1. Summary Description This evaluation supports a request to amend Appendix A of Operating Licenses NPF-2 and NPF-8 for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Unit 1 and Unit 2, respectively.

The Pressure and Temperature Limits Reports (PTLRs) for FNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 were revised to implement new 54 Effective Full Power Years pressure and temperature limit curves. The revised pressure and temperature limits were determined in accordance with the NRC approved methodology in WCAP-14040-A, "Methodology Used to Develop Cold Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves," Revision (Reference 1). revised are provided in Enclosure 4.

WCAP-17122-NP, "J. M. Farley Unit 1 Heatup and Cooldown Limit for Normal Operation," (Reference 2) contains the methodology and results of the development of new 54 heatup and cooldown pressure and temperature limit curves for FNP Unit 1. WCAP-171 is provided in Enclosure WCAP 17123-NP, M. Farley Unit 2 Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves for Normal Operation," (Reference 3) contains the methodology and results of the development of the new 54 heatup and cooldown pressure and temperature limit curves for FNP Unit 2. WCAP-17123-NP is provided in Enclosure 6.

Based on the implementation of new 54 pressure and temperature limit curves the following changes to FNP Technical Specifications (TS) are proposed:

III TS 3.4.1 "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System," Mode 4 applicability temperature 325°F), below which the LTOP must operable, would be revised::::; (this revised value will be located in the PTLR, as discussed below).

III The methodology used to determine the pressure and temperature limits identified in Specification 5.6.6, "Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)," would be revised to reference WCAP 14040-A, "Methodology to Develop Cold Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and Cool down Limit Curves," Revision 4.

In addition, the following PTLR and LTOP System related changes to the FNP TS are also proposed:

III LTOP System applicability temperature would be relocated from the FNP to the PTLR. The relocation of the LTOP System applicability temperature is based on NRC approved changes to NUREG-1431, "Standard Technical Specifications - Westinghouse Plants" (Reference 4). These changes were approved by NRC via TS (TSTF) Traveler number TSTF-233-A, "Relocate LTOP Arming to PTLR," Revision 0 (Reference 5) by letter dated July 16, 1998 (Reference 6). The proposed in TSTF-233 have subsequently been incorporated into NUREG-1431. Consistent with TSTF relocation of the LTOP System arming temperature (I.e., the FNP LTOP applicability temperature) to the PTLR would affect the following sections:

E1 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change

>> The definition of in Section 1.1 "Definitions,"

>> 3.4.6, "RCS Loops - MODE "

>> 3.4.7, Loops MODE Loops "

>> TS 0, "Pressurizer Safety Valves,"

>> TS 1 "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System,"

>> Specification 5.6.6, "Reactor Coolant (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits (PTLR)"

  • The definition of the in TS Section 1.1 and Specification 5.6.6 would be revised in accordance with TSTF-419-A, "Revise PTLR Definition and References in ISTS PTLR," (Reference 7) to eliminate redundant references to the applicable TS. Traveler 9, Revision 0 was approved by NRC by letter dated March , 2002 (Reference 8). The proposed in 9 have subsequently been incorporated into NUREG-1
  • The LCO, Actions, and Surveillance Requirements (SRs) of 3.4.12 would be revised to address a maximum two charging pumps capable of injecting into RCS to clarify the requirements to preserve the applicable safety analysis.

Appropriate Bases changes would also made consistent with the changes discussed above.

Detailed Description Due to number of changes proposed in this license amendment request, changes are categorized by type. Each type of proposed change has a different for the change and is discussed separately from the other types of changes.

Combining discussion of different types of changes is minimized in order avoid confusion. overall of the combination of changes can viewed on the TS markups included in Enclosure Revised PTlR and LTOP Applicability Temperature.

Consistent with the revised and temperature limits, a new LTOP applicability temperature (Le., temperature below which LTOP is required operable) was calculated. As a result, the LTOP applicability temperature will be revised from:::; to :::; revised value will located in the as discussed in Section 2.2.

use WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4, in determining the new pressure and temperature limits and LTOP System Applicability temperature results in a I"'n'~nr.c to the methodology identified in Specification "Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Temperature Report (PTLR)." FNP Specification contains the reporting requirements applicable to the Specification 5.6.6.b currently states:

'The analytical methods used to determine the and temperature limits be those previously reviewed and approved by specifically described in the NRC letters dated March 31, 1998 and April 3, 1 "

-4 to I\IL-12-0868 for Change NRC letters, dated March ,1998 and April 1998, are References 9 and 10, respectively.

The proposed change would revise Specification to "The analytical methods used to determine the RCS pressure and temperature limits shall be previously reviewed and approved by the NRC, specifically those described in WCAP-14040-A, 4, "Methodology Used to Develop Cold Overpressure Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves," May 2004."

2.2. Relocation of L TOP Applicability Temperature to the PTLR (TSTF-233-A)

The System applicability temperature would relocated from the FNP to the relocation the LTOP System applicability temperature is based on NRC approved changes . These changes were approved by the NRC via TSTF Traveler number TSTF-233-A by letter dated July 16, 1 The changes proposed in were subsequently incorporated into Revision 2 of NUREG-1431.

FNP LTOP System design does not include an "arming" feature, and LTOP TS only specifies an applicability temperature (Le., the temperature below which the LTOP System is required operable). As in TSTF-233, change provides an option for replacing the explicit temperature below which the LTOP system must be operable with a to the temperature as specified in the PTLR." on to "The temperature defines the LCO 3.4.1 LTOP, Applicability in MODE 4." As such, the arming temperature referred to in TSTF-233 is same as the applicability re for the LTOP System. Therefore, the changes contained in apply to the LTOP System applicability temperature.

The changes to the LTOP System applicability temperature included in 233 affect numerous sections. Consistent with TSTF-233, the LTOP System applicability temperature is used in the TS to identify the applicability of the LTOP System TS and Safety Valve TS in Mode 4. In addition, the LTOP System applicability is used in the TS as a low temperature limit for starting an pump. In some cases, where the LTOP System applicability temperature is high enough to affect the Mode 4 to Mode 3 transition temperature (Le., 350°F), the LTOP System applicability temperature is used in a note to modify the requirements of LCO "ECCS - Operating." The FNP LTOP System applicability temperature is below Mode 4 to Mode 3 transition temperature and does not impact the requirements of LCO 3.5.2. Therefore, a change to the FNP LTOP System applicability temperature only affects the FNP TS for RCS loops, the LTOP System, the Safety Valves, the PTLR definition and PTLR reporting requirements. As such, implementation of to relocate the LTOP System applicability temperature would revise the FNP as follows:

-5 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change

  • TS Section 1.1 contains the definition of the PTLR. The first sentence of the current FNP PTLR definition "The PTLR is the unit specific document that provides the reactor vessel pressure and temperature limits, including and cooldown rates, for the current reactor vessel fluence period."

The proposed change would the first sentence of the FNP PTLR definition as follows:

"The is the unit specific document that provides the reactor vessel pressure and temperature limits, including heatup and cooldown and the Low Temperature Overpressure Protection System applicability temperature, for the current reactor vessel fluence period."

  • TS 3.4.6 specifies the loop operability requirements in Mode 4, including a note pertaining to the start of an RCS pump. LCO 3.4.6 Note 2 in part:

"No RCP shall started with any RCS cold leg temperature ~

The proposed change would revise Note 2 as follows:

"No RCP shall be started with any RCS cold leg temperature ~ the Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System applicability temperature in the PTLR "

  • TS 3.4.7 the RCS loop operability requirements in Mode 5 with RCS loops filled, including a note pertaining to start of an ReS pump. LCO 3.4.7 Note 3 in part:

"No Reactor coolant pump shall be started with one or more RCS cold leg temperatures ~ 325°F unless: ... "

proposed change would Note 3 as follows:

"No Reactor coolant pump shall be started with one or more RCS cold leg temperatures ~ the Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP)

System applicability temperature in the PTLR unless: .. ,"

  • TS 3.4.10 the safety valve operability requirements including the Mode 4 applicability. The Mode 4 applicability for LCO 3.4.10 states:

"MODE 4 with all cold leg temperatures> 325°F."

E1-6

1 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change The proposed change would revise the Mode 4 applicability as follows:

"MODE 4 with all RCS cold temperatures> the Low Temperature Protection (LTOP) System applicability temperature specified in the PTLR."

'I 3.4.10 specifies the Required Actions for the pressurizer safety valves which refer to the Mode 4 applicability of LCO 3.4.10 discussed Specifically, Required Action which in MODE 4 with any RCS cold leg temperatures s 325°F."

The proposed change would revise Required Action as follows:

in MODE 4 with any RCS cold temperatures s the LTOP System applicability temperature specified in the PTLR."

'I TS 12 specifies the operability requirements for the LTOP System including the Mode 4 applicability. The Mode 4 applicability LCO 3.4.12 "MODE 4 when the temperature of one or more RCS cold legs is s 325°F."

"MODE 4 when the temperature of one or more RCS cold legs is s the L TOP System applicability temperature specified in the PTLR."

'I TS 12 contains the Required Actions for the LTOP System which refer to the Mode 4 applicability temperature requirement discussed above. Specifically, Required Action C.1 which ",t~i'o",'

"Increase cold leg temperatures to > 325°F."

The proposed change would revise Required Action C.1 as follows:

"Increase RCS cold leg temperatures to > the LTOP System applicability temperature specified in the PTLR."

