I will explain the initial conditions, and state the task to be performed. All control room steps shall be performed for this JPM, including any required communications. I will provide initiating cues and reports on other actions when directed by you. Ensure you indicate to me when you understand your assigned task. To indicate that you have completed your assigned task return the handout sheet I provided you.

INITIAL CONDITIONS:

  • FWST 1% = 3,950 gals
  • BAT = 7500 ppmB
  • RHT = 1038 ppmB
  • FWST is currently 97% at 2790 ppmB INITIATING CUES:

The CRS has directed you to determine the amount of BAT addition and RHT addition necessary to raise FWST level to 99% and 2800 ppmB per OP/2/A/6200/014 (Refueling Water System), Enclosure 4.9 (FWST Makeup From RHT) steps 3.5 and 3.6.

3.5 Determine the required boron concentration (Cm/u) of the makeup CRITICAL to raise the FWST to the desired level as follows: STEP NOTE: Final FWST level and boron concentration shall comply with ___ SAT COLR requirements.

___ UNSAT STEP 1: 3.5.1 Record the following:

desired final FWST boron concentration (CFWST) ______ ppm desired final FWST volume (VFWST) ____________ gallons initial FWST boron concentration (Ci) _______ ppm initial FWST volume (Vi) ____________ gallons makeup volume (Vm/u) = (VFWST) - (Vi) = ( ) - ( ) =____ gallons STANDARD:

Applicant determines :

CFWST = 2800 ppm (from initiating cue)

VFWST = 391,050 gallons (calculated from init cue and init conditions)

Ci = 2790 ppm (from initial conditions)

Vi = 383,150 gallons (calculated from initial conditions)

Vm/u = 7900 gallons EXAMINER NOTE: The applicant may decide to round down the volumes of the FWST, in which case VFWST =

391,000 gallons, Vi = 383,000 gallons, and Vm/u =

8000 gallons.

This step is critical to calculate total makeup volume.

INITIAL CONDITIONS:

1. Unit 1 is currently performing a liquid waste release from the Monitor Tank Building.
2. Low Pressure Service Water (RL) Flow transmitter 0RLP5080 (RL Disch Flow) and OAC points C1P0903 and C2P0903 (RL Line A Disch Flow-Hourly Average) are INOPERABLE and have been removed from service.
3. The RN system is aligned to the RL discharge header.
4. PT/0/A/4250/011 (RL Temperature and Discharge Flow Determination) was last completed at 0700.
5. Current time is 1030.
6. Units 1 and 2 are both at 100% power.

INITIATING CUES:

You are directed to calculate the total RL discharge flow using Enclosure 13.2 (Total Discharge Flow Calculation Sheet) of PT/0/A/4250/011 and determine if adequate flow exists to continue the release per the LWR currently in progress. Record your answer in the spaces below.

Total RL Discharge Flow GPM.

Adequate Flow Exists .

Yes/No EXAMINER NOTE:

After reading initiating cue, provide applicant with a copy of PT/0/A/4250/011 Enclosures 13.1 signed off up to step to perform Encl. 13.2, Enclosures 13.2 and 13.7, appropriate data sheet, and a copy of the LWR permit report.

UNSAT STEP 11 Determination of adequate RL flow. CRITICAL STEP STANDARD:

___ SAT Applicant determines that Total RL Discharge Flow is LESS than the "Minimum RL Flow interlock setpoint for radionuclides (gpm)" required ___ UNSAT by and listed on the Liquid Waste Release Permit Report, and that the release may NOT continue.

This step is critical for ensuring termination of a release with inadequate dilution flow.

EXAMINER NOTE:

The Liquid Waste release Permit Report requires at least 27,600 gpm RL flow in order for the release to continue. If the applicant does NOT apply the dilution safety factor (listed in STEP 10 of this JPM), it will appear that adequate RL flow DOES exist (27,854 gpm). But with the required dilution safety factor, RL flow can only be calculated as 18,105 gpm: inadequate for the release to continue.
