to determine if the leak isi isolable. Prepare to begin a shutdown to Mode 3.
D. RCS leakage is from the charging line upstream of the regenerative heat
exchanger. Leakage is greater than technical specification limits. Trip the reactor
and enter E-O, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection .
A. Incorrect. Leakage is not within TS limits
B. Correct .If RHX Oulet temperature is lowering, then more charging flow is going
through the RHX. This means the leak is downstream of the RHX in containment.
Since Charging flow increased from a normal value of 87 GPM to 101 GPM with no
other changes, leakage is greater thn TS limits.
C. Incorrect. Wrong location of leak, wrong action

B. INCREASES REMAINS CONSTANT
C~ DECREASES INCREASES
D. DECREASES REMAINS CONSTANT
( A. Incorrect. Cooldown rate will be lower for this failure
B. Incorrect. Cooldown is lower, and flow changes. Raising demand on the bypass will
cause more flow aroung the HX. Flow is sensed downstream of where the bypass and
HX outlet come together
C. Correct. RHR outlet flow control valves are operated manually. Therefore more flow
bypasses the RHR HX. Since total flow is measured downstream of where the HX
Bypass connects to the HX discharge line, the indication will rise.

below the speci fied pressure of the accumulators. For the co ld leg injection accumulators, this condil ion
occurs in the event of a large or small rupture.
The limits on accumulator volume, boron concentration and pressure ensure that the assumptions
used lor accumulator injection in the safety analysis are met. The limits in the specification for
accumu lator nitrogen cover pressure and volume are ope rating limits and include instrument uncertainty.
The analysis limits bound the operational limits with instrument uncertainty applied. The minimum boron
concentration ensures that the reactor core will remain subcritical during the post*LOCA (loss of coolant
accide nt) recirculation phase based upon the cold leg accumulators' contribution to the post*LOCA sump
mixture concentration.
The accumulator power operated isolation valves are considered to be "operating bypasses" in
the context of IEEE Std. 279-1971, which requires that byp asses of a protective function be removed
automatically whenever permissive conditions are not met. In addition, as these accumulator isolation
valves fail to meet si!:lgle failure criteria, removal of power to the valves is required.
The limits for ope ration with an accumulator inoperable for any reason except boron concentration
not within limits minimizes the time exposure of the plant to a LOCA event occurring concur rent with
failure of an additional accumulator which may result in unacceptable peak cladding temperatures. Under
these conditions, the full capability of one accumulator is not available and prompt action is required to
place the reactor in a mode where this capability is not required. The 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowed to restore an
inoperab le accumula tor to OP ERABLE status is justified in Westinghou se Commercial Atomic Power
(WCAP)* 15049*A, Revision 1, dated April 1999. For an acc umulator inoperable due to boron
conce ntration not wilh in limits, the limits for ope ration allow 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> to return boron conc entration to
within limits. This is based on the availability of ECCS wate r not being affected and an insi gnificant elfect
on core subcriticality during rellood because boiling of ECGS water in the core concentrates boron in the
saturated liquid.
3/4 .5.2 and :1/4 5:l ECCS SUBSYSTEMS
The OP ERABILITY of two independent ECGS subsystems ensures that sufficie nt emergency core
cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOGA assuming the loss 01one subsystem through
any single lailure consid eration . Eilher subsystem operating in conjuncfion with the accumulators is
capa ble of supplying sulficie nt core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits
lor all postulated break sizes ranging from the double ended break 01the largest RGS cold leg pipe
downward. In addition, each ECCS subsystem provides long term core cooling capability in the
recirculation mode during the accident recovery period.
. As indicated in the footnote for 3/4.5.2, operation in MODE 3 with EGGS trains made incapable of
injecting in order to facilitate entry into or exit from the Applicability of LCO 3.4.12, "Low Temperature
Overpressure Protection (LTO P) System," is necessary for plants with an LTOP arming temperature at or
near the MODE 3 boundary temperature of 350 o F. LGO 3.4.12 requires that certain pumps be rendered
incapabie of injecting at and below the LTOP arming temperature. When this temperature is at or near the
MODE 3 boundary temperature, lime is needed to make pumps incapable of injecting prior to entering the
LTOP Applicability, and provide time to restore the inope rable pumps to O PERABLE stat us on exiting the
LTOP Applicability.

