Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 1-1 1.0 Introduction The licensing analyses described herein were generated by AREVA NP to support Monticello M
T Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) operation for transitioning to ATRIUM 1OXM* fuel starting in Cycle 28. The analyses were performed using methodologies previously approved for generic application to boiling water reactors with some exceptions which are explicitly described in this transition licensing amendment request (LAR). The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) technical limitations associated with the application of the approved methodologies have been satisfied by these analyses.
Licensing analyses support a "representative" core design presented in Reference 1. The representative core design consists of a total of 484 fuel assemblies, including [ ] fresh ATRIUM 1OXM assemblies and [ ] irradiated GE14 assemblies. The analyses are prepared to be the best representation of the proposed MNGP configuration (i.e., extended power uprate (EPU) at maximum extended load line limit analysis (MELLLA)). However, the Cycle 28 core design used in this process is only a best-estimate design that is used as a representative design (because key factors such as Cycle 26 and Cycle 27 fuel depletions can only be estimated at this time). This process of using a representative core for licensing fuel transitions has precedent. The precedent recognizes that a representative core design is adequate for the purposes of the LAR, which are: (1) demonstrate that core design meets the applicability requirements of the new analysis methods, (2) demonstrate that the results can meet the proposed safety limits, and (3) demonstrate either existing Technical Specification limits do not need to be revised for the fuel transition or the needed revisions are identified. The representative core design for these analyses assures that the actual Cycle 28 core design meets all these objectives. Ultimately, the reload process will confirm the applicability of all plant inputs (including plant design changes made in the interim period) for all the appropriate safety analyses and will also perform the final confirmation that safety limits are satisfied for the actual core design that will be loaded.
These licensing analyses were performed for potentially limiting events and analyses identified in Section 2.0. Results of analyses are used to establish the Technical Specifications/COLR limits and ensure design and licensing criteria are met. Design and safety analyses are based on both operational assumptions and plant parameters provided by the utility. The results of the reload licensing analysis support operation for the power/flow map presented in Figure 1.1 and

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 2-1 2.0 Disposition of Events The objective of this section is to identify limiting events for analysis using AREVA methods, supporting operation with GE14 and ATRIUM 1OXM fuel. Events and analyses identified as potentially limiting are either evaluated generically for the introduction of AREVA methods and fuel or on a cycle-specific basis.
The first step is to identify the licensing basis of the plant. Included in the licensing basis are descriptions of the postulated events/analyses and the associated criteria. Fuel-related system design criteria must be met, ensuring regulatory compliance and safe operation. The licensing basis, related to fuel and applicable for reload analysis, is contained in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) (Reference 2), the Technical Specifications (References 3 and 4), Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), and other reload analysis reports. The licensing basis for EPU operation is obtained from Reference 5 (and supplements). Reference 6 provides the applicability of AREVA BWR methods to extended power flow operating domain at Monticello.
AREVA reviewed all fuel-related design criteria, events, and analyses identified in the licensing basis. When operating limits are established to ensure acceptable consequences of an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO) or accident, the fuel-related aspects of the system design criteria are met. All fuel-related events were reviewed and dispositioned into one of the following categories:
No further analysis required. This classification may result from one of the following:
The consequences of the event have been previously shown to be bounded by consequences of a different event and the introduction of a new fuel design does not change that conclusion.
The consequences of the event are benign, i.e., the event causes no significant change in margins to the operating limits.
The event is not affected by the introduction of a new fuel design and/or the current analysis of record remains applicable.
Address event each following reload. The consequences of the event are potentially limiting and need to be addressed each reload.
Address event for initial licensing analysis. This classification may result from one of the following:
The analysis is performed using conservative bounding assumptions and inputs such that the initial licensing analysis results will remain applicable for following reloads of the same fuel design (ATRIUM 1OXM).

The impact of operation in the EOOS scenarios presented in Table 1.1 was also considered.
A disposition of events summary is presented in Table 2.1. The disposition summary presents a list of the events and analyses, the corresponding USAR section, the disposition status, and any applicable comments.
The disposition for the EOOS scenarios is summarized in Table 2.2. Increased Core Flow (ICF) and MELLLA operation regions of the power/flow map are included in the disposition results presented in Table 2.1.

The GE14 fuel is analyzed and monitored with the SPCB critical power correlation (Reference 13). The SPCB additive constants and additive constant uncertainty for the GE14 fuel were developed using the indirect approach described in Reference 14.
Results of thermal-hydraulic characterization and compatibility analyses are presented in Reference 11. Analysis results demonstrate the thermal-hydraulic design and compatibility criteria are satisfied for the transition core consisting of ATRIUM 1QXM and GE14 fuel.
4.2 Safety Limit MCPR Analysis The safety limit MCPR (SLMCPR) is defined as the minimum value of the critical power ratio ensuring less than 0.1% of the fuel rods are expected to experience boiling transition during normal operation, or an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO). The SLMCPR for all fuel was determined using the methodology described in Reference 12. Determination of the SLMCPR explicitly includes the effects of channel bow. Fuel channels cannot be used for more than one fuel bundle lifetime.
The analysis was performed with a power distribution conservatively representing expected reactor operation throughout the cycle. Fuel- and plant-related uncertainties used in the SLMCPR analysis come from valid references and/or the licensee and are presented in Table 4.1. The radial power uncertainty used in the analysis includes the effects of up to 1 traversing incore probe (TIP) machine out-of-service (TIPOOS) or the equivalent number of TIP channels and/or up to 50% of the LPRMs out-of-service and a 1200 effective full-power hour (EFPH) LPRM calibration interval.
