ENCLOSURE11 NUH32PHB-0403, Revision 1, Thermal Evaluation of NUHOMS 32PHB DSC for Storage and Transfer Conditions Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant March 10, 2015

Calculation No.: NUH32PHB-0403 Calculation Revision No.: 1 AR EVA Page: 38 of 56 In determining the temperature dependent axial effective conductivities an average temperature, equal to Tavg = (T1 + T2 )/2, is used for the basket temperature. The axial effective conductivities for 32PHB basket are listed in Table 5-14.

For this purpose, constant temperature boundary conditions are applied on the outermost nodes of the slice model and heat generating conditions are applied over the fuel elements.

The heat generation rates for the slice model of 32PHB basket are calculated based on the HLZC shown in Figure 5-5 with a total heat load of 29.6 kW and a peaking factor of 1.1 for 32PHB fuel assemblies.

The following equation to calculate maximum temperature is given in [14] for long solid cylinders with uniformly distributed heat sources.

T = Tý . (5.7)

With To = Temperature at the outer surface of the cylinder (OF),

T = Maximum temperature of the cylinder (OF),

= Heat generation rate (Btu/hr-in 3 ),

ro = Outer radius = Dbasket /2 = 33.0" for 32PHB basket, r = Inner radius, k = Conductivity (Btu/hr-in-°F).

39 of 56 AREVA Equation (5.7) is rearranged to calculate the transverse effective conductivity of the basket as follows.

Qrad V (5.8)

Qrad *rO Qrad Q

baktd 4.asVet-aAT 27r -L -AT (5.9)

With Qrad = Amount of heat leaving the periphery of the slice model - reaction solution of the outermost nodes (Btu/hr),

L = Length of the slice model = 22.86",

V = Volume of the slice model = (7cro 2 L)/2, AT = (Tmax - To) = Difference between maximum and the outer surface temperatures in (OF).

Since the surface area of the fuel assemblies at the basket cross section is much larger than the other components, assuming a uniform heat generation is a reasonable approximation to calculate the radial effective conductivity.

Typical applied boundary conditions are shown in Figure 5-9 (b).

In determining the temperature dependent transverse effective conductivities an average temperature, equal to (Tmax +To)/2, is used for the basket temperature.

The transverse effective conductivities of 32PHB basket are listed in Table 5-15.

Calculation No.: NUH32PHB-0403 Calculation Revision No.: 1 AR EVA Page: 40 of 56 6.0 RESULTS For cold normal and cold off-normal storage conditions with -81F ambient temperature, the 32PHB DSC shell temperatures are derived from 61 BTH DSC shell temperatures for normal storage with 0°F ambient temperature and 31.2 kW heat load in the HSM-H model [11]. This approach is conservative and acceptable for thermal evaluation of 32PHB DSC for both cold normal and cold off-normal storage conditions.

As discussed in [16], thermal analysis results of 32PHB DSC for hot off-normal transfer condition bounds all normal and off-normal transfer conditions.

The maximum 32PHB DSC component temperatures are listed in Table 6-1 for normal, off-normal, and accident storage and transfer conditions.

The nominal DSC inner diameter (ID) is 66.0". The nominal basket outer diameter (OD) is then 65.625".

The average temperatures for the basket, aluminum rails, and shell at the hottest cross section for hot off-normal transfer condition are considered to calculate the nominal hot gap size at thermal equilibrium. The average temperatures are listed in Table A-1.

20 hrs Tava (OF)

Basket (compartments & wrap plates only) 575 Al Rail @ 0 degree 449 Al Rail @ 180 degree 398 DSC Shell 387 The hot dimensions of the basket OD and DSC ID are calculated as follows.

