1.0 INTRODUCTION

This calculation updates the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) pressure-temperature (P-T) curves for the beltline, bottom head, limiting flange and non-beltline locations (feedwater nozzle / upper vessel). The P-T curves are developed for 32 and 54 effective full power years (EFPY) of operation, and are developed using the methodology of the 2001 Edition through 2003 Addendum of the ASME Code,Section XI, Appendix G [1] and IOCFR50 Appendix G [2]. This calculation has been developed in accordance with the Boiling Water Reactor Owner's Group (BWROG) Licensing Topical Report (LTR),

"Pressure Temperature Limits Report Methodology for Boiling Water Reactors" [3].

2.0 METHODOLOGY A full set of P-T curves are computed, including the following plant conditions: Pressure Test (Curve A), Normal Operation - Core Not Critical (Curve B), and Normal Operation - Core Critical (Curve C).

The curves are consolidated into three evaluation regions of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV): (1) the beltline, (2) the bottom head, and (3) the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel. The beltline region, which is typically the most limiting region, is the region adjacent to the core where the fluence exceeds 1.0 x 1017 n/cm 2 [3].

The methodology for calculating P-T curves described below is taken from Reference [3] unless specified otherwise. The P-T curves are calculated by means of an iterative procedure, in which the following steps are completed:

Step 1: A fluid temperature, T, is assumed. The P-T curves are calculated considering a postulated flaw that has extended 1/4 of the way through the vessel wall. According to Reference [3],

the temperature at the assumed flaw tip, T1 /4, may be treated as equal to the coolant temperature.

Step 2: The static fracture toughness factor, Kic, is computed using the following equation:

KIC= 20.734- eo02(T-ART) + 33.2 (1) where: Kic = the lower bound static fracture toughness (ksi'Iin).

T = the metal temperature at the tip of the postulated 1/4 through-wall flaw ('F). Note that the coolant temperature is typically used, as described above.

ART = the Adjusted Reference Temperature (ART) for the limiting material in the RPV region under consideration (°F).

Step 3: The allowable stress intensity factor due to pressure, Kip, is calculated as:

K I_ K SF -Kit (2)

(2) where: KIP = the allowable stress intensity factor due to membrane (pressure) stress (ksi*/n).

Kic = the lower bound static fracture toughness factor calculated in Equation I (ksi/in).

Kit = the thermal stress intensity factor (ksNin) from through wall thermal gradients.

SF the ASME Code recommended safety factor, based on the reactor condition.

Note: For hydrostatic and leak test conditions (i.e., P-T Curve A), the SF = 1.5. For normal operation, both non-critical and critical reactor (i.e., P-T Curves B and C), the SF = 2.0.

When calculating values for Curve A, the thermal stress intensity factor is neglected (Kit =

0), since the hydrostatic leak test is performed at or near isothermal conditions (typically, the rate of temperature change is 25°F/hr or less).

For Curve B and Curve C calculations, Kit is computed in different ways based on the evaluated region. For the beltline and bottom head regions, Kit is determined using the following equation:

Kit = 0.953 x 10-3 _CR. t 2 "5 (3) where: CR = the cooldown rate of the vessel (°F/hr).

t = the RPV wall thickness, per region (in).

For the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel region Kit is obtained from the stress distribution output of a finite element model (FEM). A thermal transient finite element analysis (FEA) is performed, and a polynomial curve-fit is applied to the through-wall stress distribution at each time point. The subsequent method to evaluate Kit is:

Kit =

  • 0.706C0, + 2a 0.53*+--.a 2 0.448C2t +

4a 3 0.393C3, (4) tr2 3zr where: a = '1/4through-wall postulated flaw depth, a = 1/4 t (in).

t = thickness of the cross-section through the limiting nozzle inner blend radius comer (in).

The thermal stress polynomial coefficients are based on the assumed polynomial form ofa (x) = Co + C. x + C2

  • X2 + C 3 x 3 . In this equation, "x" represents the radial distance in inches from the inside surface to any point on the crack front.

