Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/3361423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 1 of 25 REPORT OF CHANGES IN WESTINGHOUSE AND AREVA ECCS EVALUATION MODELS Kewaunee Power Station
- 1. Westinghouse identified no changes and errors applicable to the Westinghouse Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident Evaluation Model (SBLOCA EM) with NOTRUMP. Information was provided that covered the time from January 1, 2013 to Kewaunee's final shutdown on May 7, 2013.
- 2. Westinghouse identified the following changes and errors applicable to the KPS 1999 Westinghouse Best Estimate Large Break LOCA Evaluation Model (BE LBLOCA EM) with application to PWRs with upper plenum injection. Information was provided that covered the time from January 1, 2013 to Kewaunee's final shutdown on May 7, 2013.
- General Code Maintenance. Various changes have been made to enhance the usability of the codes and to help preclude errors in analyses. This includes items such as modifying input variable definitions, units, and defaults; improving the input diagnostic checks; enhancing the code output; optimizing active coding; and eliminating inactive coding. The nature of these changes leads to an estimated peak clad temperature (PCT) impact of 0°F.
Millstone Power Station Unit 2
- 1. AREVA identified no changes and errors applicable to the S-RELAP5 based Small Break LOCA Evaluation Model for Millstone Unit 2.
- 2. AREVA identified no changes and errors applicable to the SEM/PWR-98 evaluation model for LBLOCA for Millstone Unit 2.
Millstone Power Station Unit 3
- 1. Westinghouse identified the following change and error to the 1985 Westinghouse SBLOCA EM with NOTRUMP.
SBLOCTA Cladding Strain Requirement for Fuel Rod Burst. An error was discovered in the minimum local strain required for burst for ZIRLO cladding in the SBLOCTA code. The coding does not enforce reaching the minimum percent local strain threshold prior to calculating fuel rod burst. However, a review of licensing basis analyses revealed no instances of this error impacting calculated results. Resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change to the Evaluation Model as described in Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
After review of current licensing basis analyses, and the phenomena and physics of a small break LOCA transient, it is concluded that this error has a negligible
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 2 of 25 effect on small break LOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated Peak Cladding Temperature (PCT) impact of 00 F.
- 2. Westinghouse identified the following changes and errors applicable to the 2004 Westinghouse BE LBLOCA EM using the Automated Statistical Treatment of Uncertainty Method (ASTRUM) for Millstone Unit 3 during 2013:
" General Code Maintenance. Various changes have been made to enhance the usability of codes and to streamline future analyses. Examples of these changes include modifying input variable definitions, units and defaults; improving the input diagnostic checks; enhancing the code output; optimizing active coding; and eliminating inactive coding. The nature of these changes leads to an estimated PCT impact of 00 F.
" Initial Fuel Pellet Average Temperature Uncertainty Calculation. In the ASTRUM BE LBLOCA EM, uncertainties are applied to the gap heat transfer coefficient and pellet thermal conductivity to capture the uncertainty in the initial fuel pellet average temperature. This approach was compared to the initial fuel pellet average temperature uncertainties predicted by the PAD code at beginning-of-life conditions and found to be conservative in Section 25-4-2-4 of WCAP-12945-P-A. However, the initial fuel pellet average temperature uncertainty range analyzed at higher burnups in the ASTRUM EM is much wider than the uncertainty range predicted by the PAD code, which may result in excessively low or high analyzed initial fuel pellet average temperatures. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing ASTRUM LBLOCA analysis results. The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
The issue described above is judged to have either no effect or a negligible effect on existing Millstone Unit 3 LBLOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 00 F.
" Elevations for Heat Slab Temperature Initialization. An error was discovered in WCOBRA/TRAC whereby an incorrect value would be used in the initial fuel rod temperature calculation for a fuel rod heat transfer node if that node elevation was specified outside of the bounds of the temperature initialization table. This problem has been evaluated for impact on existing analyses and its resolution represents a Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-13451.
Based on inspection of plant analysis input, it was concluded that the input decks for the existing Millstone Unit 3 analysis are not impacted by this error, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
" Heat Transfer Model Error Corrections. Several related changes were made to WCOBRA/TRAC to correct errors discovered which affected the heat transfer
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 3 of 25 models. These errors included calculation of the entrained liquid fraction used in calculation of the drop wall heat flux, application of the grid enhancement factor for grid temperature calculation, calculation of the Reynold's number used in the Wong-Hochrieter correlation for the heat transfer coefficient from fuel rods to vapor, fuel rod initialization and calculation of cladding inner radius with creep, application of grid and two phase enhancement factors and radiation component in single phase vapor heat transfer, and reset of the critical heat flux temperature when J=2. These errors have been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing LBLOCA analysis results. Correction of these errors represents a closely-related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
Based on the results of representative plant calculations, separate effects and integral effects test simulations, it is concluded that the error corrections have a negligible local effect on heat transfer, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
- Correction to Heat Transfer Node Initialization. An error was discovered in the heat transfer node initialization logic in WCOBRAITRAC whereby the heat transfer node center locations could be inconsistent with the geometric node center elevations. The primary effects of this issue are on the interpolated fluid properties and grid turbulent mixing enhancement at the heat transfer node.
