SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) requests amendments to Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (RFOL) DPR-31 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4 (Turkey Point),

respectively. The proposed license amendments revise the Turkey Point Technical Specifications (TS) by revising the referenced Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) methodology to reflect the adoption of WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, Realistic LOCA Evaluation Methodology Applied to the Full Spectrum of Break Sizes (FULL SPECTRUMTM LOCA Methodology) (Reference 6.1).

2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 2.1 System Design and Operation Turkey Point Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Chapter 14.3, summarizes the comprehensive safety analysis of postulated pipe ruptures within the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) boundary for Turkey Point. The analysis includes cases of the Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) resulting from a broad spectrum of small and large pipe ruptures including the Maximum Hypothetical Accident (MHA) case of the double ended guillotine (DEG) rupture of the largest RCS pipe. The objective of the analysis is to determine the condition of the RCS, core, and containment in the event of a postulated LOCA, and to verify that the various Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) have the capability to control each LOCA, including the MHA. The design requirements of existing plant systems, structures, and components (SSCs) are used as inputs to the Turkey Point LOCA analysis, but do not directly impact the existing design or configuration of any plant SSCs.

2.2 Current Requirements / Description of the Proposed Change TS 6.9.1.7 specifies the requirements for the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR),

including the listing of NRC approved analytical methods for determining the Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, FQ(Z), the Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, FH, and the K(Z) curve, the normalized FQ(Z) as a function of core height.

The proposed change updates the listing of approved COLR analytical methods for determining FQ(Z), FH and the K(Z) curve by replacing the 1st listed analytical method with WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, Realistic LOCA Evaluation Methodology Applied to the Full Spectrum of Break Sizes (FULL SPECTRUMTM LOCA Methodology). The proposed change deletes the 2nd through 6th listing of approved analytical methods and renumbers the 7th and 8th listed methods to become the 2nd and 3rd. The proposed change additionally deletes the footnote denoted by a double-asterisk (**) applicable to the existing 5th and 6th listed methods proposed for deletion.

2.3 Reason for the Proposed Change The proposed license amendments update the TS listing of approved COLR analytical methods to fulfill an FPL regulatory commitment to submit a license amendment request (LAR) to adopt the FULL SPECTRUMTM LOCA (FSLOCATM) methodology of WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1 (Reference 6.1) by April 2021, as established in Reference 6.2.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Update COLR Listing of Approved LOCA Methodologies The proposed change updates the listing of approved analytical methods for determining FQ(Z), FH and the K(Z) curve by replacing the 1st through 6th listed COLR analytical methods of TS 6.9.1.7 with WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, Realistic LOCA Evaluation Methodology Applied to the Full Spectrum of Break Sizes (FULL SPECTRUMTM LOCA Methodology) (Reference 6.1). The proposed change thereby deletes the 2nd through 6th listing of approved analytical methods, deletes the footnote denoted by a double-asterisk

(**) applicable to the existing 5th and 6th listed methods and renumbers the 7th and 8th listed methods to become the 2nd and 3rd. These changes are administrative in nature since, as described below, the 1st through 6th analytical methods are being replaced by WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, and renumbering the 7th and 8th analytical methods does not change any applicable requirements. The proposed change reflects the adoption of WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, demonstrating Turkey Point compliance with the ECCS performance criterion of 10 CFR 50.46 subject to the NRCs specified conditions and limitations. The proposed change is necessary to fulfill a regulatory commitment (Reference 6.2) to complete a re-analysis and submit an amendment request adopting the FSLOCATM methodology by April 2021. The commitment requires implementation of the revised methodology on a forward-fit basis by no later than the next reload campaign following implementation of a license amendment adopting the FSLOCATM Evaluation Model (EM) of WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1.

The FSLOCATM EM was developed to address the full spectrum of loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) which result from a postulated break in the reactor coolant system (RCS) of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The break sizes considered in the FSLOCATM EM include any break size in which break flow is beyond the capacity of the normal charging pumps, up to and including a double-ended guillotine (DEG) rupture of an RCS cold leg with a break flow area equal to two times the pipe area, including what traditionally are defined as small and large break LOCAs. The FSLOCATM EM encompasses the methodologies addressed in the 2nd through 6th listed analytical methods for determining FQ(Z), FH, and the K(Z) curve, consistent with Table 1 of Reference 6.1. Generic authorization for use of the FSLOCATM EM was provided in Reference 6.1 subject to the conditions and limitations specified therein.

An analysis utilizing the FSLOCATM EM was performed for Turkey Point. Consistent with the NRC endorsed guidance in NEI 96-07, Revision 1 (Reference 6.3) for adopting an approved methodology, consideration was given for the type of analysis and the applicable terms, conditions and limitations in confirming the intended use of the FSLOCATM EM.

