Y1003J01A03 APPENDIX A SHUTDOWN MARGIN DETERMINATION A.l~ BASES The reference loading pattern, documented in item 3 of this supplemental reload submittal, is the basis for all reload licensing and operational planning and is comprised of the fuel bundles designated in item 2 of this supplemental submittal. It in turn is based on the best possible prediction of the core condition at the end of the present cycle and on the desired core energy capability for the reload cycle. It is designed with the intent that it will represent, as closely as possible, the actual core loading pattern. A.2 CORE CHARACTERISTICS The reference core is analyzed in detail to ensure that adequate cold shutdown margin exists. This section discusses the results of core calculations for shutdown margin.

A.2.1 Core Effective Multiplication and Control Rod Worth Core effective multiplication and control rod worths were calculated using the TVA BWR simulator code (References A-1, A-3) in conjunction with the TVA lattice physics data generation code (References A-2, A-3) to determine the core reactivity with all rods withdrawn and'with all rods inserted. A tabulation of the results is provided'in Table A.1. These three eigenvalues (effective multi-plication of the core, uncontrolled, fully controlled, and with the strongest rod out) were calculated at the beginning-of-cycle 4 core average exposure corresponding to the minimum expected end-of-cycle 3 core average exposure.

The core was assumed to be in a xenon-free condition. m A-1 _ -n- w t

Y1003J01A03 Cold k,gg was calculated with the strongest control rod out at various exposures through the cycle. The value R is the difference between the strongest rod out k,gg at BOC and the maximum criculated strongest rod out k,gg at any exposure point. The strongest rod out k,gg at any exposure point is equal to or less than: S k,RO gg = (Fully controlled k gg) BOC + (Strongest Rod Worth) BOC + R J A.2.2 Reactor Shutdown Margin Technical Specifications require that the refueled core must be capable of being made suberitical with 0.38 percent Ak margin in the most reactive condition throughout the subsequent operating cycle with the most reactive control rod in its full out position and all other rods fully inserted. The shutdown margin is determined by using the BWR simulator code to calcu-late the core multiplication at selected exposure points with the strongest rod fully withdrawn. The shutdown margin for the reloaded core is obtained by subtracting the k, 0 given in Table A.1 from the critical k,gg of 1.0, resulting in a calculated cold shutdown margin of 1.1 percent Ak. A-2