The outer diameter of the hot basket is:

ODB,hot = ODB + [Lss,B x OXSS,B (Tavg,B - Tref)] +

LRail x [QAI,0 (Tavg,RO - Tref)+ tAI,180 (Tavg,R180 - Tref)]

Where:

ODB,hot = hot OD of the basket, ODB = nominal cold OD of the basket

= 66.0" - 0.375" = 65.625",

LSSB = width of basket at 0-180 direction

6 x compartment width (8.5") +

7 x basket plate thickness (0.25")

= 12*0.1874+6*8.5+7*0.25 L 54.999",

LRail = width of aluminum rail = (ODB - LSS,B)/2 = 5.313",

aSS,B = Average stainless steel axial coefficient of thermal expansion (in/in-°F, interpolated using data in [9] Table TE-1),

OxAI = Average aluminum coefficient of thermal expansion (in/in-°F, interpolated using data in [9] Table TE-2),

Tavg,R180 = Average Al rail temperature at the hottest cross section at 180 degree orientation, see Table A-1 (OF),

Tref = reference temperature for stainless steel and aluminum alloys = 70°F [9].

The inner diameter of the hot DSC shell is:

IDcAN, hot = IDcAN [11 + oESS, CAN (Tavg, CAN - Tref)]

Where:

IDCAN, hot = Hot ID of DSC shell, IDCAN = Cold ID of DSC shell = 66.0",

Tavg, CAN = Average DSC shell temperature at hottest cross section, see Table A-1 (OF),

Tref = Reference temperature for low alloy steel = 70°F [9].

The diametrical hot gap between the basket and DSC inner shell is:

Ghot = IDCAN, hot - ODB,hot

  • The diametrical hot gap at the hottest cross section is calculated for 29.6 kW maximum heat loads in 32PHB basket to bound the problem. The calculated hot gap is listed in Table A-2.

A uniform diametrical hot gap of 0.27" is considered in the model between the basket and the DSC shell. This assumption is conservative since the hot gap calculated in Table A-2 is smaller than the assumed gap of 0.27".

Calculation No.: NUH32PHB-0403 Calculation Revision No.: 1 AR EVA Page: 28 of 56 5.1.4 Axial Decay Heat Profile for PWR Fuel Assemblies The axial decay heat profile for fuel assemblies considered in the 32PHB DSC is based on axial burnup distribution of VAP fuel assemblies described in [2], which can accommodate spent fuel with a maximum average burnup of 53 GWd/MTU. For conservatism, the bounding peaking factor profile is determined according to the maximum axial peaking factor value at each axial location from all Unit 1/2 fuel assemblies in [2] and is shown in Table 5-9. The discussion in [13]

shows that at a higher burnup, the heat flux shape tends to flatten with a reduction in the maximum axial peaking factor in the middle region, and the flux shape becomes more pronounced in the fuel end regions. Therefore, the application of a heat flux shape for a lower burnup spent fuel (*53 GWd/MTU) on a higher burnup spent fuel (up to 62 GWd/MTU for 32PHB fuel assemblies [4]) is conservative.

The active fuel length for 32PHB basket is divided into 21 sections. The peaking factors from [2]

are converted as follows to match the 21 regions defined for the active fuel length.

" An average height is calculated for each peaking factor section of defined in [2].

" An average height is calculated for each section of active fuel length defined in the finite element model (FEM) of 32PHB DSC.

" The peaking factor for each section in FEM is calculated by interpolation between the peaking factors in [2] using the average heights.

The peaking factors for fuel assemblies in the 32PHB DSC model are listed in Table 5-10 and illustrated in Figure 5-7.

Normalization of the area under the peaking factor curve results in a correction factor of 0.993 as calculated below.

Area under Axial Heat Profile Nomalized Area under Curve = AreanderxialeatPofile= 1.007.

Active Fuel Length Correction Factor == 0.993.

Normalized Area under Curve For conservatism, the correction factor of 1.0 is assumed in the 32PHB DSC model.

The calculation of effective density and specific heat are based on the DSC component weight data provided in [7].

