ATTACHMENT B Nine Mile Point Unit 1 Nuclear Power Station Rod Mithdrawal Error Transient Analysis (Supplement to "Application of General Electric Thermal Analysis Basis (GETAB)," June'975)

August 1975

I.

Introduction This report presents the results of an analysis of the rod withdrawal error transient for Cycle 3.

This information is provided in response to Reference 1 and supplements that in Reference 2.

II.

Anal sis of Rod Withdrawal Error Transient Discussion of the rod withdrawal error transient analysis, including assumptions, is presented in Sections 6.2.4 and 6.3.3.2 of Reference 3.

A description of input to this analysis is presented in Section IV of Attachment B to Reference 2.

With the rod block setting at

1054, the Cycle 3 rod block response is shown'in Figures 24 and 25 of Reference 4.

The worst case HCPR at rod block is determined from the attached Figures 1 and 2.

As a result of this analysis, it is necessary that the 8 x 8 HCPR operating limit be increased to 1.25, in order to avoid violating the HCPR Safety Limit during a postulated rod wlthdrawal error transient.
