Proprietary Information Affidavit for CEN-115-P
Dear Mr. Stello:
Enclosures (1) and (2) are forwarded for your review.
Please note that this report constitutes the response to the short term action items number (2) and (3) of IE Bulletin 79-06C.
The information presented in CEN-115-P is gendric in nature and applies to all operating C-E designed reactors.
The results of analysis contained in the attached report indicate the need to trip reactor coolant pumps within approximately 10 minutes for a small subset of small break LOCA's.
In response to Long Term Action Item 1 of IE Bulletin 79-06C, we consider it premature to propose a design for auto-matic tripping of RCPs.
The bases for this conclusion are:
(1)
Best Estimate calculations with both HPSI pumps show no need for pump tripping.
(2)
Analytical modeling of these events is evolving and may alter conclusions.
(3)
The identified small breaks of concern represent a small subset of the entire break spectrum.
{4)
Other design alternates exist to provide equivalent core protection.
It is judged that the guidelines provided in response to Bulletin Item 3 provide adequate core protection.
Me will continue to closely monitor all developments on this subject so that these guidelines continue to ensure safe plant operation.
