P A. INTRODUCTION In a letter dated March 23,1994 from J.A. Bauer to W.T. Russell, Co nmonwealth Edison -
Company (Comed) requested a Technical Specification Amendment allowing use of a. :
- Positive Moderator Temperature Coefficient (PMTC) and Reduced Thermal Design Flow (RTDF). This Amendment request was later supplemented in a letter dated July.26,.1994 from J.A. Bauer to W.T. Russell to provide additional cycle specific implementation' _.
footnotes for clarification. An additional letter dated August 16,1994, from D.
- Saccomando to W.T. Russell, transmitted responses to the NRC for an additional request' for information regarding the effects a positive MTC would have on the results of the J
~
- Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) analysis. ' Co.nEd subsequently received i approval of the proposed Technical Specification Amdment on October 21,1994 in a - i letter from G.F. Dick to D.L. Farrar. However, the approval specifically excluded the 'l proposed PMTC Technical Specification chan~ge.
Based on subsequent meetings, discussions, and correspondence with the NRC, Comed is ,
resubmitting the Technical Specification Amendment request allowing use of a PMTC. t' i
The proposed changes are consistent with Standard Technical Specifications for . . .
. Westinghouse Plants (NUREG-1431). That is, the Amendment requeet proposes that the
- MTC value be maintained within the limits specified in an operating limits cycle' specific T
j report with a maximum upper limit specified in the echnical Specifications. Therefore, j
- Comed proposes to expand the current Operating Limits Report (OLR) to include a cycle j
' specific M'IC value.
The MTC change would allow a nlightly positive MTC below 100 percent of rated full .
. power. The principal benefit of 15., change is that it would facilitate the design of future !
reload cycles and yield significant fuel cost savings. The safety analyses for the Byron l and Braidwood Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) transients were k a nla\bytwd\pmtesupl\2 f w, ,, --, , -.3 +- - , . , , --%w , . m y- , e - , . - -=
previously based on a maximum MTC being less than or equal to 0 pcm/*F at all times when the reactor is critical. The proposed change to the Technical Specifications would allow a maximum upper limit of +7 pcm/*F MTC for power levels up to 70 percent with a linear ramp to O pcm/*F at 100 percent power. However, the proposed Technical Specification would require that the cycle specific MTC value be maintained within the limits specified in the Operating Limits Report (OLR). The basis for the MTC limit is to ensure that the value of the coefficient remains within the limits assumed in the UFSAR accident and transient analyses. In keeping with this basis, the necessary accident and transient analyses were performed with the new MTC values to ensure that the results remain within all design and safety criteria. The analysis provides the basis for the proposed MTC Technical Specification change. This analysis, WCAP-13964 " Byron and Braidwood Units 1 and 2 Increased SGTP/ Reduced TDF/PMTC Analysis Program Engineering / Licensing Report", was provided in Attachment 5 of the March 23,1994 submittal.
To accammodate the positive MTC changes and the potential oflengthened reload fuel cycles due to increased energy requirements, Technical Specification changes are also required to meet shutdown margin requirements (SDM). To assure suberiticality requ'.rements are met following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), the boron emcentration is increased in the refueling water storage tank (RWST) and the safety injection accumulators. These changes have already been approved by the NRC in response to the original submittal.
Determination of a cycle specific MTC value will include an evaluation of Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) risk on a deterministic basis, since the ATWS rule was based in part on a given MTC value. The Unfavorable Exposure Time (UET) methodology will be used for evaluating ATWS risk on a deterministic basis. A UET value will be calculated each cycle. UET is defined as the amount of time during the operating cycle for which the reactivity feedback is not suflicient to prevent Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure from exceeding 3200 psig for a given plant configuration. The ATWS risk is considered acceptable for a UET ofless than 5% of cycle length. This UET value will be updated for each core reload and appropriately considers the effects of changes in MTC, including any variations that are more adverse than those originally modeled in the analyses supporting the basis for the final ATWS rule. .

- 1. The proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or !
consequences of an accident previously evaluated. j i
An analysis program was pursued by Commonwealth Edison to justify a positive MTC, reduced reactor coolant system thermal design flow, and increased steam generator tube plugging levels. This analysis identified a need for corresponding increases in the boron concentration levels in the refueling water storage tank (RWST) and safety irdection accumulators to assure suberiticality requirements are i met following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). The increases in boron concentration are based on the maximum upper limit of the MTC. The corresponding Technical Specification changes required as a result of this analysis program were previously approved by the NRC, including the increases in boron ;

result in a small increase in offsite doses; however, the total doses remain a small -

UET is defined as the amount of time during the operating cycle for which the! j reactivity feedback is not sufficient to prevent Reactor Coolant' System (RCS) ;

The UET j methodology is consistent with the Westinghouse Owner's Group methodology i presented in WCAP 11992, "ATWS Rule Administration Process" and WCAP j 11993, " Assessment of Compliance with ATWS Rule Basis for Westinghouse: l PWRs". Corrective actions will be taken, as necessary, to assure a UET ofless than 5% of cycle length.

will continue to operate within the _ cycle-specific MTC limits contained in the OLR. 4 The propose' amendment will require exactly the same action to be taken when :

Any change to the siTC values in the OLR will be performed based on NRC- j t
approved methodology as delineated in Section 6.9.1.9 of the Technical Specifications.

specific values are calculated using NRC-approved methods 'and submitted to.the ;
NRC to allow the Staff to continue w trend these limits. The Technical :i Specifications will continue to require operation within the analyzed core operating limits and appropriate actions will be taken, when, or if, the limits are exceeded.

The dev'elopment of the'MTC limits for future reloads will continue to conform to f those methods described in the NRC-approved documentation.- In addition, each
. future reload will involve a 10CFR50.59 safety review to assure that operation of-
' the unit within the cycle specific limits will not involve a reduction in the margin

Therefore, there is no significant redu' ction in the margin of safety as defined in . i the bases of any Technical Specification.
Based on th'e above evaluation, Commonwealth Edison has concluded that implementation of a positive MTC does not involve a significant hazards consideration .
