SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 123 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-87 TXU GENERATION COMPANY LP COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-445
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated April 27, 2005 (Ref.1), as supplemented by letter dated July 20, 2005 (Ref.2), TXU Generation Company LP (the licensee), requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES), Unit 1. The supplement dated July 20, 2005, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the staff's original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on September 26, 2005, (70 FR 56191).
The licensee requested the amendment to revise TS 5.6.5, Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), by adding topical report (TR) WCAP-13060-P-A, Westinghouse Fuel Assembly Reconstitution Evaluation Methodology, (Ref. 3) to the list of NRC approved methodologies to be used at CPSES, Unit 1. TR WCAP-13060-P-A is an NRC-approved methodology for analyzing the replacement of failed or damaged fuel rods in Westinghouse-supplied fuel assemblies. Specifically, TR WCAP-13060-P-A describes a mechanical design for Westinghouse fuel assemblies that uses solid filler rods constructed of Zircaloy-4, ZIRLO, or stainless steel to replace failed or damaged fuel rods.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
In its safety evaluation (SE) for WCAP-13060-P-A, the NRC staff stated that it reviewed the TR consistent with the objectives described in Section 4.2, Fuel System Design (Ref. 4) of the Standard Review Plan (SRP). Specifically, the review focused on providing assurance of the following: 1) the fuel system is not damaged as a result of normal operation and anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs); 2) fuel system damage is never so severe as to prevent control rod insertion when it is required; 3) the number of fuel rod failures is not underestimated for postulated accidents; and 4) coolability is always maintained.
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria [(GDC)] for Nuclear Power Plants, (Ref. 5), provides a list of the minimum design requirements for nuclear power plants. Consistent with the criteria described in SRP Section 4.2, the NRC staff reviewed the TR against the following GDCs.
- GDC 10, ?Reactor design, as it relates to assuring that specified acceptable fuel design limits are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, including the effects of AOOS.
- GDC 27 ?Combined reactivity control systems capability, as it relates to the reactivity control systems being designed with appropriate margin, and in conjunction with the emergency core cooling system (ECCS), being capable of controlling reactivity and cooling the core under post accident conditions.
- GDC 35, ?Emergency core cooling, as it relates to providing an ECCS to transfer heat from the reactor core following any loss of reactor coolant at a rate such that (1) fuel and clad damage that could interfere with the continued effective core cooling is prevented and (2) clad metal- water reaction is limited to negligible amounts.
In addition to the GDC, SRP Section 4.2 requires that analyses be performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.46, Acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems for light-water nuclear power reactors, (Ref. 6) to demonstrate that specific coolability requirements for a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) are satisfied. Additionally, SRP Section 4.2 requires that fuel rod failures be accounted for in the dose analyses required by 10 CFR Part 100 for postulated accidents.
In its SE, the NRC staff used the above regulatory criteria to evaluate the proposed reconstitution methodology provided in WCAP-13060-P-A. The NRC staff determined that the above criteria would be satisfied by a licensee implementing the TR methodology provided certain limitations and conditions were met. The NRC staff provided a list of those limitations in its SE. Therefore, the purpose of this SE is not to review the methodology provided in WCAP-13060-P-A, but instead to ensure that the implementation of that methodology is consistent with the NRC staffs limitations and conditions provided in the TR SE. The NRC staffs technical evaluation is provided in Section 3.0 of this report.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
In its amendment request, the licensee provided a summary of the potential effects of the reconstituted fuel assemblies on the evaluations supporting reloaded core configurations. The analytical tools used by the licensee at CPSES, Unit 1 have been reviewed and approved by the NRC and are located in TS 5.6.5.
The licensee stated in its amendment request that, for CPSES, Unit 1 reload core configurations, the fuel rod and fuel assembly mechanical design evaluations are performed by Westinghouse using the same methodologies described in WCAP-1306-P-A. For these aspects of the analysis, the licensee is using the TR consistent with the NRC staffs approval.
