NRC Question 1 Question: (StateQuestion from Matrix)

If the pump tripped at high vibes can it restart?

Answer and Basis: If the pump were immediately restarted, it probably would not restart due to the thermal expansion of the shaft forcing the impeller into the bowl liner.

The pump motor would probably trip on instantaneous overeurrent. If the pump sat idle.

for some period of time, at least several minutes, the temperature of the :shaft would have time to cool down and shrink creating a ciearaict between the impellerand bowl liner. If gland water were introduced to the pump prior to restarting it, the shaft would shrink enough to allow the pump to be restarted almost immediately due to the increased impeller to bowl liner clearance.

A NRC Question 3 Question:

If two pumps are operating is there a potential synergistic effect from high vibrations?

Answer and Basis:

No adverse synergistic effect from high vibrations would be expected to occur.

During the 90 minute :portion of the pump test when gland water was isolated, high acceleration levels (7.02g maximum) on the pump structure occurred at frequencies between 70-80 hz. At these high frequency levels, the Intake Structure is not susceptible to amplification. The service water pumps/motors have a relatively small mass compared to the mass of the supporting Intake Structure, therefore, vibratory energy from the pumps would not be effectively transferred between the two pumps. Consequently, the'vibrating pumps would not cause any adverse structural response to the building structure or from one pump to the other., Since both pumps are supported similarlyfrom the Intake Structure floor slab .and walls, no adverse :interaction (pump/motor or structure failure) would be expected even from two vibrating pumps.

Reinforced concrete building structures, including the Intake Structure, typically respond with amplification, including high displacements, at low frequencies (<1 0 hz). During the pump test, no adverse structural damage occurred to the'pump column, pump column anchorage, or motor and *pumpdischarge head support structure. Thisfact supports the contention that no pump supporting striucture amplification would be expected. In addition,

'the Intake Structure and service water pump configuration are more robust and have more mass than the test configuration. Consequently, any response to the vibrating pumps in the Intake Structure should be less severe than for the test configuration.

NRC Question 5 Question: (State Question from Matrix)

Differences between motor bearings (square -vs- round) and oil sample results.

Answer and Basis:

The bearing differiences between the square and round motors are judged not to have an effect on'the test-performed at RTS. The bearing locations in both motors are similar, the thrust bearings in both motors are identical'and the differences in the guide bearings are negligible. Additionally the oil sample results.showed no signs of bearing degradation.

Service'Water Pump Motor'Bearing Differences

'The Service Water pump motors currently installed at CNS and the motor used in the test performed by RTS are equivalent but not identical. This paper serves to evaluate and differences in bearing location and possible differences bet'veen the bearings used in each motor.

The model numbers for each of the motors are:

GE Model Number 5K6328XC234A - Round Motor (original SW pump motors)

GE Model Number 5KS51 IDT7403HB - Square Motor (spare)

Motor Bearing Location Each motor has one lower deep groove ball bearing which limits axial rotor motion

.(guide bearing) and'two angular contact ball bearings (stacked together) which are used as a thrust bearing.

The location of the guide bearing for the round motor is just above the mounting flange

ýand the'thiust bearings are located just below the top of the motor. The exact locations of the bearings in the square motor are not precisely known. However, the bearings are typically located at the ends of the motor (as they are in the round motor) and this is further supported by the location of the oil reservoirs (the bearings are oil lubricated) which are at the ends of the square motor. Since the square motor is approximately 5

inches taller than the round motor it can be concluded that the maximum difference between the thrust and guide bearings in the square motor is 5 inches longer than that of.

the round motor.

As the bearing placement in both motors is consistent, :it is judged that aany small difference in the distance between the bearings between the two motors Would have a negligible effect'on the test performed at RTS.

Bearing Information CNS Vendor Manual 1701 and the work~history for the Service Water motors show that the thrust bearing for the installed Service Water PumpMotors 'is a SKF 7230 BCBM.

Information on the square (test) motor thrust bearings was obtained from the manufacturer (GE) and these bearings were also found to be SKF model 7230 BCBM.

  • Races - SAE 52100 bearing steel fails B -'SAE 52100 bearing steel

- Cage-Brass Suffix Designation - C3: Bearing inter~ial clearance greater than normal S i: Bearing drigs'or washers dimensionally stabilized for use at operating temperatures up to +2000 C Guide Bearing Differences The lower bearings for the square and round motors are both single row deep groove ball bearings but they are not physically the same size. The bore and outside diameters as well as the bearing width are all slightly (the largest variation is 5mi) larger for the bearing in the round motor. 'This increase in bearing size is judged to have no effect on the test performed by RTS as the change in dimension is almost negligible.

The load ratings (both dynamic and static) of the bearing in the square motor are less than those of the round motor bearings. Therefore, using the square motor lower bearing would be more conservitive as it would fail under a smaller load.

The cage material for both bearings is different. This difference (brass versus steel) is judged to'have'no effect on the test performed at RTS as the function of the cage is to position the balls in the bearing and the cage material has no effect on any critical characteristic of the bearing.

The C3S1 suffix on the square motor bearings specifies a greater than normal internal bearing clearance ýand that the bearing is capable of operating at temperatures of over 200,C (the motoroperates at temperatures much less than this). 'The internal clearance on the square motor bearing being larger than that of the bearing on the round motor is judged to have'no effect on the test as the side loading of this motor should be minimal.

The greater internal clearance on the square motor would result in more axial 'play' in the square motor. This would result in more give at the lower guide bearing and would be more conservative as it would allow more shaft (both motor and pump) deflection than the motors installed in the plant.

Oil Sample Results The oil sample results are attached and show no bearing degradation.

0 NRC Question 8 Question: (State Question from Matrix)

If using fire service water to recover GW,'then what was the delta-T :and would that temperature difference cause a further problem?

Answer and Basis:

If fire water was used to recover gland water early in the event where the shaft has not heated up, he firewaterwould be initially close to ambient'temperature (-70 deg F) due to stagnant water in the piping in the SW pump room and would slowly cool down to -55 deg F due to the buried fire Water supply pipe. This would cause the shaft to expand comparing it to the water temperature.that existed at the time of the event (-40 deg F)

This 30 deg F and 15 deg F delta.may cause the shaft to expand upto 0.045". However, the clearance at this point was approximately .080." - -0.030" (downthrust) = 0.050".

Therfore ifthe shaft were to expand approximately another 0.045", the impeller would" not hit the liner.

If fire water was used to recover gland water during the impeller rubbing event, the shaft would immediately start to cool and shrink, increasing the bowl to liner clearance.

Therefore there would be no affectsince theimpeller has already wom into the liner and the clearance has increased.

If fire water was `used to recover gland water after the event, the firewater would be initially close to ambient temperature (-70 deg F) due to stagnant waterin the piping in the SW pump room and would slowlycool down to -55 deg F due to the buried fire water supply pipe. This would cause the shaft0to expand comparing it to the Water temperature that existed at the time of the event (-40 deg F) This 30 deg F and 15 deg F delta may cause the shaft to expand up to 0.045". However, the clearance at this point was approximately 0.118" - -0.030" (downthrust) = 0.088". Therfore if the shaft were to expand approximately another 0.045", the impeller would not hit the'liner.

How would Operations respond to the Overload Ground Annunciator?

If the running SW pump is the only available pump and supplying cooling water to the Emergency Diesel Generator, then it would continue to be run.:

Alarm card would be referenced for guidance. Continue to monitor DG loading and SW pump amps, and assess and evaluate plant conditions. Dispatch operator, if not already in the SWPR to check local operation of the pump. If the pump was to trip and the second pump was available to be started, then the second pump would be started based on Crew 2 pump and securing the supervision judgment. There'is possibility of starting the fd

pump with high amps also based on crew supervision judgment.

Basis: Plant conditions require SW cooling to supply the EDG's. Continue to monitor the pump for worsening conditions, while investigation is ongoing into the high amp

.condition. Operating judgment of amps bff scale could lead to the 2 nd pump 'being started before the first pump is turned off.

The natural frequency of the test configuration is unique in that it has an overall resonance (natural frequency) of 20 Hz, which happens to be very near the motor/pump operating speed of 1195 rpm (19.92 Hz). This is primarily due to'the contribution from the motor to the overall resonance. This was expected since that, motor, when previously used in the plant, also produced an overall natural frequency near 20 Hz.

Weights were added to the test configuration to shift the resonance response away from operating speed. This resulted in a 15% frequency shift. The final test configuration frequency response was measured at about 17 Hz.

The insitu configuration used a different style motor. An impact test performed on the insitu configuration found that the overall natural frequency is more than 15 % away from the operating speed (1180 rpm).

Both configurations, the test configuration and the insitu configuration, have natural frequencies:

farenough away from running speed to minimize any motor resonance amplification.

NRC Question 2 Question: (State Question from Matrix)

Given a LOOP, what is the EDG loading at the time of high amps?

Answer and Basis:

The EDG loading is calculated as bounding number based on the most limiting accident sequence, which is theLOCA. This accident sequence uses the most equipment

simultaneously, and thereby provides the maximum loading on the EDG. The major loads during this maximum are one CS, one RHR, one SWBP, one SW, one REC, one SGT, and essential 480 buss loads from:the vital busses. This maximum loading occurs

,after the first 10 minutes when it is assumed that one RHR pump has been secured and one SWBP has beenstarted. This results in a maximum loading of DG2 of 3865 MW, which is below the 4 MW continuous rating for the unit.

Since this scenario is a'loss ofkoffsite power, plant trip, and failure ofDG1, theloads on the DG will be significantly less than the bounding calculation. The loads that would automatically be on for this event Would be one REC, one SW, and one.SGT (a Group VI from the LOSP would automatically start the fans) plus essential 480 loads from The vital buses.

Based on Operations input, one additional REC pump, one additional RHR pump and one additional SWBP would most likely be added in the first090 minutes to support suppression pool cooling.

"The observed amps for the SW pump in'the test did not exceed twice the normal amps,

and therefore will be conservatively assumed to be equivalent to tWo'SW pumps.

In addition, to maximize the loading it is assumed in this -eValuation that based on'the alarm function of the high amps observed on the SW pump, one additional SW pump would be started prior to securing'the high amP*rage 'SW pump. Since the peak currents would not occur concurrently, this results in an equivalent of three 'SW pumps.

Therefore this represents a delta from the maximum loading of one less CS pump, one more REC pump, and two more SW pumps.

Operators are trained to 5.3EMPWR which aliows operations to :add additional loads provided they maintain below the applicable ratings for the DG. Included in this procedure is guidance that identifies the power requirements for the -load attached to the DG unit, so that the appropriate amount could be taken off of the DG unit before adding any additional loads.

From the above the loads and 5.3EMPWR the load would be:

3865 KW (Worst case bounding loading for a LOCA)

-10453 KW (Core Spray)

+ 259.5 KW (one SW)

+ 259.5 KW (one SW)

+ 63.1 KW (one REC) 3401.8 KW Since the new loading is less than the bounding DG loading, and the both are less than the rating of the DG unit, the additional amps observed during the testing will not impact DG loading.
