1.0 INTRODUCTION

LOCA' ECCS analyses presented in XN-NF-77-24(1), XN-NF-78-16(2) and XN-NF-81-34(3) provide portions of the licensing bases (4) for the Palisades reactor. The analyses were performed for operation of the Palisades reactor at 2530 MWt, with 4175 steam generator tubes plugged, with a nominal core inlet temperature of 536.50F, and with a nominal pressurizer pressure of 2060 psia. This document presents the results of sensitivity studies to the XN-NF-78-16 analyses which were performed to determine the impact on the LOCA limits for increased steam generator tube plugging (5000 total tubes plug'ged), increased nominal core inlet temperature (5450F), and increased nominal pressurizer pressure (2150 psia). Results of a large break spectrum analysis were performed in 1977 for.the operation of the Palisades reactor at 2530 MWt and reported in XN-NF-77-24(1). The limiting break was ~ identified to be a guillotine break in the pump discharge lire with a Moody discharge coefficient of 0.6 (the 0.6 DEG/PD break). The analyses were performed for the Exxon Nuclear Company (ENC)~ reload batch E fuel design using the ENC WREM-II PWR Evaluation Model(5,6,7). The linear heat generation rate (LHGR) used in the analysis was 14.68 kw/ft (14.39 kw/ft times a 1.02 multiplier for power uncertainty), corresponding to T a total peaking of 2.64 (F g) with an assembly radial peaking of 1.50 and a local bundle pe_aking of 1.224. The analyses assumed 4175 steam generator  ; tubes were plugged, a 536.50F core inlet temperature and the - pressurizer pressure at 2060 psia. Results were presented in XN-NF-78-16(2) which showed that the allowable LHGR decreased linearly as the axial power peak moved toward the. top of the- - core. For a power shape peaked at 0.6 of core height, the LHGR used in.the I i

2 XN-NF-78-16 Supplement 1 analysis was 15.28 Kw/ft (14.98 kw/ft times a 1.02 multiplier for power T uncertainty), corresponding to a total peaking of 2.76 (F g) with an assembly radial peaking of 1.45 and a local bundle peaking of 1.224. The reduction in assembly radial peaking in the 1977 analysis (l) from 1.50 to the 1.45 value permitted the total peaking to be increased from 2.64 to 2.76. Results of an exposure analysis were presented in XN-NF-81-34(3) which showed that the allowed LHGR limits for the ENC batch H fuel design is reduced at high burnup due to the effects that the higher fission gas releases have on the LOCA response of the fuel rod. High fission gas release resulted in greater ballooning of the fuel rod which resulted in a steam cooling heat transfer penalty during the reflood heatup portion of the LOCA transient. For rod average burnups less than 27.5 MWD /kg, the LHGR limit'used in the analysis remained at the previous limit of 15.28 kw/ft, corresponding to a total peaking l'imit of 2.76. e ~

SUMMARY

Three sensitivity studies have been performed to determine the effect of changed operating conditions in the Palisades reactor on the LOCA response for the ENC reload batch E fuel design. The analyses were performed using the ENC ! WREM-II PWR ECCS Evaluation Model. The analyses considered variations in f i~ operating conditions to those previously reported in XN-NF-78-16(2) for the 0.6 DEG/PD break with the axial peak located at 60 percent of core height and with a peak linear heat generation rate of 15.28 kw/ft. Changes in steady-state operating conditions relative to the base case included:

a. The temperature of the coolant entering the core was increased 8.50F (5450F versus 536.50F).

j b. The pressure in the pressurizer was increased 90 psia (2150 psia versus 2060 psia).

c. ' An additional 825 steam generator = tubes were' plugged (total 5000

[ tubes versus 4175 tubes). Results of the analyses, along.with initial operating conditions, are l given in Table 2.1. Differences in Peak Cladding Temperature (PCT) from the 2 base case (PCT = 20810F)(3) are given. In'all cases the PCT results are within

                      ' limits required by 10 CFR 50.46(8); PCT <22000F, local metal oxidation <17%,                                               _

and core ' average cladding oxidatio'n <1%. . Increasing the number of steam

                                                                    ~

[ . generator tubes l plugged results in an increase in PCT. as does increasing the pressurizer pressure.~ Increasing the-core inlet temperature results in a '

                     - decrease in PCT.-

In general, the' change in PCT ,due' to increased steam generator tube ' plugging and coolant inlet temperature arises from their effect on the~ reflood rate. Increasing the number of steam generator. tubes plugged increases the L e + - . *

With higher coolant inlet temperature, more energy is released to the containment resulting in higher containment pressure which increases the flooding rate because of less steam binding in the primary recirculation , loops during reflood. Peak clad temperature is strongly affected by reflood rate since the water flooding the core must remove the core energy during a-postulated LOCA. The change in PCT with increased pressurizer pressure is due to a change in core thermal hydraulics during blowdown. For the 2150 psia case, the flow in the core was degraded sufficiently to result in poorer heat transfer during blowdown and ultimately a higher PCT. O e N e ---s- --n-- a

