SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION 1.1 PURPOSE, SCOPE AND ORGANIZATION OF REPORT 1.1.1 Introduction This Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) is submitted by Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota Corporation (NSPM), herein designated as the licensee (refer to section 1.4.1), for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, herein designated as the plant, consisting of two units situated at the Prairie Island site near Red Wing, Minnesota, in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50 Section 50.71(e) as published in the Federal Register on May 9, 1980. The two units are known as Prairie Island Units 1 and 2. This USAR is the updated version of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). The FSAR was originally submitted on January 28, 1971. That document will be referred to as the original FSAR. Unit 1 licensing was based on the FSAR as amended through amendment 36. Unit 2 licensing was based on the FSAR as amended through amendment 38. Amendment 38 was submitted on May 3, 1974. After May 3, 1974, the FSAR was not amended and became an historical document, which will be referred to as the FSAR. The USAR contains a current description of the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, as of the latest revision date (see document control section). The USAR will be revised on a refueling interval basis per 10CFR50.71(e)(4), within 6 months following each Unit 2 refueling outage. The Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, each employ a 2-loop pressurized water reactor. NSPM owns the facility. Northern States Power Company, a Minnesota corporation (NSPM) operates the facility. Westinghouse Electric Corporation designed and supplied the nuclear steam supply system, the initial reactor fuel, and the turbines in both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Westinghouse designed and supplied the electric 01435983 generator in Unit 1. Mitsubishi Hitachi designed and supplied the Unit 2 replacement electric generator. Framatome-ANP designed and supplied the Unit 1 Steam Generators. AREVA-NP designed and supplied the Unit 2 Steam Generators. Pioneer Service and Engineering Company (PS&E) was the plants architect-engineer. Northern States Power Company was the constructor. The plant was constructed, pursuant to Construction Permits CPPR-45 and CPPR-46, at the Prairie Island site in Goodhue Country, Minnesota. Construction started on June 26, 1969. Initial fuel loading was completed during Fall of 1973 for Unit 1 and Fall of 1974 for Unit 2. Following a period of testing, full commercial operation began on December 16, 1973 for Unit 1 under Facility Operating License Number DPR-42, and on December 21, 1974 for Unit 2 under Facility Operating License Number DPR-60.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.1-2 This USAR contains an analysis and evaluation of the plant, including the core, based on operation at 1677 MWt per reactor, which is equivalent to a gross electrical output of 584 MWe. Each reactor is capable of an ultimate power output of 1721.4 MWt, and steam and power conversion equipment, including the turbine generator output is based 01435983 on plant efficiency and operational requirements. All plant safety systems, including containment and engineered safeguards, were designed and originally evaluated for operation at the maximum power level of 1721.4 MWt. The containment for each unit was designed by PS&E and consists of two systems: A primary containment consisting of a free-standing low-leakage steel vessel, including its penetrations, isolation systems and heat removal systems. A secondary medium leakage concrete shield building surrounding the primary containment, including special ventilation systems for its annulus and adjacent auxiliary building. 1.1.2 Methods of Technical Presentation 1.1.2.1 Purpose This USAR contains the changes necessary to reflect significant information and analyses submitted to the Commission by NSPM or prepared by NSPM pursuant to Commission requirements since the submittal of the FSAR. 1.1.2.2 Radioactive Material Barrier Concept The safety aspects of this report pertain to the relationship between plant behavior under varied circumstances and the radiological consequences to persons offsite. This report is oriented to the radioactive material barrier approach as this approach facilitates evaluation of the radiological effect of the plant on the environs and to the health and safety of the general public. The relationship of a system or component to these radioactive material barriers is the overriding consideration as to the depth of technical information presented about that system or component. Systems that must operate to preserve the radioactive material barriers are described in the greatest detail. Systems that have little relationship to the radioactive material barriers are described only with as much detail as is necessary to establish their functional role in the plant. 1.1.2.3 Organization of Contents The USAR is organized into 14 major sections each of which consists of a number of subsections. The principal architectural and engineering criteria which define the broad frame of reference within which the plant is designed are set forth in subsection 1.2. Subsection 1.3 presents a brief description of the plant in which the nuclear safety systems and engineered safeguards are separated from the other plant systems, so that those systems essential to safety are clearly identified.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.1-3 Section 2 contains a description and evaluation of the site and environs, supporting the suitability for a nuclear plant of the size and type described. Section 3 and Section 4 describe the reactors and the reactor coolant systems, Section 5 the containment and related systems, and Sections 6 through 12 the emergency and other auxiliary systems. Section 13 describes the Companys program for organization and training of plant personnel. Section 14 is a safety evaluation summarizing the analyses which demonstrate the adequacy of the reactor protection system, and the engineered safety features systems. The consequences of various postulated accidents are within the criteria in 10CFR50.67. The appendices to the USAR describe and evaluate, (D) radioactive source bases, (E) environmental studies, (F) probable maximum flood, (G) containment system evaluation (H) meteorological program, (I) postulated pipe failure analysis outside containment, (J) pre-operational and start-up tests and (K) containment pressure response to LOCA. Incorporated into the design of this plant are features to improve both operational performance and overall safety which have been presented in special topical reports. These reports are referenced in the text where applicable. 1.1.2.4 Format Organization of Subsections The USAR Table of Contents is provided with Volume One and shows 2 or 3 digit subsection detail only (1.2, 12.3, etc.). Tables of Contents for each section are provided at the beginning of each section. The listing of effective pages showing the current revision and effective date of each page is provided with Volume One. Tables and figures are grouped in numerical order at the end of each section. The order is tables first, then figures. References are listed in order of appearance in a separate subsection just ahead of the tables at the end of each major section. Some of the references used in the USAR may not have been previously submitted to the NRC, but are available from NSP. Subsections are numerically identified by order of appearance in a section using a decimal numbering system, e.g., 3.4, the fourth subsection in Section 3.0. Subsections are further subdivided using decimal numbers (3.4.1.1, etc.). Pages within each subsection are consecutively numbered (3.4-1, 3.4-2, etc.).

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.1-4 Tabulations of data are designated Tables and are identified by the subsection number followed by a hyphen and the number of the table according to its order of mention in the text, (Table 3.4-5 is the fifth table of subsection 3.4). Drawings, pictures, sketches, curves, graphs, and engineering diagrams are identified as Figures and are numbered using the same convention as tables. The general organization of a subsection describing a system or component usually follows:

a. Design Basis

b. Description

c. Performance Analysis

d. Inspection and Testing Identification of symbols used on Flow Diagrams is given on Figures 1.1-1 and 1.1-2.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-1 1.2 PRINCIPAL DESIGN CRITERIA The Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant was designed and constructed to comply with NSPs understanding of the intent of the AEC General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plant Construction Permits, as proposed on July 10, 1967 (Reference 1). Since the construction of the plant was significantly completed prior to the issuance of the February 20, 1971, 10CFR50, Appendix A General Design Criteria, the plant was not reanalyzed and the FSAR was not revised to reflect these later criteria. However, the AEC Safety Evaluation Report acknowledged that the AEC staff assessed the plant, as described in the FSAR, against the Appendix A design criteria and ... are satisfied that the plant design generally conforms to the intent of these criteria. (Reference 5, Section 3.1.) Section 1.2 of the USAR presents a brief description of related plant features which are provided to meet the design objectives reflected in groups of the proposed general design criteria. Section 1.5 of the USAR presents a brief description of related plant features which are provided to meet the design objectives reflected in each of the 70 proposed (July 1967) general design criteria. The description of plant structures, systems and components is more fully developed in succeeding sections of the USAR, as indicated by references in Sections 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5. The succeeding sections state the licensees understanding of the intent of the criteria and describe how the plant design complies with those requirements. As originally presented in the FSAR, the licensees understanding of the intent of the criteria are in the form of re-stated GDCs that differ in wording and content from the AECs proposed 1967 GDC. The re-stated GDCs match, in general, those provided in a document transmitted October 2, 1967 by the Atomic Industrial Forum entitled Comments of Forum Committee on Reactor Safety on AECs Proposed Construction Permit Criteria. (Reference 6) For those structures, systems and components that have been added to the plant or other licensing commitments made, the appropriate vintage general design criteria has been identified in the applicable section of the USAR. In Section 1.5, those criteria which were originally designated in parentheses as Category A required that more definitive information be provided to the AEC at the construction permit stage. All other criteria were designated as Category B. However, these categories are no longer applicable and are not included.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-2 1.2.1 Overall Plant Requirements (GDC 1 - GDC 5)

1. Quality Standards

2. Performance Standards

3. Fire Protection

4. Sharing of Systems

5. Records Requirements All systems and components of the facility are classified according to their importance.

Those items vital to safe shutdown whose failure might cause or increase the severity of an accident or result in an uncontrolled release of substantial amount of radioactivity are designated Design Class I. Design Class I systems and components are essential to the protection of the health and safety of the public. Quality standards of material selection, design, fabrication and inspection conform to the applicable provisions of recognized codes, and good nuclear practice. All systems and components designated Design Class I are designed so that there is no loss of function in the event of the Design Basis Earthquake acting in the horizontal (0.12g) and vertical (0.08g) directions simultaneously. In addition, Design Class I structures and equipment are designed to withstand all environmental factors including tornadoes. The working stress for both Design Class I and Design Class II items are kept within code allowable values for the operating basis earthquake. Similarly, measures are taken in the plant design to protect against high winds, flooding, and other natural phenomena. Fire prevention in all areas of the nuclear unit is provided by structure and component design which maximizes the use of fire-resistant materials, optimizes the containment of combustible materials and maintains exposed combustible materials below their ignition temperature in the design atmosphere. Fixed or portable fire fighting equipment is provided with capacities proportional to the energy that might credibly be released by fire. The Fire Protection System provided has the design capability to extinguish any fire which might occur at the plant. Those systems of components which are shared, between the two units or functionally within a single unit, are designed in such a manner that plant safety is not impaired by the sharing. A complete set of as-built facility plant and system diagrams, including arrangement plans and structural plans, and records of initial tests and operation are maintained throughout the life of the plant. A set of all the quality assurance data generated during fabrication and erection of the essential components of the plant, as defined by the quality assurance program, is retained.

