11 iv PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 RCS Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)This PTLR for Sequoyah Unit 1 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Tecirnical Specification (TS) 5.6.4. Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.This report affects TS 3.4.3, RCS Pressure/Temperature Limits (PiT) Limits and TS 3.4.12, Low Temperature Over Pressure Protection (LTOP) System.2.0 RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits The limits for TS 3.4.3 are presented in the subsections which follow and were developed using the NRC approved methodologies specified in TS 5.6.4 with exception of ASME Code Case N-640[1 3] (Use of Kit), WCAP- 15984-P['1 4 (Elimination of the Flange Requirement), 1996 Version of Appendix Gm and the-revised fluencesE7T.

The operability requirements associated with LTOPS are specified in TS 3.4.12 and were determined to adequately protect the RCS against brittle fracture in the event of an LTOP Transient in accordance with the methodology specified in TS 5.6.4.2.1 RCS Pressure/Temperature (PIT) Limits (TS 3.4.3)2.1.1 The minimum boltup temperature is 50 0 F 2.1.2 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits are: a. A maximum heatup rate of 1 00°F in any one hour period.* b. A maximum cooldown rate of l00OF in any one hour period.c. A maximum temperature change of less than or equal to I10°F in any one hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.2.1.3 The RCS P/T limits for heatup, cooldown, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figures 2-1 and 2-2.3.0 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection System (TS 3.4.12)The lift setpoints for the pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (P.ORVs) are presented in the subsections which follow. These lift setpoinlts have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in TS 5.6.4.1 PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 3.1 Pressurizer PORV Lift Setting Limits The pressurizer PORV lift setpoints are specified by Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 (Ref. 10). The limits for the LTOPS setpoints are contained in the 32 EFPY steady-state curves (Table 2-2), which are beitline conditions and are not compensated for pressure differences between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor midplane/beltline or for instrument inaccuracies.

The pressure difference between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor vessel midplane/beltline with four reactor coolant pumps in operation is 68.3 psi (Ref. 11).Note: These setpoints include allowance for the pressure difference between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor vessel midplane/beltline and the SOTF thermal transport effect for heat injection transients.

A demonstrated accuracy calculation (Reference

12) has been performed to confirn that the setpoints will maintain the system pressure within the established limits when the pressure difference between the pressure transmitter and reactor midplane and maximum temperature/pressure instrument uncertainties are applied to the setpoints.

3.2 Anning Temperature The LTOPS arming temperature is based upon the methodology defined in the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Unit 1 Technical Specifications Administrative Controls Section 5.6.4. The arming temperature shall be _<350°F.4.0 Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program The reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens shall be removed and examined to determine changes in material properties.

The removal schedule is provided in Table 4-1. The results of these examinations shall be used to update Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 3-1.The pressure vessel steel surveillance program (WCAP-8233 r 1 l) is in compliance with Appendix H to 10 CFR 50, "Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program Requirementsr 2 1."' The material test requirements and the acceptance standard utilize the reference nil-ductility temperature which is determined in accordance with ASTM E23 [3]. The empirical relationship between RTNDr and the fracture toughness of the reactor vessel steel is developed in accordance with Code Case N-640 of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Appendix 0, "Fracture Toughness Criteria for Protection Against FailureE 4 1. The surveillance capsule removal schedule meets the requirements of ASTM E185-82N 5.The removal schedule is provided in Table 4-1.2 PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 5.0 Supplemental Data Tables Table 5-1 contains a comparison of measured surveillance material 30 ft-lb transition temperature shifts and upper shelf energy decreases with Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2[6], predictions.

Table 5-2 shows calculations of the surveillance material chemistry factors using surveillance capsule data. Note that in the calcuilation of the surveillance weld chemistry factor, the ratio procedure from Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 was followed.

The ratio in question is equal to 0.90.Table 5-3 provides the required Sequoyah Unit 1 reactor vessel toughness data.Table 5-4 provides a summary of the fluence values used in the generation of the heatup and cooldown limit curves and the PTS evaluation.

Table 5-5 and 5-6 show the calculation of the 1/4T and 3/4T adjusted reference temperature at 32 EFPY for each beitline material in the Sequoyah Unit 1 reactor vessel. The limiting beitline material was the Lower Shell Forging 04.Table 5-7 provides a summary of the adjusted reference temperature (ART) Values of the Sequoyah Unit 1 reactor vessel beltline materials at the 1/4T and 3/4T locations for 32 EFPY.Table 5-8Sprovides RTPTs values for Sequoyah Unit 1 at 32 EFPY.3 PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT MATERIAL PROPERTY BASIS LTMITING MATERIAL:

These values are treated as one data point in the calculation of the best estimate average for the inter, to lower shell circ. weld shown above. Originally the 0.424 / 0.406 and 0.084 / 0.085 values were reported as single points, 0.41 -0.42 and 0.08 (Per WCAP-10340, Rev. l[7d]), but it is actually made up of two data points. Sample TW58 from Capsule T was broken into two samples, TW58a and TW58b, thus providing the two data points.(c) From NRC Reactor Vessel Integrity Database (RVID) and ultimately fr'om Rotterdam Weld Certifications.(d) Circumferential Weld Seam W05 was fabricated with weld wire type SMvIT 40, Heat # 25295, Flux type SMVIT 89, Lot # 2275.

