ATTACHMENT 4 Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2, 10 CFR 50.46 Report Assessment Notes

1. Prior Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) Assessment The referenced letter reported a new Westinghouse LOCA analysis of record (AOR),

which incorporated modifications for the newly added recirculation pump adjustable speed drives (ASD). The new AOR (Revision 5) updated the LOCA analysis to apply approved updated Westinghouse methods, incorporate previous corrections, and update plant specific inputs. The new Westinghouse LOCA analysis demonstrated that the limiting peak cladding temperature (PCT) was 2150°F. The referenced letter also reported the impact of subsequent corrections for an incorrect bypass hole flow coefficient, and for updated vessel leakage values. The PCT impact of these two corrections on the limiting PCT was 9°F and 2°F, respectively.

2. Prior LOCA Assessment The referenced letter reported no new PCT assessment for the Westinghouse LOCA analysis. Also, no emergency core cooling system (ECCS)-related changes or modifications occurred at Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) that affected the assumptions of the ECCS analyses.

3. Prior LOCA Assessment The referenced letter provided the annual 10 CFR 50.46 report for Units 1 and 2. The letter reported errors in the current Westinghouse QCNPS LOCA analysis associated with the use of incorrect R-factors. The impact due to this change was determined to be an 18°F increase in PCT. For 10 CFR 50.46 reporting purposes, the PCT update was conservatively applied to all bundle types including the fresh bundles. This PCT update will remain in effect only until the maximum average planar linear heat generation rate (MAPLHGR) limits for all bundles in future QCNPS Units 1 and 2 cores are evaluated with the correct R-factors.

7. Current Assessment The new USA6 LOCA Evaluation Model and calculation has been implemented for QCNPS Unit 2 for all fresh fuel starting with Cycle 24. This evaluation model and calculation supplement the existing Evaluation Model and calculation. This model reports a limiting PCT of 2150°F and has no additional PCT impacts or estimates.

Additionally, there are no new changes, error corrections, or enhancements in the current QCNPS LOCA analysis based on the USA5 LOCA Evaluation Model. Also, no ECCS-related changes or modifications occurred at QCNPS that affected the assumptions in the ECCS analyses.