7. Suppression of Power Oscillations

8. Overall Power Coefficient

9. Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary

10. Containment The reactor core, with its related control and protection system, is designed to function throughout its design lifetime without exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits. The core design, together with reliable process and decay heat removal systems, provides for this capability under all expected conditions of normal operation with appropriate margins for uncertainties and anticipated transient situations.

Each Reactor Control and Protection System is designed to actuate a reactor trip for any anticipated combination of plant conditions, when necessary, to ensure a minimum Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB) ratio equal to or greater than the applicable limit. The design of the reactor core and related protection systems ensures that power oscillations which could cause fuel damage in excess of acceptable limits are not possible or can be readily suppressed. The potential for possible spatial oscillation of core power distribution has been reviewed. It is concluded that tolerable low frequency xenon oscillations may occur in the axial dimension. Control systems (control rods and boron) are available to suppress these oscillations. The core is stable to xenon oscillations in the X-Y dimension.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-4 Out-of-core instrumentation is provided to obtain necessary information concerning power distribution. This instrumentation is adequate to enable the operator to monitor and control xenon induced oscillations. The Reactor Coolant System in conjunction with its control and protective provisions is designed to accommodate the system pressures and temperatures attained under all expected modes of plant operation or anticipated system interactions, and maintain the stresses within applicable code stress limits. The materials of construction of the pressure boundary of the Reactor Coolant System are protected, by control of coolant chemistry, from corrosion phenomena which might otherwise reduce the system structural integrity during its service lifetime. System conditions resulting from anticipated transients or malfunctions are monitored, and appropriate action is automatically initiated to maintain the required cooling capability and to limit system conditions to a safe level. The system is protected from overpressure by means of pressure relieving devices, as required by Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Isolable sections of the system containing components designed in conformance with Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are provided with overpressure relieving devices discharging to closed systems, such that the system code allowable relief pressure within the protected section is not exceeded. The containment design pressure and temperature exceeds the peak pressure and temperature occurring as the result of the complete blowdown of the reactor coolant through any pipe rupture of the Reactor Coolant System up to and including the hypothetical severance of a reactor coolant pipe. The penetration for the main steam, feedwater, blowdown and sample lines are designed so that the penetration is stronger than the piping system and the containment will not be breached due to a hypothesized pipe rupture. All lines connected to the Reactor Coolant System that penetrate the containment are also anchored in the loop compartment shield walls and are each provided with at least one valve between the anchor and the coolant system. These anchors are designed to withstand the thrust moment and torque resulting from a hypothesized rupture of the attached pipe or the loads induced by the Design Basis Earthquake. All isolation valves are supported to withstand, without impairment of valve operability, the loading of the design basis accident coincident with the Design Basis Earthquake.

18. Monitoring Fuel and Waste Storage The plant is equipped with a control room which contains the controls and instrumentation necessary for operation of both reactors and turbine generators under normal and accident conditions.

Sufficient shielding, distance, and containment integrity are provided to assure that control room personnel shall not be subjected to doses under postulated accident conditions during occupancy of, ingress to and egress from the control room which, in 01406407 the aggregate, would exceed 5 Rem TEDE for the duration of the accident. For each unit, instrumentation and controls essential to avoid undue risk to the health and safety of the public are provided to monitor and maintain neutron flux, reactor coolant pressure, flow rate, temperature, and control rod positions within prescribed operating ranges. Other instrumentation and control systems are provided to monitor and maintain within prescribed operating ranges the temperatures, pressures, flows, and levels in the Reactor Coolant Systems, Steam Systems, Containments and other Auxiliary Systems. The quantity and types of instrumentation provided are adequate for safe and orderly operation of all systems and processes over the full operating range of the plant.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-6 The operational status of each reactor is monitored from the control room. When the reactor is subcritical the neutron source multiplication is continuously monitored and indicated by proportional counters located in instrument wells in the primary shield adjacent to the reactor vessel. The source range detector channels can be checked prior to operations in which criticality may be approached. Any appreciable increase in the neutron source multiplication, including that caused by the maximum physical boron dilution rate, is slow enough to give ample time to start corrective action (boron dilution stop and/or emergency boron injection) to prevent the core from becoming critical. Means for showing the relative reactivity status of each reactor is provided by control bank positions displayed in the control room. Periodic samples of coolant boron concentration can be taken. The variation in concentration during core life provides a further check on the reactivity status of the reactor including core depletion. Instrumentation and controls provided for the protection systems are designed to trip the reactors when necessary to prevent or limit fission product release from the cores and to limit energy release; to signal containment isolation; and to control the operation of engineered safety features equipment. During reactor operation in the startup and power modes, redundant safety limit signals will automatically actuate two reactor trip breakers which are in series with the rod drive mechanism coils. This action would interrupt rod drive power and initiate reactor trip. If the reactor protection system receives signals which are indicative of an approach to an unsafe operating condition, the system actuates alarms, prevents control rod motion, initiates load cutback, and/or opens the reactor trip breakers. The basic reactor tripping philosophy is to define an allowable region of power and coolant temperature conditions. This allowable range is defined by the primary tripping functions, the overpower T trip, overtemperature T trip, and the nuclear power range high flux trip. The operating region below these trip settings is designed so that no combination of power, temperatures and pressure could result in DNBR less than the applicable limit. Additional tripping functions such as power range high positive and negative neutron flux rate, power range neutron flux (low setpoint), intermediate range high neutron flux, source range high neutron flux, pressurizer high pressure, pressurizer low pressure, pressurizer high level, RCP breaker open, RCP bus undervoltage, RCP bus underfrequency, steam generator low-low level, safety injection initiation, turbine trip and manual trip are provided to backup the primary tripping functions for specific accident conditions and mechanical failures. Rod stops from nuclear intermediate and power range high flux, overpower T and overtemperature T deviation are provided to prevent abnormal power conditions which could result from excessive control rod withdrawal initiated by a malfunction of the reactor control system or by operator violation of administrative procedures.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-7 Positive indication in the control room of leakage of coolant from the Reactor Coolant System to the containment is provided by equipment which permits continuous monitoring of the containment air activity and humidity, and is provided by the runoff from the condensate collecting pans under the cooling coils of the containment air cooling (fan coil) units. The basic design criterion is the detection of deviations from normal containment environmental conditions including air particulate activity, radiogas activity, humidity, condensate runoff and in addition, in the case of gross leakage, the liquid inventory in the process systems and containment sump. The containment atmosphere, the plant vents, the containment cooling water discharges, the condenser air ejectors, the steam generator blowdown effluents, and the Waste Disposal System liquid effluent are monitored for radioactivity concentration during all normal operations, anticipated transients and accident conditions. For the case of leakage from the reactor containment under accident conditions the plant area radiation monitoring system supplemented by portable survey equipment provides adequate monitoring of releases during an accident. Monitoring and alarm instrumentation are provided for fuel and waste storage and handling areas to detect excessive radiation levels. Monitoring and alarms are also provided to detect inadequate cooling of spent fuel. Radiation monitors are provided to maintain surveillance over the release of radioactive gases and liquids. Controlled ventilation systems remove airborne radioactivity from the atmosphere of the fuel storage and waste treatment areas of the auxiliary building and discharge it through filters to the atmosphere via the vents. Radiation monitors are in continuous service in these areas to actuate high-activity alarms on the control board annunciator.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-8 Upon a loss of power to the coils, the rod cluster control (RCC) assemblies are released and fall by gravity into the core. The reactor internals, fuel assemblies, RCC assemblies and drive system components are designed as Class I equipment. The RCC assemblies are fully guided through the fuel assembly and for the maximum travel of the control rod into the guide tube. Furthermore, the RCC assemblies are never fully withdrawn from their guide thimbles in the fuel assembly while in the core. As a result of these design safeguards and the flexibility designed into the RCC assemblies, abnormal loadings and misalignments can be sustained without impairing operation of the RCC assemblies. Protection channels are designed with sufficient redundancy for individual channel calibration and testing to be made during operation without degrading the reactor protection system. Bypass removal of one trip circuit is accomplished by placing that channel in a partial-tripped mode, i.e., a two-out-of-three channel becomes a one-out-of-two channel. Testing does not cause a trip unless a trip condition exists in a concurrent channel. The trip signal furnished by the remaining channels would be unimpaired in this event. In the Reactor Protection System two reactor trip breakers are provided to interrupt power to the RCCA drive mechanisms. The breaker main contacts are connected in series (with the power supply) so that opening either breaker interrupts power to all RCC assemblies permitting them to fall by gravity into the core. Each breaker is opened through an undervoltage trip coil. Each protection channel actuates two separate trip logic trains, one for each reactor trip breaker undervoltage trip coil. The protection system is thus inherently safe in the event of a loss of rod control power. Channel independence is carried throughout the system extending from the sensor to the relay actuating the protective function. The protective and control functions when combined are combined only at the sensor. A failure in the control circuit does not affect the protection channel. The power supplied to the channels is fed from four instrument buses for each unit. Each of the buses is normally powered through an inverter by a 480v safeguards bus, which can be connected to one of the plants emergency generators. In the event of the loss of its associated 480v safeguards bus, each of the instrument buses is powered by the respective train 125 VDC safeguards battery.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-9 The initiation of the engineered safety features provided for loss-of-coolant accidents, e.g., high head safety injection and residual heat removal pumps, and containment spray systems, is accomplished from redundant signals derived from Reactor Coolant System and containment pressure instrumentation. The initiation signal for containment spray comes from coincidence of three sets of one-out-of-two high-high containment pressure signals. On loss of voltage of a safety features equipment bus, the diesel generator will be automatically started and connected to the bus provided no other source of power is available to the bus. The signals for initiation of safety injection are main steam line low pressure, pressurizer low pressure, containment high pressure and manual from the control room. A safety injection initiation will then cause a reactor trip, isolate main feedwater, start the diesel generators, start the auxiliary feedwater pumps, safety injection pumps, containment fan coil units and safeguards cooling water pumps, initiate containment isolation, containment ventilation isolation and control room ventilation isolation. The main steam isolation valves on both loops will be closed by a high-high containment pressure signal. The main steam isolation valve will be closed by a high-high steam flow in that loop coincident with a safety injection signal or high steam flow coincident with low-low T-average and a safety injection signal. The components of the protection system are designed and laid out so that the mechanical and thermal environment accompanying any emergency situation in which the components are required to function does not interfere with that function. Each protection channel in service at power is capable of being calibrated and tripped independently by simulated signals to verify its operation without tripping the plant. Each reactor trip circuit is designed so that trip occurs when the circuit is de-energized; an open circuit or loss of channel power therefore, causes the system to go into its trip mode. In a two-out-of-three circuit, the three channels are equipped with separate primary sensors and each channel is energized from independent instrument panels. In addition, the reactor protection system will energize the normally de-energized shunt trip device, which in turn trips the reactor trip breaker. Redundancy in emergency power is provided in that there are two diesel-generator sets dedicated to each unit, and capable of supplying separate 4160 volt buses. One complete set of safety features equipment for the associated unit is therefore independently supplied from each diesel generator. Diesel engine cranking is accomplished by a stored energy system supplied solely for the associated diesel-generator. The undervoltage relay scheme is designed so that loss of power does not prevent the relay scheme from functioning properly. The ability of the diesel-generator sets to start within the prescribed time and to carry load is checked during the integrated SI test. The diesel-generator breaker is closed automatically after starting during this testing. The generator may also be manually synchronized to the 4160 volt bus for loading.

