--iitergy REPORT No. VY-RPT-05-00006 I Revision 0 Page l 5 lOr 27 Summary In order to evaluate the ability of CDI's acoustic circuit methodology to predict dryer loads, a "blind" benchmark test was performed using the GE Scale Model Test Facility (SMT) in San Jose CA. This test involved acquiring pressure measurements from an instrumented main steam system and steam dryer on the BWR-3 SMT facility. CDI was provided data from the eight points in the SMT steam piping, and one point on the exit plenum to the blower, as well as SMT flow and temperature information. All SMT dryer data from this test was held back in order to perform this benchmark assessment.

CDI used the data provided as input to the acoustic circuit analysis to predict scale model steam dryer fluctuating pressures. These CDI-predicted dryer pressures were then compared to the actual scale model dryer measurements in this report. Therefore, the predictions of steam dryer loads were blind, since measured steam dryer loads were not provided prior to CDl's analysis.

The CDI methodology was benchmarked in the same manner as it was applied in the full-scale VYNPS dryer acoustic analysis; using eight measurements from the main steam system to predict dryer loads. The measurements are representative of the four strain gages and four pressure sensors installed in the VY plant. The test cases were designed to assess how well the CDI acoustic model would predict acoustic pressures on the dryer when provided with the external piping measurements.

The benchmark results provide the justification and guidance for applying the CDI acoustic circuit methodology in predicting the full scale VYNPS dryer loads.

Purpose The CDI acoustic circuit analysis methodology was used to predict flow induced pressure loading on the VYNPS steam dryer. The methodology uses measurements from strain gages mounted on the main steam piping and measurements from temporary high frequency pressure sensors attached to the main steam venturi sensing lines. A blind benchmark test of the CDI methodology was conducted in order to determine the viability of the methodology.

Background

Scale Test Model Test Facility A 1:17.3 sub-scale model was used to generate data for the benchmark test (Reference 1).

The sub-scale test platform represented the Quad Cities 1 nuclear plant configuration with its original steam dryer design installed. The scale model test facility (SMT) consisted of a reactor vessel head, steam dryer and main steam piping. The model extended from the steam/water interface, located at an inlet plenum, to the turbine inlet. Main steam valves including SRV/ERVs, MSIVs, turbine control valves and turbine stop valves were included in the model at locations reflecting full scale plant configuration. The HPCI and RCIC steam supply lines were included on the associated main steam line. The SMT relied on a blower to generate a flow of ambient air through the facility in the direction of reactor steam flow. Upstream of the plenum is a muffler that served to isolate the model from blower and delivery piping noise. A venturi flow meter located between the blower and muffler was used to measure total system airflow. Two thermocouples were used to monitor air temperature in the system. All tests were performed at ambient pressure.

Microphones were installed in the SMT main steam piping, steam dryer and inlet plenum to measure the unsteady pressure oscillations in the system. The microphone circuits included pre-amplifiers. The microphones were mounted such that their diaphragms were flush with the outer surface of the steam dryer assembly or the inside surface of the pipe wall. The microphones used to collect data on the main steam lines were in the approximate locations of the strain gages and venturis on the full scale plant.

A sound generator (exciter) source was installed on the "An main steam line near the equalizing header. The purpose of this exciter was to generate a known sound signal that could be detected by the microphones in the SMT. Burst random and deterministic chirp exciter signatures were used during certain benchmark SMT test cases in order to provide a sufficiently broad range of sound frequencies.

The analog signals from the microphones were routed to a 32 channel LMS SCADAS IlIl dynamic signal analyzer, which recorded and analyzed the data. The analyzer converted the analog signal to digital data, performed signal analysis and stored the output data in digital format on a PC.

CDI developed an analytical model of the SMT for use in predicting loads on the model dryer. The SMT components and as-built dimensions were provided to CDI. CDI was provided with SMT main steam line microphone data, inlet plenum microphone data, the SMT process flow rate, SMT Temperature, and the PSD functions for the exciter sound source. CDI used this data to predict the responses at 20 selected SMT dryer microphone locations. Entergy subsequently compared the loads predicted by CDI to the subscale model dryer measured microphone data.

