Historical Drop Times CEA drop time group arithmetic average 3200 3100 Time tto 90% (millliseconds) 3000 2900 2800 2700 2600 2500 2400 Cycle Number

  • Cycle 20 includes repeated test 5

Potential Causes Plant Primary Side Modifications

  • Reactor Vessel Head replacement
  • CEA replacement
  • Transition to Next Generation Fuel Product 6

Proposed TS Change

- Raise the Individual CEA drop times to 3.5 seconds 7

Analysis Goal Overall

  • The Chapter 15 Safety Analyses continue to meet all acceptance criteria

Safety Analysis Basis Analysis Margin

  • Safety analysis input (SAIs) consist of plant design and operating parameters that include uncertainties associated with them.
  • Safety analyses apply the uncertainties in a conservative, or more restrictive, t i ti di direction.

ti

  • On some parameters, the SAI uses a bounding input value, which is more adverse than the plant parameter plus uncertainty uncertainty.
  • Thus, the bounding SAI includes analysis margin, which can be reclaimed later.

>> Linear Heat Rate (LHR)

- DNB and LHR Protection

  • Core Protection Calculator Systems (CPCS) 12

Safety Analysis Margin COLSS ROPM (contd)

  • ROPM

- Event ROPM is the actual thermal margin change during the design basis event (DBE).

- Initial Analysis ROPM is the thermal margin set aside by the Safety Analyses at the start of the event event.

- COLSS ROPM is the thermal margin reserved by the COLSS to support the Technical Specification LCOs.

- If COLSS ROPM > Event ROPM, then the minimum DNBR (mDNBR) > DNB Specified Acceptable Fuel Design g Limit (SAFDL)

( )

- ROPM can be used to offset calculated fuel failures due to DNB.
