Uncertainty is evaluated at the proposed Appendix K uprated power of 2737 MW(th). The Appendix K power represents an increase of approximately 1.4% from the current licensed power limit of 2700 MW(th).This calculation also generates the relative magnitudes of the uncertainties of the parameters which comprise the secondary calorimetric uncertainty.

This calculation addresses the normal operating condition of the ultrasonic flow meters, and the degraded (maintenance) mode.2.0 COMPONENT LISTING 2.1 Calorimetric power is calculated using the following instrumentation:

CCN-IC-0 8001 Revision 1 Page 6 of 36 CCN-IC-08001 Revision I Page 6 of 36 BG&E Calculation CA06945, Revision 1 2.1.6 Calorimetric Constants 2.1.6.1 Calorimetric constants are assigned to calorimetric inputs not directly measured by plant instruments such as* Heat addition to the reactor coolant system (RCS) from the pressurizer heaters and reactor coolant pumps.* Net heat loss from the RCS to letdown flow.* Net heat loss from the RCS through insulation.

• Steam generator exit steam quality.3.0 FIGURES None 4.0 METHOD OF ANALYSIS Overall Heat Balance Uncertainty Determination The overall heat balance uncertainty is determined by combining the uncertainties associated with each input to. the heat balance calculation.

The following uncertainties are considered:

• Feedwater Temperature 0 Feedwater Flow" Feedwater Pressure* Steam Pressure* Blowdown Flow* Steam Quality" Assumed Values (Ambient Heat Losses, RCP Heat Input, Pressurizer Heaters, etc.)* Plant Computer Calculation Accuracy (Algorithms and A/D)The equation used to compute the uncertainty associated with the heat balance calculation is obtained by taking the total differential of the overall heat balance equation.

The partial derivatives in the total differential represent the effects of a change in a given parameter (weighting factors).

The differentials (dmFw, etc.) represent the uncertainty of each input. Random Uncertainties (U) are combined using the Square Root Sum of Square and bias uncertainties (B) are added.The final uncertainties are obtained by adding the positive bias terms to the positive random term and the negative bias terms to the negative random component.

This is obtained for the normal operating configuration and for the degraded (maintenance) mode of the ultrasonic flow meters (UFMs). Uncertainties for the Maintenance mode generally have a -M subscript addition.

The uncertainties for the normal operating CCN-IC-08001 Revision I Page 7 of 36 BG&E Calculation CA06945, Revision 1 configuration of the UFMs and the degraded (maintenance) mode are also computed for the condition where single-side-of-interest is credited as defined in Section 8.1 of Reference 7.1.5; since only negative uncertainties are of concern when verifying that the Appendix K limits are not exceeded.The feedwater temperature value, as computed within the Caldon-Cameron UFMs, has random uncertainties only. However, per Reference 7.1.8, a small portion of the feedwater temperature error is considered dependent with the feedwater flow error.Therefore, these two errors are added for a total random term, before being combined with the other random errors in the equation.Relative Uncertainty Contributions The relative contribution of each random input to calorimetric uncertainty is determined by the following expression.

U INPUT =U INPUT lU INPUT Where:U'INpUT is the relative contribution of the random uncertainty UINPUT is the random uncertainty of an input parameter UCAL is the total random uncertainty of the secondary calorimetric This expression can be combined with the associated bias input to find the net contribution of that input to calorimetric uncertainty.

U'INPUTNET

= U INPUT + B INPUT Where: BINPUT is the bias uncertainty of an input parameter.

The net contribution of each input to net calorimetric uncertainty can then be found by the following expression.

U -INPUT-NET U INPUT-NET%-

U CAL-NET Where:UINPUT.NET%

is the net relative contribution of an input to the net calorimetric uncertainty.

UCAL-NET is the net calorimetric uncertainty.

Note that for ease in computations, the dependent portion of the feedwater temperature uncertainty is included with the feedwater flow uncertainty in determining the relative uncertainty contribution for feedwater flow. This is appropriate because of the small contribution of the feedwater temperature to the feedwater flow value, and the small magnitude of the feedwater temperature in comparison to the non-dependent feedwater temperature uncertainty.

Therefore, this has little impact on the overall computations of the relative uncertainty contributions.

CCN-IC-0800 1 Revision 1 Page 8 of 36 CCN-IC-08001 Revision I Page 8 of 36 BG&E Calculation CA06945, Revision 1 5.0 DESIGN INPUTS 5.1 Per Reference 7.1.2, the following equation is used to compute the thermal output of one steam generator:

Q=(mFW-mBDXachFS

+3hs -hFW)+mBD(hFS -hFW)-C where, mFw = feedwater flow mBD = blowdown flow hFs = fluid component of steam enthalpy hs = vapor component of steam enthalpy hFw = feedwater enthalpy (compressed liquid)P3 = steam quality c = moisture carryover

= 1 -[3 C = correction factor for miscellaneous heat sources and sinks (pressurizer heaters, reactor coolant pumps, RCS insulation losses, etc.)The equation used to compute the uncertainty associated with the heat balance calculation is obtained by taking the total differential of the heat balance equation.

The partial derivatives in the total differential represent the effects of a change in a given parameter (weighting factors).

The differentials (dmFw, etc.) represent the uncertainty of each input.Therefore, the uncertainty associated with the heat balance calculation is computed with the following equation: dQ- Q dmFW + dmBD + QdhFS+ dh dhFW + hQ dC amFW GInBD ah FS ahs ah FW aC where,"__ _ FhFS +Phs-hFw aQ _ -chFs -_ 3hs +hFs'm BD aQ _ c(mFW mBD)+mBD tDh FS DQ P(mFW- mBD)ahs aQ _F ah FW.aQ-1 DC CCN-IC-0800 1 Revision 1 Page 9 of 36 CCN-IC-08001 Revision I Page 9 of 36 BG&E Calculation CA06945, Revision 1 dmFw = feedwater flow uncertainty dmBD = blowdown flow uncertainty dhAs = steam enthalpy (fluid portion of saturated steam) uncertainty dhs = steam enthalpy uncertainty dhFw = feedwater enthalpy uncertainty dC = correction factor uncertainty The dhFs and dhs terms are both random dependent on steam quality, and the dC term is a bias value programmed into the computer.

The feedwater enthalpy term dhFw is impacted by the measurement of feedwater pressure and feedwater flow. Note that there is a dependency in the error term for feedwater flow and a small portion of the feedwater temperature error. Therefore, the enthalpy uncertainties for feedwater temperature and pressure are separated out, such that the following terms are derived.dhFwT = feedwater enthalpy uncertainty (from non-dependent FW temp error)dhFwTd = feedwater enthalpy uncertainty (from dependent FW temp error)dhFwP = feedwater enthalpy uncertainty (from FW pressure error)Plant computer uncertainties in the computation of enthalpies are considered within this calculation.

The enthalpy errors, as defined within the plant computer specifications, are applied for each enthalpy computed, multiplied by the appropriate weighting factor, and then are combined to form a single uncertainty term (UsG-PC) per steam generator.

Bias errors exist for the correction factor uncertainty and the steam pressure measurement.

The overall heat balance uncertainty equation is re-written as follows, considering two instances of the random uncertainties, which are computed per steam generator:

dQ=dC+ 2xhsM dh, (Bias)+ 2 x dhs(Bias)j

+aQ dhFs+ aQ dhs ahFs h Therefore, random uncertainties, per steam generator, are computed with the following equation: CCN-IC-08001 Revision I Page 10 of 36 BG&E Calculation CA06945, Revision 1 OQ " _h _ 2+ 1"Q dh,+ Q dhs +-u FS c0h , Random dQ = +/- ' ---dhFwp P + aQ dhFwr + USGPC Bias uncertainty is computed with the following equation: Bias dQ=dC+r2 x dh--Fs(Bias)+2x a dhS(Bias 5.2 Per Reference 7.2.4, the uncertainty associated with the constant value used to account for heat input to the RCS by the pressurizer heaters and electrical equipment is +1.603 MW / -0.0 MW.Per Reference 7.2.4, the uncertainty associated with the constant value used to account for fixed insulation losses is +0.35 MW / -0.35 MW.Per Reference 7.2.4, the uncertainty associated with the constant value used to account for letdown flow losses is +1.29 MBtu / hr / -3.05 MBtu / hr (Unit 1) and +1.35 MBtu / hr/ -3.19 MBtu / hr (Unit 2). For conservatism, an uncertainty of +1.35 MBtu / hr / -3.19 MBtu / hr is used for both Unit 1 and Unit 2. Using a conversion factor of 3.412141 btu /hr / w, this uncertainty equates to +0.40 MW / -0.93 MW.Per Reference 7.2.4, the uncertainty associated with the constant value used to account for energy added to the RCS by the RCPs is +0.61 MW / -0.61 MW.Therefore, the total bias associated with known heat sources and sinks is +2.963 MW / -1.89 MW. Using a conversion factor of 3.412141 btu / hr / w, this uncertainty equates to+10.11 MBtu / hr / -6.45 MBtu / hr. These terms compose the dC term in the equation developed in Design Input 5.1.5.3 Per Reference 7.1.2, the accuracy of the plant computer calculation of enthalpy is +/-0.10 Btu /lbm.5.4 Reference

