Framatome Technologies Inc. (FTI) (formerly B&W Nuclear Technologies) updated the analysis of the low tempeiature overpressure (LTOP) events for the Rochester Gas and Electric (RGE) R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station (hereafter referred to as the Ginna plant).

The analyses shown in this document become the new analyses of record for the Ginna Station. RGE has received approval to utilize ASME Code Case N-514, which among other things raises the allowable pressure to 110% of the Appendix G limit.
During LTOP events, the reactor vessel temperatures and pressures approach the Appendix G limits.The LTOP system is designed to ensure that the reactor vessel embrittlement limits are not exceeded.LTOP events can occur during cold shutdown, heatup or cooldown.To provide protection against exceeding the Appendix G limits, the Power Operated Relief Valves (PORV)on the pressurizer are reset to a low setpoint, whenever the reactor coolant system temperature is less than,322'F.
The results of the analyses of the limiting LTOP events were compared with 110% of the 10CFR50 Appendix G and residual heat removal system(RHR) overpressure limits. In all cases, the peak reactor vessel and RHR system pressures were within the applicable limits.
Two types of overpressurization events are considered.
The purpose of this revision is to present the results of additional cases that show the effects of various combinations of reactor coolant (RC) pump and RHR pump operation.
The first type of event is a mass addition event and the second type of event is a heat addition event.2.1 LTOP EVENTS INITIATED BY MASS ADDITION The mass addition events are characterized by addition of mass to a water-solid primary system.This can occur during a shutdown situation, if the charging pumps or if the safety injection(SI) pumps are started inadvertently.
2.0 DISCUSSION OF LTOP EVENTS The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, dated May 1988 (Reference 1) discusses the effects of neutron irradiation embrittlement of low alloy steels used in the reactor vessel. Appendix G of Chapter 10, Part 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations giv'es the fracture toughness requirements for the reactor vessel under low temperature conditions. During LTOP events, the reactor vessel temperatures and pressures approach the Appendix G limits. The LTOP system is designed to ensure that the reactor vessel embrittlement limits are not exceeded.
Technical Specification I'  
LTOP events can occur during cold shutdown, heatup or cooldown. To provide protection against exceeding the Appendix G limits, the Power Operated Relief Valves (PORV) on the pressurizer are reset to a low setpoint, whenever the reactor coolant system temperature is less than,322'F. Two types of overpressurization events are considered. The first type of event is a mass addition event and the second type of event is a heat addition event.
'CI FTI Non-Proprietary 86-1 23482043 limits on Sl pump operability and discharge valve position eliminate the mass injection case due to a high head Sl pump start, unless protection is provided by a vent path of at least 1.1 square inches.With no vent;with three Sl pumps inoperable by Technical Specification limits, an inadvertent Sl signal will not cause an Sl pump start.Since the possibility of the startup of three charging pumps with letdown isolated can be postulated, this case is analyzed as a mass-addition event, when protection is provided by only the PORVs.The lower limit of the primary temperature for mass addition by charging pump operation is 60'F.Above this temperature, the possibility exists that two RC pumps may be running and three charging pumps may be inadvertently started.This case also has been analyzed, with a conservative primary temperature of 60'F and compared with the ASME Code Case N-514 limit at 60'F, to show acceptability.

