Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 D. C. COOK UNIT 2 SMALL BREAK LOCA ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
REPORT 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to document the small break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA) analysis performed for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 2 (D. C. Cook Unit 2) at a core power level of 3600 MWt (3612 MWt, including 0.34% uncertainty) with the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) cross-tie valves configurations as follows: 1) During the injection phase of the transient, both High Head Safety Injection (HHSI) and Residual Heat Removal (RHR) cross-tie valves are assumed to be open and
- 2) During the recirculation phase, the HHSI cross-tie valves are assumed to be open and the RHR cross-tie valves are assumed to be closed to isolate the trains. (It is noteworthy that HHSI refers to the fluid system designated as the Safety Injection (SI) system in the D. C. Cook Unit 2 Technical Specifications and Bases, and in previous model change and error reports submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.46.) The purpose of analyzing the SBLOCA is to demonstrate compliance with the 10 CFR 50.46 requirements (Reference 1). Important input assumptions, as well as analytical models and methodology for the SBLOCA analysis are contained in subsequent sections. Results are provided in the form of tables and figures, as well as more detailed descriptions of the limiting transient. The analysis has shown that no design or regulatory limit related to the SBLOCA transient would be exceeded due to plant operation with the ECCS cross-ties configurations, power level and the associated plant parameters outlined in this report.
2 INPUT PARAMETERS AND ASSUMPTIONS The important plant conditions and features for D. C. Cook Unit 2 that are supported by this analysis are listed in Table 1. Additional considerations for several parameters identified in Table 1 are discussed below.
Figure 1 depicts the hot rod axial power shape modeled in the SBLOCA analysis. This shape was chosen because it represents a distribution with power concentrated in the upper regions of the core (the axial offset is +13%). Such a distribution is limiting for SBLOCA since it minimizes coolant swell while maximizing vapor superheating and fuel rod heat generation at the uncovered elevations. The chosen power shape has been conservatively scaled to a standard 2-line segment K(Z) envelope based on the peaking factors shown in Table 1.
Figures 2 through 5 provide the ECCS flows modeled in the SBLOCA analysis. Tables 2 through 5 provide the flows used to generate Figures 2 through 5, respectively. Figures 2 and 3 show the ECCS pumped injection flow versus pressure curves utilized during the injection phase. Figures 4 and 5 show the ECCS pumped injection flow versus pressure curves utilized during the cold leg recirculation phase (with HHSI available and RHR isolated, assuming active RHR spray). Note that the 1.5-, 3- and 4-inch break cases modeled more conservative ECCS pumped injection flows during cold leg recirculation than the available flow documented herein. Figures 2 and 4 show the flows from one charging (CHG) pump, one HHSI pump and one RHR pump, where the broken (or faulted) loop flow spills to reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure. Figures 3 and 5 show flows from one CHG pump, one HHSI pump and one RHR pump for the scenario where the break is postulated along the accumulator line. In this scenario, the 2
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 faulted loop CHG flow spills to RCS pressure and the faulted loop HHSI/RHR flow spills to 0 psig containment pressure. Note that hereafter, pumped injection subsystems of the ECCS (CHG, HHSI and RHR) are referred to collectively as safety injection (SI).
The analysis utilized an adjusted nominal vessel average temperature (Tavg) of 578.2 0 F (with +/- 40F uncertainty specified by NOTRUMP-EM) to support the D. C. Cook Unit 2 specific Tavg value of 578.17F with +4.1 °F uncertainty. The analysis supports operation for a nominal full-power Tvg range of 547.6°F to 578.1 0F with +4.1°F/-5.6°F uncertainty. Additionally, the analysis utilizes a nominal pressurizer pressure of 2250 psia (plus +62.6 psi uncertainty) and supports operation at nominal pressurizer pressures of 2 100 psia and 2250 psia with +/-62.6 psi uncertainty.
