OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT RELOAD CORE METHODOLOGY OVERVIEW

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Analyses done to license reload cores for Fort Calhoun Station consist of the analys: i performed by the Omaha Public Power Olstrict and the analysis performed by the nu lear fuel vendor The current nuclear fuel vendor is Westinghouse Electric Corporation (W); h iwever, future reload fuel may be potentially supplied by any of the four U.S. PWR nuclear fu l vendors:

Advanced Nuclear Fuels Corp. gANF), ABB Combustion Engineering (CE), Westinghc ase, or Babcock and Wilcox. The following sections discuss the reload analyses and consc :idate information about the District's methodology previously submitted.

2.0 FUEL SYSTEM DESIGN The fuel assembly mechanical design and analysis are performed by the nuclear fue vendor.

The fuel mechanical design and design methods utilized for Fort Calhoun Station by Westinghouse are describea in Reference 2-1. Combust!on Engineering, the co-res dent fuel in the m!xed core, fuel mechanical design and design methods are discuased in Ref rences 2-2 and 2-3.

In an effort to furtner reduce the neutron flux to the reactor vessel welds, full length H. fnium flux suppression rods, which are similar to the part length poison rods utilized in Cycle 1f , will be incorporated into the fuel loading pattern. The poison rods are composed of hafnion metal over the full length of the active fuel. Inert material comprises tne balance of the rod They will reside in the uuter guide tubes of quarter core assembly numbers 1,2 and 8 The f el system design will also incorporate four natural uranium fuel assemblies in quarter core loca ion number 14 for additional neutron flux reduction to the critical welds.

3.0 NUCLEAR DESIGN The District's nuclear design methodology is discussed in Reference 3-1.

3.1 Fuel Management The reload core fuel management is performed by the District. Current fuel management schemes are selected to reduce flux to the reactor pressure ve sel welds.

3.0 NUCLEAR DESIGN (Continued) 3.2 Ecwe, D;stribution Menurement The Distnet utikzes the CE methodology (Reference 3-2) to measure the po) er distobutions This methodo!ogy is disctissad in the Cycles 5 and 6 reload s bmittals and approved in the SER's for these fuel cycles (References 3 3 and 3-4) 2.3 Uncettair.ltitL0ttd Ailowances The power distrihyton uncertenties which are included !n the overall analysi of reload cores are:

Entamglel Uncertajry -

3D Peak. Fq 3-D 0.2%

unegrated Radial Peak, F, 60%

Planar Radial Peak. F,y 5.3 %

These values are approved foi ute in CENPD-153-P (Reference 3-5). A mc e detailed discussion of the treatment of uncertainties and allowances can be found in teference 3- 0.

3.4 Physics Safety RejalEQ.Qala The physics tafety related datu are produced using the methodology discus ed in Reference 3-1.

4.0 THERMAL HYDRAUL!C DESIGN 4.1 Sicady State DNBR Analysis Tne steady state DNBR analysis is performed by the District using the TORC /CETOP/CE-1 methodology (References 4-1,4-2,4-3,4-4 and 4-5). This methodology was approved for use by the District in Reference 4-0.

4.1.1 Grid Spacer Loss Coefficients The analysis utihtes a D-TORC model with wpicit representation o the loss coefficients assoated with CE and W Uel assembhes The nomini gnd loss g coeffic.ents used in tr.3rmal hydrauhc analysis are:

[ ] Loss Coefficient (K)

Re a Reynolds Number These values were obtained by Westinghouse using single phase pi esstre drop testing of a Westinghouse test assembly and a typical CE 14 x 14 assembly. Single phase hydraulle loss coefficients, previously trant nitted in Reference 4-7, contained 0 ( ) vhile the values given above are best estimate values. Because of the nonst Aty of DNBR calculations to the difference in spacer grid loss coefficients, he District utillzes the Reynolds number expression for loss coefficients This 6 ovices the most accurate representation of ihe pressure drop across each ! Jacer gnd in the assembly. Tnus, the cross flows between adjacent assemblit iin the region of the spacer grid are accurately modeled.

The spacer gnd geometries for the CE and W spacer gods are show in References 2-2 and 2-1, respectively. The spacer grid envelope fc both the CE and W gods is 8115 inches by 8.115 inches. The axial location 't the CE, W and ANF spacer grids is shown in Figure 4-3.

