WESTINGHOUSE REVISED THERMAL DESIGN PROCEDURE INSTRUMENT LNCERTAINTY METHODOLOGY (OR NORTHEAST UTILITIES MILLSTONE UNIT 3 I.

INTRODUCTIfN Four operating parameter uncertainties are used in the uncertainty I

analysis' of the Revised Thermal Design Procedure (RTDP). These parameters

]

are Pressurizer. Pressure, Primary Coolant Temperature (T,yg), Reactor Power,.and Reactor Coolant System Flow. They are frequently monitored and j

several are used for control purposes.

Reactor. power is monitored by the.

performance of a secondary side heat balance (power calorimetric) once

~

every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

RCS flow is monitored by the performance of a precision

. flow calorimetric at the beginning of each cycle. _ The' RCS Cold Leg I'

taps are. normalized against the-precision calorimetric and used C ri,y surveillance (with a small increase in uncertainty).' Pressuri*

essure is a controlled parameter and the uncertainty reflects the cor-system.. T,yg is.a controlled parameter via the temperature inp a to the rod (control' system and the uncertainty reflects this control system.

(

Westingnouse has been involved with the development of several techniques to treat instrumentation uncertainties. ~An early version (for D. C. Cook 2 and Trojan) used the methodology outlined in WCAP-8567 " Improved Thermal

)

Design Procedure",(1,2,3F which is based on the conservative assumption i

that.the uncertainties can be described with. uniform probability distributions. Another approach (for McGuire and Catawba) is based.on the more realistic assumption.that the uncertainties can be described with random, normal, two sided probability distributions.(4) This approach

.is used-to substantiate the acceptability of the protection' system

.setpoints for many Westinghouse' plants, e.g., D. C. Cook 2(5), V. C.

Summer, Wolf Creek, and others.

The second approach is now utilized for

{

}

the determination of.all instrumentation errors for both RTDP parameters

[

and. protection functions.

L i

,i IIe-METHODOLOGY i

The methodology used to combine the error components for a channel'is the square root of the sum of the squares of those groups of components, which are statistically independent. Those errors that are dependent arti i

combined arithmetica11y into independent groups, which are then systematically combined. The uncertainties used'are considered to be l

random, two sided distributions, The sum of both sides is equai to the range for that parameter, e.g., Rack Drift is typically

(-

]+a,c, the range for this parameter is [

]+a,c,

~

This te:hnique has been utilized before as noted above, and has been-

. endorsed by the NRC staff (6,7,8,9) and various industry

. standards (10,ll),

The relationships between the error components and the channel instrument error allowance are variations of the basic Westinghouse Setpoint

' Methodology (12) and are defined as follows:

A more detailed explanation of the Westinghouse methodology noting the

. interaction of several. parameters is provided in references 5 and 12.

III.-. Instrumentation hcertainties 3

The instrumentation uncertainties will be discussed first for the two parameters.which are controlled by automatic systems, Pressurizer 4

Pressure, and Tavg (through Rod Control).

1, PRESSURIZER PRESSURE Pressurizer Pressure is controlled by comparison of the measured vapor space pressure and a reference value. Allowances are made for the transmitter and the process racks / controller. As noted on Table 1(a) for a Veritrak transmitter, the electronics-uncertainty for this. function is

[

]+a,c which corresponds to an accuracy of.[

'-]+a,c.

In addition to the controller accuracy, an allowance is made for pressure overshoot or undershoot due to the interaction and thermal inertia of the heaters and. spray.

Based on an evaluation of ' plant operatio'n, an allowance of [

-]+a,c was made for this.effect.

Therefo're, a total control system uncertainty of:[

]+a,c is calculated, which results in a standard deviation of [

]+a,c

'(assuming a normal, two sided probability distribution).

The total uncertainty for a Rosemount transmitter is (

)+a,c as shown'on Table 1(b), resulting in a' standard deviation of [

T is controlled by a system that compares the auctioneered high ayg T

from the loops with a reference, usually derived from the First avg Stage Turbine Impulse Chamber Pressure. T is the average of the avg narrow range TH and TC values. The highest loop T is then used avg in the controller. Allowances are made (as noted on Table 2) for the RTDs, transmitter and the process racks / controller. The CSA for this function is dependent on the type of RTD, pressure transmitter, and the location of the RTDs, i.e., in the RTD bypass manifold or in the Hot and Cold Legs. Based on the assumption that 3 Ty and 1 TC cross calibrated Weed RTDs are used to calculate T and the RTDs are ayg

. located in the Hot and Cold legs, the CSA for the electronics is

(

)+a,c.