'I Specification contains the requirements for the PTLR report. Specification states in "The reactor coolant system pressure and temperature limits, including heatup and cooldown rates, shall be established and documented in the

1 to Nl-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change The proposed change would Specification 5.6.6.a as follows:

"The reactor coolant system and temperature limits, including heatup and cooldown rates and the l TOP System applicability temperature, shall be established and documented in the PTlR ... "

Revision of PTLR Definition and References in the PTLR Report (TSTF-41 A) 9-A, Revision 0, was approved by the NRC by letter dated March 2002. The changes proposed in 9 have subsequently been incorporated into I\IUREG-1431. Due to other changes made to NUREG-1 ,

the PTlR requirements in NUREG-1 are in Section 5.6.4. In 9, as well as the FNP TS, the PTlR requirements are in Section 5.6.6 of the TS. This difference is noted only to avoid any potential confusion regarding the different numbering system used in later versions of NUREG-1431 and does not represent a technical change from the NRC approved 9 and NUREG 1431.

TSTF-419 contains two changes. One change simply eliminates the duplication of lCOs identified in the PTlR definition and in Section of the The lCOs identified in these two locations would commonly include lCO 3.4.3, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (PfT) limits," to address the heatup and cooldown curves moved to the and lCO 3.4.12 to address the lTOP System applicability temperature moved to the PTlR. This deletes the lCO referenced in the PTlR definition while leaving the referenced in Section 5.6.6 of TS. details of this change to the FNP TS are . . . o"',...ron below.

The second change in 9 added a bracketed description to part b of

elcncm 5.6.6 in the TS. The bracketed text describes how methodology used to determine the pressure and temperature limits should referenced in Section 5.6.6 of TS. change would allow revision number and approval date of the referenced methodology to be contained in PTlR instead of in Section 5.6.6.b of the However, in with the NRC letter to the TSTF, dated August 2011 (Reference 11), in order to approve amendment requests implementing full topical report or methodology citation (Le., WCAP-14040-A, "Methodology Develop Cold Overpressure Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves," May 2004) must included in 5.6.6.b of the TS and not in the PTLR. Therefore, as described in Section 2.1 above, the proposed the methodology in Section of FNP includes the complete citation of WCAP-14040-A, including the revision number and such, implementation of TSTF-419 results in following proposed changes to the FNP
  • TS Section 1.1 contains the definition of the PTLR. last sentence of the current FNP PTlR definition sta1tes:

-8 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change "Plant operation within these operating limits is addressed in LCO 3.4.3, "RCS and Temperature (PfT) Limits."

The proposed change would delete this last from the FNP PTLR definition.

  • Specification 5.6.6 contains the reporting requirements applicable to the FNP Specification 5.6.6.a states in part:

" ... shall established and documented in the PTLR for LCO 3.4.3."

The proposed change would this part of the FNP Specification as follows:

" ... shall be established and documented in the PTLR for the following:

LCO 3.4.3, "RCS and Temperature (PfT) Limits," and LCO 3.4.1 "Low Temperature Over Protection (LTOP)

System.""

The addition of LCO 3.4.12 to Specification 5.6.6.a is consistent with relocation of the LTOP System applicability temperature to the PTLR, discussed in Section 2.2 above. relocated applicability temperature is associated with the LTOP System, and LCO 2 contains the requirements for the LTOP System.

2.4. Revision of 3.4.12 to Incorporate the Requirement for Two Charging Pumps.

The current 3.4.12 LCO, Actions and SRs only address a maximum of one charging pump capable of injecting into the TS 12 is currently applicable in Mode 4 when one or more RCS cold leg temperatures are s However, TS 12 Note 1, which modifies the LCO requirement, in part that:

"The requirement to have only one charging pump capable of injecting into RCS is only applicable when one or more of the RCS cold legs is s 180°F; ...".

The current TS 12 not clearly address the requirement for a maximum of two RCS charging pumps capable of injecting into the RCS when all RCS cold leg temperatures are> 180°F and one or more cold leg temperatures are s In order to incorporate requirement for a maximum of two charging pumps capable of injecting into the when all cold leg are> 180°F, the proposed change would the following elements of TS 3.4.1

-9 to NL-12-0868 for Proposed Change "An LTOP System shall be with a maximum one charging pump capable of injecting into the RCS the accumulators isolated and either a or b below."

proposed change would revise the statement as follows:

"An LTOP System shall be OPERABLE with a maximum of one charging pump of injecting into the RCS when one or more of the RCS cold is :::; 180°F a maximum of two charging pumps capable of injecting into the RCS when all the cold legs are> 180°F the accumulators isolated and either a or b below."

III The two notes modifying LCD requirements would moved from the Applicability statement to below LCD statement, consistent with the position of the similar Notes in the standard 3.4.12 in NUREG-1431, Revision 4. The Notes modify the LCD, not the applicability. The change in the location the Notes addresses a format and is not technical In addition, Note 1 would be revised as follows:

Note 1 currently in "The requirement to have only one charging pump capable of injecting into the is only applicable when one or more of the cold legs is

~ 180°F; however, in this condition, two charging pumps may capable of injecting into the RCS during pump swap operations for a period of no more than 15 minutes .... "

the proposed change to the LCD (discussed above), which clarifies the cold temperatures and associated maximum required charging pumps, the proposed change to Note 1 would clarify Note to state:

'With one or more RCS cold legs ~ 180°F, two charging pumps may be capable of injecting into the RCS during pump swap operations for a period of no more than 15 minutes ...."

III The current Action Condition A "Two or more charging pumps capable of injecting into the "

proposed change would revise Condition A be applicable for either charging pump condition (a maximum of one ~ 1 or a maximum of two>

180°F), as in the revised LCD discussion above. The proposed Condition A would read as follows:

"More than the maximum required charging pump(s) capable of injecting into RCS."

III The current modifying Required Action A.1 "Two charging pumps may be capable of injecting the during pump swap operation for:::; 15 minutes."

-10 to NL*12*0868 Basis for Proposed Change the LCO is already modified by a similar, but more detailed Note (including the applicable temperature of ::; 180°F), Required Action A.1 would not applicable while complying with the Note, as the LCO (as modified by the Note) is still met. Therefore, the Note modifying Required Action Ai is not needed and would be deleted.

  • The current Required Action A.1 "Initiate action to verify a maximum of one charging pump is capable of injecting into the RCS."

Similar to the changes proposed for Actions Condition A, Required Action Ai would revised to provide the appropriate Required Action for either charging pump condition (a maximum of one::; 180°F or a maximum of two

> 180°F) as stated in the revised LCO discussion above. The proposed Required Action Ai would state:

"Initiate action to verify s maximum required charging pump(s) capable of injecting into the RCS."

  • current SR 1 1 states:

"Verify a maximum one charging pump is capable of injecting into the The proposed change would SR 3.4.1 1 to be applicable when a maximum of one charging pump is capable of injection into the RCS

180°F). such, the proposed SR 1 would "Verify a maximum of one charging pump is capable of injecting into the when one or more RCS cold legs is
:; 180°F."

In order to address the proposed LCO condition of a maximum of two charging pumps capable of injecting into RCS (when all RCS cold leg temperatures are> 180"F), a new SR is proposed. The new SR would state:

"Verify a maximum of two charging pumps are ca[)aOile of injecting into the RCS when all cold legs are> 180"F."

The Frequency of proposed 3.4.1 would be the same as existing SR 3.4.12.1 (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />).

As a result of introducing a new SR, all the subsequent (existing SR 3.4.12.2 through SR 3.4.1 would renumbered accordingly.

E1-11 to NL-12-0868 for Proposed Change

3. Technical Analysis 3.1. Revised PTLR and LTOP Applicability Temperature.

The PTLR contains pressure and temperature related limits that are plant specific, vary with fluence, and can be revised without NRC approval provided that they are calculated using an NRC approved methodology.

FNP Specification 5.6.6 contains the requirements applicable to the FNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 including the methodology to determine the pressure and temperature limits. Specifically, FNP Specification 5.6.6.b currently states:

"The analytical methods used determine the RCS and temperature limits shall be those previously reviewed and approved by the NRC, specifically those described in the NRC letters dated March 31, 1998 and April 3, 1998."

This TS license amendment request would change the NRC approved methodology currently cited in FNP Specification 5.6.6.b to the latest NRC approved methodology (Le., WCAP-14040-A, Rev. 4, "Methodology Used to Develop Cold Overpressure Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and Cool down Limit Curves," May 2004). WCAP-14040-A been approved by the NRC.

The proposed change in methodology is acceptable as it meets the requirement of FNP Specification 5.6.6 part b. Part b of Specification requires the NRC approved methodology used for determining the RCS pressure and temperature limits to in the TS. Therefore, consistent with requirements of Specification 5.6.6, any future changes to the FNP pressure and temperature limits contained in the PTLR will determined in accordance with this NRC approved methodology.

In addition, based on the revised FNP pressure and temperature limits (for EFPY), a new LTOP System applicability temperature was calculated. As a result, the applicability temperature would be revised from s; to s 275°F.

LCO 3.4.12 contains the TS requirements for the LTOP System. The LTOP controls pressure at low temperatures, so the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPS) is not compromised by violating the pressure and temperature limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix "Fracture Toughness Requirements." The reactor vessel is the limiting component for demonstrating such protection. The reactor vessel material is less tough at low temperatures than normal operating temperature. Therefore, RCS pressure is maintained low at low temperatures and is increased only as temperature is increased. The LTOP applicability temperature is limiting RCS cold temperature below which the reactor vessel may damage from a cold overpressure event. Fracture mechanics analyses establish the applicability temperature. such, the LTOP applicability temperature is the temperature below which the LTOP System is required to operable.

E1-12 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change In addition to identifying the applicability of the LTOP System in Mode 4, the LTOP System applicability temperature is used in the FNP TS identify the applicability of LCO 3.4.10 in Mode 4. Above the LTOP System applicability temperature, the Pressurizer safety are required operable to provide the required overpressure protection. Additionally, the LTOP applicability temperature is used in the FNP TS for a low temperature limit when starting an RCS pump in LCO 3.4.6 LCO 3.4.7. The temperature limit for starting an RCS pump prevents a heat input transient due temperature asymmetry within the RCS or between the RCS and steam generators. The heat input transient that may result from start of an RCS pump could cause a cold overpressure event. As such, the LTOP applicability temperature is included in several FNP TS.

revised applicability temperatures for Units 1 and 2 were calculated in accordance with ASME N-641 , "Alternative Pressure-Temperature Relationship and Low Overpressure Protection System RequirementsSection XI, Division 1," January 17, 2000 (Reference 12).

