SUBJECT:

RESULTS OF PTS ANALYSIS OF CALVERT CLIFFS UNIT 1 TO POST AS PUBLIC DOCUMENTS INTO ADAMS Analysis of the Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 was part of the original plan for the PTS re-evaluation project. However, as the project developed the decision was made by the management of the old Division of Engineering Technology that detailed analysis of Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 was not needed to support the projects goals. At that time the decision was also made that the then-existing thermal hydraulic (TH) analysis of Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 should be documented, and that these TH transients should be run through the probabilistic fracture mechanics code FAVOR.

The enclosed reports document the results of these analysis. These results demonstrate that our expectations based on analysis of Oconee Unit 1, Palisades, and Beaver Valley Unit 1 are borne out for Calvert Cliffs Unit 1: that is, severe primary side events like medium to large diameter pipe breaks and stuck-open valves that later re-close dominated PTS risk.

The enclosed reports should be placed into ADAMS as public documents.
