SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the results of the two review activities that were in-complete when the WNP-2 Design Reverification Program Final Assessment Report, reference 1, was transmitted to the NRC. The two activities, defined in sections 3.3.5 and 3.5.6.4 of reference 2, are the RHR piping and support reviews and effect of amplification of floor responses respectively.

The results of each of these activities were discussed with NRC staff members during a meeting held in Bethesda on November 29, 1983. This report does not change any of the results or conclusions presented at that meeting.

1.2

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS The 0.5 man years required to complete the RHR Piping and Support reviews included the examination of approximately 100 documents. Six potential finding reports (PFRs) were issued as a result of this review. All PFRs were considered valid and classified as observations by the Findings Review Committee.

Three of the PFRs concerned design and three resulted from construction activ-ities. All PFRs were transmitted to the responsible Project Organization and the deficiencies have been corrected. Table 1.1 revises a similar table in reference 2 and summarizes the distr ibution of PFRs for the overall design reverification program. Including the 6 additional PFRs in the program trend analysis yields no changes from the conclusions discussed in reference 2.

Evaluation of the effect of seismic floor amplification on attached piping and equipment required approximately 600 man hours of engineering and review. An evaluation of the concrete and structural steel floors in the reactor building was performed to determine a bounding case for further evaluation. The first mode fundamental frequencies for concrete floors were found above 18 Hz which is in the ZPA range of the response spectra. Therefore, concrete floors were eliminated from further review. The bounding structural steel floor identi-fied. at 441 feet elevation was calculated to have a first mode frequency of 9 Hz. The effect of amplification on piping and equipment was evaluated uti-lizing three increasingly complex models. It was found that although the responses at various floor locations would experience both increasing and decreasing maximum loads, the overall maximum stresses in the pipe and reac-tions in the pipe hangers are predominantly lower. In those isolated areas where increased reactions were calculated, it was shown that the original design allowables would not be exceeded.

1.3 CONCLUSION

S The following conclusions were drawn with respect to the reviews described in this report.

1. The generic problems identified during the HPCS piping and support reviews were not apparent in the RHR piping'esign. The corrective actions initiated by Burns and Roe following the HPCS reviews were effective in eliminating the generic problems.
2. The RHR piping and support design and construction are acceptable and comply with necessary design criteria.
3. Based on floor amplification reviews it is shown that the conserva-tism utilized in the original seismic design, i.e., lumped mass model response spectra, envelopes the potential effect of seismi-cally induced structural steel or concrete floor amplification on the design of floor mounted piping and equipment.

In summary, as presented in reference 2, it is concluded that the overall MNP-2 design process was conservative and produced a safe plant conforming to FSAR and regulatory requirements.

2.0. RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM RHR PIPING AND SUPPORTS DESIGN REVERIFICATION RESULTS 2.1

SUMMARY

A representative sample of the RHR System Loop B piping and supports was selected for review as part of a program described in reference 2 to verify the adequacy of WNP-2 design. The sample, discussed in reference 2, section 3.3.5, includes one large bore pipe stress anchor group and four large bore pipe hangers which were designed by Burns and Roe (BER), and one small bore pipe stress anchor group and an associated small bore support which were designed by Gilbert Commonwealth. (G/C). The purpose of this section is to provide the results of the review.

The reverification of the RHR piping and supports, as with the HPCS piping and supports, was based on a comprehensive design review approach utilizing de-tailed checklists and alternate calculations. Special attention was given to those areas of concern identified dur ing the HPCS piping and support reviews performed in June and July 1983, to assure the generic problems identified had been corrected in the RHR calculations. The reverification included review of two piping stress calculations and five pipe support calculations. In addi-tion to the detailed design reviews, alternate calculations were performed for three of the five pipe supports.

The piping stress calculations reviewed address 650 feet of RHR piping and associated pipe supports.

Table 2.1 identifies the areas reviewed and the PFRs issued in each area and their classification. Six PFRs were issued, all were classified as observa-tions. All areas of design reviewed are considered acceptable.

