Aiiieien Callaway Plant MISSOURI March 22, 2022 ULNRC-06725 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 10 CFR 50.46 Ladies and Gentlemen:
DOCKET NUMBER 50-483 CALLAWAY PLANT UNIT 1 UNION ELECTRIC CO.
RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NPF-30 10 CFR 50.46 ANNUAL REPORT REGARDING ECCS EVALUATION MODEL REVISIONS Ameren Missouri hereby submits the annual report required per 1 0 CFR 50.46(a)(3) for Callaway Plant. to this letter describes those changes to the Westinghouse ECCS Large Break and Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) Evaluation Models that have been implemented for Callaway during the time period from March 2021 to March 2022. Attachment 2 provides an ECCS Evaluation Model Margin Assessment which accounts for all peak cladding temperature (PCT) changes resulting from the resolution ofprior issues as they apply to Callaway. No new PCT penalties are identified in these attachments.
References 1 through 16 (listed on page 2 of this letter) are the annual 1 0 CFR 50.46 reports that have been submitted since the LOCA analyses were revised to reflect the installation of the replacement steam generators in 2005. As reported in each ofthese reports, the PCT values determined in the Large Break and Small Break LOCA analyses of record, when combined with all PCT margin allocations, remain below the 2200°F regulatory limit. However, in March 20 14, Ameren Missouri was informed by Westinghouse that the absolute magnitude of the Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LBLOCA) penalty assessments accumulated in the analyses of record for Callaway (since replacement of the steam generators) had reached a value that exceeded 50°F. The letter identified as Reference 9 was then submitted pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii), containing a commitment to reanalyze the Large Break and Small Break Loss of Coolant Accidents using the NRC-approved version of WCAP-l 6996-P, Realistic LOCA Evaluation Methodology Applied to the Full Spectrum ofBreak Sizes (FULL SPECTRUM LOCA Methodology). That reanalysis has not yet 83 15 County Road 459 Steedman, MO 65077 AmerenMissouri.com
ULNRC-06725 March 22, 2022 Page 2 of 4 been performed; however, it should be noted that Ameren Missouri is currently in the process of evaluating a change in fuel vendors for Callaway Plant. After that determination is made, the required reanalysis will be completed on a schedule appropriate to the selected fuel vendor.
This letter does not contain new commitments. for any questions on this report, please contact Mr.
Tom Elwood at (314) 225-1905.
