- EPRI RETRAN-02 --* W-RETRAN-02

- Supplemented by 1-D kinetics for selected events

" Small Break LOCA

- ANF-RELAP -- NOTRUMP

- Siemens' App. K EXEM -, ASTRUM

  • Containment analysis

- Standard W LOCA and steam line break mass & energy releases

- CONTEMPT-LT --- GOTHIC

- Adopted only if revision required

- Differences in Allowable Value Philosophies 4

5/22/2007 Project Overview ' TXU Power

" CPSES SPU is similar to other recent SPUs

" Maintain plant operations consistent with current practice

" Same fuel design

  • Design and operating margin will be protected to assure continued safe and reliable plant operation
  • Take advantage of Unit I new steam generators NSSS Analyses 4-* TXU Power Key NSSS Analysis Input Parameter Changes Licensed core 3458 MWt 3612 MWt thermal power_________
