1. INTRODUCTION AND SDefARY This report justifies the operation of the eighth cycle of Oconee Nuclear Station, Unit 1, at the rated core power of 2568 MWt. Included are the re-

. quired analyses as oytlined in the USNRC document " Guidance for Proposed License Anendments Relating to Refueling," June 1975.

To support cycle 8 operation of Oconee 1, this report employs analytical tech-niques and design bases established in reports that have been submitted to and accapted by the USNR0 and its predecessor (see references).

A brief summary of cycle 7 and 3 reactor parameters related to power capability is included in section 5 of this report. All of the accidents analyzed in the FSAR I have been reviewed for cycle 8 operation. In those cases where cycle 8 characteristics were conserweive' compared to those analyzed for previous cy-cles, no new accident analyse. vere performed.

Five of the fresh batch 10 asseublies are gadolinia lead test assemblies (LTA).

These assemblies are part of a joint Duke Power /3abcock & 'Jilcox (3&*J)/ Depart ,

ment of Energy program to develop and demonstrate an advanced fuel assembly design incorporating UO2 -Gd2 03 for extended burnup in 7WRs. Reference 2 de-scribes the L"As. your Mark 3Z demonstration fuel assemblies containing Zir-l caloy-4 intermediate spacer grids will be reinserted for a second cycle of irradiation. The Mark 3Z assemblies are described in reference 3. The gado-linia LTAs and the Mark 3Z assemblies will not adversely affect cycle 8 opera-l tion.

l The Technical Specifications have been reviewed, and the modifications required for cycle 8 operation are justified in this report.

3ased on the analyses performed, which account for the postulated effects of fuel densification and the final acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling syste=s, it has been concluded that Oconee Unit 1 can be operated safely for' cycle 8 at the rated power level of 2568 MWt.

2. OPERATING HISTORY The reference fuel cycle for the nuclear and ther:nal-hydraulic analyses of Oconee 1, cycle S,is the currently operating cycle 7. The cycle 8 design length of 410 EFFD is based on a planned cycle 7 length of 4 0 EFFD. No op-erating anomalias have occurred during previous cycle operations that would adversely affect fuel performance in cycle S.

3. GENERAL DESCRI?TICN The Oconee Unit i reactor core and fuel design basis are described in detail in section 3 of the Final Safety Analysis Report for Ococee Nuclear Station.

Unit 1.1 The cycle 8 core contains 177-fuel assemblies, eac's of which is a 15-by-15 array of 208 fuel rods,16 control rod guide tubes, arid one 1 score instrument guide tube. The fuel consists of dished-end, cylisc'rical pellets ,

of uranium dioxide clad in cold-worked Zircalcy-4. ne stand. Mark 3 feel assemblies in all bacches have an average fuel loading of 463. '3 of uranium.

The undensified active fuel lengths, theoretical densi':iss, fv41 and fuel rod dimensions, and other related fuel parameters are g:,vii la Tables 4-1 and 4-2.

Figure 3-1 is the core leading diagram for Oconee 1, cycle 8. The twent.7 batch SA and four of the batch 83 assemblies vill be discharged at the end of cycle 7, along with forty batch 73 and one batch 4E assembly. The rema%1ng 44 batch 8 assemblies (designated SC) and the fresh batch 10C - with initic.1 enrichments of 3.07 and 3.41 we : 2s sU respectively - will be loaded into the central portion of the core. There are also five fresh batch 10 gado11sia LTAs 2 in the core interior. The center assembly, batch 10A, has an initial enrichment of 2.46 vt : 2 sC; the four batch 103 LTAs, with an initial enrich-ment of 4.00 vt : 2 sU are in locations symmetrical to H13. The batch 9 fuel, with an initial enrichment of 3.28 we : a ssU, will mainly occupy the core pe-riphery. Figure 3-2 is an eighth-core map showing the assembly burnup and en-richment distribution at the beginning of cycle 8.

Reactivity is controlled by 51 full-length Ag-In-Cd control rods, 60 burnable i poison red assemblies (3PRAs), and soluble boren shim. In addition to the full-length control rods, eight axial power shaping rods (APSRs) are provided fer additional control of the axial power distribution. The cycle 8 locations of the 69 control rods and the group designations are indicated in Figure 3-3.

The core locations are identical to those of the reference cycle. *he cycle 8 locacicus and concentrations of the 3PRAs are shown in Figure 3-4 3-1 Babcock & Wilcox

4. FL'EL SYSTIM DESIGN 4.1. Fuel Assembiv Mechanical Design The types of fuel assemblies and pertinent fuel design parameters for Oconee 1, cycle 3 are lis'ted in Table 4-1. All the fuel assemblies are mechanically interchangeable. Tour once-burned Mark 32 fuel assemblies are included in batch 95. The Mk 3Z uses Zircaloy as the material for the six intermediate spacer grids. The Mark 3Z assembly is dese 1 bed in reference 3, which de.non-strates that reacecr safety and performance are not adverseiy affected by ths-presence of the four demonstration assemblies.

The five fuel assemblies in batches 10A and 103 are gadolinia LTAs. The me-chanical design of the LTAs is described in reference 2. -

Retainer asse=blies will be used on the two fuel assemblies that contain re-generative neutron source (355) assemblies and on the 60 batch 10C assemblies that contain 3PRAs. The justification for the design and use of the retainers is described in references 4 and 5.

4.2. Fuel Rod Design The mechanical evaluation of the fuel rod is discussed below.

4.2.1. Cladding Collapse The fuel assemblies of batch SC are more limiting than those of other batches because of their longer previous incere exposure time. The power history and fuel design parameters for the most limiting batch SC fuel assembly were com-pared with those used in the generic Mk-B creep collapse analysis and were found to be enveloped. The generic analysis was based on the methods and pro-cedures described in reference 6 and is applicable to the batch 8C fuel design.

The generic analysis predicts a collapse time of more than 35,000 E7PH, which exceeds the maximum projected residence time of 29112 E7?H (Table 4-1).

4-1 Babcock & Wilcox

l A detailed creep analysis was perfor=ed en the gadolinia bearing fuel rods in the LTAs. The collapse time for these rods was greater than the max 1=um pro-jected residence time.

4.2.2. Cladding Stress The stress parameters for the Oconee i standard fuel rods and the gadolinia bearing fuel rods are enveloped by a conservative fuel rod stress analysis.

The following four assumptions were used in this analysis:

1. A lower post-densification internal pressure.

j

2. A lower initial pellet density. " '

l

3. A bigher system pressure.
4. A higher thermal gradient acrees the cladding.

For design evaluation, the primary membrane stress must be less than two-thirds of the mini:mun specified unirradiated yield strength, and all stresses (primary and secondary) must be less then the sini=us specified unirradiated yield strength. In all cases, tne margin is in excess of 30%.

4.2.3. Cladding Strain '

~

The fuel design criteria specify that the cladding average circumferential strain is not to exceed 1.0: inelastic strain. The pellet design is estab-lished for plastic cladding strain of less than 1% at maximum design local pellet burnup and heat generation race values that are higher than the values the Oconee 1 CO 2 fuel is expected to see. Strain analysis of the gadolinia fuel showed that the calculated strains for these rods are also below design limits.

i Thus, fuel red cladding strain will not affect cycle 8 fuel perfor-mance.

4.3. Thermal Desien

{ All fuel in the cycle 8 cora is ther= ally similar except the five LIAs. The fresh batch 10C fuel insertad for cycle 8 operation introduces no significant differences in fuel thermal performance ralative to the fuel remaining in the core. The fresh batch 10A and 10B fuel containing the gadolinia LIA demonstra-tien assemblies have different fuel performance characteristics, but are not

! more limiting than the re=ainder of the' core.

The cycle 8 thermal analyses represent a change in analytical method in that the fresh batches of fuel have been analyzed with the IACO27 code using the i

nethodology described in" reference S. As shown in Table 4-2, the analysis e

utas necinal undensif:.ed input para =eters. The TACO 2 code densification model accounts for densification effects. TACO 2 analyses also apply to reinserted I

batch SC and 9 inel sface this fuel is identical in design to batch 10C.

Results of the thermal design evaluation for .he cycle 8 core are summarized in Table 4-2. The TACO 2 fuel performance code was used to determi=e linear heat rate to melt capabilities for batch SC, 9, and 10 fuel (95*. TD nomiaal initial density). Maximum linear heat race to centerline =elt was determined as a function of fuel burnup. The lowest maximum linear heat race was 20.5 kW/ f t for 8C, 9, and 10C bacches of fuel. The lowest maximum linear heat race for the batch 10A and 10B LTA gadolinia fuel i$ 17.6 kW/ft. ,

The maximum fuel rod burnup at EOC 8 is predicted to be 40,233 MEd/stU. Fuel

, t red internal pressure was evaluated with the TACO 2 computer code for thc/aigh-est burnup fuel rod and is. predicted to be less than the ne=inal RC systa=-

pressure of 2000 psia. ,

e 4.4 Material Design The batch 10 fuel asse=blies are not new 'in concept, nor do they still:e dif-ferent component.=aterials, except for the Zircaloy grids of the four Mark 3Z asse=blies and the UO. -Gd.0, pellets in the LTAs. Thereftre, the chemical co=-

patibility of all possible fuel-cladding--coolant-assembly in5eractions for the batch 10 fue14 assemblies is acceptable.

4.5. Oseratine Exeerience / ,sy ,

, t 36W operating experience with thr4 Mark 3'15-by-15 fuel assembly has verified the adequacy cf its design. As of October 31,,1982, the following experience

5. NUCLEAR DESIGN 5.1. Physics Characteristics Table 5-1 compares the core physics parameters of design cycle S vich those of the reference cycle 7. The values for both cycles were generated using Because of its shorter length, the average cycle 8 burnup will

~

FDQ07'~11 be lower than that of design cycle 7. Figure 5-1 illustrates a representa-tive relative power distribution for the begi=ning of cycle 8 at full power with equilibrium xenon and normal red positions.

Since the core has not yet reached an equilibrium cyc1S, differences in core physics parameters are to be expected between the cycles. The critical boron concentrations for cycle 3 are lower because of the shorter cycle length and the higher average burnable poison enrichment. The control red worths differ between cycles due to changes in radial flux and burnup distributions. Tc.is also accounts for the larger ejected and stuck rod worths in cycle 8 compared to cycle 7 values. Calculated ejected rod worths and their adherence to cri-teria are considered at all times in life and at all power levels in the de-velopment of the rod position limits presented in sectica 3. These red worths

=eet all safety criteria. The adequacy of the shutdown nargin with cycle 3 stuck red worths is demonstrated in Table 3-2. The following assu=ptions were applied for the shutdown calculations:

1. poison =aterial depletion allevance.
2. 10: uncertainty on net red worth.
3. Flux redistribution penalty.

Flux redistribution was accounted for since the shutdown analysis was calcu-laced using a two-dimensional model. The reference fuel cycle shutdown margin is presented in the reload report for Oconee 1, cycle 7 11 The cycle 8 power deficits, differential boren worths, and effective delayed centren fractions differ from those for cycle 7 because of the shorter cycle length and lower critical boren concentrations.

5.2. Analvtical Inou:

The constants used to compute core power distributions from incere detector measurements were obtained in the same nanner for cycle 8 as for the reference cycle 7. The monitoring of power discributions in the LTAs is discussed in reference 2.

5.3. Changes in Nuclear Design There are five fresh fuel assemblies, with 12 gadolinia fuel pins each, that are fully described in reference 2. Their effect on the core design is not significant, because the cycle 8 design nests all criteria including thosa applicable to radial power peaking, ejected rod' worths, and shutdown nargin.

7. ACCIDENT AND TRANSIINT ANALYSIS 7.1. General Safety Analvsis Each FSARI accident analysis has been examined with respect to changes in cycle 8 parameters to determine the effect of the cycle 8 reload and to en-sure that thermal performance during hypothetical transients is not degraded.

The effects of fuel densification on the FSAR accident results have been eval-usted and are reported in 3AW-1388." Since batch 10 reload fuel assemblies contain fuel rods with higher theoretical density than those considered in the reference 13 report, the conclusions in that reference are still valid.

7.2. Accident Evaluation The key parameters in determining the outcoms of a transient can typically be classified in three rrjor areas: core thermal parameters, thermal-hydraulic parameters, and kinetics pararecers, including the reactivity feedback coeffi-cients and control rod wor.hs.

Core ther=al properties used in the FSAR accident analysis were design operat-ing values based on calculational values plus uncertainties. Fuel thermal analysis values for each batch in cycle 8 are compared in Table 4-2. The cycle 8 thermal-hydraulic * * *"* design conditions are compared to the pre-vious cycle 7 values in Table 6-1. These parameters are common to all of the accidents considered in this report. The key kinetics parameters from the

?SAR and cycle 8 are compared in Table 7-1.

A generic LOCA analysis for the 36W 177-FA, lowered-loop NSS has been performed using the final acceptance criteria ECCS evaluation model. This study is re-ported in SAW-10103. Rev. 1." The analysis in 3AW-10103 is generic since the limiting values of key parameters for all plants in this category were used.

Furthermore, the combination of average fuel te=perature as a function of LER and the lifetime pin pressure data used in the BAW-10103 LOCA limits analysis is conservative compared to those calculated for this reload. Thus, the 7-1 Babcock & Wilcox

analysis and :he LOCA limi:s reported in 3AW-10103 provida conservative resul:s for the operation of Oconee 1, cycle a fuel.

Table 7-2 shows the bounding values for allowable LOCA peak L3Rs for Oconee 1, cycle 8 fuel after 50 EFFD. The LOCA kW/ft limits have been reduced for the first 50 E7FDs in order to account for mechanistic fuel densification. The i

redue:1on will ensure that conservative limits are maintained while a transi '

tion is being made in the performance codes that provide input to the ECCS analysis:s. The reduced limits for the first 50 EFFD are shown in Table 7-3.

~

The Oconee 1, cycle 8 core contains four Mark 3Z demonstration assemblies and five gadolinia LTAs. As a result of material and geometrical differences, these nine assemblies have LOCA kW/f: limits that are lower in some cases :han the standard Mark 3 h t:s. 3och the Mark 3Z assemblies and LTAs are being loaded in the core in a manner to ensure that there is sufficient margin to offset any negative impact on the LOCA kW/f: limits.

It is concluded frem the examination of cycle 8 core thermal and kinetics properties, with respect :o acceptable previous cycle values, that this core reload will not adversely affect the ability of the Oconee 1 plant to operate safely during cycle 8. Considering the previously accepted design basis used in the FSAR and subsequent cycles, the transient evaluation of cycle 8 is con-sidered to be bounded by previously accepted analyses. The ini:ial condi: ions for the transients in cycle 8 are bounded by the FSAR 1, the fuel densification repor:13, and/or subsequent cycle analyses.

The radiological dose consequences of the acciden:s presented in chapter 15 of the FSAR were recalculated using the specific parameters applicable :o cycle 8. The bases used in the dose calculations are identical ec : hose in the FSAR except that updated dose conversion factors were used. The use of the updated dose conversion factors resul:ed in reduced whole body dose values. l

! Table 7-4 compares the revised FSAR dose values with those calculated specifi-cally for cycle 8. As can be seen from the table, some cycle 8. doses vary slightly from the FSAR values. However, all cycle 8 doses are either bounded  !

by the values presented in the FSAR or are a small frac:1on of the 10 CFR 100 l limits, i.e. below 30 REM :o che thyroid or 2.5 REM to the whole body. Thus, the radiological impact of the accidents during cycle B are not significantly different than those described in chapter 15 of the FSAR.
