SD-059 PRESSURIZER SYSTEM 5.1.1 PZR Pressure Control (PZR-Figure 6 & PZR-Figure
- 7) PZR Pressure control is accomplished via pressure controller PC-444A which is a Proportional
+ Integral controller; the Derivative section has been defeated.
This means the controller develops an output signal that is determined by how far pressure is from setpoint (Proportional) and how long the pressure has been away from setpoint (Integral).
PT -444 sends a pressure signal to PC-444A which is compared to the pressure setpoint developed by PC:-444J which is controlled on the RTGB. PC-444J is a Hagan Auto station with a 10 turn pot capable of developing a control setpoint over the entire pressure range of PT -444. PT -444 ranges from 2500 to 1700 psig therefore PC-444J is capable of 800 psi range of control. For Example if the operator desires the controller to maintain normal pressure of 2235 psig the pot setting would be determined as follows: 2235 -1700
- 10 = 6.69 on the 10 turn pot. 800 The output of PC-444J (setpoint signal) is sent to PC-444A to be compared to the actual pressure.
PC-444A has a gain of 2 which effectively cuts in half the range of control of PZR pressure to 400 psi around the setpoint determined by PC-444J. The controller output is then directed to the proportional heaters, spray valves via controllers PC-444C and PC-444D, backup heaters, PZR PORV 456 and PI-458 and is displayed on the meter on PC-444J The components operated by PC-444A operate at a fixed deviation from setpoint or controller output as observed on the meter on PC-444J, no matter what setpoint is dialed in on PC-444J. For example the backup heaters are set to turn on 25 psi below set pressure.
If set pressure is 2235 psig, their setpoint would be 2210 psig and the control output when they came on would be as follows: 2210-2035 400 = .4375 or 43.75% demand If the pot on PC-444J were then set at 6.25 this would give a set pressure of 2200 psig. When the output of PC-444A was at 43.75% the backup heaters would come on, pressure would be 2175 psig; 25 psi below set pressure.
The setpoints normally listed for heater, spray, and PCV -456 setpoints are based on a set pressure of 2235 psig where PC-444J is normally set. As stated before, PC-444A is a Proportional
+ Integral controller, therefore controller output may not correspond exactly to the pressure monitored by the operator.
If pressure is away from setpoint for an extended period of time the controller output may satunite while increasing its output trying to return pressure to setpoint.

Ensure LCO 3.S.4, RWST OPERABILITY is met. B!'" FCV-113B has failed CLOSED. Implement AOP-003, MALFUNCTION OF REACTOR MAKEUP CONTROL. C. The Charging Pump suction has swapped to the RWST. Implement AOP-003, MALFUNCTION OF REACTOR MAKEUP CONTROL. D. FCV-113B has failed CLOSED. Implement AOP-017, LOSS OF INSTRUMENT AIR.
The correct answer is B. A: Incorrect
-Swapover setpoint is 12.5 inches. NO swapover should have occurred.
Action is appropriate for swapover on VCT low level. B: Correct -FCV-113B is the ONLY valve listed that is out of position.
Since FCV-113B is NOT operating as expected, AOP-003 is the correct procedure to use. VCT is NOT at the swapover setpoint.
C: Incorrect
-Swapover setpoint is 12.5 inches. NO swapover should have occurred.
Action is appropriate for swapover on VCT low level. D: Incorrect
-FCV-113B is the ONLY valve listed that is out of position.
Since FCV-113B is NOT operating as expected, AOP-003 is the correct procedure to use. AOP-017 is the appropriate procedure if air header pressure was low, but FCV-114A fails CLOSED on a loss of instrument air. Exam Question Number: 77

