PIRT 4.4 - Particulate Nucleation Sites Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 44

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan - PIRT Summary (Continued)

PIRT 1.1 - RCS Coolant Chemistry Conditions at Break

  • Primary Concern - The chemical makeup and temperature variation of the containment pool can influence corrosion rates and solubility limits.
  • CHLE-002 Resolution - Prototypic Boron, Lithium and NaTB concentrations to be used in the test fluid. High temperature portion (>195F) of LOCA to be addressed with autoclave testing.
  • Autoclave Test Resolution - Prototypic chemistry and LOCA temperature profile used throughout the test duration. Temperature profile matches design basis AOR. Obviates Need to Boost Certain Ionic Concentrations PIRT 1.4 - Containment Spray CO2 Scavenging
  • Primary Concern - Containment Spray increases CO2 absorption promoting formation of carbonate solid species and enhance nucleation/precipitation
  • CHLE-002 Resolution - Explicit inclusion of CS Spray loop and left reaction tank open to atmosphere
  • Autoclave Test Resolution - Air addressed through direct air burst injection for fluid agitation Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 45

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan - PIRT Summary (Continued)

PIRT 2.1/2.2/2.4 - Radiological Concerns

  • Primary Concern - Radiolysis reactions form HCl and HNO3, impacting pool pH and promoting increased corrosion
  • CHLE-002 Resolution - Explicit inclusion of strong acids produced from radiolysis into the reaction tank
  • Autoclave Test Resolution - Updated analyses show strong acids decrease pH by a maximum of 0.03 pH units. Impact is negligible.

PIRT 3.5 - Containment Spray Transport

  • Primary Concern - Containment spray washes down corrosion products and contributes to chemical effects in pool.
  • Autoclave Test Resolution - Sprayed coupons conservatively included as submerged in agitated autoclave.

Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 46

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan - PIRT Summary (Continued)

PIRT 3.3 - Debris Mix Particulate/Fiber Ratio

  • Primary Concern - Differences in debris bed composition could impact how the bed forms and captures chemical precipitates.
  • CHLE-002 Resolution - Debris bed was specially formed to be sensitive detector and not scaled to a strainer chemical effects head loss.
  • Autoclave Test Resolution - Filtration medium has 1µm pore size and higher capture efficiency.

Precipitation at material nucleation sites investigated visually.

  • 2009 Vertical Loop Tests used fiber/particulate debris beds with high aluminum and silicon concentrations - No increased head loss detected.

PIRT 4.1/5.1 - Polymerization/Inorganic Agglomeration

  • Primary Concern - Larger clumps may form from smaller particulate or precipitates resulting in tangible effects on ECCS performance.
  • CHLE-002 Resolution - Polymerization and agglomeration allowed to occur in prototypical conditions. Any larger particles that dislodge from nucleation sites or form in solution would register as chemical head loss on the detector debris bed.
  • Autoclave Test Resolution - Polymerization and agglomeration allowed to occur in prototypical conditions. Larger particles would register as longer filtration times. Material nucleation sites are inspected in post-test condition for presence of precipitate.

Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 47

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan - PIRT Summary (Continued)

PIRT 4.2/7.2 - Heat Exchanger: Solid Species Formation, Deposition and Clogging

  • Primary Concern - Temperature drop across Heat Exchanger inlet and outlet causes precipitation at lower temperatures impacting ECCS performance and heat transfer across fuel bundles.
  • CHLE-002 Resolution - Explicit inclusion of Heat Exchanger loop in and turbidity measurement at inlet and outlet.
  • Autoclave Test Resolution - Filtration samples taken from autoclave and held at temperatures down to 70F to promote lower temperature precipitation.

PIRT 4.4 - Particulate Nucleation Sites

  • Primary Concern - Particles within containment create nucleation sites for chemical precipitate.
  • CHLE-002 Resolution - Chemical precipitation modeled under prototypical conditions.

Nucleation is allowed to occur naturally and would register as head loss upon transport to or formation within the debris bed.

  • Autoclave Test Resolution - All post-test materials investigated for chemical precipitation at nucleation sites visually. Any uncertainties associated with particulate nucleation sites addressed with deterministic margin applied to conventional debris head loss.
  • 2009 Vertical Loop Tests used fiber/particulate debris beds with high aluminum and silicon concentrations - No increased head loss detected.

Strainer NPSH Margin

  • NSPH Analyses Indicate Considerable Strainer Head Loss Margin Throughout LOCA
  • Design Basis Head Loss is 1.0 ft Including Minimal Chemical Effects and Uncertainty
  • No Credit Taken for Containment Accident Pressure Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 50

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan (Continued)

Strainer Deaeration

  • Incipient Deaeration May Occur When The Pressure At The Downstream Face Of The Strainer Is Less Than The Pressure at the Pool Surface
  • This Occurs If The DP Across The Strainer Face Is Greater Than Strainer Submergence
  • Concern That Gas Accumulation Could Eventually Cause Draining Behind The Strainer
  • Minimum Pool Elevation = 15.35 ft
  • Max Strainer Height Level = 13.06 ft
  • Submergence = Min Pool Elevation - Max Strainer Elevation = 2.29 ft
  • Design Basis Head Loss with Uncertainty = 1.0 ft < 2.29 ft

Previous NRC Concerns with CCI Fiber Bypass Testing

  • CCI performed fiber bypass testing for numerous plants in the U.S.

