a FAL

I Approach to Analyses

  • Submittal will use the same methods already approved by the NRC in Amendment 138
  • Submittal will use the same analysis assumptions as recently approved by the NRC for 30% SGTP, except for

- Inputs and operating parameters changed to be consistent with plant configuration for Increased SGTP, reduced flow and reduced power, and

- As required to achieve acceptable margins (reduced COLR limits, etc.)

5 Approach to Analyses (Contd.)

  • Submittal will include re-analysis of all limiting non-LOCA events
  • Submittal will include re-analysis of LOCA events
  • Since a single operating point is identified for Cycle 16, a range of temperatures will not be addressed as done for 30% SGTP

- Confirmation of continued applicability of the temperature range (535°F to 549°F TCold) for DNB will be provided for the DNB Tech Spec (TS 3.2-5 and TSICOLR Table 3.2-2) _

)

i Proposed Tech Spec/COLR Changes

  • TS LCO 3.2.5, DNB Parameters: Include additional footnote in Tech Spec Table 3.2-2 for 335,000 gpm RCS flow rate:

'if the Reactor Coolant System Flow Rate Is less than 335,000 gpm but greater than or equal to 300.000 gpm, then the maximum reactor THERMAL POWER shall not exceed 89% of RATED THERMAL POWER of 2700 MWth.

  • TS SR 4.2.5.2: Modify footnote on Tech Spec page 3/4 2-14 to replace "2 90%" with "2 80%"
  • Definition of RATED THERMAL POWER unchanged
  • COLR changes as required to achieve R aLplableargins-LeA rmLL System Parameters for 30% Tube Plugging Parameter Analysis Actual Proiection for 18.9%

L Applicability of methods and correlations

- Each analysis will include a determination of the applicability of methods and correlations as applied to 42% SGTP and 89% power to ensure validity of the results.

- The results of the applicability determination will be summarized in the submittal.

- No method or correlation has been identified to be outside the bounds of applicability for the revised operating conditions.

Applicability of Methods - DNB Correlations

- Pressure (psia) 1750 to 2415

- Local Mass Velocity (Mlbm/hr-ft 2 ) 0.8 to 3.16

- Local Quality (Fraction) -0.14 to 0.22

  • DNB codes identify when above parameters are outside of the above ranges of the DNB correlation.

- Pressure (psia) 1750 to 2415 The Thermal Margin I Low Pressure reactor trip and High Pressurizer Pressure Reactor trips ensure that the RCS pressure remains in the range of pressures associated with the DNB correlation. For events analyzed beyond the time of reactor trip resulting in a large RCS pressure drop, such as post-trip steamline break, other approved DNB correlations are used (W-3 correlation).

- Pressure (psia) 1000* to 2400

- Local Mass Velocity (Mlbmlhr-ft 2 ) 1.0to 5.0

F PL Applicability of Methods - SG Models

  • SG Models benchmarked against plant data (SG Pressures)
  • Adjustments made to fouling factor to match plant data
  • Used to define global boundary conditions for the safety analysis models

- Steam generator pressures

- Circulation ratios 16

Applicability of Methods - SG Models

  • SG Models use standard heat transfer correlations

- Dittus - Boelter for tube side

- Jens & Lottes for shell side (benchmarked against plant data)

- SG plugging levels have been successfully analyzed and licensed for Westinghouse-designed plants with conditions similar to St. Lucie Unit 2 42% SGTP.

- Conditions associated with 42% SGTP are within the ranges of SG model correlations.

Applicability of Methods - SG Models

Conclusions:

- SG Model results compare very favorably to actual plant data for high plugging levels

- 42% SG Tube Plugging conditions are within the ranges of the SG model heat transfer correlations.

S 19 Applicability of Methods - RETRAN Model RETRAN SG Model

- Currently used for conditions that bound the expected conditions associated with the 42% SGTP program

  • Low RCS flow conditions analyzed for Loss of Flow events, Loss of Offsite Power event, Feedline Break without offsite power event, etc.

- Although total RCS flow tends to drop with increased plugging levels, mass velocity on tube'side tends to increase

  • Low secondary side flow conditions analyzed for part-power CEA withdrawal event, zero-power events, etc.
