. BASES 3/4.4.4 PRESSURI7RR l A steam bubble in the pressurizer ensures that the RCS is not a hydraulically solid system and is -capable of accommodating pressure surges during operation. The steam bubble also protects the pressurizer code safety valves and pilot operated relief valve against water relief.
The low level limit is based on providing enough water volume to prevent a reactor coolant system low pressure condition that would actuate the Reactor Protection System or the Safety Feature Actuation System 'Ihe high level limit is based on providing enough steam volume to prevent a pressurizer high twel as a result of any transient.
. The pilot operated relief valve and steam bubble function to relieve RCS pressure during all design transients. Operation of the pilot operated relief valve mhlmizes the undesirable opening of the spring-loaded pressurizer code safety valves.
3/4.4.5 STEAM OENERATORS
' The Surveillance Requirements for inspection of the steam generator tubes ensure that the structural integrity of this poition of the RCS will be maintained. The program for inservice inspection of steam generator tubes is based on a modification of Regulatory Guide 1.83, Revision 1. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing is essential in order to maintain surveillance of the conditions of the tubes in the event that there is evidence of mechanical damage or progressive degradation due to design, manufactr:ing errors, or inservice conditions . that lead to corrosion. Inservice inspection of steam generator tubing also provides a means of characterizing the nature and cause of any tube degradation so that corrective measures can be taken. A process equivalent to the inspection method described in Topical Report BAW-2120P - will be used for inservice inspection of steam generator tube sleeves. This inspection will .
pm.'ide ensurance of RCS integrity. Tiie plant is expected to be operated in a manner such that the seconda:y coolant will be maintained within those chemistry limits found to result in negligible corrosion of the steam
- generator tubes, if the secondary coolant chemistry is not maintained within these chemissy.
1 limits, le Jized corrosion may likely result in stress corrosion cracking. -The extent of cracking during plaut operation would be limited by the limitation of steam generator tube leakage between the primary coolant system and the secondary coolant system (primary-to-secondary leakage = 150 GPD thmnoh any ane s'eMD.Esaggg4-GPM). Cracks having a primary-to-secomlary leakage less than this limit during operation will have an ad:quate margin of safety to withstand the loads imposed during normal DAVIS-BESSE, UNIT 1 B 3/4 4-2 Amendment No. 135,171, l

- 16 i Pago32 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES (Continued) operation and by postulated accidents. Operating plants have demonstrated that primary-to-secondary leakage of 150 GPD 4GPM can be detected by monitoring the secondary coolant.
Leakage in excess of this limit will require plant shutdown and an unscheduled inspection, during which the leaking tubes will be locate i and plugged or repaired by reoair rolline or sleeving in the affected areas. Wastage-type defects are unlikely with proper chemistry treatment of the secondary coolent. However, even if a defect should develop in service, it will be found during scheduled inservice steam generator tube examinations. As described in Topical Report BAW-2120P, degradation as small as 20% through wall can be detected in all areas of a tube sleeve except for the roll expanded areas and the sleeve end, where the limit of detectability is 40% through wah. Tubes with imperfections exceeding the repair limit of 40% of the nominal wall thickness will be plugged or repaired by reoair rolline or sleeving the affected areas. Davis-Besse will evaluate, and as approprice implement, better testing methods which are developed and validat ,d for commercial use so as to enable detection of degradation as small as 20% through w~all without exception. Until such time as 20% penetration can be detected in the roll expanded areas and the sleeve end, inspection results will be compared to those cPained during the baseline sleeved tube inspection. An additional reoair method for decraded steam cenerator tubes consists of rerollino the tubeliD the unoer tubesheet to create a new roll area _and oressure boundarv for the tube. The reoair roll orocess will ensure that the area of decradnion will not serve as a cressure boundarv. thus oermittine the +2he to remain in service. The decraded area of the tube can be excluded from future oeriodic insocction reauirements because it is no loncer oart of the cressure bcundary once gg,Igpeir roll is installed in the unoer tubesheet. All tubes which have been reoaired usine the renair roll orocess will have the new roll area jginggfed durine the inservice insucction. Defective ordecraded tube indications found in the new roll area as a rgsult of the insocction of the recair roll and any indications found in the originally rolled recion of the rerolled tube need not be included in determinine the Insoection Results Catecorv for the ceneral steam cenerator insocction. Thqlgonir ro!1 orocess will be oerformed only once oer steam cenerator tube usine a 1 inch reroll lencth as described in the Tonical Renort BAW-2303P. Revision 3. Thus. multiole acolications of the rerolline orocess to any individual tube is not accentable. The new roll areunust be free of decradation in order for the reoair to be considered accentable. After the new roll a ea is initially deemed accentable. future decradation in the new roll area will be analyzed to determine jf the tube is defective and needs to be removed from service. The rerolline orocess is described ig the Toolcal Reoort BAW-2303P. Revision 3. DAVIS-BESSE, UNIT I B 3/4 4-3 Amendment No. 171,184,192,

LAR97-0016 Page 33 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM a BASES (Continued) Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inscrylce inspection fall into Category C-3, these results shall be reported to the Commission prior to resumption of plant operation. - Such cases will be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory exanunations, tests, additional eddy-cunent inspection, and a revision of tl'c Technical Specifications, if ne,:essary. 4 The steam generator waar level limits are consistent with the initial assumptions in the USAR.
- While in MODE 3, examples of Main Feedwater Pumps that are incapable of supplying feedwater to the Steam Generators are tripped pumps or a manual valve closed in the discharge j flowpath. The reactivity requirements to ensure adequate SIIUTDOWN MARGIN are provided in plant operating procedures.

l PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE of any magnitude is unacceptable since it may be indicative of an impending gross failure of the pressure boundary herefore, the presence of any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE requires the Unit to be promptly placed in COLD SHUTDOWN. Industry experience has shown that, while a limited amount ofleakage is expected from the RCS, the UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE portion of this can be reduced to a threshold value ofless that 1 GPM. His threshold value is sufTiciently low to ensure early detection of additional leakage. The total-steam generator tube icakage limit of 150 GPD_thropoh any one 4-GPM fer an steam generators ensures that the dosage contribution from tube leakage will be limited to a small fraction of 10 CFR Part 100 lindts in the event of either a steam generator tube rupture or steam line break. ,A-ne-1 GPM total nrimary to secondary leakaoe limit is :: it:: cid i: x =nption: used in the analysis of these accidents. The 10 GPM IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limitation provides allowance for a limited amount ofleakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere with tiie detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the leakage detection systems, ne CONTROLLED LEAKAGE limit of 10 GPM restricts operation with a total RCS leakage from all RC pump seals in excess of 10 GPM. The sarveillance requirements for RCS Pressure Isolation Valves provice added assurance of valve integrity th:reby reducing the probability of gross valve failure and consequent intersystem LOCA Leakage from the RCS Pressure Isolation Valves is IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and will be considered as a portion of the allowed limit.