Analyses were performed for the minimum and maximum core flow conditions associated with rated power for the Monticello power/flow map for EPU/MELLLA operation (statepoints identified as "K"and "D"in Figure 1.1).
Analysis results support two-loop operation (TLO) SLMCPR of 1.12 and single-loop operation (SLO) SLMCPR of 1.13. Analysis results including the SLMCPR and the percentage of rods expected to experience boiling transition are summarized in Table 4.2.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 4-2 4.3 Core Hydrodynamic Stability Monticello has implemented BWROG Long Term Stability Solution Option III (Oscillation Power Range Monitor-OPRM). Reload validation has been performed in accordance with Reference 18. The stability based Operating Limit MCPR (OLMCPR) is provided for two conditions as a function of OPRM amplitude setpoint in Table 4.3. The two conditions evaluated are for a postulated oscillation at 45% core flow steady-state operation (SS) and following a two recirculation pump trip (2PT) from the limiting full power operation state point. The Cycle 28 power- and flow-dependent limits provide adequate protection against violation of the SLMCPR for postulated reactor instability as long as the operating limit is greater than or equal to the specified value for the selected OPRM setpoint.
AREVA has performed calculations for the relative change in CPR as a function of the calculated hot channel oscillation magnitude (HCOM). These calculations were performed with the RAMONA5-FA code in accordance with Reference 19. This code is a coupled neutronic-thermal-hydraulic three-dimensional transient model for the purpose of determining the relationship between the relative change in ACPR and the HCOM on a plant specific basis. The stability-based OLMCPRs are calculated using the most limiting of the calculated change in relative ACPR for a given oscillation magnitude or the generic value provided in Reference 18.
The generic value was determined to be limiting for Cycle 28.
In cases where the OPRM system is declared inoperable, Backup Stability Protection (BSP) is provided in accordance with Reference 22. BSP curves have been evaluated using STAIF (Reference 23) to determine endpoints that meet decay ratio criteria for the BSP Base Minimal Region I (scram region) and Base Minimal Region II (controlled entry region). Stability boundaries based on these endpoints are then determined using the generic shape generating function from Reference 22.
The STAIF acceptance criteria for the BSP endpoints are global decay ratios < 0.85, and regional and channel decay ratios < 0.80. Endpoints for the BSP regions provided in Table 4.4 have global decay ratios _<0.85, and regional and channel decay ratios < 0.80.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-1 5.0 Anticipated Operational Occurrences This section describes the analyses performed to determine the power- and flow-dependent MCPR operating limits and power- and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers for base case operation (no equipment out-of-service) for Monticello Cycle 28 representative core.
COTRANSA2 (Reference 24), XCOBRA-T (Reference 25), XCOBRA (Reference 26), and CASMO-4/MICROBURN-B2 (Reference 27) are the major codes used in the thermal limits analyses as described in the AREVA THERMEX methodology report (Reference 26) and neutronics methodology report (Reference 32). COTRANSA2 is a system transient simulation code, which includes an axial one-dimensional neutronics model that captures the effects of axial power shifts associated with the system transients. XCOBRA-T is a transient thermal-hydraulics code used in the analysis of thermal margins for the limiting fuel assembly. XCOBRA is used in steady-state analyses.
Fuel pellet-to-cladding gap conductance values are based on RODEX2 (Reference 28) calculations for the Monticello Cycle 28 representative core.
The ACE/ATRIUM 1OXM critical power correlation (References 15 through 17) is used to evaluate the thermal margin for the ATRIUM 1OXM fuel. The SPCB critical power correlation (Reference 13) is used in the thermal margin evaluations for the GE14 fuel. The application of the SPCB correlation to GE14 fuel follows the indirect process described in Reference 14.
5.1 System Transients The reactor plant parameters for the system transient analyses were validated engineering inputs as provided by the licensee. Analyses have been performed to determine power- and flow-dependent MCPR limits and power- and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers that protect operation throughout the power/flow domain depicted in Figure 1.1.
At Monticello, direct scram on turbine stop valve (TSV) position and turbine control valve (TCV) fast closure are bypassed at power levels less than 40% of rated (Pbypass). For these powers, scram will occur when the high pressure or high neutron flux scram setpoint is reached.
Reference 3 indicates that thermal limits only need to be monitored at power levels greater than or equal to 25% of rated, which is the lowest power analyzed for this report.
The limiting exposure for rated power pressurization transients is typically at end of full power (EOFP) when the control rods are fully withdrawn. Analyses were performed at several cycle AREVA NP Inc.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-2 exposures prior to EOFP to ensure that the operating limits provide the necessary protection.
The licensing basis EOFP analysis was performed at EOFP + 400 MWd/MTU (cycle exposure of 16,175 MWd/MTU). Analyses were performed to support coastdown operation to a cycle exposure of 21,175 MWd/MTU. The licensing basis exposure range used to develop the neutronics inputs to the transient analyses are presented in Table 5.1.
Pressurization transient analyses only credit the safety setpoints of the safety/relief valves (SRV). The base operating limits support operations with 3 SRVs out-of-service.
Variations in feedwater temperature of +5/-1 0°F, from the nominal feedwater temperature and variation of +/-10 psi in dome pressure are considered base case operation, not an EOOS condition. Analyses were performed to determine the limiting conditions in the allowable ranges.
