1.1 Purpose and Scope
This document provides an overview of the Main Steam & Feedwater Isolation System (MSFIS) Controls Replacement Project at Wolf Creek Generating Station. The main purpose of the document is to provide information regarding the proposed replacement controls system. The proposed controls system is based on the Advanced Logic System architecture from the Arizona based company 'CS Innovations, LLC'. Wolf Creek has partnered with CS Innovations to utilize the ALS platform for the replacement MSFIS Controls.1.2 Overview The purpose of the MSFIS Controls Replacement Project is to replace the existing Consolidated Controls Corporation MSFIS controls system with a controls system based on the ALS. The replacement installation is schedule for Refueling Outage 16, Spring 2008. The MSFIS Controls Replacement Project is one aspect of an overall project at Wolf Creek Generating Station to replace the existing Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) bodies and actuators as well as the Main Feedwater Isolation Valve (MFIV) bodies and actuators. The existing MSFIS controls do not support the operation of the replacement MSIV and MFIV actuators. A modified or replacement controls system is required to operate the new valve actuators. In addition to the lack of capability, the existing MSFIS controls is based on obsolete technology that has become less reliable as the system ages. The existing MSFIS controls has failed multiple times in the past several years; causing a plant trip in August 2003, and two failures which caused near plant trips in early 2006. Several single points of failure exist in the existing MSFIS controls.The MSFIS Controls Replacement Project replaces the existing Consolidated Controls system with an ALS. The ALS provides several advantages over the existing system; 1) High reliability and integrity, no single point of failure will cause a false actuation.
- 2) Testing capabilities of the ALS reduce the manual testing required in the existing system. 3) The ALS is a modular and scalable system, which allows the ALS to target multiple systems from small single rack applications to large multi-rack applications.
The system replacements can be implemented in a system by system approach.
- 4) Eliminates current obsolescence issues and is based on technologies to mitigate future obsolescence.
- 5) Diagnostics capabilities in the ALS allow for simple maintenance and troubleshooting.
1.3 Document Organization The document is organized into four sections.Section 1 -provides an introduction of the project as well as references, acronyms, and specific ALS definitions. Section 2 -provides the reader with a background on the existing Consolidated Control Corporation system, which is currently installed at Wolf Creek for the MSFIS Controls.Section 3 -provides an overview description of the ALS.Section 4 -provides a summary of the ALS implementation for MSFIS Controls at Wolf Creek.1.4 References [1 ] Specification J- 105A (Q) for Replacement MSFIS System, Wolf Creek Generating Station[2] ALS Level 1 Specification, CS Innovations, LLC[3] MSFIS Level 1 Specification, CS Innovations, LLC 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 4 of 36 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 4 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 1.5 Acronyms, Units of Measure and Designations The following table defines pertinent acronyms used in this document.Acronym Definition ALS Advanced Logic System -the CS Innovation hardware architecture platform[[CRC Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a type of hash function used to produce a checksum -a small, fixed number of bits -against a block of data, such as a packet of network traffic or a block of information. The checksum is used to detect errors after transmission or storage. A CRC is computed and appended before transmission or storage, and verified afterwards by recipient to confirm that no changes occurred on transit.EMC Electro-Magnetic Compatibility EMI Electro-Magnetic Interference I I FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array I I MCB Main Control Board MOV Metal Oxide Varistor MSFIS Main Steam and Feed Water Isolation System[][ I RFI Radio Frequency Interference [I ][I I TVS Transient Voltage Suppressor (Zener diode)The following table defines pertinent units and measurements used in this document.91 00-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 5 of 36 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 5 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 1.6 ALS Hardware Components and Definitions Definition of ALS related terms: " A board (also knows as circuit boards/cards/modules/PCB) refers to a printed circuit board (PCB). All boards have a front-plate attached on the front-edge and (male) connectors on the back-edge to connect the board to the back-plane. Each board has 1 FPGA and several support components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, analog and digital ICs such as voltage regulators/voltage supervisors/74xxx drivers/etc, as well as the necessary connectors and LEDs).o A channel is the term used for the circuit, which independently can measure/detect a field inputs, or control/drive an outputs. A board typically has a number of channels: 4, 8, 16 or 32 channels per board." A rack contains a number of boards (also knows as cards/modules/parts/PCB). o The front of a rack is referred to as the front-panel, and is implemented with a number of customizable and application specific front-plates (also referred to as face-plates). Front-plates are attached to the boards, and when all boards are inserted they will comprise a complete front-panel. Front-plates, not attached to any boards, can be inserted to complete the front-panel. They are referred to as spacers or name-plates. Latching injection/ejection handles mounted on the front-plates provide a locking mechanism to fasten and