This problem has been evaluated for impact on existing analyses and its resolution represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP- 13451.
Based on engineering judgment and the results from a matrix of representative plant calculations, it is concluded that the effect of this error is within the code resolution, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
- Mass Conservation Error Fix. It was identified that mass was not conserved in WCOBRA/TRAC one-dimensional component cells when void fraction values were calculated to be slightly out of the physical range (greater than 1.0 or smaller than 0.0). This was observed to result in artificial mass generation on the secondary side of steam generator components. Correction of this problem represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
This error was observed to primarily affect the mass on the secondary side of the steam generator. This issue was judged to have a negligible impact on the Millstone Unit 3 LBLOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
- Correction to Split Channel Momentum Equation. An error was discovered in the momentum equation calculations for split channels in WCOBRAITRAC. This
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/2801281 Attachment 1, Page 4 of 25 error impacts the (1) continuity area of the phantom/boundary bottom cell; (2) bottom and top continuity area correction factors for the channel inlet at the bottom of a section and for the channel outlet at the top of a section; and (3) drop entrainment mass rate per unit volume and drop de-entrainment mass rate per unit volume contributions to the momentum calculations for split channels. This problem has been evaluated for impact on existing analyses and its resolution represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
Based on the results from a matrix of representative plant calculations, it is concluded that the effect of this error on the quantities directly impacted by the momentum equation calculations for split channels (velocities, flows, etc.) is negligible, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
Heat Transfer Logic Correction for Rod Burst Calculation. A change was made to the WCOBRA/TRAC coding to correct an error which had disabled rod burst in separate effect test simulations. This change represents a Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-13451.
Based on the nature of the change and the evaluation model requirements for plant modeling in Westinghouse best estimate large break LOCA analyses with WCOBRA/TRAC, it is judged that the existing Millstone Unit 3 analyses are not impacted by this change, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
Changes to Vessel Superheated Steam Properties. Several related changes were made to the WCOBRA/TRAC coding for the vessel super-heated water properties, including updating the HGAS subroutine coding to be consistent with Equation 10-6 of the Code Qualification Document (CQD) topical WCAP-12945-P-A, updating the approximation of the enthalpy in the TGAS subroutine to be consistent with the HGAS subroutine coding, and updating the temperature iteration method and convergence criteria in the TGAS subroutine.
These changes represent a closely-related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The updates to the calculations of the superheated steam properties had generally less than 1OF impact on the resulting steam temperature values, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 5 of 25 Update to Metal Density Reference Temperatures. It was identified that for one-dimensional components in which heat transfer to stainless steel 304 or 316 is modeled, the reference temperature for the metal density calculation was allowed to vary; as a result the total metal mass was not preserved. Correction of this problem represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
This change primarily impacts the reactor coolant system loop piping modeled in the LBLOCA WCOBRA/TRAC models. It was judged that the effect of this change on the PCT results was negligible, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
- Decay Heat Model Error Corrections. The decay heat model in the WCOBRA/TRAC code was updated to correct the erroneously coded value of the yield fraction directly from fission for Group 19 of Pu-239 and to include the term for uncertainty in the prompt energy per fission in the calculation of the decay heat power uncertainty. Correction of these errors represents a closely-related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
These changes have a negligible impact on the calculated decay heat power, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
" Correction to the Pipe Exit Pressure Drop Error. An error was discovered in WCOBRA/TRAC whereby the frictional pressure drop at the split break TEE connection to the BREAK component was incorrectly calculated using the TEE hydraulic diameter instead of the BREAK component length input. This error has been evaluated for impact on existing analyses and its resolution represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
Based on the results from a matrix of representative plant calculations, it is concluded that the effect of this error on the pressure at the break and the break flow is negligible, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
" WCOBRAITRAC u19 File Dimension Error Correction. A problem was identified in the dimension of an array used to generate the u19 file in WCOBRA/TRAC. The u19 file is read during HSDRIVER execution and provides information needed to generate the HOTSPOT thermal-hydraulic history and user input files. The array used to write the desired information to the u19 file is dimensioned to 2000 in WCOBRA/TRAC. It is possible, however, for more than 2000 curves to be written to the u19 file. If that is the case, it is possible that the curves would not be stored correctly on the u19 file. A survey of current Best Estimate Large Break LOCA analyses indicated that the majority of plants had less than 2000 curves in their u19 files; therefore these plants are not affected by the change. For those plants with more than 2000 curves,
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/3361423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 6 of 25 plant-specific sensitivity calculations indicated that resolution of this issue does not impact the PCT calculation for prior analyses. This represents a Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-1 3451.
As discussed above, resolution of this issue does not impact the PCT calculation for prior LBLOCA analyses, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Millstone Unit 3.
Revised Heat Transfer Multiplier Distributions. Some of the changes and error corrections described above affect the WCOBRA/TRAC heat transfer models, the heat transfer node initialization, or the heat transfer renoding logic.