Based on the generic approval of WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, for Westinghouse 3-loop plants with cold leg ECCS injection, such as Turkey Point, and satisfaction of the fifteen (15) conditions and limitations specified in the NRCs Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1 (Reference 6.1), the 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation concluded that the FSLOCATM EM can be implemented following NRC approval of the revised TS 6.9.1.7 listing of approved COLR methodologies. As such, implementation of the FSLOCATM EM is scheduled on a forward-fit basis pending approval of this amendment request, consistent with the regulatory commitment in Reference 6.2. Attachment 1 provides for information only, the technical evaluation of the application of the FSLOCATM EM to Turkey Point. Attachment 1 contains information that Westinghouse Electric Company LLC considers to be proprietary in nature. Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(a)(4), FPL requests the proprietary information be withheld from public disclosure. Attachment 2 provides a non-proprietary version of the technical evaluation provided in Attachment 1.

Attachment 3 provides the Westinghouse Application for Withholding Proprietary

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2021-071 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure Page 4 of 127 Information from Public Disclosure CAW-21-5171 affidavit supporting the proprietary withholding request.

Turkey Point currently utilizes reactor fuel assemblies containing fuel rods which feature Optimized ZIRLOTM cladding. As such, the Zircaloy-4 and ZIRLO cladding fuel properties (i.e., inputs) were not selected for Turkey Points application of the FSLOCATM EM, though these cladding types are approved for use in WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1. Should it become desirable to address the presence of Zircaloy-4 or ZIRLO cladding in future Turkey Point LOCA analyses, the change will be evaluated as a separate, independent change in accordance with 10 CFR 50.46. In addition, the TS Bases are amended to reflect that the initial containment pressure and temperature assumed in the Turkey Point FSLOCATM EM analysis are based on limiting normal operating conditions rather than the minimum containment pressure and maximum containment temperature limits specified in the Turkey Point TS, consistent with the WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, methodology.

Attachment 5 to this amendment request provides the Turkey Point TS Bases pages marked up to show the proposed change. The TS Bases changes are provided for information only and will be incorporated in accordance with the Turkey Point TS Bases Control Program upon implementation of the approved license amendments.

4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 10 CFR 50.46 establishes acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems for light-water nuclear power reactors fueled with uranium oxide pellets within cylindrical zircaloy or ZIRLO cladding.

10 CFR 50, Appendix K, specifies documentation requirements for the emergency core cooling performance evaluation models specified in 10 CFR 50.46.

1967 Proposed General Design Criteria (GDC) 15 states that protection systems shall be provided for sensing accident situations and initiating the operation of necessary engineered safety features.

1967 Proposed GDC 37 states that engineered safety features shall be provided in the facility to back up the safety provided by the core design, the reactor coolant pressure boundary, and their protection systems. As a minimum, such engineered safety features shall be designed to cope with any size reactor coolant pressure boundary break up to and including the circumferential rupture of any pipe in that boundary assuming unobstructed discharge from both ends.

1967 Proposed GDC 41 states that engineered safety features such as emergency core cooling and containment heat removal systems shall provide sufficient performance capability to accommodate partial loss of installed capacity and still fulfill the required safety function. As a minimum, each engineered safety feature shall provide this required safety function assuming a failure of a single active component.

1967 Proposed GDC 42 states that engineered safety features shall be designed so that the capability of each component and system to perform its required function is not impaired by the effects of a loss-of-coolant accident.

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2021-071 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure Page 5 of 127 1967 Proposed GDC 44 states that at least two emergency core cooling systems, preferably of different design principles, each with a capability for accomplishing abundant emergency core cooling, shall be provided. Each emergency core cooling system and the core shall be designed to prevent fuel and clad damage that would interfere with the emergency core cooling function and to limit the clad metal-water reaction to negligible amounts for all sizes of breaks in the reactor coolant pressure boundary, including the double-ended rupture of the largest pipe.

1967 Proposed GDC 49 states that the containment structure, including access openings and penetrations, and any necessary containment heat removal systems shall be designed so that the containment structure can accommodate without exceeding the design leakage rate the pressures and temperatures resulting from the largest credible energy release following a loss-of-coolant accident, including a considerable margin for effects from metal-water or other chemical reactions that could occur as a consequence of failure of emergency core cooling systems.

1967 Proposed GDC 52 states that where an active heat removal system is needed under accident conditions to prevent exceeding containment design pressure, this system shall perform its required function, assuming failure of any single active component.

The proposed license amendments comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46, 10 CFR 50, Appendix K, and 1967 Proposed GDCs 15, 37, 41, 42, 44, 49 and 52, consistent with the applicable regulations and regulatory guidelines. Therefore, all requirements will continue to be satisfied as a result of the proposed change.

4.2 No Significant Hazards Consideration The proposed license amendments revise the Turkey Point Technical Specifications (TS) by revising the referenced LOCA methodology to reflect the adoption of WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, Realistic LOCA Evaluation Methodology Applied to the Full Spectrum of Break Sizes (FULL SPECTRUMTM LOCA Methodology). As required by 10 CFR 50.91(a),

FPL has evaluated the proposed change using the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92 and has determined that the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

An analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration is presented below:

(1) Do the proposed amendments involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed change neither alters plant equipment nor the manner in which equipment is operated and maintained, and thereby cannot increase the probability of an accident. The proposed change cannot adversely affect the type or amount of effluent that may be released off-site or increase individual or cumulative occupational exposures resulting from any design basis accident, and thereby cannot increase the consequences of any accident.