'CI FTI Non-Proprietary                                   86-1 23482043 limits on Sl pump operability and discharge valve position eliminate the mass injection case due to a high head Sl pump start, unless protection is provided by a vent path of at least 1.1 square inches. With no vent; with three Sl pumps inoperable by Technical Specification limits, an inadvertent Sl signal will not cause an Sl pump start. Since the possibility of the startup of three charging pumps with letdown isolated can be postulated, this case is analyzed as a mass-addition event, when protection is provided by only the PORVs.
The lower limit of the primary temperature for mass addition by charging pump operation is 60'F. Above this temperature, the possibility exists that two RC pumps may be running and three charging pumps may be inadvertently started. This case also has been analyzed, with a conservative primary temperature of 60'F and compared with the ASME Code Case N-514 limit at 60'F, to show acceptability.
This is the most limiting mass addition case for Appendix G criterion.
This is the most limiting mass addition case for Appendix G criterion.
With a primary vent of size 1.1 square inches open to the atmosphere, startup of one Sl pump is allowed.This mass addition event is analyzed at primary temperatures of 60'F and 212'F to bound the range of possible RC conditions in this configuration with no RC pumps running.When the vent is open, the PORVs are not credited as pressure limiting devices.2.2 LTOP EVENTS INITIATED BY HEAT ADDITION The heat addition events are characterized by an addition of heat to a water-solid primary system.Heat can be added to the primary system by the actuation of pressurizer heaters, loss of the residual heat removal system (RHR)cooling, or two types of reactor coolant (RC)pump startups while a temperature asymmetry exists in the RC loops.The inadvertent actuation of the pressurizer heaters when the pressurizer is water solid will cause a slow rise in the water temperature and inciease in pressure, if the installed automatic pressure control equipment is not in service.Since this pressure transient is very slow, the operator should recognize and terminate the transient before an unacceptable pressure is reached.If the operator does not terminate the'ransient, the pressure will increase and will be terminated by the PORV with little or no overshoot above the PORV setpoint.This case is not significant to the design of the LTOP system.The loss of RHR cooling when the reactor coolant system(RCS) is water solid could be caused by a loss of flow malfunction in the component cooling water or service water systems, or the closure of the RHRs inlet isolation valves.This would cause a slow rise in temperature and pressure since there would be a continual release of core residual heat into the reactor coolant with no heat removal.This transient is also very slow and the operator has sufficient time to mitigate the event.The first type of temperature asymmetry can occur if the reactor coolant is at a relatively warm temperature with little or no natural circulation and cold reactor coolant pump seal injection water continues to enter the system.The cooler injection FTI Non-Proprietary 86-123482043 water will settle in a pool in the loop seal.The pressure transient is initiated by starting one reactor coolant pump.As the pump comes up to speed, the reactor coolant flowrate slowly increases in the active loop and the pool of cold water will be drawn up into the pump and discharged out the cold leg piping.Simultaneously, the pool of cold water in the inactive loop will flow backward through the steam generator at a flowrate significantly less than that of the active loop.As this pool of cold water flows through the steam generator, the temperature will increase due to heat transfer from the'secondary side of the steam generator.
With a primary vent of size 1.1 square inches open to the atmosphere, startup of one Sl pump is allowed. This mass addition event is analyzed at primary temperatures of 60'F and 212'F to bound the range of possible RC conditions in this configuration with no RC pumps running. When the vent is open, the PORVs are not credited as pressure limiting devices.
This causes expansion of the primary side water and an increasing pressure transient.
2.2 LTOP EVENTS INITIATEDBY HEAT ADDITION The heat addition events are characterized by an addition of heat to a water-solid primary system. Heat can be added to the primary system by the actuation of pressurizer heaters, loss of the residual heat removal system (RHR) cooling, or two types of reactor coolant (RC) pump startups while a temperature asymmetry exists in the RC loops.
The second type of temperature asymmetry occurs when the RCS has been cooled without sufficient circulation.
The inadvertent actuation of the pressurizer heaters when the pressurizer is water solid will cause a slow rise in the water temperature and inciease in pressure, if the installed automatic pressure control equipment is not in service. Since this pressure transient is very slow, the operator should recognize and terminate the transient before an unacceptable pressure is reached. If the operator does not terminate the
This could occur when the RHR system is used to cool the RCS without use of any reactor coolant pumps.Under these conditions, the water in the steam generator secondary side and the primary side will be in thermal equilibrium at a temperature higher than that of the reactor coolant.If one RC pump is inadvertently started under these conditions, the RCS flowrate increases and the cold water from the RCS enters the SG tubes.This results in the transfer of heat from the secondary to the primary system, causing the primary system liquid to expand and the primary system to pressurize.
'ransient, the pressure will increase and will be terminated by the PORV with little or no overshoot above the PORV setpoint. This case is not significant to the design of the LTOP system.
This is a relatively fast event and, because of the transfer of heat from the secondary system to the primary system, this event is the most limiting heat addition transient.
The loss of RHR cooling when the reactor coolant system(RCS) is water solid could be caused by a loss of flow malfunction in the component cooling water or service water systems, or the closure of the RHRs inlet isolation valves. This would cause a slow rise in temperature and pressure since there would be a continual release of core residual heat into the reactor coolant with no heat removal. This transient is also very slow and the operator has sufficient time to mitigate the event.
The first type of temperature asymmetry can occur if the reactor coolant is at a relatively warm temperature with little or no natural circulation and cold reactor coolant pump seal injection water continues to enter the system. The cooler injection
 
FTI Non-Proprietary                                   86-123482043 water will settle in a pool in the loop seal. The pressure transient is initiated by starting one reactor coolant pump. As the pump comes up to speed, the reactor coolant flowrate slowly increases in the active loop and the pool of cold water will be drawn up into the pump and discharged out the cold leg piping. Simultaneously, the pool of cold water in the inactive loop will flow backward through the steam generator at a flowrate significantly less than that of the active loop. As this pool of cold water flows through the steam generator, the temperature will increase due to heat transfer from the'secondary side of the steam generator. This causes expansion of the primary side water and an increasing pressure transient.
The second type of temperature asymmetry occurs when the RCS has been cooled without sufficient circulation. This could occur when the RHR system is used to cool the RCS without use of any reactor coolant pumps. Under these conditions, the water in the steam generator secondary side and the primary side will be in thermal equilibrium at a temperature higher than that of the reactor coolant. If one RC pump is inadvertently started under these conditions, the RCS flowrate increases and the cold water from the RCS enters the SG tubes. This results in the transfer of heat from the secondary to the primary system, causing the primary system liquid to expand and the primary system to pressurize. This is a relatively fast event and, because of the transfer of heat from the secondary system to the primary system, this event is the most limiting heat addition transient.
In the heat addition events, both RHR pumps or only one may be operating.
In the heat addition events, both RHR pumps or only one may be operating.

The mass addition cases have a range of initial primary temperatures and mass additions, simulating charging and safety injection pump operation at various possible initial temperature conditions, with assumptions on RC pump operation, and operation of RCS vent.
In addition, two cases with Sl pump startup were analyzed, one with the primary system at 60'F and one with a temperature of 212'F.In these cases, the PORV is not credited for preventing overpressurization.
The limiting mass addition case, the inadvertent startup of three charging pumps, was analyzed at a primary temperature of 60'F with two RC pumps operating.
Instead, a 1.1 square inch vent was modeled on top of the pressurizer, because Sl pump operability is controlled by procedure when the vent is open.The upper temperature limit of 212'F is based on saturation temperature at atmospheric conditions.