System pressurization transient results are sensitive to scram speed assumptions. To take advantage of average scram speeds faster than those associated with the Technical Specifications requirements, scram speed-dependent MCPRP limits are provided. The nominal scram speed (NSS) insertion times, the Technical Specifications scram speed (TSSS) insertion times, and degraded scram speed (DSS) insertion times used in the analyses are presented in Table 5.2. The NSS MCPRP limits can only be applied if the scram speed test results meet the NSS insertion times. System transient analyses were performed to establish MCPRp limits for both NSS and TSSS insertion times. Technical Specifications (Reference 3) allow for operation with up to 8 "slow" and 1 stuck control rod. One additional control rod is assumed to fail to scram. Conservative adjustments to the NSS and TSSS scram speeds were made to the analysis inputs to appropriately account for these effects on scram reactivity. For cases below 40% power, the results are relatively insensitive to scram speed, and only TSSS analyses are performed. At 40% power (Pbypass), analyses were performed, both with and without bypass of the direct scram function, resulting in an operating limits step change.
5.1.1 Load Rejection No Bypass (LRNB)
Load rejection causes a fast closure of the turbine control valves. The resulting compression wave travels through the steam lines into the vessel and creates a rapid pressurization. The increase in pressure causes a decrease in core voids, which in turn causes a rapid increase in power. Fast closure of the turbine control valves also causes a reactor scram. Turbine bypass system operation, which also mitigates the consequences of the event, is not credited. The AREVA NP Inc.

LRNB analyses were performed for a range of power/flow conditions to support generation of the thermal limits. Base case limiting LRNB transient analysis results used to generate the licensing basis EOFP operating limits, for both TSSS and NSS insertion times, are shown in Table 5.3. Responses of various reactor and plant parameters during the LRNB event initiated at 100% of rated power and 105% of rated core flow with TSSS insertion times are shown in Figure 5.1 and Figure 5.2.
5.1.2 Turbine Trip No Bypass (TTNB)
A turbine trip event can be initiated as a result of several different signals. The initiating signal causes the TSV to close in order to prevent damage to the turbine. The TSV closure creates a compression wave traveling through the steam lines into the vessel causing a rapid pressurization. The increase in pressure results in a decrease in core voids, which in turn causes a rapid increase in power. Closure of the TSV also causes a reactor scram which helps mitigate the pressurization effects. Turbine bypass system operation, which also mitigates the consequences of the event, is not credited. The excursion of the core power due to the void collapse is terminated primarily by the reactor scram and revoiding of the core. Base case limiting TTNB transient analysis results used to generate the licensing basis EOFP operating limits, for both TSSS and NSS insertion times, are shown in Table 5.4. Responses of various reactor and plant parameters during the TTNB event initiated at 100% of rated power and 105%
of rated core flow with TSSS insertion times are shown in Figure 5.3 and Figure 5.4.
5.1.3 Pneumatic System Deqradation - Turbine Trip With Bypass and Degraded Scram (TTWB)
This event is similar to a turbine trip event described previously. The difference is the event is analyzed with a degraded scram speed (DSS) and the turbine bypass is allowed to open to mitigate the severity of the event. The MCPRp limits for NSS and TSSS insertion times will protect this event analyzed with DSS insertion times.
TTWB analyses were performed for a range of power/flow conditions to support generation of the thermal limits. Table 5.5 presents the base case limiting TTWB transient analysis ACPR results used to generate the licensing basis EOFP operating limits for both TSSS and NSS insertion times.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-4 5.1.4 Feedwater Controller Failure (FWCF)
The increase in feedwater flow due to a failure of the feedwater control system to maximum demand results in an increase in the water level and a decrease in the coolant temperature at the core inlet. The increase in core inlet subcooling causes an increase in core power. As the feedwater flow continues at maximum demand, the water level continues to rise and eventually reaches the high water level trip setpoint. The initial water level is conservatively assumed to be at the low level normal operating range to delay the high-level trip and maximize the core inlet subcooling resulting from the FWCF. The high water level trip causes the turbine stop valves to close in order to prevent damage to the turbine from excessive liquid inventory in the steam line.
Valve closure creates a compression wave traveling back to the core, causing void collapse and subsequent rapid power excursion. The closure of the turbine stop valves also initiates a reactor scram. The turbine bypass valves are assumed operable and provide some pressure relief. The core power excursion is mitigated in part by pressure relief, but the primary mechanisms for termination of the event are reactor scram and revoiding of the core.
FWCF analyses were performed for a range of power/flow conditions to support generation of the thermal limits. Table 5.6 presents the base case limiting FWCF transient analysis ACPR results used to generate the licensing basis EOFP operating limits for both TSSS and NSS insertion times. Figure 5.5 and Figure 5.6 show the responses of various reactor and plant parameters during the FWCF event initiated at 100% of rated power and 105% of rated core flow with TSSS insertion times.
5.1.5 Inadvertent HPCI Start-Up (HPCI)
The HPCI flow is injected into the downcomer through the feedwater sparger. Injection of this subcooled water increases the subcooling at the inlet to the core and results in an increase in core power. The feedwater control system will attempt to control the water level in the reactor by reducing the feedwater flow. As long as the mass of steam leaving the reactor through the steam lines is more than the mass of HPCI water being injected, the water level will be controlled and a new steady-state condition will be established. In this case the HPCI is fairly mild as a MCPR transient (similar to a loss of feedwater heating (LFWH) event). If the steam flow is less than the HPCI flow, the water level will increase until the high level setpoint (L8) is reached. This type of event is more severe for MCPR calculations (the event is similar to a feedwater controller failure (FWCF)).
AREVA NP Inc.
uonrrooued Uocument Monticello ANP-3213(NP)
Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-5 Historically the HPCI event was analyzed forcing a high level (L8) main turbine trip even in those cases where the event would develop to a new steady state adding conservatism to the results. The same approach was used in this analysis forcing the high level turbine trip at all power levels analyzed. The HPCI flow in Monticello is only injected into one of the two feedwater lines and thus through the feedwater spargers on only one side of the reactor vessel, resulting in an asymmetric flow distribution of the injected HPCI flow. The asymmetric injection of the HPCI flow is assumed to cause an asymmetric core inlet enthalpy distribution with a larger enthalpy decrease for part of the core. This was accounted for by conservatively increasing the HPCI flow (decreasing enthalpy on both sides of the core).
