V0GTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS CHANGES I VANTAGE-5 FUEL DESIGN l
l In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR n.59, Georgia Power Company (GPC) proposes to amend the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications Appendix A to Operating Licenses NPF-68 and NPF-01. The Technical Specifications for which this change is requested allow the use of reload fuel assemblies of the Westinghouse VANTAGE-5 design. Currently, VEGP Units 1 and 2 utilize the Westinghouse LOPAR fuel design for core reloads.
In order to implement a long-term fuel management strategy planned by GPC for the VEGP Units 1 and 2, it has been decided to use fresh VANTAGE-5 fuel assemblies in each reload until a full core loading of VANTAGE-5 fuel--is achieved. This long-term strategy includes the implementation of high energy 18-month fuel cycles with high capacity factors and low leakage loading patterns, and extending discharged fuel burnup to support lead-rod burnups of 60,000 MWO/MTV. In addition, GPC plans to request a revision to the licensed power level for VEGP Units 1 and 2 from 3411 MWt to 3565 MWt in the near future; however, the Technical Specifications changes- for power l rerate are not being. pursued in this licensing amendment request. The-l- VANTAGE-5 fuel-related Technical Specifications changes are summarized in Enclosure 1 and the changes are provided in Enclosure 3.
u The Westinghouse VANTAGE-5 fuel design provides the operating characteristics (by inclusion of specific design features and by use of
,- improved methodologies'previously reviewed by the NRC) required to implement GPC's long-term fuel management strategy. The VANTAGE-5 fuel design features include smaller diameter (0FA) fuel rods, mid-span zircaloy grids, the Intermediate Flow Mixer grids, natural uranium oxide axial blankets, Integral Fuel Burnable Absorbers, extended fuel burnup, and Reconstitutable Top Nozzles. The new computer code methodologies relative to the current VEGP safety analyses used in the VEGP VANTAGE-5 safety analyses include BART/ BASH (large-break LOCA), NOTRUMP (small-break- LOCA),
and the improved 'THINC-IV-(thermal-hydraulics) computer codes, as well as

I Georgia Power a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ELV-02166 Page 2 the Revised Thermal Design Procedure, the WRB-2 DNB correlation, and the Relaxed Axial Offset Control strategy. Both the fuel design features and methodologies support the safe, efficient fuel management scheme planned for the VEGP Units 1 and 2. The real margin provided by the VANTAGE-5 fuel design and VEGP change in methodologies was used to support revised core design parameters that will provide increased operational flexibility and meet the GPC core design fuel management strategy.
The safety analyses (Enclosure 4) supporting the VANTAGE-5 fuel design and the proposed Technical Specifications changes ir.clude conservatisms to allow for future revisions to the Technical Specifications. These conservatisms include operational margin for power rerating from 3411 to 3565 MWt, additional increased peaking factors, steam generator tube plugging up to ten percent, removal of the Resistance Temperature Detector bypass loops, and a reduction in ther.nal design flow. The NSSS design parameters to which the safety analvses have been performed in support of VANTAGE-5 fuel have been generated to account for these future changes.
Enclosure 1 provides a brief description of the proposed changes and the bases for the changes.
Enclosure 2 provides the basis for a determination that the proposed changes do not involve significant hazards considerations.
Enclosure 3 provides instructions for incorporating the proposed changes into the Technical Specifications. Since VEGP uses combined Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications, the instructions for incorporating the proposed changes for each unit will be done in two phases. The first phase is the proposed Technical Specifications changes involving Vogtle 1 Cycle 4's first fuel loading of the VANTAGE-5 fuel design expected in late September 1991. Attachments la and Ib of Enclosure 3 contain the marked-up and typed changes, respectively, to be incorporded following Vogtle 1 Cycle 3 shutdown. At this point in time, the Technical Specifications changes only apply to VEGP Unit 1, while VEGP Unit 2 will continue to operate with the existing Technical Specifications until its initial loading of VANTAGE-5 fuel (about February 1992). In the second phase (Attachments 2a and 2b of Enclosure 3), Technical Specifications changes are proposed to allow Vogtle 2 Cycle 3's first fuel loading of the VANTAGE-5 fuel design expected in February 1992. Therefore, the second phase fully implements the VANTAGE-5 Technical Specifications changes for both VEGP Units 1 and 2. In summary, Phase 1 (Attachments la and Ib of Enclosure 3) revises the Technical Specifications to apply the VANTAGE-5 changes to VEGP Unit 1 only without affecting the current Technical Specifications applicable to VEGP Unit 2 operation. Phase 2 revises the Technical Specifications (Attachments 2a and 2b of Enclosure 3) to apply the VANTAGE-5 changes to both VEGP Units 1 and 2. Enclosure 3 contains the changes necessary to incorporate both Phases 1 and 2.