This lead to an investigation of the heat transfer multiplier distributions using the results for the Separate Effects Tests (SETs) and Integral Effects Tests (lETs).
During this investigation, errors were discovered in the development of the original multiplier distributions, including errors in the grid locations specified in the WCOBRA/TRAC models for the G2 Refill and G2 Reflood tests, and errors in processing test data used to develop the reflood heat transfer multiplier distribution.
The blowdown, heatup, blowdown cooling, refill, and reflood heat transfer multiplier distributions were redeveloped. The revised heat transfer multiplier distributions have been evaluated for impact on existing analyses. Resolution of these issues represents a closely related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
A plant transient calculation representative of Millstone Unit 3 transient behavior was performed with the latest version of WCOBRA/TRAC. Using this transient, a matrix of HOTSPOT calculations was performed to estimate the effect of the heat transfer multiplier distribution changes. The limiting runs for the Millstone Unit 3 analysis were identified, including consideration of the thermal conductivity degradation (TCD) effects and other evaluations on the analysis of record (AOR) which substantially impacted the ranking or PCTs of the limiting cases. The set of limiting runs for Millstone Unit 3 were selected such that less limiting runs which were not explicitly considered would not become limiting due to the estimated PCT impact from the change in heat transfer multipliers. The heat transfer multipliers for each run were used to identify which bin that multiplier falls into, and an estimated PCT impact for that individual multiplier was assigned. The individual estimated PCT impacts for the run (based on the four multipliers) were summed to estimate the overall impact on the run. Finally, the run results were re-ranked based on the estimated impacts on each run. The change between the estimated 95/95 PCT before and after this process was reported as the estimate of effect for the Millstone Unit 3 analysis.
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/3361423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 7 of 25 Using these results and considering the heat transfer multiplier uncertainty attributes from limiting cases for Millstone Unit 3, an estimated PCT effect of
-91°F has been established for 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes.
For Millstone Unit 3, the above issues resulted in the accumulation of changes to the calculated peak fuel cladding temperature to exceed 50°F, and was previously reported to the NRC in a letter dated September 9, 2013 (Serial No.13-501) to meet the 30-day reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii).
Subsequent to the 30 day report, in the summary of changes provided by Westinghouse in the compendium for 2013, there were four additional changes.
" HOTSPOT Burst Strain Error Correction. An error in the application of the burst strain was discovered in HOTSPOT. The equation for the application of the burst strain is given as Equation 7-69 in WCAP-16009-P-A and in WCAP-1 2945-P-A. The outer radius of the cladding after burst occurs should be calculated based on the burst strain, and the inner radius of the cladding should be calculated based on the outer radius. In HOTSPOT, the burst strain is applied to the calculation of the cladding inner radius. The cladding outer radius is then calculated based on the inner radius. As such, the burst strain is incorrectly applied to the inner radius rather than the outer radius, which impacts the resulting cladding geometry at the burst elevation after burst occurs.
Correction of the erroneous calculation results in thinner cladding at the burst node and more fuel relocating into the burst node, leading to an increase in the PCT at the burst node. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing BE LBLOCA analysis results. The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
The issue described above was evaluated by executing the most limiting plant-specific HOTSPOT runs with a HOTSPOT version that includes the correction of this error. This plant-specific sensitivity study resulted in an estimated PCT impact of 21'F for Millstone Unit 3.
" Changes to Grid Blockage Ratio and Porosity. A change in the methodology used to calculate grid blockage ratio and porosity for Westinghouse fuel resulted in a change to the grid inputs used in the Millstone Unit 3 LBLOCA analysis.
Grid inputs affect heat transfer in the core during a LBLOCA. This change represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The updates to the methodology to calculate grid blockage ratio and porosity used as input in Westinghouse LBLOCA models resulted in a negligible change to heat transfer in the core for the fuel type used in Millstone Unit 3. The
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/4231338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 8 of 25 estimated penalty associated with the changes is 0°F for 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes.
- Grid Heat Transfer Enhancement Calculation. An issue was identified which could affect the calculation of the heat transfer at gridded elevations for BE LBLOCA EM. For a specific input condition, the grid heat transfer enhancement factor is calculated based on an erroneous core geometry, which can cause an over-prediction of the heat transfer coefficient at gridded elevations. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing LBLOCA analysis results.
The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The effect described above was judged to have a negligible effect on existing LBLOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
" Burst Elevation Selection. It is stated on page 11-20 of WCAP-16009-P-A that the burst option is applied at the elevation corresponding to the (WCOBRA/TRAC) burst elevation for the hot assembly rod. This approach was modified to apply the burst option at the HOTSPOT predicted burst elevation as described on page 19 of Attachment 1 to LTR-NRC-06-8. The HOTSPOT code has been updated to incorporate the following changes to the burst elevation selection logic if multiple nodes burst at the same time: (1) the node that has the highest cladding temperature at the time of burst is selected; (2) if multiple nodes have the same burst time and cladding temperature at the time of burst, the lowest ordered elevation of those nodes is selected. These changes represent a closely-related group of Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-13451.