7.2.4 provides

the uncertainty (for 100% power only) associated with the determination of main steam quality (maximum uncertainty of +/-0.000364), which is only applicable if an actual estimated steam quality is used within the secondary calorimetric computation, instead of 1. Per Reference 7.1.3, steam quality, X, is set to 1 for use in the secondary calorimetric computation, as recommended by Reference 7.2.4. Therefore, these errors don't apply.If carryover is considered, the gross thermal output of one steam generator is represented by the following equation.CCN-IC-0800 1 Revision 1 Page 11 of36 CCN-IC-08001 Revision I Page I I of 36 BG&E Calculation CA06945, Revision 1 QSG = (MFW)[(1 -XOhFS + XhGS -hFw ]+ (XMBD XhFS -hGs)This reduces to the following equation.QSG = (MFW XhFS -hFW)+ (XXMFW -MBD XhGS -hFs)Since quality only has values of 1 or less, the calculated thermal output, using a quality of 1, will always be equal to or greater than actual thermal output. This results in a positive uncertainty, which is generally considered to be the conservative direction for this error.Therefore, the potential errors due to steam quality variations are NOT considered within this calculation.

5.5 Per Reference 7.1.8, the fully functional LEFM,4+ system mass flow uncertainty is+/-0.30%. The maintenance mode system mass flow uncertainty is +/-0.52%.The fully functional LEFMJ+ systematic temperature error related to the mass flow error is +/-0.11'F, and the random temperature error is +/-0.56°F. The maintenance mode LEFM'.+ systematic temperature error related to the mass flow error is +/-0.05°F, and the random temperature error is +/-0.57°F.Per Section III of Appendix C of Reference 7.1.8, "In the determination of overall thermal power uncertainty, terms A and B will be provided by Cameron, based in part on a feedwater pressure uncertainty provided by the utility. This uncertainty is generally assumed to be within 15 psi." All of the above specifications are conservatively treated as system errors, including both headers. The flow values are the errors associated with the totalized flow between both headers, but since the error is expressed as a percentage, the addition of these flows and errors acts as though the system were an averaging device. The temperature errors are errors in the total average temperature reading. The pressure errors are errors in the total average pressure reading. This calculation analyzes random errors on a per loop basis.Therefore, for analysis purposes, this calculation first converts these errors to loop values, by the following relationship, assuming an averaging function.Error (Total) = +/- Error(Loop)

= + Error(Loop)

V/No. of Loops Error(Loop)

= +/-V2 x Error (Total)Note: This equation produces error values that are conservative (large), as compared to the loop values computed within Appendix A.2 of Reference 7.1.8 (specifically comparing the normal mode loop flow errors to this method). Therefore, this is considered to be an acceptable approach.CCN-IC-0800 1 Revision.

The actual uncertainty for the feedwater pressure transmitter that supplies the signal to the UFMs is much less than +/-15 psi, based on Reference 7.2.5.It is assumed that the signal conditioning does not increase the overall uncertainty of the feedwater pressure signal above an overall value of +/-15 psi.6.3 The blowdown flow rate used in this analysis is a nominal value, per steam generator, which is based on the various flow limits established by References 7.3.3 and 7.3.4. The assumed total flow rate of 110,000 lbmnhr is assumed to be split evenly between steam generators.

9.2.1 Random

Uncertainties of Process Parameter Indications on Plant Computer Per Section III of Appendix C of Reference 7.1.8, "In the determination of overall thermal power uncertainty, terms A and B will be provided by Cameron, based in part on a feedwater pressure uncertainty provided by the utility. This uncertainty is generally assumed to be within 15 psi." This requirement is for the system pressure or the average between the two loops. Very accurate instrumentation is being installed for this application, with uncertainties which are significantly smaller than 15 psi (Reference 7.2.5). The uncertainty associated with the feedwater pressure measurement is conservatively set equal to +/-15 psi x 21/2 +/-21.21 psi for this computation, per Assumption 6.2. The effect of this uncertainty on the calculation of the feedwater enthalpy is as follows: Feedwater Pressure Uncertainty Effects Power Feedwater Feedwater (% RTP) Pressure Temperature Ideal hFw Pos hFwP Neg hFwP Pos dhFwP Neg dhFwP (psia) (OF) (btu/Ibm) (btu/lbm) (btu/Ibm) (btu/Ibm) (btu/ibm)100 860.00 433.00 411.633 411.650 411.616 0.017 -0.017 Note: Ideal hFw = Enthalpy (Feedwater Pressure, Feedwater Temperature)

Neg hFwp = Enthalpy (Feedwater Pressure -21.21 psi, Feedwater Temperature)

Since this evaluation is primarily to support the License Amendment Request (LAR) for the Appendix K uprate, only negative bias uncertainties are considered for this evaluation.

First, the individual random uncertainty terms computed within Section 9.2.3 are multiplied by the square root of two, in order to make these random total values instead of single steam generator values. The terms are also divided by 1,000,000 to convert the values to units of Mbtulhr. The following table provides the presentation of those terms, along with a summary of the negative bias error terms.

This is appropriate because of the small contribution of the feedwater temperature to the feedwater flow value, and the small magnitude of the feedwater temperature in comparison to the non-dependent feedwater temperature uncertainty.
