1.0 INTRODUCTION

The results of the safety analysis for Cycle 10 for the H.B. Robinson Unit 2 nuclear ~ plant are presented in this report. The Cycle 10 analysis reflects plant operation at 2,300 MWt. The topics addressed herein include operating history of the reference cycle, power distribution considera-tions, control rod reactivity requireinents, temperature coefficient con-siderations, and the control rod ejection analysis.

The Cycle 10 design requires the loading of sixty-five (65) fresh Exxon Nuclear Company (ENC) supplied fuel assemblies; forth-four (44) XN-7 assemblies, nine (9) XN-6 assemblies and twelve (12) Partial Length Shield Assemblies (PLSAs). The forty-four (44) fresh XN-7 fuel assemblies utilize natural uranium axial blankets (NUA8s) with thirty-six (36) of the assemblies also containing gadolinia-bearing fuel pins. One of the XN-6 assemblies also contain gadolinia-bearing fuel pins.

The twelve (12)

U PLSAs will reduce the fast neutron fluence reaching the pressure vessel wall.

SUMMARY

Cycle 10 of the H.B. Robinson Unit 2 nuclear plant is designed to operate at 2,300 MWt in Cycle 10 beginning in the fall of 1984. The characteristics of the fuel and of the reload core result in conformance l

with required shutdown margins and thermal limits. Ihis document provides the neutronic analysis for the plant during Cycle 10 operation.

The ENC fuel mechanical design is presented in Reference 1.

The thermal-hydraulic analyses are provided in Reference 14.

The Plant Transient Analyses and the ECCS/LOCA Analyses are presented in References 15 and 16, respectively.

The generic Control Rod Ejection Analysis is

.provided in Reference 17. These ana' lyses are all applicable to the Cycle

.10 operating conditions at 2,300 MWt.

H.B. Robinson Cycle 8 has been chosen as th'e reference neutronics cycle due to the close resemblance of the overall neutronic character-istics of Cycle 10 to Cycle 8.

The results contained in this report.show that operation at a power level of.2,300 MWt can be safely achieved within the licensed limits.

3 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 3.0 OPERATING HISTORY OF THE REFERENCE CYCLE H. 8. Robinson Cycle 8 has been chosen as the reference neutronics cycle due to the close resemblance of the overall neutronic character-istics of Cycle 10 to Cycle 8.

The Cycle 8 plant operation at nominal core average temperature, and power (5780F, 2,300 MWt) started in October 1980 and continued until November 1981. In early December 1981, operation at a reduced core average temperature and power was initiated to improve steam generator tube performance. Cycle 8 ended with an accumulated exposure of 10,383 MWD /MT; 2,300 MWD /MT of which was achieved at reduced temperature and power.

The measured power peaking factors remained below the Technical N

Specification limits for Cycle 8.

The total nuclear peabing factor, F g, andtheradialnuclearpinpeakingfactor,FfH,remainedbelow1.96and 1.49 respectively. Cycle 8 operation was typically rod free with Control Bank D positioned in the range of 200 to 220 steps; 228 steps being fully withdrawn. It is anticipated that similar control bank insertions will be seen in Cycle 10.

i The critical boron concentration as calculated by ENC for Cycle 8 has f

agreed well when compared to the observed values (see Figure 3.1). A power distribution calculated with the PD0 model is compared to measured values shown in Figure 3.2.

The comparison is made at a Cycle 8 exposure of 7,083 MWD /MT for a' core power of 96% of 2,300 MWt.

11 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 5.0 MECHANICAL DESIGN The 44 XN-7 Reload fuel assemblies are mechanically identical to the previous reload assemblies, with the exception of the fuel rods. The 144 inch fuel column includes a six (6) inch column of natural U02 pellets at each end. The natural UO2 pellets have a length-to-diameter ratio of 1.5 and a total dish volume of 0.7% as compared to 0.8 and 1.0%, respectively, for the enriched pellets. In addition, the fuel column insulator discs are no longer used.

The 12 Partial Length Shield Assemblies (PLSAs) are mechanically identical to the Reload XN-7 assemblies, with the exception of replacing the bottom 42 inches of the fuel column with inserts of type 304 stainless steel rod used for neutron shielding.

A supplementil mechanical design analysis for the PLSAs is provided in Reference 3.

A description of the basic Exxon Nuclear supplied fuel design and design methods is contained in Reference 1.

In addition, mechanical design analysis of the Reload XN-7 fuel and the resident XN-5 and XN-6 fuel with current methodology is contained in Reference 2.

Several of the XN-5 assemblies are e'xpected to exceed the original design burnup of 33,000 MWD /MT. The reference analysis encompasses the expected conditions, such that the relevant mechanical criteria will not be exceeded.

