Enclosure 2 to NRC-20-0010 Fermi 2 NRC Docket No. 50-341 Operating License No. NPF-43 GEH Affidavit for NEDC-33919P

GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC AFFIDAVIT I, Kent E. Halac, state as follows:

(1) I am a Senior Engineer, Regulatory Affairs, Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLC (GNF-A), and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph (2) which is sought to be withheld, and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.

(2) The information sought to be withheld is contained in GEH Report, NEDC-33919P, Revision 0, DTE Energy Enrico Fermi Unit 2, TRACG ECCS Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA)

Analysis, January 2020. The proprietary information in NEDC-33919P, Revision 0, is identified by a dotted underline within double square brackets. ((This sentence is an example.{3})) GEH proprietary information in figures and large objects is identified with double square brackets before and after the object. In all cases, the superscript notation {3}

refers to Paragraph (3) of this affidavit, which provides the basis for the proprietary determination.

(3) In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is the owner or licensee, GEH relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 USC Sec. 552(b)(4), and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 USC Sec.

1905, and NRC regulations 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4), and 2.390(a)(4) for trade secrets (Exemption 4). The material for which exemption from disclosure is here sought also qualify under the narrower definition of trade secret, within the meanings assigned to those terms for purposes of FOIA Exemption 4 in, respectively, Critical Mass Energy Project v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 975 F2.d 871 (DC Cir. 1992), and Public Citizen Health Research Group v. FDA, 704 F2.d 1280 (DC Cir. 1983).

(4) Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:

a. Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by GEHs competitors without license from GEH constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies;
b. Information which, if used 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 of a similar product;
c. Information which reveals aspects of past, present, or future GEH customer-funded development plans and programs, resulting in potential products to GEH;
d. Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.

The information sought to be withheld is considered to be proprietary for the reasons set forth in paragraphs (4)a. and (4)b. above.

NEDC-33919P Affidavit Page 1 of 3

GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC (5) To address the 10 CFR 2.390 (b) (4), the information sought to be withheld is being submitted to the NRC in confidence. The information is of a sort customarily held in confidence by GEH, and is in fact so held. The information sought to be withheld has, to the best of my knowledge and belief, consistently been held in confidence by GEH, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public sources. All disclosures to third parties including any required transmittals to the NRC, have been made, or must be made, pursuant to regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of the information in confidence. Its initial designation as proprietary information, and the subsequent steps taken to prevent its unauthorized disclosure, are as set forth in paragraphs (6) and (7) following.

(6) Initial approval of proprietary treatment of a document is made by the manager of the originating component, the person most likely to be acquainted with the value and sensitivity of the information in relation to industry knowledge, or subject to the terms under which it was licensed to GEH.

(7) The procedure for approval of external release of such a document typically requires review by the staff manager, project manager, principal scientist or other equivalent authority, by the manager of the cognizant marketing function (or his delegate), and by the Legal Operation, for technical content, competitive effect, and determination of the accuracy of the proprietary designation. Disclosures outside GEH are limited to regulatory bodies, customers, and potential customers, and their agents, suppliers, and licensees, and others with a legitimate need for the information, and then only in accordance with appropriate regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements.

(8) The information identified in paragraph (2) above, is classified as proprietary because it contains detailed GEH information regarding the TRACG-LOCA methodology used in the analysis of the GEH Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). Development of these methods, techniques, and information and their application for the design and analyses methodologies and processes was achieved at a significant cost to GEH.

The development of the evaluation process along with the interpretation and application of the analytical results is derived from the extensive experience database that constitutes a major GEH asset.

(9) Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to GEHs competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities. The fuel design and licensing methodology is part of GEHs comprehensive BWR safety and technology base, and its commercial value extends beyond the original development cost. The value of the technology base goes beyond the extensive physical database and analytical methodology and includes development of the expertise to determine and apply the appropriate evaluation process. In addition, the technology base includes the value derived from providing analyses done with NRC-approved methods.

The research, development, engineering, analytical, and NRC review costs comprise a substantial investment of time and money by GEH.

NEDC-33919P Affidavit Page 2 of 3

GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas, LLC The precise value of the expertise to devise an evaluation process and apply the correct analytical methodology is difficult to quantify, but it clearly is substantial.

