SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION instrumentation and control (I&C) systems provide the capability to monitor and control the NE facility systems manually and automatically during normal conditions and maintain the lity in a safe condition under accident conditions.
chapter describes the design of the I&C systems, including classification, functional uirements and architecture, and demonstrates the systems capabilities to perform safety and safety-related functions. The scope of the information provided in this chapter includes tems that are safety-related as defined by SHINEs Quality Assurance Program Description nonsafety-related I&C systems that perform specific regulatory required functions.
tion 7.1 provides an introduction and overview of I&C systems, which include safety-related nonsafety-related systems. Systems and topics addressed in this chapter include:
- the process integrated control system (PICS)
- the target solution vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS)
- the engineered safety feature actuation system (ESFAS)
- the highly integrated protection system (HIPS) underlying TRPS and ESFAS
- facility control room control consoles and displays
- radiation monitoring, including
- safety-related process radiation monitors considered part of the ESFAS, TRPS, and tritium purification system (TPS)
- nonsafety-related process radiation monitors included as part of other facility processes
- the radiation area monitoring system (RAMS)
- the continuous air monitoring system (CAMS)
- the stack release monitoring system (SRMS)
- the criticality accident alarm system (CAAS)
- the neutron flux detection system (NFDS) architectural design of I&C systems is based on providing clear interconnection interfaces of lity I&C structures, systems, and components. Each irradiation unit (IU) has an independent ty-related TRPS and NFDS. A single nonsafety-related PICS provides the nonsafety tions of the IUs and facility level nonsafety-related functions. An ESFAS is provided for ty-related functions that are common to the entire facility. The CAAS, RAMS, CAMS, and MS provide their functions at a facility level separate from the irradiation units.
mplified block diagram of the overall I&C system architecture is provided in Figure 7.1-1.
1 PROCESS INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM PICS is a nonsafety-related distributed digital control system that provides monitoring and trol of the various processes throughout the SHINE facility. The PICS includes system trols, both automated and manual, and human system interfaces (HSIs) necessary to provide operator interaction with the necessary process control mechanism. The HSIs are provided in facility control room (FCR) and are described in Section 7.6.
NE Medical Technologies 7.1-1 Rev. 0
the systems and components in the radioisotope production facility (RPF).
functions of the PICS enable the operator to perform irradiation cycles, transfer target tion to and from the IU as well as throughout the RPF, and interface with the TPS, processes e supercell, waste handling operations, and the auxiliary systems.
PICS is further described in Section 7.3.
2 TARGET SOLUTION VESSEL REACTIVITY PROTECTION SYSTEM purpose of the TRPS is to monitor process variables and provide automatic initiating signals esponse to off-normal conditions, providing protection against unsafe IU operation during the illing, irradiation, and post-irradiation modes of operation. Each IU has its own TRPS, figured as shown in Figure 7.1-2. The major safety function of the TRPS is to monitor ables associated with the IU and trip the neutron driver and actuate the engineered safety ures when specified setpoints, based on analytical limits, are reached or exceeded.
TRPS maintains the modes of operation of the IU and creates the necessary interlocks and missives on each safety function needed for the different modes. Modes are transitioned uentially using an operator input.
TRPS also transmits status and information signals to the nonsafety-related maintenance kstation (MWS) and to the PICS for display in the FCR, trending, and historian purposes.
TRPS is built utilizing the HIPS as described in Subsection 7.1.4. HIPS is a field grammable gate array (FPGA)-based system. The TRPS incorporates the fundamental I&C ciples of independence, redundancy, predictability and repeatability, and diversity and ense-in-depth as used by the HIPS platform.
TRPS includes the following safety-related (except where noted otherwise) components:
- three divisions of input modules, signal conditioning, and trip determination
- two divisions of power distribution panels
- power supplies for sensors and TRPS components
- two nonsafety-related MWSs
- two divisions of voting and actuation equipment
- manual input switches boundary of the TRPS extends from the terminations of the cabling at the output of the sors to the terminations of the cabling to each actuation component of the TRPS.
TRPS is further described in Section 7.4.
3 ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM purpose of the ESFAS is to monitor process variables and provide automatic initiating als in response to off-normal conditions, providing protection against unsafe conditions in the NE facility. The ESFAS is a plant level control system not specific to any operating unit or NE Medical Technologies 7.1-2 Rev. 0
- sense and command functions necessary to maintain the facility confinement strategy and
- process actuation functions as required by the safety analysis.
ESFAS also transmits status and information signals to the nonsafety-related MWS and to PICS for display in the FCR, trending, and historian purposes.
ESFAS, like the TRPS, is also built using the HIPS platform as described in section 7.1.4. The ESFAS incorporates the fundamental I&C principles of independence, undancy, predictability and repeatability, and diversity and defense-in-depth as used by the S platform.
ESFAS includes the following safety-related components (except where noted otherwise):
- three divisions of input modules, signal conditioning, and trip determination
- two divisions of power distribution panels
- power supplies for sensors and ESFAS components
- two nonsafety-related MWSs
- two divisions of voting and actuation equipment
- manual input switches boundary of the ESFAS extends from the terminations of the cabling at the output of the sors to the terminations of the cabling to each actuation component of the ESFAS.
ESFAS is further described in Section 7.5.
4 HIGHLY INTEGRATED PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGN HIPS is used for both the TRPS and ESFAS as shown in Figure 7.1-2 and Figure 7.1-3. This section describes the design characteristics of the HIPS.
safety function module (SFM) receives sensor inputs to the HIPS platform at the signal ditioning circuitry to measure variables important to the safe operation of the IU. The SFM orms three main functions with the sensor inputs:
- Signal conditioning
- Trip determination
- Communication to the TRPS communication modules signal conditioning function is comprised of input submodules that are part of the SFM sisting of a signal conditioning circuit, analog to digital converter, and a serial interface. The al conditioning function is responsible for conditioning, measuring, filtering, and sampling inputs.
trip determination receives sensor input values in a digital format from the signal conditioning
- k. The trip determination performs the comparison of the sensor inputs to setpoints grammed into the FPGA and makes a trip determination based on the output of the NE Medical Technologies 7.1-3 Rev. 0
SFM also provides monitoring and indication bus (MIB) functionality and calibration and test (CTB) functionality. The MIB is responsible for obtaining variables, parameters, trip ermination results, status, and diagnostic information from each of the core logic paths. The B allows for the MWS to update the tunable parameters (i.e., setpoints) in the nonvolatile mory when the SFM is taken out of service (OOS).
SFM has three core logic paths that are separated at the output of the signal condition uitry. The three core logic paths each perform trip determination and send the results to the e safety data buses (SDB1, SDB2, and SDB3). In two of the three divisions, SFMs send the a via the chassis backplane directly to the scheduling and voting module (SVM) associated the respective safety data bus where the two-out-of-three voting occurs. The third division ds the data to scheduling and bypass modules (SBMs) local to that division, which collects data and transmits the collected data to each of the SVMs to complete the two-out-of-three ng inputs. Both the SBM and SVM are the master of the respective safety data bus to the Ms. Transmission from the third divisions SBM to the SVMs is point-to-point one-way munication.
results of the two-out-of-three voting are transmitted through the chassis backplane in a nd robin fashion to each of the equipment interface modules (EIMs). There the EIMs combine input from the three SVMs associated with the three different safety data buses in a two-out-hree vote to determine if a protective function requiring deenergizing the output of that EIM is essary.
status and diagnostic information from each of the individual module types is provided to the
. The monitoring and indication communication module (MI-CM) is the bus master for all munications on the MIB. The MI-CM provides status and diagnostic information from all dules through isolated, transmit-only communication ports to nonsafety-related equipment.
h SFM has an associated trip/bypass switch connected to a hardwired module (HWM) that ates the signal and places the trip or bypass information on the backplane where it is routed ither the SBMs or SVMs where it is used. Each SFM also has an OOS switch installed on its t plate. When the OOS switch on the SFM is activated, the SBM forces the safety function either trip or bypass, depending on the position of the trip/bypass switch, and takes the nnel OOS. It also provides the appropriate alarm output information.
nual switches in the FCR, as well as any other discrete signal inputs from other systems, are eived via the hardwired module. A manual switch for each safety function is provided. The nual switch is directly input into the actuation and priority logic (APL) in the EIM downstream ll programmable logic.
priority on the different control signals provided to the logic from within the HIPS platform is ned by the APL. There are five different command signals that the APL accepts:
- Automated trip signal passed down from the SFM
- Manual trip signal from the FCR
- Enable nonsafety enabled NE Medical Technologies 7.1-4 Rev. 0
crete logic is used for the APL for actuation of components based on the prioritization design.
S is only allowed control by the APL logic if the enable nonsafety enable permissive signal is ve and no manual or automated protective functions are present.
circuitry of the APL is designed so that, when an actuation signal is received, either through safety data path or manually through the HWM, the APL ensures the action carries through l completion. Upon a reset of the sense and command features, the APL continues to hold actuated components on the requested position until deliberate operator action is taken to nge the components state.
5 CONTROL CONSOLE AND DISPLAYS operator workstations and main control board are provided as the HSI subset of components he FCR. These components are included as part of the PICS and are classified as nonsafety-ted.
two operator workstations provide operators with interactive displays to perform daily vities for the SHINE facility. The displays at the operator workstation are capable of being nged to the appropriate screen applicable to the activities that the operator is performing ng day-to-day operations of the SHINE facility.
main control board, located in front of the two operator workstations, includes both digital lays and limited manual interfaces.
main control board provides the operator with multiple digital displays, configured to tinuously display variables important to safety-related system status for individual IUs and the nce of the production facility. The displays on the main control board are used to support nual actuation of safety-related systems and to verify correct operation of the safety-related tems in the event of an actuation.
main control board provides operator interfaces for:
- manual actuation of the TRPS and ESFAS protective functions,
- the enable nonsafety function, which allows PICS control of the APL output state (i.e.,
deenergized or energized), and
- the facility operating permissive key, which is used to place the SHINE facility into a secure state.
supervisor workstation is located at the rear of the facility control room and acts as an nsion of the operator workstations. The supervisor workstation is equipped with equipment lay screens that allow the supervisor to monitor system status, but not control facility ponents.
ility controls are designed and located using consideration of human factors engineering ciples. The SHINE Human Factors Engineering Program is used to facilitate the safe, ient, and reliable performance of operations, maintenance, tests, inspections, and NE Medical Technologies 7.1-5 Rev. 0
se systems are further described in Section 7.6.
6 RADIATION MONITORING iation monitoring is used to monitor radiation levels within the SHINE facility, to provide ms for personnel within the facility and the control room, to provide actuation signals to ty-related control systems, and to monitor airborne effluent streams from the facility.
ety-related process radiation monitoring is performed by ESFAS, TRPS and TPS radiation nitors. These monitors provide input into the safety-related controls to provide input for safety ations and interlocks, and provide indication and alarm signals to the FCR.
safety-related process radiation monitors are used in select facility processes to provide us information and diagnose off-normal process conditions.
a radiation monitoring and local alarms within the general areas of the facility radiologically trolled area (RCA) are provided by the RAMS. This nonsafety-related system also provides als to the FCR to inform operators of abnormal conditions within the facility.
orne contamination monitoring within general areas of the facility RCA is performed by the MS. The CAMS units are nonsafety-related devices that provide local alarms and provide als to the FCR to inform operators of the occurrence and approximate location of abnormal ditions.
mal airborne facility effluents are directed into a single facility stack and are monitored by the k release monitor. An alternate safety-related vent path for the nitrogen purge system is nitored by the carbon delay bed effluent monitor. These nonsafety-related effluent monitors vide control room indication and alarm. The SHINE facility does not have a normal liquid ent path from the RCA, and as such no liquid effluent monitoring system is provided.
icality accident monitoring and alarm is provided by the facility CAAS. The CAAS provides ms both locally and within the FCR.
se systems are further described in Section 7.7.
7 NEUTRON FLUX DETECTION SYSTEM NFDS is used for monitoring the reactivity and power of the subcritical assembly system in IU. The NFDS is a safety-related system with redundant channels of neutron flux detectors.
NFDS detects and provides remote indication of the neutron flux levels during TSV filling irradiation to determine the multiplication factor and power levels, respectively. The NFDS vides safety-related outputs to the TRPS used for trip determination. The NFDS also provides safety-related outputs to the PICS, which are used for monitoring of conditions within the IU.
ee watertight fission chamber NFDS detectors are provided for each IU, located in the light er pool surrounding the subcritical assembly support structure (SASS).
NE Medical Technologies 7.1-6 Rev. 0
each NFDS division maintains electrical and physical separation with the other divisions for same IU cell.
NFDS is further described in Section 7.8.

