APPENDIX 2: NATCON INFORMATION Hot Channel Factors in the NATCON Code Version 1.0 The NATOON code version 1.0 [Ref. ANL/RERTR/TM-12]

uses three hot channel factors (FQ, FW, FH). Using the source code and documentation, the factor FH used in NATCON is found to be the same as the factor FNUSLT used by E. E. Feldman. Table 1 shows the tolerances and uncertainties included in each of the six hot channel factors used by E. E. Feldman. The correspondence between the NATCON hot channel factors and E. E. Feldman's six hot channel factors is as follows.Feldman's Hot Channel FactorNC CNInu Variable System-wide Factors: FFLOW a factor to account for the uncertainty in total reactor flow FPOWER a factor to account for the uncertainty in total reactor power FNUSLT a factor to account for the uncertainty in Nu number correlation FW (approximately)

The results of section 2.3 are summarized here for convenience.

The first three are local/random hot channel factors, and the last three are system-wide.

An example of the use of these hot channel factors is given in section 4, with NATCON running instructions in section 3, and the new input description in section 5.FBULK- 1 +j{(1 + u)2a+ (1+ u 2)2+-r-:U1 +u62 FBULK is higher (conservative) if the temperature dependence of water viscosity is ignored.FFILM = 11u 1 2+/-+u 2 2+/-+u 3 2 +u 4 2+/-+u 5 2 FFLUX -- 1 2 +u 2 2+/-+u 3 2 +u4 FQ = 1 +u-FW = 1 + u 8 FH = 1 +- u 9 where ul= Fractional uncertainty in neiitronics calculation of power in a plate u2= Fractional uncertainty in U-235 mass per plate =Am/_M u3 Fractional uncertainty in local (at an axial position) fuel meat thickness u4= Fractional uncertainty in U-235 local (at an axial position) homogeneity u 5 = Fractional uncertainty in coolant channel thickness

If the user-input reactor power is zero, then the code itself chooses the nominal power from a series of power levels (10 kW, 100 kW, 200 kW, and so on increasing in steps of 100 kW). This thermal-hydraulic calculation is done for a hot plate power of CPWR*FQ*(Radial power peaking factor RPEAK)/(Total number of fuel plates in standard and control assemblies).

Also, the frictional resistance to flow is multiplied by FW 2 , and the convective heat transfer coefficient found for laminar flow in a rectangular channel is divided by FH. The random hot channel factors FBULK, FFILM and FFLUX are not used in this solution.Having obtained the above solution, the random hot channel factors FBULK, FFILM and FFLUX are applied to the temperatures obtained, using the following equations.

The temperatures calculated with all six hot channel factors are printed after the above solution.

The onset of nucleate boiling ratio, ONBR, is computed using the temperatures with all six hot channel factors applied (using the equation below). If the user-input nominal power is zero, then the last nominal power for which the code prints a solution is that at which the ONBR is 1.0.Ti,6hcf = To + (Ti- To)*FBULK Twalj,i,6hcf

The flow rate is calculated in the code by balancing the buoyancy pressure force to the laminar friction pressure drop. Following this concept, an analytical relationship is developed here (with some approximation) for the coolant flow rate in a single coolant channel in terms of the power generated in a fuel plate and the channel geometrical dimensions.

The analytical relationship is needed for obtaining hot channel factors.The hot channel factor FW used in the code to account for the uncertainty in coolant flow rate is actually applied to the laminar friction factor in the code, that is, the laminar friction factor is multiplied by FW 2.It is not applied directly to the flow rate. The relationship developed here explains how this technique works.p 1 , T 1 at channel outlet IL = Channel height containing hot coolant (hotter than pool), m IP = Power in a single fuel plate or the two half plates, W IW=Upward flow rate in a single channel, kg/s po, To at channel inlet Schematic of what the code analyses, that is, a single rectangular coolant channel heated by a half of a fuel plate on each side (right and left sides).The above schematic shows what the code analyses, that is, a single rectangular coolant channel heated by a half of a fuel plate on each side (right and left sides).