The limiting heat addition case is the inadvertent start of a reactor coolant pump following RCS cooldown solely with the RHR system. This event was analyzed at
 
FTI Non-Proprietary                                    86-1 234820-03 RCS temperatures of 60'F, 85 'F, 280'F and 320 'F with the SG liquid temperature 50 degrees hotter than the RCS. The various combinations of RHR system were modeled. The transient is analyzed at 60 'F since it is the lower limit of the Appendix G limits and has the lowest pressure limit for the acceptance criterion. The event is analyzed at 320'F because this is the maximum credible temperature at which a secondary-to-primary temperature difference of 50'F can be achieved.
Specifically, the reactor coolant pumps may be tripped at 350'F. With instrument uncertainties, the temperature could be as high as 370'F. If the RCS is subsequently cooled to obtain the maximum allowed temperature difference (50'F),
the RC pump start could occur at 320'F. This heat addition event is the most limiting for the RHR overpressurization.
The various cases run are shown in Table    1 for easy reference.
4.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
-
The acceptance criteria for the LTOP events are:

The passive metal includes the reactor vessel walls, the reactor internals, the fuel end fittings, the hot and cold leg pipe walls, pressurizer walls, the steam generator primary side metal and the steam generator secondary side metal.
The secondary and primary fluid in the steam generators were initialized at a temperature 50 degrees above the primary system;The RHR system was assumed to be operating with a capacity of 1700 gpm with one pump running (320'F case as specified in Attachment C of Reference 4)or 2000 gpm with two pumps running (60'F and the 85'F cases, consistent with minimum flow rates under these conditions).
The steam generator tube metal was modeled as part of the active heat structures. The steam line metal and the RHR system passive metal were not modeled.
The transient was initiated by starting a reactor coolant pump in the loop that contains the pressurizer.
The RHR system was modeled as two parallel trains with two separate pumps and cross connects. Two heat exchangers were modeled as control volumes with no heat removal since the heat exchangers were assumed to maintain a constant temperature in the RCS during the LTOP analyses. The RHR relief valve was attached to the RHR system near the cold leg connection. The RHR relief valve was benchmarked for flow under the design conditions.

6.1            Mass Addition Cases 6.1.1          Case    1 The mass addition case identified as Case 1 is initialized at a primary temperature of 85'F and a primary pressure of 315 psig.

FTl Non-Proprietary                                      86-1 234820-03 heat, so it is not modelled. The event is initiated by starting three pump charging flow (180 gpm or 25 Ib/s). The analysis is run for ten minutes. The sequence of events for this case is shown in Table 6. Plots of the reactor vessel pressure and pressure at RHR system suction point in the hot leg are shown on Figures 4 8 5, respectively (Reference 4).
The peak reactor vessel pressure was 480.2 psia. The allowable pressure, according to the Appendix G limit (Code Case N-514) at 85' is 618.7 psia.
Therefore, there is 138A psi margin to the Appendix G acceptance criterion.
To compare the peak pressure in the RHR system with the acceptance criterion, the pressure drop from the hot leg to the RHR pump discharge (128.1 psi, from Reference 4) was added to the peak hot leg pressure. This case yielded a peak RHR pressure of 598.4 psia. The peak allowable pressure in the RHR system is 674.7 psia. This results in a 76.3 psi margin to the acceptance criterion. The RHR flow is assumed to be 1700 gpm in this case, for the calculation of peak RHR pressure.

No RC pump is running in this transient. The transient is initiated by starting one Sl pump. A pressurizer vent of 1.1 square inches area is open. This case also has the secondary system disconnected from the primary in the model. No RHR system is modeled .
Since the primary system is at atmospheric pressure at the top of the pressurizer, the steam generator top-most region inside the tubes will experience pressures lower than atmosphere and hence, steam bubbles can form in this region at 212'F. Steam voids in the system could yield non-conservative results by increasing the compressibility of the reactor coolant. To prevent void formation, the steam generator was initialized separate from the primary system and at a temperature below the saturation temperature.
The transient is initiated by connecting the steam generators to the RCS and by starting an Sl pump. With the starting of one SI pump, the primary system pressurizes until the flow out of the vent balances the flow from the Sl pump.
The peak pressure reached is below the PORV setpoint. The PORVs are not credited in this case.
The reactor vessel reaches a peak pressure of 396.72 psia. The allowable pressure at this temperature is approximately 780.3 psia.