design of the safety-related instrumentation and control (I&C) systems is based on four damental design principles:
- independence
- redundancy
- predictability and repeatability
- diversity design criteria of the I&C systems were derived from the criteria in 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, 10 CFR 70.64(a), as described in Table 3.1-3, as well as the draft interim staff guidance G) for Chapter 7 of NUREG-1537. The criteria were applied in a graded approach to each I&C tem.
1 DESIGN CRITERIA SHINE design criteria are described in Section 3.1. Table 3.1-1 and Table 3.1-2 show how criteria are applied to each I&C system. Additional design criteria for individual systems and systems are provided in Sections 7.3 through 7.8. Codes and standards used in the design of h I&C system are also identified in Sections 7.3 through 7.8.
2 DESIGN BASES design bases for safety-related I&C systems (i.e., target solution vessel [TSV] reactivity ection system [TRPS], engineered safety features actuation system [ESFAS], and neutron detection system [NFDS]) were derived using a graded approach from the criteria identified e draft ISG for NUREG-1537 as they applied to the four fundamental design principles and described in this subsection.
des of operation, safety functions, permissive conditions, monitored variables and their ges, conditions for manual control, and any other special design bases requirements specific ach of the I&C systems are described in Sections 7.3 through 7.8.
ironmental and radiological parameters for I&C components located in different areas of the lity are provided in Tables 7.2-1 through 7.2-6 and are referred to in Sections 7.3 through 7.8.
ironmental parameters inside the main production facility are maintained by the facility ting, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, which are described in Section 9a2.1.
2.1 Independence physical, electrical, communications, and functional independence attributes are discussed is subsection.
2.1.1 Physical Separation TRPS and ESFAS structures, systems and components that comprise a division are sically separated to retain the capability of performing the required safety functions during a ign basis accident. Division independence is maintained throughout both systems, extending NE Medical Technologies 7.2-1 Rev. 0
aration and isolation to provide independence for circuits. Separation of wiring is achieved g separate wireways and cable trays for each of Division A, Division B and Division C.
sion A and C of the TRPS and ESFAS are located on the opposite side of the facility control m from where Division B is located. Safety-related equipment for different divisions is located eparate fire areas when practicable. Exceptions include components for all three divisions are ted in the facility control room, in individual irradiation unit (IU) and TSV off-gas system GS) cells, and in other locations where end devices are installed.
NFDS divisions are physically separate. The NFDS detectors are installed 120 degrees idistant around the subcritical assembly structure in relation to the target solution vessel and cabling is routed in physically separate cable trays and raceways.
2.1.2 Electrical Isolation electrical isolation devices that are used as a safety system boundary are considered part of safety-related system (i.e., TRPS and ESFAS). The electrical isolation devices are tested to firm that credible failures on the nonsafety side of the isolation device do not prevent the ociated safety system channel from meeting minimum performance requirements.
ctrical isolation between the safety-related and nonsafety-related systems is provided by the wing devices:
- Nonsafety-related inputs. The equipment interface module (EIM) provides isolation via galvanic isolation between the nonsafety inputs (e.g., actuation component position indication feedback) and the safety system. The isolation is a passive safety-related feature that does not rely on power to provide the required protection.
- Safety-related to nonsafety-related communication interface. Communication with nonsafety-related systems is provided through transmit-only or receive-only ports, which provide isolation through unidirectional communication links. The monitoring and indication communication module (MI-CM) provides isolation from the safety systems (TRPS or ESFAS) to the nonsafety systems (the process integrated control system
[PICS] and the maintenance workstation [MWS]) via communication ports configured as one-way transmit only on the device. A single data port on the MI-CM is configured as receive-only, and can receive information from the MWS through a temporary cable that is connected during maintenance activities.
- Hardwired inputs into the safety-related systems. The hardwired module (HWM) receives signals from the manual switches in the facility control room, discrete hardwired signals from the PICS, and from the safety function module (SFM) trip/bypass switches. The HWM is constructed only from discrete logic components. The HWM provides direct current (DC)-to-DC and galvanic isolation between the TRPS and ESFAS and any input to the HWM.
2.1.3 Communications Independence TRPS and ESFAS each use five separate and independent serial communication bus ctures:
NE Medical Technologies 7.2-2 Rev. 0
- Safety data bus 3 (SDB3)
- Monitoring and indication bus (MIB)
- Calibration and test bus (CTB) communication buses are used for intradivisional communication via a backplane. Each kplane is specific to either the TRPS or ESFAS. The backplane contains point-to-point per signal traces that are the signal paths for SDB1, SDB2, SDB3, MIB, and CTB. Each bus eparate, asynchronous, and can be active simultaneously and operate independently. The es use a master-slave protocol, using simple, different RS-485 virtual point-to-point or point-ultipoint communication.
h exception of the interdivisional voting, the communication within the TRPS and ESFAS sion is independent and does not rely on communication from outside the respective division erform a safety function. The SFM performs independent signal conditioning and trip ermination, and provides the result to either the scheduling and voting module (SVM) in sion A and B or the scheduling and bypass module (SBM) in Division C (used for two-out-of-e votes, when provided).
safety function is processed through three redundant communication modules (CMs) to vide error detection and fault tolerance of the safety function. Data communications going out r into the highly integrated protection system (HIPS) chassis use one-way isolated munication ports on the CMs. The CMs are part of the safety-related HIPS platform and are sidered safety-related modules, isolated from nonsafety-related equipment.
PS or ESFAS communication to nonsafety systems is provided by one-way, isolated data munication paths from the MIB. The communication from the TRPS or ESFAS to the PICS or S is through a MI-CM in each division. The MWS provides communication to the ESFAS or PS using a temporary cable. This communication is only allowed when the SFM is taken out ervice by placing the out of service switch on the face plate of the SFM in the "out of service" ition.
NFDS is an analog system with no digital communications. Communication independence the NFDS is maintained by implementing separate hardwired connections to the TRPS and S.
2.1.4 Functional Independence SFMs in ESFAS and TRPS are responsible for both signal conditioning and trip ermination from input signals. The trip determination portions of each SFM receive process t values from the signal conditioning portions of that SFM. Each independent SFM is icated to implementing one safety function or a limited group of functions. This results in the e-level implementation of each group of safety functions being different from other safety tions performed on a separate SFM. A removal of one SFM only affects the safety function up that is implemented by that SFM and no other SFM. This design attribute supports ctional independence.
built-in self-test (BIST) feature in the field programmable gate array (FPGA) logic is separate independent of the FPGA safety function logic; thus, the programming of the FPGA safety NE Medical Technologies 7.2-3 Rev. 0
2.2 Redundancy undancy is used to ensure that the safety-related I&C systems can perform the required ty functions during a design basis event. Redundancy features of the safety-related I&C tems are also used to improve system reliability.
2.2.1 Redundancy in the Target Solution Vessel Reactivity Protection System and Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System safety I&C system platform design includes redundancy in the areas of power, module, munication, equipment interface, and platform. These features ensure that no single failure ults in loss of the protection function, and removal from service of any component or channel s not result in loss of the required minimum redundancy unless the acceptable reliability of ration of the protection system can be otherwise demonstrated.
SFM is designed with three redundant signal paths and begins the communication paths for o-out-of-three comparison. This internal redundancy provides for easy fault detection, giving er reliability from spurious actuation without increasing the complexity of the design.
undancy within the safety I&C system platform architecture is achieved by employing two or e divisions of sensors, detectors, and trip determination, and two divisions of trip and ation circuitry. Three divisions of sensors, detectors and trip determination are selected for tions where spurious actuation may significantly impact overall facility operation or for rational convenience; two divisions are used for other functions. Using multiple divisions of sors and detectors and trip and actuation determination is one of the mechanisms employed atisfy single-failure criteria and improve system availability.
ncidence voting on functions with three divisions of trip determination is implemented so that ngle failure of an input process signal will not prevent a trip or actuation from occurring when uired. In addition, a single failure of an input process signal with three divisions of trip ermination will not cause spurious actuation or inadvertent trips or actuations when they are required. Figures 7.1-2 and 7.1-3 show typical signal data flow paths in the HIPS platform.
following features are provided to improve the reliability of the systems:
- The equipment chassis provide for redundant auctioneered DC power feeds to supply both the general logic design and the FPGA core supply power requirements. Fuses are used to protect the modules from cases of severe overcurrent and board failures.
- The safety I&C system platform provides triple redundant communication paths. These redundant paths provide fault tolerance and the ability to replace a CM on line without causing a trip or actuation. From the output of the input submodule to the EIM voting, the three redundant safety data signal paths remain independent and redundant.
- The safety I&C system platform provides redundant EIMs. These parallel EIMs allow for more thorough testing and equipment removal, thus providing a higher reliability of the field components from spurious actuation.

undancy within the NFDS platform is achieved by utilizing three divisions of detectors, plifiers and process circuits.
2.3 Predictability and Repeatability behavior of the functions within the FPGA of each module is deterministic. Deterministic avior allows implementation of a simple communication protocol using a predefined message cture with fixed time intervals. This simple, periodic communication scheme is used ughout the architecture. Communication between modules within a chassis is implemented ugh an RS-485 physical layer. The configurable transmit-only or receive-only ports on a CM a point-to-point physical layer. Communication between modules is done asynchronously, ch simplifies implementation by avoiding complex syncing techniques.
cess input values are communicated using a deterministic path and are provided to a specific M. Input values are converted to engineering units to determine what safety function or group afety functions is implemented on that specific SFM. The SFMs make a trip determination g the engineering units. A trip determination is based on a predetermined set point and vides a trip or no-trip demand signal to each actuation division through an isolated transmit-serial data path.
I&C safety system platform uses a virtual point-to-point connection of the trip decision to the ng level of the architecture. It also uses the point-to-multipoint arrangement achieved within a ster-relay-to-slave-relay connection.
h SVM of the two actuation divisions receives inputs from the trip determination portions of SFMs through isolated receive-only serial data paths. The trip determinations are combined e voting logic so that two or more trip inputs from the trip determination modules produce an ation output demand signal, which is sent to dedicated actuation and priority logic (APL) uits to actuate the appropriate equipment associated with that division. Manual trip and ation capability also provide a direct trip or actuation of equipment, as well as input to the omatic portion of the system, to ensure the sequence is maintained.
tinuous self-test and calibration checks are performed on the analog input submodule analog igital converters. These tests verify the calibration of the analog portion and that the input module is working. The continuous calibration check verifies that the analog to digital verter is within the desired accuracy and that it has not drifted out of calibration. These ures support the predictable and repeatable platform design.
FPGA functions on the EIM consist of deterministic-state machines. The EIM uses discrete c for the actuation and priority logic, high-drive switching outputs, hard-wired signals, and ipment feedback circuitry. This architecture performs manual actuations downstream of any grammable logic. The EIM is a slave module to the three SVMs and the MI-CM. The EIM uses FPGA device to implement the logic circuits for automatic trip signal voting, handling of the cation and diagnostic information, and bus communication logic. The EIM is equipped with t high-drive switching outputs. The high-drive output is implemented as a redundant output, re a single failure in one of the driving components is automatically detected and mitigated out affecting the output operation.

