ENCLOSURE I NEXTERA ENERGY POINT BEACH, LLC POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS I AND 2 LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST 247 SPENT FUEL POOL STORAGE CRITICALITY CONTROL RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The following information is provided by NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) in response to the NRC staff's request for additional information (RAI) dated October 22,2009, to support continued review of Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) License Amendment Request 247.

Question I:

Based on the information submitted by the licensee to date, the staff finds that the licensee's analysis does not provide reasonable assurance that Point Beach fuel storage will comply with the regulatory limit of kerf less than I.

0 under unborated conditions. Currently, there is not a generically approved methodology for performing an SFP criticality analysis. Therefore, licensees must submit a plant-specific SFP criticality analysis that includes technically-supported margins. lssues identified during staff review to date have reduced the reserved analytical margin, an order of magnitude from 0.5% Ak to 0.049% Ak. The analysis currently shows a maximum keff of 0.99951. The analytical margin is normally reserved to address potential uncertainties that are unaccounted for. The reserved analytical margin of 0.049% Ak essentially requires that there are no other uncertainties that must be accounted for, and that the remaining portions of the analysis are without issues. The staff finds that this is not the case for the Point Beach analysis.

For example, the proper use of the constant specific power and operating history assumption alone requires an additional allowance of 0.2% Ak margin, according to NUREG-6665, "Review and Prioritization of Technical lssues Related to Burnup Credit for L WR Fuel." With the reserved analytical margin at 0.049% Ak, the analysis is unable to accommodate this additional uncertainty, The analysis no longer provides reasonable assurance that keff will be less than 1.0.

With available margin being so small, issues that may be otherwise resolved by engineering judgment become more important to consider and quantify. Consequently, an issue that was relatively insignificant in the past can now be significant enough to cause regulatory limits to be exceeded, lssues such as the effect of not accounting for fission products and actinides in the criticality code validation, become important to quantify when any additional error greater than or equal to 0.00049 in Ak results in non-compliance. An analysis that retains the full 0.5 percent Ak analytical margin intact may allow the staff to accept engineering judgment to disposition certain issues.

"In summary, the staff finds that the current Point Beach analysis does not provide the staff with reasonable assurance that Point Beach fuel storage will comply with the regulatory limit of keff Page 1 of 2

less than 1.0 under unborated conditions. For the staff to continue its review, the licensee should consider resubmitting an analysis that restores the full 0.5% Ak analytical margin for the proposed storage configurations, incorporating any identified non-conservatisms. Alternatively, the licensee may attempt to regain the analytical margin by identifying and quantifying the conservatisms in their analysis. However, this approach usually results in a more lengthy review with additional RA1s to substantiate the identified conservatisms. "

NextEra Response Burnup offsets to restore the full administrative margin have been calculated. The burnup offsets result in increased burnup requirements for the three proposed storage configurations.

The details on how the burnups were calculated and results are contained in Enclosure 2. The changes to the proposed technical specifications, as a result of the burnup offsets, are contained in Enclosure 3.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This addendum documents revisions to the burnup vs. initial enrichment limit curves found in WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2 (Reference 2) to incoi-porate burnup offsets. The report contains the methodology followed in generating the burnup offsets, burnup vs. initial enrichment limit curves, and bu~rnup vs. initial enrichment polynomials for each configuration found in WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2. The new burnup vs. initial enrichment limits restore the 0.005 Ak of administrative margin to satisfy the request for additional information in Reference 1.

Tables 1-1 and 1-2 summarize which tables and figures in Section 4.0 of the original issuance of WCAP-16541-NP have been updated.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2, Addendum 1 2.0 Methodology

2.1 Background

WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2, contains 0.005 Ak of administrative lnargin reserved from both the borated and unborated keff regulatoly requirements of 0.95 and 1.0 respectively. A portion of the reserved administrative margin was used in response to requests for additional information (References 3, 5, and 7). Table 2-1 lists the total credited administrative margin.

2.2 Burnup Offset Generation Bu~nup offsets are generated for each configuration, enrichment, and decay time combination to restore the administrative margin to a minimum of 0.005 Alc.

The lnaximurn allowable fresh fuel enrichment for each configuration remains unaffected because administrative lnargin was credited only for situations related to depleted fuel.

The burnup offsets given in Section 3.0 are created by quadratically fitting kff vs. burnup for each emichment/decay time combination for each configuration. The keE values as a function of burnup, emichment, and decay time come from Tables 3-7, 3-11, and 3-13 of WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2. The fitted equation coupling bR and burnup is then used to determine the bumup offset needed to restore a minimuln of 0.005 Alc admhistrative margin.

0 2.3 Burnup Offset Impact on Biases and Uncertainties The burnup offsets do not impact the biases and uncertainties documented in WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2.

The majority of uncertainty calculations were performed using fresh fuel and therefore are not impacted by the burnup offset. The sum of biases and uncertainties used in the WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2 analysis is bounding (Reference 6, Question 2). The analysis in WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2 incorporates limiting biases and uncertainties from fresh and depleted conditions, to maximize the sum of biases and uncertainties.