HPCI analyses were performed for a range of power/flow conditions to support generation of the thermal limits. Table 5.7 presents the base case limiting HPCI transient analysis results used to generate the licensing basis EOFP operating limits for both TSSS and NSS insertion times.
Figure 5.7 and Figure 5.8 show the responses of various reactor and plant parameters during the HPCI event initiated at 100% of rated power and 105% of rated core flow with TSSS insertion times.
5.1.6 Loss of Feedwater Heating The loss of feedwater heating (LFWH) event analysis supports an assumed 95.3 0 F decrease in the feedwater temperature. The temperature is assumed to decrease linearly over 31 seconds.
The result is an increase in core inlet subcooling, which reduces voids, thereby increasing core power and shifting axial power distribution toward the bottom of the core. As a result of the axial power shift and increased core power, voids begin to build up in the bottom region of the core, acting as negative feedback to the increased subcooling effect. The negative feedback moderates the core power increase. Although there is a substantial increase in core thermal power during the event, the increase in steam flow is much less because a large part of the added power is used to overcome the increase in inlet subcooling. The increase in steam flow is accommodated by the pressure control system via the TCVs or the turbine bypass valves.
The limiting full-power ACPRs are 0.17 for ATRIUM 1OXM fuel and 0.18 for GE14 fuel.
Results from LFWH at off-rated conditions are shown in the MCPRP limit and LHGRP multiplier figures in Appendix A.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-6 5.1.7 Control Rod Withdrawal Error The control rod withdrawal error (CRWE) transient is an inadvertent reactor operator initiated withdrawal of a control rod. This withdrawal increases local power and core thermal power, lowering the core CPR. The CRWE transient is typically terminated by control rod blocks initiated by the rod block monitor (RBM). The CRWE event was analyzed assuming no xenon and allowing credible instrumentation out-of-service in the rod block monitor (RBM) system in an ARTS configuration. The analysis further assumes that the plant could be operating in either an A or B sequence control rod pattern. The rated power CRWE results are shown in Table 5.8 for the analytical RBM high power setpoint values of 110% to 114%. At the intermediate and low power setpoints results from the CRWE analysis may set the MCPRP limit. Analysis results indicate standard filtered RBM setpoint reductions are supported. Analyses demonstrate that the 1% strain and centerline melt criteria are met for ATRIUM 1OXM fuel. For GE14 fuel see setdown in Table 8.9. The LHGR limits and their associated multipliers are presented in Sections 8.2 and 8.3. Recommended operability requirements supporting unblocked CRWE operation are shown in Table 5.9, based on the SLMCPR values presented in Section 4.2.
5.1.8 Fast Flow Runup Analysis Several possibilities exist for causing an unplanned increase in core coolant flow resulting from a recirculation flow control system malfunction. Increasing recirculation flow results in an increase in core flow which causes an increase in power level and a shift in power towards the top of the core by reducing the void fraction in that region. If the flow increase is relatively rapid and of sufficient magnitude, the neutron flux could exceed the scram set point, and a scram would be initiated.
For BWRs, various failures can occur which can result in a speed increase of both recirculation pumps or failure of one of the motor generator set speed controllers can result in a speed increase in one recirculation pump.
The failure of recirculation flow control system, affecting both pumps, is provided with rate limits and therefore this failure is considered a slow event and is analyzed under the flow-dependent MCPR limits analysis (MCPRf).
The failure of one of the motor generator speed controllers generally results in the most rapid rate of recirculation flow increase and this event is referred to as fast flow runup.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-7 The fast flow runup event was initiated at various power/flow statepoints and cycle exposures.
The most limiting initial conditions are on the left boundary of the power flow map. Results from fast flow runup analysis are shown in the MCPRP limit and LHGRP multipliers figures in Appendix A.
5.2 Slow Flow Runup Analysis Flow-dependent MCPR limits and LHGR multipliers are established to support operation at off-rated core flow conditions. Limits are based on the CPR and heat flux changes experienced by the fuel during slow flow excursions. The slow flow excursion event assumes recirculation flow control system failure such that core flow increases slowly to the maximum flow physically attainable by the equipment (105% of rated core flow). An uncontrolled increase in flow creates the potential for a significant increase in core power and heat flux. A conservatively steep flow runup path was used in the analysis. Analyses were performed to support operation in all the EOOS scenarios.
MCPRf limits are determined for both ATRIUM 1OXM and GE14 fuel. XCOBRA is used to calculate the change in critical power ratio during a two-loop flow runup to the maximum flow rate. The MCPRf limit is set so an increase in core power, resulting from the maximum increase in core flow, assures the TLO safety limit MCPR is not violated. Calculations were performed over a range of initial flow rates to determine the corresponding MCPR values causing the limiting assembly to be at the safety limit MCPR for the high flow condition at the end of the flow excursion.
MCPRf limits providing the required protection are presented in Table 8.6. MCPRf limits are applicable for all exposures.
Flow runup analyses were performed with CASMO-4/MICROBURN-B2 to determine flow-dependent LHGR multipliers (LHGRFACf) for ATRIUM 1OXM fuel. The analysis assumes recirculation flow increases slowly along the limiting rod line to the maximum flow physically attainable by the equipment. A series of flow excursion analyses were performed at several exposures throughout the cycle, starting from different initial power/flow conditions. Xenon is assumed to remain constant during the event. LHGRFACf multipliers are established to provide protection against fuel centerline melt and overstraining of the cladding during a flow runup.
