MSLB CALC ENERGY RELEASE ERROR

Description:

Originator: Supv Contacted: Condition

Description:

During the EC 371293 evaluation, an error was discovered in the Unit 1main steam line break outside containment energy release calculation. Withthe Replacement Steam Generators (RSG), Framatome provided the Mass and Energy (M&E) release calculations which were used as input to the Reference 1 RSG containment evaluation and Main Steam (MS) tunnel evaluations in Appendix B of Reference 2. In EC 371293 it was concludedthat the energy release edits used in Reference 2 for Unit 1 were thermodynamic internal energy, not the required edit for enthalpy.The Reference 2 calculation did not document an evaluation for power uprate. The Reference 1 Framatome calculation was analyzed for 102% of3411 MWt down to 30% of 3411 MWt for a steam line break inside containment. B/B units 1 and 2 are currently licensed to 3586.6 MWt.Reference 1 was analyzed to a conservative initial SG pressure of 1131.5psia which covers the current full power pressure. Hot zero power has higher SG pressure and larger initial water inventory in the SG than fullpower which was also not evaluated, although it may be non-limiting for peak steam line tunnel pressure depending on the assumptions used.Therefore, the Reference 2 M&E used for Unit 1 had several items that needre-evaluation and documentation with respect to the current design basisM&E for the short term of a steam line break outside containment.In addition, while comparing M&E tables in the UFSAR with the M&E tablesin Reference 2, it was noticed that the UFSAR Tables 6.2-50 and 6.2-50ahave a typo listing Energy Rate units as "(MBtu/Lbm)" when the valuesshown should have been labeled "(MBtu/sec)."

EC 371293 determined best estimate M&E releases for 3586.6 MWt currentfull power operability under ATI 790428-02. Informed Byron & Braidwood Design Engineering Supervisor and Corporate Design Engineering Supervisorof issue. Byron & Braidwood engineering already had S&L perform an immediate operability evaluation basis under ATI 790428-02 which includedthe EC 371293 corrected M&E tables.Recommended Actions:1.Byron & Braidwood engineering to have Westinghouse or others perform are-constituted calculation to support a corrected M&E input table and main steam line tunnel pressure calculation to replace 3C8-0282-0001 includingpower uprate and hot zero power evaluation.2.Byron & Braidwood regulatory assurance to correct typos in next UFSARupdate for Tables 6.2-50 and 6.2-50a to have Energy Rate units labeled"(MBtu/sec)."3.Byron & Braidwood engineering to perform a DCR type EC for revisions tothe Reference 2 calculations with the new M&Es and power uprateevaluation.What activities, processes, or procedures were involved?Corporate performing of EC 371293 to support ATI 790428-02What are the consequences?Analytical Unit 1 Main Steam tunnel pressure will increase under steamline break conditions when the error is corrected. There is a consequence to revise calculations.List of knowledgeable individuals:Operable Basis:The issues for the calculation error will need to be a ddressed/revised aspart of Operability Evaluation.

The structure is currently operable based on preliminary assessments ofthe available margin for the flood seal covers.In addition EC 371278 has been installed on the U1 Aux feed flood seals to provide additional marginto failure.

Reportable Basis:Does not meet any threshold for reporting.SOC Reviewed by: 07/03/2008 09:31:53 CDTSOC Comments:Braidwood actions are tracked by Braidwood IR 792215 on the same subject.Send to Design Engineering for Action to address the Byron recommended actions in the IR. - ( 7/1) SOC 070308 Reviewed by: 07/02/2008 04:28:28 CDTReviewer Comments:The MSLB calculation errors need to be revised to reflect power uprate andthe station continues to perform EC to improve margin. Operability and reportability have been addressed. Shift review colosed.

  • Action(s): The issue identified in this IR is addressed in Op Eval 07-006, Rev. 3 (EC 366685, Rev. 3). At the time that Rev. 3 of the OpEval was written, it was not clear exactly what actions might need to be taken to resolve the issue. Therefore, CA #11 (ATI 653093-13) was writtento "Determine course of action to align the physical plant and thelicensing basis. (analysis, physical changes, UFSAR/licensing changesetc). Create additional actions as required." The mass & energy release issue identified in this IR 792213) must be resolved as part of theresolution of Op Eval 07-006. I have added the following to the the CAassignment in PassPort, just to be sure: "(Note: Ensure that the Mass &Energy issue in IR 792213 is included.)" Th erefore, no actions arenecessary under this IR (792213). 07/09/08Manager review performed by: 07/14/2008 05:59:45 CDTManager Comments:I have reviewed and approve the evaluation (for actions only).Page 3of 4 Full Action Request Report 8/31/201 7http://eamgenco.ceco.com/cap/servlet/ReportFullARServlet Assign #: 01 AR #: 00792213 Aff Fac: ByronAssign Type:TRKG Status:COMPLETEPriority:Assigned To:Due Date:07/18/2008Schedule Ref:Prim Grp:ACAPALLOrig Due Date:Unit Condition:Sec Grp:
