12. Communications Operations Safety Assurance Training Nuclear Assurance Revision No. 2017-001 March 2017 Confinement Barrier OP/1,2,3/A/1502/000 Basis-Related Requirements from Appendix R Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, states in part: Criterion 3 of Appendix A to this part specifies that "Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions." When considering the effects of fire, those systems associated with achieving and maintaining safe shutdown conditions assume major importance to safety because damage to them can lead to core damage resulting from loss of coolant through boil-off.

Because fire may affect safe shutdown systems and because the loss of function of systems used to mitigate the consequences of design basis accidents under post-fire conditions does not per se impact public safety, the need to limit fire damage to systems required to achie_ve and maintain safe shutdown conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to mitiqate the consequences of desiqn Proposed Change Revision No. 2017-002 March 2017 Oconee County Emergency Services Fire/Chemical Spill 12.

In addition, Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, requires, among other considerations,

• the use of 1-hour fire barriers for the enclosure of cable and equipment and associated non-safety circuits of one redundant train (G.2.c). As used in HU4.2, the 30-minutes to verify a single alarm is well within this worst-case 1-hour time period. Once the Control Room is evacuated, Once the Control Room is the objective is to establish control of evacuated, the objective is to establish important plant equipment and control of important plant equipment and maintain knowledge of important maintain knowledge of important plant plant parameters in a timely manner. parameters in a timely manner. Primary Primary emphasis should be placed emphasis should be placed on components on components and instruments that and instruments that supply protection for supply protection for and information and information about safety functions.

about safety functions.

Typically, Typically, these safety functions are these safety functions are reactivity reactivity control (ability to shutdown the control (ability to shutdown the reactor and maintain it shutdown), RCS reactor and maintain it shutdown), inventory (ability to cool the core), and RCS inventory , and secondary heat secondary heat removal (ability to maintain a removal. heat sink). If an initial manual reactor trip is If an initial manual reactor trip is unsuccessful, operators will promptly unsuccessful, operators will promptly take take manual action at another manual action at another location(s) on the location(s) on the reactor control reactor control consoles to shutdown the consoles to shutdown the reactor reactor. Depending upon several factors, (e.g., initiate a manual reactor trip) the initial or subsequent effort to manually using a different switch) ..... trip the reactor, or a concurrent plant condition, may lead to the generation of an automatic reactor trip signal. If a subsequent manual or automatic trip is successful in shutting down the reactor, core heat generation will quickly fall to a level within t_he capabilities of the plant's decay heat removal systems. This threshold is based on an This threshold is based on an UNISOLABLE RCS leak that results in UNISOLABLE RCS leak that results in the the inability to maintain pressurizer level . inability to maintain pressurizer level within within specified limits by operation of a specified limits by operation of a normally normally used charging (makeup) used charging (makeup) pump, but an ES pump, but an ES actuation has not actuation has not occurred.