secure the boards in the racks.o The external rear of a rack is referred to as the rear-panel. All wiring to and from the rack is done through the rear-panel using rear-panel connectors. o An application specific back-plane is attached to the rear-panel. The back-plane connects the rear-panel connectors (facing away from the rack) to the board connectors (facing into the rack)." Rack inputs and outputs are referred to as signals. Typically an input or output signal consist of a 2-wire connection with the signal and its return. The term input and output are always referenced from the ALS rack perspective." An Assembly Panel typically contains a number of terminal blocks, fuse blocks, EMI filters, relays as well as all associated wiring." Field inputs and outputs are used to specify the signals entering or exiting the cabinet and are typically connected to a terminal-block located in the cabinet. Field inputs/outputs are typically connected directly to the ALS rack, but can also be connected to components located on the assembly panel." A cabinet may house multiple racks as well as a number of assembly panels.9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 6 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 2 Existing MSFIS Controls This section provides a summary overview of the existing MSFIS Controls. The purpose of this section is to provide the reader with a high level understanding of the system to be replaced.The existing system is the original controls installed during plant construction. The control system was designed and built by Consolidated Controls Corporation (CCC).2.1 Existing MSFIS Controls Description The existing system provides outputs to energize or de-energize control solenoids, which operate the plant's Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) and Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs). The existing system is divided into two actuation channels, which are totally independent. Each of the two independent actuation channels monitor system inputs and, by means of logic matrices, energize or de-energize the required solenoids for the appropriate valve operations. Except for the electro-mechanical relays used as the final output devices, the circuitry is a solid-state design.The existing system accepts input signals, in the form of contact conditions, from control switches located on the main control board. The system also accepts inputs from rotary switches on the system's test panel, from outputs relays in the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System, and from valve limit switches.The existing system has a test panel located in the front of each of the cabinets. The test panel provides manual input for placing the system into predefined logic states for the purpose of testing the system.Each of the two independent actuation channels, Separation Groups I and IV, contain control circuitry for four (4) MSIV's and four (4) MFIV's, 2.2 Existing MSFIS Controls Overview 2.2.1 Board Overview The existing system architecture has three types of boards: 1. Input Buffer Module 2. Valve Control Module 3. Relay Driver Input Buffer Module -The purpose of the input buffer is to accept input signals from field devices. The input buffer module contains three independent circuits.
- 1) Input circuitry, signal conditioning, which is connected through a cable to remote plant devices. 2) Output circuitry that produces a digital logic signal for output to the valve control module. 3) Isolation circuitry provides the required isolation between the field signal and the digital signal to the valve control module. The input buffer module is built from both analog and digital discrete components.
The individual components are soldered onto a PCB.Valve Control Module -The purpose of the valve control module is to provide the required logic for operating a particular valve based on the data from the input buffer module. The valve control module, which is associated with each valve control loop, is the main logic control element in the loop. The valve control module consists mostly of discrete digital components. The individual components are wire-wrapped onto a perforated board.Relay Driver Module -The purpose of the relay driver is to energize and de-energize the interposing relays used to control the valve solenoids. The relay driver has three keys functions;
- 1) receive a logic command and energize or de-energize the interposing relay. 2) Maintain isolation between input circuitry.
- 3) Current limit the relay driver output when short-circuited, The relay driver is built from both analog and digital discrete components.
The individual components are soldered onto a PCB.9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 7 of36 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 7 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 2.2.2 Architecture Overview The existing system is configured such that there is one valve control module for each actuation channel of each valve.Therefore, there are a total of 16 valve control modules between both actuation channels. A valve control loop provides the complete set of boards the control of a particular valve for one actuation channel. The valve control loop conists of three input buffer modules, one valve control module, and two relay drivers. In total the existing system contains 48 boards split into 3 racks for each actuation channel. Figure 2 is an excerpt from a WCGS drawing showing the valve control loop for a particular valve.The drawing also shows the interposing relays as well as the test panel.The boards are housed in a 19" CCC proprietary rack. There are three racks in each of the individual cabinets. The boards are interconnected by a wire-wrapped "back-plane" in each rack. The interconnection is specific for this particular application. --s 1 Al 37. x 12 Do 41. 51111 61, .1 j;. .&-I If jj. .1 n, I Al j1. A9 DO. 86 IA.j;. III I IA143.

