, ATTACHMENT A Safety Evaluation and Analysis for FCR 80-278 Rev. A Safety Evaluation At present, the suctions to the decay heat (DH) and containment spray (CS) pumps are automatically transferred from the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWFr) to the Containment Emergency Sump on a Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) trip of incident level 5. This occurs at a BWST level between 49.5 and 55 inches. This change proposes the above described automatic transfer of these pumps be changed to manual. Because this modification removes an automated safety feature that would now be manual, the possibility of an accident of a different type not previously in the Safety Analysis Report may be increased. This therefore, identifies a unreviewed safety question. The following analysis is provided to justify this modification.

Analysis The safety function of this transfer is to protect these pumps from cavitation for lack of proper net positive suction heads and to transfer these pump suctions to the containment emergency sump during the recircu-lation mode of operation. The SFAS incident le,yel 5 trip will be used as an interlock to prevent a premature manual transfer. The following table shows the BWST levels required by this analysis for this suction transfer to be successfully performed as a manual transfer.

(ECCS) analysis

9. Lowest safe indicated level for ECCS 448.3 482,778 Analysis in Modes 1, 2, 3, & 4 As shown in the above table, a control room operator will manually perform this transfer when the safety grade level indicators in the control room indicate between 49.5 and 96 inches (4.125 and 8 feet) of BWST level.

This will give a control room operator about 4 minutes to make the transfer safely. Since the plant under the conditions existing at this point will be in an emergency situation for a mininum of 23 minutes, the station procedures will instruct a control room operator to be looking at the BWST level indicators to initiate the manual transfer. As observed from the above calculation table, the minimum level requirements of BWST will be met if the transfer is initiated within 4 minutes after the indicated BWST level drops to 8 feet.

A control room operator will manually perform this transfer about 23 minutes after the initial SFAS trip that started all high pressure injection, low pressure injection and containment spray pumps assuming at their maximum flow. The accident analysis requires 360,000 gallons to be added for ECCS analysis when in modes 1, 2, 3 & 4. As shown in the above table, this condition will still be met and the attached Technical Specifications are changed accordingly.

This change to manual transfer will provide the same safety function as is performed oy the present automatic transfc: - discussed above.

Hence, no adverse environment will be created by the change and the safety function of the DH and CS pumps will not be affected. This analysis is considered justifiable to support this proposed modification.

l 2.7 Discussion . .

For the purposes of this procedure, a medium sized leak is one for which the BPI pump capacity is sufficient to maintain pressurizer level or RCS pressure. If the HPI pumps cannot keep up with the leak, then RC pres

• sure will fall until the LPI system can provide additional makeup; this is defined as a large leak and is discussed in the next section.

Depending on the size of the leak, the RCS pressure will slowly or quickly fall to the 1600 psig pressure setpoint of the SFAS for level 1 add 2

• actuation. Note that for small breaks with a complete loss of feedwater, RCS pressure may not fall low enougt.- to actuate SFAS levels 1 and 2.

Manual actuation of SFAS could be accomplished by actuating _

each component in level 1 or 2 or by actuating levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, Manual except C.S. pumps, by means of the manual actuation pushbutton.

Serial No. 678 ATTACEMENT C January 15, 1981 Description of Operation During normal plant operation the BWST Outlet Valve is open and the corresponding Containment Emergency Sump Valve is closed. An inter-lock exists between the two valves that would prevent the sump valve from being opened until the BWST Outlet Valve is fully closed.

On a Level 2 SFAS actuation, the valves will remain in their normal position. At this point, the blocking of Level 2 SFAS signals will still not allow the Containment Emergency Sump Valve from being opened until the BWST Outlet Valve is closed. When Level 5 of SFAS is ac-tuated neither valve will move. At this point, if the Level 2 SFAS signal is blocked, the Level 5 signal will block the interlock allowing the operator to manually open the Containment Emergency Sump Valve.

When the Containment Emergency Sump Valve begins to open, another inter-lock between the two valves will start closing the BWST Outlet Valve.

The transfer to the sump will be totally manual and no automatic opera-tion will be involved.
