Core Flow Operating Range Expansion," dated November 12, 2002 Ladies and Gentlemen:
On November 12, 2002, Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. requested a revision to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Units 1 and 2. The proposed license amendments revise TSs, as necessary, to support an expansion of the core flow operating range (i.e., Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis Plus (MELLLA+)).
On June 3, 2003, the NRC provided a verbal request for additional information (RAI) concerning the single recirculation loop operation setpoint for the Average Power Range Monitor Simulated Thermal Power - High scram function. The response to this RAI is enclosed.
Please refer any questions regarding this submittal to Mr. Edward T. ONeil, Manager - Support Services, at (910) 457-3512.

Background
On November 12, 2002, Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. requested a revision to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP), Units 1 and 2. The proposed license amendments revise TSs, as necessary, to support an expansion of the core flow operating range (i.e., Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis Plus (MELLLA+)).
On June 3, 2003, the NRC provided a verbal request for additional information (RAI) concerning the single recirculation loop operation setpoint for the Average Power Range Monitor Simulated Thermal Power - High scram function. The response to this RAI follows.
NRC Ouestion 3-1 In support of the licensee's MELLLA+ upgrade, the licensee referenced GE Nuclear Energy Report NEDC-33063P, "Safety Analysis Report for Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Units 1 and 2 Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analysis Plus," dated November 2002 (M+SAR).
Section 5.3.1, "APRM Flow-biased Scram," stated, "MELLLA+ does not apply to single loop operation (SLO). Therefore, no SLO flow-biased expressions are provided." The licensee's proposed allowable value (AV) forTS Table 3.3.1.1-1, Function 2.b, Average Power Range Monitor Simulated Thermal Power - High (STP-Hi), is given by the equation
< 0.61W + 65.2% RTP and < 117.1% RTP Note (b) states,
- [0.61 (W - AW) + 65.2% RTP] when reset for single loop operation per LCO 3.4.1, "Recirculation Loops Operating." The Value of AW is defined in plant procedures.
Provide the basis for incorporating a MELLLA+ SLO flow-biased function in the TS that is not supported by the MELLLA+ licensing topical report (M+LTR) referenced in the licensee's submittal.
Response to NRC Question 3-1 As stated in Sections 1.2.4 and 5.3.1, Single Loop Operation (SLO) is prohibited when operating in the MELLLA+ region. This is reflected in the proposed change to Limiting Condition for Operation 3.4.1, "Recirculation Loops Operating," which states, in part:
One recirculation loop may be in operation provided the plant is not operating in the MELLLA+ region defined in the COLR...
BSEP 03-0106 Enclosure Page 2 of 2 The proposed change to the Allowable Value (AV) for Function 2.b of Table 3.3.1.1-1 does not alter the proposed change to LCO 3.4.1, rather it is a result of the existing design associated with the BSEP flow-biased scram function. Specifically, the BSEP flow-biased scram function has a fixed flow-biased slope. The proposed change to MELLLA flow-biased scram for SLO allows use of the same flow-biased slope as for the two loop operation scram for MELLLA+. The affect of the proposed change is to apply a more conservative setpoint for SLO than the previous MELLLA setpoint.