The ALS is a universal platform which targets safety critical control systems, where reliability and integrity are of the highest importance. The ALS is a logic based platform which does not utilize a microprocessor or software for operation, but instead relies on a simple hardware platform.The platform incorporates advanced features to allow for diagnostics, testability, and modularity. The ALS platform is designed to be at the appropriate level of complexity to achieve high reliability and integrity as well as allow enough flexibility to target multiple safety critical applications within a given plant. Diagnostics and testing capabilities are designed into the ALS platform to ensure there is a systematic approach to maintaining and testing the system.3.1 Characteristics of the ALS[a,c,e 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 9 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 3.2 ALS Architecture Overview[a,c,e.I Page 10 of 36 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 3.3 ALS Board Overview[a,c,e 9100-00003-NP Cs Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 11 of36 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 11 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 12 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 13 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 14 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 15 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary I 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 16 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 3.4 ALS Operation[a,c,e I 3.5 ALS Technology [a,c,e 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 17 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 18 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 19 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary I 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 20 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 3.6 ALS Benefits[a,c,e 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 21 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary I 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 22 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4 MSFIS Overview 4.1 Scope of ALS-MSFIS Replacement The scope of the MSFIS project is to replace the existing MSFIS controls, with a control system based on the Advanced Logic System (ALS) technology. [a,c,e I The replacement system will replace the existing hardware in both MSFIS cabinets, SA075A and SA075B. After replacement, each cabinet will contain the following components: [a,c,e The replacement project will implement new digital control systems, new power supplies, new assembly panels and new vendor wiring.The replacement project will retain without modifications, the existing cabinets including mechanical structures used to mount racks and components, field-wiring and terminal blocks within the cabinets.The replacement project will modify the functionality of the current MSFIS (per J-105A (Q) Rev. 2 requirements) [1]. This will include changes to the functions by which the Replacement MSFIS controls the replacement MSIVs and MFIVs. These changes account for the differences in the function of the existing and replacement MSIVs and MIFIVs, that is, electro-pneumatic-hydraulic actuators, replaced by system-medium actuators. The replacement project will not re-use existing electronic boards, sub-racks, interconnecting wiring/cables, fuse blocks, circuit breakers, test panel, switches, indicators, power supplies, actuation relays, assembly panels; within the MSFIS cabinets. Nor will the replacement project include the actual installation of the replacement MSFIS components in the MSFIS Cabinets, the new system-medium MSIV / MFIV actuators or any of the field cables.In summary, the replacement project will provide a complete set of MSFIS controls, which can be installed in existing racks, replacing the existing control system. An overview of the replacement MSFIS can be seen in Figure 1.9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 23 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary[a,c,e I Figure 1: MSFIS Overview CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information 9100-00003-NP Page 24 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.2 System Overview The current channel separation scheme applied to the overall plant design will be maintained. The two redundant and equivalent MSFIS subsystems will be located in separate cabinets: " MSFIS Channel I (Separation Group 1) located in MSFIS Cabinet SA075A -also referred to as train A." MSFIS Channel IV (Separation Group 4) located in MSFIS Cabinet SA075B -also referred to as train B.The MSFIS functionally is divided into 2 independent functions:
- MSIV control -The MSIV control receives the automatic actuation Steam Line Isolation Signal (SLIS) to close the MSIVs. Main Steam Line Isolation minimizes the uncontrolled cool down of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) that would result from a main steam line rupture. Input signals pass from the detectors through the Solid State Protection System (SSPS) to the MSFIS cabinet where the output signal is generated to close the valves.* MFIV control -The MFIV control receives the automatic actuation Feedwater Isolation Signal (FWIS) to close the MFIVs. The Feedwater isolation minimizes the potential for excessive post-trip cool down of the RCS due to overfilling the steam generators.
It also prevents moisture carryover caused by high steam generator levels, and isolates normal Feedwater in the event of a High Energy Line Break inside containment. Input signals pass from the detectors through the Solid State Protection System (SSPS) to the MSFIS cabinet where the output signal is generated to close the valves.The MSFIS provides the control logic for a total of 8 valve!M 4 Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIV#1-4): AB-HV-14, AB-HV-17, AB-HV-20, AB-HV-11.E 4 Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIV#1-4): AE-FV-39, AE-FV-40, AE-FV-41, AE-FV-42.Both separation groups actuate the same Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) and Main Feedwater Isolation Valve (MIFIV).The replacement Main Steam and Feedwater Isolation valves are operated by system-medium. The valve actuators are controlled by pressure from the system-medium, which are in turn controlled by solenoid valves. Each Main Steam and Feedwater isolation valve has one actuator with two separate Class lE electrical systems capable of closing the valve independently of the other system.MSFIS is provided with operator inputs from Main Control Board (MCB) switches, ESFAS actuation signals from SSPS, valve position switches, and a local operator panel. Figure 2 provides an overview of the inputs and outputs for the MSFIS.[a,c,e I Figure 2: MSFIS Input/Output Logical Overview 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 25 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.3 System Inputs/Outputs This section provides the description of the MSFIS Inputs/Outputs. 4.3.1 Manual Actuation (ALLCLOSE, CLOSE, OPEN)MSIV MFIV ALLCLOSE ALLCLOSE ALLCLOSE ALLCLOSE SA075A SA075B SA075A SA075B AB-HS-80 AB-HS-79 AE-HS-80 AE-HS-81 F6P E PE LiOEIEI1 LiCEýi LOM-N] EoE7 FOE OPENI RRII~ ---i ----- --]AB-HIS-14 AB-HIS-17 AB-HIS-20 AB-HIS-11 AE-HIS-39 AE-HIS-40 AE-HIS-41 AE-HIS-42 Figure 3: Overview of MSFIS related MCB Switches.4.3.1.1 Main Steam Line Isolation -Manual initiated The Main Control Board (MCB) has a number of pushbutton hand switches dedicated to MSIV (See Figure 3): " AB-HS-80 (SA075A) for Train A and AB-HS-79 (SA075B) for Train B.Momentary PUSH-TO-MAKE style hand switches: Cutler-Hammer (E30-AA with two KLA3 contact blocks).Two MSIV ALLCLOSE push-button hand switches are used for simultaneous redundant close control of all 4 MSIVs.One hand switch provides an input signal to the MS-rack in cabinet SA075A (Sep.Grp.1), and the other hand switch provides an input signal to the MS-rack in cabinet SA075B (Sep.Grp.4).

