Docket No. 50-263 Karl Goller, Assistant Director for Operating Reactors, RL MONTICELLO - PROPOSED TECH. SPEC. CHANGES TO INCORPORATE GETAB/GEXL (TAR-1516)

Plant Name: Monticello Docket No.: 50-263 Responsible Branch and Project Leader: ORB-2, B. Buckley Technical Review Branch Involved:

Reactor Systemt, Review Status: Additional Information Required i

The Monticello technical specification changes required to change i

from Hench-Levy to GETAB/GEXL thermo-hydraulic limits have been reviewed by the Reactor Systems Branch. Additional information is required to evaluate _ the acceptability of the changes.

The required additional information is identified in the enclosure.

1.

The APRM flux scram trip setting equation isLthe same as that given for 7 x 7 geometry using the Hench-Levy CHF correlation.-

l

- The APRM trip setting equations should probably be changed to

l

- be consistent with the;new GEXL/GETAB Analysis < as was-done for =

Quad Cities.

Either provide the new form with justification

~

1 i

for its constants or justify retaining the old form and constants with the new GEXL/GETAB Analysis.

4 Also,- the. APRM flux scram trip. setting-equation for the 8 x-8 fuel is different from that given for 7 x 7 fuel.

Explain the difference.

i-2.

Does the relative bundle to bundle power-distribution used in the GETAB statistica1{ analysis for-Monticello remain fixed j

throughout the analysis? If _ not, how does it ' vary, and why?

If yes, show that the peak radial power-factor used is the maximum obtainable during the cycle.-