Assuming a normal, two sided probability distribution results in an electronics standard deviation (si) of

[.

)+a,c, 0

However, this does not include the controller deadband of i 1.5 F

The controller accuracy is the combination of the instrumentation accuracy and the'deadband. The probability distribution.for the deadband has been determined to be (

).+a,c The variance for the deadband uncertainty is then:

C These measurements and calculations are presented schematically on Figure 1.

Four calculations have been done; one set of calculations is for four loop operation and one set is for three loop operation, and each set includes calculations for Veritrak and Rosemount pressurizer pressure transmitters. The derivation of the measurement errors and flow 4

uncertainties on Table 5 are noted below.

I Secondary Side The secondary side uncertainties are in four principal areas, feedwater

. flow, Feedwater enthalpy, Steam enthalpy and RCP heat addition. These j

four areas are specifically identified on Tables Sa, b, c and d.

For the nessurement of feedwater flow, each Feedwater venturi is calibrated by.the vendor in a hydraulics laboratory under controlled conditionstoanaccuracyof_(

]?a,b,c.

The calibration i

data which substantiates this accuracy is provided to the plant by the t,

vendor.. An additional uncertainty factor of (

]+a,c is l

i included for installation effects, resulting in a conservative overall-flow coefficient (K) uncertainty of (

]+a,c, :Since RCS. loop flow is proportional _to Steam Generator thermal output which is j.

proportionalito feedwater flow, the flow coefficient uncertainty is expressed as (

)+a,c.

It.should be noted.that no allowance

' is made for venturi fouling. The venturis should be inspected, and cleaned if necessary. prior to performance of the precision measurement.

- If fouling is-present but not removed, it's effects must be treated as a flow bias..

The uncertainty applied to _the-Feedwater venturi thermal expansion correction (F )'is based on the uncertainties of the measured Feedwater a

. temperature and the coefficient of thermal expansion for the venturi

t-t material, usually 304 stainless steel for this material, a change of l

t i 1 'F ih the nominal Feedwater temperature range changes F, by t

1 0.002 % and the Steam Generator thermal' output by the same amount.

i

/

An uncertainty in F of i 5 % for 304 stainless steel is used in this a

analysis. This results in an additional uncertainty of [

)+a,c in Feedwater flow. Westinghouse uses the conservative value of [

l

)+a,c, i

Using the 1967 ASME Steam Tables it is possible to determine the sensitivities of various parameters to changes in Feedwater temperature and pressure. Tables 3a, b, e and d notes the instrument uncertainties for'the hardware used to perform the measurements. Tables 4a, b, e and d lists the various sensitivities. As can be seen on Table 4, Feedwater temperature uncertainties have an impact on venturi F, Feedvater a

density and.Feedwater.enthalpy.

Feedwater pressure uncertainties impact Feedwater density and Feedwater enthalpy.

l i

Feedwater venturi d/p uncertainties are converted to t Feedwater flow using the following conversion factor:

% flow - (d/p uncertainty)(1/2)(transmitter span /100)2 The Feedwater flow transmitter span is.[

)+ac of nominal flow.

'Using the 1967 ASME Steam Tables again, it-is possible to determine the sensitivity.of Steam enthalpy to changes in Steam pressure and Steam quality. Table 3 notes the uncertainty in Steam pressure and Table 4

=f provides the sensitivity.

For Steam quality, the Steam Tables were used to determine the sensitivity at a moisture content of [

)+a,c.This

[

value. is noted on Table 4; The net pump heat uncertainty is derived from the combination of the primary system net heat losses and pump. heat addition and are summarized 1

for a fourLloop plant as follows:

l 1

System heat losses

-2.0 MWt Component conduction and convection losses

-1.4 Pump heat adder ilLQ Net Heat input to RCS

+10.6 MWt The uncertainty on system heat losses, which is essentially all due to charging and letdown flows, has been estimated to be [

]+a,c of the calculated value. Since direct measurements are not possible, the uncertainty on component conduction and convection losses has been assumed tobe[

)+a,c of the calculated value.

