1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose The purposekof this report is to provide a concise summary of t &. initial startup test program conducted on the River .%:nd Nuclear Power Station. This report is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of the River Bend Technical Specification Sections 6.9.1.2 and 6.9.1.3 concerning the startup report. Included in this report are sections which cover general plant and startup test program descriptions and specific test results with comparison to expected results. 1.2 Plant Description The River Bend Nuclear Power Station, owned by Gulf States Utilities (GSU) and the Cajun Electric Power Cooperative (CEPCO) is located approximately 2 miles east of the Mississippi River and approximately 18 miles north-northwest of Baton Rouge, Louisitna. The River Bend Nuclear Power Station is a direct-cycle boiling water reactor (BWR). The Nuclear Steam Supply System and the Turbine / Generator was furnished by General 7~ Electric Company. V The balance of the unit was designed and constructed by Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation. The rated core thermal power is 2894 Mwt and the net electrical output is approximately 936 MWe. Other principal plant parameters are presented in Table 1-1. 1.3 Startup Test Program Description 1.3.1 Overview of Program The River Bend Station startup and test program was es*ablished to administratively and technically control all testing activities commencing with construction completion and ending with rated power warranty run for the River Bend Station. This test program applies to all structures, systems, and components required to conduct normal commercial operation and is in compliance with the basic intent of Regulatory Guide 1.68 (August 1978), Initial Test Program for Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants. To facilitate a systematic approach in conducting the startup and test program, the program has been divided into three major phases; preliminary test, (]) preoperational test, and initial startup test. 1-1
1.3.1.1 Preliminary Test Phase lh The preliminary test phase begins as installation and/or construction of the individual structures, systems, and components nears completion. The prime objective of this phase is to verify that construction activities associated with the respective structure, system, or , components have been completed and documented. This phase is not covered in this report. 1.3.1.2 Preoperational Test Phase The preoperational test phase normally commences after preliminary testing on individual components and systems or subsystems is completed. This phase includes the tests required to demonstrate that structures, systems, and components, perform satisfactorily in all modes of operation and that they are ready to support fuel loading and initial startup phase testing. This phase is also not covered in this report. 1.3.1.3 Initial Startup Test Phase The initial startup test phase of the test program commences with the preparation for fuel load and extends through 100 percent rated power and demonstrations. Testing performed during this phase of warranty lll the program ensures that fuel loading is accomplished in a safe manner, confirms the plant design basis, demonstrates that the plant can withstand anticipated transients and postulated accidents, and ensures that the plant can be safely brought to rated power. The initial startup phase of testing is divided into four areas: open vessel, initial heatup, power ascension, and rated power warranty run. The power ascension testing is further subdivided into six Test Conditions. These are shown on the power flow map in Figure 1-1 and defined in Table 1-2. 1.3.2 Criteria For Testing To assist in the evaluation of proper plant performance from the test results obtained, a set of criteria for each test has been developed. These criteria are a result of a combination of factors such as safety analysis assumptions, enginecting expectations and contractual commitments. Safety concerns are considered Level I while other considerations are Level 2 and Level
- 3. Definitions of these Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 criteria and required actions in the event of a violation are defined as follows:
g 1-2
() 1.3.2.1 Level 1 Criteria If a Level l' test criterion is not satisfied, the plant is placed in a hold condition that is judged to be satisfactory and safe, based upon prior testing. Plant operating or test procedures or the Technical Specifications may guide the decision on the direction taken. Startup tests consistent with this hold condition may be continued. Resolution of the problem is immediately pursued by appropriate equipment adjustments or through engineering support by offsite personnel if needed. Following resolution, the applicable test portion is repeated to verify that the Level 1 requirement is satisfied. 1.3.2.2 Level 2 Criteria If a Level 2 test criterion is not satisfied, plant operating or startup test plans are not necessarily altered. The limits stated in this category are usually associated with expectations of system transient performance, and whose characteristics can be improved by equipment adjustments. An investigation of the related adjustments, as well as the measurement and analysis methods, is initiated. O If all Level 2 requirements in a test are ultimately met, there is no need to document a temporary failure in the test report unless there is an educational benefit involved. Following resolution, the applicable test portion is repeated to verify that the Level 2 requirement is satisfied. If a certain controller-related Level 2 criterion is not satisfied after a reasonable effort, then the control engineers may choose to document that result with an explanation of their recommendation. This report discusses alternatives of action, as well as the concluding recommendation so that it can be evaluated by all related parties. 1.3.2.3 Level 3 Criteria If Level 3 performance is not satisfied, plant operating or startup test plans would not necessarily be altered. The numerical limits stated in this category are associated with expectations of individual component or inner control loop transient performance. Level 3 performance is to be viewed as highly desirable rather than required to be satisfied. If all Level 1 and Level 2 criteria are satisfied, then it is not required to (]} repeat the test to satisfy Level 3 criteria. 1-3
1.3.3 Conduct of Testing dh 1.3.3.1 Facility Review Committee commencing with initial fuel load, the Facility Review Committee (FRC) assumed the responsibility for review and recommended approval of test results. During the initial startup test phase, the FRC was augmented by the Superintendent-Startup and Test and the General Electric Operations Manager. After each power plateau (Test Condition), the FRC reviewed the test results prior to going to the next Test Condition. Based upon this review and recommendation, approval to proceed to the next Test condition was given by the Plant Manager. 1.3.3.2 Test Procedures Startup test procedure preparation, procedure and results approval, procedural changes, conduct and test exceptions were governed by the River Bend Station Startup Manual. Inputs to specific startup test procedures included the General Electric Startup Test Specification, other vendor design specifications and the River Bend Final Safety Analysis Report. 1.3.3.3 Test Exceptions There were numerous Test Exceptions (TEs) generated during the initial startup test phase. Test Exceptions are deficiencies encountered during the conduct of a test. These may be unexpected data, missing data or data outside the acceptance criteria. Procedural difficulties, and repetition or postponement of testing would also be a test exception. Test exceptions require separate review and approval by the FRC and associated engineering evaluations if necessary. 1.3.3.4 Test Data Data used in the evaluation of the individual startup tests were obtained primarily from plant instrumentation (recorders, meters), plant process computer, and the Emergency Response Information System (ERIS). All of these were used to obtain steady state data. The process computer was utilized primarily for evaluation of thermal power and thermal limits whereas the ERIS computer was employed mainly for system performance demonstrations and plant response to transients. O 1-4
( 1.3.3.4 Test Data (Cont'd) Over one thousand analog and digital plant input signals (both permanent and temporary) are fed into the ERIS computers. The system is divided into two parts - Transient Recording and Analysis (TRA) and Real Time Analysis and Display (RTAD or the safety parameter display system). Although the RTAD portion underwent extensive testing during the initial startup test phase, the TRA portion was predominantly used for acquiring startup best data. TRA has the capability to scan plant parameters up to 250 samples per second. It was also used to perform data reduction such as plotting plant parameters as a function of time, statistical analysis, and scram time analysis. i t O 1-5

SUMMARY
OF INITIAL STARTUP TEST PHASE 2.1 Chronology of Startup Testing ' Facility Operating License No. NPF-40 was granted for the River Bend Station on August 29, 1985. As of this date, the unit was restricted to five percent of rated power. Fuel load commenced on August 31, 1985 and was completed 22 days later. Initial criticality was achieved on October 31, 1985. On November 20, 1985 Facility Operating License No. NPF-47 was issued allowing the unit to operate to rated thermal power. River Bend Nuclear Power Station reached rated thermal power for the first time on May 11, 1986. On June 16, 1986 the unit was declared to be in Commercial Operation by Gulf States Utilities. A more detailed chronology of the initial startup test phase is presented in Table 2-1. In addition to the startup tests as described in FSAR Section 14.2.12.3 and recommended in Regulatory Guide 5O 1.68, Operating License NPF-47 imposed two additional requirements to be accomplished prior to completion of the initial test program. These involved station electrical distribution voltage testing and evaluations / modifications on battery powered lighting systems. These items have been acccmplished and found acceptable as documented in NRC Inspection Report 86-20. 2.2 Histogram of Power Ascension 2.2.1 Plant Scrams During power ascension testing through the completion of Test Condition 6 testing on June 9, 1986, there were 22 plant scrams. Five as these scrams were planned as a part of specific startup tests. These scrams are listed in Table 2-2. 2.2.2 Plant Outages From the end of the fuel load on September 22, 1985 through the completion of initial startup testing, the station was shutdown on several occasions. A brief description of the major outages follows. Figures 2-1 , are power histograms for the initial startup test phase. 2-1 I
2.2.2 Plant Outages (Cont'd) The break in startup testing from the end of fuel load until initial criticality was due exclusively to the baselining of Mode 2 ,( STARTUP) Surveillance Test Procedures. The first major outage began on December 7, 1985 and lasted for nine days. The outage was taken to complete the baseline data for the Mode 1 (RUN) Surveillance Test Procedures. This task was completed in seven days. However, startup was further delayed due to a problem on RWCU differential flow instrumentation. On January 5, 1986 during a startup after a scram, the limitorque operator came apart from the feedwater Mov 7B. All flow was diverted to the "A" FW line, restricting power to less than five percent. However, a scram on January 7, forced a shutdown to repair FW MOV 7B and perform inspections and retorquing of 24 similar valves. The plant was started up again on January 13, 1986. A commitment to verify the torque on the actuator bolts to 253 safety-related valves was the initial critical path item for a planned outage beginning on February 15, khh 1986. Retorquing verification was completed on February
- 22. However, three more items (repair of main steam valve B21-F098C, replacement of a radiation monitor, and repair of containment airlock seals) caused startup to be delayed until February 27.
The outage of longest duration commenced on March 20, 1986 and ended on April 13, 1986. The critical path items during this outage were modifications to the main condenser and ATWS trip logic on the recirculation pumps. Several main condenser tube leaks were experienced during previous operation due to warping of the tube sheets. Also during previous operation, several recirculation pump trips occurred on inadvertent ATWS signals. The logic was modified to minimize this from taking place. 2.3 Simplification / Elimination of Startup Tests Various changes were made to the initial test program described in the FSAR Section 14.2.12.3. Most of these changes came onder the heading of the Startup Test Simplification / Elimination program. Since this program was not in place prior to receipt of an operating license, the changes were made in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR50.59 persuant to Section 2.C(12) of lll NPF-47. 2-2 '
2.3 Simplification / Elimination of Startup Tests (Cont'd) Most of the test simplifications or eliminations were a result of the General Electric Company's evaluation from extensive amount of data and experience for startup testing conducted at other stations, particularly BWR 6 plants. Most of these changes are briefly described in Table 2-3. The changes listed in Table 2-3 are estimated to have saved 24 1/2 days of testing from the initial schedule. Both the General Electric Company and Gulf States Utilities found no unreviewed safety issues in the implementation of these changes. Furthermore, none of the simplifications or eliminations affected the testing set forth in Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2. However, some of the testing which was eliminated was added back at the end of the test program. The basis for this was that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had initial concerns with the elimination of these tests for a similar simplification program (Hope Creek). These tests were as follows: O l-ST-30B: Recirculation two pump trip in the Test Condition 3 window Test Condition 4: Natural Circulation testing consisting of 1-ST-19, 1-ST-22 and 1-ST-23A 1-ST-25B: MSIV full closure at 100% power. This test was performed earlier at 62% power and the results extrapolated to 100% power. 2.4 Sequence of Testing Table 2-4 contains a breakdown of the individual startup i tests conducted at each Test Condition. It is a result of the initial scope of the test program plus changes made per the Startup Test Simplification / Elimination program as well as other minor rearrangements of the testing. Further details are presented in the individual startup test summaries of Section 3. Testing listed in Table 2-4 and Section 3 which is not mentioned l in FSAR Sect 2on 14.2.12.3 came about from additional requirements in Regulatory Guide 1.68. [ t 2-3

O O O TABLE 2-3 RIVER BEND STARTUP TEST SIMPLIFICATION / ELIMINATION l TEST NO. DESCRIPTION I l i 5 1. Reduce Rated Pressure Control Rod Drive friction testing from 50% to less than or equal to four. All~ rods undergo friction testing at zero pressure. Only a minimum number of rods (4) need to undergo a retest at rated pressure to check i on the effects of thermal expansion in the core. This is due to the data base of other BWR 6 plants showing no problems in this area. Also, all rods will be scram-timed at rated pressure.
- 2. Scram Timing at Rated Pressure: Rather than being required to conduct this upon reaching rated pressure initially, it could be postponed as long as all
! rods are scram-timed prior to 40% power as required by Technical Specifications.
; 3. Postpone or eliminate gang rod testing: The gang rod feature was removed by a design modification. Therefore, no gang rod testing was necessary.
l 13 Deleted OD-ll testing since River Bend has barrier fuel which does not fall under the PCIOMR guidelines. Portions of OD-ll were later added back into 1-ST-13 and tested. 18 Deleted TIP Uncertainty. TIP hardware was tested during the preoperational phase. Software testing was done in conjunction with 1-ST-13. Actual measurement of TIP uncertainty is not necessary based on the abundance of data from previous startup testing. 21 Deleted Core Power / Void Mode Response Testing: Measurement of local flux oscillations during control rod movement and pressure changes was deleted. This is due to General Electric's extensive testing and analysis of core thermal hydraulic stability. Overall flux changes to control rod movement and pressure changes are observed during power ascension. 2-8
O O O TABLE 2-3 (Cont'd) RIVER BEND STARTUP T%T SIMPLIFICATION / ELIMINATION TEST NO. DESCRIPTION 22 Simplified the pressure regulator testing by eliminating testing in the auto-matic load following mode (See Test No. 29) and some of the pressure regulator failover tests. 23A Scme of the Level 2 response time criteria was slightly expanded based upon previous startup testing. 25A The requirement to do MSIV Stroke testing at every Test Condition was changed to do it only at Test Condition Heatup and Test Condition 2 per Regulatory Guide 1.68. The frequency of MSIV stroke time testing is further dictated by Technical Specifications. 26 Initial requirement to cycle the SRV's twice (at 250 psig and 50% power) was changed to once at 950 psig. Low pressure testing is no longer advised due to the possibility of seat damage. SRV actuations at power can be observed during planned transients. 27 Deleted the Turbine Trip test at Test Condition 3 (75%) : This is not a Regulatory Guide 1.68 test. General Electric had originally required this to obtain more data for transient predictions. However, based of qualification of predictions from numerous previous testing, this test is no longer necessary. Also, the load rejection test at 100% will provide additional checks on the predictions. 29 Simplified the recirculation flow control testing. Deleted the automatic load following feature (removed from system per modification). Also, deleted the requirement to do any step changes less than 5% and relaxed some time response criteria. This is based on previous startup testing. 2-9

- NO. DESCRIPTION 30A Deleted recirculation one pump trip testing. This is not needed from a safety standpoint.
30B Deleted recirculation two pumps trip test. This is also not needed from a safety standpoint. Furthermore, River Bend is not permitted to operate in the natural circulation mode. This test, however, was added back at the 1 end of the test program. l l 30D Deleted the recirculation runback test as a separate test. During the
; feedwater pump trip test 1-ST-23C a recirculation flow control valve run-

SUMMARY
OF TEST RESULTS The individual startup tests which were performed during the initia2 startup test phs c are described in this section. Each test is presented in a separate subsection. The subsections are further broken down into a Description and a Discussion. The Description consists of the pur-pose of the test and the acceptance criteria associated with the test. The Discussion briefly describes the results in comparison with the acceptance criteria and gives a listing of all of the test exceptions which were written while conducting the test. l As mentioned in Section 1.3.3.3, test exceptions do not necessarily constitute a failure to satisfy acceptance criteria. Most of the status of the test exceptions are given as of July 15, 1986. As of this date, there are a number of test exceptions which are not resolved (open). Some of these do involve a failure to satisfy acceptance criteria. However, none of the open test exceptions pertain to Level 1 Criteria failures which is a safety concern. () Resolution of the open test exceptions is ongoing. A supplement to Section 3 of this report is planned to cover these resolutions. O 31
O V CHliDEICAL & RADIOCHEMICAL l-ST-1 3.1 1-ST-1 CHEMICAL AND RADIOCHEMICAL 3.1.1 Description The principal objectives of this test are as follows: 0 To secure information on the chemistry and radiochemistry of the reactor system. O To determine that the sampling equipment, procedures and analytic techniques are adequate to supply the data required to demonstrate that the chemistry of all parts of the entire reactor system meet specifications and process requirements. O To use the data obtained to evaluate fuel s' performance, demineralizer operation, filter performance, condenser integrity, steam separator dryer operation and operation of the off-gas system. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.1.1.1 and 3.1.1.2. 3.1.1.1 Level 1 Criteria
- 1. Chemical factors defined in the Technical Specifications and Fuel Warranty must be maintained within the applicable limits specified.
- 2. The activity of gaseous and liquid effluents must conform to all license limitations.
- 3. Reactor Coolant water quality is within the limits specified by Technical Specifications and the Water Quality Specifications.
3.1.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. The off-gas prefilter and after-filter assemblies shall comply with the off gas design specification.
(]) 2. The ratio of off-gas Pre-treatment Post-treatment radiation shall be at least 100 to to 1. 3-2
CHEMICAL AND RADIOCHEMICAL 1-ST-1 3.1.2 Discussion Water Chemistry data was taken during Test Conditions open vessel, Heatup, 1,3 and 6. Table 3.1-1 summarizes the significant parameters associated with Reactor Water Chemistry and Radiochemistry. The major deficiency was in the final feedwater metals and oxygen concentrations. These discrepancies were addressed by Test Exceptions
- 9,10 & 17 and have been evaluated and acccepted by General Electric Chemistry.
The Gaseous Chemistry subtest was used to gather chemistry data in order '- determine / calculate the off-gas activity patter., off-gas pre /after filter efficiencies, and off-gas charcoal bed residence times and activity ratio. Table 3.1-2 gives the Test Condition 6 data for 100% power. During TC-6 testing, the off-gas pre-filters failed the level 2 filter efficiency criteria (TE-13), and there was insufficient 3 W off-gas activity to establish Pre and Post treatment monitor response versus release rate tends. TE's 13 and
- 16 are open pending retest at a higher off gas activity
- level.
Condensate Demineralizer performance data was accumulated and the trend in results plotted during the power ascension test program. The results show that the total available resin bed capacity was maintained above the recommended 50%. During Test Condition 6, the Reactor Water No-Cleanup test was performed in order to determine the RWCU i operating characteristics and moisture carryover in the l steam. Table 3.1-3 summarizes the pertinent test
-results. The test was initiated by isolating the RWCU system and then injecting sodium hydroxide upstream of the feedwater pumps. The reactor water conductivity was allowed to exceed 1ps/cm at which time the RWCU system was placed back into service. Conductivity exceeded 1p /cm for a total of three hours. Test Exception 14 l was written against this test because there was no detectable Na-24 carryover to the hot well. The test was repeated with larger sample volumes taken, and the results were acceptable. A summary of the test exceptions follows along with the status as of 15-Jul-86.

