g 3.7 PLANT SYSTEMS B 3.7.11 Control Room Emergency Air Cleanup System (CREACUS)

BASES

=

BACKGROUND The CREACUS provides a protected environment from which operators can control the plant following an uncontroiled release of radioactivity.

The CREACUS consists of two independent, redundant trains that recirculate and filter the control room air.

Each CREACUS train consists of emergency air conditioning unit, emergency ventilation air supply unit, emergency isolation dampers, and cooling coils and two cabinet coolers per Unit.

Each emergency air conditioning unit includes a prefilter, a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, an activated carbon adsorber section for removal of gaseous activity (principally iodine), and a fan. A.second bank of HEPA filters follows the adsorber section to collect carbon fines.

Each emergency ventilation air supply unit includes prefilter, HEPA filter, carbon adsorber and fan. Ductwork, motor-operated dampers, and instrumentation also form part of the system. Air and motor-operated dampers are provided for air volume control and system isolation purposes.

Upon receipt of the actuating signal, normal air supply to the control room is isolated, and the stream of ventilation air is recirculated through the ' system's filter trains.

The prefilters remove any large particles in the air to prevent excessive loading of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers. Continuous operation of each train for at least 15 minutes per month verifies proper system operability.

There are two CREACUS operational modes. Emergency mo'.e is an operational mode when the control room is isolated to protect operational personnel from radioactive expostre through the duration of any one of the postulated I'miting i

faultsdiscussedinChapter15UFSAR(Ref.2).

Isclation mode is an operational mode when the control room is isolated to protect operational personnel from toxic gasses and smoke.

Actuation of the CREACUS places the system into either of two separate states of operation, depending on the initiation signal. Actuation of the system to the emergency node of operation closes tne unfiltered-outside-air intake (continued)

8ASES BACKGROUND and unfiltered exhaust dampers, and aligns the system for -

(continued) recirculation of control room air through the redundant trains of HEPA and charcoal filters.

The emergency mode initiates pressurization of the control room.

Outside air is added to the air being recirculated from the control. room.

Pressurization of the control room prevents infiltration of unfiltered air from the surrounding areas of the building.

The control room supply and the outside air supply of the nonnal control room HVAC are monitored by radiation and -

toxic-gas detectors respectively. One detector output above the setpoint will cause actuation of the emergency mode'or isolation mode as required. The actions of the isolation mode are more restrictive, and will override the actions of the emergency mode of operation. However, toxic gas and radiation events are not considered to occur concurrently.

A single train will pressurize the control room to at least~

0.125 inches water gauge, and provides an air exchange rate in excess of 45% per hour. The CREACUS operation in maintaining the control room habitable is discussed in j

Reference 1.

t Redundant recirculation trains provide the required filtration should an excessive pressure drop develop across the other filter train. Nonnally-open isolation dampers are arranged in series pairs so that one' damper's failure to shut will not result 'in a breach of isolation. The CREACUS is designed in accordance with Seismic Category I requirements.

The CREACUS is designed to maintain the control room environment for 30 days of continuous occupancy after a Design Basis Accident (DBA) without exceeding a 5-rem c

whole-body dose.

e APPLICABLE The CREACUS components are arranged in redundant safety SAFETY ANALYSES related ventilation trains. The location of components and ducting within the control room envelope ensures an adequate supply-of filtered air to all areas requiring access.

2 BASES APPLICABLE The CREACUS provides airborne radiological protection for SAFETY ANALYSES the control room operators, as demonstrated by the control (continued) room accident dose analyses for the most limiting design basis loss of coolant accident fission product release presented in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 2).

The analysis of toxic gas releases demonstrates that the toxicity limits are not exceeded in the control room following a toxic chemical release, as presented. in Reference 1.

The worst case single active failure of a component of the CREACUS, assuming a loss of offsite power, does not impair I

the ability of the system to perform its design function.

1 The CREACUS satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement.

LC0 Two independent and redundant trains of the CREACUS are required to.be OPERABLE to ensure that at least one is available, assuming that a single failure disables the other r

train. Total system failure could result in a control room operator receiving a dose Tn excess of 5 res in the event of

?

a large radioactive release.

The CREACUS is considered OPERABLE when the individual components necessary to control operator exposure are OPERABLE in both trains. A CREACUS train is considered i

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to limit operator exposure during and following a OBA.

In MODES 5 and 6, the CREACUS is required to cope with the release from a rupture of an outside waste gas tank.

During movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, the CREACUS must be OPERABLE to cope with the release from a fuel handling accident.

ACTIONS l ACTION statements are modified by a NOTE:

"Each Unit shall enter applicable ACTIONS separately." CREACUS is a shared system between Unit 2 and Unit 3.

LC0 does not address the d.-M.Sd!47 [7 operational situation when the units are in different operational MODES. Without this NOTE it may not be clear what ACTION should be taken.

A.1 With one CREACUS train inoperable, action must be taken to restore OPERABLE status within 7 days.

In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE CREACUS subsystem is adequate to perform control room radiation protection function.

l Mowever, the overall reliability is reduced because a single failure in the OPERABLE CREACUS train could result in loss of CREACUS function. The 7 day Completion Time is based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and the ability of the remaining train to provide J

the required capability.

B.1 and B.2

\\

If the inoperable CREACUS cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the required Completion Time in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, the unit must be placed in a MODE that minimizes the accident risk. To achieve this status, the unit must be i

placed in at least MODE 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and in MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

INSERT "A" ACTIONS statements are modified by two NOTES. NOTE 1 reads: "Each Unit shall enter applicable ACTIONS separately

• CREACUS is a shared system between Unit 2 and Unit 3.

LC0 does not address the operational situation when the units are in different operational MODES. Without this NOTE it may not be clear what ACTION should be taken.