ASME Code Case N-641 presents alternative procedures for calculating pressure temperature relationships and LTOP System effective temperatures and allowable pressures. procedures provided in Code Case N-641 take into account alternative fracture toughness properties, circumferential and axial reference flaws, and plant-specific LTOP applicability temperature calculations.

ASME Code Case N-641 was first accepted by the NRC without conditions in Regulatory 1.147, "Inservice Inspection Code Acceptability, ASME Section XI, Division 1, Revision 1 June 2003," (Reference 13). ASME Code Case N-641 continues to be identified as accepted without conditions in the current version of Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 16, October 2010, (Reference 14). Regulatory Guide 1.147, Revision 1 is identified in 1 50.55a(b), "Standards approved for Incorporation by Reference," (Reference 15).

WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4, also utilizes the use of ASME Code Case N-641 for the calculation of the LTOP applicability temperature. such, proposed FNP Unit 1 and Unit 2 LTOP applicability temperatures were calculated in accordance with ASME Code N-641 , consistent with the Simplified equation provided in Section WCAP-14040-A for a three loop plant. The calculated LTOP applicability temperatures for Units 1 and 2 for the new pressure and temperature limit curves are (Unit 1) and 251°F (Unit revised LTOP System applicability temperature value that would be specified in the PTLR includes an allowance for temperature measurement uncertainty, which is OF. Accounting for instrument uncertainty ensures that the LTOP System is operable at the temperatures where it is required to be operable. The uncertainty used for the LTOP System applicability temperature is the same measurement uncertainty previously used for this purpose and approved in NRC Letter, "Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, Acceptance for Referencing of Pressure Temperature Limits Report" dated March 31, 1998 (Safety Evaluation Section 3.3.1 in Reference In addition, consistent with the current FNP and in order to minimize unit differences, the highest (most limiting) calculated temperature for FNP Unit 2 was chosen for both units. Thus, proposed LTOP applicability temperature for

-13 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change inclusion in the Unit 1 and Unit 2 PTLRs is ::; 275°F (i.e., 251°F calculated Unit 2 temperature + 21°F measurement uncertainty = 272°F conservatively rounded up to 275°F).

The relocation of the revised LTOP applicability temperature from the TS to the PTLR is discussed below in Section 3.2.

3.2. Relocation of LTOP Applicability Temperature to the PTLR (TSTF-233-A)

In many LTOP System designs, a plant specific arming feature exists that places the LTOP system in operation at the applicability temperature. The arming design feature is typically associated with plants that use power operated relief valves in the LTOP System. In plants with the arming design feature, the LTOP applicability temperature is often referred to as the "LTOP arming temperature."

The FNP LTOP System design does not include power operated relief valves and the associated "arming feature." The FNP LTOP System pressure relief capability consists of two redundant RHR relief valves or a depressurized RCS with an RCS vent of sufficient size. Therefore, the changes contained in TSTF 233 are applicable to the FNP LTOP applicability temperature and not the plant specific term of "LTOP arming temperature."

The specific value for the LTOP applicability temperature is reactor vessel plant specific and varies with vessel fluence. The use of a plant specific value in the TS, which will require periodic amendments, is not consistent with the PTLR philosophy. Reference to the PTLR for other plant specific values (e.g., LCO 3.4.3, "RCS Pressure and Temperature (PfT) limits") has been found to be acceptable, and results in simplifying the revision process when the values change with reactor fluence. Similar to the PfT limits, periodic updates to the LTOP applicability temperature can also be made without going through the license amendment process, as the methodology used to determine the limiting temperature is controlled by TS and requires NRC approval for changes. WCAP 14040-A, Revision 4, is the NRC approved methodology being proposed in the FNP TS Section 5.6.6.b, for the calculation of the LTOP applicability temperature.

As such, future changes to the LTOP applicability temperature will be made in accordance with the NRC approved methodology specified in the TS.

Based on the discussion above, the implementation of TSTF-233 in the TS for FNP Units 1 and 2 is acceptable.

3.3. Revision of PTLR Definition and References in the PTLR Report (TSTF-419 A)

TSTF-419-A, "Revise PTLR Definition and References in ISTS 5.6.6, RCS PTLR," Revision 0 was approved by the NRC by letter dated March 21, 2002.

The changes proposed in TSTF-419 have subsequently been incorporated into NUREG-1431.

TSTF-419 contains two changes, as discussed in Section 2.3 above. The only change being proposed for the FNP TS from TSTF-419 is the change that eliminates the duplication of TS LCOs identified in the PTLR definition and in Section 5.6.6 of the TS. The TS LCOs identified in these two TS locations E1-14 to I\IL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change include LCO 3.4.3 to the heatup and cooldown curves moved to the PTLR and LCO 3.4.12 to address the LTOP System temperature moved to the PTLR. This change deletes the TS referenced in the PTLR definition while leaving the TS LCOs referenced in Section 5.6.6 of the TS. The proposed change is administrative in nature and serves to eliminate duplication of information in the In addition, the proposed change was approved in 419. Therefore, the proposed change the FI\IP Unit 1 and 2 is acceptable.

3.4. Revision of TS 3.4.12 to Incorporate Requirement for Two Charging Pumps.

The FNP LTOP System pressure relief capability consists of two redundant RHR relief valves or a with a RCS vent of sufficient One RHR relief valve or the open RCS vent is sufficient to terminate an increasing pressure event. During cooldown operation, the LTOP System must operable to mitigate overpressure transients starting at an RCS cold leg temperature equal to 3.4.12 applicabiiity temperature in Mode 4 until the reactor vessel head is in Mode 6. Once reactor vessel head is raised, a sufficient RCS vent is created to mitigate any overpressure event transient. During heatup operation, the LTOP System is required operable the reactor vessel head is seated on the vessel up to when all RCS cold leg temperatures exceed the LTOP system applicability temperature. The current RHR suction relief valve setpolnt of .:s 450 psig and RCS vent of 2.85 square inches remain valid for new 54 pressure and temperature limit curves and the LTOP System applicability temperature.

current TS 3.4.12 LCO only a single charging pump capable of injecting into the RCS when one or more RCS cold leg temperatures is:S: 180°F. it is silent regarding the condition when all RCS cold leg temperatures are> 180°F but still below the TS 3.4.12 applicability temperature.

In addition, current LCO is modified by Note 1 that states:

requirement to have only one charging pump capable of injecting into the RCS is only applicable when one or more of the RCS cold legs is

180°F;"

The current 3.4.12 Bases explains Note 1 as:

"Note 1 that the to have only one charging pump capable of injecting into the RCS is only applicable when one or more of the RCS cold legs is s 180°F. This Note permits more than one charging pump to capable o'f injecting into the RCS in MODE 4 at temperatures> 180°F and specifies that the charging pump surveillance requirement need only be performed at temperatures :s: 180"F."

Instead relying on the explanation of Note 1 in Bases, proposed change would modify the TS 3.4.12 LCO and to clarify the requirements as follows:

" Adding an LCO requirement for a maximum of two charging pumps capable of injecting into the RCS when all cold temperatures are> 180°F to E1-15 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change complement the existing requirement for a single charging pump capable of injecting into the RCS when any cold leg temperature is s 180°F,

.. Modifying existing 12.1, which verifies a maximum of one charging pump is capable of injecting into the RCS, to clarify that this is required when one or more RCS cold leg temperatures is "S 1

.. Adding new SR 12.2, which would verify a maximum of two charging pumps are capable of injecting into RCS when all the cold leg temperatures are > 180°F with a Frequency in accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program (the same as SR 12.1).

The proposed change also includes changes to the 3.4.12 Actions, and to accommodate clarifications described above. All the related changes are described in detail in Section above.

The applicable aspect of the FNP LTOP System design (I.e., the RHR relief capacity) is discussed in the for TS 3.4.12 as follows:

"During LTOP MODES, the RHR System is operated for decay heat removal and low pressure letdown control. Therefore, the RHR suction isolation valves are open in piping from the hot legs to the inlets of the RHR pumps. While are open and the RHR suction valves are open, the RHR suction relief valves are exposed to the RCS and are able to relieve pressure transients in the RCS.

The RHR suction isolation valves and the RHR suction valves must open to make RHR suction valves OPERABLE for RCS overpressure mitigation. The RHR suction relief valves are spring loaded, bellows type water relief valves with pressure tolerances and accumulation limits established by Section III of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code (Ref. 3) for Class 2 relief valves. Each valve capacity to mitigate over pressurization in worst case of inadvertent startup of three charging pumps injecting into a solid RCS."

The applicable transient analysis for the LTOP System is discussed in FI\lP UFSAR "Pressure Transient Analyses" (Reference 16).

This UFSAR section the high-head safety injection pumps whiCh, for FNP design, are the same as the charging pumps. Regarding the capability the LTOP System to mitigate an overpressure tranSient due to the inadvertent operation of charging pumps, FNP UFSAR Section 5.2.2.4.3 Section III, Appendix establishes guidelines for RCS pressure during low temperature operation (~350°F). The relief system discussed in paragraph 1 serves to mitigate overpressure excursions to within these allowable limits. The worst-case mass input event was assumed to be the inadvertent operation of three high-head safety injection pumps with a maximum total flowrate of 1000 gal/min at 0 psig backpressure at RCS temperatures ~ 180°F. Due to Technical Specification restrictions that allow only one operable charging pump at temperatures < 180°F, worst

-16 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change case mass injection is limited to the start of a single charging pump at temperatures < 180°F."