TE-03 documents four survey points which could not be taken during Test Condition 3. This TE is acceptable "as is" based on other adjacent survey readings. There were no test exceptions in TC-6. During each of the above conditions, radiation surveys were conducted to verify posting requirements. All survey results were satisfactory, and radiation levels were less than the limit of the allowable radiation levels. All test criteria were met. For background information, radiation surveys were also taken during a RWCU resin transfer late in the test program.

l FUEL LOADING l l-ST-3 3.3 1-ST-3 FUEL LJADING 3.3.1 Description
- The major objective of this test is to load fuel safely and efficiently to the full core size.
The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.3.1.1 and 3.3.1.2. 3.3.1.1 Level 1 Criteria The partially loaded core must be subcritical by at least 0.38% K/K with the analytically determined strongest rod fully withdrawn. f-) 3.3.1.2 Level 2 Criteria V Not Applicable 3.3.2 Discussion On August 31, 1985, fuel loading commenced with the loading of four fuel assemblies around the central neutron source at location 26-31; then continued cell by cell sequentially so that increasing square blocks were built up in a clockwise direction. Upon completion of loading 144 bundles, a partial shutdown margin demonstration was performed by withdrawing the following Group 3, Sequence A, control rods: 16-37, 16-21, 24-29 and 32-29. After waiting for 5 minutes, subcriticality was verified and the core reactivity (keff) was calculated, after temperature compensation, to be 0.97283. Thus, by verifying that this measured keff exceeded the minimum required value of .97159 (strongest rod out plus 0.0038), it was determined that the Level 1 criteria for this test was met and that it was safe to continue fuel loading to the full core configuration. To ensure continued suberiticality during fuel loading, a plot of the relative inverse count rate (1/M) with all rods in as a function of the number of fuel bundles () loaded was maintained. As an additional check on subcriticaility for the next fuel cell to be loaded, the control rod was withdrawn in the just-loaded cell. 3-13
FUEL LOADING h 1-ST-3 Upon completion of fuel loading, on September 21, 1986 proper bundle location, orientation and seating was visually verified and recorded on video tape as a part of the plant historical record. The following exceptions were written to 1-ST-3 and closed out prior to test approval: TE DESCRIPTION STATUS l 1 Discrepancy in 1/M plots Closed 2 Failure to document Closed g response check.

l SHUTDOWN MARGIN 1-sT-4 3.4 1-ST-4 SHUTDOWN MARGIN 3.4.1 Description The major objective of this test is to demonstrate that the reactor is subcritical throughout the first fuel cycle with any single control rod fully withdrawn. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.4.1.1 and 3.4.1.2. 3.4.1.1 Level 1 Criteria The Shutdown Margin of the fully loaded, cold (68 degrees F.) Xenon-free core occurring at the most reactive time during the cycle must be at least 0.38% [iK/K with the analytically strongest rod (or its reactivity equivalent) fully withdrawn. If the shutdown O- margin is measured at some time during the cycle other than the most reactive time, compliance with the above criteria is shown by demonstrating that the shutdown margin is
>0.38% fK/K plus an exposure-dependent increment "R"~which adjusts the shutdown margin at that time to the minimum shutdown margin.
3.4.1.2 Level 2 Criteria Criticality should occur within + 1.0% dK/K of the predicted critical. 3.4.2 Discussion The full core shutdown margin was calculated from data taken during the initial criticality on October 31, 1985. The reactor went critical on sequence step 27, Group 3, Gang 2, Rod 44-33, Notch 12 with a period of 151 seconds and a moderator temperature of 102 degrees F. After correcting for the actual vs. predicted rod worth, temperature and period, the shutdown margin was calculated to be 2.593% 8K/K. O 3_15
SHUTDOWN MARGIN @ 1-ST-4 1 3.4.2 Discussion (Cont ' d) , 1 This meets the Level 1 criteria which requires the shutdown margin to be 2y 0.38% K/K. The percentage difference between the actual and predicted rod worth ( /hK/K) was also calculated at criticality. This calculated difference value was -0.49790%dK/K which meets the Level 2 criteria requiring the difference to be within + 1.0% dK/K. No test exceptions were written against thIs test. O O 3 16

3.5.2 Discussion All 145 control rods were tested for normal insert and withdrawal times, coupling checks and position indication during Test Condition Open Vessel. The testing was performed after all four fuel bundles were placed around the control rod to be tested to insure that no binding between control rod and fuel bundle existed as would be evidenced by abnormal insert and withdrawal times. All 145 control rods were also friction tested during test condition open vessel. The testing was performed after all four fuel bundles were placed around the lll control rod to be tested to further insure that no binding between control rod and fuel bundle existed as would be evidenced by excessive differential pressure across the insert and withdraw sides of the Hydraulic Control Units (HCUs) . The testing was performed by installing a differential pressure (dP) cell across the insert and withdraw sides of the control rods HCU. The dP cell was powered by an external voltage source with the output being sent to the ERIS computer. All control rods satisfactorily passed the continuous insert friction testing criteria therefore no settling friction l tests were required to be performed. l l All 145 control rods were individually scram time tested during test condition open vessel. 140 of the 145 control rods had acceptable scram times of less than 1.0 seconds and greater than or equal to 0.71 seconds. O 3 20
r CONTROL ROD DRIVE SYSTEM l-ST-5 3.5.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Three test exceptions were generated for the remaining 5 control rods. TE-1 resulted from scram times not being obtained for rods 04-25 and 16-09 due to equipment failure. TE-2 resulted from rods 20-29 and 24-17 railing the Level 2 criteria by being 0.01 seconds too fast. TE-3 resulted from rods 28-05, 24-17 and 20-29 falling outside the Reg Guide 1.68 requirement that all rods must fall within two standard deviations of the average scram times of all rods. TE-1 was resolved when equipment problems were resolved. TE-2 was accepted with no retest required per General Electric engineering. TE-3 was resolved by scram timing each of the required rods 2 additional times as recommended by Reg Guide 1.68. During test condition heatup it was demonstrated that O CRD system flow could be maintained at 45 gpm +/-0 gpm within the limits of the Level 3 criteria of 45 +/-3 gpm utilizing flow control valve Cll-F002B. Flow control valve Cll-F002A was failed therefore it was not possible to obtain data for this valve. Due to Cll-F002A being failed it was also impossible to perform the flow controller, Cll-R600, tuneup verification using this valve. TE-4 resulted from Cll-F002A being failed and was resolved during a subsequent power ascension after the affected equipment was repaired. Retesting of TE-4 showed excessive limit cycles existed with Cll-F002A, however, and TE-7 was written to troubleshoot and repair the problem. TE-7 was resolved and retest was performed following repair of Cll-F002A. TE-6 resulted when data obtained for flow controller, Cll-R600, tuneup verification using flow control valve Cll-F002B was not complete. TE-6 was resolved by retesting and no problems were found. The following is a summary of Test Exceptions generated for 1-ST-5. O 3-21

O To show IRM instrumentation to have sufficient overlap with SRM instrumentation. 1 The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.6.1.1 and 3.6.1.2. 3.6.1.1 Level 1 Criteria
- 1. There must be a neutron signal count to noise count ratio of at least 2:1 on the required operable SRMs.
- 2. There must be a minimum count rate of 0.7 counts
() per second (cps) on the required operable SRMs.
- 3. Each IRM channel must be on scale before the SRMs exceed their rod block setpoint.
3.6.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. Each IRM channel must be adjusted so that a half decade overlap with the SRMs is assured.
3.6.2 Discussion Prior to the Initial Criticality being performed, the SRMs were tested for adequate signal to noise ratio (S/N Jt2) and minimum number of counts (at0 .7 cps). All of the SRMs tested satisfactorily with the following results: SRM FULLY FULLY CHANNEL WITHDRAWN INSERTED S/N CPS A <.1 2.7 27 2.7 B <L 1 2.5 25 2.5 C <01 2.5 25 2.5 D <T.1 3.0 30 3.0 3-24

Also the SRM scram ang rod block setgoints were set down one decade to 2 X 10 cps and 1 X 10 cps respectively. After the SRMs were verified operable, the mode switch was taken to "Startup" and the approach to criticality was initiated. As control rods were withdrawn, SRM and IRM data was obtained for plotting 1/M graphs. The SRMs provided sufficient information for a safe and efficient reactor startup at low neutron flux levels. Upon criticality, the SRM/IRM overlap of one-half decade was verified for all IRMs, except IRM 'A', which did not show any response to increasing flux. After adequate overlap was verified, the SRM non-coincident scram shorting links were installed. Following installation of the shorting links, each SRM was verified not to saturate until it registered greater than 150% of the normal scram setpoint cps) (2X10 without experiencing detector saturation. After this verification the SRM scram and rodblock setpoints were lll returned to their nominal value. The following is a list of the test exceptions for 1-ST-6 TE DESCRIPTION STATUS TE-1 IRM 'G' was inoperable prior Closed to verifying overlap. This was due to the Surveillance Test procedure being overdue. This surveillance was later performed and this TE was closed TE-2 IRM 'A' could not be verified Closed to meet overlap criteria as it did not come on scale. This was corrected TE-3 IRM 'B' initially increased Closed

3.7.1.2 Level 2 Criteria (]) Each IRM channel must be adjusted so that one decade overlap with the APRM's is assured. 3.7.2 Discussion Surveillance Test Procedures 504-4501 through 504-4508 were utilized to perform trip tests on each IRM channel to verify that each produced a scram signal at <; 120/125 divisions of full scale. IRMs were adjusted so that ranges 6 and 7 correlated exactly even though the standard correlation was to be within 10%. One decade of IRM-APRM overlap was verified by the APRMs responding prior to the IRMs exceeding Range 8. The IRMs were also l shown not to exceed their rod block setpoint of 108/125 on Range 10 prior to the APRMs being on scale. Test Exceptions 1 through 4 were generated to justify and/or reverify the IRM-APRM overlap since the APRM readings were adjusted several times during the IRM-APRM overlap verification per 1-ST-12.

'u) 3.8.1.2 Level 2 Criteria Each LPRM reading shall be within 10% of its calculated value. 3.8.2 Discussion LPRM functional testing was performed by making localized power changes in the vicinity of an LPRM by movement of a control rod in the vicinity of an LPRM chamber. The D (top), C, B, and A (bottom) detectors within a string are expected to respond to control rod movement between notch positions 0 and 12, 12 and 24, 24 and 36, and 36 and 48 respectively. Testing was performed between 15 and 30 percent core thermal power (CTP) at a time when all operable LPRM's were on scale during the time period 26-DEC-85 to 29-JAN-86. 130 of 132 LPRM chambers satisfactorily responded during the functional testing. The B and C detector in LPRM string 46-23 responded in a manner that indicated their connections were reversed. Test Exception I was written to report this and investigation showed that 'the connection were reversed. This'was corrected and the Test Exception was closed out after retest indicated that the LPRM string responded normally to the insertion ('~} of control rod 48-21 from notch position 48 to 0. 3-28
LPRM CALIBRATION 1-ST-ll 3.8.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Initial LPRM calibration began on 26-Dec-86 with CTP just below 20%. Test Exception 2 was written to allow the calibration to be performed even though the final Traversing Incore Probe (TIP) core top and bottom limits had not been set utilizing the LPRM/ spacer dips as required by the initial conditions. This was done since it was not possible to determine spacer /LPRM dips at this power level. Several iterations were required to complete the calibration of the LPRM's. These recalibrations are documented in Test Exceptions 4, 5 and 6, all of which were cleared upon closing TE-6. Test Exception 7 was the result of two failed LPRM's, SB-14-07 and 1D-22-47, which could not be calibrated and were deferred until the LPRM calibration at Test Condition 6. The LPRM calibration was initially done by using the BUCLE (Backup Core Limits Evaluation) code. g When the process computer program P1 was validated per W 1-ST-13, LPRM calibration was accomplished with the process computer. This was done for Text Exception 6 and the Test Condition 6 calibration. Final LPRM calibration at Test Condition 6 was begun on 22-May-86 with CTP of 96%. Calibration of the LPRM's at Test Condition 6 resulted in 2 LPRM's, IB-30-47 and 2B-22-39, having Gain Adjustment Factors (GAF) greater than the 10% allowed by the criteria. Test Exception 9 was written to document and recalibrate these two LPRM's. Test Exception 9 was cleared upon successful recalibration of the two LPRM's. Test Exception 8 was the result of two failed LPRM's, 6B-38-15 and 2D-38-47, which could not be calibrated and was deferred until the LPRM's were repaired. Test Exception 7, from the initial LPRM calibration was cleared with the successful calibration of LPRM's 5B-14-07 and 1D-22-47 LPRM calibrations will continue to be done periodically using the applicable plant procedures.

- 1. The APRM channels must be calibrated to read equal to or greater than the actual core thermal power.
- 2. Technical specification and fuel warranty limits on APRM scram and rod block shall not be exceeded.
O (_/ 3. In the startup mode, all APRM channels must produce a scram at less than or equal to 15% of rated thermal power. 3.9.1.2 Level 2 Criteria '
- 1. If the above criteria are satisfied, then the APRM channels will be considered to be reading accurately if they agree with the heat balance or the minimum value required based on peaking factor, CMFLPD, and fraction of rated power to within
(+7,-0)% of rated power. 3.9.2 Discussion During the initial heatup, and APRM calibration was done using a constant heatup rate heat balance at approximately 1% core thermal power. When adequate feedwater flow indication was available, more accurate calibrations were performed using an overall reactor heat balance. Calibrations are performed at each major test condition. During heatup, core thermal power was calculated to be .51%. The APRMs were adjusted to read 3-31
APRM CALIBRATION 1-ST-12 3.9.2 Discussion (Cont'd) 120% of this value, thus meeting the Level 2 criteria. All APRMs produced a scram indication at less than or equal to 15%, and no APRM exceeded its rodblock setpoint upon adjustment of its gain. There were nine test exceptions at this test condition which have all been resolved. They are listed at the end of this section. For test conditions, 1,2,3,5, and 6 a surveillance test procedure, STP-050-3001 Power Distribution Limits Verification, was used to determine the desired APRM readings and the upscale thermal alarm setpoints for each of these plant conditions. The desired reading is calculated by dividing the initial percent of rated thermal power by the ratio (T) which is the Fraction of Rated Thermal Power (FRTP) over the Core Maximum Fraction of the Limiting Power Density (CMFLPD). This is used to take into consideration core peaking and therefore only applied if T is less than 1.0. Once the . desired readings are determined, the APRMs are adjusted to indicate greater than or equal to the desired APRM reading. Table 3.9-1 lists the desired APRM readings and the as-left readings for each APRM at each test condition. I 3-32

The method was revised to account for estimated changes in thermal power from the time of the constant heatup rate calcula-tion. Retest was conducted using the new method, 3 Error found in the calculation of the closed average reading used to get the desired APRM reading resulting in non-conservative as left APRM readings.

I i l APRM CALIBRATION h 1-ST-12 TE DESCRIPTION STATUS 5 Attempted to increase operating Closed margin due to the APRM gains being too conservative by utilizing feedwater flow. This optional section was started, but not completed due to the unavailability of an accurate dP gauge to measure feedwater flow. Accepted as is since this section is optional. 6 The as-left APRM settings met all Closed acceptance criteria, but proved to be too limiting at high reactor pressures (lt600 psig). Reperformed portions of the calibration during a subsequent heat-up. 7 Due to inaccuracies in feedwater in- Closed G dication the attempt at this optional method to show the APRMs are conserva-tive was not successful. Reperformed constant heatup rate heat balance and adjusted the APRM gains to agree with the results of this heat balance per-formed at a higher reactor pressure. 8 APRM g-f.ns were increased to add 20% Closed more conservatism to the adjustments made in TE-07. 9 Error found in the calculation of closed thermal power performed under TE-06 resulting in as-left readings less than thermal power.

