15. Stability Analysis Results 15.1 Introduction Hope Creek has implemented BWROG Long Term Stability Solution Option III using the Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) as described in Reference I in Section 15.4. The plant specific Hot Channel Oscillation Magnitude (HCOM) (Reference 2 in Section 15.4) and other cycle specific stability parameters are used in the Cycle 15 Option III stability evaluation. A Backup Stability Protection (BSP) evaluation is provided in the event that.the Option III OPRM system is declared inoperable:

The following Option III OPRM stability setpoint determination described in Section 15.2 and the implementation of the associated BSP Regions described in Section 15.3 provides the stability licensing bases for Hope Creek Cycle 15.

15.2 Option III Stability Evaluation A reload Option III evaluation has been performed in accordance with the licensing methodology described in Reference 3 in Section 15.4. The stability based Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR) is determined for two conditions as a function of OPRM amplitude setpoint. The two conditions evaluated are: (1) a postulated oscillation at 45% rated core flow quasi steady-state operation (SS), and (2) a postulated oscillation following a two recirculation pump trip (2PT) from the limiting rated power operation state point.

The OPRM setpoint-dependent OLMCPR(SS) and OLMCPR(2PT) values are calculated for Cycle 15 using a DIVOM slope of 0.65 which was calculated in accordance with the BWROG regional mode DIVOM guidelines described in Reference 4 in Section 15.4. This DIVOM slope was calculated based on a radial peaking factor multiplier of 1.05 to add margin over the nominal rod patterns. Further evaluations may be necessary if the radial peaking during actual core operation is significantly different from that assumed. The Cycle 15 Option III evaluation provides adequate protection against violation of the Safety Limit MCPR (SLMCPR) for the two postulated reactor instability events as long as the plant OLMCPR is equal to or greater than the calculated OLMCPR(SS) and OLMCPR(2PT) for the selected OPRM setpoint in Table 15-1 and 15-2.

The relationship between the OPRM Successive Confirmation Count Setpoint and the OPRM Amplitude Setpoint is provided in Reference 3 in Section 15.4 and Table 15-3. For intermediate OPRM Amplitude Setpoints, the corresponding OPRM Successive Confirmation Count Setpoints may be obtained by using linear interpolation.

The OPRM setpoints for Two Loop Operation (TLO) are conservative relative to Single Loop Operation (SLO) and are therefore bounding.

Two sets of OPRM setpoints are provided. Table 15-1 assumes a 1.0 Hz corner frequency in the conditioning filter while Table 15-2 assumes a 1.5 Hz corner frequency for the conditioning filter.

15.3 Backup StabilityProtection The BSP region boundaries were calculated for Hope Creek Cycle 15 for normal feedwater temperature operation. The endpoints of the regions are defined in Table 15-4. The region boundaries, shown in Figure 15-1, are defined using the Generic Shape Function (GSF), in compliance with References 5 and 6 in Section 15.4.

15 The BSP intercepts shown in Reference 7 are based on the CLTP rated power, not the EPU rated power; therefore, they need to be scaled by multiplying the percent powers by the ratio CLTP/EPU rated power.

Revision 2 Appendix B Decrease In Core Coolant Temperature Events The Loss-of-Feedwater Heating event was analyzed at 100% rated power using the BWR Simulator Code. The use of this code is permitted in GESTAR 11. The transient plots, neutron flux and heat flux values normally reported in Section 9 are not an output of the BWR Simulator Code; therefore, those items are not included in this document. The OLMCPR result is shown in SRLR Section 11.

In addition, the Inadvertent HPCI start-up event was determined to be non-limiting.

For MCPRf, the MCPR is set to the ECCS initial MCPR limit for flows greater than 80.8%. The Safety Limit MCPR for Hope Creek Cycle 15 EPU is 1.08 and the reference Safety Limit MCPR used in Reference C-I is 1.07.

HOPE CREEK 0000-0078-1947-SRLR Reload 14 Revision 2 Appendix D Option B Licensing Basis The NRC has concluded that a statistical approach (Option B) may be used for pressurization events analyzed with ODYN (References D-l and D-2). The GEMINI statistical scram speed is provided in Table D-1.

Table D-1 GEMINI Methods: CRD Control Fraction vs. Time in BWR/2-5 0% 5% 20% 50% 90% 100%

X (sec) 0.200 .324 .694 1.459 2.535 2.804 a (sec) - - .014 .016 .031 .070 - -

The NRC Staff requires that, "in order to take credit for conservatism in the scram speed performance, it must be demonstrated that there is insufficient reason to reject the plant-specific scram speed as being within the distribution assumed in the statistical analysis".

General Electric presents the following procedure as one that satisfies the Staff's objectives for scram conformance. It should be noted that some utilities using ODYN Option B might desire to establish their own conformance procedures.