AOP-020-002 SD-003 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM limits. The RHR System can be used to fast fill the Refueling Canal. For fast fill of the refueling cavity, the RHR System is lined up for the RHR Pumps to take suction from the RWST through Valves SI-862A and B. The reactor vessel head is removed and used for shielding.
The Refueling Canal is filled by pumping water from the RWST into the system. The slow fill method uses the SI pumps through the RCS hot leg. In order to drain the Refueling Canal, the system will be lined up to take water from the RCS hot leg through Valves RHR-750 and RHR-751 and pump it back to the RWST through Valves SI-863A and B. When the level in the Refueling Canal is equal to a prescribed value, the remainder of the water in the Refueling Canal will be removed by draining to the Reactor Coolant Drain Tank and/or containment sump. 6.5 Reactor Coolant System/RHR Level Monitoring During outage conditions when the RCS/RHR level is required to be maintained below the vessel flange, the level is monitored by RCS Loop 2 & 3 standpipes in the containment and LT-403 and LT-404, which indicate level on the RTGB. This monitored level range is from the vessel flange down to the upper core plate (-125"). The level at the center line of the RCS piping is -82 inches of water. If the level is lowered below -72 inches, cavitation of the RHR Pumps is likely to occur. RHR pump discharge pressure is monitored on the RTGB oy PI-602A and PI-602B. Recent Westinghouse studies have shown that vortexing could occur above -72 inches. 6.6 Initiation of an S Signal when aligned to the Injection Phase In the event of a SI signal, the RHR pumps A and B will start and RHR-744 A and B will open. The system will take suction from the RWST and circulate borated RWST water through the recirc. lines until RCS pressure decreases to a point where RHR pump shutoff head can force open the check valves to the RCS cold legs (-130 psig), or until the operator secures the RHR system. 6.7 Precautions and Operational Limitations on RHR RHR
- RCS temperature and pressure shall be less than 350°F and 375 psig before the RHR System is put in service, and the RHR system will be removed from service before RCS pressure and temperature are raised above these values.
- To prevent boiling the CCW liquid contained in an RHR HX, CCW flow should not be isolated to an RHR HX when the temperature of the RHR System is greater than 200°F. (CR 95-00565)
Page 22 of 45 Revision 14 INFORMATION USE ONLY SD-003 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM
- Neither RHR-750 nor RHR-751 will open unless the following conditions are satisfied:
-The breakers for SI-862A & Band SI-863 A & B are closed. -The control power switches for SI-862A & Band SI-863 A & B are in NORMAL. -Valves SI-862A and B are closed. -Valves SI-863A and B are closed. -RCS pressure is less than 445 psig.
- SI-862A & B, and SI-863A & B are interlocked so they cannot be opened unless the RHR loop pressure is less than 210 psig.
- When the Residual Heat Removal System is providing Core Cooling AND seal injection flow is desired to maintain a positive L'lP across the Thermal Barrier of the Reactor Coolant Pumps, letdown flow through HCV-142 and PCV-145 should be maintained to provide makeup to the VCT.
- When RHR-757C or RHR-757D is closed, 3,350 gpm flow, indicated on FI-605, with one RHR pump running or 6,700 gpm flow with two RHR pumps running shall not be exceeded, except as allowedlrequired by approved test procedures for which flowrates on FI-605 may be as high as 3800 gpm for one pump or 7600 gpm for two pumps. . When both RHR-757C and RHR-757D are open, 3750 gpm total per running pump as read from FI-605, FI-608A and FI-608B, shall not be exceeded, except as allowedlrequired by approved test procedures for which total flowrates may be as high as 4200 gpm for one pump or 8400 gpm for two pumps.
- When running RHR Pumps with SI-863A and/or SI-863B open, RHR-744A and RHR-744B should be closed to prevent excessive RHR pump runout.
- If CCW is not available to the RHR pump seal coolers, the RHR pumps shall not be operated with pump discharge temperature greater than 135 OF. With CCW available to the RHR pump seal coolers there is no time limit for running a single pump with flow only through the heatup recirculation line. It will be necessary to rotate the RHR pumps to avoid exceeding the 50°F L'lT limit between RHR loops as stated in GP-007.

During normal operation.
the CCW System also provides this function for various nonessential components.
as well as the spent fuel storage pool. The CCW System serves as a barrier to the release of radioactive byproducts between potentially radioactive systems and the Service Water System. and thus to the environment.
The CCW System consists of three pumps. two heat exchangers.
a supply and return header. a surge tank. and associated piping. valves. and instrumentation.
The "B" and "c" CCVI pumps are each powered by a separate safety related blJs The "A" CCW Dump is powered by the nonsafety related aedlcafed shutdown lfie surge tank accommodates changes in water volume in the system and ensures that sufficient net positive suction head is available for the CCW pumps. All CCW pumps automatically start on low pump discharge header pressure.
All CCW pumps in operation upon initiation of a Safety Injection (SI) signal will continue to operate as long as normal power is available.
Upon loss of normal power. the "8" and "c" CCW pumps are automatically loaded onto the emergency diesel generator (EDG) buses as long as an SI signal is not present. If a Containment Spray signal occurs after the EDG loading sequence has been completed.
the CCW pumps are stripped from the buses. The "B" and "C" CCW pumps are not loaded onto the EDG buses as part of the 51 loading sequence.
however. they are capable of manual start when EDG loads allow. Additional information on the design and operation of the system. along with a list of the components served. is presented in the UFSAR. Section 9.2.2 (Ref. 1). The principal safety re'lated function of the CCW System is the removal of decay heat from the reactor via the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) System. This may be during a normal or post accident cooldown and shutdown. (continued)