Therefore, the proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

(2) Do the proposed amendments create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Turkey Point Nuclear Plant L-2021-071 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Enclosure Page 6 of 127 Response: No The proposed change neither installs new nor modifies existing plant equipment and thereby cannot introduce new equipment failure modes. The proposed change does not alter safety analysis assumptions, or create new accident initiators or precursors, and thereby cannot introduce a new or different type of accident.

Therefore, the proposed amendments do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

(3) Do the proposed amendments involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No The proposed change does not modify any safety limits, limiting safety system settings, or safety analysis assumptions or inputs, and thereby cannot affect plant operating margins. The proposed change does not modify equipment credited in safety analyses, and thereby cannot affect the integrity of any radiological barrier.

Therefore, the proposed amendments do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based upon the above analysis, FPL concludes that the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration, under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, Issuance of Amendment, and accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified.

4.3 Conclusion Based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The proposed amendments revise the Turkey Point Technical Specifications (TS) by revising the referenced LOCA methodology to reflect the adoption of WCAP-16996-P-A, Revision 1, Realistic LOCA Evaluation Methodology Applied to the Full Spectrum of Break Sizes (FULL SPECTRUMTM LOCA Methodology). FPL has evaluated the proposed amendments for environmental considerations and determined that the proposed amendments would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendments do not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendments meet the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendments.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

An analysis with the FULL SPECTRUM' 1loss-of-coolant accident (FSLOCA') evaluation model (EM) has been completed for the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Plant. This license amendment request (LAR) for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 requests approval to apply the Westinghouse FSLOCA EM.

The FSLOCA EM (Reference 1) was developed to address the full spectrum of loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCAs) which result from a postulated break in the reactor coolant system (RCS) of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The break sizes considered in the Westinghouse FSLOCA EM include any break size in which break flow is beyond the capacity of the normal charging pumps, up to and including a double-ended guillotine (DEG) rupture of an RCS cold leg with a break flow area equal to two times the pipe area, including what traditionally are defined as Small and Large Break LOCAs.

The break size spectrum is divided into two regions. Region I includes breaks that are typically defined as Small Break LOCAs (SBLOCAs). Region II includes break sizes that are typically defined as Large Break LOCAs (LBLOCAs).

The FSLOCA EM explicitly considers the effects of fuel pellet thermal conductivity degradation (TCD) and other burnup-related effects by calibrating to fuel rod performance data input generated by the PAD5 code (Reference 2), which explicitly models TCD and is benchmarked to high burnup data in Reference 2. The fuel pellet thermal conductivity model in the WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2 code used in the FSLOCA EM explicitly accounts for pellet TCD.

Three of the Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.46 criteria (peak cladding temperature (PCT), maximum local oxidation (MLO), and core-wide oxidation (CWO)) are considered directly in the FSLOCA EM. A high probability statement is developed for the PCT, MLO, and CWO that is needed to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criteria (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) (Reference 3) via statistical methods. The MLO is defined as the sum of pre-transient corrosion and transient oxidation consistent with the position in Information Notice 98-29 (Reference 4). The coolable geometry acceptance criterion, 10 CFR 50.46 (b)(4), is assured by compliance with acceptance criteria (b)(1),

(b)(2), and (b)(3), and demonstrating that fuel assembly grid deformation due to combined seismic and LOCA loads does not extend to the in-board fuel assemblies such that a coolable geometry is maintained.

The FSLOCA EM has been generically approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for Westinghouse 3-loop and 4-loop plants with cold leg Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) injection (Reference 1). Since Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are Westinghouse designed 3-loop plant with cold leg ECCS injection, the approved method is applicable.

This report summarizes the application of the Westinghouse FSLOCA EM to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.

The application of the FSLOCA EM to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is consistent with the NRC-approved methodology (Reference 1), with exceptions identified under Limitation and Condition Number 2 in Section 2.3. The application of the FSLOCA EM to Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 is consistent with the conditions and limitations as identified in the NRCs Safety Evaluation Report (SER).

A single analysis with the FSLOCA EM was performed for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.

L-2021-071 Enclosure Page 63 of 127 processes, along with Westinghouse internal processes for assessing EM changes and errors, are used to identify the need for LOCA analysis impact assessments.

The major plant parameter and analysis assumptions used in the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 analysis with the FSLOCA EM are provided in Tables 1 through 7.

2.0 METHOD OF ANALYSIS 2.1 FULL SPECTRUM LOCA Evaluation Model Development In 1988, the NRC Staff amended the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46 (Reference 3 and Reference 6) and Appendix K, ECCS Evaluation Models, to permit the use of a realistic EM to analyze the performance of the ECCS during a hypothetical LOCA. Westinghouses previously approved best-estimate LBLOCA EM is discussed in Reference 8. The EM is referred to as the Automated Statistical Treatment of Uncertainty Method (ASTRUM), and was developed following Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.157 (Reference 7).