The peak pressure in the RHR system in this case with 2000 gpm of RHR flow(i.e.two RHR pumps running)is 663.5 psia.The RHR system passes the structural acceptance criterion set for the RHR system by a margin of 11.2 psi.The most limiting heat addition case is the start of a reactor coolant pump with the primary system at 60'F.The peak reactor vessel pressure reached in tljy transient was 551.25 psia.The Appendix G(Code Case N-514)limit is 608g7 psia.Hence, this case passes with a margin of 57.@$si.The peak pressure at the RHR pump discharge for this case was 649.96 psia as compared with an acceptance limit of 674.7 psia.The margin in the RHR system is 24.74 psi.For the RHR system, the limiting event is a reactor coolant pump start with both the RHR pumps running and the primary initial temperature at 280'F.In this case, the peak RHR pressure reached is 663.66 psia as compared with an allowable of 674.70 psia.Above 280'F primary temperature, only one RHR pump will be running, yielding a greater margin to the pressure limit.
Robert E.Ginna Nuclear Power Station. This analysis becomes the new analysis of record for RGE. In this effort, a spectrum of LTOP events to bound all possible operational configurations was analyzed and the results compared to the acceptance criteria of the Appendix G limits for embrittlement and the RHR overpressure structural design limit.
FTI Non-Proprietary 86-123482043 When the plant is in a configuration in which the pressurizer vent(1.1 sq.inches) is open, the primary system pressure will be at atmospheric pressure in the pressurizer.
The most limiting mass addition case analyzed is a case with three charging pumps turned on when the primary system is at 60'F with two RC pumps running. This resulted in a peak pressure in the reactor vessel of 587.44 psia, which is lower than the Appendix G(Code Case N-514) limit at this temperature.
No RC pump will be allowed to run under vented conditions since NPSH will not be available to run any pump.The most limiting mass addition for this plant condition is the start of an Sl pump when the initial primary temperature is at 60'F.This case has y pegreactor vessel pressure of~'$sia, which is less than the Appendix GfimiFby, psi.The peak RHR ressure in this case is." sia as compared wi'ie allowable presssure of 674.70 psia.Conseq6ent, this case bounded by start of a charging pump at 60'F with the pressurizer vent closed and PORV operable.The summary of results of all LTOP cases is shown in Table 15.
The peak pressure in the RHR system in this case with 2000 gpm of RHR flow(

i.e. two RHR pumps running ) is 663.5 psia. The RHR system passes the structural acceptance criterion set for the RHR system by a margin of 11.2 psi.
The most limiting heat addition case is the start of a reactor coolant pump with the primary system at 60 'F. The peak reactor vessel pressure reached in tljy transient was 551.25 psia. The Appendix G(Code Case N-514) limit is 608g7 psia. Hence, this case passes with a margin of 57.@$ si. The peak pressure at the RHR pump discharge for this case was 649.96 psia as compared with an acceptance limit of 674.7 psia. The margin in the RHR system is 24.74 psi.
For the RHR system, the limiting event is a reactor coolant pump start with both the RHR pumps running and the primary initial temperature at 280'F. In this case, the peak RHR pressure reached is 663.66 psia as compared with an allowable of 674.70 psia. Above 280'F primary temperature, only one RHR pump will be running, yielding a greater margin to the pressure limit.

Specifically:

The assumptions used in the calculation are appropriate for the Ginna Station with either Westinghouse Model 44 steam generators or BWI RSGs.

2. The transients selected are the correct limiting transients for the Ginna LTOPS design. Several cases were run which demonstrate bounding conditions'pecifically:
a. Case 2A bounds all credible mass addition transients for which protection is provided by the pressurizer PORVs.
b. Cases 3 and 4 bound all credible mass addition transients for which protection is provided by a RCS vent > 1.1 in'.
c. Case 5 bounds all credible heat addition cases.
d. Cases 7 and 9 demonstrate adec{uate protection for the RHR system.
3. Since peak pressure for all transients is less than 800 psig, PORV tailpipe waterhammer is not a concern.
4. The analysis is done for an LTOPS actuation setpoint of 430 psig. This allows sufficient margin from a nominal setpoint of 410 psig to account for instrument error.

5. A low pressure limit, to protect an RCP seal, cannot be accommodated by a single LTOPS setpoint without unacceptable high pressure results. Therefore, this criteria is waived.

The following comments are applicable to the approval of this document and have been so marked in the document:

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Framatome Technologies Inc. (FTI) (formerly B&W Nuclear Technologies) updated the analysis of the low tempeiature overpressure (LTOP) events for the Rochester Gas and Electric (RGE) R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Station (hereafter referred to as the Ginna plant).

The analyses shown in this document become the new analyses of record for the Ginna Station. RGE has received approval to utilize ASME Code Case N-514, which among other things raises the allowable pressure to 110% of the Appendix G limit.

The results of the analyses of the limiting LTOP events were compared with 110% of the 10CFR50 Appendix G and residual heat removal system(RHR) overpressure limits. In all cases, the peak reactor vessel and RHR system pressures were within the applicable limits.

The purpose of this revision is to present the results of additional cases that show the effects of various combinations of reactor coolant (RC) pump and RHR pump operation.

2.0 DISCUSSION OF LTOP EVENTS The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2, dated May 1988 (Reference 1) discusses the effects of neutron irradiation embrittlement of low alloy steels used in the reactor vessel. Appendix G of Chapter 10, Part 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations giv'es the fracture toughness requirements for the reactor vessel under low temperature conditions. During LTOP events, the reactor vessel temperatures and pressures approach the Appendix G limits. The LTOP system is designed to ensure that the reactor vessel embrittlement limits are not exceeded.

LTOP events can occur during cold shutdown, heatup or cooldown. To provide protection against exceeding the Appendix G limits, the Power Operated Relief Valves (PORV) on the pressurizer are reset to a low setpoint, whenever the reactor coolant system temperature is less than,322'F. Two types of overpressurization events are considered. The first type of event is a mass addition event and the second type of event is a heat addition event.

2.1 LTOP EVENTS INITIATEDBY MASS ADDITION The mass addition events are characterized by addition of mass to a water-solid primary system. This can occur during a shutdown situation, if the charging pumps or if the safety injection(SI) pumps are started inadvertently. Technical Specification I'

'CI FTI Non-Proprietary 86-1 23482043 limits on Sl pump operability and discharge valve position eliminate the mass injection case due to a high head Sl pump start, unless protection is provided by a vent path of at least 1.1 square inches. With no vent; with three Sl pumps inoperable by Technical Specification limits, an inadvertent Sl signal will not cause an Sl pump start. Since the possibility of the startup of three charging pumps with letdown isolated can be postulated, this case is analyzed as a mass-addition event, when protection is provided by only the PORVs.

