4 December 14, 1981 Docket No.50-029 LS05-81 12-038 7

Mr. James A. Kay Senior Engineer - Licensing Yankee Atomic Electric Company 1671 Worcester Road Framingham, Massachusetts 01701

Dear Mr. Kay:

SUBJECT:

YANKEE ROWE - SEP TOPIC XV REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION We have reviewed the topic assessment on the above topic that you submitted on June 30, 1981 and we find that additional infonnation is needed to com-i plate our safety evaluation.

Please provide the requested information within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than ten respondents; therefore, 05 clearance is not required under P.L.96-511.

Sincerely.

Dennis M. Crutchfield, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 5 Division of Licensing I

ENCLOSURE a

' YANKEE R0WE SEP TOPIC XV-7, REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION '

. - 1.

For the complete loss of forced reactor coolant flow (trip of all four pumps) event, 'please provide the calculated minimum DNB ratio.

Also please provide the amount of fuel failure (assuming any fuel rod which has a DNBR less than the minimum allowable DNBR value for Yankee Rowe plant fails) and the estimated radioactive release-

.during the transient. Also, provide. a transient curve of the re-actor coolant system pressure for the limiting event to demonstrate 4

'that,the pea,k. pressure, does not.,ex,ceed,ll.0% of. the system design.,,f,,,

.. pressure,; 1

.s

...,. )..

.,.g 2.

A. qualitative analysis comparing the RCP rotor seizure accident with the RCP shaft break is requested to identify the limiting case-with respect to maximum RCS pressure and limiting fuel performance.

The analysis should assume a loss'of offsite power as a result of turbine trip, the Technical Specification limit of. steam generator tube leak-age and a single active failure in safety systems.

Appropriate delay.

time for loss of offsite power may be assumed if suitably justified.

The evaluation should include tabulations of the sequence of events,-

disposition of normally operating systems, utilization ~ of safety systems and transient curves including RCS pressure and DNBR and.re-actcr coolant flow for the limiting accident.

Confirm that the results of the analysis meet the acceptance criteria for these events per SRP 15.3.3.

Assume any fuel rod which has a DNBR less.than the minimum allowable value for Yankee Rowe fails.

State the amount of failed fuel in the results of the analysis.

Radiological consequences.should be calculated accordingly.