The procedure consists of testing, at the 5 percent significance level, the scram surveillance data at the 20 percent insertion position which is generated several times each cycle as required in the Reactivity Control System Technical Specification (20 percent insertion is representative of that portion of the scram most affecting the pressurization transient). The unique rod notch position closest to 20 percent (and the appropriately adjusted time of insertion) is expected to be utilized in actual plant application of this generic concept. For most plants, the surveillance requirements are as follows:

(1) all control rods are measured at beginning of cycle (BOC), and (2) X% of control rods are measured every 120 days during cycle (X is plant-dependent and ranges from 10 to 50).

At the completion of each surveillance test performed in compliance with the technical specifications surveillance requirements, the average value of all surveillance data at the 20 percent insertion position generated in the cycle to date is to be tested at the 5 percent significance level against the distribution assumed in the ODYN analyses. The surveillance information which each plant, using this procedure, will have to retain throughout the fuel cycle is the number of active control rods measured for each Page 95

HOPE CREEK 0000-0078-1947-SRLR Reload 14 Revision 2 surveillance test (the first test is at the BOC and is denoted N1 ; the ith test denoted Ni and the average scram time to the 20 percent insertion position for the active rods measured in test i denoted r,.

The equation used to calculate the overall average of all the scram data generated to date in the cycle is:

n I N, v, i=1 ae n"N I=1i where:

n= number of surveillance tests performed to date in the cycle; ZN, total number of active rods measured to date in the cycle; and ni sum of the scram time to the 20 percent insertion position of all active Z Nir, rods measured to date in the cycle to comply with the Technical i=1 Specification surveillance requirements.

The average scram time, rave, is tested against the analysis mean using the following equation:

Tae <ýcB (2) where:

T*B/ + 1. 6 5 N1 (3)

The parameters ,u and c are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution for average scram insertion time to the 20 percent position used in the ODYN Option B analysis.

If the cycle average scram time satisfies the Equation 2 criterion, continued plant operation under the ODYN Option B operating limit minimum critical power ratio (OLMCPR) for pressurization events is permitted. If not, the OLMCPR for pressurization events must be re-established, based on a linear interpolation between the Option B and Option A OLMCPRs.

The equation to establish the new operating limit for pressurization events is given below:

OLMCPRNe,, = OLMCPRQp,,,B + 'rave rB AOLMCPR (4)

TA TB Page 96

HOPE CREEK 0000-0078-1947-SRLR Reload 14 Revision 2 where:\rave and rB are defined in Equations I and 3, respectively; TA = the technical specification limit on core average scram time to the 20 percent insertion position.,

AOLMCPR = the difference between the OLMCPR calculated using Option A and that using Option B for pressurization events.

The control fractions presented in Table D-1 are based on a ratio of distance inserted to control rod stroke.

Alternatively, scram times are expressed as a function of notch position. Table D-2 provides notch positions that correspond to approximately 20% control fraction. These notch positions and times can be used in equations 1 through 4.

The SLO OLMCPR of 1.51 is required so~that the reference SLO SLMCPR of 1.12 is protected in the event of a seizure of the recirculation pump in the active loop. If the cycle-specific Safety Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (SLMCPR) changes then the SLO OLMCPR may be adjusted by the following factor:

(Cycle Specific SLMCPR / 1.12)

Thus, for HCGS Cycle 15 EPU with a SLO SLMCPR of 1.10 the SLO OLMCPR required is:

1.51 * (1.10/1.12) = 1.48 An additional 0.01 penalty is added to the SLO OLMCPR to support EPU operation (Reference E-2).

The resulting SLO OLMCPR is equal to 1.49. In order to protect the required SLO OLMCPR of 1.49 (based on a SLO SLMCPR of 1.10) the TLO full power OLMCPR of 1.30 or greater is necessary.

The feedwater heating capacity should be such that at 100% core power, feedwater temperature would be at least 409'F.

Normal operational variation in dome pressure (defined as +/- 10 psi) is acceptable as this.variation has a negligible effect on the OLMCPR.

Appendix G NEDC-33173P Safety Evaluation - Supplementary Information Requirements Limitation/Condition 6 (R-factor)

The plant specific R-factor calculation at a bundle level was performed consistent with lattice axial void conditions expected for the hot channel operating state applicable to this cycle of operation: For Hope Creek Cycle 15 at the EPU licensed power level, a 70% void profile was used for the calculation of bundle R-factors.

Limitations/Conditions 10 and 11 (Thermal/Mechanical Overpower)

The Thermal Overpower and Mechanical Overpower limiting results have been confirmed to have more than 10% margin to the design limits for all fuel types. Table G-l summarizes the percent margin to the Thermal Overpower and Mechanical Overpower limits.

Table G-1 Margin to Thermal Overpower and Mechanical Overpower Limits Criteria GE14 SVEA96 Thermal Overpower Margin 39% 13%

Mechanical Overpower Margin 39% 22%

Limitation/Condition 17 (Steady State 5 Percent Bypass Voiding)

The bypass voiding condition was evaluated for the licensed core loading and confirmed that the bypass void fraction remained below 5 percent at all LPRM levels when operating at steady-state conditions within the licensed upper boundary. For a power/flow condition that conservatively bounded the licensed power/flow upper boundary, the bypass void fraction at the D level LPRM location was calculated to be 4.5%.