This improvement in burst elevation selection is a forward-fit change, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2
- 1. AREVA identified no changes or errors in the SBLOCA evaluation models for North Anna Units 1 and 2:
- 2. AREVA identified the following change and error applicable to the Realistic LBLOCA (RLBLOCA), RELAP5 based evaluation model for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
S-RELAP5 routine associated with the RODEX3a fuel rod model. While performing code restructuring activities a code developer reported an issue in an S-RELAP5 routine associated with the RODEX3a fuel rod model in the code. In RLBLOCA analyses, RODEX3a is used to calculate the fuel rod conditions. The issue involves the trapped stack model in subroutine mdatr3, which is part of the
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 9 of 25 RODEX3a fuel rod model in the code. The error affects any RODEX3a based S-RELAP5 analysis which contains a "trapped stack" of fuel pellets. A "trapped stack" condition exists in any fuel rod containing a "locked" gap with open gaps lying at lower axial levels. A gap is locked when the calculated gap dimension is less than 0.5 mils. That dimension was chosen for the locked criteria to account for roughness, pellet cocking, and cladding ovality effects. All axial levels below the lowest locked gap are part of a trapped stack.
The erroneous coding in mdatr3 involves incorrect variable addressing which essentially deactivates the trapped stack model. The effect of this error would not be obvious in existing analyses since preliminary assessments indicate the effect of a functioning trapped stack model is very small. Although the effect is small it was determined that it can be conservative or non-conservative depending of the steady-state initial stored energy.
A development version of S-RELAP5 was prepared with the correct evaluation of the trapped stack model and several code validation and plant sample problems were repeated. The assessments included analyses for RLBLOCA Rev 0. The SBLOCA analysis is not affected by this change because RODEX2, as opposed to RODEX3a, is used in the analysis.
The estimated impact of this change on the North Anna Unit 1 and Unit 2 RLBLOCA analyses calculated PCT is -100 F.
For North Anna Unit 2, the above issue resulted in the accumulation of changes to the calculated peak fuel cladding temperature to exceed 50 0 F, and was previously reported to the NRC in a letter dated October 2, 2013 (Serial No.13-522) to meet the 30-day reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii).
- 3. Westinghouse identified the following change or error in the SBLOCA evaluation models for North Anna Units 1 and 2 during 2013.
SBLOCTA Cladding Strain Requirement for Fuel Rod Burst. An error was discovered in the minimum local strain required for burst for ZIRLO cladding in the SBLOCTA code. The coding does not enforce reaching the minimum percent local strain threshold prior to calculating fuel rod burst. However, a review of licensing basis analyses revealed no instances of this error impacting calculated results. Resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change to the Evaluation Model as described in Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
After review of current licensing basis analyses, and the phenomena and physics of a SBLOCA transient, it is concluded that this error has a negligible effect on SBLOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/3361423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 10 of 25
- 4. Westinghouse identified the following changes and errors applicable to the 2004 Westinghouse BE LBLOCA EM using the Automated Statistical Treatment of Uncertainty Method (ASTRUM) based evaluation model for North Anna Units 1 and 2 during 2013.
" General Code Maintenance. Various changes have been made to enhance the usability of codes and to streamline future analyses. Examples of these changes include modifying input variable definitions, units and defaults; improving the input diagnostic checks; enhancing the code output; optimizing active coding; and eliminating inactive coding. The nature of these changes leads to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
- Initial Fuel Pellet Average Temperature Uncertainty Calculation. In the ASTRUM BE LBLOCA EM, uncertainties are applied to the gap heat transfer coefficient and pellet thermal conductivity to capture the uncertainty in the initial fuel pellet average temperature. This approach was compared to the initial fuel pellet average temperature uncertainties predicted by the PAD code at beginning-of-life conditions and found to be conservative in Section 25-4-2-4 of WCAP-12945-P-A. However, the initial fuel pellet average temperature uncertainty range analyzed at higher burnups in the ASTRUM EM is much wider than the uncertainty range predicted by the PAD code, which may result in excessively low or high analyzed initial fuel pellet average temperatures. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing ASTRUM LBLOCA analysis results. The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.