In D-TORC calcu;ations, tne spacer grid loss coefficient for a chann I corresponds to the assembly type whenever a channel represents a ningle assembly or :, portion of an assembly. The choice of loss coefficier for lumped channels M D-TORC is made such that the minimum flow is arovided to the limiting fue: assembly. The CETOP model employs the spact grid loss coefficient for the limiting assembly calculated in D-TORC. The snit flow fraction of the CETOP model is tuned such that the CETOP model p: iduces conservative results with respect to the D-TORC model which mod s all fuei assemblies.

A 4.0 THERMAL HYDRAULIC DESIGN (Continued) 4.1 Sleady_ State DNBR Analysis (Continued) 4.1.2 CE-1 Correlation The District utilizes the CE-1 correlation for DNBR calculations. The ange of data in the data base for the CE-1 correfetion is contained in Refere ces 4-1 and 4-2. The range of parameters for the CE-1 correlation and cori isponding ranges for the CE and W assemblies are shown in Table 4-1. Becat 3e the data for the W fuel assembly is within the range specified in the CE. drita I base, the use of CE-1 correlation is appropriate for the W fuel.

4.1.3 D-TORC and CETOP Models The District utilizes the D-TORC code (Reference 4-3) and the CET( P code (Reference 4-4) to perform thermal hydraulic analysis for the Fort Ce noun reload core. The fraction of inlet flaw to the hot assembly in the CE' DP model is adjusted such that the model yields appropriate MDNBR results v ten compared with results of D TORC analysis for a given range of opet iting conditions. The traction of inlet flow is determined for each reload c ire. The use of this methodology was approved for use by the District in Reft ence 4-0 The following paragraphs discuss the application of the CETOP cod to the fort Calhoun reactor. Examples are for the Cycle 8 core (which cont inned ANF g and CE fuel types). 5 Thermal margin analysis utilizing the CETOP model is supported by :omparing its predictions for Fort Calhoun Station with those obtained from a di talled TORC analysis. Several operating condttions were arbitrarily select' d for this demonstration, they are representative, but not the complete set, of onditions which would be considered for a normal DNB analysis.

Axtal Power Distribution -0 517 to 4 520 ASI The detailed thermal margin analyses were performed for the sampi. core using the radial power distribution and detailed TORC model shown n Figures 4-4. 4-5. and 4-0 The appropriate spacer grid loss coeff:clent wat applied to each " assembly" channel or partial assembly channel in each stag ( in stage 1, lumped channel 28 utilized the CE spacer pid iosa coefficient be ause the channel was predominantly composed of CE fuel Lumped channel 26 and 27 utilized the ANF spacer grid loss coefficient because either the c: annel was composed of entirely ANF fuel or contained a single CE assembly n t on a boundary between channels. The axial power distr;butions are givet in Figure 4-7. These distributions were the most limiting ones generated for 1 e length of the cycle and for the various power dependent insertion limits ext nined.

The core inlet flow and exit pressure distributions used in Ine analys s were based on the flow model test results given in Figures 4-8 and 4-9. he results of the detailed TORC analyses are given in Table 4 2. The Cycle 14 TORC and CETOP models incorporate the appropdate changes for W fuel . esign parameters. The same methods apply to the mixed CE and W core iat were applied to the CE and ANF mixed core.

The houndary between channels 1 and 2 la open for crossflow; the rema ling outer boundaries of channel 2 are assumed to be impermeable and adiab itic.

Channel 2 includes channels 3 and 4. Channel 3 lumps the subchat ,els adjacent to the MDNBR hot channel 4. The

The CETOP model describid above was applied to the same car,et os the i detailed TORC analyses. The results from the CETOP model analyt is are .

It 'Not found that a constant inlet flow split providing hot assembly inlet mass velocity of [ ] of the core average value is oppropriate for 4-r Jmp operation so that i IDNDR results predicted by the CETOP model are either conservative or actarate for the Cycle 8 core, The uncer1ainties associated with the thermal hyd tulle analysis are combined statistically (Reference 4-8). In this mothod, he impact of component uncertainties on DNBR is assessed and the SAFDL is nereased to include the effects of the uncertaintles.

