> '10.t Local Rod Withdrawal Error (With Limiting Instrument Failure) AOO Summary

~ Rod withdrawal error (RWE) is analyzed in GE Licensing Report, Extended lead Line Limit and ARTS Im-r ' pmvement Pwgram Analysesfor Cooper Nuclear Station Cycle 14, NEDC .R 892P, Revision 1, May 1991. l 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 new fuel design.The results obtained verified that the existing ARTS limits are still valid for this cycle.

11. Cycle MCPR Values3 In agreement with commitments to the NRC (letter from M. A. Smith to the Document Control Desk,10CFR Part 21, Reportable Condition, Safety Umit MCPR Evaluation, May 24,1996) a cyc1e-specific Safety Limit MCPR calculation was performed, and has been reported in both the Safety Limit MCPR and Operating Limit l MCPR shown below. His cycle specific SLMCPR was determined using the analysis basis documented in GESTAR with the following exceptions:
1. The actual core loading was analyzed. I
2. The actual bundle parameters (e.g., local peaking) were used.
3. The full cycle exposuir range was analyzed.

14. Control Rod Dmp 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-240ll-P-A-13-US, August 1996. CNS implemented the BPWS into the Rod Wonh Minimizer (RWM) as documented in License Amendment No.117. 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. Pfefferlen

.. (GE), Acceptancefor Referencing ofLicensing Topical Report NEDE-24011, Rev. 6, Amendment 8, Thennal Hydraulic Stability Amendment to GESIAR 11, April 24,1985.

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

I 4, includes a 0 00 penalty due to vanable water gap R-factor uncertainty.

l 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-<ycle 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 LFWH event.

For Cycle 18, the Inadvertent HPCI analysis was shown to be bounded by the LFWH event. This was done by showing the core inlet subcooling due to feedwater temperature reduction from HPCI plus the core inlet subcooling due to excess feedwater from HPCI is less than the core inlet subcooling for the LFWH event.

Appendix C SRV Tolerance' Analysis De limiting overpressure event for Cooper is the main steam isolation valve closure with fiax scram (MSIVF). De Cycle 18 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 18 reload is 1244 psig.

An SRV tolerance analysis was previously completed and reported in Reference C-1. To demonstrate the applicability of Referen~ C-1 results to Cycle 18, 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 1304 psig at the vessel bottom, which is significantly below the vessel overpressure limit of 1375 4 psig. Thus, the Cycle 18 Upper limit case meets the ASME code requirement for the overpressure protection. j This evaluation demonstrates compliance to vessel overpressure limits for Cycle 18 with the upper limit SRV  ;

pressure. Bus, the applicabihty of Reference C-1 can be extended to Cycle 18. {

One Turbine Bypass Valve Out of Service In order to support continued operation of Cooper Nuclear Station with the possibility that one bypass valve may be unavailable, the turbine bypass valve (BPV) out of service operation was evaluated, ne objective of this evaluation was to calculate the MCPR for the limiting event with one BPV unavailable and determine whether the calculated MCPR specified for the most limiting event for Cycle 18 is affected.

The efrect ofone BPV unavailable is to reduce the pressure relief capability in the early part of a pressurization l

event (i.e., before the relief and safety valves can open) and thus result in an increase in the ACPR. The i limiting pressurization events that are atslyzed on a cycle-specific basis for Cooper are the turbine trip without bypass, the load reject without bypass, and the feedwater controller failure events. The turbine trip without bypass and the load reject w;;hout bypass events are not affected by one BPV being unavailable because the analyses do not take credit for any BPV's being available. Therefore, only the feedwater controller failure event (FWCF) was analyzed.

De same conditions that were used for the Cycle 18 reload analysis for the FWCF were used, except that one f BPV was assumed to be unavailable. End c' Cycle 18 conditions were used as these are the most stringent. j A conservative representation for the BPV opening characteristic was assumed. Both Option A and Option l B scram conditions were analyzed and the results are provided below. Figure D-1 shows the reactor response for the FWCF event with one BPV unavailable.

With one BPV unavailable, the MCPRs are as follows:
