Both RHR and CS pumps are being evaluated for their response to potential transient conditions that may occur due to various system scenarios. TVA Browns Ferry has provided system transient scenarios; data includes flows, times and available NPSHa data for both the RHR and Core Spray Pumps, as follows:

For both RHR & CS pumps test and order related data/information was collected for evaluation:

o All certified tests were collected; o

Available development/model test results were located and copied; o

Product test records/notes were collected; o

Individual Bill of Materials were copied; o

Field records were assembled.

As a basis for evaluation, certified witness test performance curves, for both pump sets, were averaged to produce an "average performance" for each pump type. Development test data was used to create NPSHr curves, at 1% and 3% head loss, for both models.

Theoretical NPSHr calculations utilize Sulzer's current standard for recommended (40k hours at BEP) NPSHr and "cavitation free" NPSHr from "Centrifugal Pumps: Design &

Application", 2 nd Edition, Lobanoff & Ross, Gulf Publishing, 1992.

SULZER ugust 14, 2006 Sulzer Pmps (US) Inc Transient NPSH Study E12.5.1296 Revision 1, 10/05/2006 Minimum NPSHa vs. NPSHr evaluation is accomplished by plotting/comparison of calculated and empirical NPSH data to determine hydraulic/mechanical implications of transient events.

Technical Background for Analyzing NPSH test data: To evaluate the response of a pump to a transient event, and make a meaningful prediction for post event operating life, the behavior of the pump in the NPSH "knee" must be thoroughly understood.

NPSH performance assessments are related to the knees of the plotted NPSH data. Plots of NPSH vs. head (from NPSH test data) as the NPSH is reduced incrementally from ample suction pressure, will show that the head responds by staying constant, varying or dropping:

o The "knee" is the area on an NPSH test curve where the head degrades more rapidly before falling off totally.

The shape of an NPSH knee is an important factor in recommending minimum NPSHr values. A knee may have a sharp or more rounded profile, each with its own implications:

o When the knee is sharp, various head drop comparisons (1%, 3%, 6%, etc.) occur at about the same NPSH value.

o Operation near a sharp knee is not recommended.

o In a well-rounded knee the various head drop comparisons occur over a wider range of NPSH values. The wider range of response allows operating recommendations with less margin.

NPSH data for both pump models is from development testing. Aspects of data collection include:

o Several test points are required to define a knee.

o Occasionally, test stand limitations do not allow suppression to a low enough NPSH to completely define the knee - i.e. the 3%, 6%, drop-off points may not be captured on test. Under some conditions these tests can still be used to evaluate acceptable operation in response to a transient event.

o If the head remains stable below the minimum proposed transient event NPSHA, the test is still a good validation tool - i.e. while the head may not have degraded enough to define the knee,in response to a lowering of the NPSH (a true "knee" has not been established), the stable head response shows that the pump is suitable for operation.

Modeling from similar pumps is another long established pump industry method with a basis in ANSI/Hydraulic Institute, ASME and other standards. Size factored NPSHr values (from models of similar pumps) are commonly used to make NPSH recommendations.

o Modeling has not been used in this study.

NPSHr curves based on 1% and 3% head loss are from development tests of these impellers, and represent the standard (Hydraulic Institute) method for determining NPSH; o

SULZER August 14, 2006 Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc Transient NPSH Study E12.5.1296 Revision 1, 10/05/2006 When the previously tabulated transient NPSHa cases are compared to the plots of RHR II, it is seen that the minimum NPSHa value from each event, except for the ST-LOCA-BL is equal, or greater, than the (standard) 3% curve at the same flow:

o LT-LOCA is above the "Recommended" NPSHr curve; o

APP R, ATWS and SBO are between the 1% and 3% head loss curves; o ST-LOCA-IL (10500 gpm) is above the 3% head loss curve; o

ST-LOCA-BL (11500 gpm) is below the 3% head loss curve.

Since some cavitation exists at reduced NPSHa scenarios, a graph defining NPSHr vs.

Operating Life (Curve 3 - as follows) based on mechanical damage (erosion) estimates has been developed in addition to the preceding NPSH analysis.

8000 hours0.0926 days <br />2.222 hours <br />0.0132 weeks <br />0.00304 months <br /> (-1 year) has been selected as an adequate post transient event operational life. This is an estimate of the minimum life expectancy that will produce similar damage (during low NPSHa events) as that expected from an impeller operating with NPSHa above the "recommended" (40,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br />) NPSHr curve:

o At the graphical NPSHr values for the origin (.01 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />) these are high suction energy pumps. The resulting lack of sufficient NPSH margin would result in life reduction (due to cavitation damage) if operated continually in the suppressed state; o Sulzer's graph provides a guideline for operating at the lowest possible NPSHa, while requiring an increase, over time, adequately removing enough energy from the pump to prevent catastrophic failure; o

The recommended minimum NPSHr (time.01 hours1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />), at all flows, range from slightly above 3% up to 6% head loss.

o Based on post-test inspection of the tested pumps the graph is conservative since the inspected impellers showed no damage; o

Pumps were run for extended periods (2-3 hours) at 1% to 6% head loss without losing suction, despite surging, noise and increased vibration; o

Several tests included NPSHa reduction to initiate loss of suction.

Pumps recovered, with no visible damage, after NPSH was restored; o

NPSHa increase over time, as dictated by the graph at a given flow, insures that recommended NPSH levels/duration will be less severe than that experienced during testing.

SULZER August 14, 2006 Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc Transient NPSH Study E12.5.1296 Revision 1, 10/05/2006 RHR Results and

Conclusions:

The subject pumps have been analyzed and found to be suitable for reduced NPSHa operation, as described above, with equipment in "as new" condition, with exceptions as noted.

Curve 3 provides a guideline for operational life vs. NPSHa as a general recommendation for operation when the pumps may be subject to transient events outside of their original scope.

Recommendations are also provided specifically to address the potential transient events provided by TVA Browns Ferry:

o Transient events identified as LT-LOCA, ATWS, SBO, APPR, ST-LOCA-IP all provide NPSHA values above the minimum established NPSHr, as established in the operating life graph (curve 3). They meet the criteria for determining operational life vs. NPSHa from the graph.

o The ST-LOCA-BL event provides NPSHA values below the required NPSH shown on the graph.

Analysis methodology compared test derived NPSHr values with those predicted theoretically. The pumps were evaluated against this comparative basis in order to predict the remaining operational life of a pump in the aftermath of a transient event; o

An 8000 hour0.0926 days <br />2.222 hours <br />0.0132 weeks <br />0.00304 months <br /> post-transient operational lifetime was developed, based on similar cavitation damage to the 40,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> "recommended" NPSHr curve; the curve is well supported by the NPSH analysis and mechanical response on the test stand; o

Graphical NPSHa levels and duration are less severe than that actually experienced on the test stand; o

Empirical test information has been verified by one of the original test Engineers; o

Despite NPSH testing that was more severe than the "recommended" curve, post-test inspection revealed no damage.

When pumps are in an "undamaged" condition they can be operated in accordance within the NPSHA guidelines provided with the expectation of the 8000 hour0.0926 days <br />2.222 hours <br />0.0132 weeks <br />0.00304 months <br /> life described.

LT-LOCA, ATWS, SBO, APPR and ST-LOCA-IP transient scenarios are within the operating recommendations established in curve 3:

o Although vibration and noise may increase as a result of the transient events the units should continue pumping; o

Any non-detrimental impeller wear will be in accordance with the operational life graph.

SULZER August 14, 2006 Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc Transient NPSH Study E12.5.1296 Sulzr Pmps US)IncRevision 1, 10/05/2006 The ST-LOCA-BL scenario falls outside of the established operating recommendations:

o Although vibration and noise should increase due to surging and cavitation from the transient event, the units should continue operation; o

Some detrimental damage is likely, due to the transient event, but should not be catastrophic. After 10 minutes, if the operational life graph is followed the pumps will continue to function.

Curve 5: CS Test and Calculated NPSH "Recommended" NPSH (as plotted) is Sulzer's theoretical recommendation for 40,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> life, based on limited cavitation damage to the impeller.

o Comparison to the "cavitation free" curve (Lobanoff & Ross) shows that some cavitation occurs at the "recommended" NPSHr. The slight erosion damage that occurs at this level is the basis for 40,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> criterion.

NPSHr curves based on 1% and 3% head loss are from development tests of these impellers, and represent the standard (Hydraulic Institute) method for determining NPSH; o The same comparison as above demonstrates that slight cavitation will occur at these NPSH values.

Conclusions:

The subject pumps have been analyzed and found to be suitable for reduced NPSHa operation, as described above, with equipment in "as new" condition.

Curve 6 provides a guideline for operational life vs. NPSHa as a general recommendation for operation when the pumps may be subject to transient events outside of their original scope.

Recommendations are also provided specifically to address the potential transient events provided by TVA Browns Ferry:

o Both potential LOCA events (as tabulated) provide NPSHA values above the minimum established NPSHr (as established in the operating life graph) and are acceptable - i.e. they meet the criteria for determining operational life vs.

NPSHa from the graph (curve 6).

Analysis methodology compared test derived NPSHr values with those predicted theoretically. The pumps were evaluated against this comparative basis in order to predict the remaining operational life of a pump in the aftermath of a transient event; o

An 8000 hour0.0926 days <br />2.222 hours <br />0.0132 weeks <br />0.00304 months <br /> post-transient operational lifetime was developed, based on similar cavitation damage to the 40,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> "recommended" NPSHr curve; the curve is well supported by the NPSH analysis and mechanical response on the test stand; o Graphical NPSHa levels and duration are less severe than that actually experienced on the test stand; o Empirical test information has been verified by one of the original test Engineers; o

Despite NPSH testing that was more severe than the "recommended" curve, post-test inspection revealed no damage.

When pumps are in an "undamaged" condition they can be operated in accordance within the NPSHA guidelines provided with the expectation of the 8000 hour0.0926 days <br />2.222 hours <br />0.0132 weeks <br />0.00304 months <br /> life described.

The tabulated transients are acceptable scenarios within the operating recommendations established in curve 6:

o Although vibration and noise may increase as a result of the transients, the units should continue pumping; o

Any non-detrimental impeller wear will be in accordance with the operational life graph.

For both RHR d& C st and order related data/information was collected for evaluation:

K o Al tests were collected; abdevelopment/model test results were located and copied; Jct test records/notes were collected; dividual Bill of Materials were copied;

=ield records were assembled.

As a basis for evaluation, certified witness test performance curves, for both pump sets, were averaged to produce an "average performance" for each pump type. Development test data was used to create NPSHr curves, at 1% and 3% head loss, for both models.

Theoretical NPSHr calculations utilize Sulzer's current standard for recommended (40k hours at BEP) NP5Hr and "cavitation free" NP5Hr from "Centrifugal Pumps: Design &

Application", 2nd Edition, Lobanoff At Ross, Gulf Publishing, 1992.

3/35 August 14, 2006

SULZER August 14, 2006 Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc Transient NPSH Study E12.5.1296 Pump Minimum NPSHa vs. NPSHr evaluation is accomplished by plotting/comparison of calculated and empirical NP5H data to determine hydraulic/mechanical implications of transient events.

Technical Background for Analyzing NPSH test data: To evaluate the response of a pump to a transient event, and make a meaningful prediction for post event operating life, the behavior of the pump in the NPSH "knee" must be thoroughly understood.

NPSH performance assessments are related to the knees of the plotted NPS ata. Plots of NPSH vs. head (from NPSH test data) as the NPSH is reduced incremenI lyl m ample suction pressure, will show that the head responds by staying corl*n ing or dropping:

va o The "knee" is the area on an NPSH test curve where th, rades more rapidly before falling off totally.

The shape of an NP5H knee is an important factor in rec e

minimum NPSHr values. A knee may have a sharp or more rounded pro a

with its own implications:

o When the knee is sharp, various head dr parisons (1%, 3%, 6%, etc.) occur at about the same NPSH value.

o Operation near a sharp kne*c*omnmended.

o In a well-rounded knee the var*

he drop comparisons occur over a wider range of NPSH values. The i e of response allows operating recommendations wit NPSH data for both pump models i development testing. Aspects of data collection include:

o Several tet ointare required to define a knee.

o Occasio I* est stand limitations do not allow suppression to a low enough NPSH to

'p ly define the knee - i.e. the 3%, 6%, drop-off points may not be c

test. Under some conditions these tests can still be used to e*

~eptable operation in response to a transient event.

the head remains stable below the minimum proposed transient event NPSHA, the test is still a good validation tool - i.e. while the head may not have degraded enough to define the knee,in response to a lowering of the NPSH (a true "knee" has not been established), the stable head response shows that the pump is suitable for operation.

Modeling from similar pumps is another long established pump industry method with a basis in ANSI/Hydraulic Institute, ASME and other standards. Size factored NPSHr values (from models of similar pumps) are commonly used to make NPSH recommendations.

o Modeling has not been used in this study.

SULZER August 14,2006 Sulzer Pumps (US) Inc Transient NPSH StudyI E12.5.1296 Pump RHR Pump NPSH Assessment and Analysis: Test and calculated NPSH values are analyzed and compared against the proposed transient events.

Performance curves 27935, 27811, 27936, 27801-04, 28267 and 28941-43 have been averaged relative to head and efficiency vs. flow and plotted as curve RHR I. For the basis of NPSH assessment, test points for NPSHR-3% and NPSHR-1% (4 capacities) have also been plotted on curve RHR I based on development testing (NPSH test data has been tabulated in Appendix A).

Specific speed (Ns) and Suction Specific Speed (Nss) for both 3% andI are as follows:

The *tI d transients are acceptable scenarios within the operating recommendations establisld in curve 6:
