MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (Continued)

The most negative MTC value equivalent to the most positive moderator density coefficient (MDC), was obtained by incrementally correcting the MDC used in the FSAR analyses to nominal operating conditions. These corrections involved subtracting the incremental change in the MDC associated with a core condition of all rods inserted (most positive MOC) to an all rods withdrawn condition and, a conversion for the rate of change of moderator density with temperature at RATED THERMAL POWER conditions. This value of the MDC was then transformed into the limiting MTC value -4.1 x 10 4 ok/k/**. The MTC value of -3.2 x 10

  • ak/k/'F represents a conservative value (with correc-tions for burnup and soluble boron) at a core condition of 300 ppm equilibrium boron concentration and is obtained by making these corrections to the limiting MTC value of -4.1 x 10 4 ok/ k/* F.

The Surveillance Requirements for measurement of the MTC at the beginning

.ind near the end of the fuel cycle are adequate to confirm that the HTC remains within its limits since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup.

1/4.t.1.4 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY Ihis specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical -

with the Reactor C60 tant System average temperature less than 551'F. This limitation is required tu ensure: (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range (2) the trip 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 vessel is above its minimum RT NOT temperature.

1/4.1.2 BORATICN SYSTEMS Ibe Boration Systems ensure that negative reactivity control is available iluring each MODE of facility operation. The components required to perform this lunctinn include: (1) borated water sources, (2) centrifugal charging pumps, ,

( 't) ' epar.it e flow paths (4) boric acid transfer pumps, and (5) an emergency power .upply from OPERABLE diesel generators.

With the RCS temperature below 200'F one Beration' 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 changes in the event the single Boron 1 Injection System becomes inoperable.

The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pu p to be OPERABLE and the Surveillance Requirement to verify all charging pumps except the required OPERABLE pump to be inoperable in MODES 4, 5, and 6 provides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a sing'le PORV or an RHR suction relief valve.

The boron capability required below 200'F is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MRGIN of 1% ok/k af ter xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 1409F. ,

This condition requires either 2968 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the  ;

4 tW SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS EVALUATION FOR '

CALLAWAY CYCLE-4 RELOAD l

I. INTRODUCTION This ovaluation supports Union Electric Company's license amendment request for the Callaway Plant Cycle 4 Reload.

Changes in Cycle 4 which require revision of the Callaway Technical Specifications include increased peaking factors, incorporation of a positive moderator temperature coefficient (PMTC), increased refueling water storage tank (RWST)/ accumulator boron concentrations, and increased spray additive tank (SAT) sodium hydroxide concentration.

Sections II, III and IV of this evaluation discuss cach of l these changes and provido an analysis using,the standards of 10CFR50.92 (i.e., the three factor test).

II. INCREASED PEAKING FACTORS In Cycle 4 Union Electric proposes to increase core peaking factors to allow more flexibility in the fuel management schemes by allowing longer fuel cycles and improvement of I fuel economy and neutron utilization. The limit on the measured nuclear enthalpy risc hot channel factor (F-delta-H) will increase from 1.49 to 1.59 and the limit on i the heat flux hot channel factor (F (z)) will increase from  ;

2.32 to 2.50. Both the F-dolta-H a9d Fg(z) values proposed 1

are consistent with the values used for VANTAGE 5 fuel in I the Cycle 3 Licensing Submittal (Reference, ULNRC-1470 dated 3/31/87). The change in the Technical Specification i

! measured F-delta-H limit from 1.49 to 1.59 is supported by l l current DNB analyses., All DNBR margins and analyses arc as

described in the current callaway Plant Final Safety 1 Analysis Report (FSAR) and are unaffected by this change in F-dcltu-H.

! The chango in the Technical Specification F (z) limit from 2

2.32 to 2.50 has been evaluated to ensure t9at the cladding j l integrity and fuel molting at the "hot spot" are maintained  ;

I within the applicabic safety analysis limits. All safety )

! analyses as described in the current callaway Plant FSAR are l unaffected by this change in F g(z). j

! The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications do not  !

l affect the VANTAGE 5 design / safety bases used in the I VANTAGE 5 Reference Coro Report (WCAP-10444-P-A) or those l

contained in the Callaway reload safety evaluations.

i a) This change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. No changes are involved in accident initiators which would change the probability of an accident. The consequences of previously analyzed accidents remain unchanged sinco all DNBR margins are unaffected.

?

s' b) This change does not create the possibility of a now or different kind of-accident from any accident previously 7 ovaluated. This is besed on the fact that the method and manner ofcplant operation is unchanged.

, c) This chango does not involve a significant reduction in l a margin of safety. This is based on the fact that DNBR margins and safety analyses described in the Callaway Plant FSAR are unaffected,by the changes in F-delta-H and F9(z).

III. _ POSITIVE MODERA'!OR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT This evaluation has been performed to support the proposed

, Technical Specification change for the callaway Plant which l would allow a positive moderator temperature coefficient 1 (PMTC) of +5 pcm/'F to exist at power levels below 70%

nominal rated thermal power, with the maximum positive valuo

decreasing linearly to zero betwoon 70% nominal power and 100% nominal power. The use of PMTC supports reductions in fuel cycle costs by' reducing burnable absorber inventory, particularly for long fuel cycles which require a large number of burnable absorbers to control modcrator temperature coefficient at the beginning of a cycle. The Safety Evaluation performed in aupport of this amendment i request demonstrates that the sa.toty criteria are met for
the proposed PMTC limits.

a) This change does not involve a significant increase in

! the probability or consequences of an accident i previously evaluated. No changes arc involved in

! accident initiators which would change the probability i j of an accident. The consequences of previously

, analyzed accidents remain unchanged because the accidents and transients previously evaluated in the  !

i FSAR which are sensitive to PMTC have been evaluated

. and/or reanalyzed and are not significantly affected by i the proposed change.

i b) This chango does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously 1

cvaluated. This is based on the fact that  !