ermination actuation (PTDA) from the SFM to the EIM. The timing diagram is focused on the grammable logic portion. The blue line indicates that t1 and t2 are asynchronous. The ram includes the analog input delay on the left and the analog output delay on the right side.
se analog delays are dependent on the application and are simply added to the overall timing ulation. The diagram also shows the logic delays of the modules that are included in the saction times. These logic delays are very small compared to the communications timing; as h, they are added as an element in the worst-case timing calculation.
meet a response time performance requirement of 500 ms, a HIPS platform-based system st acquire the input signal that represents the start of a response time performance uirement, perform logic processing associated with the response time performance uirement, and generate an output signal that represents the end of a response time ormance requirement. These HIPS platform response time components exclude (1) the ier plant process delays through the sensor input to the platform, and (2) the latter delays ugh a final actuating device to affect the plant process. The required response times for the PS and ESFAS, which cover the analog delays, logic delays, and times t1 and t2 of ure 7.2-1, are provided in Sections 7.4 and 7.5, respectively.
2.4 Diversity HIPS platform provides functional diversity with the use of different protection logic on each M in order to implement the unique safety function(s) assigned to that SFM. As a result, grammable logic design for an SFM is unique when compared to the protection logic for any er SFM. A failure of an SFM would be limited to the safety functions of that SFM and would prevent other SFMs from performing their safety functions.
2.5 Simplicity section provides a description of the simplicity attributes that have been considered and rporated into the design of the I&C architecture. Simplicity is an evaluation performed across fundamental design principles: independence, redundancy, predictability and repeatability, diversity.
plicity has been considered throughout the development of the TRPS, ESFAS, and NFDS tems. The I&C system architecture is consistent with proven safety systems designs used for lear production facilities.
HIPS technology used for the TRPS and ESFAS is based on only four core modules. The of FPGA technology allows for modules to perform a broader range of unique functions yet ze the same core components. Increased flexibility with core components provides simplified ntainability. The quantity of spare parts can be reduced to blank modules that are grammed and configured as needed.
ctions within the FPGA of each module are implemented with finite state machines in order to ieve deterministic behavior. The HIPS platform does not rely on complex system/platform trollers. Dedicating SFMs to a function or group of functions based on its input provides rent function segmentation creating simpler and separate SFMs that can be more easily ed. This segmentation also helps limit module failures to a subset of safety functions.
NE Medical Technologies 7.2-6 Rev. 0
munication protocol. Autonomous modules allow for simpler component testing, lementation, and integration.
of fundamentally different FPGA architectures provides a simple and verifiable approach to ipment and design diversity. By simply implementing safety functions on an SFM based on its ts, safety functions have been segmented to provide functional diversity. The discrete and grammable logic circuits on an EIM provide a clear distinction between those portions that are are not vulnerable to a software common cause failure (CCF). These diversity attributes plify the TRPS and ESFAS systems design by not having to install a separate diverse ation system to address software CCF concerns.
lementation of triple redundant communication within a division of a HIPS platform increases number of components (e.g., additional communication modules) but provides simpler ntenance and self-testing. A single communication path would be vulnerable to undetectable res. Failure of a data path or CM with triple redundant communication is simpler in parison. A single failure does not cause all safety functions of that division to be inoperable.
ctions within the FPGA of each module are implemented with finite state machines in order to ieve deterministic behavior. Deterministic behavior allows implementation of a simple munication protocol using a predefined message structure with fixed time intervals. This ple periodic communication scheme is used throughout the architecture. Communication ween SFMs and CMs is implemented through a simple and well-established RS-485 physical
- r. The configurable transmit-only or receive-only ports on a communication module use a t-to-point physical layer. Communication between modules is done asynchronously which plifies implementation by avoiding complex syncing techniques.
NFDS is an analog system with no digital communications.

uirements are provided in Sections 7.3 through 7.8.
NE uses a documented methodology for establishing and calibrating setpoints for safety-ted I&C functions. A combination of statistical and algebraic methods is used to combine rument uncertainties to determine the total instrument loop uncertainty for each setpoint. The hodology considers both random and non-random uncertainties, and considers process asurement and miscellaneous effects uncertainties, sensor uncertainties, and protection tem processing uncertainties. The methodology is used to ensure an adequate margin exists ween analytical limits and instrument setpoints so that protective actions are initiated before ty limits are exceeded.
4 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS section includes performance analysis information related to the HIPS platform, which is d for both the TRPS and ESFAS safety-related control system. Information specific to the PS and ESFAS is contained in Sections 7.4 and 7.5, respectively. Performance analysis rmation related to other I&C systems is contained in Sections 7.3, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8.
gnostic and maintenance features provided by the HIPS platform features include the use of T, cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), periodic surveillance testing, and other tests in each type odule, as appropriate, to verify normal operation.
hassis calibration of the defined setpoints and tunable parameters can be performed for the M. Other modules are only capable of maintenance changes when taken out of the chassis.
calibration uses the MWS as the primary interface. The CMs do not require calibration.
re are no setpoints and tunable parameters in the CM that need monitoring. Calibration of the M involves the analog input submodules. The discrete input submodule does not require bration.
HIPS platform has end-to-end self-testing that covers each module from sensor input to the put switching logic (except for the discrete circuitry of the APL). The individual self-tests on different components of the HIPS platform evaluate whether the entire platform is functioning ectly. The APL (which contains discrete logic) periodic surveillance testing, as required in the nical specifications, determines if the APL is functioning correctly. In the overlap method, the dules check if each module is functioning correctly, and the error checking on the munication buses verifies that the transfer of data is correct.
surveillance testing on analog and temperature input submodule (ISM) types uses the MWS he primary test interface. Self-testing for an SFM with a discrete ISM is sufficient for checking performance of the submodule, since there are no calibration requirements. The self-testing a discrete input submodule verifies pins for "stuck low," "stuck high," "shorts," or "open."
-testing performed by the SFM includes the following:
- SFM BIST including startup and operational testing of the FPGA and nonvolatile memory (NVM)
- SFM FPGA voltage checks during startup and operation
- SFM monitors work-cycle performance NE Medical Technologies 7.2-8 Rev. 0
-testing performed by the EIM includes the following:
- EIM BIST including startup and operational testing of the FPGA and NVMs
- EIM FPGA voltage checks during startup and operation
- EIM monitors work-cycle performance
- the data message error checking
- discrete input operation self-testing
- high-drive output self-testing
- two-out-of-three voting logic for the three safety data bus inputs CMs do not require surveillance testing. Self-testing of the logic is incorporated into the T feature provided by the FPGA the logic is built into. The data message error checking also ects any failures that may occur in the CM.
BIST feature in the FPGA logic is separate and independent of the FPGA safety function c; thus, the programming of the safety function FPGA logic is not made more complex by the usion of the diagnostic and self-test FPGA logic.
GAs on the SFM and EIM use the BIST feature provided by the FPGA. The BIST in a static dom-access memory-based FPGA is used for checking the functionality of the NVM and the GAs included on each module. The BIST checks both the NVM and the FPGA upon startup continuously during normal operation. NVM and FPGA self-test errors during startup result in l faults. The BIST in a one-time programmable or flash-based FPGA does not check the logic figuration because the logic in this type of FPGA is a fixed configuration. Once this figuration is established, it remains fixed when the FPGA is powered or when it is not ered.
communication integrity self-testing performed on the SDBs (i.e., redundancy failure ection, synchronization/timing failure detection, CRC failure detection, and protocol failure) ects communication errors caused by an upstream module, communication data links, or munication processing with the module itself.
ification of the integrity of the communicated information between modules by CRC check is ther type of test provided by the HIPS platform. This capability includes a high degree of fault ection on the HIPS bus, since the data that is sampled on the bus must match the calculated e and must be there at the correct time of the HIPS bus transaction to be declared valid.
ification of the integrity of the NVM memory by CRC check is another type of self-test vided by the HIPS platform. This capability during startup and operation includes an omatic check to ensure that NVM has not been changed or corrupted.
performance of the core logic within the SFM FPGA, as well as the SDB communications es, can be monitored by reviewing the results of the periodic injection of a PTDA test signal one core logic within the SFM FPGA in a round robin fashion. The effects of the PTDA can observed by reviewing actuation status data information transmitted out of the HIPS platform g the MIB. The test injection can be used to confirm that the core logic and the SDBs are tioning correctly from the SFM output through the two-out-of-three triple modular redundant NE Medical Technologies 7.2-9 Rev. 0
functional and can process PTDA decisions made in the SFM logic.
HIPS platform has design features that directly support methods to perform cross-checking ween redundant safety-system channel sensors or between sensor channels that bear a wn relationship to each other. The HIPS platform design features use coincidence logic port implementation of application-specific diagnostic logic and confirmation of continued cution with the use of the MWS.
S modules include light emitting diodes that are used to determine the state of the module hes, the operational state of the module, and the presence of any faults. The HIPS platform
-testing features and the associated front panel light emitting diodes allow for the timely tification of certain malfunctions within the HIPS equipment.

The process addresses the potential cyber security vulnerabilities ysical and electronic) in the developmental phases of the software and the controls to prevent uthorized physical and electronic access. The secure development controls are applied from eloping the requirements of the software, designing the software, integrating the hardware software, and testing the system. The development controls include physical access controls he development facility, personnel access controls that limit access to the TRPS and ESFAS ign information to authorized individuals, and the use of an isolated development network N).

cific requirements are defined for the TRPS and ESFAS that provide and maintain a secure rational environment during the defined modes of operation. A requirements traceability rix is used throughout the development process. Bi-directional traceability is independently fied to ensure that requirements are implemented (forward tracing) and that no unwanted or ecessary code has been introduced (backward tracing).
5.2 Cyber Security Design Features TRPS and ESFAS are designed using a defensive system architecture, as shown in ure 7.1-1.
NE Medical Technologies 7.2-10 Rev. 0

- Communication ports that are for communication outside of a HIPS chassis implement the one-way communication with hardware.
- Communication from an MWS to a HIPS chassis is only allowed when the affected module is placed out of service by activating the out of service (OOS) switch using a temporary cable that is attached from the MWS to a HIPS chassis.
- No capability for remote access to the safety system is included with the HIPS platform design.

- FPGAs on any of the HIPS modules cannot be modified (for static random-access memory type) or replaced (for one-time programmable or flash types) while installed in the HIPS chassis.
- Capability to modify modules installed in the HIPS chassis is limited to setpoints and tunable parameters that may require periodic modification.
h division of TRPS and ESFAS systems has a nonsafety-related MWS for the purpose of ne monitoring and offline maintenance and calibration. The HIPS platform MWS supports ne monitoring through one-way isolated communication ports. The MWS is used to update oints and tunable parameters in the HIPS chassis when the safety function is out of service.
sical and logical controls are put in place to prevent modifications to a safety channel when it eing relied upon to perform a safety function. A temporary cable and OOS switch are required e activated before any changes can be made to an SFM. When the safety function is oved from service, either in bypass or trip, an indication is provided by the HIPS platform that be used to drive an alarm in the facility control room to inform the operator. Adjustments to ameters are performed in accordance with facility technical specifications, including any that blish the minimum number of redundant safety channels that must remain operable for the licable operating mode and conditions.

