==SUBJECT:==
Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1, License Amendment Request (LAR), "Uprate of Shutdown Cooling (SDC) System Entry Conditions" Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) hereby transmits an application for amendment to the Fort Calhoun Station (FCS), Unit No. 1, Renewed Operating License No. DPR-40. The proposed amendment modifies the plant design and licensing basis to increase the shutdown cooling (SDC) system entry temperature from 300'F to 350'F (cold leg), and the SDC entry pressure from 250 psia to 300 psia (indicated at the pressurizer).
Additionally, OPPD requests a change to the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) described design methodology applied to the SDC heat exchangers.
One purpose of the proposed amendment is to increase the SDC system entry conditions to be more consistent with other Combustion Engineering (CE) and Westinghouse nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) plants. Implementation of the proposed change will also increase the operating margin between the auto-closure interlock pressure setpoint for the SDC suction isolation valves (HCV-347/348) and the reactor coolant pump (RCP) net positive suction head (NPSH) requirements.
Currently, as the reactor coolant system (RCS) is transitioned to or from SDC entry conditions (300'F and 250 psia), the RCS pressure approaches the minimum RCP NPSH required.
The current lack of operating margin was a contributing cause of the loss of SDC event that occurred during startup from the 2006 refueling outage (RFO).In addition, the proposed increase in the maximum temperature limitation from 300'F to 350'F will improve plant operation.
Currently, during a cooldown, the steam generators (SGs) must remain in service to remove decay heat until RCS temperature is reduced to 300'F. As the temperature approaches this value, the primary-to-secondary side temperature differential, and corresponding heat removal rate, is significantly reduced, which extends the duration of the cooldown.
The increased maximum temperature limit for SDC entry would provide an improvement in plant performance by permitting an earlier transition from SG heat removal to a faster cooldown using the SDC system. The existing TS RCS cooldown rate limitations are unaffected by the proposed change. P Employment with Equal Opportunity
.A 8 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission LIC-07-0054 Page 2 The proposed modification will change the existing TS requirements for plant conditions at which the SDC system is to be operable to support decay heat removal. TS 2.1, Reactor Coolant System, Sections 2.1.1(2), 2.1.1(3), and 2.1.1(11) are revised to permit operation of the SDC system at RCS cold leg temperatures above 300'F, up to and including 350'F. This change will allow plant operators to initiate SDC operation at 350'F during a plant cooldown.
The TS 2.1 Basis and the FCS Technical Data Book (TDB) are also being revised. The TS Basis changes will be processed in accordance with the TS Basis Change Control program.In addition, a change is proposed to surveillance requirement TS 3.16, Residual Heat Removal System Integrity Testing, to increase the system leakage test pressure from 250 psig to 300 psig. The proposed increase in test pressure is associated with the increase in SDC entry pressure.
A typographical correction is also being made to TS 3.16(1)d to change the spelling of the word"frequence" to "frequency." To support the proposed change, the SDC system will be rerated to increase the maximum operating temperature and pressure.
The SDC heat exchangers are currently classified as American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code, Section III, Class C; however, they were originally designed to Class A and Class C requirements, as described in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR).For the rerate, OPPD proposes to apply only the ASME Class C requirements, consistent with the component classification.
This represents a change to a USAR-described evaluation methodology that is used in establishing the design bases. OPPD requests approval of the change to the USAR described methodology applied to the SDC heat exchangers.
The SDC system rerate activity will be performed by OPPD under the 10 CFR 50.59 process.The enclosure provides OPPD's evaluation of the proposed amendment including a description of the proposed changes, the associated technical basis, and Significant Hazards Evaluation.
Attachments 1 and 2 contain the marked-up and clean-typed TS pages, respectively.

Attachment 4 provides changes to the FCS Technical Data Book for information purposes.In order for the plant modification needed to support the proposed SDC entry condition uprate to be completed during the 2008 RFO, OPPD requests approval of the proposed amendment by April 4, 2008, with implementation prior to startup from the 2008 RFO.This license amendment request (LAR) is limited in scope in an effort to expedite NRC review and approval prior to the 2008 RFO. However, OPPD plans to process a future LAR to revise the remaining 300'F temperatures located throughout the TS to promote consistency within the TS.There are no regulatory conmmitments in this letter.In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, a copy of this application, with the enclosure/attachments, is being provided to the designated State of Nebraska official.

==SUMMARY==
DESCRIPTION This letter is a request to amend Renewed Operating License No. DPR-40 for Fort Calhoun Station (FCS), Unit No. 1, to uprate the shutdown cooling (SDC) entry conditions.
The proposed amendment modifies the plant design and licensing basis to increase the SDC system entry temperature from 300'F to 350'F (cold leg), and the SDC entry pressure from 250 pounds-per-square-inch absolute (psia) to 300 psia (indicated at the pressurizer).
This will increase the SDC entry conditions to be more consistent with other Combustion Engineering (CE) and Westinghouse nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) plants. This proposed change increases the operating margin between the auto-closure interlock pressure setpoint for the SDC suction isolation valves (HCV-347/348) and the reactor coolant pump (RCP) net positive section head (NPSH) requirements.
In addition, the change to the SDC entry conditions will improve plant operations by enabling a more rapid cooldown of the RCS.The proposed modification will change the current Technical Specification (TS) requirements for plant conditions at which the SDC system is to be operable to support decay heat removal.TS 2.1, Reactor Coolant System, Sections 2.1.1(2), 2.1.1(3), and 2.1.1(11), will be revised to permit operation of the SDC system at RCS cold leg temperatures above 300'F, up to and including 350'F. This change will allow plant operators to initiate SDC operation at 350'F during a plant cooldown.
The TS 2.1 Basis and the FCS Technical Data Book (TDB) will also be revised. The TS Basis changes will be processed via the TS Basis Change Control program.In addition, a change is proposed to TS 3.16, Residual Heat Removal System Integrity Testing, to increase the system leakage test pressure from 250 pounds-per-square-inch gauge (psig) to 300 psig. The proposed increase in test pressure is associated with the increase in SDC entry pressure.
A typographical correction is being made to TS 3.16(1)d to change the spelling of the word "frequence" to "frequency." To support the proposed change, the SDC system will be rerated in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, to increase the maximum operating temperature and pressure.
For the rerate, the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) proposes to apply only the ASME, Section III, Class C requirements for the SDC heat exchangers in lieu of the existing USAR requirements (i.e., Class A and Class C). This represents a change to a USAR-described evaluation methodology that is used in establishing the design basis, and as such, requires NRC approval.2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION The proposed changes to the FCS TS are as follows: 2.1 Revise TS 2.1.1(2) for the limiting conditions for operation (LCO) temperature range for the reactor coolant loops, to increase the lower temperature limit from 300'F to 350'F, and to read as follows: Hot Shutdown or 350 &deg;F < Tcold < 515 &deg;F LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 3 2.2 Revise TS 2.1.1(3) for the LCO temperature range for the decay heat removal loops, to increase the upper temperature limit from 300'F to 350'F, and to read as follows: 210 &deg;F < To11 < 350 &deg;F or Toh,, < 210 OF with fuel in the reactor and all reactor vessel head closure bolts fidly tensioned.
 
===2.3 Revise===
TS 2.1.1(1 1)(b), for Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP), to increase the SDC entry temperature from 300'F to 350'F, and to read as follows: The unit cannot be placed on shutdown cooling until the RCS has cooled to an indicated RCS temperature of less than or equal to 350 OF.2.4 Revise TS 3.16(1)a., for Residual Heat Removal System Integrity Testing, to increase the system test pressure from 250 psig to 300 psig, and to read as follows: a. The portion of the shutdown cooling system that is outside the containment, and the piping between the containment spray pump suction and discharge isolation valves, shall be examined for leakage at a pressure no less than 300 psig. This shall be petformed on a refueling frequency.
 
===2.5 Revise===
TS 3.16(1)d.
to correct a typographical error by replacing the misspelled word"frequence" with "frequency" and to read, in part, as follows: d. An internal leakage test shall be petformed on a refueling frequency.
The proposed amendment will increase the SDC system entry conditions to be more consistent with other CE and Westinghouse NSSS plants. The proposed increase in the maximum temperature limitation from 300'F to 350'F will improve plant operation.
Currently, during a cooldown, the steam generators (SGs) must remain in service to remove decay heat until RCS temperature is reduced to 300'F. As the temperature approaches this value, the primary-to-secondary side temperature differential, and corresponding heat removal rate, is significantly reduced, which extends the duration of the cooldown.
The increased maximum temperature limit for SDC entry would provide an improvement in plant performance by permitting an earlier transition from SG heat removal to a faster cooldown using the SDC system. The existing TS RCS cooldown rate limitations are unaffected by the proposed change.In addition, implementation of the proposed change will increase the operating margin between the auto-closure interlock pressure setpoint for the SDC suction isolation valves (HCV-347/348) and the RCP NPSH requirements.
Currently, as the RCS is transitioned to or from SDC entry conditions (300&deg;F and 250 psia), the RCS pressure approaches the minimum RCP NPSH required.
The lowest RCS pressure for RCP operation is 225 psia (indicated at the pressurizer), as specified in the FCS TDB. The current lack of operating margin was a contributing cause of the loss of SDC event that occurred during startup from the 2006 refueling outage (RFO). This change increases the available operating margin from 25 psia, for SDC initiation at 250 psia, to 75 psia, with SDC initiation at 300 psia.
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 4 To support the proposed change, the SDC system will be rerated in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, to increase the maximum operating temperature from 300&deg;F to 350&deg;F (cold leg) and pressure from 250 psia (235 psig) to 300 psia (285 psig), indicated at the pressurizer.
The SDC heat exchangers are currently classified as ASME Code, Section III, Class C; however, they were originally designed to Class A and Class C requirements, as described in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR). For the rerate, OPPD proposes to apply only the ASME Class C requirements.
This represents a change to a USAR-described evaluation methodology that is used in establishing the design bases. OPPD requests approval of the change to the USAR-described methodology applied to the SDC heat exchangers.
The SDC system rerate activity will be performed by OPPD under the 10 CFR 50.59 process.3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
 
===3.1 Shutdown===
Cooling (SDC) System Description The SDC system is shown in USAR Figure 9.3-1 and described in USAR Sections 6.2 and 9.3. The SDC system is designed to reduce the temperature of the reactor coolant at a controlled rate from 300'F to normal refueling temperature.
The system also functions to maintain the proper reactor coolant temperature during refueling and it can be used for reactor coolant purification purposes.
While the plant is shutdown, the SDC system provides an emergency backup for the spent fuel pool cooling system in case of failure of that system.In addition, the SDC system provides flow to the reactor during the long term core cooling mode following a large break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) for the purpose of simultaneous hot and cold leg injection.
The SDC heat exchangers can also be made available to supply cooled containment sump water to the high pressure safety injection (HPSI) pumps for long term core cooling. The SDC system interfaces with the RCS, the low pressure safety injection (LPSI) system, and the component cooling water (CCW)system. The RCS, LPSI system and the CCW system are described in USAR Section 4.0, USAR Section 6.2, and USAR Section 9.7, respectively.
During plant operation, two valves in series isolate the suction of both LPSI pumps from the RCS. In addition, a relief valve in this piping, vented to the waste disposal system, protects the system from overpressure.
These isolation valves are opened after the RCS temperature has been decreased to 300'F and the RCS pressure has been reduced to below 250 psia (235 psig), indicated at the pressurizer, by bypassing steam to the condenser or by another appropriate steam path (e.g., atmospheric dump valves). The system utilizes the LPSI pumps to circulate the reactor coolant from the SDC nozzle through the two SDC heat exchangers, returning it to the RCS through the LPSI header.The cooldown rate is controlled by adjusting the flow rate through the heat exchangers.
Either heat exchanger can achieve cooldown at the design rate. Cooling water for the SDC heat exchangers is normally supplied by the CCW system, although the raw water system may be used as a backup.SDC initiation is controlled by the procedural limits of 300'F and 250 psia (235 psig), as noted above, and also by the SDC suction valve interlock, set at 235 psig (250 psia at LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 5 pressurizer).
The TS, through the RCS Pressure-Temperature Limits Report (PTLR), establish limits for plant operation for protection of the 10 CFR 50, Appendix G, brittle fracture limits. Low temperature overpressure protection (LTOP) requirements establish maximum pressure limits during low temperature RCS operation.
The bounding limitation is the pressurizer power-operated relief valve (PORV) variable setpoint.Operational limitations, in accordance with the PTLR, are required below the LTOP enable temperature of 350'F.3.2 Rerate of SDC System To support the proposed change, the SDC system will be rerated as required to have higher design and operating pressures and temperatures.
The SDC system components are subject to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Comnponents, and the requirements of ASME, Section XI, paragraph IWA-4330, Rerating, apply. The rerating task and the associated plant physical modifications and changes to approved plant procedures will be performed in accordance with the FCS modification process and 10 CFR 50.59 review process. Therefore, NRC approval of the rerate activity is not requested in this license amendment request (LAR). The topics addressed in the rerate activity are summarized below for information:
 