Although the analysis described in Bases and UFSAR (quoted above) conservatively assumes the capacity of three charging pumps, the plant design limits the number of charging pumps that can be in service one time to two.

Based on the discussions above, the proposed change provides a clarification of the TS 3.4.12 requirements that is consistent with the intent of existing Bases, and the FNP design. It preserves the applicable FNP UFSAR pressure transient analysis for the LTOP System. Therefore, the proposed change will not adversely affect the FNP LTOP System capability to perform required safety function.

The proposed changes would also revise the TS 3.4.1 "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System," Mode 4 applicability temperature and the methodology used to determine the RCS pressure and temperature limits identified in Specification "Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)."

In addition, the proposed amendment would relocate Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) applicability temperature from FNP to the The relocation of the LTOP System applicability temperature is based on NRC approved changes to 431, "Standard Technical Specifications

The proposed amendment would also the definition of the PTLR in TS Section 1.1, "Definitions," and Specification 5.6.6, "Reactor Coolant System (RCS) Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR)," to eliminate redundant references to the applicable This change is consistent with NRC approved changes to NUREG~1431 (I.e., "Revise Definition and References in 5.6.6, RCS PTLR," Revision 0).

Additionally, the proposed amendment would revise 3.4.12, "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System," to more clearly state the requirement for a maximum of two charging pumps being capable of injecting into the to preserve the applicable analysis.

As required by 10 CFR 50.91 (a), Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) has evaluated the proposed changes to the FNP TS using the criteria in 10 50.92 and has determined that the proposed changes do not involve a significant consideration. An analysis of the of no significant hazards consideration is below:

E1-18 NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change

1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Lastly, the proposed change includes clarifications to the LTOP System TS requirements that are consistent with the FNP design and n~""(>"\1 the applicable safety analyses. The proposed changes are based on NRC approved methods, and NRC approved changes to the Standard for Westinghouse Plants.

The proposed change to the does not affect the initiators of any analyzed accident. In addition, operation in accordance with the proposed TS change ensures that previously evaluated accidents will continue to be mitigated as analyzed. Thus, the proposed change does not adversely affect the design function or operation of any structures, systems, and components important to safety.

Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed amendment involves changes to the TS requirements to incorporate new pressure and limit curves that were determined with an NRC approved methodology for the LTOP system, as well as incorporating that methodology into TS. The and temperature limit curves the integrity of the reactor vessel. The LTOP System provides overpressure protection during operation at low temperatures. In addition, this amendment proposes to adopt the NRC approved TSTF-233-A and TSTF-419-A Adoption of these TSTFs will relocate the LTOP applicability temperature from the to the PTLR and will eliminate redundant references in Sections 1.1 and of the TS. Lastly, the proposed change includes clarifications to the System TS requirements that are consistent with the FNP design and the applicable safety analyses. The proposed changes are E1-19 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change based on NRC approved methods and NRC approved changes to the Standard TS for Westinghouse Plants.

The proposed change not create any new failure modes for existing equipment or any new limiting single failures. Additionally the proposed change does not involve a change in the methods governing normal plant operation and all safety functions will continue to perform as previously assumed in accident analyses. The pressure and temperature limit curves will continue to the integrity of the reactor vessel. The System will continue to ensure that the appropriate fracture toughness margins are maintained to protect against reactor vessel failure during low temperature operation. Thus, the proposed change does not adversely affect the design function or operation of any structures, systems, and components important to safety.

Therefore, it is concluded that proposed change does not the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

In addition, this amendment proposes to adopt the NRC approved and TSTF-419-A. Adoption of these will relocate the LTOP applicabiiity temperature from TS to the and will eliminate redundant references in Sections 1.1 and 5.6.6 of the TS. Lastly, the proposed change includes clarifications to the LTOP System TS requirements that are consistent with the FNP design and preserve the applicable safety analyses. The proposed changes are based on NRC approved methods and NRC approved changes to Standard for Westinghouse Plants.

The proposed change will not adversely affect the operation of plant equipment or function equipment in the accident analysis.

pressure-temperature limit curves and System applicability temperature have determined in accordance with NRC approved methodologies. The proposed changes to the LTOP System requirements remain consistent with applicable LTOP System design, and preserve applicable safety analYSis assumptions. Additionally, no are made to the System function as assumed in the applicable safety analysis.

-20 to NL-12-0868 for Proposed Change Therefore, it is concluded that proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based upon the above analysis, SNC concludes that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration, under standards forth in 10 50.92(c), "Issuance of Amendment," and accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

4.2. Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria The proposed amendment involves changes to requirements for the pressure temperature limits, and LTOP System. LCO 3.4.3, "RCS and Temperature (PfT) " contains TS requirements for the pressure limits. pressure and temperature limit curves preserve the vessel. LCO 3.4.1 "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) " contains the requirements for the LTOP System.

The LTOP System controls RCS at low temperatures so the integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) is not compromised by violating pressure temperature limits of 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, "Fracture Toughness Requirements." reactor is the limiting RCPB component for demonstrating protection. The reactor vessel material is tough at low temperatures than at normal operating temperature. pressure, therefore, is maintained low at low temperatures and is only as temperature is increased. The following regulatory criteria are applicable to proposed amendment to PfT limits and LTOP requirements:

.. 10 CFR 50.55a(b), "Standards approved for incorporation by reference,"

which states in part:

"(b) Standards approved for incorporation by reference. and components of boiling and water cooled nuclear power reactors meet the requirements of the following standards referenced in paragraphs (b}(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5), and (b)(6) of section: The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Section III, Division 1 (excluding Non-mandatory Appendices), and XI, Division 1; the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 1 Revision "DeSign, Fabrication, and Code Acceptability, ASME Section III" (July 2010), RG 1.1 Revision 1 "Inservice Inspection Code Acceptability, ASME Section XI, Division 1" (July 2010), and ... "

.. 10 50.61, "Fracture toughness requirements for protection against pressurized thermal events," provides protection an event or transient in pressurized water (PWRs) that could cause severe overcooling (thermal shock) concurrent with or followed by significant in the vessel.

.. 10 Appendix A, "General Design for Nuclear Power Plants," Criterion 31, "Fracture prevention of coolant pressure boundary," which states:

-21 to NL-12-0868 Basis for Proposed Change "The reactor coolant pressure boundary shall be designed with sufficient margin to assure that when stressed under operating, maintenance, testing, and postulated accident conditions (1) the boundary behaves in a non brittle manner and (2) the probability of rapidly propagating fracture is minimized. The design shall reflect consideration of service temperatures and other conditions of the boundary material under operating, maintenance, testing, and postulated accident conditions and the uncertainties in determining (1) material properties, (2) the effects of irradiation on material properties, (3) residual, steady state and transient stresses, and (4) size of flaws."

"This appendix specifies fracture toughness requirements for ferritic materials of pressure-retaining components of the reactor coolant pressure boundary of light water nuclear power reactors to provide adequate margins of safety during any condition of normal operation, including anticipated operational occurrences and system hydrostatic tests, to which the pressure boundary may be subjected over its service lifetime.

The ASME Code forms the basis for the requirements of this appendix.

"ASME Code" means the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. If no section is specified, the reference is to Section III, Division 1, "Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components." "Section XI" meansSection XI, Division 1, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components." If no edition or addenda are specified, the ASME Code edition and addenda and any limitations and modifications thereof, which are specified in § 50.55a, are applicable.

The sections, editions and addenda of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code specified in § 50.55a have been approved for incorporation by reference by the Director of the Federal Register. A notice of any changes made to the material incorporated by reference will be published in the Federal Register."

"General Design Criterion (GDC) 1, "Quality Standards and Records," of Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," to Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50),

"Domestic licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities" (Ref. 1),

requires, in part, that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety functions to be performed. Where generally recognized codes and standards are used, E1-22 NL-12-0868 for Proposed Change Criterion 1 requires that they be identified and evaluated determine their applicability, adequacy, and sufficiency and be supplemented or modified as necessary to ensure a quality product in keeping with the required function."

The proposed amendment is acceptable, since the PfT limits were determined using NRC approved methodologies, and the design and function of LTOP system and associated applicability are maintained consistent with the assumptions the applicable safety analyses, the design basis of unit, and the FI\lP compliance with regulatory criteria cited above.

4.3. Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common and security or to the health and of the public.

5. Environmental Consideration A review determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use a facility component located within restricted area, as defined in 10 20, and would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant consideration, (ii) a significant change in types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents may be offsite, or (iii) a significant in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR

.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51 no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with proposed amendment.

Pressurizer Safety Valves B 3.4.10 B COOLANT (RCS) 83.4.10 Pressurizer Safety Valves BACKGROUND The pressurizer safety valves provide, in conjunction with the Reactor Protection System, overpressure protection for the RCS. The pressurizer safety valves are totally pop type, spring Ivau"" .. ,

valves with compensation. The safety valves are designed to prevent the system pressure from exceeding the system Safety Limit (SL), 2735 psig, which is 110% of the design pressure.

OI;:'....aLI;)1;: the safety valves are totally enclosed and self actuating. they are considered independent components. The relief capacity for each valve, 345,000 Ib/hr, is based on postulated overpressure transient conditions resulting from a complete loss of steam flow to the turbine.

This event results in the maximum rate into the which the minimum relief capacity for the valves. The discharge flow from the safety valves is directed to the pressurizer relief tank. This discharge flow is indicated by an increase in temperature downstream of the pressurizer safety valves or the Low Temperature increase in the pressurizer relief tank temperature or level.

Protection (LTOP) System applicability protection is required in MODES 1, 2, 3,4, and 5; temperature speCified in the wever, in MODE 4, with one or more cold leg temperatures o ,and MODE 5 and MODE 6 with the reactor vessel head on,

,PTLR overpressure protection is provided by operating procedures and by meeting the requirements of LCO 3.4.12, "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System."

