Suspend Core Alterations AND

• Suspend movement of irradiated fuel assemblies AND
• Suspend movement of a fuel cask over the Spent Fuel Pool

Question 6

What are the ‘E’ actions of 3.7.10 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Filtration

Answer 6

Two CRV Filtration trains inoperable during CORE ALTERATIONS, during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, or during movement of a fuel cask in or over the SFP OR One or more CRV Filtration trains inoperable due to an inoperable CRE boundary during CORE ALTERATIONS, during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies, or during movement of a fuel cask in or over the SFP then IMMEDIATELY

• Suspend Core Alterations AND
• Suspend movement of irradiated fuel assemblies AND
• Suspend movement of a fuel cask over the Spent Fuel Pool

Question 7

What are the ‘F’ actions of 3.7.10 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Filtration

Answer 7

If Two CRV Filtration Trains are inoperable during Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4 other than condition B then IMMEDIATELY enter LCO 3.0.3.

Question 8

What makes a train of control room ventilation filtration operable?

Answer 8

A CRV Filtration train is considered OPERABLE when the associated:

• Main recirculation fan and emergency filter fan are OPERABLE;
• HEPA filters and charcoal absorber are not excessively restricting flow, and are capable of performing their filtration functions; and
• Required heater, ductwork, valves, and dampers are OPERABLE, and air circulation can be maintained.

CRE needs to operable as well.

Question 9

What makes the Control Room Envelope Operable?

Answer 9

In order for the CRE boundary to be considered OPERABLE

unfiltered air in-leakage past the CRE boundary and into the CRE must be less than the allowable value as determined by analyses of the DBA consequences.

When unfiltered air in-leakage is greater than the assumed flow rate, Condition B must be entered.

Unfiltered air in-leakage is air flow past the CRE boundary and any instrument or service air line leaks inside the CRE boundary.

Answer 11

If one CRV Cooling Train is inoperable – then restore to operable status within 30 days

Question 12

What are the ‘B’ Actions associated with 3.7.11 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Cooling?

Answer 12

3.7.11 B Actions

If in Mode 1-4 and inoperable CRV Cooling Train is NOT restored to operable within 30 days then be in Mode 3 within 6 hours and Mode 5 within 36 hours

Question 13

What are the ‘C’ Actions associated with 3.7.11 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Cooling?

Answer 13

3.7.11 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Cooling - C Actions

Question 15

What are the ‘E’ Actions associated with 3.7.11 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Cooling?

Answer 15

3.7.11 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Cooling - E Actions

If two CRV Cooling Trains are inoperable during Modes 1, 2, 3, or 4 then IMMEDIATELY enter LCO 3.0.3.

Question 16

What is the basis for 3.7.11 Control Room Ventilation (CRV) Cooling?

Answer 16

The CRV Cooling is considered OPERABLE when the individual components that are necessary to maintain the control room temperature are OPERABLE in both trains.

These components include the condensing units, fans, and associated temperature control instrumentation.

In addition, the CRV Cooling must be OPERABLE to the extent that air circulation can be maintained.
