4.3 - Core Design Limits

  • Cycles are designed to meet constraints and requirements

- Energy output and burnup

- Enrichment limits, zoning, and gadolinia loading

  • Core design limits are verified for each cycle to confirm the safety analysis bases and ensure specified acceptable fuel design limits (SAFDLs) are not exceeded

- Moderator temperature and Doppler reactivity coefficients

- Kinetics parameters

- Critical and refueling boron concentration

- Axial and radial peaking

- Shutdown margin and long term shutdown capability

- Event-specific limits (i.e. power peaking)

  • Core design limits are set to ensure that sufficiently conservative values are analyzed 18 PM-0419-65096

4.3 - Core Power Distributions

  • Power distributions are protected by monitoring to ensure that limits are not exceeded during normal operation
  • Control rod assemblies (CRAs) are arranged into regulating and shutdown banks
  • The power dependent insertion limits (POils) and axial offset (AO) window ensure axial and radial peaking are within design limits
  • The NuScale power module is stable with respect to axial and radial xenon imbalances due to small core size, H/D ratio 225 I I I I I I I Axial Offset Window l

4.3 - Shutdown Margin

- The instantaneous amount of reactivity by which the reactor is subcritical, or would be subcritical from its present condition , assuming all CRAs are fully inserted with the worst CRA assumed stuck out of the core.

- Power defect, temperature defect to hot zero power, margin for uncertainties, WRSO, no boration

  • Long Term Shutdown (LTSD)

- The instantaneous amount of reactivity by which the reactor is subcritical , or would be subcritical from its present condition , assuming all CRAs are fully inserted and the RCS is cooled to equilibrium conditions.

- Power defect, temperature defect to pool temperature, margin for uncertainties, all rods in , no boration

  • Distinct definitions for SOM and LTSD establish the design basis and satisfy GDC 26 and PDC 27

- Acceptability of design basis is demonstrated in DCA Chapter 15 analyses 20 PM-0419-65096 Revision : 0 Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC .
