WCAP-1 7549-NP Otbr21 Revision 3 1-1 1 INTRODUCTION In 2002, after increasing power to 117% of the original licensed thermal power, the steam dryer in a boiling water reactor (BWR) had a significant reduction in its structural integrity. After extensive evaluation by various industry experts, the root cause of the dryer degradation was determined to be acoustic fluctuating pressure loads on the dryer, resulting from resonances produced by steam flow in the main steam lines (MSLs) across safety and relief valve inlets. The degradation experienced in the steam dryer of a BWR led to changes to Regulatory Guide 1.20, requiring plants to evaluate their steam dryer before any planned increase in power level.The Monticello power plant has contracted Westinghouse for a replacement steam dryer, and is also planning a power uprate. In conjunction with the component replacement by Monticello and the planned power uprate, an analysis has been performed to qualify the replacement steam dryer, shown in Figure 1-1, for acoustic pressure loads and vibratory loads caused by vane passing frequency of the recirculation pumps. The process used to perform the analysis involves []a~ Acoustic loads, based on plant data taken at CLTP conditions, scaled to to EPU conditions are evaluated.

2.1 ACOUSTIC

LOAD ANALYSIS 2.1.1 Overview An analysis has been performed to assess the structural integrity of the replacement dryer for the Monticello plant subject to acoustic loads.[la~C 2.1.2 Design Requirements 2.1.2.1[la,c The replacement dryer is analyzed according to the 2004 Edition of the ASME B&PV Code, Subsection NG (Reference 1). This report documents the suitability of the replacement dryer for high-cycle fatigue loads resulting from acoustic loads and vane passing frequency loads due to the recirculation pumps. The governing criterion for the analysis is in terms of the allowable component fatigue usage.The objective of this analysis is to show that the maximum alternating stress intensity anywhere in the dryer is less than the material endurance strength at 1011 cycles. The applicable fatigue curve for stainless steel (the dryer is manufactured from SS3 16L), is shown in Figure I-9.2.2 in Appendix I of the ASME Code.]a,c 2.1.2.2 Young's Modulus Correction Before comparing the maximum alternating stress intensity to the ASME Code endurance strength, it is necessary to account for the Young's modulus correction. The analysis uses a Young's modulus of 25.425 x 106 psi, compared to the value to construct the fatigue curves of 28.3 x 106 psi. The ratio that is applied to the calculated alternating stress intensities is 1.113 (28.3 / 25.425).WCAP-17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-2 2.1.2.3 I,[lac 2.1.3 Dryer Geometry Plots showing various aspects of the dryer configuration are provided in Figures 2-1 through 2-7.2.2 [ ]a,c[1 a,b,c WCAP- 17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-3[] ,b,c Table 2-1 Vane Passing Frequency [ ]C Table 2-2 Summary of Maximum Vane Passing Frequency Stress at EPU a~b,c WCAP-17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-4 a~c Figure 2-1 Geometry Plot: [ ]2,C WCAP-1 7549-NP October 2015 WCAP-17549-NP Revision 3 2-5 a,c Figure 2-2 Geometry Plot:[I ,c WCAP-17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-6 a~c Figure 2-3 Geometry Plot: [ ]~WCAP- 1 7549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-7 a~c Figure 2-4 Geometry Plot:[I, WCAP- 17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-8 a~c Figure 2-5 Geometry Plot:[I f,c WCAP-1 7549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-9 a~c Figure 2-6 Geometry Plot:[I ,c WCAP-17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 2-10 a~c Figure 2-7 Geometry Plot:[a.,c WCAP- 17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 3-1 3 FINITE ELEMENT MODEL DESCRIPTION

As a result of approximations of the structural interactions used in developing the FEM, small errors can result in the prediction of the component natural frequencies. Varying degrees of mesh discretization can also introduce small errors in the FEM results. To account for these effects, frequency scaling is applied to the applied load history.If frequency scaling is applied,[]ac WCAP-17549-NP October 2015 Revision 3 7-4 7.2 POST-PROCESSING
