. e t FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 DOCKET NO. 50-302/ LICENSE NO. DPR-72 REQUEST NO.135, REVISION O SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION REQUEST:

Florida Power Corporation requests issuance of an amendment to Crystal River Unit 3 Technical Specifications for Fuel Cycle VI reload. The significant aspects of Cycle VI reload report (attached) include:

1. Use of cross flow methods in the thermal-hydraulic analysis.

2. A fuel cycle length of 425 1 10 EFPD.

3. Use of gray (inconel) axial power shaping rods during Cycle VI.

4. Use of Batch 8 fuel with an enrichment of 3.49 WT % U 235.

SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION:

(X) Amendment involves no significant hazards considerations.

() Amendment involves significant hazards considerations.

BASIS FOR DETERMINATION:

This amendment is not likely to involve a significant hazards consideration because it is a core reload that is not significantly different from previous core reloads (see Example lii of Federal Register 14864, April 6,1983). No significant changes have been made to the acceptance criteria for these Technical Specifications. A new analytical method, Noodle Code, was used to determine core physics parameters.

This code has been used by other utilities and found acceptable.

o i 2.1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 REACTOR CORE The restrictions of this safety limit prevent overheating of the fuel cladding and possible cladding perforation which would result -in the release of fission products to the reactor coolant. Overheating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the heat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface temperature is slightly above the coolant saturation temperature.

Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate bolling regime would result in excessive cladding ' temperature because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer coefficient. DNB Is not a directly measurable parameter during ' operation and, therefore, THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temperature and Pressure have been related to DNB through the BAW-2 DNB correlation.

The DNB correlation has been developed to predict the DNB flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux distributions. The local DNS heat flux ratio,

. DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is indicative of the margin to DNB.

The ' minimum value of the DNBR during steady state operation, normal operational transients, and anticipated transients is limited to 1.30. This value corresponds to a 95 percent probability at a 95 percent confidence level that DNB will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DNB for all operating conditions.

The curve presented in Figure 2.1-1 represents the conditions at which a DNBR of 1.30 or greater is predicted for the maximum possible thermal power 112% when the reactor l coolant flow is 139.7 x 106 lbs/hr, which is 106.5% of the design flow rate for four operating l

reactor coolant pumps. This curve is based on the following nuclear power peaking factors

[ with potential fuel densification effects:

F = 2.82 F ~ * "

dH i The design limit power peaking factors are the most restrictive calculated at full power for the range from all control . rods - fully withdrawn to minimum allowable control rod withdrawal, and form the core DNBR design basis.

l I-l CRYSTAL RIVER - UNIT 3 B 2-1 L.-

p SAFETY LIMITS The reactor trip envelope appears to approach the safety limit more closely tnan it actually does because the reactor trip pressures are measured at a location where the indicated . pressure is about 30 psi less than core outlet pressure, providing a more conservative margin to the safety limit.

The curves of Figure 2.1-2 are based on the more restrictive of two thermal limits and account for the effects of potential fuel densification and potential fuel rod bow:

1. The 1.30 DNBR limit produced by a nuclear power peaking factor of F N - 2.82 l or the combination of the radial peak, axial peak and position of the axkl peak that yields no less than a 1.30 DNBR.

2. The combination of radial and axial peak that causes central fuel melting at -

the hot spot. The limit is 20.5 kw/f t. I Power peaking is not a directly observable quantity and therefore limits have been established or, the basis of the reactor power imbalance produced by the power peaking.

The specified flow rates for curves I and 2 of Figure 2.1-2 correspond to the expected minimum flow rates with four pumps and three pumps respectively.

The curve of Figure 2.1-1 is the most restrictive of all possible reactor coolant pump-maximum thermal power combinations shown in BASES Figure 2.1. The curves of BASES Figure 2.1 represent the conditions at which a minimum DNBR of 1.30 is predicted at the maximum possible thermal power for the number of reactor coolant pumps in operation.

