+NRC SER dated May 1986 VIPRE-01 MOD-02 4Error corrections and enhancements 1 - 177 4Released April 1989

-NRC SER dated October 1993 8 WDominionf

-S II. VIPRE-Ol Licensing History VIPRE-01, MOD-02.1

+ Error corrections and enhancements 178 - 231

  • Released in May 2001

+ No NRC review required Recent VI PRE-01 Approved Topicals

+ Duke - VIPRE-01 + BWU CHF Correlations (2/97)

+ Westinghouse - VIPRE-01 + WRB-1, WRB-2 and WRB-2M CHF Correlations (10/99)

+ Kewaunee - VIPRE-01 + HTP CHF Correlation (9/01) 9 ;Dominiowr

/iIs VIPRE-D is VIPRE-O1

  • Dominion has made NO modifications to the NRC-approved constitutive models, equations, and algorithms in VIPRE-01
  • Vendor Proprietary CHF Correlations
  • Input/Output customizations to integrate VIPRE-01 with other codes

+ Incorporate error corrections provided by code custodian after release of VIPRE-01, Mod. 2.1 10 W'Dominionr

-i N, III. VIPRE-D is W1PREO1

  • Dominion verified that each enhancement did NOT affect any of the original internal models and algorithms present in VIPRE-01
  • Dominion process to customize VIPRE-01 is identical to other approved topicals

=> VIPRE-01 + CHF Correlations + Customizations

+ Verify that additions do not affect any of the original internal models and algorithms 11tDominion-

tiI VPRED is VIPREO1 CHF O Correlations o AREVA BWU-Z (DOM-NAF-2 Appendix A) o AREVA BWU-ZM (DOM-NAF-2 Appendix A) o AREVA BWU-N (DOM-NAF-2 Appendix A) o AREVA BWU-I o Westinghouse W-3 o Westinghouse WRB-1 12 -Dominioit

/is VPRE-D is VIPRE-O1

  • Code Customizations

-o Option to apply each CHF correlation at its applicable axial location o Checks hot channel parameters against range of validity for each CHF correlation o Increased stacked cases from 30 to 1000 o Increased # of axial nodes from 80 to 201 o Ability to adjust radial power distribution according to partial power multiplier when iterating on power for a given MDNBR 13 DDominionf

Ie DOM-NAF2 Topical Structure

  • Non-proprietary o Vendor CHF test data already at NRC o Fuel specific parameters omitted (FLC, FAHE)
  • Level of detail comparable to approved VIPRE-01 topicals
  • Divided in two parts:

o Main body - VIPRE-01 modeling choices o Appendixes - code/correlation DNBR design limits for fuel vendor CHF correlations 14 W'Dominion

IVNAIF-2 Topical Structure Compliance with VIPRE-01 SER (Section 2.2)

1. PWR licensing calculations with heat transfer regime up to CHF
2. CHF correlations reviewed and approved by NRC. DNBR design limits will be derived and submitted to NRC for review and approval.
3. Justification for all modeling assumptions
4. Appropriate time steps selected for transient analyses
5. Code maintained within Dominion's 10CFR50 Appendix B Quality Assurance program.
