The limiting ATWS analysis (PRFO at EOC) was re-evaluated to account for an Increased boron transport delay time. Therefore, the following two changes were made to MSAR Table 10-2: the peak suppression pool temperature and peak containment pressure values were revised and a note was added explaining the change.

1. Table 10-2 Revised the Peak Suppression Pool Temp (OF) and Peak Containment Pg 10-4 Pressure (psig) for the GE14 PRFO @ EOC to 176 IF and 8.0 psig.

2. Table 10-2 Added note (4) explaining the different boron transport delay times used Pg 10-4 for some of the GE14 cases.

(2) The PCT values for CLTP/BOC conditions are not bounding and not calculated.

(3) The peak suppression pool temperatures were also validated to meet the ATWS acceptance criteria through depressurization of the reactor. The depressurization evaluation was conservatively performed at 3952 MWt.

(4) In the full core GE14 analysis, a shorter boron transportation delay time of 86 seconds was used in the evaluation of these non-limiting cases. All other cases are evaluated based on an updated boron transportation delay time of 104.4 seconds. The non-limiting cases would be similarly impacted by this revised input and remain bounded by the historically limiting PRFO-EOC case.

NEDO-33066 Revision 2 With Errata-Addenda No. 2 10.2 Input Assumptions The following initial conditions and assumptions were used in'the analysis:

Analytical Assumptions Bases/Justifications The reactor is operating at 3339 MWt (100% Consistency with HCGS current licensing of CLTP). basis.

Initial core flow is 76.6% of RCF Lowest core flow at rated power range to maximize the initial void fraction in the coolant, and thus more severe pressurization transient consequences.

Both Beginning-of-Cycle (BOC) and EOC Consistency with generic ATWS nuclear dynamic parameters were used in the evaluation bases.

calculations.

Sodium Pentaborate Solution Concentration is Minimum solution concentration to meet 13.6% by weight. the ATWS requirements.

One SRVOOS, specified as the valve with the Consistency with the Technical lowest setpoint. Specifications.

SRV setpoints adjusted to be consistent with Consistency with the Technical the 3% setpoint tolerance relaxation. Specifications.

The initial operating conditions are presented in Table 10-1.

10.3 Analyses Results Table 10-2 presents the results for the MSIVC and PRFO events. The limiting ATWS event for HCGS is the PRFO. The peak vessel bottom pressure for this event is 1343 psig at BOC, which is below the ATWS vessel overpressure protection criterion of 1500 psig.

The highest calculated peak suppression pool temperature is 1760 F at EOC, which is below the ATWS limit of 2010 F. The highest calculated peak containment pressure is 8.0 psig at EOC, which is below the ATWS limit of 62 psig. Thus, the containment criteria for ATWS are met.

Coolable core geometry is ensured by meeting the 22000 F PCT and the 17% local cladding oxidation acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46. The highest calculated PCT is 15890 F, which is significantly less than the ATWS limit. The fuel cladding oxidation is insignificant and less than the 17% local limit.

The maximum SLCS pump discharge pressure and timing depend primarily on the SRV setpoints. The maximum SLCS pump discharge pressure during the limiting ATWS event is approximately 1258 psig. This value is based on a peak reactor vessel upper plenum pressure of 10-2
