Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Report of Changes, Tests, Experiments Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59(d)(2)

As required by 10 CFR 50.59(d)(2), the following report contains brief descriptions of changes made to the facility and/or associated documentation, and summaries of the associated 50.59 evaluations.

SS-SE-2021-0022-00 Covid Risk Reduction - Ice Basket Weight Acceptance Criteria for Unit 2 Cycle 26 Activity

Description:

The Unit 2 ice condenser was returned to service after the Unit 2 spring 2021 outage without undergoing typical ice basket replenishment. The unit was approved to operate through the ensuing operating cycle with ice bed basket weights less than the safety analysis mean value.

Summary of the Evaluation:

Each applicable evaluation question was answered, No. Although ice bed replenishment was deferred for an operating cycle, it was shown that operation with some ice basket weights below the safety analysis mean value (but above a projected minimum) would continue to support all applicable design basis functional requirements. Specifically, it was shown using methods of evaluation consistent with those within the Updated Final Safety Evaluation Report (UFSAR) (where applicable) that the ice bed would continue to ensure sufficient ice mass, heat transfer area, flow passages, and ice distribution would be provided in the ice condenser so that the magnitude of a pressure and temperature transients resulting from accidents described in the UFSAR would not exceed the containment design pressure or temperature.

SS-SE-2022-0006-00 Revise Ice Basket Weight Acceptance Criteria for Unit 1 Cycle 31 Activity

Description:

The Unit 1 ice condenser was returned to service after the Unit 1 spring 2022 outage without undergoing typical ice basket replenishment. The unit was approved to operate through the ensuing operating cycle with ice bed basket weights less than the safety analysis mean value.

Summary of the Evaluation:

Each applicable evaluation question was answered, No. Although ice bed replenishment was deferred for an operating cycle, it was shown that operation with some ice basket weights below the safety analysis mean value (but above a projected minimum) would continue to support all applicable design basis functional requirements.