(" Given the following plant conditions:
Unit is at 100% rated thermal power
Feedwater Master Controller and Feedwater Pump Speed Controllers are in
AUTOMATIC.
Main Feedwater Regula ting Valves are in AUTOMATIC.
All four main feedwater flows start increasing with level in all four steam
generators trending upwards .
For information:
PT-1-33 is a Main steam header pressure transmitter
PT-3-1 is a Main feedwater header pressure transmitter
Which ONE (1) of the following describes the two instrument failures that could have
caused this transient?
A . PT-1-33 has failed LOW or PT-3-1 has failed LOW.
B~ PT-1-33 has failed HIGH or PT-3-1 has failed LOW .
C. PT-1-33 has failed LOW or PT-3-1 has failed HIGH .
( D. PT-1-33 has failed HIGH or PT-3-1 has failed HIGH.
A. PT-1-33 failing low would cause a high delta-P and the MFPT control
system would reduce MFPT speed causing low feed flow and
decreasing SG levels . The results of PT-3-1 failing low are described
in "a" below.
a. Correct. Feedwater header pressure is normally higher than steam
header pressure by a programmed value of 80 psid at 0% totalized
steam flow and 195 psid at 100% totalized steam flow. PT-1-33 failing
high OR PT-3-1 failing low would indicate a lower than normal delta-P
between steam header pressure and FW header pressure . This
would cause the MFPT control system to increase speed in an attempt
to restore programmed delta-P. This increased delta-P would
increase FW flow and cause SG level to trend upward. The FW
regulating valves would be closing in an attemp t to reduce SG level
back to programmed value.
C. The results of PT-1 -33 failing high are described in "a" above. PT-3-1
failing high would cause a high delta-P and the MFPT control system
would reduce MFPT speed causing low feed flow and decreasing SG
levels.
D. PT-1-33 failing low would cause a high delta-P and the MFPT control system
would reduce MFPT speed causing low feed flow and decreasing SG levels.
PT-3-1 failing high would cause a high delta-P and the MFPT control system
would reduce MFPT speed causing low feed flow and decreasing SG levels.

Communications
b. Use equipment noun names and/or identification (10) numbers to describe a
componen t.
c. The use of sign language is undesired but maybe used when verbal
communications is not practical.
d. Take time when reporting abnormal conditions. Speak deliberately, distinctly
and calmly. Identify yourself and watch station or your location. Describe the
nature and severity of the problem. State the location of the problem if
appropriate. Keep the communication line open if possible or until directed
otherwise.

communication to do so in accordance with this procedure.
( g. If there is any doubt concerning any portion of the communication or task
assigned , resolve it before taking any action.
h. When making announcements for drills or exercises begin and end the
announ cement with "This is a Drill."
4. Emergency Communications Systems
When personnel are working in areas where the public address (PA) system or emergency
signals cannot be heard, alternate methods for alerting these persons should be devised .
Flashing lights, personal pagers that vibrate and can be felt, and persons dedicated to
notifications are examples of alternate methods.
5. PA System
a. Use of the plant PA system shall be limited to ensure it retains its effectiveness
in contacting plant personne l. Excessive use of the PA system should be
avoided . Plant telephones and other point-to-point communications channels
should be used in lieu of the PA system whenever practical.
b. The announcement of planned starting or stopping large equipment should be
made to alert personnel working in that area.
c. The plant PA system may be used in abnormal or emergency conditions . to
announce change of plant status , or give notification of major plant events either
( in progress or anticipated.

