold leg safety injection. The hot leg injection flow path is established from the HPSI pumps discharge header to the drain nozzle and SDC line on the RCS hot legs, respectively. As part of the long-term ECCS operation, the operator will initiate hot leg injection and balance the lines to provide a 50-50% split of the hot and cold leg injection flowrate. This mode of operation is designed to inject the specified amount of flow into the hot legs, condensing the steam and increasing the water level in the intact hot legs. This will induce reverse flushing flow out the cold leg break (for cold leg break only). This flushing action will eliminate the potential buildup of boric acid in the reactor vessel. | |||

System Described Item Reason for Change in FSAR Section Engineered A. The containment purge isolation signal (CPIS) is separated from the plant safety protection system. | |||
feature actuation The purpose of the CPIS is to provide a signal to isolate the purge system of the system containment building in the event of a high radiation level caused by a LOCA or a (cont) high radiation level caused by a fuel handling accident. In the case of the LOCA, protective action is provided by the containment isolation actuation signal (CIAS) initiated on high containment pressure. Since the fuel handling accident can occur only during shutdown periods, it is desirable to make this signal independent of the plant protection system. | |||
B. The addition of EFAS will improve plant safety since the operator will not be required to take immediate action on the auxiliary feedwater system following a large steam line break or loss of feedwater incident. | |||
C. The variable setpoints for low pressurizer pressure and low steam generator pressure improve plant safety since they provide their protective function over a wider range of plant conditions. | |||

San Onofre 2&3 FSAR Updated COMPARISON TABLES
- 1. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT Section 1.3 provides summary information on plant comparisons, design changes since the PSAR submittal and compliance with NRC regulations that exited at the time of licensing. This information was submitted to the NRC in support of initial plant licensing. This section will be updated to identify the current compliance requirements in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71. Information considered to be historical information is not subject to review or periodic updates. Updated information on design and compliance is found throughout the other sections of this UFSAR.
1.3 COMPARISON TABLES 1.3.1 COMPARISONS WITH SIMILAR FACILITY DESIGNS Tables 1.3-1 and 1.3-2 present a summary of the characteristics of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3. Table 1.3-1 presents similar reactor core and coolant system data for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 and Pilgrim Station, Unit 2. Table 1.3-2 presents similar containment system, engineered safety features, and electrical components data for Farley Units 1 and 2, Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2, Oconee Units 1, 2, and 3, Palisades Unit 1, and Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.
The Arkansas Unit 2 and Pilgrim Station Unit 2 designs were selected for comparison in table 1.3-1 because of the basic similarity of the reactor core and coolant systems. In addition, Arkansas Unit 2 was selected for comparison because this reactor is nearing completion of its operating license application review with the NRC.
1.3.2 COMPARISON OF FINAL AND PRELIMINARY INFORMATION Table 1.3-3 contains a discussion of all significant changes that have been made in plant design since submittal of the PSAR.
1.3.3 TITLE 10, CFR, PARTS 20, 50, AND 100 EVALUATION Table 1.3-4 contains an evaluation of compliance of the plant against 10 CFR, Parts 20, 50, and 100 as they existed on March 2, 1981. Additional information and updates have been included as required by 10 CFR 50.71(e).

