Standby Shutdown System 16.9.7 BASES The Standby Shutdown System (SSS) is designed to mitigate the consequences of certain postulated fire incidents, sabotage, or station blackout events by providing capability to maintain HOT STANDBY conditions and by controlling and monitoring vital systems from locations external to the main control room. The facility is credited with the ability to cope with a station black out (SBO) event of 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> duration. This capability is consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R and 10 CFR 50.63.
By design, the SSS is intended to respond to those low-probability events which render both the control room and automatic safety systems inoperable. Because of the low probability of occurrence of these events, the remedial actions rely on compensatory action, timely repair or return to operability and, if necessary, a justification for continued operation.
Because the SSS performs a redundant fire protection function, compensatory action during periods when the SSS is inoperable relies largely on assurance of the operability of fire detection and suppression systems. Table 16.9.7-1 establishes requirements for operability of fire detection and suppression systems.
Both A&D NC Cold Leg Wide Range Temperatures are required for SSS operability. This conclusion is based on NRC Correspondence during issuance of the original operating license.
The Source Range Wide Range Neutron Flux Instrumentation was installed at the SSS Control Panel as part of NRC review of this system in the early 1980s. The indication is not required for SSS operability, based on the NRCs response to Duke dated July 21, 1983.
Controls and power to the pressurizer heater banks are included for SSF events; however, they are not required for SSS operability. NRC Generic Letter 86-10 provides that conclusion.
The Testing Requirements ensure that the SSS systems and components are capable of performing their intended functions. The testing requirements were based largely on SSS Technical Specifications for the Catawba Nuclear Station, which was approved prior to the issuance of the fuel load license for Unit 1 of that plant. Also considered in the formulation of the testing requirements were existing McGuire Technical Specifications, such as those for the 1E Diesel Generators, Refueling Water Storage Tank, Fire Protection & Detection Systems, and other Tech Specs which are related to the safe operation and/or shutdown of the plant.
The required level in the SSS diesel generator fuel storage tank ensures sufficient fuel for 3 1/2 days of uninterrupted operation. Per Appendix R requirements, the unit must be in cold shutdown within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of going to the SSF. The 3 /2 day supply of fuel oil assures this capability.
Testing has demonstrated the ability of plant operations to start the SSF diesel within 10 minutes of the recognition of an SBO event, thus satisfying the intent of NUMARC 87-00 guidance. The SSF diesel generator has sufficient capacity and capability to operate equipment necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions for a 4-hour SBO event.
McGuire Units 1 and 2 16.9.7-7 Revision 117
Standby Shutdown System 16.9.7 BASES (continued)
Fuel oil for the SSS diesel generator is tested and maintained in accordance with the same Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program used for the 4kV emergency diesel generators (see Technical Specification 5.5.13, Surveillance Requirement 3.8.3.2 and associated Bases).
Although the Standby Makeup Pump is not nuclear safety-related and was not designed according to ASME code requirements, it is tested quarterly to ensure its OPERABILITY.
The Standby Makeup Pump (SMP) functions as part of the SSF to provide makeup capacity to the reactor coolant system and cooling flow to the reactor coolant pump (RCP) seals.
The RCP seal leak-off flow is temperature dependent (i.e., the higher the temperature the higher the leak-off flow). During normal operation the RCP seals are supplied from the Centrifugal Charging Pump (CCP) drawing from the Volume Control Tank (VCT). During the SSF event, the SMP draws from the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP). During the SSF event there is no SFP cooling, so water injected into the RCP seals will have a higher temperature than during normal operation. The SMP is capable of providing a makeup capacity of 26 gpm.
The revised SLC limit of 20 gpm total accumulative leakage is based on a calculation that was performed by Westinghouse, indicating increased RCP seal leak-off at higher seal water temperatures, to relate the SSF event leakage of 26 gpm at elevated RCP seal temperatures. This more conservative limit will ensure that the SMP will be capable of providing makeup and seal cooling flow equal to or greater than total leakage during the SSF event, increased RCP seal leak-off flow due to heat-up of the SFP, and still provide a margin of safety. As a conservative measure, during normal power operation the total accumulative system leakage (unidentified + identified + RCP seal leak-off flows) shall be limited to 20 gpm. The Testing Requirement concerning the SMP water supply ensures that an adequate water volume is available to supply the pump continuously for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
The additional requirement that total RCP seal leak-off flow be < 16.3 gpm resulted from a historical review of NRC correspondence that specified the SMP also provide for reactor coolant system makeup and boration in addition to RCP seal leakage requirements (Ref.