The upper lower limits are on the +/- 1% tolerance requirement 1) for lifting pressures above 1000 pSig. The lift setting is for ambient conditions associated with MODES 1, 2, and 3. This requires either that the valves be set hot or that a correlation between hot and cold settings be established.

The pressurizer safety valves are part of the primary success path and mitigate the effects of postulated accidents. OPERABILITY of the safety valves ensures that pressure will be limited to 110% of design pressure. The consequences of exceeding the Farley Units 1 and 2 B 3.4.10-1 Revision1t

Pressurizer Safety Valves B 3.4.10 BASES LCO is the reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) SL of 110% of (continued) design pressure. Inoperability of one or more valves could result in exceeding the SL if a transient were to occur. The consequences of exceeding the ASME pressure limit could include damage to one or more RCS components, increased leakage. or additional stress analysis being required prior to resumption of reactor 0 eration.

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1 , and 3, and portions of MODE 4 aOOve the L TO temperature 0 , OPERABILITY of three valves is required because the combined capacity is required to keep reactor coolant pressure below 110% of its design value during certain accidents.

Overpressure protection is not required in MODE 6 with reactor vessel head detensioned.

Normally demonstration of the safety valves' lift settings will occur during shutdown and will be performed in accordance with the provisions of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

The Note allows entry into MODES 3 and 4 with the lift settings outside the LCO limits. This permits testing and examination of the safety valves at high pressure and temperature near their normal operating range, but only after the valves have had a preliminary cold setting. The cold setting gives assurance that the valves are OPERABLE near their design condition. Only one valve at a time will be removed from service for testing.

By the RCS temperature an accumulator pressure of 600 650 psig cannot exceed the LTOP limits if the accumulators are fully injected. Depressurizing the accumulators below the LTOP limit from the PTLR also gives this protection.

In MODE 4 when any RCS cold leg temperature is ~~, with one required RHR relief valve inoperable, the pressurizer level must be reduced to ~ 30% (cold calibrated) and a dedicated operator must be assigned for RCS pressure monitoring and control within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

These actions provide additional assurance that an RCS pressure transient will be rapidly identified and operator action taken to limit the transient. The RHR relief valve must be restored to OPERABLE status within a Completion Time of 7 days. Two RHR relief valves are required to provide low temperature overpressure mitigation while withstanding a single failure of an active component.

The 7 day Completion Time considers the facts that only one of the RHR relief valves is required to mitigate an overpressure transient, the actions taken to reduce pressurizer level and monitor RCS pressure, and that the likelihood of an active failure of the remaining valve path during this time period is very low.

The RCS must be depressurized and a vent must be established within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> when:

a. Both required RHR relief valves are inoperable; or
b. A Required Action and associated Completion Time of Condition A, C, or D is not met; or
c. The L TOP System is inoperable for any reason other than Condition A, B, C, or D.

The vent must be sized ~ 2.85 square inches to ensure that the flow capacity is greater than that required for the worst case mass input transient reasonable during the applicable MODES. This action is needed to protect the RCPB from a low temperature overpressure event and a possible brittle failure of the reactor vessel.

The Completion Time considers the time required to place the plant in this Condition and the relatively low probability of an overpressure event during this time period due to increased operator awareness of administrative control reqU irements.

This report affects 3.4.3, PressurelTemperature Limits (PIT) Limits. All TS requirements associated with low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) are contained in TS 3.4.12, RCS Overpressure Protection Systems.

2.0 Operating limits The limits for TS 3.4.3 are presented in the subsection which follows and were developed using the methodologies specified in The methodologies are contained in WCAP*14040-A, Revision 4[1]. The operability requirements associated with LTOP are specified in LCO 3.4.12 and were determined to adequately protect the RCS against brittle fracture in the event of an LTOP transient. The limitation on the number of operating reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) is necessary to assure operation consistent with pressure corrections incorporated in the PIT limits for flow losses associated with the RCPs.

PTLR for FNP Unit 1 4.0 Reactor Vessel Surveillance Data Credibility Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2[81, describes general procedures acceptable to the NRC staff for calculating the effects of neutron radiation embrittlement of the low-alloy steels currently used for light-water-cooled reactor vessels. Position C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1 Revision 2, describes the methodology for calculating the adjusted reference temperature and Charpy upper-shelf energy of reactor vessel beltline materials using surveillance capsule data. The methods of Position C.2 can only be applied when two or more credible surveillance data become available from the reactor in question.

Per WCAP-881 019). the Unit 1 surveillance program was based on ASTM E185-73110I* All six surveillance capsules (Y [I1 J, U [121, X [131, W [141, V 115J, and Z [7]) have been removed from Unit 1 reactor vessel and analyzed. In accordance with the discussion of Regulatory Guide 1.99, ReviSion 2, there are five requirements that must be met for the surveillance data to be judged credible.

credibility conclusions for the Farley Unit 1 surveillance plate and weld are described below:

credibility evaluation of the Farley Unit 1 Lower Shell Plate 86919-1 surveillance material is documented in Appendix 0 of WCAP:"16964-NPI7l. The credibility evaluation concluded that the surveillance data for Lower Shell Plate 86919-1 is '-""'-:..:....;::==:::..

The credibility evaluation for weld Heat # 33A277 surveillance data is documented in Appendix 0 of WCAP-17365-NP[161* The evaluation into account data from Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 and Farley Unit 1. The credibility evaluation concluded that the surveillance data for weld Heat # 33A2n is credible.

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

This report provides the and results of the generation of heatup and cooldown pressure temperature (P-T) limit curves for normal operation of the 1. M. Farley Unit I reactor vessel. The heatup and cooldown p.T limit curves were using the highest adjusted reference temperature (ART) values pertaining to J. M. Unit I . The highest ART values pertaining to an axial weld or a plate/forging were those of lower shell plate B6919-1 (using surveillance data) at both 114 thickness (I/4T) and 3/4 thickness (3/4T) locations. The P-T curves made use of the K1c methodology detailed in the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda Edition of the ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix G, and ASME Code Case N-641.

The P-T limit curves were for 54 and 72 heatup rates of 60 and 100°F/hr, and cooldown rates of 0, 20, 40, 60 and 100 °Flhr. The curves were developed without margins for instrumentation errors. The curves include a pressure correction for the static and dynamic head loss between the reactor vessel beltline and the Residual Heat Removal (RHR) relief valves. These curves can be found in 5-1 through 5-6. Appendix A contains the thermal stress intensity factors for the maximum heatup and cooldown rates for each EFPY term.

1 INTRODUCTION Heatup and cool down P- T limit curves are calculated the adjusted RTNDT (reference nil-ductility temperature) to the limiting beltline material of the reactor vesseL The RT NDT of the limiting material in the core region of the reactor vessel is detennined by using the unirradiated reactor vessel material fracture toughness properties, estimating the radiation-induced ART NDT, and adding a The unirradiated is designated as the higher of either the drop weight nil-ductility transition temperature (NDTT) or the temperature at which the material exhibits at least 50 ft-Ib of impact energy and 35-mil lateral expansion (normal to the working direction) minus 60°F.

increases as the material is exposed to fast-neutron radiation. to find the most limiting RT NDT at any time period in the reactor's life, ART NDT due to the radiation exposure associated with that time must be added to the unirradiated RT NDT (IRT NDT). The extent of the shi ft in is enhanced by certain chemical elements (such as copper and nickel) present in reactor vessel steels. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published a method for predicting radiation embrittlement in Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, "Radiation Embriulement of Reactor Vessel Materials" I],

Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, is used for the calculation of Adjusted Reference Temperature (ART) values (IRT NOT + ART NDT + margins for uncertainties) at the 114T and 3/4T locations, where T is the thickness of the vessel at the beltline measured from the clad/base metal interface.

The heatup and cooldown poT limit curves documented in this report were generated using the most limiting ART values and the NRC approved methodology documented in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4

[Reference 2J, "Methodology Used to Develop Cold Overpressure Mitigating System Setpoints and RCS Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves." Specifically, the methodology of the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda Edition of ASME Section Appendix G 3] was used.

The calculated ART values for 36, and 72 EFPY are documented in Tables 4-8 4-13 of this report. The basis fluence projections are based on the values verified by Westinghouse in letter LTR-REA-09-112, Revision I (Reference 4].

The purpose of this report is to present the calculations and the development of the 1. M. Farley Unit heatup and cooldown P-T limit curves for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY. This report documents tlte calculated ART values and the development of the P- T limit curves for nonnal operation. The P-T curves herein were generated without instrumentation errors. The P-T curves contain a pressure correction for the static and dynamic head loss between the reactor vessel beltline and the RHR relief values. The P- T curves include limits for the vessel per the of IO CFR Part Appendix G [Reference 5J.

3 CRITERIA FOR ALLOWABLE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS 3.1 OVERALL APPROACH The ASME for calculating the allowable limit curves for various heatup and cooldown rates that the total stress intensity factor, for the combined thermal and pressure stresses at any time during heatup or cooldown cannot be than the reference stress intensity KJc. for the metal temperature at that time. K,c is obtained from the reference fracture toughness curve, defined in the 1998 Edition through the 2000 Addenda of Section Appendix G of the ASME Code [Reference 3].