Due to the low power of the PLSA fuel, the design conditions are generally enveloped by previous design analyses. However, the differences in physical properties of the stainless steel relative to uranium dioxide required confirmation of certain aspects of the design.

The loading pattern shall be designed to accommodate the PLSAs used to reduce the neutron fluence at the pressure vessel.

The neutronic design methods utilized in the analyses are consistent with those described in References 4 through 7.

6.1 PHYSICS CHARACTERISTICS The neutronic characteristics of the Cycle 10 core are compared to those of Cycle 8 in Table 6.1. The data presented in the table indicates the neutronic similarity between Cycles 8 and 10.

The reactivity coefficients of the Cycle 10 core are bounded by the coef t icients used in the safety analysis. The safety analysis f or Cycle 10 is based on physics characteristics representative of those expected f or a Cycle 9 length of 10,637 MWD /MT.

The boron letdown curve for Cycle 10 operation at 7,300 MWt is shown in Figure 6.1.

As shown, the B0C10 no xenon, hot f ull power (HFP )

critical boron concentration is predicted to be 1,002 ppm. At 100 MWD /MT,

equilibrium xenon, the critical boron concentration at HFP is 713 ppm. The Cycle 10 length is projected to be 10,820 MWD /PR (312 EFPDs) with no boron at E0C at a power level of 2,300 MWt.

6.1.1 Power Distribution Considerations At a power level of 2,300 MWt at equilibrium xenon conditions,100 MWU/MT, the calculated XTG peak F6H is 1.48 including a 4%

T measurement uncertainty.

At the same exposure the peak Fg js 2,1g T.

including a 3% engineering f actor, a 5% measurement oncer tainty, K(Z) consideraions, and an 11% allowance for operation with PDC-II and +5%

target bands.

i------i

15 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 T

The peak F3H and Fg in Cycle 10 occur at a cycle exposure of 5,000 MWD /MT.

The predicted value of FaH at this exposure is 1.56 T

including the 4% measurement uncertainty. The peak F g, again including V(Z) and K(Z) considerations and appropriate uncertainties, is 2.18.

The quarter-core radial power distributions are pre-i sented in Figures 6.2 through 6.4 for Cycle 10 exposures of 100 MWD /MT, 5,000 MWD /MT, and (E0C) 1.0,820 MWD /MT, respectively.

=

With the normalized axial dependence factor K(Z) in-T cluded, the expected peak power, F g, versus core axial elevation has been T

All F g values are within Technical Specification limits. The evaluated.

limiting case is found to be at 5,000 MWD /MT near the core mid-plane with T

F g being about 6% below the allowable unit for operation with target bands of + 5% at 2,300 MWt.

For Cycle 10 (as in Cycle 9), the total allowable power peaking factor of 2.32 at 2,300 MWt includes the local power peaking due to fuel densification and uncertainties related to engineering factor, measurement, and analysis.

This power peaking limit assures that the linear power density remains below the limiting value3 of the fuel rod linear power density, thus meeting the LOCA and the overpower limit criteria.

6.1.2 Control Rod Reactivity Requirements vetailed calculations of shutdown margins for Cycle 10 are compared with Cycle 8 data in Table 6.2.

A value of 1,770 pcm is used at E0C in the evaluation of the shutdown margin to be consistent with the Technical Specifications. The Cycle 10 analysis indicates excess shutdown

16 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 margins of 1,911 pcm at the B0C and 461 pcm at the EOC. The Cycle 8 analysis indicated excess shutdown margins for that cycle of 1,554 pcm at the B0C and 565 at the E0C. The Cycle 10 excess shutdown margins are seen to be similar to the Cycle 8 values.

The control rod groups and insertion limits for Cycle 10 will remain unchanged from Cycle 8. The control rod shutdown requirements in Table 6.2 allow for a HFP D Bank insertion equivalent to 600 pcm for B0C and 400 pcm for E0C, to bound the Cycle 10 control rod worths.

6.1.3 Isothermal Temperature Coefficient Considerations The Cycle 10 isothermal temperature coefficients are shown in Table 6.1 for HFP and HZP conditions at both BOC and E0C.

At 80C10, following a nominal E0C9 shutdown exposure of 10,637 mwd /MT, the HFP isothermal temperature coefficient is projected to be -5.1 pcm/0F at a -

critical baron concentration of 1,002 ppm. The corresponding HZP critical boron concentration is 1,134 ppm with the isothermal temperature coef-ficient being -0.7 pcm/0F.

The Technical Specification for the moderator temp-erature coefficient for Cycle 10 allows for a +5.0 pcm/0F (Reference 15) at HZP conditions.

With a calculated value of + 1.0 pcm/0F at HZP, the Technical Specifications at this condition is expected to be met, with no control rod insertion anticipated for ascension to HFP conditions. Simi-larly, at HFP conditions, the calculated moderator temperature coefficient for HFP, shown in Table 6.1 for no xenon, is well below the regirement of 0 pcm/0F.