3 DESCRIPTION OF ANALYSIS 3.1 ANALYTICAL MODEL The requirements for an acceptable ECCS evaluation model are presented in Appendix K of 10 CFR 50 (Reference 1). For LOCAs due to Small Breaks, less than I square foot in area, the Westinghouse NOTRUMP SBLOCA ECCS Evaluation Model (References 2 and 3) with the improved condensation model (COSI) (Reference 4) is used. The Westinghouse NOTRUMP SBLOCA ECCS Evaluation Model (NOTRUMP-EM) was developed to determine the RCS response to design basis SBLOCAs, and to address Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) concerns expressed in NUREG-0611 (Reference 5).
The NOTRUMP-EM consists of the NOTRUMP and LOCTA-IV computer codes. The NOTRUMP code is employed to calculate the transient depressurization of the RCS, as well as to describe the mass and energy release of the fluid flow through the break. Among the features of the NOTRUMP code are:
calculation of thermal non-equilibrium in all fluid volumes, flow regime-dependent drift flux calculations with counter-current flooding limitations, mixture level tracking logic in multiple-stacked fluid nodes, regime-dependent drift flux calculations in multiple-stacked fluid nodes and regime-dependent heat transfer correlations. These features provide NOTRUMP with the capability to accurately calculate the mass and energy distribution throughout the RCS during the course of a SBLOCA.
The RCS model is nodalized into volumes interconnected by flow paths. The broken loop and each of the three intact loops are modeled explicitly, primarily to model the asymmetric SI flows that result from closure of one or both valves in the HHSI cross-tie. Transient behavior of the system is determined from the governing conservation equations of mass, energy, and momentum. The multi-node capability of the program enables explicit, detailed spatial representation of various system components which, among other capabilities, enables a calculation of the behavior of the loop seal during a SBLOCA. The reactor core is represented as heated control volumes with associated phase separation models to permit transient mixture height calculations.
Fuel cladding thermal analyses are performed with the SBLOCA version of the LOCTA-IV code (Reference 3), using the NOTRUMP calculated core pressure, fuel rod power history, uncovered core steam flow, core inlet enthalpy and mixture heights as boundary conditions. The small break version of the LOCTA-IV code models the hot rod and the average hot assembly rod, assuming a conservative power distribution that is skewed to the top of the core. Figure 6 illustrates the code interface for the Small Break Model.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 3.2 ANALYSIS The SBLOCA analysis for D. C. Cook Unit 2 considered a spectrum of cold leg breaks, including 1.5-, 2-,
3-, 4-, 6- and 8.75-inch breaks. The results of the generic study documented in Reference 6 demonstrate that the cold leg break location is limiting with respect to postulated cold leg, hot leg and pump suction leg break locations. Results of the analysis are discussed in Section 5.
The most limiting single active failure used for a SBLOCA is that of an emergency power train failure which results in the loss of one complete train of ECCS components. In addition, a Loss-of-Offsite Power (LOOP) is postulated to occur coincident with reactor trip. This means that with the assumed loss of emergency power there is a loss of one CHG pump, one HHSI pump and one RHR pump. The SBLOCA analysis performed for D. C. Cook Unit 2 model the ECCS injection phase and cold leg recirculation phase flows as being delivered to both the intact and faulted loops at the RCS backpressure for breaks smaller than the accumulator line inner diameter (1.5-inch through 6-inch breaks) and at containment pressure for breaks equal to or greater than the accumulator line inner diameter (8.75-inch break). Note that for the 8.75-inch break, the CHG flow is assumed to inject into the broken loop cold leg at the RCS backpressure since it is not affected by the accumulator line break (CHG injects via a separate connection to the cold leg). The flows for these scenarios are illustrated in Figures 2 through 5. The LOOP and the failure of an emergency diesel generator to start as the limiting single failure for SBLOCA is part of the NRC approved methodology. The single failure assumption is extremely limiting due to the fact that one train of SI, one motor driven auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump, and power to the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) are all modeled to be lost. Any other active single failure would not result in a more limiting scenario since increased SI flow would improve the overall transient results.
