1.0 INTRODUCTION

Catawba Unit Two Cycle 8 includes a feed batch of 80 MkBW fuel assemblies manufactured by B&W Fuel i Company (BWFC). The feed batch was enriched to 3.98% (w/o). Burnable poison rod assemblies used in the feed batch were also manufactured by BWFC.

Catawba Unit Two Cycle 8 core loading be0an at 1046 on November 1,1995 and ended at 1534 on i November 4,1995. Initial criticality for cycle 8 occurred at 1810 on November 28,1995. Zero Power Physics l Testing ended at 0200 on November 30,1995. The unit reached full power at 0041 on December 7,1995.

Power escalation testing, including testing at full power, was completed by December 9,1995. l 4,

Precriticaltesting includes:

= core loading 4

  • preliminary calibration of nuclear instrumentation
  • dilution of reactor coolant system to estimated critical boron concentration Sections 2.1 through 2.3 describe results of precritical testing for Catawba 2 Cycle 8.

2.1 Total Core Reloading

' The cycle 8 core was loaded under the direction of PT/0/N4150/22, Total Core Reloading. Plots of Inverse Count Rate Ratio (iCRR) versus number of fuel assemblies loaded were kept for each applicable source range and boron dilution mitigation system (BDMS) channel.

Core loading began at 1046 on November 1,1995 and concluded at 1534 on November 4,1995. Core r loading was verified by PT/0/N4550/03C, Core Verification, which was completed by 2100 on November 4, 1995.

Figure 1 shows the core loading pattem for Catawba 2 Cycle 8.

2.2 Preliminary NIS Calibration .,

Periodic test procedure PT/0/N4600/05E, Preliminary NIS Calibration, is performed before initial criticality for each new fuel cycle. Intermediate range reactor trip and rod stop setpoints are adjusted using measured power distribution from the previous fuel cycle and predicted power distribution for the upcoming fuel cycle.

Power range full power currents are similarly adjusted. Intermediate range calibration data is checked and revised as necessary during power escalation testing. Due to the T-hot reduction an added conservatism was used to account for any uncertainties that may have been introduced by the T-hot reduction.

Table 2 shows the calibration data calculated by PT/0/N4600/05E. Calculations were performed on November 13,1995. Calibrations were complete by November 26,1995.

2.3 Reactor Coofant System Dilution The reactor coolant system boron concentration was diluted from the refueling boron concentration to the 4 estimated critical boren concentration per PT/0/N415W19,1/M Approach to Criticality, inverse Count Rate Ratio (ICRR) was plotted versus gallons of demineralized water added.

l Initial reactor coolant boron concentration was 2577 ppmB. The estimated critical boron concentration was calculated to be 1870 ppmB. The calculated volume of demineralized water required was 19489 gallons.

This change in boron concentration was expected to decrease ICRR from 1.0 to 0.4.

+

Reactor coolant system dilution began at 2215 on November 27,1995 and concluded at 0400 on November 28,1995. The final reactor coolant system boron concentration, after allowing system to mix, was 1863 ppmB Figure 2 shows ICRR versus volume of water used.

i 3.0 ZERO POWER PHYSIC 8 TESTING Zero Power Physics Testing (ZPPT) is performed at the beginning of each cycle and is controlled by ,

PT/0/N415001, Controlling Procedure for Startup Physics Testing Test measurements are made below the point of nuclear heat using the output of one power range detector connected to a reactivity computer.

Measurements are compared to predicted data to verify core design. The following tests / measurements are includedin the ZPPT program:

1/M Approach to Criticality Measurement of point of adding heat ReactMty computer checkout All Rods Out critical boron concentration measurement All Rods Ou' isothermal temperature coefficient measurement 1

Measurement of reference bank worth by dilution Reference bank in critical boron concentration measurement Differential boron worth determination Control rod worths measurement by Rod Swap i

Zero power physics testing for Catawba 2 Cycle 8 began at 1447 on November 28,1995 with the beginning j of rod withdrawal for approach to criticality. ZPPT ended at 0200 on November 30,1995 following analysis of

rod swap data. Table 3 summarizes results from ZPPT. All acceptance criteria were met.

