ssurance that a mass a'ddit m.; y.e~TrEstent can be relieved by the opera HR suction relief valve. INSERT A , The Surveillance Requirements provided to ensure OPERABILITY of each component ensures that at a minimum, the assumptions used in the safety analyses are met and that subsystem OPERABILITf is maintained. Surveillance Requirements for throttle valve position stops and flow balance testing provide assurance that proper ECCS flows will be maintained in the event of a LOCA. Maintenance of proper flow resistance and pressure drop in the piping system to each injection point is necessary to: (1) prevent total pump flow from exceeding runout conditions when the system is in its minimum resistance configuration, , (2) rirovide the proper flow split between injection points in accordance with l the assumptions used in the ECCS-LOCA analyses, and (3) provide an acceptable I level of total ECCS flow to all injection points equal to or above that assumed in the ECCS-LOCA analyses. The Surveillance Requirements for leakage testing of ECCS check valves ensures that a failure of one valve will not cause an intersystem LOCA. The Surveillance Requiren.ents to vent the ECCS pump casings ,
,a and , accessible, i.e.i can be reached without personnel hazard or high radiation f dose, discharge piping ensures against inoperable pumps caused by gas binding (
e or water hammer in ECCS piping. 1 . 3/4.5.S REFUELING WATER STORAGE TANK The OP$RABILITY of the refueling water storage tank (RWST) as part of the ECCS ensures that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA. The limits. on RWST minimum volume and boron concentration ensure that: (1) sufficient water is available within containment to permit recirculation cooling flow to the core, and (2) the reactor will remain subcritical in the cold condition following mixing of the RWST and the RCS water volumes assuming all the control rods are out of the core. These assumptions l are consistent with the LOCA analyses. The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 8.5 and 11.0 for the solution recirculated within containment af ter a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the ef fect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanica l systems and components. W>ll CRf:K UN!! l B 1/4 5 ? , w.t E

l J 1 INSERT A l-l The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pump to be OPERABLE and the Surveillance Requirements to verify all charging pumps except the ! ! required OPERABLE charging pump to be inoperable in MODES 4 and 5 and in i MODE 6 with the reactor vessel head on, provides assurance that a mess addition pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a single PORV or,RHR suction relief valve. In addition, the requirement to verify all Safety Injection pumps to be inoperable in MODE 4 in MODE 5 with the water level above the top of the reactor vessel flange, and in MODE 6 with the reactor vessel head on and with water level above the top of the reactor vessel flange, provides assurance that the mass addition can be relieved by a single PORV or RHR suction relief valve. With the water level not above the top of the reactor vessel flange and with' the vessel head on, Safety Injection pumps may be available to mitigate the ' affects of a loss of decay heat removal during a reduced RCS intentory condition. 1 l l L

,- (, 3 /4. 9. 6 REFUELING MACHINE The OPERABILITY requirements for the refueling machine and auxiliary hoist ensure that: (1) manipulator cranes will be used for uovement of drive rods and fuel assemblies, (2) each crane has sufficient load capacity to lift a drive rod or fuel assembly, and (3) the core internals and reactor vessel are protected from excessive lifting force in the event they are inadvertently engaged during lifting operations. ' 3/4.9.7 CRANE TRAVEL - SPENT FUEL STORAGE FACILITY The restriction on movement of loads in excess of the nominal weight of a fuel and control rod assembly and associated handling tool over other fuel assemblies in the storage pool areas ensures that in the event this load is dropped: (1) the activity release will be limited to that contained in a r, ingle fuel assembly, and (2) any possible distortion of fuel in the storage racks will.not result in a critical array. This assumption is consistent with the activity release assumed in the safety analyses. 3/4.9.8 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL AND COOLANT CIRCULATION The requirement that at least one residual heat removal (RHR) loop be in operation ensures that: (1) sufficient cooling capacity is available to remove I decay heat and maintain the water in the reactor vessel below 140'F as required during the FJ. FUELING MODE, and (2) sufficient coolant circulation is maintained through the core,ta minimize the.cL( of a boron dilution incident and prevent boron stratification.- INSERT B The requirement to have two RHR loops OPERABLE when there is less than 23 feet of water above the reactor vessel flange ensures that a single failure of the operating RHR loop will not result in a complete loss of RHR capability. With the reactor vessel head removed and at least 23 feet of water above the J reactor vessel flange, a large heat sink is available for core cooling. Thus, L in the event of a f ailure of the operating RHR loop, adequate time is provided to initiate emergency procedures to cool the core.

3/4. 9. 9 CONTAINMENT VENTILAT10N' SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of this system ensures that the containment Durge penetrations will be automatically isolated upon detection of high radiation levels within the containment. The OPERABilllY of this system is required to restrict the release of radioactive material from the containment atmosphere to the environment.