-WC(6)Ignoring the minor losses at channel inlet and outlet, the laminar frictional pressure drop in the channel is written below as Eq. (9) after using the laminar friction factor given by Eq. (7), and after replacing the coolant velOcity by mass flow rate using Eq. (8). The parameter C in Eq. (7)is a constant for a given channel cross section, but it depends upon the channel cross section aspect ratio width/thickness, and varies from 57 for aspect ratio 1.0 (square channel) to 96 for an infinite aspect ratio (infinitely wide channel).f =C /Re (7)W= pAV (8)PUR-1 SAR Appendix 2-5 PUR- SARAppndix2-5Rev 2, July 23, 2015 Fritioal _ p 2 = C 4 ULcW(9 Fritioal P 2D 2 p AD 2 9 where f -Moody friction factor for laminar flow in the channel Re -Reynolds number in the channel = ,oVD/,u A = Flow area of the channel cross section, m 2 D = Equivalent hydraulic diameter of the channel cross section, m Lc = Total coolant channel length causing frictional pressure drop, m.V = Coolant velocity averaged over the channel cross section, m/s W = Coolant mass flow rate in the channel, kg/s 11 = Average coolant dynamic viscosity in the channel, N-s/rn 2/u (T) = Temperature-dependent dynamic viscosity of water, N-s/rn 2/-Uo =1 , (To) = Coolant dynamic viscosity at the channel inlet temperature To For the PUR-1 reactor, the temperature dependence of the dynamic viscosity of water over the temperature range 27 00 < T < 50 °0 can be approximated as follows.pz(T)= ,p(To) (1+T-T)0)- (10)where a = 0.12, To = 2700C, , ( To) = 0.875x10 -3 N-s/in 2 The average coolant dynamic viscosity ,p used in Eq.

Putting this temperature in Eq.(10), the average viscosity ,u is found to be= ,p(To) (1 +0.5AT)0-. (11 )Equation (11) indicates that the average viscosity 41 can be set equal to ,p ( To) if AT is just a few 00 (this is the case for the PUR-1 reactor at the operating power of 1 kW). If AT is greater than a few 00, i.e., 1 <<0.5AT (this is the case for the PUR-1 reactor at an ONB power of about 100 kW), then Eq. (11) simplifies to the following.

It is used to find the dependence of the flow rate on the parameter C in the laminar friction factor (at constant power). All parameters in this equation are constant is also practically constant)except the parameter C in the laminar friction factor. Based on Eq.(15), the relationship between the flow rate W and the parameter C is given by Eq. (16) below.Wcc I (16)Equation (16) shows that the friction factor parameter C is multiplied by a factor (FW)2 , the 2 coolant flow rate W will be reduced by the factor (FW)2+a,. This has been verified by actually running the NATCON code for the PUR-1 reactor. Since a is small (a = 0.12 for the PUR-1 reactor), 21(2+a) is nearly 1.0, and the flow rate W is reduced approximately by the factor FW.Bulk Coolant Temperature Rise versus Power of a Fuel Plate Equation (5) expresses, for laminar natural circulation, the bulk coolant temperature rise in terms of fuel plate power, coolant flow rate and specific heat. Putting the value of flow rate obtained in Eq. (15) into Eq. (5), the bulk coolant temperature rise is given by Eq. (17) below, purely in terms of power and the geometrical dimensions of the channel. The right hand side of Eq. (17) is rearranged into two factors in Eq. (18), such that the second factor is sensitive to power and channel geometrical dimensions that usually have manufacturing tolerances and PUR-1 SAR Appendix 2-7 PUR- SARAppndix2-7Rev 2, July 23, 2015 measurement uncertainties, and the first factor is insensitive to power and channel geometrical dimensions.

-- --CfOL -7_- 1 (23)C 4w~t 3 Formulas for Hot Channel Factors For use in the NATCON version 2.0, six hot channel factors (three global/systemic and three local/random) are obtained from 9 manufacturing tolerances and measurement uncertainties u 1 , u=,..., u 9 that are defined below. These are fractional uncertainties rather than percent. Of these nine uncertainties, those affecting a particular hot channel factor are indicated in Table 1. The systemic hot channel factors are given by Eqs. (24) through (26), and the random hot channel factors are given by Eqs. (27) through (29). A utility Fortran computer program NATCON_HCF and a Microsoft spreadsheet NATCON.HotChanFactors.xls have also been developed to compute the hot channel factors using these formulas.EQ = 1 + u 7 (24)FW =1 + u 8 (25)FH = 1 + u 9 (26)The ratio of the power generated in hot plate to its nominal power, caused by the uncertainties in neutronics-computed power and in U-235 mass per plate, can be written as Ph...._c (1 +u 1)(1+/-+u 2) (27)nPo The ratio of bulk coolant temperature rise in hot channel to the temperature rise in the nominal Channel, caused by the uncertainties in neutronics-computed power, U-235 mass per plate, and channel thickness, is obtained from Eq. (23). Only the quantity in the second parentheses is important here because the quantity in the first parentheses is insensitive to these uncertainties.

