SLMCPR Tech Spec RedefinedMCPR95/95(i) = µi + κi*σi

Where,µi is the mean Experimental Critical Power Ratio (ECPR)

ECPR = ( ) σi is the standard deviation of the ECPRs

κi is a statistical parameter chosen to provide 95% probabilityat 95% confidence (95/95) for the one-sided upper tolerance limit thatdepends on the number of samples (Ni) in the critical power database

i is a fuel product line, such as GE14, GNF2, OPTIMA3, ATRIUM10X, etc.

Summary and Conclusions• GE concept for Accident Tolerant Fuel utilizes a FeCrAl alloy cladding with UO2

fuel pellets material.– Orders of magnitude more resistant to reaction with superheated steam than zirconium

– Less combustible hydrogen release and less heat of reaction.

– Maintain coolable geometry for longer time allowing for quenching measures.

• Phase 1 tasks adequately demonstrate feasibility.– Environmentally compatible

– Material properties compatible

• NRC engagement– Lead Rod Assembly Insertion

– Long Term Regulatory Framework

NSF Licensing/Transition• 2015

– September received NRC approval for full NSF reloads– Implemented the approved NSF shadow bow model which

is equal to 20% of Zircaloy-2 shadow bow model

• 2016– NSF batch use now integrated into GESTAR– March 2016 inserted first NSF batch reload of 320 channels in Grand

Gulf C21– More batch reloads followed in Limerick 1 and Clinton– Approximately 3600 NSF channels in use or fabricated by Fall 2017

Non-Proprietary Information – Class I (Public)

Summary for 2016• Interference still occurring with Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4

channels• But is being well managed by plants following either

SC08-05 (BWR/6) or SC11-05 (BWR/2-5)• NSF performance data continues to demonstrate

resistance to both fluence and shadow bow with acceptable corrosion

• NSF licensing is complete• GNF started inserting full NSF reloads in 2016

• GNF2 experience details• Transition to GNF2 reloads is nearly complete

• New Fuel Reload Surveillance Status• Complete for legacy designs; extensive inspections; essentially complete for GNF2

• LUA Surveillance Status & Objectives• Planning GNF3 Inspections to start winter ‘17

“In the first plant-specific implementation of MELLLA+, the cycle-specificeigenvalue tracking data will be evaluated and submitted to the NRC toestablish the performance of nuclear methods under the operation in thenew operating domain. The following data will be analyzed:

• Hot critical eigenvalue

• Cold critical eigenvalue

• Nodal power distribution (TIP Nodal RMS)

• Bundle power distribution (TIP Radial RMS)

• Thermal margins (3DM vs. offline)

• Core flow and pressure drop uncertainties

• Minimum Critical Power Ratio Importance Parameter (MIP)”

• For each metric being compared, the following is provided to help establish methods performance on a comparative basis:– Fleet data from IMLTR or MELLLA+ submittals (if applicable)

– Previous 3 cycles of information for each plant

Closing Remarks

• Limited data available for MELLLA+ operation to date

• Initial data demonstrates Methods’ performance in the MELLLA+ domaincontinues to meet expectations set by prior submittals and historicaldata at non-MELLLA+ conditions

• Intent is to add to information each year in the same format it waspresented here. Interested in NRC feedback to make sure this is aseffective as possible.
