Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Control Element Assembly Recovery Time Improvement Project LAR NRC Pre-submittal Meeting May 10, 2022 Proprietary (Redacted Version)

  • Framatome Topical Report ANP-3915P, Calvert Cliffs Misaligned CEA Evaluation

- Framatome performed calculations that validate extended operation at reduced power level with a single misaligned regulating rod.

  • [ The Framatome analysis considered the following conditions:

- Hot Full Power Initial-State (most limiting)

- Five (5) times in life (BOC, Early-MOC, MOC, Late-MOC and EOC)

- Location of the misaligned CEA

- Time spent at full power before power reduction (COLR Limit)

- Time at reduced power condition

- Analysis through duration of CEA recovery ]

Supporting Framatome Analysis Summary (cont.)

CEA Recovery Time Improvement Privileged and Confidential 2

  • Analysis validated a reduction to 60% Reactor Thermal Power (RTP) provided adequate margin for safe operation

- [ FR T behavior for the analyzed conditions meet FR T LCO during operation at 60%

RTP

- Extended operation for up to 7 days

- 60% RTP must be maintained until the dropped CEA is fully recovered. ]

  • After the recovery of the misaligned CEA

- [ Reactor can return to full power using vendor supported ramp rate limits

- Evaluation of FR T until the return of steady state conditions ]

  • [ All LCOs must be met, including required actions, during the CEA misalignment and recovery ]

LAR Acceptance and Review CEA Recovery Time Improvement Privileged and Confidential 3

  • The Framatome ANP-3915P Licensing Report summarizes the methodology and approach and will be submitted by Constellation with the LAR
  • We intend to provide the detailed Framatome ANP-3915P Analysis Report to the NRC for review via a secure website FRAMATOME PROPRIETARY
