FPL Letter L-2006-241 - Attachment Response to Questions Regarding GOTHIC Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis Page 2 of 27 RESPONSE TO NRC INFORMATION REQUEST FOR NEXT REVISION OF SIGNIFICANCE DETERMINATION PROCESS RISK-INFORMED INSPECTION NOTEBOOK PURPOSE Reference 1 transmitted specific requests for GOTHIC modeling and analysis information regarding the Turkey Point (PTN) Unit 3 loss of residual heat removal event of March 08, 2006. The following provides the responses to these questions for transmittal to NRC.
The information requested is only for clarification of already existing analyses developed for Turkey Point Unit 3. No modifications were made to the design of Safety Related items which are necessary to assure the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, the capability to shutdown and maintain the reactor in a safely shutdown condition, or the capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents that could result in offsite exposures comparable to 10CFR100 levels. Consistent with previous PSA-related insights to risk-informed applications, this evaluation is classified as Quality Related.
These responses were based on input from Numerical Applications Inc. and Westinghouse Electric Co.
FPL Letter L-2006-241 - Attachment Response to Questions Regarding GOTHIC Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis Page 3 of 27 NRC Request Paragraph 1.0:
Please identify the decay heat curve used in the analysis and the core power level.
The nodalization diagramdoes not show the level of nodal detail in the vessel; particularlythe core, upperplenum, and hot legs. Are the core, upper plenum, and hot leg regions represented each with a single cell or are these regions axially segmented to properlytract the large void gradientsin these regions? Does GOTHIC have a level tracking model? What flow regimes are encounteredin the hot legs during these events? How is countercurrentflow modeling in GOTHIC and what limits are placed on this flow behavior? Pleaseexplain.
FPL Response:
The decay heat curve used for this analysis was a best estimate based on Reference 2 assuming actual cycle power history and event initiation at 64 hours7.407407e-4 days <br />0.0178 hours <br />1.058201e-4 weeks <br />2.4352e-5 months <br /> after shutdown from a 50% power level held for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
The GOTHIC nodalization used in this model primarily consists of single cell components. The vessel model is subdivided to show the lower plenum, core region and upper plenum. This nodalization was selected because the event being analyzed occurs several days after reactor shutdown with the system already vented and depressurized. As such, the transient with no Safety Injection progresses as a boiloff/slow mixing event. Since both the vessel and pressurizer are vented, any flow through the hot legs which does occur is a result of the density differences between the top of the core and the liquid which is pushed up into the steam generator U-tubes.
Therefore, fluid velocities are very small, and large void gradients do not develop. For analysis cases 2 and 3 with Safety Injection, voiding does not occur. The flow path nodalization utilized for this analysis does include junctions connected at the top and bottom halves of the hot legs to both the vessel and the steam generator steam generator volumes. This modeling approach enables the density differences to drive countercurrent flow through the system.
GOTHIC calculates the liquid and vapor fraction in each volume. The level in each volume is determined by the product of the liquid volume fraction and the volume height. This collapsed liquid level can be selected for display for any volume.
FPL Letter L-2006-241 - Attachment Response to Questions Regarding GOTHIC Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis Page 4 of 27 NRC Request Paragraph 2.0:
Foreach of the cases show the void fraction vs time in the following components:
- core (show the axial void distributionsin the core vs time).
- hot legs
- upperplenum adjacentthe hot legs Are the Figureslabeled hot leg level and vessel level, liquid levels or two-phase levels? If not please provide the two-phase level plots in the upperplenum and hot legs vs time. Does the nodalization/codeallow a void gradientto develop along the hot legs from the upper plenum to the location of the RHR line? How is countercurrentflow and entrainment in the hot legs model/simulated? Pleaseexplain.
