"The flow rate in each Boron Injection (BI) line should be adjusted to provide 117.5 gpm (nominal) flow into each loop. Under these conditions there is zero mini-flow and 80 gpm simulated RCP seal injection line flow. The actual flow in each BI line may deviate from the nominal so long as the difference between the highest and lowest flow is 10 gpm or less and the total flow to the four branch lines does not exceed 470 gpm. Minimum flow (total flow) required is 345.8 gpm to the three most conservative (lowest&low) branch lines.

SUMMARY

OF THE SAFETY EVALUATION FOR INCREASED SZ PUMP MINIFLOW

LOCA EVALUATION FOR D. C. COOK UNIT 2 WITH REDUCED HIGH HEAD SAFFTY INJECTION This evaluation assesses the impact of reduced high head safety injection on ECCS performance in response to a LOCA for the 0. C Cook Unit 2 plant. W Safeguards Systems performed an independent calcula-tion evaluating the impact to high head safety injection {HHSI) of incmasing HHSI pump miniflow from 30 gpm to 60 gpm. The calculation assumed a 60 gpm miniflow and that each pair of cold legs receives greater than 300 gpm during flow balance testing. The ECCS flowrates were then calculated using the vendor performance curve degraded by 5% of design head. The total delivered safety injection flowrates to the RCS for both 30 gpm and 60 gpm are shown in Table I. The reduction of t'otal 'afety injection is 5X in the range of 1200-600 psia important for'- this'valuation.

Lar e Break LOCA Im act HHSI pump flow provides an insignificant proportion of the total 6I flow during a large break accident where RCS pressure rapidly drops to near atmospheric. Accumulator and low head safety injection (RHR) flow are important for this postulated accident. For this reason, small changes in HHSI pump flow have a negligible effect on the large LOCA calculated peak clad temperature.

Small Break LOCA Im act The effect of HHSI 'reduction on small break LOCA is determined. via an analysis with the approved W small break LOCA evaluation model nerformed on the 0. C. Cook Unit 1 plant, which was analyzed at 3411 MWt core power.

The calculated PCT increase derived from this LOCA analysis is 86.1'F, calculated on the worst break size. The inclusion of this PCT increase effect to the base PCT of 1668'F (worst break size) for 0. C. Cook Unit 2 yields a value well below the 10CFR50.46 limit of 2200'F and is less limiting than the current worst large break PCT.

The sensit'ivi ty of PCT due to small HHSI flow reductions developed with D. C. Cook Unit is applicable and bounding for 0. C. Cook Unit 2 1

for the following reasons:

1. The two plants'ydraulic characteristics are nearly identical. The only significant difference is Unit 1 has 15x15 fuel and Unit 2 has 17x17 fuel. Hut more importantly the difference in fuel assembly f1ow areas between the two designs is less tha'n 0.3%.

2. The effect of reduced HHSI on the transient is hydrau-

. lic. Reduction in SI diminishes the effects of bofloff replenishing fn the core. Thus, small reduction in downcomer level and core mixture height will result.

This effect is well behaved and observed through .

small LOCA analyses performed for numerous plants studying Sl effects.

3. The effect of a reduction in core mixture height in-creases the length of core uncovered and thus the enthalpy rise of the steam. The steam enthalpy at the uncovered elevations determines clad temperature since the transient is quasi-steady state during the clad heatup period.

4. The small LOCA analysis for Unit 1 was performed at 3411 MMt, similar to the Cook Unit 2 power. There-fore, the additional enthalpy rise will be calculated correctly.

5. The heat linear generation rate For Unit 1 is greater than Unit 2 due to fewer fuel rods. Therefore, the effect on PCT of reduced HHSI will be maximized.

6. Other conservatisms in the analysis exist. For example, the small LOCA analysis for Unit 2 assumed an Fg of 2.32 while the plant is limited in operation to 2.04 by large break considerations.

This evaluation has assessed the impact of reduced HHSI on the performance of the ECCS at the D. C. Cook Unit 2 plant. The reduced HHSI has a maximum impact of 86.1'F on peak clad temperature for a small LOCA. The inclusion of this PCT increase to the base small LOCA PCT of 1668'F for D. C. Cook Unit 2 yields a value well below the 10CFR50.46 limit of 2200'F and is less limiting than the current worst large break PCT.