The temperature bias calculation was performed using depleted fuel. The temperature bias was taken as the maximum value calculated based on a variety of enrichment and bumup combinations for each configuration and therefore the most limiting value was included in each configuration (Reference 4, Question 3). The temperature bias is thus not affected by the bumup offset.

The burnup uncertainty in WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2 is 5% of the burnup limit lnultiplied by the change in reactivity per change in burnup. In response to Question 1, documented in Reference 4, the burnup uncertainty was recalculated as described in Reference 8. The reactivity difference between the two methods was credited against the available administrative margin. To regain the full 0.005 Ak of administrative margin, the reactivity credit talcen from the administrative margin is being translated into a burnup offset. This b m u p offset does not impact the biases and uncertainties, as discussed above.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2, Addendum 1 3.0 Analysis 3.1 Burnup Limits The three configurations analyzed in WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2 are an "All-Cell" configuration and two "1-out-of-4" configurations. The "All-Cell" configuration stores assemblies that have similar reactivity, where a "l-out-of-4" configuration stores one high reactivity assembly for eveiy three low reactivity assemblies. The first of the two "l-out-of-4" configurations is the "l-out-of-4 5.0 w/o Fresh, No IFBA" configuration. This configuration assumes the high reactivity assembly is a 5.0 w/o fi-esh assembly without IFBA. The second of the two "l-out-of-4" configurations is the "l-out-of-4 4.0 w/o Fresh, With IFBA" configuration.

This configuration assumes the high reactivity assembly is a 4.0 w/o fi-esh assembly with no IFBA or a greater than 4.0 w/o fresh assembly containing IFBA.

For each of these configurations WCAP-16541 -NP, Revision 2 reports &K values for several bmup and decay time combinations for initial enrichments of 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 wlo. The 1~~ vs. burnup and burnup limit tables froin WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2 are presented in Table 3-1.

The fonnulation of the fitting coefficients and burnup offsets is given below for each configuration.

3.1.1 "All-Cell" Configuration Quadratic fits of the data fi-om Table 3-7 of WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2 were used to develop fitting

(

coefficients as discussed in Section 2.2. The fitting coefficients were used in conjunction with the original bumup limits to detennine the nominal multiplication factor of the required burnup for each enrichmentldecay time. The burnup offset was then detennined so that the AlkR between the new burnup limit and original burnup limit was greater than that shown in Table 2-1. The resulting set of burnup offsets and associated inargin reclaimed are shown in Table 3-2.

The minimum administrative margin gain for the "All-Cell" configuration, shown in Table 3-2, is 0.00138 Ak.

From Table 2-1, the additional inargin needed to return the administrative margin to 0.005 Ak is 0.00131 Ak.

The burnup offsets shown in Table 3-2 will return all initial eruichmentldecay time combinations in the "All-Cell" configuration to greater than 0.005 Ale administrative margin. Table 4-3 and Figure 4-1 present the updated burnup limits for the "All-Cell" configuration.

3.1.2 "1-out-of-4 5.0 w/o Fresh, No IFBA" Configuration The same method used to detennine the bumup offsets for the "All-Cell" storage configuration was used for the "l-out-of-4 5.0 w/o Fresh, No IFBA" configuration. The resulting set of burnup offsets and associated margin reclaimed are shown in Table 3-3.

The minimurn administrative margin gain for the "1-out-of-4 5.0 w/o Fresh, No IFBA" configuration, shown in Table 3-3, is 0.00453 Ale. From Table 2-1, the additional margin needed to return the administrative inargin to 0.005 Ale is 0.00451 Ale. The burnup offsets shown in Table 3-3 will retun all initial enrichmentldecay time combinations in the "l-out-of-4 5.0 w/o Fresh, No IFBA" configuration to greater than 0.005 Ak administrative margin. Table 4-4 and Figure 4-2 present the updated burnup liinits for the "l-out-of-4 5.0 wlo Fresh, No IFBA" I

configuration.

Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 WCAP-16541-NP, Revision 2, Addendum 1 3.1.3 "1-out-of-4 4.0 wlo Fresh, With IFBA" Configuration The same method used to determine the burnup offsets for the "All-Cell" storage configuration was used for the "1-out-of-4 4.0 wlo Fresh, With IFBA" configuration. The resulting set of burnup offsets and associated margin reclaimed are shown in Table 3-4.

The minimuin administrative margin gain for the "1-out-of-4 4.0 wlo Fresh, With IFBA" configuration, shown in Table 3-4, is 0.00424 Alc. From Table 2-1, the additional margin needed to return the administrative margin to 0.005 Alc is 0.00421 Alc. The burnup offsets shown in Table 3-4 will return all initial enrichmentldecay time combinations in the "1-out-of-4 4.0 wlo Fresh, With IFBA" configuration to greater than 0.005 hk administrative margin. Table 4-5 and Figure 4-3 present the updated burnup limits for the "1-out-of-4 4.0 wlo Fresh, With LFBA" configuration.
