STEP PCIP-6 1 1 This contingentactionstep
requires the operator to waituntilthe stated conditionhasbeenmet
before continuinginEOI-2.Performance
of subsequent
actionsinthis section ofEOI-2willnot be performed until suppression
chamber pressure exceeds Suppression
Chamber Spray Initiation
Pressure.Engineering
calculations
have determined
that if suppression
chamber pressure exceeds<A.65>, Suppression
Chamber Spray InitiationPressure,thereisno
assurance that chuggingwillbe prevented at downcomer openings ofthedrywellvents.This
value is rounded-o ffintheEOItousetheclosest,most
conservativevaluethatcanbe
accurately
determined
on available instrumentation.
- Suppression
Chamber Spray Initiation
Pressure is definedtobethe lowest suppression
chamber pressurethatcan occur when 95%of noncondensablesinthedrywell
have been transferred
to airspace of the suppression
chamber.Scalemodeltestshave
demonstrated
that chuggingwillnotoccursolongasthe
drywell atmosphere
containsatleast1%noncondensables.
To prevent the occurrence
of conditions
under which chuggingmayhappen, Suppression
Chamber Spray Initiation
Pressure is conservatively
defined by specifying
5%noncondensables
.Chuggingisthe cyclic condensation
ofsteamat downcomer openings of the drywell vents.Chugging occurs when steam bubbles collapseattheexit of downcomers.Therush of water thatfillsthevoid(some
of which is drawnupintothe downcomer pipe)induces a severe stressatthe junction of the downcomer and vent header.Repeated application
of this stresscancausethese
joints to experience
fatiguefailure(cracks),thereby
creating a pathway that bypasses the pressure suppression
function of primary containment.
Subsequent
steam that discharges
through downcomers
wouldthenexit through the fatiguedcracks,and
directly pressurize
suppression
chamberairspace, rather than dischargingtoand condensinginthe suppression
pool.Although operation of suppression
chamber sprays by itselfwillnot prevent chugging, the requirement
to wait to initiate drywell sprays until reaching Suppression
Chamber Spray Initiation
Pressure assures that suppression
chamber spray operation is attempted before operation ofdrywellsprays.
Therefore, actions to initiatedrywellsprays
needtobe directed only if suppression
chambersprayswere
unable to reduce primary containment
pressureorthey couldnotbeinitiated.
