Arizona Public Service Company (APS) letter no. 102-06113, "30-Day Report Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii) and Submittal of Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident Reanalysis Results," from J. Hesser, APS to USNRC, dated December 22, 2009 (NRC ADAMS Accession No.ML100040066)
Dear Sirs:
Subject:
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS)Units 1, 2, and 3 Docket Nos. STN 50-528/529/530 Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) Performance Evaluation Models, 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii)
Annual Report For Calendar Year 2009 Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii), APS is providing a summary of the cumulative effects on calculated peak clad temperature (PCT) for PVNGS due to changes or errors in ECCS performance evaluation models (see Enclosure 1). In 2009, APS reported in the above referenced letter, a significant change associated with the large break loss of coolant accident (LOCA) ECCS performance evaluation.
ECCS performance for large break LOCA was reanalyzed in 2009 and the results of the analysis were reported to the NRC in the letter referenced above. The reanalysis incorporated and corrected previously identified changes and errors, resetting the cumulative changes and error corrections that had previously been reported through the end of calendar year 2008.St r A member of the STARS (Strategic Teaming and Resource Sharing) Alliance Callaway

Annual Report Page 2 The results in Enclosure 1 are based on the 2009 reanalysis that reset the cumulative changes and error corrections that had previously been reported.
As shown in Enclosure 1, there was one change that affected the PVNGS large break LOCA peak clad temperature (PCT) calculation by as much as 4°F for Unit 1. There were no changes that affected the PVNGS large break LOCA PCT calculation for Units 2 and 3.The Unit 1 change was not a significant change. There were no known errors or changes that affected the small break LOCA PCT calculation.
Additionally, because PCT is not calculated as part of the post LOCA long-term cooling (LTC) analysis, there are no changes or errors in the LTC models that affect PCT.Enclosures 2 provides a more detailed discussion of the changes and errors associated with the large break LOCA analysis during this reporting period. Enclosure 2 is Westinghouse Electric Company report, "Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Units 1, 2, and 3, 10 CFR 50.46 Annual Notification and Reporting for 2009" (letter number LTR-LAM-1 0-13, dated February 11, 2010). This report describes the changes and errors in Westinghouse (formerly Combustion Engineering) models for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) ECCS performance analysis in calendar year 2009.No commitments are being made to the NRC by this letter.Should you need further information regarding this submittal, please contact Russell A.Stroud, Licensing Section Leader, at (623) 393-5111.Sincerely, TNW/RAS/RKR/gat ATTN: Document Control Desk U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)Performance Evaluation Models, 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(ii)