Each switch is capable of switching between two-positions: Left position (OPERATE) and right position (BYPASS).Each BYPASS switch is associated to a specific valve, i.e. BYPASS #1 relates to AB-HV-14(MS) or AE-FV-39(FW). Bypass is related to the process of forcing the control system into a state, where all inputs to the associated valve are ignored.This is typically done while testing is being performed during maintenance. Outputs from the operator switch circuit on the ALS-201 board is 4 OPERATE signals associated to each of the 4 valves controlled by the rack. These signals will be used by the logic module to force the system into OPERATE or BYPASS mode.4.3.4 Operator Status information (STATUS, BYPASS, ALARM)STATUS ALARM SA075A (0 0 0 09 SA075B 0 0 00 0 0(9 D 0 D SA075A SA075B MSIV MFIV Figure 7: MCB Status Panel 4.3.4.1 Annunciator Output (ALARM)The ALARM output, also referred to as 'annunciator output' or 'trouble alarm' is implemented with an NO dry-contact.

Each cabinet has two separate trouble alarm outputs -one alarm from the MS-rack and one alarm from the FW-rack. In total the MSFIS provides 4 alarm outputs from the 2 cabinets.External Riley alarm-circuit will combine the 2 alarms (MS and FW alarm signals) from one cabinet into one common alarm per cabinet -referred to as "SA075A TROUBLE" for the SA075A cabinet, and similarly "SA075B TROUBLE" for the SA075B cabinet. Note: The Alarm circuit is not valve or system specific.The ALARM output is a dry-contact with 125VDC applied across the contacts; the current is < 25mA.4.3.4.2 Status Information Output (STATUS)Status Outputs -one status output shall be provided for each actuation train for each valve. The MSFIS status output will supply 125 Volt DC power to an input relay in the SA066A Status Panel cabinet. Since there are eight valves in the system and 2 trains (A&B), the MSFIS will provide a total of 16 status outputs.The STATUS output is a closed contact during normal system operation, the closed contact provides 125VDC, <25mA to Status Panel Relay. The ALS utilizes an NO solid-state relay for interfacing to the Status Panel. The solid-state relay is energized in normal operation. The 4 MS and 4 FW status outputs generated in SA075A are passed to the SA066A status panel, and the 4 MS and 4 FW status outputs generated in SA075B are passed to the SA066B status panel. The STATUS panel logic use inputs from multiple systems to show the final status of the MSFIS controls for a particular valve. SA066A use the following color code on the status panel lamps: Lamp indiatio6n MSFIS controls Valve Contact Feedback RED light STATUS De-energized Don't care (The particular valve of the particular train is inoperable). White light STATUS Energized Valve closed OFF (The particular valve of the particular train is operable). Valve open 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 28 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.3.4.3 SSPS Testing Output (BYPASS)To support the SSPS slave relay testing, a NO dry-contact relay output -labeled BYPASS is provided. The relay provides a dry-contact to the SSPS test circuitry used during slave relay testing. There are a total of 16 outputs from MSFIS to SSPS.The BYPASS contact energizes a relay coil (P&B MDR-66-4) in the Safeguards Test Cabinet (STC) and provides the Safeguards Test Circuit (STC) with a permissive. STC will apply I l8VAC and the current is expected to be in the 0.38A range, and the power is not expected to exceed 12 watts.The ALS system will provide a NO-style solid-state-relay, which is de-energized in normal state (and energized in bypass state).4.3.5 Solenoid Output (A, B, C)MSFIS provide output signals to control the valve actuator solenoids. There are three primary signals for controlling a particular actuator; A, B, and C.The MSFIS provides 3 (A, B, C) outputs per valve, per train for both MSIVs and MFIVs.Actuators are divided into two "sides". Each side is controlled by three pilot valves labeled MV1, MV3, and MV5 for one side, and MV2, MV4, and MV6 for the other side. The three MSFIS outputs associated with each side of each valve are likewise identified as outputs MVI, MV3, and MV5 for one side, and MV2, MV4, and MV6 for the other side. See the relationship between solenoids and pilot valves in Figure 11.The MSFIS ALS-rack applies the full 125VDC supply voltage to energize the solenoids. 4.3.6 Valve Status Information (VFO/VFC)Each valve provides 2 types of feedback to the MSFIS: " Valve Full Open (VFO) contact" Valve Full Close (VFC) contact One set of valve-indicator-contacts are provided per valve per train. Hence, a total of 16 VFO contacts and 16 VCO contacts provide feedback to the MSFIS cabinets. Each rack (MS or FW) will receive 4 VFO and 4 VFC signals.Both VFO and VFC contacts are Normal Closed (NC) contacts -a closed VFO contact indicates an open valve, and a closed VFC contact indicates a closed valve.Both valve indicators can never be closed at the same time, but the valve indicators can be open at the same time while the valve is opening or closing. System logic will assert an alarm in case the indicators provide 'conflicting' information for more than 60 sec.91 00-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 29 of 36 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 29 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary[a,c,e I Figure 8: MSFIS 10 summary 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 30 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.4 Valve and Actuator Functional Description The valve actuators are of the System Medium operated Actuator (SMA) type made by CCI, AG of Winterthur, Switzerland. The actuators are controlled by 6 solenoid operated pilot valves. The pilot valves are used to pressurize and de-pressurize the Upper and Lower Piston Chambers (UPC and LPC respectively). The solenoids are arranged into two identical separation groups, I and IV. Separation Group I solenoids are designated to pilot valves MV1, MV3, and MV5. Separation Group IV solenoids are designated to pilot valves MV2, MV4, and MV6. Figure 4.1 below illustrates