ii / 3. NSSS Reactor Coolant Loop Reanalysis Replacement Steam Generator (increase in mass and change in stiffness) constitutes a modification to Reactor Coolant Loop K Xreanalysis. For New/Modification of items, UFSAR requires use of Seismic Spectra Set B+C rather than previous Spectra Set A evaluated to Spectra B.
- Couple Interior Containment Structure (ICS) with the Reactor Coolant Loop (RCL)
.* Original:
4-Loop RCLlsupports model (uncoupled)
.- Set A Amplified Response Spectra (ARS) input at highest loop support location t Reanalysis:
Loop RCUsupports coupled with ICS A - Set B+C ARS input at basemat elevation
I__
I m u m
- Coupled ICS and RCL model used for WBN to generate ARS for SSC attachments to Shield Building SCV and ICS in accordance
, lwith UFSAR
- Similar model used by Westinghouse in other applications for RCL reanalysis for steam generator snubber elimination and/or SG
, .replacement (Wolf Creek, Callaway, Farley, McGuire, Catawba)
D Seismic Analysis Methodology
- Original: 2-D input/combination methodology per original FSAR
- Reanalysis: 3-D input/combination methodology per UFSAR
- WBN piping and supports analyzed using 3-D method for Sets B and C Seismic Input.
- UFSAR specifies 3-D for new design and modification analyses