When the FSLOCA EM was being developed, the NRC issued RG 1.203 (Reference 9) which expands on the principles of RG 1.157, while providing a more systematic approach to the development and assessment process of a PWR accident and safety analysis EM. Therefore, the development of the FSLOCA EM followed the Evaluation Model Development and Assessment Process (EMDAP), which is documented in RG 1.203. While RG 1.203 expands upon RG 1.157, there are certain aspects of RG 1.157 which are more detailed than RG 1.203; therefore, both RGs were used for the development of the FSLOCA EM.

2.2 WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2 Computer Code The FSLOCA EM (Reference 1) uses the WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2 code to analyze the system thermal-hydraulic response for the full spectrum of break sizes. WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2 was created by combining a 1D module (TRAC-P) with a 3D module (based on Westinghouse modified COBRA-TF). The 1D and 3D modules include an explicit non-condensable gas transport equation. The use of TRAC-P allows for the extension of a two-fluid, six-equation formulation of the two-phase flow to the 1D loop components.

This new code is WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2, where TF2 is an identifier that reflects the use of a three-field (TF) formulation of the 3D module derived by COBRA-TF and a two-fluid (TF) formulation of the 1D module based on TRAC-P.

This best-estimate computer code contains the following features:

1. Ability to model transient three-dimensional flows in different geometries inside the reactor vessel
2. Ability to model thermal and mechanical non-equilibrium between phases
3. Ability to mechanistically represent interfacial heat, mass, and momentum transfer in different flow regimes
4. Ability to represent important reactor and plant components such as fuel rods, steam generators (SGs), reactor coolant pumps (RCPs), etc.

A detailed assessment of the computer code WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2 was made through comparisons to experimental data. These assessments were used to develop quantitative estimates of the ability of the code to predict key physical phenomena for a LOCA. Modeling of a LOCA introduces additional uncertainties which are identified and quantified in the plant-specific analysis. The reactor vessel and loop

L-2021-071 Enclosure Page 64 of 127 noding scheme used in the FSLOCA EM is consistent with the noding scheme used for the experiment simulations that form the validation basis for the physical models in the code. Such noding choices have been justified by assessing the model against large and full scale experiments.

2.3 Compliance with FSLOCA EM Limitations and Conditions The NRCs SER for Reference 1 contains 15 limitations and conditions on the NRC-approved FSLOCA EM. A summary of each limitation and condition and how it was met is provided below.

Limitation and Condition Number 1 Summary The FSLOCA EM is not approved to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criterion (b)(5) related to the long-term cooling.

Compliance The analysis for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 with the FSLOCA EM is only being used to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 50.46 (b)(1) through (b)(4).

Limitation and Condition Number 2 Summary The FSLOCA EM is approved for the analysis of Westinghouse-designed 3-loop and 4-loop PWRs with cold-side injection. Analyses should be executed consistent with the approved method, or any deviations from the approved method should be described and justified.

Compliance Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 are Westinghouse-designed 3-loop PWRs with cold-side injection, so they are within the NRC-approved methodology. The analysis for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 utilized the NRC-approved FSLOCA methodology, except for the changes which were previously transmitted to the NRC pursuant to 10 CFR 50.46 in LTR-NRC-18-30 (Reference 5) and LTR-NRC-19-6 (Reference 12).

Limitation and Condition Number 3 Summary For Region II, the containment pressure calculation will be executed in a manner consistent with the approved methodology (i.e., the COCO or LOTIC2 model will be based on appropriate plant-specific design parameters and conditions, and engineered safety features which can reduce pressure are modeled). This includes utilizing a plant-specific initial containment temperature, and only taking credit for containment coatings which are qualified and outside of the break zone-of-influence.

Compliance The containment pressure calculation for the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 analysis was performed consistent with the NRC-approved methodology. Appropriate design parameters and conditions were modeled, as were the engineered safety features which can reduce the containment pressure. A plant-specific initial temperature associated with normal full-power operating conditions was modeled, and no coatings were credited on any of the containment structures.

L-2021-071 Enclosure Page 69 of 127 3.0 REGION I ANALYSIS 3.1 Description of Representative Transient The small break LOCA transient can be divided into time periods in which specific phenomena are occurring, as discussed below.

Blowdown The rapid depressurization of the RCS coincides with subcooled liquid flow through the break. Following the reactor trip on the low pressurizer pressure setpoint, the pressurizer drains, and safety injection is initiated on the low pressurizer pressure SI setpoint. After reaching this setpoint and applying the safety injection delays, high pressure safety injection flow begins. Phase separation begins in the upper head and upper plenum near the end of this period until the entire RCS eventually reaches saturation, ending the rapid depressurization slightly above the steam generator secondary side pressure near the modeled MSSV setpoint.