Correction to Heat Transfer Node Initialization. An error was discovered in the heat transfer node initialization logic in WCOBRAITRAC whereby the heat transfer node center locations could be inconsistent with the geometric node center elevations. The primary effects of this issue are on the interpolated fluid properties and grid turbulent mixing enhancement at the heat transfer node. This problem has been evaluated for impact on existing analyses and its resolution represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
Based on engineering judgment and the results from a matrix of representative plant calculations, it is concluded that the effect of this error is within the code resolution, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
Mass Conservation Error Fix. It was identified that mass was not conserved in WCOBRA/TRAC one-dimensional component cells when void fraction values were calculated to be slightly out of the physical range (greater than 1.0 or smaller than 0.0). This was observed to result in artificial mass generation on the secondary side of steam generator components. Correction of this problem represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
This error was observed to primarily affect the mass on the secondary side of the steam generator. This issue was judged to have a negligible impact on the North Anna Units 1 and 2 LBLOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
Correction to Split Channel Momentum Equation. An error was discovered in the momentum equation calculations for split channels in WCOBRA/TRAC. This error impacts the (1) continuity area of the phantom/boundary bottom cell;
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-3051336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 12 of 25 (2) bottom and top continuity area correction factors for the channel inlet at the bottom of a section and for the channel outlet at the top of a section; and (3) drop entrainment mass rate per unit volume and drop de-entrainment mass rate per unit volume contributions to the momentum calculations for split channels. This problem has been evaluated for impact on existing analyses and its resolution represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
Based on the results from a matrix of representative plant calculations, it is concluded that the effect of this error on the quantities directly impacted by the momentum equation calculations for split channels (velocities, flows, etc.) is negligible, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
Heat Transfer Logic Correction for Rod Burst Calculation. A change was made to the WCOBRA/TRAC coding to correct an error which had disabled rod burst in separate effect test simulations. This change represents a Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-13451.
Based on the nature of the change and the evaluation model requirements for plant modeling in Westinghouse BE LBLOCA analyses with WCOBRA/TRAC, it is judged that the existing North Anna Units 1 and 2 analyses are not impacted by this change, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
Changes to Vessel Superheated Steam Properties. Several related changes were made to the WCOBRA/TRAC coding for the vessel super-heated water properties, including updating the HGAS subroutine coding to be consistent with Equation 10-6 of the Code Qualification Document (CQD) topical WCAP-12945-P-A, updating the approximation of the enthalpy in the TGAS subroutine to be consistent with the HGAS subroutine coding, and updating the temperature iteration method and convergence criteria in the TGAS subroutine.
These changes represent a closely-related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
The updates to the calculations of the superheated steam properties had generally less than 1OF impact on the resulting steam temperature values, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-3051336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 13 of 25 Update to Metal Density Reference Temperatures. It was identified that for one-dimensional components in which heat transfer to stainless steel 304 or 316 is modeled, the reference temperature for the metal density calculation was allowed to vary; as a result the total metal mass was not preserved. Correction of this problem represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
This change primarily impacts the reactor coolant system loop piping modeled in the LBLOCA WCOBRAITRAC models. It was judged that the effect of this change on the PCT results was negligible, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
- Decay Heat Model Error Corrections. The decay heat model in the WCOBRAITRAC code was updated to correct the erroneously coded value of the yield fraction directly from fission for Group 19 of Pu-239 and to include the term for uncertainty in the prompt energy per fission in the calculation of the decay heat power uncertainty. Correction of these errors represents a closely-related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
These changes have a negligible impact on the calculated decay heat power, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
- Correction to the Pipe Exit Pressure Drop Error. An error was discovered in WCOBRAITRAC whereby the frictional pressure drop at the split break TEE connection to the BREAK component was incorrectly calculated using the TEE hydraulic diameter instead of the BREAK component length input. This error has been evaluated for impact on existing analyses and its resolution represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
Based on the results from a matrix of representative plant calculations, it is concluded that the effect of this error on the pressure at the break and the break flow is negligible, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
WCOBRA/TRAC u19 File Dimension Error Correction. A problem was identified in the dimension of an array used to generate the u19 file in WCOBRA/TRAC. The u19 file is read during HSDRIVER execution and provides information needed to generate the HOTSPOT thermal-hydraulic history and user input files. The array used to write the desired information to the u19 file is dimensioned to 2000 in WCOBRA/TRAC. It is possible, however, for more than 2000 curves to be written to the u19 file. If that is the case, it is possible that the curves would not be stored correctly on the u19 file. A survey of current BE LOCA analyses indicated that the majority of plants had less than 2000 curves in their u19 files; therefore, these plants are not affected by the
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/3361423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 14 of 25 change. For those plants with more than 2000 curves, plant-specific sensitivity calculations indicated that resolution of this issue does not impact the PCT calculation for prior analyses. This represents a Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-1 3451.
As discussed above, resolution of this issue does not impact the PCT calculation for prior LBLOCA analyses, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
Revised Heat Transfer Multiplier Distributions. Some of the changes and error corrections described above affect the WCOBRA/TRAC heat transfer models, the heat transfer node initialization, or the heat transfer renoding logic.
This lead to an investigation of the heat transfer multiplier distributions using the results for the Separate Effects Tests (SETs) and Integral Effects Tests (lETs).
During this investigation, errors were discovered in the development of the original multiplier distributions, including errors in the grid locations specified in the WCOBRAfTRAC models for the G2 Refill and G2 Reflood tests, and errors in processing test data used to develop the reflood heat transfer multiplier distribution.
