Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.1-1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PLANT

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The FSAR was submitted in support of the application of the Virginia Electric and Power Company (Vepco), Richmond, Virginia, for the Class 103 facility operating licenses, special nuclear materials licenses, by-product materials licenses, and source materials license required for the operation of Vepcos North Anna Power Station Units 1 and 2. The application was submitted as a combined application for all licenses required for the operation of North Anna Units 1 and 2 as permitted by 10 CFR 50.31.

The North Anna Units 1 and 2 PSAR was filed with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) on March 21, 1969, and Docket Nos. 50-338 (Unit 1) and 50-339 (Unit 2) were assigned.

On February 19, 1971, Construction Permits CPPR-77 and CPPR-78 were issued for North Anna Units 1 and 2, respectively.

North Anna Units 1 and 2 are located on a site on the southern shore of Lake Anna in Louisa County, approximately 40 miles north-northwest of Richmond. Lake Anna was created by impounding excess waters of the North Anna River and was developed by Vepco. Water from Lake Anna is used as a cooling medium for surface condensers and other heat exchanger equipment at the North Anna Power Station.

North Anna Units 1 and 2 each includes a three-coolant-loop pressurized light water reactor nuclear steam supply system and turbine generator furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The balance of the plant was designed and constructed by Vepco with the assistance of its agent, Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation.

The nuclear steam supply system is similar in design concept to several such systems licensed by the AEC, including Vepcos Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2. The containments, which house the major nuclear steam supply system components of each unit, are steel-lined, reinforced-concrete structures that use dry, subatmospheric operation concepts. The containments are similar in design concept to those employed in several projects reviewed by the AEC, including Vepcos Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2.

Each reactor unit was originally designed for a licensed core power output of 2775 MWt (this corresponds to a nuclear steam supply system rating of 2785 MWt). This core power would result in a gross electrical output of approximately 947 MWe and a net electrical output of approximately 907 MWe with a circulating water temperature of 75°F, and a net electrical output of approximately 898 MWe with a circulating water temperature of 88°F. Each reactor was originally expected to be capable of achieving an ultimate core power level of 2900 MWt (this corresponds to a nuclear steam supply system rating of 2910 MWt). This core power would result in a gross electrical output of approximately 984 MWe and a net electrical output of

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.1-2 approximately 944 MWe with a circulating water temperature of 75°F, and a net electrical output of approximately 934 MWe with a circulating water temperature of 88°F. Although the license application is for 2775 MWt (core power), all safety systems, including the containment and engineered safety features, were designed for operation at the expected ultimate power level.

Fuel was loaded in Unit 1 in December 1977, with commercial operation commencing in June 1978. Fuel was loaded in Unit 2 in April 1980, with commercial operation commencing in December 1980. In 1986, both units were uprated to a core power output of 2893 MWt (NSSS Rating of 2905 MWt) with an expected gross electrical output of 982 MWe.

The following sections of this FSAR provide additional information on the design, construction, and operation of North Anna Units 1 and 2. These sections were prepared in accordance with guidelines supplied by the AECs Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Report for Nuclear Power Plants issued in February 1972.

Note: As required by the Renewed Operating Licenses for North Anna Units 1 and 2, issued March 20, 2003, various systems, structures, and components discussed within this Updated FSAR are subject to aging management. The programs and activities necessary to manage the aging of these systems, structures, and components are discussed in Chapter 18.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-1 1.2 GENERAL PLANT DESCRIPTION 1.2.1 General Each unit at North Anna incorporates a closed-cycle pressurized-water nuclear steam supply system, a turbine generator, and the necessary auxiliaries. A radioactive waste disposal system, a fuel handling system, and all auxiliaries, structures, and other onsite facilities required for a complete and operable nuclear power station are also provided.

1.2.2 Structures The major structures are the reactor containment; auxiliary building; fuel building; turbine building, which includes the main control room. The site arrangement, the plot plan, and the general arrangement of equipment within these structures are shown on the drawings listed in the following tabulation:

Item Drawing Site plan Figure 1.2-1 and Reference Drawing 1 Plot plan Figure 1.2-2 and Reference Drawing 2 Containment structure and containment Reference Drawings 3 through 9 auxiliary structures Auxiliary building Reference Drawings 10 through 16 Fuel building Reference Drawings 17 and 18 Control area Figure 1.2-3 and Reference Drawing 19 Service building Reference Drawings 20 through 22 Turbine building Reference Drawings 23 through 30 Service water pump house Reference Drawings 31 and 32 Main circulating pump structure Reference Drawings 33 and 34 Service water valve house Reference Drawings 35 and 36 Service water tie-in vault Reference Drawing 37 Station black-out building Reference Drawings 38 and 39 Each reactor containment is a steel-lined, reinforced-concrete cylinder with a hemispherical dome and a flat, reinforced-concrete foundation mat. Each containment is designed to withstand the internal pressure accompanying the design-basis accident, is leaktight, and provides adequate radiation shielding for both normal operation and design-basis accident conditions.

During normal operation, internal pressure is subatmospheric and there is no outleakage of activity from the containment structure. Following the postulated loss-of-coolant accident

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-2 (LOCA) described in Section 15.4, the containment peak pressure will be reduced to subatmospheric by the use of redundant spray cooling systems, thereby positively terminating outleakage to the environment.

The general seismic criteria used in the design of the structures and equipment in the station are described in Section 3.7. The operating-basis earthquake results in horizontal ground acceleration of 0.06g for structures on rock and 0.09g for structures on soil. The design-basis earthquake results in horizontal ground accelerations of 0.12g for structures on rock and 0.18g for structures on soil. Damping at these accelerations is generally assumed at 2% and 5%

respectively, for major concrete structures. Vertical acceleration is assumed at two-thirds of the horizontal acceleration and is considered to act simultaneously with the horizontal acceleration.

1.2.3 Nuclear Steam Supply System The nuclear steam supply system consists of a Westinghouse pressurized-water reactor and supporting auxiliary systems.

The steam flow of the nuclear steam supply system based on 0% makeup is as follows:

Thermal output of nuclear steam supply system 2905 MWt Thermal output of reactor core 2893 MWt Steam flow from nuclear steam supply system 12.77 x 106 lbm/hr Steam pressure at a steam generator outlet 850 psia Maximum moisture content 0.25%

Assumed feedwater temperature at steam generator inlet 440°F The nuclear steam supply system consists of a reactor and closed reactor coolant loops connected in parallel to the reactor vessel, each loop containing a reactor coolant pump and a steam generator. The nuclear steam supply system also contains an electrically heated pressurizer and certain auxiliary systems.

High-pressure water circulates through the reactor core to remove the heat generated by the fission process. The heated water exits from the reactor vessel and passes via the coolant loop piping to the steam generators. Here it gives up its heat to the feedwater to generate steam for the turbine generator. The cycle is completed when the water is pumped back to the reactor vessel.

The entire reactor coolant system is composed of leaktight and controlled-leakage components to ensure that the reactor coolant is confined to the system or its auxiliaries.

The core is of the multiregion type. Fuel assemblies within a typical batch are mechanically identical, although the fuel enrichment is typically not the same in all the assemblies. Small

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-3 differences may also exist between different batches of fuel, as new design features are incorporated into reload fuel assemblies.

In the initial core loading, three fuel enrichments were used. Fuel assemblies with the highest enrichments were placed in the core periphery, or outer region, and the two groups of lower-enrichment fuel assemblies were arranged in a selected pattern in the central region. In subsequent refuelings, approximately one-third of the fuel is discharged and fresh fuel is loaded into the core. The remaining fuel is arranged in the core in such a manner as to achieve optimum power distribution. Details on fuel loading for the first and subsequent cycles appear in Section 4.3.2.1.

Rod cluster control assemblies consisting of cylindrical absorber rods are used for reactor control. The absorber rods move within guide tubes in certain fuel assemblies. The absorber rods are attached to a spider connector to form a rod cluster control assembly (RCCA). The spider of the RCCA is attached to a drive shaft, which is raised and lowered by a drive mechanism mounted on the reactor vessel head. The downward trip of the rod cluster control assemblies is by gravity.

The reactor coolant pumps are Westinghouse vertical, single-stage, centrifugal pumps of the shaft-seal type. The power supply systems for the pumps are designed so that coolant flow adequate to cool the reactor core under all required conditions is maintained.

The steam generators are Westinghouse vertical U-tube units that contain Inconel tubes.

Integral moisture separators reduce the moisture content of the steam to 0.25% or less.

The reactor coolant piping and all of the pressure-containing and heat transfer surfaces in contact with reactor coolant are stainless steel or stainless steel clad, or are made of an equivalent corrosion-resistant material. The steam generator tubes and fuel tubes are Inconel and Zircaloy, respectively. The reactor core internals, including the control-rod drive shafts, are primarily stainless steel.

An electrically heated pressurizer connected to one reactor coolant loop maintains reactor coolant system pressure during normal operation, limits pressure variations during load transients, and keeps the system pressure within design limits during abnormal conditions.