Natural Circulation This quasi-equilibrium phase persists while the RCS pressure remains slightly above the secondary side pressure. The system drains from the top down, and while significant mass is continually lost through the break, the vapor generated in the core is trapped in the upper regions by the liquid remaining in the crossover leg loop seals. Throughout this period, the core remains covered by a two-phase mixture and the fuel cladding temperatures remain at the saturation temperature level.

Loop Seal Clearance As the system drains, the liquid levels in the downhill side of the pump suction (crossover leg) become depressed all the way to the bottom elevations of the piping, allowing the steam trapped during the natural circulation phase to vent to the break (i.e., a process called loop seal clearance). The break flow and the flow through the RCS loops become primarily vapor. Relief of a static head imbalance allows for a quick but temporary recovery of liquid levels in the inner portion of the reactor vessel.

Boil-Off With a vapor vent path established after the loop seal clearance, the RCS depressurizes at a rate controlled by the critical flow, which continues to be a primarily high quality mixture of water and steam. The RCS pressure remains high enough such that safety injection flow cannot make up for the primary system fluid inventory lost through the break, leading to core uncovery and a fuel rod cladding temperature heatup.

Core Recovery The RCS pressure continues to decrease, and once it reaches that of the accumulator gas pressure, the introduction of additional ECCS water from the accumulators replenishes the reactor vessel inventory and recovers the core mixture level. The transient is considered over as the break flow is compensated by the injected flow.

3.2 Analysis Results The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Region I analysis was performed in accordance with the NRC-approved methodology in Reference 1, with exceptions identified under Limitation and Condition Number 2 in Section 2.3. The transient that produced the analysis PCT result is a cold leg break with a break diameter of 2.1-inches. The most limiting ECCS single failure of one ECCS train is assumed in the analysis as identified in Table 1. Control rod drop is modeled for breaks less than 1 square foot assuming a 2 second

When the low pressurizer pressure SI setpoint is reached, there is a delay to account for emergency diesel generator start-up, filling headers, etc., after which safety injection is initiated into the reactor coolant system.

The results of the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Region I uncertainty analysis are summarized in Table 8.

The sampled decay heat uncertainty multipliers for the Region I analysis cases are provided in Table 11.

Table 9 contains a sequence of events for the transient that produced the Region I analysis PCT result.

Figures 1 through 13 illustrate the calculated key transient response parameters for this transient.

4.0 REGION II ANALYSIS 4.1 Description of Representative Transient A large-break LOCA transient can be divided into phases in which specific phenomena are occurring. A convenient way to divide the transient is in terms of the various heatup and cooldown phases that the fuel assemblies undergo. For each of these phases, specific phenomena and heat transfer regimes are important, as discussed below.

Blowdown - Critical Heat Flux (CHF) Phase In this phase, the break flow is subcooled, the discharge rate of coolant from the break is high, the core flow reverses, the fuel rods go through departure from nucleate boiling (DNB), and the cladding rapidly heats up and the reactor is shut down due to the core voiding.

The regions of the RCS with the highest initial temperatures (upper core, upper plenum, and hot legs) begin to flash during this period. This phase is terminated when the water in the lower plenum and downcomer begins to flash. The mixture level swells and a saturated mixture is pushed into the core by the intact loop RCPs, still rotating in single-phase liquid. As the fluid in the cold leg reaches saturation conditions, the discharge flow rate at the break decreases significantly.

Blowdown - Upward Core Flow Phase Heat transfer is increased as the two-phase mixture is pushed into the core. The break discharge rate is reduced because the fluid becomes saturated at the break. This phase ends as the lower plenum mass is depleted, the fluid in the loops become two-phase, and the RCP head degrades.

Blowdown - Downward Core Flow Phase The break flow begins to dominate and pulls flow down through the core as the RCP head degrades due to increased voiding, while liquid and entrained liquid flows also provide core cooling. Heat transfer in this period may be enhanced by liquid flow from the upper head. Once the system has depressurized to less than the accumulator cover pressure, the accumulators begin to inject cold water into the cold legs.

During this period, due to steam upflow in the downcomer, a portion of the injected ECCS water is bypassed around the downcomer and sent out through the break. As the system pressure continues to decrease, the break flow and consequently the downward core flow are reduced. The system pressure approaches the containment pressure at the end of this last period of the blowdown phase.

During this phase, the core begins to heat up as the system approaches containment pressure, and the phase ends when the reactor vessel begins to refill with ECCS water.

      • This record was final approved on 9/11/2020 2:16:49 PM. (This statement was added by the PRIME system upon its validation)

L-2021-071 Enclosure Page 71 of 127 Refill Phase The core continues to heat up as the lower plenum refills with ECCS water. This phase is characterized by a rapid increase in fuel cladding temperature at all elevations due to the lack of liquid and steam flow in the core region. The water completely refills the lower plenum and the refill phase ends. As ECCS water enters the core, the fuel rods in the lower core region begin to quench and liquid entrainment begins, resulting in increased fuel rod heat transfer.

Reflood Phase During the early reflood phase, the accumulators begin to empty and nitrogen is discharged into the RCS.