- 1. Pipe break 3.6 The present design basis pipe breaks are based on adherence to the recommendations of criteria Branch Technical Position MTEB 3-1 which represents the most up-to-date interpretation of the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.46. These pipe breaks are used in the analyses of subcompartment pressurization, jet impingement, and pipe whip effects.
- 2. Containment 3.8.1 Roof for containment structure was revised from a shallow dome to a hemispherical building dome which alters the interior height of the structure.
Modification of the containment dome design is a design improvement: reduction in material quantities and field labor cost. With the planned configuration change, prestressing method has been revised by use of continuous U-shaped tendons in lieu of separate vertical and dome tendons. There is no effect on nuclear safety-related design.
- 3. Fuel assembly 4.2 The reactor fuel assembly design for San Onofre 2 and 3 has been changed from the 14 design x 14 rod array described in the PSAR to a 16 x 16 array. This change provides a lower linear heat rate and reduces peak clad temperature during a postulated LOCA.
Dimensional characteristics of the 16 x 16 design are shown in table 1.3-1 and the design itself is described in section 4.2. The test programs to demonstrate the adequacy of the San Onofre 2 and 3 16 x 16 design are described in chapter 15.
- 4. CEAs and drive 4.2, 3.9.4, The San Onofre 2 and 3 reactor will employ a total of 91 CEAs and CEDMs. The mechanisms 4.5.1 PSAR design included 69 CEAs and CEDMs. The 91 CEAs of the current design are made up to 79 standard 5-finger CEAs, 4 modified 4-finger CEAs and 8 Inconel/B4C Amended: April 2009 TL: E048002 part-lengths-CEAs. Ninety-one identical CEDMs are employed. For comparison, the 69 CEA design described in the PSAR was composed of 61 standard 5-finger CEAs driven by standard tripping type CEDMs and 8 B4C part-length CEAs driven by nontripping CEDMs. The current CEA design is described in section 4.2. The CEDM design is described in subsections 3.9.4 and 4.5.1.

- 5. Burnable poison 4.2, 4.3 Burnable poison shims have been added to the fuel assemblies replacing some fuel.
shims These shims permit lowering of the initial boric acid concentration in the coolant. This provides an additional negative component to the moderator temperature coefficient.
The mechanical design of the burnable poison shims is described in section 4.2. Their nuclear characteristics are described in section 4.3.
- 6. Shutdown cooling 5.4.7 The design of the shutdown cooling system (SCS) was upgraded since the PSAR so that system the SCS could perform its function in spite of any single active component or power failure. This design will provide the following:
A. Availability of the SCS to cool the RCS to cold shutdown conditions, including post-LOCA; B. Protection of the low-pressure safety injection system and SCS from overpressurization.
The major changes which were incorporated to meet the above criteria are outlined below:
A. Parallel bypass lines and valves were added to each shutdown cooling suction isolation valve and to the SCS "warmup" bypass line.
B. Combinations of separate independent interlocks are provided on the shutdown Amended: April 2009 TL: E048002 cooling suction isolation valves to prevent their opening when the RCS pressure is greater than the SCS design conditions.

- 8. Hydrogen purge 6.2.5 SONGS was granted an exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR 50.44 and system 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 41. As a result, the hydrogen purge system is no longer part of the SONGS 2/3 design basis. See subsection 6.2.5 for details.
The hydrogen purge valves remain part of the containment isolation system (see subsection 6.2.4).
- 9. Safety injection 6.3 Provisions were made to manually realign the SIS at several hours post-LOCA to provide system simultaneous hot and cold leg safety injection. The hot leg injection flow path is established from the HPSI pumps discharge header to the drain nozzle and SDC line on the RCS hot legs, respectively. As part of the long-term ECCS operation, the operator will initiate hot leg injection and balance the lines to provide a 50-50% split of the hot and cold leg injection flowrate. This mode of operation is designed to inject the specified amount of flow into the hot legs, condensing the steam and increasing the water level in the intact hot legs. This will induce reverse flushing flow out the cold leg break (for cold leg break only). This flushing action will eliminate the potential buildup of boric acid in the reactor vessel.