~h 1 (28)The uncertainty in flow distribution is assumed to reduce the channel flow to (1- U 6) times the flow without this uncertainty, and therefore the bulk coolant temperature rise is increased by the factor (1+ u 6). This uncertainty in bulk coolant temperature rise is statistically combined with that given by Eq. (28) to obtain the following formula for the hot channel factor FBULK for input to the NATOON version 2.0.FBULK= 1 +,

(31). Here the laminar Nusselt number Nu is independent of flow rate, and varies only slowly with the aspect ratio (width/thickness) of coolant channel. The main variation of the heat transfer coefficient with channel thickness is due to the denominator of Eq. (31). The numerator of Eq. (31) is considered to be constant.h -NKc°° -N"IKC°°!

This information is not presented in the SAR chapters on thermal hydraulics.

Question 28 28. Appendix 1. From the information in Appendix 1 it is not clear how insignificant are the channel inlet and outlet losses when compared to the wall shear. Please clarify.Response: The information in Appendix 1 was used only to obtain hot channel factors for input to a more detailed thermal-hydraulic calculation using the NATCON code [Ref. 8 of the conversion proposal].

Therefore, Appendix 1 is a simplified modeling of what is calculated in detail in NATCON, and it is used only for the purpose of obtaining closed-form equations from which hot channel factors could be found. Appendix 1 does not include the minor losses. The minor losses calculated by NATCON are reported below, and found to be about 16% of the total frictional pressure drop in the HEU core, and 14% of the total frictional pressure drop in the LEU core (see Table 027-1 ).The pressure drop due to inlet and outlet losses were calculated (by the NATCON code) using loss coefficients of 0.5 and 1.0 respectively.

The pressure drop due to wall shear along the channel length is found by summing the pressure drop for each axial mesh which is calculated using temperature-dependent coolant viscosity and density for the axial mesh (14 mesh intervals were used over the channel length in all calculations).

The pressure drops are calculated by NATCON assuming fully developed laminar flow in a rectangular cross-section channel, and then multiplied by a factor FW 2 (FW squared) where FW is an input which may be used to account for the increased pressure drop due to hydrodynamically developing laminar flow. In the calculations presented in the conversion proposal, FW was always set to 1.0, and thus the increased pressure drop due to developing laminar flow was not included.

It is included in the calculations presented here (Table 027-1). The method used is described below.For the most limiting fuel plate in Table 4-27 of the conversion proposal for each core (HEU and LEU), a comparison of the pressure drops due to inlet plus outlet loss and wall shear, with and without the effect of developing laminar flow, are tabulated in Table 027-1.NATCON calculates the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor f = C/Re for laminar flow, using a built-in table of the parameter C for different aspect ratios of the rectangular channel cross section PUR-1 SAR Appendix 2-12 PUR- SARAppedix

-12Rev 2, July 23, 2015 (values of parameter C are given in the response to Question number 29). An apparent value of the parameter C averaged over the channel length, called Capp, was calculated using Eq. (576)of Shah and London [Ref. 2 listed at the end of all responses]

to account for the increased pressure drop due to hydrodynamically developing laminar flow in the channel. The ratio Capp/C was found to be 1.1105 for the 207 mil HEU channel, 1.0985 for the 197 mil LEU channel. Since the NATOON code multiplies the fully developed friction factor by FW 2 as mentioned above, the input FW equals 1.054 and 1.048 for the HEU and LEU channels respectively.

NATCON calculations were done using these values of FW, and the pressure drops due to inlet plus outlet loss and wall shear are compared in Table Q27-1 (column B for the HEU channel, and column F for the LEU channel).Table Q27-1 shows that the pressure drops due to wall shear and minor losses are 84% and 16%, respectively, of the total pressure drop in the HEU channel at its ONB power; and the pressure drops due to wall shear and inlet plus outlet loss are 86% and 14%, respectively, of the total pressure drop in the LEU channel at its ONB power.Question 29 29. Appendix 1. From the information in Appendix 1 it is not clear what is the functional dependency of the laminar friction parameter C to the channel cross-section dimensions.