The lower limit of the primary temperature for mass addition by charging pump operation is 60'F. Above this temperature, the possibility exists that two RC pumps may be running and three charging pumps may be inadvertently started. This case also has been analyzed, with a conservative primary temperature of 60'F and compared with the ASME Code Case N-514 limit at 60'F, to show acceptability.

This is the most limiting mass addition case for Appendix G criterion.

With a primary vent of size 1.1 square inches open to the atmosphere, startup of one Sl pump is allowed. This mass addition event is analyzed at primary temperatures of 60'F and 212'F to bound the range of possible RC conditions in this configuration with no RC pumps running. When the vent is open, the PORVs are not credited as pressure limiting devices.

2.2 LTOP EVENTS INITIATEDBY HEAT ADDITION The heat addition events are characterized by an addition of heat to a water-solid primary system. Heat can be added to the primary system by the actuation of pressurizer heaters, loss of the residual heat removal system (RHR) cooling, or two types of reactor coolant (RC) pump startups while a temperature asymmetry exists in the RC loops.

The inadvertent actuation of the pressurizer heaters when the pressurizer is water solid will cause a slow rise in the water temperature and inciease in pressure, if the installed automatic pressure control equipment is not in service. Since this pressure transient is very slow, the operator should recognize and terminate the transient before an unacceptable pressure is reached. If the operator does not terminate the

'ransient, the pressure will increase and will be terminated by the PORV with little or no overshoot above the PORV setpoint. This case is not significant to the design of the LTOP system.

The loss of RHR cooling when the reactor coolant system(RCS) is water solid could be caused by a loss of flow malfunction in the component cooling water or service water systems, or the closure of the RHRs inlet isolation valves. This would cause a slow rise in temperature and pressure since there would be a continual release of core residual heat into the reactor coolant with no heat removal. This transient is also very slow and the operator has sufficient time to mitigate the event.

The first type of temperature asymmetry can occur if the reactor coolant is at a relatively warm temperature with little or no natural circulation and cold reactor coolant pump seal injection water continues to enter the system. The cooler injection

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-123482043 water will settle in a pool in the loop seal. The pressure transient is initiated by starting one reactor coolant pump. As the pump comes up to speed, the reactor coolant flowrate slowly increases in the active loop and the pool of cold water will be drawn up into the pump and discharged out the cold leg piping. Simultaneously, the pool of cold water in the inactive loop will flow backward through the steam generator at a flowrate significantly less than that of the active loop. As this pool of cold water flows through the steam generator, the temperature will increase due to heat transfer from the'secondary side of the steam generator. This causes expansion of the primary side water and an increasing pressure transient.

The second type of temperature asymmetry occurs when the RCS has been cooled without sufficient circulation. This could occur when the RHR system is used to cool the RCS without use of any reactor coolant pumps. Under these conditions, the water in the steam generator secondary side and the primary side will be in thermal equilibrium at a temperature higher than that of the reactor coolant. If one RC pump is inadvertently started under these conditions, the RCS flowrate increases and the cold water from the RCS enters the SG tubes. This results in the transfer of heat from the secondary to the primary system, causing the primary system liquid to expand and the primary system to pressurize. This is a relatively fast event and, because of the transfer of heat from the secondary system to the primary system, this event is the most limiting heat addition transient.

In the heat addition events, both RHR pumps or only one may be operating.

Therefore events with one and two RHR pumps are analyzed at various initial primary temperatures, to bound the limits of operation.

3.0 EVENTS ANALYZED A spectrum of mass addition cases were analyzed. The mass addition cases have a range of initial primary temperatures and mass additions, simulating charging and safety injection pump operation at various possible initial temperature conditions, with assumptions on RC pump operation, and operation of RCS vent.

The limiting mass addition case, the inadvertent startup of three charging pumps, was analyzed at a primary temperature of 60'F with two RC pumps operating.

In addition, two cases with Sl pump startup were analyzed, one with the primary system at 60'F and one with a temperature of 212'F. In these cases, the PORV is not credited for preventing overpressurization. Instead, a 1.1 square inch vent was modeled on top of the pressurizer, because Sl pump operability is controlled by procedure when the vent is open. The upper temperature limit of 212'F is based on saturation temperature at atmospheric conditions. Sixty degrees is the lower limit of the Appendix G curves.

The limiting heat addition case is the inadvertent start of a reactor coolant pump following RCS cooldown solely with the RHR system. This event was analyzed at

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-1 234820-03 RCS temperatures of 60'F, 85 'F, 280'F and 320 'F with the SG liquid temperature 50 degrees hotter than the RCS. The various combinations of RHR system were modeled. The transient is analyzed at 60 'F since it is the lower limit of the Appendix G limits and has the lowest pressure limit for the acceptance criterion. The event is analyzed at 320'F because this is the maximum credible temperature at which a secondary-to-primary temperature difference of 50'F can be achieved.

Specifically, the reactor coolant pumps may be tripped at 350'F. With instrument uncertainties, the temperature could be as high as 370'F. If the RCS is subsequently cooled to obtain the maximum allowed temperature difference (50'F),

the RC pump start could occur at 320'F. This heat addition event is the most limiting for the RHR overpressurization.