The curve is given by the following equation:

K[c =33.2+20.734 (1)

where, reference stress intensity factor as a function of the metal temperature T and the metal reference nil-ductility temperature RTNDT This curve is based on the lower bound of static critical KI values measured as a function of temperature on of SA-533 Grade B Class I, SA-508-1, SA-508-2, and SA-508-3 steeL 3.2 METHODOLOGY FOR PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE LIMIT CURVE DEVELOPMENT The equation for the heatup-cooldown is defined in Appendix G of the ASME Code as follows:

stress intensity factor caused by membrane (pressure) stress KII stress intensity factor caused by the thermal reference stress factor as a function of the metal temperature T and the metal reference nil-ductility temperature RTNDT C 2.0 for Level A and Level B service limits C 1.5 for hydrostatic and leak test conditions during which the reactor core is not critical WCAP-17122-NP Revision 0

For membrane tension, the corresponding Kr for the postulated defect is:

K 1m == Mm X (pRi I t) (3) where, Mm for an inside surface flaw is Mm 1.85 for Ji 2, Mm for 2:::; Ji : :; 3.464 ,

Mm 3.21 for Ji > 3.464 Similarly, Mm for an outside surface flaw is given by:

1.77 for < 2, 0.893 Ji for 2 S;  :::; 3.464, Mm 3.09 for Ji > 3.464 and p = internal pressure (ksi), Ri := vessel inner radius (in.), and t vessel wall thickness (in.).

For U""'UHI'l'. stress, the ",,,,,,,,p,,nont1, for the postulated defect is:

Klb = Mb

  • Maximum Stress, where Mb is two-thirds of Mm (4)

The maximum Kr produced radial thermal gradient for the postulated inside surface defect of 0-2120 is:

O.953xIO* 3 x CR x r's (5) where CR is the cooldown rate in or for a postulated outside surface defect (6) where HU is the heatup rate in °Flhr.

The through-wall difference associated with the maximum thermal can be determined from ASME Code,Section XI, G, 0-22]4-1. The temperature at any radial distance from the vessel surface can be determined from ASME Section Xl, Appendix 0, 0-2214-2 for the maximum thermal Kr.

WCAP-17122-NP October 2009 Revision 0

(a) The maximum thermal KI relationship and the relationship in G-2214-1 are applicable only for the conditions in G-2214.3(a)(l) and (2).

(b) Alternatively, the K for radial thermal gradient can be calculated for any thermal stress distribution and at any specified time cooldown for a Y4-thickness inside surface defect using the relationship:

Kit (1.0359Co + 0.63220 + 0.4753C2 + 0.3855CJ) * (7) or similarly, Kit during heatup for a Y4-thickness outside surface defect using the relationship:

Kif:::: (1.043Co + O.630Cl + 0.48 (8) where the coefficients Co, C 1, and are determined from the thermal stress distribution at any time the heatup or cooldown the form:

(9) and x is a variable that the radial distance (in.) from the (Le., inside or outside) surface to any point on the crack front, and a is the maximum crack depth (in.).

Luual,IVI'" 3, 7, and 8 were implemented in the OPERLIM computer which is the program used to the pressure-temperature (P-T) limit curves. The P-T curve methodology is the same as that described in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4 "Methodology Used to Develop Cold Overpressure and RCS Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves" 2] Section 2.6 (equations 2.6.2-4 and 2.6.3-\).

At any time during the heatup or cooldown is determined by the metal temperature at the tip of a postulated flaw (the postulated flaw has a depth of 1I4 of the section thickness and a length of 1.5 times the section thickness per ASME Code,Section XI, paragraph G-2120), the appropriate value for and the reference fracture toughness curve (Equation I). The thermal stresses resulting from the through the vessel wall are calculated and then the (thermal) stress intensity Kit, for the reference flaw are computed, From Equation 2, the pressure stress intensity factors are obtained and, from these, the allowable pressures are calculated.

For the calculation of the allowable pressure versus coolant temperature during cooldown, the reference 114T flaw G to Section XI of the ASME Code is assumed to exist at the inside of the vessel wall. During cooldown, the controlling location of the flaw is always at the inside of the vessel wall because the thermal gradients, which increase with cooldown rates, produce tensile stresses at the inside surface that would tend to open (propagate) the existing flaw. Allowable pressure-temperature curves are for steady-state (zero-rate) and each finite cooldown rate specified. From these curves, limit curves are constructed as the minimum of the steady-state or finite rate curve for each cooldown rate specified.

WCAP-17122-NP October 2009 Revision 0

The use of the composite curve in the cooldown analysis is necessary because control of the cooldown procedure is based on the measurement of reactor coolant temperature, whereas the limiting pressure is on the material at the tip of the assumed flaw. During cooldown, the 1/4T vessel location is at a temperature than the fluid adjacent to the vessel inner diameter. This condition, of course, is not true for the steady-state situation. It follows at any reactor coolant the L'1T across the vessel wall developed during cooldown results in a higher value of Kit at the 1/4T location for finite cooldown rates than for operation. if conditions exist so that the increase in K lc exceeds Klb the calculated aJIowable pressure will be than the value.

The above procedures are needed because there is no direct control on t"",,,,,,r,,h at the l/4T location and, allowable pressures could be lower if the rate of cooling is decreased at various intervals a cooldown ramp. The use of the composite curve eliminates this and ensures conservative operation of the system for the entire cooldown period.

Three calculations are required to detennine the limit curves for finite rates. As is done in the cooldown analysis, allowable relationships are developed for conditions as well as finite heatup rate conditions assuming the presence of a 1/4T defect at the inside of the wall. The heatup results in stresses at the inside surface that alleviate the tensile stresses produced by internal pressure. The metal at the crack lip the coolant temperature; therefore, the for the inside 1/4T flaw during heatup is lower than the Kic for the flaw during steady state conditions at the same coolant temperature. During heatup, especially at the end of the transient, conditions may exist so that the effects of thennal stresses and lower values do not offset each other, and the curve based on conditions no a lower bound of all similar curves for finite heatup rates when the 114T flaw is considered. Therefore, both cases have to be analyzed in order to ensure that al any coolant the lower value of the allowable pressure calculated for steady-state and finite heatup rates is obtained.

The third portion of the heatup analysis concerns the calculation of the limitations for the case in which a 1J4T flaw located at the 1I4T location from the outside surface is assumed. Unlike the situation at the vessel inside surface, the thermal established at the outside surface during heatup produce stresses which are tensile in nature and therefore tend to reinforce any pressure stresses present. These thermal stresses are on both the rate of heatup and the time (or coolant temperature) along the heatup ramp. Since the thermal stresses at the outside are tensile and increase with increasing heatup rates, each heatup rate must be on an individual basis.

Following the generation of curves for the steady-state and finite heatup rate situations, the fmal limit curves are produced constructing a composite curve based on a of the steady-state and finite heatup rate data. At any given the allowable pressure is taken to be the least of the three values taken from the curves under consideration, The use of the composite curve is necessary to set conservative heat up limitations because it is possible for conditions to exist over the course of the ramp. the controlling condition switches from the inside to the outside, and the pressure limit must at all times be based on analysis of the most critical criterion.

3.3 CLOSURE HEAD/VESSEL FLANGE REQUIREMENTS 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G [Reference 5J addresses the metal temperature of the closure head and vessel flange regions. This rule states that the metal temperature of the closure flange regions must exceed the material unirradiated RTNDT by at least 120°F for normal operation when the pressure exceeds 20 percent of the hydrostatic test pressure (3107 for J. M. Farley Unit I), which is calculated to be 621 The limiting unirradiated RTNOT of 60°F occurs in the vessel flange of the J. M.

Unit I reactor so the minimum allowable temperature of this is 180°F at pressures greater than 621 (without instrument uncertainties). This limit is shown in Figures 5-1 through 5-6 wherever applicable.

4 CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED REFERENCE TEMPERATURE From Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, the adjusted reference renmeranLlre (ART) for each material in the beltline region is given by tbe following expression:

ART =: Initial RTNDT + LlRTNOT + (10)

Initial RTNOT is the reference temperature for the unirradiated material as defined in paragraph NB-233I of Section III of the AS ME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code 8]. If measured values of the initial RTNDT for the material in question are not available, generic mean values for that class of material may be used, provided if there are sufficient test results to establish a mean and standard deviation for the class.

MTNOT is the mean value of the adjustment in reference temperature caused irradiation and should be calculated as follows:

LlRTNOT=CF* r028.0.10Iogf) (11)

To calculate LlRTNDT at any depth al 114T or 3/4T), the following formula must first be used to attenuate the fluence at the specific depth.

  • e (*0.24.) (12) where x inches (vessel beltline thickness is 7.875 inches) is the depth into the vessel wall measured from the vessel cladfbase metal interface. The resultant fluence is then placed in Equation I I to calculate the LlRT NOT at the depth.

The Radiation Analysis Group evaluated the vessel fluence projections in LTR-REA-09 112, Revision I 4], and the results are in Table 4-1. The evaluation methods used in Reference 4 are consistent with the methods presented in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4, "Methodology Used to Develop Cold Overpressure Mitigating System Selpoints and RCS and Cooldown Limit Curves" [Reference Tables 4-2 4-4 provide a summary of the vessel flucnce projections at the 1/4T and 3/4T locations for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY. Tables 4-5 through 4-7 contain the 1I4T and 3/4T calculated fluences and fluence factors, per Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, used to calculate the 36, 54 and 72 EFPY ART values for all beltline materials in the J. M. Farley Unit 1 reactor vessel.

Margin is calculated as M = 2 . The standard deviation for the initial RT NDT margin term (O'i) is O"F when the initial RTNDT is a measured value, and 17°F when a generic value is available. The standard deviation for the LlRTNOT margin term, 0'"" is 17°F for or and 8.5°F for plates or when credible surveillance data is used. For welds, O't. is equal to 28°F when surveillance capsule data is not used, and is 14°F (half the when credible surveillance capsule data is used. The value for O't.

need not exceed 0.5 times the mean value of LlRTNOT.

Contained in Tables 4-8 through 4-13 are the 36, 54 and 72 EFPY ART calculations at the 1I4T and 3/4T locations for of the J. M. Farley Unit I heatup and cooldown curves.

