1 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS BASES 4/5.2.23 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of two independent ECCS systems, the high pressure core spray (HPCS) system and the alternate core spray (ACS) system with the manual depressurization systes.(MDS), ensures that sufficient emergency core cooling capability will be available in.the' event of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) assuming the loss of one ECCS system through any, single failure consideration.

-Either system is capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all postulated break sizes ranging from the double ended break of the largest reactor coolant system cold leg' pipe downward.

}

4/5.2.23.1 HIGH PRESSURE CORE SPRAY SYSTEM The high pressure core spray (HPCS) system high pressure core spray mode is provided to assure that the reactor core is adequately cooled to limit fuel clad temperature in the event of a small break in the reactor coolant system and a loss-of-coolant which does not result.in rapid depressurization of the reactor vessel. The HPCS system high pressure core spray mode permits.the reactor to be shut down while maintaining sufficient reactor vessel water level' inventory until the vessel is depressurized. The HPCS system high pressure core spray mode continues to operate until reactor vessel pressure is below the pressure at which alternate core spray system operation maintains core cooling. The HPCS system high pressure core spray mode consists of two pumps, and associated valves and piping. The pumps each have the capacity to-deliver 50 gallons per minute to the reactor at a pressure in excess of reactor operating pressure. The system is actuated by automatically starting the pumps on a signal from either one of two reactor water level sensing channels.

A function of the HPCS system is the low pressure core spray mode which provides, by gravity feed which bypasses the HPCS pumps, water from the OHST -to the reactor vessel when the reactor is at low pressure or the reactor vessel head is removed, to provide a source for flooding of the core in case of accidental draining. The HPCS system low pressure core spray mode is actuated.on a coincidence signal from the reactor pressure and reactor water level sensing channels.

' EMERGENCY CORE"CDOLING SYSTEMS BASES 4/5.2.23.2 ' MANUAL DEPRESSURIZATION SYSTEM AND 4/5.2.23.3 ALTERNATE CORE SPRAY SYSTEM JAlong with the HPCS system, adequate core cooling is assured by the

. demonstrated OPERABILITY of the manual depressurization system (MDS) and the alternate core spray (ACS) system.

The MDS'is manually inidiated. It serves to reduce reactor pressure rapidly so that the ACS system can perform its function. 'The MDS provides the ACS

, system with the capability of performing its function in both long-term and short-term cooling modes.

The ACS system is provided to assure that the core is adequately cooled following a loss-of-coolant accident. The system is comprised of two diesel-driven pumps and associated valves'and piping. The water supply for I the ACS. system is the Mississippi River. The ACS system is capable of providing 900 gpm of cooling water to the reactor when reactor pressure drops to approximately 50 psig. . >

Two Containment Building pressure sensors and two reactor water level sensors provide the signals to actuate operation of the ACS system. A containment pressure of 5 psig will cause a sensor to generate a signal to actuate and automatically start its respective pump. A motor operated valve associated with each pump will be opened on a low reactor water level signal from either of two reactor water level sensors coincident with high Containment Building pressure. Similarly the second pump will start and the valve will open when the respective set of instruments generate the required signals. The motor ,

operator for one' valve is supplied with a-c power from an essential power. bus,. -

the motor operator for the other valve is supplied with d-c power. The ACS system is capable of remote manual start from the control room.

The surveillance. requirements provide adequate assurance that MDS will be OPERABLE when required. A complete functional test results in reactor blowdown-and therefore is only performed during shutdown.

The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that the ACS system will be OPERABLE when required. All active components are not testable and a full functional test requires reactor shutdown.

4/5.2.23.4 OVERHEAD STORAGE TANK The OPERABILITY of the Containment Building overhead storage tank (OHST) as

,part of the ECCS ensures that a sufficient supply of water is available for injection by the HPCS system in the event of a LOCA. Demineralized water for the high pressure core spray system is supplied from the 42,000-gallon overhead storage tank, located in the dome of-the Containment Building. The high pressure core spray cooling system is connected near the botte3 of the tank. The containment building spray system is connected to'a standpipe within the tank with the top of the standpipe located so that 15,000 gallons

-are; reserved for the high pressure core spray system. The demineralized water system replenishes the OHST for long term cooling. The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics.