- - ter g x, REPORT No. VY-RPT-05-00006 Revision 0 l Page l 9 l of l 27 Evaluation Selection of Cases for the CDI Benchmark The initial Entergy review of the SMT benchmark test data was performed in San Jose on 01/13/2005. This review included the 11 original benchmark cases. In this review it was noted that the deterministic chirp and burst random signals had insufficient volume and provided negligible signal at the dryer when combined with either of the two flow cases.

Therefore, two additional cases (cases 12 and 13) were performed. The chirp volume was set loud enough to provide a good signature of the chirp signal at the dryer face when combined with flow noise. The volume had to be limited however to not saturate the microphone channels. Therefore the lower of the two flow rates was used in the Case 12 test. Case 13 used the same volume chirp signal without flow.

For each test case a minimum of 25 segments of data were collected for each run. There were 3 runs performed for each test case. During each test run more than 30 seconds of data were captured. One sound trigger per second was used for runs with the exciter allowing adequate time between sound inputs for the signal to dissipate. A review of the PSD data for each of the 1 second sound segments was performed between test runs using the digital analyzer. This review demonstrated that there was acceptable repeatability in the segments with no discernable change in the input or transmission of the sound throughout the SMT. This allowed use of data from any one of the three runs for the benchmark analysis input. The three data collection runs for each case were performed with only a brief pause between each run. The blower was kept continuously running for the flow cases.

Based on VY review of data from the 13 test conditions, four test cases were selected by Entergy for CDI use in predicting SMT dryer microphone measurements. The test cases selected for the CDI acoustic model analysis included:

In the full scale plant, the reactor vessel steam/water interface below the dryer serves as a reflective boundary for acoustic waves. In the SMT, this interface did not exist. In order to establish the conditions at the SMT interface, CDI was provided with microphone signal M30 at the outlet to the muffler. Review of the SMT data by Entergy demonstrated that the M30 microphone data had minimal coherence with microphone data on the face of the dryer or outside skirt regions. There was coherence between M30 and microphone data at the top of the dryer. It is the dryer face regions where pressure forces are highest. The dryer face forces are responsible for the major dryer loads that have likely contributed to dryer failures. Therefore, Entergy agreed to supply the M30 data to CDI for the benchmark and focus benchmark comparison on microphones on the face of the dyer.

SMT Data Uncertainty Case 1 included a 1000 Hz input signal. This was repeated in Case 10. This case was done to assess if there was any overall drift or signal change over the course of the testing.

This evaluation demonstrated that there was a larger than expected variation on amplitude as a function of temperature. Some microphones data increased as much as 20% under the higher temperature conditions during later testing. During Case 10 the temperature was allowed to cool. As the temperature approached Case 1 temperature, pressure values also returned to Case 1 values. Through multiple repeated runs at 144 CFM GE has found that that the removal and reinstallation of the microphone can have an impact on pressure amplitude.

The microphones were also subject to a pre- and post-test loop test with a calibrated sound source. (Reference 4) Results indicated that there was little change in the calibration of the microphones. Most microphones a post test sensitivity within 3%of the pre-test value. All microphones exhibited a post-test sensitivity within 6% of the pre-test values. The GE test summary containing the calibration results is attached included in Reference 4 and 5.

Selection of Dryer Microphone Data for Benchmark Comparison Microphones installed on the dryer and skirt during the test included Ml, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15,16, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 32, 33, 39, 50, and 52.

The microphone data used in the comparison was parsed to a subset that includes those microphones on the components of greatest interest; the dryer face and cover-plates.

Microphones Ml, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, and 24 were located on these components. The location of these microphones is depicted in Figure 2.

M50 and M52, located at the top of the dryer, were not included in the comparison. The acoustic model shows very good agreement with these locations, but these microphones have very similar frequency content and amplitude as microphone M30, the microphone at the outlet of the SMT muffler. The M30 data was provided to CDI to allow characterization of the boundary condition in the inlet plenum. Having the data for M30 does not make prediction of the signal at M50 and M52 a meaningful test.

The balance of microphones excluded were M25, 32, 33, and 39. These microphones were in the dryer skirt region. These regions are well below the top of the dryer and in areas were the dryer is cylindrical in shape. Flow loads in this region have negligible impact on fatigue life.

Inthe acoustic model analysis, CDI elected to use the first 8 seconds of data provided. Therefore all comparisons in this assessment were performed using the same 0 to 8 second subset of the SMT data. The CDI report documenting their blind benchmark calculation is included in Reference 6.