5 HEATUP AND COOLDOWN PRESSURE~TEMPERATURE LIMIT CURVES limit curves for normal heatup and cooldown of the primary reactor coolant system have been calculated for the pressure and temperature in the reactor vessel beltline using the methods discussed in Sections 3 and 4 of this report. This approved methodology is also presented in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4.

Figures 5-1, 5-3 and 5-5 the heatup curves without for possible instrumentation errors using heatup rates of 60 and 100"F/hr applicable for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY, respectively, with the "Flange-Notch" requirement and using the "Axial-flaw" methodology. 5-4 and 5-6 present the cooldown curves without for instrumentation errors using cool down rates of 0, 20, 40, 60 and 100°F/hr applicable for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY, respectively, with the "Flange-Notch" and using the "Axial-flaw" The heatup and cooldown curves were """pn,tpti the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G Also, a pressure correction for the static and dynamic head loss between the reactor vessel belt line region and the RHR relief valves is included for both the and cooldown curves at each EFPY. These curves incorporate a pressure correction of 27 psi for less than llOoP, and 60 psi for temperatures than or equal to llO'F, associated with operation of one and three reactor coolant pumps, respectively

.. tp,rp""", 10].

Allowable combinations of temperature and pressure for specific rates are below and to the right of the limit lines shown in 5-1 througb 5-6. Tbis is in addition to other which must be met before the reactor is made critical, as discussed below in the following paragraphs.

The reactor must not be made critical until pressure-temperature combinations are to the right of the criticality limit line shown in Figures 5-1, 5-3 and 5-5 (heatup curves only). The straight-line portion of the criticality limit is at the minimum permissible for the 2485 inservice hydrostatic test as by Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50. The governing equation for the hydrostatic test is defined in the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda ASME Code Section XI, Appendix G as follows:

where, Kim is the stress factor covered by membrane stress,

= 33.2 + 20.734 e[002 (T - RTNllTll, T is the minimum metal tt>",nprll and RT NDT is the metal reference nil-ductility temperature.

The criticality limit curve limits for core operation in order to provide additional actual power production. The pressure-temperature limits for core operation (except for low power physics tests) are that: I) the reactor vessel must be at a equal to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and 2) the reactor vessel WCAP-17122-NP Revision 0

must be at least 4Q"F than the minimum permissible in the pressure temperature curve for heatup and cooldown calculated as described in Section 4 of this report. For the and cooldown curves without for instrumentation errors, the minimum for the inservice hydrostatic leak tests for the 1. M. Farley Unit I reactor vessel at 36 EFPY is 238"F. The criticality limits for 54 and 72 EFPY are 247°F and 254°F, respectively. The vertical line drawn from these on the curve, a curve 4Q"F higher than the pressure temperature limit curve, constitutes the limit for core operation for the reactor vessel.

Figures 5-1 through 5-6 define all of the above limits for ensuring of non-ductile failure for the

1. M. Farley Unit I reactor vessel for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY with the "Flange-Notch" requirement, without instrumentation and with pressure correction. The data points used for the heatup and cool down pressure-temperature limit curves shown in Figures 5*1 through 5-6 are presented in Tables 5-1 through 5-6.

SUMMARY

This report provides the methodology and results of the generation of heatup and cooldown pressure temperature (P-T) limit curves for normal operation of the 1. M. Farley Unit 2 reactor vessel. The heatup and cooldown PoT limit curves were using the adjusted reference (ART) values pertaining to 1. M. Farley Unit 2. The highest ART values pertaining to an axial weld or a were those of intermediate shell plate B7212-1 (using surveillance at both 1/4 thickness (1I4T) and 3/4 thickness (3/4T) locations. The poT curves use of the methodology detailed in the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda Edition of the ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix and ASME Code Case N -641.

The P-T limit curves were generated for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY using heatup rates of 60 and 100°F/hr and cooldown rates of 0, 40, 60 and lOO°F/hr. The curves were developed without margins for instrumentation errors. The curves include a pressure correction for the static and dynamic head loss between the reactor vessel beltline region and the Residual Heat Removal (RJIR) relief valves. These curves can be found in Figures 5-1 through 5-6. Appendix A contains the thermal stress factors for the maximum heatup and cooldown rates for each EFPY term.

WCAP-17123-NP

3 1 INTRODUCTION Heatup and cooldown PoT limit curves are calculated using the adjusted RTNDT (reference nil-ductility temperature) corresponding to the limiting beltline material the reactor vessel. The adjusted RTNDT the limiting material in the core of the reactor vessel is detennined by using the unirradiated reactor vessel material fracture toughness properties, the radiation-induced t.RTNDT, and adding a margin. The un irradiated RTNDT is designated as the higher of either the drop nil-ductility transition (NDTT) or the temperature at which the material exhibits at least 50 ft-Ib of impact energy and 35-mB lateral (nonnal to the major direction) minus 60°F.

RTNDT increases as the material is exposed to fast-neutron radiation. to find the most limiting at any time period in the reactor's t.RTNDT due to the radiation exposure associated with that time period must be added to the un irradiated (IRTNDT). The extent of the shift in RTNDT is enhanced by certain chemical elements (such as copper and nickel) in reactor vessel steels. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has published a method for predicting radiation embrittlement in Guide 1.99, Revision 2, "Radiation Embrittlement of Reactor Vessel Materials" [Reference I].

Guide 1.99, Revision 2, is used for the calculation of Adjusted Reference Temperature values (IRT NDT + t.RTNDT + margins for uncertainties) at the surface, 1/4T and 3/4T locations, where T is the thickness of the vessel at the belt line measured from the clad/base metal interface.

The heatup and cooldown poT limit curves documented in this report were generated using the most limiting ART values and the NRC approved methodology documented in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4 "Methodology Used to Cold Mitigating Setpolnts and ReS Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves." the K10 methodology of the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda Edition of ASME Section Xl, Appendix G [Reference 3] was used.

The calculated ART values for 54 and 72 EFPY are documented in Tables 4-8 through 4-13 of this report. The design basis fluence projections are based on the values verified by Westinghouse in letter LTR-REA-09-112, Revision I [Reference 4].

The purpose of this is to present the calculations and the development of the J. M. Unit 2 heatup and cooldown poT limit curves for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY. This report documents the calculated ART values and the developmel'it of the P-T limit curves for nonnal operation. The P-T curves herein were generated without instrumentation errors. The P-T curves contain a pressure correction for the static and dynamic head loss between the reactor vessel beltline region and the RRR relief valves. The poT curves include limits for the vessel flange per the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G WCAP-17123-NP July2011 Revision I

Prnnr;,.I".v Class 3 2-1 2 FRACTURE TOUGHNESS PROPERTIES The fracture-toughness properties of the ferritic materials in the J. M. Farley Unit 2 reactor vessel are in Tab Ie 2*1. The unirradiated RTNDT values for the closure head and vessel flange are documented in Table 2-2.

The Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 methodology used to develop the and cooldown P-T limit curves documented in this is the same as that documented in WCAP*14040-A, Revision 4

[Reference 2]. The chemistry factors (CFs) were calculated using Regulatory Guide 1.99 Revision 2, Position 1.1 and 2.1. Position 1.1 uses the tables from the Regulatory Guide along with the best estimate copper and nickel weight which are in Table 2-1. Position 2.1 CFs are calculated based on the Charpy testing of irradiated surveillance capsule Table 2*3 summarizes the Position 1.1 and 2.1 CFs determined for the J. M. Unit 2 beltline materials.

3 CRITERIA FOR ALLOWABLE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS 3.1 OVERALL APPROACH The ASME approach for calculating the allowable limit curves for various heatup and cooldown rates that the total stress intensity factor, for the combined thermal and pressure stresses at any time during heatup or cooldown cannot be greater than the reference stress intensity K1e

  • for the metal temperature at that time. is obtained from the reference toughness curve, defined in the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda of Section XI, Appendix G of the ASME Code 3].

The Kic curve is given by the following equation:

K IC 33.2 + 20.734 *e[002(T -RT,mr)) (I)

where, (ksivin.) reference stress intensity factor as a function of the metal temperature T and the metal reference nil-ductility temperature RTNDT This K 1c curve is based on the lower bound of static critical Kr values measured as a function of temperature on specimens of SA-533 Grade B Class 1, SA-508-1, and SA-508-3 steel.

3.2 METHODOLOGY FOR PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE LIMIT CURVE DEVELOPMENT The ITlH,prnilna equation for the heatup-cooldown ,m""v",,, is defined in Appendix G of the ASME Code as follows:

The maximum K, produced radial thermal gradient for the postulated inside surface defect of G-2120 is:

The through-wall temperature difference associated with the maximum thermal KI can be detennined from ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix G, G-2214-1. The temperature at any radial distance from the vessel surface can be determined from ASME Code, Section Xl, Appendix G, Fig. G-2214-2 for the maximum thenna! K,.

Co + CI(X / a) + (9) and x is a variable that rl'irl'~'l'nlt<: the radial distance (in.) from the appropriate (Le., inside or outside) surface to any on the crack front and a is the maximum crack Note that Equations 3, 7, and 8 were implemented in the OPERLIM code, which is the program used to the pressure-temperature (P-T) limit curves. The P-T curve methodology is the same as that described in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4 "Methodology Used to Cold Overpressure Mitigating Setpoints and RCS Heatup and Cooldown Limit Curves" 2] Section 2.6 (equations 2.6.2-4 and 2.6.3-1).

At any time during the heatup or cooldown is determined the metal at the tip of a postulated flaw postulated flaw has a depth of 1/4 of the section thickness and a length of 1.5 times the section thickness per ASME Code, Section Xl, paragraph G-2(20), the appropriate value for and the reference fracture toughness curve (Equation I). The thermal stresses resulting from the through the vessel wall are calculated and then the corresponding (thermal) stress for the reference flaw are computed. From Equation 2, the pressure stress intensity from these, the allowable pressures are calculated.