Provide a reference for the evaluation of C.Response: The following values (rows 1 and 2 of Table Q29-1) of the parameter C for fully developed laminar flow in a channel of rectangular cross section versus the width-to-thickness aspect ratio (Wc/tc) of the channel are used in the NATCON code that was used in the thermal-hydraulics calculations.

The table starts from the square cross section (aspect ratio = 1.0) and goes to the infinite value of the aspect ratio (parallel plates). In order to find the parameter C for the aspect ratio of the PUR-1 reactor, the NATCON code simply interpolates between the tabulated values.The original author of the code obtained these values from an old Reference

[E. R. G. Eckert and T. F. Irvine, Heat Transfer Laboratory, University of Minnesota (1957)] but these values are also given in a textbook by Frank Incropera

[Ref. 3]. These values are obtained from the closed-form analytical solution for the fully developed laminar velocity distribution in a rectangular channel summarized by R. K. Shah and A. L. London [Ref. 2]. Equation (341) in [Ref. 2] is a fitted equation to easily find the parameter C. It should be noted that the aspect ratio used in[Ref. 2] is channel thickness-to-width ratio (the reciprocal of that used in NATOON and shown below in Table A2-2), and the friction factor in [Ref. 2] should be multiplied by 4 to get the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor that is used in NATCON and tabulated below.Table A2-2.

From the information in Appendix 1 in both the calculation of the channel flow and the calculation of the bulk coolant temperature rise the ratio of the coolant kinematic viscosity to density (pip) was assumed to be insensitive to temperature.

Please demonstrate the validity of this assumption.

Response: The information in Appendix 1 was used only to obtain hot channel factors for input to a more detailed thermal-hydraulic calculation using the NATCON code [Ref. 8 of the conversion proposal].

NATCON does account for the temperature dependence of coolant viscosity and density in the calculation of the channel flow and the calculation of the bulk coolant temperature rise. Therefore, Appendix 1 is a simplified modeling of what is calculated in detail in NATCON, for the purpose of obtaining closed-form equations from which hot channel factors could be found.As suggested in the question, water viscosity is temperature-dependent, i.e., it decreases with rising temperature.

Appendix 1 was revised to account for the effect of temperature dependence of viscosity on hot channel factors, and the revised Appendix 1 is enclosed herewith.

The temperature dependence of the dynamic viscosity of water over the temperature range 27 00 <T < 50 00 (adequate for the PUR-1 reactor) can be written as follows./()= /z(T 0) (1+T-T 0)-0 (Al)where a=0.12 To= 27 00 = Pool temperature of PUR-1 ,u ( To) = 0.875x10 -3 N-s/rn 2 ,p (T) = Temperature-dependent dynamic viscosity of water, N-s/in 2 As shown in the revised Appendix 1, the revised relationship between the flow rate W in a channel and the friction parameter C is given by Eq. (A2). The revised formula for hot channel factor FBULK for bulk coolant temperature rise is given by Eq. (A3).(A2 PUR-1 SAR Appendix 2-14 PuR- SARAppedix

-14Rev 2, July 23, 2015 FRUlLu )=+, (l+u 9)2+- lJ l -1} u (A3)The exponent on the right hand side of Eq. (A2) changed from 0.5 (in the conversion proposal ignoring temperature dependence of p) to the revised value 1/2.12 = 0.4717. There exponents in Eq. (A3) for EBULK also changed, e.g., from 3/2 to 3/2.12 =1.415. As a result of this revision, the hot channel factor FBULK decreased from 1.312 (in the conversion proposal) to 1.301 for the most limiting fuel plate 262 in the HEU core. Similarly, FBULK decreased from 1.321 (in the conversion proposal) to 1.308 for the most limiting fuel plate 1348 in the LEU core. The effect of ignoring the temperature dependence of viscosity is conservative.

