Response to Question ii-3 1

This phenomena is ranked lower in the Westinghouse PIRT as compared to the LANL i

' PlRT. There were two elements to the LANL rational for the ranking of this item from page 64 of the LANL report, " Multidimensional effects in the core enhance the heat transfer by supplying more water to the high powered bundles below the quench front" .

We agree with this part of the statement and is one reason that the low powered

! regions are modeled as a separate channelin the WCOBRA/ TRAC PWR model. The l quench front is uniform across the core such that the lower powered bundles quench at about the same time as the high powered bundles, and there is cross flow into the hot assembly from the adjacent, lower powered assemblies BELOW the quench front.

i LANL also says in the same sentence on page 64, "and more entrained water in the l

liquid deficient region" We do not agree that there is more water entrained into the hot 1 assembly from the adjacent assemblies ABOVE the quench front which is what the i LANL statement implies.

Therefore, we ranked this item as a "5" , but did consider it important enough that we modeled multiple channels in the reactor to capture this three-dimensional behavior.

Response to Question 2a The calculated PCTs are significantly below the threshold for significant zire/ water reaction which can influence the resulting PCT However, the methodology which is used to calculated the AP600 PCT is the same as that used for the three and four loop plants. Therefore, the uncertainty of the zirc/ water reaction and its effects will be calculated in the " hot spot" calculations; however, since the PCTs are expected to be so low, the impact of the uncertainties and the zirc/ water reaction are expected to be negligible.

! 12. The following questions relate to Section 4.4.

}

a. Table 4.41: Has the Westinghouse grid deformation analysis been approved '

by the NRC7 If not, will Westinghouse commit to addressing grid deformation if the NRC review results in this becoming a concem for the AP600? For mixed cores, how will Westinghouse address mixed cores if they are used in AP600 in the future?

Since seismic loads are a altem speclSc parameter, M le dlMicult to assens l their impact at this time, The structural and mechanicalintearitv of the fuel as l evaluated Ibr each fuel cycle. In the event luel grkt dehormation becomes a concern W e proposed AP600 site, Wendnghouse wlR address No impact on the large break LOCA analysia, W Westinghouse hool of a dHFerent design or another vendor's luelis pieced into AP000 in the hoture, an evaluation wHI be perkmed of the mhred core; the evaluation wHI consider any dHFarences in the dimensions, hydrauNc renietencee and burnup eMincin between the fuel types to be loaded.

b. Westinghouse identifled power shapes (PSs) 2, 3, 4 and 11 as the PSs it would evaluate from the RMR to determine the limiting PS for AP600. Jusdfy the basis for selecting these PSs as the ones to study the AP600. Could the 4 excellent blowdown cooling for the AP600 cause the limiting axial power shape (s) to change for AP600 relative to the 3-/4 loop plants? Also, Westinghouse has an approach to ider*fy limiting axial power shapes to meet ,

Appendix K, item I.A. Does this approach have any applicability for AP6007 Justify your answer.

The W4 loop power shapen were established to be bounding for aW Westinghouse core designs, and they are bounding har A9000 as well To

.. horther demonstrate the Nmiting nature of power shapen 2, 3, 4 and 11 line AP600, a bottom ekewed power shape case wee also earecuted and shown to be nor>llmMing.

Bob Vijuk NRC is requested to please acknowledge receipt of information related to each of the following Open Items. These are a subset of the items with " Action W" in "NRC Status" for which I have personally i checked, since the first of the year, that we have submitted what we believe is the resolving l

, information. Unlike those on the other list I will send you today, I have not prepared a background )

package for each of these. However, the reviewer in each case should have a submittal from

{ Westinghouse as identified in OITS for the item. Recognizing that reviewing for completeness of the response in each cace constitutes an NRC action, we recommend that receipt acknowledgement be accompanied by d ution to change their "NRC Status" to " Action N" If these are truly " Action W", please provide a description of the action Westinghouse is expected to take. We know of no action required. This is the seventh weekly request of this type. Many of these are very (over 6 months) old. We are not asking for resolution or even NRC review at this time, just acknowledgement that you have received the information as outlined in the OITS Status Detail if j your investigation shows I goofed and didn't remove item numbers that I should have, please let me know.

113008. This is due to the fact that all combustibles are at the extreme ends of these Art zones and are separated by more than 40 feet. There will be no rammunication of a fire (km one fire zone to S the other. Other examples include fire monas 1100 AF 11301 and 1100 AF 11302 which are open at ,