The various cases run are shown in Table 1 for easy reference.

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-123482043 5.0 METHODOLOGY The LTOP transient analyses were performed using the RELAP5/MOD2-B8W Version 20 (Reference 5) computer code, which has received full certification at Framatome Technologies Incorporated(FTI). RELAP5/MOD2 B8W is a two-fluid, six equation', nonhomogeneous, nonequilibrium thermal-hydraulic code developed for best-estimate transient analysis of pressurized water reactors and associated systems. The code has options to consider equilibrium, homogeneous hydrodynamic control volumes and a limited ability to calculate conditions for co-existing noncondensibles. The numerical solution technique is semi-implicit finite differencing. RELAP5 is a highly flexible code that, in addition to calculating NSS behavior, can be used for simulation of a wide variety of thermal-hydraulic transients'.

RELAP5/MOD2-BBW has special process models that are not available in the

'ndustry version of the code (Reference 3). The only such process model used in these LTOP analyses is the Henry-Fauske extended subcooled critical flow model. For those instances when the pressurizer PORV experienced critical flow, the extended Henry-Fauske critical flow model is used rather than the Ransom-Trapp model. The extended Henry-Fauske model was used because it is widely accepted for use over the range of conditions experienced in these analyses and because the Ransom-Trapp model overpredicts the test data using a discharge coefficient of 1.0

~

(Reference 3). Use of the Henry-Fauske model is therefore, conservative.

The plant model that was employed for the LTOP analyses included two complete reactor coolant loops including RC pumps and steam generators.

The secondary side included steam lines, main steam safety valves (MSSVs),

main steam isolation valves (MSIVs), and turbine stop valves. A noding diagram of the RELAP5/MOD2 model is shown in Figure1. The steam generator model used for the analyses is a simulation of the U-tube replacement steam generator designed by BWI. The feedwater systems and the auxiliary feedwater systems were not modeled since these are not functioning during the LTOP events.

The primary system has a reactor vessel model with two equal and parallel core paths for adjusting the mixing of loop flows in the lower plenum. This feature was not used in the LTOP analyses as this is not required. The core had six axial nodes and a core bypass with three nodes. The upper and the lower plenum volumes were common to both the loops, whereas the downcomer was split into two parallel set of volumes. A noding diagram of the reactor vessel is shown in Figure 2.

The pressurizer was modeled as a ten node vertical pipe component and was initialized liquid solid. One PORV was attached to the top node of the pressurizer. Only one PORV was modeled because the other PORV was 15

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-1 23482043 assumed to fail closed. The PORV was set to lift when the pump suction pressure on the loop with the pressurizer exceeded 430 psig, consistent with the location of the pressure transmitters and instrument error. The PORV was sized to deliver 49.722 Ibm/s saturated steam at 2335 psig. The opening stroke time was 1.0 second using the Cv characteristics in Table 3. The model contained the piping from the PORV to the pressurizer relief tank (PRT) as well as the PRT with a rupture disc. The nitrogen blanket on the PRT was modeled.

The RC pumps were modeled as centrifugal pumps with the homologous curves representing the performance under various conditions. The pump performance curves shown in the UFSAR were used as the basis for the active octants in this pump model.

The passive metal of the whole system was modeled for the LTOP analyses.

The passive metal includes the reactor vessel walls, the reactor internals, the fuel end fittings, the hot and cold leg pipe walls, pressurizer walls, the steam generator primary side metal and the steam generator secondary side metal.

The steam generator tube metal was modeled as part of the active heat structures. The steam line metal and the RHR system passive metal were not modeled.

The RHR system was modeled as two parallel trains with two separate pumps and cross connects. Two heat exchangers were modeled as control volumes with no heat removal since the heat exchangers were assumed to maintain a constant temperature in the RCS during the LTOP analyses. The RHR relief valve was attached to the RHR system near the cold leg connection. The RHR relief valve was benchmarked for flow under the design conditions. A noding diagram of the RHR system is shown in Figure 3.

For the mass addition cases, the primary system was initialized at 60, 85, 8 212

'F, and at a pressure of 315 psig. The primary and secondary systems are decoupled since there is no heat transfer in this case. The event was initiated by starting one or three charging pumps, or one Sl pump. The flow capacity of each charging pump is 60 gpm. In the Sl pump cases, the flow rate used for one ~

Sl pump is shown in Table 4. In cases with the 1 1 sq.in. vent open, RC pumps

~

were not run, because the RCS is at near atmospheric pressure and there is insufficient NPSH to operate the pumps. Sl injection is used as the initiating event in the vent cases. The analysis was terminated after the PORV opens or an equilibrium pressure was obtained. The peak RCS pressure was compared with the acceptance criteria. Different cases have different assumptions. See Table 1 for details.

The secondary and primary fluid in the steam generators were initialized at a temperature 50 degrees above the primary system; The RHR system was assumed to be operating with a capacity of 1700 gpm with one pump running

( 320'F case as specified in Attachment C of Reference 4 ) or 2000 gpm with two pumps running ( 60'F and the 85'F cases, consistent with minimum flow rates under these conditions). The transient was initiated by starting a reactor coolant pump in the loop that contains the pressurizer. The pump startup characteristics of Table 5 were used to bring the pump to full speed in 17.4 seconds. The analysis was run until the peak pressure was obtained. The peak pressures in the reactor vessel and the RHR system were compared with the acceptance criteria.

All values were taken from References 4, 6 8 7. The case numbers correspond to those shown in Table 1.