- 1. Check The Cause Of The DC Bus Failure -KNOWN WHEN the cause is determined.
THEN notify Maintenance to correct the problem. AFW PUMP A will not be available due to loss of control power to the breaker. 2. Maintain S/G Levels Between 8% And 50% Using Available AFW Pumps:
- AFW PUMP B
STEP SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION AND RNP DIFFERENCES The following pages will provide the RNP step number. There is no ERG for this procedure.
RNP BASIS STEP PEC This procedure will be entered from EPP-4 or EPP-7 based on the initial conditions at the time of the loss of DC. If the pant is at power (> 100 MW) it is expected that the be via EPP-7.
C1 The Caution is provided to warn the Operator of the possibility of equipment performing uncontrolled equipment starts. If the loss of DC Bus A occurred from an at power condition the busses fed downstream of 4160V Busses 1 and 2 are deenergized with load breakers still closed. If DC Control Power is restored to the 4160V busses and an automatic transfer occurs before the load breakers trip on undervoltage all equipment will start simultaneously.
The step below the Caution will initiate efforts to restore the faulted DC Bus. This step is provided to initiate efforts to repair the faulted DC Bus. It is placed early in the procedure so that efforts can be made to contact Maintenance personnel.
The high level step provides direction to diagnose the cause and provides transitional guidance.
There are three possible failure mechanisms that are the most likely causes:
- Fault on A Battery
- Fault on A Battery Bus
- Fault on MCC-5 The failure, or tripping, of the in-service Battery Charger, is not a likely cause of the loss of DC since warning would be provided via an annunciator with ample time for Operator action to transfer the chargers.
N2 The note reminds the Operator that since DC BUS A has been lost, no control power is available for AFW PUMP A. The subsequent step will control S/G level. 2 S/G level is maintained in order to provide a heat sink. B AFW pump and the SDAFW pump are specified because A AFW pump is not available due to the loss of DC. 3 Subsequent steps will reset an SI Signal. This diagnostic step provides Transitional direction should the event have occurred with the Unit Auxiliaries being powered from the SUT. In this case the RNO bypasses the steps to reset SI and restore Instrument Air to the CV. 4 If an SI has occurred it will be necessary to restore Instrument Air to the CV in order to perform subsequent steps such as placing Excess Letdown in service. The step provided resets SI and Phase A then restores IA to the CV. PCV-1716 should be available during a loss of DC Bus A since its solenoid is powered from Auxiliary Panel GC (DC Bus B). Resetting SI is possible since Train A has not initiated and Train B has control Power. If resetting the Isolation Signal is unsuccessful in restoring IA to the CV, the valve is placed in the Override position which places control power from Aux Panel GC directly on the solen'oid for opening the valve. Instrument Air pressure is verified prior to attempting to place air in the CV in order to assure air pressure is higher than potential CV pressure.
If IA is not established the steps for placing Excess letdown in service are also bypassed since this also requires air in the CV. 5 This step provides the means to control PZR level during the loss of DC. Excess Letdown is used because power is lost to the Normal Letdown Valves. Letdown is necessary to control PZR level since Seal Injection must be maintained.

-At Step 13, "Check ALL rods fully inserted" the following is noted: -Rod M-6 is at 9 inches. -Rod H-4 is at 14 inches. -Rod F-12 is at 20 inches. Which ONE (1) of the following is the action required?
A'I Begin Boration by OPENING LCV-115B, EMER MU TO CHG SUCT AND CLOSING LCV-115C, VCT OUTLET. B. Begin Boration using Normal Boration path via FCV-113A, BA FLOW and FCV-113B, BLENDED MU TO CHG SUCT. C. Borate using EMER BORATION, MOV-350, BA TO CHARGING PMP SUCT. D. Continue to Step 14 (No boration is required).
The correct answer is A. A: Correct -lAW EPP-4, boration must be initiated if 2 rods are NOT fully inserted.
NOT fully inserted is any rod above 12.0 inches as defined in OMM-022. The ONLY correct flowpath available is the Emergency Makeup flowpath using LCV -115B, LCV-115C must be closed to cause water to enter Charging Pump suction, since there is NO BA transfer pump aligned to BLEND. B: Incorrect
-Flowpath is a viable flowpath as listed in EPP-4 if there is a BA transfer pump aligned to BLEND. The stem indicates there is NO pump available, therefore opening these valves would NOT initiate a boration.
C: Incorrect
-Flowpath is a viable flowpath as listed in EPP-4 if there is a BA transfer pump aligned to BLEND. The stem indicates there is NO pump available, therefore opening this valve would NOT initiate a boration.
D: Incorrect
-lAW EPP-4, boration must be initiated if 2 rods are NOT fully inserted.
NOT fully inserted is any rod above 12.0 inches as defined in OMM-022. This action would be correct if ONLY 1 rod were NOT fully inserted.

