Thisreportisasupplementtothecycle5SafetyAnalysisReportforD.C.CookUnit2.Themainreportaddressedtheoperatinghistoryofthereferencecycle,powerdistributionconsiderations,controlrodreactivityrequirements,temperaturecoefficientconsiderations,andthecontrolrodejectionaccidentanalysis.ThisreportpresentsresultsofECCSLOCA,thermalmargin,rodbow,andradiologicalassessmentanalyses.TheECCSLOCAandplanttransientanalyseswereperformedtosupportoperationoftheD.C.CookUnit2reactorwith5Xofthesteamgeneratortubesplugged.Therodbowanalysiswasperformedbecauserodbowresultsaredependentontheplanttransientpredictionsfor5Itubeplugging.TheradiologicalassessmentwasredoneusingENC'scurrentradiologicalassessmentmethodology,whichnowin-cludesthegenericallyapprovedversionofRODEX2.

2.XN-NF-83-85,Supplement12.0SUMMARYTheD.C.CookUnit2nuclear'plantisscheduledtobegincycle5operationinthespringof1984.Thereload(reloadbatchXN-2)willconsistofninety-twofresh17x17fuelassembliesdesignedbyExxonNuclearCompany.Adescriptionofthecyclecharacteristicsaswellasthereferencecycleareprovidedinthemaincycle5SafetyAnalysisReport(>)alongwiththefueldescription.Inanticipationofsteamgeneratortubedegradation,AmericanElec-tricPowerrequestedExxonNucleartoprovidetheanalysesneededtosupportoperationofD.C.'ookUnit2withupto5Xofthetubesplugged.TheECCSLOCAandplanttransientanalysesrequiredtosupportoperationwith"upto5Xtubeplugging,areprovidedinReferences2and3,respectively.Forthecycle4design,thefuelburnupandplantpowerwereincreased.Thereforeanassessmentwasmadeofthepotentialradiologicalconsequencesofthepostulatedaccidents(4).TheNRChadnotcompletedthegenericreviewofRODEX2whichistheExxonNuclearfuelperformancecode,whichwasusedaspartoftheradiologicalassessment.Thereviewhasnowbeencompleted,andtheanalysisredoneusi'ngtheapprovedversion.Theresultsofreanalyses(5)showthatthepreviousassessmentprovidesboundingpredictions.Arodbowevaluation,requiredforassemblyburnupsgreaterthan28,000MWD/MTU,wasdoneusingthegenericallyapprovedExxonNuclearmethodology.TheresultsindicatedthattherewasmarginbetweentheDNBRlimitandtheminimumDNBRevenwiththecalculatedpenaltyforrodbow.Also,thecalculationsshowedthatthetotalpeakinguncertaintywas XN-NF-83-85Supplement1withindesigntolerances.Therefore,thereisnoimpactonthedesignfromrodbow.

XN-NF-83-85Supplement17.0ASSESSMENTOFRADIOLOGICALCONSEUENCESOFACCIDENTSAnanalysisofthebiologicaldosesreceivedfromradiologicalreleaseduringaccidentsinvolvinghighexposurefuelwasdocumentedinReference4andsubmittedforcycle4operationofD.C.CookUnit2.ThatreportdemonstratedthattheExxonNuclearfuelwouldnotviolatethe104CFR100off-siteradiationdoselimitsafteroperatingthereactorwithincreasedcorepowerandirradiatingthefueltoabatchaverageexposureof40,000MWD/MTU.Theisotopicreleasefractionsfromthefuelwerecalculatedwiththethen-currentversionoftheRODEX2fuelperformancecode.Subsequenttothatanalysis,arevisedversionofRODEX2receivedfinalgenericapprovalfromtheNRC.Therefore,thepotentialdoseswerereanalyzedusingtheapprovedRODEX2tocalculatethereleasefrac-tions(5).Theresultsofthatreanalysisshowedthepreviousassessmenttobebounding,i.e.,thepreviousassessmentpredictedlargerpotentialdoses.
