ABSTRACT This document provides a description of the CEA Calculator (CEAC) and CEA Penalty Factor Algorith functional design to be implemented in the Core-Protection Calculator (CPC) System of the Reactor Protection , System. The scope of this functional description includes detailed specification of the CEAC Penalty Factor Algorithm, which is a component of the CPC/CEAC software, ,

Two CEACs are provided in the Core Protection Calculator System. Each CEAC receives all of the CEA positions and calculates two per,alty factors based on-the severity.of CEA deviation within a subgroup. These two penalty-factors are transmitted to the CPCs to be included in the DNBR and LPD calculations. Detailed algorithm descriptions are provided.-

The algorithm equations are written in symbolic algebra. All variables

                      -are defined, and units are specified where applicable. In addition, the' 16-bit output buffer,-which transmits' the penalty factors to the
                      - CPCs, is defined.

^ h// 2.0- CEAC DESIGN BASIS The function of the CEAC is to scan all CEA positions and, based on any single-CEA deviation detected within a CEA subgroup, to calculate the single CEA position-related penalty factors necessary to ensure that the CPCs calculate conservative approximations _to

The CEAC must also be capable of detecting a reactor. power cutback event. 2.1 SPECIFIED FUEL DESIGN LIMITS The fuel design limits used to define-the low DNBR and LPD trip settings in the CPC to-ensure the following Specified Acceptable Fuel Design Limits'(SAFDLs) are not exceeded are: a.- The DNBR in the limiting coolant channel in the core shall be maintained such that there is at least a 95% probability, with 95% confidence, that DNB-is avoided. - b.- The peak LPD in the _ limiting fuel pin _in the core shall be maintained such that ' centerline fuel melting-is avoided.- - 2.2 ANTICIPATED OPERATIONAL OCCURRENCES (A00s)

3.1 CEA cal.CUL ATOR PENALTY FACTOR ALGORITHM FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT CEA insertion or withdrawal is expected to occur according to the sequence prescribed in the plant Technical Specifications. The CPC/CEAC system, however, must account for the increased radial peaking factor that would result from CEA motion not in accordance with the prescribed sequence.' CPC determines radial peaking factors based on the prescribed sequence and corrects for misoperations involving subgroups and groups (out of sequence insertion, subgroup deviations from their group, and excessive insertion of PLCEAs). However, CPC cannot detect- deviations of single CEAs from their subgroup since any CPC will.only see one member of a subgroup. The CEA calculator (CEAC) provides adjustmer to radial peaking factors for those misoperations that are not detectable by the CPCs, g Specifically, the CEAC compares the positions of the four (or five) W CEAs in each subgroup to decide if a significant deviation is present. Should such a deviation be detected, the CEAC determines, and sends to the CPC, two penalty factor multipliers; one each for the DNBR and LPD calculations. The penalty factors accommodate changes in the core axial and radial power distributions that are not directly perceived by CPC and are selected to assure that CPC obtains conservative estimates of.the peak local power density and minimum DN8R for individual CEA-i lated A00s that require a CPCS trip. To satisfy these requirements, the following specific functional requirement, as a minimum; must be satisfied 3.1.i Recuirements for Accommodation of Defined Sinaie CEA-Related A00s The CEA deviation Penalty Factors generated by the CEAC fo ' use in ,, the CPC trip functior: must be desigied to accommodate the

  )            individual CEA-related A00s described in Section 2.7 The bases for this requirement are:

1 3.1.2 Inputs and Outputs The CEACs shall each receive analog core axial CEA position measurement signals which originate from one of two Reed Switch Position Transmitters (RSPTs) associated with each CEA. Each CEA position is measured by two redundant independent RSPTS which

                             ~

transmit analog signals to two redundant independent CEACs (refer to Figure 3-1 for ANO-2) -The resolution requirements on the CEAC measurement of CEA position shall be such that (excluding process signal error) CEA_ position shall be determined to within 0.5%. The RSPT consists of a series of magnetically actuated reed switches fN spaced at intervals along-the RSPT assembly and wired with precision resistors in a voltage divider network. The RSPT is affixed adjacent to the Control Element Drive Mechanism (CEDM) pressure housing and CEA extension shaft. A magnet attached to the CEA extension shaft actuates the. adjacent reed switches, causing a voltage signal proportional to the CEA-position to be transmitted for each CEA. The two RSPTs are isolated both electrically and physically from each other. The CEAC input signal derived from the

                               -RSPT output has a range of 5 to 10 volts corresponding to O to_150
                               ' inches of CEA travel, or Oi, to 100% withdrawal.