(' IX. INTRODUCTION:
This lesson is a review of Function Restoration Guideline FR-C.1, "Inadeq uate Core
Coolin g". Control room operators are required to have a thorough knowledge of this
procedu re, includ ing when and how to use it.
Overview
This guideline attempts to restore core cooling following events or malfunctions that
cause inade quate core cooling as defined in FR-O, Status Trees. T his response is
independent of the cause of the loss of core cooling.
This guideline attempts several different methods of establishing adequate core cooling.
After each attempt, RCS parameters are checked to determine the effectiveness of the
attem pt. If the attempt is unsuccessful, the next method is tried.
T he following sum marizes the different methods of establishing adequate core cooling:
a. Ensure a cool water supply to RHR pumps suction from RWS T or
Containment Sump.
b. Establish and maximize ECCS flow including opening the CLA isolation valve
if clos ed.
c. Depressurize the S /Gs to reduce RCS pressure to <100 psig and allow
increased ECCS flow .
( d. Start one RCP at a time to ge t CET <1200°F. This will force RCS 2 phase
mixture through the S /G and into the core. S /G water level must be
established for this method to be effective.
e. Open RCS inventory loss paths to lower RGS pressure to establish feed and
bleed of RCS. This reduces RGS pressure to reduce RCS pressure and allow
increas ed ECGS flow.
f. Depressurize S /G to atmospheric pressure and allow increa sed ECGS fiow.
g. If core cooling can be established then, verify core cooling and transition to
E-1 for restoring the unit to post accident conditions.
h. The above actions represent all the available means of re-establishing
adequate core cooling flow. If they are ineffective then conta inment of the
dama ged core and the release of fission products becomes the highest
priority action. Severe Accident Control Room Guideline, SAGRG-1 will
provide guidelines for response to the damaged core.
Fundamental Concepts
During review of this procedure , the instructor should emphasize the following
fundamental concepts as applicable steps are discussed.
- Monitoring plant cond itions and indications closely
- Controlling plant evolutions precisely
- Establishing a bias for conse rvative approach to plant operations
- Working effective ly as a team
- Having a solid understanding of plant design and system interrelatio nships.

3.0 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS (Continued)
K. In modes 1-4, only one set of purge supply and exhaust lines shall be used.
Each procedure for the area being purged (upper , lower, or incore) must be
followed . Vacuum in the annulus must be normal and steady (- 6" H20 ) and
containmenUannulus .ll.P less than or equal to 0.25 psid. 0-SO-30-8 provides
the steps to vent containment if containmenUannulus .ll.P greater than .25 psid.
L. Simultaneous purging of lower and upper containment using two-train operation
is only allowed in Mode 5, 6, or defueled without fuel handling in containment.
M. During fuel handling activities inside containment, purge flow shall not exceed
16,000 cfm. Containment purge flow may be monitored using FI-90-400 IM-9]
or using computer point Y2210A . (Reference: FSAR 15.5.6)
N. [UNIT 1 ONLY] Train A purge discharge damper 1-VLV-30-551 weights have
been adjusted to allow the damper to go full open when the 1A Containment
Purge Exhaust fan is started. This adjustment will allow more flow through the
( system and should stop the pressure surge , allowing the Containment Purge
ductwork to stabilize. When the 1A Containment Purge is in service extra
monitoring for flow swings, banging noises in the 690 Penetration Room, and
ductwork expansion and contraction is recommended.
O. When Incore Instrument Room Purge exhaust fan is placed in service for Unit 1
the discharge damper (1-VLV-30-551) for Containment Purge exhaust fan 1A
must be closed . This damper is located inside the purge housing in the 690
penetration room and can be viewed from the inspection ports. Radcon support
will be required if damper requires closing by hand.
P. Containment purge coils should not be used for cooling . Placing chilled water
on purge coils will result in moisture build-up, as there are no drains for
condensation.

c Which ONE (1) of the following describes the basis for programm ed SG level
setpoints?
A. 33% level at low power is low enough to prevent flooding of the moisture separators
from a 10% step load increase.
B. 44% above 20% power is low enough to minimize water carryover from a
postulated steam line break.
C\" 44% above 20% power is high enough to minimize the probability of a reactor trip
caused by shrink due to a load rejection at high power.
D. 33% at low power is high enough to keep the SG feed ring covered in the event of
an inadvertent MSIV closu re.
C is correct.
A is incorrect because it is part the basis for 44% at higher power
B is incorrect because it is part of the basis for 33%

X. LESSON BODY:
(
The S /G has more fluid mass at a level of 33 percent at no load than there is at a level of 44
percent with 20 percent or more load on the turbine. A diagram displaying this relationship is
shown
Stage Description
1 As power is raised, more and more of the S/G volume becomes steam
voids . Mass decreases for a given NR level.
2 As power is lowered , steam voids are reduced , and a pound mass of
steam occupies less volume than it does at high turbine loads . Mass
increases for a given NR level.
3 If liqUid level is not programmed to be reduced below 20 % load, the S /G
will contain too much mass for primary cooldown and containment
pressurization design concerns.

