ABSTRACT Phase II Testing is performed on the CPC/CEAC System to (1)

. verify that the CPC and CEAC software modifications have been properly integrated with CPC and CEAC software and system

. hardware; (2) provide confirmation that the static and dynamic operation of the integrated system as modified is consistent with that predicted by design analysis.

This supplement describes the results and resolutions of the open items which were identified in the Waterford 3, Cycle 1 CPC/CEAC Phase II Software Verification Test Report (Reference 1).

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The verification process for the CPC/CEAC software implementation includes Phase I and Phase II Testings (Reference 2). Phase I testing verifies the correct implementation of the software. Phase II testing verifies that the integrated CPC system, software including hardware, responds as expected.' The Phase I and Phase II testings are described in

, References 1 and 3.

In Reference 1, three of the test cases in Dynamic Software Verification Test (DSVT), had test results that fell outside the acceptance criteria.

This supplement describes the analyses performed to show the Waterford-3 CPC/CEAC System Software (Rev. 00) is acceptable for plant safety operation.

2.0 DYNAMIC SOFTWARE VERIFICATION TEST The Dynamic Software Verification Test (DSVT) is a real time exercise of the CPC application software and executive software with transient CPC input values read from a storage device. The same CPC input values (test case) are executed on the Single Channel CPC and the certified CPC/CEAC FORTRAN simulation code. Acceptance criteria for DSVT are defined (in Reference 2) as a trip time and initial values of DNBR and LPD for each test case. The trip time and initial values of DNBR and LPD calculated by the CPC/CEAC FORTRAN simulation code, with the processing uncertainties factored in, will provide an acceptance range for the Single Channel CPC results.

2.1 FLOW TRANSIENTS In Reference 1, the time-to-DNBR trip observed on the Single Channel CPC

The Single Channel CPC results are in agreement with the FORTRAN simulation code results. It is concluded that no software errors were identified.

SUMMARY

All the test results from the Phase II testing have been evaluated and it is concluded no safety concern exists. The only discrepancy in the software implementation is related to the penalty factors when both CEACs -

, fail. Under these conditions, plant protection function of the CPC is maintained in the DNBR calculation, therefore the present software (Rev.

- 00) is acceptable for operation.