- 10. Reactor 7.2 The reactor protective system described in the PSAR has been expanded and some portions protective modified in order to provide automatic protection against axial xenon oscillations and to system implement design improvements.
A. The following changes were made to meet the requirement for automatic protection against axial xenon oscillations:
- 1. The high local power density trip is added;
- 2. The thermal margin/low pressure trip is replaced by the low DNBR trip;
- 3. The core protection calculators (CPCs) are added to provide the high local power density and low DNBR trips and the thermal margin/low pressure calculator is eliminated.
B. As a consequence of the above addition of the CPCs the following design changes are implemented:
- 1. The low reactor coolant flow trip function is incorporated into the low DNBR and high LPD trip.
- 2. Reactor coolant flowrate is calculated by use of reactor coolant pump speed vice being inferred by differential pressure measurements;
- 4. Variable overpower trip (VOPT) function is incorporated into the low DNBR and Amended: April 2009 TL: E048002 high LPD trips.
C. A high logarithmic power level trip has replaced the high rate of change of power trip in order to provide improved protection against inadvertent boron dilution. It also addresses the unplanned withdrawal of CEAs as the previous trip did.

System Described Item Reason for Change in FSAR Section Engineered A. The containment purge isolation signal (CPIS) is separated from the plant safety protection system.
feature actuation The purpose of the CPIS is to provide a signal to isolate the purge system of the system containment building in the event of a high radiation level caused by a LOCA or a (cont) high radiation level caused by a fuel handling accident. In the case of the LOCA, protective action is provided by the containment isolation actuation signal (CIAS) initiated on high containment pressure. Since the fuel handling accident can occur only during shutdown periods, it is desirable to make this signal independent of the plant protection system.
B. The addition of EFAS will improve plant safety since the operator will not be required to take immediate action on the auxiliary feedwater system following a large steam line break or loss of feedwater incident.
C. The variable setpoints for low pressurizer pressure and low steam generator pressure improve plant safety since they provide their protective function over a wider range of plant conditions.

Regulation Compliance (10CFR) 50.39 This regulation provides that applications and related documents may be made available for public inspection. This imposes no direct obligations on applicants and licensees.
50.40 This regulation provides considerations to "guide" the Commission in granting licenses, as follows:
50.40(a) The design and operation of the facility is to provide reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered. The basis for SCE's assurance that the regulations will be met and the public protected is contained in this document and in the license application and the related correspondence over the years. Moreover, the lengthy process by which the plant is designed, constructed, and reviewed, including reviews by the architect-engineer, the NSSS vendor, the Southern California Edison staff, the NRC Staff, and the ACRS provides a great deal of assurance that the public health and safety will not be endangered.
50.40(b) This regulation requires that the applicant be both technically and financially qualified to engage in the proposed activities as specified in the license application. The appointed hearing board will determine the level of technical and financial adequacy of SCE during hearings at the operating license stage.
50.40(c) The issuance of a license to the applicant will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. The individual showings of compliance with particular regulations contained in this section as well as the contents of the FSAR and related correspondence on the record, plus the lengthy process of design, construction, and review by SCE, the architect-engineer, the NSSS vendor, and the government ensure that the license will not be inimical to the health and safety of the public. Compliance with the requirements in 10CFR50.40(a) demonstrate that a license will not be inimical to the common defense and security.
50.40(d) The requirements set forth in this regulation have been satisfied in that Environmental Reports have been submitted in accordance with 10CFR51 as part of the operating license application.
50.41 This regulation applies to Class 104 licensees, such as those for devices used in medical therapy. SCE has not applied for a Class 104 license, and therefore 50.41 is not applicable.