6.1 Mass Addition Cases 6.1.1 Case 1 The mass addition case identified as Case 1 is initialized at a primary temperature of 85'F and a primary pressure of 315 psig. Using the initial pressure of 315 psig assures that the transient is well defined by the time the PORV is actuated. The reactor coolant pumps are not running and the pressurizer is water solid. It is assumed that the RHR system is removing decay 18

FTl Non-Proprietary 86-1 234820-03 heat, so it is not modelled. The event is initiated by starting three pump charging flow (180 gpm or 25 Ib/s). The analysis is run for ten minutes. The sequence of events for this case is shown in Table 6. Plots of the reactor vessel pressure and pressure at RHR system suction point in the hot leg are shown on Figures 4 8 5, respectively (Reference 4).

The peak reactor vessel pressure was 480.2 psia. The allowable pressure, according to the Appendix G limit (Code Case N-514) at 85' is 618.7 psia.

Therefore, there is 138A psi margin to the Appendix G acceptance criterion.

To compare the peak pressure in the RHR system with the acceptance criterion, the pressure drop from the hot leg to the RHR pump discharge (128.1 psi, from Reference 4) was added to the peak hot leg pressure. This case yielded a peak RHR pressure of 598.4 psia. The peak allowable pressure in the RHR system is 674.7 psia. This results in a 76.3 psi margin to the acceptance criterion. The RHR flow is assumed to be 1700 gpm in this case, for the calculation of peak RHR pressure.

One RC pump is running at steady-state in this transient. There is 3 gpm RC pump seal return flow.'he transient is initiated with starting of one charging pump. No pressurizer vent is open and no SI pump is started. This case also has the secondary system disconnected from the primary in the model as in all mass addition cases. No RHR system is modeled .

With the starting of one charging pump, the primary system pressurizes rapidly and the PORVs open to relieve the pressure. The reactor vessel reaches a peak pressure of 554.42 psia. The allowable pressure at this temperature is 608.7 psia. The peak pressure in the RHR system is calculated by adding 138.03 psi l9

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-1 23482043 to the highest pressure reached in the hot leg connection of the RHR system.

This value is based on a total of 2000 gpm RHR flow rate. The peak RHR system pressure thus calculated is 656 psia as compared with the structural allowable peak pressure of 674.70 psia.

Figures 6 8 7 show the pressure in the reactor vessel, and the pressure in the hot leg RHR connection point, respectively.

This case passes the Appendix G limit (Code Case N-514) and the RHR system

'as margin to the acceptance limit. The sequence of events is shown in Table 7.

No RC pump is running in this transient. The transient is initiated by starting one Sl pump. A pressurizer vent of 1.1 square inches is open. The primary and secondary systems are oin thermal equilibrium.

No RHR system is modeled. Instead, the pressure difference between the RHR pump discharge and the RHR system inlet was added to obtain the calculated results.

With the starting of one Sl pump, the primary system pressurizes. The primary pressure reaches a steady-state pressure at a level where the SI flow and the flow through the vent are equal. The PORVs do not have to open to relieve the pressure. The PORVs are not credited in the analysis. The reactor vessel reaches a peak pressure of 413.48 psia. The allowable pressure at this temperature is 608.7 psia. The peak pressure in the RHR systeiTr is calculated by adding 138.03 psi to the highest pressure reached in the hot leg connection of the RHR system. This value is based on a total of 2000 gpm RHR flow rate.

The peak RHR system pressure thus calculated is 542.34 psia as compared with the structural allowable peak pressure of 674.70 psia.

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-1 234820-03 Figures 8 8 9 show the pressure in the reactor vessel and the hot leg RHR connection point, respectively.

This case passes the Appendix G (Code Case N-514) limit for acceptance with a sizeable margin. The RHR system has margin to acceptance limit. The sequence of events is shown in Table 8.

Peak pressure of . sia reached 175.00 in reactor vessel 6.1.4 Case 4 Case 4 is a mass addition case with the primary pressure at 14.7 psia and with a primary temperature of 212 'F. No RC pump is running in this transient. The transient is initiated by starting one Sl pump. A pressurizer vent of 1.1 square inches area is open. This case also has the secondary system disconnected from the primary in the model. No RHR system is modeled .

Since the primary system is at atmospheric pressure at the top of the pressurizer, the steam generator top-most region inside the tubes will experience pressures lower than atmosphere and hence, steam bubbles can form in this region at 212'F. Steam voids in the system could yield non-conservative results by increasing the compressibility of the reactor coolant. To prevent void formation, the steam generator was initialized separate from the primary system and at a temperature below the saturation temperature.

The transient is initiated by connecting the steam generators to the RCS and by starting an Sl pump. With the starting of one SI pump, the primary system pressurizes until the flow out of the vent balances the flow from the Sl pump.

The peak pressure reached is below the PORV setpoint. The PORVs are not credited in this case.

The reactor vessel reaches a peak pressure of 396.72 psia. The allowable pressure at this temperature is approximately 780.3 psia. The peak pressure in the RHR system is calculated by adding 138.03 psi to the highest pressure reached in the hot leg connection of the RHR system. This value is based on a 21

FTl Non-Proprietary 86-1 23482043 total of 2000 gpm RHR flow rate. The peak RHR system pressure thus calculated is 525.91 psia as compared with the structural allowable peak pressure of 674.70 psia.

Figures 10 & 11 show the pressure in the reactor vessel, and the pressure in the hot leg RHR connection point, respectively.