6.6 Configuration Management 6.6.1 Development Phase Configuration Management figuration management of the development of safety-related control systems has been gated to the vendor and is applied to data and documentation used to produce, verify, test, show compliance with the programmable logic used in the TRPS and ESFAS. The grammable logic configuration management process is described in this subsection.
figuration identification is the first activity of configuration management. Configuration tification identifies items to be controlled, establishes identification schemes for the items their versions, and establishes the tools and methods to be used in acquiring and managing trolled items. Configuration identification provides a starting point for other configuration nagement activities. Configuration identification provides the ability to:
- Identify the components of the system throughout the development process, and
- Trace between the programmable logic and its development process data.
h configuration item is uniquely identified. The identification method includes a naming vention with version numbers or letters. The configuration identification facilitates storage, eval, tracking, reproduction, and distribution of configuration items. The following figuration items are identified and are placed under configuration management:
- Design input documents
- Design output documents
- System requirements specifications
- System design specifications NE Medical Technologies 7.2-19 Rev. 0
- Programmable logic requirements models
- Programmable logic design models
- Programmable logic hardware description language code
- Verification and validation data and documents
- Programmable logic development environment
- Change requests including customer deviation / exception requests and interim change notices
- Third-party vendor supplied documents
- Third-party vendor supplied software TRPS and ESFAS vendor Configuration Management Plan specifies a numbering scheme project data and documents.
integrated development environment (IDE) tool is used to store and manage configuration
- s. Configuration items such as data, requirements, models, code files, reports, and tests are ed and placed under source control in the IDE tool. The IDE tool is used to perform the wing configuration management activities:
- Review changes in modified files
- Run impact analysis
- Run project integrity checks
- Commit modified files into source control
- Discard modifications made to committed files
- Retrieve configuration items from source control
- Revert to a previous version of a file
- View and report configuration item source control information figuration baselines are established at various points in the project. A baseline is the grammable logic and its data at a point in time. The baseline serves as a basis for further elopment. Once a baseline is established, changes can only be made through the change trol process described in the TRPS and ESFAS Configuration Management Plan.
elines are established after each development phase, at the completion of the formal review he V&V team. The following baselines are established:
- Requirements Baseline
- Design Baseline
- Implementation Baseline
- Test Baseline elining is performed by committing phase configuration items into source control and listing configuration item in the master configuration list, as specified in the vendor system design trol procedure. The project file contains and manages programmable logic configuration s in one project folder structure allowing committing of all project phase configuration items g one project file in the IDE tool.
aselined configuration item is traceable to the baselined configuration item from which it was eloped.

proposed change to a baselined configuration item is subject to the change control and ew requirements in the TRPS and ESFAS Configuration Management Plan. The change in us is flagged in the IDE tool and the file is baselined after the change control and review uirements are satisfied.
e the configuration item is baselined, only authorized personnel can change the configuration
. Changes to baselined configuration items are planned, documented, approved, and ked in accordance with a change control process.
IDE tool records each change to baselined configuration items, including who made the nge, and can discard changes that have been implemented or revert to any previous baseline r the changed configuration item has been baselined.
archival and retrieval process involves the storage of data so that it can be accessed by horized personnel. Project documents and records are retained and filed in the system gration document package and are stored in dual remote storage locations to preclude loss sed by natural disasters. The archival and retrieval process ensures:
- Accuracy and completeness
- Protection from unauthorized change
- Quality of storage media and protection from disaster
- Accuracy of retrieval and duplication grammable logic code load controls include approved load procedures, load verification, and marking verification.
programmable logic development environment includes the tools, methods, procedures, gramming languages, and hardware used to develop, verify, control, and produce the grammable logic. The tools identification data, including version numbers, are listed in the ster Configuration List.
code generation tools version is automatically included in the code files. The tool version d to develop the programmable logic is verified as the version on the master configuration list.
nges to the development environment are subject to change control.
figuration reviews are required for configuration items prior to shipment. The configuration its include both document configuration items and programmable logic components.
figuration status accounting involves recording and reporting information that is needed to ctively manage the programmable logic configuration items development, verification, and dation processes. Reports are generated to inform managers, developers, and SHINE about project status. Configuration status accounting reports provide consistent, reliable, and timely us information that enhances communication, avoids duplication, and prevents repeat takes. The configuration status accounting reports provide the following information:
NE Medical Technologies 7.2-21 Rev. 0
- Status of released data and files
- List of baselined contents and differences from previous baseline figuration status accounting reports include the master configuration list, model development orts, and change request and test anomaly reports.
master configuration list identifies hardware part numbers and the programmable logic code ociated with the hardware. Before loading the code onto the hardware, the identification of the grammable logic code and the hardware is performed to ensure compatibility.
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) vendor supplied documents or software are edited by the ty-related control system vendor project team. The document versions and software versions recorded upon receipt in the master configuration list and should not change. Therefore, her configuration change procedures nor baselining apply to COTS documents or software.
urchase order issued by the safety-related control system vendor to a third-party vendor for a TS program or technical calculations typically contains:
- a description of the major components of the software design, as they relate to the software requirements,
- a technical description of the software with respect to the theoretical basis, mathematical model, control flow, data flow, control logic and data structure,
- a description of the allowable or prescribed ranges for inputs and outputs, and
- the design described in a manner that can be translated into code.
purchase order requires the vendor to provide a software design description and evidence of fication and validation.
third-party vendor software and documentation are verified for sufficiency such that a person is technically qualified in the subject is able to understand the third-party vendor deliverables verify the adequacy of the results without recourse to the originator.
6.6.2 Post-Installation Phase Configuration Management figuration management of any post-installation changes or modifications required to the ty-related control systems has been delegated to the vendor. Processes equivalent to those d for initial development, described in Subsection 7.2.6.6.1, are followed. SHINE maintains rsight of the vendor, authorization of changes, control of the scope of changes, and luation of the change against the requirements of the SHINE facility license.
6.7 Independent Testing elopment, review, and release of V&V generated test documents and execution of tests is ormed by the vendor in accordance with the TRPS and ESFAS Test Plan and Verification Validation Plan. V&V personnel are responsible for hardware and software test setup.

Measures are n to establish that tools, gauges, instruments, and other measuring and testing devices used ctivities affecting quality are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified periods aintain accuracy within acceptable limits. Testing activities include both pre-FAT and FAT.
pre-FAT ensures that the FAT procedures are developed properly and the TRPS and FAS protection systems components conform to the SyRS in an operating integrated system ironment. The pre-FAT informally executes the FAT procedures to determine their suitability, ectness, completeness, and efficiency of the test procedures.
FAT validates the system hardware conforms to the system requirements as defined in the S and documented in the TRPS and ESFAS requirements traceability matrix.
FAT is performed on each protection system and includes integration tests and system tests.

- 4. Changes implemented and tested: Change requests submitted during testing have been performed in accordance with the TRPS and ESFAS Configuration Management Plan and are implemented and tested.
re is no process risk associated with either the TRPS and ESFAS test plan or implementation he related FAT. The FAT is conducted using simulated inputs, using either measurement and equipment generated signals or computer-based test systems. The outputs are not nected to any plant process equipment, but are connected to displays, measurement and test ipment, or computer-based indication and data collection equipment. No equipment is rated outside of design parameters; therefore, there is no expectation of equipment failure.
only risks associated with the TRPS and ESFAS test plan are schedule compliance and sfaction of test acceptance criteria.
6.8 Project Risk Management vendor TRPS and ESFAS Project Management Plan describes the risk management vities for the project. The risk management approach consists of five activities:
- 1. Risk identification
- 2. Risk analysis NE Medical Technologies 7.2-24 Rev. 0
- 5. Risk tracking and control k identification activities occur throughout the project lifecycle. Identified risks are umented in a safety-related control system vendor project risk register, which includes a cription of the risk, areas of concern, likelihood, mitigating actions, and possible sequences. The project risk register may also describe the impacts to stakeholders, umptions, constraints, relationship to other project risks, possible alternatives, as well as acts to the project budget, schedule, or deliverables.
h identified risk is analyzed to determine the type and the extent of the impacts should the situation or event occur. The analysis considers several relevant factors and includes any umptions made, constraints, and sensitivity of the risk item.
k mitigation planning involves developing plans for mitigation and/or contingency actions for a cific risk. The risk mitigation plans address topics such as:
- Identification of mitigation and contingency actions for funding, schedule, staff or resources
- Identification of actions to be taken to reduce the likelihood or consequences of impact on the project
- Determination of the planned response based on a cost/benefit analysis
- Assignment of responsibility for each mitigation and contingency action k tracking, monitoring, and control assesses how the project risk profile is changing ughout the project lifecycle, as well the effectiveness of any mitigation/contingency plans that e been executed. When changes to the risk occur, the process to identify, analyze, and plan peated. Existing risk mitigation plans are modified to change the approach if the desired ct is not being achieved.

