Amendment 140

-10 (20) Potential Adverse Flow Effects These license conditions provide for monitoring, evaluating, and taking prompt action in response to potential adverse flow effects as a result of power uprate operation on plant structures, systems, and components (including verifying the continued structural integrity of the steam dryer) for power ascension from CLTP (3467 MWt) to 120 percent OLTP (or 115 percent of CLTP) (3988 MWt) condition.

(a) The following requirements are placed on operation of the facility above the thermal power level of 3467 MWt for the power ascension from CLTP (3467 MWt):

1. NMPNS shall monitor the main steam line (MSL) strain gages during power ascension above 3467 MWt for increasing pressure fluctuations in the steam lines. While first increasing power above 3467 MWt, NMPNS shall collect data from the MSL strain gages at nominal 1 percent thermal power increments and evaluate steam dryer performance based on this data.
2. NMPNS shall hold the facility at 105 percent and 110 percent of 3467 MWt to collect data from the MSL strain gages required by Condition 1.a., conduct plant inspections and walkdowns, and evaluate steam dryer performance based on these data; shall provide the evaluation to the NRC staff by facsimile or electronic transmission to the NRC project manager upon completion of the evaluation; and shall not increase power above each hold pOint until 96 hours4 days <br />0.571 weeks <br />0.132 months <br /> after the NRC project manager confirms receipt of the transmission.
3. During power ascension at each 2.5 percent power level above CLTP, the licensee shall perform stress analysis for the top 100 stress locations of the steam dryer using the applicable ACM 4.1 load definition and determine the minimum alternating stress ratio. The licensee shall confirm that this ratio is equal to or greater than the ratio based on the velocity-square relationship; otherwise, the licensee shall return the facility to a lower power level where the minimum alternating stress ratio satisfies the velocity-square relationship, and shall not further increase the power without approval from the NRC. A summary of the results shall be provided for NRC review at each 5 percent data review plateau.

After completion of the full EPU test plateau (approximately 120 percent OLTP or 115 percent CLTP), the licensee shall provide the NRC a full startup test report and final stress analysis report within 90 days.

4. If any frequency peak from the MSL strain gage data exceeds the Level 1 limit curves, NMPNS shall return the facility to a power level at which the limit curve is not exceeded. NMPNS shall resolve the discrepancy, evaluate and document the continued structural integrity of the steam dryer, and provide that documentation by facsimile or electronic transmission to the NRC project manager prior to further increases in Amendment No. 140

-11 reactor power, except when stress analysis is re-performed and new limit curves are developed. In that case, NMPNS shall not further increase power above each hold point until 96 hours4 days <br />0.571 weeks <br />0.132 months <br /> after the NRC project manager confirms receipt of the transmission.

5. In addition to evaluating the MSL strain gage data, NMPNS shall monitor reactor pressure vessel water level instrumentation, and MSL piping accelerometers on an hourly basis during power ascension above 3467 MWt. If resonance frequencies are identified as increasing above nominal levels in proportion to strain gage instrumentation data, NMPNS shall stop power ascension, evaluate and document the continued structural integrity of the steam dryer, and provide that documentation to NRC staff by facsimile or electronic transmission to the NRC project manager prior to further increases in reactor power.

(b) NMPNS shall implement the following actions for the power ascension from CLTP (3467 MWt) to 120 percent OLTP (3988 MWt) condition.

1. In the event that acoustic signals (in MSL strain gage signals) are identified that challenge the limit curves during power ascension above 3467 MWt, NMPNS shall evaluate dryer loads, and stresses, including the effect of +/-1 0 percent frequency shift, and re-establish the limit curves, and shall perform a frequency-specific assessment of ACM uncertainty at the acoustic Signal frequency including application of 65 percent bias error and 10 percent uncertainty to all the SRV acoustic resonances. In the event that stress analyses are re-performed based on new strain gage data to address paragraph 1 above, the revised load definition, stress analysis, and limit curves shall include:

(a) Application of 65 percent bias error and 10 percent uncertainty to all the SRV acoustic resonances.

(b) Use of bump-up factors associated with all the SRV acoustic resonances and determined from the scale model test results.

(c) Evaluation of the effect of +/-1 0 percent frequency shifts in increments of 2.5 percent.

2. NMPNS shall incorporate in NMP2 steam dryer the design modifications identified in Section 2.2.6.1.2 of this SE before increasing the power above CLTP.
3. After reaching EPU conditions, NMPNS shall obtain measurements from the MSL strain gages and establish the steam dryer flow-induced vibration load fatigue margin for the facility, update the dryer stress report, and re-establish the limit curves with the updated ACM load definition, which will be provided to the NRC staff.

Amendment No. 140

4. NMPNS shall revise plant procedures to reflect long-term monitoring of plant parameters potentially indicative of steam dryer failure; to reflect consistency of the facility's steam dryer inspection program with BWRVIP-139; and to identify the NRC project manager for the facility as the point of contact for providing power ascension testing information during power ascension.
5. NMPNS shall submit the final EPU steam dryer load definition for the facility to the NRC upon completion of the power ascension test program.
6. NMPNS shall submit the flow-induced vibration related portions of the EPU startup test procedure to the NRC, including methodology for updating the limit curve, prior to initial power ascension above 3467 MWt.

(c) NMPNS shall prepare the EPU startup test procedure to include:

1. The stress limit curves to be applied for evaluating steam dryer performance;
2. Specific hold points and their durations during EPU power ascension;
3. Activities to be accomplished during the hold points;
4. Plant parameters to be monitored;
5. Inspections and walkdowns to be conducted for steam, feedwater, and condensate systems and components during the hold points;