32. Maximum Reactivity Worth of Control Rods In addition to the reactivity control achieved by the RCC assemblies as detailed in Section 7, reactivity control is provided by the Chemical and Volume Control System which regulates the concentration of boric acid solution neutron absorber in the Reactor Coolant System. The system is designed to prevent uncontrolled or inadvertent reactivity changes which might cause system parameters to exceed design limits.

The reactivity control systems provided are capable of making and holding the core subcritical from any hot standby or hot operating condition, including those resulting from power changes. The RCC assemblies are divided into two categories comprised of control and shutdown rod groups. The control group of RCC assemblies is used to compensate for short term reactivity changes at power such as those produced due to variations in reactor power requirements or in coolant temperature. The soluble poison control is used to compensate for the more slowly occurring changes in reactivity throughout core life such as those due to fuel depletion, fission product buildup and decay, and load follow. The shutdown groups are provided to supplement the control groups of RCC assemblies to make the reactor at least one per cent subcritical (keff = 0.99) following trip from any credible operating condition to the hot zero power condition assuming the most reactive RCC assembly remains in the fully withdrawn position. Any time that the plant is at power, the quantity of boric acid retained in available boric acid tanks and ready for injection always exceeds that quantity required for normal cold shutdown of one unit.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-11 For each unit, boric acid is pumped from the boric acid tanks by one of the boric acid transfer pumps to the suction of the charging pumps which inject boric acid into the reactor coolant system. Each charging pump and any boric acid transfer pump can be operated from diesel generator power on loss of offsite power. Boric acid can be injected by one pump at a rate which takes the reactor to hot shutdown, with no rods inserted, in less than 80 minutes. In 80 additional minutes, enough boric acid can be injected to compensate for xenon decay although xenon decay below the equilibrium operating level does not begin immediately, but could occur up to 26 hours after shutdown, depending upon power history. If two boric acid transfer pumps and two charging pumps are available, these time periods are reduced. Additional boric acid injection is employed if it is desired to bring the reactor to cold shutdown conditions. In the event that injection using the Charging Pumps is not available, the Safety Injection system can perform this function using borated water from the refueling water storage tank. If necessary, the RCS can be sufficiently depressurized to allow injection with the Safety Injection Pumps. Since the CVCS is normally used for responding to slower reactivity transients, crediting the Safety Injection Pumps in this event is considered acceptable. The Reactor Protection Systems are designed to limit reactivity transients to DNBR equal to or greater than the applicable limit due to any single malfunction in the deboration controls. The maximum reactivity worth of control rods and the maximum rates of reactivity of insertion employing both control rods and boron removal are limited to values for which acceptable transient analysis results are obtained in terms of preventing rupture of the reactor coolant pressure boundary or disruption of the core or vessel internals to a degree so as to lose capability to cool the core. The rod cluster drive mechanisms are wired into preselected groups and are normally prevented from being withdrawn in other than their respective groups. The control and shutdown rod drive mechanisms are of the magnetic latch type and the coil actuation is programmed to provide variable speed rod travel. The insertion rate is analyzed in the detailed plant analysis. It is assumed that two of the highest worth groups are accidentally withdrawn at maximum speed. This is to insure that the reactivity insertion rates are well within the capability of the reactor protection circuits. Thus core damage is prevented.

35. Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Brittle Fracture Prevention

36. Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Surveillance The reactor coolant boundary is shown to be capable of accommodating without rupture, the static and dynamic loads imposed as a result of a sudden reactivity insertion such as a rod ejection.

Definition of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary. Per 10 CFR 50.2, Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary means all those pressure-containing components of pressurized water-cooled nuclear power reactors, such as pressure vessels, piping, pumps and valves, which are: (1) Part of reactor coolant system or (2) Connected to the reactor coolant system, up to and including any and all of the following: (i) The outermost containment isolation valve in system piping the penetrates primary reactor containment, (ii) The second of two valves normally closed during normal reactor operation in system piping which does not penetrate primary reactor containment, (iii) The reactor coolant system safety and relief valves. For completeness, additional Prairie Island clarifications from Section 12.2.1.2, Design Codes, are repeated below. (3) The reactor coolant system (i) Portions of associated auxiliary systems connected to the reactor coolant system. For piping of these systems which penetrate primary reactor containment, the boundary extends to and includes the first containment isolation valve outside the containment capable of external actuation. For piping of these systems which contain two valves, both of which are normally closed during normal reactor operation, the boundary extends to and includes the second of these two valves (the second of which must be capable of external actuation), whether or not the system piping penetrates primary reactor containment.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-13 (ii) Portions of the emergency core cooling system connected to the reactor coolant system. For piping of these systems which penetrate primary reactor containment, the boundary extends to and includes the first containment isolation valve outside containment capable of external actuation. For piping of these systems which do not penetrate primary reactor containment, the boundary extends to and includes the second of two valves normally closed during normal reactor operation. The operation of the reactor is such that the severity of a rod ejection accident is inherently limited. Since rod cluster control assemblies are used to control load variations only and boron dilution is used to compensate for core depletion, only the RCCA in the controlling groups are inserted in the core at power, and at full power these rods are only partially inserted. This condition can be verified by a rod insertion limit monitor. By using the flexibility in the selection of control groupings, radial locations and position as a function of load, the design limits the maximum fuel temperature for the highest worth ejected rod to a value which precludes any resultant damage to the Reactor Coolant System pressure boundary, from possible excessive pressure surges. The Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program monitors the effects of radiation on reactor vessel materials, and establishes operating limits to assure that brittle fracture of the reactor vessel will not occur. The program is in accordance with ASTM-E-185 (Ref. 3).