The peak reactor vessel pressure is less than the Appendix G limit (Code Case N-514) and the RHR system has margin to the acceptance limit. The sequence of events is shown in Table 9.

There is no RC pumpsealreturnflowmodeled. Thetransient is initiated by starting three charging pumps. No pressurizer vent is open and no Sl pump is started. No RHR system is modeled .

With the starting of three charging pumps, the primary system pressurizes and the PORVs open to relieve the pressure. The reactor vessel reaches a peak pressure of 587.44 psia. The Appendix G (Code Case N-514) allowable pressure at this temperature is 608.7 psia. The peak pressure in the RHR system is calculated by adding 138.03 psi to the highest pressure reached in the hot leg connection of the RHR system. This value is based on a total of 2000 gpm RHR fiow rate. The peak RHR system pressure thus calculated is 663.49 psia as compared with the structural allowable peak pressure of 674.70 psia.

'

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-1 234820-03 The peak reactor vessel pressure is less than the Appendix G limit and the RHR system also has margin to the acceptance limit. The sequence of events is shown in Table 7a.

The secondary system is at a temperature 50'F higher than system. The RHR system is running at a capacity of 2000 gpm total.

the'rimary The RHR system is modeled explicitly for the heat addition cases. No pressurizer vent or seal return flow is modeled.

The transient is initiated by starting the reactor coolant pump in the loop in which the pressurizer is attached. The reactor coolant pump forces flow through the loops, thus allowing the secondary side to heat the primary side. This results in an expansion of the primary system fluid. Since the pressurizer is water-solid, the pressure rises until the PORV opens to relieve the pressure. This case is run until the PORV cycles a few times to assure that the peak pressure is declining with every cycle.

The peak pressure reached in the reactor vessel, is 551.26 psia. The allowable pressure for this temperature is 608.7 psia. Hence, this case passes the Appendix G (Code Case N-514) limit.

The peak RHR system pressure reached in this case is 650.05 psia. The allowable value for this system is 674.70 psia. Hence, the RHR system also passes the pressure acceptance criterion.

The RHR system is modeled explicitly for the heat addition cases. No pressurizer vent or seal leakage is modeled.

The transient is initiated by starting the reactor coolant pump in the loop in which the pressurizer is attached. The reactor coolant pump forces flow through the loops, thus allowing the secondary side to heat the primary side. This results in an expansion of the primary system fluid. Since the pressurizer is water-solid, the pressure rises until the PORV opens to relieve the pressure. This case is run until the PORV cycles a few times to assure that the peak pressure is declining with every cycle.

peak pressure reached in the reactor vessel is 558.04 psia. The Appendix I'he G (Code Case N-514) allowable for this temperature is 618.6 psia. Hence, this case passes the Appendix G limit.

The peak RHR system pressure reached in this case is 656.34 psia. The allowable value for this system is 674.70 psia. Hence, the RHR system also passes the pressure acceptance criterion.

SUMMARY

AND CONCLUSIONS Framatome Technologies Incorporated (FTI) updated the analysis of the low temperature overpressure events for the Rochester Gas and Electric (RGE)

Robert E.Ginna Nuclear Power Station. This analysis becomes the new analysis of record for RGE. In this effort, a spectrum of LTOP events to bound all possible operational configurations was analyzed and the results compared to the acceptance criteria of the Appendix G limits for embrittlement and the RHR overpressure structural design limit.

The most limiting mass addition case analyzed is a case with three charging pumps turned on when the primary system is at 60'F with two RC pumps running. This resulted in a peak pressure in the reactor vessel of 587.44 psia, which is lower than the Appendix G(Code Case N-514) limit at this temperature.

The peak pressure in the RHR system in this case with 2000 gpm of RHR flow(

i.e. two RHR pumps running ) is 663.5 psia. The RHR system passes the structural acceptance criterion set for the RHR system by a margin of 11.2 psi.

The most limiting heat addition case is the start of a reactor coolant pump with the primary system at 60 'F. The peak reactor vessel pressure reached in tljy transient was 551.25 psia. The Appendix G(Code Case N-514) limit is 608g7 psia. Hence, this case passes with a margin of 57.@$ si. The peak pressure at the RHR pump discharge for this case was 649.96 psia as compared with an acceptance limit of 674.7 psia. The margin in the RHR system is 24.74 psi.

For the RHR system, the limiting event is a reactor coolant pump start with both the RHR pumps running and the primary initial temperature at 280'F. In this case, the peak RHR pressure reached is 663.66 psia as compared with an allowable of 674.70 psia. Above 280'F primary temperature, only one RHR pump will be running, yielding a greater margin to the pressure limit.

FTI Non-Proprietary 86-123482043 When the plant is in a configuration in which the pressurizer vent(1.1 sq.inches) is open, the primary system pressure will be at atmospheric pressure in the pressurizer. No RC pump will be allowed to run under vented conditions since NPSH will not be available to run any pump. The most limiting mass addition for this plant condition is the start of an Sl pump when the initial primary temperature is at 60'F. This case has y pegreactor vessel pressure of ~'$sia, which is less than the Appendix GfimiFby, psi. The peak RHR ressure in this case is .

" sia as compared wi 'ie allowable presssure of 674.70 psia.

Conseq6ent, this case bounded by start of a charging pump at 60'F with the pressurizer vent closed and PORV operable.

The summary of results of all LTOP cases is shown in Table 15.