ESF-006 SD-006 ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES SYSTEM 4.1.2 Reactor Coolant Temperature (ESF-Figure-1)
The RCS Low Tavg signal (2 of 3 channels below 543°F) is used to initiate the Safety Injection signal, when coincident with high steam flow; and close the Main Steam Isolation Valves, when coincident with high steam flow (i.e., generate the Steam Line Isolation Signal). 4.1.3 Steam Flow (ESF-Figure-1)
Hi Steam Flow (37.25 % flow at no load to 20 % load, increases linearly to 109 % at full load) detected by at least one sensor on two of three steam lines, coincident with low Tavg (543°F) or low steam line pressure (614 psig), generates a Safety Injection signal and closes all MSIVs. Two flow controllers on each steam line are used to sense high steam line flow. This circuit is designed to detect steam line breaks downstream of the MSIVs. 4.1.4 Steam Line Pressure (ESF-Figure-1
& 3) Steam Line Pressure measurement is utilized for steam line break protection.
Low steam line pressure (614 psig) in two of three main steam lines or Low Tavg (543°F) in two of three loops, coincident with high steam line flow in two-of-three main steam lines, will initiate the Steam Line Isolation and Safety Injection signals. This is to protect against: a steam line break downstream of the main steam check valves, a feed line break, and/or an inadvertent opening of a SG safety. In addition, each steam line pressure measurement is compared with a main steam header pressure measurement to determine if a high steam line differential pressure exists. A of two-of-three steam line differential pressures (100 psid) in any one steam li!!e, that is, steam line pressure lower than main steam header pressure, will initiate a sigllC:lt The steam header pressure is electronically limited to a minimum value of 585 psig. Therefore, this SI signal must be blocked before a plant cooldown is started to prevent SI actuation when S/G pressures drop below 485 psig(approximately 467°F). The steam line differential pressure circuit detects faults upstream of the MSIV s. Since the steam line check valves prevent reverse flow to the faulted S/G, excessive steam line differential pressure does not close the MSIVs. 4.1.5 Containment Pressure (ESF-Figure-4

The PZR heatup rate shall be less than or equal to 100°F/hr. (TRMS 3.4) The following is a continuous action step and shall be performed when conditions require. 3. IF PZR Surge line temperature decreases AND is not due to the normal temperature decrease associated with depressurization, THEN stop adjusting PC-444J setpoint until PZR Surge Line temperature is increasing.
- 4. Slowly adjust PC-444J, PZR PRESS 444J, controller setpoint potentiometer to 0.0 without exceeding 200°F/hr cooldown rate on the PZR AND continue with this procedure.
CAUTION To prevent an SI Actuation, steam line pressure shall not be allowed to drop below 485 psig prior to blocking the HI STM LINE DP SI Signal. The PZR PRESS/HI STM LINE DP SI Signal will automatically unblock if RCS pressure increases above 2000 psig. If this occurs, the signal should be blocked when RCS pressure decreases below 2000 psig. 8.2.16 WHEN RCS pressure is less than 2000 psig, THEN perform the following:

TC "Automatic Actions/Actuations" \fC \l "3" } (RAIL 94R0928) 1. During the course of an event, should the setpoint for an automatic protective system actuation be approached, the Operator should, if possible, manually initiate the actuation prior to the automatic actuation.
If immediate actions are in progress they should be completed prior to initiating the signal, however this is not considered performance of steps early or out of order. Example: During an RCS leakage transient, after entry to the EOP Network, pressure is slowly decreasing and after observing the trend in RCS pressure it is apparent that RCS makeup can not keep up with leakage. As pressure approaches the low pressure SI setpoint of 1715 psig, the Operator should manually initiate Safety Injection prior to reaching the setpoint. If the setRoint for an automatic actuation signal is reached and the actuation fails to occur, the Operator should manually initiate the IOMM-022 Signal. (SOER 93-1, Rec 2) . Example: During the scenario described above, the Operator notes that pressure has reached 1700 psig and a Safety Injection actuation has not occurred, the Operator should immediately initiate the Safety Injection.
Example: If an MSIV does not automatically close from a valid signal and the RTGB control switch does not operate, then depressing the Steam Line Isolation pushbutton for that MSIV should be performed.
Example: If a CV Ventilation Isolation should have occurred, then depressing the HIGH VOLTS OFF on R-11 or R-12 may be successful.