17). Calculations show that this upper limit for RCP seal leak-off provides sufficient margin to maintain the required unit conditions for a bounding SSS event.
Calculation MCC-1201.01-00-0053, Rev. 0, "MNS Units 1 & 2 Reactor Coolant Pump Response To Loss Of Seal Cooling," Sections 2 and 10 (Tab D, page 15) determined the elapsed time from loss of all seal cooling (loss of NV seal injection and loss of KC flow to the RCP thermal barrier heat exchanger) to when hot NC water entered the RCP No. 1 seal at varying seal leakoff rates. Chart interpolation determined that at a nominal No. 1 seal leakoff rate of 4 gpm, the seal would be at 235 0 F in 6.4 minutes from loss of all seal cooling event initiation. Therefore, for a maximum No. 1 seal leakoff of 4 gpm and if the Operators are instructed to stop all 4 RCPs at 3 minutes into the scenario, 3.4 minutes remain for the RCP motors to coast down to a stop and no seal rotation would occur above the No. 1 seal trip setpoint (2350 F) during loss of all seal cooling. The 4 gpm limit is conservative based on the guidance provided in Westinghouse WCAP-17100, Section 1.2.3.4, "Response during a Loss of All Seal Cooling," and Westinghouse Technical Bulletin TB-04-22, Revision 1, for RCP coast down times and time for hot NC system water to reach the No. 1 seal on loss of all seal cooling.
The Groundwater Drainage Sump Pump A, in the A (Unit 1) and B (Unit 2) sumps, can be controlled and powered from the SSF. These Sump Pumps remove accumulation of groundwater, Turbine driven AFW Pump drains, and other miscellaneous sources. For the McGuire Units 1 and 2 16.9.7-8 Revision 117
Standby Shutdown System 16.9.7 BASES (continued)
SSS to be OPERABLE, a minimum of one of these pumps must be OPERABLE. Credit is taken for the groundwater underdrain system to transport water from one sump to the other.
The turbine driven AFW pump can be controlled from the SSF and is utilized during an SSS event to maintain adequate secondary side heat removal. For the SSS to be OPERABLE, the turbine driven AFW pump must be OPERABLE. The turbine driven AFW pump water supply for the 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> SBO event is provided by the CA Storage Tank (CAST). The water supply for the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> fire event is initially provided by the CAST then later by manual alignment to the RC system via valves CA-161C and CA-162C. These valves are maintained closed and de-energized to prevent spurious actuation and air entrainment (Ref.
22). Adequate CAST inventory of 200;000 gallons (20 feet of level) is ensured by TR 16.9.7.19. For a fire event, an initial CAST inventory is needed to allow time to perform the manual alignment from the CAST to the RC system. For Unit 1 only, in the remote chance that the level of Lake Norman drops below 746 feet, air entrainment from the RC system cannot be prevented. In this case, adequate water supplies for a fire event are ensured by making up to the Unit 1 CAST from the Fire Suppression system using the "C" Fire Suppression pump.
The SSF is provided with its own 250/125 VDC power system which is independent from the normal 125 VDC and 120 VAC vital I&C power systems. The SSF batteries are charged by the SSF diesel generator and are available to power the SSF instruments and controls necessary to achieve and maintain hot standby conditions from the SSF control room following a station black out (SBO) event.
While the SSS 24 VDC battery charger is isolated for battery surveillance testing, the SSS Diesel Generator remains operable as long as the battery voltage is > 24 volts.
The SSS 125V batteries and battery chargers consist of three pairs SDSP1, SDSP2 and SDSS. Each pair consists of a battery and associated battery charger. Pair SDSS can be used to substitute for either pair SDSP1 or SDSP2. Only two of these pairs are required operable since pair,SDSS is spare.
This selected licensee commitment is part of the McGuire Fire Protection Program and therefore subject to the provisions of McGuire Facility Operating License Conditions C.4 (Unit 1) and C.7 (Unit 2).