With regard to the CPSES, Unit 1 nuclear design tools, the licensee stated that the application of these tools to the reconstituted fuel assembly configuration is within the set of conditions considered in the qualification. In Reference 2, the licensee stated that the nuclear design tools used are described in TR RXE-89-003-P-A, Steady State Reactor Physics Methodology. This methodology has been reviewed and approved previously by the NRC staff. Furthermore, the licensee stated that the effects of reconstituted fuel assemblies are explicitly considered and factored into the nuclear design parameters used as input to the plants safety analyses. The
licensee compared the parameters from its nuclear design tools to those listed in WCAP-13060-P-A and found that its tools provide the same information. The licensee then uses these parameters to perform thermal-hydraulic, transient, and accident evaluations to ensure the relevant event acceptance limits are met. The licensee performs its required evaluations using the analytical methodologies listed in its COLR. The NRC staff has determined that the licensee will use NRC-approved methodologies, consistent with their approval, for performing the required safety analyses on reconstituted fuel assemblies. The NRC staff also finds that the licensees comparison of its nuclear design tools to those listed in WCAP-13060-P-A provides reasonable assurance that the key design and safety parameters for both reconstituted and original fuel assemblies are evaluated as part of each core reload.
The licensees analytical methods for evaluating large and small break LOCAs at CPSES, Unit 1 are listed in TS 5.6.5.b. The licensee stated that its methodology for analyzing LOCAs differs from the approach approved in WCAP-13060-P-A. Specifically, the analysis methodologies in the TR are intended to bound several core configurations; whereas, CPSES, Unit 1's methodologies are performed on a cycle-specific basis. The licensee evaluated the potential adverse effects related to inclusion of non-heat-producing filler rods on the LOCA analyses. The licensee determined that these rods will cause a slight increase in the average power in the fuel rods. This is consistent with the NRC staffs conclusion provided in the SE report for WCAP-13060-P-A. Since the licensees LOCA evaluation methodology is performed on a cycle-specific basis, it explicitly models the reconstituted fuel assemblies each cycle and evaluates their impact on satisfying the 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criteria. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that, since the licensees LOCA methodologies have been previously reviewed and approved by the NRC staff and the licensee will explicitly analyze the effects of reconstituted assemblies to ensure the 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criteria are met, the licensee has an acceptable approach for evaluating the effects of reconstituted assemblies during LOCA events.
Similar to the differences in LOCA analysis methodologies, the licensee evaluated its analytical methods for non-LOCA events. In the TR, a reference analysis approach, or bounding analysis, is performed to develop limits on various cycle-specific parameters to demonstrate compliance with the appropriate acceptance criteria. Subsequently, cycle-specific analyses are performed to ensure that the limits are met for each reload core configuration. However, the analytical methods used at CPSES, Unit 1 are performed on a cycle-specific basis to demonstrate that the appropriate acceptance criteria are met for each transient and accident.
The CPSES, Unit 1 methods are listed in TS 5.6.5.b. In Reference 2, the licensee described a demonstration exercise it performed to verify that its subchannel analysis tool was capable of accurately modeling and evaluating the differences between reconstituted assemblies and original assemblies. The demonstration exercise modeled the approach described in WCAP-13060-P-A. The licensee determined that the departure from nucleate boiling ratio for the reconstituted fuel assembly was higher than for the original assembly. These results were consistent with those presented in the TR and accurately reflect known phenomena for reconstituted assemblies. Since the licensee will use approved methodologies for cycle-specific analysis of non-LOCA transients and accidents and has performed an adequate analysis to ensure the acceptability of the results obtained, the NRC staff finds that the licensee's use of its CPSES, Unit 1 non-LOCA analytical tools is acceptable for reconstituted assembly analysis.