AFW-002 HBR 2 UPDATED FSAR 10.4.8 Auxiliary Feedwater System 10.4.8.1 Design Basis The design parameters for the auxiliary feedwater system components are shown on Table 10.4.8-1.
The auxiliary feedwater system is designed and constructed in accordance with the Seismic Class I requirements presented in Section 3.2. 10.4.8.2 System Description The flow diagram for the auxiliary feedwater system is included with the condensate and feedwater flow diagram Figures 10.1.0-4, 10.1.0-5, and 10.1.0-6.
The auxiliary feedwater system can provide feedwater to the steam generators from anyone or combination of three auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps, two are motor driven pumps and the third is steam driven. Two motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps are supplied power from the emergency busses E-1 and E-2. The emergency busses also supply power to the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pump's discharge isolation valves and the steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump's steam supply and feedwater discharge . isolation valves. The emergency busses are supplied power either from offsite or plant diesel generators.
The steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump can be operated independent of electrical where steam produced from decay heat drives the turbine. The auxiliary feedwater supply feedwater to the steam generators for decay heat removal if main feedwater is not available or steam generator level is not adequate, as described below. The auxiliary feedwater pumps can be used to fill the steam generators under any plant condition, except that the steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump requires the plant to be heated up above 350°F, and the motor driven AFW pumps require power. Upon receipt of an auto start signal to the steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump, the steam supply valves will open supplying steam to drive the pump. At the same time, the feedwater discharge valves open to the steam generators.
The turbine-pump builds up speed and supplies 'feedwater to the steam generators
.. A cavitating venturi is located in the discharge piping of the steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump. Its function is to prevent excess flow from the into a low pressure steam generator in the case of a failed discharge flow control valve. This prevents excess mass/flow into containment during a main steamline break and prevents steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump runout. Upon receipt of an auto start signal to the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps, the feedwater discharge valves open while the motor is accelerating up to speed and supplies feedwater to the steam generators. . The motor driven auxiliary feedwater
'pumps are supplied with bearing cooling water from the service water system. The SDAFW pump is self-cooled using water from the CST. The capacity of the steam driven auxiliary feedwater pump is based on preventing the water level in the steam generators from receding below the lowest level within the indicated level range in the event of a loss of offsite power. This will prevent the tube sheet from being uncovered.
A signal indicating a low low steam generator water level in any two steam generators or a direct signal of undervoltage on 4160 buses 1 and 4 will automatically start the steam driven AFW pump by opening steam admission valves and auxiliary feedwater discharge valves to individual steam generators.
The initiating signals for starting the motor driven AFW pumps 10.4.8-1 Revision No. 15 HLC-08 NRC Written Exam 89. Given the following:

Amendment No. 201 B 3.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS) B 3.4.16 RCS Specific Activity BASES RCS Specific Activity B 3.4.16 BACKGROUND The LCO contains specific activity limits for both DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 and gross specific activity in the reactor coolant. The allowable levels are intended to limit the offsite dose to less than the limits of 10 CFR 50.67 for analyzed accidents.
APPLICABLE The LCO limits on the specific activity of the reactor SAFETY ANALYSES coolant ensure that the resulting offsite doses will not exceed the 10 CFR 50.67 dose limits following an analyzed accident.
The limiting accident analysis used in establishing the specified activity limits is the SGTR. Other accidents, such as the Main Steam Line Break accident also use the limits from this LCO in the dose analysis.
The SGTR dose analysis (Ref. 2) assumes the specific activity of the reactor coolant at the LCO limit and an existing reactor coolant steam generator (SG) tube leakage rate of 0.3 gpm. The analysis assumes the specific activity of the secondary coolant at its limit of 0.1 DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 from LCO 3.7.15, "Secondary Specific Activity." (continued)
HBRSEP Unit No. 2 B 3.4-98 Revision No. 31 BASES APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES (continued)
HBRSEP Unit No. 2 RCS Specific Activity B 3.4.16 The SGTR event is assumed to be caused by the instantaneous rupture of a steam generator tube which relieves to the faulted steam generator.
The primary consequence of this event is the release of radioactivity from the reactor coolant. The analysis also assumes a concurrent loss of power, from which the loss of circulating water through the condenser eventually results in the loss of condenser vacuum. Valves in the condenser bypass lines would automatically close to protect the condenser, thereby causing steam relief directly to the atmosphere from the steam generator PORVs or safety valves. This direct relief of activity from the ruptured tube would continue until the faulted steam generator is isolated.
Additional releases due to primary to secondary LEAKAGE would continue from the SG PORVs or safety valves on the intact SGs until they were isolated.
Since no fuel failures are assumed to occur from the event, the specific activity at the LCO limit, and the amount of coolant released would determine the radioactivity that was released to the atmosphere.
The safety analysis shows the radiological consequences of an SGTR accident are within the dose limits of 10 CFR50.67.
Operation with iodine specific activity levels greater than the LCO limit is permissible for 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />, if the activity level does not exceed 60 The permissible iodine level of 60 or less is acceptable because of the low probability of a SGTR accident occurring during the established 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> time limit. The occurrence of an SGTR accident at 60 would increase the calculated site boundary dose levels, but still be within 10 CFR 50.67 dose limits. Limits on RCS specific activity also ensure the radiation shielding design of the plant remains acceptable for plant personnel radiation protection.
RCS specific activity satisfies Criterion 2 of the NRC Policy Statement. (continued)
B 3.4-99 Revision No. 26 BASES (Continued)
LCO APPLICABILITY ACTIONS HBRSEP Unit No. 2 RCS Specific Activity B 3.4.16 The specific iodine activity is limited to 0.25 DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, and the gross specific activity in the reactor coolant is limited to the number of equal to 100 divided by E (average disintegration energy of the sum of the average beta and gamma energies of the coolant nuclides).
The limits on DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 and gross specific activity ensure the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> dose to an individual at the site boundary during the DBA will be less than the allowed dose. The SGTR accident analysis (Ref. 2) shows that the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> site boundary dose levels are within acceptable limits. Violation of the LCO may result in reactor coolant radioactivity levels that could, in the event of an SGTR, lead to site boundary doses that exceed the 10 CFR 50.67 dose limits. In MODES 1 and 2, and in MODE 3 with RCS average temperature 500°F, operation within the LCO limits for DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 and gross specific activity are necessary to contain the potential consequences of an SGTR to within the acceptable site boundary dose values. For operation in MODE 3 with RCS average temperature
< 500°F, and in MODES 4 and 5, the release of radioactivity in the event of a SGTR is unlikely since the saturation pressure of the reactor coolant is below the lift pressure settings of the main steam safety valves. A Note permits the use of the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.c. This allowance permits entry into the applicable MODE(S) while relying on the ACTIONS. This allowance is acceptable due to the significant conservatism incorporated into the specific activity limit, the low probability of an event which is limiting due to exceeding this limit, and the ability to restore transient specific activity excursions while the plant remains at, or proceeds to power operation.

HBRSEP Unit No. 2 3.20-1 PLP-100 Rev. 25 Waste Gas Decay Tanks -Oxygen Concentration B 3.20 B 3.20 WASTE GAS DECAY TANKS -OXYGEN CONCENTRATION BASES This specification is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the Waste Gas Holdup System is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen. This is accomplished by maintaining the oxygen concentration less than 4% through procedural controls.
Maintaining the concentration of oxygen below the flammability limit provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. TR 3.20.1 specifies that monitoring be performed on the in-service tank, as that is the tank with the potential for changing gas concentrations.
Technical Specification Section 5.5.12, "Explosive Gas and Storage Tank Radioactivity Monitoring Program," states that this program shall include limits for concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen in the Waste Gas Decay Tanks that are appropriate to the system's design criteria.
By always requiring the oxygen concentration to be less than 4%, this TRM limit fully meets the requirement to establish appropriate limits for the concentration of the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen to preclude an explosive mixture.

This is also referred to as an Operability Concern Response.
An OCR is a PassPort assignment used to document the results of an Operability Review for NCRs where either the attribute for an OCR or OPER ISSUE is checked Y. This is the assignment type used to document the basis for an Operability Determination . . 3.B. Operability Determination The actual determination of Operability must be made by a licensed individual.
Routine confirmation of Operability is usually made with out an OCR while screening Work Requests and NCRs. If required an OCR is prepared to assist Operations.
An Operability Determination typically starts when Operations determines that an OCR is required and it typically ends when the applicable on-shift licensed operator accepts the OCR basis. -7 3.9. Quality-Related The term "quality-related" encompasses the NRC quality assurance controls and requirements imposed on a nuclear power plant. This specifically includes those activities, services, and equipment associated with safety-related structures, systems and components such as environmental and effluent monitoring; Technical Specification surveillance; operations; radiological emergency planning; fire protection; radiation protection; packaging radioactive material for transport; radioactive waste management systems; security systems; anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) equipment; and environmentally qualified components.

BASIS: Depending upon the size of the effective break areas for the steam generators, the cooldown rate experienced after reactor trip could exceed 100°F/hr.
A reduction of feed flow to the steam generators has three primary effects: 1. To minimize any additional cooldown resulting from the addition of feedwater, 2. To prevent steam generator tube dryout by maintaining a minimum feed flow to the steam generators and, 3. To minimize the water inventory in the steam generators that eventually is the source of additional steam flow to containment or the environment.
The minimum feed flow of (S.04) gpm represents the value in plant specific units corresponding to 25 gpm. The 25 gpm value is representative of a minimum measurable feed flow to a steam generator.
Plant specific values may depend upon flow instrumentation and the sensitivity of the controls on the feed flow. As steam flow rate drops, the feed flow will eventually increase the steam generator inventory.
Feed flow is controlled to maintain steam generator narrow range level less than 50% to prevent overfeeding the steam generators.
In addition, as SG pressure and steam flow rate drop, RCS hot leg temperatures will stabilize and .start increasing.
The operator controls feed flow or dumps steam to stabilize the RCS hot leg temperatures.
This allows the safety injection flow to establish conditions for SI termination and minimizes thermal stresses that may be generated.
RNP DIFFERENCES/REASONS Step 7 of the RNP procedure represents step 2.a of the ERG. The RNP step has been split into multiple steps in order to eliminate the actions contained in the ERG Caution at step 2 and to provide for other Human Factors concerns associated with the ERG step. SSD DETERMINATION This is an SSD per criterion
- 11. WOG BASIS PURPOSE: To alert the operator to maintain a minimum feed flow to minimize any subsequent thermal shock to SG components BASIS: If feed flow to a SG is isolated and the SG is allowed to dry out, subsequent reinitiation of feed flow to the SG could create significant thermal stress conditions on SG components.
Maintaining a minimum verifiable feed flow to the SG allows the components to remain in a "wet" condition, thereby minimizing any thermal shock effects if feed flow is increased.
RNP DIFFERENCES/REASONS The RNP procedure places the caution or note in an action step to prevent actions within cautions and noted as required by the writer's guide. The RNP steps for throttling have been split since the throttle valves are different for the SDAFW Pumps and the MDAFW Pumps.