NATCON calculations were done with these revised values of EBULK along with a value of FW> 1.0 to account for the increased friction due to developing laminar flow (in response to Question number 33). The results are shown in Table Q27-1 (column C for the HEU core, and column G for the LEU core).As a consequence of the two effects (i.e., increased friction due to developing laminar flow and the temperature dependence of viscosity) on hot channel factors FW and EBULK, the ONB power of the HEU core changes from 76.3 kW (reported in the conversion proposal) to 75.9 kW, and the ONB power of the LEU core changes from 96.1 kW (reported in the conversion proposal) to 95.8 kW. The effect is small for the PUR-1 reactor.Question 32 32. Appendix 1. Equation (30) has two terms and the conversion proposal states that the expression within the parenthesis on the right hand side of the equation varies slowly compared to the heat flux tfuel q'"/2. Demonstrate the validity of the statement with reference to the PUR-1 fuel plate.Response: Equation (30) of Appendix 1 is for finding a hot channel factor for the temperature drop from the meat mid-plane to cladding surface (ATmetai).

This temperature drop is very small compared to the temperature drop from the cladding surface to bulk coolant (ATflrn).

For example, in the PUR-1 HEU fuel plate 262 without hot channel factors, Ammetai iS 0.07 °C and ATfi~m is 46.98 °C (at meat mid-height) at a high power of 100 kW. Similarly, in the PUR-1 LEU fuel plate 1348 without hot channel factors, Ammetai is 0.05 °C and ATfi m is 34.5 °C at a power of 100 kW.Therefore, the hot channel factor for Ammetai iS not important for PUR-1. The important hot channel factor is the factor FFILM for ATf, m. In the case of PUR-1, ATtim is the bigger component (bigger than the bulk coolant temperature rise) in the total temperature rise from the inlet temperature to the cladding surface temperature at the axial level experiencing the onset of nucleate boiling. The hot channel factor FFILM found by Eq. (29) of Appendix 1 in the conversion proposal remains unchanged.

It depends on the uncertainties in q'"tfuel and channel thickness (as shown in Eq. 28), but not on the uncertainty in [tfuel/(4 KfueI) + tcdad/Kclad].

In short, PUR-1 is not limited by the fuel peak temperature, but by the onset of nucleate boiling, and the uncertainty in [tfuel/(4 KfueI) + tclad/Kclad]

is not important for PUR-1. We believe that the hot channel factor FFILM has been determined accurately.

PUR-1 SAR Appendix 2-15 PUR- SARAppedix

-15Rev 2, July 23, 2015 Question 33 33. Section 4.7.2. According to Appendix 1 the systematic uncertainty in flow rate is accounted for by applying the hot channel factor Fw to the laminar friction factor C. Explain the reason for the value of the flow friction factor Fw being unity in Tables 4-25 and 4-26.Response: As suggested in the question, a value of FW (hot channel factor for flow) greater than 1.0 should be used to account for the increased frictional pressure drop due to the hydrodynamically developing laminar flow in the entrance region of the coolant channel, otherwise the code (NATCON) accounts only for the fully developed frictional pressure drop. This has been done now and the results are presented in Table Q27-1. Since each coolant channel creates its own buoyancy to drive its own coolant flow, there is no uncertainty due to redistribution of a total reactor flow rate. The loss coefficients of 0.5 and 1.0 at channel inlet and outlet are used in the calculations.

To account for the reduction in flow rate due to the hydrodynamically developing laminar flow in the channel, the values of FW were calculated for the most limiting channels in the HEU and LEU cores as follows.NATOON calculates the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor f = C/Re using a built-in table of the parameter C for different aspect ratios of the rectangular channel cross section (values of parameter C are given in the answer to Question number 29). These values of parameter C are for the fully developed laminar flow in a rectangular cross-section channel. An apparent value of the parameter C averaged over the channel length, called Capp, was calculated using Eq. (576)of Shah and London [Ref. 2] to account for the increased pressure drop due to hydrodynamically developing laminar flow in the channel. The ratio Capp/C was found to be 1.1105 for the 207 rail HEU channel, and 1.0985 for the 197 mil LEU channel. Since the NATCON code multiplies the fully developed frictional factor by FW 2 , the input FW equals 1.054 and 1.048 for the HEU and LEU channels respectively.

The flow reduction factor is input factor FW or more accurately FW 2/(2+a) FW°'9 4 3 4 (noting that a = 0.12 for the PUR-1 reactor as mentioned in the revised Appendix 1 enclosed herewith).

The results of using these values of FW in NATCON calculations (excluding the effect of temperature dependence of p on hot channel factors) are shown in Table Q27-1. The ONB power of the HEU core changes to 75.8 kW from 76.3 kW reported in the conversion proposal.The ONB power of the LEU core changes to 95.7 kW from 96.1 kW reported in the conversion proposal.The channel flow indeed gets reduced by the factor FW 0" 9 4 3 4 as expected.