Step 4: The allowable internal pressure of the RPV is calculated differently for each evaluation region. For the beltline region the allowable pressure is determined as follows:

PI 't- (5)

Mm . Ri where: Paliow = the allowable RPV internal pressure (psig).

Kip = the allowable stress intensity factor due to membrane (pressure) stress, as defined in Equation 2 (ksi/in).

t = the RPV wall thickness, per region (in).

Mm = the membrane correction factor for an inside surface axial flaw:

Mm = 1.85 for 4t < 2 Mm = 0.926 4t for 2 <4t < 3.464 Mm = 3.21 for 4t > 3.464.

Ri = the inner radius of the RPV, per region (in).

For the bottom head region, the allowable pressure is calculated with the following equation:

2 -,oK (6)

SCF.Mm *Ri where: SCF = conservative stress concentration factor to account for bottom head penetration discontinuities; SCF = 3.0 per Reference [3].

Pallow, K1 p, t, Mm and Ri are defined in the footnotes of Equation 5.

For the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel region, the allowable pressure is determined from a ratio of the allowable and applied stress intensity factors. The applied factor can be determined from a FEM that outputs the stresses due to the internal pressure on the nozzle /

RPV. The methodology for this approach is as follows:

Pow -(

K Ip-app where: Pref = RPV internal pressure at which the FEA stress coefficients (Equation 8) are valid (psi).

KIp-app = the applied pressure stress intensity factor (ksi*/in).

Pailow and Kip are defined in the footnotes of Equation 5.

The applied pressure stress intensity factor is determined using a polynomial curve-fit approximation for the through-wall pressure stress distribution from a FEA, similar to the methodology of Equation 4:

2a a2 4a' Kip [ 0.706Cop + -0.0537Cip +--. 0.448C2p ++/- - .0.393C 3p (8) 2 3;r where: a = '/4 through-wall postulated flaw depth, a = 1/4 t (in).

t = thickness of the cross-section through the limiting nozzle inner blend radius comer (in).

The core differential pressure (CDP) nozzle is located in the thinner portion of the bottom head. The methodology for analyzing the bottom head, specifically Equation 6, proves to be overly restrictive for the CDP nozzle. The effect of the penetration on the bottom head may be accounted for by determining an applied pressure stress intensity factor. Using a polynomial curve-fit approximation for the through-wall pressure stress distribution from a FEA, the CDP nozzle applied stress intensity factor is calculated by [3, Equation 2.5.3-2a]:

KIp-app = JO0.723Co + 0.551CI 2a Ir

+ 0.462C.,- a2 + 0.408C 3 (9) where: Kip-app = plant specific KIp-app for CDP nozzle (ksix/in).

a = /4 through-wall postulated flaw depth, a = 1/4 t (in).

t = thickness of the cross-section through the limiting nozzle inner blend radius comer (in).

Co, C1, pressure stress polynomial coefficients, obtained from C 2, C 3 curve-fit of the extracted stresses from FEA.

Step 5: Steps 1 through 4 are repeated in order to generate a series of P-T points; the fluid temperature is incremented with each repetition. Calculations proceed in this iterative manner until 1,300 psig. This value bounds expected pressures.

Step 6: The following minimum temperature requirements apply to the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel region according to Table I of IOCFR50, Appendix G [2]:

If the pressure is greater than 20% of the pre-service hydro-test pressure, the temperature must be greater than the RTNDT of the limiting flange material plus a temperature adjustment. For Curve A calculations, the temperature adjustment is 90'F; for Curve B, the temperature adjustment is 1200, and for Curve C the temperature adjustment is the highest value between the minimum permissible temperature for the inservice system hydrostatic pressure test and the sum of the highest reference temperature of the material in the closure flange region that is highly stressed by the bolt preload plus 160'F.

