Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk One White Flint North 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852-2738 South Texas Project Units 1 & 2 Docket Nos. STN 50-498, STN 50-499 10 CFR 50.46 Annual Report of ECCS Model Revisions
Reference:
David A. Leazar to NRC Document Control Desk, "10 CFR 50.46 Annual Report of ECCS Model Revisions," dated March 17, 2010 (NOC-AE-1 0002537) (ML100880110)
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii), STP Nuclear Operating Company submits this report to address revisions to the accepted Emergency Core Cooling System evaluation model at South Texas Project (STP) Units 1 and 2.
Westinghouse Technical Bulletin TB-10-5, "Indicated Higher than Actual Average Temperature Rod Control Uncertainties," addresses a safety concern in which positive instrument uncertainty was not used in large and small break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) analyses. Not including positive instrument uncertainty in calculations (i.e., indicated temperature is higher than the actual temperature) is potentially non-conservative for LOCA analyses. However, this discrepancy has a negligible impact on STP for existing large and small break LOCA analysis results. The estimated peak clad temperature impact is 0°F.
STP Unit 1 and Unit 2 large and small break LOCA peak clad temperatures have not changed since submittal of the referenced report.
There are no commitments in this submittal.
If there are any questions, please contact either Mr. Philip L. Walker at (361) 972-8392 or me at (361) 972-7743.
