Objective
The purpose of the work described by this analysis was to
determine the accuracy ofthe full core PIDAL power distribution
calculations when the true core power distributionis radially
tilted. This is in response to comments made by the USNRC while
reviewing thePIDAL methodology and uncertainty analysis.
In particular, the NRC requested the following:
1- A comparison of the tilt measured by PIDALwith the true or
theoretical tilt.
2- Verification that the PIDAL code programmingwas correct by
supplying theoretical detectorinput and comparing the resulting
PIDALsolution with the original theoretical powerdistribution
solution.
3- Determination of the Srm uncertainty componentfor radially
perturbed or tilted powei distributionsup to the full power
Technical Specification limitof 5% quadrant power tilt.
4- An explanation of what assumptions are made inthe Palisades
Safety Analysis to cover radialpeaking factor increases caused by
quadrantpower tilts.

Summary and Conclusions
Comparisons Laeen the quadrant power tilts determined by the
PIDAL model w eremade to corresponding theoretical values. It was
found that in all cases PIDAL eitheraccurately measured the
quadrant power tilt, or in some instances conservatively
measuredthe tilts to be greater than truth.
The Srci) uncertainty component as defined in the PIDAL
uncertainty analysis wasrecalculated for radially tilted cores, it
was found that in all cases the Sr(i> value for tiltedcores was
bounded by the value used in the PIDAL uncertainty analysis for
cores .zithquadrant power tilts up to 2.8%. It was also found that
the value of the Srci) uncertaintycomponent depended strongly on
the direction and magnitude of the oscillation causing thepower
tilt. For cores oscillating about the diagonal core axis, the
assumed PIDALmeasurement uncertainty is valid for tilts up to
5%.
For the ascillation about the core major axis, the Sr(s)
uncertainty component ceasesto be bounded by the value assumed in
the PIDAL uncertainty analysis for quadrant powertilts greater than
2.8%. Since the Palisades Technical Specifications allow for full
poweroperation with quadrant power tilts of up to 5%, and it was
clear that the current PIDALuncertainties were only valid for tilts
up to 2.8%, it was necessary to derive newuncertainties to allow
use of PIDAL for tilts abcVe 2.8%. An analysis was performed,
asdescribed in Sections 3 and 4 of this report in order to
determine the uncertainties in F9,F4" and F^ at the 5% quadrant
power tilt threshold. These uncertainties may be found inTable #3
of Section 5 of this report.
It was shown that the coding in the PIDAL program is correct by
reproducing atheoretically flat power distribution when given the
appropriate theoretical incore detectorvalues. This is in agreement
with results previously obtained as part of the PIDALUncertainty
Analysis.
Finally, it was found that quadrant power tilt is not an input
to the Safety Analysisand that the increase in local or radial
peaking resulting from a tilted core scenario isimplied by the
peaking factor or LHOR used in the analysis. There is no tilt
multiplicationfactor applied to the peaking factors. ..

Assump: ions
The Palisades FSAR specifically talks about three types of
instabilities within thereactor core: radial, azimuthal and axial.
This analysis is only concerned with the first twomodes. It is
assumed that the use of the word " radial"in the FSAR refers to an
oscillationwhich moves from the center of the core outward to the
periphery and then back. Anoscillation of this type could be
depicted by the top of a single spired circus tent beingraised and
lowered. It is assumed that the word " azimuthal" refers to an
oscillation whichtraverses the entire width or the core before
returning back to the point of origination. Inthe rigorous sense of
the word, this type of oscillation could hypothetically
traversecircumferentially around the core as well, much like a pie
tin would rotate if it were notperfectly balanced on a central
point.
The Palisades FSAR states that a radial oscillation in the
reactor is highly unlikelyand stable if it does occur. To this end,
there are times when the word " radial" is usedloomly, meaning
either a truly radial oscillation, or sometimes meaning "about the
radialplane". It is hoped that the context of the usage will
clearly dictate the meaning.
There is one fundamental difference between the uncertainties
derived from thisanalysis and the original values derived in the
PIDAL Uncertainty Analysis which wasbrought on by the nature in
which this analysis had to be performed. In the original PIDAL
uncertainty components contained bothuncertainty analysis, it
was assumed that the Snothe measured and inferred components of the
box power synthesis uncertainty. For this
uncertainties calculated do not contain the same component
because theanalysis, the Sngdetector powers supplied to PIDAL are
based on theory. Since no data for significantlytilted cores exists
for the Palisadet reactor, it must be assumed that recalculating
theuncertainty components based purely on theoretical detector
powers is valid.