The blowdown, heatup, blowdown cooling, refill, and reflood heat transfer multiplier distributions were redeveloped. The revised heat transfer multiplier distributions have been evaluated for impact on existing analyses. Resolution of these issues represents a closely related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
A plant transient calculation representative of North Anna transient behavior was performed with the latest version of WCOBRA/TRAC. Using this transient, a matrix of HOTSPOT calculations was performed to estimate the effect of the heat transfer multiplier distribution changes. The limiting runs for the North Anna analyses were identified, including consideration of the TCD effects and other evaluations on the analysis of record (AOR) which substantially impacted the ranking or PCTs of the limiting cases. The set of limiting runs for North Anna were selected such that less limiting runs which were not explicitly considered would not become limiting due to the estimated PCT impact from the change in heat transfer multipliers. The heat transfer multipliers for each run were used to identify which bin that multiplier falls into, and an estimated PCT impact for that individual multiplier was assigned. The individual estimated PCT impacts for the run (based on the four multipliers) were summed to estimate the overall impact on the run. Finally, the run results were re-ranked based on the estimated impacts on each run. The change between the estimated 95/95 PCT before and after this process was reported as the estimate of effect for the North Anna analyses.
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/4231338/3391280/281 Attachment 1, Page 15 of 25 Using these results and considering the heat transfer multiplier uncertainty attributes from limiting cases for North Anna Unit 1 had a -27 0 F PCT change and North Anna Unit 2 had a -4 0 F PCT change.
HOTSPOT Burst Strain Error Correction. An error in the application of the burst strain was discovered in HOTSPOT. The equation for the application of the burst strain is given as Equation 7-69 in WCAP-16009-P-A and in WCAP-12945-P-A. The outer radius of the cladding after burst occurs should be calculated based on the burst strain, and the inner radius of the cladding should be calculated based on the outer radius. In HOTSPOT, the burst strain is applied to the calculation of the cladding inner radius. The cladding outer radius is then calculated based on the inner radius. As such, the burst strain is incorrectly applied to the inner radius rather than the outer radius, which impacts the resulting cladding geometry at the burst elevation after burst occurs.
Correction of the erroneous calculation results in thinner cladding at the burst node and more fuel relocating into the burst node, leading to an increase in the PCT at the burst node. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing BE LBLOCA analysis results. The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The impact of fuel pellet TCD and peaking factor burndown was determined for North Anna Units 1 and 2 from the 10th-ranked output of large run sets of plant-specific th HOTSPOT calculations. Because many cases may affect the 10 -ranked output, it was not practical to choose a small subset of these cases to re-execute for the evaluation of the error in the application of the burst strain.
Therefore, the estimated effect of this issue was determined from the results for other plants with a 17x1 7 fuel array that have plant-specific HOTSPOT calculations that include the impact of TCD and peaking factor burndown.
Starting from the most recent HOTSPOT runs which include TCD for these 17x17 plants, a subset of potentially PCT limiting cases was identified and assessed to determine whether a HOTSPOT rerun was required based on the PCT and burst characteristics. Specifically, the PCT (considering burst and nonburst elevations), the time of burst, and the burst strain were considered in this assessment. The correction of the error in the application of the burst strain results in an increase to the PCT at the burst node. The impact is expected to be larger for cases with an earlier burst time and/or a larger burst strain due to the amount of subsequent fuel relocation after burst which increases the linear heat rate.
To estimate the effect of the error in the application of the burst strain for these 17x1 7 plants, HOTSPOT cases were executed with a version of HOTSPOT with the error in the application of the burst strain corrected. These HOTSPOT executions correspond to those cases identified to have near limiting PCT, high burst strain, and early burst time. The effect of local uncertainties for both
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-3051336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 16 of 25 Integral Fuel Burnable Absorber (IFBA) and non-IFBA fuel was considered in this evaluation.
The estimated effect of the error in the application of the burst strain for these 17x17 plants was then taken as the difference between the maximum PCT when considering the effects of the error in the application of the burst strain and the previously limiting PCT considering the revised heat transfer multipliers distributions.
The average PCT impact for the other 17x1 7 plants that have plant-specific HOTSPOT calculations that include the impact of TCD and peaking factor burndown was increased by 50% to conservatively determine the estimated effect of the error in the application of the burst strain for North Anna Units 1 and 2.
The issue described above was evaluated based on the results of executing the most limiting plant-specific HOTSPOT runs for similar plants with a HOTSPOT version that includes the correction of this error. This resulted in an estimated PCT impact of 21 *F for North Anna Unit 1 and Unit 2.
Changes to Grid Blockage Ratio and Porosity. A change in the methodology used to calculate grid blockage ratio and porosity for Westinghouse fuel resulted in a change to the grid inputs used in the North Anna Units 1 and 2 LBLOCA analysis. Grid inputs affect heat transfer in the core during a LBLOCA. This change represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The updates to the methodology to calculate grid blockage ratio and porosity used as input in Westinghouse LBLOCA models resulted in a negligible change to heat transfer in the core for the fuel type used in North Anna Units 1 and 2.
The estimated penalty associated with the changes is 0°F for 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes.