Prior to break initiation, the plant is modeled to be in a full power (100.34%) equilibrium condition (i.e., the heat generated in the core is being removed via the secondary system) for the nominal power level assumed. Other initial plant conditions used in the analysis are given in Table 1. Subsequent to the break opening, a period of reactor coolant system blowdown ensues in which the heat from fission product decay, the hot reactor internals, and the reactor vessel continues to be transferred to the RCS fluid. The heat transfer between the RCS and the secondary system may be in either direction and is a function of the relative temperatures of the primary and secondary conditions. In the case of continuous heat addition to the secondary side during a period of quasi-equilibrium, an increase in the secondary system pressure (due to the assumed turbine trip following the reactor trip discussed below) results in steam relief via the steam generator safety valves.
When a SBLOCA occurs, depressurization of the RCS causes fluid to flow into the loops from the pressurizer resulting in a pressure and level decrease in the pressurizer. The reactor trip signal subsequently occurs when the pressurizer low-pressure reactor trip setpoint, conservatively modeled as 1860 psia, is reached. LOOP is postulated to occur coincident with reactor trip. The SI signal is generated when the pressurizer low-pressure SI setpoint, conservatively modeled as 1715 psia, is reached.
SI flow is delayed 54 seconds after the occurrence of the low-pressure condition. This delay conservatively accounts for signal processing, diesel generator start up and emergency power bus loading consistent with the LOOP coincident with reactor trip, as well as the pump acceleration and valve delays.
4
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 The following countermeasures limit the consequences of the accident in two ways:
- 1. Reactor trip and borated water injection supplement void formation in causing a rapid reduction of nuclear power to a residual level corresponding to the delayed fission and fission product decay. No credit is taken in the SBLOCA analysis for the boron content of the injection water. In addition, credit is taken in the SBLOCA analysis for the insertion of Rod Cluster Control Assemblies (RCCAs) subsequent to the reactor trip signal such that the core is rendered sub-critical. A rod drop time of 2.7 seconds was used while also considering an additional 2 seconds for the signal processing delay time. Therefore, a total delay time of 4.7 seconds from the time of reactor trip signal to full rod insertion was used in the SBLOCA analysis.
- 2. Injection of borated water provides sufficient flooding of the core to prevent excessive cladding temperatures.
During the earlier part of the Small Break transient (prior to the postulated LOOP coincident with reactor trip), the loss of flow through the break is not sufficient to overcome the positive core flow maintained by the RCPs. During this period, upward flow through the core is maintained. However, following the RCP trip (due to a LOOP) and subsequent pump coastdown, a period of core uncovery occurs. Ultimately, the Small Break transient is terminated when the top of the core is recovered or the core mixing level is increasing, and ECCS flow provided to the RCS exceeds the break flow rate.
The core heat transfer mechanisms associated with the Small Break transient include the break itself, the injected ECCS water, and the heat transferred from the RCS to the steam generator secondary side. Main feedwater (MFW) is conservatively isolated in 8 seconds following the generation of the pressurizer low-pressure SI signal. Additional makeup water is also provided to the, secondary using the AFW system.
An AFW actuation signal is derived from the pressurizer low-pressure reactor trip signal and results in the delivery of AFW flow 80 seconds after reactor trip. The heat transferred to the secondary side of the steam generator aids in the reduction of the RCS pressure.
Should the RCS depressurize to approximately 600 psia (accumulator minimum pressure), the cold leg accumulators begin to inject borated water into the reactor coolant loops as reflected in Table 7.
4 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA The acceptance criteria for the LOCA are described in 10 CFR 50.46 (Reference 1) and are summarized as follows:
- 1. The calculated maximum fuel element. cladding temperature shall not exceed 22007F.
- 2. The calculated total oxidation of the cladding shall nowhere exceed 0.17 times the total cladding thickness before oxidation.
- 3. The calculated total amount of hydrogen generated from the chemical reaction of the cladding with water or steam shall not exceed 0.01 times the hypothetical amount that would be generated if all of the metal in the cladding cylinders surrounding the fuel, excluding the cladding surrounding the plenum volume, were to react.
5
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3
- 4. Calculated changes in core geometry shall be such that the core remains amenable to cooling.
- 5. After any calculated successful initial operation of the ECCS, the calculated core temperature shall be maintained at an acceptably low value and decay heat shall be removed for the extended period of time required by the long-lived radioactivity remaining in the core.