2 DESIGN BASIS PICS is designed to allow the operator to perform irradiation cycles, transfer target solution nd from the irradiation unit (IU) as well as through the production facility, and interface with tritium purification system (TPS), supercell, waste handling, and auxiliary systems.
modes of operation for the functions of the PICS that interface with individual IUs correspond he mode of that IU (see Subsection 7.3.3). Portions of the PICS that monitor or control mon or facility-wide systems are not mode-dependent.
PICS control cabinets are located in the non-radiologically controlled areas of the main duction facility and PICS components are in various plant areas with varying environmental ditions. The PICS is designed for the normal environmental and radiological conditions vided in Tables 7.2-1 through 7.2-6.
3 DESCRIPTION PICS is a collection of instrumentation and control equipment located throughout the facility upport monitoring, indication, and control of various systems. Decentralized implementation he PICS functions allows subsets of the system to perform functions independent of each er. A portion of the PICS supports the main control board and operator workstations in the lity control room by receiving operator commands and collecting and transmitting facility rmation to the operators, as described in Section 7.6. A summary of the PICS facility system rfaces is provided in Figure 7.3-1.
3.1 Irradiation Unit Systems PICS is used to monitor parameters and perform manual and automatic actions during each he operational modes of a subcritical assembly system (SCAS):
Mode 0 - Solution Removed: No target solution in the SCAS Mode 1 - Startup: Filling the TSV Mode 2 - Irradiation: Operating mode (neutron driver active)
Mode 3 - Post-Irradiation: TSV dump valves open Mode 4 - Transfer to RPF: Dump tank drain valves open to permit solution transfer NE Medical Technologies 7.3-2 Rev. 0
ling system (PCLS), and the neutron flux detection system (NFDS).
de 0 - Solution Removed ode 0, the PICS provides the capability to control equipment needed to transition an diation unit into Mode 1, including closing the TSV fill valves and dump valves and starting the GS blowers as needed to meet mode transition criteria. The PICS also provides monitoring controls of the common TPS, which is integrated with the modes of operation for each ell.
de 1 - Startup Mode r the operator transitions the IU to Mode 1 using the operating mode input to TRPS, the PICS sed to open the TSV fill valves and operate the vacuum transfer system to add target solution he TSV from the associated TSV hold tank. The PICS also provides a defense-in-depth rlock to prevent the TSV fill valves from opening if one or more TOGS blowers is not running, arate from the TRPS Mode 0 to Mode 1 transition criteria.
TSV is filled incrementally. The TSV fill increment is determined by 1/M calculations. The rator may use the PICS as a check to calculate the next required fill volume based on the calculation. The PICS also provides defense-in-depth time limits and interlocks to control the ximum volumetric step addition during the 1/M fill process to prevent challenging the TRPS Stop actuation function described in Section 7.4.
de 2 - Irradiation en the TSV fill has been completed, PICS is used to close the TSV fill valves to meet Mode 2 sition criteria. The PICS provides an interlock with the source range channel of the NFDS to vent TSV irradiation without sufficient neutron counts on the detectors, and when that missive is met, PICS is used to close the neutron driver breakers to enable the target solution e TSV to be irradiated. The PICS interfaces with the NDAS control system to start or stop the er, and is used to control the introduction of tritium into the NDAS target from the TPS.
ing irradiation, PICS is used to monitor neutron flux levels, concentrations of radiolytic gases erated, NDAS performance parameters, and other parameters associated with the irradiation cess.
de 3 - Post-Irradiation neutron driver breakers are opened by the PICS, ending the irradiation period and satisfying mode transition criteria, allowing the operator to transition from Mode 2 to Mode 3. When sitioning from Mode 2 to Mode 3 during normal operations, the PICS uses the mode sition signal from the TRPS to automatically open the TSV dump valves to drain the target tion to the dump tank. While in Mode 3, the PICS is used to monitor TOGS and SCAS rational parameters while the solution is held for decay.
NE Medical Technologies 7.3-3 Rev. 0
r the operator transitions the IU to Mode 4, the PICS is used to open the TSV dump tank n isolation valve allowing the target solution to be vacuum lifted out of the IU cell, pumped ugh an extraction column, and drained to a target solution hold tank. The PICS is used to ct the flow path for the transfer to the desired extraction cell and to operate the vacuum sfer system (VTS) which accomplishes the lift.
en the solution has been removed from the dump tank, the operator uses PICS to verify that
-high TSV dump tank level is inactive, meeting the Mode 4 to Mode 0 transition criteria.
3.2 Process Systems PICS provides the automated and manual control of systems used to prepare target tion, transfer target solution between locations within the facility, extract and purify isotopes terest, and manage radioactive waste.
get Solution Preparation get solution preparation activities are performed by the target solution preparation system PS) and uranium receipt and storage system (URSS) and are described in more detail in tion 4b.4. PICS provides monitoring and alarming functions for parameters associated with TSPS preparation and dissolution tanks, including alarms to alert the operators of potential rflow of the TSPS dissolution tank into the TSPS glovebox. PICS is also used to monitor ameters and provide alarms associated with TSPS and URSS glovebox operation.
get Solution Transfer get solution transfer activities occur throughout the facility in order to remove irradiated tion from the TSV dump tank, extract isotopes, and return target solution to an IU. These vities are accomplished by the VTS and target solution staging system (TSSS), described in e detail in Sections 9b.2 and 4b.4, respectively. PICS provides level information associated VTS and TSSS process tanks and position indication information for process control valves acilitate automatic and manual control of solution transfers between tanks.
ope Extraction and Purification ope extraction and purification activities are performed by the molybdenum extraction and fication system (MEPS), molybdenum isotope product packaging system (MIPS), and iodine xenon purification and packaging (IXP) system, which are described in Section 4b.3. The S is used to transfer irradiated target solution from the TSV dump tank to the extraction cess, as described above. The PICS is also used to monitor parameters associated with the action and purification processes, including reagent additions and tank levels. Process tem control valves are operated by the PICS.
ioactive Liquid Drains ins from vaults, trenches, and other areas where uranium-bearing solutions may be present part of the radioactive drain system (RDS), described in Subsection 9b.7.2. PICS is used to NE Medical Technologies 7.3-4 Rev. 0
ioactive Liquid Waste ioactive liquid waste is stored in the radioactive liquid waste storage system (RLWS) and obilized in the radioactive liquid waste immobilization system (RLWI). These systems are cribed in detail in Section 9b.7. The PICS is used to monitor tank levels and temperatures, trol the operation of system valves, and provide functionality to support administrative trols related to the transfer of radioactive liquid waste between tanks using the VTS.
S is also used to support the RLWI process by providing control of RLWI pumps and trolling the waste drum operation through the waste solidification skid, including drum fill and ing operations.
3.3 Other Facility Systems PICS provides the automated control and operator interface to manually control aspects of facility auxiliary and electrical systems.
ctrical PICS is used to monitor and provide alarms for parameters related to the facility electrical tems, including the uninterruptible electrical power supply system (UPSS), the normal trical power supply system (NPSS), and the standby generator system (SGS). The PICS provides the manual ability to open or close motorized breakers. Electrical systems are ussed in Chapter 8.
PICS remains operational upon a loss of off-site power for a minimum of 10 minutes (see section 7.3.4). The PICS provides automatic and manual control of the SGS, including the omatic function to start and load the SGS after a loss of off-site power event.
PICS also provides the automatic function of disconnecting the on-site electric power tems from the utility on loss of phase, phase reversal, undervoltage, and overvoltage.
tilation, Heating and Cooling ility heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are described in Section 9a2.1 facility cooling systems are described in Chapter 5.

ance of Plant PICS provides select monitoring and control capabilities for other balance of plant systems e main production facility, including, but not limited to, the facility nitrogen handling system HS) and the facility demineralized water system (FDWS).
NE Medical Technologies 7.3-5 Rev. 0
PICS contains a seismic monitoring system, which includes instrumentation, control inets, and a dedicated computer for monitoring seismic activity in the safety-related portion of facility. The seismic monitoring system provides event recording time histories for seismic nts and provides indication of a seismic event to the PICS for alarm in the facility control
- m. Data may be retrieved from the seismic monitoring system by either the dedicated puter or via the operator workstation in the facility control room.
3.4 Safety-Related Control and Indication Systems PICS contains no safety-related controls and has no safety-related functions, however, the ty-related TRPS, ESFAS, NFDS and safety-related radiation monitors provide nonsafety-ted system status and measured process variable values to the PICS for viewing, recording, trending. The PICS is also used to transmit discrete hardwired signals to the TRPS and FAS for deliberate operator action to return the TRPS or ESFAS to a normal operating state.
4 OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE PICS is designed to operate under normal facility conditions and anticipated transients to ure adequate safety for the facility.
design of the PICS allows operators to remove main control board or operator workstation lays from service without impacting the operation of the remaining portions of the PICS.
PICS includes local battery supplies sufficient to allow the PICS to continue to operate for at t 10 minutes after a loss of external power. The 10-minute design supports starting and ing the defense-in-depth SGS within five minutes following a loss of off-site power event (see tion 8a2.2).
mponents controlled by the PICS assume a defined safe state on loss of electrical power.
5 ACCESS CONTROL AND CYBER SECURITY PICS does not use the secure development and operating environment implemented for the ty-related control systems described in Section 7.2.5, but rather incorporates features mensurate with the risk and magnitude of the harm that would result from unauthorized and propriate access, use disclosure, disruption, or destruction of this nonsafety-related control tem.
PICS does not allow remote access. Remote access is defined as the ability to access the ponents of the operator workstations, main control board, PICS display cabinet, and other S controllers and cabinets from a location with less physical security.
PICS includes the capability to disable, through software or physical disconnection, eeded networks, communication ports and removable media drives or provide engineered iers.
PICS does not use any wireless interface capabilities for control functions.

1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION target solution vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system (TRPS) performs various design is safety functions for accelerator-based irradiation processes taking place within each diation unit (IU) cell of the SHINE production facility. While operating, the TRPS performs ous detection, logic processing, control, and actuation functions associated with the SHINE diation process. The TRPS includes input/output capabilities necessary to interface with ous indications and control components located within the facility control room. The TRPS provides nonsafety-related system status and measured process variable values to the lity process integrated control system (PICS) for viewing, recording, and trending.
TRPS monitors variables important to the safety functions of the irradiation process during h operating mode of the IU to perform one or more of the following safety functions:
- IU Cell Safety Actuation
- IU Cell Nitrogen Purge
- Driver Dropout TRPS also performs the nonsafety defense-in-depth Fill Stop function.
TRPS monitors the IU cell from filling of the TSV through irradiation of the target solution, ping of the target solution, and transfer of the target solution to the radioisotope production lity (RPF). All advances to the modes of operation throughout the irradiation process are nually initiated by the operator and the TRPS implements the required mode-specific system rlocks and bypasses; however, the TRPS does not automatically determine the mode of ration. If at any point during the irradiation process a monitored variable indicating unsafe ditions exceeds its setpoint, the TRPS automatically places the IU into a safe state. The PS logic diagrams are shown in Figure 7.4-1.
TRPS uses redundant and independent sensors through three divisions to complete the cal decisions necessary to initiate the required protective trips and actuations. When a TRPS t channel exceeds a predetermined limit, the trip determinations from each division of the PS are sent to voting logic where a two-out-of-three coincident logic vote is performed to ate a trip or actuation. The general architecture of the TRPS is shown in Figure 7.1-2.
en a TRPS output is in its normal, energized state, it does not control the position of the ation component. Instead, the TRPS and the PICS are arranged in a series configuration for PICS to control the component normally, and deenergizing the output of the TRPS forces the ponent to its safe state via the physical design of the valve or breaker. The only exception to control configuration is for the nitrogen purge system inerting gas valves and the radiological tilation IU cell dampers. For these components, the TRPS assumes normal control, and PICS has control of the component when appropriate permissives are active.

3 DESIGN BASIS TRPS is used to initiate protective actions of the IU in response to monitored variables eeding predetermined limits. Modes of operation are used within the TRPS to set interlocks he applicable variables for each operating mode in the IU and to create permissives for wing the operator to perform certain actions with the safety-related TRPS components.
3.1 Mode Transition perating modes are described in Subsection 7.3.3.1.

rating permissive. Before an operator is able to transition to a different mode, the transition ria conditions must be met. Figure 7.4-2 shows a state diagram of the mode transitions.
de 0 to Mode 1 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent transitioning from Mode 0 to Mode 1 until the TSV dump valves TSV fill isolation valves have been confirmed to be closed and TSV off-gas system (TOGS) nstream flow is at or above the low flow limit. Normal control of actuation component itions when going from Mode 0 to Mode 1 is manual and independent from TRPS mode sition.
de 0 to Mode 3 Transition Criteria nsition from Mode 0 to Mode 3 is initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an operator manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition erates an IU Cell Safety Actuation.
de 1 to Mode 2 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent transitioning from Mode 1 to Mode 2 until the TSV fill isolation es indicate fully closed and the [
]PROP/ECI. Normal control of actuation ponent positions when going from Mode 1 to Mode 2 is manual and independent from TRPS de transition.
de 1 to Mode 3 Transition Criteria nsition from Mode 1 to Mode 3 is initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an operator manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition erates IU Cell Safety Actuation.
de 2 to Mode 3 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent transitioning from Mode 2 to Mode 3 until the neutron driver embly system (NDAS) high voltage power supply (HVPS) breakers have been confirmed ned. Normal control of the HVPS breakers from closed to open is manual and independent TRPS mode transition. Normal transition of the dump valves to the open position is omated by PICS upon receipt of a mode transition signal from TRPS to PICS signifying that TRPS has entered Mode 3.
nsition from Mode 2 to Mode 3 may also be initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an rator via manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this sition generates an IU Cell Safety Actuation.
NE Medical Technologies 7.4-7 Rev. 0
nsition of the TRPS from Mode 3 to Mode 4 is prevented if an automated IU Cell Safety uation is present. Normal control of actuation components is manual and independent from PS mode transition.
de 3 to Secure State Transition Criteria nsition from Mode 3 to the secure state is initiated manually by an operator via disengaging facility master operating permissive. While operating in the secure state, transition to another de of operation is not allowed.
de 4 to Mode 0 Transition Criteria TRPS permissives prevent the transition from Mode 4 to Mode 0 until the TSV dump tank l is below the low-high dump tank level setpoint. There is no requirement for normal control of actuation components to transition from Mode 4 to Mode 0.
de 4 to Mode 3 Transition Criteria nsition from Mode 4 to Mode 3 is initiated automatically by TRPS or manually by an operator manual actuation or the facility master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition erates an IU Cell Safety Actuation.
ure State to Mode 3 Transition Criteria nsition from the secure state to Mode 3 is initiated manually by an operator via engaging the lity master operating permissive. Initiation of this transition permits a transition to another de of operation.
3.2 Safety Functions 3.2.1 IU Cell Safety Actuation IU Cell Safety Actuation is initiated in response to high neutron flux levels or when other cess variables indicate abnormal conditions. An IU Cell Safety Actuation shuts down the diation process and isolates the primary system boundary and primary confinement ndary.
U Cell Safety Actuation causes a transition of the TRPS to Mode 3 operation, isolation of the ary system boundary, and isolation of the primary confinement boundary via transition of h of the following components to their deenergized state.

