10. Local Rod Withdrawal Error (With Limiting Instrument Failure) AOO Summary The rod withdrawal error event in the maximum extended operating domain was originally analyzed in the GE BWR Licensing Report, Maximwn Extended Operating Domain Analysisfor Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, NEDC-31654P, dated February 1989. The MCPR limit for rod withdrawal error is bounded by the op-erating limit MCPRs presented in Section 11 of this report for RBM setpoints shown in Tables 10-5(a) or 10-5(b) of NEDC-31654P.

In agreement with commitments to the NRC(letter from M.A. Smith to Document Control Desk,10CFR Part 21, Reportable Condition, Safety Limit MCPR Evaluation, May 24,1996) a cycle-specilic Safety Limit l MCPR calculation was performed, and has been reported in both the Safety Limit MCPR and the Operating l

Limit MCPR shown below. This cycle specific SLMCPR was determined using the analysis basis docu- '

mented in GESTAR with the following exceptions:

1. The actual core loading was analyzed.
2. The actual bundle parameters (e.g., local peaking) were used.
3. The full cycle exposure range was analyzed.

2. De pratmg lumt MCPR for two loop operation (TLO) bounds the operating lunit MCPR for single loop operation (SLO), therefore. the operating lunit MCPR need not be changed for SLO.
3. The ICF Operaung Umits for the exposure range of BOCil to EOCl1-2205 mwd /MT bound the Operating Limits for the following do-mams; MELLL. ICF and IMTR. MsIVOOs and ICF.

This is a banked position withdrawal sequence plant, therefore, the control rod drop accident analysis is not required. NRC approvalis documented in NEDE-24011-P-A-US.

15. Stability Analysis Results j i

GE SIL-380 recommendations and GE interim corrective actions have been included in the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Unit 1 operating procedures. Regions of restricted operation defined in Attachment I to NRC Bulletin No. 88-07, Supplement 1, Power Oscillations in Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs), are applicable to Brunswick 1.

16. Loss-of-Coolant Accident Results LOCA method used: SAFER /GESTR-LOCA The GE8x8EB LOCA analysis results presented in Sections 5 and 6 of Brumwick Steam Electric Plant Units 1 and 2 SAFERIGESTAR-LOCA Inss-of-Coolant AccidentAnalysis, NEDC-31624P. Revision 2, July 1990, conservatively bound the LOCA analysis of the GE8x8NB-3 fuel types. This analysis yielded a licensing basis peak clad temperature of 1533
  • F, a peak local oxidation fraction of <0.30%, and a core-wide metal-wa-ter reaction of 0.046%.

An additional LOCA analysis was performed for the GE13 fuel type. The results, presented in Brunswick Steam Electric Plant Units 1 and 2 SAFERIGESTAR-LOCA Loss-of-Coolant Accident Analysis: Applica-tion to GE13 Fuel, NEDC-31624P, Supplement 3, Rev. O, January 1996, show a licensing basis peak clad temperature of 1535'F. The peak local oxidation fraction and core-wide metal-water reaction were shown to be bounded by results from the GE8x8EB LOCA analysis.

The most and the least limiting MAPLHGRs for the new GE13 fuel designs are as follows:

For this mode of operation in BSEP Unit I throughout Cycle 11, the MCPR limits presented in Swion 11 of this report are bounding and should be applied when operating in the MSIVOOS mode at any time 'aring the cycle.Re peak steamline and peak vessel pmssures for the limiting overpressurization event (MSIV clo-sure with flux scram) were not calculated for the MSIVOOS mode of operation. In this mode of operation it is required that all S/RVs be operational versus the assumed 2 S/RVs OOS for the events evaluated during normal plant operation. Previous cycles analyses have shown that the MSIV closure with flux scram, eva-luated in the MSIVOOS mode, has resulted in the peak vessel pressure being reduced by more than 25 psi, when compared to the same case evaluated with all (four) steamlines operational.

i GENuclent Energy GeneralDoctre Company P 0 Bos 780. Wimongton. NC 28402 Affidavit I, Ralph J. Reda, being duly sworn, depase and state as follows:

(1) I am Manager, Fuels and Facility Licensing, General Electric Company ("GE") and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph (2) which is sought to be withheld, and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.

