1) Letter from James Barstow (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "1 O CFR 50.46 Annual Report," dated May 6, 2016 The purpose of this letter is to submit the 1 O CFR 50.46 reporting information for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMI), Unit 1. The most recent annual 50.46 Report for TMI, Unit 1 (Reference 1 ), provided the cumulative Peak Cladding Temperature (PCT) errors for the most recent fuel designs. Since the Reference 1 report was issued, no vendor notifications of Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) model error/changes applicable to TMI, Unit 1, have been issued. No other EGGS-related changes or modifications have occurred at TMI, Unit 1 that affect the assumptions of the ECCS system. Two attachments are included with this letter that provide the current TMI, Unit 1, 1 o CFR 50.46 status. Attachment 1 ("Peak Cladding Temperature Rack-Up Sheets") provides updated information regarding the PCT for the limiting SBLOCA and LBLOCA analyses. Attachment 2 ("Assessment Notes") contains a detailed description for each change or error reported. | |||

ATTACHMENT2 10 CFR 50.46 Acceptance Criteria for Emergency Core Cooling Systems for Light-Water Nuclear Power Reactors Report of the Emergency Core Cooling System Evaluation Model Changes and Errors Assessments Assessments as of May 5, 2017 Peak Cladding Temperature Rack-Up Sheets TMI, Unit 1 Assessment Notes Report of the Emergency Core Cooling System Evaluation Model Changes and Errors Assessments as of May 5, 2017 Assessment Notes 1 . Prior LOCA Model Assessment Attachment 2 Page 1 of 3 The 1 O CFR 50.46 report dated May 16, 2007 reported an evaluation for a LOCA model change which resulted in a O °F PCT change. The reported evaluation considered the effect on the containment pressure response for LOCA due to GSl-191 related reactor building sump screen replacement. The evaluation resulted in O °F impact for LBLOCA and SBLOCA PCTs. 2. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 1 O CFR 50.46 report dated May 15, 2008 reported an evaluation for LOCA model change which resulted in a O °F PCT change. Reported change included the impact of an energy deposition factor error which resulted in a LBLOCA PCT impact of O °F. 3. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 1 O CFR 50.46 report dated May 15, 2009 reported no evaluations or PCT penalties for either SBLOCA or LBLOCA. 4. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 1 O CFR 50.46 report dated May 14, 2010 reported a change to the reference PCT value for LBLOCA due to the final discharge of all Mark-89 fuel. Also identified in this report was a new SBLOCA analysis, implemented beginning with the Cycle 18 operation. This SBLOCA analysis was evaluated with the mixed core of Mark-812 and Mark HTP and a new PCT of 1444°F was calculated for the limiting Mark HTP fuel type, which bounds the Mark-812 fuel type. This analysis also includes consideration of the effect of reduced EDW wetting associated with the Enhanced Once-Through Steam Generators (EOTSGs). 5. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated September 7, 2010 reported an evaluation for the SBLOCA analysis due to a non-bounding axial power shape from middle-of-cycle to end-of-cycle conditions. This resulted in a PCT increase of 225°F. The large break LOCA is not affected in this report. 6. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated May 13, 2011 reported no evaluations or PCT penalties for either SBLOCA or LBLOCA. 7. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated March 21, 2012 reported two changes to the TMI LOCA model. One consisted of an error in the ECCS Bypass Calculation that affected the LBLOCA analysis. The second change consisted of correcting the Upper Plenum Column Weldment Model which affected both the SBLOCA and LBLOCA analysis. The results of both of these changes were a 0°F PCT impact for both SBLOCA and LBLOCA. | |||
Report of the Emergency Core Cooling System Evaluation Model Changes and Errors Assessments as of May 5, 2017 Assessment Notes 8. Prior LOCA Model Assessment Attachment 2 Page 2 of 3 With the Cycle 19 reload, all Mark-812 fuel types were discharged from the core. Currently, the limiting fuel type is Mark HTP for both SBLOCA and LBLOCA. The limiting PCT for LBLOCA has been updated to 1890°F in accordance with our referenced calculation (86-9111507-000). All previous PCT assessments that are not applicable to Mark-B-HTP fuel have been removed. The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated May 11, 2012 reported no evaluations or PCT penalties for either SBLOCA or LBLOCA. 9. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 1 O CFR 50.46 report dated May 10, 2013 reported no evaluations or PCT penalties for either SBLOCA or LBLOCA. 10. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated May 9, 2014 reported no evaluations or PCT penalties for either SBLOCA or LBLOCA. 11. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 30-day 1 O CFR 50.46 report dated December 22, 2014 reported a significant error due to thermal conductivity degradation {TCD) based on insufficient LOCA fuel temperature inputs in TAC0-3/GDTACO computer codes. Correction of the TCD modeling in TAC0-3/GDTACO results in a conservative increase of 393F in peak cladding temperature (PCT) for LBLOCA. The SBLOCA analyses are not sensitive to initial fuel temperature and therefore have an estimated PCT impact of 0°F. Additionally, TMI has implemented a 2 kw/ft penalty to LHR limits in Cycle 20 (10/20/14). The penalty has been applied through more restrictive operational imbalance limits and results in a reduction of PCT by 375°F for LBLOCA. The overall cumulative impact for the error and the design input change is 0°F for SBLOCA and 18°F for LBLOCA. 12. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 1 O CFR 50.46 report dated May 8, 2015 reported no evaluations or PCT penalties for either SBLOCA or LBLOCA. | |||

Prior LOCA Model Assessment Attachment 2 Page 3 of 3 The 1 o CFR 50.46 report dated May 6, 2016 reported the reactor coolant system (RCS) flow rate used in the TMI Unit 1 SBLOCA analysis (106.5% of design flow) is inconsistent with the RCS flow rate used in the departure-from-nucleate (DNB) analysis (104.5% of design flow). Additionally, a lower RCS flow rate was used in the LBLOCA analysis (102% of design flow) than that in the at-power minimum DNB analysis (104.5% of design flow). LOCA analyses are performed using the AREVA LOCA evaluation model (EM) BAW-10192P-A, which is the applicable LOCA EM for TMI Unit 1, and are required to use the RCS flow rate that is used in the at-power minimum DNB analysis. The SBLOCA and LBLOCA RCS flow rate inconsistency assessments were estimated to be a O °F PCT impact. 14. Current LOCA Model Assessment No model changes or errors were identified for this annual report. | |||