The first comparison performed included a review of the time domain data. The LMS system is configured for AC acquisition. This means any bias or drift has been filtered out of the data. Entergy's check of the output data demonstrated that the mean pressure data at all the microphones was approximately zero.

Figures 3a, b, c and d compare the peak amplitude from the time history data. This includes the maximum absolute pressure data over the 8 seconds of loading, or 65536 time points. In general the CDI acoustic analysis model did a good job at predicting the peak loads on the dryer. These figures also include a comparison of the Prms over the 8 seconds of loading. Prms is representative of energy in the signal. This data also compares reasonably well.

Figures 3a and 3b show that with no flow and the sound source applied, the acoustic model predicts higher loads on the dryer than the SMT measure loads.

Figures 3c shows maximum pressure for flow and low volume burst source. Here the comparison shows a better match; with microphone measurements slightly higher than the loads predicted by CDI. Figure 3d shows maximum pressure for flow and high volume chirp source. The CDI predicted acoustic loads matched reasonably well predicting slightly higher values than the microphone measurements.

While the figures compare individual microphone results, in a structural analysis of the modified full scale VYNPS steam dryer, these loads would be effectively 'integrated' by the 1" face plate and heavy 5/8" cover plate and 1/2" gussets. The following table therefore presents an average dryer face loads from the acoustic model and the SMT benchmark.

The results indicate that the averaged maximum CDI acoustic analysis predicted loads range from 160% to 91% of the SMT microphone measured loads. Therefore, the CDI ENN-DC-147 Rev. 3 Attachment 9.3

--- Ef REPORT No. VY-RPT-05-00006 I Revision 0 l Page 1 19 l of l 27 l Comparison of Microphone Data: Frequency Domain A comparison of measured versus predicted dryer frequency response was performed by converting the time history data to the frequency domain data using a Fourier transform.

The structural analysis of the dryer is performed as a dynamic analysis. Therefore the frequency characteristics of the signal can be a key factor in determining fatigue stress.

This is especially important near the natural frequency of the loaded component.

Appendices A through H include PSD Comparison plots for all dryer face microphones.

In summary Appendix, Description' A VY3RUN2, Burst with No Flow, Log and Linear Plots B VY3RUN2, Burst with No Flow, +1-10% Load Step Uncertainty C VY13R1, Chirp with No Flow, Log and Linear Plots D VYI 3R1, Chirp with No Flow, +/-10% Load Step Uncertainty E VY6RUN2, Burst with 81 CFM Flow, Log and Linear Plots F VY6RUN2, Burst with 81 CFM Flow, +/-10% Load Step Uncertainty G VY12R1, Chirp with 81 CFM Flow, Log and Linear Plots H VY12R1, Chirp with 81 CFM Flow, +/-10% Load Step Uncertainty Appendix I provides a road map for the data and file processing done in this Benchmark.

The PSD data in these Appendices was developed for a sample rate of 8192 Hz and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) size of 1024 for a bin size of 8 Hz. This provides a resolution of 400 bins in the 0 to 3200 Hz plots below. The 400 bin resolution resulted in data plots that provide a detailed yet discernable resolution in the plotted data. A Hanning window was used in the FFT calculation. The averaging was done with a 50% FFT overlap. To maintain a 8 Hz bin size, for the +10% time step PSDs the sample rate was assumed to be (8192 Hz

/ 1.1 =) 7447 Hz and the FFT size was reduced to 931. For the -10% time step PSIs the sample rate was assumed to be (8192 Hz / 0.9 =) 9102 Hz and the FFT size was increased to 1138.

Figures 4 and 5 provide a good depiction of where the acoustic model did well and not so well at predicting the frequency content of the dryer loads when there was an applied noise signal and no flow.

In Figure 4 it can be noted that the acoustic model enveloped most of the peaks of the SMT Microphone 4 data. From the log chart it is noted that the amplitude follows the SMT quite

Microphone 16 with Burst signal and 81 CFM flow (Figure 6) depicts the typical comparison of acoustic predictions and SMT data for the tests conducted with flow. With minor exception, the acoustic model envelopes the amplitude from 240 Hz through 3200 Hz. In general the acoustic model becomes more conservative above 2000 Hz. The model typically under predicts the flow noise below 240 Hz2. Inthis case you will also note that the acoustic model does not predict an SMT peak at 800 Hz.