These curves include the potential effects of fuel rod bow and fuel densification.

The DNBR as calculated by the BAW-2 DNB correlation continually increases from point of minimum DNBR, so that the exit DNBR is always higher. Extrapolation of the correlation beyond its published quality range of 22% is justified on the basis of experimental data.

LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS i BASES RCS Outlet Temperature - High The RCS Outlet Temperature High trip less than or equal to 618.80F prevents the reactor outlet temperature from exceeding the design limits and acts as a backup trip for all power excursion transients.

Nuclear Overpower Based on RCS Flow and AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE The power level trip setpoint produced by the reactor coolant system flow is based on a flux-to-flow ratio which has been established to accommodate flow decreasing transients from high power.

The power level trip setpoint produced by the power-to-flow ratio provides both high power level and low flow protection in the event the reactor power level increases or l the reactor coolant flow rate decreases. The power level setpoint produced by the power-to-flow ratio provides overpower DNB protection for all modes of pump operation. For every flow rate there is a maximum permissible power level, and for every power level there is a minimum permissible low flow rate. Typical power level and low flow rate combinations for the pump situations of Table 2.2-1 are as follows:

1. Trip would occur when four reactor coolant pumps are operating if power is greater than or equal to 108% and reactor flow rate is 100%, or flow rate is i less than or equal to 95.88% and power level is 100%. I

2. Trip would occur when three reactor coolant pumps are operating if power is greater than or equal to 80.67% and reactor flow rate is 74.7%, or flow rate is less than or equal to 69.44% and power is 75%.

For safety calculations the maximum calibration and instrumentation errors for the power level were used.

The AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE boundaries are established in order to prevent reactor thermal limits from being exceeded. These thermal limits are either power peaking kw/ft limits or DNBR limits. The AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE reduces the power level trip.

produced by the flux-to-flow ratio such that the boundaries of Figure 2.2-1 are produced.

The flux-to-flow ratio reduces the power level trip and associated reactor power-reactor power-imbalance boundaries by 1.08% for a 1% flow reduction. l.

RCS Pressure - Low, High, and Variable Low The High and Low trips are provided to limit the pressure range in which reactor operation is permitted.

During a slow reactivity insertion startup accident from low power or a slow reactivity insertion from high power, the RCS Pressure-High setpoint is reached before the Nuclear Overpower Trip Setpoint. The trip setpoint for RCS Pressure-High, 2300 psig, has been established to maintain the system pressure below the safety limit, 2750 psig, for any-design transient. The RCS Pressure-High trip is backed up by the pressurizer code safety valves for RCS over pressure protection is therefore, set lower than the set pressure for these valves, 2500 psig. The RCS Pressure-High trip also backs up the Nuclear Overpower trip.

The RCS Pressure-Low,1800 psig, and RCS Pressure-Variable low,(11.59 Tout F -5037.8) -

psig, Trip Setpoints have been established to maintain the DNB ratio greater than or equal to 1.30 for those design accidents that result in a pressure reduction. It also prevents reactor operation at pressures below the valid range of DNS correlation limits, protecting against DNB.

Due to the calibration and instrumentation errgrs, the safety analysis used a RCS Pressure-Variable Low Trip Setpoint of (11.59 Tout F -5077.8) psig.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.1.4 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant system average temperature less than 525 0F. This limitation is required to ensure that (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range, (2) the protective instrumentation is within its normal operating range,(3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and (4) the reactor pressure vessel is above its minimum RTNDT temperature.

3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS The boron injection system ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to perform this function include (1) borated water sources, (2) makeup or DHR pumps, (3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid pumps, (5) associated heat tracing systems, and (6) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE emergency busses.

With the RCS average temperature above 2000F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the systems inoperable. Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that minor component repair or corrective-action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period.

The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from all operating conditions of 1.0% A k/k after xenon decay and cooidown to 2000F. The maximum boration capability requirement occurs from full power equilibrium xenon conditions and requires either 4,980 gallons of 11,600 ppm

boric acid solution from the boric acid storage tanks or 35,681 gallons of 2,270 ppm borated water from the borated water storage tank.