Testing of Operational Sequence of Air Cleanup Systems The design, fabrication, testing and inspection of the core, reactor coolant pressure boundary and their protection systems give assurance of safe and reliable operation under all anticipated normal, transient, and accident conditions. However, engineered safety features are provided in the facility to back up the safety provided by these components.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-15 These engineered safety features have been designed to cope with any size reactor coolant pipe break up to and including the circumferential rupture of any pipe assuming unobstructed discharge from both ends, and to cope with any steam or feedwater line break. The total loss of all offsite power is assumed concurrent with these accidents. The primary purpose of the Safety Injection System is to automatically deliver cooling water to the reactor core in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident. This limits the fuel clad temperature and ensures that the core will remain intact and in place, with its heat transfer geometry preserved. This protection is afforded for:

a. All pipe break sizes up to and including the hypothetical instantaneous circumferential rupture of a reactor coolant loop, assuming unobstructed discharge from both ends.

b. A loss of coolant associated with the rod ejection accident.

c. A steam generator tube rupture.

The principal design criteria for loss-of-coolant accident evaluations are given in Section 14.6. These criteria assure the core geometry is retained to such an extent that effective cooling of the core is not impaired. For any rupture of a steam pipe and the associated uncontrolled heat removal from the core, the Emergency Core Cooling System adds shutdown reactivity so that with a stuck rod, no off-site power, and minimum engineered safety features, there is no consequential damage to the primary Reactor Coolant System and the core remains in place and intact. With no stuck rod, no-off-site power and all equipment operating at design capacity, there is insignificant cladding rupture. The Safety Injection System consists of centrifugal safety injection pumps driven by electric motors, and passive accumulator tanks which are self energized and which act independently of any actuation signal or power source. The release of fission products from the containment is limited in three ways:

a. Blocking the potential leakage paths from the containment. This is accomplished by:

1. A steel, leak-tight containment vessel with testable penetrations;

2. Isolation of process lines which imposes double barriers for each line penetrating the containment;

3. A shield building surrounding the containment vessel with an associated ventilation system containing particulate, absolute and charcoal filters;

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-16

4. A special zone ventilation system, collecting leakage from the auxiliary building and discharging it through particulate, absolute and charcoal filters.

b. Reducing the fission product concentration in the containment atmosphere.

This is accomplished by spraying water which removes airborne elemental iodine vapor by washing action.

c. Reducing the containment pressure and thereby limiting the driving potential for fission product leakage by cooling the containment atmosphere using the following systems:

1. Containment Spray System

2. Containment Air Cooling System A comprehensive program of plant testing is formulated for all equipment systems and system control vital to the functioning of engineered safety features. The program consists of performance tests of individual pieces of equipment in the manufacturers shop, integrated tests of the system as a whole, and periodic tests of the actuation circuitry and mechanical components to assure reliable performance upon demand, throughout the plant lifetime.

The plant is supplied with normal, standby and emergency power sources as follows:

a. The normal source of auxiliary power for safeguards equipment is the off-site power source. Power is supplied via the reserve auxiliary transformer or the cooling tower substation transformer.

b. Two emergency diesel-generators for each unit are connected to the emergency buses to supply power in the event of loss of all other a-c auxiliary power. Each of the two emergency diesel generators per unit is capable of supplying automatically the engineered safety features load required for an acceptable post-blowdown containment pressure transient for any loss-of-coolant accident, or for shutdown of the unit.

01471873

c. Emergency power supply for vital instruments and for control is supplied from the 125V DC systems.

For such engineered safety features as are required to ensure safety in the event of such an accident or equipment failure, protection from these dynamic effects or missiles is considered in the layout of plant equipment and missile barriers.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-17 Layout and structural design specifically protect injection paths leading to unbroken reactor coolant loops against damage as a result of the maximum reactor coolant pipe rupture. Injection lines penetrate the main compartment walls which act as missile barriers. The injection headers are located in the missile-protected area between the compartment walls and the containment outside wall. Individual injection lines are connected to the injection header, pass through the compartment walls and then connect to the loops. Movement of the injection line associated with rupture of a reactor coolant loop is accommodated by line flexibility and by the design of the pipe supports such that no damage outside the missile barrier is possible. Each engineered safety feature provides sufficient performance capability to accommodate any single failure of an active component and still function in a manner to avoid undue risk to the health and safety of the public. Under the hypothetical accident conditions, the Containment Air Cooling System and the Containment Spray System are designed to supply the post-accident cooling capacity to rapidly reduce the containment pressure following blowdown. All active components of the Safety Injection System (with the exception of injection line isolation valves) and the Containment Spray System are located outside the containment and not subjected to containment accident conditions. Instrumentation, motors, cables and penetrations located inside the containment are selected to meet the most adverse accident conditions to which they may be subjected. These items are either protected from containment accident conditions or are designed to withstand, without failure, exposure to the worst combination of temperature, pressure, and humidity expected during the required operational period. The reactor is maintained subcritical following a Reactor Coolant System pipe rupture accident. Introduction of borated cooling water into the core results in a net negative reactivity addition. The control rods insert and remain inserted. The delivery of cold safety injection water to the reactor vessel following accidental expulsion of reactor coolant has been analyzed. The results indicate that no further loss of integrity of the Reactor Coolant System boundary occurs as explained in Section 4.1. Design provisions are made to facilitate access to the critical parts of the reactor vessel internals, injection nozzles, pipes, valves and safety injection pumps for visual or boroscopic inspection for erosion, corrosion and vibration wear evidence, and for non-destructive inspection where such techniques are desirable and appropriate. The design provides for periodic testing of active components of the Safety Injection System for operability and functional performance. The safety injection and residual heat removal pumps are tested periodically during plant operation using the minimum flow recirculation lines provided.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-18 An integrated system test can be performed during each reactor refueling shutdown when the residual heat removal loop is in service. This test would not introduce flow into the Reactor Coolant System but would demonstrate the operation of the valves, pump circuit breakers, and automatic circuitry upon initiation of safety injection. The design provides for continuously monitoring the accumulator tank pressure and level during plant operation. The accumulators and the safety injection piping up to the final isolation valve are maintained full of borated water while the plant is in operation. Flow in each of the high head injection header lines and in the main flow line for the residual heat removal pumps is monitored by a flow indicator. The design provides for capability to test initially, to the extent practical, the full operational sequence up to the design conditions for the Safety Injection System to demonstrate the state of readiness and capability of the system. These functional tests provide information to confirm valve operating times, pump motor starting times, the proper automatic sequencing of load addition to the diesel-generators, and delivery rates of injection water to the Reactor Coolant System. The following general criteria are followed to assure conservatism in computing the required containment structural load capacity:

a. In calculating the containment pressure, rupture sizes up to and including a double-ended severance of reactor coolant pipe are considered.

b. In considering post-accident pressure effects, various malfunctions of the emergency systems are evaluated. Contingent mechanical or electrical failures are assumed to disable one of the diesel generators, such that only two of the four fan-coil units and one of the two containment spray pumps operate.

c. The pressure and temperature loadings obtained by analyzing various loss-of-coolant accidents, when combined with operating loads and maximum wind or seismic forces, do not exceed the load-carrying capacity of the structure, its access opening or penetrations.

Discharge of reactor coolant through a double-ended rupture of the main loop piping, followed by operation of only those engineered safety features which can run simultaneously with power from one emergency on-site diesel generator results in a sufficiently low radioactive material leakage from the containment structure that there is not undue risk to the health and safety of the public.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-19 The reinforced concrete shield building containment is not susceptible to a low temperature brittle fracture. The containment vessel is enclosed within the shield building and thus is not exposed to the temperature extremes of the environs. The containment ambient temperature during operation is between 50F and 120F which is well above the NDT temperature + 30F for the liner material. Containment penetrations which can be exposed to the environment are also designed to the NDT + 30F criterion. Isolation valves are provided as necessary for all fluid system lines penetrating the containment to assure at least two barriers for redundancy against leakage of radioactive fluids to the environment in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident. These barriers, in the form of isolation valves or closed systems, are defined on an individual line basis. In addition to satisfying containment isolation criteria, the valving is designed to facilitate normal operation and maintenance of the systems and to ensure reliable operation of other engineered safety features. After completion of the containment structure and installation of all penetrations, an initial integrated leakage rate test was conducted at the peak calculated accident pressure, maintained for a minimum of 24 hours, to verify that the leakage rate was well below the Technical Specification Limit. Periodic leak rate tests are performed as required in accordance with the Appendix J leak rate testing program. Penetrations are designed with double seals so as to permit test pressurization of the interior of the penetration. To accomplish this, a supply of clean, dry, compressed air or nitrogen is connected to the penetrations raising the internal pressure to the containment internal design pressure. Leakage from the system is checked by measurement of the pressure decay or metering of flow rate required to maintain the test pressure. In the event excessive leakage is discovered, penetration groups can then be checked separately. Capability is provided to the extent practical for testing the functional operability of valves and associated apparatus during periods of reactor shutdown. Initiation of containment isolation employs coincidence circuits which allow checking of the operability and calibration of one channel at a time. The main steam and feedwater piping and isolation valves in systems which connect to the Reactor Coolant System are hydrostatically tested to detect leakage. The steam line isolation valves are tested periodically for operability. Design provisions are made to the extent practical to facilitate access for periodic visual inspection of important components of the Containment Air Cooling and Containment Spray Systems.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-20 The containment pressure reducing systems are designed to the extent practical so that the spray pumps, spray injection valves and spray nozzles can be tested periodically and after any component maintenance for operability and functional performance. Permanent test lines for all the containment spray loops are located so that all components up to the isolation valves at the containment may be tested. These isolation valves are checked separately. Periodic testing is performed to verify that spray nozzles are not obstructed. Capability is provided to test initially, to the extent practical, the operational startup sequence beginning with transfer to alternate power sources.

