St. Lucie Unit 2 EPU Licensing Report App. B-1 Additional Codes and Methods St. Lucie Unit 2 L-2011-021 Docket No. 50-389 St. Lucie Unit 2 Extended Power Uprate Licensing Report Appendix B Additional Codes and Methods This cover sheet plus 2 pages

St. Lucie Unit 2 EPU Licensing Report App. B-2 Additional Codes and Methods St. Lucie Unit 2 L-2011-021 Docket No. 50-389 APPENDIX B ADDITIONAL CODES AND METHODS In addition to the codes and methods listed in Appendix A of this LR, numerous analytical codes and methods were used to support the Extended Power Uprate (EPU). These have been reviewed against the codes and methods currently described in the UFSAR. The information presented below represents the set of key codes used that do not currently reside in the UFSAR as well as their associated application. All of these codes/methods have been determined by Florida Power & Light to be appropriate for use in their respective applications.

Table B-1 Additional Codes and Methods CODE APPLICATION ANETH The ANETH computer code is a one-dimensional code which was used for water level instability analysis.

BULKTEM This code was used to calculate the decay heat produced in the spent fuel pool by the recently off-loaded fuel.

CHECWORKS-SFA This code was used to determine Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) predictions.

CENTS This code was used to perform Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS) modeling.

CAFTA The Computer Assisted Fault Tree Analysis (CAFTA) code was used in the modeling, development and maintenance of fault tree models.

FLUENT General Purpose Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Program.

HRA HRA Calculator is a software tool which was used to facilitate a standardized approach to human reliability analysis (HRA).

LONGOR This code was used to quantify the decay heat produced by previously off-loaded fuel.

LASER This code was used to estimate flux depression in fuel.

MAAP The Modular Accident Analyses Program (MAAP) simulates plant response to severe accidents given a set of initiating events and operator actions. This code was used to support development of the St. Lucie Probabilistic Risk Analysis (PRA).

MCNP5 This code was used to perform criticality analysis.

NSSSPlus This code was used to generate Performance Capability Working Group (PCWG) design sheets.

ORIGEN 2.1 This code was used to support the determination of core inventory nuclides for dose calculations.

ORIGEN2 This code was used to support the determination of core inventory nuclides for decay heat calculations.

PITRUST-PC PITRUST-PC is a computer program which was used to calculate local stress intensity at the junction of two cylindrical vessels.

St. Lucie Unit 2 EPU Licensing Report App. B-3 Additional Codes and Methods St. Lucie Unit 2 L-2011-021 Docket No. 50-389 PILUG-PC PILUG-PC is a computer program which was used in support of the analysis of local stresses at the connection of rectangular lugs to piping.

PITRIFE PITRIFE is a computer program which was used to perform analysis of local stresses at the connection of round trunnions to piping.

PERFGV This program was used to provide performance and thermal-hydraulic parameters of U-tube type steam generators for BOL and EOL conditions at various power levels.

PLAQUE TUBULAIRE This program was used to determine stresses taking into account the stress concentration factors associated with the tubesheet hole pattern.

PLSCADD This program was used to perform sag-tension analysis of overhead power lines.

PSS/E This computer program was used to perform power flow analysis of the post transient condition for outage events.

RCCM-ASME This code was used to calculate the linearized stress intensity range and fatigue usage factor in accordance with ASME Section III, Subsection NB.

SYSNUKE This code was used to determine the stress field including temperature variation and stress distribution.

STEHAM-PC This code was used to determine forcing functions for a main steam isolation valve (MSIV) closure event and a turbine stop valve (TSV) closure fluid transient event.

WATHAM-PC This code was used to determine forcing functions for the feedwater regulating valve, isolation valve closure and feedwater pump trip events.
