Safety-Related Instrumentation and Control Pilot Upgrade: Conceptual - Detailed Design Phase Report and Lessons Learned

Historically, regulatory barriers have precluded nuclear plant safety-related (SR) Instrumentation and Control (I&C) system modernizations. These barriers have been largely addressed by industry and United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) efforts, including development of the License Amendment Request (LAR) Alternate Review (AR) process for digital I&C upgrades. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) are supporting a SR I&C pilot upgrade at the Limerick Generating Station (LGS) to demonstrate this process and capturing associated lessons learned for the benefit of industry. In 2021, a paper summarizing lessons learned as captured in INL/EXT-20-59809, Safety Related Instrumentation & Control Pilot Upgrade Initial Scoping Phase Implementation Report and Lessons Learned was presented at the 12th NPIC & HMIT conference. It is recommended that readers of this paper review reference 1 or the associated Nuclear Journal paper for context. This paper summarizes activities performed and lessons learned for the conceptual design phase and portions of the detailed design phase as captured in INL/RPT-23-XXXX, “Safety-Related Instrumentation and Control Pilot Upgrade: Conceptual - Detailed Design Phase Report and Lessons Learned.” The portions of the effort covered by reference 2 include conceptual design phase activities from December 2020, through completion in November 2021, and detailed design activities through September 2022. These efforts and associated detailed documentation in reference 3 are intended to support similar industry upgrades as a foundation stone for a Digital Transformation that will improve plant safety, reliability, and operational performance while lowering plant total cost of ownership.

Status Report on Regulatory Criteria Applicable to the Use of Digital Twins

This report describes the research results to date to identify regulatory implications of DT technologies and their uses. Specifically, this report reviews current regulatory guidance relevant to the application of predictive maintenance DTs, artificial intelligence (AI), and automation. The focus of this review included determination of constraints on the application of DT technology, identification of any regulatory gaps or uncertainties, and clarification of anticipated technical basis information likely to be important for regulatory acceptance of these technologies. The research included review of topical reports and other submissions to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on technologies relevant to using DTs for predictive maintenance, NRC safety evaluation (SE) reports, and other relevant literature to identify specific regulatory concerns.

IER 555: Godiva Benchmark Update CED-2 (Final Design Report)

The International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) evaluation of the Godiva IV critical assembly, HEU-MET-FAST-086: GODIVA-IV DELAYED-CRITICAL EXPERIMENTS (HMF-086), was completed by Russ Mosteller. Five critical experiment configurations performed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Technical Area (TA)-18 were evaluated as acceptable benchmark cases. The five cases consist of four delayed critical configurations which differ in control rod positions and one prompt critical configuration. All cases calculated a lower $k_{eff}$ than measured by experiment. This data is referred to as the TA-18 Godiva IV benchmark in this report. In 2005, Godiva IV was disassembled for relocation to the Nevada Test Site (NTS), now Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), at the National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC). Following the disassembly and subsequent reassembly and startup of Godiva IV at NCERC, additional information about the Godiva IV components was obtained. An errata note was added to the HMF-086 evaluation in the ICSBEP handbook to provide this new information until a revision to the benchmark evaluation could be performed. In addition to those corrections, there are differences between the Godiva IV assembly at TA-18 and the Godiva IV assembly at NCERC. These differences include both assembly-specific differences (differences in the safety block gap, differences in the control rod positions, a new NCERC Top Hat and contamination shield) as well as environmental differences, such as the size and shape of the experimental building where the assembly is located. An additional model with similar cases, referred to as the NCERC Godiva IV benchmark in this report, will be added to the revised HMF-086 to capture these additional differences. This will provide the best benchmark model of Godiva for use by those performing experiments at NCERC. The IER 555 CED-2 report documents the information that will be updated in the HMF-086 revision, both the corrections to the TA-18 Godiva IV benchmark and the subsequent changes to create a NCERC Godiva IV benchmark. It describes the measurements that will be performed for cases similar to those performed at TA-18. It also describes measurements that will be included in the evaluation as additional data.
