Thisreportisasupplement tothecycle5SafetyAnalysisReportforD.C.CookUnit2.Themainreportaddressed theoperating historyofthereference cycle,powerdistribution considerations, controlrodreactivity requirements, temperature coefficient considerations, andthecontrolrodejectionaccidentanalysis.

ThisreportpresentsresultsofECCSLOCA,thermalmargin,rodbow,andradiological assessment analyses.

TheECCSLOCAandplanttransient analyseswereperformed tosupportoperation oftheD.C.CookUnit2reactorwith5Xofthesteamgenerator tubesplugged.Therodbowanalysiswasperformed becauserodbowresultsaredependent ontheplanttransient predictions for5Itubeplugging.

Theradiological assessment wasredoneusingENC'scurrentradiological assessment methodology, whichnowin-cludesthegenerically approvedversionofRODEX2.

Forthecycle4design,thefuelburnupandplantpowerwereincreased.

Therefore anassessment wasmadeofthepotential radiological consequences ofthepostulated accidents(4).

Thereviewhasnowbeencompleted, andtheanalysisredoneusi'ngtheapprovedversion.Theresultsofreanalyses(5) showthatthepreviousassessment providesboundingpredictions.

Arodbowevaluation, requiredforassemblyburnupsgreaterthan28,000MWD/MTU,wasdoneusingthegenerically approvedExxonNuclearmethodology.

Theresultsindicated thattherewasmarginbetweentheDNBRlimitandtheminimumDNBRevenwiththecalculated penaltyforrodbow.Also,thecalculations showedthatthetotalpeakinguncertainty was XN-NF-83-85 Supplement 1withindesigntolerances.

Therefore, thereisnoimpactonthedesignfromrodbow.

Therefore thecycle4SafetyEvaluation Report(SER)requiredthattheeffectsofrodbowbeassessedforExxonNuc1eardesignedfue1withassemblyexposures XN-NF-83-85 Supplement 1greaterthan28,000MWO/MTU.SincethatSER,theExxonNuclearmethodology wasgenerically approvedbytheStaff.Usingthismethodology, theeffectofrodbowontheMDNBRforthelimitingtransient hasbeenreevaluated.

TosatisfythislimitatapeakO.C.CookUnit2'assembly exposureof43,000MWO/MTU,theMDNBRfromthelimitingAOOmustbegreaterthan1.35.Theplanttransient analysesfortheD.C.CookUnit2with5Xofthesteamgenerator tubespluggedshowedthatthelimitingtransient (slowcontrolrodwithdrawal) hadanMONBRabove1.35.There-fore,nooperational penaltyisrequiredtoaccountforrodbow.USimilarly, thechangesinthetotalpeakinguncertainty (Fq)andthetotalpeaking(Fq)arewithinthedesigntolerances.

XN-NF-83-85 Supplement 17.0ASSESSMENT OFRADIOLOGICAL CONSEUENCESOFACCIDENTS Ananalysisofthebiological dosesreceivedfromradiological releaseduringaccidents involving highexposurefuelwasdocumented inReference 4andsubmitted forcycle4operation ofD.C.CookUnit2.Thatreportdemonstrated thattheExxonNuclearfuelwouldnotviolatethe104CFR100off-siteradiation doselimitsafteroperating thereactorwithincreased corepowerandirradiating thefueltoabatchaverageexposureof40,000MWD/MTU.Theisotopicreleasefractions fromthefuelwerecalculated withthethen-current versionoftheRODEX2fuelperformance code.Subsequent tothatanalysis, arevisedversionofRODEX2receivedfinalgenericapprovalfromtheNRC.Therefore, thepotential doseswerereanalyzed usingtheapprovedRODEX2tocalculate thereleasefrac-tions(5).

Theresultsofthatreanalysis showedthepreviousassessment tobebounding,i.e.,

thepreviousassessment predicted largerpotential doses.