Grid Heat Transfer Enhancement Calculation. An issue was identified which could affect the calculation of the heat transfer at gridded elevations for BE LBLOCA EMs. For a specific input condition, the grid heat transfer enhancement factor is calculated based on an erroneous core geometry, which can cause an over-prediction of the heat transfer coefficient at gridded elevations. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing LBLOCA analysis results. The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The effect described above was judged to have a negligible effect on existing LBLOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/2801281 Attachment 1, Page 17 of 25 Vessel Section 7 Mid-Level Elevation Modeling. Documentation deficiencies have been identified which are associated with the LB LOCA EM and plant specific analyses. The first is an incorrect statement made on page 20-4-5 of WCAP-12945-P-A. The Section 7 mid-level elevation utilized in the sample analysis is stated as being at the bottom of the deep beam device. In the model, the Section 7 mid-level elevation is at the top of the topmost support column flow slot. In addition, the bottom of Section 7 is characterized as being at the bottom of the Hot Leg, but in the model, the bottom of the section is set at the top of the Hot Leg. The similar statement made at page 12-6 of WCAP-16009-P-A could also be incorrect. These are not considered changes to the methodology, but rather, corrections of the documentation. These changes represent a closely-related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
Westinghouse considers that for 3 and 4 loop plants with the deep beam design (those with Upper Support Plates of design type 'Flat' and 'Top Hat' in nature),
the choice of setting the level breakpoint at either position is equally correct, since there are no geometry aspects in this axial position of the vessel that warrant a critical modeling decision to capture LBLOCA transient phenomena.
Furthermore, the level difference was only approximately 5" for a typical application. Since either model is appropriate, there is no PCT penalty to assess for 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes. Future analyses can use either coordinate.
Burst Elevation Selection. It is stated on page 11-20 of WCAP-1 6009-P-A that the burst option is applied at the elevation corresponding to the (WCOBRA/TRAC) burst elevation for the hot assembly rod. This approach was modified to apply the burst option at the HOTSPOT predicted burst elevation as described on page 19 of Attachment 1 to LTR-NRC-06-8. The HOTSPOT code has been updated to incorporate the following changes to the burst elevation selection logic if multiple nodes burst at the same time: (1) the node that has the highest cladding temperature at the time of burst is selected; (2) if multiple nodes have the same burst time and cladding temperature at the time of burst, the lowest ordered elevation of those nodes is selected. These changes represent a closely-related group of Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-13451.
This improvement in burst elevation selection is a forward-fit change, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 00 F.

SBLOCTA Cladding Strain Requirement for Fuel Rod Burst. An error was discovered in the minimum local strain required for burst for ZIRLO cladding in the SBLOCTA code. The coding does not enforce reaching the minimum percent local strain threshold prior to calculating fuel rod burst. However, a review of licensing basis analyses revealed no instances of this error impacting calculated results. Resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change to the Evaluation Model as described in Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
After review of current licensing basis analyses and the phenomena and physics of a small break LOCA transient, it is concluded that this error has a negligible effect on small break LOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 00F.

The updates to the calculations of the superheated steam properties had generally less than 1VF impact on the resulting steam temperature values, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F for Surry Units 1 and 2.
Update to Metal Density Reference Temperatures. It was identified that for one-dimensional components in which heat transfer to stainless steel 304 or 316 is modeled, the reference temperature for the metal density calculation was allowed to vary; as a result the total metal mass was not preserved.

- WCOBRAITRAC u19 File Dimension Error Correction. A problem was identified in the dimension of an array used to generate the u19 file in

The u19 file is read during HSDRIVER execution and provides information needed to generate the HOTSPOT thermal-hydraulic history and user input files.

The blowdown, heatup, blowdown cooling, refill, and reflood heat transfer multiplier distributions were redeveloped. The revised heat transfer multiplier distributions have been evaluated for impact on existing analyses. Resolution of these issues represents a closely related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-1 3451.
A plant transient calculation representative of Surry transient behavior was performed with the latest version of WCOBRA/TRAC. Using this transient, a matrix of HOTSPOT calculations was performed to estimate the effect of the heat transfer multiplier distribution changes. The limiting runs for the Surry analysis were identified, including consideration of the TCD effects and other evaluations on the analysis of record (AOR) which substantially impacted the ranking or PCTs of the limiting cases. The set of limiting runs for Surry were selected such that less limiting runs which were not explicitly considered would not become limiting due to the estimated PCT impact from the change in heat transfer multipliers. The heat transfer multipliers for each run were used to identify which bin that multiplier falls into, and an estimated PCT impact for that
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 23 of 25 individual multiplier was assigned. The individual estimated PCT impacts for the run (based on the four multipliers) were summed to estimate the overall impact on the run. Finally, the run results were re-ranked based on the estimated impacts on each run. The change between the estimated 95/95 PCT before and after this process was reported as the estimate of effect for the Surry analysis.
Using these results and considering the heat transfer multiplier uncertainty attributes from limiting cases for Surry Units 1 and 2, an estimated PCT effect of
-7°F has been established for 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes.