Analpis Methodology
in order to answer the questions posed by the NRC. it was
necessary to supplyPIDAL with incore detector signals from a
variety of radially tilted configurations. It wasdesired to
investigate the effects of quadrant power tilts on the order of 0%
to 50, as wellas more severely tilted cases on the order of
10G.
The 0% to 5% tilt range was chosen because this covered the
range over which thePalisades reactor can operate at greater than
25G power while remaining within thequadrant power tilt guidelines
set forth in Palisades Technical Specification 3.23.3. At
thepresent time, power operation with quadrant power tilts greater
than 5% is not anticipatedsince tilts of this magnitude are highly
unlikely unless a dropped control tod or otherwisesevere localized
power anomaly occurs. Nevertheless,it was deemed necessary to
investigatehow well PIDAL performed when more severe tilts were
present.
Since Palisades rarely operates with measured quadrant power
tilts greater than 10,and measured incore detector signals for
radially tilted cores were not available, it wasnecessary to find
an alternate method for providing PIDAL with the required tilted
incoredetector data, it was decided to use detector powers derived
from full core XTG sc.lutionsas input to PIDAL This required that
XTG cases be run which modelled rr. dial orazimuthal imbalances in
the reactor core.
A total of four XTG cases were run in order to model a variety
of azimuthal andradial Xenon oscillation scenarios. Three of the
four XTG runs started from a restartcorresponding to roughly 3/4
total cycle length. The fourth case was run at BOC. These fourcases
all started the transient by dropping a single control rod into the
core and then leavingthe rod fully inserted for a period of 72
hours after which time the rod was rapidly pulledout. The ensuing
transient was then followed for a period of 36 hours. The only
differencesbetween the four transient cases run were which control
rod was dropped and thereforewhich direction the oscillation took
across the core.
The first two of the transient cases were run by dropping group
3 control rods intothe core. The first case dropped in a group 3
outer rod (rod 3 34) while the second casedropped in the central
control rod (rod 3 33). The object of the case which dropped in
the3 outer rod was to induce an azimuthal oscillation. The object
of dropping the central rodwa io see if a radial oscillation could
be induced.
The second two cases run both used a group 4 control rod as the
transient initiator.The object of these two cases was to initiate
an azimuthal oscillation which started off ofthe major axis (on a
diagonal). Both of the two cases which used a dropped group 4
controlrod as transient initiator were identical with the exception
being tbt the first case was runat 3/4 cycle length while the
second case was run at BOC.

Analysis Methodology-
After the XTG cases were run,it was necessary to infer
theoreticalincore detectorpowers from the resultant three
dimensional XTG power distributions. This wasaccomplished by
writing a small utility program, XTGDET, which used the
powerdistribution from the XTG punch file as input.
The purpose of the XTGDET program was to read in a 3 D power
distributionpunch file created by XTG and convert the nodal powers
into equivalent incore detectorpowers. Subroutine EXPAND is the
meat of the XTGDET program. Based on the 3 Dnodal power
distribution determined by XTG, it calculates the theoretical
detector powers.EXPAND uses the same methodology as subroutine
EXPAND of PlDAL and Section 2.2.1of the PIDAL Methodology Report
should be consulted if further reference is required.
The XTGDET program was compiled and link edited four times. The
program wasidentical for each compilation except for the incore
detector location array, DETLOC. Forthe first compile DETLOC
defined the actuallocations of the detector strings in the
reactorcore (i.e. DETLOC was defined just like it was in the PIDAL
block data section). For thesecond compilation the incore detectors
spatial orientation to each other was not changed,but the entire
core was rotated 90 clockwise underneath them. The third and
fourthcompiles rotated the core 180* and 270* clockwise
respectively from its true orientation tothe incore c'etector
strings. The reason for wanting to rotate the core about the
incoredetector locations will be discussed shortly.
Once the theoretical detector powers were obtained for the
radially tilted conditions,they were input to PIDAL The core power
distributions calculated by PIDAL were thetcompated back to the
original XTG solution. For each of the PIDAL cases run,
thestatistical analysis option was chosen in order to determine the
uncertainties associated withthe PIDAL calculations for the tilted
conditions.
Prior to discussing the actual PIDAL cases which were run, it is
appropriate todescribe the temporary modifications which were made
to the cycle 7 PIDAL model inorder to overlay the measured incore
detector signals with the full core theoretical valuessupplied by
XTG via XTGDET, In the main program, immediately after the call
toSubroutine BXPWR (which calculates the detector powers based on
measured millivoltsignals and the Wprimes), temporary coding was
added which reads in the theoreticaldetector powers and detector
level normalization factors produced by XTGDET. This readwas
activated by the IXPOW f'ag which is normally used to tell PIDAL to
use theoreticaldetector powers from the 1/4 core XTG model that
runs concurrently with each PIDALcase. Following the input of the
ful! core theoretical detector powers, the IXPOW flag wasturned off
so that the normal 1/4 core theoretical detector power logic in
PIDAL would nottake effect. Note that the measured detector powers
are actually overlaid by the new codingand that PIDAL assumes the
full core theoretical values to be measured from this point on.