3.10.2 Discussion
- 1. Test Condition Open Vessel At Test Condition Open Vessel the Static System Test Case (SSTC) was performed using simulated static data overlayed onto the system software to perform a preliminary verification of OD-1 (Whole Core LPRM Calibration and Base Distribution). The test verified the following:
- 1. The process computer recognizes OD-1 related g errors. W
- 2. OD-1 outputs the appropriate errors, warnings, messages and edits to simulated and real input data.
- 3. The process computer and Traversing Incore Probe (TIP) machine interface is functional.
- 4. A complete OD-1 can be successfully performed by obtaining successful traverses of all required TIP channels.
TE-01 resulted from the inability to obtain a successful traverse from TIP Machine C Channel 9 due to hardware problems. TE-02 was the result of the failure to obtain an expected error message when a particular error was generated. After the completion of testing new software was installed in the process computer and hardware was changed in the TIP machines. TE-03 was generated to retest applicable portions of the SSTC that might be affected by the changes. TE-01 was resolved in conjunction with TE-03 after the hardware problems were , resolved. TE-02 was resolved when it was determined that the software revision O 3-37

1-ST-13 4 3.10.2 Discussion (Cont'd)
- 1. Test Condition Open Vessel (Cont ' d) delivered to River Bend would not generate the originally expected error message.
- 2. Test Condition One During Test Condition One, at rated reactor pressure and temperature, the TIP System core top and bottom limits were reset. This was accomplished by manually cranking the TIPS individually into each of their respective channels to determine actual top of the TIP chamber and calculating the new limits. The core limits are reset after the reactor is at operating temperature to account for system expansion to prevent inserting the TIP probes into the top of the TIP chamber and damaging it. A two inch margin is allowed between the actual top of the TIP chamber and the programmed top. The bottom limit is then programmed such that the TIP machine will send the proper number of pulses
() to the process computer to obtain a successful traverse edit. These newly calculated limits are then verified / reset based upon performing actual traverses and observing dips in the TIP traces resulting from spacers and LPRM chamber at known elevations within the core. This verification was not able to be performed at Test condition One since the power level was too low. TE-04 was generated to perform this portion at a power level sufficiently high to distinguish the dips in the traverse caused by the spacers and LPRM chambers. In the processing of retesting TE-04 it was found that even near 100% power some spacer dips were still not distinguishable. TE-13 was written to note this discrepancy and resolved with no retest requirements. TE-04, however, remains open.
- 3. Dynamic Systems Test Case Beginning at a core thermal power level of approximately 20%, the Dynamic System Test Case (DSTC) was performed to verify the NSS programs were functional. The testing included:
- 1. Verification of the Computer Outage Recovery Monitor (CORM) to initial'ize necessary variables and exposure arrays as part of initial plant 3-38
PROCESS COMPUTER l-ST-13 3.10.2 Discussion (Cont'd) computer startup and to allow for controlled set of data in further system testing.
- 2. Verify all required plant sensors for NSS programs are being properly scanned.
- 3. Verification of the heat balance subroutine used by OD-3 and P1 by comparing it with a manually calculated heat balance.
- 4. Performing an LPRM calibration to verify the operation of OD-1 prior to the verification of thermal limit calculations.
- 5. Verification of thermal limits calculations and core power distribution.
ggg
- 6. Verification of the exposure updating programs P4 (10 Minute Core Energy Increment), P1 (Periodic Core Evaluation), P2 (Daily Core Performance Summary) and P3 (Monthly Core Performance Summary).
- 7. Verifying key variable memory locations and performing manual calculations to verify the remaining NSS software at steady state operation and symmetric rod pattern.
Thermal limit and LPRM calibration factor calculations were verified in conjunction with the DSTC. The verification was performed by taking the same data that is input to the P1 program, for its calculation, and inputting it into an approved offline computer program (Backup Core Limits Evaluation (BUCLE), which also performs the P1 calculations. The resulting thermal limits and LPRM calibration factors were verified against the criteria. In all instances the results were in the same fuel assembly and the results are as follows: O 3-39

- 5. OD-11 After originally being deleted from the test program, because River Bend was using barrier fuel, some portions OD-11 were added and tested. None of these programs are required for plant operation but reactor engineering requested that programs involving envelope updating and pin powers be tested. The programs are useful for core management at high power. No dynamic testing involving control rod movement and automatic initiation of P1 was performed. OD-11 testing was not performed for alarms, automatic initiation or ramping. These portions should not be considered available for use.

- 6. Remaining NSS Programs The verification of the remaining NSS programs was performed at various power and flow conditions starting in Test Condition 1 and extending through Test Condition 6.
Several test exceptions were generated during the testing. These are documented in the following. TE-05 was due to the TIP plotter being out of adjustment and therefore impossible to verify the OD-1 edits against a set of TIP traces during the testing sequence. After the TIP plotter was calibrated this exception was resolved by obtaining a set of TIP traces in conjunction with an OD-1 and verifying the OD-1 output edits. During verification of P4 (feedwater temperature compensation), it was found that P4 was not functioning properly and this was documented by TE-07. Several data base values were found to be in error and were modified. The applicable steps were retested and the exception resolved. g During the testing of P1 it was not possible to verify the validity of P1 edits and the as yet untested P2 and P3 due to reveral P1's being demanded outside the test. TE-08 was written to resolve this by reinitializing the system and exposure arrays, and resuming the system testing. TE-08 was completed and closed. An apparent discrepancy in the output of the failed sensor edits of OD-3 and OD-10 Option 40 was recorded in TE-09. Closer examination revealed this not to be an actual problem but merely the different manner in which the two outputs were generated. O 3_41
PROCES3 COMPUTE 2 1-ST-13 3.10.2 Discussion (con't) A change in the allocation of TIP channels was found not to be incorporated into the software during testing. TE-10 was written and the proposed disposition to resolve this error was to reperform the thermal limits verification. The retest was satisfactorily performed and the TE was closed. The drive flow (WDC), and core flow (WTC) relationship used by OD-3 to verify the measured value of core flow could not be completed, by the end of Test Condition 6, due to the recirc system calibration performed by 1-ST-35 not being corapleted. TE-11 was written to document this. This TE was resolved upon satisfactory completion of 1-ST-35. All of the test exceptions for 1-ST-13 are listed below i along with the status as of 15-July-86.

3.11.2 Discussion RCIC testing was accomplished in three phases. First, the system was verified to operate properly while injecting into the condensate storage tank in its test mode of operation. Second the system was verified to meet its design objective of injecting rated flow into the vessel within 30 seconds of initiation. Third, the system was operated to the CST in its test mode after the final tuning was completed in order to establish surveillance baseline data. A complete sequence of testing is outlined in Table 3.11-1. The results of the RCIC testing are summarized in Table 3.11-2 for the 6 quick starts conducted. The final hcIC control settings are summarized in Table 3.11-3. At 150 psig a manual start of the RCIC system was performed in CST to CST mode. The system satisfied the necessary criteria of not tripping the RCIC turbine and the gland seal system satisfactorily prevented steam leakage. Three (3) minor test exceptions were generated. TE-1 was written since the RCIC controller, 1E51-R600, settings were not available at the time of the test. These were added before any setting changes were made to the controller. TE-2 and TE-3 involved minor problems with ERIS signals for'the governor valve and the turbine trip signals. O 3-45
RCIC SYSTEM l-ST-14 3.11.2 Discussion (Cont'd) At 920 psig RCIC was manually initiated in CST to CST mode. Significant problems were encountered with the RHR/RCIC steam flow transmitter 1E31-N084A. This transmitter saw pressure spikes during system initiation and step changes causing the system to isolate. Also, the transmitter drifted negative as RCIC was operated over a period of time. This resulted in TE-4 being written to reperform portions of the test after the lE31-N084A transmitter trip setpoints were lowered,due , to the negative drift observed. The transmitter damping was also adjusted. TE-4 was completed resulting in the generation of TE-5, TE-6, TE-7, TE-15, and TE-18. TE-5 was written because turbine speed limitations would only allow a 30 gpm and l not a 60 gpm increase in flow. TE-6 was written when the pressure setpoint was restored to 950 psig and not ({} 920 psig as per the procedure. TE-7 was written since } the ERIS turbine trip data was not available to verify that the RCIC turbine did not trip. TE-15 was written ! since the EGM output failed the Level 2 criteria ! concerning decay ratio. The disposition was to accept the current data since tuning would be performed when injecting to the vessel and since no other RCIC variables exceed the criteria. TE-18 was written since RCIC steam flow isolation data failed to be recorded on the ERIS tape. This data was taken during a subsequent running of RCIC. l TE-8 through TE-14 were written to defer certain testing to a later test condition. At 920 psig RCIC was manually initiated and tuned to the vessel. All decay ratios were less than .25 except for the EGM output which had a decay ratio of .44. TE-19 was written against this and evaluated as acceptable by i General Electric Engineering. After tuning a Quick Start was performed. The time to rated flow was 15 seconds. All Level 1 criteria were satisfied. TE-17
- was written because RCIC Steam line dP data for l 1E31-N083A was not taken. TE-16 was written since the l position of the turbine trip throttle valve was not recorded, t

RCIC SYSTEM 1-ST-14 3.11.2 Discussion (Cont'd) On 6-Dec-85 the RCIC ist Cold Quick Start - Injection into Reactor Vessel, was performed. 600 gpm flow (rated) was achieved in 22.6 seconds and all Level 1 and Level 2 criteria were satisfied. TE-20 was written against this section to document changing the ramp rate setting for the quick start from 12 seconds to 18 seconds. RCIC Vessel Injection and tuning at 150 psig, was not completed due to a concern over the RCIC flow dropping below 600 gpm one minute after the initiation of a quick start. TE-21 was written to document this concern and a retest was conducted after it was determined that Level I criteria was not affected by the momentary dip in RCIC flow. On the two subsequent quick starts, 600 gpm flow was achieved in 8 seconds and 9 seconds, respectively. All of the tuning steps were satisfactory, with the only lll criteria failure being that the EGM controller output failed to meet the Level 2 criteria of exhibiting a quarter-damped decay ratio. Exception TE-24 was written on the EGM Level 2 failure. The 2nd Cold Quick Start to the vessel, was performed on 21-Dec-85 with a time to rated flow of 23 seconds. All criteria were satisfied. RCIC Operating from the Remote Shutdown Panel (RSP) was initially performed on 21-Dec-85, but the section was unable to be completed because the procedure was incorrect in assuming that a quick start could be performed from the RSP. A manual RCIC start from RSP was performed under TE-22 with all Level I criteria satisfied. There was one Level 2 criteria failure as the EGM Controller output decay ratio was greater than 0.25 during the stability demonstration. This was evaluated by General Electric Engineering as acceptable. O 3~47
RCIC SYSTIEM l-ST-14 3.11.2 Discussion (Cont'd) on 31-Dec-85 the RCIC Quick Start to the CST at Rated Pressure for Surveillance Baseline Data, was initiated. After the RCIC Quick Start, it was discovered that the CST Throttle Return Valve was set incorrectly, resulting in an incorrect simulated vessel pressure. TE-26 was written and the associated retest was performed with all
- criteria satisfied.
The system Technical Specification High Steamline Flow Isolation setpoints were also determined after reviewing all of the data for the Quick Starts. The E31-N083 A and B transmitter isolation setpoints (RCIC Steam Line Flow) were calculated to be 127 inches of H2O versus 222 inches as the preliminary Technical Specification setpoint. This was based on 300 percent of steady-state system flow at rated conditions. The E31-N084 A and B () transmitter preliminary isolation setpoints (RHR/RCIC Steam Line Flow) were found adequate primarily based on the condition that the steam condensing mode of RHR was prohibited. The Technical Specifications have provisions to change the preliminary setpoints. TE-27 has been written to track this change and remains open. A summary of all the test exceptions follows along with the status as of 15-Jul-86. 3-48

The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in subsections 3.12.1.1 and 3.12.1.2. 3.12.1.1 Level 1 Criteria
- 1. The reactor recirculation pumps shall not be started, flow increased,nor power increased unless
() the coolant temperatures between the steam dome and bottom head drain are within 100 degrees F.
- 2. The recirculation pump in an idle loop must not be started, active loop flow must not be raised, and power must not be increased unless the idle loop suction temperature is within 50 degrees F of the active loop suction temperature and the active loop I flow rate is less than or equal to 50% of rated l loop flow. If two pumps are idle, the loop suction l
temperature must be within 50 degrees F of the steam dome temperature before pump startup. 3.12.1.2 Level 2 Criteria

, (VESSEL TEMPERATURES) 1-ST-16A 3.12.2 Discussion (Cont'd) the recirculation pumps are on slow speed to prevent temperature stratification in the bottom head region.
The differential temperature between the steam dome and bottom head drain must be within 100 degrees F. The l l flow control valves were closed to approximately 2% open l resulting in a calculated differential temperature of 96 1 degrees F. The plot of temperature versus flow control valve position indicated that stratification would occur at valve positions less than 2% open so an administrative limit was implemented to limit the valve closures to 2% open while on slow speed. The Level 2 criterion concerning bottom head drain flow indication was satisfied by Special Situation Test 5 (1-SST-05) Reactor Bottom Head Drain Flow Calibration. During the hot recirculation preoperational 1-PT-53, the bottom head drain flow indicator was test llh calibrated against the RWCU flow indication with reactor moderator temperature greater than 430 degrees F. A maximum deviation of 15 gpm was observed. An additional Level 2 criterion dealt with a temperature differential measurement at rated recirculation flow. This measurement was transferred to 1-ST-35 since rated conditions were not achieved during 1-ST-16A. Test Exception 1 documents this and is summarized below. TE DESCRIPTION STATUS 1 Since the plant was not at rate- Closed ed core flow, Level 2 criteria could not be verified. This criteria was removed from 1-ST-16A and transferred to 1-ST-35 where appropriate conditions exists to obtain the data. O 3-56
WATER LEVEL REFERENCE LEG TEMPERATURE 1-ST-16B 3.13.1 Description The major objective of this tent is to verify that the containment and drywell temperatures in the vicinity of the Reactor Level Reference Legs are within the limits that would result in less than a one percent of full scale error due to temperature compensation. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.13.1.1 and 3.13.1.2. 3.13.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None 3.13.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. The
() difference Reference Leg between the Temperatures sensing determined line containment and drywell temperature measurements and and from the values assumed during initial calibration shall be less than that amount which will result in a scale end point erroI of 1% of the instrument span for each range. 3.13.2 Discussion This test was performed during steady state operation with constant drywell temperatures during Test Condition Heatup (less than 5% power) and again at Test Condition 6 (94% power) . In both conditions, drywell and containment temperatures were taken in the vicinity of the sensing and reference leg lines. The densities at these temperatures were used to determine the error introduced by the actual temperatures from those assumed in the calibration. The results are summarized in Table 3.13-1. O 3 57
i WATER LEVEL REFERENCE LEG TEMPERATURE 1-ST-16B l 3.13.2 Discussion (con' t) During Test Condition Heatup, the maximum calculated narrow range level error was -0.678 compared to a criteria of less than 0.6 inches. This is documented in Test Exception 7. This violation was mainly a result of the reference leg condensing chambers located at a higher elevation than recommended. This coupled with the lower drywell temperatures produced an error of this magnitude. This was accepted by General Electric Engineering based on the small magnitude of the error and the expected higher drywell temperatures at higher powers. This was seen at the 100% power condition. Another Test Exception (TE-06) was documented due to a possible error in the initial calibration. A computer program RXWTR01 is utilized for calibration of initial level instrumentation. The program used specific volumes at saturated conditions instead of 950 psig. General Electric Engineering was aware of this end stated that the error induced in this simplification was very small (less than 0.2 inches) . During this test, all narrow range and wide range instruments were compared to each other. The recommended duration from the average is + 1.5 inches and + 6 inches for narrow and wide range instrumentation respectively. For the Heatup testing, 2 narrow range instruments exceeded this recommendation by 0.5 inches while 2 wide range instruments varied by more than one inch from recommended (TE-3). During the higher power measurement, however, 4 of the wide range instruments varied between 9 and 17 inches from the average. This is documented as TE-9 and remains open pending investigation. The following summarizes the test exceptions for 1-ST-16B along with the status as of 15 July 86. hII 3-58 l

The maximum pre-op temperatures reached during testing was 470 deg. F on the Recirculation lines and about 430 deg. F on the main steamlines. This walkdown verified that there were no restraints to thermal expension and that all hangers and snubbers were operating as nominally expected at ambient, 300 deg. 1 50 deg. F, maximum preoperation temperature or normal operating temperature, and at return-to-ambient. In addition to the walkdowns, remote displacement readings of the piping were recorded by 35 lanyard potentiometers connected through the ERIS computer system. Readings were taken at 50 deg. 110 deg. F intervals during the hot recirculation preoperational test and three subcequent nuclear heatup cycles. ggg The expansion taken during the third heatup cycle is summarized in Table 3.14-1.

