The PCT impact due to these changes is 0°F. 16. Discrepancy in Metal Masses Used from Drawings (SBLOCA) Discrepancies were discovered in the use of lower support plate (LSP) metal masses from drawings. The updated LSP metal masses have been evaluated, and the PCT impact due to this change on the SBLOCA has been determined to be 0°F. 17. General Code Maintenance (LBLOCA) Various changes have been made to enhance the usability of the codes and to help preclude errors in analyses. This includes items such as modifying input variable definitions, units, and defaults; improving the input diagnostic checks; enhancing the code output; optimizing active coding; and eliminating inactive coding. The nature of these changes leads to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F. 18. Maximum Number of Non-Uranium Filler Rods (SBLOCA and LBLOCA) The Byron Unit 2 Cycle 16 design has a 1 OF PCT penalty for LBLOCA and a 0°F penalty for SBLOCA with the use of sixteen (1 6) Non-Uranium Filler Rods. The 16 filler rods were evaluated as a contingency for the 16 AXIOMTM high burnup fuel rods. The PCT penalty is 0°F if eight or less filler rods are used in Byron Unit 2 Cycle 16. Page 4 of 4}} |

Prior Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated June 1 I, 2001, reported new large break loss-of-coolant accident (LBLOCA) and small break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA) analyses to support operations at uprated power conditions. The same report assessed the impact from decay heat uncertainty error in Monte Carlo calculations on LBLOCA analysis, which resulted in a 12°F penalty, as applicable, and the impact from annular axial blankets on SBLOCA analysis, which resulted in a 3°F penalty, as applicable. Evaluations for plant conditions and LBLOCA and SBLOCA model changes that resulted in 0°F PCT change were reported. Cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles.
- 2. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 10,2002, reported evaluations for LBLOCA and SBLOCA model changes, which resulted in 0°F PCT change. Cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles.
- 3. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 14,2003, reported evaluations for LBLOCA and SBLOCA model changes which resulted in 0°F PCT change. Cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles.
- 4. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 14, 2004, reported evaluations for LBLOCA model changes, which resulted in 0°F PCT change. A SBLOCA assessment related to NOTRUMP bubble riseldrift flux model inconsistency corrections, which resulted in 35°F PCT assessment, was reported. Cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles. 5. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 14, 2005, reported evaluations for LBLOCA model changes, which resulted in a 5°F PCT change due to the Revised Blowdown Heatup Uncertainty Calculation. Assembly Nl OS was reconstituted with two stainless steel filler rods during Braidwood Unit 1 Refueling Outage
- 11. This assembly was reloaded into the core and used during Braidwood Unit 1 Cycle 12 operation. The introduction of up to five stainless steel filler rods was evaluated and shown to have no impact on LBLOCA and SBLOCA analyses.
The estimated PCT effect was 0°F. This assembly was discharged during Reload 12. Cycle-specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles.
Page 1 of 4 ATTACHMENT 2 Braidwood and Byron Stations, Units 1 and 2 10 CFR 50.46 Report Assessment Notes 6. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 14, 2006, reported evaluations for LBLOCA model changes, which resulted in a 0°F PCT change due to the Revised Iteration Algorithm for Calculating the Average Fuel Temperature, Pellet Radial Profile, Improved Automation of End of Blowdown Time, Thermodynamic Properties from THERMO, Vessel Unheated Conductor Noding and Containment Relative Humidity Assumption.
NOTRUMP General Code Maintenance resulted in 0°F change for SBLOCA. Cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles. 7. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 13, 2007, reported evaluations for LOCA model changes and errors. The report documented general code maintenance for NOTRUMP, containment heat sink addition evaluation, AXIOM lead test assembly evaluation and NOTRUMP refined break spectrum, which resulted in 0°F PCT impact. Cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles, which resulted in an 8°F PCT for LBLOCA for Byron Unit
- 2. 8. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 30-day 10 CFR 50.46 report dated May 10, 2007, applicable to Byron Unit 2 reported an assessment of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS), which evaluated changes in ECCS flow during the recirculation phase due to Generic Safety Issue (GSI) 191 related safety injection (SI) throttle valve replacements. The evaluation of recirculation phase ECCS flow changes relative to impact on the current Analysis of Record was performed for the SBLOCA and LBLOCA. The LBLOCA analysis was unaffected and a 0°F penalty was assessed.