Analysis Methodology
A total of 19 PIDAL cases were run for this analysis. The irst
case was a non tiltedf
base case which corresponds to the core conditions at 3/4 EOC.
The XTG case used tosupply the full core theoretical detector
powers was the second step of the 3/4 EOC group4 rod drop scenario.
The base case is important because it serves to verify that the
entiresystem is working as designed for this analysis. The
following checks were made:
- Verifiertion that the full core XTG model forcycle 7 is
working properly by comparing the fullcore XTG run with the 1/4
core XTG powerdistribution of PIDAL
- Verification that the XTGDET program isworking properly by
comparing the full core XTGpower distribution with the XTGDET
collapsed2 D radial power distribution.
- Verification that the XTGDET program isworking properly by
comparing the XTGDETtheoretical detector powers with those
previouslycalculated by the 1/4 XTG which is part ofPIDAL.
Verification that the full core detector signalsare getting
input to PIDAL correctly fromXTGDET and that the PIDAL solutica is
correctby comparing the PIDAL solution with theoriginal XTG
solution.
With description of the base case out of the way, discussion on
the remaining 18PIDAL cases is appropriate. The PIDAL cases run
used theoretical detector powers fromtwo of the XTG dropped rod
induced transient scenarios. The first 6 PIDAL cases usedpowers
from the 3/4 EOC group 4 rod induced transient while the second 6
used powersfrom the group 3-outer rod induced XTG case.
,
The first six PIDAL cases run corresponded to peak quadrant
power tilts of 10%,7.6%, 5.6%, 2.9%,1.6% and 0.3% respectively.
These cases were selected because they
| covered the spectrum of tilted cores for a tilt range of no
tilt up to 10% tilt. Concentrationon tilts between 0% and ~5% was
greater because it is over this range that the reactor may'
| be operated without reducing power or correcting the tilt. The
second six PIDAL cases all; lie within the no tilt and ~5% quadrant
power tilt range.

Analysis Methodology
There were two reasons for using the two different transient
scenarios as suppliersof the theoretical detector powers. First,
the dropped group 3 outer rod scenario did notresult in quadrant
power tilts greater than 5% Juring the oscillatory period.
Therefore, itwas necessary to use cases from the dropped group 4
rod secuario in order to get results ontilts up to 10E Secondly,
the oscillations between the two scenarios were quite different.The
dropped group 3 outer rod oscillated about the major symmetric axis
while the droppedgroup 4 rod scenario oscillated about the diagonal
axis. Consideration of both is importantbecause the majority of the
symmetric incore detector locations are rotationally symmetric(and
not generally symmetric about either major axis or diagonal) and
therefore oscillationsabout differing axis' could have differing
effects on the accuracy of the PIDAL quadrantpower tilt
algorithm.
Expanding on this last statement, it was decided to further
investigate the effects oftilt location on the PIDAL solution. In
the case of the dropped group 4 rod inducedtransient, the power
peak used for the PIDAL cases 1 through 6 occurred in quadrant
2.What if the power peak was in one of the other three quadrants?
In other words, what ifthe power distribution was the same, just
rotated 90*,180* or 270 ? Since the incore
- detectors are not equally distributed over ine quadrants, it
is not expected that the powerdistributions as measured by PIDAL
would be the same for the rotated cas:s. The samequestions can be
asked for the group 3-outer rod induced transient as well.
The XTGDET program allowed for use of the same XTG case for each
of the fourpossible symmetric oscillations induced by individually
dropped group 4 rods. In a similar,
l fashion, the existing group 3 outer dropped rod XTG case could
be used for three additionalsymmetric transient scenarios.
Six additional PIDAL cases were then run. Three of the cases
were for the 5% tiltedgroup 4 rod induced oscillation at rotations
of 90,180 and 270* clockwise from the originalpower distribution.
The other three cases were for the 5% tilted group 3 outer rod
induced
i transient at rotations of 90,180* at d 270*.