! implementation of PMTC does not involve any design i l changes to the fuel, reactor coolant system or i

engineered safety features which would create the possibility of a now or different accident than those l l

previously analyzed. i

! l c) This chango does not involve a significant reduction in i i a margin of safety. This is based on the fact that the l l affected safety analyscs have boon evaluated and it has i

! been determined that all applicable safety criteria are met with no significant adverse effects on analysis results.

IV. RWST/ ACCUMULATOR BORON CONCENTRATION AND SAT SODIUM HYDROXIDE CONCENTRATION INCREASES The proposed changes would increase the RWST Technical Specification boron concentration range to 2350 ppm to 2500 ppm, and the accumulator Technical Specification boron concentration range will be increased to 2300 ppm to 2500 ppm. The purpose for the change is to allow for implementation of a positive MTC. In conjunction with these changes, the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the spray additive tank will he increased to a range of 31 to 34 weight percent.

The accident analyses reported in the FSAR were evaluated for the above increased concentrations. The results of the evaluation indicate that there is no adverse offcet on the FSAR results for any of the accident analyses as a result of increasing the RW6T and accumulator boron concentration operating bands nor as a result of increasing the spray additive tank sodium hydroxido concentration operating band.

a) This change does not involvo a significant increase in the probnbility or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. The proposed Technical Specification modifications involve changes in boron and sodium hydroxide concentrations in systems used to mitigate plant accidents and transients. The consequences of accidents and transients previously evaluated in the FSAR, including LOCA and non-LOCA events, have been ovaluated and/or reanalyzed and arc

not significantly affected by the proposed changes.

Iodine retention via the containment spray is assured, thuc offsito dose consequences are unchanged.

b) This change does not create the possibility of a new or

different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed Technical Specification changes would revise boron and sodium hydroxide concentrations in systems used to mitigate plant accidents and transients. No modifications to plant design or operations are associated with the changes with the exception of the operational requirement to switch to hot leg recirculation 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br /> following a LOCA, rather than 18 hours2.083333e-4 days <br />0.005 hours <br />2.97619e-5 weeks <br />6.849e-6 months <br />.

The proposed revisions in boron and sodium hydroxide concentrations affect safety analysis inputs and assumptions. The affected safety analyses have been evaluated and it has been determined that all applicable safety criteria are met with no significant adverse effects on analyses results.

This event is classified as an ANS Condition II incident (a fault of moderate frequency) as defined in Section 15.0.1.

15.4.6.2 bnalysis of_ Effects and Consequqpcos To cover all phases of plant operation, boron dilution during Refueling, Cold Shutdown, Hot Shutdown, Hot Standby, Start-up, and Power modes of operation is considered in this analysis.

Conservative values for necessary parameters were used, i.e.,

high RCS critical boron concentrations, high boron worths, minimum shutdown margins, and lower than actual RCS volumes.

These assumptions result in conservative determinations of the time available for operator or system response after detection of a dilution transient in progress.

Dilution _During_ Refueling An uncontrolled boron dilution transient cannot occur during this mode of operation. Inadvertent dilution is prevented by administrative controls which isolate the RCS from the poten-tial source of unborated water. Valves BG-V-178 and BG-V-601 (or BG-V-602) in the CVCS will be locked closed during refuel-ing operations. These valves block all flow paths that could allow unborated makeup water to reach the RCS, Any makeup which is required during refueling will be borated water supplied from the RWST by the RHR pumps, pilution_ During, Cold _ Shutdown The following conditions are asaumed for inadvertent boron dilution while in this operating mode

a. Dilution flow is limited by a flow orifice in the RMWS to 150 gpm of unberated water,
b. An RCS water volume of 3400 ft' This is a cotiserva-tive estimate of the minimum active volume of the RCS and corresponds to the water level drained to mid-nozzle in the vessel while on one train of RHR.
c. All control rods (RCCAs) fully inserted, which is the normal condition in cold shutdown, and a critical boron concentration (Cn) o f 4* eta ppm . This is a con- l servative C with contl'ol rods i iserted and even allows for khe most reactive ro to be fully withdrawn. (gy Rev. OL-2 15.4-23 6/88

This mode of operation is a transitory operational mode in which the operator intentionally dilutes and withdraws control rods to take the plant critical. During this mode, the plant is in manual control with the operator required to maintain a very high awareness of the plant status. For a normal approach to criticality, the operator must manually initiate a limited dilution and subsequently manually withdraw the control rods, a process that takes several hours. The Technical specifications require that the operator determine the estimated critical position of the cor, trol rods prior to approaching criticality, thus assuring that the reactor does not go critical with the control rods below the insertion limits. Once critical, the power escalation must be sufficiently slow to allow the operator to manually block the source range reactor trip after receiving P-6 from the intermediate range (nominally at 10' cps). Too fast a power escalation (due to an unknown dilution) would result in reaching P-6 unexpectedly, leaving insufficient time to manually block the source range reactor trip. Fa' lure to perform this manual action results in a reactor t.ip and immediate shutdown of the reactor.