Sections 3.1 through 3.10 describe ZPPT measuremente and results.

, 3.1 1/M Approach to Criticality Initial crMicality for Catawba 2 Cycle 8 was achieved per PT/0/A/4150/19,1/M Approach to Criticality. In this procedure, Estimated Critical Rod Position (ECP) is calculated based on latest available reactor coolant boron concentration. Control rods are withdrawn until Boron Dilution Mitigation System (BDMS) or Source Range count rate doubles. Inverse Count Rate Ratio (ICRR) is plotted for each source range and BDMS channel. ICRR data is used to project critical rod position. If projected critical rod position is acceptable, rod withdrawal may continue.

Rod withdrawal for the approach to criticality began at 1451 on November 28,1995. Criticality was achieved  ;

at 1811 on November 28,1995 with Control Bank D at 208 steps withdrawn.

Figure 3 shows the ICRR plots that were used during the approach to criticality. All acceptance criteria of PT/0/A/4150/19 were met.

If one decade of overlap did not exist, interrnediate range compensation voltage would have been adjusted to provide the overlap.

Overlap data for Cycle 8 was obtained per PT/0/A/4150/01, Controlling procedure for Startup Physics 1 Testing, on November 28,1995. Table 4 contains the overlap data. The acceptance criterion was met.

I 3.3 Point of Nuclear Heat Addition The point of nuclear heat addition is measured by trending reactor coolant system temperature, pressurizer level, flux level, and reactivity while slowly increasing reactor power. A slow, constant startup rate is initiated by rod withdrawal. An increase in reactor coolant system temperature and/or pressurizer level accompanied by a change in reactivity and/or rate of flux increase indicates the addition of nuclear heat.

For Cycle 8, the point of nuclear heat addition was determined per PT/0/A/4150/01, Controlling Procedure for Startup Physics Testing, on November 28,1995. Table 5 summarizes the data obtained.

The zero power physics test band was set at 10' to 1.7x10' amps on power range channel N44 (connocted to reactivity computer). This test band provided more than a factor of two margin to nuclear heat for zero power physics testing. Acceptance criterion was satisfied.

A reactivity insertion of approximately +20, was rnade. The period is measured and used to determine the theoretical reactivity. The measured reactivity is compared to the theoretical reactivity and verified to be within 4.0%.

This test is performed at the beginning of each cycle to verify that measured and predicted total core reactivity are consistent. The test is performed near the all rods out (ARO) configuration. Reactor coolant system boron samples are obtained while control bank D is pulled to the fully withdrawn position. The reactivity difference from criticality to the ARO configuration is measured and converted to an equivalent boron worth using the predicted differential boron worth. The average measured boron concentration is adjusted accordingly to obtain the ARO critical boron concentration.

The Cycle 8 beginning of cycle, hot zero power, all rods out, critical boron concentration was measured on

< November 29,1995 per PT/0/A/4150/10, Boron Endpoint measurement. The ARO, HZP boron concentration was measured to be 1869 ppmB. Predicted ARO critical boron concentration was 1876 ppmB. The acceptance criterion, measured boron wittso 50 ppmB of predicted, was met.

- Page 11 of 34 3.6 ARO loothermol Temperature Coefficient Measurement The all rods out (ARO) isothermal temperature coefficient (lTC) is measured at the beginning of each cycle to verify consistency with predicted value. In addition, the moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) is obtained by subtracting the doppler temperature coefficient from the ITC. The MTC is used to ensure ,

compliance with Technical Specification limits.

To measure the ITC, statepoint data is obtained prior to cooldown. A reactor coolant system cooldown is initiated, within administrative cooldown limits. When sufficient data (at least 5 'F) is obtained, statepoint data is again obtained. A heatup is performed while again maintaining administrative limits. The Delta Reactivity divided by the Delta Temperature (for each cooldown/heatup) are used to determine the ITC.