the valve, actuator, and solenoid valves.M-1 -2 LECEN Figure 9: Valve, Actuator, and Solenoids Valves Figure 10: CCI illustration of the vent-ports 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 31 of36 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 31 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.4.1 Pilot Valve and Solenoid Description Solenoids, controlling the MV1 -MV6 pilot valves, are named A, B, and C. The pilot valves have been designed as 2-position, 3-connection valves with ports A, B, and C. They correspond to the pilot valves as follows: Solenoid-Sep.Grp. 1 Pilot Valves Sep.Grp. 4 Pilot Valves A MV1 MV2 B MV3 MV4 C MV5 MV6 Figure 11: Solenoid and pilot-valve relationship MV 1 and MV2 are normally open (de-energized) pilot valves; MV3 and MV4 are normally open (de-energized) pilot valves with vent port C plugged. MV5 is a normally open (de-energized) pilot valve with vent port C plugged. MV6 is a normally closed (de-energized) pilot valve.All solenoids are the same type with the same specification. To energize the coil the MSFIS must apply 125VDC across the two terminals. The coil has a very high inductance -approximately 40-60 Henry, depending on state of the solenoid. Coil resistance is approximately 12592 at operation temperature, i.e. the energizing current is approximately 1 ampere.4.4.2 Actuator Normal Operating Modes When actuating the gate valves for normal operation there are three modes that the valves will assume as they receive inputs from the MSFIS. The three modes are as follows: " KEEP OPEN" CLOSING" KEEP CLOSED These operating modes are caused by energizing and de-energizing solenoids, thus opening and closing the pilot valves.4.4.2.1 KEEPOPEN The open mode is used to open the main valve and keep it open. Once opened, the main valve will remain open until a close command is received or system pressure drops below the amount needed to keep the valve open.The initial condition of the valve is closed with the upper and lower piston chambers pressurized to system pressure.Upon receipt of an open command, the control system causes MV 1, MV2, MV3, and MV4 to be energized, and MV5 and MV6 to be de-energized. MV3 and MV4 then isolate the UPC from the system pressure. MV1 and MV2 vent the UPC through the drain manifold. MV5 and MV6 vent the LPC through the drain manifold.As UPC pressure decreases the force available to keep the valve closed decreases. (The actuator's net closing force is the difference between the UPC and LPC pressures acting on the piston area.) When the force of the system pressure acting on the valve stem area exceeds the actuator net closing force and friction forces the valve will travel to its open position.Once the valve has fully opened, the UPC and LPC are kept vented, and the valve will remain open.The minimum system pressure needed for the valve to open and stay open is approximately 50 psig. However, the actual pressure required can vary somewhat.4.4.2.2 CLOSING When a close command is received, the control system de-energizes MV 1, MV2, MV3, and MV4. MV5 and MV6 remain de-energized. MV3 and MV4 de-isolate the UPC from system pressure, and MV1 and MV2 direct the system medium to the UPC.When the force from the UPC is greater than the valve's static friction and the opening force on the valve stem the valve will start to travel closed. When the UPC pressure reaches 41% of system pressure for MSIVs, or 34% of system pressure for MFIVs, the main valve will have traveled fully closed. The UPC pressure will continue to increase to system pressure. The UPC pressure to system pressure ratio is calculated to take into account the friction coefficient and the forces generated by system medium flowing through the valve during closing.4.4.2.3 KEEP CLOSED After a 1-minute time delay, from entering the Closing mode, MV5 and MV6 are energized. The LPC is connected to the system pressure, so pressure is equalized between the UPC, LPC, and valve body, and leakage past internal seals is minimized. The main valve will remain closed due to the disc to seat friction force and the weight of the discs, stem, and piston.9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 32 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.4.3 Actuator Maintenance Operating Modes MSIVs and MFIVs can be opened and closed using air or nitrogen instead of system fluid. An auxiliary medium is normally used only when system pressure is too low to operate the main valve (from 0 psig to less than approximately 50 psig). Valve strokes with the auxiliary medium may be done by locally causing the control system to energize or de-energize the solenoid operated pilot valves as required, or by manually positioning (gagging) the solenoid operated pilot valves to the required positions. 4.4.3.1 Opening with Auxiliary Medium The auxiliary medium is connected to the actuator's auxiliary medium connection. MVI, MV2, MV3, and MV4 are 'opened' (de-energized) and MV5 and MV6 are 'closed' (energized) by the control system.This line-up vents the UPC and isolates the LPC from the drain manifold. Open the auxiliary medium supply valve to pressurize the LPC and open the main valve. A check valve is located between the valve body and MV6 to prevent auxiliary medium flow into the valve body.To keep the main valve in the open position, maintain the above line-up.Auxiliary medium pressure needed to open the main valve may vary due to changes in friction factor (should be < 70psig).4.4.3.2 Closing with No System Pressure With no system pressure available and the upper and lower piston chambers vented, the main valve will normally go closed due to the weight of the moving parts.To close the valve with no system pressure, de-energize all solenoid operated pilot valves.4.4.3.3 Closing with Auxiliary Medium If the main valve does not fully close with its own weight due to increased friction the UPC will need to be pressurized with auxiliary medium. The auxiliary medium source can be connected to the UPC by removing a plug from the cylinder cover and installing an adapter to mate with the auxiliary medium supply hose.To