Description of Change Proposed New FSAR 15.2.3 Turbine Trip Analysis for primary and secondary system overpressure evaluations
- Uses Duke Energy methodology similar to that licensed for use at Catawba, McGuire, and Oconee not currently described in the Harris FSAR.
- Therefore, the new analysis is not eligible for implementation under 10 CFR 50.59.

=
Background===
- Main Steam Safety Valve History (15 valves total)
- 5 valves tested every operating cycle per IST program
- Frequently found one of five slightly outside 1% tolerance, but rarely were any outside 3%
- Currently testing at increased frequency to compensate for drift outside 1% over 4 1/2 year period.
- Pressurizer Safety Valve History (3 valves total)
- One valve removed every refueling outage and tested at vendor facility
- As-found condition outside of 1% tolerance on several occasions, but rarely were any outside 3%
8
Licensing Approach
- Determine FSAR analyses potentially affected
- Document justification for those analyses (remain bounding, remains non-limiting, or analyze)
- Reanalyze FSAR 15.2.3 turbine trip for primary and secondary overpressure (NRC approval required)
- Document acceptable results for FSAR 5.2.2 (NRC approval required)
- Other associated changes will be implemented under 10 CFR 50.59 9
Technical Approach
- Scope of Reviews
- Each FSAR Chapter 15.0 Event
- Mass and Energy Releases (FSAR Chapter 6.0)
- OPT and OTT Reactor Trip Equations
- Core Safety Limit Lines (TS Figure 2.1-1)
- Offsite Doses
- PSV evaluation (TMI II.D.1) 10
Analytical Methods and Inputs Used in Review
- Existing Methods Used exclusive of turbine trip
- Turbine Trip used new DE analysis 11
Results (Except turbine trip)
- OPT and OTT Equations
- Core Safety Limit Lines
- No impact to dose analysis
- FSAR Non-LOCA events:
- Bounded by Current Analysis
- Bounded by Overpressure from Turbine Trip
- Specified Acceptable Fuel Design Limits not affected 12
- No impact to Large Break LOCA
- Small Break LOCA reanalyzed
- Higher MSSV setpoint
- AFW flow decrease due to higher SG pressure
- PCT increase of 32°F 13
Level of Detail in LAR 14
FSAR Analyses With Discussion
- PSV evaluation (TMI II.D.1)
- Steam Generator Tube Rupture
- Station Blackout
- Containment Analysis mass and energy release
- ATWS 15
Summary of Analyses Exclusive of Turbine Trip
- Methods approved by NRC
- Changes within 50.59 16
Turbine Trip Reanalysis
- Harris FSAR Section 15.2.3 turbine trip analysis is reanalyzed to evaluate changes to the primary and secondary system safety valve tolerances
- Two cases are analyzed for this event:
- one challenging the primary overpressurization criterion
- one challenging secondary system overpressurization criterion
- Sensitivity case is performed to confirm the requirements of Standard Review Plan, Chapter 5.2.2 - Overpressure Protection, continue to be satisfied
- An evaluation of the DNB analysis is also performed 17
Turbine Trip Analysis Methods
- Turbine trip reanalysis is performed using the RETRAN-3D computer code
- RETRAN-3D modeling based on previously approved Duke Energy methodology DPC-NE-3000-P-A
- Harris RETRAN-3D plant model is assessed against the existing AREVA turbine trip analysis of record
- Analysis approach is based on guidance provided by Duke Energy methodology report DPC-NE-3002-A 18
Turbine Trip Benchmark Analysis
- Benchmark calculations completed for two cases from FSAR §15.2.3
- Primary and secondary overpressurization
- Match key analysis inputs and modeling assumptions
- Following slides compare sequence of events and transient response for each case 19

Turbine Trip Reanalysis
- The trip setpoints and time delays assumed in the analysis of this event are unchanged from the current FSAR analysis
- No credit is taken for the operation of the Steam Dump System or steam generator Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs)
- No credit is taken for the reactor trip on the turbine trip
- Trip signals that are expected
- high pressurizer pressure, over-temperature T, high neutron flux, high pressurizer water level and low-low steam generator water level
- Revised turbine trip analysis evaluated a pressurizer and main steam safety valve tolerance of +/-3%.

DNB Evaluation
- Sensitivity cases with different MSSV drift setpoints have been performed using the HNP RETRAN-3D model for the DNB analysis.
- The MSSV setpoint tolerance has no negative impact on the MDNBR results
Turbine Trip Summary
- Turbine trip event has been reanalyzed to evaluate changes to the primary and secondary system safety valve tolerances
- Cases analyzed demonstrate that the acceptance criteria are satisfied assuming a safety valve tolerance of +/- 3%
- Sensitivity case demonstrates the design and sizing of the pressurizer safety valves meets the overpressure design criterion cited in SRP Chapter 5.2.2 38
Conclusion
- Technical Specification 3.4.2 and 3.7.1.1 changes requested to increase pressurizer and main steam safety valve lift setting tolerances from 1% to 3%
- NRC approval requested for FSAR 15.2.3 Turbine Trip Analysis for primary and secondary overpressure
- Proposed changes continue to provide adequate protection to public health and safety.
- Accelerated review and approval of nine months requested to eliminate need for interim increased test frequencies.