StructuralIntegrity Associates, IncO If the pressure is less than or equal to 20% of the pre-service hydro-test pressure, the minimum temperature must be greater than or equal to the RTNDT of the limiting flange material. For Curve A and B calculations, the minimum temperature is the highest reference temperature of the material in the closure flange region that is highly stressed by the bolt preload; for Curve C calculations, the minimum temperature is the highest value between the minimum permissible temperature for the inservice system hydrostatic pressure test and the sum of the highest reference temperature of the material in the closure flange region that is highly stressed by the bolt preload plus 40'F.

Step 7: The final P-T limits are calculated using the following equations:

TP-T = T + UT (10)

PpT = Pallow - PH - UP (11) where: TP-T = The allowable coolant (metal) temperature ('F).

UT = The coolant temperature instrument uncertainty ('F).

PP-T = The allowable reactor pressure (psig).

PH = The pressure head to account for the water in the RPV (psig).

Can be calculated from the following expression: PH = p. Ah.

p = Water density at ambient temperature (lb/in3 ).

Ah = Elevation of full height water level in RPV (in).

up = The pressure instrument uncertainty (psig).

These additional pressure and temperature limits are not applicable to the IOCFR50 Appendix G [2] limits described in Step 6.

The P-T Curves for hydrostatic leak test (Curve A) and normal operation - core not critical (Curve B) may be computed by following Steps I through 7. Table I of Reference [2] requires that core critical (Curve C) P-T limits be 40'F above any Curve A or Curve B limits at all pressures. Therefore, values for Curve C are generated from the requirements of IOCFR50 Appendix G [2] and the Curve A and Curve B limits. IOCFR50 Appendix G [2] also stipulates that, above 20% of the pre-service system hydrostatic test pressure the Curve C temperatures must be either the reference temperature (RTNDT) of the closure flange region plus 160'F, or the temperature required for the hydrostatic pressure test, whichever is greater.

For P-T Curves A and B, the initial fluid temperature assumed in Step I is typically taken at the bolt-up temperature of the closure flange minus coolant temperature instrument uncertainty. According to Reference [2], the minimum bolt-up temperature is equal to the limiting material RTNDT of the regions affected by bolt-up stresses. Consistent with Reference [3], the minimum bolt-up temperature shall not be lower than 60'F. Thus, the minimum bolt-up temperature shall be 60'F, the material RTNDT, or other plant specific limit identified by the plant owner, whichever is higher.

File No.: 1100445.303 Page 8 of 38 Revision: 1 F0306-01 R1I

CStructuralIntegrity Associates, Inc.

For P-T Curve C, when the reactor is critical, the initial fluid temperature is equal to the calculated minimum core critical temperature in the reactor region. Table 1 of Reference [2] indicates that, for a BWR with normal operating water levels, the minimum core critical temperature at the closure flange region is equal to the reference temperature (RTNDT) at the flange region plus 60'F. Thus, the minimum core critical temperature shall be the limiting closure flange region material RTNDT+60'F or other plant specific limit identified by the plant owner, whichever is higher.

3.0 ASSUMPTIONS / DESIGN INPUTS The design inputs and assumptions used to develop the CNS P-T curves are discussed below. Design inputs and assumptions are summarized in the input listings in Appendix A.

The adjusted reference temperature (ART) values in the CNS beltline region are obtained for 32 and 54 EFPY from Reference [4]. Note that the height of the beltline increases in direct proportion with EFPY; this change in the beltline region from initial startup to end of life is referred to as the extended beltline.

The ART value calculations are performed in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Regulatory Guide 1.99, Revision 2 (RG1.99) [5]. Based on Tables 1 and 2 of Reference [4], the limiting beltline material is the Lower/Intermediate shell plate, which has an ART value of 105.8°F for 32 EFPY and 131.2'F for 54 EFPY.

Non-beltline regions are not subjected to the effects of fluence; therefore, reference temperature (RTNDT) values are valid substitutions for corresponding ART values. RTNDT values for non-beltline regions are obtained from Reference [6].

The upper bound for the calculated static fracture toughness (K,,) is assumed to be 200 ksi'Iin. This limit is assumed based on earlier versions of the ASME Code and is the limit of applicability for linear elastic fracture mechanics, rather than a material property limit.