PRESSURE REGULATOR l-ST-22 3.19.2 Discussion The Turbine Control System is supplied by General Electric and consists of 4 full arc Control Valves and two bypass valves, each 5% capacity for a total 10S bypass capacity. Testing was conducted on the Pressure Regulator system at all test conditions. Testing was conducted in three modes: A. With the system operating normally, load limit not limiting, controlling pressure with the control valves, B. The system operating with the load limit limiting, with the Bypass valves open and controlling pressure and C. The system operating just below the load limit such ( that an upward pressure transient would cause the system to transfer pressure control from the control valves to the Bypass Valves, as the load limit becomes limiting, (TC-3 only). i ' Testing consists of inputting a 7.5 psi step change via a step generator into the controlling regulator, and analyzing the response of the system. Also, the regulators are simulated to fail so that the other regulator will take control. Control System Linearity data is taken, the system response evaluated and regulator settings optimized. Final Control System settings are summarized in Table 3.19-1. The pressure response to step changes for all conditions are summarized in Table 3.19-2 and discussed in the following.
- 1. Test Condition 1 On 12/5/85, in Test Condition 1 at 5% power, Pressure Regulator Testing while controlling on the Bypass Valves was initially conducted.
This testing had to be reperformed under TE-1 because the ERIS system did not record all of the data required for analysis. O 3-78
PRESSURE REGILATOR h 1-ST-22 3.19.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Pressure Regulator Step changes of 7.5 psi were input, resulting in a 959 psig peak pressure with a negligible rise in APRMs. All of the applicable decay ratios were within the quarter damped criteria and the maximum delay time from the pressure setpoint change to peak turbine inlet pressure was 5 seconds, well within the specified time ot 10 seconds. The Pressure Regulator Failovers were not completed successfully as there was an offset of 2-3 psig between the A& B regulator channels. TE-2 was written on the failure to test the Pressure Regulator Failovers. The TE-2 retest was conducted after the procedure was changed to null out the offset between the pressure regulators during testing. However, the data on ERIS was overwritten prior to analysis ggg being performed. Testing was reperformed per TE-3 and consisted of simulating a Pressure Regulator Failure by inputting 20 psi steps into the channel to be failed. The maximum pressure rise seen was 10 psig and the APRM flux rise was again negligible. TE-4 was written since the retest was l done at 950 psig and thus the peak pressures could l not be compared directly. The 920 psig data was i extrapolated to 950 psig to effect a direct comparison and complete the Level 2 criteria. Pressure Regulator Testing with the control valves controlling pressure was initiated at 23% power, with the generator on line at 185 MWE. Step Levels of 8.75 psi were input for the Pressure Regulator Step changes and Step levels of 20 psi were utilized for the Pressure Regulator Failures. The maximum pressure reached was 970 psig with a peak APRM rise of 3%, both well within the acceptance criteria. The maximum response time from l 3-79 l _
O ra=ssua= == cut ^ rom 1-ST-22 3.19.2 Discussion (Cont'd) the setpoint changes to the peak turbine inlet pressure was 7 seconds vs. 10 seconds allowed. The maximum decay ratio was 0.13, on the Bypass Valve Position, which satisfactorily meets Level 2 criteria.
- 2. Test Condition 2 Pressure Regulator testing at Test Condition 2 was conducted at a power level of 32% for both Bypass Valves and Control Valves controlling pressure.
The peak pressure of 968 psig was noted during a simulated pressure regulator failure while controlling with the Bypass valves. The peak APRM flux rise of 7.5% was observed during a simulated
'N pressure regulator failure while controlling on the control valves. All of the response times for the
! step changes were less than the 10-second Level 2 criteria. Several difficulties were encountered during performance of this testing, ERIS data was not complete for the failover from B to A Regulator Upscale. TE-7 was written to retest this transient. Another difficulty was that only one of the control valve failover tests out of four was performed successfully. For the unsuccessful tests, a 20 psi step was input, but the regulator failure circuitry never detected a fault. This was due to the extremely rapid response of the control valves, which brought the pressure under control more quickly than the bypass valves and did not create a large enough deviation or error for the fault-sensing circuitry to detect. TE-6 was written for this problem. General Electric Engineering approved the performed failover test stating that this test was adequate to demonstrate operability of the failure detection logic.

PRESSURE REGULATOR l-ST-22 1 llI 3.19.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Pressure Regulator Testing for Test Condition 3 was conducted at 70% Reactor Power. Test results from the control valve steps showed a stable response with no measurable decay ratios. The maximum time from the input of the step to the maximum turbine throttle prassure was 5.6 seconds, well within the Level 2 criteria of 10 seconds. The maximum pressure reachod was 990 psig, with only a 2 psi overshoot on the upward step. The peak Neutron Flux rise was 2%. The test results for the Bypass Valve Incipient mode also showed a stable response with no measurable decay ratios. The longest time response measured was 9.2 seconds. The maximum pressure reached was 993 psig, with a 3 psi overshoot and a peak APRM rise of 3.5%. Exception TE-9 was written since the Pressure Regulator Testing with the Recirculation System in llh Flux Control could not be accomplished. At present 1-ST-29 Flux Controller Tuning has not been completed.
- 4. Test Condition 5 Pressure Regulator Testing for Test Condition 5 was conducted at 60% 3eactor Poder.
Test results from the control valve steps showed a stable response with no measurable decay ratios. The maximum time from the input of the step to the maximum turbine throttle pressure was 6.4 seconds. The maximum pressure reached was 983 psig, with only a three (3) psi overshoot on the upward step. The peak Neutron Flux rise was 3%. O 3-81
O rarsso== ==ou'^'on 1-ST-22 3.19.2 Discussion (Cont'd) The test results for the Bypass Valves also showed a stable response with no measurable decay ratios. The longest time response measured was 7.6 seconds. The maximum pressure reached was 984.5 psig, with a 3 psi overshoot and a peak APRM rise of 3.0%.
- 5. Test Condition 6 Pressure Regulator Testing for Test Condition 6 was conducted at 93% Reactor Power.
Test results from the Control Valve Steps showed a stable response to all steps with no measurable decay ratios. The longest time from the input of the step to the maximum turbine throttle pressure was 12.8 seconds. Test Exception 15 was written as ! ^ this time exceeds Level 2 criteria of 10 seconds. This test exception has been evaluated and accepted by General Electric Engineering. The maximum pressure reached was 1023 psig with only a 2 psi overshoot on the upward step. The peak neutron flux rise was 3%. Generator load changed by approximately 10 MWE during each step change. Text Exception 15 was written due to the loss of ERIS data for the "A" regulator step up. The test results for the Bypass Valve Steps also showed a stable response with no measurable decay ration. The longest time response measured was 6.0 seconds. The maximum pressure reached was 1024 psig, with a two (2) psi overshoot and peak APRM l rise of 4%. Test results for the Bypass Valve Regulator Failures showed that the automatic backup feature of the pressure regulator was satisfactorily demonstrated. Test Exception 12 was written because only the downward failures were performed, as the margin to scram at 93% power was judged to I be inadequate for the upward failures. Both the "A" and "B" regulators, when failed, switched over w 3-82

. reactor pressure decrease. Peak neutron flux rise was 4%.
- 6. Test condition 4 Pressure Regulator Testing for Test Condition 4 was conducted at 40% Reactor Power on natural circulation.
Test results from the control valve steps showed a stable response to all steps with only small decay l ratios during the transients. The maximum time from the step input to the maximum turbine throttle pressure was 6.3 seconds which satisfied the 10 second criteria. The maximum pressure reached was j 967 psig with a peak neutron flux rise of 3.6%. lll Test results for the bypass valves steps also l showed a stable response. One step (a downward l step with the 'A' pressure regulator in control) resulted in a pressure response time of 10.1 seconds. This exceeded the Level 2 criteria of 10 seconds. Test Exception 19 was written to document this. The maximum pressure peak was 967 psig and the maximum neutron flux rise was 4%. The results of the bypass valves presssure l regulator failures was unexpected in that the "B" pressure regulator did not transfer to the "A" pressure regulator during the upscale simulated failure. This discrepancy is. documented by Test Exception 14 The failover testing from the "A" to "B" regulator and the "B" to "A" regulator downscale was successful. O l l 3-83 I
PRESSURE REGULATOR 1-ST-22 0 3.19.2 Discussion (Cont'd)
- 7. Power Ascension Testing In the power ascension portion of 1-ST-22 data was collected from 5% to 100% power in order to verify the linearity of the control system over the entire control range and verify that the system deadband delay is such that the steady state steam flow variation is within acceptable limits. When analyzed, the data collected yielded a maximum variation of 1.12% for 0-60% power and 1.28% for 60-100% power. Both numbers exceeded the Level 2 criteria of + 0.5% of rated steam flow. These deviations are~ documented in Test Exceptions 8 and 18 respectively.
The linearity of the system is determined by the variation in incremental regulation, and was , excellent up to 60% power. The measured value of incremental regulation (the ratio of the maximum to the minimum value of the quantity " incremental (]) change in pressure control demand / incremental change in steam flow") for the 0-85% steam flow region was 3.5 to 1 which meets the Level 2 criteria of less than 4 to 1. A distinct non-linearity is seen beginning at 60% power as the Turbine Steam flow drops off as Steamflow Demand increases, relative to the linearity displayed at lower Turbine Steam Flows. Test Exception 17 was written as the Incremental Regulation Level 2 criteria for the 85-97 steamflow regions could not be evaluated due to insufficient data and the MSR's being out of service. Test Exception 20 was written due to the linearity data being taken at power levels greater than indicated due to incorrect Feedflow calibration. TE-13 was written as the pressure regulator testing with the recirculation system in flux control could not be accomplished. 1-ST-29 flux controller tuning has not been completed.

- 1. Maximum time to 10% of a step f 1.2 seconds disturbance 2.
Maximum time from 10% to 90% of f 2.1 seconds a step disturbance

At steady state generation for the 3/1 element systems, the input scaling to the mismatch gain should be adjusted such that level error due to biased mismatch gain output should be within + or - ) inch. 3.20.1.3 Level 3 Criteria Initial settings of the function generators should give a straight line. The function generators must be adjusted so that the change in slope (actual fluid flow change divided by demand change for small dist'Jrbances) shall not exceed a factor of 2 to 1 (maxim am slope versus minimum slope) over the entire 20% to 100% feed flow range. Also the function generators should be used to minimize the differences between feedwater actuators (valves). O 3-91
WATER LEVEL SETPOINT, MANUAL FEEDWATER FLOW CHANGES 1-ST-23A 3.20.2 Discussion Dynamic testing of the feedwater flow control system was accomplished in Test Conditions Heatup and 2 through 6. , Data .was collected throughout power ascension for function generator calibration. Level setpoint changes of + 3 and + 6 inches were scheduled for single and three element control in Test Conditions 2 through 6 with + 3 inch steps only performed in Test Condition Heatup. In TC-6, + 20% valve position steps were injected into the individual valve control loops; + 10% individual valve and the mismatch gain verifications were performed during TC-3 and 6. Summary of each Test Condition follows. An overview of the test exceptions is given at the end of the subsection.
- 1. Tast Condition Heatup O During Test Condition Heatup, initial startup controller tuning was performed. Reactor level showed a decay ratio of 0.28. This was larger than the level 2 criteria of 4 0.25 and TE-3 was written for this with the disposTtion being that is was acceptable due to a very stable response. All other related variables show a negligible decay ratio. TE-2 and TE-7 were written since the ERIS signal for IC33-LVD002 failed after a scram damaged the end device. This signal is not actually analyzed but used for troubleshooting. Therefore it was accepted "as is". TE-5 was written since changes had been made after final tuneup settings were tested. TE-6 was written in order to perform system tuning as a result of unsatisfactory system response (decay ratio 4 .25), discovered while performing testing to cloie out TE-5.

- 2. Test Condition 2 During TC-2, setpoint level steps were introduced, to observe the dynamic response of the master level control system, by quickly changing the thumbwheel tape set on the master level controller by an amount equal to the desired step. TE-9 was written to repeat testing since the valve configuration was altered before testing was completed. TE-10 was taken to increase the margin from a feed pump trip on low suction pressure during level steps. Here,
+/-5 inches step changes were injected in the three element mode instead of the +/-6 inches steps.
This does not affect any level criteria and this TE was closed. TE-11 was taken since there was a Level 2 violation on decay ratio. The highest decay ratio for ggg feedwater flow is 0.55 while the decay ratio for the feedwater reg. valve is 0.52. The criteria calls for a maximum decay ratio of $ 0.25. For the given configuration the feedwater control system demonstrated adequate response to control water level. The TE is closed since response was adequate and was further optimized in Test Condition 3.
- 3. Test condition 3 There were 3 portions of the TC-3 testing. The first portion involved data collection of the mismatch data (the difference between feedwater flow and steam flow) and verification that a mismatch of less than 1 inch met the level 2 criteria. No adjustment was necessary to meet the Level 2 criteria. The second portion consisted of injecting + 10% step changes into the individual feedwater valve dynamic loops with a step change generator to verify open loop response. In the third portion, the total loop was evaluated by observing the response of the level control system to level setpoint step changes.

l l O WATER LEVEL SETPOINT, MANUAL FEEDWATER FLOW CHANGES 1-ST-23A 3.20.2 Discussion (Cont'd) During dynamic testing in TC-3, only the "B" and "C" feedwater regulating valves were in service. ' TE-15 was written to test FWRV "A" at a later date. A stro generator was utilized to inject + 10% valve position steps into the valve being tested in an open loop configuration. The valve (s) not being tested remained in Auto control and compensated for the injected step. Valves "B" and "C" met Level 1 Criteria for f.ndividual steps. The "B" FWRV met all level 2 criteria except overshoot. It exceeded the allowed 15% criteria with a 56% value resulting in TE-17. For "C" FWRV the ERIS valve position signal was not available for data acquisition. TE-16 documented this condition. TE's 15, 16 and 17 were cleared due to retesting performed per TE-18. TE-18 resulted since the feedwater flow control valves dynamic characteristics were altered

('d with AP932 units. Theses units were determined to be slower by the vendor. Subsequently, additional tuning was required. For the master level control steps, all Level 1 and 2 Criteria were met on the + 3 and + 6 inch level setpoint steps into the master leveI controller. A quick adjustment of the thumbwheel tape set was the method used to provide the step function. A 2-3 inch limit cycle was observed and was further tuned in Test Conditions 5 and 6.
- 4. Test Condition 4 TC-4 testing was performed chronologically after TC-6 testing. Therefore, basically only demonstration tests were performed. Level 1 and 3 critoria were met. However, the level 2 criteria of a decay ratio was exceeded in three element with a 0.47 for the negative steps. Also the single element decay ratio could not be evaluated due to the very large steady-state limit cycle (3-4 inches) which was a result of the slower AP932 Baily positioners.

- 1. Individual Feedwater Control Demonstration Test
- 2. Master control One and Three Element Demonstration Test
- 3. Mismatch Gain Output Verification The Individual Feedwater Control Demonstration Tests were performed by inserting positive and negative 10% and 20% step changes into each feedwater regulating valve (FRV) individually.
Data was collected by the ERIS computer, analyzed, and compared to the acceptance criteria. TE-20 was written because the response times of the FRV's did not satisfy the criteria of less than 2.1 seconds. . The response times ranged from 2.2 seconds to 9.9 seconds. IED 3-95 m r-
O WATER LEVEL SETPOINT, MANUAL FEEDWATER FLOW CHANGES U 1-ST-23A 3.20.2 Discussion (Cont'd) TE-21 address the "B" FWRV settling time of 15.05 seconds. The criteria calls for a settling time of 414 seconds. TE-22 was written to document that the maximum rate of response of total feedwater flow to large step disturbances exceeded the criteria of 3.3% to 8.3%. The maximum rate of response was 52.6%. TE's 20, 21, and 22 are open and are being evaluated by General Electric Engineering. TE-23 was written because the total steam flow signal was not available to analyze for decay ratio. Because the Reactor water level and feedwater flows were not oscillating or diverging, it was clear that total steam flow satisfied the criteria. This test exception has been closed. Otherwise there were no other test related ( parameters that displayed decay ratios greater than 0.25. All three (3) FWRV's satisfied the 1.2 second delay time criteria, and no overshoot was observed. The Master Control One and Three Element Demonstration Test was performed by using the Master Level Controller in both one and three element control. In each control configuration,
- positive and negative three inch and six inch level steps were manually introduced. Although, there was no divergent behavior, there was a large i steady-state oscillation for all three FWRV's when testing in one element control. This was a result of the insensitivity of the valves to small demand signal changes resulting in a larger time constant than could be compensated for electronically.