MDAFW Pump runout protcction is provided by a cavitating venturi, which aids in runout prevention by establishing
backprcssure on the pump. As fluid velocity increases, the pressure drops. The fluid will approac h saturated
co nditions with high enough flow to choke off or slow down pump discharge due to decreased density and increased
( .olume. T his protects the pump from runout. MDAFWP runout is limited to 650 gpm by this design.

MDA FWP Recirculation Valves (FCY-3-400 & FCY-3-401)
!vIDAFW P Recirculation valves return to CSTs providing a flow path for testing and pump protection when running at
shutoff head conditions. The recirculation flow rate for each MDAFWP totals 165 gpm. This includes the original
recirc orifices, 30 gpm, and the 2 inch, 135 gpm recirc line paralle l to the existing recirc line on each pump. Non-
sa fety related control air system is utilized to provide air to open the recirc valves FCY-3-400, and FCY-3-401. Non-
safety air is accept able because these valves fail closed, and the solenoids and electrical control circuits are Class I E.
Therefore the air will bleed off resulting in recirc valve clo sure.
The air ope rated recirc valves may remain open during normal startup and shutdown sequencing . During an accident
-equiring full AFW flow to the steam generators, these valves were designed to close automatically. Procedural
directions require the valves to be placed in the P-T-L position when AFW is placed in the MOD E I Standby
Readiness condition. This will be discussed later.

IV. LENGTH OF LESSO N/COURSE: 2.0 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br />(s)
V. TRAINING OBJECTIVES:
A. Terminal Objective:
Upon completion of this lesson. the trainee shall explain how various loss of coolant
accidents can affect core cooling mechanisms and reduce the margin to thermal
limits, and, in extreme cases, can result in the release of radioactivity to the
environment. The trainee shall be required to successfully (:0:: 80 percent grade)
pass a written examination on this objective.
B. Enabling Objectives:
1. State the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) acceptance criteria.
( 2. Describe the core cooling mechanisms associated with a LOCA in general
terms .
3. Describe the effect of noncondensable gases on large-break and small-break
LOCAs, including their sources.
4. Describe the dynamic behavior of the reactor, from a thermodynamic and
hydraulic point of view, following a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) for the
following categories:
a. Break diameters less than or equal to 3/8 inch.
b. Break diameters between 3/8 and 1 inch, minimum safety injection.
c. Break diameters between 1 and 2 inches.
d. Break diameters between 2 and 13-1/2 inches (1 square foot).
e. Vapor space break.
f. Large-break LOCA areas, between 1 square foot and double ended.
5. State the design basis accident (DBA).
6. Describe the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) analysis of the DBA LOCA
with respect to core cooling, blowdown, reflood, and core damage .
( MODE 4 -- Decay Heat Removal by Core Boiling (Figures 9, 10, and 11)
1. The reactor vessel level continues to decrease due to fluid loss through the break.
2. Boiling takes place in the core. The boiling removes energ y from the core and
transports it to the steam bubble above the core.
3. Any liquid that is produced from condensation inside the S/G tubes returns to the
core via gravity counterflow along the bottom of each partially filled hot leg pipe.
This phenomenon is called reflux flow . The cold leg side of the U-tubes is draining
to the loop seal.
4. Eventually, the decay heat level drops to the point where the S /G safety valves are
no longer needed as a heat sink. The exact point in time at which this occurs is
depen dent upon the decay heat level and the break size. The larger the break, the
sooner this event will happen. As soon as the S /G saturation pressure drops below
the safety valve setpoint, the safet y valves shut. Decay heat is then removed only
by heat loss through the break and by heat loss to the environment.
5. Plant pressure is now controlled solely by the steam bubble above the core. As the
decay heat level drops without a corresponding drop in heat removal, the system
tempera ture decreases.
-
6. As system pressure drops , the driving force for flow out of the break decreases. At
the same time , the lower system pressure allows injection flow to increase. This
( occurs when decay heat level falls to within the capabilities of the ECCS.
By the end of MODE 4, decay heat is being removed by the break. The S /Gs have become a
heat source rather than a heat sink.
It should also be noted that the operator can cause system pressure to drop below S/G
safety valve lift pressure earlier in the transient by using the steam dump . This action is not
necessary to protect the core .
MODE 5 -- Deca y Heat Remo val During Tran sition from Core Boiling to Natural Circulation
Mode (Figures 12 and 13)
1. With injection flow exceeding break flow, reactor vessel level continues to increase
to the top of the hot leg nozzles .
2. Prior to this point, a steam vent path existed from the top of the reactor vessel to
the break, through the "loop seal." The venting provided efficient heat remo val and
at the same time prevented pressure build-up in the reactor vessel outlet plenum .
15
3730s:4
SQN-TAA-13 6/90
1990Westinghou se Electric Corp.
( 3. As vessel level increases toward the top of the hot leg nozzles, slugs of water begin
'. to flow down the hot legs to the S/Gs.
4. The S/G inlets become flooded by the slug flow, disrupting the flow of steam
through the S/G tubes to the break .
5. The disruption of steam flow to the break reduces heat removal capability. The
reactor core exit temperature and the corresponding reactor vessel steam bubble
pressure starts to increase in response to the disruption.
6. As steam pressure increases, the two-phase fluid in the core compresses, and the
reactor vessel mixture level drops .
7. When level drops to the tops of the hot leg nozzles, slug flow through the hot legs
stops.
8. The compression effect on the core level is transmitted to the down comer, back
through the cold leg, and up into the cold leg side of the U-tubes.
9. If sufficient water had been initially present in the vessel outlet and if the rate of
vapor condensation in the hot leg side of the U-tubes can keep up with the rate of
vapor introduction, the effect of no. 8 can lead to a refilling of the tubes. If this
occurs, th~ density gradients required for natural circulation will be established. If
large quantities of noncondensable gases, particularly dissolved hydrogen and
oxygen released during the depressurization, have accumulated in the S/G tubes,
( the re-establishment of natural circulation may be prevented.
10. If natural circulation is not reestablished (as a result of noncondensable gases),
coolant system pressure continues to increase. Eventually, the setpoints of the
reactor coolant PORVs are reached.
11. As water is expelled from the ReS by the PORVs (remember that at this high
system pressure, total break flow may be above the total discharge capacity of the
SI pumps), core level may drop to the point where the level is below the top of the
hot leg nozzles.
12. Once this happens, steam can flow from the vessel outlet plenum to the S/Gs where
it can be condensed. This reflux cooling adequately cools the core and once again
lowers core temperature and pressure.

