Background

  • 4/15/2015 - PVAR 4644513 documents that APS failed to identify and evaluate Microtherm on the Reactor Vessel
  • 6/10/2015 - Initial Public Meeting with NRC

- Beaver Valley Operating Experience with Microtherm

- Communication with the Industry

- Industry Testing of Microporous Insulation

- Extent of Condition 3

Microtherm Locations 4

Break Locations Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Nozzle break locations Limiting Break Location Steam Generator Hot Leg Nozzle 5

Extent of LOCATION Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Cold Leg 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B RTD X X X Below RPV Nozzle X X X Condition RPV Cavity RPV ICIs Crossover 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B RCP X

X Nozzle X Crossover 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B SG Nozzle X Cold Leg 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B RPV Elbow X Red: Temp-Mat Impacting Existing Break Location (SG HL Nozzle)

Green: Temp-Mat Impacting New RPV Break Location Unit 3 Only 6

Analysis to date

  • Debris Generation

- Primary success path is removal of Temp-Mat in the D-rings for current limiting break

- Microtherm ZOI (zone of influence) based on robustness of encapsulation

- Encapsulated Microtherm ZOI and restrained separation of pipe at RPV nozzle break limits Microtherm quantity to the local region of the break location

  • Debris Transport

- RPV nozzle break - Temp-Mat generated to the Reactor Cavity will not transport to strainers based on very low flow velocity and upward vertical flow path of 18 to 23 feet

  • Cold Leg RPV Elbow Temp-Mat is still being analyzed for impact (Unit 3 Only)

- Generated Microtherm assumed to transport to the strainers 7

Analysis to date (cont)

  • Industry Testing / NPSH

- Salem U2 Test 6 Head Loss conditions (with Min-K) bound Palo Verde with Microtherm for post-LOCA flow scenarios

- Comparative analysis indicates Palo Verde NPSH and structural limits should be bounded by existing SG HL Break location 8

Actions to finalize

  • Confirm Removal of Temp-Mat from D-ring
  • Confirm Removal of Temp-Mat from Unit 3 RPV Cold Leg Elbows
  • Confirm impact of identified Temp-Mat and Microtherm for RPV on chemical effects
  • Finalize LPSI pump failure to trip after Recirculation Actuation Signal (RAS)

Scenario

  • Complete final review of assessment report 9

Summary

  • A resolution path exists for D-ring and RPV nozzle break cases

- Confirmation of chemical effects and LPSI flow scenario items in process

- Open Strainer Area is expected to be comparable with original analysis

  • Confirm removal of Temp-Mat in D-Ring

- Removal of RTD Temp-Mat (all 3 units)

- Removal of Crossover Piping Temp-Mat in Unit 3

  • Confirm removal of Cold Leg RPV Elbows in Unit 3