====3.2.1 Changes====
to SDC Design Pressure and Temperature The revised design pressures and temperatures for the SDC system piping and components are summarized in the following SDC Design Pressures and Temperatures Table: Table I -SDC Design Pressures and Temperatures Current Design New Design Current Design New Design Component Pressure Pressure Temperature Temperature
[psig] [psig] [OF] [OF]SDC pumps 300 350 300 350 suction piping SDC (LPSI)pumps discharge 500 550 350 350 piping SDC (LPSI) 500 550 350 350 pumps SDC heat ean 500 550 350 350 1exchangers I In addition, the SDC suction-to-RCS valves (HCV-347 and HCV-348) interlock setpoint will be changed from 235 psig (250 psia at pressurizer) to 285 psig (300 psia at pressurizer).
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 6 3.2.2 SDC Heat Exchanger Design Capability Heat Transfer Capability During normal plant shutdown cooling, the SDC heat exchangers are designed to remove RCS decay heat, primary pump work heat and LPSI pump work heat to gradually cool the RCS. The heat removed from the RCS is transferred to the CCW system. The CCW design operating range at the CCW heat exchanger outlet is 55&deg;F to 1 10&deg;F. Decay heat is a function of the time after shutdown.
By increasing the SDC system initiation point from an RCS temperature of 300&deg;F to an RCS temperature of 350 0 F, the SDC initiation time after shutdown is potentially decreased and the decay heat load is potentially increased.
Conservatively assuming an RCS cooldown rate equal to the maximum allowable cooldown rate of 100&deg;F/hour, the minimum SDC initiation time after shutdown is decreased.
This results in an increase in the decay heat load of about 8% to 12% at the time of SDC initiation (assuming a conservative 2-hour cooldown at 100 0 F/hour from 550'F to 350'F). However, the initial temperature differential between the RCS fluid and CCW fluid will also increase.
Based on a CCW inlet temperature to the SDC heat exchanger of 11 0&deg;F, the initial temperature difference will increase by approximately 26%. As the heat transfer capacity of heat exchangers is a function of differential temperature, the increased heat transfer capacity as a result of the increase in SDC initiation temperature will exceed the increase in the decay heat load. A calculation was performed that verifies that the SDC/CCW system has the capability to cool down from the new initiation reactor coolant temperature of 350'F to 130&deg;F at nominal full power of 1500 MWt and nominal service fouling level in the original design basis time of 24 hours. Therefore, the heat transfer capacity of the SDC heat exchangers will remain adequate.Thermal Transient Evaluation The SDC heat exchangers are designed to withstand an instantaneous increase in tube side inlet flow temperature from 70'F to 300 0 F. The 300'F temperature is consistent with the current maximum RCS temperature for the initiation of the SDC system for the normal operating mode. It is also consistent with current limitations on SDC system initiation under accident operating modes in which the SDC system takes suction from the RCS. For accident operating modes in which the SDC system takes suction from alternative sources (e.g., the safety injection and refueling water tank (SIRWT) or the contaimnent recirculation sump), the peak operating temperature of the SDC system is based on the temperature of the alternate suction source and is independent of the RCS temperature.
For the rerate, it is proposed that the RCS temperature limitation for initiation of the SDC system be raised to 350'F for both the normal operating mode and accident operating modes in which the SDC system takes suction from the RCS.Initiation of the SDC system in the normal operating mode requires operator action. It is not an automatic action (e.g., like automatic initiation of safety injection upon receipt of a safety injection actuation signal (SIAS)). For the normal SDC operating mode, plant LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 7 procedures require a gradual warm-up of the SDC system to the RCS temperature.
The maximum warin-up rate is specified as 20&deg;F/min and the procedure states that the SDC warm-up should take at least 10 minutes. Warm-up is accomplished by using a warm-up recirculation line and by limiting flow to/from the RCS during SDC initiation.
These procedural requirements will be maintained for the proposed change. Therefore, the normal SDC initiation procedure will not subject the heat exchangers to a rapid thermal transient.
Hence, testing of the SDC heat exchangers for a rapid thermal transient to the proposed new SDC system initiation temperature of 350'F is not required to qualify the normal operating mode.Similar to the normal operating mode, the initiation of the SDC system in any of the accident operating modes in which the SDC system does not take suction from the RCS, requires operator action. For these accident SDC operating modes, the governing procedures require a gradual warm-up of the SDC system to the RCS temperature.
The maximum warm-up rate is specified as 20&deg;F/min and the procedures state that the SDC warm-up should take at least 10 minutes. Warm-up is accomplished by using a warm-up recirculation line and by limiting flow to/from the RCS during SDC initiation.
These procedural requirements will be maintained for the proposed change. Therefore, these accident SDC initiation procedures will not subject the heat exchangers to a rapid thermal transient.
Hence, testing the SDC heat exchangers for a rapid thermal transient to the proposed new peak SDC system initiation temperature of 350'F is not required to qualify these accident operating modes.SDC (LPSI) Pumps Design The SDC pumps, SI-lA and SI-1B, also referred to as the LPSI pumps, have been analyzed for the new design pressure and temperature of 550 psig and 350'F from a Code stress standpoint.
In order to meet Code allowable stress limits, the existing pump hold-down bolting must be replaced with bolting composed of a stronger material.The NPSH margin for the pumps has been shown to be acceptable at the rerate design conditions.
The LPSI pumps were designed for thermal transients which exceed those expected during operation.
Testing for one LPSI pump included a suction temperature increase from 50'F to 303&deg;F (AT=253 0 F) in 12 seconds and a suction temperature decrease from 308'F to 60'F (AT=248 0 F) in 12 seconds (USAR Section 6.2.3.2).During normal plant cooldown, the SDC system is warmed up before initiation as described above. During plant startup and SDC shutdown, no cold water is introduced during the plant start up process. Additionally the effect of thermal shock for a transient of 40'F to 350'F (AT=290&deg;F) in 5 to 10 seconds was reviewed as part of the pump rerate evaluation.
The loading caused by the induced thermal stress on the casing ring was found to be acceptable with significant margin.Based on the procedurally controlled manner in which the SDC system is wanned to RCS temperature after system initiation, it is concluded that no re-analysis or additional testing for rapid thermal transients is required.
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 8 In accordance with ASME Code Section XI, Paragraph IWA-4331(d), a Form NIS-2 must be completed to document the pump rerating.
Also, Paragraph IWA-4331(e) requires that a new nameplate be added with the revised ratings and reference to the rerating documentation must be attached to the LPSI pumps as close as possible to the existing nameplates.
The design pressure and temperature of the LPSI pump coolers (5140 psig and 800'F, respectively) bound the rerate design conditions.
Additionally, the impact of the rerate on the pump cooling loop has been evaluated.
In order to ensure adequate pump seal and bearing cooling, the CCW inlet temperature at the seal cooler must not exceed the design value of 100&deg;F when the reactor coolant temperature is between 300'F and 350'F. The SDC system operating procedures will be revised (under EC 35639) to ensure that this requirement is imposed during SDC system operation.
CCW temperature can be controlled by removing non-essential heat loads and/or throttling CCW flow.3.2.3 Other SDC Component Evaluations Although the LPSI pumps (and pump coolers) and the SDC heat exchangers are the major components requiring evaluation, other components in the SDC system were evaluated for adequacy of temperature and pressure ratings, and setpoints.
The evaluations included assessment of: relief valve setpoints and discharge capacity; valve actuator thrust capability; control valve cavitation (due to higher operating temperature);
MOV torque/thrust requirements; MOV pressure locking and thermal binding; SDC isolation valve interlocks; and instrumentation setpoints and ranges. Physical plant changes will be implemented, as required to ensure the design is adequate for the uprated SDC conditions, via the modification/engineering change process for EC 35639.3.2.4 SDC Piping Analysis The SDC piping system has been re-analyzed as part of EC 35639 to ensure that the piping/support configuration meets the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, USAR commitments, and OPPD piping analysis and modeling criteria.
This included evaluation of support loads, valve accelerations, pump and heat exchanger nozzle loads, and pipe movements at wall penetration bellows.3.2.5 Impact on CCW System As discussed in Section 3.2.2, the proposed 50'F increase in SDC initiation temperature could result in an approximately 8% to 12% relative increase in the SDC heat load on the component cooling water system from decay heat. Therefore, this increase in SDC initiation temperature to 3507F can also result in an increase in CCW temperature until the temperature of the RCS decreases below 300'F. The CCW system is designed for the design basis post accident heat loads which bound the SDC loads. The SDC system rerate has no impact on the Chapter 14 design basis post- accident cooling requirements.
As discussed below, the post-accident cooling loads on the CCW system still bound the loads during SDC system operation by a significant margin.
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 9 The maximum CCW system return temperature to the CCW heat exchanger is 160'F based on post accident conditions.
The CCW design operating range at the CCW heat exchanger outlet is 55'F to 1 10&deg;F. The current design heat load of each SDC heat exchanger on the CCW system during shutdown cooling operation is 37.1 MBtuihr. The post-accident heat load of each heat exchanger on the CCW system is 58.9 MBtu/hr (117.8 MBtu/hr for two heat exchangers).
Additionally, the total CCW system heat load during shutdown cooling operation (61.1 MBtuihr) is significantly lower than the total CCW system heat load during the injection phase of a LOCA (352.2 MBtu/hr).Therefore, considering the maximum expected increase in SDC heat exchanger heat load of approximately 8% to 12%, the design basis post-accident SDC heat exchanger loads on the CCW system bound the SDC heat exchanger loads on the CCW system. A calculation was performed that verifies that the SDC/CCW system has the capability to cool down from the proposed new SDC entry temperature of 350'F to 130'F in 24 hours, assuming the reactor has operated at nominal full power of 1500 MWt and the SDC heat exchangers have nominal service fouling. The 24-hour time is consistent with the original design basis for the SDC system.Hence, the design basis post-accident CCW return temperature from the SDC heat exchangers will also bound the CCW return temperature from the SDC heat exchangers during shutdown cooling.3.3 SDC Heat Exchangers USAR Design Methodology Change The current licensing basis evaluation methodology applicable to the SDC heat exchangers is described in USAR Section 6.2.3.4. This section states that the units were designed and constructed to the standards of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Classes A and C, and Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA) Class R requirements.
In addition to the requirements of the code, a fatigue analysis was performed which considered all specified transient conditions.
The heat exchanger tube side was conservatively analyzed as Class A and Class C, as shown in Table 6.2-3. However, as also stated in the USAR, the classification of the tube side was subsequently changed to ASME Section III, Class C.For the SDC system rerate activity described in Section 3.2, it was determined that the SDC heat exchanger tube side should be evaluated to ASME Section III, Class C, consistent with the current component classification in the USAR. However, this analytical method differs from the original design method described in the USAR (i.e., Class A and C). Therefore, the proposed activity involves a change to a USAR-described evaluation methodology that is used in establishing the design bases.Following the NRC's review and approval of this amendment request, the USAR will be revised to indicate that the heat exchanger tube side meets ASME Code, Section III, Class C design requirements.
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 10 3.4 LTOP Analysis Attachment 3 provides the revised LTOP analysis supporting the proposed change. The LTOP system at FCS provides peak pressure protection for transients that may occur while the RCS temperature is at the LTOP enable temperature of 350'F, (indicated T-cold). These transients are bounded by mass injection events such as a spurious safety injection (SI) signal, and by heat addition events such as the startup of an RCP while the SGs contain hot secondary fluid. In the first case, the added water pressurizes the RCS.In the second case, cool RCS fluid is introduced into the SGs causing the RCS fluid to expand, also pressurizing the RCS.LTOP protection is provided by one of two means depending on the transient.
For mass addition cases, the pressurizer PORVs open relieving sufficient water flow to offset the injected fluid. The PORV control system compares the pressurizer pressure to a function of pressure versus cold leg temperature.
If the pressurizer pressure exceeds this pressure vs. temperature curve (termed the LTOP curve), then the PORVs open. (Note: the mass addition cases conservatively also include a loss of SDC, so that heat is also added from the RCPs, the core decay heat, and the pressurizer heaters. Thus, the mass addition case also bounds all anticipated spurious heat addition sources that might occur simultaneous to mass injection.)
The limiting heat addition case involves the startup of an RCP. The mitigation of the heat addition transient is by the TS 2.1.1(1 1)(c) requirement for a minimum steam void in the pressurizer prior to RCP start. The steam void maintains pressure as it collapses, since the steam is at saturated conditions and sees only a modest temperature rise as it is condensed.
The time required for the void collapse allows the RCS to heat up and equilibrate with the secondary fluid temperature.
Once this occurs, the transient has been effectively mitigated, although there is still a small net heat input due to the methodology's conservative assumptions.
Specifically, it is assumed that SDC is not available while heat is added from the RCP, a high assumed decay heat, and a failed pressurizer heater control system.The revised analysis uses a RELAP5 Mod 3.2d model, consistent with the current analysis.
The only mass addition transient from the current design basis analysis that required reanalysis is Case 9, which is the mass addition case when first aligned to shutdown cooling. Previously, this case was run assuming that the RCS was at 314'F (300'F nominal plus 14'F uncertainty in indicated temperature).
For the proposed change, Case 9 is run assuming that the RCS is at 364&deg;F (350'F nominal plus 14&deg;F uncertainty).
The same heat addition transients that were previously evaluated are re-analyzed for the proposed change. The results are more limiting, since the initial RCS-SG temperature differential is increased, and therefore more heat is added into the RCS. Even so, with an assumed pressurizer steam void of 40% actual (at least 50% indicated), all cases demonstrate that a sizable steam void remains in the pressurizer after ten minutes, and that the event at this time is limited to normal heat sources (decay heat, pressurizer heaters, and RCP heat). Steady state is not quite achieved because the conservative LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 11 methodology specifies a net heat input due to a hypothesized loss of shutdown cooling.In all heat addition cases, it is expected that no PORV will open; however, one case is also provided that intentionally opens a PORV to demonstrate that the PORV capacity is sufficient to offset the transient.
The results of the revised LTOP analysis provided in Attachment 3 show that the existing FCS LTOP setpoint curve provided in FCS TDB-III.7.a, RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits, will continue to be acceptable for use after implementation of the proposed change. In addition, the operational restrictions listed in Table 2 of Attachment 3 are unchanged, except for the requirement that the SDC system cannot be placed in operation until the RCS has been cooled to 350'F.Other TDB sections that will be affected by implementation of the proposed change include TDB-IX, RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits Report and TDB-III.7.d, RCS Pressure and Temperature Limits. The markup to TDB-III.7.d is provided for information in Attachment 4 to show the change to the P-T limit curve for the proposed modified SDC conditions.
3.5 SDC System Leakage Testing As discussed in USAR Section 14.15, Loss-of Coolant Accident, the combined engineered safety feature (ESF) and safety injection/refueling water tank (SIRWT)recirculation leakage outside containment is limited by the TS to 3800 cubic centimeters (cc)/hr. The USAR analysis used 7600 cc/hr as the ESF/SIRWT leakage rate (includes factor of 2). The 3800 cc/hr leakage limit is currently verified in accordance with TS 3.16. Per the TS, the portion of the SDC system that is outside the containment, and the piping between the containment spray pump suction and discharge isolation valves, are tested for leakage at each RFO at a pressure no less than 250 psig. For the proposed change, the test pressure is to be increased to 300 psig. This represents a 50 psi increase over the existing test pressure, and is consistent with the increase in the operating pressure limit and the design pressure.
However, the leakage limit of 3800 cc/hr will not be increased.
3.6 Use of RCS Tcold vs. Thot in the Technical Specifications Reference
 
===6.3 provided===
FCS TS Amendment No. 212, which revised TS 2.5, "Steam and Feedwater Systems." The changes were made to bring the FCS auxiliary feedwater (AFW) TS into closer alignment with the Standard Technical Specifications (STS)(Reference 6.2). As discussed in the NRC safety evaluation for the amendment and related correspondence, OPPD was requested to justify use of Tco 0 d rather than Thot as the reference temperature for TS 2.5. The NRC noted that Thor is the most direct indication of RCS temperature for determination of the need for the AFW system. However, OPPD stated that when the RCS temperature approaches 300&deg;F during plant shutdown and startup, the difference between RCS Thot and Tcold is less than 2&deg;F. This difference is close to the accuracy of the temperature instrument, thus, the TS reference temperature, Tcold, is essentially equivalent to Thot or Tavg. This conclusion was supported by data taken during the shutdown and startup of the plant for the Spring 2002 RFO.
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 12 For the proposed change, the justification for using T 0 old has been reviewed to confirm its validity for the increased SDC entry temperature of 350TF. Based on plant operating data for RCS temperature, the difference between RCS Thot and Tcold at the increased SDC entry temperature is less than 2'F. It is concluded that continued use of Tcold as a reference temperature in the TS is acceptable.
 