NOTE 2 reads: "The provisions af LC0 3.0.4 are not applicable when entering MODES 5, 6, or defueled configuration."

In accordance with the APPLICABILITY statement "or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies", OPERABILITY of the CREACUS will be ensured prior to movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.

Therefore, the only threshold between defueled configuration and MODE 6 is the position of the first irradiated fuel assembly--whether it is in the reactor vessel or external to it. This threshold has no safety significance because the only credible event during the transition from a defueled configuration to MODE 6 and from MODE 6 to defueled configuration is a Design Basis Fuel Handling Accident which is covered by the LC0 APPLICABILITY.

Therefore, this threshold can be excepted from LCO 3.0.4.

The threshold of entering MODE 5 from MODE 6 consists of fully tightening the last reactor vessel head closure bolt. This evolution has no safety significance from the point of view of isolating the control room from external hazards. Therefore, this MODE change can be excepted from LCO 3.0.4.

The threshold of entering MODE 6 from MODE 5 consists of untightening at least one reactor vessel head closure bolt.

If no irradiated fuel assemblies are being moved, this evolution has no safety significance from the point of view of isolating the control room from external hazards.

Therefore, this MODE change can be excepted from LC0 3.0.4 also.

The threshold of entering MODE 5 from MODE 4 consists of decreasing Reactor

BASES ACTICNS C.I. C.2.1. and C.2.2 (continued) j In MCDE 5 or 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, if Required Action A.1 cannot be completedwithin the required Completion Time, the OPERABLE CREACUS train must be imediately placed in the emergency made of operation.

This action ensures that the remaining train is OPERABLE, that no failures preventing automatic actuation will occur, and that any active failure will be readily detected.

An alternative to Required Action C.1 is to imediately suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might require isolation of the control room.

This places the unit in a condition that minimizes the accident risk. This does not preclude the movement of fuel assemblies to a safe position.

D.d If both CREACUS trains are inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, the CREACUS may not be capable of performing the intended 1

function and the unit is in a condition outside the accident i

analyses. Therefore, LCO 3.0.3 must be entered imediately.

E.1 and E.2 When in MODES 5 or 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies with two trains inoperable, action must be taken immediately to suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might enter the control room.

This places the unit in a condition that minimizes the accident risk. This does not preclude the movement of fuel to a safe position.

The threshold of entering MODE 5 from MODE 6 consists of fully tightening the last reactor vessel head closure bolt. This evolution has no safety significance from the point of view of isolating the control room from external hazards.

Therefore, this MODE change can be excepted from LC0 3.0.4.

The threshold of entering MODE 6 from MODE 5 consists of untightening at least one reactor vessel head closure bolt.

If no irradiated fuel assemblies are being moved, this evolution has no safety significance from the point of view of isolating the control room from external hazards. Therefore, this MODE change can be excepted from LC0 3.0.4 also.

The threshold of entering MODE 5 from MODE 4 consists of decreasing Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature from 350af > T

> 200aF to T 5 200aF by initiating shutdown cooling.

IfnoirradiatedE!elassemblies, yare being moved, this evolution has no safety significance from the point of view of isolating the control room from external hazards. Therefore, this MODE change can be excepted from LCO 3.0.4 also.

BASES ACTIONS C.I. C.2.1. and C.2.2 (continued)

In MODE 5 or 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, if Required Action A.1 cannot be completedwithin the required Completion Time, the OPERABLE CREACUS train must be imediately placed in the emergency mode of operation.

This action ensures that the remaining train is OPERABLE, that no failures preventing automatic actuation will occur, and that any active failure will be readily detected.

An alternative to Required Action C.1 is to imediately suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might require isolation of the control This places the unit in a condition that minimizes room.

the accident risk.

This does not preclude the movement of fuel cssemblies to a safe position.

Q.d If both CREACUS trains are inoperable in MODE 1, 2, 3, or 4, the CREACUS may not be capable of performing the intended function and the unit is in a condition outside the accident analyses.

Therefore, LC0 3.0.3 must be entered immediately.

E.1 and E.2 When in MODES 5 or 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies with two trains inoperable, action must be taken immediately to suspend activities that could result in a release of radioactivity that might enter the control room.

This places the unit in a condition that minimizes the accident risk.

This does not preclude the movement of fuel to a safe position.

SURVEILLAME SR 3.7.11.1 REQUIREMENTS Standby systems should be checked periodically to ensure that they function properly. Since the environment and normal operating conditions on this system are not severe, testing each train once every month provides an adequate check on this system.

1 SURVEILLANCE SR 3.7.11.1 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS Systems not requiring humidity control need only be operated for a 15 minutes to demonstrate the function of the system.

The 31 day on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS Frequency is based on the known reliability of the equipment, and the two train redundancy available.

SR 3.7.11.2 This SR verifies that the required CREACUS testing is perfonned in accordance with the Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP).

The CREACUS filter tests are based on Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Ref. 3).

The VFTP includes testing HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, minimum system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal (general use and following specific operations). Specific test frequencies and additional information are discussed in detail in the VFTP.

SR 3.7.11.3 This SR verifies each CREACUS train starts and operates on an actual or simulated actuation signal. The Frequency of 24 months is consistent with that specified in Reference 3.

SR 3.7.11.4 This SR verifies the integrity of the control room enclosure and the assumed inleakage rates of potentially contaminated air. The control room positive pressure, with respect to potentially contaminated atmosphere, is periodically tested to verify proper function of the CREACUS. During the emergency radiation state of the emergency mode of operation, the CREACUS is designed to pressurize the control room = 0.125 inches water gauge positive pressure with respect to the atmosphere in order to prevent unfiltered inleakage. The CREACUS is designed to maintain this positive pressure with one train.
