1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report provides the results of the analyses performed by Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corporation (ANF)* in support of the Cycle 3 reload for Susquehanna Unit 2, which is scheduled to commence operation in the spring of 1988. This report is intended to be used in conjunction with ANF topical report

~XN-Np- -191 A, 91 4, R 11 1, Nppti 1 1 1 1 N Company Methodology to BWR Reloads," which describes the analyses performed in support of this reload, identifies the methodology used for those analyses, and provides a generic reference list. However, LHGR mechanical design limits (Reference 9. 1) and plant transient simulation model developments (Reference 9.141 b 1 dbyANF b 4 t NRN P 1 F~F-Volume 4, Revi'sion 1. Both References 9. 1 and 9.2 have been approved by the NRC for use in referencing in license applications. Section numbers in this 9 t 1 9 dtd tt b 1 X-N- - fNJ, olume 4, Revision 1.

The Susquehanna Unit 2 Cycle 3 core will comprise a total of 764 fuel assemblies, including 236 unirradiated ANF XN-2 9x9 assemblies, 324 irradiated ANF XN-1 9x9 assemblies, 112 irradiated General Electric 8x8R fuel assemblies (central region), and 92 irradiated GE 8x8R assemblies in the peripheral region. The reference core configuration is described in Section 4.2.

The design and safety analyses reported in this document were based on the design and operational assumptions in effect for Susquehanna Unit 2 during the previous operating cycle. Additional information and the results of design studies covering the development of 9x9 fuel assemblies for BWR reloads are contained in Reference 9.3.

f ANF-87-126 Revision 1 2.0 FUEL MECHANICAL DESIGN ANALYSIS Applicable ANF Fuel Design Report: Reference 9. 1 To assure that the expected power history for the fuels to be irradiated during Cycle 3 of Susquehanna Unit 2 is bounded by the assumed power history in the fuel mechanical design analysis, LHGR operating limits (Figure 3.3 of Reference 9. 1) have been specified. In addition, an LHGR transient operating'imit for Anticipated Operating Occurrences (Figure 3.4 of Reference 9. 1) has been specified for ANF 9x9 fuel. Additional information on rod bow, as requested in the NRC's safety evaluation report for Reference 9. 1, has been transmitted in Reference 9.4.

ANF-87-126 Revision 1 3.0 THERMAL HYDRAULIC DESIGN ANALYSIS 3.2 H draul i c Char aeter i zat i on 3.2.1 H draulic Com atibilit Component hydraulic resistances for the constituent fuel types in the Susquehanna Unit 2 Cycle 3 core have been determined in single phase flow tests of full scale assemblies. Figure 3. 1 shows the hydraulic demand curves for ANF 9x9 fuel and GE 8x8R fuel in the Susquehanna Unit 2 core. The similar hydraulic performance indicates compatibility for co-residence in 'he Susquehanna Unit 2 core.

~ ~ Stabilit Surveillance Power/Flow Map Figure 4.4 The Unit 2 Cycle 2 Technical Specifications require APRM/LPRM surveillance to the left of the 45% Constant Flow line and above the 80% Rod Block line.

Based on core hydrodynamic stability analyses, operation at power/flow combinations above and to the left of the line connecting the 66% Power/45%

Flow and 69% Power/47% Flow points but below the APRM Rod Block line needs to be added to the APRM/LPRM surveillance requirement (see Section 4.2.4).

SINGLE LOOP OPERATION This Appendix provides limits and justification of those limits for Single Loop Operation (SLO).

A.l ANTICIPATED OPERATIONAL OCCURRENCES Reference A. 1 The NSSS supplier has provided analyses which demonstrate the safety of plant operation with a single recirculation loop out of service for an extended V

period of time. These analyses restrict the overall operation of the plant to lower bundle power levels and lower nodal power levels than are allowed. when oth recirculation systems are in oper ation. The physical interdependence between core power and recirculation flow rate inherently limits the core to less than rated power. ANF fuel was designed to be compatible with the co-resident fuel in thermal hydraulic, nuclear, and mechanical design performance. The ANF methodology has given results which are consistent with those of previous analyses for normal two-loop operation. Many analyses performed by the NSSS supplier for single loop operation are also applicable to single loop operation with fuel and analyses provided by ANF.

For single loop operation, the NSSS vendor found that an increase of 0.01 in the HCPR safety limit was needed to account for the increased flow measurement uncertainties and increased tip uncertainties associated with single pump operation. ANF has evaluated the effects of the increased flow measurement uncertainties on the safety limit HCPR and found that the NSSS vendor determined increase in the allowed safety limit MCPR is also applicable to ANF fuel during single loop operation. Thus, increasing the safety limit HCPR by 0.01 for single loop operation (1.07) with ANF fuel is sufficiently onservative to also bound the increased flow measurement uncertainties for single loop operation.

A-2 ANF Revisio The limiting MCPR operating limit for single loop operation is conservatively set using the limiting pump seizure accident delta CPR plus the single loop operation HCPR safety limit. This limit together with the. HCPRf curve for two loop operation plus .Ol and the MCPRp curve for two loop operation plus .Ol conservatively bound all transients.

The Technical Specifications require APRH/LPRH surveillance to the left of the 45% Constant Flow line and above the 80% Rod Block line. Based on core hydrodynamic stability analyses for Cycle 3, operation at power/flow combinations above and to the left of the line connecting the 66% Power/45%

Flow and 69% Power/47% Flow points needs to be added to the APRM/LPRM surveillance requirements. Figure 4.4 shows the core power versus core flow established for Cycle 3.

A-3 ANF-87-126 Revision 1 A.2 POSTULATED ACCIDENTS Reference A.2 ANF performed LOCA analyses for single loop conditions and has determined that the MAPLHGR limit curve (Section 7.2) for two-loop operation is also applicable to single loop operation for ANF 9x9 fuels.

B-1 ANF-87-126 Revision I APPENDIX B SEISMIC- LOCA EVALUATION The structural response of Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corporation's (ANF's) 9x9 fuel is similar to the structural response of the GE BxBR fuel it replaces in the Susquehanna Unit 2 core. Therefore, the seismic-LOCA structural response evaluation performed in support of the initial core remains applicable and continues to provide assurance that control blade insertion will not be inhibited following the occurrence of the design basis seismic-LOCA event.

The physical and structural properties of the 9x9 and the Bx8 fuel types which are important to the dynamic response of the fuel are summarized in Table B. l.

he close agreement between the important parameters for the ANF 9x9 and GE x8R fuel types indicates that the structural response would be very similar for both fuel types.

Similarity in the natural frequencies of the two fuel types mentioned above is further assured by the stiffness of the fuel assembly channel box. Both fuel types use the same fuel assembly channel box, and the channel box dominates the overall dynamic response of the incore fuel. ANF calculations show that approximately 97% of the stiffness of a fuel assembly is attributable to the stiffness of the channel box. For this reason, the dynamic structural response of the reload core is essentially that of the initial core, and the original seismic-LOCA analysis remains applicable. Deformation of the channel to the point that control blade insertion is inhibited is not predicted to occur.