close the valve with auxiliary medium, MV2 and MV4 have to be closed (energized) and MV I, MV2, MV5 and MV6 opened (de-energized) by the control system. The auxiliary medium isolation valve is opened to pressurize the UPC. When the main valve has reached the closed position the auxiliary medium is disconnected and all solenoid operated pilot valves de-energized. The pressure required in the UPC depends on the friction of the moving parts, but should be less than 70 psig.4.4.4 Valve Response Time Valve response time will depend on system medium pressure and other factors, but in general the time delay from command (solenoid change) to valve has completed the transition will be approx 5-15 seconds.4.4.5 Valve Essentials To OPEN the valve, A- solenoid for pilot valves MVI and MV2, B-solenoid for MV3 and MV4 must be energized, and C-solenoids for MV5 and MV6 must be de-energized. Both sets of Separation Group solenoids are required to OPEN the valve.To CLOSE the valve A-solenoid for pilot valves MVI and/or MV2) and B-solenoid for MV3 and/or MV4 must be de-energized until the valve is CLOSED. Once the valve is CLOSED C-solenoid for pilot valves MV5 and MV6 can be energized. It is important to note: " Both solenoid A and solenoid B, from the same Separation Group, are required to de-energize to CLOSE." Train A can close the valve independent of train B (by de-energizing MV1, MV3, MV5), and Train B can close the valve independent of train A (by de-energizing MV2, MV4, MV6), 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 33 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.4.6 [a,c,e 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 34 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.5 Separation / Isolation / Independence / Diversity The MSFIS is divided into two actuation channels -Train A and B. Each of the two independent actuation channels monitors system inputs and, by means of logic matrices, energizes / de-energizes the required solenoids in the required sequence for the appropriate valve operations. The existing MSFIS design obeys the plant's separation criteria by use of two separate MSFIS Cabinets, one for each Channel.The MSFIS Cabinets and Channels shall continue adherence to these criteria.There must be no connection, nor communication of information within the MSFIS between the controls for the two sides of any valve. The states of the outputs for the two sides of a valve must be completely independent of one another. This separation is accomplished by assigning the two "sides" of each valve to opposite Channels MSFIS Cabinets.The existing MSFIS is contained in two independent cabinets, one cabinet for each separation group. The system design shall not require adjacent mounting of these cabinets." Physical separation shall be in accordance with IEEE 384 as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.75." Equipment for one actuation channel or one measurement channel shall be separated physically by a barrier from any other actuation channel or measurement channel. The wiring and terminal block arrangement within a given cabinet or isolated compartment shall allow for a minimum physical separation of six inches or use of fireproof barriers. Suitable means to implement IEEE 384 are contained in IEEE 420. Wiring separated by barriers shall maintain a 1-inch separation (or an equivalent of thermal insulation) between the barrier and the wire.Redundant elements are to be electrically and physically isolated from each other so that events (including faults) affecting one element does not affect the others in any way. Independence is provided between redundant elements to preclude any interaction between channels during maintenance or as a result of channel malfunction. Where electrical isolation is provided, an application of short circuit, ground, open circuit, or potential to one device shall not cause loss of function of the circuits or devices from which it is isolated. The system shall provide electrical isolation and physical separation to develop the required independence on the replacement MSFIS.Electrical isolation provided for all ON / OFF signals shall be capable of withstanding the application of 1500 V ac (rms), 60 Hz potential for 60 seconds without showing evidence of arcing or insulation breakdown. Examples of acceptable isolation devices are optocouplers, relays and transformers which meet the above requirements. Input signals, logic matrix and output signals shall adhere to the requirements of channel independence and separation. 4.6 EMI Requirements [a,c,e 4.7 Seismic Requirements [a,c,e 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 35 of 36 WCGS MSFIS Controls Project Summary 4.8 Environmental Requirements The MSFIS design system shall be suitable for the environment of a commercial power generating station and the equipment is required to operate in that environment for its lifetime. The environment at the equipment location is considered MILD with respect to the Equipment Qualification (EQ) program.MILD ENVIRONMENT Defined by IEEE 323 as: "An environment of normal service conditions where seismic is the only design basic event of consequence". However, IEEE 323-83, Section 6.2 states the following: Aging analysis done on all devices/ components including material make up radiation and higher than normal ambient temperature is factored into aging criteria (Station Black-Out conditions) determine qualified life and replacement/ maintenance schedule to achieve 40 year design life.The MSFIS cabinets are located in the Control Room equipment cabinet area, which will normally be air conditioned; however, the system shall be designed to function continuously at ambient temperatures ranging from 65'F to 84°F at a relative humidity from 20 to 70 percent.4.9 Life Span and Reliability [a,c,e 9100-00003-NP CS Innovations LLC 2007 Non-Proprietary Information Page 36 of 36 Enclosure III to ET 07-0004 CS Innovations LLC letter 9100-00001, "Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure" Ref. 9100-00001 CS INNOVATIONS LLC CS INNOVATIONS Direct phone: 480-612-2040 9150 E.

