. QUESTICS Demonjtrate that the final spacer grid design has a negligible effect on MDNBRs g

predicted by the Waterford 3 FSAR Thermal Margin model.

RESPONSE

Comparative Simplified TORC (S-TORC) analytes 6.ure performed utilizing both the i

FSAR and Design models.

The FSAR-S-TORC codel' contains one Inconel spacer grid and 10 standard grids with loss coefficients of [

], while the Design nodel

' has one Inconel and 9 HID-1 spacer grids with Reynolds number dependent loss coefficients. At nominal conditions, these Reynolds number dependent relationships yield loss coefficients of:

K (Inconel grid) =

K (HID-1 grid) 3

=

The FSAR S-TORC model was used to iterate on power to a minimum DNBR (MDNBR) of 1.190.

This heat flux was then inserted into the comparable design S-TORC-model to calculate a MDNBR. As can be seen frem Table 1 the new spacer grid design with revised loss coefficients has a negligible effect on MDNBR.

{

Subsequent questions arose at NRC concerning the local coolant conditions at

- the location.af. M3NBR for the six casas in Table i and, in particular, tha slight.non-conservatism of the Design TORC Model in Case C.

The local coolant conditions at the location of MDNBR are presented in Table 2 for each of the cases listed in Table 1.

Plots of local DNBR, Coolant' Quality and flass Velocity vs. Axial Elevation are presented in Figures 1 through 4 for Case C.
