GE-NE-0000-00344803-02 NON PROPRIETARY VERSION 1 Introduction This report demonstrates that the installation of the replacement steam dryers in the Dresden 2

& 3 and Quad Cities 1 & 2 reactors will not affect the structural integrity of the Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) [Reference I].

The RPV / dryer support bracket and RPV / dryer guide rod bracket interfaces were analyzed per the RPV Steam Dryer Brackets Design Specification [Reference 2]. Analysis results demonstrate that RPV stresses will remain within the ASME Code Section III stress limits

[Reference 9].

2 Summary StructuralDesign Features The dryer assembly, located above the shroud head and steam separators, consists of dryer units arranged in parallel rows called banks, which are attached to the dryer support ring.

The dryer assembly includes four mounting blocks (Figure 2-1) where the dryer interfaces with the four brackets (also referred to as lugs) welded to the inside of the RPV. The dryer mounting blocks sit on each bracket, which provides a downward vertical load path. A spacer is attached to each mounting block to provide a lateral load path and the latch mechanism attached to the mounting block during installation provides dryer hold down for upward loads (Figure 2-2). During installation, the jack bolt on the top of each mounting block is torqued in order to insure contact between the dryer and each support bracket.

The RPV assembly contains two dryer guide rods, which are located 1800 apart. Each guide rod is supported by an upper and lower bracket, which are welded to the RPV. The guide rods are used to orient the dryer during assembly. Once the dryer is installed, the guide rod brackets do not interface with the dryer until the dryer is removed.

Analvsis Analyses were performed for the support bracket and guide rod bracket loads as described by the design specification [Reference 2]. General primary membrane stresses for the RPV and bearing stresses for the bracket were calculated using closed form equations with the support reaction loads from finite element analyses of the entire dryer. Primary bending stress in the bracket was calculated using force equilibrium and ANSYS finite element analyses. Local primary membrane and bending stresses in the RPV were calculated using the ANSYS finite element model shown in Figure 2-3 which includes the dryer support bracket and adjoining segments of the RPV vessel. Local peak stresses in the weld were calculated using an ANSYS finite element model.

As shown in Table 2-1, all stress limits are satisfied.

GE-NE-0000-00344803-02 NON PROPRIETARY VERSION 3 Assumptions The load combination identified as "Design 2, Installation Service Level," evaluates the loads that occur during the installation of the dryer. For this load combination, the weight of the dryer, lifting device and crane hook is transferred to two support brackets. This is conservative, as three points are required to statically support the dryer. Once installed, three points will define the plane of the dryer, so for all load cases, the dryer weight is evenly divided between three brackets. The remaining bracket will not support any dryer weight, but it will carry the jack bolt preload. Installation includes tightening all jack bolts to a specified maximum preload, which forces the jack bolt to make contact with the top of the support bracket. ((

)) All operational loads, excluding the weight, will be distributed among the four brackets.

4 Material Properties The support brackets and guide rod brackets are made of SA182, Class F304 austenitic stainless steel, and are welded to the RPV shell segments, which are SA302 Grade B steel plate [References 5,6]. Table 4-1 shows the material properties from the Dresden and Quad Cities Codes of Construction [References 7, 8,] for the design stress intensity, yield strength and elastic modulus. The tensile strength was obtained from the 1998 ASME Code

[Reference 9] because this property was not included in the Codes of Construction, except as a Minimum Value. The Su Minimum Values from the Codes of ConstructionfReferences 5,6]

match the Su at 1000 F from 1998 ASME Code[Reference 9].

GE-NE-0000-00344803-02 NON PROPRIETARY VERSION 5 Structural Acceptance Criteria The RPV / support bracket and RPV/ guide rod bracket interfaces were analyzed using design rules and stress limits [Section NB, Reference 9] and the appropriate properties from Table 4-1. The limits for the bolt bearing stress are based on a non-free edge condition because of the design configuration; should the bolt bearing stress result in a vertical displacement of the dryer, the load and strain will be redistributed to the mounting block, resulting in a limited small displacement under the bearing bolt. The bearing stress under the total footprint of the mounting block is limited to the free edge stress limit. The stress limits are summarized in Table 5-1.

GE-NE-0000-00344803-02 NON PROPRIETARY VERSION 6 Load Combinations 6.1 Support Bracket Load Combinations The RPV/support bracket interface was analyzed using the load combinations [References 2 and 3] except as follows:

  • The support bracket loads for TSV2 are significantly less than TSVI, so Combination B I (DW + Pn + DPn + TSVI + FIVn) will encompass Combination B2 (DW + Pn + DPn + TSV2).
  • The ACI loads are more severe than the AC2 loads, so Combination DIA (DW +

Pn + DPn + [SSE 2+ACI 2 ]j5 4 FlVn ) will encompass Combination D2A (DW +

DPn + AC2 : FIVn)

The combinations shown in Table 6-1 control the support bracket design.

GE-NE-0000-00344803-02 NON PROPRIETARY VERSION 7.2 Support Bracket Loads Individual Load Cases A finite element model 0 of the entire dryer was used to generate the support bracket loads for all load cases except FIV and RPV internal pressure. This dryer model has a weight of ((

11 and a center of gravity of(( Ilabove the center of the support bracket. This is conservative compared to the actual measured weight of (( 11 The support reactions at each mount location were extracted for each load case and the following processing was performed:

  • Dead Weipht: The model is constrained at all four mount locations, so the vertical reaction force is the weight/4. This analysis assumes the weight is carried by only three of the support brackets, so the vertical reaction force at each mounting location is manually set to weight/3. No changes are made to the radial or tangential reaction forces.

Each of the fourjack bolts will have a maximum torque of f[f 1

[Reference 17] The thread diameter is (( )), and the friction coefficient consistent with thejack bolt lubricant is (( )), so the maximum axial load from the jack bolt is (( )) The bolt preload is applied to the mounting block that does not carry any dryer weight.

  • TSVI: The Reaction Forces from TSVI pressure loads are reduced by a factor of

(( )), which is consistent with more refined analyses.

  • OBE and SSE: The reaction forces for these cases are a root sum square combination of the following individual runs: NS Zero Period Acceleration (ZPA) static, EW ZPA static, Vertical ZPA static, NS response spectrum and EW response spectrum. The ZPA cases are included because the response spectrum was only evaluated to 33 Hz.

The normal FIV loads came from time history analyses using a finite element model similar to the one described above, except that super-elements were used to represent the vane banks and the skirt. The results of the Scale Model Test nominal, +10%, -10% and In Plant nominal, +10%, -10% profiles, run with 1% structural damping, were reviewed in order to identify the limiting profile, which was In Plant -10%. This time history was rerun with 2%

structural damping, to be consistent with the nature of the dryer, which is a welded steel structure, partially submerged in water, and containing vane bank inserts that allow for sliding and contact. The maximum absolute value for each reaction force at each mount location from the In Plant -10%, 2% structural damping time history was used to represent the FIV normal loads. The FIV upset loads are 1.5 x the FIV normal loads [Reference 4].

GE-NE-0000-0034-4803-02 NON PROPRIETARY VERSION 7.4 RPV Local Primary Membrane and Bending Stresses Per Paragraph NB-3213.10 [Reference 9], a stress region is considered local if the distance over which the primary membrane stress intensity exceeds 1.1 Sm does not extend in the meridional direction more than 1.0 x 4(Rt), where R is the midsurface radius of the vessel and t is the thickness of the vessel. Analyses were performed using ANSYS Code [Reference 13]

to show that the primary membrane stresses from the bracket loads are within the local stress region and to predict the maximum local stresses.

7.4.1 Analysis Model The analysis model (Figure 2-3) is composed of solid elements (ANSYS SOLID45) and includes the support bracket and surrounding shell region. The RPV shell in the model spans a total of 800, which is the smallest distance between adjacent support brackets. The height is a total of 130".

7.4.2 Boundary Conditions Symmetry boundary conditions (no displacement out of the symmetry plane) were applied on the vertical boundaries of the analysis model. Vertical support was assumed at the lower edge of the model. The axial (Blow off) pressure load (-10.0*P) was applied to the shell top surface Boundary conditions are shown in Figure 7-3. Analysis was performed for each of the nine Load Combinations using loads from Table 7-2 and internal pressures from Section 6.2.

For each Load Combination, the maximum value of FR, FT, FZ from any of the four mounts is conservatively applied to one mount. The RPV pressure load was applied as a surface load at the inner radius of the RPV shell and inner surface of the support bracket.. The tangential and vertical bracket loads were applied as pressure loads on the side and top surfaces respectively. The top surface is selected because all vertical loads from Table 7-2 act downward. The radial loads are evenly distributed at the nodes located at the top bearing surface. Examples of the load applications are included in Figure 7-4 26 RPV Bracket Stress Report

GE-NE-0000-00344803-02 NON PROPREETARY VERSION 7.4.3 Analysis Results Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6 show the stress distribution in the RPV shell for the two limiting load combinations, Design 1 and DI A.

The primary membrane or primary membrane plus bending stress intensities were extracted for each load case by linearizing the stresses within ANSYS. Stresses were linearized across the RPV thickness in the radial direction at the location of maximum stress in the RPV elements (Figure 7-7, Figure 7-9) in order to extract the local primary membrane and primary membrane plus bending stresses. Stresses were linearized across the RPV thickness at the axial location of the maximum stress at an meridinal distance equal to 4(Rt) =SQRT( ((

)) in order to extract the primary membrane stress (Figure 7-8, Figure 7-9) and demonstrate that the bracket loads are local. The results are shown in Table 7-6, where it is seen that the primary membrane stresses at '/(Rt), are within 1.1 Sm = ((

))ksi. Therefore the bracket loads are a local effect and will be evaluated as local primary membrane and local primary membrane plus bending stresses for the RPV Table 7-6 RPV Linearized Stress Intensity At location of maximum S.I. At 4(Rt)

The contribution of the OBE load is evaluated by comparing Load Combination A (no OBE) to Load Combination B (with OBE). Stresses at select nodes were extracted to determine the maximum stress difference between these two analyses, which gives an alternating stress of (( )). The Stainless Steel Fatigue curve [Fig. N415(B) of Reference 7 and 8] predicts approximately (( )) for a stress amplitude of ((

run with 2% structural damping. The time steps defining the minimum and maximum stresses from the time history file were used to determine the force range. This differs from the FIVn loads reported in Table 7-1, which used the entire time history to define the extreme value of each force. The alternating Force (F,a) is found from Force Range/2, and shown in Table 7-7 for the limiting lug location.

The Primary Membrane Stress at the weld is Pm = FR,a/ A where A= Bracket width XBracket height (( ]

There are no secondary stresses acting on the weld, so Pm+Pb+Q =Pm + Pb,t + Pb,v This value is calculated in Table 7-7 FIV Primary Membrane plus Primary Bending Stress Force Range FR (( lb FT lb FZ lb Stress Range Pm ksi Pb,t ksi Pb,v ksi Pm+Pb+Q ksi Alternating Force FRa lb FT,a lb FZ,1 )) lb Because Pm+Pb+Q )) the fatigue threshold from Curve B of Figure I-9-2-2

The load occurs during assembly, so there is no RPV internal pressure and the associated temperature is 1200 F.

The upper and lower guide rod brackets have the same design except that the upper bracket is longer than the lower bracket. Both are (( )) at the base and the guide for the rod has an (( )) chamfers on each edge[ 15, 16].

GE-NE-0000-00344803-02 NON PROPRIETARY VERSION 7.7 Design Margins RPV primary membrane stress intensity is from Table 7-3 , the support bracket bearing stress intensities is from Table 74, support bracket primary shear and bending stresses are from Table 7-5, RPV local primary membrane stress intensities and primary membrane + bending stress intensities are shown in Table 7-6. The FIV peak stress is from Figure 7-11.

RPV general primary membrane stress intensity and guide rod bracket shear and bearing stress intensities are calculated in Section 7.6.

These stress intensities are compared with the applicable stress limits in Table 2-1. The comparison shows that all ASME Code limits are satisfied.