Auxiliary system components are provided to charge the reactor coolant system and add makeup water, purify reactor coolant water, provide chemicals for corrosion inhibition and reactivity control, cool system components, remove decay heat when the reactor is shut down, and provide for emergency safety injection.

1.2.4 Control and Instrumentation The reactor is controlled by rod cluster control motion, which is required for load-follow transients and for start-up and shutdown; and by a soluble neutron absorber, boron in the form of boric acid, which is inserted during cold shutdown, partially removed at start-up, and adjusted in

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-4 concentration during core lifetime to compensate for such effects as fuel consumption and the accumulation of fission products that tend to slow the nuclear chain reaction.

The control system allows the plant to accept step-load increases of 10% and ramp-load increases of 5% per minute over the load range of 15% to 100% of full power. Equal step- and ramp-load reductions are possible over the range of 100% to 15% of full power.

The supervision of both the nuclear and turbine-generator plants is accomplished from the main control room.

1.2.5 Waste Disposal Systems The waste disposal systems provide all equipment necessary to collect, process, and prepare for disposal all radioactive liquid, gaseous, and solid wastes produced as a result of station operation. The waste disposal systems are capable of handling the wastes produced by both units.

Liquid wastes are collected and processed through the Ion Exchange Filtration System (IEFS) and/or the demineralizers in the waste disposal building. Continuous radiation monitoring is provided for treated liquid waste before its release to the circulating water discharge tunnel.

Liquid waste is analyzed and monitored to ensure that discharge concentrations are maintained as low as practicable and well within the limits of applicable regulations.

Spent resins are placed into approved containers, dewatered, and shipped from the site for ultimate disposal at an authorized location.

Gaseous wastes are diluted, filtered, and discharged to the environment with a yearly average activity level as low as practicable.

1.2.6 Fuel Handling System The reactor is refueled with equipment that handles spent fuel under water from the time it leaves the reactor vessel until it is placed in a cask for shipment from the site. The underwater transfer of spent fuel provides an economic and transparent radiation shield, as well as a reliable coolant for the removal of decay heat.

The fuel handling system is divided into two pool regions: the refueling cavity, which is flooded for refueling; and the spent-fuel pit, which is external to the reactor containment and is always accessible to plant personnel. The two pools are connected by the fuel transfer system, which transports the fuel from the refueling cavity to the transfer canal.

Spent fuel is removed from the reactor vessel by a manipulator crane and placed in the fuel transfer system. In the spent-fuel pit, the fuel is removed from the transfer system and placed into storage racks. After a suitable decay period, spent fuel can be moved from storage in the spent fuel pool and loaded into casks for storage at the North Anna Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), or loaded into casks for shipment off the site.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-5 1.2.7 Turbines and Auxiliaries Each turbine is a tandem-compound, 3-element, 1800-rpm unit having 44-inch last-stage exhaust blading in the low-pressure elements. Four combination single-stage moisture separators-reheaters are employed to dry and superheat the steam between the high- and low-pressure turbine cylinders for each unit. A single-pass, deaerating, surface condenser installed in two sections, two 100%-capacity steam jet air ejectors, three 50%-capacity condensate pumps, three 50% steam generator feedwater pumps, two motor-driven and one turbine-driven auxiliary steam generator feedwater pumps, and six stages of feedwater heating are provided.

1.2.8 Electrical Systems The main generator for each unit is an 1800-rpm, 22-kV, 3-phase, 60-Hz, hydrogen inner-cooled unit. Each main step-up transformer delivers power to the high-voltage switchyard.

The station service system for each unit consists of auxiliary transformers, 4160V and 480V switchgear and buses, 480V motor control centers, 120V ac vital buses, and 125V dc batteries and equipment. Non-safety-related buses are powered from the main generator via three station service transformers, while the emergency buses are powered from the switchyard via three reserve station service transformers.

Emergency power is supplied from two separate and similar emergency diesel-driven generators per unit. Each diesel-driven generator is capable of supplying necessary power for the postaccident containment depressurization subsystems, as well as charging pumps and low-head safety injection pumps, to ensure the operation of minimum safeguards for the design-basis accident.

1.2.9 Engineered Safety Features The engineered safety features provided for each unit have sufficient redundancy and independence of components and power sources that, under the conditions of the assumed design-basis accident, the systems can, even when operating with partial effectiveness, maintain the integrity of the containment and reduce the exposure of the public well below the criteria in 10 CFR 50.67.

Each unit is independent in terms of its engineered safety features. The systems to be provided for each unit are summarized below:

1. The steel-lined concrete containment structure provides a reliable barrier against the uncontrolled escape of fission products due to accidents, and permits subatmospheric operation by limiting air inleakage. The structure and all penetrations, including access openings and ventilation ducts, are of proven design.
2. The safety injection system injects borated water into the reactor coolant loops to cool the core by the operation of on-line accumulators, and by high- or low-head pumps subsequent to LOCAs.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-6

3. The containment quench and recirculation spray systems can provide a spray of cool, basic, borated water to the containment atmosphere.

Following the assumed design-basis accident, the containment pressure would be reduced rapidly to subatmospheric pressure by these systems, thereby positively terminating leakage to the atmosphere. The subsequent long-term maintenance of subatmospheric conditions would be accomplished by the recirculation spray and containment atmosphere cleanup system.

1.2.10 Auxiliary Systems Auxiliary systems are provided as described below:

1. The component cooling system, an intermediate cooling system common to both units, transfers heat from heat exchangers containing reactor coolant or other radioactive or potentially radioactive liquids and gases to the service water system. The maximum heat load occurs during the initial stages of residual heat removal during reactor cooldown. The component cooling system and the residual heat removal system are designed to reduce the temperature of the reactor coolant to approximately 140°F within 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br /> after a reactor shutdown.
2. The service water system removes heat from the component cooling system during the normal operation or cooldown of two reactor units and from the recirculation spray subsystem during a LOCA. This heat is transferred to the environment via the service water reservoir or the Waste Heat Treatment Facility. The service water system also provides cooling to the miscellaneous components requiring an assured supply of cooling water during a loss-of-coolant or loss-of-station-power accident.
3. The boron recovery system is a common system serving both units. This system degasifies and stores borated radioactive water from the reactor coolant system letdown by the chemical and volume control system. The system processes this letdown by evaporation, filtration, and demineralization to produce primary-grade water and concentrated boric acid solution for plant reuse or disposal. Stripped gases are sent to the gaseous waste disposal system.
4. The sampling system transmits representative liquid and gaseous samples to the sampling sinks for laboratory analysis.
5. The vent and drain system collects potentially radioactive fluids and gases from various systems and sends these fluids and gases to the boron recovery system or the appropriate waste disposal system.
6. The fuel pit cooling and refueling purification system removes the residual heat from spent fuel stored in the spent-fuel pit and purifies the water in the reactor cavity and spent-fuel pit.
7. Ventilation systems are provided for the containment and other structures. The containment ventilation system recirculates and cools the containment atmosphere. A purge system, which includes charcoal filters, is provided for use during periods of shutdown. The

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-7 ventilation and air conditioning system serving the main control room is designed to provide uninterrupted service during all conditions, including accident conditions. The ventilation air areas of possible radioactive contamination are discharged through a monitored ventilation vent and can be routed through filters.

8. The fire protection system furnishes water and other extinguishing agents with the capability of extinguishing any single or probable combination of simultaneous fires that might occur at the station. The system consists of a water system, low- and high-pressure carbon dioxide systems, a Halon 1301 system, and a foam system.
9. The circulating water system provides water for cooling the main condensers and can provide water to the bearing cooling water system. The water is pumped from the North Anna Reservoir created by damming the North Anna River. The water discharges to the Waste Heat Treatment Facility.
10. The compressed air system supplies station service and instrument air. Dryers are provided for the instrument air compressors. Separate, redundant supplies of instrument air are provided in each of the containment structures.

Other auxiliary systems include the domestic water system, communications system, primary plant gas supply system, and auxiliary steam system.

1.2.11 Common and Separate Facilities Separate and similar systems and equipment are provided for each unit except as noted below. Only those components that are shared by the two units are included in this list.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.2-10 1.2.12 Special Designs There are no significant extrapolations in the technology or solutions to particularly difficult engineering problems involved in the design and construction of the station.

The reservoir formed by damming the North Anna River may be considered an unusual site characteristic. This reservoir serves as the cooling water supply for the station. A portion of the lake, called the Waste Heat Treatment Facility, dissipates waste solution heat from the circulating water discharge before the return of this water to the main body of the lake, the North Anna Reservoir. The North Anna Reservoir and the Service Water Reservoir form the ultimate heat sink for the station.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.3-1 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.3 COMPARISON TABLES 1.3.1 Comparisons with Similar Facility Designs The comparison tables which follow reflect the designs at the time of the original FSAR submittal, unless otherwise noted.

1.3.1.1 Comparison of Nuclear Steam Supply Systems Table 1.3-1 presents a comparison of the design of the nuclear steam supply system for the North Anna Power Station with those for the Surry Power Station and the Beaver Valley Nuclear Station Unit 1.