===3.7 Impact===
on USAR Accident Analysis Applicable accidents previously analyzed in the USAR are summarized in Section 4.1.2.The effects of the proposed change are discussed below.Boron Dilution Incident The proposed change to increase the SDC entry temperature to 350'F affects the analysis of the Boron Dilution Incident analyzed in USAR Section 14.3. Boron dilution is a manual operation that uses the chemical and volume control system (CVCS), conducted under strict procedural controls, which specify permissible limits on the rate and magnitude of any required change in boron concentration.
Boron concentration in the RCS can be decreased either by controlled addition of unborated makeup water with a corresponding removal of reactor coolant (feed and bleed) or by using the deborating ion exchangers.
The deborating ion exchangers are used for boron removal when the boron concentration is low, and the feed and bleed method becomes inefficient.
An inadvertent boron dilution occurs through the introduction of unborated water into the RCS via the CVCS. The unborated water increases the core reactivity and reduces the shutdown margin. An inadvertent boron dilution can occur only if there is a combination of operator error and a CVCS malfunction occurring at the same time. The most limiting inadvertent boron dilution transient is typically a malfunction that causes pure water to be delivered to the RCS by all available charging pumps.Although the possibility is remote, a boron dilution incident could occur either with the reactor shutdown or operating.
The purpose of the boron dilution analysis is to ensure that there is a large enough time interval for the operator to manually terminate a boron dilution event for any mode of operation before specified acceptable fuel design limits are violated.The USAR boron dilution analysis employs two dilution models, depending on whether the RCPs are operating or the SDC system is in service. The dilution rate in the SDC mode is slower than when the RCPs are operating.
The current analysis evaluates a case where the RCS temperature is between the cold shutdown temperature
(> 210'F) and 300'F. The proposed change to increase the SDC entry temperature to 350'F requires re-evaluation of this case. The boron dilution analysis is performed each operating cycle to incorporate cycle-specific core physics data. The final boron dilution analysis for the next cycle (Cycle 25) will be completed prior to shutdown for the 2008 RFO. However, a preliminary re-analysis has been performed with the revised SDC conditions.
The acceptance criterion is that a minimum time interval of 15 minutes must be available for operator action to terminate the event. The current analysis indicates that 17.78 minutes LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 13 are available (USAR Table 14.3-2). Although the preliminary re-analysis for the proposed change shows that the available time is reduced by 0.55 minutes, the acceptance criterion is still met.Main Steam Line Break (MSLB)As discussed in Section 4.1.2, the MSLB analysis evaluates steam release from the secondary system through the main steam safety valves and the atmospheric dump valves for radiological impacts. The release occurs until SDC entry conditions are reached at 295&deg;F. Although the proposed change would enable an earlier SDC entry (at 350'F), it is more conservative to assume an 8-hour steam release and SDC entry at 295&deg;F. Therefore, these analyses are not being revised for the proposed change.Large Break LOCA As discussed in Section 3.5, the SDC leakage test pressure will be increased by the proposed change, however, the test acceptance criteria of 3800 cc/hr will not be changed. Therefore, the USAR Section 14.15.8 radiological analysis of the LOCA will not be affected.LOCA during Shutdown USAR Section 14.15.7.1 discusses a LOCA during plant shutdown.
The USAR explains that, although the event is unlikely due to the reduced pressure conditions, there is a period of about 25 hours during a cooldown during which automatic initiation of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) is not available.
The pressurizer pressure low signal (PPLS) is bypassed below 1700 psia, and the safety injection tanks will be valved out when the system temperature and pressure reach 400'F and 400 psia, respectively.
This 25-hour period considers a cooldown to SDC entry conditions (300'F and 250 psia), followed by a temperature reduction from 300'F to 140'F in about 24 hours. For the proposed change, the higher entry temperature will allow for faster cooldown from 350'F using the SDC system as compared to the current method, which requires use of the SGs from 350'F to 300'F. A calculation was performed that verifies that the SDC/CCW system has the capability to cool down from the proposed new SDC entry temperature of 350'F to 130'F in 24 hours, assuming the reactor has operated at nominal full power of 1500 MWt and the SDC heat exchangers have nominal service fouling. The 24-hour time is consistent with the original design basis for the SDC system. Therefore, the period during which automatic initiation of the ECCS is not available during a shutdown is bounded by the current analysis.Other Accidents As summarized in Section 4.1.2, previously analyzed accidents in the USAR, other than the boron dilution incident, credit the safety functions of the SDC system for accident mitigation.
The proposed change does not affect the safety functions or any setpoints associated with the accident mitigation functions of the SDC system.
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 14 3.8 Risk Information The proposed change is based on the calculations and analyses performed in conjunction with modification/engineering change (EC) 35639, "Shutdown Cooling Entry Conditions." The ASME Section XI, Class 2 pressure retaining components were rerated in accordance with the requirements of ASME Section XI, paragraph IWA-4330,"RERAT[NG." In addition, implementation of the proposed change will increase the operating margin between the auto-closure interlock pressure setpoint for the SDC suction isolation valves (HCV-347/348) and the RCP NPSH requirements.
The current lack of operating margin was a contributing cause of the loss of SDC event that occurred during startup from the 2006 RFO.The new SDC entry conditions result in the initiation of SDC approximately 1/2 hour earlier in the shutdown process (at a maximum cooldown rate of 100&deg;F/hr) and, similarly, 1/2 hour later in the start up process where decay heat is low. This results in a small increase in the time that the plant is susceptible to an intersystem LOCA, in which the SDC suction isolation valves HCV-347 and HCV-348 are open.The SG availability for decay heat removal is maintained by the current LCOs in TS 2.1.1(6), Reactor Coolant System, and 2.5, Steam and Feedwater Systems, that require the SGs and AFW system to be operable with the RCS temperature above 300 0 F. This will ensure that the SGs are available to remove decay heat, if required, during periods when the RCS is operating in the increased SDC operating temperature range (i.e., 300'F to 350'F).The primary benefit of the proposed change to the SDC entry conditions is that the operating margin for the SDC suction valve auto-closure interlock setpoint is increased.
This reduces the probability of inadvertently isolating the SDC system. The proposed change does not alter the independence and/or redundancy of the systems being modified and the single failure provisions as described in the USAR are not affected.The proposed change does not increase the potential for operator error. No new operator system interactions are introduced.
Setpoints associated with RCS pressure are changed, however, the operator response remains the same.In addition, OPPD's evaluation of Generic Letter 98-02, Loss of Reactor Coolant hIventory and Associated Potential for Loss of Mitigation Functions While in a Shutdown Condition (Reference 6.4), is not affected by the proposed change. This evaluation determined that FCS is not susceptible to commnon-mode failure similar to events described in the generic letter.3.9 Summary The proposed uprate of the SDC entry conditions in the TS is supported by a rerate of the SDC system design temperature and pressure, and the maximum operating temperature and pressure, performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Code.A change is proposed to the SDC heat exchangers USAR design methodology to be LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 15 consistent with the current USAR classification of these components.
The LTOP analysis has been revised to address the uprated conditions and no changes to the LTOP setpoints are required.
The proposed increase in the SDC system leakage test pressure in the TS is consistent with the rerate of the system and will not affect the leakage test acceptance criteria.
The affect of the proposed change on the USAR Boron Dilution Incident has been evaluated and the results remain within the USAR acceptance criteria.The proposed change will increase FCS SDC entry conditions to be more consistent with other CE plants, improve plant operation, and provide increased operating margin between the auto-close interlock pressure setpoint for the SDC suction isolation valves and the RCP NPSH requirements.

10 CFR 50.55a -Codes and Standards.
1OCFR50.55a mandates use of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, for plant inservice inspection, with limitations and modifications.
The proposed amendment will be in accordance with ASME Section XI (Reference 6.1), paragraph IWA-4330, "Rerating." 10 CFR 50, Appendix G -Fracture Toughness Requirements.
The revised LTOP analysis ensures that the P-T limits required per Appendix G are not exceeded during limiting LTOP events.4.1.2 Design Basis (USAR)The applicable FCS USAR accidents analyzed for this LAR are discussed below:
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 20 Boron Dilution Incident (USAR Section 14.3): An inadvertent boron dilution occurs through the introduction of unborated water into the RCS via the CVCS.The unborated water increases the core reactivity and reduces the shutdown margin. An inadvertent boron dilution can occur only if there is a combination of operator error and a CVCS malfunction occurring at the same time. The most limiting inadvertent boron dilution transient is typically a malfunction that causes pure water to be delivered to the RCS by all available charging pumps.The USAR analysis of this accident is affected by the proposed change. The USAR evaluation for dilution considers a dilution case for RCS temperatures between the cold shutdown temperature (above 210'F) and 300'F. The maximum temperature corresponds to SDC entry conditions.
For the proposed change, this case has been re-analyzed with an SDC entry temperature of 350'F.(Refer to Section 3.7 for further discussion.)
Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) Accident (USAR Section 14.12): In the event of a large pipe break in the main steam system, rapid depletion of the SG inventory causes an increased rate of heat extraction from the primary coolant.The resultant cooldown of the primary coolant, in the presence of a negative moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity, will cause an increase in nuclear power prior to a reactor trip and an erosion of shutdown margin after reactor trip.If the most reactive control element assembly (CEA) is assumed stuck in its fully withdrawn position after reactor trip, there is an increased possibility that the core will return to power and criticality.
The accident assessment addresses steam releases from the atmospheric dump valves (ADVs) from the intact SG. The iodine activity in the intact SG liquid is released to the environment in proportion to the steaming rate and the partition factor. The intact SG steam releases terminate when SDC conditions are reached.For the analysis, a SDC entry temperature of 295'F was assumed. The proposed change increases the SDC entry temperature from 300'F to 350'F, which would enable an earlier SDC entry. However, for the MSLB, it is more conservative to assume a steam release until SDC entry at 295&deg;F. Therefore, this analysis will not be revised by the proposed amendment.
LOCA during shutdown (Section 14.15.7.1):
The USAR explains that at any time after the Safety Injection Tanks (SITs) are isolated, the RCS pressure is 400 psia or less, and the total stress in any component will be less than the total stress at the design pressure.
Therefore, the possibility of a LOCA during SDC becomes even more remote than while at power. Although the event is unlikely due to the reduced pressure conditions, there is a period of about 25 hours during a cooldown during which automatic initiation of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) is not available.
The PPLS is bypassed below 1700 psia, and the safety injection tanks will be valved out when the system temperature and pressure reach 400'F and 400 psia, respectively.
This 25-hour period considers a cooldown to SDC entry conditions (300'F and 250 psia), followed by a temperature reduction from 300'F to 140'F in about 24 hours. A calculation was performed that verifies that the SDC/CCW system has the capability to cool LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 21 down from the proposed new SDC entry temperature of 350'F to 130'F in 24 hours, assuming the reactor has operated at nominal full power of 1500 MWt and the SDC heat exchangers have nominal service fouling. The 24-hour time is consistent with the original design basis for the SDC system. (Refer to Section 3.7 for further discussion.)
The SDC system safety function is credited in the accident analyses for several other events, as described in the USAR, although the initiation temperature is not specifically discussed:
Loss of Coolant Flow Incident (Section 14.6); Control Element Assembly (CEA) Ejection Accident (Section 14.13); Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) Accident (Section 14.14); and, Loss of Coolant Accident (large break) (Section 14.15). The proposed change will not affect the SDC accident-mitigation function and will not affect these analyses.4.1.3 Approved Methodologies The SDC heat exchangers are analyzed in accordance with ASME Code, Section III, Class C design requirements.
Use of this code is authorized by 10 CFR 50.55a.OPPD's LTOP methodology for FCS, which uses RELAP5 Mod 3.2d, is an NRC-approved methodology.
 
====4.1.4 Analysis====
The design analysis of the SDC heat exchangers for the proposed change will comply with the ASME Code, Section III, 1968 Edition. The revised LTOP analysis ensures that the P-T limits required per Appendix G are not exceeded during limiting LTOP events.The revised analysis (Attachment
: 3) determined that no changes to the LTOP setpoints are required for the proposed change.4.2 Precedent No specific precedent has been identified for uprating the SDC system entry conditions.
OPPD's review indicates that many pressurized water reactors (PWRs) have SDC entry conditions that are above 300'F and 250 psia (235 psig) as many PWRs were originally designed with entry temperatures above 300'F and pressures above 250 psia (235 psig).In the case of Palo Verde, it was identified that, during Unit No. 1 construction, the SDC system pressure was increased from 350 psig to 400 psig.However, precedent for uprating conditions via a license amendment was not identified.
The proposed amendment raises the SDC entry conditions to be more consistent with other PWRs. Examples of SDC entry conditions for several CE NSSS plants are: Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 2 2750 F / 300 psia Palisades 3000 F / 270 psia San Onofre Units 2 and 3 3500 F / 376 psia St. Lucie Unit 1: 350 'F / 350 psig Waterford Unit 3: 350 'F / 377 psig Palo Verde Units 1, 2, 3: 350 'F / 400 psig LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 22 With regard to LTOP protection, of the six plants listed above, St. Lucie Unit I and Palisades provide LTOP protection using pressurizer PORVs, which is the same method used at FCS. However, ANO-2, San Onofre, Waterford, and Palo Verde do not have pressurizer PORVs and provide different means of LTOP protection.
 