The nitrogen surge forces water into the core, which is then evaporated, causing system re-pressurization and a temporary reduction of pumped ECCS flow; this re-pressurization is illustrated by the increase in RCS pressure. During this time, core cooling may increase due to vapor generation and liquid entrainment, but conversely the early reflood pressure spike results in loss of mass out through the broken cold leg.

The pumped ECCS water aids in the filling of the downcomer throughout the reflood period. As the quench front progresses further into the core, the PCT elevation moves increasingly higher in the fuel assembly.

As the transient progresses, continued injection of pumped ECCS water refloods the core, effectively removes the reactor vessel metal mass stored energy and core decay heat, and leads to an increase in the reactor vessel fluid mass. Eventually the core inventory increases enough that liquid entrainment is able to quench all the fuel assemblies in the core.

4.2 Analysis Results The Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Region II analysis was performed in accordance with the NRC-approved methodology in Reference 1, with exceptions identified under Limitation and Condition Number 2 in Section 2.3. The analysis was performed assuming both LOOP and OPA, and the results of both of the LOOP and OPA analyses are compared to the 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criteria. The most limiting ECCS single failure of one ECCS train is assumed in the analysis as identified in Table 1. The results of the Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Region II LOOP and OPA uncertainty analyses are summarized in Table 8.

The sampled decay heat uncertainty multipliers for the Region II analysis cases are provided in Table 11.

Table 10 contains a sequence of events for the transient that produced the more limiting analysis PCT result relative to the offsite power assumption. Figures 14 through 27 illustrate the key response parameters for this transient.

The containment pressure is calculated for each LOCA transient in the analysis using the COCO code (References 10 and 11). The COCO containment code is integrated into the WCOBRA/TRAC-TF2 thermal-hydraulic code. The transient-specific mass and energy releases calculated by the thermal-hydraulic code at the end of each timestep are transferred to COCO. COCO then calculates the containment pressure based on the containment model (the inputs are summarized in Tables 2, 3, and 4) and the mass and energy releases, and transfers the pressure back to the thermal-hydraulic code as a boundary condition at the break, consistent with the methodology in Reference 1. The containment model for COCO calculates a conservatively low containment pressure, including the effects of all the installed pressure reducing systems and processes such as assuming all trains of containment spray are operable and assuming fan cooler operation. The containment backpressure for the transient that produced the analysis PCT result is provided in Figure 21.

L-2021-071 Enclosure Page 72 of 127 5.0 COMPLIANCE WITH 10 CFR 50.46 It must be demonstrated that there is a high level of probability that the following criteria in 10 CFR 50.46 are met:

(b)(1) The analysis PCT corresponds to a bounding estimate of the 95th percentile PCT at the 95-percent confidence level. Since the resulting PCT is less than 2,200°F, the analysis with the FSLOCA EM confirms that 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criterion (b)(1), i.e., Peak Cladding Temperature does not exceed 2,200°F, is demonstrated.

The results are shown in Table 8 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.

(b)(2) The analysis MLO corresponds to a bounding estimate of the 95th percentile MLO at the 95-percent confidence level. Since the resulting MLO is less than 17 percent when converting the time-at-temperature to an equivalent cladding reacted using the Baker-Just correlation and adding the pre-transient corrosion, the analysis confirms that 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criterion (b)(2), i.e., Maximum Local Oxidation of the cladding does not exceed 17 percent, is demonstrated.

The results are shown in Table 8 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.

(b)(3) The analysis CWO corresponds to a bounding estimate of the 95th percentile CWO at the 95-percent confidence level. Since the resulting CWO is less than 1 percent, the analysis confirms that 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criterion (b)(3), i.e., Core-Wide Oxidation does not exceed 1 percent, is demonstrated.

The results are shown in Table 8 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.

(b)(4) 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criterion (b)(4) requires that the calculated changes in core geometry are such that the core remains in a coolable geometry.

This criterion is met by demonstrating compliance with criteria (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3), and by assuring that fuel assembly grid deformation due to combined LOCA and seismic loads is specifically addressed. Criteria (b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3) have been met for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 as shown in Table 8.

It is discussed in Section 32.1 of the NRC-approved FSLOCA EM (Reference 1) that the effects of LOCA and seismic loads on the core geometry do not need to be considered unless fuel assembly grid deformation extends beyond the core periphery (i.e., deformation in a fuel assembly with no sides adjacent to the core baffle plates). Inboard grid deformation due to combined LOCA and seismic loads is not calculated to occur for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.

(b)(5) 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criterion (b)(5) requires that long-term core cooling be provided following the successful initial operation of the ECCS.

Long-term cooling is dependent on the demonstration of the continued delivery of cooling water to the core. The actions that are currently in place to maintain long-term cooling are not impacted by the application of the NRC-approved FSLOCA EM (Reference 1).

Based on the analysis results for Region I and Region II presented in Table 8 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, it is concluded that Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 comply with the criteria in 10 CFR 50.46.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 CAW-21-5171 Page 1 of 3 COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA:

COUNTY OF BUTLER:

(1) I, Camille T. Zozula, have been specifically delegated and authorized to apply for withholding and execute this Affidavit on behalf of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Westinghouse).