The analytical techniques used are in compliance with Appendix K of i (10' CFR 50(8), ' and are as descrthed in XN-75-41, Volumes I and II.- and

l I 7 XN-NF-78 16 l Supplement 1 l i The revised ENC nucleate boiling lockout as described in XN-76-44(7) was also used in the blowdown analysis. The ENC WREM-l! ECCS evaluation model(5,6,7) was used to perform the analyses. The model consists of the following computer codes: GAPEXX(9) code for initial rod stored energy and internal gas inventory; RELAP4-EM(10) for the system blowdown, hot channel blowdown and reflood calculations; CONTEMPT-LT22 as modified in CSB6-1(ll) for computation of containment back pressure; and T000EE2(12) for the calculation of final fuel rod heatup. The reactor coolant system is nodalized into control volumes

       . representing reasonably homogeneous regions, interconnected by flow-paths or
          " junctions". The system nodalization is depicted in Figure 3.1.       The pump performance characteristics of Combustion Engineering pump were used in the analysis (13). Asymetric steam generator tube plugging is assumed such that loop 1 has the greater plugging. The break is assumed to have occurred in the                  !

most highly plugged loop since this results in higher peak clad temperatures. The transient behavior was determined from the governing conservation equations for mass, energy, and momentum. Energy transport, flow rates, and heat transfer are determined from appropriate correlations. System input parameters for the base case are given in Table 3.1. Systems parameters used

The reactor core is modeled with heat generation rates determined from reactor kinetics equations with reactivity feedback and with decay heating as required by Appendix K of 10 CFR 50. The axial power profile used

o . . t l 8 XN-NF-78-16 Supplement 1 for the analyses is shown in Figure 2.2 with a maximum axial peaking factor of 1.51 peaked at 60% of the core height, corresponding to a total peaking factor of 2.76, and a radial peaking of 1.45 with local peaking factor of i 1.224. 3.2 IDENTIFICATION OF CAUSE AND ACCIDENT DESCRIPTION For the purpose of LOCA anal,yses, a loss of coolant accident is defined as a rupture of the Reactor Primary Coolant System piping including the double-ended rupture of the largest pipe in te Reactor Coolant System or l of any line connected to that system up to the first closed valve. Should a major break occur, depressurization of the Reactor Coolant System results in a pressure decrease in the pressurizer. A reactor trip signal occurs when the pressurizer low pressure trip setpoint is reached. Reactor trip and scram were conservatively neglected for the large break analyses. A Safety Injection System signal is actuated when the appropriate setpoint (high containment pressure) is reached. These countermeasures will limit the consequences of the accident in two ways:

1. Reactor trip and borated water injection complements void formation in causing rapid reduction of power to a residual level corresponding to fission product decay heat.
2. Injection of borated water enhances heat transfer from the reactor core and prevents excessive clad temperatures.

At the beginning of the blowdown phase, the entire Reactor Coolant System contains subcooled liquid which transfers heat from the core by forced convection cooling. Af ter the break develops, the time to departure from nucleate boiling is calculated, consistent with Appendix K of 10 CFR 50(8), Thereafter, the core heat transfer is unstable, with both transition and film

9 XN-NF-78-16 Supplement 1 boiling occurring. As the core becomes uncovered, both turbul,ent and laminar forced convection to steam are considered as core heat transfer mechanisms. When the Reactor Coolant System pressure falls below 262.5 psia, the accumulators begin to inject borated water. The conservative assumption is made that accumulator ECC water bypasses the core and goes out through the break until the termination of bypass. This conservatism is again consistent with Appendix K of 10 CFR 50. 3.3 RESULTS Table 3.4 presents the timing and sequence of events for the base case and three sensitivity analyses. In general, the timing for major events are comparable. Results of the hot channel analysis for the base case are plotted in Figure 3.3 to 3.8. Blowdown, hot ch'annel, reflood and heatup plots for the 5450F inlet temperature case are shown in Figure 3.9 to 3.27. Blowdown, hot channel, reflood and heatup plots for the 2150 psia pressurizer case are shown in Figures 3.28 to 3.42. Blowdown, hot channel, reflood and heatup plots for the increased steam generator tests plugging case are shown in Figure 3.47 to 3.61. Difference in PCTs for the four cases are small and are sho.vn in Table 2.1. The PCT decreased with increased inlet coolant temperature primarily due to greater energy released to the containment which resulted in a higher system pressures during reflood and higher reflood rates. The PCT increased with increased steam generator tube plugging primarily due to the reduction in reflood rates resulting from the increased flow resistance in the steam generator. The PCT increased with increased pressurizer pressure primarily due to a degradation of flow in the core during the blowdown portion of the transient. .

4.0 CONCLUSION

For the changes in operating conditions reported in this document, the analyses demonstrate that the impact on LOCA limits are small. Used in conjunction with an approved LOCA ECCS analysis at fixed operating condi-tions, the result of the sensitivity study will provide a basis for making small changes in operating conditions such that 10 CFR 50.46 Acceptance Criteria are satisfied. That is:

1. The calculated peak fuel element clad temperature does not exceed the 22000F limit.
                                     ~
2. The amount of fuel element cladding that reacts chemically with water or stca= does not exceed 1% of the total. amount o,f zircaloy in the reactor. -
3. The cladding temperature transient is terminated at a time when the core geometry is still snenable to cooling. The hot fuel rod cladding oxidation limits of 17% are not exceeded during or after quenching.
4. The system long term cooling capabilities provided for previous cores remain applicable for ENC fuel.