The inner radius of the RPV at the beltline region is 110.375 inches [7]. The vessel shell thickness is taken as 5.375 inches at the beltline region from the same source. Dimensions for the bottom head radius and the thicknesses are obtained from Reference [7]. The bottom head radius is 110.5 inches and the thickness is 3.188 inches in the thin portion and 6.813 inches in the thick portion.

The GE design pressure is defined in Reference [8] as 1,250 psig. Typically, the pre-service system hydrostatic test pressure is taken as 1.25 times the design pressure, resulting in a value of 1,563 psig.

The instrument uncertainties for both temperature and pressure are given in Reference [9] as follow:

" Reactor Vessel Metal Temperature is bounded by + 5°F.

  • Reactor Vessel Pressure is bounded by +/- 25 psig.

The full vessel height in the RPV is 831.75 inches, as shown in Reference [10]. The normal operating temperature in the RPV is 547°F [8]. However, the water density is conservatively taken at a lower temperature. Thus, the static pressure adjustment due to the pressure head of the water in the RPV is File No.: 1100445.303 Page 9 of 38 Revision: 1 F0306-OIRI

CStructuralIntegrity Associates, Inc!

conservatively calculated as 30 psi for all evaluation regions and all temperatures using a water density of 62.4 ibm/ft3 . The maximum cool-down rate of the vessel is 100°F/hr per Reference [8].

According to Section 2.8 of Reference [3], the minimum bolt-up temperature for the RPV shall not be lower than 60'F. Since the RTNDT values for all regions highly stressed by bolt preload are all less than 60'F (in this case, that of the closure flange region: 20'F [6]), the initial assumed fluid temperature in the iterative P-T curve calculation process should be set equal to 60'F minus coolant temperature uncertainty (5'F in this case [9]). However, the minimum containment temperature is 70'F, which bounds the shutdown margin analysis [ 11]. Therefore, as specified in Section 2.0, the minimum bolt-up and minimum criticality temperature shall not be less than 70'F. A temperature increment of 2°F between subsequent iterations is assumed.

The 70'F initial temperature does not include the additional 60'F add-on margin for Curves A and B that was previously applied. This additional conservatism was required in pre-1971 ASME Section III Code, but is no longer required in ASME Section XI, Appendix G [1] or 10CFR50, Appendix G [2].

When the LTR [3] was developed, SI consciously recognized the additional 60'F margin and chose to exclude it, as it is not technically required.

Vessel nozzles are generally incorporated into P-T curve calculations using stress distributions from FEAs and applying them to geometry specific fracture mechanics models. The feedwater nozzle (upper vessel region) and the core differential pressure (CDP) nozzle require this type of analysis due to bounding transients they experience, limiting ART (RTNDT outside beltline) values, and/or stress concentration effects. The core differential pressure CDP nozzle (bottom head region) is analyzed because it is the limiting discontinuity in the thin portion of the bottom head. FEA is performed in Reference [12] for the CDP nozzle.

The feedwater nozzle is the bounding component in the upper vessel because it is a stress concentrator (essentially a hole in a plate) and because it typically experiences more severe thermal transients compared to the rest of the upper vessel region. A two-dimensional finite element model (FEM) of the feedwater nozzle is created as described in Section 2.0 of Reference [13]. The stress distribution acting normal to the postulated V4 thickness crack (or hoop stress distribution) due to a 1,000 psig unit pressure is obtained along a limiting path in the nozzle-to-RPV blend radius [ 13]. Pressure stress coefficients are obtained from Table 2 of Reference [ 13] and used to calculate the applied pressure stress intensity factor using Equation 8.