69. Protection Against Radioactivity Release From Spent Fuel and Waste Storage Borated water is used to fill the spent fuel storage pit at a concentration to maintain spent fuel pool Keff < 0.95. The fuel is stored vertically in an array with sufficient center-to-center distance between assemblies to assure Keff < 1.0 even if unborated water were used to fill the pit.

During reactor vessel head removal and while loading and unloading fuel from the reactor, the boron concentration is maintained at a level sufficient to prevent a loss of shutdown margin due to inadvertent dilution. The design of the fuel handling equipment incorporates built-in interlocks and safety features. The refueling water provides a reliable and adequate cooling medium for spent fuel transfer. Heat removal is accomplished with an auxiliary cooling system.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-21 Adequate shielding for radiation protection is provided during reactor refueling by conducting all spent fuel transfer and storage operations under water. This permits visual control of the operation at all times while maintaining radiation levels less than 2.5 mrem/hr at or near the water surface. Pit water level is indicated, and water to be removed from the pit must be pumped out as there are no gravity drains. Shielding is provided for waste handling and storage facilities to permit operation within requirements of 10CFR20. Gamma radiation is continuously monitored at various locations in the Auxiliary Building. A high level signal is alarmed locally and is annunciated in the control room. Auxiliary shielding for the Waste Disposal System and its storage components is designed to limit the dose rate to levels not exceeding 1 mrem/hr in normally occupied areas, to levels not exceeding 2.5 mrem/hr in intermittently occupied areas and to levels not exceeding 15 mrem/hr in controlled occupancy areas. All waste handling and storage facilities are contained and equipment designed so that accidental releases directly to the atmosphere are monitored and will not exceed the guidelines of 10CFR100. The reactor cavity, refueling canal and spent fuel storage pit are reinforced concrete structures with seam-welded stainless steel plate liners. These structures are designed to withstand the anticipated earthquake loadings as Design Class I structures so that the liner will prevent leakage.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.2-22 Radioactive fluids entering the Waste Disposal System are collected in sumps and tanks until determination of subsequent treatment can be made. They are sampled and analyzed to determine the quantity of radioactivity, with an isotopic identification if necessary. Before discharge, radioactive fluids are processed as required and then released under controlled conditions. The system design and operation are characteristically directed toward minimizing releases to unrestricted areas in accordance with Appendix I to 10CFR Part 50. Discharge streams are appropriately monitored and safety features are incorporated to preclude release rates in excess of the limits of 10CFR20. Radioactive gases are transferred to an augmented gaseous radwaste system. The gases are segregated, recombined, and then pumped by compressors through a manifold to one of the gas decay tanks where they are held a suitable period of time for decay. Cover gases in the nitrogen blanketing system are re-used to minimize gaseous wastes. During normal operation, gases are discharged intermittently at a controlled rate from these tanks through the monitored plant vent. Liquid wastes are processed to remove radioactive materials. Filter cartridges, the spent resins from the demineralizers, and the concentrates from the evaporators are packaged and stored on-site until shipment off-site for disposal. Miscellaneous solid wastes, such as paper, rags and glassware, are compressed for storage, disposal or further processing.