===4.3 Significant===
 
Hazards Consideration The proposed amendment revises Technical Specification (TS) 2.1, Reactor Coolant System, Sections 2.1.1(2), 2.1.1(3), and 2.1.1(11), to permit operation of the shutdown cooling (SDC) system at reactor coolant system (RCS) cold leg temperatures above 300'F, up to and including 3507F; and revises TS 3.16, Residual Heat Removal System Integrity Testing, to increase the system leakage test pressure from 250 psig to 300 psig.These changes will improve plant operations by enabling a more rapid cooldown of the RCS while maintaining current cooldown rate limits. The proposed change will also provide increased operating margin between the auto-close interlock pressure setpoint for the SDC suction isolation valves and the reactor coolant pump (RCP) net positive suction head (NPSH). The proposed increase in test pressure is associated with the increase in SDC entry pressure.
A change is also proposed to the SDC heat exchangers Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) described design methodology to be consistent with the current USAR classification of these components.
The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," as discussed below: 1. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The shutdown cooling (SDC) system provides flow to the reactor during long term cooling mode following a large break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). In addition, the SDC system can supply cooled sump water to the high pressure safety injection (HPSI) pumps for long term core cooling. The SDC system is also designed to reduce the temperature of the reactor coolant system (RCS) from 300'F to refueling temperature within 24 hours and to maintain the proper RCS temperature during refueling.
As such, the SDC system is not an initiator for any accident previously evaluated.
The proposed change to increase the SDC entry temperature from 300'F to 3507F affects the inputs to the analysis of the Boron Dilution Incident.
However, re-analysis of this accident with the increased temperature does not result in an increase in the probability of the accident.
The proposed increase in SDC system design and operating temperature and pressure has been evaluated for affects on system piping and components using appropriate codes and standards.
The proposed changes do not introduce any failure mechanisms that would initiate a LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 23 previously analyzed accident.
Therefore, the proposed change to uprate the SDC system entry conditions does not result in a significant increase in the probability of a previously evaluated accident.The potential effect of the proposed change on the consequences of a previously evaluated accident has been considered.
Re-analysis of the Boron Dilution Incident with the proposed increased SDC entry temperature does not result in an increase in the consequences of the accident.In addition, although an increase in the SDC system leakage test pressure is proposed, the leakage test acceptance criteria (i.e., maximum permitted leakage per hour) will not be affected.
Therefore, the limit on post-accident leakage to atmosphere from the SDC system is unchanged.
The proposed increase in SDC system design and operating temperature and pressure does not affect the redundancy or availability of the SDC system. The design functions of the system are not affected by the proposed change. Therefore, the SDC system will still be capable of performing the safety functions needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
: 2. Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed change alters the SDC system entry conditions and increases the system leakage test pressure.
In the current design, the SDC system has been excluded from consideration as a pipe rupture initiator since it is not normally in operation.
It is used for plant shutdown and startup, and for accident mitigation.
With the proposed change, the operating modes of the system will not be affected.The proposed change increases the RCS temperature and pressure at which the SDC system can be placed in service during shutdown (or removed from service during startup), but the RCS, SDC, and other plant systems are not operated in a different manner. The increased heat load on the component cooling water (CCW)system resulting from normal operation of the SDC at increased SDC temperatures has been evaluated.
The increased normal operating heat load has been determined to be bounded by the post-accident CCW heat load. Any adjustments to the cooldown rate needed to accommodate the increased SDC entry temperature will be performed using approved procedures consistent with current practice and would not require operating the plant in a different manner.The RCS cooldown rate limitations in the Technical Specifications (TS) are not affected by the proposed change. In addition, adjustments of CCW heat loads to maintain required CCW inlet temperatures for the SDC (Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI)) pump coolers, when operating at the increased SDC entry LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 24 temperature, will be in accordance with plant procedures and within existing system capabilities.
The low temperature overpressurization (LTOP) analysis has been revised for the proposed change. However, there are no effects on existing LTOP setpoints or operating limitations, other than the proposed change to TS 2.1.1(1 1)(b), which states that the unit cannot be placed on shutdown cooling until the RCS has been cooled to < 3507F. The proposed change in SDC operating limitations does not introduce the possibility of new or different equipment malfunctions or accident precursors.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
: 3. Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:
No.The margins of safety are established through design parameters, operating parameters, and the setpoints at which automatic actions are initiated.
The proposed change increases the SDC system entry conditions for plant shutdown, startup and following postulated accidents, and the SDC system leakage test pressure.
However, the accident mitigation function and post-accident operation of the system is not affected.
The operating limits on temperature and pressure will remain below the design temperature and pressure for the system. The time interval for operator action after a postulated boron dilution event with the SDC system in operation is reduced, however, the available time remains greater than the minimum required time interval of 15 minutes. The proposed change does not affect any design or operating parameter or setpoint used in the accident analyses to establish the margin of safety.Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.Based on the above, OPPD concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
 
===4.4 Conclusions===
In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed mariner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
LIC-07-0054 Enclosure Page 25 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION A review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement.
However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

Basis (Continue d When Specification 2.1.1(3) is applicable, a single reactor coolant loop or shutdown cooling loop provides sufficient heat removal capability for removing decay heat, but single failure considerations require that at least two loops be operable.
Thus, if the reactor coolant loops are not OPERABLE, this specification requires two shutdown cooling pumps to be OPERABLE.One of the conditions for which Specification 2.1.1(3) is applicable is when the RCS temperature (Tcold) is less than 210 0 F, fuel is in the reactor and all reactor vessel closure bolts are fully tensioned.
As soon as a reactor vessel head closure bolt is loosened, Specification 2.1.1(3) no longer applies, and Specification 2.8 is applicable.
Specification 2.8 also requires two shutdown cooling loops to be operable if there is less than 23 feet of water above the top of the core.The restrictions on availability of the containment spray pumps for shutdown cooling service ensure that the SI/CS pumps' suction header piping is not subjected to an unanalyzed condition in this mode. Analysis has determined that the minimum required RCS vent area is 47 in 2.This requirement may be met by removal of the pressurizer 2 manway which has a cross-sectional area greater than 47 in2.When reactor coolant boron concentration is being changed, the process must be uniform throughout the reactor coolant system volume to prevent stratification of reactor coolant at lower boron concentration which could result in a reactivity insertion.
Sufficient mixing of the reactor coolant is assured if one low pressure safety injection pump or one reactor coolant pump is in operation.
The low pressure safety injection pump will circulate the reactor coolant system volume in less than 35 minutes when operated at rated capacity.
The pressurizer volume is relatively inactive; therefore, it will tend to have a boron concentration higher than the rest of the reactor coolant system during a dilution operation.
Administrative procedures will provide for use of pressurizer sprays to maintain a nominal spread between the boron concentration in the pressurizer and the reactor coolant system during the addition of boron.0 1)Both steam generators are required to be filled above the low steam generator water level trip set point whenever the temperature of the reactor coolant is greater than the docign temporaturo of the shutdown coln y tomt assure a redundant hoat Fremovalfor the reactor. 5,0 to assure a reactor heat removal system that is redundant kothe shutdown coolin svstem The basis for the LTOP system requirements are documented in the PTLR.2.1 -Page 5 Amendment No. 56, 71,136,161,1!88,-22 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) System at Fort Calhoun provides peak pressure protection for transients that may occur while the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature is at the LTOP enable temperature of 350'F, indicated.
These transients are bounded by mass injection events such as a spurious Safety Injection (SI)signal, and by heat addition events such as the startup of a Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP)while the Steam Generators (SGs) contain hot secondary fluid. In the first case, the added water pressurizes the RCS. In the second case, cool RCS fluid is introduced into the SGs causing the RCS fluid to expand, also pressurizing the RCS.LTOP protection is provided by one of two means depending on the transient.
For mass injection cases, the Pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) open relieving sufficient water flow to offset the injected fluid. The PORV control system compares the Pressurizer pressure to a function of pressure versus cold leg temperature.
If the Pressurizer pressure exceeds this pressure vs. temperature curve (termed the LTOP curve), the PORVs open. (Note: the mass addition cases conservatively also include a loss of shutdown cooling, so that heat is also added from the RCPs, the core decay heat, and the Pressurizer heaters. Thus the mass addition case also bounds all anticipated spurious heat addition sources that might occur simultaneous to mass injection.)
The limiting heat addition case involves the startup of a RCP. The mitigation of the heat addition transient is by a Technical Specification (TS) requirement for a minimum steam void in the Pressurizer prior to RCP start. The steam void maintains pressure as it collapses, since the steam is at saturated conditions and sees only a modest temperature rise as it is condensed.
The time required for the void collapse allows the RCS to heat up and equilibrate with the secondary fluid temperature.
Once this occurs, the transient has been effectively mitigated, although there is still a small net heat input due to the methodology's conservative assumptions.
Specifically, it is assumed that shutdown cooling is not available while heat is added from the RCP, a high assumed decay heat, and a failed Pressurizer heater control system.The Reference 1 report analyzes the transient scenarios just described for the Fort Calhoun Power Plant with Replacement Steam Generators and Replacement Pressurizer.
Additionally, the model core decay heat was increased above current nominal to accommodate a potential future uprate. Use of this higher decay heat is conservative for the current plant licensed power. Reference 1, however, assumed that the highest temperature for initiating shutdown cooling (SDC) was 300'F indicated RCS temperature, and Fort Calhoun is seeking a plant change to allow SDC at 350'F indicated RCS temperature.
The higher temperature means that heat addition cases will see greater energy flow into the RCS, and that the previous maximum-RCS-temperature mass OPPDO24-REPT-001 4 5/2007 addition Case 9 will no longer meet the highest possible RCS LTOP temperature transient.
The purpose of this report is to demonstrate that with the existing LTOP curve, the TS Pressure/Temperature limits (termed the P/T curve) is not exceeded by any of the LTOP transients impacted by the higher SDC system initiation temperature.
Thus of the Reference I transients, all the heat addition cases and the one mass addition Case 9 are re-analyzed.
This report also justifies that the control logic setpoints for the LTOP system, and the TS requirements for Pressurizer voids at the time of the first potential RCP start, High Pressure Safety Injection pump and Coolant Charging Pump (HPSI and CCP) limitations, shutdown cooling, and RCP operation requirements, remain appropriate for the proposed plant modifications.
II. OVERVIEW A conservative RELAP5 Mod 3.2d model was developed for LTOP system adequacy demonstration in Reference
: 1. The conservatisms in this model are significant and provide comfortable assurance of the quality of the conclusions.
In this report, the model is updated to reflect the proposed plant operation change.The only mass addition transient from Reference 1 that is re-analyzed here is Case 9, which is the mass addition case when first aligned to shutdown cooling. In Reference 1 this case was run assuming that the RCS was at 314'F (300'F nominal plus 14'F uncertainty in indicated temperature).
In this report, Case 9 is run assuming that the RCS is at 364&deg;F (350'F nominal plus 14'F uncertainty).
The same heat addition transients that were evaluated in Reference 1 are re-analyzed for the modified plant. The results are more limiting, since the initial RCS-SG temperature differential is increased, and therefore more heat is added into the RCS. Even so, with an assumed Pressurizer steam void of 40% actual (at least 50% indicated), all cases demonstrate that a sizable steam void remains in the Pressurizer after ten minutes, and that the event at this time is limited to normal heat sources (decay heat, Pressurizer heaters, and RCP heat). Steady state is not quite achieved because the conservative methodology specifies a net heat input due to a hypothesized loss of shutdown cooling. In all heat addition cases, it is expected that no PORV will open; however, one case is also provided that intentionally opens a PORV to demonstrate that the PORV capacity is sufficient to offset the transient.
Note, though, that plant procedures, as discussed in Section IX, should prevent any PORV opening during actual RCP starts.The LTOP setpoint curve from Reference 13 is given in Table 1. (Note: Reference 13 presents this data in graphic form, but the spreadsheet used to draw the Reference 13 curve was located and is reproduced in Table 1 with the only modification being that the temperatures are rounded off to the nearest degree. Maximum round off was 0.02'F.)OPPDO24-REPT-001 5 5/2007 Figure 1 presents the P/T limits and LTOP setpoint curve. Table 2 contains other operational restrictions assumed in the analysis that are implemented at Fort Calhoun.Table 1: LTOP Setpoint Curve from TDB III.7.a (Reference 13)RCS Indicated Temperature LTOP Setpoint Curve (OF) TDB 111.7.a (psia)64 379.5 170 379.5 180 409.25 200 494.5 220 587.75 240 684.5 260 837 280 1017 300 1210.75 320 1410.75 340 1621.8 350 1729.8 Table 2.

ANALYSIS CRITERIA The purpose of the LTOP system is to limit pressure transients to below the pressure-temperature limits (P/T curve) in order to protect RCS integrity from any risk associated with neutron embrittlement.
The P/T curves show the maximum pressure in the Pressurizer based on the temperature at the cold legs. Figure 1 above shows the P/T curve and Table 6 contains the data that was used to draw this figure. The source of this data is originally EA-FC-01-022 (Reference 10), but it is also seen graphically in EA-FC-02-025 (Reference
: 11) and the Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR) in TDB-IX (Reference 12). The exact numbers in Table 6 were taken from the Excel spreadsheet that produced the curve in TDB-III.7.a (Reference 13).The horizontal axis of Figure 1 is labeled "Indicated T", meaning that the RCS pressure should never exceed the given value at the indicated temperature.
The curve has been shifted 14 degrees to the right from the actual P/T limit based on embrittlement concerns to account for uncertainty errors in indicated RCS temperature.
For example, if the embrittlement concern arises if the pressure reaches 1600 psia while the RCS is at 286TF, the P/T limit curve is conservatively set to 1600 psia at 300'F. So long as the indicated temperature is at least 300TF, the operators are assured that the real temperature is greater than 286TF, and therefore acceptable.
By the same method, the P/T limit at an indicated 286TF is reduced to 1450 psia.The setpoint curve is also based on indicated temperature.
That is, when the indicated temperature is 300TF, a PORV-open signal is generated when indicated pressure reaches 1200 psia. However, this involves errors in both the P and T instrumentation.
The actual conditions might be 286TF and 1250 psia. To address this, the analysis uses an analysis LTOP setpoint curve that is shifted to the left and upwards.Note that using the analysis LTOP setpoint curve and the conservative P/T limit is double counting the instrument error. For example, if the temperature is actually 286TF yet indicated 300TF, one conservatism comes from assuming that the PORV open signal is the pressure value associated with 300TF, and the second count would be assuming the conservative pressure limit associated with 286TF that is in fact shifted over from 272TF.This confusion is dealt with in the analysis by assuming all pressures and temperatures are correct without error. Thus the analysis P/T limit is based on the actual embrittlement limits (in the above example, 286TF and 1600 psia). All uncertainty is added to the analysis LTOP setpoint curve, which is shifted to the left and up as described in Section IX of Reference
: 1. This assures that when the real temperature and pressure meet the conditions described by the analysis LTOP curve, the PORV open signal will be generated, and the pressure will be kept below the real P/T limit. Figure 2 attempts to show this conceptually.
Note also that while the RCS indicated temperature uncertainty is 14'F, the PORV actuation temperature uncertainty is 16.3&deg;F. This larger uncertainty was accounted for when developing the LTOP setpoints for use in the plant instrumentation.