1.3.1.2 Comparison of Engineered Safety Features Table 1.3-2 presents a summary of the design and operational data on the engineered safety features for North Anna Units 1 and 2 together with comparable data derived from the FSARs for Surry Units 1 and 2 and Beaver Valley Unit 1. The Surry Units 1 and 2 (Docket Nos. 50-280 and 50-281) and Beaver Valley Unit 1 (Docket Nos. 50-334) FSARs were selected because these units are closely related technically to the North Anna units and serve as examples of Stone & Webster facilities that received operating licenses before the North Anna units.

The North Anna Power Station units are also generally comparable with the PWRs of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company and the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, and with the Sequoyah units.

1.3.1.3 Comparison of Containment Concepts Table 1.3-3 is a summary of the design and operational data on the subatmospheric containment for North Anna Units 1 and 2, together with comparable data derived from the FSARs for Surry Units 1 and 2 and Beaver Valley Unit 1. These references were selected because all of these units use the Stone & Webster subatmospheric containment design. Surry Units 1 and 2 received operating licenses before the North Anna units.

1.3.1.4 Comparison of Instrumentation and Electrical Systems 1.3.1.4.1 Comparison of Instrumentation and Control Systems Table 1.3-4 provides a comparison of containment pressure data.

Table 1.3-5 provides a comparison of data on reactor coolant pump protection.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.3-3 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

The Surry and Beaver Valley units were chosen for comparison because they are closely related technically to the North Anna units and had received operating licenses before the North Anna units.

1.3.2 Comparison of Final and Preliminary Designs The significant changes that were made in station design between the submittal of the PSAR and the submittal of the original FSAR are listed below:

1. Technological advances permitted increasing the ultimate core rating to 2900 MWt with a minimum of changes in plant design. With this increase in ultimate core rating, the guaranteed core rating was increased to 2775 MWt. In 1986, both units were uprated to a core power of 2893 MWt. This power corresponds to the maximum calculated turbine rating, defined in Section 15.1.
2. All systems and components were designed and evaluated at the increased design power level of 2900 MWt. To accommodate the increase in design power level to 2900 MWt, the following changes were made to components and systems:
a. The containment (Section 3.8.2) was increased in height by 5 feet to ensure that the peak pressure reached during a postulated LOCA at the increased design power level would be within acceptable limits.
b. The refueling water storage tank (Section 6.2.2) was increased in size from the usable volume of 350,000 gallons to 450,000 gallons to provide the additional heat removal capacity required by the increase in energy release during a postulated LOCA.
c. Various components in the steam and power conversion system (Chapter 10) were increased in capacity to accommodate the increased design steam flow.
d. The reactor coolant pump (Section 5.5) motor horsepower was increased from 6000 to 7000 to accommodate the design reactor coolant flow, which was increased from 100.7 x 106 to 105.1 x 106 lb/hr commensurate with the increase in power level.
e. The centrifugal charging pump motor horsepower was changed from 600 to 900 in order to provide a greater flow during the injection flow operation of the emergency core cooling system.
3. The quality assurance program during design and construction was modified to conform to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B (Chapter 17).

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.3-4 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

4. The service water reservoir (Section 3.8.4) was increased in size to provide a 30-day supply of water to conform to Regulatory Guide 1.27.
5. A containment atmosphere cleanup system (Section 6.2.5) was added to conform to Regulatory Guide 1.7.
6. The design of nuclear piping systems was changed to generally meet the requirements of ANSI B31.7, the Code for Nuclear Power Piping (see Section 3.2.2), to ensure that the quality of these piping systems is in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a (PSAR Section 3.2 and Chapters 5, 6, 9, and 11).
7. A vent condenser was added to the low-capacity steam generator blowdown system tank to further reduce the potential release of radioactive effluents to the atmosphere.
8. The emergency core cooling system was revised to meet the AECs interim criteria. The injection paths were altered to provide cold-leg injection with cold- or hot-leg recirculation. This change was made in order to counteract potential steam binding above the core and the subsequent bypass of safety injection flow around the upper plenum and out through a broken hot leg (see Section 6.3).
9. The online testing capability for final actuator devices was added to conform to Regulatory Guide 1.22 (PSAR Chapter 7).
10. The normal source of water for the service water system (Section 9.2.1) was changed from the North Anna Reservoir (Lake Anna) to the service water reservoir so that no transfer from one source of cooling water to the other is required to meet the single-failure criterion.
11. Reactor protection systems and engineered safety features actuation circuits were changed from a relay to a solid-state logic system. This change was made to provide a simpler and faster method of performing online testing; to reduce the amount of fuel wiring required; to provide a more compact system that requires less space and is easier to maintain; to achieve a standardized and more flexible system; and to provide a system requiring less power to operate and less (electrical) heat removal (see Sections 7.2 and 7.3).
12. A safety injection permissive block was replaced with a reactor trip permissive block in the safety injection reset logic. This change was made in order to prevent a safety injection signal, if one occurred several hours after an accident, from realigning the emergency core cooling system from recirculation to injection (Section 7.3).

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.3-5 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

13. The B4C control rods were changed to Ag-In-Cd control rods. This change was made to minimize tritium releases from the control rods to the primary coolant (see Section 4.2.3).
14. Pellet density and fuel-rod pressure were changed to reflect the evolution of the design as core performance and safety requirements were met. The initial backfill pressure of the helium in the fuel was increased to offset densification effects. The pellet densities were changed from a variation by fuel-rod region to a constant density for all regions. This change was made because operating experience has shown that fuel pellet swelling is not a strong function of burnup, as previously believed, so that a uniform core pellet density can be employed (see Section 4.3).
15. The burnable poison loading pattern was changed to reflect more detailed design calculations (see Section 4.3).
16. The reactor vessel top and bottom head penetration and the control-rod drive mechanism were redesigned to meet the requirements of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (see PSAR Section 5.4).
17. Removable insulation on the closure and lower reactor vessel heads was added to provide access to those areas for inspection purposes (see Section 5.4).
18. The rod withdrawal stop from the rod drop signal and the automatic turbine load cutback initiated by rod drop were replaced by the power range neutron flux rate trips. The positive neutron flux rate trip ensures that the criteria appropriate for an ANS Condition IV event are met even for rod ejections from partial power. The negative neutron flux rate trip will ensure that the DNBR remains above 1.30 for all multiple rod drop accidents (see Section 7.2).
19. The recirculation spray casing cooling subsystem was added to increase the available net positive suction head for the outside recirculation spray pumps. The available net positive suction head for the inside recirculation spray pumps was increased by diverting water from the quench spray system header to the inside recirculation spray pump suction (see Section 6.2).

1.4.3 Westinghouse Qualifications and Experience as a Supplier of Nuclear Steam Supply Systems The experience of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in nuclear plants for the electrical utility industry is demonstrated by the PWR plants that it has designed, developed, and manufactured. Table 1.4-1 lists all Westinghouse PWR plants, including plants under construction or on order at the time of the original FSAR submitted for the North Anna units.

Westinghouse has long held a position of leadership in the electrical products manufacturing industry. This leadership is based on a tradition of standard and new product reliability and quality. Nowhere is this leadership displayed more vividly than in nuclear power.

Through early participation in basic research and engineering developments, Westinghouse has established a broad technological foundation in nuclear power applications. It has also established a continuing program of sound technological development that enables the corporation to offer to the electrical utility industry a reliable and safe source of power from the atom.

The experience of Westinghouse in nuclear activity is evident in numerous atomic power projectscompleted, soon to go into operation, or being developed. The following paragraphs describe Westinghouse-designed PWR plants that were in operation at the time of the original FSAR submittal for the North Anna units.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.4-3 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.4.3.1 Plants in Operation Westinghouse PWR nuclear power plants in operation are as follows:

1. Shippingport Shippingport was the worlds first large central station nuclear power plant. The reactor plant was designed by the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory, which is operated by Westinghouse under AEC contract. Shippingports pressurized water reactor has produced steam for the Duquesne Light Companys turbine-generator plant since December 1957.
2. Yankee-Rowe Singled out by the AEC as a nuclear success story, Yankee went online in November 1960. Owned and operated by the Yankee Atomic Electric Company, Yankee has progressed from an initial rating of 120 MWe to its present 176 MWe. Westinghouse supplied the nuclear steam supply system and the turbine generator.
3. Enrico Fermi The Enrico Fermi nuclear plant was one of the first Westinghouse-designed plants to incorporate the chemical shim control of reactivity. Chemical shim has since become a standard feature of Westinghouse PWR control. Enrico Fermi achieved initial criticality in June 1964 and began power operation in October 1964. The plant is rated at 256 MWe.
4. Ardennes The Ardennes plant is unique in that the Westinghouse pressurized water reactor and its auxiliaries are housed in man-made caverns. Ardennes, a Franco-Belgian undertaking owned and operated by the Societe dEnergie Nucleaire Franco-Belge des Ardennes (SENA), is located in France near the France-Belgium border. Ardennes achieved initial criticality in October 1966 and began power operation in 1967.
5. San Onofre San Onofre employs the Westinghouse-developed rod cluster control that has become a standard feature of the Westinghouse pressurized water reactor. Owned by the Southern California Edison Company and the San Diego Gas and Electric Company, the 430-MWe plant is located near San Clemente. Westinghouse supplied the nuclear steam supply system and the turbine generator. Initial criticality was achieved in June 1967, and power operation began in January 1968.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.4-4 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

6. Connecticut Yankee Owned and operated by the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company, this plant went critical in mid-1967 and attained full power operation in December 1967. Like San Onofre, the plant employs rod cluster control in conjunction with chemical shim control.