The CEAC shall calculate the CEA deviation Penalcy Factors based on 4 CEA position sensor input-data obtained from each of the RSPTs (refer to Figure 3-1 for typical 81 CEA Plant). The components of the CEA deviation-Penalty Factors are determined from the following data:

1. Two static penalty factor components calculated as functions of

. V- deviation magnitude within a subgroup; one each for DNBR and (- LPD. CEAC Functional Design Requirements CEN-304 Revision 01 Page 3-2 1- ---_-_ _ _ _

2. A dynamic xenon penalty factor component calculated as a

(/ function of elapsed time during which excess deviation exists in the subgroup.

3. Two correction constants for the Xenon component; one each for DNBR and LPD.

The output signals for each CEAC are listed in Table 3-1. The two contact outputs must actuate operator alarms. The six digital-word outputs form the 16-bit output buffer which transmits the CEA penalty factors to the CPCs. The CEAC Failure Flag indicates that (1) the quantity of deviating CEAs per core quadrant or (2) the quantity of failed sensors exceeds limiting pre-set numbers. Actuation of the CEA Failure Flag is described in more detail in Section 3.4.1. The Scale Flag indicates the range of the penalty factors, and is described in more detail in Section 3.4.3. 3.2 PROGRAM STRUCTURE TheCEACdesignbasesrequireIhatthecalculatorbecapableof detecting a reactor power cutback event, detecting CEA deviation, calculating the single CEA deviation penalty factors, and indicating by alarm and indicator flag CEA deviation, CEAC failure, and sensor out-of-range failures. In addition, the CEAC will provide diagnostic information on CEA sensor failures. Therefore, the CEAC Penalty Factor Algorithm has been designed:

1. To recognize the initiation of a reactor power cutback event.
2. To calculate the deviation (difference in position) amongst the CEAs in each subgroup.
3. To recognize excessive CEA deviation within a subgroup, and to identify each occurrence as a single CEA withdrawal, single CEA

3.3 PROGRAM TIMING AND INPUT SAMPLING RATES (See Appendix A for System 80 Plants) The CEAC Penalty. Factor Algorithm sof tware is designed for the purpose of providing, for existing CEA configurations, an on-line real-time determination of the single CEA deviation DNBR and LPD penalty factors to be apolied in the CPC determination of the hot pin heat flux distribution, the adjusted compensated core average power, and the local power density. The algorithm required for this (.g kj purpose is time oriented, with a calculation scheduling rate and updats period that is compatible with overall CEAC/CPC system

The execution period is the maximum time in seconds from the time CEA RSPT sensors are scanned to the time the CEAC calculated outputs are updated with new information from that input scan and calculatien. The calculations shall be scheduled in such a manner that the update requirements are met. There are two CEAC System update periods:

1. The Update Period This update period consists of a periodic fixed c algorithm scheduling rate. The CEAC Penalty Factor

4.0 ALGDRITHM DESCRIPTION This section includes a detailed description of the functions to be performed by the CEAC Program. For the program described below. the  : sequence of computations reouired is described in sufficient detail to allow the software designer to specify the coding of the  ! protection program. The penalty factor algorithm produces two penalty factors, one for DNBR and one for LPD. These penalty factors are found by taking the largest DNBR penalty factor and the largest LPD penalty factor calculated for any subgroup. The penalty factors on the subgroup , level are formed by combining a static DNBR penalty factor component with a dynamic Xenon penalty f6ctor component, and by combining a static LPD penalty factor component with a dynamic Xenon penalty factor component. (^

h APPENDIX A PEVISED SECTIONS FOR USE WITH SYSTEM 80 PL ANTS Appendix A contains those sections which would be changed for application to System 80 plants. Appendix A section numbers correspond to the main document numbers, but are preceded with an "A". For application to System 80, the appendix sections supercede those with corresponding numbers in the main document. Sections which have generic ' applicability, therefore, are not contained in this appendix. The following is a list of Appendix A section numbers with their corresponding titles and page numbers.

