Installation of Flow Channeling Modifications

• In-core tunnel

17 ENERCON Flow Channeling Concept Debris Transport is Reduced by Flow Channeling Concept

• Flow Channeling

- Step 1: Water inside the crane wall flows to the Reactor Cavity

- Step 2: Water travels through the Incore Instrumentation Tunnel where a majority of the debris settles

- Step 3: Relatively clean water travels to the sumps

23 ENERCON OVERALL METHODOLOGY

- Debris Identification

- Debris Generation

- Debris Transport

- Downstream Effects

- Testing

24 ENERCON Debris Identification

• Insulation

- Calsil/Asbestos, Temp-Mat, Nukon, Transco blanket, RMI, Mineral Wool, Kaowool

• Coatings

- Epoxy, Inorganic zinc, Enamel, High temperature aluminum, Phenoline

• Latent Debris

- Tape & Equipment labels, Tie wraps, Fiber board tags, Dirt & Dust, Latent Fiber

25 ENERCON Debris Generation

26 ENERCON Debris Transport Vectors showing pool flow direction on the floor

27 ENERCON Debris Transport Vectors of pool flow direction in the Incore Tunnel

28 ENERCON Debris Transport Determination

• The turbulence and vertical velocity are compared to the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and velocity metrics to suspend each kind of debris

• 3-D CFD plots show the turbulence and z velocities

• If TKE or vertical velocities not high enough - the debris would settle in tunnel

• Results show that most debris settles in the tunnel

29 ENERCON Downstream Effects

• Evaluation of Components

- Blockage of small flow paths

- Seizure of rotating components

- Wear and abrasion of surfaces

• Evaluation of Reactor Vessel and Fuel

- Reactor vessel flow paths

- Nuclear fuel

• No Downstream Effects Concerns Identified to Date

30 ENERCON Testing

• Dissolution / Erosion Measurement of Cal-Sil

• Array Head Loss for Debris

• Fiber Bypass

- Fiber Bypass testing of a prototypical module

- Bypass material characterization

31 ENERCON Current Design Basis

• Indian Points ECCS configuration is unique in that it has two independent and redundant sumps

• No single active failure will disable the IR Sump and only a passive failure will require the use of the VC Sump

• The VC Sump is not in itself single active failure protected, however, once a passive failure has occurred no more active failures would need to be considered

32 ENERCON Current Design Basis No single active failure will disable the IR Sump IR PUMP IR PUMP IR SUMP VC SUMP RHR PUMP RHR PUMP Valve M

33 ENERCON Current Design Basis Only a passive failure will require the use of the VC Sump IR PUMP IR PUMP IR SUMP VC SUMP RHR PUMP RHR PUMP Valve M

34 ENERCON Current Design Basis The VC Sump is not in itself single active failure protected IR PUMP IR PUMP IR SUMP VC SUMP RHR PUMP RHR PUMP Valve M

35 ENERCON Alternate Break

• The Alternate Break Methodology as accepted by the SER allows no single failure for breaks larger than 14 (Large Break, LBLOCA) but requires design basis rules for breaks smaller than 14 (Alternate Break, ABLOCA)

• This approach allows the VC Sump design to be limited to ABLOCA debris loads with credit for Pool Turnover

36 ENERCON Pool Turnover Strategy

• At start of recirculation the IR Sump will be in operation. VC Sump will be in stand-by

• A passive failure of the IR Sump is postulated to occur no earlier than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after the start of recirculation

• Greater than 95% of the transportable debris would be collected at the IR Sump strainer

• The VC sump strainer would be essentially clean at this time and would provide necessary recirculation cooling

37 ENERCON

38 ENERCON Alternate Break Methodology IP2/3 (Without Chemical Effects)

• LBLOCA (no single failure required to be assumed)

- IR Sump can handle LBLOCA debris load (including a single active failure)

- VC Sump can handle LBLOCA debris load after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of IR Sump recirculation

• ABLOCA (single failure required to be assumed)

- IR Sump can handle ABLOCA debris load including a single active failure

- VC Sump can handle ABLOCA debris load following 24 hrs of IR Sump recirculation assuming a passive failure of IR system

39 ENERCON Chemical Effects

• TSP (IP2 only) and Cal-Sil

- Results in Calcium Phosphate formation

• TSP/NaOH and Aluminum (IP2 & IP3)

- Results in Sodium Aluminum Silicate formation

40 ENERCON

• LBLOCA (no single failure required to be assumed)

- IR sump will handle debris + chemical loads for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (including a single active failure)

- VC sump will handle residual debris + chemical loads following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of IR Sump recirculation

• ABLOCA (single failure required to be assumed)

- IR Sump will handle debris + chemical loads for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> including a single active failure

- VC sump will handle residual debris + chemical loads following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of IR sump operation with a postulated passive failure of IR system.

- If IR sump cannot survive long term with debris + chemical loads, then VC sump must be utilized.
