Realistic Large Break LOCA (RLBLOCA) Methodology

• Current Methodology: EMF-2103 Rev. 0

• EPU Methodology: EMF-2103 Rev. 0 + NRC Transition Changes

Post-LOCA Long Term Core Cooling

• Current Methodology: Westinghouse Post LOCA LTCC Analysis Methodology

• EPU Methodology: CE Post-LOCA LTCC Analysis Methodology

Post-LOCA Long Term Core Cooling

• Additional Issues to be Addressed per NRC Request

- RV Head Mixing Volume

- Pressure Drop Between the Core and the Break

- Boric Acid Solubility Limit

- Decay Heat Multiplier of 1.2 at all times

Spent Fuel Pool Criticality

• Current Licensing Basis: ~ 4.5 wt % U235

• EPU Licensing Basis: ~ 5.0 wt % U235

- To be included in EPU LAR

- Not needed until 2012 RFO

• Issues with Recent Submittals

Containment Accident Pressure

• Current Licensing Basis Credits Containment Accident Pressure (CAP)

- Maximum current credit is 'V 4 feet

• Preliminary EPU Conditions

- Increase in overpressure credit to 'V 11 feet

- Overpressure credit less than 25% of total

Radiological Consequences Analysis

• Alternate Source Term (AST) implemented in 2001

• FCS will maintain the CLB for Radiological Dose Consequences Analysis

Radiological Consequences Analysis

• LOCA and Control Rod Ejection Accident (CREA): In accordance with RG 1.183, Rev. 0

• Heavy Load Drop (HLD) Accident: Utilizes LOCA gap fractions from RG 1.183, Rev. 0

• Non-LOCA analyses: In accordance with RG 1.183, Rev. 0, but gap fractions from NUREG/CR 5009

• Fuel Handling Accident (FHA): FCS specific gap fractions (2 x RG 1.183, Rev. 0)

Alternate PTS RuIe

• FCS License Expires August 2033

• Current PTS Rule Acceptable Through 2033

• EPU Impact