y A3.3 PROGRAM TIMING AND INPUT SAMPLING RATES I (' x j The CEAC Penalty Factor Algorithm sof twere is designed for the purpose of providing, for existing CEA configurations, an on-line real-time determination of the single CEA deviation related DNBR and LPD penalty factors to be applied in the CPC determination of the hot pin heat flux distribution, the adjusted compensated core average power, and the local power density. The algorithm required for thi. purpose is time oriented, with a calculation scheduling rate and updata period that is compatible with overall CEAC/CPC system response requirements. The execution period is the maximum time in seconds from the time CEA RSPT sensors are scanned to the time the CEAC calculated outputs are updated with new information from that input scan and calculation. The calculations shall be scheduled in such a manner that the update requirements are met. There are two CEAC System update periods:

  /mS                             1. The Update Period 9                                       _                _

This update period consists of a periodic fixed algorithm scheduling rate. The CEAC Penalty Factor Program outputs shall be updated every .

                                                     ~

n (one per CEAC). The off-line storage device shall be utilized for S ,) normal CEAC start-up loading but not during normal CEAC operation. A3,5 OPERATOR INTERFACE The reactor operator shall be informed of the status of the CEACs by three mechanisms:

1. The calculators generate
  • alarms to alert the operator to CEA sensor failure or excessive CEA deviation.
2. The CRT Video Monitor displays the position of the individual CEAS arranged into subgroups and control groups utilizing a bar graph rspresentation. If a CEA deviation exists, the group and subgroup having the deviation, the CEAs assigned to the subgroup with the deviation, and the position for each of these rCAs in inches from the bottom of the core will be displayed below the bar graph representation. This display of CEA deviation information is ordered by decreasing penalty factor magnitude and is limited to the information associated with three CEA deviations. In addition CEA sensor failure information (CEA number and type of failure) shall be dis-played, if not preempted by CEA deviation information.
3. The CPC/CEAC operator's module provides CEAC inputs, selected intermediate variables, and outputs.

A3.5.1 Alarms and Annuncirtors A CEA deviation alarm (including Case 2 type deviations) and a failed sensor alarm shall be provided to the Plant Annunciator System (audible anJ visual) and to the CPC/CEAC operator's module. Removal of the alarm indication should be prohibited unless the condition causing the alarm no longer exists.

A3.5.2 . Displays and Indicators~ {O Both CEACs shall be linked to a single CRT Display Generator for the purposes of displaying individual CEA position information. The connection between the data link and each individual CEAC shall be made via an appropriate isolation device (as defined in IEEE Std. 279-1971). A manual selection switch shall be utilized to determine which of the two CEACs the Display Gdnerator will utilize in generating a CEA position dis

  • play. The CEA Position Display (Figure 3-1) consists of a CRT Video Monitor and a Display Generator.

The CRT Video Monitor shall display the position of the irdividual CEAs arranged into subgroups by control groups utilizing a bar graph representation. If a CEA deviation exists, the CRT shall identify the CEA's assigned to the subgroup with the deviation and shall indicate the position of these CEA's in inches from the bottom of the core below the bar graph representation. The CRT shall also display failed sensor information. O Provisions shall also be ma_de to allow the operator to obtain a digital position read out in units of inches from the bottom of the core by addressing the particular point I.D. of the CEA on the operator's module. Certain CEAC intermediate variables and outputs (including the LPD and DNBR penalty factors and the packed penalty factor word to be transmitted to the CPCs) shall be available through the operator's module. Each CEAC shall provide diagnostic information to the operator via the operator's module or a teletype. The three types of diagnostic information to be provided are:

1. Failed sensor stack.
2. A " snapshot" or listing of CEA positions, penalty factors, and time of occurrence of the devia tion.

3. A flag indicating the cause of any alarm.