.. - s.

17 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 6.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION CONTROL PROCEDURES ine control of the core power distribution is accomplished by following the procedures for " Exxon Nuclear Power Distribution Control for Pressurized Water Reactors, Phase II"(8,9,10). These procedures, denoted PDC-II, have been generically approved by the NRC for application to Westinghouse type PWRs.

6.3 ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY The metnoas usea in tne Cycle 10 core analyses are described in References 4 through 7.

In summary, the reference neutronic design analysis of the reload core was performed using the XTG(II) reactor simulator system. The fuel shuffling between cycles was accounted for in the calculations. The P0Q/ HARMONY (12,13) code package will be utilized to monitor the power distribution.

Calculated values of Fg, Fxy, and FoH were studied with the twenty-four (24) axial node XTG reactor model.

The thermal-hydraulic feedback and axial exposure distribution effects of power shapes, rod worths, and cycle lifetime are explicitly included in the analysis.

24 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 7.0 THERMAL-HYDRAULIC DESIGN The Cycle 10 core consists of ENC supplied fuel assemblies as shown in Table 4.1 The hydraulic design of all fuel types are identical, thereby ensuring compatibility. The hydraulic design was analyzed and the results of the analysis documented in Reference 14.

The thermal hydraulic performance of the H.B. Robinson Unit 2 core has been analyzed. A bounding core assembly power distribution at the exposure which exhibited the worst radial peaking was used in the analysis.

The maximum technical specification limif (F[g = 1.65) assembly was assumed. A boundingly low local rod power distribution was used in the analysis of the maximum radially peaked assembly to provide low departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) results.

The analysis uses a lower plenum flow maldistribution factor of 5% to the limiting fuel assembly, 4.5% core flow bypass and a low estimate of total recirculating primary coolant flow rate for 6% steam generator tube plugging with a further 3% reduction to account for flow measurement uncertainty. Therefore, the analysis of the core as constituted considered all fuel types in a bounding manner.

The results of the thermal-hydraulic performance analyses are used as bases for the analyses of anticipatdd operational occurences(15). The results of the plant transient analyses show that the specified acceptable fuel design limits for each event as defined in the plant licensing bases are met. The results of the analysis are reported in Reference 15.

25 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 8.0 ACCIDENT AND TRANSIENT ANALYSIS 8.1 PLANT TRANSIENT AND ECCS ANALYSES The plant transient (15) and ECCS(16) analyses are performed to support operation at a power level of 2,300 MWt with 6% of the tubes plugged in the replacement steam generators. Confirmation that operation with an Fpg of 1.65 and an Fg of 2.32 meets the acceptance criteria for each event T

as defined in the licensing basis for H. B. Robinson Unit 2 is provided in References 15 and 16.

8.2 R0D EJECTION ANALYSIS A Control Rod Ejection Accident is defined as the mechanical f ailure of a control rod mechanism pressure housing, resulting in the ejection of a Rod Cluster Control Assembly (RCCA) and drive shaf t.

The consequence of this mechanical f ailure is a rapid reactivity insertion together with an adverse core power distribution, possibly leading to localized fuel rod damage.

The rod ejection accident has been evaluated with the procedures developed in the ENC Generic Rod Ejection Analysis, Reference 17.

The ejected rod worths and hot pellet peaking f actors were calculated using the XTG code. No credit was taken for the power flattening effects of Doppler or moderator feedback in the calculation of ejected rod worths or resultant peaking factors. The pellet energy deposition resulting from an ejected rod was conservatively evaluated explicitly for 80C and E0C conditions.

The HFP pellet energy deposited was calculated to be 165 cal /gm at B0C and 172 cal /gm at E0C. The HZP pellet energy deposition was calculated to be less than 40 cal /gm for both BOC and E0C conditions.

The rod ejection

26 XN-NF-83-72 Revision 2 accident was found to result ir: an energy deposition of less than the 280 cal /gm limit as stated in Regulatory Guide 1.77.

The significant parameters for the analyses, along with the results, are summarized in Tables 8.1 and 8.2 8.3 RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF POSTULATED ACCIDENTS With the increased fuel exposures planned for H.B. Robinson Unit 2 fuel, the potential radiological consequence of the postulated accidents have been assessed to verify that the 10 CFR 100 limits continue to be satisfied. This cssessment assumes that the reactor is operated at 2,300 MWt with a peak assembly exposure of 44,000 MWD /MT.

The results of the assessment (Reference 17) indicate that the whole body and thyroid dose received from the postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), fuel hand-ling accident (FHA), and other events with high burnup fuel are conser-vatively shown to be well below values prescribed in 10 CFR 100.
