fl-IlW f27-oo Limnaian Analysis '

Se requirements for ICCA models and acceptable analyses results are as specified in 10Cm50 Apperdix K and 10cm50.46. Se BCG sust be abown to confom to the acceptance criteria. Mr this reason, conser**atiw and bounding asmaptions are requi. red of various plant praeters, and sensitivity studies are prformed j to determine offlects of other plant praeters on ECG perforsance.  :

1 Serefore, it is entirely possible that f.be assuptions used for licensing calculations may not accurately reproduce plant oprations and setpoints.

Bowever, these asstaptions should regesent possible oprating conditions in a 1 conservative and bounding manner. Realistic and best estinate analyses are  !

prfocned for reasons other than demonstrating conformance of the EG to the ~  !

acceptance criteria of 10Cs50.46 (i.e. AEG verification).

l j

Se evaltation of the aforementioned analyses, as concams the asstaptions l differences, was perforned in visw of the licanning reguirments as just explained i Q2ERAL DISCUSSION ,

Se four areas of asamption differences are discussed in general as concems EECCA licensing calculatims.

Low Pressure Reactor Trio Setpoint

, Se current analysis setpoint is 190'0 psia which is tased on the Tech setpoint less errors. All analyses irrestigated herein use this se eacept BNt-10075A, asy. I and the CF Line Break which used a setpoint of 2065 pata. Se Davis-sesse FSAR, Qiapter 6 states that 2050 psig is the meiable pressure-taperature trip setpoint. The variable IW setpoint is considered a naninal value that could be used for analysis. Mr SECCA lican analyses, the loss d offsite power is asamed coincident with reactor tr mitil reador trip occurs the ac ptaps and the .Mrw pumps are still oprational.

Berefore, 5 heat removal at full pcwer is maintained and a heat generation, heat renoval balance occurs. Although 1900 paia is more consorsative, it abould not have a sigiificant impet due to thin 5 balance effect.

E Availability l

The analyses reviewed modeled the availability of toth s's, the one loop models assuned twice the heat transfer area in the one 5 to dfset the model limitations. E!DCA licensing analyses assam a loss of offsite pcuer, IOCP, coincident with reador trip. Se worst single failure criteria then assmas the unavailability of -one diesel generator. Base asamptions limit the BCG +

anilable for core cooling. In the Davis Besse plait the diesel fallire also j results in the inability to feed one 5, as one AN contml valve will resin closed and the APW syste is not cross-conneded. Berefore', the DuriNiesse plant will only have APW available to supply one 5, however both generators will have inventory available for heat transfer until dryout. Berefore, the '

issue is the effect of M heat transfer after APW actuation and asymetric prformance. A review of available literature including licensing calculations 1

l

51- ll W G7-%

.o has detersdned that sG availability is not a esfety issue and the sacrosente effects on these transients will be negli e. Specifically, the ' Blue BocP, auf. 5, analyzes asymmetric sG effects symmetric so analyses. Concerning SG heat Movides results that are similar to transfer via AM, the influence on transient results is a function of break size. -

~

per most sauX1's, area greater than .52 ft2 (Raf. 4), the SG's are notf needed to demonstrate e<= +41e BCt3 performance.

In general, etcCh's are cssmble of depressurizing the als sus that a . negative tagerature between the giary and secon&ry sides of the 83, and the 83' gradient s act as aexista heat source. Analyses (Def. 7) demonstrate that reverse SG heat trander has a negligible effect on tock transients. Sherefore, the nater of SG's andelled, or the equivalent effect through feedwater supply or increased heat trander area, would have a negligible impact on these analyses results.