2.2 PIPING AND SUPPORT DESIGN REVIEW The design of the RHR System piping and supports within the reverification scope is governed by Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and ANSI 831.1, Power Piping Code. Two piping calculations, one large bore which included ASME Section III Class 2 and 3 piping and one small bore which included ASME Section III Class 2 and ANSI 831.1 piping, were chosen for re-view. The Class 2 and 3 large bore piping was designed by BKR and the small bore piping was designed by Gilbert Commonwealth. The sample includes the major pipe sizes and code classifications, a range of pipe support types and required interfaces between the design organizations, 85R, Gilbert Common-wealth, and construction contractors. Selection was made to assure coverage of the methodology, inter-organizational interfaces and compliance by each organization with the design requirements. As with the HPCS piping and sup-ports, the RHR reverification was based on a comprehensive design review ap-proach utilizing detailed checklists and preparation of alternate calcula-

-tions. The checklists were developed based on the Supply System's experience with ASME peer reviews. The following critical areas of design control, anal-ysis and field inspection were addressed:

Pi in Desi n Review o Design data transmittal o Isometric check o Modeling check o Deadweight analysis o Thermal analysis o Seismic analysis o Anchor movements o Load combinations o Pipe stress check o Support loads o Field inspection.

The review included 650 feet of piping and associated supports and anchors.

In addition to the detailed design reviews, alternate calculations were per-formed for three of the five pipe supports reviewed.

2.2.1 PIPING DESIGN REVIEW A. RHR Lar e Bore Pi in - M200 - Sh. 107 112 115 119 127 136 ASME Class 2 and 3 B&R Calculation 8.14.127B Burns and Roe Design Scope Reverification was accomplished by means of a design review of B5R calculation 8.14.127B, Rev. 9, "Stress Analysis of Isometrics: M200-Sh. 107, 112, 115, 119, 127, 136", which is a final as-built calculation. The documentation package consisted of four volumes of hand calculations and computer runs which provide documentation of the stress analysis of Anchor Group 36 piping. This piping network consists of a large volume of Loop "B" RHR piping, including portions of the RHR heat exchanger supply line, the RHR drain line, the reac-tor head spray line, and the RHR heat exchanger bypass line and connects to three nozzles of the RHR "B" heat exchanger, the fuel pool cooling (FPC) sys-tem, the reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) system, and the standby service water (SW) system. Thirty-two documents were reviewed during the course of this reverification activity.

2-7

The BM stress analysis was performed using the ADLPIPE computer program which uses linear elastic structural and spring elements. The model consisted of twelve valves, 108 supports, three equipment connections, approximately twenty small bore pipe connections and a variety of 6, 8, 10, 14, 18 and 20 inch diameter piping.

All aspects of the mathematical model of the piping system used in the com-puter runs were verified to be in agreement with the isometric drawings. Spe-cifically, the following items were checked:

Piping geometry Support types (rigid, snubber, springs)

Support locations and orientation Valve weights, orientations, inertial properties, and locations Locations of branch pipe connections Pipe and fitting sizes, materials, weights including water and

.insulation Stress intensification factors for fittings Support stiffness.

In particular, the locations of valves, supports, flanges and branch pipe con-nections were checked and found to be correct. A few minor dimensional incon-sistencies were found, but they were insignificant in terms of the stress analysis.

Each individual load evaluation was reviewed to assure that the loadings were correctly defined and that the resulting pipe loads and deflections were rea-sonable and within acceptable limits. The load cases reviewed were pressure, deadweight, several thermal expansion cases, thermal expansion range, and separate OBE and SSE seismic response spectra cases. There were no required hydrodynamic load cases. Thirteen ADLPIPE load evaluation and load combina-tion cases were reviewed in detail. These cases range from static runs to response spectra analyses.

2-8

To show compliance with ASME Code requirements, the individual load cases were combined together into normal, upset, emergency and faulted condition combina-tions, as defined by Table 6 of the BER Engineering Criteria Document (ECD),

Section I. The loads producing primary stresses are pressure, deadweight and seismic OBE and SSE. Stresses caused by thermal expansion, as well as anchor motions due to thermal and seismic events, are considered to be secondary stre'sses and are included in secondary stress equations 10 and ll of the Code.

Stresses were also checked for compliance with 85R functional capability re-quirements, as defined in Tech. Memo 1240, Rev. 2. Pipe break and welded at-tachment stress calculations were performed at the WNP-2 site and were in-cluded in the pipe support calculations.

Summary tables containing loads, deflections or accelerations, as applicable for each support, valve or branch location, were also reviewed for accuracy and completeness. The summary tables are compiled for transmittal to the ap-propriate equipment design organization.

One PFR was issued to note findings in the calculation of valve seismic accel-erations..