5,0 POSTULATED ACCIDirNS AND TRANSIENTS The postulated accidents and transients are analyzed using the methodology discus ed in Reference 5-1, 6,0 SETPOINT GENERATION The District uti!!zes the methodology discussed in CENPD-199-P (Reference 6-1) to generate setpoints for Fort Calhoun Station. The District's reactor physics methodology is dis assed in Reference 6-2.

The scram reactivity r.urves are produced using the QUlX code. The power-to-fuel ( ! sign limt!

on centerline melt is derived using the OUlX code with the appropriate combination *, af planar radial peaking factor, F/, and axial power distnbution.

The thermal margin analysis is done using the CETOP code with the appropriate cor o! nations of the integrated racial peaking f actor, FnT , axial power distribution. RCS inlet temoe iture, and RCS pressure.

The fort Calhoun RPS utilizes the " standard" local power density trip and TM/LP trip The 1

sequential CEA withdrawalis analyzed using the methodt described in Reference O- I and not l included in the TM/LP trip considerations. The RCS depressurization event provides he g l transient analysis input into the TM!LP trip 3 l 0.1 incore LCO McIntoring The Better Axial Shapo Selection System (BASSS) monitors the Limi ng I Conaitions for Operation on peak linear heat rate and departure fron nucleate bolling using as input the data available from the MINI-CECOR codi and the plant computer. This arrangement is similar to the one used by Balt: note Gas and Electric at their Calvert Cliffs Units, and described in the Combt .tlon Engineenng Sotpoint Topical (Ref. 6-1),

MINI-CECOR is a plant computer version of Combuetion Engineerin 's CECOR code. It is used in this application to synthesize the followir a parameters from readings of the fixed in core detectors:

1. The three-dimensional power peaking factor (Fq)
2. The core average axial shape index (1)
3. The total planar radial peaking factor (FxyT )
4. The total integrated radial peaking factor ( fnT)

1 BASSS consists of two algorithmm: one for peak linear heat rate mc storing and another for DNB monitoring The peak linear neat rate algorithn uses the 3-D power peaking factor and the measured core power level to coi ulate the core peak linear heat rate. The algorithm applies appropriate uncer tinties and allowances (per the Technical Speelfications) to the 3 D peaking fat or. The measured peak linear heat rate is compared to the monitoring limit, rhich is based on both LOCA and AOO transient analysis considerations ar 1 an alarm is activated when the monitoring limit is exceeded. The power oper ting limit on linear heat rate is also calculated and displayed as an indication af the available operating margin. The DNB algorithm is an improvement ( ser the excore ASI monitoring system in that it uses in-core axial shape ind< x, CEA group position and the radial peaking factors to establish the plant's power operating limit An alarm is activated when the power operating limi is exceeded. A gain in operating margin results from the following:

1. A reduction in ASI uncertainty due to the use of in-core ASI vers' s ex-core ASI.

2. Knowledge of the actual CEA group position versue, the ex-core system's assumption that the CEAs are inserted to the PDIL's transient insertir a limit. 'I
3. Knowledge of the actual radial peding factors versus the ex-co e system's assumptions that radial peaks are at the Technical Speelfu 3 tion limits.

BASSS is also provided with the capability to rnonitor the Lim! ting Condition for Operation on F nT and F,T. If the Technical Specification for Operation on ,y i or F,T are exceeded during normal plant operation, BASSS will activate an alarm a d calculate the proper trade-off with maximum allowed oower that ensures tha the Axlal Power Distribution and Thermal Margin / Low Pressure Trips remain conservat /e. An alarm is activated if the measured power level is higher than the allowed pot er level.

6.2 Uncertainties The uncertainties are treated statistically in the District's setpoint analycis at identified in references 6-1 and 6-3.

7.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT g The core operating limits report (COLR) will be incorporated into the plant Technicai Specifications as part of the Cycle 14 reload license application. The COLR will utili e the guidance provided in Reference 7-1. The reload analysis for Fort Calhoun to gener te the COLR values will utilize the methods described in References 7-2. 7-3 and 7-4. Tt i use of these NRC approved methodologies does not permit substantial discretion on the p; 1 of OPPD and does not require substantial engineering judgement to be utilizeu to deriv the cycle specific parameter limits included in the COLR.
