..n November 16, 1993 Docket No. 52-002-Mr. C. B. Brinkman, Acting Director Nuclear Systens Licensing Combustion Engineering, Inc.

1000 Prospect Mill Road Windsor, Connecticut 06095-0500

Dear Mr. Brinkman:

SUBJECT:

COMMENTS ON TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (TS) FOR SYSTEM'80+ BY REACTOR SYSTEMS BRANCH The Reactor Systems Branch has reviewed the System 80+ TS listed in that were revised and submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in letters dated October 11 and 27, 1993.

The staff's comments are shown on the markup copy of the affected TS provided as Enclosure 2.

Please provide responses to these comments no later than two weeks from your receipt of this letter to allow us to maintain our review schedule.

This affects nine or fewer respondents, and therefore, is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under P.L.96-511.

Sincerely, 5' W y'l kr; -

i CEA Alignment (Dir t m B 3.1.5 BASES APPLICABLE

/\\subgroupcouldbecausedbyanelectricalfailureintheCEA SAFETY ANALYSES go11powerprogrammers.

(continued)

The acceptance criteria for addressing CEA inoperability or misalignment are that there be no violations of:

a.

Specified acceptable fuel design limits:

b.

Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure boundary integrity; and c.

The core must remain subtritical after accident transients.

Three types of misalignment are distinguished.

During movement of a group. one CEA may stop moving while the other rEAs in the group continue.

This condition may cause excessive power peaking.

The second type of misalignment occurs if one CEA fails to insert upon a reactor trip and remains stuck fully withdrawn. This condition requires an evaluation to determine that sufficient reactivity worth is held in the remaining CEAs to meet the SDM requirement with the maximum worth CEA stuck fully withdrawn.

If a CEA 1s stuck in the fully withdrawn position. its worth is added to the SDM requirement. Since the safety analysis does not take two stuck CEAs into account.

The third type of misalignment occurs when one CEA drops partially or fully into the reactor core.

This event causes an initial power reduction followed by a return towards the original power due to positive reactivity feedback from the negative moderator temperature coefficient.

Increased peaking during the power increase may result in excessive local linear heat rates (LHRs).

Two types of analyses are performed in regard to static CEA Rg#

t misalignment (Ref. 4).

BASES BACKGROUND Power distribution is a product of multiple parameters.

(continued) various combinations of which may produce acceptable power distributions.

Operation within the design limits of power distribution is accomplished by generating operating limits on the LHR and departure from nucleate boiling (DNB). [,bM ] aA 7

Proximity to the DNB condition is expressed by,.tne departure from nucleate bolling ratio (DNBR). defined as the ratio of d

the cladding surface heat flux required tof ause DNB to the 3

actual cladding surface heat flux.

The minimum DNBR value during both normal operation and.A00s isfcalculated by the C,

orrelat1on (Ref m2%and corrected for such factors.as

It'is accepted as an appropriate MFrg n to UNB for all operating conditions.

the Core Operating Limit Supervisory System (COLSS) j $and tha core protection calculators (CPCs).

The COLSS and CPCs at monitor the core power distribution are capable of

' 'verif ing that the LHR and the DNBR do not exceed their-C limi s.

The COLSS performs this function by continuously

\\

mo toring the core power distribution and calculating core N

p er operating limits corresponding to the allowable peak N'

HR ond DNBR.

The CPCs perform this function by-c continuously calculating an actual value'of DNBR and local i

bow.'

In design calculations'for a reload core, each batch' of fuel is assigned a penalty applied to the maximum integrated planar radial power peak of the batch. This penalty is correlated with the amount of rod bow determined' from the maximum average assembly burnup of the batch.

A I

single net penalty for the COLSS and CPCs is then determined l'

from the penalties associated with each batch that comprises -

l a core reload. accounting for the offsetting margins due to the lower raolal power peaks in~the higher burnup batches.