While in general the acoustic model did well under flow conditions from 240 Hz to 3200 Hz there are still some mismatches at narrow frequency bands. The frequency content of the load at or near the fundamental structural frequencies of the dryer face components is very important to the structural response. One method to address uncertainty in the frequency content of a dynamic load is to perform the structural analysis with a plus and minus variation in the load step. Inthis benchmark, we generated additional PSD data sets varying the sample rate (Hz) by 1/0.9 and 1/1.10. This is equivalent to varying the time step

+/- 10%. Then we established an enveloping PSD curve by using the maximum value of the three PSD curves. We provide a full set of these enveloped curves in Appendices B, D, F and H. We have included an excerpt below in Figure 7 for Microphone 16, Burst signal and 81 CFM flow. As can be seen from Figure 6, the +/- 10% provides a conservative envelope of nearly all frequencies above 240 Hz.

From this benchmark it can be said that with the application of the +/-10% timestep variation that acoustic loads are conservative from 240 Hz to 3200 Hz and nonconservative at lower frequencies. Figure 8 compares the pipe signal with the dryer face signal and the acoustic model prediction at this same point for the Burst signal with 81 cfm flow. It should be noted that the pipe signal had significant noise amplitude below 240 Hz. Therefore the dryer load amplitude is reflected in the piping data.

Conversion of frequency values from the SMT to the full scale plant is as follows:

240 Hz in the SMT corresponds to -20 Hz in the full scale plant.

2000 Hz in the SMT corresponds to -160 Hz in the full scale plant.

Inthe full scale plant, the repaired dryer face first natural frequency is 77 Hz (Reference 7 and also Entergy response to NRC RAI EMEB-B-1-5 contained in BVY 04-058). Therefore it is likely that under predicting the frequency content below 20 Hz (full scale, 240 Hz SMT scale) and shifting the peak response to higher frequencies below 77 Hz would have a 2 It should be noted that the microphones response characteristics are published from 20 to 15000 Hz. Therefore ENVY cannot establish the reliability of SMT data below 20 Hz.

The acoustic model does an adequate job of predicting SMT frequency content in the 240 Hz to 2000 Hz 3 range. If a 10% load step uncertainty is applied to the data the acoustic model predictions are conservative. The acoustic model under predicts the frequency content below 20 Hz and over-predicts the high frequency content above 2000 Hz.

Fatigue assessment is generally performed with mean centered load prediction. The design margin is provided through use of the conservative fatigue stress endurance limits that provide a factor of 2 against failure. For the purpose of fatigue assessment the acoustic methodology will provide a conservative representation of full scale plant loads from 20 to 200Hz.

The . ..

full scale VY and QC mesh has a 3" element size. The 1/16" SMT scale model has a 3/16" sized mesh. The reduced size mesh being investigated by CDI required much longer to process. If the refined mesh resulted in substantial improvements in the Benchmark comparison, it would be advisable to refine the full scale model 3" mesh and regenerate dryer loads for the full scale VY model.

This provides a resolution of 400 bins in the 0 to 3200 Hz plots provided. This resolution is on par with the 1 Hz resolution used in the evaluation of full scale data from 0 to 200 Hz. The 400 bin resolution resulted in data plots that provide a detailed yet discernable resolution in the plotted data. A Hanning window was used. The averaging was done with a 50%

General Electric Company AFFIDAVIT I, George B. Stramback, state as follows:

(1) I am Manager, Regulatory Services, General Electric Company ("GE") and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph (2) which is sought to be withheld, and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.

(2) The information sought to be withheld is contained in Entergy Northeast Nuclear Engineering Report and Attachments, VY-RPT-05-00006, Acoustic Model Benchmark Dryer Acoustic Load Methodology, (This Report Contains GE Proprietary Information),

dated March 29, 2005. The proprietary information is delineated by a double underline inside double square brackets. In Appendixes A through H, the entirety of each page is proprietary. Therefore, the header of each page in those Appendixes carries the notation "GE Proprietary Informationl 3 1." In each case, the superscript notation1 31 refers to Paragraph (3) of this affidavit, which provides the basis for the proprietary determination.

(3) In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is the owner, GE relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 USC Sec. 552(b)(4), and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 USC Sec.