IU Cell Nitrogen Purge consists of an automatically or manually initiated transition of each of following components to their deenergized state and providing a signal to the engineered NE Medical Technologies 7.4-9 Rev. 0
- Nitrogen purge system (N2PS) inerting gas isolation valves
- TOGS nitrogen vent isolation valves
- TOGS RPCS supply isolation valves
- TOGS RPCS return isolation valve TRPS initiates an IU Cell Nitrogen Purge based on the following variables:
- Low-high TSV dump tank level
- High-high TSV dump tank level
- Low TOGS oxygen concentration
- Low TOGS mainstream flow (Train A)
- Low TOGS mainstream flow (Train B)
- Low TOGS dump tank flow

- ESFAS loss of external power 3.2.3 Driver Dropout river Dropout responds to monitored variables that indicate a loss of neutron driver output or ss of cooling to allow the SCAS to recover from NDAS or PCLS transients. A Driver Dropout tions differently depending on whether it was initiated based on loss of neutron driver output oss of cooling.
TRPS initiates a Driver Dropout based on:
- Low power range neutron flux
- Low PCLS flow
- High PCLS temperature TRPS initiates a loss of neutron driver Driver Dropout on low power range neutron flux by ning the NDAS HVPS breakers with a timed delay. The breakers are then interlocked open l the [ ]PROP/ECI. This on prevents the neutron driver from restarting in situations when a restart may exceed lyzed conditions for the SCAS. Driver Dropout on low power range neutron flux is bypassed l the power range neutron flux has reached the power range driver dropout permissive. After bypass of Driver Dropout on low power range neutron flux has been removed, it remains oved until a mode transition, the [
]PROP/ECI or both HVPS breakers are open. The TRPS implements a timed y of [ ]PROP/ECI from the time the low power range neutron flux signal is initiated, cating that the neutron flux has exceeded its lower limits, to when the TRPS output to the PS breakers is deenergized. If fewer than two-out-of-three low power range neutron flux ation signals are present before the timer has expired, then the low power range neutron flux r resets. This delay allows the neutron driver to be restarted or to restart automatically within lyzed conditions.

ts down the neutron driver to prevent overheating of the target solution, while allowing the et solution to remain within the TSV. The breakers are then interlocked open until the PCLS and temperature are in the allowable range. If PCLS flow and temperature are not in the wable range within 180 seconds, an IU Cell Safety Actuation is initiated, as described in section 7.4.3.2.1.
3.2.4 Fill Stop nonsafety-related Fill Stop function aids in controlling the rate of fill of the TSV. If Fill Stop ameters are not met, then the Fill Stop deenergizes the TSV fill isolation valves blocking the ath into the TSV.
ing Mode 1, after neutron flux detection system (NFDS) source range neutron flux has ched or exceeded 40 percent of the maximum 95 percent fill flux, if the TSV fill isolation valve closed position indication becomes inactive, then a [ ]PROP/ECI timer is initiated. If TSV fill isolation valve fully closed position indication is not active before the end of the
]PROP/ECI duration, then the TRPS initiates a Fill Stop. If the TSV fill isolation valve closed position indication is active prior to the end of the [ ]PROP/ECI duration, then PROP/ECI
[ ] timer resets.
ing Mode 1, after NFDS source range neutron flux has reached or exceeded 40 percent of maximum 95 percent fill flux, if the TSV fill isolation valve fully closed position indication omes active, a 5-minute timer is initiated. If the TSV fill isolation valve fully closed position cation becomes inactive prior to the duration of the 5-minute timer ending, then the TRPS ates a Fill Stop.
Fill Stop parameters ensure that target solution can only be added to the TSV for a ximum of [ ]PROP/ECI and that a 5-minute delay occurs between fill steps.
3.3 Target Solution Vessel Reactivity Protection System Monitored Variables le 7.4-1 identifies the specific variables that provide input into the TRPS and includes the rument range for covering normal and accident conditions, the accuracy for each variable, the analytical limit.
3.4 Operating Conditions TRPS control and logic functions are located inside of the facility control room, where the ironment is mild and not exposed to the irradiation process. However, cables providing als to and from the TRPS are routed through the radiologically controlled area (RCA) and the IUs, where those cables are exposed to harsher environments. Many of the sensors viding information to the TRPS are connected to the primary system boundary, so the cable ing to these sensors is exposed to the operating environment of the irradiation process.
ing normal operation, the TRPS equipment will operate in the applicable normal radiation ironments identified in Table 7.2-1 for up to 20 years, replaced at a frequency sufficient such the radiation qualification of the affected components is not exceeded.

conditioning (HVAC) systems are relied upon to maintain the temperature and humidity ameters in these areas. The facility HVAC systems are described in Section 9a2.1.
4 DESIGN ATTRIBUTES 4.1 Access Control ess control is detailed in Subsection 7.2.5.
4.2 Software Requirements Development tware requirements development is detailed in Subsection 7.2.6.
4.3 General Instrumentation and Control Design TRPS is powered from the uninterruptible electrical power supply system (UPSS), which vides a reliable source of power to maintain the TRPS functional during normal operation and ng and following a design basis event. The UPSS is designed to provide power to the TRPS wo hours after a loss of off-site power. The UPSS is described in Section 8a2.2.
actuation and priority logic (APL) portions within an equipment interface module (EIM) port the implementation of different actuation methods. The APL is implemented using rete components and is not vulnerable to a software common cause failure (CCF). Having capability for hardwired signals into each EIM supports the capability for additional and rse actuation means from automated actuation. As an example, a division of APL circuits y receive inputs automatically from the programmable logic portion of the TRPS, inputs from nual controls in the facility control room, and input signals from a nonsafety control system.
h the manual controls and nonsafety control system inputs come individually into the APL and downstream of the programmable logic portion of the TRPS architecture as shown in ure 7.1-2.
4.4 Single Failure TRPS consists of three divisions of input processing and trip determination and two divisions ctuation logic (see Figure 7.1-2), arranged such that no single failure can prevent a safety ation when required, and no single failure in a single measurement channel can generate an ecessary safety actuation.
only nonsafety inputs into the TRPS are those from the PICS for control, the discrete mode t, and monitoring and indication only variables. The nonsafety control signals from the PICS implemented through a hardwired parallel interface that requires the PICS to send a binary ress associated to the output state of the EIM along with a mirrored complement address.
mirrored complement address prevents any single incorrectly presented bit from addressing wrong EIM output state. To prevent the PICS from inadvertently presenting a valid address, TRPS contains a safety-related enable nonsafety switch that controls when the hardwired allel interface within the APL is active, thus controlling when the PICS inputs are allowed to s through the input circuitry and for use in the priority logic within the APL. When the enable safety switch is not active, the nonsafety-related control signal is ignored. If the enable NE Medical Technologies 7.4-12 Rev. 0
vides isolation for the nonsafety-related signal path.
discrete mode input has a unique input for each of Division A and Division B. The HWM vides isolation of the signal path into the TRPS. As a discrete input, the three failure modes are addressed are stuck high, stuck low, or oscillating. Because the TRPS only clocks in a mode on the rising edge of the mode input, an input stuck low or high would maintain the PS in the same mode and continue monitoring the variables important to the safe operation of mode. If the mode input began oscillating continuously between a logic high and low, the PS would only allow the mode to change if permissive conditions for the current mode are
. If the permissive conditions place the IU into a state that within the transitioned mode are ide of the predetermined operating limits, then the TRPS would initiate an IU Cell Safety uation and transition to and maintain Mode 3, ignoring any further input from the discrete de input.
h input variable to the TRPS for monitoring and indication only is processed on independent t submodules that are unique to that input. If the variable is not used for a safety function
, no trip determination is performed with the variable), then the variable is not connected to safety data buses and is only placed onto the monitoring and indication bus. The monitoring indication bus is used by the monitoring and indication communication module (MI-CM) out interacting with any of the safety data paths.
4.5 Independence Subsection 7.2.2 for independence applied to the TRPS.
4.6 Prioritization of Functions APL (which is constructed of discrete components and part of the EIM) is designed to vide priority to safety-related signals over nonsafety-related signals. Division A and Division B rity logic of the TRPS prioritizes the following TRPS inputs, with the first input listed having highest priority and each successive input in the list having a lower priority than the previous.
- 1) Automatic Safety Actuation, Manual Safety Actuation
- 2) PICS nonsafety control signals 4.7 Fail Safe ety actuations result in deenergizing one or more control outputs, and the controlled ponents are designed such that they go to their safe state when deenergized. On a loss of er to the TRPS, the TRPS deenergizes actuation components to the positions defined below:

missive conditions, bypasses, and interlocks are created in each mode of operation specific hat mode to allow the operator to progress the TRPS to the next mode of operation. The PS implements logic associated with each mode of operation to prevent an operator from vating a bypass through changing the IU cell mode out of sequential order. Each mode of NE Medical Technologies 7.4-14 Rev. 0

- The TRPS shall only transition from Mode 0 to Mode 1 if all TSV dump valve position indications and all TSV fill isolation valve indications indicate valves are fully closed and the TOGS mainstream flow is above the minimum flow rate.
- The TRPS shall only transition from Mode 1 to Mode 2 if the TSV fill isolation valve position indications indicate both valves are fully closed and the [

PCLS flow and high PCLS temperature do not initiate an IU Cell Safety Actuation until after me delay of 180 seconds from the start of the low PCLS flow or high PCLS temperature al. If fewer than two-out-of-three Low PCLS flow or high PCLS temperature signals are sent before the timer has expired, then the 180 second timer resets.

- High ATIS mixed-gas return line pressure
- TSV fill isolation valve not fully closed TRPS includes the ability for the operator to transition the system from Mode 3 operation to cure state of operation. While in the secure state, an interlock is maintained preventing the PS from transitioning to the next sequential mode. The control key, via use of a facility master rating permissive, is used to place the TRPS into and out of the secure state.
ety actuations and interlocks based on the following instrumentation channels are bypassed ode 4:
- High source range neutron flux signal

4.10 Completion of Protective Actions TRPS is designed so that once initiated, protective actions will continue to completion. Only berate operator action can be taken to reset the TRPS following a protective action.
ure 7.4-1, Sheet 11 and Sheet 12, show how the TRPS latches in a protective action and ntains the state of a protective action until operator input is initiated to reset the output of the PS.
output of the TRPS is designed so that actuation through automatic or manual means of a ty function can only deenergize the output. If there is no signal present from the automatic ty actuation or manual safety actuation, then the output of the EIM remains in its current
- e. A safety-related enable nonsafety switch allows a facility operator, after the switch has n brought to enable, to control the output state of the TRPS with a hardwired binary control al from the nonsafety-related controls. The enable nonsafety switch is classified as part of safety system and is used to prevent spurious nonsafety-related control signals from ersely affecting safety-related components. If the enable nonsafety switch is active, and no omatic safety actuation or manual safety actuation signals are present, the operator is able of energizing or deenergizing any EIM outputs using the nonsafety-related hardwired trol signals. If the enable nonsafety switch is not active, the nonsafety-related hardwired trol signals are ignored.