Criteria 1 through 3 are explicitly covered by the SBLOCA analysis.
For criterion 4, the appropriate core geometry was modeled in the SBLOCA analysis. The results based on this geometry satisfy the peak cladding temperature (PCT) criterion of 10 CFR 50.46 (Reference 1) and consequently, demonstrate that the core remains amenable to cooling.
For criterion 5, Long-Term Core Cooling (LTCC) considerations are not directly applicable to the SBLOCA transient analysis addressed herein, with the exception of predicting switchover from ECCS injection phase to ECCS recirculation phase and ensuring the SBLOCA transient remains terminated.
The acceptance criteria were established to provide a significant margin in ECCS performance following a LOCA.
5 RESULTS In order to determine the most limiting SBLOCA case(s) (as determined by the highest calculated PCT and the maximum local transient oxidation), six break cases were examined for D. C. Cook Unit 2. These cases were investigated to capture the most severe postulated SBLOCA event. The following discussion provides insight into the analyzed conditions.
The beginning of life (BOL) fuel rod heatuip results for D. C. Cook Unit 2 are shown in Table 6 and Table 7 provides the key transient event times.
5.1 LIMITING BREAK CASE The SBLOCA analysis for D. C. Cook Unit 2 showed that the 4-inch break is the limiting case for PCT and is the limiting case for maximum local transient oxidation along with the 3-inch break.
Peak Cladding Temperature The limiting PCT is 12747F for the 4-inch break at BOL. A summary of the transient response for the limiting PCT case is shown in Figures 7 through 17. These figures present the response of the following parameters:
- RCS Pressure
- Core Mixture Level 0 Core Exit Vapor Temperature 0 Broken and Intact Loops Secondary Pressures 6
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 a Break Vapor Flow Rate 0 Break Liquid Flow Rate 0 Broken and Intact Loops Accumulator Flow Rates
- Broken and Intact Loops Pumped Safety Injection Flow Rates 0 Clad Temperature at PCT Elevation
- Hot Spot Fluid Temperature at PCT Elevation 0 Rod Film Heat Transfer Coefficient at PCT Elevation Upon initiation of the limiting 4-inch break, there is an initial rapid depressurization of the RCS followed by a very brief period of slower depressurization at approximately 1150 psia; slightly above the main steam safety valve (MSSV) lift pressure (Figures 7 and 10). A reactor trip signal is generated at 11.02 seconds followed by a SI signal at 17.71 seconds. The rate of depressurization begins to increase once the loop seal clears in the faulted loop at approximately 310 seconds, creating a vapor vent path between the top of the core and the break in the cold leg. During this initial part of the transient, the break flow is entirely liquid, which along with the low SI flow rates associated with the high system pressure results in a net reduction in the primary system mass. The accumulator injection setpoint is reached at approximately 864 seconds (Figure 13). Core uncovery begins during the injection phase at approximately 602 seconds (Figure 8), leading to the start of cladding heatup (Figure 15). The peak top core vapor temperature (Figure 9) and the corresponding PCT (Figure 15) occur at approximately 972 seconds. The PCT occurs near the time when the core is most deeply uncovered and the top of the core is being cooled by steam. This time is characterized by the highest vapor superheating above the mixture level (refer to Figure 9).
A comparison of the flow provided by the SI system to each loop is shown in Figure 14. The cold leg break vapor and liquid mass flow rates are provided in Figures 11 and 12, respectively. Figures 16 and 17 provide additional information on the hot spot fluid temperature at the PCT elevation and hot rod surface heat transfer coefficient at the PCT elevation, respectively.
Maximum Local Oxidation The maximum local transient oxidation was calculated for the 3- and 4-inch breaks. The maximum local transient oxidation is 0.11% at BOL. The transient oxidation remains below 17% at all times in life, for all fuel resident in the core.
Core Wide Average Oxidation Table 6 indicates that the core wide average oxidation for all cases is less than 1%. Therefore, the calculated total amount of hydrogen generation is less than the 1% limit defined.by 10 CFR 50.46 (Reference 1).
