10. Local Rod Withdrawal Error (With Limiting Instrument Failure) AOO Summary Rod withdrawal enor (RWE) is analyzed in GE Licensing Report, Extendedload Line Limit and ARTSIm-provement Program Analysesfor CooperNuclearStation Cycle 14, NEDC-31892P, Januasy 1991. A cycle-specific analysis was performed for this cycle to verify that the ARTS RWE generic limits in NEDC-31892P remain valid with the use of the Cycle 17 fuel design. The results obtained verified that the existing ARTS limits are still valid for this cycle.

14. Control Rod Drop Analysis Results Cooper Nuclear Station operates in the banked position withdrawal sequence (BPWS), so the control rod drop accident analysis is not required. NRC approval to use the generic analysis is documented in NEDE-24011-P-A-US, March 1991. CNS implemented the BPWS it.to the Rod Worth Minimizer (RWM) as documented in License Amendment No. I17. Removal of the Rod Sequence Control System (RSCS) at CNS has been approved by the NRC in License Amendment No.156.
15. Stability Analysis Results GE SIL-380 recommendations have been included in the Cooper Nuclear Station Technical Specifications; therefore, no stability analysis is required as documented in the letter, C. O. Thomas (NRC) to H. C. Pfefferien (GE), AcceptanceforReferencing ofLicensing TopicalReportNEDE-24011, Rev. 6, Amendment 8 Thermal Hydraulic Stability Amendment to GESTAR H, April 24,1985.

Cooper Nuclear Station recognizes the issuance of NRC Bulletin No. 88-07, Supplement 1, Power Oscilla-tions in Boiling WaterReactors (BWRs), and has taken appropriate actions to address the identified concerns.

16. Loss-of-Coolant Accident Results LOCA method used: SAFE /REFLOOD/ CHASTE Reference the loss-of-Coolant A ccident Analysis Reportfor Cooper Nuclea r Power Station, NEDO-24045, August 1977, as amended.

Peak clad temperature (PCT) are s 2127 *F at all exposure and local oxidation fractions are s 0.065 at all exposures.

When in single loop operation, a MAPLHGR factor of 0.75 is substituted for the LOCA analysis factors of 1.0 and 0.86 contained in the flow dependent MAPLHGR curves (K ) that are applied to the full power nodal t

exposure-<lependent limits.

NRC approval for single loop operation is documented in Amendment No. 94, dated September 24,1985, to Cooper Nuclear Station Facility Operating License.

Decrease in Core Coolant Temperature Events The loss-of-feedwater heating (LFWH) and the HPCI inadvertent startup anticipated operational occur-rences (AOO) are the only cold water injection events checked on a cycle-by-cycle basis.

The LFWH event was analyzed using the BWR Simulator code (Reference B-1). The use of this code is per-mitted in GESTAR II(Reference B-2). The transient plots, flux, and Q/A normally reported in Section 9 are not outputs of the BWR Simulator Code; therefore, these items are not included in this document for the L FWH event.

For the HPCI event, the CPR is presented in Section 11. The transient analysis inputs used for the HPCI AOO are given in Table B-1.

- COOPER STATION 24A5187 Reload 16 Rev.1 Appendix C SRV Tolerance Analysis The limiting overpressure event for Cooper is the main steam isolation valve closure with flux scram (MSIVF). The Cycle 17 reload evaluation was performed with the SRV and SV opening pressures at 3%

above their nominal values. The peak vessel pressure reported for the Cycle 17 reload is 1242 psig.

An SRV tolerance analysis was previously completed and reported in Reference C-1. To demonstrate the applicability of Reference C-1 results to Cycle 17, an additional MSIVF event was analyzed with SRV opening pressure of 1210 psig (SRV upper limit). Except for the SRV opening pressure, this evaluation used the same analysis conditions as in the standard MSIVF analysis. Figure C-1 shows the reactor response for the MSIVF event with the upper limit SRV opening pressure set to 1210 psig. The peak vessel pressure for this case is 1302 psig at the vessel bottom, which is significantly below the vessel overpressure limit of 1375 psig. Thus, the Cycle 17 Upper limit case meets the ASME code requirement for the overpressure protection.

This evaluation demonstrate compliance to vessel overpressure limits for cycle 17 with the upper limit SRV pressure. Thus, the applicability of Reference C-1 can be extended to Cycle 17.