The TRPS bypasses safety actuations based on the high source range tron flux signal when filling activities cannot be in progress (i.e., Mode 2 and Mode 3),
ause the fill isolation valves are closed. The signal is transmitted as a discrete input to the PS from the NFDS through three independent and redundant channels, one for each division NE Medical Technologies 7.4-18 Rev. 0
5.2 Low Power Range Neutron Flux low power range neutron flux signal protects against loss of the neutron beam followed by a art of the neutron beam outside of analyzed conditions. The low power range neutron flux is used during the irradiation process (Mode 2) and is bypassed in the other modes of ration. Safety actuations based on the low power range neutron flux are bypassed until the er range neutron flux has reached the power range driver dropout permissive. Once power ge neutron flux levels have risen above the high setpoint, then the bypass on the low power ge neutron flux is removed. The power range neutron flux is measured as an analog input to TRPS from the NFDS through three independent and redundant channels, one for each sion of TRPS. When two-out-of-three or more low power range neutron flux signals are ve, a timer is started that must run to completion for a Driver Dropout to be initiated. If, while timer is running, less than two-out-of-three low power range neutron flux actuation signals are ve, the timer is reset and the TRPS continues operating under normal conditions.

3.3 Operating Conditions ESFAS control and logic functions operate inside of the facility control room where the ironment is mild and not exposed to the irradiation process. However, the cables for the FAS are routed through the radiologically controlled area to the process areas. The routed les have the potential to be exposed to more harsh conditions than the mild environment of facility control room. The sensors are located inside the process confinement boundary; efore, the terminations of the cables routed to the sensors are exposed to the high radiation ironment.
ing normal operation, the ESFAS equipment will operate in the applicable normal radiation ironments identified in Table 7.2-1 for up to 20 years, replaced at a frequency sufficient such the radiation qualification of the affected components is not exceeded.

4.3 General Instrumentation and Control Requirements ESFAS is powered from the uninterruptible electrical power supply system (UPSS), which vides a reliable source of power to maintain the ESFAS functional during normal operation during and following a design basis event. The UPSS is designed to provide power to the FAS controls for six hours after a loss of off-site power. The UPSS is described in tion 8a2.2.
actuation and priority logic (APL) portions within an equipment interface module (EIM) port the implementation of different actuation methods. The APL is implemented using rete components and is not vulnerable to a software common cause failure (CCF). Having capability for hardwired signals into each EIM supports the capability for additional and rse actuation means from automated actuation. As an example, a division of APL circuits y receive inputs automatically from the programmable logic portion of the ESFAS, inputs from nual controls in the facility control room, and input signals from a nonsafety control system.
h the manual controls and nonsafety control system inputs come individually into the APL and downstream of the programmable logic portion of the ESFAS architecture as shown in ure 7.1-3.
4.4 Single Failure ESFAS consists of three divisions of input processing and trip determination and two sions of actuation logic (see Figure 7.1-2) arranged so that no single failure can prevent a ty actuation when required.
only nonsafety inputs into the ESFAS are those from the PICS for controls. The nonsafety trol signals from the PICS are implemented through a hardwired parallel interface that uires the PICS to send a binary address associated to the output state of the EIM along with a ored complement address. The mirrored complement address prevents any single incorrectly sented bit from addressing the wrong EIM output state. To prevent the PICS from vertently presenting a valid address, the ESFAS contains a safety-related enable nonsafety ch that controls when the hardwired parallel interface within the APL is active, thus controlling n the PICS inputs are allowed to pass through the input circuitry and for use in the priority c within the APL. When the enable nonsafety switch is not active, the nonsafety-related NE Medical Technologies 7.5-19 Rev. 0

4.5 Independence escription of the application of independence to the ESFAS is provided in Subsection 7.2.2.
4.6 Prioritization of Functions h division of the ESFAS includes the analog logic circuitry necessary to prioritize the ESFAS ts. Automatic Safety Actuation or Manual Actuation are highest priority and PICS nonsafety trol inputs are lower in priority.
4.7 Fail-Safe fail-safe positions of components upon loss of power to ESFAS are provided in Table 7.5-2.
4.8 Setpoints points in the ESFAS are based on a documented methodology that identifies each of the umptions and accounts for the uncertainties in each instrument channel. The setpoint hodology is described in Subsection 7.2.3.
4.9 Operational Bypass, Permissives and Interlocks ntenance bypasses are described in Subsection 7.1.4.
ther Carbon Guard Bed 1 Isolation or Carbon Guard Bed 2 Isolation is active, then the Guard Misalignment Actuation is bypassed.
ESFAS starts a 180 second timer on loss of external power to the UPSS. If the indication of of external power to the UPSS clears prior to the 180 second timer expiring, the timer resets.
e timer expires, the ESFAS initiates an IU Cell Nitrogen Purge on loss of external power to UPSS.
safety inputs into the ESFAS are transferred from PICS through the hardwired module. The S inputs are bypassed with the enable nonsafety switch permitting the inputs to control FAS outputs when administrative procedures permit the operator to use the switch to enable PICS functionality with the ESFAS.
manual actuation inputs from the operators in the facility control room are connected directly he discrete APL. The manual actuation input into the priority logic does not have the ability to bypassed and will always have equal priority to the automated actuation signals over any er signals that are present.

FAS to normal operating conditions.
output of the ESFAS is designed so that actuation through automatic or manual means of a ty function can only change when a new position is requested. If there is no signal present the automatic safety actuation or manual actuation, then the output of the EIM remains in its ent state. A safety-related enable nonsafety switch allows an operator, after the switch has n brought to enable, to control the output state of the ESFAS with a hardwired binary control al from the nonsafety-related controls. The enable nonsafety switch is classified as part of safety system and is used to prevent spurious nonsafety-related control signals from ersely affecting safety-related components. If the enable nonsafety switch is active, and no omatic safety actuation or manual actuation signals are present, the operator is capable of rgizing or deenergizing any EIM outputs using the nonsafety-related hardwired control als. If the enable nonsafety switch is not active, the nonsafety-related hardwired control als are ignored.
4.11 Equipment Qualification FAS rack mounted equipment is installed in a mild operating environment and is designed to et the environmental conditions described in Subsection 7.4.3.4. Rack mounted ESFAS ipment is tested to appropriate standards to show that the effects of EMI/RFI and power ges are adequately addressed. Appropriate grounding of the ESFAS is performed in ordance with Section 5.2.1 of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ndard 1050-2004, IEEE Guide for Instrumentation and Control Equipment Grounding in erating Stations (IEEE, 2004b).

To support the use of manual actuations, the ESFAS includes isolated outputs each safety-related instrument channel to provide monitoring and indication information to the S.

The static display screens are used by the operator to verify the status of SHINE facility. The current mode of operation for each IU is displayed on a static display en on the associated status indication panel.
nual actuation interfaces (i.e., physical push buttons and switches), which provide diverse ans to actuate automated safety functions, are located in the space directly below the static lay screens at each status indication panel, as shown in Figure 7.6-2. In the same area as manual actuation interfaces, there is an enable nonsafety switch (labeled E/D for able/Disable), which allows operators to enable the PICS ability to manipulate equipment r control had been overwritten by the target solution vessel (TSV) reactivity protection system PS) or the engineered safety features actuation system (ESFAS). Manual actuations are not uired to ensure adequate safety of the facility, as described in Chapter 13.

operator workstations are centrally located in the facility control room facing the main control rd. Each workstation contains multiple equipment control display screens. One of the display ens is used to display the alarms present in the facility. Configuration of the operator kstations is shown in Figure 7.6-1.
er workstation can display any of the available PICS display screens for monitoring poses. Control of the IUs is split between the two workstations, with one workstation normally ponsible for control of IUs one through four, and the other workstation normally responsible control of IUs five through eight. Control of the process systems is split between the two kstations to prevent the two operators from inputting conflicting commands. While control of h UI or process is normally assigned to a particular workstation, control can also be sferred between workstations for operational flexibility. Only one workstation is allowed to t control commands to a particular IU at any time. One of the screens at the operator kstation is designated as monitoring only, so that when an alarm is present, the screen omatically changes the content displayed to the current alarms that are present without rrupting a control process. The remaining screens can be used for control or monitoring as operator tasks demand.
des of operation are advanced by the operator at the operator workstation through the use of equipment control screens. Even though the operator has the ability to advance the mode of ration at the workstation, maintaining of the current mode of operation is done in the ty-related control systems. If permissive conditions are not met to achieve the next mode of ration, the operator will not be able to move on to the following mode of operation until missive conditions have been achieved.
1.3 Supervisor Workstation supervisor workstation is located on the west side of the facility control room facing the rator workstations and the main control board. The supervisor workstation is raised from the lity control room floor and contains display screens used for monitoring facility status only.

1.4 Maintenance Workstation maintenance workstation receives diagnostic and indication information for the TRPS and ESFAS. Any module failure or warning is shown at the maintenance workstation and a log of h is maintained there for use. The maintenance workstation is also used to update setpoints in the safety function module in the chassis. This is done through a temporary connection to monitoring and indication communication module of the associated division, as described in tion 7.2.
Division A maintenance workstation is located in the Division A TRPS cabinet that houses TRPS for IUs 7 and 8. Division A of the TRPS is located on the south side of the facility trol room. The Division A maintenance workstation can also be used for performing ntenance on Division C cabinets.

The equipment control display screens e the capability of providing at least 30 minutes of data trending from instrumentation ables obtained from the ESFAS, TRPS, and those variables associated with identifying a ach of the primary system boundary or determining and assessing the magnitude of oactive material release to assist operators actions. Operator interaction with the equipment trol display screens is through a keyboard and mouse interface.
supervisor workstation provides monitoring only displays so that the supervisor can select monitor the appropriate screen to the current tasks being supported by the operator.
3.2 Operating Conditions operator workstations and the main control board are designed to operate in the normal ironmental conditions of the facility control room, presented in Table 7.2-2. The main control rd status indication panels are designed to operate in the transient environmental conditions d in Table 7.2-2 for a minimum of two hours after initiation of a protective action resulting a design basis event.
he event of a loss of ventilation to the facility control room, the environment within the facility trol room is calculated to remain below 120ºF after two hours. This result is based on the wing assumptions:
- Initial facility control room temperature: 75ºF
- Outdoor air temperature: 102.6ºF

maintenance workstation provides diagnostic information received from the ESFAS and PS on system status to be used as a test interface.
ited function local displays, including radiation monitoring information, are also provided in irradiation facility (IF) and radioisotope production facility (RPF) at select locations.
4.2 Controls nual controls are provided on both of the operator workstations, via input to the PICS, and on main control board.
nual controls for the safety-related protective functions are located at each status indication el. Nonsafety manual push buttons that provide a diverse actuation to the automatically erated safety actuations are located directly below the static display screens for the pective status indication panel that the manual push button is associated. Where the figuration of the actuation components does not allow for regular control of the PICS during mal operation, or in the event that an automated actuation has occurred, a safety-related ble nonsafety switch is located next to the manual push buttons to provide the operator the ity to control actuation components or to reset the safety-related control systems using the S following the actuation of a protective function. The enable nonsafety switch is a e-position return-to-center switch with states for Enable, Disable and the return-to-center rating as-is state.

nsmission of information between systems is through unidirectional data transfers. Each of safety system communications to the nonsafety PICS system is through one-way data munications from the safety systems to the nonsafety system. There are no unidirectional munications that allow the nonsafety system to communicate back to the safety systems venting the ability to propagate a failure from the nonsafety control system displays to the ty control systems. The PICS communication to the FDCS is through a one-way data diode h that no communication from outside of the PICS (other than the inputs from the safety-ted control systems) can have an impact on the operation of the PICS. Communications of indication and diagnostic information of the TRPS and ESFAS to the maintenance kstation are through a unidirectional point-to-point communication bus so that the ntenance workstation does not have an effect on the TRPS or ESFAS.

