ULTIMATE HEAT SINK TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST WATERFORD 3 JUNE 1, 2017 1

Ultimate Heat Sink Pre-Submittal Meeting

Introductions

John Jarrell - Regulatory Assurance Manager Jason McGowan - Project Manager Alex Tojeiro - Design Engineer Dale Gallodoro - Entergy Contract Support William Steelman - Entergy Contract Support Greg Zysk - LPI John Cooper and Associates - by phone 2

Ultimate Heat Sink Pre-Submittal Meeting Agenda

  • Adverse Condition - Hot Air Recirculation
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics Model
  • Thermal Hydraulic Model
  • Technical Specification Change 3

Ultimate Heat Sink Design Wet Cooling Tower (WCT)

ACC-126 Temperature ACCW Pump Control Valve CCW HX Dry Cooling Tower (DCT)

CCW Pump Heat Loads 4

Ultimate Heat Sink Design Aerial View Missile DCT Shield Missile Shield DCT WCT WCT 5

Adverse Condition - Hot Air Recirculation The recirculation effect during startup testing was observed to exceed the values used in the design basis, and there is insufficient basis for using the lower values in the design basis.

Computational Fluid Dynamics Model ANSYS CFX

  • The complex flow field produced under limiting cooling tower operation is evaluated using ANSYS CFX.
  • ANSYS CFX is an appropriate tool for evaluating the complex geometry and mix of buoyancy, wind, and fan driven flows.
  • Adherence to NUREG-2152, which describes best practice guidelines for CFD.
  • CFD modeling was benchmarked to the 1982 startup test data and was shown to produce conservative results.

Thermal Hydraulic Model Meteorological Study

  • Most severe combination of meteorological parameters as a function of dry bulb temperature.
  • Critical time periods in accordance with RG 1.27:

- 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> (LOCA Peak Heat Load)

- 3 day (Natural Circulation Cooldown)

- 3 day (LOCA WCT Water Consumption)

- 7 day (Tornado UHS Heat Load)

  • Use of plant data provides significantly more data points than available from NOAA and is more directly applicable to the site.

Thermal Hydraulic Model Ultimate Heat Sink - ECM95-008 Calculation ECM95-008, Ultimate Heat Sink Design Basis analyses the following conditions/events:

  • Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA)
  • Non-LOCA Shutdown
  • Design Basis Tornado
  • Spent Fuel Pool Cooling, including Full Core Offload
  • Normal Operation, Normal Shutdown, and Normal Refueling 17

Thermal Hydraulic Model Ultimate Heat Sink - ECM95-008

- UHS provides cooling for 30 days

  • Water Inventory Margin

- Temperature of Safety Related equipment not Exceeded

  • CCW Supply Temperature

- Bounding Meteorological Parameters

  • Combination of parameters representative of the site 18

Thermal Hydraulic Model Ultimate Heat Sink - ECM95-008

  • UHS Design Basis Reconstitution
  • Use Meteorological Study
  • DCT Performance Relationships
  • WCT Thermal Performance Curves
  • Containment Heat Loads
  • DCT Tube Plugging / Sleeving Allowance
  • Integrated System Analysis for Evaluating Water Temperatures and Evaporation 19

Thermal Hydraulic Model Ultimate Heat Sink - Post-Mod Testing

  • Confirmatory Testing for New WCT Performance Curves with OOS fans

- Testing will be performed similar to GL89-13 testing, except with WCT Fans Isolated and Covered

  • DCT Performance and Recirculation Testing

- CFD Model validated as conservative with startup tests

- Limiting conditions are based upon wind speed, temperature, and heat loads which are not producible during testing.

Technical Specifications Change Changes to 3/4.7.4:

  • 3.7.4.c: Tornado Watch Action Addition of tube bundles.

Allows one fan OOS under missile shield if projected 7-day average temperature is 74°F.

  • 3.7.4.d: Temperature Monitoring Adds periodic check of 3-day average temperature
  • 3.7.4.e (new): Basin Cross-Connect Adds action for WCT basin cross-connect being inoperable
  • 4.7.4.c (new): Basin Cross-Connect Verify cross connect valve can open 21

Technical Specifications Change Current TS Fan Requirements 22

Technical Specifications Change Proposed (Draft) TS Fan Requirements 23

Technical Specifications Change 24

Precedent / History

  • Waterford 3 Amendment 237 [ADAMS Accession Number ML12250A435]
  • Current Technical Specification UHS fan requirements based upon this amendment.

25

Closing

  • Waterford 3 attempted to be proactive with identifying problems with the UHS design and recovering margin where possible.
  • The DCTRB increases separation between inlet &

exhaust and provides a real UHS performance improvement.

  • Calculations will be provided via electronic file-sharing.
  • Expected submittal date is August 4, 2017.