The cooldown/heatup cycle is repeated if additional data is required.

4 The beginning of cycle 8 ITC was measured per PT/0/A/4150/12A, Isothermal Coefficient of Reactivity Measurement, on November 29,1995. No additional cooldown/heatup cycles were required because of good agreement between the heatup and cooldown results. Table 7 summarizes the data obtained during the measurement.

Average ITC was -3.14 pcmrF. Predicted ITC was -3.47 pcmrF. Measured ITC was within acceptance criterion of predicted ITC i 2 pcmrF.

The MTC was determined to be -1.37 pcmPF. This value was used with procedure PT0/A/4150/21, Temporary Rod Withdrawal Umits Determination, to ensure that MTC would remain within Technical Specification limits at all power levels. No rod withdrawal limits were required.

. The control rod bank predicted to have the highest worth is designated the reference bank and is measured by inserting the bank (with all other rod banks fully withdrawn) in discrete steps while slowly diluting the reactor coolant boron concentration. The reactivity worths of the discrete steps of rod insertion are measured using the reactivity computer and summed to obtain the integral worth of the reference bank.

The beginning of cycle 8 reference bank (Control Bank C) worth was measured on November 29,1995 per PT/0/A/4150/11 A, Control Rod Worth Measurement by Boration/ Dilution. Figure 4 shows integral worth of reference bank versus bank position. The reference bank was measured to be worth 999.5 pcm; predicted worth was 900 pcm. The acceptance criterion, measured worth within i 15% of predicted, was met.

I 3.8 Reference Bank in Boron Endpoint Measurement This test is performed at the beginning of each cycle to measure the critical boron concentration with the I

reference bank fully inserted and all other control rod banks fully withdrawn. The measured borcn concentration is used with the measured ARO critical boron concentration and the measured worth of the reference bank to calculate the differential boron worth. Reactor coolant system boron samples are obtained while control rods are inserted or withdrawn to the " Reference Bank in" configuration. The j reactivity difference from criticality to the " Reference Bank in" configuration is measured and converted to i an equivalent boron worth using the predicted differential boron worth. The average measured boron concentration is adjusted accordingly to obtain the " Reference Bank in" critical boron concentration.

The Cycle 8 beginning of cycle, hot zero power, reference bank in, critical boron concentration was ,

measured on November 29,1995 per PT/0/A/4150/10, Boron Endpoint measurement. The Reference Bank In Boron Endpoint boron concentration was measure to be 1731 ppmB. Predicted " Reference Bank ,

in" critical boron concentration was 1746 ppmB. There is no quantitative acceptance criteria directly associated with this test. .

3.9 Differential Boron Worth Determination  :

The differential boron worth is calculated from the measured ARO critical boron concentration, Reference Bank in critical boron concentration, and total reactivity worth of reference bank. The calculated value is compared to predicted value to verify consistency. This calculation also provides an indirect check of i measured reference bank worth and of the boron endpoint measurements. i l

The beginning of Cycle 8, hot zero power differential boron worth was calculated to be -7.24 pcm/ppmB per PT/0/A/4150/01, Controlling Procedure for Startup Physics Testing. The predicted value was -6.92 pcm/ppmB. The acceptance criterion (measured within i 15% of predicted), was met. l 3.10 Control Rod Worth Measurement by Rod Swap 1

The worths of all control rod banks except the reference bank are measured by inserting each bank while ]

withdrawing the reference bank and/or previously measured bank to maintain near critical conditions. 1 When the bank being measured is fully inserted, the reference bank is positioned to achieve critical conditions with all other rod banks fully withdrawn. The worth of the fully inserted bank is determined from the critical position of the reference bank. The measured worth is compared to predicted worth to verify consistency. The sum of the worths of all banks, including the reference bank, is also compared to j

. predicted total.

j The beginning of cycle 8 rod worth measurement by rod swap was performed on November 29,1995 per

PT/0/A/4150/11B, Control Rod Worth Measurement by Rod Swap. Table 8 summarizes the results. All acceptance criteria were met.