GEHs competitive advantage will be lost if its competitors are able to use the results of the GEH experience to normalize or verify their own process or if they are able to claim an equivalent understanding by demonstrating that they can arrive at the same or similar conclusions.

The value of this information to GEH would be lost if the information were disclosed to the public. Making such information available to competitors without their having been required to undertake a similar expenditure of resources would unfairly provide competitors with a windfall, and deprive GEH of the opportunity to exercise its competitive advantage to seek an adequate return on its large investment in developing and obtaining these very valuable analytical tools.

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

Executed on this 24th day of January 2020.

SUMMARY

The GE Hitachi (GEH) TRACG-LOCA evaluation model (EM) is documented in Licensing Topical Report (LTR) NEDE-33005P-A, Revision 2. The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the TRACG-LOCA EM to evaluate four out of the five licensing acceptance criteria for Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) specified in 10 CFR 50.46, for GEH boiling water reactor (BWR) types BWR/2 - BWR/6. In particular, for all specified loss-of-coolant accidents (LOCA), the EM must demonstrate with high probability and high confidence that: (1) the transient overall core peak cladding temperature (PCT) does not exceed 2200 °F, (2) the maximum local fuel cladding oxidation (MLO), as a fraction of the cladding that has been oxidized, is less than 17%, (3) the total fraction of fuel cladding oxidized in the core (CWO) is less than 1%, and (4) the fuel must remain in a coolable geometry. The TRACG-LOCA EM utilizes a best estimate plus uncertainty approach to establish that criteria (1)

- (3) have all been met with at least a 95% probability with 95% confidence. The methodology then prescribes that meeting criteria (1) - (3) establishes that criteria (4) is also met. The fifth criteria, for long term core cooling, is not addressed by the TRACG-LOCA EM.

Most recently, the SAFER/PRIME-LOCA EM was used to establish the Fermi 2 licensing basis PCT, MLO, and CWO for the GE14 fuel product line in NEDC-33865P [9]. The licensing basis values for GE14 are superseded with the implementation of TRACG-LOCA.

The TRACG computer program utilizes more advanced two-phase flow modeling than SAFER.

Additionally, TRACG allows for much greater model detail in the core and the vessel, as well as for modeling of piping attached to the exterior of the vessel. This model sophistication, combined with an extensive qualification basis, leads to the assertion that a nominal TRACG calculation of the LOCA transient represents a best estimate. The important uncertainties in models, plant parameters, and initial conditions are either accounted for by using bounding values or by randomly sampling from prescribed probability distributions in a large number of statistical analysis trials. For Fermi 2, the TRACG-LOCA EM results in limiting PCT results for small recirculation line breaks.

TRACG-LOCA models were developed for Fermi Unit 2. Using these models, nominal LOCA calculations, known as the break spectra, were performed for the GNF3 fuel product line to find the potentially limiting initial conditions, single failures, break locations, and break sizes.

Statistical analyses, consisting of a large number of trials with randomly perturbed model and plant parameters and initial conditions, were then performed for the potentially limiting breaks.

The results from the statistical analyses were used to determine the licensing basis PCT, MLO, and CWO for GE14 and GNF3.

For SAFER Fermi 2 LOCA analyses, the small recirculation line breaks for Division I DC Power Source (Div I Battery) failure were limiting. Similarly, the TRACG-LOCA licensing basis PCT is set by the small recirculation line break as well. TRACG-LOCA predictions show that Division II DC Power Source (Div II Battery) failure is the limiting failure. All licensing basis values are within prescribed limits.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report provides the results of the loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) analysis performed by GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) for plant Fermi Unit 2 (or Fermi 2). The analysis was performed using the TRACG-LOCA evaluation model (EM) approved by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ([5], [6]). This is the second application of TRACG-LOCA to a domestic jet pump plant boiling water reactor (BWR). The analysis was performed assuming a maximum core thermal power corresponding to the current licensed thermal power, plus power uncertainty, of 3,499 MW. The analysis considers all licensed initial power/flow conditions and 24-month cycle operation.

This LOCA analysis was performed in accordance with NRC requirements to demonstrate conformance with the ECCS acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46. A key objective of the LOCA analysis is to provide assurance that the most limiting break size, break location and single failure combination has been considered. The TRACG-LOCA method described in Licensing Topical Report (LTR) NEDE-33005P-A, Revision 2 ([2]) is followed to satisfy these requirements.

