Reference:

1. TVA Letter to NRC, CNL-'I5-053, '10 CFR 50.46 Day and Annual Report for Watts Bar, Units 1 and 2," dated March 30, 2015 [ML150984124]

The purpose of this letter is to provide the annual report of changes and errors to the calculated peak cladding temperature (PCT) for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Units 1 and 2, Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) evaluation model. This report is required in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulafibns ('10 CFR) 50.46, "Acceptance Criteria for Emergency Core Cooling Systems for Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors,"

paragraph (a)(3Xii).

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted the last 10 CFR 50.46 annual report for WBN Units 1 and 2 to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the referenced letter. As indicated in the enclosure, there are no changes to the current updated (net) licensing basis PCT for the WBN Unit 1 large break loss of coolant accident (LBLOCA) and the updated (net) licensing basis PCT for the WBN Unit 1 small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA).

Similarly, there are no changes to the current updated (net) licensing basis PCT for the WBN Unit 2 LBLOCA and the updated (net) licensing basis PCT for the WBN Unit 2 SBLOCA.

There are no new regulatory commitments in this letter. Please address any questions regarding this response to Mr. Gordon Arent at 423-365-2004.

This report describes the changes and errors affecting the calculated peak cladding temperatures (PCTs) since the last analysis of record was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

TVA submitted the last 1 0 CFR 50.46 annual report for WBN Units 1 and 2 to the NRC on March 30, 2015 (Reference 1).

Table 1 lists the changes and errors in the large break LOCA (LBLOCA) analysis for WBN Unit 1 since the last analysis of record (AOR) and the associated effect on PCT. For 2015, there were no new changes or errors to report for the LBLOCA analysis. Table 2 lists the changes and errors in the small break LOCA (SBLOCA) analyses for WBN Unit 1 since the last AOR and the associated effect on PCT. The changes that were not previously identified in Reference 1 are described in the notes to Tables 1and2.

Table 3 lists the changes and errors in the LBLOCA analysis for WBN Unit 2 since the last AOR and the associated effect on PCT. For 2015, there were no new changes or errors to report for the LBLOCA analysis. Table 4 lists the changes and errors in the SBLOCA analyses for WBN Unit 2 since the last AOR and the associated effect on PCT. The changes that were not previously identified in Reference 1 are described in the notes to Tables 3 and 4.

The updated (net) licensing basis PCT for the LBLOCA and SBLOCA remain unchanged for WBN Units l and2from the last annual report.

1. 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.
2. The WBN Unit 1 and WBN Unit 2 AFW temperature during cold leg recirculation may reach a temperature of 130'F. This temperature is an increase in the AFW temperature modeled in the SBLOCA analyses of record. However, there is no effect on the SBLOCA analysis results.

1. 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.
2. The WBN Unit 1 and WBN Unit 2 AFW temperature during cold leg recirculation may reach a temperature of 130'F. This temperature is an increase in the AFW temperature modeled in the SBLOCA analyses of record. However, there is no effect on the SBLOCA analysis results.