(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by CSI in designating information as a trade secret, privileged or as confidential commercial or financial information. (4) Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (b)(4) of Section 2.390 of the Commission's regulations, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.(i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and been held in confidence by CSI.(ii) The information is of a type customarily held in confidence by CSI and not customarily disclosure to the public. CSI has a rational basis for determining the types of information customarily held in confidence by it and, in that connection, utilizes a system to determining when and whether to hold certain types of information in confidence. The application of that system and substance of that system constitutes CSI policy and provides the rational basis required.Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows: (a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of CSI's competitors without license from CSI constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage, e.g. by optimization or improved marketability. Page 2 of 4 Ref. 9100-00002 (c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.(d) It reveals costs or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of CSI, its customers or suppliers.(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future CSI or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to CSI.(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable. There are sound policy reasons behind the CSI system which include the following: (a) The use of such information by CSI gives CSI a competitive advantage over its competitors. It is, therefore, withheld from disclosure to protect the CSI competitive position.(b) It is information that is marketable in many ways. The extent to which such information is available to competitors diminishes the CSI ability to sell products and services involving the use of the information.(c) Use by our competitor would put CSI at a competitive disadvantage by reducing his expenditure of resources at our expense.(d) Each component of proprietary information pertinent to a particular competitive advantage is potentially as valuable as the total competitive advantage. If competitors acquire components of proprietary information, any one component may be the key to the entire puzzle, thereby depriving CSI of a competitive advantage.(e) The CSI capacity to invest corporate assets in research and development depends upon the success in obtaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.(iii) The information is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, under the provisions of 10 CFR Section 2.390, it is to be received in confidence by the Commission. Page 3 of 4 Ref. 9100-00002 (iv) The information sought to be protected is not available in public sources or available information has not been previously employed in the same original manner or method to the best of our knowledge and belief.(v) The proprietary information sought to be withheld in this submittal is that which is appropriately marked in 9100-00003-P, "Wolf Creek Generating Station Main Steam and Feedwater Isolation System (MSFIS) Controls Summary" dated March 2007 (Proprietary). The information is provided in support of a submittal to the Commission, being transmitted by the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation and Application for Withholding Proprietary Information from Public Disclosure, to the Document Control Desk.This information is part of that which will enable CSI to: (a) Provide a replacement MSFIS Controls for Wolf Creek Generating Station.Further this information has substantial commercial value as follows: (a) The information requested to be withheld reveals the distinguishing aspects of a methodology which was developed by CSI.Public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of CSI.The development of the technology described in part by the information is the result of applying the results of many years of experience in an intensive CSI effort and the expenditure of a considerable sum of money.In order for competitors of CSI to duplicate this information, similar technical programs would have to be performed and a significant manpower effort, having the requisite talent and experience, would have to be expended.Further the deponent sayeth not.Page 4 of 4 Enclosure IV to ET 07-0004 WCGS System Verification and Validation Plan for the Advanced Logic System MSFIS Controls MAIN STEAM & FEEDWATER ISOLATION SYSTEM (MSFIS)CONTROLS REPLACEMENT SYSTEM VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION PLAN REVISION 0 Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation PO Box 411 1550 Oxen Lane, NE Burlington, KS 66839 Table of Contents REVISION 0 .................. 1.....................................

define the procedures and requirements for a comprehensive evaluation that shall assure that the Advanced Logic System Main Steam and Feedwater Isolation System (ALS MSFIS) controls being developed by Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Company shall meet the requirements for safety related Class 1E qualified nuclear power plant safety systems. The SVVP provides a plan for producing, evaluating, controlling and maintaining the design for the MSFIS Controls through each phase of the project. Approval of the SVVP will finalize the Verification and Validation concept.1.1.2 The design, fabrication, and testing of the MSFIS Controls is being performed by CS Innovations (CSI), based upon the requirements specified by Wolf Creek. The logic incorporated in the hardware of the MSFIS Controls shall perform all of the valve control and status functions. Class 1 E qualification of the design (seismic, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), commercial grade item dedication) is being performed by Nutherm International (NI), the Appendix B supplier of record for the MSFIS Controls Replacement Project.1.1.3 The specific verification and validation responsibilities for each of the interfacing organizations are defined in each section of this SVVP.The SVVP thus provides the framework of requirements and guidance for the engineering and design personnel who will specify and design the system, and for the independent group that will implement the SVVP and thereby perform the verification and validation. The SWP shall be carried out in parallel with design specification, design development, integration, and testing of the system.1.1.4 Execution of the SVVP shall assure that the developed system meets the established functional, performance, and interface requirements, and that the development process is performed in a manner that shall ensure predictable results and correct interfaces between the phases of the development cycle. The specific areas addressed by this SWNP are: System Verification and Validation Plan 1 Rev. 0
- 1. Ensuring that the system requirements are understood by the system developers and designers.