The PORV open signal is generated at a conservative offset of AT and AP, but the criteria are based on the real P/T limitations rather than the conservative P/T curve of technical specifications.
The pressure axis in Figure 1 is the Pressurizer pressure.
The curve has been shifted downward from the calculated Reactor Vessel beltline limiting pressure to account for the fact that the beltline pressure will be higher than the Pressurizer pressure due to elevation and flow effects. The Pressure Correction Factor (PCF) shift in the LTOP enable temperature range is 61 psi below 210 0 F, and 67 psi above 210&deg;F (these temperatures are the real values and not the indicated temperature; the values change at 2100 because below this value only 2 RCPs are assumed to be running, and above this value 3 RCPs are assumed).
The PCFs are conservative because: " The PCFs include the pressure drop from the inlet nozzle and downcomer, yet these do not contribute to the pressure difference from the beltline to the Pressurizer." They are conservative for heat addition events, since only one RCP is running at that time." They are based on cold water density, but many transients involve warmer temperatures.
OPPDO24-REPT-00 I 9 5/2007 The PCFs were originally developed by Combustion Engineering, which has since become part of Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC). They have been verified to remain conservative for the new Steam Generators and Pressurizer in Framatome ANP document 32-5038452-01, 8/17/04 (Reference 8). They can also be seen on page 33 of Reference 10.The RELAP program produces the actual Reactor Vessel peak pressures; however, to be conservative and to be consistent with the PTLR, the RELAP peak Pressurizer pressure is compared to the P/T curve. (Reference 1 results show that if the RELAP peak Reactor Vessel pressure is compared to the P/T limit for beltline pressure, an additional margin of about 30 psi results for most transients.)
Figure 3 compares the analysis LTOP curve (conservatively higher than the plant LTOP curve) and the analysis P/T limits (offset by 14'F to the left based on the assumption of the real RCS temperature) to the curves of Figure 1. Note that since this calculation involves RCS temperatures as high as 364&deg;F (350'F indicated plus 14'F uncertainty), the P/T curve is extrapolated out to 364&deg;F in a conservative horizontal extension.
In point of fact, the extension does not matter since the P/T curve in this region is higher than the more restrictive operating pressure limit of 2750 psia described in USAR accident analyses (Reference 9).The LTOP curve is also extended in a horizontal line at 1809.1 psia as is seen in Table 6.This is justified because the highest possible LTOP setting will be 1729.8 psia indicated per Table 1, and therefore the highest possible actual pressure to lift the PORV will be 1729.8 psia plus 66.7 psi uncertainty, or 1796.5 psia. Use of the value of 1809.1 psia therefore adds additional conservatism. (The historic reason for 1809.1 is that it was based on the LTOP setpoint curve of Reference 1, whereas when actually assigning the LTOP setpoint in Reference 11, Fort Calhoun used values that were approximately 12 psi lower and more conservative.)

For comparison, the LTOP curve of Table 1 is repeated in the third and fourth columns. By comparing similar RCS temperature points, it is seen that the analytical curve assumes a much higher PORV open pressure at comparable temperatures.
This higher open pressure is conservative and is designed to account for a PORV actuation temperature error of 16.3&deg;F and a PORV actuation pressure error of 66.9 psi, as discussed in Reference 1.RCS Actual LTOP RCS LTOP Temperature analysis Indicated Setpoint (OF) curve actual Temperature Curve pressure (OF) TDB 111.7.a (psia) (psia)50 459 64 379.5 160 459 160 170 470 170 379.5 180 500 180 409.25 190 550 190 200 600 200 494.5 210 640 210 220 690 220 587.75 230 750 230 240 830 240 684.5 250 920 250 260 1010 260 837 270 1100 270 280 1200 280 1017 290 1300 290 300 1400 300 1210.75 310 1500 310 320 1608 320 1410.75 340 1809.1 340 1621.8 364 1809.1 350 1729.8 OPPDO24-REPT-001 17 5/2007 Table 8: RCP Homologous Curves, from Reference 1/Wy or y/a 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 HAN 1.826 1.644 1.524 1.417 1.321 1.374 1.323 1.259 1.187 1.085 1.0 HVN -1.42 -1.25 -1.09 -0.92 -0.73 -0.51 0.00 0.30 0.541 0.6887 1.0 BAN 1.417 1.262 1.156 1.041 1.0 0.961 0.965 0.980 1.00 1.002 1.0 BVN -1.45 -1.1 -0.85 -0.64 -0.43 -0.113 0.241 0.406 0.610 0.797 1.0 HAD 1.826 1.984 2.228 2.44 2.60 2.87 3.078 3.37 3.69 4.0 4.34 HVD 1.42 1.56 1.64 1.777 1.93 2.16 2.52 2.973 3.31 3.69 4.34 BAD 1.417 1.56 1.73 1.93 2.16 2.37 2.69 2.92 3.19 3.56 4.0 BVD 1.49 1.64 1.777 1.93 2.1 2.37 2.60 2.92 3.19 3.56 4.0 HAT 0.20 0.26 0.30 0.31 0.35 0.38 0.40 0.430 0.496 0.610 0.769 HVT 1.42 1.23 1.04 0.907 0.842 0.826 0.812 0.812 0.797 0.769 0.769 BAT -1.32 -0.89 -0.61 -0.40 -0.24 -0.118 0.0 0.12 0.251 0.391 0.503 BVT 1.49 1.42 1.35 1.23 1.13 1.02 0.916 0.826 0.718 0.620 0.503 HAR 0.20 0.12 0.0 -0.246 -0.513 -0.83 -1.035 -1.60 -2.05 -2.55 -3.10 HVR -1.42 -1.715 -1.96 -2.15 -2.34 -2.52 -2.69 -2.81 -2.93 -3.01 -3.10 BAR -1.32 -1.66 -1.91 -2.19 -2.49 -2.83 -3.24 -3.60 -4.05 -4.54 -5.03 BVR -1.45 -1.85 -2.20 -2.52 -2.85 -3.15 -3.49 -3.84 -4.23 -4.61 -5.03 Table 9: Interpretation of Homologous Curves.