Reactor coolant pump hydraulics are known to a relatively high confidence level, supported by system hydraulics tests performed at Prairie Island II and by input power menurements from several plants, therefore, the uncertainty for the pump

'heatadditionisestimatedto've(

)+a,c of the best estimate value.

y Considering these parameters as one quantity, which is designated the net pump heat uncertainty,- the combined uncertainties are less than

[

]+a,c of the total, which is [

]+a.c of core power.

Primary Side The primary side uncertainties are in three principal areas, Hot leg c

enthalpy; Cold leg enthalpy and Cold Leg specific volume. These are specifically noted on Table 5.

Three primary side parameters are actually measured, T, TC and Pressurizer pressure. Hot leg enthalpy is H

influenced by T, Pressurizer pressure and Hot leg temperature streaming.

H The uncertainties for the instrumentation are noted:on Table 3 and the sensitivities are provided on Table 4.

The Hot leg streaming is split into random and bias-(systematic). components.

For Fii11 stone 3 with RTDs located lin thermowells (bypass manifolds eliminated), the streaming uncertainty is,

(-

]+a,c random and [

]+a,c systematic.

4 I

The Cold Log Cnthalpy and specific volume uncertainties are impacted by TC instrument uncertainty and-and Pressurizer pressure. Table 3 notes the TC Table 4 provides the sensitivities.

Noted on Table 5 is the plant specific RTD cross-calibration systematic allowance. When necessary, an allowance is made for a systematic temperature orror due to the.RTD cross-calibration procedure. No allowance was necessary

'for this plant.

Parameter dependent effects are identified on Table 5.

Westinghouse has determined the dependent sets in the calculation and the direction of.

.i'nteraction, i.e., whether components in a dependent set are additive or subtractive with respect to a conservative calculation of RCS flow. The same work was performed for the instrument bias. values. As a result, the calculation explicitly accounts for dependent effects and biases with credit takenfor. sign (or-direction-ofimpact).

Using Table 5a (most conservative value), the 4 loop uncertainty equation (with biases) is as follows:-

As noted earlier,:the precision flow calorimetric is used as the reference'for the normalization of the Cold Leg elbow taps.

Assuming that the elbow tap d/p

-transmitters are used to feed the plant process computer, it is a simple matter j

to perform Technical Specification required su,,eillance.

Tables 6a, b,- c and d note the instrument uncertainties for normalization of the elbow taps, assuming one elbow tap per-loop. The d/p transmitter uncertainties are converted to % flow on the same basis as the Feedwater venturi d/p, The ' elbow tap-uncertainty'is then combined with the precision flow calorimetric uncertainty.

This combination of uncertainties results in the following total flow uncertainty for four loop operation:

4.1 = Reactor Power 1 Generally a plant performs a primary / secondary side heat balance once

- every 24 h'ours when power is above 15% Rated Thermal Power. This heat-balance is-_used to verify that the plant is operating within the limits L

of the Operating License and to adjust the Power Range Neutron Flux channels when the difference between the NIS and the heat balance is

. greater. than that required by the plant Technical Specifications, n

Assuming that the primary and secondary sides are in equilibrium; the i

core power is determined by summing the thermal output of the steam generators, correcting ~ the total secondary power for Steam Generator blowdown (if not secured), subtracting-the RCP heat addition, adding the, primary side-system losses, and dividing by the core rated Btu /hr i

.above) it fisf assumed that the' plant is at 100% RTP when the measurement -

'different uncertainty values.

However, operation at-lower power levels..

-results in increased margin to DNB far in excess ofLany margin losses

.due.to: increased. measurement uncertainty.

The secondary. side power calorimetric equations and effects are the

same as those noted for the precision flow calorimetric :(secondary side

portion)', equations 6 and 7.

The measurements and calculations are r

presented schematically on Figure 2.

Tables ~ 7a and b provides the

= instrument uncertainties for those measurements performed.

Since it is necessary to make this-determination daily, the plant process computer is used for the measurements. The sensitivities calculated are the-

- same as those noted for the secondary side on Table 4.

As noted on Table 8a and b, Westinghouse has determined the dependent sets in the calculation and the direction of interaction.

This is the same as that performed for the RCS flow calorimetric, but applicable only to power.-

The'same was performed. for the bias values noted.

It should be noted that Westinghous'e does not include any allowance for Feedwater venturi fouling. The effect of fouling is to result in an indicated power

~

~

- higher than-actual, which is conservative.

Using the power uncertainty values noted on Table 8a, the 4 loop
