-"The intent of this report is to provide a descriptio'n of the fuel design, core load and a summary of the startup physics testing and power ascension program performed after the completion of the core reload.Performing the startup physics and power ascension testing validates important core parameters (as described in the ANSI standard 19.6.1).The major parts of the testing program are as follows: 1)Initial Criticality 2)Zero Power Physics Testing 3)Power Ascension Testing II.Fuel Desi n/Core Load The Cycle 5 core consists of Combustion Engineering fuel.There are 217 fuel assemblies utilized in the St.Lucie Unit 2 core.The core load for cycl'e 5 consisted of 80 fresh Batch G assemblies, 76 Batch F assemblies, 57 Batch E assemblies, and 4 Batch D assemblies.
A further breakdown of distinct sub-batches is contained in Table l.Two Batch D assemblies (D006, D008), three Batch E assemblies (E013, E004, E037)and two Batch F assemblies (F031, F020)were reconstituted and certified by Combustion Engineering as reusable.The Batch G assemblies are the first debris resistant design to be used at St.Lucie Unit 2.Debris resistance was achieved by lengthening the lower end cap from 0,641 to 3.370 inches.To accomplish this change and still maintain the active fuel length, the following specific changes were made: 1.The upper plenum length was reduced from 7.858 to 5.829 inches.To maintain plenum volume, the plenum spring was redesigned.
2.The overall length of the fuel rod was increased from 146.199 inches to 146.899 inches.3.The height of the lower end fitting was reduced by 0.700 inches to compensate for the longer fuel rods and preserve shoulder gap.
St.Lucie Unit 2, Cycle 5 Startu Ph sics Testin Re ort The region G fuel assemblies preserve the active fuel length, plenum volume, and the 2.147 inch shoulder gap.Batch G assemblies provide increased debris resistance with longer solid lower end caps while still being compatible with other CE assemblies.
The Cycle 5 core loading map is represented in Figure 1.The assembly serial numbers and Control Element Assembly ID numbers are given for each core location.Following the fuel shuffle and prior to the approach to criticality CEA drop tests were performed.
The objective of this t'est was to measure the travel time from the fully withdrawn position (UEL)to the ,907 inserted position under hot full flow conditions, as well as to verify correct operation of the CEA position indication system.The average CEA drop time was found to be 2.74'seconds with a maximum and minumum time of 2.92 seconds and 2.56 seconds respectively, All drop times were within the requirements of Technical Specification 3.1.3.4.III.A roach to Criticalit The approach to criticality was initiated by diluting from a non-critical Boron concentration of 2022 ppm to a predicted critical Boron concentration of 1659 ppm.Inverse count rate ratio plots were maintained during the dilution process and are shown in Figures 2&3.A plot of Boron concentration versus dilution time is provided in Figure 4.Table 2 delineates the dilution rate, initial and final Boron concentrations, and elapsed times.Initial Criticality for St.Lucie Unit 2 Cycle 5 was achieved at 2225 on April 23, 1989 with CEA Group 5 at 55 inches withdrawn and all other CEAs fully withdrawn.
IV.Zero Power Ph sics Testin The tests performed during the Zero Power Testing Program include: 1.Reactivity Computer Checkout 2.Unrodded Critical Boron Concentration 3.Moderator Temperature Coefficient Measurement 4.CEA worth measurments These tests are performed in accordance with the ANSI standard 19.6.1, including acceptance criteria unless superceded by Technical Specifications.
St.Lucie Unit 2, Cycle 5 Startu Ph s'ics Testin Re ort There are several checks done to ensure proper functioning of the Reactivity Computer.The Reactor power level/flux is adjusted such that all testing is conducted above the noise level and below the point of adding nuclear heat.Further verification of the proper operation of the reactivity computer was accomplished through measuring both the positive and negative reactor periods by adding known amounts of positive or negative, reactivity.
C The measured unrodded Critical Boron Concentration was determined to be 1705 ppm.The predicted unrodded Critical'oron Concentration was 1687 ppm.The measured value was well within the+100 ppm of the prediction acceptance criterion.
The ARO, HZP Moderator Temperature Coefficient was calculated from measured data, to be 3.65 pcm/oF, This satisfies Tech.Spec.3.1.1.4a.which requires that the MTC shall be less positive than 5 pcm/oF.The measured MTC was also well within the limit'f+2 pcm/oF of the design MTC value of 3.37 pcm/oF.The Rod Worth measurements were performed employing the Rod Swap methodology.
The integral worth of the Reference Bank, CEA group B, was determined by boration/dilution.
The integral worths of the test groups were determined by exchange with the Reference Bank.A comparison of the measured and design CEA group integral worths is provided in Table 3.The following acceptance criteria for rod worth measurements were met.1.The measured value of each test CEA group worths is within+15K or+100 pcm of the design worth, whichever is greater.2.The measured worth of the Reference Group and the total worth for all the CEA groups measured is within+107.of the total design worth.V.Power Ascension Flux maps from the fixed incore detector systems were used to verify the absence of abnormalities in the core power distribution, peaking factors, and tilt at the 25, 50, 80, and greater than or equal to 98 percent power plateaus.Nuclear and delta T power calibrations and a manual calorimetric check were performed at each of the power plateaus.A summary of the results of the flux mapping at each power level is given in Figures 5, 6, 7, and 8.