Initial conditions are the most limiting allowed by Technical Specifications.
: 2. Only one (1) PORV is credited with opening.3. No credit is taken for letdown, RCS metal volume expansion, or RCS metal thermal inertia.4. Water-solid conditions in the PZR are assumed unless TSs exist to require a steam or other gas volume.5. Full PZR heater capacity must be assumed.6. Decay heat must be accounted for, with the maximum specified cooldown rate used to determine the time after shutdown. (Note: this analysis uses a conservatively minimal time to calculate decay heat, and then increases the value by 20% for all but Case 9, which uses a 5% margin. See decay heat discussion in Section VI.)7. PORV setpoint uncertainty must be treated consistent with RG 1.105 and ISA Standard S67.04-1994. (Note: in this case, the LTOP analysis is performed without uncertainty.
The resulting LTOP curve is protected by biasing the field setpoints to account for measurement uncertainty as described in Section IX.)8. The heat addition methodology to evaluate one (1) RCP starting with a hot Steam Generator must be evaluated on a submittal-specific basis.9. The mass-addition event is based on the maximum combined flow rate from HPSI pumps and charging pumps, where the flow rates are either the design flows plus 10% or flows based on IST with uncertainty or Safety Analysis limits.10. The peak pressure for these transients is described as being based on the larger of either the maximum pressurization rate times the time to open the PORV, or the pressure when the mass addition flow rate equals the PORV flow rate. (This is not a necessary statement with the use of RELAP, since RELAP will simulate the transient completely and provide the maximum pressure directly.)
: 11. PORV discharge curves must be provided using appropriate correlations, applying a conservative back pressure, considering flow reduction due to flashing, relating the valve flow rate with either valve inlet pressure or Pressurizer pressure, covering the full range of expected pressures, accounting for the inlet piping pressure drop, and cover pressures regardless of setpoint. (ENERCON utilizes the RELAP5 code to calculate the PORV flow rates based on orifice area, upstream conditions, and a conservative backpressure based on the Quench Tank Safety Valve setpoint plus 5 psi to account for line losses. See Section VI for discussion.)
OPPDO24-REPT-001 19 5/2007
: 12. There is also a reference made to the Safety Injection Tank (SIT), but this is not applicable to Fort Calhoun since SITs are pressurized to less than the lowest PORV setpoint or valved out.VI. ANALYSIS DISCUSSIONS This section will present all assumptions and conservatisms.
In addition, discussion is provided for various aspects of the transients and how they have been conservatively addressed.
ASSUMPTIONS/CONSERVATISMS
: 1. The P/T limit curve is based on conservative PCFs that protect the maximum beltline pressure.
This analysis compares the resulting Pressurizer pressure to the P/T limit. This is a conservatism, because the RELAP delta-P between the Pressurizer and Reactor Vessel is much less than the PCF. The difference is typically around 30 psi.2. The RELAP-based LTOP model uses, for Pressurizer pressure, the pressure at the midpoint of the top element in the pressurizer (typically the pressure at 2.03 ft below the top of the Pressurizer), which is generally within 1 psi of the lowest pressure existing in the Pressurizer.
: 3. The RELAP-based LTOP model uses, for RCS temperature, the cold leg segment directly downstream of the Steam Generator, to select an analytical PORV opening pressure from the first two colunms of Table 7. This is the warmest location in the cold leg. The use of minimum Pressurizer pressure and maximum RCS temperature maximizes the PORV setpoint as read off the pressure vs. temperature LTOP curve.4. The Fort Calhoun PORV is fully opened after 1.5 seconds after an open signal is generated.
The RELAP code models the PORVs as starting to open after 1.5 seconds, and ramping to full open in an additional 0.5s. This avoids the need to model accurate flow characteristics while the valve is stroking open (expected to occur between 0.9s and 1.5s after signal generation).
The ramp rate is used to avoid pressure oscillations that result when the PORV is modeled as opening instantaneously.
: 5. All the identified conservative assumptions from the NRC Safety Evaluation (Reference
: 4) were applied. These are: a. Initial conditions are the most limiting allowed by TSs.b. Only one (1) PORV is credited for relief.c. No credit is taken for letdown, RCS volume expansion, or RCS metal thermal inertia.d. Water-solid conditions in the PZR are assumed for mass injection events (the heat addition events, a RCP start, have an associated TS requiring a minimum steam volume).e. Full PZR heater capacity is assumed (backup and proportional).
: f. Decay heat is accounted for.g. PORV setpoint uncertainty is addressed.
OPPDO24-REPT-001 20 5/2007
: h. Mass injection flow rates are conservatively bounded based on the combined flow from all available CCPs and HPSIs. The 1 HPSI cases use a 10% greater than design pump curve. The 2 HPSI cases use twice this flow rate.7. The decay heat was particularly conservative, since a bounding value was used based on 20% greater than the value that would exist at the fastest possible cooldown to 314'F RCS temperature.
This value was applied to all transients, even those initiated at 50 0 F. Note that one transient, Case 9, was run with an RCS temperature of 364'F. The decay heat is not as conservative for that case, but it still retains 5% conservatism.
Case 9 has a very large margin to the P/T limit compared to other mass addition cases, so it is not as critical to model this case with as much conservatism.
: 8. The model requires certain operational restrictions identified in Table 2. Only 3 RCPs are assumed to operate while the LTOP system is enabled. Only 2 RCPs are assumed to be operating below 21 0&deg;F actual temperature based on the Reference 8 PCFs (however, it is conservative for this analysis to assume that 3 RCPs are on, to maximize reactor vessel beltline pressure, so all mass addition cases assume 3 RCPS regardless of the initial temperature).
Only 2 HPSI pumps are modeled as capable of operating once the LTOP system is enabled, and only 1 HPSI pump modeled below 320'F indicated RCS temperature, and no HPSI pumps are modeled below 270'F indicated.
Shutdown cooling is not initiated until 350'F indicated.
A minimum actual Pressurizer steam void of 40% is required prior to the start of the first RCP (indicated void must be 40% plus level uncertainty).
The RCPs should only be started at pressures at least 61 psi below the LTOP setpoint in order to assure that the subsequent pressure rise will not cause a PORV lift.9. The PORV flow rate was based on default RELAP flow equations.
This is a best estimate flow, rather than a conservative flow, but it is not important to the final conclusions.
The reason is that in all scenarios, at the moment that the PORV opens, the flow rate is well above that required to reduce the peak pressure (the pressure trace shows an immediate fall in pressure).
Hence even large errors in the PORV flow rate would not change the peak pressure.10. The PORV flow rate was based on a reduced area. Instead of the 0.94 inch 2 listed in Table 3, 0.77 inch 2 was used. This was done based on sensitivity runs that showed this area generated the rated flow of 110,220 ibm/hr at the rated pressure of 2385 psia. In addition, the PORV flow rates were made more conservative for non-choking cases by assuming a conservatively high backpressure equal to the quench tank relief valve setpoint plus 5 psi. This is especially conservative given that the initial PORV flow rate is the one that determines the peak pressure, and during the initial PORV operation the quench tank is not pressurized.
: 11. The RCS pressure drop loss coefficients were developed using design basis documents, and then a larger pressure drop across the Reactor Vessel outlet nozzles was added for additional conservatism.
This increased pressure drop is greater than the CESEC (Reference
: 2) and MVCDL (Reference
: 6) models, but is consistent with a parallel RELAP model discussed in Reference
: 3. The RCPs' head was conservatively increased to generate the same design flow rate with this additional head loss.OPPDO24-REPT-001 21 5/2007
: 12. For the start of a RCP, the conservative assumption was that the speed of the pump goes from 0 to full in I second (instead of the typical 30 seconds or so). The flow rate than increases according to pump homologous curves.13. The volumes used in the RCS model were conservatively applied. Notably, a minimum volume primary side for the SGs was applied when conservative for mass injection cases, and a maximum volume primary side was applied when conservative for heat addition.
The minimum volume was based on the design limit of 10% SG tube plugging, and the maximum volume was based on the unplugged SG volume.14. The surface area of SGs was modeled as the area associated with zero tube plugging for the heat addition case. For the mass addition case, heat loss to the secondary side was conservatively neglected.
: 15. Mass addition cases include no credit for a steam volume that may exist in the Pressurizer.
This is more realistic than conservative in that sensitivity runs show that the steam volume did not provide a benefit. The transient was delayed as the steam volume decreased to zero, and then continued as if the steam bubble had not been there.16. Heat addition cases were run with extreme primary to secondary temperature differences that are not considered credible (the limiting case was a 314'F difference).
This was done to avoid any operational restrictions based on primary to secondary temperature differences.
: 17. Heat addition cases were run with the conservative assumption of isothermal conditions in the SG secondary side. In reality, stratification on the SG shell side would cause only a portion of the SG water heat to be transmitted to the RCS.18. Heat addition cases were run with conservative SG water masses. Although the majority of the secondary side of the SG will be steam, the model assumes the entire secondary side of the steam generator (4722 ft 3 as stated in Reference
: 1) is filled with hot water. Since such a large SG water mass is assumed, the heat energy stored in the SG metal mass other than the tube metal, that is, the exterior surface of the SG and non-modeled SG internals, is neglected for simplicity.
: 19. The safety injection water was conservatively treated. The density assumed is based on water that is just above freezing at 90 psia, but the enthalpy is based on 250'F water at 90 psia per Reference
: 2. This maximizes the energy and mass added to the RCS bounding all possible SI water conditions.
MODELING DISCUSSIONS The Shutdown Cooling System, Decay Heat and Pressurizer Heaters The NRC identified that the decay heat should be added to the analysis as an additional conservatism.
The decay heat for all but the highest temperature scenarios is conservatively bounded by 25.7 MWt (for both cooldown and heat up) as described in Table 3 of Reference
: 1. This is conservatively 20% greater than the 1.4% value shown in CESEC (Reference 2), p. 28, for the most conservative model at 7,848 seconds after shutdown (.014*1530=21.4 MWt, 21.4*1.2=25.7 MW). The cooldown time is based on a cooldown from 532 'F at 100&deg;F/hr, e.g., (532-314)/100
= 2.18 hours = 7848 seconds. The OPPDO24-REPT-001 22 5/2007 maximum assumed initial RCS temperature for all cases except Case 9 is less than 314'F so this is bounding.
For example, a cooldown to 200TF would take 11,952 seconds.Case 9 is not a limiting case, so less conservatism in the decay heat is acceptable, but analysis shows that the 25.7 MW value is conservative for Case 9 as well. Cooldown to 364 0 F would require (532-364)/100
= 1.68 hours = 6048 seconds. Page 28 of Reference 2 shows that the worst case decay heat model gives a power fraction of 1.6% at this time.That would be a decay heat of .016*1530MW
= 24.5 MW, which is 5% below the value of 25.7 MW. Therefore, the use of 25.7 MW of decay heat is acceptable for all transients.
In order to envelope a potential future uprate from 1500 MWt to 1765 MWt core power, the decay heat of 25.7 was multiplied by the ratio 1765/1500 and rounded up to 30.3 MWt. This preserves all the conservatism discussed in the paragraph above.The Pressurizer heat of 0.9 MW is added to the Pressurizer continuously after the event initiates to conservatively model the Pressurizer heaters as failed on full power.PORV Flow Rate The flow rate through the PORV is conservatively assumed to be zero until the time at which the PORV is fully opened per plant data (1.5 seconds after signal generation).
Then the valve is modeled as though linearly ramped open from zero flow area to full flow area in 0.5 seconds. This additional time to ramp open the valve avoids a sudden pressure wave that results when the valve opening is modeled as instantaneous.
Since the flow predicted during the ramping period is less than the full flow rate, this approach is conservative.
RELAP contains its own flow equations for flashing flow through a valve based on the flow data of Table 3. The flow equations are explained in the RELAP manual (Reference 5), Volume IV, Section 7.2. In general, the RELAP flow rates are more accurate but less conservative than typical relief valve sizing equations.
A sensitivity analysis was run (mporv.txt) to discover that a flow area of 0.77 inch 2 (0.00535 ft 2) provides the flow rate of 110,220 ibm/hr at 2385 psia. This is slightly smaller than the Table 3 value of 0.94 inch 2.This area of 0.00535 ft 2 is used in the analysis.The exact flow rate through the PORV is not critical to the analysis if the flow is sufficient to halt the pressure rise. That is, if as soon as the PORV is full open, the flow out of the PORV is greater than the RCS volumetric increase (due either to mass addition or heat expansion), then the pressure will fall. Small errors in the PORV flow rate will affect the rate of depressurization, but not the peak pressure.
This analysis is only concerned with peak pressure.For transients where the pressure is not immediately relieved at PORV lift, the RCS pressure will continue to rise until an equilibrium condition exists. Should this scenario occur, the accuracy of the PORV equation is important to the peak pressure.Conservatism is assured in this analysis by the use of a high backpressure of 90 psia as described in Table 3. As demonstrated in the Results section, all PORV lifts immediately OPPDO24-REPT-001 23 5/2007 reduce the transient pressure; hence modest changes in the PORV flow rates would not affect the peak pressures.
Reactor Coolant Pumps Having RCPs running is conservative for the mass addition cases because they increase the pressure difference from the base of the Reactor Vessel to the top of the Pressurizer where the LTOP system gets its pressure input.The RCP homologous curves are taken from CESEC (Reference 2), pp. 544 through 546.Homologous data is dimensionless pump data developed through the normalization of pump head, flow, torque and speed data by the pump rated head, flow, torque and speed.The normalized variables are flow ratio y = Q/QR, speed ratio c = N/NR, head ratio ri =H/HR, and torque ratio P3 =T/TR. These are mapped over four quadrants, where the normal quadrant is when the pump drives the flow (y & ct >0 ); dissipation is when the flow is going backwards against the spinning pump (y<O; ci >0 ); turbine is when a reverse flow spins a pump backwards (y & a <0 ); and reverse is reverse spinning of the pump against a forward flow rate (y>O; cx <0 ). In point of fact, Fort Calhoun has an anti-reverse rotation lock (Reference 7, Section 2.2.3, pg. 3 of 10) and, in these scenarios, the flow never opposes a running pump, so only the normal quadrant applies to this analysis.Nevertheless, all four quadrants were entered into RELAP. The data is presented in Tables 9 and 10. Note: here the four quadrants are further divided into 8 regimes depending on whether the flow ratio or speed ratio is numerically larger. HAN is head H over speed ca ratio in the Normal quadrant; BVR is torque ratio P over flow ratio y in the Reverse quadrant; and so on. A negative HAN value indicates that the pump is spinning so slowly relative to flow that there is actually a head loss through the pump.Pump rated head and rated flow were taken as the design values for the RCPs, which corresponds to the maximum efficiency of the RCP. An additional 10% was added to the rated flow (and head) values in order to provide an additional conservative margin to the modeling of RCS flow. The addition of this margin would tend to increase the pressurization rate during the heat addition transient.
However, it was determined through sensitivity studies that minor changes in RCS flow rate have negligible effect upon the results of the heat addition analysis.For pump start up, the pump speed ramp rate is conservatively bounded by a zero-to-full speed acceleration in just I second (typical times are on the order of 30 seconds).
This manual acceleration means that the pump inertia entered in the RELAP deck is arbitrary.
Although the pump reaches full rpm speed in 1 second, the system's inertia will make the RCS flow rate take an additional time period. This is conservative due to the 10% higher head and fast rpm acceleration.
Since the pump model imposes a linear acceleration from zero to full rpm in 1 second, all the model inputs for pump rpm, rotational inertia, and torque are not used, and the data supplied to the model is arbitrary.
That is, the model requires inputs for pump rpm, torque and moment of inertia, but the values are not used and are not based on Fort Calhoun RCPs.OPPDO24-REPT-001 24 5/2007 As noted above, Fort Calhoun RCPs have anti-reverse-rotation devices, so all the secured RCPs (which will all have reverse flow) are modeled with a loss coefficient.
The heat input from each pump is modeled with a 1.4 MWt heat slab that is on whenever the pump is running.Flow Resistances and further RCP Conservatism Attachment 2 of Reference 1 presented the development of flow resistances based primarily on CESEC (Reference
: 2) and MVCDL (Reference
: 6) pressure drops.Benchmarking indicated good agreement between the RELAP model and these sources;however, an additional independent RELAP model described in Reference 1 predicted a larger pressure drop across the hot leg nozzle. It was conservative to model this larger pressure drop, because it increases the beltline pressure in the reactor vessel relative to the Pressurizer pressure.
Therefore the reactor vessel hot leg nozzle resistance was made greater to match the referenced pressure drop.When the higher flow losses were included in this LTOP model, the calculated flow rate was less than the 198,000 gpm flow desired. It was necessary to increase the rated RCP head again (from 273.02 to 290.0 ft) to generate a benchmark full flow case MFULFLO.TXT at 198,000 gpm. (Note: the value of 198,000 gpm is based on enveloping the MVCDL (Reference
: 6) item 11 g flow rate of 196,000 gpm, and is slightly different from the model of reference 2 which used 198,584 gpm.) At that point, the Reference 1 model was judged to be in sufficient agreement with other Fort Calhoun flow models.Mass Addition Cases -Initial Pressure Exploratory runs demonstrate that the initial pressure does not have a significant impact on the peak pressure of a mass addition transient so long as the Pressurizer is water-solid at the time of PORV lift. This is because the mass addition inlet flow rate is a function of RCS pressure (or a constant if just the CCPs) and is not a function of time. Whether the system is initially just below the PORV setpoint pressure, or whether the system ramps up to the PORV setpoint from some lower initial value, does not affect the pressure rise rate during the period between reaching the PORV setpoint and the 1.5 second delay time of the PORV opening.Mass Addition Cases -Initial Pressurizer Bubble Exploratory runs demonstrate that it is difficult to credit a steam bubble in the Pressurizer with assisting mass addition event mitigation.
The RELAP model shows that when a bubble is present, the pressure starts to rise immediately following the start of mass injection.
However, when the pressure rises sufficiently, the Pressurizer bubble collapses at a rate that offsets the mass addition, and pressure is constant.
Pressure does not continue to rise until after the bubble is completely gone. Hence if the initial pressure is sufficiently below the PORV lift pressure, the bubble vanishes and the peak pressure is the same as if the initial condition was water solid.OPPDO24-REPT-001 25 5/2007 This phenomenon is particularly true for LTOP events because of the low density of the steam in the Pressurizer (relative to the steam density at 2100 psia). This low mass bubble is easier to condense than when the plant is operating at power. The condition of a water-solid lift is also specified in the NRC SER (Reference 4).Mass Addition Events -SI Injection Temperature It is difficult to identify the worst case temperature for SI injection.
The volumetric flow rate is constant, which means the mass flow rate is greater for colder temperatures.
However, the injection water enthalpy is greater for higher temperatures.
In order to assure a conservative choice, the model uses a mass flow rate appropriate to water that is just a few degrees above freezing (62.42 lbm/ft 3 based on 32.02'F, 90 psia water), and an enthalpy associated with 250 0 F, 90 psia water (Reference 2). This is done by using the greater density when calculating the mass injection flow rate in lbm/s, but specifying 250'F, 90 psia water in the RELAP components for SI injection.
Heat Addition Events -- Effect of Temperature Rise on PORV Opening Setpoint The effect of temperature rise during heat addition events can have a critical impact on the LTOP curve requirements if the PORV is relied upon for transient mitigation.
The effect can best be explained by reviewing a typical heat addition analysis scenario, Case hp509s36.
In this scenario, the initial conditions are a Reactor Vessel at 50 0 F, a Steam Generator at 364&deg;F, and no RCS flow. The P/T limit at 50'F is 498 psia. A RCP is suddenly started, causing an extreme reverse heat transfer.
The RCS rapidly heats up to over 200'F by just 40 seconds. Since the LTOP system sets the PORV lift setpoint as a function of RCS temperature, the PORV will not lift until the setpoint associated with 200'F. Meanwhile, the Reactor Vessel temperature at 1/4 th thickness (the depth of a hypothesized crack) will still be close to 50'F. This means, in effect, if pressure rises to the LTOP setpoint for this scenario, the LTOP setpoint at 200 0 F, which is seen to be 600 psia in Table 7 (accounting for uncertainties), will be insufficient to protect against the 50TF P/T limit of 498 psia in Table 6.The situation can be made even worse by selection of a "worst size bubble." A larger bubble will slow down the transient.
Due to very conservative assumptions about decay heat, the RCS warms up rapidly while the bubble is collapsing.
It is possible to postulate a bubble size for the above scenario that does not collapse until the RCS reaches 300TF.In order to avoid a significant restriction on the LTOP curve, the heat addition transients must be mitigated before the Pressurizer steam void is lost. This keeps the RCS pressure very close to the initial pressure, and does not stress the reactor vessel. This is done by requiring a large void prior to the first RCP start via a TS requirement, and determining that the void will not entirely collapse by the time that the Steam Generator and RCS temperatures equilibrate.
After equilibration, the transient is effectively mitigated, with very little pressure rise.Heat Addition Cases -Initial Conditions Heat addition cases are primarily associated with cooldown transients.
A conservative bounding assumption is that once the plant is placed on shutdown cooling, the Steam OPPDO24-REPT-001 26 5/2007 Generators maintain the previous temperature (364 0 F) while the Reactor Vessel, Hot Leg, and Cold Leg are cooled. Should a RCP suddenly start up, the hot Steam Generator serves as a heat source and rapidly expands the RCS water as specific volume increases.
In accordance with NRC guidance, the pump heat, Pressurizer heaters, and decay heat are all additional heat sources. In this model, the secondary side is conservatively modeled as isothernal water filling the full volume of the Steam Generator to maximize the latent heat delivered to the RCS.Setpoint Curve Shape There are distinct temperatures where the mass addition case can suddenly become more limiting due to additional mass injection.
Specifically, at 255 0 F actual RCS T, the injected flow rate increases from that associated with 3 CCPs to that associated with 3 CCPs and 1 HPSI. At 305 0 F, the flow rate again increases, this time to that associated with 3 CCPs and 2 HPSIs. A jagged LTOP curve could have been used in response to these sudden jumps in mass addition, but it would have made the circuitry function more max complicated.
Instead, the LTOP setpoint curve p was developed as a conservatively lower smooth curve. The curve at right shows conceptually the I I"tightest" LTOP setpoint curve allowed by 166 255: .305 analysis compared to the lower smooth curve used. Since the margin is smallest between the curves at 166 0 F, 255 0 F, and 305 0 F, these will be critical temperatures at which to simulate mass addition events.VII. CASE RUN MATRIX For all cases A bounding decay heat of 30.3 MWt is used per Table 3 (no credit is taken for the SDC system). This is especially conservative for heat up cases, but it allows the below scenarios to bound both heat up and cooldown.
The Pressurizer heaters are assumed on (0.9 MWt to Pressurizer water). Each running RCP contributes a heat input of 1.4 MWt.The initial pressure is assigned to all components.
During the first 2 seconds of analysis, the Pressurizer pressure decreases and the Reactor Vessel pressure increases to a new steady state based on elevation changes and RCP flow. Hence the transients typically start with a Pressurizer pressure that is a few psi below the tabular value.For all Mass Addition Cases (1 through 9)SI flow and charging flow are conservatively assumed to be at 250TF, yet the mass flow rate in lbm/s is that associated with 32.02TF water. This conservatively bounds any injection temperature and avoids the need to run repeated cases at different injection temperatures to find a worst-case combination of energy and density. Three RCPs are assumed to be running to maximize the pressure differential from the Reactor Vessel bottom and the Pressurizer (where the LTOP pressure input is located).
Since 3 RCPs are running and the unit is at zero power, the Steam Generators would be at the same temperature as the RCS. Modeling the SG secondary side would tend to reduce any OPPDO24-REPT-001 27 5/2007 temperature increase associated with decay heat or warm SI injection, therefore the SG tubes are conservatively modeled as insulated, i.e., there is no model of the secondary side water. The minimum SG volume is used to maximize the mass addition rate as a percentage of total RCS volume. No credit is taken for Pressurizer bubbles, because sensitivity analyses show that the bubbles collapse before the pressure rises to the PORV setpoint.
Other assumptions are as in Section VI., including no credit for RCS expansion, letdown, or heat absorption in metal.A full deck for Case 9 is included in Attachment 2.For all Heat Addition Cases (10 through 14)The heat addition cases include the secondary side of the Steam Generator and the SG tubes. This involves more cards to be added to each input deck.A full deck for Case 10 is included in Attachment 2.Table 10: Case Run Matrix. Cases 1 through 8 are not changed from Reference 1, and are therefore not re-run as part of this effort.Case, File Tinitial Pinitial SI Flow RCPs SG T Pressurizer SG actual actual (&deg;F) Bubble Volume (OF) (psia)1 M80BASR 80 200 132 gpm 3 0 Min 2 M50P2R 50 200 132 gpm 3 0 Min 3 M50P4R 50 400 132 gpm 3 0 Min 4 M50BR 50 200 132 gpm 3 6% Min 5 M166P2R 166 200 132 gpm 3 0 Min 6 M210P2R 210 200 132 gpm 3 0 Min 7 M255P2R 255 200 132 gpm 3 0 Min+1 HPSI 8 M305P2R 305 200 132 gpm 3 0 Min+2 HPSI 9 M364P2R 364 200 132 gpn 3 0 Min+ 2 HPSI 10 HP509S36 50 170 0 1 starts 364 40% Max 11 HP503S36 50 390 0 1 starts 364 40% Max 11 a HP535S36*

