!. Introduction and Problem Background This report sumarizes the results of B&W Task 407 - Re-Analysis of AFW Minimum Required Flow Rate for Rancho Seco. The de sire by the District to reduce the amount of time spent by the AFW pumps in the runout con-dition led to a proposed reduction in the minimum required AFW flow rate at Rancho Seco. B&W examined the effects of these modifications upon 'the plant prim'ary system following a loss of main feedwater (LOMFW) event.
II. Analytical Methods and Acceptance Criteria B&W utilized the CA005 computer code to detemine the sensitivity of the reactor coolant system to changes in key auxiliary feedwater system para-meters during a LOMFW transient. The specific parameters of interest were the time delay to initiate AFW flow and the flow rate itself. The CADDS code analyzes reactor transients in a heterogeneous pressurized water reactor. It solves the time-dependent neutron kinetics equations in conjunction.with a thermal-hydraulic solution for an average fuel pin which simulates the reactor core. The reactor model is coupled to a simulationofthereactorcoolantloop(hotleg,steamgenerator, cold leg, and reactor core) and the pressurizer.' A region-averaged model of each portion of the loop is utilized to determine the temperature response in the loop, which in turn contributes to the pressurizer model. In the particular version of CA005 used for this analysis, the heat transfer from the primary to the secondary system is detemined by inputting the steam generator heat demand to the secondary side as a function of time.
Key parameters utilized in CADDS for this ' analysis include the following (Table 1).

It was originally intended to run six transient cases as specified by the District and report the results of each case herein. During the course of the evaluation, however, it was observed that a particular characteristic of CADDS impacted the results in the non-conservative direction. This characteristic is the lack of ability to input a constant value of RC' pump power versus time after reactor trip. Since RC pump power respresents a considerable fraction of the total heat that must be removed by. auxiliary feedwater following reactor trip, th'e CA005 results were corrected to account for this phenomenon using Y smsll program called RCPPOWER. Rather than making this correction to all thi CADDS cases, .it was decided that the 5
best course would be to determine th4 minimum acceptable AFW flow rate for two situations: with and without anticipatory reactor trip. The attached figures of reactor coolant system average temperature and pressurizer level (measured from the bottom of the pressurizer) are corrected to account for the additional RC pump power that must be removed (16 MW). Note that the peaks of the corrected Tave and Lpzr do not occur at the same time. This i.
due to RCPPOWER predicting a Ptr level change that is approximately twice the change predicted by CADDS for a given change in Tave. Since RCpP0WER
-cale:.tates increases in Pzr level due to the added 16 MW of pump heat, this is conservative for this analysisy The cause of the phase shift introduced by.RCPPOWER is discussed in Appendix 0.
For situations with and without anticipatory reactor trip, 560 gpm is the minimum AFW flow rate that will satisfy the required acceptance criteria.
Note'that 500 gpM wi,11 not satisfy the requirements since the pressurizer I
will go solid. The results reflect a 20 percent conservatism in the decay heat niodel (ANS5.1). Although an AFW flow rate of 560 gpm will avoid '
l filling'the pressurizer, level indication will be lost. (Levelindication is lost at 34.59 ft. as measured from the pressurizer bottom.)

i 1
When the CADDS output data was corrected to account for the heat added to the RCS !
by the RC pumps, a phase shift was introduced. This phase shift causes the peaks l
of the corrected RCS Tave curve and the corrected PZR level curve to occur at different times, even .though the CADDS curves had no such phase shift. The root cause of this phase shift is due to an overprediction (when compared to CADDS) of I
'the response of PZR level to a given change in RCS Tave by RCP0WER. The equatior..
used by RC9 POWER have been checked and the results have been verified with hand calculations. The discrepancy is due to the simplified model used by RCPPOWER.
In any case, the overprediction is conservative in this analysis.
The cause of the phase shift can be illustrated by examination of the 800-900 second period of the 500 gpm case. The pertinent CADDS data is given in the following table:
Time Tave Lpzr 800 591.3 28.81 900 588.7 28.22 The CADOS temperature response was corrected by first interpolating in a proper-ties table for the uncorrected enthalpy and specific volume. then .using the speci-fic volume to calculate the mass of water in the RCS (excluding the pressurizer).
l This mass, the enthalpy, and the time since reactor trip were then used to calcu-late a corrected enthalpy, and thereby a corrected temperature. The correction applied at 800 seconds caused an increase in Tave of 19.2 F, and at 900 seconds v increase o"f 21.65 F. The pump power therefore causes the RCS Tave to increase 2.45 F in 100 seconds. The CADDS output, which accounts for everything but the pump power, predicts a decrease of 2.6 F in Tave from 800 to 900 seconds. The net change in Tave, with' all effects considered, is therefore 2.45 - 2.6 = -0.15 F.
This is reflected in the output from RCPPOWER, which is given below:

Tir.e Tave Lpzr 800 6i0.5 41.13 900 610.35 42.20 1
The CADDS PZR level response was corrected by suming the calculated changes for each time interval. In any 100 second interval, the correction to PZR level is approximately 1.66 ft (it varies slightly due to variations in the partial deriva-tivedv'Nh). The calculation assumed a constant pressurizer temperatur out the event.
The PZR level correction is practically constant since energy is being added to the RCS at a constant rate. Thle CADDS output predicts a drop of 0.59 ft in PZP. level frem 800 to 900 seconds. Adding the 1.66 ft rise due to the pomp power, the net. change in PZR level is +1.07 ft. The results of.the 1
, corrections to PZR level are shown above. 1 The different response predicted by the simplified " bulb-and-tube" model used in t r 1 RCPPOWER is ' summarized in the following table:
Source Chance in Tave 4
Chance in Lorr Tave/ Lorr l CA005 -2.6 F -0.59 ft 4.407 F/ft RCPP0WER +2.45 +1.66 1.476 Sum of above -0.15 +1.07 --
This table shows how RCPPOWER predicts that it' requires much less change in tem-perature to produce a one foot change in PZR level. The fact that RCPPOWER gives a rise of 1,66 ft fcr a 2.45 F temperature change, and that CA005 give a drop of only 0.59 ft for approximately the same temperature change is the source of the l phase shift. in the corrected curves.
