Bares - Unita'1, 2 and 3 All components in the Reactor Coolant System are designed to withstand the effects of cyclic loads due to system temperature and pressure changes.

These cyclic loads are introduced by normal load transients, reactor trips, startup and s.hutdown operations, and inservice leak and hydrostatic tests.

The various categories of load cycles used for design purposes are provided in table 4.8 of the FSAR.

The major components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary have been analyzed in accordance with Appendix G to 10CFR50. Results of this analysis, including the actual pressure-temperature limitations of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, are given in BAW-1421(1), BAW-1437(2) and BAW-1438(3). l The figures specified in 3.1.2.1, 3.1.2.2 and 3.1.2.3 present the pressure-temperature limit curves for normal heatup, normal cooldown and hydrostatic test, respectively. The limit curves are anplicable up to the indicated effective full power years of operation. These curves are adjusted by 25 psi and 100F for possible errors in the pressure and temperature sensing instru-ments. The pressure limit is also adjusted for the pressure differential between the point of system pressure measurement and the limiting component for all operating reactor coolant pump combinations.

The pressure-temperature limit lines shown on the figure specified in 3.1.2.1 for reactor criticality and on the figure specified in 3.1.2.3 for hydrostatic testing have been provided to assure compliance with the minimum temperature requirements of Appendix G to 10CFR50 for reactor criticality and for inser-vice hydrostatic *.esting.

The actual shift in RTypT of the beltline region material will be established periodically durir.g operation by removing the evaluating, in accordance with Appendix H to 10CFR50, reactor vessel material irradiation surveillance specimens which are installed near the inside wall of this or a similar reactor vessel in the core region.

The limitation on steam generator pressure and temperature provide protection against nonductile failure of the secondary side of the steam generator. At metal temperatures lower than the RTNDT of +600F, the protection against non-ductile failure if achieved by limiting the secondary coolant pressure to 20 percent of the preoperational system hydrostatic test pressure. The I limitations of 1100F and 237 psig are based on the highest estimated RTNDT of +400F and the preoperational system hydrostatic test pressure of 1312 psig.

The average metal temperature is assunad to be equal to or greater than the coolant temperature. The limitations include margins of 25 psi and 100F for possible instrument error.

The spray temperature difference is imposed to maintain the thermal stresses at the pressurizer spray line nozzle below the design limit.

Minimum conditiono for criticality

)

' Specification 3.1.3.1 The reactor coolant temtarature shall be above 5250F except for portions of low power physics testing when the requirements of Specification 3.1.9 shall apply.

3.1.3.2 Reactor coolant temperature shall be above the criticality limit of 3.1.2-1A (Unit 1) 3.1.2-1B (Unit 2) 3.1.2-lc (Unit 3) l 3.1.3.3 When the reactor coolant temperature is below the minimum tem-perature specified in 3.1.3.1 above, except for portions of low power physics testing when the requirements of Specification 3.1.9 shall apply, the reactor shall be suberitical by an amount equal to or greater than the calculated reactivity insertion due to depressurization.

3.1.3.4 The reactor shall be maintained suberitical by at least 1%Ak/k until a steam bubble is formed and a water level between 80 and 396 inches is established in the pressurizer.

3.1.3.5 Except for physics tests and as limited by 3.5.2.1, safety rod groups shall be fully withdrawn prior to any other reduction in shutdown margin by deboration or regulating rod withdrawal during the approach to criticality. The regulating rods shall then be positioned within their position limits defined by Specification 3.5.2.5 prior to deboration.

Bases l

At the beginning of the initial fuel cycle, the moderator temperature coeffi-cient is expected to be slightly positive at operating temperatures with the operating configuration of control rods.(1) Calculations show that above 5250F, the consequences are acceptable.

Since the moderator temperature coefficient at lower temperatures will be I

less negative or more positive than at operating temperature,(2) startup and l operation of the reactor when reactor coolant temperature is less than 5250F is prohibited except where necessary for low power physics rests.

The potential reactivity insertion due to the moderator pressure coefficient (2) that could result from depressurizing the coolant from 2100 psia to saturation pressure of 900 psia is approximately 0.lAk/k.

During physics tests, special operating precautions will be taken. In addi-tion, the strong negative Doppler coefficient (1) and the small integrated ak/k would limit the magnitude of a power excursion resulting from a reduc-tion of moderator density.

The requirement that the reactor is not to be made critical below the limits of Specification 3.1.2.1 provides increased assurance that the proper rela-l tionship between primary coolant pressure and temperature will be maintained relative to the NDTT of the primary coolant system. Heatup to this tempera-l ture will be accomplished by operating the reactor coolant pumps.

3.1-8

3 ,

If,the chutdown margin rcquircd by Sp:cificction 3.5.2 in maintnined, thera

'is no possibility of an accidental criticality as a result of a decrease of coolant pressure.

The requirement for pressurizar bubble forastion and specified water level when the reactor is less than 1% suberitical will assure that the reactor coolant afates cannot become solid in the event of a rod withdrawal accident or a startup accident.(3)

The requirement that the safety rod groups be fully withdrawn before crici-cality ensures shutdown capability during startup. This does not prohibit rod latch confirmation, i.e. , withdrawal by group to a maximum of 3 inches withdrawn of all seven groups prior to safety rod withdrawa1. ,

The requirement for regulating rods being within their rod position limits ensures that the shutdown margin and ejected rod criteria at hoe zero power are not violated.