FPL Response:
The requested figures are provided on the following pages for all three cases analyzed. Note that the vapor void fraction includes both steam as well as air. Therefore, since the vessel is drained to the elevation of the flange at the beginning of the event, the initial void fraction in the upper plenum is approximately 40%. However, there is no mechanism to draw air from the vessel or U-tubes into the hot legs. The liquid levels calculated by GOTHIC represent collapsed liquid levels. 'Two-phase' or 'mixture level' plots are not available, however such plots would not be meaningful since the hot legs are not being emptied during the first nine hours of Case 1. In fact, due to the heating and pressurization of the RCS, the collapsed liquid level on the primary side of the steam generators, which is initially set at the elevation of the tube sheet, rises into the lower region of the U-tubes to enable heat transfer to the secondary. For the figures depicting the results of cases 2 and 3, note that the time frames cover not more than the first hour since any voiding occurs only during this time frame. For discussion of steam entrainment into the RHR pump suction, refer to the response to NRC Request Paragraph 4.0.
As described in the response to NRC Request Paragraph 1.0, countercurrent flow occurs due to the parallel flow paths employed. Entrainment is function of inter-facial drag, which is accounted for within flow paths by GOTHIC.

FPL Letter L-2006-241 - Attachment Response to Questions Regarding GOTHIC Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis Page 10 of 27 NRC Request ParagraDh 3.0:
Please explain how heat transferin the steam generatordevelops. Does the steam compress the non-condensables into the upper portions of the active tubes or is the steam mixed with the non-condensables? How is heat transfer modeled between the primary and secondary? Are the heat transferand film coefficients level/region dependent? Explain how condensationis calculatedin the steam generators,particularlywhen the two-phase level change on both sides. Is heat transferfrom the non-condensable region modeled? Please explain.
FPL Response:
Steam will mix with the non-condensable gasses in the vapor portion of the tubes, and the vapor region will be compressed as liquid is forced into the tubes. This compression of the gases has a significant role in Case 2 after the Safety Injection pump is started, which restores the liquid level in the tubes sufficiently to allow natural circulation to occur. Standard GOTHIC heat transfer options were applied. The selected heat transfer option on the primary side of the steam generators was limited to convection into the continuous liquid phase. On the secondary side, a GOTHIC heat transfer model was selected which applies condensation to dry portions of surfaces and convection to wet portions of surfaces as applicable. This same option will also use boiling heat transfer if the surface temperature is greater than saturation. In this event, the steam generator inventory is sufficiently high that drying of the surfaces would not be expected to occur, which would preclude condensation heat transfer from taking place.
FPL Letter L-2006-241 - Attachment Response to Questions Regarding GOTHIC Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis Page 11 of 27 NRC Request Paraqraph 4.0:
What is the void fraction in the hot legs at the time RHR is placed in service? What void fraction will cause cavitation of the RHR pumps? Please show that the conditionsin the hot legs will not preclude operation of RHR at the actuation times and that the GOTHIC code properly models the void distributionsexpected in the upperplenum and hot legs.
FPL Response 4:
Reference 3 documents the results of investigations of vortexing considerations for RHR suction lines in the hot legs of Westinghouse PWRs. That report discusses individual plant tests and scale model tests to determine the minimum hot leg level for RHR operation. The required level is based on the more limiting of that level at which air is ingested on a continuous basis but not more than 2% by volume of intake flow rate or the level at which air is ingested in sporadic gulps which do not exceed 5% by volume of intake flow. For the Turkey Point hot leg and RHR suction geometry, the required hot leg level is 25.9 feet at maximum RHR flow (approximately 3.3 inches above hot leg mid-loop). During the transient, the collapsed liquid level is maintained above this required hot leg level thus vortexing is avoided.
Investigation of the NPSH requirements for the Turkey Point RHR pumps at 3700 gpm indicates that the elevation head is sufficient to provide the required NPSH without credit for RCS pressure (assuming that RCS pressure is equal to saturation pressure). Note that the RHR pumps are located approximately 28 feet below the hot leg mid-loop elevation.
