SUBJECT:
Error in the 48,000 MWD/MTU LOCA-ECCS Analysis for D.C. Cook Unit 1 Ref.:
XN-NF-83-61, "D.C.
Cook Unit 1
LOCA-ECCS Analysis for Extended Exposure,"
August 1983
Dear Mr. Denton:
As discussed in a telephone conversation on March 15, 1985 with Mr. David
- Moran, Mr.
Norm Lauben and Mr. Robert Jones of your staff, an error was discovered which affected the LOCA-ECCS analyses for several PWRs.
The error was in an expression for a multiplier on the heat transfer coefficient used in TOODEE2, which was incorrectly programmed into the code.
TOODEE2 calculates the thermal response (heatup) of the hot fuel rod following the end of the blowdown transient until the core temperature transient is terminated.
The incorrect coding caused the heat transfer coefficient multiplier in TOODEE2 to be 1.045, when it was intended to be 1.0 based on input to the code.
One such analysis affected by this err or was the analysis to support increased burnup from 42.2 MWD/kg to 48.0 MWD/kg in D.C.
Cook Unit 1.
The analyses to support burnup points up to 42.2 MWD/kg were previously reported in XN-NF-81-07 and were done with a version of TOODEE2 which did not contain the error.
ENC has redone the analyses reported in XN-NF-83-61 to support the increased burnup to 48.0 MWD/kg.
The peak clad temperature is calculated with the corrected version of TOODEE2 at 48 MWD/kg to be 1785oF versus the previous value of 1736oF.
The reanalysis verifies that the plant satisfies the 2200oF limit of 10 CFR 50.46.
If there are questions, or if I can be of further help, please contact me.