For the HEU plate 262, the flow reduces from 0.02083 kg/s to 0.01 989 kg/s (see Table Q27-1) when the input hot channel factor FW is changed from 1.0 to 1.054. The expected reduced flow should be 0.02083/(1.054)0"9434

= 0.01982 kg/s which is close to the NATCON-calculated value of 0.01 989 kg/s. For the LEU plate 1348, the flow reduces from 0.01 912 kg/s to 0.01834 kg/s (see Table Q27-1) when the input FW is changed from 1.0 to 1.048. The expected reduced flow should be 0.01 912/(1 .048)0.9434

= 0.01 829 kg/s which is close to the NATCON-calculated value of 0.01834 kg/s.Question 36 36. Table 4-28. Define the parameter "margin to incipient boiling." PUR-1 SAR Appendix 2-16 PuR- SARAppedix

-16Rev 2, July 23, 2015 Response: The margin to incipient boiling shown in Table 4-28 was calculated at the nominal operating power of PUR-1 (i.e., 1 kW), and it is the smallest value of the temperature difference (ToNg -Tw) over the coolant channel length in the hottest channel where Tw is cladding surface temperature with all hot channel factors applied, and TONB is the local onset-of-nucleate-boiling temperature.

This basically gives an idea of how far below the onset of nucleate boiling condition the reactor is operating.

This definition can be written as an equation as follows: where T(z) = Bulk coolant temperature at axial position z in the channel heated by the plate power of PopFr EQ/N and applying the global hot channel factors for flow and Nusselt number of Fw and Fh Twani(Z) = Cladding surface temperature at axial position z in the channel heated by a plate power of Pop~r EQ/N and applying the global hot channel factors for flow and Nusselt number of Fw and Fh q"(z) = Heat flux at position z for the plate power of Pop~r EQ/N and applying the global hot channel factors for flow and Nusselt number of Fw and Fh p(z) = Absolute pressure in the channel at axial position z T~nop(p(z), q"(z)Fnux)

= Onset of nucleate boiling temperature at absolute pressure p(z) and heat flux q"(z)Fflux Pop = Operating power of the reactor (e.g., 1 kW for PUR-1)N = Number of fuel plates in the core (e.g., 190 for PUR-1 LEU core)To = Coolant temperature at the channel inlet Fr = RPEAK = Radial power factor of the plate cooled by the channel Fw = Hot channel factor for flow in the channel EQ = Hot channel factor for reactor power Fh =Hot channel factor for Nusselt number Fflrn = FFILM = Hot channel factor for temperature drop across the coolant film on cladding surface EFlux -FFLUX = Hot channel factor for heat flux FbuIk = FBULK = Hot channel factor for bulk coolant temperature rise in the channel PUR-1 SAR Appendix 2-17 PUR- SARAppedix

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Production

Qualification The supplier is required to qualify the processes or portions of the process or be exempt from same by written approval of the purchaser.

In qualifcation (see def.), only materials that comply with this specification shall be used.Qualification processes, equipment, and operator qualificationltraining programs shall be identical to those used during production (see def.). To qualify, the supplier must demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the purchaser, that the process is capable of producing a product, which satisfies all the requirements of the specifications.

Assembly of production fuel elements shall not be initiated until: (1) all required data, to assure compliance with the qualification requirements, has been submitted to the purchaser; (2) data and records required by Section 6.3 have been submitted; and (3) written approval of qualification has been received by the supplier from the purchaser.

3.1.1 Fuel Plate Qualification:

Fuel plate (see def.) qualification shall be satisfied by supplier production of a minimum of two consecutively produced plate lots (see def.), in lot quantities of 24 plates (see def.). The plates shall be made using low enriched uranium in the form of Silicide (see def.) powder, which have a yield of no less than 65% acceptable fuel plates meeting all applicable requirements of this specification.

The supplier may combine the results of two consecutive lots into a production run in determining the 65% yield requirement provided that there have been no changes in the manufacturing (see def.) procedure (see def.) between lots which would require requalifcation (see def.) in accordance with Section 3.1.3.PUR-1 SAR PUR-1 SAR ~~~Appendix 3-14 2 uy2,21 2.

(prior to and including qualification runs that fail to meet the 65% yield requirements) will not be used in fabricating production fuel elements without prior approval of the purchaser.