LHGRFACf multipliers for ATRIUM 1OXM fuel are presented in Table 8.10. A process consistent with the GNF thermal-mechanical methodology was used to determine flow-dependent LHGR multipliers (LHGRFACf) for GE14 fuel. GE14 LHGRFACf multipliers AREVA NP Inc.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-8 protecting against fuel centerline melt, and clad overstrain during operation at off-rated core flow conditions, are presented in Table 8.11.
The maximum flow during a flow excursion in single-loop operation is much less than the maximum flow during two-loop operation. Therefore, the flow-dependent MCPR limits and LHGR multipliers for two-loop operation are applicable for SLO.
5.3 Equipment Out-of-Service Scenarios The equipment out-of-service (EOOS) scenarios supported for Monticello Cycle 28 operation are shown in Table 1.1. The EOOS scenarios supported are:
- Single-loop operation (SLO) - recirculation loop out-of-service
- Pressure regulator out-of-service (PROOS)
The base case thermal limits support operation with 3 SRVs out-of-service, up to 1 TIPOOS (or the equivalent number of TIP channels), up to 50% of the LPRMs out-of-service, and a 1200 EFPH LPRM calibration interval.
5.3.1 Single-Loop Operation AQOs that are limiting during TLO (e.g., HPCI, FWCF, TTNB and become the basis for the power-dependent MCPR limits and the power-dependent LHGR multipliers, are not more severe when initiated during SLO. Therefore, the power-dependent LHGR multipliers established for TLO are applicable during SLO. The power-dependent MCPR operating limits for SLO are established by adding the limiting power-dependent ACPR for TLO to the SLMCPR for SLO (see Section 4.2).
LOCA is also more severe when initiated during SLO. Therefore, a reduced MAPLHGR limit is established for SLO (see Section 6.1).
The pump seizure accident is nonlimiting during TLO but more severe during SLO. Historically at Monticello the pump seizure accident during SLO has been evaluated against the acceptance criteria for AOO. AREVA will continue this practice. Therefore, the MCPR operating limits for SLO will be modified if necessary to assure this accident does not violate the AOO acceptance criteria (see Section 6.2).
The MCPR, LHGR, and MAPLHGR limits for TLO and SLO are provided in Section 8.0.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 5-9 5.3.2 Pressure Re-gulator Failure Downscale (PRFDS)
The pressure regulator failure downscale event occurs when the pressure regulator fails and sends a signal to close all four turbine control valves in control mode. Normally, the backup pressure regulator would take control and maintain the setpoint pressure, resulting in a mild pressure excursion and a benign event. If one of the pressure regulators were out-of-service, there would be no backup pressure regulator and the event would be more severe. The core would pressurize resulting in void collapse and a subsequent power increase. The event would be terminated by scram when either the high-neutron flux or high-pressure setpoint is reached.
The PRFDS ACPR results are presented in Table 5.10. These results are used to create the operating limits supporting the pressure regulator out-of-service (PROOS) conditions.
5.4 Licensing Power Shape The licensing axial power profile used by AREVA for the plant transient analyses bounds the projected end of full power axial power profile. The conservative licensing axial power profile generated at the licensing basis EOFP cycle exposure of 16,175 MWd/MTU (core average exposure of 33,231.5 MWd/MTU) is given in Table 5.11. Cycle 28 operation is considered to be in compliance when:
The integrated normalized power generated in the bottom 7 nodes from the projected EOFP solution at the state conditions provided in Table 5.11 is greater than the integrated normalized power generated in the bottom 7 nodes in the licensing basis axial power profile in Table 5.11, and the individual normalized power from the projected EOFP solution is greater than the corresponding individual normalized power from the licensing basis axial power profile in Table 5.11 for at least 6 of the 7 bottom nodes.
The projected EOFP condition occurs at a core average exposure less than or equal to licensing basis EOFP.
If the criteria cannot be fully met the licensing basis may nevertheless remain valid but further assessment will be required. The power profile comparison should be done without incorporating instrument updates to the axial profile because the updated power is not used in the core monitoring system to accumulate assembly and nodal burnups.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 6-1 6.0 Postulated Accidents 6.1 Loss-of-Coolant-Accident (LOCA)
As discussed in Section 2.0 of the LOCA break spectrum report (Reference 29), the LOCA models, evaluation, and results are for a full core of ATRIUM 1OXM fuel. The basis for applicability of PCT results from full cores of ATRIUM 1 OXM fuel (based on AREVA methods) and GE14 fuel (based on GNF methods) for a mixed (transition) core is provided in Reference 6, Appendix C. Thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the GE14 and ATRIUM 1OXM fuel designs are similar as presented in Reference 11. Therefore, the core response during a LOCA will not be significantly different for a full core of GE14 fuel or a mixed core of GE14 and ATRIUM 1OXM fuel. In addition, since about 95% of the reactor system volume is outside the core region, slight changes in core volume and fluid energy due to fuel design differences will produce an insignificant change in total system volume and energy. Therefore, the current GE14 LOCA analysis and resulting licensing PCT and MAPLHGR limits remain applicable for GE14 fuel in transition cores.
The results of the ATRIUM 10XM LOCA break spectrum analysis are presented in Reference 29. The MAPLHGR limits for ATRIUM 1OXM fuel are presented in Reference 30.
The ATRIUM 1OXM PCT is 2088°F. The peak local metal-water reaction and planar average metal-water reaction were calculated to be 3.50% and 0.73%, respectively. The acceptance criteria of less than 17% local cladding oxidation thickness and less than 1% core wide metal-water reaction are met.