6. Describe the general RCS pressure trend during a 2-inch diameter cold leg LOCA.
(T-13,1)
ANSWER: RCS pressure decreases rapidly until saturation; then more slowly until it
hangs at the setpoint pressure of the first SIG safety valve. Pressure
decreases below the pressure when more energy is removed by the break
than is being added to the RCS.
7. Describe the process by which natural circulation terminates in the 2-inch diameter
cold leg LOCA. (T-13.1)
ANSWER: Natural circuiation terminates at the point where the RCS and the SIGs are at
essentially the same temperature with significant voids existing in the SIG U-
tubes . At this point, reflux cooling predominates.
8. Describe reflux flow. (T-13.2)
ANSWER: _ Reflux flow is the mechanism of core cooling by which bidirectional fiow
occurs in each RCS hot leg. Steam exits the core, is condensed in the SIGs,
and is returned to the core via the hot legs.
(
9. What condition is necessary for steam to be vented out of a cold leg break? What
does this indicate about the water level in the core? (T-1 3.1)
ANSWER: The loop seal must be cleared. This indicates that the core has uncovered .
10. List five conservative assumptions used in accident analysis for the LOCA.
(T-13.4)
ANSWER: (Any five of the following)
1. All SI flow to broken loop is lost.
2. Minimum 51 (one train).
3. Protection signals include maximum tolerances.
4. SI and AFW flow delayed for 47 seconds.
5. Conservatively high decay beat.
6. Reactor power at 102 percent of RTP power.
7. No control systems function .
8. Offsite power lost at time of trip,

leakage exceeding limits.
D. Isolate Charging unti l the leakage source can be identifi ed.
A. Incorrect . The initial conditions do not require an immediate reactor trip.
B. Correct. The RCS leak was determined to be on normal letdown based on
containment pressure decreasing and radiation monitor output has stabilized.
Therefore to maintain pressurizer level and RCS chemistry (chemical feed and
boration), excess letdown is required.
C. Incorrect. A OP-C. 03 Emergency Shutdown is entered for conditions that require a
rapid shutdown without a reactor trip. Since pressurizer level is stabilized and the
other initial conditions indicated the RCS leak has been isolated a rapid shutdown is
not required per AOP-R.05.
D. Incorrect. The leak has been isolated to the normal letdown line. Therefore, a leak
search team is unnecessary.
( The student must understand from the initial conditions the RCS leak was on the
letdown line and has been isolated. In order to maintain pressurizer level and
chemistry excess letdown is required.