Based on the NOTRUMP and SBLOCA calculations performed for Byron Unit 2, a conservative, bounding PCT assessment of +90°F was applied to the current Byron Unit 2 SBLOCA PCT. 9. Prior LOCA Model Assessment A 30-day report was submitted to the NRC dated June 22, 2007, to report an error in the HOTSPOT code, which resulted in an increase of 55°F in the LBLOCA PCT for Braidwood Unit 2 and Byron Unit 2 and a 20°F LBLOCA PCT increase for Braidwood Unit 1 and Byron Unit 1. In addition, the report also reported minor errors with the reactor vessel data collections that potentially affected the vessel inlet and outlet fluid volume, metal mass, and surface area. The corrected values were evaluated for impact, and a 0°F penalty was assessed for Byron Units 1 and 2, and Braidwood Units 1 and 2, SBLOCA analysis. The LBLOCA analyses were not affected by these minor errors. Page 2 of 4 AlTACHMENT 2 Braidwood and Byron Stations, Units 1 and 2 10 CFR 50.46 Report Assessment Notes 10. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 30-day 10 CFR 50.46 report dated November 19, 2007, applicable to Braidwood Unit 1 reported an assessment of the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS), which evaluated changes in ECCS flow during the recirculation phase due to GSI-191 related SI throttle valve replacements. The evaluation of recirculation phase ECCS flow changes relative to impact on the current Analysis of Record was performed for the SBLOCA and LBLOCA. The LBLOCA analysis was unaffected and a 0°F penalty was assessed. Based on the NOTRUMP and SBLOCA calculations performed for Braidwood Unit 1, a conservative, bounding PCT assessment of +90°F was applied to the current Braidwood Unit 1 SBLOCA PCT. 11. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 11, 2008, reported evaluations for LOCA model changes and errors. Applicable to Braidwood Unit 2 and Byron Unit I, the ECCS assessment evaluated changes in ECCS flow during the recirculation phase due to GSI-191 related safety injection SI throttle valve replacements. A conservative, bounding PCT assessment of +90°F was applied to the Braidwood Unit 2 and Byron Unit 1 SBLOCA PCTs. The report also documented general code maintenance for SBLOCA and evaluation for pump weir resistance modeling for SBLOCA analyses, which resulted in 0 OF PCT impact. Cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were reported for the applicable operating cycles, which resulted in 8°F PCT for LBLOCA for Braidwood Unit 2 and 80°F PCT for LBLOCA for Byron Unit 1. 12. Prior LOCA Model Assessment The 10 CFR 50.46 report dated April 9, 2009, reported evaluations for LOCA model changes and errors. The report documents general code maintenance for SBLOCA and LBLOCA, changes made to the HOTSPOT burst temperature logic errors (LBLOCA), errors in reactor vessel lower plenum surface area calculations (SBLOCA), discrepancies in metal mass from drawings (SBLOCA), a CCFL global volume error (LBLOCA), and an evaluation of Areva Lead Use Assemblies (LUA) (SBLOCA, LBLOCA). All have a 0°F PCT penalty associated with them. Additionally, cycle specific evaluations related to axial power shape distribution envelope violation were performed for the applicable operating cycles, and an associated PCT penalty of 80°F was reported for the LBLOCA analysis for Braidwood 1 Cycle 15. 13. Axial Power Shape Distribution Envelope Violation (PMID, PBOT)
The LBLOCA analysis was performed based on assuming an axial power shape distribution envelope (PMID, PBOT), where PMID is the power in the middle one-third of the core; and PBOT is the power in the lower one-third of the core. The envelope is pertinent to the BELOCA analysis and is presented as Figure 11 -1 of WCAP-15585, "Best Estimate Analysis of the Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident for the Byron /Braidwood Units 1 and 2 Nuclear Plant," November 2000.
For every reload cycle, the envelope is verified to remain limiting.
If there is a violation, then a PCT penalty is calculated.
Page 3 of 4 ATTACHMENT 2 Braidwood and Byron Stations, Units 1 and 2 10 CFR 50.46 Report Assessment Notes For Byron Unit 1 Cycle 17, Byron Unit 2 Cycle 16, and Braidwood Unit 2 Cycle 15, there was a PBOTIPMID violation, and a PCT penalty of 0°F was calculated, which was previously reported to the NRC. The latest assessments for Byron Unit 1 Cycle 17, Byron Unit 2 Cycle 16, and Braidwood Unit 2 Cycle 15 do not affect the net PCT. 14. HOTSPOT Gap Heat Transfer Logic (LBLOCA) The HOTSPOT code has been updated to incorporate the following changes to the gap heat transfer logic: (1) change the gap temperature from the pellet average temperature to the average of the pellet outer surface and cladding inner surface temperatures; (2) correct the calculation of the pellet surface emissivity to use a temperature in OR instead of OF; and (3) revise the calculation of the gap radiation heat transfer coefficient. The PCT impact due to these changes is 0°F. 15. HOTSPOT Statistical Output Logic (LBLOCA)
The HOTSPOT code has been updated to incorporate the following changes to the statistical output logic for calculations using the Code Qualification Document methodology:
(1) revise one of the three methods for calculating the standard deviation of cladding temperature to correctly identify the bin containing the 975th percentile value; and (2) change the 50th, 95th and 975th percentile bin values from the lower end of the range to the upper end. The PCT impact due to these changes is 0°F. 16. Discrepancy in Metal Masses Used from Drawings (SBLOCA) Discrepancies were discovered in the use of lower support plate (LSP) metal masses from drawings. The updated LSP metal masses have been evaluated, and the PCT impact due to this change on the SBLOCA has been determined to be 0°F. 17. General Code Maintenance (LBLOCA) Various changes have been made to enhance the usability of the codes and to help preclude errors in analyses. This includes items such as modifying input variable definitions, units, and defaults; improving the input diagnostic checks; enhancing the code output; optimizing active coding; and eliminating inactive coding. The nature of these changes leads to an estimated PCT impact of 0°F. 18. Maximum Number of Non-Uranium Filler Rods (SBLOCA and LBLOCA) The Byron Unit 2 Cycle 16 design has a 1 OF PCT penalty for LBLOCA and a 0°F penalty for SBLOCA with the use of sixteen (1 6) Non-Uranium Filler Rods. The 16 filler rods were evaluated as a contingency for the 16 AXIOMTM high burnup fuel rods. The PCT penalty is 0°F if eight or less filler rods are used in Byron Unit 2 Cycle 16. Page 4 of 4