The effective properties are valid only when the homogenized basket are modeled with the dimensions listed in Table 5-11 :

Where: W, = weight of basket components, Lb,,k,,= basket length (see Table 5-11),

Cpj = specific heat of basket materials.

The following assumptions are used in the calculation of the basket effective density (p) and specific heat (Cp):

" For aluminum at T > 4000 F, Cp value is conservatively assumed equal to value at 400 0 F.

  • For poison material, p and Cp value is conservatively based on Al 6061.
  • Conservatively, helium is not included in density and specific heat calculation.

The calculation of 32PHB basket effective density is summarized in Table 5-12. The calculation of effective specific heat for 32PHB basket is shown in Table 5-13.

Calculation No.: NUH32PHB-0403 Calculation Revision No.: 1 AR EVA Page: 9of56 3.0 ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSERVATISM The assumptions and conservatism considered for 32PHB DSC model are the same as those assumed in the 32P DSC model [5, 6] except additional assumptions as below:

  • Axial decay heat profile is based on axial burnup distribution of VAP fuel assemblies with maximum peaking factor of 1.101 [2].
  • Active fuel length for fuel assemblies (FA) is 136.7"and located at 6" from the bottom of the fuel assembly [2]. The position of active fuel in the 32PHB DSC model is assumed 7.0" from the bottom of the basket, which maximizes radial heat dissipation through the DSC shell to bound the maximum component temperatures conservatively.
  • 0.30" diametrical hot gap between the shield plugs and the DSC inner surface. This gap is larger than the fabrication tolerances and therefore conservative.

0 0.20" axial gap between the bottom of the basket and the DSC bottom inner cover plate.

This gap is larger than the fabrication tolerances to bound the maximum basket component temperatures conservatively by minimizing axial heat transfer through the DSC bottom plates.

  • 1.50" axial distance between the top of the basket and the DSC top inner cover plate.

The conservative assumption is that the heat transfer between the top basket and the inner cover plate only occurs by condition through cavity gas.

  • 0.01" axial air gap between shield plugs and DSC cover plates. This gap is larger than the contact gap tolerances and therefore conservative.
  • 0.27" diametrical hot gap between the basket outer surface and the DSC inner surface.

This assumption is justified in APPENDIX A. A 0.30" helium gap is modeled in the 32PHB DSC model and an effective conductivity is used for the elements that represent the 0.27" helium gaps (see Section 5.1.3).

  • 0.01" contact gap on either side of the paired aluminum/poison basket plates. This gap is larger than the contact gap tolerances and therefore conservative. This contact gap is modeled by 0.02" and an effective conductivity is used for the elements that represent the 0.01" helium gaps (see Section 5.1.3).

a DSC cavity length is modeled as 159.5" which is slightly longer than nominal cavity length from [7]. This assumption conservatively increases thermal resistance between the top of the basket and the DSC top inner cover plate.

The major component dimensions are based on nominal sizes of 32PHB basket from [7]. Due to the above conservative assumptions, small dimension differences between the modeling and nominal sizes have an insignificant effect on thermal analysis results in Section 6.0.

Radial and axial effective conductivities for homogenized 32PHB basket are calculated based on slice models of the baskets described in Section 5.2.

Calculation No.: NUH32PHB-0403 Revision No.: 1 Page: 10of56 4.0 DESIGN INPUT A thickness of 0.125" and a conductivity of 130 W/m-K (=6.26 Btu/hr-in-°F) is considered for the poison basket plates in this calculation. This poison basket plate is considered to be paired with 0.12" thick aluminum 1100 basket plate. The thermal conductivities for the paired aluminum/poison basket plates are calculated in Section 5.1.3.

4.1 Thermal Properties of Materials Material properties used in 32PHB DSC ANSYS model are listed in Table 4-1.

The effective thermal conductivities for basket components in 32PHB DSC model are calculated in Section 5.1.3.

The peaking factors used in the finite element model to create axial heat profile for the fuel assemblies are discussed in Section 5.1.4.