SUMMARY

DESIGN DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY ANALYSIS The inherent design of the pressurized water, closed-cycle reactor significantly reduces the quantities of fission products which are released to the atmosphere. Four barriers exist between fission product accumulation and the environment. These are the uranium dioxide fuel matrix, the fuel cladding, the reactor vessel and coolant loops, and the reactor containment. The consequences of a breach of the fuel cladding are greatly reduced by the ability of the uranium dioxide lattice to retain fission products. Escape of fission products through fuel cladding defects would be contained within the pressure vessel, loops and auxiliary systems. Breach of these systems or equipment would release the fission products to the reactor containment where they would be retained. The reactor containment is designed to adequately retain these fission products under the most severe accident conditions, as analyzed in Section 14. Several engineered safety features have been incorporated into the plant design to reduce the consequences of a loss of coolant accident. These safety features include a Safety Injection System. This system automatically delivers borated water to the reactor vessel for cooling the core under high and low reactor coolant pressure conditions. The Safety Injection System also serves to insert negative reactivity into the core in the form of borated water during an uncontrolled plant cooldown following a steam line break or an accidental steam release. Other safety features which have been included in the reactor containment design are a Containment Air Cooling System which acts to effect a depressurization of the containment following a loss of coolant accident, and a Containment Spray System which acts to depressurize the containment and remove elemental iodine from the atmosphere by washing action. 1.3.1 Plant Site and Environs Section 2 of this report provides detailed information on the site and environs of the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 which confirms the suitability of the site. This section summarizes the principal design characteristics of the site and environs. The plant site is located in southeastern Minnesota on the west bank of the Mississippi River about 26 miles SE of the Twin City Metropolitan Area. The nearest population center is Eagen, Minnesota. Cooling water is drawn from the Mississippi River. Farming is the predominant activity in this moderately-populated area of the state. The plant is situated in a productive dairy farming and vegetable canning region; however, there is heavy industrialization to the northwest in the Twin Cities and to the south in Red Wing. The sub-surface soils at the site consist of permeable sandy alluvium which are generally suitable from a bearing capacity standpoint for support of the structures. However, settlement restrictions and a low margin of safety against liquefaction of the upper 50 feet (above elevation 645) of alluvium required that certain critical structures be supported on densified sand. Several hundred feet of sound sandstone underlie the alluvial soils.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision: 33 Page 1.3-2 River flows vary widely through the year. Generally, maximum flows occur in the spring and minimum flows occur in late summer (July, August, September) or mid-winter (January, February). The low flow of record is 2100 cfs (1936) and the average flow is 15,020 cfs. The plant design, construction and operation, including the radioactive waste control system, take into consideration the extremes of river flow and stage. The cooling towers are operated in accordance with the NPDES permit. The finished plant grade (695 feet MSL) is about 20 feet above mean river level (674.5 feet MSL), 7 feet above the record (687.7 feet MSL-1965), and 1 ft above the predicted 1,000 year flood (693.5 feet MSL). The plant is designed to withstand the effects of the probable maximum flood (703.6 feet MSL) The meteorology of the site area is basically that of a continental location with favorable atmospheric dilution conditions prevailing. Diffusion climatology comparisons with other locations indicate that the site is typical of midwestern United States. All structures are designed to withstand the maximum potential loadings resulting from a wind speed of 100 mph. The design is in accordance with standard codes and normal engineering practices. It is estimated that the probability of experiencing tornadic forces at the site is of the order of one chance per 220 years. In spite of this low probability, features of the plant important to the integrity of reactor core cooling are designed to withstand the forces of short-term tornadoes. There is no evidence of even ancient inactive faulting closer than six miles to the site. Inactive faults are located approximately 6 and 13 miles from the site. No activity has occurred along either of these faults in recent geologic times. The seismic design for critical structures and equipment for this plant is based on dynamic analyses of acceleration or velocity-response spectrum curves, based on a horizontal ground acceleration of 0.06g. Earthquake design is based on ordinary allowable stresses as set forth in the applicable codes. As an additional requirement, the design is such that a safe shutdown can be made during a horizontal ground acceleration of 0.12g. Seismic design criteria and the safety classification of important components are described in Section 12. An environmental radiation monitoring program was initiated in May 1970. Measurements are made of the radioactivity present in air, surface and well water, raw milk, vegetation, fish and other selected specimens. An ecological study of the Mississippi River in the areas of the plant was also begun in May 1970. Meteorological and water quality data has been gathered since May 1968.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision: 33 Page 1.3-3 1.3.2 Structures The major structures are the containment vessels, the shield buildings, the turbine building, the auxiliary building, D5/D6 diesel generator building, administration and service buildings, intake structures, and radwaste building. General equipment and plant layouts appear in Figures 1.1-3 through 1.1-18 and 2.2-1. All structures housing the reactors, their essential auxiliaries, and engineered safeguards systems are designed and rigorously analyzed to meet the most severe environmental conditions. These conditions and the applicable structural design criteria are described in Section 12. Each reactor containment consists of a cylindrical steel shell with a hemispherical dome and ellipsoidal bottom designed to withstand the internal pressure accompanying a loss-of-coolant accident. Each containment vessel is surrounded by a cylindrical shield building constructed of reinforced concrete which serves as a radiation shielding for normal operation and for the loss-of-coolant condition. In addition, the shield building acts as a secondary containment structure for control of containment leakage. The auxiliary building housing the essential auxiliaries, control room and spent fuel storage facilities for both units is located adjacent to the reactor buildings. The turbine building housing the turbine-generators and technical support center for both units is located adjacent to the auxiliary building. The D5/D6 diesel generator building housing the Unit 2 emergency diesel generators and electrical safeguards buses is located adjacent to the auxiliary and turbine buildings. The administration and service buildings housing general offices and computer facilities is located adjacent to the turbine building. The radwaste building, resin disposal building, and drum storage enclosure which house the radioactive waste handling, treatment, storage and disposal facilities for both units are all located adjacent to the auxiliary building. The plant screenhouse houses the cooling water pumps, fire pumps, circulating water pumps, trash racks and traveling screens. The intake screenhouse contains trash racks and traveling screens. 1.3.3 Nuclear Steam Supply System The Nuclear Steam Supply System for each unit consists of a pressurized water reactor, Reactor Coolant System, and associated auxiliary fluid systems. The Reactor Coolant System is arranged as two closed reactor coolant loops connected in parallel to the reactor vessel, each containing a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator. An electrically heated pressurizer is connected to one of the loops. The reactor core is composed of uranium dioxide pellets enclosed in ZIRLO/Zircaloy tubes with welded end plugs. The tubes are supported in assemblies by a spring clip grid structure. The mechanical control rods consist of clusters of stainless steel clad absorber rods and ZIRLO/Zircaloy guide tubes located within the fuel assembly.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision: 33 Page 1.3-4 The steam generators are vertical U-tube units utilizing Alloy 690 tubes. Integral 01406851 separating equipment reduces the moisture content of the steam at the steam outlet nozzle to less than 0.1% for the limiting analyzed condition of 10% steam generator tube plugging. The reactor coolant pumps are vertical, single stage, centrifugal pumps equipped with controlled leakage shaft seals. Auxiliary systems are provided to charge the Reactor Coolant System and to add makeup water, purify reactor coolant water, provide chemicals for corrosion inhibition and reactor control, cool system components, remove residual heat when the reactor is shutdown, cool the spent fuel storage pool, sample reactor coolant water, provide for emergency safety injection, and vent and drain the Reactor Coolant System. 1.3.4 Reactor and Plant Control The reactor is controlled by a coordinated combination of chemical shim and mechanical control rods. The control system allows the plant to accept step load changes of 10% and ramp load changes of 5% per minute as described in sections 4 and 7. It is also designed to sustain reactor operation following a step nominal full load rejection up to 40.0% power. Complete supervision of both the reactor and turbine generator is accomplished from the control room. Units 1 and 2 share the control room located in the auxiliary building. The control room layout including location of control boards for each unit is shown in Figure 7.8-1. Annunciators for alarms on the two units are on different control boards and have different audible tones which make them distinguishable. The waste disposal control board is located in the Auxiliary Building. This board permits the control and monitoring of the processing of wastes from a central location in the same general area where equipment is located. 1.3.5 Waste Disposal System The Waste Disposal System, common to both units, provides all equipment necessary to collect, process, and prepare for disposal all potentially radioactive liquid, gaseous, and solid wastes produced as a result of reactor operation. Liquid wastes are collected and processed as required. The waste evaporator condensate is sampled to determine residual activity and monitored during discharge to the river via the condenser circulating water discharge to assure concentrations as low as practicable below 10CFR20 limits. The evaporator residues are solidified, drummed and shipped from the site for ultimate disposal in an authorized location. Gaseous wastes are collected and stored until their radioactivity level is low enough so that discharge to the environment will be as low as practicable below 10CFR20 limits.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision: 33 Page 1.3-5 1.3.6 Fuel Handling System Each reactor is refueled with equipment designed to handle spent fuel under water from the time it leaves either reactor vessel until it is placed in a cask for shipment from the site.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-1 1.5 GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA The Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant was designed and constructed to comply with NSPs understanding of the intent of the AEC General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plant Construction Permits, as proposed on July 10, 1967 (Reference 1). Since the construction of the plant was significantly completed prior to the issuance of the February 20, 1971, Appendix A General Design Criteria, the plant was not reanalyzed and the FSAR was not revised to reflect these later criteria. However, the AEC Safety Evaluation Report acknowledged that the AEC staff assessed the plant, as described in the FSAR, against the Appendix A design criteria and ...are satisfied that the plant design generally conforms to the intent of these criteria. (Reference 5, Section 3.1.) Section 1.2 of the USAR presents a brief description of related plant features which are provided to meet the design objectives reflected in groups of the proposed general design criteria. Section 1.5 of the USAR presents a brief description of related plant features which are provided to meet the design objectives reflected in each of the 70 proposed (July 1967) general design criteria. The description of plant structures, systems and components is more fully developed in succeeding sections of the USAR, as indicated by references in Sections 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5. The succeeding sections state the licensees understanding of the intent of the criteria and describe how the plant design complies with those requirements. As originally presented in the FSAR, the licensees understanding of the intent of the criteria are in the form of re-stated GDCs that differ in wording and content from the AECs proposed 1967 GDC. The re-stated GDCs match, in general, those provided in a document transmitted October 2, 1967 by the Atomic Industrial Forum entitled Comments of Forum Committee on Reactor Safety on AECs Proposed Construction Permit Criteria. (Reference 6) For those structures, systems and components that have been added to the plant or other licensing commitments made, the appropriate vintage general design criteria have been identified in the applicable section of the USAR. In Section 1.5, those criteria which were originally designated in parentheses as Category A required that more definitive information be provided to the AEC at the construction permit stage. All other criteria were designated as Category B. However, these categories are no longer applicable and are not included.