Certain size SBux2's (area of apgozinately .01 ft )2 do exhibit the need for SG heat transfer after AN actuation. For these SUX1's the neber of SG's is not inportant so long as adequate condensing surface is available. Before any core uncovering occurs, the plant desip .is sud that the acs levels aust decrease to where stem exists in the primary side SG tube region. Condensation (M cooling) will occur if AM is injecting or a secon&ty side pool leel of sufficient hel$t is established. 1he result is primary side possure control to appoximately the SG stessure (- 1000 cooling throu$ ECC3 (BPI) prformance. pai), which then guarantees long term Minima values for AN ficw and 5 pool levels, toth affect heat transfer ares, have teen etermined for the Bei desiped plants (Raf. 4 and 10). D4. specific calculations, Raf. 4, conclude i

that adequate best transfer will be obtained fra a three foot Iwel in both s's  ;

(equivalant to the heat transfer area of a six fbot level in only one SG). the  :

heat transfer aren associated with a SG secondary pool hei@t of 3 ft (in each SG) will recove all the core decay heat gior to core uncovering.

t If the available pool hei$t is increased then the heat trander area for M cooling has also been increased. She effect will be to ywide heat tresser  !

earlier as the N3 won't have to drain to the lower pool M t. However, the transient respanse will be basically unchanged with the esc @eption af +4=4*

Cnce H cooling is established, ginary side gessure decreases and is controlled naar the seconery side sturation gessure and the EPIS is asable of maintaining N3 liquid inventory above the core elevation. i M cooling can also occur on the Am sirsy itself. The AN injection velocity poeides a heat treater area, the bl@er the AN ficw rate the larger the heat transfer area. All previous discussion concerning B< cooling and the SG pool height are also applicable for AM sgay.

l Therefore, ,althou@ the mador of 'sG's modelled any be different, overall 4 transient results should not te altered considering the different heat trender areas modelled. In addition, the mirdann heat transfer requirements have toen set in such a way that these analyses being rerfewed remin valid.

arf Isrel thakan1*

Sis issue is closely coupled to-the perious issue of 8G andelling, and, as such, the same arguments pwail. sesically, the analyses zwisued hwe 4

incorporated various level setpoints (32' to 10') for ArW contml. ~ m e level

! setpoints have been modified throughout the plant desip history, Se analyses were performd, in part, to verify the SG 1eral setpoints. Serefore, depenhnt on the analysis performance time frame, different m level setpoints unre verified.

Otrrently, for SBun with IIKP and single failure of a dLeaal generator, the plant will control one 5 to the 10' level. As pwicaal:r -

stated, ant. 4 goncludes that a 3' level in both SG's (equivalent of U laem',

in one SG) will result in sufficient heat transfer area to pavide satisfactory heat trader for those saun's where gassure control is necessary. As i geviously discussed, the gimary-to-es.ondary differential level 4termines (

the condensing surface available (heat transfer area) for 3 4 cooling. If I additional con &nsing surface is available, ie 10' to 32', then the a-c cooling gocess will begin at earlier transient tinas as tha primary side level vill not have to decrease as such. However, the same reruit will ensue. Primary side pressure control will be maintained close to the sG possure (ginaryto-secon&ry coupling through BC cooling) eere the HPIS can naheah inventory and eventually refill the RCS with the natural reduction in core decay beat.

s coastdown ,

Again, as this issue relates to the SG, the arguents are as previously discussed.

9hrious m coastdown times have toen included in the analyses rwiewed (fra 43 sec. to 10 sec.). Current plant infocustion indicates a seven second NN coastdown time. Calculations have teen performed (Ref. 7) that duconstrate the effect of longer MrW coastdown tines on the subcooled blowdown phase to saturation 1 gesstre is negligible, ne initial degessurization will not to affected, mis can be explained further through review of the natural circulation shame.

Analysis results denonstrate that APW injection ecssances minutes before natural circulation ceases. Without forced flew, RC. pumps trip at uxP, E dryout will not occur before ArW injection begins. Ihough 5 inventory exists such that the Mrw coastdown is not a determining factor of any transient result. S e 8-C cooling gocess is unaffected by the MEW coastdown time. With APW injection the 10' level metpoint will be established, with or without MrW, before BC W i g occurs.

Se other issus would be increased SG inventory at the hich MrW temperature.

l Bis would effectively add to the reverse beat transfer pocess as gwimaly discussed, and therefore is considered conservative. To place the reverse 8G best transfer issue in perspective, Ref. 7 evaltates this grticular issa and concludes that the effect of the SG as a 0heat source is miniani such that the 6ange in PCT is negligible (less than 20 F). ~