Westinghouse supplied the nuclear steam supply system and the turbine generator. In March 1969, Connecticut Yankee received AEC approval to uprate the plant from its initial rating of 462 MWe to 567 MWe.

7. Jose Cabrera The Jose Cabrera station is located near Zorita, Spain. The 153-MWe plant employs rod cluster control, chemical shim control, and a Zircaloy-clad core. Construction began in mid-1965, and power operation began in 1968. Jose Cabrera is owned and operated by Union Electrica Madrilena, a Spanish utility.
8. Beznau 1 Beznau 1, Switzerlands first commercial nuclear power plant, achieved initial criticality on June 30, 1969, and supplied power to the system on July 17, 1969. The 350-MWe plant was designed and constructed by the Westinghouse-Brown Boveri Consortium for the owner/operator utility, Nordostschweizerische Kraftwerke A.G. The plant started producing power less than 4 years after the award of the plant contract.
9. Robert Emmett Ginna The Robert Emmett Ginna Plant, owned and operated by Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation, is located on the south shore of Lake Ontario. Westinghouse supplied the 420-MWe plant on a turnkey basis. Construction began in April 1966, and initial criticality was achieved on November 9, 1969just 42 months after the start of construction. Power was supplied to the system on December 2, 1969.
10. Mihama 1 Mihama 1, a 2-loop, 320-MWe unit, is owned and operated by the Kansai Electric Power Company. Mihama 1 marks the beginning of a line of Westinghouse pressurized water reactors supplying the generation needs of the Far East. Westinghouse International Company was the prime contractor for Unit 1, supplying the nuclear steam supply system engineering, nuclear fuel, and some major system components. The plant required only 44 months from the start of site construction to first power production in August 1970.

11. H. B. Robinson 2 This plant is a 3-loop, 700-MWe unit that was built on a turnkey basis for the Carolina Power & Light Company. The plant is located at a site near Hartsville, South Carolina, on a man-made cooling lake. The construction permit was granted in April 1967. The plant achieved criticality and first power to system in October 1970.
12. Point Beach 1 Point Beach 1 is a 454-MWe Westinghouse PWR unit built on a turnkey basis for the Wisconsin Michigan Power Company and the Wisconsin Electric Power Company. The plant is located near Two Creeks, Wisconsin, 90 miles north of Milwaukee on Lake Michigan. This is the first of two units at the station that will share many facilities and auxiliary systems. The construction permit for Unit 1 was granted in July 1967, and initial criticality and first power to system were achieved in November 1970.
13. Surry 1 This plant is a 3-loop, 823-MWe PWR unit built for Vepco. The plant is located in Surry County, Virginia, on a point of land called Gravel Neck, which juts into the James River.

This is the first unit of a twin-unit station. Westinghouse supplied the nuclear steam supply system and the turbine generator. The construction permit for Unit 1 was granted on June 26, 1968, and the unit achieved initial criticality on July 1, 1972.

1.4.3.2 Westinghouse Facilities Westinghouse, in its effort to plan for the future, has developed a broad range of facilities to satisfy the needs of the nuclear industry. The facilities are as follows:

1. Columbia Plant, Nuclear Fuel Division The Columbia Plant is capable of performing all the operations necessary to manufacture finished nuclear fuel assemblies. These operations include the conversion of uranium hexafluoride to uranium dioxide powder, the fabrication of fuel assembly grids, complete pellet loading, and the final fabrication of assemblies. The plant, located at Columbia, South Carolina, began full production in early 1970. The Columbia plant is the largest commercial nuclear fuel fabrication facility in the world.

3. Pensacola Division The Pensacola Division plant, located on Escambia Bay on the northwest coast of Florida, is a 140,000-ft2 manufacturing plant committed to the production of precision reactor vessel internals. Contributing to the precision manufacturing capability is an environmental control system that minimizes annual temperature variations throughout the shop area. Transportation facilities for the plant include a railroad spur that permits loading and unloading inside the shop, as well as access to barge-loading facilities on Escambia Bay. Pensacola shipped its first package of reactor internals in July 1970.
4. Cheswick Plant, Electro-Mechanical Division The Electro-Mechanical Division was established in 1953 in Cheswick, Pennsylvania, to manufacture canned motor primary coolant pumps for nuclear reactors. The product line was expanded to include shaft seal pumps (reactor coolant pumps), valves, and control-rod drive mechanismsessential components of the Westinghouse pressurized water reactor.

The facility occupies 404,000 ft2 and contains the most modern facilities available for the production and testing of nuclear plant components.

5. Speciality Metals Division The Specialty Metals facility is located in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. Several essential parts of PWR components are manufactured at Blairsville, including the Inconel tubing for steam generators and the Zircaloy seamless tubing for nuclear fuel cladding.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-1 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.5 REQUIREMENTS FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL INFORMATION Reference 1 presents descriptions of the safety-related research and development programs that were being carried out for, by, or in conjunction with Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems, and were applicable to Westinghouse pressurized water reactors at the time of the original FSAR submittal for the North Anna units.

For each safety-related program then in progress, the program is first introduced, followed, where appropriate, by background information. This is followed by a description of the program that gives the program objectives and presents pertinent recent results. Finally, a backup position may be given for those generally experimental rather than analytical programs that had not yet reached a stage where it was reasonably certain that the results confirm the expectation. The backup position is one that might be used if the results are unfavorable; it is not necessarily the only course that might be taken.

The term research and development, as used in this report, is the same as that used by the NRC in Section 50.2 of its regulations:

(n) research and development means (1) theoretical analysis, exploration or experimentation; or (2) the extension of investigative findings and theories of a scientific nature into practical application for experimental and demonstration purposes including the experimental production and testing of models, devices, equipment, materials and processes.

The technical information generated by these research and development programs will demonstrate the safety of the design and more sharply define the margins of conservatism, and it may lead to design improvements.

Included in the overall research and development effort are the programs described below.

These programs are applicable to the 17 x 17 fuel assembly.

1.5.1 Verification Test (17 x 17)

The design of the reactor uses a 17 x 17 array of fuel rods and thimbles in a fuel assembly.

This array is conceptually similar to but geometrically different from the 15 x 15 array used in previous designs. The 17 x 17 design is considered to be a relatively small extrapolation of the 15 x 15 design. Comprehensive testing has been planned, however, to verify that the extrapolation is sufficiently conservative. A preliminary evaluation of the data obtained at the time of the original FSAR submittal for the North Anna units did not reveal any anomalies.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-2 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Design changes, if necessary, will be made to the reference 17 x 17 hardware in the unlikely event that any of the experimental results fall outside the conservative design values used in analysis.

Westinghouse maintains that no plant need be designated a prototype and instrumented to verify the 17 x 17 fuel design. The change in the flow-induced vibration response of the internals attributable to the change from a 15 x 15 to a 17 x 17 fuel design is minimal for the following reasons:

1. The only internals that change as a result of the design change from the 15 x 15 to the 17 x 17 fuel assembly are the guide tube and the control-rod drive line.
2. The guide tube is rigidly attached at the upper core support plate only. The upper core plate serves only to align the guide tubes. Because of this type of support arrangement, the guide tube makes a minimal contribution to the vibration response of the core barrel and other internals.
3. The effective flow area of the guide tube for the 17 x 17 fuel assembly is essentially the same as that for the 15 x 15 array and therefore there are no significant differences in the flow distribution in the upper plenum.
4. The differences in mass and spring rate between the 15 x 15 and 17 x 17 fuel assemblies are very small (approximately 3%). This ensures that the effects of the fuel on the vibration response of the reactor internals will remain essentially unchanged. The preoperational hot functional flow testing presented in Chapter 14 is considered the most conservative test condition, since higher flow rates exist.

More adequate and meaningful tests to verify the change from the 15 x 15 to the 17 x 17 array would be to test the new guide tube and fuel assembly designs individually in a special test facility, such as the loop test facilities at the Westinghouse Forest Hills site. This type of program was in fact conducted and is discussed below.

Some of the verification work described herein was conducted using 17 x 17 assemblies of a 7-grid design, whereas the selected 17 x 17 assembly design has 8 grids. Tabulated below are those 17 x 17 tests that used a 7-grid geometry and the effect of adding an eighth grid.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-3 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Test Parameter Effect Fuel assembly structural test Axial stiffness Negligible effect from at blowdown impact forces (Reference 2)

Lateral impact Additional grid shares impact load (Reference 2)

Prototype assembly test Pressure drop Margin between 7-grid design delta P and D-loop results (Reference 3) adequate to cover the additional delta P resulting from the additional grid (less than 5% increase in delta P)

Lift force Margin between 7-grid design lift force and D-loop results (Reference 3) adequate to cover the additional lift force resulting from the additional grid Rod vibration Decreased span length results in improved vibratory amplitude and reduced rod wear Departure from nucleate DNB correlation Addition of a grid increases boiling (DNB) mixing, which increases DNB margin Incore flow mixing TDC TDC increases as grid spacing decreases (Reference 4)

The above tabulation shows (1) that additional design changes are not required (e.g., no new fuel assembly hold-down spring is needed) as a result of the addition of a grid, and (2) that 7-grid test information can be used to assess the adequacy of the 8-grid design. Additional testing to specifically investigate the 8-grid assembly is not required.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-4 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.5.1.1 Rod Cluster Control Spider Tests Test Purpose and Parameters The 17 x 17 RCC spider is conceptually similar to but geometrically different from the 15 x 15 spider. The 17 x 17 spider supports 24 rodlets (the 15 x 15 design supports 20) with no vane supporting more than two rodlets (same as the 15 x 15 design). The RCC spider tests verified the structural adequacy of the design.

The spider vane-to-hub joint was tested for structural adequacy by (1) a vertical static-load test to failure and (2) a vertical fatigue test to approximately 3 million steps. The static-load test was performed by applying tensile and compressive loads to the spider. The load was applied parallel to the spider hub and reacted between the spider hub and fingers. The spider fingers shared the load equally. The number of cycles for the fatigue test was determined from the expected number of steps a control-rod drive mechanism would experience during 20 years in a load-follow reactor (1.5 x 106 steps). The test met the recommended cyclic test requirements of the ASME Code,Section III, Appendix II, Paragraph 1520.

The spring pack within the spider hub was tested to determine the spring load deflection characteristic as a function of the loading cycles seen by the spring. The test was terminated after 1000 cycles compared to a 400-cycle (rod drop) design value. The test loads were equal to or greater than that predicted to result in a yielding of the spring material. These loads were in excess of the design values. The test acceptance criterion was for the spring to retain adequate preload after the repeated cycling.

Facility The 17 x 17 spider tests were performed at the Westinghouse Engineering Mechanics Laboratory (see Section 1.5.3.2.15).

Status The spider tests have been completed. A vertical static-load test approximately seven times the design dynamic load did not result in spider vane-to-hub joint failure. A spider was tested to 2.8 x 10 6 steps without failure. The spider loading was 110% of the design value for 1.8 x 106 cycles and 220% of the design loading for 1 x 106 cycles. The design load is 3600 lb compression and 1800 lb tension. The spring test resulted in negligible preload loss.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-5 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.5.1.2 Grid Tests Test Purpose and Parameters The 17 x 17 grid is conceptually similar but geometrically different from the 15 x 15 grid.

The purpose of the grid tests was to verify the structural adequacy of the grid design.

Load deflection tests have been made on the grid spring and dimple. The grid spring radial (normal) stiffness and grid dimple radial and tangential stiffnesses were obtained. This information was used to verify that the fuel-rod clad wear evaluation has been based on conservative values of these parameters. The fuel-rod evaluation is conservative, as shown by the flow test results presented in Reference 3.

The grid-buckling strength has been determined from tests. The grid test specimens had short sections of fuel tubing inserted in the cell in place of fuel rods. These tests were used to verify that grid buckling during a postulated seismic occurrence does not interfere with control-rod insertion.

The grid-buckling strength is defined as the maximum load that can be applied without failure. In the case of static tests, the applied load, which is deflection controlled, results in an elastic buckling failure, since no permanent deformation is experienced on removing the load.

The static test established the lower limit for grid failure.

The grid dynamic buckling strength is similarly defined as the maximum load resulting from an impact that can be applied without failure; however, some localized permanent deformation occurs before the maximum load is attained.

The grids were tested under both static and dynamic loads. The loads were applied uniformly to the face of the outside strap, transmitted directly through the grid, and reacted at the grid face opposite the input. A description of the grid impact test is given in Reference 2. A description of the analytical use of the test parameters is also given in Reference 2.

Facility The grid tests were conducted in the Westinghouse Forest Hills Engineering Mechanics Laboratory (see Section 1.5.3.2.15).

Status The grid tests have been completed. Test results are in agreement with pretest design values. The test results, along with fuel assembly structural test results, were factored into the seismic analysis (Reference 2).

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-6 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.5.1.3 Fuel Assembly Structural Tests Test Purpose and Parameters The 17 x 17 fuel assembly tests were performed to determine mechanical strength and properties. The fuel assembly parameters obtained were as follows: lateral and axial stiffnesses, impact and internal structural damping coefficients, vibration characteristics, and lateral and axial impact responses to postulated accident loads. The parameters obtained from the lateral dynamic tests are used for seismic analysis, while those obtained from the axial tests are incorporated in the LOCA (blowdown) accident analysis. The remaining tests are primarily to demonstrate that the assembly has sufficient mechanical strength to avoid damage during shipment, normal handling, and normal operation.

The fuel assembly is subjected to both lateral and axial loads to obtain the respective static axial and lateral stiffnesses. The information obtained from these tests is used to establish parameters primarily for accident analysis, since these conditions appear limiting. The axially applied loads, which were well in excess of shipment, normal handling, and normal operational design loads, did not result in permanent deformation or damage to fuel assemblies.

Lateral tests were accomplished with both nozzles fixed in place and forces applied to various grids. The lateral stiffness was found by incrementally increasing and decreasing the static load.

The fuel assembly was tested in a vertical position using core pins to simulate reactor support conditions. An electrodynamic shaker was attached to the center (fourth) grid to provide excitation. The fuel assembly mode shapes and corresponding natural frequencies were obtained from displacement transducers. A comparison of analytical and experimental results is given in Reference 2. Experimental vibration studies of individual fuel rods were also performed. The rods were tested under simulated fuel assembly support conditions and as assembled in a prototype fuel assembly. The information obtained from these tests included the fundamental frequencies and mode shapes. A general test description and a summary of the results are presented in Reference 3.

The fuel assembly axial stiffness was found by incrementally increasing the static load (compressive) and then incrementally decreasing the static load.

Lateral impact tests were performed by displacing the center of the assembly with the nozzles fixed in place. The assembly was released and allowed to impact on lateral restraints at each of the five center grid locations.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-7 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

The axial impact response and damping were found by dropping the fuel assembly from various heights. The axial impact test was performed with the fuel assembly in the upright position.

The relevant parameters measured during the lateral and axial impact tests were as follows:

1. Impact duration versus impact load.
2. Impact force versus drop height or initial displacement.
3. Impact during damping or restitution as a function of impact force.

A general description of the test procedure, including a description of the use of the parameters as related to accident analysis, is presented in Reference 2.

There is a general axial test buckling criterion that does not allow the local buckling of components that could prevent control-rod insertion during an accident. The overall fuel assembly buckling and local component buckling is checked during the axial static and dynamic tests. The lateral displacement associated with the overall (beam-type) fuel assembly buckling is constrained by the reactor internals and therefore does not reduce the ultimate strength of the fuel assembly. Local component buckling was not experienced during either the static or dynamic tests for loads well in excess of the design values. The general acceptance criteria were not violated.

Facility These tests were conducted at the Westinghouse Engineering Mechanics Laboratory (see Section 1.5.3.2.15).

Status The fuel assembly structural tests have been completed. The fuel assembly structural test results are factored into the seismic and blowdown analyses (Reference 2).

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-8 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.5.1.4 Guide Tube Tests Test Purpose and Parameters A new guide tube was designed to accommodate the 24-rodlet pattern adopted for the 17 x 17 cores. This guide tube is sufficiently strong to provide increased margins of safety over present guide tubes. A high degree of interchangeability of parts has been designed into the guide tube. The main features of the design are full-length enclosures and cylindrical upper guide tubes.

The 17 x 17 rodlet pattern reduced the central area available for driveline passage significantly, thus necessitating a generally tighter design of the rod guidance elements.

The following guide tube tests are considered engineering tests:

1. Engineering prototype assembly tests.
2. The guide tube drop and deflection test.

These tests are used as design tools and are not specifically required for the demonstration of plant safety.

The engineering prototype assembly tests are described below.

Engineering Prototype Assembly Tests. The purpose of these tests was to demonstrate that the 17 x 17 fuel assembly and driveline hardware designs perform as predicted. The tests were run before the required plant functional tests and are used as engineering information tests to obtain experimental data. A single set of driveline hardware, including control rods, was used in the tests. The fuel assemblies and driveline were subjected to flow and system conditions covering those mostly likely to occur in a plant during normal operations or during a pump overspeed transient.

These tests were used to verify, from an engineering confidence standpoint, the integrated fuel assembly and rod cluster control performance in several areas. Data obtained included pressures and pressure drops throughout the system, hydraulic loadings on the fuel assembly and driveline, control-rod drop time and stall velocity, fuel-rod vibration, and control-rod, driveline, guide tube, and guide thimble wear during a lifetime of operation. None of this information is considered to be safety related.

Specifically, two full-size 17 x 17 fuel assemblies (one for each phase of testing) and one control rod, drive shaft, and control-rod drive mechanism were installed and tested in the 24-inch-diameter by 40-foot-high D-loop at the Westinghouse Test Engineering Laboratory Facility.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-9 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Fuel Assembly Life Test (Phase I). The first fuel assembly was subjected to the maximum expected control-rod travel during one fuel assembly lifetime. The nominal test conditions were a flow velocity based on the design flow rate, a temperature of 585°F, and a pressure of 2000 psig.

These conditions represent an extreme set of conditions.

Using a fully instrumented 17 x 17 prototype fuel assembly, guide tube, and rod cluster control drive assembly, the test conducted in the D-loop produced information on the following:

1. Mechanical integrity and performance.
2. Drop time.
3. Fuel-rod vibration.
4. Control-rod velocity.
5. Hydraulic lift force.
6. Guide thimble dashpot pressure.

Following this, the prototype fuel assembly underwent a complete post-test evaluation, and the guide tubes and driveline were inspected for any abnormal wear conditions. The purpose of this test was basically to determine the effect of the 17 x 17 fuel assembly and the control-rod configuration on Items 1 through 6 in Phase I and Items 1 and 2 in Phases II and III. The effect on control-rod drop due to a seismic disturbance is evaluated analytically.

The test procedures, conditions, and results for Phase I are described in Reference 3.

Guide Tube and Rod Cluster Control Life Test (Phases II and III). The second fuel assembly was then installed to continue the test at the same flow and temperature until 3 million total steps of the driveline were accumulated. For Phases II and III, the testing was run at temperatures between 250°F and 585°F and at flow rates from 110 to 150% of the design flow rate.

The test included a program of control-rod drops and mechanism stepping that approximated the driveline duty for the design lifetime of an operating plant. Specifically, in Phase II, approximately 1,275,000 mechanism steps and approximately 170 control-rod drops were accumulated. The components were then inspected. Following inspection, the testing was continued until, at the end of Phase III testing, a total of over 3 x 106 mechanism steps and approximately 500 control-rod drops were accumulated.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-10 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

These tests were directed toward:

1. Lifetime wear evaluation.
2. Drop time.
3. Rod stall characteristics.

These were not safety-related tests; they were used as engineering tools. Final verification of the fuel assembly and control rod hardware designs was demonstrated during the rod drop tests performed after the initial loading of the core.

At the completion of the Phase II tests, the test assembly was inspected to determine guide tube and driveline wear characteristics. This inspection was repeated at the end of the test (Phase III).

Facility The above testing was conducted in the Westinghouse Test Engineering Laboratory Facility (see Section 1.5.3).

Status The D-loop testing has been completed. The results of the testing are given in References 3 and 5.

1.5.1.5 Departure from Nucleate Boiling Test Purpose and Parameters The effect of the 17 x 17 fuel assembly geometry on the departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) heat flux has been determined experimentally and has been incorporated into a modified spacer factor for use with the W-3 correlation. The effect of cold-wall thimble cells in the 17 x 17 geometry has also been quantified.

A similar program was conducted to quantify the DNB performance of the R-type mixing vane grid as developed for the 15 x 15 fuel assembly design (References 6 & 7). The results of that program were used to develop a modified spacer factor that quantifies the power capability associated with the use of the R mixing vane grid as well as the change in power capability due to the axial spacing of the grids. The modified spacer factor, along with the W-3 correlation with the cold-wall factor, was shown to be applicable to cold-wall thimble cells in the 15 x 15 geometry (Reference 7).

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-11 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

The experimental program consisted of three test series employing rod bundles that are representative of the 17 x 17 fuel assembly geometry. Two of the tests employed all heated rods, one test section being 8 feet long and the other being 14 feet long. The third test had one simulated cold-wall thimble tube. All three tests employed a uniform axial heat flux. The applicability of DNB data obtained using a uniform heat flux to a nonuniform heat flux has been well established by the use of an axial flux shape factor. Tong (Reference 8) first developed the form of the factor. This same form with some minor change in the empirical constants has been confirmed by Wilson (Reference 9). This method of analysis has proven correct for nonuniform rod bundle data, as shown by Rosal (Reference 10), Motley (Reference 6), and Wilson (Reference 9).

The concern over uniform versus nonuniform axial heat flux in long bundles is addressed in Reference 11, where comparative data on bundles of 0.422-inch-o.d. rods are presented. This provided a suitable basis for 17 x 17 DNB evaluation for all axial heat fluxes.

The final 17 x 17 fuel assembly design incorporated an additional grid and had a grid spacing less than 22 inches. An additional test program was conducted to provide data applicable to the 17 x 17 fuel assembly with 22-inch axial grid spacing (Reference 17). Four geometries were tested to vary axial heat flux shape (uniform vs. chopped cosine), heated length (8 vs.

14 feet), and cell type (typical vs. thimble coldwall), over a wide range of inlet fluid parameters.

The results demonstrated the applicability of the R grid CHF correlation multiplied by a factor of 0.88 in predicting CHF for uniform and non-uniform axial heat flux. The results also verified the use of the F-factor for non-uniform data, the heated length effect incorporated into the modified spacer factor, and the cold wall factor.

Facility These tests were conducted in the high-temperature and high-pressure loop that was constructed by Westinghouse at the Columbia University Heat Transfer Laboratories. The loop characteristics of this facility are as follows:

Flow rate 400 gpm maximum 40 gpm minimum Working pressure 3500 psia maximum Test section inlet temperature 650°F maximum Test section outlet temperature 700°F maximum Test section heated length 16 ft maximum

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-12 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Power input to test section 7.5 MWe maximum The 17 x 17 DNB tests were performed parametrically for various combinations of inlet temperature and flow rate by increasing the bundle power incrementally until a DNB occurs.

Status The original DNB test program is complete and the results are reported in Reference 11.

1.5.1.6 Incore Flow Mixing Test Purpose and Parameters In the thermal-hydraulic design of a reactor core, the effect of mixing or turbulent energy transfer within the hot assembly was evaluated using the THINC code. The rate of turbulent energy transfer is formulated in the THINC analysis in terms of a thermal diffusion coefficient (TDC).

A program (Reference 4) to determine the proper value of the TDC for the R grid vane, as used in the 15 x 15 fuel assembly design, has been completed, and the results show that a design value of 0.038 (for 26-inch spacing) can be used for the TDC. The results also show that the TDC is independent of Reynolds number, mass velocity, pressure, and quality over the ranges tested.

A test program was conducted to determine the effects of the 17 x 17 fuel assembly geometry on mixing and to determine an appropriate value for the TDC (Reference 13). A uniform axial heat flux was used. There was no analytical reason to expect that the mixing coefficient would be affected by a nonuniform axial heat flux. The THINC computer code considers the mixing in each increment along the heated length, and within that increment the heat flux is considered uniform. The tests reported by Cadek (Reference 12) indicate that there is no difference, within the limits of experimental accuracy, between a test section with a uniform flux (Pitt) and one with one-half of a cosine flux (Columbia). The heat flux in the test program for the 17 x 17 fuel assembly geometry was varied between the simulated fuel rods in the test section to create a thermal gradient in the radial direction (Reference 13). Using different flow rates and inlet temperatures, the TDC for the 17 x 17 geometry was determined.

Facility These tests were conducted at the Columbia University Heat Transfer Laboratories.

Status The TDC tests are complete and the results are reported in Reference 13.

1.5.2 LOCA Heat Transfer Tests (17 x 17) 1.5.2.1 Reflood Heat Transfer Tests Extensive experimental programs have been performed with a simulated 17 x 17 assembly to determine its behavior under LOCA conditions. The 17 x 17 tests were conducted in the G-loop facility at the Westinghouse Forest Hills Laboratory.

Results form the 17 x 17 programs were compared with data from the 15 x 15 assembly test programs and were used to confirm predictions made by correlations and codes using the 15 x 15 test results (see Reference 16).

1.5.2.2 Delayed Departure from Nucleate Boiling Testing 1.5.2.2.1 Introduction The NRC acceptance criteria for emergency core cooling systems for light water powered reactors were issued in Section 50.46 of 10 CFR 50 on December 28, 1973. They define the basis and conservative assumptions to be used in the evaluation of the performance of emergency core cooling systems. Westinghouse believes that some of the conservatism of the criteria is associated with the manner in which transient DNB phenomena are treated in the evaluation models.

Transient critical heat flux data presented at the 1972 specialists meeting of the Committee on Reactor Safety Technology indicated that the time to a DNB can be delayed under transient conditions. To demonstrate the conservatism of the models for evaluating emergency core cooling systems, Westinghouse initiated a program to experimentally simulate the blowdown phase of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). This testing was part of the Electric Power Research Institutes Blowdown Heat Transfer Program, which was started early in 1976. The testing was completed confirming model conservatism and Westinghouse did not change the LBLOCA methodology.

1.5.2.2.2 Objective The objective of the delayed departure from nucleate boiling (DDNB) test was to determine the time that a DNB occurs under LOCA conditions. This information would be used to confirm the existing Westinghouse transient DNB correlation or to develop a new one. The steady-state DNB data obtained from 15 x 15 and 17 x 17 test programs can be used to ensure that the geometrical differences between the two fuel arrays can be correctly treated in the transient correlations.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-14 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.5.2.2.3 Program The program was divided into two phases. The Phase I tests started from steady-state conditions; sufficient power was available to maintain nucleate boiling throughout the bundle.

Controlled ramps of decreasing test section pressure or flow initiated a DNB. Through the application of a series of controlled conditions, the DNB was studied over a range of qualities and flows, and at pressures relevant to a PWR blowdown.

Typical parameters used for Phase I testing are shown in Table 1.5-1.

Phase I provided separate-effects data to permit heat transfer correlation development.

Phase II simulated PWR behavior during a LOCA and thus permitted the definition of the time delay associated with the onset of a DNB. Tests in this phase cover the large double-ended guillotine cold-leg break. All tests in Phase II were started after establishment of typical steady-state operating conditions. The fluid transient was then initiated, and the rod power decay was programmed in such a manner as to simulate the actual heat input of fuel rods. The test was terminated when the heater rod temperatures reached a predetermined limit.

Typical parameters used for Phase II testing are shown in Table 1.5-2.

1.5.2.2.4 Test Description The experimental program was conducted in the J-loop at the Westinghouse Forest Hills Facility. A full-length 5 x 5 rod bundle simulated one section of a 15 x 15 assembly subjected to a DNB under LOCA conditions.

The heater rod bundle used in this program consisted of internally heated rods capable of a maximum power of 18.8 kw/ft, with a total power of 136 kW (for extended periods), over the 12-foot heated length of the rod. Heat is generated internally by means of a varying cross-sectional resistor that approximates a chopped cosine power distribution. The rods were adequately instrumented, each having a total of 12 clad thermocouples.

1.5.2.2.5 Results The experiments in the DDNB Facility resulted in cladding temperature and fluid properties measured as a function of time throughout a blowdown range of 0 to 20 seconds.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-15 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Facility modifications and the installation of the initial test bundle have been completed. A series of shakedown tests in the J-loop have been performed. These tests provided data for instrumentation calibration and checkout, as well as information regarding facility control and performance. Initial program tests were performed during the first half of 1975. Under the sponsorship of the Electric Power Research Institute, testing was reinitiated during 1976 on the same test bundle. The testing was terminated in November 1976, and a new test bundle was installed prior to further testing during 1977-1978. A DNB correlation was developed from the test results and compared to the use of the steady state correlations. Since only a minimal improvement was noted, the Westinghouse LBLOCA methodology continued to use the steady state DNB correlations.

1.5.2.3 Single-Rod Burst Test The single-rod burst test results were used to quantify the maximum assembly flow blockage that is assumed in LOCA analyses.

The 15 x 15 fuel assembly rods have already been subjected to single-rod and multi-rod burst tests under LOCA conditions. The results of these tests indicated that fuel rods burst in a staggered manner, so that maximum average assembly-wide flow area blockage is 55% during blowdown and 65% during reflood, based on the characteristics of the PWR rod and the conservative peak clad temperature predicted for the period of the LOCA transient.

The single-rod burst test program for the 17 x 17 fuel assembly rods involved bursting specimens at various internal pressures and heating rates in a steam atmosphere.

In addition, tests were run on 15 x 15 fuel assembly rods to ensure the reproducibility of the 1972 single-rod burst test results. Results of the program are documented in References 14 and 15.

The single-rod burst tests and evaluation have been completed and are reported in References 14 and 15. Results of the tests show that the 17 x 17 and 15 x 15 clads do not differ significantly in failure ductility under LOCA conditions. Because of the results and the geometric scaling, the flow blockage (percentage) as determined in the 15 x 15 multi-rod burst test simulation can be used for the 17 x 17 fuel geometry.

1.5.3 Westinghouse Test Engineering Laboratory Facility 1.5.3.1 Introduction The Test Engineering Laboratory at Forest Hills, Pennsylvania, has long been the major Westinghouse center for nuclear research and development. The Test Engineering Laboratory is totally involved with the design and implementation of facilities and programs to prove the reliability of Westinghouse PWR concepts and components.

The laboratory has full in-house capabilities to design and construct PWR loops for both hydraulic and heat transfer testing programs. The most vital current project is the analysis of emergency core cooling systems by means of scale-model tests conducted on three separate facilities.

The G-loop, a test vessel that contains a bundle of 480 heater rods, is the largest such test facility in the world. The G-loop has a steam supply to provide the proper environment during system blowdown, as well as the capability to test high-pressure and low-pressure emergency core cooling systems. The G-loop operates at pressures up to 2000 psi and temperatures up to 650°F. It is designed to start operation at 8 seconds after a LOCA and is capable of investigating the upper-head injection and other spray systems of the current emergency core cooling system.

The J-loop is a test vessel containing an array of 25 heater rods, a broken-loop simulation, and an unbroken-loop simulation. The loop is designed to operate at 2500 psi and 650°F, and is capable of simulating the first 20 seconds of a LOCA with primary emphasis on a DDNB.

FLECHT-SET, a test vessel containing an array of 100 heater rods and thimbles, was used to investigate the reflood phase of the emergency core cooling system, plant system effects being measured with scaled piping and two scale-model steam generators. The facility is designed to operate at up to 100 psia.

Five general-purpose hydraulic loops were also involved in the development of improved water reactor components, as well as the reliability testing of current and prototype PWR components.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-17 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Historically, the services of the Test Engineering Laboratory have reflected the prevailing need. At the time of the North Anna FSAR submittal it was needed for the development of data on emergency core cooling systems and for the verification of many new PWR system components. Other past needs and accomplishments have included the development of supercritical heat transfer once-through loops, rod cluster control drive mechanisms, fuel assemblies, underwater handling tools, and fuel assembly grid designs. Testing at the laboratory has included air filter tests, water chemistry tests, in-pile tests of fuel rods, single fuel-rod burst tests, studies of fuel assembly hydraulics, and corrosion tests of Zircaloy and other PWR components and materials, with and without heat transfer.

The Test Engineering Laboratory is a very flexible installation, one that will continue to expand and develop as future needs for its services arise. Its staff, too, varies according to requirements. At the time of the North Anna FSAR submittal, there were more than 100 persons involved in laboratory projects, including 12 electrical and mechanical engineers, more than 75 highly skilled technicians, and some 30 specialists from other divisions of Westinghouse. The laboratory had the option of obtaining personnel from other divisions of the corporation, depending on the need for specific skills, knowledge, and experience.

Ongoing research performed at the Test Engineering Laboratory continues to demonstrate the reliability of Westinghouse PWR plant components and greatly facilitates the development of improved reactor system components. As the test center for Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems, the laboratory is totally committed to the advancement of the nuclear energy industry.

1.5.3.2 Test Loops and Equipment This section contains a brief description of the major test loops and test equipment at the Westinghouse Test Engineering Laboratory Facility.

1.5.3.2.1 A- and B-Loops: Low-Flow/High-Pressure Hydraulic Facilities These loops are small, high-pressure, stainless steel facilities used for testing small components and individual parts of larger components under normal working conditions. A canned motor pump circulates water in both the A- and B-loops at 150 gpm. Operating temperatures are obtained from the conversion of the pumping power into heat, as well as from external heaters. Typical tests run in these loops include (1) full-scale gate and check valve tests, (2) material corrosion-erosion tests, with variable water chemistry, and (3) tests of corrosion product release and the transport properties of crud. The following are the characteristics of the A- and B-loops:

Maximum flow rate at 300 ft 150 gpm

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-18 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Maximum pump head at 60 gpm 335 ft Maximum allowable temperature 650°F Normal working pressure 2000 psi Normal working temperature 600°F 1.5.3.2.2 D-Loop: Medium-Flow/High-Pressure Hydraulic Facility The D-Loop is a flexible test facility used for demonstrating the interplay of reactor subsystems and evaluating component design concepts. It contains a canned-motor pump, which produced a 290-foot head at 3000 gpm. All piping (10-inch Schedule 160) in contact with the primary water is stainless steel. The loop pressure is established and maintained by an air-driven charging pump operating in conjunction with a gas-loaded backpressure valve. Most of the power required to establish and maintain loop temperature is derived from the circulating pump operation, and 75 kW of heat is available from electric strip heaters.

The D-loop services a 24-inch-i.d. x 40-foot-long test vessel, which accommodates full-scale models of large PWR core components for operational studies. The characteristics of the D-loop are as follows:

Maximum flow rate 4400 gpm Maximum allowable pressure 2400 psi Maximum allowable temperature 650°F Normal working pressure 2000 psi Normal working temperature 600°F Pump head at 3000 gpm 290 ft Maximum pump head at 1500 gpm 340 ft Main loop flow measurement 10-in. venturi Auxiliary flow measurements 6-in. venturis (2-in. branch lines) 1.5.3.2.3 E-Loop: Low-Flow/Low-Pressure Hydraulic Facility

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-19 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

The E-loop is a low-pressure, 6-inch, stainless steel loop, with two circulating pumps.

These pumps may be connected in parallel, giving 2000 gpm at 130-foot head, or in series, giving 1000 gpm at 260-foot head. Flow and vibration studies are conducted with this loop, and, because of its low pressure, plastic models for visual observation or photography may be used. In addition, a 4-inch Rockwell water meter in a branch line permits the calibration of flowmeters up to 800 gpm. The characteristics of the E-loop are as follows:

Maximum flow rate, gpm At 130 ft 2000 At 360 ft 1000 Maximum working pressure Pump head 1.5.3.2.4 G-Loop: Emergency Core Cooling System Facility The G-loop is a high-pressure emergency core cooling system test facility designed and fabricated for 2000 psi and 650°F in accordance with ASME Section I. It consists of a main test section and vessel, an exhaust system, piping, separators and a muffler, a flash chamber steam supply system, and high-pressure/low-pressure cooling systems.

This loop is basically designed to obtain test data for the analysis of LOCA-related breaks up to and including double-ended pipe breaks. Tests are initiated at simulated conditions existing 8 seconds after the start of a LOCA. A typical run consists of constant power and pressure, followed by pressure blowdown, power decay, and emergency core cooling system activation.

The G-loop is capable of performing the following methods of emergency core cooling system: current, upper-head injection, upper-head injection with current, and other core spray systems. It may also be used for constant temperature/pressure small-leg break tests (core-uncovering tests). These tests involve boiling off water at a constant bundle power input until the rods can no longer be cooled.

The G-loop test bundle consists of 480 electrically heated rods, 16 grid support thimbles, and 33 spray thimbles, all bounded by an octagonal stainless steel baffle and arranged in a 4-loop, 15 x 15 rod bundle configuration. The loop is controlled (fully automated during transients) through a PDP-II-DEC-16k computer with a 600-point Computer Products Analog-to-Digital converter operating at a sweep rate of 40,000 points per second for data acquisition. Figure 1.5-1 is a schematic of the G-loop emergency core cooling system test facility. The G-loop system components and characteristics are as follows:

1.5.3.2.5 H-Loop: High-Flow Hydraulic Facility The H-loop is a versatile hydraulic facility that is capable of supplying 14,000 gpm of water at a developed head of 600 feet and at temperatures as high as 200°F. This 4-loop system can simultaneously handle either full-scale prototype test assemblies or one large-scale reactor model. The major purpose of H-loop is to permit the use of 1/7-scale reactor models and full-scale fuel assemblies for conducting mixing studies, flow distribution studies, and similar low-temperature/low-pressure hydraulic tests. The characteristics of H-loop are as follows:

Maximum flow rate 14,000 gpm Pressure drop across vessel model 120 psi Minimum vessel outlet pressure 10 psig Flow accuracy 0.5%

Water temperature range 70-200°F

Maximum loop-to-loop temperature variation 2°F Maximum loop-to-loop flow rate variation 3%

1.5.3.2.6 J-Loop: Delayed Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DDNB) Heat Transfer Facility The J-loop is a completely instrumented pressurized-water test facility for verifying DDNB phenomena during a LOCA and for conducting steady-state heat transfer studies. This test loop is a full-size, single-loop simulation of a typical 4-loop reactor system; it will accept a full-length 5 x 5 bundle of internally heated fuel rods. The J-loop is designed to operate at 2500 psia at 650°F, and at variable flow rates up to 450 gpm.

During LOCA tests, fluid input to the reactor vessel is closely controlled by two servo-controlled mixers, which inject a two-phase water/steam mixture into the test vessel to simulate flow from the unbroken loops. Figure 1.5-2 is a schematic of the J-loop test facility. The characteristics of J-loop are as follows:

Test fluid Demineralized water Design pressure 2500 psia Design temperature 650°F Maximum flow rate (hot) 450 gpm Power input to test vessel (maximum) 3,500,000W Primary test heat exchanger rating 11,400,000 Btu/hr 1.5.3.2.7 K-Loop: Boron Thermal Regeneration Test The K-loop, the boron thermal regeneration system test facility, is used to study the performance and to verify the component sizing of both the currently available THERM I and the improved THERM II boron thermal regeneration systems. The function of this system is to process boron-containing effluents from the reactor coolant system to yield a high-boron-concentration fraction, which can be used to borate the reactor coolant system. It also processes a relatively boron-free fraction, such as that required in load-follow operations, which can be used to dilute the reactor coolant system. The characteristics of K-loop are as follows:

Total tank capacity 30,000 gal Chiller capacity, of ice 48 tons Maximum ion exchange resin test volume 75 ft3

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-22 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

Maximum test process rate capability, bed area 10 gpm/ft2 Maximum flow test capability 200 gpm Minimum boron storage mode fluid temperature 50°F Maximum boron release mode fluid temperature 160°F 1.5.3.2.8 FLECHT-SET: Emergency Core Cooling System Facility The FLECHT-SET is a low-pressure facility that is designed to provide experimental data on the influence of system effects on the emergency core cooling system during the reflood phase of a LOCA.

The facility consists of a once-through system, including an electrically heated test section (fuel rods and housing), an accumulator, steam generator simulators, a pressurizer, catch vessels, instrumentation, and the piping necessary to simulate the reactor primary coolant loop. Data acquisition is accomplished through a PDP-II-DEC-16K computer with a 256-point Computer Products A-D converter, operating at a sweep rate of 1200 points per second. The FLECHT-SET has the following characteristics:

100-rod bundle maximum power 1000 kW Maximum bundle flooding rate 86 gpm Water temperature range 100-200°F System pressure 0-60 psia 1.5.3.2.9 Single-Rod Loop: Heater Rod Development Facility The single-rod test loop is used for the evaluation of prototype heater rods and for the in-depth study of existing rods in pressurized-water systems. The test section of the loop is easily replaced to facilitate the installation of heater rods of varying length and diameter. The single-rod loop is electrically controlled and operated by one person. Steady-state conditions and blowdown at various conditions can be simulated in the loop. The main test section can be replaced with a quartz tube, and the DNB phenomenon can be observed on a single rod with a remotely operated camera. The characteristics of the single-rod test loop are as follows:

Maximum operating pressure 2250 psia Maximum operating temperature 650°F Maximum flow rate 10 gpm

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-23 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

System capacity 5 gal Maximum power available 200 kW Piping size 1 and 3 in.

1.5.3.2.10 Hydraulic Model Testing Miscellaneous hydraulic tests on mock-ups of reactor system parts and components are routinely performed at the test engineering laboratory. Typical of this type of testing are the two discussed below, which have been completed.

Emergency Core Cooling Flow Distribution As shown above, a 10 x 10 rod bundle was installed in a plastic housing with a water supply at the top. A grid collection unit at the bottom of the bundle collected the water as it flowed through the model and diverted it to the measuring tubes at the base. Knowledge of the flow distribution in the bundle was obtained in this manner.

Sample System Mixing Test This test used one thermocouple to measure the temperature of water from four locations in a reactor. The purpose of the procedure was to determine whether the indication from the single thermocouple was representative of the average temperature of the four water supplies. A mock-up of the mixing chamber was constructed so that hot or cold waterunder closely controlled pressurecould be supplied to any of the four inlets. By running combinations of hot and cold inlets and making simultaneous recordings of the various temperatures, highly useful information was obtained.

1.5.3.2.11 Autoclave Testing The testing engineering laboratory is equipped with autoclaves ranging in size from 0.5 to 100 gallons. These devices are in constant use to determine the effects of various water chemistries on core components, and to perform corrosion tests. The units have also been used as boilers to provide steam for miscellaneous development tests, including acoustic leak detection.

1.5.3.2.12 Mechanical Component and Vibration Tests Full-scale mechanical and vibration tests of plant and reactor components are performed at the test engineering laboratory to prove the reliability of equipment design. Vibration testing of reactor components is also performed in this laboratory, using electronically excited shaker heads. Three sizes are available (2, 50 and 150 lb) for regular scale model testing at frequencies from 5 to 50 Hz.

Revision 4509/30/09 NAPS UFSAR 1.5-24 The following information is HISTORICAL and is not intended or expected to be updated for the life of the plant.

1.5.3.2.13 Electronic Component Assembly Highly skilled technicians are available at the test engineering laboratory to construct complex control and instrumentation systems. The work, which is initiated with engineering ideas and sketches, includes the mounting of process controllers, recorders, meters, relay logic, protection circuits, switches, and indicators.

Point-to-point wiring or printed circuit boards are used, as required. Final as-built drawings are prepared, and an inspection and a thorough electrical checkout are performed before installation.

1.5.3.2.14 Surveillance System Development Surveillance systems are used for the online monitoring of pressure vessels for flaws. Under development at the test engineering laboratory are electronic components for an acoustic emission monitoring system for the inservice inspection of operating plant vessels and piping. This system is designed to detect the initiation and propagation of cracks at welds, stress risers, and other locations.

Vessel flaw growth and rupture data have been obtained through joint programs at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Pipe rupture data have been obtained from NRC-sponsored tests, and hydrostatic test data have been collected and operational noise and attenuation characteristics have been measured at various operating Westinghouse plants.

1.5.3.2.15 Engineering Mechanics Laboratory Bench tests are performed in fixtures designed for the particular test using standard test equipment and techniques.