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-2 I. OVERALL PLANT REQUIREMENTS CRITERION 1 - QUALITY STANDARDS Those systems and components of reactor facilities which are essential to the prevention of accidents which could affect the public health and safety or to mitigation of their consequences shall be identified and then designed, fabricated, and erected to quality standards that reflect the importance of the safety function to be performed. Where generally recognized codes or standards on design, materials, fabrication, and inspection are used, they shall be identified. Where adherence to such codes or standards does not suffice to assure a quality product in keeping with the safety functions, they shall be supplemented or modified as necessary. Quality assurance programs, test procedures, and inspection acceptance levels to be used shall be identified. A showing of sufficiency and applicability or codes, standards, quality assurance programs, test procedures, and inspection acceptance levels used is required. ANSWER The systems and components of the facility are classified according to their importance 01481873 in the prevention and mitigation of accidents which could cause undue risk to the health and safety of the public. Prairie Islands original classification system utilized a combination of Design Classes and Quality Assurance Types. Design Classes are defined in Section 12 and Quality Assurance Types are defined below. The original, PINGP specific, classification system has been replaced by a system utilizing industry standard and regulatory documents as input. Thus, the current classification system is based on SSC functions and uses standard industry terminology, such as safety related. In general, QA Type I is associated with Safety Related, QA Type II is associated with Augmented Quality (a subset of Non-Safety Related), and QA Type III is associated with standard quality Non-Safety Related. Safety Related, Augmented Quality, and Non-Safety Related are defined in applicable fleet procedures. A discussion of the codes and standards, quality assurance programs, test provisions, etc., applying to each system is included in that portion of the USAR describing that system. A listing of the applicable sections is included in Section 1.2.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-3 Quality Assurance Types QA Type I - Those items for which the Quality Assurance Program must assure the highest feasible degree of quality standards consistent with the importance of the safety function to be performed. This category includes those items of the plant which are essential to the prevention of accidents which could affect the public health and safety by the release of quantities(1) of radioactivity or are required in the mitigation of the consequences of such accidents. QA Type II - Those items for which the Quality Assurance Program must engender a high confidence that the item will perform satisfactorily. This category includes those items whose failure would not directly affect the health and safety of the public, but the failure of which could cause severe economic loss or cause the plant to experience an extended outage. QA Type III - This category includes all other items not included in Types I and II. CRITERION 2 - PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Those systems and components of reactor facilities which are essential to the prevention of accidents which could affect the public health and safety or to mitigation of their consequences shall be designed, fabricated, and erected to performance standards that will enable the facility to withstand, without loss of the capability to protect the public, the additional forces that might be imposed by natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, flooding conditions, winds, ice, and other local site effects. The design bases so established shall reflect: (a) appropriate consideration of the most severe of these natural phenomena that have been recorded for the site and the surrounding area and (b) an appropriate margin for withstanding forces greater than those recorded to reflect uncertainties about the historical data and their suitability as a basis for design. ANSWER The systems and components designated Class I in Section 12, in conjunction with administrative controls and analysis, as applicable, are designed to withstand, without loss of capability to protect the public, the most severe environmental phenomena ever experienced at the site with appropriate margins included in the design for uncertainties in historical data. Potential environmental hazards are discussed and analyzed in Sections 2 and 14 of the report and the influence of these hazards on various aspects of the plant design is discussed in the sections covering the specific systems and components concerned. An outline of the design philosophy for Class I systems and components and a listing of the applicable report sections describing the systems and components covered by this criterion are included in Section 1.2. (1) A substantial amount of radioactivity is defined as that amount of radioactive material which would produce radiation levels at the site boundary in excess of 1% of 10 CFR100.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-4 CRITERION 3 - FIRE PREVENTION The reactor facility shall be designed (1) to minimize the probability of events such as fires and explosions and (2) to minimize the potential effects of such events to safety. Noncombustible and fire resistant materials shall be used whenever practical throughout the facility, particularly in areas containing critical portions of the facility such as containment, control room, and components of engineered safety features. ANSWER Through the use of noncombustible and fire resistant materials wherever practical in the facility and the limitation of combustible supplies (e.g., logs, records, manuals, etc.) in such areas as the control rooms to amounts required for current operation, the probability of such events as fire and explosion and the effects of such events should they occur are minimized. Fire protection criteria are discussed in Section 1.2 and specific means of meeting these criteria are described in Sections 7 and 10. CRITERION 4 - SHARING OF SYSTEMS Reactor facilities shall not share systems or components unless it is shown safety is not impaired by the sharing. ANSWER As noted in Section 1.2, those systems or components which are shared, either between the two units or functionally within a single unit, are designed in such a manner that plant safety is not impaired by the sharing. Specific instances of component or system sharing are described in the appropriate sections of the report as listed in Section 1.2. A functional evaluation of safety related shared systems is presented in Table 1.3-1 and 1.3-2. CRITERION 5 - RECORDS REQUIREMENTS Records of the design, fabrication, and construction of essential components of the plant shall be maintained by the reactor operator or under its control throughout the life of the reactor. ANSWER The applicant maintains, either in its possession or under its control, a complete set of records of the design, fabrication, construction and testing of Class I plant components throughout the life of the plant. Section 13 presents summary of records requirements for plant operation, maintenance, modification and review of procedures.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-5 II. PROTECTION BY MULTIPLE FISSION PRODUCT BARRIERS CRITERION 6 - REACTOR CORE DESIGN The reactor core shall be designed to function throughout its design lifetime, without exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits which have been stipulated and justified. The core design, together with reliable process and decay heat removal systems, shall provide for this capability under all expected conditions of normal operation with appropriate margins for uncertainties and for transient situations which can be anticipated, including the effects of the loss of power to recirculation pumps, tripping out of a turbine generator set, isolation of the reactor from its primary heat sink, and loss of all offsite power. ANSWER The ability of the core to function throughout its lifetime without exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits is discussed in Section 3. Detailed information on core design and performance is included in Section 3. The instrumentation and controls associated with the reactor are described in Section 7 while decay heat removal systems are discussed in Sections 6 and 10. Section 14 demonstrates that adequate fuel integrity is maintained under those postulated abnormal situations which could ultimately lead to problems in this area. CRITERION 7 - SUPPRESSION OF POWER OSCILLATIONS The core design, together with reliable controls, shall ensure that power oscillations which could cause damage in excess of acceptable fuel damage limits are not possible or can be readily suppressed. ANSWER The inherent ability of the core to prevent and suppress power oscillations and the instrumentation and controls provided to assist in this function is discussed in Sections 3 and 7, respectively CRITERION 8 - OVERALL POWER COEFFICIENT The reactor shall be designed so that the overall power coefficient in the power operating range shall not be positive. ANSWER The overall power coefficient is discussed in Section 3 and the core reload safety analysis for each fuel cycle.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-6 CRITERION 9 - REACTOR COOLANT PRESSURE BOUNDARY The reactor coolant pressure boundary shall be designed and constructed so as to have an exceedingly low probability of gross rupture or significant leakage throughout its design lifetime. ANSWER As discussed in detail in Section 4, the reactor coolant pressure boundary materials, design, analysis, fabrication and testing preclude the possibility of gross rupture or significant leakage throughout its design lifetime. CRITERION 10 - CONTAINMENT Containment shall be provided. The containment structure shall be designed to sustain the initial effects of gross equipment failures, such as a large coolant boundary break, without loss of required integrity and, together with other engineered safety features as may be necessary, to retain for as long as the situation requires the functional capability to protect the public. ANSWER The design of the containment structure, and associated auxiliary systems is described in Section 5. Other Engineered Safety Features required to suppress pressure inside the containment are described in Sections 6 and 10. Section 14 demonstrates the adequacy of such systems under various accident conditions including a rupture of the largest reactor coolant pipe.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-7 III. NUCLEAR AND RADIATION CONTROLS CRITERION 11 - CONTROL ROOM The facility shall be provided with a control room from which actions to maintain safe operational status of the plant can be controlled. Adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit access, even under accident condition, to equipment in the control room or other areas as necessary to shut down and maintain safe control of the facility without radiation exposures of personnel in excess of 10CFR20 limits. It shall be possible to shut the reactor down and maintain it in a safe condition if access to the control room is lost due to fire or other cause. ANSWER A common control room contains all controls and instrumentation necessary for operation of each units reactor, turbine generator, and auxiliary and emergency systems under normal or accident conditions. The control room is designed and equipped to minimize the possibility of events which might preclude occupancy. In addition, provisions were made for bringing both units to and maintaining a safe shutdown condition for an extended period of time from locations outside the control room. Safe shutdown is a reactor condition that requires the ability to maintain the reactor sub-critical, remove core decay heat, assure reactor coolant pressure boundary integrity for an extended time period and maintain the integrity of components whose failure could result in excessive offsite release. These conditions may be achieved by operator actions or by automatic reactor protection functions. The reactor conditions stated above are consistent with those conditions described in the Technical Specifications as Mode 3, Hot Standby, except as otherwise defined by 10CFR50, Appendix R. The employment of non-combustible and fire retardant materials in the construction of the control room contained equipment and furnishings, the limitation of combustible supplies to the minimum consistent with safe and efficient operation of the plant, the location of fire fighting equipment in the control room, and the continuous presence of an operator minimize the probability that the control room will become uninhabitable. In addition, the control room ventilation system is designed to keep the control room at a positive pressure and can be operated in a recirculating mode to prevent fire originating outside the control room from spreading to the control area. Protection from Toxic Chemical Release is described in Section 2.9.4.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-8 Sufficient shielding, distance, and containment integrity are provided to assure that control room personnel shall not be subjected to doses under postulated accident conditions during occupancy, ingress or egress of control room, which in the aggregate, would not exceed 5 Rem TEDE for the duration of the accident. The control room ventilation consists of a system having a large percentage of recirculated air during normal operation. After the postulated accident, outside air is automatically isolated and a portion of the recirculation air flow is rerouted through a system of HEPA and charcoal filters. Operation of the Control Room Ventilation System is discussed in Section 10.3.3. CRITERION 12 - INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS Instrumentation and controls shall be provided as required to monitor and maintain variables within prescribed operating ranges. ANSWER As discussed in detail in Section 7, sufficient instrumentation and controls are provided for safe and efficient operation of the facility. Additional details on instrumentation and controls are included in sections relating to specific systems and components. CRITERION 13 - FISSION PROCESS MONITORS AND CONTROLS Means shall be provided for monitoring and maintaining control over the fission process throughout core life and for all conditions that can reasonably be anticipated to cause variations in reactivity of the core, such as indication of position of control rods and concentration of soluble reactivity control poisons. ANSWER The means provided for monitoring the fission and the means of determining control rod position are described in Section 7 while the means of control and determination of boron concentration are detailed in Section 10. CRITERION 14 - CORE PROTECTION SYSTEMS Core protection systems, together with associated equipment, shall be designed to act automatically to prevent or to suppress conditions that could result in exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits. ANSWER The instrumentation and controls provided to prevent or suppress conditions which could result in exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits are described in Section 7.