WATER LEVEL SETPOINT, MANUAL FEEDWATER FLOW CHANGES h 1-ST-23A 3.20.2 Discussion (Cont ' d) This made analyzing for decay ratios impractical. Test exception 24 was written because of the inability to analyze the data for Level 2 decay ratio criteria. Level 1 and Level 3 criteria were satisfied. The Mismatch Gain Output Verification was performed by taking sets of data every 5% power along the 100% rod line. The purpose of the test was to verify that the Steam Flow / Feed Flow Output card does not result in a level error of greater than one inch (output between 0.903 to 1.09v). This criteria was satisfied.
- 7. Overview The final feedwater dynamic response verification was not performed. This consists of one and three element testing to be performed throughout the entire operable range of feedwater. Prior to Test Condition 6, the testing was performed with the system gain set for one, llg and then two valves in service. Performing this verification ensures that the gain settings determined for three valves in service at 100% power are sufficient for one valve in service at low power level. Test Exception 30 documents this exception.
The data from the individual feedwater control demonstration showed that there was no divergent behavior and all decay ratios were less than 0.25. The maximum delay time was specified to be 1.2 seconds. It was actually 2.35 seconds. The maximum response time was specified to be 2.1 seconds. The actual maximum response time was 14.6 seconds. The maximum settling time was specified to be 14 seconds. The actual maximum settling time was 75.4 seconds. Finally, the peak overshoot allowed was 15%. The maximum was 61%. These critoria violations were documented by test exceptions 25, 26, 28 and 27 respectively. O 3-97 1

Since that time, a number of modifications have been made affecting all three feed regulating valves including replacement of the Bhiley positioners (formerly AP 532) with AP 932 positioners. TE-19 remains open. It is a level 3 criteria concern.

h LOSS OF FEEDWATER HEATING l-ST-23B 3.21 1-ST-23B LOSS OF FEEDWATER HEATING 3.21.1 Description The major objective of this test is to demonstrate adequate plant response to a feedwater temperature loss. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in subsections 3.21.1.1 and 3.21.1.2 3.21.1.1 Level 1 Criteria
- 1. The maximum feedwater temperature decrease due to a single failure case must be less than or equal to 100 degrees F. The resultant MCPR must be greater than the fuel thermal safety limit.
- 2. The increase in simulated heat flux cannot exceed the predicted Level 2 value by more than 2%. The ggg predicted value will be based on the actual test values of feedwater temperature change and initial power level.
3.21.1.2 Level 2 Criteria The increase in simulated heat flux cannot exceed the predicted value referenced to the actual feedwater temperature change and initial power level. 3.21.2 Discussion A loss of feedwater heating can be initiated in a number of ways. Stone and Webster Engineering performed a parametric study to determine the single failure scenario which would result in the largest drop in feedwater temperature. This analysis showed that if 1-CNM-AOV119, the bypass valve around the condensate demineralizers and low pressure heaters, was opened at power, the loss of flow through the low pressure heaters and subsequent drop in feedwater temperature would be the worst case single failure accident. The predicted drop in feedwater temperature at 100% reactor power was 35 degrees F. O 3-102 _ _-.. . . =
LOSS OF FEEDWATER HEATING l-ST-23B 3.21.2 Discussion (con't) This procedure was performed during Test Condition Power Ascension at 49% power, and Test Condition 6 at 94% power. The actual loss of feedwater heating was initiated by opening 1-CNM-AOV119 by means of a temporary test switch. The results are summarized in Table 3.21-1. During the test at 49% power, feedwater temperature stayed constant for approximately four minutes after 1-CNM-AOV119 was opened and then decreased 35 degrees F over the next four minutes. The final feedwater temperature was 315 degrees F, giving a total drop of 42 degrees F. While this was greater than the predicted temperature drop at 100% power, it was not expected that the 100 degrees F limit would be approached when the test would be performed in Test Condition 6. The results from Test Condition 6 are also summarized in llh Table 3.21-1. Feedwater temperature stayed constant for approximately eighty seconds after 1-CNM-AOV119 was opened and then decreased over the next nine minutes. The final feedwater temperature was 367 degrees F, giving a total average drop of 42.5 degrees F. This is only slightly greater than the temperature drop at lower power, and is well below the level one criteria of 100 degrees F. All criteria for both test conditions were met. One test exception was written against the test at 49% power due to a failure of the ERIS computer. This exception did not affect the results of the test since all of the necessary data was obtained from the plant process computer. This test exception is summarized below.

The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.22.1.1 and 3.22.1.2. 3.22.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None 3.22.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. The reactor shall avoid low water level scram by
{s'>) three inches margin from an initial water level halfway between the high and low level alarm setpoints. 3.22.2 Discussion On 5/25/86 Feedwater Pump "A" was tripped from 95% core thermal power. Reactor water level dropped to 31.5 inches and stabilized at 33 inches. The feedwater regulating valves went full open and the Feedpumps "B" and "C" current went to 310 Amps, just below the alarm point of 340 amps. The "A" feedpump was restarted ar soon as conditions stabilized (3 minutes) to avoid high motor temperatures on the *B" and "C" feedpumps. Tripping Feedpump "A" renulted in a margin to scram of 1 21.8 inches. The criteria was a margin of > 3 inches.
- The criteria was met, however, the purpose of the procedure was to demonstrate the capability of the flow control runback circuit to drop power sufficiently to prevent a scram. Level did not drop enough to cause a

On at least three (3) previous occasions the recire runback function operated as designed as documented in the Shift Test Logs. Since the runback circuit was not necessary to maintain the margin to scram due to the feedpump capacity, the feedpump trip transient becomes a milder transient and the runback function becomes a backup for this event.
"A" feedpump was chosen to be tripped as it has less capacity than the other two (2) feedpumps. "A" feedpump was previously modified and is scheduled to be reworked such that it has the same dP vs. flow characteristics as the other feedpumps.

The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in subsections 3.23.1.1 and 3.23.1.2. 3.23.1.1 Level 1 Criteria Maximum valve positions attained shall not exceed the positions which will give the following flows with the normal complement of pumps operating.

MAXIMUM FEEDWATER FUNOUT CAPABILITY l-ST-23D 3.23.2 Discussion (Cont'd) ERIS and process computers at reactor powers between 55 and 100 percent with a full condensate and feedwater pump lineup (3 feedpumps, 3 feedwater regulating valves, 3 condensate pumps and two heater drain pumps on-line). ~ This data was utilized to produce characteristic curves for the individual components of the Condensate and Feedwater systems. The Condensate system was broken down into the Condensate Pumps, the Demineralizers, and the Low Pressure Heaters. The Feedwater system was broken down into the Heater Drain Pumps, the Second Point Heaters, the Feed Pumps, the Feed Regulating Valves, and the First Point Heaters. For each of these components, a differential pressure versus flow curve was generated. From these curves, plant performance under the conditions specified by the acceptance criteria was predicted. In two instances, data from other startup tests was used 9 to generate these characteristic curves, as it was not possible to obtain this data during steady-state conditions. It was planned to obtain each Feedwater Regulating Valves's dP vs. Flow Curve individually, however, this proved to be not practical operationally. Instead, this data was obtained in the actual plant conditions specified by the test, valves wide open, using the feedwater transient after the MSIV Full Isolation (1-ST-25B). Also, the dP vs. flow relationship for the condensate bypass line when valve CNM-AOV119 opened was obtained from the Loss of Feedwater Heating test, when the valve was opened to bypass the Low Pressure Heaters. The Level 1 acceptance criteria are written in terms of placing a limit on feed regulating valve positions, if necessary, to prevent excessive feedwater flow during a control system failure. The analytical approach for , 9 3-108
MAXIMUM FEEDWATER RUNOUT CAPABILITY l-ST-23D 3.23.2 Discussion (Cont ' d) this criteria was to demonstrate that the feed flow with the regulating valves full open meets the criteria, and no position limits are therefore required. Analysis predicted that the feedwater flow at 1080 PSIA would be 113.8% of rated feedwater flow with the feed regulating valves (FRV) fully open. This meets the criteria of less than 130%. The predicted feedwater flow at 1040 PSIA is 116% of rated with fully open FRV's. This meets the criteria of less than 138%. The Level 2 criteria are control system requirements to ensure that adequate feedwater flow is available during transients. They are also written in terms of limiting FRV position, but since no position limiting is required, they were analyzed for the FRV full open p/ . condition. With one feedpump tripped, the analysis s- predicts 92.1% NBR feedwater flow at 1042 PSIA. This is well above the criterion of greater than 80%. The criterion of 115% NBR at 1080 PSIA was evaluated in two conditions. Condensate valve 1-CNM-AOV119 bypasses the Condensate system demineralizer and low pressure heaters in the event of a turbine trip from high power in order to provide more feedwater flow and protect the condensate demineralizer beds from damage in this condition. The analysis was performed assuming the bypass valve does not open, and heater drain pumped forward flow is normal. It was also performed assuming the bypass valve opens and the heater drain flow stops. In the case of 1-CNM-AOV119 opening, the analysis predicts 116.5% NBR. This meets the criterion of greater than 115%. In the case of the bypass valve not opening, the predict feedwater flow is 113.8%, which does not meet the criterion. Test Exception 3 was written against this deficiency and is being evaluated by General Electric Engineering. i l l (S) l l 1 1 3-109 l
MAXIMUM FEEDWATER RUNOUT CAPABILITY h 1-ST-23D 3.23.2 Discussion (Cont ' d) Test Exception 1 was written against the initial method of determining the characteristic curves for the feed regulating valves and for 1-CNM-AOV119. The methodology for 1-CNM-AOV119 and the feed regulating valves was revised. Test Exception 2 was written against the method of analysis for the two feed pump condition. A curve was generated for feed pump head versus flow taking data with all three feed pumps in service. A curve for the two feed pump condition was also derived from the same data. The "A" feed pump, however, has a head curve significantly different than the other two feed pumps due to an impeller modification. The assumption that the three pumps are identical was therefore invalid. In order to disposition this exception, analysis was performed using field data on the "A" feed pump and preoperational test data and vendor data on the "B" and "C" pumps. The "B" pump was selected as the most conservative of the two to be lll paired with the "A" pump to develop a new two pump curve. This curve was then used to perform the two pump analysis.

- 1. The MSIV stroke time (ts) shall be no faster than 3.0 seconds (average of the fastest valve in each steam line), and for any individual valve 2.5 seconds < ts <c 5 seconds. Total effective closure time for any individual MSIV shall be tsol plus the maximum instrumentation delay time as determined in preoperational test 1-PT-58, Nuclear Steam Supply Shutoff System, and shall be <f 5.5 seconds.

3.25.2 Discussion Main Steam Line Valve Tests, 1-ST-25A, were performed at 3% power during Test Condition Heatup (TC-HU) on 25 Nov. 85 and again at 30% power in TC-2 on 7-Feb. 86. O 3-115
MAIN STEAM LINE VALVE TESTS h 1-ST-25A During this test the MSIV's and Main Steam Branch Valves were individually tested for operability and were individually timed. The MSIV stroke and closure times were determined by monitoring the 90% and 10% open limit switches en the ERIS computer. The stroke time was then calculated by extrapolating the measured valve movement over the measured time to the 100% valve movement and full stroke time. The valve closure time is the time from when the valve solenoid is deenergized to when the valve is fully closed. The stroke and valve closure times were determined using extrapolation from the actual limit switch positions. The instrument delay time was determined from preoperational test data (1-FT-058) to be 0.28 seconds. The results of the MSIV testing are shown in Table 3.25.2.1. Each MSIV satisfied the Level 1 criteria for both stroke time and effective closure time. All of the Branch valves satisfied the requirements of STP-109-0301 which satisfied the Level 2 criteria. lll The process computer On Demand program OD-1 (Heat Balance) was not available for this test resulting in test exception (TE) 1. This did not affect the results of the test and was dispositioned accordingly. This test exception is listed below. All applicable criteria were satisfied.

MSIV FULL CLOSURE 1-ST-25B O 3.26 1-ST-25B MSIV FULL CLOSURE 3.26.1 Description The purpose of this test is to determine the reactor j transient behavior that results from simultaneous full closure of all Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIV's).

3.26.2 Discussion The MSIV Full Closure test was performed at 62% power during Test Condition (TC) 3 on 20-Mar-86 and at 99% power during TC-6 on 8-Jun-86. The simultaneous full closure of all MSIVs was initiated by placing two " low condenser vacuum" channels in the trip condition. O 3-119
MSIV FULL CLOSURE 1-ST-25B O V 3.26.2 Discussion (Cont'd)
- 1. Test Condition 3 In TC-3, the MSIVs closed with an average valve stroke time of 3.25 seconds. The reactor scram occurred .48 seconds after the MSIVs received a signal to isolate.
Reactor power did not rise during the transient and the maximum reactor pressure rise was 82 psi which occurred approximately 3 seconds after receiving the isolation signal. The maximum level during the transient was 73 inches while the minimum level was - 22 inches. The level 3 alarm came at 4.5 seconds into the transient transferring recirc pumps to slow speed. The Level 2 setpoint was never achieved but Level 8 trip initiated approximately 3 minutes into the transient. RCIC and HPCS systems did not initiate since Level 2 was never reached. Safety Relief Valve (SRV) F015D opened on pressure relief while F051C opened on low low set pressure relief just prior to achieving the maximum reactor pressure rise. Based on SRV Tailpipe temperature and Main Steam Line "C" it was clear that SRV F041C opened for (]) flow, approximately three seconds. Test Exception (TE) 3 was written to document these SRV's lifting. General Electric Engineering concluded that these SRV's lifting did not effect the pressure rise because they lifted very close to the peak pressure. This resolved TE-3. A brief sequence of events is shown in Table 3.26-1. A comparison of the results with the acceptance criteria is given in Table 3.26-2. All acceptance criteria have been met. I For the TC-3 testing there were portions of feedwater system testing (1-ST-23A) and pressure regulator testing (1-ST-22) that were listed as prerequisites, but were not completed. Test Exception 1 documented this concern and it was resolved when 1-ST-25B was performed at near rated conditions. Also, initial core flow was lower than required. Test Exception 4 was written regarding this and was dispositioned since core flow is of minor effect for this transient. Initially, analysis was done
- for test conditions at 70% power. However, due to an error found in the feedwater flow calibratior., the data was reevaluated for 62% initial. power. This was documented by Test Exception 6.
O 3-120
MSIV FULL CLOSURE 1-ST-25B O 3.26.2 Discussion (Cont'd) There were two (2) other Test Exceptions written due to problems associated with ERIS signals. Test Exception 2 concerns failure to obtain the inboard MSIV solenoid deenergization signal. Since MSIV stroke time measurements are taken periodically per Tech Specs and by previous testing (1-ST-25A), failure to obtain the times during this test was acceptable. Test Exception 5 was written since the scram delay could not be obtained for analysis. In this case, there was no computer signal for the RPS limit switches on the MSIVs. Since the scram delay has a very small affect on the analysis, this was accepted accordingly.
- 2. Test Condition 6 The MSIV full closure at TC-6 was initiated at rated reactor power and steam dome pressure. The MSIVs closed with an average valve stroke time of 3.8 seconds. The reactor scrammed 0.5 seconds after the isolation signal.
The reactor pressure peaked at 1091 psig approximately 27 seconds into the transient. SRV F051D actuated on g pressure relief at 1087 psig while F051C lifted on the low low set pressure relief logic. The low low pressure relief logic was further demonstrated in that F051D opened two additional times at about 6 minutes and 10 1/2 minutes into the transient. Three additional SRVs may have lifted off their seats briefly as evidenced by increased tailpipe temperatures. This is documented in TE-12. I The water level reached a minimum of -45 inches approximately 6 seconds after the isolation signal. Both RCIC and !!PCS properly initiated on Level 2. The recirculation pumps transferred to LFMG sets at Level 3 l but did not trip on a Level 2 signal. TE-9 documents this. The ATWS logic and setpoints have been satisfactorily checked and TE-09 dispositioned. Water Level indicated a high of 71 inches when the MSIVs were reopened about six minutes after the isolation. Prior to that the highest water level was 56 inches seen 5 minutes after isolation, tripping all three FW pumps and closing the !!PCS injection valve. The RCIC flow had been previously diverted to the test return line when water .tevel climbed back to about 30 inches. A brief sequence of events is listed in Table 3.26-3. ggg 3-121
MSIV FULL CIASURE 1-ST-258 O 3.26.2 Discussion (Cont'd) The dome pressure rise for normal conditions was predicted to be 121.4 psi from the Transient Safety Analyses Design Report (TSADR) . This number was adjusted based upon the actual conditions of the test and sensitivity analyses also given in the TSADR. No correction was needed for the initial power and dome pressure since these parameters were essentially at rated. However, adjustments for scram speed, MSIV closure time and SRV setpoints were made. An adjustment j for scram delay was not made since this cannot be done from the ERIS data. This is listed as TE-13. Since any adjustments for scram delay would be extremely small, TE-13 was dispositioned to be accepted as is. With the appropriate adjustments made, the predicted pressure rise during the actual test conditions was originally calculated to be 98 psi. However, due to the probability that 3 additional SRVs may have opened, General Electric Engineering p( formed another analysis based on actual plant data and calculated a peak pressure rise criteria of 77 psi. Since the actual O pressure rise was only 61 psi, the Level 1 and Level 2 criteria were satisfied. The criteria for heat flux rise was also met with an actual rise of 0.27% compared with the requirement of 1 css than 0.4%. A complete comparison of acceptance criteria and test results is shown in Table 3.26-2. Following is a summary of the Test Exceptions written for 1-ST-25B along with the status as of 15-Jul-86. s O 3-122

MAIN STEAM LINE FL0tt INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION 7s 1-ST-25C/D (_) 3.27.1 Description The major objective of this test is to investigate the performance of and calibrate the main steam flow venturis and elbow taps at selected power levels over the entire steam flow range. The final calibration will take place with the data accumulated along the 100% rod line. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.27.1.1 and 3.27.1.2. 3.27.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None. 3.27.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. The flow venturi dp shall be equal to or greater than 79.3 psig at rated steam flow, and greater than or equal to 178 paid at 140% rated steam flow.
/~N 2. The accuracy of the elbow tap kJ relative to the calibrated feedwater flow shall be at least +5 percent of rated flow at flow rates between 40 and TOO percent of rated. The repeatability / noise shall be within +1.5 percent of rated flow.
3.27.2 Discussion Beginning at approximately 40% core thermal power and a fixed full load turbine inlet pressure of between 950 tc 955 psia, data was taken on the Main Steam venturis and elbow taps using digital voltmeters and the ERIS computer. This data was taken at selected power levels along the 75% rod line and again along the 100% rod line to verify the associated instrumentation calibration. For both the venturis and the elbow taps, plots were made of the calculated steam flow versus the delta P. In TC-3, the venturi data was insufficient for extrapolation to 140% steam flow resulting in TE-01 which was resolved by continuing data collection along the 100% rod line. TE-06 was written due to extensive noise on the elbow taps. Similar observations were made at Test Condition 6. (~h (_) 3-130

TE-02 documents this and dictated retaking the data. The second power ascension data set along the 100% rod line was successfully completed. Test Exceptions 4, 5 and 6 resulted from the failure to meet the Level 2 criteria associated with this test. These along with a status as of 15 July 86 are summarized as follows: TEST TE CONDITION DESCRIPTION STATUS 1 3 Insufficient data tc extrapolate Closed flow to 140% rated steam flow. Continue data accumulation along 100% rod line. 2 6 Incorrect feedwater flow calibration caused all data to be invalidt closed g additional data was taken. 3 6 The elbow tap flow versus delta P Open curves are not within +5% of the design curves. Largest deviation is 32%. Evaluated and accepted by GE Engineering for operation.