The effective properties of the 32PHB basket are calculated in Section 5.2. These properties are used in transient analysis.

5.1 32PHB DSC Model A half-symmetric, three-dimensional finite element model of 32PHB DSC (DSC shell and basket) is developed using ANSYS [15]. The model contains the DSC shell, the cover plates, shield plugs, aluminum rails, basket plates, and homogenized fuel assemblies. Only SOLID70 elements are used in the 32PHB DSC model.

The geometry of the 32PHB DSC model and its mesh density are shown in Figure 5-1 through Figure 5-4.

The sensitivity of mesh density on temperature distribution of the NUHOMS-32P DSC components is investigated in [6]. The results shows that the maximum fuel cladding temperature change is within 1IF for 14x14 fine mesh density compared to the coarse mesh densities between 5x5 and 6x6. Hence, a mesh density of 14x14 in the 32PHB DSC model is reasonable and acceptable.

The heat generation rates used in this analysis is calculated as follows.

0~ =( q xPFj~xCF (5.1)

Where q = Decay heat load per assembly defined for each loading zone, a = Width of the homogenized fuel assembly = 8.5",

La =Active fuel length = 136.7" [4],

PF = Peaking factor, see Section 5.1.4 for distribution of peaking factor, CF = correction factor = 1.0 assumed for 32PHB basket (see Section 5.1.4).

The heat generation rates used in 32PHB DSC model are listed in Table 5-1.

The peaking factors from [2] are converted to match the regions defined for the fuel assembly in the finite element model. Section 5.1.4 describes the conversion method and lists the peaking factors used in the 32PHB DSC model.

The heat generating rates for the elements representing the active fuel are calculated based on the heat load zone configuration (HLZC) for the 32PHB DSC. Figure 5-5 shows the HLZC with maximum heat load of 29.6 kW.

Calculation No.: NUH32PHB-0403 Calculation Revision No.: 1 AR EVA Page: 22 of 56 5.1.2 Boundary Conditions for 32PHB DSC in the HSM-HB and CCNPP-FC TC The HSM-HB to be used for the 32PHB system is the same as the HSM-H described in the UFSAR for standardized NUHOMS system [1]. The HSM-H is used to store a 61 BTH DSC (with a maximum DSC length of 195.8", DSC diameter of 67.25") [11], which has the similar design feature as the 32PHB DSC. The outer diameter of 32PHB DSC is 67.25" and the maximum DSC length is 176.5" that is slightly shorter than the 61 BTH DSC length of 195.8" considered in the HSM-H model for 61 BTH DSC [11]. Because the heat load of 31.2 kW and basket length of 164"are considered in the HSM-H model, the decay heat flux applied in the 61 BTH DSC inner shell in the HSM-H model is slightly higher than that applied in the 32PHB DSC with a maximum heat load of 29.6 kW. The short 32PHB DSC also causes a slightly lower hydraulic resistance within the HSM-H. Therefore, the values derived for DSC shell temperatures from the HSM-H model with 61 BTH DSC in [11] can be used for thermal analysis of 32PHB DSC under storage conditions.

The DSC shell temperatures for the 31.2 kW heat load in the HSM-H Model provided in [11] are used to map the surface temperatures for 32PHB DSC shell surface temperature via the related macro files listed in Section 8.0, Table 8-2. The DSC shell temperatures based on normal ambient 0°F, off-normal ambient 117 0F (average 105 0 F) and accident blocked vent (40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br />) from the HSM-H model in [i1] are design basis DSC shell temperatures for 32PHB DSC storage conditions. The differences in ambient temperatures between 61 BTH and 32PHB DSCs under storage conditions are minor and have insignificant effects on thermal evaluation of 32PHB DSC.

The 32PHB DSC shell temperatures for normal, off-normal, and accident transfer operations are retrieved from the CCNPP-FC TC model described in [16].

Typical boundary conditions for 32PHB DSC model are shown in Figure 5-6.