PFR-RHR-36, classified as an observation, reported that seismic accelerations on valves RHR-V-14B and RHR-V-104 calculated by BINR did not utilize the as-built valve stem orientation. These two valves are oriented such that their operators lie in the horizontal plane, as opposed to the vertical plane, like the other valves in this system. The accelerations were calculated and re-ported to the Supply System Equipment Qualification Group (EQ) utilizing the Global 'X', 'Y', 'Z'oordinate system. Further investigation revealed that when the accelerations are reported to the EQ group responsible for seismic qualification, the accelerations are transformed from the Global system into correct local or ientation for use in seismic qualification. This conversion is performed in accordance with Technical Directorate Procedure TDP 3.32 and the data sheet for transformation of the coordinate system. This approach is 2-9

an acceptable process for establishing seismic qualification. It could be argued, based on these considerations, that the PFR should be classified as invalid; however, since the calculation does exist with an assumption that is not the same as the as-built configuration, the PFR was reported to the project as an observation.

In conclusion, it can be stated that all aspects of the ASME piping design analysis process have been adequately addressed in the stress calculation.

The analyses meet the requirements of the ASME Code and the BER Engineering Criteria Document.

B. RHR Small Bore Pi in RHR-2289-1 and 2 ASME Class 2 and B.31.1 Gilbert Commonwealth Design Scope "This 3/4" diameter pipe serves as a drain line for the RHR "B" heat exchanger at nozzle N6 and the 18" diameter piping shown on M200-112. It consists of two stress isometrics, RHR-2289-1 (ASME CL2) and RHR-2289-2 (ANSI B31.1.) The drain piping was mathematically modeled by Gilbert Commonwealth (G/C) and analyzed on Version 4.3 of the TPIPE analysis program. Twenty-.six documents were reviewed during the course of this reverification activity.

The mathematical model correctly reflects the as-built geometry of the pipe line and all material and section properties were verified to be correct.

Stress intensification factors were correctly applied at all piping node points.

The pipe line was analyzed for deadweight, thermal, static seismic, and anchor movements due to seismic and thermal end conditions. All analyses were cor-rectly executed and end movement design data at the large bore pipe attachment point were correctly obtained from the large bore stress calculations. Subse-quent to the small bore piping design review, the large bore piping was re-analyzed resulting in larger thermal movements at the piping interface. Review has shown that the as-built piping design remains acceptable.

The various loading conditions (e.g., deadweight, thermal, seismic, etc.) are combined into the usual load combinations with one exception. Gilbert Commonwealth combines stress due to seismic anchor displacement (SAD) with the primary stress Equation 9 or with the secondary stresses in Equations 10 and

11. The SAD stress is compared to the thermal plus thermal anchor displacement stress. To obtain the secondary stresses for equation 10 and 11, the largest stress from the compar ison is added to the SAD stress. This is a very con-servative method of combining stresses. Although Equation 10 stresses are conservatively high for this line, all required equation allowables are satisfied.

The loads at the heat exchanger nozzle were reviewed to assure they were with-in the allowable values. No deficiencies were noted.

'n conclusion, no PFRs were issued in the review of the RHR small bore piping analysis. All aspects of the ASME and ANSI piping design analysis process have been adequately addressed.

2.2.2 PIPE SUPPORTS DESIGN REVIEW A. RHR-436 Ri id Vertical Su ort for M200-112 Reverification of the design for RHR-436 was accomplished by in-depth review of the BER calculation. In addition, an alternate calculation was completed to cross check the BM trunnion analysis. Eight documents were reviewed in the process of reverifying the RHR-436 design.

The hanger calculation was checked for the following items:

Correct code classification Correct procedural control of the calculation Application of correct member loads Member and weld stresses Base plate flexibility analysis, Use of correct allowable stresses.

2-11

The review of this hanger originally started in April of 1983. At that time, a discrepancy was noted in the summation of worst case loads at one of the member connections.

PFR-RHR-32, classified as an observation, was issued to document the error in the calculation of the maximum vertical load on the member connection. Anal-ysis showed that the support design was conservative and adequate for the increased load. The hanger has been redesigned based on the as-built stress calculation. The revised hanger calculation corrected the previous error and no errors were noted in the revised calculations.

To check the stress induced in the piping due to the trunnion load an alter-nate calculation was performed. The original BRI trunnion calculation used an approach based on Welding Research Council Bulletin 107 to determine stress.

The 107 bulletin approach was checked using the methodology currently under development by ASME. Calculated stresses for the two methods differed by only 4.5X; therefore, no additional PFRs were written.

In conclusion, Hanger RHR-436 is adequately designed to perform its intended function.