SAFETY RELIEF VALVE l-ST-26 3.28.2 Discussion (con't) Safety Relief Valve testing began again on 06 December 1985 per Test Exception 1. The maximum decay ratio measured was 0.4 for bypass valve position during the F051C relief valve activation. The Level 2 criteria requires decay ratios of less than 0.25. Test Exception 2 documents this exception. Since the reactor pressure responded acceptably, this test exception was closed. i The discharge temperatures of six (6) safety relief I valves did not return to within 10 deg.

The Bypass Valves will open, routing the steam directly to the condenser. The reactor will not scram in this transient. Bypass Valve Capacity Determination - At TC-2, with the Turbine-Generator synched to the grid, the bypass valves will be opened and the reduction of Generated Electrical Power will be used to determine bypass valve capacity. p/ s-Generator-Load Rejection at High Power generator load rejection at Test Condition 6 will A be initiated by tripping a generator differential relay. This will open both generator output breakers and cause a fast closure of the turbine control-valves, inducing a reactor scram and the opening of the bypass valves. System responses will be analyzed and compared to expected responses. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in subsections 3.29.1.1 and 3.29.1.2. 3.29.1.1 Level 1 Criteria

3.29.2 Discussion Turbine Trip within Bypass Valve Capacity On 23-Dec-85, with the reactor power at 8% indicated on the APRMs, and the main generator carrying 70 MWe the main turbine was tripped by depressing the main turbine trip push buttons in the main control room. The two lll bypass valves responded correctly to the transient by opening to pass reactor steam to the main condenser. Reactor pressure increaEed by 20 psi immediately after the turbine trip before returning to its initial valve. As a reactor scram did not occur all acceptance criteria were satisfied. There were no test exceptions associated with this portion of the startup test. Bypass Valve Capacity Determination With reactor power at 32%, both aypass valves were fully opened using the bypass ,ulves jack. Main generator output decreased from 239.1 MWe to l 3-137
th TURBINE TRIP AND GENERATOR LOAD REJECTION 1-ST-27 3.29.2 Discussion (Cont'd) 128.4 MWe. Main steam flow rate was determined by summing the values of feedwater flow and CRD flow obtained from a process computer OD-3 edit. The initial calculated value of bypass valve capacity was incorrect because the feedwater flow venturis were not calibrated correctly. Feedwater flow indication was 93% of actual flow during the test. After the venturis were recalibrated, a correction factor was applied to the previously measured feedwater flow rate. This is documented in Test Exception 1. A total bypass valve capacity was calculated as 11.13% using the corrected feedwater flow rate. The total bypass valve capacity exceeded the required value of 10%, satisfying all acceptance criteria. hN Generator Load Rejection at High Power l On 29-May-86, the generator load rejection was initiated l by manually actuating the main generator differential relay from initial conditions of 96% core thermal power l and 96% of rated core flow. General Electric l Engineering evaluated actual plant conditions and predicted a maximum allowable pressure increase of 104 psi. Actual pressure increase was 82 psi on the transient. The initial dome pressure was 1024 psig. The maximum heat flux rise was 0.15% which was less than 0.3% as required. A sequence of events for the transient is listed in Table 3.29-1. l () 1 3-138 l

After the feed-water flow venturi were recalibrated, the calculations were performed again using a correction factor applied to the measured feedwater flow rate during the original test. 2 Final transient temperatures for some Closed relief valve tailpipes were lower than the initial temperatures by more than 10 degrees F due to reactor cooldown. 3 Loop A recirculation loop coastdown flow closed was outside the upper limit boundary
\
curve for approximately 0.5 seconds. All relevant data has been forwarded to General Electric Engineering which has performed an engineering analysis and found the pump coastdown to be acceptable. 4 AOV-119, the condensate Closed demineralizer bypass valve, did not open following the main turbine trip. The problem was identified and corrected. 5 A reactor water level 8 feedpump trip Closed occurred approximately one and one-half minutes after the transient started. l System response was adequate to prevent steam line flooding. 6 Safety relief valves F041D and F041F Closed apparently lifted against their springs during the peak pressure spike, based upon an increase in their tailpipe l temperatures. General Electric Engineer-() ing has evaluated this for impact upon the I plant's expected transient behavior. There l was no additional impact since the pre-l dictions were made with the actual test l conditions. 3-144

These calculated values were based on a reclose setpoint of 946 psig, the LLS setpoint. It is apparent from the actual closing pressure that the 1113 psig LLS trip units did not activate so the closing setpoint was 1013, and the actual closing pressures were within 20 psia of 1013.

- 1. To demonstrate that the reactor can be brought from a normal initial steady-state power level to the point where cooldown is initiated and under control with the reactor vessel pressure and water level controlled from outside the main control room.
The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.30.1.1 and 3.30.1.2. 3.30.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None (]) 3.30.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. During a simulated control room evacuation, the reactor must be brought to the point where cooldown is initiated and under control, and the reactor vessel pressure and water are controlled using equipment and controls outside the control room.
3.30.2 Discussion Reactor shutdown and the requirement to maintain stable control in hot standby was demonstrated in TC-2. Reactor cooldown using the RHR system in Shutdown Cooling mode was demonstrated in TC-6. At Test Condition 2 the reactor was scrammed from the outside the control room by simulating a low condenser vacuum causing a main steam isolation valve (MSIV) isolation and a reactor scram. The initial reactor and plant condition were as follows: INITIAL FINAL Reactor Power---------344 Mwt (11.9%) 0% O' Reactor Level--------- 36 inches 51 inches Reactor Pressure------955 psig 743 psig 3-146
SHUTDOWN FROM OUTSIDE THE CONTROL ROOM 1-ST-28 3.30.2 Discussion (Cont'd) During the test the maximum and minimum reactor water levels were 54 and 13 inches respectively. Maximum reactor pressure was 1020 psig. From the Division 1 Remote Shutdown Panel (RSP) Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) was operated in the CST to CST mode, Loop A of the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) system was operated in suppression pool cooling mode and safety relief valve (SRV) RVF051C was manually cycled. Reg Guide 1.68 provides the following guidelines concerning the performance of this test:
- 1. The reactor be at an initial power level of 10% - 25% with the turbine generator on-line.
- 2. The test be performed with a minimum shift crew (defined Specifications).
in the Technical lll
- 3. The plant be maintained in a stable hot standby condition for at least thirty minutes.
- 4. Only equipment for which credit would be taken in performing an actual remote shutdown should be used.
These recommendations were all followed and addressed specifically in the procedure: TE-3 resulted from a procedural problem with this test. Initial suppression pool level could not be recorded at the RSP prior to transfer from the main control room. The TE was resolved by recording the suppression pool level after transfer to the RSP.

(] SHUTDOWN FROM OUTSIDE THE CONTROL ROOM 1-ST-28 3.30.2 Discussion (Cont ' d) At test condition 6 cooldown was initiated and controlled from the RSP utilizing the RHR system in th Shutdown Cooling mode. The initial reactor conditions were: Reactor Pressure------120 psig Reactor Temperature---350 degrees F. Reg Guide 1.08 provides the following guidelines concerning the performance of this test:
- 1. A heat transfer path to the ultimate heat sink can be established.
- 2. Reactor coolant temperature can be reduced approximately 50 deg F. using the shutdown r~s cooling system at a rate of less than 100 deg
(_) F. in any one hour period. These recommendations were all followed and addressed specifically in the procedure. A cooldown rate of 86 deg F/hr was achieved over a period of 37 minutes which satisfies the Reg Guide 1.68 recommendations and Technical Specifications. All acceptance criteria was met.

I ($) i RECIRCULATION FLOW CONTROL SYSTEH 1-ST-29 3.31.2 Discussion (Cont'd) i 1-ST-29 at open vessel verified that large step inputs to the position and velocity controllers will result in valve stroke rates of 9 to 11%/sec. The system deadband was verified to be less than .2% of valve position. The damping ratio of the system response to 5% steps was verified to be less than
.25. Test Exception (TE) I was written when analysis showed the system response was slower than the criteria required at higher test conditions.
This required further tuning of the system prior to TC-1. The TE was completed successfully.
- 2. Test Condition 1
() In Test Condition 1, position loop testing was performed while operating with the Low Frequency Motor Generators (LFMG's) powering the recirculation pump motors. Before actually inserting transients into the system, position and flow controller tuning was performed. Once tuned, +5 percent steps were inserted into each flow control valve (FCV) individually at the minimum position, 75 percent flow position, and 95 percent flow position. The only criteria applicable at TC-1 were to verify no divergent behavior s.id that no control system related parameters experience a decay ratio greater than 0.25. These criteria were satisfied. TE-02 was written during TC-1 when the data for the step changes at 75% flow was lost during the ERIS computer archive process. The exception was resolved by retesting the missing steps. t 3-153
RECIRCULATION FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM 1-ST-29 3.31.2 Discussion (Cont'd)
- 3. Test Condition 3 Testing in Test Condition 3 included four (4) test sections. These sections were Function Generator Linearization, Position and Flow Loop Testing, Flux Loop Testing, and Duty Cycle Testing. A summary of results is listed in Table 3.31-1.
Function Generator Linearization testing was performed by taking recirculation system data approximately every 5 percent core flow. Then graphs were made for both recirculation loops of Valve Position vs. Drive Flow, Function Generator Input vs. Function Generator Output, and Function Generator Input vs. Drive Flow. The graphs were measured to show that the maximum incremental gain did not vary by more than 2:1. The actual maximum variance was 1.3:1. lll The major portion of testing during Test condition 3 involved position and flow demand steps at various flow control valve positions. This test was conducted by inserting positive and negative five percent step changes to individual flow control valve position, individual flow loops, and both flow loops simultaneously. The steps were conducted at minimum flow, 75 percent flow, and 95 percent flow all using fast speed recirculation pumps along the 75% rod line. The first effort was interrupted by a plant shut-down. The discontinuity in the procedure was documented as TE-03. TE-05 resulted from missing data at the 95% flow condition due to a computer problem. These steps were repeated, clearing the test exceptions. 3-154
I (\ Q RECIRCULATION FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM l-sT-29 3.31.2 Discussion (Cont'd) The position control loop was further tuned during Test Condition 3. In this case, the controller was set as fast as possible without sacrificing stability. However, the response slightly exceeded the Level 2 criteria concerning delay and response times in some conditions. This is documented as , TE-06. TE-06 has been accepted by General Electric Engineering. Tuneup of the flow control loop was also accomplished during Test condition 3. No flow loop response Level 2 criteria could be evaluated due to the noise in the flow signal seen by the computer. Despite the noise, however, it could be seen that the flow response did not diverge. Therefore, Level 1 Criteria was satisfied. TE-07 documents the ({} unanalyzed Level 2 concerns. General Electric Engineering evaluated this and accepted TE-07 primarily due to the inner position control loop (the major contributor to the response) exhibiting acceptable response. During the positive five percent step change with both flow loops in auto at 95% flow, the extrapolated margin to the high neutron flux scram (118%) was 1% versus a Level 2 criteria of 7.5%. This was documented as TE-08 and was resolved by changing the method of testing for later conditions. A 2-3% step with both controllers in auto was recommended and followed for Test Condition 6 testing. The high drive flow limitation of 102.5% was to be set per 1-ST-30C and checked by 1-ST-29. However, adequate data for setting this limiter was not available prior to completing 1-ST-29 at TC-3. TE-09 was written to track this open item and was later resolved when 1-ST-30C was satisfactorily completed. 1 () 3-155
RECIRCULATION FLOtt CONTROL SYSTEM h 1-ST-29 3.31.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Flux loop testing was not performed in order to expedite testing. The Level 1 and Level 2 criteria cannot be satisfied without performing this testing. The Recirculation Flow Control System will not be operated in the Flux Auto mode until this testing has been completed. Test Exception 4 was written to document that this testing was not performed and to create a test package. This test exception remains open. Duty cycle testing was also performed in Test condition 3. Duty cycle testing was accomplished by obtaining steady state flow control valve data with the HPU's locked, the HPU's unlocked and flow controllers in manual, and the HPU's unlocked with the flow controllers in automatic. The duty cycle of both control valves exceeded the Level 2 criteria g of 0.2% Hz. "A" was 1.4% Hz and "B" was 2.6% Hz. This was documented by TE-10 and sent to General Electric Engineering for dispositioning. GE has indicated a need for retesting.
- 4. Test Condition 6 Recirculation Flow Control System test 1-ST-29 was performed in Test Condition 6 between 20 May and 22 May 1986. The results are summarized in Table 3.31-1. Similar testing as Test condition 3 was performed at Test Condition 6 along the 95-100% rod line.

1 l O ==c1=cutar1o= roo co===ot srsr== 1-ST-29 l 3.31.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Position and flow loop testing on 100% rod line was performed for three different flow conditions. Minimum flow on fast speed recirculation pumps, 75% total core flow, and 95% total core flow. The control system settings were not changed from those optimized in TC-3. These recirculation controller dial settings are shown in Table 3.31-2. For the position loop tests, neither flow control valves (FCV) satisfied the response time criteria and FCV A exceeded the delay time criteria as documented in Test Exceptions (TEs) 12 and 13. General Electric Engineering has evaluated these minor violations and has accepted them. At each flow condition, the flow loops were tested by inserting negative and positive flow demand (flow testing) steps. At minimum flow and 75% flow, + 5% T'T steps were performed At 95% flow, + 2.5% steps were
~
k/ used where it was determined necessary in order to provide sufficient margin to a reactor scram. The flow steps were inserted into each loop individually and then both loops simultaneously. The collected data was then analyzed for time response, flow response, and margins to APRM and flow biased scrams. Because the flow transmitters were dampened to quiet the noise in the signals, the measured responses were changed. Therefore, TE-15 was written requesting General Electric Engineering to evaluate the data. TE-15 was dispositioned as acceptable. It also appears that during B loop testing there was a significant overshoot. It was difficult to quantify the overshoot because of the steady state flow oscillations in the B loop. TE-16 was written to document the overshoot problem and has been closed based on General Electric observations. In Test Condition 6, flow loop balancing time testing was to be performed at minimum flow, but was not. This testing was performed previously and it was acceptable net to test again in Test Condition
- 6. TE-14 documents this exception.

RECIRCULATION FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM g 1-ST-29 3.31.2 Discussion (Cont ' d) Flux loop tests on the 100% rod line were not performed in Test Condition 6. TE-17 was written to document this. Administrative controls are in place to ensure that reactor recirculation is not operated in the Master Manual Mode of recirculation flow control until after flux loop testing is properly performed. Duty Cycle and Flux estimator tests on the 100% line were not performed. The flux estimator portion was deleted and was included in TE-17 along with flux loop testing. The Duty Cycle testing was omitted which generated TE-18. Duty Cycle testing is planned to be reperformed. Function generator linearization data was also collected during power ascension to Test Condition 6 a per 1-ST-29. The graphs of valve position versus W drive flow, function generator input versus function generator output, and function generator input versus drive flow show that the maximum incremental gain did not vary by more than 1.67 over the range of data collection. The criteria was for not more than a 2 to 1 gain variance. This satisfied the criteria. r O 3-158

p RECIRC TWO PUMP TRIP G l-sT-30s 3.32 1-ST-30B RECIRC TWO PUMP TRIP 3.32.1 Description The major objective of this test is to record and verify acceptable performance of a recirculation two-pump trip and drive flow coastdown transient. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in subsections 3.32.1.1 and 3.32.1.2. 3.32.1.1 Level 1 Criteria
- 1. The two-pump drive flow coastdown transient during the first 5 seconds must be bounded by the limiting Curves.
3.32.1.2 Level 2 Criteria b-s NONE 3.32.2 Discussion This test was conducted on 7-June-86 as part of Test Condition Power Ascension. The test was initiated by transferring the Recirculation Pumps from high to low speed simultaneously. The ERIS computer was utilized to gather recirculation drive flow data during the time in which the pumps coasted down. The test was initiated from a reactor power of 80% and 100% total core flow. The bounding curves for flow coastdown are derived from tables given in the River Bend Power Station Transient Safety Analysis Design Report. Points to develop the curvec were obtained by interpolating between points in the appropriate tables, based on measured plant recirculation drive flow loop transmitter time constants. O 3-165
~ , RECIRC TWO PUMP TRIP h 1-ST-30B 3.32.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Time zero was determined by taking into account the time delay due to the length of the drive flow transmitter instrument lines. This delay was applied to the time of the high speed breaker opening to establish time zero. Recirculation Pump "B" data failed to fall within the upper (4 second pump inertia time constant) bounding curve at 0.25 seconds. Test Exception 1 was generated to document the failure. The test data was subsequently evaluated by General Electric Engineering, and it was determined that the coastdown characteristic was satisfactory. Data at 0.25 seconds and earlier has low reliability and is not important for transient evaluations. No other test exceptions were generated for this test. The test exception is summarized below.

RECIRCULATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE (Q_/ l-sT-30c 3.33 1-ST-30C RECIRCULATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE 3.33.1 Description A series of recirculation system operating data were recorded during power ascension along constant rod lines (75% and 100%). This data was used as a baseline for key system operating relationships for drive flow versus core flow, drive flow versus; flow control valve position, and core flow versus flow control valve position. This information was used to determine core flow shortfall, drive flow shortfall, core plate differential pressure, recirculation pump efficiency, and to set the maximum drive flow limiter. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.33.1.1 and 3.33.1.2. 3.33.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None 3.33.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. The core flow shortfall shall not exceed 65% at rated power. (Use core flow of 84.5 x 10 lbm/hr at 79% flow control valve position, 3037 gpm/ psi flow control valve Cv).
- 2. The measured core P shall not be 0.6 psi above prediction, using BOL values at rated power and rated core flow. (22.61 psid)
- 3. The drive flow shortfall shall not exceed 5% at rated power. (Evaluate using a pump flow of 30879 gpm or 11.67 x 10 6 lbm/hr (95%) for a flow control valve position of 79%).

RECIRCULATION SYSTEM PERFCRMANCE 1-ST-30C 3.33.1.2 Level 2 Criteria (Cont'd)
- 4. The measured recirculation pump efticiency shall not be more than 8% points below the vendor tested efficiency at rated power and rated flow.
- 5. The flow control system shall be adjusted to limit the maximum core flow to 102.5% of rated.
l 3.33.2 Discussion l l Recirculation system performance data was retrieved with l the reactor operating near the 75% rod line between ( 15-Apr-86 and 29-Apr-86. This was accomplished by i taking a minimum of six data sets over a range of flow control valve positions correlating to 60% - 100% core flow. The only applicable criteria to these conditions was llh l that the maximum flow limiter be set at 102.5%. I However, the data could not be accurately extrapolated to 102.5% flo'w due to a flow control valve position mismatch problem. Test Exception (TE) I was written to reperform the data collection along the 100% rod line after 1-ST-35, Reactor Recirculation System Calibration, had been performed. The maximum flow limiter was set to 102.5% as accurately as possible by averaging the drive flows: Testing to clear TE-1 was performed between 25 May and 2 June 86 along the 100% rod line. At these power and flow conditions all of the acceptance criteria apply. The following results were obtained:
- 1. The core flow shortfall was 3.2%, within the
. 5% criteria. l l l l 3-168

- 2. The drive flow was 4.7%25 design also within the 5% criteria.
- 3. The measured core pressure drop was 21.51 psi, below the criteria of 23.21 psi.
- 4. The recirculation pump efficiency had to be not less than 8% from the vendor tested efficiency of 89% per pump. "A" was 86.3%
efficient and "B" was 85% efficient.
- 5. As with the 75% rod line performance of 1-ST-30C, the maximum flow limiter was not set based on the 100% rod line data because the system calibration had not been completed.
TE-2 was written to document this problem and TE-4 was written to retake data along the 100% (]) rod line for extrapolation to 102.5% core flow. TE-4 was performed on 21 June 1986. The maximum flow limiter was set based on the TE-4 data. TE-2 and TE-4 were resolved accordingly. The only other test exception written against 1-ST-30C was to document the flow control valve mismatch that the recirculation system experiences when the jet pump loop flows are matched. This test exception (TE-3) is being evaluated by General Electric Engineering. O 3-169

O ==c'aco'^o" S'S'=" c^v^o" l-ST-30E 3.34 1-ST-30E RECIRCULATION SYSTEM CAVITATION 3.34.1 Description The purpose of this test is to verify that recirculation system cavitation runback features are adequate to prevent cavitation in the operable range of the power / flow map. Both the jet pumps and the recirculation pumps will cavitate at conditions of high flow and low reactor power where Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) demands are high and little feedwater subcooling occurs. The recirculation system Flow Control Valves (FCV) will cavitate at conditions of high differential pressure and low reactor power (low feedwater subcooling). ( In both of the above cases, flow runback is accomplished by a transfer of the power supply to the recirculation motors from normal power (60Hz) to the low frequency motor generators (15Hz) . The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.34.1.1 and 3.34.1.2. 3.34.1.1 Level 1 Criteria l None 3.34.1.2 Level 2 Criteria Runback logic shall have settings adequate to prevent operation in areas of potential cavitation. 3.34.2 Discussion In Test Condition (TC) 2, the flow control valve (FCV) t cavitation interlock was tested to verify that setpoints were adequate to prevent cavitation of the FCV's. The
- control rods were inserted until ERIS signals indicated that the recirculation pumps transferred to slow speed.
. The actual pump transfers were bypassed. This allowed Os verification that the transfer would occur before any cavitation without actually transferring the pumps, l
3-171
RECIRCULATION SYSTEN CAVITATION g 1-ST-30E 3.34.2 Discussion (Cont'd) This test was initiated at 35% power with FCV's at the minimum position and the recirculation pumps in fast speed. The interlock came in at 3.14 Mlb/hr feed flow. This was later found to be approximately 7% lower than actual as documented in TE-3. Since this is in the conservative direction, acceptance criterion was satisfied. A test exception (TE-1) was written to remove temporary ERIS signals for this test. These sensors have been removed and TE-1 of TC-2 is resolved. TC-3 testing was initiated at about 50% power and 98% core flow. This test was performed to demonstrate that the recirculation system cavitation interlock features are adequate in the operating portion of the power / flow map. No cavitation occurred and no trip actuated upon reaching the lower operating limit allowed by the power / flow map. This adequately completed the test. TE-1 of TC-3 was written to document procedure steps a which could not be performed since no cavitation W interlock was actuated. This TE is closed. TE-2 of TC-3 was written to document the removal of the temporary ERIS signals. These have been removed and TE-2 is closed. TE-3 .was written against 1-ST-30E because a feedwater flow transmitter calibration error was discovered which could have adversely effected these test results. The j error was 7% power lower than actual which turns out to be a conservative adjustment, placing the interlock even , farther below the operating region of the power / flow l map. I ! Since the interlock never actually initiated, actual values were not measured. The interlocks nominal setpoints are 8.6 degrees F difference between the steam dome and recirculation pump suction temperatures or a low feedwater flow of 3.1 Mlbm/hr. Again, the only acceptance criteria was that the runback logic shall have adequate settings to prevent operating in areas of potential cavitation and this was satisfied in TC-2 and TC-3.

Subsections 3.35.1.1 and 3.35.1.2 list the applicable acceptance criteria. 3.35.1.1 Level 1 Criteria
- 1. The Reactor Protection System, the diesel-generators, and HPCS must function properly without manual assistance, and HPCS and/or RCIC system action, if necessary, shall keep the reactor water- level above the initiation level of Low O Pressure Core Spray, LPCI, and Automatic Depressurization.
- 2. If any safety / relief valves open, no more than one valve shall reopen after the first blowdown.
- 3. Reactor pressure is maintained below the set point of the first safety valve, during the transient following the loss of the main generator and all offsite power.
3.35.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. Proper instrument display to the reactor operator shall be demonstrated, including power monitors, pressure, water level, control rod position, suppression pool temperature, and reactor cooling
! system status. Displays shall not be dependent on l instrumentation specially installed for this test. l . O i 3-174 l
LOSS OF OFFSITE POtfER 1-ST-31 3.35.1.2 Level 2 Criteria (Cont'd)
- 2. If the low-low set pressure relief logic functions, the open/close actions of the SRV's shall occur within i 15 psi and i 20 psi of their design setpoints, respectively.
- 3. If safety / relief valves open, the temperature measured by thermocouples on the discharge side of the safety / relief valves must return to within 10 degrees F of the temperature recorded before the valve was opened.
- 4. Reactor cooling systems are able to maintain adequate suppression pool temperature and maintain adequate drywell cooling to prevent actuation of high drywell pressure signal to the ADS system.
- 5. The maximum Reactor Pressure is more below the first safety valve setpoint.
than 40 psi lll 3.35.2 Discussion 1-ST-31 was initiated in Test Condition 1 on 6-Dec-85. The reactor was in the Startup mode at 12% power with the turbine generator on line. A loss of offsite power was initiated by tripping the turbine generator with house loads supplied off the normal service transformers with the preferred transformers locked out to prevent auto transfer. The reactor scrammed within one second from high APRM flux (15% in Startup mode) caused by the resultant pressure transient. Pressure rose from 950 psig initial to 1020 psig, approximately seven and one-half minutes into the transient. The minimum (narrow range) water level was 10 inches, occurring approximately 30 seconds after the scram. The level 1 and 2 criteria concerning SRV's and HPCS/RCIC were therefore satisfied. Only one abnormality was observed during the transient which resulted in a level one failure. O 3-175
LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER l-ST-31 3.35.2 Discussion (Cont'd) TE-01 was written to document the problem. A 3 second time difference in the standby diesels energizing their busses resulted in one control building chiller (HVK*P1A) not starting. This caused the DIV I diesel to fail the criteria to have all of its sequenced loads cycle onto its bus. Extensive troubleshooting and analysis determined that both diesels functioned as designed and that starting time differences can be accounted for due to inherent differences with the two machines and associated support systems. (e.g. starting air pressure). Determination of the conditions for which two chiller operation would be required has been made. Results indicated that one division of control building chilled water is acceptable for at least the first 20 minutes of operation after which operator action may be required. Safe shutdown of the plant on loss of offsite power was not compromised. TE-01 is O' resolved and is summarized below. All applicable criteria were satisfied. l i O 3-176
LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER 1-ST-31 TE DESCRIPTION STATUS 1 The division i diesel failed to Closed properly sequence one of its loads (HVK*P1A) onto the bus. The failure to start was due to the system logic and the 3 second time differences between the divisions. Chill water flow (due to
!!VK* PIB) had already come up above the low flow setpoint before the "A" division chiller was reenergized. Thus, HVK*P1A did not start because the low flow signal was never seen. This was determined safe for 20 minutes which is adequate time for operator action.

DRYWELL PIPING VIBRATION 1-ST-33 i 3.36 1-ST-33 DRYWELL PIPING VIBRATION 1 3.36.1 Description The purpose of this test is to verity that the General Electric supplied piping (Recirculation, portions of Main Steam and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) steam piping) steady state vibration is within acceptable limits and to verify that, during operating l transient loads, pipe stresses are within code limits. Vibration testing on other piping is covered under 1-ST-100. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown l in Subsections 3.36.1.1 and 3.36.1.2 3.36.1.1 Level 1 Criteria () Level steady 1 limits on piping displacements and strains for state and transient vibration testing are contained in Table 3.36-1 and 3.36-2 respectively. 3.36.1.2 Level 2 Criteria Level 2 limits on piping displacements and strains for steady state and transient vibration testing are contained in Table 3.36-1 and 3.36-2 respectively. Main Steam, Reactor Recirculation, RHR and RCIC piping were monitored for vibration using lanyard potentiometers and strain gages during steady state and transient plant conditions throughout the testing program. The ERIS computer system was used to statistically analyze the displacement and strain data and calculate peak to peak displacement and strain values for each lanyard potentiometer and strain gage.

DRYWELL PIPING VIBRATION 1-ST-33 3.36.2 Discussion Recirculation piping was monitored for steady state vibration at minimum, intermediate and maximum stable preoperational flows during the hot recirculation preop 1-PT-53. During power ascension testing, recirculation piping was monitored at minimum flow, 50% of rated, 75% of rated, and 100% of rated flow. RHR piping was to be monitored during the Shutdown Cooling mode of operation. But the data was not obtained due to a ERIS computer failure. This is documented in Test Exception 18. Main Steam piping steady state vibration was monitored at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of rated steam flow. RCIC steady state vibration was checked during the performance of 1-ST-14, RCIC system testing, at maximum flow conditions. Transient vibration for the recirculation piping was monitored during pump transfer to high speed and pump trip to LFMG and during 1-ST-27, Generator Load lll Rejection. l Transient vibration for Main Steam piping was monitored l during Main Turbine trip at 8.5% power (Test Condition l One), Generator Load Rejection (1-ST-27), and Relief Valve Testing (1-ST-26). Table 3.36-3 summarizes the data taken for steady state vibration at 100% power, transient vibration during the Generator Load Rejection at 100% power, and individual relief valve operation. During the performance of this test, there was a number of criteria violations and test exceptions encountered. I A summary of the test exceptions written during 1-ST-33 follows. All test exceptions have been resolved. The criteria violations were evaluated and found acceptable by General Electric Engineering. 9 l 3-179 1

RECIRCULATION SYSTEM FLOW CALIBRATION 1-ST-35 3.37.2 Discussion Recirculation System Flow Calibration, 1-ST-35, was performed in Test Conditions, TC-3 and TC-6 at River Bend Station. In TC-3, this test was performed at 70% power and 100% core flow with recirculation system drive flows matched. The TC-6 testing was conducted at 97% power and 98% core flow with jet pump loop flows matched. The TC-6 configuration with jet pump loop flows matched was a better configuration. The flow instrumentation indicate that with drive flows matched, the jet pump loop flows are mismatched. It is preferred to match jet pump loop flows as dictated by plant Technical Specifications. The flow mismatch situation is currently under investigation by General Electric Engineering (Refer to Section 3.33). The purpose of 1-ST-35 was to completely calibrate the recirculation system flow instrumentation. O This accomplished by collecting recirculation system data at near rated conditions and processing that data through was the offline Mark III computer program JRPump. JKpump is a computer program that accesses a plant specific data file to calculate recirculation system parameters using additional input data supplied by this test. The program consists of two sub programs JPump and RPump. JPump bases its calculations on jet pump flow and elbow tap flow, while RPump utilizes head curves. The results of the JRPump calculations were compared to acceptance criteria and used to adjust the APRM flow unit gains, jet pump loop flow summer gains, and the recirculation flow control system drive flow signal inputs. Calculations were also performed to determine nozzle and riser plugging criteria, bottom head drain to recirculation loop temperature differences, and process computer accuracy. The results are shown in Table 3.37-1. O 3-188
RECIRCULATION SYSTEM FLOW CALIBRATION h 1-ST-35 Notice that the APRM flow bias gain adjustment factor (GAF) criteria was changed for TC-6. (The GAF is basically a ratio of indicated flow to actual (JRPUMP) flow and is applied to the signal output) . That was done because the method being employed left the process computer (and flow bias input values for core flow), slightly higher than actual core flow. The desired as left condition was to have the indicated flow slightly less than or equal to actual flow. This results in a more conservative thermal limit evaluation and flow biased trip setpoint. In any case, the maximum deviation was less than or equal to 2%. Table 3.37-1 is the result of three interations of running 1-ST-35 in both TC-3 and TC-6. The test was performed this way to verify that the GAF's were applied to the APRM flow units and jet pump summer properly. After the TC-3 testing was completed, jet pump 19 was ggg recalibrated resulting in Test Exception (TE) 1. TE-2 was written before TC-6 testing began because the drive flow transmitters were adjusted to dampen the noise in the signals. There were three TE's written against the TC-6 results package. The GAF for APRM flow unit D was calculated to be 0.99 which was below the minimum required of 1.00 resulting in TE-3. Based on this the gain was adjusted slightly, but a new GAF has not been calculated. TE-4 was written to document that the process computer core flow reads 2.09% less than the JRPump calculated core flow. The desired condition is to be within 2.0%. This TE is acceptable since the error is conservative and the TE has been closed. TE-5 was written because a procedural step, requiring the recirculation flow control system drive signal inputs to be adjusted, was not performed at the time that the test was performed. This TE has cince been resolved by adjusting the signals. Similar core flow calibrations checks will be done periodically using the appropriate plant procedures, a The following is a listing of the Test Exceptions W generated during 1-ST-35 and their status as of July 21, 1986. 3-189

The reactor water Non-Regenerative Heat Exchanger (NRHX) outlet temperature was monitored during normal and blowdown operation to assure adequate Reactor Planu Component Cooling Water (RPCCW) cooling to prevent resin damage. Subsections 3.38.1.1 and 3.38.1.2 list the applicable acceptance criteria. 3.38.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None 3.38.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. The temperature at the tube side outlet of the NRHX's shall not exceed 130 degrees F in the blowdown mode and shall not exceed 120 degrees F in the normal mode.
3.38.2 Discussion The Reactor Water Cleanup System test was performed at 4% power starting 24-Nov-85 at River Bend 1. The Reactor Water Cleanup System (RWCU) test has two sections: (1) Normal Operation and (2) Blowdown Operation. The normal operation section of the test was used to establish the relationship between maximum RWCU
. flow through the Regenerative Heat Exchangers (RHX's) and maintaining NRHX outlet temperature to less than 120 degrees F. The blowdown section was used to establish the maximum obtainable blowdown flow without exceeding !
130 degrees F at the NRHX's outlet temperature. , i Q 3-192
-_..r._- . . .
REACTOR WATER CLEANUP SYSTEM h 1-ST-70 3.38.2 Discussion (Cont'd) The normal operation section was performed by throttling open the RWCU outlet to the RHX's (Valve F042) while maintaining the NRHX's outlet temperature below 120 degrees F by throttling open the reactor plant closed cooling water to the NRHX's. This was continued until either the F042 valve was fully open or the RWCU flow exceeded 329 gpm. The results are shown in Table 3.38-1. The blowdown operation section was performed by throttling the blowdown flow until one of the following condi tions was met:
- 1. Flow controller wide open
- 2. RWCU NRHX's outlet temperature exceeds 130 degrees F. g
- 3. RPCCW outlet temperature from the NRHX's reaches 180 degrees F.
The results of the blowdown testing are shown in Table 3.38-1. Test Exception 1 (TE) was written to document the level 2 criteria concern that the NRHX outlet temperature exceeded 130 degrees F during the blowdown portion of this test. However, the NRHX outlet temperature was observed to be less than 130 degrees F at a RWCU flow of 130 gpm. So, by restricting blowdown operation to below 130 gpm the NRHX outlet temperature is assured of staying below 130 degrees F. This TE is summarized below and has been resolved. 9 1 3-193

