Docket No. 50-285 Gentlemen:

'In' response to a conversation held with Mr. R. Lobel of your.

staff, the attached discussion documents information previously.

provided in regard to adjustment of the Fort Calhoun. setpoints

, for rod shadowing uncertainties. This information is submitted in support of the Application for Amendment of Facility Operating License, dated July. 17, 1979, which seeks to permit Cycle 6 oper-ation of the Fort Calhoun Station following core reload.

Sincerely, a

W. C. Jones Division Manager Production Operations WCJ/KJM/BJH:jmm

Jd; W n ADJUSTMEN1 0F THE FORT CALHOUN SETPOINTS FOR R00 SHA00WIhG UNCERTAINTIES An' additional: uncertainty has been applied to the Fort Calhoun JA.xial Power Distribution (APD) Limiting Safety System Setting (LSSS)

L .to account for additional uncertainty in calculating the effects of rod shadowing. The. Cycle 6 LSSS APD Technical Specification (Figure

'l-4) was originally. drawn with a slight conservatism and consequently still bounds-theLspecified acceptable fuel design limits for center-

'line melt when the = calculated rodishadowing factors and a conservative

. t.02' Axial Shape Index unit (ASI) uncertainty .is factored into the curve. A conservative factor of +.02 ASI units was removed from the

~

operating margin ~ of the APD curve to .the original APD LSSS calculation.

Rod shadowing is th'e effect of control rods distorting the flux in the peripheral assemblies which are the primary contributor to the signal seen by_ the excore detectors.- The calculations deter-mining Index. (ASI).setpoints Therefore,use the measured the ASI core average axial with the offsetdetectors excore or Axial Shape which are inputs to the setpoints must be adjusted for rod shadow-ing effects. This adjustment of the response from the excore de-tectors was determined to vary between +.012 ASI units to .02 ASI

. units for Cycle 6.

Calculational methods and models (codes) used to determine the

. effects of rod.shadowin'g on the excore detectors are the transport theory code XSDRNPM, PDQ7, and 3D-XTG. XSDRNPM is a one-dimensional code used to determine-the attenuation of signal or flux encountered

when traversing:the water and steel region exterior to the outer assemblies. PDQ7 is used to' determine the attenuation in signal through adjacent assemblies.- The 30-XTG code was used to calculate

.the ASI:in all assemblies and the core average. By using the above calculations to determine the relative effect each assembly has on the excore. detector response, and combining the actual effect with ithe ASI of each assembly, the.excore response of ASI is determined.

' Comparing the calculated excore detector response to the calculated core' average gives the rod shadowing factor. adjustment in the ex-core detector response:reouired for Cycle 6.

g The Cycle 6 Limiting Safety System Setting (LSSS) Axial Power

- . Distribution'(APD) ^ Technical Specification was originally calculated -

1with a conservative +.02 ASI unit rod shadowing factor adjustment cat all. power levels. This rod shadowing factor of +.02 ASI units m -bound theLcalculated rod: shadowing factors of +.012 ASI units to-

~

.02 ASI _ units.- No additional uncertainty was applied to the.

~ calculations. The APD LSSS Technical Specification was originally

. Tdrawn with a slight conservatism and consequently still bounds the

_ calculated dataLwith' uncertainties when the "as calculated" rod-i" - Ushadowing factors and-a conservative +.02 ASI unit uncertainty is P 0 ifactored into the. APD: curve. . The attliched figure shows ~ the' ioriginally-calculated APD. barn with the conservative +.02 rod l shadowing factor :the revised APD curve accounting foi the calculated m s y i ,-