B. RHR-902N Snubber for M200-150 An in-depth review was chosen for reverification of RHR-902N. The BRR hanger calculation was compared to design criteria/conditions as specified in the governing design documents. Four documents were used to complete the review.

Loads used for the hanger design were verified to be in agreement with loads from the piping stress calculation.

The component standard parts (snubber, rear bracket, and clamp) were checked using the manufacturer's load condition data sheets. All component standard parts were adequately sized for the design loads and movements.

2-12

The remaining hanger parts (base plates, anchor bolts, and structural members) were checked for acceptable design margin. Stresses in members and welds were compared to allowables and the hanger base plate was checked against the de-sign guide standard.

PFR-RHR-40, classified as an observation, was issued as a result of checking the section properties used for determination of shear and bending stresses in an M4X13 beam. The analyst had mistakenly used section moduli from a W4X13 beam. Correction of the error will cause member stresses to increase slight-ly, less than 2000 psi, but will remain within allowable limits. 85R has cor-rected the calculation error.'o further action is required.

Reverification established that hanger RHR-902N was adequately designed to perform its intended function.

C. RHR-915N Snubber for M200-150 An in depth review was chosen for reverification of hanger RHR-915N. The hanger is a simple design utilizing a standard clamp, snubber and adapter to transfer the. pipe load to a base plate which is bolted to the wall.

The hanger loads were checked against the piping stress analysis load summary sheet to assure correct data transmittal between the BRI pipe stress group and the pipe support group. All loads used in the hanger design were determined to be correct.

The component standard parts used in the hanger were checked against the manu-facturer's load condition data sheets. In addition, the weld connecting the base plate to the snubber bracket was verified to have an acceptable safety margin and the base plate met the design guide criteria for stiffness.

To complete the reverification, five documents were reviewed and compared with the BER hanger calculation. No design deficiencies were noted in the hanger design.

2-13

D. RHR-184 Ri id Su ort for M200-150 Reverification of the Burns and Roe design for RHR-184 was accomplished by means of an alternate calculation. The calculation for member forces, moments and stresses was completed on a verified Westinghouse structural analysis computer program called PIPSAN.

The design loads used in the hanger design were compared to the latest hanger loads in the pipe stress calculation. It was noted that the loads from the pipe stress calculation were much lower than those used in the hanger design.

No PFR was issued to note this difference because of conservatism. The higher loads resulted from an earlier piping analysis and were simply retained by the pipe support design group since they bounded the final loads.

The hanger structure was modeled based on the as-built drawing, and analyzed for normal, upset, and faulted conditions. Initial results indicated that the hanger design was not adequate. Field inspection revealed that the as-built drawing did not clearly specify the sizes of two of the supporting members.

PFR-RHR-39 documents the as-built drawing problem and will be discussed further in the as-built portion of this report. When the correct material sizes were put into the model all calculated stresses were below the allowable limits ~

Independent hand calculations were performed to verify weld strengths and base plate stiffnesses.

The alternate calculation demonstrated that RHR-184 has adequate strength for its design loads and that the design safety margin is greater than indicated due to a reduction in pipe calculation design loads.

To complete the above reverification eight documents were reviewed.

No PFRs were written on the review of RHR-184 and it was concluded that the hanger was adequately designed.

2-14

E. RHR-2289-11 Small Bore Pi e Su ort for RHR-2289-1 Reverification of the Gilbert Commonwealth small bore pipe support RHR-2289-11 was accomplished by means of an .alternate calculation and a review of portions of the hanger calculation. Support loads were checked against those induced by the piping. A model of the hanger was then input into a structural analysis program (GTSTRUDL) for calculation of member forces and moments. One load case which conservatively added the loads on the support using absolute sums was analyzed.

To complete the reverification, nine documents were reviewed to assure inclu-sion of the appropriate design cr iteria.

Stresses and loads for all members, welds, U-bolts, and base plates were veri-fied to be within the allowables. Therefore the design was acceptable and no PfRs were issued.

2.3 PIPING AND SUPPORT ON-SITE INSPECTIONS Each piping run or support chosen for design reverification was inspected to determine if the 'as-built'onfiguration matched the assumptions or details of the design calculation and drawings.

2.3.1 PIPING INSPECTIONS As-built inspection of piping systems included verification of the following pertinent information:

o Pipe diameters, lengths, and locations of branch lines or specialty items o Valve locations, types, orientations 2-15

o Support locations, direction of restraint, clearances o Verification of boundary conditions, anchors, nozzles, penetrations o Possible interferences caused by surrounding walls, equipment, piping.