Analysis Results
4
The results of the three transient cases which caused azimuthal
xenon transients aresummarized in Table #1. From this table it is
apparent that the core is less stable atbeginning of cycle than at
EOC azimuthally. This is in agreement of Section 3.3.2.8 of
thePalisades FSAR which states that it appears that the azimuthal
mode is the most easilyexcited at beginning of life even though the
axial mode becomes the most unstable later.From Table #1 it is also
clear that the oscillation resulting from tne group 4 rod drop
ismore severe from a quadrant power tilt standpoint than for the
group 3 outer rod drop.The reason for this is that in the group 3
outer induced transient, the power peaking issymmetric along the
quadrant lines, and therefore the peak tilt is actually distributed
overtwo adjacent quadrants. in the case of the dropped group 4 rod
transient, the powerpeaking is symmetric about the diagonal which
lies within a single quadrant.
Table #2 presents the results of the PIDAL cases which were run
and it is this datathat will be used to answer the questions asked
by the NRC. The first NRC request wasfor comparison of the tilt
measured by PIDAL with the true or theoretical tilt. For thedropped
group 4 rod case, the agreement be: ween the PIDAL solution and the
originalXTG quadrant power tilt was very good. For the true tilts
between 0% and 10%, the errorwas on the order of 0.72% or less.
For the dropped group 3 outer rod induced transient, the
quadrant power tilt was notas accurately measured, however it was
measured conservatively in each case. For truequadrant power tilts
of ~4% or less, the PIDAL tilt was still within 1% of the original
XTG.When the true tilt rose to greater than 5% the error in the
PIDAL tilt calculation reached1.23%. Again it should be noted that
the PIDAL tilt fer these cases was always higher thanthe true tilt
and therefore conservative.
j The second NRC comment asked that the PIDAL code programming
be verifiedcorrect by supplying theoretical detector input and
comparing the resulting PIDAL solutionwith the original theoretical
power distribution solution. In actuality, this comment hadalready
been addressed by the PIDAL Uncertainty Analysis. The S ,y
uncertaintyg
.
component represents the error in the PIDAL solution when PIDAL
is given detector| powers from a known power distribution solution.
For the entire data base, the Sr
uncertainty component was 0.0022. This value is in excellent
agreement with the individualcase S ,) uncertainty components found
on the statistical summary edit following each ofnthe PIDAL runs
performed for this analysis.

Analysis Results'
The third comment made by the NRC requested that a determination
of the S ,,guncertainty component for tilted cores be made. To this
end, the PIDAL statistical analysisroutines, which calculate the
individual case uncertainty components, were activated for eachof
the eighteen tilted core PIDAL runs made.The individual results are
presented in Table# 2. When looking at these values, the reader
should keep in mind the overall S nguncertainty component of 0.0277
for the entire data base arrived at in PIDAL UncertaintyAnalysis.
Based on the results presented in Table #2 it can be concluded that
theuncertainty component S ,) bounds core measurements up to
quadrant power tilts of 2.8%n(linear interpolation between cases 9
and 10). Furthermore, depending on the direction ofthe oscillation,
the PIDAL measurements are bounded to above the current 5%
quadrantpower tilt Technical Specification limit.
For the oscillation symmetric about the core -diagonal, the
PIDAL measurementuncertainty previously determined is valid for
tilts up to 5%. For the oscillation about thecore major axis, the S
,) uncertainty cornponent ceases to bound the value assumed in
thenPIDAL uncertainty analysis for quadrant power tilts greater
than 2.8% This means that theuncertainties derived in the PIDAL
Uncertainty Analysis are not valid for all cases whenquarter core
tilts are greater than 2.8%. *
Because it was shown that the current uncertainties do not bound
all tilted cases, itwas namary to find new uncertainties which take
power distributions with tilts greater than2.8% into ac:ount. This
was done by utilizing the PIDAL statistical processor program,
tocombine the data from PIDAL cases 13 through 18. The PIDAL
statistical program, whichwas developed and documented as recorded
in the PIDAL Uncertainty Analysis, can takestatistical data output
by individual PIDAL cases and combine it to represent an
entirepopulation. Cases 13 through 18 were used as the basis for
the new tilted core uncertaintybecause they all were based on
theoretical tilts of roughly 5% (actually 5.58% and 5.11%).The 5%
quadrant power tilt cut off was specified because Technical
Specification 3.23.3allows for full power operation of the reactor
for quadrant power tilts up to 5%, without anycompensatory
action.
The results of the statistical combination for the tilted cases
may be found in Table#3. The non tilted data presented is taken
from the previous PIDAL Uncertainty Analysis.The F9, Fa h and F^
data presented in Table #3 is the basis for the revised
TechnicalSpecification Table 3.23.3.
L In response to the fourth NRC comment, a diccussion on how
quadrant power tilteffected the Palisades Safety Analysis took
place with members of the Palisades TransientAnalysis Group. It was
learned that quadrant power tilt is not an input to the
SafetyAnalysis and that the increas t in local or radial peaking
resulting from a tilted core scenariois implied by the peaking
factor or LHGR used in the analysis. There is no tilt
| multiplication factor applied to the peaking factors.Ll