The TRACG-LOCA EM process is demonstrated for a BWR/4 (jet pump plant similar to Fermi 2) in [2]. The process consists of two main parts. First, potentially limiting LOCA cases are determined by performing nominal best estimate calculations across the break spectra. Second, a statistical analysis is performed for each potentially limiting break. The statistical analysis consists of a large number of statistical trials for which the important model and plant parameters and initial conditions have been randomly perturbed according to specified probability distribution functions. The results of the statistical trials are then used to determine the peak cladding temperature (PCT), maximum local oxidation (MLO), and core wide oxidation (CWO) that represent the joint 95th percentile of the distribution with 95% confidence for each analyzed break. The licensing basis PCT, MLO, and CWO are then determined from the overall maxima from the statistical analyses.

2.0 DESCRIPTION

OF MODELS Two primary computer models were used to determine the LOCA response for plant Fermi 2 using the TRACG LOCA method. These models are PRIME ([3]) and TRACG ([4]).

2.1 PRIME The PRIME model provides the parameters to initialize the fuel rod fission gas inventory and rod internal pressure at the onset of a postulated LOCA for input to TRACG. PRIME also provides the initial pellet-cladding gap conductance and other parameters used by TRACG to calculate the transient gap conductance.

2.2 TRACG TRACG calculates the system response of the reactor and the detailed fuel rod heat transfer over a complete spectrum of hypothetical break sizes and locations. TRACG is compatible with the PRIME fuel rod model for gap conductance and fission gas release. A simplified form of the PRIME fuel thermal conductivity model is built into TRACG. TRACG calculates the core and vessel water levels, system pressure response, ECCS performance, and other thermal-hydraulic phenomena occurring in the reactor as a function of time. TRACG conservatively models the sources of heat in the core such as fission power, decay heat, and metal-water reaction. TRACG realistically models all regimes of heat transfer to calculate the transient cladding temperatures and oxidation.

NEDO-33919 REVISION 0 3.0 ANALYSIS PROCEDURE The procedure by which the TRACG-LOCA analysis was performed for plant Fermi 2 is based on the TRACG-LOCA LTR ([2]). The acceptance criteria are based on the United States Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.46 [1]).

3.1 Licensing Criteria 10 CFR 50.46 [1] prescribes the acceptance criteria for ECCS analyses. A summary of the criteria is provided below:

1. The calculated maximum fuel element cladding temperature shall not exceed 2200 °F.

For Fermi 2 TRACG-LOCA, the ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ))

from the statistical analysis must not exceed 2200 °F ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )).

2. The calculated total local oxidation shall not exceed 0.17 times the total cladding thickness before oxidation.

For TRACG-LOCA, the local oxidation limit is 13% ([5]) of the total cladding thickness before oxidation. For Fermi 2 TRACG-LOCA, the ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) from the statistical analysis must be less than 13%.

3. The calculated total amount of hydrogen generated from the chemical reaction of the cladding with water or steam must not exceed 0.01 times the hypothetical amount that would be generated if all the metal in the cladding cylinder surrounding the fuel, excluding the cladding surrounding the plenum volume, were to react.

For Fermi 2 TRACG-LOCA, the ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) from the statistical analysis must be less than 1%.

4. Calculated changes in core geometry shall be such that the core remains amenable to cooling.

For TRACG-LOCA, this criterion is considered to be satisfied if the first three criteria are satisfied.

5. After any calculated successful initial operation of ECCS, the calculated core temperature shall be maintained at an acceptably low value and decay heat shall be removed for the extended period of time required by the long-lived radioactivity remaining in the core.

The existing bases and compliance with this criterion are documented on page III-16 of Volume 2 of [7] and in [10], and are unchanged by application of TRACG-LOCA for Fermi 2. TRACG-LOCA calculations may not be used to address this criterion without further NRC review ([5]).

NEDO-33919 REVISION 0 3.2 TRACG-LOCA Licensing Methodology The TRACG-LOCA licensing methodology approved in [5] and [6] is an ECCS EM developed to analyze BWR LOCA in accordance with 10 CFR 50.46. TRACG-LOCA is a best estimate plus uncertainty type of EM. The analyses result in cycle-independent licensing basis peak cladding temperature (PCT), maximum local oxidation (MLO), and core wide oxidation (CWO) for each fuel product line to which it has been applied.