RESULTS Since Reference 1 provided a detailed description of each case, and this report only adjusts the model without substantially altering the outcome, the results are summarized briefly. The conclusions section discusses the impact of the new SG temperature relative to the Reference 1 results.Case 1: Mass addition, T, = 80'F, Pi = 200 psia (M80BASR.TXT of Reference 1)Case I of Reference I was a benchmarking case. It is not discussed here because it is not impacted by changes in the SG temperature, and Case 1 is not one of the limiting cases for LTOP setpoint development.
Case 2: Mass addition, Ti = 50&deg;F, Pi = 200 psia (M50P2R, Figure 5)This case differs from Case 1 in the use of stronger RCPs that resulted from a Reference 1 model modification to match other Fort Calhoun flow models. Case 2 also uses a lower temperature, which has a lower associated P/T limit of 498 psia making it more conservative.
Although it is not impacted by the change in Steam Generator temperature at LTOP initiation, it is summarized briefly here since it is one of the cases that determines that the setpoint curve of Table 1 and the flow capacity of a PORV are acceptable to mitigate LTOP transients.
The model predicts a peak Pressurizer pressure of 482.74 psia, which is below the P/T limit of 498 psia at the Pressurizer.
The peak mass flow rate out of the PORV is shown in the output file to be 50.14 lbm/s.At 50'F, the density of water is about 62.5 lbm/ft 3.Therefore the flow rate is: 50.14 lbm/s*1/62.5 lbm/ft 3*7.481gal/ft 3*60 s/min = 360 gpm This is well above the injection flow rate of 132 gpm. As noted in Reference 1, modest errors in PORV flow rate may affect the depressurization rate, but they have no impact on the peak pressure.
Note also that this flow is water rather than steam, so the mass flow rate in lbm/hr is greater than the reference steam mass flow rate of Assumption 10.Case 3: Mass addition, T_ = 50'F, Pi = 400 psia (M50P4R, Figure 6)This case differs from Case 2 in the initial pressure only. It was run to demonstrate that the peak pressure is independent of initial pressure.
The results verify this expectation.
The peak Pressurizer pressure is 482.09 psia (compared to Case 2 result of 482.74 psia).The difference in the peak pressure is insignificant.
It can be explained by the conservative analysis assumption of pressurizer heaters and decay heat providing energy to the RCS. The higher initial pressure results in a faster PORV lift, so there is less time for this energy addition in Case 3.Case 4: Mass addition, Ti = 50'F, Pi = 200 psia, 6% Steam Void (M50BR, Figure 7)This case differs from Case 2 in that a bubble exists at the start time. It was run to demonstrate that the pressure is near constant while any existing bubble collapses, and OPPDO24-REPT-001 29 5/2007 thereafter the pressure rise and peak pressure are nearly the same as the water solid case.A small bubble of 6% was specified simply to speed up the run. A larger bubble would have taken longer to collapse without changing the peak pressure significantly.
As in Reference 1, the results show that the Pressurizer pressure rises only modestly before the bubble collapse offsets the mass injection.
For the next few minutes, the pressure is constant while the bubble collapses.
When the bubble vanishes and the RCS goes water solid, the pressure rises at nearly the same linear rate as in Cases 2 and 3. The PORV opens at just about the identical pressure.
The peak pressure is 485.85 psia, which is not notably different from the Case 2 value of 482.74 or the Case 3 value of 482.09 psia.Case 5: Mass addition, Ti = 166&deg;F, P, = 200 psia (M166P2R.
Figure 8)This case differs from Case 2 in having a higher initial temperature.
The value of 166&deg;F is slightly more conservative than using the value of 164 0 F where the P/T limit starts to increase.
The peak Pressurizer pressure is compared to the P/T criteria of 525 psia, which is the high end of the flat portion of the P/T curve at 164TF.The results show a peak Pressurizer pressure of 507.96 psia. Compared to Case 2 (peak pressure of 482.74 psia), this is 25 psi higher for 116 0 F warmer conditions.
There are two reasons for this increase in overshoot.
The first is that the change in volume for each Btu of energy addition is faster for water at 166TF than it is at 50&deg;F. This is shown in Figure 4 at right, recognizing that the heat capacity, or dT/dh, is pretty close to constant over this temperature range. Thus the decay heat addition has a bigger impact for Case 5.Showing Greater Volume Change per Degree F as Temperature Rises 0 E M.:-"E 14.000 12.000 10.000 8.000 6.000 4.000 2.000 0.000 0 100 200 Temperature (F)300 400 Figure 4: dV/dT versus T The second is that as the transient continues, the RCS warms up just a little due to the assumed high decay heat. At the time of PORV lift, the RCS is at 167.2&deg;F. The LTOP curve at this temperature is 467 psia, rather than the 459 psia for Case 2. Therefore 8 psi of the 25 psi greater overshoot is due to the LTOP curve, and 17 psi of the increased overshoot is due to the dv/dT increase for warmer water.Case 6: Mass addition, Ti = 210&deg;F, Pi = 200 psia (M21OP2R, Figure 9)Cases 2 and 5 bound the temperature range of up to 255 0 F, the lowest temperature for which a HPSI pump may be enabled. At initial temperatures over 166&deg;F, the gap between the LTOP curve and the P-T curve increases monotonically.
The overshoot will be nearly identical because the heat and injection flow are independent of RCS pressure.
The small 17 psi increase in overshoot due to Case 5 being 11 6&deg;F warmer than Case 2 is OPPDO24-REPT-001 30 5/2007 insignificant compared to the growing margin between LTOP curve and P/T limit (at 160TF, the margin is 525-459 = 66 psi; at 250&deg;F the margin is 1172-920 = 252 psi).This Case 6 is run in the midpoint of the range 166 to 255&deg;F to verify this reasoning.
The result is a peak Pressurizer pressure of 690.91 psia while the P/T limit is 794 psia, so the margin is over 100 psi.Case 7: Mass addition, Ti = 255&deg;F, Pi = 200 psia (M255P2R, Figure 10)This case differs from Cases 2 through 5 in that, at this higher initial temperature, a HPSI pump may be enabled. At t=20 seconds, the 250&deg;F mass injection, decay heat, RCP heat, and Pressurizer heater heat begins. The injection flow rate is given by Table 4 and is initially about 413 gpm. The injection flow rate decreases as pressure rises to about 215 gpm at the PORV lift point.The peak pressure is 1067.1 psia, which is comfortably below the P/T limit for 255&deg;F of 1216 psia.This is the first case since Case 2 that the PORV flow rate is significantly different because this is the first case with a different driving pressure.
The computer output shows the peak PORV flow rate is 76.2 lbm/s. At 255 0 F, the density of water is 58.7 lbmi-ft 3.The volumetric flow rate is therefore:
76.2 lbm/s*1/58.7 lbmrft 3 B*7.481gal/ft 3*60 s/min = 582 gpm This is well above the injection flow rate of 215 gpm at this pressure.
As expected, modest errors in PORV flow rate may affect the depressurization rate, but they have no impact on the peak pressure.Higher temperature, 1 HPSI transients will be bounded by this transient.
At higher temperatures, the PORV setpoint might be higher, but so is the P/T limit. The margin between the LTOP curve and the P-T limit grows monotonically.
The overshoot will be less at higher temperatures because the associated higher pressures will result in less injection flow.Case 8: Mass addition, T, = 305TF, Pi = 200 psia (M305P2R, Figure 11)This case differs from Cases 2 through 6 in that, at this higher initial temperature, two HPSI pumps may be enabled. At t=20 seconds, the 250'F mass injection, decay heat, RCP heat, and Pressurizer heater heat begins.The peak pressure is 1522.9 psia, which is comfortably below the P/T limit for 305'F of 1892 psia. The margin is 1892-1522.9
= 359 psi.The PORV flow rate is larger than in Case 6 due to a greater driving pressure.
The computer output shows the peak PORV flow rate is 97.6 lbm/s. At 305TF, the density of water is 57.2 lbm/ft 3.The volumetric flow rate is therefore:
OPPDO24-REPT-001 31 5/2007 97.6 Ibm/s*1/57.2 lbnlrft 3*7.481gal/ft 3*60 s/min = 766 gpm This is well above that needed to offset the injection and decay heat. As noted, the injection flow rate is limited to the 132 gpmn CCPs since the pressure is greater than the HPSI pump shutoff.Case 9: Mass addition, Ti = 364&deg;F, Pi = 200 psia (M364P2R, Figure 12)Higher temperature, 2 HPSI transients will be bounded by Case 8. The gap between the LTOP curve and the P-T limit grows monotonically.
The overshoot will be less at higher temperatures because the associated higher pressures will result in less injection flow. To demonstrate this, Case 9 was run at 364 0 F, the highest possible RCS temperature based on initiating LTOP control at 350'F indicated, plus 14'F error in indicated temperature.
This case is the first to be changed from Reference 1 (Cases 1 through 8, although summarized here above, were not rerun because nothing had changed in their scenarios).
The first change relates to the LTOP curve. Previously, in Reference 1, no RCS temperature ever exceeded 314'F, so the curve stopped at shortly above that point. Now the curve is adjusted to match the final two rows of Table 7 (the horizontal extrapolation seen in Figure 3). The change is to the following two cards. (Note: making the final card 400'F instead of 364&deg;F just assures that the curve extends beyond any temperature that may result here; it has no impact on the PORV lift behavior up to 364&deg;F.)20220119 340.0 1809.1 20220120 400.0 1809.1 The second change is to make the initial temperature 364 0 F instead of 314'F in all the RCS and secondary side volumes. The following cards are therefore changed from the Reference 1 case 9.