Analyses and results support the EOD and EOOS conditions listed in Table 1.1. As discussed in Section 7.0 of the LOCA break spectrum report (Reference 29), a MAPLHGR multiplier of 0.70 is established for SLO since LOCA is more severe when initiated during SLO.
6.2 Pump Seizure Accident This accident is assumed to occur as a consequence of an unspecified, instantaneous stoppage of one recirculation pump shaft while the reactor is operating at full power (in two-loop operation). The pump seizure event is a very mild accident in relation to other accidents such as the LOCA. This is easily verified by consideration of the two events. In both accidents, the recirculation driving loop flow is lost extremely rapidly - in the case of the seizure, stoppage of the pump occurs; for the LOCA, the severance of the line has a similar, but more rapid and severe influence. Following a pump seizure event, flow continues, water level is maintained, the core remains submerged, and this provides a continuous core cooling mechanism.
AREVA NP Inc.
rJocul en Monticello ANP-3213(NP)
Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 6-2 However, for the LOCA, complete flow stoppage occurs and the water level decreases due to loss of coolant resulting in uncovery of the reactor core and subsequent overheating of the fuel rod cladding. In addition, for the pump seizure accident, reactor pressure does not significantly decrease, whereas complete depressurization occurs for the LOCA. Clearly, the increased temperature of the cladding and reduced reactor pressure for the LOCA both combine to yield a much more severe stress and potential for cladding perforation for the LOCA than for the pump seizure. Therefore, it can be concluded that the potential effects of the hypothetical pump seizure accident are very conservatively bounded by the effects of a LOCA and specific analyses of the pump seizure accident are not required.
Consistent with recent licensing analyses for Monticello, seizure of the recirculation pump in the active loop during SLO was analyzed and evaluated relative to the acceptance criteria for AOO.
Since single loop pump seizure (SLPS) event is more severe as power and flow increase, the event is analyzed at the maximum core power and core flow during SLO (66% core power and 52.5% core flow). Thermal limits were determined to protect against this event in single-loop operation (see Sections 5.3.1 and 8.0).
6.3 Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA)
Plant startup utilizes a banked position withdrawal sequence (BPWS) including rod worth minimization strategies. CRDA evaluation was performed for both A and B sequence startups consistent with that allowed by BPWS. Approved AREVA parametric CRDA methodology is described in Reference 32, which has been shown to continue to apply to ATRIUM 1OXM and GEl4 fuel modeled with the CASMO-4/MICROBURN-B2 code system.
Analysis results demonstrate the maximum deposited fuel rod enthalpy is less than the NRC license limit of 280 cal/g and is also less than 230 cal/g; the estimated number of fuel rods that exceed the fuel damage threshold of 170 cal/g is less than the number of failed rods assumed in the USAR (850 8x8 equivalent rods).

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 6-3 6.4 Fuel and Equipment Handling Accident As discussed in Reference 40, the fuel handling accident radiological analysis of record for the alternate source term (AST) was dispositioned with consideration of ATRIUM 10XM core source terms and number of failed fuel rods. No other aspect of utilizing the ATRIUM 1OXM fuel affects the current analysis; therefore, the AST analysis remains applicable for fuel transition Cycle 28.
6.5 Fuel Loading Error(Infrequent Event)
There are two types of fuel loading errors possible in a BWR: the mislocation of a fuel assembly in a core position prescribed to be loaded with another fuel assembly, and the misorientation of a fuel assembly with respect to the control blade. The fuel loading error is characterized as an infrequent event in the Reference 33 AREVA topical report and in the Monticello USAR (Reference 2). The acceptance criteria for plants with AST is that the offsite dose consequences due to the event shall not exceed a small fraction of the 10 CFR 50.67 limits.
6.5.1 Mislocated Fuel Bundle AREVA has performed a fuel mislocation error analysis that considered the impact of a mislocated assembly against potential fuel rod failure mechanisms due to increased LHGR and reduced CPR. The results show that no rod approaches the fuel centerline melt or 1% strain limits, and the SLMCPR is not violated (mislocation analysis ACPR result of 0.20 is well below those reported for AQOs in Section 5.0), i.e. less than 0.1% of the fuel rods are expected to experience boiling transition. Therefore, no rods would be expected to fail and the offsite dose criteria (a small fraction of 10 CFR 50.67) is conservatively satisfied. A dose consequence evaluation is not necessary since no rods are predicted to fail.
6.5.2 Misoriented Fuel Bundle AREVA has performed a fuel assembly misorientation analysis assuming that the limiting assembly was loaded in the worst orientation (rotated 1800), while simultaneously producing sufficient power to be on the MCPR operating limit as if it were oriented correctly. The results show that no rod approaches the fuel centerline melt or 1% strain limits, and the SLMCPR is not violated (misorientation analysis ACPR result of 0.27 is well below those reported for AQOs in Section 5.0), i.e. less than 0.1% of the fuel rods are expected to experience boiling transition.
Therefore, no rods would be expected to fail and the offsite dose criteria (a small fraction of 10 CFR 50.67) is conservatively satisfied. A dose consequence evaluation is not necessary since no rods are predicted to fail.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 7-1 7.0 Special Analyses 7.1 ASME OverpressurizationAnalysis This analysis is performed to demonstrate the safety/relief valves have sufficient capacity and performance to satisfy the requirements established by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. For Monticello the maximum allowable reactor dome pressure is 1332 psig (1347 psia) and the maximum allowable vessel pressure is 1375 psig (1390 psia) (Reference 4).