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-9 CRITERION 15 - ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES PROTECTION SYSTEMS Protection systems shall be provided for sensing accident situations and initiating the operation of necessary engineered safety features. ANSWER The facility is provided with adequate instrumentation and controls to sense accident situations and initiate the operation of necessary engineered safeguards systems. This protection system is presented in detail in Sections 6, 7, 10 and 11. CRITERION 16 - MONITORING REACTOR COOLANT PRESSURE BOUNDARY Means shall be provided for monitoring the reactor coolant pressure boundary to detect leakage. ANSWER Means of detecting leakage from the Reactor Coolant System is provided by measuring the airborne activity and humidity of the lower containment compartment, condensate collected by the fan coil units and indicating changes in makeup requirements and containment sump levels. These leakage detection methods are presented in detail in Section 6. CRITERION 17 - MONITORING RADIOACTIVITY RELEASES Means shall be provided for monitoring the containment atmosphere, the facility effluent discharge paths, and the facility environs for radioactivity that could be released from normal operations, from anticipated transients, and from accident conditions. ANSWER The facility contains means for monitoring the containment atmosphere, effluent discharge paths, and the facility environs for radioactivity which could be released under any conditions. The details of the effluent discharge path and containment monitoring methods are contained in Sections 7 and 9 while the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is described in Section 2. CRITERION 18 - MONITORING FUEL AND WASTE STORAGE Monitoring and alarm instrumentation shall be provided for fuel and waste storage and handling areas for conditions that might contribute to loss of continuity in decay heat removal and to radiation exposures. ANSWER Sufficient monitoring and alarm instrumentation is provided in waste and fuel storage areas to detect conditions which might contribute to loss of cooling for decay heat removal or abnormal radiation releases. Details of the monitoring systems are included in Sections 7, 9 and 10.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-10 IV. RELIABILITY AND TESTABILITY OF PROTECTION SYSTEMS CRITERION 19 - PROTECTION SYSTEMS RELIABILITY Protection systems shall be designed for high functional reliability and in-service testability commensurate with the safety functions to be performed. ANSWER All protection systems are designed for the utmost in reliability based on extensive testing in the shop and many years of actual operating experience. Sufficient redundancy of such systems is provided to enable test of instrumentation channels during plant operation without jeopardizing reactor safety. Detailed description of various portions of the systems are included in Section 7. CRITERION 20 - PROTECTION SYSTEMS REDUNDANCY AND INDEPENDENCE Redundancy and independence designed into protection systems shall be sufficient to assure that no single failure or removal from service of any component or channel of a system will result in loss of the protection channel. The redundancy provided shall include, as a minimum, two channels of protection for each protection function to be served. ANSWER As detailed in Section 7, sufficient redundancy and independence is designed into the protection systems to assure that no single failure nor removal from service of any component or channel results in loss of the protection function. In addition, the Proposed IEEE Criteria for Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineer, IEEE No. 279, August 30, 1968 (Ref. 4), was employed in the detailed design of the protection systems.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-11 CRITERION 21 - SINGLE FAILURE DEFINITION Multiple failures resulting from a single event shall be treated as a single failure. ANSWER When evaluating the control, protection, engineered safeguards and other systems of the facility, multiple failures resulting from a single event are treated as a single failure. The ability of each system to perform its function with a single failure is discussed in the sections describing the individual systems. A single failure is described as: A random failure and its consequential effects, in addition to an initiating occurrence, that results in the loss of capability of a component to perform its intended safety function(s). Fluid and electrical systems are considered to be designed against an assumed single failure if neither (1) a single failure of any active component (assuming passive components function properly), nor (2) a single failure of any passive component (assuming active components function properly) results in a loss of the capability of the system to perform its nuclear safety function. During the short term, the single failure considered may be limited to an active failure. During the long term, assuming no prior failure during the short term, the limiting single failure considered can be either active or passive. The short term is defined as that period of operation up to 24 hours following an initiating event, but for purposes of design of the emergency core cooling and containment spray systems, the short term shall be considered to terminate upon transfer of these systems to the long term cooling mode with the ECCS in low-head recirculation. There are exceptions; for example, for evaluating dose, passive failure of a RHR pump seal is not assumed to occur for at least 24 hours following an accident. The long term is defined as that period of safety related fluid system operation following the short term, during which the safety function of the system is required. For electrical systems, no distinction is made between failures of active and passive components and all such failures must be considered in applying the single failure criterion. Active failure in a fluid system is the failure of a component which relies on mechanical movement for its operation to complete its intended function on demand. Examples include a failure of a motor or air operated valve to move or assume its correct position on demand, failure of a pump to start or failure of an emergency diesel generator to start.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-12 A passive failure in a fluid system is a breach in the fluid pressure boundary or a mechanical failure which adversely affect a flow path. Examples include the failure of a simple check valve to move to its correct position when required or leakage from failed components (such as a pump seal or valve packing). Leakage due to pressure boundary breaches are limited to 50 gpm maximum; i.e., random piping breaks are not considered credible in addition to the initiating event. CRITERION 22 - SEPARATION OF PROTECTION AND CONTROL INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEM Protection systems shall be separated from control instrumentation systems to the extent that failure or removal from service of any control instrumentation system component or channel, or of those common to control instrumentation and protection circuitry, leaves intact a system satisfying all requirements for the protection channels. ANSWER Protection and control channels in the facility protection systems were designed in accordance with the IEEE-279, Proposed IEEE Criteria For Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems (Ref. 4). The coincident trip philosophy was employed to prevent a single failure from causing a spurious trip or from defeating the function of any channel. Each reactor trip is designed so that the trip occurs upon deenergization of the circuit; and open circuit or loss of power to a channel will, therefore, result in that channel going into its trip mode. In addition, the reactor protection system will energize the normally de-energized shunt trip device, which in turn trips the reactor trip breaker. Redundancy within each channel provides reliability and independence of operation. Channel independence is carried throughout the system from the sensor to the relay providing the logic. In some cases, however, it is desirable to employ a common sensor for both a control and protection channel. Both functions are fully isolated in the remainder of the channel, control being derived from the primary safety signal path through an isolation amplifier. As such, failure in the control circuitry does not adversely affect the safety channel.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-13 CRITERION 23 - PROTECTION AGAINST MULTIPLE DISABILITY FOR PROTECTION SYSTEMS The effects of adverse conditions to which redundant channels or protection systems might be exposed in common, either under normal conditions or those of an accident, shall not result in loss of the protection function. ANSWER Protection system components are being designed and arranged so that the mechanical and thermal environment accompanying any emergency situation in which the components are required to function does not interfere with that function. Details of this protection are provided in the appropriate portions of Section 7. CRITERION 24 - EMERGENCY POWER FOR PROTECTION SYSTEMS In the event of loss of all offsite power, sufficient alternate sources of power shall be provided to permit the required functioning of the protection systems. ANSWER The facility is supplied with normal, reserve and emergency power to provide for the required functioning of the protection systems. In the event of a reactor and turbine trip, emergency power is supplied by 2 diesel generators per unit, as described in Section 8. Any one diesel is capable of supplying the emergency power requirements for that unit. The instrumentation and controls portions of the protection systems is supplied from the 125-VDC station batteries during the diesel startup period, as described in Section 8. CRITERION 25 - DEMONSTRATION OF FUNCTIONAL OPERABILITY OF PROTECTION SYSTEMS Means shall be included for testing protection systems while the reactor is in operation to demonstrate that no failure or loss of redundancy has occurred. ANSWER Each protection channel in service at power is capable of being calibrated and tested at power to verify its operation. Details of the means used to test protection system instrumentation are included in Section 7.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-14 CRITERION 26 - PROTECTION SYSTEMS FAIL-SAFE DESIGN The protection systems shall be designed to fail into a safe state or into a state established as tolerable on a defined basis if conditions such as disconnection of the system, loss of energy (e.g., electrical power, instrument air), or adverse environments (e.g., extreme heat or cold, fire, steam, or water) are experienced. ANSWER The details of the design and failure modes of the various protection channels are found in portions of Section 7 concerned with those channels. V. REACTIVITY CONTROL CRITERION 27 - REDUNDANCY OF REACTIVITY CONTROL At least two independent reactivity control systems, preferably of different principles, shall be provided. ANSWER Two independent reactivity control systems, rod cluster control assemblies and boric acid dissolved in the reactor coolant, are employed in the facility. Details of the construction and operation of the rod cluster control system are included in Sections 3 and 7. Means of controlling the boric acid concentration are included in Section 10. CRITERION 28 - REACTIVITY HOT SHUTDOWN CAPABILITY At least two of the reactivity control systems provided shall independently be capable of making and holding the core subcritical from any hot standby or hot operating condition, including those resulting from power changes, sufficiently fast to prevent exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits. ANSWER The rod cluster control system is capable of making and holding the core subcritical from all operating and hot shutdown conditions and sufficiently fast to prevent exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits. The chemical shim control is also capable of making and holding the core subcritical, but at a slower rate, and is not employed as a means of compensating for rapid reactivity transients. The rod cluster control system is, therefore, used in protecting the core from such transients. Details of the operation and effectiveness of these systems are included in Sections 3, 7 and 10.

PRAIRIE ISLAND UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR Section 1 Revision 34 Page 1.5-15 CRITERION 29 - REACTIVITY SHUTDOWN CAPABILITY At least one of the reactivity control systems provided shall be capable of making the core subcritical under any condition (including anticipated operational transients) sufficiently fast to prevent exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits. Shutdown margins greater than the maximum worth of the most effective control rod when fully withdrawn shall be provided. ANSWER As detailed in Section 3, the reactor may be made subcritical by the rod cluster control system sufficiently fast to prevent exceeding acceptable fuel damage limits, under all anticipated conditions even with the most reactive rod control cluster fully withdrawn. CRITERION 30 - REACTIVITY HOLDDOWN CAPABILITY At least one of the reactivity control systems provided shall be capable of making and holding the core subcritical under any conditions with appropriate margins for contingencies. ANSWER The facility is provided with the means of making and holding the core subcritical under any anticipated conditions and with appropriate margin for contingencies. These means are discussed in detail in Sections 3, 7 and 10.