- Testing protocols were similar at most plants

  • NRC issued 18 questions to Salem about the CCI bypass testing (ML12338A366)

- Questions meriting a CCNPP specific response

  • Addressed herein

- Generic questions regarding test protocol

  • Responses provided by Salem applicable to CCNPP

- Questions specific to the Salem testing and results

  • Not applicable
  • Most plant specific information requested presented in bypass test description, e.g. fiber batch addition sizes and test termination criteria
  • Two issues warrant further discussion

- How is it ensured that fiber does not bypass the 0.31 mm mesh fiber bypass capture screen?

- How could potential velocity gradients impact the bypass quantity?

Previous NRC Concerns with CCI Fiber Bypass Testing (Continued)

  • How is it ensured that fiber does not bypass the 0.31 mm mesh fiber bypass capture screen?

- Potential for fibers bypassing the capture screen accounted for through a multiplier

- Multiplier assumes all fibers < 0.5 mm bypass the capture screen

- Equation to determine mass fraction of fibers < 0.5 mm reduces to:

where:

- Mx = % of fiber in size class by mass, Lx = average length of fiber in size class, and Px = % of fiber in size class by count

- M1 = 47% of fibers < 0.5 mm in CCNPP bypass tests

- Apply multiplier of 1.47 to unmodified bypass to obtain design bypass amount

  • How could potential velocity gradients impact the bypass quantity?

- CCNPP strainer has 3 trains attached to a radial duct which connects to the sump

- Higher bypass is expected initially in the modules nearest the radial duct due to high velocities prior to full/uniform debris loading

- Transient, temporary phenomenon

  • Not significant for high fiber plants which will have fiber saturated strainer

- Bypass testing gives an appropriate result for design 59 4

In-Vessel Effects Background

  • Fuel Characteristics

- 217 fuel assemblies

- 14x14 fuel rod bundle

- AREVA fuel

  • HTP/HMP spacer grids with FUELGUARD lower end fitting
  • Post-LOCA Recirculation Flow Rate

- Only HPSI and CS systems operate post-RAS (Recirculation Actuation Signal)

  • 1055 gpm HPSI flow (maximum flow to core including uncertainty)

- Post-RAS Maximum Flow per Fuel Assembly

  • 4.9 gpm = 1055 gpm / 217 FA
  • LOCADM Results

- Total deposition thickness < 12 mils

- Maximum cladding temperature < 326°F Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 61

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan (Continued)

NRC Accepted Fuel Blockage Acceptance Criterion

- Based on AREVA Test

  • AREVA fuel with FUELGUARD lower end fitting
  • 44.7 gpm/FA
  • Fiber, particulate, and industry bounding chemical effects debris included
  • Particulate to fiber (p:f) ratio = 1.0
  • Pre-and Post-chemical DP measured
  • Comparison to Calvert Cliffs

- AREVA tests used similar fuel assembly

- 44.7 gpm/FA >> 4.9 gpm/FA

- Large Chemical Effects >> CCNPP Minimal Chemical Effects

  • Conclusion

- 15 grams fiber / FA Extremely Conservative for CCNPP Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 62

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan (Continued)

Basis for Increased Fuel Blockage Acceptance Criterion

  • Most FA tests performed at ~45 gpm/FA

- Representative of Westinghouse ECCS recirculation flow

- Very conservative for CE plants

  • CCNPP Maximum Flow Rate = 4.9 gpm/FA

- Reynolds number < 400 through FA

  • Assume linear relationship between debris bed DP and flow
  • CCNPP Has Minimal Chemical Effects

- Base acceptance criterion on test DP values prior to chemical effects

  • CCNPP uses AREVA fuel with FUELGUARD lower end fitting

- Numerous tests using very similar fuel performed by AREVA

- Base revised fuel acceptance criterion on most limiting AREVA test with FUELGUARD lower end fitting Calvert Cliffs Chemical Effects Testing & Option 2a Refined Closure Plan 63

Option 2a Refined Closure Plan (Continued)

Increased Fuel Blockage Acceptance Criterion

  • AREVA tests of FAs with FUELGUARD performed at 3 flow rates: 3, 11, & ~45 gpm/FA

- Linearly scale pre-chemical effects HL based on 4.9 gpm/FA

- 75 g/FA test DP result at 3 gpm scaled to 4.9 gpm is similar to 15 g/FA at 44.7 gpm

- Details not provided due to fuel assembly test reports being proprietary

  • Considerations

- p:f ratio = 1 not tested at flow rates most similar to CCNPP

- WCAP-16793-NP, Rev. 2, indicates that p:f = 45 is limiting for cold leg breaks (3 gpm/FA)

  • p:f=53 (near 45) shows 150 g/FA almost acceptable
  • Scaled tests at ~45 gpm/FA with p:f=1 less limiting than tests presented above
  • Missing p:f 1 not necessarily significant

- Post-LOCA sump temperature 100°F

  • Scaled HL conservatively ignores temperature effects
  • Conclusion

- CCNPP can utilize fuel blockage acceptance criterion > 15 g/FA

  • 75 g/FA acceptance criterion justified for CCNPP

- CCNPP will address requisite limitations associated with use of an increased fuel blockage acceptance criterion as defined in NRC SE for WCAP-16793-NP, Rev. 2.