3.11.7 Use of AOPs Within the EO? Network
A. EOPs have priority over AOPs at all times , except when a reactor trip or
safety injection has occurred in conjunction with an App endix R fire (AOP-
N.08), Control Room abandonment (AOP-C .04), or Loss of all ERCW
capabil ity (AOP-M.01) .
B. AOP performance while in the EOP network is allowa ble under the following
two circumstances: [C .1]
1. AOP performance is directed by EOPs in effect.
2. AOP performance is deemed necessary by the SM or US to address
abnormal plant conditions NOT directly addressed by the EOPs but
which have a significant im pact on the ability of the EOPs to perform their
function (e.g., loss of ERCW, CCS, off-site power, vital instrument power
board, etc.) In this case, the following guidelines should be followed:
a. Concurrent performance of the EOPs and the AOP shouId enhance,
NOT degrad e, the performance of EOPs in progress.
b. Manpower resources are adequate to allow performing the EOPs
( and the AOP concurrently.
c. The AOP should be performed using the "reader-doer" method so
the procedure reader remains dedicated to the EOPs in progress,
which are mitigative in nature. Th e SM may elect to deviate from
this requirement whe n in ES-O.1.
d. Certain AOPs may be requ ired to be performed concurrently with the
EOPs in order for the EOPs to function as intend ed; for example.
loss of CCS, loss of ERCW, loss of air or vital power to equipment
importan t to safety-- any of these could have a significant impact on
the ability of the EOPs to achieve their goals.
e. Upon transition to ES-O.1. the 8 M will design ate the mitigating crew
responsibilities as appropriate, based on the events in progress.
Normally, the procedure reader and OATC will perform ES-O.1 while
the CRO performs the AOP as a reader-doer.

REACTOR COOLANT SYS TEM
( BASES
safety valves are OPE RAB LE, an operating RHR loop, connected to the RCS, provides overpressure relief capability
and will pre vent RCS overpr essurization.
During ope ratio n, all pressurizer code safety valves mu st be OPE RABLE to prevent the RCS from being
pressurized above its safety limit of 2735 psig. The com bined relief capacity of all of these valves is greater th an the
maximum surge rate resulting fro m a com plete loss of load ass uming no reactor trip until the first Reac tor Protective
Syste m trip set point is reached (i.e ., no credit is taken for a direct reactor trip on the loss of load) and also ass uming no
operation of the powe r operated relief valves or steam dum p valves.
Demonstration of the safety valves' lift settings will occur only during shutdown and will be
performed in accordance with the provisions of ASM E OM Code.
T he power oper ated relief valves (PORVs) and steam bubble function to relieve RCS pressure during all design
trans ients up to and including the design step load decrease with steam dump . Operation of the PORVs minim izes the
undesirable open ing of the spring -loaded pressurizer code safety valves. Each PORV has a remo tely operated block
valve to provide positive shutoff capability should a relief valve become inoperable. The PORVs also func tion to remove
non-co ndensibles or steam from the pressurizer.
T he OPERABILITY of the power-operated relief valves (PORVs) and block valves is de termined on the basis of
their be ing capable of pe rforming the following functions:
a. Manual contro l of PORVs to co ntrol reacto r coolant system pressure. This is a function that is
used for a steam generator tube rupture accident.
( b. Maintaining the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. This is a function that is
related to controlling ident ified leakage and ensuring the ability to detect unidentified reactor
coolant pressure bou ndary leakage.
c. Manual control of the block valve to: (1) unblock an isolated PORV to allow it to be used for
manual control of reactor coolant syste m pressure (Item A) , and (2) isolate a PORV with
excessive seat leakage (Item B).
d. Manua l contro l of a block valve to isolate a stuck-open PORV.
Surveillance requirements (SR) provide assu rance that the PO RVs and block valves can perform
their fun ctions. The block valves are exemp t from the SR