MSIV closure, TSV closure, and TCV closure were performed with the AREVA plant simulator code COTRANSA2 (Reference 24). The maximum pressure resulting from the closure of valves in the steam lines tends to increase as the closure time of the valves decreases. The TCV and TSV close much faster than the MSIV. This suggests that the faster closure of the TCVs or TSVs would result in higher pressures than closure of the MSIVs. However, the slower closure of the MSIVs are offset by the fact that the rate of steam flow reduction is concentrated toward the end of the valve stroke and the resulting reactor pressurization must be absorbed in a smaller volume (because the MSIVs are closer to the reactor vessel than the TCVs or TSVs).
The analysis of the three valve closures showed that the MSIV valve closure is the most limiting event. The events were analyzed at 102% power and both 99% and 105% flow at the highest cycle exposure. The MSIV closure event is similar to the other steam line valve closure events in that the valve closure results in a rapid pressurization of the core. The increase in pressure causes a decrease in void which in turn causes a rapid increase in power. The following assumptions were made in the analysis:
The most critical active component (direct scram on valve position) was assumed to fail.
However, scram on high neutron flux and high dome pressure is available.
Opening of the turbine bypass valves was not credited (this would mitigate the peak pressure resulting from closure of the TSV and the TCV).
- Opening of the SRV at the relief setpoints was not credited (open at safety setpoint).
- Analysis considered 3 SRVOOS.
- TSSS insertion times were used.
0 The initial dome pressure was set at the maximum allowed 1040.0 psia (1025.3 psig).
0 A fast MSIV closure time of 2.2 seconds was used.
0 ATWS-RPT was not credited in this event since this event ends up in a scram (Reference 4).

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 7-2 Results of the MSIV closure overpressurization event are presented in Table 7.1. Various reactor plant parameters during the limiting MSIV closure event are presented in Figure 7.1 through Figure 7.3. The maximum pressure of 1360 psig occurs in the lower vessel.
The maximum steam dome pressure for the same event is 1326 psig. Results demonstrate that the lower vessel pressure limit of 1375 psig and the steam dome pressure limit of 1332 psig are protected.
Pressure results include various adders totaling 9 psi to account for void-quality correlations, Doppler void effects, and thermal conductivity degradation (Reference 6).
7.2 Anticipated Transient Without Scram Event Evaluation 7.2.1 Overpressurization Analysis This analysis is performed to demonstrate that the peak vessel pressure for the limiting anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) event is less than the ASME Service Level C limit of 120% of the design pressure (1500 psig). Overpressurization analyses were performed at 102% power at both 99% and 105% flow over the cycle exposure range for both the MSIV closure event and the pressure regulator failure open (PRFO) events. The PRFO event assumes a step decrease in pressure demand such that the pressure control system opens the turbine control and turbine bypass valves. Steam flow demand is assumed to increase to 114.5% of rated steam flow (103% of rated steam flow through the turbine control valves fully open and 11.5% of rated steam flow through the turbine bypass valves). The system pressure decreases until the low steam line pressure setpoint is reached resulting in the closure of the MSIVs. The subsequent pressurization wave collapses core voids, thereby increasing core power.
The following assumptions were made in the analyses.
0 High-pressure recirculation pump trip (ATWS-RPT) was allowed.
- 1 SRVOOS and the remaining 7 valves open at safety mode setpoints.
0 All scram functions were disabled.
- Nominal values were used for initial dome pressure and feedwater temperature
- A nominal MSIV closure time of 4.0 seconds was used for both events.
Analyses results are presented in Table 7.2. The response of various reactor plant parameters during the limiting ATWS-PRFO event are shown in Figure 7.4 through Figure 7.6. The maximum lower vessel pressure is 1445 psig and the maximum steam dome pressure is AREVA NP Inc.

Pressure results include various adders totaling 20 psi to account for void-quality correlations, Doppler void effects and thermal conductivity degradation (Reference 6).
7.2.2 Long-Term Evaluation Fuel design differences may impact the power and pressure excursion experienced during the ATWS event. This in turn may impact the amount of steam discharged to the suppression pool and containment.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 7-4 7.3 Reactor Core Safety Limits - Low PressureSafety Limit, PressureRegulator FailedOpen Event (PRFO)
Technical Specification for Monticello, Section 2.1.1.1, Reactor Core Safety Limits (SL), requires that thermal power shall be < 25% rated when the reactor steam dome pressure is < 785 psig (800 psia) or core flow is < 10% of rated. In Reference 35, General Electric identified that for plants with the main steam isolation valve (MSIV) low-pressure isolation setpoint < 785 psig, there is a depressurization transient that will cause this safety limit to be violated. In addition, plants with an MSIV low-pressure isolation setpoint _Ž785 psig may also experience an AOO that violates this safety limit (Monticello MSIV low-pressure setpoint is 809 psig).
The AOO of concern is a depressurization transient, i.e., Pressure Regulator Failure -
Maximum Demand (Open) (PRFO). This event can cause the dome pressure to drop below 785 psig (800 psia) while reactor thermal power is above 25% of rated power.
The PRFO event is initiated through a failure of the pressure controller system open (instantaneous drop of the pressure demand). This will force the turbine control valves (TCV) and turbine bypass valve (TBV) to fully open up to the maximum combined steam flow limit.
Opening the turbine valves will create a pressure decrease in the reactor system. At some point the low-pressure setpoint for main steam isolation valve (MSIV) closure will be reached and the MSIV will start to close. The initiation of the MSIV closure will trigger the reactor scram on MSIV position which will reduce further the reactor power. The longest MSIV closure time is conservative for this event. A closure time of 9.9 seconds was assumed. The system depressurization also creates a water level swell. If the water level swell reaches the high level setpoint (L8) the turbine stop valves (TSV) will close.