FRP-H.I-003 r 1 2.4 Feeding a Dry Steam Generator If bleed and feed has been initiated, during restoration of secondary heat sink, feeding a dry steam generator may be necessary.
If the event was initiated from high temperature and high decay heat conditions it is likely that feedwater flow will have to be established to a hot, dry steam generator.
A hot, dry steam generator is defined as a steam generator in which the primary side of the steam generator is above 550 F** and the secondary side has no liquid inventory.
Reestablishment of feedwater is the more desirable mode of recovery from a loss of secondary heat sink than remaining on bleed and feed and establishing cold leg recirculation for long term cooling because this will be more likely to avoid core uncovery.
However, care must be taken when re-establishing feedwater flow to minimize the effects of thermal shock consistent with the urgency of the need to restore the secondary side heat sink. Since the heat removal capability of one steam generator is always greater than decay heat, it is advisable to reestablish feedwater to only one steam generator regardless of the size of the plant or number of loops. Thus, if a failure in an SG occurs due to excessive thermal stresses, the failure is isolated to one steam generator.
If bleed and feed has been initiated and RCS temperature is increasing, the re-establishment of feedwater flow should be limited to one steam generator and the flow rate used should be as high as can be made available due to the urgency of the situation.
If RCS temperatures are stable or decreasing when feedwater flow is restored the flow should be directed to one steam generator and the rate should be limited to the plant-specific equivalent of 25 -100 gpm until wide range level is established.
With stable or decreasing RCS temperatures, the feedwater flow rate is limited to minimize the potential impact of excessive thermal stresses since a direct measure of the steam generator temperature is not available.
Once an indicated wide range level is achieved in the affected steam generator, feedwater flow can be adjusted as necessary to restore level into the narrow range and thereby satisfying the requirements for a secondary heat sink. Once feedwater is established, the feeding process should continue until the RCS temperature indications are decreasing.
At that time the active steam generator should be checked for symptoms indicating a faulted or ruptured condition.
If the active steam generator is faulted or ruptured, then feedwater should be established to another intact steam generator.
If an intact steam generator does not exist, then a decision should be made to use the best available steam generator, which may be the active steam generator.
Once the heat load has been transferred to a backup steam generator, the original steam generator should be isolated to prevent further radiation releases.
Thus, the process of initiating feedwater to a dry generator, as described here, is one that accounts for the fact that the steam generator temperature may be above 550 F. The number of steam generators that may be fed in a hot, dry condition are limited and if RCS temperature is decreasing the flow rate is also limited so as to limit the thermal shock to the steam generator being fed. Subsequent to securing SI and exiting FR-H.1 the remaining dry steam generators may have their levels recovered at the direction of the plant engineering staff in a manner that will minimize thermal shock to the steam generators.
This evaluation should consider steam generator materials and properties, Technical Specification considerations, etc. 2.5 Reactor Coolant Pump Operation Operation of reactor coolant pumps will affect the dryout time of the steam generators due to RCP heat addition and, therefore, will affect the time at which operator action to initiate bleed and feed must occur. Studies have been performed using the LOFTRAN code (Reference
- 2) to assess the impact of RCP operation on the time PORVs will open without operator action and the time to steam generator dryout for a loss of main feedwater event without AFW available.
A four-loop plant typical of current Westinghouse design was used. It had a core power of 3411 Mwt and an RCP steady state power of 14 Mwt. Model F steam generators were also assumed. Thus, while this plant is not identical to the one used in References 1, 3 and 4, the study will be representative of Westinghouse plant response and sufficient to determine the impact of RCP status on the time available before operator action to initiate bleed and feed is required.
The cases analyzed were: Case 1: RCPs running throughout transient Case 2: RCPs tripped at reactor trip Case 3: RCPs tripped 5 minutes after reactor trip
- 550°F is Cl temperature evaluated to be low enough that thermal stress would not lead to a failure when feedwater is established to any remaining dry steam generator.
I FRP-H.1-BD Rev 22 Page 15 of 70 I The focus of the analysis was to determine the additional time available to the operator as a result of eliminating RCP heat from the system before action to initiate bleed and feed became necessary.
Thus, the time of two events was used to determine the impact of RCP trip time. The two events are 1) the time when PORVs automatically open as a result of the degraded heat transfer capability of the steam generator and 2) the time when steam generator secondaries dry out. Table 1 shows a comparison of the three cases. Case 1 represents a situation where steam generators would experience the earliest dryout due to the RCP heat load and Case 2 is where the steam generators would experience the latest dryout. The extension in dryout time from Case 1 to Case 2 is between 7 and 9 minutes, depending upon the indication of dryout that is chosen. The use of the time to PORV opening will have some uncertainty due to the uncertainty in predicting non-equilibrium effects in the pressurizer.
However, PORV opening time is probably the best indicator obtainable from the LOFTRAN analysis of the time available until bleed and feed must be initiated.