(2) I am requesting the proprietary portions of L-2021-071 be withheld from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390.

(3) I have personal knowledge of the criteria and procedures utilized by Westinghouse in designating information as a trade secret, privileged, or as confidential commercial or financial information.

(4) Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390, the following is furnished for consideration by the Commission in determining whether the information sought to be withheld from public disclosure should be withheld.

(i) The information sought to be withheld from public disclosure is owned and has been held in confidence by Westinghouse and is not customarily disclosed to the public.

(ii) The information sought to be withheld is being transmitted to the Commission in confidence and, to Westinghouses knowledge, is not available in public sources.

(iii) Westinghouse notes that a showing of substantial harm is no longer an applicable criterion for analyzing whether a document should be withheld from public disclosure. Nevertheless, public disclosure of this proprietary information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Westinghouse because it would enhance the ability of competitors to provide similar technical evaluation justifications and licensing defense services for commercial power reactors without commensurate expenses. Also, public disclosure of the information would enable

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 CAW-21-5171 Page 2 of 3 others to use the information to meet NRC requirements for licensing documentation without purchasing the right to use the information.

(5) Westinghouse has policies in place to identify proprietary information. Under that system, information is held in confidence if it falls in one or more of several types, the release of which might result in the loss of an existing or potential competitive advantage, as follows:

(a) The information reveals the distinguishing aspects of a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.) where prevention of its use by any of Westinghouse's competitors without license from Westinghouse constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies.

(b) It consists of supporting data, including test data, relative to a process (or component, structure, tool, method, etc.), the application of which data secures a competitive economic advantage (e.g., by optimization or improved marketability).

(c) Its use by a competitor would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing a similar product.

(d) It reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of Westinghouse, its customers or suppliers.

(e) It reveals aspects of past, present, or future Westinghouse or customer funded development plans and programs of potential commercial value to Westinghouse.

(f) It contains patentable ideas, for which patent protection may be desirable.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 CAW-21-5171 Page 3 of 3 (6) The attached documents are bracketed and marked to indicate the bases for withholding. The justification for withholding is indicated in both versions by means of lower-case letters (a) through (f) located as a superscript immediately following the brackets enclosing each item of information being identified as proprietary or in the margin opposite such information. These lower-case letters refer to the types of information Westinghouse customarily holds in confidence identified in Sections (5)(a) through (f) of this Affidavit.

I declare that the averments of fact set forth in this Affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

0-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 53 of 219) 3/4.2 Power Distribution Limits The specifications of this section provide assurance of fuel integrity during Condition I (Normal Operation) and II (Incidents of Moderate Frequency) events by: (1) Maintaining the minimum DNBR in the core greater than or equal to the applicable design limit during normal operation and in short-term transients, and (2) Limiting the fission gas release, fuel pellet temperature, and cladding mechanical properties to within assumed design criteria. In addition, limiting the peak linear power density during Condition I events provides assurance that the initial conditions assumed for the LOCA analyses are met and the ECCS acceptance criteria limit of 2200F is NOT exceeded.

The definitions of certain hot channel and peaking factors as used in 10 CFR 50.46 these specifications are as follows:

acceptance criteria are FQ(Z) Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the maximum local heat flux on the surface of a fuel rod at core elevation Z divided by the average fuel rod heat flux, allowing for manufacturing tolerances on fuel pellets and rods; FNH Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the ratio of the integral of linear power along the rod with the highest integrated power to the average rod power; and FXY(Z) Radial Peaking Factor, is defined as the ratio of peak power density to average power density in the horizontal plane at core elevation Z.

3/4.2.1 Axial Flux Difference The limits on AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) assure that the F Q(Z) limit defined in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT times the normalized axial peaking factor is NOT exceeded during either normal operation or in the event of xenon redistribution following power changes.

41 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION BASES CONTROL PROGRAM 74 of 238 PROCEDURE NO.:

0-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases (Page 55 of 219) 3/4.2.1 (Continued)

Operation outside of the target band for the short time period allowed (15 minutes) will NOT result in significant xenon redistribution such that the envelope of peaking factors will change sufficiently to prohibit continued operation in the power region defined above. To assure that there is NO residual xenon redistribution impact from past operation on the Base Load operation, a 24-hour waiting period within a defined range of PT and AFD allowed by RAOC is necessary.

During this period, load changes and rod motion are restricted to that allowed by the Base Load requirement. After the waiting period, extended Base Load operation is permissible.

Provisions for monitoring the AFD on an automatic basis are derived from the plant process computer through the AFD Monitoring Alarm.

The computer monitors the OPERABLE excore detector outputs and provides an alarm message immediately if the AFD for two or more OPERABLE excore channels are: 1) Outside the acceptable AFD (for RAOC operation), or 2) Outside the acceptable AFD target band (for Base Load operation). These alarms are active when power is greater than: 1) 50% of RATED THERMAL POWER (for RAOC operation), or

2) PT (Base Load operation). Penalty deviation minutes for Base Load operation are NOT accumulated based on the short time period during which operation outside of the target band is allowed.