Hot leg void fractions are presented in the response to NRC Request Paragraph 2.0 above. RHR can be assumed to be placed into service at any time during the time lines presented in the analysis.
FPL Letter L-2006-241 - Attachment Response to Questions Regarding GOTHIC Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis Page 12 of 27 NRC Request Paraqraph 5.0:
Please describe andpresent the benchmarking and validation effort for GOTHIC to demonstrate that the code can successfully predict key phenomena including the prediction of two-phase level swell, axial void distributionsin the core, upperplenum, and hot leg regions during periods of voiding characteristicof this event. Please describe the separate effects and integraltests used to validate GOTHIC.
FPL Response:
Extensive benchmarking of the standard GOTHIC models for heat transfer, two-phase flow, and non-condensable gas behavior has been performed and is documented in EPRI Report NAI-8907-09, GOTHIC Containment Analysis Package Qualification Report. Attachment 1 to this response presents a summary of this qualification effort. Note that NRC has approved the use of GOTHIC for Containment analyses and has also approved the use of GOTHIC by Dominion to perform Mass and Energy Release calculations (SER dated August 30, 2006).
Westinghouse developed generic plant models that include RHR system models, RCPs, thermal conductors, and steam generators models. A series of functional tests were performed with each of the new plant models to verify that they were capable of modeling the phenomena of interest during transients at shutdown. The results from the functional tests were reasonable and demonstrated that the generic plant models were able to adequately modeled the important shutdown phenomena.
Model validation testing was performed to qualify the capability of the GOTHIC code and the generic plant model noding structure for modeling the important phenomena during shutdown events. Both standalone and system models for the FLECHT SEASET test facility were constructed. Results from these models (generated using GOTHIC Version 6.1 P) were compared with FLECHT SEASET test data covering several major modes of operation, including single-phase natural 'circulation, two-phase natural circulation and reflux condensation with helium gas injection. The model results compared well with test data in the single-phase and two-phase natural circulation cooling modes. The model exhibited the expected overall behavior under reflux condensation conditions as well. The results of these data comparisons provided validation for the GOTHIC FLECHT SEASET model under single-phase and two-phase natural circulation conditions and form a basis for the full scale shutdown analysis plant models operating in those cooling modes. To calculate the proper two-phase flow in natural circulation, the code must provide a reasonable calculation of the void distribution in the upper plenum, hot legs and SG tubes.
Note that GOTHIC has been used extensively for analysis of Pressurized Water Reactor shutdown operations as documented in References 4, 5 and 6.
FPL Letter L-2006-241 - Attachment Response to Questions Regarding GOTHIC Thermal-Hydraulic Analysis Page 13 of 27 NRC Request ParagraDh 6.0:
What sensitivity studies were performed to justify the model and the adequacy of the simulations?
What time steps were used in the analyses? Pleasediscuss the sensitivity of the results to the mannerin which the void fraction is determined (flow regimes and drag modeling of void in two-phase regions)? Pleaseexplain.
FPL Response 6:
The impact of changes to model parameters such as noding and heat transfer options was not evaluated. GOTHIC automatically calculates a time step size to be used at each time step that falls within the range selected by the user. GOTHIC determines the time step size based on solution stability (e.g., flow and phase change Courant limits, avoiding large variations in calculated parameters, oscillations in gravity-driven systems, etc.). A minimum time step of 0.0001 was applied in all cases.

There is also a number located above each columnh eading onthe first page of the matrix to idenrift the toto namber of tests that apply tothat p*atticlar phenomenon.
Note that some of thie tests repreent comparison with two or more experiments but thaT only one test is credited in the validation tally. For those phenomena marked with a zero in the top ro,, none of the tests currently- identified in the matrix provide sig3ificant valida-tion for the phenomenon.. The validation rally is also shaded to indicate the lesting cover-are. No -hading for phenomena with no relevant lesting, light shading for I test, medium shadimg for 2 to 4 tests and dark shading for 5 or more relevant tests.