Since the licensee will use approved methodologies for cycle-specific analysis of non-LOCA transients and accidents and has performed an adequate analysis to ensure the acceptability of
the results obtained, the NRC staff finds that the licensee<s use of its CPSES, Unit 1 non-LOCA analytical tools is acceptable for reconstituted assembly analysis.
The major limitation in the NRC staffs approval of the WCAP-13060-P-A was a restriction on its application to only reconstituted assemblies with mixing vane grid design. In Reference 2, the licensee confirmed that, in accordance with the restrictions on the use of methodologies listed in TS 5.6.5, it will apply the reconstitution methodology described in WCAP-13060-P-A only to fuel assemblies with Westinghouse mixing vane grid designs. Therefore, the NRC staff finds that the licensee has satisfied the limitations contained in the NRC staffs approval of WCAP-13060-P-A.
Based on the evaluation provided above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed TS change to add WCAP-13060-P-A to the list of acceptable methodologies in TS 5.6.5, is acceptable.
Specifically, the NRC staff finds that the licensees previously-approved methodologies provide reasonable assurance that the licensee will analyze reconstituted assemblies in a manner consistent with the WCAP-13060-P-A methodology and that appropriate safety and design criteria for core reloads will be satisfied.
4.0 EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES
By application dated April 27, 2005, as supplemented by letter dated July 20, 2005, the licensee requested the approval of the proposed amendment by October 8, 2005. The approval of the proposed amendment is needed to permit the licensee to use the reconstitution method of fuel assembly repair at CPSES Unit 1. The NRC staff inadvertently did not publish a Federal Register notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses, and Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination, in time to permit a 30 days period for prior public comment as required by 10 CFR 50.91. The Commission finds that exigent circumstances exist, in that the licensee and the Commission must act quickly and that time does not permit the Commission to publish a Federal Register notice allowing 30 days for prior public comment, and it also determines that the amendment involves no significant hazards.
5.0 FINAL NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION
DETERMINATION Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91(a)(6), the NRC staff has determined that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration. Under the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation of the facility in accordance with the amendment will not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The NRC staff has completed its analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration, which is presented below:
- 1. Do the proposed changes involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change is administrative in nature and as such does not impact the condition or performance of any plant structure, system or component. The core operating limits are established to support TSs 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.9. The core operating limits ensure that fuel
design limits are not exceeded during any conditions of normal operation or in the event of any AOO. The methods used to determine the core operating limits for each operating cycle are based on methods previously found acceptable by the NRC and listed in TS section 5.6.5.b.
Application of these approved methods will continue to ensure that acceptable operating limits are established to protect the fuel cladding integrity during normal operation and AOOs. The requested TS change does not involve any plant modifications or operational changes that could affect system reliability, performance, or possibility of operator error. The requested change does not affect any postulated accident precursors, does not affect any accident mitigation systems, and does not introduce any new accident initiation mechanisms.
As a result, the proposed change to the CPSES, Unit 1 TSs does not involve any increase in the probability or the consequences of any accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated since neither accident probabilities nor consequences are being affected by this proposed administrative change.
- 2. Do the proposed changes create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
The proposed change is administrative in nature, and therefore does not involve any change in station operation or physical modifications to the plant. In addition, no changes are being made in the methods used to respond to plant transients that have been previously analyzed. No changes are being made to plant parameters within which the plant is normally operated or in the setpoints, which initiate protective or mitigative actions, and no new failure modes are being introduced.
Therefore, the proposed administrative change to the CPSES, Unit 1 TSs does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Do the proposed changes involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
The proposed change is administrative in nature and does not impact station operation or any plant structure, system or component that is relied upon for accident mitigation. Furthermore, the margin of safety assumed in the plant safety analysis is not affected in any way by the proposed administrative change.
Therefore, the proposed change to the CPSES, Unit 1 TSs does not involve any reduction in a margin of safety.
The NRC staff finds that the three standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.
6.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Texas State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.
7.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant changes in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding published September 26, 2005 (70 FR 56191). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
8.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