1905, and NRC regulations 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4), and 2.790(a)(4) for "trade secrets" (Exemption 4). The material for which exemption from disclosure is here sought also qualify under the narrower definition of "trade secret", within the meanings assigned to those terms for purposes of FOIA Exemption 4 in, respectively, Critical Mass Energy Project v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 975F2d871 (DC Cir. 1992), and Public Citizen Health Research Group v. FDA, 704F2d1280 (DC Cir. 1983).

(4) Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:

a. Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by General Electric's competitors without license from General Electric constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies;

b. Information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product;

c. Information which reveals aspects of past, present, or future General Electric customer-funded development plans and programs, resulting in potential products to General Electric;

d. Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.

(frns-ln,-n-AfVV PnterpvPRPT V-PPT-0S-0l(06 flrvar Rpnrhmnrle a-9Q-o5 A dnc A~dffidvt Pnve 1

The information sought to be withheld is considered to be proprietary for the reasons set forth in paragraphs (4)a., and (4)b, above.

(5) To address 10 CFR 2.790 (b) (4), the information sought to be withheld is being submitted to NRC in confidence. The information is of a sort customarily held in confidence by GE, and is in fact so held. The information sought to be withheld has, to the best of my knowledge and belief, consistently been held in confidence by GE, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public sources. All disclosures to third parties including any required transmittals to NRC, have been made, or must be made, pursuant to regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of the information in confidence. Its initial designation as proprietary information, and the subsequent steps taken to prevent its unauthorized disclosure, are as set forth in paragraphs (6) and (7) following.

(6) Initial approval of proprietary treatment of a document is made by the manager of the originating component, the person most likely to be acquainted with the value and sensitivity of the information in relation to industry knowledge. Access to such documents within GE is limited on a "need to know" basis.

(7) The procedure for approval of external release of such a document typically requires review by the staff manager, project manager, principal scientist or other equivalent authority, by the manager of the cognizant marketing function (or his delegate), and by the Legal Operation, for technical content, competitive effect, and determination of the accuracy of the proprietary designation. Disclosures outside GE are limited to regulatory bodies, customers, and potential customers, and their agents, suppliers, and licensees, and others with a legitimate need for the information, and then only in accordance with appropriate regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements.

(8) The information identified in paragraph (2), above, is classified as proprietary because it contains GE's benchmarking details for analysis of the design of the BWR Steam Dryer.

Development of this information and its application for the design, procurement and analyses methodologies and processes for the Steam Dryer Program was achieved at a significant cost to GE, on the order of approximately two million dollars.

This information also supports NEDC-33090P, Safely Analysis Report for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Constant Pressure Power Uprate, Class III (GE Proprietary Information), Revision 0, dated September 2003, which was submitted to the NRC. This power uprate report contains detailed results and conclusions from evaluations of the safety-significant changes necessary to demonstrate the regulatory acceptability for the power uprate of a GE BWR, utilizing analytical models, methods and processes, including computer codes, which GE has developed, obtained NRC approval of and applied to perform evaluations of the transient and accident events in the GE Boiling Water Reactor ("BWR").

The development and approval of these system, component, and thermal hydraulic models and computer codes was achieved at a significant cost to GE, on the order of several million dollars.

The development of the evaluation process along with the interpretation and application of the analytical results is derived from the extensive experience database that constitutes a major GE asset.

(9) Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to GE's competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities. The information is part of GE's comprehensive BWR safety and technology base, and its commercial value extends beyond the original development cost. The value of the technology base goes beyond the extensive physical database and analytical methodology and includes development of the expertise to determine and apply the appropriate evaluation process. In addition, the technology base includes the value derived from providing analyses done with NRC-approved methods.

The research, development, engineering, analytical and NRC review costs comprise a substantial investment of time and money by GE.

The precise value of the expertise to devise an evaluation process and apply the correct analytical methodology is difficult to quantify, but it clearly is substantial.

GE's competitive advantage will be lost if its competitors are able to use the results of the GE experience to normalize or verify their own process or if they are able to claim an equivalent understanding by demonstrating that they can arrive at the same or similar conclusions.

The value of this information to GE would be lost if the information were disclosed to the public. Making such information available to competitors without their having been required to undertake a similar expenditure of resources would unfairly provide competitors with a windfall, and deprive GE of the opportunity to exercise its competitive advantage to seek an adequate return on its large investment in developing these very valuable analytical tools.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing affidavit and the matters stated therein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.

Executed on this 3 ,t day of 2005.