3.1.2 Fuel Element Qualification:

The supplier shall fabricate 1 dummy standard fuel element assembly (see def.), which shall meet the requirements of this specification.

3.1.3 Requalification

The supplier shall notify the purchaser of any proposed process change.A changed process may not be used in production until the supplier has met all the requirements of Section 3.1.3, submits the results and data of the requalification effort, and receives written approval from the purchaser.

Requalification for any fuel plate attribute to the requirements of the specification will be required when the processes, materials, fuel loadings, equipment or equipment operators (welding and rolling) which have been previously qualified are changed, unless the supplier can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the purchaser by engineering explanation or proof test that such changes will have no detrimental effect on the product.Requalification for compacting, pack (see def.) assembly, and rolling mill operators can be less than qualification basis, since the procedure has already been established.

Candidate operators who are not qualified for compacting operations, pack assembly operations, and hot/cold rolling mill operations must demonstrate their abilities in performing the individual operations they are assigned.An operator must qualify by processing two lots of fuel plates with minimum lot size of 24, for the operation he is assigned to qualify, before performing any production operation independently.

Each lot of fuel plates shall be processed through final inspection, with a minimum yield rate of 90% acceptable fuel plates required for the operator to be termed qualified.

Fuel plate density variations shall be determined by comparison of fuel plate areas to corresponding areas of the standard.All fuel plates shall be inspected for homogeneity.

Homogeneity of the fuel plate core shall be determined by radiograph film density measurements with a densitometer having a 0.080 inch aperture.When determining fuel core density from plate radiographs, the brighter the image on the radiograph, the more dense is the uranium and the lower the number indicated on the densitometer.

The darker the image on the radiograph, the less dense is the uranium and the larger the number indicated on the densitometer.

A+30% fuel core density and a +20% fuel core density is indicated by the densitometer readings in the suspect area being 30% or 20% lower than the average densitometer readings for all core locations.

A -30% or a -20% fuel core density is indicated by the densitometer readings in the suspect area being 30% or 20% higher than the average densitometer readings for all fuel core locations.

Any one-half inch diameter or greater spot in the plate fuel core area, other than the dogbone area shall not be less in fuel density than -20% of the average fuel density for all fuel core locations.

To determine the low density of a one-half inch diameter area, the film is maneuvered under the densitometer in the low-density area until the highest number possible is obtained on the densitometer.

This number is recorded.

Then four readings are taken one-fourth inch from this spot and symmetrical around it. The average of these five readings is compared to the average densitometer readings for all fuel core locations.

If density standards are used, the average densitometer readings of all fuel core locations will be replaced by the nominal density standard and comparisons will be determined between the suspect spot on the radiograph and the -30% and-20% standards.

For the +30% and +20% homogeneity overload inspection, compare the nominal density standard to the suspect area. In this case densitometer units from nominal of the fuel plate represent the following percentages:

-0.15 = +30%; -0.10 = +20%. Fuel plates exceeding these limits are discrepant.

For rectangular shaped, suspected discrepant areas that are evaluated to the one-half inch criteria, orient the four symmetrical readings such that worst case readings will be taken.Between the minimum and maximum permissible fuel core length boundary, fuel underload condition shall not be evaluated.

Any indication of un-alloyed uranium as determined by radiography shall be cause for rejection.

All fuel plates will be subjected to ultrasonic mmn-clad inspection with the fuel core region scanned for each plate. Ultrasonic mmn-clad inspection shall be accomplished by calibration of the mmn-clad gage, using the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Standard (8E0777) scanned at the normal mode of 0.008 inches.The mmn-clad gage will then be adjusted and the fuel plates will be scanned at a depth of 0.010 inches. Ultrasonic Test (UT) traces showing fuel at the 0.010 inch depth will be compared to the 0.008 inch standard to determine plate acceptability.

If the density of indications from fuel plate exceeds the ATR standard density of indications, the plate is rejectable.

NOTE: The ATR standard is a small piece of an A TR fuel plate that has fuel particles near the surface. It is used on the UT mmn-clad machine to indicate mmi-clad indications and compare the density of these indications to any indications noted from a fuel plate being inspected by UT.During the fuel plate qualification process, compliance with the requirements of Section 3.3.1.4 shall be established by destructive analysis of one fuel plate per lot in accordance with Figure 1.After fuel plate qualification, all production plates shall be mmi-clad ultrasonic inspected at a depth of 0.010 inches.