The requirements for a minumum contained volume of 415,200 gallons of borated water in the borated water storage tank ensures the capability for borating the RCS to the desired level. The specified quantity of borated water is consistent with the ECCS requirements of Specification 3.5.4. Therefore, the larger volume of borated water is specified. Also the 6,000 gallons minimum BAST requirement per l Specification 3.1.2.9 is conservative for this cycle.

With the RCS temperature below'2000F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.

The boron capability required below 200oF is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.0% A k/k after xenon decay and cooldown from 200oF to 1400F. This condition requires either 390 gallons of 11,600 ppm boron from the boric acid storage system or 1,990 gallons of 2,270 ppm boron from the borated water storage tank. To envelop future cycle BWST and BAST contained borated water volume requirements, a minimum volumes of 13,500 gallons and 600 gallons, respectively are specified.

3/4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES The specifications of this section provide assurance of fuel integrity during Condition I (Normal Operation) and II (Incidents of Moderate Frequency) events by: (a) maintaining the minimum DNBR in the core 21.30 during normal operation and during short term transients, (b) maintaining the peak linear power density g 18.0 kW/ft during normal operation, and (c) maintaining the peak power density g 20.5 kW/ft during short term transients. In addition,.the above criteria must be met in order to meet the assumptions used for the loss-of-coolant accidents.

The power-imbalance envelope defined in Figures 3.2-1, 3.2-la, 3.2-2, and 3.2-2a and the insertion limit curves, Figures 3.1-1, 3.1-la, 3.1-2, 3.1-3, 3.1-3a, 3.1-4, 3.1-9, and 3.1-10 are based on LOCA analyses which have defined the maximum linear heat rate such that the maximum clad temperature will not exceed the Final Acceptance Criteria of 22000F following a LOCA. Operation outside of the power-imbalance envelope alone does not constitute a .Jtuation that would cause the Final Acceptance Criteria to be exceeded should a LOCA occur. The power-imbalance envelope represents the boundary of operation limited by the Final Acceptance Criteria only if the control rods are at the insertion limits, as defined by Figures 3.1-1, 3.1-la, 3.1-2, 3.1-3, 3.1-3a, 3.1-4, 3.1-9, and 3.1-10, and if the steady state limit QUADRANT POWER TILT exists. Additional conservatism is introduced by application of:

a. Nuclear uncertainty factors.

b. Thermal calibration uncertainty.

c. Fuel densification effects.

d. Hot rod manufacturing tolerance factors.

The conservative application of the above peaking augmentation factors compensates for the potential peaking penalty due to fuel rod blow.

The ACTION statements which permit limited variations from the basic requirements are accompanied by additional restrictions which ensure that the original criteria are met.

The definitions of the design limit nuclear power peaking factors as used in these specifications are as follows:

FQ Nuclear Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor,is defined as the maximum local fuel rod linear power density divided by the average fuel rod linear power density, assuming nominal fuel. pellet and rod dimensions.

POWER DISTRIBUTION' LIMITS BASES N Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the ratio of the F

AH integral of linear power along the rod on which minimum DNBR occurs to the average rod power.

It has been determined by extensive analysis of possible operating power shapes that the design limits on nuclear power peaking and on minimum DNBR at full power are met, provided:

Fq 4 3.13; F H S 1*7l Power Peaking is not a directly observable quantity and therefore limits have been established on the bases of the AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE produced by the power peaking. It has been determined that the above hot channel factor limits will be met provided the following conditions are maintained.

1. Control rods in a single group move together with no individual rod insertion differing by more than 3 6.5% (indicated position) from the group average height.

2. Regulating rod groups are sequenced with overlapping groups as required in Specification 3.1.3.6.

3. The regulating rod insertion limits of Specification 3.1.3.6 and the axial power shaping rod insertion limits of Specification 3.1.3.9 are maintained.

4. AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE limits are maintained. The AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE is a measure of the difference in power between the top and bottom halves of the core. Calculations of core average axial peaking factors for many plants and measurements from operating plants under a variety of operating conditions have been correlated with AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE. The correlation shows that the design power shape is not exceeded if the AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE is maintained within the limits of Figures 3.2-1, 3.2-la, 3.2-2, and 3.2.2a.

The design limit power peaking factors are the most restrictive calculated at full power for the range from all control rods fully withdrawn to minimum allowable control rod insertion and are the core DNBR design basis. Therefore, for operation at a fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER, the design limits are met. When using incore detectors to make power distribution maps to determine FQ and FNH:

a. The measurement of total peaking factor, FQMeas, shall be increased by 1.4 percent to account for manufacturing tolerances and further increased by 7.5 percent to account for measurement error.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES

b. The measurement of enthalpy rise hot channel factor, Fyg, shall be increased by 5 percent to account for measurement error.

For Condition II events, the core is protected from exceeding 20.5 kW/ft locally, and from l going below a minimum DNBR of 1.30 by automatic protection on power, AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE, pressure and temperature. Only conditions I through 3, above, are mandatory since the AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE is an explicit input to the Reactor Protection System.

The QUADRANT POWER TILT limit assures that the radial power distribution satisfies the design values used in the power capability analysis. Radial power distribution measurements are made during startup testing and periodically during power operation.

For QUADRANT POWER TILT, the safety (measurement independent) limit for Steady State is 4.49, for Transient State is 11.07, and for the Maximum Limit is 20.0.

The QUADRANT POWER TILT limit at which corrective action is required provides DNB and linear heat generation rate protection with x-y plane power tilts. The limit was selected to provide an allowance for the uncertainty associated with the power tilt. In the event the tilt is not corrected, the margin for uncertainty on FQ si reinstated by reducing the power by 2 percent for each percent of tilt in excess of the limit.

3/4.2.5 DNB PARAMETERS The limits on the DNB related parameters assure that each of the parameters are maintained within the normal steady state envelope of operation assumed in the transient and accident analyses. The limits are consistent with the FSAR initial assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain a DNBR of 1.30 or greater throughout each analyzed transient.

The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months periodic surveillance of these parameters through instrument readout is sufficient to ensure that the parameters are restored within their limits following load changes and other expected transient operation. The 18 month periodic measurement of i the RCS total flow rate is adequate to detect flow degradation and ensure correlation of the flow indication channels with measured flow such that the indicated percent flow will provide sufficient verification of flow rate on a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months basis.

3/4.7.1.1 SAFETY VALVES The OPERABILITY of the main steam line code safety valves ensures that the secondary

- system pressure will be limited to within its design pressure of 1050 psig during the most severe anticipated system operational transient. The maximum relieving capacity is associated with a turbine trip from 100% RATED THERMAL POWER coincident with an assumed loss of condenser heat sink (i.e., no steam bypass to the condenser).

The specified valve' lift settings and relieving capacities are in accordance with the requirements of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,1971 Edition. The total relieving capacity for all valves on all of the steam lines is 13,007,774 lbs/hr which is 118.3 percent of the total secondary steam flow of 11.0 x 106 lbs/hr at 100% RATED THERMAL POWER.

STARTUP and/or POWER OPERATION is allowable with safety valves inoperable within the limitations of the ACTION requirements on the basis of the reduction in secondary system steam flow and THERMAL POWER required by the reduced reactor trip settings of the Nuclear Overpower channels. The reactor trip setpoint reductions are derived on the following bases:

SP = X-AY x NOTS XI where: SP = reduced Nucelar Overpower Trip Setpoint in percent of Rated Thermal Power.

X = total actual relieving capacity of each steam generator in Ibs/hr (6,503,887 lbs/hr).

A = maximum number of inoperable safety valves per steam generator.