This is based on the P/T curve value of 2918 psia at an indicated 354&deg;F (3407F actual after the worst case indication uncertainty of 14 0 F is applied).
Based on this consideration, the pressure margin is over 1000 psi. A lower limit is the 110% of design pressure, or 2750 psia per the USAR section 14.9 (Reference 9). There is still a 903 psia margin to this limit. This is a larger margin than Case 8, and verifies the expectation that Case 8 would be more limiting.Case 10: Heat addition, Ti = 50TF, T-SG = 364TF, Pi = 170 psia (HP509S36, Figure 13)In the heat addition cases, there is initially no RCP running. A brief initial period is allowed to reach a steady state as the elevation differences cause pressures to adjust. At 10 seconds, the single RCP is started. The pressure is 170 psia primary and secondary sides to provide subcooling margin (the saturation pressure at 364&deg;F is 161 psia).The cards changed from Reference 1 's Case 10 relate to the LTOP curve and the initial conditions.
The LTOP curve is changed only at the high temperatures to make sure it extends to 3647F as in case 9. Those changes are identical to Case 9: 20220119 340.0 1809.1 20220120 400.0 1809.1 The additional changes are to set the initial steam generator temperature to 364&deg;F instead of 314'F (this includes both primary side -volumes 220 and 320 -and secondary side -volumes 510 and 520 -and heat slabs card 12001401).
In order to prevent initial boiling inside the steam generator tubes, the RCS and Pressurizer pressure had to be increased to 170 psia. The changes are as follows:*initial conditions

The transients are nin out to 610 seconds, or ten minutes after the RCP is started.Case 10 is the most limiting heat addition case in terms of assuring a remaining steam bubble. This is the lowest credible temperature and pressure for a RCP start, coupled with the highest SG temperature and decay heat. With this high initial delta-T of 314'F, there is an initial energy input of 1100 MWs a few seconds after cold water starts to flow into the hot Steam Generator.
Note: Figure 13 shows just the energy from the Steam Generators; an additional heat of about 33 MWs comes from the conservative decay heat (30.3 MW), the pressurizer heaters (0.9 MW), and the RCP itself (1.4MW). The RCS rapidly heats up until at near 200 seconds the RCS and SG water have equilibrated.
Heat continues to be added due to the analysis conservatisms of no shut down cooling and loss of pressurizer heater control, but the heat addition rate is modest after this time.During the RCS temperature rise, the steam bubble is collapsing.
The bubble is initially 40% of 940 ft 3 , or 376 ft 3.After 610 seconds, the bubble has collapsed to 75 ft 3.The transient has been mitigated, but there is still an imbalance in the heat input due to the conservative methodology.
Therefore the bubble size is still slowly shrinking after the RCS and the SGs have equilibrated.
OPPDO24-REPT-001 34 5/2007 The pressure plot, as seen in Figure 13, is very stable for this transient.
When the RCP is started at 10 seconds, there is an initial Pressurizer pressure decrease due to a Bernoulli effect at the surgeline branch, i.e., the velocity causes the hotleg pressure to decrease sucking in water from the surgeline.
Pressure quickly rises as the heat from the SG causes the RCS to expand and flow into the Pressurizer, but after just a small pressure rise, the low-density bubble starts to collapse and maintains the pressure at a nearly constant value. The peak pressure is 189 psia, so pressure only rises 19 psi above the initial value.Case 11: Heat addition, T, = 50'F, T-SG = 364&deg;F, Pi = 390 psia (HP503S36, Figure 14)This case differs from Case 10 only in the initial pressure.

The RCS rapidly heats up and the energy input falls quickly.OPPDO24-REPT-001 35 5/2007 During the RCS temperature rise, the steam bubble is collapsing (see Figure 16), but it collapses slightly more slowly due to the increased mass of steam resulting from higher initial density. The bubble is now 76.1 ft 3 after ten minutes compared to 75.3 ft 3 in case 10. This case demonstrates that lower initial pressures are limiting, because they imply less mass in the steam phase, and therefore bubbles are easier to collapse.
However, the sensitivity is slight.In this event, the higher density bubble pressurizes more before condensation matches the RCS expansion.
In point of fact, the Pressurizer pressure rises 72 psi from 390 psia initially to 462 psia. The reason that the PORV does not open at the 459 psia setpoint is that the RCS heats up so dramatically, that when RCS pressure crosses the lift pressure of 459 psia at about 40 seconds, the RCS temperature in volume 306 is now high enough to change the lift pressure in the LTOP logic. The run output shows the RCS temperature in volume 306 is about 205'F by 40 seconds. At that temperature, the PORV lift pressure in Table 7 is over 600 psia.This extreme case (314'F between SG and RCS) predicts a 72 psi pressure rise. Thus so long as the indicated RCS pressure is more than 72 psi below the LTOP curve, it is safe to start an RCP without lifting a PORV. This value of 72 psi is larger than the value of 61 psi developed in Reference 1, Case 11. The reason for the larger required margin is due to the possibility of a larger temperature differential.
Case I la: Heat addition, Ti = 50'F, T-SG = 364&deg;F, Pi = 350 psia (HP535s36, Figure 14a)The result of Case 11 implies a maximum 72 psi increase in pressure when an RCP is started. This is not a desirable result, since the 61 psi value from Reference 1 is used in creating Curve 3 of TDB III.7.a (Reference 13). An additional case is run to justify maintaining 61 psi as a maximum overshoot.
The basis for rerunning this case is that there is no need to model this transient with an initial pressure of 390 psia, as was done in Case 11. The plant is limited to a maximum pressure of 318.5 psia by Curve 3 of Reference 13 when starting an RCP at these low temperatures.
Moreover, the plant is actually limited to even a lower pressure, since the plant is on shutdown cooling prior to RCP start. Startup procedure OP-2A (Reference
: 15) directs the operators to jog the pumps while still on shutdown cooling, and there could be no large SG to RCS temperature difference without being on shutdown cooling The maximum allowed pressure for shutdown cooling is currently 250 psia (Reference 14), but this is being revised upward to 300 psia.At these lower initial pressures, the steam bubble is less dense and more readily condenses to hold down the pressure rise. Therefore the overshoot will be less than the 72 psi found in Case 11.Case 11 a is therefore run with initial pressure equal to the maximum indicated pressure allowed by procedure, which will be 300 psia after Reference 14 is revised, plus the 50 psi error in indicated pressure per Table 3. Thus case hp535s36 is run with conditions very similar to Case 11, but the initial pressure is 350 psia instead of 390 psia. The changes from Case 10 are as follows: OPPDO24-REPT-001 36 5/2007

: 1. The higher SG temperature of this calculation (364&deg;F versus 314'F) is offset by the lower initial pressure (350 psia versus 390 psia) in terms of total pressure rise. The use of 350 psia is justified by Fort Calhoun procedures.
Case 12: Heat addition, Ti = 50'F, T-SG = 364 0 F, Pi = 390 psia (HP504S36, Figure 15)Case 11 demonstrated that some pressure rise can occur prior to the bubble collapse offsetting the RCS expansion.
This means there is a possibility of lifting the PORV. This Case 12 scenario is run to demonstrate that if the PORV lifts, the transient is still successfully mitigated.
In order to force the PORV to open, the LTOP setpoint curve is changed to be a constant 459 psia independent of the RCS temperature.
This will assure a lift at around 40 seconds when the heat input is still very large. Hence the only change from Case 11 is to change the LTOP lift pressure curve to a constant 459 psia over all temperatures.

The slight changes in RCS pressure do not impact any of the heat sources. Figure 15 shows that the pressure does exceed the setpoint of 459 psia but that pressurization rate is relatively low, such that the peak pressure is only 461 psia when the PORV opens. At that point, the PORV is relieving steam, which is a large volumetric advantage relative to water. The pressure drops suddenly from the peak to a stable pressure where Pressurizer fluid can now flash to steam. Figure 15 shows that the bubble does not bleed off after the PORV opens, but rather slowly increases in size due to depressurization and flashing.There is a sizable bubble of 170 ft 3 at 610 seconds when the unusual heat addition has been mitigated.
Note that the simple PORV model does not include reseat characteristics.
That is because the model's purpose is to predict the ability to mitigate the LTOP event, and that can be demonstrated by the successful first lift. The expectation is that the PORV would reseat and a more constant pressure and bubble would be maintained.
However, the conclusion of this report, that the LTOP system successfully prevents overpressure, is demonstrated without modeling PORV reseat.Case 13: Heat addition, T, = 166 0 F, T-SG = 364 0 F, Pi = 170 psia (HP166S36, Figure 16)This case differs from the previous heat addition transients in that a higher RCS temperature is assumed. The changes from Reference I Case 13 are in the LTOP curve and initial conditions.

Figure 16 shows the peak energy in is less than 700 MWt. This results in a bubble of 84 ft 3 remaining after ten minutes (as opposed to 75 ft 3 for Case 10). The pressure rise is negligible with a peak of 188 psia in the pressurizer.
This transient shows that Case 10 will limit all cases with the Steam Generator at 364 0 F.Any higher RCS temperature cases will involve less energy flowing into the RCS and subsequently less bubble collapse.Case 14: Heat addition, Ti = 290'F, T-SG = 364&deg;F, Pi = 390 psia (HP290S36, Figure 17)This case was run simply because the plant may need to start a RCP when the RCS temperature is close to 300'F. Since the delta-T is only 74&deg;F, this case is less limiting than Cases 10 through 12.The change from Reference 1 Cased 14 is an increase in the Steam Generator temperature to 364&deg;F and the same change in the LTOP curve.

.Results Summary The mass addition cases are run to demonstrate full PORV opening prior to exceeding the P/T limit curve. In every case, there is sufficient margin to demonstrate this. Case I is not included since it was a benchmarking case in Reference
: 1. Cases 2 through 8 are from Reference 1 since they are not impacted by the proposed change to allow higher steam generator temperature at the time of LTOP initiation.
Case 9 differs from Case 9 of Reference 1 since it is run at 364&deg;F instead of the previously used 314'F.Table 11: Mass Addition Case Results Case, File Tinitial Pinitial SI Flow P/T Max actual actual (gpm)* Limit PZR P (OF) (psia) (psia) (psia)2 M50P2R 50 200 132 498 482.74 3 M50P4R 50 400 132 498 482.09 4 M50BR 50 200 132 498 485.85 5 M166P2R 166 200 132 525 507.96 6 M210P2R 210 200 132 794 690.91 7 M255P2R 255 200 215 @ 1216 1067.1 PORV open 8 M305P2R 305 200 132 @ 1892 1522.9 PORV open 9 M364P2R 364 200 132 @ 2918 1847 PORV open* Minimum PORV flow after full open is 360 gpm, so in every case the PORV flow rate is much greater than the injection rate, assuring peak pressure mitigation.
OPPDO24-REPT-001 50 5/2007 The heat addition cases are run to show that the pressurizer steam void will absorb enough of the expansion that a PORV lift does not occur. Even in the event that a lift does occur (Case 12), the pressure rise is modest and the volumetric relief is large, so that the pressure is less limiting than the mass addition cases.Table 12: Heat Addition Case Results Case, File Tinitial Pinitial SI Steam Min Maximum actual actual Flow Void Void Pressure (&deg;F) (psia) (gpm) Goal (ft 3) Rise (ft 3) (psia)10 HP509S36 50 170 0 >0 75 19 11 HP503S36 50 390 0 >0 76 72 11aHP535S36 50 350 0 >0 76 61 12 HP504S36 50 390 0

The scenario peak pressure was 461 psia.IX. FIRST RCP START PRESSURE It is noted that Case 11 demonstrates that when a RCP is started under extremely conservative assumptions (SG temperature of 364 0 F, RCS temperature of 50'F, decay heat associated with approximately
 
===1.5 hours===
after shutdown), the pressure rise is 72 psi.However, not only are these conditions unlikely, the Case 11 assumption of an initial pressure of 390 psia is not credible.
Fort Calhoun procedures limit the pressure to 300 psia based on the shutdown cooling system maximum pressure in TDB-III.7.d (Reference 14). Note that the current limit is actually 250 psia, but the intent is to increase this to 300 psia. Therefore Case 1 Ia was run at 300 psia plus 50 psi indication uncertainty, that is, the initial pressure was changed from 390 psia in Case 11 to 350 psia in Case 1 la. With this change, the overshoot becomes 61 psi. This is the value reported in Table 2.The indicated pressure and LTOP PORV setpoint circuitry share much of the same instrumentation.
The uncertainty error in the shared instrumentation would impact both equally. Because of this, and because of the conservatism in the analysis that results in the 61 psi overshoot, there is no need to increase the pressure offset any more to account for instrument uncertainty.
Adherence to the maximum pressure to start a RCP avoids PORV lifts and reduces the number of activations of a safety system. This guidance is provided as Curve 3 in TDB-III.7a (Reference 13), which is identified in Step 21 of the startup procedure OP-2A (Reference 15).OPPDO24-REPT-00 1 51 5/2007 X. CONCLUSIONS This report describes a conservative simulation of postulated limiting LTOP transients at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant. The analysis is consistent with NRC guidelines (Reference
: 3) and contains extensive conservatisms to assure adequate performance.
The previous LTOP analysis contained within Reference 1 showed that the existing LTOP curve is acceptable for plant operation.
This report finds that this conclusion also applies even though increasing the shutdown cooling system initiation to 350'F decreases the bubble margin for heat addition cases. No LTOP system changes are necessary, and no new operational restrictions are required.The LTOP setpoint curve is presented in Table 1. The necessary operational restrictions are given in Table 2. So long as the operational restrictions are satisfied and the PORV circuitry has setpoints equal to or more conservative than the values in Table 1, the LTOP system is adequate to protect against all postulated low temperature overpressure events.OPPDO24-REPT-001 52 5/2007 XI.

The files were run and output created at Fort Calhoun using the OPPD UNIX-based RELAP mod3.2d program for QA control purposes.The file naming convention is described by example for the Case 10 input file hp509s36.txt.
For other input files, the name hp509s36 is replaced by the appropriate name, but the suffixes remain the same.A script entitled runrelap executes the input file hp509s36.txt and creates the output file hp509s36.o and restart file hp509s36.r.
It then executes the strip files mstrpmr.txt which pulls out the reactor beltline pressure (p 120010000, which is the pressure in volume 120 seen in Figure A 1-1 of Attachment 1), the pressurizer top pressure (p 410060000 where the 6 selects the top subvolume), and the PORV mass flow rate (mflowj 420000000).
This data is saved in the file hp509s36.txt.ws.
A second strip file mstrpbr.txt pulls out the heat into the steam generator on the loop with the actuated RCP (control variable 108), the heat into the opposite loop (control variable 107), and the pressurizer steam bubble size (voidg 410060000).
This data is saved in the file hp509s36.txt.bs.
The commands to do this manually are as follows (note: relap5.x would be replaced by relap5.exe when using a PC version of Relap5): relap5.x -i hp509s36.txt -o hp509s36.o -r hp509s36.r relap5.x -i mstrpmr.txt -o hp509s36.wso -r hp509s36.r -s hp509s36.ws relap5.x -i mstrpbr.txt -o hp509s36.bso -r hp509s36.r -s hp509s36.bs Note that the strip output files hp509s36.wso and hp509s36.bso are created, but they contain only run status information and are not utilized for this report.The stripped data .ws files for mass injection cases are loaded into the file mplot.xls, where the plots for Cases 2 through 9 are generated.
The stripped .ws and .bs files for the heat injection cases are loaded into the file hplot.xls where the figures for Cases 10 through 14 are generated.