9 iv PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 1.0 RCS Pressure Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)This PTLR for Sequoyah Unit 2 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.4. Revisions to the PTLR shall be provided to the NRC after issuance.This report affects TS.3.4.3, RCS Pressure/Temperature Limits (P/T) Limits and TS 3.4.12,.Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System.2.0 RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits The limits for TS 3.4.3 are presented in the subsections which follow and were developed using the NRC approved methodologies specified in TS 5.6.4 with exception of ASME Code Case N-640 1 1 n 1 (Use of K 1 o), WCAP- 159 84-Ptl 2 1 (Elimination of the Flange Requirement), 1996 Version of Appendix G[4 1 and the revised fluencesETI.

The operability requirements associated with LTOPS are specified in TS 3.4.12 and were determined to adequately protect the RCS against brittle fracture in the event of an LTOP Transient in accordance with the methodology specified in TS 5.6.4.2.1 RCS Pressure/Temperature (P/T) Limits (TS 3.4.3)2.1.1 The minimum boltup temperature is 50°F 2.1.2 The RCS temperature rate-of-change limits are: a. A maximum heatup rate of 1 00°F in any one hour period.b. A maximum cooldown rate of 100°F in any one hour period.c. A maximum temperature change of less than or equal to. 1 0°F in any one hour period during inservice hydrostatic and leak testing operations above the heatup and cooldown limit curves.2.1.3 The RCS P/T limits for heatup, cooldown, inservice hydrostatic and leak testing, and criticality are specified by Figures 2-1 and 2-2.3.0 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection System (TS 3.4.12)The lift setpoints for the pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) are presented in the subsections which follow. These lift setpoints have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in TS 5.6.4.I PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT*3.1 Pressurizer PORV Lift Setting Limits The pressurizer PORV lift setpoints are specified by Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1 (Ref. 10). The limits for the LTOPS setpoints are contained in the 32 EFPY steady-state curves (Table 2-2), which are beitline conditions and are not compensated for pressure differences between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor midplane/beltline or for instrument inaccuracies.

The pressure difference between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor vessel midplane/beltline with four reactor coolant pumps in operation is 68.3 psi (Ref. 13).Note: These set-points include allowance for the pressure difference between the pressurizer transmitter and the reactor vessel midplane/beltline and the 50°F thermal transport effect for heat injection transients..

A demonstrated accuracy calculation (Reference

14) has been performed to confirm that the setpoints will maintain the system pressure within the established limits when the pressure difference between the pressure transmhitter and reactor midplane and maximum temperature/pressure instrument uncertainties are applied to the setpoints.

3.2 Arming Temperature The LTOPS arning temperature is based upon the methodology defined in the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Unit 2 Technical Specifications Administrative Controls Section 5.6.4. The arming temperature shall be <350°F.4.0 Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program The reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens shall be removed and examined to determine changes in material properties.

The removal schedule is provided in Table 4-1. The results of these examinations shall be used to update Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 3-1.The pressure vessel steel surveillance program (WCAP-85 13[1]) is in compliance with Appendix H to 10 CFR 50, "Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program Requirementst 2 1."' The material test requirements and the acceptance standard utilize the reference nil-ductility temperature RTNDT, which is determined in accordance with ASTM E23 [3. The empirical relationship between RTNOT and the fracture toughness of the reactor vessel steel is developed in accordance with Code Case N-640 of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Criteria for Protection Against Failurer 4 k.' The surveillance capsule removal schedule meets the requirements of ASTM E185-82N 5.The removal schedule is provided in Table 4-1.2 PRESSURE TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT 5.0 Supplemental Data Tables Table 5-1 contains a comparison of measured surveillance material 30 ft-lb transition temperature shifts and upper shelf energy decreases with Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2[6], predictions.

Table 5-2 shaows calculations of the surveillance material chemistry factors using surveillance capsule data. Note that in the calculation of the surveillance weld chemistry factor, the ratio procedure from Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 was followed.

The ratio in question is equal to 0.93.Table 5-3 provides the required Sequoyah Unit 2 reactor vessel toughness data.Table 5-4 provides a summary of the fluence values used in the generation of the heatup and cooldown limit curves and the PTS evaluation.

Table 5-5 and 5-6 show the calculation of the 1/4T and 3/4T adjusted reference temperature at 32 EFPY for each beltline material in the Sequoyah Unit 2 reactor vessel. The limiting beltline material was the Intermediate Shell Forging 05..Table 5-7 provides a summary of the adjusted reference temperature (ART) values of the Sequoyah Unit 2 reactor vessel beltline materials at the l/4T and 3/4T locations for 32 EFPY.Table 5-8 provides RTP-Ts values for Sequoyah Unit 2 at 32 EFPY.3 PRESSURE .TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT MATERIAL PROPERTY BASIS LIMITING MATERIAL!