5 EFFLUENT MONITORING 5.1 System Description uent monitoring for the facility is provided by the SRMS. The SRMS is composed of two nitoring units: the main facility stack release monitor (SRM), and the carbon delay bed effluent nitor (CDBEM).
SRM is used to demonstrate that gaseous effluents from the SHINE facility are within ulatory limits and does not have an accident mitigation or personnel protection function. The M performs its function by drawing a representative air sample from the stack and providing a ans to measure the air sample for noble gases (continuous measurement) and capturing iculates, iodine, and tritium for collective measurement.
CDBEM monitors for noble gases at the exhaust of the process vessel vent system (PVVS) bon delay beds to provide information about the health of the PVVS carbon delay beds and to vide the ability to monitor the safety-related exhaust point effluent release pathway when it is se. The CDBEM is used on an as needed basis to demonstrate that gaseous effluents from SHINE facility are within regulatory limits (e.g., during a loss of off-site power when the mal heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and the PVVS are not rating) and does not have an accident mitigation or personnel protection function. Two iculate and iodine filters (redundant configuration) are provided for in-line capturing and ective measurement when the safety-related exhaust point is in use.
locations of the SRM and CDBEM within the facility ventilation systems are shown in ure 7.7-1.
5.2 Design Criteria SHINE design criteria are described in Section 3.1. The SHINE design criteria applicable to SRMS are provided in Table 3.1-2.
NE Medical Technologies 7.7-8 Rev. 0
SRMS functions to continuously monitor noble gases that are present in facility effluent ams and to allow for the collection and analysis of particulate, iodine, and tritium.
MS units are designed to operate in the normal environmental conditions presented in le 7.2-3 and the radioisotope production facility (RPF) general area radiological environment sented in Table 7.2-1.
5.4 Design Attributes following standard is applied to the design of the facility effluent monitors:
- ANSI N13.1-1999, Sampling and Monitoring Release of Airborne Radioactive Substances from the Stacks and Ducts of Nuclear Facilities (ANSI, 1999) 5.5 Operation and Performance SRMS units are designed to operate under normal facility conditions and to detect radiation may be indicative of anticipated transients or design basis accidents.
SRM is used to monitor the main facility stack, which is the normal release path for gaseous ents from the PVVS and RCA ventilation systems. A shrouded probe is used in the SRM to draw air from the main facility stack flow stream. The probe is designed for high efficiency action of aerosols from ventilation stacks, meeting requirements for ANSI N13.1-1999 (ANSI, 9). The SRM includes a mass flow controller to regulate sample flow rate in the isokinetic on relative to stack flow. A vacuum pump is used to draw sampled air through particulate and ne filter cartridges, which are removed and analyzed periodically. The sampled air is then wn into a sample chamber, which houses a beta detector used to measure the noble gas onuclides. The ratemeter for the beta radiation monitor indicates and displays the radiation l inside the sampler from the sampled air. From the sampler, the air is drawn through the flow troller assembly, pump, and exhausted into the return line. Downstream of the particulate and ne filter a connection for the tritium detection system is provided. The tritium monitor has its pump and flow control. The tritium detector is a passive sampler collecting system (i.e.,
ble system) to continuously collect and concentrate elemental tritium and tritiated water in ll vials. The contents of the vials are assayed using a scintillation counter at regular intervals.
CDBEM monitors noble gases at the exhaust of the PVVS carbon delay beds using a pling system. Redundant particulate and iodine filters are installed in-line with the effluent am, upstream of the safety-related exhaust point, which operates at a much lower flow rate proximately 16 standard cubic feet per minute) than the main facility stack. The safety-related aust point is only used while nitrogen purge is in operation. The PVVS system does not eive gases from process locations expected to contain tritium; therefore, the CDBEM does not ude a tritium monitor. See Section 9b.6 for additional discussion on the PVVS and nitrogen ge operations.
SRM noble gas radiation monitor has a range of 1.0E-06 Ci/cc to 1.0E-01 Ci/cc, with a imum sensitivity of 3.1E-07 Ci/cc (xenon-133 equivalent). The SRM tritium monitor has a imum sensitivity of 1.0E-10 Ci/cc.

NE Medical Technologies 7.7-18 Rev. 0 1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION neutron flux detection system (NFDS) performs the task of monitoring and indicating the tron flux to determine the multiplication factor and power level during filling of the target tion vessel (TSV) and irradiating the target solution. The signal from the detectors is smitted to the pre-amplifiers where the signal is amplified and filtering for noise reduction is ormed. The output of the pre-amplifier is transmitted to cabinets in the facility control room R) where the signal processing units are located. The signal processing units perform asurement of the neutron flux signal from the pre-amplifier, signal processing, trip ermination, indication and interfacing with other systems. The NFDS interfaces with the TSV ctivity protection system (TRPS) for safety-related interfaces and monitoring and indication, interfaces with the process integrated control system (PICS) for nonsafety-related functions.
NFDS monitors variables important to the safety functions of the irradiation process during h operating mode of the irradiation unit (IU) to provide input to the TRPS to perform its safety tions.
NFDS provides continuous indication of the neutron flux during operation, from filling ugh maximum power during irradiation. To cover the entire range of neutron flux levels, there three different ranges provided from the NFDS: source range, wide range, and power range.
rce range covers the low levels expected while the TSV is being filled while power range ers the higher flux levels anticipated while the neutron driver is on and irradiating. To cover gap between the source and power ranges, the wide range monitors the flux levels between source and power range with a minimum two decade overlap with the high end of the source ge and the low end of the power range. In addition to providing flux levels, both the source ge and wide range provide rate of change.
NFDS is a three-division system with three detectors positioned around the subcritical embly support structure (SASS) at 120-degree intervals to the TSV. Each division of the DS consists of a watertight detector located in the light water pool, a pre-amplifier mounted in radioisotope production facility (RPF), and a signal processing unit inside the FCR. The three ertight detectors located in a light water pool are supported using brackets attached to the er shell of the SASS. These brackets serve to locate the flux detectors in a fixed location tive to the TSV, ensuring flux profiles are measured consistently such that the sensitivity in source range reliably indicates the neutron flux levels through the entire range of the filling target solution.

DS Criterion 29 - The quality of the components and modules in the NFDS shall be mensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed.
3 DESIGN BASIS NFDS monitors neutron flux levels inside the target solution vessel and provides signals to TRPS that predetermined limits have been reached or exceeded as well as continuous cation of flux level to assist in the TRPS initiating its safety functions.
3.1 Monitored Variables NFDS measures the flux over three separate ranges, source range, wide range, and power ge. The source range measures low flux levels common to what would be expected during filling cycle prior to irradiation of the target solution. The power range measures high flux ls in the ranges that are expected when the neutron driver is operating and irradiating the et solution. The wide range connects the gap between the source range and the power range overlap and is usable during both source and power range levels.
he source range, individual pulses are created as a result of neutron interaction with the ector and are recorded by the NFDS. The range of the source range measurement counts es up to 1.0E+05 counts per second (cps). The inverse of the count rate can also be used to mate the critical fill level using the 1/M methodology.
he power range, the neutron flux is measured in terms of the design power levels of the TSV.
range of measurement of the power range is indicated as 0 percent to 125 percent.

terium reactions and deuterium-tritium reactions.
source range neutron flux signal has an accuracy of less than or equal to 2 percent of the full ar scale, with a response time of 30 seconds or less in the range of 1 to 100 cps, and a ponse time of less than or equal to 200 milliseconds in the range of 100 to 1.0E+05 cps.
power range neutron flux signal has an accuracy of less than or equal to 1 percent of the full ar scale with a response time of less than or equal to 50 milliseconds.
wide range neutron flux signal has an accuracy of less than or equal to 1 percent of the full rithmic scale, with a response time of 30 seconds or less in the range of 1.0E-08 percent to E-05 percent, and a response time of less than or equal to 200 milliseconds in the range of E-05 percent to 2.5E+02 percent.
3.2 Logic Processing Functions NFDS performs a trip determination for the source range to support filling of the IU cell. The determination is provided to the TRPS of the respective IU as a discrete level signal.
analytical limit for the high source range trip determination is:
- Increasing at 1.5 times the nominal flux at 95 percent volume of the critical fill height NFDS has a maximum response time of 250 milliseconds from the time an input signal eeds predetermined limits to the time that the NFDS transmits a trip determination.
NFDS provides the following analog signals to the TRPS in addition to the trip determination puts:
- NFDS source range
- NFDS source range rate
- NFDS wide range
- NFDS wide range rate
- NFDS power range NFDS also provides a source range missing and power range missing signal to the PICS use as an alarm to the operator in alerting that the NFDS is not operating properly.
3.3 Operating Conditions NFDS control and logic functions are located inside the FCR where the environment is mild not exposed to the irradiation process. The preamplifiers are located in the RPF where rating conditions are a mild operating environment. The detectors are located within the IU where they are exposed to high radiation levels (approximately 3.44E+05 rad/hour) and are lified to survive that environment.
environmental conditions present in areas where NFDS is located are provided in le 7.2-2 through Table 7.2-4. The facility heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
NE Medical Technologies 7.8-5 Rev. 0
ing normal operation, the NFDS equipment will operate in the applicable normal radiation ironments identified in Table 7.2-1 for up to 20 years, and will be replaced at a frequency icient such that the radiation qualification of the affected components is not exceeded.
4 DESIGN ATTRIBUTES 4.1 General Instrumentation and Control NFDS is a fully analog system. Communications from the NFDS to the TRPS and PICS are tinuous through isolated outputs. The output isolation devices only allow for the data to be smitted out of the system so that no failure from an interfacing system can affect the tions of the NFDS.
NFDS is supplied power from the uninterruptible power supply system (UPSS). The UPSS ery backup supplies power to the NFDS for a minimum of 10 minutes following a loss of off-power.
4.2 Single Failure NFDS is comprised of three redundant divisions of detectors, preamplifiers, and processing uits. A single failure of any one of the divisions will not affect the functionality of the other two undant divisions. Interfacing systems with the NFDS are downstream of the NFDS such that a re of an interfacing nonsafety system will not impact the NFDS.
4.3 Independence three divisions of the NFDS are physically and electrically independent of each other.
ectors are placed at 120-degree intervals around the SASS and are routed back to the control m where the cabinets are located through physically and electrically separated routes. Each sion of the NFDS is capable of monitoring the neutron flux levels in the detector, reading and plifying the levels in the preamplifier, and processing the measurement readings within each sion independently without aid of another NFDS division or external safety or nonsafety tem.
4.4 Fail Safe NFDS is designed so that a failure due to loss of power to the NFDS or a removal of an DS channel interacts the same with the TRPS as if there was a positive trip determination put to the TRPS. The interaction between NFDS and TRPS is shown in Figure 7.4-1 eet 3).
4.5 Setpoints points in the NFDS are based on a documented methodology that identifies each of the umptions and accounts for the uncertainties in each instrument channel. The setpoint hodology is further described in Subsection 7.2.3.
NE Medical Technologies 7.8-6 Rev. 0
DS rack mounted equipment is installed in a mild operating environment and is designed to et the environmental conditions described in Subsection 7.8.3.3. Rack mounted TRPS ipment is tested to appropriate standards to show that the effects of EMI/RFI and power ges are adequately addressed. Appropriate grounding of the NFDS is performed in ordance with Section 5.2.1 of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ndard 1050-2004, IEEE Guide for Instrumentation and Control Equipment Grounding in erating Stations (IEEE, 2004b).
4.7 Surveillance NFDS supports testing and calibration to ensure operability as required by the technical cifications. The NFDS is designed to allow operators to remove portions of the NFDS from vice when not required for operation without impacting NFDS components specific to other IU
- s. As an all analog system, the only form of fault detection normally available is the source ge missing and power range missing discrete signals provided to the PICS.
4.8 Classification and Identification h division of the NFDS is uniquely labeled and identified in accordance with SHINE tification and classification procedures.