Potentially limiting break locations, initial conditions, and ECCS performance are determined using inputs that correspond to the nominal trial associated with the statistical analysis. In particular, any inputs that are perturbed for the statistical analysis are taken as the best estimate value, ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) The calculations to determine the potentially limiting breaks are referred to as the break spectrum calculations, or break spectra.

Statistical analyses are performed for ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) For purposes of TRACG-LOCA, a small break is a break for which the break area is less than approximately 0.1 ft2 and a large break is a break for which the break area is greater than approximately 1.1 ft2. An intermediate break is a break for which the break area is in between the small break and large break definitions. Statistical trials are constructed by randomly sampling from distributions representing uncertainties in important model parameters, initial conditions, and plant parameters. To achieve the tri-variate output acceptance criteria (PCT, MLO, CWO), either 124 or 181 statistical trials may be performed for each potentially limiting break. If 124 trials are chosen, then the first ranked result of each output attribute represents a joint 95/95 upper tolerance limit. Alternatively, the same joint upper tolerance limit may be established by performing 181 trials and rejecting two. The decision of the number of trials and which two trials to be rejected, if applicable, must be made prior to performing the statistical analysis.

NEDO-33919 REVISION 0 4.0 INPUT TO ANALYSIS The significant input parameters to the Fermi 2 LOCA analysis are presented in Table 4-1, Table 4-2, and Table 4-3. Chapter 6 of [2] describes the important initial conditions and plant parameters used for input.

4.1 Plant Inputs The significant plant inputs to establish the Fermi 2 LOCA analysis initial conditions are presented in Table 4-1.

The treatment of initial total core power and core flow are described in Section 6.2.1 of [2].

Additionally, Limitation 2.6 of [5] specifies that the calorimetric power uncertainty must be added to the core thermal power. The calorimetric power uncertainty has been added to the core thermal power for Fermi 2 analysis, as shown in Table 4-1. The range of core flows considered are based on the licensed power-flow map and are typically expressed as a percentage of rated.

The treatment of initial feedwater temperature is described in Section 6.2.2 of [2] and confirmed in Section 5.5.1 of [5].

The treatment of initial steam dome pressure and initial downcomer water level are described in Section 6.2.3 and 6.2.4, respectively, of [2]. Section 5.5.1 of [5] indicates that sensitivities to these inputs must be confirmed for each plant application. For Fermi 2 LOCA analysis, a sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the proper initial dome pressure and downcomer water level. The sensitivity analysis results showed that the nominal initial values listed in Table 4-1 are appropriate for Fermi 2 TRACG LOCA analysis.

4.2 Fuel Parameters The modeled bundle power distribution is prescribed in Section 6.2.5 of [2] and confirmed in Section 5.3 of [5]. Additionally, Limitation 2.2 of [5] specifies that a minimum of ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` )) be included in the core model.

The TRACG-LOCA analyses were performed with hot bundles modeled as indicated in Table 4-4 and Table 4-5. The hot bundle modeling is based on the fuel MAPLHGR limits as a function of exposure given in Table 4-2 and Table 4-3 (the limits are the piecewise linear connection of the tabulated points). For GE14 fuel, there are ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) modeled as shown in Table 4-4

((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) For GNF3 fuel, there are ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) modeled as shown in Table 4-5 ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ))

4.3 ECCS Parameters The treatment of ECCS parameters is prescribed in Section 6.3 of [2]. In particular, Table 6.3-1 of [2] specifies analytical limits be applied for certain parameters, while nominal inputs are sufficient for others. Other important plant parameters are summarized in Table 6.3-2 of [2].

Limitation 2.4 of [5] essentially requires that analytical limits be applied to these parameters (as opposed to statistical sampling).

The key ECCS performance inputs for Fermi 2 TRACG-LOCA analysis are summarized in Table 4-6.