This event was analyzed to determine the lowest steam dome pressure occurring such that a future Technical Specification change can be established for the low-pressure value. Since the core power and heat flux drop throughout this event, followed by a direct scram, this event poses no threat to thermal limits.
The results of the analyses at various power/flow statepoints and cycle exposures showed that the lowest steam dome pressure that was reached before thermal power was < 25% thermal power was 665 psia (650 psig).

7.4 Appendix R - Fire ProtectionAnalysis The Appendix R fire protection case matrix for Monticello safe shutdown is identified in Reference 36. The most limiting cases were analyzed using the NRC approved AREVA EXEM BWR-2000 Evaluation Model with a modified Monticello LOCA model. The analyses were performed for a full core of ATRIUM 1 OXM fuel. The first two fire events were evaluated with and without a stuck open relief valve, two safety relief valves were used for depressurization when the reactor water level reached the top of the active fuel in the downcomer, and one operational core spray train. The final two events were evaluated with the two depressurization safety relief valves activated at 17 minutes into the fire event instead of the water level being at the top of the active fuel.
The conclusion of this analysis was that in each event the ATRIUM 1OXM fuel in the core remains covered during the entire event with no increase in cladding temperature. Results are therefore independent of fuel type. Containment suppression pool temperatures are not fuel related and therefore were not considered.
7.5 Standby Liquid Control System In the event that the control rod scram function becomes incapable of rendering the core in a shutdown state, the standby liquid control (SLC) system is required to be capable of bringing the reactor from full power to a cold shutdown condition at any time in the core life. The Monticello SLC system is required to be able to inject 660 ppm natural boron equivalent at 70°F into the reactor coolant. AREVA has performed an analysis demonstrating the SLC system meets the required shutdown capability for the cycle. The analysis was performed at a coolant temperature of 319.2 0 F, with a boron concentration equivalent to 660 ppm at 68 0 F.* The temperature of 319.2 0 F corresponds to the low-pressure permissive for the RHR shutdown cooling suction valves, and represents the maximum reactivity condition with soluble boron in the coolant. The analysis shows the core to be subcritical throughout the cycle by at least 1.34% Ak/k based on the Cycle 27 EOC short window (which is the most limiting exposure
- Monticello licensing basis documents indicate a minimum of 660 ppm boron at a temperature of 70'F.
The AREVA cold analysis basis of 68°F represents a negligible difference and the results are adequate to protect the 70'F licensing basis for the plant.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 8-1 8.0 Operating Limits and COLR Input 8.1 MCPR Limits The determination of MCPR limits is based on analyses of the limiting AQOs. The MCPR operating limits are established so that less than 0.1% of the fuel rods in the core are expected to experience boiling transition during an AOO initiated from rated or off-rated conditions and are based on a two-loop operation SLMCPR of 1.12 and a single-loop operation SLMCPR of 1.13. Exposure-dependent MCPR limits were established to support operation from BOC to the licensing basis EOFP and during Coastdown. MCPR limits are established to support base case operation and the EOOS scenarios presented in Table 1.1.
Two-loop operation MCPRp limits for ATRIUM 1OXM and GE14 fuel are presented in Table 8.1 through Table 8.4 for base case operation and the EOOS conditions. Limits are presented for nominal scram speed (NSS) and Technical Specification scram speed (TSSS) insertion times for the exposure ranges considered. Both of these sets (NSS and TSSS) protect the TTWB with degraded scram speed (DSS) event. MCPRP limits for single-loop operation are provided in Table 8.5.
MCPRf limits protect against fuel failures during a postulated slow flow excursion.
ATRIUM 1OXM and GE14 fuel limits are presented in Table 8.6 and are applicable for all cycle exposures and EOOS conditions identified in Table 1.1.
The results from the control rod withdrawal error (CRWE) analysis are not used in establishing the MCPRP limits. Depending on the choice of RBM setpoints the CRWE analysis operating MCPR limit may be more limiting than the MCPRp limits. Therefore, Xcel Energy may need to adjust these limits to account for CRWE results.
8.2 LHGR Limits The LHGR limits for ATRIUM 1OXM fuel are presented in Table 8.7. The LHGR limits for GE14 fuel are presented in Reference 39. Power- and flow-dependent multipliers (LHGRFACp and LHGRFACf) are applied directly to the LHGR limits to protect against fuel melting and overstraining of the cladding during an AOO.
The LHGRFACp and LHGRFACf multipliers for ATRIUM 1OXM fuel are determined using the RODEX4 methodology (Reference 9). The LHGRFACP and LHGRFACf multipliers for GE14 fuel are developed in a manner consistent with the GNF thermal-mechanical methodology.

Fuel Transition Cycle 28 Revision 1 Reload Licensing Analysis (EPU/MELLLA) Page 8-2 LHGRFACP multipliers were established to support operation at all cycle exposures for both NSS and TSSS insertion times and for the EOOS conditions identified in Table 1.1. LHGRFACp limits are presented in Table 8.8 and Table 8.9 for ATRIUM 1OXM and GE14 fuel, respectively.
LHGRFACf multipliers are established to provide protection against fuel centerline melt and overstraining of the cladding during a postulated slow flow excursion. LHGRFACf limits are presented in Table 8.10 and Table 8.11 for ATRIUM 1OXM and GE14 fuel, respectively.
LHGRFACf multipliers are applicable for all cycle exposures and EOOS conditions identified in Table 1.1.
8.3 MAPLHGR Limits ATRIUM 1OXM MAPLHGR limits are discussed in Reference 30. The TLO operation limits are presented in Table 8.12. For operation in SLO, a multiplier of 0.7 must be applied to the TLO MAPLHGR limits. Power- and flow-dependent MAPLHGR multipliers are not required.