(2) The information sought to be withheld is contained in the document, NEDC-31624P, 1 Supplement 1, Revision 3, Loss-of-Coolant Accident Analysis Reportfor BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT UNIT 1, Reload 10 Cycle 11, May 1996.

(3) In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is the owner, GE relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act i

("FOIA"), 5 USC Sec. 552(bX4), and the Trade Secrets Act,18 USC Sec.1905, and NRC j regulations 10 CFR 9.17(aX4),2.790(aX4), and 2.790(dXI) for " trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential"(Exemption 4).

The material for which exemption from disclosure is here sought is all " confidential commercial information," and some portions also qualify under the narrower definition of" trade secret,"

within the meanings assigned to those terms for purposes of FOI A Exemption 4 in, respectively, Critical Mass Energy Project v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 975F2d871 (DC Cir.1992),

and Public Citizen Health Research Groun v. FDA,704F2d1280 (DC Cir.1983).

(4) Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:

I

a. Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, incbding supporting data and analyses, where prevention ofits use by General Electric's competitors without license from General Electric constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies;
b. Information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources l or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product;
c. Information which reveals cost or price information, production capacities, budget levels, or commercial strategies of General Electric, its customers, or its suppliers;
d. Information which reveals aspects of past, present, or future General Electric customer-funded development plans and programs, of potential commercial value to General Electric;
e. Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.

l (5) The information sought to be withheld is being submitted to NRC in confidence. The I information is of a sort customarily held in confidence by GE, and is in fact so held. Its initial designation as proprietary information, and the subsequent steps taken to prevent its

)

l unauthorized disclosure, are as set forth in (6) and (7) following. The information sought to be l withheld has, to the best of my knowledge and belief, consistently been held in confidence by GE, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public sources. All disclosures l to third parties including any required transmittals to NRC, have been made, or must be made, l pursuant to regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of

! the information in confidence.

L (6) Initial approval of proprietary treatment of a document is made by the manager of the l originating component, the person most likely to be acquainted with the value and sensitivity of the information in relation to industry knowledge. Access to such documents within GE is limited on a "need to know" basis.

l (7) The procedure for approval of external release of such a document typically requires review by the staff manager, project manager, principal scientist or other equivalent authority, by the manager of the cognizant marketing function (or his delegate), and by the Legal Operation, for

technical content, competitive effect, and determination of the accuracy of the proprietary designation. Disclosures outside GE are limited to regulatory bodies, customers, and potential customers, and their agents, suppliers, and licensees, and others with a legitimate need for the information, and then only in accordance with appropriate regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements.

(8) The information identified in paragraph (2) is classified as proprietary because it would provide other parties, .4cluding competitors, with information related to detailed results of analytical models, methods and processes, including computer codes, which GE has developed, requested

, NRC approval of, and applied to perform evaluations of the BWR. The development of the evaluation process along with the interpretation and application of the analytical results is derived from the extensive experience database that constitutes a major GE asset.

(9) Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to j GE's competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making  :

opportunities. The fuel design is part of GE's comprehensive BWR safety and technology base, and its commercial value extends beyond the original development cost. The value of the technology base goes beyond the extensive physical database and analytical methodology and includes development of the expertise to determine and apply the appropriate evaluation process. In addition, the technology base includes the value derived from providing analyses done with NRC-approved methods.

, The research, development, engineering, analytical, and NRC review costs comprise a substantial investment of time and money by GE.

The precise value of the expertise to devise an evaluation process and apply the correct analytical methodology is difficult to quantify, but it clearly is substantial.

GE's competitive advantage will be lost if its competitors are able to use the results of the GE experience to no malize or verify their own process or if they are able to claim an equivalent

understanding by demonstrating that they can arrive at the same or similar conclusions.

  • , Attrchm:nt ~ GE Proprietary Information The value of this information to GE would be lost if the information were disclosed to the public. Making such information available to competitors without their having been required to undertake a similar expenditure of resources would unfairly provide competitors with a windfall, and deprive GE of the opportunity to exercise its competitive advantage to seek an adequate return on its large investment in developing these very valuable analytical tools.