Page 9

NEDO-33919 REVISION 0 4.4 Analyzed Operating Statepoints See Section 4.1 for a discussion of the requirements for initial core power, core flow, and feedwater temperature. Based on these requirements, calculations are performed for the following power-flow-feedwater temperature initial conditions:

A) CLTP - current licensed thermal power plus uncertainty, rated core flow, rated normal feedwater temperature B) MELLLA - current licensed thermal power plus uncertainty, MELLLA core flow, rated normal feedwater temperature C) ICF - current licensed thermal power plus uncertainty, ICF core flow, rated normal feedwater temperature D) FWTR - current licensed thermal power plus uncertainty, rated core flow, reduced feedwater temperature E) SLO - analytical core thermal power of 2313 MW (66.1% of 3499 MW), 48% core flow, normal feedwater temperature (adjusted for reduced power)

The particular core flow corresponding to MELLLA and ICF are given in the OPL-4 [8].

4.5 Single Failure Based on the OPL-5 form in [8], Table 4-7 shows the various combinations of Automatic Depressurization System (ADS), High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System, Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS) System and Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI) System which are credited for standard ECCS LOCA analysis. In performing the ECCS performance analysis with TRACG-LOCA, GEH assumes that no postulated single active component failure will result in less than the minimum combinations of systems remaining, as shown in Table 4-7.

Only the first three single failures in Table 4-7 are necessary for the standard LOCA analysis in Section 5.0, which are Div I Battery, Div II Battery and LPCI Injection Valve. The other three single failures in Table 4-7, which are DG, HPCI and One ADS Valve, result in more ECCS systems than at least one of the first three single failures and, therefore, are not considered in the calculations in Section 5.0.

4.6 Break Locations and Break Sizes Based on [2], core spray line (CSL), feedwater line (FWL), recirculation suction line (RSL),

recirculation discharge line (RDL), reactor water cleanup (RWCU) line outside containment and main steam line breaks are considered. Break sizes ranging from the minimum size that meets the definition of a LOCA ([1]) to 200% of the largest applicable pipe cross-sectional area are considered. Where appropriate, a DEGB is modeled either in addition to or instead of a 200%

area split break.

Core spray line break sizes from approximately ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) to 200% of the cross-sectional flow area of a 12 core spray pipe are modeled.

Feedwater line break sizes from approximately ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) to 200% of the cross-sectional flow area of a 20 feedwater pipe are modeled.

Main steam line outside containment break sizes from approximately ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) to 200%

of the cross-sectional flow area of the TRACG-LOCA model combined steam line downstream of the equalizing header are modeled. A DEGB of a main steam line upstream of the flow limiter is also modeled.

The minimum detectable break size for the loop selection logic assumed in the analysis is 0.15 ft2 [8] , as shown in Table 4-6. The loop selection logic is assumed to choose the intact loop for break sizes larger than 0.15 ft2. The loop selection logic is assumed to choose the broken loop for break sizes smaller than 0.15 ft2.

NEDO-33919 REVISION 0 9.0 APPENDIX A - EXAMPLE TRANSIENT SEQUENCE OF EVENTS AND PLOTS The sequence of events and key parameters are presented for the LOCA types of interest. For each type, one particular nominal case (i.e., from the break spectra) is chosen for more detailed description. The success of the ECCS in mitigating the large breaks is primarily based on how rapidly the LPCS and LPCI flow can be delivered to the reactor.

The following cases are selected from the Section 5.0 licensing LOCA analysis.

9.1 Small Recirculation Suction Line Break The GNF3 ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) recirculation suction line break, initiated from the MELLLA condition for Div II Battery failure, is presented as an example (see Table 9-1 and Figure 9-1 through Figure 9-9). Results from a small recirculation discharge line break are very similar.

9.2 Intermediate Recirculation Suction Line Break The GNF3 ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) recirculation suction line break, initiated from the MELLLA condition for Div I Battery failure, is presented as an example (see Table 9-2 and Figure 9-10 through Figure 9-18). Results from an intermediate recirculation discharge line break are very similar.

9.3 Intermediate Recirculation Suction Line Break The GNF3 ((` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` )) recirculation suction line break, initiated from the CLTP condition for Div II Battery failure, is presented as an example (see Table 9-3 and Figure 9-19 through Figure 9-27). Results from an intermediate recirculation discharge line break are very similar.

9.4 Recirculation Discharge Line DEGB The GNF3 recirculation discharge DEGB, initiated from the CLTP condition for Div II Battery failure, is presented as an example (see Table 9-4 and Figure 9-28 through Figure 9-36).

Results from other large recirculation suction and discharge line breaks are similar.