- 2. Ensuring that the development process is devised to satisfy specified requirements and identify and eliminate design errors.3. Ensuring that testing fully addresses hardware integration.
- 4. Ensuring that the system complies with all applicable specifications.
- 5. Ensuring verification is performed independently from the system design group.1.2 REFERENCE MATERIAL 1.2.1 Binding documents applicable to the Verification and Validation Plan for this project are: 1.

The MSFIS System is a logic-controller-based system which performs the control functions to operate the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) and Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs).The MSFIS provides 125 VDC output to energize or de-energize control solenoids to operate the plant Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) and Main Feedwater Isolation Valves (MFIVs).The current channel separation scheme for the overall plant will be applied to the new system. The MSFIS system will consist of two redundant and separate channels, with the control systems physically located in different cabinets. Each channel control system consists of a panel mounted Feed Rack, a panel mounted Steam Rack, and an Assembly Panel consisting of fuse blocks, a power block, and a terminal block with MOV's and TVS's mounted to an aluminum mounting plate. The test specimens will consist of one Steam Rack and one Assembly Panel. The Feed Rack and Steam Rack contain the same number and type of control boards, with identical electronic components used on the respective boards. Therefore, the Steam Rack and Assembly Panel are representative of the entire system and will serve as the basis for qualification. QUALIFICATION METHOD Qualification is based on the testing performed on the test specimens. The qualification program is for a mild environment qualification with no aging mechanisms and with seismic being the only Design Basis Event (DBE). Therefore, environmental pre-aging before seismic was not required. Cycle aging of the BYPASS/OPERATE switch has been included in the test program. The test program for mild environment shall consist of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing and cycle aging, followed by a seismic test.The EMC testing will be performed using the recommendations of EPRI TR-102323-R2, 1997 "Guidelines for Electromagnetic Interference Testing in Power Plants" as modified by Regulatory Guide 1.180, Revision 1 as a basis for testing to verify electromagnetic susceptibility and emissions of the system. The seismic test will verify structural integrity during a seismic event and document any output discontinuities that may develop. The ability of the equipment to operate during and after the seismic event will be supported by pre-seismic baseline testing, seismic monitoring to include an ESFAS all valves close signal during the final SSE test run, and post-seismic baseline test data.Before and after every qualification test, a baseline test will be performed on the test specimens to verify equipment operation. 501 South 1 Ith Street PHONE: 618-244-6000 TERNATIONAL, INC. Mt. Vernon IL 62864 FAX: 618-244-6641 NUTHERM QUALIFICATION REPORT WCN-9715R, REV. 0 Page 6 of 24 SAFETY FUNCTION The safety function of the Replacement MSFIS System is divided into 2 independent functions as follows:* Steam Line Isolation System (SLIS) -Main Steam Line Isolation minimizes the uncontrolled cool down of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) that would result from a main steam line rupture. Input signals pass from the detectors through the Solid State Protection System (SSPS) to the MSFIS cabinet where the output signal is generated. 0 Feedwater Isolation System (FWIS) -Feedwater isolation minimizes the potential for excessive post-trip cool down of the RCS due to overfilling the steam generators. It also prevents moisture carryover caused by high steam generator levels, and isolates normal Feedwater in the event of a High Energy Line Break inside containment. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SEISMIC REQUIREMENTS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS The MSFIS System is located in the Control Room. The environmental conditions for this location are defined in Specification J-105A(Q) Rev. 2 Section 5.4. The conditions are considered a mild environment, and are listed below.Parameter Normal Operating Conditions Temperature (*F) 65-84 Pressure ATM Relative Humidity (% RH) 20-70 Radiation (Rads/hr) 0.0005 As stated in EPRI TR-100516, p. 3-11 "Effects of Radiation on Semiconductors." Most semiconductors can tolerate radiation doses of & rads and below. MOS devices can be affected by doses as low as 1(9 rads." Equipment exposure for a 40 year life is less than 2X102 rads TID. This exposure level is well below the minimum dose required to cause degradation in semiconductor performance and therefore radiation aging is not required.501 South 1 1th Street PHONE: 618-244-6000 INTEFNATIONAL, INC.

The environmental conditions of the MSFIS System are considered to be mild.The postulated incident environmental condition is the same as the normal condition. The conditions in the mild environment produce no aging mechanisms which will cause significant aging before the design basis event. Therefore, no qualified life is required and seismic becomes the only design basis event of consequence. Cycle aging prior to seismic testing has been included at Wolf Creek's request. The test sequence for the mild qualification test program becomes:* Pre-Test Inspection o Baseline Functional Test o EMC Test o Baseline Functional Test* Cycle Aging o Baseline Functional Test o Seismic Test o Baseline Functional Test 0 Post-Test Inspection o FPGA Verification The individual steps in the qualification program for the MSFIS System are discussed below.PRE-TEST INSPECTION At the beginning of the test program, the test specimens will be inspected visually to verify no damage has occurred due to handling or during shipment.