Inspections were conducted for the following piping runs:

(

1) M200-107 112 115 119 127, 136 Only piping defined as Anchor Group 36, calculation 8.14.127B, was checked, including some piping on M200-136 that was included in the analysis model for its effect on the AG 36 piping. All as-built checks were satisfactory, and no PFRs were issued. The as-built drawings are adequately reflected in the design calculation package.
2) RHR-2289-1 and 2 PFR-RHR-37, classified as an observation, was issued.to document a potential interference between the piping and a brace on pipe sup-port RHR-2289-11. This PFR was noted during the piping as-built walkdown. Analysis shows that for this small bore line, the thermal movement will eliminate any interferences. Project Engineering was notified of the potential generic consideration. The generic aspects will be addressed when Power Ascension Test 8.2.17, Piping Systems Expansion and Vibration Tests, is performed. These tests will meet the requirements of ASME Section XI, Winter 1978 Addendum and NRC letter GI2-81-62. High energy small bore piping with a safety significance is included in the testing. No further action is required.

All other as-built checks for RHR-2289-1 and 2 were satisfactory.

2-16

2.3.2'UPPORT INSPECTIONS As-built inspection of pipe and component supports included the following checks as applicable to the individual supports:

o Verification of members, welds, anchor bolts, base plates for sizes, types and quantities o Check of support clearances and direction of action o Critical dimensions check o Verification of correct standard component sizes and types for springs, snubbers, clamps, struts, etc.

As-builts of the large bore component supports RHR-436, RHR-902N and small bore support RHR-2289-llAC were verified to be satisfactory.

Except for the identified PFRs, the as-builts of the following supports were found to be satisfactory.

RHR-184: PFR-RHR-39, classified as an observation, was issued to document an incorrect deletion of material from the bill of materials shown on the hanger as-built drawing. Project Engineering was requested to correct the as-built error. The error has been corrected and no further action is required.

RHR-915N: PFR-RHR-38, classified as an observation, was issued to document an error in an overall dimension shown on the as-built drawing for the hanger.

Project Engineering was requested to correct the error . The error has been corrected and no further action is required.

3.0 STRUCTURAL MEMBERS - AMPLIFICATION OF FLOOR RESPONSE DESIGN REVERIFICATION RESULTS 3.1

SUMMARY

Section 3.5.6.4 of the WNP-2 Design Reverification Program Final Assessment Report (reference 2) indicated that the Supply System would complete a review of the BRR calculations which evaluated the effect of seismic floor amplifica-tion on floor mounted piping and equipment. This section describes the anal-yses that were performed and provides a summary of the results.

To satisfactorily resolve this issue, BER was requested to extend their anal-ysis to include concrete and other structural steel floors in order to identi-fy the most flexible floor located in the reactor building. Therefore, this discussion addresses the steel floor at reactor building elevation 444 feet as described in the Final Assessment Report, an entire concrete floor at eleva-tion 471 feet, and other steel floors including a floor at elevation 512 feet, 9-1/2 inches in primary containment.

The results of the study and our review are as follows:

1. Concrete floors in the plant have first mode fundamental frequencies above 18 Hz. Therefore, attached piping and equipment will receive ac-celerations in the ZPA range of the response spectra.

2.-- The steel floor at reactor building elevation 444 feet represents the bounding case for consideration as originally projected.

3. A comparison of the coupled floor/pipe analysis to a decoupled piping analysis, at 444 feet, demonstrated that although the piping responses at various locations experience variations both upwards and downwards, the key parameters, i.e., maximum stress in the pipe and pipe support loads, ar e lower than the original design values.

3-1

Based on the above results, we conclude that the original HNP-2 design pro-vides sufficient conservatism to envelope the effect of seismic amplification caused by the flexible floors.

3.2 AMPLIFICATION OF FLOOR RESPONSES WNP-2 Final Assessment Report, Volume I, section 3.5.6.4, discussed the results of an evaluation of the potential effect of seismic floor amplification on the design of the floors and attached piping and equipment in the reactor build-ing. The review concluded that amplification due to floor flexibility was not a concern in the design adequacy of the floors themselves. A B&R analysis of the floor amplification effect on floor mounted piping and equipment arrived at the same conclusion but had not undergone a confirmatory review by the Supply System. f During the confirmatory review, BSR was requested to extend their analysis to include concrete and other structural steel floors located in the reactor building to arrive at a bounding example for detailed analysis. To do this, the fundamental natural frequency of all major steel floors and of an entire concrete floor (elevation 471 feet) in the reactor building were calculated.