3/4.2.2 10 CFR 50.46 acceptance criteria are NOT exceeded.

3/4.2.3 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor and Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor The limits on Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor and Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor ensure that: (1) The design limits on peak local power density and minimum DNBR are NOT exceeded, and (2) In the event of a LOCA the peak fuel clad temperature will NOT exceed the 2200°F ECCS acceptance criteria limit. The LOCA peak fuel clad temperature limit may be sensitive to the number of steam generator tubes plugged.

FQ(Z), Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the maximum local heat flux on the surface of a fuel rod at core elevation Z divided by the average fuel rod heat flux.

0-ADM-536 TURKEY POINT PLANT ATTACHMENT 2 Technical Specification Bases Note that the FSLOCA EM (Page 127 of 219) analysis models only one SI 3/4.5.2 pump and one RHR pump for

& and remaining 10 CFR the full spectrum of breaks 3/4.5.3 ECCS Subsystems 50.46 acceptance criteria (Region I and Region II).

The OPERABILITY of ECCS components and flowpaths required in MODES 1, 2, and 3 ensures that sufficient emergency core cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA assuming any single active failure consideration. Two SI pumps and one RHR pump operating in conjunction with two accumulators are capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all pipe break sizes up to and including the maximum hypothetical accident of a circumferential rupture of a reactor coolant loop. The integrity of the cold leg injection flowpath can be impacted by the opposite unit if a discharge path is opened in a low pressure condition. This is NOT normally a concern based on the opposite unit operating at 2235 psig maintaining cold leg injection check valves closed. In addition, the RHR subsystem provides long-term core cooling capability in the RECIRCULATION mode during the accident recovery period.

Management of gas voids is important to ECCS OPERABILITY.

Motor Operated Valves (MOVs) 862A, 862B, 863A, 863B are required to take suction from the containment sump via the RHR System.

PC-600 supplies controlling signals to valves MOVs 862B and 863B, to prevent opening these valves if RHR Pump B discharge pressure is above 210 psig. PC-601 provides similar functions to valves MOVs 862A and 863A. Although all four valves are normally locked in position, with power removed, the capability to power up and stroke the valves must be maintained in order to satisfy the requirements for OPERABLE flow paths (capable of taking suction from the containment sump).

When PC-600/-601 are calibrated, a test signal is supplied to each circuit to check operation of the relays and annunciators operated by subject controllers. This test signal will prevent MOVs 862A, 862B, 863A, 863B from opening. Therefore, it is appropriate to tag out the MOV breakers, and enter Technical Specification Action Statement 3.5.2.a. and 3.6.2.1 when calibrating PC-600/-601.

With the RCS temperature below 350F, operation with less than full redundant equipment is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements.

At this point the door is still physically restrained from opening, but the seating pressure against the o-ring seal may have been reduced such that the door seal is in an untested configuration, potentially creating a leakage path. In this configuration, the door is considered closed per the Technical Specifications and would satisfy the interlock test requirements, but the overall air lock leakage requirement may have been invalidated. This configuration would result in an inoperable airlock door since the O-ring seal was NOT properly compressed. As there is NO functional difference between an unsecured door and a leaking door (as far as maintenance of containment integrity is concerned), the unsecured door must be considered inoperable.

In the event the air lock leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate, the Note directs entry into the ACTION of LCO 3.6.1.2, "Containment Leakage."

3/4.6.1.4 Internal Pressure The limitations on Containment Internal Pressure ensure that: (1) The containment structure is prevented from exceeding its design negative Add new pressure differential of 2.5 psig with respect to the outside atmosphere, paragraph from and (2) The containment peak pressure does NOT exceed the design INSERT A pressure of 55 psig during LOCA conditions.

3/4.6.1.5 Air Temperature The limitations on containment average air temperature ensure that the design limits for a LOCA are NOT exceeded, and that the environmental qualification of equipment is NOT impacted. If temperatures exceed 120°F, but remain below 125°F for up to 336 hours0.00389 days <br />0.0933 hours <br />5.555556e-4 weeks <br />1.27848e-4 months <br /> during a calendar year, NO action is required. If the 336-hour limit is approached, an evaluation may be performed to extend the limit if some of the hours have been spent at less than 125°F. Measurements shall be made at all listed locations, whether by fixed or portable instruments, prior to determining the average air Add new temperature.

L-2021-071 Enclosure Page 127 of 127 INSERT A - Add to end of TS Bases 3/4.6.1.4 The FSLOCATM EM analysis models a minimum initial containment pressure calculated based on plant data (14.1 psia) rather than the TS minimum containment pressure. This is consistent with the approved methodology.

INSERT B - Add to end of TS Bases 3/4.6.1.5 The FSLOCATM EM analysis assumes a minimum initial containment temperature to model a conservatively low pressure in the analysis, which does not directly correlate with the maximum containment temperatures described in this TS.