CASE 3* 35.80 min 40.93 min Case 3, where the RCPs are tripped 5 minutes after reactor trip, is a best estimate expectation of when the operator can be expected to trip RCPs following a reactor trip based on guidance provided in this guideline.
Thus, the extension in time to loss of heat sink symptoms is the most realistic that could be expected based on anticipated operator response.
The extension to loss of secondary heat sink symptoms is about 5 minutes based on PORV opening time. This compares favorably with the extension already seen between Cases 1 and 2. Thus, operator action to trip RCPs upon entering this guideline for loss of secondary heat sink can appreciably delay the need for bleed and feed and the loss of secondary heat sink. Thus, time can be gained for the operator to establish a means of supplying feedwater.
Delaying the loss of secondary heat sink is not the only reason for tripping RCPs. RCPs running can also reduce the effectiveness of bleed and feed. RCP heat input to the RCS will result in increased steam generation hindering the depressurization of the RCS during bleed and feed. The higher pressure produced by RCP operation will reduce SI flow and increase inventory lost through the PORVs. Therefore, RCPs should be tripped if AFW flow cannot be established immediately after entering this guideline.
- 3. RECOVERY/RESTORATION TECHNIQUE The objective of the recovery/restoration technique incorporated into guideline FR-H.1 is to restore and/or maintain adequate secondary heat removal capability and to establish RCS bleed and feed heat removal if secondary heat removal capability cannot be maintained.
The following subsections provide a summary of the major categories of operator actions and key utility decision points for guideline FR-H.1, RESPONSE TO LOSS OF SECONDARY HEAT SINK. 3.1 High Level Action Summary A high level summary of the actions performed in FR-H.1 is given below in the form of major action categories.
These are described below in more detail. MAJOR ACTION CATEGORIES IN FR-H.1 o Attempt Restoration of Feed Flow To Steam Generators o Initiation of RCS Bleed and Feed Heat Removal I FRP-H .1-80 Rev 22 Page 16 of 70 I RNP WOG BASISIDIFFERENCES STEP STEP 14 3 RNP DIFFERENCES/REASONS The RNP procedure has been split into several steps in order to provide the level of detail required to satisfy NUREG-1358.
The intent of the ERG has been maintained in the steps. Specifically each step performs the following:
Step 7: Satisfies the ERG step 2.a Step 8: This step determines and attempts to isolate an AFW pipe break if this is the cause of the loss of function.
Step 9: Attempts a restart of the MDAFW Pumps. Start of the pumps should have already been attempted in Path-1. This step will also attempt to reset a tripped breaker if that is the reason the pumps have not started. If the start is successful the operator verifies flow and exits the procedure.
Step 10: Attempts to start the SDAFW pump. The action verb is listed as "verify" therefore if local actions are required to open the valves, this should be attempted.
If the SDAFW pump overspeed tripped has actuated, even locally opening the steam supply valves will not start the pump unless the trip can be reset. If the start is successful the operator verifies flow and exits the procedure.
Step 11: This step provides local actions for valve alignment and local start of the MDAFW pumps. The local start function over-rides many of the trip features for the pumps and may be successful in starting the pump. Step 12: Satisfies the ERG step 2.d. Step 13: Satisfies the ERG step 2.e. SSD DETERMINATION This is an SSD per criterion 4, 10, and 11. WOG BASIS PURPOSE: To stop RCPs in order to extend the time to restore feed flow to the SGs BASIS: I FRP-H .1-80 RCP operation results in heat addition to the RCS water. By tripping the RCPs, the effectiveness of the remaining water inventory in the SGs is extended, which extends the time at which the operator action to initiate bleed and feed must occur. This extension of time is additional time for the operator to restore feedwater flow to the SGs. Additional information is provided in subsection 2.5, Reactor Coolant Pump Operation, of this background document.
KNOWLEDGE:
Stopping all RCPs will result in an interim plant transient on RCS pressure and temperature as natural circulation flow conditions are established in the RCS. An example of this is shown in Figures 6 and 7 where RCS pressure and temperature rise and reestablish new steady state conditions prior to steam generator dryout occurring.
If rising RCS pressure and hot leg temperatures are the criteria for initiation of bleed and feed heat removal, the operator must evaluate whether these conditions are caused by an RCP trip or by a loss of secondary heat sink in order to determine if bleed and feed heat removal is to be established.
RNP DIFFERENCES/REASONS There are essentially no differences.
SSD DETERMINATION This is not an SSD. Rev 22 Page 48 of 70 I