HOTSPOT Burst Strain Error Correction. An error in the application of the burst strain was discovered in HOTSPOT. The equation for the application of the burst strain is given as Equation 7-69 in WCAP-16009-P-A and in WCAP-12945-P-A. The outer radius of the cladding after burst occurs should be calculated based on the burst strain, and the inner radius of the cladding should be calculated based on the outer radius. In HOTSPOT, the burst strain is applied to the calculation of the cladding inner radius. The cladding outer radius is then calculated based on the inner radius. As such, the burst strain is incorrectly applied to the inner radius rather than the outer radius, which impacts the resulting cladding geometry at the burst elevation after burst occurs. Correction of the erroneous calculation results in thinner cladding at the burst node and more fuel relocating into the burst node, leading to an increase in the PCT at the burst node. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing BE LBLOCA analysis results. The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The issue described above was evaluated by executing the most limiting plant-specific HOTSPOT runs with a HOTSPOT version that includes the correction of this error. This plant-specific sensitivity study resulted in an estimated PCT impact of 51°F for Surry Units 1 and 2.
For Surry Units 1 and 2, the above issues resulted in the accumulation of changes to the calculated peak fuel cladding temperature to exceed 50 0 F, and was previously reported to the NRC in a letter dated February 27, 2014 (Serial No.14-082) to meet the 30-day reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii).
Subsequent to the 30 day report, in the summary of changes provided by Westinghouse for 2013, there were four additional changes.
Changes to Grid Blockage Ratio and Porosity. A change in the methodology used to calculate grid blockage ratio and porosity for Westinghouse fuel resulted in a change to the grid inputs used in the Surry Units 1 and 2 LBLOCA analysis.
Grid inputs affect heat transfer in the core during a LBLOCA. This change
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/336/423/338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 24 of 25 represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The updates to the methodology to calculate grid blockage ratio and porosity used as input in Westinghouse LBLOCA models resulted in a negligible change to heat transfer in the core for the fuel type used in Surry Units 1 and 2. The estimated penalty associated with the changes is 0°F for 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes.
- Grid Heat Transfer Enhancement Calculation. An issue was identified which could affect the calculation of the heat transfer at gridded elevations for BE LBLOCA EMs. For a specific input condition, the grid heat transfer enhancement factor is calculated based on an erroneous core geometry, which can cause an over-prediction of the heat transfer coefficient at gridded elevations. This issue has been evaluated to estimate the impact on existing LBLOCA analysis results. The resolution of this issue represents a Non-Discretionary Change in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
The effect described above was judged to have a negligible effect on existing LBLOCA analysis results, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
- Vessel Section 7 Mid-Level Elevation Modeling. Documentation deficiencies have been identified which are associated with the LBLOCA EM and plant specific analyses. The first is an incorrect statement made on page 20-4-5 of WCAP-12945-P-A. The Section 7 mid-level elevation utilized in the sample analysis is stated as being at the bottom of the deep beam device. In the model, the Section 7 mid-level elevation is at the top of the topmost support column flow slot. In addition, the bottom of Section 7 is characterized as being at the bottom of the Hot Leg, but in the model, the bottom of the section is set at the top of the Hot Leg. The similar statement made at page 12-6 of WCAP-16009-P-A could also be incorrect. These are not considered changes to the methodology, but rather, corrections of the documentation. These changes represent a closely-related group of Non-Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.2 of WCAP-13451.
Westinghouse considers that for 3 and 4 loop plants with the deep beam design (those with Upper Support Plates of design type 'Flat' and 'Top Hat' in nature),
the choice of setting the level breakpoint at either position is equally correct, since there are no geometry aspects in this axial position of the vessel that warrant a critical modeling decision to capture LBLOCA transient phenomena.
Furthermore, the level difference was only approximately 5" for a typical application. Since either model is appropriate, there is no PCT penalty to assess for 10 CFR 50.46 Reporting purposes. Future analyses can use either coordinate.
Serial Number 14-302 Docket Nos. 50-305/33614231338/339/280/281 Attachment 1, Page 25 of 25 Burst Elevation Selection. It is stated on page 11-20 of WCAP-16009-P-A that the burst option is applied at the elevation corresponding to the (WCOBRA/TRAC) burst elevation for the hot assembly rod. This approach was modified to apply the burst option at the HOTSPOT predicted burst elevation as described on page 19 of Attachment 1 to LTR-NRC-06-8. The HOTSPOT code has been updated to incorporate the following changes to the burst elevation selection logic if multiple nodes burst at the same time: (1) the node that has the highest cladding temperature at the time of burst is selected; (2) if multiple nodes have the same burst time and cladding temperature at the time of burst, the lowest ordered elevation of those nodes is selected. These changes represent a closely-related group of Discretionary Changes in accordance with Section 4.1.1 of WCAP-13451.
This improvement in burst elevation selection is a forward-fit change, leading to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F.
Conclusion The LOCA results for Kewaunee, Millstone Units 2 and 3, North Anna Units 1 and 2, and Surry Units 1 and 2 are confirmed (PCT rackup tables Attachments 2 through 5) to have sufficient margin to the 2200°F limit for PCT specified in 10 CFR 50.46.