The hoop stress distribution in the feedwater nozzle is also obtained along the same path for a thermal down shock of 450'F [13]. Stress coefficients are calculated for all time steps in Table 3 of Reference

[13] and used to calculate a thermal stress intensity factor, Kit, due to the 450'F thermal shock using Equation 4. The maximum Kit for all time steps is used in the evaluation. Because operation is along the saturation curve, the limiting Klt is scaled to reflect the worst-case step change due to the available temperature difference. It is recognized that at low temperatures, the available temperature difference is insignificant, which could result in a near zero Kit. Therefore, a minimum Kit is calculated based on the shutdown transient; scaling of the upper vessel / feedwater nozzle Kit based on the available temperature File No.: 1100445.303 Page 10 of 38 Revision: I F0306-01RII

V StructuralIntegrity Associates, Inc difference is not allowed below this minimum K1t. The feedwater nozzle shutdown transient is analyzed with the hoop stress distribution given along the same limiting path in Reference [14]. The analysis in Reference [14] provides results for a stress free reference temperature of 70'F as well as 550'F. The choice of stress free reference temperature affects the magnitude of the differential thermal expansion stresses in the component. Both analyses are curve fit with a third order polynomial for all time points, and a thermal stress intensity factor is calculated using Equation 4. The maximum Kit for all time steps considering both stress free reference temperatures is used as the minimum K[, for the upper vessel /

feedwater nozzle. The limiting path defines the nozzle comer thickness to be 5.75 inches [14] and the postulated flaw location at 1/4t to be 1.44 inches.

The CNS bottom head exhibits a variation in thickness for different sections. It is observed that a nozzle exists in the thinner section of the bottom head. Although the nozzle is not ferritic and does not specifically require evaluation, the stress concentration effects of the penetration must be accounted for.

Per Reference [3] a nozzle specific evaluation is performed to ensure that the CDP nozzle is not limiting for any part of the bottom head curve. Initially, only Curve B is analyzed because it utilizes a higher safety factor and also incorporates the effects of through wall thermal stresses. If any portion of the CDP nozzle proves to be limiting for the bottom head, a composite bottom head curve will be created for Curve A, Curve B, and Curve C.

For the CDP nozzle a unit pressure FEA is performed in Reference [ 12] and a third order polynomial curve-fit is applied to the through-wall stress distribution [12, Table 1]. The KIp value is calculated using Equation 9. The Klt value for the CDP nozzle is calculated using Equation 3.

4.0 CALCULATIONS The P-T curves in this calculation were developed using an Excel spreadsheet, which is independently verified for use on a project-specific basis in accordance with SI's Nuclear QA program.

For the feedwater nozzle shutdown thermal transient analysis, the stress free temperature of 70'F is the bounding case. The Kit value is calculated for all time steps with the bounding Kit values shown in the plot of the polynomial curve fit (Figure 1) for time = 6792 seconds.

The feedwater nozzle polynomial stress coefficients due to pressure, thermal shock, and thermal ramp are given in Table I and are applied to Equations 4 and 8 to calculate the stress intensity factors shown in Table 1. The resulting applied pressure stress intensity factor, Kip-app, is 38.9 ksi/in, the thermal stress intensity factor due to thermal down shock is 63.5 ksi"Iin, and the thermal stress intensity factor due to thermal ramp is 11.1 ksi/in.

For the analysis of the core differential pressure nozzle, the resulting applied pressure stress intensity factor, Kip.app is 35.2 ksix/in and the thermal stress intensity factor due to the 100*F/hr cooldown rate is calculated using Equation 3 as 1.7 ksi/in.

4.1 Pressure Test (Curve A)

The minimum bolt-up temperature of 70'F minus instrument uncertainty (5°F) is applied to all regions as the initial temperature in the iterative calculation process. The static fracture toughness (Kic) is calculated for all regions using Equation 1. The resulting value of K1 t, along with a safety factor of 1.5 is used in Equation 2 to calculate the pressure stress intensity factor (Kip). The allowable RPV pressure is calculated for the beltline, bottom head and upper vessel regions using Equations 5, 6, and 7, as appropriate. For the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel region, the additional constraints specified in Step 6 of Section 2.0 are applied. Final P-T limits for temperature and pressure are obtained from Equations 10 and 11, respectively.

The data resulting from each P-T curve calculation is tabulated. Values for the beltline region at 32 and 54 EFPY are provided in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively. Data for the bottom head region is listed in Table 4, and data for the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel region is presented in Table 5. The data for each region is graphed, and the resulting P-T curves for 32 and 54 EFPY are provided in Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively. Additionally, a composite Curve A for the beltline, bottom head, and upper vessel regions is graphed and the resulting P-T curves for 32 and 54 EFPY are provided in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

4.2 Normal Operation - Core Not Critical (Curve B)

The minimum bolt-up temperature of 70'F minus coolant temperature instrument uncertainty (5°F) is applied to all regions as the initial temperature in the iterative calculation process. The static fracture toughness (K1 t) is calculated for all regions using Equation 1. The thermal stress intensity factor (Kit) is calculated for the beltline plate and bottom head regions using Equation 3 and for the feedwater nozzle using Equation 4.

The resulting values of Kjc and Kit, along with a safety factor of 2.0, are used in Equation 2 to calculate the pressure stress intensity factor (Kip). The allowable RPV pressure is calculated for the beltline, bottom head, and upper vessel regions using Equations 5, 6, and 7, as appropriate. For the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel region, the additional constraints specified in Step 6 of Section 2.0 are applied.

Final P-T limits for temperature and pressure are obtained from Equations 10 and 11, respectively.

The data resulting from each P-T curve calculation is tabulated. Values for the beltline region at 32 and 54 EFPY are given in Table 6 and Table 7. Data for the bottom head region is listed in Table 8 and data for the bottom head region represented by the CDP nozzle is listed in Table 9. Comparison of these two tables show that data from Table 8 is bounding, therefore the CDP nozzle in the bottom head region is not included as part of the composite curve for Curve A, Curve B, or Curve C. Data for the feedwater nozzle / upper vessel region is presented in Table 10. The data for each region is graphed, and the resulting P-T curves for 32 and 54 EFPY are provided in Figure 6 and Figure 7, respectively.

Additionally, a composite Curve B for the beltline, bottom head, and upper vessel regions is graphed, and the resulting P-T curves for 32 and 54 EFPY are provided in Figure 8 and Figure 9.

4.3 Normal Operation - Core Critical (Curve C)

The pressure and temperature values for Curve C are calculated in a similar manner as Curve B, with several exceptions. The initial evaluation temperature is calculated as the limiting upper vessel RTNDT that is highly stressed by the bolt preload (in this case, that of the closure flange region: 20'F per Section 3.0) plus 60'F, resulting in a minimum critical temperature of 80'F. When the pressure exceeds 20% of the pre-service system hydrostatic test pressure (20% of 1,563 psig = 313 psig), the P-T limits are specified as 40'F higher than the Curve B values. The minimum temperature above the 20% of the pre-service system hydrostatic test pressure is always greater than the reference temperature (RTNDT) of the closure region plus 160'F, or is taken as the minimum temperature required for the hydrostatic pressure test. The final Curve C values are taken as the absolute maximum between the regions of the beltline, the bottom head, and the upper vessel.

Tabulated overall values of Curve C are provided at 32 and 54 EFPY in Table 11 and Table 12, respectively. The corresponding P-T curve plots for 32 and 54 EFPY are given in Figure 10 and Figure 11, respectively.

5.0 CONCLUSION

S P-T curves are developed for CNS using the methodology in Section 2.0 and the design inputs and assumptions defined in Section 3.0. A full set of P-T curves are developed at 32 EFPY and 54 EFPY, for the following plant conditions: Pressure Test (Curve A), Normal Operation - Core Not Critical (Curve B), and Normal Operation - Core Critical (Curve C). Calculations are performed for the beltline, bottom head, and feedwater nozzle / upper vessel regions.

Tabulated pressure and temperature values are provided for all regions and EFPY levels in Table 2 through Table 12. The accompanying P-T curve plots are provided in Figure 2 through Figure 11.
