Issue Date: 01/28/2018 Application Title: NuScale Topical Report Operating Company: NuScale Docket No. PROJ0769 Review Section: 15.06.05 - Loss of Coolant Accidents Resulting From Spectrum of Postulated Piping Breaks Within the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Application Section: Section 5 of LOCA TR QUESTIONS 15.06.05-11 Title 10, Part 50, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, Section 50.34, Contents of Applications; Technical Information (10 CFR 50.34), specifies the safety analysis reports must analyze the design and performance of structures, systems, and components, and their adequacy for the prevention of accidents and mitigation of the consequences of accidents. Regulatory Guide 1.203 describes a process that the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) considers acceptable for use in developing and assessing evaluation models (EMs) that may be used to analyze transient and accident behavior that is within the design basis of a nuclear power plant.
As stated in RG 1.203, an EM is the calculational framework for evaluating the behavior of the reactor system during a postulated transient or design-basis accident. As such, the EM may include one or more computer programs, special models, and all other information needed to apply the calculational framework to a specific event, as illustrated by the following examples:
(1) Procedures for treating the input and output information (particularly the code input arising from the plant geometry and the assumed plant state at transient initiation)
(2) Specification of those portions of the analysis not included in the computer programs for which alternative approaches are used (3) All other information needed to specify the calculational procedure The entirety of an EM ultimately determines whether the results are in compliance with applicable regulations. Therefore, the development, assessment, and review processes must consider the entire EM.
The applicant performed two types of tests to assess the new Helical Coil Steam Generator (HCSG) model added to NRELAP5: (1) NCI-0315-12869, Add Helical Coil Component (May 2015), documents the new HCOIL component added to NRELAP5 for calculating heat transfer to the secondary coolant inside the HCSG tubes and compares this new component to the SIET TF-1 tests, and (2) EC-T050-3638, Assessment of NRELAP5 using SIET Fluid Heated Facility (TF-2) data (November 2015) documents the comparison of the HCOIL component against heated tube bundle tests.
