1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to provide the technical bases for opera-tion of the FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant with one Safety / Relief Valve (S/RV) out-of-service for the current cycle (Cycle 5).

The potential ef fect of one S/RV out-of-service is to change the pressure response of the reactor during transients and postulated accidents which could conceivably impact the margins and/or safety limits for plant operation.

The accident and transient considerations for operation during Cycle 5 with one S/RV out-of-service are presented.

2. LOSS-CF-COOLANT ACCIDENT i

2.1 GENERAL DISCUSSION FitzPatrick has 11 combination S/RVs. All of these valves have a pressure-actuated safety function and seven of them have an additional solenoid-air operated relief function automatically actuated by the Automatic Depressurization Systee (ADS).

For Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) evaluations, credit is taken for the safety function; however, not all of the S/RVs are actuated during a LOCA.

If the out-of-service valve is one of the S/RVs with the ADS function there can be a potential impact on the calculated Peak Cladding Temperatures (PCT) for small break sizes of less than approximately 0.2 ft2 This may occur because, with a worst case postulated single failure of the High Pres-sure Coolant Injection System (HPCI), the small break transient is dominated by the time required to depressurize the reactor to the operating pressure of the low pressure Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS).

1

Attachment 5 NEDO-22226 For larger postulated break sizes, the LOCA itself depressurizes the

= reactor. vessel rapidly before the ADS actuates, and the number of S/RVs or

~

Jactuation of the ADS is inconsequential to'the calculated PCT. ,

For the FitzPatrick plant, the limiting LOCA is a large break (greater than 1.0 ft2 in size), and the loss'of the S/RV or ADS function hAs no effect on the calculated Maximum Average Planar Linear ~ Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR)

. . limit.

2.2 PLANT SPECIFIC ANALYSIS A plant specific analysis was performed.for FitzPatrick with the' approved Appendix K . evaluation models, SAFE and REFLOOD, to determine the increase in the calculated small break PCT and to show that the small break does not bep come limiting'with one S/RV with the ADS function out'of service. ,-

The results of the analyses are shown in Table 1. The most limiting small break in terms'of. PCT is the 0.07 ft' recirculation suction line break.

With one ADS out-of-service, the PCT is less than 1300*F, which is over 900*F below the'2200*F limit. The water level, pressure, and PCT for the worst case small break are shoun in Figures 1 and 2.

2.3 CONCLUSION

S With one S/RV out-of-service, there is no impact on the calculated MAPLHGR limits for FitzPatrick, even if the out-of-service S/RV has .the ADS function.

3. TRANSIENTS 3.1 GENERAL DISCUSSION The following limiting abnormal operational transients during Cycle 5 opera-tion with one S/RV out-of-service were performed using the ODYN computer code:

l

a. Load rejection without bypass at 104% power /100% flow.

y Attachment 5 NED0-22226'

b. The ASME code overpressure protection event - Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) closure, flux scram.

The S/RV setpoints and groupings for the analysis of these events are presented in Table 2.

Note that the S/RV in the lowest setpoint group is conservatively assumed to be out-of-service in this analysis. Therefore, any particular S/RV which becomes inoperable during Cycle 5 is bounded by this

, analysis.

3.2 LIMITING TRANSIENT The ACPR values for Cycle 5 operation are reported in Reference 1. In terms of 6CPR value, the limiting transient is the Load Rejection Without Byr pass (LRNB) event. -

The LRNB transient was performed with ont S/RV out-of-service. The peak i

neutron flux, the peak heat flux, and the Minimum Critical Powet Ratio (MCPR) remain unchanged for this event. This is because both the peak neutron flux and the peak heat flux occur bet' ore the S/RVs are actuated during this event.

Therefore, the effect of one S/RV out-of-service has no impact on the 6CPR of the limiting transient LRNB event.

The output parameter data for this event is summarized in Table 3 and the time response of this transient is shown in Figure 3. i The non-pressurization events (e.g., rod withdrawal error) are independent of valve setpoint and valve capacity; therefore, the 6CPR values are unchanged as a result of one S/RV out-of-service.

3.3 MSIV FLUX SCRAM The adequacy of the S/RV capacity based on ASME code requirements is demonstrated by the MSIV closure transient with high flux scram. The peak vessel pressure for this event increases by 15 psi as a result of one S/RV out- .

of-service, resulting in a peak pressure of 1290 psig. This shows a margin of i l

85 psi to the ASME code upset limit of 1375 psig. Therefore, the ASME limit l

is still met with one S/RV out-of-service.

~ .

Attachment 5 NEDO-22226 The output parameter data for the MSIV flux scram transient considered in this analysis is summarized in Table 4. The time response of key variables for this transient is shown in Figure 4.

3.4 CONCLUSION

  • With one S/RV out-of-service, there is no impact on the MCPR operating limit for FitzPatrick, Cycle 5 operation. Also, the peak vessel pressure for the MSIV flux scram event is well within the ASME code upset limit of 1375'psig.
4. OVERALL CONCLUSION The operation of the FitzPatrick Nuclear Plant at full power for the remainder of Cycle 5 with any one S/RV out of service has no impact on op rating limits. '