5.2 NON-LIMITING BREAK CASES Summaries of the transient responses for the non-limiting break cases (1.5-, 2-, 3-, 6- and 8.75-inch) are 7
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 shown in Figures 18 through 29. The 1.5- and 8.75-inch breaks showed no core uncovery and the 6-inch case showed minimal core uncovery (as can be seen in Figure 27), therefore PCT information was not calculated for these three cases. The plots for each of the additional non-limiting break cases include:
- RCS Pressure
- Core Mixture Level
- Clad Temperature at PCT Elevation (For 2- and 3-inch cases only)
The fuel rod heatup results for each of the additional breaks considered are shown in Table 6 and are less than the limiting 4-inch break case (Note: the 3-inch break has equivalent transient oxidation as the 4-inch break as discussed previously).
5.3 ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS DETAILS 5.3.1 Switchover from ECCS Injection Phase to ECCS Recirculation Phase When the refueling water storage tank (RWST) volume of 280,000 gallons is delivered via SI and containment spray, NOTRUMP predicts switchover from ECCS injection phase to ECCS recirculation phase. At that time RHR flow is re-aligned to the sump and an interruption in RHR flow for up to 5 minutes may occur. For break cases that have a calculated RCS pressure at or below the RHR cut-in pressure, the 5 minute interruption in RHR flow is considered. The applicable transients were shown to satisfy the analysis termination conditions, as discussed in more detail below.
5.3.2 Transient Termination The 10 CFR 50.46 criteria (Reference 1) continue to be satisfied beyond the end of the calculated transient due to the presence of the following conditions:
- 1. The RCS pressure is gradually decreasing or reached equilibrium.
- 2. The net mass inventory is increasing or reached equilibrium.
- 3. The core mixture level is recovered, or recovering due to increasing mass inventory.
- 4. As the RCS inventory continues to gradually increase, the core mixture level will continue to increase and the fuel cladding temperatures will continue to decline indicating that the temperature excursion is terminated.
6 CONCLUSIONS The SBLOCA analysis for D. C. Cook Unit 2 considered a break spectrum of 1.5-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6- and 8.75-inch diameters. The analysis resulted in the limiting PCT of 1274°F for the 4-inch break and a maximum local transient oxidation of 0.11% calculated at BOL for the 3- and 4-inch breaks. The analysis is applicable to core power up to and including 3612 MWt (3600 MWt plus 0.34% uncertainty) with both the HHSI and RHR cross-tie valve(s) open during the injection phase and with HHSI cross-tie valves open and RHR cross-tie valves closed during the recirculation phase.
The analysis presented herein shows that the accumulator and SI subsystems of the ECCS, together with 8
Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 the heat removal capability of the steam generators, provide sufficient core heat removal capability to maintain the calculated PCT for SBLOCA below the required limit of 10 CFR 50.46 (Reference 1).
Furthermore, the analysis shows that the local cladding oxidation and core wide average oxidation, including consideration of pre-existing and post-LOCA oxidation, are less than the 10 CFR 50.46 (Reference 1) limits at all times in life for all fuel resident in the core. Note that the core wide average oxidation results illustrate that the total hydrogen generation is less than 1%.
Table 8 provides the summary of the results for the D. C. Cook Unit 2 SBLOCA analysis including PCT, maximum local transient oxidation and total hydrogen generation.

(1) SI is assumed to begin 54.0 seconds (SI delay time) after the S-Signal.
(2) Loop seal clearing is assumed to occur when the steam flow through the broken loop, loop seal is sustained above 1 lbm/s.
(3) For 8.75-inch break, accumulator injection begins for Loops 2-4 only; Loop 1 (broken loop) accumulator line is the location of the break and assumed to spill to containment.
(4) The latest point of sustained core uncovery/recovery is reported.
(5) The analysis assumes minimum usable RWST volume (280,000 gal) delivered via ECCS injection and containment spray before the low level RWST water level signal for switchover to cold leg recirculation is reached.
(6) The run was successfully terminated per the NOTRUMP transient termination criteria described in Section 5.3.2 of the report text.