The lowest vertical natural frequency for any region of the concrete floor is 18.2Hz. The vertical natural frequency for the steel floor at elevation 444 feet is approximately 9Hz. The lowest vertical natural frequency for the steel floors other than elevation 444 feet, is 10Hz at elevation 512 feet, 9-1/2 inches in the drywell. Thus the steel floor at elevation 444 feet is a representative and critical floor.

To determine the floor amplification effect for piping attached to the steel floor at elevation 444 feet, three models of increasing complexity were devel-oped. These models are as follows:

3-2

a. Pipe model with rigid supports
b. Coupled pipe/flexible floor model
c. Coupled pipe/flexible floor/reactor building model.

Model a, which reproduces the conditions of the original design, was analyzed by the response spectrum method. In this analysis all pipe supports were assumed fully rigid. The original FSAR seismic floor response spectra, based on a lumped mass model,'enveloped for elevations 443 feet through 500 feet were used as input motion (one vertical and two orthogonal horizontal spectra). A 0.5X damping factor was used for the piping analysis.

Model b, accounts for the dynamic coupling between the floor and the attached piping. The RHR pipe was modeled as in (a), except for those supports con-necting the pipe to the floor which are modeled to represent their actual mass and flexibility. Other attachments to the floor, such as pipes and tray supports, are included as added floor masses. The floor framing was modeled as a grid, with due regard to essential characteristics such as beam flexi-bility and masses, bracing and supports. The floor grating was included as added mass only (zero stiffness was conservatively postulated). This coupled model was subjected to a response spectrum analysis, using three components of the earthquake motion. The applicable floor response spectra were obtained from a finite element (FLUSH) soil-structure interaction analysis of the reactor buiIding. This spectra reflects the current practice of earthquake design (Standard Review Plan Sections 3.7.1 and 3.7.2 and Regulatory Guide 1.60 and 1.61). A 1X damping factor was used for both the 18" diameter RHR pipe and the bolted steel floor.

Model c, was used to quantify the conservatism inherent in the model (b) analysis. It was obtained from the coupled pipe/floor model, extended so as to include the supporting concrete structure. Seismic responses are obtained from a time history analysis, for the vertical component of earthquake motion only. This choice was motivated by the results for model (b), which show that 3-3

the vertical seismic component is largely dominant as far as coupling effects are concerned. The input motion for model (c) was derived from a soil-structure interaction analysis of the basic FLUSH model of the reactor building and applied to the refined model (c) at foundation level.

A comparison between results of the models (b) and (c) analyses revealed the conservatism inherent in model (b) analysis. Stresses at critical locations throughout the pipe are uniformly lower for model (c) by a factor which varies between 0.50 and 0.75. Based on this finding, the results obtained with model (b) were conservatively scaled by a factor of 0.75 to obtain estimated design values for the coupled pipe/floor system, subjected to three directional seismic input. A comparison of this set of results with the original design values (a) shows that although pipe stresses have increased or decreased de-pending on locations, the overall maximum stress in the pipe and reactions in the pipe hangers are predominantly lower. To quantify the variability of the pipe stresses due to pipe/floor coupling effects, a variation factor was de-fined as the ratio of the stress variations to the the allowable stress. It was found that the var iation factor of the maximum pipe stress is -2.3X (de-crease), whereas at no location is the variation factor of relative ( local) maxima higher than 6.8X. Similarly, a variation factor of pipe support reac-tions was determined as the ratio of the variation of a given reaction to its design value (which includes effects of loads other than seismic). This factor ranges from a 2X increase to a 35K decrease.

During review of the BSR calculations, several conservatisms were noted which could be used to lower the coupled floor/pipe response even further. These include:

l. Use of higher damping factors as allowed by Regulatory Guide 1.61 (2X for piping over 12 in. and 4X for the bolted steel floor)
2. Inclusion of stiffness of the other attached piping, trays and steel grating 3-4
3. Completion of the actual time history analysis for model b rather than using a scaling factor to estimate response would show reduced stresses.

The results for the RHR piping studied provide a basis for assessment of other piping and equipment attached to the structural steel floors. Assessment of floor supported equipment in addition to the piping, included an HVAC fan coil unit and selected electrical cable, trays. For this equipment it was shown that there is sufficient conservatism in the original design to account for the increased response caused by conservatively calculated floor amplifica-tions.

No potential findings reports were issued as a result of this area of review.