Regulation Compliance (10CFR) 50.42 This regulation requires the Commission to consider additional standards in determining whether or not a license should be issued; i.e., 1) that the proposed activities will serve a useful purpose proportionate to the quantities of special nuclear material or source material to be utilized and 2) that due account will be taken of the anti-trust advice provided by the Attorney General. Information pertinent to these standards was made known to the Commission at the construction permit stage 1) by the licensing board verification of the need for power and 2) by the Attorney General's satisfactory review of the anti-trust information.
50.43 This regulation imposes certain duties on the NRC and addresses the applicability of the Federal Power Act and the right of government agencies to obtain NRC licenses. It imposes no direct obligations on licensees.
50.44 SONGS was granted an exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR 50.44 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criterion 41. See subsection 6.2.5 for further details.
50.45 This regulation provides standards for construction permits rather than operating licenses and is therefore not pertinent to this operating license proceeding.
50.46 FSAR section 6.3 describes the emergency core cooling system and the methods used to analyze ECCS performance following the course of an accident. The result of the loss-of-coolant accident analysis presented in FSAR section 15.6 demonstrate conformance with 50.46.
50.47 This regulation provides standards for onsite and offsite emergency plans, refers to the requirements of Appendix (E), and establishes the requirement for FEMA review and NRC approval of the plans prior to issuance of an operating license. Emergency plans have been submitted and are in final stages of review and approval by FEMA/NRC. (Refer to NUREG-0712, Section 13.3, and Supplement 1, page 22-126).
50.48 This regulation imposes requirements for a fire protection plan that satisfies Criterion 3 of Appendix (A) of 10CFR50 and makes reference to Appendix (R) as defining the fire protection features required to satisfy the criterion.
By NRC memorandum and order (CLI-80-21), this rule is not applicable to San Onofre 2 and 3 in its entirety but that the specific requirements III G, III J and III 0 of Appendix (R) must be implemented on a schedule approved by NRC. SCE has committed to make the required modifications and thereby complies with this rule as modified by CLI-80-21.

Appendix K This appendix specifies features of acceptable ECCS evaluation models. As stated in FSAR section 6.3, the ECCS subsystem functional parameters are integrated so that the Appendix K requirements are met over the range of anticipated accidents and single failure assumptions. In addition, the ECCS evaluation model used to demonstrate conformance with 10CFR50.46 (see FSAR section 15.6) is in conformance with Appendix K requirements.
Appendix L This appendix identifies the information required to be submitted by the applicant to the Attorney General to satisfy the requirements when applying for a facility operating license. The requirements of this appendix were satisfied at the time of application for the operating license.
Appendix M This appendix lists guidelines for the licensing of plants whose site requirements are not considered in the design of the plant structures. Since the site is considered in the plant design, this appendix is not applicable.
Appendix N This appendix dictates the requirements applicable to duplicate plant designs on multiple sites. Since both units are on a common site this appendix is not applicable.
Appendix O Appendix O dictates guidelines for the Staff in reviewing standardization of design. No independent obligation on the licensee is required.
Appendix P Reserved.
Appendix Q Appendix Q dictates guidelines for the Staff in review of early review of site and does not deal with operating license review.
Appendix R This appendix specifies features of an acceptable fire protection program for nuclear generating stations operating prior to January 1, 1979 except to the extent set forth in Section 50.48(b). Guidance contained in Appendix A to BTP 9.5-1 and the requirements set forth in 50.48 define the essential elements for an acceptable fire protection program at nuclear power plants docketed for construction permits prior to July 1, 1976. SCE has submitted its fire protection program for NRC evaluation and the NRC has concluded that the program will satisfy the applicable requirements of this appendix.
100.1 This regulation is explanatory and does not impose independent obligations on licensees.
100.2 This regulation is explanatory. San Onofre 2 and 3 is not novel in design and is not unproven as a prototype or pilot plant.
100.3 This regulation is explanatory and does not impose independent obligations on licensees.

Regulation Compliance (10CFR) 100.10 The factors listed related to both the unit design and the site have been provided in the application. Site specifics, including seismology, meteorology, geology, and hydrology, are presented in chapter 2 of the FSAR. The exclusion area, low population zone, and population center distance are provided and described. The FSAR also describes the characteristics of reactor design and operation.
100.11 Exclusion areas have been established, as described in FSAR section 2.1.
The low population zone for each unit has been established in accordance with this requirement.
100.11 The FSAR accident analyses, particularly those in chapters 6 and 15, demonstrate that offsite doses resulting from postulated accidents would not exceed the criteria in this section of the regulation.
Appendix A Appendix A to 10CFR Part 100 provides seismic and geologic siting criteria for nuclear power plants. The Commission is in the process of determining the acceptability of San Onofre 2 and 3 on the seismic and geologic siting.