3.39 1-ST-71 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM 3.39.1 Description The major objective of this test is to demonstrate that the RHR system is capable of removing residual and decay heat from the reactor at the design capacity derived from the information on the process diagram. l l The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.39.1.1 and 3.39.1.2. 3.39.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None 3.39.1.2 Level 2 Criteria

3.39.2 Discussion The Shutdown Cooling (SDC) mode of the RHR system was demonstrated following a plant scram for the "A" and "B" RHR loops at Test Condition 6 on May 30, 1986. Temperatures and flows were recorded using ERIS. This data was used to calculate the RHR heat exchanger capacities (see Table 3.39-1) which met the acceptance criteria of at least 116.5 MBTU/HR~per loop with two loops operating. 3-196

I () OFF-GAS SYSTEM l-ST-74 3.40 1-ST-74 OFF-GAS SYSTEM 3.40.1 Description The purpose of this test is to verify the proper operation of the Off-Gas System over its expected parameters. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.40.1.1 and 3.40.1.2. 3.40.1.1 Level 1 Criteria Flow of dilution steam to the non condensing stage must not fall below 92% of the specified normal value when the steam jet air ejectors are operating. 3.40.1.2 Level 2 Criteria N The system flow, pressure, temperature, and dew point shall comply with the design specification and design specification data sheet supplied to the site. The catalytic recombiner, the hydrogen analyzer, and the desiccant dryers shall comply with the design specification. 3.40.2 Discussion 1-ST-74 testing was conducted while at steady-state conditions during heatup and at Test condition 2 and 6. All applicable Level I criteria were satisfied at each testing level. Because several parameters were outside the system design specifications, not all of the applicable Level 2 criteria were met. The off-gas system parameter results are listed in Table 3.40-1. The overall conclusion is that the off-gas system is capable of performing it's design function. Throughout the test program, excessive off-gas flow (greater than 60 SCFM - twice the design flow rate of 30 SCFM) resulted from excessive main condenser inleakage. In addition, equipment problems prevented testing of several system components, such as the "B/D" Dryer Train O 3-199
OFF-GAS SYSTEM l-ST-74 3.40.2 Discussion (Cont'd) and the Hydrogen Analysers. In the Heatup Test Condition, on 11/22/85, the off gas system was initially placed in service. Test data (Startup flow) was taken at this time and compared against limits given in the Design Specification Data Sheets. This data showed that the majority of system parameters were within the limits specified. Test Exception TE-01 was written against these parameters (six) which fell outside the Level 2 limits. On 11/24/85, with the off-gas system in service and the reactor at rated pressure and temperature, data was taken on off-gas system parameters. TE-02 was written due to the off-gas system having higher flow than specified in the prerequisites (170 SCFM vs. 30 SCFM). ggg TE-03_was written because the "B" Hydrogen Analyzer was inoperable. However, proper operation of the "A" Hydrogen Analyzer was demonstrated and the hydrogen content of the process stream was measured to be 0.1%. Desiccant Dryer data was taken for 72 hours on the "B" dryer. However, TE-04 was written due to the fact that two (2) dryers were on line during the entire data collection due to the high off-gas flow. The normal system line-up calls for only one dryer in service. TE-05 was written against the eight (8) parameters which failed to meet the Level 2 limits. During Test Condition 2, Off-gas System parameters were checked with the Reactor operating at 10-55% power. System flow had decreased from 170 SCFM, as measured in the Heatup Test Condition, to 105 SCFM. The majority of system parameters were again within their design values. TE-07 was written due to several parameters in addition to the system flow being outside of the specified limits. O 3-200
h OFF-GAS SYSTEM 1-ST-74 3.40.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Hydrogen Analyzer performance data was taken after the initial system parameter data was taken. During the interval between the two data collections, power was increased to 13%, which was outside of the specified initial condition of 10% (+/-l%) power. TE-08 was written to document this discrepancy and was subsequently closed out as having negligible effect on the Hydrogen Analyzer Data. Desiccant Dryer Performance Data was taken for Off-gas Dryer "C". TE-06 was written against the failure to satisfactorily test Dryer "C". Test Exception 9 was written as Test Condition 3. Off-gas testing was not conducted, due to the high off-gas flow. O During Test Condition 6, Off-gas system parameters were chocked with the reactor operating at 96% power. Due to the problem with excessive system flow (TE-10), a steam leak on B SJAE (TE-12), H2 Analyzer "A" inoperable (TE-13), desiccant dryer skid "A" in manual operation (TE-ll), and dryer skid "B" shutdown for maintenance, only testing on dryer bed "C" and Hydrogen Analyzer "B" was completed. The Dryer Bed "C" was put in service for 72 hours and the exit gas dew point was maintained below -110 degrees F for the duration of the test. The recombiner "A" performance was validated as the Hydrogen concentration in the recombiner effluent was 0%, which is less the 0.1% acceptance criteria. Hydrogen Analyzer "B" performance was verified during its calibration cycle. The following list summarizes the test exceptions for 1-ST-74 along with the status as of 15-Jul-86. O 3-201

] LOOSE PARTS MONITORING SYSTEM 1-ST-94 3.41.1 Description The purpose of this test is to obtain normal operating back-ground data for integration with the Loose Parts Monitoring System preoperation test data in establishing the overall system sensitivity. There are no Level 1 or Level 2 criteria associated with this test.
3.41.2 Discussion The Loose Parts Monitoring System test, 1-ST-94, was per-formed at four different test conditions at River Bend 1. Test Condition (TC) Open Vessel, TC Heatup, TC-3, and TC-6. At each condition, data was collected by accessing the inter-face module of the Loose Parts Monitor panel. Here, each sensor was selected and a copy of each drawing display was plotted with the measured RMS value recorded on it. This process was repeated for each of the eight sensors. TC Open Vessel was performed on 1 Oct 85 with a moderator Os temperature of 100 Deg. F. This subtest was used as a verification of the initial high level alarm settings with the plant at its minimum noise level. the results were satisfactory. The RMS values are shown in Table 3.41-1. The TC Heatup section of 1-ST-94 was performed at 3% power on 23 Nov 85 and recorded operational noise levels in the reactor at minimum operating conditions: reactor recirc-ulation pumps were in slow speed and reactor water cleanup was in operation. Channel 2 was inoperativt and changes were made to the Automatic Gain Control. This generated TE-01. The RMS values are shown in Table 3.41-1. 1-ST-94 was performed again at TC-3 with 85% core flow and at 65% power on 22 April 86. channel 2 still had a defective connection so it was not recorded. All other data was recorded successfully. The RMS values are shown in Table 3.41-1. The TC-6 data was recorded at 100% core flow with reactor power at 98% on 8 May 86. Channel 2 was still inoperable at that time. The RMS values are shown on Table 3.41-1. Because the Channel 2 remained inoperative through TC6, TE-02 ) was written and incorporated TE-01. TE-02 has been performed () for TC Open Vessel and Heatup, but is still open for TC-3 and TC-6. I i 3-207

1-ST-95 v) 3.42.2 Discussion (Cont'd) Certain constants required for Basic ERIS were originally supplied as "best estimates." These constants were recalculated / redefined at various plant conditions them based on plant specific values. The classes of constants recalculated were:
- 1. Reactor Vessel Temperature Constants
- 2. Reactor Level Constants
- 3. Reactor Power Constants
- 4. Core Flow Constants The core flow constants could not be recalculated due to 1-ST-35 not being completed. TE-05 was written to perform this recalculation when 1-ST-35 is satisfactorily completed and required plant conditions are met.
O Basic ERIS Event Indicators were verified at various times throughout the test program. Testing was originally satisfied using controlled simulated inputs to verify the respective event indicators. Each of the event indicators was then shown to function properly during actual plant events. The Basic ERIS event indicators tested were: EVENT INDICATOR EVENT Diesel Generator (DG) Not Operating Command Operating Safety Relief Valve (SRV) Shut Open Stuck open Scram No scram Rods out Command All rods in Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) Open Command l Shut O 3-212 l
EMERGENCY RESPONSE INFORMATION SYSTEM 1-ST-95 3.42.2 Discussion (Cont ' d) All Basic ERIS validated parameters were verified throughout the test program at various plant conditions. Final verification for those affected by constant recalculation was not completed until these values were determined. A particular validated parameter is determined using the following routine:
- 1. All measured analog signals for a particular parameter that are within the prescribed operating limits are averaged.
- 2. Only those measured analog signals within two standard deviations of the average are then again averaged.
- 3. If the number of measured analog signals within two standard deviations of the original average is more than a prescribed minimum required, (generally two) then the second average is considered a validated average, otherwise, the second average is a not-validated average.
The Basic ERIS validated parameters tested were:
- 1. Reactor Pressure
- 2. Reactor Level
- 3. Reactor Power
- 4. RPV Temperature
- 5. Drywell Pressure
- 6. Drywell Temperature
- 7. Containment Pressure O
3-213

- 8. Containment Temperature
- 9. Suppression Pool Temperature
- 10. Suppression Pool Level
- 11. Reactor Core Flow Associated with validated parameter displays are static and dynamic limit tags. These function to provide a marker on trend display to indicate significant limits for that parameter (e.g. technical specification limits for reactor level scram setpoint, drywell temperature and suppression pool level). In the testing of validated parameters these limit tag values were all verified to be correct based upon current setpoints.
() ERIS Scram Timing Analysis was veritied throughout the test program. Following the CRD data base verification, the CRD hardware / software timing interface was verified. A control rod input to each of the scram timing input modules was scram timed simultaneously using a Visicorder and ERIS. Using the Visicorder as the standard, ERIS scram times to notch position 43, 29 and 13 were verified to be within 10 ms of those from the Visicorder. During actual RPS scrams during plant operation the ERIS scram timing analysis programs and output edits were verified. It was not possible to verify hardware timing and scram time analysis software simultaneously due to failure of scram time analysis functions. This was recorded as TE-01 and resolved by performing the scram time analysis software verification after resolving the software problem. During hardware testing of input modules, it was found that modules SD-6, SD-8 and SD-9 fell outside the required criteria of 10 ms and resulted in TE-02. It was determined based upon Visicorder accuracy and ERIS sampling interval, that no discrepancy from the criteria actually existed and TE-02 was closed. During hardware testing Scram Timing Input module SD-10 was found to be failed. TE-03 was written to retest this module (SD-10) after it was _ replaced. This TE remains open. V 3-214

3.44.2 Discussion The thermal expansion testing of the piping systems listed in Table 3.44-1 was done where possible, in conjuction with other heatup testing of that system. , Each system was walked down at ambient (70 deg. - 120 deg. F) to check for thermal interferences and to satisfy snubber PSI requirements. Additionally, systems which exceeded 250 deg. F in operating temperature were walked down again at reactor recirculation temperatures of 300 deg i 50 deg. F, normal operating (500 deg. 50 deg. F), and return to ambient (70 deg. - 120 deg. 1 F). At the walkdown plateaus, readings were taken to verify there were no restraints to thermal expansien, all spring hangers and snubbers were performing as nominally O expected and the pipe was expanding as expected. At selected locations remote displacements were recorded by lanyard potentiometers connected to ERIS. Scribers were also used to obtain piping displacement data. Snubbers were checked to verify expected thermal movement and adequate swing clearance. Also, snubbers were inspected to verify there are no visible signs of damage or impaired operability as a result of storage, handling, or installation. I l The major exception (TE-21) to the testing was the l Reactor Water Cleanup (WCS) " Ring Header" located in the i drywell. During heatup the piping could not expand, as designed, due to friction interferences between the piping guides and the pipe clamps. A design modification is in progress to clear this problem.

3.45 1-ST-103 DRYWELL COOLING l 3.45.1 Description The major objective of this test is to verify the ability of the Drywell Cooling System to maintain the Drywell below the limits specified in the Plant Technical Specifications and the ability of the Containment Cooling System to maintain the Containment below the limits specified in the Plant Technical Specifications. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.45.1.1 and 3.45.1.2. 1 3.45.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None 3.45.1.2 Level 2 Criteria
- 1. The Drywell Air Temperature O below the limit is maintained at or specified by Technical Specifications, that states, Drywell average air temperature shall not exceed 140 degrees F.
- 2. The Containment Air Temperature is maintained at or below the limit specified by Technical Specifications that states, Primary Containment Average Air Temperature shall not exceed 90 degrees F. .
3.45.2 Discussion Drywell and Containment Temperatures were measured during three test conditions (Heatup, TC-3, TC-6) using permanent plant instrumentation. The temperatures were averaged according to Technical Specifications and compared to the specified limits. All acceptance criteria were met.

ERYWELL COOLING l-ST-103 O TE DESCRIPTION STATUS 1 Reactor temperature was only above 500 Closed degrees F for 36 hours prior to test-ing, violating the initial condition which requires the reactor temperature to be above 500 degrees F for 3 con-secutive days prior to testing. Accept as is, since Drywell temperature is changing by less than 2 degrees F/ hour and is therefore stable. 2 One suppression pool temperature RTD is Closed failed. Accept as is, since this signal is not required for criteria evalua-tion. 3 A prerequisite to this test requires the reactor temperature to be above 500 Closed lll degrees F at test condition 3 for three consecutive days prior to testing. The reactor was above 500 degrees F for three days, but was only in the TC-3 window tor approximately eight hours prior to testing. The Drywell temperature stabilized around 123 degrees F. Accept as is since the average Drywell temperature calculated for the test is 123 degrees F showing Drywell stabilization in TC-3. O 3-240 1

ESF AREA COOLING 7x 1-ST-104 U 3.46 1-ST-104 ESF AREA COOLING 3.46.1 Description The major objective of this test is to verify the ability of the RHR and RCIC room ventilation to maintain room temperatures below those required in BWR Equipment Environmental Interface Data Specification during equipment operation. Ambient temperatures in the LPCS, HPCS, RHR, and RCIC rooms will also be measured at 50% power and 100% power to insure the normal temperature limits are not exceeded. The acceptance criteria applied to this test are shown in Subsections 3.46.1.1, 3.46.1.2, and 3.46.1.3. 3.46.1.1 Level 1 Criteria None 3.46.1.2 Level 2 Criteria None 3.46.1.3 Level 3 Criteria
- 1. At 50% (nominal) and 100% (nominal) of rated thermal power the RCIC room, RHR rooms, LPCS room and HPCS room environments will be less than or equal to 90 degrees in the vicinity of the major equipment when the major equipment is not in service.
- 2. The RCIC room and RHR rooms will not exceed a temperature of 122 degrees F, as indicated on the sensors at the elevation of the major equipment, during operation of major equipment.
3.46.2 Discussion During heatup, on November 24, 1985, RCIC room temperatures were measured in conjunction with 1-ST-14, RCIC System, extended operation demonstration at 15 minute intervals using local permanent and temporary temperature indicators. The maximum temperature measured at the elevation of the major equipment was 93 degrees F which is less than the criteria value of 122 degrees F. 3-242
i ESF AREA COOLING l-ST-104 O During Test Condition 3, RHR, RCIC, LPCS, and HPCS room temperatures were taken with locally installed temporary temperature indicators and ESF area temperature records, to determine ambient room temperatures under normal conditions. HPCS, LPCS, and RHR temperatures were all below the Level 3 criteria of 90 degrees F, while the RCIC exceeded this value by 7 degrees F. TE-1 documents this violation. This Test Exception has been evaluated and accepted by General Electric Engineering. During Test Condition 6, RHR room temperatures were taken while in shutdown cooling mode at 15 minute intervals using permanent temperature indicators. The maximum temperature recorded was 97 degrees F. which meets the specified criteria of 122 degrees F. Local temperature indicators were not monitored at the specified 15 minute intervals due to prohibitive high radiation levels in these areas. TE-3 documents this. One set of local temperature readings was recorded at all levels of rooms "A" and "B". The maximum reading was 90 degrees F near the completion of the run. This meets the specified criteria. Temperatures were also recorded for the HPCS, LPCS, RCIC, RHR A, RHR B, and RHR C rooms during normal conditions (equipment not in service). For the RCIC room, the maximum temperature was 112 degrees F which exceeds the Level 3 criteria of 90 degrees F. This is documented by TE-2. The following is a list of test exceptions for 1-ST-104 along with the status as of 15-Jul-86. TE Description Status 1 RCIC room temperature exceeds Level 3 Closed criteria of 90 degrees F. 2 Measured ESF room temperatures in the Open HPCS, RCIC, RHR A, RHR B, RHR C exceed Level 3 criteria of 90 degrees F. Evaluation being performed by General Electric Engineering 3 Local temperature indicators in the RHR Closed "A" and "B" rooms were not monitored at the specified 15 minutes intervals due to prohibitive high radiation levels in these areas. Readings taken at the end of the run met the criteria. 3-243