For the calculation of the allowable pressure versus coolant temperature during cooldown, the reference 1/4T flaw of Appendix G to Section XI of the ASME Code is assumed to exist at the inside of the vessel wall. During cooldown, the controlling location of the flaw is always at the inside of the vessel wall because the thermal gradients, which increase with increasing cooldown rates, produce tensile stresses at the inside surface that would tend to open (propagate) the flaw. Allowable curves are for steady-state and each finite cooldown rate curves, composite limit curves are constructed as the minimum of the steady-state or finite rate curve for each cooldown rate specified.

WCAP-17123-NP July 2011 Revision 1

Class 3 The use of the composite curve in the cooldown is necessary because control of the cooldown procedure is on the measurement of reactor coolant temperature, whereas the limiting pressure is actually dependent on the material temperature at the tip of the assumed flaw. During cooldown, the 114T vessel location is at a temperature than the fluid adjacent to the vessel inner diameter. This condition, of course, is not true for the steady-state situation. It follows that, at any reactor coolant temperature, the AT (temperature) across the vessel wall developed during cooldown results in a higher value of at the l/4T location for finite cooldown rates than for operation. Furthermore, if conditions exist so that the increase in KIc exceeds Kit. the calculated allowable pressure during cooldown will be than the steady-state value.

The above procedures are needed because there is no direct control on temperature at the 1/4T location and, therefore, allowable pressures could be lower if the rate of cooling is decreased at various intervals a cooldown ramp. The use of the curve eliminates this problem and ensures conservative operation of the system for the entire cooldown period.

Three separate calculations are required to determine the limit curves for finite heatup rates. As is done in the cooldown analysis, allowable pressure-temperature relationships are developed for steady-state conditions as weH as finite heatup rate conditions assuming the presence of a 114T defect at the inside of the wall. The heatup results in compressive stresses at the inside surface that alleviate the tensile stresses produced by internal pressure. The metal temperature at the crack tip lags the coolant temperature; therefore, the for the inside 1/4T flaw during is lower than the K 1c for the flaw during steady-state conditions at the same coolant During heatup, especially at the end of the conditions may exist so that the effects of compressive thermal stresses and lower K1c values do not offset each other, and the curve based on conditions no lower bound of all similar curves for finite heatup rates when the 114T flaw is considered.

cases have to be analyzed in order to ensure that at any coolant temperature the lower value of the allowable pressure calculated for and finite rates is obtained.

The third portion of the heatup analysis concerns the calculation of the pressure~temperature limitations for the case in which a 114T flaw located at the 1/4T location from the outside surface is assumed. Unlike the situation at the vessel inside the thermal established at the outside surface during heatup stresses which are tensile in nature and therefore tend to reinforce any pressure stresses present. These thermal stresses are dependent on both the rate of heat up and the time coolant temperature) along the heatup ramp. Since the thermal stresses at the outside are tensile and increase with rates, each heatup rate must be on an individual basis.

Following the generation of curves for the steady-state and finite heatup rate U""'V"~. the final limit curves are produced by constructing a curve based on a DOIm~nV*DOI comparison of the steady-state and finite heatup rate data. At any given temperature, the allowable pressure is taken to be the least of the three values taken from the curves under consideration. The use of the composite curve is necessary to set conservative heatup limitations because it is possible for conditions to exist wherein, over the course of the heatup ramp, the controlling condition switches from the inside to the outside, and the pressure limit must at all times be based on analysis of the most critical criterion.

Class 3 3-5 3.3 CLOSURE HEADNESSEL FLANGE REQUIREMENTS 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix G [Reference 5] addresses the metal temperature of the closure head and vessel flange regions. This rule states that the metal temperature of the closure flange must exceed the material unirradiated by at least 120°F for normal operation when the pressure exceeds 20 of the hydrostatic test pressure (3107 for J. M. Unit 2), which is calculated to be 621 psig. The limiting unirradiated of60"F occurs in the vessel of the J. M.

Farley Unit 2 reactor vessel, so the minimum allowable temperature of this region is 180°F at pressures than 621 (without instrument This limit is shown in 5-1 through 5-6 wherever applicable.

4 CALCULATION OF ADJUSTED REFERENCE TEMPERATURE From Regulatory Guide I Revision 2, the adjusted reference temperature (ART) for each material in the beltline is by the following ART Initial RT NDT + L\RTNDT + Margin (10)

Initial RT NDT is the reference temperature for the unirradiated material as defined in paragraph NB-2331 of Section IU of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code [Reference 9]. If measured values of the initial for the material in question are not mean values for that class of material may be used if there are sufficient test results to establish a mean and standard deviation for the class.

is the mean value of the adjustment in reference temperature caused irradiation and should be calculated as follows:

= CF '" r028-0101ogl) (II)

To calculate L\RT NDT at any depth (e.g., at 1I4T or 3/4T), the following formula must first be used to attenuate the fluence at the depth.

"t(dcplh xl -- ""CC t,u I~ '" e (.IU4x) ( 12) where x inches belt line thickness is 7.875 inches) is the depth into the vessel wall measured from the vessel c1adlbase metal interface. The resultant tluence is then in Equation 11 to calculate the L\RTNDT at the specific depth.

The Westinghouse Radiation and Analysis Group evaluated the vessel fluence projections in LTR-REA J 12, Revision I [Reference 4], and the results are presented in Table 4-1. The evaluation methods used in Reference 4 are consistent with the methods presented in WCAP-14040-A. Revision 4, "Methodology Used to Cold Setpoints and ReS Beatup and Cooldown Limit Curves" [Reference 2]. Tables 4-2 4-4 provide a summary of the vessel fluence projections at the 1I4T and 3/4T locations for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY. Tables 4-5 through 4-7 contain the 1/4T and 3/4T calculated fluences and tluence factors, per Regulatory Guide 1 Revision 2. used to calculate the 36, 54 and 72 EFPY ART values for all beltline materials in the J. M. Farley Unit 2 reactor vessel.

Margin is calculated as M 2 . The standard deviation for the initial RTNOT margin term (Oi) is OaF when the initial RTNOT is a measured value and 17°F when a generic value is available. The standard deviation for the L\RT NOT term, Ot., is 17°F for plates or and 8.5°F for plates or when credible surveillance data is used. For welds, 06 is equal to 28°F when surveillance capsule data is not used, and is 14°F (hal f the value) when credible surveillance data is used. The value for Ot.

need not exceed 0.5 times the mean value of L\RT NDT.

Contained in Tables 4-8 through 4-13 are the 54 and 72 EFPY ART calculations at the 114T and 3/4T locations for of the 1. M. Unit 2 and cooldown curves.

5 HEATUP AND COOLDOWN PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE LIMIT CURVES Pressure-temperature limit curves for normal and cooldown of the primary reactor coolant have been calcu tated the pressure and temperature in the reactor vessel beltline region using the methods discussed in Sections 3 and 4 of this report. This approved methodology is also presented in WCAP-14040-A, Revision 4.

5-1,5-3 and 5-5 the limiting instrumentation errors using heatup rates of 60 and lOO°F/hr for 36, 54 and 72 respectively, with the "Flange-Notch" and using the "Axial-flaw" methodology. 5-2, 5-4 and 5-6 the limiting cooldown curves without for instrumentation errors cooldown rates of 0, 20, 40, 60 and lOO°F/hr applicable for 54 and 72 with the "Flange-Notch" and using the "Axial-flaw" methodology. The heatup and cool down curves were generated the 1998 the 2000 Addenda ASME Code Section XI, G. Also, a pressure correction for the static and dynamic head loss between the reactor vessel beltline and the RHR relief valves is included for both the heatup and cooldown curves at each EFPY. These curves incorporate a pressure correction of 27 for temperatures less than IIO*F and 60 for greater than or equal to IIO*F, associated with operation of one and three reactor coolant pumps, respectively 6].

Allowable combinations of temperature and pressure for specific rates are below and to the right of the limit lines shown in 5-1 through 5-6. This is in addition to other criteria, which must be met before the reactor is made as discussed in the following paragraphs.

The reactor must not be made critical until pressure-temperature combinations are to the of the limit tine shown in 5-1, 5-3 and 5-5 (heatup curves only). The straight-line portion of the criticality limit is at the minimum permissible temperature for the 2485 psig inservice hydrostatic test, as required by Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50. The governing equation for the hydrostatic testis defined in the 1998 through the 2000 Addenda ASME Code Section Appendix G as follows:

Kic == 33.2 + 20.734 T is the minimum permissible metal temperature, and is the reference nil-ductility 'I-"nnne'r",

The criticality limit curve pressure-temperature limits for core operation in order to provide additional margin during actual power production. The limits for core operation for low power physics are that: I) the reactor vessel must be at a temperature to or higher than the minimum temperature required for the inservice hydrostatic test, and 2) the reactor vessel WCAP-17123-NP July 2011 Revision I

.PTj~nr;i"'I"rv Class 3 5-2 must be at least 40°F than the minimum permissible temperature in the corresponding pressure curve for and cooldown calculated as described in Section 4 of this For the and cooldown curves without margins for instrumentation errors, the minimum for the inservice hydrostatic leak test for the J. M. Unit 2 reactor vessel at 36 EFPY is 242°F. The limits for 54 and 72 EFPY are 256°F and 264°F, The vertical line drawn from these on the curve, intersecting a curve 40°F than the pressure-limit curve, constitutes the limit for core operation for the reactor vessel.

5-1 5-6 define all of the above limits for prevention of non-ductile failure for the J. M. Farley Unit 2 reactor vessel for 36, 54 and 72 EFPY WiUl the "Flange-Notch" requirement, without instrumentation and with pressure correction. The data points used for the heatup and cool down limit curves shown in 5-1 through 5-6 are in Tables 5-1 5-6.