' Power escalation testing for Catawba 2 Cycle 8 began on November 30,1995. Full power was reached on December 7,1995. Full power testing was completed on December 9,1995.

Sections 4.1 through 4.6 describe the significant tests performed during power escalation and their results.

4.1 Core Power Distribution i

Core power distribution measurements are performed during power escalation at low power (approximately 30%), intermediate power (approximately 65%), and full power. Measurements are made to verify flux symmetry and to verify enre peaking factors are within limits. Data obtained during this test are also used to check calibration of power range channels and to calibrate them if required (see sections

4.2 and 4.6). Measurements are made using the moveable incore detector system and analyzed using Duke Power's CORE and MONITOR codes (adapted from Shangstrom Nuclear Associates' CORE package and BWFC's MONITOR code, respectively).

The Catawba 2 Cycle 8 core power distribution measurements were performed on December 1,1995

. (30% power), December 2,1995 (60% power), and December 7,1995 (100% power). Table 9 through 11

4.3 Reactor Coolant Loop Delta Temperature Measurement Reactor coolant system (NC) hot leg and cold leg temperature data is obtained between 50% and 80%

power and at 100% power per PT/0/A/4600/26, NC Temperature Calibration, to ensure that full power delta temperature constants (AT,) are valid. AT, is used in the overpower and overtemperature delta temperature reactor protection functions.

PT/0/A/4600/26 was performed at 75% power on December 4,1995 and at 100% power on December 5, 1995. No adjustments were required based on results obtained at 75% power. Loops A, B, C, and D were calibrated using full power results. Table 13 summarizes the test results.

4 Page 21 of 34 4.4 Hot Full Power Critical Boron Concentration Mesourement The hot full power critical boron concentration is measured using PT/0/A/4150/04, Reactivity Anomaly Calculation. Reactor coolant boron concentration is measured (average of three samples) with reactor at t essentially all rods out, hot full power, equilibrium xenon conditions. The measured boron is corrected for

! any off-reference condition (e.g. Inserted rod worth, temperature error, difference from equilibrium xenon) and compared to predicted value.

I For the purposes of Startup Physics testing, the predicted critical boron concentration is adjusted for the

difference between predicted and measured critical boron concentration measured at zero power. The

{

difference between measured boron concentration and adjusted predicted value is used to compare to

, acceptance criterion (150 ppmB).

For Catawba 2 Cycle 8, the hot full power critical boron concentration was measured on December 6,

) .

1995. The measured critical boron concentration was 1259 ppmB. Predicted critical boron concentration was 1270 ppmB; when adjusted for difference at zero power, the adjusted predicted critical boron

concentration was 1263 ppmB. The difference between measured and adjusted predicted critical boron concentration was -4 ppmB, which met the acceptance criterion.

4.5 incore/Excore Calibration .

Excore power range channels are calibrated at full power per PT/0/A/4600/05A, incore/Excore Calibration.

Incore data (flux maps) and power range currents are otAained at various axial power distributions. A least squares fit of the output of each detector (upper and lower chambers) as a function of measured incore axial offset is determined. The slopes and intercepts of the fit for the upper and lower chamber for each channel are used to determine calibration data for that channel.

This test was performed for Catawba 2 Cycle 8 on December 8 and December 9,1995. All power range calibrations were completed on December 9. Eight flux maps, with axial offset ranging from -8.570% to

+3.561% were used. Table 14 summarizes the results. All acceptance criteria were met.

T-Hot Reduction. The purpose of the test was to demonstrate proper plant response, including automatic control system performance, to a

~10% step load change. The test verified that the control systems worked as designed to prevent the following plant transients (in response to a ~10% step load change):

. Turbine Trip

. Actuation of Safety injection

. Pressurizer and Steam Safeties or PORVs Ufting This test satisfied the transient retest as required for the Post Modification Testing for T-Hot Reduction.

This test was performed at ~75% power on December 4,1995. All acceptance criteria for the test were met. Figures 5 through 12 show plant parameters during the test.
